Tents of Dr. Talmage's Sunday Morning Seeman— He Complains That Certain Advertisers Have Been Ching His Name Without Authority. BsooiLYN, Feb. 26.—Prbvious to the sermon in the Brooklyn tabernacle this morning Rev. Dr. Talmage, in -giving out a number of notices, dwelt u do the fact that certain picture makers of -' Brookle n had used his name as a reference in their ad- ' vertisem °nts and circulars without his authority. Thousands of letters of com- plaint have come to him in this respect, and he wanted it distinctly understood that he knew nothing of these people or their business methods. The Wit selected for the morning sermon was Matthew xxiii, 37, "As a hen gathereth her chickens under. her wings, and ye would not." WHY THIS SIMILE' Jerusalem was in might as Christ came to the crest of Mount Olivet, a height of 700 feet. The splendors of thereligious capital of the whole earth irradiated the landscape. There is the temple. Yonder is the king's palace. Spread out before his eyes are the pomp, the wealth, the wickedness and the coming destruction of Jerusalem, and ;,he bursts into tears at the thought of the ob- duracy of a place that he would gladly have saved, and apostrophizes, saying, "0, Jeru- salem, Jerusalem, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would -not !" Why did Christ select hen and chickens as a simile ? Noxt to the appositeness of the comparison I think it was to help all public teachers in the matter of illustration to get down off their stilts and 'use, com- parisons that all can' understand. The plainest bird on earth ie the barnyard fowl. Its only adornments are the red comb in its headdress and the wattles under the throat. It has • no grandeur of genealogy. All we know is that its ancestors came from India, some of - them from a height of 4,000 feet on the sides of the Himalayas. It has no pretension of rest like the eagle's eyrie. It has no lustre of lumage.like the y I? a goldfinch. Possessing anatomy that allows flight, yet about Ate last thing it wants to do is to fly, and in retreat uses foot almost -as much as wing. Musicians have written out in musical scale the song of lark and robin redbreast and nightingale, yet the hen of my text hath nothing that could be taken for a song but only chuck and cackle. Yet Christ in the text, uttered while looking at doomed Jerusalem, declares that what he had wished for that city was `like what the hen does for her chickens. Christ was thus simple in his teachings, and yet how hard it is for us, who are Sunday school instructors and editors and preachers and reformers and those who would gain the ears of audiences, to attain that heavenly I and divine art of simplicity. We have to run a course of literary dis- orders as children a course of physical disorders. We come out of school and college loaded down with Greek myth- ologies, and out of the theological seminary weighed down with what the learned fathers said, ' and we fly with wings of eagles and flamingoes and albatrosses, and it takes a good while before we can come down to Christ's similitudes, the candle under the bushel, the salt that has lost its savor, the net thrown into the sea, the spittle on the eyes of tile blind man and the hen and chickens. There is not much, poetry about this winged creature of God mentioned in my text, but she is more practical and more motherly and more suggestive of good things than many that fly higher and wear brighter cohere. She is not a prima donna of the skies nor a strut of beauty in the aisles of the forest. She does not cut a circle under the sun like the Rocky moun• tain eagle, but stays at home to look after family affairs. She does not swoop like the condor of the Cordilleras to trans- port a rabbit from the valley to the top of the crags, but just scratches for a living. How vigorously with her claws she pulls away the ground to bring up what is hidetep beneath ! When the breakfast or dining hour arrives, she begins to prepare the repast and calls all her young to partake. THE HEN AS A TYPE. 1 am in sympathy with the Rnpretentious, old-feehioned hen, because, like most of us, she bias to scratch for a. living. She knows at the start the lesson which most people of good sense are slow to learn—that the gaining of a livelihood implies work, and that successes do not lie on the surface, but are to be upturned by positive and 'continu- ous effort. The reason that society, and the church, and the world are so full of failures, to full of loafer, so full of dead , beats, is because people are not wise enough to take the lesson which any hen would teach them—that if they would find for themselves and for those dependent upon them anything worth having they must scratch for it." Solomon said, "Go to the ant, thou slug- gard." I say, Go the hen, thou sluggard. In the Old Testament God compares him- self to an eagle stirring up her nest, and it the New Testament the Holy Spirit is com- pared to a descending dove, but Christ, in a sermon that begins with cutting sarcasm dor hypocrites and ends with the paroxysm of pathos in the text, compares himself to a hen. One day in the country we saw sudden consternation in the behavior of old Domi- nick. Why the hen should be so disturbed we could not understand. We looked about to see if a neighbor's dog were invading the farm.. We l oked up to see if a stormcloud were hoveruig. 'We could see nothing on the ground that could terrorize, and we could see nothing in the air to ruffle the feathers of then, but the loud,, wild, af- frighted cluck hick brought all her brood at full run under here feathers made us look again around us and above us, when we saw that high up and far away there was a rapacious bird wheeling around and around, and down and down, and not seeing us as we stood in the shadow it catfle nearer and lower until we saw its -beak was curved from base to trip, and it had two flames of fire for eves, gnd it was a hawk. But aft the chickens were under old Dominick's wings, and either the bird of prey caught a glimpse of us, or not able to find the brood huddled under wing darted back intd the clouds. So Christ calls with great ear estness to all the- young.' Why, what is the matter ? It is 'bright sunlight, and there can be no danger. Health is theirs. A good hotne is.theirs. Plenty of food is theirs. Prospect of long life is theirs. 13ut Christ continues to call, calls with more emphasis and urges haste and says not a second ought to be lost. , Oh, do tell us what is the matter 1 Ah, now I see; there are hawks of temp- tation iii the air; there are vultures wheel- ing for their prey, there are beaks of death ready to plunge; there are claws of allure- ment ready to clutch. Now I see the peril. Now I understand the urgency. Now I see the only safety. Would that Christ might Alia day teke our sons and daughters into his shelter,"as a hen gathereth her chickens under het. wing !" The fact is that the moat of them will never find the shelter un- lesa while they are chickens. It is a, simple matter of inexorable statistics that most of those who do not come to Christ in youth never torte ata1L - ' Hteaan BIRDS OF PREY. What chance is there for the young with- , out aivine protection ? There are the -grog. shops. Tlaure are the gambling hells. There are the infidelities' and immoralities of spiritualism. There are the bad books. Thee are the impurities. There are the ens rasealities. And so numerousare th a assailmente that it is a wonder that honesty and virtue are not lost arts. The birds of prey, diurnal and nocturnal, of the natural world are ever on the alert.. They are the assassins of the sky. They have varieties of taste. The eagle prefers the flesh of the living animal. The vulture prefers the carcass. The falcon kills with one stroke, while other styles of beak give prolongation of torture. And so the temptations of this life are various. Some make quick work of death, and others agonize the mind and body for many years, and some like the living blood of great souls, and other prefer those al- ready gangrened. But for every style of youth there is a swooping wing, and a sharp beak, and a cruel claw,; and what the rising generations needs is a wing of protection. Fathers, mothers, older brothers and sisters, and Sabbath school teacher, be quick and earnest and prayerful and importunate, and get the cititkens nn - denying) May the Sabbath schools of America and Great Britain within the next three months sweep all their scholars into the kingdom! Whom they have now under charge is un- certain. Concerning that scrawny, puny child that lay in the cradle many years ago, the father dead, many remarked, "What a mercy if the Lord would take the child!" and the mother really thought so too. But what a good thing that God spared"- that child, for it became would renowned in Christian literature and one of God's moat illustrious servants—John Todd, Remember, your children will remain children only alittle while. What you do for themaas children you must do quickly or never to at all. "Why have you never written a book?" said some one to a talent- ed woman. She replied : "I am writing two and have been engaged on one work 10 years and on the other five years—my two children. They are my life work." When the house of John. Wesley's father burned, and they got the eight childrdn out—John Wesley the last—before the roof fell in the father said: "Let us kneel down and thank God. The dtildren are all saved; let the rest of the place go." My hearers, if we secure the present and everlasting welfare of our children, most other things belonging to us are of but lit- tle comparative importance. Alexander the . Great allowed his soldiers to take their families with them to war, and he account- ed for the bravery of his men by the fact that many of them were born in camp and were used to warlike scenes from the start. Would God that all the children of our day might be born into the array of the Lord ! No reed of letting them go a long way on the wrong road before they turn around and go on the right road. The only time to get chickens uuder wing is while they are chickens, Hannah Whitall Smith, the evangelist, took her,little child at 2 years of age when ill -out of the crib and told her plainly of Christ, and the child believed and gave evi- dence of joyful trust which grew with her growth into. womanhood. Two years are not too young. The time will come when by the faith of parents children will be born into this world and born into the bos- om of Christ at the same time. Soon we parents will -have to go and leave oar chil- dren. We fight their battles now, and we stand between them and harm, but our arm will after awhile get weak, and we cannot fight for them, and our tongue will be palsied, and we cannot speak for them. Are we going to leave them out in the cold world to take their chances, or are *e do. ing all we can to get them, under the wing of eternal safety. WE NEED THE PROTECCTING WINGf. But we all need the protecting wars, If you had known when you entered upon manhood and womanhood what was ahead of you, would you have dared to undertake life ? How much you would haste been through ! With most life has been a Fdisap- pointment. They tell me so. They have not attained that which they expected to at- tain. They have not had the physical and mental vigor they expected, or they have met with rebuffs which they did not antici- pate. You are not at 40 or 50 or' 60 or 70 or 80 years of age where you thought you would be. 1 do not know any one except myself to whom life has been a happy sur- prise. I never expected anything, and so when anything came in the shape of human favor or comfortable position or widening field of work it was to me a surprise. I was told in the theological seminary by some of my fellow students that I never would get anybody to hear me preach unless I changed my style, so that when I found some people did come to hear me it was a happy surprise. But most people, according to their own statement, have found kfe a disappointment. Indeed we all need shelter from its tempests. About 3 o'clock on a hot August afternoon you have heard a rumble that you first took for a wagon crossing a bridge, but afterward there was a louder rumbling, and you said, "Why, that is thunder !" And, sure enough, the clouds were being convoked for a full diapason. A whole park of artillery went rolling down the heavens, and the blinds of the windows in the sky were closed. But the sounds above were not more certain than the sounds beneath. The cattle came to the bars and moaned for them to be let down that they might come home to shelter, and the fowl, whether dark Brahma or Hamburg or Leg- horn or Dominick, began to call to its young, "Cluck ! Cluck ! Cluck 1" and take them under 'the wagon house or shed, and had thein all hid under.the soft feathers by the time that the first plash of rain struck the roof. So there are sudden tempeats for the souls, and, oh ! how dark it gets, and thzeatened clouds of bankruptcy or sickness or persecution or bereavement gather and thicken and blacken, and some run for shelter to a bank, but it is a poor shelter, and . others run to friendly 'advisers, and they fail to help, and others fly nowhere, simply because they know not where to go, and they perish in the blast, but others hear a divine call, saying, "Come, for all things are now ready." "The spirit and the bride say come." And while the heav- ens are thundering terror the divine voice proffers mercy, and the soul comes under 'the brooding care of the Almighty "as a hen gathering her' chickens under her wings." WE WANT WARMTH. The wings of my text suggest warmth, and that is what most folks want. The fact is that this is a cold world, whether you take it Iiterally or figuratively. We have a big fireplace called the sun, and it has a very hot fire, and the stokers keep the coals well stirred up, but much of the year we cannot get near enough to this fireplace to get warmed. The world's extremities are cold all the time. Forget not that it is colder at the south pole than at the north pole, and that the Arctic is not so destruc- tive as the Antarctic. Once in awhile the Arctic will let explorers .corse back, but the Antarctic hardly ever. When at the south pole a ship sails in, the door of ice is almost sure to be closed against its re- turn. So life to many millions of people at the south and many millions of people at the north is a prolonged shiver. But when I say that this is a cold world I chiefly mean figuratively. If you want to know what is the meaning of the ordinary term of re- ceiving the "cold shoulder," get out of money and try to borrow. The conversa- tion may have been almost tropical for lux- uriance of thought and speech, but suggest yournecessities and see the thermometer drop to nu aegrees below zero, - and in that which till a moment before had been a warns room. Take what is an unpopu- lar position on some public questions and see your friends fly as chaff before a wind- mill. As far as myself is concerned, I have no word of complaint, but I look off day by day and see communities - freezing out men and women of whom the world is not wor- thy. Now it takes after one and now after another. It becomes popular to depreciate and defame andexecrate and lie about some people. This is the best world I ever got into, but it Is the meanest world that some people ever got into. The worst thing that ever happened to them was their cradle, anil the beat thing that will ever happen to theta will be their grave. What people want is warmth. Many years ago a man was floatingdown on the ice of the Merrimac, and great ef- forts were made to rescue him. Twice he got hold of a plank thrown to him, and twice heslippedaway from it because that end of the plankwas covered with ice, and he cried out, "For God's sake, give me the wooden end of the plank this time," and this done he was hauled to shore. The trouble is that in our efforts to save the soul there is too much coldness and icy formality, and so the imperiled one slips off and floats down. Give it the other end of the plank—warmth of sympathy, warmth of kindly association, warmth of genial surroundings. The world declines to give it, and in many cases has no power to give it, and here is where Christ comes in, and as on a cold day, the rain beating and the atmosphere full of sleet, the hen clucks her chickens_ under her wings, and the warmth of her own breast puts warmth theand the chilled. feet into wet feathers a of the infant group of the barnyard, so Christ says to those sick and frosted and disgusted and frozen of the world come in out of the March winds of the world's crit- icism ; come in out of the sleet of the world's assault ; come in out of a world that does not understand you and does not want to understand you. I will comfort, and I will soothe, and I will be your warmth, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wing." Oh! the warm heart of God is ready for all those to whom the world has given the cold shoulder. But notice that some one must take the storm for the chickens. Ah, the hen takes the storm. I have watched her under the pelting rain. I have seen her in the pinch- ingpoets almost frozen to death o f r al- a most strangled in the waters, and what a fight she makes for the young under wing if a dog, or a hawk, or a man come too near! And so the brooding Christ takes the storm for us. • What flood of anguish and tears that did not dash upon his holy soul ! What beak of torture did not pierce his vitals! What barking Cerberus of hell was not let out upon him from the ken- nels ! What he endured, oh, who can tell, To sage our souls from death and hell ! CHRIST TAKES THE STORM FOR US. Yes, the leen took the storm. for the chickens, and Christ takes the storm for us. Once the tempest rose so suddenly the hen could not get with her young back from the new ground to the barn, and there she is under'the fence half dead. And now the rain turns to snow, and it is an awful night, and in the morning the whiteness about the gills and the beak down in the mud show that the mother is dead, and the young ones come out and cannot under- stand why the mother does not scratch for them something to eat, and they walk over her wings ani call with their tiny voices, but there is no answering cluck. She took the store► for others and perished. Poor thing ! Self sacrificing even unto death. And does it not make you think of him who endured all for us? So the wings un- der which we come: for spiritual safety are blood -spattered wings, are night -shadowed wings, are tempest -torn wings. In the Isle of Wight I saw the grave of Princess Eliza- beth, who died 4 while a prisoner at Caris- brook castle, her finger on an open Bible and pointing to the words, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Oh, come under the wings ! But now the summer day is almost past, and the shadows of the house and barn and wagon shed have lengthened. The farmer, with scythe or hoe on shoulder, is returning from the fields. The oxen are unyoked. The horses are crunching the oats at the full bin. The air is bewitched of honey- suckle and wild brier.The milkman, �paie in hand, is approaching The the barnyard. fowls, keeping early hours, are collecting their young. "Cluck!" "Cluck!" "Cluck!' and soon all the eyes of that feathered nursery are closed. The bachelors of the winged tribe have ascended to their perch, but the hens, in a motherhood divinely appointed, take all the risk of a slumber on the ground, and all night long the wing* will stay outspread and the little ones will not utter a sound. Thus at sundown, lovingly, safely, coin- pletely, the hen broods her young. So, if we are the Lord's the evening of our life will come. The heats of the day will have paesed. There will be shadows, and we cannot see as far. The work of life will be about ended. The hawks of temptation that hovered in the sky will have gone to the woods and folded their wings. Sweet silences will come down. The air will be redolent with the breath of whole arbors of promises sweeter than jasmine or evening primrose. The air may be a little chill, but Christ will call us, and we will know the voice and heed the call, and we will come under the wings for the night, the strong wings, the soft wings, the warm wings, and without fear, and in full sense of safety,and then we will rest from sundown to sunrise!'as a he gathereth her chickens under her wings." Dear me 1 How many souls the Lord hath thus brooded 1 Mothers, after watching over sick cradle& and then 'watching afterward over way- ward ayward sons and daughters, at last them- selves taken care of by a motherly God.
