DR. CHAPMAN'S SERMON
A SUNDAY DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED
PASTOR.EVANCELIST.
A Man Wlthoit a Country?*
Tost Which U the ftaddost Eipr???loii
PoMlbl* In Human Language? Pity
For Thoao Without a God.
New York Citt.?The Rev. Dr. J. Wil
bur Chapman, the noted pastor-evangel
ist, continue* to excite popular interest
by the series of remarkable sermons be ii
delivering in the Fourth Presbjrterian
Church. Apropos of patriotic cclebrationi
he has prepared the following diieonrM
for the preM. entitled "A Man Without a
Country." It is preached from the text,
Enhetians 2: 12. "Havina no hope and
without God in the world."
This is one of the saddest texts in the
New Testament, for while it describes our
own condition when we were alien* from
Chriiit and stranger* to the covenant and
promi?e of God. yet I take it in my presentation
of thin subject to describe those
who have wilfully rejected Cbri*t and
who have deliberately decided that thev
will not accept Him as a Saviour. With
thin interpretation put upon the Scripture
we ha*-e in the text the wddest expre**ion
po**ible in human language. I suppose
there ia no one of my hearer* to whom the
word* may be *trictly applied, for if we
take bone out of a man'* life it i? not
worth the living. Tbe young man mav
have failed yesterday. but he ha* hoped
that he mav *ticceed to-morrow; the bu*inew
man who ha* !o*t his fortune in the
wreck of pa?t day* is not di*couragcd because
hope buoys him up. nnd he is confident
that prosperity will be hi* oncc
again. Take hope from our live* and we
are of all men mo*t mi?erable. nnd if in
addition to being deprived of hope we
have no God we nre not enly hopele** for
hnnelen* alto for eternitv. for
since we were made to he filled with Ood
and all our being wc* no adjusted a* tn be
at tune to His nature, there is no sadder
pieture thin to be without Him. Some
rears aeo I eame acro?s that intere?*ing
and pathetic story written bv Edward Everett
HaV entitled "The Man Without a
Countrv." and it has furnished for me an
illustration of this text to which rour attention
is invited. I found in the man
who drifted everywhere acros? the sea
without being able to enter a harbor a
presentation of manv a man who has buried
Christ out of hi* life. The man wm
Philip Xoland by name. Whether the
story be truth or fiction it does not mat
tcr. for the illustration is the same. Thii
young lieutenant in the armv had come
under the influence of Aaron Burr, and he
had fascinated him. The young soldier
wrote to Burr long letters expressing hi?
hopes and his desires that he might serve
him. but had no letters from Burr in reply.
At laat he came one dav to see the
young man. and then his hold upon him
complete. The regular life of the soldier
became tame; be was utterly unfitted
for service. There came a time
when in company with others who were
also under the influence of Burr he must
appear before the array court to be tried
for misdemeanor. The others for one rea
soi. or another escaped sentence, bul
Philip Noland was pronounced guilty

thing to say why sentence shou'd not b?
passed nnon him because he had Wr
false to hio country and had sinned again*)
the United State*. His reply was an
oath, and in the presence of the court h?
cursed his country and said that h<
wished he might never again hear tb<
soind of the name United States; that h<
hat. ? is native land. The judge, with a
whi ?e. answered. "'It shall be as yoi
say. . subject to the approval of the
Pre*i?i * of the United States, you shal
never r ,n hear of your country." A1
this Phiiip Xoland laughed, but no on?
else did; there was a deathlike stillnesi
over the court. He was taken to New Or
leans, given over into the charge of s
commander of one of the vessels, with the
distinct understanding that no one wat
ever again to speak to him of the United
States, and he was to be allowed to speal
to no one of his old home. He was at
last put unon a Government vessel an*1
given quarters befitting his late rank. Il
was expressly stipulated that he wa* t(
be exposed to no indignity: he was not tf
be reminded of the fact that he was i
prisoner, and while he could wenr the uni
forn vet lie mu?t not have the buttons a'
the United State* Oo-ernment upon thi<
uniform. Indeed he wa* to be a mar
without a country from this time on. H?
was permitted once each dav to dine witf
the officers, but they did not care to hav?
him. because when he was present thei
alV n( Knmp' nndi?r no circum
stance* was he to ever ?w hi* countn
iwin and never was he to hear of it. H?
wan not perm?tted to go on shore wher
ever the landing might be. If he reac
books at all they mu?t contain no refer
ence to his home, and if he read the for
eipn papers it wa* only after some on<
had carefully nit out every reference t<
the United States. If the vessel upor
which he was a pa?pcngcr came ncai
bis country it must wait until it would b<
overtaken by another vessel going sea
ward. Philip Xoland became a passeng?*t
wit!i his face set away from his home. Il
has evrt1 been to me one of the saddest
illustrations I k.iow. and vef a perfect pic
ture of the man who has deliberately rc
jected Christ, has said. "I will not hav<
this man to rule over me." and who is
therefore, describfd by the word* of th<
text an "having no hope and without Got
in the wor'.d." v
I.
We have reiected Him. He has said it
Eis word. "He that i* not with Me ii
against Me." and not *o accept m to re
ject. It is true we hr.ve never said in *#
mar.y words that we would not have Hin
as our Saviour, but we have resisted thi
e-treatie* of the minister and snumer
t'?e prayer* of our loved ones, and whai
we have not been bold enough to say wit!
the lina we have said in our heart*. anr
God know;?h the language of the heari
as men know the language of the lips. ]
an very sure that Philip Noland did nol
mean what he said. He had spoken in i
passion, and I am perfectly positive tha<
no one here could for a moment rejeel
Christ if he felt that Christ would tak?
hin at his word, and possiblv he mighl
never have a chance again. Mr. Moodj
used to say that no one wanted to be ex
cu*ed. "Would vou sign a letter Itki
thi*y ke said. ''Sitting in the house o1
Go I thin Sunday evening I received i
pressing invitation from one of your serv
inU to be present at the Marriage Sup
per of the Lamb. I pray thee, have m<
excused." No one would sign it. Then
would you sign thin? "Sitting in thi
house of God this Sunday evening I re
ccived a pressing invitation from one o
your servants to be present at the Mar
riage Supper of the Lamb. By the grac?
of Ood I will be there." If you could bul
sign that there would be joy in heaver
and joy in your own heart.

We are bv nature afar off. Our heart)

scrond chapter of Epheeians we read
"But now in Christ Jesus. ye who tonit

it is mv privilege to say that by the erac<
of God you are brough nigh to Christ
This is true because you have been undei
the influence of the Spirit, and you maj
be naved if you will, but if you rcjec
Christ no word can describe this sin o
which you are guilty. In the Old Testa
ment the man who despised Moses' Go*
died without mercy among two or threi
enemies, of how much greater need o

III.
We begin to break away, r.ot by great
fin*, but by amall ?in?. Have you evei
noticed in the three venei in the tini
chapter of Romana that wonderful de
acription of a:n, indeed the mmt remark
able of any the world baa ever aeen. Ii
the 24th vene we read, "God gave then
U? 19 unvJcanncsa; in uic iota yctk
.... ....
"God gave them up to rile affection*."
while in the 28th verte we read. "God
pave them up to a reprobate mind." The
uncleanne** may have been ain of an inaig
1 nincant character; to be given up to vile
affection* ia to be permitted to act our
heart* upon those thing* which are not
rizht. and draw them to u? n* with hooka
k of ?teel. but to be given over to a reproi
bate mind i* to be hopeless. 1 make an
appeal to-'dav in behalf of thoae whose
live* arc in the leant touched by ain; it
ia a dangerous position.
IV.
Whtt ia the greatest ?in in .ill the cat.v
J logue an written in God's word? If thia
, question were put to men there would be
i almost as many answer* n* there are men.
, It is not impurity, nor dishonestr. These
| things are not even to be considered in
the light of the greatest sin of all, which
I is unbelief. When we read in the gospels
that the IIolv Ghost is to come, it is said
, that He will reprove the world of sin,
! and that sin is described as not believing
nn Him. To reject Christ, therefore, is
the chiefest of all transgressions.
V.
' Having no hope. I carnot imagine that
' any of my. hearers would for a moment
think of givinr way to unbelief or taking
' refuge in infidelity. That is. indeed,
' hopeless. It ia said that Adoniram .Tudson
when he was a student in Brown Uni!
versity came under the influence of a fel'
low student who was an infidel. On his
1 return to Providence at one time he was
obliged to stop at a country inn. The innkeeper
told nim he had but one room,
---> *k?? /-? n mitn who tr.ns ?un
ttUU lUllV n?J? UVA? ?v -. ...... ? ,
posed to dying. _ Judson cared nothing
for this, and said he would take the
room. All through the night he heard
thin man crying out to God for mercy,
hriekimt in terror because of hit unbelief.
and at last Judson utterly worn out fell
asleep. When the morning camf all was
({iiiet in the adjoining room, hut the man
wes dead. What was the student's horror
' to find nut that the dying man wax his
companion in infidelity, and when he camc
to the end there was no hope for him,
and infidelity prevailed him nothing. It
' is an awful thing to be without Christ in
the world.
VI.
1 Without God. If you conld imagine
1 God taken out of your life for a nonent
it would be a position of terror No one
1 would ever again say no to Him if they
realized that they might say no for fhe
1 last time. To have no help in temptation
and no comfort in the hour of sorrow.
1 and no support in the day of death would
indeed be an awful thing. A friend of
' mine told me of a man in the West who
1 had been constantly besought by his
friends to come to Christ, and had resisted
all their entreaties. He had been en* j
treated by God Himself as He called him i
1 in prosperity and in adversity, and at 1
last the calls became so marked that it j
was as if God had actually spoken to him.
' and at last in a heat of passion he cried
1 out as if he were speaking to God. "Ob.
' God, let me alone," and He did. and until
j the dav of his death it is said he never
[ again had even a faint dciire to go to
; Christ. It is dangerous to resist. God
pity the man who says no t<i Christ ard
1 speaks for the last time, and then comet j
' to the place where he had no hope and is
: without God in the world.

> of life, He made them very uncommon,
t says the Kev. Dr. 0. P. Gifford, the well*
r known pastor of ltuffalo. He took the
. common bread and said, "This is My
> body." He took the common wine and
r said, ''This ts My blood." The artist
i take* no his canvas and colors, and as
you Iook at ihe canvas you think of
nothing but the different colors of paint.
; When the artist combines them, you
, think neither of canvas or colors, but oi
the picture. Christ made the common
est things of hie sacrcd; He made rirudgf
ery divine; He makes every burden and
trial a stepping stone to life itself, and
? life a long, sweet psalm. This He does
t when you surrender everything to Him.
"Christ Can*) to San the Lost."
It is said of the brother of Whiteficld,
1 the great evangelist, that he was deeply
| despondent at tunes and felt his utter
worthies*lies* and helplessness. On such
" an occasion Lady Huntingdon availed her
self of the opportunity to speak with him
about his tout'* salvation and tried to induce
him to come to Christ.
? To all her pleas he answered, "Oh. it is
' of no use! 1 am lost! 1 am lost!"
"Thank t?i,d for that!" said she. "Why?"
asked the man in astonishment. "Be
cause," Mild Lady Huntingdon. "Christ
came to nvt? the lout, and if you are Io?t
' He ? just the One that can iive you."

America is the land of nervosa women.
The great majority of nervous women are

form of female disease. By far the greateat
number of female troubles are caused
by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh despair
of recovery. Female trouble is so
common, so prevalent, that they accept it
as almost inevitable. The greatest obatar ,
de m the way of recovery u that they do (
not understand that it ia catarrh which ia
the source of their illness. In female com- '
plaint, ninety-nine cases out of oue hundred
are nothing bat catarrh. Peruna ,
