DR. TALIAGE’S SERMON. THE BROOKLYN DIVINES SUN , DAY SERMON. Subject of Sermon (Preached at Cleveland, Ohio): “Off Track- How to Get On Again.” T*xt— 1 “ When shall lawakeT I will seek it yet again Proverbs xxiii., 35. With an insight into human nature such as no other man ever reached, Solomon, in my text, sketches the mental operations of one who, having stepped asiue from the path of rectitude, desires to return. With a wish for something better he said: “When shall I awake f V\ hen shall I come out of this horrid nightmare of iniquity?” but, seized upon by uneradu-ated habit and forced down hill by his passions, be cries out: “I will teek it yet Mam. I will try it on.-e more. ” Our libra ries are adorned with an elegant literature addressed to young men, point.ngout to tnem all the dangers and perils of life—complete maps of the voyage, showing all th.i ro ks, the quicksands and the shoals, hut sup pose a man has alre.ady made spipwreik: suppose he is already olf the trar-k; suppo-e he has already g <ue astray, how is he to get back? That is a field comparatively un touched. I propose to address myself this morning to such. There are those in this au dieu .e who, with every pas don of their ago nised soul, are ready to near such a discus sion. They comi aro themselves with what they were ton years ago, and cry out from the bondage in wbicn they are incarcerated. Now, if there be any in thishoie, come with an earnest purpose, yet f. eling that they are Leyond the pale of Christian sy.m a by, and that the sermon ian hardly l e expected to address them, then, at this moment, I give them my right band and call them brother. L< ok up! There is glorious and triumphant hope for you yet. I sound the trumpet of gospel deliverance. The church Is ready to spread a banquet at your return, and the hierarchs of heaven t j fail into line of ban nered procession at the news of your email - ci| ation. So far as God may help me, I pro |K>se to show what aro the obstacles of your return, and then how you are to surmount those obstacles. The first diificulty in the way of your return is the force of moral gravitation. Just as there ir a natural law which brings down to the earth anything you throw into the air, so there is a corre sponding moral gravitation. In other words, it is easier to go down than it is to go up: it is easer to do wrong thau it is to do right. Call to mind the comrades of your boyhood davs— some of them good, some of them bad —which most affected you? Call to mind the anecdotes that you have heard in the last five or ten years—some of them aro pure and some of them impure. Which the more easily sticks to your memory ? During the years of your life you have formed certain courses of coudu t—some of them good, some of them bad. To which style of habit did you the more easily yield? Ah! my friends, we have to take but a momeut of self-inspection to find out that there is in all our souls a force of moral giav itation. But that gravitation may be re sisted. Just as you may pick up from tko earth something and hold it in you*- nand to ward heaven, just so, by the power of God’s grace, a soul fallen may lie lifted toward peace, toward pardon, toward heaven. Force of moral gravitation in every one of us, but power in God’s grace to overcome that force of moral gravitation. The next thing in the way*of your return is the power of evil habit. I know there are thos* who say it is very easy lor them to give up evil habits. I do not believe them. Hete is a man given to intoxi ation. He knows it is disgracing his family, do troying his prop erty, ruining him, body, mind and soul. If that man, being an intelligent man and lov ing his family, could easily give up that habit, would he not do so? The fact that he does not give it up proves it is hard to give it uo. It is a very easy thing to sail down stream, the tide carrying you with great force; but suppose you turn the boat up stream, is it so easy them to row it? As long as we yield to the evil inclination in our hearts and our bad habits, we are sailin; down stream, but the moment we trv to turn, wo put our boat in the rapids just above Niagara, aud try to row up stream. Ta ie a mau given to the habit of using tobacco, as most of you do, and let him resolve to stop, and ho finds it very difficult. Twenty on ; years ago i quit that habit, and I would as soon dare to put my light hand in the fire as once to in dulge in it- Why? Because it was such a terrible struggle to get over it Now, let a man be advised by his physician to give up .the use of tobacco. He goes around not knowing wtat to do with himself. Ho can not add iip a line of figures. He cannot sleep nights. It seems a* it the world had turned upside down He feels his business is going to ruin. Where he was kind and obliging he is scoldiqg and fretful. The composure that characterized him has given way to a fretful restlessness, and he has become a com plete fidget. What power is it that has rolled a wave of woe over the earth and shaken a portent in the heavens? He has tried to stop smoking! Alter a while ho says: lam going to do os I please. The doctor doesn t understand iny case I’tn go ing back to my old habit.” And ho returns. Everything assumes its usual composure His business seems to brighten. The world becomes . an attractive place to live in. His children, seeing ihe differen e. hail the return of their father’s genial disposition. What wave of color has ca-h d blue into the sky, and greenness into the mountain foliage and the glow of sapphire into the s inset! Wbat enchantment has lifted a wor Id ol beauty and joy on his soul? He has gone back to smoking. Oh, the fact is, as we aL knew in our experience, that habit is a task master: as long as we obey it. it does no/ chastise us, but let us resist, and we find we are to be lashed with scorpion whips and bound with ship cable, and thrown into the track of bone-breaking Juggernauts. Dur ing the war of 1812 there wai a ship set on fire just above Niagara Falls, and then, cut loose from its moorings, it race on down through the night an I tosse lover the falls. It was said to have been a sc.*ne brilliant Le yond all description. Weil, there ar.; th *u sands of men on fire of ov.l habit, c lining down through the rapils and through the awful night of temptati n toward the eter nal plunge. Oh! how bird it is to ar rest them. God only /an arrest them. Suppose a man, after five or ten or twenty years of evil-doing, resolves to do right? WLy, all the forces of darkness are allied against him. He cannot sleep nights. He gets down on his knees iu the midnight, and aims: “God help me!” He bitis his lip. He grinds his teeth. He clinches his fist in a determination to keep his purpose. He dare not look at the bottles in the window of a wine store. It wa> one long, bitter.exhaust ive, hand-to hand fight with inflam-d, tan talizing and merciless habit. When he thinks he is entirely free, the old inclination* pounce upon hun like a pack of hound* with their muzzles tearing away at tha Hanks of one poor reindeer. In Dans there is a ecu 1 ? tured representation of Bacchus, tho eod fn H ? i J b ? idin * on a panther at full leap. Oh, how suggestive! I,et every one who is speeding on bad wavs understand he is not riding a docile and well-broken steed but be is riding a iD<>nster wild and bloodthirsty, going at a death leap’ How many there are who resolve on a be't and “7: ‘‘When shall I awake?” but seized on by their oi l habits, cry ‘ I will ,try it once more; I will seek ft vet iHn ago there were *ome Priuco- T ,e Skatiug - ftrid the ice was very thin, and some one warned the company back from the airhole, and finally warned them entirely to leave the vhul w “ h , bravado H ■ ' rl «l out “Une round more. He swept around aud went down and was brought out a corps,. My friends’ there ore thouronds and ten. of thousands of men losing thsir in that way. J, t |, B one round more. ’ “ 1 “b thot il * mnn to re 'i” il J >l raot'ce*. awioty repulses him. Desiring to reform, ho says: “Now 1 will shake off my old associates, and I will fled Chribt'an companionship.” Aud he appears •t the church dpor some Uahb,th dav auJ I the usher greets him with a look, as much as to say: “Why, you here) You ar, the last man I everexpected to sse at church! Come, take this seat right down by the door!” in stead of saving: “Good-morniug, lam glad you are here. Come: I will give you a urst rafci seat, right up by the pulpit.” Well, the prodigal, not yet discouraged,enters a prayer meeting, and some Christian man, witu more ztal than comm n sonso, says: “Glad to see you. The dying thief was saved, anil I sup pose there is mercy for you ” The young man, disgusted, chilled, throws himseU back on his dignity, resolved that he never will enter tho house of God again. Perhaps not quite fully discouraged about reforma tion, he sides up by some highly respecta b.e man be used to know, going down the street, and immediately the respecta ble man has an erraud down some other street! Well, the prodigal, wishing to return, taicos some member of a Christian as sociation by the baud, or tries to. The Christian young man looks at him. looks at •the faded apparel aud marks of dissipation, and. instead of giving him a warm grip of the hand, offers h m tin tip eud of the long linger of the lett hand, which is equal to striding a mau in tao la e. . Oh, how tew Christian people understand how much force and gospel there is in a good, honest handshaking! Sometimes when you have felt the of encourage ment, and some Chi i-tian man ha; taken you heartily by the band, have you not felt thrilling through every fibre of your body, mind and soul, an encouragement that was just what von needed? You do not know anvthing at all about this, unless you know when a mau tries to return from evil courses of conduct he runs against repulsions innu merable. Wo say of some man, he lives a block or two from tho church or half a mile from the church There are people in our crowded cities who live a thousand miles from church. Vast deserts of indifference between them an 1 tho house of God The fact is, we must keep our rospo tabihty, though thousands and tens of thousands perish. Christ sat with publcinns and sin ners. But if th-»ro come to tho house of God a man with marks of dissipation upon him, people almost throw up their hands in horror, as much as to say: “Isn’t it shocking?” How thesetlainty, fastidious Christians in all our churches are going to get into heaven 1 don't know-, unless they have an espe ial train of cars, cushioned and upholstered, each one a car to himself! The}- cannot go with the great herd of publicans ami sinners. (>h ye who curl your lip of scorn at tho fallen, I tell you plainly, if you find been surrounded by the same influences, instead of sitting to-day amid the cultured, and tha refined, and tb« Christian, you would have been a crouching wretch in stable or ditch, covered with filth and abumination. Itnn>t be ause you art naturally any bettor, but be ause the mercy of God has protected you. Who are you that, brought up in Christian circles, and watched by Christian parentage, you should be so hard on the fallen? I think men also are often hindered from return by the fact that churches ar.; too anxious about their membership and too anxious about their de no nination, and they rush out when they see a man about to give up his sin and return to God, aud ask him how he is going to be baptized, whether by sprinkling or immer sion, and what kind of church he is going to join. O, my friends! It is a poor time to talk about Presbyterian catechisms, and Episcopal liturgies, and Methodist love feasts, aud baptistries, to a man that is coming out of tho darkness of sin into the glorious light of the gospel. Why, it reminds me of a maa irowning in the sea, and a lifeboat puts out for him, and the man in the boat says to the man out of the boat: “Now, if I get you ashore, are you goiug to live in my street?” First, get him ashore and then talk about tha non-essentials of religion. Who cares what church he joins if he only joins Christ and starts for heaven? O, you ought to have, my brother, an illumined lace an 1 a hearty grip for every one that tries to turn from his evil way. Take held of the same book with him, though h's dissipations shake tho book, remembei ing that he that converteth a sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul f.om death, and hide a multitude of sins. Now. I have shown you these obstacles because I want you to under stand I know all the diflicu t:e< in the way; but I am now to tell you how Hannibal may s ale the Alps, and how the shackles may bt unriveted, and how the piths of virtuo for saken may be regained. First of all, my brother, throw yourself on God. G> to him frankly aud earnestly, and tell Him these habits you nave, and ask Him if there is any help in all the resources of omnipotent love, to give it to you. Do not go with a long rigmarole people made up of “ohs’ and “ahs” and and forever, aniens!” Go 1> God and cry for help! help! help! and if you cannot cry for help, just look and live. I renie nber in the late war 1 was a Antietam, and I went into the hospi tals a ter the l attlo, aud I said to a man: “Where are you hurt?” He made no an swer. but hold up his arm, .swollen and splintered I saw where ha was hurt. The simple fact is, when a man has a wounded soul, all be has to do is to h -Id it up be fore asympath.-tic Lord aud get it healed. It does not taiie any long prayer. Just bold up I the wounJ. O, it is n > small thing when a man i; nervous and weak and ex hausted, coming from tha evil ways, to feel that God puts two omnipotent arms around about him and says: “Young, man, I will stand by you. Tha mountains may depart and the hills be re moved, but I will never fail you.” And then, as th3 soul thinks the news is too good to be true, and cannot believe it, and looks up in God’s face, God lifts his right hand and takes an oath, an affidavit, haying: “As 1 live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of him that die r h.” Biased be God for such a gospel as this! “Cut the slices thin,” said the wife t >the husband, “or there will not be enough t• go all around for the children; cut the slices thin.” Blessed be God. there is a full loaf for every one that wants it; bread enough and to spare. No thin slices at the Lord’s table. I re | member when tbe Master Street Hospital, in Philadelphia, wat opened during the j war, a telegram came saying: “There will be 300 woumlel men to-night, bo ready to take car© of them;” and from my church ' there went, in some twenty or thirty men j and women to look after theso poor wouudol fellows. As they came, some from one part of tho laud, some from anot her, no one asked whether this man was from < fregon, or from Massachusetts, or from Minnesota, or from New York. There was a wounded soldier, aud tbe only que-.t ou wa; how to take off tho rags most gently, and put on tho and odi mistor the cordial. And wheu a soul comes to God, He does not ask whore you came from or what your ancestry wa-. Healing i for all your wounds. Pardon for all your I guilt. Comfort for all your troubles. Then, | also, I counsel you, if you want to get back, ! to quit all your bad asso nations. One unholy j intimacy will fill your soul with mora! dis temper. It all the ages of the church, there ha; not b:;eu an ins ance where a man kept ‘ one evil asso date and was reformed, i Among the 1,-400,000,090 of tho race, not j one instance. Go home to-day, open your ! desk, take out letter paper, si a np and en ! velope, and then write a letter something i like this; “My old companions: I start ! this day for heaven. Until lam purmidod, I you will join me iu this, farewell.” ; Then sign your name, and send the letter j with the first post. Give up your Lai com panions, or give up heaven. it is not ten bod I < o npauinnK that destroy a man, nor fi\e bad j 1 companions-, nor three l*ad companions; but i | one. Wluit chance is there for that young man I nw along the street, four or five young | men with him, halting in front of a grog- ; ! shop, urging him t > go iu, he resisting, vio- j ; leutly resisting, until alter a while lliey ' | forced him t>go in? It was a summer night, I and the door was left o en, and I saw ! tlij process. They held him fast, and they ! put the cup to uis lips, aud they forced j I down the stroag drink. What chance j !is there for such a young mau! \ I I courts 1 you also, t-oek Christum advice. 1 Every Christian man Is bound to help you. \ I If you find no other human ear willing te • J listen to your story of struggle, come to me, ) aud I will, by every synipaih / of mv heart. . and every prayer, and every toil of inj j hand, Ktnnd bes do you in the struggle for i reformation; aud as I hope to have my own I sins forgiven, and hope to be acquitted ft' the judgment seat of Christ, I win not be tray you. Firatof all, seek Goi; then seek Christian counsel. Gather up all tbe en ergies of body, mind and soul, aud appeal ing to God for succoss, declare this dav ever lasting war against all drinking ns bits, all gaming practice;, alt houses of sin. Half and-half work will amount to nothing; it must be a Waterloo. Shrink back now. and you are lost. Push on. and you are saved. A Spartan General fell at the very moment of victory, but he dippo 1 his finger in bis own blood and wrote on a rock near which he was dying: “Sparta has conquered.” Though your struggle to get rid of sin may seem tu »e almost a death struggle, you can dip your finger in your own blood aud write on the Rock of Ages: “Vic tory through our Dord Jesus Christ.” O, what glorious news it would be for soma of these young men to send homo to their parents in the country the-* holidays which are coming. They go to the postoifice every day or two to see whether there aro any let ters from you. How anxious they are to hear! You might send them fora holiday present this season a book from one of ow best publishing houses, or a complete ward robe from the importer's palace, it would not plea* them half so much as tho news you might ?end home to-morrow that you had given your heart to God. I know how it is in the country. Tbe night comas on. The cat tle stand under the rack, through whi ;h burst the trusses of hay. Tho horses just having frisked up from 'the moa low at the nightfall, stand kneadeep in the bright straw that invites them t > lie down and rest. The perch of the hovel is full of fowl, their feet warm under the feathers. Iu the old farm house at night no candle is lighte 1, for tue ‘’•.rv.es i lap their hands about tho great back log, and shake tho shadow of the group up and down the wall. Father and mother sit there for half au hour, saying nothing. I wonder what they are thinking of? After awhile the lather breaks tho silence, and says: “Well, I wonder whore our boy is in town to night?” An l tbe mother answers: “In no bad place. I warrant you; we always could trust him when ho wa; home, and sin* he has been away fcaero have l> en so many prayers o;- farod lor him wo can trust him still,” Then a-, 8 o’clock—for ihey rc-ti:e early in the country—they kneel down and commend you t > that Cod who watchoa in country and in towu, on the land and on the sea. Some one said to a Grecian General: “What was the proudest moment in your life?” Ho thought a moment, anl said: “The proudest mo ment in my life was when i sent word homo to my parents that I had gained t.he victory.” And tho proudest ami most brilliant moment in your life will be the momeut whon you can semi word to your parents that you hare conquered yous evil habits by tho gra»si of God, and heroine etornal victor. Oh, de spise not parental anxiety! Jho time will come when you will have neither father nor mother, and you will go around the place whero they used to watch you, and find them gono from tho house, aud gone from tha field, andgoue from the neigh borhood. Cry as loud for forgiveuess as yon may over the mound in the churchyard, they w:ll not answer. Dead! Dead! Grant’s Old Serrant Talks. “When did Grant realize the fact of his approaching death?” a Cleveland leader representative asked Harrison, the body servant of General Grant. “It was at Dr. Douglas's office, in New York,” Harrison replied. “He was alone with Dr. Douglas and myseif. Grant had just had an examination of his throat, and he asked Dr. Douglas if he could assure him that his trouble would not develop into a cancer. Douglas told him that he could not assure him of this fact, but that he hoped he might be able to cure him. General Grant then said: ‘lf you think thus. Dr. Douglas, there is hope for me.’ Soon after this Grant’s carriage came and we went away. As wc drove off he told me not to say anything to the family as to what Dr. 1 fouglas had said. Throughout his whole sickness General Grant’s family never knew how mnch pain he suffered. From the time of his sickness till his death, I was not two hours absent from him. Many nights he would walk the floor all night. When the family would ask him in the morning how he had rested, he would say, ‘pretty well,’ and would try to appear cheerful. He had the most terrible pain all the time, and I don’t think he had a moment's cessation of pain during those last months. He felt greatly relieved when he had finished his hook and his happiest days were those just before his death. During his whole sickness he never grew irritable or lost his temper. He was the kindest man 1 ever knew and he had a great love for his family. Mrs. Grant called him Ulysse; and she was very fond of h : m. He always called her Mrs. Grant and he was certainly one of the best of hus bands.” Organ-Grinders Organized. The organ grinders of this city, says a writer in the New York Mail and Ex •»ref.s, have an organization more close even than the Knights of I abor, and they have parcelled the whole town out iu routes, just as the newspaper carriers have done in Philadelphia. When any of the members die or leave for Italy their routes are sold to the highest bid der, the amount received going into the treasury of th*» organization. There arc now 8&£ members. Another interesting fact is that tbe tunes are ad justs, d to suit the taste of different localities. Those with clas-ical arid opcntic music go to Fif.h avenue and the Murray Hill streets, while the melodies that arc ground out on the Fast and West sides are of a Ic* ambitious character. lam told that the owner of a hand-organ mid a monkey gets rich enough here in five years to return to Italy ami live the re t of his life without working. Three or four dollars a day is theaverage income. How Hawks and Owls Eat Captain Tom Lanpton, who is one of Atlanta's mo t enthusiastic sportsmen, says: “Fid you ever notice a hawk or an owl preparing to make a meal on a bird? Tho difference in their methods is very great. A hawk will first pick all the feathers off the bird and then tear it to pieces as it is devoured. He goes at it in a very systematic and dainty man ner. Not so with an owl. After killing a bird the owl swallows it whole, feathers and all. He then sits quietly, and in an hour or so you will sec the owl move his neck about as if he was trying to un tangle a knot in it. Then he will sort of hump up his back, lower his head, and the next moment a ball of feathers will roll out of his mouth. The operation shows that the owl divests the bird of its feathers after swallowing it, while the hawk plucks out every feather and quill before he takes a bite.” —Atlanta Constitution. Dr. Macgowan has sent to the Agri cultural Bureau, through Consul-General Kennedy, of .Shanghai, a collection of ahoea made of rice straw, aud worn by laboring people in the south of t hiim Dr. Macgowan sends them, suggesting the introduction of rice straw shccmak ing into the rice producing regions of the ffoutli. _ Victims of the Apaches. << Charley McComos did not live long after his father and raothor were killed by the Apaches,” said P. C. Pettibone, of Tombstone, A. T., at the Grand Pa cific yesterday morning. “As soon as Judge MoCoinas and his wife were slain and stripped of their valuables the Indi ans hurried to the mountains with their little captive. Months afterward 1 learned from a Carlos Agency Apache that tho boy was unable to keep up with the flee ing redskins, and had been turned over to the Apache children, at whose hands he suffered a horrible death. From this Indian I learned that the boy. after hav ing been stripped of his clothes, was stabbed and stoned to death by these littie red fieuds and his body tossed over a precipice. All theso reports about Charley being alive are merely bosh. The little fellow was slain a few days after his father and mother met their fate.”— Chicago Herald. A Noble Epitaph. There passed from earth on a bitter cold day, The man who oft in our office would stray, And his noblest epitaph's here, I say: “He closedthe door when he went away.” —GoodalVa Sun, The magical effects of St. Jacobs Oil in removing soreness and stiffness makes it in valuahio at all times. Rheumatism and Neuralgia promptly yield to it. Rene Goblet is the new French Premier called to form a new ministry. Dr. Gross, physician at St. Vincent’s Hos pital, Baltimore, Md., considers Red Star Cough Cure perfectly harmless, being purely vegetable and entirely free from opiates, poisons, and other narcotics. Other profes sionals also endorse it as prompt, safe and sure. Price, twenty-five cents a bottle. From the American Register it Is learned that the steamship traffic between America and Europe has grown into a large business. There are now ISS steamships plying between the two countries, which trust $100,000,000, employ 18,750 men, spend $1,000,000 a month for coal, carrying 500,000 passengers a year, and earn s2’2*ooo,ooa* for passage money, ex elusive of what is paid for freight. HlraDßcr limn Fiction are the records of some of the cures of con sumption effected by that most wonderful remedy—Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Dis covery.” Thousands of grateful men and women, who have been snatched almost from the very jaws of death, can testify that con sumption, in its early stages, is no longer in curable.
