TfAsHiNorov, D. O .—In this disoourse
Ur. Talmage gives prescriptions for the
prolongation physical ot liie aud preaches the gos¬
pel of health. The text is Psalms
xei., 10, “With long life wtlitsatisfy him.”
Through the mlstake ot its friends relig¬
ion has been chieily associated with sick
beds and graveyards. The whole subject
to many people is odorous with chlorine
and carbolic acid. There are people who
cannot pronounce the word religion with¬
tombstone out hearing in U the It clipping high chisel of that the
outter. ts time
this thing were changed and that religion,
instead of being represented as a hearse to
carry out the dead, should ke represented
ns a chariot in which the living are to
triumph.
Religion, vitality, so fnr from subtracting from
one’s is a glorious addition. It is
sanative, curative, hygienic. It is good for
the eyes, good for the ears, good for tho
spleen, good for for the the digestion, muscles. good WhenDavld for the
nerves, good
in another part of tlie psalm prays that re¬
ligion may be dominant, he does not speak
of it as a mild sickness or an emunciation
or an attack of moral and spiritual cramp.
Ho speaks of it as “the saving health ot all
nations,” while God in the text promises
longevity to the pious, saying, ‘'With long
life will I satisty him.” The fact is that
men and women die too soon. It is high
time that religion joined the hand of medi¬
cal science in attempting to improve human
longevity. jived A dam lived 930 years. Methuse¬ history
lah 969 years. As late in the
of the world as Vespasian there were at
one time in his empire forty-live people 135
years old. So far down ns the sixteenth
oentury Peter Zartan died at 185 years of
age. I do not say that religion will over
take the race back to antediluvian longe¬
vity, but I do any the length of life will be
increased.
It is said in Isaiah, “Tho child shall die
■a hundred years old.” Now, if, according
to Scripture, the child is to be a hundred
years old, may not the men and women
reach to 300 and 400 and 500? The fact is
that we are mere dwarfs and skeletons
compared with some ot the generations
that are to come. Take the African race.
They " have been under bondage for centur¬
ies. Give them a chance, and they de¬
velop a Frederick Douglass cr a Toussaint
L’Ouverture. And, if the white race shall
be brought from under the serfdom of sin,
what shall be the body, what shall be the
soul? Religion has only just touched our
world. Give it full power for a fe,v con-
turies, and who can tell what will be the
strength of man and the beauty of woman
and the longevity of all?
My design to show that
is tbe friend of long life. I prove it, first,
health from the fact that it makes the care of our
a positive Christian duty. Whether
we shall keep early or late hours, whether
we shall take food digestible or indigesti¬
ble, whether there shall be thorough or in¬
complete mastication, realm are questions whimsicality. very
often deferred to the of
But the Christian man lifts this whole
ptoblem of health into the accountable and
the divine. He says, “God has given me
this body, and He lias called it the temple
of the Holy Ghost, and to deface its altars,
or mar its walls, or crumble its pillars, is a
God defying sacrilege.” He anatomical sees God’s

our hours beating 100,000 times, during
’the twenty-four hours the lungs taking in
fifty-seven hogshead of air, and all this
mechanism not more mighty than delicate
and easily disturbed and demolished. The
■Christian man says to himself, “If I hurt
my nerves, if I hurt my brain, if I hurt
any of my physical faculties, I insult God
and call for dire retribution.” Why did
God tell the Levites not to offer to Him in
sacrifice animals imperfect and diseased?
He meant to tell us in all the ages that we
are to offer to God our vary best physical
condition, and a man who through irregu¬
lar or gluttonous eating ruins his health is
not offering to God such a sacrifice. Why
idid Paul write for his cloak at Troa3? Why
should such a great man as Paul he anx¬

people we have known who have not lived

religion is a protest against all dissipa¬
tions oK any kind.

tho matter with him. tho aged
Christian man, walked along by that un¬

pillar of a Christian life. You went to the
right; he went to the left. That is ail the
difference between you. If this religion is
a protest against all forms of dissipation,
then it is an illustrious friend of longevity.
“With long life will I satisfy him.”
Again, religion is a friend of longevity
in the fact that it takas the worry out of
our temporalities. When It is not work becomes that kills
men; it is worry. a man a
genuine Christian, he makes over to God
not only his affections, but his family, his
business, his reputation, bis body, his mind,
his soul, everything. Industrious he will
be, but never affairs. worrying, How because God is
managing his can he worry
about business when in answer to his pray¬

manufacturer, your machinery is a con¬

wheels go one way?” “Well,” he says, “I
made them to go m opposite directions on
purpose,- and they produce tho right re-
suit. You go down stairs and examine
the carpets wo are turning out in this
establishment and you will see.” I go
down on the- other floor, and I see the
carpets, and I am obliged to confess that,
though the wheels in that factory go tu
opposite directions, they turnout abeauti-
ful result, and while I am standing there old
looking at the exquisite fabric an
Scripture passage comes into my mind,
“All things work together for good to

other says he is dishonest, and half a dozen
printing establishments attaolc him, and he
is iu a great state of excitement and worry
and turns and cannot sleep, but religion
comes to him and says: “Man, God Is on
vour side. He will take care of your repu-
tation. If God be for you, who can be
against you?” IIow much should that man
worry about his reputation? Not much.
If that broker who some years ago in Wall
street, after he had lost money, sat down
and wrote a farewell letter to his wife be-
fore he blew his brains out—if, instead of
taking out of his pocket a pistol, he had
taken out a well read New Testament,
there would have been one less suicide.
O nervous and feverish people You of the
world, try this almighty sedative! will
live twenty-five yedrs longer chloral under that Its
soothing power. It Is not you
want or morphine that you want. It is the
gospel of Jesus Christ. “With long life
will I satisfy him.”
Again, praotical religion is a friend of
longevity in the fact that it removes all cor¬
roding care about a future existence.
Every man wants to know what is to be.
Before I had this matter settled with refer¬
ence to my future existence the question
almost worried me into ruined health. The
anxieties men have upon this subject put
together would make a martyrdom. This
is a state of awful unhealthiness. There
are people who fret themselves to death
for fear ot dying. I want to take the
strain off your nerves and the de¬
pression off your soul, and I make
two or three experiments. Experi¬ this
ment first: When you go out of
world, it does not make any difference
whether you have been good or bad,
whether you believed truth or error, you
will go straight to glory. “Impossible,” well
you say. “My common sense the bad as and the as
my religion teaches that
good cannot live together forever. You
give me no comfort in that experiment.”
Experiment the second: When you leave
this world, you will gointo an intermediate
state, where you can get converted and
prepared for heaven. “Impossible,” you
say. “As the tree falleth, so must it
lie, and I cannot postpone to an inter¬
mediate state reformation which ought
to have been effected in this state.” Experi¬
ment the third: There is no future world.
When a man dies, that is the last of him.
Do not worry about what you are to do in
another state of being. You will not do
anything. “Impossible,” you say. “There
is something that tells me that death Is not
the appendix, but the preface to life.
There is something that tells me that on
this side of the grave I only get started
and that I shall go on forever. My power
to think suys ’forever;’ ray affections say
‘forever;’ iny capacity to enjoy or suffer,
’forever.’ ”

SALEM SKIPPER’S MISSIONARY BEN,
/treaebt Bar frwo Kae-Koo, China, and She
Laid Ef|« ter the Reathcn.
Some tan years age Captain J. Clif¬
ford lintwlsle, now City Clerk of
Baiem, then master of a New York
teasel sailing to China and Japan,
brought home from China a little hen.
He named tho bird Koo-Koo, for the
town whence she cams. Ho presented
tho hen to Ms wife, and the bird
gradually became a pet of the house,
fihe woald lay her ogg* to the house.
Captain and Mrs. Entwisle were in¬
terested in church and missionary
work. So Mrs. Entwisle conceived
the Idea of devoting the proceeds of
the eggs and chickens of Koo-Koo to
the missionary causa, and for the sev¬
en years little Koo-Koo lived all her
tamings went to convert Chinese
heathens, and a g-ood many dollars
went that way. The hen became as
much of a pet as a cat or dog. She
would lay her egg and then go out in¬
to the kitchen and cluck until some oae
made a sesreh and found the
egg; then the would fly up on the win¬
dow sill and peek at the window as a
»lgn that she wished to go out doors.
Finally little Koo-Koo died, and was
stuffed and used as an ornament. Mrs.
Entwisle wrote a very pretty little
story, founded on this history ef Koo-
Koo, and sent it out to be read to the
children in the far-away land whence
came the hen. Thors it took bo well
that It was translated lata Chinese and
read to tbs little Chinese children i»
their own language. It woe the story
of a little hen called Koo-Koo, which
undertook to support one llttlo Chinese
girl that she might be educated. It
contained an. account of a meeting of
the children of Koo-Koo, quite a num¬
erous tribe of various age*.
After hearing that story read, a
Chinese boy painted a picture of the
meeting of Koo-Koo and her descend¬
ants to represent a scene described by
Mrs. Entwisle. It represents the old
hen and three younger ones, with eight
or ten very small chicks. The picture
Is made on a sheet of brown paper,
and the hens are almost lifo size for
Chinese hens. It was sent to the mis-
sionary headquarters In Boston first,
and yesterday was sent down tt> Mrs.
Entwisle, by whom it is highly prized.
