People who Are Blind to the Bright Light in the Cloads—Earthly Bereave- ments Essential to Heavenly Welcome —Glory Succeeds -Gloom. (Copyright 1898, by tAiomnrican. Associa- Washington, April 24.—This sermon of Dr. Talmage will -have a tendency to take the gloom out of many lives and stir up a spirit of healthful anticipation; text, Job xxxvii, 01, "And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds." Wind east. Barometer falling. Storm signals out. Ship reefing maintopeail. Awnings taken in. Prophecies of foul 'Weather everywhere.' The clouds congre- gate around the sun, proposing to abolish Ihm. But after' awhile he 'assails the flanks of the clouds with flying artillery of pght, and bare and there is a sign of oleo* ring weather. Many do not observe it. Many do not realize it. "And now men see not the bFight light which is in the clouds." In other words, there are 100 mon looking for storm where there .is one man looking for sunshine. My object will be to oet you and myself into the delightful habit of making the best of everything. You may have wondered at the statis- tics that in India in the year 1876 there were 19,000 people slain by wild bents, and that in the year 1876 there were in India over 20,000 people destroyed by wild animals. But there is a monster in - our own land which is year by year de- stroying more than that. It is the old bear of melancholy, and with'gospel wea- pons I propose to chase it back to its midnight caverns. I mean to do two sums—msurn in subtraction and a sum In addition—a subtraction from your days of depression and an addition to your days of icy. If God will help me, I will compel you tosee the ,bright light that there is in the clouds and compel -you to make the best of everything. - In the first place, you ought ; to make the very best of all your financial misfor- tunes. Dueing the panic a few years ago you all lost money. Some, of you lost it in most unaccountable ways. •For the question, "How rnany thousands of dol- lars shall I Put aside this.year?" you substituted the question, "How shall I pay my butcher and -baker and clothier and landlord?" You had the sensation of rowing bard with two oars and yet all the' time teeing down stream. • e You did not say much about it because It was not politic to epeark much of fin andel embarrassment, but your wife knew. Less variety of wardrobe, More 'economy at the table, selfdenial in art' and tapestry. Compression, retrenchment. Who did not feel the neceseity of it? My friend, did you make the best of this? Are yOU aware of how narrow an escape you made? Suppose you had reached the fortone toward which you were rapidly going? What then? You would have been as proud as Lucifer. What is Success? How, few men have succeeded largely in a financial sense and yet maintained their simplicity. and religious consecra- tion! Not one man out of 100. There are glorious exceptions, but the general rule is that in proportion as a man gets well off for this world he gets poorly off for the next. He loses his sense of depend- ence on God. He gets a distaste for prayer meetings. With plenty Of bank stocks and plenty of government securities, what does that man know of the prayer, "Give me this day my daily bread?" How few men largely successful in this warrid are bringing souls to Christ or showing self denial for others or are eminent for piety? You can count them tal upon your eight fingers and two thumbir. One of the old covetous souls, when he was sick and sick unto death, used to have a basin brought in, a basin filled with gold, ana his only amusement and tho only relief he got for his Inflamed hands Was runniem it up In the basin. Oh, what Infatuation Ond what destroy- ing power money has 'foe many a man! Now, you were sailing at -80 knots the -hour toward these vortices.of worldeiness —what a mercy it was, that honest defal- cation! The same divine band that crushed your storehouse, your bank, your office, your insurance company, lifted you out of destruction. The day you honestly susfeended in business made your fortune for eternity. "Oh," you say, "I could get along very well myself, but I am so disappointed that I cannot leave a competence for my children!" My brother, the same financial misfortune that is going to save your soul will save your children. With the anticipation of large fortune, how much industry would your children have, with- out which habit of industry there Isar° safety? The young man would say, "Well, there's no need of my 'working. My father will soon step out; and then I'll have just what 1 want." You cannot hide from him how much you are worth. You think you are hiding it. He knows all about it He can tell you almoft to a dollar. Perhaps he has -been to the county office and 'searched the records of deeds and mortgages, , and he has added it all' up, and he has Made an estimate of how long you will probably stay in this world, and is not as much worried about your rheumatism and shortness cf breath as you are. The only fortune worth any- thing that you can give your child is the fortune you put in his head and heart. Of all the young men who started life with $40,000 capital, how many turned out well? I do not know half a dozen. Inspiring Inheritance. The best inheritance a young man can have is the feeling that he has to fight his own battle, and that life is a struggle into which he mast throw body, nand and soul or . be disgracefully worsted. :Where aro the burial -places of the men who started life with a fortune? Some of thorn in the potter's field, some in the suicide's grave. But few of these znen reached 35 years of ago. They drank, they smoked, they gambled. In them the beast destroyed the man. Some of them lived long enough to get their fortunes and wont through them. The vast major- ity of them did, not live to get their in- heritance. From the ginshop or house of infamy they were brought home -to their father's house and In delirium began to pick off loathsome reptiles from the em- broidered pillow and to fight back imag- inary devils. And then they were laid out in highly upholstered parlor, the casket covered with .flowers by indulgent parents, flowers suggestive of a resurrec- tion with no hope: As you sat this morning at your break- fast table and looked into the faces of your children perhaps you s„tritia within yourself: "Poor things! How I wish I could start themin life With a compet- ence! Row 1 have been disappointed in all my expectations of what: 1 would do for them!" Upon that scene (if pathos I break with a paean of congratulation, that by your financial lessee your own prospects for heaven and the prospect for the heaven of your children aro mightily. - improved. You may hale lost a toy, but you have won o palace, hardlo shall they that have -riones enter into the leititiont dr OW" "It is easier for a cannel to go through II needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." What does that nieati? It means that the grandest bit - Ing God ever bestowed upon- you wax to, take your money away from you; Let me here say, in passing, do not put much stress on the treasures of this world. You cannot take them along with you. At any rate, you cannot take them more than two or three Miles: You will have to leave them at the cemetery. Attila had three coffins. So -fond was he of this life that he decreed that first he should be buried in a coffin of gold, and that then that should be inclosed in a coffin of silver, and that should e inclosed in a coffin of iron, and then la large amount of treasure should be thrown in over his hotly. And so he waS burled, and the men who buried him were slain eo that no one might know where he was burled -and no ono there intlartere with his treasures. 0 men of the World whol want to take your money with you, better, have three coffinsl Profit by Bereavements. Again, I remark you ought to make the very best of your bereavements. Ti. whole tendency is to brood over thee separations, and ,to give rauch.tinie the handling of mementos of the depart- ed, and to make long visitations .,to the cemetery, and to say: "ph, I can never look up again! My hope is gone. My courage is gone. My religion is gone. My faith in God is gone. Oh, the wear and tear and exhaustion of this ' loneliness!" The most frequent,' bereavement is -the loss of children. It your departed child bad lived as long as you have lived, do you not suppose that he would have had about the same -amount of trouble and trial that you have had? If you could make a choice for your child between 40 years of annoyance, loss, vexation, exas- peration and bereavements and, 40 years In heaven, would you take the responsi- bility of choosing the former? Would you snatch away tho oup of eternal bliss and put into that child'sbands the cup of many bereavements? Instead of the complete safety into whioh that child has been lifted, would you like to hold it down to the risks of this mortal etate? Would you like to keep it out on a sea in which there have been more Shipwrecks than safe voyages? Is it not a comfort to you to know that that child, instead of being besolled and flung into the mire of sin, is swung clear into the skies?, Are not those children to be congratulated that the point of celestial bliss which you expect to reach by a pilgrimage of 50 or 60 or 70 years they reached at a flash? If the last 7,0,000 childrep•who had entered heaven had gone through the average of hunian life on earth, are you sure all those 10,000 children would have finally reached the blissful ternrinus? Besides that, ruy friends, you ameba look at this matter as a self denial on your pelt for their benefit. If your children want to go off in a May day party, if your.- chitdren want to go on a flowery and inimical excursion, you consent. You might pre- fer to have them with you, but their ju- bilant absence satisfies you. Well; your departed childien have only gone Mit in a May day party, amid flowery and MUM - cal entertainment, amid joys and hilari- tics forever. That ought to quell Kline of your grief, the thought of *sir gleo! Glorious Welcomes. • So it ought to be that you 'could make the best of all bereavements. The feat that you have so many friends in heaven will make your own departure very cheerful. When you are going on a voy- age. everything depends -upon where Your friends are—if they are on the whatf that you leave or on tem wharf toward which you are going to sail. In other words, the more friends you have in heaven the easier it will be to get away from this world. The mom friends here the More bitter goodbyes. The amen frienOs there the more glorious weloolheS. Some of you have so many brothers, sisters; children, friends, In heaven that I do hot know hardly how you are going to crowd through. 'When the vessel came from foreign lands and brought a prince to our harbor, the ships were cofered with bunting; and you remember how the men-of-war thundered broadsides, but there was no joy there compared with the joy which shall be demonstrated when you sail up tho broad bay of heavenly salutation. The more friends you bave there tho easier your own transit. What Is death to a mother whose children are In heaven? _Why, there is no more grief • in ia than there • is in her going into a nursery amid the romp and laughter of her household. Though all around may be dark, see You not ' the bright light In:• clouds, that light the irradiated faces of your glorified kindred? So also, my friends, I would have you make the best of your sicknesses. When you see one move off with elastic step and in full physical vigor, somotirnes you be- come impatient with your lame foot. When a man describes ;an object a mile off and you cannot see it at all, you be- come impatient of your dim eye. When you bear of kwell man making a great achievement, you become impatient with your depressed nervous system or your dilapidated health. I will tell yot-ahew you -can make the wont of it. Brood over ' it—brood over all these illnesses—and your nerves will become more twitchy and your dyspepsia more aggravated; an your weakness more appalling. But that Is the 'devil's work to toll you how to :make the worst of it. It is my work to show you a bright light imthe clouds. ; Which of the Bible men most attract your attention? - You say, Moses, Job, David, Jeremiah, Paul. Why, what a strange thing it is that you 'have chosen those who were physically disordered! Moses -1 know he was nervous from the dip he gave the Egyptian. Job—his blood was vitiated and diseased and his skin distressfully eruptive. David—he had a running sore, which he speaks of when he says, "My sore ran in the night and ceased not." Jeremiah had enlarge- ment of the spleen. Who can doubt it who reads Lamentations? Paul—he had a lifetime sickness which the commenta- tors have been guessing about for years, not knowing exactly what the apostle meant by "a thorn in the flesh." I do not 'know either, but it was something sharp, something that stuck him. I gather from all this that physical dis- order may be the means _of grace to tho soul. You say you have so many tempta- tione lei= bodily ailments, and if yeti were only well you think you could be a good Christian. While your temptations may be different, they are no more than those of the man Who has an appetite three times a day and sleeps eight hours every night. No moii Pain. From inyoobservation, I judge that in- valids have a more rapturous view of the next world than well people and will have higher renown in heaven. The best view of the delectable mountains is through the lattice of the sickroom. There aro trains running every hour be- tween pillow and throne, between hospi- tal and mansion, botwoen bandages and robes, between crutch and palm branch. Oh, I wish some �f you people who aro coMpelled to cry: "My head,• my head! My foot, my foot! Al -y back, my back!" would try some of the Lord's medicine. You are going to be well anyhow before long.

There are many people who ha e an idea Oat death is the . submergence 4 everything pleasant by everything doldul. If my subject could close in the u .setting of all suoh precon- ceived notions it would dose well. Who can judge hes r of the fee:three of a niart —those who re dose by him or those who 'are afar off? "Oh," you say, "those can judge besti of the features of .a man who are close y him!" Now, my fri nds, who shall judge of the features of-death—whether they are loYely or wh,ther they are repulsive? You? You are too far oft. If I want to get a- judgment as to what really the features of de th are, I will not ask you. 1 will ask tho e who have been within a month of deat , or a week of death, or an: hour of de th, or a minute of death. They stand 810 near the features, they 'can tell. They g1'e unanimous testimony, if they areChris tan people, that death, in- stead of being demoniac is cherubic. Of all the thousa ds of Clnistiane who have beim carried through the gates , of .the eeinetery,' gat or up their dying 'experi- ences, and yo will find they. nearly 'all bordered on a jubilate. !low often you have aeon a d ng man join in the psalm being sung ar und his bedside. the mid- dle of the ver e opening to let his ran- somed spirit free, long after the lips could not $ eak looking and pointing IIIPSWoamrde.of yo talk as though God had eihausted hi self in building this world, and - that dl the rich- curtains he ever made he hu g around this planet, and allthe flower he ever grew he bast woven into the carp t of our deleted meadows.

I went to 1ew Orleans in April, and I 'narked t e difference between going to- ward NevOrleans and then' corning back. A I went on down toward New Orleans t re verdure, the foliage, became •thicker a ,d !nom beautiful. When I came lback, the; farther I came toward home he less the foliage arid less andl less it became until 'there was hardly any. Now, It all depends upon the direotion in which you travel. If a spirit from heaven should come toward our world, he is traveling croin June toward December, from ratli- ne° toward darkness, from hanging gar- ; ens towaed icebergs. And ono 'would rot be ver much. surphised if a spirit of ad- sent orth from heaven toward -our orld shonld be slow to come.
