Rev T. De Wirr Tatmacr, D D., | peenohed Sunday last, in the Brooklyn Taber- nacle, the tenth of hia eeries of sermons on
j | {Tho Marriage Ring,” the su>ject being
*The Sister's Influence Upon Her | Brothers.” The pastor first read and ex- pounded a chapter in Exodus, on the crossing of the Red Sea, and spoke of the water on either side of the Israelites as “erystal palisades.” The hymn sung was .
**Come, thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to siag thy grace.”
_The text was Exodus ii, 4: ‘‘And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.” Dr. Talmage said :
Princess Thermutis, daughter of Pharaoh,
looking out through the lattics of her bathing-house, on the banks of the Nile, saw @ curious boat on the river. It had neither oar nor helm,,and they would have been useless anyhow. There was only one passenger and that a baby boy. But the Mayflower that brought the Pilgrim Fathers to America carried not so precious aload The boat was made of the broad ‘eaves of papyrus tightened together by bitumen. Boats were sometimes made of tha: material.s- we féarn from Pliny and Herodotus and Theopbrastus. ‘Kill all the Hebrew children born,” had been Pheraoh’sorder. To save her boy, Joche- bed, the mother of little Moses, had put him in that queer boat and launched him. His sister Miriam stood on the bank watch- ing that precious craft. She was far enongh off not to draw attention to the boat, but near enough to offer protection. There the stands onthe bank. Miriam the poet- ess, Miriam the quick-witted, Miriam the faithful, though very human, for in after time she became *so mad with that very brother for marrying a woman she did not like, thatshe made a great family row and was struck with leprosy. Miriam was a splendid sister but had her faults like the rest of us. How carefully she watched the boat containing her brother! A strong wind. might upset it. The buffiloes often found there might in a sudden plunge of thirst sink it. Some rav- enous watée fowl might swoop and pick his eyes Qaeewith iron beak. Some crocodile or hippy potamus erewiing through the rushes might craneh the bebe. Miriam watched and wetched uniil Princess Thermutis, a maiden on eich side of her hoiding palma leaves over her to shelter her from tue oun, cauts dé Sw «ud entered her Bath- ing house. When from the lattice she saw that boat she ordered it brought, and when the leaves were pulled back from the face of the child and the boy looked up he cried aloud, for ve was hungry and frightened and would not even let the princess take him. The infant would rather stay hungry than acknowledge any one of the court as mother. Now Miriam the sister, incognito, no one suspecting her relation to the child, ieaps from the bank and rashes down and offers to get a nurse to pacify the child. Consent is given, she bring Jochebed the baby’s mother, incognito, not sure of the court knowing that she was the mother, snd when Jochebed arrived the child stop- ped crying, for its fright was calmed and its hanger appeased. You may admire Jochebed, the mother, and all the ages may admire Moses, but I clap my hands in applause at the behavior of Miriam, the faithful, brilliant and strategic sister.
. ‘Go home,” some one might have said to Miriam. ‘*Why risk yourself out there alone on the banks of the Nile, breathing the miasma and in danger of being at- tacked of wild beast or ruffian; go home!” No; Miriam, the sister, most lovingly watched aad bravely defended Moses, the brother. Is he worthy her care and courage! On, yes; the sixty centuries of the world’s history have never had so much involved in the arrival of any ship at any port as in the landing of that papyrus b2at cauiked with bitumen. Its one passenger was to be a nonsuch in history. Lawyer, statesman, politician, regislator, organizer, conqueror, deliverer. He had such remark- able beauty in childhood that Josephus says, when he was carried along the road people stopped to gaz at him, and work- men would leave their work to admire him. When the king playfully put his crown upon this boy he threw it off indignantly aud put his foot on it. The king, fearing that this might be asign that the child might yet take down his crown, applied another test. According to the Jewish legend the king ordered jtwo bowls to be put before the child, one containing rubies and the other burning coals. And if he took the coals he wa: to live, and if he took the rubies he was to die. For some reason the child took one of the coals and put it in his mouth, so that his life was spared, although it burned the tongue till he was indistinct of utterance ever after. Having come to mannood,he spread open the palms
f his hands in prayer, and the Red Sea parted to let two million five hundred thousand people escape. -And he put the palms of his hands together in prayer, and the Red Sea closed on a strangulated host.
His life was unutterably grand, his burial must be on the same scale. God would let neither man nor saint, nor archangel, have anything to do with weaving a shroud or digging for him a grave. The omnipotent God left His throne in Heaven one day, and if the question was asked, ‘‘ Whither is the King of the Universe going?” the answer was, “‘{ am going down to bury Moses.” And the Lord took this mightiest of men to the top oi a hill, and the day was clear, and Moses ran his eye over the magnificent range of country. Here, the valley of Esdraelon, where the final battle of all nations is to be fought; and yonder, the mountains Hermon, and Lebanon, and Gerizim, and hills of Judea; and the village of Bethlehem there, and the city of Jericho fyonder, and the vast etretch of landscape that almost took thw od lowyiver's brvath

away as he looked at it. And then, with- out a pang, a8 I learn from the statement that the eye of Moses was undimmed and ‘his natural force unabated, God touched
HER | the great lawgiver’s eyes, and they closed;
and his lungs, and they ceased; ‘and his heart, and it stopped; and com- imanded, saying: ‘* To the skies, thou ‘immortal spirit?’ And then one Divine jband was put esgainst the back of 'of Moses, and the other hand against the pulseless breast, and God laid him softly down on Mount Nebo, and then the law- giver, lifted in the Almighty’s arms, was carried to the opening of a cave and placed in acrypt, and one stroke of the Divine hand smoothed the features into an ever- lasting calm, and a rock was rolled to the door, and the only obsequies at which God did all the offices of priest and undertaker and gravedigger and mourner, were ended.
Oh, was not Miriam, the sister of Moses,
doing a good thing, 2 important thing, a glorious thing when she watched. the boat woven of river plants and made water-tight with asphaltum, carrying its one passenger! Did she not put all the ages of time and of a coming eternity under obligation, when she defended her helpless brother from the perils acquatic, reptilian and ravenous? She it was that brought that wonderful babe and his mother together so that he was reared to be the deliverer of his nation, when otherwise, if saved at all from the rushes of the Nile, he would have been only one more of the God-defying Pharaohs; for Princess Thermutis, of the bathing houre, would have inherited the crown of Egypt, and as she had no child of her own this adopted child would have come to corona- tion. Had there been no Miriam there would have been no Moses. What a gar- land for faithful sisterhood! For how many a lawgiver, and how many a hero, and how many a deliverer and how many a saint are the world and the church indebted toa watchful, loving, faithful, godly sister ? Come up out of the farmhouses, come up out of the inconspicuous homes! Come up from the banks of the Hudson and the Penobscot, and the Savannah and the Mobile, and the Mississippi and all the other Niles of America, and let us see you, the ) iraims who watched and protect- ed the leaders in law and medicine and merchandise and art and agriculture and mechanics and religion! If I should ask all these physicians and attorneys and merchantsand ministers of religion and successful men of all professions and trades who are indebted to an older sister for good influences and perhaps for an education or @ prosperous start, or rise, they would rise by the hundreds. God knows how many of our Greek lexicons and how much of our schooling was paid for by money that would otherwise have gone for the re- plenishing of a sister’s wardrobe. While the brother sailed off for a resounding sphere the sister watched him from the banks of self-denial. Miriam was the oldest of the family, Moses and Aaron, her brothers and young- er. Oh, the power of the oldest sister to help decide the brother’s character for use- fulness and for Heaven. She can keep off from her brother more evils than Miriam could have driven back waterfowl or croco- dile from the ark of bulrushes. The elder sister decides the direction in which the cradle boat shall sail. By gentleness, by good sense, by Christian principle, she can turn it toward the palace, not of a wicked Pharaoh, but of a holy God; and a brighter Princess than Thermutis shall lift him out of peril, even Religion, whose ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. The older sister, how much the world owes her! Born while yet the family was in limited circumstances, she had to hold and take care of her younger brothers, and if there is anything that excites my sympathy it is a littl» girl lagging around a great fat child, and getting her ears boxec because she cannot keep him quiet. By the time she gets to young womanhvod she is pale and worn out, and her attractiveness has been sacrificed on the aitar of sisterly fidelity, and she is consigaed to celibacy, and society calls her by an ungal- lant name, but in Heaven they call her Miriam. In most families the two most undesirable places in the record of births are the first and the last ; the first, because she is worn out with the cares of a home that cannot afford to hire help, and the last because she is spoiled as a pet. Among the grandest equipages that sweep through the streets of Heaven will be those occu ied by sisters who sacrificed themselves for bro- thers. They will have the finest of the Apocalypt’: white horses, and many who on earth looked down upon them will have to turn out to let them pass.
Let sisters not begrudge the time and care bestowed on a brother. It is hard to believe that any boy that you know so well as your brother can ever turn out anything very useful, Well, he may not bea Moses. There is only one of that kind needed for six thousand years. But I tell you what your brother will be—either a bless- ing or acurse to society and a candidate for happiness or wretchedness. He will, like Moses, have the choice between rubics and living coals and your influence will have much to do with his decision. He may not, like Moses, be the deliverer of a nation, but he may, after your father and mother are gone, be the deliverer of a household. What thousands of homes are to-day pilot- ed by brothers! There are propertiez now well invested and yielding incomes for tue support of sisters and younger brothers, be- cause the older brother rose to the leader- ship from the day the father laid down to die. Whatever you do for your brother will eome back to you agai:. If you set him an ill-natured, censorious, unaccomm:- dating example, it will recoil upon you from his own irritated and despoiled nature- If you, by patience with all his infirmities and by nobility of character, dwell with him, in the few years of your companion- ship, you will have your counseis refi -cted

abilty. Don’t talk discouragingly about his future, Don’t let Miriam get down off the bank of the Nile and wade ont and up- set the ark of bulrushes. Don’t tease him. Brothers and sisters do not consider it avy- harm to tease. That spirit abroad in the family is one of the meanest and most devilish. There is a teasing that is pleasurable and is only another form of innocent raillery, but that which provokes
and irritates and makes the eye flush with anger is to be reprehended. It would be less blameworthy to take a bunch of thorns and draw them across your sister's cheek, or to take a knife and draw its sharp edge across your brother's hand iill the blood spurts,for that would damage only the body, but teasing is the thorn and the knife scratching and lacerating the disposition and the soul. Itis the curse of innumer- able households that the brothers tease the sisters and the sisters the brothers. Some- times it is the color of the hair, or the shape of the features, or an affair of the heart. Sometimes it is by revealing a secret, or by a suggestive look, ora guffaw, or an ‘ahem!’ Tease! Tease! Tease! For God’s sake quit it. Christ says, ‘He that bateth his brother is a murderer.’ Now, when you, by teasing, make your brother
or sister hate, you turn him or her into a murderer or murderess.
Don’t let jealousy ever touch a sister's soul, as it so often does, because her brother gejs more honor or more means.
Even Miriam the heroine of the text was struck by that evil passion of jealousy.
She had possessed unlimited influence ever Moses, and now he marries, and not only so but marries a black woman from Hthi- opia, and Miriam is so disgusted and out-
raged at Moses, first because he had married at all, and next, because he had practiced miscegeneration, that she is drawn into a frenzy and then begins to turn white, and gets white as a corpse, and then whiter than a corpse. Her complexion is like chalk ; the fact is she has Egyptian leprosy. And now the brother whom she had defended on the Nile comes to her rescue, in a prayer that brings her restoration. Let there be
no room in all your house for jealousy
either to sit or stand. It is a leprous abomination: Your brother's success, O sisters, is your success. His victories will
be your victories. For, while Moses the
brother led the vocal music after the cross-
ing of the Red Sea, Miriam the sister, with
two glittering sheets of brass vplifted and
glittering in the sun, led the instrumental
music, clapping the cymbals till the last frighted neigh of pursuing cavalry horse
was smothered in the wave, and the last Egyptian helmet went under.
How strong it meskes a family when all the sisters and brothers stand together, and what an awful wreck when they disinte- grate, quarreling about a father’s will, and meking the Sarrogate’s office hor:ible with their wrangle. Better when you were little children in the nursery, that, with your playhouse mallets, you had accidentally killed each other fighting across your cradle, than that having come to the age of matur- ity, aud having in your veins and arteries the blood of the same father and mother, you fight each other across the parental grave in the cemetery.
lf you only knew it, your interests are identical, Ojall the families of the earth that ever stood together, perhaps the most conspicuous is the family of the Roths- childs. As Mayer Anselm Rothschild was about to die in 1612, he gathered his chil- dren about him, Anselm, Solomon, Nathan, Charles and James, and made them pro- mise that they would always be united on ‘Change. Obeying that injunction they have been the mightiest commercial power on earth, and at the raising or lowering of their sceptre nations have risen or fallen. That illustrates how much, on a large scale and for selfish purposes, a united family may achieve. But suppose that instead of a magnitude of dollars as the object, it be doing good and making salutary impression and raising this sunken world, how much more ennobling ! Sister, you do your part, and brother will do his part. If Miriam willlovingly watch the boat on the Nile, Moses will help her when leprous disasters sircke.
When father and mother are gone, and they soon will be if they have not already made exit, the sisterly and fraternal bond will be the only ligament that will hold the family together. How many reasons for your deep and unfaltering affection for each other! Rocked in the same cradle ; bent over by the same motherly tenderness; toiled for by the same father’s weary arm and aching brow; with common inherit- ance of all the family secrets; and with names given you by parents who started you with the highest hopes for your happi- ness and prosperity,—I charge yon, be loving and kind and forgiving. If the sister see that the brother never wants a
‘sympathizer, the brother will see that the
sister never wants an escort. Oh, if the sisters cf a household knew through what terrific and damning temptations there brother goesin this city life, they would hardly sleep nights in the anxiety for his salvation! And if you would make a holy conspiracy of kind words and gentle atten- tions and t prayers, that would save his soul from death and hide a multitude of sins. But let the sister dash off in one direction in discipleship of the world aud the brother flee off in another direction in diasipation, and it will not be long before they will meet again ut the iron gate of Despair, their blistered feet in the hot ashes of a consumed lifetime. Alas! that brothers and sisters, though living together for years, very often do not know each other and that they see on'y the imperfec- tions and none of the virtues.
