[Copyright, I/Oiiln Klopsch. 18!»0.] WAsm.Nvio.'t, Sept. 24.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage gives prescrip tions for the prolongation of life and preaches the gospel of physical health. The text Is Psalms xei, 1G, “With long life will 1 satisfy him.” Through the mistake of its friends religion lias been chiefly associated with sick beds and graveyards. The whole subject to mauy people is odor ous with chlorine and carbolic acid. There pro people who cannot pro nounce the word religion without hear ing in it the clipping chisel of the tombstone cutter. It Is high time that this tiling were changed and that re ligion, instead of being represented its a luarse to carry out the dead, should be represented as a chariot In which tiie living are to triumph. Hcligion, so far from subtracting from one’s vitality, Is a glorious addi tion. It is sanative, curative, hygienic. It is good for ilie eyes, good for the ears, good for the spleen, good for the digestion, good for the nerves, good for the muscles. When David in anoth er part of the psalm prays that religion may he dominant, lie does not speak of it as a mild sickness or an emacia tion or an attack of moral and spiritual cinmp. lie speaks of it as “the saving health of till nations,” while (>od In the text promises longevity to the pious, saying, “With long life will 1 satisfy him.” The fact is that men and \vom?n die too soon. It is high time that reli gion joined the hand of medical science in attempting to improve human lon gevity. Adam lived 1130 years. Me thuselah lived 0(59 years. As late In the history of the world as Vespasian there were at one time in ids empire 45 peo ple 135 years old. So far down as the sixteenth century Peter Lartan died at 185 years of ;jfge. I do not say that re ligion will ever take the race back to antediluvian longevity, but I do say the length of life will be Increased. It is said in Isaiah, “The child shall die a hundred years old.” Now, if, ac cording to Scripture, the child is to be a hundred years old, may not the men and women reach to 300 and 400 and F»b0? The fact is that we are mere dwarfs and skeletons compared with some of the generations that are to come. Take the African race. They have been under bondage for centuries, (live them a chance, and they develop i Frederick Douglass or a ToussalnL L’Ouverture. And, if the white race shall lie brought from under the serf dom of sin, what shall he the body, what shall be die soul? Religion lias only just touched our world. (live it full |>o\vcr Jlor a few centuries, and who can tell what will be the strength of man and the beauty of woman and the longevity of all? Friend ot I.oiiki-v (<y. My design is to show that practical religion is the friend of long life. 1 prove it, lir.st, from the fact that it makes the care of our health a positive Christian duly. Whether we shall keep early or late hours, whether we shall take food digestible or indigestible, whether there shall be thorough or in complete mastication, are questions very often deferred to the realm of whimsicality. But the Christian man lifts this whole problem of JieaUh into the accountable and the divine. He says, "Cod lias given me this body, and lie lias called it the temple of the Iloiy Chost, and to deface its altars, or mar its walls, or crumble its pillars, is a Cod defying sacrilege.” He sees Cod’s caligraphy in every page, ana tomical and physiological. He says, "Cod has given me a wonderful body for noble purposes”—that arm with 32 curious bones wielded by 4G curious muscles and all under the brain’s teleg raphy, 350 pounds of blood rushing through the heart every hour, the heart in 21 hours heating 100,000 times, dur ing the 24 hours the lungs taking in 57 hogshead of air, and all this mech anism not more,mighty than delicate and easily disturbed and demolished. The Christian man says to himself, “If I hurt my nerves, if I hurt my brain, if 1 hurt any of my physical faculties, 1 insult Cod and call for dire rctributioif?’ “Why did Cod-tell tin* Levites not to offer to him in sac- rllico animals imperfect and diseased? lie meant to tell us in all the ages that we lire to offer to Cod our very best phys ical condition, and a man who through jrregular or gluttonous eating ruins his health is not offering to God such a saerilice. Why did Paul write for his cloak at Troas? Why should such a great mau as Paul he anxious about a thing so insiguilicant ur an overcoat? It was because he knew that with pneumonia and rheumatism he would not be worth half as much to Cod and (lie church as witlv respiration easy it ml foot free ' Cure oi the IIimIv, An Intelligent Christian man would .•onsider it an absurdity to kneel down ut night and pray and ask God's pro tection while at the same time he kent the windows o&-kls bedroom tight shut against fresh air. He would just as soon think of going out on the bridge between New York and Brooklyn, leap ing off and then praying to God to keep him from getting hurt. Just as long as you refer this whole subject of physical health to the realm of whim sicality or to the pastry cook or to the. butcher or to the baker or to the apothecary or to the clothier you tire not acting like a Christian. Take care of all your physical forces—nervous, in use til a r, bone, brain, cellttlnr tissue— for all you must be brought to Judg ment. Smoking your nervous system Into lidgets, burning out the coating of your stomach with wlue logwooded and stryehnliied, walking with thin slioes to make your feet look delleate, [limited at the waist until you are nigh cut in two and neither part worth any thing, gronnbig about sick hend- nrlie and palpitation of the heart, whh h you think came from Cod, when they came from your own folly! What right lias any man or woman to deface the temple of the Holy Ghost? What Is the ear? It is the whispering gallery of the soul. What Is the eye? || Is ihu observatory God eoilslmeted. Its teleseopc sweeping tllp heavens. What Is the hand? An In- strune 1 utuni wonderful that, when the Mill $40,000 for treatises to Ik* written on the wisdom, power and goodness of God, Sir Charles Bell, the great Eng lish anatomist and siirgeou, found his greatest illustration In tbo construc tion of the human hand, devoting his whole book to that subject. So won derful are these bodies that God names his own attributes after different parts of them. His omniscience—It Is God’s eye; his omnipresence—it Is God's ear; his omnipotence—It Is God’s arm; the upholstery of the midnight heavens— it Is the work of God’s fingers; his life giving power—it is the breath of the Almighty; his dominion—“the govern ment shall be upon his shoulder.” A body so divinely honored and so divinely constructed, let us he care ful not to abuse it. When It becomes a Christian duty to take care of our health, is not (lie whole tendency to ward longevity? If I toss my watch about recklessly and drop it ou the pavement and wind it up tiny time of day or night 1 happen to think of it and often let it run down, while you are careful with your watch and never abuse It and wind it up just at the same hour every night and put it in a place where it will not suffer from the violent changes of atmosphere, which watch will last the longer? Common sense answers. Now, the hu man body Is God’s watch. You see the hands of the watch, you see the fact\ of the watch; but the beating of the heart is the ticking of the watch. Be careful sind do not let It run down. SIm Kllla quickly. Again. 1 remark that practical re ligion is a friend of longevity*in the fact that It is a protest against dissi- psitious, which Injure and destroy the health. Bad men sind women live a very short life. Their sins kill them. I know hundreds of good old men. hut I do not know half a dozen bud old men. Why? They do not get old. Lord Byron died at Missolonghi at 3(5 years of age, himself his own Mazep- pa, his unbridled passious the horse that dashed with him iuto the desert. Edgar A. I’oc died at Baltimore at 38 years of age. The black raveu that alighted on the bust above his door was delirium tremens— Only this ami nothing more. Napoleon Bonaparte lived ouly just beyond midlife, then died at 8t. Hele na, and one of his doctors said that his disease was induced by excessive snuffing. The hero of Austerlitz, the man who by one step of ids foot in the center of Europe shook the earth, kill ed by a snuff box! How many people we have known who have uot lived out half their days because of their dissi pations and indulgences! Now, prac tical religion Is a protest against all dissipatious of any kind. “But,” you say, "professors of re ligion have fallen, professors of re ligion have got drunk, professors of re- UixttT have’ misappropriated trust funds, professors of religion have ab sconded.” Yes, but they threw away their religion before tliey did tlieir morality. If a man on a White Star line steamer, hound for Liverpool, in mid-Atlantic Jumps overboard and is drowned, Is that anything against the White Star line’s capacity to take the man across the oceau? And if a man Jumps over the gunwale of his religion and goes down never to rise, is that any reason Cor your believing that re ligion lias no capacity to take the mau clear through? In the one case, if he had kept to the steamer. Ids body would have been saved; in the other ease, if he had kept to his religion, his morals would have been saved. There are aged people who would have been dead 25 years ago but for the defenses and the equipoise of re ligion. You have no more natural re sistance titan hundreds of people who lie in the cemeteries today slain by their own vices. The doctors made their case as kind and pleasant us they could, and it was called congestion of the brain or something else, hut the snakes and the blue flies that seemed to crawl over the pillow in the sight of the delirious patient showed what was the matter with him. You, the aged Christian man, walked along by that unhappy one until you came to the golden pillar of a C’hr inn lifo. You went to the right; he went to the left. That Is all the difference be tween you. If this religion is a pro test against all forms of dissipation, then It is an Illustrious friend of longevity. “With long life will I sat isfy him.” Worry Shim Vltfor. Again, religion Is a friend af longevi ty In the fact that It takes the worry out of our temporalities. It Is uot work that kills men; It Is worry. When a man becomes a genuine Christian, he makes over to God not only his affec tions, hut his family, his business, his reputation, his body, his mind, his soul, everything. Industrious he will he, but never worrying, because God Is managing his affairs. How can he worry about business when in answer to Ills prayers God tells him when to buy and when to sell? And If he gain, that Is best, and If he lose, that Is best. Suppose you had a supernatural neighbor who came In and said: “Sir, I want you to call on me in every ex igency. I am your fast friend. 1 could fall back on $20,000,000. I can foresee a panic ten years. I hold the con trolling stock in 30 of tl.e hest mone tary institutions of New York. When ever you are in trouble call on me, and I will help you. You can have my money, mid you can have my Influence. Here is my hand in pledge for It.” How much would you worry about lutsltiess? Why, you would say, “I’ll Earl ofi nvuter bequeathed in his the best I can, and then I’ll depend on my fiieud's generosity for the rect.” Now, more than that Is promised to every Christian husLiiess man. God says to him: “1 own New York and London and St. 1’ctersburg and Peking, and Australia and California are mine. I can foresee :i panic a hundred years. I have ull the resources of the uni verse, and I am your fast friend. When you get lit business trouble pr any ot It er trouble, cull on me, and I will help. Hero is my linnd In pledge of om nipotent deliverance.” How much should that man worry? Not much. What lion will dare to put his paw on that Daniel? Is there not rest In tills? Is there not an eternal vacation in this? "Oh.” you say, “here is a mau who asked God for a blessing In a cer tain enterprise, uud he lost $5,000 in ft! Explain that.” I will. Yonder is u factory, and one wheel is going north, and the other wheel Is going south, uud one wheel plays laterally uud the other plays vertically. I go to the manufacturer and I say: “O manufacturer, your ma chinery Is a contradiction! Why do you not make nil the wheels go one way?” "Well," he says, “I made them to go in opposite directions ou pur pose, and they produce the right re sult. You go down stairs and examine thy carpets we arc turning out In this establishment and you will see.’’ I go down ou the other floor, and I see the carpets, and 1 am obliged to confess that, though the wheels In that factory go In opposite directions, they turn out a beautiful result, and while I atu standing there looking at the exquisite fabric an old Scripture passage comes Into my mind, “All things work to gether for good to them who love God.” Is there not a tonic In that? Is there uot longevity in that? Removes Corroding Care. Suppose a man Is all the time wor ried about liis reputation? One man says he lies, another says he is stupid, another says ho Is dishonest, and half a dozen printing establishments at tack him, and he is In a great state of excitement and worry and fume and cannot sleep, but religion comes to him uud says: “Man, God is on your side. He will take care of your repu tation. If God be for you, who can he against you? 1 ’ How much should that man worry about his reputation? Not much. If that broker who some years ago in Wall street, after he had lost money, sat down and wrote a fare well letter to his wife before he blew his brains out—if, instead of taking out of his pocket a pistol, he had taken out a well read New Testament, there would have been one less suicide. () nervous and feverish people of the world, try this almighty sedative! You will live 25 years longer under Its soothing power. It is uot chloral that you want or morphine that you want. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ. “With long life will I satisfy him.” Again, practical religion is a friend of longevity in the fact that it removes all corroding care about a future ex istence. Every mau wants to know what Is to become of him. If you get on board a rail train, you want to know at what depot it is going to stop. If you get on hoard a ship, you want to know iuto what harbor it is going to run. And if you should tell me you have no interest In what is to be your future destiny I would, in as polite a way as I know how, tell you I did uot believe you. Before I had this matter settled with reference to my future existence the question almost worried me into ruined health. The anxieties men have upon this subject put to gether would make a martyrdom. This is a state of awful unhenitblness. There are people who fret themselves to death for fear of dying. 1 want to take the strain off your nerves and the depression off your soul, and 1 make two or three experiments. Ex periment flrst: When you go out of tills world, it does not make any difference whether you have been good or bad, whether you believed truth or error, you will go straight to glory. “Im possible,” you say. “My common sense as well as my religion teaches that the bad and the good cannot live together forever. You give me no comfort In that experiment.” Experiment the sec ond: When you leave this world, you will go Into an Intermediate state, where you can get converted and pre pared for heaven. “Impossible,” you say. “As the tree falleth, so must it lie, and 1 cannot postpone to an Inter mediate state reformation which ought to have been effected in this state." Experiment the third: There is no fu ture world. When a man dies, that Is the last of him. Do not worry about what you are to do in another state of being. You will not do anything. “Ipi- possible," you say. “There is some thing that tells me that death Is not the appendix, hut the preface to life. There is something that tells me that on tliis side of the grave I only get started and that I shall go on forever. My power to think says ‘forever;’ my affections say ‘forever;’ my capacity to enjoy or suffer, ‘forever.’ ” The UenlliiK Ilalm. Well, you defeat me in my three ex periments. 1 have only one more to make, and If you defeat me in that 1 am exhausted: A mighty One on a knoll back of Jerusalem one day, the skies 111leTT'with forked lightnings and the earth filled with volcanic disturb ances, turned his pale and agonized face toward the heavens and said: “1 take the sins and sorrows of the ages Into my own heart. I am the expia tion. Witness earth and heaven and hell, I am the expiation.” And the hammer struck him, and the spears punctured him, and heaven thundered: •‘The wages of sin is death!” “The soul that sinneth, It shall die!” “I will by no menus clear the guilty!” Then there was silence for half tin hour, and the lightnings were drawn hack iuto the scabbard of the sky, and the earth ceased to quiver, and all the colors of the sky began to shift Into a rainbow woven out of the falling tears of Jesus, mid there was red us of the bloodshed- fllng, aud I here was blue as of the bruising, and there was green as of tlu* heavenly foliage, and there was orange ns of the day dawn, and along the Hue of the blue I saw the words, "l was bruised for their Iniquities," and along the line of the red 1 saw the words. “The blood of Jesus Christ cleansoth from all sin,” and along the line of the green I saw the words, “The leaves of the Tree of Life for the heal ing of the nations,“ and along the Hue of the orange I saw the words, "The day spring from on high hath visited us,” and then I saw the storm was over, and the rainbow rose higher and higher until It seemed retreating to another heaven, and, planting one col umn of Its colors on one side the eter nal hill, and planting the other col umn of its colors on the other side the eternal hill, it ro.se upward aud up ward, “and, behold, there was a rain bow about the throne.” Accept that racrltlce and quit worrying. Take the tonic, the Inspiration, the longevity, of this truth. Itcligiou is sunshine; that iij health. Religion Is fresh jtlr and pure water; they are healthy. Ueliglou la warmth; that Is healthy. Ask nil the doctors, and they will tell you that a quiet conscience aud pleasant antici pations are hygienic. 1 offer you per fect peace now and hereafter. What do you want In the future world? Toll me, and you shall have It. Orchards? There are the trees with twelve manner of fruits, yield ing fruit every month. Water scenery? 'I here is the river of Life from under Hie throne of God. clear as crystal, and the sea of glans mingled with fire. Do you want music? There Is the oratorio of the Creation led on by Adam, and the oratorio of the Red sea led on l>y Moses, aud the oratorio of the Messiah led on by St. Raul, while the archangel with swinging baton controls the one hundred and forty-four thousand who make up the orchestra. Do you want reunion? There are your children waiting to ki*;s you, waiting to em brace you, waiting to twist garlands in your hair. You have been accustomed to open the door ou this side the sepulcher. 1 open the door on the oth er side the sepulcher. You have been accustomed to walk in the wet grass on the top of the grave. I show you the under side of the grave. The bot tom has fallen out. and the long ropes with which the pallbearers let down your dead let them clear through into heaven. Glory ho to God for this robust, healthy religion! It will have a tenden cy to make you live long in tliis world, and in the world to come you will have eternal life. “With long life will I satisfy him.” Discovered by u Wonmii. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally dis covered a way to recovery, by pur chasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles has been abso lutely cured.
