'tarveling church
Brooklyn, Oct. 15.—The character of
the hymns given out by Rev. Dr. Tal
lage in the Brooklyn Tabernacle this
forenoon called for the unusual power
■of congregational singing. Organ and
•cornet and the voices of the thousands
of worshipers made the place resound
■with music. The subject was “Helpful
Churches,” the text being Psalms xx, 2,
“Send thee help from the sanctuary.”
If you should ask 50 men what the
church is, they would give you 50 differ
ent answers. One man would say, “It is a
convention of hypocrites.” Another, “It
is an assembly of people who feel them
selves a great deal better than others,”
Another, “It is a place for gossip, when
wolverine dispositions devour each oth
er.” Another, “It is a place for the c
tivation of superstition and cant
other, “It is an arsenal where theologis
go to get pikes and muskets and sht
Another, “It is an art gallery, where i» , en
go to admire grand arches, and exquj# 3 ite
fresco, and musical warble, and K the
Dantesque in gloomy imagery.” r ^ An
other man would say: “It is tlief Ucst
place on earth except my own homi
I forget thee, O Jerusalem! let m\]
hand forget her cunning.”
Now, my friends, whatever tlieg church
is, my text tells you what it out
—a great, practical, homely, om

sits down in church Aieadachey from the
week’s engagements. Perhaps he wishes
he had tarried at home on the lounge
with the newspapers and the slippers.
That man wants to be cooled off and
graciously diverted. The first wave of
the religious service ought to dash clear
over the hurricane decks and leave him
stripping with holy and glad and heav
enly emotion. “Send thee help from
the sanctuary.”
SABBATH SONGS.
In the first place, sanctuary help ought
to come from the music. A woman dy
ing in England persisted in singing to
the last moment. The attendants tried
to persuade her to stop, saying it would
exhaust her and make her disease worse.
She answered: “I must sing. I am only
practicing for the heavenly choir.” Mu
sic on earth is a rehearsal for music in
heaven. If you and I are going to take
part in that great orchestra, it is high
time that we were stringing and thrum
ming our harps. They tell us that Thal-
berg and Gottsclialk never would go into
a concert until they had first in private
rehearsed, although they were such mas
ters of the instrument. And can it be
that we expect to take a part in the great
oratorio of heaven if we do not rehearse
here? But I am not speaking of the next
world. Sabbath song ought to set all the
week to music. We want not more har
mony, not more artistic expression, but
more volume in our church music.
Now I am no worshiper of noise, but
I believe that if our American churches
would, with full heartiness of soul and
full emphasis of voice, sing the songs of
V Zion this part of sacred worship would
have tenfold more power than it has
now. Why not take this part of the sa
cred service and lift it to where it ought
to be? All the annoyances of life might
be drowned out of that sacred song. Do
you tell me that it is not fashionable to
eing very loudly? Then, I say, away
with the fashion. We dam back the
great Mississippi of congregational sing
ing and let a few drops of melody trickle
through the dam. I say, take away the
dam and let the billows roar on then-
way to the oceanic heart of God.
Whether it is fashionable to sing loudly
or not, let us sing -with all possible em
phasis.
We hear a great deal of the art of
Binging, of music as an entertainment,
of music as a recreation. It is high time
we heard something of music as a help—
a practical help. In order to do this we
must only have a few hymns. New
-tunes and new hymus every Sunday
1 make poor congregational singing. Fifty
^ hymns are enough for 00 years. The
" ‘ Episcopal church prays the same pray-
■. era every Sabbath, and year after year
■ end century after century. For that
reason they have the hearty responses,
us take a hint from that fact, and
lAit us sing the same songs Sabbath after
SaVibath. Only in that way c,an we come
to tfite full force of this exercise. Twen
ty tkcLusand years will not wear out the
bymn^vof William Cowper and Charles
-Weslfey Isaac Watts.
Suppose^ now each person in this au
dience hj£ s brought all the annoyances
* thejr'last 865 days. Fill this room to
ilir.g with sacred song, and you
id drown out all those annoyances
the 365 days, and you would drown
iem out forever. Organ and cornet

laughter and! derision, to board the vos

fire against/the enemy, and by the sh

Oh. ye yvho are high and dry on the
rocks of| melancholy, give a broadside
fire of syrng against your spiritual ene
mies, avid by holy rebound you will
como omt into the calm waters. If we
want t(ft make ourselves happy, we must
make Others happy. “Mythology tells
us of Ampliion, who played his lyre un
til tluo mountains wex - e moved and the
walls/i of Thebes arose, but religion has a
migWitier story to tell of how Christian
sonsI; may build whole temples of eternal
and lift the round earth into sympa-
with the skies. I tarried many nights
London, and I used to hear the bells—
3 small bells of the city—strike the
our of night—one, two, three, four,
nd after they were done striking the
tionr of night, then the great St. Paul’s
cathedral would come in to mark the
hours, making all the other sounds seem
utterly insignificant as with mighty
tongue it announced the hour of the
niglit—every stroke an overmastering
boom.
My friends, it was intended that all
the lesser sounds of the world should bo
drowned out in the mighty tongue of
congregational song beating against the
gates of heaven. Do you know how they
mark the hours in heaven? They have
no clocks, as they have no candles, but
a great pendulum of halleluiah swinging
across heaven from eternity to eternity.
we have three prayers—the opening
prayer, wliat is called the “long prayer,”
and the closing prayer.
There are many people who spend the
first prayer in arranging their apparel
after entrance', and spend tlio second
prayer—the “long prayer”—in wishing
it were through, and spend the last prayer
in preparing to start for home. The
most insignificant part of every reli
gious service is the sermon. The more
important parts are the Scripture les
son and the prayer. The sermon is only
a man talking to a man. The Scripture
lesson is God talking to man. Prayer is
man talking to God. Oh, if we under
stood the grandeur and the pathos of
this exeridse of prayer, instead of being
a dull exercise, we would imagine that
the room was full of divine and angelic
appearances.
But, my friends, the old style of church
will not do the work. We might as well
now try to take all the passengers from
New York to Buffalo by stage coach, or
all the passengers from Albany to Buffa
lo by canalboat, or to do all the battling
of the world with bow and arrow, as
with the old style of church to meet the
exigencies of this day. Unless the church
in our day will adapt itself to the time
it will becomo extinct. The people read
ing newspapers and books all the week,
in alert, picturesque and resounding
style, will have no patience with Sabbath
humdrum.

THU DISCOURSE.
Again I remark that sanctuary help
ought to come from the sermon. Of a
thousand people in this or any other
audience, how many want sympathetic
help? Do you guess a hundred? Do you
guess 500? You have guessed wrong. I
will tell you just the proportion. Out
of a thousand people in this audience
there are just 1,000 who need sympa
thetic help. These young people want
it just as much as the old. The old peo
ple sometimes seem to think they have
a monopoly of the rheumatism, and the
neuralgias, and tho headaches, and the
physical disorders of the world. But I
tell you there are no worse heartaches
than are felt by some of these young
people.
Do you know that much of the work
is done by the young? Raphael died at
87, Richard III at 83, Gustavus Adolphus
died at 38; Innocent III came to his
mightiest influence at 37; Cortez con
quered Mexico at 30; Don John won Le-
panto at 25; Grotius was attorney gen
eral at 24, and I have noticed amid all
classes of men that some of the severest
battles and the toughest work comes be
fore 30. Therefore we must have our
sermons and our exhortation in prayer
meeting all sympathetic with the young.
And so with these people further on
in life. What do these doctors and law
yers and merchants and mechanics care
about the abstractions of religion? What
they want is help to bear the whimsical
ities of patients, the browbeating of le
gal opponents, the unfairness of cus
tomers, who have plenty of fault finding
for every imperfection of handiwork, but
no praise for 20 excellences. What does
that brain racked, hand blistered man
care for Zwingle’s “Doctrine of Original
Sin,” or Augustine's “Anthropology?”
You might as well go to a man who has
the pleurisy and put on his side a plaster
made out of Dr. Purr’s “Treatise on
Medical Jurisprudence.”
While all of a sermon may not be help
ful alike to all if it be a Christian ser
mon preached by a Christian man, there
will be help for every one somewhere.
We go into an apothecary store. We see
others being waited on. We do not
complain because we do not immediate
ly get the medicine. We know our turn
will come after awhile. And so, while
all parts of a sermon may not be appro
priate to our case, if we wait prayerfully
before the sermon is through we shall
have the divine prescription. I say to
these young men who come here Sabbath
by Sabbath, and who are going to preach
the gospel—these theological students—
I say to them, we want in our sermops
not more metaphysics, nor more imagi
nation, nor more logic, nor more pro
fundity.
What we want in our sermons and
Christian exhortations is more sympa
thy. When Father Taylor preached in
the Sailors’ Bethel at Boston, the jack
tars felt that they had help for their du
ties among the ratlines and the forecas
tles. When Richard Weaver preached
to tho operatives in Oldham, England,
all the workingmen felt they had more
grace for the spindles. When Dr. South
preached to kings and princes and prin
cesses, all the mighty men and women
who heard him felt preparation for their
high station.
NECESSITY FOR PRAYER.
Again I remark that sanctuary help
ought to come through the prayers of all
the people. The door of the eternal
storehouse is hung on one hinge—a gold
hinge, the hinge of prayer—and when the
whole audience lay hold of that door, it
must come open. There are here many
people spending their first Sabbath after
some great bereavement. What will
your prayer do for them? How will it
help the tomb in that man’s heart? Here
are people who have not been in church
i before for 10 years. What will your pray
er do for them by rolling over their soul
holy memories?
Here are people in crises of awful temp
tation. They are on the verge of despair
or wild blundering or theft or suicide.
What will your prayer do for them this
morning in the way of giving them
strength to resist? Will you be chiefly
anxious about the fit of the glove that
impression- mako no more impression
on the great masses of the people than
the ordinary business suit that you wear
in Wall street. A tailor cannot make a
a minister. Some of the poorest preach
ers wear the best clothes, and many a
backwoodsman has dismounted from
the saddlebags and in his linen duster
preached a sermon that shook earth and
heaven with its Christian eloquence.
No new gospel, only the old gospel in
a way suited to the time. Nonew church,
but a church to be the asylum, the in
spiration, the practical sympathy and
the eternal help of the people.
CHURCH DOORS.
But while half of the doors of tho
''Lurch are to be set open toward this
1 wlVlfl the other half of the doors of the
church must be set open toward tho
next. You and I tarry here only a brief
space. We want somebody to teach us
how to get out of this life at the right
time nnd in the right way'. Some fall
out of life, some go stumbling out of
life, some go groaning out of life, some
go cui'siug out of life. We want to go
singing, rising, rejoicing, triumphing.
We want half the doors of the church
set in that direction. We want half the
prayers that way, half the sermons that
way. We want to know how to get
ashore from the tumult of this world
into the land of everlasting peace. We
do not want to stand doubting and shiv
ering when we go away from this world.
We want our anticipations aroused to
the highest pitch.
We want to have the exhilaration of a
dying child in England, tho father tell
ing me the story. When ho said to her,
“Is the path narrow?” she answered:
“The jjath is narrow. It is so narrow that
I cannot walk arm in arm with Christ,
so Jesus goes ahead and he says, ‘Mary,
follow.’ ” Through these church gates
set heavenward how many of your friends
and mine have gone? The last time they
were out of the house they came to
church. Tho earthly pilgrimage ended
at the pillar of public worship, and then
they marched out to a bigger and bright- j
er assemblage. Some of them were so j
old they could not walk without a cane j
or two crutches. Now they have eternal |
juvenescence. Or they were so young
they could not walk except as the mater
nal hand guided them. Now they bound
with the hilarities celestial.
The last time we saw them they were
wasted with malarial or pulmonic dis
order, but now they have no fatigue and
no difficulty of respiration in the pure
air of heaven. How I wonder when you
and I will cross over! Some of you have
had about enough of ^ the thumping and
| flailing of this life. A draft from the
fountains of heaven would do you good.
Complete release, you could stand very
well. If you got on the other side and
and had permission to come back, you
would not come. Though you were in
vited to come back and join your friends
on earth, you would say, “No, let me
tarry here until they come. I shall not
risk going back. If a man reaches heaven,
he had better stay there.”
Oh, I join hands with you this morn
ing in that uplifted splendor!
When the shore is won at last.
Who will count the billows past?
In Freybourg, Switzerland, jhere is
the trunk of a tree 400 years old. That
tree was planted to commemorate an
event. About 10 miles from the city
the Swiss conquered the Burgundians,
and a young man wanted to take the
tidings to the city. He took a tree
branch and ran with such speed the 10
miles that when he reached the city wav
ing tho tree branch he had only strength
to cry, “Victory!” and dropped dead.
The tree branch that he carried was
planted, and it grew to be a great tree,
20 feet in circumference, and the remains
of it are there to this day.
My hearer, when you have fought
your last battle with sin and death and
hell, and they have been routed in the
conflict, it will be a joy worthy of cele
bration. Y ou will fly to the city and
cry “Victory!” and drop at the feet of
the Great King. Then the palm branch
of the earthly race will be planted, to be
come the outreaching tree of everlasting
rejoicing.
When shall those eyes thy heaven built
walls
And pearly gates behold.

And streets of shining gold?

Georgia’s Petrifying Spring.
Thei’e is a spring in Bi’ooks county,
Ga., which in a very short time converts
wood and several other substances into
hard rock. The peculiar qualities of this
Georgia fountain have been known since
early in the century, when an old “ba’r
hunter” accidentally lost his knife in the
basin which has been hollowed out of
the granite strata by the ceaseless bub
bling of the water. A month later the
old trapper again repaired to the spring
and was agreeably surprised to find his
favorite knife. The water had had no
effect upon the bright steel, not even to
the extent of living a speck of rust, but
with the wood of the knife’s handle it
was far diffei’ent. The petrifying parti
cles with which the water is so highly
impregnated had entered every pore and
sap tube in the wood, and whut was but
a few weeks before a hickory handle of
“home make” was now two thin slabs of
solid stone, woodlike in appearance, but
as hard and unyielding as a chip from a
granite bowlder. To this day the place
is known as “old Moore’s petrifying
spring.”—St. Louis Republic.
A POOR MEMORY FOR DATES.
Mr. Stnybolt’H Earnest ICmlnuvor to Re
member Mr.. Stuybolt’s Birthday.
"My friend Mr. Stay bolt, "said Mr.
Gratobar, ‘‘has such a poor memory
for dates that lie cannot tell offhand
wlmt year ho was born in. Neither
can he tell without a little thought
how old he is. But the year of his
enlistment in tho army and his age
at that time seem to bo indelibly im
pressed upon his mind, and reckon
ing from that year he arrives easily
ut tho date of bis birth and at his
present age.
"He doesn’t remember his chil
dren’s birthday. They would come
mul go without his knowledge if lie
were not reminded of them by his
wife. Prompted by her, he takes
his son George, for instance, by tho
hand upon the proper date and
gravely wishes that 7-year-old young
ster a happy birthday and many re
turns of the day, and the innocent
child doesn’t suspect that his father
never would have thought of it at
all if his mother hadn’t kept nag
ging at him.
"So about the date of his wife’s
bii’thday. It did seem to Mr. Stay-
bolt as though he ought to he able to
remember that, but lie couldn’t. Ho
tried for years, but he failed every
time. Ou the next day his wife
would say:
“ ‘Did you—er—forget something?’
"When Mr. Stay bolt heard that
year before last, he made up his
mind that he wouldn’t forget itagain,
and he tied a string around his fin
ger forthwith, and when he got to his
office he made a memorandum. His
wife’s birthday is Oct. 29. He got
down his book for notes payable or
something of that sort that has dates
away ahead in it, and he put down
under the date of Oct. 29—
“ ‘Cynthia’s birthday.’
“Then he laughed to himself and
went on with his work.
"Months rolled by, and Mr. Stay-
holt forgot things, as usual, hut he
couldn’t forget the date of Cynthia’s
bii’thday, for he had that down in
the hook. As the time drew near
he laughed again as he saw staring
at him from the top of the page for
Oct. 29—
“ ‘Cynthia’s birthday.’
“And when he read it there on
the morning of the day he made up
his mind that when he went out to
lunch he would buy a nice birthday
present for his wife. That night he
ate dinner comfortably, as usual, m
his pleasant home, and in the morn
ing, as he was about to start for the
office, his wife said:
“ ‘Did you—er—forget something?’
“He had; he had. He had forgot
ten not only the day, but the pres
ent. Then he tied another string
around his finger and made another
memorandum in his book, and this
time he engaged a steady young
clerk in the office to keep track of
the date, too, and to see that on next
Oct. 29 Mr. Staybolt takes a pack
age home with him, and it is under
stood that the clerk is not to leave
him until he has actually seen him
deliver the package into Mrs. Stay-
bolt’s hands.”—New York Sun.

To Improve Plaster Casts.
A plaster cast or bas-relief, however
beautiful in form, is inartistic on ac
count of the disagreeable effect of the
dead white plaster. This unsightlinesB
can be entirely overcome and the statu
ette or group in relief made to look like
a piece of old ivory by rubbing the sur
face with melted wax mixed with an in
finitesimal quantity of raw sienna or
umber. If well rubbed after it has been
waxed, it will take on a soft polish, and
the crude plaster will be transformed
into a material that is quite delightful
in texture and color. Casts of Barye’s
lions when treated in this way are really
superb, and a bit of antique frieze may
be made to look like marble mellowed
by age.—New York Tribune.
