of Unrknoax. "
Squeamishnesa and faotldiousness
were never charged against Paul's
rhetoric. la the war against evil he
"
took the first weapon he could lay his
hand on. For illustration , he em
ployed the theater , the arena , the foot
race , arid there was nothing In the
Isthmian game , with its wreath of
pine leaves ; or Pythian game , with its
wreath of laurel and palm ; or Nomcan
game , with its wreath of parsley ; or
any Roman circus , but he felt he had a
right to put it in sermon or epistle ,
and are you not surprised that in my
text he calls upon a wrestling bout
for Buggestiveness ? Plutarch says
that wrestling is the most artistic and
cunning of athletic games. We must
make a wide difference between pugil-
lam , the lowest of spectacles , and
wrestling , which Is an effort in sport
to put down another on floor or ground ,
and we. all of us. indulged in it in
our boyhood days , if we were health
ful and plucky. The ancient wrestlers
were first bathed in oil , and then
sprinkled with sand. The third throw
decided the victory , and many a man
who went down In the first throw or
second throw , in the third throw was
on top , and his opponent under. The
Romans did not like this game very
'much , for it was not savage enough ,
no blows or kicks being allowed In the
jgame. They preferred the foot of
( hungry panther on the breast of fallen
martyr.
In wrestling , the opponents would
'bow In apparent suavity , advance face
jto face , put down'both feet solidly ,
'take ' each other by- the arms , and push
: each- other backward and forward until -
! til the work began in real earnest , and
there were contortions and strangula-
jtions and violent strokes of the foot
of one contestant against the foot of
'
'the other , tripping him up. or with
struggle that threatened apoplexy or
death , the defeated fell , and the shouts
of the spectators greeted the victor. I
guess Paul had seen some such con
test , and It reminded him of the strug-
'gle of the soul with temptation , and
the etruggle of truth with error , and
the struggle of heavenly forces against
apollyonlc powers and he dictates my
text to an amanuensis , for all his let
ters , save the one to Philemon , seeni
to have been dictated , and as the
amanuensis goes on with his work I
hear the groan and laugh and shout
of earthly and celestial belligerents :
"We wrestle not against flesh and
blood. but against principalities ,
against powers , against the rulers of &
the darkness of this world , against
spiritual wickedness in high places. " whi
I notice that as these wrestlers ad hi
vanced to throw each other they bowed cc
one to the other. It was a civility , not ta
only in Grecian and Roman games , but hj
In later day , in all the wrestling bouts hz
at Clerkenwell , England , and in the fa C3
mous wrestling match during the reign sy
of Henry III. , in St. Giles' Field , be bt
tween men of Westminster and people ch
of London. However rough a twist ur
and hard a pull each wrestler contem ar
plated giving his opponent , they approached an
preached each other with politeness prwi
and suavity. The genuflexions , the af wi
fability , the courtesy in no wise hin til
dered the decisiveness of the contest. hi
Well , Paul , I see what you mean. In he
this awful struggle between right and ba
wrong , we must not forget to be gen Gc
tlemen and Iadle& . th :
We are in the strength of God to Je
throw flat on Its back every abomina
tion that curses the earth , but let us wi
approach our mighty antagonist with te
suavity. Hercules , son of Jupiter and cic :
Alemene , will by a precursor of smiles th
be helped rather than damaged for the thi
performance of his "twelve labors. " sel
Let us be as wisely strategic In religious an
anW
gious circlesasattcrneysin court-rooms , W
who are complimentary to each other ab
In the opening remarks , before they thi
come Into legal struggle such as that ed
which left Rufus Choate or David Paul wr
Brown triumphant or defeated. People
ple who get Into a rage In reforms- bui
tory work accomplish nothing but the EOl
depletion of their own nervous system. ha-
There is such a thing as having a gun ma
BO hot at the touch-hole that it ex giv
plodes , killing the one that sets it off. am
There are some reformatory meetings ity ;
to which I always decline to go and hui
* ake part , because they are apt to be hui
come demonstrations of bad temper. Bll
3 never like to hear a man swear , even sev
tthough he swear on the right side. em
Tne very Paul who In my text em wil
ployed in illustration the wrestling fou
match , behaved on a memorable occa Goi
sion as we ought to behave. The and
translators of the Bible made an unin nifi
tentional mistake when they repre bro [
sented Paul as insulting the people of and
Athens by speaking of "the unknown wo
god whom ye ignorantly worship. " troi
Instead of charming them with Ig bar
norance , the original indicates he complimented rafl
raflT
plimented them by suggesting thac T
they were very religious ; but as they 'hap
confessed that there were some things tak
they did not understand about God. he unl
proposed to say some things concern on
ing Him , beginning where they had poll
left off. The same Paul who said in wh <
one place. "Be courteous , " and who eve
had noticed the bow preceding the and
wrestling match , here exercises suavi Chr
ties before proceeds practically to birt
throw down the rocky side of the gatl
Acropolis the whole Parthenon of idol thai
atries , Minerva nnd Jupiter smashed fort
up with the rest of them. In this holy in
war polished rifles will do more execu hou >
tion than blunderbusses. Let our his
wrestlers bovr as they go Into the his
struggle which will leave all perdition
under and all heaven on top.
Remember also that tnese wrestlers
went through severe and continuous
course of preparation for their work.
They were put upon such diet as would
best develop their muscle. As Paul
says. "Every man that strlveth for the
mastery ly temperate In all things. "
The wrestlers were put under complete
discipline bathing , gymnastics , strug
gle in sport with each other to de
velop strength and give quickness to
dodge cf head and trip of foot ; stoop
ing to lift each other off the ground ;
suddenly rushing forward ; suddenly
pulling backward ; putting the left foot
behind the other's right foot , and get
ting his opponent off his balance ; hard
training for days and weeks and
months , so that when they met it was
giant clutching giant. And , my
friends , if we do not want ourselves to
be thrown In this wrestle with the sin
and error of the world , we had better
get ready by Christian discipline , by
holy self-denial , by constant practice ,
by submitting to divine supervisal and
direction. Do not fcegrude the time
and the money for that young man
who Is in preparation for the ministry ,
spending two years iu grammar school ,
and four years in college , and three
years in theological seminary. I
know that nine years are a big slice
to take off of a man's active life , but
if you realized the height and strength
of the archangels of evil in our time
with which that young man is going
to wrestle , you would not think nine
years of preparation were too much.
An uneducated ministry was excusable
in other days , but not in this time ,
loaded with schools and colleges. A
man who wrote me the other day a
letter asking advice , as ho felt called
to preach the Gospel , began the word
"God" with a small "g. " That kind cf
a man is not called to preach the Gos-
pel. Illiterate men , preaching tha
Gospel , quote for their own encourage-
men the scriptural passage. "Open thy
mouth wide and I flll It. " Yes ! He
will fill it with wind. Preparation for
this wrestling Is absolutely necessary.
Many years ago Doctor Newman and
Doctor Sunderland , on the platform
of Brigham Young's tabernacle at
Salt Lake City , Utah , gained the vie-
tory because they had so long been
skillful wrestlers for God. Otherwise
Brigham Young , who was himself a
giant in some things , would have *
thrown them out of the window. Get
ready in Bible classes. Get ready in
Christian Endeavor meetings. Getfl
ready by giving testimony in obscure
places , before giving testimony in con
spicuous places.
Your going around with a Bagster's
Bible with flaps at tha edges , under
3'our arm , does not qualify you for the
work of an evangelist. In this day of h
profuse gab , remember that It is not
PIm
merely capacity to talk , but the fact
that you have something to say , that is
going to fit you for the struggle Into
which you are to go with a smile on
your < face and illumination on your h
brow , but out of which you will not tc
come until all your physical and men h
tal and moral and religious energies fa
have been taxed to the utmost and you a
have not a nerve left , or a thought un hi
expended , or a prayer unsaid , or a ca
sympathy unwept. In this struggle oi
between Right and Wrong accept no fo
challenge on platform or in newspaper ai
unless you are prepared. Do not mis he
apply the story of Goliath the Great , th
ind David the Little. David had been fo
practising with a sling on dogs and sti
svolvea and bandits , and a thousand jp
times had he swirled a stone around ga
iiis head before he aimed at the fore- th :
thW
lead of the giant and tumbled him W
jackward , otherwise the big foot oi ! Tl
jollath would almost have covered up
he crushed form cf the son of Ai
Fesse. * *
Notice also that in this science of
vrestling. to which Paul refers in my O3
ext : , It was the third throw that de-
Ided the contest. A wrestler might be air
brown : once and thrown twice , but
he third time he might recover him-
elf , and , by an unexpected twist of bet
irm or curve of foot , gain the day. thj
Veil ( , that is broad , smiling , unmlstak- of
ble ! Gospel. Some whom I address tie
hrough ear or eye. by voice or print- inc
page , have been thrown in their om
trestle with evil habit. , -
Aye ! you have been thrown twice ; . .
that does not mean , oh ! worsted
oul , that you are thrown forever. I
ave no authority for saying how
thi
lany times a man may sin and be for-
pos
iven , or how many times he may fall On
yet rise again ; but I have author-
ag
for saying that he may fall four
goi
undred and ninety times , and four be
undred and ninety times get up. The bel
ilblo declares that God will forgive con
sventy times seven , and if you will tW
mploy the rule of multiplication you fou
ill find that seventy times seven is con

itherlngs around loaded tables. But
husband and father forms an un-
rtunate acquaintance who leads him P
circles too convivial , too late- tcet
ured , too scandalous. After awhile , Frii
money gone and not able to bear do
part of the expense , he is gradu- trac
ally shoved out and Ignored and push
ed away. Now , what a dilapidated
home is his ! A dissipated life always
shows Itself In faded window curtains ,
and impoverished wardrobe , and de
jected surroundings , and in broken
palings of the garden fence , and the
unhinged gate , and the dislocated door
bell , and the disappearance of wife and
children from scenes among which
they shone the brightest , and laughed
the gladdest. If any man was ever
down , that husband and father is
down. The fact Is , he got into a
wrestle with Evil that pushed and
pulled and contorted and exhausted
him worse than any Olympian- game
evsr treated a Grecian , and he was
thrown. Thrown out of prosperity into -
to gloom. Thrown out of good asso-
elation into bad. Thrown out of
health into invalidlsm. Thrown- out
of happiness Into misery. But one
day , while slinking through one of the
back streets , not wishing to be recog-
nized , a good thought crosses his mind ,
for he has heard of men flung flat ris
ing again. Arriving at his house , he
!
calls his wife in and shuts the door
and says : "Mary , I am going to do
differently. This is not what I promised -
ised you when we were married. You
have been very patient with me , and
have borne everything , although I
would have had no right to complain
if you had left me and gone home to
your father's house. It seems to me
that once or twice , when I was not
myself , I struck you , and several times ,
I know , I called you hard names. Now
I want you to forgive me. " "Help
you ? " she says ; "bless your soul ! of
course I will help you. I knew you
didn't mean it when you treated me
roughly. All that is in the past , j
Never refer to It again. Today let us |
begin anew. " Sympathizing friends
come around and kind business people
help the man to something to do , so
that he can again earn a living. The
children soon have clothing so that
they can go to school. The old songs
which the wife sang years ago come
back to her memory , and she sings
them over again at the cradle , or while l
preparing the noon-day meal. Domestic -
tic resurrection ! He comes home
earlier than he used to , and ho is glad :
to spend the evening playing games
with the children or helping them with
arithmetic or grammar lessons which ,
are a little too hard. Time passes on , i
and some outsider suggests to him that
he is not getting as much out of life
(
as . he ought , and proposes an occaj j
sional visit to scenes of worldliness
and dissipation. He consents to go
once , and , after much solicitation ,
twice. Then his old habit comes back ,
tiH
He says he has been belated , and could '
not get back until midnight. He had ,
tc see some Western merchant that
tchi
had arrived and talk of business with
him before he got out cf town. Kindsi
ness and geniality again quit the dis- \
niPI
position of that husband and father.v
The wife's heart breaks in a new place.
That man goes into a second wrestle p
with evil habit and is flung , and all
hell < cackles at the moral defeat. "I
told you so ! " say many people who C
have ; no faith in the reformation of a j p
fallen man. "I told youso , ! You made ri
great fuss about his rectored home , si
but I knew it would not last. You CI
can't trust these fellows who have fc
once gone wrong. " So with this un
fortunate , things get worse and worse , w
and his family haveto give up the ol
house , and the last valuable goes to bi
the pawnbroker's shop. But that un- biA
fortunate man is sauntering along the
street one Sunday night , and he goes cj
to a church door , and the congre-
jation are singing the second hymn ,
he one just before sermon , and it i a.
kVilliam Cowper's glorious hymn.
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emanuel's veins ;
\.nd sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

It is a fact , though probably not gen
erally ( known outside of transportation
circles ( , that there is , so to speak , a
close ( community of Interest between
the ( principal trunk lines of railroad in
this ( country and foreign steamship
companies. This combination enables
the ( railroad companies to secure the
distribution ( of imported goods and
also to gather and deliver to the
j
steamship lines outward-bound car
goes , both steamship and railroad
lines j apportioning the rates of freight
and sharing In the profits of the trans
portation.
Of the five principal lines of railroad
connecting the interior with Atlantic
ports , all but one have combinations
with foreign steamship lines , and thus
the carriage of the commerce of the
country , from the various points of
production to those of distribution and
consumption , is almost wholly directly
or indirectly controlled by alien inter
ests and combinations. The solitary
exception among the railroad lines
maintains an independent system of
steamship connection ; otherwise it
also would probably be obliged to com
bine with alien ocean transportation
|
interests in order to get its share of
;
the traffic.
This shows how absolutely necessary
| is that whatever protection is af
forded to American over sea shipping
interests shall be ample and of such a
character as to give assurance of per
manency In order to he entirely effec
tive. The reciprocity navigation treat
ies now in force require that at least
twelve * months' notice shall be given of
their abrogation. It is easily conceiv
able that during this interval of
twelve months the enormous aggrega
tion of foreign capital employed in
alien transportation lines , and the in
fluence of the railroad interests allied
with these lines , would combine with
the.object of securing the repeal or at
least 1 the modification of enactments of
a character so Inimical to their in
terests < as provided for the imposition
of discriminating duties against im
ports la foreign vessels. 0
The profits of ocean freight carrying
are very largely derived from im A
ported < goods having high freight class
ification. Aliens practically enjoy the
monopoly of ocean transportation , and
through agreements among them sc
selves , freight rates are maintained ce
with general uniformity. With out in
ward-bound cargoes practically as of
sured , through combinations with the thai
thm
principal ; railroad lines , and with but m
little competition in passenger busi
ness , the foreign steamship companies cc
could well afford to lower rates on im ti
ports , to such a figure as would mate th
rially lessen the profits of American th
ships enjoying the protection of dis
criminating duties against imports in
foreign vessels.
Therefore , the measure of protection
which it is proposed to give with the in
object of promoting American ship 02
building interests and restoring the go
American : merchant marine should , at va
the outset , be so liberal and of such a Pi
character as not only to be entirely ef Uf
fective in its purpose , but such as to Mi
give assurance of being maintained for in
term of years. pn
Capitalists could net be expected to lca
take the risk of establishing plants for
the construction of 're
cargo ships to
compete with foreign vessels if there wi
should be the remotest probability of thi
uch modification of the measure of An
irotectlon , through foreign or domes- the
ic Influences , as would tend to d's- wi
ourage the operation of such vessels
when they were water born. Neither to
vould managers of the projected ships ins
likely to perfect their arrangements CO
employing the vessels in the over- iru
' trade without some assurance that wa
he protection afforded would be suf- thr
icient to enable them successfully to
ompete with alien enterprises. om
It Is believed by those who have prc
iven this matter careful consideration api
hat 10 per cent discriminating duty is
.gainst ; imports in foreign vessels is
lone too great , and that any less de-
Tee of protection would be ineffective i
, moreover , discouraging to the in- pri
erests which are sought to he pro- "
aoted. Hon. Stephen B. Elkins , the Uu
ramer and the earnest advocate of the ent
leasure providing for discriminating tab
uties on Imports in foreign vessels , in dus
speech in the senate in April , 1S97 , foil
aid : rep

iat the principle has been tried for Ii

Though the measure is to some ex- the

WORKINGMEN AROUSED. balr
the
to the Importance of an American dor
Merchant Marino.
last
There are many gratifying evidences a pc
an awakening of interest on the part ice
the worklngmen of the United States Oce : :
concerning the restoration of the
American merchant marine. The vast
importance of this question as affectIng -
Ing the Interests of American labor
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Once the wage earners become thor
oughly alive to the fact that in the re
habilitation of their country's ruined
shipping industry there is an immense
outlet for remunerative employment ,
there will be heard from the masses ot
the people a demand for prompt action
that cannot be Ignored.
Already the subject has been taken
up by the New York state organization
of the Knights of Labor , and a com
mittee representing that body is now
actively engaged fin working for a
recognition cf the needs of the Amer
ican marine at the hands of the lead
ing political parties. The resolution
under which this committee is working
was adopted at the last state congress
of the New York K. of L. and de
mands :
"The introduction of a plank" In the
platform of each political party in
every state in the Union favoring the
national policy of re-establishing the
American merchant marine , thus to
regain our lost carrying trade ; and
that every candidate for congress be
pledged , as a condition precedent to
our support , to bend every effort , If
elected , toward the accomplishment of
this object. "
The workingmen of the seaboard
districts are not alone in their zeal
for the revival of the shipbuilding and
ship sailing Industry. ' The wage earn
ers of the Mississippi valley have be
gun to interest themselves in the ques
tion , as will be seen from the following
letter to the American Economist
from R. L. Hilton , Grand Master Work
man of the Ancient Order of Uniteda.
Workmen of Iowa :
"Grand Lodge Ancient Order ot
United Workmen , Ottumwa , Iowa , September -
tember 15 , 1898. National pride ought
to be a strong factor with all patriotic
citizens. American people generally
glory in the recent success of the
American navy , and If they could be
made to realize that a great essential
for an ever ready and effective navy is
an : active , growing , prosperous mer-
chant marine , it would help to remove
the obstructions which have been so
tlsi
strong in these later years.
Then organized labor Is today a fixed g
fact , seeking in many instances to
fzdi
dominate. And If the labor organiza
tions of the country could be made to
see and feel that the building and °
operating ] of an American merchant
marine would create a demand for
American labor , that would be a great
help. Then Republican candidates and
speakers and the Republican press
should emphasize the thought ; but
somehow on this matter , with rare ex
ceptions they are , as they were regard
ing the tariff , tardy to learn , and some
them , I fer.r , unconscious of the fact
that they have need to learn. They do
not realize that shipbuilding , though
ai Industry on the coast , and ocean
commerce are more important to na
tional < prosperity and independence
than any particular or inflated condi
tion cf the silver market. "
Foreign Capital Invited by Protect Ion.
The "importer's revenge" referred to
a recent issue of the American Ecou-
jinist that of retaliating upon our
government's refusal to admit under
valued goods by establishing a large
jlant : in the United States for the man-
ifacture ! of these goods Impresses the
Minneapolis "Tribune" as "an interest-
r
ng ; illustration of the working of the
rotective principle in favor of Amer-
can labor. The "Tribune" remarks :
"If this Is their mode of securing r
revenge' on the customs officials , it
viii be a revenge that will conduce to
he interest of American labor and
American farmers and merchants , for
work of manufacturing their goods
nil be done here. American workmen
rill be employed , and the wages paid
their employes will be spent here
nstead cf abroad. Thus protection en-
ourages an importation of capital and
ndustries rather than of goods. The
ray to national development is
tirough the diversification and niulti-
Hcation of industries. Political econ-
mists say we need foreign capital to
roperly stimulate our growth , and the
pplication of the protective principle
bringing it to us. "
