HUSBANDS To SUNDAY
‘SHUTIES OF TALMAGE’S SERMON
Brooxtyy, N. Y., February 7.—- The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., preached to-day in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the fifth of his series of sermons on ‘‘The Marriage Ring,” the subject being ‘‘Duties of Husbands to Wives.” Before the sermon he explained the twenty-third chapter of Genesis, concerning Abraham’s admiration for Sarah, her age the only woman’s age mentioned in the Bible, implying that in- quisitiveness on that subject isjan imperti- nence. The hymn sung was:
“Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love.”
To-day was moving day in the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Once a year the pews are rented, and while mapy retain their old seats there are many changes seen to-day. At the annual rental Dr. Tucker paid $7.60 for first choice of a pew, making his rent come to about nine hundred doliars ; Mr. Everett paid $525 for the second choice of a pew, making his rent about seven hundred dollars. ‘The premiums and rentals were larger this year than ever before, and the income will be about thirty- one thousand dollars. Ali the pews in the galleries except the four front rows, are free, 8» that the church is conducted on the two plans, the free and the rented, aud no man can say he cannot attend because he has not the means.
The text of the sermon was from Genesis xxiv, 63: ‘‘And Isaac went out to medi- tate in the field at the eventide; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.” Following is the sermon in full :
A bridal pageant on the back of drome- daries! The camel is called the ship of the desert. Its swinging motion in the distance is suggestive of a vessel rising and falling with the billows. Though awk- ward, how imposing these creatures as they move along, whether in ancient or njiodern times, sometimes carrying four hundred or feur thousand travellers from Bagdad to Aleppo, or from Bassorr to Dam- ascus. In my text comes a caravan. We notice the noiseless atep of the broad foot, the velocity of motion, the gay caparison of saddle and girth and awning, sheltering the riders from the sun ; and the hilarity of the mounted passengers and we cry out, ‘“‘Who are they?’ Well, Isaac has been praying for a wife, and it is time he had one, for he is forty years of age ; and his servant, directed by the Lord, has made a selection of Rebekah ; and with her com- panions and maidenr, she is on her way to her new home, carrying with her the bless- ing of all her friends. Isaac is in the fields meditating upon his proposed passage from celibacy to monogamy. And he sees a speck against the sky, then groups of peo- ple, and after a while, he finds that the grandest earthly blessing that ever comes toa man is approaching with this gay cara- van. The drivers cry ‘‘Kneel’ to the camels, and they kneel, and putting foot on the neck of the stooping beast the bride dismounts and greets the man who was as worthy of her es she was worthy of him. ‘“‘And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide ; and he lifted up his eyes, and he saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.”
In this fifth discourse on ‘‘The Marriage
ting,” having spoken of the choice of a lifetime companion, I take it for granted, O man, that your marriage was Divinely ar- ranged, and that the camels have arrived from the right direction, end at the right time, bringing the one that was intended for your consort, a Rebekah and not a Jeze- bel. I proceed to discoursed as to how you ought to treat your wife, and my ambition is to tell you more plain trnth than you ever heard in any three-quarters of an hour in all your life.
First of all, I charge you, realize your re- sponsibility in having takeu her from the custody and care and homestead in which she was once sheltered. What courage you must have had, and what confidence in yourself to say to her practically: ‘I will be to you more than your father and mother, more than all the friends you ever had or ever can have. Give up everything and take me. I feel competent to see you through life in safety. You are an im- mortal being, but I am competent to defend you and make you happy. However bright and comfortable a hume you have now, and though in one of the rooms is the arm chair in which you rocked, andin the garret is the cradle in which you were hushed and the trundle-bed in which you slept, and in the sitting room are the father and mother who have got wrinkle-faced and stoop- shouldered and dim-eyesighted in taking care of you, yet you will do better to come with me.” Iam amazed that any of us ever had the sublimity of impudence to ask such a transfer from a home assured to a home conjectured and unbuilt.
You would think me avery daring and hazardous adventurer if I should go down to one ef the piers on the North River, and at atime when there was a great lack of ship captains, and [ should, with no know- ledge of navigation, propose to take a steam- er across to Glasgow or Havre, and say, ‘* All aboard! Haul in the planks and swing out !” and passing out into the sea plunge through darkness andstorm. If I succeeded in getting charge of one, that would be the ship that would never be heard of. But thatis the boldness of every man that proffers marriage. He says: ‘‘ I will navigate you through the storms, the cyclones, the fogs of a lifetime. [ will run clear of fogs and icebergs. I have no ex- perience and I have no seaport, but all aboard for the voyage of @ lifetime! admit that there have been ten thousand

Srxcie Corizs Two CENnts.
VOL. 18---NO. 70,
My arm is weak, but I will depend on the strength of yours. [ don’t know much of the world, but I rely on your wisdom. I put my body, my mind, my soul, my time, my eternity, in your keeping. I make nto reserve. Even my name I resign and take yours, though mine is a name that suggests all that was honorable in my father, and all that was good in my mother, and all that was pleasant in my brothers and sisters,’ I start with you on a journey which shail not part except at the edge of your grave or
mine. Ruth, the Moabitess, made no more thorough self-abnegation than I
make, when I take her tremendous words, the pathos of which many centuries have not cooled : ‘ Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest will I die, and there will T be buried. The Lord dose te me and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.’ Side by side in life. Side by side in the burying ground. Side by side in heaven. Before God and man, and with my immortal soul in the oath, I swear eter- nal fidelity.”
Now, my brother, how ought you to treat her? Unless you are an ingrate in- finite you will treat her well. You will treat her better than anyone in the uni- verse except your God. Her name will heve init more music than in all that Chopin or Bach or Rheinberger composed. Her eyes, swollen with three weeks of night watching over achild with scarlet fever, will be to you beautiful as a may morning. After the last rose petal has dropped out of her cheek, after the last feather of tho raven’s wing has fallen from her hair, after across her forehead and under her eyes and across her face there are as raany wrinkles as there are graves over which she has wept, you will be able truthfully to say, in the words of Solomon’s Song: “* Behoid, thou art fair, my ijove] Behold thon art fair!” And perhaps she may respond appropriately, in the words that no one but the matchless Robert Burns could ever have found pen or ink or heart or brain to write :—
“John Anderson, my jo, John,
We clamb the hill thegither ;
And mony a canty day, John, We've had wi’ ave anither,
Now we maun totter down, John, But hand in hand we'll go;
And sleep thegither at the foot, John Anderson, my jo.”
If anyone assail her good name you will have hard work to control your temper, and if you should strike him down the sin will not be unpardonable, By as complete asurrender asthe universe ever saw, ex- cept that of the Son of God for your salva- tion and mine, she has a first mortgage on your body, mind and soul, and the mort- gage is foreclosed, and you do not more thoroughly own your two eyes or your two hands than she owns you. The longer the journey Rebekah makes and the greater the risks of her expedition on the back of the camels, the more {thoroughly is Isaac bound to be kind and indulgent and worthy.
Now, be honest and pay your debts. You promised to make her happy. Are you making her happy? You are an honest man in other things, and feel the import- ance of keeping a contract. If you have induced her into a conjugal partnership under certain pledges of kindness and valu- able attentions, and then have failed to fulfil your word, you deserve to have a suit brought against you for getting goods under false pretences, and then you ought to be mulected in a large amount of damages, Review now all the fine, beantiful, compli- mentary, gracious and glorious things you promised her before marriage, and reflect whether you have kept your faith. Do you say, ‘‘ Oh, that was all sentimentalism and romance and a joke,” and that “ they all talk that way.”
Well, let that plan be tried on yourself ! Suppose I am interested in Western lands, and I fill your mind with roseate specula- tion, and I tell you that acity is already laid out on the farm that 1 propose to sell you, and that a new railroad will run close by and have a depot for easy transportation of the crops, and that eight or teh capital- ists are going to put up fine residences close by, and that the climate is delicious, and that the ground, high up, gives tio room for malaria, and that every dollar planted will grow up inio a bush bearing ten or twenty dollars, and my speech glows with enthusiasm until you rush off with me to au attorney to have the deed drawn, and the money paid down, and the bargain completed. You can-hardly sleep nights because of the El Dorado, the Elysium, upon which you are soon to enter, You give up your home at the East, you bid good bye to your old neigh- bors and take the train, and after many days’ journey you arrive at a quiet depot from which you take a wagon thirty miles through the wilderness, and reach your new place. You see @ man seated oa a wet log in 2 swamp and shaking with the fifteenth attack of chills and fever, and ask him who he is. He says: “Lam a real estate azent, having in charge the property around here,” You ask him where the new depot is. He tells you that it has not yet been built, but no doubt will be if the company get their bill for the
track through the next Legislature. You ask him where the new city is laid out. He
says with chattering teeth: ‘If you will wait till this chill is off, I will show it to you on the map I have in my pocket.” You ask him where the capitalists are going to build their fine houses, and he says: ‘Somewhere along those lowlands out there by those woods, when the water has been drained off.” That night you sleep im the hut of the real estate agent, and though you pray for everybody else you do not
