, ; "Prodigal Son.".
A Graphic Picture of the Erring Boy's
Return. God's Great Iove.
Text: "Vheh was y el a Qreatwayoff,
his father saw him, and had compassion
on him, and ran, and fell on his neck, and
kissed him." Luke xv., 20. ,
Ons of the deepest wells that inspiration
ever opened is this well of a parable which
we cau never exhaust. The parable, I sup
pose, was founded on facts. 1 have de
scribed to you the goini away of this prodi
gal son from his fathers houso, and I have
shown you what a hard time he had down in
the wilderness, and what a very great
mistake it was for him to leave so beauti
ful a home for such a miserable desert.
But he did not always stay in the wilder
ness; he came bnult after a while. We do
not read that his mother came to greet him.
. I suppose she was dead. She would have
been the first to come out. The father
would have eiven the second kiss to the re
turning prodigal: the mother the first. It
may have been for the lack ot her example
and prayers that he became a prodigal.
Sometimes the father does not know how
in TnnnaM LIia nliilHrAn nf tha ImiiRAhnlil.
The eh iet work couus upon the mother.
Indeed, no one ever gets over the calamity
ot losing a mother iu early life. Still this
young man was not ungreeted when he came
i bank."
. However well appareled we may be in the
mornuig when we start out ou a journey, be
fore night, what with the dust ana the
jostling, we have lost all cleanliness of ap
pearance. But this prodigal, when he started
from the swine trough, was ragged and
wretched, and his appearance, after he had
gone through days of journeying and ex
posure, you can more easily imagine than'
describe. As the people see this prodigal
coming on homeward, they wonder who he
is. They say: "I wonder what prison he
i has broken out of. I wonder what lazaretto
he has escaped from. I wonder with what
plague he will smite the air." Although
these people may have beeu well acquainted
with the family, yet they do not imagine
that this is the very young men who went oil
only a little while ago with quick step, and
ruddy cheek, and beautiful apparel. Tha
young ' man, I think, walks very fast. H
looks as though he were intent uron some
thing very important. The people stop.
They look at him. They wonder where he
came from. They wonder where ho is go
ing to.
You have heard of a son who went off to
sea and never returned. All the people in
the neighborhood thought the son would
never return, but the parents came to uo
such conclusion. They would go by the
hour and day and sit upon the beach, look
ing off upon the water, expecting to see tho
sail that would bring home the long absent
boy. And so I think this father of ray text
eat upon tbo vino looking out towaratlie
road on which his son had departed; but
the father has changed very much since
we saw him last. His hair has become
white, his cheeks are furrowed, his heart
is broken. What is all his bountiful table
to him when his son may be lacking bread?
What is all the splendor of the wardroba
of that homestead when the son may not
have a decent coat? What are all the sheep
on that hillside to that father when his pet
lamb is gone? Still he sits nnd watches,
looking out on the road, and one day he be
holds a foot traveler. Uo sees him rise above
the hill; first the head and after awhile the
entire body; and as soon as he gets a fair
fiance of bim he knows it i3 his recreant son.
la forgets the crutch, and the cane, and the
stiffness of the joints, and bounds away. I
think . the people all around are amazed.
They said : 'It is only a footpad. It is only
some old tramp of the road. Don't go out to
meet him." The father knew better.
xnecnangein tne sou s appearance could
not hide the murks by which the father
knew the boy. You know that persons of a
great deal of independence of character are
apt to indicate it iu their walk. For that
reason the sailor always has a peculiar step,
not only been use be stands m uch on shipboard
amid the rocking of the 6ea, and he has to
balance himself, but ho has for the most part
an independent character, which would show
in his gait, even it he never went on the sea;
and we know from what transpired after
ward, and from what transpired before, that
this prodigal son wns ot an independent and
frank nature; and I suppose that the char
acteristics of his mind and heart were the
characteristics of his walk. And so the
father knew him. Ho puts ont his withered
arms toward him; he brings his withered
face against the pale cheek of his son; he
kisses the wnn lips; he thanks God that the
long agony is over. "When ha was yet a
great way off, his father saw him, and had
compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck,
and kissed him."
Oh, do you not recognize that Father?
Who was it? It is God! I have no sym
pathy with that cast-iron theology which
represents God as hard, severe and vindic
tive. God is a Father kind, loving, lenient,
gentle, long-suffering, patient, and He flies
to our immortal rescue. Oh, that we might
realize it. A wealthy lady in one of the
eastern countries was going off for some
time, and she asked her daughters lor some
memento to carry with ber. One of the
daughters brought a marble tablet, beauti
fully inscribed, and another daughter
brought a beautiful wreath of flowers.
The third daughter came and said : "Mother,
i orougnt neitner flowers nor tablet, but
here is my heart.. 1 have inscribed it all over
with your name, and wherever you go it will
go with you." The mother recognized it as
the best of all the memntoes. On. that our
souls miiit out toward our Fuouer;
our hearts might ba written all over with
the evidences of His loving kinln, and
that we might never again forsake Him.
In the first placo, I notice in this text the
father's eyesight; in tha second place, I no
tice the father's haste: anl, in the third
place, I notice the father's kiss.
To begiu: The father's eye-sight. "When
he was a great way oiT his father saw him."
You have noticed how ol I people sometimes
put a book off on the ot er side of the light.
They can see at a distance a great deal easier

does it take a father to leap into the mi ld le
of the highway if his child be there and a
swift vehicle is coming and may destroy
him? Five hundred times , longer than it
takes our heavenly Father to Npring to the
deliverance of a lost child. "When he was
a great way off his father saw him."
And this brings me to notice tho father's
haste. The Bible says he rau. No wonder.
He did not kuow but that the young man
would change his mind and go back. He did
not know but that he would drop down from
exhaustion. He did not know hut that some
thing fatal might overtake him before he got
up to thedoorsill; and so the father rau. The
Bible, for the most part, speak' of God ai
walking. "Iu the fourth watch of the night,"
it says, "Jesus came unto them walking on
the sea." "He walketh upon the wings of
tho wind." Our first parents heard the voioo
of the Lord, walking in the garden in the
cool of the day; but when a sinner starts
out for God the father runs to meet him. Oh I
if a man ever wants help it is wnea he tries
to become a Christian. The world says to
him. HP.itlr n) TJT
ut.u. .vcn. H4W1 YUU. llftVU SUUIV BUiriU
Don't be hampered with religion. Time
enough yet. Wait until you get sick. Wait
until you got old." Satan says: "Sack with
you : you are so bad that God will have noth
ing to do with you;" or, "You are good
enough and need no Redeemer. Take thino
ease, eat, drink and be merry." Ten thou
sand voices say : "Back with you. God is a
hard master. The church is a collection of
hypocrites. Back into your sins; back to
your evil indulgences; back to your prayer
less pillow. The silliest thing that a young
man ever does is to come home after he has
been wandering." Oh, how much help a man
doe3 want when he tries to become a Chris
tian I Indeed, the prodigal cannot find his
way home to his father's house alone. Un
less some one comes to meet him he had bet
ter have stayed by the swine troughs.
When the tide comes in you might more
easily with your broom sweep back the
surges than you could drive back the ocean
of your unforgiven transgressions. What
are we to do? Are we to fight the battle
alone, and trudge on with no one to aid us,
and no rock to shelter us, and no word of
encouragement to chesr us? Glory be to
God, we have in the text the announcement:
"When he was yet a great way off his father
ran." When the sinner starts for God, God
starts for the sinner. God does not come
out with a, slow and hesitating pace. The
infinite spaces slip beneath His feet and He
takes worlds at a bound . "The father ran."
Oh. wonderful mating, when Go I and the
soul coma together. "The father ran."

sinful, pollute ! soul and the loving, etirual
Father have nut.
I remark upon the father's kiss. "He fell
ou his neck," my text says, "au l kisssl
him." It is not every father tiafc would
have done that way. Sonio would have
scolded him, aud said: "Hero, you went oft
with beautiful clothes, but now you are all
in tatters. You went off healthy, and co in
back sick and wasted with your dissipations."
Ha did not say th t. Thesou,all haggard aud
ragged and filthy aud wretched, stood betorj
his father. The father charge I him with
none ot his wauieritigs. He just received
him. He just kissed him. His wretched
ness was a recommendation to that father's
love. Oil, that father's IriaM How shall I
describe the love ot God? the ardor with
which Ho receives a sinner back again?
Give me a plumnst, with which I ray
fathom this se i. Give me a laiier with
which I can scale this height. Give mi
words with which I can desoriba t lis lova.
The apostles say in one placa, "uas3arch

Height overtopping all height; depth plun?
in beneath all depth; breadth compassing
all immensity,
On, this love! God so loved tho world, He
love3 you. Don't you believe it? Hs He
not done everything to make you think so?
He has given you life, health, friends,
home the use of your hand, ths sisht ot
your eye, the hearing of your ear. Ha hai
strewn yoar path with mercies. Hi has fed
you, clothe! you, sheltered you, defender!
you, loved you, importuned you all your
life long. Don't you balieva He love3 you?
Why, it now you should start up from tha
wilderness of your sin Ha would t'irow both

He loves you He sfcoopsd to man5r uni cross
m l sepulchro. With all thi passions of His
lioly nature roused Ho stands bafore you to
lay, and would coax you to baprWie3s an 1
liea van. Oh, this Father's kiss! There is so
much meaning and love and compassion in it;
go much pardon in it; so much heaven iu it.
I proclaim Him tho Lord GoJ, marciful,
gracious and Ion,; suflfsring, abuudaut iu
f;oodness aud truth. Last you would not be
ieve Him He goes up Golgotha,and while the
rocks are rending, and the graves are opan
in?, and the mobs are howling, and the sun
ishidiug, He dies for you. Sea Him! Sae
Him on the Mount of Crucifixion, the sweat
on His brow tinged with the blood exuding
from His lacerated temples! Sea His eyes
swimming in death! Hear the loud breath
ing of tho sufferer as He pants with a world
on His heart! Eiark to tne f all of the blood
from brow and hand and foot on the rocks
beneath drop!. drop! drop! Look at the
nails ! How wide the wounas are ! Wider do
they gape as His body comes down upon
them. Oh! this crucifixion agony! Tears
melting into tears. Blood flowing into blood.
Darkness dropping on darkness. Hands of
men joinod with bands of devils to tear apart
the quivering heart of the Son of God!
Oh. will He never speak again? Will that
crimson faca never light up agaiu? He will
speak again; while tho blood is suffusing His ,
brow, and reldening His cheek, and gather
ing on nostril and lip, and you thiuk He is
exhausted and cannot speak, He cries out un
til all the ages hear Him: "Father, forgive
them, they know not what they do!" Is
there no emphasis in such a scene as that to
make your drv eyes weep and your hard
heartbreak? Will you turn your back upon
it. and say by your actions what the Jews
said by their words: "His blood be onus,
nnd on our children?" What does it all
meau, my brother, my sister? Why, it means
that for our lost race there was a Father's
J:iss. Love brought Him down. Love opened
tho. gate. Love led to tha sacrifice. Love
shattered the grave. Love lif te 1 Him up in
resurrection. Sovereign love? Omnipotent
love! Infinite love! Bleeding lovel Ever
lasting love!
Oil, for this love let rocks and bills
Their lasting nilenca break;
And nil harmonious ho man tonjnes
The Saviour's praises ipsak.
Now, will you accept that Father's kiss?
The Holy Spirit comes to you with His arous
ing, melting, alarming, inviting, vivifying
influence. Hearer, what creates in thee that
unrest? It is the lioly Ghost. What influ
ence now tells thee that it is time to fly. that
to-morrow may be too late; that there is one
door, one road, one cross, one sacrifice, one
Jesus? It is the Holy Ghost.
My most urgent word is to those who, like
tho young man of my text, are a great way
off, aud they will start for home, and they
will get home. They will yet preach the Gos
pel, and on communion days carry around
tho consecrated bread, acceptable to every
body, because of their holy life aud their
consecrated behavior. The Lord is going to
savo you. Your home has got to bo rabuilt.
Your physical health has got to be restored.
Your worldly business has got to be recon
structed. The Church ot God is going to re
joico over your discipleship. You are not
Gospel hardens 1. You nave not heard
or read many sermons during the last few
years. You do not weep, but the shower is
not far off. You sigh, and you have noticed
that there is always a sigh in the wind before
the rain falls. . '
' There are those who would give anything
if they eould find relief in tears. They say;
"Ob, my wasted life! Oh, the bitter past!
Oil, the graves over which I have stnmbiedl
Whithsr sha'l I fly? Alas for tha future!
Everything is dark so dark, so dark. God
help ma! IGod pity me!" Thank the Lord
for that last utterancei. You have begun to
prav.and jri.en a man begins to petition, t.liat
sets all heaven flying this way, and God steps
in nd beats back the hounds of temptation
to their kennel, and around about the poor
wounded soul puta the cover of His pardon

What was that? It is tho bars of the fence

TRADE OF THE WEEK.

Fair .Distribution . of Mercnaadise Re
! ported Over the Country.
Increase in Railway Earnings In Spits
of Labor Troubles Dealings with .
Foreign Ports Thi Failures.
Special telegrams to Bradstreet show on the
whole the distribution of general merchandise
is of very large proportions, notwithstanding
reports of only moderate activity in leading
lines for weeks past from Boston, Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, Kansas City and other cities.
The special activity noted at present is in
dry goods, cottons and boots and shoes, except
t Kansas City, where agricultural imple
ments and groceries are relatively most active.
The great activity in general trade through
out the country more than counterbalances
railway rate troubles in some sections and as
result, gross rsJIlway earnings for May in
creased 14.47 per cent, over May of last year,
which month showed a gain of 6.6 per cent,
over May, 1888.. Total eafnings for May of 137
companies aggregated $35,493,025, an increase
over last May of $4,488,897.
The Southwestern group, as before, ranks
first with a gain of 22 per cent. For the five
morths the earnings or 134 roads aggregate
$160,953,798 on a mileage of 78,124 miles, a
gain of respectively 12.7 and 2.9 per cent, in
these t wo items.
Bank clearings at fifty-one cities for the six
days ending June 12 are 1 $1,263,103,274, a
gam over the like week last year of 11 per
rent, New York city's clearings which consti
tute 63.5 per cent of the grand total, exceed
those for the like period last year by nearly
0 per cent.
Stock speculation at New York is very
dull with a tendency in prices to sag lower.
Europe has sold stocks and the professional
element is slightly bearish on the slow pro
gress of silver legislation and the unsettled
railroad troubles.
Provisions and cereals have nearly all de
clined within the week the drop in wheat be-
!ng about 2c, mainly on improved crop out
ook and weaker cables. Hog products, too,
are weak, lard being off ten points. Live
hogs and cattle are weaker at Western markets
and dairy products, while firm are selling at
lower figures than a week ago.
The foreign trade for April gained 9 per
cent, as compared with April, 1889, free im
ports being larger by 22 per cent., owing to
large receipts of coffee, chemicals, rubber and
raw silk. Dutiable imports gained 2.5 per
cent., and exports 8.7 per cent., cotton ship
ments alone showing a very heavy decline.
For the ten months the value of trade in the
fiscal year shows a gain of 10 per cent., ex
ports increasing 16.6 per cent and imports
4.5 per cent.
Exports of wheat (and fionr as wheat), both
coasts, equal 1,308,557 bushels in the like week
last year, and 2,324,610 bushels last week. The
total exported July 1, 1889. to date, as spec
ially telegraphed from leading ports to Brud
ttreet's each week, is 101,864,224 bushels
against 83,169,990 bushels in the like portion
of 1888-89.
Available stocks of wheat at 1000 points of
accumulation East of the Rocky Mountains
as reported to Bradstrect's declined only 800,
000 bushels last week against an average
weekly prior to May of nearly 50 per cent,
larger.
Business failures reported to BradMreel'
number 149 in the United States this week
against 175 last week and 195 this week ast
year. Canada had 18 this week against 27
last week. Thetotal number of failujrt's in the
United States, January 1 to datj is 5091,
sgainst 5,440 in a like portion of M89.
