We are all s\ ujjKitheiie with physical di
saster. but how little sympathy for spirituu
woes! There are men m this house who haw
come to midlife who have never vet been one*
personally accosted about their eternal wel
fare. A great sermon dropiiod into an audi
eiuv of hundreds e?f thousands will do it;
work; but if this world is ever to l?e brought
to (io-1 it^ will In* ihrough little sermons
preaehed to private Christians, to un audi
en<v of one. The sister's letter postmark**;
at the village?the word uttered in youi
hearing, half of smiles and half of tears? tbt
religious postcript a business letter?tbt
card left at the door when you bail some kinii
of trouble?the anxious look of some oiw
across a church aisle while an earnest sermon
was being preached, swung you into the
kingdom of Cod. But there are hundreds of
people in this house who will ta!;e tlie word
that David used in the past tense, and employ
it iu the present tense,mid cry out; "No man
cares for my soul."
You feel as you go out day by day in the
tug and jo>:I<- of life that it is every man for
himself. You can endure the pressure of
v commercial affairs, and would consider it
almost i in] >ert ;n<-lit for anyone to ask you
whether you are making or losing money.
But there have beeu times when you would
have drawn your cheek for thousands of dollars
if some would only help your soul out of
its perplexities, "fliero are questions about
your higher destiny that uche. and distract,
turn agou.ze }ou anunos. i,et no one suppose
that because yon arc busy all day with
hardware, or drygoods, or groceries, or grain,
that your thoughts are no longer than your
yard stick, and*.-top at he brass headed nails
of'the store counter. When you *p??ak once
about religious things you think 5,000 times
They call yoa a worldling. You are not a
_ i- s worldling. Of course you aro industrious
? and keep bu-y, but you have had jou'* eyes
d _ .oucucd to the realities of the nert world.
? Yfboi" i^ocT 1 wlNliiW
eartlilv engagements, and that you will take?
residence in a distant sphere where all your
business adroitness would boa suj>erfluity.
You sometimes think till your head* aches
about great religious subjects. You go down
the street with Your eyes fixed 011 the pavement,
oblivious of the pissing multitudes,
3'our* thoughts gone on eternal expedition.
Y'ou wonder if the Bible is tra<\ how much of
it is literal and how much is figurative law,
'if Cavist be God, if thee is anything like
retribution, if you are immortal, if a resurrection
will ever take place, what the occupation
of your departed kindred is, what you
will be years from now. With a cultures!
pla-idity of countenance you are on
tire with agitations of soul. < >h, this solitary
anxiety of your whole lifetime! Yrou have
sold goods to or bought them from Christian
people for ten years, and they have never
whispered one word of spiritual counsel. Y'ou
have passed up and down the aisles of
churches with men who knew that you had
no hoj>o of heaven, and talked about the weather
and about your physical health, and
about everything but that concerning which
you most wanted to hear them speak, viz.,
your everlasting spirit. Times without number
you have felt in your heart, if you have
not uttered it witii your lips, ''No man cares
for. my soul."'
There have been times when you were especially
pliable on the great subject of religion.
It was so, for instance, after you had
lost your projierty. You had a great many
letters blowing von up for being unfortunate.
Y'ou showed that there had boon a concatenation
of circumstances and that your insolvency
was no fault of yours. Your creditors
talked to you as though they would have 100
cents 011 the dollar or your life. Protest
after protest tumbled in on your desk. Men
who used to take your band with both of
theirs and shake it violently, now pass you on
the street with an almost imperceptible nod.
After six or eight hours of scalding business
anxiety you go home and you shut the door.
ipiV and throw yourself on the sofa and you feel
vt.? in a state of despair. You wish that some
^ one would come in and break up the gloom.
Everything seems to U> against you?the
i bnnK against v<>u. \our creonors against
j * you. Your friends suddenly income oritibV
cal against you. A!1 ;h?* past against you.
V All the future against you. You make re^
proa'-bful outcry: "No nun cares for my
soul!"
There was another occasion when all the
itoO'*s f,f v-Mrr h'ai" - v mg < ;? ?' for sacred
were compressed sickness, death btisequiesl
You we?< >o lonely that loo jioopl" fuming
*" ir.to the house- did not lavak up the solitariness.
You v.v?v alns<-t killed with the
domestic calamity. A few formal, jierfunctory
words of undulation u. re uttered <-u the
I stairs 1 ?? foiv you went to the grave: but v?>u
wanted some one f<? come aii?.l talk over t$r?
i whole matte]. and recite th" alleviations, ami
decipher the j. s>ojis of t!?- dark bereavement.
No on.* eame. Many a time v<>u could not

and then your .-iV-p was a troubled dream, it
which were re-enacted all the scene of sick
^ lies*, and parting, and dissolution. Oh, what
. days and nights they were! No man .seemed
^ to care for your >"ui.
There was another occasion when your
heart was v. i v susceptible. There wls a
great awakening. Th.-t* were liundreds of

0 No one care for your soul! Why, in all tne
:l ag?s there have Ikvu men whose entire bud
n j noss was soul saving. In this work Munson
j went down under the knives of the cannibals
, ; whom be had come to save, and Robert Moj
Cheyne preached himself to death by years
! of ago, and John Banyan was thrown into a
dungeon in Bedfordshire, anil Jehudi Ashj
man endured all the malarias of the African
jungle; and there are hundreds and thousands
j of Christian men and women now who arc
praying, toiling, preaching, living, dying, to
save souls.
s ! No one care for your soul: Havo you
t heard how Christ feels about it? I know it
. was only live or six miles from Bethlehem to
Calvary, the birthplace and the deatbplaeo of
1 { Christ; but who can tell how many miles R
. 1 was from the throne to the manger? How
, I many miles down, h<>w many miles back
, again? The place of his departure was the
focus of all splendor and jomp; all the
| thrones facing his throne; his name the
i chorus in every song and the inseri]>,
| tion on every banner; his landing place a
rattle j>en, maiodorous with unwashed brutes,
j and dogs growling in and out of the stable.
Born of a weary mother who had journeyed
eighty miles in severe unhealth that she
might find the right place for the Lord's nativity?born,
not as otlu-r princes, under the
j Hash of u cuandelier, but under a lantern
j swung by a rope to tl-o roof of tho barn. In
! that placo Christ started to savo you. Your }
j name, your face, your time, your eternity,
in Christ's mind. Sometimes traveling on
mules buck to cscapo old Herod's massacre,
sometimes attempting nervous sleep on the
chilly hillside, sometimes earning his breakfast
by the carpentry of a plow. In (^uaranj
taniu the stones of the lieid, by their shape !
( and color, looking like the loaves of bread, '
i tantalizing his hunger. Yet all the time |
i keeping on after you. With drenched coat '
I treading tho sarf at (ienessartt. Howie. 1 after
: by a bloodthirsty mob. Denounced as a
I drunkard. Mourning over a doomed city. '
I while others shouted at the sight of the sbimi
mering towers. All the time coming on and
j coming on to save you. Indicted as K-inga i

By dolorous arithmetic add up the stable, the
w intry tempest,, the midnight dampness, the
abstinence of forty days from food, the i
brutal Sanhedrim, the heights of Golgotha, j
across which all the hatreds of earth and all j
j the furies of hell charged with then- bayonet*,
; and then dare to say again th_*S no one cares
i for your soul.
A young man might as well go off from .
home and give his father and mother no intimation
n* to where ho lias gone, and, cross- '
j ing the sen*, sitting dpwn iti some foreign i
1 country, cold, sick aed; hungry and lonely, ,
' saying: "Mv fat!?er and mother don't cure I
nnvtliing about me.'' Do not care anything .
I alxiut him! Why. that father's hair has
j turned gray since his son went olf. He has !
! written to all the consuls i:i the foreign ports, f
1 asking about tliat s >n. Does not the mother
i care anything about hir.if He has broken her
heart. She has never smiled since he went
awav. All day long, and almost all n\ght.
she keeps asking: "Where is he! Wliera oa x

and the last thouglit in her prayer, ilu> tiv>t

i She savs: "Oh, (lod, bring back my lioy! I
j tnust, see him again before I 'lie. Where is !
hef 1 must soe him again before I\iie." Oh.
I d<> not his father and mother catv for him.'
( You go away from your Heawi.ly Father,
