Text: Or ministry, let us wait on ou»
ministering ; or he that teavheth, on teach
ing: or he that exhorteth, oh exhortation .*
—Homans, xii., 7-S.
Before the world is converted the style of
religious discourse will have to be converted.
You might as well go into the modern Sedan
or Gettysburg with bows and arrows instead
of rides and bombshells and sparks of artil
lery, as to expect to conquer this world for
God by the old styles of exhortation anti ser
tnonolgy. Jonathan Edwards preached the
sermons most adapted to the age in which he
lived, but if those sermons were preached now
they would divide an audience into two
clas'ses, those sound asleep and those? wanting
to go home.
tint there is a religious discourse of the
future—who will preach it I have no idea; in
what part of the earth it will l>e bora I have
no idea; in which denominations of Christians
it will be delivered 1 cannot guess. That
discourse or exhortation may be born in the
country meeting-house on the banks of the
St. Lawrence, or the Oregon, or the Ohio, or
the Tombighee, or the Alabama. The jier
son who shall deliver it may this moment lie
in a cradle under the shadow of the {Sierra
Novadas, or in a New England farm-house,
or amid the rice-fields of Southern Savannas.
Or this moment there may tie some young man
in some of our theological seminaries, in the
junior or middle or senior class, shaping that
weapon of power. Or there may Ik; coming
some new baptism of the Holy Ghost on the
churches, so that some of us who now stand
in the watch-towers of Zion, waking to a
realization of our present inefficiency, may
preach it ourselves. That coming discourse
may uofc be fifty years off. And let us pray
God that its arri val may be hastened, while !
Gunouncoto you what I think will lx; the
chief characteristics of that discourse or ex
hortation when it does arrive, and 1 want to
make the remarks of the morning appropri
ate and suggestive to all classes of Christian
workers
First of all I remark, that that future re
ligious discourse will lx; full of a living
Christ in contradistinction to didactic techni
calities. A discourse maybe full of Christ
though hardly mentioning His name, and a
sermpn may bo empty of Christ while every
sentence is repit itious of 11 is titles. The
world wants a living Christ, not a Christ
standing at the head of a formal system of
theology, but a Christ who means pardon and
sympaiiiy, and condolence, and brotherhood,
and life, and heaven. A poor man’s Christ.
A rich man's Christ. An overworked man's
Christ. Ail invalid's Christ. A farmer's
Christ. A merchant's Christ. An artisan's
Christ. An every man's Christ.
A symmetrical and fine-worded system of
theology is well enough for theological
classes, but it has no more business in a pul
pit: than have the technical phrases of an
anatomist or a jwychologistor a physician in
the sick room ol a patient. The world wants
help, immediate and world uplifting, and it
will come through a discourse in which
Christ shall walk right down into the immor
tal soul and take everlasting jHissession of it,
filling it as full of light as is this noonday
firmament.
That sermon or exhortation of the future
will not deal with man in the thread
bare illustrations of Jesus Christ In that
coming address there will Ik* instances of
vicarious suffering taken right out of every
day life, for there is not a day somebody is
not dying for others. As the physician sav
ing his diphtheritic patient by sacrificing his
own life; as the slnp captain going down
with his vessel while he is getting his pas-,
sengers into the life-boat; as the fire
man consuming in the burning building
while he is taking a child out
of a fourth-story window; as in summer
the strong swimmer at East ibuupton, or
Long Bra nr*or Cape May, or Luke George,
himself perished trying to rescue the drown
ing: as the newspaper boy one summer, sup
porting his mother for sonic years, his invalid
mother, when offered by a gentleman fifty
cents to get some especial paper, and begot
it, and rushed up in his anxiety to deliver it,
and was crushed under the wheels of tin
train. and lay on the grass with only strength
enough to say: ‘ Oh, what w ill become of my
poor sick mother now?”
Vicarious suffering. The world is full of it.
An engineer said to me on a locomotive; in
Dakota : “We men seem to lx; coming to
better appreciation than wo used to. Did
you see that account the other day of an
engineer who, to save his passengers, stuck to
his place, and when he was found d<*a I in the
locomotive, which was upside down, lie was
found still smiling, his hand on the air--brake? 1
And as the engineer said it to me, he put his
hand on the air-brake to illustrate his mean
ing, and I looked at him and thought: “You
would be just as much of a hero in the same
crisis.”
Oh, in that religious discourse of the future
there will be living illustrations t aken out
from every-da v life of vicarious suffering—
illustrations that will bring to mind ihe
ghastlier sacrifice of Him who in the high
places of the field, on the cross, fought our
battles, and wept our griefs, and endured our
struggle, and died our death.
A German sculptor made an imago of
Christ, and he asked his little child two years
old who it was, and she said: “That must tx*
some great man.” The sculptor was dis
pleased with the criticism, so he got
another block of marble, and chiseled
away on it two fir three years, and t hen he
brought in his little child four or five years of
age. und he said to her: ‘ Who do you think
that is?" she said: “That must lie tin < >».* who
took little children in his arm;.rid 1 ! •-<-d
them." Then the sculptor was satisfied. Oil.
my friends, what the world wants is not a
cold Christ, nor. an inUdlect'ial Christ, not a
severely magisterid Christ, but n loving
Christ, spreading out His arms of sympathy
to press the whole world to Mis hiving heart.
But, J remark again, that the religious dis
course of the future will t*o short. Condensa
tion is demanded by the age in which w,* Jive.
No more ne**d of long introductions and long
applications, and so many divisions to u dis
count that it may be said to I»* hydra headed.
In other days men got all their informat ion
from the pulpit. There were; few books and
there were no newspapers, and there was litr
tie travel from place to place, and people
would sit and listen two and a half
hours to a religious discourse, and
Wonteenthly” would find them fresh
and chipper. In those days there was
enough time for a man to take an hour to
warm himself up to the subject nil I an hour
to cool off. But what was a ner.-ssitv thru
is a superfluity now. < ongn-a! ions are full
of knowledge from books, from newspap rs
from rapid and continuous intcrromniunirn’
tion, and long din piisitions of what they
know already will not Is* abided If a rclig
lou.', teacher cannot com pres« what he wishes
to snv to the people m the pa ; ..f forty live
ninintes, better adjourn it lo Mini other day
The trouble is we preach nndien.vH into a
Christian frame, and then iv«* pr-ach them
out of it. VV .* forget that eve rv auditor has
m much rapacity of attention, and when that
is exhausted he is resile*. That accident «*

course we want locomotive imwcr and pro

isters against prolixity. Eu’ /< has was
wrong in bis somnolence, but I’uui made a
mistake when he k»pt on until midnight He'
ought to have stopped at eleven o’clock, and
there would have been no accident. If Paul
might have gone on to too great length, let
nil those of us who are now preaching the
Gospel remember that there is a limit to re
ligious discourse, or ought to be, and that in
our time we have no apostolic power of
miracles.
Napoleon in An address of seven minutes
thrilled his army.and thrilled Europe. Christ’s
Becmon on the Mount,tho model sermon, was
less than eighteen minutes long at ordinary
mode of delivery. It is not electricity scat
tered all over the sky that strikes, blit elec
tricity gathered into a thunderbolt and hurled,
and it is not religious truth scattered over,
spread out over a vast reach of tune, but re
ligious truth projected in compact form that
Hashes light upon the soul and rives its indif
ference.
When the religious discourse of the future
arrives in this land and in the Christian
church, the discourso which is to arouse the
world and startle the nations, and usher in
tho kingdom, it will be a brief discourse.
Hear it all theological students, all ye just
entering upon religious work, all ye men and
women who in Sabbath-schools and other de
partments are toiling for Christ and the sal
vation of immortals: Brevity! Brevity!
But 1 remark also that tho religious dis
course of the future of which I speak will be
a popular discourse. There are those in these
times who speak of a popular sermon as
though there must be something wrong about
it. As these critics are dull themselves the
world gets the impression that a sermon is
good in proportion as it is stupid. Christ
was the most popular preacher the world
ever saw, and considering the small number
of the world’s population, had the largest
audience ever gathered. He never preached
anywhere without making a great sensation.
People rushed out in the wilderness to hear
him, reckless of their physical necessities. So
great was their anxiety to hear Christ that,
taking no food with them, they would have
fainted ami starved had not Christ performed
a miracle and fed them.
Why did so many people fake the truth at
Christ's hands? Because they all understood
it. He illustrated his subject by a hen and
her chickens, by a bushel measure, by n hand
ful of salt, by a bird's flight and by a lily's
aroma. All the people knew what lie meant
and they flocked to Him. And when the re
ligious discourse of the future appears, it will
not be Princetonian, not Rochesterian, not
Andoverian, not Middletoninn, but Olivetic—
plain, practical, unique, earnest—compre
hensive of all the woes, wants, sins, sorrows
and necessities of an auditory.
But when that exhortation or discourse
does come there will he a thousand gleaming
scimetars to charge on it. There are in so
many theological seminaries professors tell
ing young men how to preach, themselves
hot knowing how; and I am told that if a
young man in some of our theological semi
naries says anything quaint or thrilling or
uni* iuo, faculty and students fly at him and
set him right, and straighten him out, and
smooth him down, ami chop him off, until ho
says everything just ns everybody else says it.
< )h, when the future religious discourse of
the Christian church arrives, all the churches
of Christ in our great cities will be thronged.
Tlu; world wants spiritual help. All who
have buried their dead want comfort. All
know themselves to lie mortal and to be im
mortal and they want to hear about the groat
future. I tell you, rny friends, if the people
of our great cities who have had trouble only
thought they could tret practical and sym
pathetic help in the Christian church, there
would not be a street in New York, or
Brooklyn, or Chicago, orX’hnrleston, or Phil
adelphia. fir Boston which would be passable
on the Sabbath day if their were a church on
't ; for nil tho people would press to that
asylum of mercy, that great house of comfort
and consolation.
A mother with a dead bal»e in her arms
came to the god Veda, and asked to have her
eliild restored to life. The gfid Veda said to
her: “You go and get a handful of mustard
from a house in which there has been no
sorrow, and in which there has been no
fleath, ami I will restore your child to life.”
Bo the mother went out, and she went from
house to house, and from home to home, look
ing for a place where there had been no
sorrow and where there had been no death,
but she found none. She went back to
tho g<xl Veda and said: “My mission is a
failure; you see I haven't brought the
mustard seed; I can't find a place where
there has lx*en no sorrow ami no fleath.”
“Oh,” says the god Veda, “understand your
sorrows are no worse than the sorrows of
others; we all have our griefs, and all have
our heart-breaks.”
Laugh mid the world laii'dis with yon,
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow Its mirth.
But bis trouble enough of ite own.
We hear a great deal of discussion now all*
over the land abolit why people do not go to
church. Borne say it is "because Christianity
is dying out, and liecause people do not be
lieve in the truth of God's wont, and all that.
They are false reasons. The reason is because
our sermons and exhortations are not inter
esting, and practical, and helpful. Borne one
might ns well tell the whole truth on this sub
ject, and so I will tell it. The religions dis
course of the future, the Gospel sermon to
come forth and shake the nations and lift
people out of darkness, will boa popular ser
mon, just for the simple reason that it will
meet the woes and the wants and the anxie
ties of the people.
I There are in ail our denominations ecclesi-
I astical mummies sitting around to frown
upon the fresh young pulpits of America, to
try toawe them down, to cry out: Tut! tut!
tut! Be.nsational!" They stand to-day preach
ing in churches that hold a thousand people,
and there are a hundred persons present, and
if they cannot have the world saved in their
way it s< ems as if they do not want it saved
at all.
1 do not know but the old way of making
ministers of the Gospel is better—a collegiate
education and an apprenticeship under the
care and home attention of some earnest,
aged Christian minister, the young man
getting the iiatriarch's spirit and assisting
him in his religious service. Young lawyers
study with old lawyers, young physicians
with old physicians, and I believe it wonld lie
a great help if every young man studying
for the Gospel ministry could put himself in
the home, and heart, ami sympathy, and
under the benediction and perpetual presence
of a < 'hristian minister.
But I remark again, the religious discourse
of the future will lx* an awakening sermon.
From alter rail to the front door step under
that sermon an audience will j*et up and start
for heaven. There will be in it many a stac
cato passage. It will not be a lullaby; it
will be a battle charge. Men will drop their
sins, for they will feel the hot breath of pur
suing retribution on tho hack of their necks.
It will lie sympathetic with all tho physical
distress**s as well as the spiritual distresses of
the world. Christ not only preached but He
Imakd paralysis, and He healed epileysy, and
He healed the dumb and the blind and ten
lejiers.
That religious discourse of the future will
he an everyday sermon, going right dqwn
into every man's life, ami it will teach him
bow b» vote, how to bargain, how to plough,
how to do any work In* is CAllod to, how to
wield trowel and pen and pencil and yard
stick and plane. Ami it will teach women
how to preside over their households, and
how to educate their children, and how to
imitate Miriam and Esther and Vashti and
Eunice, the mother of Timothy, and Mary,
the mother of Christ: and those women who
on Northern and Southern battlefields, were
mistaken by th<* wounded for angels of mercy
fresh from the throne of God.
Yew, I have to tell you the religious dis
course of the future will Ik* ii reported ser
mon. If you have an idea that printing was
invented simply to print H'x-ular books, an !
stenography and phonography were e;on
trlved merely to set forth aximr ideas, you
are mistaken. The printing prill is to be the
great agency of Gospel proclamation. It is
nigh t ime that goo I men instead of denounc
ing the press, employ it to scatter forth the
Go*pel of Jesus Christ. Tho vast majority
of |ieople in our cities do not come to church,
and nothing but the printed sermon can
reach them and call them to |»ardon, and
life, and peace, ami heaven.
Ko I cannot understand the nervousness of
some of my brethren of the ministry. When
they see a newspaper man coming in they
say; “Alas, there is a reporter.” Every
| added reporter is ten thousand, fifty thou
i sand, a hundred thousand immortal souls
added to the auditory. The time will come
when all the village,town and city newspapers
will reproduce the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and
sermons preached on the Sabbath will rever
berate all around the world, and, some by
type and some by voice, all nations will be
evangelized.
Tho practical bearing of this is upon those
who are engaged in Christian work, not only
upon theological students and young minis
ters, but upon nil who preach tho Gospel, and
all who exhort in meeting, and that is all of
you if you are doing your duty. Do you ex
hort in prayer meeting? Bo short and Ik*
spirited. Do you teach in Bible class?
Though you have to study every night he in
teresting. Do you accost people on the sub
ject of religion in their homes or in public
places? Btudy adroitness and use common
sense. The most graceful and most beautiful
thing on earth is the religion of Jesus Christ,
and if you awkwardly present it, it is defa
mation. We must do our work rapidly, and
we must do it effectively. Boca our time for
work will be gone.
A dying Christian took out his watch am/
gave it to a friend and said: “Take that
watch, 1 have no more use for it; time is
ended for me and eternity begins.” Oh, rny
friends, when our watch lias ticked away for
us the last moment, and our clock has struck
for us the last hour, may it be found we did
our work well, that we did it in the very best
way, and whether we preached the Gospel in
pulpits or taught Bahbath classes, or ad
ministered. to the sick as physicians, or
bargained as merchants, or plead tho
law as attorneys or were busy or
artisans, or as husbandmen, or as median
les, or were like Martha called to give a meal
to a hungry Christ, or like Hannah to make a
?oat for a prophet, or like Deborah to rouse
the courage of some timid Barak in the Lord's
conflict, we did our work in such away that
it will stand the test of the Judgment. And
in the long procession of the redeemed that
march around the throne, may it be found
there are many there brought to God through
Dur instrumentality and in whose rescue we
ire exultant.
But, O ye unsaved, wait not for that re
ligious discourse of the future. It may come
liter your obsequies. It may come after the
itone-cutter has chiseled yoUr name on the
slab, fifty years before. Do not wait for a
fjreat steamer of tho Cunard or White Star
irte to take you off the wreck, but hail the
first craft, with however low a mast and
however small a hulk, and however poor a
rudder, oild however weak a captain. Bd ter
t disabled schooner that comes up in time
lhan A fuil-rigged brig that comes up after
you have sunken.
Instead of waiting for that religious dis
course of the future—it may be forty, fifty
years off—take this plain invitation of a man
who, to have given you spiritual eyesight,
would be glad to bo called the spittle by tho
hand of Christ put on the eyes of a blind
man, and who would consider the highest
compliment of this service, if at the close five
hundred men should start from these doors,
laying: “Whether he lie a sinner or no, I
know not. This one thing I know, whereas
( was blind now I see.”
Swifter than shadows over the plain,
quicker than birds in their autumnal flight,
hastier than eagles to their prey, hie you to
a sympathetic Christ. The orchestras ol
heaven*have already strung their instruments
lo celebrate your rescue.
“And many were the voices around the throne:
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own."
Sparrows For Food.
Sparrows arc being properly appre
ciated. Hundreds of them arc now caught
by enterprising people for sale to certain
restaurants where reed birds are in de
mand. A German woman on Third
avenue has three traps set every day, and
she catches probably seventy-live a week.
They are cooked and sf.vcd to her
boarders the same as reed birds and are
declared quite as great a delicacy. This
German woman bastes them, leaving the
little wooden skewer in 4 lie bird when
served. They arc cooked with a bit of
bacon. She tempts them with oats, and
after the catch they are fed a while with
boiled oaten meal. She sprinkles oaten
meal in the back yard also, and thereby
fattens the. free birds. The females are
the choice meat. The males can be told
by the circle of white feathers at the
neck. The females are as plain as Quak
eresses. So soon as it becomes generally
known that the sparrow is a table bird
their number will rapidly grow less.
People don’t like to experiment, but
when it is discovered that the sparrow
lias ljeen declared good by those upon
whom they have been tried no boarding
house meal will be deemed in good form
unless a dish of fat sparrows adorns it.
Sparrow pie is a delicacy tit to set before
a King. —Nno York Times.
The Heart After Decapitation. "
Dr. Charcot, the famous hvpnotizcr,
has recently had a chance of examining
immediately after decapitation one of
the four per cent, of French murderers
who get executed. Thanks to the as
sistance of the police, his examination
commenced two seconds after the knife
of the guillotine had fallen; and the
head even then had ceased to give any
signs of life, though muscular movement
continued in the neighborhood of the
jaw until the sixth second. But the
beating of the heart, caused by the in
flux of blood, actually continued for
sixty minutes. The conclusion finally
arrived at was that the death of the
guillotined man hail not been caused by
asphyxia. The violent irritation of the
nerves of the neck, it was decided, bad
reacted upon the heart and death fol
lowed the shock.— London Figaro
How to Stop Coughing.
In a lecture once delivered by the cele
brated Dr. Brown-Bcquard he gave the fol
lowing directions which may prove ser
viceable to persons troubled with a nervous
cough: “Coughing can be stopped by
pressing on the nerves of the lips in the
neighborhood of the nose. A pressure
there may prevent a cough when it is
beginning. Sneezing may be stopped by
the same mechanism. Pressing also in
the neighborhood of the ear may stop
coughing. Pressing very hard on the
top of the mouth inside is also a means
of stooping coughing. And I may say
the will has immense power, too. There
was a Frcncn surgeon who used to say,
whenever he entered the wards of the
hospital; ‘The first patient who coughs
will be deprived of food to-day.’ It was
exceedingly rare that a patient coughed
then.”
