THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. JUNE 23, 1898. 5 "i — GOOD AND RAD SPORT. DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON ABOUT THE AMUSEMENTS OF THE HOUR. t When the ISlintl Old Giant Simmon \V»<* Called Forth to Aniline the Wicked of Gaza — The Christian Who Recreates Wisely—The Ileadly “Good Time.” ICopyright, 1S9S, by American Press Asso ciation.] Washington, Juno 19.—From an un usual standpoint Dr. Talinaga in this discourse discusses amusements and ap plies tests by which they may be known as good or bad. The text is Judges xvi, 25, “And 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 he made them sport.” There were 3,000 people assembled in the temple of Da son. They 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 cried: “Fetch him out! Fetch him out!” Yonder I see the blind old giant coming, led by the hand of a child into the very midst of the temple. At his first appeara>ce there goes up a shout of laughter and derision. The blind old giant pretends ho is tired and wants to rest himself against the pillars of the house, so he says to the lad who leads him, “Bring mo where tho main pillars are.” Tho lad does so. Then the strong man puts his hands on one of tho pil lars, and, with the mightiest push that mortal ever made, throws himself for ward until tho whole house comes down in thunderous craah, grinding the audi ence like grapes in a wine press. “And so it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Bamson, that ho may make us sp irt. And they culled for Samson out of the prison house, and he made them sport. ’ ’ In other words, there aro amusements that aro destructive aud bring down dis aster and death upon the heads of those who practiee them. While they laugh and cheer they die. Tho 3,000 who per- ishe4 that day in Gaza are nothing com pared with the tens of thousands who have been destroyed, body, mind and soul, by bad amusements and by good amusements carried to excess. In my sermons you must have notiowl that I have no sympatliy with ecclesias tical straitjankets, or with that whole sale denunciation of amusements to which many are pledged. I believe the church of God has made a tremendous mistake in trying to suppress tho sport fulness of youth and drive out from men their love of amusement If God ever implanted anything in us, he implanted this desire. But instead of providing for this demand of our nature the church of God has for tho main part ignored it. As in a riot tho mayor plants a battery at the end of tho street and has it fired off, so that everything is cut down that happens to stand in tho range, the good as well as the bad, so there aro men in tho church who plant their batteries of condemnation and tiro away indiscrimi nately. Everything is condemned. They talk as if they would like to have our youth dress in blue uniform, liko the children of an orphan asylum, and march down tho path of life to the tune of tho dead march in “Saul.” They hato a blue sash, or a rosebud in tho hair, or a tassolisd gaiter, and think a man almost ready for the lunatic asy lum who utters a conundrum. Young Meu’s Christian associations of the country are doing a glorious work. They have fine reading rooms, and all tho influences are of the best kind, and aro now adding gymnasiums and bowling alleys, where, without any evil surroundings, our young men may get physical as well as spiritual im provement. We aro dwindling away to a narrow chested, weak armed, feeble voiced race, when God calls us to a work in which ho wants physical as well as spiritual athletes. I would to God that tho time might soon come when in all our colleges and theological seminaries, as at Princeton, a gymna sium shall be established. We spend seven years of hard study in preparation for tho ministry and come out with bronchitis and dyspepsia and liver com plaint, and then crawl up into the pul pit, aud the people say, “Doesn't he look heavenly!” because he looks sickly. Let tho church of God direct rather than attempt to suppress the desire for amusement. Tho best men that the world ever knew have had their sports. William Wilbcrforco trundled hoop with his children. Martin Luther helped dress tho Christmas trio. Ministers have pitched 1 quoits, philanthropists have gone a-skating, prime ministers have played ball Our commanities are filled with men and women who have in their souls un measured resources for sportfulness and frolic. Show mo a man who never lights np with sportfuluess aud has no sympathy with tho recreations of oth ers, and X will show you a man who is a stumbling block to the kingdom of God. Such men are caricatures of reli gion. They lead young people to think that a man is good in proportion as he groans end frowns and looks sallow, aud that tho height of a man’s Chris tian stature is in proportion to the length of his faca I would trad* off 600 such men for one bright faced, radiant Christian on whoso face aro the words, “Rejoice evermorel ,r Every morning by his cheerful (ace ho preaches 60 ser mon a I will go further and say that I have no confidence in a roan who makes a religion of his gloomy looks. That kind of a man always turns out badly. I would not want him for the treasurer of an orphan asylum. The or- ins would suffca imong 40 people whom I received tho church at one communion there was only one applicant o* whoso piety 1 was suspicious. He had the loogeet story to tell, had seen the most visions aud gave an experience so wonderful that all the other applicante were die* couraged. I was not surprised the year after to learn that he had run off with tho funds of the bank with which ho was connected. Who is this Mack angel that you call religion—wings black, feet black, feathers black? Our religion is a bright angel—fri t bright, eyes bright, wings bright—taking her place in tho soul. She pulls a rope that reaches to the skies and sets all the b<. Us of heaven a-chimiug. There aro some persons who, when talking to a minister, always feel it politic to look lugubrious. Go forth, O people, to your lawful amusement! God means you to be happy. But when there are so many sources of innocent pleasure, why tamper with anything that is dangerous and polluting? Why stop our ears to a heaven full of songsters to listen to tho hiss of a dragon? Why turn back from the mountain side, all a-bloom with wild flowers aud a-dash with the nimble tor rents, and with blistered feet attempt to climb the hot sides of Cotopaxi? Now, all opera houses, theaters, howl ing alleys, skating rinks and all styles of amusement, good aud had, I put on trial today aud judge of them by cer tain cardinal principles. First, you may judge of any amusement by its healthful result or by its baneful reac tion. There are people who seem made up of hard facts. They are a combina tion of multiplication tables and statis tics. If you show them an exquisite pic ture, they will begin to discuss tho pig ments involved in tiie coloring; if you show them a beautiful rose, they will submit it to a botanical analysis, which is only the post mortem examination of n flower. They never do anything more than feebly smile. There are no great tides of feeling surging up from the depth of their soul in billow after bil low of reverberating laughter. They seem as if nature had built them by contract and made a bungling job out of it. But, blessed bo God, there are people in the world who have bright faces and whose life is a song, an an them, a p:ran of victory. Even their troubles aro like the vines tha4 crawl up the side of a great tower on the top of which the sunlight sits and the soft airs of summer hold perpetual carnival. They arc the people you like to have come to your house; they are the ]>eople I like to have come to iry house. Now it is these exhilarant and sympathetic aud warm hearted people that are most tempted to pernicious amusements. In proportion as a ship is swift it wants a strong helmsman; in proportion as a horse is gay it wants r. strong driver, and these people of ex uberant nature will do well to look at the reaction of all their amusements. If an amusement sends you Lome at uight nervous so you cannot sleep, aud you rise in the morning, not because you are slept out, but because your duty drags you from your slumbers, you have been where you ought not to have been. There are amusements that send a man next day to his work bloodshot, yawning, stupid, nauseated and they are wrong lauds of amusements. There are entertainments that give a man dis gust with the drudgery of life, with tools because they are not swords, with working aprons because they t:re not robes, with cattle because they are not infuriated bulls of thu arena. If any amusement sends you home longing for a life of romance and thrilling adven ture, love that takes poison ami shoots itself, moonlight adventures and hair breadth escapes, you may depend upon it that you are the sacrificed victim of uusanctified pleasure. Our recreations are intended to build us up, aud if they pull us down as to our moral or as to our physical strength, you may come to the conclusion that they are obnox ious. Still further, those amusements are wrong which lead into expenditure be yond your means. Money spent in recre ation is not thrown away. It is all folly for us to come from a place of amuse ment feeling that wo have wasted our money and time. You may by it have made an investment worth more than the transaction that yielded you ?100 or 11,000. But how many properties have been riddled by’ costly amuse ments? The table has been robbed to pay the club. The champagne has cheated the children’s wardrobe. Tho carousing party has burned up tho hoy’s primer. The tablecloth of the corner saloon is in debt to the wife’s faded dress—excursions that in a day make a tour around a whole mouth’s wages; ladies whose lifetime business it is to “go shopping” have their counterpart in uneducated children, bankruptcies that shock tho money market and appall the church and that send drunkenness staggering across the richly figured car pet cf the mansion and dashing into the mirror and drowning out tho carol of music with tho whooping of bloated sous come homo to break their old mother’s heart. When men go into amusements that they cannot afford, they first borrow what they cannot earn, and then they steal what they cannot borrow. First they go into em barrassment aud then into theft, aud when a man gets as far on as that ho does uot stop short of the penitentiary. There is uot a prison iu tho land where there are not victims of nnsanctificd amusements. How often 1 have hod parents come to me aud ask me to go aud Log their boy off from the conse quence of crimes that ho had committed against his employer—the taking of funds out of the employer’s till or tho disarrangement (jt tho dccounts. Why, he had salary enough to pay all lawful expenditure, but uot enough salary tc moot his sinful amusements. Aud again and again i have gone aud implored for the young man—sometimes, alas, the petition unavailing! How brightly the path of unrestrain ed amusement opens! Tho yimug muu says: “Now I am off for a good time. Never mind economy. I’ll get money somehow. What a fine mad! What a beautiful day for a ridel Crack tho whip, aud over the turnpike! Come, boys, fill high your glasses I Drink 1 Long life, heTTlth, plenty of rides just like this!’’ Hardworking men hear the clatter of the hoofs and look up and say: “Why, I wonder where those fellown get their money from. Wo have to toil and drudge. They do nothing. ” To these gay men life is a thrill ami an ex citement. They stare at other people and u. turn are stared at. The watch chain jingles. The eup foams. The checks flush. The eyes flash. The mid night hears their* guffaw. They swag ger. Ihiw jostle decent men off the side walk. They take the name of God in vain. They parody the hymn they learned at their mother’s knee, and to ! all pictures of coming disaster they cry out, Who cares!” and to the conns;:! of some Christian friend, “Who are | you?” Passing along the street sonic | night you hear a shriek in a grogshop, j the rattle of tin* watchman's club, the rush of the police. What is tho matter t now: Oh, this reckless young man has been killed in a grogshop fight. Carry him homo to his father's house. Parents ! will come down and wash his wounds and close his eyes in death. They for- ; give him all he ever did, though he can- j uot in silence ask it. The prodigal has 1 got home at last. Mother will go to her little garden and get tho sweetest flow- J ers and twist them into a chaplet for ; the silent heart of the wayward hoy aud , push buck from the bloated brow the i long locks that were once her pride. ! And tho air will he rent with the fa ther’s cry, “Oh, my sou, my son, my P»or sou; would God I hail died for thee, oh, my son, my sou!” Ton may judge of amusements by their effect upon physical health. Tho need of many good people is physical recuperation. There are Christian men who write hard things against their im mortal souls when there is nothing the matter with them but an incompetent liver. There are Christian people who seem to think that it is a good sign to be poorly, and because Richard Baxter and Robert Hall were invalids they think that by the same sickness they may come to the same grandeur of char acter. I want to tell Christian people that God will hold you responsible for your invalidism if it is your own fault and when through right exercise and prudence you might be athletic and welL The effect of the body upon the soul yon acknowledge. Put a man of mild disposition upon the animal diet of which the Indian partakes, aud in a little while his blood jvill change its i chemical proportions. It will become like unto the blood of tho lion or tho tiger or tho bear, while his disposition will change and become fierce, cruel aud uurelei*tiug. The body has a pow erful effect upon the soul. There aro people whose ideas of heaven aro all shut out with clouds of tobacco smoko. There aro people who dare to shatter the physical vase in which God put tho jewel of eternity. There aro men with great hearts aud intellects in bodies worn out by their own neglects. Mag nificent machinery capable of propelling a great Etruria across tlio Atlantic, yet fastened in a rickety North river pro peller. Physical development which merely shows itself a fabulous lift ing or iu perilous rope walking or iu pugilistic encounter excites only our contempt, but we confess to great ad miration for the man who has a great soul in an athletic body, every nerve, muscle and bone of which is consecrated to right uses. Oh, it seems to :no out rageous that men through neglect should allow their physical health to go down beyond repair, spending the re st of their life uot iu some great enterprise for God and the world, hut in studying what is tho best thing to take for dys pepsia. A ship which ought with all sails set and every man at his post to Lo carrying a rich cargo for eternity, em ploying all its men in stopping up leak ages. When you may through some of the popular and healthful recreations of our time work iff your spleen and your querulousness and one-half of your physical and mental ailments, do not turn your hack from such a grand med icament Again, judge of the places of amuse ment by tho companionship into which they put you. If you belong to an or ganization where you have to associate with the intemperate, with the un clean, with the abandoned, however well they may he dressed, iu the name of God quit it. They will despoil your nature. They will undermine your moral character. They will drop you when you aro destroyed. They will not give one cent to support your children when you aro dead. They will weep not ouo tear at your burial. They will chuckle over your damnation. Burthe day comes when the men who have ex erted evil influence upon their fellows will ho brought to judgment. Scene, the last day. Stage, the rocking earth. En ter dukes, lords, kings, beggars, clowns. No sword. No tinsel. No crown. For footlights, the kindling flames of a world. For orchestra, the trumpets that wake the dead. For gallery,, the clouds filled with angel spectators. For applause, the clapping floods of the sea. For curtains, the heavens rolled togeth er as a scroll. For tragedy, the doom of the destroyed. For farce, the effort to servo the world and God at the same time. For tho last scene of tho fifth act, the trump of nations across the stage—some to the right, others to the left. Again, any amusement that gives you a distaste for domestic life is bud. How many bright domestic circles have been broken np by sinful amusements? The father went off, the mother went off. the child went off. There are all around us the fragments of blasted house* olds. Oh, if you have wandered uw<9, 1 would like to charm you back by the sound of that one word, ‘‘home!” Do you uot know that you have but little more time to give to domestic welfare? Do you uot sio, father, that your chil dren are soon to go out into the world and all the influence for good you are to have over them yon must have now? Death \rill brquk in on your conjugal rdutioulr and alas if you have to stu^d over the grave of one who perished from your neglect! I saw a wayward husband standing at the deathbed of his Christian wife, and I saw her point to a ring on her finger aud heard her say to her husband, “Du you s;e that ring?” Ho replied, “Yea, I see it.” “Well,” said she, “do you remember who put it there?” “Yes,” said he, “I put it there.” And nil the past seemed to rush upon him. By the memory of that day, when in the pres ence of men aud angels youpromis*. d to be faithful in joy and sorrow aud in sickness and in health; by the memory yf those pleasant hours when you sat to gether in your new house talking of a bright future; by the cradle and the ex cited hour when one life was spared and another given; by that sickbed, when the little one lifted up the hands aud called for help and you knew he must die, and he put one arm around each of your necks aud brought you very near together in that dying kiss; by the lit tle grave iu tho cemetery that you never thing of without a rush of tears; by the family Bible, where iu its stories of heavenly love is the brief hut express ive record of births and deaths; by the neglects of the past and by the agonies of the future; by a judgment day when husbands and wives, parents and chil dren, in immortal groups will stand to bo caught up iu shining array or to shrink down into darkness—by all that, I beg you to give to home your best af fections. I look in your eyes today, and I ask you the question that Gehazi ask ed of the Shunammite: “Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with thy child?” God grant that it may bo everlastingly well! Let mo say to all young men your style of amusement will decide your eternal destiny. One night I saw a young man at a street comer evidently doubting as to which direction he had better take. He had his hat lifted high enough so you could see ho had an in telligent forehead. Ho had a stout chest; he had a robust development Splendid young man. Cultured young man. Honored young man. Why did he stop there while so many wen* going up and down? The fact is that every man has a good angel and a bad an gel contending for the mastery of his spirit And there was a good angel and a bad angel struggling with that young man’s soul at the corner of the street “Como with me,” said the good an gel, “I will take you home. I will spread my wing over your pathway. I will lovingly escort you all through life. I will bless every cup you drink out of, every couch you rest on, every doorway you enter. I will consecrate your tears when you weep, your sweat when you toil, and at the last I will band over your grave into tho hand of tho bright angel of a Christian resur rection. In answer to your father’s pe tition and your mother’s prayer I have been sent of the Lord out of heaven to bo your guardian spirit. Come with me, ’' said tho good angel in a voico of unearthly symphony. It was music like that which drops from a lute of heaven when a seraph breathes on it. “No, no,” said tho bad angel, “come with j me. I have something better to offer, j The wines 1 pour are from chalices of bewitching carousal. The dance I lead is over floor tessellated with unrestrain- | ed indulgences. There is no God to | frown on the temples of sin where I ! worship. The skies are Italian. The j paths I tread are through meadows daisied aud prhnrosed. Como with me.” Tho young man hesitated at a time when hesitation was ruin, and tho had angel smote tho good angel until it departed, spreading wings through the starlight upward and away, until a door flashed open in the sky and forever tho wings vanished. That was tho turn ing point iu that young man’s history, for, the good angel flown, he hesitated no longer, hut started on a pathway which is beautiful at tho opening, but blasted at the last. Tho bad angel, leading tho way, opened gate after gate, and at each gate the road became rougher anil the sky more lurid, and, what was peculiar, as the gate slammed shut it came to with a jar that indicated that it would never open. Passed each portal, there was a grinding of locks and n shoving of bolts, and the scenery on cither side tho road changed from gardens to deserts, and the June air became a cutting De cember blast, and the bright wings of the had angel turned to sackcloth, and the eyes of light became hollow with hopeless grief, aud tho fountains, that at tho start had tossed wine, js ured forth bubbling tears and foaming blood, and on the right side of tho road there was u serpent, and the man said to the bad angel, “What is that serpent?” and the answer was, “That is the serpent of stinging remorse.” On tho left side of the road there was a lion, and the man asked the bad ungel, “What is that lion?” and tho answ’er was, “That is the lion of all detouring despair.” A ▼ulture flew through the sky, and the man asked the bad angel, “What is that vulture?” and the answer was, “That is tho vulture waiting for tho carcasses of tho slain. ” Aud then tho man began to try to pull off of him the folds of something that had wound him round tmd round, and he said to the bml angel, •What is it that twists me iu this awful convolution?” aud tho an swer was, “That is the worm that never dies, “ aud then the man said to the bad angel: “What does all this mean? 1 trusted in what yon said at the comer of the street that night. I trusted it all, and why have you thus deceived me?” Then th^iast deception fell off the charmer, and it said: “I w’as sent forth from the pit to destroy your soul. I watched my chance for many a long year. When you hesitated that night on the street, I gained my triumph. Now you are bore. Hu, ha! You are hero. Come, now, let ua fill these two chaUneii of fire aud drink together to darkness and woe and death. Hail, hail!” Oh, young man, will tho good angel sent fqfth by Christ or the bud angel scut forth by sin gat the victory over ypnr soul? Their wings are interlocked this moment above you, contending for your destiny, as above the Apennines eagle and condor fight midsky. This hour may decide your ’destiny. God help you.

In the middle of ouo of tho rooms is a large table for spreading out the uni forms. There is a sixth room in which small repairs aro undertaken. Here a tailor is permanently employed, for Kaiser Wilhelm does not throwaway clothes until they aro well worn. Ho keeps about lb pairs of white military gloves in use. These aro cleaned and re paired from time to time. The glover receives a small yearly sum for his serv ices. Each pair is supposed to have a certain “life.” Should tho leather show any defect it is returned to the unlucky glover with a peremptory demand for an explanation. When a suit is ordered, woo be to the tailor should it uot fit like a glove, though a “try on” is never permitted. Directly a suit has been taken off it is returned to the wardrobe and there sub jected to the closest scrutiny.
