HOUND IN A PACKAGE
BUNDLES OF LIFE THE SUBJECT OF
DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON.
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

Don't Experiment.
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. It attacks the minute germs
of impurity clustered in the blood and
thoroughly routs them out of every
hidden corner of the body.
"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. After taking six
bottles I was completely restored to
health.”
