2Tfcocirhts Drawn from tlie Destruction of
the Temple by Samson—Sermon by
Kev. T. De Witt Tal
mage, D. D.
Dr. Talmagf recently preached in the
ißnxiklyn Tabernacle on the subject:
*Opera- houses, theaters, bowling-al-
Sfeys, skating-rinks, and all styles
«f amusement, good and bad, on
kriai.” The text was from Judges,
xvi., 25: “And it came to pass when their
hearts were merry that they said: Call
for Samson, that he may make us sport.
And they called for Samson out of the
prison-house, and he made them sport.”
!Mr. Talmage said:
h There were three thousand people as
sembled in the Temple of Dagon. They
lead come to make sport of eyeless Sam
son. They were all ready for the enter
tainment. They began to clap and pound,
-impatient for the amusement to begin, and
■lihev cried: “Fetch him out! Fetch him
jut!” Yonder I see the blind old giant
®omin~, led by the hand of a child into the
Twy midst of the temple. At his first ap
pearance there goes up a shout of laughter
»»d derision. The blind old giant pretends
the is tired and wants to rest himself
»g*.inst the pillars of the house. So he
lays to the lad who leads him: “Show me
where the main pillars are.” The lad does
jo. Then the strong man puts his right
is a ini on one pillar, and with the mightiest
push that mortal ever made throws him
»elf forward until the whole house comes
•iowp in thunderous crash, grinding the
iaudience like grapes in a wine-press.
“‘And so it came to pass when their hearts
Were merry that they said: ‘Call for
fiamsoQ, that he may make us sport.’ And
they called for Snmson out of the prison
house, and he made them sport.” In other
words, there are amusements that are de
structive and bring down disaster and
death upon the heads or those who prac
tice them. While they faugh and cheer
jfhey die. The three thousand who per
ished that day in the Gaza sire as nothing
compared with the tens of thousands who
'Slave been destroyed Dody, mind and soul
fey bad amusements and by good amuse
ments carried to excess.
I' In this course of sermons / am now
preaching you must have noticed that I
ihave uo sympathy with ecclesiastical
■trait-jackets or with that wholesale de
aiunciation of amusements to which many
twe pledged. There are a great many who
denounce hall-playing. They hate puz
*les. They despise charades. They ab
hor tableaux. They say: “Away with
*ll parlor games 1” They talk as if they j
would like to have our youth dressed in
Iblue uniform, like the children of an orphan
asylum, and march down the path of life
to the tune of the “Dead March in Saul.”
They hate a blue sash or a rosebud in the
hair or a tasseled gaiter, and think a man
almost ready for Sing Sing who utters a
«onundrum. Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciations of the country are doing a glorious
work. They have fine readiug-roOms, and
*ll the influences are of the best kind, and
are now adding gymnasiums and bowl
ing-alleys, where, without any evil
■urroundings, our young men may
get physical as well as spiritual
impiovement. We are dwindling away
to a narrow-chested, weak-armed,
feeble-voiced race. When God calls us to
* work in which He wants physical as
W ell as spiritual athletes, I would to God
that the time might soon come when in
*ll our colleges and theological seminaries)
as at Princeton, a gymnasium shall be
established. We spend seven years of
*ard study in preparation for the minis
try, and come out with bronchitis and
dyspepsia and liver complaint, and then
Wawl up into the pulpit, and the people
*ay: “Don’t he look Heavenly?” because
*ke looks sickly. Let the Church of God
direct rather than attempt to suppress the
desire for amusement. The best men that
the world ever knew have had their
■pprts. William Wilberforce trundled
■fcoop with his children. Martin Luther
ielped dress the Christmas tree. Minis
ters have pitched quoits. Philanthropists
■fiare gone n-skating. Prime Ministers
lave played ball.
> Show me a man who never lights up
with a sportfulness and has no sympathy
with the recreations of others, and I will
»how you a man who is a stumbling-block
to the Kingdom of God. Such men are
caricatures of religion. They lead young
people to think that a man is good in pro
portion as he groans and frowns and looks
■allow, and that the height of a man’s
Christian stature is in proportion to the
length of his face. I would trade oil five
ftundred such; men for one bright-faced
■adiant Christian on whose face are the
words: “Rejoice evermore!” Our reli
gion is a bright angel—feet bright, eyes
bright, wings bright. Taking her place in
in the soul, she pulls a rope that reaches
*o the skies and sets all the bells of Heav
en i-chiming. There are some persons
who when talking to a minister always
feel it politic to look lugubrious. Go forth,
® people, to your ldwful amusement! God
■leans you to be happy. But when there
*re so many sources of innocent pleasure
why tamper with anything that is dan
gerous and polluting?
jt Now, all opera-houses, theaters, bowl
ifag-alleys, skating-rinks, and all styles of
amusement, good and bad, I put on trial
Ho-day, and judge of them by certain car
dinal principles. First, you may judge of
any amusement by its healthful result, or
*y its baleful reaction. If an amusement
aends you home at night nervous so you
tan not sleep, and you rise in the morning,
aot because you are slept out, but because
j!»ur duty drags you from your slumbers,
you have been where you ought not to
lave been. There are amusements that
.tend a man next day to his work blood
diot, yawning, stupid, nauseated, and they
xre wrong kinds of amusement. There are
jDtertaimnents that give a man disgust
with the drudgery of life, with tools be
cause they are not swords, with working
aprons because they are not robes, with
cattle because they are not infuriated
Hulls of the arena. It any amusement
aends you home longing for a life of ro
mance and thrilling adventure, love that
fiakes poison and shoots itself, moonlight
adventures and hairbreadth escapes, you
may depend upon it you are the sacrificed
jdctiui of unsanctified pleasure. Our
®ecreations are intended to build us up, and
it they pull us down as to our moral or as
!*> our physical strength, you may come to
Mie conclusion that they are obnoxious.
R fctiil further: those amusements are
wrong which lead you Into expenditure
beyond your means. Money spent in recre
ation is not thrown away. It is all folly
for us to come from a place of amusement
feeling that we have wasted our money
and timo. You may by it have made an
investment worth more than the transac
tion that yielded you a hundred or a
thousand dollars. But how many proper
ties have been riddled by costly amuse
ments? The table has been robbed to pay
the club. The champagne has cheated the
children’s wardrobe. The carousing party
has burned up the boy’s primer. The table
cloth of the corner saloon is in debt to the
wife’s faded dress. Excursions that in a
day make a tour around a whole mouth’s
wages; ladies whose life-time business is
to “go shopping” have their counterparts
in uneducated children, bankruptcies that
shock the money market and appall
the church and that send drunkenness
staggering across the richly-figured carpet
of the mansion and dashing into the mirror
and drowning out the carol of music with
the whooping of bloated sons come home
to break their old mother’s heart. When
men go into amusements that they can not
afford they first borrow what they can not
earn, apd then they steal what they can
not borrow. First they go into embarrass
ments and then into lying, and then into
theft, and when a man gets as far on as
that he does not stop short of the peniten
tiary. There is not a prison in the land
where there are not victims of unsanctified
amusements. How often I have had parents
come to me and ask me to go over to New
York and beg their boy off from crimes
that he had committed against his em
ployer—the taking of funds out of the
employer’s till or the disarrangement of
the accounts. Why, he had salary enough
to pay all lawful expenditure, but not
enough salary to meet his sinful amuse
ments.
How brightly the path of unrestrained
amusement opens! The young man says:
“Now lam off for a good time. Never
mind economy. I’ll get money somehow.
What a fine road ! What a beautiful day
for a ride! Crack the whip and over the
turnpike! Come, boys, fill high your
glasses. Drink! Long life, health, plenty
of rides just like this!” Hard working
tqen hear the clatter of the hoofs and look
up and say: “Why, I wonder where those
fellows get their money from? We have
to toil and drudge. They do nothing.” To
these gay men life is a thrill and an excite
ment. They stare at other people and in
turn are stared at. The watch-chain
jingles. The cup foams. The cheeks
flush. The eyes flash. The midnight hears
their guffaw. They swagger. They jostle
decent men off the sidewalk. They take
the name of God in vain. They parody the
hymn they learned at their mother’s knee!
and to all pictures of coming disaster they
cry out: “Who cares!” and to the coun
sel of some Christian frieni: “Who are
you?” Passing along the street some
night you hear a shriek in a grog-shop,
the rattle of the watchman’s club, the
rush of the police. What is the matter
now? Oh, this reckless young man has
been killed in a grog-shop fight. Carry
him home to his father’s house. Parents
will come down and wash his wound and
close his eyes in death. They forgive him
all that he ever did, though he can not in
his silence ask it. The prodigal has got
home at last.
You may judge of amusements by their
effect upon physical health. The great
need of many good people is physical re
cuperation. I want to tell the Christian
people of my congregation that God will
hold you responsible for your invalidism
if it is your fault, and when through right
exercise and prudence you might be ath
letic and well. The effect of the body upon
the soul you acknowledge. Put a man of
mild disposition upon the animal diet of
which the ludian > partakes and in a little
while Kis blood will change its chemical
proportions. It will become like unto the
blood of the lion or the tiger, or the bear,
while his disposition will change and be
come fierce, cruel and unrelenting. The
body has a powerful effect upon the soul.
There are good people whose ideas of
Heaven are all shut out with clouds of to
bacco smoke. There are people who dare
to shatter the physical vase in which God
put the jewel of eternity. There are men
with great hearts and intellects in bodies
worn out by their own neglects; magnifi
cent machinery, capable of propelling a
Great Eastern across the Atlantic, yet
fastened in a rickety North River pro
peller. Physical development which
merely shows itself in fabulous lifting, or
in perilous rope-walking, or in pu'gilistic
encounters, excites only our contempt.
But we confess to great admiration for the
man who has a great soul in an athletic
body, every nerve, muscle and bone of
which is consei rated to right uses. Oh ! it
seems to me outrageous that men. through
neglect, should allow their physical health
to go down beyond repair, spending the
rest of their life, not in some g’ eat enter
prise for God and the world, but in study
ing what is the best thing to take for dys
pepsia. When you may, through some of
the popular and healthful recreations of
our time, work off your spleen and your
querulousness and one-half of your phy
sical and mental ailments, do not turn
your back from such a grand medicament.
Again, judge of places of amusement by
the companionship into which they put
you. If you belong to an organization
where you have to associate with the in
temperate, with the unclean, with the
abandoned, however well Aey may be
dressed, in the name of God qujfcr.t. They
will despoil your nature. They will under
mine your moral character. They will
drop you when you are destroyed. They
will give not one cent to support your
children when you are dead. They will
weep not one tear at your burial. They
will chuckle over your damnation. But
the day comes when tho men who have ex
erted such influence upon their fellows
will be brought to judgment. Scene, the
last day. Stage, the rocking earth. Enter
Dukes, Lords, Kings, beggars, clowns.
No sword, no tinsel, no crown. For foot
lights, the kindling flames of a world. For
orchestra, the trumpets that wake the
dead. For gallery, the clouds, filled with
angel spectators. For applause, the clap
ping floods of the sea. For curtain, the
heavens rolled together on a scroll. For
tragedy, the doom of the destroyed. For
farce, the effort to serve the worid and
God at the same time. For the last scene
of the fifth act, the tramp of nations across
the stage —some to the right, others to the
left.
Again, any amusement that gives you a
distaste for domestic life is bad. How
many bright, domestic circles have been
broken up by sinlul amusements! The
father went off, the mother went off, tho
child went off. There are to-day the frag
rpents before me of blasted households,
Oh, if you have wandered away, I would
like to charm you back by the sound of
that one word, “ Home.” Do you not
know that you have but little more tip«
to give to domestic welfare? Do you not
see, father, that your children are soon to
go out into the world and all the influence
for good you are to have over them you
must have now? Death will break in on
your conjugal relations, and, alas, if you
have to stand over the grave of one who
perished from your neglect! 1 saw a
way ward husband standing at the death
bed of his Christian wife, and 1 saw her
point to a ring on her finger and heard
her say to her husband: “Do you see
that ring?” He replied: “Yes, I see it.”
“ Well,” said she, “do you remember
who put it there?” “ Yes,” said
he, “ I put it there,” and all
the past seemed to rush upon him.
By the memory of that day when in
the presence of men and the angels you
promised to be faithful in joy and sorrow,
and in sickness and in health; by the
memory of those pleasant hours when you
sat together in your new home, talking of
a bright future by the cradle, and the joy
ful hour when one life was spared and
another given; by that sick-bed, when the
little one lifted up the hands and called for
help, and you knew he must die, and he
put one arm round each of your necks and
brought you very near together in that
dying kiss; by the grave in Greenwood,
that you never think of without a rush of
tears; by the Family Bible, where in its
stories of Heavenly love is the brief but
expressive record of births and deaths; by
the neglects of the past, and by the ago
nies of the future; by a judgment day,
when husbands and wives, parents and
children, in immortal groups will stand to
be caught up in shining array, or to shrink
down into darkness; by all that, I beg you
to give to home your best affections. I
look in your eyes to-day, and I ask you the
question that Gehazi asked of the Shuna
mite: “Is it well with thee? Is it well
with thy husband? Is it well with thy
child?” God grant that it may be ever
lastingly well!
Let me to say to all young men, your
style of amusement will decide your eter
nal destiny. One night I saw a young
man at the street corner, evidently doubt
ing as to which direction he had better
take. He had his hat lifted high enough
so you could see he had an intelligent fore
head; stout chest. He had a robust devel
opment. Splendid young man; cultured
young man; honored young man. Why
did he stop there while so many were go
ing up and down? The fact is that every
man has'a good and a bad angel contend
ing for the mastery of his spirit; and there
was the good and bad angel struggling
with that young man’s soul at the corner
of the street. “Come with mo,” said- the
good angel. “I will take you home. I will
spread my wing over vour pathway. I
will lovingly escort you all through life.
I will bless every cup you drink out of,
every couch you rest on, every doerway
you enter. I will consecrate your tears
when you weep, your sweat when you toil,
and at the last 1 will hand over your grave
into the hand of the bright angel
of a Christian resurrection. In
answer to your father’s petition and
your mother’s prayer I have been sent of
the Lord out of Heaven to be your guardian
spirit. Come with me!” said the good
angel, in a voice of unearthly symphony.
It was music like that which drops from a
lute of Heaven when a seraph breathes on
it. “No, no,” said the bad angel. “Come
; with me. I have something better to offer.
! The wines I pour are from chalices of be
-1 witching carousal; the dance I lead is over
floor tessellated with unrestrained indul
i gencies; there is no God to frown on the
temples of sin where I worship. The skies
are Italian; the paths I tread are through
meadows daisied and primrosed. Come
with me!” The young man hesitated at a
time when hesitation was ruin, and the bad
angel the good angel until it de
parted, spreading wings through the star-
and away until a door flashed
open in the sky, and forever the wings
vanished. That was the turning-point in
that young man’s history, fet, the good
angel flown, he hesitated no longer, but
started on a pathway which is beautiful
at the opening, but blasted at the last.
The bad angel, leading the way, opened
gate after gate, and gate the
road became rougher a&l the sky more
lurid, and, what was peculiar, asfthe gate
slammed shut it came to with affjar that
indicated that it would never ope# Passed
each portal, there was a grinding*of lockr.
and a shoving of bolts; and the scenery
on either side the road changed from gar
dens to deserts, and the June air became
a cutting December blast, and the bl ight
wings of the bad angel turned to sack
cloth, and the eyes of light became hollow
with hopeless grief, and the fountains,
that at the start had tossed wine, poured
forth bubbling tears and foaming blood,
and on the right side of the road there
was a serpent, and the man said to the
bad angel: “ What is that serpent?”
And the answer was: “That is the ser
pent of stinging remorse.” On the left
side of the road there was a lion, and the
man said to the bad angel: “ What is that
lion?” And the answer was: “That is
the lion of all-devouring despair.” A vul
ture flew through the sky, and the man
asked the bad angfel: “What is that
vulture?” And the answer was: “That
is the vulture waiting for the carcasses
of the slain.” And then the man began
to try to pull off of him the folds of some
thing that had wound him round and
round, and he said to the bad angel:
“What is it that twists me in this awful
convolution?” And the answer was:
“That is the worm that never dies!” And
then the man said to the bad angel: “What
does all th s mean? I trusted in what you
said at the corner of the street that night.
I trusted it all, and why have you thus de
ceived me?” Then the last deception fell
off the charmer, and it said: “1 was sent
forth from the pit to destroy your soul. I
watched my chance for many a long year.
When you hesitated that night on the
street I gained my triumph. Now you are
here. Hal ha! You are here. Come, now,
let us fill these two chalices ot fire and
drink together to darkivess and woe and
death. Hail! hail!”
O young man, will the good angel sent
forth by Christ or the bad angel sent forth
by sin get the victory over your soul?
Their wings are interlocked this moment
above you, contending for your destiny, as
above the Apennines eagle and condor fight
midsky. This hour may decide your des
tiny. God help you! To hesitate is to die!
