The Jfc-v. T. Do Witt Talmae, 1). IX,
preached on tho subject, "Defence of
Vouii Meii," and took his tt-xt from II
.Kings vi, 17: "And tho Lord ojcn-d the
eyes of tli? young inai." lie said:
One morning in Dothan a youn thi-o-logical
htmlcnt was karcd by finding
himself and Eli.siiu, tlio prophet, upon
whuni ho waited, Burroundcd hy a whulo
army of em-mies. But vencrablo Eli. ha
w;i not wan d at all, lfcuu.se he Haw tho
mountains full of difVn.se for liim, in
chariots inado out of lire, wheels of tire,
dashboard of lire, and cushions of lire,
drawn by boracs with nostrils of fire, and
mano of lire, ami haiinch.s of fire, and
hoofd of lire a 8Uiernatural appearance
that could not U; seen with the natural
eye. So the old minister prayed that the
joung minister might them also, and
tho prayer was answered, and the lord
opened tlio eye of the young man and ho
also taw tlie fiery procession, looking
f-ninewhat, I stinpoHe. liki tho Adiron-
dacks or the AUeghjuiies in this autumnal
resplendence.
Many young men. standing among tho
most tremendous realities, have their eyes
half t hut or entirely closed. May God
grant that my sermon may open wide
jour eyes to your t afety, our opjioi tu
nity and your destiny.
A mighty defense for a young man U
a good home. Some of my heareiH look
back with tender satisfaction to their
early home. It may have been r.udo and
rustic, hidden among tho hills, and archi
tect or uphoMerer never planned or
adorned it. But all the fresco on princely
walls never looked so enticing to you as
thor.y rou;jh huwn rafters. You can
think of no park or arbor of treea planted
on fashionable country seat eo attractive
as tho plain brook that ran in front of tho
ft old farm house ard sa:ig under the weep-
ing willows. No harred gateway, adorned
with etatue of troiizo, and Kvui;g open
by obsequious j-orter in full dresr has
lialf tho glory o the swing gate. Many
of you have a wcoiid dwelling place, your
adopted home, that also is sacred forever.
There you built tho first family altar.
Thero jour chi'divn were lorn. All
those trees you planted. That room is
solemn, lnvause once in it, over tho hot
pillow, Happed the wing of death. Under
that roof you exjnict when your work is
done to lie down and die. You try with
many words to tell the excellency of tho
place, but you fail. There is only ono
word in the language that can describe
your meaning. It is home-.
Now, I declaro it, that young man i.i
comparatively safe who gees out into tho
f world with a charm like this upon him.
The memory of parental solicitude,
watching, planning and praying, will bo
to bira a shield and a shelter. I never
knew a man faithful both to his early
and adopted home, who at the same time
was given over to any gross form of dis
sipation or wickedness, lie who seeks
his enjoyment chiedy from outside asso
ciation, rather than from tho more quiet
and unpresuming pleasures of which I
Lave spoken, may be suspected to L on
the broad rxul to ruin. Absalom de
spised his father's house, and you know
his history of sin and his death of shame.
Jf you serin unnecessarily isolated from
your kindred and former associate's, is
there not some room that you can call
your own? Into it gather books, and
pictures, and a harp. Have a portrait
over tho mantel. Make ungodly mirth
stand back from the threshold. Conse
crate some Ppot with the knee of prayer.
I5y the memory of other days, a father's
counsel, and a mother's love, and a sis
ter's confidence, call it home.
Another defense for a young man is
industrious habit. Many young men, in
starting upon life in this age, except to
make their way through the world by the
use of their wits rather than tho toil of
their hands. A child now goes to the city
and fails twice before he is as old as his
father was when he first saw the spires
of the great town. Sitting in some olllce.
rented at 1.000 a year, he is waiting for
tlie bank to declaro its divnlend, or yoe3
into the market expecting before night to
be made rich by the rushing up of tho
stocks. But luck seemed so dull he re
1 solved on some other tack. Perhaps ho
borrowed from his employer's money
drawer, and forgets to put it back, or for
merely the purpose of improving his pen
manship mukea a cepyplate of a mer
chant's signature. Never mind, all is
right in trade. In some dark night thero
may come in his dreams a vision of Black
well's Island or of Sing Sing, but it soon
vanishes. In a short time he will be
ready to retire from the busy world, and
amid his flocks and herds culture the do
mestic virtues. Theu those young men
who once were his schoolmates, and knew
no Letter than to engage in honest work,
will come wkh their ox teams to draw
him logs, and with their hard hands help
heave up his castle. This is no fancy
picture. It is every day life. I should
not wonder if there were some rotten
beams in that beautiful palace. I should
not wonder if dire sicknesses should smite
through the young man, or if God should
pour into his cup yf life a draught that
would thrill him with unbearable agony.
I should r.ot wonder if his children should
become to lam a living curse, making his
home a jest and a disgrace. I should not
wonder if he goes to a miserable grave,
and beyond it into the gnashing of teeth.
Tho way of the ungodly shall perish.
My young friends, there is no way to
genuine success, except through toil
either of the head or hand. At the battle
of Crecy, in 1C1G, the Prince of Wales,
finding himself heavily pressed by the
enemy, sent word to his father for help.
The father, watching tlio battle from a
windmill, and seeing that Lis son was not
wounded and could gain the day if .he
would, sent word: "No, I will not come.
Let the boy win his spurs, for if God
will I desire that this day be his with all
its honors. ' Young'man, fight your own
battlo all through, and you shall have the
victory. Oh, it in a battlo worth fight
ing. Two monarchsof old fought a duel,
Charlcii V and Francis, and tho stakes
were kingdoms, Milan ami Burgundy.
You light with sin, and tho stake is
heaven or hell.
Do not g' t tho fatal idea that you are
a genius, and that therefore thero is no
need of close application. It is here
when; multitudes fail. Tho great curse
of this ago is the geniuses, men with
enormous self conceit and egotism, and
nothing else. I had rather Ixi an ox than
an eagle; plain and plodding and useful,
rather than high flying ami good for
nothing but to pick oat the eyes of car
casses. F.-xtraordinary capacity without
use is extraordinary fail j re. There ij no
hope for that jerson who logins life re
solved to live by his wits, for the proba
bility is he h:w not any. It was not safe
for Adam, even in his unfalleii state, to
have nothing to do, and thereforo God
commanded him to le a farmer and hor
ticulturist. I le was to dress t he garden and
keep it, and had he and his wife obeyed
the divine injunction and been at work,
they would not have hen sauntering
under tho trees and hungering after that
fruit which destroyed them and their
posterity; proof positive, for all ages to
come that those who do not attend to
their business are sun; to get into mis
chief. I do not know that the prodigal
in Scripture would ever have 1-cen re
claimed had ho not given up his idle
habits and gone to feeding swine for a
living. "Go to the ant, thou tlnggard,
consider Iht ways and be wise, which
having no overseer or guide provideth
her food in the summer and gatherth
her meat in the harvest." The devil does
not so often attack tho man who is busy
with the pen, and tho lxnjk, and tlio
trowel, S'.r.d the saw, and the hammer.
He is afraid of those weapons. But woo
to that in. in whom this roaring lion meets
with his hands in his ockets. Do not
demand that jour toil always be elegant
and cleanly and refined. There is a certain
amount of drudgery through which wo
must all p.iss, whatever lie our occupa
tion. You know how men are sentenced,
a certain number to years of prison, and
after they havo suffered and worked out
tho time, then they are allowed to go
free. And so it is with all of us. God
passed on us the sentence, "By the sweat
of thy brow shalt thou eat bread." We
must endure emr time of drudgery, and
then, after a while, we will be allowed
to go i?.to comparative liberty. Yvo must
lie willing to endure the sentence. AVe
all know what drudgery is connected
with the beginning of any trade or pro
fession, but this does not continue all
our lives, if it le tho student's, or the
merchant's, or the mechanic's life. I
know you have at the beginning many a
hard time, but after a while these things
will liecome easy. You will lie your own
master. God's sentence will Ik? satisfied.
You will be discharged from prison.
Bless God that you have a brain to think,
and hands to work, and feet to walk
with, for in your constant activity, O
j'oung man, is one of your strongest de
fenses. Put your trust in God and do
your level l est. That child had it right
when the horses ran away with the load
of wool ar.d he sat upon it. When asked
if ho was frightened, he eaid: "No, I
prayed to God and hung on like a
beaver."
Again, profound respect for tho Sab
bath wiil be to the young man a power
ful preservative against evil. God has
thrust into the toil and fatigue of life a
recreative day, when the soul i3 espe
cially to be fed. It is no new f angled no
tion of a wild brained reformer, but an
institution established at the beginning.
God has made natural and moral laws
so harmonious that the body as well as
ihe soul demands this institution. Our
bodies are seven day clocks, that must bo
wound up as often as that, or they wiil
run down. Failure must come sooner or
later to the man who breaks the Sabbath.
Inspiration has called it the Lord's day,
and he who devotes it to tho world is
guilty of robliory. God will not let the
sin go unpunished either in this world or
tho world to come. This is tho statement
of a men who had broken this divine en
actment: "I was engaged in manufacturing on
the Lehigh river. On tho Sabbath I used
to rest, but never regarded God in it.
One beautiful Sabbath, when the noisi
was all lushed, and the day was all that
loveliness could make it, I sat down on
my piazza and went to work inventing a
new shuttle. I neither stopped to cat
nor drink till the sun went down. By
that time 1 had the invention completed.
The next morning. I exhibited it, boasted
of my day's work, and was applauded.
The shuttle was tried and worked well,
but that Sablath day's work cost mo
$30,000. We branched out and en
larged, and the curse of heaven was upon
me from tliat day onward."
While the divine frown must rest upon
him who tramples upon this statute.
God's special favor will be upon tiiat
youug man who scrupulously observes it.
Tiiis day, properly observed, will tlirow
a hallowed imluence over all the week.
The sorikf, and sermon, and sanctuary
will hoi. 1 back from presumptuous scenes.
That young man who begins the duties of
life with e ither secret or opan disrespect
of the holy day. I venture to prophesy,
will meet with no prominent successes.
God's curse will fall upon, his thip. his
store, his oiTIce, his studio, his lody. and
hi3 sou!. Tho way of the wickexl he
turncth upside down. In one of the old
fables it was said that a wonderful child
was born in Bagdad, and a magician
could I -.ear his footsteps G.000 miles away.
But I can hear in the footsteps of that
young man, on his way to tho house of
worship this morning, 6tep not only of a
lifetime cf usefulness, but the coming
step of eternal joys of heavens yet mill
ions of miles away.
Again, a noble ideal ar.d confident ex
pectation of approximating to it, will in
fallibly advance. The artist completes ki
his mind the great thought that he wishes
to transfer to the canvas or the marble
before lie takes up tho crayon cr the
chisel. The architect plans out the en
tire structure before he orders the work
men to begin, and though there may for
a long time seem to be nothing but
blundering and rudeness he has in his
mind every Corinthian wreath and Gothic
arch and Byzantine capital. Tho poet
arranges the entire plot before he begin ;
to chime the first canto of tingling
rhythms. And yet, stranger to us, there
are men who attempt to build their char
acter without
end it bhall
knowing-whether in tho
lie a rude traitor's den
or a St. Mark's of
liegin to write tho
their lhes without
Yenice. Men who
intricato jocm of
knowing whether
it hhall lio
rhymester's
ninet v-nine
a Homer's Odyssey, or a
botch. Nine hundred and
men out of a thousand are
living without any great life plot.
1 Sooted, and spurred, and plumed, and
urging their swift courses in the hottest
haste. I come out and ask: "Lulkio,
man, whither away?" His resjionso is:
"Nowhere." Hush into thobiu-y shop or
store of many a one, and taking tho
plane out of a man's hand, and laying
down tho yard stick, say: "What, man,
is ;dl this about, so much stir and sweat?"
The reply will stumblo and break down
Utween teeth and litis. livery day's
duty ought only to Le the following up
of the main plan of existence. Let men
bo consistent. If they prefer misdeeds
to correct courses of action, then let them
draw out the design of knavery, and
cruelty, and plunder. Let every day's
faiseluxMl and wrong doing be added !i3
coloring to the picture. J.et bloody deeds
red stripe the canvas, and the clouds of a
wrathful God hang down heavily over
the canvas, ready to break out in clamor
ous tempest. lAt the waters be chafed,
a froth tangle and green with immeasur
able depths. Then take a torch of burn
ing pitch and scorch into the frame of
the picture tho right name for it;
namely, the Soul's Suicide. If ono
entering upon sinful directions would
oidy in his mind, or on pajier,
draw out in awful reality this
dreadful future, he would recoil from
it, and say: "Am I a Dante, that
by my own lifo I should writo another
Inferno?" But if you are resolved to live
a lifo such as God and good men will ap
prove, do not let it be a vague dream, an
indefinite determination, but in your mind
or upon pajier sketch it in all its minutiai.
You cannot know the changes to which
you may be subjected, but you may know
what always will 1x3 right and always
will be wrong. Let gentleness, and
charity, and veracity, and faith stand in
the heart of the sketch. On some et 111
brook's bank make a lamb and lion lie
down together. Draw two or three of
the trees of life, not frost 6trickcn, nor
ice glazed, nor wind stripped, but with
thick verdure waving like tho palms of
heaven. On the darkest cloud place tho
rainbow, that billow of the dying storm.
You need not burn the title on the frame.
Tho dullest will catch tlio design at a
glance, and say: "That is tho road to
heaven." Ah. me! On thi3 sea of life
what innumerable ships, heavily laden
and well rigged, yet some bound for an
other port. Swept every whither of wind
and wave, they go up by the mountaius.
they go down by the billows, and are at
their wits' end. They sail by no chart,
they watch no star, they long for no har
bor. 1 beg every young man today to
draw out a sketch of what, by tho grace
of God, he means to Le, though in excel
lence so high that you cannot reach it.
He who starts out in life with a high
ideal of character, and faith in its attain
ment, will find himself incased from a
thousand temptations.
There are magnificent possibilities be
fore each of you young men of the stout
heart, and the buoyant step, and the
bounding spirit. I would marshal you
for grand achievement. God now pro
vides for you the fleet, and tho armor,
and tho fortifications; who is on the
Lord's side? The captain of the zouaves
in ancient times, to encourage tliem
against tho immense odds on the side of
their enemies, said: "Come, my men,
look these fellows in the face. They are
G.O00, you are 300. Surely tho match
is even." That speech ga'o them the
victory. Be not, my hearer, dismayed
at any time by what seems an immense
odds p gainst you. Is fortune, is want of
education, are men, are devils against
you, though the multitudes of earth and
hell confront you, stand up to the charge.
With a miiiion against you, tho match is
just even. Nay, you have a decided ad
vantage. If God be for us, who can be
against us? Thus protected, you need
not 6pend much timo in answering your
assailants.
Many years ago word came to me that
two impostors, as temperance lecturers,
bad been speaking hi Ohio in various
places, and giving their experience, and
they told their audience that they had
long been intimate with mo, and had I -e-come
drunkards hy dining at my table,
where I always had liquors of all -sorts.
Indignant to tho last degree, I went down
to Patrick Campbell, chief of Brooklyn
police, saying I was going to start that
night for Oliio to have these villains ar
rested, and I wanted him to tell me how
to make the arrest. Ue smiled and said:
"Do not waste your time by chasing
these men; go home and do your work,
and they can do you no harm." I took
bis counsel and all was well. Long ago
I made up my ruind that if one wiil put
his trust in God and be faithful to duty,
he need not fear any evil. Have God on
your side, young man, and all tho com
bined forces of earth and hell can do you
no damage.
And this leads me to say that tho
mightiest of all defense for a young man
in tho possession cf thorough religious
principle. Nothing can take the place of
it. lie may have manners that would
put to shame the gracefulness and
com;tesy of a Lord Chesterfield. Foreign
languages may drop from liis tongue.
He may be able to eliscuss literatures, and
laws, and foreign customs. lie may
wield a pen of unequaled polish and
power. His quickness and tact may
qualify him for the highest salary of the
counting house. He may be as sharp as
Herod and as strong as Sampson, with as
fine locks as thoso which hung Absalom,
6till he is not safe from contam
ination. The more elegant his man
ner, and the morefascinating his dress,
the mere peril. Satan does not
care much for the allegiance of a
coward and illiterate being. lie can
bring hi:n into efficient service. But he
loves to storm that castle of character
which has in it the mott spoils anil
treasures. It was not some crazy craft
creeping along the coast with a valueless
cargo tiiat the pirate attacked, but the
ship, full winged and flagged, plying be
tween great ports, carrying its million of
specie. The more your natural and
acquired accomplishments, the more
neel of the religion of Jesus. That does
not cut in upon or hack up any smooth
ness of disposition or behavior. It gives
symmetry. It arrests that in the
soul which ought to be ar-
! rested, and propels that wluch ought
to lie propelled. It filla up tho gullevs.
It elevates and transforms. To beauty it
gives more lieauty, to tact more tact, to
enthusiasm of nature more enthusiasm.
When tho Holy Spirit impresses tho im
age of God on the heart, he does not
spoil tlio canvas. If, in all the multi
tudes of young men upon whom religion
has acted, you could find one nature that
had been the least damaged, I would
yield this presition. You may now
havo enough strength of character lo
repel tho various temptations to gross
wickedness which assail you. but 1 do
not know in what strait you may lie
thrust at some future time. Nothing
short of the grace of the cross may then
bo able to deliver you from tho lions.
lou are not meeker tiian JUoses, nor
holier tlian David, nor moro patient than
Job, and you ought not to consider your
self invulnerable. You may havo some
weak point of character that you havo
never eliscovcred, and in 6ome hour when
you are assaulted tho Philistines will 1-e
ujxm thee, Samson. Trust not in your
good habits, or your early training, or
your pride of character; nothing short
of the arm of almighty God will lie suffi
cient to uphold you. You look forward
to tho world sometimes with a chilling
despondency. Cheer up! I will tell yeiu
how all may mako a fortune. "Seek first
the kingdom of God and his righteous
ness and all other things will be added
unto you." I know you do not want to
lie mean in this matter. Give God tho
freshness of your life. You will not havo
the heart to drink down the brimming
cup of life and then pour the dregs on
God's altar. To a Saviour so infinitely
generous you have not tho heart to act
like that. That is not brave, that is not
honorable, that is not manly. Your great
est want in all the world is a new heart. In
God's name I tell you that. And the
Blessed Spirit presses through the so
lemnities and privileges of this holy hour.
Put the cup of life eternal to your thirsty
lips. Thrust it not back. Mercy offers
it, bleeding mercy, long suffering mercy.
Heject all other friendships, be ungrate
ful for all other kindness, prove recreant
to all other bargains, but despise God's
love for your immortal soul don't you
do that.
I would like to see some' of you this
hour press out of the ranks of the world
and lay your concjuered spirit at the feet
of Jesus. This hour is no wandering
vagabond staggering over the earth, it is
a winge'd messenger of the skies whisper
ing mercy to thy soul. Life is smooth
now, Lui after a while it may bo rough,
wild and precipitate'. There comes a
crisis in the history of every man. Wo
seldom understand that turning point
until it is far pact. The road of life is
forked and I read on two signboards:
Thic; is the way to happiness," "This is
the way to ruin.'" How apt we are to
paso tlio l'oiks of the road without think
ing v.-het her it cornea out at the door of
bliss or the gates cf darkness.
Many years ago I stood on tho anni
versary platform with a minister of
Christ who made this remarkable state
ment: "Thirty years ago two young men
started out in the evening to attend Park
theatre. New Y'ork, where a play was to
lx! acted in which the cause of religion
was to bo j .-laced i:i ;. ridiculous and hyp
ocritical light. They came to the steps.
Tiie consciences of both smote them. One
started lo go home, but returned again to
tho door anil yet had not courage to en
ter and finally departed. But tho
other young ma:i entered the pit
of tho theatre. It was tho turn
ing point in the history cf thoso two
young men. The man who entered was
cai:g!:t in tho whirl of temptation. He
sank de'eper nnd deeper in infany. lie
was lost. That other young man was
saved, and he now stands before you to
bless God that for twenty years he has
bee); permitted to preach the Gospel."
.-Rejoice, O you::g man, in thy youth,
and let thy heart cheer thee in the days
of thy youth; but know thou that for a-i
these things God will bring thee into
judgment. "
Weaving in lilliltcr.I Times.
TliL're were not many regular manu
facturers among the ancient Jcwj. There
a:e. however, several beauiifr.l allusions
to weaving by Job, but this, like spinning
tho thread, was carried cn as a family
employment rather than as a regular
trade. It is so now among eastern na
tions. The loom and tho instruments
for spinning are of the plainest and
simplest kind. In tho description of the
virtuous woman, Proverbs xxxi, 10, to
the end we have a full and minute ac
count of tho manner in wliich these fam
ily employments were directed by tho
mistress. Nor was this only in the fam
ilies of the lower and middle ranks. In
the Greek and Roman histories we read
of the wives of kings and generals being
thus engaged. Homer, who lived Boon
after the time of Solomon, describes two
queens Penelope and Helen employed
at their looms. Dr. Shaw found that the
women in Barbary at the present day
were the only persons who wove tho
hykes or upper garments. These were
coarse articles and they did not use shut
tles, but passed the threads cf the woof
with their fingers. Solomon's virtuous
woman is represented by our translators
of the Bible as having clothing of silk;
the word rendered silk, according to
Eome authorities, should be fine cotton
cloth or musiin, as they state siik was
then scarcely, if at all, known. Aurelian,
the Roman emperor, 1,300 years after
the time cf Solomon, refused his wife a
silk gown because it was too expensive.
We can. therefore, hardly suppose that a
Jewish woman of the middle clas3 could
have such clothing. Philadelphia Calk
