A. ARM RELIGION. REV DR. TALMAGE iNViTEB THE WORLD TO A BANQUET. lie Takes as a Text, "Bring Hither the Ratted Calf," and PrOanhen an Inspiring Sermon o"", the Joy of a Saved Soul -A Grand Paroration. Washington, March 7. -The gladnessei of religion are set forth. by Dr. a?almage in his sermon under the figure of a ban- queta and all the world is invited to be guests. The text is Luke xv, 23, "Bring hither the fatted calf and kill it." In all ages of the world it has been oustomaiy to celebrate jeyfuL events by clamatlon of peed°, the inauguration 1, presidents, the coronation of kinga, th Christmas the marriage. However much on other days of the year our table mar have a stinted supply, on Thankegivin,g day there must be something bounteoue. And all the comfortable homes of Chris- tendom have at some time celebrated joye ful events by banquet and festivity. Something has happened on the old hoinestead greater than anything that has ever happened before. A favorite son whom the world supposed would become. a vagabond and* outlaw forever has got tired of sightseeing_ and has returned to his father's house. The world said be never would come back: The old Man always said his son. would come back. He had been looking for him day after dag and. year after year. He knew he would come back. Now, having returned to his father's house, the father proclaims celebration. "There is in the paddock a calf that has been kept up and fed to ut- most capacity, so as to be ready for some oceasion of joy that might come along. Ala thero never would be a grander day on the old homestead than this day. Let the butchers do their work and the honse- keepers bring in to the table the smok- ing 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 ina and an extra supply is sent out to the table of the ser- vants. The father presides at the table *and says grace and thanks God that his long absent boy is home again. .0h, how they missed him! How glad they are to ' have him back! One brother stands pouting at the back door and says: "This is a great ado about nothing. This bad boy should have been chastised 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 receptions but a shadow of sorrow flitting across bis brow at the remembrance of the trouble he had seen. All ready now, Let 'the covers lift. Music. He was dead, and he is alive again. He was lost, and he is found. By such bold imagery does the Bible set forth the merrymaking when a soul comes hom,e to God. The Joy of a Convert. First Of all, there is the new convert's joya It is no, Mane thing to become a Christian. The most tremendous moment' in a man's life is when he surrenders himself to God. The grandest time on the father's hothestead is when the boy comes back. Among the great throng who in the parlors of our church pro- fessed Christ one night was young man who next morning rang my , aoor- bell I and said: "-Sir, I cannot contain myself with the joy I feel. I came here this morning to express it. I have found more joy in five minutes in serving God than in all the years of my prodigality, and I came here to say so." You have seen perhaps a man running for his teraporal liberty and the officars of the law after.; him, and you saw him escape, or afterward you hear the judge had par- doned him, and how' great was the glee of that rescued man, but it is a very -tame 'thing, 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 to his ears and ran, crying, "Life, 'life, eternal life!" A poor car driver some time ago, after years having had to struggle to support his familea suddenly was informed that a large inheritance was hie, and there was a joy amounting to bewilderment, but that is a small thing compared with the experieece of one when`he has put in his haotis the title -deed to the joys, the raptures, the splendors of heaven, and he can truly say, "Its mansions are mini3; its temples are 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 a jubilee. You know the Bible never com- pares it to a funeral, but always com- pares it to something delighttul. It is more apt to be compared to a banquet than anything else. It is compared in the Bible to water -bright, flashing water, to the morning -roseate, fireworked, mountain transfigured morning. I wish I could to -day take all the Bible expressions about pardon and neace and. life and comfort and hope and hea- ven and twist them into one garland and put it on the brow of the humblest child of God in this assemblage arid cry, "Wear, it, wear it now, wear it forever son of -_God, daughter of the Lord God Almighty!" Oh, the joy of the new con- vert! Oh, the gladness of the Christian service! You have seen sometimes a man in a religious assembly get up and give his experience. Well, Paul gave his ex- perienee. He arose in the presence of two churches -the church on earth and the church in heaven-ana he said, "Now, this is ney experience, sorrowful, yet alwaye rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; baying nothing, yet possessing all thinge." If the people in this house knew the joys of the Christian eeligion, they woula all pass over into the king- dom of God the next moment. When Daniel Sandeman was 'dying of cholera, his attendant said, "Have you inn& pain?" "Oh," he replied, "since / found the Lord I have never had any pain ex- cept sin." Then they said to "Would you like to send a message to your friends?" -"Yes, I would. Tell them that only lad uight the love of Jesus came rushiegolato my sottl like the surges of the sea, and I had to cry out: 'Stop, Lord, it is enonghe stop, Lard, enough!' " Oh, the jejs of this Chris- tian religion! Jima pass over from tkose tense joys of this world, intoothe raptures., of the gospel. The world cannot eatisfy You; you have found that out. Alexan- der, Pongitig for other worlds to conquer, and yet drowned in Ws own bottle; By- ron whipped by disquietude* around the world; Voltaire Parsing his own sad while all the etreite of With; ware ap- plauding him Henry, It oontruming with. batred, against poor Thomas Becket -- all illustrations ol the faot that this world cannot make a man happy. The very rnan who pois,Oned the • pommel 'of the Saddle on whioh Queen Elizabeth rode shouted . in the street, "God save the queen!" One moment the world ap- plauds, and the next Moment the world anathematizes. Oh, come over into this greater joy, this sublime solace, this magnificent beatitude! The night after tile battle Qf SlajlQb. an_d there were • snoussinus or wcauttect on the DOM ana the arebulanoes had. not cam% OW Okriti tan soldier lying there ardying tender the began to eing- There is a land of pure And when he came to the next line there Were scores of voices singing:- -Where saints immortal reign. The song was caught up :all through the 'fields among the wounded until it was said there were at feast I0,000 wounded men uniting their voices as they came to the verse:- E . There everlasting -spring aleides And never withering 'loafers. 'Tis but a narrow stream di -Vides This heavenlyi land. atom- oues. _ Ohe it is a great religion to live by and a great religion to die hy! There le only one heart throb . between you. and that aeligion.' Just look tato the face of your -pardoning God and surifender your- self for time and for eternitge and alleiee yourg. Some of you, like the. young niati of the text, have gone far astray. know not the hietory, but you knotv it. When a young m -an went . forth into life, the legend pays, his guardian angel went forth with him and getting _him into a field, the guardian angel swept a eirole around where the young matt stood. It was' a circle 'of virtue -anti honor, and he must not -gam beyond that circle. • Armed :foes came down, but were obliged te halt at the circle. They could not pass.- But one day a temptress with diamended hand, stretched forth' and crossed that oircle,with the hand, and the tempted soul took it, ana by that one fell grip was brought beyond the dircle and died. - Some of you have stepped beyond that circle. Would yea not like this. day, by the grace of God, 'to step beak? This, '1 say to you, is your hour of salvation. There was in the closing hours of Queen Anne what le ealled the clockscene. Flat doetn on the pillow in helplees sickness, she could not move berehead or move her hand. She woe waiting for the hour when the ministers of state should .gather in angry contest and, worried and wornout by the coming hour and in momentary absence of the nurse, in the :power -the strange power which delirium sometimes gives wee -she arose and. shad in front of the clock, and stood there. watching the clock when the nurse returned. The nurse 'said, "Do you see anything pecu- liar about that clock?" She made no an- swer, but soon died. There is a clock scene is every history. If some of you would rise from the bed of lethargy.and come' out from your delirium of sin and -look on the clock* 'of your *destiny this moment, you would eee and hear some - 3 thing you have not see or' -heard before, and every tick of the minute, and every stroke- of the hour, and every swing of. the pendulum would say, "Now, now, now, now!" Ohe come home to your Father's house! Come home, 0 prodigal, from the wilderness! Come home, come But I aotice that when the prodigal came there was the tether's joy. He did not greet him with any formal "How do you' de?" He did not come out and say! "Ymi are unfit to' enter. Go and wash in -the trough by •the well, and then you can come in.. We have had enough trouble with you." Ah, no! When -the proprietor. of that eitate proclaimed' festival, it was an outburst of a fatherai love -and a fa- ther's joy. God is your Fathen I have not much sympathy with the description of God I sometimes 'hear, as though her were a Turkish sultan, herd and unsym- pathetic and listening not to the cry of his subjects. A man told me he saw in one of the eastern lands a king riding along, and two nien were in altercation, and one charged the other with having eaten his rice, and tbe king saki, "Then slay the Man, and by post mortean exam- ination find whether. he has eaten the ripe." And he was slain. Ah, the cruelty of a scene like that! Our God is nOt a sultan, not a despote but a Father, kind, loving, forgiving, and he makes all hea- ven ring again when a prodigal comes back. "I have no pleasure," he says, "in the death of him that dieth." All may be saved. If a man does not get to hea- ven, it is because he will not go there. No diffetence the color, no difference the antecedents no difference the surround- ings, no dfference the sia. When the white homes of Christ's .victory -are brought .out to celebrate the eternal' tritimph, you: may ride one ,of them,' and, as God is greater than all, .his joy is --greater, and when a soul comes back there is hr his heart the surging of an infinite ocean .of gladness, .and to express that gladnees it takes alig the rivers of pleasure, all the thronestof pomp and all the ages of eternity. It is a joy deeper than all dePth, and higher than all height, and wider than all width, and vaster than all irnmensity. It overtops, it undergirds, it outweighs all the united. splendoe and joy of the universe and who can tell what God's -joy is? *ion re- mernber reading the story of a king who on some great day of festivity ecattered silver and gold among the people, whO sent valuable presents to his courtiers, but methinks, when a soul conis back, god is so glad that to express his joy he flings out new 'world into space and kindles up new suns end rolls ainong the white robed anthems of the 'redeemed a greater halleluiah, while with a voice that reverberates among the mountains of frankincense and is echoed back from the everlasting gates he cries, "This iny son was dead, and he is alive again!" The Home Coming. At the opening of the exposition in New Orleans I saw a 'hlexican flutist, and he played' the solo, and then after- ward the eight or ten bands of music, accompanied by the _great organ, .5arne in, but the sound of that one flute, !Is compared with all the orchestras, was greater than all the combined joy of the universe when compared with the re- sounding heart of Almighty God. For ten years father went three times a day to the depot. His son went off' in aggravat- ing circumstances, but the father said. 'Hamill come back." The strain was too much, and his mind parted, and three times a day the father went. In the early morning he watched the train, its arri- val, the stepping out, of the passengers and thbn the departure of the train. At noon he Was there again watching the advance of the train, watching the de- parture. At night he Wag there again watching Ithe ConlinWiltoChing al(' go - Jag, ter ten years. go was slue haf son would oonie back.

Oh, have not min- isters a right to rejoice When a prodigal cameo home? • They blew the trumpet, and ought they not to be glad of the gather- ing of phe host? They pointed to the full., supply, and ought ' they not to rejoice ' when thirsty souls plunge as the heart for the water brooks? They . came forth, saying, "All things are now ready.'a ()tight they not to rejoice when .the pro& , igal sits down at the banquet?. Life insur- ance Men will all tell you that Ministers of religion as a class live longer thao any other. It is the Oat -Mica of all thoetewho caloulate upon hurhan longevity that ministers of rell on as a class live longer than any other. hy is it? There Ls more draft upon the n rVous system ' than in Meat exhausting. I have eeen ministers ous congre,gation who wondered at the dullness of the on when the' men of God were perple d ahnost to death by questions of livelihood and ' had not enough nutritiou food to keep any fire In their tempera ent. No fuel, no fire!' I have sometimes een the inside of the life of many of th American clergymen, never accepting their hospitality because they cannot affo it, but I have seen them struggle o with salaries of fire on $600 a year -the a,verage less than that -- their struggle w 11 depicted by the west- ern -missionary, who says- in a letter: Until it came w had not any meat in our house for on year, and all last win- ter, although it vas a severe winter, our children wore heir sunnner clothes." And. these men .7 God 1 find in different parts of tae lams struggling against an- noyance and exa perations innumerable, some of them w ek after week entertain- ing agents who ave maps or lightning rods to sell and ubmitting themselves to all styles of ann yance and yet without complaint and c eerful of soul. How do you a count for the • fact that these life insure ce men tell us that min- isters es a class live longer than any ether?. It is bec use of the joy of their work, the joy o the harvest field, the joy of greeting predigals home to their Fathei4e house. ' Oh, we are, in sympathy with all Mimeo t hilarities.

I notice also ben the prodigal comes back all earnes Christians rejoice.

No long prayers. ' Men never pray at at length unless they have nothing o say and their hearts are hard and cold. All the prayers in the Bible that w re answered were short prayers. - "Go be inerciful to me, a sin- ner." "Lord, that I May receive my sight." "Lora, save me, or I perish." The longest prayer, 'Solomon's prayer at rthe dedication of the temple, less than eight minutes in length, accerding to the ordinary tate of enunciation.
