TALMAGE. rtlE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN. DAY SERMON. “ A Yitnilly Quarrel Settled. TgxT: Let there be no strife, I piny thee, kfiireen me and thee, and between my herds- .sand thy herdsmen. Is not the whole "„ d before thee.' Genesis -viii., 8. V. i-Qi-le and nephew -Abraham and Lo* nah riotw, b lth «*iHlonairwi: w ith flock.-. so that the herdsmen got. int > a tight, ' uate aboil’ better pasturage, or about Ctter water priv le,'e, <r the cow of one hid h oked the cow of another herd. It "m not their poverty of opportunity that hr .light these two nin int-> a differede, but r th’ir wealth of opportunity. Abra him the glorious old Bedouin sheik, saw ...'the controversy was absurd and he said ’ iz>t-for it really see i e I like two ships tn the middle of the Atlantic Ocean quarreling l t M . a room—Abraham said to Lot: "sow let us agree to differ. Here is the i .. .. otain district swept of the tonic sea ireere » ud with a far ' r «aclnnß pro.qet, •nd out yonder is the \ alley of the Jordan. With cornfields and vineyards, and tropical i. Turiance and immeasurable acreage of I " lth au <l the great river in which to water ( ..Iflo'ks. You can have either.’’ Lot, who bad not as much wealth as Abraham and might i have been expected to make the second hni’s made the first selection, and with a m.iestv that must havo brought a stnile to tbraham’s face, said: “Abraham, you can livo the rockv district and the line pros e’s and 11l take the valley of the Jordan with the cornfields and the great river in which to water the docks, aud all the tropi cal luxuriance of the vineyards. I’ll take that” So the controversy was forever set tle,! and Abraham, grnat-souled Abraham, ,-arriad out the suggestion of the text. • * Ix>t there be no strife. I pray thee, bet ween me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdstueu. Is not the whole land before ''"well, in this last quarter of the nineteenth century, and in this beautiful land called America, after Americus Vespucius, but which ought to have been called Columbus after its discoverer, Columbus, we have a vrealth of religious opp. rtunity and of ecele aiastkal advantage that, is po-itively bewil dering. So many styles of creed, so many rtvlesof worship, so many styles of church government, so many styles of architecture. What opulence of ecclesiastical opportunity. While it* desolate regions there may be only one church, and it is that or nothing, in our thickly settled districts of country there is su ch vast variety of churches and such vast varietyof creeds, one would tbiuk a man would have no difficulty in making a selec tion. let there be no war of vestments.no contest as between liturgical and noa-liturgi cal adherence, no J strife about baptismal nodes, no quarrel as to whether a handfull of water or a riverfull of water is the better. If Abraham on the heights gets only the sprinkling of the clouds, let him not begrudge hot, who has the whole river Jordan in which to iunnor.se himself. “Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and theo and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen. Is not the whole hind before thee?” Espe cially is it unfortunate when in the home cir cle there is an angry controversy across the breakfast, or the dining, or the tea table, and on the one side of tlio taule some one lavs: “I never could bear the rigid doctrines of Presbyterianism,’’ and the answer comes from tho other end of the table saying: “I never could endure the conventionalities of Episcopacy,” and from one side of the table comes: “I can’t, see how they itaud the noise in the Methodist Church, 1 ’ and from the other side there comes back the response: “AU the Baptists are bigots!” Hundreds of families have been split of ee elesiasticism, and as the dis .Mission goes on there is kindling of indignation, and it needs «oine Abraham to come out and put his foot on the lighted fuse before the explosion takes pla. e, and say: “Let there be no strife be tween mo and theennd lietwoen my herdsmen and thy herdsmen. Is not the whole land before thee?” I undertake this morning a discussion never befoie undertaken in the pulpit, because it is a very deli cate subject, and if not rightly handled might produce great offense: but £ approach the question without the slightest trepidation because I feel I have the divine direction in the matter to be proposed. It is a tremendous question, often asked with tearsand sots and heartbreaks—a question involving sometimes the [veaie of families and the salvation of immortal souls: “In matters of church attendance and in matters of religion, should the wife go with the hus band or the honsband go with the wife?” I lay the foundation for my remarks in tho fact that all denominations of Christians have in them enough truth to save the loul and fit us for happiness and for heaven. (Io with me into any well selected theological library, and I will show you sermons from all denominations of Christians setting forth the idea that man is a sinner and that Christ is the deliverer from sin and sorrow. Well, that is tho whole Gospel. Get that into your heart and your life aud you are fit for the here and the iiereafter. The world has twenty-six letters in its alphatiet, but there are only two letters in the Gospel aphabet, 8 and Ci 8 standing for man, the sinner, and C standing fur Christ, the deliv erer. Blessed be His glorious name forever. Now, in any church whore you can learn these two letters and appreciate all they stand for you ought to be edified and you ought to be happy. Then there is a differ ence between denominations of Christians, and some we like l etter than others. But suppose four or five of us should agree to inert ea h other one week from now in Chi cago <n some very important business, and one man should take the N, Y. Cen tral R, R., and another man should take the Erie, and another man should take tho Pennsylvania IL R., and another man should take the Baltimore and Ohio It. R. line because he likes the scenery on this route the better, another be cause he likes the cars,as they are more lux uriant on this route than the others, another mon takes this route be ause the train is twitter, another man lakes another route be came he knows ail the employes on that road. It makes no difference sb far as our engagement is concerned if we only get there. It makes no difference by which route we come if wo oome to the terminus and meet op’ engagement. Now. in everv denomina te of evangelical Christians, there Is enough truth to take you to heaven. Al though some denominations mav run trains on a broad guage and others may run trains on a narrow guage, still you follow the teachings of any on:> of the evangelical de nominations of Christians and you will comeout at the Grand Central Depot of the univeise—Heaven, the great metropolis of Bod on high. Now. liaving understood this, tUt a num is safe in any evangelical de nomination, I proceed to remark: First—ls in the marred couple one 1* • Christian and the other not a Christian, then it is the duty of the one who is a Chris tian to go with the one who is not a Christian to any church ureferred, if he or she will go to no other. You of the connubial partner ship are a Chri>tian. You are safe for the «ieß and your first duty then is to secure the Jternal salvation of your lifetime partner. The salvation of the wife impenitent, or the wlvatiun of the husband impenitent, Is of jnore importan e than your church worship. The residence of your companion for a JOwillion of y ars is a mightier consnlera «on than the gratification of your e •’•lesias- UCa * ta-tofor forty or fifty years. If a man or a woman halt one half a minute before surrendering a church preference when th« question of the eternal salvation of a partner h *ay if such person halt< for “*lf a minute in the consideration before ®&King the surrender, such person hasnore ~JF}i? ail, never ha-. hail, and, I fear, never k God* * n Thy creation ” there one person professing to be a ''hnstian and yet so stolid, so unthinking, 'ar gone unto death as to hesitate about a church preference before a question of salvation and Heavenly reunion! Va “*re a Christian woman and you are •ttendaut on this Brooklyn Tabernacle, and your unconverted husband will not oome here l»e-anse he doe’ not Hka its minister, or it-* ninMc. or its architecture, or it* uncom fortable cmwJin’ and ho goes to no bouse of Go*, but w< uld go if you accompanied hi n, votir first duty is to change yuur ' vlaoe of worship. Tike homo your hymn- I bo >k t-wlar, say pned-bvs to those wfi > are roar von in tho pews end vou go tn anv one I of a h ind red evangelical churches with your h isbantl until his soul is saved, and he joins vnu on th»* inarch to Heaven. That ring on the thin! finger of th » left hand is not of so much imoorta ice as that God vnur Heaveniv Father .should in the lalvat on of your bus band say in re:ari to him in the words of the old parable: “Put tberingon his hand.’’ Th©'© i ever was a letter *»f more im portance that came to the great citv iof Corinth—that oity situated on what i was called a bridge of the glistening | with smlDture and gated with a style of brass so magnificent that the following a?o< have not l»een able successfully to imitate it, overshadowed by the Acrooorinthus,a fortress of rock 2,00) feet high—l say no letter of greater importance ever came to that great citv of Corinth than the letter in which Paul put these two startling questions: “How knowest thou, oh, wife, but thou shalt save thy husband* How know ' est thou, oh, busband, but thou shalt save thy wises ’ Any sacrifice you make is cheap for salvation. Better go to the small *st church, the weakest church, the most insig ' nificant church on earth, and l>e co-partners in eternal bliss, than that you should attend I tho most gorgeously attractive church and . one of you perish outside evangelical advan tages. Better that the drowning be saved with a scow or a sloop, than that he or she should go down while vou sail past in the gilded cabins of a Hritannie or a Great Eastern. Remark the second: If both of the mar ried couple are Christians, but one is so nat urally constructed as to be severely secta rian and could not l>e happy in another than the one church or denomination preferred, then it is your duty, vou who are tlie less sec tarian and the more liberal, to go with the one who is very particular. As for myself, 1 feel about as mu h at home in one denomination as another. I have sometimes said I think I must have been l>orn near the line. I like the solemn roll of the Episcopal liturgy, and I like the spontaneity of the Methodists, and I like the importance given to baptism by the Baptists, and I like the freedom of the Congregation alists, and I like the government and the sub , lime doctrines of the Presbyterians, and I [ like a score of other denominations just as good as those 1 have mentioned, and I could live nappUy in any one of them, and preach and di;? happily, and from the sacred doors Ibe carried out to my last resting place. But some persons are born with a stout aud un bending preference for some church or some denomination,and it would be torture to them I to be anywhere else. From the very starting I it was indicate I what they were to be. and what was to be the style of their ecclesiasti cism. It was written on the side of their cradle, if father and mother hail eyesight keen enough to see it. When they cried in their infancy they could not be silenced until they had for a plaything Westminster Cate chism or the Thirty-nine Articles. Now, it would be a torture anil a misery for such person to lx in any denomination that waa outside of the one ” preferred. But yon can afford to surrender your pref erences if you have not been born with the same spirit of sectarianism. It is the duty of th" graj»evine to follow tho sinuosities of tho oak and the hick ory. It Abraham has a larger flock of Christian graces than Lot, who is built on a smaller scale, then it is Abraham’s duty to say to Lot: “Let there Im* no strife between I us, or between my herdsmen and your herd>- | men. Is not the whole land before theef 1 If j you can be happy any where, and your hus band or your wife cannot be happy ex ent .u one place, surrender your preferences, an 1 surrender them without discussion. Another remark: If both of the married couple arc equally strong in their se tarian ism aud their preferences, then go to the churches that please you be*t. You are not bound to go to the .same church. God does not demand that you do so. Religion is some thing between your conscienceaud your God. If, therefore*, on Sunday morning you came out from the front door of your house to gether, and one goes one way and the other goes the other way, heartily wish each other a good sermon and an hour of profitable devotion, and when you meet nt the noonday repast, let it be evident each to each and to ihe children and to the hired heln that you both have been on the Mount of Transfiguration, though you went up by difTerent paths, and that you have been both fed with the bread of life though it were kneaded in different trays and baked in dif ferent ovens. But I am often aske I—for I am not dis ms sing this morning an abstraction l am often asked by parents: “What about tho childen?” My reply is: “Let the children make their choice. ’ I have sometimes thought that at ten years of ago a child knows more of religion than th *e who have come on to forty, fifty, sixty or seventy years of age. We go out in the world and we get befogged with scepticisms, and we hear s > many of the* discussions of unbelief, an I our life gets so full of imperfection and so fulTof sin that I have thought, little children may know more religion than some of us who have got older. At any rate, I give you tho advice, let children choose for themselves. They will probably grow up with a rever ence for both denominations represented by you, the father and mother. And if you, the father, live the holy life they will have more reverence for your denomination, and i if you, the mother, live the holy lite, they | will have more reverence for your denomi nation; and some day you will both l>e found going to the same church and the same ser vice, and the neighbors will look out of tho windows and they will say: “Why, I won der what’s the matter with our neighbors, the husband and wife going arm and arm to I the same church? I never thought they would go to the same church. I wonder what’s the matter?” I will tell you what I is the matter. Homething very impor tant has happened. That day, the son of that family is announcing himself a Christian. That day the sou of tliat house hold is standing in the aisle to take the vow<. He hail been somewhat wayward aud had given his father and mother a good 1 anxiety: but their prayers have hem an s were! in his salvation, aud now, as he stands 1 in the church aislo, and the minister of relig ion says to him . “Do you take tho God : who made you and the God who ro- I deemed you for your eternal portion? and do you promise to serve Him all the days of your life?” and the yr.un ’ man, w it h a manly voice, says: “I do.” There is au April shower in the p-3w where father and mother sit, and a rainbow'of joy overarching everything that makes tho difference ot ‘ creeds infinitesimal. Aye, on th it very j day, the daughter of the family may put hor life on the alter of conwration. aud the sunlight coming through the church window, failing on her brow aud cheek may make her look like the other daughter whose face took on the brightness of another ; world when God took her into His Heavenly keeping years ago. Aye, I should not won der if those pa *ents spent the evening of their days in the same church, all thHr ' church preferencej overwhelmed in ths joy . of worshiping in the plaee wuere thsirsone ( and their daughters were prepare ! fur use fulness and for heaven. But 1 will give you a recipe for rulninz • your children. Angrily discus* and contend in your household about matters of religi m. ‘ and contend that your church is right and all other churches are wrong, especially the <hur h yo ir companion attend*, bring sue**r and caricature to emphasize your opin -1 ions, and your children will grow up to be ' lieve religion is a sham, and they will ’ want none of it. In the northeast storm of domestic controversy the Hose of Sharon ‘ and the Lily of sh * Valley never grow. Fight about apostolic succession: figh* ab>ut d«*3- tion and free agency; fight abo it baptism; fight about the bishopric; fifcht atx>u: go wn 1 and surplioi, and the ralig*ou< interests of k your children will be left d?ad on the fiol L You will be unfortunats as Charles, Duke of Burgundy, who in a battle 10-rt ; a diamond worth a nation, for y>u ' will in the battle about church differences in i your household/lose the prize of salvation for 1 your own entire household. Os coirje, I say T nothing against yoar advaca v of your own I liellef. That. i< right. Gather all telling illustration.,, gath.<rall rlenioostrative facta, gather all acute arguments to prove that Your theories are the right the >rieq ' but let there l>e no acerbity, uo ! stinging retort, no insinuation, no j superciliousue s. ar though yon were right aud everybody else wrong. Take a hint i from astronomy. The Ptoleniie system taught that the earth was the cent r arid the wodda I turnei around the earth. The Copernican system cams aud taught that the sun was the center, and the worlds turned around that. The bigot thinks his little b'lief is the i auu, ami he wantsove.ylhiug u> turn aiviund I him: while the large souied Christian says tho Sun of Righteousqess is tire centre Os his | theoloiiy and all ti ne and all eternity turn around it. Over the tomb of AV illiani Stan ley in Westniinstsr Abt>y is inscribed ths i passage of Scriptu'o: "Thy monument is ex ceeding broad?’ Do not, therefore, crowd us ou to a very thin path like the j the bridge over which, the Mahoainwdana I say, must g> all tho souls into glory it they get there—this bridge thinner than the web of a starved spider, thinner than the edge of a razor or sword- and over that bridge, reaching over hell into p ira iise, all must go, or not go at all, and the Mahommedans sav many fall down on that edge. While our way to Heav en is no* so wide that we can take in all our sins with us, I nm gla 1 to know it is s > large that all Christiaus of nil faiths and of ail bo- : li-fs may march in perfect safety to a glorious heaven. An abundant en trance, not crowding through, but an I abundant entrance into the kingdom | of our God. Beware, my brother, how you make a sound cr< > ed the foun tat ion of your salvation. I fear some of you that, I know very well are making that mistake. A man may own all the statutes of the State of New York and yet not be a lawyer. A man may owu all the medical treatises ever written and yet not l>n a physician. A man may own whole libraries | of works on painting and statuary and yet not bo an artist. A man may own great vol times about architecture and yet not bo an architect And a tnati may own alt the sound creeds on earth and not be a Christian. It is not what we have iu the head and on the back, but whst we hare in the heart aud iu our life that decides every- | thing. In olden times, iu Euglund, liefore tho modern strest lamp, w is invente 1. it was expo tod that every householder would hang a lantern at his front door in the night, and when the watchman at the eventide went threugh tho stoeets they cried: “Hang out v ur light, hang out your light.” Oh, brothers and sisters, instead of angrily aud excitedly dis ussiug different styles of lauterns—one liking this lantern better, another liking that lantern bettor—as a watchman on tho wall of Zion I this day cry out: “Let your light so shine before mon that others seeing your good works may glorify your Father" who is in heaven. Hang' out your light, hangout your light!” And, ulmvo all, do not, as some of you, my friends. 1 fear aro doing, excuse yourself from a ■cnoting religion because there are so many different, kinds of religionists. People sav to me: “This church believes so, aud this other church lielieves so, and 1 am completely be wildered about, the whole thing, a id so I sha'l not take this religion at all. 1 ’ Standing in Westminster Hotel, London, looking out of the window, 1 saw three clocks, nnd as near as I can t erne.uber, one was on West minster Abbey, aud another was on the Parliament House and another was on St. Margaret’s C Impel, and they were a’l differ ent, and ono clock said 12, and anoth ir clock said five minutes before 12, and another clock said five minutes after 12. : Standing there I might ju«t a: well havo said: “Well, there is no such thing as time I because the time pieces differ,” as for you to sit and stand there and say “there is nothing in religion because religionists differ and the clocks iu the church steeples are so different, ono saying ono thing I and another saying another thing. I tell vou it is about noon, it i< about 12 o’clock of the glorious day of sospa) dispensation, and there is enough light tor all—the noon lay light, how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation. But oh, tho glorious thought comes over me, that though now our families are parted in their w >rship, worshiping partly in one church aui partly in another, or, worshiping nt tho same altar, th' y have tojiaorifieetne'r'preterenaes, if we aro redeemed we aro on tho way to a oerfe -t churoh where all our preferences will be gratified. Great cathedral of eternity, with arches of amethyst aud pillars of sap phire and flours of emerald and win dows aglow with the sunset of earth and the sunrise of heaven. What wide aisles, spacious enough to allow whole em pires to enter. What. amphitheatre, with splendor above splen l.ir, gallery above gallery, princes aud princesses, kings and queens bonding over them. What st.u|>endous towers, with chimes, angel hoisted un 1 angel rung. What multitudes of worshipers, white robed and coronated. What, walls hung with shields and flags captured by church militant, now become church triumphant. What officiator at the altar, the great high priest of our profession. What doxology of nations. Cornet to cornet, cymbal to cymbal, harp to harp, organ to organ. Pull out ths tremulant stop to recall the suffering past, i Pull out tho trump it stop to celebrate the victory. When shall these eyes thy Heaven built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks with salvation strong And streets of shining gold? Uli Aii Impulsive Husband. “And do you love me well as ever, John?" the wife asked of her somewhat testy husband, after they had made up subsequent to what is usually termed “a little spat.” “Why, of course I do, aud better." “Are you sure, darling:” “Sure.' Os course 1 am. Hang it, don’t I tell you so?’’ “Yes, but you are not deceiving me?" “Certainly not. What do you xvant I to aggravate a maty for?” “I am not aggravating you." “Yes, you arc, and I tell you plainly that I love you madly, and if you ask me that question again, I’m blessed if I don't go out and stay out altogether. I love you dearly, and now just shut up or it will be worse f r you. Asking me if I love you. when I do to distraction. Get out, you idiot! You are nothing but a fool anyway." Wife subsides, highly delighted. Boston Courier. A Symptom of Lunacy. They met. “rio you are still on the invalid list?" “Alas, yes, aud I have taken gallons of medicine. ’ “perhaps you took too much medi cine.” “Well, I've tried everything. Last I summer I tried sea-bathing aud now I am trying e cctricity.” “No wonder you are in bad health after going through salt and battery." 1 And then as the awful truth dawned upon them, they Loth burst into maniac laughter nnd tied from tho scene.— Ifaneb'e-. A Delicate Compliment. “Mrs. Dearinont, of Chicago, and Mrs. ; Waldo, of Boston, arc to lunch with me to day,’ slid a lady to her husband, “but I hardly know what to give them.
