To show how (lod In tho lliblo looked ukui
lids crime, 1 point jou to tho rogues'
plctiiro gallery In somo parts of tho
lliblo, tho pictures of tho coplowho havo
committed this unnatural crlmo. Hero Is
the headless trunk of Htul on the walls of
Hithshaii. Hero in tho man who chased llttlo
David ten feet In stature chasing four.
Hero In tho man who consulted a clairvoy
ant, Witch ol Hndor. Hero isa man "ho,
whipixil iu battle, Instead of surrendering
his sword with dignity, an many a man has
done, asks his servant to slay him; mid when
tho servant declines, then tho giant plants
tho hilt of tho Hwordliilho earth, tho sharp
point sticking upwind, mid ho throws his
body on It mid expires, tho coward, the sui
cido. Hem Is Ahlthophel, 'ho Muchlavelli
(if olden times, iKirayiug his best friend
David in order that ho may Ix'coino prima
miiihtcr of Absalom, mid joliiin;; that fel
low In his attempt at parricide. Not getting
what ho wanted by change of polities, ho
takes a short cut out of u disgraced lifo
Into tho suicide's eternity. 'Ilielo ho is, tho
, iugratet
I Hero Is Abimelech, piv.ctically u suicide.
I Ho is with mi army, bombarding n tower,
when a woman lu tho tower takes a grind
stone from its place nutl dropi it upon his
head, ami with what lllo lio has left iu his
cracked skull ho commands bis armor lieaier:
I "Draw thy sword and slay mo, Ic&t men say
a women slow lie.;." Tlieio is his hisI murlelil
photograph iu the bok of .Samuel. Hut tho
lieio of this group is Judas Iscarmt. Dr.
Donne says he was a martji, und wo h.ivo iu
I our day atiologisU for him. And what won

on tho pirt of somoof his pretended apostles
a betrayal so black it makes tho Infamy of
Judas Iscariot whitol Vot this mail by his
own hand hungup fur tho execration of all
tl'oages, Judas Iscariot.
All the good men undwomeuof tho lliblo
left to God tho decision of their earthly ter
minus, and they could huuisaid with Job,
w ho had a right to commit suicido if any mini
over had what with hwdestroved nronertv.

I broken pottery, yet crying out in triumph:
"All tho ilaj.i of my appointed llmo will 1
wait till my change come."
Notwithstanding tho lliblo is against this
evil and tho aversion which it creates by tho
loathsome and ghastly scetaclu of thoso who
havo hurled themselves out of life, and uot
wlthstaudliig Christianity is against it, nud
tlio arguments and the useful lives and tho
illustrious deaths of Its disciples, it Is a tact
ulariuingly patent tlmt suicido is on tho in
civuse. What Is tho cause? I chargo upon infldo'
ity mid agnosticism this whole thing. f
thero bo no hereafter, or If that hereafter l,o
blissful without reference to how wo live and
how we die, why not movo back tho folding
doors between this world and tho next! And
when our existence hero Incomes trouble
some, why not kus rigut over into KUsliunl
Put this down among your most solemn to
flections, mid consider It aiterjou go to yoi.r
homes: thero has iiucr been a cato of suicido
wheio tho operator was not either demented,
mid therefore Irresponsible, or an inlldel. 1
ehalleugo all tho uges, mid 1 challenge tho
w hole universe. Thero never has been a caso
of self destruction while, in full appreciation
of his Immortality and ot tho fact that that
immortality would lie glorious n.' wretched
according as ho uccepted Jcaiis Christ or lo-J.s-'ted
him.
You bay It is a bus nes.s trouble, or you say
it U eli'Ctlieal currents, or it is tbi, or it is
tli-t, oi it U tho other thing. Why not go
clear luck, my friend, nud acknowledge that
lu eveiy caso it is thu abdication of icason or
tho teaching of Inlldelity which practically
utys: "If you don't like this lifo get out of
it, and jou will l.uul either lu nuuihilrition,
where thero nro no notes to pay, no persecu
tions to s'uircr, uo gout to torment, or you will
laud where thero will bo everything glorious
cud nothing to pay for It." Infidelity always
has been iqujlogetic for self immolation. After
Tern l'nluo's "Ago of Iteasou" wus published
mid widely tend thero wus n marked increase
of self slaughter.
A man iu Loudon heard Mr. Owen deliver
