TALMAGE DRAWS A FROM THE CHASE. - LESSON Man la Like the Hart Fleclaff From the DoKt-rnrmrd by sin, rie Find Safety and Refreshment In the Wa ters of Eternal Life. Copyright. 1S3S. by American Press Aaao ciatloa.1 Waetung tox, Oct 2. Dr. Talmase, drawing his illustrations from a deer hunt in this discourse calls all the pu reed and troubled of the earth to come and slake their thirst at the deed river of divine comfort; text Psalms xlii, 1, "As the hart panteth-after the water brooks, so pantcth my soul after thee, OGod:" I David, who must some time have seen a deer hunt points ns hero to a hunted stag making for the water. iThe fasci nating animal called in my text the hart is tho same animal that in sacred and profane liteiature is called the stag, tbe roebuck, the hinc, the gazelle, the rein deer. In central Syria, in Bible times, there were w.hole pasture fields of them, as Solomon suggests when he eays,, "I charge you by the hinds of ,tho field." Their antlers jutted from the long grass as they lay down. No shunter who has been long in "John Brown's tract" will wonder that in the Bible they were classed among clean animals, for the dews, the showers, the lakes, washed them as clean as the sky. When Isaac the patriarch longed for venison, Esau shot and brought home a roebuck. Isaiah compares tne sprlgntlmess ox tne re stored cripple of millennial times to the long and quick Jump of the stag, say ing, "The lame shall leap as the hart" Solomon expressed, his disgust at a hunt' er who, having shot a deer, is too lazy td cock it saying, "The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting." But one day David, while far from the home from which he had been driven,, and sitting near the mouth of .a lonely care where he had lodged, and on the tanks of a pond or river, hears a pack erf acmadain twif ft imnxrit JBmajiat of tha pwrircs silence of the f crest ts cJacrrff rtarthji bid, and he tay to himself, "I wonder what those dog? are after." Then there Is a crackling in the brash wood, and the loud breatbrng cf some rushing wonder of the woods. and the antlers cf a deer rend the leaves cf the thicket and by an instinct which all hnntera recognize 'the creature plnngvs into a pool or lake or river to cool its thirst and at the same time by its capacity for swifter and longer swimming to get away from the foam ing harriers. David says to himself: s Aha, that is myself 1 Saul after me, Absalom after xne, -enemies without number after-me: I. am chased; their bloody muzzles at my heels, barking at my good name, barking after my body. barking after my soul. Ob, the hounds, the hounds I But look there," says Da vid to himself; "that reindeer has splashed into the. water. It puts its hot lips and nostrils into the cool wave that washes its lathered flanks and it swims away from the fiery canines and it is free at last Ob. that I might find in the deep, wide lake of God's mercy and consolation escape from my pursuers! Oh, for the waters of life arid rescue 1 'As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, OGod.'" The Bible True to Nature. The Adirondacks are now populous with hunters, and the deer are being slain by tho score. Talking one summer with a hunter, I thought I would like to sco whether my text was accurate in its allusion, and as I heard tho dogs bay ing a little way off and supposed they were on the track of a deer, I said to one of the hunters in rough corduroy, "Do tho deer always make for water when they are pursued?" Hesaid: "Oh, yes, mister. You see they are a hot and thirsty animal, and they know where the water is, and when they hear dan gcr in tho distance they lift their ant lers and sniff the breeze and start for the Raquet or Loon or Saranao, and we get into: our cedar shell boat or stand by the 'runaway with rifle loaded and ready. to blaze away." My friends, that is one reason why I like tho Bible so -much its allusions are so true to nature. Its partridges are real partridges, its ostriches leal ostrich es and its reindeer real reindeer. I do not wonder that this antlered glory of the text makes the hunter 'e eye sparkle and his cheek glow and his respiration quicken. To say nothing of its useful ness, although it is the most useful of all game, its flesh delicious, its skin turned into human -apparel, its sinews fashioned into bowstrings, its antlers putting handles on cutlery and the shavings of its horn used as a pungent restorative, the name taken from the hart and called hartshorn. But putting aside ' its usefulness, this enchanting creature seems made out of gracefulness and elasticity.- "What an eye, with a liq Mii. brightnees as If fathered ep firtinrft hnadred rmkM at sunset I Tb horns, a cornal branching into every possible curve, and after 1ft teems complete as cending into other projections of ex quisireness, a tree of polished bone, up lifted in pride or swung down for awful combat The hart is velocity embodied; timidity impersonated; the enchant ment of the woods. Its eye lustrous in life tod pathetic in death. The splendid animal a complete rhythm of muscle and bone and color and attitude and locomotion whether couched in the grass among the shadows or a living bolt shot through the forest, or turning at bay to attack the hounds, or rearing for its last fall under the buckshot of the trap per. I It is a splendid appearance that the painter's pencil fails to sketch, and only a hunter's dream on a pillow of hemlock at the foot of St. Regis is able to picture. When 20 miles from any set tlement it comes down at eventide to L the lake's edge to drink among the lily pods and with its . sharp edged nooisnat ters the crystal of Long lake it is very picturesque.

Like a Deer at Day, Well, now, let all those who have coming after them the lean hounds of dx)verty, oi the black hounds of persecu tion, or the spotted hounds of vicissi tude, or the pale hounds of death, or who are. in anywise pursued, run to the wide, deep, glorious lake of divine solace and resoue. The most of the men and women whom I happened to know at different times, if not now, have had trouble after them, sharp muzzled trou bles, swift! troubles, all devouring trou bles. Many of you have made the mis take of trypg to fight them. Somebody meanly attacked you, and you attacked them ; they depreciated . you, you de preciated them, or they overreached you in a bargain, and you tried, in Wall street parlance, to get a corner on them, or you have had a bereavement' and instead off being submissive you are fighting that bereavement You charge on the doctors who failed to effect a cure, or you charge on the carelessness of the'railrpad company through which the accident occurred, or you are a chronic invalid, and you fret and wor ry and scold and wonder why you can not be well like other people, and you angrily blatue the neuralgia, or the lar yngitis, or; the ague, jor tbe sick head ache. The fact is you are a deer at bay. Instead of running to the waters of di vine consolation and slaking your thirst and cooling your body and soul in the good cheer of the gospel and swimming away into, the mighty deeps of God's love you are fighting a whole kennel of harriers, j j I saw in the Adirondacks a dog lying across the toad, and he seemed unable to get up, and I said to some hunters near by, 'iWhat. is the matter with that dog?'ls They answered, "A deer hurt Was.! Aa4 I sa& ke bad a ircrcttea paw and a ba4rr4 bod, com Id3 wbera tbe antlers ttrtKA him. Ad the probability Is thai some of you might give a mighty cltp to your pur 6uera yoa might damage their business, you might? worry them liito HI health, you might short them as much as they have hurt (you, but after all it is not worth whila You only have hurt a hound. Better be off for the upper Sar anao, into which the mountains of God's eternal strength look: down and moor their shadows. As for your physical dis orders, thel worst strychnine you can take is fretfulness, and the best medi cine is religion. I knowpeople who were only a little disorderedj yet have fretted themselves into complete valetudinarianism, while others put itheir trust in God and come up from the very shadow of death and have lived comfortably 25 years with only one lung. A man with one ' lung, but God with him, is better off ' than a godless man with two lungs. Some of you have been for a long time sailing around Cape Fear when you ought to have been, sailing around Cape Good Hope? Do; not turn back, but go ahead. The deer will accomplish more with its swift feet than with its horns. - . Waters of Comfort. I saw Whole chains of lakes in tne Adirondacks, and from' one height you can see 80, and there are said to be over 800 in the great wilderness of New York. So near are they to each other that your mountain guide picks up and carries the - boat from Jake to lake, the small distance between them for that reason called a "carry.f And the realm of God's rword is one long chain of bright, refreshing lakes, each promise a lake, a very short carry between them, and 'though for ages the pursued have been drinking out'of them they are full up to the top of ' the green banks, and the same; David describes them, and they seem so near together that in three different places he speaks of them as a continuous river, saying, "There is a river the I streams whereof shall mane glad the city of God:" "Thou shalt make them drink of the rivers of thy pleasures;" "Thou greatly enriches t it with the river of God,! which is full of water." ! 1 But many cf you'have turned your back on that supply apd. confront your trouble, and you are. soured with your circumstances, and you are fighting so ciety, and yon are fighting a pursuing world, and troubles, instead of driving you into the cool lake of heavenly com fort, have made you stop and turn around and lower your head, and it is simply antler against tooth. I do not blame you. Probably under the same circumstances I would have done worse. But you are all wrong. You need to do as the reindeer does in eoruary ana- March it sheds its horns. The rabbin ical writers allude to this resignation of antlers by the stag when they say of a man vho vraJtre bU money in risky en terprises, VHs has hung it on the stag's horns," and a proverb in the far east tells a man who has foolishly lost his fortune to go and find where the deer sheds her horns. My brother, qufft the antagonism of your circumstances quit misanthrophy, quit complaint, quit pitching into your pursuers, be as wise as' next spring will be all the deer of the Adirondacks. Shed your horn a s The fredeemer'a; Reward. But ver& many of you who are wronged of the world and if in any assembly between here and Golden Gate, San Francisco, it were asked that all those that had been sometimes badly treated shbuld raise ; both their hands and full response should be made, there would be twice as many hands lifted as persons present -I say many of you would declare, "We have always done the best wet could and tried to be useful, and why we should become the victims of realignment or invalidism or mishap, is inscrutable.'' Why, do you know the finer a deer and the more . elegant its proportions, and thq more beautiful its bearing, the more anxious the hunt ers and the hounds are to capture it? naa tne roebuck a raised fur and broken hoofs and an obliterated eye and a limping gait the hunters would have said, "Pshaw, don't let us waste our ammunition on a sick deer." And the hounds would have given a few sniffs of the scent and then darted off in an other direction for better game. But when they see a deer with antlers lifted in mighty challenge to j earth and sky, and the sleek hide looks as if it had been smoothed by invisible hands, and the fat sides inclose tbie richest pasture that could be nibbled from the banks' of rills so clear they seem to have dropped out of heaven, and the stamp of its foot denes the jack shooting lantern and the rifle, the horn and the- hound, that deer they will have if they must needs break their necks in the rapids, j So if there were no I noble stuff in your make up. if you were a bifurcated nothmg, if you WTAM A T A.l AMI W n 1 n W i- mam .i 1 a allowed to go undistutbed, but the fact that.the whole pack is. In full cry after you is proof positive that you are splen did game and worth capturing. ; There fore sarcasm draws on, you ' its "finest bead. Therefore thei world goes gun ning for you with its best Maynard breechloader. Highest compliment is it to your talent or your .virtue or your usefulness. You will be assailed in pro portion to your great achievements. The best and the mightiest being the world ever saw had set after him all the hounds, I terrestrial and diabolic, and they lapped his blood after the Calva rean massacre. The world paid nothing to its Redeemer but la bramble, four spikes and across. Many who have done their best ta make the world better have had such a rough time of it that all their pleasure is in anticipation of the next world, and they could express their own feelings in the words bf the Baroness pt Nairn at the close of her long life, when asked if she would like to live her life over again: "Would you be younff "ag-aln?

' Yes, for some people in this world there seems no let up. They a ie pursued from youth to manhood and from man hood into old age. Very distinguished are Lord Stafford's hounds, the Earl of Yarborough's hounds and the Duke of Rutland's hounds, and Queen Victoria pays $8,500 a year jto her master 'of buckhounds. But all of them put togeth er do not equal in number or speed or power tb hunt down the great kennel of hounds of which sin and trouble are owner and master, j j I, ? But what is a relief for all this pur suit of trouble and annoyanoe and pain and. bereavement? My text gives i t to you in a word of three letters, but each letter is a chariot if yon would triumph, or a throne if you want to be crowned, or a lake if you would slake your thirst yes, a chain of three lakes G-0-D the one for whom David longed, and the one whom David found. You might, as well meet a stag which after its sith mile of running at the topmost speed through thicket and gorge, and with the breath of the dogs on its heels, has come in full sight of Soroon lake, and try to cool its projecting and blistered tongue with a droD ' of dew from a blade I of grass as to attempt to satisfy an immor tal soul when flying from trouble and sin with anything less deep and high and broad and immense and infinite and eternal than God.' His comfort why, it embosoms all distress. His arm, it wrenches off all bondage.. His hand, it wipes away . all tears. His Christly atonement, it makes ns all right wth the past and all right; with the future, all right with God and all right with man and all right forever, s Lamartine tells us that Kins Nimrod said to his three sons: "Here jare three vases, and one is of clay, another of amber and another of gold. Choose now which you will have." The eldest son, having firsti choice, chose the vase of gold, on which was written the word ' Empire," and when opened it was found to- contain human blood. The second son,' making the next choice, chose the vase of am ber, inscribed with the word "Glory," and when opened it contained the ashes of those who were once called great The third son took the rase of clay, and, opening it, found it empty, but on the bottom of it was inscribed the name of God. King Nimrod j asked his courtiers which vase they thought weighed the most The avaricious men of his court said the rase of gold.l The poets said the one of amber, but the wisest men said the empty vase, because one letter of the name of God outweighed a tmivs8. hint J ttrirtt, fer his grace X beak oa Jtis promise I bnlld my alL Without him I cannot be happy.! I have tried the world, and it does Well snough as far as it goes, but it is too uncertain; a world, too evanescent' j a world. I an not a prejudiced witness. ; I have noth mg against this world. I have been one of the most fortunate, or, to use a more Christian word, one tif the most blessed of men blessed in niy parents, blessed in the place of my na tivity, blessed in my health, blessed in my field of work, blessed" in my natural temperament blessed in my family,! blessed in my op portunities, blessed . in a comfortable livelihood, blessed in. the. hope that my soul will go to heaven through the par doning mercy of God, and my body, un-. less it be lost at sea or cremated in some conflagration, will lie down in the gar dens of Greenwood among my kindred and friends, some already gone and oth ers to coma after me. Life to many has been a disappointment,! bat to me it has been a pleasant surprise, and yet I de- clare that If I did not feel. that God was now my friend and ever present help I should be wretched and terror stricken. But I want more of him. I nave thought over this text and preached this sermon to myself until with all the aroused energies of my body, mind and soul I can cry out, "As the hart panteth after the water brocks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Through Jesus Christ make this God your God, and you can withstand .any thing and everything, and that which affrights others will inspire you. As in time of an earthquake when an old Christian woman was asked whether she., was scared, answered, "No, I am glad that I have a God who can shake the world," or, as in a financial pania, wJqen a Christian merchant was asked if he did not fear ho would break, an swered: "les, I shall break when the Fiftieth Psalm breaks in the fifteenth. 1 verse, 'Call upon me in the day of trou ble; I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me, " Ob, Christian men and women pursued of annoyances and ex asperations, remember that this hunt, whether a still hunt ora hunt in full cry, will soon be over. If ever a whelp looks ashamed and ready to. slink out of sight, it is when in the Adirondacks a deer by one tremendous plunge into Big Tupper lake gets away from him. The disappointed canine swims in a little way, , but defeated, swims out again and cringes with humiliated yawn , at the feet of his master. And how abashed and ashamed will all your earthly trou bles be when you have dashed into the. river from under the throne of God, and the heights and depths of heaven are between you and your pursuers. i; The Eternal Brook.. i" We are told in Revelation xxil, 15, "Without are dogs," by which I j con elude there is a whole kennel of hounds outside the gate of heaven, or, as when a master goes in through a door hid dog lies on the steps waiting for him to come out so the troubles of this life may f ol low us to' the shin ing dopi but; tb ey cannot get in. " Without are dogs I" I have seen dogs and owned dogs that I Wtta&Aot ,Jbs GhgesAmd to saata the htreaitcttyt 6oxa of tfca on4 aid TwrtdWNgi w&amo tb e&itftaUd&ry of the homes la selftary saces aad for :j ctxc jaavo uwu ciro vmj Wife and cbiid, some of the shepherd dogs that drive back tb wolves and bark away the flocks from going too. near the precipice, and some of tbadogs rwhose hcks sad paws Landseer, the painter, 'has made immortal, would not find me shutting them out from the gate of shining pearl. Some of those old St. Bernard dogs that have lifted perishing travelers out of the Alpine snow, the dog that John Brown, the Scotch eepay ist, saw ready to spring at the surgeon lest in removing the cancer he too pinch hurt the poor woman whom the dog felt bound to protect, and dogs that we ca ressed in our' childhood days or that in later time lay down on the rug in seem ing sympathy when our honiesjwere desoUted: 1 I say, if some soul entering heaven should happen to leave the gate ajar' and theso faithful creatures should quietly walk in it would not at all dis turb my heaven. But all those bfuman or brutal hounds that have chasdjd and torn and lacerated the world y6a, all that now bite or worry or tear to pieces shal be prohibited; "Without are dogs I" No place there for harsh critics or backbiters or despoilers of the reputa tiohs of others. Down with, you to the kennels of darkness and despair! The hart has reached the eternal water brooks, and the panting of the long chase is Quieted in still pastures and ' there shall nothing hurt or destroy in all. God's holy mountain " v V Ob, when some of you get there, it will be like what a hunter tells of when pushing his canoe far up north in the winter and amid the ice floes and 100 miles, as he. thought, from, any other human beings 1 He was startled one day as he heard a stepping on the ice, and he cocked the rifle, ready to meet any thing that came near. He found a man,4 barefooted and insane from long expor sure, approaching him. Taking him into his canoe and kindling fires to, warm him, he . restored him and found out where he had lived and took him to his home and found all the village" in great excitement. A hundred men were searching for this lost man, and his family and friends rushed out to meet him, and, as had been agreed at his first appearance, bells were rung and guns were nrea ana oanqueis epreaa and the' rescuer loaded with presents. Well, when some of you step out of this wilderness, where you have been chilled and torn and ' sometimes lost amid the icebergs, into the warm greetings of all the villages of the j glorified and your friends rc.-u out to give you welcoming kissj tb6 iu ws that there is another soul forever sa ved -will call the caterers of heaven tr. reread the banquet and the bellmen lo lay bold of the rope in the tower, errl while the chalices click at the feast & r rl the bells clang from the turrets it v ill le a scene so uplifting I way God I mey.be taers to take pari in the celestial merriment "Until tho day break and the shadows fed away be thou like a roe er a youg hart upon the mountains of Bother."
