OUT OF BEICKEHNS. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES UPON THE j SUSTAINING POWER OF RELIGION. The Usual Great Audience Enraptured Over ( His Glowing Discourse-Trials and Temp? tations of tbe World-A Curious Text and a Cniqme Sermon. BROOKLYN, April 1.-In the Brooklyn Tabernacle this forenoon Rev. Dr. Tal mage preached to a crowded audience on a subject of unusual interest, as illustrat? ing the sustaining power of religion to tirase who are in daily contact with the world, its trials and temptations. The test chosen was Psalms lxviii, 13, "Though ye have lain among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered -with silver and her feathers with yellow gold." I suppose you know what the Israelites did down in Egyptian slavery. They made "bricks. Amid the utensils of the brickkiln there were also other utensils of cookery-the kettles, the pots, the pans, with winch they prepared their daily food, and when these poor slaves, tired of the day's work, lay down to rest they lay down among the implements of cookery and the implements of hard work. When they arose in the morning, tiley found their garments covered with the clay, and the smoke, and the dust, and beonirched and begrimed with the utensils of cookery. But after awhile the Lord broke ap that slavery, and he took these poor slavesinto a land where they had better < garb, bright and clean and beautiful ap? parel. No more bricks for them to make. Let Pharaoh make his own bricks. When David, in my text, comes to describe the transition of these poor Israelites fren their bondage amid the brickkilns in+o the glori?os emancipation for which God had prepared them, he says, "Though ye have lain among the pots, yet shall ye "be as the wings of a dove covered wi di silver and her feathers with yellow gold." A HARD TASSMASTER. Miss Whately, the author of a cele? brated book, "Life in Egypt," said she sometimes saw people in the east cooking theirfood on the tops of houses, and th nt she had often seen just before sundown " pigeons and doves, which had during th? heat of the day been hiding anions tre kettles and the pans'with which the food was prepared,, picking up the cn? nibs th. : t they might find. Just about the hour of sunset they would spread their win::s and fly heavenward, entirely unsoiled by the region in which they had moved, for the pigeon is a very cleanly bird. And as the pigeons flew away the set? ting sun would throw silver on the:.r wings and gold on their breasts. So yc:i see it is not a farfetched simile or au unnatural comparison when David, in my text, says to these emancipated Isra? elites, and says to all those who ar? "brought out of any kind of trouble iu: o any kind of spiritual joy, "Though ye have lain arnon.? the pots, yet shall ye be as fee wings of a dove covered with silver and her feathers with yellow gold.s Sin is the hardest of all taskmasters. Worse than Pharaoh, it keeps us drudg? ing in a most degrading service, but after awhile Christ comes, and he says, "Let my people go," and we pass ont from among the brickkilns of sin into the glorious liberty of the gospel. We put on the clean robes of a Christian profession, and when at last we soar away to the warm nest which God has provided for us in heaven we shall go fairer than a dove, its wings covered with silver and its feathers with yellow gold. THE DOVE AS A COMPARISON. I am going to preach something which ! some of you do not believe, and that is ; that the grandest possible adornment is the religion of Jesus Christ; There are a great many people who suppose * ha t j religion is a very different thing from i what it really is. The reason men con? demn the Bible is because they do not understand the Bible. They have not properly examined it. Dr. Johnson said that Hume told a minister in the bishop? ric of Durham that he had never par? ticularly examined the New Testament, yet all his life warring against it. Hal? ley, the astronomer, announced his skep? ticism to Sir Isaac Newtd^and Sir Isaac j Newton said: "Now, sir, 7 have exam- j ined the subject, and you have not. An 3 j I am ashamed that you, professing to be a philosopher, consent to condemn a thing you have never examined." And so men reject the religion of Jesus j Christ because they really have never in- . vestigated it. They think it something ! undesirable, something that will not work, something Pecksnifhan, something hypocritical, something repulsive, when j it is so bright and so beautiful you might j compare it to a chaffinch, yon might com pare it to a robin red breast, you might compare it to a dove-its wings covered with silver and its feathers with yellow gold. But how is it if a young man becomes a Christian? All through the clubrooms j where he associates, all through the busi? ness circles where he is known, there is ; commiseration. They say, "What a pity that a young man who had such bright j prospects should so have been despoiled ! by those Christians, giving up all his worldly prosoects for something which \ is of no particular present worth V Here j is a young: woman who beeomes a Chris- j tian-her voice, her face, ber manners the charm of the drawing room. Now all through the fashionable cir? cles the whisper goes, "What a pity that such a bright light should have been ex? tinguished, that such a graceful gait should be crippled, that such worldly prospects should be obliterated!" Ah, my friends, it can be shown that re? ligion's ways are ways of pleasantness and that all her paths are peace; that re? ligion, instead of being dark and doleful and lachrymose and repulsive, is bright j and beautiful, fairer than a dove, its. j wings covered with silver and its feath- j era with yellow gold. DROWNING TROUBLE. See, in the first place, what religion will do for a man's heart. I care not how cheerful a man may naturally be before j conversion, conversion brings him up to I a higher standard of cheerfulness. I do j not say he will laugh any louder. Ido not say but he may stand back from 1 some forms of hilarity in wnicli ne ona indulged, hut there comes into his sou an immense satisfaction. A young ma? not a Christian depends upon worldly successes to keep his spirits np. Nov* he is prospered, now he has a large sal ary, now he has a beautiful wardrobe now he has pleasant friends, now he has more money than he knows how t( spend. Everything goes bright and wei with him. But trouble comes. - There are manj young men in the house this morning who can testify ont of their own experi? ence that sometimes to young men trou? ble does come-his friends are gone, hii salary is gone, his health is gone. He goes down, down. He becomes sour, cross, queer, misanthropic, blames the world, blames society, blamesthe church, blames everything, rushes perhaps to the intoxicating cup to drown his trouble, bnt instead of drowning his trouble he drowns his body and drowns his soul. But here is a Christian young man. Trouble comes to him. Does he give up": No! He throws himself back on the re? sources of heaven. He says: "God is my Father. Out of all these disasters I shall pluck advantage for my soul. All the promises are mine, Christ is mine, Christian companionship is mine, heaven is mine. What though my apparel be worn out? Christ gives me a robe of righteousness. What though my money be gone? I have a title deed to the whole universe in the promise, 'All are yours.1 What though my worldly friends fall away? Ministering angels are my body? guard. What though my fare be poor and my bread be scant? I sit at the king's banquet!" Oh, what a poor, shallow stream is worldly enjoyment compared with the deep, broad, overflowing river of God's peace, rolling midway in the Christian heart! Sometimes you have gone out on the iron bound beach of the sea when there has been a storm on the ocean, an?l yon have seen the waves dash into white foam at your feet. They did not do yon any harm. While there you though: of the chapter written by the psalmist, and perhaps you recited it to yourself while the storm was making commentary upon the passage: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. Therefore will I not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the moun? tains shake with the swelling theroof." Oh, how independent the religion of Christ makes a man of wordly success and worldly circumstances! Nelson, the night before his last battle, said, *'To? morrow I shall win either a peerage or a grave in Westminster abbey." And it does not make much difference to the Christian whether he rises or falls in worldly matters. He has everlasting re? nown anyway. Other plumage may be torn in the blast, but that soul adorned with Christian grace is fairer than the dove-its wings covered with silver and its feathers with gold. LUSKIN'G Di TEE CUP. You and I have found out that people who pretend to be happy are not always happy. Look at that young man carica? turing the Christian religion, scoffing at everything good, going into roistering drunkenness, dashing the champagne bottle to the floor, rolling the glasses from the barroom counter, laughing, shouting, stamping the floor. Is he hap? py? I will go to his midnight pillow. I will see him turn the gas off. I will ask myself if the pillow on which he sleeps is as soft as the pillow on which that pure young man sleeps. Ah, no! When he opens his eyes in the morning, will the world be as bright to him as to that young man who retired at night saying his prayers, invoking God's blessing upon his own soul and the souls of his comrades and father and mother and brothers and sisters far away? No, no! His Laugh will ring out from the saloon so that you hear it as : you pass by, but it is hollow laughter, i Li it is the snapping of heartstrings and the rattle of prison gates. Happy-t hat young man happy? Let him fill high the bowl; he cannot drown an upbraiding conscience. Let j the balls roll through the bowling alley; ! the deep rumble and the sharp crack can? not overpower the voices of condemna? tion. Let him whirl in the dance of sin and temptation and death; all the bril? liancy of the scene cannot make him for? get the last look of his mother when he left home, when she said to him: "Now. j my son, you will do right; I am sure you j will do right. You will, won't your That j young man happy? Why, across every j night there flit shadows of eternal dark ness; there are adders coiled up in every i cup; there are vultures of despair strik- | ing their iron beaks into his heart: there axe skeleton fingers of grief pinching at j the throat. USEFUL RELIGION. I come in amid the clicking of the ! glasses and under the flashing of the j chandeliers, and I cry: "Woe! Woe! The j way of the ungodly shall perish. ?here j is no peace, saith my God, to the wick ed. The way of transgressors is hard." i Oh, my friends, there is more joy in one drop of Christian satisfaction than in whole rivers of sinful delight. Other J wings may be drenched of the storm and splashed of the tempest, but the ? dove that comes in through the window j cf this heavenly ark has wings like the dove covered with silver and her feath- j ers with yellow gold. Again, I remark, religion is an adorn- ; ment in the style of usefulness into which : it inducts a man. Here are two young j men. The one has fine culture, exquisite : wardrobe, plenty of friends, great world- \ ly success, but he lives for himself. His chief care is for his own comfort. He ! lives uselessly. He dies unregretted. j Here is another young man. His ap- j parel may not be so good; his education may. not be so thorough. He lives for I others. His happiness is to make others i happy. He is as self denying as that dy ing soldier falling in the ranks, when he . said: "Colonel, there is no need of those boys tiring themselves by carrying me to the hospital, het me die just where I am." So this youfcg man of whom I j speak loves God, wants all the world to j : love him, is not ashamed to carry a bun? dle of clothes up that dark alley to the poor. Which of those young men do you admire the better? The one a sham, theo/ther a prince imperial. Oh, do yon know of anything, ni} hearer, that is more beautiful than to se< a young man start out for Christ? Hen is some one falling; he lifts him up. Et:-, is a vagabond boy; he introduces him ; < a mission school. Here is a family freez ing to death; he carries them a scuttle o? coal. There are 800,000,000 perishing ii midnight heathen darkness. By all pos Bible means he tries to send them tht gospel. He may be laughed at, and ht may be sneered at, and he may be cari catured, but he is not ashamed to gc everywhere saying: "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. It is the powei of God and the wisdom of God unto sal? vation." Such a young man can go through everything. There is no force on earth or in hell that can resist him. I show you three spectacles: CERTAIN SPECTACLES. Spectacle the First-Napoleon passed by with the host that went down with him to Egypt and -up with him through Bussia and crossed the continent on the bleeding heart of which he set his iron heel, and across the quivering flesh of which he went grinding the wheels of his gun carriages-in his dying moment ask? ing his attendants to put on his military boots for him. Spectacle the Second-Voltaire, bright and learned and witty and eloquent, with tongue and voice and strategem infernal, warring against God and poisoning whole kingdoms with his infidelity, yet ap? plauded by the clapping hands of thrones and empires and continents-his last words, in delirium supposing Christ standing by the bedside-his last words. "Crush that wretchl" Spectacle the Third-Paul-Paul, in? significant in person, thrust out from all refined association, scourged, spat on, hounded like a wild beast from city to city, yet trying to make the world good and heaven full; announcing resurrection to those who mourned at the barred gates of the dead; speaking consolations which light up the eyes of widowhood and orphanage and want with glow of cer? tain and eternal release; undaunted be? fore those who could take his life, 1 * ; cheek flushed with transport and his eye on heaven; with one hand shaking de? fiance at all the foes of earth and all the principalities of hell, and with the other hand beckoning messenger angeis to come and bear him away as he says: "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight; I haye finished my course; I have kept the faith. Hence? forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the right? eous Judge, will give me." Which of the three spectacles do you most admire? When the wind of death struck the conqueror and the infidel, they were tossed like sea gulls in a tempest, drenched of the wave and torn of the hurricane, their dismal voices heard through tho everlasting storm, but when the wave and the wind of death struck Paul, like an albatross, he made a throne of the tempest and one day floated away into the calm, clesr summer of heaven, brighter than the dove, its wings covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold. Oh, are you not in love with such a religion-a religion that can do so much for a man while he lives and so much for aman when he comes to die? A CONTRAST. I suppose you may have noticed the contrast between the departure of a Christian and the departure of au infidel. Diodorus, dying in chagrin because he could not compose a joke equal to the joke uttered at the other end of his table; Zeuxis, dying in a fit of laughter at the sketch of an aged woman-a sketch made by his own hand; Mazarin, dying playing cards, his friend holding his hands because he was unable to hold them himself. All that on one side, compared with the departure of the Scotch minister who said to his friends: "I have no in? terest as to whether I live or die. If I die, I shall be with the Lord, and if I live the Lord will be with me." Or tht? last words of Washington, "It is well." Or the last word of McIntosh, the learn? ed and the great, "Happy!" Or the last words of Hannah More, the Christian poetess, "Joy!" Or those thousands of Christians who have gone, saying: "Lord Jefjus, receive my spirit! Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly!" "O death, where is thy ?tiDg? O grave, where is thy vic? tory?" Behold the contrast. Behold the charm of the one, behold the darkness of the other. Now, I know it is very popular in this day for young men to think there is something more charming in skepti? cism than in religion. They are ashamed of the old fashioned religion of the cross, ! and they pride themselves on their free thinking on all these subjects. My j young friends, I want to tell you what 11 know from observation-that while skep- j ticism is a beautiful land at the start, it j is a great Sahara desert at the last. AN APT STORY. Years ago a ministers son went off j from home to college. At college he j formed the acquaintance of a young j man whom I shall call Ellison. Ellison was an infidel. Ellison scoffed at reli- j gion, and the minister's son soon learned j from him the infidelity, and when he j went home on his vacation broke his father's heart by his denunciations of j Christianity. Time passed on, and vaca- i tion came, and the minister's son went : off to spend the vacation and was on a ! journey and came to a hotel. The hotel keeper said: "I am sorry that tonight I shall have to put you in a room adjoin- ? ing one where there is a very sick and ; dying man. I can give you no other ac? commodation." "Oh," said the young college student and minister's son, "that will make no difference to me, except I the matter of sympathy with anybody j that is suffering." The young man retired to his room, j but could not sleep. All night long he j heard the groaning of the sick man or ? tue step ot the watcners. and his soul ? trembled. He thought to himself: "Now, there is only a thin wall between me and j a departing spirit. How if Ellison should know how I feel? How if Ellison should ?nd out how my heart flutters? What if Ellison knew my skepticism gave way?,A He slept not. ?i the morning, coming down, he said to the hotel keeper, "How is the sick maD?" "Oh," said the hotel keeper, "he is dead, poor fellow. The doctors told us he could not last through the night." "Well," said the young man, "what was the sick one's name-where is he from?" "Well," said the hotel keeper, "he is from Providence college." "Providence college! What is his name?" "Ellison." "Ellison!" Oh, how the young man was stunned! It was his old college mate dead without any hope. It was many hours before the young man could leave that hotel. He got on his horse and started homeward, and all the way he heard something saying to him: "Dead! Lost! Dead! Lost!" He came to no satisfaction until he entered the Christian life, until he entered the Christian ministry, until he became one of the most eminent missionaries of the cross, the greatest Baptist missionary the world has ever seen since the days of Paul-no superior to Adoniram Judson. Mighty on earth, mighty in heaven Adoniram Judson. Which do yon like the best, Judson's skepticism or Judson's Christian life, Judson's suffering for Christ's sake, Judson's almost martyr? dom? Oh, young man, take your choice between these two kinds of lives. Your own heart tells you this morning the Christian life is more admirable, more peaceful, more comfortable and more beautiful. IN GOOD C0MPAN5T. Oh, if religion does so much for aman on earth, what will it do for him in heaven? That is the thought that com .s to me now. If a soldier can afford to shout "Huzza!" when he goes into bat? tle, how much more jubilantly he can afford to shout "Huzza!" when he has gained the victory. If religion is so good a thing to have here, how bright a thing it will be in heaven! I want to see that young man when the glories of heaven have robed and crowned him. I want to hear him sing when all huskiness of earthly colds is gone and he rises up with the great doxology. I want to know what standard he will carry when marching under arches of pearl in the army of banners. I want to know what company he will keep in the land where they are all kings and queens forever and ever. If I have in? duced one of you this morning to begin a better life, then I want to know it. I may not in this world clasp hands with you in friendship. I may not hear from your own lips the story of temptation and sorrow, but I will clasp hands with you when the sea is passed and the gates are entered. That I might woo you to a better life, and that I might show you the glories with which God clothes his dear chil? dren in heaven, I wish I could this morn? ing swing back one of the 12 gates that , there might dash upon your ear one i shout of the triumph; that there might j flame upon your eyes one blaze of the j splendor. Oh, when I speak of that good land, you involuntarily think of some ! one there that you loved-father, moth? er, brother, sister or dear little child gar? nered already. Yon want to know what they are do? ing this morning. I will tell you what they are doing. Singing! Yon want to ? know what they wear. I will tell yon ! what they wear. Coronets of triumph! You wonder why oft they look to the i gate of the temple and watch and wait. I I will tell why they watch and wait ! and look to the gate of the temple. For I your coming! I shout upward the news today, for I am sure some of you will re? pent and start for heaven: "Oh, ye bright ones before the throne, your j earthly friends are coming! Angels pois- . ing midair, cry up the name! Gatekeeper i of heaven, send forward the tidings! ! Watchman on the battlements celestial, throw the signal!" A LOST THRONE. "Oh," you say, "religion I am going j to have. It is only a question of time." My brother, I am afraid that you ! may lose heaven the way Louis Phi- ! lippe lost his empire. The Parisian mob | came around the Tuileries, the national j guard stood in defense of the palace, I and the commander said to Louis Phi- j lippe: "Shall I fire now? Shall I order the troops to fire? With one volley we can clear the place." "No," said Louis j Philippe, "not yet." A few minutes j passed on, and then Louis Philippe, see- i ing the case was hopeless, said to the general, "Now is the time to fire." j "No," said the general, "it is too late j now. Don't you see that the soldiers \ are exchanging arms with the citizens? j It is too late." Down went the throne of Louis Phi? lippe. Away from the earth went the house of Orleans, and all because the king said, "Not yet, not yet!" May GM forbid that any of you should adjourn this great subject of religion and should postpone assailing your spiritual foes un? til it is too late, too late-you losing a throne in heaven the way that Louis Philippe lost a throne on earth. When the Judge descends in might, Clothed in majesty and light: "When the earth shall quake with fear, Where, oh, where wilt thou appear? Napoleon Leads. The editor of a French press cutting agency, who deals in the newspapers of the entire world, made a calculation as to who is oftenest mentioned as a pub? lic character. Napoleon I stands first, although this is probably in consequence of the passing fashion of things Napo? leonic that set in some time ago. Then comes the emperor of Germany, then Prince Bismarck and only in the fourth place Mr. Gladstone. Immediately after comes President Carnot, and the pope is rather a bad sixth. Transparent. Groom (en tour)-Everybody in the dining room must have seen through us. Bride-It was our own fault. We made perfect spectacles of ourselves.-Detroit Tribune. _ A Practical Woman. Mrs. W. G. Harris, president of the Ladies' Benevolent society of the First Baptist church of Boston and an active Worker in the Ladies' Needlework guild, has started a new scheme for collecting funds for the poor. She has put up dainty mite boxes in the corridors of the Parker House and the Tremont House, with cards attached asking for contribu? tions to be used only in cases which she has personally investigated and found deserving. She has visited and relieved about 60 persons during three weeks. Boston Commonwealth. CHAS. E. KIMBALL, RECEIVES IN EFFECT AUGUST 21, 1893. Al! trains Daily Except Sunday. N. B 8TATICNS.
