Bolshazzorean feast has left nothing but
the broken pieces of the crushed uhalices.
There it stands, the ghastliost thing on
earth, the remnant of a drunkard's home.
The costliest thing on earth is sin. The
most expensive of all music is the song of
thodrunkorda. It is the highest thrill of
nationhnot a protective tariff, but a thrill
of damn, a tariff of woe, a tariff of death.
This evil whats the knives of the assassins,
cuts the most of the wounds of the hospiv
ta], makes necessary most of the aims-
houses, causes the most of the riivlngs of
the insane asylum, and puts up most of
the iron bars of the ponitentiarics. It has
its hand today on the throat of the Ameri-
can republic. it is the taskmiister of no.
tions, and the human race crunches under
its anathema. The song of the drunknrds
has for its acomupnninient the olauk of
chains, the chattering tenth of poverty,
the rattle of executioner’s scaffold, the
cracking door of the deserted home, the
crash of shipwrecks and the groans of
empires. The two billion twenty million
dollars which rum costs this country in a
year, in the destruction of grain and sugar,
and the supportirn of the pulipers, and
the invalids and th criminals which strong
drink muses, is only a small part of what
is paid for this expensive song of the
iruiiknrds. '
It Is I Son. of the Multitude.
Agilin, this song of the (iriinkards isa
Imultitudinous song—not :Lliolo, not a
duet. not a quartet, not" a sextet, but
millions on millions are this hour singing
it. Do not think that alcoholism has this
field all to itself. it has powerful rivals
in the intoxicants of other nations—hash-
eesh and arrack and plilquo and opium and
quavo and mastic and wcdro. Ivory na-
tion, barbaric as well as civilized, has itsi
pet intoxicuiit. This song of thcdriinknrds
is rendered in Chinese, illudmi, Arabian,
Assyrian, Persian, Mexican~yoa, all the
languages. All zones join it. No coiiti»
mint would he largo enough for the choir
gallery if iill those who have this libretto
in their hands should stand side by side to
about the international chorus. (lthcr
throngs are just learning tliauight union
of this deathful music which is already
mastered by the orchestras in full voice un-
dor the batons in full swing. All the uni»
siolans assembled at Dusseldorf or iiurlin
or Boston pence jubilee, rendering syniv

Mendelssohn or Wagner or (llmpln or

host beside host, gallery lilimo gallery,
who are now pouring forth the song of tho
drunkiiriis.
Years ago, standing before ll bulletin
board in New York on the night of o prtw
idontlai election day. as the news came in
and the choice of the American people, was
finally announced, there were people in
the streets who sang roistoriug and frivo‘
ions songs. iiut in the street one lllllll. in

when the song of rescue and salvation shall
drown with an overwhelming surge this
mighty song of the druiikiirds!
A Suggestive Song.
Again, the song of tho drunkurds is a
suggestive song. You hour a bursary run

you are reminded of the revival scam-s
flllliii which you were brought to God.
Nothing so brings up associations as ii
song song or played upon liistriiiiwm.
and tho drunkords' song is full of some»
tion. As you hear it on the street quite
into some night you begin to any to your-
self: “I wonder if he has a mother? is his
wife waiting for him? Will his children be
frightened when he enters the front door
and stoggurs, whooping, up the stairs?
What chance is there for that young man,
started so earlyon the down grade? in
what luminous will he siicctaéiit’. flow long
before that innii will run through his prop-

to the song of tho drunkards. Those who
have gone down could mention the name

that all pandeiiieniuui will encore the per-

Furthermore, the last characteristic of
the drunknrd's song ism tremendous that
1 can hardly bring myself to mention it.
The ilrunkurds' song is ii continuous song.
Once start that tune, and you keep it up. ,
You have known a hundred men destroyed

strong drink are not saved at all.
I have been at a concert which went on
for two hours and a half, and many people
,got up and left hecnueeit, was. too long.
But 95 per cent of those who are singing
the drunkiirils’ song will to the last breath
of their lungs and the last beatof their
hearts keep on roiideirng it, and the gui-
icrios of earth and heaven and hell will
stay filled with the astounded spectators.
it is such a continuous and prolonged song
that one feels like mnkiiig‘the prayer which
ll reformed inobriate once made: “Al--
mighty (led! if it be thy will that man
should stiller, whatever eeemeth good in
thy sight impose upon me. Let the bread

i’uro be like the fleeting of a cloud. and the
shouts of my ciioiiiics like the rushing of
waters. When I anticipate good. let evil
annoy me. When I look for light, lot
darkness come upon me. Let the terrors
of death he ever before me. Do all this,
but saw me, merciful God! Save me from
the fate of :i driinkard. Amen!”
A “'ord For Prevention.
You see this sermon is not so much for
euro as for prevention Stop before you
start. if you will forgive the soieoisin. The
clock of at. l‘oiil‘s cathedral struck 13 one
midnight. and so saved the life of o sen~
tinol. The soldier was arrested and tried
for falling asleep at his post one midnight.
lint he declared that lie was awake at
midnight, iiiid in proof that he was awake
he said that he had heard the unusual oc-
currence of the clock striking 13 instead of
i2. He was laughed to scorn and son—
tcnccd todeatli. iut three or four per-
sons. hearing of the case, came up in time
to swear that they, too, heard the clock
strike, is} that some midnight, and so the
man's life was spared. My bearer, if you
go on and thoroughly learn thodrimkorde‘
song, perhaps in the deep midnight of
your soul there may sound seiiiethiiig that
will yet- effect your moral and eternal ros-
one. But it is a risky "perhaps.” It is
exceptional. Go ahead on that wrong road,
and the clock will more probably strike
the 1:: that closes your day of opportunity
than that it will strike ill, the sound of
your doliit-i'ulicc.
A low fizibbatlis ago on tho steps of this
