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 , Land caiigraphy in every page, “God lias physiological. wonderful He says, body for • given me a with thirtytwo »oble Bpurkrus purposes”—that by arm iorty-six curious bones wielded ■ muscles and all under the brain’s teleg- ■tephy, |ne 350 pounds of blood rushing through heart every hour, the heart in twenty- 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¬ ious about a thing so insignificant as an Lvercoat? It was because he knew he would that vith pneumonia and rheumatism jotAie worth halt as much to God and the Ihurch as with respiration easy and foot In intelligent Christian man would con- ier it an absurdity to kneel down at night a pray and ask God’s protection while the same time he kept the windows of i bedroom tight shut against fresh air. : would just us soon think of York going out the bridge between Now and ooklyn, leaping off and then praying to id to keep him from getting hurt.

The hero of Austorlitz, the man who by one step of his foot in tho center snuff ot Europe shook the earth, killed by a box! How many people we have known who have not lived out half their days because of their disspa- tions and Indulgences! Now, practical religion is a protest against all dissipa¬ tions oK any kind. “But,” you say, “professors of xeligtoa have fallen, professors of religion have got drunk, professors of religion have misap¬ propriated trust funds, professors Yes. but of relig¬ ion have absconded.” tlioy threw away their religion before they did their morality. If a man on a White Star line steamer, bound for Liverpool, in mid- Atlantic jumps overboard and is drowned, is that anything ngainst the White Star line’s capacity to take the man across the ocean? And if a man and jumps over down the gun¬ wale of his religion goes never to rise, Is that any reason for your believ¬ ing that religion has no capacity to take tho man clear through? In the ona his case, body if ha had kept to the steamer, would have been saved; in the other case, if ho had kept to his religion, his morals would have been saved.

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¬ ers God tells him when that to buy and and when t« soil?

Is there not longavlty in that? Suppose a man is all the time worried ri b es, U anothermanl y s°he 9 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.’ ” IP 11 lili Is your breath bad?

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. —Boston Herald. iiewey Celebration, ^iica".
