TALMAGE'S SERMON,
THE FAMOUS PREACHER tN THE
. SUBJECT OF DlVIIar LOVE.
Tho' Attribute 01 - "
All Mainly ' Forth Loving Com
passion Kxoded Toward the Krring
One.
Kev Dr. Talmage, in selecting a stib
jpo. choae au aspect of the divine char
acter whicli is seldom considered. ; Tc
au unusually large audience lie (lis
coursed on God as "The Mother of All,''
the text being taken-from Isaiaii Ixvi.
18, "As one whom his mother comfort
eth, o will I comfort you. "
The Bible is a warm letter of affection
from a parent to a child, and yet there
are many who see chiefly the severer pns-
eages. As there may be titty or sixty
nights of gentle dew iu one summer that
will not cause as much remark ns one
hailstorm of half an hour, so there tire
those who are more struck by those pas-
ipes of the Bible ttiat announce the in
dignation of - God than by those that
announce his HfFectiou. There may come
to a household twenty or thirty letters of
affection during the yeur, and they will
iot make ns iimcli excitement in that
home as one eheriff's writ, and so there
are people who are more attentive to
those passiiges which announce the judg
ments of God than to those which au-
uounee his mercy and favor.
God is a lion, John says in the book of
Revelation. God is a breaker, Micah an
nounces in his prophecy. 1 God is a rock.
God is a king. But hear also that God
is love.
The txt of this morning bends with ,
great gentleness and loveoverall who are
prostrate iu sin aud trouble. It lights up
with compassion. It melts with tender
ness. It breathes upon us with the hush
of an eternal lullaby, for it announces
that God is our mother. "As one whom
his mother comforteth, so will I comfort
you." ,
I remark, in the first place, that God
has a mother's simplicity of iuHlructiou.
A father does not kuow how to teach a
child the A B C. Men are not skillful in
the piinniry department, but a niothei
has so much patience that she will tell n
child for the hundredth time the differ
ence between 'F and G and I and J.
Sometimes it is by blocks; sometimes it
is by the worsted work ; sometimes by
l he slate; sometimes by the book. Sh
thus teaches the' child and has no awk
wardness of condescension in so doing.
So God, our Mother, stoops down to out
infantile m.iuds.
Though we are told a thing- a thousand
times and we do not understand it, our
heavenly Mother goes on, line upon line,
precept upon precept, here a little and
there a little. God has been teaching
some of us thirty-years and some of us
sixty years one word of one syllable,
and we do not know it yet fuitfc, faith!
When we come to that word we stum
ble, we halt, we lose our place, we pro
nouuee it wrong. Still God's patience
is not exhausted. God, our Mother,
puts us in the school of prosperity, and
the letters -are in sunshine, and we can
not spell them. God puts us in the
school of adversity, and the letters are
black, and we can not spell them. If
God were merely a king he would punish
us ; if he were 6imply a father he would
whip us; but God is a mother, and so
we are borne with and helped all-the
way through.
A mother teaches her child chiefly by
fictures. If -Bhe wanta to set forth to
ler child the hideousness of quarrel
some spirit, instead of giving a lecture
upon that subject she turns over-a leaf
and shows the child two boys iua wran
gle, and says, " Does not that look hor
rible?" If she wants to teach her child
: the awfulness of war she turns over the
picture book and shows the war charger,
the headless truuks of butchered men,
the wild, bloodshot eye of battle rolling
under lids of flame, and she says, u That
is war 1" The child understands it
In a great many books the best parts
are the pictures, ihe style may be in
sipid, the type poor, but a picture al
ways attracts a child s attention. JNow
God, our Mother, teaches us utmost
everything by picture?. Is the divine
goodness to be set forth ? Hew does God,
our Mother, teach us? By an autumnal
picture. Ihe barns are full. The wheat
stacks are rouuded. The cattle are
chewing the cud lazily in the sun. The
orchards are dropping the ' ripe pippins
into the lap of the farmer, the natural
world that has been busy all summer
seems now-to bo resting in great abun
dance. We look at the picture and say,
" Thou crownest the year with thy good
ness, aud thy paths drop fatness. "
' God wishes to set forth the fact that
in the judgment the good will be divided
from the wicked. How is it done? By
a picture, by a parable a fishing scene.
A group of hardy men, long bearded,
geared for standing to the waist in water,
sleeves rolled up. Long oar, sun gilt;
boat battered as though it had been a
playmate of the storm. A full net
thumping about with the fwh, which
have just discovered their captivity, the
wortules mo8Sbunkers and the useful
flouuders all in the same net. The fish
ennau puts his hand down amid the
squirming fins, taks out the mousbuuk
ers aud throws them into the water and
gathers the good fish into the pail. So,
says Christ, it shall be at the eud of the
world.. The bad he will cast away aud
the good he will keep. Another pic
ture. God, our Mother, wanted to set forth
the duty of neighborly love, and it is
done by a picture. A heap of wounds
on the road to Jericho. A traveler has
been fighting a robber. The robber
stubbed lain and knocked him down
Two ministers come along. They look
at the poor fellow, but do not heln him.
A traveler comes along a Samaritan.
He says "Whoa!" to the beast he is rid
ing and dismounts. He examines the
wounds; he takes out some wine, aud
with it washes the wounds, aud then he
takes some oil and puts that iu to make
the wouuds stop smarting, and ' then he
tears off a. piece of his own garment foi
a baudage. Then he helps the wounded
man upon the beast and walks by the
side, holding him on until they come
to a tavern. He says to "e landlord,
"Here is money to pay the TOa$.y, board
fortwodayg; take care of him; if-il
costs anything more charge it to me, and
J will nay it" Picture The Good
.-Saniaritau, or Who Is Your Neighbor?
- Does God, our Mother, want - to set
-forth what a foolish thing it is to- gc
away from the right, and how glad
divine mercy is to take hack the wan
derer ? How is It doue? By a picture,
A good father , large farm with fal
sheep and' oxen tfiae house with ex
quhutd wardrobe. ' (Discontented boy.

The hand; torn of the husks, gets ffring.
The foot, inflamed and bleeding, gets a
sandal. The bare shoulders, showfng
through the tatters, gets a robe. The
Btomach, gnawing itself with hunger,
gets a full platter smoking with meat.
The father can not eat for looking at the
returned adventurer. Tears running
down the face until they come to a smile
the night dew melting iato the niorn
inpr. No work on the farm that day, for
when a bad boy repents and comes back
promising to do better, God knows that
is enough for one day, " Aud they began
to be merry. " Picture " Prodigal Son
Returned from the Wilderness. " . So
God, our Mother, '-teaches us everything
by pictures. The siiiner is a lost sheep.
Jesus is the bridegroom. The useless
mail a barren fig tree. The Gospel is -a
great supper. Satan, a-sower of tares.
Truth, a mustard seed. That which we
could not have understood in the ab
stract statement Got!, our Mother, pre

Maternity -ever thus teaching us? "
l remark again thatGod4ias a mother's
favoritism. A father sometimes shows
a Bort of favoritism.' Here- is a boy
strong, well, of high forehead-and quick
intellect The father says, 44 1 will take
that boy into my firm yet," or, " I will
gtve him the veiy best possible educa
tion.; There are inst-uicei where .for
tlie culture of the oue boy "all the others
have been robbed. A md favoritism.
but that is not the mother's favorite. 'I
will tell you her favorite.
There is a child who at two years of
age had a fall. He has never got over it
The scarlet fever muffled his hearing.
lie is not what he once was. That child
has caused the mother hi ore anxious
nights than all the other children. If
he coughs in the night she springs out of
a sound sleep and goes to him. The last
tlnng-she does when going out or the
home is to give a charge in regard to
him. The first thing on coming- in is bo
ask in regard to him.
Why. the children of the family all
know that he is the favorite, and say :
"Mother, j'ou let him do , just as he
pleases, and you give him a great many
tilings winch-you do notgive us. tie is
your favorite.'' The mother smiles; she
knows it is so. So he ought to be, tor it
there is one in the world that need
sympathy more than another it is sm
invalid child; weary on thehrst milo of
life's journey; carrying an aching head.
-a weak side, an irritated lung. So the
mother ought to make him tv favorite.
God, our Mother, has favorilps.
"Whom the Lord loveth he-chasteneth"
that is, oue whom he especially loves
ho chasteueth. - God loves us tl, but b
there oue weak and sick and sore and
wounded and suffering and faint? That
is the one who lies uearestand more
jerpetually on the great loving heart of
God. Why, it never coughs but our
Mother God hears it. It never stirs ti
weary limb in the bed but our Mother-
God knows of it. There is no such
watcher ns God. The best mirsu may
bo overborne by fatigue and fall asleep
iu the chair; but God, our Mother, aftvi
beiug up a year of nights with a buffer
ing child, never slumbers nor sleeps.
When I see God especially bu-ty in
troubling and trying a Christian 1 know
that out of that Christian's character
there is to come some especial good. A
quarryman goes down into the excava
tion aud with strong handed machinery
bores into the rock. The rock says,
What do you do that for?" He puts
powder in; he lights a fuse. There is a
thundering crash. The rock says, "Why.
the whole mountain is goiug to pieces."
The crowbar is plunged, the rock is
dragged-out After awhile it is takMi
into'the artist's studio. It says,?" W!I.
now 1 have got to a good, wurni, comfor
able place at last. "
Bat the sculptor takes the cjusel and
mallet, aud he digs for the eye, and he
cuts for the mouch and he bores for' the
ear, and he rubs it with sandpaper until
the rock says, "When will tnis torture
be ended?" A sheet is thrown over it.
It stands in darkness. The covering is
removed. It stands in the sunlight iu
the presence of ten thousand applaud
ing people, as they greet the statue of
the poet, or the prince, or the conqueror.
"Ah," says the stone, "now I under
stand it lam a great deal better off now
standing as a statue of a couquerur than
I would ha. ve been down iu the quarry.
So God finds a man down in the quarry
of ignorance and -sin. How to get him
up? He must be bored aud blasted and
chiseled - and scoured and stand some
times iu the darkness. But after awhile
the mantle of affliction will fall off, and
his soul will be greeted by the one huu
dred and forty-four thousand aud the
thousands of thousands as more than
conqueror. Oh, my friends, God, our
Mother, is just as kind in our afflictions
as in our prosperities. God never touches
us but for our good. If a field clean and
cultured is better off than a barren
field, and if a stone that has become a
statue is better off than the marble in the
quarry, then that soul that God chastens
may be his favorite.
: - Oh, the rocking of the soul is not the
rocking of an earthquake, but the rock
ing of God's cradle. "As one whom his
mother comforteth, so will I comfort
you." I have been told that the pearl in
in oyster is merely the result of a
wound or a sickness inflicted upon it,
and I do not know but that the brightest
gems of heaven will be found to have
been the wouuds of earth kindled into
the jeweled brightness ef eternal glory,
I remark that God has a mother! ca
pacity for attending to little hurts. The
father is shocked at the broken bone of
the child, or at the sickness that sets the
cradle on fire with fever, but it takes the
mother to sympathize with all the little
ailments and bruises of the child. If the
child have a splinter in its hand it wants
the mother to tako it .out and not the
father. The father says, "Oh, that is
nothing," but the mother knows it is
something, and that a little hurt some
time is very treat. So with God, our
Mother; all our annoyances are important"
enough to look at aud sympathize with.
Nothing with God' is something.
There are no ciphers in God's arithme
tic And if we were only good enough
of sight we could see as much through a
microscope as through a telescope.
Those things that may be impalpable
and infinitesmal to us niay be pro
nounced aud infinite to God. A mathe--mutical
.point is defined as having no
parts, no magnitude. It is so smalt you
cau not. imagine at, and .yet a mathe
maticaiLjioiut may be a starting poiut
for a great eternity. ; God's surveyors
carry a very long chain. A scale iuust
be very delicate that can -weigh a grain,,
' but uoa a soaie is eo oeiicaie tuac no can
weigh with it that which is so small that
a grain is a million times heavier.
When John Kitto. a poor boy on a
back street of Plymouth cut his foot
with a piece of glass, God bouud it up so
successfully tlmt lie became the great
vCbristiau ireoarrayhtr and a commentator
Known to all nations. 'So every wound
of the soul,1 however insignificant, God
is williug to bind up, As at the first cry
of the child the mother rushes to kiss the
wouud, so God, our Mother, takes the
.smallest wound of the heart and -presses
it (o the lips of divine sympathy. "As
one whom his mother comforteth, - so
-will I comfort you."
1 remark further that . God has . a
mother's patience for the erring. If one
does wrong, first his associates iu life
cast him off; if he goes on iu the wrong
way, his business uartuer casts him off;
if he goes on, his best friends- cast him
off Ids father casts him off. But after
all others have oust him oil, whore does
he go? Who holds no grudge and for.
gives the last time as well as the first?
Who sits by-the murderer s counsel.-all
through the long trial? Who. tarries
the longest at the windows of a culprit's
cell?, Who, when all others think ill of
h man, keeps ou thinking -well of him?.
It is his mother. God bless her gray
hairs if she be still alive, and bless her
grave .if she -be gone I And bless the
rocking chair in whicli she used to sit,
aud bless the cradle that she' used to
rock, aud bless the -Bible she used to
read 1 1 '
So God, our Mother, has patience for
all the erring. After everybody else has
cast a man oil God, our Mother, comes
lo the rescue. God leaps to take charge
of a bad case. After all the other doc
tors 'have got through the heavenly
Physician comes in. Human sympathy
at such a time does not amount to
much. ,;Even- the sympathy of Ihe
church 1 am aorry to say, often does
not amount to -much.
I have seeu the niosi harsh and bitter
treatment ou the part of those who pro
fessed faith in Cnrist toward those who
were wavering and erriug. They tried
on -the wauderer sarcasm and billings
yate aud . caricature, aud they tried
tittle 'tattle. There was one thing they
did not try, and that was forgiveness. A
soldier iu England was brought by a
sergeant to the colonel. "What, "says
the colonel, " bringing the man here
ligain 1 We have tried everything with
him." "Oh, no," says the sergeant;
"there is oue thing you have not tried.
I would like you to try that, " " What is
that?" said thecoloueL' Said-the man,
"Forgiveness."
The case had not gone so far but that
It might take that turn, and so the col
onel said : "Well, young man, you have
done so aud so. -What is your excuse?"
"I have no excuse, but I am very sorry,"
said the1 man. "We have made up our
minds to forgive you, " said the colonel.
The tears started. He had never been
accosted 'in that way before. His life
was reformed, and that was the starting
point for a positively Christian life. O
church of God. quit your sarcasm when
man falls 1 Quit your irony, quit your
tittle tattle and try forgiveness. God,
jour Mother, tries it all the time. A
man's sins may be like a coutiuent, but
Ood's forgiveness is like the Atlantic
;uiil 1'acitio oceans, bounding it ou both
sides.
The Bible often talks about God's hand.
I wonder how it looks. You remember
listiuctly how ; your, mother's hand
looked, though thirty years ago it with
ered away. it -wits different from your
father's hand. When you were to be
chastised you had rather have mother
punish you than father. It did not hurt
so much. And- father's hand was differ
ent than mother'swpartly because it had
outdoor toil, and partly because God in
tended it to be different. The knuckles
were more firmly ,-eet, and the palms
were calloused. '
But 'mother's hand was more delicate.
There were blue veins running through
the back of it Though the fingers,,
some of them, were picked with a needle,
the palm of it was soft. Oh, it was very
soft I Was there ever any poultice like
that to take pain out of a wouud? So
God's hand is a mother's hand. What
it touches it heals. If it smite you. it
Joes not hurt as if it were auother hand.
Oh, you poor wandering soul in siii, it ia
not a bailiff's baud that seizes you to
day 1 It is not a hard hand. It is not
an uusympathetic hand. It is not a
cold baud. It is not an enemy's hand.
No. It is a gentle baud, a loving hand,
sympathetic hand, a soft haud, a
mothers hand. "As oue whom his
mother comforteth, so will I comfort
you. " 1
I want to say finally that God has a
mother's way of putting a child to sleep.
You know t icre is no cradle song like a
mother's. After the excitement of the
evening it is almost impossible to get the
child to sleep. If the rocking chair stop
a moment tue eyes are wide open, but the
mother's patience and the mother's sooth
ing manner keep on until after awhile
f he angel of slumber puts his wing over
t ie pillow. Well, my dear brothers and
sisters iu Christ the time will come when
we will bo wanting -to be put to sleep.
The day of our life will be doue, aud the
shadows of the night of death will be
gathering around iis. Then we want God
to soot he us, to hush us to sleep.
Let the music of our going' not be the
dirge of the organ, or the knell Of t e
church to wer.or the drumming of a "dead
march," but let it be the hush' of a
mother's-lullaby. Oh, the cradle of the
grave will be soft witu the pillow of all
the promises. When we are being rocked
into that last slumber I waut tins' to be
the cradb song, "As one whom a mot .cr
comforteth,' so will I comfort you. "

A Scotchman was dying. His daugh

Sunday evening, aud the bell . of the
church was ringing, calling the people
to church. ' The good old mau, in his dy

way to church, as he used to be when he
went iu the .sleigh across the river, and
as the evening bell struck up iu his dying

Aud he smiled and said, "Just 'there
now. " No wonder he smiled. The good
old man had got ;to church. Not the old'
couutry church, but the temple iu the
