V. e are ready to do cur part to prove it Do yoa care to xy iti Chicago, June 15.—The inevitable re sults of wrongdoing are forcibly do- scribed in the following sermon by Rev. Frank De Wilt Tnlmage from the text Galatians vi. b. “He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corrup tion.” . Somo familiar texts are like power ful tonics. They have a snap and strength which we do not always find in the water of life when it is held in strange and peculiarly labeled bot tles. They are like the lullabies with which we were sung to sleep in child hood. They have been repeated over and over again by the lips of our de parted loved ones, so that each word is made sacred by holy associations. Every time we speak them it seems as though these words were the ushers welcoming us into the vestibule of the church in which the service was held when we gave our hearts to God. Or these texts are associated with the ser mons of some famous minister, which we have either read or heard. But though many great preachers have spoken from this text and though many holy associations gather around its words yet I would fain speak upon it for two reasons; First, because 1 am passionately fond of the country. Therefore any text which lias in it the figure of tho sower and the reaper, any cimile which is scented with the smell of the new mown hay or of the clover tops, any figure which echoes the song of the wood robin or the call of the nightingale, any text which is glinted with the golden colors of the wheat fields or reddened with the hectic flush of the autumn leaf, has for me an in tense and suggestive fascination. My heart never beats more exultantly than when it is keeplnv time to the music of the mowing machine or to the swish of ilie swinging sc.uhe. Tho second reason why 1 speak from this text today is because the spring time of the year, when the American sower went forth to sow, is only a few weeks past. The plows only a short time ago had the rust of many months rubbed off tiieir sharp noses. The har row's teeth are yet white from ehewing and breaking the sods. And the sower, with ids bag of seed hanging upon one arm and his handful of seed swinging at tlie end of the other arm. only a Short time ago. with tncasur • 1 tread, went aeross the fiel Is. seat! ring the see.ia In the right and to the I -ft. May ' God help us to touch the less ms of a sinner's retribution iu the language of the spring plowing. The See<I ami <bt* Harvest, Tho seeds of the flesh by the inexora ble law of the fields can only produce the harvests of the fit sh. This state ment is an axiom, a self evident fact. So self evident is the law that the seeds winch are planted only produce harvests aft< r their kind that a United States agricultural department has been established, the chief purpose of which is to introduce into the different localities the right kind of seeds for the Lest development of the different kinds of crops. Tiie official head of this de partment is a member of the presi dent's cabinet. Every year at public expense thousands of seed packages are scattered over the country. Each congressman has an allotment foe gra tuitous distribution among his rural constituents. As there is a spiritual law In the natural world so there is a natural law in the spiritual world. And the sower to the flesh has no more right to expect to reap the harvest of the sower to the spirit than a farmer has a right to ex pect to gather a crop of barley from wheat seeds or a crop of oats from corn seeds or a crop of rye from cotton seeds or a crop of potatoes from musk- melon seeds Any sinner who is trying to argue himself into a different spirit ual belief is not only mocking God. but making himself ridiculous. Elon Foster tells us that one day a sinful Roman muster told his Christian slave to go into a certain field and sow u crop of barley. When the time of harvest came, the master returned to that field and found there a harvest of oats ready to be garnered. In indigna tion lie called his slave ami asked: “Did 1 not command you to sow here a field of HarleyY Why. then, have ye sown oats?" The Christian slave an swered. “Master. 1 sowed oat seed in the hope that they would grow up into barley.” II is master grullly said: “What foolishness is this? Has ever any one heard that oat seeds will pro duce a harvest of barley?” “Ah, mas ter.” replied the Christian slave, “you yourself are constantly sowing In the world the seed of evil, and yet you ex pect to reap in the resurrection day the fruits of virtue. Therefore I thought also that I might get barley by sowing oats.” And the sinful master was abashed and could not answer a word. “A Few Wild Onls.“ Go where you will you will find that the sower to the flesh always reaps a harvest of corruption. Sit with the Judge upon the bench, and he will tell you that tho young man standing be fore him for sentence did not think that the seeds of sin which he planted in secret would ever take root and be gin to sprout. He did not think that his sowing a few “wild oats” would over cause his downfall. Yet God was watching li'm sow those seeds. His employers wore watching him. Al most every large business house in the great cities has spies detailed to fol low the tracks of its employees. So when the money disappeared from the safe tho detectives naturally hunted up the young man who spent his Sundays at the races, the one whose compan ions were not what they ought to have been. They naturally came to that young man and put the hands of tho law upon his shoulder, saying: “Come, young man. The convict’s cell awaits you. Come!” Charles Stewart Parnell was one of the keenest, shrewdest, most farseeing parliamentarians Ireland ever pro duced. For years, alone and single handed, he fought the British parlia ment But Charles Stewart Parnell, genius though he might have been,was not able to destroy the harvest of his secret sin. How, then, can the ordinary young man who has sown the evil seeds hope to be declared guiltless when Charles Stewart Parnell had to reap from the flesh u harvest of cor ruption? The physician in the sickroom Mill teach you that the sower of the flesh | always reaps the corruption of the flesh. Upon the bed of suffering lies an invalid. He may pray, he may groan, he may promise to do right In the fu ture, hut the physician says: “No, my friend; good intentions do not eradicate the physical wrongs of the past. You must reap the seeds of gluttony, the seeds which once sparkled in the wine cup. the seeds of iate hours, the seeds of the defiance of moral laws. Dying man, you must reap the harvest of the sins of the flesh which you have sown.” Stand with the minister in his pulpit, and he will teach you the same lesson. He will tell you that though a man may repent of his sins he must up to the grave's edge suffer from his past misdeeds. God may forgive the sinner and all the results of the past evil may cease when the sinner robes himself in tho white garments of the redeemed, but all through the remainder of the sinner's earthly career he must suffer for the evil which he has done. The minister will tell you that one of the saddest sights of Christian work is to see an old man who has been converted at the eleventh hour hobbling along upon his cane through the harvests of corruption which surround him every where. He stumbles through the har vests which have come from the seeds \ of ins own planting. Inexorable L.imm of Hie FG-ld*. The seeds of the flesh by the inexora ble laws of the fields are expected to produce more of a harvest than the original seeds which have been sown. It would be folly for the fanner to sow 500 kernels of corn if be could only re ceive in return half a dozen ears of corn; to plant twenty or thirty peas if he could gather in return hut a few pod or to labor at all if for every planted seed there would come up only one kernel in returh. But when the farmer has a small bag of wheat seed j he says to himself: “Now, If 1 properly plow and harrow the ground and plant those seeds right 1 will he able to gath er a whole field of golden grain. One of my seeds will he able to reproduce ilself many, many times.” Benjamin Franklin once said that the reproduc tive power, the proiilieness of vegeta ble life, is simply inconceivable and without limit. V. e all remember Daniel De Foe’s story of the* shipwrecked sail or. lie found half a dozen small wheat seeds. From those few seeds he was able to develop all the wheat he want ed, both for himself and his negro serv ant. It would be a happy solution to the sinner if when he sowed one evil seed he should get back only one evil re sult. But that is not the way the har vests of the flesh grow. One evil seed will become the parent of many evil seeds, the grandparent of a host of evil seeds and the great-grandparent of a lifetime of evil harvests. A sower unto the flesh always reaps more corruption than he expected to gather. A notorious pirate was hanged in New York city about a century ago. Just 1 efore his execution he testified that the first time he murdered a man his horror and remorse were so great that he could not sleep for weeks. But after this monster had continued to wet his lips with human blood he de clared that he could drive his sword into the heart of a woman or a little child with no more compunction than he would bury his teeth in a piece of bread. He would sleep as peacefully after murdering a ship's crew as when a babe he closed ids eyes in his moth er's arms. The first lie is the difficult lie to tell, not the tenth, not the twen tieth. not the fiftieth. It is the first glass of whisky which is the hardest to drink, noi the one which the drunk ard takes just before he enters the rep tile Inhabited dungeons of delirium tre mens It is the first seed of sin which is hard 1o sow. not tho fiftieth nor the one hundredth. And each one of the tares sown in able to reproduce itself in evil habits a millionfold. A sower always expects to reap more than he plants. And if the evil results of tare plant ing are so awful in reference to our own lives how much more awful must be the results when we plant those tares in the lives of others. A woman who had talked unjustly against her neighbors once went to s priest for confession. After she told the priest the evil she had done her neighbors she asked him what she should do to undo the wrong. The priest gave her a hand ful of nettle seeds and bade her go and scatter those nettle seeds ov<*r a fleid and then come back to him. After the woman had done as she was told she came hack to the priest “Now.” said the priest, “go and gather those nettle seeds up again." "Oh.’’ said the wo man. “I cannot.” “Neither.” answered the priest, "can you ever undo the wrongs which you have done against your neighbors." Awful must lie the remorse when a converted man realizes that by his sinf d sowing he has de veloped a harvest of corruption in the benrls of bis neighbors, if he has planted there the evil seeds, some of them will come up. The natural and spiritual laws are the same. Harvest Comes Sooner or Eater. The seeds of the flesh do not necessa rily produce the harvests of the flesh Instanter. A long time may Intervene between tli * time of planting and of reaping. Twice during the year the farmer goes forth to sow. There is the spring planting. Then the rye. the bar ley, the oat seed is scattered. Then the corv seed is placed in the ground. Then the timothy seed is thrown over tho field, so that the farm stock can have hay during the winter months. Hardly are.these seeds placed in the ground than the spring showers make the little tender sprouts come up. Then the fields everywhere are carpeted with green.* But there is a fall planting as well ns a spring planting. Just before the summer birds migrate to the south in order to escape the blizzards an<T the howling of the winter storms the fann er goes forth and scatters his wheat seed. These seeds lie dormant tinder the snows during the long December. January, February and March months. If any gravedigger on his way to ex hume a Yoriek's skull should stop and drive his pick into that wheatfield and examine those seeds, he might think they were ns dead as the king's jester. But when spring comes those wheat seeds which have lain dormant so long are roused by the blast of the spring’s resurrection. And a wonderful fact about nature's laws is that the deeper the snows, the longer the winter and the longer those wheat seeds lie dor mant the stronger and more virile is the grain when it begins to grow. So some of the taros or the sins of the flesh which we have sown in the past may seem to take a very long time in developing. We may think because we have sinned and never yet been punished and have kept on sinning five hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times that we never will be punished, that we n«?ver shall have to gather our harvests of corruption. But we will! As the Lord God Omnipotent liveth we will! Christ in the parable of the tares explicitly states this fact. As the householder he bade his servants let the tares continue to grow by the side of tic* wheat, but when the reap ers come they will first gather th** tares into bundles and destroy them. Sinner, do not deceive yourself. God is not mocked. Do not think because the day of retribution has been postponed that the seeds of the flesh are dead when they are merely dormant. As the long delayed wheat harvest is the strongest harvest, so the longer the punishment of the sins of the flesh is postponed the greater and the more awful will be the harvests of corrup tion. A Molli€*r's Kc*j*ni-o;. I once saw a woman reaping her har vest of the Hash which she had planted a fifth of a century before. It was in our old Brooklyn home. The doorbell rang. I went to the door and ushered into the i arlor a lady dress--d in deep mourning. Her face revealed the marks of ini •nso suffering. When my father came down in .answer to my summons, tho lady began to plead with h:i i to Intercede with the governor for the life of her boy. He was a young man under sentence of death. He was tti be and was electrocuted within six weeks. “Dr. Talmage," she said, “I want you to plead with the governor because my hoy's life is all the result of my past sins. When he was a little child, ho was vory sick. The doctors gave him up and said he had to die. Then I knelt by my son's bed and de fied God. I said: ‘O God, 1 will not let him die! Ho shall not die! You can de stroy his soul, you can destroy mine, but I will not and shall not give him up.' Then, strange to say. Dr. Tal mage. the hoy had a sudden change to ward physical recovery. In spite of all the doctors said, he got well. But, sir, from that minute my life was changed toward God. and now 1 must reap the results of my past sins in my boy's execution. Oh, sir, will you not plead with the governor to pardon my boy on account of his mother’s sins?” That woman reaped the harvest of her cor ruption twenty-two years after the seed of sia was sown. So when we sow to the flesh sooner or later we shall all reap our earthly and eternal har vest of agony. The seeds of the flesh always pro duce such great harvests that many pairs of hands Instead of one pair must be employed in the reaping. One Aian can plant In h day what it will take a score of men the same time to reap. The sower would be helpless if he himself had to gather in all the re sults of his sowing. So every farmer has to look ahead to prepare for tiie harvest time. And if he is the owner of a large farm he rides around tiie country engaging extra laborers for the reaping. When tiie wheat is ripe it must he cut and carried into the barns right away, else the grain will fall off and the farmer will have no results from his planting but straw, which he uses for stall bedding. Six. seven, eight mouths of the year you may find unemployed men in the coun try. But during harvest time every healthy man can find work and big wng**«. i? he is only willing to work and knows how to wield a scythe or how to tie up the sheaves of grain. Who are the reapers engaged be forehand to help the sower to the flesh gather In his greatest harvest, which is to he garnered at tiie brink of the open grave? They are the demoniac reapers. They are Satan and nil his evil spirits. They are the demons that live In the impenetrable darkness of a lower world. They are the demons who will gather only the most corrupt of harvests. It Is said that the week before Mazarin, the sinful French car dinal. died he hobbled through his art galleries crying and moaning: “Must 1 p*ave you. oh. my beautiful pic tures? Must 1 give you up?" And the day before he died b.* had himself roused and painted, and his servants passed before him and bowed and kissed his hand and mockingly told him how well he looked. Ann when the French statesman died h<- was bol stered up in bed, playing a game of cards! But when the S: mu' - reapers came to gather that man's harvest of corruption they did not take along Mazarin’s pictures or his cardinal’s hat, which he had disgraced. They only took away his sinful and depraved heart. Mazarin sowed to the flesh. The Satanic reapers garnered the cor ruption. The Way of Kscn;»e. ‘Well,” says some discouraged soul, convicted of his past sins, “what am I to do? I fully realize my evil past. Must I die an eternal death? Is there no hope for me?" Yes. my brother, there is hope for you if you repent of your sins and throw yourself upon Christ’s mercy, as wide as the forgive ness of God. I only quoted one-half of the verse from which my text was tak en. The last half of the verse reads thus, “But he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlast ing.” The first half is a red light of warning flashed far out over the trou bled sea of sin. The second half is a beacon inviting you up the Narrows to the harbor of Peace. First, my brother, you must get your heart right for the spiritual seed plant ing. In the far east the ancient plow was made out of wood and not from iron. Y’ou must let the beam of the cross plow up your sinful heart. Then, having prepared the ground for the spiritual seed planting, jou must go to work for God with ten times, one hun dred times—aye, with a thousand times —the zeal you have ever felt as a disci ple of sin. You must enlist yourself, body, mind and soul, for the gospel planting. As I said before, you can not change tiie past. The past is dead. But. oh. by the power of the Holy Spir it you can spiritualize the future! You can make your last earthly days hon ored days in heaven and on earth, be cause they have been lived for God and to help your sinful fellow man. “Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely.” That means you; that means me. We can all come. “No,” you answer. “I will not. I can not. I dare not come to Christ now. 1 have had too black a past. I lave sown too many evil seeds to the flesh. I feel a great deal like that young col lege boy who was dying from an acci dent in Edinburgh. When the chap lain knelt by his bedside and said. ‘My lad. will you repent of your sins and look to Christ?’ he answered: ‘No, sir. I have served the devil all my life, and served him well, and now at tins Dst moment I would not he so mean as to ask ("liinst to take my broken down body and my wreck of a life. No, sir. I would not be so mean.’ ” Sow to the S.iirit Now. But, my sinful friend, even with all your sinful past, is that right? Is that what Christ would have you d >? If you had a wayward boy, ami he had run a .my from home and trample,] upon your bleeding heart for many years, would /on want him to stay away and die hardened against you and bitter inert ly because he had been sinful and wayward? No! If you knew where he was dying today, you would lake the very first train to him. You would go, if necessary, without even a change of garments. You would walk up and down the train while it was in motion, because your anxiety would not let you sit still, and you would rush into the hospital and rush to the ward and throw yourself by his bed just to give him a kiss of love and pardon. So Jesus today bogs you to live for 1dm and come to him. My brother, will you lot the cross be the plow to change your heart? Will you take the good seed in your hand and go forth to sow to the Spirit, so that you may reap life everlasting? When John Todd was lying upon his dying bed. lie had a strange vision. An angel seemed to lead him up and up until the dying man stood upon the heights of a great mountain. Then the angel asked him. "Dying man, dost thou see anything?” And as John Todd shaded his eyes to look he saw away off in the distance a fiend incar nate. The face of that fiend had upon it the look of unutterable woe. The features were so hideous and the suf ferings of this lost spirit were so great that John Todd hid his face in his hands, crying: “Enough, enough! 1 cannot look any longer. Then the angel turned and said. "That lost spirit, O. dying man. would have been your own had not your soul been cleansed by tho blood of the Lamb.” Then the angel of the Lord said, “Look, O dy ing man, look!” And as John Todd lifted his eyes again, behold, there was seen another spirit. It was garmented with a robe as white as the driven snow. The eyes were as loving as the purest love could express. The lips were moving in Joyful praise. The bauds were clasped about the figure of a cross. Then again spake the angel of the Lord. “Dying man, that Is to he your redeemed spirit, your spirit cleans ed by Christ’s blood, your spir.t which shall never die.” Then John Todd awoke. He said he knew not whether he had seen a vision or had been talk ing face to face with Christ. So. like John Todd’s vision, this ser mon teaches two lessons: The one points down the road over which are dragged the tares that are to be burned in the everlasting fires. The other points down the road over which the sheaves of wheat are triumphantly carried into tiie gospel granaries. May the prayers of our loved ones and the sacrifice of Christ plead prevailingly with us not to sow corruption, but life everlasting. Yet all human beings are free agents to do as they will. They can accept or reject Christ. They can gather either harvest. “For whatso ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” [Copyright, 19T!. Louts Klopsch, N. Y.] Announcements: For the Senate.
