Sturdy Blows In Behalf of the Home and Against the DissoluSeness of Modern•So-i ciety— Wholesale Divorce Condemned. The Blessed Marriage State. NEW YORK, March 17.—Rov. Dr. Tal- mage chose as the subject of his afternoon - sermon in the Academy of Music today a topic of national interest—viz, "Whole- sale Divorce." The great audience re- peatedly showed its appreciation of tho sentiments expressed by the reverend speaker, and his sturdy blows in behalf of the protection of the household and against the dissoluteness of modern society were received with Marked appreciation. The text selected was Matthew xix, 6, "What, therefore, God hath joined togoth- er let not man put asunder." That there are hundreds and thousands 69 infelicitous homes in -America no one will doubt. If there were only one skele- ton in the closet, that might be looked up and abandoned, but in many a borne there is a skeleton in the hallway and a skeleton in all the apartments. "Unhappily married" are two words descriptive of ninny a homestead. It needs no orthodox minister to prove to a badly mated pair that there is a hell. They are there now. Sometimes a grand and gracious woman will be thus inear- (aerated, and her life will be a crucifixion, as was the case with Mrs. Sigourney, the great poetess and the groat soul. Some- times a consecrated man will be united to a fury, as was ohn Wesley, or united to a vixen, as w John Milton. Some- times, and genotally, both parties are to blame, and Thomas Carlyle was an intol- erable scold, and his wife smoked and swore, and Froude, the historian, pulled aside the curtain from the lifelong squab- ble at Cralgenputtock and Five, Cheyno Row. Our National Scourge. Some say that for the alleviation of all • these domestic disorders of which we bear .easy divorce is a good prescription. God sometimes authorizes divorce as certainly as he authorizes marriage. I have just as much regard for one lawfully divorced as I have for one lawfully married. But you know and I know that wholesale divorce is one of our national scourges. I am not surprised at this when I think of tho in- fluences which have been abroad militat- ing against the marriage relation. For many years the platforms of the country rang with talk about a free love • millennium. There were meetings of this kind held in the Cooper institute, New York; Treniont. temple, Boston. and all over tho land. Some of the NVOIDCD who were most proniinent in that movement have since been distinguished for great promiscuosity of affection. Popular themes for such occasions were the tyran- ny of man, the oppression of tho marriage relation, women's rights and the affinities. Prominent speakers were women with short curls and short dresses and very long tongues, everlastingly at war with God because they were created women, while on the platform sat meek mon with soft accent and cowed demeanor, apologetfc for masculinity and holding the parasols while the termagant orators went on preaching the doctrine of free love. Two plighting Poisons. That campaign of about 20 years sot ore devils into the marriage relation han will be exorcised in the next 50. en and women went home from such eetings so permanently confused as to ho were their wives and husbands that ey never got out of their perplexity, and e criminal and the civil courts tried to sentangle the "Iliad" of woos, and this 6 got alimony, and that ono got a limit - divorce, and this mother kept the chil- en on condition that - the father could metimes come and look at them, and ese went into poorhouses, and those eat- into aia insane asylum, and those ent into dissolute public life, and all ent to destruction. The mightiest war , er made against the marriage institu- n was that free love campaign, some - rues under one name and sometimes ma- r another. Another influence that has warred upon e marriage relation has been polygamy Utah. That was a stereotyped carica - re of the marriage relation and has Wined the whole land. You might as 11 think that you can have an arm in a to of mortiLiCation and yet the whole dy not be sickened as to have those ter- ries polygamized and yet the body of nation not feel the putrefaction. Hear • good men and women of America, t so long ago aa 1862 a law- was passed congress forbidding polygamy in tho ritories and in all the places where they jurisdiction.

Polygamy stood more cliched, and more brazen, and more ssant, and more braggart, and more rnal. James Buchanan, a much scd man of his day, did more for the rpation of this villainy than most he subsequent administrations. Mr. hanan sent out an army, and although as halted in its work still he accom- lied more than sonic of the administra- s which did nothing but talk, talk, I At last, but not until it had poi - d generations, polygamy has received eathblow. - olygainy in Utah warred against the riage relation throughout the land. as impossible to have such an awful r of iniquity sending up its miasma, h was wafted by tho winds north, east, and west, without the whole being affected by it.

One- half of the newsstands of all our cities reeking with the filth. say some, "we admit all these evils, and the only way to clear them out or correct them is by easy divorce." Well, before we yield to that ery let us find out how easy it is now. I have looked over the laws of all the states, and I find that while in some states it is easier than in others in every state it is easy. The state of Illinois, through its legislature, recites a Tong list of proper, causes for divorce and then closes up by giving to the courts the right to make a decree of divorce in any case where they deem it expedient. After that you aro not surprised atthe announcement that In ono county of the state of Illinois in one year there were 833 divorces. If you want to know how easy it is, you have only to look over the records of the states. In the city of San Francisco 833 divorces in one year, and in 20 years in New England 20,- 000- Is that not easy enough? If the same ratio continuo—the ratio of multiplied divorce and multiplied causes of divorce—we are not far from the time Children Cry for • MARCH 22, 1895. when our °mutts wIB haVe to set apart whole days for application, and all you will have to prove against.a man will be that be left his newspaper In the middle of the floor, and all you will have to prove against a woman will be that her hus- band's overcoat is buttonless. Causes of divorce double in a few years—doubled in France, doubled in England and doubled In the United States. To show how very easy it is I have to tell you that in west- ern reserve, Ohio, the proportion of di- vorces to Inerriagos celebrated is 1 to 11, In Rhode Island is 1 to 13, in Vermont 1 to 14. Is not that easy enough? Marriage In Fun. I want you to notice that frequency of divorce always goes along with the disso- luteness of society. Rome for 500 years had not one case of divorce. Those wore her days of glory and virtue. Then the reign of vice began, and divorce became epidemic. If you want to know how rap- idly the empire went dawn, ask Gibbon. What we want in this country and in all lands is that divored be made more and more and more difficult. Then People be- fore they enter that relation will be per- suaded that there will probably be no es- cape from it, except through the door of the sepulcher. Then they will pause on tho verge of that relation until they are fully satisfied that it is best, and that it is right, and that it is happiest. Then we shall have no more marriage in fun. Then men and women will not enter the rela- tion with the idea it is only a trial trip, andlf they do not like it they can get out at the first landing. Then this whole question will bo taken out of the frivolous into the tremendous, 'and there will be no more joking about the blossoms in a bride's hair than about the cypress on a coffin. What we want is that the congress of the United States change the national constitution so that a law can be passed which shall be uniform all over the coun- try, and what shall be right in one state shall be right in all the states, and bat is wrong in one state will be wrong i the states. How is it now? If a party in the riage relation gets dissatisfied, it is necessary to move to another stat achieve liberation from the domestic and divorce is effected so easy that first ono party knows of it is by seein the newspaper that -Rev. Dr. Someb on March 17, 1895, introduced in a marriage relation a MOD/ ber of tho 130 hold who went off on a pleasure excur to Newport .or a business excursion to cage. .Married at tho bride's house. cards. There are states of the Un which practically put a premium upon t disintegration of the marriage relation while there are other States, like our o Now York state, that had for a long the pre-eminent idiocy of making mar- riage lawful at 12 and 1,4_years of ag Uniform Divorce Laws. The congress of the -United States ne to move for a change of the national co stitution and then to appoint a committ o —not made up of single , gentlemen, at of men of familieS, and their famine in Washington—who shall prepare ood, honest, righteous, comprehensiv , uniform law that will control every ing from Sandy Hook to tho Golde Horn. That will put an end to br rages in mar- - riages. That will send divorce lawyers into a decent business. That will set people agitated foe many years on the question of how shall they get away from each oth- er to planning how they can adjust them- selves to the more or less .unfavorable circumstances. -- Moro difficult divorce will put an estop- pel to a great extent upon marriage as a financial speculation. There are men who go into the relation just as they go into Wall street to purchase shares. Tho female to be invited into the p-artnorship of wed- . lock is utterly unattractive and in disposi- tion a suppresSed Vesuvius. , Everybody knows it, but this masculine candidate for matrimonial orders, through the commer- cial agency or through the county records, finds out how much estate is to bo inherit- ed, and he calculates it. He thinks out how long it will be before the old man will die and whether he can stand the refrac- tory temper until he does die, and then he enters the relation, for he says, "If I can- not stand it, then through the divorce law I'll back out" That process is going on all the time, and men enter the relation without any moral principle, without any affection, and it is as much a matter of stock speculation as anything that tran- spired yesterday in Union Pacific, Illinois Central or Delaware and Lackawanna. Now, suppose a man understood, as he ought to understand, that if he goes into that relation there is no possibility of his getting out or no probability, he would be more slow to put his neck in the yoke. He would say to himself, "Rather than a 'Caribbean whirlwind, with a whole fleet of shipping in its arms, give me a zephyr off fields of sunshine and gardens of peace." A The Altar of Sacrifice.

An perhaps, my brother, x»y sister—perha you may appreciate each other better heaven than you have appreciated eac other on earth. In the "Farm Ballad- s" our America poet puts into the lips of a repentant hu band after a life of married perturbatio these suggestive words: And when she diesI wish that she would laid by me, And lying together in silence perhaps we wi agree. And if ever we meet in heaven I would n think it queer If we love each other better because we qua reled here. Little Infelicities. And let me say to those of you who ar in happy married union, avoid first quer rels. Have no unexplained correspond mice with former admirers; cultivate n suspicions; in a moment of bad temper d not rush out and tell the neighbors; d not let any of those gadabouts of societ unload in your house thoir baggage of ga and tittle tattle; do not stand on you rights; learn how to apologize; do not b 'so proud, or so stubborn, or so devilish that yon will not make up. Remembe that the worst domestic misfortunes and most scan dal ous divorce cases started from little infelicities. Tho whole piled up train of ten rail cars telescoped and smash- ed at the foot of an embankment 100 feet down came to that catastrophe by getting two or throe inches off the track. Some of the greatest domestic misfortunes and the wide resounding divorce cases have started from little misunderstandings that were allowed to go on and go on until home and respectability and religion and mortal soul went down in the crash, crash! And, fellow eitizens as well as fellow Christians, lot us have a divine rage against anything that wars on the mar- riage state. Blessed institution! Instead of two ems to fight the battle of life, four; instead of two oyes to scrutinize the path of life, four; instead of two shoulders to lift the burden of life, four. Twice the energy, twice the courage, twice the holy ambition, twice the probability of world- ly success, twice tho prospects of heaven. Into the matrimonial bower God fetches two souls. Outside that bower room for all contentions, and all bickerings, and all controversies, but inside the bower there is room for only one guest—the angel of love. Let that angel stand at the floral doorway of this Edonic bower with drawn sword to how down the worst foe of that bower—easy divorce. And for ev- ery paradise lost may there be a paradise tegained, and after we quit our home here may we have a brighter home in heaven, at the window's of which this moment are familiar faces watching for our arrival Ind wondering why so long we tarry. n set bath the lore lake tbe this ung fore alli- e as uti- and the vols ime who o in who ood kles CM - for Re - oro ble. for ver ou yer eSS the all Wrt ith ins at his an ist Ou e - Or ur ke at in t- ps 13 11 8- n bo 11 ot r- 0 Testing Electrical Resistance.
