6 v THE WIXiMLlNixTOis' MESSENGER, FRIDA Y, JHLT 20. L000. MIGHTY ANTISEPTIC CHRISTIAN RELIGION AS A PREVEN TIVE OF THE WORLD'S ILLS. It is an Active Principle, Says Dr. Tal mase, Which Constantly Works for the Welfare of the Body, Mind and Sonl. Dr. Talmage Is now traveling in Nor way, where he has been deeply Inter ested in the natural phenomena and the quaint social life of that wonder ful land. In his discourse this week he argues, contrary to the opinion of many, that religion is an active prin ciple which works constantly for the -welfare of the body, mind and soul. His text is Luke xiv, 34, "Salt is Good." The Bible is a dictionary of the finest similes. It employs, among living crea tures, storks and eagles and doves and unicorns and sheep and cattle; among trees, sycamores and terebinths and pomegranates and almonds and apples; I . , , . . among jewels, pearls and amethysts and jacinths and chrysoprases . soprases. Christ uses no stale illustrations. The lilies that he plucks for his sermons are dewy fresh; the ravens in his discourses are not stuffed specimens of birds, but warm with life from wing tip to wing tip; the fish he points to are not dull about the gills, as though long cap tured, but a-squirm in the wet net just brought up on the beach of Tiberias. In my text, which is the peroration of one of his sermons, he picks up a crys tal and holds it before his congrega- tion as an illustration of divine grace in the heart, when he says, what we all know by experiment, "Salt is good." I shall try to carry out the Saviour's idea in this text and in the first place say to you that grace is like salt in its beauty. In Galicia there are mines of salt, with excavations and underground passages reaching, I am told, 2S0 miles Far under ground there are chapels and halls of reception, the columns, the altars and the pulpits of salt. When the king and princes come to visit these mines, the whole place is illuminated, and the glory of crystal walls and crystal ceilings and crystal floors and crystal columns, unaer me giare oi . xne way to come at it The salt on the torches and the lamps, needs words j the surface is almost always impure of crystal to describe it.

I am speaking now of a hpalthv rplicrion not of that morbid religion that sits for three hours on a gravestone reading Harvey's "Medita- tions Among the Tombs" a religion that prospers best in a bad state of the liver! I speak of the religion that Christ preached. I suppose when that religion has conquered the world that disease will be banished and that a man a hun dred years of age will come in from business and say: "I feel tired. I think It must be time for me to go," and "without one physical pang heaven will have him. But the chief beauty of grace Is in the soul. It takes that which was hard and cold and repulsive and makes it all over again. It pours upon one's na ture what David calls "the beauty of holiness." It extirpates everything that lis hateful and unclean. If jealousy and pride and lust and worldliness lurk about, they are chained and have a very small sweep. Jesus throws upon the soul the fragrance of a summer garden as he comes in, saying, "I am the rose of Sharon," and he submerges it with the glory of a spring morning when he says, "I am the light." Oh, how much that grace did for three Johns! It took John Bunyan, the foul mouthed, and made him John Bunyan, the immortal dreamer. It took John Newton, the infidel sailor, and in the midst of the hurricane made him cry out, "My mother's God. have mercy upon me!" It took John Summerfield from a life of sin and. by the hand of a Christian maker of edge tools, led him into the pulpit that bums still with the lLght of that Christian elo quence which charmed thousands to the Jesus whom he once despised. Ah, you may search all the earth over for anything so beautiful or beautifying as the grace of God. Go all through the deep mine passages of Wieliczka and amid the underground kingdoms of salt in Hallstadt, and show me any thing so exquisite, so transcendently beautiful as the grace of God fashion ed and hung In eternal crystals. THE NECESSITY OF LIFE. Again, grace is like salt In the fact that it is a necessity of life. What are those paths across the western prai ries? Why, they -were made there by deer and buffalo going to and coming away from the salt "licks." Chemists and physicians all the world over tell us that salt is a necessity of life. And so with the grace of God; you must have it or die. I know a freat many rwaJc of it as a mere adornment, a .-rt of shoulder strap adorning a sol- jipr. or a light, frothing dessert brought in after the greatest part of the banquet or me is over, or a meai cine to be taken after powders and ctarf! roasters have failed' to do their work, hut ordinarily a mere su n. string of bells around a horse's neck, while he draws the load; and in no wise helping him to draw it. vtt that. I declare the grace r thp first and the last ne- XbSE. It : is food we must. take or fltarve into an eternity of iamme. h -nMtfemit -which we freeze to the mast of Infinite terror. It Is the plank, and the only plank, on which we can float shoreward. It Is tne xaa der, and the only ladder, on which we can climb up Into the light. It Is a positive necessity for the soul. You can tell very easily what the effect would be if a person refused to take salt Into the body The energies would fall, the lungs would struggle with the air, slow fevers would crawl through the brain, the heart would flutter, and the life would be gone. Salt is a necessity for the life of the body; the grace of God a necessity for the elif of the soul. salt in abundance. God has strewn salt in vast profusion all over the conti nents. Russia seems 'built on a salt cellar. There Is one region of that country that turns out 90,000 tons a year. England and Russia and Italy have inexhaustible resources In this re spect. Norway and Sweden, white with enow above, white with salt beneath. Austria, yielding 900,000 ton's annually. Nearly all the nations rich In It rock salt, spring salt, sea salt. Christ, the Creator of the world, when he uttered our text, knew it would become more and more significant as the shafts were sunk and the springs were bored and the pumps were worked and the crystals were gathered. So the grace of God is abundant"! It is for all lands, for all ages, for all conditions. It seems to undergird everything. Pardon for the worst sin. comfort for the sharpest suffering, brightest light for the thick- fs darkness. Around about the salt via oai x iu v mere are lv.uuv men toilinr dv aTwl ' T c ', " "- J - m V jr never exhaust the saline treasures. exnaust the saline treasures. : And if the 1.600,000,000 of our race j should now cry out to God for his mercy there would be enough for all . for those farthest gone in sin, for the : murderer standing on the drop of the . gallows. It is an ocean of mercy; and if Europe and Asia, Africa, North and South America and all the islands of the sea went down in it today they would have room enough to wash and . come up clean. Let no man think that his case is too tough a one for God to act upon. Though your sin may be deep and raging, let me tell you that wxi s grace Is a bridge not built on earthly piers, but suspended and span- ning the awful chasm of your guilt one end resting upon the rock of eter nal promises and the other on the foundations of heaven. Demetrius wore a robe so incrusted with jewels that no one after him ever dared to wear it, but our King, Jesus, takes off the robe of his righteousness, a robe blood dyed and heaven impearled, and reach- es it out to the worst wretch in nil th earth and says: "Put that on! Wear it now! Wear it forever!" PURE BELOW THE SURFACE. Again the CTace of dnfi i uta c-it in - wv b,ut the Pure white salt at the bottom of soul is exposed to the sun of right eousness, the vapors of pride and sel fishness and worldliness float off, and there ds chiefly left beneath pure -white holiness of heart. Then, as in the case or the salt the furnace is added. Blaz- ,n irouoies, surrea Dy smuuea stOK- ers of darkness, quicken the evapora tion of worldliness, and the crystalli zation of grace. SWEETNESS OF RELIGION. Have you not ben in enough trouble to have that work go on? I was read- 3ng of Aristotle, who said there was a fields of flowers in Sicily so sweet that onoe a hound, coming on the track of game, came to that field and was be wildered by the perfumes and so lost the track. Oh, that our souls might become like "a field which the Lord hath blesed" and exhale so much of the swetness of Christian character that the hounds of temptation, coming on our track, might lose lit and go howling back with -disappointment. But, I remark again, that the grace of God is like the salt in its preserva tive quality. You know that salt ab sorbs the moisture of articles of food and infuses them with brine, which preserves them for a long while. Salt is .the great antiputrefactor of the world. Experimenters, in preserving food, have tried sugar and smoke and airtight jars and everything else, but as long as the world stands Christ s word will be sugestive, and men will admit that as a great preservative salt is good." But for the grace of God the earth would have become a stale carcass long before this. That grace is the only preservative of laws and constitutions and literatures. Just as soon as a government loses this salt of divine grace dt perishes. The phil osophy of this day, so far as it is an tagonistic to his religion, putrefies and stinks. The great want of our schools of learning and our institutions of science to-day is, not more Leyden jars and galvanic bateries and spectro scopes and philosophical apparatus, but more of that grace that will teach our men of science that the God of the universe is the God of the Bible. How strange it is that in ail their magnificent sweep of the telescope they have not seen the morning star of Jesus and that in all their experiments with Dght and heat (they have not seen the light and felt the warmth of the Sun of Righteousness! We want more of the salt of God's grace in our homes in our Bchools, in our colleges, in our social life, in our Christianity. And that which has it will live; that which has it not will die. I proclaim the tendency of everything earthly to pu- itref action and death the religion of Christ the only preservative. Mv sublect In one of great congratu lation to those who have within .their souls .this gospel antiseptic This salt will nreserve them through tne tempia lions and sorrows of life and through the aea of eternity. I do not mean to sav that you will have a smooth time (because you are a Christian. In the contrary, if you do your wnoie auij-, x will nramLv von a rough time. You march through an enemy's country, and they will try to double up both flanks and to cut you off from your source of suDolies.

But why do I talk like an atheist when I ought to say I know he will? "Kept by the power of God through faith unto complete salvation." THE PIVOTAL BATTLE. When Governor Geary of .Pennsyl vania died, years ago. I lost a good friend. He impressed me mightily with the horrors of war. In the eight hours that we rode together in the cars he recited to me the scenes through which he had passed in the civil war. He said that there came one bxttle upon everything seemed to pivot. Telegrams from Washington said that the life of the nation depended on that struggle. He said to me: "I went into that battle, sir, with my son. His mother and I thought everything of him. -You know how a father will feel toward his son who is coming up manly and brave and good. 'Well, thej battle opened and concentered, and it was awful. Horses and riders bent and twisted and piled up together. It was awful, sir. We quit firing and took to the point of the bayonet. Well, sir, I didn't feel like myself that day. I had prayed to God for strength for that particular battle, and I went into it feeling that I had in my right arm the strength of ten giants." And as the governor brought his arm down on the 'back of the seat it fairly made the car tremble. "Well," he said, "the battle was desperate, but aftr a while we gained a little and we marched on a little. I turned round to the troops and shouted, 'Come on boys!' and I stepped across a dead soldier, and. lo, it was my son! I saw at rthe first glance he was dead, and yet I did not dare to stop a minute, for the crisis had come in the battle. So I just got down on my knees, and I threw my arms around him. and I gave him one good kiss and said, "Goodby, dear,' and sprang up and shouted, xome on boys!' " So it is in the Christian con flictit is a fierce fight. Eternal s.ges seem depending on the strife. Heaven is waiting for the bulletins to an nounce the tremendous issue. Hall of shot, gash of sabre, fall of battleax, irroaninsr on every side. We cannot stop for loss or bereavement or any thing else. With one ardent embrace and one loving kiss we utter our fare wells and then cry: "Come on boys! There are other heights to be cap tured; there are other foes to be con quered; there are other crowns to be won." Yet, as one of the Lord's surgeons, I must bind up two or three wounds. Just lift them now, whatever they be. I have been told there is nothing like salt to stop the (bleeding of a wound, and so I take this salt of Christ's gos pel and put in on the lacerated soul. It smarts a little at nrst, out see tne bleeeding stops, and lo, the flesh comes again as ithe flesh of a little child "Salt is good." "Comfort one another with these words." (Copyrighted, 1900, by Louis Klopsch.) CAMPAIGN NOTES. Mount Airy News: Quite a number of republicans in Surry will cast their votes for the amendment, 'lnis is fndeed good news and leads us to pre diet 250 to 300 majority for the amend ment in Surry. Some friends of this great measure are claiming Surry by 700 majority. Wadesboro Messenger: Nearly all participated in the recent democratic primaries and are heartily and enthusi astically in favor of the amendment. That they were gladly welcomed back by their white neighbors goes without saying. Raleigh News and Observer:: Greens boro, N. C, July 13. The county can didates have opened the canvass in this county. Mr. Starbuck, candidate for the senate on the republican ticket, was not present on the first two ap pointments, and Mr. J. C. Meekins filled his place. Those who heard Mr. Meekins said that he made the dirtiest kind of a speech. He went out of his way to abuse the good people of Tyr rell cou y, going so far as to speak in the lowest manner of the women of his old county. Here's the sort of meetings the fusionists are having all over the state: The Wilson Times says that "the populist county canvass ad vertised as 'an alliance picnic,' was at Lucama yesterday, and we are inform ed had thirty-one white folks demo crats and populists and forty ne groes." Representative Atwater writes that Chatham is no longer a doubtful county, but will give a ma jority for White Supremacy. He is con-1 fined at home by sickness, but expects to resume the campaign next week. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the pub lic to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

Some of the vicious negroes of Guil dford county fortunately they repre sent a minority of their race here are doing more to demonstrate the ne cessity oC a constitutional amendment Just now than all the stump speakers in the state combined. Greensboro Patriot. We have livd to e the republican party in tiiis feiate shed crocodile tears in copious showers for the poor white man, who are abundantly able to take care of themselves. After this there is no accounting for what may happen, and we should not be surprised to see the negroes turn white. Durham Her ald. A Greensboro man whose character has been attacked by a lawyer while he was appearing as a witness in a case, took the first opportunity after the adjournment of court to assault the lawyer. The witness has our sym pathy and we hope he gave the lawyer a good one. There is entirely too much of this sort of .thing in our courts, and. the law seems to afford witnesses no protection. Durham Her ald. . The desperation of the fusionists is beginning to know no bounds. With the failure to disrupt the democratic party by every falsehood known, they were enraged, and their rage increased as they saw the democrats in solid line when the campaign had gotten underway good and the mists had been cleared away. But this is nothing com pared with their chagrin and disap pointment when they beheld the begin ning of a large exodus from their ranks of the best and most honorable men of their party. The populist as a party, have deserted them, and many of the best republicans are doing so every day Greensboro Telegram. When the negroes elect a white man to an office we have negro rule and likewise when negroes hold office we have negro rule. This is bound to be so. The office holder is bound to rep resent the people who elect him. He is bound to respect, and love and ad mire and praise and feel near to the people who put him in office. Then it is just as plain as noon day sun that we have negro rule when white men are elected by negro rule. The negroes say this is true, and also say that they would not vote such a ticket if they did not know it. On this subject no white man can dispute the negro's word. Lexington Dispatch. Charles B. Aycock has gone east, having finished a canvass of the moun tain counties the like of which finds no comparison in the popular mind this side the Vance campaign of 1S76. It is the very highest praise to speak of it as worthy of comparison with the one in 1876; but there is no need to go further. There was never but one Vance, and a century will perhaps roll by before his equal is seen. A man may well deem himself highly honored to have his name mentioned not alongside but in the same cate gory w-ith that of the stupendous prodigy of mirth, valor and, wisdom, who wrought our first great deliver ance from reconstruction woes. Time but deepens the impression left upon the state's character by that master ful man. Morganton Herald. Unless registrars stand firm, the Black-and-Tan gang will have every negro "boy on the books and secure the registration of ten thousand South Carolina and Virginia darkeys as they did in 18. The federal prosecution "bluff" will not scare any democrat. It will be thrown out of court when it gets into courts not under the domi nation of Holton and Blackburn. The Charlotte Observer says that "more than five hundred negroes in Charlotte township, when asked by the list tak ers if they had made tax returns a year ago, stated that they had not made such returns, and a great many of these gave, as their reason, the as sertion that they had come to this township from South Carolina since the first of Jftnuary. Raleigh Observer. The proud brave Anglo race has never won the fetters of political af filiations and domination of an infe rior race long. And just as sure as old ocean breaks down the barrier that holds it in unnatural bounds, just so sure will the white race break the fetters of negro domination. There is no use of trying to battle agamst this ocean of power and influence of the white race; its wave of popular demand may beat quietly, but inces santly for a time, but it does not move out of its path the obstacle that restrains its freedom, blocks its pro gress, or degrades its manhood, then there comes a time when a fearful storm arises, and that storm of popu lar wrath -will sweep away every ob stacle ithat impedes its progress to a higher realm of thought and action. Winston Journal. In his speech here yesterday r - 'e Adams, the republican candidate for governor, said that if the negro vote was eliminated that the democratic party would be eliminated utterly in North Carolina; that the democrats knew that the amendment would not eliminate the negro and that they did not want it eliminated. Judge Adams idea was of course to present the con tention that the democratic party thrives and has its being entirely on the coJor line. If he really believes this it is passing- strange that he and other republicans do not join with the democrats and help to eliminate the negro vote; that -would be a quick way to get rid of the democratic par ty. So far as the Landmark is con cerned it is free to say that if the color line all that holds the democratic party together in this state, then we are willing to abolish the negro as a political factor and let the party go. If the democratic party can only thrive on prejudice then let it go to pieces. But Judge Adams knows better. Statesville Landmark. Dyspepsia (Cure Digests what you eat.
