MUSIC FIRST OF ALL. i THE BEST OF THE INDOOR RECREATIONS. j But Rev. Dr. Talmas? Favor* All Intioc?ot Sports?IIe Shows, However, That They Are Not a Fit Foundation For Soul Building. Washington*, March 20.?In his ser| raon today JD:. Talinago discussed a ^ subject of universal interest?viz, "Our Social Recreations." His text was chosen from I Corinthians vii, 31, "They that uso this world as not abusing it." i Judges xvi, 2d : "And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they I said, call for tiamscn, that ho may make us sport." Tkero were 3,000 peoplo assembled in the temple of Dagon. Thc-y had come to make sport of eyeless Samson. They were all ready for the entertainment. They began to clap and pound, impa tient for the amusement to begin, and they ciiod, "Fetch liim out, fetch him ont!" Yonder I see the blind old giant coming, led by tho hand of a child into the very midst of the temple. At his hrst appearance there goes up a shout of laughter and derision. Tho blind old giant pretends he is tired, and wants to rest himself against tho pillars of the house. So he says to tho lad who leads him, "Show mo where tho main pillars are!" Tho lad docs so. Then the strong man puts his right hand oil one pillar and his left hand on another pillar, and I with tho mightiest push that mortal ' ever made, throws himself forward until tho whole houso conies down in thunderous crash, grinding the audience like grapes in a winepress. "And so 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 lie made them sport." In other words, there are amusements that are destructive, and bring down disaster and death upon tho heads of those who practice them, wime they laugh and cheer, they die The 3,000 who perished that day ih Gaza, are as nothing compared to the tens of thous- j auds who have been destroyed by sinful amusements. For rs?, Not Abnse. But my iirst text implies that there is j a lawful use of the world, as well as an i unlawful abuse cf it, and the difference J between the man Christian and the man I un-Cbristian is that in the former case 9 I the man masters the world, w hile in tho j latter case the world masters him. Tor j whom did God make this grand and I beautiful world? For whom this wou' } derful expenditure of color, this gracefulness of line, this mosaic of the | ground, this fresco cf the sky, thisglowj ing fruitago cf orchard and vineyard, j this full orchestra cf the tempest, in . ; which tho tree branches flute, and the ' winds trumpet, and the thunders drum, I and all tho splendors of earth and sky eoroeclashinu their cvnibals! For whom J did God spring tho arched bridgo of coll ors resting upon buttresses of broken ; storm cloud? For whom did he gather J the upholstery cf fire around tho winj dow of tho setting sun? For all men, j but moro especially for his own dear I children. tl 1 If you build a large mansion and j spread a great feast after it to celebrate i I the completion of tho structure, do you a j allow strangers to come in and occupy j the place, while you thrust your own i children in tho kitchen, or the barn, or j tho fields? Oh, no! You say, "I am very _ i glad to see strangers in my mansion, but a ! my own sons and daughters shall have t ^ the first right there." Now, God has ;> | built this grand mansion of a woi Id, and ?y j ho has spread a glorious feast in it, and p | while those who are strangers to his ^ 1 grace may como in, I think that God csp ! peciuiiy intends to give the advantage to | his own children?theso who are tho i> sous and daughters of the Lord Al?> 1 ^\ nr\ f?n-i a j look up and say, "Abba, Father." You ~ ; cannot make me believe that God gives | a ! more advantages to the world than ho j ;J gives to tho church bought by his own j - : blood. If, therefore, people of the world j 7 | have looked with dolorous sympathy \ _1 j upon those who make profession of re- j v j ligioa ;u'.l have said: "Those new con- j ? ! verts are going down into privation and j i> i into hardship. Why did they not tarry a | ~ ! liitie longer in the world and have some - ; of its enjoyments ami amusements and j | ! recreations?'' I say to such men of tho J a j world, "You are greatly mistaken," aud j ? j before I per through I will show that t> ! those people who stay out of tho kingP . dem ox God have the haiuships and self P denials, while those v.ho conio in have ? the joys and satisfactions. _ : In tho 1:ame < f the King of heaven P j and earth I servo a writ of ejectment - upon all tho sinful and polluted who j have squatted on the domain cf earthly " j pleasure as though it belonged to them. ~ I while I claim in behalf of the good and n j the poor and the true, the eternal inn { hciitance which God has given them, j Hitherto, Christian philanthropists, j clerical and lay, have busied themselves chiefly in denouncing sinful recreations, r- but I feel wc have no right to stand l-efore men and women in whoso hearts there is a desire for rccieatiun amounting to positive necessity, denouncing id j this and that and the other thing, when f', we do cot propose to give them somes'. thing better. God helping me and with ,j j reference to my last account, I shall t-nw i ter upon a sphere not usual in sermon? | iziug, but a subject which I think ought i to be presented at this time. 1 propose ! now to lay before you some of the rec^ rent ions which are not only innocent, - : but positively helpful and advantageous. ? | The C'iiurms of 3?as!c. In the lirst place, I commend, among 1 indoor recreations, music?vocal and in} strumeutal. Among the lirst things i created was the bird, so that the earth ! might have music at the start. This | world, which began with j>o sweet a i serenade, is tin ally to be demoli.-hed 3 amid the ri.ifing blast of the archangel's I,- so i hut as there was music at s, i it j Cure or Headache. As a remedy for all forms of Ibndache Kite;tic Hitters has proved to bo the very best. It effects a perma| nent cure ami the most dreaded " ; habitual s:ck headaches \ield to its | inlloence.

Millions of us sutler from indigestion, but we often don't know it. We think it is something dse. Even doctors often mistake the symptoms. Pale, thin people, who are ovcr: worked, who need strength, who seem j in want of proper food, should take j Shaker Digestive Cordial. It is astouishiug wiiat iooa win ao, wnen properly digested.

L | the start there shall be music at the I fl(ivp Whila this hwavenlv art has often been dragged into the uses of superstition and dissipation, we all know it may be tho means of high moral culture. Oh, it is a grand thing to have our children brought up amid tho sound | of cultured voices and amid tho melody of musical instruments, j There is in this art an indescribable I fascination for the household. Let all j those families who have tho means to j afford it have flute or harp or piano or i organ. As soon as the hand is large j enough to compass the keys teach it j how to pick out tho melody. Let all our I young men try this heavenly art upon j their nature. Those who havo gone into ! it fxslly have found in it illimitable roc! reation and amusement. Dark days, I stormy nights, seasons cf sickness, busiI nose disasters, will do little toward depressing tho soul which can gallop ofT | over musical keys or soar in jubilant j lay. It will cure pain. It will rest fai tigue. It will quell passion. It will re| vivo health. It will reclaim dissipation, j It will strengthen the immortal soul In I tho battle cf Waterloo, Wellington saw ! that tho high landers were falling back. He said, "What is the matter there?" Ho was told that the baud of music had ceased playing, and he called up the pipers and ordered them to strike up an inspiriting air, and no sooner did they strike the air than the Highlanders were rallied and helped to win the day. Oh, ye who have been routed in tho conflicts of life, try by the force of music to rally your scattered battalions. I am glad to know that in our great cities there is hardly a night in which | there aie not concerts, where, with the best musical instruments and tho sweetest voices, people may find entertainment. Patronize such entertainments when they are afforded you. Buy season tickets, if you can, for the Philharmonic and tho IJandcl and Haydn societies. Feel that the $1.50 or $2 that you spend for the purpose of hearing an artist play or sing is a profitable investment. Let ycur Academies of Music roar with the acclamation of appreciative audiences assembled at tho concert or tho oratorio. A Souml Body. Still further, I commend, as worthy cf their support, the gymnasium. This fnvnr pv,ht J i i? %. iv.'xi i o -** v. v year, and I know of nothing moro free from dissipation or more calculated to recuperate the physical and mental energies. While there are a good many people who have employed this institution thero is a vast number who are ignorant of its excellencies. There are mot with cramped chests and weak sides and despondent spirits who through the gymnasium might be roused up to exuberance and exhilaration of life. Thero are many Christian people despondent from year to year who might through such an institution be benefited in their spiritual relations. There are Christian people who seem to think that it is a good sign to bo poorly, and Lecauso Richard Baxter and Robert Hall were invalids they thiuir that by the sauie sickliness they may come to the same grandeur of character. I want to tell the Christian people of my cougreI gat ion that God will hold you responsible fur your invalidism if it is your fault and when, through right exercise and prudence, you might be athletic cud well. The effect of the body upon the soul you acknowledge. Put a man i of mild disposition upon the animal ; diet cf which the Indian partakes, and I in a little while his blood will change i its chemical proportions. It will become : like unio the blood of the lion or the tiger or the bear, while his disposition | will change and become fierce ami unj releh'ing. The body has a powerful ef; feet upon the soul. There are ccod people whose ideas of heaven arc* ail shut out "with clouds of tobacco smoke. There axe people who dare to shatter the physical vase in | which Gcd has put the je wel of eternity. ! There are men with great hearts and in! tellects in bodies worn out by their ; own neglects?magnificent machinery, ; capable of propelling a Majestic across : the Atlantic, yet fastened in a rickety j North liver propeller. Martin Luther j was so mighty fur God, first, because he I had a noble soul, and, secondly, because 1 he laid a muscular development which I would have enabled him to thrash any ' five of his persecutors if it had been j Christian so to do. Physical develop* : ment which merely shows itself in fabu! lous lifting, or in perilous rope walk* j ing, or in pugilistic encounter, excites j only cur contempt, but wo confess to great admiration for the man who lias a j great soul in r.n athletic body, every : nerve, muscle and bone of which is con* | seer a ted to right uses. Oh, it seems to IkiC VUl ItiUi U1\XJ, vw*vu^?? ?'VD lect, should allow their physical health to so down beyond repair?a ship which ; ought, with all sail .jet and every man i at his post, to be carrying a rich cargo for eternity, employing r. 11 its men in stopping up leakages. When you may, , through the gymnasium, work of! your spleen and your quorulou.-ness and onehalf of your physical and mental ailments, do not turn your back upon such a grand medicament. Innocent Hilarities. Still further, 1 commend to yon a largo class of parlor gurms and recreations. There is a way f making our homes a hundredfold more attractive than they are now. Those parents cannot expect to keep their children away from outside dissipations units-; they L ^ j make tlie domestic circle brighter than anything tiny can lin?i outside of it. Do not, thou, pit in yonr home surly aud unsympathetic and with u half condemnatory look because of tho spnrtfulness of your children. Yuu were young once yourself; let your children be young. Because your eyes are dim and your ankles are stiff do not denounce 6portfulness in those npou whose eyes there is the first luster and in whose foot there is the bounding joy of robust health. I thank Uod that in our drawing rooms and in our parlors there are innumerable games and sports which j have not upon them the least taint of ' . iniquity. ' ' Light up all your homes with inuocent hilarities. Do not sit down with tho rheumatism, wondering how children can go on so. Rather thank (tod ; that their hearts are &o light, and their laughter is so fiec, and their cheeks nro i bo ruddy, and that their expectations . j are eo radiant. The night will come soou enough, and tho heartbreak and the pang and the desolation?it will i coruo soon enough for the dear children. But when the storm actually clouds the eky it will be time enough for you to haul out your reef tackles. Carry, then, I into your homes not only the innocent sports and games which are the inventions of our own day, but the games which como down with the sportfnines* of all tho past ages?chess and charades and tableaux and battledoor and calis- ! thcnics and lawn tennis and all those i amusements which tho young people of | our homes know go well how to con- j trive. Then there will be the parlor so- i cialities?groups of people assembled in j your homes, with wit and mimicry and j joviality, filling the room with joy from , door to mantel and from the carpet to | , the ceiling. Oh, is there any exhilara- j tion like a score of genial souls in ono t room, each ono adding a contribution of ' ( his own individual merriment to tho j aggregation ol general hilarity? ^ Suppose 3'oa want to go abroad in the ( city; then yon will find tho panorama . and the art gallery and tho exquisite col lections of pictures. You will find tho 1 i inuFoum and tho historical society rooms ( full of rare curiosities, and scores of 1 places which can stand plainly the test , of what is right and wrong in amuse- j , nients. You will find the lecturing hall, ; j which has been honored by the names j . of Agassi 2 in natural history, Doremns : j in chemistry, Boyntoa iu geology, Alitch- J , ell iu astronomy, John B. Gough in ! . moral reform, and scores and hundreds 1 j of men who have poured their wit and j genius and ingenuity through that particular channel upon the hearts and con- j sciences and imaginations of men, set- ! j ting this country 50 ye:irs farther in ad- i , vanco than it would have bean without ( the lecture platform. \ 1 Outdoor Sports. : ^ I rejoice in the popularization of out- j door sports. I hail the croquet ground and the fisherman's rod and the sports- ] man's gun. In our cities life is so uu- j healthy and unnatural that when the j , census taker represents a city as having . 400,000 inhabitants there are only , 200,000, since it takes at least two men < to amount to one man, so depleting and f unnerving and exhausting is this met- ? ropolitan life. We want more fresh air, ( more sunlight, more of the abandon of } Cold sports. I cry out for it in behalf , of the church of (aod as well as in bo- | half of secular interests. I wish that , our ponds and our rivers and our capi ] toline grounds might bo all aquuke with ] the heel and the shout of the swift ( skater. I wish that when the warm } weather comes the graceful oar might , , ! dip tho stream and the evening lido bo ( | resonant with boatman's song, the ( | bright prow splitting tho crystalline bil- t i low. , Wc shall have tho smooth and grassy , i lawn, and wo will call out people of all j l occupations and professions and a:k . j them to join in tho ball player's sport. , j You will come back from these outdoor < ! eAMCJSVS iixxw imcctuuia ?JIXJ siiv.u?iu , ! in your arm andeolor in your cheek and a flash in your eye and courage in your heart. In this great buttle that is opening against thy kingdom of darkness ) we want nut only a consecrated soul, ; but a strong arm and stout lungs and ' mighty muscle. I bless God that there ; are so many recreations that have not j on them any taint of iniquity, itcrea! tions m which we may engage for the J strengthening of the body, fur the cleari ing of the intellect, for the illumination j of the soul. I There is still another form of recrea| lion which I commend to you, and that i is the pleasure of doing good. I have ! seen young men, weak and cross and j tour and repelling in their dispo.-itiou, j who by one heavenly touch have v.akcuj ed up and become blessed and buoyant, the ground under their feet and the sky ! over their Leads breaking lurtn into . ! music. "Oh," says some young man in | j the house today, "I should like that rocj reation above all others, but I have not I the means." Mv dear brother, let ns ^ take an account of stock. You havo a large estate it you only realize it. Two bauds, two feet. You will have per- ] ! haps during the next year at least ?10 , for charitable contribution. You will } j have 2,'jVO cheerful looks if you want ( j to employ theiu. You v. ill have 5,000 | pleasant words if you want to speak i them. Now, what an amount that is to < | start with ! 1 j You go out tomorrow morning, and 3 | you see a ca-e of leal destitution by the ] I wayside. You give him ~ cento. The i | blind man hears the pennies rattle in ! his liar, and he says, "Thank you, sir; i God bless you!" You pass down the street, trying to look inditlerenr, but 1 . you fc-el fioin the very depth of your , soul a profound sati.-taction that you j made that man happy. You go on still | farther and liud a poor boy with a * j wheelbarrow, trying to p t it up on the curbstone He fails in the attempt. You say, "ctand back, my lad; let me try." I You pu.-h it up 011 the curbstone for j hiin and pa.-s ou. He wonders who that j well dressed man was that helped him. i Y'ou did a kindness tu the boy, but you j uiti a groat joy to your own soul.

"We never allow any one to f come out, for ho would bring the conta- ? giuu." Then they made their wills an 1 f went in, first to help the sick and then ] to die. Which was the happier?Colo- t Liel Gardiner or the Moravian mission- [ arie3 dying for others? Was it all sacrifice when tho missionaries wanted to ; bring the gospel to the negroes at the Barbados, and, being denied the privi tege, soin uiemscivts mio slavery, hwuiuing side by side and lying side by side down in tbe very ditch of suffering, in jrder that they might bring those men tip to life and God and heaven? Oh, there is a thrill in the joy of doing good' It is tho most magnificent recreation to ( which a man ever put his hand or his ( head or his heart. But before closing I want to impress ] pou yon that mero secnlar entertain- ( meats are not a fit foundation for your , soul to build on. I was reading of a ; woman who had gone all the rounds of , inful amusement, and she came to die. \ she said, "I will die tonight at G ^ 3'clcck." "Oh," they said, "I guess ] not; you don't seem to be sick." "I j shall dio at G o'clock, and my soul will ] he lost. I know it will bo lost. I have ( sinned away my day of grace." Tho | aoon came. They desired her to seek ro- j ligious counsel. "Oh," she suid, "it is ( jf no use. ^Iy day is gone. I have been ill the rounds of worldly pleasure, and it is too late. I shall die tonight at G 3'elock." Tho day woro away, and it ?anm to 4 o'clock and to 5 o'clock, and < she cried out at o o'clock: "Destroying ' spirits, yo shall not liavo nie yc-t; it is J rot 6, it is not 6!" The moments went jj, und the shadows began to gather, md the clock struck (5, and while it ' A*as striking her soul went. What hour dod will call for us I do not know? ivhetlmr (i o'clock tonight, or 3 o'clock his afternoon, or at 1 o'clock, or at this nonient. citting where you arc, falling forward, or drooping down, where will rou go to? t The last hour of cur lifo will soon be ] lore, and from that hour we will review t his day's proceedings.

I did not i lgree to the location. The six arbi- j rators did not call the other six j irbitrators.
