Rev. Dr. l'aimage Compares Our Present State and
the Life of, the World to Come.
A de,sparch froget Washington sayst
—Rev. D. Talmage pretiehed from, the
gollowing, terct: "Thie night thY son.'
ehall, be required of thee."—Luke xii,
20.
My tet introduces us into a fine
farm -house. The occupant has been
wonderfully successful. As far as I
can tell, he was an honest, industrious,
enterprising man. The crops were com-
ing in. The mow and the granar3,
were full, and the men and oxen tug-
geel away at other loads. The matter
was a great perplexity. After you
have 'gone to the trouble to raise a
crop, you want some plaee to put it.
Enlargement is the word. I see him
calculating, by theg light of a torch,
how much extension of room is need-
ed. So many loads of corn, so many
of wheat. It must be so many feet
front, and so many feet deep. He says/
"When I get the new building done
I shall have everything. Nothing then
for me but to enjoy myself." In an-
ticipation of the barn enlarged, he
folds his a,rnes and says "If anybody
h."appy, I am that man." But his ear
is stunned with the words, "Thou
fool!" "Where did the voice come
from?" "Who dares say that to me,
the first Irian in all this country ?"
It was the voice of God! Thou fool,
thie night thy soul shall be required
of thee!"
-What was the malady that took him
immediately away—It know not. But
that night he expired. He never built
the extension. I3efore the remaining
- sheaves had been gathered he was
himself reaped. They hauled in no
loads of grain on the next day, but
a long procession followed him. out Co
, burial. If the world expressed its
sentiments in regard to him, it would
put over his grave, "Here lies interre
it successful man, of great enterprise,
and influence, and he departs, mourn-
ed by the whole neighbourhood. Peace
to hiss ashes I" God wrote over his
grave, and on his barn -door, an epi-
taph of four letters—"Fool." That the
divixic epitah was correct, I infer
from, the fact that this man had liv-
ed so many years and made no pre-
paration for the future, and because
he was postponing every thing until
he got larger barns. Additional barn -
room could not make him happy. Show

accurneulation.-Who are the men who

THEIR DAY'S WAGES.
Prosperity is like salt water; the
more you drink of it the thirstier you
are. "Soul, take thine ease I" Ah ! did
Ai man ever give ease to his soul by
such a process? The soul is a spirit.
Can Material things be expected to
feed it? Cap the soul eat wheat, or
corn, or hardware? This man had
thoug,lat only of the three or four
y-ards of human life, and regardeclnot
the, millions of furlongs stretching out /.
into the infinite. 1.
I wish to make two or three remarks
about this man's exit from, the
world. !
It wgs in strong contrast with his
life. His surroundings were as bright
as could be. We know more about his
barns than his house, but I judge of
the style of his house from that of
his barn. Men do not take better care
of their horses and cattle than of
themselves. The house was full of ,
con:1101gs and luxuries. When the ta-
ble was spread, there was everything
on it to administer to his appetite.
When visitors canna to that house,the
master no doubt would take them out ;
and say, "There are twenty acres of
grain; ten acres of corn, fifteen acres
of grove. See those sheep down in that
valley. See those cattle on that hill.
All mine! Come and look at those fig -
trees. There are some figs ripe. Help
yourself. Plenty of them. See how,
those grape -vines thrive—ancl these
pomegranates!" Abundance, of every -

through the darkness, be drops his

iriS unsheltered crops. "This night

13u.i the most re,markable thing
about the exit was that he was u
prepared for it. It was not a lack
of brain that kept him in unprepared-
ness. Now a man who knows enough
to do business, knows enough to save
his soul. All of the idiots will( be
saved at last. He was not an idiot.
But, alas! how many men are wise
for time, and foolish for eternity:
They know enough, when they sell a

they barter away an immortal soul,

insured but their souls. They are
careful to have all their titles good

prompt in their engagements with
banks and brokers, but fail in their

their barns , and build greater,

is none good but one that is, God. It is
a strain on the natural meaning of
this phrase to understand it as im-
plying that Jesus did not think him-
self good, or that he thought that
God only Ought to be called good. It
is almost an equal strain. •on the
language, though more in harmony
with current theology, understand
the words as a direci, challenge- to

divinity, as if Jesus had said, "You
cannot consistently call me' good un-
less you acknowledge , my divine
nature." But the true reading is,
"Why aslrest thou me concerning the
good?" We may reverently .conclude
that our Lord had two closely relat-
ed objects—first, to farce this you've'
man of indePendent- action into inde-
pendent thought, and, secondly, to
raise still higher, the idea of Himself.
When our Lord asked the hostile
Pharisees how David could call his
son Lord, he was trying to rid them
of parrotlike repetitions,and to make
them reverently think; IlOW in ten-
derer mood he •deprecates on the lips
of this earnest young man words that
were on the lips of almost everybody
else. " Good Master," had co.tne to
mean no More than "The Honorable

mean, "Measure Your eoMPliments.

'second clause a our Lord's reply? The
Revision changes this also: One there
is who is good. Jesus will not be
classed merely with °thee "good mas-
ters." Whatsoever goodness the yonth
has found in him. is of God; so titles
of eohrtesy and cionvention are quite
out of place. So. far had God been
pushed back in the common theology
of the JeIWS that t,he rabbis had a
saying, " There is nothing that is good
Iau.t the Law." If thou wilt enter into
life, keep the commandments. A sec-

Sc I ask you, Where will you spend
eternity?
Oh, ,prepare for it. Leave it not
until the last hour. Leave it not un-
til you get sick,, you may never be
sick. Leave it not until you get marc
time; you may never get more time.
Leave it not until you get old; you
may never get old.. Leave it not un-
til the spirit strives more powerfully;
it may never strive again. Leave it
not until to -morrow. This night—
this night, thy soul may be. required
of thee. And Suppose, in that moment
you should say, "Wait until I can
kneel down and say my prayers."
Death would respond, "No time now
to say your prayers." "Wait until I'
get my friends together, and bid them
good -byre." Death would say, "You
cannot stop to bid them good-bye."
"But I cannot go into eternity with
all these sinsabout me. Give me time
to repent." Death would say, ''Too
late to repent! This night thy soul
is required. Yea, this hour! Yea,
this minute! -Yea, this second!"

This question, iu various forms was

oUr Lord's conduct and teachings
were inconsistent with such doctrine,
Neverthelees one truth I>ore constant-
ly on hig mind—that no man could
at one time have earthly treasure end
heavenly treaeure. A inan having
great earthly possessions, and hold-
ing therm. as "talente," as the goad
God's investments temporarily in-
trusted to him, is in the direct way
to get "great possessions" in heaven;
but a man ,with great poesessions
who feels that isa il0S3eSSOS them, who
reokons on worldly wealth as his
source of satisfaction, has no right,
according to our Lord's teaching, to

no sin in holding and using vitait money
we have; no man can use money wise-
ly who does Pat hold it to some de-
gree. But the sin is in a man's feel-
ing (eiaat his wealth is his own.
,These seven verses, ace grouped by
r,oan',uoeur.tfulinti: u
"olIrL

of Heavenly Treasure." Now let us
Ihy
define that cost to be?" For this
ale
young' 'Irian it was the s s
eaildily treasure and the giving of it
(to those that needed it nrost; for us
all it is a similar ?dying to the
world" and "Living to God." It is liv-
ing in the world., ,but not of it; it is
having our conversation, citizenshiP, in
heaven. 11 is wise, as in another
lesson we learned to naake friends
the mammon of unrighteousness ; but
that can be done only by losing worldly
wealth as We use overcoats and winter
wraps, ready to slip them off at the
proper moment. And so, in . brief,
the cost of heavenly treasure is doing
without treasure in this world; not al-
ways doing without money,' knit al-
ways doing without treasure; for our
treasure is in heaven.
22. Ile went; away sorrowful. Sad to
say, his sorrow does not seem to have
been of that 'godly sort that worketh
repentance; but it indicated a pro-
longed inward conflict between desire
to follow .'Jesus and to retain the great
possessions.
28. Verily I say unto you: A gather-
inj1 up of all the emphasis with which
our I.,ord could impel a truth. A rich
man shall hardly enter into 'the king-
dom of heaven. Mark, who 'gives 'a
more detailed account, adds that in
answer to his diseiples our Lord ex-
plained this to mean a man that trusts
in riches. The word "hardly" repre-
sents a great difficulty. The."kingdom
of heaven" sta.nd,s for the dominance
of the heavenly idea, 'whether in this
world or in th.e world to come -

proverbial saying, expressing, by a
figure easily comprehended, a • diffi-
culty that could never be surmount-
ed by natural forces. The needle
represents the entrance into the
kingdom of God. A camel can pass
theteugh at' only by the exercise of
miraculous power cal the camel, for
God's gateway is essentially un-
chan.geable. So' the rich Mall can-
not possibly enter into the kingdom
of God, no rich mao can, who htis lived
to amass, and who is trusting•c'in, his
wealt.h. Nevertheless, as OUT Lord
preceeds to show, men to whom God
intrusts wealth are given an oppor-
tunity not only to enter the kingdom
of God, but to become tall saints
