Kevelatitwi viii, 10-11: "There fell
n great star from heaven, burning a.3 it
were a Limp, and it fell upon tho third
part of tho rivers, and upon the fountains
of waters; and lliu nanio of tho star is
called Wormwood."
Patrick and Ivth, Thomas Scott,
Matthew Henry, AlUrt liames and all
tho other commentators areo in raying
that the star Wormwocl of my text was
Atlila, Ling of tho Huns. Ilo was so
called becau.se bo was brilliant as a star,
and. l!ko wormwood, ho embittered
everything ho touched. Wo have htudied
the star of Methlehem, and tho morning
star of tho revelation, and tho sdar of
peace, but my subj-ct this hour calls us
to gaze at tho star Wormwood, and my
theme might bo called Brilliant Bitter
ness. A moro extraordinary character his
tory does not furnish than this man re
ferred to in my text Attila, tho Ling of
tho Huns. One day a wounded heifer
Ciiino limping along through tho lields,
ond a herdsman followed its blixxly track
on the grass to see where tho heifer was
wounded, and went on back, further and
further, until he came to a sword fast in
the earth, the jKint downward as though
it. had dropped from tho heavens, and
ngaint;t the edges of this sword the heifer
had leen cut. Tho herdsman pulled up
that sword and presented it to Attila,
Attila said that sword lintt havo
dropped from the heavens from the
grasp of tho god Mars, and its beinc;
given to hint meant that Attila should
conrjuer and govern tho whole earth.
Other might men have leon delighted
at being called liberators or tho Merciful
or the (Jood. but Attila called himself
and demanded that others call him the
Scourge of God. At the head of 700.000
troops, mounted on Cappadocian horses,
he swept everything from tho Adriatic
to tho Black sea. lie put his iron heel
on Macedonia and Greeco and Thrace,
lie made Milan and Pa via ami Padua
and Verona beg for mercy, which he
bestowed not. The Byzantine castles to
meet his ruinous levy, put up at auction
massive 6ilver tables and vases of solid
gold. A city captured by him, tho in
habitants were brought out, and put into
three classes: Tho first class, those who
could bear arms, who must immediately
enlist under Attila or bo butchered; tho
second class, the beautiful women, who
were mado captives to the Huns; tho
third class, tho aged men and women,
who were roblxjd of everything, and let
go back to the city to pay heavy tax.
It was a common saying that tho grass
never grew again where the hoof of At
tila's horse had trod. His armies reddened
the waters of the Seine and the Moselle
and the Khine with carnage, and fought
on the Catalonian plains the fiercest battle
since the world stood, 800,000 dead left
on the field. On and on until r.ll those
who could not oppose him with arms lay
prostrate on their faces in prayer and, a
cloud of dut teen in the distance, a
bishop cried: "It is tho aid of God;" and
till tho people took up the cry: "It is the
aid of God." As the cloud of dust
was blown aido tho banners of
re-enforcing armies marched in to
help against Attila, the scourge of God.
The most unimportant occurrence he
used as a supernatural resource, and after
three months of failure to capture tho
city of Aquileia and his army had given
up the eiege, the flight of a stork and
her young from the tower of tho city
was taken by him a3 a sign that he waa
to capture the city, and his army, in
spired with the same occurrence, re
sumed the siege and took the walls at a
point from which the stork had emerged.
ilo brilliant was tho conqueror in attire
that bis cnemiC3 could not look at him,
but shaded their eyes or turned their
heads.
Shun on tho evening of his marriage by
his bride Ildico, who was hired for tho
assassination, his followers bewailed him
not with tears but with blood, cutting
themselves with knives and lances. Ho
was put into three codns, the rliv t of iron,
the second of silver, and the third of gold.
He was buried by night and into his grave
were poured the most valuable coin and
precious stones, amounting to the wealth
of a kingdom. The grave diggers and ail
tho?e who assisted at the burial were
massacred so that it would never bs
known whero so much wealth was en
tombed. The Roman empire conquered
the world but Attila conquered the Roman
empire. He was right in calling
himself a scourge, but instead of
being the scourge of God, he v.-ri
the scourge of hell. Because of
Lis brilliancy and bitterness the commen
tators were right in believing him to bo
the star Wormwood of tho text. As the
regions ho devastated were parts ino?t
opulent with fountains and streams and
rivers, you see how graphic my text is:
"There fell a great star from heaven,
burning as it were a lamp, and it fell
upon the third part of the rivers, and
upon the fountains of waters; and tho
mme of tho star is called Wormwood."
Have you ever thought how many em
Littered lives there are all about us, mis
anthropic, morbid, acrid, saturnine? Tho
European plant from which worm wool
is extracted, Artemisia Absithiuni, is a
perennial plant, and all tho year round it
is ready to exude its oil. And in many
human livc3 there is a perennial distilkv
tion of acrid experiences. Yea, there ai-e
lome whoso whole work is to shed a bale
ful Influenca on others. Tliere tiro Atti
las of tho home,' or Attilaa of the social
tiiclo, or Attilae of the church, or Atti
laa of tho state, and one-third of tho
waters of all the world, if not two
thirds tho waters, are poisoned by tho
falling of the star Wormwood. It Is not
complimentary to human naturo that
most men, a3 soon as they get great
power, becomo overbearing. Tho uiore
power men have tho better, if their
power bo used for good. Tho less power
men have Jdip Letter, if they uso it for
cviL
Birds circlo round and round and
round before they swoop down upon that
which they aro aiming for. And if my
discourse so far has been swinging round
and round, this moment it drops straight
on your heart and asks the question: 13
your life to others a benediction or an
embitterment, a blessing or a cutse, a
balsam or a wormwood?
Some of you, I know, are morning
i tar.s, and you are making the dawning
life of your children bright with gracious
LdliK noos, and you are learning upon all
tho opening enterprises of philanthropic
and Christian endeavor, and you are her
alds of that day of gospelization which
will yet Hood all tho mountains and val
leys of our sin cursed earth. Hail, morn
ing star! Keep on shining with encour
agement and Christian hope.
Some of you aro evening star3. and
you aro cheering the last days of old
people, and though a cloud sometimes
comes over you through tho querulous
ne.s or unreasonableness of your old
r and mother, it is only for u mo
ment, and the star soon comes out ch'at
again and is seen from all tho balconies
of the neigh! orhK)l. The old lieople
will forgive your occasional shortcom
ings, for they themselves several times
Lst th'-ir patience with you when ou
were young and slapped you when you
did not deserve it. Hail, evening star!
Hang on tho darkening sky your diamond
coronet.
But are any of you the star Worm
wood? Do you scold and growl from the
thrones paternal or maternal? Are your
children everlastingly pecked at? Are
you always crying: 'Hush!" to the
merry voices and swift feet and their
laughter, which occasionally trickles
through at wrong times and is suppressed
Ly them until they can hold it no longer
and all the barriers burtt into unlimited
guffaw and cachinnation, as in high
we.it her the water has trickled through
a slight opening in tho mill dam but af
terward makes wider and wider breach
until it carries all before it with
irresistible freshet. Do not be
too much olfendoil at tho noise
your children now make. It will bo
Ktiil enough when one of them is dead.
Then you would give jour right hand to
hear cno shout from their silent voices
or one step from tho still foot. You will
not any of you havo to wait very long
beforo your house is 6til!er than you
want it. Alas that there are so many
homes not known to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, where
children are put on the limits and
whacked and cuffed and ear pulled and
senselessly called to order and answered
sharp and suppressed until it is a
wonder that under such processes they
do not all turn out Modocs and Nana
Sahibs.
What is your influence upon the neigh
borhood, the town, or the city of your
residence?
I will suppose that you aro a star of
wit. What kind of rays do you shoot
forth? Do you use that splendid faculty
to irradiate the world, or to rankle it? I
I iloss all the apostolic college of humor
ists. Tho man that makes mo laugh is
my benefactor. I do not thank anybody
to make me cry. I can do that without
any assistance. We all cry enough and
hive enough to cry about. God bless all
skillful punsters, all reparteeist.s. all
propounded of ingenious conundrums,
all those who mirtlrfully surprise us with
unusual juxtaposition of words. Thomas
lioo.l and Charles Lamb and Sidney
Smith had a divine mission and so have
their successors in these times. They stir
into tho acid beverage cf life the saccha
rine. They make tho cup of earthly
existence, which is sometimes 6tale,
elTervesce and bubble. They placate ani
mosities. They foster longevity. They slay
follies and absurdities which all tho ser
mons of all the pulpits cannot reach.
They have for examples Elijah, who
mado fun of the Baalites when they
called' down fire and it did not come,
suggesting that their heathen god had
gone hunting or was off on a journey, or
was asleep and nothing but vociferation
could wake him, saying: "Cry alou'd, for
he is a god; cither he is talking or pursu
ing; or peradventure ho sleepeth and
must bo awaked." They have an ex
ample in Christ, who with healthful
sarcasm showed up the lying, hypocriti
cal Pharisees by suggesting that such per
fect people like themselves needed no im
provements, saying: "Tho wholo need
not a physician but they that are sick."
But what use are you making of your
wit? Is it besmirched with profanity
and uncleanness? Do you employ it in
amusement at physical defects for which
the victims are not responsible? Are
your powers of mimicry used to put re
ligion in contempt? Is it a fcunch of net
tlesome invectives? Is it a bolt of unjust
scorn? I3 it fun at other's misfortune?
Is it glee at their disappointment and de
feat? I3 it bitterness put drop by drop
into a cup? Is it like the squeezing of
Artemisia Absinthium into a draught al
ready distastefully pungent? Then you
are the star Wormwood. Yours is the
fun of a rattlesnake trying how well it
can sting. It is the fun of a hawk try
ing how quick it can strike out tho eye
of a dove.
But I will change this and I will sup
pose you are a star of worldly prosperity.
Then you have large opportunity. You
can encourage that artist by buying his
picture. You can improve the fields, tho
stables, tho highway, by introducing
higher style of fowl and horse and cow
and sheep. You can bless the world
with penological achievement in the or
chards. You can advance aboriculturo
and arrest this deathful ieonoclasm of the
American forests. You can put a piece
of sculpture into the niche of that public
academy. You can endow n college.
You can stocking a thousand bare feet
from tho winter frost. You can build a
church. You can put a missionary of
Christ on that foreign shore. You can
help ransom a world. A rich man with
bw hf;irt ribt rail vo'.l tell mo how
much good a Jame3 Lennox or a George j
reabody or a Peter Cooper or a wniiam
E. Lkxlge did while living or is doing
how that be U dead? There is not a city,
town or neighborhood that has not
glorious specimens of consecrated wealth.
But suppose you grind tho face of the
poor. Suppose when a man's wages are
duo you make liim wait for them be
cause ho cannot help himself. Suppose
that because his family is 6ick and he
has hud extra expenses he should politely
ask you to raise bis wages for this year
and you roughly tell him if ho wants a
better place to go and get it. Suppose
by your manner you act as though he
wore nothing and you were everytliing.
Suppose you are selfish and overbearing
and arrogant. Your first name ought tc
lo Attila and your last name Attila,
because you are the star Wormwood,
and you have embittered one-third, if not
three-thirds, of tho waters that roll past
your employes and ojieratives and de
jKMidcnts and associates, and the long
lino of carriages which the undertaker
orders for your funeral in order to make
the occasion respectable, will bo filled
with twice as many dry, tearless eyes as
there are ersons occupying them. The
clumsy pall learera may make tho gates
of your 6cpulcher quake by striking your
silver handled collin against them, but
tho world will feel no jar as you go out
of it.
There is an erroneous idea abroad that
there aro only a few geniuses. There are
millions of them; that is, men and
women who havo especial adaptation and
quickness for some one thing. It may
bo great, it may be small. The circle
may le like tho circumference of the
earth or 110 larger than a thimble. There
aro thousands of geniuses hero this morn
ing and in some one thing 3011 are a
star. What kind of a star are you?
You will be in this world but a few
minutes. As compared with eternity
the stay of the longest life on
earth is not more than a minute. What
are wo doing with that minute? Aro we
embittering the domestic or social or
political fountains, or are we like Moses,
who, when the Israelites in tho wilder
ness complained that the waters of Lake
Marah were bitter and they could not
drink them, their leader cut off the
branch of a certain tree and throw that
branch into the water, and it became
sweet and slaked the thirst of the suffer
ing host? Are we with a branch of the
Tree of Life sweetening all the brackish
fountains that we can touch? Dear Lord,
send U3 all out on thy mission. All
around us embittered Uves, embittered
by persecution, embittered by hypereriii
cism, embittered by poverty, embittered
by pain, embittered by injustice, embit
tered by sin. Why not go forth and
sweeten them by smile, by inspiring
words, by benefactions, by hearty coun
sel, by praj'er, by gospelized behavior.
Let us remember that if we are worm
wood to others we are wormwood to our
selves, and our life will be bitter and our
eternity bitter. The gospel of Jesus
Christ is tho only sweetening power that
is sufficient. It sweetens tho disposition.
It sweetens tho manners. It sweetens
life. It sweetens mysterious Provi
dences. It sweetens afflictions. ' It
sweetens death. It sweetens every
tliing. I have- heard people asked
in social company: "If you could
have three wishes gratified what would
your three wishes be?" If I could have
three wishes met this morning I tell you
what they would be. First: More of the
grace of God. Second: More of the
grace of God. Third: More of the grace
of God. In the door yard of my brother
John, missionary in Amoy, China, there
is a tree called the emperor tree, the two
characteristics of which are that it al
ways grows higher than its surroundings
and its leaves take tho form of
a crown. If this emperor treo be
planted by a rose bush it grows a little
higher than the bush, and spreads out
above it a crown. If it be planted by
the side of another tree, it grows a Utile
higher than tliat tree and spreads above
it a crown. Would God that this religion
of Christ, a moro wonderful emperor
tree, might overshadow all young lives;
are you lowly in ambition or circum
stance, putting over you it3 crown ; are
you high in talent and position, putting
over you its crown. Oh, for more of the
saccharine in our lives and lcs3 of tho
wormwood 1
What is true of individuals is true of
nations. God sets them up to revolve as
stars, but they may fall wormwood.
Tyre the atmosphere of the desert
fragrant with spices coming in caravans
to her fairs; all seas cleft into foam by
the keels of her laden merchantmen; her
markets rich with horses and camel. ;
from Togarrnan, her 'bazars filled with
upholstery from Dodan, with emeralds
and coral and agata from Syria, with
wines from Ilelbon, with embroidered
work from Ashur and Cliilmad. Whore
now the gleam of her towers, where the
roar of her chariots, where tho masts of
her 6hips? Let the fishermen who dry
their nets whero once she stood, let the
sea that rushes upon tho barrenness
where once she challenged the admira
tion of all nations, let the barbarians who
set their rude tents where once her
palaces glittered, answer the question.
She was a 6tar, but by her own sin
turned to wormwood and has fallen.
Hundred-gated Thebes for all time to
be the study of antiquarian and hiero
glyphist; her stupendous ruins spread
over twenty-seven miles; her sculptures
presenting in figures of warrior and
chariot tho victories with which the now
forgotten kings of Egypt shook the
nations; her obelisks and columns; Car
uac and Luxor, the stupendous temples of
her pride. Who can imagine the great
ness of Thebes in those days when tho hip
podrome rang with her sports and foreign
royalty bowed at her shrines and her
avenues roared with the wheels cf pro
cessions in the wake of returning con
querors? What dashed down the vision
of chariots and temples and thrones?
What hands pulled upon the columns of
her glory? What ruthlessness defaced
her sculptured wall and broke obelisks
and left her indescribable temples
great skeletons of granite? What
spirit of destruction spread the
lair of wild beasts in her royal sepulchers,
and tauiit the miserable cottagers of to
day to build huts in the courts of her
temples, and sent desolation and ruin
skulking behind tho obelisks and dodging
among the sarcophagi and leaning
against the columns and stooping under
the arches and weeping in tho waters
which go mournfully, by as though tkey
vere carrying tho tears of all ages?
Let
tho mummies break their long silence
nud come tip to shiver in the desolation,
und iioint to fallen gates and shattered
statues and defaced sculpture, respond
ing: "Theles built not one templo t
GoL Thcljcs haled righloous.ie.-j and
love! sin. Thelws was a star but she
turned to wormwood and has fallen."
Babylon, with her 200 towers and her
brazen gates and her embattled walls,
the splendor of tho earth gathered within
her palaces, her hanging gardens built
by Nebuchadnezzar to please Ins bride
Amyittis,' who had lieeu brought up in a
mountainous country and could not en-,
dure the flat country round Babylon,
these hanging gardens built, terrace
above terrace, till at the height of 400
feet there were woods waving and foun
tains playing, the verdure, the foliage,
tho-glory looking ns if a mountain were
on the wing. On the tip top a king
walking with his queen, among statues
snowy white, looking up at birds
brought from distant lands, and
drinking out of tankarcLi of solid
gold, or looking off over rivers
and lakes upon nations suhdued and
tributary, crying: "Is not this great
Babylon which I have built?" What bat
tering ram smote the walls? What plow
share upturned the gardens? What army
shattered the brazen gates? What long,
fierce blast of storm put out this light
which illumined the world? What crat.h
of discord drove down the music that
poured from palace window and garden
grove and called the banqueters to their
revel and the dancers to their feet? I
walk upon the scene of desolation to find
an answer and pick up pieces of bitunun
and brick and broken pottery, the re
mains of Babylon, and., as in tho silence
of tho night I hear the surging of that
billow of desolation which rolls over tho
scene, I hear the wild waves saying:
"Babylon was proud. Babylon was im
pure. Babylon was a star, but by f in
she turned to wormwood and has fallen."
From the persecutions of the Pilgrim
fathers and the Huguenots in other lands
God set upon these shores a nation. The
council fires of the aborigines went out
in tho greater light of a free govern
ment. The sound of tho war whoop was
exchanged for tho thousand wheels of
enterprise and progress. Tho mild win
ters, the fruitful summers, tho healthful
skies charmed frcm other lands a race of
hardy men who loved God and wanted
to be free. Beforo tho woodman's ax
forests fell and rose again into ships'
mats and churches' pillars. Ciries on
tho bank of lakes begin to rival cities by
tho sea. Tho land quakes with the
rush of the rail car and the
waters are churned white with tin1
steamer's wheel. Fabulous bushels of
western wheat meet on the way fabulous
ton3 of e:stern cord. Furs from the
north pass on the rivers fruits from the
south. And trading in the sarin' market
is Maine lumberman and South Carolina
rice merchant and Ohio farmer and
Alaska fur dealer. And churches and
schools and asylums scatter light and
lovo and mercy and salvation upon sixty
millions of people.
I pray that oar nation may not copy
tho crimes of the nations that have
perished, raid our cup of blessing turn to
wormwood and like them we go down
I am by nature and by grace an optimist,
and I expect that this country wiil con
tinue to advance until the world shall put
on millennial era, and that when Christ
comes again ho will set his throne some
where between the Alleghanies and the
Sierra Nevadas. But bo not deceived !
Our only safety is in righteousness lowaiv
God and justice toward man. If we for
get tho goodness of the Lord ' to this
land and break his Sabbaths and im
prove not by the dire disasters th;;t
have again and again come to tie
as a people, and we learn saving
lesson neither from civil war nor raging
epidemic, nor drought, nor mildew, nor
scourge of locust and grasshopper, if the
pobtical corruption which has poisoned
the fountains of public virtue, and Le
slirued tho high places of authority,
making free Kovernmer.t at times a
hissing and a byword in all the earth, if
the drunkenness and licentiousness that
6tagger and blaspheme in the streets of
our great cities, as though they were
rcacliing after the fame of a Corinth and
a Sodom, are not repented of, we
will yet see tho smoke of our nation's
ruin; the pillars of our national and state
capitals will fall more disastrously than
when Sampson pulled down Dagon; and
future historians will record upon the
page bedewed with generous tears the
story that tho free nation of the west
arose in splendor which made the world
stare. It had magnificent possibilities.
It forgot God. It hated justice. It
hugged its crime. It halted on its high
march. It reeled under the blow of ca
lamity. It foil. And as it was going
down all tho despotisms of earth, from
the top of bloody thrones, began to shout:
"Aha, so would we have it," while strug
gling and oppressed peoples looked out
from dungeon bars with tears and groans
and cries of untold agony, the scorn of
those and the woe of these uniting in the
exclamation: "Look yonder! There fell
a great star from heaven, burning as it
were a lamp, and it tsU upon tho third
part of the rivers and upon the fountains
of waters; and the nanio of the star is
called YvormwoodI"
Do Oar Authors AVeei'?
T. B. Aldrich does not weep or aspire
to invoke tears in others. Mrs. Burnett
says she is always moved by what movc3
others. Mark Twain tliinks he weeps,
and ho probably does in his way. Ed
ward Everett Hale is inclined to make
light of the inquiry and would like to
hear from others on the subject. Miss
Amclie Rives, the latest American
genius, has wept copiously wlolo writ
