JAMES OD. TAYLOR, QUEEN SQUARE. Ch town, Feb. 23, '86. TABERNACLE SERMON “The Marriage Ring.” *‘ HOTEL AND BOARDING HOUSE LIFE VERSUS HOME LIFE.” a Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, preached last ‘ighth of hia series of sermons on ‘‘ The Marriage Ring,” Life.” Professor Henry Eyre Browne played ‘OQ Sanctissima,” by Lux. The whole congregation joined in singing the hymn: “Glory to God on high! Let heaven and earth reply: Praise ye his name?” Dr. Talmage expounded a chapter from the second book of Samuel about the ark deposited in the house of Obed-edom, about which Josephus says that the man was poor when the ark was left at his house and rich before it left. The preacher remarked that every house is rich which bas init the sacred chest of the Divine presence. The text was Luke x, 34 and 3d: ‘‘ And brought him toan inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he de- parted, he took out two pence, and pave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.” Following is the sermon in fall. This is the good Samaritan paying the hotel bill of a man who had been robbed and almost killed by bandits. The good Samari(an had found the unfortunate on @ lonely, rocky road, where to this very day depredations are some- times committed upon traveilers, and had put the injured man into the saddle, while the merciful and well-to-do man had walked, till they got to the hotel and the wounded man was put to bed and cared for. it must have been a very superior hotel in its accommodations, for, though in the country, the landloed was paid at the rate of what in our country would be four or five dollars a day, a penny being thena day’s wages and the two pennies paid in this about two day’s wages. Moreover, it was one of those kind-hearted landlords who are wrapped up in the happi- ness of their guests, because the good Samaritan loaves the poor wounded fellow to his entire care, promising that when he came that way agair he would pay all the bills until the invalid got well. Hote!s and bearding-houses are necessi- ties. In very ancient times they were un- known, because the world had comparative- ly few inhabitants, who were not much givén to travel, and private hospitality moet all the wants of sojourners; as when Abra- ham rushed out at Mamre to invite the three men to.eit down to adinner of veal; as when Lydia urged the Apostles to accept of her home; as when the people were positively commanded to be given to hospitality; a3 in many of the places in the East these ancient customs are practiced to- day. But we have now hotels presided over by good landlords, and boarding honses presided over by excellent hoat or hostess, in all neighborhoods, villages and cities, and it is our congratulation that those of our land surpass all other lands. They rightly become the permanent resid- ences of many people, such as those who are without families, such as those whose business keeps them miyratory,such as those who ought sot, for various reasons of health or peculiarity of circumstances, to take upon themselves the cares of housekeeping. Many a man falling sick in one of these boarding houses or hotels has been kindly watched and nursed; and by the memory of her own sufferings and losses the lady at the head of auch a house has done all that a mother could do fora sick child, and the slumber- less eye of God sees and appreciates her gacrifices in behalf of the stranger. Among the most marvellous cases of patience and Christian fidelity are many of those who keep boarding houses, enduring without resentment the unreasonable demands of their guests forexpensive food and atten- tions for which they are not willing to pay an equivalent—a lot of cranky men and women who are not worthy to tie the shoe of their queenly caterer. The outrageous way in which boarders sometimes act to their landlords and landladies show that those critical guests had bad early rearing, and that in the making up of their natures all that constitutes the gentleman and lady were left ont. Some of the most princely men and some of the most elegant women that I know of to-day keep hotels and boariing houses, But one of the great evils of this day is found in the fact that a large population of our towns and cities are giving up aud have given up their homes and taken apart- ments, that they may have more freedom from domestic duties and more time for social life, and because they like the whirl of publicity better than the quiet and pri- vacy of a residence they call their own. The lawful use of these hotels and boarding houses is for most peopie while they are in transitu, but as a terminus they are in many cases a demoralization, utter and complete. That is the point at which fami- lies innumerable have begun to disinte- grate. There never has been a time when so many families, healthy and abundantly able to support and direct homes of their own, have struck tent and _ taken permanent abode in_ these _ public establishments. It is an evil wide as Christendom, and by voice and through the newspaper press, I utter warning and burning protest, and ask Almighty God to bless the word, whether |in the hearing or reading. In these public caravansaries, the demon of gossip is apt to getfull sway. All the boarders run daily the gauntlet of general inspection—how they look when they come down in the morning and when they get in at night, end what they do for a living, and who they receive as guests in their rooms, wear, and how they eat and what they eat, and how much they eat and how little they Sunday in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the | the subject being ‘* Hotel ; BOSS. . ad aud Boarding House Life versus Home| They must find out about him right away. eat.

The |whole house goes into the detective busi- They must find out about him. If he leaves his door unlocked by accident he will find that his rooms have been in- spected, his trunk explored, his letters folded differently from the way they were folded when he put them away. Who is he? is the question, asked with intenser interest until the subject has become a monomania. The simple fact is, that he is! nobody in particular, but minds his own business. The best landlords and _land- ladies cannot sometimes hinder their places from becoming a pandemonium of whisper- ers, and reputations are torn to tatters, and evil suspicions are aroused, and scandals started, and the parliament of the house is blown to atoms by some Guy Fawkes, who was not caught in time, as was his English predecessor of gunpowdery reputation, The reason is that while in private;shomes families have so much to keep them busy, in these promiscuous and multiludinous residences there are so many who have nothing to do, and that always makes mis- chief. They yather in each other's rooms and spend hours in consultation about others. If they had to walk a balf mile before they got to the willing ear of some listener to detraction, they would get out of breath before reaching there, and not feel in full glow of animosity or slander, or might, because of the distance, not go at all. But rooms, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25, are on the same corridor, and when one carrion crow goes ‘‘ Caw! Caw!” all the other crows hear it and flock together over the same carcass. ‘‘Oh, [ have heard something rich! Sit down and let me tell you all about it.” And the first guffaw increases the gathering, and it has to be told all over again, and as they separate each carries a spark from the altar of gab to some other circle, until from the coal heaver in the cellar to the maid in the top room of the garret, all are aware of the defamation, and that evening all who leave the house wiil bear it to other houses, until autumnal fires sweeping across Illinois prairies are less raging and swift than that flame of consuming reputation blazing across the village or city. Those of us whe were brought up in the country know that the old-fashioned’ hatching of eggs in the hay mow required four or five weeks of brooding, bat there are now modes of Perhaps he has| VOL. 18---NO, 88 four walls enclosing one family with identity of interest,and a privacy from out- side inspection so complete that it isa world in itself, no one entering except by permission; bolted and barred and chained against all outside inquisitiveness. The phrase so often used in law books and legal circles is mightily suggestive—every man’s house is his castle. As much so as though it had drawbridge, portcullis, redoubt, bastion and armed turret. Even the officer of the law may not enter to serve a writ except the door be voluntarily opened unto him; burglary, or the invasion of it, a crime 80 offensive that the law clashes its iron jaws on any one who attempts it. Unless it be necessary to stay for longer or shorter time in family hotel or boarding house—and there are thousands of instances in which it is necessary, as I showed you at the beginning—unless in this unex- ceptional case, let neither wife nor husband consent to such permanent residence. The probability is that the wife will have to divide her husband’s time with public smoking or reading room, or with some coquettish spider in search of unwary flies, and if youdo not entirely lose your husband it will be because he is Divinely protected from the disasters that have whelmed thousands of husbands with as good intentions as yours. Neither should the husband, without imperative reason, consent to such a life unless he is sure his wife can withstand the temptation of social dissipation which sweeps across such places with the force of the Atlantic Ocean when driven by a September equinox. Many wives give up their homes for these public residences so that they may give their eutire time to operas, theatres, balls, re- ceptions and levees, and they are in a per- petual whirl like a whip top spinning round and round, very prettily natil it loses its equipoise and shoots off into a tangent. Bat the difference is, in one cage it is a top and in the other a soul. Beside this there is an assidious accumu- lation of little things around the private home which in the aggregate make a great attraction, while the denizen of one of these public residences is apt to say ; ‘‘What is the use? I have no place to keep them if I should take them.’’ Mementnes, bric-a- brac, curiosities, quaint? chair or cosy lounge, upholsteries, pictures and a thous- and things that accrete in a home are dis- carded or neglected because there is no homestead in which to arrange them. And yet they are the case in which the pearl of domestic happiness is set. You can never become as attached to the appointments of a boarding house or family hotel as to these things that you can cali your own and are associated with the different mem- bers of your household, or with scenes of hatching by machinery, which takes less time and do the work in wholesale. So, while the private home may brood into life an occasional falsity and take a long time to do it, many of the boarding houses and family hotels afford a swifter and more multitudinous style of moral incubation, and one old gossip will! get off the nest after one hour’s brooding clucking a flock of thirty lies after her, each one picking up its little worm of juicy regalement. It is no advantage to hear too much about your neighbors, for your time will be so much occupied in taking care of their faults that you will have no time to look after your own. And while you are pulling the chick- weed out of their garden yours will get all overgrown with horse-sorrel and mullen stalks. One of the worst damages that comes from the herding of so many people into boarding houses and family hotels, is inflicted upon chiidren. It is only another way of bringing them up on the co umons, While you have your own private house you can for the most part control their com- panionship and their whereabouts, but by twelve years of age in these public resorts, they will have picked up all the bad things that can be furnished by the prurient minds of dozeusof people. They will over- hear blasphemies, and see quarrels, and get precocious in sin, and what the bar- tender does not tell them the porter or hostler or bell-boy will. Besides that, the children will go ont into this world without the restraining, anchoring, steady- ing and all controlling memvury of a home. From that none of us who have been blessed of such memory have escaped. It grips a man for eighty years, if he lives so long. It pulls him back from doors into which he otherwise would enter. It smites him with contrition in the very midst of his dissipations. As the fish already sur- rounded by the long wide net swim out to sea thinking they can go as far as they please, and with gay toss of silvery scale they defy the sportsman on the beach, and after a while the fishermen begin to draw in the net, hand over hand and band over hand, and it is a long while before the captured fina begin to feel the net, and then they dart this way and that hoping to get out, but find themselves approaching the shore and are brought up to the very feet of the captors, so the memory of an early home sometimes seoms to relax and let men out further and farther from God and further and further from above—five years, ten years, thirty years; but some day they find an irresistible mesh drawing them back, and they are compeiled to retreat from their prodigality and wandering, and though they make desperate effort to escape the impreesion, and try to dive deeper down in sin, after a while are brought clear back aud held upon the Rock of Ages. If it be possible, O father and mother! let your sons and daughters go out into the world under the semi-omnipotent memory of a good, pure home. About your two or three rooms in a boarding house or a family hotel, you can cast no such glorious sanctity. They will think of these public caravansaries as an early stopping place, malodorous with old victuals, coffees per- petually steaming and meats in everlasting and what they wear and what they do not| stew or broil, the air surcharged with iearbonic acid, and corridors along which \drunken boarders come staggering at one \o’clock in the morning, rapping at the door till the affrighted wife lets them in. Do thrilling import in your domestic history. Blessed is that home in which for a whole life time they have been gathering, until every figure in the carpet, and every panel of the door, and every casement of the win- dow has a chirography of its own, speaking out something about father or mother or sua or daughter, or friend that was with us awhile, What a sacred place it becomes when one can say : ‘‘In that room such a one was born; in that bed such a one died; in that chair I sat on the night I heard such a one had received a great public honor; by that stool my child knelt for her last evening prayer ; here I sat to greet my son as he came back from sea voyage; that was father’s cane; that was mother's rocking chair. What a joyful and path- etic congress of reminiscences ! The public residence of hotel and board- ing house abolishes the grace cf hospitality. Your guest does not want to come to such a table. No one wants to run such a gauntlet of acute and merciless hyper- criticism. Unless you have a home of your own you will not be able to exercise the best rewarded of all the graces. For exercise of this grace what blessing came to the Shunammite in the restoration of her son to life because she entertained Elisha, and to the widow of Zarephath in the perpetual oil well of the miraculous cruise because she fed a hangry prophet, and to Rahab in the preservation of her life at the demolition of Jericho because she ontertained the spies, and to Laban in the formation of an _ interesting family relation because of his entertain- ment of Jacob, and to Lot in his rescue from the destroyed city because of his entertainment of the angels, and to Mary and Martha and Zaccheus in spiri- tual blessing because they entertained Christ, and to Publius in the island of Melita in the healing of his father because of the entertainment of Paul, drenched from the shipwreck, and of innumerable houses throughout Christendom upon which have come blessings from generation to generation because their doors swung easily open in the enlarging, ennobling, irradiating and divine grace of hospitality. I do rot know what your experience has been, but I have had men and women visiting at my house who left a benediction on every room—in the blessing they asked at the table, in the prayer they offered at the family altar, in the good advice they gave the children, in the gospelization that looked out from every linaement of their countenances ; and their departure was the sword of bereavement. The Queen of Norway, Sweden and Den- mark had a royal cup of ten curves or lips, each one having on it the name of the distinguished person who had drank from it. And that cup which we offer to others in Christian hospitality,thongh it be of the plainest earthenware, is a royal cup, and God can read on all its sides the names of those who have taken from it refreshment. But all this is impossible unless you have a home of yourown. It is the delusion as to what is necessary forahome that hin- ders so many from establishing one. Thirty rooms are not necessary, nor twenty, [nor fifteen, nor ten, nor five, nor three, In the right way planta table, and couch, and kaife and fork, and acup and a chair, aud you can raisea young paradise, Just starta home, on however sinall a scale, and it will grow.
