6 THE CEN TRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA.3JUNE}23, 1898, OUR CHURCHES. Their Doors Should Open Towards Both Worlds. Dr. Talmage Says the Church lias Much to Do With Both of Them Some of the Things In Which Many Churches Are Deficient. De- old- in the following sermon Rev, T. Witt Talmage that the style humdrum sermon will not do for this age. New and Ans must be devised to meet new problems. His text is Psalm 20: 2; “Send thee help from the sanctuary.” If you should ask 50 church is, they would give ferent answers, Une man “It is a convention of hypocrites.” Another, “It is an assembly of people who feel themselves a great deal bet- ter than others.” Another, “It is a place for gossip, where positions devour each other, “It is a place for the cultivation of superstition and cant.” Another “It is an arsenal where theologians go to get pikes and muskets and shot." Another, “It is an art gallery, where men go to admire grand arches, and exquisite fresco, and musical /warble, and the Dantesque in gloomy im- agery.” Another man would say, “It is the best place on earth my own home.” usd i Jerusalen " shows methods med what the 50 dif- would say: men you wolverine dis other.” An- exce] week, drawing © i from the sanct In ought to come the first man sin ging tendants st gwered, * ticin on enr heaven. take | Kg we art in that great orc} ] were strir our harps.

We ¢ the great Mississippi of ngrega tional singing, and let a few drops of melody trickle through the dam. 1 say, take away the dam, and let the billows roar on their way to the ocean je heart of God. Whether it is fash. jonable to sing loudly or not, let us sing with all possible emphasis We hear a great deal of the art of singing, of music as an entertainment, of musi¢ as a recreation. Jt is high time we heard something of music as a help, a practical help. In order to do this we must have only a few hymns. New tunes and new hymns every Sunday make poor congregn- tional singing. Fifty hymns are enough tor 50 years. The Episcopal church prays the sams prayers every Sabbath, and year after year, and cen- tury after century. For that reason they have the hearty responses. Let us take a hint from that fact, and let us sing the same songs Sabbath after Sabbath. Only in that way can we come to the full foree of this exercise, Twenty thousand years will not wear out the hymns of Willlam Cowper, Charles Wesley, and Isaac Watts, Suppose now each persof in an audi ence has brought all the annoyances of the last three hundred and sixty- five days. Fill the room to the selling with sacred song, and you woul drown out all those annoyances of the last three hundred and sixty-five days, uml oa would drown them out for Organ and cornet are only to more po the wl} ore 3 take RaCre the annovances of be Do ble udly say, iam back oOr i not | a candle, | nets, Christ, Tet the voles fall companies, and in battalions, by storm take the obdu- racy and sin of the world, If you cannot sing for yourself, sing for oth- ers. Dy trying to give others good cheer you will bring cheer 6 your own heart. Again I remark, that sanctuary help ought to come from the Of a thousand people in any audience, how many want sympathetic help? Do you guess a hundred? Do you guess five hundred? You have guessed wrong. I will tell you just the pro portion, Out of a thousand people in any audience there are just 1,000 who need sympathy and help. These young people want it | much as the old. The old people some- times seem to think they have a mo- nopoly of the rheumatis and the neuralgios, and the and the physical disorders of world; but 1 tell you there are no heart aches than are felt by the young people. Do yon knbw that much of the work is by thie young? Raphael died at thirty-seven; Riche- lieu at thirty Gustavus Adolphus died at thirty-eight; nnocent 115 came to his mightiest influence nat thirty-seven. Cortez conquered Mex) co at thirty Don John won Lepanto at twenty Grotius was attorney goneral at twenty-four; and 1 have noticed amid all of that some of the severest battles and toughest work thirty.

That fa the reason why multitudes followed His illustmtions were 80 ensy and understandable. Therefore, my brother Christian worker, if you and I find two illustrations for a re ligious subject, and the one is a Bible illustration and the other is outside of the Bible, TI will take the latter, be cause I want to be like my master. Looking ncross to a hill, Christ saw the eity of Jerusalem. Talking to the people about the conspicuity of Chris tian example, He sald: “The world is looking at you; be careful. A eity that ia set on a hill cannot be hid" While He was speaking of the divine care of God's children a bird flew past, He said, “Behold the ravens” hen looking down into the valley, all cov. ered at that season with flowers, He sald, “Consider the lilies” Oh, my brother Christian workers, what is the nse of our going away off in some ob seure part of history, or on the other side of the earth to get on {Hlustration when the earth and the heavens ore full of {Hostrations.

While doing that the train struck her, and hardly enough of her body was left to gather into a funeral casket. Wihmt was that? Vie suffering, Like Christ.

That tree wna planted to com- memorate an event. About ten miles from the city the Swiss conquered the lurgundians, and a young man want od to take the tidings to the city. He took a tree branch and ran with such speed the ten miles that when he reached the city waving the tree branch he had only strength to ery, “Vietory!” and dropped dead. The tree branch that he carried was plant ed, and it grew to be a great tree twenty feet in circumference, and the remains of it are there to this day, My hearer, when you have fought your last battle with sin and death and hell, and they have been routed in the conflict, it will be a joy worthy of celebration. You will fly to the eitg and ery, “Victory!” and drop at the feet of the great King. Then the pass branch of the earthly race will planted to become the outbranch- ing tree of everlasting rejoicing. as the celestial we FEA : 3 disorder, but have no over!
