Dr. Talmage Preaches on a
Question of Domestic Interest.
THE INFLUENCE OF HOME.
Points Out the Disadvantages
of a Life Spent in Hotel

Houses.

more or loss temporary stopping places
being sharply contrasted with the
blessings that arc found in the real
home, however humhlo. The text is
Luko x, 34,4.r>: "And brought him to
an inn and took care of him. An on
the morrow when he departed he took
out two pence and gave them to the
host and said unto him, Take care of
him, and whatever thou spendest more
when 1 come again 1 will repay thee."
This is the good Samaritan paying
the hotel bill of a man who had boon
robbed and almost killed by bandits.
The good Samaritan had found the on
fortunate on a lonely, rocky road, where
to this very day depredations are some
titncH committed upon travelers, and
had put the injured man into the saddle,
while this merciful and well to do
man had walked till they got to the
hotel, ami the wounded nan was put to
bed and cared for. It must have been
a very superior hotel in its accommodations,
for. though in the country, the
landlord was paid at the rate of what
in our country would he $1 or $."> a day,
a penny being then a day's wages, and
the two pennies paid in this case about
two days'wages. Moreover it was one
of those kind hearted landlords who are
wrapped up in the happiness of their
guests, because the good Samaritan
leaves the poor wounded fellow to his
entire care, promising that when he
came that way again he would pay all
the bills until the invalid got well.
Hotel and boarding houses are necessities.
In very ancient times they
n ci u uuiv nuw II, UUCUU3U I I1C? wonu IKIU
comparatively few inhabitants, and
thoso were not muoh given to travel,
and private hospitality met all the
wants of sojourners, as when Abraham
rushed out at Mature to invite the three
men to sit down to a dinner of veal; as
when the people were positively commanded
to be given to hospitality; as in
many of the places in the east these
ancient customs are practiced today.
Hut we havo now hotels presided over
by good landlords, and boarding houses
presided over by excellent host or hostess
in all neghborhoods, villages and
cities, and it is our congratulation that
those of our land surpass all other
lands. They rightly become the pcrmant
residence of many people, such as
those who are without families, such as
those whose business keeps them migratory,
such as those who ought not for
various reasons of health or peculiarity
of circumstances, to take upon themselves
the cares of hosckccping.
Many a man falling sick in one of
these boarding houses or hotels has
been kindly watched and nursed ; and by
the memory of her own sufferings and
losses the lady at the head of such a
house has done all that a mother could
do for a sick child, and the slumberless
eye of Cod sees and appreciates her |
sacrifices in behalf of the stranger.
Among the most marvelous eases of
patience and Christian fidelity are many
of those who keep boarding houses,
enduring without resentment the unreasonable
demands of their guests for
expensive food and attentions for which
they are not willing to pay an cquival
? i,.? ?.?>.?..i- - i

who aro not worth to tic the shoo of
their queenly caterer. The outrageous
way in which hoarders sometimes act
to their landlords and landladies shows
that these critical guests had bad early
rearing and that in the making up of
their natures all that constitutes the
gentleman and lady was left out. Some
of the most princely men and some of
the most elegant women that I know of
today keep hotels and hoarding houses.
Hut one of the great evils of this day
is found in the fact that a large population
of our towns and cities are giving
up and have give up their homes and
taken apartments, that they may have
more freedom from domestic duties and
more time for social life and because
they like the whirl of publicity better
than the quiet and privacy of a residence
they can call their own. The
lawful use of these hotels and boarding
houses is for most/people while they are
in transitu, but as terminus they are
in many cases demoralizations, utter
and complete. That is the point at
which families innumerable have begun
to disintegrate. Thcro never has heen
a time when so many families, healthy
and abundant!) able to support and
direct homes of their own, have struck
tent and taken permanent abode in
these nuhlie establishments. 11 is nn
evil wide as Christendom, and by voice
and through the newspaper press I utter
warning and burning protest and
ask Almighty Cod to bless the word,
whether in the hearing or reading.
In these public caravansaries tbe demon
of gossip is apt to get full ?way.
All the boarders run daily the gantlet
of general inspection?how they look
when they como down in the morning
and when they get in at night, and
what they do for a living, and who they
receive as guests in their rooms, and
what they wear and what they do not
wear, and how they cat, and what they
eat, and how much they cat and how
little they eat. If a man proposes in
such a place to bo isolated and rcticcBt
and alone, they will begin to guess
about him: Who is he? Where did he
come from? llow long is he going to
stay? lias lie paid his board? Now
much does he pay? 1'crhaps he has
uumiiiivieu nuiuu uniuc uuu uuus uui
want to be known. There must bo
something wrong about him, or he
would speak. The whole house goes
into the detective business. They must
find out about him. Thoy must find
out about him right away. If he leaves
his door unlocked by accident ho will
find that his rooms have been inspected,
his trunk explored, his letters folded
differently from tho way they wcro
folded when ho put them away. Who
is he? is tho question asked with intenser
interest until the subject has
i
MM ?V .
become ri ntonoinaniil. The simple fact
is that he is nobody it: particular, but
minds his own business.
The best landlords and landladies
cannot sometimes hinder thoir places
from becoming a pandemonium of whisperers,
and reputations are torn to tatters,
and evil suspicions aro aroused,
and scandals started and the parliament
of the family is blown to atoms by some
Guy Fawkes who was not caught in
time, as was his Fnglish predecessor of
irunpowdery reputation. The reason is
that while in private homes families
have so much to keep thorn busy in
these promiscuous and multitudinous
residences there aro so many who have
nothing to do, and that always makes
mischief. They gather in each other's
rooms and spend hours in consultation
about others. If they had to walk a
half mile before they got to willing ear
of some listener to detraction, they
would be out of breath before reaching
there ami not feel in full glow of animosity
or slander, or might, bconuso of
the distance, not go at all. Hut rooms
2t). 21, 22, 2d, 21 and 25 arc on the
same corridor, and when one carrion
crow goes "(law! Caw!' all the other
crows hear it and Hook together over
the same carcass. "Oh, I have heard
something rich! Sit down and let me
tell you all about it." And the lirst
gullaw increases the gathering, and it
has to be told all over again, and as
they separate each carries a spark from
the altar of (lab to some other circle
until, from the coal heaver in the cellar
to the maid in the top room of the gar
ret, all arc aware of the defamation and
that evening all who leave the house
will hear it toother houses until autumnal
tires sweeping across Illinois
praries are less raging and swift than
that flame of consuming reputation
blazing across the village or city.
Those of us who were brought up in
the country know that the old fashioned
hatching ol eggs in the haymow required
four or live weeks of brooding,
but there are now modes of hatching by
machinery, which take less time and do
the work by wholosalc. So, while the
private home may brood into life an occasional
falsity, and take a long time to
do it, many of the boarding houses and
family hotels attord a swifter and more
multitudinous style of moral incubation
and one old gossip will get oil the nest
_ r. i '. . - - >.- - i i
iii ujr uiiu uuur s uroouing, ciuCKing a
flock of BO lies after her, each one picking
up its little worm of juicy regale
mcnt. It is no Advantage to hear too
much about your neighbor*, for vour
time will he so much occupied in taking
care of their faults that you will h vino
time to look after your own. Ami
while you are pulling the chickwc< I out
of their garden, yours will get all overgrown
with horse sorrel and mullenstalks.
One of the worst damages that come
from the herding of so many people into
hoarding houses and family hotels is inflicted
upon children. 11 is only another
way of bringing them up on the commons.
While you have your own private
house you can, for the most part,
control their companionship and their
whereabouts, but by 12 years of age in
these public resorts they will havo
picked up all the bad things that can
be furnished by the prurient minds of
dozens of people. They will overhear
blasphemies and sec quarrels and get
precocious in sin, and what the bartender
docs not tell them the porter or host
ler or bell boy will.
Besides that, the children will go out
into this world without the restraining,
anchoring, steadying and all controlling
memory of a home. From that none of
us who have been blessed of such memory
have escaped. It grips a man for 80
years, if he lives so long. It pulls him
back from doors into which ho other
wise would enter. It smites him with
contrition in the very midst of his dissipations.
As the Ash already surrounded

scale they defy the sportsman on the
beach, aud after awhile the fishermen
begin to draw in the net hand over
hand and hand over hand, and it is a
long while before the captured tins begin
to feel the net, and then they dart
this way and that, hoping to get out,
but lind themselves approaching the
shore and are brought up to the very
feet of the captors, so the memory of
an early home sometimes seems to relax
and let men out farther and farther
from (Jod and farther and farther from
shore ft years, Id years, 2d years, lit)
years but some day they lind an irresistible
mesh drawing them back, and
they are compelled to retreat from their
prodigality and wandering, and, though
they make desperate effort to escape
the impression and try to dive deeper
down in sin, after awhile are brought
clear back and held upon the Kock of
Ages.
If it be possible, oh father and mother!
let your sons and daughters go out
' into the world under the semiomnipotent
memory of a good, pure home.
About your two or three rooms in a
boarding housi or a family hotel you
can cast 110 such glorious sanctity.
They will think of these public caravansaries
as an early stopping place, mala
dorous with old victuals, coffees pi rpetually
steaming and meats in evcrlast ing
stew or broil, the air surcharged with
carbonifl acid anil n.nrriilnpmilnn.r
drunken boarders eome staggering at 1
o'clock in tlie morning, rapping at the
door till the allrighted wife lets them
in. I>onot be guilty of the sacrilege
or blasphemy of calling such a plaeo a
home.
A home is four walls inclosing one
family with identity of interest and a
privacy from outside inspection so complete
that it is a world in itself, no ono
entering except by permission bolted
and barred and chained against all outside
in<|uisitiveness. The phrase so
often used in law books and legal circle;,
is mightily suggestive every man's
house is his castle. As much so as
though it had drawbridge, portcullis,
redoubt, bastion and armed turret.
I'iVcn i nc omccr 01 the law may not en
tor to servo a writ except the door ho
voluntarily opened unto him, llurglary
or the invasion of it a crime so oftensivc
that the law clashes its iron jaws
on any one who attempts it. Unless it
he necessary to stay for longer or shorter
time in family hotel or hoarding
house?and there arc thousands of instances
in which it is necessary, as I
showed you at the beginning?unless
this exceptional caso, let neither w ife
nor husband consent to such permanent
residence.
The probability is that the wife will
have to divido her husband's time with
public smoking or reading room or with
Home coquottiflli spider in search of unwary
Hies, and if you do not entirely
lose your husband it will be because ho
is divinely protected from the disasters
that havo whelmed thousands of husbands
with as good intentions as yours.
Neither should the husband without
imperative reason consent to such a life
unless ho is sure his wife can withstand
the temptation of social dissipation
which sweeps across such places with
the force of tho Atlantic ocean when
driven by a September exuinox. Many
wives givo up their homes lor these
public residences so that they may give
their entire time to operas, theaters,
balls, receptions and levees, and they
arc in a perpetual whirl, like a whiptop
spinning round and round and round
very prettily, until it loses its its cqui
poise and shoots oil into a tangent.
Hut the difference is, in one caso it is a
top and in the other a soul.
Hesides this there is an assiduous accumulation
of little things around the
private hotnc, which in the aggregate
make a great attraction; while the den
izon of one of these public residences
is apt to say. "What is the use? I
have no place to keep them if I should
tako them. Mementos, bric-a-brac,
euriosoties, ipiaint chair or cozy lounge
upholsteries, pictures and a thousand
things that accrete in a home are dis
carded or neglected because there is no
homestead in which to arrange them.
And jet they are the case in which the
pearl of domestic happiness is set. You
can never become as attached to the up
point incuts of a hoarding house or lam
ily hotel as to those things that you
can call your own and are associated
with the different members of your
household or with scenes of thrilling
import in your domestic history. Hlcssed
is that home in which for a whole
lifetime they have been gathering until
every figure in the carpet and every
panel of the door and every easement of
the window has a chirography of its
own. speaking out something about
father or mothet or son or daughter or
friend that was with us awhile. What
a sacred place it becomes when one can
say: "In that room such a one was
born; in that bed such a one died; in
that chair I sat on the night I heard
such a one had received a great public
honor; by that stool my child knelt for
her last evening prayer; here I sat to
greet my son as ho came back from sea
voyage, that was lather's cane; that was
mother's rocking chair." What a joyful
anil pathetic congress of reminiscences'
The public residence of hotel anil
j hoarding house abolishes the grace of
hospitality. Your guest docs not want
to come to such a table. No one wants
to run such a gantlet of acute and merciless
hypcrcitioism. Unless you have
a homo of your own you will not be able
to exercise the best rewarded of all the
graces. For exercise of this grace what
blessing came to the Shunammito in
the restoration of her son to life because
she entertained Klisha, and to the widow
of Zarephath in the perpetual oil
well of the miraculous cruse because
she fed a hungry prophet, and to Kali
ul > in the preservation of her life at
the demolition of Jericho because she
entertained the spies, and to Laban in
tho formation of an interesting family
relation because of his entertainment
of Jacob, and to Lot in his rescue from
the destroyed city because of his entertainment
of the angels, and to Mary and
Martha and Zacchcus in spiritual
blessing because they entertained Christ
and to I'ublius in the island of Mclita
in the healing of his father because of
the entertainment of 1'aul, drenched
from the shipwreck, and of innumerable
houses throughout Christendom
upon which have come blessings from
generation to generation because their
doors swung easily open in the enlarging,
ennobling, irradiating and divine
grace of hospitality. 1 do not know
what your experience has been, but 1
have had men and women visiting at
my house who left a benediction on
every room in the blessing they asked
at the table, in the prayer they oll'ered
at the family altar, in the good advice
they gave the children, in thegospcli/.ation
that looked out from every lineament
of their countenances, and their
1 *
departure w.ih iiic sword of bereavement.
The ?|ucen of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark had a royal cup of
ton curves, or lips, each one having
on it the name of the distinguished
pcison who had drunk from it. And
that cup which we olfer to others in
Christian hospitality, though it ho of
the plainest earthenware, is a royal cup,
and tied can read on all sides the
names of those who have taken from it
refreshment, hut all this is impossible
unless you have a homo of your own.
It is the delusion as to what is necessary
for a home that hinders ho
j many from establishing one. Thirty
rooms are not necessary, nor 20, nor 1">,
nor 10, nor nor d. In the light way
plant a table, and couch, and knife,
and fork, and a chair, and you can
raise a young paradise. Just start a
home on however small a scale, and it
will grow. When Kiag Cyrus was in
vitcd to dine with a humble friend, the
king made the one condition id' his
coming that the only dish be one loaf
of bread, and the most imperial satisfactions
have sometimes bamiueted on
the pi iinest fare Do not be caught in
the delusion of many thousands in
postponing a home until they can have
an expensive one. That idea is tho
devil's trap that eatchcs men and women
innumerable who will never have
any home at all. Capitalists of America,
huiId plain homes for the people.
Let this tenement house sjs'om, in
which hundreds of thousands of the
people of our cities are wallowing in
the mire, he broken up by small homes,
where people can have their own liresides
and their own altars. In this
great continent there is room enough
for every man and woman to havo a
homo. Morals and civilization and religion
demand it. Wc want done all
over this land what (Jeorire Pnahndv
and Lady Iturdctt-Coutts did in England
and some of (lie large manufacturers
of this country have done for the
villages and cities in building small
houses at low rents, so that the middle
classes can have separate homes. They
are the only class not provided for. The
rich have their palaces, and the poor
have their poorhouscs, and criminals
have t >cir jails, but what nh nit the
honest middle classes, who are able
and willing to work and jet have small
income? Let the capitalists, inspired
of (Sod an 1 puro patriotism, rise and
build whole streets of small residences.
The laborer may have at the eloso of
the day to walk or ride farther than is
desirable to reach it, but when he gets
to his destination in the eventide ho
will find something worthy of being
called by that glorious and impassioned
and heaven descended word "home."
Young married man, as soon as you
can buy such a place, even if you have
to put on it a mortgage reaching from
base to capstone. The much abused
mortgage, which is ruin to a reckless
man, to one prudent and provident is
the beginning of a competency and a
fortune for the reason he will not be
satisfied until he lias paid it off, and all
the household are put on stringent economics
until then. I>cny yourself all
superfluities ami all luxuries until you
can say, "Kverything in this house is
mine, thank (lod! ?very timber, evciy
brick, every foot of plumbing, every
doorsill.' I>i? not have your children
horn in a hoarding house, and do not
yourself he buried from one. Have a
plnco where your children can shout
and sing and roui|> without being overhauled
for the racket. Have a kitchen
where you can do something toward the
reformation of evil cookery and the lessening
of this nation of dyspeptics. As
Napoleon lost one of his great battles
by an attack of indigestion, so many
men have such a daily wrestle with the
food swallowed that they have no
strength left for the battle of life; and
though your wife may know how to play
on all musical instruments and rival a
prima dona, she is not well educated
unless she can hoi I an Irish potato and
broil a mutton chop, since the diet
sometimes derides the fate of families
and nations.
Have a sitting room with at least one
easy chair even though you have to take
turns at sitting in it, and books out of
the public library or of your own purchase
for the making of your family intelligent,
and checker hoards and guessing
matches, with an occasional blind
man s buff? which is of all games my
favorite. House up your home with all
styles of innocent mirth, and gather up
in your children's nature a reservoir of
exuberance that will pour down refreshing
streams when life gets parched, and
the dark days come, and the lights go
out, and the laughter is smothered into
a sob.
First, last and all the time have
Christ in your home. .)ulius Caesar
calmed the fears of an affrighted boatman
who was rowing him in a stream
by saying, ".So long as Caesar is with
you in the same boat 110 harm can
happen." And whatever storm of
adversity or bereavement or poverty
may strike your home all is well as
long as you have Christ the king on
board. Make your homo so farreaehing
in its influence that down to the
last moment of your children's life
you may hold them with a heavenly
charm. At 7<> years of age the Dcmosthcncs
of the American senate lay dying
at Washington I mean llenryClay
of Kentucky, llis pastor sat at his
bedside, and "(lie old man eloquent,"
after a long and exciting public life,
transatlantic and cisatlantic, was back
again in the scenes of his boyhood, and
he kept saying in his dream over and
again, "My mother, mother, mother!"
May the parental influence we exert bo
not only potential, but holy, and so the
home on earth be the vestibule of our
home in heaven, in which place may we
all meet father, mother, son, daughter,
brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother
and grandchild and the entire
group of preeious ones, of whom we
must say in the words of transporting
Charles Wesley:
One family we dwell in him,
One church above, beneath;

A Good Thing for FarmersIn
some parts of Pennsylvania,
where rural free mail delivery is in operation,
it is said the mcrehants, tavern
keepers and others are raising strenuous
objections to the system. It iH
claimed that the farmers pay fewer visits
to the towns and as a consequence
purchase fewer of the commodities
which the stores oiler for sale and cat
fewer meals at the taverns. There may
be something in that view of the matter
still it is hot likely that the legitimate
wants of the farmers arc decreased
through having their mails delivered at
their doors. If the rural free delivery
will save farmers from miking umieecessary
purchases, then it follows that
it is a good thing for the farmers.
