WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Dr. Talmage
In this discourse sets forth radical theo-'
ries, which. If adopted, would brighten
many domestic circles; text, John Xxx,
10. "The disciples went away again un.
to their own homes"
A church within a church, q republic
within republic, world within a
world is spelled by four letters-home!
If things go right there, they go right
everywhere. If things go wrong there,
they 60 wrong everywhere. The door.
sill of the dwelling house is the founda-
ton of church and state. A man never
gets higher than his own garrett or low
er than his own cellar. Domestic life
overarches and undergraduates all other
life. The highest house of congress is
the domestic circle. The rocking chair
in the nursery is higher than throne.
George Washington commanded the
forces Of the United States, but Mary
Washington commanded George. Chrys.
ostom's mother made his pen for him.
If a man should start out and run 70
years in straight line, he could not
get out from under the shadow of his
own mantelpieoe. therefore talk to

nal moment when Ispeak of your home.
As individuals we are fragments.
God makes the race in parts, and then
be gradually puts us together. What l
lack you make up. What you lack
make up. Our deficits and SURPRISES of
character being the cogwheels in the
great social mechanism. One person
has the patience, another has the cour-
age, another has the placidity, another
has the enthusiasm. That which is lack
ing in one is made up by another, or
made up by all Buffaloes in herds,
grouse in broods, quails in flocks, the
human race in circles. God has most
beautifully arranged this. 1t is in this
way that he balances society. This con-
sentative and that radical keeping things
even. Every ship must have its mast
outwater, taffrail, ballast. Thank God,
then, for Princeton and Andover, for
the opposites.

for being different from me than driv-

A cold thinker gives to Scotland the

clothes them with throbbing heart and
warm flesh. The difficulty is that we are
not satisfied with just the work that God
has given us to do. The water wheel
wants to come inside the mill and grind
the grist and the hopper wants to &c
out and dabble in the water Our use

pend upon our staying in just the place
that God has put us or intended We
