■ i RETURN TO THINE HOUSE. AN ELOQUENT SERMON AT THE TABERNACLE. Dr. Talmage Shows that Religious Gratitude Should First Be Dem onstrated in the Family Circle at Home. Brooklyn, April 15.—In the great audience which aewmhled in the Brook lyn Tabernacle this forenoon were many atrangem Rev. Dr. Talmage chose for the subject of his sermon “Home Reli gion, ” taking his text from Luke viii, it, “Return to thine own house and •haw how great things God hath done auto thee.” After a fierce and shipwrecking night Qhrist and his disci plea are climbing up the slaty shelving of the beach. How fWasant it is to stand on solid ground After having been tossed so long on the Mllows! While the disciples are con gratulating each other on their marine aoeape out from a dark, deep cavern on •he Gadurene hills there is something •wiftly and terribly advancing. Is it an apparition? Is it a man? Is it a wild beast? It is a maniac who has broken iway from his keepers, perhaps a few rags on his person and fragments of •tout shackles which he has wrenched off in terrific paroxysm. With wild yell tmA bleeding wounds of his own lacer ation he file* down the hill Back to the boats, ye fishermen, and it out to sea and escape assassination i Christ stands his ground; so do the disciples, and as this fiying fury, with gnashing teeth and uplifted fists, dashes at Christ Christ says: “Hands off! Down at my feet, thou poor sufferer. ’ ’ And the demoniac drops harmless, exhausted, worshipful. “Away, ye devils!” com manded Christ, aud the 2,000 fiends which had been tormenting the poor are transferred to the 2,000 swine, which go to sea with their accursed •argo. The restored demoniac sits down at Christ's feet and wants to stay there. Christ says to him practically: “Do not •top. You h&ve a mission to execute. le ill 5 it ( ut Wash off the filth and the wounds in the 'Ma. Biuooth your disheveled locks. Put on decent apparel and go straight to your desolated home and tell your wife and children that you will no more affright them and no more do them harm; that you are restored to reason, and that I, the omnipotent Son of God, am entitled hereafter to the wofship of your entire household. Return to thine own house and shew how great things God hath done onto thee. ” A Tree Home Luxury. Yes, the house, the home is the first place where our religious gratitude ought to be demonstrated. In the out •ide world we may seem to have religion when we have it not, but the home test* whether our religion is genuine or a •ham. What makes a happy home? Well, one would say a house with great wide halls, aud antlered deer heads, aad parlors with sculpture, aud bric-a- hrac, im.*> Ainiiu? hall with easy chair, aud plenty of light, aud engravings of game on the wall, and sleeping apart ments commodious aud adorned. No. In •uch a place as that gigantic wretched ness has sometimes dwelt, while some of you look back to your father’s house, where they read their Bible by the light of a tallow caudle. There were no carpets on the floor save those made from the rags which your mother cut night by night, you helping wind them into a ball, aud •hen sent to the weaver, who brought them to shape under his slow shuttle. Not a luxury in all the house. But you eannot think of it this morning without tearful and grateful emotion. Yon and I have found out that it is not rich tap estry, or gorgeous architecture, or rare art that makes a happy home. The six wise men of Greece gave pre scriptions for a happy home. Solon says • happy home is a place where a man’s agate was gotten without injustice, kept without disquietude and spent without repentance. Chile says that a happy home is the place where a man rub's as a monarch a kingdom. Bias says that a happy homo is a place where a man doas voluntarily what by law he is com pelled to do abroad. But you and I un der a grander light give a better pre- soriptiou—a happy home is a place where the kindness of the gospel of the Son of God has full swing. KaUglon In Domestic Datle*. While I speak this morning there is knocking at your front door, if he he not already admitted, one whose locks are wet with the dews of the night, who would take your children into his and would throw upon — tout sl »*>-“• - j our nursery, and ■' y.ug apartments, and your draw- lug room, and your entire house a bless ing that will make you rich while you live and be an inheritance to your chil dren after you have done the last day’s work for their support and made for •hem the last prayer. It is the illustri- •us one who said to the man of my text, “Return to thine own house and ■hew how great things God hath done unto thee.” Now, in the first place, we want religion in our domestic duties. Every housekeeper needs great grace. If Martha had had more religion, she would not have rushed with such bad temper to scold Mary in the presence of Christ It is no small thing to keep or der and secure cleanliness and mend breakages and achieve economy and con trol all the affairs of the household ad vantageously. Expenses will run np, store bills will come in twice as large as jrou think they ought to be, furniture will wear out, carpets will unravel, and •he martyrs of the fire are very few in comparison with the martyrs of house keeping. Yet there are hundreds of people in this ohorch this morning who in their homes are managing all these affairs vith a composure, an adroitness, an in genuity and a faithfulness which they never could have reached but for the muoe of our practical Christianity. The #Kasperatlons which wear out others have been to you spiritual development and aanotifloation. Employments which •eemed to relate only to an hour have •n them all the grandeurs of eternal his- •"L. need the religion of Christ in the discipline of your children. The rod which in other homes may lie the first means used in yours will be the last. There will be no harsh epithets—“you knave, you villain, you scoundrel, I’ll thrash the life out of you; you are the worst child I ever knew. ” All tliat kind of chastisement maiu* thieves, pick- t,murderers nud the outlaws of *o- That parent who iu auger strikes aoQM Um head dgMrrm the penitentiary.

But there is a healthful medium which the grace of God will show to us. Religion m an Exaui|>l<*. Then we need the religion of Christ to help us in setting a good example. Cowper said of the oak. “Time was when settled on thy leaf a fly could shake thee to the root. Time has been when tempest could not.” In other words, your children are very impressi ble just now. They are alert; they are gathering impressions you have no idea of. Have you not been surprised some times, month' or years after some con versation v aich you supposed was too profound or intricate for them to under stand—some question of the child dem onstrated the fact that he knew all about it? Your children are apt to think that what you do is right They have no idea of truth or righteousness hut yourself. Things which you do knowing at the time to be wrong they take to bo right They reason this way: “Father always does right. Father did this. Therefore this is right.” That is good logic, hut bad premises. No one ever gets over having had a bad example set him. Your conduct more than your teaching makes impression. Y'uux laugh, your frown, year dress, your walk, your greetings, your goodbys, your comings, your go- ings, your habits at the table, the tout's of your voice, are making an impression which will last a million years after you are dead, and the sun will be extin guished, and the mountains will crum ble, and the world will die, and eternity will roll on iu perpetual cycles, hut there will be no diminution of the force of your conduct upon the young eyes that saw it or the young ears that heard it The Age For Study., Now I would not have by this the idea given to you that you must be in cold reserve in the presence of your children. You are not emperor. You are companion with them. As far as you can, you must walk with them, skate with them, fly kite with them, play hall with them, show them you are interested iu all that interests them. Spensippus, the nephew and successor of Plato iu the academy, had pictures of joy and ghtdness hung all around the schoolroom. You must not give your children the impression that when they come to ^’ou they are playful ripples striking against a rock. You must have them understand that you were a l>oy once yourself, that you know a boy’s hilarities, a .boy’s tempta tions, n boy’s ambition—yea, that you are a boy yet You may deceive them and try to give them the idea that you are some distant supernatural effulgence, and you may shove them off by your rig orous behavior, but the time will come when they will find out the deception, and they will have for you utter con tempt. Aristotle said that a Ix iy should Ix-giu to study at 17 years of age. Before that his time should l>e given < » r< erect ion. I cannot adopt that theory. But this sug gests a truth in the right direction. Childhood is -aml^e have not enough sympathy with its sp' "wifuiness. We want divine grace to help us rHtthe adjustment of all these matters. first year of his pastorate ne tried to per suade a young mechanic of the impor tancc of family worship. Sonic time passed, and the mechanic came to the pastor's study aud said: “Do you re member that girl? That was my own child. She died this morning very sud denly. She has gone to God, I have no doubt, but if so she has told him what I tell you now—that child never heard a prayer in her father's house, never heard a prayer from her father's lips. Oh, if I only had her back again one day to do my duty 1” It will be a tremen dous thing at the last day if some one shall say of us: “I never heard my fa ther pray. I never heard my mother better life, and having seen (he grace ot the gospel in (his place today you are now fully ready to return to your own house and show what great things God has done unto you. Though parrot* mar In covenant ba And hava their haavau In vltw, Thar are not happr till th*r — Their child ran happr too. May the Lord God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, be our God and the God of our children forever. _ m LOCAL LEDGERITES. Besides that, how are jour children I^jth thee, ever to become Christians if you your- j When Ihn self are not a Christian? I have noticed that however worldly and sinful parents may lie they want their children good. When young people have presented themselves for admission into our mem bership, I have said to them, “Are your | father and mother willing you shall come?” And they have said, “Oh, yes; 1 they are delighted to have us come. They have not been in church for 10 or 15 years, but they will lie here next Sab bath to sec me baptized.'' I have noticed that parents, however worldly, want their children good. A Good Mother Sought. Bo it was demonstrated in a point} court in Canada, where a mother, her little child iu her arms, sat by a table on which her own handcuffs lay, and the little babe took up the handcuffs aud played with them and liad great glee. She knew not the sorrow of the hour. Aud then when the mother was sent to prison the mother cried out: "O God, let not this babe go into the jail! Is there not some mother here who will take this child? It is good enough for heaven. It is pure. I am bad. I am wicked. Is there not some one who will take this child? I cannot have it tainted witli the prison. ’ ’ Then a brazen crui- * tore rushed up and said, “ Y*-" T “ i . . the child.” No - V, “not’ “°> K * u * the mother, ,, ju, not you. Is there not some good mother here who will take this child?” And then when the officer of the law in mercy aud pity took the child to carry it away to find a home for it the mother kissed it lovingly gootjby and said: “Goodby, my darling. It is better you should never see me again. ” However worldly and sinful people are, they want their children good. How are you going to have them good? Buy them a few good lx>oki*? Teach them a few excellent catechisms? Bring them to church? That is all very well, but of little final result unless you do it with the grace of God in your heart. Do you not realize that your children are started for eternity? Are they on the right road? Those little forms that are now so bright and beautiful—when they have scat tered iu the dust, there will lie an im mortal spirit living on in a mighty thea ter of action, aud your faithfulness or your neglect now is deciding tliat des tiny. * There is contention already among ministering spirits of salvation and fallen angels as to who shall have the mastery of that immortal spirit. Your children are soon going out in the world. The temptations of life Mill rush upon them. The most rigid resolution will bend in the blast of evil What will be the result? It will require all tho re straints of tho gospel, all the strength of a father’s prayer, all the influence of a Christian mother’s example to keep them. You say it is too early to bring them. Too early to bring them to God? Do you know how early children were taken to the ancient passover? The rule was just as soon as they could take hold of the father’s hand and walk up Mount Mori ah they should lie taken to tho passover. Your children are not too young to come to (Jod. While you sit hero and think of thfm perhaps their forms now so bright and lieautiful vanish from you, aud their disemliodiud spirit rises, and you see it after tho life of virtue or crime is past, and the judgment is gone, aud eternity is here. Prayer In tka Home. A ChristUu uduutar sail], Quit in Um pray.” Again, I remark, we want religion in all our home sorrows. There are 10,000 questions that come np in the best regu lated household that must be settled. Perhaps the father has one favorite in the family, the mother another favorite in tho family, and there are many ques tion: 'hat need delicate treatment Tyranny and arbitrary decision have no place in a household. If the parents love God, there will be a spirit of self sacrifice, and a spirit of forgiveness, and a kindness which will throw its charm over the entire household. Christ will come into that household and will say: “Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter against them. Wives, see chat you reverence your husbands. Children, obey your parents in the Lord. Servants, be obedient to yonr masters.” And the family will be like a garden on a sum mer morning—the grass plot, and the flowers, and the vines, and the arch of honeysuckle standing in the sunlight glittering with dew. Religion In Mlnfortone. But then there will be sorrows that will come to the household. There are but few families that escape tho stroke of financial misfortune. Financial mis- fortane comes to a house where there is no i iligion. They kick against divine allotments they curse God for the in coming calamity, they withdraw from the world because they cannot hold as high a position in society as they once did, and they fret, and they scowl,,and 1 they sorrow, and they die. During the past few years there have been tens of thousands of men destroyed by their financial distresses. Bat misfortune comes to the Christian household. If religion has full sw'ay in that home, they stoop gracefully. They say, “This is right ” The father says: "Perhaps money was getting to be my idol. Perhaps God is going to make me a better Christian by putting me through the furnace of tribulation. Besides fhat, why should I fret anyhow? He who OM'neth the cattle on a thousand hills and out of M’hose hand all the fowls of heaven peck their food is my Father. He clotheth tho lilies of the field. Ho will clothe mo. If he takes care of the raven, and tho hawk, and the vulture, most certainly he will take care of me, his child.” Borer troubles como—sickness and death. Loved ones sleep the last sleep. A child is buried out of sight You say: “Alas, for this bitter day! God has dealt very severely with me. I can never look up. O God, I cannot hear it.” Christ comes in, and he says: “Hush, O troubled soul! It is well with the child. I M’ill strengthen thee iu all thy trou bles. My grace is sufficient When thou passeth tlirough the waters, I will be critically ill. Gilmer, rela- Items Which Are Too Short for a Head, ing Bunched Together.

Open the Bible and read a chapter; that will make you strong. Kneel down and offer the first prayer in your household. It may be a broken petition; it may be only “God be merciful to me, a rimer. ” But God will stoop, and spirits will listen, and angels will chant, “Behold, he prays!” Do not retire from this house this morning until you have resolved upon the matter. You will be gone. I will be gone. Many years will pass, and per haps your younger children may forget almost everything about you, hut 40 years from now in some Sabbath twi light your daughter will be sitting with the family Bible on her lap reading to h'T children when she will stop, and pe culiar solemnity will come to her face, aud a tear will start, and the children will say, “Mother, what mokes you cry?” And she will say, “Nothing, only I was thinking that this is the very Bi ble out of which my father and mother used to read at morning and evening prayer. ” All other things about yon they may forget, but train them up for God and heaven. They will not forget that A Grand Gift. When a queen died, her three brought an offering to the grave. One son brought gold, another brought sil ver, but the third poa came and stood over the grave and opened one of his veins and let the blood drop upon his mother’s tomb, and all who saw it said it was the greatest demonstration of affection.
