OTHER 811EEP 1 lHAVE. GOD'S FLOCK IS NOT ALL WITHIN THE CHURCH'S FOLD. Dr. Talmuaigo Preaches a l'verfiul sermon to the Non-Churchgoers--Rasons IWhy Unbelievers Shouild Become Bellevers - All Way Yet Ilo Ssvod. BRooKL,YN, Jan. .-The following powerial sermon, addressed to non church-goers, was delivered by Dr. Tal mage this morning in the Academy of Music, this city, and again in the -even ing at the New York Academy of Music. Dr. Talniage's text was John X, 10: "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold.'' There is no monopoly In religion. The grace of God is not a nice little pro perLy fenced off all for ourselves. It is not a king's park, at which we look through i barred gateway, wishing- we, might go n and pluck the flowers aid look at the deer and the statuary. It is a father's orchard, ald there aei. har-s to let loWn and gates to swing 1penl. 11nve you ally idea that het*auIse ou1 were baptized at ei-g,ht mois ths (d :e, and because you have all yiour life Ceci surrounded by hallowm d inllu-ncvs, yoll have a ri-ght to mne hIIoIle sille of, tle lord's table, spreiadling yoursi-11, out so nobody (Ose cal sit 0j;-tcr Y'i will have to haiul inl ))our elbows, for there NN ill coline a great iuiiltittudt to sit at, tle. table and Ion i both .sides of vou. You 2are not going 14) have tlis Ionlopoly of reIigion. "0ther sheep have I which arie no)1ti oftIns fold.*~ McD)onald, the scotehman,XII has onl thle Scotch hils a great flock of sheep. Ale D1)onall has four or five thoulsaid head of sheep. Soie are browsinm- in tlie heather, Some are oil the hills, some are in tihe' valleys, a frew are in the yard. ()ne lay (acmie on comes over to mc i)onald and says : '"\h. Ic)oiald, you have thirt.V sheep. I have 1b'een couit lng them.'' "Oh, no!" says Me)oald. "I have thur or five thou.sand." Al!" says Ca m.111erol I. "you arie iIistaken. I Ihave just, countiied tlieI. There aret thirty."' "Why,'' says McDoll.ial, "Io you suppose that is all the shee lI hae? I have sheep on tle disfaiit, hills anld i the valleys, rangilig :iand( roaming ever where. Otfher sheep have I which are not ofthis fold.'' So Christ comes. Here is a groulp ol Christians, and there is a groip of Chris Wins; here is a Ilethodist f*o!, here is a Presbyterian fold, here s a l1apti.st fold, here is a Lutherai lohl, and we make our atmmal statistics, and we think we can tell you just how maln y ('liristians there are in the world. how many thieie are in the churcebl, how many in all these denloimlinatioins. We aggrega.e tlei, and we think we are civiing an infelligeit 1111d anl avecurale accounit; but ChriIst 'coIles an1d lie says: "You have Iot counted them iiht. 'T'liere are Ihose Whom1 you have Ieve(Ir "eenl, those of W8hom1 you have IleVer heard. I Iave my children inl all parts of the earth, onl a1l1 the islands of, the sea. on all the (.oil tinents, in all tie iouiltli ains anld inl all Val'eys. I)o you think that, these few sheep you ha1ve counted mI e all the sleen 1 have? There is a great multitude that no0 mita i ennmmber. ( ither sheep have I which are not of this fold.'' Christ, in my iext talks of the conver-C1 sion of the Gentiles as t'onidientlyv as though I hey had alrieadl y beenl '41 conert ed. lie sets foirthi the idea t hat his peoplle will come fromi a11 Parts oif thle earthI, fromi all I ages, fr omi all c tircumistances, fromi all eonitiionis. "() their sheiep have I which are not of this told.'' In thle first. place I remark the I lea v'enly Shephierdl will tii manyui of his sheep amonig thoise who arie at 1presenti nion-churchtenehs.

Quit yourselves like men.'' T1here ai'e those here, peihaps, wiho say, "It is now ten, fifteeni yearM sin1ce 1 was in the habit,. the reirular habit, of church going.'' I know all about your11 case. I am goinig to tell you somelthiing that will be startling at the first, and1( that is that you are going to become the Lord's sheep. "Oh.'' you say. "that is impossible; you don't know miy cause; you don't hnoiw how far 1 amti from anyi thuing of' that, kind.'' I know all about your case. I hav'e lieen upI and1( down the world/" I kniow why some of' you (1o "v ot aIAendf upon ('hristian servies. "*I go fur'thcr, and make another an nouncement in regard to you, and that. is, you are not only to become the Lcrd'e ..heep, but you are going to he-j come the Lord's sheep this hor'. (lodil is going to call you graciously by his spirit; you are going to come Into the fold of Christ. This sermon shall not be so much for those who are ChrIstians. I have preached to thetm hundreds and thousands of times. The sermon that, I preach now is going to he chiefly for those wvho consider thiemselves outsiders, but who may happen to be in the house, and the chief employment of the Chiris tian people here to-day will be to pray. for those who are not accustomed to at tend uponl Christfian sanctuarIes. You are now this hour ina the. title of' Christian Influences. You are going toI be swept In; your voice is going to be heard in p)rayer; you are going to be| consecrated to God; you are goIng to live-a life of usefulness, and your death bed is going to be surrounded by Chris tian sympathIzers, and devout men will carry you to your burial when your work is done, and thiese words will be chiseled for your epitaph: 'Precious in the sight of the Lord is the dleath of his saluts." And all that history is going to begin today. "Other sheep have I which are not of thIs fold." .ain I remark, the Heavenly Shep het4is ing to find many of his sheep AiO 4oSe noW teCters of dO :06 ho1W you ,ame to reject Christianity.
