CONCORD AND DISCORD.
Sin Came and the Concord of Sweet
Sounds Melted Away;
Bnt the Song of the Morning: Stars Will He
Resinned Again, When the Vespers Will
lie Sweeter and All Things in Consonance
—Ur. Talmage's Sermon.
Brooklyn, Nov. 6. —Rev. T. DeWitt Tal
inage, D. D., tiicoursed this morning on
“Concord and Discord,” and the text was
from Job, xxxviii., 6-7: “Who laid the cor
ner-stone thereof; when the morning stars
•ang together?” Dr. Tal mage said:
We all have seen the ceremony at the
laying of the corner-stone of church, asy
lum or Masonic temple. Into the hollow
•of the stone were placed scrolls of history
and important documents to be suggestive
if, one or two hundred years after, the
building should be destroyed by lire or torn
down. We remember the silver trowel or
lAh hammer that smote the square piece
of granite into sanctity. We re
member some venerable man who pre
sided, wielding the trowel or hammer.
We remember also the music as the choir
stood on the scattered stones and timber
of the building about to be constructed.
The leaves of the note-books fluttered in
the wind, and were turned over with a
great rustling, and we remember how
the groat bass, baritone, tenor, contralto
and soprano voices were commingled.
They had for many days been rehearsing
the special programme, that it might be
worthy of the corner-stone laying.
In my text the poet of Uz calls us to a
gftkudW ceremony—the laying of tho
foundation of this great temple of a world.
The garner-stone was a block of light and
the trowel was of celestial crystal. All
about and on the embankments of cloud
stood (he angelic choristers, unrolling
tbeir librettos of overture, and other
worlds clapped shining cymbals while the
ceremony went on, and God, the architect,
by s'roke of light after stroke of light,
dedicated this great cathedral of a world,
with mountains for pillars and sky for
frescoed ceding, and flowering fields for
floor, and sunrise and midnight aurora for
upholstery. “Who laid the corner-stone
thereof; when the morning stars sang to
gether?”
The fact is that the whole universe was
*• complete cadence, an unbroken dithy
ramb, a musical portfolio. The great
sheet of immensity had boon spread out,
and written on it were the stars, the
fmallcr of thorn minims, the larger of
them sustained notes. The meteors
marked the staccato passages, the whole
heavens a gamut, with all sounds, intona
tions and modulations, the space between
the worlds a musical interval, trembling
pf sto liar light a quaver, tho thunder a
bass clef, the wind among the trees a tre
ble clef. That is the way God made all
■filings a perfect harmony.
But one'day a harp-string snapped in the
orchestra. One day a voice sounded
*ut of tune.
One day a discord, harsh and terrific,
/rated upon the glorious antiphone. It
was sin ttiat made the dissonance and that
harsh discord has been sounding through
centuries. All the wprk of Christians and
philanthropists and reformers of all ages
is to stop that discord and ge„ all things
t»ack into the perfect harmony which was
neard at tho laying of thi juraer-stoue
■when the morning stars sam?**together.
Before I get through, if I am divinely
helped, I will make it plain that sin is dis
cord and righteousness is harmony.
That things in general are out of tune is
as plain as to a musician’s ear is the un
happy clash of clarionet and bassoon in an
•orchestral rendering.
The world's health out of tune: Weak
lungs and the atmosphere in collision, dis
ordered eye and noonday light in quarrel,
rheumatic limb and damp weather in
struggle E«mralgias and pneumonias, and
■consumptions and epilepsies in flocks
swoop upon neighborhoods and cities.
Where you find one person with sound
throat and keen eye-sight, and alert ear,
'nnd e isy respiration, and regular pulsa
tion, and supple limb, and prime digestion,
,»n,d steady nerves, you find a hundred who
hive to be very careful, because this or
that of the other physical function is dis
•ordered.
The human intellect out of tune: The
judgment wrongly swerved, or the mem
ory leaky, or the will weak, or the temper
inflannnhole, and the well-balanced mind
exceptional. Domestic life out of tune:
Ouly here and there a conjugal outbreak
'of incompatibility of temper through the
dlrtU'ce eeurts or filial outbreak about a
er’s will through the surrogate’s
court, or a case of wife-beating or hus-
through criminal courts,
4>nt- thousands of families with June
outside and January within. Society out
of tune; Labor and capital, their hands on
each other's throat. Spirit of caste keep
ing down in the social scale in a
struggle to’get up, and putting those who
arp up in anxiety lest they have to come
down. No wonder the old piano-forte of
society is all out of tune, when hypocrisy,
**d lying, and subterfuge, and double
dealing, and sycophancy, and charlatan
ism, and revenge have for six thousand
years been banging away at the keys and
stamping tke pedals.
On all sides there is a perpetual ship
wreck of harmonies. Nations in discord.
'WtMiout realizing it, so wrong is the feel
tug of nation for nation that the symhols
cho'sen arc tierce and destructive. In this
cou Ury, where our skies are full of robins,
aud doves, and morning larks, we have
our national symbol, the fierce and filthy
eag,e, as immoral a bird as can be found
to jill the ornithological catalogues. In
•Gre*t Britain, where they have lambs and
fallow deer, their symbol is the merciless
lion. In Russia, where from between her
frozen North and blooming South aii kindly
beasts dwell, they chose the growling bear;
and in the world’s heraldry a favor
ite figure is the dragon, which is a winged
serpent, ferocious and deathful. And so
fond is the world of contention that we
olimb out through the heave is and baptize
one of the othbr planets with the spirit of
battle, and call it Mars, after the god of
war, and wo give to the eighth sign of
the zodiac the name of the scorpion, a
creature which is chiefly celebrated for
its deadly sting. But, after all, these
symbols are expressive of the way nation
ieels toward nation. Discord wide as
the continent and bridging the seas. I
suppose you have noticed how warmly
in love dry-goods s. ires are with
other dry-goods stores and how highly
grocerymen think of the sugars of the
grocerymen on the same block. And in
is hat. a eulogistic way allopathic and
'homeopathic doctors speak of each other,
*nd how ministers will sometimes put
ministers on that beautiful cooking lnstru
ment which the English call a spit, an iron
roller with spikes on it, and turxed by a
crank before a hot fire, and then if the min
ister being roasted cries cut against it, the
men who are turning him say: “Hush,
brother! wo are turning this spit for the
glory of God and the good of your soul,
and yon must be quiet while we close the
service with:
** “Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love.’ ”
The earth is diametered and circumfer
cneed with discord, and the music that
was rendered at the laying of the world’s
corner-stone, when the morning stars sang
together, is not heard now; and though
here and there, from this and that part of
society, and from this and that part of the
earth, there comes up a thrilling solo of
love, or a warble of worship, or a sweet
duet of patience, they are drowned out by
a discord that shakes the earth.
Paul says: “The whole creation groan
eth,” and while the nightingale, and the
woodlark, and the canary, and the plover
sometimes sing so sweetly that their notes
have been written out in musical notation,
and it is found that the cuckoo sings in the
key of D, and that the cormorant is a basso
in the winged choir, yet sportsman’s gun and
the autumnal blast often leave them ruffled
and bleeding, or dead in meadow or forest/
Paul was right, for the groan in nature
drowns out the prime donne of the sky.
Tartini, the great musical composer,
dreamed one night that he made a contract
with Satan, the latter to be ever in the
composer’s service. But ono night he
handed to Satan a violin, on which Diab
olus played such sweet music that
the composer was awakened by the
emotion and tried to reproduce the
sounds, and therefrom was written
Tartiui’s most famous piece, entitled the
“The Devil’s Sonata,” a dream ingenius
but faulty, for all melody descends from
Heaven and only discords ascend from
hell. All hatreds, feuds, controversies,
backbitings and revenges are the devil’s
sonata, are diabolical fugue, are demoniac
phantasy, are grand march of doom, are
allegro of perdition.
But if in this world things in general are
out of tune to oar frail ear, how ftvuch
more so to ears angelic and deific! It takes
a skilled artist fully to appreciate disa
greement of sound. Many have no ca
pacity to detect a defect of musical execu
tion, and, though there were in one bar as
many offenses against harmony as could
crowd in between the lower Fof the bass
and the higher Gof the soprano, it would
give them no discomfort, while on
the forehead of the educated artist
beads of perspiration would stand out
as a result of the harrowing dissonance.
While an amateur was performing on a
piano, and had just struck the wrong
chord, John Sebastian Batch, the immortal
composer, entered the room, and the ama
teur rose in embarrassment, and Bach
rushed past the host, who stepped forward
to greet him, and,before the key-board had
stopped vibrating, put his adroit hand upon
the keys and changed the painful inhar
mony into glorious cadence. Then Bach
turned and gave salutation to the host who
had invited him.
But the worst of al! discords is moral
discord. If society and the world are
painfully discordant to imperfect man,
what must they he to a perfect God? Peo
ple try to define what sin is. It seems to
me that sin is gcttifpb o nt of harmony with
God,' a disagreement with His holiness,
with His purity, with His love, with His
commands, our will clushiug with His- will,
tbo finito dashing against the iufiuite, the
frail against the puissant, the created
against the Creator. If a thousand musi
cians, with flute and cornet-a-piston,
and trumpet, and violoncello, and
hautbois, and trombone, and all the
wind and stringed instruments
that ever gathered in a Dussel
dorf jubileesbouid resolve that they would
play out of tune and put concord to the
rack, and make the place wild with shriek
ing, and grating and rasping sounds, they
could not make such a pan lemonium as
that which rages in a sinful soul when
God listens to the play of its thougiits, pas
sions and emotions—discord, lifelong dis
cord, maddening discord. Tbe world pays
more for discord than it does for con
sonance. High prices have been paid
for music. One man gave two hun
dred and twenty-five dollars to hear
the Swedish songstress in New York,
and another six hundred and twenty-five
dollars to hear her in Boston, and an
other six hundred and fifty dollars to hear
her in Providence. Fabulous prices have
been paid for sweet sounds, but far more
has been paid for discord. The Crimean war
cost one billion seven hundred million dol
lars, and our American civil war over nine
and a halt billion dollars, and tbe war
debts of professed Christian nations are
about fifteen billion dollars. The world
pays for this red ticket, which admits it to
the saturnalia of broken bones and death
agonies, and destroyed cities, and plowed
graves, and crushed hearts, any amount of
money Satan asks. Discord ! Discord !
But 1 have to tell you that the song that
the morning stars sang together, at the
laying of tne world’s corner stone, is to be
resumed again. Mozart’s greatest over
ture was composed oii|' night when he
was several times oxbrpowered with
sleep, and artists say irW*' can tell the
places in the music where he was falling
asleep,and the places where he awakened.
So the overture of the morning stars,
spoken of in my text, has been asleep,
but it will awaken and be more
grandly rendered by the evening stars of
the world’s existence than by the morning
stars, and the vespers will be sweeter
than the matins. The work of all good
men and women, and of all good churches,
and all reform associations, is to bring the
race back to the original harmony. The
rebellious heart to be attuned, social life
to be attuned, internationality to be at
tuned, hemispheres to be attuned. But by
what force and in what, way?
In oiden time the choristers had a tuning
fork with two prongs, and they would
strike it on the back of a pew or music
rack and put it to the ear, and then start
the tune and all the other voices would
join. In modern orchestra ' the leader
nas a complete instrument, rightly at
tuned, and he sounds that and all the
Tther performers turn the keys of their
instruments to rtiake them correspond, and
sound tiie bow over the string and listen,
and sound out over again until the keys
are screwed to concert pitch and the dis
cords melt into one great symphony, and
the curtain hoists and the baton taps, and
! audiences are raptured with Schumann’s
“Paradise and the Peri,” or Rossini’s
“Stabat Mater,” or Bach’s “Magnificat,”
in D, or Gounod’s “Redemption.”
Now, out whrld can never be attuned by
an imperfect instrument. Even a Cremona
would not do. Heaven has ordained the
only instrument, and it is made out of the
woed of the cross, and the voices that ac
company it imported voices, uta
trices of the first Christmas nignt, when
Heaven serenaded the earth with: “Glory
to God in the highest and on earth peace,
good-will to men.” Lest we start too far
off, and get lost in generalities, we had
better begin with ourselves, get our own
hearts and life in harmony with the eternal
Christ. Oh, for His almighty spirit to
attune us, to chord our will with His will,
to modulate our life with His life, and
bring us into unison with all that is pure,
and self-sacrificing and heavenly. The
strings of our nature are all broken and
twisted, and the bow is so slack it can not
evoke any thing mellifluous. The instru
ment made for Heaven to play on has been
roughly twanged and struck by influences
worldly and demoniac. O, master hand of
Christ, restore this split, and fractured,
and despoiled, and unstrung nature until
first it sfiail wail out for our sin and then
thrill with divine pardon.
The whole world must also be attuned
by the same power. A few days ago I was
in a great factory, six hundred hands, and
they have never had a strike. Complete
harmony between labor and capital, the
operatives of scores of years in their beau
tiful homes near by the mansions of the
manufacturers,whose invention and Chris
tian behavior made the great enterprise.
So nil the world over labor and capital will
be brought into euphony. You may have
heard what is called the “Anvil Chorus,”
composed by Verdi, a tune played by
hammers, great and small, now with
mighty stroke, aud now with heavy
stroke, beating a great iron anvil. That is
what the world has got to come to —anvil
chorus, yard-stick chorus, shuttle chorus,
trowel chorus, crowbar chorus, pick-axe
chorus, gold-mine chorus,rail-track chorus,
locomotive chorus. It can be done, and it
will be done. So all social life will be at
tuned by the gospel harp. There will be
as many classes in society as now, but the
classes will not be regulated by birth, or
wealth, or but by the scale of vir
tue and benevolence, and people will be
assigned to their places as good, or very
good, or most excellent. So, also, com
mercial life will be attuned, and
there will be twelve in every dozen,
and sixteen ounces in every pound,
aud apples at the bottom of the barrel will
be as sound as those on the top, and silk
goods will not be cotton, and sellers will
not have to charge honest people more
than the right price because others will
not pay, and goods will come to you corre
sponding with the sample by which you
purchased them, and coffee will not be
chieoried, and sugar will not be sanded,
and milk will not be chalked, ao-'i adulter
ation of food will be a State’s prlsja of
fense. Aye, all things shall be attuned.
Elections in England and the United States
will no more be a grand carnival of defam
ation and scurrillity, but the elevation of
righteous men in a righteous way.
In the sixteenth century the singers
called the Fischer Brothers reached the
lowest, bass ever reached, and the highest
note ever thrilled was by La Bastardella,
and Catalini’s voice had a compass of three
and a half octaves; but Christianity is
more wonderful; for it runs all up and
down the greatest heights aud tho deepest
depths of the world’s necessity, and it will
compass every thing and bring it in accord
with the song which the morning stars
sang at the laying of the world’s corner
stone. All the sacred music in homes, aud
concert halls and churches tends toward
this consummation. Make it more and
more hearty. Sing in your families. Sing
in your places of business. If we with
proper spirit use these faculties, we are
rehearsing for the skies.
Heaven is to have a new song, an entire
ly new song; but I should not wonder if
as some time on earth a tunc is fashioned
out of many it is one tunc with
the VEttiathnui, so of the songs of the
them the songs of earth, and how thrilling
as coining through the great anthem of
the saved, accompanied by harpers with
their harps and trumpaters with their
trumpets, we should hear scfcie of
the strains of Antioch, and Mount P|?gah,
and Coronation, and Lenox, and St. Mar
tin’s and Fountain, and Ariel, and Oftd Hun
dred ! How they would bring tugmind the
praying circles, anil and
the Christmas festivals, and the church
worship in which on earth we rainglf-d! I
have no idea that when we bid farewell to
earth we are to bid farewell to all these
grand old Gospel hymtw, which melted and
raptured our souls for so many years. Now,
my friends, if sin is discord and righteous
ness is harmony, let us get out of the one
and enter the other. After
our dreadful civil war was over, and in
the summer of IS(>9 a great national peace
jubilee was held in Boston, and as an elder
of this church had been honored by the se
lection of some of his music, to be rendered
on that occasion, I accompanied him to the
jubilee. Forty thousand people sat and
stood in the great Coliseum erected for that
purpose. Thousands of wind and stringed
instruments. Twelve thousand trained
voices. The masterpieces of all ages ren
dered, hour after hour, and day after day
—Handel’s “Judas Maccabteus,” Spohr’s
“Last Judgment,” Beethoven’s “Mount
of Olives,” Haydn’s “Creation,” Mendels
sohn’s “Elijah,” Meyerbeer’s “Coronation
March,” rolling up and up in surges that
billowed against the heavens. The mighty
cadences within were accompanied on
the outside by tiie ringing of the bells of
the city and cannon on the commons, in
exact time with the music discharged by
electricity, thundering their awful bars of
a harmony that astounded all nations.
Some times I bowed my head and wept.
Some times 1 stood up in the enchantment,
and some times the effect was so overpow
ering 1 felt I could not endure it. When
all the voices were in full chorus,
and all die batons in full wave, and
all the orchestra in full triumph, and a
hundred anvils under mighty hammers
were in full clang, and all the towers of
the city rolled in their majestic sweetness,
and the whole building quaked with the
boom of thirty cannon, Parepa Rosa, witha
voice that will never again be equaled on
eayth until the archangelic voice proclaims
that tim ■ shall be no longer, rose above all
other sounds in tier rendering of our Na
tional air, “L’hc Star-Spangled Banner.”
It was too much for a mortal, and quite
enough for an immortal, to hear, and while
some fainted, one womanly spirit, released
under its power, sped away to be with
God.
The duty of looking up, with loving
honor, to those who have age and wisdom,
because of what they are, is not always
borne in mind as it should be by the young.
On the other hand, the duty of looking
d’ •wu with loving honor upon the young,
because of what they are to become, is not
always borne In mind by the older ones, as
it should be. Yet the young who are w
will honor the old and the old who are wise
will Jjpnor tbe young; for both young and
old have their mission, in the plan of God,
and they deserve honor accordingly in their
several spheres as God’s representatives.

MEN WHO WIN.
Five Hundred Dollars Thrown Away— His
Aim Was Success.
A good healthy body is almost sure to be
found associated with a good conscience.
A close student of human nature is rarely
willing to place large matters of trust in the
hands of another, until he has seen the one
whom he is to trust. He looks for the fresh
health and vigor, the honest, frank counte
nance and manly form, and, in fact, all that is
attractive in men. He doubts the dyspeptic
with sallow skin, drawn-out features, the
evident weak and irritable nature. He feels
as Shakespeare makes Julius Caesar say:
“Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-hoaded men, and such as sleep o’nighta;
Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous!”
He does not doubt the honesty of the poor
unfortunate, but he fears disease of the
body will affect the mind, bring misfortuae
upon the individual, and loss to himself.
It may be injustice to the weak, but if the
man has not mental strength, or if he is
wrapped up in his misery, he can not take
in the situation of tho world, does not see
that ideas are broadening and that isms and
teachings are advancing I How can an em
ployer hope for success from such a man ?
The dyspeptic look, tho wax-like complexion
and sallow features show disease. The
far-seeing man notes all these signs, and
knows that the great light of man, the
brain, is affected, or will be, at no distant
day.
He discards tho poor victim of disease
who goes wearily out into the world. Dis
couraged at last, he takes to his sickbed.
He seeks medical aid. Lacking the broad
ideas of tho successful man of the world,
he tries the same medical treatment that he
has tried many times before. The same
bigoted counsel is sought, the same drugs
are administered by the same old family
friend that treated him months and years
before, and his parents before him, and in
such a way he drags out his miserable, un
successful existence.
Is he to blame! Why not? When he sees
daily, and hears from every side, proclama
tions of a remedy known as Warner’s safe
cure, which is becoming more popular daily,
hourly, while he is becoming weaker.
J. A. Gettys, insurance agent of Chilli
cothe, Ohio, suffered for nearly three years
with dyspepsia in its worst forms, having
periodical spells of vertigo, fainting and
chills. He wrote over his own signature:
“I spent &500, had the best medical attend
ance, tried all the remedies recommended
without success, until I was induced to try
Warner’s safe cure. I used three bottles,
have gained twenty pounds and feel like a
new man.”
Such a man as we have described, nine
times out of ten, unconsciously to himself
or to his physician, has a kidney disorder,
which is fast wasting his body and life. He
sees the merits of Warner's safe cure at
every turn, and hears it proclaimed from
the house tops, and yet he does not use it,
because it is said by'liis illiberal physician
that it is not professional, and not admitted
by the code. Meanwhile the man of the
world presses forward, cares not a fig for
this or that school; his aim in life is suo
cess, and he looks hopefully forward to the
world beyond, believing and trusting in
man in this world, and to his faith for the
world beyond.

Catarrh
May affect any portion of the •>

head is by far the most common, and, strange,, o
say, the most liable to be neglected. It originates
in a cold, or succession of colds, combined with
impure blood. Tbe wonderful success Hood’*
Sarsaparilla has had In curing catarrh warrants us
in urging all who suffer with this disease to try tha
peculiar medicine. It renovates and invigurate*
the blood, and tones every organ.
"1 have been troubled with that annoying dis
ease, nasal catarrh, and have taken all kinds of
blood puriflers, but never found relief till 1 used
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which I am confident will do
all that is claimed. Hurrah for Hood’s Sarsapa
rllla!” J. L. RotTTT, Marksburg, Kv.
"I have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla for catarrh
and it has done me a great deal of good. 1 recom
mend it to all within my reach. Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla has been worth everything to me.” Luiaca

"you?
Do you feel dull, languid, low-spirited, life
less, and iudescribaoly miserable, both physi
cally and mentally.’ experience a sense of
fullness or bloating after eating, or of “gone
ness,” or emptiness of stomach in tho morn
ing, tongue coated, hitter or bad taste in
mouth, irregular appetite, dizziness, frequent
headaches, blurred eyesight, “floating specks”
before the eyes, nervous prostration or ex
haustion, irritability of temper, hot flushes,
alternating with chilly sensations, sharp,
biting, transient pains here and there, cold
feet, drowsiness after meals, wakefulness, or
disturbed and unrefreshing sleep, constant,
indescribable feeling of dread, or of impend
ing calamity?
If you have all, or any considerable number
of these symptoms, you are suffering from
that most common of American maladies—
Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated
with Dyspepsia, or Indigestion. The more
complicated your disease has become, tho
greater the number and diversity of symp
toms. No matter what stage it has reached.
Dr. Fierce’sllolden medical Discovery
will subdue it, if taken according to direc
tions for a reasonable length of time. If not
cured, complications multiply and Consump
tion of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease,
Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave
maladies are quite liable to set in and, sooner
or later, induce a fatal termination.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden medical Dis
covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and
through that groat blood-purifying organ,
cleanses the system of all blood-taints and im
purities, from whatever cause arising. It is
equally efficacious in acting upon tho Kid
neys, und other excretory organs, cleansing,
strengthening, and healing their diseases. As
an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promote*
digestion and nutrition, thereby building up
both flesh and strength. In malarial districts,
this wonderful medicine has gained great
celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and
Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseuses.
Dr. Pierce’* Goldeu medical Dis
covery

Scaly or Rough Skin, in short, all diseases

cine. Great Eating Ulcers rapidly heal under
its benign influence. Especially has it mani
fested its potency in curing Tetter, Eez<‘ma,
Erysipelas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Scrof
ulous Sores and Swellings, Hip-joint Disease,
“ White Swellings,” Goitre, or Thick Neck,

CONSUMPTION,
which is Scrofula of the Lungs, is arrested
and cured by this remedy, if taken in tho
earlier stages of the disease. From its mar
velous power over this terribly fatal disease,
when first offering this now world-famed rem
edy to the public, Dr. Pierce thought seriously
of calling it his “Consumption Cure,” km
abandoned that name its too restrictive for
a medicine which, from its wonderful com
bination of topic, of .strengthening, alterative,
or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, pectoral, and
nutritive properties, is unequaled, not only
as a remedy for Consumption, but for all
Chronic Diseases of the
Liver, Blood, and Lungs.
For Weak Liinxs, Spitting of BlooJ. Short
ness of Breath, Chronic Nasal Caturrh, Bron
“hitis. Asthma, Severe Coughs, and kindred
Ufoetions, it is an efficient remedy.
