LIGHT IX THE CLOUDS j! DR. TALMAGE SAYS WE MUST LOOK | FOR SUNSHINE. We Are Prone to Look on the Dark Side 1 of Life?Make the Eest of .Misfortune. ! Wealth Of.en Destroys ? The Youiig ' Man's Best Heritage ?Views of Heaven, j [Copyright. 1SS8. by American Press Association.] Washington, April 2-i.?This sermon of Dr. Talruago will have a tendency to take the gloom out of many lives and stir up a spirit of-healthful anticipation; text, Jtib xxxvii, 21, "And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds." Wind east. Barometer falling. Storm 6iguals cut. Ship reeling main topsail. Awnings taken in. Prophecies of foul weather everywhere. The clouds congregate around the sun, prosposing to abolish him. But after awhile he assails the flanks of the clouds with flying ar tillery of light and here and there is a sign of clearing weather. Many do net observe it. Many do not realize it. "And now men see not the bright light j which is in the ciuuas. in omer words, there are a hundred men locking for stcrru where there is one man looking for sunshine. My object will be to get yon and myself into the delightful habit of making the best of everything. You may have wonder*d at the statistics that in India, in the year 1875, th jre were over 19,000 people slain by wild beasts, and that in the year 1876 there were in India over 20,000 people destroyed by wild animals. But there is a monster in our own land which is year by year destroying more than that. It is the old bear of melancholy, and with gospel weapons I propose to chase it back to its midnight caverns. I mean rto do two sums?a sum in subtraction and a sum in addition?a subtraction from your days of depression and an addition to your days of joy. If God will help me, I will compel you to see the bright light that there*is in the clouds and compel you to make the best of everything. In the first place, you ought to make the very best of all your financial misfortuues. During the panic a few years ago you all lost money. Some of you lest it in most unaccountable ways. FGr the question, "How many thousands of dollars shall I put aside this year:" you substituted the question, "How shall I pay my butcher and baker and clothier and landlord':" You had the sensation of rowing hard with two oars and yet all the time going down stream. A Destroying Power. You did not say much about it because it was net politic to speak much of financial emoarrassuiem, ^uu? wife knew. Less variety of wardrobe, more economy at the table, self denial in art and tapestry. Compression; retrenchment. Who did not feel the necessity of it? My frieud, did you make the best of this? Are yon aware of how narrow au escape you made? Suppose you had reached the fortune toward which you were rapidly going? What then? You would have been as proud as Lucifer. How few men have succeeded largely r~ in a financial sense and yet maintained their simplicity and religious consecration! Not one man out of a hundred. There are .glorious exceptions, but the general rule is that in proportion as a man gets well off for this world he gets poorly cff for the next. He loses his sense of dependence on God. He gets a distaste for prayer meetings. With plenty of bank stocks and plenty of government securities, what does that man know of the prayer, "Give me this day my daily bread?1' How few men largely successful in this world are bringing souls to Christ, or showing self denial for others or are eminent for piety? You can count them all upon your eight fingers and two thumbs. One of the old covetous souls, when he was sick and sick unto death, used to have a basiu brought in?a basin filled with gold?and his only amusement and the odIv relief ho got for his inflamed hands was running them down through the gold and turning it up in the basin. Oh, what infatuation and what destroying power money has for rnanv a man! Now. von were sailing at 80 knots the hour toward these vortices of worldliness?what a mercy it was, that honest defalcation! The same divine hand that crushed your storehouse, your bank, your office, your insurance company, lifted you out of destruction. The day you honestly suspended in business made your fortune for eternity. "Oh," you say, "I could get along very well myself, but I am so disappointed that I cannot leave a competence j for my children." My brother, the same [ financial misfortune that is going to save your soul will save your childreu. i With the anticipation of large fortune, how much industry would your children have, without which habit of industry tbere is no safety? The vouug man would say: "Well, there's no need of my working. My father will soon 6tep out, and then I'll have just what I want." You cannot hide from him how much you are worth. Ycu think you are hiding it. He knows all about it. He can tell you almost to a dollar. Perhaps he has been to the county office and searched the records of deeds and mortgages, and he has added it all up, aud he has made an estimate of lrow long ycu will probably stay in this world and is not as much worried about your rheumatism and shortness of breath as you are. The only fortune worth anything that yen can give your child is the fortuue you put in his head and heart, ui an tne young zneu wuu stained life with $40,0U0 capital how many turned out well? I do not know half a dozen. The Best Inheritance. The best inheritance a young man can have is the feeling that he has to fight his own battle and that life is a struggle into which he must throw body, mind and soul or be disgracefully worsted. Where are the burial places cf the men who started life with a lortune? Some of them in the potter's field, some in the suicide's grave. But few of these men reached do years of age. They drank, they smoked, they gambled. In them the bea>t destroyed the man. Some cf them lived long enough to get their fortunes and went through them. The vast majority of then: did not live to get their inheritance. From the ginshop or house of infamy they were brought home to their father's house, and in delirium began to pick off loathsome reptiles from the embroidered pillow and to fight back imaginary devils. And then they were laid out in highly upholstered parlcr, the casket covered with flowers by indulgent parents? Sowers suggestive of a resurrection with no hope. As you sat this morning at your breakfast table and looked into the faces of your children, perhaps you said within yourself: "Poor things! How I wish I could start them in life with a competence! How I have been disappointed in all my expectations of what I would do for them!" Upon that scene of pathos I break with a paean of congratulation, that by your financial losses your own prospects fur heaven and the prospect for the heaven cf your children ire mightily improved. ruu may na\c ! lost a toy. but you have won a palace. 4 How hardly shall they that have 1 riches cuter iuto the kingdom of God!"' "It is easier fur a camel to go through a needle's eye thau for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." What does that mean? It means that, the grandest blessing God ever bestowed upon you was to take your money away from you. Let me here say. in passing, do not put much stress on the treasures of this world. You cannot take them along with you. At any rate, you cannot take them more than two or three miles; you will have to leave them at the cemetery. Atiila had three cofiins. ??o | fond was lie of this life that he decreed | that first he should be buried in a cohin ! rS ?':nd and that then that should be ill- l closed in a coffin of silver ami that | should be inclosed iu u coffin of iron, and then a large amount of treasure should bo thrown in over his body. And so be was buried, and the men who buried him were slain, so that no one 1 might know where he was buried and no one might there interfere with his treasures. Oh, men of tho world, v.ho want to take your money with you, better have threo coffins! Helpful Thought#. Again, I remark, you ought to make the very best of your bereavements. The whole tendency is to brood over these separations, and to give much time to the handling of mementos of the departed, and to make long visitations to the cemetery, and to say: "*Uh, I can never look up again. My hope is gone; luv courage is gone; my n ligicn is gone; my faith in Ciod is gone. Oh, the wear and tear and exhaustion of this loneliness." The most frequent bereavement is the loss of children. If your departed child had lived as long as you have lived, do you not suppose that be would have had about tho same amount of trouble and trial tbnt you have had? If you cculd make a choice for your child between 40 years of annoyance. loss, vexation, exasperation and bereavements and 4U years iu heaven, would you take the responsibility of choosing the former? Would you snatjh away the cup of eternal bliss and put into that child's hands the cup of many bereavements? Instead of tho ? - ? _? :i .1 complete safety into which uk;c c?m? has been lifted would you like to hold it dowu to the risksof this mortal state? Would you like to keep it out cu a sea iu which there have been more shipwrecks than safe voyages? Is it not a comfort to you to know that that child, instead of beiug besoiled and flung into the mire of sin, is swung clear into the skies? Are not those children to be congratulated that the poiut of celestial bliss which you expect to reach by a pilgrimage of oO or 60 or 10 years they reached at a flash: If the last 10,000 children who had entered heaven had gone through the average of human life cn earth, are you sure all those 10,000 children would have finally reached the blissful terminus? Besides that, my friends, you are to look at this matter as a self denial on your part for their benefit. If your children want to go oil in a May day party, if your children want to goou a flowery arid musical excursion, you consent. Ycu might prefer to have tbeni with you,.but their jubilant absence satisfies you. Well, your departed children have only gone out in a May day party, amid flowery and musical entertainment, amid jcys and hilarities forever. That ought to quell some of y jur grief, the thought of their glee. So it ought to be that you could make the best of all bereavemeuts. The fact that you have so many friends in heaven will make your own departure very cheerful.^^n you are going ou a voyage, everything depends upon where - - J it *i? ??? ,1,., your menus are?u imo uu hj\< wharf that you leave or on the wharf toward which you are going to sail. Iu other words, the more friends you have iu heaven the easier it will be to get away from this world. The more frieuds here the more bitter goodbys; the more frieuds there the more glorious welcomes. Seme of you have so many brothers, sisters, children, frieuds in heaveu that I do uot kuow hardly how you are goiug to crowd through. When the vessel came from foreign lauds and brought a prince to our harbor, the | ships were covered witlv banting, and }ou remember how the men-of-war [ thundered broadsides, but there was no I joy there compared with the joy which shall be demonstrated when you sail up tho broad bay of heaveuly salutation.

What is death ' to a mother whose children are in heav- | j en: Why, there is no more grief in it [ I than there is in her going iutoa nursery j ! amid the romp and laughter of her ; household. Though all around may be ' j dark, ut.e you not the bright light in the ! clouds?that light the irradiated facss j cf your glorified kindred? t the Wurnt of Thing*, So also, my friinds, 1 would liavo you make the l-e>t of your sicknesses. When you so* o.ie moveolF with elastic step and in fill physical vigor, sometimes you become impatient with yocr lame foot. When a man describes an object a mile oft, and you cauuct see it at all, you become impatient of your dim eye. When you hear of a well man making a great achievement, you become impatient with your depressed nervous system or your dilapidated he.filh. I will tell you how you can make the worst of it. Brood over it; brood over all these illnesses, and your nerves will become more twitcbv and your dyspepsia more aggravated, and your weakness more appalling. But that is the devil's work, to tell yon how to make the worst of it. It is mv work to show you a bright light in the clouds. Which of the Bible men most attract your attention? You say, Moses, Job, David, Jeremiah, Paul. Why, what a strange thing it is that you have chosen those who wero physically disordered! Moses?I know be was nervous from the clip) ho gave the Egyptian. Job?his hlond was vitiated and diseased, and bis skin distressfully eruptive. David? he bad a running sere, which he speaks cf when he says, "My scro ran in the night and ceased not." Jereuiiah had enlargement of the spleen. Who can doubt it who reads Lamentations? Paul ?lie had a lifetime sickness which the commentators have been guessing about l'or years, nut knowing exactly what the apostle meant by "a thorn in the flesh." I do net know either, but it was something sharp, something that stuck him. I gather from all this that physical disorder may be the means of grace to the soul. You say you have so many temptations from bodily ailments and if you were culy well yon think you could be a good Christian. While your temptations may be difi' rent they are no more than tboso of the man who has an appetite three times a day and sleeps eight hours every night. Views of Heaven. From luy observation I judge that invalids have a more rapturous view of the next world than well people and will have higher renown in heaven. The best vie*/ of the delectable mountains is through the lattice of the sickroom. There are trains ruuniug every hour between pillow and throne, between hospital and mansion, between bandages and roles, between crutch and palm branch. Oh, I wish some of you people who aie compelled to cry: "My head, my head! My foot, my foot! My back, my l-ack!" would try some of the Lord's medicine! You are going to be well anyhow before long. Heaven is an old city, but has never yet reported one case of sickness or one bill of mortality. JN o opiituaimia 101* iue eye. x\u pneumonia for the lungs. No pleurisy for the title. No neuralgia for the uc-rves. No rheumatism for the muscles. "Tho inhabitants shall never say, I am sick." "There shall be no more pain." Again, you ought to make the best of life's finality. Now, yon think I have a very tough subject. You do not see bow I am to strike a spark of light out of the flint of the tombstone. There aro many people who have an idea that death is the submergeuce of everything pleasant by everything doleful. If my subject could cicse iu the upsetting of all such preconceived notions, it would close well. Who can judge best of the features cf a man?those who are close by him, or those who are afar off? "Oh," you nay, "those can judge best of the features of a man who are close by him.' New, my friends, who shall judge of the features of death?whether they are lovely or whether they are repulsive? You? You are too far off. if 1 want to get a judgment as to what really the features of death are, I will not ask you; 1 will ask those who have been within a mouth of dtath or a week of death or an hour of death or a minute cf death. They stand so near the features, they can t il. They give unanimous testimony, if thev are Christian people, that death, instead of Lcing demoniac, is cherubic. Of all the thousands of Christians who have been carried through the gates of the cemetery, gather up their dyiug experiences and you will lind . they nearly ali bordered un a jubilate. How often yua have *eeu a dying man join in the psalm being sung around his bedside, the middle of the verse opening to let his ransomed spirit free, long after the lips could not speak looking | and pointing upward. Hoi Ciotl's liest Work. Some of you talk as though God had j exhausted hiinstlf in building this | world and that all the rich curtains he I cvtr made he hung around this planet : and all the flowers he ever grew he has woven into the carpet of our daisied i meadows. No. This world is not the j best thing God can do; this world is net the best thing that God has done. One week 1 the year is called blosj som we-.k?called so all through the | land because there are mere blossoms in that v.t ek than in any other week of , i the year. Blossom week! And that is ! what the future world is to which the Christum is invited?blossom week for, ever, it is as far ahead of this world as I paradise is ahead cf Dry Tortugas, and i yet here v. e stand shivering and fearing to go out-, and we want to stay on the dry sand and amid the stormy petrels, when we are invited to arbors of jas* ' mine and birds cf paradise. Ui.e season I hud two springtimes. I went to New Orleans in April, and I marked the dilTerence between going toward New Orleans and then coming : Lack. As 1 went on down toward New | Orleans the verdure, the foliage, became thicker and mere beautiful. When I came back, the farther I came toward home the less the fuliage, and less and less it, hrnumv until there was hardly MBBBnaaannnBai any. Now, ir ail depends upon the direction in which yen travel. It a spirit from heaven should come toward our world, he is traveling from June toward December, from radiance toward darkness, from hanging gardens toward icebergs. And one would not be very much surprised if u spirit of God sent forth from heaven toward our world should be slow to come. Hut how strange it is that we dread going out toward that world when going is from December toward June, from the snow of earthly storm to the snow of Edeuic I lossom, from the arctics of trouble toward the tropics of eternal joy. Uh, what an ado about dying! Wo get so attached to the malarial marsh i:i which we live that we are afraid to go up and live on the hiiitop. We aro alarmed because vacation is coming. Eternal sunlight and nest programme of celestial minstrels and halleluiah no inducement. Let us stay here and keep cold and ignorant and weak. Do not introduce us to Elijah and John Milton and Eonrdaloue. Keep our feet on the sharp cobblestones of earth instead of planting them on the bank of amaranth in heaven. Give us this small island of a leprous world instead of the immensities of splendor and delight. Keep our hands full of nettles, and our shoulder under the burden, and our neck in the yoke, and hopples on our ankles, and handcuffs on our wrists. "Dear Lord," wo seem to say, "keep us down here where we have to suffer instead of letting us up where we might iivo and reign and rejoice." Death In True Life. I am amazed at myself and at yourcoif f< r this infatuation under which we all re?t. Men you would suppose would Ret frightened at having to stay in this world instead of getting frightened at having to go toward heaven. I congratulate anybody who has a light to die. By that I mean through sickness you cannot avert or through accident [ you cannot avoid?your work consummated. "Where did they Lury Lily:" ! said one little child to another. "Ob," j she replied, "they buried her in the ! ground." "What! In the cold ground:" [ "Oh, no, no, nut i:i the cold ground, ! but in the waim ground, where ugly ! seeds become beautiful Uowers." "But," says some one, "it pains me j so much to think that I must lose the j body with which my soul has so long companioned." You do not lose it. You ! no more lose your body by death than j you lose your watch when you send it I to have it repaired or your jewel when j you send it to have it reset or the faded I picture when you send it to have it touched up cr the photograph of a friend when you have it put in a new locket. You do not lose your body. Paul will go to Rome to get his, Paysou will go to Portland to get his, President Edwards will go to Princeton to get his, George (Jcokmau will go to the bottom of the -Atlantic to get his, and we will go to the village churchyards and the city cemeteries to get oars, and when we have our perfect spirit rejoined to our perfect body, then we will be the J kind of men and women that the resurrection morning will make possible. So you see you have not made out auy doleful story yet. What have you proved about death? What is the case you have made out: You have made out just this ?tbat death allows us to bavoa perfect body, free of all aches, united forever with a perfect soul free from all sin. Correct your theology. What does it all mean? Why, it means that moving day is coming, and tbat you are going to quit cramped apartments and be mausioned forever. The horse that stands at the gate will not be the one lathered and bespattered, carrying bad news, but it will be the horse tbat St John saw in Apocalyptic vision?the white horse on which the King comes to the banquet. The ground around the palace will quake with the tires and hoofs of celestial equipage, and those Christians who in this world lost their friends and lest their property and lust their health and lest their life will find oat that God was always kind and that all things worked together for their good and that those were the wisest i>eoplu on earth who made too best of everything.

Then there is a paper which was discovered on the corpse of another of the victims, and on which had been hurriedly written the words: "I am about to die. 1 forgive those who are killing me. I am thinking of those who love me, and I hope to meet those who have loved me in heaven." There are, moreover, a number of souvenirs of the siege in the shape of uniforms, buttons, fragments of shells and so forth, and by no means the least remarkable feature of the collection is to be found in the specimens of the various articles made by the hostages while they were awaiting their doom in La Koquctte prison.
