, BTKAN0F.R8 WITHIN THE OATES.
Thcro havo glided into this houso
thoso unknown to others whoso history
if told would bo moro thrilling than tho
docixflt tragedy, moro exciting than Pat
ti a song, moro bright than a spring
morning, moro awful than a wintry
midnight. If they could r.tand np hero
and tell tho story of their escapes, and
their temptations, and their bereave
ments, and their disasters, and their vie
torics, and their defeats, thery would lo
in this honso such n commingling of
groans nnd acclamations as would mako
tho placo unendurable.
Thero is n man who, in infancy, lay
in n cradlo satin lined. Out yonder is a
man who wmi picked up n foundling on
Boston common. Hero is a man who is
coolly observing this religious service,
expecting no advantago and caring for
iio advantago for himself, whllo yonder
is a, man who has been for 10 years in
nn awful conflagration of ovil habits, and
Iio is a mero cinder of a destroyed na
ture, nnd ho is wondering if thero shall
x in this service any escnpo or help for
his immortal soul. Meeting yon only
onco perhaps faco to face, Istrlko hands
with you in an earnest talk nlwut your
present condition and your eternal well
being. St. Paul's ship at Mclitn went to
pieces whero two was meet, hut wo stand
today nt a point whero a thousand seas
converge, nnd eternity alono can tell tho

Tho hotels of this country, for beauty
and elegance, nro not surpassed bv tho
hotels in any other land, but thoso that

estry and mirror cannot givo to tho
guest nuy costly apartmout unless ho can
afford a parlor in addition to his loilg.

orally find assigned to him a room with
out any pictures and perhaps any rook

on a bureau and nn old newspaper left
by tho previous occupant, and that will
bo about nil tho ornamentation. At 7
o'clock in thoovening. after having tak
en his repast, ho will look over his mom
orandnm book of tho day's work, ho will
write a lottor to his home, nud then a
desperation will scizo upon him to got
out. You hoar tho great city thundering
under your windows, and you say, "I
must join that procession, " and In 10
niitiutes yon havo joined It. Whero aro
you going? "Oh," you say, "I haven't
uindo up my mind yet." Better mako
up your mind before you start Perhaps
tho very way you go now you will al

two young men who camo down tho As

"Well, whero aro yon going?" says
ouo man. "I am going to tho academy
to hear somo music, " Good I would

and sco who goes in. Stop nt that saloon

Who is that Christian man going

I meet another coming down off tho
hotel stops, and I say, "Where aro you
going?" You say: "I am going with a
merchant of Now York who has nroni-
ised to show mo tha underground lifo of
tho city. I am his customer, and ho Is
going to obllgo mo very much." Stopl
A business honso that tries to got or keep
your custom through such a process as
that is not worthy of you. Thero are
business establishments in our cities
which havo for years been sending to
destruction hundreds and thousands of
merchants. They havo a secret drawer
in tho counter where money is kept, and
tho clerk goes and gets it when ho wants
to tako theso visitors to tho city through
tho low slums of tho place.
Shall I mention tho names of somo of
theso groat commercial establishments?
I havo them on my lips. Shall I? Per
haps I had hotter leavo it to tho young
men who in that process havo lwcn do
stroyod themsolvcs whllo thoy havo boon
destroying others. I care not how high
sounding tho namo of a commercial es
tablishment if it proposes to got custom
ers or to keep them by such a process na
that Drop their acquaintance. They
win cnca you oeioro you get through
They will send you a stylo of goods dif
ferent from that which you bought by
sample. They will givo you under
weight Thero will lo in tho packago
half a dozen less pairs of susnenders than
you paid for. They will rob you. Oh,
you fool iu your pockets and say. "Isniv
money gono?" They havo robbod you of
somothing for which dollars and cents
can nover givo you compensation.
When ono of theso western merchants
has been dragged by ono of thoso com
mercial agents through tho slums of tho
city, ho is not fit to go home, Tho mere
memory or what ho has scon will bo
moral pollution. I think yon had better
let tho city missionary and thonollcn nt.
tend to tho exploration of Now York nnd
underground life. You do not go to a
smallpox hospital for tho purposo of ex
ploration. You do not go thcro liecnuso
you nro afraid of contagion. And yet
you go into tho prcsenco of n mornl Inn.
rosy that is as much moro dangorous to
yoa as tho death of tho soul is worso
than tho death of tho lxxly. I will un
dortako to say that nlno-tenths of tho
men who havo lwon ruined iu our cities
havo been ruined by simply going to oh
servo without nay idea of participating.
Tho fact is that underground cirv lifo is
a nitny, tuuiimr. reeking. tv.ut,mna
dopth which blasts tho oyo that looks nt
it. In tho reign of terror in 1703 in
Paris peoplo escaping from tho officers
of tho law got into tho sowers of tho
city nud crawled and walked through
miles of that awful labyrinth, stifled
with tho atmosphere and nlmost dead,
somo of them, when they camo out to
tho rlvor Seine, where they washed
themselves and again breathed tho fresh
air. But I havo to toll you that a great
many of tho men who go on tho work of
oxploration through tho underground
gutters of Now York Hfo nover come out
at any Seiuo river whero thov mn ivni,
u.i nm pollution or tlio moral sewage.
Stranger, if ono of tho representatives
of n commercial establishment proposos
to tako you and show you tho "sights"
of tho town and underground New York,
say to him, "Please, sir, what part do
you proposo to show me?"
KxruHiKaTiii:fii.uMs.
About 10 years ago as a minister of
religion I felt I had a dlvlno commission
to explore tho iniquities of our cities. 1
did not ask counsel of my session or my
presbytery or of tho nowspapcrs, but
asking tho companionship of threo
prominont police offlclals and two of tho
elders of my church I unrolled my com
mission, and It said: "Son of man, dig
no ho wall And when I had digged
into tho wall behold a door, and ho said
go in and sco tho wicked abominations
iinn iiro uono ncre. And I went in and
saw and behold!" Brought up in tho
country and surrounded by much pa
rental care, I had not until that tiinoscon
tlio haunts of iniquity. By tho grace of
God defended, I had uovcr sowed my
"wild oats." '
I had somehow been n.l tn n
various sources something about tho in
iquities of tho great cities and to preach
against them, but I saw in tho destruc
Hon of a great multitude- of tho peoplo
that there must bo an Infutuatlon and a
temptation that had nover been spokon
obour, and I said, "I will explore." I
ww thousands of men going down, nnd
if there hod been n spiritual percussion
iiuswcriiig to tho physical percussion
tho wholo nir would havo been full of
tho rumblo and roar and crack and thun-
ing ly day and tolling by night I said,
"I will explore."
I went as a physician goes into a fever
lazareto to seo what practical and useful
Information I might get. That would bo
a foolish doctor who would stand outsldo
tho door of nn Invalid writing a Latin
prescription. When tho lecturer in a
medical colloiro Is donowlth liUleehiro
ho takes tho students into tho dissecting
room, nndjio shows them tho reality. I
went and saw and camo forth to my pul
pit to report a plnguo and to toll how
sin dissects tho lwdy and dissects tho
mind and dissects tho soul. "Oh, " say
you, "aro you not afraid that In conso
quonce of such exploration of tho Iniqui
ties of thu city other perrons might mako
exploration nnddothemsolvcsdamago?"
I reply: "If in company with thu com
missioner of police, nnd tho captain of
police, and tho Inspector of police, nud
tho company of two Christian gentle
men, andiiotwlththosplritof curiosity,
but that you may sco sin in order tho
better to conib.it It, then, In tho namo of
tho eternal God, go? But, if not, then
stay away. "
Wellington, standing In tho battlo of
Waterloo when tho bullets were buz.ing
around his head, saw n civilian on tho
field. Ho said to him: "Sir, what are
you doing hore? Bo off!" "Why," re
plied tho civilian, "thero is no moro dan
ger horo for mo than thcro Is for you."
Then Wellington flushed un and said
"God and my country demand that I bo
here, but you havo no errand here. "
Now I, ns an officer in tho nrmv of
Jesus Christ, went on that exploration
and on to that battlefield. If you bear
a like commission, go. If not, stay away.
But you say, "Don't you think that
somehow tho description of thoso places
induces peoplo to go nnd see for them
selves?" I answer yos, Just as much as
tho description of yellow fever in somo
scourged city would induoo peoplo to go
down thero and got tho pestilence.
But I may bo addressing somo stran
ger already destroyed Where is he, that
I may pointedly yet kindly address him?
Como back and wash in tho deep foun
tain of a Saviour's mercy. I do not givo
yon n cup, or a chalice, or a pitcher with
a limited supply to effect your ablu
tions. I point you to tho flvo oceans of
God's mercy. Oh, that tho Atlantic and
Pacific surges of divino forgiveness
might roll over your soul! As tho ilori-
ous sun of God's forgiveness rides on to
ward tho mid heavens ready to submerge
yon iu warmth and light and lovo I bid
you good morning. Morning of penco
ior all your troubles. Morning of libera
tion for all your incarcerations. Morn
ing of resurrection for your soul buried
iu sin. Good morning! Morning for tho
resuscitated household that has been
waiting for your return. Morning for
tho cradlo nnd tho crib already disgraced
with being that of n drunkard's child.
Morning for tho daughter that has
trudged off to hard work becauso yo
did not tako care of home. Morning for
tho wifo who at 40 or CO years has tho

Morning for all. Good moruiugl In

J1EFORE PITFALLS.
Ill our last dreadful war tho Federals
and tho Confederates were encamped on
opposite sides of tho Rappahannock, and
ono morning tho brass baud of tho north-
em troops played tho national air, and
all tho northern troons elinnrrwi n,wi
cheered Then on tho opposite sido of
tho Rappahannock tho brass band of the
Confederates played "My Maryland"
aud "Dixie," and then all tho southern
troops cheered and cheered. But aftei
awhilo ono of tho bands struck up
"Home, Sweet Home," nud tho band
on tho opposite sido of tho river took np
the strain, nnd when tho tuno was dono
ino coniederates und tho Federals all
together united as tho tears rolled down
their cheeks in ono great huzza, huzza!
Well, my friends, heaven comes very

divides us, tho narrow stream of death,
and tho voices thero and tho voices hero
