Wahuington. June 11.—In thin «er-
mon Dr. Tahnngo d I scut see a topic
which will iuteruet douiestie circle*
everywhere. The text la Geacsia xili, 8
“Lat there be uo strife, l pruy thee,
between me and thee and between my
herdmen and thy herdiuen. Is not the
whole lund before theeY"
Uncle and nephew, Abram nud Let,
both pious, both millionaires, uud with
such large flocks of bleating sheep ami
lowing cnttle thnt their herdmen got
into n fight, perhaps alxiut ths beet pas
ture or about the best water privilege
or because the cow of one got hooked
by the horns of the other. Nut their
poverty of opportunity,but their wealth,
was the cause of controversy between
these two men. To Abram, the glorious
old Mesopotamian sheik, such contro
versy seemed absurd. It was like two
ships quarreling for sea room in tlie
middle of the Atlantic ocean. There
was a vast reach of country, cornfields,
vineyards, harvests and plenty of room
in illimitable acreage. “Now,” says
Abram, “let us agree to differ. Here
are the mouutaJu districts, swept by
tlie tonic sea breeze and with wide
reaching prospect, mid there is the
plain of the Jordan, with tropical
Inxuriauca You may have either.”
Lot, who.was not as rich as A brum,
and might have been expected to take
the second choice, made the first ■elec
tion and with u modesty that must
have made Abram smile said to him
"Yon may have the rocks and the
fine prospect; I will take the valley of
the Jordan, with all its luxuriance of
cornfields and the river to water the
flocks and the genial climate and the
wealth immeasurable.” Bo the contro-
ver.y was forever settled and great
sunled Abram carried out the sugges
tion of the text “Let there tie uo
strife, I pray thee, between me and
tliee, and between my herdmen und thy
herdmen Is not the whole land before
tbeeV"
Well, in this the last d«esde of the
nineteenth century and in this liean-
tiful land, which was called America,
after Americas Vespuclns, but should
have been called Columbia, after its
discoverer, Columbus, we have a wealth
of religions privilege and opportunity
that is positively bewildering. Churches
of all sorts of creeds and of all kinds of
government and all forms of worship
uud all styles of architecture—what
owolenee of e«olosUatic«l opportunity!
Now. white In doaulute regions there
m*y he only oac chwrA, ha the epaleot
dietrioC* of ttita eonniry there ie *uch a
imfusioa that there ought to be no
difSualty la making a select,hit. No
fight aboat vestment* or between litur
gical or uonltturglcal adherents, or
as to baptismal modes, or a handful of
water as compared with a riverful. If
Abram prefer* to dwell on tlie heights,
where Ue can get only a sprinkling from
the clouds, let him consent that Lot
have all the Jordan iu which to im
merse li'.’nself. “Let there be no strife,
I pray thee, between me and thee and
between my herdmen and thy herdmen.
Is not the whole land before theeY”
A it (fry DlMonaalo.i Deplored.
Especially 1b it unfortunate when
families allow angry discussion at the
breakfast or dining or ten table as to
which is the best church or denomina
tion, one at one end of the table saying
he could never endure the rigid doc
trines of Presbyterianism, one at the
other end responding that she never
could stand the forms of Episcopacy,
and one at one side of the table saying
he did not understand how anybody
could bear the noise in the Methodist
church, und another declaring all the
Baptists bigots. There are hundreds of
families hopelessly split on ecclesiasYi-
ciam, und in the middle of every discus
sion on such subjects there is a kindling
of indignation, and it needs some old
father Abram to come and put his foot
on the loaded fuse before the explosion
takes place and say: “Let there be no
strife, 1 pray thee, between me and thee
and between my herdmen uud thy herd-
men. Is not the whole laud before
thee?”
I undertake a subject never under
taken by any other pulpit, for it is an
exceedingly delicate subject, und if
not rightly handled might give serious
offense, but I approach it without the
slightest trepidation, for I am sure 1
have the divine direction in the mat
ters I propose to present. It is a tre
mendous question, asked all over Chris
tendom, often asked with tears and
sols and heart breaks und involving the
peace of families, the eternal happi
ness of many souls. In matters of
church attendance should the wife go
with the husband or the husband gw
with the wife?
First, remember that all the evan
gelical churches have enough truth iu
them to save the soul and prepare ns
for happiness on earth and in heaven
I will go with yon into any well se
lected theological library, and 1 will
show yon sermons from ministers in all
denominations that set forth man as a
sinner and Christ as a deliverer from
■in and sorrow. That is the whole gos
pel. (Jet that into your soul and yon
are fitted for the here and the here
after. There are differences, we admit,
and some denominations we like better
than others But suppose three or four
of ns mako solemn agreement to meet
each other a week from now in Chicago
on important business, and one gr.es by
the New York Central railroad, another
by the Erie railroad, another by the
Pennsylvania railroad, another by the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad One goes
this way because the mountains are
grander; another takes this because the
cars are more luxurious; another that
because the speed is greater; another
takes the other because he has long
been accustomed to that route, uud all
the employees are familiar. Ho far as
our engagement to meet is concerned it
makes no difference if we only get
there. Now, any one of the innumer
able evatigelirul denominations, if yon
practice its teaching although some of
(heir trains run on a broad gauge and
some on a narrow gauge—will bring
you out at the city of the New Jernan-
lem.
Hulr la Any (Tiura-li.
It beipg evident that yoa will bgsafe
■ - J -
in any of theev.ingeliinl (leiioininatioiH.
I proceed to remark, first if one of the
married couple lx- a Christian and tie-
othi r not. the one a ClU'i.-dian is hound
to i ■ any . diere to a church where t he
unconverted eom|siiiiou is willing to go.
if he or she will go to u i other. ^ ou
of the connubial p:utner.-diip are a
Christian. tOu are safe for the skies.
Then it is your first duty to secure tbo
etern d safety of your lifetime associate.
Is not the everlasting welfare of your
wife impenitent, or your husband im-
peuit, nt, of un re importance than
y<*ur churcli relationship? Is not
the condition iff yowr companion for
the next quadrillion of years n
might Ur consideration to you than the
gratification of your < cchrsihstical tasfe
for 4'J or SO years? A man or a woman
that would stop half a minute to weigh
preferences as to whether he or she had
better go with the unconverted com
panion to this or that church or denom
ination has no religion at all, and never
has had, and I fear never will have.
Yon are loaded up with what you sup
pose to be religion, but yon are like
Captain Frobisher who brought back
from his voyage of discovery a shipload
of what he supposed valuable minerals,
yet, instead of being silver and gold,
were nothing Imt common stones of the
field, to be hurled out as finally useless.
Mighty God! In all thy realm is
there one man or woman professing re
ligion, yet so stolid, so unfitted, so far
gone unto death that there would be
any hesitancy in surrendering all pref
erences before such an opportunity of
salvation and heavtnly reunion Y If
yon. a Christian wife, are an attendant
upon any church, and your unconvert
ed husband does not go there because
■Re does not like its preacher, or its
music, or its architecture, or it* un
comfortable crowding, and goes not to
any house of worship, but would go if
yon would accompany him somewhere
else, change your church nhitions.
Take your hymnbook home faith yon
today. Hay goodly to yoiv friends in
the neighboring pews, and go with him
to any one of a hundred churches till
his soul is saved und he joins you in the
march to heaven. More important than
that ring on the third finger of your
left hand it is that your heavenly. Fa
ther command the angel of mercy, con
cerning yarn' husband at his conversion,
as in the parable of old, “Put a ring cn
his hand. ”
Tlit- Dearest Sac rIII of.
No letb r of more importaneo ever
came to the great city of Corinth, situ
ated on what was culled the “Bridge of
the Sea,” and glistening with sculp
ture and gated with a -tyle of brass iho
magnificence of which the following
ages have not been able to successfully
imitate uud overshadowed by the Acro-
Corfnthns, a fortress of rock 3,000 feet
high—I say no letter ever ex me to that
great city of more importance than
that letter in which Paid puts the two
startling questions: “What knoweat
thou, O wife, whether thou aba It enve
thy htieband? Or bow knowest thou,
O man, whether thou shall save thy
wife?” Tiif dearest Mcrlflee on the
part of the one is cheap if it rescue the
other. Better go to the smallest, weak
est, most insigiiLffrajit church on earth
and he copartners in eternal bliss than
pass your earthiy membership in most
gory oufdv attractive (*|iijreli while your
companion stays outside of evangelical
privilege. BiTtcr ha\o the drowning
saved by a scow cr a sloop than let him
or her go down while yon sail by iu
the gilded cabins of a Majestic or Cam
pania.
Second remarki If both of the mar
ried couples be Christians, bat one is
so naturally constructed that it is inir
pos.-ible to enjoy the services of a par
ticular denoiulnatibn, and tho other is
not so sectanari or punctilious, let tho
one less particular go with tho other
who is very particular. As for myself,
1 feed as much at home in one denom
ination of evangelical Christians as an
other. and 1 think 1 must have been
born very near the line. 1 like tho
solemn roll of tho Episcopal liturgy,
and I like tho spontaneity of the Metho
dists and I liku the importance given to
the ordinance of baptism by the Bap
tists and I liko tho freedom of tho Con-
grcgatioualists and I like tho govern
ment and tlie sublime doctrine of the
Presbyterians and l like many of tlie
others just as mnfh as any 1 have men
tioned and I could happily livo and
preach and die and he buried from any
of them. But others are born with a
liking so stout, so unbending, so in
exorable for some denomination that H
is a positive necessity tfoey have tho ad
vantage of that one. What they were
intended to tie in ecclesiasticism was
written in the sides of their cradle, if
the father and mother had eyes keen
enough to see it. They would not stop
crying untii^hey had put in tlii-fr
Lands as a plaything a Westminster
Catechism or tlie Thirty-nine Articles.
Tlie whole current of their tempera
ment and thought and character-funs
^into one ^ct of religionists as naturally
as tlie James river into tlie Chesapeake.
It would he a torture to such persons to
be anywhere outside of that cue church.
Now, let the wife or husbifnd who is
not so constructed sacrifice the milder
preference for the one more inflexible
und rigorous. Let the grapevine follow
the* rugosities and sinuosities of the oak
or hickory. Abram, the richer in flocks
of Christian grace, should say to Lot,
who is built on a smaller scale- “Let
there be no strife, I pray thee, between
me and thee and between my herdmen
and thy herdmen. la not tho whole
land before thee?” As you can be edi
fied and happy anywhere, go with your
companion to thu church to which he
or she must go or be miserable.
Iu DiaVr.
Remark the third: If Loth the n.eir-
ri< d c iiiplo are very strong in their sec-
tarianisni, let them attend the different
Churches preferred. It is not necessary
that yon attend tiie same church. Re
ligion is between your conscience und
your God. Like Abram and Lot. a- :ce
to differ. YvIn a on Sabbath morning
yon come ent of your home together
I and one goes one way and the ether the
other, heartily wi.-h each other q good
sermon and u time of profitable devo
tion. and when yon meet again at tlie
noonday repast let it he e\ ideut, each
to each, and to your children, und to
the hired help, that you have Ltth been
on the Mount of Transfiguration, al
though you went up by different paths,
and that you have lioth been fed by tho
bread of life, thongh kneaded by differ
ent hands in different trays and baked
in different ovens. “Hut how a boat tbo
children Y” 1 am often asked by scores
of parents. I -t them also make their
own eiioica. They will grow up with
reverence fpr both the denominjitious
represented by father and mother if
yon, by holy lives, commend those de-
iioininutioiis. If tlie father hvis tlie
better life, they will have the more f t
■vorahle opinion of hit denomination
I i tie* mother lives tin* bet t<T lit* I hey
will have the more favorable opinion of
her denomination. And some day both
the parents will, for at least one serv
ice, gu to the iJime church. The neigh
hors will .'•ay, “1 wonder what i* going
on today, to* I saw our neighbor and
his wife, who always go to d iff nop t
churches, going arm in arm to the same
sanctuary. ”
Well, 1 will tell yon what has brought
them togotlHT, arm in arm, tn tho
name altar. Sbmotbiag very important
has happened. Their sou is today unit-
lug with the church. He is standing iu
the aisle, taking the vows of a Chris
tian. He Lad been somewhat wayward,
and gave father and mother a guud deal
qf anxiety, but their prayers 1* e been
answered in his conversion, and ns he
stands in the aisle and the minister of
religion says, “Do you consecrate your
self to the God who made and mktwmd
you end do you promise to serve him
all your daysY” and with manly voice
be answers. “I do,” there is an April
shower iu the pew wlH’re father and
mother sit and a rainbow irf joy which
arches both their souls, that makes all
differences of ere irj infiuiteijjuial. And
the daughter who had been very world
ly and gay and thoughtless, puts her
life on thu . ,ar of consecration and as
the sunlight of that Sabbath streams
throa'gh the church window and falls
upon her brow and cheek, she looks like
their other dangb. \ whose face was
illumined with tin brightness of an
other world on the i g when the Lord
took her into his neavenly keeping
years ago.
Joy In tlie IPouxe of God.
I should not wonder, if, after all,
these parents pass the evening of their
life in the saiiie chflri h, all ^iftcyouces
of church preference overcome by t!i»
joy of being iu the house of God where
their children wete prepaved for useful
ness and heaven. But I can give you a
recipo for ruining your children.
Angrily contend in the household t!Lat
your church is right and the church of
your companion is wrong Bring sneer
and caricature to emphasize your opin
ions, and your children vill make up
their minds that religion i; a shusi, and
they will have none of it. In the north
east storm of domestic controversy the
rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley
will not : row. Fight about i^mstolic
succession, fight about elfeot' n and free
agency, light about baptism, light about
the bishopric, fight abetft pAwu and
surplice, end the religious prospects
your children will ho left dead on the
held. You will be as unfortunate ns
Charles, Duke of Burgundy, who In
battle lo*jt a diamond the value of a
kingdom, f >r iff your fight you will lose
the* jewel of salvation for your entire
household. This is nothing against the
advocacy of w.ur own religion thoorlen

Take a hint from astronomy. The
Ptolemaic system made tho onrth the
center of the solar system, and every-
tiifng was thought to turn round the
earth, l^-.t the Copernicau system cume
and mu fie tho sin tho center around

makes his little belief tho center of ev
erything. but tho large souled Christian
makes the Bun of Righteousness the
centes. and all denominations, without
any clashing and each in its own sphere,
revolving around-dt. Over the tomb of
Dean Stanley in Westminster abbey is
the pa*-,. ,e of Scripture, “Thy com
mandment.-! are exceeding broad.” Let
no man crowd us on to a path like tho
bridge Ai Simt, which the Mohamme
dan thinks leads from this world over
tho abyss of hell into puradisi, the
breadth of the bridge less than tho web
of a starved spider or the edge of a
sword or razor, off tiie edges of which
many fall. No. While the way is not
wide enough to take with us any of dpr
sins, it is wide enough for all Christim
believers to pass without peril into
everlasting safety. But do not any cf
yon depon 1 upon what yon call ”»
sound creed’ for salvation. A mnu may
own all the statutes of the state of New
York and yet not be a lawyer, and a
man may own all the best medical
treatises and not he a physician, and a
man may own all the best works an
painting and architecture and not be
»ither painter or architect, and a man
may own all the sound creeds in the
Lurid und yet not lie a Christian Not
•hut you have in your head and on
your tong.ie, hut in your heart and In
your lift, will decide everything.
“Il.iui; Mill Yonr I.IkIiIh.”
In old. u times in England before Jjio
modern street lamps were invented ev
ery hotiM holds* was expected to have a
lantern s .'pended in front of his house,
and the cjyof tlie watch® *u iu London
as they went along at eventide was,
“ILuig ont jour lights!” Instead of
disputing in your home about the dif
ferent kinds of lantern, as a watchman
on the walls of Zion 1 cry, “Let yaiir
light so sliino before men that they,
seeing your good works, may glorify
your Fail., r which is in heaven 1” Hang
out your lights! You may have a thou-
nnd idem* about religion aul yet not
the gftuat idea of pardoning mercy. It
is not the number of your ideas, bnt
the greatness of them. A mouse hath
ten offsprings in her nest, while the
lioness hath fine in her bur. All ideas
about forms and ceremonies and church
government put together are not worth
tin; one L! u of getting to heaven your
self and t iking your family with you.
But do not reject Christianity, as
many do, because there are so many
sects. Bl inding iu Westminster hotel,
London, 1 looked out of the window
and saw three clocks, ns near as I can
remember, one on the puiliami nt house,
another < *i St. Margaret’s chapel, an
other on Westminster abbey, and they
j were all different. One said 13 o’clock
j at noon, another said five minutes ho-
t< r* I J. n other said live initiates after
12. I in' ,iit as well have concluded |
that thi-iv is no siuii thing ns time, be- '
cause the three timepieces were differ
ent. as for yon to conclude that there
is no such thing as pure Christianity,
hecanso the churches differ in their
statement i,( it.
But h I us all rejoice that, although
part of < ir family may worship on
earth in < no church and part in an
other church, or, bowed at the same
altar iu a coui|iroiniHc of prefen-uce*,

story, hud as eagle. Sw »augbt it when
it was young, uud had brought it up
us far as he could like* a Comestic fowl.
Having, in God’s providence, logo over
to the other side of tbo world, he was
selling off everything. He wondered
what he should do with his eagle, and
the happy thought came to him that he
would not give it to anybody, lint would
give it back to itself—he would set it
free. And lie then opened the place iu
which it had been kept and brought it
to tho back green. How he was aston
ished! It walked about, feeling as If
this were rather bigger than its ordi
nary run, but that was all. He was
disappointed, and, taking tho big bird
in his arms, ho lifted it up and s«t it up
on his porden wall.
It turned and looked doim at hiinl
'IHie sun iiad boon obscured behind a
cloud. But jwst then the elofcd passed
away and the bright, warm beams
poured ouyt. The eajgle lifted its eyes
and pulled itself up. I wonder wfaot it
wua thinking? Can an eagl« recollect
tlie crags and cliffs, tiie reveling in the
tempests of long ago, tho joyous thun
dering and the flashily' lightnings?
Pulling ip*elf up, it hftod one wing and
stretched it out—"by prayer find sup

death uud will not busy a man until

This operation is very curious. While
the body is basug prepared for burial a
number of Miuu-Uza, including tho
mule relatives of the deceased, go out
to the appointed spot, bearffig a large
basket of eggs.
Stooping down, otto of the natives lets
an egg drop rcftly on the ground, if it
breaks, it is com*ldert*d an ill onion, and
another spot is selected. In this way ths

The first member of tin* reformed par
liament reproved by tin* chair t v un
seemly language was Daniel U'Gonnell,
tho great Iriwh agitator. The incident, )
which occurred in tlie lust week of the
meeting of tto house id' eomioous. isalso
remarkable for having evoked from tho
speaker a definite ruling on an interest
ing constitutional The a^eoeh
from tie* throve called attention,
tmong other thirur . to the insecurity of
life and properly in Ireland, and asked
for coercive measures for tho repression
of crime. In tho course of the debate
O’Connell characterized the speech from
tho throne as “brutal and bloody.”
Lord John Russell at one* moved,that
tho words be taken down. “Oh!” ex
claimed O'Connell, “when we speak of
Ireland and her wrongs it must bo
“In liendsman's key.
With bated breath unU whispering humble-
note.”
Lord John Russell objected to tho
word “bloody” being applied to a
speech which had, only a few days pro-
viously, been delivered by the king—
William IV—in per^n in the house of
lords. O’Con mil insisted that it was
not tho speech of the king, but the
speech of the ministers. The speaker
agreed with tho honorable and learned
member on the constitutional point, Imfc
informed him that his language was
not calculated to preserve order and do
coney of debate. The “bloody nnd brutal
