The Chase Furnishes Dr. Talmage
a Timely Theme.
REFUGE IN GOD'S WORD.
For Those Pursued by Trials and
Misfortunes. The Gospel as
a Refreshment Graphically
Set Forth.
The gospel as a great refreshment is
here set foith by Dr. Talmagc under a
figure which will be found particularly
graphic by those who have gone out as
hunters to find game in the mountains;
text, Psalm xiii, 1, "As the licrt pantcth
after tho water brooks."
David, who must some timo have
seen a deer hunt, points us hero to a
hunted st?g making for tho water. The
fascinating animal, called in my text
the hart, is the same animal that in
sacred and profane literature is called
tho stag, the roebuck, the hind, the
gazelle, the reindeer. In central Syria
in Hiblc times there were whole past
uro fields of them, as Solomon suggests
when he says, "1 charge you by the
hinds of the field." Their antlers juttod
from the long grass as thoy lay
down. No hunter who has been long
in "John Hrown's tract" will wonder
that in the Bible they wetc classed
among clean animals, for the dows, the
snowcrs, tho lakes, washed the in as
clean as the sky. When Isaac, the
patriarch, tonged for venison, Kstui
shot and brought home a roebuck.
Isaiah compares the sprightlincss of the
restored cripple of millennial times to
the long andj quick jump of the stag,
saying, "The lame shall leap as the
hart." Solomon expressed his disgust
at a hunter who, having shot a deer, is
too lazy to cook it, saying, t'Tho sloth
ful man roastcth not that which he
took in hunting."
But one day David, while far from
tho homo from which lie had been
driven and setting near the mouth of a
lonely eavc where he had lodged ami on
tho banks of a pond or river, hears a
pack of hounds in swift pursuit. Be
cause of the previous silence of the
forest the clangor startle* him, arid he '
says to himself, "1 wonder what those
dogs aro after." Then there is a crackling
in the brushwood and the loud
breathing of somo rushing wonder of the
woods, and the antlors of a deer rend
tho leaves of the thicket, and by an in
etinct which all hunters recognize it
plunges into a pond or lake or river to
cool its thirst and at the same time, by
its capacity for swifter and longer swimming,
to get away from the foaming
harrieis.
David said to himself: "Aha! That
is myself! Saul after me, Absalom after
me, enemies without numbers after mo.
I am ohased, their bloody muzzles at
my heols, barking at my good name,
barking after my body, barking after
my soul. Oh, the hounds, the bounds!
But look there!" says David, "That
hunted deer has splashed into tho water.
It puts its hot lips and nostrils
imto the cool wave that washes tho
lathered flanks, and it swims away from
tho fiery canines, and it is free at last.
Oh, that I might find in the doep, wido
II a ai
iaao 01 Uod s mercy and consolation
escape from my pursuers 1 Oh, for the
waters of life and rescue! As the hart
pantoth alkor tho water brooks, so
panteth my soul after thee, () God. '
Some of you have just come from the
Adirondacks, and tho breath of the bal
sam and spruce and pine is still on you.
The Adirondacks arc now populous
with hunters, and tho deer are being
slain by the sooro. Onoo while there
talking with a hunter I thought I
thought I would like to see whether
my text was accurate in its allusion,
and as 1 heard tko dogs baying a little
way off and supposed they wore on the
track of a do r I said to the hunter in
rough corduroy, "J)o the deer always
make for the wator when thoy aro pursued?
' He said: "Oh, yes, mistor.
You see. they are a hot and thirsty animal,
and thoy know whcro the water is,
and when they hear danger in the distance
they lift their antlers and snuff
the breeae and start for llacquot or
Loon or Sarauac, and we get iflto our
cedar shell boat or standby the runway
with rifle loaded ready to blaze away."
My friend, that is one reason why I
like the Hible so much. Its allusions
aro so true to nature. Its partridges
are real partiidgeB, its ostriches real ostriches
and its reindeer real rcindocr.
It is a splendid appearance, that the
?_ . ! < m . * ? *
painier h pcaoii iaiis to sketch and only
a hunter's droam on a pillow of hemlock
at the foot of St, Regis is able to picture.
When 20 miles from any settlement,
it comes down at cventido to the
lake's edge to drink among the lilypads
and, with its sharp edged hoof, shatters
the crystal of Long lake, it is very picturesque.
Hut only when, aftor miles
of pursuit, with hearing sides and lolling
tonguo and eyes swimming in death,
the stag leaps from the cliff into Upper
Saranao oan you reali/.o how much David
had suffered from his troubles and
how much ho wanted God when he expressed
himself in the words, ".As tho
hart pantoth after the water brooks, so
panteth my soul after theo, O God."
There are whole chains of lakes in
tho Adirondacks, and from one height
you can see 30 lakes, and there are said
to be over 800 in the great wilderness.
8o near are they to caoh other that
your mountain guide picks up and carries
the boat from lako to lako. tho
small distance betwcon them for that
reason called a "carry." And the realm
of God's word is ono long chain of
bright, refreshing lakes, caeh promiso
a lake, a very short carry between them,
and, though for ages the pursued have
been drinking out of them, they arc
full up to tho top of the green banks,
and the same David describes them, and
they seem so near together that in thrco
different places he speaks of them as a
continuous river, saying, "There is a
river the streams whereof shall make
glad the oity of God;" "Thou shalt
make them drink of tho rivers of thy
pleasures;" "Thou greatly enrichest it
with tha river of God, which is full of
water."
But many of you have turned your
baok on that supply and oonfront your
trouble, and you arc soured with your
oircumstanoes, and you are fighting society,
and you are fighting a pursuing
world, and troubles, instead of driving

I would have dono worse. Hut
you are all wrong. You need to do as
tho ro'ndcer does in February and
Mareh?it shells its horns. The llabbinieal
vr'ters allude to this resignation
of antlers by tho stag when they
say of a man who ventures his money
in risky enterprises he has hung it on
the stag's horns, and a proverb in the

But very many of you who aro
wronged of tho world?and if in any
assembly botwocn tho Atlantic and
BaciQo oceans it were asked that all
who had heen hadly treated should raise
hoth their hands, and full rosponse
should he made, there would he twice
as many hands fitted as persons present
--1 say many of you would declare,
"Wo liavo always done tho best wo
could and tried to he useful, and why
wo bccomo ihe victims of inalignmout
or invalidism or mishap, is int-crutahlc."
Why, Jo you not know that the finer a
deer and the mom elegant its proper
tions and the more beautiful its hearing
the more anxious the hunters and
tho hounds arc to capture it? Had
that roehuck a ragged fur and broken
hoof* and an obliterated eyoand a limping
gait tho hunters would have said:
" l>ot t i * ' . i..? ?
i on4i w . i miii i u;i un ? iittiu uur am uiunition
on a sick deer." And the hounds
would have given a few srtiIfs of the
track and then darted ofr in another direction
for better game. Hut when
they sec a deer with antlers lifted in
mighty challenge to earth and sky, and
the sleek hide looks as if it had been
smoothed by invisible hands, and the
fat sides incloso the richest pasture
that could be nibbled from the bank of
rills so clear they seem to have dropped
out of heaven, and the stamp of its
foot defies the jack shooting lantern
and the rifles, the horn and the hound,
that deer thoy will have if they must
needs break their nceks in the rapids.
So if there were no noble stuff in your
make up, if you were a bifurcated nothing,
if you were a forlorn failure, y
would be allowed to g<> undistur ??
but the fact that the wholo pack i n.

that you arc splendid game and votth

in proportion to your great achievements.
The best and the mightiest
Being the world ever saw bad set after
him all tho hounds, terrestrial and diabolic,
and they lapped his blood after
tho Calvarcan massacre. Tho world
paid nothing to its Redeemer but a
bramble, four Hpikes and a cross. Many
who have done their West to make tho
world better havo had such a rough
time of it that all their pleasure is in
anticipation of tho next world, and
they would, if they could, express their
own feelings in the words of the Baroness
of Nairn, at tho close of her long
life, when asked if she would like ta
livo her life over again:
Would you be young again?
So would net I.
One tear of memory given
Onward I'll hio

All but at test on shore,

Willi home so nigh?
lfjou might, would you now
b el race your w ay,
Wander through stormy wilds,
l'aint and astray?
Night's gloomy watches tied;
Morning, all beaming red;
Hope's smile around us shed,
Heavenward, away!
Yos, for sonic people in this world
there seems no let up. They are pursued
from youth to manhood and from
manhood unto old age. Very distinguished
arc Lord Stafford's hounds and
the Karl of Yarborounh's hounds and
tho I hike of Rutland's hounds, hut all
of thom put together do not equal, in
number or speed or power to hunt
down, tho great kennel of hounds of
which Sin and Trouble are owner and
master.
But what is a relief for all those pursued
of troublo and annoyance and
pain and boreavemont? My text gives
it to you in a word of three letters, but
aeh letter is a chariot if you would
triumph, or a throne if you want to bo
crowned, or a lako if you would slake
your thirst?yea, a chain of three lakes
?G o-d, tho one for whom Dtvid longed
and the one whom David found.
You might as well meet a stag which,
after its sixth mile of running at the
topmost speed through thicket and
gorge and with the breath of the dojn
on its heels, has come in full sight of
Sohroon lako and try toeool its projoct
ing and blistered tongue with a drop of
dew from a blade of grass as to attempt
tosatifyari immortal soul, when Hying
from troublo and sin, with anything
less doep and high and broad and immense
and infinito and eternal than
God. Hisoonfort?why, it embosoms
all distress. II is arm? it wrenches olf
all bondage. His hand?it wipes away
all tears. His Christly atonornont?
it makes us all right with tho past, and
all right with the future, nnd all right
with God, all right with man, and all
right forever.
hainartinc tells us that King Nimrod
said to his thrco sons: "Here aro
three vases, and one is of olay, another
of amber and another of gold. Chooso
now which you will have." The eldest
son, having tho first choico, choso tho
vase of gold, on which was written tho
word "Empire," and when opened it
was found to contain human blood.
Tho second son, making tho noxt
choice, chose the vaso of amber, inscribed
with the word "Glory," and
when opened it contained tho ashes of
those who was once called great. The
third son took the vase of clay and,
oponing it, found it empty, but on tho
bottom of it was inscribed the name of
God. King Nimrod asked his courtiers
which vase they thought weighed tho
most. Tho avaricious men of his court
said the vase of gold, the poets said the
ono of amber, but the wisest men said
tho ompty vaso because ono letter of
^ T, '

the name of God outweighed a universe.
For liitn I thirst, for hie grace I beg,

blessed in I lie placo of nativity, hlesseu
in my health, blessed in my fo'ds of
work, blessed in my natural temperament,
blessed in my family, blessed in

that my soul will go to heaven through
the pardoning tncroy of Cod, nnd my

in Home conil igration, will lio down

but to mo it lias boon a
pleasant surprise, and yet 1 dcclaro that
if I did not feel that Cod was now my
friend and ever present help I should
he wretched and terror struck. Hut I
want more of him. 1 have thought
over this text and preached this sermon
to myself until with all tho aroused
energies of my body, mind and soul I
can cry out. "As the hart pantoth
after tlie water brooks, so pantoth my
bouI after tlieo, O Godr"
Through .lesus Christ make this God
your God, and you can withstand anytiling
and everything, and that which
ait rights others will inspire you?as in
time of earthquake, when an old Christian
woman, asked whether sho was
seared, answered, "No; 1 am glad that I
have a God who can shake the world,"
or as in a financial panic, when a Christian
merchant, asked if he did not fear
he would break, answered, "Yes; 1
shall break when the Fiftieth Psalm
breaks in the fifteenth verse, 'Call upon
mo in the day of trouble; I will deliver
thee, and thou shall glorify mo.'"
() Christian men and women, pursued
of annoyances and exasperations, remember
that this hunt, whether a still
hunt or a hunt in full cry, will soon bo
over. If ever a whelp looks ashamed
and ready to sink out of sight, it is
when in the Adirondaoks a deer by one
long, tremendous plunge into big Tuppea
lake gets away from him. Tho disappointed
eanino swims in a little way,
l,ut, defeated, swims out again anu
ringes with humiliating yawn at the
feet of his master. And how abashed
and ashamed will all your caathly troubles
be when you have dashed into the
river from under the throncof God and
the heights and depths of hcavon aro
between you and your pursuers!
Wo are told in llovolation xxii, 15,
"Without arc dogs," by which I con-l.-.K

uiuuu mere is :i whole kennel of hounds
outside the gate of heaven, or, as when
a master goes in a door, his dog lies on
the steps waiting for him to come out,
so the troubles of this life may follow
us to the shining door, but they cannot
get in. "Without are dogs." I have
seen dogs and owned dogs that I would
not he chagrined to sec in the heavenly
city. Some of the grand old watchdogs
who arc the constabulary of the houses
in solitary places and for years havo
been the only protection of wife and
child, somo of the shepherd dogs that
drive hack the wolves and bark away
the flock from going too near tho precipice
and some of the dogs whoso neck
and paw Landsecr, the painter, has
made immortal would not find me shutting
them out from the gate of shining
pearl. Some of those old St. Bernard
dogs that have lifted perishing travelers
out of the Alpine snow; tho dog that
John Brown, the Scotch essayist, saw
ready to spring at the surgeon, lest, in
removing the cancer, he too much hurt
the poor woman- whom the dog felt
bound to protect, and dogs that we caressed
in our childhood days, or that in
later time lay down on the ruginsooming
sympathy when our homes were desolated?
1 say if somo soul entering heaven
should happen to leave tho gate ajar
and these faithful creatures should
quietly walk in it would not at all disturb
my heaven. But all thoso human

"there shall be nothing to hurt or destroy

Oh when some of you get thero it
will belike what a hunter tells of when
he was pushing his canoe far up north
in the winter and amid the icc Hoes and
a hundred miles, as he thought, from
any other human beings. Ho was
startled one day as ho heard a stepping
011 the ice, and he cocked the rflc, ready
to meet anything that came near. lie
found a man, barofootcd and insane
from long exposure, approaching him.
Taking him into his caneo and kindling
fires i?> warm him. ho restored him,
found out where he had lived and took
him to his home and found all tho village
in groat exoitoment. A hundred
men were soarching for this lost man,
and his family and friends rushed out
to meet him, and, as had been agreed at
his first appearance, bells were rung,
and guns were discharged, and banquets
spread and the rescuer loaded with presents.
Well, when some of you step out
of this wilderness, whero you have been
chilled and torn and sometimes lost
amid the icebergs, into tho warm greetings
of all tho villages of tho glorified,
and your friends rush out to give you
welcoming kiss, the news that thero is
another soul forever saved will call tho
caterers of heaven to spread tho banquet
and tho bollmcn to lay hold of tho ropo
in tho tower, and while chalices click at
the feast and the bells clang from tho
turrets it will bo a sccoo so uplifting I
pray God 1 may bo thero to tako part in
the colostial merrimont. Aud now do
you not think tho prayer in Solomon's
Song where he compared Christ to a
reindeer in tho night would make an
exquisitely appropriate peroration 10

The Trouble Is Over for the Present.
But It May Break Out
Afresh at Any
Minute.
A special dispatch from ltarnesville,
Ga., to the Atlanta .Journal says armed
Negroos mobbed together and threatened
to burn that placo at nine o'clock
on Tuesday night of last week. The
Negroes vroro well armed and very boisterous,
although it is now believed they
were ruoro blurting than brave. All
night tho soldiers wcro on tho streets
of tho town, and every road leading
into Barnosvillc, was held by an outfiost
of soldiers, making it impossible
or any ono to enter tho city without
being detcotcd. As soon as the soldiers
appeared upon tho sccno tho Negroes
dispersed and nothing more has been

thoro iH littlo eonfidenco expressed and
tho feeling botwo.cn tho whit? people
and tho Negroes is very bitter.
Tho trouble grew primarily out of the
recent mill striko, when tho question of
Negro labor served to agitate tho citizens
of this placo. Only on tho surfaco
has the matter been smoothed
over, as the feeling anuHed by the action
has continued to exist and been
displayed in vuious ways. There has
been considerable talking among the
Negroes here, talking that did not bodo
well for Homo of tho white persons. On
Saturday night tome of these threats
and remarks of the Negroes reached the
cars of somo of the whito people of tho
town. Shortly after dark ono of tho
Nogroes was given a whipping. It is
understood that several other Negroes
wero summarily dealt with.
Feeling between the races here has
been approaching nearer blood heat
ever since, and Tuesday night tho culmination
came. As early as 1 o'clock
suggostivo remarks could bo heard that
the night premised to be an unusually
interesting one. Nogroes could be seen
at various parts of the town talking
with each other in an apparently absorbing
manner, and the matter was
fully discussed by thoso white persons
to whom an intimation of what might
come had been given. The majority of
it \T i ...
uie ivcgroes, However, were plainly
frightened well nigh out of their wits:
Servants asked to ho allowed to have
earlier suppers than usual that thoy
might get to their homos before anything
happened, and the better class of
Negroes employed in tho business part
of town sought thoir homes as soon as
work was finish jd. Some of the less
lawful of this dark continent, however,
remained upon tho streets. Veiled
threats were hoard, and in several instances
the stores keeping arms and
amunition were visited, and some of
tho NogroeB wcro seen 011 tho streets
with arms, while others arc practically
known to have carried arms concealed.
No 0110 can ho found who saw or heard
of any lawlessness or molestation on
the part of the whites. Many remained
in town cither at their work or out of
curiosity.
The culmination of the matter came
shortly after 9 o'clock. At about this
hour on tho outskirts of tho town in
tho neighborhood of one of the factories
scattering volley of shots was heard.
This set tho people to wondering. Soon
after a number of tho white people who
live in this vicinity caiuo into tho public
squaro and said tho Negroes were
over in that section from whence the
firing camo. They iraid they were making
threats and seemed prepared for
violence and that they came to ask for
protootion. Soon after this a body of
Nogroes, variously estimated at from .10
to 50, wero soon about tho edgo of the
town armed with guns, pistols And
clubs. Tho Negroes did not coino into
tho business or rcsidenco part of tho
city, but romained out in tho more
thinly populated section. It was at
this time that action was taken to insuro
proper protection.
Tho mayor was notiGed of tho stato
of alfairs. IIo at onco ordered out the
local militia and placod the town under
military rulo. Ho thon telephoned
Govornor Candler his action and roceivcd
tho governor's endorsement.
Tho Barnosvillo Blues (tho local military
company) woro then pickoted about
tho town ami no ono could como in or
go out until fully investigated. Tho
mayor then looked fully into tho matter
and left tho governing of tho city to tho
discretion of tho captain of the military.
Tho military remained on guard
until 2 o'olock a. in., when tho men
wero dispersed. Tho town, whilo normal
outwardly this morning, beneath
the surface is thoroughly stirred up
over tho affair. It is not known what
tho outoomo will bo, but there are thoso
who prodiot tho affair is not ended yet.
Tho utmost vigilanco will be exercised
by the oity authorities, and if ncce?sary,
tho mayor has expressed his determination
to offer a reward for tho

Leaf from the Past.
The following is from a Pennsylvania
paper, Col. Simonton's visit to Due
West is well remembered by many citizens
of that place: "Dr. \V. M. Crier,
president of lOrskine college, at Duo
West, S. C., died suddenly of apoplexy
Sunday.
"Dr. Crier paid a visit a few years
since to his benefactor, the late Maj.
S. C. Simonton, of the Fifty-seventh
Pennsylvania regiment, Clarksvillo. At
the battle of Williamsburg, tho fortunes
of war left the young Confederate,
Crier, a prisoner, seriously wounded,
in tho hands of Simonton's regiment.
The gallant and kind-hearted
o i i ?
ieuerai took compassion on tlie youth,
for lie was a mere lad in his teens, supplied
special surgical attention, and
when aide to be moved Simonton gavo
him money, every dollar ho possessed,
to aid the boy in reaching his southern
home, there to die in the arms of his
family, as Simonton believed, and has
often related the affecting story. For
more than twenty years Orier tried in
