Washington, Oct. 20.
lu this discourse l)r. Tulinage calls
nil people to gladness and opens all
thn doors of expectancy; texts, Genesis
vl., 18, "Come;" Revelations xxii.,
17, "Come."
Imperial, tend(\r and all persuasive
is the word "Come." Six hundred and
eventy-eight times it is found in the
Scripture*. It stands at the front
gate of tlie lllblc as in my first text,
iiiviting antediluvians into Noah's ark,
and it stunds at the other gate of the
Bible as in luy second text, inviting
the postdiluVia n? of all later ages
into the ark of a Saviour's mercy.
"Come" is only a word of four letters,
but it is the queen of words,
and nearly the entire nation of Kngglish
vocabulary bows to its scepter.
It is an ocean into which empties 10,
000 rivers of meaning. Other words
drive, but this beckons. All moods of
feeling hath that word "Come."
Sometimes it weeps and sometimes it
laughs. Sometimes it prays, sometimes
it tempts, und sometimes it destroys.
It sounds from the door of
the church ami from the. seraglios of
sin, from the gatesy*??-" 'Tlonven and
the gates of hell. \i is confluent and
accrescent of all piJwcr. It is the heiress
of most of 1 '#> past und the almoner
of mostyft the future. "Come!"
You may pr^Gunec it so that all the
heavens wj^rbe heard in its cadences
it so that all tho woes
and eternity shall reverberate
j its one syllable. It is on the lip
of saint and profiigutc. It is the
mightiest of all solicitants either for

1 will let down the fathoming line
Into this seu and try to inensuro its
depths, aud, though I tie together all
the cables and cordage 1 have on
board, I will not be able to touch bottom.
All the power of the Christian
religion is iu that word, "Come." The
dictatorial and commendatory in religion
arc of no avail. The imperative
mood is not the uppropria te
mood when we would have people savingly
impressed. They majr be
coaxed, but they cannot be driven.
Our henrts ore like our homes; at
a friendly knock the door will be
opened, but an uttempt to force open
our doors would land the assailant
in prison. Our theological seminaries,
which keep young men three years in
their curriculum before launching
them into the ministry, will do well
If in so short a time they can teach
the candidates for the holy office how
to say with right emphasis and intonation
and power that one word,
s. "Come!" That man who has such
-- efficiency in Christian work and that
^ woman who has such power to perv
suadu people to quit the wrong and
Vegin the right went through a series
ox losses, bereuvements, persecutions
and th? trials of VJO or 30 years bofore
they could make it a triumph of
grace every time they uttered the
word "Come."
You must remember that in many
cases our "Come" has a mightier
"Come" to conquer before it has any
effect at all. Just give me the accurate
census, th? statistics of hovr
many are down in fraud, in drunkenness,
in gambling, in impurity or in
vice of any sort, and I will give you
the accurate census or statistic* of
how many have been slain by the
word "Come." "Come and click wine
glasses with me at this ivory bur."
"Come and see what we can win at
this gaming table." "Come enter
with me this doubtful speculation!"
"Come with ine and read those infidel
tracts on Christianity." "Come
with me to a place of bad amusement."
"Come with me in a gay bout
i V. T- > > ? ... -
imuiign me underground life of the
city." If in this city there are 20,000
who are down in moral character,
then 20,000 fell under the power of
the word "Come." I was reading of
b wife whose husband had been overthrown
by strong drink, and she went
to the saloon where he was ruined,
and sho said: "Give me back nay
husband." And the bartender, pointing
to a maudlin and battered man
drowsing in the corner of the barroom,
said: "There he is. Jim, wake
up; here's your wife come for you."
And the woman said: "Do you call
that my husband? What have you
been doing with him? is that the
manly brow, is that the clear eye,
Is that the noble heart, that 1 married?
What vile drug have you given
him thnl v.: ? i ? - - - " "
*-- .* u uiui imu h ncna c
Take your tig-? r claws oi? of him.
Uncoil those serpent folds of evil
habit that are crushing him. Give me
back my husband, the one with whom
I stood at the altar ten years ago.
Oive hlru back to me." Victim was
he, as many millions of others have
bean, of the word "Gomel"
Now we want all the world over
to harness this word for good as
others have harnessed it for evil, and
it will draw the live continents and
the saas between thain?yea, it will
draw the whole earth back to God
from whom it has wandered. It i?
that wooing and persuasive word that
will lead men to give up their sins.
Was skepticism ever brought into
love of the truth by an ebullition of
hot words against infidelity? Was
ever the blasphemer stopped in his
oaths by denunciation of blasphemy?
Was ever the drunkard weaned frotu
hU cups by the temneranoe lecturer's
mimicry of staggering step and hiccough?
No. It was: "Coins with

rumeuiber that a few years ngo a
steamer called the I'rineess Alice, w it h
a crowd of excursionists aboard, sank
tin the Thames, und there wasun awful
sacrifice of life. A boatman from the
shore put out for the rescue, und he
had a big boat, and he got it so full it
would not hold another person, and as i
ho laid hold of tbe oars to pull for the
shore, leaving hundreds helpless and
drowning, lie cried out: "Oh, that 1
had a bigger boat!" Thank God that 1
um not thus limited and that 1 can i
promise room for all in this Gospel
boat. Get in; get in! And yet there i
is room. Kootn in the heart of a pardoning
God. Koom in Heaven.
1 also apply the word of my text to
those who would like practical comfort.
If any ever escape the struggle
of life, I hnve not found them. They
lire not certainly among the prosper
<>u* classes. In most cases it was a
struggle all the way up till they
reached the prosperity, and since they 1
have reached these heights there hnve ?
been perplexities, anxietles and crises
which were almost enough to shatter 1
t ho nerves n nd turn 1 he bra in. It would
he hard to tell which have the biggest
fight in this World, the prosperities or
the adversities, the conspicuitiea or
t-lie obscurities. .Just as soon as you
luoe enough success to attract the attention
of others the envies and jealousies
arc h t loose from their kennel. <
The greatest crime that you can com- ;
niit in the estimation of others is to
get on bet t er t han t hey do. They think
your addition is their subtraction.
Five hundred persons start for a goal
of success; one reaches it, and the other
four^hundred und ninety-nine are
mad. It would take volumes to hold 1
the story of their wrongs, outrages i
and defamations that have come upon
you as a result of your success. The
warin sun of prosperity brings into
life a swamp full of annoying insects.
On the other hand, the unfortunate
classes have their struggles for maintenance.
To achieve a livelihood by 1
one who had nothing to start with, and
after awhile for a family as well, and
carry this on until children nre reared
and educated and fairly started in tho
world, and to do this amid all t lie rivalries
of business und the uncertainty
of crops and the fickleness of tariff
legislation, with an occasional labor
strike and here and there a panic
thrown in, is u mighty tiling to do, und
there are hundreds and thousands of i
such heroes and heroines who live unsung
and die unhonored.
What we all need, whether up or
down in life or half way between, is
the infinite solace of the Christ ia n religion.
And so we employ the word
"Come!" it will take all eternity to
iiud out the number of business men
who have been strengthened by the
promises of God, and the people who
have been fed by the ravens w hen other
resources gave out, and the tnen and
women who, going into this buttle
armed only with the needle or saw or
ax or yardstick or pen or type or shove!
or shoe last, have gained a victory that
niada the heuvens resound. With all
the resources of Clod promised for
curery exigency, no one need be left in
the lurch.
But the word "t'oiue" applied to
those who need soluce will amount to
nothing unless it ha uttered by some
one who has expciieaoed that solace.
That spreads the responsibility of giving
this Gospel call among a great
many. Those who have lost property
aud have been consoled by religion in
that trial are the ones to iu\ite those
who have failed in business. Those
who have lost their health and been
consoled by religion are the ones to
invite those who are In poor health.
Those who have had bereavements and
been consoled in those bereavements
are the ones to sympathize with those
who have lost father or mother or
companion or child or friend. What
mill I i t lid on nf ll< u r? uHv? .....I
in good health and buoyant in this
journey of life who would have been
broken down or dead long ago but for
the sustaining and cheering help of our
holy religion! So we say, "Come!"
Tho well is not dry. The buckets are
not empty. The supply is not exhausted.
There is just as much mercy and
Condolence and soothing power in God
as before the first grave was dug, or
the first tear started, or the first heart
broken, or the first accident happened,
or the first fortune vanished. Those
of us who have felt the consolatory
power of religion have a right to speak
out of our own experiences and say:
"Cume 1"
What dismal work of condolence the
world makes when it attempts to condole!
The plaster they spread does
not stick. The broken bones under
their bandage do not knit. A farmer
was lost in a snowstorm on a prairie
of the far west. Night was coining on,
and after he was almost frantic from
not knowing which way to go his
sleigh struck the rut of another sleigh,
and he said: "i will follow this rut,
and it will take #.e out to safety." lie
hastened on until he heard the bells
of the preceding horses; but, coming
up, he found that tLat man was also
lost, and, as is the tendency of those
who are confused in the forest or on
the moors, they were both moving in
a circle, and the runner w/ the one lost
A Sad Accident.
Mr. Qeorge Edward* of Qreonvillo :
was aoeidentally shot Wednesday morn
ing by Riohard Jonkins whilo thoy wero '
hunting noar Cox's bridge on Saluda
river. Jenkins had fired his gun and
was reloading, and in some way the
gun was disoharged, the load of squirrel
shot entering the left log of Edwards'
ahovo the knoe. Jenkins ban- i
dagod the wound as best he oould and i
brought hisoompanion to the West End i
drug store where physioians were sum- |
nioned iuumidiatoly, but it was loo lain, j
aletgh was following the runner of
tho other lost sleigh round und round.
At lust it occurred to them to look at
the north star, which was peering
through the night, und by t he directlou
of that star they got houie again.
Those who follow the advice of this
world in time of perplexity are in a
fearful round, for it is onu bewildered
soul following unother bewildered
soul, und only those who have in such
time got their eye on the morning slur
of our Christian faith can find their '
way out or be strung enough to lead
others with an ull-pcrxuusive invitation.
"lint," says some one, "you Christian
people ki ep telling us to 'come,' yet
you do not tell us how to come." That
charge ahull not be (rue on this occasion.
Come believing! Come repenting!
Come praying! After all that God ^
has been doing for six I housund years, 0
sometimes through patriarchs and a
sometimes through prophets and ut (
lust through the culmination of ull tho ^
tragedies on Golgotha, can anyone
think that God will not welcome your 11
coming? Will a father tit vast outlay li
construct u mansion for his son and u
lay out parks white with statues and ?
green with foliage and all a-sparkle
with fountain* and then not allow hia c
son to live in the house or walk in tho f>
parks? lias God built this house of t
Gospel merej and will lie then refuse 'i
entrance to Jlis children? Will a gov- g
eminent at great expense build Ufa l
saving stations all ulong the coast und
boats that can hover unhurt like a t
petrel over the wildest surge and then, )i
when the lifeboat has ron<>ti?it it-. _
wreck of 11 ship in the offing, not allow fj
the drowning to seize the life line or t
take the boat for the shore in safety? J
Shall (iod provide at the cost of ilia
>nly Son's assassination escape for a ^
sinking world and then turn a deaf 0
par to the cry that comes up from the ^
breakers? ?,
"But," you suy, "there are so ninny s
things i have to believe and so many j
tilings in the shape of n creed that 1 ^
have to udopt that 1 am kept back." p
No, no! You ne< d believe but two ^
tilings?namely, that Jesus Christ 0
came into the world to save sinners q
and that you are one of them. "But,"
you say, "1 do believe both of those ^
things." Do you really l>e!ie\e them ^
with nil your heart? "Yes." Why,
then, you have passed from death into
life. Why, then, you nre a sou or a
daughter of the Lord Almighty. Why, ^
llicn, you arc an heir or an heiress of ^
wo inheritance that will declare divi- ,
dends from now until long after the ^
stars are dead. Halleluliahl Prince of
(lod, why do you not coma and take
your coronet? Princess of the Lord
Almighty, why do you not mount your n
throne? Pass up into the light. Your '
boat is anchored, why do you not go f
ashore? Just plaut your feet down 1
hard, and you will feel under them tha 0
Buck of Ages. 1 challenge the uni- c
verse for one instance in which a man *
in the right spirit appealed for the sal- *
ration of the (inspel and did uot get it. c
Man alive, are you going to let all the 1
years of your life go uway with you |?
without your having t his g rent peuee, n
ihis glorious hope, this bright expect- "
aucy? Are you going to let the pearl to
of great price lie in the dust at your b
feet because you are too indolent or *
too proud to (loop down nnd pick it B
up? Will you wear the chain of evil I
habit when near by you Is the hammer *
that could with one stroke snap the
shackle? Will you stay in the prison of t
sin when here is a Gospel key that 0
could unlock your incarceration? b
No, no! h

with us, and we will do you good." ?
"Come and see." "The Spirit and the *

of bells well tuned and rightly lifted y
and skillfully swung in one great ^

When ltussla was in one of her great 0
wars (lie suffering of the soldiers had 1
uccn long unci bitter, and they were
waiting for the end of the strife. One
day a messenger in great excitement B
run among the tents of the army, a
shouting: "Peace! Peace!" The sen- M
tiuel on guard ashed: "Who says f
peace?" And the sick man turned ou t
his hospital mattress and asked: "Who 1
says peace?" aud all up and down the ?
encampment of tl\e Russians went the
question: "Who says peuce?" Then
the messenger responded: "The czar ?
says peace." That was enough. That i
meant going home. That meant the (
war was over. Js'o more wounds and c
no more long marches. So to-day, as t
one of the Lord's messengers, I move f
through these great encampments of '
souls and cry: "Peace between earth :
und Ileaven! Peace between Qod and
man! Peace between your repenting t
soul and a pardoning Lord!" If you 1
ask me: "Who says peace?" I aui- j
swer: "Christ our King declares it." (
