fellows who are crying bargains under
the ordinary conditions. Such a cOl-

will astonish the most skeptical.

Another store in Sea.foith would at-

Saved Her Life.
Mrs. C. J. WOOLDRIDGE, Of WOrthard,
Texas, saved the life of her child by the
use of Ayer's Cherry PeetoraL
g'One of my children had Croup. The
ease was attended by our physician, and was
supposed to he well under control. One
night I was startled by the child's hard
breathing, and on going to it found it stran-
ghee. It had nearly ceased to breathe.
Realtztng that the child's alarming condition
had become possible in spite of the medicines
given, I reasoned that such remedies would
be of no avail. Having part of a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave
the child three doses, at short intervals, and
-anxiously waited results. From the moment
the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing
grew easier, and, in a short time, she was
sleeping quietly and breathing naturally.
The child is alive and well to -day, and I do
not hesitate to say that Ayer's Cherry Pec-
toral saved her life."

AGAIN IN tROOKLYN.
DR. TALIVIAGE FINDS MANY LESSONS
IN THE JOY Of COMING HOME.
Of All Words In the Langusage None Con'
veys So Many Sweet Suggeetions as the
Word Home -Joy of Christians and:- Are
gels Over the Convert..
•
First of all, there is the new convert'
. .It is no tame thing to boeorno a Chris-
tian. The most tremendous moment in a
man's lifo is when be surrenders himself
to God. The grandest time on the father's
homestead is when the boy comes back:
Among the great throng who in the par-
lors of my church professed Christ one
night was a young man, who next morn-
ing rang my doorbell and said: "Sir, I
cannot contain myself with the joy I feel.
Iecame here this morning to express it. I
have found more joy in five minutes in
serving Gad than in all the years of my
prodigality, and I came to say so."
You have seen perhaps a man running
for his physical liberty and the officers of
the law after him, and you saw him es-
cape, or afterward you heard the judge had
pardoned.him, and how great was the glee
of that rescued man! But it is a very tame
*thing that compared with the running
for one's everlasting life, the terrors of
the law after him, and Christ coming in
to pardon and bless and rescue and save.
You remember John Bunyan, in his great
story, tells how the pilgrim put his fingers
In his ears and ran, crying, "Lite, life,
eternal life!" A poor car driver, after
having,had to struggle to support his fain-
tly for years, suddenly was informed that
aglarge inheritance was his, and there was
joy amounting to bewilderment, but that
is a small thing compared with the experi-
ence of one when he has put in his hands
the title deed to the joys, the raptures, the
splendors of heaven, and he can truly say,
"Its mansions are mine; its temples aro
mine; its songs are mine; its God is mine!"
Oh, it is no tame thing to become a
Christian. It is a merrymaking. It is
the killing of the fatted calf. It is jubilee.
You know the Bible never compares it to
a f117 3ra1, but always compares it to some-
thing bright. It is more apt to be com-
pared to a banquet than anything else. It
is compared in the Bible to the water -
bright, flashing water -to the morning,
roseate,fire worked, mountain transfigured
morning. I wish I could today take all
the Bible expressions about pardon and
peace and life and comfort and hope and
heaven, and twist them into ono garland,
and put it on the brow of tho humblest
child of God in all this land, and cry:
"Wear it, wear anew, wear it forever, son
of God, daughter of the Lord God Al-
mighty! Oh, the joy of tho new convert!
Oh, the gladness of the Christian service!"
St Paul's Testimony.
You have seen sometimes a man in a re-
ligious assembly get up and give his ex-
perience. Well, Paul gave his experience.
'Ho rose in the presence of two churches -
the church on earth and the church in
heaven-eand he said: "Now, this is my
experience: Sorrowful, yet always rejoice.
Ing; poor, yet making man rich; having
nothing, yet poessing all things." If
all the people who read this sermon knew
the joys of the Christian religion, they
would all pass over into the kingdom of
God the next moment. When Daniel
Sandeman was dying of cholera, his at-
tendant said, "Have you much pain?"
"Oh," he replied, "since I found the Lord
I -have never had any 'pain except sin."
1Then they said to him, "Would you like to
send a message to your friends?" "Yes,
would. Tell them that only last night al
love of Jesus came rushing into my sou -
like the surges of the sea, and I had to cry
out: 'Stop, Lord. It is enough! Stop, Lord
-enough!' " Oh, the joys of this Chris-
tian religioni
Just pass over from those tame joys in
which you are indulging -joys of this
world -into the raptures of the gospel.
The world cannot satisfy you, you, have
found out -Alexander longing for other
worlds tre conquer, and yet drowned in his
own bottle, Byron whipped by disquiet-
udea around the world, Voltaire cursing
his own soul while all the streets of Paris
were atiiplauding him, Henry II consuming
with hatred against poor Thomas a Becket
-all illustrations of the fact that this
world cannot make a man happy. The
very man who poisoned the pommel of the
addle on which Queen Elizabeth _rode
Shouted in- the street, "God save 'the
queen!" One moment tho world applauds,
and the next moment the world anathe-
matizes. Oh, come.over into this greater
joy, this sublime solace, this magnificent
beatitude!
The Song at Shiloh.
The night after the battle of Shiloh then
were thousands of wounded on the field,
and the ambulances had not come. One -
Christian soldier, lying there a -dying un
der the starlight, began to sing:
1 BROOKLYN, Nov. 11. -Rev. Dr. Tal-
mage, having conelnded -his round the
world tour, has selected as the subject for
today's discourse through the press, '`Home
Again," the text chosen being Luke xv,
28, !'Bring hither the fatted calf and kill
In all ages of the world it has been otaa-
tomary to celebrate joyful events by festiv-
ity -the signing of treaties, the proclama-
tier; of peace, the Christmas, the marriage.
However much on other days of the year
our table may have stinted supply, on
Thanksgiving day there must be some-
thing bounteous, and all tho comfortable
homes of Christendom have at some time
celebrated joyfuVvents by banquet died
festivity.
The Joyful Feast.
Something has happened in the old
homestead greater than anything that has
ever happened before. A favorite on,
whom tho world suvosed would bocoMe a
vagabond and outlaw forever, has got
tired of sightseeing and has returned to
his father's house. The world said he
never would come back. The old man al-
ways said his son would come. He had
been looking for him day after day and
year after year. Ele know he would come
back. Now, having returned to his fa-
ther's house, the father proclaims celebra-
tion. There is a calf in tho paddock that
has been kept up and fed to utmost capac-
ity, so as to be ready for some occasion of
joy that might come along.
Ah, there never will be a grander day
on the old homestead than this day. Let
the butchers do their work and the house-
keepers bring in to the table the smoking
meat. The musicians will take their
places, and the gay groups will move up
and down the floor. All the friends and
neighbors are gathered in, and extra sup-
ply is sent out to the table of the servants.
The father -presides at the table and says
grace and thanks God that his long absent
boy is home again. Ohalhow they mipsed
hirn! How glad they are to have him
back I Ono brother indeed stands pouting
at the back door and says: "This is a great
ado about nothing: This bad boy should
have been chastened instead of greeted.
Veal is too good for him!" But the father
says, "Nothing is too good; nothing is
good enough." There sits the young man,
glad at the hearty reception, but a shadow
of sorrow flitting across his brow at the
remembrance of tho trouble he had seen.
All ready now. Let the covers lift. Music.
He was dead, and he is alive again! He
was lost, and ho is found! _ By such bold
imagery does the Bible set forth the merry-
making when a soul comes home to God.
The Redeemed Soul.
There is a land of Pure delight.
Arid when he came to the next line then
were scores of voices uniting:
Where saints immortal reign.
The song was caught up all over the fiela
among the pounded until, it was said,
there were at least 10,000 wounded men
uniting their voices as they came to. tht
verse:
There everlasting spring abides,
And never withering flowers.
Death, like a narrow stream, divides.
That heavenly land. from ours.
Oh, it is a great religion to live by, and b
is ts'great religion to die by. There is onle
one heart throb between you and that re-
ligion this moment. Just look into the fact
of your pardoning God and surrender your
Felt for time and for eternity, and he it
yours, and heaven is yours, and , all • it
yours. Some of you, like the youeg man
of the text, have gone far astray. I knoa
not the history, but you know it -yon
know it.
When a young man went forth into life,
the legend says, his guardian angel went
forth with him, and getting him into a field
the guardian angel Swept a circle clear
around where the young man stood. It was
a circle of virtue and honor, and he must
not stop beyond that circle. Armed feet
came down, but were obliged to halt at the
circle. They could mit pass, but one day
a toinptress, with diamonded hand,
stretched forth and crossed that circle
with the band, and the tempted soul took
it, and by that one fell grip was brought
beyond the circle and died. Some of you
have stepped beyond that circle. Would
you not like this day, by the grace of God,
to step back?
This, I say to you, is your hour of sal-
vation. There was in the closing hours
of Queen Anne what is called the clock
scene. Flat down on the pillow, in help.
less sickness, she could not move ber_ head
or move her hand; She was waiting for
the hour when the minister's of state
should gather in angry contest,- and wor-
ried and worn out by the coming hour,
and in momentary absence of the nurse,
in the power-stranp power which de-
lirium sometimes gives one -she arose and
stood in front of the cloak, and stood there
watching the clock when the nurse, re-
turned. The nurse said, "Do you see any-
thing peculiar about that clock?" She
made no answer, but soon died. There is
a clock -scene in every history. If some of
you would rise from the bed of le-thargy
come out of your delirium of sin and
look on the clock of your destiny this mo-
ment, you would see and hear something
you have not seen or heard before, and ev-
ery tic.k of tho minute, and every stroke of
the hour, and every swing of the pendn-
lum would say, "Now, now, now, now!"
Oh, come home to your Father's house!
Come home, oh, prodigal, from the wilder-
ness! Como home, come home!
Joy of the Father.
But I notice that when the prodigal -
came there was the father's joy. Ho did
not greet him with any formal "how do
you do?" He did not come out and say:
"You are unfit to entor. Go out and wash
in the trough by the well, and then you
can come in.. We have had enough trou-
ble with you."
Ah, no! When the proprietor of that
estate proclaimed festival, it was an out-
burst of .ft father's love and a father's joy.
God is your father. I have not Much sym-
pathy with that description of God I some-
times bear, as though he were a Turkish
sultan -bard and unsympathetic and lis-
tening not to the cry ahis subjects.
A man told me he saw in t one of the
eastern lands a king riding along, and two
men were in altercation, and one charged
the other with having oaten his rice. And
the king said, "Thon slay the man, and
by post mortefn examination flnd whether
he has eaten the rice." And he was slain.
Ali, the cruelty of a scene like that! Our
God is not a sultan, not a despot, but a
father -kind, , loving, forgiving -and he
makes all heaVen ring again when a prod-
igal comes back. ``I have no pleasure,"
he says, "in the death of him that dieth."
If a man does not get to heaven; it is
because he will not go there. :No difference
the color, nee difference the history, no
difference the antecedents, no differences
the surroundings, no difference the sin.
When the 'white horses of Christ's victory
are brought out to celebrate the eternal tri-
umph, you may ride one of them, and as
God is greater than all his joy is greater,
and -when a soul comes back thdre is in his
heart the surging of an infinite ocean of
gladness, and to express that, gladness it
takes all the rivers of pleasair6, and all tho
thrones of pomp, and all the ages of eter-
nity. It is a joy deeper than all depth, and
higher than all height, and wider than all
width, and vaster than all immensity. It
overtops, it undergirds, it outweighs all
the united splendor and joy of the universe.
Who can tell what God's joy is?
- atrial° of the Redeemed.
Yon remem ber reading the story of a king
who on SOIlle great day of festivity scattered
silver and gold among the people, who sent
valuable presents to his courtiers, but me-
thinks when a soul comes back God is so
glad that to express his joy he flings out
new worlds into space, kindles up new
suns and rolls among the white robed
anthems of the redeemed a greater halle-
luiah, while with a voice that reverberates
among the mountains of frankincense and
Is echoed back trona the. everlasting gates
he cries, "This, my son, was dead and is
alive again!"
At the opening of the exposition in New
Orleans I saw a Mexican flutist, and he
played the solo, and then afterward the
eight or ten bands of music, accomPanied
by tho great organ, °tune in. But the
sound of that one flute as compared with
all the orchestra was greater than all the
combined joy of the universe when com-
pared 'with tho resounding heart of Al-
mighty God.
For ten years a father went three times
a day to the depot. His son went off in
aggravating circumstances, but the fa-
ther said, "He • will come back." The
strain was too much, and his mind part-
ed, and three times a day the father went.
In the early morning ho watched the train
-its arrival, tho stepping out of the pas-
sengers and then the departure of the
train. At noon- he was there again watch-
ing the advance of the train, watching
the departure. At night there again,
watching the coming, watching tho going,
for ten years. He was sure his son would
come back. G-od has been watching and
waiting for some of you, my brothers, 10
years, r years, -an years, 40 years, per-
haps years, waiting, waiting, watch-
ing, watching, and if this morning the
prodigal should come home what a scene
of glndness and festivity, and how the
great Father's heart would rejoice at your
coming home! You will come, some of
.you, will you not? You will! You will,
God's Ministers Rejoice.
I notice also that when a prodigal comes
home there is the joy of the minis/et:a of
religion. Oh, It is a grand thing to pr6cli
this gospel! I knowthere has been a great
deal said about the trials and the hardships
of the Christian ministry:, I wish some-
body would write a good, rousing book
about the joys of the Christian' ministry.
Since I entered the profession I have seen
more of the goodness of God than I will
be able to celebrate in all eternity. I know
some boast about their equilibrium, and
they do not rise into enthusiasm, and they
do not break down with emotion. But I
confess to you plainly that when I see a
mare coming to God and giving up his sin
I feel in body, mind and soul a transport.
When I see a man who is bound hand,
and foot in evil habit emancipated, I re--
joice over it as though it were my own
. • •- • ••
emancipation. vvnen in our communion
service such throngs of young and old
stood up at the altars, and in the presence
of heaven and earth and hell attested their
allegiance to Jesus Christ, I felt a joy
something akin to that which the apostle
describes when he says: "Whether in the
body I cannot tell, or out of the body
cannot tell. God knoweth."
Have not ministers a right to rejoice
when a prodigal comes home? They blow
the trumpet, and ought they not to be glad
of the gathering of the host? They pointed
to the full supply, and ought they not to
rejoice when souls pant as the hart for
the water brooks? They came forth, say-
ing, "All things are now ready." Ought
they not to rejoice when the prodigal site
down at the banquet?
Value of a Calm Mind.
Life insurance men will all tell you that
ministers of religion, as a class, live lon-
ger than any other. It is confirmed by the
statistics of all those who calculate upon
human longevity. Why is it? There is
more draft upon the nervous system than
in any other profession, and their toil is
most exhausting. I have seen ministers
kept on miserable stipends by parsimoni-
ous congregations, who wondered at the
dullness of the sermons, when the men of
God wore perplexed ahnost to death by
questions of livelihood and had not enough
nutritious food to keep any fire in their
temperament. No fuel, no fire. I have
sometimes seen the inside of the lifo of
many of the American clergymen -never
accepting their hospitelitya-because they
cannot afford it -but- I have seen them
struggle on with salaries of $500 and $600
9, year, tho average less than that, their
struggle well depicted by -the western mis-
sionary who says in a letter: "Thank you
for your last remittance. Until it came we
had not any meat in our house for one
year, and all last winter, although it was
a Revere winter, our children wore their
summer clothes."
And these men of God I find in different
parts of the land struggling against an-
noyances and exasperations innumerable,
some of -thorn week after week entertain-
ing agents who have maps to sell and sub-
mitting theniselves to all styles of annoy-.
ance, and yet without complaint and
cheerful of soul. How do you account for
the fact thnt these life insurance men tell
us that ministers as a class live longer than
any others? It is because of the joy of their
work, tho joy of the harveat field, the joy of
greeting prodigals home to their Father's
house.
Rejoice In All Innocence.
We are in sympathy with all innocent
hilarities. Wo can enjoy a hearty song,
and we can be merry with the merriest,
bnt those of us who have toiled in tho
service aro ready to testify that all these
joys aro tame compared with the satisfac-
tion of seeing men enter tho kingdom of
God. The great eras of every minister are
the outpourings of the Holy Ghost, and I
thank God I have seen 20 of them. Thank
God, thank God!
I notice also when the prodigal comes
back all earnest Christians rejoice. If you
stood on a promontory, and there was a
hurricane at sea; and it was blowing to-
ward the -shore, aud a vessel crashed into
the rocks, and you saw people get ashore
in the lifeboats, and the very last man
got on the rocks in safety, you could not
control your joy. And it is a glad time
when the church of God spes men who are
tossed on the ocean of their sins plant
their feet in the rock Christ Jesus.
No Long Prayers Needed.
When prodigals C01110 home, just hoar
those Christians sing! It is not a dull
tone you hear at such times. Just hear
those Christians pray! It is not a stereo-
typed supplication we have heard over and
over again for 20 years, but a putting of
the case in the hands of God with an im-
portunate pleading. Mon never pray at
great length unless they have nothing to
say, and their hearts are hard and cold.
All the prayers in the Bible that were an-
swered wore short prayers: "God, be mer-
ciful to me, a sinner;" "Lord, that I may
receive my sight;" "Lord, save me, or I
perish." The longest prayer, Solomon's
prayer at the dedication of the temple
less than eight minutes in length, accord-
ing to the ordinary rate of enunciation:
And just hear them pray now that the
prodigals are coming home! Just see them
shake hands! No putting forth of the
four tips of the fingers in a formal way,
but a hearty grasp, where the muscles of
the heart seem to clinch the fingers of one
hand around the other hand. And then
see those Christian faces, how illumined
they are! And see that old man get up
and with the same vole° that he sang 50
years ago in the old country meeting
house say, "Now, Lord, lettest thou thy
servant depart in peace, for mine eyes
have seen thy salvation." There was a
man of Keith who was hurled into prison
in time of persecution, and one day he got
off his shackles, and he came and stood by
the prison door, and when the jailer was
opening the door with one stroke he struck
down the roan who had incarcerated him.
Passing along the streets of London, he
wondered whore his family was. 'He did
not dare to ask lest he excite suspicien;
but, passing along a little way from the
prison, ho saw a Keith tankard, a cup that
belonged to the faintly from generation to
generation -he saw it in a window. His
family, hoping that seine day he would
get clear, came and lived as near as they
could to the prison house, and they set
that Keith tankard in the window, hoping
he would see it. And he came along and
saw it and knocked at the door rued went
in, and tho long absent family were all to-
gether again. Oh, if you would start for
the kingdom of God today, I think some
of you would find nearly all your friends
and nearly all your families around the
holy tankard of the holy communion -fa-
thers, mothers, brothers, sisters around
that sacred tankard which commemorates
the love of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Oh, it
will be a great communion day when your
whole family sits around the sacred tank-
ard. One on e-arth, ono in heaven.
The Heavenly Festival,
Once more I remark that when the
prodigal gets back the inhabitants of
heaven keep festival. I am very certain of
