Hits No Synipnthv With the Self II luht eoim Killer Brother — Kind- tics* Would lleolitlm Many Who Fall hy the Wny. Washington, May 0. — lu this ills- course Dr. T'aliuage pleads for a hearty reception to all those who have done wrong and want to get hack, while the unsympathetic and self righteous are excoriated; text, Luke xv, 28, “And he was angry and would not go lu.” Many times have I been asked to preach a sermon about tbe elder broth er of the parable. I received a letter from Canada saying, "Is the elder sou of the parable so unsympathetic and so cold that he is not worthy of recog nition?’’ The fact Is that we ministers pursue the younger son. You can hear the (lappings of his rags lu many a ser- nionic breeze and the cranchiug of the pods for which he was an uusdbcessful contestant. I confess that It has been difficult for me to train the camera ob- scura upon the elder son of the para ble. 1 could not get a negative for a photograph. There was not enough light in the gallery, or the chemicals were poor, or the sitter moved In the picture. But now I think I hare him; not a side face or a three-quarters or the mere bust, but a full length por trait ns he appears to me. The father In the parable of the prodigal had noth ing to brag of In his two sous. The one was a rake and the other n churl. 1 find nothing admirable lu the disso luteness of the one, and I find nothing attractive lu the acrid sobriety of the other. The one goes down over the larboard side, and the other goes down over the starboard side, but they both go down. From all the windows of the old homestead bursts the minstrelsy. The floor quakes with the feet of the rus tics, whose dance Is always vigorous and resounding. The neighbors have heard of the return of the younger son from his wanderings, and they have gathered together. The house Is full of congra tula tors. I suppose the tables are loaded with luxuries; not only the one kind of meat mentioned, but its concomitants. “Clap!" go the cym bals, “Thrum!" go the harps, “Click!” go the chalices, up nud down go the feet Inside, while outside Is a most sor ry spectacle Alvvnya Present. The senior son stands at the corner of the house, a frigid phlegmatic. He has Just come In from the fields lu very substantial apparel. Seeing some wild exhilarations around the old mansion, he asks of a servant passing by with a goatskin of wine on his shoulder what all the fuss Is about. One would have thought that, on hearing that his younger brother had got back, he would have goue Into the house and re joiced and, If he were not conscien tiously opposed to dancing, that he would have Joined in the oriental schot- tish. No. There he stands. His brow lowers; his face darkens; his lip curls with contempt; he stamps the ground with Indignation; he sees noth ing at all to attract. The odors of the feast coming out on the air do not sharpen his appetite; the lively music does not put any spring Into his step. He is In a terrible pout; he criticises the expense, the injustice and the mor als of the entertainment. The father rushes out bareheaded and coaxes him to come in. He will not go In; he scolds the father; he goes Into a pas quinade against the younger brother, ami he makes the most uncomely scene; he says, “Father, you put a premium on vagabondism. I staid at. home and worked on the farm. Yon never made a party for me; you didn’t so much as kill a kid. That wouldn’t have cost half as much as a calf. But this scapegrace went off In fine clothes, and he comes back not fit to be seen, and what a time you make over him! He breaks your heart, and you pay him for It. That calf, to which we have been giving extra feed during all those weeks, wouldn’t be so fat and sleek If I had known to what use you were going to put It! That vagabond deserves to be cowhlded Instead of banqueted. Veal Is too good for blm!" That evening, while Hie younger sou sat telling his father about his adven tures and asking about what had oc curred on the place since his departure, the senior brother goes to bed disgust ed and slams the door after him. That senior brother still lives. You can see him any Sunday, any day of the week. At a meeting of ministers In Germany some one asked the question, “Who is that elder sou?” and Krummacher an swered: ‘‘I know him; I saw him yes terday.” And when they Insisted upon knowing whom he meant he said: “My self. When I saw the account of the conversion of a most obnoxloua man, 1 was Irritated.” Ah Ingrate. First, this senior brother of the text stands for the self congratulatory, self satisfied, self worshipful man. With the same breath In which he vitupe rates against his younger brother ho utters a panegyric for himself. The self righteous mnu of my text, like ev ery other self righteous man, was full of faults. He was an Ingratc, for he did not appreciate the home blessings which he had all those years. He was disobedient, for when the father told him to come In he staid out. He was a liar, for he said that the recreant son had devoured his father’s living when the father, so far from being reduced to penury, had a homestead left, had iustruments of music, had jewels, had n mansion and Instead of being a pau per was a prince. This senior brother, with so many faults of bis own, was merciless In his criticism of the youn ger brother. The only perfect people that 1 have ever known were utterly obnoxious. I was never so badly cheat ed In my life ns bv n perfect man. 'He got so far up in his devotions that he was clear up above all the rtiles of common honesty. These men that go about prowling among prayer pieeb In^s and In places of business, tell ing how good they are—look out for them; keep your baud on your pocket- book! I have noticed that Just In pro portion as a man gets good he gets bumble. The deev Mississippi does not make ns much noise us the brawling mountain rivulet. There bus been many a store that had more goods lu the show window than Inside on the shelves. Self Admiration. J’hls 4J?J| righteous unm gf Jim *t stood at the corner of the house hug ging himself In admiration. Wo bear a great deal In our day about the higher life. Now, there are two kinds of high er life men. The one is admirable, and the other Is repulsive. The one kind of higher life man Is very lenient In his criticism of others, does not bore pray er meetings to death with long ha rangues, does not talk a great deal about himself, but much about Christ and heaven, gets kindlier and more gentle nud more useful until one dtiy his soul spreads a-wlug, and he files away to eternal rest, and everybody mourns his departure. The other high er life man goes around with a Bible conspicuously under his arm, goes from church to church, a sort of general evangelist, Is a nuisance to his own pastor when he Is at home and a nui sance to other pastors when he Is away from home, runs up to some man who Is counting out a roll of bank bills or running up a difficult line of figures and asks him how his soul Is, makes religion a dose of Ipecacuanha; stand ing In a religious meeting making an address, he has a patronizing way, as though ordinary Christians were clear away down below' him, so he had* to talk at the top of his voice In order to make them hear, but at the same time encouraging them to hope on that by climbing many years they may after awhile come up within sight of the place where he now stands. I tell you plainly that a roaring,roistering,bounc ing sinner Is not so repulsive to me as that higher life malformation. The former may repent; the latter never gets over his Pharisaism. The youn ger brother of the parable came back, but the senior brother stands outside entirely oblivious to his own delinquen cies and deficits, pronouncing his own eulogium. Oh, how much easier It Is to blame others than to blame our selves! Adam blamed Eve, Eve blam ed the serpent, the senior brother blam ed the younger brother, and none of them blamed themselves. Few ProdlffHl* Retorm. Again, the senior brother of my text stands for all those who are faithless about the reformation of the dissipated and the dissolute. lu the very tones of his voice you cau hear the fact that he has no faith that the reformation of the younger son Is genuine. His en tire manner seems to say: “That boy has come back for more money. He got a third of the property. Now he has come back for another third. He will never be contented to stay on the farm. He will fall away. I would go lo. too, and rejoice with the others If 1 thought this thing was genuine, but It is a sham. That boy Is a confirmed In ebriate and debauchee.” Alas, my friends, for the Incredulity In the church of Christ In regard to the recla mation of the recreant! You say a man has been a strong drinker. I say, “Yes, but he has reformed.” “Oh,” you say, with a lugubrious face, “I hope you are not mistaken; I hope you are not mistaken.” You say; “Don’t rejoice too much over his conversion, for soon he w'lll be unconverted, I fear. Don’t make too big a party for that re turned prodigal or strike the timbrel too loud, and if you kill a calf kill the oue that is on the commons and not the one that has* been luxuriating in the paddock.” That is the reason why more prodigals do not come home to their father’s house. It is the rank in fidelity in the church of God on this subject. There Is not a house on the streets of heaven that has not in It a prodigal that returned and staid home. There could be unrolled before you a scroll of 100,000 names—the names of prodigals who came back forever re formed. Who was John Bunyan? A returned prodigal. W’bo was Richard Baxter? A returned prodigal. Who was George Whltefleld, the thunderer? A returned prodigal. And I could go out In all the aisles of this church to day ami find on either side those who, once far astray for many years, have been faithful, and their eternal salva tion Is as sure as though they had been ten years in heaven. And yet some of you have not enough faith In their re turn! Need of Christian Sympathy. You do not know how’ to shake hands with a prodigal; you do not know how to pray for him; you do not know bow to greet him. He wants to sail Into the warm gulf stream of Christian sym pathy. You arc the Iceberg against wiiich be strikes and shivers. You say he has been a prodigal. I know It, but you are the sour, unresponsive, censo rious, saturniuc, cranky elder brother, and if you are going to heaven one would think some i>eople would be tempted to go to perdition to get away from you. Tbe hunters say that If a deer be shot the other deer shove him out of their company, and the general rule is, “Away with a man that has been wounded with sin!” Now, I say, the more bones a man has broken tbe more need he has of a hospital and the more a man has been bruised and cut with sin the more need he has to be carried Into human and divine sympathy. But for such men there is not much room In this world—tbe men who want to come back after wander ing. Plenty of room for elegant sin ners, for sinners In velvet and satin and lace, for sinners high salaried, for kid gloved and patent leathered sin ners, for sinners fixed up by hairdress er. pomatumed and lavendered and co- logued and frizzled and crimped and “banged” sinners — plenty of room! Such wo meet elegantly at the door of our churches, and we Invite them Into the best seats with Chesterfieldian gal lantries; we usher them Into the bouse of God and put soft ottomans under their feet and put a gilt edged prayer book lu their hands and pass tbe con tribution box before them with an air of apology, while they, the generous souls, take out the exquisite portemon- mile and open It and with diamonded finger push down beyond tbe $10 gold- pieces and delicately pick out as an ex pression of gratitude their offering to the Lord—of 1 cent! For such sinners plenty of room, plenty of room! But for the man who has been drinking un til his coat is threadbare, and bis face Is eryslpelased, and bis wife’s wedding dress is In tbe pawnbroker’s shop, and his children. Instead of being In school, are out begging broken bread at the basement doors of tbe city—the man, body, mind and soul on fire with the flumes that have leajied from the scath ing, scorchlug, blasting, blistering, con suming cup which the drunkard takes, trembling and agonized and affrighted, am] presses to his parched Up, and his cracked tongue, nud his shrieking yet Immortal spirit—no room] had not gone so far off, 1? he had not dropped so low In wassail, the protest would not have been so severe; but, going clear over the precipice, ns the younger son did, the elder son Is angry and will not go In. Pity the Fallen. Be not so hard in your criticism of the fallen lest thou thyself also be tempted. Do j’ou know who that man was who. Sabbath before last, stagger ed up and down the aisle In a church, disturbing the service until the service had to stop until he was taken from the room? He was a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ lu a sister de nomination! That man had preached the gospel; that man had broken the bread of the holy communion for the people. From what a height to what a depth! Oh, 1 was glad there was no smiling In the room when that man was taken out, his poor wife following him with his hat In her hand and his coat on her arm. It was as solemn to me as two funerals—the funeral of the body and the funeral of the soul. Be ware lest thou also be tempted! An Invalid went to South America for his health and one day sat sunning himself on the beach when he saw something crawling up the beach wrig gling toward him, and he was affright ed. He thought It was a wild beast or a reptile, and lie took his pistol from his pocket. Then he saw It was not a wild beast. It was a man, an immortal man, a man made in God’s own image, and the poor wretch crawled up to the feet of the invalid and asked for strong drink, and the invalid look his wine flask from his pocket and gave the poor wretch oomethlng to drink, and then, under the stimulus, lie rose up and gave his history. He had been a merchant in Glasgow. He had gone down under the power of strong drink until he was so reduced lu poverty that be was living In a boat just off the beach. “Why,” said the invalid, “1 knew a merchant In Glasgow once, a merchant of such and such a name.” And the poor wretch straightened him self and said. “I am that man!” “Let him that thinkoth he standeth take heed lest he fail.” Again I remark that the senior broth er of my text stands for the spirit of envy and jealousy. The senior broth er thought that all the honor they did to the returned brother was a wrong to him. He said, “I have staid at home, and I ought to have had the ring, and I ought to have had the banquet, and I ought to have had the garlands.” Alas, for this spirit of envy and jeal ousy coming down through the ages! Cain and Abel, Esau and Jacob. Saul and David, Hainan and Mordecai, Othello and lago, Orlando and Angeli ca, Caligula and Torquatus, Cmsar and Poinpey, Columbus and the Spanish courtiers, Cambyses and the brother he slew because he was a better marks man. Dionysius and Philoxenius, whom he slew because he was a better singer. Jealousy among painters—Closterman and Geoffrey Kneller, Hudson and Reynolds. Francla, anxious to see a picture of Raphael, Raphael sends him a picture. Francla, seeing It, fulls In a fit of Jealousy from which he dies. Jealousy among authors. How seldom contemporaries speak of each other Xenophon and Plato living at the same time, but from their writings you nev er would suppose they heard of each other. Religious Jealousies. The Mo hammedans praying for rain during a drought; no rain coming. Then the Christians begin to pray for rain, and the rain comes. Then the Mohamme dans met together to account for this, and they resolved that God was so well pleased with their prayers he kept the drought on so as to keep them praying, but that the Christians began to pray and the Lord was so disgusted with their prayers that he sent rain right away so he would not hear any more et their supplications. Oh, this accurs ed spirit of envy and jealousy! Let us stamp It out from all our hearts. Stifle Jealousy. A wrestler was so envious of Theog- eues, the prince of wrestlers, that he could not be consoled In any way, and after Theogenes died and a statue was lifted to him In a public place his envi ous antagonist went out every night and wrestled with the statue until one night he threw it, and it fell on him and crushed him to death. So jealousy Is not only absurd, but It is killing to tbe body, and It is killing to the soul. How seldom It Is you find one mer chant speaking well of a merchant In the same line of business. How sel dom it is you hear a physician speak ing well of a physician on the same block. Oh, my friends, the world Is large enough for all of us! Let us re joice at the success of others. The next best thing to owning a garden ourselves la to look over the fence and admire the flowers. The next best thing to riding lu tine equipage is to stand on the streets and admire the prancing span. The next best thing to having a banquet given to ourselves Is having a banquet given to our prodigal brother that has come home to his father’s house. Besides that, If we do uot get as much honor and as much attention us others we ought to congratulate our selves on what we escape In the way of assault. The French general riding on horseback at the head of his troops heard a soldier complain and &uy, “It Is very ea#y for the general to com mand us forward while he rides and wo walk.” Then the general dismount ed and compelled the complaining sol dier to get on the horse. Coming through a ravine, a bullet from u sharpshooter struck the rider, and he fell dead. Then the general said, “How much safer It is to walk than to ride.” Once more I have to tell you that this senior brother of my text stands for the pouting Christian. While there Is so much congratulation within doors the hero of my text stands outside, the corners of his mouth drawn down, looking as be felt—miserable. I am glad bis lugubrious physiognomy did not spoil the festivity within. How many pouting Christians there are In our day—Cbristluus who do not like the music of tbe churches, Christians who do uot like the hilarities of the young—pouting, pouting, pouting at aoclety, pouting at the fashions, pout ing at the newspapers, pouting at the church, pouting at the government, pouting at high heaven. Their spleen Is too large, their liver does not work, their digestion is broken down. There are two cruets In their caster always sure to l»e well supplied—vinegar and red pepper. Oh, come away from that mood! Htlr a little saccharine Into your disposition.

The artist in sketching the field of Waterloo years after the battle put a dove In the mouth of the cannon.

That is the meaning of it—that God is ready to take back anybody that is sorry, to take him clear back, to take him back forever and forever and forever, to take him back with a loving hug, lo put a kiss on his parched lip, a ring on his bloated hand, an easy shoe on his chafed foot, a garland on his bleeding temples and heaven in his soul.
