DR. TALMAGE DESCRIBES IT IN HIS SUNDAY .SERMON. Fractleat Religion the Rind ThatIaWorth Sometifing-The Rectifier of All •lifechl, rad= and All Toil -Faith Without ' Works Is Dead. . WASHINGTON, Deo. 20.--Tbis subject of Dr. Talmage cuts through the convention- alities and spares nothing 'of that make believe religion which is all- talk and no practice. The text chosen was James in 20, "Faith without works is dead." The Roman Catholic church has been charged with putting too much stress up- on good works and not enough upon faith. I charge Protestanism with putting not enough stem upon good worksas connect- ed with :salvation. Good works will never save a man, but if a man have not good works ihe bas no real faith and no genuine religion. There are those who depend upon the fact that they are all right inside, white their conduct is wrong out:Ade. Their religion for. the inose part ismade 'op of tallt-orinoraus talk, fluent -talk, boastful talk, peepetual talk. They will entertain you bythe hour in telling you how good they are. They come up to such a higher life that they havd no patience with ordinary Christians in the plain dis- charge of their duty. As near as I can tell, this ocean craft is mostly saiI and very lit- tietonnage. Foretopinast staysail, foretop - mast studding sail, main topsail, mizzen topsall-everything from flying jib to miz- zen. spanker, but making no useful voy- age. Now, the world has got tired of this, and it wants a religion that will work into all the circumstances of life. We do not want a new religion, but the old religion applied in alrpossible directions. Religion That Is All Talk. Yonder is a river with steep and rocky banks, and it roars like a young Niagara as it rolls On over its rough bed. It does nothing but talk about itself all the Way . from its source in the mountain to the - place where it empties into the sea. The banks are so steep that the cattle cannot • come down to drink. It does not run one fertilizing rill into the adjoining field. It has not one gristmill of factory on either 'side. It sulks lee wet weather with chill- ipg fogs. No oneeares when that river is born among the rocks, and no one cares wben it dies into the sea. But yonder is Another river, and it mosses its banks with the warm tides, and it rocks with floral lullaby the water lilies. asleep on its bos- om. It invites herds of cattle and gooks' of sheep and coveys of birds to come there , and drink. It has three gristmills on one side and six cotton factories on the other. e It is the wealtb of 200eniles of luxuriant farms • The birde of heaven chanted when hi it was born in the mountain, and the 'ocean shipping will press in from the Ma to hail it as it comes down from the At - sl e 'antic coast. he one river is a man who lives for himself. The other river is a man twho lives for others. - DO yon koow how the sine of the ancient city of Jerusalem was chosen? There were two brothers who had adjoining farms. The one brother bad a large family; the other had no family. The brother with a large family said: "There Is my brother with no family. He must be lonely, and will try to cheer him up, and I will take some of the sheaves from nay field in the nighttime ,and set them over On his farm and saty nothing about it." The other brother said, "My brother hags large fam- ily„ and it is very difficult for him to sup- port them, and I will help him along, and I will take some of the sheaves from my farm in the nighttime and set them over on his farm and say nothing about it." So the work of transference went on night after night and night after night, batty- ery morning things sewn d to be just as they were, -for, though sjae4ves had been subtracted from:each fern), sheaves had also been added, and the brothers were oerplened and could not understand. But one night the brothers happened to ineet while making this generous transference, and the spot where they met was so sacred that it was chosen as the site of the city of Jerusalem. If that tradition should prove unfounded, it will nevertheless stand as a beautiful allegory setting forth -the idea that wberever a kindly and generous and - loving act is .performed that is the spot fit , for Bonito temple of commemoration. - Faith Without Works. 1.' • , I have- often spoken to you about faith, but this morning I speak to you about works, for "faith without works is dead." I think you will agree with ma in the statement that the great want of this world is more practical religion. We want -practical religion to go into all merehan- dise. It will supervise the labeling of goods. It will not allow a man to say that a thing was niade in ono 'factory when it was made in another: It will not allow the merchant to say, "That watch was man- ufactured in Geneva," when it was man- ufactured in Massachusetts. It will net allow the merchant to say that wine Came from Madeira when it came from ,Califor- nia. Practical religion wull waik along by the store shelves and tear off all the tags that make misrepresentation. It will not allow the merchant to say, "That is pure coffee," when dandelion root and -chicory and other ingredients go into it. It will not, allow him to say, "That is pure sugar," when there are in it sand and ground glass. When practical religicin gets its full swing in the world, it will go down the street, and it will come to that shoe store and rip off the &Manus soles of many a fine looking pair of shoes and show that it Is pasteboard sandwiched between the sound leather. And this practical religion will go right into a grocery store, and 15 will pull out the plug of all the adultera- ted sirups, and it will dump into the ash - barrel in front of the store the cassia bark that is sold -for cinnamon, and the brick-, dust that is sold for cayenne pepper, and it will shake out the prussian blue from the tea leaves, and it will sift from the flour plaster of paris and bone dust and Soapstone, and it will by chemical analy- els separate- the due quart of water from the few honest drops of cow's milk, and it will throw out ithe live animalcules from the brown sugar. . The Age of Adulteration. There has been so much adulteration of articles Of food that it is an amazement to nie that there is a healthy man or Woman in America. Heaven only knows what the' put into the spices, and ieto the sug- ars.; and into the butter, and into the apoth- ecary drug. But chemical analysis and the microscope have made wonderful revela- tions. The board of health in Massachu- setts analyzed a great amount of what was called pure coffee and found in it not one particle of Coffee. In -England' there is a law that forbids the putting of alum in bread. .The public authorities examined 51 packages of bread and found them all ruilty. The honest physician, writing a trescription, does not know buti that it may bring death instead of health to hift patient, because' there may be ene of tho drugs weakened by a clheaper article, and untidier drug limy be in full force, and so the prescriptionmay have just the opposite effect intended. Oil of wormwood, war- ranted pure, freni Boston -was found to have 41 per cent of rosin nnd alcohol and chloroform. Scammony is one of the most valuable -inedical drugs. It is very rare. very 'precious. It is the sap or the emu of /•-• •,,V4•1•• • a tree or a bush in Syria. . 'The root of the tree is exposed, an illeitd0n is made late the root, arid then shells are placed at thin incision to catch the sap or the gum as it suudes. Inisvery precious, this mannno- ny. But the pleasant mixes it with a cheap- er material. Then it is taken to Aleppo, ,1 snd' the" merchant there mixes it with a cheaper material; then 'it comes on to the wholesale druggist in London or New York, and be mixes it with a cheaper ma- terial; then it comes to the retail druggist, and he mixes it.with a Cheaper material, and by the time the poor sick maxi gets it into his bottle it is ashes aftd chalk and sand, and some of what has been called pure scaironony after analysis has been found to be no scannnony at all. A Scaly Job. Now, practleal religion will yet rectify all this. It will go to those hypecritical professors of religion who got a "corner" in corn and wheat in Chicago aud New &York, sending priees up a:ad up until they were beyond the reach of the poor, keep- ing these breadstuffs in their own bands, or controlling them until the prices, going up and up and up, they were, after awhile, ready to sell, and they -old out, making themselves millionaires in one or two years, trying to fix the matter up with the Lord by building a church or a unifiihrsited or a hospital, deluding themselven with khe idea that the Lord would be so pleased with the gift be would forget the swindle. Idow,is such a man may not have any lit- urgy in which to say his prayer?, I will compose for him one which he practically Is making: "Oh, Lord, we by getting a 'corner' in breadstuffs, swindled the peo- ple of thenUnited States out of $10,000,000 and made sufferingeall up and down the land, and we would like to compromise this matter with thee Thou knowest it was a scaly job, but, then, it was smart. Now, here we eompromise it. Take 1 per cent of the profits, and with 'that 1 per • cent you can build an asylum for these poor miserable ragamuffins of the Street, and I will take a yacht and go to Europe. Forever and ever, Amen." Ah, my friends, if a man bath gotten - his estate wrongfully and he build a line of hospitalsand universities from. here to Alaska, .he cannot atone for it. After awhile .this man whohas been,getting "corner" in wheat dies, and then satan gets a "corner" in him. Iple goes into a great, long Black Friday. There is 'a "break" in tbe market. According to Wall street parlance, he wiped others out, and now he is himself wiped out. Na collator- alon which to snake a sniritual loan. URO N EXPOSITQR And tbIS prActIcal religion, W111 never over She house, and over the barneand over the field, and OVer the orchard. •Yes, this practical religien of which amok will come into the learned profes- sions. The lawyer will feel bis responsi- bility in defending innocence and arraign- ing evil and expounding the law, and it will keep him from charging for briefs he never wrote, atal for lileaS he never made, and for percentages be never earned, and from robbing widow and orphan because they are defeneeless. Yes, thie practical religion will come into the physician's life, and he will feel his responsibility as the conservator of the public health, a pro- fession honored by the fact that Christ nimself was a physician. And it Will make him honest, and when he does not understand a case he will say Sce not try- ing to cover up lack of diagnosis with pon- derous technicalities or send the patient to a reckless drug store because the apothe- eary happens to pay apercentage on the . prescriptions sent. And this practical re- ligion will come to the sehoolteacher, Making her feel her responsibility in pre- paring our youth for usefulness and for happiness and for honor, and will keep her from giving a sly box to a dull head, obas- tisink him for what he cannot help and sending discouragement all through the after years of a lifetime. This practical re- ligion will also come to the newspaper men, and it will help them in the gather- ing of the news, and ib will help them in setting forth the 'best interests of society, and it Will keep them from putting the sins of' the World in larger type than its virtues, and its mistakes than its achieve- tnetts, and it will keep them from mis- tepresenting interviews with public men luild from starting suspicions that 'never tin be allayed and will make them stanch _ . friends of the oppressed instead of the or pressor. White Lies. o Yes, this religion, this practical religion, will come and put its hand on what is called good society, elevated society, suc- cessful society, op that people will have eir expenditures within their ineome, Ind they Will exchange the 'hypocritical not at home" for the honest explanation too tired' or "too busy to see you" and ill keep innocent reception -from becom- Ang intoxicated conviviality. Yea, there is great opportunity for mis- sionary work in what are called the suc- cessful classes of society. In some of the cities it is no rare thing now to see a fash- ionable woman intoxicaised in the street or the men car or the restamhint. The number 111. 411111MINMIMMIMMEM.

Medical doctors who took their religion into everyday Me: Dr. John Ab- ercrombie of Aberdeen, the greatest Scot- tish_physician of bis day, bis book on eases of the Brain and Spinal Cord," no more wonderful than his book on "The Philosophy of the' Morais Feelings," and often kneeling at the bedside of his pa- tients to commend them to God in prayer; ,Dr. John Brown of Edinburgh, immortal as an author, dying under the benediction of the sick of lEdinburgh, myself remem- bering him as be at in hilt study in Edin- burgh talking to me about Christ and his bope of heaven, and a score of Christian family physicians in Washington just as good as they were. - Lawyerswho carried their religion into their profusion: Lord Cairns, the queen's adviser for many years, the highest legal' authority in Great Britain -Lord Cairns every stammer in his vacation preaching as an evangelist among the poor of his country; John McLean, judge of the au- peeme court of the United States and pres- ident of the American Sonday Sehool union, feeling more satisfaction in the lat- ter office than in the former, and mimes Of Christian lavvyers as eminent in the ehurch of God as they are eminent at the bar.

Monday mornings inviting to a room in the top of his storehottee the clerks of his establishment, asking 'them about their worldly interests and their spiritual interests, then giving out a hymn,' leading in prayer, giving them a few words of good advice, asking them - what church they attended on the 80 - bath, What the text was, whether they had any especial troubles of their own.

But this practical religion will not °illy rectify all merchandise; it will also rectify all inochanism and fill toil. A time will come when a man will work as faithfully by the job as he does by the day. You say when a thing is slightly done, "Oh, that was done by the job." You can tell by the swiftness or slowness with which a hack- man drives whether he is hired by the hour or by the excursion. If he is hired by the our, he drives very slowly, so as to make as many hours as possible. If he is hired _by the excursion, he whips •up the horses so as to get aroundaid get another -customer. All styles of Work have to be inspected-oships inspected, berms inepeet- .ed, machihery jinspected; boss to watch the jeurneymad, capitalist coming down unexpectedly to watch the boss, conduct- or of a city car sounding the punch bell to prove his honesty ail' passenger hands to him a ,clipped nickel. All things must be watched and inspeeted-imperfections in the wood covered With putty, garments warranted to last until you put them on the third time, shoddy in all kinds of clothing,chromos, pinchbeck', diamonds for $1.50, bookbinding that holds on un- til -you read the third chapter, spavined horses, by skillful dose of jockeys, for sev- eral days made to look spry, wagon tires poorly put on, horses poorly shod, plas- tering that craoksavithmit arty provoca- tion and falls off, plumbing that needs to be plumbed, imperfect car wheel that halts the whole train With whet box. So -little practical religion in the mechanism . of the world! I tell you, my friends, the law of man will never rectify these things; it will be theall pervading influence of the practical religion of Jesus Christ that will make the change for the better. All Will Feel It. Yes; this practical religion will also go into agriculture; which is proverbially honest, but needs to be rectified, and it will keep the farmer from -sending tdthe city market veal that is too young to kill, and when the :farmer farms on shares it will keep the man who does the work from making his half three-fourths, and it will keep the farmer from building his post and rail fence on his neighbor's premises, and it will make him shelter bis cattle in the winter storm; and it will keepthe old elder from working on Sundayetfternoote in -Oho new erotindwhere,nob.ody sees him. -watts, • or nne unues W.130 arum too ninon, is in- creasing. Perhaps you may find her at the reception in inost exalted company, but she has made too many visits to the wine - room, and now her eye is glassy, and after awhile her cheek is unnaturallY flushed, ond then she falls into fits of excruciating laughter about nothing, and then she of- fers sickening flatteries, tellhig SO1110 homely man how well he looks, and then she is helped into the carriage, aod by the time the carriage gets to her home it takes the husband and the coachman to get her up the stairs. The report is she „was taken suddenly ill at a german. Ali, no! She took too much champagne an mixed liquors and got drunk. That was all. Yea, this practical religion will have to come in and fix up the marriage j relation in America. There are members of church- es who have too many wives Mid too many husbands. Society needs M be expurgated and washed and fumigated and Chris- tianized. We want this practical religion net only to take hold of what are called the lower classes, but to take hold of what are called the higher classes. The trouble Is tat people have an idea they can do all theft religion on Sunday with hymnbook and prayer book and liturgy, and, some of them sit ineburch rolling up their eyes as though they were ready for translation when their Sabbath is bounded on all sides by an Inconsistent lite, and evbile you are expecting to come quti from under their arms the wings of an angel there come outfrom their forehead the horns of a beast. New Work For the Old Gospel, There has got to be a new departure in religion. I do not say a new religion. Oh, no, but the old religion brought to new appliances. In our time we have had the daguerreotype and the ambrotype and the photograph, but it is the same 'old sun, and these arts are only new appl ances of the old sunlight. So this glorious gospel is just, what we want to photograph the Im- age of God on one soul and daguerreotype// it on another soul. Not a new gospel, butt the old gospel put to new work In pur time we have had the telegraph inven- tion, and the telephonic invention and the electric aight invention, but tbey are all children of old electricity, an elem4ent that the philosophers have a long while known -much about. So this electric gospel needs to flash its light on the eyes and ears and Souls of men and to become a t lephonic medium to make the deaf be r. a tele - as tney were.- , Farmers who take their religion into their ocoupation: Why, this minute. their borses and wagons stand around all the meeting houses in America.
