Wasiiinoton, April 14.—In tills tlis- course Dr. Talinnge sets forth religion ns an exliilnrtition, and urges all peo- ply to try its uplifting power; text. Proverbs 111, 17, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness.” You have all heard of Clod’s only be gotten Son. Have you heard of (loti’s daughter? She was born in heaven. She came down over the hills of our world. She had queenly step. On her brow was celestial radiance. Her voice was music. Her name Is Reli gion. My text introduces her. "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” Rut what Is re ligion? The fact Is that theological study has had a different effect upon me from the effect sometimes pro duced. Every year I tear out another leaf from my theology until I have only three or four leaves left—in other \vords, a very brief and plain state ment of Christian belief. An aged Christian minister said: “When I was a young man, 1 knew everything; when I got to he 35 years of age, in my creed I had only a hun dred doctrines of religion; when 1 got to he 40 years of age, I had only 50 doctrines of religion; when 1 got to he GO years of age, 1 had only 10 doctrines of religion; and now I am dying at 75 years of age, and there is only one thing I know, and that is that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin ners.” And so 1 have noticed in the study of God’s word, and in my con templation of the character of God and of the eternal world, that It is necessary for me to drop tills part of my belief and that part of my belief as being nonessential, while I cling to the one great doctrine that man is a sinner, and Christ is his Almighty, and divine Saviour. Now, I take these three or four leaves of my theology, and 1 tind that, in the first place and dominant above all oth ers, is the sunshine of religion. When 1 go into a room, I have a passion for throwing open all the shutters. That is what I want to do this morniug. We are apt to throw so much of the sepul chral into our religion and to close the shutters and to pull down the blinds that It is only through here and there a crevice that the light streams. The re ligion of the Lord Jesus Christ is a re ligion of joy indescribable and unut terable. Wherever I can tind a hell 1 mean to ring it. Sunahlne of Relltclon. If there are any in this house this morning who are disposed to hold on to their melancholy and gloom, let them now depart this service before the fairest and the brightest and the most radiant being of all the universe comes in. God’s Son has left our world, but God’s daughter Is here. Give her room! Hail, Princess of Heaven! Hail, daughter of the Lord God Almighty! Come In and make this house thy throueroom! In setting forth this idea the domi nant theory of religion Is one of sun shine. 1 hardly know where to begin, for there are so many thoughts that rush upon my soul. A mother saw her little child seated on the floor in the sunshine and with a spoon in her band. She said, “My darling, what are you doing there?” "Oh,” replied the child, "I am getting a spoonful of this sun shine.” Would God that today I might present you with a gleaming chalice of this glorious, everlasting gospel sun- shine! First of all, I find a great deal of sun shine In Christian society. I do not know of anything more doleful than the companionship of the mere fun- makers of the world — the Thomas Hoods, the Charles Lambs, the Charles Mathewses of the world—the men whose entire business It Is to make sport. They make others laugh, but If you will examine their autobiography or bi ography you will find that down In their soul there was a terrific disquie tude. Laughter is no sign of happiness. The maniac laughs. The hyena laughs. The loon among the Adirondacks laughs. The drunkard, dashing bis de canter against the waii, laughs. There is a terrible reaction from all sinful amusement and sinful merri ment. Such men are cross the next day. They snap at you on exchange or they pass you, not recognizing you. Long ago I quit mere worldly society for the reason it was so dull, so inane and so stupid. My nature la voracious of Joy. I must have it Promote* Longevity. I always walk on the sunny side of the street, and for that reason 1 have crossed over Into Christian society. 1 like their mode of repartee better. 1 like their style of amusement better. They live longer. Christian people, I sometimes notice, live on when by all natural law they ought to have died. I have known persons who have con tinued in their existence when the doc tor said they ought to have been dead ten years. Every day of their exist ence was a defiance of the laws of anat omy and physiology, but they had this supernatural vivacity of the gospel In their soul, and that kept them alive. Pnt 10 or 12 Christian people In a room for Christian conversation, and you will from 8 to 10 o clock bear more resounding glee, see more bright strokes of wit and find more thought and pro found satisfaction than In any merely worldly party. Now, when 1 say a "worldly party,” I mean that to which you are Invited because nnder all the circumstances of the case it Is the best for you to be Invited, and to which you eo because under all the circumstances of the case It Is Better that you go, and, leaving the shawls on the second floor, you go to the parlor to give formal sal utation to the host and the hostess and then move around, spending the whole evening In the discussion of the weath er and In apology for Ireadlng on long trains and in effort to keep the corners of the mouth up to the sign of pleas ure and going around with an Idiotic bc-be about nothing until the collation is served and then, after the collation is served, going hack again into the parlor to resume the weather and theu. at the close going at a very late hour to the host and hostess and assuring lUth.'.tty'Xpu Mti etiniriK and lilt'll (HtSSttig (loWll Olt [ the front steps, the slam of the door the only satisfaction of the evening. O young matt come from the coun try to spend your days In city life, where are you going to spend your evenings? Let me tell you. while there are many places of innocent worldly amusement, It is most wise for you to throw your laxly, mind and soul Into Christian society. Come to me at the close of five years and tell me what has been the result of this advice. Bring with you the young man who re fused to take the advice, and who went Into sinful amusement. Ife will come dissipated, shabby in appar?l, in disposed to look any one in the eyes, moral character 85 per cent off. Y’ou will come with ifl-lnclple settled, coun tenance frank, habits good, soul saved, and all the inhabitants of heaven, from the lowest angel up to the archangel and clear past him to the Lord God Almighty, your coadjutors. Joys of Christian Life. This Is not the advice of a mis anthrope. There is no man In the house to whom the world Is brighter than it Is to me. It is not the advice of a dyspeptic—my digestion is per fect: It is not the advice of a man who cannot understand a joke or who pre fers a funeral; it is not the advice of a womout man, hut the advice of a man who can see this world in all its brightness, and considering myself competent in judging what is good cheer l tell the multitudes of young men that there is nothing in worldly associations so grand and so beautiful and so exhilarant as in Christian so ciety. ” * I know there is a great deal of talk about the self denials of the Christian. I have to tell you that where the Christian has one self denial the man of the world has a thousand self de nials. The Christian is not com manded to surrender anything that is worth keeping. But what does a man deny himself who denies himself the religion of Christ! He denies himself pardon for sin; he denies himself peace of conscience; he denies himself the joy of the Holy Ghost; he denies him self a comfortable death pillow; he denies ’ himself the glories of heaven. Do not talk to me about the self de nials of the Christian life. Where there Is one in the Christian life there are a thousand In the life of the world. “Her ways are ways of pleasantness.” Again, I find a great deal of religious sunshine in Christian and divine ex planation. To a great many people life is an inexplicable tangle. Things turn out differently from what was suppos ed. There is a useless woman In per fect health. There is nn industrious and consecrated woman a complete in valid. Explain that. There Is a had man with ^30,000 of Income. There Is a good man with $800 of Income. Why is that? There is a foe of society who lives on, doing all the damage he can, to 75 years of age, and here Is a Chris tian father, faithful In every depart ment of life, at 35 years of age taken away by death, his family left helpless. Explain that. Oh, there Is no sentence that oftener drops from your lips than this: “I cannot understand It; I cannot understand It” Grand Consolations. Well, now religion comes in Just at that point with its illumination and Us explanation. There Is a business man who has lost his entire fortune. The week before he lost his fortune there were'20 carriages that shopped at the door of his mansion. The week after he lost his fortune all the carriages you could count on one finger. The week before financial trouble began people all took off their hats to him as be passed down the street The week his financial prospects were under dis cussion people just touched their hats without anywise bending the rim. The week that he was pronounced insolvent people Just jolted their heads as they passed, not tipping their hats at all, and the week the sheriff sold him out all his friends were looking in the store windows as they went down past him. Now, while the world goes away from a man while he Is in financial distress, the religion of Christ comes to him and says: "You are sick, and your sickness Is to be moral purification. You arc be reaved. God wanted in some way to take your family to heaven, and he must begin somewhere, and so he took the one that was most beautiful and was most ready to go.” I do not say that religion explains everything In this life, but I do say It lays down cer tain principles which are grandly con solatory. You know business men of ten telegraph In cipher. The merchant In San Francisco telegraphs to the mer chant In New York certain information in cipher which no other man In that line of business can understand, but the merchant In San Francisco has the key to the cipher, and the merchant In New York has the key to the cipher, and on that Information transmitted there are enterprises involving hun dreds of thousands of dollars. Now, the providences of life sometimes seem to be a senseless rigmarole, a mysteri ous cipher, but God has a key to that cipher, and the Christian a key to that cipher, and though be may hardly be able to spell oat the meaning be gets enough of the meaning to understand that It Is for the best Now, is there not sunshine In that? Is there not pleasure In that? Far beyond laughter, it Is nearer the fountain of tears than boisterous demonstration. Have you never cried for Joy? There are tears which are eternal rapture In distilla tion. Everything Explained. There are hondreds of people Who are walking day by day In the sublime satisfaction that all Is for the beet, all things working together for good for their soul. How a man can get along through this life without the explana tion Is to me a mystery. What, Is that child gone forever? Are you never to get It back? Is your property gone for ever? Is your soul to be bruised and to he tried forever? Have you no ex planation, no Christian explanation, and yet not a maniac? But when you have the religion of Jesus Christ in your soul It explains everything so far as It Is best for you to understand. You look off in life, and your soul is full of thanksgiving to God that you are so much better off than you might he. A man passed down the street without any shoes and said: "I have no shoes. Isn’t It a hardship Hint I have no shoes? Other people have shoes. No shoes, no shoes!” until he saw a man who had no feet. Then he learned a lesson. You ought to thank God for what he does Instead of grumhlihg for what be does not. God arranges all the feather lo t^lq s^lj-^al Weather, the moral weather ns well as the natural w«*nlher. “What kind of weather will it be today?" said somo one to a farmer. The farmer replied, “It will he such weather ns I like.” "What do you mean by that?” naked the other. "Well,” said the farmer, "It will he HUeli weather ns pleases the Lord, and wlmt pleases the Lord pleas es me.” Oil, the sunshine, the sunshine of Christian explanation! Here is some one betiding over the grave of the dead. What is going to he the consolation? The flowers you strew upon the tomb? Oh, no! The services read at the grave? Oh, no! The chief consolation on that grave Is what falls from the throne of God. Sunshine, glorious sunshine- resurrection sunshine! Supernatural Vision. Again, I find a great deal of the sun shine of this Bible and of our religion In the climacteric joys that are to come. A man who gets up and goes out from a concert right after the opening volun tary has been played and before the priaia donna sings or before the or chestra begins has a bettor idea of that concert than that man has who sup poses that the chief Joys of religion are in this world. We here have only the first note of the eternal orchestra. We shall in that world have the Joy of discovery. We will in five minutes catch up with the astronomers, the ge ologists, the scientists, the philosophers of all ages, who so far surpassed us in this world. We can afford to adjourn astronomy and geology and many of the sciences to the next world, because we shall there have better apparatus and better opportunity. I must study these sciences so far as to help me in my work, hut beyond that I must give myself to saving my own soul and sav ing the souls of others, knowing that in one flash of eternity we will catch It all. Oh, what an observatory in which to study astronomy heaven will he, not by power of telescope, hut by su pernatural vision, and, if there be some thing doubtful 10,000,000 miles away, by one stroke of the wing you are there, by another stroke of the wing you are hack agaiq, and all in less time than I tell you, catching It all In one flash of eternity. And geology! What a place that will be to study geology when the world Is being picked to pieces as easily as a schoolgirl in botanical lessons pulls the leaf from the corolla! What a place to study architecture, ojnid the thrones and the palaces and the cathedrals—St. Mark’s and St. Paul’s rookeries in com parison. Sometimes you wish you could make the tour of the whole earth, going around as others have gone, hut you have not the time, you have not the means. You will make the tour yet during one musical pause in the eter nal anthem. I say these things for the comfort of those people who are abridged In their opportunities—those people to whom life Is humdrum, who toil and work and toil and work and aspire after knowledge, but have no time to get It and say, “If I had the opportunities which other people have, how 1 would fill my mind and soul with grand thoughts!” Be not dis couraged, my friends. You are going to the university yet. Death will only matriculate you luto the royal college of the universe. Peace Sublime. What a sublime thing It was that Dr. Thornwell of South Carolina uttered in his last dying' moments! As he looked up he said, "It opens; it expands, it expands.” Or as Mr. Top- lady, the author of “Rock of Ages,” In his last moment or during his last hours looked up and said, as though he saw something supernatural, "Light!” and then as be came on near er the dying moment. Ids countenance more luminous, he cried, "Light!” and at the very moment of his departure lifted both bands, something super natural In his countenance as be cried “Light!” Only another name for sun shine. Besides that, we shall have all the pleasures of association. We will go right up in the front of God without any fright. All our sins gone, there will be nothing to be frightened about. There our old Christian friends will troop around us. Just as uow one of your sick friends goes away to Florida, the land of flowers, or to the south of France, and you do pot see him for a long while, and after awhile you meet him, and the hollows under the eyes are all filled, and the appetite has come hack, uid the crutch has been thrown away, md be Is so changed you hardly know him. You say, "Why, I never saw you look so well.” He says: "I couldn't hcl; but be well. I have been sailing these rivers and climbing these mountains, and that’s how I got this elasticity. I never was so well.” Oh, my friends, your departed loved ones are only away for their health It a bet ter climate, and when you meet them they will be so changed you will hardly know them, they will be so veiy much changed, and after awhile, when you arc assured that they are your friends, your departed friends, you wil? say: "W T hy, where is that cough? Where is that paralysis? Where is that pneu monia? Where is that consumption?” And he will say: “Oh, I am entirely well! There are no sick ones In this country. 1 have been ranging these hills and hence this elasticity. I have been here now 20 years, and not one Biek one have 1 seen. We are all well In this climate.” Jola tbs Cborna. And then I stand at the gate of the celestial city to see the processions come out, and I see a long procession of little children with their afms full of flowers, and then I see a procession of kings and priests moving in celes tial pageantry—a long procession, but no black tasscled vehicle, no mourning group—and I say: "How strange It is! Where is your Greenwood? Where is your Laurel Hill? Where Is your West minster abbey?” And they shall cry, “There are no graves here.” And then listen for the tolling of the old belfries of heaven, the old belfries of eternity. I listen to bear them toll for the dead, but they.toll not for the dead. They only strike up a silvery chime, tower to tower, east gate to west gate, as they ling out, “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor i$ny heat, for the Lamb which U In tfK midst of the throne shall lead them to living foun tains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” Oh, unglove your hand and give it to me In congratulation on that scene! 1 feel as If I could shout I will shout.
