1)r. Tahnage had expounded the. sarcasm
of Elijah at tho olTcring of tho llualitcs
lie Fjioko as follows:
Revelation viii. 10-11: "There Ml
n great btar from heaven, burning as it
were a lamp, ami it fell upon tho third
Iart of 1 1 m rivers, a nl iijou tho fountains
of waters; ami the namo of the fctar is
called Wormwood."
l'atrick ami Lowth, Thomas Scott,
Matthew Henry, Albert I lames ami all
tlie other commentators agree in saying
that the star Worm woo-1 of my text was
Attil.o, king of t!ie 1 Ilium, llo was to

the btar of l!ethlehein, and the morning
fctar of tho revelation, ami tho fctar of
I-aee. lut my subject tliis hour calls us
to Raze at the Mar Wormwood, and my
tlieme might he called Drilliant liitter
IietiS. A moro extraordinary character his
tory dn-s iKt furnish than this man re
ferred to in in v text Attila, the king of
the I Inns. One day a wounded heifer
came limping along through tho fields,
lin I a herdsman followed its bloody track
on the grass to see where tlie heifer was
wounded, and went on hack, further and
further, until ho came to a sword fast in
the earth, the point downward as though
it had dropped from the ln-aven. and
pgaiiist the edg-s if this .sword the heifer
l:ad lieen cut. The herdsman pulled up
t'.iat sword and pre-ented it to Attila.
Anil. i said that sword i:ii!-t have
dropjx.d from the heavens from the
grasp of the god Mars, and its leirii
given, to him meant that Attila i-houlJ
coiH'ii r and govern the whole earth.
Oilier mighty men have U-en delighted
at being called liberators or tho Merciful
or the ( ioo l.' hut Attii.i calkd himself
and demanded that others call him the
Scourge of (od. At the head of 700.00J
troops. mounted on ( 'appad eian horses,
lie swept everything from the Adriatic
to the .Mack fieri, lie put his iron heel
on Macedonia and Urn -co and Thrace,
lie made Milan and i'avia and Padua
and Verona U'g for mercy, which he
l,stowed not. The liyzautine ca.-tle.i to
xuoct his rmnons levy, put tip at auction
massive silver tables and vases of solid
gold. A city captured ly him, the i:i
liahitants were brought out, ami put into
tlirec classes: The lir.-t cla-s. those who
could hear arms, who iiiiiil immediately
enlist uuder Attila -r he butchered; tho
second class. tliL" beautiful women, who
were ma-lu caj'tives t; the Huns; tho
thml class, the atl men and women,
who were roblied of everything, fmd let
go back to the city to pay heavy tax.
k was a common saying that tho grac3
never grow 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 carrago, and fought
on the l.'iitalonian plains the fiercest battle
since tho world stxxl, 800.000 dead left
on the fieM. On and on until all those
who could not oppose hi:n with arms lay
Instniteo!i their faces in prayer and, a
cloud cf dust Been in the distance, a
liLshop criel: "It is the aid of God;" and
all the people took up the cry: "It is the
aid of God." As tho cloud of ilust
was Mown aside tho banners of
re-enforcing armie3 marched in to
help again-M Attila. the seourgo of God.
Tlie most uniinifortant occurrence he
used as a Fupei natural resource, and after
three months of failure to capture tho
city of Aquileia and his army had given
up the siege, the flight of a stork and
her young from Die tower of tho pity
was taken by him as a sign that ho was
to capture the city, and his ermrin-f-pired
with tlse same occurrence, re
sumed the siego and took the walls at a
i:it from which tho stork had emerged.
fc brilliant was the conqueror in attiro .
that his enemies could not look at hiui,
but shaded U-eir eyes or turned their
lioa-is.

Ids Tlli Il.lico, who was hired for tho
assassination, his followers bewailed him

tho world but Attila conquered tho l'oman

himself a scourge, but instead of
being the scourge of God, ho was
the scourge oi helL Bixrausa cf
l.is brilliancy and bitterness thecommon
t nors wire rig!-.t in U-Iieving him to le
the star Worm wood .f tho text. As th
regions I-.e devastated were iarts most
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 tho fountains of waters; a'il tho
name of the star is cu!!od Wormwood."
Have you ever thought how maiiyem
Littrrcd lives there are all about us. mis

which they are aiming for. And if my
dwrour.so so fjr h.is be-;! swinging round
ami round, this moment it drops straight
on j our lu art and asks the questicn: Is
your life to others a benediction or an
cmbitteinieiit, a blessing or a cuse, a
bal -am or a wormwo!?
Some of you, I know, aro morning
stars, and you are making tho dawning
life of your children bright with gracious
influences, ami you aro beaming iioii all
thu onii!g enterprises of philanthropic
and Christian endeavor, and you are her
alds of that day of gospclizaliou which
will yet flood all the mountains and val
leys of our t in cursed earth. Hail, morn
ing star! Keep on shining with encour
agement and Christian hope.
.S mie of you are evening stars, and
you are cheering the last days of old
jK-ople, and though a cloud sometimes
comes over you through the querulous-nc-vs
or unreasonableness of your old
father and mother, it is only for a mo
ment, and the star soon comes out cleat
again and is won from all tho balconies
of the noighliorhood. Tho old j?ople
will forgive your occasional shortcom
ings for they themselves several times
lost their patience with you when you
were young and slap;ed you when 3ou
did not deserve it. Hail, eveninc; star!
Hang on the darkening sky your diamond
coronet.
lhit aro any of you the star Worm
wood? Do you scold and growl from the
.thrones paternal or maternal? Aro 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 tiniesand is suppressed
by them untd they can hold it no longe r
and all the harriers buret into unlimited
guffaw and cachinnation, as in high
wether the water has trickled through
a sii'lit opening iri the mill dam but af

iiTi-sistlble freshet. Do not be
t:i i!i'i h olffinled at the noi.'e
your children now make. It will be
siiil enough when one of them is dead.
Then you would give your right hand to
hoar one shout from their sili nt voices
or one step from the still foot. You will

What is your influence upon the neigh-
o.: !:oju, me town, or me city ot vour
1 wiil suppose that you are a star cf
wit. What kind of rays do you shoot
forth? Do you use that splendid faculty
to irradiate the world, or to rankle it? I
blss all tho apostolic college of humor
ists. Tho man that makes me laugh is
my benefactor. I do not thank anybody
to make me cry. I can do that without
ar.y assistance. We all cry enough and
have enough to cry about. God bless all
skillful punsters, all reparteeiats, all
prcpounders of ingenious conundrums,
all those who mirthfully surprise us with
unusual juxtaposition of words. Thomas
Hood and Charles Lamb and Sidney
Smith had a divine mission and so have
their successors in these times. They stir
into the acid beverage of lifetho saccha
rine. They inako the cup of earthly
exi-tenco, which is sometimes stale,
effervesce and bubble. They placate ani
niositios. They foster longevitj. They slay
foilies and absurdities which all the ser
mons of all the pulpits cannot reach.
They have for examples Elijah, who
ma le fun of the Baalites when they
called down fire and it did not come,
suggesting that their heathen god had
gone hunting or was of? on a journey, or
was asleep and nothing but vociferation
could wake him, saving: 4,Cry aloud, for
he is a god; either he is talking or pursu
ing; or ieradventuro he sleepelh and
must be awaked." They have an ex
ample in Christ, who with healthful
sarcasm showed up tho lying, hypocriti
cal Pharisees by suggesting that such per
fect people like themselves needed no im
provements, saying: ''The whole need
not a physician but they that are sick."
But what use are you making of your
wjt? Is it bosmirched with profanity
and unch an.ie? Do you employ it in
amusement at physical defects for which
tho victims are not responsible?
Are
your powers of mimicry used to put re
ligion in contempt? Is it a bunch of nct
tlesouio invectives Is it a bolt of unjust
rcorn? Is it fun at other's misfortune?
Is it glee at their disappointment and de
feat' Is jt bitterness put drop by drop
i:t a cup? Is it Ilka tho squeezing of
ArL'inisia Alsinthiura into a draught al
ready disUistefulIy pungent? Then you
are the star Wormwood. Yours is the
fun of a rattlesnake trying how well it
can sting. It is the fan of a hawk tiy
i:;g ho-.v quick it can strike out the eye
cf a dove.
Bdt I wi!l change this and I will sup-po-
e you are a star of worldly prosperity.
Then you have large opportunity. You
can encourage that artist by buying his
picture. You can improve tho fields, the
stables, the highway, by introducing
higher style of fowl and horse and cow
and sheep. You can bless the world
with pomological achievement in the or
chards. You can advance aboriculturo
and arrest this death ful iconoeiasm cf tha j
American forests. You can put a piece j
cf sculpture into tho niche of that public
academy. You can endow a college, j
You can stocking a thousand bare feet
from tho winter fro&T' You can build a
church. You can put a missionary of
Christ on tliat foreign shore. You can
help ransom a world- A rich man with
L.M heart rirrht can vou tell me how
mncii good a James Lennox or a George j
rcahody or a PVter Cooper or a William
K. Dodge did while living or is doiii
now that he is dead? T.hero is not a city,
town or neighliorhood that ban not
glorious specimens of consecrated wealth.
Hut suppose you grin 1 tho face of the
poor. Supjioso when a man's wages are
duo you make him wait for them le
cau -e he cannot help himself. SupK:;'
that because his family is sick and he
has hal extra exjK'nseri lie should jxiiitely
ask you to rai.-Mj his wages for this year
and you roughly tell him if ho wants a
letter place to go and get it. Suppose
by your manner you act as though Ik
were nothing and you were everything.
Supose you are seiii.ih and overloariiig
and .arrogant. Your first name ought tc
lie Attila and your last name Attila.
lieeause you are the star Wormw (xl,
and you have embittered one-third, if not
three-thirds, of tho waters that roll past
your employes ami operatives and de-K-ndents
and associates, and the long
line of carriages which the undertaker
orders for jour funeral in order to make
tho occasion respectable, wiil be filled
with twice as many dry, fearless eyes as
there are icrsons occupying them. The.
clumsy pall Imarers may make tlie gates
of your sepulcher quake by striking jour
silver handled cohin against them, but
the 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 have especial adaptation and
quickness for some one thing. It may
be great, it may bo small. The circle
may lw like the circumference of the
earth or no larger than a thimble. There
aro thousands of geniuses here this morn
ing and in some one thing you are a
star. What kind of a star are you?
You will Ih3 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 we doing with that minute? Are we
embittering tho domestic or social or
(K)litical fountains, or are wo 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 threw that
branch into the water, and it became
sweet and slaked the thirst of the suffer
ing host? Are we with a branch of tlie
Tree of Life sweetening all the brackish
fountains that we can touch? Dear Lord,
send us all out on thy mission. All
around us embittered lives, embittered
by persecution, embittered by hyporcrki-
cism. embittered iy oovertv. embittered
by pain, embittered by injustice, embit
tered by sin. Why not go forth and
sweeten them by smile, by inspiring
words, by Ienef actions, by hearty coun
sel, by prayer, by gospeii.ed behavior.
Let us remember that if we tire 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 bUwicicnt. It sweetens tho disposition.
It sweetens the manners. It sweetens
ife. It sweetens mysterious Provi-h-ncos.
It sweetens aliliclions. It
sweetens death. It sweetens every-
thing. I

If vou

have three wishes gratified what would
your three wishes be?" If 1 could have
three .wishes met this morning I tell you
what tbey wouhl be. First: More of t! ;e
grace of Cod. Second: More of the
grace of God. Third: More of the grace
of God. In the door yard of i iv brother
John, missionary in Aiuoy, China, there
is a tree called the emperor tree, tho two
characteristics of winch are that it al
ways grows higher than its surrounding
and its leaves take the form of
a crown. If this emperor trco be
planted by a rose bush it grows a little
higher than the bush, and spreads o:it
above it a crown. If it bo planted by
the side of another tree, it grows a little
higher than that tree and spreads above
it. a crown. Would God that this religion
of Christ, a more wonderful emperor
tree, might overshadow all j-oung lives;
.ire you lowly in ambition or circum
stance, putting over you its crown ; are
you high in talent and position, putting
over you its crown. Oh, for more of the

stars, but they may fall wormwood.
Tyre tho atmosphere of the desert

markets rich with horses and camels

and coral and agate from Syria, with
wines from Ilelbon, with embroidered
work from Ashur and Chilrnad. Where
now the gleam of her towers, where the
roar of her chariots, where the masts of
her ships? Let tho fishermen who dry
their nets where once she stood, let the
sea that rush.es upon the barrenness

She was a star, but by her own sin

spirit of destruction spread the

and taught the miserable cottagejs of to

temples, and sent desolation and ruia

From the persecutions of the Pilgrim
fathers and the Huguenots in other lands
God set upon these shores a nation. Tho
council fires of the aliorigines went out
in tho greater light of a free govern
ment. The sound of the war whoop was
exchanged for the thousand wheels of
enterprise and progress. The mild win
ters, tke fruitful summers, the healthful
skies charmed from other lands a race of
hardy men who loved God and wanted
to be free. Before tho woodman's ax
forests fell and rose again into ships'
masts and churches' pillars. Cities on
the bank of lakes begin to rival cities by
the sea. The land quakes with the
rush of the rail car and the
waters are churned white with the
steamer's wheel. I'abuloua bushels of
western wheat meet on tho way fabulous
tons of eastern coal. Furs from the
north pass on the rivers fruits from the
south. And trading in the same market
is Elaine lumberman and South Carolina
rice merchant and Ohio farmer and
Alaska fur dealer. And churches and
schools and asylums scatter light and
love and mercy and salvation upon sixty
millions of jieople.
I pray that our nation may not copy
the crimes of the nations that have
perished, and our cup of blessing turn to
wormwood and like them v" go down.
I am by nature and by grace an optimist,
and I expect that this country will con
tinue to advance until the world shall put
on millennial era, and that when Chri t
comes again he will st his throne some
where between tho Alleghanies and the
Sierra Nevadas. But be not deceived!
Our only safety is in righteousness to wart".
God and justice toward man. If we for

the drunkenness and licentiousness that
stagger and blaspheme in tho streets of
our great cities, as though they were
reaching after the fame of a Corinth and
a Sodom, are not repented of, we
will yet see the smoke of our nation's
