One thing does it and never fails. ; It is impossible to look young with the color of seventy years in your hair. Ayer’s Yip* permanently postpones the tell-tale signs cf age. Used according to directions it gradually brings back the color of youth. At fifty your hair may look as it did at fifteen. It thickens the hair also; stops it from falling out; and cleanses the scalp from dandruff.

A MIGHTY AGENCY FOR THE SALVA TION OF MANKIND. Picture* I'otcut I'or Uo.nl or Kvll n* the Subject* Are tiooil or lluil. Prulne For Amcricnn Ar(l*l*—Need of Art CJuIlcric*. [Copyright. Louis Klopseh, 1S90.] Washington, June 18.—Dr. Talmuge shows in this discourse how art may become one of the mightiest agencies for the elevation and salvation of the human race. The text is Isaiah ii, 12, 10, "The day of the Lord of hosts shall be • * * upon all pleasant pictures.” Pictures are by some relegated to the realm of the trivial, accidental, sentimental or worldly, but my text shows that Cod scrutinizes pictures, and, whether they are good or bad, whether used for right or wrong pur poses, Is a mutter of divine observa tion and arraignment. The divine mis sion of pictures is my subject. That the artist’s peucil and the engraver’s knife have sometimes been made sub servient to the kingdom of the bad is frankly admitted. After the ashes and scoria were removed from Her culaneum and Pompeii the walls of those cities discovered to the explor ers a degradation in art which cannot be exaggerated. Satan and all bis Imps have always wanted the linger ing of the easel; they would rather have possession of that than the art of printing, for types are not so po- leut and quick for evil as pictures. The powers of darkness think they have gained a triumph, and they have, when in some respectable parlor or public art gallery they can hang a can vas embarrassing to the good but fas cinating to the evil. It is not in a spirit of prudery, but backed up by God’s eternal truth, when 1 say that you have no right to hang in your art rooms or your dwell ing houses that which would be offen sive to good people if the figures pic tured were alive in your parlor and the guests of your household. A picture that you have to hang in a somewhat secluded place, or that in a public hall you cannot with a group of friends deliberately stand before and discuss, ought to have u knife stabbed into it at the top un«l cut clear through to the bottom, and a stout finger thrust in on the right side, tipping clear through to the left. IMiny the elder lost his life by going near enough to see the inside of Vesuvius, and the farther you can stand off from the burning crater of sin the better. Never till the hooks of the last day are opened shall we know what has been the dire harvest of evi. pictorials and unbecoming art galler ies. Despoil a man’s imagination and he becomes a mere carcass. The show windows of English and American cit ies, in which the low theaters have sometimes hung long lines of brazen actors and actresses in style insulting to all propriety, have made a broad path to death for multitudes of people. But so have all the other arts been at times suborned of evil. How lias mu sic been bedraggled? Is there any place so low down In dissoluteness that into it lias not been carried Da vid's harp, and Handel's organ, and Gottschalk’s piano, and Ole Bull's vio lin? and the flute, which though named after so insignificant a thing as the Sicilian eel, which has seven spots on the side like flute holes, yet for thou sands of years has had an exalted mis sion? Architecture, horn in the heart of him who made the worlds, under its arches and across Us floors, what bacchanalian revelries have been en acted! It is not against any of these arts that they have been so led into captivity! Pleaannt Picture*. What a poor world this would bo If it were not for what my text calls “pleasant pictures!” 1 refer to your memory and mine when 1 ask if your knowledge of the Holy Scriptures lias not been mightily augmented by the woodcuts or engravings in the old family Bible which father and mother rend out of and laid on the table in the old homestead when you were boys ami girls. The Bible scenes which wo all carry In our minds were not gotten from the Bible typology, but from the Bible pictures. To prove the truth of It in my own ease, the other day I took up the old family Bible which 1 inher ited. Sure enough, what I have car ried in my mind of Jacob's ladder was exactly the Bible engraving of Jacob's ladder, and so with Samson carrying off the gates of Gaza, Elisha restoring the Bhuuammite's sou, the massacre of the innocents, Christ blessing tittle children, the crucifixion and the last judgment. My Idea of all these is that of the old Bible engravings which I scanned before 1 could read a word. That Is true with nine-tenths of you. If I could swing open the door of your foreheads, I would find that you are walking picture galleries. The great Intelligence abroad about the Bible did not come front the general reading of the book, for the majority of the peo ple read It but little, If they read It at all; but all the sacred scenes have been put before the great masses, and not printer’s Ink, but the pictorial art, must have the credit of the achieve ment. First, painter’s pencil for the favored few, and then engraver’s plato or woodcut for millions on millions! What overwhelming commentary on the Bible, what re-enforcement for pa triarchs, prophets, apostles and Christ, what distribution of Scriptural knowl edge of all nations, in the paintings and engravings therefrom of Holman Hunt’s “Christ In the Temple,” Paul Veronese’s “Magdalen Washing the Feet of Christ," Raphael's “Michael the Archangel,” Albert Durcr’s "Drag on of the Apocalypse,” Michael An gelo’s “Plague of the Fiery Serpents," Tintoretto’s "Flight Into Egypt," Ru bens’ “Descent From the Cross,” Leonardo Da Vinci’s "Last Supi*er," Claude’s "yueep of Sheba," Bellini's “Madonna” at Milan. Orcagna’s "latst Judgment” and hundreds of miles of pictures, If they were put in line, Illus trating, displaying, dramatizing, Irra diating Bible truths until the Scrip tures are not today so much on paper as on canvas, not so mueh In ink as In all the colors of the spectrum. In forth from Ktrasshurg, Germany, there came a child that was to eclipse In speed and boldness anything and everything that the world had ever seen since the first color appeared on the sky at the creation, Paul Gustave I tore. At 11 years of age he published marvelous lithographs of his own. Bay ing nothing of what he did for Milton’s "Paradise Lost,” emblazoning It on the attention of the world, he takes up tin: hook of books, the monarch of literature, the Bible, and in his pic tures, "The Creation of Light,” "The Trial of Abraham's Faith, the Burial of Sarah,” "Joseph Sold by His Brethren,” “The Brazen Serpent," "Boaz and Ruth," "David and Go liath,” "The Transfiguration," “The Marriage In Cana," "Babylon Fallen" and 20"* Scriptural scenes in all, with a boldness and a grasp and almost su pernatural alllatus that make the heart throb and the brain reel and the tears start and the cheeks blanch and the entire nature quake with the tremen dous things of God and eternity and the dead. 1 actually staggered down the steps of the London Art gallery under the power of Dore’a "Christ Leaving the Praetorium.” Profess you to be a Christian man or woman and sis' no J divine mission in art and acknowledge j von no obligation either in I hanks to : God or man? Art'* Divine Mission. It is no more the word of God when put before us iu printer's ink than by skillful laying ou of colors or designs on metal through incision or corrosion. What a lesson in morals was presented by Hogarth, the painter, in his two pictures, "The Rake’s Progress” and “The Miser’s Feast,” and by Thomas Cole’s engravings of the “Voyage of Human Life” aud the "Course of Em pire,” aud by Turner’s “Slave Ship.” God iu art! Christ iu art! Patri archs. prophets and apostles in art! Angels iu art! Heaven iu art! The world and the olufreh ought to come to the higher appreciation of the divine mission of pictures, yet the authors of them have generally been left to semistarvatlon. West, the great painter, toiled in unappreciation till, being it great skater, while on the Ice he formed the acquaintance of General Howe of the English army, who, through coming to admire West us a clever skater, gradually came to appreciate as much that which he ac complished by Ids baud as by bis heel. Poussin, the mighty painter, was pur sued aud had nothing with which to defend himself against the mob but the artist's portfolio, which he -hold over his head to keep off the stones hurled at him. The pictures of Rich ard Wilson of England were sold for fabulous sums of money after bis death, but the living painter was glad to get for his “Alcyone” ft piece of Stiltou cheese. From 1(540 to 11113 there were 4,000 pictures willfully de stroyed. In the reign of Queen Eliza beth it was the habit of some people to spend much of their time in knock ing pictures to pieces. In the reign of Charles 1 it was ordered by par liament that all pictures of Christ be burned. Painters were so badly treated aud humiliated iu the begin ning of the eighteenth con.tury that they were lowered clear down out of the* sublimity of their art and obliged to give accounts of what they did with their colors. The oldest picture in England, a portrait of Chaucer, though now of great value, was picked out of a lumber garret. Great were the trials of Quentin Matsys, who toiled on from blacksmith’s anvil till, as a painter, he won wide recognition. Tiro first missionaries to Mexico made the fatal mistake of destroying pictures, for the loss of which art and religion must ever lament. But why go so far hack wheu iu tills year of our Lord to be a painter, except in rare occasions, means poverty and neglect, poorly fed, poorly clad, poorly housed, be cause poorly appreciated? Value of Art Gnllerfe*. When I hear a man is a painter, 1 have two feelings—one of admiration for the greatness of his soul ami the other of commiseration for the needs of his body. But so It has been in all departments of noble work. Some of the mightiest have been hardly be stead. Oliver Goldsmith had such a b!g patch ou the coat over his left breast that when he went anywhere he kept bis hat in his hand closely pressed over the patch. The world renown ed Bishop Asbury had a salary of $i>4 a year. Painters are not the only ones who have endured the lack of appreci ation. Let men of wealth take under their patronage the suffering men of art. They lift no complaint; they make no strike for higher wages. But with a keenness of nervous organiza tion which almost always character izes genius these artists suffer more than any one but <2od can realize. There needs be a concerted effort for the suffering artists of America, not sentimental discourse about what we owe to artists, but contracts that will give them a livelihood; for 1 am iu full sympathy with the Christian farmer who was very busy gathering his fall apples, ami some one asked him to pray for a poor family, the father of whom had broken his leg, and the busy farmer said: "I cannot stop now to pray, but you can go down into the cellar and get some corned beef and butter and eggs and potatoes. That is all I can do now.” Artists may wish for our prayers, hut they also want practical help from men who can give them work. You have heard scores of sermons for all other kinds of suffering men and wom en, hut we need sermons that make pleas for the suffering men aud women of American art. Their work Is more true to nature and life than some of the masterpieces that have become immortal on the other side of tin.* sea, hut it is the fashion of Americans to mention foreign artists and to know little or nothing about our own Copley aud Allston, and Inman and Grcc- nnngh, and Kensett. Let the atltuent liing out of their windows and Into tin* backyard valueless daubs on canvas aud call !n these spl. mild but unre warded men and tell them to adorn your walls, not only with tli.it which shall please the taste, but enlarge the minds and improve the morals and save the souls of those who gaze upon them. All American cities need great galleries of art, not only open annually for a few days on exhibition, but which shall stand open all tin* year round, and from early morning until 10o'clock at night and free to nil who would come and go. Duilil Art (Jnllrrlt-*. What a preparation for the wear and tear of the day a five minutes’ look iu the morning at some picture that will open a door into some larger realm tlinu that In which our population daily drudge! Or what a good tiling tin* half hoiir of artistic opportunity on the way borne in the evening from exhaustion that demands recuperation for mind and soul as well as body! Who will do for the city where you live what W. W. Corcoran did for Washington and what others have done for I’liiladelphih and Boston and New York? Men of wealth, if you are too modest to build and endow such a place during your lifetime, w\jy not go to your iron safe and take out your last will and testament and make a codicil that shall build for the city of your residence a throne for American art? Take some of that money that would otherwise spoil your children and build an art gallery that shall as sociate your name forever, not only with tlie gre*t masters of painting who arc gone, but with the great mas ters who are trying to live, and also win the admiration and love of tens of thousands of people who, unable to have line pictures of their own. would be advantaged. By your benefactions build your own monuments and not leave it to the whims of others. Some of the best people sleeping iu Green wood have no monuments at all, or some crumbling stones that in a few years will let the rain wash out name and epitaph, while some men whose death was the abatement of n nuisance have a pile of Aberdeen granite high enough for a king and eulogium enough to embarrass a seraph. Oli, man of large wealth, instead of leaving to the whim of others your monumental commemoration and epi- taphology, to he looked at when people are going to and fro at the burial cf others, build right down in the heart of our great city, or tlie city where you live, an immense free reading room or a free musical conservatory or a free art gallery, the niches for sculpture and the walls abloom with the rise aud fall of nations and lessons of courage for the disheartened and rest for the weary and life for ♦he dead, and 150 years from now you will be wielding influences in this world for good. How much better than white marble, that chills you if you put your baud ou it when you touch it in tlie cemetery, would be a monument iu colors, in beaming eyes, in living possession, iu splendors which under the chandelier would he glowing and warm and look ed at by strolling groups with cata logue iu hand, ou the January night when tlie necropolis where the body sleeps is all snowed under! The towel* of David was hung with 1,000 dented shields of battle, but you, oh man of wealth, may have a grander tower named after you, one that shall be hung not with the symbols of carnage, but with the victories of that art which was so long ago recognized iu my text as “pleasant pictures.” Oh, the power of pictures! 1 cannot de ride, ns seme have done. Cardinal Ma zarin. who, when told that he must die, took Ids last walk through the art gal lery of his palace, saying: "Must I quit all tills? Look at that Titian! Look at that Correggio! Look at that del uge of Carncci! Farewell, dear pic- t tires!” A Flit vernal l.niiKiinue. As the day of the Lord of hosts, ae cording to this text, will scrutinize tlif pictures, 1 Implore all parents to soil that in their households they have neither Iu book nor newspaper nor on canvas anything that will deprave. I'icttires are uo longer the exclusive possession of the atllueut. There is uot a respectable home in these cities that has uot specimens of woodcut or steel engraving, if uot of painting, aud your whole family will feel the moral uplifting or depression. Have nothing on your wall or in books that will familiarize the young with scenes of cruelty aud wassail. Have only those sketches made by artists iu ele* vnted moods and none of those scenes that seem the product of artistic du- lirium tremens. IMetures are uot only a strong hut a universal language. The human race is divided Into almof t as many languages as Hi ere are n.e- tions. but the pictures may speak to people of all tongues. Volapuk many have hoped, with little reason, would become a worldwide language. But the pictorial Is always a worldwide language, aud printers’ types have no emphasis compared with it. We say that children are fond of pictures; hut notice any man when he takes up u book aud you will see that the first tiling that he looks at is the pictures. Have only those iu your house that ap peal to the betttr nature. One en graving lias Koiuetimws decided an eternal destiny. Fuder the title of fine arts there have come here from France a class of pictures which elaborate argument has tried to prove Irreproachable. They would disgrace a barroom and they need to he confis cated. Your children will carry the pictures of their father’s house with them clear on to the grave, and, pass ing that marble pillar, will take them through eternity. Furthermore, let all reformers, and all Sabbath school teachers and all Christian workers realize that, if they would he effective for good, they must make pictures, if not by chalk ou blackboards, or kindergarten designs, or by pencil on canvas, then by words. Arguments art* soon forgotten, but pic tures, whether iu language or in colors, are what produce strongest effect*. Christ was always telling what a thing was like, and his sermon on the mount was a great picture gallery, beginning with a ski tdi of a “city on a hill that cannot be hid” and ending with a tempest beating against two houses, one oil the rock and the other on tlie sand. The parable of the prodigal sou, a picture; parable of tlie sower who went forth to sow, a picture; parable of tin* unmerciful servant, a picture; parable of the ten virgins, a picture; parable of the talents, a picture. The •world wants pictures, and the appe tite begins with the child, who con sents to go early to bed If the mother will sit beside him and rehearse a sto ry, which is only a picture. When we see bow much has been accomplished iu secular directions by pictures — Shakespearo's tragedies, a picture; Vic tor Hugo’s writings, ail pictures; John Buskin's and Tennyson's and Longfel low’s works, all pictures—why uot en list as fur as possible* for our churches and schools and reformatory work and evangelistic endeavor, the power of tbought that enu be put inp> word pic tures, If not pictures In color? Yea, why not all young men draw for them selves on paper with pen o'* pencil their coming career, of virtue if they prefer that, of vice if they prefer that. After matting the picture put it on tlie wall or paste it on the fly leaf of some favor- Ito book that you may have it before you. I read of a man who had been exe cuted for murder, and the Jailor found afterward a picture made on the wall of the cell by the assassin’s own hand, a picture of n flight of stairs. On the lowest step he had written: “Dis obedience to parents;” on the second, "Sabbath breaking;” on the third, “drunkenness and gambling:" on the fourth, “murder,” and on the fifth and top step, “a gallows.” If that man had made that picture before he took the first step, be never would have taken any of them! Qh, man. make another picture, a bright picture, an evangelic al picture and 1 will help you make It! I suggest six steps for this flight of stairs. On the first step write the words, "A nature changed by tin* Holy Ghost and washed in the blood of the lamb;” on the second step, "Industry and good companionship;" on the third step, “A Christian home with a family altar;” on the fourth step, "Ever wid ening usefulness;” on the fifth stop, “A glorious departure from this world;” ou the sixth step. “Heaven, heaven, heaven!” Write it three times, and let the letters of tlie one word be made up of banners, the second of coronets and the third of thrones! Promise me that you will do that, and I will prom ise to meet you on the sixth step, if the Lord will, through his pardoning grace, bring me there too. And here I am going to say a word of cheer to people who have never had a word »f consolation on that subject. There are men aud women iu this world by hundreds of thousands who have a fine natural taste and yet all their lives that taste has been sup pressed. aud although they could ap preciate the galleries of Dresden and Vienna and Naples far more than 1)09 people out of 1,000 who visit them, they may never go for they must sup port their households, and bread aud schooling for their'Children are of more Importance than pictures. Though fond of music they are com pelled to live amid discord; and though fond of architecture they dwell in clumsy abodes, aud though appreciative of all that engravings and paintings can do they are iu perpetual depriva tion. You are going, after you get on the sixth’step of that stairs just spok en of, to find yourselves iu the royal gallery of tlie universo, the concenter ed splendors of all worlds before your transported visum. In some way all the Ihrilliug scenes through which we aud the church of God have passed iu our earthly state will be pictured or brought to mind. At a cyclorama of Gettysburg a blind man who lost his sight In battle was with his ehild heard talking while standing before that picture. The blind man said to tlie daughter, “Are there at the right of the picture some regiments marching up a hill?” “Yes," she said. "Well.” said the blind man, "Is there a general on horseback lead ing them on?” “Yes,” she said. “Well, is there rushing down on these men a cavalry charge?" “Yes,” was the re ply. "And do there seem to be many dying and dead?” “Yes,” was the an swer. “Well, now, do you see a shell from the woods bursting near the wheel of a cannon?” "Yes,” she said. “Stop right there!" said the blind man. “That is the last thing I ever saw on earth! What a time it was, Jenny, when 1 lost my eyesight!” But when you, who have found life a hard battle, a very Gettysburg, shall stand in tlie royal gallery of heaven, and with your new vision begin to see and under stand that which iu your earthly blind ness you could not see at all, you will point out to your celestial comrades, perhaps to your own dear children who have gone before, the scenes of the earthly conflicts In which you par ticipated, saying: “There from that hill of prosperity I was driven hack; in that valley of humiliation I was wounded. There I lost my eyesight. That was the way the world looked when I last saw it.” But what a grand thing to get celestial vision and stand here before the cyclorama of all worlds while the rider on the white horse goes on “conquering and to conquer,” the moon under Ids feet and the stars of heaven for his tiara!
