That is this day, when hardly have you done reaping one harvest of reil- glous result than the piowman is get- ting ready for another. In phraseology chewed with all venom and abuse and caricature I know that inndelt, and agnostics have declared that Christianity has col- lapsed; that the Bible is an obsolete book; that the Christian church is on the retreat. I shall answer that whole- sale charge to-day. Between 3,00th000 and 4.000.000 En- deavorers sworn before high.heaven that they will do all they can to take America for God. Europe for God, Asia and Africa for God-are not the signs most cheering? Or, to turn to the agricultural figure of my text, more than a million reapers are over- taken by more than a million plow- men. Besides this. there are more People who believe in the Bible than at any time in the world's existence. An Arab guide was leading a French infidel across the desert. and ever and anon the Arab guide would get down in the sand and pray to the Lord. It disgusted the French int1del, and after awhile, as the Arab trot up from one of his prayers. the infidel said. "How do you know there is any God?" And the Arab guide said, "How do I know that a man and a camel passed by our tent last night? I know it by the footprint in the sand. And you want to know how. I know whether there is any Ood'? Look at the sunset. is that the tootstep of A man?” And by the same process you and I have come to understand that this book is the footstep of God. But now let us see whether the book is a last year's almtnuc. Let us see whether the church ot God is 3. Bull Run retreat. muskets. canteens and haversacks strewing an the way.

I appeal to your common sense. You know the most endearing institution on mirth2 the most popular institution on earth to-day, is the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. A man ls a tool that does not recognise it. Tim infhlelg say: "There is great liberty now for infidels: freedom of platform. Infidelity shows its power from the fact that it is everywhere tolerated, and it can say what it will." Why, my friends, infidelity is not half so blatant in our day as it was in the days of our fathers. Do you know that in the days of our fathers there were pronounced infideis in public au- thority, and they could get any polit- ical position? Let a man to-day de- clare himself antagonistic to the Chris- as was enacted in the days of Robes- Pierre, when a shameless woman was elevated to the dignity of a goddess and carried in a golden chair to a cathedral where Incense was burned to her and people bowed down before her as a divine being, she taking the place of the Bible and God. while in the cor- rider of that cathedral were enacted such scenes of drunkenness and de- bauchery as had never before been witnessed” Do you think such a thing could possibly occur in Christendom to- day? No. The police of Washington, or of New York, or of Paris would swoop down upon it. I know infidelity makes a good deal of talk in our day. One infidel can make great excitement, but I can tell you on what principle it is. It is on the principle that if a. man Jumps overboard from an ocean liner he makes more excitement than all the 500 who stay on board. But the fact that he Jumps overboard does not stop the ship. Does that wreck the 500 pas- sengers? It makes great excitement when a man jumps from the lecturing platform or from the pulpit into in- tidelity, but does that keep the Bible or the church from carrying millions of passengers to the shores of eternal safety? The Christian religion is mightier to- day than: it ever was. Do you think that such a scene could be enaqted now tian religion. and what city wants him for mayor; what state wants him for governor: what nation wants him for president or for king? Let a man openly proclaim himself the enemy of our glorious Christianity, ,nd he can- not get a majority or votes in any state, in any city, in any country, in any ward of America. These opponents say that science is overcoming religion in our day. They look through the spectacles ot the In- tidel scienuists, and they say: "It is impossible that this book be true. Peo- ple are finding it out. The Bible has trot to go overboard. Science is going to throw it overboard." Do you be- lieve that the Bible account of the origin of life will be overthrown by infidel scientists who have 50 different theories about the origin of life? If they should all come up in solid phalanx all agreeing on one sentiment and one theory, perhaps Christianity might be damaged, but there are not so many differences of opinion inside the church as outside the church. Oh, it makes me sick to me these literary tops going along with a. copy of Dar- win under one arm and a case of transilxed grasshoppers and butterflies under the other telling about the “sur- vival ot the fittest" and Huxley’s protoplasm and the nebular hypothe- sis! The fact is some naturalists Just as soon as they ttnd out the difference between the feelers of a wasp and the horns of a beetle begin to patronise the Alim-ighty, while Asasuz, glorious Agassiz. who never made any pre- tension to being a Christian, puts forth his feet on the doctrine of evo- lution and says: "I see that many of the naturalists of our day are adopt- ing facts which do not bear observa- tion or have not passed under obser- vation. These men warring with each other-Darwin warring againet La- march. Wallace warring aganst Cope, even Herschel denouncnnr Ferguson. They do not agree on embryology, do not agree on the gradation of the ”who." F Here these Infidel scientists have im- paneled themselves as a Jury to decide this trial between intMelity, the plain- tiff, and Christianity, the defendant. and after being out for centuries they come in to render their verdict. Gem. tlemen of the Jury, have you agreed on a verdict'? No, no. Then go back tor another 500 years and deliberate and agree on something. There is not a poor miserable wretch in the city prilon to-morrow that could be con- demned by a. Jury that did not agree on the verdict, end yet you expect us to give up our glorious Christianity to please theoe men who cannot agree on anything. Ah, my friends. the church of Jesus Christ instead of tau- Inq back is on the advance. I am certain it is on the advance. I see the [littering of the swords; I hear the twinning of the troops; I hear the thundering parks of srtiliery. o God, I thank thee that I have been per- mitted to see this day of thy triumph. this day of the confusion of thine ene- mies! o Lord God, take thy sword from thy thigh and ride forth to the victory'. And then I ttnd another most en- couraging thought in the fact that the secular printing press and the pulpit seem harnessed in the same team tor the proclamation of the gospel. Every banker in this capital to-morrow, every Wall street banker to-morrow in New York. every State street ban- ker to-morrow in Boston. every Third street banker to-morrow in Philadel- phia, every banker in the United States and every merchant will have in his pocket a treatise on Christian- ity, IO, 20 or 30 passages of scripture in the reports ot sermons preached throughout the land to-day. It will be so in Chicago, 50 in New Orleans, so in Charleston, so in Boston. so in Philadelphia. so in Cincinnati, 30 ev- erywhere. I know the tract societies we dung a grand and glorious work, bat. I ter you there is no power on earth to-day equal to the fact that the American printing press is taking Up the sermons which are reach- ed to a. few hundred or a. few thousand people. and on Monday morning and Monday evening scatter- ing that truth to the millions. Then you have noticed a more alg- nitleant tact if you have talked with people on the subject, that they are getting disgusted with worldly phil- osophy as a matter of comfort. They say it does not amount to anything when you have a dead child in the house. They te'l ya when they were sick and the door of. the future seem- ed opening, the only comfort they could find was the gospel. People are having demonstrated all over the land that science and philosophy can- not solace the troubles and woes of the world, and they want some other religion, and they are taking Chris- tianity the only sympathetic reli- gion that ever came Into the world. You Just take a. tscientific consolation Into that room where a mother has lost her child. Try In that case your splendid doctrine of the "sur- vival ot the fittest." Tell her that child died because it was not worth as much as the other children. That is your 'survival of the ttttest." Just try your transcendentalism. your philosophy. your science, on that widowed soul. and tell her it was a geological necessity that her companion should be 'taken away from her, Just as in the course of the world's history the megatherium and the lchthyosaurus had to pass out of existence, and then you go on in your 'scientific consolation until you of existence, and then you go on in' your Bcientitlc consolation until you get to the sublime fact that ii0,000,000 years from now we ourselves may be scientific specimens on the geologic shelf, petrified specimens of an ex- tinct human race. And after you have got all through with your consolation. it the poor afflicted soul is not crazed by It, we will send forth from any ot our churches the plainest Christian we have and with one half hour of prayer and reading of Scripture promise the tears will be wiped away, and the house from floor to cupola will be flooded with the calmness of an ndian summer sunset. There is where I see the tri- umph of Christianity. People are dis- satistied with everything else. They want God. They want Jesus Christ. Young man, do not be ashamed to be a friend ot the Bible. Do not put your thumb in your vest, as young men sometimes do, and swag- ger about talking ot the glorious light of nature and of there being no need of the Bible. They have the light of nature in India and China, and in all the dark places of the earth. Did you ever hear that the light of nature gave them comfort for their trouble? They have lancets to cut and juggernauts to crush, but no comfort. Ah, my friends, you had better stop your skepticism. Suppose you are put in a crisis like that of Col. Ethan Allen. I saw the ac- count and at one time mentioned it in an address. A descendant of Ethan Allen, who is an inttdel, said it never occurred. Boon after I re- ceived a letter from a professor in one of our colleges, who is also a descendant of Ethan Allen and is a Christian. He wrote me that the in- cident was accurate; that my state- ment was authentic and true. The wife of Col. Ethan Allen was a very consecrated woman. The mother instructed the daughter In the truths of Christianity. The daughter sicken- ed and was about to die, and she said to her father: 'Father, shall I take your Instruction or shall I take 'rnother's instruction? I am going to die now; I must have this matter 'decided.” That man, who had been lioud in his Infidelity, said to his dy- ing daughter, “My dear, you had better take your mother's religion." My advice is the some to you. o young man.' You know how religion comforted her. You know what she said to you when she was dying. You had better take your mother's relig- Mature " at St. Louis.
