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

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

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.

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? There Is a
stirring Idea which tho poet put in
very peculiar verse when he said:
’Til not for man to trifU’: life in brief,

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,

caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her she was a hope
less victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King's New
Discovery fur Consumption; she
