In Talmage preaches a powerful to the if Obj unbelievers should become be Jevors All Alay yet to saved. Brooklyn Jan. Following pow Gotal Sermon addressed to goers was Delix Ord by or. Talmage this morning in the Academy of Alusie this City and in the evening at the new York Academy of music where services Are Atill boing held under the auspices of the Christian Herald. At the latter serv ice the new choir of two Hundred voices most effectively led the musical exercises. Or. Talmage a text was John a 10 other a Wop i 1-ia-ve which Aro not of this Foli there no monopoly in religion. The Gruce of god is not a Nice Littles property Fea Ceil Oft nil fur ourselves. It is not a King " Park at which we look through Gateway wishing to might go in Bud Pluck the Flowers Ami look tit the Deer and the statuary. It is Orchard and there Are bars to let Down and Gates in Rny boyhood Days next to the country where 1 event Thero was an Apple Orchard of great Luxuriance owned by a very lame Man who did not gather the apples and they went to waste by scores of bushels. Sometimes the lads of tie school in the Sint ulness of a nature inherited from our first parents who fell through the same temptation would climb Over the Fence and take some of these apples Anil notwithstanding the fact that there was a surplus and a going to waste the owner of that Orchard reckless of Mak big his lameness worse would take after these lads and shout boys drop those apples or i la set the dog on you now there Aro christians who have severe guard Over Tho Church of god. They have a rough and unsympathetic Way of treating outsiders. It is a great Orchard into which god would like to have All the people Como and Tako the richest and the ripest fruit cd Tho More they take the better he likes it. Rut there Are those who stand with Rayer Yon Are going to to consecrated to Iod you Aro going to live a life of useful Ness and your deathbed is going to Besner Ronn Dod by Christian sympathizers and devout men will carry you to your burial when your work is done and these words will precious n the sight of the lord is the death of his and All that history is Goina to begin today. Other sheep have i which ire not of this again i remark the heavenly Shepherd s going to find Many of his sheep among those who Are now reject ers of christianity. Not know How you came to reject christianity. I do not know whether it was through hearing Theodora Parker preach or whether it was Reading Kenan s life of or whether it was through some septic in the store or factory. Or it May is Tho you were disgusted with religion and disgusted with Brist vanity because some Man who pro fessed to be a Christian Der ended you and he being a member of the Church and you taking him a a representative of the Hristian religion you said Well if that s religion i Don t want any of i do not know How Yogi came to reject christianity but you frankly Tell a you do reject it you do not think the Bible is Tho word of god although there Are Many things in it Yon Admire you do not think hat Christ was a divine being although you think to was a very Good Man. You 5ay, if the Bible be most of the Bible lie nevertheless Tii Ink the earlier part of the Bible is an allegory and there Are fifty things that i believe Yon do not believe. Nevertheless they toll sue in regard to you that you Are an accommodating an obliging Perison. F i should come to you and ask of Yon a favor you would Grant it if it were Possi ble. It would be a Joy for you to Grant me a favor. If any of your friends came 1.0 you and wanted an accommodation and you could accommodate them How glad you would be now i am going to ask of you a favor want you to oblige me. Tho accommodation will Cost you nothing and you will give me great happiness. Of course you will not deny me. I want you Asau Experiment to try the Christian religion. U if does not stand the test discard it if it does receive it. Try it a Twat. If you were very sick and you had been Given up of the doctors and i came to you and i took a bottle of last Lieuie from my pocket and said Here is in Dicine i urn sure will help you it has cured fifty peo you would say of i Haven t any Confidence in it they Tell me All these medicines will fail i say will you not As a matter of accommodation to myself just try you Sny "1 have no objection to trying it if it will be any satisfaction to you i will try you take it. Now you Are sick in disquietude sick in sin you Are not Happy. You laugh sometimes when you Are miserable. There Home surges of Over your soul that almost swamp you. You Are unhappy struck through with unrest. Now will you not try this Solace this Febri Fuge this Anodyne this gospel medi Cine you say i havoc t any Faith in As a matter of accommodation let me introduce Yon to the lord Jesus Christ the great physician. You say i Haven t any Faith in him -. Now will you not just let him come Aud try his Power on your soul just let me Intro Duce him to you. I do not ask you to take my word for it. I do not. Ask you to take the advice of Clergyman. Perhaps Tho clergymen May be prejudiced perhaps we May be speaking professionally perhaps we May give you wrong advice perhaps. To Are morbid on that subject so i do not you to take the advice of clergymen i ask Yon to take the advice of very respectable Laymon such a William shakes Peare the dramatist As William Wilber Force thu statesman us Isaac Newton Tho astronomer As Robert Boyle the p Biles opher As Locke the metaphysician 11? Morse the electrician. Those men never never pretended to they come out Aud putting Down one his Telescope Anc another the electrician s wire and another the parliamentary come out and they commend Christ As a Comfort to All the people a Christ that Tho world needs. Now i do not ask Yon to take the advice of clergymen. Take the advice o these laymen. It does not make any differ ent to me at this juncture what you Havi paid against the Bible it does not make any difference to me at this juncture How you May have caricatured religion. Take the advice of men who Are prominent in As these men whom i hav mentioned and others who immediately occur to your mind. You see i do no scoff at scepticism. I never scoffed at scepticism. I have been a natural septic. I do not know what the first word was that i uttered after entering the world but i think it Hove been there were times when i doubted the existence of god when i doubted the d Vinit of Christ Whan i doubted the immortality of the soul when i doubted m own existence when i donated Over thin i have been through the whole Curri Oulom of doubt and you Cin Tell me nothing be about it. I have come out from a Grea Sahara desert into tha Calm warm Sun shiny land of the gospel. I know Abou the other land. I have been there. To can Tell me nothing new about it. And know Al about the other condition of which Yon do not know peace to Comfort Tho Joy the Triumph Trustin in god and in Jesus Christ whom he has sonic. 80 i Ain not scoffing Iii to i bel1evb is god s love. There Are some things i believe that 70 to not but there Are so me things that i believe and you do believe. You believe in Ove a. Father s love a Mother s love a wife s love a child s love. Now let me Tell god loves you More than All of them whether and you must come in you will ome in. Christ looks in All tenderness with the infinite tenderness of the gospel nto your soul and he says this is your Ime for and then he his and to the people of god and he says other sheep have i which Are not of this again i remark the heavenly Shepherd s going to get Many of his sheep among lost who have been of evil habit. It outrages me to see How soon Christian eople give up Tho prodigal. I hear Chris Ian people talk As though they thought he Grace of god were a Chain of forty or fifty links and when they had run out Hen thera was nothing to touch the depth a Man s iniquity. If a Ina were out mating for doer and got off the track of he Deer he would Hunt amid Tho Blithe and the Bruker longer for the lost game ban he would look for a lost soul. They say if n Man has had Tun delirium Rem ens twice he cannot to cured. They a if a woman has fallen Frorer integrity lie cannot be redeemed. All of which is an in finite slander on Tho gospel of Tho san of god. Men who say that know nothing about. Practical religion in their own hearts. Low Many times will got a Man who hits fallen f Well i cannot give Yon he exact figures but i win Tell you at what joint he certainly will Tako him Hack our Hundred and ninety times. Why do four Hundred and ninety times f be also Tho Bible says seventy times seven vow figure that out Yon who do not think n Man can fall four times eight times ten limes Twenty time i one Hundred times our Hundred times and yet be saved. On Hundred and ninety times Why Here is a great multitude throne of god who plunged into All the Depths of in laity. Oliero were no Slas they did not commit out they were washed of body and washed of mind and washed of soul and they Are before the sch Rosie god now forever Happy. I say that to encourage my Man who feels there is no Chance Foi god alone Cas save you. Good _ templars will not save you Al though they Are a grand institution. Sons of Temperance will not save Yott although hero is on Earth. Sign ing the Temperance pledge will not save you although it is a grand thing to do. No one but god can save you. Do not put you Confidence in Bromide of potassium or any Hinig that the apothecary can mix. Put your Trust in god i Affler the Church has cast you off and the Bank has cast you off and social circles have cast you off Ami All Ood society Baa cast you off and father Aas cast you off Aud Mother has you off at your first cry Tor help god will Bend lean Down to that ditch of your iniquity o help you out. Of what to god he is Long suffering and gracious a there May be in this House some whose Viand trembles so with dissipation they could hardly hold a hymn Book. I say the such if they arc hero Yon will preach o gospel yet. You will yet some of Yon carry Tho holy communion Ali rough the aisles and Yon will be acceptable to every body because everybody will know you Are saved and purified by the Grace of god and to o jul secreted Man wholly conae crated. Your business has got to come up your physical health is to be rebuilt you family is to to restored the Church of got on Earth und in heaven is to rejoice Over your coming Othar sheep have i which not of this if thin is not the gospel i do not know what the gospel is. It can scale any height it can fathom an depth it can Compass any Infinity. I one reason Why there Are not More people saved is we Tio not swing the door wide enough open. Now there a Only one class of persons this House about whom i have any despond ency and that is these who have been hearing the gospel for perhaps Twenty thirty forty years their outward life is moral but they Tell you frankly they do not love the lord Jesus Christ have not trusted him have not been born again by the spirit of god. They Are gospel hard ened. The gospel has no More a duct Tipon them than the shining of Tho Moon on the City pavement. The publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of god before they. They went through Rome of them Tho revival of 1857, when souls were brought to god. Some of them Wen through great revivals in India Idun churches. Still a pardoned a blessed unsaved. They were merely spectators gospel hardened after awhile we Wil hear that they Are sick and then that the Are dead and then that they died without any Hope. Gospel hardened but i turn away from All such with n thrill of Iii Opo to those who Are not gospel hardened. Some of you have not heard perhaps live sermons in five years. This whole subject has been a Novelty to you for some time. You Are not gospel hard ened you know you Aro not gospel hard ened. The whole subject comes freshly to your mind. I hear som soul saying of my wasted life of the bitter Postl of the Graves i stumbled Over whither shall 1 11 a Tho future is so dark so dark so very dark god help god guards his sheep. Of i am so glad for that lost utterance that was a prayer and As soon As you by Giti to Pray thut turns nil heaven this Way and god Steps in und he beats Back the Bounds of temptation to t heir kennels and he throws ill around the pursued soul the Covert of his pardoning mercy. I heard something fall. What was it it was thu bars around Tho sheep old Tho bars of 1. 1 it Fence around the Sheepfold. Tho heavenly Shepherd let them fall and the hunted sheep of Mountain come bounding in some la eco torn of Tho Brambles and others with feet lame from Tho Doga bounding in. Thank god other sheep have i which Aro not of this god forbid that any of you should have the lamentation of the lying Nobleman who had had every Opportunity of Salva Tion but rejected All and who wrote or dictated these words before you receive this my final state will be determined. I am throwing my lost stake Ifor eternity and tremble and shudder for Tho important Issue. Of my Friend with what Borror do i recall the hours of vanity have wasted together but i. Have a splendid passage to the grave. I Dio in stall ii Aud languish under a gilded canopy. 1 to expiring on soft and downy pillows Aigid am respectfully attended by my servants and physicians. My dependants sigh in a Sis tera weep my father bends beneath a Load of years and grief. But of which these will answer my summons at the High Tri Bunal and which of these will bail me from the arrest of death while some flattering panegyric is pronounced at my interment i May be hearing my just condemnation at a supreme tribunal.
