T'ulninge represents reliKlon ns u great refreshment and invites all the world to come and receive It; text, <lenesis xxlic, K, “We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.” A scene In Mesopotamia, beautifully pastoral. A wel’ of water of great value in that regioi . The fields around about it white w tli three flocks of sheep lying down waiting for the wa tering. I hear their bleating coming ou the bright air and the laughter of young men and maidens indulging in rustic repartee. I look off, and I see oth er flocks of sheep coming. Meanwhile Jacob, a stranger, on an interesting er rand of looking for a wife, comes to the well. A beautiful shepherdess comes to the same well I see her approach ing, followed by her father’s flock of sheep. It was a memorable meeting. Jacob married that shepherdess. The Bible account of It Is, “Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept.” It has always been a mystery to mo what he found to cry about. But before that scene occurred Jacob ac costs the shepherds and asks them why they postpone the slaking of tin* thirst of these sheep and why they did not Immediately proceed to water them. The shepherds reply to the effect: “We are all good neighbors, and as a mat ter of courtesy we wait until all the sheep of the neighborhood come up. Besides that, this stone on the well’s mouth Is somewhat lienvy, and several of us take hold of it and push It aside, and then the buckets and the troughs are filled, and the sheep are satisfied. We cannot until all the flocks are gath ered together and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.” Ob, this Is a thirsty world! Hot for the head and blistering for the feet and mrching for the tongue. The world’s great want Is a cool, refreshing, satis fying draft. We wander around, and we find the cistern empty. Long and tedious drought has dried up the world’s fountain, but centuries ago a shepherd, with crook In the shape of a cross and feet cut to the bleeding, explored the desert passages of this world and one day came across a well thousand feet deep, bubbling and bright and opalescent, and looked to the north and the south and the east and the west and cried out with a voice strong and musical that rang through the ages, ‘‘Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters!” Gathering; the I-Tocka. Now, a great flock of sheep today gather around this gospel well. There are a great many thirsty souls. I won der why the flocks of all nations do not gather—why so many stay thirsty—and while I am wondering about It my text breaks forth In the explanation, saying, “We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.” If a herd of swine come to a- well, they angrily jostle each other for the precedence; if a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back from the water, but when a flock of sheep come, though a hundred of them shall be disappointed, they only ex press It by sad bleating, they come "to gether peaceably. We want a great multitude to come around the gospel well. I know there are those who do not like a crowd; they think a crowd Is vulgar. If they are oppressed for room in church. It makes them positively Im patient and belligerent. We have had people permanently leave church be cause so many other people come to It. Not so did these oriental shepherds. They waited until all the flocks were gathered, and the more flocks that came the better they liked it. And so we ought to be anxious that all the people should come. Go out Into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come In; go to the rich and tell them they are indigent without thegos- pel of Jesus; go to the poor and tell them the affluence there Is In Christ; go to the blind and tell them of the touch that gives eternal illumination; go to the lame and tell them of the Joy that will make the lame mandeap like a hart. Gather all the sheep off all the mountains; none so torn of the dogs, none so sick, none so worried, so dying, as to be omitted. Why not gather a great flock? * All this city in a flock; oil New York In a flock; all London In a flock; all the world In a flock. "Water For the Thirsty- This well of the gospel is deep enough to put out the burning thirst of the 1,(100,000,OUO of the race. Do not let the church by a spirit of exclusiveness keep tbe world out. Let down all the bars, swing open all the gates, scatter all the invitations, “Whosoever will, let him come.” Come, white and black, Come, red men of the forest. Come, Laplander out of the snow. Come. Pat agonian, out of the south. Come In furs, orae panting under palm leaves. Come due. Come all. Come now. As at (ils well of Blesopotnmla Jacob and l^ichel were betrothed, so this morn- llg at this well of salvation Christ, our ^it-pherd, will meet you coming up \dth your long flocks of cares and anx- Irties, and he will stretch out bis hand U pb-dge of his affection while all heav- en.wlll cry out; “Behold the bridegroom coiu-th! Go ye out to meet him.”' Y^i notice that this well of Mesopo- tnm!\ had ft stone on It, which must be reWed Iwfore the sheep could bo waterej, and I find on tbe well of sal- yatlon (today impediments and obsta cles Hflch must be removed in order that y<>\ may dbtnin tho refreshment and llfey this gospel. In your case the Impc&neQt A pride of heart. Yon cannot IteiF to cauo to so democratic a fountain.' You lo not want to come with «o man^ othrs. It Is as though you w*re thlrsy aWl you were invited to sinks your flnrstpt the town pump Instead of sitting i\ a parlor sipping out of a ehasci chalte which has Just been lifted frui a <ver salver. Not so many publ ans aid sinners. You w»4t to get Ubeavet, but you ho In ft spartil V‘ Wlfa your! Turkish o'.toi^iiii, and n Laud of mu sic on board the train. You do not want to be in company with rustic Ja cob and Unchel and to be drinking out of the fountain where 10,000 sheep have been drinking before you. You will have lo remove the obstacle of pride or never find your way to the well. You will have to come ns we came, Willing to take the water of eter nal life in any way and at any hand and in any kind of pitcher, crying out: “(> Lord Jesus, I am dying of thirst! Give me the water of eternal life, whether in trough or goblet. Give me the water of life. 1 care not In what It conies to me.” Away with all your hindrances of pride from tbe well’s mouth! Gratitude I.nekliiK. Here is another man who Is kept buck from this water of life by the stone of an obdurate heart, which lies over the mouth of the well. You have no more feeling upon this subject than If God hml yet to do you the first kind ness or you had to do God the first wrong. Seated on ids lap all these years, his everlasting arms sheltering you. where is your gratitude? Where Is your morning and evening prayer? Where are your consecrated lives? I say to you, as Daniel said to Belshaz zar, “The God in whose hand thy breath is and all thy way thou hast not glorified.” If you treated anybody as badly as you have treated God, you would have made 500 apologies—yea, your whole life would have been an apology. Three times a day you have been seated at God’s table. Spring, summer, autumn and .winter he has appropriately appareled you. Your health from him. your companion from him, your children from him, your home from him. all the bright sur roundings of your life from him. Oh, man, what dost thou with that hard heart? Canst thou not feel one throb of gratitude toward tbe God that made you and the Christ who came to re deem you and the Holy Ghost who has all these years been importuning you? If you could sit down five minutes un der the tree of a Saviour’s martyrdom and feel his lifeblood trickling on your forehead and cheek and hands, me- thinks you would get some apprecia tion of what you owe to a crucified Jesus. Heart of atone, relent, relent, Touched hy Jesus’ cross, subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood. Sinful soul, what hast thou donef Crucified the eternal Son? Jacob with a good deal of tug and push took the stone from the well’s mouth so that the flocks might be wa tered, and 1 would that this day my word, blessed of God, might remove the hindrances to your getting up to the gospel well. Yea, 1 take It for granted that (he work is done, and now, like oriental shepherds. 1 proceed to water the sheep. Come, all ye thirsty! You have an undefined long ing in your soul. You tried money making; that did not satisfy you. You tried office under government; that did not satisfy you. You tried pictures and sculptures, but works of art did not satisfy you. You are ns much discon tented with this life as the celebrated French author who felt that he could not any longer endure the misfortunes of the world and who said: “At 4 o’clock this afternooTi 1 shall put an end to my own existence. Meanwhile I must toil on up to that time for the sustenance of my family." And he wrote on his book until the clock struck 4, when be'folded up his manuscript and by hi! own hand concluded his earthly life. God Unappreciated. There are men who are perfectly dis contented. ha»> - • « k 681(1 nnv best', . . to the burg: and of nil n.v*-«p p y | n ti, e past, un- unhappy forever un is gospel well. This .’Ith a high, deep, all tirnal satisfaction. It offers the most unfortu- much of this world as is jand throws all heaven In ti. The wealth of Croesus the Kothschilds is onlv a t poor, miserable shilling compared with the eternal fortunes that Christ offers you today. In the far east there was a king who used once a year to get on n scales, while on the other aide the scales were placed gold and silver and gems. Indeed enough were placed there to balance the king. Then at the close of the weighing all those treasures were thrown among the populace. But Christ today steps on one side (lie scales, and on the other side are all the treasures of the universe, ami he says, “All are yours—all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all eter nity; all are yours.” We do not appre ciate the promises of the gospel. When an aged clergyman was dying, a man very eminent In the church, a young theological student stood by his side, and tbe aged man looked up and said to him, “Can’t you give me some comfort In my dying, hour?" “No,” said* the young man, “I can’t talk to you ou this subject.^ . You know all about It aud have known It so long.” “Well," said the dying man, “just re cite to me some prcuillses.” The young man thought a moment, and he came to this promise, "Tke blood of Jesus Christ cleausetb frOra all slu,” and the old man clapped bis bands and in his dying moment said;.^That’s just the promise S have been waltlng for, The blood of Jesus Christ deanseth from all slu.’ ” Oh, the warmth, the gran deur, the magnificence of tbe promises! ’ FoaataJai of Joy, Come also to this gospel well, all ye troubled. I do not suppose you have es caped. Compare your view of this life at 15 years of age with what your view is of It at 40 or 00 or 70. What a great contrast of opinion! Were you right then or are you right now? Two cups placed In your hands, the one a sweet cup, the other a sour cup. A cup of joy and a cup of grief. Which has been the nearest to being full, and out of which have you the more frequently partaken? What ft different place the cemetery Is from what it used to be! Ouoe It was to you a grand city Im provement, and you went out on the pleasure excursion, and you ran laugh Ingiy up the mound, and you criticised In n light way the epitaph. But Mtice the day when you heard the bell toll at the gate when you went In with the procession It Is a sad place, and there Is a flood of rushing memories that suffuse the eye and overmasterTWc heart. Oh, yon have had trouble, mm hie, trouble. G«d only knowajh much you have had. It Is n wonder you have been able to live through It. U.l* ft wonder your nervyus system has tered ami your bruin has i if I could gathfeF all the griefs of all sorts from these crowded streets and could put them In one scroll, neither man nor angel could endure (he recita tion. Well, what do you want? Would you like lo have your property back again? “No,” you say as a Christian man, "1 was becoming arrogant, and 1 think that Is why the Lord took it away. I don’t want to have my prop erty back.” Well, would you have your departed friends back again? “No,” you say, “I couldn’t take the re sponsibility of bringing them from a tearless realm to a realm of tears. I couldn’t do It.” Well. then, what do you want? A thousand voices in the audience cry out: “Comfort! Give ns comfort!” For that reason I have roll ed away the stone from the well’s mouth. Come, all ye wounded of the flock, pursued of the wolves, come to the fountain where the Lord's sick and he reft ones have come. "Ah.” says some one, “you are not old enough to understand my sorrows. You have not been in the world as long as I have, and you can’t talk to me about my mis fortunes in the time of old age.” Well, I may not have lived us long as you, but 1 have been ft great deal among old people, and I know how they feel about their failing health and about their de parted friends aud about the loneliness that sometimes strikes through their souls. After two persons have lived together for 40 or 50 years, and one of them is taken away, what desolation! I shall not forget the cry of Dr. De Witt of New York when he stood hy the open grave of his beloved wife, and after the obsequies had ended he looked down into the open place and said: “Farewell, my honored, faithful and beloved wife. The bond that bound us is severed. Thou art in glory, and 1 am here on earth. We shall meet again. Farewell! Farewell!” The Gospel Promise. To lean ou a prop for 50 years and then have !t break under you! There were only two years’ difference be tween the death of my father and mother. After my mother’s 'decease my father used to go around as though looking for something. He would often get up from one room without any seeming reason and goto another room* and then he would take his cane aiwk start out. aud some one would say, “Father, where are you going?” And he would answer, “I don’t know exact- y where 1 am going.” Always looking for something. Though he was a ten der hearted man, I never saw him cry hut once, and that was at the burial of my mother. After (*U years’ living together it was hard to part. And there are aged people today who are feeling just such a pang as that. 1 want to tell them there is perfect enchantment in the promises of this gospel, and 1 come to them and offer them my arm, or I take their arm aud I bring them to this gospel well. Sit down, father or mother; sit down. See if there is anything at the well for you. Come, David, the psalmist, have you anything encouraging to offer them? “Yes,” says the psalmist; “they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing to show that the Lord Is upright. He Is my rook, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Come, Isaiah, have you anything to say out of your prophecies for these aged people? “Yes.” says Isaiah; “down to old age 1 am with thee, and to hoary hairs will 1 carry thee.” Well, If the Lord Is going to carry you, you ought not to worry much about your ailing eyesight and failing limbs. *God Never Forwrta. You get a little worried for fear that some time you will come to want, do you? Your children and grandchil dren sometimes speak a little sharp to you because of your ailments. Tbe Lord will not speak sharp. Do you think you will come to want? What do you think the I.ord Is? Are Ids gran aries empty? Will he feed the raven aud the rabbit and the lion in the des ert and forget you? Why. naturalists tell us that the porpoise will not for sake its wounded and sick mate. And do you suppose the Lord of heaven and earth lias not as much sympathy as the fish of the sea? But you Bay, “l am so near worn out, and I am of no use to God any more.” 1 think the Lord knows whether you are of any more use or not. If you were of no more use, he would have taken you before this. Do you think God has forgotten you because he has taken care of you 70 c>r 80 years? He thinks more of you today than he ever did because you think more of him. May the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob aud I’aul the aged be your God forever. But I gather all the promises today iu a group, and I ask the shepherds to drive their flocks of lambs and aheej; up to the sparkling supply. “Behold, happy Is the man whom God eorreet- eth.” “Though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion.” “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord dellvereth him out of them all.” “Weeping may eudure for a night, but Joy cometh In the morning.” 1 am de termined that no one shall go out of this house uncomforted. Yonder is a timid and shrinking soul who seems to hide away from the consolations 1 am uttering ns a child with a sore hand hides away from tin physician, lest he touch the wound too roughly, autl the mother has to go and compel the little patient to come out and see the physi cian. So I come to your timid and shrinking soul today nud compel you to come out lu the presence of the Di vine 1‘liyslclan. He will not hurt you. He has been healing wounds for many years, autl he will give yon gentle and omnipotent medicament. A "Well of Gladneaa. But people, when they have trouble, go anywhere rather than to God. De Quince]? took opium to get rid of his troubles, Charles Lamb took to punch, Theodore Hook took to something stronger, Kdwln Forrest took to theat rical dissipation, and men have run all around the earth, hoping In-the quick transit to get away from their misfor tunes. It has been a dead fallun There Is only one well that can slake the thirst of an afflicted spirit, ami that Is the deep aud Inexhaustible well of tbe gospel. But some one In the audience says, “Notwithstanding all you have said this morning, I find no alleviation for my troubles.” Well, I am not thonugh yet. I nave left the most potent con tton for the last. I am going to e you with the thought of heaven. Jowever talkative we may he, there will come a time when the stoutest and most emphatic Interrogation will evoke from mt no answer. As soon (s we h*Y« °*>»«Leur iip,_Xor_iHft lenoe no power on earth can break mat taciturnity. But where, O Christian, will he your spirit? In a scene of In finite gladness; the spring morning of heaven waving Its blossoms In the bright air; victors fresh from battle showing their sears; the rain of earth ly sorrow struck through with the rain bow of eternal Joy; in one group God and angels and the redeemed — Paul and Silas, Latimer and Ridley. Isaiah and Jeremiah, Payson and John Mil ton, Gabriel find Michael, (he archan gel; long line of choristers reaching across the hills; seas of Joy dashing to the white beach; conquerors marching from gate to gate, you among them. Oh, what a great flock God will gather around the celestial well! No stone on the well’s mouth while the shepherd waters the sheep. There Jacob will recognize Bachcl, the shepherdess. Aud, standing ou one side of the well of eter nal rapture your children and stand ing on the other side of eternal rapture your Christian ancestry, you will lie hounded on all sides hy a joy so keen aud grand that no other world has ever ;»ecn permitted to experience it. Out of that one deep well of heaven the Shep- :iord will dip reunion for the bereaved, wealth for tbe poor, health for the sick, rest for the weary. And then all the flock of the Lord’s sheep will lie down iu the green pastures, and world with out end we will praise the I.ord that on this summer Sabbath morning we were permitted to study the story of Jacob and Rachel at the well.
