Tnlmage, tvlio hriM liulsliotl his tour in Knglaiul mid Scotland, where ihousands throng ed to hear him wheresoever he preach ed, is now on his way to Norway and Russia, In which countries he Is al ready well Known through the publica tion of translations of his sermons. In the following discourse, which he has sent for publication this week, lie git 03 a prescription for all anxiety and wor- rimciit and Illustrates the divine syln- pathy for all who are in any kind of struggle. The text Is Matthew xlv, 12, “And his disciples went and told Je sus.” An outrageous assassination had Just taken place. To appease a revengeful woman King Herod ordered the death of that noble, self sacriticing prophet John the Baptist. The group of the disciples were thrown into grief and dismay. They felt themselves utterly defenseless. There was no authority to which they could appeal, and yet grief must always find expression. If there be no human ear to hear It, then the agonized soul will cry it aloud to the winds and the woods and the wa ters. But there was an ear that was willing to listen. There is a tender if a j pathos and at the same time a most L | admirable picture in the words of my text, “They went and told Jesus.” He could understand all their grief, and he immediately i.othcd it. Our burdens are not more than half so heavy to car ry if another shoulder is put under the other cud of them. Here we find Christ, his brow shadowed with grief, standing amid the group of disciples, who, with tears and violent gesticula tions and wringing of hands and out cry of bereavement, are expressing their wee. Raphael, with his skillful brush, putting upon the wall of a pal ace some scene of sacred story, gave not so skillful a stroke as when the plain hand of the evangelist writes, “They went and told Jesus.” The old Cothsand Vandals once came down upon Italy from the north of Eu rope, nr.'! they upset the gardens, and tliev broke down the statues and swept away everything that was good and beautiful. >'o there is ever and anon in the history of all the sons and daugh ters of our race an incursion of rough banded troubles that come to plunder ard ransack and put to the torch all at uu n #t 1 iia .1, 1 rs of b, I 'all cave so uoeply c I as to afford us 1 j tleoto.vt courser cat t -i Jf 4 A t\ iA 1 \ Notice. nn T<' by ' T! •I( t rat are 11 All Issue seiil tin l:l secure 11 ne We Will I'lieb iiiiint I -ts-tr 1)1 1 act nf 1 lie tier 1 I V!,.. i' HI all 1 ior to April 1st, b.>!< iic •e April in pet V."

A Moysane of Comfort. I feel that 1 bring to you a most ap propriate me. sage. 1 un .tu to bind up all your griefs into a bundle and set them on lire with a spark from (lod’s altar. The prescription that cured the sorrow of the disciples will cure all year heartaches. 1 have read that when Godfrey and his army marched 1 out to capture Jerusalem, as they came j over the hills, at the first Hash of the 1 pinnacles of that beautiful city, the j army that bad marched in silence lift ed a shout that made the earth trem ble. Ob, you soldiers of Jesus Christ, marching on toward heaven, 1 would that today, by some gleam from the palace of God's mercy and God’s strength, you might be lifted into great lejoieing and that as the prospect of its peace breaks on your enraptured gaze you might raise one glad hosanna to the Lord! In the first place, I commend the be havior of these disciples to all burden ed souls who are unpardoued. There comes a time in almost every man’s history when he feels from some source that he has an erring nature. The thought may not have such heft as to fell him. It may be only like the flash in an evening cloud just after a very hot summer day. One man to got rid of that impression will go to prayer, another will stimulate himself by ar dent spirits, ami another man will dive deeper in seeularities. But sometimes a man cannot get rid of these impres sions. The fact is, when a man finds out that his eternitjris poised upon a perfect uncertainty and that the next moment his foot may slij), he must do something violent to make himself for get where he stands or else fly for refuge. Some of you crouch under a yoke, and you bite the dust when this mo ment you might rise up a crowned con queror. Driven and perplexed as you have been by sin, go and tell Jesus. To relax the grip of death from your soul and plant your unshackled feet upon the golden throne Christ let the tortures of the bloody mount transfix him. With the beam of his own cross he will break down the door of your dungeon. From the thorns of his own crown he will pick enough gems to make your brow blaze with eternal vic tory. In every tear on his wet cheek, in every gash of his side, in every long, blackening mark of laceration from shoulder to shoulder, In the grave shat tering, heaven storming death groan I hear him say, “Ho that eometh unto me I will In nowise east out.” “Oh,” but you say, “Instead of cur ing my wound you want to make an other wound—namely, that of convic tion!” Have you never known a sur geon to come and find a chronic dis ease and then with sharp caustic burn it nil out? So the grace of God comes to the old sore of sin. It has long been rankling there; but. by divine grace, it Is burned out through these fires of eonviction. “the llesli coming again as ed above that you are able to bear.” Therefore with .ill your temptations go, as these disciples did, and tell Jesus. The World ( liiillentved. Again, 1 commend the behavior of the disciples to all those who are abus ed and to the slandered and persecut- kd. When Herod jait John to death, the disciples knew that their own heads were not safe. And do you know that every John has a Herod? There are jktsous in life who do not wish yon very well. Your misfortunes are honeycombs to them. Through their teeth they hiss at you. misinter pret your motives and would he glad to see von unset No man sets through 1 the flesh of a little child;’' “where sin ! abounded, grace much more abound- 1 eth.” With the ten thousand unpurdon- ed sins of your life, go and tell Jesus. I’owr r of To nipt it I ton. You will never got rid of your sins In I any other way, and remember that tho ! broad invitation wlii< h 1 extend to you 1 will not always he extended. King Al- j fred, before modern timepieces were 1 Invented, used to divide the day Into three parts, eight hours each, and then had three wax candles. By the time , the first candle had burned to the rock- ! et eight hours had gone, and when the 1 second candle had burned to the socket ! another eight hours had gone, and ! when all the three candles were gone i out then tin* day had passed. <)h, that I some of us, instead of calculating our | days and nights and years by any earthly tiinciiiece, might calculate them by the numbers of opportunities and mercies which are burning down and burning out, never to lie relighted, lest at last we he amid the foolish virgins who cried, “Our lamps have gone out!” Again. I commend the behavior of the disciples to all who are tempted. I have heard men in midlife say they had never been led into temptation. If you have not felt temptation, it is be cause you have not tried to do right. A man hoppled and handcuffed, as long as he lies quietly, does not test the power of the chain, hut when he rises up and with determination resolves to snap the hniidcull or break the hopple then lie finds the power of the iron. And there are men who have been for 10 and 20 and 20 years bound hand and foot by evil habits who have never felt ti e power of the chain because they have never tried to break it. It Is very easy to go on down with the stream and with the wind lying on your oars, but just turn around and try to go against the wind and the tide, and you will find It Is it different matter. As long as we go down the current of our evil habit we seem to get along quite smoothly, but if after awhile we turn around and head the other way, to ward Christ and pardon and heaven, oh. then how wo have to lay to the oars! You will have your temptation. You have one kind, you another, you another, not one person escaping. It is all folly for you to say to some one, “I could not he tempted as you are.” The lion thinks it is so strange that the fish should he caught with a hook; the fish thinks it is so strange that the lion should he caught with a trap. You see some man with a cold, phlegmatic temperament, and you say, "I suppose that man lias not any temp tation.” Yes; as much as you have. In his phlegmatic nature ho has a temptation to indolence and consorlous- -s and over eating and drinking, a equation to ignore the great work of ■. a temptation to lay down an obsta- in the way of all good enterprises. temperament decides the styles of no tei lif eh r» • 1 i l temptation; hut. sanguine or lymphat ic, you will have temptation. Fa tan has a grappling hook just fitted for your soul. A man never lives beyond the reach of temptation. You say when a man gets to he 70 or 80 years of age lx* is safe from all satanic as sault. You are very much mistaken. A man at So years of age has as many temptations as a man at 2o. They are only different styles of temptation. / k tho aged Christian whether he is never assaulted of the jiowers of dark ness. If you think you have conquer ed the power of temptation, you are very much mistaken. The Lord Will SnNtiifn. A man w ho wanted a throne pretend ed lie was very weak and sickly and, if he was elected, he would soon lie gone. He crawled upon his crutches to Use throne, and, having attained it, he was strong again. He said, “It was well for me, while I was looking for tin* scepter of another, that I should stoop; hut, now that I have found it, why should 1 stoop any longer?” And he threw away his crutches and was well again. How Illustrative of the power of temptation! You think It Is a weak and crippled Influence, but give it a chance, and it will he a tyrant in your soul; it will grind you to atoms. No man lias finally and forever over come temptation until he has left tho world. But what are you to do with those temptations—tell everybody about tliemV'Ah, what a silly man you would he! As well might it commander in a fort send word to the enemy which gate of the castle is least barred as for you to go and tell what all your frail ties are and what your temptations are. The world will only caricature you, will only scoff at you. What, then, must a man do? When the wave strikes him with terrific dash, shall he have nothing to hold on to? In this contest with “the world, the flesh and the dev il” shall a man have no help, no coun sel? Our text intimates something dif ferent. In those eyes that wept with the Bethany sisters I see shining hope. In that voice which spake until the grave broke and the widow of Nnin had hack her lost son and the sea slept and sorrow stupendous woke up in the arms of rapture—In that voice I hear the command and the promise, “Cast thy burden on the Lord, and he will sustain thee.” Why should you carry your burdens any longer? Oh, you weary soul, Christ has been in this con flict. He says: “My grace shall ho suf ficient for you. You shall not he tempt- me without having a pommeling. Some slander conies after you horned and husked and hoofed to gore and trample you, and what are you to do? I tell you plainly that all who serve Christ must suffer jwTsecution. It Is the worst sign In the world for you to be able to say, “I have not an enemy In the world.” A woe Is pronounced in the Bible against the one of whom every body speaks well. If you are at peace with all the world and everybody likes you and approves your work, it is be cause you are an idler in the Lord's vineyard and are not doing your duty. All those who have served Christ, how ever eminent, till have been maltreated at some stage of their cx|torionee. You know It was so in the time of George Wliitcfield when he stood and invited men into tin* kingdom of God. What did the learned Dr. Johnson say of | him? He pronounced him a miserable mountebank. How was it when Robert Hall stood and spoke ns scarcely any uninspired man ever did speak of the glories of heaven? And ns he stood Sab bath after Saliliatli preaching on these themes Ills face kindled with the glory. John Foster, a Christian man, said of tills man, “Robert Hall is only acting, and the smile on ids face is a reflection of his own vanity.” John Wesley turn ed all England upside down with Chris tian reform, and yet the punstera \>*re i after him, and the meanest jokes In ' England wore perpetrated about John I Wesley. What Is true of tin* pulpit Is true of tin* pew; it Is true of the street; ; it is true of the shop and tin* store. All I who will live godly In Christ Jesus j must sillier persecution. And I set It down ns the very worst sign In till your Christian experience If you are ! any of you at peace with all the world. ! The religion of Christ is war. It Is a ' challenge to “the world, the flesh and j the devil," and If you will buckle on the whole armor of God you will And a I great host disputing your path between this and hen vcn. 1’citce l•'«>r tlie Troubled. But what are you to do when you are assaulted and slandered and abused, as I suppose nearly all of you have been in your life? Go out and hunt up the slanderer? Oh, no, silly man! While you are explaining away a falsehood In one place oO people will Just have heard of it In other places. I counsel you to another course. While you are not to omit any opportunity of settlug your selves right, 1 want to tell you of One who had the hardest tilings said about him, whose sobriety was disputed, whose mission was scouted, whose companionship was denounced, who was pursued as a babe and spit upon as a man, who was howled at after ho was dead. I will have yon go unto him with your bruised soul in some humble j child prayer saying: “I see thy wounds | —wounds of head, wounds of feet, wounds of heart. Now look at my wounds and see what I have suffered and through what battles I am going, and 1 entreat thee by those wounds of thine sympathize with me.” And ho will sympathize and he will help. Go and tell Jesus. Again, I commend the behavior of the disciples to all the bereaved. How many in garb of mourning! How many emblems of sorrow you behold everywhere! God has his own way of ! taking apart a family. We must get 1 out of^tiie way for coming generations. | We must got off the stage that others j may come on. and for this reason there is a long procession reaching down all the time Into the valley of shadows. This emigration from time into eterni ty is so vast an enterprise that we can not. understand it. Every hour we hear the clang of the sepulchral gate. The sod must he broken. The ground must he plowed for resurrection harvest, j Eternity must he peopled. The dust i must press our eyelids. “It Is appoint- j cd unto all men once to die.” This cm- j igrafiou from time into eternity keeps j three-fourths of the families of the earth in desolation. The air is rent j with farewells, and the black tasselod vehicles of death rumble through every street. The body of the child that was folded so closely to the mother’s heart is put away In the cold and the dark ness. The laughter freezes to the girl’s lip. and the rose scatters. The hoy in the harvest field of Shunem says, “My head, my head!” and they carry him home to die on the laj) of* his mother. Widowhood stands with tragedies of woe struck into the pallor of tho cheek. Orphanage cries In vain for father and mother. Oh, the grave is cruel! With teeth of stone it clutches for its prey. Between the closing gates of the sepulcher our hearts are man gled and crushed. Gi>d Always I’reacnt. Lf there any earthly solace? None. We come to tin* obsequies, we sit with the grief stricken, we talk pathetically to their soul, hut soon the obsequies have passed, the carriages have left us at the door, the friends who staid for a few days are gone, and the heart sits in desolation listening for the little feet that will never again patter through the hall or looking for the entrance of those who will never come again, sigh ing into the darkness, ever and anon coining across some book or garment or little shot* or jiieture that arouses for mer association, almost killing the heart; long days and nights of suffer ing that wear out tb spirit and ex punge tho bright linoa of life and give haggardness to the face and draw the 11 Cali tight down over the cheek hone and draw dark lines under the sunken eye, and the hand is tremulous, and the voice is husky and uncertain, and the grief Is wearing, grinding, accumulat ing. exhausting. Now, what are such to do? Are they merely to look up into a brazen and un pitying sky? Are they to walk a blast ed heath unfed of stream, unsheltered by overarching trees? Has God turned us out on the barren common to die? Oh, no, no, no! Ho has not. He comes with sympathy and kindness and love. He understands till our grief. He sees the height and the depth and the length and the breadth of it. He Is the only one that can fully sympathize. Go and tell Jesus. Sometimes when we have trouble we go to our friends, and we explain it, and they try to sympathize, but they do not understand it. They cannot understand it. But Christ sees nil over it ami all through It. He not only counts the tears and records tho groans, but before the tears started, before tin* games began, Christ saw the Inmost hiding place of your sorrow, and he takes it, and he weighs it, and he measures It, and he pities it with an all absorbing pity. Bono of our bone. Flesh of our llesli. Heart of our heart. Borrow of our sorrow. As long as he remembers Lazarus’ grave he will stand by you in the cemetery. As long ns ho remembers his own heartbreak he will stand by you in the laceration of your affections. When he forgets the foots re wjiy, the sleepless nights, the weary body, the exhausted mind, the awful cross, the solemn grave, then he will forgot you, hut not until then. MIkIiI)’ to Save. Often when we were In trouble we sent for our friends, but they were far away. They could not get to us. We wrote to them, “Come right away,” or telegraphed, “Take the next train.” They came at last, yet were a great while In coining or perhaps were too late. But Christ is always near—before you, behind you, within you. No moth er ever threw her arms around her child with such warmth and ecstasy of affection as Christ has shown toward you. Close at hand, nearer than the staff' upon which you lean, nearer than the cup you put to your lip, nearer than the handkerchief with which you wipe away your tears, I preach him an ever present, all sympathizing, compassion ate Jesus. How can you stay away one momeut from him witli your griefs? Go now. Go and tell Jcsr.s. It Is often that our friends have no power to relieve us. They would very much like to do it, hut they cannot dis entangle our finances, they cannot euro our sickness ami raise our dead, hut glory be to God that he to whom the disciples went has all power In heaven and on earth, and at onr call he will balk our calamities and at just the right time, In the presence of an ap plauding earth and a resounding heav en, will raise our dead. He is mightier than II orod. lie Is swifter than tho storm. He Is grander than the sea. IIo Is vaster than eternity. And every sword of God’s omnipotence will leap from Its scabbard and all the resources of infinity be exhausted rather than that God’s child f hall not he delivered when he cries to him for rescue. Sup pose your child was In trouble. How much would you endure to get him out? Y’ou would go through any hard ship. Y'ou would say: “I don’t caro what It will cost. I must get him out of that trouble.” Do you think God Is not so good a father a., you? Seeing you are in trouble and having all pow er, will he not stretch out his arm and deliver you? IIo will. Ho Is mighty to save. He can level the mountain and divide the sea and can extinguish the fire and save the soul. Not dim of eye, not weak of arm, not feeble of re sources, hut with all eternity and the universe at his feet. Go and tell Jesus. Will you? Ye whose cheeks are wet with the night dew of the grave, yo who cannot look up, ye whose hearts are dried witli the breath of sirocco, in the name of tin* religion of Jesus Christ, which lifts every burden and wipes away every tear and delivers ev ery captive and lightens every dark ness, I implore you now go and tell Jesus. Trust In (tie Lord. A little child went with her father, a sea captain, to sea, and when tho first storm came the little child was very much frightened and in the night rush ed out of the cabin and said, “Where is father, where is father?” Then the v told l;cr, “Father is on dock guiding tho vessel and watching the storm.” The little child immediately returned to her berth and said, “It's all right, for fa ther’s on dock.” O ye who are tossed and driven in this world, up by the mountains and down by the valleys- and at your wits’ ends, I want you to know the Lord God is guiding tho ship. Your Father is on dock. He will bring you through the darkness Into the harbor. Trust in the Lord. Go and toll Jesus. If you go to him for pardon and sym pathy, all is well. Everything will brighten up. and joy will come to the heart, and sorrow will depart, your sins will he forgiven, and your foot will touch the upward path, and the shining messengers that report above what is done here will tell it until the great arches of God resound witli the glad tidings if now witli contrition and full trustfulness of soul you will only go and tell Jesus. But 1 am oppressed ns I think of those who may not take this counsel and may remain unblessed. I cannot help asking what will he the destiny of these people. Xerxes looked off on his army. There were 2,000,000, perhaps the finest army ever marshaled. Xer xes rode along the lines, reviewed them, came hack, stood on some high point, looked off upon the 2,000,000 men and burst Into tears. At that moment, when every one supposed ho would ho in the greatest exultation, ho broke down in grief. They asked him why he wept. “All,” he said, "I weep at the thought that so soon all this host will he dead.” So 1 think of these vast pop ulations of immortal men and women and realize the fact that soon tho places which know them now will know them no more, and they will he gone—whither, whither?
