CHAPMAN'S SERMON A SUNDAY DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED PASTOR.EVANCELIST. tabjMt: Reviving Old Cnstout?~l?ssflns From th? Life of I use?Ratter Hail H? Dl?4 Upon the Altar?No M(A So Bad i Some Parts of HI* Career. New York C:tt ? It r.iay now be stated ?s a fact that the sermons of the Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman are heard and read by more people than arc those of any American pulpit orator. His style seem* to have made a deep impression on that portion of the public which likes to read it* discourse in the weekly paper. For these admirers Dr. Chapman has prepared the following ?en?on. entitled "Reviving Old Customs." It is preached from the text Genesis 2rt: 18. "And Isaac dipsed again the wells of water which they had dipped in the days of Abraham, hi* fathmm " CI. There are three name* in the New Testament inseparably bound together. We rarely think of one without having immediately suggested to u* the name* of the other two. The?e three are Peter, James and John. They were specially chosen of Christ for conimicuous service, and were the particular object* of His divine affection. There are three names in the Old Testament quite as intimately associated, and one can scarcely speak the name of one of the three without finding himself running at once in vpeech to the other two. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob form the Old Testament trio. I do not know how familiar you are with the story of Isaac. I have found myself that I knew very little about him. I was quite familiar with the account of the intended sacrifice on Mt. Moriah, and the fascinating story of hi* meeting with Rebokah. but concerning other incidents of his life I knew very little. A* a matter of fact I<?aac doe* not show off to advantage between Abraham on the one *ide of him and Jacob on the other: Abraham because of what he was, the father of the faithful, and Jacob because of what he became, for by the w>wer of God be was changed from Jacob, the cheat, to Israel the prince, having power with God and with men. and one cannot beln but feel a* he read* the whole story of Isaac'* life that it would have been better for him had he died uoon the altar. Re made a snlendid start in life, but so did Noah and Lot. and so have many of you, but that i* not enough. At the be?' rareer Tim .10 (roe* awjV be vond the other? whose names I hsre mentioned. We are ?o taken np with Abraham and hia willingness to offer his ton that somehow we nave forgotten Isaac's willingness to be offered. He reallv made a splendid start, and w.i? a moat estimable young man. If we look at a ample verse in his career we say what an excellent man. and if we look nt others we find carpelves exclaiming, "How mean he is." and yet so it is with our own lives. Men most not be judged by one paragraph in our experience. Joseph Parker says. "Our life's story is not to be read throngh as if it were one sentence: it mast be broken ap into verses and they are strangely punctuated." We cannot take one verse oat of a man's life' and say that is the man. for one verse would make him too (rood, while another would make him quite too bad. I am very sure that yon are not unite so good as some acts of your life would lead men to believe. I am equally sure that no man is quite so bad as some part* of his life story would lead ns to think him. It is a great encouragement to know that the reading of the story of our lives is a matter of divine elocution. Some men read the most interesting book, ant! make it prosv. while others who know how to read read the most uninteresting production, and behold, it is thrilling. It is said that Edwin Booth could say the Lord's Prayer in such a way as to bring the tears to yoor eyes. What a joy it ia to know that onr story is to be read by one who read the scroll in the svn J a :? V. . w?? tV.t agOgUC, tnu rrmi iv nuvu ??-? men contested whether he ?v reading the old scroll or not. As He read* our lire*, humble though they itbv hare been, they will exnand into a noble eloquence. We are perfectly aafe with Hit interpretation of our acta. There, are pertain texts akin to thin. ??. for example. "Whoee fan is.in hi* hand." It ia a good thing that the fan is not in oar own hand* for we would be unjust. and equally good that it is not in our enemies' hand*, for their would he ofttime* cruel, but with the fan in Hi* hand there will come to us not one touch of discipline but what we need. The subject of well* ia interesting. In Oriental times a well of water was a fortune. When a king dug n well he became m famous as if be bad built a pyramid. Great battles were fought to gain possession of we1!* and mighty confluents *-agcd for their defense. Castles and towers were erected to secure their possession. Abraham dug at least four wells; bow many more I do not know, but these four were filled in by the Philistines. and it is with their reooening that we have to do in the text. I like to speak of wells because there is music in the very sound of the word. In Isaiah, the twelfth chanter, second and third verses, we read. "Behold. God is my salvation; I will trust, ana not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and mv song: he also ia become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall y* draw water out of the wells of salvation." This is not onlv an Old Testament figure, but a New. for Jesus said. "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall gire him shall be in him a well of - -* 1--4-* ! #? fS wawr ftpnnginc np lnio tvcr.auniu mr. John 4: 14. Therefore the gonpel is a well, and you have never had a drink of spring water aa you have been weary in your tramp np the mountain* or across the plain that could compare with the refreshing influence of a drink of the water of life from the well of salvation. Some of you have had sorrow. your heart* have Keen almost breaking, you have wondered where you might find help; stoop and drink this morning of this old gospel well. Some of you have failed, and indeed who has not in this awful struggle of life, but in yonr failure jrou have wondered if there could ever be restoration; stooo and drink this morning. and you will find that as von drink you will take in of His life, and this is the secret of victory over sin. Some of you are exceedingly weak, and you dare not trust yourself for another dav. I bid vou drink of the water of the well of salvation, and you will find a strange new strength taking possession of you. Isaiah 55: 1-2. I. These wells had names. It is a little sin gulur as we study the story of Abraham rud I?aac to hud the names given to the wells, and likewise singular that in tlieve names we find u revelation of our own ex periencc in tbe journey of life. First, the firnt well was named "Strife." We have ail bad a drink at this well. We have had it 111 our business as we have beeu striving lor success; we have met it in our homes as we have aimed to conduct them ax homes should ever be conducted. We might as well understand that as we dig wells ib tau? world w? must expect opposition. We cannot be let alone, and this . trife will come from one of three sources, rhaps from all three. First.?The worid. Jesus said to His "Ciplen. "Marvel not if the world hate We must expect to hear Irom the devil. It is rather old-fashioned in these davs to say that He has a personality, but I have had so many dealings with him myself, and have seen hut work so perfectly in the lives of others that 1 know he is a pen-on, but in many respects the greatest strile must tome from the tiesh, and 1 tind a hint ot this uj the story of Isaac. What envy was to Cain, and wine to Noah, and lewanes* to Ham aad wealth to Lot. the desire for venison was to Isaac, fur when he was dying and his thoughts should have been centered upon Jehovah he longs lor venison 'hat he may satisfy himself, aud the tory of his getting that venison and its being traded tor a birthright is one ot the ad bits of history of the Old Testament, but let it be known that whenever a man pampers himself and lives ior him?eif he u on the way to distress quite as great. Second.?"Hatred." This is a strange name for Abraham's well, but so he called it. Some ot Uk nave uwn mere, ana ulaa, bare taated of the bitter water*. It i* a ad thing to have hatred in your heart. "It hinder* prayer; becloud* heaver., lake* the angel out of your face; choke* the togg is your throat; gives your hands the wrong twist in writing letters, pat# between the ' lines which almost break* tbe heart of the ' reader." He who hates cannot aing. he catiuot pray, he cannot offer a sacrifice. Matthew 5: 23, "Therefore, if thou bring thy sift to the altar, and there remember , j est that thy brother hath aught against thecr." Do this and the song will retuni and God will accept the sacrifice. The bit- ; I ter waters of Morah were made sweet by j I the casting in of the wood of a certain : tree. I tell you of a tree on which Christ died; get the peace of this Christ into your experience, live for others, suffer for oth- | ers. die for others if reed be. and-the bit* i terncss ot your life will be instantly changed. I Third.?"Room." This, too, is a strange ' name for an Old Testament well, but with i the opening of this well the strife ceased, for instantly lyase had found the pace where God was willing be should stay. There is a place for every one to stand in this world. God so intended it. We have crowded men out of their positions in tlxfse days. It is true that with the formation and progress of great trusts there is little opportunity for some of us, but this is not in accordance with the plan cf God. Somewhere there is a well waiting to be discovered, and God expects you to drink and to be satisfied. It may be that that well is in a foreign land, perhaps it is in the slums of our own city, possibly it may be in your own home, and who knows but that it is in this church, only find God's plan for your life and help to fill it in and vou will be full of joy. Fourth.?"Covenant." This is the nam* which was given to the fourth well. We must pans through discipline. It is not necessary that we should complain about it for this is life. When Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians he said, "Whatsoever a man sowcth that shall he also reap," and this Scripture is frequently quoted as if it were for the unregenerate man. and while it may be applied to him it is for the Christian. We reap what we sow and how what we reap, in the light of this the wonder is we have had so little discipline. "Reckon up the prayers you ought to have offered and never spoke; the deeds you ought to have done and never accom{dished; reckon up all neglects, all of' ences against God and mar; all weakness of character and the wonder is that we have not been cut off altogether." But I summon vou to the well of the covenant and bid you open it op. What if we have discipline and trial when we stand by Him who declare*. "I will be with thee," and also explains to as. "That our light afflictions are but for a moment," and that aa they tarry, "they work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." 1 bring you good cheer this morning. "If God be for us, who can be against us?" II. But tou will notice that Isaac dined again toe wells of water which emphasizes my subject, "A Revival of Old Customs." I am very *ure that there are some old customs which in these days we need to have revived. First?The old custom of making the home a hav?n of rest, a type of heaven, and a place of refuge for all the members of the family circle. We greatly underestimate the powerful influence of home upon a young life. When Isaac went out to live for himself you will notice that he pitched his tent by the well Laharoi. I think this must have been because in his childhood's days with Hagar, his nurse, and Isbmael, his half-brother, he tarried there where Hagar must have told him the story of Jehovah, and it is just the natural inclination of his heart in his manhood days to so back where be may be reminded of the bacoy scenes of his childhood. Ton doubtless know of the boy sent as a waif from our city who was found in his, new western home tearing the lining out of bis cap. and when asked why he did it. he said, "It was my mother's dress and she loved me." I nave preached every WOC1C iV UICll lU ?UI? VVUUM/ ? ? ? * M?? a'ways found that there was one name that could stir the heart of the murderer in hi* cell, the gambler in hia den of iniquity, the outcast on the atreet. and that name waa "Mother." Nero"* mother waa a murderess, and (rare to the world the moat cruel man in hiatory. Lord Byron'a mother waa a proud, intellectual, worldly minded woman and ahe gave to the world the moat intellectual autocrat of hia day. George Washington's mother waa a good, plain, sensible woman and gave to America the father of hia country. We need better-, homea to-day. Our home* for our children should be aa our narenta' homes were for ua. If we go back to our home* to-day and atudy our children we will find that they have not a fault or a virtue that their parents have not got. Oh. for a revival of the old custom of having a family altar in a home where the father acts as a priest and the mother as a ?aint: we could stir the whole country for Christ. One of my dearest friends was profligate until he is a man crown. In a great western city he had determined to take bis life, threw himself down on hia bed to collect h:maelf before the awful deed, and jarred a little book oft from-a shelf just W-w! a?.<) etminl* Kim in tK? iiuurc IIIB UCU (tuu v I*vn HIM IM .... With an oath he threw it from hire, and then it dawned upon him that it was his mother's Bible given him to read. He walked across the room to pick it up just to show her some mark of respect, ana read upon the fly leaf written in her own hand, "Dear l>oy. vou can never get away /com your mother's prayers." Instead of feeing a self-murderer he became one of the country's greatest preachers. I wish that we might dig again the well that our fathers digged before us and make our home* like heaven. in. There are some wells that have been Ailed in in the past by those who are worldlv wise and this morning I seek to open them. First?I would open the well of the way of salvation. The Scripture declares that man is a sinner and deserves to die. but the same Scripture states that Jesus took our place and died in our stead. A heathen on account of his sins had walked for miles witn pebbles in his shoes that he might do penance, ut down to rest beneath a tree and heard a missionary preaching of Jesus, and cried out. "That is what I want; give me Jesus." Oh. if I could but open this well from which our fathers drank and make you see the Saviour treading the wine press alone, suffering for you until His heart strings all but snapped, dying in agony for you upon the cross, the man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Let us open this old well and drink of its waters. And then I would open the well of consolation for the afflicted. "Why do you mourn for your baby?" said a woman to her friend. "He is better off. Suppose he had lived and become a profligate and broken your heart with hi# sin.'' Away with all ?uch consolation. fal?elv so called. Your baby is with u:? =?

Your child is with the King, rejoice: he cannot come to you. but you may go to him. All things work together for good to them that love Cod." Stoop and drink this morning and go away refreshed. Then I would open the well of the preaching of the go?|>el. Dr. Talmage has aid in one of his sermons on this same test that w have stopped singing. "Come ye dinners poor and needy," for we have I leached the time when men do not count j themselves sinners. I would to (Sod that we might revive the old custom of preaching as men who preached in other days, i When Livingstone preached the sermon i that led 500 souls to Christ he was ?le- i cubing the human heart in its unclean- ! ness. \Vhen Edwards preached the ser* ! inon that stirred all New England his I theme was.
