Xov. 8.—In this sermon the preacher urges a return to the “old paths’’—the simple Christian faith in the Saviour and Ids promises—as the only means of securing the greatest of blessings, relief from the oppressive burdens of life, which bear heavily on humanily. The text's Matthew xi, 28. “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Like the sensitive opal, this text shines best when it has been heated by the tires of tribulation. Like the dia mond, it glitters and sparkles bright est when it has been eut by the lapi dary of trouble. Like some of the autumnal fruits, it ie sweetest to the parched lips when It has been frost bitten. Like the morning sunrise, it is the most gladly welcomed by the poor, tired invalid, who, nnable to sleep during the long, weary hours of the night, has tossed upon the hot, fevered pillow and wished for the day. Like the sight of the okl homestead, it is most desired by the ragged out cast of a repentant prodigal, wearied witli his journey from the far country, who sees again his father’s home, where he shall find forgiveness and love. These old promises of the Bible, of fering rest and peace to those who are troubled and in pain and sin, have a far different meaning to us after we have been compelled to lift the cup of sorrow to our lips and drink its con tents to the bitter dregs. When we first begin to study (loti’s word we are like to that young man who for the first time stood before a famous pic ture. All the artistic world was ren dering homage to that canvas and de claring that it was a masterpiece. Yet what did tlu* young man in his igno rance say? “Ah, yes, that is a very pretty picture, hut I do not see any thing so wonderful In it.” But after awhile that young man began to study art. In his studies he developed the latent or dormant artistic powers of his mind and soul. He not only stud ied in the art schools of America, but In* crossed the seas and went to the schools of France anil Italy. He sat at the feet of the great masters. Then, fresh from his studies, he came back and stood a second time before that same picture. Now it seemed to him a different canvas from that which he first saw. Ilis cheek flushed; his eye grew bright; he looked at that picture first from one side of the room and then from the other. At last, after many minutes of glorious soul thought, he cried out In rapture: “Beautiful! Beautiful! Is it not beautiful?” When young men and young women first open the Bible the gospel promises in reference to sorrows and heavy bur dens do not appeal very strongly to them. Their horizons are always rain- bowed. Their hillsides are always hanging gardens and terraced vine yards. Their bodies always seem to have the warm, rich blood of perpetual youth coursing through their veins. A physician’s prescription is not sought after by the well nor an oculist by those having good eyes. But when, like that young man who studied in the art schools of Europe, after we have been compelled to take a long course In the “school of adversity” and then postgraduate course after postgraduate course, oh, then how dif ferent God’s sweet promises appear to us! " An Interpretation. Today I would talk to those who have floundered knee deep and chin deep in the quicksands of trouble. I would try to interpret for you what the gospel rest of my text means. I would Interpret It not only for those who have found this rest, but also for those who may be persuaded to seek It as a God given blessing at the foot of the cross. What is your burden, my brother? Perhaps it Is some sorrow common to the whole human race. It is very heavy and no lighter from the fact that others are bearing the same load. Perhaps It is some trouble pecul iar to yourself that you cannot bear to describe even to a friend. “Every heart knoweth its own bitterness;” but, what ever it may be, the Invitation Christ gives is for you. He offers you rest from the over whelming burden of sin. This was the heavy pack which nearly crushed the tired pilgrim in Runyan’s great alle gory. It Is the heavy burden that makes the hearts and brains and eyes and feet and hands and the backs of all terrific ally ache during the sad journey of life. The past and the present, like the Si amese twins, are Inseparably joined. From a human standpoint we cannot live in the “today” without feeling the blistered lips of the “yesterday” breath ing upon our cheeks. In Dante’s “In ferno” there was one region in which suffering spirits had their necks twist ed by the king of terrors. While they might be walking In one direction their eyes were always turned to the rear. In life’s journey the remorseful eyes of the unforgiven sinner are always turn ed to the rear. They are always look ing at the threatening results of evil deeds which may have been committed years ago. “Oh.” says the royal prose cuting attorney, M. de Villefort, In Du mas’ greatest story, “if I could only get rid of the burdens of my past sins! But I cannot; I cannot.” No; he can not. The evil results of those sins, like .1 hound upon the track of a hare, nev er lose their scent. They track the sin ner from town to town; they track him Into the Parisian capital: they track him until at last Villefort’s reason be comes deranged, and as a madman he passes the rest of Ids life behind iron bars. 1 read only a short time ago of an old man who was at last brought to justice on account of a sin of his youth. In a northern state over a quarter of a century ago he commit- teil a murder and fled, lie went to live in the mountainous regions of Kentucky. He married there and reared a large family of children. Aft er his hair was white and back bent the sleuthhounds of the law found him. He was arrested and handcuffed. Ho was brought back to his childhood home. In his old age he had to an swer for the crime of his youth. An unforgiven man can never get any rest from the heavy, remorseful bur den of sins, no matter when they were committed. These unpardoned sins will curse his life as they bespattered the beautiful hands of Lady Macbeth with the blood of the murdered Dun can. Tliey will hiss at him as the haunting specters terrified the sleep ing King Richard after the murder of his two nephews or as the cries of the dying during the St. Bartholomew’s massacre never coast'd to echo in King Charles’ cars. You tell me that a sin committed can never be undone. Y'ou say that the guilty can never become Innocent; that the soul stained and polluted with transgression can never Ik? made clean. From a human standpoint that is true, but there is a divine remedy that ef fects even that miracle. Christ has borne the penalty for the sins of the world, and through his blood shed for you your soul may be cleansed. “He was wounded for our transgressions; h« was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our pence was ui>on him, and by his stripes we are healed.” Many years ago a young Russian of ficer became hopelessly in debt. By the law of that time he would have been expelled from the army on ac count of these debts. One night he sat up in Ids tent making an account of these debts and wrote under them these words: “Who will pay my debts?” Tlien in utter discouragement the young man fell sound asleep, with his head on the table. That night tin? emperor was making his rounds of the camp. He saw the candle burning in the young man’s tent and stepped in. There he saw the paper and the trou- bled look upon the young officer’s face. He read the memorandum, ami then hi? picked up the pen and wrote under the question, “I, Nicholas, the emperor of all the Russias, will.” Today, like the Russian emperor, Christ, the divine sufferer, will pay the price of your sins; Christ the King will lift the heavy burden of our evil past; Christ’s death shall cancel our well deserved sentence of capital punishment. Oh, the joy. the peace, the rapture, the glorious tri umph of feeling, that Jesus can lift the heavy load of sin off from every crush ed heart! Brother, sister—man, wom an and child—if you have not yet re ceived this glorious rest which comes from the forgiveness of sins will you not at the foot of the cross kneel and take it now? A Heavy Barden. The Heavenly Father offers rest from financial distress. The older I grow the more I realize that the greatest struggle on earth is after daily bread. Most people are not fighting for the luxuries, but for the bare necessaries. If a man gets $50 or $100 ahead in the bank then comes some dangerous sick ness in the family. Ills daughter is threatened with blindness, and she has to go to the best oculist and have the most expensive glasses, or his wife breaks down, and she must go off for rest, and extra servants are hired, and the whole sum of money is soon swept away. Said a young man of about thirty- five years of age to me a short time ago: “I have no sympathy for people who financially do not get ahead. If they would systematize their business and work regularly they would have plenty of money.” “Yes,” I soliloquiz ed as I looked at him, “that Is all well enough for you to say. You have a mother who has supported you all your life. You have never known what it is to pay a dollar for rent. Only a few clothes have ever come out of your salary. What would you have done If you had four or five children and had to live upon your salary and perhaps support a widowed mother or an or phan sister, as many, aye, most men, have to do?” Life for the most of us Is a ceaseless struggle for a bare phys ical existence. The financial burden is the heavy one to bear. Most of us are ready to grant that. That burden, too, Christ will bear If you commit It to his hands. Your anxiety, your distress, your fore boding, he will relieve, and he will give you rest. “Now,” says some one, “the preacher Is talking simple non sense! If I do not get out and hustle and work and worry and get the mon ey to feed and clothe and educate my children God will never do It for me. I do nof*beHeve In expecting that God will relieve me of my financial distress any more than I would expect the wa ter to boll in the kettle If I did not have a fire In the stove or my cupboard be full of food unless I could order It at the grocer’s or the butcher’s. When you begin to talk about God carrying the burden of financial distress then you are simply talking about some thing you know nothing abont.” God Never Falls. No, my brother, you are wrong. The mightiest men of God have always rolled at Christ’s feet the burden of financial distress, and God has never failed them. By that I do not mean these men have been lazy or Indolent But I do mean that while they were physically and mentally doing their I level best to earn the necessary amount | for their livelihood they were at the same time placing their financial obli gations before Christ and asking him j to furnish in his own way the neees- J sary means. Ftudy the life of Moody. ! Who furnished him the money with j which to carry on his great work? j God; cmi4iatieally God. When Mr. Moody received his invitation to go anil hold evangelistic services in England and Scotland he practically did not , have a cent. He accepted the invita tion. lie engaged passage upon a trails- j atlantic steamer. The time grew near er and nearer for him to sail. Some one asked him where he was going to get the money with which to sail. “I do not know.” he answered, “but God ! will send it in time. I am going upon his mission.” About wo or three days before he was to sail a gentleman walked into his otllee and said: “Mr. Moody, I hear you are going to Europe. I thought you might want a little mon ey. Here is $500, if you will take it.” “Thank you,” answered Moody. He took it. He took not as from man, but from God. That $500 paid Mr. Moody’s passage over to England, so that he could preach Jesus Christ in the home of Robert McCheyne and John Robert son and Rowland Hill. Study the history of George Muller. In some respects his is the most inspir ing Christian history of the nineteenth century. Who built for him his great institutions of mercy? Man? No; God. Mr. Muller never directly asked one cent of any man. He went ahead in faith. If ho needed money he would go to God and ask for It as confidently as a child would go and ask money from a father or mother. God never failed George Muller. He will never fail us financially if we will only do the work God has given us to do. A Hint to Chnreh Members. And, my dear Christian friends, this plea to roll the financial distress of your lift? upon Christ brings up a very pertinent lesson which ought to be practiced by all our churches. Do you know why the average Christian church is having such hard work to get along financially? At the end of the year a few rich men have to put their hands in their pockets and make up the heavy deficit. It is because these churches in looking after the temporal life of their members instead of the spiritual are not doing their duty. The best way to get a full church treasury is not, ns some people suppose, to have a bazaar, or an oyster supper, or an evening’s entertainment of Mrs. Jarley’s waxworks, or a con cert. The true way to get a full church treasury is to have a full pray er meeting. If the rich men of a church, the leading men officially, would set the right example to the av erage church members and come to the weekday meetings and take a Sunday school class and practice prayer in public as well as in private then there would he no difficulty in meeting the financial obligations of the boards of trustees. If we, tbe members of a church, honestly and faithfully do the work of our church in a spiritual way God will see to it that we shall be able to easily carry its financial burdens in a temporal way. Man’a Ambition*. The Heavenly Father offers rest al so In reference to the salvation of our children and loved ones. Nearly every healthy normal man has two ambi tions. The one is to live long. If I had my own way and could still live in health and strength and live amid the surroundings I am paving today as far as I can make out*! would like to live on earth at least 1,875 years. When I think of all the glorious oppor tunities of working on earth for my Lord and Master I would not volun tarily change places with the brightest robed denizen of all the redeemed im mortals in heaven. I feel a great deal lu reference to my earthly work as did the elder of a Presbyterian church. When he was very sick some one came to him and said, “My brother, how hap py you ought to be that you may soon associate with the angels.” “Yes,” an swered the sick man, “that may all be true, but as far as I .can make out 1 would on earth for a little while at least rather associate with one wo man of flesh and blood, called my wife, whom I know and love, than with any twenty angels with whom at the pres ent time I am unacquainted.” The second ambition which nearly every healthy, normal man has is not only to live long in an earthly sense, but some day to own a large home, In which he can gather all his children and grandchildren and friends and loved ones about him. And If a man longs to have an earthly home, where he can collect his loved ones, how much more must the Christian long that in his heavenly home he may be able to collect all bis dear ones, his children and brothers and sisters and parents and friends—those who are bound to him by ties of love as well as of blood. There Is not a true Christian man or woman who has not felt at heart the heavy burden of an unsaved child or relative or friend. Ah, that Is a heavy burden to bear! If I would throw this meeting open to ask for requests for prayers from all over this house people would rise and say: “Pray for my hus band,” “Pray for my child,” “Pray foi my brother,” “Pray for my roommate,” “Pray for my sister.” Bnt, friend, why do yon ask this pulpit to pray for your loved one? Why do you not bring that burden, that heavy burden of the sal vation of your child or husband, to Christ? Does not Jesus want you to do this today? If Christ will carry the heavy burden of financial distress sure ly he will bear the heavier burden of the salvation of yonr children. The Goapel Promlae. Some years ago a noted evangelist was holding a series of meetings in the church of which I was then pastor. Among the thrilling incidents which he told was one that appeared to me at that time very farfetched. I said it could not be so. He described how u mother had a wayward boy who had run away to sea and was at that time In an Asiatic port. Tills mother care fully studied the Bible and came to the conclusion that site had a right to ask for the salvation of her boy and that she would then and there throw tbe burden of his salvation upon Christ. Sin? went to her room, after giving word that under no condition was she to be interrupted. Then she opened the Bible, laid It upon a chair and knelt down. Then she began to pray for the salvation of that boy. She said: “O God, Jesus has said that if I ask anything in his name thou wilt grant my request. I am going to stay here pleading upon my knees for the salvation of my child until thou hast given to me the sweet consciousness that he Is saved.” She stayed there from ti until 7, 7 until 8, 0 until 10, 10 until 11, until 5 o’clock In the morning that woman stayed. Then she arose from her knees and said, “My Heavenly Father, thou bast* answered my prayer.” “At that very time,” said the evangelist, “the boy in the foreign port was convicted of sin and sent a letter home to his mother that he had given his heart to Christ.” But as I after ward began to ponder over the story, in the light of the Scriptures and of personal history, I came to the conclu sion that that story was true or at least by gospel promise could be true. We have a right to ask for the salva tion of our loved ones. AbjiI If we ask and plead faithfully and truly God will answer our prayers. Oh, that we might, one and all, here and now, eutor luto a holy conspiracy of prayer for the salvation of our loved ones! This was the way a great re vival wave was started in one of my old churches. It was by Christian peo ple, members of that church, getting to gether week after week and praying for distinct Individuals. It was in this way that my grandmother and grand father were converted. Rome of you may have heard the wonderful story written by tbe pen or spoken by the lips of my father. It was by a com pany of earnest and tearful mothers gathering together at a certain time of the day in the barns to pray for the salvation of their children until scores and hundreds stood up in tbe little vil lage church of Somerville to confess Christ, and the whole region was moved by the power of the Holy Ghost. It Is by a conspiracy of prayer that a re vival can always be started and our loved ones swept Into tbe kingdom by a tidal wave of mercy. KfHcacy of Prayer. The great trouble with the Christian church as a whole and with Christians ns individuals is that we have broken away from Unsold anchorage of gospel truth. We have lost faith in God that he is able to do all things; we have lost faith In prayer; we have lost faith in the power of the Holy Ghost. And the great mission of the Christian pul pit today is to revive in tbe pew the old gospel seeds of faith and hope. When Wilton Merle Smith was called to the Central Presbyterian church of New York city be said to the commit tee which waited on him: “You do not want me as your pastor. I am not an Intellectual teacher; I am only a simple gospel preacher.” “Ah,” answered the men, “that Is the reason we want you. The people are hungering and thirsting after the simple gospel truths.” And it is because tbe simple, salient gospel beliefs tire so much needed today that I am preaching this sermon upon faith and the belief that Christ can save our loved ones if we only pray. Thus, my dear friends, tired and heavy hearted, tramping along the highway of life, I want to lift the heavy burdens off your hearts. It is these burdens that are crushing you. not the journey. Many of the older men have read tin essay which was fa mous many years ago. It was written by the “Country Parson” and called “Concerning People Who Carry Weights In Life.” The author went on to show that it was the extra weights some had to carry that made them lose the race of life. And It is these extra burdens which we can cast at the foot of the cross that make us labor and heavy laden. Will you not accept the invitation of my text? Will you not live in the faith of that blessed promise and die In the hope, as did the beautiful Princess Eliza beth, the daughter of Charles I. of England? Upon her marble monument in Newport church, erected by Queen Victoria, is recorded tbe fact that she was one morning found dead, with her head pillowed upon the open Bible and her finger pointing to the simple words, “Come unto me all ye that la bor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Today I urge upon you this wide Invitation, with its glorious promise. Christ bids you come with all your burdens and trials, and he will boar them for you. He offers you rest in this life, rest In death and eternal rest beyond the grave. Come unto him all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and he will give you rest. [Copyright, 1903, by Louis Klopsch.] DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK ? 11‘ n 1 A Sign of the Tlmea. It was a Brooklyn minister who In announcing a Sunday school picnic said, “We will go next Thursday, 1). V.,” adding after a pause, “and perhaps anyway.” The public notices of the services In the City temple, London, now appear withont the letters “D. V.,” which used to follow the announcement that Dr. Parker would preach. The British Weekly observes that the ex planation Is perhaps a sign of tbe times. The letters “D. V.,” which thirty years ago were constantly occurring In the correspondence of many religions peo ple, are now rarely employed, and the reason Is certainly not lack of faith, bat perhaps Increased consciousness that no step In life can be taken with out dlrtae permission. Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable. Almost everybody who reads the news papers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
