In this ser mon Dr. Talma go discusses a topic which will Interest domestic circles everywhere. The text Is Genesis xiii, 8: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee. between me and thee and between my herdmen and thy berdmen. Is not the whole land before thee?" Uncle and nephew, Abram and Let, both pions, both millionaires, and with inch large flocks of bleating sheep and lowing cattle tbat their herdmen got Into a figbt, perhaps about the best pas ture cr about the best water privilege cr because the cow of one get hooked br the horns of tbe ether. Not tbeir poverty of orportunity.but their wealth. was the cause of controversy between these two men. To Abram, the glorious old Mesopotamian sheik, such contro versy seemed absurd. It was like two ships quarreling for sea room in me lrirll f the Atlantic ocean. There was a vast reach cf country, cornfields, vineyards, harvests and plenty of room In illimitable acreage, "ow, bbjb Abram, "let us agree to differ. Uere nre the mountain districts, swept oy the tonic sea breeze and with wide reaching prospect, and tbere is the plain of tbe Jordan, with tropical luxuriance. You may have either." Lot, who was not as rich as Abram, and might have been expected to taX? the second choice, made the first selec tion and with a modesty that must have made Abram smile said to him You may have the rocks and the fine proepect; I will take the valley of itam. vH al 1 HsrUf imliMi 4 tta ttvtf t fiHtiii frMka a the g sitil UJI wealth Imma8urabU., lo the contro versy was forever settled and great souled Abram carried out the sugges tion of the text: "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen. Is not the whole land before thee?" ' Well, in this the last decade of the nineteenth century and in this beau tiful land, which was called America, after Americus Yespucius, but should have been called Columbia, after its discoverer, Columbus, we have a wealth of religious privilege and opportunity that is positively bewildering. Churches of all sorts of creeds and of all kinds of government and all forma of worship and all styles of architecture what opulence of ecclesiastical opportunity! Now, while in desolate regions there may be only one church, in the opulent districts of this country there is such a profusion that there ought to be no difficulty in making a selection. No fight about vestments, or between litur gical or nonliturgical adherents, or as to baptismal modes, or a handful of water as compared with a riverful. If Abram prefers to dwell on tbe heights, where be can get only a sprinkling from the clouds, let him consent that Lot have all the Jordan in which to im merse himself. "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my herdmen and thy herdmen. Is not the whole land before thee?" Angry Dlieniilon Deplored. Especially is It unfortunate when families allow angry discussion at the breakfast or dining er tea table as to which is the best church or denomina tion, one at one end of the table saying i, .r.i,i TiPVM- endure the rigid doc- UQ ' - e P.PoViTtprinnism. one at tbe kiiu j - other end responding that ehe never m tn.1 lha forms of Episcopacy, and one at one side of the table saying he did not understand how anybody hoor noise in the Methodist IVUtl. wu. . , church, and another declaring all the Rnntists bizota. There are hundreds of families hopelessly split on ecclesiasti in the middle of every discus- sionon such subjects there is a kindling of indignation, and it neeas some oiu father Abram to come ana pos ma on the loaded f nse before the explosion Trra nigra and RST! Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and 1 thee and between my herdmen and thy herd-t- thn whole land before UJCU. v' - w thee?" . t noTfnVf a anbiect never under taken by any other pulpit, for it is an .in-rlv delicate subject, and if not rightly handled might give serious offena. but I approach it without the -t-j.CTlr,.!- .akad all one Ckxia teirfom. often aski with tears and sots and heart breaks and involving the peace of families, the eternal happi t monv nonla. In matters cf church attendance should the wife go ik tha linsband or tbe busDana go niu with the wife? r:,f m.mliir that all the evan rpliml chnrches have enough truth in thPm to save the soul and prepare us v.r,r,?ns m earth and in heaven t :n xoifh rnn into any well se lected theological library, and I will show you sermons from ministers in all j, ;in that set forth man as a . a m,iar sa a deliverer from a ..rrnw That is the whele gos- peL Get that into your soul and you are uiwcvi w . . c & . rr.o nprn uuu tuv TK.ro orn difierences. we auiui, and seme denominations we like better than others. But suppose three or four of us make solemn agreement to meet each other a week from now m Chicago i r.nsiness. and one gees by the New York Central railroad, another Pennsylvania railroad, another by tbe ittS JL nd Ohio railroad. One goes ri v k. 1 1 n aa w this way because the mountains ars grander; anotbrr tak?a this because the C8rs are mc:e lax or ions; another that b?cauH3 tbe fpeed 13 greater; another takes tbe'ber becanse be has long been accntjoiucd to that route, and all the employe cj aro familiar. So far as our engagement to meet is concerned it makes no difference if we only get there. Now, any one of the innumer able evangelical denominations, if you practice its teaching although some of their trains run on a broad gauge and some on a narrow gauge will bring you out at the city of the New Jerusa lem. Safe In Any Cnnreu. It being evident that you will be safe in any of theevangelical denominations, I proceed to remark, first, if one of the married couple be a Christian and the other not, the one a CbiMn is bound to go anywhere to a chuxefl where the unconverted companion is willing to go, if be or she will go to no other. You tf the connubial partnership are a Christian. You are safe for the skies. Then it is your first duty to secure the eternal Safety of your lifetime associate. Is not the everlasting welfare of your wife impenitent, or your husband im penitent, of mere importance than your chnrch relationship? Is not the condition of your companion for the next quadrillion of years a mightier consideration to you than the gratification of your ecclesiastical taste for 40 or 50 years? A man or a woman that would stop half a minute to weigh preferences as to whether he or she had better go with the unconverted com panion to this or that church or denom ination has no religion at all, and never has had, and I fear never will have. You are loaded up with what you sup nnse in hn religion, but vou are like Captaia Fr-obisher. who brought back from his voyage of diseovery a shipload of what he supposed valuable minerals, yet, instead of being silver and gold, were nothing but common stones of the field, to be hurled out as finally useless. Mighty Godl In all thy realm is thar mi mi mt wooaaa rafe8t2 re- Kgie, r4 m fcOii t cmitt. tm tar a mit if tiat went amy heaihiaef la nnenderiaf aH pref erences before such aa fpportunity 01 salvation and heavenly reunion?. If you, a Christian wife, are an attendant upon any church, and your unconvert ed husband does not go there because he does not like its preacher, or its music, or its architecture, or its un comfortable crowding, and goes not to nnv hnnsa of WOrshlD. DUt WOUld gO 11 you would accompany him somewhere else, change your church relations. Take your hymnbook home with you today. Say goodby to your rrienos in the neighboring pews, and go with him to any one of a hundred churches tin his soul is saved and be joins you m me march to heaven. More important than that ring on the third finger of your left hand it is that your heavenly Fa ther command the angel of mercy, con intr vonr husband at his conversion, as in the parable of old, "Put a ring cn his hand. The Dearest Sacrifice. Kn letter of more importance ever nom thft creat citv of Corinth, situ ated on what was called the "Bridge of the Sea," and glistening with sculp ture and gated with a style of braes the magnificence of which the following ages have not been able to successiuuy imitatn and overshadowed by the Acro Corinthus, a fortress of rock 2, 000 feet high I say no letter ever came to tbat great city of more importance tnan that letter in wbicb I'aui puis xne iwu startling questions: What knowest thou, O wife; whether thou sbalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy -nrifo?" Tha dearest saenbee on tne part of the one is cheap if it rescue the ... a. 1- other. Better go to tbe smanesi, wean oct most insignificant church on earth W f w Cj and be copartners in eternal bliss than ... i i to co tniir pnrthlv memDersniP in muoi gorgeously attractive church while your companion stays outsiae or evangeiai r.ririirp. Better have the drowning saved by a scow cr a sloop than let him nr ber so down wbile you san dj m the gilded cabins of a Majestic or cam nania. Second remark: If botb or tne mar- ... ritx. rnn-nlp be Christians, but one is o Tintnrflllv constructea mat n is im nneciip tn ptiiov the services of a par- LlWwlW.V.w w J .. . tiriiar nenCTniinaiiou. auu iuo vku r,r en BPrtnrian or punctilious, let the one less particular go with the other who, is very particular, as ior ujjbcu., I feel as much at home in one denom ination of evanselical Christians as an- rfKcr jind I think I must have been v, verv np.ir the line. I like the iwiu -. " .niptnn roll of the Episcopal liturgy, ,ta. t Ht thfl anonfaneity of the Metho- dlits aad I like the importaaee given t w. nil dM o C;r2es & at vwx ha mklfme doctrine of the prCaVv(riivi and I like many of the nthpn inst a much as any I have men tioned and I could happily live and rro-ii nnd difl and be buried from any f the Rnt others are born with a libirif r tout. so unbending, so in exorable for some denomination that it tan rnflitive necessity tbey bave tbeaa vantage of that one. What they were ha in ecclesiasticism was xmri ttpn in the sides of their cradle, if fcn fathpr nnd mother had eyes keen enough to see it They would not stop x.i-nrr rmtil thev had nut In their hand.r as a plaything a Westminster Catechism or the Thirty-nine Articles. Th Tcfcola current of tbeir tempera and thought and character runs into one sect of religionists as naturally tha .Tnmea river into the Cbesapeas:a It would be a torture to such persons to be anywhere outside or that cne cnurcu. Now, let tbe wife or husband who is not so constructed sacrifice the milder -.far-enna for the one more inflexible and rigorous. Let the grapevine follow d sinuosities or tbe oaK or hickory. Abram. the richer in flocks , of Christian grace, should say to Ixt, who is built on a smaller scale: "Let JUNE 16. 1899. . I I . there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my herdmen and thy herdmen. Is not the whole land before thee?" As you can be edi fied and happy anywhere, go with your companion to the church to which he or she must go or be miserable. A&ree to Differ. Bemark the third: If both the mar ried couple are very strong in their sec tarianism, let them attend the different churches preferred. It is not necessary that you attend the same church. Re ligion is between your conscience and your God. Like Abram and Lot, agree to differ. When on Sabbath morning you come out of your heme together and one goes one way and the ether the other, heartily wifch each other a good sermon and a time of profitable devo tion, and when you meet again atthe noonday repast let it "bo evident each to each, and to your children, and to the hired help, that you have both been on the Mount of Transfiguration, al though you went up by different paths, and that you have both been fed by the bread of life, though kneaded by differ- ent hands in different trays and basea in different ovens. "But how about the children?" I am often asked by scores of parents. Let them also make tbeir own choice. They will grow up with reverence for both the denominations fpd hv father and mother if von. bv holv lives, commend those de nominations. If the father lives the better life, they will have the more fa vorable opinion cf his denomination. If the mother lives the better life, they XI IUW UJUIUC1 urea mo " -7 will have the more favorable opinion of "hnth UCt UCUUUllUailUU.

In olden times in England before the modern street lamps were invented ev ery householder was expected to have a lantern suspended in front of his house, and the cry of tbe watchmen In London as they went along at. eventide was. "Hang out your lights 1" Instead cf disputing in your home about the dif ferent kinds of lantern, as a watchman on the walls of Zion I cry, "Let your light so shine before men that they, seeing your good works, may glorify your Father which is in heaven 1" Hang out your lights! You" may have a thou and ideas about religion an3 yet not the great idea of pardoning mercy. It is not the number of your ideas, but the greatness of them. A mouse hath terr offsprings in benest, while tke lioness hath one in ber lair. All Ideas about forms and ceremonies and church government put together are not worth the one idea of getting to heaven your self and taking your family with you. But do not reject Christianity, as many do, because there are so many sects. Standing in Westminster hotel, London, I looked out of the window and kw three clocks, as near as I can remember, one on the parliament house, another on St. Margaret's chapel, an other on Westminster abbey, and they were all different One said 12 o'clock at noon, another said five minutes be fore 12. another said five minutes after 12. I mieht as well have concluded that there is no such thing as time, be l . , . cause the three timepieces were differ- I pnt. aa for vou to conclude that there i . , , is no such thing as pure Christianity, hpennae the churches differ in ntatpmpnt of it But let us all rejoice that, although part of our family may worship on earth in one church and part In an other nVmrrh. or. bowed at the same altar in a compromise of preferences, too a -ra ir rrfpflmen. on tne wav to a perfect church, where, all our prefer acaa wiU be ruHV, KTailHea. varea ... - m mm i;c .
