Subject: Choice of Beliefs—Religious Tol

Churches Are Good and Are Seeking
the Same Praiseworthy End.
[Copyright. Louis Klopsch. 189P.J ,
WAsnfxGTox, D. C.— In this sermon Dr.
Lalmage discusses n topic which will in
terest domestic circles everywhere. The
text is Genesis xiii., 8; “Let there be no
strife, I pray thee, between mo and thee
and between my berdmen and thy herdmen.
Is not tho whole land before thee?”
Uncle and nephew, Abram and Lot, both
pious, both millionaires, and with such
large flocks of bleating sheep and lowing
cattle that their herdmen got into a light,
perhaps about the best pasture or about
the best water privilege or because the cow
of one got hooked by the horns of the
others. Not their poverty of opportunity,
but their wealth, was the cause of con
troversy between these two men. To
Abram, the glorious old Mesopotamian
sheik, such controversy seemed absurd. It
was like two ships quarreling for sea room
in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. There
was a vast reach of country, cornfields,
vineyards, harvests and plenty of room in
illimitable acreage. “Now,” says Abram,
“let us agree to differ. Here are the moun
tain districts, swept by the tonic sea breeze
and with wide reaching prospect, and there
is the plain of the JordaD, with tropical
luxuriance, i'ou may have either.” Lot.
who was not as rich as Abram, and might
have been expected to take the second
choice, made the first selection and with a
modesty that must have made Abram smile
said to him:
“You may have the rocks and the fine
prospect; 1 will take the valley of the 1
Jordan, with all its luxuriance of corn
fields and the river to water the flocks and
the genial climate and the wealth im
measurable.” So the controversy was
forever settled and great-souled Abram
carried out the suggestion of the text:
“Let there be no strife, I pray thee, be
tween me and thee, and between my herd
men and thy herdmen. Is not tho whole
land before thee?”
Well, in this the last decade of the nine
teenth century and in this beautiful land,
which was called America, after Americus
Vespucius, 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 forms of
worship and all styles of architecture—
what opulence of ecclesiastical oppor
tunity! 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 liturgical or
nonliturgical adherents, oras to baptismal
modes, or a lmndful of water as compared
with a riverful. If Abram prefers to .dwell
on the heights, where he can get only a
sprinkling from the clouds, let him consent
that Lot have all the Jordan in which to
immerse himself. “Let there be no strife,
I pray thee, between me and thee and be
tween my herdsmen and thy herdsmen. Is
not the whole land before thee?”
Especially is it unfortunate when fami
lies allow angry discussion at the break
fast or dining or tea table as to which is
the best church or denomiuation, one at
one end of the table saying he could never
endure the rigid doctrines of Presbyteri
anism, one at the other end responding
that she never could stand fhe forms of
Episcopacy, and one at one side of the
table saying he did not understand bow
anybody eould bear the noiseiu the Metho
dist church, and another declaring all the
Baptists bigots. There are hundreds of
families hopelessly split on occlesiastieism,
and in the middle of every discussion on
such subjects there is a kindling of indig
nation, and it needs some old father Abram
to come and put his foot on tho loaded fuse
before the explosion takes place and say:
“Let there be no strife, I pray thee, be
tween me and thee and between my herd
men and thy herdmen. Is not the whole
land before thee?”
I undertake a subject never undertaken
by any other pulpit, for it Is an exceed
ingly delicate subject, and if not rightly
handled might giveserious offense, but I
approach it without the slightest trepida
tion, for I am sure I have tiie divine direc
tion in the matters I propose to present.
It is a tremendous question, asked all over
Christendom, often asked with tears and
sobs and heart breaks and involving the
peace of families, the eternal happiness of
many souls. In matters of church attend
ance should the wife go with the husband
or the husband go with the wife?
First, remember that all the evangelical
ohurches have enough truth in them to
save the soul and prepare us for happiners
on earth and in heaven. I will go with you
into any well selected theological library,
and I will show you sermons from minis
ters in all denominations that sot forth man
as a sinner and Christ as a delivereu from
sin and sorrow. That is tho whole Gospel.
Get that into your soul and you are fitted
for the here aud the hereafter. There are
differences, we admit, and some denomi
nations we like better than others. But
suppose three or four of us make solemn
agreement to meet each other a week from
now in Chicago on important business, and
one gjbes by the New York Central Rail
road, another by the Erie Railroad, another
by the Pennsylvania Railroad, another by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Ono
goes this way because the mountains are
grander; another takes this because the
oars are more luxurious; another that be
cause the speed is greater; another takes
the other because he has long been accus
tomed to that route, and all the employes
are familiar, go far as our engagement to
meet Is concerned it makes no difference if
we only get there. Now, any ono of tho
Innumerable evangelical denominations; it
you practice Us touching—although some
of their trains run on a broad gauge and
some on a narrow gunge—will bring you
out at the city of the New Jerusalem.
It being evident that you will be safe in
any of the evangelical denominations, I
proceed to remark, first, if one of the mar
ried couple be a Christian and the other
not, the one a Christian is bound to go any
where to a church where the unconverted
companion is willing to go, If he or she
will go to no other. Y'ou of the cocr.xbial
jftrtmership are a Christian. You are safe
tae skies. Then it is your ilist duty to

No letter of more importance ever came
to the great city of Corinth, situated on
what was called the “Bridge of the Sea,”
and glistening with sculpture and gated
with a style of brass the magnificence of
which the following ages have not been
able to successfully imitate and over
shadowed by the Acro-Corinthus, a fortress
of rock 2000 feet high—l say no letter ever
came to that great city of more importance
than that letter in which Paul puts the two
startling questions: “What knowest thou,
O wife, whether thou shalt save thy hus
band? Or how knowest thou, O man,
whether thou shalt save thy wife?” The
dearest sacrifice on the part of the one is
cheap if it rescue tke other. Better go to
the smallest, weakest, most insiguifleaat
church on earth and be copartners in
eternal bliss than pass your earthly mem
bership in most gorgeously attractive
church while your companion stays out
side of evangelical privilege. Better
have the drowning saved by a scow or a
sloop than let him or her go down while
you sail by in the gilded cabins of a Ma
jestlo or Campania.
Second remark: If both of the married
couples be Christians, but one Is so natur
ally constructed that It is impossible to
enjoy the services of a particular denom
ination, and the other is not so sectarian
or punctilious, let the one less particular
go with the other who is very particular.
As for mysolf, I feel as much at home in
one denomination of evangelical Christians
as another, and I think I must have been
born ve,ry near the line. I like the solemn
roll of the Episcopal liturgy, and I like the
spontaneity of the Methodists and I like
the importance given to the ordinance of
baptism by the Baptists and I like the free
dom of the Congregationalists and I like
the government and the sublime doctrine
of the Presbyterians and I like many of the
others just as much as any I have men
tioned and I could happily live and preach
and die and be buried from any of them.
But others are born with a liking so stout,
so unbending, so inexorable for some de
nomination tnat it is a positive necessity
they have the advantage of that one. What
they were intended to be In eeclesiasticism
was written in the sides of their cradle, if
the father and mother had eyes keen
enough to see it. They would not stop
crying until they had put in their hands as
a plaything a Westminster Catechism or
the Thirty-nine Articles. The whole cur
rent of their temperament and thought
and character runs into one sect of relig
ionists as naturally as the James River into
the Chesapeake. It would be a torture to
such persons to be anywhere outside of
that one church.
Now, let the wife or husUand who is not
so constructed sacrifice the milder prefer
ence for the one more inflexible and rigor
ous. Let the grapevine follow the. rugos
ities and sinuosities of the oak or hickory.
Abram, the richer in flocks of Christian
grace, should say to Lot, who is built on a
smaller scale: “Let there be no strife, I
pray thee, between me and thee and be
tween my herdmen and thy herdmen. Is
not the whole land before thee?” As you
can be edified and happy anywhere, go
with your companion to the church to
which he or she must go or be miserable.
Bernard the'third: If both the married
couple are very strong in their sectarian
ism, let them attend the different churches
preferred. It is not necessary that you
attend the same church. Beligiou is be
tween your conscience and your God.
Like Abram and Lot, agree to dif
fer. When on Sabbath morning you
come out of your home together and one
goes one way and the other the
other, heartily wish each other a good
sermon and a time of profitable dovotiou,
and when you meet again at the noonday
repast let it be evident, each to each, and
to your children, and to the hired help,
that you have both been on the Mount of
Transfiguration, although you wont up by
different paths, ana that you have both
been fed by the bread of life, the .gh
kneaded by different hands in different
trays and baked in different ovens. “But
how about the children?” I am often
asked by scores of parents. Let them also
make their own choice. They will grow
up with reverence for both the denomina
tions represented by father and mother if
you, by holy lives, commend those de
nominations. If tho father lives the bet
ter life, they will have the,more favorable
opinion of bis denomination. If the
mother lives the batter life, they will have
the more favorable opinion of her denom
ination. And some day both the patents
will, for at least one service, go to the
same church. The neighbors will say, “I
wonder what is going on to-day, for I saw
our neighbor and his wife, who always go
to different churches, goinj* arm In arm to
the same sanctuary.”
Well, I will tell you what has brought
them together, arm in Itrm, to the same
altar. Something very important has hap
pened. Their son is to-day uniting with
the church. He is standing in the aisle,
taking the vows of a Christian. He had
been somewhat wayward, and gave father
and mother a good deal of anxiety, but
their prayers have been answered in his
conversion, and as he stands in the aisle
and the minister of religion says, “Do you
consecrate yourself to the God who made
and redeemed you and do you promise to
serve Him all your days?” and with manly
voice he answers, “I do,” there is an April
shower in the pew where father and
mother sit and a rainbow of joy which
arches both their souls, that makes ail dif
ferences of fereed infinitesimal. And the
dnughter who had been very worldly and
gay and thoughtless, puts her life on the
altar of consecration, and as the sunlight
of that Sabbath streams through the
church window and falls upon her brow
and cheek, she looks like their other daugh
ter, whose face was illumined with the
brightness of another world on the day
when the Lord took her into His heavenly
keeping years ago.
I should not wonder, if, after all, these
parents pass the evening of their life in
the same church, all differences of church
preference overcome by the joy of being
in the house of God where their children
were prepared for usefulness and heaven.
But I can give you a recipe for ruining
your children. Angrily contend In the
household that your ehuroh Is right and
the church of your companion is wrong.
Bring sneer and caricature to emphasize
your opinions, and your children will
make up their minds that religion is a sham,
and they will have none of it. In the
northeast storm of domestic controversy
the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley
will not grow. Fight about apostolic
succession, fight about eleotion aud free
agency, fight about baptism, fight about
the bishopric, fight about gown and sur
plice, and the religious prospects of your
children will be left dead on the field. You
will be as unfortunate as Charles, Duke of
Burgundy, who in battle lost a diamond
the value of a kingdom, for in your fight
you will lose the jewel of salvation for your
entire household. This is nothing against
the advocacy of your own religious theo
ries. Use all forcible argument, bring all
telling illustration, array all demonstrative
facts, but let there be no acerbity, no sting
ing retort, no mean insinuation, no super
ciliousness, ns though all others were
wrong and you infallibly right.

“It’s a monkey,” retorted Buekland,

A Fifth Story. •
Several young persons were rowing
in the creek at Bridgeport, N. J., at
low water, when they noticed as they
neared the mouth heavy ripples, and
soon learned that large schools of
shad were coming up. In fact, it was
with difficulty that the boats plowed
through. The river fishing was also
heavy, the fish being large, some
weighing six, seven and eight pounds,
but the price soon took a drop to $lO

they never saw the like.—Havre de

A Perspective in V.
The class in optics was doing duty
before the professor, and that worthy
man was looking over his contingent
of rising pliysicrians for some one to
put through a course ‘of sprouts, as
professors have a way of doing when
they suspect that every fellow isn’t
keeping up with the proeessien. There
was one chap he knew of who spent
more money than he spent time on his
books and him the professor tackled.
“Um, Mr. Jones," he said, “what is
perspective?”
Mr. Jones hesitated for a moment.
“Well, I should say,” he responded,
“that it is kind of looking through the
other end of a spy-glass.”
The professor recognized that the
answer showed some signs of Intelli
gence and accepted it.
“Um,” he said, “distance diminishes
size, does it?”
Again the young man hesitated.
“I don’t know about that,” he re
plied. “The farther I get away from
a five dollar bill the bigger It seems to
me.”
“Um,” said the professor, and asked
the young man to remain a few min
utes after class.—Detroit Free Press.

The Japanese nnd Tliclr Hair.
The most striking difference be
tween the appearance of the male and
female Japanese lies in the hair. The j
men shave nearly the whole of the
head, while the women allow it to;
grow, and even add to it by art when
required. It is then twisted aud colled
into elaborate and fantastic patterns,
which few Eastern hairdressers could
imitate or equal.
The hairpins used are not so much
for confining the hair as for actual
adornment, nnd are very fashionable.
They are of enormous size, seven or
eight inches in length, aud half an inch
wide, nnd arc made of various sub
stances—tortoiseshell, carved wood and
ivory—many of them being composed
of carved figures adroitly pivoted so as
to appear to dance at every breath
drawn by the wearer.
Others are made of glass nnd are
hollow, and nearly filled with some
bright colored liquid, so that at every
movement of the head an air bubble
runs from one end of the pin to the
other, producing a most curious ef
fect In a strong light.
Sometimes an extra fashionable wo
man will wear a dozen or more of these
pins in her hair, so* that at a little
distance her head looks as If a bundle
of firewood had been closely stuck in

[LETTER TO MRS. EINXBAM HO. 76,244] *
“Olfct year ago last June three doc
tors gave me up to die, and as I had at
different times used your Vegetable
Compound with good results, I had too
much faith in it to die until I had tried •
it again. I was apparently an invalid,
was confined to my bed for ten weeks.
(I .believe my trouble was ulceration of
womb).
“After taking four bottles of• the
Compound and using some of the Liver
Pills and Sanative Wash, at the end of
two months I had greatly improved
and weighed 155 pounUs, when I never
before weighed over 138. Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the
best medicine I ever used, and I recom
mend it to all my friends.” —Mrs. Anna
Eva Gunter, Higoinsville, Mo.
Mrs. ltarnhart Eujoya Life Once More.
“Dear Mrs. Finkham—l had been
sick ever since my marriage, seven
years ago; have given birth to four
children, and had two miscarriages. I
had falling of womb, leueorrhoea, pains
in hack and legs; dyspepsia and a
nervous trembling of the stomach.
Now I have none of these troubles and
can enjoy my life. Your medicine lias
worked wonders for me.”—Mrs. S.
Barn hart, New Castle, Pa.
