THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 18986, THE WORLD A STAGE. Every Man Must Appoar in His Own Character. When the Play is Over We Shall All Have to Give Account of Deeds Done in the Body Shakes. peare's WILL In this sermon Dr. Talmage calls at. tention to the causes of success and failure in this life, and draws a beauti. ful picture of a happy God-loving fam- ily. The text he selected was from Job oT: “Men shall clap their hands at him and shall hiss him out of his place.” This allusion seems to be dramatic The Bible more than once makes such allusions. Paul says: “We are made a theater or spectacle to angels and to men.” It is evident from the text that some of the habits of theater-goers were known in Job's time, because he describes an actor hissed off the stage. The impersonator comes on the boards and, either through lack of study of the part he is to take or inaptness or other incapacity, the audience is of- fended and express disapprobation and disgust by lLissing. “Men shall their hands at him and shall out of his place.” My text suggests that each one of us is put on the stage of this world to take part. What hardship and suffering and discipline actors have undergone year after year that they might be perfected in their parts, you have often reac But we, put on the stage of this life to represent char- ity and faith and help- at preparation made, although w galleries of spe a. 23: clap hiss him some great humility and fulness—wi have we en and hell! concentrating have been cri around or that o be calle and in th ards, Wi i arp edges of the broken glass of bottle and demijohn they are cut down, are whole swaths of rows of the aud it takes pitals and penitentiaries and grave- yards and cemeteries to hold this har. vest of hell. Some of you are going down under this evil, and the never. dying worm of alcoholism has wound around you one of itscoils, and by next New Year's day it will have coll around you, and it will after awhile put a coll around your tongue and a coll around your brain and a coil around your lung and a coll around ut thie N ) : le ] INLry is Garunk- tle made out of the s! ; erop of ths and t) them, whole ere wih- m, all the hos. worm will with one spring tighten all the coils at once, and of that awful convolution you will ery out: "Oh, my God!" and be gone. The greatest of dramatists in the tragedy | of “The Tempest” sends staggering across the stage Stephano, the drunken butler; but across the stage of hundan life strong drink sends kingly and | quecnly and princely natures stagger fog forward against the footlights of conspicuity and then staggering back into failure till the world is impatient for théir disappearance, and human and diabolie voices join in hissing them off the stage. Many also make a failure in the dra ma of life through indolence. They are always making enleulations how little they can do for the compensatior they get. There are more lazy minis ters, Inwyers, doctors, merchants, ar | look another ! your | heart, and some day this never-dying | and women who, in the drama of life, in the last twist | | | tists, and farmers than have ever been | counted upon, The community is full of laggards and shirkers. I can tell it from the way they crawl along the street, from their tardiness in meeting engagements, from the lethargies that seem to hang to the foot when they lift it, to the hand when they put it out, to the words when they speak.

It is about 50 years ago that in a com- paratively small department of the city a newly-married couple sot up a | home, The first guest invited to that residence was the Lord Josus Christ, | and the Bible given the bride on the day of her espousal was the guide of that household, Days of sunshine were | followed by days of shadow. Did you ever know n home that for 50 years had no vicissitude? The young woman who left her father's house for her | over and soaked his clothing with young husband's home started out with a parental benediction and good ad. vice she will never forget. Her mother sald to her the day before the mar riage: “Now, my child, you are going away from us Of course, 8a long mm your father and I lve you will feel that you can come to us at any time, But your home will be elsewhere. From long experience I flud It is best to serve God. It is very bright with you now, my child, and you may think you can get along without religion, but the day will come when you will want God, and my advice is, establish a family altar, and, if need be, conduct the worship yourself.” The counsol was taken, and that young wife consecrated every room in the house to God. Years passed on and there were in | but they were | good and healthful; and sorrows, but | that home hilarities, they were comforted, Marriages as bright as orange blossoms could make them, and burials in which all hearts were riven, They have a family lot in the cemetery, but all the place is | illuminated with stories tion and reunion.
