REY. PR, TALMABE. The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun day Sermon, nbecti FHhWlthontWorki. Text: "Faith without icorks is dead. Jas. li., 30. The Roman Catholic Church has been charged with patting too much stress upon good worfcg and no enouzh upon faith. I charge Protestantism with putting not enough stress upon good works as connected with sal vatiou. Good works will nerer save man, but if a man have not good works he has no real faith and no genuine religion. There are those who depend upon the fact that they- are all ri?ht inside, while their conduct is wrong outside. Their religion for the most part is made up of talk vigorous talk, fluent talk, boastful talk, perpetual talk. They will entertain you by the hour in telling you how good they are. They come up to such a higher life that we have no patience with ordinary Christians in the plain discharge pf their duty. As near as I can tell, this ocean craft is mostly sail and very little tonnage. Foretopmast staysails, fore topmast studding sail, maintopsail, miz tentopsall everything from flymg jib to mizzen spanker, but making no useful voy age. JJow the world has got tired of thiaand it wants a relizion that will work into ail the circumstances of life. We do not want a new religion, but the old religion applied in all possible direction. Yonder is a river with fteep and rocky bank?, and it roars like a young Niagara as it rolls on over its rough bed. It does noth ing but talk about itself all the way from its source in the mountain to the place where it empties into the sea The banks are so iteep the cattle cannot come down to drink. It does not run one fertilizing rill into the adjoining field. It has not one grist mill or factory on either side. It sulks in wet weather with chilling fogs. No one cares when that river is born among the rocks, and no one cares when it dies into the sea. But yonder is another river, and it mosses its banks with the warm tides, and it rooks with floral lullaby the water lillies asleep on its bosom. It invites ; herdSspf cattle, and flocks of sheep, ani coveys of birds' to come there and drink. It has three grist mills on one side and six cotton factories on the other. It is the wealth of two hundred miles of luxuriant farms. The birds of heaven chanted when it was born in the mountains, and the ocean shipping will press in from the sea to hail it as it comes down to the Atlantic coast. The one river is a man who lives for himself, the other river is a - man who lives for others. Do you know how the site of the ancient city of Jerusalem was chosen? There were two brothers who had adjoining farms. The one brother had a large family, the other had co family. The brother with a large family said, "There is my (brother with no family; he must be lonely, and I will try to cheer him up, and I will take some o fthe sheaves from my field in the night time and set, them over on his farm nd say nothing about it." The other brother said, "My brother has a large family, and it is very dif ficult for him to support them, and I will help him along, and I will take some of the sheaves from my own farm in the night time . and set them over on his farm and say noth-. log about it." So the work of transference went on night after night, and night after night, but every morning things seemed to be just as they were, for though sheaves had been subtracted from each farm, sheaves had also been added, and the brothers were per plexed and could not understand. But one night the brothers happened to meet while making this generous transference, and the pot where they met was so sacred that it was chosen as the site of the city of Jerusa lem. If that tradition should prove un founded it will nevertheless stand as a beau tiful allegory setting forth the idea that wherever a kindly and generous and loving act is performed that is the spot fit for some temple of commemoration. I have often spoken to you about faith, tut now I' speak to you about works, for "f aith without works is dead." I think you will agree with me in the statement that the great want of this world is more practical religion. v e want practical religion to go into all merchandise. It will supervise the labeling of goods. It will not allow a man to say a thing was made in one factory when it was made in another. It will not allow the merchant to say that watch was manu factured in Geneva, Switzerland, when it was manufactured in Massachusetts. It will not allow the merchant to say that wine came from Madeira when it came from California. Practical religion will walk along by the store shelves and tear oil all the tags that make misrepresentation. It will not allow ;the merchant to fay that is pure coffee when .dandelion . root and chicory and other in ' gradients go into it. It will not allow him to cay that is pure sugar when there are in it and and ground glass. . When Dracticat relizion irets its full swincr fan the world it will go down the streets, and it will come to that thoe store and rip off the fictitious soles of many a fine looking pair of shoes, and show that it is pasteboard '. sandwiched between tLe sound leather. And 'this practical religion will go right into a grocery store, and it will pull out the plug of ;all the adulterated sirups, and it will dump fintothe ash barrel in front of the store the cassia bark that is sold for cinnamon and l the brick dust that is sold for cayenne pepper, and it will shake out' the Prussian I blues from the tea leaves, and i will silt ; from the flour plaster of Paris and bone dust and soapstone, and it will by chemical I analysis separate the one quart of Ridge- wooa water from the few honest drops of cow's milk, and it' 'will throw out the live animalcules from the. brown suar. There has been so much adulteration of articles of food that it is an amazement to me that there is a healthy man or woman ia America. Heaven only knows what they yut into the spices, and into the sugars, and Into the butter, and into tha apothecary drusrs. But chemical analysr? and the microscope have made wonde.-fnl revela tion's. The board of health in Massachusetts an;ttyz?d a great amount of what wa called pur euee and found in it not one particle of coffee. In England there i a law that . forbi is the putting of alum in bread. The public authorities examined fifty-one pack ages, of bread an i fo-ind them all guilty. The honest physician, writing a prescrip tion, does noi. know but t hit it may brin death instead of health to his patient, be cause there may be one of the drugs weak ened by a cheaper article, and another drug may be in full force, and so the prescriptiou . may have just the opposite effect intended. Oil of irorm wood, warranted ' pure, from Boston, as. found to ha va forty-one per cent, of resin and alcohol and chloroform. Scammony is one of the most valuable medi cinal drusfe It is very rare, very precious. It is the ap or the gum of a tree or bush in Syria. Tha root of the tree is exposed, an incision ismdinto the root, and then shells are placed at this incision to catrh the sap or toe gum as it arudea. It is very precious, this scammony. But the peasant mixes it with cheaper material; then it is taken to Aleppo, and the merchant there mixes it with a eheaper material; then it cornea on M the wholesale druggist in Lon don or New York, and ha mixes it with a cheaper. D'terial: then it comes to the re tail aruggist, and he mixes it with a cheaper material, and by the time the poor sick man gets it into bis bottle it is ashes and chalk and sand, and some of what has been called pare scammony after analysis has been found to be no scammony at all. Now, practical religion will yet rectify all this. It will go to those hypocritical profes sors of religion who got a "corner" in corn and wheat in Chicago and New York, send ing price up and up until they were oeyond the reach of the poor, keeping these bread ituffs in their own hands, or controlling them until, the prices going up and up and up, they were after awhile ready to sell, and they sold out, making themselves millionaires in one or two years trying to fix th-r mat ter op with the Lord by building a church, or a university, or a hospital deluding tham- lelves with the ide that the Lord woull &s 10 pleased with the gift He would forget the iwmdle. Now, as such a man may not hare iny liturgy in which to say his prayers, I will compose for him one which he practi jally is making: 0 Lord, we, by getting a 'corner' in breadstuffs, swindled the people of the United States out of ten million dol lars, and made suffering all up and down the land, and we would like to compromise tms matter with Thee. Thou knowest it was a scaly job, but &en it was smart. Now, hen we compromise it. Take one per cent, of the profits, and with that one per cent, you can build an asylum for these poor miserable ragamuffins of the street, and I will take a yacht and go to Europe, for ever and ever, amen H' Ah, my friends, if a man hath gotten his estate wrongfully, and he build a line of hos- Eltals and universities from here to Alaska, e cannot atone for it. After a while this man who has been getting a "corner" in wheat dies, and then Satan gets a "corner" on him. He goes into a great, long Black Friday. There is a "break" in the market. According to Wall street parlance, he wiped others out, and now he is himself wiped out. No collaterals on which to make a spiritual loan. Eternal defalcation! But this practical religion will not only rectify all merchandise, it will also rectify all mechanism and all toil. A time will come when a man will work as faithfully by the job as he does by the day . You say when a thing is slightingly done, "Oh, that was done by the job !" You can tell by the swift ness or slowness with which a hackman drives whether he is hired by the hour or by the excursion. If he is hired by the excur sion he whips tip the horses, so as to get around and get another customer. All styles of work have to be inspected. Ships inspected, horses inspected, machinery in spected. Boss to watch the journeyman. Capitalist coming down unexpectedly to watch .the boss. Conductor of a city car sounding the punch bell to prove his honesty as a passenger hands to him a clipped nickel. All things must be watched and inspected. Imperfections in the wood covered with putty. Garments 'warranted to last until you put them on the third time. Shoddy in 11 t 7 i . i.ii.: T": i.i i ail Kinas oi ciotuiug. vuruiuus. x muu.. Diamonds for a dollar and a half. Book bindery that holds on until you read the third chapter. Spavined horses by skillful dose of jockeys for several days made to look spry. Wagon tires poorly put on. Horses poorly shod. Plastering that cracks without any provocation and falls off. Plumbing that needs to be plumbed. Im perfect car wheel tnatTialts tne whole train with a hot box. So little practical religion in the mechanism of the world. I tell you, my friends, the law of man will never rectify these things. It will be the all per Tading influence of the practical religion of Jesus Christ that will make the change for the better. Yes, this practical religion will also go into agriculture, which is proverbially honest, but needs to be rectified, and it will keep the farmer from sending to the New York mar ket veal that is too young to kill, and when the farmer farms on shares it will keep the man who does the work from making his half three-fourths, and it will keep the farmer from building his posts and rail fence on his neighbor'3 premises, and it will make him shelter his cattle in the winter storm, and it will keep the old elder from working on Sun day afternoon in the new ground when no body sees him . And this practical religion will hover over the houss, and over the barn, and over thetirld, and over the orchard- Yes, this practical religioa of which I speak i will come into the learned professions. Th3 lawyer will feel his responsibility in defend ing innocence, and arraigning evil, and ex pounding the law, and it will keep him from charging for briefs he never wrote, and for pleas he never made, ani for percentages he never earned, and from robbing widow and orphan because they are defenseless. Yes, this practical religion will come into the Ehysician's life, and he will feel the responsi ility as the conservator of the nublic health, a profession honored by the fact that Christ Himself was a physician. And it will make him honest, and when he does not understand a case he will say so, not tryiug to cover up lack of diagnosis with ponderous technicali ties.' or send the patient to a recklosa dni store because the apothecary happens to pay! a percentage on the prescriptions sent. And this practical religion will come to the school teacher, making her feel her re sponsibility in preparing our youth for use fulness, and for happiness, and for honor, and will keep her from giving a sly box to a dulthed, chastising him for what he cannot help, and sending discourgement all through the after years of a lifetime. This practical: religion will also come to th newspaper men, and it will help them in the gathering of the news, and it will help them in setting forth the best interests of society, and it will . seep them from putting the sins of the world in larger type than its virtues, and i its mistakes than its achievements. Yes. this religion,, this practical religion, will come and put its hand on what is called i good society, elevatel society, successful so-. ciety, so that people w 11 have their oxpendi- i tures within their income, and they will ex- change the hypocritical "not at. home" for i the honest explanation "too tired" or "too busy to see you," and will keep innocent re ception from becoming intoxicating convivi ality. Yes, there is a great opportunity for mis sionary work in what are called the success ful classes of society. It is no rare thing now to see a fashionable woman intaxtei in the stre?t, or the rail car, or the restau-. rant. The number ol fins ladies who drink too much is increasing. Perhaps you may find her at the reception in most" exalted company, but she has made too many, visits to the wine room, and now her eye is glassy, and after a while her cheek is unnaturally flushed, and then she falls into fits of excruciating laughter about nothing, and then she offers sickening flatteries, telling some homely man how well he looks, and then she is helped into the carriage, and by the time the carriage get to her home it takes the husband and coachman to get her up the stairs. The report is. She was taken suddenly ill at a german. Ahl no. She took too much champagne, and mixed liauors, and got drunk. That was all. Yes, this practical religion will have to come in and fix up the marriage relation in America. There are members of churches who have too many wives and too many hus bands. Society needs to be exjpurgated and washed and fumigated and Christianized, We have missionary societies to reform Elm street, in New York, Bedford street, Phila delphia, and Shoreditch, London, and the Brooklyn docks; but there is need of an or ganization to reform much that is going on in Beacon street and Madison square and Rittenbocse square and West End and Brooklyn Heights and Brooklyn Hill. We want this practical religion not only to take hold of what are called the lower ciasxM, but to take bold of what are called the higher classes. The trouble is that people have an idea they can do all their religion on Sunday with hymn book and prayer book and liturgy, and some of them ut in church rolling up their eyes as though they were ready for translation, when their Saboath is bounded on all sides by an inconsistent life, and while you are expecting to come out from under their arms the wingsof an angel, there come out from their forehead the horns of a beast. 10 It FJLRJI AXD 01IIDE5. 1 There has got to be a new departure m religion. I do not say a new religon. Oh, no; but the old brought to new appliances. In our time we have had the daguerreotype, and the ambrotype, and the photograph, but it is the same old sun, and these arts are only new appliances of the old sunlight. Bo this glorious Gospel is just what we want to pnotograph the image of God on one soul, daguerreotype it on another soul. Not a new Gospel, but the old Gospel put to new work. In our time we hare had the telegraphic invention, and the telephonic invention, and the electric light invention, but they are all the children of old elec tricity, an element that the philosophers have a long while known much about. So this electric Gospel needs to flash its light on the eyes and ears and souls of men, and became a telephonic medium to make the deaf hear, a telegraphic medium to dart in vitation and warning to all nations; an elec tric light to illuminate the eastern and west ern hsmiypheres. Not a new Gospel, buttha old Gospel doing a new work. Now you say, "That ia very beautiful theory, but is it possible to take one's relig ion into all the avocations and business of life?" Yes, and I will give you a few sneci mens. Medical doctors who toV their re ligion into everyiay life: Dr. John Arer cromhie, of Aberdeen, the greatest Scottish physician of the day, his book on "Diseases of the Brain and Spinal Cord," no more won derful than his hook on "The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings," and often kneeling at the bedside of his patients to commenlthein to God in prayer. Dr. John llr.iwn, of Ed nburgh, immortal as an author, dnnf under the benediction "of the sick of Edinburgh, myself remembering him as he sat in his study in Edinburgh talking to me about Christ and his hope of heaven. And a score of Christian family physicians in Brooklyn just as good as they were. - Lawyers who came I their religion nto their profession: The latt Lord Cairns, the Queen's adviser for many years, the highest leral authority in Great " Britain Lord Cairns, every summer in his vacation, preach ing as an Evangelist among the poor of his country. John McLean, Judge of the Su preme Court of the United States and Presi dent of the American Sunday School Union, fealing more satisfaction in the latter office than in the former. And score of Christian lawyers as eminent in the church of God as they are eminent at the bar. Merchants who too'c their religion into everyday life: Arthur Tappari. derided in his day because ne established that system by which we come to find out the commer cial standing of business men, starting that entire system, derided for it then, himself, as I knjw him wall, in moral character At. Monday mornings inviting to a room in the ton of his storehouse the clerks of his estab- lisament, asking them about their worldly interests and taeir spiritual interests, then giving out a hymn, leading in prayer, giv ing them a few words of good advice, asking them what church they attended on the Sab bath, what the text was whether they had any especial troubles o: their own. Arthur Tappan, I never heard his eulogy pro nounced. I pronounce it now. And other merchants just as good. William E. Dodge, in th9 iron business; Moses H. Grinnell, in the shippiug business; Petar Cooper, in the glue business. Scores oL men just as good as they were. Farmers who take thair religion into their occupation: Why, this minute their horsos and wagons stand arouud all th9 meeting houses in Amarica. They began this day by a prayer to God, and when they get home at noon, after they hava put their horses up, will o.Ter pray&i to God at the table, seeking a blessing, and this summer there will be in their fields not one dishonest head of rye, not one dishonest ear of corn, not one dis honest appje. Worshiping God to-day away up among ha Berkshire Hills,or away down amid the lagoons oi Florida, or away out amid the mines of Coloralo, or along the banks of the Passaic and the Raritan, where I knew them batter because I went to school with them. Mechanics .who took their religion into their occupations: James Brindiev, the fa mous millwright; Nathaniel Bowditch, the famous ship chandler; Elihu Burritt, the fa mous blacksmith, and hundreds and thou sands of strong arms which have made the hammer, and the saw, and the adze, and the drill, and the ax sound in the grand march of our national industries. Give your heart to God and then fill your life with good works. Consecrate to Him your store, your shop, your banking house, your factory and your home. They say no one will hear it. God will hear it. That is enough. You hardly know of any one else than Wellington as connected with the vic tory at Waterloo; but he did not do tti? hard fighting. The hard fighting was done by the Somerset cavalry, and the Ryland regiments, and Kempt's infantry, and the Scots Grays and the Life Guards. Who cares, if only the day was won ! In the latter part of the last century a girl in England became a kitchen maid in a farm house. She had many styles of work, and much hard wort. Time rolled on, and she married the son of a waver of Halifax. Tney were industrious; they saved money enough after a while to build them a home. On the moraing of the day when they were to enter that home the young wife rosa at 4 o'clock, entered the front door yard, knelt down, consecrated the place to God, and there mate this solemn vow: "O LorJ, if Thou will shall have a share of it Tim- rolled on and a fortune rolled in. Children grew up around them, and they all .became affluent; one, a member of parliament, .in a public place declare! tnat his success came f rom that prayer of his mother in the door yard. All of them ware aSlueut. Four thousand hands in their factories. They ouilt dwell ing houses for Laborers at cheap rents, and when they were invalid and could not pay they had the houses for nothing. One of these spas came to this country, ad mired our parks, went back, bought "land, ; opened a great puMic park, and made it a present to the city of Halifax, England They endowed an orphanage, tbey endowed l two" almshouses. All England has heard of the generosity and the good works of the Crosslays. Moral Consecrate to God your small means and your humble surroundings, and you will have larger means andcrauacr surroundings. Godliness is profitaTSe unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." Have faith in God by all means, but remember that faith without works is dead." wniTKWAsmsfs.
