Th9' ministry of our day is a ministry of peace, charity and good will. This generation learns to love and servo rather than to dread and. distrust our Savior. Whatever grounds existed formerly to tempt scoffers and revilers the religion of our time disarms and silences unpredjudiced criticism. NColonel Ingersoll, whom I do not know,, lias, the reputation of being a gentleman of education, with a well stored mind and attractive personal manners, who speaks fluently and eloquently. A man' thus gifted ,can do much good but much more evil, accord ing to the principles espoused and. the line of conduct marked out for himself. 1 Colonel Ingersoll,1 it seems, upon his en trance into active life, chose the left instead of the right pathway, and be comes a reviler of, instead of a believer in, a religion which has been making the -world wiser, better arid happier for nineteen centuries. "Without ques tioning Colonel Ingersoll's sincerity or impugning his motives, I am persuaded that if half the'time and labor expend ed in fortifying himself with argu ments against religion had been devot ed to an intelligent and impartial con sideration of the evidences establishing its truths, the. country would, have had instead of a reviler, a gifted follower of Him whose misson,' labors and char- actor, viewed merely from a worldly stand point, inspire. ariration, affec tion and gratitude. Is it not, there fore, painful to see men richly endow ed, perverting their gifts, misusing their talents in presumptions revilings and ribald jestings against a Creator and a Savior from whom every earthly bounty and blessing emanate! No act of the Savior's life, and no word He ever uttered, has been or can be con strued or tortured into hostility to the wellfare and happiness of every mem ber of the human family. Human laws are founded upon the divine law. Ail that concerns our happiness here and our hopes of happiness hereafter is de rived ;frorn the Scriptures. On the other hand, what has infidelity done for usf Who profits by its teachings After,depriying its followers "oftheir belief in the luture, how does it com peusatetheml What does it offer in exchange for a life of immortality? If, for example, Colonel Ingersoil should be summoned to the bedside of a dying friend or rela'tivcj what words of com fort or hope could he offer? Of what service could he be to that-stricken friend! Would.he, aggravate the suffer ings of one whose last hours needed soothing bv telling him' there was noth ine 'iut the cold dark, grave awaiting him? This cruel theory is repelled not only by the revelation but by the laws of nature. Nature is instinct. with evi dence and confirmation of the truths of revelation. The products of .the earth live and die annually. .The 'buried acorn reproduces the living oak. And yet infidelity insists that man the im age of his Creator, wonderfully nndow ed'and gifted, under whose auspices the world "has been enlightened, elovat e;l an 1 adorned, is, after a brief exis ence, to be as though He had never been. Contrast the lalors,of " Voltaire and Paine with those of John Wesjey. Can it be said with truth that the 'formpr two made any one better or happier? Hundredsof thousands of the followers of JohnAVesley have lived and. died, and other hundreds of thousands sur vive, rejoicing in their conversion from a sinful to a Christian'' life. The memory of Wesley is everywhere cher ished by the good and pure,-while Vol taire and Paine are only remembered for the evil rather than the good they did. If it be urged that the promises of the Savior have not all been realiz ed, that sin still abounds and. that the world is as had. as ever, it may btv an swered that religion is marking out its mission; thaF its benign influences'are constantly extending, and that light is . .? radiating.- the darkest recessesof hea thenism and idolatry- It requires no argument to demonstrate the fact that our race is improved by civilization, or that civilization owes its origin and progress to religion. To religious in fluences we are indebted for all the re forms which benefit society. Our Sun day schools were instituted in obedi ance iff a divine command.. In these schools children are taught, "without money and without price," all that con cerns their present wellfare and their future happinc3i.WDieso intellectual nursenas have enrichedand fertilized, and continue to enrich and fertilize, every city, village, hamlet and house hold throughout the Christian world. If religion had done nothing more than to bless our race with the consecrating influences of Sunday Schools, scoffers should bo shamed into silence. Oar city furnishes many' examples of the beneficence of religion. Forty years ago a locality too well known as the "Five Points," with a population of several thousands, was the home of the vilest of the viic, and the-resort of others equally debased. Men, women, and children of all nationalities and colors herded together, differing only in the degrees of crime and the depths of profligacy habitually practiced. Their days were passed In cither idle ness 'or depredations. . Their nights were spent in dance-house debaucher ies. All heal thy or wholesome influences were excluded. .Children grew up to become either street beggars or in mates of the Alms House, and their parents filled penitentiaries and pris ons. These orgies coiitinued year after year, defiant and aggressive, until that pandemonium was invaded by Chris tian men and -women whose patience would not tire, whose courage was in domitable, and w'hoso devotion has been rewarded by a moral and religious reformation 30 complete that no part' of our city is now more quiet and or derly'"tlia.n the once dreaded "Five Points." Thousands of children then growing up either vagabonds or cul prits are now attending schools in which they are stimulated by precept and example to live industrious and virtuous lives. Instead, therefore, of sending forth idle, ignorant and vic ious children to prey upon society, the destitute and orphan children of the "Five Points." prepared for usefulness by moral, and religious training, find happy homes iff our rapidly developing Western States and Territories. Again, eight years ago Water street and its surroundings Eastward from Peck slip had a notoriety almost as un enviable as that of the "Five Points." That region was rife with drunken ness, burglaries, pugulism and their kin dred vices. Jerry McAuley was- con spicuous in all that waswicked and de moralizing. He had the reputation of being a terror to the precinct, a reputa tion which,- by his ownfeonfession, was deserved. But this disturber of tho public peace was converted, and then he resolved to devote the remainder of his life to hisinaster, andwith a faith ful, affectionate wifo as a helper, he has abundantly atoned for all his of fences. For a long time the hisses and bowlings of his former associates ser iously disturbed, his meetings, hut cour age, perseverance and patience finally prevailed, and his work now progresses without interruption. The 'general character of the neighborhood has been improved; its social and moral tone and atmosphere have been purified. Sailor hoarding houses have been" "reformed. Sailor? now carry their Bibles with t'ipm to sea. M'"d andSan"fy hymns are sung in , forecastles. Hundreds ot half naked and Iiun2rv wives and chil dren, by the conversation of drunken husbands and fathers, now rejoice in comfortable and - nappy homes. The Mission Church is crowded every week dav and evening and three times on. Sunday-with intelligent Christian men and women, who, rescued from garrets and gutters, are now reputable citizens enjoying the fruits.of their industry, and relating with gratpful hearts the. miseries of their past, the jbvs of their present, and 'the hopes of their future. By nil who "went to scoff, but remain ed to pray," Jerry McAuTey and his exemplary ifeare regarded with affec tion, and will be remembered with gratitude. Infidels of all ages found their strongest arguments against revealed religion upon what they regard as ira- I probable. And yet we are not called on to btlievenythlng more incompre hensible than our own existonce. We might, with about tho same degree of reason, deny this fact as to refuse to believe in afuture existence. ' We'know that we live in this world. Is it un reasonable to believo that we may liye in another world! If we are to believe nothing but what we understand, we should go through life incredulous and aimless. We are ready enough to be lievo on information the things that- re late o this world, but we are slow to belieyo in,: pfbphecy'an J-reyelationJ- though both are corroborated by ob servation,' experience and events. In fidelity, claiming superiority in "rea son" and common sense, asks us to be lieve that all of grandeur and sublimity, all of vastness anil power in the beau tiful heavens andupon the bountiful earth comes "by chance; that everything lis self-created and self-existing, and that law, order and harmony are acci dents. Those who accept this theory would find its application to their bus iness affairs anything but advanta geous, infidelity and communism are kindred in character, and aim by dif ferent mothods to undermine the sanctions and securities upon which the worlds welfare and happiness res. Infidelity strikes at religion, commun ism at property. One seeks to weaken our faith and the other demands for the idle and worthless an equal share in the savings of the industrious and frugal. Agrarianism (communism of a milder type) came to ua some forty years ago from Eugland,"with Fanny Wright and Robert Dale Owen as its apostles. Tim bad clement has been reinforced by communism from France and Germany. All three are working out their desructive mission in a city where unhappily they find co-operation and sympathy. To these birds of ill omen comes infidelity equally aggress-! ive; with Robert G. Ingersoll as its teacher. If it be said that, unlike the communistic-leaders, Mrvlngersoll is a "gentleman and & scholar," the danger is thereby intensified. Tho wonder is why a man of good character and as sociations should take a pleasure in 4 teachings whose practical effort is to make his- readers and hearers worse instead of better cit izens. Tho strongest argument urged against Christianity, from, the davs of Voltaire and Paine, is that had men mako a profession of it; that hypocrites aro found in all our churches. This is true. But is it not equally true that everything intrinsic ally valuable gets debased? Frauds are practiced in business. The richest fabrics have their imitations. Gold and silver coins are debased or counter feited. The evils, however, resulting from impositions of this nature are not serious. The intelligence of our peo ple and the penal ties to which offend ers are subjected afford adequate pro tection, and for one hypocrite who makes a false profession there aro a least nine conscientious, devoted Chris tians. Another argument against re ligion is that our Savior was an impos tor and that as a corollaryjiis teach ings exert a baneful influence. And yet both of tho accusations are disproved by the experience of 2,000 years. If JesuB of Nazareth had been an impos tor, his name and everything connect ed with it would'hardly have survived a second , generation.- -Thero would then have heen no occasion for the la bors of Voltaire, Paine or Ingersoll. Other and numerous false teachers have appeared and disappeared. But tirao and truth have been attestipg the divinity of our "Savior. His apos"tle and. their successors, in obedience to in struction's, have carried .and are carry ing f,lad tidings to the uttermost- ends of tho earth. As far and as fast as this gospel travels the world is civiliz ed and its inhabitants lencfited. Civilization and its beneficial insti tutions abound by tho religion which our Savior instructed his ntiostlps to preach to tho heathen. Geographical lines are not more distinctly extahlish edithan those which mark the progress of missionaries; and,- while religious light brightens the Christian world, its rays dawn upon the darkest por tions of the earth. What have the doctrines of Confucius, Mohammed and other false teachers done for their followers but to hold them for centur ies in ignorance and barbarism? But returning to our city, lot us con trast, the labors of two prominent co temporary te;vchers one, Mr. Ztloody, a Christian, and tho other, Mr. Ingrr sdll, an infidel missionary. Mr21(.ndy: is self-made and self-educated. 3Ir. Ingersoll is a gentleman pft-Juc-.it ion, culture and refinement. That ilr. Moody's labors have been in the high est degree beneficial to-all classes will not be denied. The highest and hum blest listened with charmed interest, and all left the Tabernacle better and "happier. The general effect both of his preaching and supplemented by' 'the never-to-be-forgotten voice uucre 01 me ciiv. J no labors of Moody and Sankey were practical. They not only asked "What shall the harvest be," but they obtained in- their inquiry-rooni3 gratifying responses to their questions. Hundreds of drunk ards were Te-claimed, gamblers and prize fighters were converted. Desti tute wives and children and desolate homes have been made happy and bright by the rescue and return of re formed husbands and fathers. Long and gratefully will the advent of Moody and Sankey be remembered Tho city is still fragrant with Taberna cle memories. Mr. Moodv is turninc tho results of his labor toaood account. The Moody and Sankey hymns, well known to the Christian world, aro now sung by native converts in the interior of Africa. The sale of these hymn-books produces a handsome fund twiich Air. Moody devotes to mission ary purposes- At his home in North field, Mass., he has erected a suitable building for a mission school and home for Indian girls, some fifty of whom from the far West have already been received. Mr. Moody, therefore, has taken up and will carry on the good work so auspiciously commenced by tho late lamented Father Dc-Smet. And now I invite Mr. Incersoll or anv of his followers to inform the nublic how and to what extent they have profited by his uii.jji mis city, wnat saiutai'y 'reforms i . M inaugurated, or even sujrcestcd. or in what manner and to what ' extent he has contributed to the goneral welfare or happiness of his fellow citizens. TiltTRLOW WEED. UIUTAQT CANDIDATES. Some little time before the Cincin. nati nomination Colonel L. Q. Wash ington of Virginia addressed a letter to the Richmond "Commonwealth," the leading Democratic organ of tho State, giving his views of the Presiden tial situation. Colonel Washington as sumed that Grant would - be the Re publican canidate, and starring with that assumption, he said: Whether Grant can be beaten or not depends upon the question who is to run against him. If Mr. Tilden'is pitted against, him Tihlen wil; be beaten'over wholmingly. Hancock in ray opinion would make even a worse breakdown than Tilden. The latter has rare ex. cutive ability, large civil experience and a good knowledge of men. No body could say that ho would not be President himself. It is different with the purely professional soldiers. They are as unfit for fcreat civic trusts aa tho politicians are to be generals of the armies. Put a West Pointer in the Presidential office and he would be sure to be an instrument in the hands of some ring or other, political or military. The Republicans, who are fond of the rule of the sword, might indeed rally on 8jJcharAiidiihit but takerny word for. It,. th9.-JCk111.0-cratic party cannot be railiVflf&uept ., under the banner of a statesman"' " The "Commonwealth" indorsed the views of its correspondent; and the great majority of th Democratic press throughout the country expressed simi lar jopinions in regard to the unfitness of "military men" for the Presidency. With great unanimity they -demanded "a statesman." The letter from which wo have quoted met with such heaity approval in the highest Demo cratic circles that it was reprinted on a broadside sheet to be circulated as a campaign document, for the purpose o influencing public opinion" against Gon eral Grant, it being confidently be lieved at the time that he would re ceive the Chicago nomination. We have a curious illustration of the per fect discipline' of .the Democratic party and its blind, unreasoning obedience to authority, in tho fact that the mo ment Haneock,'8 nomination was an nounced all the organs and partv lead ers promptly swallowed their object ions to a military man, and legan to cry with one accord that the salvation of the country depended upon the elec tion often West.
