Washington, Rcpt. 2.—This sermon
Dr. TaImage semis from a halting
p’ace in his Journey through the val
leys of Switzerland. It seems to have
been prepared amid the bloom and
aroma of a garden midsummer. The
text is Song of Solomon v, 1, “I am
come into my garden.”
The Bible is a great poem. We have
in ils faultless rhythm and bold im
agery and startling antithesis and rap
turous lyric and sweet pastoral and in
structive narrative and devotional
psalm; thoughts expressed In style
more solemn than that of Montgomery,
more bold than that of Milton, more
terrible than that of Dante, more nat
ural than that of Wordsworth, more
impassioned than that of Pollok, more
tender than that of Cowper, more
weird than that of Spenser. This great
poem brings all the gems of the earth
into its coronet and it weaves the
fiames of judgment into its garlands
and pours eternal harmonies in its
rhythm. Everything this book touches
it makes beautiful, from the plain
stones of the summer thrashing iloor
to the daughters of Nahor lilling the
troughs for the camels; from the iisb
pools of lleshbon up to the psalmist
praising God with diapason of storm
and whirlwind, and Job’s Imagery of
Orion, Arcturus and the Pleiades.
My text leads us into a scene of sum
mer redolence. The world has had a
great many beautiful gardens. Charle
magne added to the glory of his reign
by decreeing that they be established
all through the realm—deciding even
the names of the llowers to be planted
there. Henry IV, at Montpellier, es
tablished gardens of bewitching beauty
and luxuriance, gathering into them
Alpine, Pyrenean and French plants.
One of the sweetest spots on earth was
the garden of Sbenstone, the poet. His
writings have made hut little Impres
sion on the world; but his garden,“The
Leasowes,” will be immortal. To the
natural advantages of that place was
brought the perfection of art. Arbor
and terrace and slope and rustic temple
and reservoir and urn and fountain
here had their crowning. Oak and yew
and hazel put forth their richest
foliage. There was no life more
diligent, no soul more ingenious than
that of Sbenstone, and all that dili
gence and genius he brought to the
adornment of that one treasured spot.
He gave £t;(K) for It; he sold it for
£17,000. And yet, 1 am to tell you to
day of a richer garden than any 1 have
mentioned. It iy the garden spoken
of in my text, the garden of the church,
which belongs to Christ, for my text
says so. He bought it, he planted it,
he owns it, and he shall have It.
Walter Scott, in his outlay at Abbots
ford, ruined his fortune; and now, In
the crimson flowers of those gardens,
you can almost think or Imagine that
you see the blood of that old man’s
broken heart. The payment of the last
£100.000 sacrificed him. But 1 have to
tell you that Christ’s life and Christ’s
death were the outlay of this beautiful
garden of the church, of which my
text speaks. Oh, how many sighs and
tears and pangs and agonies! Tell me,
ye women who saw him hang! Tell
me, ye executioners who lifted him
and let him down! Tell me, thou sun
that didst hide; ye rocks that fell!
“Christ loved the church and gave him
self for it.” If the garden of the
church belongs to Christ, certainly he
lias a right to walk in it. Come, then,
O blessed Jesus, today; walk up and
down these aisle-;, and pluck what thou
wilt of sweetness for thyself!
The Church nn a Garden.
The church, In my text. Is appro
priately compared to a garden, because
it is a place of choice flowers, of select
fruits and of thorough irrigation.
That would be a strange garden In
which there were no flowers. If no
where else, they would he along the
borders or at the gateway. The home
liest taste will dictate something, if It
he only the old fashioned hollyhock or
dahlia or daffodil; but if there be larger
means, then you will find the Mexican
cactus and blazing azalea ami cluster
ing oleander. Well, now, Christ comes
to his garden and he plants there
some of the brightest spirits that
ever flowered upon the world. Some of
them are violets, inconspicuous, but
sweet as heaven. Von have to search
and find them. You do not see them
very often, perhaps, but you find where
they have been by the brightened face
of the invalid and the sprig of gera
nium on the stand and the new window
curtains keeping out the glow of the
sunlight. They are, perhaps, more like
the ranunculus, creeping sweetly along
amid the thorns and briers of life,
giving kiss for sting; and many a man
who lias had in his way some great
black rock of trouble has found that
they have covered It all over with
flowery jasmine running in and out
amid the crevices.
Those flowers In Christ's garden are
not. like the sunflower, gaudy In the
light, but wherever darkness hoversover
a soul that needs to be comforted, there
they stand, night blooming cereuses.
But In Christ’s garden there are plants
that may be better compared to the
Mexican cactus—thorns without, love
liness within; men with sharp points of
character. They wound almost every
one that touches them. They are hard
to handle. Men pronounce them noth
ing but thorns, but Christ loves
them notwithstanding all their sharp
nesses. Many u man lias had a very
hard ground to cultivate, and It 1ms
only been through severe trial he 1ms
raised even the smallest scrap of grace.
A very harsh minister was talking to
a very placid cider, and the placid
elder said to the harsh minister: “Doc
tor, I do wish you would control your
temper.” “Ah,” said the minister to
the elder, “I control more temper In
five minutes than you do In live years.”
It Is harder for some men to do right
than for other men to do right. The
grace that would elevate you to the
seventh heaven might not keep your
brother from knocking a man down. I
had a friend who came to me and said,
“I dare not Join the church.” I said,
“Why?” “Oh.” he said, “I have such a
•violent temper. Yesterday morning 1
was crossing very early at the Jersey
City ferry, and I aaw a milkman pour
a large quantity of water Into the milk
con. ajjd 1 raid to him: T think tlifli
will do,’ and he Insulted me, and I
knocked him down. Do you think I
ought to Join the church?” Neverthe
less, that very same man, who was so
harsh In his behavior, loved Christ, and
could not speak of sacred things with
out tears of emotion and affection.
Thorns without, sweetness within—the
best specimen of Mexican cactus I ever
saw.
“Giants of Battle.”
There are others planted In Christ’s
garden who are always radiant, always
Impressive—more like the roses of deep
hue that we occasionally find, called
“giants of battle;” the Martin Luthers,
St. Hauls, Chrysostoms, Wycliffes,
Latimers and Samuel Rutherfords.
What In other men is a spark In them
Is a conflagration. When they sweat,
they sweat great drops of blood. When
they pray, their prayer takes Are.
When they preach, it Is a Pentecost.
When they fight. It is a Thermopylse.
WJieu they die, It Is a martyrdom.
Y’ou find a great many roses In the
gardens, but only a few “giants of bat
tle.” Men say, “Wby don’t you have
more of them in the church?” I say,
“Why don’t you have In the world
more Humboldts and Wellingtons?”
(Jod gives to some ten talents, to others
one.
In this garden of the church which
Christ has planted also find the snow
drops, beautiful but cold looking, seem
ingly another phase of winter. I mean
those Christians who arc precise in
their tastes, nuimpassioned, pure as
snowdrops and as cold. They never
shed auy tears, they never get excited,
they never say anything rashly, they
never do anything precipitately. Their
pulses never flutter, their nerves never
twitch, their indignation never boils
over. They live longer than most peo
ple, but their life is lu a minor key.
They never ruu up to C above the
staff. In their music of life they have
no staccato passages. Christ planted
them In the church, and they must be
of some service or they would not be
there. Snowdrops—always snowdrops.
But I have not told you of the most
beautiful flower In al! this garden spo
ken of In the text. If you see a centu
ry plant, your emotions are started.
You say, “Why, this flower has been a
hundred years gathering up one bloom,
and it will be a hundred years more
before other petals will come out.” But
I have to tell you of a plant that was
gathering up from all eternity and that
l.'.KM) years ago put forth its bloom nev
er to wither. It is the passion plant of
the cross. I'ropbets foretold It; Beth
lehem shepherds looked upon It in the
bud; the rocks shook at its bursting,
and the dead got up iu their winding
sheets to see its full bloom. It is a
crimson flower—blood at the roots,
blood on the branches, blood on the
leaves. Its perfume Is to fill all the
uatious. Its breath is heaven. Come,
O winds from the north and winds
from the south and winds from the
east and winds from the west, and bear
to all the earth the sweet smelling sa
vor of Christ, my Lord!
HI* worth If all the nationi knew,
Sure the whole earth would love him too.
Tbe Place of Fruit*.
Again, the church may be appropri
ately compared to a garden, because
It is a place of fruits. That would be a
strange garden which had In It no ber
ries, no plums or peaches or apricots.
The coarser fruits are planted In the
orchard or they are set out ou the sun
ny hillside; but tbe choicest fruits are
kept In the garden. So In the world
outside the church Christ has planted
a great many beautiful things—pa
tience, charity, generosity, integrity;
hut ho Intends tbe choicest fruits to bo
iu the garden, and If they are not
there, then shame on the church.
Religion is not a mere flowering sen
timentality. It is a practical, life giv
ing healthful fruit—not posies, but ap
ples. “Oh,” says somebody, “I don’t
see what your garden of the church
has yielded.” Where did your asylums
come from, and your hospitals, and
your institutions of mercy? Christ
planted every one of them. He plant
ed them In his garden. When Christ
gave sight to Bartimeus, he laid the
cornerstone of every blind asylum that
has ever been built. When Christ
soothed the demoniac of Galilee, he
laid the cornerstone of every lunatic
asylum that has ever been established.
When Christ said to tbo sick man,
“Take up thy bod and walk.” bo laid
(ho cornerstone of every hospital tbe
world has ever seen. When Christ
said, “I was In prison, and ye visited
me,” he laid the cornerstone of every
prison reform association that has ever
been organized. The church of Christ
is a glorious garden, and it is full of
fruit. I know there Is some poor fruit
In It. I know there are some weeds
that ought to bo thrown over tbo
fence. I know there are some crab-
apple trees that ought to be cut down.
I know there are some wild grapes
that ought to be uprooted. But are you
going to destroy the whole garden be
cause of a little gnarled fruit? You
will find worm oaten leaves In Fon
tainebleau and Insects that sting iu
the fairy groves of the Champs Ely-
sees. You do not tear dowu and de
stroy tbe whole garden because there
are a few specimens of gnarled fruit.
1 admit there are men and women In
the church who ought not to be there;
hut let us be frank and admit the fact
that there are hundreds and thousands
of glorious Christian men and women
—holy, blessed, useful, consecrated,
ami triumphant. There is no grander
collection in all the earth than the col
lection of Christians. There are Chris
tian men lu every church* whose re
ligion is not a matter of psalm singing
ami churcbgolug. Tomorrow morning
that religion will keep them Just os
consistent and consecrated lu their
worldly occupation as It ever kept
them^ the communion table. There
ara|^pi>en with us today of a higher
typ^PTf character than Mary of
Bethany. They not only sit at the feet
of Christ, but they go out Into tbe
kitchen to help Martha lu her work,
that she may sit there too. There is a
woman who has a drunken husband,
who 1ms exhibited more faith and pa
tience and courage than Ridley In the
lire, lie was consumed In 20 minutes.
Hers lias been a 20 years’ martyrdom.
Yonder Is a man who has been H> years
on his hack, unable to feed himself, yet
calm umJlJCQceful as though he fay ou
one of tbe green hanks of heaven,
watching tbe oarsmen dip their pad
dles In the crystal river! Why, It
seems to me at this moment us if Kt-
I’a ni threw to us a pomologlst'a cata
logue of tbe fruits growing lu this
great garden of Christ—lo^i, Joy,
peace, patience, charily, brotherly
kindness, gentleness, mercy; glorious
fruit, enough to fill all tbe baskets of
earth and heaven.
The Tree of Merer.
I have not told you of the better tree
In this garden and of the better fruit
It was planted just outside Jerusalem
u good while ago. When that tree was
planted. It was so split and bruised and
barked meu said nothing would ever
grow upon It, hut no sooner had that
tree been planted than it budded and
blossomed and fruited, and the sol
diers’ spears were only the clubs that
struck down that fruit, and It fell Into
the lap of the nations, and men began
to pick It up and eat It, and they found
lu it an antidote to all thirst, to all
poison, to all sin, to all death, the
smallest cluster larger than the famous
one of Eshcol, which two meu carried
ou a staff between them. If the one
apple In Eden killed the race, this one
cluster of mercy shall restore.
Again, the church In my text Is ap
propriately called a garden because It
Is thoroughly Irrigated. No garden
could prosper long without plenty of
water. I have seen a garden lu the
midst of a desert, yet blooming and
luxuatant. All around was dearth and
barrenness, but there were pipes, aque
ducts, riaching from this garden up to
the mountains, and through those aque
ducts the water came streaming down
and tossing up Into beautiful fountains
until every root and leaf and flower
was saturated. That Is like the
church. The church Is a garden In the
midst of a great desert of sin and suf
fer! ig, but It is well Irrigated, for “our
eyes are unto the hills from whence
cometh our help.” From the moun
tains of God’s strength there flow
down rivers of gladness. “There Is a
river the stream whereof shall make
glad the city of our God.” Preaching
the gospel is one of the aqueducts.
The Bible Is another. Baptism and the
Lord’s supper are aqueducts. Water
to slake the thirst, water to wash the
unclean, water tossed high up iu the
light of the Sim of Righteousness
showing us the rainbow around the
throne. Oh, was there ever a garden
so thoroughly Irrigated?
Y’ou know' that the beauty of Ver
sailles and Chatsworth depends very
much upon the great supply of water.
1 came to the latter place, Chatsworth,
one day when strangers are not to be
admitted, but by an Inducement which
always seemed as potent with an Eng
lishman as an American, I got iu, und
then the gardener went far up above
the stairs of stone and turned on the
water. I saw it gleaming on the dry
pavement, coming down from step to
step until It came so near 1 could hear
the musical rush, und all over the high,
broad stairs It came foaming, flashing,
roaring dowu, until sunlight and wave
in gleesome wrestle tumbled at my
feet. So It Is with the church of God.
Everything comes from above; pardon
from above, joy from above, adoption
from above, sanctification from above.
Water* of Salvation.
Would that now God wmuld turn on
tbe W’aters of salvation, that they
might flow down through his heritage,
and that this day w’e might each flud
our places to be “Elkns” with 12 wells
of water and threescore and ten palm
trees.
Hark! I hear the latch of the garden
gate, and I look to see who is coming.
I hear the voice of Christ, “I am come
Into my garden.” I say, “Come In, O
Jesus! W’e have been waiting for thee;
walk all through the paths. Look At
the flowers; look at the fruit; plqck
that which thou wilt for thyself,”
Jesus comes Into the garden and up to
that old man, aud touches him, and
says: “Almost home, father; not many
more aches for thee; I will never leave
thee; take courage a little longer and
I will steady thy tottering steps and I
will soothe thy troubles and give thee
rest. Courage, old man.” Then Christ
goes up another garden path, aud be
pomes to a soul in trouble and says:
”Bence! AU Is well. 1 have seen thy
tears. I have heard thy prayer. The
sun shall not smite thee by day nor the
moon by night. The Lord shall pre
serve thee from all evil; he will pre
serve thy soul. Courage,. O troubled
spirit!”
Tbeu I see Jesus going up another
garden path, aad I see great excite
ment among the leaves, and I hasten
up to that garden path to see what
Jesus is doing there, and, lo, he Is
breaking off flowers, sharp and clean
from the stem, and I say: “Stop, Je
sus. Do not kill those beautiful flow
ers.” He turns to me and says, “I have
come Into my garden to gather lilies,
and I mean to take these up to a high
er terrace, for the gardeu around my
palace, and there I will pluut them,
and In better so'l and lu better air
they shall put forth brighter leaves
aud sweeter redolence, aud no frost
shall touch them forever.” And I look
ed up into his face und salff: “Well, It
is thy garden, and thou hast u right to
do what thou wilt with It. Thy will
be done”—the hardest prayer a man
ever made,
TnUtna the Bent,
It has seemed as if Jesus Christ took
tbe best. From many of your house
holds the best otv> is goue. You know
that she wn# too good for this world.
Hhe was the gentlest lu her ways, the
deepest in her affection, aud when at
last the sickness came you hud no faith
lu medicines. You knew that the hour
of parting had come, uud when, through
the rich grace of tbe Lord Jesus Christ,
you surrendered that treasure you
said: “Lord Jesus, take It—It Is the
best we haie. Take It. Thou art wor
thy/’ The others In -the household may
ha\e keen of grosser mold. Bbe was
of the fluest. »
The heaven of your little ones will
not be fairly begun until you get there.
All the kindnesses shown tbnu by Im
mortals will uot make them forget
you. There they are, the radiant
throngs that went out from your
homes. I throw a kiss to the sweet
darlings. They are all well uow In the
palace. The crippled child has a sound
foot now. A little lame child says,
“Ma, will I be lame lu beavenf* “No,
my darling, you won’t be lame In heav
en.” A little sick child says, “Ma, will
I be sick lu heaven?” “No, my dear,
you wou’t be sick lu heaven.” A little
blind child says, “Ma, will I be blind
In heaven?” “No, my dear, you won’t
be blind In heaven.” They are all well
there.
I notice that the fine gardens some
times have high fences arouud them,
and l cannot get In- It Is so with u
king’s garden. Tbe only glimpse you
ever get of such a garden Is when the
king rides out In his splendid carriage.
it if Dot 10 with this garden, thla
King’s garden. I throw wide open fbe
gate and tell you all to come In. No
monopoly In religion. Whosoever will,
may. Choose now between a desert
and a gardeu. Many of you have tried
the garden of this world’s delight You
have found It has been a chagrin. So it
was with Theodore Hook. He made
all the world laugh. lie makes us
laugh now when we rend his poems,
but he cou’d not make his own heart
laugh. While in the midst of his fes
tivities he confronted a looking glass,
and he saw himself and said: “There,
that Is true. I look just as I am, done
up In body, mind and purse.” So It
was of Sbenstone, of whose garden I
told you nt the beginning of my ser
mon. He sat down amid those bowers
and said: “I have lost my road to hap
piness. I am angry and envious and
frantic and despise everything around
me just as it becomes a madman to
do.”
Christ the Only Rest.
O ye weary souls, come Into Christ's
garden today and pluck a little hearts-
#nse! Christ is the only rest and the
only pardon for a perturbed spirit Do
you not think your 01)01)1*6 has almost
come? Y’ou men and women who have
been waiting year after year for some
good opportunity In which to accept
Christ, but have postponed it, 5, 10, 20,
30 years—do you not feel as If uow
your hour of salvation had come? O
man, what grudge hast thou against
thy poor soul that thou wilt not let it
be saved?
Some years ago a vessel struck on
the rocks. They had only one lifeboat.
In that lifeboat tbe passengers and
crew were getting ashore. The vessel
had foundered and was sinking deeper
and deeper, aud that one boat could
uot take the passengers very swiftly.
A little girl stood on the deck waiting
for her turn to get Into the boat. The
boat came and went, came and went,
but her turn did not seen) to come.
After awhile she could wait no longer,
and she leaped on the taffruil and then
sprang into the sea, crying to the boat
man: “Save me next! Save me next!”
Oh, how many have gone ashore into
God’s mercy, and yet you are clinging
to the wreck of sin. Others have ac
cepted the pardon of Christ, but you
are in peril. Why not this moment
make a rush for your immortal rescue,
crying until Jesus shall hear you and
heaven and earth ring with the cry:
“Save me next! Save me next!” Now
Is the day of salvation! Now! Now!

M’SWEENEY MAKES APPEAL.
Urges Ills Friends to Bally to 111* Sup*
port—Heyt Confident.
Columbia, 8. U., Sept. 1.—Governor
McSweeuey has issued an address in
which, after calling attention to the
fact that he and Colonel Hoyt will run
over for governor ou Sept. 11, he ap
peals to the dispensary advocates to
rally to his support.
Among other things the governor
states that the veto last Tuesday was an
indorsement of the dispensary and that
the charge that the law has uot been
enforced has been met aud refuted. He
warns his friends uot to become over
confident, and says if tney turn out and
vote his election is assured.
Colonel Hoyt’s friends have already
begun an active campaign for the sec
ond primary and are confident of land
ing their man. Headquarters have been
opened iu Columbia, with C. C. Feather-
stone iu charge, and the principal work
will be done at this place. Mr. Feather-
stone said:
“To have got such a vote with such
odds against him is a great victory for
Colonel Hoyt aud the cause which
he has so ably advocated. It shows
that the people believe in the right and
they recognize the ability uud purity of
Colonel Hoyt.
“I am satisfied that his chances are
good. Governor McSweeuey'« lead of
a few thousand votes amounts to little.
If Colonel Hoyt’s friends know IAs
strength aud will go to work he will be
our next governor.
“Part of the Gary and Patterson vote
came from their personal friends, not
because they believed in the dispensary,
but because they recognized the honesty
aud ability of Gary aud Patterson. A
part of this vote, I know, will go to Col
onel Hoyt, and I lielieve that by far the
greater part of it will do so. A system
atic and organized effort will now be
made by Colonel Hoyt’s friends from
this on and there is every reason to be
lieve that he will be our next governor.’.
