TALMAGE’S 8ERM0N, The Seoesaity of the Sabbath in Cdirryin* Oat God's nans. II b Xot •( RMMdlr > D*r DrraUL at nwum, Bat Mm Bar Nat Violate It* ISaaeUtT with Coatlanad Impunity.

Rev. T. DeWltt Tdmt^i took for the subject of a recent sermon in Brooklyn Tabernacle: “The Delights of the Sabbath.” HU text was: And call tbs Sabbath a delight.-laalat IvttLia There is an element of gloom striking through all false religions. Paganism h a brood of horrors. The god of Confncius frowned upon iu victims will Mind fate. Mohammedanism promlsei nothing to those exhausted with sin it this world, but an .eternity of the same passional indulgences. But Ood intended that oar religion should hare thi grand characteristic of cheerfulness. 8t Paul struck the key-note when he said “Rejoice evermore, and again I say, re jo tee.” This religion has no spikes foi the feet; it has no hooks for the shoulder it has no long privileges to take, it has n< funeral pyres upon which to leap, it hano juggernauts before which to fall. Iti good cheer is symbolised in the Bible bj the brightness of waters and the redolence of lilies, and the sweetness o! music, and the hilarities of a banquet. A choir of seraphim chant id at its induction, and pealing trumpet, and wavinj palm, nud flapping wings of archangel are to eelobrato its triumphs., It b-gat its chief mission with the shout: “Glory to God in the highest?” and it will closi its earthly misstot%nith the ascription: “Hallelujah, the Lord God omnipotent reignoth!” , But men have said that our religion is not cheerful, because we have such t doleful Babbath. They say? “Ton ca* have your religions assemblages, and your long faces, and your sniffling cant, and your Psalm books, and your Bible. Give us the Sunday excursion, and th< convivial laughter. We have ao much joj that we want to spread it all over the sevgj| on days of the week, and you shall nol have one of oar days of worldly satisfaction for religious dolefulness.” I want *c show these men—if there are any such in this house this morning—that they are under a great delusion, and that God intended the flfty-twiVSiiudays of the year to be hung up like bells in a tower, boating n per|M>lual chime of joy and glory and salvation and Heaven; fori want to carry ont the idea of the tagt, “and call the Sabbath a delight.” 1 remark, in the first place, we are to And in this day the joy of healthy repose. In this democratic country we all have to work—some with hand x, some with brains, some with foot. If there is in all this house a hand that- has not, during the past year, been stretched forth to some kind of toll, let it be lifted. Rot one, not one. Yon sell the goods. You teach the school. You doctor in the sick room. Yon practice nt the bar. Yon edit a newspaper. You tan the hides. Yon preach the Gospel. Yon mead the shoes. You sit at the shuttle. You carry Uw hod of bricks‘up the ladder on the w^P And the one occupation Is as honorable as the other, provided God calls you to it. 1 care not what you do, if you only do it well. But when BatnrUny night comes you are jaded and worn. The hand cannot so skillfully manufaet ure; the eye can not see so well; the brain Is not so clear; the judgment is not •o well balauced/A prominent manufacturer told me that he could see a difference between the goods which went out of his establishment on Saturday from the ■ good* that went out on Monday. He said: “They were very different indeed. Those that were made in the former part of the week, lie cause of the rest that hod been previously giveu, were better than those that were made in the latter part of the week, when the men were tired out.” The Sabbath come*, and it bathes the soreness from the limbs, qhiets the agitated a brain and puts ont the fires of anxiety “ that have been burning all the week. Our bodies are seven-day clocks, nud unices on the seventh day they are wound np they run down iuto the grnvo. The Snhhath was intended as a savings .bank. Into it we are to gather the resources upon which we are to draw all the week. That man who breaks the Hahbath robs his own nerve, his own muscle, his own brain, his own Isiae. He dips up the Wine of his own life .nud throws it away. He who breaks the Lord's day gives a mortgage to disease and death upon his entire physical estate, and at the most unexpected moment that mortgage will l« foreclosed and the soul ejected from the premises. Every gland, and pore, and celt, and finger-nail demand- the seventh day for rejmse. The respiration of the lungs, the throbs of the pulse in the wrist, the motion of the bone in its socket declare: “Remember the Hahbath day to keep it holy.” There are thousands of men who hare had their lives dashed out against the golden gates of the Sabbath. A prominent London merchant testifies that thirty years ago he went to Loudon. He says: “I have during that time watched minutely, aud I have noticed that the men who went to business oh the Lord's day ar opened their counting-houses have, without n single exception, coroe to failure,” A prominent Christian merchant in Boston say*: “I find it don't pay to work on Sunday. When I. was a boy I noticed ont on Long Wharf there were merchants who loaded their vessels on the Babbath day, keeping their men busy from morning till night, and it is Buy observation that they themselves earn- to nothing—these merchants—and their children came to nothing. It doesn’t pay,” he says, "to work on the Sabbath.” 1 appeal to your observation. Where arvA^p men who. twenty years ago, were Sabbath-breakers, aud who have been Sablwlh-breakers ever since? W ithout a single exception, you will tell me, they have come either to financial or moral ' beggary. I defy you to point out a single exception. and you can lake the whole world for your field. It lias either been a financial or moral defalcation in every instance. Six hundred and forty physicians in Ismdon petition in Parliament, saying: “Wse must have the Hahbath obeyed. We can not have health ia this city and in this nation unless the Sabbath is observed.” Those in our bwn cojrfntrv have given evidenco on the earn/ side. The man wh» takes down the shutters of his store on thp Babbath talrfsdowa the eurseof the Almighty God./That farmer who cultures his ground on the Babbath day raises a crop of neuraUria and of con* sumptonandof death. A farmer said: “1 defy your Christian Babbath. 1 will raise a Sunday crop.” 8/he went to work aud plowed the ground/ om-Bunday, and harrowed it on RundJv, and he planted corn on Sunday, and he/' reaped the corn on Sunday, nod he gdtherrd it into the barn on Sunday. '‘Tnare^l’ he says, “I have proved to you that all this idea about a fatality accompanying Sabbath v«>rk is a iwrfect sham. My*/orn is garnered end all Is well.” Bat before many weeks passed the Lord God struck that bant with His lightning and away weal the Sunday crop.

oo £rrM i* the moral depression wm« Ins upon thnee who tMl m*>n the Sabbath 4ujr that you may hare rituel (it you hare not, t call your attention to the fact) that in rases where the public interest demands .Sabbath toil the moral depression is so great that there are but very few who «m stand ttf Ft r instance, the police uerriou, without whish not one of our house* would be gufe—there are very few who eaa stand the pressure and the temptation of it. In London, where there . 'are fire thousand policemen, the statistic is given that in onf-year nine hundred and twenty-one of thatUve thousand were dismissed, fire hundred and twenty-fire were suspended, and two thousand four hundred and ninety-two were fined. Now, It the moral depression be so great in occupations that are posture!)- necessary for the peace and prosperity of society, l psk you what must he the moral depress'd® fit those cnees when- there is no SMuesity for Sabbath work, and where a choose* worldly business on the » day j&t because he likes it or ‘ to bis emoluments’ During it was found out that those I <

ttay tariff! out tkNt which worked Mr. Bagnnll, » promhwu* - chut, (fives thin testimony; ! find we hire fewer incidents la oar esta blisfawat and fewer interruptions, now w t observe the Lord** day; and at the ck*e of the year, now that we keep the Bebbnth, I find we tarn >ut more iron and b are larger profits than any year when we srorked all the serea days.” The fact is Sabbathmade ropes will break, and Sabi inth-made ■hoes will leak, and Sabbath-made coats will rip, and Sabbath-made muskets will miss Are, and Sabbath ooenpatfc ins will be blasted. A gentleman said: “I in rented a shuttle on the Lord’s day. I was rery busy, so 1 made the model of that new shuttle on the Lord’s day. 80 very busy was 1 during the week that I had to occupy many Sabbaths. It was a grot t success. 1 enlarged my buildings; I built new factories, and made hundreds of thousands of dollars; but I hare to tell y« n that all the result of that work on tie Sabbath has been to me ruin. I enlarge! I my buildings, I made a great many thousands of dollars, but 1 have lost all, and 1 charge it to the fact of that Sunday t buttle.” “I will place in two companies tie men in this community who break the Sabbath and the men who keep it, and then 1 ask you who ore the best friends of society? V.*ho are the best friends of me fals ? Who hare the best prospects, for this world? Who bare the best for the war id that is to come? Again, I remark, we ought te hare in the Sabbath tbe joy of domestic t eiiaion add consecration. There ate sOidf Very gddd parents who have the faculty (if making the Sabbath a great gldom. Their children run up against the wall Jf parental lugubrious ness on that day, They are sorry when Sunday comes, an 1 glad when itjgoes away. They think of ere rr thing bad on that day. It is the worse (lay to them, really, in all the week. There are persons who, because they were brought up in Christian families, where (here were wrong notions about the Sabbath, hare gone ont into dissipation and will be lost. A man said tom': “I hare a perfect dia - gust for the Sabbath. I never saw my father smile on Sunday. It was such a dreadful day toms when I « as a boy, 1 never got over it. and never w ill.” Those parents did not “call the Sabbath a delight;” they made it a gloom. But there are houses represented here tills morning where the children say throush the week i “I wonder when Sunday will come!" They are anxious to haTe it co me. I hear their hosanna in the house; !1 hear their hosanna in the school. Ood intended the Sabbath to be especially a ' lay for the father. The mother is home a II the week. Sabbath-day comes, and Ood says to the father, who has been busy 'from Monday morning to Saturday night at the store or away from home: “This is your day. See what you ran do in this lUtle ; lock in preparing them for Heaven. This day I set apart for you.” Yon know rery well that the *e are many parents who are mere suit ers of the household: they provide the food and raiment. Once in awhile, pv rhaps, they hear the child read a line or two in the new primer; or, if there be a ea«e of especial discipline, and the mother can not manage it, the child is brought up in the court-martial of th» father’i discipline and punished. That is all there is of it. No scrutiny of that child’s immortal interest »: no realisation of the : 'act that the child will soon go out in a 'rorld where there are gigantic and overwhelming temptations that hare swamp rd millions. But in some household* it is not that way; the home, beautiful on ordinary days, is more beautiful now that the Sabbath has dawned. There is more joy i n the ‘‘good morning;" there is more tenderness in the morning prayer. The father looks at the child, and the child looks i d the father. The little one dares now to a ik questions without any fear of b»ing answered: “Don’t bother me—I must be off to the store." Now the father looks at the child, and.he sect not merely the blue eyes, the arched brow, the nag lashes, the sweet lip. He see in that child a long line of earthiy destinies; he nee* in that child an immeasurable etert ity. As he touches that child, he says: “I wonder what will be the destiny of this little one?” And while this Christian father is thinking and praying, the gr eet promise flows through his soul: “Of such is the iiugdom of Heaven.”, And h (feels a joy. not tike that which sounds in the dance, or Is wafted from th<‘ froth if the wine cop, or that which is like th ? “crackling of thorns under a pot,” but the joy of domestic reunion and eonseci ation. Have I been picturing something that is merely fanciful, or is it pissible for you and for m - to have such a homo as that? I believe it is possible. I have a statistic that I would like to give you. A great mauy people, you know, say there is nothing in the Christian discipline of a household. In New Hampshire there were two neighb ifhoods—the one of six families, the other of five families. The six families disregarded the Sabbath. In time five of these families were broken np by the separtdion of husbands and wives; the other I iy the father becoming a thief. Eight or nine of the parents became drunkards, one committed suicide, aud ail came to penury. Of some forty or fifty descendants, about twenty are known to be dr inkards and gamblers, and dissolute. Four or fire have been in State prison, i lae fell in a ilucl. Rome are in the alms-house. Only »nc became a Christian, and he after first having been outrageously dissipated. The ether five families that regarded the Sabbath were all prosperous. Sight or ten of the children are consisten; members of the church. Borne of them became officers In the church—one is a mi: lister of the dospel, one is a missionary <o China. No poverty among any of them The home - itcad is n»w in the hands of the third generation. Those who bare died have died In the peace of the Gospel. Oh, is there nothing iu a household .that remembers Sod’s holy day? Can it be iiossible that those who disregard this holy commandpent can be prospered for this life or nave any good hope of the life that is to tonic?

Again. we ought to have It the Sabbath he joy of Christian assemblage. Where ire all those people going on the Sabbath! ITouseejbem moling up and down the itreet*. Is it a festal day! people might »sk. Has there been wou public edict 'ommandmg the people to come forth! So; they are only worshipcis of (loi who ire going to their places of r-ligious sere. Ice. In what delicate scale nhall ! weigh the joy of Christian convocation! It gives brightness to the eye, and a flush to the 'hock, and a pressure to the hand, and a ihrll! to the heart. Yon see the aged man lettering along on his suit through the lisle. You see the little ch .Id re d by the hand of its mother, Yon look around ind rejo’Oe that this is the Lord's day, tad this the communion of taints. “One Lord, one faith, one baptisn u" 8 une fa - miliar tune sets all the soul a-quiver and i-quake with faptUris. Yt, plunge into tome old hymn and all ourc ires and anxl'ties are bathed off. The gl »rio ns Gospel transports us. the Spirit de tee nds, Jeans Itpears. and we feel the bo* tding, spreadng, electric joy of ChrUtiat convocation. I look upon the Church t f God as one rast hosanna. Joy dripping from the mptismal font, joy glowing in the sacranen»! . up. joy warbling in the anthem, oy beating against the gi te of Heaven rith a hallelujah like the vrice of mighty humVjr lags. Beautiful lor situation! fha joy. of the whole earth 1 a Mount Zion. i It is the day and the place where Christ ■eviews His troops. them out in in

i carry a hoary yoke, ' ' ' d and *r which "\ chalices of the golden eel in body, mind which God has handWith wha t reruls Ion and with what pity we mast look out on that large class of persons in our day who would throw discredit upon the Lord's day. There are two things which Christian people ought never to give np: the one is the Bible, the other Is the Sabbath. Take away one, and you lake both. Take either, aad farewell to Christianity in this country, farewell to our civil and religions liberties, When they go, all go. He who has ever spent Sunday ia Paris, or Antwerp, Or Home, a be bi! an intelligent Christian will pray God I hot the day will never conte when the 8»bbatb (ft Continental Europe shall put its foot Upon onr shores, i hat! a friend ia Syracuse who lived to be one hundred years of »?e. He said to me in bis ninety-ninth yeart **1 went across the mountains in the early factory of this country. Sabbath- morning cante, We were beyond the reach of civilisation. Mr comrades wen* all going out for an excursion. 1 said: ‘NO, I won't go; it is Sunday.’ Why, they* laughed. They saids •We haven’t any Sunday here.’ *Oh, yes,’ I said, ‘you have. I brought it with me over the mountains.’ ” There ate two or three ways in widen we can war against Sabbath-breaking usages in this day, and the first thing is to got our children right upon this subject aad teach them t hat the Sabbath day is the holiest of ail the days, and t* ® and the gladdest Unless you teach y<.',lr child under the paternal roof to keep the Lord’s day there are nine hundred and ninety chances out of a thousand It wilt never learn to keep the Sabbath. You may think to shirk responsibility in the matter, and send your child to Sabbath* school and the house of God. That will not relieve the matter. 1 want to tell you in the name of Christ, my maker and my Judge, that your example will be more potential than any instruction they get elsewhere, and if you disregard the Lord’s day yourself, or hi anywise throw contempt upon it, yon are blasting your children with an Infinite curse. It is a rough truth, 1 know, told in a rough way; but it is God's truth, nevertheless. Your child may go on to seventy or eighty years of age, but that child will never get over thf awful disadvantage of having had u Sabbath-breaking father or a Sabbath-breaking mother. It: is the joy of many of u« thv we ran look back to an early hofffi* where God was honored, and dfiien the Sabbath came it was a day of great consecration and joy. W e remember the old faces around the table that Sabbath morning. Our hearts melt when we think of those blessed associations, and we may have been off and committed many indiscretion s and done many wrong things, but the dap will never come when we torget the early home in which God’s day was regarded, and father and mother told us to keep holy the Sabbath. There Is another way in which we can war against the Sabbath-breaking usages of the country at this time, and that is by making onr houses of worship attractive and the religious services inspiring. I plead not for a gorgeous audience-chain- I ber; I plead not for groined rafters or maguificent fresco; but I do plead for comfortable churches, home-like churches 1 —places where the church-going population behave as they ought to. Make the church Wellcome to all. however poorly | clad they may be, or whatever may have been their past history; for I think the Church of God i- not so much made for you who could have churches in your own house, but for the vast population of our great cities who are treading on toward death, with no voice of mercy to arrest them.. Ah? when the prodigal comes into the church, do not stare at I him as though he had no right to come. Give him the best seat you can find for him. Sometimes a man wakes up from his si a. and he says: “I’ll goto the house of God.” Perhaps becomes from one motive, perhaps fro m another. He finds the church dark and the Christian people frigid (and there are no people on earth who mn be more frigid than Christian people when they try), and the music Is doll, and he never comes again. Suppose one ol: these meu^eaters the church. As he comes in he Wars a song which his mother sang when he a hoy: he remembers it. He sits: do fin, and some one hands him a book, open at

He says: “Do you nave this so every Sunday? I have heard that the house of God was a doleful place, tnd Christians trere lugubrious and repeling! I have really enjoyed myself!” rhe next Sabbath the man is again in the ; iame place. Tears of repentance start j town his cheek, he begins to pray; and j rhen the communion table is spread, he ! iits at it, and some one reaches over and lays: “1 am surprised to find you here. [ thought you didn’t believe in such hiugs.” “Ah!" he says, “I -have been •aptured. I came in one day, and I found rou were sll so loving and cheerful here hat I concluded 1 would come among you. There thou go»st 1 wifi go: thy people hall he my people, and thy God my God. There thou dies): will I die, and there will be buried.” Ah! you can’t drive men out of their ins, but you can coax them out —you can harm them out.

I would to God that we coaid all come to l higher appreciation of this Sabbath her* tageT We can not coont the treasures of me Christian Sabbath.

Congress has been liberal in its appropriations for the suppression of I Ms disease, but has not assumed authority to regulate tho movements of animals except in transit from one State to ~ other without tho consent of the St concerned. In States where the disc existed the* necessary legislation has been obtained for enforcing quarantines and for condemning and Maughtoring affected animals and co-operating vrilth the United States authorities in suppressing the disease. From a report of tho work done by ths Bureau of Animal Industry iia ’ stumping out p'.euro-pncumonia during the seven months ending July 31, 1383, it is learned that a large amount of work has been accomplished. Up te that date and within the time mentioned the Bureau had purchased and siau, ered 6,CM7 diseased anil exposed mats. Its inspectors had carefully jbxamined more than 180,000 head of cattle and 1,412 premises had been disinfected. In addition to this there has been the supervision of animals in transit through nnd across the infected districts and of the trade injury cows in ail of the infected counties. There lias been tho continual supervision of all the animals in tho infected oounties and the frequent re-examination of herds in suspected districts. As showing the manner in whii operations have been conducted ii fected counties, the cattle were <! fully examined as soon as possible the quarantine was established, a numbered tag was put in the ei every bovine animal in the infected idisj trict to prevent a change of animals from one farm or stable to another without a permit, and these numlbers were recorded in the office of the Bureau in the respective States where tho work was going on. Post-mortem examinations were mado upon all animals which died within the infected limits, and in this way many diseased herds were found which otherwise would have escaped observation. On the discovery of an infected herd the animals are appraised and slaughtered, and the premises thoroughly disinfected. A sufficient number of men are employed who do nothing but renovate and disinfect buildings and yards where the disease has existed. A mixture of chloride of lime and whitewash is applied with a force-pump so thoroughly as to penetrate every crevice of a building where infection may exist. In some large stables the constant work of ten men for two or three weeks has been required before the premise*'were in a proper condition for the reception of fresh animals. It is stated by Mr. Salmon. Chief ot the Bureau, that the extent of the disease has been very materially leetieaed in all the States where it has existed, and if the work is continued for a reasonable length of time we shall hi able to entirely eradicate this disease tram our country.—if.
