Citiet-Text: "A Livo OhuroO."
Brooklyn, April 3.—[Special.]—’Tho Rev
T. DeWitt Talmage, 1).D„ has retarued from
the west, after an absence of. nearly throo
weeks, in which ho preached and lectured in
fifteen cities to immonse throngs. A vast con
gregation was present in the tabernaclo this
morning, and joined with Hue oflbet In alnglug
the hymn which begins:
"Jesus shall reign whero'or the sun
Does his successive journeys ruu."
Dr. Tslmage’s subject was: “A Live Church,
and hia text Revelation, ii; 8-9: ‘‘Unto tho
angel of the church in Smyrna write: These
things saith the first and the last, which was
dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and trib
ulatiou, and poverty, but hou art rich."
Smyrnia was a groat city of tho ancients,
bounded on tbreo sides by mountains. It was
the central emporium of the I*evantino trade.
In that prosperous and brilliant city there was
a Christian chnrch established. After it ha 1
existed for awhile it was rocked down by an
earthquake. It was rebuilt. Then it was con-
sumed byaconllagrstion thgtswopt ovor the
entire city. That church went through iiro,
and trouble, and disaster, but kept on to groat
spiritual TprospcrHy. The fact was, that
church had the grace of God, an ever activo
principle. Had it boon otherwise, all tho
grandeur of architecture and all the pomp of
surroundings would only huve boon the orna
ment of death—the garland of a coffin, tho
plumes of a hearse.
It may be profitable to consider what are
tho elements ol a live church.
I remark in the first place, that ono charac
teristic of such a church Is punctuality in
meeting its engagements. All ecclesiastical
institutions havo financial relations, and they
ought to meet their obligations just as cortaln-
Iv m men meet their obligations at the bank.
When a chnrch of God is not as falthfuUn its
& romlsea aa the bank ot England, It ceases to
b a church of God. It ought to bo understood
that prayers cannot paint a chnrch, and
prayers cannot pay tho winter's coal bill, and
prayers cannot meet the insurance; and that,
while prayers can do a thousand things, thoro
aro a thousand things that prayers can
not do. Praver for any particular church will
nover reach heaven high untess It goes down
pecket deep. In my church at tho west there
was a man of comfortable means who used to
S tay for his pastor In such elongated stylo that
o became a nuisance to the prayer mooting;
asking God, in a prayer that was almost with
out ceasing, that tho pastor might be bleesed In
his basket and in his store, while the fort was
he nover paid anythiug. If we pray for tho
advancement of the church, and do not out of
our means contribute for it* advancement, our
[ then meet its obligations ou tho outside,
aud let the membon of tho congregation moot
tho obligations on tho lusido and the church
will bo financially prosperous.
Let mo say, also, that thoro most be punctu*
ailty in tho attendance on tho house of tho
Lord. Ifthosorvico Logins at half-put ten
in tho morning, the regular congregation of a
live church will not cotuo at a quarter to olovon.
If tho service is to begin at naif* post so von iu
the evening, the regular congregation of a livo
church will not come at a quarter to eight. In
some ohurches I havo noticed that tho pooplo
are always tardy. Taoro are some people wha
are always lato. They were born too late, and
the probability is they will dio too late. The
rustling of dresses up tho aisle, aud the slam
ming of doors, and the treading of
heavy feet, is poor inspiration for n
minister. It requires great ab
straction In a pastor's mind to proceed with
tho preliminary exercises of tho church when
one-hslf of tho audience seated aro looking
aronnd to see tho other half oome in. Snob a
diflcrnce of attendance upon tho hou so ot God
msy be a difference of Umo-plooes; bnt tho livo
church of which I am speaking ought to go by
railroad time, and that is pretty well nnder
stood in all onr communities. There is ono
great many
ting:
"Karly, my (iod. without delay,
I haste to seek Thy plsco.”
Another characteristic of a live church is tho
fact that all the people participate in tho ox-
eicines. A stranger can tell by the way the
first tune starts whether there is any
life there. A church that does
not sing is a dead church. It is
awful to find a cold drizzlo of music coming
down from the organ loft, whilo all tho peoplo
U-ncath sit in silence. When a tune wanders
around, lonely and unbefriended, and Is finally
lost amid the arches because tho people do not
join In It, there is not much melody mado
unto tho Lord. In heaven they all sing,
though some there can not sing half so well as
others. Tho Methodist church lias sung all
aronnd the world, and gone from conquest to
conquest, among other things, because It is a
singing church; and any Chrktlan church or-
ganizati >n that with enthusiasm perfinu, this
part of its duty, will go on from
triumph to triumph. A church
»f God that can sing can do anything that
ought to be done. Wo go forth into thia holy
war with the Biblo in ono hand and a hymn
book in tho other. O! yo who used to sing the
praises of tho Lord, and havo got oat of tho
habit, tsko your harps down from the willows.
1 am glad to know that, as a church, wo are
making advancement in this respect. Whon f
caiuo to bo your pastor wo bad an oxcoilont
choir in the littlo chapel, and they sang vory
sweetly to us Babbulh by Sabbath; but ever
and anon there was trouble, for you know
that the cboira in the United States are tho
Waterloo* wheio tho great battles go on. One
Sunday they will sing Hko angola, and tho
next Monday they will bo mad, and will not
sing at all. Wo resolved to settle all tho dif
ficulties. and havo oue skillful man at the or
gan, and one rnan to do tho work of a pro-
contc; and now, from Sabbath to Sabbath, tho
tong rotnes up like tho voice of mighty thun
dering#
Let those refuse to sing,
Who never knew our (iod:
But children of tho Heavoniy King
B hou Id speak their Jojrr **
On (he war to Uiuinpb that
pleasures that never die. King.
Another characteristic of a life church is a
flourishing Sabbath-school. It is too late iu
the history of the Christian church to argue
the benefit of such an Institution. TbeSsb-
the Habbsth-schools are dead too. It h a dn«d
mother holding in her arms a dead child. But
wben superintendoot, and teachers, and schol
ars come on Sabbath afternoons togotber, tbeir
fores glowing with interest and enthuiiami,
and their songs sro heard *11 through the ex
orcises, and at tho clove th*g go away
fi cling they Lsvs keen on tho Men it of Trms-
figuration—that is, s lire school, and It h clisr*
arteristic of a livo chnrch. Th^ro Is only ono
thing 1 have against the Sabbath-schools of this
country, and that is, they are too respectable.
We gather Into our schools the children of tho
refined, and the cultured, and the educated;
but, ales, for the great multitude of the chil
dren of the abandoned and the lost! A few of
them are gathered Into our Sabbath-schools;
bnt what about the 70,000 destitute children of
New York, and the score of thousands ofdeiti-
tnte children of Brooklyn, around whom are
thrown no benign, and heavenly, aid Christian
influence*? It is a tremendous nnestion. what
is to became of the destitute children of thoie
cities? We mart either act on them, or they
w ill act on us We will either Christianize them
or they will heathenize us. It is a question not
more ter the Christian than for thephilanthrop’o
«r.d the statesman. Oh ! if wo could h»vo ail
there tullering littlo ones gathered together,
what a scene of hunger, and wretched ness, and
isyt, and sin, and trouble, and darkness! If
w<-could rtt- thorn litllw feet on tho broad roul
io death, which through Christlsn charity
ot.ght to bo presiig the narrow path to life;
if we could bear those voices In blasphemy,
which ought to ho hinging the praises of (J>1;
if we could eco these little hearts, which at
(hat ought not to be soiled with one uu-
suffering
little ones sacrificed on th.> alur of every iu
iquitous passion, nrnl baptized with flro from
tho lava of the pit, wo would recoil, crying
out: “Avaunt, thou dicam of bell!" Thoy
are not always going to bo children.
They are coming up to bo the
amennd women of this corn try. That
spark of iniqnity that might now bo put out
with one drop of the water of life, will become
tho conflagration of every queer thing that G ed
over planted in the soul. That which ought
to have been a temple of the Holy Ghost will
hcccmo a scarred and blistered ruin—every
light quenched and overy altar in the dust.
That petty thief, who slips into your store and
takes a yard of cloth from your counter, will
become tho highwayman of tho forest, or the
burglar at midnight, picking tho lock of your
money safe and blowfug up your store to hide
tho villisny. A groat army, with stoggoriog
step, and bloodshot eyo and drunken hoot,
thoy nro coming on, gathering re
cruits from every grog shop and
den of infamy in the land,
to take the ballot box and hurrah at tho oloc-
tions. The hard-knuckled fist of ruffianism
will have more power than the gontlo hand of
intelligence and sobrioty. Men. bloated, and
with tho signature of sin burned in from tho
top of tho forehead to the bottom of tho chin,
will look honest men out of countonsuco.
Moral con>sre, which ought to bo buriod a hun
dred feot deep to keep them from poisoning
the air, will rot In tho faro of thu nan st noon
day. Industry in her plain frock will bo un
appreciated, while thousands of men will
wander around in id (ones.*, with their hand on
their hips, saying: "The world owes us a liv
ing.” Oh, what * trcmondouB power thoro is In
iniquity when uneducated, and unrestrainod,
and unldanchcd it goes on concentrating, and
dc<pening, and widening, and gathoring mo
mentum until tt swings ahead
witlr a very triumph of desolation,
drowning like surges, scorching likolUtnoi,
crushing liko rocks! What are you going to
do with this absudoned population of the
streets? Will you gathor thorn in your
churches? It is not the will of your He ivouly
Father that ono of theso little ones should
perish. If you have ten respectable children
in your class, gather in ton that nro not
respectable. If in your Iliblo class there bo
twenty young men who havo come from
Christian homos and elegant surroundings,
let thoso twonty young men go out and
gather in twenty more of tbo young tnon of
tho city who aro lost to sodoty. This out-
nfdo population, unless educated aud re
strained, will work terror In
ages that sro to come. Years
ago, st New Orlosnp, when tho cholora
wss raging fearfully, a steamboat put out Just
beforo nightfall, crowded with psisoogors who
were trying to esmpo from the peatilouco.
After tho boat hod been out* little while, the
engineer foil with tbo cholora. Tho captain,
lirconstornstion, wont down among tho pas
sengers and ask od: “Is thoro any ono here
who knows anything about engineering? * A
swarthy man replied: "I am an enginoor.”
••W«dl.” raid tho captain, “I would bo vory
Well, 1
>e man went to tho engino. Tho steamer
ruovrd rapidly, until, after awhlio, tho captain
and somo passengers were alarmed, and they'
wont to seo what was tho matter, aud thoy
fonnd that this was « man he en
gineer; that ho was seated on
tho safety-valve; aud as thoy
camo to him ho said: “I am commissioned of
Satan to drivo this steamer to hell!'' and ho

lives of tho pasaongera wore saved. O, my
friends! that steamer had no such nerll os our
institutions are threatened with, if tho Ignor

of these wanderers, and instead ot eighteon

of God will como down upon thorn, and tho
Holy Spirit will bring them all into tho troth.
Another charact eristic of a livo churoh is ono
with appropriate architecture. In tho for west
and amid destitute population, a log church is
very appropriate—thq peoplo living in log

peoplo live in comfortable abodes,
a church (incommodious or ■ lacking
in beauty is a moral nuisauco. Bccauno Christ
was born In a manger is no reason why we
should worship Him in a barn. Lot the church
es of Jesus Christ be not only comfortable* but
ornate. Years ago. we resolved to have a com
fortable church. We resolved that it should ho
ainpbitlicatriual In shapo. The promlnont aro i-
itecta of tlio country, after figuring ou tho
matter a good whilo, said that such a church
would not be churcbly, and they wonld have
nothing to do with tbo enterprise. But after
awhile wo found an architect willing to risk
his reputation. Ho put up for us the first tab-
crnHcfe, in arophitheatrica! style. W« likod it.
All whocamo liked it. This building followed
in tho ssmo style. We beliovo it is appropriate
and adapted. An angular church
• ill havo an angular theology.
The church of Jesus Christ ought to be a
great family circle, tho pulpit only tho fire
place, srntind which they aro gathered In
sweet and domestic communion. But thon
our first tabernaclo went up. O. tho caricature
arid the trolling! They aaltl: “it’s a hippo
drome! It's a holy circus! It’s Talmago's
theater!" Bat tbo Lord came down with pow
er upon that old building and msdo it the gate
of heaven to a great many. And this building
followed. That we wore right in perri-ning in
tho stylo of architecture is proved by the foot
that now there are sixty or seventy churches
In the United States in tho sune stylo. In
deed onr talx-rnncle has revolutionized church
architecture in this country. A live church
must have a commodious, a comfortable and
adapted building. “How amlabto are Thy
teheniarlc, O Lord of Hoe's! I would rather
bo a doorkeeper In the house of my God than
to dwell in the tonta of wickedness.”
Again, the characteristic of a live church
must be that It is a soul-caving '.church, "O,”
say some jeoplc, “the feoepel of Christ allows
bat a email swing for a man's faculties, and
somo men havo left tho ministry with that
idea” Ono such said to Rowland Hill, “Iluve
lift tho ministry, | because I don't wint
to hide my talents any longer.” ' Well,” re
plied Rowland Hill, "I think tho more you
bide joar talents the bettor." Why, there h
no field on earth so grand os that which is
open before the gospel ministry. Have you
