FOR GOD'S CHILDREN. A Warm Welcome Awaits Those Who Faithfully Serve Him. s Or. Itlmii* Telia Whal Ik* Tr?? Dlaclpla of Ckrlat May Eiprtl I* Ik* Neat World ? II*warf of Srlf-SaorlOe*. <C*pyrtjht. 1>00. by bouts Klopach. N. T.) Washington, Jan. IS la a *?rj norel waj I>r. Talmaffe in this discourse describe* what ruuv be xpected in the next world bjr those who hero bend all their enerpiea in mi rignv uirrciion; irxi, n inrr i, 11: "For so nn entrance Khali be ministered nnto you abundantl}*." Different styles of welcome at the fate of lleaven are here suggested. We oil hops to enter that supernal capital through the grace that is ready to save even the chief of sinners. But not now. No man healthy of body and mind wants to go now. The man who hurla himself out of thle life is either an agnostic or is 4e mtnted or finds life insn(Ternble and does not enre where he lands. This is the l>est world wo ever got got into, and we want to stay here aa long as God will let us stay. But when the laj.t pugc of the volume of eur earthly lil^ Is ended we want enrollment in Heavenly citizenship. We want to get in easily. We do not war.t to be challenged nt the gate and asked to show our passports. We do rot want the gatekeeper in doubt as to whether we ought to go in at all. We do not want to l>e kept in the portico of the temple until consultation is made as to where we caine from and who we are and whether <? t. .nl. > ~ .. ~ i i.. ? discord in the eternal harmonies rr lower the spirit of Heavenly worship. When tho apostle Peter in tho text addresses the people: "For so nn entrance shall he administered unto t you abundantly," lie implies that ?ome will find admission into Heaven easy, rapturous and acclamatory, while others will have to squeeze through the gate of Ilenven, if they get in at all. They will nrrh* anxious and excited nnd apprehensive and wondering whether it will'be "Come!" or "Go!" The llible speaks of such persons as "scarcely saved," and in another place as '"saved as by fire," and in another place as escaped "by the skin of the tertli." Carrying out the suggestion of my text, I propose to show you what classes of Christians will get into Heaven with n hard push and those who will bound in amid salutations infinite. In the first class I put that man who gets into the kingdom of God at the close of a life all given to worldliness and sin. Years ago he made the resolution that ho would erro himself and serve the world until body, mind nnd soul were exhausted and then, just before going out of this life, would seek God nnd prepare to enter Heaven. He carries out Wl. !..i! It- ? I us icauiuiiun. jib prnuinrit ropenis the Inst day or the last hour or the last minute of his life. He takes the last seat in the Inst car of the last train bound Heavenward. His released and Immortal spirit ascends. Not one wing bears down toward him with a welcome. No sign of gladness at his nrrivnl. None there obligated to him for kindness clone or alms distributed or spiritual help administered. He will find some plnce to stay, but I do not envy that man his Heaven. Ho got in, but it was not an nbundnnt entrance. Sometimes In our pulpits we give a wrong turn to the story of the dying thief to whom Christ said: *'i.his day shnlt thou be with me in Paradise." We ought to admire the mercy of Christ that pardoned him in the last hour, but do not let tia adntS rn f a* /I v 1 n r? 4 Is ( a # XV1% * ..... ... V U|T|.<^ v.. IV*. U IICU IIV WIIH arrested, I think his pocket* were full of stolen coin, and the coat he hnd on his back was not his own. lie stole right on until he was arrested for his crimes. He repented, and through great mercy arose to Paradise, but he was no example to follow. What a gigantic meanness to devote the wondrous equipment of brain and nerve and muscle and bont with which we are endowed, these miracles of sight and hearing and speech, to purposes unworthy or profane, and then, through hasty repentance at the last, enter Heaven! Cheating God nil one's lifetime and then taking advantage of n bankrupt law and made free of ull ..abilities. I should think that some men would be ashamed to enter Heaven or would prefer some medium place in the wide universe where the palaces ara not so effulgent and the trees brar not more than six Instead of twelve manner of fruits and the social life is not so exalted. Again, the bigot will not hare what my text calls an abundant entrance. He hna his bedwarfed opinion as to what all must believe and do in order to gain celestial residence. He hna his creed In one pocket and his catechism in another pocket, and it may be a good creed and a goou catechism, but be uses them ns sharp swoTda against xnwifl wno wju nov Rccept his theories. You must be baptized in his way or oomt to him through npostolic siiceet ion or be foreordaineu of eternity, or you are In nn awful way. He shrivels . up and blirivels up and becomes more aplenetio until the time of his departure is at hand. He has enough of the salt of grace to save him, but his entrance into Heaven will be something worth watching. What do they want with hiin in Heaven, where they have all gone into eternal catholicity, one grand commingling of Methodists and Baptists and Episcopalians and Lutheruns and Congrcgationulists and Presbyterians and a score of other denominations just n? good as any I have mentioned? They all join In the A Bad Showing. Maine is a rigid Prohibition State, of many years standing. Tho row shoriff of Portland is a preaohrr, tho Rev Mr. Pearson, who is intent on onforoing the law, to whioh he pledged himself before his election. "He has disoovored that in order to make tho oily dry he must stop liquor selling at thirteen hotels, eighty-eight saloons, seventeen kitohen bars, three wholesale drug store*, fifty drug stores, four bottling establishments and about fifty other places whioh oannot be readiiy classified." I % I idleltijafc abofus. accompanied by , barpeia on tb?lr harps and trumpetI era on their trumpets: "Worthy *s j tbe Lamb that wit slain to receive blessing and riches and honor and I (lory and power!" The bigot ascends with jutt enough (race to save him. As he cornea up I to the shining guts he seca standing : inside of it some whom he used to meet every Sunday morning on the street going to some other church of some other denomination, and he cries out: "Are you there?" I never expected to see you in such a glorious place. You were all wrong in your religious theories on earth and in your form of church* government. How did you get in?" "Saved by grace," is the Heavenly reply. "Saved by grace!" The bigot is embarrassed and feel9 for his creed and his catechism, and, lo, they were loft on the bankw of the lliver Jordan as he passed through, and ho cries out: i I i lilttlr i u*! 11 bn va i r\ ? n I n r r\ n t lio name terms. Saved by grace! Saved by grace!" Again, the penurious Christian will not have an abundant entrance. Perhaps he was not converted tin til all his habits of tlght-fistedness were fixed beyond recovery. The people who nre generous were taught to be generous In childhood. You can tell from the way the boy divides the apple what his characteristics for generosity or meanness will be for the next SO years, if he j lives so long. If he eat it all himself while others look wistfully on, he will be a Shylock; if lie give lialf of it to some one who has no apple, lie will be an ordinarily generous man; if he give three-fourths of it to another he will be. a Karon llirsch or a George Peabody. For 30 years this man has been practicing an economy which prided itself on never passing a pin without picking it up, and if lie responded ut all in church would put on the collection plate so insignificant n coin that he held his liund over it so that no one could discover the smallnesa of the denomination. Somewhere in the fifties or sixties of liis life, during a revival of religion, he became a Christian. lie is very much changed in most respects, but his all-absorbing acquisitiveness still influences him. To extract from him a gift for an orphanage or a church or a poor woman who has just been burned out is an achievement. You and I know very good men, their Christian character beyond dispute, and yet they are pronounced by all as penurious, and they know it themselves and pray against it. >Yc all have our bad habits, and yet expect to get to Ilcaren, and this skinflint has his mighty temptation. The passion of avarice well illustrated, its strength when in one of the houses of exhumed Porupeii was found the skeleton of a man who was trying to escape with 60 coins and a silver saucepan. For those valuables he dared the ashes and scoria of Vesuvius which overwhelmed him, and many a good man has been held mightily by avarice. llut that brings me to the other thought of my text, that there are those who will, when they leave this life, bound into Heaven amid salutations infinite, "For so an entranee shall be administered unto you abundfintlr " Knr-ti ovnltnnt nHmlttum it 111 await those who enter Heaven after on earth living- a life for others and without reference to conspieuity. On the banks of t he Ohio or the Tuscaloosa or the Androscoggin is n large family, all of whom have been carefully and religiously reured. In the earlier l atagea of that family there were many privations. The mother of the household never had any amusements. Perhaps once in n year n poor theatrical play was enacted in the neighboring choolliouse or a squaw king concert in the town hall, and that was nil the diversion afforded for the winter season. I asked the manager of an insane asylum In Kentucky: "From what class of persons do you get most of your patients?" and he said: "From farmers' wives." 1 asked the same question of the manager of an insane asylum in I Pennsylvania, and the same question j of the manager of an insane asylum in Massachusetts, and got the same reply: "We have on our rolls for treatment more farmers' wives than persons coming from any other class." That answer will be a surprise to some; it was no surprise to me. The simple reason is, furmers' wives as a general thing have no diversion. It Is break, fast, dinner and supper, sewing, scouring, scrubbing, knitting, mending, year in and year out. That mother is the uiilliuer, the mantua maker, the nurse, the doctor, the accountant of the whole faiull}'. She plans the wardrobe of spring, of summer, of autumn, ! of winter, cutting, fitting, completing garments, out oI which the children soon grow and mftst have something else. The newspaper does not come, or, 1 if coming, there is no time to read it. I No selection of good books. The neigh| bors calling in are full of the same grinding routine. No wonder so many of them go Into dementia! ! Now, the mother of whom I speak as living on the banks of that riTer in Ohio or Alabama or Maine has gone through all the drudgery mentioned, and her children have turned out well, good and useful men and women, ornaments of society, pillars in the house of God, and that whole family, after the years have passed by and their work is done, will meet in the Heavenly country. From such a family some will certainly have preceded her, and the time of her expected arrival will be announced to all the members of that . family already glorified and to the old earthly neighbors who put down their toils a little sooner than she did, and she w ill have th# warmest kind of home coming. There is another kind of spirit who will have rndinnt admission to the upper dominion. There is a fact which ought to have most emphntie pronouncement. All over the world to-day there ure men and women of Killed Himself. Mr. PinoVnjy vVyatt, agod 17 yoan, committed suioido Thursday at noon at his heme at Oreors. Mr. Wyatt was a well known citir, n of that place. Ilo has for soveral voars past been in very had health and this naturally mado him gloomy and despondent and was perhaps the incentivo whioh led to this rath aot. H Burned in a Klat.

The checkbook In tha oltice drawer of that man ha* on ita stub* a story of be neflcenor clear up iuto the sublime. In nil the round of the world's suffering nnd ignorance and woe you cannot mention one worthy object to which that prosperous and good man has not made contribution. He is not irritated, ns many are, by solicitations for aim*. In some poor woman in thin ehnwl, holding In her arms a child with rheum In its eye#, this pood man sees the Christ who said: "Inasmuch na ye have done it unto one of the lenst of these, ye have done it unto me." w-11 4t,i. ? -? -? - ?t vmi ?iii? ? ??*? \/t cvunri:i uicd ninufiict is about to go out of this world. He feels in brnin and nerve the strain of tho early struggles by which he won his fortune, and at 63 or 70 years eollapsets uuder the exhaustions of the twenties and tliirtira of his lifetime. When the morning papers announce that he is gone, there is excitement not only on the nvenues where the mansions stand, but all through the hospitals and asylum* and the homes of those who will henceforth have no helper. But the excitement of sadness on earth is a very tame afYuir compared with the excitement of gladness in Heaven. The guardian angel of that good man's life swept by his dying pillow the night before, and on swift wing upward announced that in a few hours he would arrive, and there ie a mighty stir in Heaven "He comesl" cries seraph to seraph.
