S0S. by American Presa Aaae cxation.l Washln-qtox, Oct. 23. Dr. Talmage la thia discourso sets forth radical theo ries, which, if adopted,, would brighten many domestic circles; text, Johnxx, .10, "The disciples went away again on to their own homes.". .'. A chnrch within a church, a republic within a republic, a world within a world is spelled, by four letters home! If things go rifjht there, they go right everywhere. II things go wrong there, they go wrong everywhere. The door-1 fill of the dwelling house is tbe founda tion of church and state. A man' never gets higher than his own garret or low er than his own cellar. . Domestic life overarches and undergirdles all other life. The highest house of congress is the domestic circle,. Tfae rocking chair in the nursery is higher than a throne. George Washington commanded tli forces of the United States, but Mar Washington commanded George, Chrys ostom's mother made his pen for him. If a man should, start out and run 70 years in a straight line, he could not get out from under .the shadow of his own mantelpiece. I therefore talk to you about a matter of infinite and eter nal moment when I speak of your homa As individuals .we are fragments. God makes the race in parts, and then he gradually puts ns together. What I lack you make up. What you lack I make up. Our deficits and surpluses of character being the cogwheels in the great social mechanism. One person has the patience, another has the cour age, another has the placidity, another has the enthusiasm. That which is' lack inr in nnn ia madfi nn bv another. Or made up I7 aIL B&ff aloes In bed, grouse In brocdC quails In flocks, the human race in circles. God has most beautifully arranged this. It is in this way that he balances society. This con servative and that radical keeping things even. Every ship must have its mast, cutwater, taffrail, ballast. Thank God, then, for Princeton and Andover, for theopposites. , I have no more right to blame a man for being different from me than a driv ing wheel has a right to blame the iron shaft that holds it to the center.' John Wosley balances Calvin's "Institutes, " A cold thinker cives to Scotland the strong bones of theology. Dr. Guthrie clothes them with a throbbing neart ana Warm flesh. The difficulty is that we are hot satisfied with 'just the work that God has given us to do. The water wheel wants to come inside the mill and grind the grist and tho hopper wants to go out and dabble in tho water. Our use fulness and the welfare of society de pend upon our staying in just the place that God has put us or intended we should occupy. , Oar Eden of Orange Bloaaoma. For more compactness and that we may be more useful we are gathered in still smaller circles in the home group, and there you have the same variety again brothers, sisters, husband and wife all different in temperaments and tastes. ' It is fortunate that it should be so. If the husband be all impulse, the wife must be all prudence. If one sis ter bo sanguine in her temperament, the other must bo lymphatic Mary and Martha are necessities. There will be no dinner for Christ if there be no Martha. There will be no audience for Jesns if there bb no Mary. The home organiza tion is most beautifully constructed.; Eden has gone, the bowers are all broken down, the animals that Adam stroked with his hand that morning when they came up to get their names have since shot forth tusk and sting, and growled panther at panfher, and midair iron beaks plunge, till with clotted wing and eyeless sockets tho twain come whirling down from under the sun in blood and fire. Eden has gone, but there is just one littlo fragment left It float ed down on the Kiver Hiddekel out of paradise. It is the marriage institution. It does not, as at the hegininng, take away from man a rib. Now it is a ad dition of ribs. I '' This institution of marriage has been defamed in our day. Socialism and po lygamy, and the most damnable of all things, free lovism, have been trying to turn this earth into a Turkish harem. While the pulpits have been compara tively 6ilent, novpls their cheapness only equaled by their nastiness are trying to educate, have .taken upon themselves to educate, this nation in re gard to holy marriage, which makes or breaks for time And eternity. Oh, this is not a mere question of residence or .wardrobe 1 It is a question charged with gigantic joy or ec row, hearen or bell Ala a for this j new dispensation of George Sands 1 Alas for this mingling of the nightshade with the marriage garlands 1 Alas for the venom of adders spit into the tankards 1 Alas for the white frosts of eternal death that kill the orange blossomsl The gospel of Jesus Christ is to assert what is right and to assail what is. wrong. Attempt has been made to take the marriage in stitution, which was intended for the happiness and elevation of the race and make it a mere ; commercial enterprise; an exchange of houses and 'lands and equipage; a business partnership of two stuffed up with the! stories of romance and knight erranta- and unfaithfulness and feminine angelhood. The two after awhile have roused up to find that, in stead of tbe paradise they dreamed of, they have got nothing but a Van Am burgh's meuageriei filled with tigers and wildcats. . ' Eighty thousand divorces in Paris in oue year preceded the worst -lr.Hnn that France ever saw. And I tell you wrat you know as well as I do, that wroi:g notions on tne suDjtx. of Christian marriage are the cause at th i m da- of more moral ; outrage before. 3od and man than any other cause. 1 There are some things that I want to tring before you.; I knowx there are those of you who have had homes set ap for a 'great many years, and then there are those here who have just es tablished their home. They have only been in that home " a few months ox a few years! Then there are those Who" will, after! awhile, set up for themselves a home, and it is right that I should speak out: upon these themes. lave Cod For Gueat. My first counsel to you is, have God in your new home, if it be a new home," and let hihi who was a guest at Bethany be in "your household. Let te- divine blessing drop upon your every hope and plan and expectation.: Those young peo ple who begin with God end with heaven, flave on your right hand the. engagement ring of the divine affeotiorC If one of you be a' Christian, let that one take the Bible and read a few verses in the evening time and then kneel down andC commend yourselves to him who setteth the solitary in families. I want to jtell yon that the destroying angel pas$es by without touching or en tering the doorpost sprinkled with blood of the everlasting covenant. Why is it that j in some families they never get along and in others they always get along wefjl? I have watched such cases, and have' come to a conclusion. In the first instance nothing seemed to go pleasantly, and after awhile there came a devastation, domestic disaster or es-r-ane-Rment. Whv? They started wrong. In thd other case, although there were . narasmps ana inai jju sumo biiu6a that had Sto be explained, still things went on pleasantly, until the very last Why? They started right The Ansel In the Home.' . My second advice to you in your home is to exercise to. tho very last possibil ity of your nature the law of forbear ance. Prayers in the household will not make up for everything. Some of the best people in the world are the hardest to get along with. There are people who stand up in prayer meetings and pray like s angels who at oome are un comprotnisinji and awoiy. Ton m7 not have 'everything just as you want it Sometimes it will be the duty of the husbahd and sometimes of the wife tn vield. but both stand imnctilwusly on your rights, and you will have a ... . Waterloo! with no iiiucner coming up at nightfall to decide the conflict Never be ashamed to apologize when you have jdone wrong in domestic af fairs. Iiet 'that be a law of your house hold. The best thing I ever heard of my grandfather, whom I never saw, was thia, that jonce having unrighteously re buked onej of his children, he himself having lost his patience, and, perhaps having been misinformed of the child's doings, found out 'his mistake and in the evening of the same day gathered all'his family together and said:. "Now, I have one explanation to make and one thing to say. Thomas, this morning I rebuked you very unfairly. I am very sorry for it I rebuked you in the pres ence of the whole family, and now I ask your forgiveness in their presence. It must bavb taken some courage to do that It was right,, was it not?, Never be ashamed to apologize for domestic inaccuracy. Find out the points what are the weak points, if I may call them so, of .your companion, and then stand aloof from5 them. Do not carrytthe fire of your temper too near the gunpowder. If the wife be easily fretted by disorder in the household, let the husband be careful where he throws his slippers. If the husband come home from the store with his patience, exhausted, do not let the wife unnecessarily cross his temper, but both stand, up for your rights, and I will promise the everlast ing sound of the warwhoop. Your life will be spent in making up, and mar riage willj be to you an unmitigated curse. Ccfwpfcr said: The kindest and the happiest pair Will fuid occasion to forbear ! And Bcimething, every day they live. To oitv and perhaps forgive. j advise, also, that yon make your. chief pleasure circle around about tnai home. It is unfortunate when it is oth erwise. If the husband spend the most of his.nigh.t3 away from home of choice and not of necessity, he is not the head of the household. He is only the pashier. Tf tho wife throw the cares of the house- khold intol the servant's lap and then spend five -nights ol tne wees as wjo opera or jtheater, she may clothe her children with satins and laoes and rib bons .that would confound a , French milliner, but they are orphans It is sad when ?a child has no one to say its prayers to because mother has gone off to the evening entertainment I In India they bring children and throw them to the crocodiles, sum it seems very cruel, but the jaws of social dissipation are swallowing down more little children today than' all the monsters that ever crawled upon the banks of the Ganges. I have $ seen the sorrow of a godless mother on the death of a child she had neglected.! I was no! so soacfi itte that she (felt from the fact that the child war dead as the fact that she had .neglected'it -She said, "If I had only watched over and cared for the child, I know God would not have taken it? The tearslcame not; it was a dry, blis tering tempest a scorching simoom of the desert. When she wrung her hands, it seemed fas if she would twist; her fin gers from their sockets; when she seized her hairj it seemed as if ehe had, in wild terror, grasped a -coiling I serpent with her right hand. No tears 1 Com rades of the little, one came in and wept over the coffin ; neighbors came in ana the moment they saw the still face of the child the shower broke. No tears for her 1 God gives tears as" the! summer rain to the parched soul, but in all the .-;a H rlripst and hottest the UUHCiCD , k, . most scorching and consnming thing, s a mother's heart if she has negiecxea ner child, when once it is dead. . God may forgive her, but she will never forgive herself. The memory will sink the eyes deeper into the sockets, and pinch the face and whiten' the hair and eat up the heart with vultures that will hot ba tatisfled, forever pirating , deeper their iron beaks. Oh. ron wanderers from your home,1 go back to your; duty! The brightest flowers in 'all the, earth are those which grow ini .the garden, of a Christian household, ! clam bering over the porch of a Christian home. . The Wife Made Mas. I advise yon also to cultivate sympa thy of occupation. Sir James Mcintosh, one of the most eminent and ! elegant men that ever lived, .wrhile standing at the very height of hlsj eminencey said to a great company of scholars, "My wife made me," The wife ought t6 be the advising ( partner in every firm. She' ought to .be interested in all the losses and gains, of shop, and store, She ought to have a right she has a right to know everything. If a man goes into a business transaction that ho dare , not tell his wife . of, you; may depend that he is on the way either to bankruptcy or moral rain. There may .be. soma things which he does not Wish to trouble his wiffl with, but if. he dare hot tell her. he is on tho road to disoomfiture. On the other hand, i the husband ought the wife's occu- to be sympathetic with pation. It vs no easyj thing jto keep who cotld have house. ' Many a woman endured martvrdom as well asi Marga ret, the Scotch girl, has actually been worn out by house management. .1. There are a thousand martyrs of fthe kitchen, j It is very annoying, after ,the vexations of the day; around the stove or the register or the table, or! in .the nursery' or parlor,vto! have the husband say : "You know; nothing about trou ble. You ought to be in the store half an hour. V Sympathy of occupation f If the husband's work cover him with the soot of the furnace or the Odors of leather or soan factories, let not the wife be easily disgusted: at the bfegrimed hands or unsavory aroma. Your gains are one, your; interests are one, your losses are one. Lay; hold of the iwork of life with' both hands. ! Four hands to fight the battles, four eyes to watch for the danger, ;four shoulders on Mphich to carry thej trials. It is a very sad thing when the painter has a wife who does o tfaaMyrfnti she lw m nshend who does not like music.
