REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE S SUNDAY SERMON. Subject: “ Concord and Discord Text: “ Who laid the corner-stone thereof , when the morning stars sang togetherf Job xxjviii., fi, 7. We have all seen the ceremony at the lay Ing of the corner-stone of church, asylum or Masonic temple. Into the hollow of the stone were placed scrolls of history and im prrtant documents to be suggestive if one or two hundred years after the Duilding should be destroyed by fire or torn down. We re memember the silver trowel or iron hammer that smote the square piece of granite into sanctity. We remember some venerable man who presided, wielding the trowel or ham mer. We remember also the music as the choir stood on the scattered stones and timber of the building about to lie con structed. The leaves of the notebooks flut tered in the wind and were turned over with a great rustling, and we remember how the bass, baritone, tenor ? contralto and soprano voices commingled. They had for many da vs been rehearsing the special programme, that it might be worthy of the corner-stone laying. In my text the poet of Ur. calls us to a grander ceremony—the laying of the founda tion of this great temple of a world. The corner stone was a block of light, and the trowel was of celestial crystal. All about and on the embankments of cloud stood the angelic choristers, unrolling their librettos of overture, and other worlds clapped shin ing cymbals while the ceremony went on. and God, the architect, by stroke of light after stroke of light, dedicated this great cathedral of a world, with mountains for pillars, and sky for frescoed ceiling, and flowering fields for floors, and sunrise and midnight aurora for upholstery. “W ho laid the corner stono thereof, when the morning stars sang together ?” The fact is that the whole universe a complete cadence, an unbroken dithyramb, a musical portfolio. The great sheet of im mensity bad been spread out, and written on it were' the stars, the smaller of them minims, the larger of them sustained notes. The meteors marked tbo staccato passages, the whole heavens a gamut, with all Rounds,into nations and modulations, tbe space between the worlds a musical interval, trembling of stellar light a quaver, the thunder a bus* clef, the wind among trees a treble clef. That is the way God made all tilings, a per fect harmony. But one day a harp string snapped in the great orchestra. One day a voice sounded out of tunc. One day a discord, harsh and terrific, grated upon the glorious antiphony. It was sin that made the dissonance, and that, harsh discord has been sounding through the centuries. All the work of Christians, and philanthropists, and reformers of all ages, is to stop that discord and get all things back into the perfect harmony which was heard at the laying of the corner-stone when the morning stars sang together. Before I get through, if I am divinely helped. I will make it plain that sin is discord and righteousness is harmony. That things in general are out of tune is as plain as to a musician's ear is the unhappy clash of clarionet and bassoon iu an orches tral rendering. The world's health out of tune: Weak lung and the amoephere in collision, disordered eye and noonday light in quarrel, rheumatic limb and damp weather in sttruggle, neural gias, and pneumonias, and consumptions, and epilepsies in flocks swoop upon neighbor hoods ana cities. Where you find one person with sound throat, and keen eyesight, and alert ear, and easy respiration, and regular pulsation, and supple limb, and prime diges tion, and steady nerves, you find a hundred who have to be very careful because this, or that, or tbe other physical function is disor dered. The human intellect out of tune: The judgment wrongly swerved, or the memory Jeaky, or the will weak, or the temper in flammable, and the well-balanced mind excep tional. Domestic life out of tune: Not only here and there u conjugal outbreak of incom patibility of temper through the divorce courts, or a filial outbreak about a father's will through the Surrogate's Court, or a case of wife-beat ing or husband poisoning through the criminal courts, but thousands of fam ilies with June outside and January within. Society out of tune: Labor nn i capital; their hands on each other's throats. Spirit of caste keeping those down in the social scale in a struggle to get up, and putting those who are up in anxiety left they have bo come down. No wonder the old pianoforte of so ciety is all out of tune, when hypocrisy, and lying, and subterfuge, and double dealing, and sycophancy, and charlatanism, and re venge have for ffJOOO years being banging away at the keys and stamping the pedals. On all sides there is a perpetual shipwreck of harmonies. Nations in discord. Without realizing it, so wrong is the feeling of nation for nation that the symbols chosen are Here t and destructive. In this country, where our skies ore full of robins and doves and morn ing larks,we have for our national symbol the fierce and filthy eagle, as immoral a bird as can be found in all the ornithological cata logues. In Great Britain, where they have lambs and fallow deer, their symbol is the merciless lion. In Russia, where from be tween her frozen north and blooming south all kindly beasts dwell, they choose the growl ing bear*; and in the world's heraldry a favor ite figure is tbo dragon, which is a winged serpent, ferocious and dreadful. And so fond is tbe world of contention that wo climb out through the heavens and baptize ono of the other ?>lanets with the spirit of battle, and call it Mars, after the god of war. and we give to the eighth sign of the zodiac the name of the scorpion, a creaturo which is chiefly celebrated for its dea fly sting. Bat, after all, these symtols are expressive of the way nation feels toward nation. Discord wide as the continent and bri Iging the seas. I suppose you have noticed how warmly in love dry goods stores ore with other dry goods stores, and hiw highly grocerymen | think of the sugars of the grocerymen on the \ Mme block. And in what a eulogistic way allopathic and homnropathic doctors speak of ! each other, and how ministers will sometimes put ministers on that beautiful cooking in- j stniment which the English call a spit, an iron roller with spikes on it. and turned by a crank before a hot fire, and then if the min fcter being roasted cries out against it, the men who are turning him say: “Hush, brother! we are turning this spit for the glory of God and the good of your soul, and you must be quiet while we close the service with: “Blest be the ties that bin'll! Our be&rn in Christ Un love.” The f-arth is diametered and circumfer en«ed with discord, and the music that was rendered at tba laying of the world s corner I stone, when the morning stars sang together, j is not heard now; and though here and there, from this and that part of society, and from I this and that part of the earth, there c ornea I up a thrilling solo of love, or a warble of worship, or a sweet duet of patient e, they are drowned out by a discord that shakes the earth. Paul says: “Th* whole creation groaneth.” ' one] while the nightingale, and the wood lark, and the canary, and the plover, some times sing so sweetly that their notea have »»een written out in musical notation, and it is found that the cuckoo sings in the key of I), and that the cormorant is a basso in the winged choir, yet sportsman's gun and tn« autumnal blast often leave them ruffled and bleeding, or dead in meadow or forest. Paul . was right., for tbe groan in nature drowns out the prima donnas of tha sky. Tartini, the great musical composer, • t'je amed one night that he made a contract | with Satan, the latter to be ever in the com poser's service. Bat one night he handed to Satan a violin, on which Dlabolus plaved such sweet music that the composer wai awakened by the emotion and tried to repro dace the Mounds, and therefrom was written Tartini’s most famous piece, entitled the • “Deni's /Sonata. - ’ a dream ingenious bat 1 faulty, for all melody descends from heaven, j and only discord* n« -end from hell. All ha tredi, feuds, controversies, backbitings and i fvveuges art the devil* aonata, art diabol>; fugue, are demoniac phantasy, are grans march of doom, are allegro of perdition. But if in this world things in general are out of tune to our frail ear, how much more bo to ears angelic and deifle. It takes a skilled artist fully to appreciate disagreement of sound. Many have no capacity to detect a defect of musical execution, and, though there were in one bar as many offenses against harmony as could crowd in between the lower Pof the bass and the higher G of the roprano, it would give them no discom fort. while on the forehead of the educated artist beads of perspiration would stand out as a result of the harrowing dissonance. While an amateur was performing on a piano and had just struck the wrong chord, John Sebastian Bach, the immortal com poser, entered the room, and the amateur rose in embarrassment, and Bach rushed past the host, who stepp'd forward to greet him. and before the keyboard had stopped vibrat ing, put his adroit hand upon the kevL and changed the painful inharmony into glorious cadence. Then Bach turned and gave salu tation to the host who had invited him. But the worst of all discords is moral dis cord. If society and the world are painfully discordant to imperfect man,what must they be to a perfect God? People try to define what sin is. It seems to me that sin is get ting out of harmony with God, a disagree ment with His holiness, with His purity.with His love, with His commands; our will clash ing with His will, th* finite dashing against tbo infinite, the frail against the puissant, the created against th* Greater. If a thousand musicians, with flute, and cornet a pistou, and trumpet, and violoncello, and hautboys, and trombone, and all the wind and stringed instruments that ever gathered in a Dussel dorf jubilee, should resolve that they woul i play out of tune an 1 put concord to the rack, ana make the place wild with shrieking, and grating, and rasping soundthey could not make such a pandemonium ns that which rages in a sinful soul when God listens to th* play of its thoughts, passions and emotions— discord, lifelong discord, maddening discord.! The world pays more for discord than it does for consonance. High prices have been paid for music. One man gave $325 to bear the Swedish songstress in New York, and an other $625 to hear her in Boston, and anothei WSO to hear her in Providence. Fabulorc prices have been paid for swe?t sounds, hul far more has been paid for discord. Tlk Crimean war cost SI.7tO.QJO.OO>. and mu American rival war over $9.300,000,QJ0. and the war debts of professed Christian nation? are about $15,610,01X1,000, The world pay* for this reel ticket, which admits it to the saturnalia of broken bones, and death ago nies, and destroyed cities, nni plowed graves, and crushed hearts, anv a mount of money Baton asks. Discord! Discord! But I have to tell you that the song that the morning stars sang together at th* laying of th* world’s corner stone is to be resum'd again. Mozart's greatest overture was composed one night when he was several times overpower* ' with sleep, and artists say they ran tei! th* places in the music where he was falling asleep and the places where he awakened. So the over ture of the morning stars spoken of in my text has been asleep, but it will awaken and lie more grandly rendered by the evening stars of the world's existence than by the morning stars, and the vosp rs will be sweeter than the matins. The work of all good men and women and of all good churches and all reform associations is to bring tbe race hack to the original harmony. The rebellious heart to he attuned. 5-ooial life to be attuned, commercial ethics to I** at tuned, internatjonality to be attumd. hemis pheres to be attuned—but by what force and in what way? In olden time the choristers had a tuning fork with two prongs, ami they would strike it on the back of |*ew or music rack and put it to the ear and then start the tune, and all the other voices would .join. In modern or chestra th« leader has a complete instrument, rightly attuned, and h* sounds that, and all the other performers turn the keys of their instruments to make them correspon \ and sound the bow over the string, and ! : ston, and sound out over niain. until all the keys are screwed to concert pitch, and the dis cords melt into one great symphony, and the curtain hoist-, and th* baton taps, and audi ences are raptured with Schumann's “Para dise and the Peri'* or Rossini’s “Stahat Mater” or Bach's “Magnificat" in D. or Gounod's “Redemption.' Now. our world can never be attuned by an imperfect instrument. Even a Cremona would not do. Heaven bus ordained the only instrument, and it is made out of the wool of the cross, and the voices that accompany it are imported voices, cant at rices of the first Christmas night, when heaven serenaded tbe earth with “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to men." Lest we start too far off and get lost in generalities, we had better begin with ourselves, get our own hearts and life in harmony with th? eternal Christ. Oh. for His nlinigbtv spirit to attune m, to chord our will with hh will, to modulate our life with his life, and bring i us into unison with all th3t is pure and solf sacrificing and heavenly. Tbe strings of our nature are all broken and twisted, and the bow is so stock *t cannot evoke anything mel lifluous. The instrument made for heaven to play on has been roughly twanged and struck by influences worldly and demoniac. O, master hand of Christ, restore thi> split and fractured and despoiled and unstrung nature until it shall wail out for this sin, and then thrill with divine pardon. The whole world must also be attuned by the same power. A few da vs aio ! was in the Fairbanks weighing scale manufactory of Vermont. Six hundred hands, and they hare never had a strike, i ’oraplete harmony between lalior and capital, the operatives of •cores of years in their beautiful home; near by the mansions of the manufacturers, whom invention and Christian behavior mad* the great enterprise. So all tbe world over labor and capita! will be brought into euphony ! You may have heard what is called the “An vil Chorus." composed by Verdi, a tune played by hammers, great and small, row with mighty stroke, and uow with heavy rtroke, beating a great iron anvil. That is what the world has got to come to—anvil chorus, yard stick chorus, shuttle chorus, trowel chorus, crowliar chorus, pickax chorus, gold mine chorus, rail tra *k chorus, locomotive chorus. It can l»* done, and it will be done. So all social life will b» at tuned by the Gospel h:»rp. There wfll lie ns many classes *in society as now, but the classes will not be regu lated by birth, or wealth, or accident, but by the scale of virtue ami benevolence, ' an l peop ; e will be ass gn -d to their pisca as good, or very good, or ruo;t ex cellent. Bo also, commercial life will lie attuned, and there will l»e twelve in every dozen and sixteen ounces in every poun 1. and apples at the bottom of th? barrel will be as sound as those on top, and silk goods will not lie cotton, and seller* will not have to charge honest people more than the right pncd|i«caus9 others will no! pay, and goods will come to you corresponding with the “ample by which you -urchased them, and coffee will not be chick'oried and sugar will not lie sanded, and milk will not be chalked and adulteration of fool will he a State's prison offense. Aye, all things shall beat tuned, Elections in England and the United States will no more ly* a grand carnival of defamation am! scurrility, but the elevation of righteous men in a righteous way. In the Sixteenth century the sing *rs, called the Fischer brothers, reached the lowest basi ever record**l, ami the highest note ever thrilled was by La Bastardella. andt'alalim's voice had a compass of three and a half octaves, but Christianity is more wonderfu'.for it runs all up and down th* grea!o*-, heights an l the «iee|**st debits of th* world's neiNsity. and it will compress everything and bring it in ac cord with the song which the morning stars * ing at the laying of tl»e world's rnmnr •tom All the wred music m homos an t concert halls and churches tends t >waid this consum mation. Make it more an I mare hearty. Bnz in your families. Sing in your place* of business. If w* with proper spirit u*» the*) faculties, wo are rehearsing for die ikia. Heaven is to have a new song, an entirely new aong, Init I should not wonder if. as sometimes on earth a tune is fashioned out of many tunes, or it isonj tunc w.th the vana ntiouft, so home of the wwg- of the redeemed may have playmy through thorn the snugs of earth, nitdhow thrilling a* ccmiin/ through th*' grei anther.) of the saved, n ompan e l by harpers wfcb their harps, aod UtoQPtttrs with their trumpets, we should hear some of the strains of Antioch, and Mount Pi*sah, and Coronation, and Lenox,and St. Martin's, and Fountain, and Ariel and Old Hundred. How they would bring to m;nd the praying circles, and communion days, and the Christ mas festivals, and the church worship in which on earth we mingled! I have no idea that when we bid farewell to earth we are to bid farewell to all these grand old Gospel hymns which melted and raptured our souls for so manv years. Now, my friends, if sin « discord and righteousness is harmony, let us get out of the one and enter the other. After our dreaifnl civil war was over, and in the summer of 1860, a great national peace jubilee was held in Boston, and as an elder of this church had been honored by the selec tion of some of his music, to be rendered on that occasion. I accompanied him to the jubilee. Forty thousand people sat and stood in the great Coliseum erected for that pur i pose. Thousands of wind and stringed in struments. Twelve thousand trained voices. The masterpieces of all ages rendered, hour after hour, and day after day —Handel's “Judas Maecabaeos,” Rpohr's “Last Judg ment,” Beethoven’s *‘Mount of Olives,” Haydn's “Creation,” “Mendelssohn's “Eli iah. ’ Meyerbeer's “Coronation March,” roll ing on and up in surges that billowed against the heavens. Tbe mighty cadence within were accompanied on the outside by the ringing of the bells of the city and cannon on th* commons, in exact time with the mu sic discharged by electricity, thundering their awful bars of harmony that astounded all nations. Sometimes I bowed my head and wept. Sometimes I stood up in the enchantment, and sometimes the effect was so overpower ing I felt I could not endure it. When all the voices were in full chorus, and all the batons in full wave, and all the orchestra in full triumph, and a hundred anvils under mighty hammers were in full clang, and all the towers of the city rolled in their majestic sweetness, and the whole building quaked with the boom of thirty cannon. Parepa Rosa, with a voice that will never again be equaled on earth until the archangelic voice proclaims that tim 4 ? shall be no longer, rose above all other sounds in her rendering of our national air, the “Star Spangled Ban ner.” It was too mrh for a mortal, and quite enough for an immortal, to hear, and while some fainted, one womanly spirit, re leased under its power, sped away to be with God. O Lord, our God, quickly usher in tbe whole world's peace jubilee, and all islands of the sea join the five conti nents. and all the’ voices and musical instruments of all nations combine, and all the organs that ever sounded reguiem of sorrow sound only a grand march of joy, and all the bells that tolled for burial ring for resurrection, and all the cannon that ever hurled death across the nations sound to eternal victory, and over all the acclaim of earth and minstrel y of heaven there will be heard one voice sweeteer and mightier thau any human or angelic voice—a voice once full of tears, but now full of triumph—tbe voice of Christ saying: “I am A'pha and Omega, th* beginning and the end, the first and the last.” 'Then at the laying of the top stone of the world’s history the same voices shall t*3 heard as when, at the laying of the world's corner-stone,“the morning stars sang together.” Temperance News and Notes.
