DOOR OPEN FOR ALL. There Is Not * Monopoly liT tho Christian Religi?n. Ur. 1'aliunBo'? Timely Olncouric on ., Opouslon o? the Twentieth An V jitvcrnnvy ot tho Mowcry [ Mission in Now Yorl*. ICopyrlght, 1901, by Louis Klopaeh.] Now York. Jan. 20. " .On the occasion of tho twentieth an niversary of tho Bowery mission, Jan uary 13, Dr. Talmago preached to avast audience at the New York Academy of Music. Ministors of all denomina tions wero present. Tho text was, John 10:10:' "Other sheep 1 have which are not of this fold." There is no monopoly in religion. Tho grace of Clod is not a little property that wo can fence oft and have all to .mreelvM. It is not a king's park, at walch we look through a barred gate way, wishing that we might go in and see tho statuary and tho deer and the royal conservatory. Nos it is a Fa ther's orchard, and everywhere thero are bara that wo may let down and gates that wc may swing open. In my boyhood, next to the country schoolhouse there was an orchard of apples owned by a very lame mai., who, although there were apples in tho place perpetually decaying and by J ?cores and scores of bushels, ncvor j weuld allow any of tis to touch tho j fruit. Sometime? the Inda pf tho school in tho sinfulness of a ii attire Inherited from our first parents, who were ruined by thc same temptation, Invaded that orohard, but they soon re treated, for tho man came after them at a speed reckless of making his lome nese worse and cried out: "Boys, drop Dioso apples, or I will Bet the dog on you." ' . j Well, my friends, there are Christian men who have tho church under sevevo guard. Thero is fruit in this orchard for the whole world, but they havo a reugh and unsympathetic way of ac costing outsiders, ns though they had no business there, though thc Lord wants to come and take the choicest and tho ripest fruit on the premises, i Have you au idea that beeauso you were , baptized at eight months of ago. and i beeauso you have nil your lifo bean un der hallowed influenoos, you thero-1 fore have a righ,t to ono whole side of ? the Lord's table, sprcadiDg yourself Otti and taking up tho entire room?, I tell you no. You will have to haul in your elbows, for we will place on either ?ide of you those whom you nover ex pected would* sit there, for, aa Christ aald te His poople long ago, so Ho nays te you and to me: "Other sheep I have which aro not of this fold." McDonald, the Scotchman, hns,thou aands of hoad of sheep. Some of them are browsing on thc heather, some of them aro lying down under the trees, some are strolling over the mountains, some of them are in his yard. They are scattered all around in many places. Cameron, his neighbor, comes over and says "I see you hnve 3ft sheep. I have just counted them." "Xo," says Mc Donald, "I havo a great many more sheep than you found in this yard. Some are here, and rsomo are elsewhere. 1 have 4,000 or 5,000 in my flocks. 'Other ?heep I have which are not of this fold.' " Bo Christ says to ns. Hero is a knot Of Christians and there a knot of Christians, but they make up n small part of the flock. Herc ls the, Episco pal fold, the Methodist fold, the Luth eran fold, the Congregational fold, the Presbyterian fold, the baptist nnd the Pedo-Baptiftt fold, the only difference between these last two being tho way in which they wash tho sheep, and BO they are Bonttered all over. And we come with our statistics and say (here are so many thousand of the Lord's sheep, but Christ responds: "No, no; you have not seen moro than one out of a thousand of my flock. They aro scattered all over the eo'rth. 'Other aheep I hove which ara not of this fold.' ?' Of all tho merciful institutions which bless th!? city not one moro thorough ly enters into the spirit of tho text than doos tho Bowery mission, whose twentieth anniversary we to-day cele . brate. During the past year 3,000 souls have been saved through its instru mentality, and during its existence lt has put its temporal and rpiritunl henediotion upon hundreds of thou sands of the poor nud suffering and lost. With tho bread of this life in one hand and tho bread of eternal life in the other it is doing a stupendous work, and to nil of its patrons Christ ls saying: "I was hungry, and ye fed me, naked, nnd ye olothed me, sick nnd lu prison, and ye visited rn?. Inasmuch aa ye did it unto ono of tho least of these, ye did it to me." Jt is through this Qospol that Now York is to be taken for God, and America for God, and the world for God. Thero are two classes of hearers In this nudionce whom I espeoially address, the friends Of this institution who havo come out to show their Interest In the work, and the other class made up of thot?e who are astray, but want to get back, havo fallen, but want to rise. Wc need as churohes to get into sym pathy with the great outside world and let them know that none are so broken-hearted or hard beset that they will not be welcomed. "No," ?ayr?some fastidious Christian, "I do not like to be crowded in church. Do not put any one in my pew." My brother, whnt will you do in Heaven when a great multitude that no man can number as sembles? They will put ?0 in your pew. What are the people assembled in Christinn ohurches cornpnrcd willi the mightier millions outside? Some churches are like a hospital, that rfhould advertise that its patients must hav? nothing worse than toothncliB or run-rounds, but no broken heads, no crushed ankles or fractured limbs. Bring there for treatment moderato Passed tho Sonate. In tho nonato Friday thoro was a debato ovor two boura in longth, whiob finally rcsultod in a rofusal to ?trike out tho onaoting words of tho Charles ton exposition bill by a voto of 27 to 0, as follows: Yoas-Caugbman, Goodwin, Hern don, Hough, Sharpo.

A Mindon, La., spooial say1*: Thurs day at?Doylins, a station on tho Vioks burg, Shreveport and Paoifto railroad, about ten miles from boro, a young negro nsmod Larkington attempted as sault on tho wifo of a young farmer liamodij-Ktdon Walkor. Ho booamo frightened and ran away boforo ac complishing hjs purpoco. and whilo ho ing brought to tho Mindon Jail. was ovbrtakon and shot to pic?os by a oroWd shiners, velvet coated sinners and ein- ' ners with n gloss- o\. lt la na If tv mun hntl a fenn of 3,000 nevos and j>ut nil his work on one nero. He mlghtraise never KO largo ears of corn, never so big: bead a of wheat, ?tili he would remain poor. The church of God luis bestowed Ita "chief cure on one nero ?nd hus raised anU'Wrli/l men and women In thnt, ?mnll inciosure. Hut the iiold ls the world. That menus Europe, Asia, Africa; ' North and South America end nil the islands of thc sen, | I have to remark that tho Heavenly shepherd will lind many sheep ninld j thu nonohurchgocra. There aro eon- j gregnttons where they aro all Chris- ? tiann, and they seem to be completely finished, and they remind ono of the 1 skeleton leaves which by chemical preparation have had all the greenness and verdure tuleen off them and are left cold and whito and delicate, noth- j ing wanting but a glass case to put j over them. Thc minister of Christ has nothing to do with such Christians but to como once a week anti with ostrich feather dust oft the accumulation oT the last six days, leaving them bright and crystalline as before. But the other kind of church ls an nrmorj, with perpetual sound of drum and ilfe. gathering recruits for thc I/ord o? Hosts and saying to every applicant: "Ho you want to be on God's sirle, the snfo side and the happy side? If so, come in thc armory and get equipped, Hore is a bath in which lo be cleansed, Sere aro Bandaisto put on your feet. Here in a helmet for your brow. Here is a breastplate for your heart. Here is a sword for your right arm, and yonder is the battlefield. Quit your selves like men." I remark again the Heavenly Shep herd ls going to lind a great many of his sheep among those who are now re jecters of Christianity. Somo of the mightiest advocates of thc Gospel were oiico skeptics. Thomas C)iaimers once a skeptic. Hubert Hall a skeptic. Christmas EVaus a skeptic. Charle? G. Finney a skeptic. Paul, the apostle, once a skeptic. But when once with strong hand they-laid hold of thc Gos pel chariot they rolled it on with what momentum! I do not know how you carno to rejcot Christianity, lt may hays been through tho infidel f-alk of some young man in the store or shop ol factory, lt may have been through the trickery of some professed Christian man who drsgu/rted you with religion. It tu UT bo ihat av years ago you Iosi nil faith by what happened in -an oil company which waa formed amid the petroleum excitement. Tho com pany owned uo land, or if they did there was no sign of oil produced. But tho president of the company was a Presbyterian elder and the treasurer aa Episcopalian vctryman, and one director waa n Methodist class lendeT and the oilier officers prominent mem bers of Baptist and Congregational churches. Circulars were got out tell ing what fabulous prospects opened before this company. Tho circular lind nil the hue? of earth and nra and sky. Tho letters flamed with ?ll the beaut; of gold and jasper and amethyst. In nocent men and women who hnd a lil tie money to invest,?nd that little theil all, said: "I do not know nnythinr about this compnny, but so many goor men are at the head of it that it mus? be excellent and laking stock In i must be almost ns good ns joining th< church." So they bought their stoel nnd perhaps received one dividend ti keep thom still. But after nwhilo thc? found that the company had rc organ iaed and had a difierent president, i different treasurer mid different di rectors. Other engagements or nj overcoming modesty had caused th former officers of the company, will many regrets, lo resign, and nil Ihn th? subscribers for tho stock h-ad t story tot their Investment was a beau tlftilly orrvnmentc' oertiftoate. Some ti rn? s thnt man, looking over, his ol papers oomea ?oror-s that certificate and it is eo suggestive that he vows h want? none of the. religion that th president and directora of that oil oom pany professed. i Or jou may have become skept.icn I from the fact that you grow up In ; ' homo where religion was overdone Sunday was the most awful day in th week. You had religion driven int you with o trip hammer. You wer surfeited with prayer moating?. Yoi wcro stuff ed and choked with cate chisme. You were often told that yo wore the worst boy your parente eve knew beoause you liked to ride dow: hill bettor than to read Bunyan's "Pi! grim'a Progress." Whenever you father nnd mother talked religion the drew down -t,he corner? of their mouth ?nd rolled up their eyes. If any on thing will send a boy to ruin soone than another, that is it. But I do not stop now to know hoy you carno into rejection of Chriattar Hy. You frankly tell nie that you d reject it. .You do not bellevo that Chris ii a Divine being, although you adm! that Ho was a very good man. Yo da not believo tha.t the Biblo waa ir spired pf God, although you think ther are somo very fine things lu lt. Yo believe that thc Scriptural debcriptlo of Eden was only sn allegory. Thor are 60 things that I believe that yo do not believe, and yet you are an a< j commodating man. Everybody thn knows you says that of you. If I shoul ask you to do n kindness for mo or anyone else should ask of you a kine ness, you would do it. If, when yo aro ill, I should como to you with vial of medicine and say: "This kin of medicine cured 50 people who wei just ns badly off as you are; take it and you replied: "I do not want t take it; I have no confidence in it," would s*ay: "Take it to oblige me," an you would say: "Well, if lt will necon ?iodate you I will take lt." Now, ye have found that thia world i? in ru fi clent nnd you are sick of sin. I con to you with n Gospel medicine. It hi cured hundreds and thousands and mi lion?. Will you take it? "No," ye say, "I have no confidence in it." Tal I it,then,toob)igeinc. I tell you of a Ph, I Mamft&i tic ? ' . _; Bleeding Kansas'.

If you are not acquainted with tho ordinary modesof prayer, say lu ?substance: "O LO rd .lesli*, tvisls a strange thing tor mo to do. j know nothing about the formula? of reli gion. Those Christian peoplo have boen talking BO long about what thou canst do for mc I am ready to do whatever thou commandest me. If there bo any power iu religion, ns these people say, let rno have tho advantage of it." Will you not try that experiment? I do not now say there is anything in religion. Do not take my counsel or tho counsel of any clergyman, for you may dislike clergymen. Perhaps wo moy talk professionally. Perhaps wo may be prejudiced in tho ma I ter. Perhaps our advice is not worth tak ing. Then take tho counsel of some very respectable layman, aH John Mil ton, the poet; ns William Wilberforce, thc emancipator; as Isaac Newton, tho astronomer; as Robert Boyle, tho phil osopher; as Locke, the metaphysician; ns Morse, tho. teleg rapher ; ns Washing ton, tho statesman. They never preached or pretended to preach, yet, putting down ene his telescope and an other his parliamentarian's scroll and another his electrician's wire, carno forth and commended the voligion of Christ as tho best thing for thc eura of the world's woes. If you will not lake the recommendation of ministers of tho Oospel, tnko the recommendation of highly respectable laymen. Oh, men, skeptical and struck through with unrest I I beg you to como oil' that great Sahara desert of doubt into tho bright mid luxuriant land of Gospel hopo and pcaeo. You do not want your children to oomo ?ai) iri that skepticism. If you do not bellevo in .anything else, you believe in love-a father's love, a mottler's lovej a wife's Jove, a child's love. Then let ino tell you that God loves you moro than all these together. Tho great heart of ChHst aches to have you como in, and Ho looks into your oyes this Vuoment, saying: "Other sheep I bnvo which arc not of thin fold." Again, I remark that thc Heavenly Shepherd is going lo lind a great many of Ibo aheop among thoso who hnvo been full of evil habit, They Vrere all cheated into sin. The spider does not eay to thc fly: "Como into tho web vrl\?ro I kill insects." Ok, no. The spider says: "Dearest fly, como nud talk a niorniug walk with mo on this suspension bridge of gos samer glittering with dinmomlo of dew.." l)o not be hard on thone gonn astray, lt makes ino sad to see Chris* tinn people give up a prodigal as lost. There nie those who talk HS though thc grace of God were a chain of 40 or 50 links ?nd that when they lind run out there was nothing left to touch a bad ease. If they were hunt ing ?nd got off the track of thc deer, they would look longer among tho brakes and bushes for thc lost game than they would look for Hint lost soul. . * They talk about the catacombs of I Naples nnd tho catacombs, of Homo and tho catacombs of Egypt, th; great burial places under t li G city where-is thc dust of many genera tions passed on, but 1 tell you Now York has its cntneoinbs and Washing ton its catacombs and nil our cit ios their catacombs. They nra under ground liquor dives, full of dead men's bone? and all uncleanliness. There in no need of going into the art gallery to seo in skillful sculpture that won derful repr?sentation of a man nnd his sons wound round with serpents. Thero aro families represented hero to-dny ..that are wrnppod in tho mar tyrdom of fang and scala and venom, A living Laocoon of ghastliness and horror. Thero is only ono class of persons about whom I nm, disheartened, and they aro the Gospel hardened. They have been faithful in attendance at churches for 20, 30 and 40 yoar?, yet nover have surrendered themselves to God. As Christ sayo: "Publicans and harlots go Into tho kingdom of hoav ?n before them." They hnvo resisted all the importunity of divine mercy and have gono through most powor? ful earthquakes of religious feeling, and they are farther away from God than ever. After awhile they will li? down sick, and some day it will ba told that they aro dead. No hope! But I turn to outriders with an ex pectation that thrills through mc, body and soul. "Other shcop I have, willoh are not of this fold." You aro not (lo~,^l hardened. You havo not heard ?. .ny sermons during the last few years. You feel the Holy Ghost ; thia moment In your heart. You do not weep, but the tear is not far off, You sigh, r.nd j ou have noticed that there ia always a sigh in tho wind be? foro the rain falls. Thero aro thoso boro who would give anything if they could And relief in tears. Thoy say? "Oh, my wasted lifol Oh, tho bitter past! Oh, the graves over whloh I havo stumbled! Whither'shall I fly? Ala?, for tho future! Everything is so dark, so very dark I God help mel God pity mel" Thank the Lord for that last utterance. You have begun to pray, arid when a mnn begins to petition, God slops in and boats back tho hounds of temptation to their kennel and round about th? poor wounded soul puts the covent of his pardoning mercy. Hark I I hear something fall. What was that? It ls the bars of the fc.ioe around tho sheepfold. Tho Shepherd lets down the bars, and the hunted sheep of tba mountain bound in, some of them their fleece torn with brambles, soma of them their feet lamed with tho dog*, but bounding in. Thank God I "Other sbeop I have, willoh nro not of this fold." Mr. Andrew D. White, the United States ambassador nt Borlin, has beon elected a member of the Berlin Acad* erny of Science.
