Gift of Salvation Through Christ—A SUM Defenie'In Time of Trouble—The Load. atone of a God Fearing Life. NEW YORK, March 31.—Although his oratory is at all times magnetic and elo- quent, there is one theme with which, whenever he makes it the groundwork of his sermon, Dr. Talmage never fails to communicate to his auditors the enthusi- asm he himself feels. That theme is tho gospel invitation, and when, this after- noon, he took for his subject "The Gos- pel Ship" the great audience that Crowded , the Academy was in full sympathy. The text. selected was Genesis vi, 18, "Thou shalt come into the ark, thou and thy sons and thy , wife and thy sons' wives with th eeIn't'is day of the steamships Lucania and Majestic and the Paris I will Show you.a ship that in some respects eclipsed them all and which sailed out, an ocean underneath and another ocean falling up- - on It, Infidelscientists ask us to believe that in the formation of the earth there have been a half dozen deluges, and yet they are not willing to believe the Bible story of one deluge. In what way the catastrophe came we know . not—whether by the stroke of a comet, or by -flashes of lightning, chang- ing the air nto water, or by a stroke of the hand of od, like the stroke of the ax between the horns of the ox, tho earth staggered. To meet the catastrophe God ordered n great ship built. It was to be without prow, for it was to sail to -no shore. It was to be without helm, for no human hand should guide it. it was a or three modern steamers. It was the vast strirture, probably as largo as two Great Eastern of olden time. The sh p is done. The door is open. The lizar is crawl in. The cattle walk in. Tho gras hoppers hop in. The birds fly in. The invit tion goes forth to Noah, "Come thou and all thy house into the ark." Just one human family embark on the strange voyage, and I boar the door slain shut. A great storm sweeps along the hills and bends the cedars until all the branches Snap in the gale. There is a moan in the wind like unto the moan of a dying world. The blackness of tho heavens is shattered by the fla e of the lightnings that look down into thc waters and throw a ghastli- ness on th, face of tl: o mountains. Hove strange it lochs! Hew suffocating the air seems! The ebig drops of rain begin to plash upoi beupturned faces of - those who are ivatching the tempest. Crash go th.o rool4s in convulsion! • Boom go.the bursting havens! r_rheiinliabitants of the earth, inst ad of flying to housetop and. mountain tops as men have fancied, sit down In dumb, white horror to die, for when G-od grinds mountains to pieces and Jets the ocean slip its cable there is no place for men to fly to, See -the ark pitch and tumble in the surf, while from its windows the passengers'look out upon the shipwreck of a race and the carcasses of a dead world. Woe to the mountains! Woo to the sea! < -'.A. Storm Coming. I am no -alarmist. When, on the 20th of September, after the wind has for three days been blowing from the northeast, you prophosynefait the equinoctial. storin is coming, Oat simply state a fact not to be disputed. /ieither am I an alarmist when I say that 4 storm is coming compared. with which Noah's deluge was but an , April shower, and that it is.wisest and safest for yen and . for me to get safely housed forieternity. The invitation that went forth tdi . Noah sounds in our ears, "Come thou arid all thy house into the ark." 1 < Well, how did- Noah and his family come into the ark?- Did they olimb in at the window, or come down the roof? No. They went through thadoor. .And just so, if we got into the ark of God's mercy, It will be thilough Christ the dour. ,The entranceto tl e ark- of old must have been a very large jrntranco. We know that it was from the fact that there were monster animals in th , earlier ages, and in order to get them into the ark two and two, ac- cording to the Bible, statement, the door must have been very wide and very high. So the door into the ruercy of God is a large door. We go in, not two.and two, but by hundreds, and by thousands and by millions.' Yea, all the nations of the earth may go in 10,000,000 abreast. Christ the Door. ' The door of the ancient ark was in the side. So now it is through the sidd of Christ—the pierced side, the wide open side, the heart side—that we enter. Aha, the Roman soldier, thrusting his spear into the Saviour's side, expected only to let the blood out, but he opened the way to let all the world in. Oh, what abroad Gospel to preach! If a -man is about to give an entertainment, he 'issues 200 or 300 invitations carefully put up and di- rected to the particular persons whom be wishes to entertain. But God, our Father, makes a banquet, and goes- out to the front door of heaven, and stretches out his hands over land and sea, and with a - voice , that penetrates the Hindoo jungle, and the Greenland ice castle, and Brazilian grove, and English factory, and American home cries out, "Coine, for all thinguare now ready!" It is a wide door. The bld cross has been taken apart, and its two pieces are stood up for the doorposts so far apart that all the world can come in: Kings scatter treasures on days of groat rejoicing. So Christ, our King, comes and scatters the jewels of heaven. Row- land Hill said that he hoped to get into heaven through the crevices of the door. But he was not obliged thus to go in. After having preached the gospel in Surrey chapel, goSngaup toward heaven, the gatekeeper cried, "Lift up your heads, .ye everlasting gates, and let this man come in1" The dying thief vvent in. Rich- ard Baxter and Robert Newton went in. Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America may yet go though this wide door without crowding. Ho, every one— all conditions, all ranks, all people! Lu- ther said that this truth was worth carry- ing on one's knees from Rome to Jerusa- lem, but • I think it worth carrying all around the globe and all around the heav- ens—that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son; that whoso- ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Whosoev-er will, let him come through the large door. Archimedes 'wanted a fulcrum on whici to place his lever, and then he said that he could move the world. Calvary ifi the fulcrum, and the cross .of Christ is the lever, and by that power all nations shall yet be lifted. Swings Both Ways. Further, it is a door that swings both ways. I de not know whether the door of the ancient ark was lifted or relied on hinges, but this door of Christ opens both ways. It swings out toward all our woes. It swings in toward the raptures of heavs en. It swings in to lot us in. .It swings out to let our ministering onos come out: All are one in Christ—Christians on earth and saints in heaven. One army of the living God, At his command we bow. Part of the hnst have crossed the flood., 0 4`• ' APRIL 5, 1895. the victory. ctory. Bfurther, it is a door with fasten-- ings. The Bible says of Noah, "The Lord shut him in." A vessel without bulwarks or doors would not be a safe vessel to go In. When Noah and his family heard the fastening of the goer of the ark, they were very glad. Unless those doors were fasten- ed, the first heavy surge of the sea would have whelmed - them, and a they might ...3 Well have perished outside the ark as in- side the ark. "The Lord shut him in." Oh, the perfect safety of the ark! The rgurf of the sea and the lightnings of tho sky may be twisted into a garland of snow and fire—deep to deep, storm to storm, darkness to darkness—but once in the ark all is well. "God shut him in." There comes upon the good man a del- uge of financial trouble. He had his thou- sands to lend. Now he cannot borrow a dollar. He once owned a store in New York and had branch houses in Boston, Philadelphia and New Orleans. He owned four horses and employed a man to keep the dust off his coach phaeton, carriage and curricle Now he has hard work to get shoes in which to walk. Tbe great deep of conunercial disaster was broken up, and -fore r id aft and across the hurri- cane deck thei ' aves struck him. 'ct “The rd Shut Him In." , But he waS safely sheltered from the storm. "The Lord shut him in." A flood of domestic troubles fell on bhp. Sick- ness and bereavement came. The rain pelted. The winds blew. The heavens aro aflame. All the gardens of earthly de- light are washed away. The mountains of joy are buried 15 cubits deep. But standing by the empty crib, and in the deeolated nursery, and in tho doleful hall, once a -ring with inorry voices, now silent forever, ho cried: 'rho Lord gave; the Lord bath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." "The Lord shut him n in." , , . All the sins of a lifetime clamored for his overthrow. Tho broken vows, tho dis- honored Sabbaths, the outrageous profani- ties, the misdem mars of 20 years, reach- ed up their bands the door of the ark to pull him out. The oundless ocean of his sin surrounded his oul, howling like a simoom, ravipg like an ouroclydon. Blit, looking out of the window, ho saw his sins sink like lead into the depths of the sea. The dove of heaven' brought an olive branch to the ark. The wrath of the bil- low only pushed him toward Immo. "The Lord shut him in." The same door fastenings that kept Noah in keep thotroublesout. I am -glad to know that when a man reaches heaven all earthly troubles aro douo with him. Here he may have had it hard to get bread for his family. There he will never hun- ger any moro. Here he may have wept bitterly. There "the lamb' that is in the midst of the throne will load him to living fountains of water, and God will wipe away all tears from his eyes." Hero he may .have hard work to got a house, but in my Father's house are many mansions, and rent day never comes. Here there aro deathbeds and collies and graves. There DO SiCklICSS, no weary watching, no chok- ing cough, no consuming fever, no chat- tering chill, no tolling boll. no grave. The sorrows of life shall come and knock- at the. door, hut DO admittance. The perplex- ities of life shall come up and knock on the door, but no admittance. , Safe forev- er! All tho agony of earth in one wave dashing against the bulwarks of tho ship of celestial light shall not break them down. Howl on, ye winds, and rage, ye seas! Tho Lord—" the Lerd shut him in." Fastenings Secure. Oh, what a grand old door! So wide, so easily swung both ways and with such sure fastenings. No burglar's key can pick that look. No swarthy arm' of hell can shove back that bolt. _ I rejoice that I do not ask you to come aboard a crazy craft, with leaking hulk -and broken helm .and unfastened door, but an ark 60 cubits wide, and 300 cubits long, and a door so large that the round earth without graz- ing the post might be bowled in. Now, If the ark of Christ is so grand a place in which to live and die and triumph, come into the ark. Know well that the door that gut Noah in shut others out, and thougheewhen the pitiless storm came pelt- ing on their heads, they beat upon the door, saying: "Let mo in! Let n113 in!" the door did not open, For 120 years they were invited. They expected to come in, but the antediluvians said: "We must cul- tivate these fields. We must be worth more flocks of eheop and herds of cattle. We will wait until we get a little older. We will enjoy our old farm a little lon- ger." Butmeanwhile the storm was }Awl- ing. The fountains of heaven wore filling up. The pry was being placed beneath the foundations of the great deep. The last year bad come, thalast month, the last week, the last day, the last hour, the last moment. In an awful dash an ocean dropped from the gky, and another rolled up from beneath, and God rolled the earth and sky into oho wave of universal de- struction. Outside the Ark. So men now put off going into the ark. They say they will wait 20 years first. They will have a little longer time with their worldly associates. They will wait until they got older. They say: "You can - mer expect a man of my attainments and of my position to surrender myself just now. But before the storm comes I will go in. Yes, I will. I know what I am about. Trust me." After awhile, One -night about 12 o'clock, going home, he passes a scaf- folding just as a gust of wind strikes it, end a plank falls. Dead, and outside the ark! Or, riding in the park, a reckless vehicle crashes into him, and his horse be- comes unnianageable, and he shouts: "Whoa! Wheal" and takes another twist In the rein-, and plants his feet against the dashboard, and pulls back. But no use. It is not so much down the avenue that he flies as on the way to eternity. ; Out of the wreck of the crash hie body is drawn, but his soul is not picked up. It fled behind a swifter courser into the great future. Dead, and outside the ark! Or some night ho wakes up with a distress that momentarily increases until he shrieks out with pain, The del:store come in, and they give him 20 drops, but no relief; 40 drops, 50 drops, 60 drops, but no relief. -No time for prayer. No tiine to read one of the promises. No time _to get a single sin pardoned. The whole house is aroused irr alarm. Tho children scream. The wife faints. The pulses fail. The heart stops. The soul flies. Dead, and Outside the ark! I 'mete no doubt that derision kept many people out of the ark. The world laughed to see a man go in and said: "Here is a man starting for the ark. Why, there will be no deluge. If there is one,„that mis- erable ship will not weather it. Aha, go- ing into the ark! Well, that is too good to kee,p. Here, fellows, have you heard the news? - This man is going into the ark." Under this :artillery of scorn the man's good resolu tion. perished. Fear of Derision. And so there are hundreds kept hti by the fear of derision. The young man a hs himself: '• What would they say at tho store tomorrow morning- if I should be- come a Christian? 'When 1 go down to the ,clubhouse, they will shout; 'Here comes that iiew (.•hristian. Suppose you will not have anything to do with us now. .uppose you are praying now. Get down n your knees, and let us hear you pray. Come, now, give us a touch. Will not do it, eh? Pwtty Christian you arc.' " Is it not the fear of being laughed at that keeps you' out of the kinadom of God? And part are crossing now., Swing in, 0 blessed door, until all the earth shall go in and live. Swing out un- til all the heavens come forth to celebrate „— Which of those Boomers will help you at the last? When you lie down on a dying pillow,_which of them will be there? In the day of eternity will they bail you out? My friendsand neighbors, come in right away. Come in through Christ, the wide door—the door that swingsout toward you. Come in and bo Hayed. Come and bo happy. "The Spirit and the- Bride. say, 'Come.' " Room in the ark. Room in the ark. But do not come alone. The text in- vites you to bring your family: It.says, "Thou and thy sons and thy Wife." You cannot drive them in. If Noah had tried to drive the pigeons and the doves into the ark, be would only have scattered them. Some parents aro not wise about these things. They make iron rules about Sabbaths, and they force the catechism down the throat as they would hold the child's nose and force down a dose of rhu- barb and calomel. You cannot drive your children into the ark. You ean draw your children to Christ, but you cannot coerce them The cross was lifted not to drive, but to draw. "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me:" As the sun draws up the drops of morning dew so the sun Of righteousness exhales the tears of repentance. Be sure that you bring pur husband and wife with you. How would Noah have felt If when he heard the rain pat- tering on the roof of the ark he knew that his wife was outside in the storm? No; she wont with him. .And yet some of you are on the ship "outward bound" for heaven, but your companion is unshelter- ed. You remember the day when the marriage ring was set. Nothing has yet been able to break it. Sickness came, and the finger shrank, but the ring staid on. The twain stood alone above a child's grave, and the dark mouth of the tomb swallowed'up a thousand hopes, but the ring dropped not into the open grave. Days of poverty came, and the hand did many a hard day's work, but the rubbing of the work against tho ring only inn& it shine brighter. Shall that ring ever be lost? Will the iron clang of the sepulchre gate crush it forever? I pray God that you who have been married on earth may be together in heaven. Oh, by the quiet bliss of your earthly home, by the babe's cradle, by all the vows of that day when you started life together, I beg you to see to it that you both got into tho ark. Bring Your Loved Ones. - Como in and bring your wife or your husband with you—not by fretting about religion or dingdonging them about re- ligion, but by a consistent life and by a compelling prayer that shall bring the throne of God down into your room. Go home, and take up the Bible, and read it together, and then kneel down and com- mend your souls to him who has watched you all these years, andoabefore you rise there will be a flutteri4 of wings over your head, angel cryingto angel, "Be - ha', they pray!" But this does not inclade all your fam- ily. Bring the children too. God bless the dear children! What would our homes he without them? We may have done much for them. They have done more.for us. What a salve for a wounded heart there is in the soft palm of a child's hand! Did harp or fluto over have such niusic as there is in a child's "good night?" From our coarse, rough life the angels of God aro often driven back. But who COIDOS into the hursery without feeling that angels' are ho-vering around? They who die in infancy go straight into glory, but you are expecting your children to grow up in this world. Is it not a ques- tion, then, that rings through all the cor- ridors and windings and heights and depths of your soul, what is to become of your sons and daughters for time and for eternity? "Oh," you•say, "I mean to see that they have good manners!" Very well. ''I mean to dress _them well, if I have myself to go shabby." Very good. `•I shall give them an education. I shall leave them a fortune." Very well. But is that all? Don't you mean to take them into the ark? Don't you know that the storm is coming and that out of Christ there is no safety, no pardon, no hope, no heaven? How to get them in? Go in yourself. If Noah had staid out, do you not suppose that his sons—Shem, Ham and Japheth --would have staid out? Your sons and daughters will be apt to do just as you do. Reject Christ yourself, and the probabil- ity is that your children will reject him. An account was taken of the religious condition of families in a certain district. In the families of pious parents two- thirds of the children were Christians. In the families where the parents were un- godly only one -twelfth of the children were Christians. Which way will you take your children? Out into the deluge or into the ark? Have you ever made one earnest prayer for their immortal soulEv? What will you say in the judgment when God asks: "Where is George or Henry or Frank or Mary or Anna? Where are thosepre- dons souls whose interests I committed into your hands?" How to Die. - A dying son said to his father, "Father, tou gave mean education, and good man - tiers, and everything that the world could do for no; but, father, you never told me how to die,and now iny soul is going out in the darkness." Oh, yo who have taught your children how to live, have you also taught them how to die? Life here is not so important as the great hereafter. It is not so much the.few furlongs this side of the grave as It is the unending leagues beyond. 0 eternity, eternity! Thy locks white with the ages! Thy voice announcing stupen- dous destiny! Thy arms reaching across all the past and all the future! 0 eterni- ty, eternity! Go home and erect a family altar. You may break down in your prayer. But never mind, God will take what you mean, whether you express it intelligibly or not. Bring all your house into the ark. Is there one son whom you have given up? Is he so dissipated that you have stoppodeoun- seling and praying? Give him up? How dare you give him up? Did God ever give you up? While you have a single articue :nation of speech left cease not to pray for the return of that prodigal. He may even (Continued on page 3.) aa onsumptiong The incessant wasting of a con- sumptive can only be overcome by a powerful concentrated nourish- ment like Scott's Emulsion.
