This sermon of Dr. Talmage rill have a tendency to take the gloom out of many lives and stir up a spirit of healthful anticipa tion; text,; Job xxxrii, 21, "And now men as aot the bright light which is in the clouds.? Ii Wind east. Barom e ter fall in g. fi t arm signals out' Bhip reefing main topsail. Awnings taken In. Prophecies of foul weather everywhere. The clouds con gregata around the tun, prosposing to abolish him. But after awhile he assails the flanks of ths clouds with flying ar tillery of light and here and there is a sign of clearing weather. Many do not obsarra It Many do not realize it "And now men see sot the bright light which is in the clouds.". In other words, there are a hundred men looking for storm where there is ' one man look ing for sunshine.' My object will be to get yon and myself into the delightful hshit of making the best of every thing. Ton may have wondered at - the sta tistics that in India; la the year 1875, thsre were over 19,000 people slain by wild beasts, and that in the year 1876 there were In India over 20,000 people destroyed by wild animals.' But there is a monster in oar own land whioh is year by year destroying more than that It Is the old bear of melancholy, and with gospel weapons I propose to chase It back to its midnight caverns. I mean to do two tums a sum - in subtraction and a sum in addition a subtraction from your days of depression and an ad dltlon to your days of joy. If God will help' me, I will compel you to see the bright light that there is in the clouds and compel yon to make the best of ev erything. In the first plaoe, yon ought to make the very best of all your financial mis I fortunes. During the panic a few years ago yon all lost money. Some of you lost it in most unaccountable ways. For the question, "How many thousands of dollars shall I put aside this year?" yon substituted the ! question, "How shall I pay my butcher' and' baker and clothier and landlord?" Yon had the sensation of rowing hard with two oars and yet all the time going down stream. A Daatroylnff Power. . Yon did not say much about it be cause it was not politlo to speak much of financial embarrassment, but your wife knew. Leas variety of wardrobe, more economy at the table, self denial in art and tapestry. Compression; re trenchment . Who did not feel the ne cessity of it? My friend, did you make the best of this? . Are you aware of now narrow an' escape you made? v Suppose yon had reached the fortune toward t mm ei TTTl . A wmon yon were rapioiy going r vuus then? Yon would have been as proud as Lucifer. -: , How few men have succeeded largely in a financial Sense and yet maintained their simplicity and religious consecra tion 1 Not one man out of a hundred. There are glorious exceptions, but the general rule is that in proportion as a man gets. well off for this world he gets poorly off for the next He loses his sense of dependence on God. He gets a distaste for prayer meetings. With plenty of bank stocks and plenty of gov ernment securities, what does that man know of the prayer, "Give me this day my daily bread?" How few men largely successful in this world are bringing souls to Christ, or showing self denial for others or are eminent for piety? You can count them all upon your eight fin gers and two thumbs. One of the old covetous souls, when he was sick and sick unto death, used to have a basin brought in a basin fill ed with gold and his only amusement and the only relief he got for his in flamed hands was running them down through the' gold and turning it up in the basin.1 Oh, what infatuation and what destroying power . money has for many a man I Now, yon were sailing at 80 knots the hour toward these vortices of worldliness what a mercy it was, that honest defalcation!' The same di vine hand that crushed your storehouse, your bank, your office, your insurance company, lifted yon out of destruction. The day yon honestly suspended in busi ness made your fortune for eternity. "Oh," you ' say, "I could get along very well myself, but I am so disap pointed that I cannot leave a competence for my children." My brother, the same financial misfortune that is going to save your soul will save your children. With the anticipation of large xortune, how much industry would your chil dren have, without which habit of In dustry there ia no safety? The young man would say; " Well, there's no need of my working. My father will soon step out, and then I'll have just what I want" Yon cannot hide from him how much you are worth. You think you are hiding it He knows all about It He can tell yon almost to a dollar. Perhaps he has been to the county office and searched the records of deeds and mort gages, and he has added 4t all up, and he has made an estimate of how long yon will probably slay iff this world and is not as much worried about your rheumatism and shortness of breath as yon are. The only fortune worth any- thing that yon can give your cnna is the fortune yon put in his head and heart! Of all the young men who start ed life with 4 0,000 capital how many turned out well? I do not know half a dozen,' ' ; ; Tl Beet Iaherltanoe. The . best inheritance a young man can hare is the feeling that he has to fight hii own battle and that life is a itrnrele into which he. must throw body, mind and seal or be disgracefully j of the men who started life with a fortune? Some of them in the potter's field, some in the suicide's grave. But few of these men reached 35 years of age. They drank, they smoked, they gambled. In them the ; beast aestroyed the man. Some of them lived long enough to get their fortunes and went ' through them. The vast majority of them did not live to set their inheritance. From the gin shop or bouse of . infamy they - were brought home to their father's house, and in delirium began to pick off loath some reptiles from the embroidered pil low and to fleht back imaginary devils. And then they were laid out in highly uDholstered narlor. ihe casket covered with flowers by indulgent parents- cowers suggestive cl a resurrection witn UVMivjigi !'i j i As vou sat this morning at your breakfast table and looked into the faces of your children, perhaps you said within yourself : "Poor things! Howl wish I could start them in, life with a competence ! How I have been disap pointed in all my expectations of what I would do for them If Upon that scene of pathoB I break with a paean of con gratulation that by your financial losses your own prospects for heaven and the prospect for the heaven of your children are mightily improved. You may have lost a toy, but -you have won a palace. "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God !' "It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of! heaven." What does that mean? It means that the grandest blessing God ever bestowed upon yon was to take your money away from you.' Let me here say, in passing, do not put much stress on the treasures of this world. You cannot take them along with jrou. At any rate, yon can not take them more than two or three L miles; you will have to leave them at the cemetery. Attila naa three coffins, bo fond was he of this life that he decreed that first he should be' buried in a coffin of gold and 'that then that should be in closed in a coffin of silver and that should be inclosed in a coffin of iron, and then a large amount of treasure should be thrown "in over his body. And so he was. buried, and the men who buried him were slain, so' that no one -?rWif Irnrcrrf toViqtq hot nca a hnripfl " nnrl no one migllt there interfere with his treasures. Oh, men of the world, who want to take your money with you, bet ter have three coffins 1 j Helpful Thoughte. Again, I remark, you ought to1 make the verv best of your bereavements. The whole j tendency Is to brood over these senarations. and to eive much time to the handling of mementos of the departed, and to make long visita tions to the cemetery, and to say: "Un, I can never look-up again. My hope is - m a gone; my courage is gone; my, religion is gone ; my faith in God is gone. On, the wear and tear and exhaustion of this loneliness." The most freauent be reavement is the loss of children. If your departed child had lived as long as you have lived, do you1 not suppose that he would have had about the same amount of ; trouble and trial that you have had? If vou could make a choice for your chi)d between 40 years of an noyance, loss, vexation, exasperation and bereavements and 40 years in neav-m- wonld vou take the responsibility of choosing; the former? Would you snatch away the cup i of- eternal bliss and nut into that child's hands the cup of many bereavements?. Instead of the complete safety into whioh that child has been lilted would you line to noia it down to the risks of this mortal state? Would'you tlike to keep it out on a sea in which there have been more ship wrecks than safe voyages? Is it not a comfort to you to know that that child, instead of being besoiled and flung into the mire of sin, is swung clear into tne b1Hp? Are riot those children to be con gratulated that the point of celestial bliss which I you expect to reacn Dy. a pilgrimage of 50 or 60br 70 years they reached at !a flash? If the last 10,000 children whb' had entered heaven had crone through the average of human Hfe on earth, are you sure "all those 10,000 cnnaren wouiu uuvb.mubuj wawiou blissful terminus? Besides that, my tn look at this matter as a self denial on your part, for their . - .. M benefit If your children want to go on in a Mav dav nartv. if your children want to goon a flowery and musical ex cursion, you consent. You might prefer to have them with you,' but tneir judi- Jant absence satisfies you. Well, your departed children have only gone out m a May day party, amid flowery and mu sical entertainment, amid joys ana ni larities forever. That I ought to quell some of you grief, the thought of their glee. f ! - So it ouaht to be that you could make the best of ail bereavements. The fact that you have so many friends in heaven will make your own departure very cheerful. When you ar going on a voy age, everything depends upon where your friendsfare if they are on the wTmrf f hat rnn Ifiavfl or on the wharf a a mm eh j - toward which you are going to sail. In other words, the more friends you have in heaven the easier itlwill be to get away from tnis world. The more friends here the mofe 'bitter goodbye; the more friends there the more glorious wel comes: Some of ou have so many nisters." children, friends in heaven thatjl do not know hardly how you are going to crowd jthrough. When the vessel catne from foreign lands and brought a prince to our. harbor, the ships were covered with bunting, and you rememqer now tne men-oi-wax thundered broadsides; but tnere-was no joy there compared with the joy which shall be demonstrated.when you sail up the broad bay of heavenly salutation. ThQ more friends you have there the Jier your own transit What is deatn en? ' thy, there is no more grief in it than there is in her going into a nursery amid the romn and laughter of her household. Though all: around may be lark, see yon not the bright ligns in tne worsted. Where are the burial ulaces clouds that light the irradiated faces of your glorified kindred? I ; . Making- the Worst of Thing. . So also, my friends, I j would have vou make the best of vonr sicknesses. When yon see one move off with elastio sten and in full nhvsical Ivisror. some- j W times you become impatient with your lame root wnen a man describes an object a mile off, and you cannot see it at all, you become Impatient of your dim eye. When you hear of a well man making a great achievement, you be come impatient with your depressed nervous system or your : dilapidated neaitn. l will . tell you now you can make the Worst of it Brood over it: brood over all these illnesses, and your nerves will become more J twitcny and your ajepepEia . mure aggruvateu, aiiu your weakness more appalling. But that is the devil's work, to 'tell you how to make the worst of it It is my work to show you a bright light in the clouds. Which of the Bible menj most attract your attention? You sayj Moses, Job, David, Jeremiah, Paul. Vhy, what a strange thing it is that you have chosen those who were physically disordered 1 Moses I know, he was nervous from the clip he gave the Egyptian. Job bis blood was vitiated - and diseased, and his skin distressfully eruptive. ; David he had a running sore, which he speaks of when he says, 4 ?My sore ran in the night and ceased not", Jeremiah had enlargement of the spleen. Who can doubt it who reads Lamentations? Paul he had a lifetime sickness which the commentators have been guessing about for yars, not knowing exactly what the apostle meant by "a thorn in the, flesh. " I do not know either, but1 it was some thing sharp, something that stuck him. I gather from all this that physical dis order may be the means of grace to the soul. You say you have soj many tempta tions from bodily ailments and if you were only well you think! you could be a good Christian. While your tempta-- tions may be different they are no more than those of the man whb has an appe tite three times a day and sleeps eight hours every night. 1 Views of Heaven. From my observation j I judge tht invalids have a more rapturous view, of the next world than well people and will have higher renown in heaven. The best view of the delectable moun tains is through the lattice of the sick room. There are trains running every hour between pillow arid throne, be tween 'hospital and mansion, between bandages and robes, between crutcn ana calm branch. Oh. I wish some of you people who are compelled j to cry : " My head, my head! My foot, my tooti juy back, my baokl" would try some of the Tjords medicine! Y'ou are going to be well anyhow, before long. Heaven is ah old city, but has never yet reported one case of sickness or one bill of mortality. No ophthalmia for the eye." No pneu monia for the lungs. No pleurisy ior, tne i - . : side. No neuralgia for tne nerves, xmo rheumatism for the muscles. "The in habitants shall never say I am sick, s "There shall be no more pain. " Acrain. vou ought to make the best of life's finality. Now, you think I have a very tough subject. You do not see how I am to strike a spark of ; light out of the flint of the tombstone. .There are many people who have an idea that death Is tne submergence ui every uimg cleasant bv everything doleful. If my subject could close in thej upsetting of - - . . .1 ..ill si.' IA all such preconceive notions, ig wuuu close well. Who can judge best of the futures of a man those Who are close by him, or those who are afar off? "Oh," you say, "those can judge best of the features of a man who are close by him. - I Now, my friends, who shall judge of the features of death whether they are lovely or whether they are repulsive)? You? You are too far off. j U l wane to get a judgment as; to What really the fflfttnres of death are. I will not ask you; I will ask those who have been within a month of death or a week j of. death or an hour of death or a minute of death. They stand so,: near the features, they can tell. They give unanimous testi mony, if they are Christian people, that Atxnth. instead of being demoniac, is cherubic. Of all the thousands of Chris tians who have been carried through -the catea of the cemefery, gather up their dying experiences and you wili find they nearly .all bordered on a -juoiiaie. How often you have seen a dying man inln in the psalm being sung around his bedside, the middle pf the verss opening tr lAt his ransomed spirit free, long after the lips codld not speak looking and pointing upward. ' j Not God's Beat Work. Some of you talk as though God had exhausted himself in building, tbis world and that all the rich curtajns he ever made he hung around this planet and all the flowers he ever grew he has woven into the carpet of our daisied meadows. No. This world is not tne hast thing God can do; this world is not the best thing that God has done. One week of the year is called, blos som week called so all through the land because there are more Jblossoms in that week than in any otner. weeK oi tho vp.ar. Blossom week I And that is what the future world is to which the Ohristain is invited blossom week for ever. It is as far ahead of this world as rtaradisa is ahead of Dry Tortngas, and yet here we stand shivering and fearing to go out, and we want to stay on the dry sand and amid tbe stormy petreie,. whehwe are invited to arbors of jas mine and birds of paradise. One season I had two springtimes. 1 went to New Orleans in April, and I marked the difference between going to ward New Orleans and! then coming hack. As I went on down toward New 'Orleans the verdure, the foliage, became thicker and more beautiful. When 1 came back, the farther I came toward home the less the foliage, and less and less it became until there was hardly any. Now, it all depends upon the di tectioh in which you travel. If a spirit from heaven, snould come- toward our world., he is traveling from June toward December, from radiance toward dark- ness, ; from hangingvgafdena toward ice bergs. And one would hot be very fciuch surprised if a spirit of God sentlforth from heaven toward our world should be slow to come. But how strange it is that we dread going out toward that world when going is from December to ward June, from the snow of earthly storm to the snow of Edenio blossom, from the' arctics of trouble toward the tropics of eternal joy. j Oh, what an ado about dying!. We get soj attached to the malarial marsh in which we live that we are afraid to go up and 1 ive on the h illtop. We are alarmed because vacation is coming internal snniignt and be6t programme of celestial minstrels and halleluiah no inducement Let us stay here and? keep cold and ignorant and weak. Do not in troduce Us to Elijah and John Milton and Bourdaloue. Keep our feet on the sharp cobblestones of earth instead of planting them cn the bank of amaranth in heaven. Give.us this small island of a leprous world instead of the immen sities of splendor and delight Keep our hands full of nettles, and our shoulder under the burden, and our neck in the yoke, and hopples on our ankles! and handcuffs on our wrists. "Dear Lord," we seem to say, "keep us down here where we have to suffer instead of let ting us up Where we might live and teign and rejoice." . -'."' Death. Is True Ufe. I am amazed I at myself and at yonr self for this infatuation under Which we all rest. .Men you would, suppose would get frightened at having toe stay in this world instead of getting fright ened at having to go toward heaven. I congratulate anybody who has a ight to die. By that I mean through sickness you cannot avert or through accident you cannot avoid yonr work consum mated. "Where did they bury Lily?" said one little child to another. "6b," she replied, "they buried her In; the ground. ' " What ! In the cold ground?" "Oh, no, no, not in the cold ground, but in the warm grounds where jbgly seeds become beautiful flowers." "But," says some one, "it pains me so much to think that I must los4 the body with which my soul has so iong companioned." You do not lose it. jjYou no more lose your body by death than you lose your watch when you senp it to have it repaired or your jewel jfhen you send it to have it reset or the faded picture when, you send it to have it touched up or the phdtograph of a friend when you have it put in a hew locket You do not lose your body. Paulfwill go to Rome to get his, Payson will go to Portland to get his, President! Ed wards will go to Prinoeton to get George Cookmani will go to the bo of the Atlantio to get his! and we his, torn will go to the village! churchyards and the city cemeteries to get ours, and When we have our perfect spirit rejoined to our perfect body,! then"we will be the kind of men and ..women that the resur rection morning will make possible. So you see you have not made out any doleful story yet. I What have you prbved about death? What is the case you have made out? You have made out just this that death allows us to have a perfect body, free of all aches, united forever with a perfect soul free from allsin. Correct your theology. What does ij all mean? Why, it means that moving day is coming, and that you are going to quit cramped apartments and be roan sioned forever. The horse that stands at the gate will not be the one lathered and bespattered, carrying bad newsj but it will be the horse that St John jfeaw in. Apocalyptic vision the white Morse on which the King comes to the (ban quet. The ground around the palace will quake with the tires and hoofs of celestial equipage, and those Christians who in this world lost their friendaand lost their property and lost their health and lost their life will find out that God was always kind and -that all things worked together for their good and that those were the' wisest people on earth who made the best of every thing.
