"Though Ye Dave Lain Among the Pots, Yet Shall Ye be as the Wings of,a Dove Covered With Silver, and Der Feathers With Yellow Gold.”! BROOKLYN, April the Brooklyn Tabereacle to -day, Rev. Dr. Talmage preached to a crowded andieuce on a subject of unusual interest, as illustrat- ing the sustaiaing powei. of religiou to those who are in. daily contact with the. world, its trials and temptations. The text chosen was Psi -dins 68, 13-: "Though ye have lain among tile Nis, yet shall yebeas the wings of a dove covered with silver, mid her feathers witleyellow gold." I suppose you know • what the Israel- ites did down in Egyptian slavery. They made bricks, Amid the 'utensils of the brick -kiln these were also other utensils of cookery -the -kettles, the pots; the pans, with whielt they prepared their daily food; and when these poor slaves, tired of the day's; work, Jay down to rest, they lay down' among the iniple- meets of cookery aod the implements of hard work. When they arose in the morning they found their garments covered with the clay and. the smoke and the dust, and besmirched and be- grimed with the - utensils of cookerv. But after a while the Lord broke up that slavery, and, he took these poor _slaves into a land Where they had better garb, bright and clean and beautiful ap-, parel. No more Oriel:Fr for them to make. 'Let Pharaoh make his own bricks. When David, in my text. comes to describe the transition of these poor Israelites from their bondage amid the brick -14 lIns in to the glorious • emancipa- tion for which God had prepared them, he said : "Though ye have • lainamong the:pots, yet shalt ye be as the wings of a dove covered with. silver, and her feathers with yellow gold." . Miss Whately, the author of a cele- brated book, "Life in Egypt," said she. sometimes saw people in Lite East cook- ing their food on tops of houses tied that she often seen,just before sundowu , pigeons and doves which had, during the day, been hiding among the kettles and pans, with whieh the food was pre- pared, picking up the • crumbs that they might !hide just about the hour of sun- set they would spread their wings and fly heavenward, entirely consoled by tile region in_which they had moved, for the pigeon is a very cleanly bird. And as the pigeons fiew away the setting sun xvould -throw silver on their wings and gold on their breasts. So -you see it is not a- far-fetched simile, or an unnat- ural comparison, When David in my text says to these emancipated Israel- ites, and says to all those- who are brought Out of any kind of trouble into tiny kind of spiritual joy. "Though e have lain among tile pots, yet shall \ e lee as the wings of a deee covered with silver, and her feathers ‘vith yellow gokl." S111 is the hardest of all taskmasters. Worse than Pharaoh., it keeps us drudg- ing . in a most degrading service; but after a while Chriet comes and he sa.ys, -Lot .My people go" and we pass out from among the brick -kilns of sin into - the glorious liberty of the Gospel; we put on the clean robes a a Christian prolession, and Avhen, at last, we soar away to the warm nest which God has provided Or us iu -Heaven, we shall go tither than a dove, and its wings cover- ed with silver, and its feathers ‘vith yel- low gold. I am going to preach something which some of you do not believe, and that is, ,atInc grandest possible adornment is, the religion of Jest's Christ. There are e great. Malley people who suppose that religion is a very different thiug from what it really -is, The reason con- demn the Bible is because they do uot rnderstand the Bible ; they have not eroperly examined it. Dr. Johnson stud that Hume told a minister in the 1;ishopric of Durham, that lie had never particularly examined the New Testa- ment, yet all his life warring against it. Halley, the astronomer, announced his eeepldeisoi to Sir Isaac Newton, and Sir Isaac Newton said, "Now, sir, I have examined the subject and you have not ; zilid I am ashamed that you, professinw to be a philosopher, consent to condemn a thing you never have examined." And se men reject the religion ofJesus Christ because they really have never investigat- edit.• They think it sornethiug undesir- e.ele, soinething that \\*in not work, -oniethino- Peciisniffian„ somethinre• hy- ..ecritical7 something repulsive, when it Lb so bright and so beautiful you alight ceinpare it to a citaftiuch, you might compare it to a robin -red -breast, yeti thigut compare it to a dove, its wings eovered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold. But how is it if a young man becomes a Christian ? All throug-li the club rooms, where he associates, all through the business circles where he is knee 11, there is comniiseration. They say, nWhat a pay that a young man, who had such bright prospects should ee have- heetielespoiled by those Christians, giv- ing up all his. wordly prospects for something which is of no particular pre - Sent worth!" Here is a young woman '}vlio becomes a Christian ; her voice, her face, her manners the charm Of the drawing -room. Now all thiough the fashionable circles the whisper goes: '-'What a pity that such a* bright. light should have been extinguished; 'that such et graceful gait should be crippled, that such • worldly prospects should be dblite•rated 1" Ali, my frtends, it can be shown that religion's ways are ways of- pleasantnesS, and that all her paths are peace ; that religion, iustead of being _clerk amd doleful. and lachrymose and repulsive is bright and beautiful, fairer than a deve, its wings cevered with sil- ver, and its feathers with yellow gold. See, in the first place, what religion will do for a man's heart. -I care not hew cheerfel a.rnan may naturally be before conversion, conversion „brings him up to a -higher standard of -cheerful- ness. I do not. say he will laugh any louder; I do not say but he may stand hack from some -forms of hilarity in which lie once indulged; but there conies into his soul au ...immense satisfaction. Al yoteng man not a Christian depends uponl worldly succestes to keep his spirits up. Now he is prospered; no w he has a large salary; now he has a beautifid wardrobe; now he haSpleasant friends; now he has more money than he knows how to spend; everything goes' bright and well with him. But trouble comes -there are many 'young men inthde house this morning who can testify out of their own experience that sornetimes to young:men trouble does cone -his friends are gone, his salary is gon , his health is gone; he goes down, down. He becomes sour, cross, queer, misanthropic; blames the world, blamet socinty, blames the Church, blames . evetything; rushes, perhaps, to the in- tox eating cup to drown his trduhlee but instead of drowning his trouble, ho dr 0/11S his body and drowns Ins soul. • .!it here is• a Christian young man. Tr hIde comes to him. Does he give up ?i No ! He throws himself on the resolnrces of heaven. He '' e savs. "God i • etsfai my rather, Mt or an Mod disasters shall pluck advantage for my soul. All thepromises are mine, Christ is mine, Christiancompanionship -is mine, heaven is rnme. What though my apparel be worn -out? Christ gives me a lobe of righteousness. What though my rcioney be gone I have a title deed to the whole universe in the promise, 'Al! are yours.' Whet though my worldly friends fall away? Ministering angels are iny bodyguard. What though my fare be poor, and iny bread be scant? I sit at the King's banquet -IP 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 iren-bound beach of • the sea when there has been a stolen on the ocean, and you have seen the waves dash into white foam at your feet. They did not do you any harm. While there you thought 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 pres- ent help in tint° of trouble; Therefore will I not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midstof the sea, though the waters thereof reek and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." Oh, how independ- ent the religien of Christ makes a man of worldly success and worldly circum- stances 1 Nelson, the night before his last battle, said : "To -morrow I shall win either a peerage or grave in West- minster Abbey." And it (bees not make much differinice to 1 the Christian whether he rias or fella in worldly mat- ters ; he has ever lastimill renown any- way. Other Plunaage may be torn in the blast, but that soul adorned with Christian grace is fairer than the dove, its wings covered with fairer, and its feathers with gold. You and -I Ive found oat that people who pretend t be happy are not always T happy. Look at that young man cari- caturing the Christian religion, s offing at eveuthing good, going into r yster- ing drunkenness, dashing the cham- pagne bottle to the floor, rolli g the glasses front the bar -room center, laughing; shonting, stamping the floor. Is lie happy ? I will go to his mi night pillow. 1 will see him turn the gas off. 1 will ask myself if the pillow on which he sleeps is as soft as the pillow on which the pure young man sleeps. Ali! no. When he opens his eyes in the morning,. will the world be as bright to him is tosthat 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 st:Jooia so that you hear it as - you past; by, -hilt it is hollow laughter; in it is the snapping of heart -strings and the rattle.of prison gates. Happy! that young man happy? Let him fill high the bowl ; he cannot drown an,upbeaiding conscience. Let the balls roll through the bowling alley; the deep rumble and the sharp crack cannot overpower the voices of condem- nation. Let him whirl in the dance of sin and temptation and death. All the brilliancy of the scene cannot make him forget the last look of his mother when he left home, when she said to him, "Now, my son, you will do right; I am Bare you will do right; you will, won't you -?"-That young man happy? Why, across every night there flit shadows of eternal darkness; there are adders coiled up in every cup; there are vultures of despair striking their iron beak into his heart; there are skeleton fingers of grief pinching at his throat,Y' I come in amid the clicking of the glasses and under the flashing of the chandeliers, and I cry, ','Woe 1 woe 4.. The way of the ungodly shall perishtd There is no peace, Beall my God, to thee wicked. The way of transgressors 10- haed." Oh, my friends, there is mere • joy in one drop of Christian eatisfacticin than in whole rivers of sinful delight. Other wings may be drenched of the storm and splashed of the tempest; but the dove that comes in through the window of the heavenly ark has wings like the dove covered with silver, • and her feathers with yellow geld. Again I remark, religion is an adorn- ment in the style of usefulness into which it inducts'a man. Here are two young men. The one has fine culture, exquisite wardrobe, plenty of friends, great worldly succed; but he lives for himself. His chief care for is his own comfort, He lives uselessly. He dies unregretted. Here is another young man. His apparel May not be so good. He lives for otlif rs. His happiness is to make ethers happy. He is as self-deny- ing as that dying soldier falling in the ranks, when he said, "Colonel, there is no need' of those boys tiring themselves by carrying me to *the hospital ; let me die just where I am." So this young man of.whom .I speak loves God, wants all the world to love Him, is not 'ashamed to carry a bundle of clothes up ,that dark alley to the poor. Which of those young men do you:admire the bet- ter? The one a sham, the other a prince imperial. Oh, do you know of anything, my hearer, that is more beautiful than to see a young man start out for Christ? Here is some one falling;he lifts him up. Here is a vagabond boy ; he introduces him to a mission school: Here is a family freezing to death ; he carries them a scuttle of coal. There are eight hundred millions perithing in midnight heathen darkness ; by all possible means he tries to send them the Gospel. He may'be laughed at, and he may be sneered at, and he may be caricatured, but he is not ashamed to go everywhere saying, "I am not ashamed of the Gos- pel of Christ. It is the power of God and the wisdom of God unto salvation." Such a young man can go through everything. There is ho force on earth or itt hell that can resist him. I show you three spectacles. Spectacles the first : Napoleon passes by with the host . that, went down with him to Egypt, and up with him through Russia, and crossed the contiuent on the bleeding heart of tyllich 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 asking his at- tendants to put on his military boots for hims Spectacle the second, Voltaire, bright and learned and witty and eloquent, with tongue and voice and stratagem infernal, warring against God and pois- oning whole kingdoms with his infi- delity., yet applauded by the clans ping hands of thrones and empires aud , continents -his last words, iti, delir- ium supposing Christ standing by his bedside -Ins last words, "Crush that wretch!" Spectacle the third, Paul -Paul , in- significant in prison, thrust out frotri'alf refined association, scouiged, spat on, hounded like a wild beast from city t to city; yet trying to make the world good: and Heaven full; announcing resurrec- tion to those who mourned at the .harred gate of the dead; speaking consolations which light up the eyes of widowhood and orphanage and want with glow of certain and eternal release; undaunted before those who could take his life, his cheek flushed with transport and his eye on Heaven ; . with one hand shaking defiance at all the roes or eartn ana alt trie cipalities of hen, - and with other hand beckoning messenger an to come and bear him away, as he s "I am now ready to be offered, and time of my departure is at hand ; 1 I fought the good fight, I have finished course. I have kept the faith; hencef there is laid up for me a crown of rig ousness which the Lord, the righte Judge, will give me." {ViliCh of the three spectacles do most admire? When the wind of de 1-aruck the conqueror and the inii they were tossed like sea -gulls in a t pest, drenched of the wave and torn tile hurricane, their dismal voices he through the everlasting storm ; when the wave and wind of death str Paul, like an albatross he made a thr ef the tempest, and one day flea away into .the calm, clear summer heaven, brighter than the dove, its wi covered with silver, and its feati with yellow gold. Oh, are you not love with such a religion -.-a relig that can de so muoli for a man while lives, and se much for a man when comes to die? I suppose you may have noticed contrast between the departure o Christian and the departure of an Diodorus dying in chagriu cause he could not compose a joke eq to the joke uttered at the other end his. table; Zeuris, dying in a fit . laughter at the sketch of an aged inan-a sketch made by his own han Mazarin, dying playing cards, his frien holding his hands because he was u • able to hold them hitnself. All that • one side, compared with the departu of the Scotch •minister, who. said to I friends : have no interest as whether I live or die; if I die, I shall with tie Lord; and if I live, the Lo \vill be with me*" Or the last \words Washington : "It is well." Or the 1 words of McIntosh, the learned and tl great ; "Happy !" Or the last vvor fianuali More, the Christion poetes "Joy 1" Or those thousands of Cnristia who have gone, saying : "Lord jes receive my spirit! Come, Lord Jesu come quickly I" "0 death where thy sting? 0 grave ! where is thy vi tory'?" Behold the contrast. Behold ti charm of the one, behold the darkne of the other. Now, I know it is ver - popular in this day for young men think there is something more chermii in scepticism than in religion. The are ashamed of the old-fashioned rel giOn of the cross, and they pride thei selves ou their free -thinking on all the subjects. • My young friends, I want t tell yeti what I know from observation That, while scepticism is a beautiful tan at tne start, it is the great Sahara Desei at the lab t. Years ago a minister's sou went from hotne to college. At the college li formed the ucquaintauce of • a voun man %vitoin 1 shell call Ellison, aiso was au infidel. Ellison scoffed at rel o,ion, and the mi»ister's son soon learn ed front him the infidelity, and when h went home on his vacation broke his father's heart by his denunciation o Christianity Time passed on and vaca tem. tame, .and the minister's son wen off to spend the vactaimi and was on jeurney and came to a hotel. Th notel-keeper said , "I am sorry that to night I shall leave to On't you in a rOotn adjoining one where there is a very sicl and dying man. I can give you n other accommodation." "Oh," said th young college student and minister' son, "that will make DO difference to me except. the matter of sympathy wit] -'!any body that is suffering." The youn man retired to his room, but could no sleep. All night long he heard the groan ing of the sick man, or the step of the watchers, and his soul trembled. He thought to himsell,"Now, there is only a thin %yell between me and a departing • spirit. How if Ellison snould know how I feel? How if Ellison should find out how my heart flu t ters ? What if Ellison knew my scepticism gave way?" He slept not. In the morning, coming down, he said to the hotel -keeper, .` 'How is the sick man ?" "Oh," said the hotel -keeper, "he is .dead, poor fellow ! Ttfe (lectors told us he could not last tnrough the night." "*Well," said the young man, "what was the sick one's name • where is he from?" "Well," said die hotel -keeper, "he is from o- Pro- vidence College." "Providence Collee! \vhat is his name?". - "Ellison." "Eili son !" Oh, how the young man was stunned! It was his old college mate - dead xvithout any hope. It was many hours before the young man could leave that hotel. He got on his horse and started home•ward, and all the way he heard something saving to him, "Dead! Lost! Dead! Lost!" He came to no satisfaction until he entered the Christian life, the CoriStian minis: try, uutil he became one of the most eminent missionaries of the Cross, the greatest Baptist missionary the world has -ever seen since the days of Pa.ul-no superior to Adoniram Judson. Mighty oil earth, mighty in heaven-Adoniram Judson. Which do you like the best, Jtidson's scepticism or Judson's Christian life, Judson suffering for Chilst's Judson's almost martyrdom? Olnyouug man, take your choice betweeu these two kind of lives. Your own heart tells you this morning the ChristianIife Is more admirable, mere peaceful, more comfortable, and more beautiful. Oh, if religion does so much for a man on earth, what will 'it do. for him in heaven ? That is the thought that comes , to inc now. If a ,soldiel can afford to shout "Htizza !" • when he goes into letttle. how Much more ju bilantly ha can afford to shout "Huzza !". when ne :lias gained the victory 1 if religion is so good a thing to have here, how bright a. •thing it vill be in heaven I I want, to see that young man ,When the glories of heaven have robed and crowned him 1 want to hear him sing when ail huski- ness of 'earthly -colds is gene, and he ..rises up with the great doxology.
