W’ABmMUTON, Aug. 11.- In this dis
course In*. 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.

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.

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

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

this summer Sabbath morning we were
permitted to study the story of Jacob
and Rachel at the well.
