WRITES US HIS USUAL SUNDAY SERMON. “Another Chance" the Subject Thereof —People Who Think They Can Cor rect Tlielr Mistakes In this W'orid are Doomed to Disappointment* There is a hovering hope in the tninds of a vast multitude that there will be an opportunity in the next world to correct the mistakes of this; that, if we do make complete ship wreck of our earthly life, it will be on a shore up which we may walk to a palace; that, as a defendant may lose his case in the Circuit court, and carry it up to the Supreme court or Court of Chancery and get a reversal of judg ment in his behalf, all the costs being thrown over on the other party, so, if we fail in the earthly trial, we may in the higher jurisdiction of eternity have the judgment of the lower court set aside, all the costs remitted, and we may be victorious defendants forever. My object in this sermon is to show that common sense, as well as my text, declares that such an expectation is chimerical. You say that the impeni tent man, having got into the next world and seeing the disaster, will, as a result of that disaster, turn, the pain the cause of liis reformation. Hut you tan iind ten thousand instances in this world of men who have done wrong and distress overtook them suddenly. Did the distress heal them? No; they went right on. That man was flung- of dissipations. “You must stop drinking,” said the doctor, “and quit the fast life you are leading, or it will destroy you.” The patient suffers paroxysm after parox ysm; hut, under skillful medical treat ment, he begins to sit up, begins to walk about the room, begins to go to business. And, lo! he goes hack to the same grog shops for his morning dram, and his evening dram, and the drams between. Flat down again! Same doctor! Same physical anguish. Same medical warning. Now, the illness is mo*e protracted; the liver is more stubborn, the stom ach more irritable, and the digestive organs are mere rebellious. Hut after awhile he is out again, goes back to the same dram shops, and goes the same round of sacrilege against his physical health. lie sees that his downward course is ruining his household, that his life is a perpetual perjury against his mar riage vow, that that broken-hearted woman is so unlike the roseate young wife whom he married that her old school mates do not recognize her; that his sons are to be taunted for a life time by the father's drunkenness, that the daughters are to pass into life under the scarification of a dis reputable ancestor. He is drinking up their happiness, their prospects for this life, and, perhaps, for the life to come. Sometimes an appreciation of what he is doing comes upon him. His nervous system is all a tangle. From crown of head to sole of foot he is one aching, rasping, crucifying, damning torture. Where is he? In hell on earth. Docs it reform him? After awhile he has d.elirum tremens, with a whole jungle of hissing reptiles let out on liis pillow, and his screams horrify the neigliors as he dashes cut j of his bed, crying: “Take these things ! off me!” As he sits pale and convales- ; cent, the doctor says: “Now I want to have a plain talk with you, my dear fellow. The next attack of this kind you have you will he beyond all medical skill, and you will die.” He gets better and goes forth into the same round again. This time medicine takes no effect. Consultation of phy sicians agree in saying there is no hope. Death ends the scene. Tnat process of inebriation, warn ing and dissolution is going on within ' stone’s throw of you, going on in all ! the neighborhoods of Christendom. Pain does not correct. Suffering does not reform. What is true in one sense is true in all senses, and will forever he so, and yet men are expecting in the next world purgatorial rejuvena tion. Take up the printed reports of the prisons of the United States. ! and you will find that the vast ma jority of the incarcerated have been there before, some of them four, five, six times. With a million illustrations all working the other wav in this world, people are expecting that dis tress in the next state will be salva tory. You can not imagine any worse torture in any ether world than that which some men have suffered here, and without any salutary conse quence. Futhermore, the prospect of a refor mation in the next world is more im probable than a reformation here. In this wrorld the life started with in nocence of infancy. In the case sup posed, the other life will open with all the accumulated bad habits of many years upon him. Surely, it is easier to build a strong ship out of new timber than out of an old hulk that has been ground up in the breakers. If with innocence to start with in this life a man does not be come godly, what prospect is there that iD the next world, starting with sin, there would be a seraph evoluted? Surely the sculptor has more prospect of making a fine statue out of a block of pure white Parian marble than out of an old black rock seamed and cracked with the storms of half a cen tury. Surely upon a clean, white sheet of paper it is easier to write a deed or a will, than upon a sheet of paper scribbled and blotted and torn from top to bottom. Yet men seem to think that, though the life that be gan here comparatively perfect turned out badly, the next life will succeed, though it starts with a dead failure. Foneropolis was a city where King Philip of Thracia put all the bad peo ple of his kingdom. If any man had opened a primary school at Poneropolis, 1 do not think t^e parents from other cities would have sent their children there. Instead of amendment in the other world, all the associations, now that the good are evolved, will bo de generating and down. You would not want to send a man to a cholera or yellow fever hospital for his health; and the great lazaretto of the next world, containing the diseased ami plague-struck, will be a poor place for moral recovery. If the surroundings in tli is world were crowded of tempta tion, the surroundings of the next world, after the righteous have passed up and on, will be 1,000 per cent more crowded of temptation. Multitudes of men who are kept within bounds would say, “Go to, now! Let me get all out of this life there is in it. Come, gluttony, and inebriation, and uncleanness, and re venge, and all sensualities, and wait upon me! My life may be somewhat shortened in this world by dissolute ness. but that will only make heavenly indulgence on a larger scale the sooner possible. I will overtake the saints at last, and will enter the Heavenly Temple only a little later than those who behaved themselves here. I will on my waj' to heaven take a little wider excursion than those who were on earth pious, and I shall go *o heaven via Gehenna and via Sheol. ” Another chance in the next world means free license and wild abandon ment in this. Suppose you were a party in an im portant case at law, and you knew from consultation with judges and at torneys that it would be tried twice, md the first trial would be of little importance, but that the second would lecide everything; for which trial would you make the most preparation, for which retaip the ablest attorneys, for which be most anxious about the attendance of witnesses? You would put all the stress upon the second trial, all the anxietv, all the expenditure, saving, "The first is nothing, the last is everything. ’ Give the race assurance of a second and more important trial in the subsequent life,and all tlie prepara tion for eternity would be "post mor tem,” post funeral, post sepulchral and the world with one jerk be pitched off into impiety and godlessness. Furthermore, let me ask why a chance should be given in the next world if we have refused innumerable chances iu this? Suppose you give a banquet, and you invite a vast number of friends, but one man declines to come, or treats your invitation with indifference. Yrou in the course of twenty years give twenty banquets, and the same man is invited to them ill, and treats them all in the same obnoxious way. After awhile you remove to another house, larger and better, and you again invite your friends, but send no invitation to the man wno declined or neglected the other invitations. Are you to blame? lias he a right to expect to be invited after all the indignities he has done you? God in this world has invited us ill to the banquet of his grace, lie invited us by bis Providence and his Spirit 3t>5 days of every year since we knevv our right hand from our left. If yve declined it every time, or treated the inydtation with indifference, and gave twenty or forty or fifty years of indignity on our part toward the banqueter, and at last he spreads the banquet in a more luxurious and kingly place, amid the heavenly gardens, have we a right to expect him to invite us again, and have we a right to blame him if lie does not in vite us? If twelve gates of salvation stood open twenty years or fifty years for our admission, and at the end of that time they are closed, can we complain of it and say: “These gates ought to be open again. Give us another chance?” If the steamer is to sail for Hamburg, and we want to get to Germany by that line, and we read in every- evening and every morning newspaper that it will sail on a cer tain day, for two weeks we have that' advertisement before our eyes, and then we go down to the docks fifteen minutes after it has shoved off into the stream and say: “Come back. Give me another chance. It is not fair to treat me in this way. Swing up to the dock again, and throw out planks and let me come on board.” Such behavior would invite arrest as a madman. You see that this idea lifts this world up from an important way sta tion to a platform of stupendous issues, and makes all eternity whirl around this hour, liut one trial for which all the preparation must be made in this world, or never made at all. That Diles up all the emphases all the cli maxes and all the destinies into life here. Jio other chance’. 0, how that augments the value and the imopar tance of this chance! Alexander with his army used to surround a city, and then would lift a great light in token to the people that, is they surrendered before that light went out, all would be well; but if once the light went out, then the bat tering-rams would swing against the wall, and demolition and disaster would follow. Well, all we need do for our present and everlasting safety if to make surrender to Christ, the king and conqueror—surrender of our hearts, surrender of our lives, surrender of everything. And he keeps a great light burning, light of gospel invitation, light kindled with the wood of the cross and darning up against the dark night of our sin and sorrow. Surrender while that great light continues to burn, for after it goes out there will be no other oppor tunity of making peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Talk of another chance! IV hy, this is a su pernal chance! An Oxford library has a manuscript containing the whole bible. It is writ ten on a piece of parchment so thin and the writing is so minute that the whole, when rolled up, is neatly packed away in the shell of a common ! walnut. i CAPTURED BY BRIGANDS. 1’aron Arrlgro’n Adventure In a Secro! Cav**rn In tlio Apennines. Tho trial of tho brigands who car ried away Huron Arrigo from Naples some time ago is now proceeding at Trani, and tho other day the baron recounted his adventures before tho court, says a Paris lettor. Tho most interesting part is his stay in the mountain cavern. It was running with water, and ho begged to bo taken away, but his captors i refused, and ho was obliged to stand continually, tho ground being so wet, and thero being not even a stone to sit upon. At last.ovcrcome by fatigue, he lay down and slept profoundly for four hours. At Jawn ho felt himself pulled by tho legs. His keeper had awakened him, going away immedi ately afterward. Arrigo, as soon as it was quite light, went toward tho entrance of tho cavorn, and not having eaton anything for forty eight hours, prayed a brigand, who stood there, to give him some food. The man ordered him to be silent, saying that in the evening ho should have what ho wished. A week passed, and one day, on Wednesday, the baron was told that he would be allowed to go next Saturday. That night ho heard two of the brigands talking. One said tho money had arrived, but it was very little, and the oilier replied: “Never mind if only it has conic.” When Saturday came Arrigo had had taken no bread for two days, and said to his jailers; “1 have not eaten, because this evening I am to go away.” Tho brigand replied that it would be better to eat, for lie would not get away that night, Arrigo was attacked with a strong fever, besides which he believed he would in the end die of fumine, for the brigands had no money and ho himself no change. Ho had managed to con ceal a note of l.OOOf.. having given 3001, to George Bruno the first day. Another week passed, and when Wednesday came again Arrigo asked to see Lazzara, hut was told that ho had gone away with sorao others to divide the ransom. They were also going to “show themselves” in the village. On tho Saturday afternoon the baron asked if lie could be re leased, and was answered in the affirmative. Toward t o’clock his guardian came and took away all the objects in the cavern, among other things the cap and jacket of a carabi neer. Then Arrigo was led out, and tried to determine tho situation of the cavern in which he had so long been confined. When night fell the brigands led himdownthe mountain, and as soon as they reached the plain told him to go on in front and they would follow him. Arrigo went on, but tho brigands remained behind. When Arrigo finally reached the town of Termini he found his wife in an almost dying state and all his rela tions worn out by anxiety, lie was told that of the 1:M, 000 francs ransom >, >>0 > francs had gone to the priest named Guattrocchi for “camorra”and 10,00 > francs to the priest’s brother I’asquaie for the expenses of prepar ing liis release. Von Buloiv mi l tins Drummer. While walking along the streets ol i Vienna one day with a friend, Von Bulow came across a regimental baud on its way to the castle to play at a certain hour. He let go the arm ot his companion, ran to the middle of the street, and joined the small boys about the drummer. Following the band, he kept bowing to the sur prised drummer, and applauded him at almost every beat. “That is rhythm! Ex-cellent! That's the way I like to hear it,” he continued to ejaculate, to the surprise of the musical soldiers and the great de light of the small boys. People in the streets recognized the famous pianist and joined the procession, so that the band, upon arriving at the castle, had one of the largest audi ences to which it had over played. He listened attentively to the end of the last piece, and then made a deep, obeisance before the drummer and his instrument “Thank you,” he said; “that was refreshing! That puts my nerves in good condition, again.” \\ hen the drummer learned the identity of his strange admirer, he was the proudest man in the- regi ment —Argonaut The Editor. Parson Whang-doodle Baxter of the Thompson Street Blue Light taber nacle on arriving at his place ot wor ship one Sunday morning was sur prised to find no one present but Sam J ©busing, the sexton. “What de debbil am de matter dat dar s no body heah?” “Nobody heah bokase dar’s a notice in the Freeman’s Jour nal dat dar would be no sarvice be kase- ob de disunwellness ob de pas ture." “Did dat fool niggah editor put dat notice in his paper for a fac’?" “He did dat berry ding.” “Wall, I deelar’.
