The Great Preacher Dratra lasplra- tloa From m Homely Phraae Life, fplrltaal and Pbyalcal. Ia Dlrlnelr Protected. Copyright, by.Amrican Press Aaso- elation. WasiincoTOX, March 5. Under the familiar image of a bundle Dr. Talmage shows in this sermon the things which go to make up man's earthly and heav enly life: text. I Samuel xxv. 29, "The soul of my Lord shall be bound in the bundle cf life with the Lord thy God." Beautiful Abigail, in her rbylhtuic pica for the rescue of her inebriate hus band, who died within ten days, ad dresses David.tbe warrior," in the words of the text. She suggests that his life, physically and intellectually and spirit ually, is a valuable package or bundle, divinely bound np and to be divinely protected. The phrase "bundle of life" I heard many times in my lather's family pray ers ramiiy prayers, you know, nave frequent repetitions, because -day by day they acknowledge about the same blessings and deplore about the same frailties and sympathize with about the same misfortunes, and I do not know why.those who lead at household devotions should seek variety of com position. That familiar prayer becomes the household liturgy. I would not give one of my old father's prayers for 50 elocutionary supplications. Again and again, in the morning and evening prayer. I heard the request that we might all be bound up in the bundle of life, but I did not know until a few days ago that the phrase was a Bible phrase. ' ; isow. the more I think of it the bet ter I like it. Bundle of life I It is such a simple and unpretending, yet express ive comparison. There is nothing like grandiloquence in the Scriptures. While there are many sublime passages in Holy v rit, there are more passages homely and drawing illustrations from common observation and everyday life. in i-urist s great sermons you near a len clucking her chickens together, and see the photographs of hypocrites with sad countenance, and hear of the grass of the field, and the black crows, which our heaveidy Father feeds, and the salt that is worthless, and the precious stones Cung under the feet of swine, and the shifting sand that lets down the house with a great crash, and hear the comparison of the text, the most unpoetical thing we can think of a bund la Ordinarily it is something ossed about, something thrown under the table, something that suggests gar rets or something on the shoulder of a poor wayfarer. But there are bundles of great value, bundles put up with great caution, bundles the loss of which means consternation and despair, and there have been bundles represent ing the worth of a kingdom. Bleaaed Dandle. During the last spell of cold weather there were bundles that attracted the attention and the plaudits of the high heavens, handles of clothing on the way from comfortable homes to the door of the mission room, and Christ stood. ill the snow banks and said as the bundles passed: 'Naked, and ye clothed me. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have dene it unto me. " Those bundles are multiplying. Blessings on those who pack them. Blessings on those who dis tribute them. Blessings on those who receive them With what beautiful aptitude did Abigail in my text speak of the bundle of life I Oh. what a precious bundle is life I Bundle of memories, bundle of hopes, bundle of ambitions, bundle of destinies I Once in awhile a man writes his autobiography, and it is of thrilling interest The story of his birthplace, the story of his struggles, the story of his sufferings, the story of his triumphs I But if the autobiography of the most eventful life were well written it would make many chapters of adventure, of tra eedy. of comedy, and there would not be an uninteresting step from cra dle to grave. Bundle of memories are you I Boy hood, memories, with all its injustices from playmates, with all its games with Ilill and bat and kite and sled. Manhood memories, with all your strug gles in starting obstacles, oppositions, accidents, misfortunes, losses, successes. Memories of the first marriage you ever saWsolemnized. of the first grave you ever "eaw opened, of the first mighty wrong you ever suffered, of the first victory yon ever gained. Memory of the hour when you wcro afSanced, memory of the first advent in your home, memory of the roseate cheek faded and ofblue eyes closed in the last sleep, memory of anthem and cf dirge, memory of great pain and of slow convalescence, memory of times when all things were against von. memory of prosperities that came in lika the full tide of the sea. memo ries of a lifetime. What a bundle I 1 lift that bundle today and unloose the cord that binds it. and for a mo ment you look in and see tears and smiles and laughfcr and groans and noondays and midnights of experience, and then I tie again the bundle with 'heartstrings that have some time vi brated with jny and anon been thrum med by fingers of wee. Hopes and Ambittooi. Bundle of hopes and ambitions also is -lct every man and woman, espe cial " th. starting. What gains he will harvt"wtr-.what" reputation he will Bch:er cr what Hiss he will ach. cr wLat l:ve Lo v ill win. What makcacc!!; -a cc:u:::tr. cedent day so entrancing to all cf ; .5 we see the students receive tiitir C ; ! . as and take up the garlands throwu their feet? They will h Faradays in science: they will be Ten ny sons in poesy: they will beWillard Parkers in surgery: they will ba Alexander LTamiltons in na- ", '". tncra Greeley s in editorial chair; they will be We bet era in the senate. Or aha will be a Mary Lyon ii educational realms, or a Frances Willrd on reformatory platform, ot a Helen Gould in military hospitals. Or she will make home life radiant with helpfulness and self sacri fice and magnificent womanhood. Oh, what a bundle of hopes and ambitions I It is a bundle of garlands and scepters fitm which I would not take one sprig of mignonette nor extinguish one spark of brilliance. They who start life with out" bright hopes and 'Inspiring ambi tions might as well not etart at all, for every etep will be a failure. Rather would I add to the bundle, and if I open it now it will not be because I wish to take anything from it, but that I may put into it more coronets and bosannas. Bundle of faculties in every man and every woman 1 Power to think to think of the past and through atf the7 future, to think upward and higher than the highest pinnacle of heaven, or to think downward until there is no lower abysm to fathom. Power to think right, power to think wrong, power to think forever, for, once having begun to think, there shall be no terminus for that exercise, and eternity itself shall have no power to bid it halt Faculties to love filial love, conjugal love, pa ternal love, materihd love, love of coun try, love of God. Faculty of judgment, with scales so delicate and yet so mighty they can weigh arguments, weigh emo tions, weigh worlds, weigh -heaven and hell. Faculty of will, that can climb mountains or tunnel them, wade seas or bridge them, accepting eternal en thronement or choosing everlasting exile. Oh, what it is to be a man I Ob, : what it is to be a woman I Sublime and infinite bundle of faculties I The thought of it staggers me, swamps me, stuns me, bewilders me, overwhelms me. Oh, what a bundle of life Abigail of my text saw in David and which we ought to see in every human yet immortal be- ingl Carefully Wrapped Cp. Know also that this bundle of life was put up with great care. Any mer chant and almost any faithful house holder will tell you how much depends on the way a bundle is bound. The cord or rope must be strong enough to hold. Tbe knot must be well tied. You know not what rough hands may toss that bundle. If not properly put together, though it may leave your hands in good order and symmetrical, before it reaches its proper destination it may be loosened in fragments for - the winds . to scatter or the rail train .to lose. Now, I have to tell you that this bun die of life is well put together the body, the mind, the souL Who but the omnipotent God could bind such a bun die? Anatomists, physiologists, physi cists, logicians, metaphysicians, declare that we are fearfully and wonderfully mada That we are a bundle well put together I prove by the amount of jour neying we can endure without damage, by the amount of rough handling we can survive, by the fact that the vas majority of us go through life without the loss of an eye or the crippling of 1 limb or the destruction of a single ener gy of body or faculty of mind. I sub poena for this trial that man in yonder view 70 or 80 years of age, and ask him to testify that after all the storms and accidents and vicissitudes of a long life he still keeps his five senses, and though all the lighthouses as old: as he is have been reconstructed or new lanterns put in he has in under his forehead the same two lanterns with' ,which God started him, and though the locomotives of 60 years ago were long ago sold for oil iron he has the original powers of locomotion in the limbs with which God started him. and though all the electric wires that carried messages 25 years ago have been torn down his nerves brinir messages from all parts of his body as well as when God strung them 75 years ago. Was there ever such a complete bundle put together as the hu- man being? What a factory I What an engine I What a mill race I Wnat a lighthouse I What a locomotive I What an electric battery I What a furnace I What a masterpiece of the Lord God Almighty I Or, to employ the anticlimax and use the figure of the text, what a bundle I ' Know, also, that this bundle of life is properly directed. Many a bundle has missed its way and disappeared because the address has dropped, and no one can find by examination for what city or town or neighborhood it was intended. All great carrying companies have, so many misdirected packages that they appoint days of vendue to dispose of them. All intelligent people know the importance cf having a valuable pack- a x 3 x 1 - A.t- age riainiy cirecxca. xne nams 01 me one to whom it is to go plainly-written.- Baggage master and expressman ought to know at the first glance to whom to take it. A Valanble Package. This bundle of life that Abigail in my text speaks of is plainly addressed. By divine penmanship it is directed heavenward. However long may be the earthly distance it travels its destina tion is the eternal city of God on high it goes away from that di rection is by some numan or infernal fraud practiced against it There are those who put it on some other track, who misplace it in some wrong convey ance, who send it off or senddt back by some diabolic miscarriage The value of that bundle is so well known all up and down the universe that there are 1,000,000 dishonest hands which are trying to detain or divert it or to for ever stop its progress in the right direc tion. There are so many influences abroad to ruin your : body, mind and soul that my wonder is not that so many are destroyed for this world and the next but that there are not more who go down irremediably. Every human being is assailed at the start Within an hour or the time when this bundle of life is made up the as sault begins- First of all there ar tbe infantile disorders that threaten the body just launched upon earthly exist eace Scarlet fevers and pnenmcnias and diphtherias and influenzas and the whole pack of epidemics surround the cradle and threaten its J occupant, and infant Moses in the ark of bulrushes was not more imperiled by the monsters of the Nile than every cradle is imperil ed by ailments all devouring. In after years there are - foes within and foes without Evil appetite J joined by out side allurements. ; Temptations that have utterly destroyed more people than now inhabit the earth, j Gambling sa loons and rummeries and places where dissoluteness reigns supreme, enough in number to go round and round and round the earth. Discouragements, jeal ousies, revenges, malevolences, disap pointments, swindles, arsons, conflagra tions and cruelties, which make contin ued existence of the human race a won derment Was any valuable bundle ever so imperiled as this bndle of life? Oh, look at tfie address and get that bundle going in the right way I 4tThou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and mind and strength." Heaven with its 12 gates standing widexopen with invitation. All the forces of the Godhead pled for our heavenly arrival if we will do the right thing. All angeldom ready for our advance and guidance. All the lightnings of heaven so many drawn swords for our protection-1 What a pity. what an everlasting pity,! if this bundle of hfe, so well bound and so plainly di rected, does not come out1 at the right station, but becomes a lost bundle, cast out amid the rubbish of the universe Two Treaanrea. Know also that a bundle may have in it mere than one invaluable There maybe in it a photograph of a loved one and a jewel for a carcanet It may contain an embroidered robe and a Dore's illustrated Bible A bundle may have two treasures. Abigail in "my text rec ognized this when she said to David, "The soul of my lord is j bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God. " And Abigail was right j We maybe bound up with a loving and sympa thetic God. We may be as near to him as ever were emerald and ruby united in one ring, as ever were! two deeds in one package, as ever were two vases on thesanje shelf, as ever were two valu ables in fhe same bundle. Together in time of sorrow. Together in time of joy. Together on earth, j Together in heaven. Close companionship cf God., Hear him, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. " "For the monntaina shall depart and the hills j be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the coyenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that Lhath mercy on thee. And when those Bible authors compared God's friend ship to the. mountains for height and firmness they knew what they were writing about, for they well knew what mountains are. All these lands are mountainous. .Mount Hermon, Mount Gilboa, Mount Gerizim, Mount Engedi, Mount Horeb, Mcunt Nebo Mount Pis gah, Mount Olivet, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount Lebanon, Mount Sinai, Mount Golgotha. Yes, we have the di vine promise that all those mountains shall weigh their anchorage of rocks and move away from the earth before a loving and sympathetic God will move away from as if we love and trust him. Oh, if we could realize that according to my 'text we may be bound up. with that God. how independent it would make us of things that now harass and annov and discompose and i torment us I Instead of a grasshopper being a bur den, a world of care would be as light as a feather, and tombstones would be marble stairs to the King's! palace, an all the eiants of .opposition we would smite down hip and thigh! with great slaughter. God Ia Near. A God away up in the heavens is not much consolation to us when we get in to life's struggle. It is a God close by, as near to us as any. two articles of ap parel were near to each other in that bundle that you sent the ether day to that shivering home, through whose roof the snow sifted and through whose broken window pane the night winds howled. It was sanctified irony and holy sarcasm that Elijah used when he told the idolaters of, Baal to pray louder. saying that their god might, be asleep or talking or on a journey or gone a-hunt-ing. But our God is always wide awake and always hears and is always close by and to him a whisper of prayer is as loud as an archangel's trumpet, and a child's "Now I lay me down to sleep" is as easily heard by him as the prayer of the great Scotchman amd the high lands when pursued by Lord Claver- house's miscreants. The Covenanter said. "O Lord, cast the j lap of thy cloak about these children of the cove nant." and a mountain fog instantly hid the pursued from their bloodthirsty pur- suers. 1 proclaim aim a ioa oosa oj. When we are tempted to do wrong, when we have questions of livelihood 00 much for us, when we put our aar- mss into the last sleep, wnen we are overwhelmed with physical distresses, when we are perplexed about what next to do. when we come into combat with the king of terrors, we Want 3 God close by. How do you like the doctrine of the text. VBound in the bundle of life with the Lerd thy God?" Thank W - i you, Abigail, kneeling there at the foot of the mountain, uttering consolation for all ages, while addressing David. No wonder that in after time he invited her to the palace and put her upon the throne of his heart as well as upon the throne of Judah. - j Know, also, that this bundle of life will be gladly received when it comes to the door of the mansion for which it was bound and plainly directed. With what alacrity and glee we await some package that has been foretold by letter, some holiday presentation, 'something that will enrich and ornament our home, some testimony of admiration and affec tion ! With what glow of expectation we untie the knot end take off the cord that holds it together in safety, and with what glad exclamation we unroll the covering and see the gift or pur- chase in all its beauty of color and pro portion, j Well, what a day it will be when your precious bundle of life shall be opened in the "house of many man eions," amid saintly and angelic and divine inspection! The bundle may be spotted with the marks of much ex posure, it may bear inscription.after in scription to tell through what ordeal it has passed, perhaps splashed of wave and tcorched of tame, but all it has within undamaged of 4he journey. And with what shouts of joy the bundle of life will be greeted by all the voices of the heavenly home circle I Welcome Avvalta. In our anxiety at last to reach heaven we are apt to i lose sight of the glee or welcome that :a waits us if we get in at all We all have friends up there. They will somehow hear that we are coming. Such close and swift and constant com munication is there between those up lands and these lowlands that we will not surprise them by sudden arrival If loved ones on earth expect our coming visit and are at the depot with carriage to met ns, surely we will be met at the shining gate by old friends now sainted and kindred now! glorified. If there were no angel of God to meet us and show us the palaces and guide us to our everlasting residence, these kindred would show us the way and point out the splendors and guide ns to our celes tial home, bowered and fountained and arched and illumined 'by. a sun that never sets. Will it not be glorious, the going in and the settling down after all the moving about and upsettings of earthly experience ? We will soon know all our neighbors, kingly, queenly, pro phetic, apostolic, seraphic, archangelic. The precious bundle of life opened amid palaces and grand marches and accla mations. ; They will - all be so glad we have got safely through: They saw us down here in the struggle They saw us when we lost our way. They knew when we got off the right course. None of tbe 32 ships that were overdue at New York harbor in the storm of week before lat wae graatad so keartily by friends on the dock or the steam tugs that went out to meet them at Sandy Hook as we will be greeted in the heav enly world if by the pardoning and pro tecting grace of God we come to celes tial wharfage. We shall have to tell them of the many wrecks that we have passed on the way across wild seas and amid Caribbean cyclones. It will be like our arrival some years ago from New Zealand at Sydney, people sur prised that we got in at all, because we were two days late, and some of the ships expected had gone to the bottom. and we had passed derelicts and aban doned crafts all up and down that awful channel our arrival in heaven all the more rapturously welcomed because of the doubt as to whether we would ever get there at all , God's Promlae. Once there it will be found . that the safety of that precious bundle of life was assured because it was bound up with the life of God in Jesus Christ Heaven could not afford to have that bundle lost because it had been said in regard to its transportation and safe ar rival, "Kept by the power of God through faith unto complete salvation. " The veracity of the heavens is involved in its arrival. If God should fail to keep his promise to just one ransomed soul, the pillars of Jehovah's throne would fall, and .the foundations of the eternal city would crumble, and infinite poverties would dash down all the chalices and close all the banqueting halls, and the river of life would change its course, sweeping eyerything with desolation, and frost would blast all the gardens, and immeasurable sickness slay the immortals, and the new Jerus alem become an abandoned city, with no chariot wheel on the streets and no worshipers in the temple a dead Pom peii of the skies, a buried Herculaneum of the heavens. Lest any one should doubt, the God who cannot lie smites his omnipotent hand on the side of his throne and takes affidavit, declaring. "As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth." Oh, I cannot tell you howl feel about it, the thought is so glorious. Bound up with God. "Bound up with infinite mercy. Bound up with infinite joy. couna up wun lnnmic purity. Bound np with infinite might That thought is more beautiful and glorious than was the heroic Abigail, who at the foot of the crags uttered it, "Bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God!"
