The gospel as :t great refreslimttiit Is here set forth by Dr. Talmnge, under it llguie which will be found pnrtieulurly graphic liy tliose who have gone out as hunters to liiul game In the mouutulus; text, Psalm xlli, 1, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks.” David, who must somo time have se* n a deer hunt, points us here to a hunted stag making for the water. The fascinating animal, called In my text the hart, is the*same animal that in sacred and profane literature is call ed the stag, the roebuck, the bind, the gazelle, the reindeer. lu central Syria in Bible times there were whole pas ture fields of them, as Solomon sug gests when lie says, “I charge you by the hinds of the field.” Their antlers Jutted from the long grass as they lay down. No hunter who has been long in •‘John Brown’s tract” will wonder that iu the Bible they were classed among clean animals, for the dews, the showers, the lakes, washed them as clean as the sky. When Isaac, the patriarch, longed for venison, Esau i,lint and brought home a roebuck. Isninb compares the sprightliuess of tbe restored cripple of millennial times to the long and quick Jump of the stag, saying, “The lame shall leap ns the Lnrt.” Solomon expressed bis disgust. >it*a huuter who, having shot a deer, is e i lazy to cook it, saying, “The sloth- mi man roasteth not that which he took in limiting." But one day David, while far from iiio Ionic from which ho had been driven ami sluing near the mouth of a lonely cave where he had lodged and n the banks of a pond or river, hears a pack of hounds In swift pursuit. Be cause of the previous-silence of the for- rst the clangor startles him, and he snvs to himself, “1 wonder what those i d dogs are alter. >!• ” Then there Is a J. E.

True to Mrture. David says to himself: "Aha! That is myself! Saul after me. Absalom after me. enemies without number aft er me. 1 am chased, their bloody muz zles at my heels, harking at my good name, barking after my body, barking after my soul. Oh, tlie hounds, the hounds! But look there!” says David. “That hunted deer has splashed into the water. It puts its hot lips and nostrils into the cool wave that washes the lathered Hanks, and it swims away from tlie fiery canines, and it Is rree at last. Oh. that ■! might find in the deep, wide lake of (Jod’s mercy and consola tion escape from my pursuers! Oh, for the waters of life and rescue! As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God!” Some of you have Just come from the Adlroudaeks. and the breath of the balsam and spruce and pine is still on you. The Adiroudacks are now populous with hunters, and the deer are being slain by the score. Once while there talking with a hunter 1 thought 1 would like to see whether my text was accurate in its allusion, and as 1 heard the .logs haying a little way off and supposed they were on the track of a deer I said to the hunter in rough corduroy, “Do the deer al ways make for the water when they are pursued?” He said: “Oh, yes, mis ter! You see, they are u hot and thirsty animal, and they know where the wa ter Is, and when they hear danger in the distance they lift their antlers and snuff the breeze and start for Itacquet or Boon or Saranac, and we get into our cedar shell boat or stand by the runway with rifle loaded ready to blazo away." My friends, that Is one reason why 1 like tin* Bible so much. Its allusions are so true to nature. Its partridges are real partridges, its ostriches real ostriches and its reindeer real reindeer. 1 do not wonder that this antlered glory of tlie text makes the hunter’s eye sparkle and his cheek glow and his respiration quicken, to say nothing of its usefulness, although it Is the most useful of all game, its flesh delicious, its skin turned Into human apparel, its sinews fashioned into how strings, its antleis putting handles on cutlery and ihc shavings of Its horns used as a re storative, its name taken from the hart and called hartshorn. By putting aside Its usefulness this enchanting creature seems made out of gracefulness and elasticity. What an eye, with a liquid brightness as if gathered up from a hundred lakes at sunset! The horns a coronal branching into every possible curve, and, after It seems done, ascend ing Into other projections of exquisite- ness, a tree of polished hone, uplifted in pride or swung down for awful combat! It is velocity embodied, ti midity Impersonated, the enchantment of the woods, eye lustrous in life and pathetic iu death, the splendid animal :: complete rhythm of muscle and hone and color and attitude and locomotion, whether couched lu the grass among the shadows or a living bolt shot through the forest or turning at hay to attack the bounds or rearing for its last fi.ll under the buckshot of the trapper. It is a splendid appearance, that the painter's pencil falls to sketch, and only a hunter’s dream on a pillow of hemlocks at the foot of St. Ucgis Is able to picture. When, !!<) miles from any settlement, it comes down at even tide to the lake’s edge to drink among (he lllypads, and, with its sharp edged hoof, haliers the crystal of Bong lake, it Is very picturesque. But only when, after miles of pursuit, with heaving shies and lolltng tongue and eyes swimming ii> death, tin* Nag leaps from eliif to cliff Into Cpper Saranac can you realize how much David had suffered from his troubles and bow liiiich be wanted God when he express ed himself' in the words, "As the hart puDp |b after the water brooks, so panteth my noiil after thee, O God. Well, now, let all those who have coming after them the lean bounds of poverty or the black hounds of perse cution or the spotted hounds of vicis situde or the pale hounds of death or who are In any wise pursued run to the wide, deep, glorious lake of divine solace and rescue. The most of the men and women whom I happen to know, at different times, if not now, have had trouble after them, sharp muzzled troubles, swift troubles, all devouring troubles. Many of you have made the mistake of trying to fight them. Somebody meanly attacked you, and you attacked them. They depre ciated you. and you depreciated them, or they overreached you in a bargain, and you tried, in Wall street parlance, to get a corner on them. Or you have had a horeavoiuent, and Instead of be ing submissive you arc fighting that bereavement. You charge on the doc tors who have failed to effect a cure, or you charge on the carelessness of the railroad company through which the accident occurred. Or you are a chronic Invalid, and you fret and wor ry and scold and wonder why you can not be well like other people, and you angrily charge on the neuralgia or the laryngitis or the ague or the sick headache. The fact is you are a door at bay. Instead of running to the wa ters of divine consolation and slaking your thirst and cooling your body and soul In the good cheer of the gospel and swimming away Into the mighty deeps of God’s love, you are fighting a whole kennel of harriers. Some time ago I saw in the Adiron- dacks a dog lying across the road, and he seemed unable to get up, and 1 said to some hunters, “What Is the matter | with that dog?” They answered, “A deer hurt him." and 1 saw he had a great swollen paw and a battered head, sho.vlug where the antlers struck him. And the probability is that some of you might give a mighty clip to your pursuers. You might damage their business, you might worry them into ill health, you might hurt them as much as they hurt you; but, after all, it is not worth while. You only have hurt a hound. Better be off for tho Upper Saranac, Into which the moun tains of God’s eternal strength look down and moor their shadows. As for your physical disorders, the worst strychnine you can take Is frctfulness, and the best medicine is religion. I know people who were only a little disordered, yet have fretted them selves into complete valetudinarianism, while others put their trust hi God and came up from the very shadow of death and have lived comfortably 25 years with only one lung. A man with one lung, hut God with him. is better off than a godless man with two lungs. Home of you have been for a long time sailing around Cape Fear when you ought to have been sailing around Cape Good Hope. Do not turn hack, hut go ahead. The deer will ac complish more with its swift feet than with its horns. There are whole chains of lakes ; u the Adiroudacks. and from one height you can see 80 lakes, and there are said to he over 800 in the great wilder ness. So near are they to each other that your mountain guide picks up and carries the boat from lake to lake, the small distance between them for that reason called a “carry.” And the realm of God’s word Is one long chain of bright, refreshing lakes, each prom ise a lake, n very short carry between them, and, though for ages the pursued have been drinking out of them, they are full up to the top of tlie green banks, and the same David describes them, and they seem so near together that In three different places he speaks of them ns a continuous river, saying. “There is a river the streams whereof slnill make glad the city of God;” "Thou shall make them drink of the rivers of thy pleasures;” "Thou greatly euriehest it with the river of God, which Is full of water." Il«* XVine nn Hie Deer. But many of you have turned your hack on that supply and confront your trouble, and you are soured with your circumstances, and you are fighting so ciety, and you are fighting a pursuing world, and troubles, instead of driv ing you into tho cool lake of heavenly comfort, have made you stop and turn round and lower your head, and it Is simply antler against tooth. 1 do not blame you. ITobably under the same circumstances 1 would have done worse. But you are all wrong. You need to do ns the reindeer does in Feb ruary and March—it sheds Its horns. The Hahhlnical writers allude to this resignation of antlers by the stag when they say of a man who ventures his money In risky enterprises he has hung it on tlie stag's horns, and a proverb In tlie far east tells a man who lias foolishly lost his fortune to go and find where the deer shed his horns. My brother, quit tho antag onism of your circumstances, quit misanthropy, quit complaint, quit pitching Into your pursuers. Bo us wise as next spring will he the deer of the Adirondacks. Shed your horns. But very many of you who are wronged of the world—and If In any assembly between the Atlantic and Pa cific oceans It were asked that all who had been badly treated should raiso both their hands, and full response should lie made, there would he twice ns many hands lifted us persons pres ent—1 say many of you would declare, “We have always done the best we could and tried to he useful, and why we become the victims of inallgiiiuciit or invalidism or mishap Is inscruta ble.” Why, do you not know that the finer a deer and the more elegant its proportions and the more beautiful its heaving the more anxious tlie hunters and tlie hounds are to capture it? Had that roebuck a ragged fur and broken hoofs and an obliterated eye and a limping gait tlie hunters would have said: “Pshaw! Don’t let us waste our rimmunitlon on a sick doer.” And tho hounds would have given a few sniffs of the track and then darted off lu another direction for better game. But when they see a deer with antlers lifted lu mighty challenge to earth and sky, and the sleek hide looks as if it had been smoothed by Invisible hands, and the fat sides Inclose the richest pasture that could he nibbled from {he hank of rills so clear they xocm to |HIvo dropped out of heaven, and the stamp of Its foot defies the Jack shoot ing lantern and the ride, the hoin and the hound, that deer they will have if they must needs break their neck in the rapids So if thero were no uobio stuff in your make up, if you were u Dtrureated nothing, If you were a for lorn failure, you would bo allowed to go undisturbed, hut tho fact that the whole pack Is In full cry after you Is proof positive that you are splendid game and worth capturing. Thorerdrc sarcasm draws on you Its “finest bead;” therefore the world goes gun ning for you with Its best Winchester breechloader. Highest compliment is It to your talent or your virtue or your usefulness. You will he assailed in proportion to your great aehieveinents. The best and the mightiest Being the world ever saw had set after him all the hounds, terrestrial and diabolic, and they lapped his blood after the Calvarean massacre. The world paid nothing to its Uedeemcr hut a bram ble, four spikes and a cross. IMirculiig; Dob*. Many who have done their best to make the world better have had such a rough time of It that all their pleas ure is in anticipation <>f the next world, and they would, if they could, express their own feelings In the words of the Baroness of Nairn, at the close of her long life, when asked if she would like to live her life over again: Woiihl you l>e young u^ainf So would not 1. | ;.

Morning, all beaming red; Hope’s smile arcund us shed. Heavenward, away I Yes, for Romo people in this world there seems no let up. They are pur sued from youth to manhood and from manhood into old ago. Very distiu- guished are Lord Stafford’s hounds and the Earl of Yarborough’s hounds mid tho Duke of Rutland's hounds, hut all of them put together do not equal, iu number or speed or power to hunt down, the great kennel of hounds of which Sin and Trouble are owner and master. But what is a relief for all those pur sued of trouble and annoyance and pain and bereavement? My text gives it to you In a word of three letters, hut each letter is a chariot if you would triumph, or a throne If you want to ho crowned, or a lake if you would slake your thirst—yen, a chain of three lakes—G-o-d, the one for whom David longed and the one whom David found. You might as well moot a stag which, after its sixth mile of running at the topmost sliced through thicket and gorge and with the breath of the dogs on its heels, has come in full sight of Schroon lake and try to cool its pro jecting and blistered tongue with a drop of dew from a blade of grass as to attempt to satisfy an immortal soul, when Hying from trouble and sin, with anything less deep and high and broad ami immense ami Infinite and eternal than God. His comfort—why, it em bosoms all distress. Ills arm—it wrenches off all bondage. Ills band it wipes away all tears. His Christly atonement—It makes us all right with the past, and all right with the future, and all right with God. all right with man. and all right forever. Lamartine tells us that King Nim rod said to htu three sous: “Here are three vases, and one is of clay, another of amber and another of gold. Choose now which you will hava.” The eldest son. having the first choice, chose the vase of gold, on which was written the word "Empire,” and when opened it was found to contain human blood. The second sou, making the next choice, chose the vase of amber, in scribed with the word “Glory,” and when opened It contained the ashes of those who were once called great. Tho third son took tlie vase of clay and, opening It, found it empty, hut on the bottom of it was inscribed the name of God. King Nimrod asked his court iers which vase they thought weighed the most. The avaricious men of Ids court said the vase of gold, the poets said the one of amber, hut tho wisest men said tlie empty vase, because ono letter of the name of God outweighed a universe. For him 1 thirst, for his grace I beg, on Ids promise 1 build my all. With out him I cannot he happy. 1 have tried Uie world, and It does well enough as far ns it goes, hut it Is too uncertain a world, too evanescent a world. I am not a prejudiced wit ness. 1 have nothing against this world. 1 have been one of the most foruuate or, to use a more Christian word, one of the most blessed of men— blessed In my parents, blessed in the Place of my nativity, blessed lu my health, blessed In my Helds of work, blessed in my natural temperament, blessed iu my family, blessed In my opportunities, blessed In a comfortable livelihood, blessed In the hope that my soul will go to heaven through tho pardoning mercy of God, and my body, unless It he lost at sea or cremated in some contlagration, will lie down among my kindred and friends, somo already gone and others to come after me. Life to many has been a disap pointment, hut to me It has boon a pleasant surprise, and yet I declare that If I did not feel that God was now my friend and ever present help I should ho wretched and terror struck. But I want more of him. 1 have thought over this text and preached this sermon to myself until with ill the aroused energies of my body, mind and soul I can cry out, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God!” Through •lestis Christ make this God your God, and you can withstand any thing and everything, and that which affrights others will inspire you—as In time of earthquake, when an old Christian woman, asked whether she was scared, answered, "No; I am glad that I have a God who can shake the world,” or as lu a financial panic, when a Christian merchant, asked If he did not fear ho would break, auswcroij, “Yes, I shall break when the Fiftieth BhuIiu breaks In the fifteenth verse, ‘Cull upon me In the duy of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shall glorify mo.’ ” 0 Christian men and women, pursued of annoyances slid exaspera tions, remember that this hunt, wheth er a sftll hunt or a hunt lu full cry, will soon ho over. If evnr a whelp looks ashamed uad ready P* sink out nf sight, It Is whon In the Adiioudaeks a doer by one long, tremendous plunge Into big Tuppor lake gets away from him. The disappointed canine swims lu a little way, hut, defeated, swims out again and cringes with humiliating yawn at the feet of tils master. And how abash ed and ashamed will all your earthly troubles he when yon have dashed into the river from under tho throne of God and the hidglits and depths of heaven are between you and your pursuers! Klcrmil Water BrotiLs. We are told In Revelation xxll, 15, "Without are dogs,” by which l con clude there Is a whole kennel eft hounds outside the gate of heaven, or, as when a master goes In a door, his dog lies on the steps waiting for him to come out, so the troubles of this life may follow us to the shining door, hut they cannot get lu. “Without are dogs.” 1 have seen dogs and owned dogs that 1 would not he chagrined to see In the heavenly city. Some of the grand old watchdogs who are the constabulary of the homes in solitary places and for years have been the only protection of wife and child, some of the shepherd dogs that drive back the wolves and bark away the flock from going too near the precipice and some of the dogs whose neck and paw Land seer, the painter, has made immortal would not find me shutting them out from tlie gate of shining pearl. Some of those old St. Bernard dogs that have lifted perishing travelers out of the Alpine snow; the dog that John Brown, the Scotch essayist, saw ready to spring at the surgeon, lost. In re moving the cancer, he too much hurt the poor woman whom the dog felt hound to protect, and dogs that we caressed iu our childhood days, or that In later time lay down ou the rug in seeming sympathy when our homes were desolated—I say if some soul en tering heaven should happen to leave tlie gate ajar and these faithful crea tures should quietly walk in it would I not at all disturb my heaven. But all ! those human or brutal hounds that I have chased and torn and lacerated ! the world—yea, all that now bite or | worry or tear to pieces—shall he pro- | hiblted. “Without are dogs.” No place ! there for harsh critics or backbiters or | despoilers of the reputation of others. ! Down with you to the kennels of dark- I ness and despair! The hurt has reach- i ed the etc*rnal water brooks, and tlie panting of Hie long chase is quieted in still pastures, and “there shall he noth ; ing to hurt or destroy lu all God’s holy | mount.” Oh, when some of you get there it will he like what a limiter tells of ; when he was pushing his canoe far up j north in the winter and amid the l* e floes and a hundred miles, as he thought, from any other human beings. He was startled one day as he heard a stepping on tlie ice, and he cocked tlie rille, ready to meet anything that came near. He found a man, barefoot ed and insane from long exposure, ap proaching him. Taking him into h!s canoe and kindling fires to warm him, he restored him, found out where he had lived and took him to his home and found all the village In great ex citement. A hundred men were search ing for this lost man, and his family and friends rushed out to meet him, and, as had been agreed at his first ap pearance, hells were rung and guns were discharged and banquets spread nml the rescuer loaded with presents. Well, when some of you step out o. this wilderness, where yon have been chilled and torn and sometimes lost amid the icebergs, into the warm greet ings of all the villages of the glorified, and your friends rush out to give you welcoming kiss, the news that there Is another soul forever saved will call the caterers of heaven to spread the banquet and tlie bellmen to lay hold of the rope iu the tower, and while the chalices click at the feast and tlie bolls clang from the turrets It will he a scene so uplifting I pray God 1 may he there to take part iu the celestial merriment. And now do you not think the prayer In Solomon’s Song where he compared Christ to a reindeer In the night would make an exquisitely appropriate peroration to my sermon, “Until the day break and the shadows dee away ho thou like u roe or a young hart upon the mountains of BelhcrV” Dentil of M i’H. ( ottoii'H Sister. When Mrs. G. \V. Cotton left Gaff ney a couple of weeks ago for a visit to Philadelphia little did she dream of tlie misfortune that was to attend her visit. The train on which she went to Philadelphia was about four hours late, and a few hours after Mrs. Cotton arrived she was shocked by the intelligence of tho death of lu r sister, .Mrs. Annie Gray. Mrs. Gray had been in her usual good health up to the hour of her death, and her de mise was not only a shock to Mrs. Cotton but to all her relatives and friends.She was an exemplary woman, kind of heart and cheerful of disposi tion, and shed a ray of sunshine along the pathway of her life, thereby set ting an example that all mankind would do well to emulate.
