SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED
DIVINE.
Subject: "Make Home Happy"—The Door
■lll of the Dwelling House!■ the Foun
dation of Church and State—Let Chris
tian hove Abide Therein.
TEXT: "The disciples went away again
unto their own home."—John xx., 10.
A church within a church, a republic
within a republic, a world within a world,
is spelled by four letters—Homel If things
go right there, they go right everywhere;
ff things go wrong there, they go wrong
everywhere. The doorslll of the dwelling
bouse is the foundation ot Church and
State. A man never gets higher than his
own garret or lower than his own cellar.
Domestic life overarches andundergirdles
all other life. The highest house of Con
gress is the domestic circle; the rocking
chair In the nursery is higher than a throne.
George Washington commanded the forces
of the United State-, but Mary Washington
commanded George. Chrysostom's mother
made his pen for him. It a man should
•tart out und run seventy years in a straight
line, be could not get out from under the
shadow of bis own mantel piece. I there
tore talk to you about a mutter ot infinite
and eternal moment when I speak of your
home.
As Individuals we are fragments. God
makes the race into parts, and then He
gradually puts us together. What I lack,
you make up; what you lack, I make
up; our deficits and surpluses ot
churacter being the cog wheels In the so
cial mechautcism. One person has the pa
tience, another has the courage, another
bar the placidity, another the enthusiasm;
that which is lacking in one is made up by
another, or is made up by all. Buffaloes
In herds, grouse in broods, quails in flocks,
the humau race In oircles. God has most
beautlfullv arranged this. It is in this
way He balances society; this conservative
nnd that radical keeping things even.
Every ship must have its mast, cut-wuter,
taffrail, ballast. Thank God, then, for
Princeton nnd Andover, for the opposltes.
I have no more right to blame a man for
being different from me than a drivigg-
Whecl has a right to blame the Iron shaft
that holds It to the centre. John Wesley
balances Calvin's Institutes. A cold
thinker gives to Scotland the strong bones
of theology; Dr. Guthrie clothes theiu with
n throbbing heart and warm flesh. The
difficulty is tliat we are not satisfied with
jnst the work that God has given us to do.
The water-wheel wants to come inside the
mill nnd grind the grist, and the hopper
wants togo out and dabble In the water.
Our usefulness and the welfare of society
depend upon staying in just the place thut
God has put us, or intended we should oc
cupy.
For more compactness, and that we may
be more useful, we are gathered In still
smaller circles In the home group. And
there you have the same variety again;
brothers, sisters, husbnnd and wife; all dif
ferent in temperuments and tastes. It is
fortunate that it should be so. If the hus
band be all Impulse, the wife must be all
prudence. If one sister be snngulne in her
temperament, the other must belymplinttc.
Mary and Martha are necessities. There
will be no dinner for Christ If there be no
Murtba; there will be no uudienoe for Jesus
if there be no Mary. The home organiza
tion is most beautifully constructed. Eden
has gone; the bowers are all broken down;
the animnls that Adam stroked with his
band that morning when they came up to
get their names hnve since shot forth tusk
und sting, und growled panther at pan
ther; and, mid-air, iron beaks plunge, till
with clotted wing nnd eyeless sockets the
twain come whirling down from under the
sun in blood and fire. Eden has gone, but
there is just one little fragment left. It
floated down on the ltiyor Illddekel out of
Paradise". It is the marriage institution.
It does not, as at the beginning, take away
from man a rib. Now it is an addition of
ribs.
This institution ol marriage has been de
famed in our day-. Socialism and polyga
my, and the most damnable of all things,
free-lovism, have been trying to turn this
earth into a Turkish harem. While the
pupits have been comparatively silent,
nolvels—their cheapness only equalled by
their nastlness—am trying to educate,
have taken upon themselves to educate,
this nation in regard to holy marriage,
which makes or breaks for time and eter
nity. Oh, this is not a mere question of
residence or wardrobe! It is a question
charged with gigantic joy or sorrow, with
heaven or hell. Alas for this new dispen
sation of George Sands! Alas for this
mingling of the nightshade with the mar
riage garlandsl Alus for the venom of
adders spit into the tankards! Alas for the
white froßts of eternal death that kill the
orange-blossoms! The Gospel of Jesus
Christ Is to assert what is right and to as
snil what is wrong. Attempt has been
made to take the marringe Institution,
which was intended for the happiness ond
elevation of the race, and make It a mere
commercial enterprise; an exchange of
bouses and lands and equipage; a business
partnership of two stuffed up with the
stories of romance and knight-errantry,
nnd unfaithfulness and feminine angel
hood. The two after a while have roused
up to find that, instead of the paradise
they dreamed of, they have got nothing
but a Van Amburgh's menagerie, filled
■with tigers and wild cats. Eighty thou
sand divorces in Paris In one year preceded
the worst revolution that Francs ever saw.
And I tell you what you know as well as I
do, that wrong notions on the subject of
Christian marriage are the cause at this
dav of more moral outrage before God and
man than any other cause.
There are some things that I want to
bring before you. I know there are those
of you who have homes set up for a great
many years; and, then, there are those
bore who have just established their home.
They have only been in that homo a few
months or a few years. Then there are
those who will, af:er a while, set up for
themselves a home, and it is right that I
should speak out upon these themes.
Jly llrst counsel to you is, have God in
your new home, If it be a now home; and
lot him who was a guest at Bethany be in
your household; let the Divine blessing
drop upon your every hope and plan and
expectation. Those young people who be
gin with God end with henven. Have on
your right hand the engagement ring of
the Divine affection. If one of you be a
Chrislinn, let that one take the Bible and
read a few verses in the evening-time and
then kneel down nnd commend yourselves
to Him who settetb the solitary in fami
lies. I want to tell you that the destroying
nngel passes by without touching or enter
ing the door-post sprinkled with blood of
the everlasting covenant. Why is it t*hat
In some families they never get along, and
in others they nlways get along well? I
have watched such cases, and have come
to a conclusion. In the first instance,
nothing seemed togo pleasantly, and after
a while there came a devastation, domestic
disaster, or estrangement. Why? They
Started wrong. In the other case, although
there were hardships and trials and some
things that had to be expl ined, still
tbings went on pleasantly uulil the very
last. Why? They started right.
My second advice to you in your home
Is, to exercise to the very last possibility
of your nnturo the law of forbearance.
Prayers in the household will not make up
lor everything. Some of the best people
In the world are the hardest to get along
With. There are people who stand up in
prayer meetings and pray like angels, who
at home are uncompromising and cranky.
Sou may not have everything just as yon
want it. Sometimes it will be the duty of
the husband and sometimes of the wife to
yield; but both stand punctiliously on your
rights, and you will have a Waterloo with
no Bluaber coming up at ltlgbt-fall to tle
»lde the conflict.
Never be ashamed to apologize when you
fcave dene wrong is domestic affairs. Let
that be it law of your household. The best
thing I ever heard ot my grandfather,
whom I never saw, was this: That once
having unrighteously rebuked one ot hi*
children, he himself having lost hla
patlenc, and, perhaps, having been mis
informed ot the child's doings, found out
his mistake, and In the evening of the same
daypßhered all his family together, and
said, ''Now, I have one explanation to
make, and one thing to say. Thomas, this
morning I rebuked you very unfairly. I
am very sorry for It. I rebuked you in the
presence of the whole family, and now I
ask your forgiveness In their presence." It
must have taken some courage to do that.
It was right, was it not? Never be ashamed
to apologize for domestic inaccuracy.
On the other hand, the husband ought
to be sympathetic with the wife's occupa
tion. It is no easy thing to keep house.
Many a woman who could have endured
martyrdom as well as Margaret, the
Scotch girl, has aotualty been worn out by
house management. There are a thousand
martyrs of the kitchen. It is very annoy
ing, after the vexations of the day around
the stove or the register or the table, or in
the nursery or parlor, to have the husband
say, "You know nothing about trouble;
you ought to be in the store half an hour."
. Sympathy of occupation! If the husband's
work cover him with the soot of the fur
nace, or the odors of leather or soap fac
tories, let not the wife be easily disgusted
at the begrimed bands or unsavory aroma.
Your gains are one, your interests are one,
your losses are one; lay hold of the work
of life with both hands. Four hands to
light the battles; four eyes to watch for
the danger; four shoulders on whloh to
carry the trials. It is a very sad thing
when the painter has a wife who does not
like pictures. It is a very sad thing for a
pianist when she has a husband who does
not like music. It is a very sad thing
when a wife is not suited unless her hus
band has what Is oalled a "genteel busi
ness." So far ns I understand a "genteel
business," it is something to which a man
goes at ten o'clock In the morning, and
from which he comes home at two or
three o'clock in the afternoon, and gets a
large amount of money for doing nothing.
That is, I believe, n "genteel business;"
and there has been many a wife who has
made the mistake of not being satisfied
until the husbnnd has given up the tanning
of the hides, or the turning of the banis
ters, or the building of the walls, and put
himself in circles where he has nothing to
do but smoke cigars and drink wine, and
get himself Into habits that upset him,
going down In the maelstrom, taking his
wife and children with him. There are a
good many trains running from earth to
destruction. They start all hours of the
day, and all hours of the nigiit. There are
the freight trains; they go very slowly and
very heavily; and there are the accommo
dation trains going on toward destruction,
and they stop very often and let a man got
out when he wants to. But genteel idle
ness Is nn express train; Satan is the stoker,
and death is the engineer; and though one
may come out in lront of it, and swing the
red flag of "danger," or the lantern of
God's Word, it makes just one shot into
perdition, coming down the embankment
with a shout and a wall and a shriek—
crash, crash! There are two classes of peo-
Ele sure ot destruction: first, those who
avo nothing to do; secondly, those who
have something to do, but who" are too lazy
or too proud to do it.
I have one more word of advice to give
to those who have a happy home, and that
Is, let love preside in it. When your be
havior in the domestic circle becomes a
mere matter of calculation; when the caress
you give Is merely the result of deliberate
study of the position you occupy, happl
ness lies stark dead ou the hearth-stone.'
When the husband's position as head of the
household Is maintained by loudness of
voice, by strength of arm, by lire of tem
per, the republic of domestic bliss has be
come a despotism thnt neither God nor man
will abide. Oh, ye who promised to love
each other at the altar! how dare you com
mit perjury? Let no shadow of suspicion
come on your affection. It is easier to kill
that flower than It Is to make it live again.
The blast from heil that puts out that light,
loaves you In the blackness of darkness for
ever.
Here are a man and wife; thoy agree In
nothing else, but they agree they will have
a home. They will have a splendid house,
and they think that if they have a house,
they will have a home. Architects make
the plan, and the mechanics execute it:
the house to cost one hundred thousand
dollars. It is done. The carpets are
spread; lights are hoisted; curtains are
hung; cards of invitation sent out. The
horses in gold-plated harness pranoe at
the gate; guests come in nnd take their
places; the flute sounds; the dancers go
up and down; and with one grand whirl
the wealth aud the fashion and the mirth
of the great town wheel amid the pictured
wulls. Ha! this is happiness. Float it on
the smoking viands; sound it in the music;
whirl it in the danoe; cast It in the snow of
sculpture; sound it up the brilliant stair
way; flash it In tbo chandeliers! Happi
ness, indeed I Let us build on the centre of
the parlor floor a throne to Happiness; let
all the guests, when come In, bring their
flowers and pearls and diamonds, and
throw them on this pryamld, aud let It be
a throne; and then let Happiness, the
queen, mount the throne, and we
will stand around, and all chalices
lifted, we will say, "Drink, O queen! live
forever!" But the guests depart, the
flutes are breathless, the last clash of the
impatient hoofs is heard in the distance,
and the twain of the household come back
to see the Queen of Happiness on the throne
amidst the parlor floor. But, alas! as they
come back, the flowers have faded, the
sweet odors have become the smell of a
charnel-house, und Instead of the Queen ol
Happiness there sits there the gaunt form
of Anguish, with bitten lip and sunken eye,
and ashes in her hair. The romp of the
dancers who have left seems rumbling yet,
like jarring thunders that quake the floor
and rattle the glasses of the feast rim to
rim. The spilled wine on the floor turns
into blood. The wreaths of plush have be
come wriggling reptiles. Terrors catch
tangled in the canopy tnat overhangs the
couch. A strong gust of wind comes
through the hall and the drawing-room and
the bed-chamber, in which all the lights go
out. And from the lips of the wlne-beakers
come the words, "Happiness is not in us!"
And the arches respond, "It Is not in usl''
And the silenced instruments of musie,
thrumbed on by invisible lingers, answer,
"Happiness is not in us!" And the frozen
lips of Anguish break open, nnd, seated on
the throne of wilted flowers, she strikes
her bony bauds together, and groaus, "It
is not in me!"
That very night a clerk with a salary ot
a thousand dollars a year—only one thou
sand—goes to his home, sat up three
months ago, just after the marriage day.
Love muets him at the door; love sits with
him at the table; love talks over the work
of the day; love takes-down the Bible, and
reads of Him who oaine our souls to save;
and they kneel, and while they are kneel
ing—right in that plain room, on the plain
carpet—the angels or God build a throne,
not out of llowers that perish and fade
away, but out of garlands of heaven,
wreath on top of wreath, amaranth on am
aranth, until the throue is done,
Then the harps of God sound
ed, and suddenly there appeared
one who mounted the throne with eye so
bright and brow so fair that the twain
knew it was Chrlstain Love. And they
knelt at tile foot ot tho throne, and, put
ting ou» hand on each head, she blessed
them and said, "Happiness is with met''
And that throne of celestial bloom with
ered not with the passing years; and the
queen left not the throne till one day the
married pair felt stricken in years—felt
themselves called away, and knew no!
which way togo, and the queen bounded
from the throne, and said, "Follow me.
and I will show you the way up to the
realm of everlasting love." And so thej
went up to sing songs of love, and \rilk on
pavements of love, and to live together in
mansions ot love, and to rejoice forever In
the truth that tiod is lave.

THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.
An Appeal to Uncle Sam— A Remarkable
Paper Against the Use of Alcohol

Scares half your valor off, nor lets
A tithe of honor linger.

To foster, shall regret it.

Physicians* Use of Alcohol.
Tho most Interesting paper read at the
Jlosing session of the New York State Medi
cal Association's annual meeting, in Mott
Memorial Hall, New York City, was writteu
by Dr. J. M. Farrington, of Broome County
on"The Passing of Alcohol."
Dr. Farrington quoted the commenda
tions formerly bestowed on alcohol by
Btundard medical authors, aud noted a great
change within forty years. He declared
that those of the profession who believe ic
the general uso of alcohol us a remedy ar«
now in the minority, aud said that with th«
light which has been thrown upon this sub
ject during the past few years a physician
subjects himself to adverse criticism, anil
has need to apologize for using alcohol in
cases in which but a few years ago he woulc
have been censured had he refrained from
using it. Dr. Farrington said further:
Life insurance companies have becom<
convinced beyond question that alcohol,
used even iu moderate quantities, impair.'
the vital powers and shortens life. Rail
road companies ha■•j learned that even o
moderate use of alcohol affects unfavorably
the brain and muscular power, and, there
fore, require all engineers, conductors
brakemeu and switchmen to be total ab
stainers. Religious societies that formerly
made use of alcoholic wine, in the celebra
tion of the Lord's Supper, have discovered
that the use of it lit the communion ser
vice has, in many instances, aroused th<
appetite for intoxicants in reformed per
sons, and thus have started them again or
the declivity to ruin. Churches have like
wise learned that the use of alcohol as i
beveruge is the greatest barrier to the pro
gress of religious truth. Therefore, a ma
iority of the Christian societies have ban
Ished Intoxicating wluo from their com
munion rites, aud use only the unfermentec
juice of the grape.
Public state ceremonies, such as the in
auguration of the President of the Unltec
States and of the Governors of States
which were once scenes of bacchanaliar
revelry, have so far been modllled ic
deference to public sentiment that in many
instances no kind of alcoholic beverage is
furnished. Social gatherings and banquets,
where formerlychampagne and other mild
Intoxicants flowed freely aud wore con
sidered essential, are now frequently con
ducted without any form of alcoholic
drink.
The attention of tho civilized world has
been called to the conspicuous fact of the
accuracy of the fire of the gunners of our
battleships in the recent war with Spain.
The contrast between the tire of the men
of our navy and that of Spain was chiefly
to be attributed, no doubt, to the custom
that prevails on the ships of the latter,
where daily rations of grog are furnished
to the men; while, since 1862, when that
custom was abolished by our Government,
no rations of grog are allowed at any time
on board our ships. The custom just al
luded to as followed by Spain is true of all
the navies of the world but ours. Yet
Great Britain bus abandoned the double
rations of grog when a light is on, and
then no liquor is allowed.
Dr. Farrington appealed to his hearers
to assist in driving alcohol from the do
main of medicine.
. Organized Society's Criminal Reelect.
What does society as society do to. pre
vent Its members from becoming criminals!
Notaing, absolutely nothing. The church
and the mission and philanthropy and
charity and our reformatory systems, or
ganized through individual effort, do a
great deal, but the law does nothing; it
sauctlous and tolerates every evil which
brings forth crime as a natural product,
and throws upon religion and humanity tho
burden of Its responsibility. There will be
a great public awakening upon this mattei
as no distant day. We permit a man to be
come a drunkard, license him, as it were,
to become one, make a profit out of him for
becoming one. and then when he does an
act which is the inevitable result of his un
conscious condition, we pass statutes grad
ing oiT the sort of punishment that ha
shall suffer for doing that whloh nothing
but the miraculous interposition of Provi
dence could have prevented him from do
ing. We say to him, "You can go crazy,
the law Is with you; but when you are crazy
you must act like a rational creature; it
not, the law is against you."—Ex-Congress
man Hon. Isador Rayner, of Maryland, at
Hebrew Benevolent Society Banquet, Bal
timore.
Carapts For Claret.
A story showing how easily tho use of
liquor in cases of sickness can be dispensed
with is told by ono of our exchanges.
The other day a distracted mother
brought her daughter to see a physician.
The girl was suffering from "general low
ness." The doctor prescribed for her a
glass of olaret three times a day with her
meals. The mother was somewhat deaf,
but apparently heard all he said, and bore
off her daughter. In ten days' time they
were back again, and the girl was rosy
cheeked, smiling, and the picture of health.
The doctor congratulated himself upon the
keen insight he had displayed in his diag
nosis of the case. "I am glad to see that
your daughter is so much better," he said.
"Yes," exclaimed the grateful mother;
"thanks to you, doctor! She has had just
wlmt you ordered. She has eaten carrots
three times a day since we were here,
and sometimes oftener —and once or twice
uncooked—and now look at her!"
Nates of the Crasade.
Drink is responsible for the condition of
50,000 persons now In British lunatic
asylums.
Says the Chicago Chronicle: We repeat
that there is nothing more profitable than
a wide and extensive revival in this coun
try of agitation for prohibition of the liquor
traffic.
The word has gone forth throughout
Rhodesia that selling liquor to natives
must be stamped out, and the heaviest
penalties possible have been exaoted to ef
fect this object.
The papers report that arrangements are
making for the establishment in both Cuba
and Porto Rico of large distilleries to be
owned and operated by Americans, these
to be followed by breweries.
The Brewers' Journal congratulated the
trade in its remarkable prosperity, seeing
how that, in the faee of the mercantile and
financial depression that has prevailed
during the past year, the Internal Revenue
figures show an increase in the sales of
malt liquors during that time of 3,000,000
barrels.
Tearooms and Architects.
The inevitable tea table has left its
trace upon the architecture of the
day. The woman who is helping to
make or mar the plans of the new
home now says carelessly: "By the
way, John, I suppose we can easily
throw in a dear little room with queer
windows and a fireplace and a built
in settle for my tea table, can't we?"
John replies easily:
"Oh, yes. No trouble about that,
is there, Mr. Planns?" "Oh, no,"
says the wretched arohitect with a
sickly smile, "none at all." But he
bas planned houses before, and he
goes away in despair and kicks the
dog and snubs the typewriter, and,
perhaps, if he is of a despondent tem
peramanent, he throws himself into
the lake. He knows that even if
he can win madam's unqualified ap
proval in the matter of the baok stairs
and even please her in the construc
tion of the closets, he can never, never
Buit her in case of that tearoom.—Chi
cago Times-Herald.
Th« King: and the Comet,
Cassini, an Italian by birth, was the
best known of the astronomers of the
Paris Observatory when founded by
Louis XIV., and, in consequence, pos
terity has very generally supposed he
was the director. That he failed to
be such was not from any want of
astuteness. It is related that the
monarch once visited the observatory
to see a newly discovered comet
through the telescope. He inquired
in what direction the comet was going
to move. This was a question it was
impossible to answer at the moment,
because both observations and com
putations would be necessary before
the orbit could be worked out. But
Cassini reflected that the King would
not look at the comet again, and would
very soon forget what he had told him;
he therefore described its future path
in the heavens quite at random, and
with entire confidence that any devia
tion of the actual motion from his pre
diction would never be noted by his
royal patron.—Atlantic Monthly.
