Sermon By Rev. Frank De Witt Tslmatfe, D. D. f.os AngcleK. Cal.. Oct. 20.—That flu? heaviest sorrows and trials of life may he transformed into the greatest spirit ual Irfessines if, instead of giving way to hopeless depression, we show forti tude by the faithful performance of our daily duties is the teaching of this sermon. The text is John xxi. 3. “1 go a-fishing” A groat tragedy seems to associate itself with the scene iu which it took place, if we witness a railroad colli sion or a carriage accident or u tragic death of any kind we cannot pass the place in which it occurred without hav ing the sad event recalled to the mem ory. Especially is this the case when the tragedy involved the death of one we loved. If you lived in another part of the country, would you not at once want to go home and stay among the home scenes and try to blot out the hideous spectacle which you had been compelled to witness? Well, that is just what Peter and some of the dis ciples did after Jesus was laid away in the tomb. “Come,” they cried to each other; “let us get away from this cruel city of Jerusalem. Let us go back to (Jalilee, near where we were born and where we lived when the dear Lord called us to leave our nets and become fishers of men.” So they pack ed up their belongings and started north for the Zebulon bills. They turn ed their backs upon the great walled in capital and the temple and sought the scenes of their childhood and of their early communion with Christ. Methinks I can see them now walk ing along. The sun was shining just as bright then as during some of the walks they had taken with him. Tlye birds were singing just as sweetly. It was the springtime. All the flowers were in full bloom—the wild flowers which Jesus so loved. The sheep were pasturing upon many hills. The grass was green and soft. As the weary travelers rested for the lunch hour it did seem as though nature cared not whether its Creator was living or dead. Oh, their hearts were so crushed and bleeding! The farther they got away from Calvary the more their grief seemed to bow them down. The hard est times of sorrow do not come dur ing the hours of the funeral, but after ward. Then the house is so lonely, the arms so empty, the loved voices so still. Everywhere the pilgrims went they could see his dear face and hour 1dm speaking. Christ a score of times had traveled with them over this same road and rested by these same springs. Peter's First Impulse. When they reach home the same un utterable grief abides with them. They try to cheer each other up, hut It is uo use. One afternoon toward evening as the sun was sinking in the west these disciples are again gathered together to talk over the past. 1 hear the rough, brusque, impulsive Peter speak up. He says: “Men. I cannot stand this any longer. Every, time 1 think of his trial and death 1 bear myself denying him. Then I see that sweet face turn ed iu pity upon me. as when the cock crew twice. I Must do something to rouse myself out of these recollections of the past. I'll go a-tishing.” With that Peter starts to And his old boat and his nets. And all the other disci ples say. “We also go with thee.” They descend the hills to the pebbled beach. They get out the old oars. They fill the bottom of the boat with the nets. Off they pull. 'As 1 see that boat going farther and farther away from shore I see Christ, the loving Christ, watching bis dear disciples. They cannot see him* hut he sees them. Some practical gospel truths arise in my mind us I think of the Impulsive words of this most human of all the apostles when he said, “I go a-fishkig. ami the other disciples answered, “We also go with thee.” Peter, starting for the nets on the sea of (Jalilee. shows, in the first place, tiie never ending grip the habits of early youth take upon pur minds and hearts. What we leatu before fifteen years of age we seldom forget. You have often beard of old people coming to their second childhood. This means that when the hair is white and the step infirm an aged man may forget what he did in bis twenties and thir ties and in his middle life, but he rare ly forgets what he did a« a little child. He may forget his wife and children, hut, as a rule, he never forgets bis mother and father and brothers and sisters. It is uo unusual bight to hear Bn old man calling his sous and daugh ters by the, names of bla brothers and sisters and plaintively talking to his wife as though he were a little child addressing Ids mother. The places an old man dreams about most , are the •cenes of his early boytfood, the brook which run through his' father's mead ow lands, the old sehoogiouke where he studied bis primer, ills oldl trundle bed. the nuts he used to crack and the red apples lie used to eat og winter evenings before the crackling# logs of tW old frtnifly fireside., I Mr. Moody ernphasiaid this kruth in another way. He sulfir older I foo former Itfo foEaw to learn Scripture. As a preacher I am con tinually committing to memory eew Bibi* texts and chapters, yet 1 very soon forget them. But the Scripture ▼erses which I learned at ray mother's knee I have never forgotten. The les sons which she taught me are more and more vividly recalled by my mind. Therefore It Is very Important that parents trniir up their children aright for God. They should early get them in the habit of going to church and to Sunday school. They should teafch them tiie beautiful stories of the Bible. They should Instill in them the duties of helping those who need their help. The gospel habits we learn in youth we rarely forgei.” Poter as • Bey. Thus we find the old habits of Peter asserting tsemselves. Peter was bofn near the sea of Galilee. Ae a hoy he used to piny upon its pebbled beach. As a youth he used to swim and fish in Us waters. As u young man he used to earn his livelihood by catching and selling the fish. As a strong flBherman he had battled with many atorms while setting bis nets after hie boat had been nearly submerged by the heaving billows. Now. when the horrors of the crucifixion were still surging through his mind and heart, the old habits of youth were again asserting themselves. “Back to the fisherman's tasks,” was the call of his heart. So may we train our children for Christ In the nursery that when the storms of persecution and the tornadoes of trouble batter against them and threaten to sub merge them they may find divine solace and gospel comfort in the les sons we have taught them in the quie tude of the nursery and In the Inspired truths they have learned at the family altar. "But there is another weighty lesson to be learned from the scene of my text. The easiest way to overcome the tidal waves of trouble is by harnessing ourselves up to work. %nactivity* and inertia are sympathizing attendants, who are only too willing to sit by the bedside of heartrending grief and weep with us when we weep and talk over with us the sickening tragedies of the past. But their chief mission is not to heal the wounds of life or to stop the hemorrhages of bleeding hearts. They only take the bandages off the pain racking wounds and start the bleeding afresh. The best way to light grief is to go forth in a manly. Christian way and lift our cross and silently carry our burden along and not stop to make complete inventory of our misfortunes. Peter knew this truth, as every brave man ought to know it. Back to Daily Duties. Cannot you hear him say to the oth er disciples: “Men, what is the use of our sitting here and nursing our grief? By dwelling on the scenes of the past can we lessen one iota any of our sorrows? Would Jesus want us to sit around idle like this? We cannot bring him back to us. Like David with his dead boy, we can go to him, but he cannot come to us. Have we no daily duties to perform? Have we no hun gry mouths to till? Are not our wives and children dependent upon us for food? If Jesus does not want me to follow him and preach, at least he wants me to he an honest man and provide a home for my family. 1 used to earn their living by a fisherman’s net. l.can earn them bread by selling fish again. I gu a-fishing.” Then the other disciples *id, “We also go with thee." Yes, the sad fact Is that many people do not light the sorrows of life by the activities of life. Like Job of okl, they nurse their grief by tearing their garments and by weeping and complaining in sackcloth and ashes. Here, for instance, is a wife and mother who hns been blessed with as noble a family as God ever gate to a home. From the morning when the sweet throated songsixeatf called love sang amid the bowers of the orange .blossoms the sunshine of joy has al ways been flooding her life. Her life, like a humming bird, has winged its way from flower to flower. Tbs sting ing nettles and the hard, stony path ways were for others. Only the rest ful* tender symphonies of a happy life eoundtd their music in her hegrt. But one day the shadow of the broad wing ed messenger of death passod over her head. Now. as before, thfcre are seven places at her family table, hut one of the baby chairs Is vacant. Does that mother always arise in the morning with a sweet smile Qpou her Ups and take up tier duties of life cheerfully? Does she help her husband t*ar his grief? With a noble ChHsflan resig nation, does she-thunk God that she has still four babies left? Does she lire to make them happy? Or does she sit down and nurse her grief? Are her ebecks being continually splashed by the fountains of her tears? Does she put away all her bright clothes and advertise her sorrow by repulsive crape? Does she go forth with a brave heart to bind up the bleeding wounds of her neighbors? Does she continually expect her neigh bora to come and talk t$ her upon only one subject, the loss of her baby girl? My frlond, God sent you a sor row to prepare you for helping others bear their trials. The easiest way to overcome grief is by bravely lifting up your cross and going forth to comfort others. Peter fishing for food for his children on the sea of Galilee is a far more commendable sight than Pe ter with tear stained cheeks, nursing hte grief upoti the pebbled beach of the sea of Tiberias. Troubles Mover Corns Singly. But there is another fact which ini* 1 presses me about Peter’s fishing expe dition. and thfit is that trouble* do not live a hermit's Ufa They do not percli as a haldbended eagle upon the cragp and the cliffs in solitary glory.

(hey gathered iip the wattm of tUaw bpbok? and creeks and fountains.¥ln>ilie first place, Peter had an awful frONtor-.) gnawing at his heart for bis denial of Jesos Christ. Do you not suppose be thought of that apostasy day In and tfty out? After your father dlei, did there not for weeks and mouths and years linger in your mind some act of disobedience or some dutiful act that you neglected to do? Tell me, do you not suppose there were some people just tactless enough to remind Peter of his three denials? “Yes,” they sar castically said; "If I were you, Peter, I would cry a good deal about Jesus’ death. You always pretended you lov ed him so much. Ob, yea, you were always going to be faithful! And yet you failed him when the test came. Peter, 1 believe you are a hypocrite, and you would deny him again if yon had the chance.” And I can hear Pe ter say: “Yes, perhaps I would. O Christ, why have I been false to thee?” Then the next grief tugging at Pe ter’s heart was the awful thought that all Christ suffered for and lived for and died for seemed to have gone for naught. H*e felt that Christ’s kingdom which he was to establish upon earth bad now become a lost cause. Was not Jesus dead? Was not his little band of followers scattered? Was not the bated sanhedrin triumphant in its merciless work? So Peter felt that Christ’s blood was sacrificed in vain. He felt that Christ’s death had sealed the fate of his kingdom. , How Christ Appeared. Then upon the summit of these griefs came the failure of his present effort. Hour after hour those fishermen were dragging at their nets. No fish, no food, nothing to appease the hunger of their dear ones. Yet in the early dawn of the morning Christ appeared unto Peter upon the shores of Galilee. And so, my friend, when the darkest hours of your night of trouble have passed Christ will appear to you. Not In the darkness of your first trouble will you get the blessed peace which passeth all understanding, not even in the second trouble, hut in the third trial or trouble Christ will appear as he appeared to those disciples on the crystal shore of Lake Gennesaret. In personal life I have bad a most dramatic illustration of this pregnant truth. My father’s life was drawing toward its close. Thick and fast came a succession of terrific troubles. The Impenetrable darkness seemed to be everywhere. First came the conflagra tion which in a few minutes swept away his great tabernacle, where so many of his gospel triumphs had been won. Every one of its stones had been mortared by years of self sacri fice and work. Then came the death of my beloved mother, who to a great extent was the <^ause of bis wonder ful success. Then came his removal from Brooklyn to Washington and his selling of the old homestead where he had passed the greater part of bis ac tive ministerial life.

He never felt at home anywhere else. He was too old u tree to transplant and take root again, as you would be If yon had to leave the home of your children and the home from which you had burled your dead. It waa at this time that he prepared his sermon entitled “Cumulating Troubles.” It was from I Chronicles, eleventh chapter and twenty-second verse, “Benaiab, the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done u;auy acts; be slew two lionlike men of Moab; also he went down and slew a lion in a pit In a snowy day.” The whole purpose of that sermon was to prove that every man, like Be- naiah, had three troubles to fight—first, • lion; second, a dark cavern; third, a snowy day. A short time after this my father came on to preach In my pulpit. He brought this sermon along. Hs arose and gave opt the text. Then suddenly bis tongue became thick and his speech heavy. He was threatened with an apoplectic stroke. His life's work from that moment rapidly drew to its close. Ah, yes, he had his “ac cumulating troubles.” Church gone. Old homestead gone. Health gone. Three troubles like Benaiah—a lion, a pit and a snowy day. So, O man, you shall have three troubles. Yon are like Benaiab and Peter. But God Will reveal himself to yon in your darkest troubles as he revealed himself to bis children of old. Christ appeared to Peter, walking upon the crystal pave ments of the sea of Galilee, In the fourth watch of the night As the darkness settles Christ will appear to you in his glorious love, soon, very soon. Aye, he will appear to yon now. If you will only love him and trust him you can sec him at this very mo ment. Are we willing to open oar eyes now and see Christ face* to face? Christ did not appear unto the repfotapt apostle most vividly on a great occa sion, but while he was at his humble duties, in the common walks of life. When Jesus appears most vividly to ns he will in all probability revfol himself not so much in church as on the street car; not so much at a com munion service as when we, as phy sicians. are bowing over the sickbeds of our patients, or when we. as fann ers, are laboring in me fields, or when we, as housewives, are working about tbs kitchen stoves. And Christ Will not appear unto os so vividly when We are alone a* when, like Peter, In ^he darkness of the right, with Nathaniel and James and John, we are befog tossed about upon the wave* of trou ble. May God grant that today, aide by "Idr, we may see the divine race of Jesus Christ!' } [Copyright, HOT. for Louie Klopeeh.) For Sal* by CMwb»i Drag Company.
