The Brent Prencher Drawn Inspira tion Fro in a tloniel, I’hr.ise—Life, Spirit ual and 1‘hyaleal. !■ Divinely Protected. [Copyright, 1899, by American Press Asso ciation.] Washington, March 5.—Under the familiar image of a bundle Dr. Tulmago shows in this sermon the things which go to make up man’s earthly and heav enly life; text. I Samuel xxv, 29, "The soul of my Lord shall te bound in the bundle cf life with the Lord thy God. ” Beautiful Abigail, in her rhythmic plea for the rescue of her inebriate hus band. who died within ten days, ad dresses David, the warrior, in the words of the text. She suggests that his life, physically and intellectually and spirit ually. is a valuable package or bundle, divinely bound up and to be divinely protected. The phrase "bundle of life’’ I heard many times in my father's family pray ers Family prayers, yon know, have frequent repetitions, because day by day they acknowledge about tho same blessings and deplore about the same frailties and sympathize with about the same misfortunes, and I do not know why those who lead at household devotions should seek variety of com position. That familiar prayer becomes tho househcld liturgy. I would not give one of my old father’s prayers for 50 elocutionary supplications. Again and again, in the morning and evening prayer, I heard the request that we might all be bound up in the bundle of life, bnt I did not know until a few days ago that the phrase was a Bible phrase. Now. the more I think of it the bet ter 1 like it. Bundle of life I It is snch a simple and unpretending, yet express ive comparison. There is nothing like grandiloquence in the Scriptures. While there are many sublime passages in Holy Writ, there are more passages homely and drawing illustrations from common observation and everyday life. In Christ’s great sermons you hear a hen clucking her chickens together, and see the photographs of hypocrites with a sad countenance, and hear of the grass of the Held, and the black crows, which our heavenly Father feeds, and the salt that is worthless, and tho precious stones flung under the feet of swine, and the shifting sand that lets down the house with a great crash, and hear the comparison of the text, the most unpoetical thing we can think of—a bundle. Ordinarily it is something tossed about, something thrown under the table, something that suggests gar rets or something on tho shoulder of a poor wayfarer. But there are bundles of great value, bundles put up with great caution, bundles the loss of which means consternation and despair, and there have been bundles represent ing the worth of a kingdom. IlleBBed DoudleM. During the last spell of cold weather there were bundles that attracted the attention and the plaudits of the high heavens, bundles of clothing on the way from comfortable homes to the door of the mission room, and Christ stood in the snow banks and said as the bundles passed. "Naked, and ye clothed me. Inasmuch as ye have done it nnto one of the least of those my brethren, ye have done it nnto me. ” Those bundles are multiplying. Blessings on those who pack them. Blessings on those who dis tribute them. Blessings on those who receive them. With what beautiful aptitude did Abigail in my text speak of the bundle of life! Oh, what a precious bundle is life! Bundle of memories, bundle of hopes, bundle of ambitions, bundle of destinies! Once in awhile a man writes his autobiography, and it is of thrilling interest. The story of his birthplace, the story of his struggles, the story of his sufferings, the story of his triumphs! But if the autobiography of the most eventful life were well written it would make many chapters of adventure, of tragedy, of comedy, and there would not be an uninteresting step from cra dle to grave. Bundle of memories are you I Boy hood memories, with all its injustices from playmates, with all its games with ball and bat and kite and sled. Manhood memories, with all your strug gles in starting—obstacles, oppositions, accidents, misfortunes, losses, successes. Memories of the first marriage you ever saw solemnized, of the first grave you ever saw opened, of tho first mighty wrong you ever suffered, of the first victory you ever gained. Memory of the hour when you were affianced, memory of the first advent in your home, memory of the roseate cheek faded and of blue eyes closed in tho last sleep, memory of anthem and of dirge, memory of great pain and of slow convalescence, memory of times when all things were against yon. memory of prosperities that cam* in like the full tide of the sea, memo ries of a lifetime. What a bundle I I lift that bundle today and unloose the cord that binds it, and for a mo ment you look in and see tears and ■miles and laughter and groans and noondays and midnights of experience, and then I tie again the bundle with heartstrings that have some time vi brated with joy and anon been thrnm- med by fingers of woe. Ilopea and Ambltlfcna. Bundle of hopes and ambitions also is almost every man and woman, espe cially nt the starting. What gains he will harvest, or what reputation he will achieve, or what bliss he will reach, or what love he will win. What makes college commencement day so entrancing to all of us as we see the students receive their diplomas and take up the garlands thrown to their feet? They will be Faradays in science; they will be Tennysons in poesy; they will be Willard Parkers in surgery; they will be Alexander Hamiltons in na tional finance; they will be Horace Greelcys in editorial chair; they will be Websters in the senate. Or she will be a Mary Lyon in educational realms, or a Francoa Willard on reformatory platform, or a Helen Gould in military hospitals. Or she will make home life radiant with helpfulness and self sacri fice «nd magnificent womanhood. Ob, what a handle of hopes and ambitious! It is a bundle of garlands and scepters from which I wonld not take one sprig pf mignon a tte nor extinguish one spark of brillinfuje. They who start life with out bright hopes and inspiring Rtubi- tious might as well not, start at &11. foj every step will be n failure. Rainer would I add to tho bundle, and if I open it now it will not be because I wish to take anything from it. bnt Hint I may put into it more coronets and hosannas. Bundlo of faculties in every man and every woman! Power to think—to think of the past and through all the future, to think upward and higher than the highest pinnacle of heaven, or to think downward until there is no lower abysm to fathom. Power to think right, power to think wrong, power to think forever, for, once having begun to think, there shall be no terminus for that exercise, and eternity itself shall have no power to bid it halt. Faculties to love—filial love, conjugal love, pa ternal love, maternal love, love of coun try, love of God. Faculty of judgment, with scales so delicate and yet so mighty they can weigh arguments, weigh emo tions, weigh worlds, weigh heaven and hell. Faculty of will, that can climb mountains or tunnel them, wade seas or bridge them, accepting eternal en thronement or choosing everlasting exile. Oh. what it is to be a man I Oh, what it is to be a woman! Sublime and infinite bundle of faculties! The thought of it staggers me, swamps me, stuns me, bewilders me, overwhelms me. Oh, what a bundle of life Abigail of my text saw in David and which we ought to see in every human yet immortal be ing! Carefully Wrapped Up. Know also that this bundle of life was put up with great care. Any mer chant and almost any faithful house holder will tell you how much depends on the way a bundlo is bound. Tho cord or rope must bo strong enongh to hold. Tho knot must he well tied. You know not what rough hands may toss that bundle. If not properly put together, though it may leave your hands in good order and symmetrical, before it reaches its proper destination it may be loosened in fragments for the rvinds to scatter or the rail train to lose. Now, I have to tell you that this bun dle of life is well put together—the body, the mind, the soul. Who but the omnipotent God could bind such a bun dle? Anatomists, physiologists, physi cists, logicians, metaphysicians, declare that we are fearfully t^nd wonderfully made. That we are a bundle well put together I prove by the amount of jour neying we can endure without damage, by the amount of rough handling w r e can survive, by the fact that the vast majority of us go through life without the loss of an eye or the crippling of a limb or the destruction of a single ener gy of body or faculty of mind. I sub poena for this trial that man in yonder view 70 or 80 years of age, and ask him to testify that after all the storms and accidents and vicissitudes of a long life he still keeps his five senses, and though ail the lighthouses as old as he is have been reconstructed or new lanterns put in he has in under his forehead the same two lanterns with which God started him, andthongh tho locomotives of 60 years ago were long ago sold for old Iron he has the original powers of locomotion in the limbs with which God started him. and though all the electric wires that carried messages 25 years ago have been torn down his nerves bring messages from all parts of his body as well as when God strung them 75 years ago. Was there ever snch a complete bundle put together as the hu man being? What a factory! What an engine! What a mill race! W’hat a lighthouse! What a locomotive! What an electric battery! What a furnace! What a masterpiece of the Lord God Almighty! Or, to employ the anticlimax and use the figure of the text, what a bundle I Know, also, that this bundle of life is properly directed. Many a bundle has missed its way and disappeared because tho address has dropped, and no one can find by examination for what city or town or neighborhood it was intended. All great carrying companies have so many misdirected packages that they appoint days of vendue to dispose of them. All intelligent people know the importance of having a valuable pack age plainly directed, the name of the one to whom it is to go plainly written. Baggage master and expressman onght to know at tho first glance to whom to take it. A Valuable Package. This bundle of life that Abigail in my text speaks of is plainly addressed. By divine penmanship it is directed heavenward. However long may be the earthly distance it travels its destina tion is the eternal city of God on high. Every mile it goes away from that di rection is by some human or infernal fraud practiced against it. There are those who put it on some other track, who misplace it in some wrong convey ance! who send it off or send it back by some diabolic miscarriage. The value of that bundle is so well known all np and down the universe that there are 1,000,000 dishonest hands which are trying to detain or divert it or to for ever stop its progress in the right direc tion. There are so many influences abroad to rain your body, mind and soul that my wouder is uot that so many are destroyed for this world and the next, bnt that there are not more who go down irremediably. Every human being is assailed at the start. Within an hour of the time when this bundle of life is made np tho as sault begins. First of all there are tbe infantile disorders thai threaten the body just lannched upon earthly exist ence. Bcarlet fevers and pnenmenias and diphtherias and influenzas and the whole pack of epidemics surround the cradle and threaten its occupant, and Infant Moses in the ark of bulrushes was not more imperiled by the monsters of the Nile than every cradle is imperil ed by ailments all devouring. In after years there are foes within and foes without. Evil appetite joined by oat- tide allurements. Temptations that have utterly destroyed more people than now inhabit the earth. Gambling sa loons and rummeries and places where dissoluteness reigns supreme, enough in number to go round and ronnd and round the earth. Discouragements, Jeal ousies, revenges, malevolences, disap pointments, swindles, arsons, conflagra tions and cruelties, which make contin ued existence of the human race a won derment. Was any valuable bundle ever so Imperiled as this bndle of life? Ob, look at tbe address and get that bundlo going in tbe right way! "Thou shult love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and mind and strength.’’ Heaven with its 12 gates standing wide open with invitation. Ail the forces of tho Godhead pledged for our heavenly arrival if we will do t)ie right thing- AU ungelfiom ready for our advance and guidance. All the lightnings of heaven so many drawn swords for our protection. What a pity, what an everlasting pity, if this bundle of life, so well bound and so plainly di rected, does not come out at tho’right station, but becomes a lost bundle, cast out amid the rubbish of the universe Tvto TreuHiirc-a. Know also that a bundle may have in it more than one invaluable. There may be in it a photograph of a loved one and a jewel for a carcanet It may contain an embroidered robe and a Dore’s illustrated Bible. A bundle may have two treasures. Abigail in my text rec ognized this when she said to David, "The soul of my lord hTbonnd in tho bundle of life with the Lord thy God.” And Abigail was right. We may be bound up with a loving and sympa thetic God. Wo may be as near to him as ever were emerald and ruby united in one ring, as ever were two deeds in ono package, as ever were two vases on tho same shelf, as ever were two valu ables in the same bundle. Together in time of sorrow. Together in time of joy Together on earth. Together in heaven. Close companionship of God. Hear him, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, bnt my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall tho covenant of my peace bo removed, saith tbe Lord that hath mercy on thee. ” And when those Bible authors compared God’s friend ship to the mountains for height and firmness they knew what they were writing about, for they well knew what monntains are. All those lands are mountainous. Mount Hermon, Mount Gilboa, Mount Gerizim, Mount Engedi, Mount Horob, Mount Nebo, Mount Pis- gah, Mount Olivet, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount Lebanon. Mount Sinai, Mount Golgotha. Yes, we have the di vine promise that all those mountains shall weigh their anchorage of rocks and move away front the earth before a loving and sympathetic God will move away from us if wo love and trust him. Oh, if we could realize that according to my text we may be bound np with that God, how independent it would mako us of things that now harass arlfl annoy abd discompose and torment ns! Instead of a grasshopper being a bur den. a world of cure would be as light as a feather, and tombstones would be marblo stairs to the King’s palace, and all the giants of opposition wo would smite down hip and thigh with great slaughter. God tm Near. A God away up in the heavens is not much consolation to us when wo get in to life’s struggle. It is a God close by, as near to us as any two articles of ap parel wore near to each other in that bundlo that you sent the other day to that shivering home, through whose roof the snow sifted and through whose broken window pane the night winds howled. It was sanctified irony and holy sarcasm that Elijah used when ho told tho idolaters of Baal to pray louder, saying that their god might be asleep or talking or on a journey or gone a-hunt- ing. But our God is always wido awake and always hears and is always close by and to him a whisper of prayer is as loud as an archangel s trumpet, and a child’s “Now I lay me down to sleep” is us easily heard by him as the prayer of tho great Scotchman amid the high lands when pursued by Lord Claver- house’s miscreants. The Covenanter said, "O Lord, cast the lap of thy cloak about these children of tho cove nant. ’’ and a mountain fog instantly hid tho pursued from their bloodthirsty pur- suera I proclaim him a God close by. When wo are tempted to do wrong, when we have questions of livelihood too much for ns, when we put our dar lings into the last sleep, when we are overwhelmed with physical distresses, when we are perplexed abont what next to do. when wo come into combat with the king of terrors, we want a God close by. How do you like the doctrine of tbe text, "Bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God?” Thank yon, Abigail, kneeling there at the foot of the mountain, uttering consolation for all ages, while addressing David. No wonder that in after time he invited her to the palace and put her upon the throne of his heart as well as npon the throne of Judah. Know, also, that this bundle of life will be gladly received when it comes to tho door of the mansion for which it was bound and plainly directed. With what alacrity and glee we await some package that has been foretold by letter, some holiday presentation, something that will enrich and ornament onr home, some testimony of admiration and affec tion I With what glow of expectation we nntie the knot and take off the cord that bolds it together in safety, and with what glad exclamation we unroll the covering and see the gift or par- chase in all itu beauty of color and pro portion. Well, what a day it will be when yonr precious bundle of life shall be opened in the "house of many man sions, ” amid saintly and angelic and divine inspection! The bundle may be spotted with tho marks of much ex posure, it may bear inscription after in scription to tell through what ordeal it has passed, perhaps splashed of wave •nd scorched of flame, but all it has within undamaged of the journey. And V/ith what shouts of joy tho handle of life will be greeted by all the voices of the heavenly home circlet Welcome Awaits. In our anxiety at last to reach heaven wo are apt to lose sight of the glee or welcome that awaits ns if we get in at all We all have friends np there. They will somehow hear that wo are coming. 8uch close and swift and constant com munication is there between those up lands and these lowlands that we will not surprise them by sudden arrival. If loved ones on earth expect our coming visit and are at the depot with carriage to met ns. surely wo will be met at the shining gate by old friends now sainted and kindred now glorified. If there were no angel of God to meet us and show ns the palaces and gnido us to our everlasting residence, these kindred would show us tho way and point out the splendors and guide us to our celes tial home, bowered and fonntained and arched and illumined by a sun that never sets. Will it not be glorious, the going in and the settling down after all the moving about and upsettings of earthly experience? We will soon know all our neighbors, kingly, queenly, pro phetic, apostolic, seraphic, arebangelie. The precious bundle of life opened amid palaces and grand marches and accla mations They will all bo so glad we have got safely through. They saw us 4own here In the struggle. They saw ns when wo lost our way. They knew when we got off the right course. None of tho 82 ships that were overdue at New York harbor in tho storm of week before last was greeted so heartily by friends on the dock or the steam tugs that went out to meet them at Sandy Hook as we will be greeted in the heav enly world if by tho pardoning and pro tecting grace of God wo come to celes tial wharfage. We shall have to tell them of the many wrecks that we have passed on the way across wild seas and amid Caribbean cyclones. It will be like our arrival somo years ago from New Zealand nt Sydney, people sur prised that we got in at all, because we were two days lato, and some of the ships expected had gone to the bottom, and wo had passed derelicts and aban doned crafts all up and down that awful channel—our arrival in heaven all the more rapturously welcomed because of tho doubt as to whether wo would ever get there at all. God’a Proi Ine. Once there it will hi found that the safety of that precious bundle of life was assured because it was bound up with the life of God in Jesus Christ. Heaven could not afford to have that bundle lost because it had been said in regard to its transportation and safe ar rival, “Kept by the power of God through faith unto complete salvation. ” The veracity of tho heavens is involved in its arrival If God should fail to keep his promise to just one ransomed soul, the pillars of Jehovah’s throne would fall, and tho foundations of the eternal city would crumble, and infinite poverties would dash down all the chalices and close all the banqueting halls, and the river of life would change its course, sweeping everything with desolation, and frost would blast all tho gardens, and Immeasurable sickness slay tho immortals, and tho new Jerus alem become an abandoned city, with no chariot wheel on the streets and no worshipers in the temple—a dead Pom peii of the skies, a buried Herculaneum of tho heavens. Lest any one should doubt, the God who cannot lie smites his omnipotent hand on the side of his throne and takes affidavit, declaring, “As I live, saith tho Lord God, J. have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth.” Oh, I cannot tell you howl feel about it, the thought is so glorious. Bound up with God. Bound up with infinite mercy. Bound up with infinite joy. Bound up with infinite purity. Bound up with infinite might. That thought is more beautiful and glorious than was the heroic Abigail, who at tho foot of the crags uttered it, "Bound in tho bundle of life with tho Lord thy God!” Now, my hearer and reader, appreci ate tho value of that bundle, bee that it is bound up with nothing mean, but with the unsullied and the immaculate. Not with a pebble of tbe shifting beach, but with the kohinoor of the palace; not with some fading regalia of earthly pomp, bnt with tho robe washed and made white in the blood of the LamL Pray as you never prayed before that by divine chirography written all over your nature you may bo properly addressed for a glorious destination.

Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this coiSitry. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally dis covered a way to recovery, by pur chasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles has been abso lutely cured.

When grip attacks a person oi nerv ous temperament there is usually a groat depresion of spirits, the patient is plunged in despair, and no amount of argument or raillery has any effect on his misery. Tho man or woman whose nerves become so shattered that it is a torture to remain in bed, and tbe night is passed in a vain at tempt to get a little sleep is on the down grade to nerveous prostration, insanity and death. There is no time then to experiment with new and untried remedies. Neglect or delay in this respect may prove a fatal mistake. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is the best of all medicines for the nervous, tired out and sleepless victim of the grip just as it is the best remedy for all other weakness and disorder of the nerveous system.

"I was extremely nervous and al though I doctored with several physi cians I could not gain my strength. My nerves became so completely unstrunged that I could scarcely sleep at all, and I thought I should die. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine and in less than a week I was feeling very much better.
