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

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.

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

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

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

I cannot adopt that theory. But this sug

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

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.
