[Copyright, 1899, by Amorican Press Asso ciation.] Washington, Feb. 26.—Many tender recollections are stirred by Dr. Tal- mage’tf discourse and scenes of boyhood and girlhood days will be lived over again; text, I Timothy v, 4, “Let them learn first to show piety at home.” During the summer months the tend ency is to the fields, to visitation, to foreign travel and the watering places, and the ocean steamers are thronged, but in the winter it is rather to gather in domestic circles, and during these months wo sjieiid many of the hours within doors, and the ajMjstle conies to us and says that we ought to exercise Christian behavior amid all such cir cumstances. “Let them learn first to show piety at home. ” There are a great many people long ing for some grand sphere in which to serve God. They admire Luther at the diet of Worms, and only wish that they had some such great opportunity in which to display their Christian prowess. They admire Panl making Felix tremble, and they only wish that they had some such grand occasion in which to preach righteousness, temper ance and judgment to come. All they want is an opportunity to exhibit their Christian heroism. Now. the apostle practically says “I will show you a place where you can exhibit all that is grand and beautiful and glorious in Christian character and that is the do mestic circle. Let them learn first to show piety at home. ” If one is not faithful in an insignificant sphere, he will not he faithful in u resounding sphere If Peter will not help the crip ple at the gate of the temple, ho will never be able to preach 3.000 into the kingdom at the Pentecost. If Paul will not take pains to instruct in the way of salvation the jailer of the Philippi n dungeon, he will never make Fehx tremble. Ho who is not faithful iu a skirmish would not he faithful in an Armageddon. The fact is. we are all placed in just the position in which we can most grandly serve God, and wo ought not to be chiefly thoughtful about some sphere of usefulness which we may after awhile gain, but the all ab sorbing question with yon and with me ought to be. “Lord, what wilt thou have me now and here to do?” There is one word in St. Paul's ad juration around which the most of our thoughts will revolve. That word is “home.’ Ask ten different men the meaning of that word and they will give you ten different definitions. To one it means love at the health, plenty at the table, industry at the work stand, intelligence at the books, devotion at the altar In that household discord never sounds its war whoop, and de ception never tricks with its false face. To him it means a greeting at the door and a smile at the chair, peace hover ing like wings, joy clapping its hands with laughter Life is a tranquil lake Pillowed on the ripples sleep the shad ows. Ask another man what homo is and he will tell you it is want looking out of a cheerless fire grate, kneading hunger in an empty bread tray The damp air shivering with curses. No Bible ou the shelf Children robbers and murderers in embryo. Obscene song* their lullaby Every face a picture of ruin Want in the background and sin staring from the front No Sabbath wave rolling over that doorsill. Vesti bule of the pit. Shadow of infernal walls Furnace for forging everlasting chains. Fagots for an unending funeral pile. Awful word. It is spelled with curses, it weeps with ruin, it chokes with woo. it sweats with the death agony of despair The word “home’ in the one case means everything bright. The word “home’ in the other case means everything terrific. As a Tent of Character. I shall speak now of home as a test of character, home as a refuge, honie as u political safeguard, home as a school, and home as a typo of heaven. And in the first place, homo is a power ful test of character The disposition in public may be iu gay costume, while in private it is dishabille. As play ac tors may appear in one way on the stage and may appear iu another way behind the scenes, so private character may be very different from public character. Private character is often public char acter turned wrong side out A man may receive you into his parlor as though he was a distillation of smiles, and yet his heart may be a swamp of nettles There are business men who all day long are mild and courteous, and genial and good uatured in com mercial life, damming back their irrita bility and their petulance and their discontent, but at nightfall the dam breaks, and scolding pours forth in floods and freshets Reputation is only the shadow of character, and a very small house some times will cast a very long shadow. The lips may seem to drop with myrrh and cassia and the disposition to be as bright and warm as a sheath of sun beams. and yet they may only be a magnificent show window for a wretch ed stock of goods. There is mfty a man who is affable in public life and amid commercial spheres who in a cow ardly way takes his anger and his petu lance home and drops them in the do mestic circle The reason men do not display their bad temper in public is because they do not want to be knocked down There are men who hide their petulance and their irritability just for the same reason that they do not let their notes go to protest—it does not pay—or for the same reason that they do not want a man in their stock com pany to soil his stock below par lest it depreciate the trains. As at sunset sometimes the wind rises, so after a sunshiny day there may lie u tempestuous night There are peo ple who in public act the philanthropist wlio at home act the Nero with respect to their slippers and their gown. Audu bon, the great ornithologist, with gun and pencil went through the forests of America to bring down and to sketch the beautiful birds, and after years of toil and exposure completed his manu script and put it in a trunk in Phila delphia and went off for a few days of recreation and rest and came back and found that the rats had utterly de stroyed the manuscript, but without any discomixamre and without any fret or bad temper he again picked np his gun and bi» pencil and visited again all the great forests of America and repro duced his immortal work. And yet there are people with the ten-thousandth part cf that loss who are utterly irreconcil able, who at tlio loss of a pencil or an artic le of raiment will blow as long and loud and sharp as a northeast storm. Now. that man who is affable in public and who is irritable iu private is mak ing a fraudulent and overissue of stock, and he is us hud ns a bank that might have $400,000 or $500,000 of bills in circulation with no specie in the vault. Let us learn to show piety at home. If we have it not there, we have it not anywhere. If we have not genuine grace in the family circle, all our outward and public plausibility merely springs from the fear of the world or from the slimy, putrid pool of our own selfish ness. I tell you the home is a mighty test of character. What you are at home you are everywhere, whether you demonstrate it or not. Home lx a ItefuKe. Again, home is a refuge. Life is the United States army on the national road to Mexico—a long march, with ever and anon a skirmish and a buttle. At eventide wo pitch our tent and stack the arms, wo hang up the war cap, and our head on the knapsack we sleep un til the morning bugle calls us to inarch to the action. How pleasant it is to re hearse the victories and the surjirises and the attacks of the day seated by the still campfire of the home circle! Yea, life is a stormy sea. With shivered masts and torn sails and Imlk aleak we put in at the harbor of home. Blessed harbor! There we go for repairs in the drydock. The candle in the window is to the toiling man the lighthouse guid ing him into port Children go forth to meet their fathers as pilots at the Nar rows take the hand of ships. The door- sill of the homo is the wharf where heavy life is unladen. There is the place where we may talk of what we have done without being charged with self adulation There is the pluco where we may lounge without being thought ungraceful. There is the place where we may express affection without being thought silly. There is the place where we may forget our annoyances and ex asperations and troubles. Forlorn earth pilgrim, no home? Then ’ie. That is better. The grave is brighter and gri*' ier and more glorious than this world with no tent from marching, with no harbor from the storm, with no place of rest from this scene of greed and gouge and loss and gain. God pity the man or the woman who has no home! Further, home is a political safe guard The safety of the state must be built on the safety of the home. Why cannot France come to a placid repub lic? MacMahon appoints bis ministry, and all France is aquake lest the repub lic be smothered. Gambetta dies, and there are hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen who are fearing the return of a monarchy. Thu Dreyfus case is at this moment a sin inhering earthquake under Paris. France, as a nation, lias not the rigid kind of a Christian home. The Christian hearthstone is the only hearthstone for a republic. The virtues cultured in the family circle are an ab solute necessity for the state. If there be not enough moral principle to make the family adhere, there will not he enough political principle to make the state adhere. No home means the Goths and Vandals, means the Nomads of Asia, means the Numidiuns of Africa, changing from place to place according as the pasture happens to change. Con founded be all those babels of iniquity which would overpower and destroy the home I Thu sumo storm that upsets the ship in which tiie family sail will sink the frigate of the constitution. Jails and penitentiaries and armies and na vies are not our best defense. The door of the home is the best fortress. House hold utensils are our best artillery, and the chimneys of our dwelling houses are the grandest monuments to safety and triumph. No homo, no republic I Further, home is a school Old ground must be turned np with subsoil plow, and it must be harrowed and relmrrow- ed, and then thfc crop will not be as largo as that of the new ground with less culture. Now. youth and childhood are new ground, and all the influences thrown over their heart and life will come np in after life luxuriantly Every time yon have given a smile of appro bation ail the good cheer of your life will come up again in the geniality of your children And every ebullition of anger and every uncontrollable display of indignation will be fuel to this dis position 20 or 80 or 40 years from now —fuel for a bad fire a quarter of a cen tury from this. Yon praise the intelli gence of your child too much sometimes when you think ho is not aware of it, and yon will see the result of it before 10 years of ago in his annoying affecta tions. Yon praise his beauty, supposing he is not large enough to understand what you say. and you will find him standing on a high chair before a flat tering mirror. The Seed* of Character. Words and deeds and example are the seed of character, and children are very apt to be the second edition of their parents. Abraham begat Isaac, so virtue is apt to go down in the ances tral line, but Herod begat Archelaus, so iniquity is transmitted. What vast responsibility comes upon parents in view of this » abject I Oh, make your home the brightest place on earth if you would charm your children to tho high path of virtue and rectitude and religion. Do not always turn the blinds the wrong way. Let the light, which puts gold on tho gen tian and spots the pansy, pour into your dwellings. Do not expect tho lit tle feet to keep step to a dead march. Do not cover up your walls with such pictures as Weet'c “Death on a Pale Horse” or Tintoretto’s “Massacre of the Innocents.” Rather cover them, if you have pictures, with ‘‘TheHawking Party,” and “The Mill by tho Moun tain Stream,” and “The Fox Hunt,” and the “Children Amid Mowers," and the “Harvest Scene,” and “Tho Satur day Night Marketing. ” Get you no hint of cheerfulnesk from grasshopper's leap and lamb’s frisk and quail’s whis tle and gurrnlone streamlet, which from the roi'k at the moantain top clear down to the meadow ferns under the shadow of the steep comes looking to see where it can find tho steepest place to leap off at and talking just to hear itself talk? If all the skies hurtled with tempest and everlasting storm wandered over the seii and every mountain stream were raving mad, frothing at tho month with mud foam, and there were noth ing but simooms blowing amofiar the hills, and there were ueitiier lark's carol nor humming bird’s trill nor wa terfall’s dash, but only bear’s bark and panther’s scream and wolf’s howl, then you might well gather into your homes only tho shadows. But when God has strewn the earth and the heavens with beauty and with gladness let us take Into our borne circles all innocent hilar ity, all brightness and all good cheer. A dark home makes had boys and bad girls iu preparation for bud men and bad women. Above all. my friends, take into your homes Chrietiun principle. Can it be that iu any of the comfortable homes whose inmates I confront the voice of prayer is never lifted? What! No sup plication at night for protection ? What! No thanksgiving iu tho morning for care? How, my brother, my sister, will you answer God in the day of judg ment with reference to your children? It is a plain question, and therefore I ask it In tho tenth chapter of Jeremiah God says ho will pour out his fury upon the families that call not upon his name. Oh, parents, when you are dead and gone and the moss is covering tho inscription of the tombstone, will your children look back and think of father and mother at family prayer? Will they take the old family Bible and open it and see the mark of tears cf contri tion and tears of consoling promise wept by eyes long before gone out into darkness? Oh, if you do not inculcate Christian principle in the hearts of your children, and you do not warn them against evil, and you do not in vite them to holiness and to God. and they wander off into dissipation and into infidelity, and at last make ship wreck of their immortal soul, on their deathbed and in the day of judgment they will curse you! Early Rpcollectionx. Seated by the register or tho stove, what if on the wall should come out the history of your children! What a history—the mortal and immortal life of your loved ones! Every parent is writing the history of his child. Ho is writing it, composing it into a song or pointing it with a groan. My mind runs back to one of the best of early homes. Prayer like a roof over it Peach like an atmosphere in it Parents personifications of faith in trial and comfort in darkness. The two pillars of that earthly homo long crum bled to dust But shall I ever forget that early home? Yes. when the flower forgets the sun that warmed it. Yes, when the mariner forgets the star that guided him. Yes. when love has gone out on tho heart’s altar and memory has emptied its urn into forgetfulness. Then, the homo of my childhood, I will forget tilde. The family altar of a fa ther’s importunity and a mother’s ten derness, the voices of affection, tho fu neral of our dead, tho father and moth er with interlocked arms like intertwin ing branches of trees making a per petual arbor of love and peace and kind ness. Then I will forget thee—then, and only then. Yon know, my brother, that u hundred times you have been kept out of sin by tho memory of such a scene as I have been describing. You have often had raging temptations, but you know what has held you with su pernatural grasp. I tell you a man who has had such a good luune as that never 1mm gets over it. and a mw who has hud a bad early home never gets over it. Again, home is a type of heaven. At our best estate wo are only pilgrims and strangers here. “Heaven is our homo.” Death will never knock at the door of that mansion, and in all that country there is not a single grave. How glad parents are in the holidays to gather their children home again 1 But I have noticed that there is almost always a son or a daughter absent— absent from home, perhaps absent from the country, perhaps absent from the world Oh. how glad cur Heavenly Fa ther will lie when he gets all his chil dren home with him in heaven! And how delightful it will be for brothers and sisters to meet after long separa tion! Once they parted at the door of the tomb, now they meet at the door of immortality. Once they saw only “through a glass, darklynow it is face to face—corruption, incorruption: mortality, immortality. Where are now all their sins and sorrows and troubles? Overwhelmed in the Red sea of death, while they pass through dry shod. Gates of pearl, capstones of amethyst, thrones of dominion do not stir my soal so much us the thought of home. Once there, let earthly sorrows howl like storms and roll like seas. Home I Let thrones rot and empires wither. Home! Let the world die in earthquake strug gle and be buried amid procession of planets and dirge of spheres. Home I Let everlasting ages roll in irresistible sweep. Home! No sorrow. No crying. No tears. No death. But home, sweet borne, beautiful homo, everlasting nomo, home with each other, home with an gels. home with God! Dream of n Far Country. One night, lying on my lounge when very tired, my children all around about me, iu full romp and hilarity and laughter—on tho lounge, half awake and half asleep—I dreamed this dream; 1 was in a fur country. It was not Persia, although more than orien tal luxuriance crowned tho cities. It was not tho tropics, although more than tropical fruitfulness filled the gar dens. It was not Italy, although more than Italian softness filled the air. And I wandered around looking for thorns and nettles, hut I found that none of thorn grow there. And 1 saw tho sun rise, and 1 watched to see it set, hut it sank -uot. And I saw the people in holi day attire, and I said, “When will they put off this and put on workmen’s garb, and again delve in the mine and swel ter at the forge?" But they never put off the holiday attire. And I wandered in tho suburbs of the city to find the pluco whore the dead sleep, and I looked all along tho lino of the beautiful hills, the place where the dead might most peacefully sleep, and I saw towers and castles, but not a mausoleum; or a monument, or a whitu slab could I see. And I wont into the chapel of the great town, and I said, “Where dp the poor worship and where are the bard benches on which they sit?” And the answer was made me, “We have no poor in this country. ” And then I wandered out to find the hovels of the destitute, and I found mansions of amber and ivory and gold, but not a tear could I see. nut u sigh could 1 hoar. And 1 was bewildered, and I sat down under the branches of u great tree, and I said. “Where urn 1 and whence comes all tills scene?" And then out from among ihe leaves and up tho flowery paths ami across tho broad streams there came a beautiful group thronging all about me, and as I saw them come I thought I knew their step, and as they shouted I thought I know their voices, but then they wire so gloriously arrayed in apparel such as I had never before witnessed that I bowed as stranger to stranger. But when again they clapped their hands and shouted, “Welcome, welcome," the mystery all vanished, and I found that time had gone and eternity had come, and we were all together again in our new home in heaven, and I looked around and I said. “Are wo all hero?" and the voices of many generations responded, "All here!” And while tears of glad ness were running down our cheeks, and the branches of the Lebanon cedars were clapping their hands, and the towers of the great city were chiming thoir welcome wo all together began to leap and shout and sing, “Homo, home, borne I” The Mont Healthful Hcalonn. Dr Alfred Russell Wallace says in tho London Chronicle that tropical re gions. as a whole, are more conducive to health than the temperate regions. He attributes his own long continued good health (and he is now 75) to 12 years' residence in the tropics when he was a young man and threatened with lung diseii.se. Tho pure, warm air re stored him to a permanently sound con dition He says European soldiers in India have better health than the sed entary native classes. British soldier* in the Sudan stand up to tho work; thousands of Australian gold miner* endure intense heat, and Hollander* have flourished for generations in the Dutch colonies. He believes the region on each side of the equator for a thousand miles to be “the most healthy and the most en joyable abode for man, where, with tha least labor, he can obtain the greatest amount of necessaries, tho comforts and tho luxuries of life, and can at the same time develop and cultivate his higher nature. ’’ But work, he adds, is neces sary to health there as elsewhera Millions Given Away.
