TALMAGE SERMON X By Rev. FRANK DE WITT TALMAGE. D.D.. Pastor of Jefferson Park Presby terian Cnurch, Chicago Chicago, Aug. 3.—A message of rev erence and upprcciution for people who have passed life's meridian is contain ed in this discourse by Rev. Frank De Witt Taimage on tin* text Psalm xcii, 14, “They shall still bring forth fruit in old age.” Old age is a haunting specter. It has terrorized the generations past more than even the fear of death. The most hated and feared of ail the Grecian philos’op s was he who used to stand upon the street corners of Athens frightening the passersby with these solemn words: “You will be an old man. You will be an old woman.” lie frightened the passersby because most people do not want to become old. They are afraid of coming to the time when they will be a burden to their children and their friends. They are afraid of the time when their earning capacity shall cease, for then, in the race of life, they will be Jostled and left far behind by the speed and the strength of the younger generation. They are afraid of the years when they will have to walk with a carte or cruteli or sit in an invalid chair wait ing for the time when the coffin maker ■will finish their casket and the under taker will order their grave to be dug. To show how depressed some people are over the fact of growing old I would read a letter which I received some time ago from one of my people: Dear Mr Talmas.—l ast night In your sermon you siait-d tiiat this Is the age* for young men. You did not have time to speak one word in favor of the useful ness of the old p opu'. I wus sorry. 1 knew of some sitting near to me who would be heavy hearted on account of their old age. This morning an aged .member of your church called niton me. He said he w.m so depressed over your remarks last night that tie could not sleep With tears in his eyes, he said. “I wonder if old people will lie wanted in heaven." Now. my dear pastor. I would like you. If possible, to preach a sermon upon the blessings of old age. 1 would like you to preach a semon to cheer up those who have pas ed the zenith of their earthly life and are sliding down the oili er side and nearing the landing place of eternity. You will, will you not? It is in answer to the request .in this letter timt 1 am going to speak litis morning to the old folks. 1 will gladly try to refute the popular fallacy that old ago for the Christian is merely a time for tears, for physical and men tal pains, a.id for depressing helpless ness. it was it true thing that an aged minister said to .laeoh A Itiis, the New York reformer, ".My son. I am on tiie sunshiny side of sixty, because 1 am near to the glories of heaven.” The words of my text do not state that an aged Christian's twilight of life upon earth is a gloomy and a sullen sunset. They do emphatically imply that the last days of an aged Chris tian’s earthly life should lie among his happiest and most useful days. Those days should Ik* compared to the time when the orchard's branches are bend ing under tin* heavy load of the rip ened autumnal fruit. OUl Aire'* Testimony. The aged Christian Is able from his own experience to testify of the pro tecting care of a Divine Father’s love. Tbedih'erenee between the testimonybf an old man and a very young man is the difference between knowledge and sup position. between fact and surmise. It is the difference between the words of a veteran who carries the scars, the sword cuts and the bullet wounds of many battlefields and the words of the ruddy faced youth who lias not yet won liis shoulder straps or seen any thing hut the recruiting officer's pa pers. it is the difference between the experience of an old pilot of the Hugh river, the most dangerous navigable river in the world, who has for many years guided the boats up to the wharfs of Caieutia, and the experience of the cabin boy who lias not yet learned how to handle a wheel. It is the difference between the diagnosis of tin* old. gray haired physician who has prescribed for hundreds of fever patients a i (I the diagnosis of the young medical graduate who hits Just re ceived Ins diploma. It is the difference between the words of the young states man just elected to congress and the words of the first president of the United States when he was about to leave the presidential chair for the last time. When George Washington delivered his farewell address at the Inauguration of John Adams, the American people did not reverence his words because he wielded a more trenchant pen than Thomas Jefferson or because In* was a more impassioned orator than Patrick Henry. They rev erenced ids words because be spoke us one having authority. lie spoke as ofie who had led the American armies during the darkest days of the Revo lutionary war. He spoke as one who bad stood at the helm when the ship of state was just launched. He spoke as one who had been willing to offer his life us a sacrifice for bis country’s good. The American people listened to him In the same spirit with which the French audience heard the aged patriot Lafayette when the chairman introduced him with these beautiful words: “Fellow citizens, I would have you listen reverentially to the speaker of the day because sixty years of a noble life are about to address you.” God’a I’romlae True. My aged Christian friend, there may be other brains Just as keen as yours. There may be other hearts Just as willing to make sacrifice for their Lord and Master as yours, but uo Christian can as powerfully testify of the pro tecting care of a Heavenly Father as you can testify unless he cun truly speak out of his own experience. The saint who is nearing the end of life h:is the ei itrer view of heaven. You can speak about lire goodness of God from personal experience, as my fa ther spoke to me a few years before bis death by telling me this remark able incident: When he was it young minister, lie used to keep a diary, in which he made a record of all the re quests be made to God concerning matters which were then weighing up on his heart. By some mishap he lost that diary, and he forgot about those prayers he had offered. Some twenty or ti Irty years later he found that diary. When he opened it and read tin* many requests that he had made nearly a quarter of a century before, Ik* found out that God had answered every one of his prayers. Got! had an swered them with belt r results than even itis faith at that time had dared to hope. So tit * aged Christian opens the book of memory. As he fingers j the many soiled loaves of that book lie .testifies how God cared for him when ; la* was a young m in. lie testifies how God eared for him when he was mid dle aged, and he testifies how the love of God is protecting and caring for him u >w that lie is an old man. He testifies just as the aged psalmist | testified of God's goodness when la* wrote. “I have been young and now am old. yet have 1 not seen the right- i eons forsaken nor ids seed begging i bread." Never let afiy man tell you that the j aged Christian's influence is a useless | influence. The I’ible distinctly says. 1 ••They shall still bear fruit in their old ' age.” No betti r fruit can it bring than the personal testimony of God's faith fulness, which your children will never forget. When skeptics assail them with doubts, they will lie able to say, “My father put God's promises to the ; proof, ami he declared that lie had 1 found them true." Sustained by tin* Gospel. One night in a large infidel meeting , an old gray haired Christian woman | arose and addressed the speaker in j these words: "1 would like to ask the speaker what his infidel beliefs . have ever done for 1dm? My gospel | religion sustained me when I was left | a poor widow with six fatherless ehil- ' dren to support. My religion has given me hope and courage when 1 have had i to stand by tin* brink of an open grave. | My religion lias made me a purer, i trm r. braver woman to face the Strug- | gits of life. That. sir. is what my faith in Jesus Christ lias done for me. ! What have >our infidel beliefs done J for you?” Tin* infidel could not an- j swer The whole audience realized that the Christian woman was speak- 1 ing out of her own life's experience. | So the mightiest witnesses for God , are those whose Christian testimonies j are the outgrowths of the many, many i years that are gone. The aged Christian influences for : good those who arc* near to him be- I cause be is able to lavish upon them a ' wealth of boundless, fervent, tender j Christian affection. While we are i young and even middle aged we spend j most of our time in doing for others | rather than in showing the sweet man- > ifestatiou ef our affections. We are like Martha, who went into the kitch en to cook Jesus a dinner, rather than like Mary, who sat at the feet of Christ. When Jt sus. sad and weary, longing soro For love's sweet service, sought the sis ters' door. One saw the heavenly, one the human guest, Hut who can say which loved the Master best? While we are young or middle aged we are like the busy merchant, who ' spends most of his time in the- store ! and the otiiee in order to earn money ! enough to support Ids children, rather than like the old grandfather and the grandmother, who spend most of their time in spoiling their grandchildren until at last the married daughter turns and says: “Father and mother, I be lieve you love my children better than you ever J ived me when I was young. Anyway, you pet them far more than j you ever petted me." Many a mechanic ! lias but little time to fondle or caress his own children. lie has to leave ^ home for work before the children are ' out of lied, lie does not return until j late at night, when the babies have | been again tinffcd away in their cribs. A AlltMiCv 1 nIt lienee. Editor Crown said that it took him | nearly a filth of a century to find out J how much his father loved him. When | Ik* was a hoy tit home, his father was always busy earning money to support j the family. .Sometimes he was self | absorbed, gruff and stern and seem- i Itigly harsh. But after aV hile his fa- | tiler’s health broke down. Then the boy felt he "ought to leave home, as then* were too many mouths to fill I from ids father's scanty savings. The morning he left tin* old man walked down the road with him. Then the | feeble old father put his hand upon i the young man’s shoulder, aiid tears came into ids eyes and his lip quiver ed as he said: "My boy. I don’t want you to leave home. As long as I have a crust of bread, my child, I am ready to share it with you. You had hotter come back.” “Then," said Editor Brown, “for the first time In my life I realized the immensity of my fa ther’s love. All that day a sweet throated songster kept singing in my heart: Tie loves me. He loves me. Father loves me. Yes, be loves me/ And when, some years later, an evan gelist compared God’s love to a fa ther’s love I arose In that meeting and gave my heart to God. I knew that my earthly father loved me. Yes, I knew that he loved me.” So the Chris tian's old age is the time when he can best demonstrate the wealth of hia affection for those who are near and dear to him and when he can best in fluence them for good. The statement that the aged Chris tian can exercise a mighty Influence for good over the lives of those who are nearest and dearest to him is espe cially true If those dear ones in turn have children of their own. I do not believe a man ever fully appreciates the love of n parent until be himself is married and lias babies about bis own family table. It is only after a man lias had the worries and the anx ieties of liis own home troubling his heart, it is only after he lias stood by tin* side of the cradle and nursed his baby boy through tin* awful sickness of diphtheria, it is only after he has got his own family burial plot and has dug therein a little grave for one of his own bailies, that he begins to fully appreciate what liis father and mother in their time have done for him. The Spirit of Reverence. The aged Christian is able to inspire the spirit of reverence in the hearts of many with whom he comes in con tact. This spirit is a growth, and not an act. It is a germ seed which often takis years and years to develop, and not an entity which springs into being at :t jump or a bound. It generally starts away back in the nursery. If the child learn to respect liis mother, then it is very easy for him to learn as a boy j to respect liis teachers. If the boy learn ; to respect ills teachers, then it is very easy for him as a young man to learn to respect his Christian employers, if a young man respects liis Christian employers, then it is very easy for him as a middle aged man to learn to re spect tin* iiged Christian servants who for years have been living at the Di vine Master’s feet, if tin* middle aged man respect God's aged Christian serv ants, then it is very easy for him to learn to respect the God whom those Christians serve and to communicate Unit respect to others. Thus God uses your physical weak nesses .and your mental helplessness for a purpose. When In* sees you, an aged Christian parent, being tenderly eared for in your old age by a loving son: when lie sees that son giving to you tin* last room in the bouse and the easiest armchair ami the softest lied; when he sees that son trying to make your last days upon earth happy and peaceful, then we cun imagine him saying: "That young man who is caring so tenderly for liis ag< d Chris tian parent is capable of great love for me and my children. The yomv man who is true to his old mother, by f my grace, will always be true to me. | I will honor him because lie lias hon ored one of my aged servants.” Did not God say in liis Ten Command- 1 merits. “Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may he long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee?” Honor Old Ame. A beautiful German story relates how one day a little girl named Jean nette witnessed a great army review. Thou<ands upon thousands of specta tors crowded around the stand, before which tin* emperor was to watch the passing regiments. While Jeannette was seated in the stand she saw an old feeble woman trying very hard to get where she could see. The little German girl said to herself: “It is not right lor me to sit here, when I am strong and well and can stand, while that poor, feeble old woman can see nothing. I ought to honor old age us I want some one to honor me when I am old." Then she gave up her seat to the old woman and went and stood in the cro.vd. But while Jeannette was standing upon her tiptoes trying in vain to see a courtier of the emperor, covered with gold lace, elbowed ids way to her side as he said, "Little girl, her majesty would lie pleased to see you in the royal box.” When the abashed child stood before the em press. she graciously said: “Come hen*, my daughter, and sit with me. 1 saw you give up your seat to that old wom an, and now you must remain by my side." Fo God honors those who honor ids servants. God especially honors those who honor the aged and seem ingly helpless disciples whose earthly pilgrimages are nearly ended. The ag <1 Christian is a living evi deuce that for most of us earthly life is to. I>e very short. Therefore what we are to do for Christ we must do soon or we shall never lie able to do it at all. Sixty or sewnty or eighty years are a very long time to live, but most of us will never live so long. Aye, most of ns will nev -r reach even middle life. If you speak to an aged Christian, you will timl that lie is like a November leaf, hanging almost solitary and alone after tin* thousands and the tens of thousands of autumnal leaves have been torn from their branches by the equinoetii.il winds. You will find that most of ids contemporaries died when h * was comparatively young, that nearly all the r t died when he was in middle life and that only a very few companions of Ids youth are alive to walk by Ids sid**. The statisticians declare that a third of the human race die in infancy. At least one-third of the remainder die before twenty-one years of age have been reached, and only <» or 7 per cent of tin* human fam ily live to lie sixty years of age or over. So the mere presence in this world of an aged Christian, with J)3 or PI per cent of ids contemporaries gone, is a perpetual warning that we must la* about our Father’s business or the deutb summons will come and we shall find that we have accomplish ed nothing. The I'rearnt la the Time. The aged Christians ought to appeal to us in the same way that the final review of the I’otomuc army appealed to the spectators In Washington In 1SG5. In that passing army the places of the dead were kept vacant Aa reg iment after regiment and brigade after brigade marched past the president of the United States there were In some lines only ten or fifteen men. The va cant places showed that hundreds upon hundreds and thousands upon thousands of soldiers who went forth to buttle never came back. Those ragged lines and those torn battleflags showed that there was another great army of the Potomac that day sleep- i hi it 1 : nrve * ei ebes. As tho little band of aged Cm Likins marches past us today we see that it is a mere rein- , ♦ r f t , >.. .. ♦ » jr i which orcr* t-tart ed or.t !iv»r him*’ si b* by side. The whip? lips of the dead ns well as the trenuiii’ig I os of the living Christian vet; rat.a b '<* us : re speaking en tirely di.Lw^rds from those with which tin* (aid ii'.ii philosopher fright ened the t.'vni ihig Athenians. The dead lips of the aged Christian con- temporarim are saying to us: "Most of you will never be old men. Most of you will never be old women. Most of you will die in your youth or in middle life. Therefore, what you are to do for Christ you must do soon or you will never do it at ail.” Perhaps this may be a chimerical fancy, but I believe that some of our aged Christians now living may lie lingering upon this side of the river of death in order to carry to heaven to our departed loved ones the latest news about the dear ones on earth. You know tin* Bible declares that the celestial messengers are continually ascending and descending between earth and heaven. Jacob’s dream was not all a fanciful dream. The sleeping s .u of Isaac saw the angels ascending and descending tho ladder which con nected earth with heaven. So 1 believe tint tiie aged Chri. thins are lingering this side of the Joruan for awhile in ord. r to carry tin* gospel news about ourselves to our loved ones. I remem ber well when a dear old elder of the Brooklyn Tabernacle was dying my father turned to him and said: "Well. Mr. Nichols, goodby for a little while. \\'e shall soon meet again. But, as you an* going ahead < f me to tiie celes tial land, will you hunt up my boy De Wilt and give him my love?" And the old dying elder said. “Yes. Dr. Tal- mage. I will. I will.’’ When tin* wid ower Bishop Haven was dying, he tarned to ids mo. her and said: “Moth er. after 1 have lirst seen the Lord I shall want to hunt up my dear wife. I shall give to her your love. Then I shall want to rest for tin* first thou sand years in tin* green pastures by tin* side of tin* still waters, with my head in tin* lap of my Mary.” Y!oxj8ens.«*r* («» (In* Other Side. And if some of our aged Christian riends are waiting for a little while ifi order to carry the latest gospel news to He dear ones on the oilier side of tin* Jordan, what will they he able to tell our fathers'and mothers, our broth ers and sixers, our wives and little children, who have gone beyond and are jiwaiting our coining? Will they be able to tell them that you and 1 love the Lord Jesus? Will they lie aide to tell our loved ones that they must keep a place by their side for us in one of the heavenly mansions? Oh, my brother ami sister. I see by the tears in your eyes that you are anxious, awfully anxious', in reference to the messajjo which our aged Christian friends shall have to hear. Shall we plead with God that our dear aged friends may Ik* allowed to live just a little while longer so that we all may. here and now. give our hearts to Jesus? Then, ye aged Christian friends, carry the news ns soon as you may to timt bright and happy land. Carry tin* news that, by the blood of Christ, we have all been cleansed from sin. Tell them that we have all been purged with hyssop until we tire clean, that we have been washed until we are whiter than snow. That was a significant experience that Archbishop Leighton had in one of his illnesses. It was thought that he was dying, hut, in answer to the prayers of his friends, he was raised from the threshold of the grave. But the good man did not share the glad ness of Ids friends. He said: "1 did not want to get well. I am an old man, and most of my friends are on the other side, in my last sickness I felt I was like a weary mariner sailing over the sea. I was coming near the harbor of pence. I could see a great bust of my departed loved ones com ing down to the shore and waving to me, and I was waving back. 1 could recognize their different faces. But just ns l was about to cuter the har bor of pence a great storm arose and 1 was driven hack. The storm drove me far out of sight of the heavenly land. Now I must sail the weary voy age of life over again.” And so, my aged Christian friends, I believe that you are tin* favored ones, i You are the Christians who will carry j the message to our dear ones as well as to your own. When you go, I want ' you personally to take to my mother k and father my love, just as my father sent Ids love to liis boy. Tell them for I me that by the grace of God we all i want to moot them soon. Thus, ye aged Christians, I want you to realize that the words of my text wore written for you. “They shall still bring forth fruit in their old age” means that your work and usefulness w II not lie finished until you draw your last breath, until you take your glorious departure. I want you to j realize that your work in life Is Just the same kind of work as was that aged farmer's who was planting some young trees one day, when a neighbor came along and said: “What are you planting those trees for? You will never live long enough to see them grow up.” “No,” answered the old man; “I never expect to see them grow up. but my grandfather planted yonder aged trees so that I could play under them and pluck their fruit, and I want to plant these trees so that my children and my children's children can cat of their fruit after I am dead.” So, aged Christiana, aa your aged purenta sweet ened your life when you were young, you, by the blessing of God, are sweet ening oura. May your-work be to you a happy work until at last the angel of the resurrection comes to call you to your eternal reward. May we be as faithful to our trust as you, who are still faithfully bearing fruit In your old age. {Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsoh.] CROP BULLETIN.
