Every Member es the Heaseheld Should Strive to Make It Ha»,. Start In the Rl*ht Way—Keep God Alwaya at the Fireside. (Copyright. 1898, by American Press Asso ciation.] Washington, Ont S3.—Dr. Talmage in this discourse sots forth radical theories, which, if adopted, would brighten many domestic circles; text, John xx, 10, “The dieciplea went away again unto their own ‘ homes." A church within a church, a republic within a republic, a world within a world, is spelled by four lettera—home I If things go right there, they go right everywhere; if things go wrong there, they go wrong everywhere. The doorsill of the dwelling house is the foundation of church and state. A man never gets higher than his own garret or lower than bls own cellar. Domestic life overarches and undergirdles all other life. The highest house of con gress is the domestic circle; the rocking chair in the nursery is higher than a throne. George Washington commanded the forces of the United States, but Mary Washington commanded George. Chrysos tom’s mother made his pen for him. If a man should start out and run 70 years In a straight line, ho could not get out from under the shadow of his own mantelpiece. I therefore talk to you about a matter of infinite and eternal moment when I speak of your home. As individuals we are fragments. God makes the race in parts, and then he grad ually puts us together. What I lack, you make up; what you lack, I make up; our deficits and surpluses of character being the cogwheels In the great social mechan ism. One person has the patience, another has the courage, another has the placidity, another has the enthusiasm. That which Is lacking in one is made up by another or made up by all. Buffaloes in herds, grouse in broods, quails In flocks, the human race in circles. God has most beautifully arranged thia It Is in this way that he balances society; this conserva tive and that radical keeping things even. Every ship must have, its mast, cutwater, taffrail, ballast Thank God, then, for Princeton and Andover, for the opposites. I have no more right to blame a man for being different from me than a driv ing wheel-has a right to blame the iron shaft that holds it to the center. John Wesley balances Calvin’s “Institutes." A cold thinker gives to Scotland the strong bones of theology. Dr. Guthrie clothes them with a throbbing heart and warm flesh. The difficulty Is that we are not satisfied with just the work that God has given us to do. The water wheel wants to come inside the mill and grind the grist, and the hopper wants to go out and dabble in tho water. Our usefulness and the welfare of society depend upon our staying in just the place that God has put us, or intended we should occupy. Marriage Garlands. For more compactness and that we may be more useful we are gathered in still smaller circles In the home group. And there you have the same variety again— brothers, sisters, husband and wife, all different in temperametate and tastes. It is fortunate that it should be so. If the husband be all ijppulse, the wife must be all prudence. If one sister be sanguine in her temperament, the other must be lym phatic. Mary and Martha are necessities. There will be no dinner for Christ if there be no Martha, there will be no audience for Jesus if there be no Mary. The home organization is most beautifully construct ed. Eden has gone, the bowers are all broken' down, the animals that Adam stroked with his hand that morning when they came up to get their names have since shot forth tusk and sting and growl ed panther at panther, and midair iron beaks plunge till with clotted wing and eyeless sockets the twain come whirling down from under the sun in blood and fire. Eden has gone, but there is just one little fragment left. It floated down on the river Hiddekel out of paradise. It 18 the marriage institution. It does not, as at the beginning, take away from man a rib. Now it is an addition of ribs. This institution of marriage has been defam d in our day. Socialism and polyg amy and the most damnable of all things, free lovism, have been trying to turn this earth into a Turkish harem. While the pulpits have been comparatively silent, novels, their cheapness only equaled by their nastiness, are trying to educate, have taken upon themselves to educate, this nation in regard to holy marriage, which makes or breaks for time and eternity. Oh, this is not a mere question of resi dence or wardrobe! It is a question charged with gigantic joy or sorrow, with heaven or hell. Alas for this new dispen sation of George Sands! Alas for this mingling of the nightshade with the mar riage garlands! Alas for the venom of adders spit into the tankards! Alas for the white frosts of eternal death that kill the orange blossoms I The gospel of Jesus Christ is to assert what Is right and to as sail what is wrong. Attempt has been made to take the marriage institution, which was Intended for the happiness and elevation of the race and make it a mere commercial enterprise, an exchange of houses and lands and equipage, a businees partnership of two stuffed up with the stories of romance and knight errantry and unfaithfulness and feminine angel hood. The two after awhile have roused up to find that instead of the paradise they dreamed of they have got nothing but a Van Ambuigh’s menagerie, filled with tigers and wild cats. Eighty thou sand divorces in Paris in one year preced ed the worst revolution that France ever saw I And I tell you what you know as well as I do, that wrong notions on the subject of Christian marriage are the cause at this day of more moral outrage before God and man than any other cause. God In the Home. There are some things that I want to bring before you. I know there are those of you who have had homes set up for a great many yean, and then there are those here whOhave'just established their home. They have only been in that home a few months or a few yean. Then there are those who will after awhile set up for themselves a home, and it Is right that I should speak out upon these themes. My first counsel to you is, have God in your new home, if it be a new home, and let him who was a guest at Bethany be In your household, let the divine blessing drop upon your every hope and plan and expectation. Those young people who be gin with God end with heaven. Have dh your right hand the engagement ring of the divine affection. If one of you be a Christian, let that one take the Bible and read a few verses in the evening time, and then kneel down and commend yourselves to him whosetteth the solitary in families. I want to tell you that the destroying an- Have watched such cases and haveooma tQ a conclusion. In the first instance nothing whined to go pleamnWy, and aft er awhile there came a devastation, do mestic disaster, or estrangement. Whys They started wrong. In the otter case, although there were hardships and trials and some things that had to be explain ed, still things went on pleasantly until the very last. Whys They started right. My second advice to you in your home Is to exercise to the very last possibility at your nature the law of forbearance. Pray ers In the household will not make up for everything. Some of the best people in the world are the hardest to get along with. There are people who stand up in prayer meetings and pray like angels who at home are uncompromising and cranky. You may not have everything just as you want ft. Sometimes it will be the duty of the husband and sometimes of the wife to yield, but both stand punctiliously on your rights, and you will have a Waterloo with no Blucher oomlng up at nightfall to decide the conflict. Acknowledge Wrong. Never be attained to apologize when you have done wrong in domestic affairs. Let t hat be a law of your household. The best thing I ever heard of my grandfather, whom I never saw, was this: That onoe, having unrighteously rebuked one of his children, he himself having lost his pa tience and perhaps having been misin formed of the child’s doings, found out his mistake, and in the evening of the same day gathered all his family together and said: “Now, I have one explanation to make and one thing to say. Thomas, this morning I rebuked you very unfairly. lam very sorry for it. I rebuked you in the presence of the whole family, and now I ask your forgiveness in their presence. ** It must have taken some courage to do that. It was right, was ft not? Never be ashamed to apologize for domestic inaccu racy. Find out the points, what are the weak pointe, if I may call them so, of your oompanion and then stand aloof from them. Do not carry the fire of your tem per too near the gunpowder. If the wife be easily fretted by disorder in the house -hold, lot the husband be careful where he throws his slippers. If the husband come home from the store with his patience ex hausted, do not let the wife unnecessarily cross his temper, but both stand up for your rights, and I will promise the ever lasting sound of the warwhoop. Your life will be spent in making up, and marriage will be to you an unmitigated curse. Cow per said: The kindest and the happiest pair Will find occasion to forbear And something, every day they live, To pity and perhaps forgive. I advise also that you make your chief pleasure circle around about that home. It is unfortunate when it is otherwise. If the husband spend the most of his nights away from home, of choice and not of necessity, he is not the head of the house hold; he is only the cashier. If the wife throw the cares of the household into the servant’s lap and then spend five nights of the week at the opera or theater, she may clothe her children with satins and laces and ribbons that would confound a French milliner, but they are orphans. It is sad when a child has no one to say its prayers to because mother has gone off to the evening entertainment! In India they bring children and throw them to the crocodiles, and it seems very cruel, but the jaws of social dissipation are swallow ing down more little children today than all the monsters that ever crawled upon the banks of the Ganges! GoAleas Firesides. I have seen the sorrow of a godless mother on the death of a child she had neglected. It was not so much grief that she felt from the fact that the child was dead as the fact that she had neglected it. She said, "If I had only watched over and cared for the child, I know God would not have taken it." The tears came not It was a dry, blistering tempest—a scorch ing simoon of the desert. When she wrung her hands, it seemed as if she would twist her fingers from their sockets; when she seized her hair, it seemed as if she had in wild terror grasped a coiling serpent with her right hand. No tears! Comrades of the little one came in and wept over the coffin, neighbors came in, and the mo ment they saw the still face of the child the shower broke. No tears for her. God gives tears as the summer rain to the parched soul, but in all the universe the driest and hottest, the most scorching and consuming thing is a mother’s heart if she has neglected' her child, when onoe it is dead. God may forgive her, but she will never forgive herself. The memory will sink the eyes deeper into the sockets and pinch the faoe.and whiten the hair and eat up the heart with vultures that will not be satisfied, forever plunging deeper their iron beaks. Oh, you wanderers from your home, go back to your duty I The brightest flowers in all the earth are those which grow in the garden of a Christian household, clambering over the porch of a Christian home. I advise you also to cultivate sympathy of occupation. Sir James Mclntosh, one of the most eminent and elegant men that ever lived, while standing at the very height of his eminence, said to a great company of scholars, "My wife made me.*’ The wife ought to be the advising partner in every firm. She ought to be interested in all - the losses and gains of shop and store. She ought to have a right—she has a right—to know everything. If a man goes into a business transaction that be dare not toll his wife of, you may depend that be is on the way either to bankruptcy or moral ruin. There may be some things which he does not wish to trouble his wife with, but if he dare not tell her ho is on the road to discomfiture. On the other hand, the husband ought to be sympa thetic with the wife’s occupation. It is no easy thing to keep house. Many a wo man who could have endured martyrdom as well as Margaret, the Scotch girl, has actually been worn out by house manage ment. Kitelie* Martyrs. There are 1,000 martyrs of the kitehen. It is very annoying after the vexations of the day around the stove or the register or the table, or in the nursery or parlor to have the husband aay: "You know noth ing about trouble. You ought to be in the store half an hour.” Sympathy of occupation! If the husband’s work oarer him with the soot of the furnace, or the odors of leather, or soap factories, let not the wife be easily disgusted at the be grimed hands or unsavory aroma. Your gains are one, your interests are one, your losses are one. Lay hold of the work of life with both hands. Four hands to fight the battles; four eyes to watch for the danger, four shoulders on which to carry the trials. It is a very sad thing when the painter has a wife who does not like pic tures. It is a very sad thing for a pianist when she baa a husband who does not Uke is called a ‘‘gratae! bwdnvss.” So tar at I understand a “gratae! business,” ft to something to which a man goes at t« o'clock in the morntag and from which to «mbm home at tort o’clock fotteaft mora and gets a huge amouat Gt money for doing nothing. That is, I believe, a “genteel business,” and there has been many a wife who has made the mistake of not being satisfied nntil tho husband has gi up the tanning of the hides, or tho turning of the banisters, or the building of the walls and put himself in circles where he has nothing to do but smoke cigars and drink wine and got himself in to habits that upset hlfn, going down la the maelstrom, taking Ms wife and chil dren with him. There are a good many trains running from earth to destruction. They start all hours of the day and all hours of the night. Theta are the freight trains; they go very slowly and very heav ily, and there arc the accommodation trains going on toward destruction, and they stop very often and let a man get out when he Wants to But gontool IdlcnoM is an express train. Satan to the stoker, and death to the engineer, and, though one may come out in front of it and gplng the red flag of ‘‘danger” or the lantern of God’s word, it makes just one shot into perdition, coming down the embankment with a shout and a wail and a shriek crash! crash! There are two classes of people sure of destruction—first, those who have nothing to do; secondly, those who have something to do, but who are too lazy or too proud to do it. How to Have * Happy Homo. I have one more word of advice to give to those who would have a happy home, and that is, let love preside in it. When your behavior in the domestic circle be comes a mere matter of calculation, when the caress you give to merely the result of deliberate study of the position you oc cupy, happiness lies stark dead on the hearthstone. When the husband’s posi tion as head of the household to maintain ed by loudness of voice, by strength of arm, by fire of temper, the republic of do mestic bliss has become a despotism that neither God nor man will abide. Oh, ye who' promised to love each other at the altar, how dare you commit perjury? Let no shadow of suspicion come on your af fection. It to easier to kill that flower than it is to make it live again. The blast from hell that puts out that light leaves you in the blackness of darkness forever. Here are a man and wife. They agree in nothing etoe, but they agree they will have a home. They will have a splendid house, and they think that if they have a house they will have a home. Architects make the plan, and the mechanics execute ft, the house to cost 1100,000. It is done. The carpets are spread, lights are hoisted, curtains are hung, cards of invitation rent out. The horses in gold plated harness prance at the gate, guests come in and take their places, the flute sounds, the dancers go up and down, and with one grand whirl the wealth and the fashion and the mirth of the great town wheel amid the pictured walls. Ha, this is happiness. Float it on the smoking viands, sound it in the music, whirl it in the dance, oast it in the snow of sculpture, sound it up the brilliant stairway, flash it in chandeliers. Happiness Indeed! Something Lacking. Let us build on the center of the parlor floor a throne to happiness; let all the guests, when come ta, bring their flowers and pearls and diamonds, and throw them on this pyramid, and let ft be a throne, and then let happiness, the queen, mount the throne, and we will stand around, and, all chalices lifted, we will say, “Drink, O queen; live forever!” But the Seats depart, the flutes are breathless, the t clash of the impatient hoofs ta heard In the distance, and the twain of the house hold come back to see the queen of happi ness on the throne amid the parlor floor. But, alas, as they oome back, the flowers have faded, the sweet odors have become the smell of a charnel house, and instead of tho qneen of happiness there sits there the gaunt form of anguish, with bitten Up and sunken eye and ashes in her hair. The romp of the dancers who have left seems rumbling yet, like jarring thunders that quake the floor and rattle the glasses of tho feast rim to rim. The spilled wine on the floor turns into blood. The wreaths of plush have become wriggling reptiles. Terrors catch tangled in the canopy that overhangs the couch. A strong gust of wind comes through the hall and tho drawing room and the bedchamber, in which all the lights go out. And from the Ifps of the wine beakers come the words, “Happiness is not in us!” And the arches respond, "It ta not in us!” And the si lenced Instruments of music, thrummed on by invisible fingers, answer, “Happi ness is not in us!” And the frozen Ups of anguish break open, and, seated on the throne of wilted flowers, she strikes her bony hands together and groans, “It ta not in me!” That very night a clerk with a salary of 11,000 a year—only |l,ooo—goes to his home, set up three months ago, just after the marriage day. Love meets him at the door, love site with him at the table, love talks over the work of tho day, love takes down the Bible and reads of him who came our souls to save, and they kneel, and while they are kneeling, right in that plain room on the plain carpet, the angels of God build a throne not out of flowers that perish and fade away, but out of gar lands of heaven, wreath on top of wreath,, amaranth on amaranth, until the throne is done. Then the harps of God sounded, and suddenly there appeared one who mounted the throne with eye so bright and brow so fair that the twain knew it was Christian love. And they knelt at the foot of the throne, and, putting one hand on each head, she blessed them and said, "Happiness is with me!” And that throne of celestial bloom withered not with the passing years, and the queen left not the throne till one day the married pair felt stricken in years—felt themselves called away and knew not which way to go, and the queen bounded from the throne and sMd, “Fellow ms, and I will show you the way up to the realm of ever lasting love.” And so they went upto sing songs at love and walk on pavements -of wve, and to Uve together in manstone of love, and to rejoice forever in the truth that God to love.
