What Righteonsness in the Household Dogs For the Fancily—Is it a Profitable Thing?—The Great Preacher .Draws a Sermon From ,Joshua's Saying. CHICAGO, March 19, 1893.—Rev. Dr. Talmage, who is now in thiscity on a brief visit, did not preach to -day, He prepared for the press, however, the fol- lowing discourse on "Religion at Home," the text selected being Joshua, 24:15: "As for ins and my house we will serve the Lord." Absurd, ,Joshua 1 You will have no time for family religion ; you are a military character, and your time will be taken up with affairs connected with the army ; you are a statesman, and your time will be taken up with public affairs ; you are tho Washington, the Wellington, the Mc- Mahon of the Israelitish host, you will have a great many questions to settle, you will have no time for religion. But Josh- ua, with the same voice with which he commanded the sun and moon to halt and stack arms of light on the parade ground of the heavens, says, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Before we adopt the resolution of this old soldier, we want to be certain it is a wise resolution. If religion is going to put my piano out of tune, and clog the feet of my children racing through the hall, and sour the bread, and put crape on the door bell, I do not want it in my house. I once gave six dollars to hear Jenny Lind warble. I have never given a cent to hear anyone groan. Will this religion spoken of in my text do anything for the dining -hall, for the nursery, for the parlor, for the sleeping apartment ? It is a great deal easier to invite a dis- agreeable guest than to get rid of him. If you do not want religion you had better not ask it to come, for after coming it may stay a great while. Isaac Watts went to visit Sir Thomas and Lady Abney at their place in Theobald, and was to stay a week, and stayed thirty-five years; and if religion once gets into your household the probabil- ity is it will stay there forever. Now the question I want to discuss is : What will religion do for the household? Question the first. What did it do for your father's house, if you were brought up in a Christain Koine ? The whole scene has vanished, but it comes back to -day. The hour for morning prayers came. You were invited in. Some- what fidgety, you sat and listened. Your father made no pretensions to rhetorical reading, and he just went through the chapter in a plain, straightforward way. Then you all knelt. It was about the same prayer morning by morning and night by night, for be had the same sins to ask pardon for, and he had the same bless- ings for whieh to be grateful day after day and year after year. The prayer was longer than you would like to have had it, for the game at ball was waiting, or the skates were lying under the shed, or the school- books needed one or two more looking at the lessons. Your parents, somewhat rheu- matic and stiffened with age, found it diffi- cult to rise from their kneeling. The chair at which they knelt is gone, the Bible out of which they read has perhaps fallen to pieces, the parents are gone, the children scattered no rth, east,south and west; but that whole scene flashes upon your memory to- day. Was that morning and evening exer- cise in your father's house debasing or ele- vating? Is it not among the most sacred reminiscences? Yon were not as devotional as some of the older members of your father's house who were kneeling with you at the time, and you did not bow your head as closely as they did, and you looked around and you saw just the posture your father and mother assumed while they were kneeling .on the floor. The whole scene is so photographed on your memory that if you were an artist you could draw it now just as they knelt. For how much would you have that scene obliterated from your memory? It all comes back to -day, and you are in the homestead again. Father is there, mother is there, ull of your children are there. It is the same old prayer, opening with the same petition, closing with the same thanksgiving. The family prayers of 1840, 1850, as fresh in your memory as though' they were uttered y+sterday. The tear that starts from your ewe melts all that scene. Gone, is it? Why, many a time it has held you steady in the struggle of life. You once started for a place, and that memory jerked you back, and yon could not enter. The broken prayer of your father has had more effect upon you than all you ever read in Shakespeare, and Milton, and Ten- nyson, and Dante. You have gone over mountains and across. seas. You never for a moment got out of sight of that domestic altar. 0, my! friends ! is it your opinion this morning that the ten or fifteen minutes substracted from each day for family devotion was an economy or a waste of time iii your father's household ? I think some of us are "coming to the con- clusion that the religion which was in our father's house would be a very appro- priate religion for our homes. It family prayers did not damage that household there is no probability that they will damage our household. "Is Cod dead?" said a child to her father. "No," he replied; "why do you ask that?" "Well," she said, "when mother was living we used to have pray - ere, but since her death we haven't had family prayers, and I didn't know but that God was dead, too." A family that is launched in the morning with family prayers is well launched. Breakfast over, .the family scatter, some to school, souse to household duties, some to business. During the day there will be a thousand perils abroad—perils of the street car, of the scaffolding, of the ungoverned horse, of the misstep, of the aroused temper, of multitudinous temptations to do wrong. Somewhere between seven o'clock in the morning and ten o'clock at night there may be a moment when you will be in urgent need of God. Beside that, fancily prayers will be a secular advantage, A father went into the war to serve his conn try. His children stayed and cultivated the farm. His wife prayed. One of the sons said afterward, "Father is fighting, and we are digging, and mother is praying." "Ah !" said some one, "praying and dig- ging and fighting will bring us out of our national troubles." We may pray in the morning, "Give us this day our daily bread," and sit down in idleness and starve to death ; but prayer and hard work will give a hvelihood to any family. Family religion days for both worlds. Let us have an altar in each one of our households. You may not be able to formulate a prayer. Then there are Philip Henry's prayers, and there are McDuff's prayers, and there ore Phillip Doddridge's prayers, and there are the Episcopal Church prayers, and there are scores of books with supplications just suited to the domestic circle. "Oh !" says some man, "I don't feel competent to lead my household in pray- er." Well, I do not know that it is your duty to lead. I think perhaps it is some- times better for the mother' of the house- hold to lead. She knows better- the wants of the household. She can read the Scrip- tures with a more tend -r enunciation. She knows more of God. I will put it plainly, and say she prays better. Oh 1 these mor others decide almost everything. A young man received a furkough to return from the army to his father's house. Afterward he took the furlough back to the officer, saying. "I would like to nos(..

At the end of the two weeks ho camp and got the furlough. He, was asked why he waited. "Well," he replied, "when I left home I told my mother I would be a Christian in the army, and I was resolved not to go home until I could answer her first ques- tion." Oh, the almost, omnipotent power of the mother ! But if both the father and the mother be right, then the children are almost sure to be right. The young people may make a wide curve from the straight path, but they are almost sure to come back to the right road. It may not be until the death of one of the parents. How often it' is that we hear some one say, "Oh ! he was a wild young man, but since his father's ':death he has been different !" The fact is, that the father's coffin, or the !nether's coffin, is often; the altar of repentance for the child. Oh ! that was a stupendous day, the day of father's burial. it was not the officiating clergyman who made the chief impression, nor the sympathizing mourners : it was the father asleep in the casket. The hands that had toiled for that household so long, folded. The brain cooled off after twenty or forty years of anxiety about how to put that family in right position. The lips closed after so many years of good advice. There are more tears falling in mother's grave than in father's grave ; but over the father's tomb I think there is a, kind of awe. It is at that marble pillar many a young roan has been revolutionized. 0, young man, with cheek flushed with dissipation ! how long is it since you have been out to your father's grave? Will you not go this week ? Perhaps the storms of the last few days may have bent the headstone until it leans far over. Yon had better go out and see whether the lettering has been defaced. You' had better go out and see whether the gate of the lot is closed. Yon'had better go and see if you cannot find a sermon in the springing grass. 0, young man! go out this week and see your father's grave. Religion did so much. for our Christian ancestry, are we not ready this morning to bo willing to re- ceive it, into our own household? If we do receive it, let it come through the front door, not through the back door. In other words, do not let us smuggle it in. There are a great any families who want to be religious, but they do not want anybody outside to know it. They would be morti- fied to death if you caught them at family prayers. They would not sing in the wor- ship for fear their neighbors would hear them. They do not have prayers when they have company ! They do not know much about the nobil- ity of the western trapper. A traveler going along was overtaken by night and a storm, and he entered a cabin. There were firearms hung up around the cabin. He was alarmed. He had a large amount of money with him, but he did not dare to venture out into the night iv the storm. He did not like the looks of the household. After a while the father, the Western trap- per, came in, gun on his shoulder, and when the traveler looked him he was still more affrighted. After a while the family were whispering together in one corner of the room, and the traveler thought to him- self, "Oh! now my time has come; I wish I was out in the storm and in the night rather than here." But the swarthy man came up to him and said: "Sir, we are a rough people; we get our living by hunting, and we are very tired when the night comes ; but before going to bed we always have s habit of reading a little out of the Bible and having prayers, and I think we will have our usual custom to -night; and if you don't be. Neve in that kind of thing, if you will just step outside the door for a little while 1 will be much obliged to you." Oh ! there are man y Christian parents who have not half the courage of the Western trapper. They do not want their religion projecting too conspiculously. They would like to have it near by so as to having it dominant in the household from the first of January, seven o'clock a. m., to the thirty-first of December, ten o'clock p. m., they do not want it. They would rather die, and have their families perieh with them than to cry out in the bold words of the soldier"in my text : "As for me and my household we will serve the Lord." There was, in my ancestral line, an in- ,oident so strangely impressive that it seems more like romance than reality. It has sometimes been so inaccurately put forth that I now give you the true incident. My grandfather and grand- mother, living at Somervile, New Jersey, went to Baskingridge to witness a revival under the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Finlay. ' They came home so impressed with what they had seen that they resolved on the salvation of their children. Theoung people of the house were to go off Foran evening party, but my grand- mother said: "Now, when you are ready for the party, come to my room, for I have something very important to tell you." All ready for departure, they came to her room, and she said to them: "Now, I want you to re- member while you are away this evening that I am all the time in this room praying for your salvation, and I shall not cease praying until you get back." The young people went to the party, but amid the loudest hilarities of the night they could not forgetethat their mother was praying for them. The evening passed and the night pawed. The next day my grandparents heard an outcry in an adjoining room, and they went in and found their daughter implor- ing the salvation of the Gospel. The daughter told them that her brothers were at the barn and at the wagon house under powerful conviction of sin. They went to the barn. They found my uncle Jehiah, who afterwards became a minister of the Gospel, crying to God for mercy. They went to the wagon house. They found their son David, who afterwards became my father, imploring God's pardon and mercy. Before a greet while the whole family were saved, and David went and told the story to a young woman to whom he was affianced, who, as a result of the story, became a Christian, and from her own lips—my mother's—I have received the incident. 1 The story of that converted household ran through all the neighborhood, from family to family, until the whole region was whelmed with religious awakening, and at the next communion in the village church at Somerville, over two hundred souls stood up to profess the faith of the Gospel. My mother, carrying the memory of this scene from early womanhood into farther life, in after years was resolved upon the salvation of her children, and for many years every week she met three other Christian mothers to pray for the salvation of their families. I think that all the mem- bers of those families were saved—myself, the youngest and the last. There were twelve of us children. I trace the whole line of mem back to that hour when my Christi•rn gr n !r 1„rr ie her room imploring the f upon her children. Nine of her because preacher.. of the (;,+-.r,c:.

In the presence of tits-. (;,trishaw Church to -dao, I make this record of anct.s- tral piety. Oh! there is a beauty, dud n tenderness, and a sublimity in family t t!- ligion. There are two arms to this subject. The one arm puts its hand on all parents. It says to them : "Don't interfere with your children's welfare, don't interfere with their eternal happiness, don't you by any- thing you do, put out your foot and trip them into ruin. Start them under the shelter, the insurance. the everlasting help MARcx 31, 1893 of unrtst►an parentage. Catechisms will not save them, though catechisms are good, The rod will not save them, t houg:i the rod may be necessary. Les- sons of virtue will not save them, though they are very important. Becoming a through and through, up and down, out and out Christian yourself will make them Christians." The other arm of this subject puts its hand upon those who had a pious bringing up, but who hava as yet disappointed the expectations excited in regard to. them. 1 said that children brought up in Christian households, though they might make a wide curve, were very apt to come back to the straight path. Have you not been curving out long enough? and is it not most time for you to begin to curve in? "Oh," you say,' they were too rigid." Well now, my brother, I think you have a pretty good character considering what you say you parents were. Do notboaet too much about the style in which` your parents brought you up. Might it not be possible that you would be an exception to the general rule laid down, and that you might spend your eternity in a different world from that in whieh your parents -are spending theirs? I feel anxious about you; you feel anxious about yourself. Oh! cross over into the right path. If your parents prayed for yon twice a day, each of them twice a day for twenty years, that would make 29,000 prayers for you. Think'of them! By the memory of the cradle in whieh your childhood was rocked with the foot that long ago ceased to move, by the -crib in which your own children slumber night by night under God's protecting care, b the two graves in which sleep those two old hearts that beat with love so long for your welfare, and by the , two graves in which you, now the livin' father and mother, will find your last -i repose, I urge you to the discharge of your duty. To Paris by Rail. Mr. John D. Hutchinson, one of the en ginsers who have been making a survey for an Alaskan railway which is to bridge Ber- ing Strait and connect with a Siberian road, thus making possible an overland voyage from this country to Europe, has reached San Francisco. He states that the survey—the money far which was raised at a dinner given by New York capitalists -to Henry Clews in 1890 -has been completed from Vancouver, B.C., to Cape Prince of Wales, the point of Alaska Nearest to Asia, on Bering Strait, a distance of 2346 miles. Atthat point the work was suspended for the winter. The project of an all -rail trip from this country to Paris is so dazzling that there Will be a natural inclination to pronounce the scheme chimerical. It is undoubtedly true that engineers, though ordinarily a hard-headed class of men, may be misled by their enthusiasms, as was Ferdinand de Lesseps in the Panama Canal project. Yet in these days of gigantic planning and achievement it would rather be the part of rashness to condemn a scheme 'witthout a full hearing of its merits, or to adjudge it impracticablebeoause of its vast - nese. As far as the engineers have traversed the proposed route they have found it available. Topographically no difficulties were encountered, the grades being easy, and permitting an air line tor much of the distance. Geologically the condition seem to have been equally favorable. The engi- neer rays : There is no quicksand anywhere, and the bottom of the strait furnishes a sound and solid foundation for piers. Nor is there any danger -from icebergs, for all the larger ones are stranded forty miles up. In one place a stonebreakwater would have to be built to protect the piers from the smaller bergs. There is one probable source of diffi- culty not touched upon in the San Fran: Disco interview, and which would per- tain not so much to the construction as to the operation of the line ; and that is the question of climatology. The railway system of the Northwest- ern States of the Union is at the present time in a disorganized condition by reason of the winter's stress ; and what elemental obstruction might not be expected to rail- roading in the farther Northwest ? Be- sides, this problem would involve not only the question of clear tracks, but the diffi- culty of maintaining the cars at a habit- able temperature. It is fair to assume, however, that this view of the project has not escaped the attention of the practical men who are said to be interested in it. As Mr. Hutchinson says Henry Clews & Co., Drexel, Morgan & Co., and Isaac C. Seibert, a Jewish banker of fin Petersburg and Prague, are interest- ed in extending the road from East, Cape, on the Siberian shore of Bering Sea, to Ssndeluske, on the Great Siberian road, a distance of 2275 miles. There would thus be formed an all -rail route from Vancouver to Sandeluake of 4621 miles, which would enable Americans to travel by rail all the way to`St. Petersburg and connect there with all the rest of Europe and Asia. If men of this stamp can discern merit in such a venture, all question of its feasibility is likely to vanish from the popular mind. j NEB • SPRING • GOlUS Coming to hand daily.

"First water over them with a whisk broom," says an- other. I notice that I have made use of the term "shower." I presume that the other writers quoted from had the same ef- fect in mind that I have, but the term "sprinkle" is a misleading -one, and a whisk broom i is not the proper instrument to use is distributingwater over and among planta You must have something more than 4 mere sprinkling to do muchood, and with a brush broom a mere sprinkling is about all you ever get. You should aim to throw water up among the branches, so that the lower side of every leaf is wet ; unles's this is done you but half accomplish what you aim at, and anything that does not throw a stream of water foreibly'in any direction where you want it to go. Every person growing plants in the window ought to be the owner of te brass syringe made expressly for florists' use. With one of these implements it is the easiest thing in the world to get water just where it is needed, and the red spider is sure to be rouetd by the persistent use of it. WM. I'ICKARD.
