TALMAGE’S SEHMON.
A Short Sermon on Long Life for
the Human Race.
How We Shorten Our Lives by Dls
obedience to Natural Laws—The Re-
Uginu of Health—Christianity
and Hygiene.
Dr. Taltuage, in a recent sermon, took
tlie subject of “Long Life” as bis theme,
the following text being used as the foun
dation:
that thy days may be long uiioa the land
which the Lord thy" bod giveth thee,—Exo
dus xx, It.
.lanuary 3d, Ism! ! The old almanacs and
the old memorandums flung aside. Every
thing to remind ns of the fact that another
volume in the history of time has begun,
aud every thoughtful inau and woman at
such time discusses the length or the short
u-.-s of human life. Faithful discharge of
duty is in my text set fort has having much
to do with the length of our earthly stay.
Through the mistakes of its friends religion
has been chiefly associated with sick-beds
and graveyards. This whole subject to
many people is odorous with chlorine and
carbolic acid. There are people who can
not pronounce the word “religion” with
out hearing in it the clipping chisel of the
tombstone cutter. It is high time that this
thing were changed and that religion, in
stead of being represented as a hearse to
carry out the dead, should he represented
.. . cnaiiot in which the uving are to tn
i;mph. Religion, so far from subtracting
from one's vitality , is a glorious addition.
It is sanative, curative, hygienic. It is
good tor the eyes, good for the ears, good
for the spleen, good for the digestion,
good for the nerves, good for the muscles.
When David in the Fsalms prays
that religion may be dominant he does not
speak of it as a mild sickness or an emacia
tion, or an attack of moral and spiritual
cramp; be speaks of it as “the saving
health of all nations,” while God pro
nounces long life to the pious, saying:'
“With long life will I satisfy thee.”
The fact is that men and women die too
soon. It is high time that religion joined
the hand of medical science in attempting
to improve human longevity, Adam lived
!viu years. Methusaleh lived 909 years. As
late in the history of the world as Vespa
sian, there were at one time in his empire
forty-five people 135 years old. So far
down us the sixteenth century Peter Zar
-lan died at lbo years of age. Ido not say
that religion will ever take, the race back
to antediluvian longevity, but I do say the
length of human life will be greatly im
proved. It is said in Isaiah lxv., 20: “The
shall die a hundred years old.” Now,
if, aecordn,/ to the Scripturos, the child is
to be a hundred /ears old, may not the
men and women reaci; to 300, and 400 and
600? The fact is that we are mere dwarfs
and skeletons compared with some of the
generations that are to come.
My design is to show you that practical
religion is the friend of long life, and I
prove it first from the fact that it makes
♦he care of our physical health a positive
Christian duty. Whether we shall keep
early or late hours: whether we shall take
food digestible or indigestible; whether
♦ here shall be thorough or incomplete mas
tication, are questions very often deferred
to the realm of whimsicality; but the
Christian man lifts this whole problem of
health into the accountable and the divine.
He says: “God has given me this body
and he has called it the temple of the Holy
Ghost, and to deface its altars, or mar its
walls, or crumble its pillars is a God-defy
ing sacrilege.” He sees God’s calligraphy
in every page, anatomical and physiologi
cal. He says: “God has given me a won
derful body for noble purposes.” That
arm, with thirty-two curious bones, wield
ed by forty-six curious muscles, and all
under the brain telegraphy; 360 pounds of
blood rushing through the heart every
hour; the heart in twenty-four hours beat
ing 100,000 times; during the twenty
four hours overcoming resistance
amounting to 221,000,000 pounds
weight: during the same time the lungs
taking in fifty-seven hogsheads of air; and
ail this mechanism not more mighty than
delicate, aud easily disturbed and demol
ished. The Christian man says to himself:
“If I hurt my nerves, if I hurt my brain, if
1 hurt any of my physical faculties, 1 in
sult God and call for dire retribution.”
VVby did God tell the Levites not to offer
to him in sacrifice animals imperfect or
i diseased? He meant to tell us in all the
V ages that we are to offer to God our very
best physical condition; and a man who
through irregular or gluttonous eating,
ruins his health, is uot offering to God such
a sacrifice. Why did Paul write for his
cloak at Troas? Why should such a great
man as Paul be anxious about a thing so
insignificant as an overcoat? It was be
cause he knew that with pneumonia and
rheumatism he would not lie worth half as
much to God and the Church as with res
piration easy and foot free.
An intelligent Christian man would con
sider it an absurdity to kneel down at
night to pray and ask God’s protection,
while at the same time he kept the win
dows of his bed-room tight shut against
fresh air. He would just as. soon think of
going out on the bridge between New
York and Brooklyn, leaping off and then
praying to God to keep bin from getting
hurt. Just as long as you defer this whole
subject of physical health to the realm of
whimsicality, or to the pastry-cook,
or to the butcher, or to the baker, or to the
apothecary, or to the clothier, you are
not acting like a Christian. The care of
all your physical forces—nervous, mus
cular, bone, brain, cellular tissue—for all
you must be brought to judgment.
Smoking vour nervous system into
fidgets; burning out the coating of your
stomach with wine logwooded and
strychnined; walking with thin shoes to
make your feet look delicate; pinched at
the waist until you are nigh-Cut iu two,
and neither part worth - anything: groan
ing about sick headache and palpitation
of the heart, which you think come from
God, when they' come from your own fol
ly'! What right has any man or any
woman to deface the temple of the Holy
Ghost?
What is the ear? Why, it is the- whis
pering gallery of the human soul. What
is the eye? It is the observatory God con
structed, its telescope sw'ceping the
heavens. What is the hand? An instru
ment so wonderful that when the Earl
of Bridgewater bequeathed in his will
fIO,OOO for treatises to he written on the
wisdom, power and goodness of God, Sir
Charles Bell, the great English anatomist
and surgeon, found his greatest H lustra
tion in lb* i-oiisti action of the human
band, devoting his whole book to
that subject. So wonderful exp these bod
ies that God names his own attributes
after the different parts, His omniscience
—it la God’s ear. His omnipotence—it is
God’s arm. The upholstery of the mid
night heavens—it is the work of God’s
fingers. His life-giving power—it is the
breath of the Almighty. His dominion—■
the Government shall be upon His shoulder.
A body so divinely honored and so divinely
constructed, let us be careful not to abuse
it. When it becomes a Christian duty to
take care of our health, is not the whole
tendency toward long life? If I toss my
watch about recklessly and drop it on the
pavement and wind it up any time o* day
or night I happen to think of it, and often
let it run down, and while y'ou are careful
with your watch and never abuse it, and
wind it up at just the same hour every
night, and put it in a placewhereltwi.il
not suffer from the violent changes of the
atmosphere, which watch will last the
longer? Common sense answers. Now,
the human body is God’s watch. You see
the hands of the watch, you see the face
of the watch; but the beating of the heart
is the ticking of the watch. Oh, be careful
and do not let it run down!
Again, I remark that practical religion
is a friend of long life, in the fact that it is
a protest against ull the dissipations which
injure and destroy the health. Bad men
and women live a very short life. Their
sins kill them. I know hundreds of good
old men, but I do not know half a dozen
bad old men. Why? They do uot get old.
Lord Byron died at Missolonghi at thirty
six years of age, himself his owuMazeppa,
his unbridled passions that dashed with
him into the desert. Edgar A. Poe died at
Baltimore at thirty-eight, years of age.
The black raven that alighted on the bust
above his chamber door was delirium tre
mens.
Only this and nothing more.
Napoleon Bonaparte lived only just be
yond mid-life, then died at St. Helena, and
one of his doctors said that his disease was
induced by excessive snuffing. The hero
of Austerlitz, the man who by one step of
his foot in the center of Europe shook the
earth, killed by a snuff-box! Oh, how
many people we have known who have uot
lived out half their days because of their
dissipations and indulgences! Now, prac
tical religion is a protest against all dissi
pation of any kind. “But,” you say,
“professors of religion have fallen, pro
fessors of religion have got drunk, pro
fessors of religiou have misappropriated
trust funds, professors of religion have ab
sconded.” Yes, but they threw away their
religiou before they did their morality. If
a man on a White Star Line steamer bound
for Liverpool, in mid-Atlantic jumps over
board and is drowned, is that anything
against the White Star Line’s capacity to
take the man across the ocean? Aud if a
man jumps over the gunwale of his re
ligion and goes down never to rise, is
that any reason for your believing that re
ligion has no capacity to take the man
clear through? In the one case, if he bad
kept to the steamer his body would have
been saved; in the other ease, if he had
kept to his religiou his murals would have
been saved. There are aged people in this
house to-day who would have been dead
twenty-five years ago hut for the defenses
and the equipoise of religion, You have
no more natural re*stance than hun
dreds of people who lie in the cemeteries
to-day, slain by their own vices. The doc
tors made their cases as kind and pleasant
as they could, aud it was called conges
tion of the brain or something else, but the
snakes and blue flies that seemed to crawl
over the pillow in the sight of the delirious
patient, showed what was the matter with
him. You, the aged Christiau man, walked
along by that unhappy one until you came
to the golden pillar of a Christian life. You
went to the right, he went to the left. That
is not all the difference between you. Ob,
if this religion is a protest against all forms
of dissipation, then it is an illustrious
friend of long life.
Again, religion is a friend of long life in
the fact that it takes the worry out of our
temporalities. It is not work that kills
men, it is worry. When a man becomes a
genuine Christian he makes over to God
not only his affections, but his family, his
business, his reputation, his body, his
mind, his soul—everything. Industrious
he will be, but never worrying, because
God is managing his affairs. How can he
worry about business when, in answer to
his prayers, God tells him when to buy aud
when to sell, and if he gain, that is best,
and if he lose, that is best?
Suppose you had a supernatural neigh
bor who came in and said: “Sir, I want
you to call on me in every exigency. lam
your fast friend; I could fall back on $20,-
000,000; I can foresee a panic ten years; l
hold the controlling stock in thirty of the
best monetary institutions of New York;
whenever you are in any trouble coll on
me and I will help you: you can have my
money, and you can have my influence;
there is my hand in pledge for it.” How
much would you worry about business?
Why you would say: “I’ll do the best I
can and then I’ll depend upon ruy friend’s
generosity tor the rest.” fow, more than
that is promised to every Vjiristian busi
ness man. God says to him? New
York and London and St. Petersburg, and
Pekin and Australia and California are
mine: I can foresee a panic a million years;
I have all the resources of the universe,
aud lam your fast friend: when you get
in business trouble or any other trouble,
call ou me and I will hear, and I will help:
here is my hand in pledge of omnipotent
deliverance.” How much should that man
worry? Not much. What lion will dare to
put his paw on that Daniel? If you could
take a thermometer and thrust it into
Sbadracb’s furnace, it would never go up
over seventy-five degrees. Is there not
rest in this? Is there not an eternal vaca
tion in this?
“Ob,” you say. “here is the mau who
a.ked God for a blessing upou a certain
enterprise, and he lost $5,000 in it. Ex
plain that.” I will. Yonder is a fac
tory, and one wheel is going north and the
other wheel is going south, and one wheel
plays laterally and the other plays verti
cally. I go to the manufacturer and I
say: “O, manufacturer, your niaeliiuery
is a contradiction. Why do you not make
all the wheels go one way?” “Well,” he
says, “I made them to go in opposite di
rections on purpose, and tb«y produce the
right result. You go down stairs aud ex
amine the carpets we are turning out iu
this establishment, and you will’ see.” 1
go down on the other floor, and I see the
carpets, and I am obliged to confess that,
though the wheels iu the factory go in op
posite directions, they turn out a tieautiful
result: and while I am standing there
looking at the exquisite fabric, mi old
Scripture passage comes into in> mind:
“All things work together for good to
them who love God.” Is there not rest in
that? Is there not tonic In that? Is there
not longevity in that?
Suppose a man is all the time worried
about his reputation? One man says he
lies, another says ho is stupid, another
says he is dishonest, and half a dozen
printing establishments attack him* *»« l
he is in a great state of excitement &!£,.
worry and fume, and can not sleep;
religion comes to him and says: “Many
God is on your side; he will take care of
your reputation. If God be for you who
cau he against you?” How much should
that man worry about his reputation? Not
much. If that broker who a few years ago
in Wall street, after he had lost his money,
sat down aud wrote a farewell letter to his
wife before he blew his brains out, if,
instead of taking out of bis pocket a
pistol, he had taken out a well-read
New Testament, there would have
been one less suicide. O nervous and fe
verish people of the world, try this Al
mighty sedative; you will live tweuty
flve years longer under its soothing
power. It is not chloral that you want,
or more time that you want, it is the gos
pel of Jesus Christ.
Again, practical religion is u friend of
long life, in the fact that it removes all
corroding care about a future existence.
Every man wants to know what is
to become of him. If you get on
board a railroad train you want to know
at what depot it is going to stop; if you
get on board a ship you want to know
into what harbor it is going to run; and
•if you should tell me you have no interest
in what is to be your future destiny, I
would, in as polite way as I know how,
tell you I did not believe you. Before
I had this matter settled with refer
ence to my future existence, the
question almost, worried me into ruinec
health. The anxieties men have upon tbit
subject, if put together, would make i
martyrdom. This is a state of awful un
healthlnesss. There are people who fret
themselves to death for fear of dying. I
want this morning to take the straiu off
your nerves and the depression off your
soul, and I will make two or three experi
ments.
Experiment the first: When you go out
of the world it does not make any differ
ence whether you have been good or bad,
or whether you believed truth or error, you
will go straight to glory. “Impossible,”
you say; “my common sense, as well as
my religion, teaches me the bad and the
good can not live together forever. You
give mo no comfort in that experiment.”
Experiment the second—When you leave
this world you will go into an intermediate
state, where you can get converted and
prepared for heaven. “Impossible,” ‘you
say; “as the tree falleth so it must lie, and
1 can not postpone to an intermediate statf
that reformation which ought to have beef
effected in this state.”
Experiment the third—There is no fu
ture world: when a man dies that is the
lqst 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;
there is something that tells me that on this
side of the grave I only get started, and thal
1 shall go on forever. My power tothinl
says ‘Forever;’ my affections say ‘Forev
er;’my capacity to enjoy or suffer says
‘Forever.’ ’’
Well, you defeat me ill my three experi
ments. I have only one more to make, and
if you defeat me in that I am exhausted.
A Mighty One on a knoll back of Jeru
salem one day, the sky filled with forked
lightnings and the earth filled with vol
canic disturbances, turned his pal and
agonized face toward the heavens, and
said: “iCalfhthe sins'njid sorrows of the
ages*nto my own heart. I axn the expia
tion. Witness earth and heaven and hell.
I am the expiation.” And the hammer
struck him, and the spears punctured him,
and heaven thundered: “The of
sin is death;” “The soul that sinneth it
shall die;” “I will by no means clear the
guilty.” Then there was silence for half
an hour, and the lightnings were drawn
back into the scabbard of the and the
earth ceased to quiver, and aW colors
of the sky began to shift
into a rainbow woven out ot'Jyhe
falling tears of Jesus, and there F'-as
red as of the blood shedding, aud
there was blue as of the bruising, and there
was green as of the heavenly foliage, and
there was orange as of the day dawn, and
along the line of the blue 1 saw the words,
“I was bruised for their iniquities;” and
along the line of the red I saw the words,
“The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from
all sin;” and along the line of the greeu I
saw the words. “The leaves of the tree of
life for the healing of the nations:” and
along the line of the orange I saw the
words, “The day spring from on high hath
visited us.” And then I saw’ the storm was
over, and the rainbow rose higher and
higher, until it seemed retreating to anoth
er heaven, and planting one column of its
colors on one side the eternal hill, and
planting the other column of its colors or
the other side the eternal hill, it rose up
ward and upward, and behold ! there wai
a rainbow round about the throne.
Accept that sacrifice and «juit worrying
Take the tonic, the inspiration, the longev
ity of this truth. Religion is sunshine;
that Is healthy'. Religion is fresh air and
pure water; they are healthy’. Ask all the
doctors and they will tell you that a quiet
conscience and pleasant anticipations are
hygienic. I offer you perfect peace now
and hereafter. What do you want in the
future world? Tell me and you shall have
it. Orchards? There are the trees with
twelve manner of fruits, yielding fruit
every month. Water? Scenery’? There
is the River of Life from under the throne
of God, clear as crystal, and the sea of
glass mingled with fire. Do you want
music? There is the oratorio of the Crea -
tiou, led on by Adam: and the oratorio of
the Red Sea, led on by Moses; and the
oratorio of the Messiah, led on by' St.
Paul, while the archangel, with swing
ing baton, controls the 141,000 who
make up the orchestra. Do you want re
union? There are your dead children wait
ing to kiss you. waiting to embrace you,
waiting to twist garlands in your hair.
You have been accustomed to open ttao
door on this side the sepulcher; this morn
ing I open the door on the oth«r side the
sepulcher. You have been accustomed ,jtm
walk in wet grass on the top of the gosttf
I show you the under side of the grave.
The bottom has fallen out and the d*ug
ropes with which the pall-bearers let down
your dead, let them clear through into
heaven. Glory be to God Tor this robust,
healthy religion ! It will have a tendency
to make you live long in this world, and in
the world to come you will have eternal
longevity

est Of it:
“A new Haai’jVast' volcano has arisen
in the Pacific Ocean. At daylight on
the 13th of October we observed dense
volumes of steam, smoke and cloud as

approach any nearer that night, we lay
to till morning. We then approached
to within about the distance of two
miles. 1 have not words to express my
wonder and surprise at its changing
splendor. Emotions take place every
one or two minutes, changing its ap
pearance every second, like a dissolving
view. I can only say it was one of the
most awfully grand sights I ever wit
nessed on the high seas. As near as
able to calculate the position of the vol
cano, it is about fourteen miles from the
Island of Honga-Tonga. As to the size
of the island thrown up, I am unable
to state correctly, there being so much
steam and clouds hanging over it, but
I judge it is at least two or three miles
long and sixty feet high.”

—A prosy minister in a country church,
when he had reached his “twelfthly,’'be
came thirsty, and, not finding any water
on the shelf under the pulpit, called to
a deacon; ••Brother Brown, there's no
water here.” “Do you want some?”
inquired the deacon. A glass was
brought, and the preacher proceeded to
gulp it down. “Mr. Gooalove,” whis
pered the deacon, waiting for the glass.
“Well, what is it?” asked the preacher,
stopping his libation. “Don’t you think
you'd better offer a little to your ser

Why .Jews Dive so Tong.
The X"o England. Medical Monthly com
ments very favorably on the proverbial
long and healthful lives of the Jews. Dr,
Picard holds that this superiority is due to
their stringent health laws. The Mosaic,
like the older Egyptian code, is very strin
gent regarding the eating of flesh and other
articles of food. Of the animals examined,
a large proportion are always condemned
as unfit for food. People who eat meat in
discriminately are very prone to disorders
of the blood and of the kidneys, for meat is
composed of nitrogen, which the kidneys
have to remove from the blood, and of
course they can not do this successfully ex
cept by the aid of Warner’s safe cure, the
bost kidney strengthener, unless it is tem
perately partaken of and only the very
best meat is used. Jews also use alcoholic
liquors very sparingly and thus keep up
food digestion, and then again they are a
oliday-loviug and Sabbath-observingclass.
