LESSONS, TO LEARN FROM THE FALL
OF BABYLON.
The Evils That Threaten Ainerioan la-
atitutions --e Bribery in Their Legis-
lative Baliss-The Remedy Given.
BRoOlistirets Nov. 6. -Rev. Dr. Talmage
to-datt selected for his sermon a subject
sufiimently appropriate for these times,
- when, throughout the United Stataiii, great
political questionsare being discusied and
the nation is about to go to the ballot box
and decide who shall rule in neighborhood,
town, city and nation. The text chosen was
. Rev. 18: 10-"A.1.9,s, alas, that great city
Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour
is thy judgment come."
Modern seientists are doing a splendid
work of excavating the tomb of a dead em-
pire holding in its arms a dead pity,
mother and child of the saine narne-
Babylon. The ancient mound invites the
spades and. shovels and eroWbars, While:the
unwashed natives look bit in surprise.
These scientists find yellow bricks still im-
pressed with the name of Nebuchadnezzar,
and they go down into the sarcophagus of a
monarchy buried more than :two thousand
years ago. May the explorations of Raw-
linson and Layard and Chevalier ,and
Opperto and Loftus andChesney be
eclipsed by the present archaeological uncov-
ering. -
But is it possible this is all that remains
of Babylon, a city once five -times larger
than London and twelve times larger than
New York? Walls three hundred and
seventy-three feet high and ninety-three
feet thick. Twenty-five burnished 'gates
, on each side, with streets running -clear
through to corresponding gates on the
other side.- Sir hundred and twenty-five
squares. More pomp and wealth and
splendor and sin than could be found in
-
any ,fiye modern cities combined .A city'
of palaces and temples. A city g'ha,ving
within it a garden on an artificial bill four
- hundred feet high, the sides of the moun-
tain terraced. All this built to keep the
king's Wife, Amytis, from becoming home-
eick for the mountainous region in which
she had spent her girlhood. The waters
of the Euphrates spouted up to irrigate
this great altitude into fruits and flowers
:and arborescence unimaginable. A great
• river running from north. to south clear
through the city, bridges -over it, tunnels
der it, boats on it.
e
.A city of bazaars and of market -places,
uhriyalled for aromatics and unguents
and khightmettlecl horses with grooms, by
heir‘, side, and thysne wood, and African
rgqen, and Egyptiaa linen, and all
-st,)les tof costly textile fabric, and rarest
purple t extracted.' from shellfish on the
'Mediterranean coast, and rarest scarlets
• taken from brilliant insects in Spain, and
ivories 'brought from successful elephant
hunts in India,and diamonds whose flash
was a repartee to the sun. Fortress within
fortress, einbattlernent rising above em-
battlement: Great capital of the, ages.
But one night, while honest citizens were
asleep, but all the saloons of saturnalia
were in full blast, and at the king's cistle
they had filled the tankards for the tenth
time, and reeling and -guffawing and
hiccoughing around the state table
were the tellers of the lend, General C.,yrus
ordered his besieging army to take shovels
and sPa,dea, and they diverted the river
from its usual channel into another direc-
tion so that the forsaken bed of the river
became the path on which the besieging
army entered; When the .morning dawn-
ed the conquerors were inside the outside
trenches. Babylen had fallen, and hence
the sublime threnody of the text: "Alas,
alas, that great city of Babylon, that
mighty city, for in one hour is thy judg-
ment come.": But do nations die? Oh,
•yes, there is great _mortality among mon-
archies and republics. Alley are like in-
dividuals in the fact that they are born,
they have a middle, life, they have a decease,
they have a "cradle, and a grave. Some of
them are assassinated, some destroyed by
their own hand. Let me call the roll of
some of the dead civilizations and some of
• the dead cities and let some one answer for
them.
Egyptian civilization, stand up. "Dead!"
answer the ruins of Karnak and Luxor, and
from seventy pyramids on the east side of
the Nile there comes up a great chorus, cry-
ing "Dead, dead Assyriaai,Empire, stand
up and answer. "Dead !" cry the aliened
ruins of Nineveh. After six hundred years
of magnificent opportimity,lead, Israelitdsh
• Kingdom, stand up. After two hundred
and fifty years of divine interposition and
of miraculous vicissitude and of heroic
behavio5, and of appalling depravity, dead.
Phamicia, stand up eind ansWer. After
• inventing the alphabet and giving it to
the World, and sending out her - mer-
chant caravans izt One direction to Central
Asia, and sending out her navigators to the
Atlantic ocean in another direction, dead.
Pillars of Hercules and rocks on which the
• Tyrian fishermen dried their nets, all
answer, '`Dead Phtenicia." Athens, aftez
Phidias, after Demosthenes, after Miltiades,
dead. Sparta, after Leonidas, after Eury-
biades, after Salamis, after Themopylce,
dead. Roman Empire, stand up time
answer. Empire once bounded by the
British channel on the north, by the Eta
phrates on the east, by the great Sahara
desert in Africa on the south, by the Atlan-
tic ocean on the west. Home of three greai
civ izat ions, owning all the then discovered
world that was worth :Owning, Roman Ern-
pire, answer. Gibbon, in his `‘Rise and
14'all of the Roman Empire," says "Deadr,'
and the forsaken seats of the ruined Coli.
'
seam and the skeleton of the aqueducts,
and the frasemiaszni of the Campagna, and
the fragments of the marble baths, and the
useless piers of the Bridge Triumphalis,
arid the Mamertine prison, holding no more
Apostolic prisoners and the si lent Forum and
Basilica. of Constantine, and the arch of
Titus, and the Pantheon come in with great
chorus, crying : 'it/cad, dead !" After
Horace, after Virgil, after Tacitus, after
Cicero, dead. After Horatius on the
bridge, and Cin'einnatus, the farther oli-
garch, after Pompey, after Scipio, after
Cassius, after Constantine, after Caesar,
dead. The war eagle of Rome flew so high
it was blinded by the sun. and came whirl-
ing down through the heavens, and the
owl of desolation and darkness built its
nest in the forsaken eyries -,.-Xeeican Em-
pire. dead. French Empire, dead --- -
You see, my friends, it is no 'unusual
thing for a government -to perish, and in
the same necrology of dead nations, and in
the same graveyard of expired governments
will go the United States of America unless
there be some potent voice to call a halt,
and unless God in his mercy interferes, and
through a purified ballot -box and a wide-
spread public Christian sentiment the catas-
trophe be averted. The nation is about to
go to the ballot -box to exercise the right of
suffrage, and I propose to set before you
the eviis that theeaten to destroy the Am-
erican gin -eminent, and to annihilate Am-
erican institatioris, a,nd if God,will help me
I will sbowey,ou tbefore I get through the
me'ile in Which:Tell and every am' may do
m
soething to ar eie that appalling calam-
ity. And I shall ptesv up the whole field.
The first evil Oat threatens the annihila-
tion of our American institutions is the fact
that political brihery, which once was con-
sidered acrime,hrei by many come to bacon -
mitered, a tolerable virtue. There is a legi-
timate use of Money in elections, in the
printing of political tracts, and in the hir-
ing of public- halls, and in the obtaining of
campaign oratory; bu is there any hornun-
trims who supposes h4 this vast amount of
money now bane ra, ed hy the political
parties is going Iii a legitiniale di -faction t
The vast majority of it will go' to buy votes.
Hundreds and thoimands of men will have '
set before them so much money for a Re-
publican vote, and - to much money for a
Democratic vete, and the superior financial
inducement will deside the action. You
want.to know which party will- carry the
doubtful states day after to -morrow? I
will tell you. The party that spends the
most money. This moment, while I speak,
the peddlers carrying gold from Wall street,
gold from Third Street,' gold beim - Statsi
Street, and gold from Brewers' Association,
are in all, the poliOcal headquarters of the
doubtfutstates, dealing out the infamous
ieducement.
'There used to be bribery, but • it held its
.head in shame. It Was. under the utmost
secrecy that many years ago a railroad
company bought up the Wisconsin Legis-
lature and many other public officials in
that State. The Governor ef the State at
that time received $50,000 for his signa-
ture. His private secretary received
$5,000. Thirteen 'members of the Senate
received $175,000 among them in bonds.
• Sixty members of the other House received
from .$5,000 to $10,000- each, The Lieu-
tenant -Governor received $10,006. ir,Che
clerks of the House received from $5,000
to $10,000 each. The -Bank Corriptroller
received $10,000. Two hundred and, fifty
thousand dollars were divided among the
lobbyists. You see, the railroad company
was very generous. But all that was hid-
den, and only through the severest scrutiny
on the part of a legislative committee was
this `iniquity. disPlayed. Now,: political
bribery defies you, dares you, is arrogant,
and wig probably decide the election next
Tuesday.
Unless the diabolism ceases inthis coun-
. try, Bartholdt's statte en Bedlo—e's Island,
- with uplifted torch ' to light other nations
into the harbor, had better be changed, and
the torch .dropped as a symbol ' of- universal
incendiarism.
. Unless this purchase and sale of suffrage
• shall cease, the American Govermnent will
expire, and you might as well be getting
ready the monument of another dead na-
tion, and let my text inscribe upon it these
words: "Alas! alas! for Babylon, that great
city, that mighty city, for in one hour is
thy judgment come." My friends,. if you
have not noticed that political bribery is
one of the ghastly crimes of this day, you
have not. kept your -Si -yes open. ,.
Another evil threatening the destruction
of American institutions is the solidifying
of the ,sections against each other. A
solid Nth. A solid South.. , If this goes
on Tee shall, after a while, have a solid
East against a Solid West, we shall, have,
solid Middle States against solid Northern
States, We shall hare e. solid New York
against a solid Pennsylvania and a • solid.
Ohio against a solid Kentucky. It is
twenty-seven years since the war closed,
and -yet at eve4r Presidential election the
old antagonism is aroused. When Garfield
died, and all the States gathered around his
casket in sympathy and in tears, and as
hearty telegrams OT condolence . came 'from
New Orleins and from Charleston as from
-Boston and Chicago, I said to myself, 'I i
think sectionalism is dead." But alas 1 no, -
The difficulty will never be ended until
each State of the nation is split up into two
or three great political parties. This coun-
try Cannot exist unless it ' exiatsas one
body, the national capital the heart, -send-
ing out through all the arteries communica-
tion warmth and life to the 'very extremi-
ties. This nation cannot exist unless it
exists as one family, and you might as wg11
have solid brothers against solid sisters, and
a solid bread -tray against a solid dining -
room ; and you might bs well have solid
ears against solid -eyes; and solid head
against solid foot. What is the interest of
Georgia is the interest of Massachusetts ;
what is the interest of New York is the in-
terest of South Carolina. Does the Ohio
River change its politics when it gets below
Louisville? It is not possible for those
sectional antagonisms to continue for - h
great many years Without permanent corn
--
pound fracture.
Another evil threatened the destruction
of oue American institutions in the low
state of public mcirals.
What killed Babylon of my text! What
' killed Phoenicia? What •- killed Rome? -•
Their own depravity; and the fraud and
the drunkennesgand the lechery which have
destroyed other nations will destroy ours
unless a merciful God prevent. To show
you the low state of Pnblic morals, I have
to call your attention tO the fact that many
men nominated for • offices in different
States and.at differenttiines are entirely un-
fit for the poaitions for which they have
been nominated.
They have no more qualification for them
than a wolf has qualification to be professor
of pastoral theology in a flock of sheep or a
blind mole has qualification to lecture a
• class of eagles on optics, or that a vulture
has qualification to chaperon a dove, The
mere pronunciation of some of their names
makes a demand for carbolic aid and fumi-
gation! Yet Christian • men • will follow
right on under the political standards.
I have to tell you what you know already,
that American polities have' sunken to such
a low depth that the;e is ' nothing lieneath. -
What we see in sorne. directions we: see in
nearly all directions. . The peculation and
knavery hurled to the surface by the explo-
sion of banks and business firms are only
specimens of great Cato paxie and S t ro: n hobs
of wickedness, that boil and roar and surge
beneath, but have not yet regurgitated to
the surface. When the heaven -descended
Democratic party eieteeed the Tweed it..
calitsy it scented to 'eelipse everything
tate • a while the heaveat-deeoended liej)1:1)i
licaa party,. outwitted 'Pandemonium wi tit
the zStae koute infamy.
My friends, Ave have in this country peo,
pie who say the maeriage haat:1.11HO
amounts to nothing. They seoll' at h. We
have people walking in poiite parlors in our
• day who are not good enough to he scav-
engers in Sodom ! ' I went (met- to San
Francisco ten or fifteen years ago - th al,
beautiful city, that queen Of the raciiiC.,
May the blessing of God come down upon:
her great clam:hes and her noble men and•
women ! When I got into the city of San
Francisco, the mayor of the city and the
president of the Board of Health called on
me and insisted that I go and see the Chi.
nese quarter, no doubt that• on my return
to tile Atlantic coast I might tell what
dreadful people the Chinese are. But on
the last night of my stay in San Francisco,
before thousands, of:people in their great
opera heuse, I said :- "Would you ' like me
to tell You just what I. think, .plainly and
1-1.enest1y ?" They said: "Yes, yes, yes 1"
I said : "Do you think you can stand it
all ?" They said; "Yea, yes, yes !"
'limn' ' I said, "my opinion is that the
Ouse of San Francisco is not your Chinese •
qi.arter, but your millionaire libertines !"
And two of them sat right before me -
Felix and Drusilla. And so it is in all the
eities: I never swear, but ir tien I see a-
men g� unwhipt of justice, laughing over
his shame and calling his damnable deeds
gallantry and peccadillo, I am tempted to
hurl red-hot anathema,. and to conelude
that if, according to some people's theology,
there is no hell, there ought to be !
There is enough out-and-out licentious-
ness in . American cities. to -day to bring
down upon- them the 'wrath - of that, God

THE HURON EXPOSITOR.

many of the cities look the 'other way.
,You cannot cure such wounds as these with
a silken bandage; You will have to cure
them by putting deep in the lancet of moral
'surgery ; and burning them out with the
caustic Of holy wrath and with most decis-
ive amputation butting off the scabious and
putrefying abominations. As the Romans
were after the Celts, and the Normans were
after the Britons, BO there are evils after
this nation which will attend its obsequies
unless we first attend theirs.
Superstition tells of a marlin reptile, the
cephaloptera, which enfolded and crushed a
ship of war; but Ms no superstition when
I tell you that the history of many of the
dead nations proclaims to us the. fact our
ship of state is in clanger of being crushed .
by the cephalepteret of national depravity.
Where is the Hercules to slay this hydra?
Is it not time to speak by pen, by tongue,
by bellot-box, by the rolling of the prison
door, by hangman's halter, by earnest
-prayer, by Sinaitic detonation.
A on of King Om:mitts is said to have been
dumb, and to have never uttered ea word
until he saw his father being put to death.
Then he broke the shackles of silence, and
cried out: "Kill not my father, Crcesus !"
When I see the cheate.ry and the wanton- '
nen and the manifold criMe of this country
attetripting to commit' patricide -yea, pat-
ricide upon our institutions,
it seems to me
that lips that heretofore have been dumb
ought to break the silence with sonorous
tones of fiery protest.
I .want to put all of the matter before
you,
so that every honest man and woman
willknow just how ispatters stand, and
whet they ought to do if they vote, and
what they ought to do if they pray. This
nation is not going to perish. Alexander,
when he heard of the Wealth of the Indies,
divided -Macedonia among the soldiers.
Someone asked him what he had kept for
himself, and he replied, "1 am keeping
hope r And that jewel I keep bright and
shining in my soul Whatever else I shall
surrender. Hope thou in God. He will
set back these oceanic tides of moral devas-
tation. Do youlnow what is the prize for
which contention is made to -day? It is the
prize of this continent. Never since, ac-
cording to John Milton, when "Satan was
hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal
skies in hideous ruin and combustion
down," have the powers of darkness
been so determined to win this con-
tinent as they are novel. What a jewel it
is -a jewel carved in relief, the cameo of
this planet! On one side of us the Atlantic
Ocean, dividing us frornIthe worn out gov-
ernments of Europe. On the other side the
Pacific Ocean, dividing es from the super-
stitions.of Asia. On the north of us the
Arctic Sea, which is the gymnasium in
which the explorers and navigators develop
their courage. A continent 10,500 miles
long, 17,000,000 square 'miles, and all of it
but about one-seventh capable of rioh
eilltivation. One hundred millions of
population on this continent of North
and South America-Oue hundred mill-
ions, and room for many hundred mill-
ions more. All flora and all fauna, all
metals and all precious woods, and all
grains and all fruits. The Appalachian
range. the backbone gad the rivers the
ganglia carrying life all through and out to
the extremities. Isthmus of Darien, the
, narrow' waist of a giant continent, all to be
under one government, and all free and all
Christian, and the soeneof Christ's personal
reign on earth if, according to the expecta-
tion of inany good people, He shall
at last set up His throne in this
world. Who shall have this hemisphere?
Christ or Satan? Who shall have the
shore of her inland seas, the silver of
her Nevadas, the golcof her Colorados,
the telescopes of her observatories, the
brain of her universities the wheat of her
prairies, the rice of her klavannahs, the two
great ocean beaches- he one reaching
from Baffin's Bay to Terra del Fuego, and
the other from Behring Straits to Cape
Horn -and .all the moral, and temporal,
and spiritual, and eei-histing interests of a
population vast, beyond all computation
save by Him with whoni a thousand years
are as one day Who shall have the
hemisphere? You and a will decide that
or help to decide it, by "conscientious vote,,
by earnest prayer, by maintenance of Chris-
tian institutions, by support of great philan-
thropies, by putting body, mind, and soul
on the right side of all Moral, religious, and
national movements.
Ali! it will not be long before it will not
make any difference to you or to me what
becomes of this continent, so far as earthly
comfort is concerned. All we will want of
it will be seven feet by three, and that
will take in the largest and there will be
room and to spare. That is all of this,
country we will need very soon, the young-
est of us. But we have an anxietyabout
the welfare and the happiness' of the gen-
erations that are corning on, and it will be
a grand thing if, when the archangel's
trumpet sounds, Nye find that our sepul-
chre, lilee the one .Joseph of Arimathea
provided for Christ, is in the midst of a
garami. By that time this country will be
