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

Food, undigested, is poison. Digested,
it is life and strength. 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

It will make you strong, revive
you, refresh you, sustain you, make
you fat, restore your color, make

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

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

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 *

say, "ctand back, my lad; let me try."
I You pu.-h it up 011 the curbstone for

A Thonght to Carry.
Colonel Gardiner, who sot with hia (
elbow on a table, spread with all extrav- 1
agant viands, looking off at a dog on }

change places with him, I be the deg j

two Moravian missionaries who wanted ^
to go into the lazaretto for the sake of
attending the sick, and they were told: *
"If you go in there, you will never (
coine out. "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

Thero has just died at Kirtomey, on
the northeast coast of Sutherland, Mrs.

was a native of Strathnaver, and was a
grown up woman when that fertile and
cnce populous strath?about 18 miles

in the second decade of this
century. She had a vivid recollection
and many stories to tell of the harrowing
scenes witnessed when old and
poung, weak and strong, were turned
cut of their homes. The people got half
an hour's notice to pack up their belongings
before the torch was applied
to the thatch of their dwellings. The
burning lusted six days, and from one

La the Editor of the Dispatch:
I am compelled to answer the j
nassive Phaiisee.
The facts are these: Mr. Dreher j
lid draw an agreement Feb. 17,1891, j
iimon Amick the first part, H. D. t
faylor the second part, agrees to ;
vitbdraw all suits or cases com- J
ncnced in law and to choose six men 1
.0 arbitrate the difficulty, or road |
n question that Amick had shut up, :
md if the said six men cannot settle j
)r locate said road, to the satisfac j
;iou of the said parties, then and in j
hat case, the said six arbitrators j
shall have the right to choose six !
Aher arbitrators, and whatever de- j
lision the twelve arbitrators shall i
uake shall be conclusive. Messrs, I ,
vant you to understand the difficulty j
s on Amick's land, not on my land, j
Hie six arbitrators were called to j
ocate tho road, I choose three un- J
nterested men, Amick choose three, {
,wo of his wife's brothers; the six j
irbitrators located the road on the t
ine of me and Amick. I did not i
lgree to the location. The six arbi- j
rators did not call the other six j
irbitrators. TLe six went and lo- j
lated a bridge in my field; two of
Ymick.s arbitrators and two of mine, j
[and other neighbors built tne bridge. j
The aibitrators located the road 1
icross Amiok's land up to John
Koon's gate. I opened a suitable !
oad on my land across the creek, j
lown to the arbitrators road, free for i
everybody to travel, as you or any \
)ne else would have done; this road j
sas been traveled for five }enrs, and j
tow Amick has blockaded the road j
)n his land where the aibitrators had ;
.ocated it. Tin re is the difficulty? j
ju Amick's laud.
The case was tried at Chapin; I j
svas the only witness sworn, but Mr. '
Droller did hour the defend int's side
by allowing Amick to show tho onlawful
arbitration paper that I did
not sign. 1 said if they said tho road
was to ?0 on tho lino it must bo so,
and it was so, but I didn't sign the
agreement. Mr. Prober didn't give
mo justice because the line and the
location of the road was not the case.
Tho case was Amiek obstructing the
other end of the road. Tho warrant
that Mr. Prober is holding against tho
Amicks is not law, as Mr. Prober
very we 1 knows. The Solicitor says
the Amicks are subject to bo arrested
at any day.
I did not ask Mr. Prober to go out
of his jurisdiction. 1 asked him for
justice and rights. Oh. the injust:ec
of man thou art a hero! Often
through hardness of heart, nun will
say they will not be bulld<>zfd and
cajoled, and claim to sec little petty
spites and prejudices of others. Oh,
that every one would learn to pull
the beam out of his own eve, that
you can see clearly to pull the mote
out of thy brother's eye.

as Daniel, to dream only from the
truth. Head Psalms 10'.', from 1 to
