THE RELIGION OF JESUS. -Rev. Dr. Talmage Contrasts It with the Blight, of Infidelity. True Religion Prod active of Cheerful Cm* teutiueut. While Unbelief li » Contlnaml Source of Misery and Despair. The following sermon on “The Sustaining Power of Religion” was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle, being based on the text: ' * Though ye have lain among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wipgs of a doveC covered ■with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. —Psalms, lxviil., 13. I suppose you known what the Israelites did down in Egyptian slavery. The men made bricks. Amid the utensils of the brick-kiln there were also •other utensils of cookery—the kettles, the pots, the pans, with which they prepared their daily food; and when these poor slaves, tired of the clay’s -work, lay down to rest, they lay down among the implements of cookery and the implements of hard work. When »«-ey arose in the morning they found their garments covered with the., clay and the smoke and the dust, and besm irelied and begrimed with the utensils of cookery. , Rut after awhile the Lord broke up that slavery, and He took these poor slaves intb a land ■where they. had better garb, bright and clean and beautiful apparel. No more bricks for them to make. Let Pharaoh make his own bricks. When David, in my text, comes to describe the transition of these poor Israelites from bondage amid the brickkilns into the glorious emancipation which ■God had. prepared them, he' says: “Though ye have lain among the pets, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.” Miss Wliately, the author of a celeb*ated book, “Life in Egypt,” said she sometimes saw people in the east choking their food on the tops of houses, and that she had often seen, just before sundown .pigeons anci doves which had during the heat of tbe-day been hiding among the kettles and the pans with which the food was prepared, picking up the crumbs that

the}' might hnd; just about the hour of sunset they would spread their jfi^rings and fly heavenward, entire!}' ' unsoiled by the region in which they had moved, for the pigeon is a very cleanly bird. And as the pigeons flew away the setting sun would throw silvter on their wings and gold on their breasts. So you see it is not a farfetched simile, or an unnatural •comparison, when David in my text says to these emancipated Israelites^ and says to all those who are brought out of any kind of trouble into any kind of spiritual joy; “Though ye have lain among the pots, yet shall ye be as the Wings of a dove covered with .silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.” . Sin is the hardest of all taskmasters. Worse than Pharaoh, it keeps us drudging in a most degrading service; but after awhile Christ comes and He says, “Let iny people go/’ and we pass out from among the brick-kilns of sin into the glorious liberty of the ■Gospel; we put on the clean robes of a •Christian profession, and when, at last, we soar away to the warm nest which God has provided for us in Heaven, we shall go fairer than a dove, its wings covered wUh silver, and its feathers with yellow gold. . I am going to preach something •which some of you do not believe, and that is that the grandest possible ornament is the religion of Jesus Christ. There are a great many people who suppose that religipn is a very different thing from what it really is. The reason men condemn the Bible is because they do not understand the Bible; they have not properly examined it. I)r. Johnson said that Hume told a minister in the bishopric of Durham th%t he had never particularly •examined the New Testament, yet all his life warring against it. Halley, the astronomer, announced his skepticism to Sir Isaac Newton, and Sir Isaac Newton said: “Now, sir, I have examined the subject and you have not; and I am ashamed that j’ou, professing to be a philosopher, consent to condemn a thing you never have examined.” And so men reject the religion of Jesus Christ because they really have never investigated it. They think it something undesirable, something that will not work, something Pecksniffian,

something- hypocritical, something- re- j pulsive, when it is so bright and so beautiful you might compare it to a j •chaffinch, you, might compare it to a robin-redbreast; .you might compare it to a dove, its wings covered with sil- | Ter and its feathers with yellow goh^J Hut how is it if a young man becomes 3, Christian? All through the clubrooms, w here he associates, all through J „ the business circles where he is known, ! there is commiseration. They say: j “What a pity that a young man who i |hrid such bright prospects should so | have been despoiled by those Christians, ! .giving up all his worldly prospects for j something which is of no particular : present worth!” Here is a young | woman who becomes a Christian; j her voice,* her face, her mannersj the charm of the drawing-room, j JNow, all through the fashionable cir- j cles the whisper goes: “What a pity that such a bright light shoufd have ! "been extinguithed, that such a grace- | :ful gait should be crippled, that such j worldly* prospects should be obliter- ! sited!” Ah, my friends, it can be ; shown that religion’s ways are ways ! -of pleasantness, and that all her paths *re peace; that religion, instead of | "being dark and doleful and lachrymose And repulsive, is bright and beautiful, j its wipgs covered with silver a&d its leathers with yellow gold. See, in the first place, what religion j will do for a man’s heart. I care not | liow cheerful a man may naturally be i before conversion, conversion naturally \ "brings him up to a higher standard of j cheerfulness. I do not say he will | laugh any louder; I do not say but he j may stand -back from some forms of j

hilarity in which he once indulged; but there comes into his soul an immense satisfaction. A youag man not a Christian depends upon worldly success to keep his spirits up. Now he is prospered, now he has a large salary, now he has a beautiful wardrobe, now he has pleasant friends, now he has more money than h* knows how to spend; everything goes bright and well with him. But trouble comes—there are many young men in the house this morning who can testify out of their own experience that sometimes to young men trouble does come—his friends are gone,' his salary is gone, his health isgone;\he goes down, down. He becomes sour, cross, queer, misanthropic, blames the world, blames society, blames the church, blames everything, rushes perhaps to the intoxicating cup to drown his trouble, but, instead of drowning his trouble, he drowns his body and drowns his soul. But here is a Christian young man. Trouble comes to him. Does he give up? No! He throws himself back on the resources of Heaven. He says “God is my father. Out of all these disasters I shall pluck advantage for my soul. AH the promises are mine, Christ is miue, Christian companionship is mine. Heaven is mine. What though my apparel be worn out? Christ gives me a robe of righteousness. What though my money be gone? I have a title deed to the whole universe in the promise, ‘All are yours.’ What though ray worldly friends fall away? Ministering angels are my | bodyguard. What though m3’ fare be ! poor and my bread he scant? I sit at the King's banquet!” Oh, what a poor, shallow stream is worldly enjoyment compared with the deep, broad, overflowing river of God’s peace, rolling midway in the Christian heart. Sometimes you have gone out on the iron-bound beach of the sea when there has been a storm on the ocean, and you have .seen the waves lash into white foam at your feet. They did not do you at harm. While there you thought of the chapter written by the jPsalmist, and perhaps you recited it to youself while the .storm was making commentary upon the passage: “God is our refuge and streugth, a very ’present help in time of trouble. Therefore will I not fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” Oh, how independent the

religion of Christ makes a man of worldly success and worldly circumstances! Nelson, the night before his last battle, said: “To-morrow I shall win either a peerage or a grave in Westminster abbey.” And it does not make much difference to the Christian whether he rises or falls in worldly matters; he has everlasting renown anyway. Other plumage may be torn in the blast, but that soul adorned with Christian grace is fairer than the dove, its wings covered with silver, and its feathers with gold. You and I have found out -that people who pretend to lie happy are not always happy, took at that young man caricaturing the Christian religion, scoffing at everything good, going into roystering drunkenness, dashing the champagne bottle to the floor, rolling the glasses from the bar-room counter, laughing, shouting, stamping the floor. Is he happjr? I will go to his midnight pillow. I will see him turn the gas off. I will ask myself if the pillow on which he sleeps *is as soft as the pillow* on which that pure .young man sleeps. J Ah! no. When he opens his eyes in the morning, will the world be as bright to him as that young man who retired at night saying his prayers, invoking God’s blessing upon his own soul and the souls of his comrades, and fathei* and mother, and brothers and sisters far away? No, no! His laugh will ring out from the saloon- so that you hear i| as you pass by, but it is hollow laughter; in it is the snapping of heart-strings and the rattle of prison gates. Happy’! that young man happy? Let him fill high the bowl; he cannot drowm an upbraiding conscience. < Let the balls roll through the bowling alleys; the deep rumble and the sharp crack can not overpower the voices of condemnation. Let him whirl In the dance of sin and temptation and death. All the brilliancy of the scene can not make him forget the last look of his mother when he left home, when she said to him: “Now, my son, you will do right; I am sure you will do right; yo will, won’t you?” That young man happy? Why, across every night there flit shadows of eternal darkness; there are adders coiled up in every eup; there are vultui’es of despair striking tijeir iron beaks into his heart; there are skeleton fingers of grief pihcliing at fhe throat, 1 come in amid the clicking of the glasses and under the flashing of the chandeliers, and I crv: “Woe! wo6! The way of the ungodly shall perish. There is no peace, saith God, to the wicked. The way of the transgressors is hard.” Oh, my friends, there is more joy in one drop of Christian satisfaction than in the whole rivers of siuful delight. Other wings may be

drenched of the storm and splashed of the temptest, but the dove that comes in through the window of this heavenly ark has wings like the dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. ^ Again 1 remark, religion is an adornment in the style of usefulness into which it inducts a man. Here are two young men. The one has fine culture, exquisite wardrobe, plenty of friends, great worldly success, but he lives for himself. His chief care is for hi s own comfort. He lives uselessly. He dies unregretted. Here is another young man. His apparel may not be so good, his education may not be so thorough. He lives for others. His happiness is to make others happy. He is as self-denying as that dying soldier, falling in the ranks, when he said: “Colonel, there is no need of those boys tiring themselves by carrying me to the hospital; let me &ie just where I am.” So this young

man of whom I speak, loves God, wants all the world to love him, is not ashamed to carry a bundle of clothes up that dafk alley to the p< «or. Which of those young men do you admire the better? The one a sham, die other a prince imperial. Oh. do you know anything, my hearer, that is more beau iful to see than a young man start out for Christ? Here is some one falling; ae lifts him up. Here is a vagabond bey; he introduces him to a mission schc ol. Here is a family freezing to death he carries them a scuttle of coal. There are eight hundred millions perishing in midnight heathen* darkness; by all possible means he tries t< send them the Gospel. He may be laughed at, and he may be sneered at, isnd he may be caricatured, but he is n >t ashamed to go everywhere, spying; “I am not ashamed of he Gospel of Christ. It is the pov er of God and the wisdom of God unto salvation.” Such a young man can go thiougli everything. There is no force on earth or in hell t »at can resist him. I show you three spectacles. Spectacle the first: Napoleon passes by vyith the host that went down with

him to Egypt, and up with him through Russia, and crossed the continent bn the bleeding heart of which he set his iron heel, and across the quivering flesh of which he went grinding the wheels of ais gun-car riages—in his dying moment asking his attendants to put on iiis military boots for him. Spectacle the second: Vol aire, bright and learned and witty and eloquent, with tongue and voice and stratagem infernal, warring against God and poisoning whole kingdoms with his infidelity, yet applauded by the clapping hands of thrones and empires and continents—his last words, in delirium supposing Christ standing by the bedside—his last words: “Crush that wretch I” Spectacle the third: Paul—Paul, insignificant in person, thrust out from all refined association, scourged, spat on, hounded like a wild beast from city to city, yet trying to make the world good and Heaven full; announcing resurrection to those who mourned at the barred gates of the dea d, speaking consolations which light up the eyes of widowhood and orphanage and want with 'glow of certain and eternal release; undaunted before those who could take his life, cheek flushed with transport and his eye on Heaven; with one hand shaking defiance at all the foes of earth and all principalities of hell, and with the other hand beckoning messenger angels to come and bear him away, as he says: “I am now' ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand; I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the l^ord, the righteous Judge, will give me.’* f. Which of the three spectacles do you mpst admire? When the wind of death struck the conquerer and the infidel, they were tossed like sea gulls in a tempest, drenched of the wave and torn of the hurricane, their dismal voices heard through the everlasting storm; but when the waves and the wflnd of death struck Paul, like an albatross, he made a throne of the tempest, and one day floated away into the calm, clear summer of Hei.ven, brighter than the dove, it wflngs covered with silver, and its feathers vflth yellow gold. Oh, are you hot ii love with such a religion—a religion that can do so much for a man while he lives, and so much for a man when he comes to die? That I might woo you to a better life, and that I might show you the glories with w'hieh God clothes His dear children in Heaven, I wish I could this morning swing back one of the twelve gates, that there might dash upon your ear one shout of the triumph, that there might flame upon your eyes .one blaze of the splendor. Oh when I speak of that good land, you involuntarily think of some.one there that you loved— father, mother, brother, sister, or dear little child garnered already. You want to know what they are doing this morning. I will tell you wliat they are doing. Singing! You want to know what they wear. 1 will tell you what they wear. Coronets cf triumph! You wonder why oft they look to the gate of the temple, and watch and wait. I will tell why they watch and wait and look to the

gate of the temple. Jb or v our coming! I shout upward the news to-day, for I am sure some of you wili repent and start for Heaven. ‘*Oh, ye bright ones before the throne, your earthly friends are coming. Angels poising midair, cry up the name! Gatekeeper of Heaven, send forward the tidings! Watchman on the battlements celestial, throw the signal!” “Oh,” you say, “religion I am going to have; it is only a question of time.” My brother, I am afraid t lat yqu may lose Heaven the way Louis Philippe lost his empire. The Parisian mob came around the tulleries. The national guard stood in defense of the palace, and the commander said to Louis Philippe: “Shall I fire row? Shall I order the troops to fire? With one volley we can clear the place.” “No.” said Louis Philippe, “not yet.” A few minutes passed on, and then Louis Philippe, seeing the case was hopeless, said to the general: “Now is the time to fire.” “No,” said the general, “it is too late now; don’t you see that the soldiers are exchanging arms with the citizens? It’s too late.” Down went the throne of Louis Philippe. Away from the earth went the house of Orleans, and all because the king said: “Not ye ! not yet!” May God forbid that any of you should adjourn this great subjec; of religion, and should postpone as: ailing your spiritual foes until it is :oo late, too late—you losing a throne in Heaven the way that Louis Philippe lost a throne on earth. When the Judge descends Ir might, Clothed in majesty and ligh ; When the earth shall quake with fear. Where, oh where, wilt thou ippear?

FASHION LETTER. An ImtarrunaMt of Rich «•—Dainty and RzqotaUo Array of Midsummer Attiro— Materials for Dwmih. Eta [Special New York Correspondence. 1 The shops are {flowing with an embarrassment of fashion riches, including a .dainty and exqnisite array of midanmmer attire. Organdies, Marie Antoinette muslins of the finest.texture sprinkled with tiny- bouquets of love" liest flowers. French batistes, India lawns, zephyr fabrics, etc. A season of cottons is already assured, judging by the large advance sales of these beautiful textiles. Moreover the summer fashions, as well as those now adopted, can be most charmingly and effectively carried' out in these soft, sheer materials. The full round waists, the distended sleeves, flowing skirts, shoulder frills, bretelles, plastrons, collarettes, jacket-fronts, guimpes and a& the other taking little et ceteras of the summer toilet will be seen at their very best in the airy goods, and semi-diaphanous fabrics of tlie hot weather season. Dainty tints that look cool will be the most used in making up new toilets of cotton. Their favored trimmings are insertions and edgings of lace, lace, lace, ad infinitTim, varied only by colored embroideries, and white embroideries that resemble open-patterned laces in

their deeign. On toilets that are intended to be worn the summer through, w i t h o u t washing, nitnres will ( be added to those of lace Dresses i of cream- f whit e i ground with dainty col-jr* ored p a t-« terns wiliB| be trimmed w with sating or moire^f ribbon

riDDons tne color of the design, while pretty contrasts of dolor will be used in silk or rel vet, as a lilac ereped gingham with reseda stock collar and girdle, or a sage green cotton crepon with ciel blue stock and belt. Some of the dressy skirts for summer are accordion plaited; others show a simple gathered round skirt, with deep hem turned ip on the outside. Triple flounces of dotted Swiss muslin, plain or flowered, are set upon narrowly gored skirts of undotted, unpatterued Swiss muslin, the flounces edged with lace insertion. Added basques and panier effects, jackets with shirt waists beneath, also panels and overskirts both long and short are the height of fashion. Cream, ecru, black and buttercolored laces in scores of lovely patterns and styles, aiso Irish linen edgings^ insertions, borderings, shoulder, neck and sleeve pieces will be used ta trim every sort of summer gown excepting those which emanate from the tailor for strict utility uses or those of linen and duck in white, tan and ecru. The new models have much shorter coats than have been worn for months past, and have open straight fronts and revers, the back fitted closely to the waist line, and very full below. A shirt waist invariably completes the costume. Jusk now serge and sacking skirts, with cape en suite for street wear, are worn with serpentine waists

of changeable silk or striped or dotted satin. Short jackets are made with revers that widen to form a deep collar across the hack, which is deeper yet over the sleeve tops. Many of the plainer serge and sacking gowns, made by the best of tailors, are simply finished with

^yj.l .1— - ■ 1UVYO O A J IV stitching' and rely upon the silk shirt waist for the only bit of brightness about the dress. Draped skirts are being developed in the most graceful manner possible, though many women who find the plain skirt more becoming still elect for it, and while the gored skirt is an ideal one for a short, stout figure, the modiste can greatly relieve the monotony of this severe 6kirt for her tall, slender patrons by the addition of flounce, overdrapery, tunics, basques, etc. Matrons cling to the longer skirted coats, while younger women.and girls prefer for next season the shorter jacket effects, which afford an opportunity for wearing the very natty shirt wais'ts and blouses that are to rage more generally than ever. Rather wide milliners’ folds, pipings and gimps of every color and effect, plain, jetted, beaded, spangled, iridescent, etc., are used on stylish spring gowns. Taffetas take the lead among the popular silks for this and the coming season. The variety is simply endless, but the shot, dotted, flowered and aatin-stripedpatterns find immense sale Black and white mixtures in dress have lost none of the great favor extended to them last year, for they appear among the very highly-favored color melanges of the season. Bonnets are mere baby head ^coverings, but hats are large and showy. Lace and rarest French flowers are the chosen trimmings for “dress” headcoverings, but on toques, turbans and tiny Princess Maud bonnets for traveling, shopping and the like, ribbon loops, rosettes and spreading Alsatian bows, made of beautiful fancy ribbons in satin, moire, grosgrain and shot annure, are the “leaders.’4
