Fn in the Other Shore Will Come n ItnrU <0 Transport the Cnithiul to ICternal Life—He Bids Is Have No Fear, For the KinK Will Be oa Hoard. Washington, Doc. 9.—From an unno ticed Incident of olden time Dr. Tal- 111 age in tins discourse draws some comfort ing and rapturous lessons. The text is II Samuel xlx. IS, “And there tvt at over a f< rryboat to carry over the king's household.” Which of the crowd is the king*/ That short man, sunburnt and In fa tigue dross. It is David, the exiled king. He has defeated his enemies and Is now f ing home to resume his pal ace. Food! I always like to see David come out ahead. But between him and his home there is the celebrated river Jordan, which has to he passed. The king is accompanied to the bank of the river by an aristocratic old gentleman of SO years. Barzillni by name, who owned a lino country seat at Bogelim. Besides that. David has Ids family with him. But how shall they get across the river? While they are stand ing there 1 see a ferryboat coming from the other side, and as it cuts through the water I see the faces of David and his household brighten up at the thought of so soon getting home. No sooner Inis the ferryboat struck the shore than David and his family and Ids old friend Bnrzillai, from Bogelim, get on board the boat. Either witli splashing cars at the side or with one oar sculling at the stern of the boat they leave the eastern bank of the Jor dan and start for the western hank. That western hank Is black with crowds of people, who are waving and shouting at the approach of tin* king and his family. The military are all out. Some of those who have been Da vid’s worst enemies now shout until they are hoarse at his return. No soon er has the boat struck the shore on the western side than the earth quakes, and the heavens ring with cheers of welcome and congratulation. David and his family and Tlarzillai from Ko- pdirn step ashore. King David asks his old friend to go with him and live at the palace, hut Barzillai apologizes and intimates that he is infirm with age and too deaf to appreciate the'mu- sic and has a dedicate appetite that would soon be loved with luxurious living, and so be begs that David would let him go back to his country seat. The Lord Moke* n \Vny. I once beard the father of a president e>f Hie United States say that he had just been to Washington to see Ins son in the White House*, and lie told mo of the wonderful things that occurred there and of what Daniel Webster said to him, but lie declared: “I was glad to get home*. There was too much going on there for me.” My father, an aged man. made ids hist visit at my house in Bhiladeipliia.and after the church serv ice was over and we went home some one in the house asked the aged man how he enjoyed the service. “Well,” he replied. “I enjoyed the service, hut there were too many people there for me. It troubled my in ad very much.” The fact is that old people do not like excitement. If King David had asked Barzillai 30 years before to go to the palace, tin* probability is that Barzillai would have gone, hut not now. They kiss each other goodby, a custom among men oriental, but in vogue yet where two brothers part or an aged father and a son go away from each other never to meet again. No wonder that their lips met as King David and old Barzillai. at the prow of the ferry- in.at. parted forever. This river Jordan, In all ages and among all languages, has been the sym bol of the boundary line between earth and heaven, yet when, on a former oc casion. I preached to you about the Jordanic passage I have no doubt that some of you despondingly said. “The Lord might have divided Jordan for Joshua, but not for poor me.” Cheer up! I want to show you that there is a way over Jordan ns well as through it. My text says, "And there went over a ferryboat to carry over the king's household.” All our cities are familiar with the ferryboat. It goes from San Francisco to Oakland and from Liverpool to Birk enhead, and twice every secular day of the week multitudes are on the fer ryboats of our great cities, so that you will not need to hunt up a classical dic- tiouary to And out what I mean while I nni speaking to you about the pas- Dr. C.

Im presses me with the fact that when we cross over from this world to the next tlie boat will liaVe to come from the other side. The Irlbc of Judah, we are Informed, sent this ferryboat across to get David and Ids household. 1 stand on the eastern side of tlie river Jordan, arid I find no shipping at all, hut while I am standing there I see a boat plow ing through the river, and as 1 hear the swirl of tlie waters, and the boat comes to the east ern side of tlie Jordan, and David and Ids family and bis old friend step on board that boat. I am mightily impressed with the fact that when we cross over from this world to the next tlie boat will have to come from tlie op posite shore. Sntl Dcatha of l nlicllevera. Lvory day 1 find people trying to ex temporize a way from earth to heaven. They gather up their good works and some sentimental theories, and they make a raft, shoving it from tills shore, and poor, deluded souls get on hoard that raft, and they go down. The fact is that skepticism and infidelity never yet helped one man to die. I Invite all the ship carpenters of worldly philoso phy to come and build one boat that can safely cross this river. 1 Invite them all to unite their skill, and Bol- Ingbroke slinll lilt the stanchions, and Tyndall shall shape th<* bowsprit, and Hpinoza shall make tlie maintopgullant btaecH, and Beiian shall go to tacking and wearing and boxing tlie ship. All together in 10,000 years they will never !c aide to make a In at that tan crois this Jordan. Why was It that Spinoza and Blount and Fhaftexbury lost their souls? It was lice a use they tried to cross the stream In a boat of their own construction. What mbcrnlJe work they made of dying! Dlodorun di* d of mortification because he could not guess a conundrum which had been proposed to him at n public dinner; Zeuxis, the philosopher, died of mirth- hm gin hi? fit It caiealurtr-of im filled woman, a caricature made by his own hand; while another of their company and of their kind died saying. “Must I leave all these beautiful pictures?” and then asked that lie might he bolstered up in the bed In Ids last moments and be shaved and painted and rouged. Of nil tlie unbelievers of all ages not one died well. Some of them sneaked out of life, some wept themselves away In darkness, some blasphemed and raved and tore their bed covers to tatters. This is the way worldly philosophy helps a man to die. A guide at Niagara falls said to me, “Do you see that rock down in the rap ids?” I said, "Yes.” "Well,” he said, “some years ago a man got Into the rapids and floated down until he came to that rock, and he clutched that and held on. We sent five lifeboats at dif ferent times out to him, and they were all broken to splinters. After awhile we got him some food, but he could not eat it. He seemed to have no appetite. He wanted to get ashore, and the poor fellow held on and held on, and, with a shriek louder than the thunder of the cataract, he went over.” When a man puts out from the shore of this world on the river of death In a boat of his own construction, he has worse disas ter than that—shipwreck, eternal ship wreck. From the Other Shore. Blessed be Cod, there is a boat com ing from tlie other side! Transporta tion at last for our souls from the other shore; everything about this gospel from the other shore; pardon from the other shore; mercy from the other shore: pity from the other shore; minis try of angels from the other shore; power to work miracles from the other shore; Jesus Christ from the other shore. “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin ners,” and from a foreign shore 1 see the ferryboat coining, and i.t rolls with the surges of a Saviour's suffering, but as it strikes the earth the mountains rock and the dead adjust their apparel so that they may lie tit to come out. That boat touches the earth, and glorb ous Thomas Walsh gets into it in his expiring moment, saying: “He has come! lie has come! My beloved is mine, and I am ids.” Good Sarah Wes ley got into that boat, and as she shov ed off from the shore she cried: “Open the gates! Open tlie gates!” I bless God Hint as the boat came from tlie other shore to take David and his men across so when we are about to die tlie boat will come from the same direc tion. God forbid that I should ever trust to anything that starts from this side. Again, my subject suggests that when we cross over at tlie Inst the King will be on board the boat. Ship carpentry In Bible times was in its in fancy. The boats were not skillfully made, and 1 can very easily imagine that the women and the children of the king’s household might have been nerv ous about going on that boat, afraid that the oarsman or tlie helmsman might give out and that tlie boat might Ik* dashed on tlie rocks, as sometimes boats were dashed in the Jordan, and then I could have imagined the boat starting and rocking and they crying out. “Oh, we are going to lie lost; we are going down!” Not so. The king was on board tlie boat, and those wo men and children and all the household of tlie king knew that every care was taken to have the king, the head of the empire, pass in safety. A Delusion Dispelled. Now, I want to break up a delusion In your mind, and that is this: When our friends go out from this world, we feel sorry for them because they have to go alone, and parents hold on to tlie hands of their children who are dying and hold on to something of the impression that the moment they let go the little one will lie in tlie darkness and in the boat all alone. “Oh,” tlie parents say, “if 1 could only go with my child, I would be willing to die half a dozen times. I am afraid she will lie lest in the woods or in the darkness. 1 am afraid she will lie very much frighten ed in tlie boat all alone.” I break up the delusion. When a soul goes to heaven. It does not go alone; the King is on hoard the boat Was Paul alone in the last extremity? Hear the shout of the sacred missionary as be cries out, “I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.” Was John Wesley alone In the last extrem ity? No. Hear him say, “Best of all, God is with us.” Was Sir William Forties alone in tlie last extremity? No. Hear him say to his friends, “Tell all the people who are coming down to the bed of death from my experience It has no terrors.” “Oh,” say a great many people, “that does very well for distin guished Christians, hut for me, a com mon man, for me, a common woman, we can’t expect that guidance and help.” If 1 shonld give you a passage of Scripture that would promise to you positively when you are crossing the river to the next world the King would be in tlie boat, would you believe the promise? “Oh. yes,” you say, “1 would." Here is the promise: “When thou passest through tlie waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee." Christ at tlie sick pillow to take the soul out of the body, Christ to help the soul down tlie bank into tlie boat, Christ midstream. Christ on the other side to help the soul up the beach. Be com forted about your departed friends, lie comforted about your own demise when the time shall come. Tell it to all the people under tlie sun that no Chris tian ever dies alone; the King Is In the boat. A Narrow Stream. Again, my text suggests that leaving tli is world for heaven is only crossing a f< rry. Dr. Shaw estimates the average width of the Jordan to be about 30 yards. What, so narrow! Yes. “There went over a ferryboat to carry over the king’s household.” Yes; going to heav- i ii is only a abort trip—only a ferry. It may he W) miles—that is. HO years-he- f in* we get to the wet bank on the oth er side, but tlie crossing Is short. I will toll you the whole secret. It Is not live minutes across nor three iu r two nor one minute. It is an Instantaueou* transportation. People talk as though leaving this life the Christian went plunging and floundering and swim ming, to crawl jip ex ha 11: ted on the other shore and to he pulled out of the pelting surf as by a P.nm ,'atc lifeboat. No such thing. It Is only u ferry. It is so narrow that we can hail each other from Imiik to bank. It is only four arms’ length across. The urin of earth ly farewell put out from tills side, tlie arm of heavenly welcome put out_froui the other sine, wiillfl the uying vmis- tlnn, standing midstream, stretches out his two arms, the one to take the fare well of earth and the oilier to take tin! greeting of heaven. That makes font 1 arms’ length across the river. Blessed be God that when we leave this world we are not to have a great and perilous enterprise of getting into heaven; not a dangerous Franklin ex pedition to find tlie northwest passage among icebergs; only a ferry. That accounts for something you have never been able to understand. You never supposed that very nervous and timid Christian people could lie so unexcited and placid In tlie last hour. The fact is they were clear down on the bank, and they saw there was nothing to be frightened about; such a short distance —only a ferry. With one ear they heard the funeral psalm In their mem ory, and with the other ear they heard tlie song of heavenly salutation. The willows on tills side the Jordan and the Lebanon cedars on the other almost in terlocked their branches—only a ferry. The Landln-x Safe. My subject also suggests the fact that when we cross over at the last we shall find a solid landing. The ferry boat. as spoken of in my text, means a place to start from and a place to land. David and ids people did not find the eastern shore of tlie Jordan any more solid than the western shore where lie landed, and yet to a great many heav en is r.ot a real place. To you heaven is n fog bank in tlie distance. After the resurrection has come you will have a resurrected foot and something to tread on and a resurrected eye and colors to see with it and a resurrected ear and music to regale it. Smart men in this day are making a great deal of fun about St. John’s materialistic de scriptions of heaven. Well, now, my friends, if you will tell me what will be the use of a resurrected body In heaven with nothing to tread on and nothing to hear and nothing to handle and nothing to taste then I will laugh too. Are you going to float about in ether forever, swinging about your hands and feet through the air indiscrimi nately, one moment sweltering in tlie center of the sun and the next moment shivering in the mountains of the moon? That is not my heaven. Dis- satlsfied with John’s materialistic heav en, theological tinkers are trying to patch up a heaven that will do for them at last I never heard of any heaven I want to go to except St. John’s heaven. I believe 1 shall hear Mr. Toplady sing yet and Isaac Watts recite hymns and Mozart play. "Oh," you say, “where would you get the or gan?” The Lord will provide the or gan. Don’t you bother about tlie organ. I believe I shall yet see David with a harp, and I will ask him to sing one of tlie songs of Zion. I believe after the resurrection I shall see Massillon, the great French pulpit orator, and I shall hear from his own lips how he felt on that day when he preached the king’s funeral sermon and flung his whole audience Into a paroxysm of grief and solemnity. I have no patience with your transcendental, gelatinous, gase ous heaven. My heaven is not a fog bank. My eyes are unto the hills, the everlasting hills. The King’s ferryboat, starting from a wharf on this side, will go to a wharf on the other side. Friend* to Greet f*. Again, my subject toadies that when we cross over at the last we shall be met at the landing. When David and Ids family went over in tlie ferryboat spoken of in tlie text, they landed amid a nation that had come out to greet them. As they stepped from the deck of the boat to the shore there were thousands of people who gathered around them to express a satisfaction that was beyond description. And so you and I will be met at the landing. Our arrival will not be like stepping ashore at Antwerp or Constantinople among a crowd of strangers. It will be among friends, good friends, those who are warm hearted friends, and all their friends. We know people whom we have never seen by hearing somebody talk about them very much. We know them almost us well as If we had seen them. And do you not suppose that our parents and brothers and sisters and children in heaven have beeh talk ing about us all these years and talk ing to their friends? Bo that, I sup- |>ose, when we cross the river at the last we shall not only be met by all those Christian friends whom we knew on earth, hut by all their friends. They will come down to the landing to meet us. Your departed friends love you now more than they ever did. You will be surprised at the last to And how they know about all the affairs of your life. Why, they are only across the ferry, and the boat Is coming this way, and the boat is going that way. I do not know but they have already asked the Lord the day, the hour, the mo ment, when you are coming across and that they know now, lint I do know that you will be met at the laudiug. The poet Southey said he thought be should know Bishop Heber in heaven by the portraits he had aeon of him in London, and Dr, Randolph said be thought he would know William Cow- per, the jKiet, In heaven from the pic tures he had seen of him in England, but we will know our departed kindred by tlie portraits hung In the throne- room of our hearts. On starlight nights you look up- and I suppose It is so with any one who lias friends In heaven—on starlight nights you look up, and you cannot help but think of those who have gone, and I suppose tiny look down and cannot help lint think of us. But they have the advantage of us. We know not Just where their world of Joy Is. They know where we arc. Glorious Consolation. There was romance ns well ns Chris tian beauty in tin* life of Dr. Adotiiram Judson, the Baptist missionary, when ho concluded to part from his wife, sbo to come to America to restore her health, he to go back to Burma to preach the gospt-1. They had started flora Burma for the Fnltcd States to gether; but, getting near St. Helena, Mrs. Judson was so much better she said: “Well, now I can get home very easily. You go hack to Burma and preach the gospel to those poor pt-oplc. 1 am almost well. I shall soon lie well, and then I will return to you.” After she had made that resolution, tcrrlllo In Its grief, willing to give up her hus band for Christ’s sake, she sat down In her room and with trembling bund wrote some eight or ten verses, four of which 1 will now give you: We part on IhltKrtrn islet, love— Thou for the east ni main; I for the »-itinR tun, love; Oh, when to meet again I aaaMNm When We knelt to see our Henry (iie Am) heard his last faint moan. Each wiped away the other’s tears; Now each must weep alon". And who can paint our mutual joy When, all our wandering o'er. We both shall clasp our infants three At home on liurma's shore? But higher shall our raptures glow On yon celestial plain When loved and parted here below Meet ne’er to part again. She folded that manuscript A re lapse of her disease came on, and she died. Dr. Judson says he put her away for the resurrection on the isle of 8t. Helena. They had thought to part for a year or two. Now they parted for ever so far ns this world is concerned. And he says he hastened on board after the funeral with his little children to start for Burma, for the vessel had al ready lifted her sails, and he says: “1 sat down for some time in my cabin, my little children around me crying, ‘Slother, mother!’ and I abandoned myself to heart breaking grief. But one day the thought came across me ns my faith stretched her wing that we should meet again in heaven, and 1 was comforted.” Was It, my friends, all a delusion? When he died, did she meet him at the landing? When she died, did the scores of souls whom she had brought to Christ and wuo bad preceded her to heaven meet her at the lauding? I be lieve it. I know it. Oh, glorious con solation, that when our poor work on earth is done and we cross the river wo shall be met at the landing. But there is a thought that comes over me like an electric shock. Do 1 belong to the King's household? Mark you, the text says, “And there went over a ferryboat to carry over the king’s household,” and none but the king’s household. Then I.nsk, Do I be long to the household? Do you? If you do, come today and be adopted Into that household. “Oh,” says some soul here, “I do not know whether the King wants me.” He does; lie does. Hear the voice from the throne, “I will be a father to them, and they shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Al mighty.” “Him that cometh unto mo,” Christ says, “I will in nowise cast out.” Come into the King's household. Sit down at the King’s table. Come In and take jour apparel from the King’s wardrobe, even tlie wedding garment of Christ’s righteousness. Come in anti Inherit the King's wealth. Come in and cross in the King’s ferryboat. [Copyright, 1900, Louis Klopsrh, N. Y.] A Remarkable Clergyman. The Rev. Dr. Robert Rainy, now 74 years old. lias been principal of New college, Edinburgh, for 38 years. "He is,” says The Congregationalist, “the most remarkable personage in Scottish ecclesiastical councils. No man has so strong a hold as he upon the Free church or is so often made a presiding officer In its public gatherings. He is unaffected and unassuming, always courteous in speech, with an instinct for divining and guiding the feeling of assemblies. In the religious history of Scotland no event probably will stand out with greater significance than the union into one church of two long di vided branches^ consummated In Edin burgh on Oct. 31, 1900. And no name will be so prominently associated with that event as the name of ITiuelpal Rainy.” What Became of a Career. It will be remembered that a year ago the power was given to Governor Stanley to appoint some girl who would be given her tuition free in a New York ail school. Every section pointed to some girl with a career, hut no mon ey to achieve it; every section begged the governor to make no mistake and lose to the - world a famous artist by appointing the wrong girl After a number of prayerful nights he made Miss Lillian Dyer of Abilene the fortu nate girl with a career.
