THIS BROOKLYN IMVIXES SUN
DAY SKKMOX.
Subject: "Holy Compulsion.'
Tex-:
Luke xvi.
'Ami

compel llicm to como in,'
Tho plainest poojilo In our day havo luxu-rii-H
which tho kint's nnl queens of olden
tlniefi never ImiiLcInod. I walked up and
down tin: st ilra of Hoivrool f il.ice :i pii
laco that was considered on" of tho Yondor'j
of tho world and I said : "Can it bo possi
ble that this is all tliero was of this reputed
wondorful i!ac-y;' And this Is tho case In
many other Inst.-incffi. Thero aro fruits In
Wnstohostor County nnd on Loner Island
farms far In ttor than tho pomoranntia aud
apricots of isiblo times. Through all tho
tiK".s tlioro Jinvo lxcn scones of fostivitios,
and tho wealthy man of my toxt plans a.
Kruat entertainment an I invites his friends.
Tf -n" 'iiiii )h a beautiful hor . ho wants his
aeqtia.i.tap. to eomo and enjoy it. If ono
buys an exqulslro picture, ho wants his
friends to como an 1 appreciate it, and it was
a laudable thing when the wealthy man ot my
text, happy himself, wanted to make other
peoplo happy. And no tho invitations went
out, but something went very much wronp.
You can imagine the embarrassment of any
one who has provided a grand feast when ho
finds out that tho gueBtB invitod do not
Intend to come. Thero Is nothing that so
provokes tho master of tho fexst as that.
Well, these people Invited to this great
banquet of the text mado most frirolous excuse.-).
The fact was, I BUppose, th-.t so:no
Of them wero offended that this mau had
succeeded so much better in tho world than
they bad. There are peoplo in all occupa
tions and professions who consider it a
wrong to them that anybody olso is ad
vanced. I suppose these peoplo Invited to
tho feast said anions themselves : "Wo aro
not going to administer to that man's van
ity. He is proud enough now. Wo won't
go. Resides that wo could all give partlos
if wo made our money tho way that man
makes his."
So when tho messengers went out with
the invitations there was a uuanirnous re
fusal. Ono man said, "Oil, I havo bought n
farm, and I must go nnd look at it." Ho
Was a lau'l speculator and had no business
to buy land until bo knew about it. A
frivolous excuse. Another man said, "I
liavo bought live yoko of oxen." Tho
probability is that ho was a speculator in
live stock. I To ought to havo known about
tho oxeu before ho bought thorn. Besides
that, If ho had been very anxious to got to
tho feast, ho could havo hookod them up
and driven them on tho road thero. An
other frivolous oxcus". Auothor man eaid,
"Oh, I havo married a wife, and I can't
como," when if He had said to his wife, "I
have an Invitation to a splendid dinner. It
is highly complimentary to me. I should
very much liko to go. Will you go along
with me?" she would have said, "Tobosuro,
I will go." Another frivolous excuse. Tho
fact was that they did not want to go.
"Now," said tho great man of tho foasf,
. "I will not bo defeated in this matter. I
j havo with an honest purpose provided a
banquet, and there aro scores of peoplo who
would liko to como if they wero only lu-
! vited. Ilcro, my man, hero ; you go out,
and when you llnd a blind mau givo him
your arm and fetch him in. and whon you
find a lu.mo man givo liiui a crutch and fotch
him in, and when you llnd a poor man toll
him that thero is a plate for him in my man
sion, and when you find eomo one who Is so
ragged and wretched that ho has never leen
Invited anywhere then by tho kindest ten
derness ami tho most loving invitation any
ono ever had compel him to como in."
Oh, my friends, it requires no acuteness
on my part or on your part to soo in all this
affair that religion is a banquet. Tho tablo
was sot In Palestino a good many years ago.
and the disciples gathered around it, and
they thought they would havo a good time
all by themselves, but whllo they sat by this
table tho leaves began to grow and spread,
nnd ono loaf went to tho oast and another
leaf went to tho west until tho whole earth
was covered up with them, and tho clusters
from tho heavenly vineyard wero pile 1 up
on tho board, and tho trumpets and harps of
eternity made up tho orchestra, and as this
wlno of God la pressed to tho lips of a sin
ning, bleeding, suffering, dying, groaning
world a volco breaks from tho heavens, say
ing: "Drink. O friends. Yoa, drink, O be
loved '" O blosaod Lord Jesus, tho best
friend I ever had, the best irlond any man
ever had, was there over such a tablo? Was
there ever such a banquet'
From tho cross uplifted high,
'"here lb. Saviour deigns to dlo,
What melo II -us s'lumls I hear
EurstiiiK on th ravished rar!
Heaven's rodeeinlnn; work Is dorn
Coin", and welcome, sluner, come.
Religion is a joyous thing. I do not want
to hear anybody talk about religion as
thotigh it wero a funeral. I do not want any
body to whiuo in tho prayer meeting about
tho kingdom of God. I do not want any
man to roll up his eyes, giving in that way
ovidenco of his sanctity. Tho men and
wpmcn of God whom I happen to know for
tho most part find religion a great Joy. It is
exhilaration to tho body. It is invlgoration
to tho mind. It is rapturo to tho soul. It
i3 bnlm for all wounds. It is light for all
darkness. It is harbor from all storms, and
thouglf God knows that somo of them havo
troublo onougli now, they rejolco because
they aro ontnolr way to tho congratulations
eternal.
Oh, tho Lord God has many fair and beau
tiful daughters, but tho fairest of them all is
sho whose ways aro pleasantness and whoso
paths aro peace. Now. my brothers and
sisters Tor I have a rlgiit to call you all so
I I know somo people look back on their nu
j cestral line, aud they see they aro descended
I from tho Puritans or Huguenots, and they
; rejoico in that, but I look back on my an
! cestral line, and I see theroln such a mlng
I ling nnd mixture of tho blood of all mitionali
: ties that I feel akin to all tho world, and by
1 tho blood of tho Son of God, who died for
j all people, I address you in the bonds of uni
: versal brotherhood.
I como out as only a servaut bringing an
I Invitation to a party, and I put it Into your
1 hand, sayingj "Conic, for all things are now
j ready," and I urgo it upon you and continue
j to urgo it, and belore I got through I hope,
by the blessing of God, to compel you to
como in.
Wo must tako caro how wo givo tho invita
tion. Jly Christian frlen'ls, 1 tntnk some
times wo have just gone opposito to Christ's
command, and we have compelled peoplo to
stay out. Sometimes our elaborated instruc
tions have been tho hindrance. We gradu
ate from our theological seminaries on stilts,
and it takes five or six years before we can
como down and stand right besldo th.o groat
masses of the people, learning their joys,
sorrows, victories, defeats.
We get our heads so brimful of theological
wisdom that wo havo to stand very straight
lest they spill over. Now, what do tho groat
masBos of tho peoplo caro about tho tech
nicalities ot religion' What do they caro
about tho hypostatic union or the difference
between BublaDsarian and supralapsarian?
What do they "caro for your profound ex
planations, clear as a London fog' When a
man is drowning, he does not want you to
stand by tho dock and describe tho nature of
tho water into which ho has fallen and toll
him there aro two part3 hydrogen gas and
one of oxygen gas, with a common density
of 39 F.. turcingto steam under a common
atmospheric pressure of 212. He does not
want a chemical lecture on water, lie wants
a rope.
Oh, my frlendf, tho curso of God on tho
church, it seems to me, In this day, is meta
physics. We speak in an unknown tongue
in our Sabbath-schools, aud in our religious
assemblages, and in our pulpits, and how
can peoplo bo saved unless they can under
stand us? We put on our official gowns, and'
wo think tho two silk balloons Happing at
tho elbows of a preacher give him groat
eanctit v. Tho river of God's truth lie vs fown
before us pure ana ciear as crystal buc wo
take our theological stick and stir it up and
stir It up until you cannot seo tho bottom.
Oh, for tho simplicity of Christ In all our in
structions the simplicity He practiced when
standing among the people ne took a lily
and said, ''There is a lesson of the manner i
will clothe you," and pointing to a raven.
Bald : "Thero is a lesson of the way I will
feed you. Consider the lillos behold the
fowls."
I think often In our religious instructions
we compel the people to stay out by out
ohurch architecture. People come in, and
they find things angular and cold and stiff,
and they go away, never again to come,
when tho church ought to bo a great homo
circle, everybody having a hymnbook, giving
half of it to the ono next him ; every one
who has a band to shako hands shaking
hands tho church architecture and tho
church surroundings saying to tho people,
"Como in and bo at home." Instead of that.
I think all these surroundings often compel
the pooplo to stay out. Now, lot us all re
pent of our sins and begin on tho other track
and by our heartiness of affection and
Warmth of manner and Imploraiion of the
spirit of God compel tho peoplo to como in.
How shall wo lend sfnnors to accept the
Lord's invitation? I think wo "iust certain
ly begin by a holy Ufo. We mast bo bettor
men, bettor women, before wo can compel
the peoplo to come into the kingdom of
Jesus Christ. Thero aro fine essays being
written in this day about science and re
ligion. I tell you tho best argument in be
half of our holy Christianity. It Is a good
man, a good woman, a life all consecrated
to ""-'-fst. No Infidel can answer It. Oh,
1c ; iy a holj ciamplo cornel tho people
to como in !
I read of a 10101? t of 'ho gospol who was
very fond of climbing among tho Bwiss
mountains. Ono day ho was cltmbiugamong
very dangerous places and thought himself
all alone whon he heard a volco beneath him
say : "Father, look out for the safe path ; I
am following." And he looked back, and ho
saw that he was climbing not only for him
self, but climbing for his boy. Oh, let us bo
sure and tako tho safo path ! Our children
aro following ; our partners in business are
following ; our neighbor? are following ; a
gret multitude stepping right on in our
steps. Oh, be suro aud tako tho right path !
Exhibit a Christian example, and so by your
godly walk compel the peoplo to come in.
I think then is work also in tho way of
kindly admonition. I do not believe there is
a person in this house who, If approachod
in t kindly and brotherly manner, .vould
refuse to listen. If you aro rebuffed, it Is
because you lack in tact and common sense.
But, oh, how much effectivo work thero is
In tho way or kindly admonition ! Thero aro
thousands of men all around about you who
have novor had ono personal invitation to
tho cross. Givo that ono invitation, and you
would bo surprlsod at tho alaority with
which they would accept it.
I havo a friend, a Christian physician,
who ono day became very anxlou3 about tho
salvation of a brother physician, and bo ho
left his office, wont down to his man's offlco
and said, "Is tho doctor in'" "No," replied
tho young man waiting. "Tho doctor is
not In." "Well," said this physician, "when
ho comes In, toll him I called and givo him
my Christian love." Thi3 worldly doctor
camo home aftor awhile, and tho mossago
was given to him, and ho said within hlin
solf, "What does ho moan by leaving his
Christian lovo for me'" And he bocamo
vory much awakened and stlrrod in spirit,
and ho said aftor awhile, "Why, that man
must moan my soul," and ho went into his
back ofHco, knelt down and began to pray.
Thou he took his hat and wont out to the
office of this Christian physician and said,
"What can I do to bo savoJ'" and the two
doctors knelt In tho offlco and commended
their souls to God. All tho moans used in
that caso was only tho voico of ono good
man, saying, "Give my Christian love to tho
doctor. Tho voico of kindly admonition.
Havo you uttered it to-day? Will yon utter
it to-morrow? Will you utter it now? Com
pel them to como in.
I think thero is a groat work also to bo
dono in the way of prayer. If wo had faith
enough to-day, wo could go before God and
ask for tho salvation of all tho people in our
churohes, and they would all bo saved thoro
and thon without a single exception. Thero
might bo professional men there, political
men there, worldly men thero, men who had
not hoard tho gospol for twenty years, men
who are prejudiced against tho proacher3,
men who are projudlcod agatnst tho musio,
men who aro prejudiced against tho church,
men who are prejudiced against God I do
not care they might bo brought in by fer
vent nrayor you would coinpol thorn to
como in.
Oh, for such an oarnost prayer ! People
of God, lay hold of tho horns of tho altar
now and supplicate tho salvation of allthoso
who sit in tho same pow with you yea, tho
redemption of all who sit in your churches.
I tell you to-day, my friends of a great sal
vation. Do you understand what It Is to
havo a Saviour? He took your place. Ho
bore your sins. He wept your sorrows. Ho
is hero now to save your soul. A soldier,
worn out In his country's sorvico, took to tho
violin as a mode of earning his living. Ho
was found In tho street ot Vionna playing
his violin, but aftor awhile his hand bocamo
feeblo and tremulous and he could no moro
mabp music Ono day, whllo he sat thoro
weeping, a man passed along and said :
"My Iriond, you are too old and feoble. Give
mo your violin." And ho took the man's
violin ana began to discourso most exquisite
music, and tho pooplo gathorod around in
larger and largor multitudes, and tho aged
man hold his hat, and tho coin poured In un
til the hat was full.
"Now," said the man who was playing tho
violin, "put that coin in your pockets." Tho
coin was put in tho old man's pocket3.
Thon ho held his hat again, and the violin
ist played moro sweetly than ever and playod
until some of the peoplo wept and somo shout
ed. And again tho hat was llllod with coin.
Then tho violinist dropped tho instrument
and passed off. and tho whisper went, "Who
is it, who is it?" and some one just entering
tho crowd said: "Why, that is Buchor, tho
great violinist, known all through the realm.
Yes. that is the great violinist." Tho fact
was, ho had Just taken that man's plnoe,
and assumed his poverty, and boruo Ids bur
den, and playod his music, and earned his
llvolihood, and mado sucriflco lor tho poor
old man. Bo tho Lord Jesus Christ coaies
down, and Ho linds us in our spiritual pen
ury, and across tho broken strings of His
own broken heart Ho strikes a strain of in
lln'.to musio which wins the alttention of
earth and heaven. Ho takos our poverty.
Ho plays our music. Ho weeps our sorrow.
Ho dies our death. A sacriiloo for you, a
sacrifice for mo.
Oh. will you accept this saerlilco now? I
do not siuglo out this and that man and this
and that woman. But I say all may come.
The sacrifice is so great all may be saved.
Do-js it not soom to you as if heaven was
feel its breath on my
eh, et io,i la nonr. Christ is near. The
HolvSnirlt is near. Ministering angels are
near, your glorilled kindrod in hoavou near,
your Christian father near, your glorilled
mother near, your departed children noar.
Your redemption is near.
A Bull-Fighter on a Hicycle.
An extraordinary account of a bull fU
:hr.
in which a cyclist played tho most important
part, is related in a South American paper.
When the chulos with their rod cloaks and
darks had worked the bull into a state of in
describable lury tho picador, Sonor Joso do
Silva. appeared upon the scone, mounted on
a bicycle instead of a horse, and proceeded
to harass the animal. Avoiding his lance, the
brute charged him. He barely had time to
slip from the saddle when tho bull caught
up the machine on its horns, hurling it into
tho air. It fell on the animal's back. Tak
ing advantage of tho hesitation of tho beast,
which could not realizo from whence
tho severe blow on its back came, tho mata
dor jumped nimbly forward and udminls
terad tiie coup do grace.

EXPLORER PEARY SAFE.
HE REMAINS IN GREENLAND
TO COMPLETE HIS WORK.
The Thrilling Narrative of If Is Adven
tures in the Arctic Iteploa A
Peary Uaby Aldel to tho Party
The Lieutenant to Oo Northward
Next Year With Two Comrades.
A dispatch from St. Johns, Newfoundland,
Bays 1 Tho steam whaler Falcon arrived
with eleven members of tho Peary Arctic ex
pedition. Including Mrs. Peary and her year
old daughter and nurse, and also tho mem
bers of the auxiliary expedition except Dr.
Ohlln, tho Swedish naturalist, who took pas
sage on a Danish ship sailing direct from
Godhavn to Copenhagen. The nuxlllary
part v had sailed north last July to relievo
the original party, who had boon In the Azo
tic regions since last summer.
LIEUTENANT PEARY.
The story of tho expoditiou Is very thrill
ing. Tho first incident of note was tho
birth of Mrs. Peary's baby, on September
12. 1893, a month after tho Falcon left last
yenr. ino paoy, aiano Aiiuiguu iwij,
camo homo sate Wltu nor morner.
Dnrlnir tho month of October last lrlghtlui
Btorms swept over Falcon Harbor, smashing
tho naphtha launch and washing away largo
quantities of oil intended for uso for illum
inating and heating purposes.
The various sclontitic ooservations wero
pursued all winter. Tho meteorological ob
servations wore most successful. These wre
taken by Mr. Baldwin. On March 6 last the
main expedition started across urooniann to
Independence Bay, tho furthest point north
reachoa by Jjloutonnnt roary ou uis previous
Journey.
The eight men, Liieuionnni i u;iry, jjuio;-
kin, Astrup, Dr. Vinoenf, Lee, Davidson,
Baldwin and Clarke, with twelvo sledges
nnd ninety-two dogs, met with frightiul
weather almost from tho time of starting.
After a week Dr. Vincent was so used
up that ho had to return. The Btorma
roaohod their worst point during
the equinoctial galos on March
20. Tho party was then In camp about llfly
miles from Anniversary Lodge, in a tempo
rary house at the head of Bowdoln Bay.
The thermometer dropped to llfty-llvo and
sixty degrees below zero, und remained ho
forabouttwo days, wnuo a gaie uiowmg
about fifty miles an hour buffotixl tho party.
Davidson and Leo wore Potn uaaiy irosi-
bittoD, and Astiup, tho Norwegian, Lleuteu-
MRS. PEAIlY.
ant Peary's chief dependence, gave In from
hardship. Tho dogs perished in great num
bers and froze Into solid blocks.
After the storm was ever tho whole party
returned to Anniversary Lodge, whero they
left three sick men, logother with plenty ot
supplies to form a basis of operations, i nen
the four healthy ones. Lieutenant 1'oary,
Entrekin, Clarke nnd Baldwin, started again
and continued onwai-d for fourteen days.
But the dogs Btlll continuod to die. hose
left wero unablo to drag the
Blodgos and provisions. Tho party wns
BO weakenod by exposura and tho time oc
cupied in traveling was so long as to render
It impossible to roach Independence Bay in
time to accomplish anything. Consequently
Lloutonant Peary decided to abandon the
attempt to cross Greenland and returned to
hoadquartors, which were reachod on April
20.
Tho party was absent forty-flvo days and
only got 130 miles away. It startod with
ninety-two dogs and returned with only
twenty-six, after having abandoned all the
sledgos on tho way. It covered only n
quartor of tho distance necessary and never
made more than twenty miles in any day.
Tho members of tho party assert that their
experience in tho equinoctial gales was
worse than that of any previous Arctic ex
plorers. All had very narrow escapes from
being frozen to death. Davidson was bick.
for four months after his experience. En
trekin had both his feet badly frost-bitten.
After the party regained health other ex
plorations in the neighborhood wero organ
feed. Afitrup mado a survey of tho unex
plored part of the coast of Melville Bay an 1
charted 150 mllesof it. He had a native crow
Of five men to help him.
Lieutenant Peary and his wife mado a
slodgo journey to Olrike Bay, 100 miles dis
tant. Entrekin and Dr. Vincent starto 1 to
try to reach Kane's winter quarters at Lit
tleton Island, but the loo broke up, ocmp jl
llng them to return.
The auxiliary expedition, which sailed
from hero on July 7 on board the
steamer Falcon, met with a groat deal ot
Ice, and the steamer was seriously
hampered in her operations. She had
extreme difficulty in making her way
through the ice floes and only sighted
Bowdoln Bav on July 23. Then an icc
paok thirty-nve miles wide prevented com
munication with, the shore until Au ,'ust 11,
and the steamer only anchored in Falcon
Harbor on August 20. She found all the
reary party In good neaUh and spirits and
glnd of the opportunity to return home
While going north tho Falcon snarchml
Carey Islands. Capo Faraday and Clarence
Head, but found no traces of the long miss
ing Swedish explorers Bjorldin an l Kal
Btenlus. who sailed from hero in Jnne,
1892. in the little schooner 'PPle- ,
death Is now regarded as certain. Tho Fal
ron secured some rollcs on Carey Islands
and buried a skeleton tsupposod to be that
of a sailor.
Lleutenent Peary decided to remain n
Pthor year In the North and try to cross
Greenland next yar. Lee and Hensen
agreed to remain with him.
After tho combined parties had engaged in
a hunt preparations for departure were
mado on August 26. Mrs. Peary, her daugh
ter, airs. Cross, no nurse, and an JEsqmman
rirl attendant were taken aboard and the
Falcon started southward.
Mr. Peary decided to accompany the ship
to Cape York to superintend shipping ft
meteorite whioh ho had e xaminod while on
l s!dge Journey, and arriving at Cape York
on August 27 the io of the cape was found
intaet. and thus all hope of reaching the
meteorite, twenty miles distant, was dls-

The despatch staPn that Admiral

Taking tho (Jlilnoso lst view i lc
