PRESIDENT GARFIELD ,
The Attempt Upon His Life
a Subject For n
Sermon ,
fs Rev. A. F. Shorrill Took Up
< the Question Sunday
And Addressed n
lion
Rov. A. F. Shornll preached to n
largo audience in the First Congrega
tional church Sunday evening , on the
subject of the attempted assassination
of President Oarfiold.
Mr. Shorrill took his text from two
portions of the Old Testament ; from
the 100th psaim and the fourth verso :
"Enter into His gates with thanks
giving and into His courts with praise
nnd bless His name , " and from the
fourth chapter of Proverbs and the
twnty-sixth verso , "Ponder the path
of thy fcot and lot all thy ways bo
established. "
Mr. Shorrill began : Christian
friends and Christian patrons ,
there is a Rinilo to-night
of gratitude and of joy
over the whole face of this nation.
Two weeks ago yesterday there was
attempted a dreadful crime against
the head of our nation , nnd the nown
that was coming to us two weeks ajjo
yesterday at this tinio , nnd aganl
during the hours of the Sabbath , was
DAHKKNI.Vfl OUU IIKAUTH
with sorrow nnd foreboding. The
pang of liii wound went to the heart ;
of fifty million people , forwonllliav
learned not only to respect , but als
to love this true real man , of signa
ability , of honest heart , of simple
faith. And when this news carne to
us it came like a personal sorrow and
bereavement to our lio.irls , but since
that day the news has been bottorand
better , until now wo have great hopes
nil of us that the worst is passed , and
that our president will bo restored to
us with his health and strength. Ami
BO , to-iiifjht , our first reason for
thanksgiving , as wo enter this house ,
is that wo can have for our subject
something about , not the assassina
tion of the president , but only the
attempted assassination. Two weeks
of prayer have rolled over this land
ouch as has novcr passed over it be
fore , and probably there ia
NO OTHBIl MAN
living , or ovor'has lived , who in two
weeks has had HO many prayers offered
up for himas well as otluT things done ,
as our president had offered for him
in tlioso past two weeks.
And now that these prayers have
boon so largely answered , if not fully ,
it becomes us to render in return
thanksgiving nnd gladness unto God
with full hearts for the goodness he
has already shown and for the largo
extent to which ho kas answered the
prayers which have been offered. Lot
us remember while wo pray with
heartiness that many have prayed whenever
never prayed boforo. Prayers have
boon offered day by day in Westmin
ster Abbey for the lifo of the president
of the United States , not only there ,
but
SYMPATHY HAH UK11N WA1T15I )
and prayers have ascended from ovcry
nation in Christendom.Yps , beyond ,
I From Japan and th'o interior of
Africa and the states of southern
America , joined together in words of
sympathy and utterances of prayer to
God and thereby haa given n noble
tribute to this man whom wo honor
and a tribute likewise to our nation
nnd also n tribute to Christian faith.
And lot mo emphaciso a moment , for
wo have been charged by skeptical
scientists that religion in this country
nnd in this ago was losing its hold.
When a nation is cast into trouble
then comes the true test whether wo
are infidels or believers. Why , oven
Inganoll so far forgot himself ( and
most of us must agree' that ho has
novcr been sincere ) when ho hoard
the news that
TIIK PHEHIDKNT WAS DEAD ,
that ho said , 'God ' have mproy upon our
country ' While on this part lot us
express our thanks to God and gladness
because this act , this nefarious crime
WM committed , not with the pretext
of excuse on the part of any fault of
the president or any fault in the gov
ernment , nor as the representative ) of
the spirit of any party , nor with the
connivance of anybody , but is merely
the act of one dastardly cur. , who hits
about an equal mixture , as Icnnloarii ,
of fanaticism and villainy. It ia worth
a great deal to our nation that this is
true , not only among ourselves but
abroad. If it is not understood at
the first it will bo. Kings have been
struck down by assassins , but tlioso
kings had the stains of the blood of
K their people on their cloaks
us it were , and whoso
( JOVKnNMKNT WAS TYHANNICAL
and the people had at least some pre
text for the committing Of such an
act , but with us there is not oven the
slightest pretext on the part of the
president or of anything existing in
our nation why such n thing should
bo done , nor was it the expression of
the opinion of any party. I was
afraid whom I first hoard the news that
it was an expression of n paity wo
have much to fear. I feared that before
fore the sun went down it would bo
wired to us that it was an expression
on the part of that party which is en
deavoring to unnihilato , to itriko
down , the heads in Europe as well as
hero. But it was nothing of the kind
It was the single act of such one as I
described , I have nothing moro to
say of him. This country has noth
ing moro to do with him. I am aur <
pnsod that the papers have
HAIU HO MUCH
about him. Wo hnvo no interest it.
him or in his pedigree. All wo desire
to know ia that ho is put away in some
safe place and never allowed to come
among men again having proved himself -
self unfit to live among men , Ho
should be loft to coinniuno with his
own guilty conscience till God calls
him to a higher account. Ono moro
thing wo may bo glad for that is well ,
and that is that this nation knows
what a good and useful.maa it haa and
that President Garfield in the four
months of his administration haa done
moro than 'many , have done in foui
years. If ho had fallen this nation
would htu o boon
fiOUELY DRIFTED
and hurt , and perhaps pormnncntlj
hurt in some respects , yet so great arc
the resources of this broad nation , anil
so many are its wise and strong men ,
it would not have been a mortal hurt
in any sense to our nation. Ita stocks
would still remain steady , its great in
dustries would still move on nnd it
still bo the most prosperous nation on
the fnco of the earth. Some dastard
ly assassin may strike A mortal blow
at the lioad of thisnn'ion ' , but God has
laid its foundation too broad and made
it too high and strong. It is easy to
BCO the good wo may got from taking
n few glimpses into the interior lifo of
this Christian family and the good it
nill do to this Christian nation. The
influence it lias to hush all factional
fooling and bring men to
ROBEIl THOUGHT
and hotter action , to illustrate to us
the value of a sound mind in a sound
body. Hut it was my purpose to-
mijht to speak of certain moral re
forms and reforms in government
that nro suggested by this event , and
to make us think about them. You
know it is the opinion of many
thoughtful men in this country that
it is destined to bo very severely tried
in the not far distant future , that there
nro elements of discord nnd danger
within our midst for which there is
no suitable power of control or re
pression , and that wo are Covering on
the verge of Boino great conflict , per
haps between labor and capital , pur-
haps religion will also enter. Jut
men say there are signs coming in this
country of
ofA
A (1KEAT IlKVOLUTIOK
that will only differ from that of
Franco in being greater and moro
bloody. You know that Macauloy
warned us while living and before him
a wiser man too , that this nation
might answer for a little while ,
but when wo came to bo
n nation of two hundre
to the square mile it would not bo
strong enough. There would have to
bo a change of government or else
anarchy. Wo all know that it is very
possible thata government which would
nniwor with three millions in thirteen
umall states may not answer with fifty.
with a hundred , or with five hundred
millions across the broad extent of
this continent. If it bo not true that
: ho government must bo changed into
A MO.VAHCHY
itrongor , moro central aud have moro
lirect control over the people or else
ovol ull ions , if that bo not romiirod it
s possible , and I think you will agrco
vith mo , there muse bo some changes
n our present government. I would
luggest some of the necessary changes :
First of all I think it will bo agreed
hero must bo a moro careful defense
uwrd kept about the head of our na-
ion. It may not bo anything in the
vny of display ; it should not bo and
iced not bo anything that will bo of-
ensivo to any one that believes in n
opublio. The lifo of the president of
his nation is n very choice lifo and
vo have realized this during the last
wo weeks. It is
A LIFE 1'ECULIAIILY
Phoroforo this man ought to have
pecial guards around him , not only
or your sakea but for his own. Think
if it iu your own case with a strong
inagination , having a family as ho
uvs , and knowing to what you nro ox-
osed , would you not wish to have
lomo special guard around you ? Wo
pad in history that Jefferson could
ido up on horseback and dismount
, nd walk into the capital nnd bo very
nucli like one among the rest. These
forp good days and wo all love uim-
ilictty. But the time haa come when
hia is no longer possible , and it being
o , and the facts before us show it is ,
think it is going to end , and the
oed Honso of the people of this nation
rill sco that henceforth there must bo
omo guard to
DEI'K.NI ) TUB TIIESIDEXT.
Not a conspicuous guaid , or for dis-
ilay , but one that will make hia lifo
afar than it can bo otherwise , as
< /u valuu his lifo , and cannot atlbrd to
lave repeated every now and then
vhut has boon repeated within the
ast two weeks. Along with a fur-
hcr guard wo should have n largo in-
TOOBO of our army five or perhaps ,
on times as largo as now. At present
vo have a single squad of men for
ifty millions. Wo have a squad of
wonty-fivo thousand men , if every
ogimimt is full. If the single city of
tfow York should break out it could
lot hold a single day , unless ono man
an handle fifty men , and I dent think
his could bo done.
EVEN BY SOLDIEHH.
That being true of a single city ,
hinlc of the whole nation if some evil
hould arise , if the army were in do-
iwuil. Whore is it ? Scattered from
Honda to Washington territory , and
s only a handful in case of evil uris-
ug. The most remarkable thing
bout tlia riot that occurred , is tlua ,
lot that it did the great danmgo that
t did , and awakened terror , but that
t ended where it did. Wo all know
hat there are large numbers of dm-
ontontod nnd dangerous people in
his country , and that at any time ,
, -horo many are jrnthorod together ,
liorc are likely to bo fierce and very
angoroua outbreaks , and that wo
iavo nothing to meet it hero , no ways
if making ourselves safe. And these
fho have the largest amount of risk ,
iiul these who live in the vicinity of
; athorings of people of this class , are
nest anxious that
THE AUMY
iliould bo increased , and especially a
cind of defense in any case of danger.
\nd wo cannot bo safe as n nation nor
itand right till wo got such a defense.
Every nation has found it necessary.
Iho story proved it necessary , and if
jvp go in the face of experience and
Instory wo shall suffer in the tuture ,
whereas if wo are provided and espe
cially in the cast if the nrmy is not
called out for a hundred years it
would bo justified as ono ot the wisest
acts this nation has over performed ,
because it would provo a most oflioa-
cioua peacemaker that this nation can
have in its midst. Then again there
should bo a radical reform in our
civil service. The London Telegraph
says to us that unlesa America shall
CUT OUT THIS CANUEll
of place hunting which ia now on its
face it will destroy the whole body
politic and 1 think everyone in this
audience aud everyone in this nation
will say that is truo. In the centen
nial year eiehty thousand civil officer !
waged for the presidency. What will
it bo when wo have the sdcond con-
tcnniarly ? Why. this system ol
spoil and place hunting is a source
of weakness nnd danger in
our government and leads to corrtip'
tion , to bitterness , to factions of all
kinds , of bribery and evil doing and
evil thinking and the pressure and in
fluence upon the nation is something
too dangerous and creates n cause of
danger that wo cannot longer carry
on , It is not saying too much to as
sort that it was
ONLY OFFICE SEEKING
gone mad that shot the president two
weeks ago , and that the flame of that
revolver wns n kind of lurid light to
show us the dark danger that lie nil
around our feet. Along with that
must como another reform nnd that is
a greater limit of the suffrage. There
is already in some slates a cnrtain
amount ot limit , so there is nothing
contrary to the principles of our gov
ernment in it. There must bo n
greater limit than nt present. It will
take very wise nicii ( of intelligence , of
responsibility , of property nnd so on ,
but limits ought to bo placed without
reference to sex , because there is no
argument on the
FACE OF THE EAUTH ,
why ono snx shtxild not vote as well
as the other , having the limit of re
sponsibility , property nnd other
things. Samuel Burns and Mr. Mills
had to live in tins country twenty-one
yrars and learned law every day before
they were allowed to vote , and they
knew as much about it when they had
finished as they did when they begun.
For n yrcat many people it is not safe ,
it is not right , that they should vote.
1 would bo for giving them every nd-
vantage of church and school , aud
phtform nnd society to make them
ready as soon as possible , nnd fit to
exercise the franchise. And many of
these who have como to our country
have made our best citizens , whether
foreigners or Americans , but the suf
frage should not bo allowed till it is
proved that there is fitness for it.
When you put power into tlio hand
of ignorance some ono will always
suffer. When you put power in the
hands of irresponsible people someone
ono will always suffer. There must
bo limits put , and carefully put upon
THE KurntAOE ,
otherwise wo shall find the power in
the hands of these that will sweep us
away into anarchy and destruction.
Then there is another thing that must
receive attention , It is true that ni
hilism and socialism are , as yet , small
in this country. Comparatively so.
You know when Alexander was nssas-
sinnted , organized meetings in Chicago
aponly applauded that act , and you
uid I smiled.
Now York city not only did the
lanio , but threatened prominent citi-
.ens of our country. 'My friends , it
lot safe to treat this matter lightly.
Wo have other nations to take wani
ng from
WHAT IS NIHILISM ?
It is a Latin word. Nihil , that ia
icthing. It moans to say to you , you
iavo no rights whatever that they're
jound to respect. Vourlifois noth-
.ng if they cnooso to take it. Your
iroperty is not your own , you have to
livido with them There is no God ,
10 future , no justice , nothing to fear.
When Guitoau wrote that note I don't
say nny nihilistic society had any con-
lection with him , but the central sen-
: enco of that note the pith of it is ni-
lilism. "Lifo is but a day dream and
fou may as well bo struck out to-day
is to-morrow. " That is the very pith
ind radical
rniNciriK or NIHIMSM
vherovor it oxhts and ho hnd the
pint of nihilism in him when ho com-
nitted Hint atrocious act. This is an
lluntratiou of what that organization
vill become if allowed to grow up in
nir midst ; so I say with Gen. Grant ,
nke all legitimate means to crush it
ut speedily and utterly. Wo may
lo it better now because it is compara-
ively small , because there is no
ihadow of n pretext for its existence
imong us. Then thoio is ono moro
hing you and I , the press , society ,
ho people , uolitical parties , all of us
nust begin to have more rctpect for
ho powers that be. That is more im-
mrtnnt than any thing else. The Bible
ays :
" "
HONoit "THE KINO ,
mil in another place , "Thou slmlt
lot speak ill of rulers , " and history
ins proved to us that the Bible is
vise in that. A republican govorn-
nont must always bo exorcising some
ionsorvntivo criticism , but wo have
illowod ourselves to go into nn un-
: hocked license in our criticism , in
) ur accusations , in our evil speaking
) f all kinds of those that rule over us
to far as anything has not pleased us
nbo exactly of our color , and the
result nil the time all through the un
ion , these that are in authority are
jcginning to bo held cheap , and con-
: empt works its way through the very
itmosphcro that the people breathe ,
ind all
IIESI'KCT KOll UULEKS ,
heir reform , their voice and their au-
hority ia little by little being scat-
ored away from us. There will al-
vays bo found somewhere among the
> coplo these of unbalanced minds and
hose are the ones that will assassinate.
L'heroforo in that sense when Guitcau
irod that revolver ho was only taking
lisway of fighting the administration ,
ind in a certain sense all of us are in
.DIDO . degree responsible for hia act.
tVo shall see it repented , whatever
irovontiona wo have , if wo allow our-
iclvoB and our people to indulge in
hat wholesale criticism of these that
ulo over us. Wo must correct our-
lelvea
BEEOUE WE CONDEMN
.hose that rule. And this , the last
hing I wish to speak of to-night , it ia
lot true that moralists are obliged to
: ome to religion in order to obtain
( auction or a right to exist. Wo know
ho moral law without going to the
Uib'.o to find it. Wo know gratitude
is right and stealing is wrontr , whether
there is a Bible or not. Marcus An-
reliusknow it. The Indian knows it ,
but wo do have to come to religion in
ardor to got inspiration and working
force to throw into morals. Wo have
to go to religion to make morala prac
tically operative. Whoever in this
nation is busyini' himself to undermine -
mine the religious faith of the people ,
to undermine the confidence in that
book , to underiuino the habit of re
spect for the Sabbath day , whoever
ia doing that , is insidiously working
the Tvor.it evils , and is himself tin
worst cnoniy tlint exists in this nation ,
IJRACOINO THE NATION
degradation and its liberty , laws anc
civilization will certainly fall , and the
ruin of the nation bo inevitable.
Whereas by as much as any ot you
are working and living and teaching
to make the religion of Jesus Christ
believed in by the people , and that
people so believing are advancing and
helping to stimulate morality , by so
much you are working forlho welfare ,
the strength and the safety of this na
tion. 1 think that you will
understand what nil that
means without any special
application made on my part , so I just
closo.with these words , you and I have
coon in the last two weeks how great
is the value in the hour of calamity
and possibly of death to have in one's
heart Chtistian faith.Vhatover other
things you may ascribe it to , and there
are secondary causes , but
THE liKAL CAUSE
for the fortitude and spirit and bravo
manly bearing of that man during
this fearful trial , and correspondingly
of his noble wife , because beneath
all others , is deep , abiding Christian
faith. Ho will recover if possible ,
otherwise ho had no fear and in either
cnso could be calm nnd still and act
his bravo part.
And now , Christian friends , and all
hero present , none of us have our
houses secured against the evils of
calamity. Wo know they will cemp ,
let us have in our hearts the same
true nourco of hope _ , "and may it
also bo a faith that w ill enable us to
say , "Though I walk through the val-
Iny of the shadow of death 1 fear no
pvil , lor thou art with mo. " "Thoro
is no condemnation to them that are
in Jesus. "
