GEORGE A TEMPLETON, Doronington, Sanilao County, Miehi gam. 1298a4 -le Unto Thee. BROOKL'7N, April 15—In the great audience which assembled• the Brooklyn Tabernacle this forenoon were many strangers. Rev. Dr. Talmage • Ohose for the subject .of his sermon "Home Religion," taking his text from Luke 8; 39: 'Return to thine own house, and show how great things God bath done unto thee After a fierce and shipwreckiug night, Christ and His diticiples are climbing' up the slaty shelving of the beach. How pleasant it is to stand on solid ground • after having 'been tossed so long on the billows.- While the disciples are con- gratulating eacti other on their marine escape out front. a dark, deep„cavern on the Gadarene hills there is something swiftly and terribly advancing. It is an apparition? Is it a man? Is it a wild .beast? Is it a maniac who has brokeu 'away from his keepers, perhaps a few rags on his person, and fragments of stout shackles which he has wrenched off in terrific paroxysm. With wild yell, and bleeding wounds of his own lacera- tion he flies down the hill. Back to the boats, ye fishermen, an d put out to sea. and escape assassination, But Christ stands His ground; so do. the Disciples; and as this flying fury, with knashing teeth and uplifted fists, dashes et Christ, Christ says, "Hands off I DoWn at my feet, .thou poor sufferer," and the demoniac drops harmless, ex- hausted, worshipfuL "Away ye devils!" commanded Christ, ead the two thous - sand fiends which lied been tormenting • the poor man are transferred to the two thousand swine,which go to seta with their accurt ed cargo. •- The restored demoniac sits down at Christ's. feet and. events to stay there. Christ says to hint practically' , "Do noc etop ;you have a mission -to execute ; wash off the filth and the wounds in the sea t entomb your disheveled locks ; put on decent apparel and go straight to your desolated home, and tell your wife and -children that you will no more af- fright therreaud no more de them harm; that you are restored to reason, and that I, the Omnipotent Son ol God, ant en- titled hereafter to the -worship of your entire household. Return to thine awn liouse, and show how great things God bath dents unto thee." Yes, the house. the home is .the first plabe where our religious gratitude ought to be demonstrated. In the out- side world we may seem to have religion when we have it uot ; but the home tests whether our religion is genuine or a ehami What mikes a Jumpy home? Well, one would say a house with great wide halls, and antlered deer- headshnd parlors with sculptuee aud bric-a-brac, and dining hall with easy chair and plenty- of light and engravings of game on the wall,. and sleeping ap- partments commodious and adorned. No. In such a place as that gigantic w re toil edness has sometimes dwelt, While some of you look tack to your father's house, where they read their Bible by the light of a tallow candle. There were no carpets on the floor, _save those made from the rags which your mother cut night by night, you helping wind them into a bail, and then sent to the weaver, who brought them to shape under his l slow shuttle. Not a luxury in all the 'house. But you cannot think of it thigiriorning without tearful and grateful emotion. You and I have found out that it is not rich tapestry, or gor- geous architecture ' or rare art that makes a happy horhe. -The six wise men of Greece gave pre- scriptions fel. a happy home. Solon says a happy home. is a place where a nian's estate was gotten without injus- tice, kept without disquietude and spent without repentance. Chao says that a happy home is the place where a nian rules as a monarch a kingdom, Bias says that a...happy home is a place where a man does voluntarily what by law he is compelled to do abroad. But you and , under a grander light, give a better rescription : a happy home is a place here the kindnees of the Gospel of the Son of God has full swing. While I speak this morning there is nocking at your front door, if He be ot already admitted, One whose locks re wet with the elews of the night, who vould take your -Children into His arms, nd would threw upon your nursery, nd your sleeping apartments, and Your rawing-room, and your entire house a lessiug, that will make you rich while ou live, and beam. inheritance to your hildren after you have done the last ay's work for their support, and made r them the last prayer. It is the illus- ious One who said to the man of my xt, "Return to thine own house, and ow how great things God hath done Ito thee." Now, in the first place, we ant religion in our domestic duties. Every housekeeper needs great grace. Martha had had more religion she ould not have rushed with such a bad toper to scold Mary in the presence of irist. It is no small thing to keep -der, and secure cleanliness, and mend eakages, and achieve economy, and ontrol all the affairs of the household vantageouely. Expenses will run up, ore bills will come in twice as large you think they ought to be, furniture lll wear out, carpets will unravel, and e martyrs of the fire are eery few in mpanson with the martyrs of house- eping. Yet there are hundreds of ople in this ehuroh this morning who their homes are managing all these airs with a composure, an adroitness, ingenuity, and a faithfulness which ey never could have reached but 'for e grace of our practical Christainity, O exasperations which wear out awe have been to you spiritual de- loprnent and sanctification. Empioy- nts which seemed to relate only [.0 an ur have on them all the grandeurs of rhal history. You need the religion of Christ in the cipline . of your children. The rod ich in other homes may be the first ans used, in yours will be the last. ere will be no harsh epithets—"you ave, you villain, you scoundrel, ash the life out of you, you are the rst child I ever knew.," All that kind chastisement makes thieves, pick- kets, murderers and the , outlaws of ieten That parent who in anger kes his child across the head de - yes the penitentiary.

Then we need the religion of Christ to help us in setting a good example. Cow. per said of the oak: "Time was when settled on thy leaf a fly could eliake thee to the root. Time has been when tein• pest could not." In other words, your cll'ildren are -very impressible just now. • , envy are avert ; raei are- garniong pressions you have no idea of. lbws you not been surprised sometimes, months or years after some coriversa- Aon, which pu.supposed was too pro- Tound or intricate for them to under- stand—some question of, the child de- monstrated the fact that he knew all - about it? Your children are apt to think that what- you do is right. They have no -ideal of truth or righteousness but your. self. Things wkhh you do, knowing at the time to be wrong, 'they take to be • right. They .reason this way: "Father always does right. Father did this. Therefore this is rikht." That is good logic, but bad prerniees. No one ever gets over having had a bad example set him. Your conduct more than your.. teaching -makes impression. Your laugh, your frown, ' your dress, your walk, your greetings, your good-byes, your comings, your goings, your habits at the table, the tones of your voice, are making an impression which will last a million years after you are dead, and - the sun will be extinguished, and the mountains will crumble, and the world *ill die, and eternity will roll on in,per- petual cycles, but there will be no dimi- nution of the force of your conduct upon the young eyes that saw it, or the young ears that heard it. Now I wouldnot have.by this the idea • given to you .that you must be in cold • reserve in the presence of your children. You are not emperor.'you are compan- ion with them. As far as you can, you must talk with them', skate with them, fly kite with them, play ball with them, show them you are interested in all that interests them, Spensippus, the nephew and successor Of Plato in the academy, had pictures of joy and gladness hung all around the schoolroom. You must not give your children the impression that when they come to you they are playful ripples striking against a rock. You must have them understand that you were a boy once yourself, that you know a boy's hilarities, a boy's tempta- tions, a boy's ambition—yea that you are a boy yet. You may detceive them and try to give them the idea that you are some distant supernatural efful- gence, and you may shove them off by your rigorous behavior, but the time will come when they will find out the deception, and --they will have for you utter contempt. Aristotle said that a boy should begin to study at seveteen years of . age; be- fore that his time should be given to recreation. I cannot adopt that theory. But _this suggests a truth in the di- rection. Childhood is too brief,and we have not enough sympathy with ita' sportfulness. We want divine grace to help us in the adjuatirient of all these matters. Besides that how are your child rue ever to become Christians if you your - elf are not a Christian? I have noticed hat however worldly and sinful parents may be, they want their children good. IVIien young people have presented hemselves for admission into our mem- ership, I have said to them, "Are your ather and mother willing you shall ome?" ahd they have said; "Oh 1 yes; hey are delighted to have us come; hey have not been in church for ten or fteen years,but they will be hire next abbath to see me baptized." I have no - iced that parents, however worldly, want their children good. So it yvas demonstrated in a police ourt in Canada, where a mother, her ittle child in her arms --sat by a table n which her own handcuffs lay, and he little babe took up the handcuffs and layed with them and had great glee. he knew not the sorrow of the hour. nd then when the mother was sent to rison the mother cried out, "Oh I God, t not this babe go into the jail. Is here not some mother here who will ake this child? It is good enough for flaxen. It is pure. I am bad.- I am icked. 13 there not some one who will ke this child? I cannot have it tainted ith the prison." Then a brazen crea- re ruthed up and said, "Yes, I'll take le child." "No, no,' said the mother, not you, not you. Is there not some ood mother here who will take this hild ?" And then when the officer of e law in mercy and pity took the child carry it away to find a home for it, the other kissed it lovingly good -by, and id, "Good -by, my darling; it is better u should never see me again." However worldly and sinful people e, they want theirchildren good. How e you going to have them good? Buy em a few good books? Teach them a w excellent catechisms? Bring them church? That is all very well, but of tle final result unless you do it with e grace of God in your heart. Do you t realize that. your children are started r eternity? Are they on the right ad? Those little forms that are now bright and beautiful, when they have attered in the dust there will be an moiled. spirit living 'ou in a mighty eatre in action, and your faithfulness your neglect now is deciding that There is contention already among nistering spirits of salvation and fallen gels as to who shall have the mastery that immortal spirit. Your children soon going out in the world. The mptations of life will rush upon them. e most rigid reeolution will bend in blast of evil. What will be the re- t? It will require all the restraints the Gospel, all the strength of a her's prayer, all the influence of a ristian mother's example, to keep 11 5 1 A re to tu ti th to ea 3'd ar ar th fe to lit th no fo ro 80 SC itu th Or de mi an of are te Th the sul of fat Ch them. You say it is too early to bring them. Too early to br ing° them -to Gcid ? Do you know how early children were taken to the ancient Passover? The rule was just as soon as they could take hold of the father's hand and walk up Mount Month they should be taken to the Pass- over. • Your children are not too young to come to God. While you sit here and think of them perhaps their forms, now so bright and beautiful, vanish from you, and their disembodied spirit rises, and you see it after the life of virtue Or crime is past and the judgment is gone and eternity is here. A Christian minister said that in the first year of his pastorate he tried to persuade a young mechanic of the im- portance of family worship. Some time passed, and the mechanic came to the pastor's study and said: "Do you 're member that girl? That was my own child; she died this morning very sud- denly, she- has gone to God, I have no doubt, but if so, she has told Him what I tell you now; that child never heard a prayer in her father's house—never heard a prayer from - her father's lips. Oh I if I only had her back again one day to do my duty I" It will be a tre- mendous thing at thelast day if Soli16- one shall gay of us, "I never heard my father pray; I„never heard my mother pray." Again I remark, we wniit religion in all our home sorrows. There are ten thousand questions that come up iu the best regulated household that must he settled. Perhaps the father has one favorite in the family, the mother an- other favorite in the family, and there are many questions that need delicate treatment. Tyranny and arbitary decision haves no place in a household. If the parents love God, there will be a spirit of self- sacrifice, and a spirit of forgiveness, and a kindness which will throw, its charm over the entire household. Christ will ..../.1.AV /my u1.414 Lithlistaltilti, falai isay, 'Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them ; wives, see that you revereucti your husbands; children, obey your parents in the Lord; servants, be. obedient to your masters;" and the fam- ily will be like a garden on a summer morning—the grass -plot, and the flow- ers, mid the vines, and the arch of honeysuckle standiug in the sunlight glittering with dew. Bnt then there will be sorrows that will come to the household. There are but few fatnilies that escape the stroke of financial misfortune. Financial mis- fortune comes to a house where there is no religion. They kick against divine allotments. they curse God for the in- coming calamity; they withdraw from the world because they cannot hold as high a Position in society as they once did, and they fret,and they scowleaand they sorrow, and they die. Duritek the past few years there have been tens of thousands of men destroyed by their -fi- nancial 'distress. But iniefortune comes to the Christian household. If religion has full sway in• that home, they stoop gracefully. They- tiay, "This is right,' The father says "Perhaps money was getting to be my idol. Perhaps God -is going to make me a better Christian by putting me through the furnace of tribulation. Besides that. why should I fret anyhow? He who own- eth tee cattle on a thousand hills, and out of whose hands all the fowls of heaven peck their food,. is my Father. He clotheth the lilies of the field; he will clothe me, If He takes care of the raven and the hawk . and the vulture, most 'certainly he will take care of me, his child." Sorer troubles come—sickness and death. Loved ones sleep the last sleep. A child is buried out of sight. You say, 'Alas! for this bitter day. God has dealt very severely with me, I can never look up. 0, God, I cannot bear it." Christ comes in and He says, • llush I 0, troubled soul; it is well with the Child, I will strengthen thee in all thy [.roubles; My grace is suffinieut. When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee." What is ApRI1 mpoi TOM FOR, SA Oreeder of TI Figs- V When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. , But there are hundreds of families re- presented liere this morning where religion has been a great comfort. There are in your homes the pictures of your departed, and things that have no won- derful value of themselves; but you keep them precisely and carefully be- cause hands .now still once touched them. A father has gone out of this iot Itousehold; a has gone out of this, a daughter just after her gradua- tion day, a son just as he was entering ou the duties of life. And to other homes trouble will come. I say it not that you may be foreboding, not that you may do the unwisething of taking trouble by the forelock, but that you may be ready. We must. go one by one. There will be partings in all our households, We must say bath. well. We must die. And yet there are triumphant strains that drown these tremulous accents, there are anthems that whelet the dirge. Heaven is full of the shout of delivered captives, and to the great wide field of human -sorrow there comes now the reaper angels with keen sickles to harvest the sheaves of Heavens. aints will to the and endure; Safely will the Shepherd keep Those he purchased for his sheep. - Go home this day and ask the blessing on your noonday- meal. To -night set up the family altar. Do not wait until you become a Christian yourself. This day unite Christ to your household, for the Bible distinctly says that God will pour out his fury upon the families which call not upon his name. Open the Bible and read a chapter; that will make you strong. Kneel down and offer the first prayer in your household. It may be a broken petition, it may be Only "God bit merciful to we, a sinner;" but God will stoop, and spirits will listen, and angels will chant, 'Behold!'he prays." Do not retire from this house this morning until you have resolved 117)013 this Matter. You will be gone. I will be gone, many years will pass, and per- haps your younger children may forget almost everything about you; but forty years from now, in some Sabbath twi- light, your daughter will be sitting with the family Bible on her lap reading to her children, when she will stop, and peculiar' solemnity will come to her face, and a tear will start, and the child- ren will say, "Mother, what makes you cry ?" and she will say, "Nothing, only I was thinking that this is the eery Bible out of which my father and mother used to read at morning and evening prayer." All ether things about you they may forget; but train them up for -God and heaven ; they will not forget that. When a queen died, . her three sons brought an offering to the grave. One son brought gold, another brought sil- ver, but the third son came and stood over the grave and opened one of his veins and let the blood drop upon his mother's tomb, and all who saw it said it was the .greatest demon- stratiote of affection. My friends, what is the grandest gift we can bring to the sepulchres of a Christian ancestry ? It is a life all consecrated to the God who made us and the Christ who redeemed us. I cannot but believe that there are hundreds of parents in this house who have resolved to do their whole duty, and that at this moment they are pass- ing into a better life; and having- seen the grace of the Gospel in this place to- day, you are now fully ready to returu. to your own house, and show what great things God has done unto you. Though parents may in covenant bct, And have their Heaven in view, They are not happy till they see Their children happy too. May the Lord 6-'od of .Abraliam a CI Issac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, Le our God and the God of our children forever!
