FROM ALMOST UNNOTICED
Incidentof Olden Time Are Drawn
L? s?rng of Comfort and
Hcpefu'nets to AO
Ood's CLiidren.
From an unnoticed incident of olden
timo Dr. Talmago in this discourse
draws scrno oomfurtiDg and rapturous
lessons. Tho text is II Saniuol xix,
18, "And thcro rent ovor a ferryboat
to carrv over tho king's household."
Which of tho orowd is tho king?
That short nun, sunburnt and in fatiguo
dress. It is David, tho exiled
king. Ho has defeated his cnomios
and is now going home to rcHinio his
{alaco. Good! I always liko to see
>avid ooujo out ahead. But between
Liui and his home thcro is the oclebratod
rivor Jordan which has to bo passed.
The king is aooompanicd to tho bank
of the river by au aristocratic old gon
tlcman of 80 years, Barzillai by namo,
who owned a fine country scat at Uogolim.
Besides that, David has his family
with him. But how shall they got
across tho rivor? While they aro stand
iDg thero 1 see a ferryboat coining from
the other sido, and as it outs through
the water I sco tho faces of David and
his household brighten up at tho
thought of so 60on getting homo. No
sooner has the ferryboat stiuok tho
shoro than David and his family and
his old friend Baiziilai from Uogclim
get on board tho boat. Either with
spl&bhing oars at tho side or with ono
oar soulling at the stern of tho boat
they leave tho eastern hank of tho J or
dan and start for the western bar*.
Thai western bank is black with
crowds of people, who arc waving and
shouting at tho approaoh of tho king and
his family. Tho miliiary aro ail out
Somo of those who have boon David's
worst enemies now shout until they aro
hoarso at his return. No sooner has
tho boat struck tho Bhore on tho west
ern side than the earth quakes and the
heavens ring with ohccrs of welcome
and congratulation. David aud his
family and Baiziilai from Kogclim
step ashore. Kiog David acks his old
friend to go wnh him and live at the
palaoo, but Uarzillai apologizes and
intimatos that ho is iiilirm with ago
and too deaf to apprcoialo tho music,
and has a delicate appetite that would
soon bo cloyed with luxurious living,
and bo ho begs that D.?vid would lot
him go baek to his country Heat.
1 onoo heard the father of a president
of tho Uuitod States say that ho had
just been to Washington to boo his son
in tho Whito llouso, and ho told me of
tho wonderful things that occurred
there and of what Daniel Webster said
to him, but ho declared: ''1 was glad
to got homo. There was too much go
ing on thoro for mo." My father, au
aged uiau, made his last vipit at my
houso in Philadelphia, and after the
ohuroh Bervioo was over, and wo wont
homo, Rome one in tho houso asked
tho aged man how ho enjoyed tho sor
vioo. "Well," ho replied, "1 enjoyed
tho seivioc, but thoro were too many
pooplo there for mo. It troubled my
head very much." The fact is that old
peoplo do not like exoitement. It
King David had asked Barz llai HO
years before to go to the palaoe, tho
probability is that Baiziilai would have
oAlin Klli r% f\i rwvtxr 'Pbntr b ai?aI?
ftv/uv j wuv uv?fc nun . a iivj /vino taun
other goudby, a oustorn among mou
oriental, but in voguo yet whore two
brothers ]>ari or an aged father and a
ton go away from each other never to
moot again. Mo wonder that their lips
met as King David and old Barzillai,
at the prow ol the ferryboat, parted
forever.
This river Jordan, in all ages and
among all languages, has been the s>m
bol of the boundary iiuo between earth
and heaven. Vet when, on a former
occasion, I pre idled to you about the
Jordauio passage 1 have no doubt that
boluo of you debpoiidiugly said. ' The
Lord might havo divided Jordan for
Joshua, but not for poor uio." CI oer
upl 1 want to show you that there is a
way over Jordan as well as through it.
My text says, "And there went over a
ferryboat to oarry over the king's houao
hold."
All our oitics are familiar with the
fcrr>boat. It goes from San Francisco
to Oakland and from Liverpool to
Birkenhead, and twice every secular
day of thoweek multitudes are ou the
ferryboats of our great cities, po that
you will not need to hunt up a classical
dictionary to find out what 1 mean
utillA I ii m unnahi or t i\ v. n nlin.il I ho
passage oi David aud hid family across
the river Jordan.
My uubjeot, in the first placo, iui
presbCH uio with the faot that when we
cross over from this woild to the next
the boat will have to come from the
other bido. The tribe of Judah, wo
aro informed, bent thi> f. irj noal across
to get DaVid aud his household. 1
stand on the eastern side of tho
river Jordan, and 1 find no shipping at
all, but while 1 am standing there 1
Bee a boat plowing through tho river,
and as 1 hear tho swirl of the waters
and tho boat comes to tho eastern sido
of tho Jordau and David and his family
and his old friend step on boatd thai
boat 1 am mightily impressed with the
faot that when we crobs over from this
world to tho next tho boat will have to
?nmn frnm I hn nnniiHiln nlmrn
JfloHHcd bo God, there in a boat ooming
Irorn the other side! Transports
tion at last for our souisfrom the other
shore; everything about this gospel
from tho other shore; pardon from tho
other shore; meroy from tho other shore;
pity from the othor shore; ministry of
angels from tho other shore; power to
work miraoles from tho other shore;
Jesus Christ from tho other shore.
' This is a faithful saying and worthy
of all aoooptatiou that Christ Jesus
oame into the world to save sinners,"
and from a foreign shore 1 seo tho ferry
boat ooming, and it rolls with the
surges of a Saviour's suffering; but as it
strikes tho earth tho mountains rook,
and the dead adjust thoir apparel so
that they may bo fit to oome cut. That
boat tcuohes the earth, and glorious
Thomas Walsh gets into it in his ex
piriag moment, saying: "Hehas oomet
Ho has oomot My Boloved is mine,
end I am his." Good Sarah Wesley
got into thai boat, and as she shewed off
from the shore sho cried: ' Open the
gates! Open tbo gates! ' 1 blots God
that as the boat came from the other
sboro to take David and hismon across,
so, when wo ato about to die, tho boat
will oorne from tho saraodirection. God
forbid that I should ever trust to anything
that starts from this side.
Again, my subj ot buggoets that when
we cross ovor at tho lautho King will
bo on board tho boat Ship carpentry
in Biblo timoB was in its infancy. Tbo
boats wcro not skillfully rnado, and I
can very easily imagino that tho wotnon
and tho children of tho king's
household might havo boon norvous
about going on that boat, afraid that
tho oarsman or tho holmsman might
givo out and that tho boat might bo
its ? i ?
uAsncu on mo rocKs, an sometimes
boats vrcro dashed in tho Jordan, and
thon I oould havo imaginod tho boat
starting and rooking, and thoy orying
out: "Oh, wo aro going to bo lost.
Wo aro going down!" Not so. Tho
king was on board tho beat, and thoso
wouion and ohildron and all tho housohold
of tho kiDg know that ovory oaro
was takon to havo tho king?tho hoad
of tho ompiro?pass in safoty.
Now, 1 want to broak up a delusion
in your mind, and that is this: When
our friends go out from this world, wo
fool sorry for thorn bcoauco thoy havo
to go alone; and parents hold on to tho
hands of their children who aro dying
and hold on to somothing of tho iin
prcssion ttiat tho moment thoy lot go
tho littlo ono will bo in tho darkness
and in tho boat all alono. "Oh," tho
parent says, "if I oould only go with
my child, 1 would bo willing to dio a
half dozau times. L am afraid she
will bo loBt in the woodH or in the dark
noss; I mn afraid she will bo very tuuoh
frightened in the boat all aloDo." "I
break up tho delusion. When a soul
goes to hoaven, it docs not go alono;
tho King is on boarl tho boat. Wa^
I'aul alono in tho last extremity? Hear
tho shout of tho saorod missionary as
ho orics out, "I am now ready to bo offered,
and tho timo of my departuro is
at hand." Was .John Wesley alono in
tho last ex'roiuitj? No Hear him
say, "Host of all God is with us."
Was Sir Wtlliatn Forbes alono in tho
last extremity? No. Hoar him say
to bihlrioudB. "Tell all tho pcoplo who
aro coming down to tho bed of death
from my experionoo it has no terrors "
"Oh," say a great many pooplo, "that
does very well for distinguished Christians,
but for mo, a common man, for
mo, a common woman, wo can't ex
poot that guidanco and help." If 1
should givo you a paBeago of Horipturo
ihat would promiso to you positivoly
when you aro orossing tho rivor to tho
next world tho king would bo in tho
boat, would you bclicvo tho promiso?
1 Oh yes," >ou sav, "1 would. Horo in
tho promiso. "When thou passoflt
through tho waters, I will bo wiihtheo,

Christ to holp tho houI dowu tho baok

tho beach. Mo comforted about your
departod friends. Mo oomfortod about
your own domiso when tho timo shall
ooino. Tell it to all tho pooplo under
tho sun that no Christiau ovor dies
alone; the King is in tho boat.
Again, my text suggests that leav
ing this world for hoavon is only crossing
a ft.rry. Dr. Shaw estimates tho
average width of tho .Jordan to bo about
30 j aids. What, so narrow? Vcs.
'There wont over a ferryboat to carry
tho king's housohold." Yes, going to
heaven is only a Bhort trip?only a fer
ry. It may bo HO miles?that is 80
years- bc'oro we get to tho wot bauk
on tho other sido, but tho oroBsing is
short. I will toll ytm tho wh >lo soerot.
It is not five minutes aoroi-s, nor throo,
nor one minute. It is an instantaneous
transportation. I'eoplc talk as though
leaving this life, tho Christian wont
floundering and sw mining, tocruwl up
exhausted on tho other shore, and to bo
pulh d out of tho pelting surf as by a
lUmsgatc lifeboat No suoh thing It
is only a ferry. It is bo narrow that wo
CAn hail etch other from bank to bauk.
It is only four arms' longths across.
Tho arm of earthly farewell put out
from this sido Die arm of heavenly wcl
oouio put out from tho other sido,
while tho dying Christian, standing
mid?treaui, stretched nut his two ?r 11s
I ho one to take the farewell of earth,
and other to tako greeting of hoavon
That makes four arms' lengths across
the river.
M essed ho God, that when wc leave
this wot Id wo are not to have a great
and perilous onterpriso of getting into
heaven. Not a dangerous Franklin ex
pedition to find tho northwest passago
among ioobergs () ily a ferry. That
anoounts for something you havo ncv r
been able to und rs'.aud. You never
supposed that v ry nervous and timid
Christian pooplo could be so une\nted
and placid in tho last hour. The fait
is, thoy wore clear down on tho hank,
and they saw thcro was nothing to ho
(lightened about. Such a short distance?only
a ferry. With ono ear
they heard tho fuoeral psalm in their
.... ?ill. ?i.. ~?i? ?.v....
IU' Hi > I / I (III\4 . nun i IIU iKIItl fill I IIU>
heard the sor.j< of hoaxcnly ^a'u a ion
Tno willows ou thin sido of Jordan and
itio Lebanon cedars on tiio other almoit
interlocked their branches. Only a
ferry.
My BttVjoot also suggests tho faot
fact that when we cross over at the
last we shall find a solid landing. Tho
ferryboat as spoken of in uiy text
means a placo to start from and a plauo
to Ian 1. David and his poop'o did not
find tho eastern shore of tho Jordan
any more solid than the western shoro
whore ho landed, and yet to a groat
many heaven is not a real plaoo. To
you heaven is a fog bank in tho distance.
Now, my heaven is a solid
heaven. After tho rosurrootion has
oomo you will havo a resurrcoted foot
and something to tread on and a ros
urreotcd oyo and colors to seo with it
a rosurrooted car and musio to rcgalo
it. Smart men in this day arc making
a groat deal of fun about St. John's
matorialistio descriptions of heaven.
Well, now, my friends, if you will toll
ino what will bo the uao of a resurrected
body in hcavon with nothing to
tread on and nothing to hoar and nothing
to handle and nothing to taste tkon
I will laugh too. Aro you going to float
about in ether forovor, swinging about
your hands and feot through the air
indiscriminately, ono moment swelter
ing in the oenter of tho sun and tb
next moment shivering in the mount
* 4 . " *
alas of the moon? That is not my
heaven. Dissatisfiod with John's materialistio
heaven, theologioal tickers
are trying to patoh up a hoaven that
will do for them at last. I never heard
of any heaven I want to go to exoept
St. John's hoaven. I behove 1 shall
hear Mr. Toplady slog yet and Isaao
Watts reoito hymns aod Mosart play.
"Oh," you say, "whero would you got
tho orgau?" The Lord will provide tho
organ. Don't you boihor about tho organ.
1 boliovo I shall yot soo David
with a harp, and I will ask him to sing
ono of tho songs of Zion. I boliovo
after tho roBurrootion i shall soo Mas
sillon, tho groat Fronoh pulpit orator,
I X I -L.U V # a
uu tnnaii near irom ni8 own lips how
he folt on that day when ho proaobod
tho king's funeral sermon and flung
his wholo audionoo iuto a paroxysm of
grief and solemnity. I havo no pationoo
with your transoondontal, gol
atinous, gaseous heavon. My hoavon
is not a fog bank. My eyes aro unto
tho hills, tho ovorlasting hills. Tho
Kiog's ferryboat, starting from a wharf
on this sido, will go to a wharf on tho
othor sido.
Again, my suljoot toaohoa that when
wo oross ovor ai tho last wo shall bo
mot at tho landing. Whon David and
his family wont ovor in tho ferryboat
spokoD of in tho text, they landod amid
a nation that had oomo out to groot
thorn. As thoy stopped from tho dock
of tho boat to tho shoro thoro woro
thousands of pooplo who gathered
around them to express a eatisfaotion
that was boyond description. And so
you and I will bo mot at tho landing.
Our arrival will not bo liko stopping
ashoro at Antworp of Constantinople
among a crowd of strangors. It will be
among frionds, good friends, thoso who
aro warm hearted frionds and all thoir
frionds. Wo know pooplo whom wo
havo novor soon by hearing somebody
talk about thorn very much; wo know
thorn almost as woll as if wo had soon
thorn. And do you not suppose that our
parents and brothers and sisters and
obildron in hoavco havo boon talking
about us all thoso years, and tlking to
thoir friends? So that, I supposo, whon
wo oross tho river at tho last wo shall
not only bo mot by all thoso Christian
frionds whom wo know on earth, but
by all thoir frionds. They will oomo
down to tho landing to moot us. Your
departod frionds lovo you now moro
than thoy over did You will bo sur.,ria.wl

Lord tho day, tho hour, tho uiomont
when you aro ooming aoroas and that
thoy know now, but 1 do know that you

hung in tho tbronoroom of our
hoarls.
Oa starlight nights you look up?and
I supposo it is so with any ono who

Thoro vyts romanoo as woll as Chris
tianboauty in tho lifo of Dr. Adoniram
Judson, tho Raptist missionary, when
ho oonoluded to put ffom his wife, sho
to como to Amorioa to restoro horo
health, ho to go book to Huruia to
preach tho gospol. They had started
from Burma for tho Unitod Statos to
gother; but, gottTng uoar St. Holona,
iurs. duason was so much better sho
said: "Well, now I can got homo vory
easly. You go baok to liurtna and
preaoh tho gospel to thoso poor people.
I am almost well. I shall soon bo woll,
and then I will return to you." After
she had made that resolution, terrifio
in its grief, willing to givo up her bun
band for Christ's sako, sho sat down
in hor room and with trembling hand
wroto some oight or ton verses, four of
whioh I will now givo you:
We part on this green is'et, love?
Thou for the estern main;
1 for the setting sun love;
Oh, when to meet again!
When we knelt to see our Henry die
Hud heard his last faint moan,
Each wiped away tho other's tears;
Now each must weep alone.
And who can paint our mntua1 joy
When, all our wandering o'er,
We both shall c'asp our iurants three
At home on Burma's shore?
But h'gher sha'l our raptures glow
On )on celestial plain
When love I and parted here below
Meet no er to part again,
Sho folded that manuscript, a rolapso
of her dis aso came on, and sho died.
1)-. .Judson hags ho put her away for
I ore urrcclion on tho isle of St. Helena
They had thought to part for a year or
two. Now they parted forever, so far
as this world is concerned. And ho says
lie hastened on board after tho funoral
with his iiltlo ohiidrcn to start for I
Kin ma, for tho vessel had already lifted
her saiis. And ho says, "I hat down
for Kouio tiuio in my oabin my liitlo
ohildicn around mo crying, "Mother,
[mot herI" And I abandoned myself to
heartbreaking grief. But ono day tho
thought oauio across mo as my faith
stretched her wing that wo should moot
again in hoavon, and 1 was oomfortod."
Was it, my friends, all a delusion?
When ho died, did sho meet hi in at
ho landing? VVhon sho died, did tho
sooros of souls whom sho had brought
to Christ and who had prcoodad her to
heaven meet hor at tho landing? I boliovo
it; 1 know it. Oh, glorious ooqeolation,
that when our poor work on
earth is dono and wo orosa the rivor wo
shall bo mot at tho landing!

to the King's household? Mark
you, the text says, "And thcro went
ova a ferryboat to oarry over the king's
housohold," and nono but the king's
household. Then I ask, "Do I belong
to the household? Do you?'' If you do
not come today and bo adopted into
that household. "Oh," says somo soul
here, "I do not know whethortbe King
wants met" Ho does; he does. Hear the
voioe from the throne, "1 will be a

sons and daughters, saith the Lord
Almighty." "Him that oometh unto

in the oivil war an ono of Geo. Wado
Hampton's soouts, is to spend Christmas
with tho old gonoral at his homo
in South Carolina. Mr. Harris was a
young ohap in tho war and had hair
liko Buffalo Bill's. Tho olosost plaoo
ho was over in was when tho Yankco
got him. It was a hand to hand eombat
following a oavarly ohargo. Mr Harris'
soalp was rippod opon from tho top of
his head to tho base of his nook by a
sabro stroko and tho hair and soalp flapped
over into his faoo blinding him.
Even then ho would havo got his man
but for tho snapping of his pistol. As
it was, tho Yankco got him, and it
was a good many days beforo ho did any
moro scouting for Hampton. Gon.
Hampton and Mr. Harris have mot frequently
sinoo tho war, and they are just
tho sott of a pair to havo a good Christ
mas togother.
Now is tho timo whon oroup and
