ALKAGE 1 Prc::cIiC3 a Sermon at . Lakeside, 0. tZZZOS OF THE VACANT CHAIR IN ; . THE FAMILY CIBCLB. Ilata lppealj lo Oar Better Natures From -These . Reminders of the ;.: Loved Onee Who Hate Simply Gone Before. The encampment ground! at Lalce ilde, Ohio, received a great Influx of Sandusky, Toledo and Cloveland people Sunday, to hear the sermon by T. De Witt Talmagerand It was a rait multi tude that he preached Jo at 11 a. m. Ilia subject was the "Vacant Chair," and his text I Samuel xx, 18, Tho shalt be missed, becauto thy seat will be empty." Set on the table the cutlery and the chased sllrerware of the palace, for King Saol will give a state dinner today. A distinguished place is kept at the table for his son-in-law, a celebrated warrior, David by came. The guests, Jeweled and plumed, come In and . take their places. When people are Invited to a king's banquet they are very apt to go. But before the covers are lifted from the feast Saul looks around and finds a va cant seat at the table. lie says within himself, perhaps audibly: "What does this, mean? Where is my son-in-law? Where is Pay Id, the great warrior? I invited him. 1 expected him. What! vacant chair at the king's banquet!" The fact was that David, the' warrior, had been seated for the last time at bis father-in-law's table. The day before Jonathan had coaxed David to go and occupy that place at the table, saying to David in the words of my text, "Thou ahalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty." The prediction was fulfilled. David was missed." Ills seat waa empty. That one vacant chair spoke louder than all the occupied chairs at the banquet. V ' In almost every houte the articles of furniture take a living personality. That picture a stranger would not see any thing remarkable cither in its design or execution, but it is more to you than all the pictures of the Louvre and Luxem bourg. You remember who bought it, and who admired it. .And that hymn book rou remember who sang out of it. And that cradle you remember who rocked it And that Bible -you remem ber who read out of It. : And that bed you remember who slept in it And that room you remember who died in It But there is nothing In all your house so eloquent and so mighty voiced as the vacant chair. ; I suppose that before Sanl and his guests got up from this banquet there was a great clatter of wine pitchers but all that racket was drowned out by the voice that came up from the vacant chair at the table, ll ''.' 1 Millions have gazed and wept at John Quincy Adams': vacant chair - in the House of Representatives, .anQ fct-rte'nry Wilson's vacantxhatplu the vice presi ilSTfffllar Henry Clay's vacant chair in the American Senate, and at Prince Albert's vacant chair in Windsor castle, and at Thiers vacant chair in the coun cils of the French nation. But all theso chairs are unimportant to, you as .com pared with -the vacant' chairs In your own household. Hare these chairs any lesson for us to learn? Are we any better men and women than when they first ad dressed us? ' father's chair. ' First I point out to you the father's vacant chair. Old men always like to I . f . . 1 . I A sit in me same pi ace ana in me same chair. .' They somehow feel" moro at home, and sometimes when you are in their place and they come into the room you Jump up suddenly and say, "Hero, father, here's your chair. Tho prob ability is it is an arm chair, for ho Is not so strong as he once was, and he needs a little upholding. His hair is a little frosty, his gums -a little depressed, for In his early days there . was not much dentistry. Perhaps' a cane chair and old fashioned apparel, for4 though you may have suggested somo improvement, father does not want any of your non sense, urandlainer never had much ad miration for new fangled notions. I sat at the table of one of my parish losers in a former congregation; an aged dan was at the table, and tho son was presiding, and the' father somewhat abruptly addressed, the son and said, 'My son, don't try to show off because the minister is here!" Tour father never , ' liked ' any new customs or manners; he preferred the old way of doing things, and he nover looked so happy as when, with his eyes closed, ho sat in the armchair in the corner. From tho wrinkled brow to the tip of tho slippers, what placidity! The wave of the past years of . his life broke at the foot, of that 'chair, Porhsps sometimes he was a little impatient, and sometimes told the same story twice; but over that old chair bow many blessed memories hover! I hope you did not crowd that olJ chair, and that it did not got very much in the way. ' -. -. Sometimes the old - man's chslr gets very much in the way, especially if he has been so unwise as to make overall t',$ property to ,hls children, with the understanding that tbey are to take care of him. X oave seen in such cases chil dren crowd the - old man's chair to the iloor, and thn crowd it clear Into the street, and then crowd it into tbe poor Louie, and keep on crowding it until the old man fell oat of it Into his grave.. But your . father's chair was a sacred i-acw 'The children used to climb upon oroo'gi of It for a good nlfbt klas, and e fcniger he Hayed the bettor yu liked ft But thatth&Jr Las bcoo vacant now r ouj .tfakp.J ,,f!;9 furniture dealer r -mid not giv yon li!y cants for it, but ; . iL rono:.C!i iciii usme id your eo isle t ii fJa, - I r.n .v In t; ' Trench pafV' 2. t r 5 hi tut ihrofB ryorn, t!;t thsir : st - i? i - .. Cicupy. It vra? a n part of it was the letter "N" embrold- cred Into e back of the chair in puipli.1 and gold. And your father's old chair sits in tbe throne room of your heart,! and your affections have embroidered Into' the back of that old chair in n-nrole and and gold the letter "F." ; Have all tho prayers of that old chair boon answered ? Have all the counsels of that old "chair been practiced? Speak outl old arm chatr. . '.4 . - History tells us of an old man whoss three sons were victors in the 01 y 11 pi j games, and when they came back these three sons, with their garlands, put them on their father's brow, and the old man was so rejoiced at the : victories of his throe children that he fell dead In heit arms. And are you, oh, man, going to bring a wreath of joy and Christian use fulness and put It on your father's brow, or on the vacant chair, or on tbe memory of the one departed? Speak out. old arm chair! r Wltfa reference - to your father, the words of my text have been fulfilled, "Thou shaltbe missed, because thy seat shall be empty." MOTHKR'8 CHAIR. I go a little further, on in your house and I find the mother's chair. It is very apt to be a rocklug chair. She had so many cares and troubles to soothe that it must have rockers. I remember it wellj it was an old chair, and the rockers were almost . worn . out, for I was the youngest, and the chair had rocked the whole family. It made a creaking noise as It moved; but '.here was music in the sound. It waa Just high enough to allow us children to put our heads into her. lap. That was the bank where we . deposited all our hurts and worries. Ah! what a chair that was. It was different from tho father's chair, it was-ntlrely different You ask me how? I can not tell; but we all felt it was different - Perhaps there was about this chatr 'more' gentleness, more tenderness, more grief when we had done wrong. When we were wayward father scolded, but mother cried. It was a very wakeful chair. In tho sick days of children other chairs could not koep awake; that chair always kept awake kept easily awake. The chair knew all the old lullabies and all those wordless songs which mothers sing to their sick children songs in which all pity and compassion and . sympathetic influoncos are combined. ; :rl 1 it's V Li 4 ; f . That old chair has stopped rocking for a good many years. It may bo sot up in the loft or the garret, but it holds a queenly power yet When at midnight you went Into that grog shop to get the intoxicating draught did you not hear a voice that said, "My son, why go in there?" And louder than the boisterous sncore of the place of sinful amusement, t a voice saying, "My sou, what do you do here?" 'And 'when you went into the house of abandonment, a voice saying, "What would your mother do if she knew you wore here?" And you wero provoked with yourself, and you charged yourself with 'suporstition and fanati cism and your head got hot with your own thoughts, and you went -homo and you wont to. bod, and" no sooner had you touched,' this bed than a voice said: "What! a prayless pillow? Man! what Is tho matter?". This, you are too near crtia w wi ii 1i as' vrutlrtn m ; 1- your mother's rocking chair. . '"Oh, pshaw, n. you say. Thero is noth ing In that i I'm five hundred miles off from where I was born. I'm three thou sand miles off from the, church whoso bell was the first music I over heard." I I cannot help that ': You are too near your mother's rocking chair. "Oh," you say, "there can't . be anything in that That chair has boon , vacant a great while," I cannot help that It is all the mightier for that It is omnipotent, that vacant mother's chair. It whispers, it speaks, it weeps, it carols, it mourns, it prays, it warns, it thunders. A young man wont off and broke his mother's heart and while he was away from home his mother died, and the telegraph brought the son, and he came Into tho rom where sho lay and looked upon her face, and he cried out: "Oh, mothor, mothor, what your life could not do your death shall effect! This moment I give my heart to God." And he kept his prom ise. Another victory for the vacant chair. With reference to your mother the words Of my text wofe fulfilled, "Thou shalt be missed, bocauso thy seat will be empty." " THE THY AMD'S CHAIR. I go on a little further, and I ome to the invalid's chair. .What! Ho vr long have you been sick? "Oh! I have boon sick ten, twenty, thirty . years." ' Is it possible? - What a story of endurance.' There are in many of the families of my congregation these . invalid's chairs. The occupants of them thluk thoy are doing uo good In the world, but that in valid's chatr is the mighty pulpit from which they have been preaching, all these years, trust in God. Tho first time I preachod here at Lakeside, Ohio, amid the throngs present, there was nothing that so much impressed me as tho spec tacle of just one face the face of an in valid who was wheeled in on her chair. I sail to her afterward, "Madam, how long have you been prostrated?", for she was lying flat in the chair. "Oh!" she replied, "I have boen this way fifteen years." I said, "Do you suffer very much?" "Oh, yes," she sald.'1 suffer very much; I suffer all the time; part of the time I was blind. I always suffer." "Well," I said, "can you koep your cour age up?" "Oh, yes," she said, "I am happy, very happy indeed." Her face shewed It She looked the happiest of any one on the ground. Oh, what a means of grace to tho world, these Invalid chairs. On that field of human suffering the grace of God gets its victory. Edward Payson, the invalid, and Richard Baxtor, the in valid, and Robert Hall, tno invalid, and the ten thousand of whom tho world has never hoard, but of whom all hcavou Is cognizant The most conspicuous tiling on earth for God's eye aud tho i) ol angela to rest on, is not a throno oi earthly power, bat it Is tho invali.l's cLalr. Oh, , tleso men and womoa who S,re always suffering but ii' rn . 1 Ing these vk-thns of. p 1! j neura'glc toituiv, :. elation will answer to the roll call of tho martyrs, and rise to the martyr's throne, nd w,n wv. the artyr's palm, Bt when one of theso Invalids' chaira bocouios vacant how suggestive It tl No moro bolstering up 5f the weary head. No more" changing from . side to side to got an easy position. No more uso of tho bandage and tho cataplasm and the prescription.. That Invalid's 1 chair may bo folded up or taken apart or sot away, but it will novor lose its queen . ly power; it will always preach of trust In God and choerful submission. Suf fering all ended now. With respect to that Invalid tho words of my text have . been fulfilled, "Thou shait "be missed,: because thy seat will bo empty." THAT KJirxy IHOU'CHAIB. - , - I pass on and I find one more vacant chair. It is a high chair. It is the cn.ild'9 chair. If that chair be occuplod I ( think it Is the most potent chair In all tho household. All the chairs wait on it; all he chairs are turned toward it. It means moro than David's chair at Saul's banquet At any rate It makes more racket1 That Is a strange house that can be dull with a child In it How that child breaks up tho hard worldltness of the place and keeps you young to sixty, 1 seventy and eighty years of age. If you have no child of your own adopt one; it will open heaven to your soul.' It will pay Its way. Its crowing In the morning will give tho day a cheerful starting, and Its glee at night will give tho day a -cheerful closed You do not like children? -Then you -had bettor stay out of heaven, for there are so many there they , would fairly make you crazy. Ouly ' about five hundred millions of them. The , old crusty Pharisees told the mothers to : keep tho chlldrou away from Christ I "You bother hltn,' they said; "you ! trouble the MastorT" : Troublo him! He has filled heaven with that kind of trou-1 ble. 7 Vv'.'.' ., , ... I I A pioneer in California says that for the first year or two - after bis resldonco in Sierra Nevada county there was not a single child in all tho roach of a hun- . dred miles. But the ' Fo'urth of ' July ' came, and the miners were gathered to gether and they were celebrating the Fourth with oration and poem and a boisterous brass band, and while the , band Was playing an infant's voice was ' heard crying,- and all the miners were startled, and tho swarthy men begau to think of thoir homes on the eastern coast and thoir wives and children far away, and their hearts wore thrilled with j homesickness as they hear the babe cry. 1 But tbe music went on, and tho child cried louder and louder, and the brass band played louder and louder, trying to drown out tho infantile interruption. when a swarthy miner, the tears rolling down his face, got up and shook his fist and said, "Stop that uoisy band, and give the baby a chance." Oh, thero was pathos iu it, as well as good cheer in it There Is nothing to arouse and melt'and subdue the soul like a child's voltfo. But when it goes away from you tho high chair become a higher chair and 'there is desolation all about you. - ' , In three-fourths of tho homes . of this... congregation there is a vacant high chair. Somehow you never cot over it." There Is no one to put to bed at night; i - - it 1 a. uooneto ask &trango Questions about God and heaven. Oh, what Is the uso of .hat high chair?. It is to call you higher. What a drawing upward it is to have children in heaven! j And then it is such a preventive against sin. If afathorls ! going awey into sin bo loaves his living . children with their mother; but if a father s going away into sin what is he going todo with his dead children floatlug about and hovering over his every way ward step. Oh, speak out, vacant high chair, and say: "Fathor, com back from sin; mother, come back from world ltness. I am watching you. I am wait ing for you." With respect - to your ' nhild the words of my text have boon ulfllled. "Thou shalt bo missed, because thy seat will be empty." ' AN iJfVITATIOX tTPWAKD. . My hearers, I have gathered up the voices of your departed friends and tried o intone them into one invitation' up ward. I set in array all the vacant chairs of your homes and of your : social -iircles, and I bid them cry out this morn ing: "Time is short Eternity is near. Take my Saviour. Be at peace with my God.
