[(.'opyrlght, Louis Klopsch, 1S99.]
Washinoton, Aug. 20.-—At tlds sea
son of the year, when all who can get
a vacation are taking it, this discourse
of Dr. Talmngc Is suggestive and ap
propriate. The text is John v, 2, 3: "A
pool, which is called iu the Hebrew
tongue Dethesda, having live porches.
In these lay a great multitude of Im
potent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water.”
Outside the city of Jerusalem there
was a sanative watering place, the
popular resort for invalids. To this
duy there is a dry basin of rock which
shows that there may have been a
pool there 300 feet long, 130 feet wide
ami To feet deep. This pool was sur
rounded by five piazzas, or porelies, or
bathing houses, where the patients tar
ried until the time when they were to
slop into the water. So far as reiu-
vlgoratiou was concerned it must have
been a Saratoga and a Long Branch on
a small scale, a Leamington and a
Brighton combi nod—mod leal and thera
peutic. Tradition says that at a cer
tain season of the year there was nu
otlioer of the government who would
go <lown to that water and pour in it
some healing quality, and after that
the people would come and get the
medication, but I prefer the plain
statement of Scripture that at a cer
tain season an angel came down and
stirred up or troubled the water, and
then the people came and got the heal
ing. That angel of Hod that stirred up
the Judaean watering place had ids
counterpart in the angel of healing
who in our day steps into the mineral
waters of Congress, or Sharon, or Sul
phur Springs, or into the salt sea at
Cape May ami Nahaut, where multi
tudes who are worn out with commer
cial and professional anxieties, ns well
as those who are afllicted with rheu
matic, neuralgic and splenetic dis
eases, go and are cured by the thou
sands. These blessed Bethosdas are
scattered all up and down our country.
The Vacation Season.
We are at a season of the year when
rail trains are laden with passengers
and baggage on their way to the moun
tains and the lakes and the seashore.
Multitudes of our citizens are away
for a restorative absence. The city
heats are pursuing the people with
torch and fear of sunstroke. The long,
silent halls of sumptuous hotels are all
abuzz with excited arrivals. The
antlers of Adirondack deer rattle un
der the snot of city sportsmen. The
trout make fatal snap at the hook of
adroit sportsmen, who toss their spot
ted brilliance into the game basket.
The baton of the orchestral leader taps
the music stand on the hotel green,
and Amerfean life lias put on festal
array, and the rumbling of the ten
pin alley, and the crack of the ivory
balis on the green itaized billiard ta
bles, and the Jolting of the barroom
goblets, and the explosive uncorking of
the champagne bottles, and the whirl
and the rustle of the ballroom dance,
and the clattering hoofs of the race
course and other signs of social dis
sipation tit test that t lie season for the
great American watering places Is in
full play. Music! Flute and drum
and cornet-a-piston and slapping cym
bals wake tiie echoes of the mountains.
Clad am 1 that fagged out American
life for the most part lias an oppor
tunity to rest and that nerves racked
and destroyed will find a Rethesda.
I believe in watering places. They
recuperate for active service many
who were worn out with trouble or
overwork. They are national rcstora-
stives. Let not the commercial firm be
grudge the clerk, or the employer the
journeyman, or the patient the physi
cian, or the church its pastor, a season
of inoccupation. Luther used to sport
with his children; Edmund Burke used
to caress Ids favorite horse; Thomas
Chalmers, iu the dark hour of the
church’s disruption, played kite for
recreation—so 1 was told by his own
daughter—and tin* busy Christ said to
the busy apostles, "Come ye apart
awhile into the desert and rest your
selves.” And I have observed that
they who do not know how to rest do
not know how to work. But 1 have to
declare this truth today that some of
our fashionable watering places are
the temporal and eternal destruction of
"a multitude tiiat no man can num
ber,” and amid the congratulations of
this season and the prospect of the de
parture of many of you for the country
1 must utter a warning, plain, earnest
and unmistakable.
Take Piety Atonic.
The first temptation that Is apt to
hover iu tlds direction is to leave your
piety at home. You will send the dog
and cat and canary bird to be well
cared for somewhere else, but the
temptation will he to leave your re
ligion in the room with the blinds
down and the door boiled, and then
you will come hack in flie autumn to
find that It Is starved and suffocated,
lying stretched on the rug stark dead.
There is no surplus of piety at the wa
tering places. I never knew any one
to grow very r nidly in grace at the
Catskill Mountain House, or Sharon
Springs, or the Falls of Montmorency.
It is generally the case that the Sab
bath is more of a carousal than any
other day, and there are Sunday walks
and Sunday rides and Sunday excur
sions. Elders ami deacons and minis-
ters of religion who are entirely con
sistent at home, sometimes when the
Sabbath dawns on them at Niagara
Falls or the White mountains, take a
day to themselves. If they go to the
ehureh, it is apt to be a sacred pamdu,
i and the discourse. Instead of being a
| plain talk about the soul, is apt to be
\\ hat is culled a crack sermon that Is,
; some discourse piekod out of the ef-
i fusions of the year as the one most
1 adapted to excite admiration, and iu
i those churches, from the way the
| ladies hold tliejr fans, you know that
they are not so much impressed with
i the heat its with the picttiresqueuess
: of half disclosed Icalures. Four puny
| souls stand in the organ loft amt squall
' a turn- that uohody knows, and wor
shipers with $2,Ono worth of diamonds
, on the right lian I drop a cent Into the
uoor box, ami then the benediction Is
pronounced, and the farce Is ended.
The toughest tiling ) ever tried to do
was to he good at a watering place.
The air Is bewitched with the “world,
the flesh and the devil.” There are
Christinas who in three or four weeks
In such a place have had such terrible
rents made in their Christian robe that
they had to keep darning It until
Christmas to get it mended.
The health of a great many people
makes an annual visit to some mineral
spring nu absolute necessity, hut take
your Bible along with you aud take nn
hour for secret prayer every day,
though you be surrounded by guffaw
and saturnalia. Keep holy the Sab
bath, though they deride you as a
bigoted Puritan. Stand oiT from gam
bling hells uuA those other institutions
which propose to imitate on tills side
the water the Iniquities of Baden
Baden. Let your moral and your im
mortal health keep pace with your
physical recuperation and remember
that all the sulphur and chalybeate
springs cannot do you so much good us j
the healing, perennial flood that breaks ,
forth from the “Bock of Ages.” This |
may be your last summer. If so. make '
it a lit vestibule of heaven.
Turf AlioiiiinatIon.
Another temptation hovering around j
nearly all our watering places is the
horse racing business. We all admire
the horse, lint we do not think that its
beauty or speed ought to lie cultured
at the expense of human degradation.
The horse race is not of such impor
tance as the human race. The Bible
intimates that a man is better than a
sheep, and I suppose he is better than
a horse, though, like Job’s stallion, ills
neck tie clothed with thunder. Horse
races in olden times were under the
ban of Christian people, and in our
day the same institution lias come up
under fictitious names. And it is call
ed a ‘‘summer meeting,” almost sug
gestive of positive religious exercises.
And it is called an “agrfculturul fair,”
suggestive of everything that is im
proving In the art of farming. But
under these deceptive titles are the
same cheating, and the same betting,
ami the same drunkenness, and the
same vagabondage, ami the same
abomination that were to he found
under the old horse racing system.
1 never knew a man yet who could
give himself to the pleasures of the
turf for a long reach of time and not
lie battered in morals. They hook up
their spanking team and put on t’.ieir
sporting cap and light their cigar and
take the reins and dash down on the
road to perdition! The great day at
Saratoga and Brighton Beach and
Cape May and nearly all the other wa
tering places is the day of the races.
The hotels are thronged, every kind of
equipage is taken up at au almost fab
ulous price, and there are many re
spectable people mingling with jock
eys and gamblers and libertines and
foul mouthed men and flashy women.
The bartender stirs up the brandy
smash. The bets run high. The
greenhorns, supposing all Is fair, put
in their money soon enough to lose it.
Three weeks before the race takes
place the struggle is decided, and the
men iu the secret know on which steed
to bet their money. The men on the
horses riding around long ago arrang
ed who shall win. Leaning from the
stand or from the carriage are men and
women so absorbed in the struggle of
bone and muscle and mettle that they
make a grand harvest D>r the pick
pockets, who carry off the poeketbooks
and the portemouuales. Men looking
on see only a string of horses with
their riders flying around the ring, but
there is many a man on that stand
whose honor and domestic happiness
and fort tine—white mane, white foot,
white flank—are In the ring, racing
with Inebriety and with fraud and
with profanity and with ruin—black
neck, black foot, black flank. Neck
and neck go the leaders in that moral
Epsom. White horse of honor, black
horse of ruin. Death says, "I will bet
on the black horse.” Spectator says,
"I will bet on the white horse.” The
white horse of honor a little way
ahead. The black horse of ruin, Satan
mounted, all the time gaining on him.
Spectator breathless. They put on
the lash, dig iu the spurs. There! They
are past the stand. Sure. Just as I
expected it. The black iiorse of ruin
lias won the race, and the galleries of
darkness “Huzza, huzza!” and the
devils come in to pick up their wagers.
Ah, my friends, have nothing to do
with horse racing dissipations this
summer!
A Timely WurnliiK.
Long ago the English government
pot through looking to the turf for tlia
dragoon and the light cavalry horse.
They found out that the turf depre
ciates the stock, and it is worse yet
for men. Thomas Hughes, the mem
ber of parliament and the author
known all the world over, hearing that
a new turf enterprise was being start
ed in this country, wrote a letter in
which he said, “Heaven help you, then,
for of all the cankers of our old civ
ilization there Is nothing in this coun
try approaching in unblushing mean
ness, in rascality holding its head high,
to tills belauded institution of the
British turf.” Another famous sports
man writes, “How many tine domains
have been shared among these hosts
of rapacious sharks during the last
200 years, and, unless the system he
altered, how many more are doomed
to fall into the same gulf’/” With the
bullflghts of Spain and the bear bait
ings of the pit may the Lord Hod an
nihilate the infamous aud accursed
Iiorse racing of England and AmcricaJ
I go further aud speak of another
temptation tkiU hovers over the water
ing place, and that is the temptation
to sacrifice physical strength. The
modern Rethesda, just like tills Rcthes-
du of the text, was intended to re
cuperate the physical health, and yet
how many come from the watering
places their health absolutely destroy
ed! City simpletons boasting of hav
ing imbibed 20 glasses of Congress wa
ter la-fore breakfast. Families accus
tomed to go to bed at to o'clock at
night gossiping until 1 or 2 o’clock in
the morning. Dyspeptic*, usually very
cautious alMiut their health, mingling
Ice creams and lemons ami lobster
salads ami cocoanuts until the gastric
Juices lift up all their voices of lamen
tation and protest. Delicate women
and brainless young men dancing
themselves into vertigo aud catalepsy.
Thousands of men and women coming
back ffoiq our watering places in the
autumn \Gtli the foundations laid fop
Ailments that will last them ail ttieiv
life long. You know as well as I do
that this Is the simple truth. In the
summer you say to your good health:
"Hoodby. 1 am going to have a gay
time now for a little while. I will be
very glad to see you again iu the au
tumn.” Then Iu the aiitumn, when
you are hard at work In your office or
store or shop or counting room, Good
Health will come in and say: “(Joodby.
1 am going.” .Y<m say, “Where are you
goingV" •‘Oh,” says Hood Health, “1
am going to take a vacation!” It Is a
poor rule that will not work both
ways, and your good health will leave
you choleric and splenetic and ex
hausted. You coquetted with your
good health in the summer time, and
your good health is coquetting with
you in the winter time. A fragment
of Paul’s charge to the jailer would
be nn appropriate Inscription for the
hotel register in every watering place,
"Do thyself no harm.”
Society Artificial.
Another temptation hovering around
the watering place is the formation, of
hasty and lifelong alliances. The wa
tering places are responsible for more
of the domestic Infelicities of this
country than nearly all other things
combined. Society is so artificial there
that no sure judgment of character
can be formed. They who form com
panionships amid such circumstances
go Into a lottery where there are 20
blanks to onw prize. In the severe tug
of life you want more than glitter and
splash. Life is not a ballroom, where
the music decides the step and how
and prance and graceful swing of long
train can make up for strong common
sense. You might ns well go among
the gayly painted yachts of a summer
regatta to find war vessels as to go
among the light spray of the summer
watering plitee to find character that
can stand the test of the great strug
gle of human life. In the battle of
life you want a stronger weapon than
a lace fun or a croquet mallet. The
load of life is so heavy that iu order
to draw it you want a team stronger
than that made up of a masculine
grasshopper and a feminine butterfly.
If there is any man in the communi
ty who excites my contempt and who
ought to excite the contempt of every
man and woman it is the soft handed,
soft headed dude, who, perfumed until
the air is actually sick, spends his
summer iu striking killing attitudes
and waving sentimental adieux and
talking infinitesimal nothings aud find
ing Ills heaven iu the set of a lavender
kill glove. Boots as tight as an inquisi
tion. Two hours of consummate skill
exhibited In Hie tie of a flashing era-
vat. His conversation made up of
"Alls!” and “Uhs!” and “He lies!”
There is only one counterpart to such
a man as that, ami that Is the frothy
young woman at the watering place;
her conversation made up of French
moonshine; what she lias in her head
only equaled by what she has on her
hack; useless ever since she was horn
and to be useless until she is dead un
less she becomes nn Intelligent Chris
tian. \Ve may admire music ami fair
faces ami graceful step, but amid the
heartlessness and the inflation mid the
fantastic influences of our modern wa
tering places beware how you make
lifelong covenants.
Ilitncfiil liiterntnre.
Another temptation that hovers over
the watering place is that of baneful
literature. Almost every one starting
off for the Hummer takes some reading
matter. It is a book out of the libra
ry or off the bookstand or bought of
Hie hoy hawking books through the
cars. 1 really believe there Is more
pestiferous trash read among the in
telligent classes In July aud August
than in all the other ten months of
the year. Men and women who at
home would not lie satisfied with a
book that was not really sensible I
find sitting on hotel piazza or under
the trees reading hooks the index of
which would make them blush if they
knew that you knew what the hook
was. “Oh,” they say. “you must have
intellectual recreation!” Yes. There
is no need that you take along to a
watering place “Hamilton's Metaphys
ics” or some ponderous discourse ou
the eternal decrees or “Faraday’s
Philosophy.” There are many easy
books that are good. You might as
well say. "1 propose now to give a lit
tle rest to my digestive organs, and in
stead of eating heavy meat and vege
tables 1 will for a little while take
lighter food, a little strychnine and a
few grains of ratsbane.” Literary
poison in August Is as had as literary
poison iu December. Mark that. Do
not let the frogs of a corrupt printing
press jump into your Saratoga trunk
or White mountain valise. Are there
not good books that are easy to road
books of entertaining travel, books of
congenial history, hooks of pure fun.
hooks of poetry, ringing with merry
canto; books of fine engravings, books
that will rest the mind as well as puri
fy the heart aud elevate the whole life!
There will not be an hour between this
and your death when .\oii can afford
to read a hook lacking iu moral prin
ciple.
Another temptation hovering all
around our watering places is intoxi
cating beverages. 1 am told that it is
becoming more and more fashionablo
for women to drink. I care not how
well a woman may dress, if she lias
taken enough of wine to flush tier
cheek and put a glnsshioss on her eye
she is drunk. She may he banded into
a $2,r>i>0 carriage aud have diamonds
enough to astound the Tiffanys she is
drunk. She may be a graduate of the
best young ladies’ seminary and the
daughter of some man in danger of
being iio!|iinated for the presidency—
she is druuK. You may have u larger
vocabulary than I have, ami you may
any in rcgjrd to her that Hhe is “con
vivial,” or she is “merry,” or she Is
“festive,’’ or she Is “exhilarated,” but
you cannot with all your garlands of
verbiage cover up the plain fact that
it is au old fashioned case of drunk.
DuiiKern of
Now, the watering places are full of
temptations to men and women to tip
ple. At the close of the tenpin or bil
liard game they tipple. At the close of
(lie cotillon they tipple. Seated on the
piazza cooling themselves off they tip
ple. The tinged glasses come around
with Iii'IkIiI straws and they tipple.
First they take ‘‘light wines,” as they
call them, tmt "light wines” are heavy
enough to debase the appetite. There
Is not a very long road between eham-
pague at $.*> a bottle and whisky at 10
cents a glass. Hntnn has three or four
grades down whleli lie takes men to
destruction. One man lie takes up and
through one spree pitches him into
eternal darkness. This is a rare case.
Very seldom. Indeed, can you lind a
mao who will lie such a fool ns unit.
Satan will take another man to a
grade, to a descent at an angle about
like the Pennsylvania coal shoot or the
Mount Washington rail truck, and
shove him off. But that Is very rare.
When h man goes down to destruction,
Satan brings him to a plane. It Is al
most u level. The depression Is so
light Hint you can hardly see It. The
man does not actually know that he Is
on the down grade, and it tips only a
little toward darkness—just a little.
And the first mile It is claret, and the
second mile it Is sherry, and the third
mile it Is punch, and the fourth mile
it is ale. and the fifth mile It is whis
ky, and Hie sixth mile it is brandy,
and then it gets steeper aud steeper
and steeper until it Is Impossible to
stop. “Look not thou upon the wine
when It is red, when it glveth its color
in the cup, when it moveth itself
aright. At the last it biteth like a ser
pent and stingeth like nn adder.”
Tlie Safe Shelter.
Whether you tarry at home—which
will he quite as safe and perhaps quite
as comfortable—or go into the coun
try, arm yourself against temptation.
The grace of God.is Hie only safe shel
ter, whether in town or country. There
are watering places accessible to all of
us. You cannot open a hook of tiie
Bible without finding out some such
watering place. Fountains open for
sin and • ncleanness. Wells of salva
tion. Streams from Lebanon. A flood
struck out of tho rock by Moses.
Fountains In Hie wilderness discover
ed by Hagar. Water to drink and wa
ter to bathe in. The river of God,
which Is full of water. Water of
which If a man drink he shall never
thirst. Wells of water Iu tlie valley
of Baca. Living fountains of water.
A pure river of water as clear as crys
tal from under the throne of God.
These are watering places accessible
to all of us. We do not have a labori
ous packing up before start—only
the throwing away of our transgres
sions. No expensive hotel bills to pay.
It Is “without money and without
price.” No long and dusty travel be
fore we get there. It is only one step
away.
In California in five minutes I walk
ed around and saw ten fountains all
bubbling up, and they woce all dif
ferent, and in five minutes I can go
through tills Bilile parterre and find
you no bright, sparkling fountains bub
bling up into eternal lift*—healing and
therapeutic. A chemist will go to on-'
of these summer watering places and
take Hie water, and analyze it, and tell
you It contains so much of iron, and
so much of soda, and so much of lime,
and so much of magnesia. 1 come to
this gospel well, tlds living fountain,
and analyze Hie water, and 1 find that
Its ingredients are peace, pardon, for
giveness, hope, comfort, life, heaven.
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye”
to this watering place! Crowd around
tlds Hethesda. Oh, you sick, you lame,
you troubled, you dying, crowd around
tlds Rethesda! Step iu it, oh. step in
it! Tho angel of the covenant today
stirs the water. Why do you not step
In It? Some of you are too weak to
take a step in that direction. Then we
take you up in the arms of prayer and
plunge you clear under the wave, hop
ing that the cure may be as sudden
and as radical as with Captain Nan-
man, who. blotched and carhunclcd,
stepped into Hie Jordan and after the
seventh dive came up, Ids skin roseate
eomploxioncd as Hie flesh of a little
child.

Mr. Glimhy, “1 read on one of those

of the walk this inscription, done in
