Los Angeles, Cal., July 7.—To all
Who are burdened with a sense of
•despondency on account of sickness,
loss of friends or fortune or the fail
ure of worldly prospects this sermon
comes as a message of consolation and
•encouragement The text is Psalm
xxx, r>. “Weeping may endure for a
night, hut Joy cometh In the morning.”
The Bible declares that It Is better
to go to the house of mourning than
to Join In the frolics of the merrymak
ers. But that does not mean that we
should talk to tfiose It trouble with
the lugubrious and sepulchral ooun
tenance of an undertaker otliclatlng at
a funeral. If there Is any time la life
when we need the curtain up and the
sunlight flooding every room In the
bouse, It Is when the dark clouds of
bereavement have showered the hearth
stone of the home with bitter, scald
ing tears. If there Is ever a time
when a visitor should enter a room
with a smile upon the Up and with a
ringing note of joy In his salutation
and with hope and peace and comfort
radiating from every feature of his
countenance, that time is when he Is
standing by i sickbed or k extending
th** warm clasp of affection to ouo who
Is bowed under the heavy burdens of
grief, yet tin strange fact Is that not
one In fifty knows how to enter the
house of mourning. Instead of going
there with a message of comfort and
peace and hope, the average man en
tering th*- house of trouble depresses
the barometer of suffering and makes
the gloomv days of (noble st 11 more
gloom \
Like Job’s Comforters
Almost all of us hold in memory the
Fftcollecfion of the agonizing visits
wiiieh mme weeping Jeremiahs made
to us when Mir cup of anguish was
filled to tin brim and overflowing.
They came t" us with long tales of
woe to tell us that if we had only gone
to their pliysieian and used his medi
cines our baby would not have died.
Or they came to tell us that perhaps
God took away our dear ones because
we were not living close enough to him
and bad not fully consecrated our lives
to bis service < )r they came to us and
said, “M\ dear friend, you should
thank God that he has taken utvay
your boy. I a •cause your child might
have lived to grow up a very bad man,
to be some day executed for the crime
of murder, or In* might have become a
drunkard, a libertine or a thief.”
Or they entered our sickrooms and
homes of d< th as flu* miserable com
forters ol .)<>b c.ime to the patriarch
after he had lost money, children nnd
health. TltO'e men had the idea that
heavy trouble v a the result of hel
nous sin. The. believed that God pun
ished a man in tin’s way when he had
done wrong So when they saw Job
Buffering the lo^- of propertv and chil
dren and hen Mli :hey eomduded that
he had cininiui n d some serious crime.
The\ hinted their belief to him and
urged him to repent and confess, and
wliiui the poor harassed man insisted
that he was innoeent they warned him
not to make his case worse by hypoc
risy. Tlnis they aggravated Job’s trou
ble. and he cxelalined, “.Miserable com
forters are ye all!”
But though tin* world may have Its
Ellp'inzes and Zophars and Blldads
thank God that the human race also
has It- Davids. It has the noble men
and women who, In times of great
trouble, can oome Into our lives and
speak the sympathetic word In just
the right way. These men may have
a tear In the eye, hut they always have
u smile 1learning on the lip. They
come to us in our distress and say
“Brother. It may he dark for you now,
but lielleve me, God Is good. From my
own personal experience f can testify
that till things will come out right. If
we only trust him nnd live for him
‘Weeping ma\ endure for a night, hut
Joy cometh In the morning.’ Thank
God, the sunrise of gospel truth can
always follow the darkest nights of
despair.”
David could speak from experience
about nights of weeping. He was no
novice in s.iitow. II<* had tasted the
bitter cup uf woe and had drunk Its
contents to the dregs. And ns I por
tray the sufferings <d the shepherd boy
who afterward beetime the king of
Israel. 1 want his experience to help
you to find th • peace that passeth all
undeistanding which the sweet singer
of Israel enjoyed
David, in the in-t place, knew all
about the mental sufferings of an un
happy child lie knew what It was to
Lave a liille hoy’' heart beat and throb
with anguish. He knew what It was
to go sobbing night after night to bed
He may have known what It was to
crave for parental love and receive It
not. And of till a child’s troubles I
believe there is not one greater than
to feel that a father or a mother loves
the rest of the children better than they
love him. Oh, the awful sufferings that
come from parental favoritism! God
pity the boys or the girls who have
to bear that heav.i trial In their youth
A Family Story.
I never had this faet more power
fully Illustrated than at my own din
ing room table. If you will not think
the personal history impertinent. I may
tell you that my hoys and my girls and
F are one. We play together; we laugh
together, we juke together; we live to
gether as one. Paul said: "When I
was a ehild, I spake ns a child, I un
derstood aa a child, I thought as a
child But when I became u man, I
put away ehiliiish tilings.” Blit In ref
ere nee to my'children, I have never be
rcNiie a man 1 have never oeased to
lie a ehild ’Well, one day at the din
ing room table 1 was Joking with one
of my children. Home people might
think I was teasing her. After the
dinner was over and the Children had
left for echool, a gentleman who was
a guest at the table aaM: “Mr. Tal
mage, 1 would never teaae a child like
that When 1 was young, my father
never eared for me. He used to taike
a fiendish delight in tantalizing me
whenever I came ta the table. 1 a)
ways used to come late In order not
to meet him. And sometimes, on ac
eonnt of hia teasing. I would not speak
to him for months at a time. Ah, no
father has a right to 'tease his ohll
dren and to make them think that he
does not care for them.” WTion I heard
that man speak thus, 1 said to myself
“Poor fellow He mutft have spent his
childhood days as young David spent
his.”
David’s Childhood.
Where do i find the intlmatlOL that
David had an unhappj childhood? I
think we have it In the story of
Samuel’s visit. Have you ever care
fully studied that Incident? Why,
parental favoritism is sticking cut all
over tL When Samuel came to Beth
lehem to find a new king of Israel
among Jesse's sons, what did the
father do? He brought every son he
had before the prophet, except one.
He seemed to say: “Samuel, here are
my seven boys. Did you ever see a
finer lot of young men? Any one of
them Is fit to be a king.” And as the
father speaks thus a look of loving
pride spreads over his features. But
the prophet Is still not satisfied. He
keeps looking and looking. lie is
looking for some owt else. Then lie
says to Jesse, “Are here all thy chil
dren?” With that a look of disdain
comes Into the failiei's face as he an
swers: “Ab yes; there Is still another;
hut he 1s a puny, undersized stripling
He does not amount to much. You
surely do rs>t want him. There yet
remainelh the youngest, and behold m-
keejieth the sheep.” Thus as Jesse
pushed David Ids son Into Hie back
ground on aei-ount of parental favorll
Ism for the other children, some of us
have lived through a hitter childhood
W* have angrily felt that our father
or mother did not care for us as they
eared for the rest. David well knew
what It was to weep during the long
nights of his childhood. And yet In
day ue comes to all hoys and says;
“My young friends, do not worry. God
will yet scatter your gloom. There is
a bright dawn coming for you. Look
how God has led me out of my child
hood trials. ‘Weeping may endure for
a night, but Joy cometh in the morn
ing.’ Boys and girls, voting men and
young women, with your fresh young
cheeks wet with a shower of tears,
v 111 you lielleve' it?”
But David had more dark nlght'-
than those found in his childhood days.
He also knew what the struggles of
young manhood mean. He knew what
it was to work for years to perfect
himself for an Important task and He n
i » he laughed and sneered at and de
nied opportunity to do what he knew
he Was tilted to do. He was just like
hundreds and thousands of young pen
pie adrift In our large cities, struggling
to get a foothold in life when the world
will not recognize their physical and
mentaI capabilities.
A Revolutionary Story.
I’erhaps I can illustrate my thought
by telling you the sad history of Gap
tain John Gallender of the Revolution
ary war. At Bunker Hill this young
Ann lican hero was In the command of
an artillery company. Something got
w rong with his cannon, and he ordered
the soldiers to drag them to the rear
that they might not fall into the hands
of the enemy, .lust then General Is
rael I’utnani rode along the lines, and
he <a\v what Gallender was doing. He
charged the young man with being a
eoward and ordered him back to lIn
line of battle at the point of the pistol
Immediately after the battle, upon the
testimony of General I’utnaiu, young
Gallender was degraded and In dis
grace retired from the service. L’n
daunted by the injustice which was
done him, young Gallender enlisted in
’he army as an ordinary private. He
gallantly fought through battle after
battle. At last the attention of the
great commander In chief, Georgn
Washington, was drawn to this young
soldier. And toward the close of the
war General Washington investigated
tin? cause of < 'aRender's dismissal. He
reversed the unjust sentence of But
nam. He restored Captain John Gal
lender to his original position, making
his commission date from the degrada
Hon at Bunker Hill. So we find our
young Gaptain John Callenders ever.v
where. They are young men of brain
and force and power. By the in jus
tires and jealousies of their fellow men
they are kept in the background, and
younger men with half their capabili
ties are pushed to the front. Was this
hot young David's experience?
Read the story of his offer to tight the
giant. What do you now find? Young
David is in the camp of King Saul
Before him stalks the great Goliath
defying the armies of Israel. What
did David do? Why, he said, “if no
one else will go forth to meet this giant
1 will go.” Had he not earned the
right to go? Was he not one of the
keenest if not the most expert marks
man with the sling In all the Hebrew
nation? Had not his bravery been
tested again and again? Alone with
Hie sheep, ’way off among the foot
hills, had he not defied the wild beasts
and the Bedouin robbers? And yet
when young David said, “I will go and
light the mighty Goliath,” what hap
pened? 11 is elder brothers, who were
honored soldiers of Saul's army, began
to sneer and to laugh. “Aha,” they
said, “you had better go home and han't
on to your mother's apron strings! You
arc ;i pretty faced 1 ahy to come Ir-’<
ant talk liAe a braggart!” Listen;
let me read you the literal words.
“And Eliab's anger was kindhsl
against Dowid and he said, Why
‘earnest then down hither, ami with
whom ha*> thou left those few sheep
In the wilderness? I know thy pride
and the naughtiness of thy heart; for
thou art come down that thou irnghtest
aee the battle.” Thus young David
bad to struggle to get his fooliiohl In
life. Has not King David a right to
come tto our young folks, hatlUug and
struggling to get a foothold In life,
and say; “Young people, 1 know
your trials. I know how hard it is
to make the world recognize your
powers. But struggle on. God will
see you through. The darknesn and
despair are sure to la* followed by the
•unrise of triumph. ‘Weeping may en
dure for a night, but joy cometh in the
morning.’ Yes, young folks, keep on in
your struggles; all will yet be well.”
David's Second Goliath.
But today David comes to bring us
gospel comfort which he lias found
In the crises of his palace us well as
In the trials and misrepresentations
and struggles of his early life. When
David was a mature, well develo|>ed
men, with the kingly crown upon his
head and the royal purple robes about
his shoulders, he hud a Goliath to
fight more formula hie than the one he
encountered when he was a rugged
faced shepherd hoy. And when David
met this second Goliath he became not
the conqueror, but the conquered. And
yet today, as a repentant lils*rtine and
murderer, he comes to us and says
“Friend, your earthly success may
have l>eeu the means of destroying
your spiritual life. But Ghfist cau
saw you yet. for be has saved me. the
chief of sinners.” Has your experi
euce, successful man, been that of
King David? With a kingly <tovvii
j upon your head and ivith royal purple
I about your shoulders, have you never
i been compelled to shed repentant tears
j over some spiritual tall, some mean,
disgraceful thing you have .done under
strum: temptation?
The material eoufllcis of a noble
youth cannot he compared to lie- spir
Itual struggles of tin* human heart
when facing some terrible sin of mid
die life. Some time ago 1 saw in the
home of one of my elders a most -mg
gestlve picture. Its subject was
“Darkness and Light.” In the fore
ground of that picture Is the bright
sunshine of the noontide. A young
woman, with a baby In her arms and
a sturdy child of live summers tug
glng at her skirts, has brought u well
filled lunch basket to her young bus
band working as a day laborer. lie is
a magnificent specimen of a man.
With bis abounding health and laugh
ing face be seems to say: "Life is a
battle, but my bare arm is strong
enough to light it. Life has Its bur
dens, but my shoulders are broad
enough to carry them.” There he
stands, holding out his hands to take
the baby from her mother’s arms. Life
may be a struggle, but If triumphant
joy was ever pictured In a man’s face
and hi a woman’s bearing and in her
child's smile it is to he found In the
foreground ,,f that picture
A Significant Picture.
But hardly has your eye studied the
four happy figure- hi the foreground
than you look into the background of
the picture. There under the trees'
shadow in a l**autiful garden stands a
young woman in widow’s weeds. She
has an open hook hi her hand which
she is listlessly earrying. She has been
walking, hut her mind is far away
with the dead. Suddenly she turns
and catches a glimpse of that happy
family group. If her sad, mournful
eyes and pathetic face mean anything,
they seem to say: “Oh, if I could
only give up my money and my home
and my diamonds and my wealth and
have my dear ones to love like that!
O God, can 1 ever be as I once was?”
So sonic of us seem to be walking
amid the gardens of our temporal pros
perities. But we me not studying tie*
pictures upon our walls or the gran
deur of our homes We are looking
at the spiritual wrecks of our past
lives. Like David, vve see our heinou-
sin rising up before us. We are say
Ing, *'<) God. that I might live mv
life over again and he as 1 once was!”
But no sooikt do our repentant tears
begin to fall than David the libertine,
David th«* murderer, comes to us and
says: "Friend. Christ will forgive you
| your sins as he has forgiven me mv
sins if you will only throw yourself
upon his mercy. ‘Weeping may endure
for a night, hut joy cometh in th.-
morning.’” Will you believe it. sinn.-r.
Amid the complete destruction of your
spiritual lif<- will you believe It and
throw yourself upon the mercy of a
pardoning Christ?
But David comes In his old age, as a
broken hearted father, to bring to us
gospel comfort. Just as he once came
as a young man and as a middle aged
man. He comes with his grav hairs
and with tottering feet and leaning
upon a staff, and says: “Fathers and
mothers, I know only too well how y mi
are worrying and agonizing over that
wayward hoy. I have drunk out of
the same chalice of woe. I know what
It Is to sit up night after night, wait
ing for him to come home, while you
listen for his staggering footsteps. Ah.
no night is so dark as that night when
a loving parent Is listening for tin
! step of a returning prodigal. I have
been through It all. God will comfort
you, even as he comforted me after
I my boy Absalom went astray. Trust
him, father. Trust him, mother. He
Is the Jesus who alone can bring you
comfort at a time like this. Will you
trust tilm. you who have dear ones
who are doing wrong? Will you trust
this Christ even now? Will you Just
trust Jesus and < ling to him for help?”
If you cannot get help from Christ
at this time, you can get help from
no other source. In a masterpio.-e
painted some years ago the artist look
for his theme “The Sacrldce of li.'d
I
geuia." perhaps von know the story
Away ha < k in Homeric ti:..<s, Ag.i

and Iphigeniu, was leading his great

the wises* of the soothsayers, declared
that the g-sis were angry and the fleet
could never continue on its Journey un
less the beautiful princess Ipl.igeuia
was offered a sacrifice. So the artist
pictures all these Homeric characters
gathered alsmt to slay the lieautlful
Iphigcnta to assuage the anger of the
gods.
Is there among the myths a more
f orrovvfti) story? Iphigenla was saved
in the end, but there are analogous
eases in which no miracle interposes.
How hitter must he the reflections of
some aged father who, to gain wealth
for himself or a title for his daughter,
sacrifices her in a loveless marriage!
He may he carried upward In society
by the wind of fortune, hut he has no
jov in his success as he realizes what
it cost his daughter. Oh. there are
some sorrows Iw.vond Hie reach of an
