Of Good an average can boast of yet that s Best or too All. Brooklyn Fob. Deep religious a infested in or. Talmage a congestion since his Receno Aro Uaine a Sarto outsiders has apparently a scour whim to continue Piet Iching distinct evangelistic sermons. Today to delivered another discourse of the Samo 1 Type both at the morning service in a ail my of music in this City and at the Christian Herald service at night in York Academy of music. His jest was taken from Mark a 21 one thing thou the Young Man of the text was a is leu Aid nature. To fall in love a Rich him at theirs Glanco. Lie was amiable and Frank and so Christ addresses him one be Happy what that gave that aged Man so much satisfaction and peace physical exuberance no it has All gone. Sunshine he cannot Seo it. The voices of friends he cannot hear them. It is the Grace of god that is Bright than Sunshine and that is sweeter than music. If a harpist takes a Harp and finds that All the strings Are broken but one string to does not try to play upon it. Yet Here i will show you an used Man the strings of whose Joy Are All broken save one and yet he thrum it with Stich Satis faction such Molody that the us gals of god Stop Tho Swift stroke of their wings and hover about the place until the music ceases. Of religion s ways Are ways of pleasantness and All her paths Are and it you have not Tho satisfaction that to tic found in Jesus Christ i must Tell you All Tho concentrated emphasis of my soul one thing thou i remark again that Yon Lack the ele ments of usefulness. Where is your Busi Ness you say it is no. 45 such a Street or no. 260 such a no. 800 such a Street. My Friend immortal your business is wherever there a a tear to is wiped away or a soul to be saved. You May be Earnest and educated and refined and j Foro coming to Christ do a great Many and moral and yet to was not in Hon cml t an in Fly of by jul to Noble things that starving you Man wants immortal bread. A loaf of bread to the Alloy but he you take a Pound is one words that i have read to you 1 Ine thou Inck Csc i suppose that that candles to that dark shanty. They want was no More appropriate to Tho Young tl10 that Springs from the throne of Man of whom i have spoken than it is of pod cannot take you rope Jat to a great multitude of people in to Hafl audience. There Are Many things in which you no not lacking. For instance Tou no not lacking in a Good Home. It is perhaps no More than an hour ago that you closed the door returning to Seo whether it was Well fastened of one of the Best Homes in this City. The younger Chil Dren of Tho House already asleep the older ones hearing your return ing footsteps run Rush to the door to meet you. And in these Winter evenings the children at the stand with their lessons Tho wife plying Tho Needle and you Reading the Book or Tho paper you feel that you have a Good Home. Neither no you kicking in Tho refine ments anal courtesies of life. You under stand the polite phraseology of invitation regard and apology. You have on appropriate apparel. I shall Wear no better dress at Tho wedding than when i come to Tho marriage of the King s son. If i am Well clothed on other occasions i will be so in a religious audience. However reckless i May be about my personal appearance at other times when 1 come into a Conse crated assemblage i Thall Havo on the Best dress i have. We All understand Tho proprieties of everyday life and the proprieties of Sabbath life. Neither Are you lacking in worldly Suc Cess. You Havo not made As much Money of you would like to make but you have go income. While others Are false when they say they Havo no income or Are Mak ing no Money you have never told that falsehood. You have had a livelihood or 7011 have fallen upon old resources which a just the same thing for god is just As Good to us when lie takes care of us by n surplus of Tho past As by present Success. While there Are thousands of men with hunger tearing at the Throat with the strength of a Tiger s Paw not one of you is hungry. Neither Are you lacking in pleas ant Friend Bip. You have real Good friends. If the Scarlet fever Shotwi come to night to your House you knew very Well who would Comorn and sit up Vith the sick one or if death should come know who would Como in Aud take your Huud tight in theirs that Peculiar grip which Means ill stand by and after the life has fled from Tho loved one Tako you by the Arm and lend you into Tho next room and while you Aro gone to Greenwood they would stay in Tho House and put aside Tho garments Aud the playthings that might bring to your mind too severely year great loss. Friends you Sill Havo friends. Sou Christian of christianity. Neither Are you Lucking in your Admyra lion of Tho Christian religion. There is nothing that makes you so angry As to Havo a Man malign Christ. You get red in the face Aud you say sir t want you to und Ferstand that though i am not my self a Christian i Don t like such things said As that in my and Tho Man goes off giving you a parting salutation Tut you hardly answer him. Yon Are provoked beyond All Bounds. Many of you have been supporters of religion and have Given More to the cause of Christ than some who profess Bis Faith. There is Noth ing that would please Yon More than to see your son or daughter standing at the altar of Christ taking Tho vows of Tho Christian. It might to a Little hard on you and might make you nervous and agitated for Little while but you would be Man enough to say my child that is right. Go on. 1 am glad you Haven t been kept Back by my example. I Hope some Day to join you believe All the doctrines of re Ligion a Man out yonder says " i am Asin you respond. So am someone says "1 believe t iat Christ came to save the Yon Way so do lock ing Ayour Char motor at your surround ing i find it thou and things about which to congratulate yet i must Tell Yoa in the love ind fear of god and with reference to my last account one thing thou you need. Friends in the first place the Clement ocl Prii ideas. Some Day you fee wretched. You do not know what is the Nutter with you. You say i did not Leq list night. I think that must be the Cavm of my or i Bave eaten something that did not agree with me 1 think Taftt must to Tho and to i Are unhappy. Of my friends happiness does not Depp to upon physical condition. Some of Tho happiest people i Ever known have been those who Havo Loen wrapper1, in consumption or stung Vita neuralgia or burning with Tho slow file of some fever. 1 Sli Alj never forget Ono Emu in my first who in Ecru citation of body cried Cut or. Tali Iago i forget All my pain in the love and Joy of Jesus Christ. I can t think of my sufferings when 1 think of Why his face was illumined there arc Young to ii in this House who would give testimony to show that there have it not in your own heart. You know that the flight of an Arrow depends very much upon the strength of the Bow and j have to Tell you that the Best Bow that was Ever made was made out of the Cross of Christ and when religion takes a soul and puts it on that and pulls it Back and lets it Fly every time it brings Down a Saul or Goliath. There Are people Here of High social Posi Tion und Largo moans cultured minds who if they would Como into the kingdom of god would set the City on fire with religious Awakening. Of hear Yon not the More than million voices of those in these two cities who Are unconverted voices of those who i i these two cities Are dying in their sins they want Light. They want they want Christ. They want heaven. Of that Tho lord would in aka you a Landing Orang cell As for myself i live sworn before High heaven that i will Protich this gospel As Well is 1 can in All its fullness until every fiber of my body and every faculty of my mind and every passion of my soul is exhausted. But we All have work to do. I Carnot do your work nor can you do my work. God Pouls us out the place where we Are to j serve Anil yet Are there not people in this House who Aro thirty forty fifty and Sisty years of age and yet have not Bercun the great work for which they were created with every worldly equipment one thing thou Luckel Folly of Tuet Uelk avoklul1ng. Again you Lack Tho element of personal safety. Where Are those people who associated with you Twenty years ago where Aro those people that fifteen years used to Cross South ferry or Fulton ferry with you to new York walk Down Tho Street where you Woro in business fifteen years ago and Sec How Tho signs Havo changed. Where Aro Cao people gone How Many of them Are shaded in eternity i cannot say but Many Many. I wont to the Village of my boyhood. The houses wore All changed. I passed one House in which once resided a Man who had lived an Earnest useful life and to is in glory now. In the next House a miser lived. To devoured widows houses and spout Hia whole life in trying to make the world worse and worse. And to is Good Man and Tho miser both gone to the same place. A did Thoy go to. Tho Samo place it is an infinite Absurdity to sup pose them both in the same place. If the miser had a Harp what tune did he play on it of my friends i commend you to his religion As the Only personal safety alien Yon die where Are you going to when we leave All these scenes upon what scenes will to enter when we were on ship Board Aud we All Felt that to must go to Tho Bottom was i right in a aying to one next me i wonder if we will reach Hea co if we do go Down was i Wise or unwise in asking that us Tsiou i adj Yon that Man is a fool who never thinks of Tho great future. If you pay Money you take a receipt. Ii you buy land you record Tho deed. Why because everything is so Uncertain Yoc want it Down in Black and White you say. For a House and lot Twenty five feet front by one Hundred feet deep All Security but for a soft vast As eternity nothing nothing if some Man or woman standing in some of these aisles should drop Down where would you go to which is your destiny suppose a Man is prepared for the future world what difference does it Moke to him whether he goes to his Homo today or into glory Only this be Dies he is better off. Where to Hud one Joy on Earth he will Havo a million in heaven. When to has a Small sphere hero he will trunk and Lay it Down on Tho Bottom of the chair then Kneel Down beside it and read and Pray and Pray and read until All your disturbance is gone and you feel that peace which neither Earth nor hell can Rob Yon of. Thy father s god thy Mother s god Waits for thee o Young Man. Cape for thy life escape now thing thu but i apply this subject to the Many Many in any assemblage. People do not Liv a to get old. That is the general Rule. Here and there an aged Man in the House. I Tell Yon Tho truth. You Havo lived Long enough in this world to know that it cannot satisfy an immortal nature. I must talk to you More reverentially than i do to these other people while at the Samo speak with great plainness. O father of the weary step o Mother Bent Down under the nil Wnenta of life has thy god Ever forsaken theol through All these years who has been your Best Friend seventy years of More isl seventy years of food and clothing of How Many Bright morn Ingul How Many glorious evening hours you Havo seen o fatter Mother god has been very Good to you. Do you feel it some of you Havo children and grandchildren the former cheered your Young Lico the latter twine your Gray locks in their tiny fingers. Has All Trio goodness that god has been making pass before you produced no change in you feelings and must it to said of you not withstanding All this one thing thou take your troubles to Jesus. Of if you could Only feel Trio hand of Christ smoothing Tho cares out of writ Klec of Accel of if you could Only fail the warm Arm of Christ steadying your tottering Steps i lift my voice loud enough to break through the deafness of Tho oar White i cry out one thing thou blackest it was an importunate Appeal a Yon up Man made in a prayer meeting when Roso up and said do Pray for my of father. He is to of age and he Don t love that father passed a few More stops on in life and then he went Down. He never gave any intimate Jpn thai to had chosen Jesus. It is u very hard thing for an old Man to become a Chris Tian. I know it is. It a so Hurd a thing that it cannot to done by any human work but god almighty can do it by his omnipotent Grace to can bring you at the eleventh half past one min Ute of 12 he can bring you to the peace and the Joys of Tho glorious gospel. I must make application of this subject also to those who Are prospered. Have you my friends found that dollars and cents no permanent Consolation to Tho soul you Havo Large worldly resources but Havo you no treasures no heaven is an embroidered Pillory All that you want to put your dying head on you have heard people All last week talk about earthly values. Hear a Plain Man talk about heavenly. Do you not know it will to worse for you5 o prospered you reject Christ and reject him it will to Worso for you than those who had it hard in this world because the con Trast will make Tho discomfiture so much More appalling As Tho Hart Bounds Foi Tho water Brooks As the Ros speeds Down Tho Hillside Speed thou to Christ. Escape for thy life look not behind Thoc neither stay thou in All the Plain escape to the Mountain lest thou be i must make my application to another class of poor. When you can not pay your rent when it is due have you nobody but the landlord to talk to when the flour has gone out of the barrel and you have not Tou cents with which to go to the Jour children Ara tugging at your dress for something to Cut have you nothing but the world s charities to Appeal to when Winter and Thero Ara no coals and Trio Ash barrels Havo no More cinders who takes care of you have you nobody but the overseer of the poor but i preach to Yon a poor Man s Christ. If you do not Havo the Winter blankets enough to cover driving off t doctor of clears his territory a Sharp quack. Ilio fellow was a keen one am people of Tho county for Bort in Icli Moirs Iho Gino und Trio Sharp our immense by Koebbe removal you in Tho night i want to Tell of him who had not where to Lay his head. If you to on tic Bare flow. I want to Tell you o him who had for a Pillow a hard Cross ant whose foot Bath was the streaming blood of his own heart. Of you poor Man of you poor Wom an i Jesus understands your Case Alto Gether. Talk it right out to him to night get Down on your floor and say Lort Jesus Christ thou wast poor and i an poor. Help me. Thou Art Rich now an bring me up to thy do you think god would cast you off will he you might As Well think that a Mother would take Tho child that feeds on her breast an dash its life out As to think that Goc would put aside roughly those who hav fled to him for pity and compassion. Yea Tho Prophet says a woman May forge her sacking child that Sho should not have compassion on the son of her womb but. Will not forget till voyage of life. If you Havo Ever bean on the sea you have been surprised in the first voyage to find then Ara so Fow sails in eight. Some times you go along two three four five Havo a grand sphere there.
