DE WITT TALMAGE'S SERMON. How Children Ought to be lit ought Up. Sin that Are Inherited If You Do Not Live Bight Yourselves, You Can not Expect Your Children to lo So. Brooklyn, Noy. 2L The Hev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., preached in the Brooklyn Tabernacle this morning on the subject: "What is to Become of Our Children F The opening hymn begins: Come, let us join our friends above Who have obtained the prize; And on the eagle wins of lore To joys celestial rise. After expounding, from Genesis xlix, Jacob's wonderful discrimination of the char acteristics of his sons, the preacher took for his text Genesis xliv, 30: "Seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life," and deliv ered the following discourse: These words were spoken by Judah as de scriptive of the tenderness and affection which Jacob felt toward Benjamin, the youngest son of that patriarchal family; but they are words just as appropriate to many a parent in this house since "his life is bound up in the lad's life." I have known parents that seemed to have but little interest in their children., A father says: "My son must look out for himself. If he comes up well, all right; if he turns out badly I cannot help-it. I am not responsible for his behavior. He must take the same lisk in life that I took." As well might the shepherd throw a lamb into a den of lions and then say: "Little lamb, look out for yourself!" It is generally the case that even the beast looks after its young. I have gone through the woods on a summer's day, and I have beard a great outcry in a bird's nest, and I have climbed up to see what was the matter. I found out that the birds were starving and that the mother bird had gone off not to come back aga n. But that is an exception. It is generally the case that the old bird will pick your eyes out rather than let you come nigh its brood. The lion will rend you in twain if you approach too nearly the whelps; the fowl in the barnyard, clumsy footed and heavy winged, flies fiercely at you if you come too near the little group, and God in tended every father and mother to be the protection and the help of the child. Jesus comes into every dwelling and says to the father or mother: "You have been looking after this child's body and mind; the time has come when you ought to be looking after its immortal soul." I stand before hundreds of people with whom the question morning. noon and night is: "What is to become of the child? What will be its history? Will it choose paths of virtue or vice? Will it ac cept Christ or reject him? Where will it spend eternity?" I read of a vessel that foundered. The boats were launched ; many of the passengers were struggling in the water. A mother with one hand beat the waves, and with the other hand lifted up the little child toward the lifeboat, crying: "Save my child Save my child!" The impassioned outcry of that mother is the prayer of hundreds of Christian people who sit listening this morning while I speak. I propose to show some of the causes of parental anxiety, and then how that anx iety may be alleviated. I find the first cause of parental anxiety in the inefficiency and imperfection of parents themselves. We have a slieht hone, all of us, that our children may escape our faults. We hide our imperfections, and think they will steer clear of them. Alas, there is a poor prospect of that ! There is more probability that they will choose our vices than choose our virtues. There is something like sacred- ness in parental imperfections when the child looks upon them The folly of the parents is not so repulsive when the child looks at it. He says: "Father indulges in it; mother in dulges in it; it can't be so bad." Your boy, 10 jrears or age, goes up a back street smok ing his cigar an old stump th.it he found in the street and a neighbor accosts him and says: "What are you doing this for? What would your father say if he knew it?" The boy says: "Oh. father does that himself!" There is not one of us this morning that would deliberately choose that his children should in all things follow his example, and it is the consciousness of imperfection of our part as parents that makes us most anxious for our children. We are also distressed on account of the unwisdom of our discipline and instruction. It requires a great deal of ingenuity to build a house or fashion a ship, but more ingenu ity to build the emple of a child's character and launch it on the great ocean of time and eternity. Where there is one parent that seems qualified for the work there seem to be twenty parents who miserably fail. Here is a father who says: "My child shall know nothing but religion; he shall hear nothing but religion; he shall see nothing but religion. " The boy is aroused at 0 o'clock in the morning to recite the Ten Command merits. He is awakened off the sofa on Sun day night to see how much he knows of the Westminster catechism. It is religion moi ing, noon and night. Passages of Scripture are plastered on the bedroom wall. He looks for the day of the month in a religious alma nac. Every minister that comes to the house is told to take the boy aside and talk to him and tell him what a great sin ner he is. After a while the boy comes to that period of life when he is too old for chastisement, and too young to know and feel the force of morai principle. Father and mother are sitting up for the boy to come home. It is nine o'clock at nicrht ten o'clock it is twelve o'clock it is half past twelve, and they hear the night key jingle in the door. They say he is coming. George goes very softly through the hall, hoping to get up stairs before he is accosted. The father says, "George, where have you been?" "Been out!" Yes, he has been out, and he has been down, and he is on the broad road to destruction, for this life and the life to come. Father says: "There is no use in the Ten Commandments; the catechism seems to me to be an utter failure. " Ah, my friend, you make a very great mistake. You stuffed that child with religion until he could not digest it; you made that which is a-joy in many households an abhorrence in yours. A man in midlife said to me: "I can't become a Christian. In my father's house I got such a prejudice against religion , I don't want anv of it. My father was one of the best men that ever lived, but he had such severe notions about things, and he jammed re ligion down my throat, until I don't want anv of it. sir." There have been some who have erred in that direction. Thpre are households where mother pulls rnrav on.i nthr nulls the other. Father Rftvs? "My son. I told you the first time I caught you in a falsehood I would chastise you, and now I am going to do it." Mother . MTVm't if, him off this time." In some f.miliM it is all scolding and fretfulness with the child; from Monday morning to Satur day night it is that style of culture. The boy is picked at, and picked at, and picked at. ww vn mi-ht better give one sound chas tisement and have done with it, than to In dulge in the perpetual scolding and fretful ness! There is more health in one good thunderstorm than in three or four days of Here is a parent who says: ttI will not err iAa that narent has erred, in being too strict with his children. I will let mine do as they please. If they want to come in to prayers, they can; if they want to play at cards, they can; they can do anything they 1 .ci,.ii K Tin hindrance. Go it I tt , HVot for the onera and theatre, son. - Take your friends with you. Do what ever you desire." One day a gentleman comes KanV to his father's office and Lnri, n,t A baa von over at the bank a I minute." Father goes into the bank. The cashier says: "Is that your check r Father looks at it and says: "No; I never gave that check. I never cross a,4t' in that way; I never make the curl to a y' in that way. It is not my check; that's a forgery. Send for the police." "Ah," says the cashier, "don't be so quick; your son did that.' The fact was that the boy had been out in dissipating circles, and $10 and $50 went in that direct tion; and he had been treated and he had to treat others; and the boy felt he must have fcSOOto keep himself in that circle. That night the father sits up for the son to come home. It is 1 o'clock before he comes into tho hall He comes in very much flushed, Lis eyes glaring and his breath offensive. Father says: aMy sou, how can you do so? I have given you everything you wanted and everything to make you comfortable and happy, and now I find, in my old age, that you are a spendthrift, a libertine and a drunkard." The son says: "Now, father, what's the use of your talking in that way? n v .... . xou low me i mirft nave a rood time and to go it. I have been acting on vour fni- gestion, that's all." And so ono parent errs one side, and another narent errs on lh other, and how to strik.j a happy medium be tween severity and too great leniency, and train our sons and daughters for usefulness on earth and bliss in heaven, is a question which agitates every Christian household in my congregation. Where so man v cood men and women have failed, it is strange that we should sometimes doubt the propriety of our theory and the accuracy of our kind of gov ernment. Again, parental anxiety often arises from an early exhibition of sinfulness in the child. The morning glories bloom for a little while under the sun, and then they shut up as the heat comes on ; but there are flowers along the Amazon that blaze their beauty for weeks at a time; but the short lived morning glory nil nils its mission as well as tho Victoria Regia. There are some people who take forty, fifty or sixty years to develop. Then there nre little children who fling their beauty on the vision and vanish. They are morning glories that cannot stand the glare of the hot noon sun of trial. You have all known such little children. They were pale; they were ethereal; there was something very wonder fully deep m the eye; they had a gentle foot and soft hand, and something almost super natural in their lehavior ready to be wafted away. You had such a one in your house hold. Gone now ! It was too delicate a plant for this rough world. The heavenly gardener saw it and took it in. We make splendid Sunday school books out of such children, but they almost always die. I have noticed that, for the most part, the children that live sometimes get cross, and pick up bad words in the street, and quarrel with brother and sister, and prove unmistakably that they are wicked as the Bible says, going astray from the womb, speaking lies. See the little ones in the Sabbath class, so sunshiny and beauti ful, you would think they were always so, but mother, seated a little way off, looks over at these children and thinks of the awful time she had to get them ready. After the boy or girl omes a little further on in life the mark of sin upon them is still more evident. The son comes in from a pugilistic encounter in the street, bearing the marks of a defeat. The daughter prac tices positive deception, and the parent says: "What shall I do? I can't always bo cor recting and scolding, and yet these things must be stopped." It is especially sad if the parent sees his own faults copied by the child It is very hard work to pull up a nettle that we ourselves planted. We re member that the greatest frauds that ever shook the banking houses of the country started from a boy's deception a good many years ago; and the gleaming blade of the murderer is only another blade of the kriife with which the loy struck at his comrade. The cedar of Eebanon,. that wrestles with the blast, started .from seed lodged in the side of the mountain, and the most tremendous dis honesties of the world once toddled out from the cradle. All these things make parents anxious. Anxiety on the pas t of parents also arises from the consciousness that there are so many temptations thrown all around our young people. It may be almost impossible to take a castle by siege straightforward siege but suppose in the night there is a traitor within and he goes down and draws the bolt and swings open the great door, and then the castle falls immediately. That is the trouble with the hearts of the young; they have foes without and foes within There are a great many who try to make our young people believe that it is a sign of weak ness to be pure. The man will toss his head and take dramatic attitudes and tell of his own indiscretions, and ask the young man if he would not like to do the same. And they call him verdant, and they say he is green and unsophisticated, and wonder how he can bear the Puritanical straight jacket. They tell him he ought to break from his mother's apron strings, and they say: "I will show you all about town. Come with me. You ought to see the world. It won't hurt you. Do as you please, it will be the making of you." After a while the young man says "I don't want to be odd, nor can I afford to sacrifice these friends, and I'll go and see for myself." From the gates of hell there goes a shout of victory. Farewell to all inno cence ; farewell to all early restraints favor able to that innocence which onco gone never comes back. I heard one of the best men I ever knew, 75 years of age, say : "Sir, God has forgiven me for all the sins of my life time, I know that; but there is one sin I com mitted at 20 years of age that I never will forgive myself for. It sometimes comes over me overwhelmingly, and it absolutely blots out my hope of heaven." Young man, hear it. How many traps there are set for our young people! That is what makes parents so anxious. Here are temptations for every form of dissipation and every stage of it. The yourg man when he first goes into dissipation is very particu- lar,where he goes. It must te a fashionable hotel. He could not be tempted into these corner nuisances with red stained glass and a mug of beer painted on the sign board: You ask the young man to go into that place and he would say: "Do you mean to insult me?" No: it must be a marble floored barroom. There must be no lustful pictures behind the counter; there must be no drunkard hiccup- iner while he takes his class. It must be a place where elegant gentlemen come in and click their cut glass ana annK to tne an nouncement of flattering sentiment. But the young man cannot always find that kind of a place ; yet he has a thirst and it must be grat ified. The down grade is steeper now, and he is almost at the bottom. Here they sit in an oyster cellar around a card table, wheez ing, bloated and blootishot, with cards so greasy you can hardly tell who has the best hand. But never mind; they are onlv nlaving for drinks. Shuffle away Shuffle away! The landlord stands in his shirt sleeves with hands on his hips, watching ... . a i i 4 1 1 the game and waiting tor another can to nxi up the glasses. It is the hot breath of eternal woe that flashes that voune man's cheek. In the jets of gaslight I see the shooting out of the fiery tongue of the worm that never dies. The clock strikes twelve: it is the toll ing of the bell of eternity at the burial of a soul Two hours pass on, and they are au sound asleep in their chairs. Landlord says: "Come, now, wake up; it's time to shut up." Push them out into the air. They are going home. Let the wife crouch in the corner, and the children hide under the bed. They are going home 1 What is the history of that young man? He began his dissipation at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and completed the dam nation in the worst j grog shop in Navy street. 1 But sin even does not stop here. It comes to the door of the drawing room. There are men of leprous hearts that go into the very best classes of society. ' They are so fasci tw thev have such a bewitching way of offering their arm. Yet the poison of asps is m, - m A.

They have not had tho front windows open in six months or a year. The mother's hair suddenly turned white; father, hollow cheeked and bent over prematurely. goes down the street. There has been no death in that family no loss of property. lias madness seized upon them ? .No! no! A villain, kid gloved, patent leathered, with gold chain and graceful manner, took that cup of domestic bliss, elevated it high in the air until the sunlight struck it, and all the rainbows danced about the brim, and then dashed it down hi the desolation and woe, until all the harpies of darkness clapj)ed their hands with glee, and all the voices of hell ut tered a loud ha! ha! Oh, there are scores and hundreds of homes that have been blast ed, and if the awful statistics could be fully set before you, your blood would freeze into a solid cake of ice at the heart. Do vou wonder that fathers p.rvl mothers are anxious about their children, a::d that they ask them selves the question day and night: What is to become of them? what will be their des tiny? I shall devote the rest of my remarks to al leviation of parental anxiety. Let me say to you, as parents, that a great deal of that anxiety will be lifted if you will begin early with your children. Tom Paine said: "The first five years of my life I became an in fidel." A vessel goes out to sea; it has been five days out. A storm comes on it; it springs a leak; the helm will not work; ; is out of order. What is the matter? The ship is not seaworthy, and never was. It is a poor time to find it out now. Under the fury of the storm the vessel goes down, with 250 passengers, to a watery grave. The time to make the ship seaworthy was in the dry dock before it started. Alas for us, if we wait until our children get out into the world before we try to bring upon them the influence of Christ's religion! I tell you, the dry dock of the Christian home is the place where we are to fit 'them for use fulness and for heaven. In this world, under the storm of vice and temptation, it will be too late. In the domestic circle you de cide whether vour child shall be truthful or false whether it shall be generous or penuri ous. You can tell by the way a child divides an apple just what its future history will be. You ought to oversee the process. If the child take nine-tenths of the apple, giving the other tenth to his sister, if he should live to be one hundred he will be grasping and want the biggest, piece of everything. I stood in a house in one of the Long Island villages, and I saw a beautiful tree, and L said to the tfwner: "1 hat js a very line tree, but what a curious crook there is in it!" "Yes " said he, "I planted that tree, and when, it was a year old I went to New York and worked as a mechanic for a year or two, and when I came back I found that they had allowed some thing to stand against the tree; so it has al ways bad that crook." And -so I thought it was with the influence upon children. If you allow anything to stand in the way of moral influence against a child on this side or that side, to the latest day of its life on earth and through all eternity it will show the pressure. No wonder Lord Byron was bad. Do you know his mother satd to him, when she saw him one day limping across the fioor'with his unsound foot: "Get out of. my way, you lame brat!" Whut chance for a boy like that? Two young men come to the door of sin. They consult whether they will go in. The one young man goes in and the other retreats. Oh, you say, the last had better resolution. No, that was not it. The first young man had no early good influence the last had been piously trained, and when he stood at the door of sin discussing the matter he looked around as if to see some one, and he felt an invisible hand on hi3 shoulder saying: "Don't go in! Don't go in! Whose hand was it? A mother's hand, fifteen years ago gone to dust. A gentleman was telling me of the fact that some years ago there were two young men who stopped at the door of the Park theatre in New York The question was whether they should go in. That night there was to be a very immoral play enacted in the Park theatre. One man went in ; the other stayed out. The young man who went in went on from sin to sin and through a crowd of iniquities, and died in the hospital of delirium tremens. The other young man, who retreated, chose Christ, went into the Gospel, and is now one of the most eminent ministers of Christ in this coun try. And the man who retreated gave as his reason for turning back from the Park the atrethat night that there was a voice within him saying: "Don't go in; don't go in." And for that reason, my friends, I be lieve so much in Bible classes. But there is something better than the Bible class, and that is the Sunday school class. I like it be cause it takes children at an earlier point; and the infant class I like still better, because it takes children before they begin to walk or to talk straight, and puts them on the road to heaven. You cannot begin too early. You stand on the bank of a river flowing by. You cannot stop that river, but you travel days and days toward the source of it, and you find after a while where it comes down drop ping from the rock, and with your knife you make a course in this or that direction for the dropping to take, and you decide the course of the river. You stand and 6ee your chil dren's character rolling on with great impet uosity and passion, and you cannot affect them. Go up toward the source where the charactsr first starts and decide that it shall take the right direction, and it will follow the path you give it. But I want you to remember, O father! O mother! that it is what you do that is going to affect your children, - and not what you say. You tell your children to become Chris tians while you are not, and they will not. Do you think Noah's family would have gone into the ark if he had not gone in? They would say: "No, there is something about that boat that is not right; father has not gone in." You cannot push children into the kingdom of God; you have, got to pull them in. There has been many a general in a tower or castle looking at his army righting, but that is not the kind of a man to arouse enthusiasm among his troops. It is a Garibaldi or Napoleon I who leaps into the stirrups, and dashes into the conflict, and has his troops following him with wild huzza. So you cannot stand off in your impenitent state and tell your children to go ahead into the Christian life, and have them go. x ou must yourself dash into the Christian conflict; you must lead them and not tell them to go. Do you know that all the instruction you give to your children in a religious direction goes for nothing unless you illustrate it in your own life? The teacher at the school takes a copybook, writes a specimen of good writing across the top of the page, but he makes a mistake in one letter of the copy. The boy comes along on the next line, copies the top line and makes the mistake, and if there be fifteen lines on that page they will have the mistake there was in the copy on the top. The father has an error in this life a very great error. The son comes along and copies it now, to-morrow, next vear. coDies it to the day of his death. It is what you are. not so much what you teach. Have a family altar. Let it be a cheerful place, the brightest room in your house. Do not wear your children's knees out with long prayers. Have the whole exercise spirited. If you have a melodeon, or an organ, or a piano, in the house, hare it open. men lead in prayer. If you cannot make a prayer of your own, take Matthew Henry's prayers or the Episcopal prayer book. -Mono nettr than that Kneel down with your little ones morning and night; commend them to God. Do you think they will get over it? Never! After you are under the sod a good many years there will be some powerful tempta tion around that son, but the memory of father and mother at morning and evening prayers will have its effect upon him; it will bring him back from the path of sin and death. But I want you to make a strict mark, a sharp, plain line, between innocent hilarity on the part of your children and a vicious proclivity. Do not think your boys will go to ruin because they make a racket A glum, unresponsive child makes the worst form of a villain. Children, when they are healthy, always make a racket I want you at the very first sign of depravity in the child to correct it Do not laugh because it is smart If you do you will live to cry because it is malicious. Do not talk of your children's frailties lightly in their presence, thinking they do not understand you ; they do under stand. Do not talk disparagingly of your child, making him feel that be is a reprobate. Do not say to your little one, "You're the worst child I ever knew." If you do he will be tho worst man you ever knew. Are your children safe for heaven! ,You can tell better than any one else. I put to you the question: "Are your children safe for heaven?" I heard of a mother, who when the house was afire, in the excitement of tho occasion got out a great many valu able things many choice articles of furni ture but did not think to ask until too late: "Is my child safe?" It was too late then. The flames had encircled all; the child was gone! Oh, my dear friend, when sea and land shall burn in the final conflagratioa will your children be safe? I wonder if what I have said this morning has not struck a chord in some one in the audience who had a good father and mother, but who is not yet a Christian? Is that your history i Do you know why you came here this morning? God sent you to have that mem ory revived. Your dear Christian mother, how she loved you ! You remember when you were sick how kindly she attended you ; the night was not too long, and you never asked her to turn the pillow but she did it! You re member her prayers also; you remember how some of you I do not know where the man is in the audience how some one here broke his mother's heart. You remember her sor row over your waywardness, you remember the old place where she did you so many kindnesses; the chairs, the table, the door sill where you played ; the tones of her voice. Why, you can think them back now. Though they were borne long ago on tho air, they come ringing through your soul to-day, call ing you by the first name. You are not "Jlr." to her; it is just your plain, first name. Is not this the time when her prayers will be answered Do 3'ou not think that God sent you in to-day to have that memory of her revived If you should come to Christ this morning, amid all the throngs of heaven, the gladdest of them would be your Christian parents whe are in glory waiting for your redemption. Angels of God, shout the tidings, the lost has come back again; the dead is alive! Ring all the bells of heaven at the jubilee! Ring! King I "Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.
