TALMAGE'S BEBMON. ELOQUENT DISCOURSE BY THE BROOKLYN PREACHER. A Reply to tbo Query, “What fa the Church T“—lt Should He a Great, Practical, Homely, Omnipotent Ilelp-Tbe HuilnoM of Worship. Helpful Churcliou. Dr. Talmage's subject last Sunday morning was •Helpful Ciiurehes," the text being Psalms xx 2, "bond thee help from the sanctuary." If you should asir titty mon what the church is, they would give you fifty different answers. One man would say, ‘•lt is a convention of hypocrites.” Another, “It is an assembly of people who feel themselves a groat deal better than others. Another, “It Is a place lor gossip, where wolverine dispositions devour each other.” Another, “It is a place lor tho cultivation o. superstition and cant.” Another, “It is an arsenal where theologians goto get pikesand muskets and shot.” Another, “It is an art gal.ery, whore men go to admire grand arches, and exquisite fresco, and musical warble, and the Dantesque in gloomy Imagery.” Another man would say: “It is the Lest filace on earth excel t my own home. f I forgot thee, O Jerusalem! let iny right hand forget her cunwing.” Now, my iriends, whatever the church is, my text tells you what it ought to ba-* great, practical, homely omnipotent heip. "bend tnee help from the sanctuary.” The pew ought to yield restfulness to the boiy. The co.or of tbo upholstery ought to yield pleasure to tue eye. The entire service ought to yield strength for tbe moil and strugg.e el every day life. The Sabbath ought to bo harnessed to all the six days of t.ie week ; drawing ti.em in the right direction. Tbe church ougnt to be a magnet, visibly and mightily ahecting all the homes of the worshipers. Every man gets roughly jostled, gets abused, gets cut, gets insulted, gets sl-ghted, gels exasperated. By the time the Sabbath comes he has an accumulat on of six days of annoyance, and that is a starveling church service which has not strength enough to take that accumulated annoyance and hurl it into perdition. Tne basinets man sits down in church headachey from the week s engagements. Perhaps he wishes ho hud tarried at home on the lounge with the newspapers and the slippers. Tout man wants to ba cooled od and graciously diverted. The first wave of tbe re-1 ligious service ought to dash clear ' over the hurricane decks and leave him dripping with holy and glad and heavenly emoton. “aond thee help from the sanctuary.” Sabbath Saajjs. In the first place, sanctuary help ought to come from the wnsic. A woman dying in England persisted in singing to the last m nent. The attendonta tried to persuade her to stop, saying it would exhaust her and make her disease worse. She answered: “I must sing. 1 am only practicing for the heavenly choir." Music on earth is a rehearsal for music in Heaven. If you and I are going to take partun that great o.'chcstra, it h high time that

we were Htrißgmg*n<l tthrumming our harps. They tellsß that Thalberg and Gottejhalk never would go into a concert until they had first tn private roheare.d. although they were such mas-ters-of the icetroment. And uau it be that we expect to take a part in the groat oratorio.of Heaven if we do 1 not rehearse here? IB.it I am not speakings! the next warid. -fSabbaUh song ought to -set all the week to mus e. We'want not more harmony, not more artistic expression, but'more volume in our church 'music. Now I ammo worshiperof noise, but 1 believe that if our American churches would, w.th full heartiness 0/soul and full emphasisof voice, sing the songs of Zion this part «f sacred worst i j would have tenfold more power than it hue now. Why not take this part of thesacred service and lift it to -where it ought to be? All the annoyances of life anight be drowned out of 'that sacred song. Do you tell me that it is •tot fashionable to sing very loudly? Then, Isay, away with the fashion. We dam back the great Mississippi of congregational singing and let a few drops of melody trickle through the dam. I say, take away the dam and let the billows roar on their way to the oceanic heart of God. Whether it is fashionable to sing loudly or not, let us sing with all po «n>le emphasis. We hoar a great deal of the art of singing, of music as an entertainment, of music as a reorertien. It is high time we heard something -of music as a help—a practical help. In order to do this we must only have a few hymns. New tunes and nefw hymns every Sunday make poor congregational sing.ag. Fitly hymns are enough for fifty years. The Episcopal church prays the same prayers every Sabbath, and year after year and century after century. For that reason thay have the hearty responses. Lot 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 force of this exercise. Twenty thousand years will wot wear out the hymns of William Cowper and -Charles Weslev and Isaac Watts. My friends, it was intendod that all the lesser sounds of the world should bo drowned out in the mighty tongue of congregational song beating against the gates of Heaven. Do you know how they mark the ho rs in Heaven? They have no clocks, as they have no candles, but a great pendulum of halleluiah swinging across Heaven from , eternity to eternity.Let those re use to sihg Mho never knew our (Sod, But ehildien of th- heavenly king Should speak their Joy* üb.oad. The Discourse. Again I remark that sanctuary help ought to come from the sermon. Os a thousand people in this or any other audience, how many want sympathetic help? Do you guess a hundred? Do you I fuosssoo? You have guessed wrong.; will tell you just.the proportion. Out of a thousand people in this audience there are just 1,000 who need sympathetic help. These young people want I it just as much as the old. The old people sometimes seem to think they have a monopoly of the rheumatism, and the neuralgias, and the headaches, and the physical disorders of tho world. But I tell you there are no worse heartaches than are felt by some of these joung people. Do you know how much of the work is done by tho young? Raphael died at 37, Richard 111 at 33, Gustavus Adolphus died at IM: Innocent HI. came to his mightiest influence at 37; Cortez conquered Mexico at 30; Don John won Lepanto at 25; Grotlus was Attorney General at 24, and I have noticed atnid all classes of mqn that some of the severest battles and the toughest work comes before 30. Therefore we must have our sermons and our exhortation in prayer meetingall sympathetic with the young. Acd so with these people further on in life. What do these doctoft and lawyers nnd mechanics care uliout the abstractions of religion? What they want is help to bear the whimsicalities ' of patients, the browbeating of legal

opponents, tho unfuirnossof customers, wno have plenty of fault finding lor every imperfection of handiwo but no praise for twenty excel rices. What doos that bra n racked, hand blistered man care for Zwingle's “Doctrine of Original Sin,” or-Augustines “Anthropo ogy?" You might us well go to a man who has tho pleurisy and put on his side a plaster mode out of Dr. Parr's “Treatise on the Medloal Jurisprudence.” What we want in our s rmons and Christian exhortlons is more symnattiy. When Father Tuyor proac..ed in the Sailors' Bethai at Boston, the Jack tars felt that they had ho p for their duties among the ratlines and the forecastles. When Richard Weaver preached to tho Operatives in Oldham, Ehglanl, all tho workingmen so t they had more grace for tho spindles. When Dr. South preached to kings and and princes and princesses, all tho mighty men and women who heard him fe-t preparation for their high station. Neceiwlly for Prayer. Again I remark that sanctuary help ought to come through the prayers ot all the peop o. Tho door of tne eternal is hung on one hinge-a gold hinge, tho hinge of prayer -and when the whole audience lay hold of that door, it must comeopen. There are hern many people spending their first Sabbath after some groat bereavement. What will your prayer do for them? How will it help the tomb in that man s heart? Here are icople who hWo not been in church before for ten'years. What will your prayer do for them by ro.lmg over their soul holy memories? Here are people in crises of awful temptation. They are on tho verge of despair or wild biund ‘ring or theft or suicide. What will your prayer do for them this morning in the way of giving them strength to resist? Will you be chiefly anxious about the fit of the glove that yovi put to your forehead while you prayed? Will you ba chicly critical of tho rhetoric of the p istors petition? No. No. A thousand dj>ple will fed, “That prayer is for me,” and at every step of the prayer chains ought to drop off, and temp.es of sin ought to-crush into dust, and jubilees of deliverance ought to brandish their trumnGts. In most of oar churches we have 'three prayers -the opening prayer, what is ca ied the “long praver,” and the closing prayer. There are many people who snend the first prayer in arranging their apparel after entrance, and spend the second p.-ayer—the “long prayer”—in wie ling it were through, and spend the last prayer in preparing to stirt (for home. The most insignificant part iof everv re’igio is service is the eeri moi. The more important parte are i t le Scripture leseon and the prayer. The sermon is only a man t liking to a man. The Scripture lesson is Gol talking to man. Prayer is man talk’ng to God. Oh, if we un lerstoo 1 the grandeur and the pathos o f ttis exercise of prayer, instead of teeing a dull exercise, we would imagine that the room was full es divine and angelic apiiearances. But, mv friends, the old -style of church will not do tho wes-k. Wo might as well toy to take all the passengers from New York to Buffa’o by stage coach, or all the passengers from Albany to Buffalo by canal boat, or to do all" the ba.tling of the wor d with bow and arrow., as with the old style of _l»._til; J 2 r a 2 .

We ’; want to go singing, rising, rejoicing, r triumphing. We want half the-doors ’ of the church set in that direction. ■ We want half the iprayera that way, 1 half the sermons that way. We-want 1 to know how to get ashore from the > tumult of this world into tjie land of ' everlasting peace. We do not want to ’ stand doubting and-Shivering wbem wo 1 i.go away from this world.

When he said ito ■ I her, “Is the path marrow?” she anI swered: “The path is narrow.

How Lwonder when you and I will cross over! Some .of you have had about enough of the thumping and flailing of this life. A drs t from the fountains of Heaven would do you good. Complete release, you could stand very well. If you got on the other side and had permission to come back and join your friends on earth, you would say, “No, let moltarry here until they come, I shall not risk going back.

In Froybourg, Switzerland, there is the trunk of a tree 400 years old. That tree was planted to commemorate an event. Alout ten miles from the city the Swiss conquered tho Burgundians, and a young man wanted to take the tidings to the city. He took a tree branch and ran with such sneed the' ten miles that when ho reached tho city waving the tree branch he had only strength to cry, “Vioioryl” and dropped dead. The tree bruieb that

be earned was planted, and It grow to be a great tree, twenty feet in circumfor nee, and tho remains of k are there to this day.

On July 31 a novel experiment was tried tn Paris. Five balloons were sent up from tLe Esplanade des Invalides, and the aeronauts in charge of than were instructed to desceed within an hour a-i close as possible to Combs la Ville, after passing over a radium of thirty kilometres suppesed to occupied by an enemy. After the bal’oons were sent up a numbar of cyclists left the Esplanade with instructions to pursue an4l capture any ■of the five balloons that failed to cross tha zone-of investment. Three of the •aeronauts succeeded ir their purpose, while the other two ba'loons fell within the radius and were immediately captured hy the cyclists.'thus demonstrating how useful the latter would be in actual warfare. Informative from the Slot. “A<yearor so ago.” said a young man to a Pittsbunghcr, “I spent a few weeks in New Orteans. One day I saw a machine which bore the inscription: ‘Draria nickel in the slot and learn bow to make your pants last.’ As I hadn't a great deal of money I thought an in- | vestment of 5-cents to show me how to • save the purcTiase of a pair of trousers I
