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

sage of David and Ids family across
tlie river Jordan.
My subject, in the first place. 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.

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. She was en
gaged in the study of art in New York
Just three mouths when she became en
gaged, and she was married Thursday.
