TALKS ON BIGOTBY, l ev. Dr. Talmage Discusses a Delicate Subject. Oeplorea Sectarian Difference la tl&e tlonie—Cautions Parents as to ■ts Civil Effect on the Children. [Copyright, 1SS3, by Louis Klopscb.} Washington. June 11. In this sermon Dr. Talmage discusses M topic which will interest domestic circles everywhere. The text is Genesis xiii., S: “Let there be no strife, 1 pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmenand thy herdmen. Is not the whole land before thee?” Uncle and nephew, Abram and Lot, both pious, both millionaires, and with «uch large flocks of bleating sheep and lowing cattle that their herdmen got into a fight, perhaps about the best pasture, or about the best wafer privilege, or because the cow of one got hooked by the horns of the other. Not their poverty of opportunity, but their wealth, was the cause of controversy between these two men. To Abram, the glorious old Mesopotamian sheik, such ■controversy seemed absurd. It was like two ships quarreling for sea room in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

There~was a vast reach of country, cornfields, vineydrds, harvests and plenty of room in illimitable acreage. “Now,” said Abram, “let u& agree to differ. Here are the mountain districts, swept by the tonic of sea breeze and with wide-reaching prospect, and there is the plain of Jordan, with tropical luxuriance. You may have either.” Lot, who was not as rich as Ahram and might have been expected to take the second choice, made the first selection, and with a modesty that must have made Abram smile, said to him: “You may have the rocks and the fine prospect; I will take the valley $ of the Jordan, with all its luxuriance of cornfields, and the river to water the flocks, and the genial climate, and the wealth immeasurable.” So the controversy was forever settled, and greatsouled Abram carried out the suggestion of the text: “Let there strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen. Is not the whole land be-' fore thee?” Well* in this, the last decade of the ' nineteenth century, and in this beauti- ■ America, ut should after its i a wealth port unity -churches 11 kinds of f worship, re. What >ort unity! ons there le opulent ; is such a to be no tion. No reen liturnts, or as mdful of vfcrful. If Abram prefers to dwell on the heights, where he can only get a sprinkling from the .clouds, let him consent that Lot have all the Jordan in which to immerse himself. “Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen.and thy herdmen. Is not the whole land before thee?” * Especially is it fortunate ' when families allow angry discussion at the breakfast or dinner or tea table as to which is the best church or denomination, one at one end of the table saying he could never endure the rigid doctrines of Presbyterianism, one at the ■other end responding that she never could stand the forms of Episcopacy, and one at one side of the table saying he did not understand how anybody could bear the noise in the Methodist church, and another declaring all the Baptists bigots. There are hundreds of families hopelessly split on ecclesir asticism, and in the middle of every discussion on such subjects there is a kindling of indignation, and it needs some old Father Abram to come and put his foot on the loaded-fuse before the explosion takes place and say: “Let v there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen. Is not the whole land before thee?”

\ I undertake a subject never undertaken by any other pulpit, for it is ah •exceedingly delicate subject, and if not rightly handled might give serious offense, but <1 approach it without the slightest trepidation, for I am sure I have the Divine direction in the matters I propose to present. It is a tremendous question, asked all over •Christendom, often asked with tears and' sobs and heartbreaks and involving the peace of families, the eternal happiness of many souls. In matters of church attendance should the wife go with the husband, or the husband go with the wife? First, remember that all the evengelical churches have enough truth in them to save the soul and prepare us for happiness on earth and in Beaven. I will go with you into any well-selected theological library, and I will show you sermons from ministers in all denominations that Set forth man as a sinner and Christ as a deliverer from sin and sorrow. That is the whole Gospel. Get that into your soul, and you are fitted for the here and the hereafter. There are differences, we admit, and some denominations we like better than others. But suppose three or four of us make solemn agreement to meet each on important business, and one goes by the New York 'Central railroad, another by the Erie railroad, another by the Pennsylvania railroad, another by the Baltimore & Qhio railroad. One goes this way because the mountains are grander, another fakes this because this cars

are more luxurious, another that because the speed is greater, another takes the other because be has long been accustomed to that route and all the employes are familiar. So far as our engagement to meet is concerned, it makes no difference if we only get there. Now, any one of the innumerable evangelical denominations, if you practice its teaching, although some of their trains run on a broad gauge and some oh a narrow gauge, will bringyou out at the city of New Jerusalem. It being evident'that you will be safe in any of the evangelical denominations, I proceed to remark, first, if one of the married couple be a Christian and tlfe other not, the one a Christian is bound to go anywhere to a church where the unconverted companion is willing to go, if he or she will go to no other. You of the connubial partnership are a Christian. You are safe for the skies. Then It is your first duty to secure the eternal safety of your lifetime associate. Is not the everlasting welfare of your wife impenitent or your husband ijnpeniten t of more importance than your church relationship? >Is not the condition of your companion for the next quadrillion of years a mightier consideration to you than the gratification of your ecclesiastical taste for 40 or SO years? A man or a woman who would stop half a minute to weigh preferences„as to whether he or she had better go with the unconverted companion to this or that church or denomination has not. religion at all, and never has had, and I fear never will have. You are loaded up with what

you suppose to be religion, but you art: like Capt, Frobisher, who brought back from his, voyage of discovery a ship load of what he supposed valuable minerals, yet, instead of being silver and gold, were nothing but common stones of the field, to he hurled out as finally useless.' Mighty God, in all Thy realm is there one man or wornaji professing religion, yet so stolid, so 'unfitted, so far gone unto death that there would be any hesitancy in surrendering all preferences before such an opportunity of salvation and heavenly reunion? If you, a Christian wife, are an attendant upon any church and your unconverted husband does not go there because he does not like its preacher, or its music, or its architecture, or its uncomfortable crowding; and goes not to any house of worship* but would go if you would afceompany him somewhere else, change your church relations. Take your hymn book home with ycuf to-day. Say good-by to your friends in the neighboring pews and go with him to any one of a hundred churches till his soul is saved and he joins you in the march to Heaven. More important than that ring on the third finger of your left hand it is that your Heavenly Father command the lungel of mercy concerning your husband at his conversion, as in the parable of old: “Put a ring on his hand.” No letter of more importance ever came to the great city of Corinth, sit uated on what was called the “Bridge of the Sea,” and glistening with sculpture, and gated with a style of brass the magnificence of which the following ages have not been able to successfully imitate, and overshadowed by the AcroCorinthus, a fortress of rock 2,000 feet high—I say no letter ever came to that great city of more importance than that letter in which Paul puts the two startling questions: “What knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thon, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?” The dearest sacrifice on the part of the one is cheap if it rescue the other. Better go to the smallest, weakest, most insignificant church on earth and be copartners in eternal bliss than pass your earthly membership in most gorgeously attractive church while your companion stays outside of evangelical privilege. Better have the drowning saved by a scow or a sloop than let him or her go dqwn while you sail by in the gilded cabins of a Majestic or Campania. Second remark: If both of the married couple be Christians, but one is so naturally constructed that it is impossible to enjoy the services of a particular denomination and the other is not so sectarian or punctilious, let the one less particular go with the other, \vho is very particular. As for myself, I feel as much at home in one denomination of evangelical Christians as another, and I think I must have been born very near the line. 1 like the solemn roll of

the Episcopal liturgy, and I like the spontaneity of the Methodists, and 1 like the importance given to the ordinance of baptism by the Baptists, and I like the freedom of the Congregationalists, and I like the government and the sublime doctrine of the Presbyterians, and 1 like many of the others just as much as any 1 have mentioned, and I could happily live and preach and die and be buried from any of them. But others are born with a liking so stout, so unbending, so inexorable for some denomination that it is a positive necessity they have the advantage of that one. What they were intended to be in ecelesiasticism was written in the sides of their cradle, if the father and mother had eyes keen enough to see it. They would not stop crying until they had put in their hands as a plaything a Westminster catechism of the Thirtynine Articles. The whole current of their temperament and thought and character runs into one sect of religionists as naturally a,s the James river into the Chesapeake. It would be a torture to such persons to be anywhere outside of that one church. Now, let the wife or husband who is not so constructed sacrifice the milder preference for the one more inflexible and rigorous. Let the grapevine follow the rugosities and sinuosities of the oak or hickory. Abram, the richer in flocks of Christian grace, should say to Lot, who is built on a smaller scale: “Let there be no strife, 1 pray thee, between 3 me and thee, and bet ween my herdmen and thy herdmen. is not the whole land

before thee? As you can be edified and happy anywhere, go, wit h your com panion to the cbwch to which he or she must go or be miserable. Remark the third: if both the married couple are very strong in their sectarianism, let them attend the different churches preferred. It is not necessary that you attend the same church. Religion is between your conscience and your Cod. Like Abram and Lot, agree to suffer. When on Sabbath morning you come out of your home together .and one goes one way and the other the other, heartily wish each otjhe; a good sermon and a time of profiir^ble devotion, and when you meet again at the noonday repast let it be evident, each to each and to your children and to the hired help, that you have both been on the Mount of Transfiguration, although you went up by different paths, and that you have both been fed by the bread of life, though kneaded by different hands in different trays and baked in different ovens. “But how about the children?” I am often asked by scores of parents. Let them also make their own choice. They will grow up with reverence for both the denominations represented by father and mother if you by holy lives commend those denominations. If the father lives the better life, they will have the more

favorable opinion of his denomination And some day both the parents will for at least one service, go to the same ohurch. The neighbors will say: “Iwcn* der what is going on to-day, for 1 saw our neighbor and his wife, who always go to different churches, going arm in arm to the same sanctuary?” Well, I will tell you what has brought them arm iff arm to the same altar. Something very important has happened. Their son is standing in the aisle, taking the vows of a Christian. He has been somewhat wayward and gave father and mother a good deal of anxiety, but their prayers have been answered in his conversion, and as he stands in the aisle and the minister of religion says: “Do you consecrate yourself to the God who made and redeemed you, and do you promise to serve Him all your days?” and with manly voice he answers: “1 do,” there is an April shower in th« pew where father and mother sit and a rainbow of joy which arches both theii souls that makes all the difference ol creed infinitesimal. And the daughter, who has been very worldly and gay and thoughtless, puts her life on the altar of consecration, and as the sunlight ol that Sabbath streams through the church window and falls npon her brow [ and cheek she looks like their othet daughter, whose face was illuminated with the brightness of another world On the day when the Lord took her intc His heavenly keeping y#ars ago. i I should not wonder if, after all. these parents pass the evening of their life in the same church, all differences of church preference overcome by the joy of being in the house of God where their children were prepared for usefulness and Heaven. But I can give you a recipe for ruining your children. Angrily contend in the household that your church is right and the chufch ol your companion is wrong. Bring sneer and caricature to emphasize your opinions, and, your children will make up their minds that religion is a sham and they will have none of it. In the northeast storm of domestic controversy the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley will not grow. Fighl about apostolic succession, fight aboul election and free agency, fight about baptism, fight about the bishopric, fight about gown and surplice, and the re* ligiaus prospect of your children will be left dead on the field. You will b«. as unfortunate as Charles, duke of Burgundy, who in battle lost a diamond the value of a kingdom, for in your fighl i you will lose the jewel of salvation for jour entire household. This is nothing against the advocacy of your owr religious theories. Use all forcible argument, bring all telling illustration array all demonstrative facts, but lei there be no acerbity, no stinging retort, no mean insinuation, no superciliousness, as though-all others wero wrrong and you infall|bly right. But do nor reject Christianity, as many do, because there are so many sects. Staining in Westminster hotel London, ^j5»oked out of the window and saw three clocks, as near as I car

remember — one on tne parliament house, another on St. Margaret's chapel another on Westminster abbey — anc they were all different. One said IS o'clock at noon, another said five minutes before 12, another said five min utes after 12. I might as well have con eluded that there is no such thing as time because the three timepieces were different as for you to conclude thal there is no such thing as opure Christianity because the churches differ ir their statement of 4t. But let us all rejoice that, although part of our family may worship on earth in one church and part, in another church or bowed at the same altar in a compromise of preferences, we are, if redeemed, on the wray to a perfect church, where all our prefer ences will be fully gratified. Great cathedral of eternity, with arches of amethysts and pillars of sapphire, with lloors of emerald and “windows aglow with the sunrise of Heaven! What stupendous towers, with chimes angel hoisted and angel rung! What myriads of worshipers, white robed and coroneted! What an officiator at the altar, even “the great High Priest of our profession!” What walls, hung with the captured shields and flags, by the church militant passed up to t£0church triumphant! What doxologies of all nations! Coronet to coronet, cymbal ’to cymbal, harp to harp, organ to organ! Pull out the tremulant stop to recall the sufferings past! Pull out the trumpet stop to recall the victory! When shall these eyes Thy Heaven built walls And pearly gates behold. Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong. And streets of shining gold? Pretty girls, as a rule, are not fit for much else.—Atchison Globe.

A BALLOON MYSTERY. The balloon scene in a play running in ii!» city prompted a man who witnessed it to tell' ; the following experience. There were oat | more than half a dozen of us in the room j with liim, and all were enjoying a quiet • club-room smoke before departing for our i respective homes. We had been talking of that particular play, and had turned to the ; balloon scene; when he related this story: I “I came vpry near being thrown out of a balloon once myself. Did you ever hear of i Wash Donaldson? He was the balloonist j for the Barnum & Bailey show more than 20 years ago. Donaldson was an athlete. He | was of perfect physique and had a face which ' made women crazy. He was a man of travel and a captivating talker. He was the hero i of more than a hundred trips to the ‘ skies. The ascension took place jest before the afternoon performance. He opened the season in the summer _of *73 on the lake front in Chicago. I was invited to go • up with him. There were three others. The . basket party consisted of four persons. Donaldson took his place on the bar between the basket and the neck of the balloon. The day ; was hot. Donaldson was in his thirl sleeves. I Part of the time he was bareheaded. The day : was perfect. As we took our flight and sailed out over the lake, reaching an altitude of ! nearly a mile, the intrepid pilot, looking down upon his passengers, chatted about his , travels and experiences while the airship above turned slowly and at times seemed to : stand still. “This, my first ascension, was accidental. The arrangement for my trip was for the sec* cond day. But two other persons, also inj vited to go up on the second day, appeared on the first day and asked to make the asscension then. This occasioned a parley. It was settled by the toss of a coin. By this I ; won. The two who lost then threw for the , ascension next day, for Donaldson had said that after the first ascension he would take only one perron.

“This first ascension was without incident, save for the novelty of it to those who had never before been up in the air. The ship landed about where the Auditorium hotel now stands. After we had left the basket I went with DonaMson to his hotel and dined with him. A woman at the table, one of the profession, was Donaldson’s affianced bride. She had become infatuated with Donaldson, and became a circus woman. They were ; to have been married at the close of that season. He had ^promised her to make no more ascensions after their marriage. - “I asked him what he would do if, in an ascension with only one person it became necessary in order to escape in safety to unload the basket. He said, in a matter of fact way, that the law of self-preservation was the same in midair as it was on the earth. “ ‘Would you throw a man out of the basket of your balloon?’ asked the woman, to whom the possibility of such & thing had occurred, apparently, for the first time. Donaldson replied that he would be justified in such an act, where his own life was involved, and he told me afterward that he had consulted a well-known criminal lawyer in New York on that very question, and that the information was in accordance with what he had said in reply to the woman. “The next day I went to the grounds to see Donaldson make his second ascension of that engagement. The sky was threatening. The lake was a sea of whitecaps. A storm came up out of the southwest. The two men who had tossed with me the day before were at the side of the basket. Th? younger, who had won the toss for the second day’s ascension, was a mere lad from an interior town of Hlinos. His name was Grim wood. The other was a Scotchman. He wanted the young man to toss over again, hut the young man replied by quoting the old adage about a bird in hand. Donaldson said to me, in an aside: “ ‘I hate to take that boy to-day, for this ballqon, which is not the one we had yesterday, is patched, and not as safe as the other, and, besides, it looks dark over head. How would you like to take his place?’ “I do not know what my answer might have been. There was no occasion to reply, for the young man, evidently afraid he might lose his place, had jumped into the basket before I could speak. Knowing DonaMson as I did, with faith in his courage and admiring his intrepidity, I think I should have gone with him in his second flight, l “Donaldson followed Grimwood and called to cut the roper The balloon went up in the midst of lightning and thunder. Not a cheer followed its stormy flight. The spectators | looked npward from under their umbrellas : in silent awe. The balloon crossed the lake I in a northwesterly direction and was soon ; lost from sight by intervening clouds. The afternoon was stormy and the fury of the gale increased during the night. No tidings were received of the voyagers on the following morning. That afternoon the first balloon was inflated on the circus grounds and an ascension was announced. None took place. Donaldson had not returned. Messages were sent out to towns in the northwest asking for any news of the balloon, the circus management offering to pay liberally for such information. No answers were received. The next day and the next day and every succeeding day while the circus remained the balloon in which we made the ; first ascension was inflated, but the ropes ' were never cut. There were no more aseen- | iions. ! “For weeks after the circus had gone con* ; flieting stories were received of a balloon seen in various places, sometimes in the air, with a dead man hanging head downward, tangled in the ropes, followed by birds: sometimes of the balloon in the waters of the lake; sometimes in the branches of a forest; sometimes in the camps of loggers inthe pineries of that region. But none proved true. People quit talking about it. until one day it was recalled by a story, well written, to the effect that Donaldson had been seen alive in London. The circus peo&nd Donaldson’s friends denied this. A later a similar story locating him in Africa was printed, and this was denied. To give these stories a shading of truth, for a number were printed later on, they contained the statement, which was true,«*hat the woman in this case had left the circuk

and had gone to meet her lover, one had left the circus. Finally the stories about Donaldson being alive, like the ones about J. ■Wilkes Booth being alive, ceased. A long time after, several months, I think, portions of a human body were found in the sands on the Wisconsin shore of Lake Michigan. There was nothing to identify the remains except a piece of jewelry which a jroung woman who knew Grimwood said she had given to him. This, with a few bits of material found nearby, thought by some to be parts of the balloon canvas, led to the belief in some quarters that Grimwood was thrown from the basket by Donaldson. Every man of the two ascensions, ex ept myself, is dead, and each one died in a peculiar way. The Scotchman who lost the oss on the second day went mad a few j ;ars ago and escaped from the asylum. His * ody was found some time after in a creek. "Donaldson's fate remains a mys ery. Did he throw Grimwood out of the has set? Would he have thrown me out, I wonder!" —N. Y. Sun.
