At tho tnbcrnoclo to day tho Itov T Do Witt Taliuagc, D. D., preached a sermon appropriate to thu com. tag centennial. Tho vast congregation wing tho hymn beginning Before Jehorah's awful throne, Yo nation bow wltunacrvd Jojr Or Talmngo'i toxt was II King vl, l?i "And tho Lord opened tho oyci of tho young man; ami ho awi and, behold, tho mountain was (till of horse and chnrlotH of tiro round about Ellsha. " lie unldt As Itcost Kuglandmany regiments and two million dollars a year to keep safely 11 trouble omocaptivo at St, Helena, so tho king of Syria sends out a wliolo army to capture ono minister of religion perhnps CO.OUO men to tako Ellsha. During tho night tho army of Assyrians camo around tho village of Dotlian, whero tho prophet was staying. At early daybreak tho man servant of Ellshn rushed in and soldi "What shall wo dol thero is a wholo army corno to destroy you. Wo must dlo, wo must die," Hut Ellsha was aot scored a bit, for ho looked up and saw tho mountains nil around full of super, natural forces, and ho know that if thero wcro 00,000 Assyrians ngnlnst him thero wcro 100,000 angels for him, and In answer to tho prophet's prayer in behalf of his affrighted man servant, tho young man lav it too. Horses of lire harnessed to char iots of fire, and drivers of lira pulling reins of flro on bits of flro, mid warriors of flro with brandished sword of lire, and tho brill iance of that morning sunrlso was eclipsed by tho galloping splendors of tho celestial Cavalcade. "And tho Ijord opened tho eyes of tho young man; mid ho sawt ami, behold, tho mountain was full of horses and chariots of flro round nbout Ellsha." I Imvo often spoken to you of tho Assyrian perils which threaten our American Institutions, but now as wo nro assembling to keep centennial cele bration of tho Inauguration of Washington, I speak of tho upjier forces of tho text that aro to fight on our sido. If all tho low levels are filled witli armed threats, I havo to tell you that tho mountains of our hope and coin ago and faith nro full of tho horses ami char iots of Divluo rescue. ALLEUOUY OP THE CI1AUIOT OP FIIIK. You will notico that tho Divino cqulpnRo is always represented as chariot of lire. Ezo klo) and Isaiah and John, wheu they como to describe tho Divluo cqulpago, always repre sent it as a wheeled, a harnessed, an uphol stered coullagratiou. It U not u chariot like kings ami conquerors of earth mount, butnu organized and ncomprcsscd lira That means purity, justice, chastisement, deliverance through burning escapes. Chariot of rescue I yes, but chariot of lira AH our national dlscnthralliucntshavo been through scorching agonies nud red disasters. Through tribu lation tho individual rises. Through tribu lation nations rise Chariots of rescue, but chariots of fire. But how do I know that this Divluo cqul pago isonthesidoof our institutions! I know it by tho history of tho last ono hundred and eight years. Tho American revolution start ed from tho pen of John Hancock, in Inde pendence hall, lu 1770. Tho colonics without ships, without ammunition, without guns, without trained warrior, without money, without prestige. On the other sido, tho mightiest nation of tho earth, tho largest armies and tho grandest navies mid tho most distinguished commanders, and resources in exhaustible, and nearly all nations ready to back them up lu tho light. Nothing asugainst immensity. Tho causa of the American colonics, which started at zero, dropped still lower through tho quarreling of tho generals, and through tho jealousies at small successes, and through tho winters which surpassed all their prede cessors In depth of snow and horrors of con goalmcnt, Ellsha, burrounded by tho wholo Assyrian army, did not seem to bo worso olT than did tho thirteen colonies encompassed and overshadowed by foreign assault. What decided tho contest in our fuvorf Tho upper forces, tho upper armies. Tho green and white mountains of Now England, tho high lands along thu Hudson, tho mountains of Virginia, all tho Appalachian ranges were full of re-eiiforcuinentH which thu young man Washington saw by faith, and his men endured tho frozen feet, and tho gun groned wounds, nud tho exhausting hun ger, and tho long march becauso "tho Lord opened tho eyes of tho young man, nud ho saw; and, behold, tho mountains wcro full of horses mid chariots of llro round nbout Ellsha." Washington himself was a mira cle. What Joshua was lu sacrod history tho first American president was iu secular his tory. A thousand other men excelled him In different things, but ho excelled them till iu roundness and completeness of character. Tho world never saw his llko, and probably novcr will 600 his liko again, becauso thero probably never will bo another such exi gency. Ho was let down a Divino interposi tion. Ho was from God direct, I do not know how any man cau read tho history of tboso times without admitting that tho contest was decided by tho upper forces. TUB BIQNIFICANCE OP THE CIVIL WAIU Then lu 1801, when our civil war opened, many at tho north and at tho south pro nouueod it national sulcido. It was not cour age against cowardice. It was not wealth against ovcrty, it was not largo states against small states. It was heroism against heroism, it wan tho resources of many gener ations against tho resources of many gener ations, it was tlia prayer of tho north against tho prayer of tho south, It was one-half of tho nation In armed wruth meeting tho other half of tho nation iu armed indignation. What could ciiiiie but extermination At the oK.'iiiug of tho war tho commander-in-chief of the United Btutes forces was a man who hud been great iu battlo, but old ago had come with many infirmities, and ho had a 'right to qulotudo. Ho could not mount n liorso, uud Ifo rodo on tho battlo field iu n carriage, asking tho driver not to jolt it too much. During tho most of tho four years of tho contest, on tho southern side was u man lu mid-life, who had iu his veins tho blood of many genera tions of wurriors, himself ono of tho heroes of Cherubusro n!d Cerro Uorda, Coutreras and Chupultepec As tho years passed on and tho scroll of carnage unrolled, thero camo out from IkHIi sides a heroism and a strength uud a determination that tho world had never seen marshaled. And what but extermination could como when Philip Bneri dan and BUmewall Jurlibou met, and Nathan iel Lyon und'tiiduuy Johnston rodo lu from north and touth, nud Grant and l.v, tho two thunderbolts of battle, clashed ( Yet wo aro a nation, and yul we are atpcuco. Earthly oourago did not dccldu tho conflict, Tho up per forces of the text. They tell us thero wus a buttle (ought abovo tho clouds on Lookout mountain, but thero was something higher than that. Agulu tho horses and chariots of God camo to thu rescuo of this nation iu IST0, at tho closu of n presidential election famous for devilish ferocity. A darker cloud yet settled down upon this nation. The result of tho election was lu dUputo, nud revolution, not between two or three section, but revolution lu every towu and vlllngo nud city of tho tho United States, teemed Imminent, Tho prospect, w ns that Now York would throttle Now York, and Now Orleans would grip New Orleans, nnd Boston, I lot ton, and Buvunnah, Savnunnh, nud Washington, Washington. Somo said Mr. Tildeu was elected; others said Mr. Hayes was elected, and how near we enmo to universal maowcro somo of us gucsHod, but God only know. I ascrilw our cscapo not to tho hon esty and righteousness of Infuriated politicians, but I ascribe It to tho upper forces of tho text. Chariots of ineruy rolled lu, and though the wheels wcro not heard nnd tho flash wus not seen, yet all through tho mountains of tho north and thn south nud tho east nud tho west, though tho hoofs did not clatter, tho 'avatry of God galloped by. 1 tell you God is the friend of tills nation. In tho awful excitement nt tho massacre of Lin coln, when thero was n prospect that greater slaughter would open Uion this nation, God hiuhod tho toinptwt. In tho awful excitement nt tho tlmo of Garfield's assassination, God put his foot on tho nock of tho cyclone. TUB RI'I.F.M)II CONDITION OP TIIK UNITKl) BTATKS. To prove that God is on tho sido of this na tion, I nrguo from thu last eight or ulno great national harvests, and from tho national health of the hut quarter of a century epi demics very exceptional nnd from the great revival of religion, and from tho spreading of tho Church of God, nud from tho continent blossoming with asylums and reformatory In stitutions, and from nu Indenization which promises that this wholo laud is to 1m n I'ara dlso whero God shall walk In tho cool of tho day. If lu other sermous I showed you what was tho ovll that threatened to upset nud demol ish American Institutions, 1 am encouraged more than 1 can tell you us I sou tho regi ments wheeling down tho sky, nud my Jere miads turn Into doxologios, nud that which was tho Good Friday of tho nation's crucifix ion becomes tho Easter morn of Its resurrec tion. Of course God works through human Instrumentalities, and this national better ment Is to como among other things through a scrutinized ballot box. Hy the law of reg istration It is almost Impossible now to havo Illegal voting. Thero wns a tlmo you and 1 remember It very well when droves of vagabonds wandered up nud down on election day and from poll to poll, and voted hero nnd voted there, and voted everywhere, and thero was uochallengo; or, If thero were, It amounted to nothing, bo cuuso nothing could so suddenly bo proved uKu tho vagabonds. Now, in every well organized neighborhood, ovory voter is watched with severest scrutiny. 1 must tell tho registrar my name, and how old 1 am, nud how long I have resided iu the state, and how long I havo re sided In. tho ward or township, nnd If I mis represent llfty witnesses will rlsoaml shut mo out from tho ballot box. Is not that a great advance! And then notico tho law that pro hiblts a man voting if ho has bet on tho elec tion. A step further needs to bo taken and that man forbidden a vote who has offered or taken n bribe, whether it bo iu tho shapo of a free drink or cash jwid down, tho suspicious coses obliged to put their hand on tho Hlblo and sweur their voto in if thoy voto at all. So through tho sacred chest of our nation's suffrago redemption will come. God also will savo this nation through nu aroused moral sentiment. Thero has never been so much discusslou of morals uud (tu morals. Men, whether or uot thoy acknowl edge what Is right, havo to think what Is right Wo havo men who havo had tholr hands in tho publlo treasury the most of tholr lifetime, stealing nil thoy could lay their hands on, discoursing eloquently nlout dis honesty iu publlcscrvauts, and men with two or three families of their own, preaching elo quently atiout tho beauties of tho seventh commandment. Tho question of sobriety and drunkenness is thrust in tho face of this nation as never before, nnd to tako n part iu our political contests. Tho question of na tional bobriety is going to bo respectfully nnd doferejitially heard at the bar of every legis lature uud every house of representatives uud every United States Semite, and an om nipotent voice will ring down tho sky ami across this land and back again, saying to theso rising tides of drunkenness which threaten to whelm homo ami church mid na tion: "Thus fur slialt thou come, but no fur ther, nud hero shall thy proud waves Ixi stayed." I havo not lu my mind a shadow of dis hcartenmeut as largo ns tho shadow of a house tly's wing. My faith Is iu tho upper forces, tho upper armies of tho text. God Is not deed, Tho chariots aro not unwheeled. If you would only pray more and wash your eyes in tho cool, bright water, fresh from tho well of Christian reform, it would bo said of you ns of tills ono of tho text: "Tho Lord opened tho eyes of tho young man; und ho saw: and, behold, tho mouutalu was full of horses nud chariots of flro round about Ellsha." THE AUMY AUUAYKU AOAINHT TIIK UAUNK OP tJOMlIKTY. When tho nrmy of Autlgonus went into battlo his soldiers were very much discour aged, and thoy rushed up to tho general and said to him: "Don't you seo wo liavo u few forces und they havo w many morel" nud tho soldiers were affrighted at tho smallnes of their number ami tho greatuossof the enemy. Autlgonus, their commander, straightened himself up and said, with Indignation and vehemence: "How many do you reckon mo to bo?" And when wo seo tho vnst armies arrayed against tho causo of sobriety It may sometimes bo very discouraging, but I ask you lu making up your estimate of tho forces of righteousness I ask you how many do you reckon tho ixird God Almighty to bof Ho is our commander. Tho Lord of Hosts is his name. 1 havo tho best authority for saying that tho chariots of God are twenty thousand, uud tho mountains aro full of them. You will tako w ithout my buying it that my only faith is in Christianity and In tho upper forces suggested In tho toxt. Political parties como anil go, and thoy may Imj right nud thoy may bo wrong; but God lives, and 1 think ho has ordained this nation for n career of prosperity that no demagoglsin will 1m able to halt, 1 expect to llvu to seo a political party which will havo n platform of two planks tho Ten Commandments and tho Sermon on tho Mouut, When that party is formed It will sweep across this land, llko a tornado 1 was going to say, but when I think It Is uot to bo devastation, but resuscitation, I change tho figure und say, such a jurty as that will sweep across this land llko spico gales from heaven. Havo you any doubt about tho need of tho Christian religion to purify nud make decent American oliticsf At ovory yearly or quad reuulul election wo havo in this country great manufactories, manufactories of lies, and thoy nro run day and night, and thoy turn out half u dozen u day all equipped ami ready for full sailing. Iirgs lies ami small lies. Lies private and lies publlo and lies prurient. Lies cut bhu and lies cut diagonal. Iuig limited lies and lies with double buck action. Lies complimentary and lies defamatory. Lies that some people believe, and lies that all tho KHiplu believe, and lies that nobody believes. Lies with bumps like camels and scale llko crocodiles and necks ns long at storks nnd feet ni swift ns nil nntelopo's ami stings llko nddrrs. Lies raw mid walloped and panned and stowed. Crawling lies nnd Jumping lies nnd soaring lies. Lies with at tachment screws nnd ruflleni nnd braiders ami ready wound boblxMH. Dim by Chris tian copl who never lie except during elec tions, nnd lies by people who always lie, but bent themselves In u presidential canivilgn. 1 confess I urn ashamed to havo u foreigner visit this country in such times, t should think ho would stand dared, Ids hand on his pockctbook, nnd daro not go out ulghbd What will tho hundred of thousands of for eigners who como hereto live think of tint What n disgust they must havo for thu laud of tholr adoption I Tho only good thing about it Is, many of them cannot understand tho English language. Hut I suppose tho German, and Italian, nud Swedish, nud Preach lepers translate It nil nud pcddlo out tho infernal stuff to their suWrllK'r. THE O.NK HKMKDV POll A UltKAT BVII. Nothing but Christianity will ever stop such n flood of Indecency. The Christian re ligion w III speak after n while. Tho billings gate and tow scandal through which wo wado every year or every four years, must be ro buked by that religion which speak from Its two great mountains, from tho ono mountain intoning the command, "Thou shnlt uot benr fulse witness against thy nolghlor,"niid from tho other mount making plea for klncln-s nud love nud blessing rather than cursing. Yes, wo aru going to havo a national religion, There nro two kinds of national religion, Tho ono is suportcd by the state, nud Is a matter of human (toUtlcs, ami it has great patronage, und under It men will struggle for prominence without refereneo toquullll cations, and its archbishop Is support! by a salary of $75,000 n year, uud there nro great cathedrals, with nil tho machinery of music nud canonicals, nnd room for u thousand Kxplo, yet nu utidlencu of llfty ooplo or twenty ooplo or ten or two. Wo want no such religion as that, no such national religion; but wo waul this kind of national religion i the vast majority of tho. IK-oplo convert"! mid evangelized, and then thoy will uiiiungo tho scarf. ir nswell ns the regions. Do you say that this Is lnipractlcuhlol No. Tho tlmo Is coining just ns certainly as there is a God uud that this is Ids hook and that ho has the strength nud the honesty to fulfill his promises. Olio of thu ancient enierors used to prido himself on ierformiug that which his counselor! said was Impossible, and I havo to tell Jim today that man's IiiiikissIL'ss nro God's easics. "I lath ho said and shall ho not doltl Hath ho commanded nud will ho not bring It to jwissT' Thu Christian religion Is coming to tako possession of every ballot box, of overy school house, of every home, of every vnlloy, of overy mountain, of every ncro of our national domain. This nation, notwith standing all thoevll influences thataro trying to destroy It, Is going to live. Novcr since, according to John Milton, when "Satan wits hurled headlong llamlng from thu ethereal skies in hideous ruin and combustion down," havo tho ikiwcw of dark ness been so determined to win this continent us thoy nro now.

Ah! it will not be long beforo It will not mako any difference to you or to mo what be comes of this continent, so funis earthly com fort Is concerned. All wo w III want of It will bo seven feel by threo, anil that will tako lu tho largest, und there will bo room nud lo spare.

OP SLOOKSTIVE.NKK.J Ono of the seven wonders of thu world was tho white marble watch tower of Pharos of I'-sypt- Sostrntus, tho architect and sculptor, after building that watch tower cut his name on it. Then ho covered It with plasterfn:;, and to pleuso the king ho put tho monarch's uamo ou the outside of tho plastering; uud tho storms beat, and tho seas dashed lu tin lr fury, and thoy washed off tho plastering, and thoy washed It out, and they washed it down, but tho nnmo of Sostrntus wus deep cut in tho lui)crishablo rock. So across tho face of this nation there havo been a grc-it many names written, across our financo., across our religious, names worthx of remembrance, nuiues written on the architecture of our churches, und our schools, and our asylums, nud our homes of mercy, but God is thonrchltect of this tiontlueut, uud lie was tho sculptor of all its grandeurs, nnd long after, through tho wmii of tho ages nud tho tcuicsU of centuries, nil other names shall bo obliterated, the divine signature and divluo iiaiuu will bo brighter nnd brighter ns tho millenniums go by, and tho world shall boo that tho God who made this continent has redeemed it by Ids grr.-e from all Its sorrows and from all Its crimes. Havo you faith In such u thing as that f After nil tho chariots have Ihvii unw heeled, and nftcr nil tlio war chargers havo Ix-en crippled, tho chariots which Ellsha saw on tho morning of hU eril will roll on lu tri umph, followed by nil tho armies of Iicummi ou white horses.
