BROOKLYN TABERNACLE.


THE Rev. T. DE WITT TALMAGE.
Mr. Talmaee preached yesterday morning on "rhe
Christians Inheritance" taking his text from l. Co.
rinthians, ill.,, 22-"All are yours" Tho impression
10 abroad, said Mr. Talmago, that religion puts man
on small allowance, that the soldiers Of Chriss army
march most Of the time with empty haversack,
and In q word, that only those. people have good
time who take upon themselves religious obliga-
tons. This morning am going to tako an account
of stock, and show what the Christians liabilities
and assets are. l open tho text and find roll
Of government sccurities-tho empire Of heaven
promising all things to tho possessor. The TIRED
small words Of my text a warrantoe deed OF the
whole universe In the FIRST place, the Christian owns
this world 1t would be an absurd thing to suppose
that God would give those who not His children
privileges ana advantages which Ho would deny
HIS own children go back little way to examine
this inheritance OF the world, and l hnd that
the whole right Is vested ~ God. Now to
children. 'Ihc earth the Lords, and the iuness
thereof" and Ho will regulate the Title The social
enjoyments life in the Christians right, are
the rehnements OF Lille Again ! remark that all the
sweet the earth In the Christians right
There are people who have an dea that Instruments
OF music are improper in Christian parlor church,
When did theatre the bacchana get the right 10
muscS My text makes over TO the Christian ell the
pianos drums, comets, flutes and organs. People OF
the world may borrow tnem, but they only borrow
them; they nave no right or title IN them The
the keys and Gods cct tramplng the pedals in tho
great oratoro VI the ages. So all artistic and literary
advantage is in the Christians right DON'T caro- ON
whose wall the picture hangs, 1t belongs 10 the Chris
tian-''All are yours"
THE WORLDS coxxIssARAT.
Again, tho right oil all temporal support 10 In the
CHRISTIANS name 1t Is great job to iced the world
Just think OF the fact that this morning 600
OF The breakfastcd just think oi the comnissary
department OF tho world just Lnink vi tho infinite
wardrobe to cothe tho human racel So all the vicis
STUDIES OF this Lille are IN the right OF tho Christian.
Sometimes we arc gong this way, sometimes that;
but If Christians are on the right track aud
going 10 como out at the right place. Don't get
Worried ihon about the sharp curves In the track. IL
the oil trouble dash clear high above your
girdio across tho blast, you can hear the promise,
When thou passeth through tho winters Will be with
thcc." You never own glove or hat or coat more
aud exasperations Of your own lie, and they are
bound 10 work out your present and eternal good.
There are some Christians who have an
easy life and smooth sailing all tho
IL no excitement and very lew people know they
are there But those Christians no have beon
tho midnight hurricane when they come up tho har-
Dor all the redeemed will turn out to greet
them and bid them welcome 60 further and tell YOU
that the Christian owns NOT only this world but The
next; no chasm DO oaped desert TO be crossed.
Death IS not runlan that comes to drive as out vi
home he is only black messenger VINO cOmos 10 tell
get out OF this hut aud 10 up into palace. The
Christian owns all heaven lis palaces oil beauty, ts
domes OF strength, It's castles oil life. All Its mansions
yours the angels your companions Its trees O
lite shade It's hills Of glory your LOOKOUT Jesus
yours, God Is yours. From throne to throne, from
horizon horizon, all IN yours. There are all those
radiant with Joy that shall never ceaso and lled with
love that shall grow cold In the vision OF thai
glorious contamination almost lose my foothold and
have TO hold last lost DO overcome with the glory.
