Mr. Talmage delivered yesterday his promised sermon on the drama to a densely crowded audience, He took for his text Judges Xvi, 25:—“When their hearts were merry they said, call for Samson that he may make us sport; and they called tor Samson out of the prison houge, and he made them sport; and they set him between the pillars.” Ihave received, he said, several letters asking me to postpone my sermon on the evils and cor- rupting infuences of the drama, in consequence of the heavy rain, but I will not permit any climatic causes to interfere with a promise I have made. Those who are not present will have many opportunities of hearing me as I intend. One morning there were two vessels-of-war dying in the bay. They looked still and peaceful, and friendly boats passed between them, when suddenly one of the war vessels sent @ broadside into the other one, shivering and shaking her, and was at once answered by the guns of the other vessel from ail along her side. ‘That broadside was my first sermon on the drama, and | intend to yive the devil a few more shots.

This face was skirted by two red mutton-chop whiskers, and the roof of his ;head, which was bald, was supported by wings of the same complexion. His manner, without a touch of sympathy, freezes; and his voice dis- owns, even in some few passages where it would have borne it, the silver music of one soft sound, He macadamizes his sentences and with a ham- mer of expression breaks them into bits, His pronunciation is wholly imperfect, aud as to that grammar, the absence of which he com- Plained of, and very justly, in so many actors, he threw with reckless profusion @ whole cohort of innocent substantives and adverbs on the world without the smallest provision for their support, Perbaps, however, this is bis art, and he is about 10 develop anew theory of anti-grammarianism.

But I do say that the American stage as it is numbers im its ranks more harlots and debauchees than ail the other professions, She is tne mother of | Barlots. If not, why crown Miss Cashman? Why @id every one hail her with rapturons plaudits? Because she had preserved her virtue through all the temptations that beset her. In answer to the charge that mausicians had been employed by the Church he said:—The devil ver invented asweet sound. We have a right and are determined hencerorth to gather together all that in art 1s beautiful, all that im music ennobles and attracts to the house of God, that ‘we may array them against the machina- tions of the sink ‘of iniquity.

Jam asked why Idenounce the stage when my profession keeps me from entering the theatre. I answer that the service of Christ puts no men on the limits, I go Where apy man here may go. What is wrong tor him is wrong for me. 1 have been to the theatre but three times, one of these times to see Forrest, and thatin my earlier manhood, But is it necessary to be 4 constant attendant to understand its work- ings ang denounce the evil it works?

TALMAGE CRITICISED, ieee ALBEMARLE Horet, Nov, 29, 1874, To THE EDITOR oF THE HERALD :— Ihave just returned from the Brooklyn play house, after seeing the popular comedian of that sainted city, Mr. Stiggins Talmage, go througp his part. Is there one law Jor Brooklyn and another Jor New York—one for the Bowery Theatre and another for the Talmage ? ior the whole thing was acting, acting, acting, and in many particulars I have never witnessed a more disgusting exhibi- tion, Perhaps ap injunction had been served. There were, however, no police, and the perform- a|nce went on. It opened with a psalm, and then there came from the neighborhood of an armchair Upon the stage sundry Iugubrions groans, ex- ‘tracted from the caverns of the stomach, which, aiter an animated struggle with a qumatity of coffee and buckwheat cakes, emerged through @ Duge sensuous mouth, a Species of hell open to Christians, and made heavy the heated air. He then read notices of meetings. I remember one, #ome time since, in which he announced “a sociable at Sister Martha’s, The girls will all be enhend, Let the young men meet them and see them home.” Most thougutiul shepherd of the fold, After this there was a little more howling and a peaim sung, apparently to me, realy aiter the air of “Charming Juay Callaghan.” fhe shepherd eaid afterwards he loved to be jolly and to listen £0 jolly tunes, for “I am a chiid of Mature.” The psalms were jed of by a cornet-a- Piston, which reminded me of the “gentle 7Zit- tella”’ on the Kent bugle of the guards of the old David Garrick, herself an actress, reposes in one ol the most sacred and conspicuous parts of West- ) Ininster Abbey, and close by sieep the remains of Samuel Juunson, the author of the tragedy ‘drene,” the great moralist and stout defender of Christian ethics and of Richard Bripsiey Sheridan, who revived the British Grama without writing Une that was not in the service o! all that was ood, He makes an excepuon to bis calumuics of Jhariotte Cushman, who, with an indelicate satire, he describes as having under great temptations preserved her virtue. Such creatures as this Stig- gins Talmage grow op in Brooklyn as naturally as Tats in 4 corn stack. If his present pew specula- tion was to periso we shouid find him, as he himself stated, warming himself | un- der the skirts of, Mcthodism and laying down sewers for the olu corruptions to circulate in under new names, let down the cor- ners of his wouth and “be jolly.” What does nia congregation think oO! this consistent shepherd? He states that he attended tae theatre in his youth, There are some teatres to which youth should not resort, as there are some pastors that | are the corrupters of youth, 1t miglt, however, uo him considerable good to attend sometimes now. Hamlet say: I have heard that guilty creatures, sitting ata play, Have, by the very cunning of the scene, Been siruck so to the soul (hat presently They have proclaimed their maleiuctions, 1 remember to have heard oi a strange scene on a lake in the interior of Pennsylvania most fitting jor the teachings 01 the stage. li J have it arama- uzed will Mr. Tasmage sit at the play?

Even at the present «lay visitors from aii parts o1 the worid Tush anauaily to Oberammerger \o witness taere the sublime performance of the most turilling events in the Saviour’s life and passion. The sec- ular drama has won equally great victories in weaniog man from vices, in alluring nim to virtue of the efficacy of which, ae au examipie, tue drama of George Baruweli tuly attests. He is not aware, of course, that the great Goethe, as the grear Shake- speare, Was Mauauer Ol a theatre. And when et perorsand kings, the first and noblest in the world, Were called togetuer at Uriurth, they sent for Talma to make veautini their evenings, The good Queen Victoria and the pious EKugéuie made ihe theatre almost a nightly delight, a8 does the sainted wue and the pattern deugnter-in-iaw of Germany’s Emperor William. The iact of itis u the Church had rules as stringent for iaise teachings in iniscelianeous sermons as in points ol dogina this Stiggins Talmage wouid be hissed off the stage and heid up to the scorn and opprobrium of (he Community ; and if the Saviour was to come now upon earta and walk through the streets of Brooklyn as He dta in days of old through the cities ol Judea, the tirst person likel tobe whipped out ol any temp.e named after Him, as were the mobey changers, would be this pew speculator and mock clergyman, Mr. Stiggins Talmage. There was @ lmne, as everybody Knows, when the Puritans, to Spite the Cavaliers derided ail the lattera’ joyous mauliestations, and the Pilgrim Fathers carried some of that spirit to the New World aud mace the atmosphere grim with long faces and mullgnant hatred against those who wished tu make earch not nowvie but also joyous.

Yours, very truly, W. STUART, would Manager Park Theatre. MB, BEECHER ON SUNDAY. Mr. Beecher preached last night, to a congrega- tion that filled every part of the -nouse, a serimon on the Sabbath and its uses, He selected his text from Isaiab, lviil., 18-14—“If thou turn away thy mail coaches as they entered some English country | foot trom the Sabbath, from doing thy pieasure on town, and produced a most ladicrous effect, When the music, otherwise excellent, was silent, | holy of the Lord, honorabig, my holy day; and call the sabvath a delight, the end shalt honor them the truest of wives, the kindest o/ sisters, | ‘The iu.mination of such | | Jeliows, with whom Providence and suvscriptions | he | his periormences are | joint of view, a blasphemous periorm- | nim, not do! thine Own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, oor speaking thine own words; then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high Places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob, thy father; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” These words, sald Mr. Beecher, were not intended by the prophet to be @ purden upon the people; it was a command, but it was not to be @ burden; it was intended that it should enable them to honor their man- hood; it was to be @ day not of bondage but of delight. This was to the old Jews, It was a Promise to them, if they would so use the Sabbath as to houor it, That Sabbath is gone; for the most Part the Saturday 18 held by the Jews, and by a small section of the Christian people, The Lord’s Day has taken the place of this Sabbath by the Christian people, but the Lord’s Day is no more obligatory than the Jewish Sabbath. Paul teaches us we are not to keep it; neither feast days nor Sapbath days. With Christ and Christianity men came into a larger and higher power of individual itverty ,of con- science, We certainly did not undertake to make & point on anew day instead of an oldone, The question of the truth of the custom is not detri- mental either to the truth or the principle, It does not depend for its existence upon legis lation, nor upon common consent, nor upon pub- fic sentiment, but the custom does, Justice, hu- manity, love, purity, faith, derive no part of their authority from the State. The State may recog- nize them, they existed before the State existed, No enactment can annul them, Custom springing from any of these principies may be variable, and may be ‘determined by e@ want of them. That man should reverence God 1s a universal truth, and cannot be annulled, neither can 16 be enacted. It stands in its own nature, and before revelation derived ite force from the constitution of buman laws. How men are to ex- press that reverence they may themselves deter- mine. Any given Cuurch may determine it for it- sell, or a community may determine it Jor itsell. THE TOPIC OF THE Day, As it regarda the Lord’s Day, which 1s a topic Just now much spoxen of, much interest has been caused in consequence of @ special movement to augment the conteut of Suuday. Ido regurd we existence and authority of such @ day us this | may be held to be a matter of discussion and convenience, But what the people may do | on such @& day as this depends upon | the — people themselves, It must not | be Jooked at textually or churchly. We are living | in an age in which all things Wat pertain to the Commvunweaith do come belore the body oi tue people; and u they are not able to establish chem- selves belore this iribunat they must go down, NOT A QUESTION FO@ OHURCH FOLKS, It ought not to be @ question between the church joiks and the world jolxs, Although the | Churen snvuld take @ projound interest in it, al- though the Church shouid instruct its members in this matter, it has bo authority, unless the com- ana | shouid justify it, In taking on airs of autuor- | ity. ‘The Sabvath was @ national day by Jewish | origin; 1+ was made @ national day by our iore- | fatuers; our jaws make it one now. Uf it was in the power Of the Legislature to give it this separate- ess and specialty it is in the power of the Legisia- | tare to put it back agam. If it was in the power of tue common people to Make laws lor its ouser- | Vance It was in their power to make laws for is, | non-observauce, ‘he temper of the times will not | tolerate bondage in any direction, THE HISTORY OF FACTS, After a reference to the homogeneous condition Of vur population, and the need there was that a | large view should be taken of this question, so a8 not to arouse any national prejudices, Mr. | Beecher proceeded to look at the question from Whathe said was the human side. In doing so he described the early laws in New Englund in rela- j tion to the day; the restrictions of tuat ume | aud the gradual enlargement oi: liberty m respect to it When it is demanded that tue rights and intelligence of the community demaud the opening of the drinking salouns— piaces that destroy mankind—and that tuese | snould be tolerated, the simple common seuse ol the peopie deny it, and it ts the policy of the people to svut up such places, And if | they be opened, it 1s by connivance. All these | elements tend to anunalze man, and are not to | be tolerated on Sunday, This was wise legisia- tion, | EXTREME VIEWS, | It is to be regretied, tnen, that extreme | | Views should be uttered. | All extreme views | | are to be resented. We ure to be jealous of all | extreme views on the side of the Church which tend to we men up; which tend to arvitrary ob- servance; Which Lend Lo place customs 1n place of singer’s votce can furnish it. It need not be pro- fessionally sacred, A good Scottish ballad has more saving grace in it than @ great many of Watws select hymns, AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House—Italian Opera. Mr. Strakosch’s Italian Opera bade farewell, or rather au revoir, to the New York public last night, The programme was the same as that presented at the Saturday matinée, namely :— An act of “La Traviata,” another from “Norma,” the shadow song [rom “Dinorah,” and the garden scene from “Faust.” The house was crowded, and Mile, Heilbron, Signora Potentini and Mile. Donadio, who took pars in the performance, were vehemently appiauded, Steinway Hail—Carl Formes’ Farewell. A very small audience attended the farewell concert of this world-renowned basso at Steinway Hall last night, He sang ‘‘The Wanderer,” aa old volesited, an air irom the ‘Marriage of Figaro,” and in the duet between Valentine and Marcel, from “Les Huguenots,” His voice was in very good condition and exhibited some of its former owers, and hig recepilon was of the heartiest Mule.

The “Fledermaus,” (the Bat) which was pro- duced last evening to a large audience at the Stadt Theatre, has already been noticed at length in these columns. A Sunday night performance at the Stadt is by no means a Puritanic affair, or one which the tem- perance men would be apt to tolerate. During the intermissions one-third of the male spectators pour into the spactous lager beer saloon which 13 connected with the theatre, and revel in their haruiess national beverage. It was so last night, and if the performance was no ‘east of reason” and “flow oO! soul,” it was, at all events, a feast of music and a flow of lager, and a very considerable flow, no doubt. The audience were jolly, as usual, and enjoyed themselves heartily, as all German audiences do on Sunday night, which 1s considerea the gala occasion for the theatre. —. Miss Mayr will not sing to-night, but on Tuesday evening she is to essay the rdle of the Grand Duchesse of Gérolstein. The Stadt Germania Theatre—“‘Ultimo,” by Moser. “Ultimo,’? Moser’s deligutful comedy, was again presented iast evening at the Germania Theatre, The audience was very large, and alter a long and prosperous run this play seems to be still an irre- gistible attraction to the German lovers of the drama, . The Tivoli Theatre. The Tivoli Theatre, located in Eightn street, east of Third avenue, was densely crowded last evening by an assemblage of both sexes, wDo lis- | tened to the music and watched the periormances with great interest, About 3,300 persons at- tended the Sunday afternoon and evening per- formances, which consisted of short acts, dia- logues 01a harmless nature, duets and solos by the male and iemale performers, and acts on the double and single trapeze.

Chadwick preached in tne Clinton street Universalist church yesterday forenoon, and in the course Of bis sermon toucned on the subject of Sunday amusements in a boid and com- prehensive manuer. He said “rest can be made positive, either by pure and wholesome recrea- tion or by intellectual and spiritual activity, The recreation must be pure and wholesome, or it 1s not restiul; rather it is exhausting and debill- tating. Here 1s one great objection to the Sunday theatre, especially ior those who patronize such entertainments ag it willbe likely to .urnish for some time to come. Its recreation is nut pure and wholesome, The spectator goes away wearied rather than reireshed—unfitted by it ior the mor- row’s toil, It is a very serious problem how the poor—I do not mean the paupers— of our Jarge cities, are to be furnished with the right sort of Sunday recreation. Some sort they will lave. If tiey caunut wave It by lair means they wili have it by ioul. Our Irish population go to couren a single hour in the morn- lug.
