JOY AT THE WEI)]UNO THE MIRACLE OF CANA REV. DR. TAL- MAGE’S THEME. I.esNon of CliaiiKiiiK the Witter Into Wine — ChrlNt Trnelieit Thnt We ; Miould A'ot Slimlotv .lays of Others With Our Own t.riefn. Washington. July 1.—A remarkable Illustration of tlie ubitjuity of English sped Mi 12 people is furnislied by the re quests that hare renehed I>r. Talmuge In northern Europe for n sermon in out of the way places where he did not ex pect to find a single person who could understand him. There, ns hbre, he presents religion as a festivity and iu- viUs all the world to come as guests and join in its holy merriment; text, John ii, 10, “Thou hast kept the good wine until now.” This chapter invites us to a in rlage celebration. It is a wedding ii com mon life, two plain people 1 aving pledged each other, hand and heart, and their friends having come in for congratulation. The joy is not the loss because there is no pretension, in each other they find all the future they want. The daisy in the cup on the ta ble may mean as much as a score of artistic garlands fresh from the hot house. When a daughter goes off from home with nothing but a plain father's blessing and a plain mother’s love, she is missed ns much as though she were a princess. It seems hard, after the parents have sheltci. d her for 18 years, that in a few short months her affec tions should have been carried off by another, but mother remembers how it was in her own case when she was young, mid so she braces up until the wedding has paused and the banquet- | ers me gone, and she lias a cry all ; alone. Well, we are today at the wedding In Cana of Galilee. Jesus and his mother have been invited. It is evident that there are more people there than were expected. Either some people have come who were not invited or more in vitations have been sent out than it was supposed would Ik* accepted. Of course there is not a sufficient supply of wine. You know that there Is noth ing more eniba rassing to a housekeep er thiuj a scant supply. Jesus sees the embarrassment, and lie comes up im mediately to relieve it. He sees stand ing six waUr pots. He orders the servants to-fiil them with water; then he waves Ms hand over the water, and immediately it is wine—real wine. Taste of it and see for yourselves; no logwood in it. no strychnine in it, but first rate vine. 1 will not now be di verted to tlie question so often discuss ed in my own country whether it is right to drink wine. I am describing the neene us it was. When God makes wine, he makes the very best wine, and MO gallons of it standing around in these water pots—wine so-good that the ruler of the feast tastes it and says; “Why, thiuls really better than anything we Ipive had! Thou hast kept the pooiTwine until now.’/ Beau tiful miracle! A prize was offered to the person who should write the best essay about the miracle in Cana. Long manuscripts were presented in the foinpetition. but a poet won tlio prize b f \ just tiiis one line descriptive of the juli’fU'le: “Tin- conscious water saw its Cod and blushed.’* Tlie Hex! Ad v I Her. We {earn from tins miracle, in the first place, that Christ has sympathy willi housekeepers. You might have thought that Jesus would have said: “I cannot be bothered with thie house hold deficiency of wine. It Is pot for me. Lord of heaven and of earth, to be come caterer to tiiis feast. I have vast er things than this to attend to.” Not no said Jesus. The wine gave out, and Jesus, by miraculous power, came to tin* rescue. Imcs there ever come a scant supply in your household V Have you to make a very close cak-ulatioi;? is it hard work for you to carry on things decently and respectablyV If so. don't sit down and cry. Jmn't go out and fit t. but go to him who stood in the house in Cana of Galilee. Bray In tlie parlor! Bray In the kitchen! Let there be no room in all your house unoon,seerated by the voice of prayer, if you have u microscope, put under it one dri p of water and see the insects flouting about, and when you see that God make;; them and emv: for them and feeds them come to the coneiusioi} that lie will take cure of you and feed you. A boy asked if he might sweep the '-•now fr< m the steps of a house. The ) uiy of the household said. “Yes; you seem very po<>r.” He says, “I am very poor.’l K-he says, “Hon’t you some times get discouraged and feel flblt God is going to let you starve?” Tlie lad looked up in the womau’s face and said, “Do you think God will B*t nn? starve when I trust him and then do the best I can?” Enough theology for older people! Trust in God and do tin* la st you can. ,Nmid all the worri- ineuH of housekeeping go fo him. lie \vi!l lain you control your temper gmj f-upervise your domestics and entertain your guests and manage your home economies. There are hundreds of wo men weak and nervous and exhausted with the care of housekeeping. I com mend you to tlie Lord Jesus Christ as the best adviser and fie* most efficient aid—the Lord Jesus who performed Ids first miracle to relieve a house keeper. I learn also from tills miracle that Christ does things in abundance. 1 think a small supply of wine would have made up for tlie deficiency. I think certainly they must have- had enough for half the guests. Ope gal lon of wine will do; certainly five gal lons will be enough; certainly ton. But ,Jesus goes on. and lie gives them .'50 gallons ami 40 gallons and DO gallons and 70 gtdloiio and 100 gallons and 130 gallons of tlie very best wine. It Is lust like him doing everything on the largest and most generous senlp. Jjpep Christ, our Creator, go forth to make leaves? He makes them by the whole forest full notched like the fern or sil- red like the aspen or broad like the palm, Inii net •; In tlie tropics, Oregon forests. Does tm go forth to make flowers? He makes plenty of’ them. They liaine from the hedge, they hang from thi* top of the grapevine In blos soms, they roll in the blue wave of the yiohds, they toss their white surf in tin* xpll'y t enough f< r every child's hand a flower. i-oOUgh to make for ev ery brow a chaplet, enougi, .JM; I" au- ty to cover up the ghnstliie'ss of all tlie gravu, {Joes he go loi'lh to create wa ter? He pours It out not by the cupful, but by a river/un, a lake full, an ocean full, pouring it out until all tin* earth' has enough to drink and enough with which to wash. Fall Kodcmptlon. Does Jesus provide redemption? It is not a little salvation for this one, a little for that and a little for the other, but enough for all. “Whosoever will, let him come.” Each man an ocean full for himself; promises for the young, promises for the old, promises for tlie lowly, promises for tin* blind, for the halt, for the outcast, for the abandoned; pardon for all, comfort for all, mercy for all, heaven for all—not* merely a cupful of gospel supply, but 130 gallons. Aye, the tears of godly repentance are all gathered up into God's bottle, ami some day, standing before the throne, we will lift our cup of delight and ask that it be filled with the wine of heaven, and Jesus, from that bottle of tears, will begin to pour in the cup, and we w ill cry. “Stop, Je sus; we do not want to drink our own tears!" And Jesus will say, "Know ye not that tin* tears of earth are the wine of heaven?” Sorrow may endure for a night, but joy eometh in the morning. I remark, further, Jesus does not shadow the joys of others with his own griefs. He might have sat down in that wedding and said: *T have so much trouble, so much poverty, so much persecution, and the cross is ••oming. I shall not rejoice, and the gloom of my face and of my sorrows shall be east over ail tiiis group.” So said imt Jesus. He said to himself: “Here are two persons starting out In married life. Let it be a Joyful occa sion. I will lyde my own griefs. I will kindle their joy.” There are many ii ,t so wise .ms that. I know a house hold where there are many little chil dren, where for two years tin* musical instrument has been kept shut because there lias been trouble in the house. Alas for the folly! Barents saying: “We will have no Christinas tree this coming holiday, because there has been trouble in the house! Hush that laugh ing uj) stairs! How can there be any j >y when there has been so much trou ble?" And so they make everything consistently doleful and send their sons and daughters to ruin with the gloom they throw around them. Keep II:m‘K Sorrow. Oh, my dear friends, do you not know tiiose children will have trouble enough of their own after awhile? Be glad they cannot appreciate all yours. Keep back the cup of bitterness from your daughter’s lips. When your head is down in the grass of the tomb, pov erty may come to her, betrayal to her, bereavement to her. Keep back the sorrows as long ns you can. Do you not know that that son may, after awhile, have his heart broken? Stand between him and idl harm. You may not fight ills battles long. Eight them while you may. Throw not the chill of your own despondency over his soul. Bather be like Jesus, who came to the wedding hiding his own grief and kin dling the joys of others. So I have seen tlie sun on a dark day struggling amid clouds, black, ragged and porten tous. but after awhile the sun, with golden pry, heaved back the blackness, and the sun laughed to the lake, and tin* lake laughed to the sun, and from horizon to horizon, under the saffron sky, the water was till turned into wine. 1 learn from this miracle that Christ is not impatient with tin* luxuries of life. It was not necessary that they should have that wine. Hundreds of people have been married without any wine. We do not road that any of the other provisions fill short. When Christ made tlie wine, it was not a ne cessity, hut a positive luxury. 1 do not believe that ho wants us to cat hard bread and sloop ou hard mattress es unless we like them the best. 1 think, if circumstances will allow, we have a right to the luxuries of dress, the luxuries of diet and tlie luxuries of ic* ideiice. There is no more religion in an old coat than in a new one. We etui serve God drawn by golden plated harness its certainly as when we go afoot. Jesus Christ will dwell with us undt r a fine ceiling as woU as under a thatched roof. Wiiat is the difference between a Chinese mud hovel and an American home? What Is tin* difference between the rough bt arskins of the Bussian boor and the outfit of an American gen tleman? No difference except that which the £ospel of Christ, directly or Indirectly, h.;s caused. When Christ Shall have vanquished all the world, 1 suppose every house will he a mansion, and every garment U robe, and every horse an arch necked courser, and ev ery carriage a glittering vehicle, and every man a king, and every woman a ijueei!, and the whole earth a paradise, the glories <>(’ ||»e natural world har monizing with (he glories of tin* ma terial world until tlie very hells of the horses shall jingle the praises of the Lord. ItrliKlon !■ Joyful, I learn, further, from this miracle that Christ lias no Impath nee with fes tal joy; otherwise he would not have accepted the Invitation to thnt wed ding. He certainly would not havu done that which increased the hilar ity. There may have been many In thnt room who were happy, but tliora was not one of tliem ttmt diu so mucii for tlie joy of the wedding pnrjy as Christ himself, lie was the chief of tue j hi m jiictei's. When the wine gave put, h<‘ .‘Tipplied If, and so, I take it, he Util not deny us the Joys that arc po*i- thely festal. I think the children of God have more right to laugh than any other people and to clap their hands as loud ly. There Is not a single Joy denied them thgt Is given to any other people. Christianity does not clip the wings of the soul. Bcllgiott does not {Tost Bn, flowers. What Is Christianity? 1 take it to he simply a proclamation for all the enslaved, and if a man accepts the terms of that proclamation and be- goou'S ft'eji* has he not a right to he merry? Bpppojs** a father 1ms an ele gant mansion and large grounds. Ju whom will he give the first privilege of these grounds? Will lie say: “My chil dren, you must not walk through those paths or sit down under tin se trees or pfijek this fruit. These are for outsid erg. They may walk In them.” No father would sgy anything like iln{. He would say. "The lirst privileges m all the grounds and nil of my house shall lie for my own children.” And yet men try to make us believe that God's children are on tin* limits and the chief refreshments and enjoyments of life ur«* for outsiders unfl not for hlg own cnnnran. rs starii atneism. There is no Innocent beverage too rich for God’s child to drink; there Is no robe too costly for him to wear; there Is no hilarity too great for him to In dulge in and no house too splendid for him to live in. lie has a right to the joys of earth; he shall have a right to the Joys of heaven. Thougli tribula tion and trial and hardship may come unto him, let him rejoice. “Rejoice In the Lord, ye righteous, and again I say rejoice!” In the Hoar of Extremity. I remark, again, that Christ comes to us In tlie hour of our extremity. He knew the wine was giving out before there was any embarrassment or mor tification. Why di<l lie not perform the miracle sooner? Why wait until It was nil gone and no help could come from any source and then come In and perform the miracle? This is Christ’s way, and when he did come in, at the hour of extremity, he made first rate wine, so that they cried out, “Thou hast kept the good wine until now.” Jesus in the hour of extremity! He seeing to prefer that hour. In a Chris tian home In Boland great poverty had come, and on the weekday the man was obliged to move out of the house with his whole family. That night lie knelt with his family and prayed to God. While they were kneeling In prayer there was a tap on the window pane. They opened the window, and there was a raven that the family had fed and trained, and it had in its hill a ring all set with precious stones, which was found out to be a ring belonging to the royal family. It was taken up to the king's residence, and for the honesty of the man in bringing it back he had a house given to him and a gar den and a farm. Who was it that sent the raven tapping on the window? The same God that sent the raven to feed Elijah by the brook Cheritb. Christ in the hour of extremity! You mourned over your sins. You could not find the way out. You sat down and said: “God w ill not be merci ful. lie lias east me off.” But In that the darkest hour of your history light broke from the throne, and Jesus said: “Oh. wanderer, come home! i have seen ail thy sorrows. In tiiis the hour of thy extremity I offer thee pardon and everlasting life!” Trouble came. You were almost torn to pieces by that trouble. You braced yourself up against it. You said, “I will be a stoic and will not care.” But before you had got through making tho resolution it broke down under you. You felt that all your resources were gone, and then Jesus came. “In the fourth watch of tlie night,” the Bible says, “Jesus came walking on the sea.” Why did lie not come in the first watch or in the second watch or in the third watch? I do not know. He came in tho fourth and gave deliverance to bis disciples. Jesus in the last extremity! A XV,-iliiini; Triumph, 1 wonder If it will be so In our very last extremity. We shall fall suddenly sick, and doctors will come, but In vain. We will try the anodynes and the stimulants and the bathings, Writ ail in vain. Something will say, “You must go.” No one to hold us back, but the hands of eternity stroached out to pull us on. What then? Jesus will come to us, and as we say, “Lord Jesus, 1 am afraid of that water; I cannot wade through to tlie other hide*," he will say, “Take hold of my arm,” and we will take hold of ids arm, and then bo will put Ids foot In the surf of the wave, taking u.s on down, deeper, deeper, deeper, and our soul will cry, “All thy waves and billows have gone over ms. 11 They cover the feet, come to the knee and pass tlie girdle and come to tlie head, and our soul cries out, “Lord Jesus Christ, I cannot hold thine arm any longer." Then Jesus will turn around, throw both his arms about up and set us on the beach far beyond the tossing of the billows. Jesus In the last extremity! Thnt wedding scene is gone now. The wedding ring lias been lost, the tankards have been broken, the house Is down, but Jesus invites us to a grander wedding. You know the Bible says that tlie church is the Lamb's wife, ami tlie Lord will after awhile come to fetch her home. There will be gleaming of torches in the sky, and the trumpets of God will ravish the air with tb'dr music, and Jesus will stretch out his hand, and the church, robed In white, will put aside her veil and look up into the face of her Lord the King, and tlie Bridegroom will say to the bride: “Thou hast been faithful through all these years. The mansion Is ready. Gome hopie. '{‘lioii art fait, my love!” amt then ho shall put upon her brow the crown of dominion, ami tlie table will In* spread, and it will reach neross tlie skies, and the mighty ones of henven will come in garlanded witli beauty and striking their cym bals, and the Bridegroom and bride ^ Hi si-iud at the in iid of the {able, tpijl the banqueters, looking up, will won der and admire and say: "That (s Jo- sus, the Bridegroom. But the scar on his brow is c vered with the coronet, and tlie stall in ills side Is covered with a robe,” and, “'Hint Is the bride! Tlie weariness of her earthly woe lost in the Hush of this wedding triumph!” Then, pill l*j wine enough at thill wedding, not coming up from the pot soiled vats of earth, but tin* vineyards of God will press their ripest clusters, and the cups and the tankards will blush to the brim with the heavenly vintage, anti then all the banqueters will drink standing. Esther, having come up from the bneohnuallnn revelry of Atmsia*, ns, lylu re .« thousand lot'll^ feasted, will he there. And tlie queen of Sheba, from the banquet of Solo mon, will be there. And the mother of Josus, from tht* wedding In Cana, wlfl be there. Ami they all will agree that tin* earthly f. usting was poor compar ed V. itl| that. Then, lift hlg their chal ices to ifait liglu. they ‘••liatj cry to tho Lord of the feast, "Thou hast kr-pt the good wine until now." tOopyrlKht, HKIO, by Gout* Klopxch.J For burns, injuries, piles and skin diseasrs use DeWitt’s Wjtcli lluxol Salve It is ttie original.
