Be Has a Word to Say as to Whether Righteousness Is Profitable—Godliness Is Good .for tlio Intellect—It Is Also Healthy. BROOSLYN. Jan. &—At the Tabernacle today the Rev. T. De Witt Talmago t D. D., preached a discourse on the subject: \Does Religion Pay?\ The opening hymn was: My days are gliding swiftly by. . And h a pilgrim stranger, Would not detain them us they fly. These hours of toil and danger\. The text was: \Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.\— I Timothy iv, a Dr. Talmago said: A happy New Year to one and alll There is a gloomy and passive way of wait- ing for .the events of tho opening year to come upon us, and there is a heroic way of going out to meet them, strong In God and fearing nothing. When the body of Catiline was found hi the battlefield it was found far in advance of all his troops, and among the enemy; and the best way is not for us to Uo down and let the events of life trample over us, but to go forth in a Christian spirit deter- mined to conquer. The papers were made out, and some of you havo just entered into busines^jpartner- ships, and others of you take higher positions in the commercial establishment whoro you were engaged, and others havo entered upon new enterprises, and there wero last week in these cities ten thousand business changes. You were expecting prosperity, and I am de- termined, so far as 1 have anything to do with it, that you shall not be disappointed, jnd therefore 1 propose, as God may help me this morning, to project upon your attention a uew element of success. You will have in the business firm, frugality, patienco, indus- try, perseverance, economy—a very, strong business firm, but there needs to be one mem- ber added, mightier than them all, and not a silent partner either—the one introduced by my text: \Godiinsss which is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the Ufo that now is as well as of that wbich is to come.\ 100 MUCU LEVIT7 IS LATTER DAY RBL.1GIOS. I suppose you are all willing to admit that Godliness is important in itseternal relations; but perhaps some of you say: \All 1 wont is on opportunity to say a prayer before 1 die, and all- will be well\ There are a great many people who suppose that if they can finally get safely out of this world into a hot- ter world, they will have exhausted the en- tire advantage of our hply religion. Tbay talk as though religion wero a mere nod of recognition which wo are to give to tho Lord Jesus on our way up to a lfcave:ilv mansion; as though it wore an admission -ticket of no us© except to give in at the door of heaven. And there are thousands of paopla who havo gruat admiration for a religion of the shroud, end a religion of Cue coffin, and a religion of the hoiirso, and a religion of tho cemetery, who have JIU appreciation of a religion for tho banfc, for the farm, for the factory, for tho v.-ar^iiojxe, for the jeweler's shop, for the broker's o'ftiea. Now, while i would not throw any slur on a post-mortem religion, 1 want this morning, and on the first Sabbath of the new year, to eulogize an ante-mortom religion. A religion that Is of uo use to you while you live, wili be of uo use to you when you die. \Godli- ness is profitable unto all things, having the promis^if tho life that now is as well as of that which is to come.\ And 1 havo always noticed that when the grace is very low In-a man's heart he talks a great deal tn prayer meetings about deaths, and about coSins, and about graves, and about churchyards. 1 have noticed that the healthy Christian, the man who is living near to'God, and is ou the straight road to heaven, is full of jubilant satisfaction, and talks about tho duties of this life, understanding well that If Uod helps him to Uvo right ha will help him to dio right Now, in the first place, 1 remark that godliness is good for a man's physical health. I do not mean to say that it will restore a brokon down constitution or drive rheuma- tism from the limbs, or neuralgia from the temples, or pleurisy .from tho side; but I do mean to say that it gives one such habits and puts one in such condition as is most favorable for physical health. That I believe and that I avow. Everybody knows that buoyancy of spirit is good physical advantage. Gloom, unrest, dejection are a t war with every pul- sation of the heart and with every respira- tion of tho lungs. It lowers thevitality, it slackens the circulation,.while exhilaration of spirit pours the very balm . of heaven through all tho currents of Ufa The sense of insecurity which sometimes hovers over an unregsaerate man, or pounces upon him with the blast of ten thousand trumpets of terror, is most depleting and most exhausting, while the feeling that all .things are working to- gether for my good now, and for my ever- lasting welfare, is conducive to physical health. You will observe that godliness induces industry, which is the foundation of good health. There is no law of hygiene that will keep a lazy man well. Pleurisy will stab him, erysipelas will burn- him, jaundice will discolor him, gout wDJ cripple 'him,-an<i the- intelligeni physician will not prescribe anti- septic or febrifuge or anodyne, but saws and hummers and yardsticks and crowbars and pickaxes.' There is no such thing as good physical condition without positive work of some kind, although you should sleep on down of swan or ride in carriage of softest uphol- stery or have on your table all the luxuries that were poured from the wine vats of Ispa- han and Shiraz. Our religion says: \Away to the bank! away to the field I away to the shop 1' away to the factory I Do something that will enlist all the energies of your body, mind and sonL\ \Diligent in business, fer- vent in spirit,, serving the Lord;\ while upon the bare back of the idler and' the drone comes down the sharp lash of the apostle as. he says: \If any man will not work, neither shall he eat\ BOW REEIGION IS GOOD FOB THE HEALTH. Oh, how important i s this day, when eo much is said about anatomy and physiology and therapeutics, and some new style of medi- cine is ever and anon springing upon the •world, that you should understand that the highest school of medicine is the school of Christ, which declares that \Godliness is •profitable unto all things, having tho promise of the life that now is as well as of that which js to coma\ So if you start out two men in the world with equal physical-health, and then one of them shall get.the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ in bis heart, and the other .shall not get it, the one who becomes a son of the Lord Annighty will Jive the longer. \.With long life will I satisfy thee, and show thee my salvation.\ • I Again 1 remark that godliness is good for the intellect. X know some have supposed that just as soon as a- man enters into the Christian Ufa his intellect goes into a be- dwarfing process. So far from that, religion •will give new brilliancy to the intellect, new strength to the imagination, new force to the ••prill, and wider swing to all the intellectual faculties. Christianity, is the great central fire et which philosophy nas lighted ita brightest torch. The religion of the Lortj Jesus Christ is the fountain ont of which learning has dipped its clearest draught. The Helicon poured forth no such inspiring waters as those which flow from under the throne of God clear as crystal. Religion has given new energy to poesy, weep- ing in Dr. Young's \Night Thoughts,\ teaching in Cowpor's \Task flam- ing in Charles Wesley's hymns, and rushing with archangelio splendor through ' Milton's \Paradise Lost.\ The religion of Jesus Christ has hung in studio and in gallery of art and in Vatican, the best pietures-^Tl- tian's \Assumption Raphael's \Transfigura^ tion,\ Rubens' \Descent from the Cross,\ Claude's \Burning Bush,\ and Angelo's \Last Judgment.\ Religion has made the best mu- sic of the world—Hadyu's \Creation Han- del's \Messiah Mozart's \Itequiem.\ is it possible that a religion which builds such in- destructible monuments, and which lifts its ensign on the highest promontories of worldly power, can havo any effect upon a man's in- tellect but elevation and enlargement i Now, I commend godliness as the bust mental dis- cipline—better than belles-lottros to purify the taste, better than mathematics to har- ness the mind to all intricacy and elaboration, better than logic to marshal tho intellectual forces for onset and victory. It will go with Hugh Miller and show him the footprints of the Creator in the red sandstone. It will go with the botanist and show him celestial glories encamped under the curtain of a water Sly. It will go with the astronomer on the great heights whore God shepherds the great flock of worlds, that wander on the hills of heaven answering his voice as he calls them all by then- names. IIOW ESUGION PREVENTS DESPONDENCY AND GLOOMIHESS, Again 1 remark that godliness is profitable for cue's disposition. Lord Ashley, before he went into a great battle, was heard to offer this prayer: \O Lord, I shall be very busy today; if 1 forget thee, forget me not.\ With such a Christian disposition as that, a man is independent of ail circumstances. (Juf piety will have a tingo of our natural temperament. If a man be cros3 and sour and fretful natur- ally, after he becomes a Christian he will always have to be armed against the rebellion, of .those evil inclinations; but religion has tamed the wildest nature; it has turned fret- fulness into gratitude, despondency into good sheer, and those who were hard and ungov- ernable and uncompromising havo been made pliablo and conciliatory. Good resolution, re- formatory effort, will not effect the change. It takes a mightier arm and a mightier baud to bend evil habits than tue hand that bent the bow of Ulysses, and it takes a stronger lasso than ever held the buffalo on toe prairie. A man cajmot go forth with any human weapons' and contend successfully against, these Titans armed with uptorn mountain. But you have known men into whose spirit tho influence of the Gospel of Christ came un- til their disposition was entirely changed. So it was with two merchants ixx $ew York, They were very antagonistic. They had demo ail they could to injure each other. Thay were t a tbo sama line of busi-. uess. Ono cf the merchants was con- verted to God. Having bsari converted, he aticU the? Lord to teach him how to bear him- [ self toward that business antagonist, aid he j was impressed with the fact that it was his duty when a customer asked for certain kinds of goods which he bad not, but which lie knew his opponent had, to recommend him to go to that store. I suppose that is about the hardest ihing a man could do; but hard in bis dealings with his fellows, who bad written over bis banking house, or his count- lag house room: \No compromise.\ Then when some merchant got in a crisis and went down—no fault of his, but a conjunction, of evil circumstdnceo^-and all tho other merchants were willing to compromise-^they would take seventy-live cants on tho dollar, or fifty cents, or twenty conts-^-coming to this man last of all, he said: \No compromise; I'll, take ono hundred cents on the dollar, and I can afford to wait.\ Well, tho wheel turned, and after a while that man was in a crisis of business, and he sent out his agents to com- promise, and tho agents said to the inei^ chants: \Will you take fifty cents oh the dollar?* \No.\ ' \Will you take anything;\ \We'll take one hundred cents on the dollar. No comj5roihi£3.\ And tho man who wrote that inscription over his counting house door died in destitution. Oh, wo want more of the kiadness of the Gospel and the spirit of love in our business enter- prises! How many young men have found in the religion of Jesus Christ a practical help? How many there are in this house to- day who could testify out of their own expe^ rienco that godliness is profitable for the life that now is. There were times in their busi- ness career when they went here for help, and there for help, and yonder for help, and got no help until they knelt before the Lord crying for his deliverance, audthe Lord res- cued them. In a beak not far from our great inotrop- blls-^a village banfc-an officer could not bal- ance his accounts. He had worked at them day after day, night after night, and hs was sick nigh unto death as a result He knew he had not taken one farthing \from that bank, but somehow^ for some reason inscrutable the accounts wouldn't balance. Tho time rolled on, and the morning of the day when tho books should pass under the inspection of the other officers arrived* and he felt himself in awful peril, conscious of his own integrity but unable to prove that integrity That morning he went. to. the>l(arik early, and lie knelt down bsforo God arid told the whole story of his mental anguish, and he said: \0 Lord, I have done right; I have preserved my integrity, but hero. 1 am about to bo over- thrown unless t hou shouldst come to my res- cue, Lord,-deliver\me.\ And for one hour he continued the prayer before God, end then he rose and woat to an old blotter that he had forgotten nil about. Ho opened it, and there-fay a sheet of figures which be only needed tcTftdd to another Una ottigures-^sorne lino of figures -he had forgotten, »nd injew not where he had laid thorn—aiid the- ae- counte' were 1 balanced, and the Lord deliv- ered him. You are an infidel if you do not believo it. .'The Lord delivered him.' God answered his prayer as he will answer your prayer, *O man of business, in every crisis when you corns to him. Now, if this fc? so, then 1 oa persuaded, as you are, of the fact that the vast ^majority of Chris- tians do not fully test ti e value of their re- ligion. They are like a farmer in California, with fifteen thousand acres of good wheat land and cultiirlug only a quarter of an acfa Way dp yoii not go forth and make the re^ ligion.of Jesus Christ a practical- affair every day of your business life and all this year, beginning ./now, and to-mori-ow morning putting into practical effect this holy religion and demonstrating in your lifo that godliness is profitable hero 03 woll as hereafter J - HOW AND WHY KSMGiOK IS iNatSPSKSABLB. • How can you got aloiig without this ro- ils til. Frederick III was far more than a mere soldier. On one side of hii nature he was in warm sympathy with the military patriotism of his people; on the other bo was in close touch with the varied activities of their intel- lectual culture and industrial enterprises. Excluded as be was, by his position, from pub- lic intervention In party politics, he never sank into inactivity. His wide sympathies found many fields of congenial energy. On every side ho carefully prepared himself to Ell the great position to which he would one day bo called The official director of the state museums, the patron of arts and sciences, the promoter of educational and philanthrop- ical Institutions, he labored heart a'nd soul to popularize the results of aesthetic and scien- tific culture, and to advance the well being of his people. Among the many educational movements in which he was interested may be specially mentioned the Fortbil- dungschulen, which supply instruction to persons of every class or ago after they have loft school. In later life his chief recreations were musio and literature. His favorite composers were Gluck and Mozart Wagnerism as a social cult, he particularly disliked; but ho greatly admired \Tann- hauser,\ \Lohengrin;\ \Fliegende Hoi- lander,\ \Meistersinger\ and \ParsifaL 1 ' \Tristan und Isolde\ be could not bear; and tho \Trilogie in spite of fine and stirring reipsages, was, as a whole, to Mm almost un- endurabla With the history of his own country he made Uiinseif intimately, familiar, and the great national work upon the reign of Frederick the Great was continued under his especial patronage, to particularize his fa- vorite books would be a difficult task. But those of whieh he never wearied were, \Faust \Nathan der Weise\ and, as many, will learn with special interest, because it de- notes the hidden source of strength upon which he relied throughout his last illness, the \Nachf olge Chrir-ti\ of Thomas a Kempis. ^Nineteenth Century Tile Dnt-u-s of Korea. ' Speaking of Korean baby eating by tho missionaries, the king in this case sent out a proclamation asking F-hy one who had known of babies being stolon by foreigners to come forth and make his charge good. He called attention to the fact that foreigners were civilized and \asked tho question as to how civilized people could eat children. \But the proclamation wont on, \if children are being stolen, let tho information bs Sled be- foro tho proper authorities am! the offenders will be arrested; and if foend gujlty by evi- dence, will be punished. A reward of g40 r OGO cosh will bo paid for each person so found guilty, to : thb informant, -but in- case the information . is. .not supported by tho evidence the Informant shall ba fined in a like amount for bring- ing the chai-ge.\ This proclamation was signed with the royal seal and was pasted on the gates and on the great boll in the cen- ter of the city. The selling cf children, is ( however, not uncommon iu.ltorca, and I am told that many are exported to China.
