TALMAGF3 PREACHES ; :i UPON A (GRAND THEME. The Home as a Test of Character, as a Safe guard, as a School and aa a Type of Heav en A Beautiful Dream ; f ' This sermon of Dr. Talmage will set many memories ringing' with the good old times. His subject; was '"Harbor of Home" and the text Mark v, 19, "Go home to. thy friends and j tell . them pow great things the Lord hath dope for j thee." There are a great; many people longing for some grand sphere ih which to serve God. They admire Luther at the diet of Worms, and only i wish thatj they had some such great opportunity in which to display their Christian: prowess. They admire Paul making Felix tremble, and they only wish that they had some such grand occasion in which to preach righte ousness, temperance and judgment to come. All they want Is an opportunity to exhibit their Christian heroism. Now the apostle comes to us, and he practically says, "I will show you a place where you can exhibit all that is grand and beauti ful and glorious in Christian character, and that is the domestic circle." If one is not faithful In an insignificant sphere, he will not be faithful In a re sounding sphere. If Peter will not help the cripple at the gate of the temple, he will never be able to preach 1 3,000 souls into the kingdom at the Pentecost. If Paul will not take pains to Instruct in the way cf salvation the sheriff of the Phil lppian dungeon, he will never make Felix tremble. He who ;is not faithful in a skirmish would not ;be faithf ulj In an Ar mageddon. The fact is, we are: all placed in just the position In which we can most grandly serve God, and we ought not to be chiefly thoughtful abodt some spHere of usefulness which we may after awhile gain, but the all absorbing question with you and with me ought to be, "Lord, what wilt thou have me Xnow j and here) to do?" ' - . V v :,'. SIGNIFICANCE OF HOME. There is one word ! In my text - around which the most of our thoughts will to day revolve. That word "i is home. Ask ten different men the' meaning of that word and they will give you ten different definitions. To one it means love at the hearth, it means plenty at the table, in dustry at the workstand, : intelligence at the books, devotion at the altar. To him it means a greeting at. the door and a smile at the chair. Peace hovering like winps. Joy clapping its hands with laughter. Life a tranquil , lake. Pillowed on the ripples sleep . the shadows. . Ask another man what home Is and he will tell you it is want looking out of a cheerless fire grate and kneading hunger in an empty bread ,tray. iThel damp air shivering with curses. No Bible on the shelf. ChildTn, robbers : and (murderers in embryo. Vile songs their lullaby. Ev ery face a picture of ruin. Want in the background and sin! staring ) from the front. Nr Sabbath wave rolling over that doorsill. Vestibule of !the pit. Shad ow of infernal walls. Furnace for forging everlasting chains. Faggots for an unending-funeral pile. Awful word! Tt is snelled -with curses, it weeps with ruin, it chokes with woe. - it sweats) with the death agony of despair, vj - The word borne in the One case means no,me in t" other case means everything ter- rinc.

Life is the United States army on the na tional road' to Mexico, a long march, with ever and anon a skirmish and a bat tle. At eventide we pltcn our tent ana stack our arms. We hang up tne war caBand lay our head on the knapsack. We sleep until the morrjingl bugle calls us to marching and i action. How pleas ant it is to rehearse the victories and the surprises and the attacks of the day. seated by the sun campnre pi uus uumc clrclel ! 1 1 ,, Yes, life is a stormy Isea.

Words and deeds and example are the seed of character, and children are very apt to be the second edition of their par ents. Aoranam negat Isaac, so virtue is apt to go down in the ancestral line, but Herod begat Archlaus, so Iniquity is transmitted. What vast responsibility comes upon parents In view of this sub ject!. . . -. Olu make your home the brightest place on earth If you would charm your chil dren. 10 xne nign patn 01 virtue and recti tude and religion! Do not always turn the blinds, the wrong way. Let the light which puts gold on the . gentian and spots the pansy pour into your dwellings. Do not expect the little feet to keen step to a dead march. Do not cover up your wans . witn sucn pictures as West's "Death on a Pale Horse" or Tintoretto's "Massacre of the Innocents." Rather cover them, if you have pictures, with "The Hawking Party," and "The Mill by the Mountain Stream," and "The Fox Hunt," and "The Harvest Scene," and "The Saturday Night Marketing." - , CHEERFULNESS. r - ; Get you "no hint of - cheerfulness from grasshopper's leap and lamb's frisk, and quail's whistle, and garrulous streamlet, which, from the rock at the mountain top clear down ' to the meadow ferns under the shadow of the steep, comes looking for the steepest place to leap off at and talking just to hear itself talk? If all the skies hurtled with tempest and everlasting storm wandered over the sea, and -every mountain stream went raving madi frothing at the mouth with mad foam, and there were nothing but si moons ; among the hills, and there were neither lark's carol nor humming bird's trill,'- nor waterfall's dash, but only bear's bark and panther's scream and wolf's howl, then you might well gather into your homes only the shadows. But when God has strewn the earth and the heavens with beauty and with gladness, let us take into our home circles all inno cent ; hilarity, all brightness and all good cheer. A dark home makes bad boys and bad girls in preparation for bad men and bad women. , , Above all, my friends, take Into your homes Christian principle. Can It be that in any of the comfortable homes of my congregation the voice of prayer is never lifted? What! No thanksgiving In the morning for care? How. my brother, my sister will you answer God In the day of Judgment -with reference to your chll-' dren?i It Is a plain question, and there fore I ask it. In the tenth chapter of Jeremiah God says he will nour out his fury upon the families that call not upon nis name, nn, parents, wnen you are dead and gone and the moss Is covering the Inscription of the tombstone, will your children look back and think - of father and mother at family prayer? Will they take the old family Bible and onen it and see the mark of tears of contri tion and tears of eonsoHng promise, went-By eyes long before gone out Into darkness? Oh, if you do not inculcate Christian principle In the hearts of vour children, and you do not warn them against evil, and you do not invite them to holiripss and to God. and thev wander off Into dissipation and Into Infidelity and at last make shinwreck of their immortal ouis. on their deathbed and In the day cr judgment they win curse you! Set ted bv the register or the stove, what If on the wall shoiild come out the history of your tt children? What a history the mortal and immortal life of your loved ones!

Again, I remark that home is a type of heaven. To bring us to that home Christ left his home. Far up and far back In the history of heaven there came a period when its most illustrious citizen was about to absent himself. He was not going to sail from beach to beach. We have often done that. He was not going to put out from one hemisphere to anoth er hemisphere. Many -of us have done that. But he was to sail from world to world, the spaces unexplored and im mensities untraveled. No world had ever a""1" f r-" - windows and the bajconies were thronged and! on and on, and down and down and down he sped, until one night, with only one to greet him, he arrived. His disem barkation so unpretending, so quiet, that It was not known on earth until the ex citement in the cloud gave intimation that something grand and glorious had happened. Who comes there? From what port did he sail? Why was this the place of his destination? I question the shepherds. I question the camel drivers. I question the angels. I have found out. He was an exile. But the werld has had plenty of exiles. Abraham, an exile from XTr of the Chaldees, John, an exile from Eohesus:kosciusko. an exile from Poland: Mazzini. an exile from Rome: Emmet, an exile from Ireland; "Victor Hugo, an exile from France: Kossuth, an exile from Hungary. But this one of whom I speak today had such chilling reception for not even a hostler went out with his lantern to help him In that he is mere to be celebrated than any other expatri ated one of earth or heaven. It Is 93,000,000 miles from here to the sun, and all astPnomers agree in saying that our solar system is only one of the small wheels of the great machinery of the universe, turning round some great 'center so far distant it is beyond all imagination and calculation, and if, as some think, that great center in the dis tance is heaven Christ came far from home when he came here. Have you ever thought of the home sickness of Christ, Some of you know what ryaeslekness is when you have bean -only a few weeks aDseni il )ii4 . quuiciuv vin lic. wuwh was 83 vears away from home. Some of you feel homesickness when you are 100 or 1,000 miles away from the domestic circle. Christ was more millions of miles away from home than you could caleu-i late it ail your ine you qiq naming out calculate. Yoy knew what it" is to be homesick evn amid pleasurable sur roundings, but Christ slept In huts, and he was athlrst. and he was a-hungared. and he was on the way from being born In one man's barn to being buried In another man's srrave. I have read how the Swiss, when they are far away from their" native country, at the sound of their national air get so homesick that they fall into- melancholy, ana some times thev die under the homesickness. But, oh, the homesickness of Christ! Poverty, homesick - for celestial riches, perseentlrtn- homeaick for hoaanna. Weariness, homesick for rest. Homesick for angelic and archangelic companion ship. Homesick to go out ot the night and out o the storm ana tn.e wona i ex ecration, ani aU that homesickness suf fered te get us home. At our best estate we are only pilgrims and strangers here. "Heaven is our "home." Death wili never knock at the door of that mansion, and in all that country there Is not a single grave. How glad parents are In holiday thne to, gath er their children home again.. Put have noticed that almost always there ts a son or a daughtej absent absent from home, perhaps absent from the country, oerhaos absent from the world.

One ! night, lying on my lounge when very tired, my children all around about me In :f ull romp and hilarity and laughter on tne lounge, nan awake and half asleep, 1 dreamed this dream: I was in tar country.

And I went late the chapel Of the great town, and I sale, "Where do the poor worship, and where are the hard benches on which they sat? And the answer was made me, "We have no poor in this country," And then I wandered out to find the hovels of ' the destitute and I found mansions of aimber-and ivory and gold, but not a tear could I see, not a sigh could I hear, and I was bewilder ed, and I sat down under tfct branches of a great tree and said: "Where am I? And whence comes all this scene?" And then out from among the leaves and up me nowery patns ana access the bright streams were came a eatirul group, tnrongmg an aoout me. ana as I saw tnem come I thought I knew their step. and as they shouted I thought I knew their voices, but then taey were so gloriously arrayed In apparel, such as I had never before witnessed 4 that I bowed as stranger to stranger. Bat when again they clapped their hands f and shouted, "Welcome, welcome!" the! mystery all vanished, and I found that- time had gone and - eternity had come.' and we were all together again in earew home in heaven. And I looked around, and I said, "Are we all here?" and the voices of many generations responded, "All here!". And while tears of gladness were raining - down our cheeks, and the branches of the Lebanon t eedars were clapping their hands, and the towers of the great city were chiming their wel come, we all together began ito leap and shout and sing, "Home, home, home!"

There was ho lack of life or. speculation In the cotton market . today, s Early - Liverpool cables reported a decline of 3-64d In that market, and many operators here, already Worn out with waiting for an advance, loit no time In selling out their cotton, j Our opening was 8 points lower than Satur day's close, the nrst sales" of May being made at 7.04. The market made a feeble ettort to rally aud xu.ay advanced to. t uti but the desire to liquiuaie naa become too general and this, together wUH the execution - of many stop-loss oraerd re sulted in a further sharp break, the i ice ot May dropped to S.ito. Uhe saie ttt a large block of print cloths at Fall River then was reported and served as the most encouraging feature of the day, to check the decline. The shorts covered freely and prices rallied to 6.S9 for May,' at which figure the market closed.- The bears are jubilant over the bieak today and predict that It is the beginning of a serious decline, but" we think the liquida tion has materially strengthened the position of the market and the purchases of cotton will prove profitable. KIORDAN & CO. (By Southern Press.) - New York, February 8. The Sun's cot ton review says: Spot cotton here de clined 1-16C, with sales of 233 bales for spinning and 100 delivered on contracts. Middling uplands was 714c against 8 3-16c last year. The speculation in cotton to day . was the broadest and most active witnessed in many weeks. -The fluctua tions In prices were frequent and sharp early in the day and the trading included orders from Liverpool, the south and lo cal outsiders. Liverpool was weak and selling orders - were received from that market. ' The movement to the ports was larger than had been expected, and tired longs here sold freely, causing a sharp break In prices. The spot markets at the south- were generally lower and quiet, the estimated receipts at Houston and New Orleans were considered large, and. there wasfa disposition- here to support prices. Before the close, r nowever, the decline was checked on reports that sales of 750,000 pieces of print cloths, 600, 000 futures and 250,000 spots had been sold at Fall River at 2 9-16. This induced some of the early sellers-to buy. back their cotton, and a slight rally ensued. but the last prices showed a sharp decline for the day. net : The Appeal In the Three Friends Case Washington, February 8. A certifi cate was filed today in the office of; thes clerk of the supreme court signed! by Clerk McKee, of the court of "appeals from the Fifth circuit, located at New Orleans, setting forth that an. appeal had been filed in that court, from the decree of the-Florida court which had original jurisdiction of the proceedings against the Three Friends, an alleged Cuban filibustering steamer.
