TALMAGE'S SEE MON. T A Flea tor Rational Recreation ac an Aid to Christianity. • Gjrauiulnm ud Out-Door HporU CoaMMdcd-AmnMiaenb that Am to Both Body ud Soul Rer. T.DeWitt Talmage took the sub Ject of “Our Social Recreations” in a recent discourse before his Washington congregation, basing his words on the texts: They (hat use this world as not abusing iu-I-Cor.. Tit., hi. , And it came to peso, when the hearts were uerry. that they said, call (or Samson, that he uay make aa snort—Jndires. srL. at , There were 3,000 people assembled in 'the Temple of Dagon. They had cotne to make sport of eyeless Sampson. “They were all ready for the entertain ment They began to clap and pound, impatient for the amusement to begin, mod they cried: “Fetch him out! fetch him ont!” Yonder 1 see the blind old giant coming, led by the hand of a child into the very midst of the temple. At his first appearance there .goes up a shout of slaughter and derision. The blind old giant pretends he is tired, and wants to rest himself -against the pillars of the house; so he says to the lad who leads him. “Show me where the main pillars are!” The lad does so. Then the strong man puts Jus right hand on one pillar and his left hand on another pillar, -and, with the mightiest push that martal ever made, throws himself forward until the whole house comes down in thunderous crash, grinding the audiance like grapes in a wine press. “And so it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they uid. call for Samson, that he may make us sport? Anil they called for -Samson out of the prison house, and he made them sport.” < In other words, there are amusements that are destructive, and bring down disaster and. death upon the; heads of those who practice them. While they laugh and cheer they die. The 3,000 people perished that day in iGaza are as nothing compared to the ’tens of thousands who have lieen deployed by siufu^anins^ments. f liut my first text implies that there is a lawful use of th<* world, well as an unlawful abu.s* of it. and the difference between the man Christian and the man un-Christian is. that in the former cast* the man masters the world,b while in the latter case the world masters him. For whom did <Si>d make this grand atld beautiful world? For whom thisjf wonderful expenditure of color, this gracefulness of line, this mosaic of the ground, this fresco of the sky, this glowing fruitage of orchard and vineyard, this full orchestra of the tempest, in which the tree branches flute, and the winds trumpet, and the thunders drum, and all the splendors of earth and sky come teladiing their cymbals? For whom did tiud spring the arched bridge of colors resting upon buttresses of broken storm-cloud? For whom did He gather the upholstery of fire’around the w indow of the setting sun? For all men; but more especially for His own. dear children. t i__ U..JU - ««<!

• * ~" -- “ - —' -spread a great feast after it tp celebrate the completion of the structure, dp you allow strangers to eonte in and occupy the place, while you thrust your own children in the kitchen, or the barn, or the fields? Oh, noj! You nay: “I am Tery glad to see stranger*: Ifn my mansion, but my own sons and daughters shall hare the first! right there.” Now. God has built this grand mansion of the world, and lie has spread a glorious-least in it. an<^ while those who are strangers to His grace mar came in, I think that God especially intends to give the udvatitage to His own children—those who are the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty, those who, through grace, Can look up and say:. Abba, Father.” You can not make jme believc that tiilAgiyes more advantages to the world than He gives to the church bought <iwith His 1 own blood. If, thcr^nre. people of the world have looktst with dolorous sympathy up »u those-who make profession of religion, and have said. (“Those new converts are going down into privation and into hardship; why did they not tarry a i;tt. • i >!ig?r in the world, and have some of its enjoyment* and amusements and recreations?” -I say to such men of the world, "You are greatly mistaken:" and vvhjen I get through I will show that those people who stay out of the kingdom of God have the hardship and self-denials, while those who cbtue in have the joys ts»d satisfactions. la the name of the King of Heaven and earth, I serve a writ of ejectment upon all the sinful and polluted who bare squatted on the domain of earthly pleasure as though it belonged to ,'ifia, while I claim, in behalf of the g*ood and the pure and the true, th« eternal inheritance which'God ha* given thefn. Hitherto, Christian philanthropists, clerical and lav. h*v< busied themselves chiefly In de oouneing sinful recreations; but 1 feel we have no right to stand before men and women in whose hearts thert la a desire for recreation amounting ti positive necessity, denouncing tHi; 4usd that and the other tujing. whei we do not propose to give them some thing better. God helping me ant with reference to nay last account, shall enter upon a sphere not u.»uai ii sermonising, but a subject! which think ought to.be presented st thi time. I propose now to lay befor you some of the recreations which an not only innocent, but positively help ful and advantageous. r In the first place, I commend, amon| Indoor recreatious, musie—-vocal au Instrumental. Among the first thing created was the bird, so that tne eartl might have music' at the start. Thi world, which began with so sweet i -serenade, la finally to be demolish**, amidst the ringing blast of the arefa . angel’s trumpet, so that aa there urn n.asCe at the star} there shall be musi

at the close. While this heavenly art has often been dragged into the uses of superstition and dissipation, we all > know it may, be the means of high moral culture. Oh, it is a grand thing tp have our children brought up amidst the sound of cultured voices, and amidst the melody of musical instruments. I# B There is in this art an indescribable fascination for the household.» Let all those families who have the means to afford it, have flute, or harp, or piano, or organ. As soon as the hand is large enough to compass the keys, teach it how to pick out .the melody. Let our young men try this heavenly art upon their nature. Those who have gone into it fully have found in it illimitable recreation ai d amusement. Dark days, stormy nights, seasons of sickness, business disasters will do little toward depressing the soul which can gallop off over musical keys, or soar in jubilant lay. It will cure pain. It will rest fatigue. It will quell passion.' It will revive health. ' It will reclaim dissipation. It will strengthen the immortal soul. In the battle of Waterloo Wellington saw that the Highlanders were falling back. He said: “What is the matter thero?” He was told that the music had ceased playing^ and he called up the pipers and ordered them to strike up an inspiring air; and no sooner did they strike the air than the Highlandwere tallied, and helped to win the day. Oh, yes who have been routed in the i conflicts of life, try by the force of mu-1 sic to rally your scattered battalions. Sjtill further: I commend, as worthy of their support, the gymnasium. This institution is gaining in favor every year, and I know nothing more free from dissipation, or more calculated to recuperate the physical and mental energies. While there are a good many j»eople who have employed I this institution, there is a vast num-! ber .who are ignorant of its ex- ' celleneies. There are weak and despondent spirits who through i the gymnasium' might be roused up j to exuberance and exhileration of life. There are many Christian people j despondent from year to year, who j might, through'such an institution, be j benefited in their spiritual relations.. There are Christ in u people who seem i to thirk that it is a good sign to be j poorly: and because Richard 1 Baxter i and Robert Hail were invalids, they think that by the same sickness they may come to the same grandeur of character. I want to tell the Christian people of ray congregation that .God will hold, you responsible for. your invalidism if it j is vour fault, and when, through right exercise nud prudence, you might be athletic and well. The effect of the body upon the soul you acknowledge. Put a man of mild disposition upon the ani_i j.’ k s .1. ia:__

and iu a little while his blood will chancre its chemical proportions. 1 It will become like unto the blood of the, lion, or the t iff a r,or the bear, while his disposition , will change and become fierce and unrelenting. The body has a powerful effect upon the soul. , There are good people whose ideas of Heaven are all shut out with clouds of tobacco smoke. There are people who dare to shatter ther physical vase in which God has put itis jiihvel of eternity. There are men with great hearts and intellects, in bodies worn out by their own neglects—magnificent machinery, capable of propelling a Majestic across the Atlantic, yet fastened in a rickety North river propeller. Martin Luther was so mighty for God. first,; because he had a noble sobl, and seoondly, liecati.se he had a muscular development which would have enabled him to thrash any five of his persecutors, if it had been Christian so to do. Physical development which merely shows itself in fabulous lifting, or in perilous rope-walking, or In pugilistic encounter, excites only our j contempt : but we confess to great ] admiration for the man who has a] great s-iHi! in an athletic body, every nerve, muscle and bone of | which is concentrated to right uses. Oh, its seems tome outrageous that men, through neglect.' should allow their physical health to go down be-| jond repair - a ship which ought, with j all sail set and every man at his p.>-t to Im> carrying a rich cargo for eternity, i employing all its men iu stopping |ip leakages! When you may, through ; the gymnasium, work off your spleen and your querulousness and one-half of vour physical and mental ailments, do not turn your back upon such a grand medicament. Still further: I commend to you a large class of parlor games and recreations. There is a way of making our homes a hundred-fold more attractive than they "are now. Those parents can not ex peet to keep their children away from riot side? dissipations unless | they make the domestic circle brighter I than anything they *.%in find outside ! of it, Do not, then, sit in your home j surly and unsympathetic, and with | a half-condemnatory look because | of the sportfulriess of your chili dren. Yoq were young once yourself; let your children be yonng. lle- ; cause your eyes are dim and your j ankles arc stiff, do not denounce sportfulness in'those upon whose eyes there is the first luster, and in whose foot there is the bounding joy of robust health. I thank God that in our draw- > ing-rooms and in our parlors tflerc are innumerable games and sports which ■ j have not upon them the least taint of i ■ iniquity. I ] Light , up all your homes with innoII cent hilirities. Do not sit down with [ the rheumatism, wondering how ehil- » dren can.go on so. Rather thank God »| that their hearts are so light, and their ; laughter is so free, and their ehecks - are so ruddy, and that their expectations are so radiant. The night will j . come soon enough, and the beartI break, ar, 1 the pang, and the desola- , lion—it will come soon enough II for the dear children. But when » the storm actually clonds the i sky, it will be time enough for you to 1 haul out your reef tackles. Carry, - then, into your homes not only the ini ■ nocent sports and games which are the ;! inventions of onr own day, bat the

games which came down with the sportfulness of all ages—chess and charades and tableaux and battledore and calisthenics and lawn tennis and all those amusements which the young people of our homes know how well to contrive. Them there will be the parlor socials—groups of people assembled in your homes, with wit, and mimicry and joviality, filling the room with joy from door to mantel, and from the carpet to the ceiling. Oh, is there any exhilaration like a score of genial souls in one room, and each one adding a contribution of his own individual merriment to the aggregation of general hilarity. Suppose you want to go abro ad in the city, then you will find the panorama and the art gallery and the exquisite collections of pictures. You will find the museum and the Historical society rooms full of rare curiosities, and the scores of places which can stand plainly .the test of what is right and wrong in amusements. You will find the lecturing hall, which has been honored by jthe names of Agassiz in natural history, Doremus in chemistry, Boynton in geology. Mitchell in astronomy, John,, B. Gough in moral reform, and scores and hundreds of men who have poured their wit and genius and ingenuity through that particular channel upon the hearts and consciences and the imaginations of men, setting ° this country 50 years farther in advance . than it would have been without the lecture platform. 1 rejoice in the popularization of outdoor sports. I liarl the croquet ground aud the .fisherman's rod and the sportsman's gun. In our cities life is so unhealthy and unnatural that when the census-taker represents a city having 400,000 inhabitants, there are only 200,000. since it takes at least two men to amount to one man, so depleting and 4 unnerving and exhausting is this metropolitan life. We want more fresh air. more sunlight, more of the abandon of j field -sports. I cry out for it iu behalf of the Church of God as well as in behalf of secular interests. 1 wish that our ponds aud our rivers and our Capitoline grounds might be all aqfu&ke with the' heel and the shout of the swift skater. I wish that when the warm weather comes the graceful oar might dip the.stream, and the evening- ; tide be. resonant with boatmen's song, the bright prow splitting the crystalItillnxr

. We shall hare the smooth and grassy lawn, and we will call out people of all occupations and professions and ask them to join in the ball-plpyer's sport. Yon will come back from these outdoor exercises and recreations with strength in your arm and color in your cheek and a flash in your eye and courage in your heart. In this great battle ! that is opening against the kingdom of d arkness, we want not only a consecrated soul, but a strong arm and stout lungs and mighty muscle. I bless God that there are so many* recreations that have not on them an}’ taint of iniquity; recreations in which we may ; engage ■ for the strengthening of the] body, for the clearing of #ie intellect, for the illumination of the soul. There is still another form of recreation which I eoinmend toyou. andjthat is the pleasure of doing good. I have seen voting, men, weak and cross and sour and repelling in their disposition who by one heavenly touch have j ’wakened up and became blessed and buoyant, the ground under their feet and the sky over their heads breaking 1 forth into music. “Oh." says some young man in the house to-day, “I shoubj like that reerealtion above all others. ' but I have not the means." My dear brother, let us take an account of stock. Yoirhaye a large estate, if you only realty it. Two hands. Two feet. You will have, perhaps, during tbe next year at least $10 for charitable contribution. You will have 2.50 ) cheerful looks, if you want to employ them. Y«>u will have 5,000 pleasant words if you want to speak them. Now, what an amount that is to start with. Hut, before closing, I want to impress upon you that mere secular entertainments are not a fit foundation for your soul to build on. I was reading of a woman who had gone all the rounds of sinful amusement, and she came to die. She said: “I; will die tonight at six o'clock/’ “Ohr they ■ said, "I guess not; you don't seem to be sick.” “I shall die at six o'clock and mv soul will be lost. I know it will be lost. I have sinned away ray day of grace.” The noon came. They tiesire her to seek reLigious council. “Oh,” she said, “it Is no use. My day isdojne, I have been all the round*/ of worldly pleasure, and it iis too late. I shall die to-night at six o'eloek. The day wore away, and it came to four o'clock, and to tjj-e o'clock, and she cried out at five oclock. “Destroying spirits, ye shall not hare me yet; it is not 1 rt; It is not 6!” The moments went by, and the shadows began to gather, and I the clock struck six; and while it was striking her soul went. What hour God will call for us I do not know— whether six o'cloeketo-night or three I o’eloek this afternoon, or at one o’clock, i or at this moment. Sitting where you [ are, falling forward, or dropping down, | where will yotf go to? The last hour of your life will soon | be here, and from that hoar we will review this day's proceedings, It will I be a solemn hour. If from our deathi pillow we have to look back and see a life spent in sinful aiuaie1 ment, there will be a dart that will 1 strike through our soul, sharper than , the dagger with which Virginias slew his child. The memory of the past : will make us quake like Macbeth. The iniquities and rioting through which we have passed’ will come upon us, weird and skeleton as Meg Mer- • rillies. Death, tbe old Sbylock, will demand and take the remaining pound of flesh and the remaining drop of blood; and upon onr last opportunity for repentance, and our last chance ! for Heaven the curtain will forever i drop.

POLITICAL POINTERS. Ou»tle Iteto of Affairs to the Bepabl nui The republican leaders have assumed, even since the result of the elect ion of 1894 was declared, that their party’s success in the presidential election was assured. They hare counted on retaining tiie enormous vote which was then cast for their candidates for con-, gress, and which elected a republican majority of 112 in a total of 356 in the national house of representatives. It is strange that such fatuity should possess the minds of men who have {Missed their lives in the active practice of American politics, and the phenomenon cannot be accounted llor on any other theory than that politicians in this country are not intelligent observers of current events, and do not remember those facts Of recent history that are most important to the m. If the republican party were governed by that high degree of acumen that characterizes the American in his daily business, the leaders would recall the significant fact that in 1S92 it w as th£ democratic party that obtained a vast majority of the votes of the people of the United States, and that a change j in 1896 from republican to democratic ascendancy would not be more startling than was the change of 1894. Moi-eover, they would remember also that the people punished the democrats in IS94 quite as much for what they did not do as for what they did, and that the failure of the democratic majority in congress to enact sound tariff and sound currency legislation was it3 most grievous sin in the eyes of honest people who are insisting with growing determination and passion on voting for the welfare of the country and against the mere interests of party politicians. Surely, jf ever a victorious party shoul d have understood that its retention of power depends on its accomplishment j of some good to the country, it was the rt publican party after its great victory of 1894. Notwithstanding the fact that the way to success lay clearly through a vigorous sound-money ’policy in legislation, and by an overturning of the i

the country. The weakness and vice of the republican situation are intensified by these two cunning masters of trade who are, between them, carrying around 136 votes to sell in the convention for promises of patronage, perhaps for cabinet places. A boss-ruled party with silent candidates, who arc afraid to state their positions on the vital questions of the day, who hope to see their own party win by the momentum obtained two years ago, or who are willing, at least to divert public attention from these questions by barbarous jingo outcries—this is the situation in the republican party to-day.—Harper’i Weekly.

“bosses,” the republican party has done absolutely nothing' for the relief of the financial interests of the country or aguinst the rule of the “bosses.” , There is not a candidate for the republican nomination who dare offend the free .coinage men by declaring himselfj in favor of the single gold standard. There is not one who dare denounce the rule of Platt in New York, or of Quay iu Pennsylvania. There is not one who will admit, in public, that McKinley Ism is dead. The other day in the senate, when Mr. Carter, of Montana, chjairxnan of the republican national committee,, declared that he and his friends, and not .the.eastern senators, were the real republicans, because he and his were silver men. Senator Hoar could not assure him too quiekly, w ith a qualification, that he, the representative of enlightened Massachusetts, was as enamored of silver as were the senators from the new northwestern states. It is true that the silver men have shown a disposition to cut loose from the republican party because, its most prominent "sound money” men continue to try to deceive them with platitudes about “international bimetallism,” but if Carter, Dubois, Teller, Wolcott and their followers really go, it will not be because they are driven forth by the party’s assertions of honest-monev sentiments. They will go in spite of the party’s pleadings to them to remain.' | The great republican majority in the house of representatives has refused to come to the relief of the treasury. Speaker Peed used to boast of the fact that he made the Fifty-first congress a business congress. lie is making this congress idle and cowardly., He dare not speak his mind on any'question before the country; but be is responsible, notwithstanding his silence, for the failure of the house to pass a.gold bond bill. He is courting the silver men. McKinley is speechless, but we know, that he represents a tariff policy that the country has repudiated, and that he championed the Sherman act because it would enable the silver mine owners of the country to sell their Whole product to the government at more' than its market price. Allison, too, is speechless; but we know him to be the author of the sih*er^purcbasing scheme, which, under the name of Bland, who did not deserve that particular dishonor, filled the treasury vaults with silver dollars. Both he and McKinley are now presented as candida tes by the republicans of their respective states with the assurance that they are bimetallists. If Gov. Morton were a serious candidate it might- be frankly^ admitted that he would He for sound money if he were elected president. Bu t he is not a serious candidate.

Probablt there is nothin;? that internets land owners more at this tint* of year fencing. They want to seetuht the very best article they can for the purree they desire to use It. and at the cheapest price going. While this is good business, price should not take the place of quality. In building ■ smooth wire fence you do not build it for temporary use but expect it to last for years, and to get this kind of an article it requires a certain amount of good material to make it. The De. Kalb Fence Go., of De Kalb, Illinois, has the largest and most complete line of smooth wire fenciug of auy plant in the country. They desire particular!® to call your attention to their goods. Write them for a catalogue, which they will mail you free. No line of goods has grown so rapidly in demand or given such general satisfaction as the fencing manufactured bv thia company. Their steel web picket fence for lawn and yard purposes; their cabled field and hog fence for farm use; their cabled poultry, garden and rabbit fence are all they claim for them. You will hardly do yourself justice if you do not thoroughly in* vestigate their lines before placing your order.
