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."
