BOUNDED LIKE DEER. WHERE THE TROUBLED OF EARTH MAY QUENCH THEIR THIRST. Dr. Tulmaxr **••••» tn th«* Fnr.it nn F.tnmplr of Hope For the I'nforltl- ■ ntr nn«l Hnrn>M-il of the World—A Lennon From the Life of Ilmld. [Copyright, ISItS, by American Prensn Asso ciation] WASHIDGTOjr, Oct- 2.—Dr. Talmage, drawing hix llluHtr.it ionn from a fleer hunt. In this dituounte calls all the ptirmod and troubled of the earth to come and slake th< ir thirst at the dm p river of divine comfort; text, Pitalms xlii. 1, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so pnru-th my soul after th<-e, O God.” David, who must some time have ju*»n a dew hunt, )>oints us here to a hunted stag making for the wafer. The fascinating animal celled iu my text the hart is the same animal that, in sacred and profane literature is called the stag, the roebuck, the hind, the gazelle, the nlndoiT. Tn cen tral Syria in Bible times there were whole past uro fields of them, as Solomon sug gests when he says, “I charge you !>y the hinds of the field.” Their antlers jutted from the long grass as they lay down. No hunter who has Iwx-n long in “John Brown’s tract” will wonder that in the Bible they were classed among ci< an ani mals, for the dews, the Hhowets, the lakes washed them as ch an as the sky. When Isaac, the patriarch, longed for venison, Esau shot ami brought home a roebuck. Isaiah compares the sprightliness of the restored cripple of millennial times to the long and quick jump of tie stag, saying, “The lame filndl leap as the hart ” Solo mon c.xpressoft his disgust at. a hunter who, having shot a deer, is too lazy to cook it, •eying, “The slothful man ro.;-t<-th not that which he took In hunting.” But one day David, while far from the homo from v. hit h he had been driven, and sitting near the mouth of a lonely cave where ho had lodged, and on the banks of a [Kind or river, heard a pa< k of hounds in swift pursuit. Because of the previous •llonco of the forest the clangor startles him, and he Hays to himself, “1 wonder what those dogs uro after ” Thon there is a crackling in the brushwood; and the loud breathing of Home rushing wonder of the woods and the anti- r- of ad< er rend the leaves of the thicket and by an in st I net which all hunters recognize the creature plunges 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 foaming harriers. David says to himself; “Aha, that is myself! haul after ine, Absalom after mo, enemie-without number after me; I am chased; their bloody muzzles at my heels, barking at my good name, barking after my ls;dy, barking after my soul Oh, the hounds, the houndsl But look there,” says David to himself; “that roindwr has splashed into the water. It puts its hot lips and nostrils into the cool wave that washes its lathered Hanks'and it swims away from the fiery canines ami it is free at last. Oh, 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 and rescue I ‘As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.’ ” Tiie Adirondaeks are now populous with hunters, and the doer are being slain by the score. Talking one sui'nmer with a hunter, 1 thought I would like to sec whether my text was accurate in its allu sion, and as 1 heard the dogs baying a lit tle way off and supposed they wore on the track of a door, I said to one of the hunt ers in rough corduroy, “Do the deer al ways make for water when they are pur sued!’” lie said; “Oh, yes, mister. You see they am a hot and thirsty animal and they know where the water is, and when they hear danger in the distance they lift their ant lers and snif f the breeze and start for the liaquot or Loon or Saranac, and we get into our collar shell boat or stand by the ‘runaway’ with rille loaded and ready to blaze away.” lillilc Allohlooh True to Aatnre. My friends, that, is one reason why I like the Bible so much -its allusions are ho true to nature. Its partridges .'fro real partridges, its ostriches real ostriches and • its reindeer real reindeer. Ido not. wonder that, this antlered glory of the text makes the hunter’s eye sparkle and his cheek glow and his respiration quicken. To say nothing of its usefulness, although it is the most useful of all game, its flesh deli cious, 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 Booms made out of gracefulness and elas ticity, What an eye, with a liquid bright ncss ns if gathered up from a hundred lakes nt sunset! The horns, a coronal branching into every possible curve, and after it seems complete ascending into other projections of exquisiteness, a tree of polished bone, uplifted in pride or swung down for awful combat. The hart is velocity embodied; timidity imperson ated; the enchantment of the woods. Its eye lustrous in life and pathetic in death. The splendid animal a complete rhythm of muscle and bone and color and atti tude and locomotion, whether couched in the grass among the shadows, or a lixing bolt shot, t hrough the forest, or turning at bay to attack the hounds, or rearing for its last fall under the buckshot of the trapper It is a splendid ajipeararce that the painter’s pencil fails to sketch, and only a hunter’s dream on a pillow of hem lock at the foot, of St Regis is able to pic ture. When 20 miles from any settlement it comes down at event ide to the lake's edge to drink among the lily pods and with its sharp edged h<mf shatters the crystal of Ijong lake it is very pictur esque. But. only when, after miles ot pur suit, with heaving sidesand lolling tongue and eyes swimming in death the stag leaps from the clitT into upper Saranac, can you realize how much David had suf- • fen d from his troubles and how much he wanted God when ho expressed himself in • the words of the text, “As thi' hart pant eth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” Beer at Bay. Well, now, let all those who have com ing after them t he lean hounds of poverty, or the black hounds of persecution, or the spotted hounds of vicissitude, or the pale hounds of death, or who are in any wise pursued, run to the wide, deep. glorious lake of divine solace and rescue. The most ot the mon and women whom I happened to know at different times, if not now, have had trouble after them, sharp muz zled troubles, swift troubles, all devouring troubles. Many of you have made the mistake of trying to fight them. Some body meanly attached you, and you at tacked them. They depreciated you, you depreciated 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 of being submissive, you are fighting that bereavement. You charge on the doctors who failed to effect a cure, or you charge on t hoearolessne -s of the railroad company through which the accident occurred, or you are a chronic invalid, and you fret and worry and scold and wonder why you can not lx' well like other jxeple, and you an grily blame the neuralgia, or the laryngi tis, or the ague, or the sick headache. The fact is you are a doer at bay. Instead of running to the waters of divine consola tion and slaking your thirst and cooling your body and soul in the gixxl cheer of the gospel and swimming away into the mighty deeps of God's love you arc light ing a whole kennel of harriers. I saw Ln the Adirondaeks a dog lying across the road. anil he seemed unable to get up, and I said to some hunters near by, “What is the matter with that dug?” They answered, “A deer hurt him.” And I saw he had a great swollen paw and a battered head, showing where the antlers struck him. And the probability is that some of you might give a mighty clip to your pursuers, you might damage their business, you might worry them into ill health, you might hurt them as much as they have hurt you; but. after all. it is not worth while. You only have hurt a hound. Better lie off for the upper Saranac, into which the mountains of God’s eter nal strength look down ami moor their shadows. As for your physical disorders, the worst strychnine you can take is fret- j i illness anu the lx»t medicine is religion. i I know people win? were only a little dis -1 ordered, yet have fretted themselves into complete valetudinarianism, while others ; put their trust in God and come up from the very shadow (if death and have lived | comfortably 25 years with only one lung.

Do not turn track, but go ahead. The deer will accomplish more with its swift fa-t than with its horns. I saw .•■•h !•• chains of lakes in the Adi rondacktt. and from one height you can H « “>O, and there are said to be over 800 in the great wilderness of New York. So n ar ar. they to each other that your I mountain guide picks up and carries the I boat from lake to lake, the small distance < between them for that reason called a : “e.arry. ” And the realm of God’s word | is one long chain of bright, refreshing i lakes, ea< !i promise a lake, a very short carry I t • n them, and, though for ages the purs;cs! have been drinking out of j them, th- y are full up to the top of the grien Ixjo’.s, and the same David describes them, ami they seem so near together that in three different places he speaks of them as a continuous river, saying, “There is a river the streams whereof shall make glad the city of < Irxl,” “Thou shalt iqake them I drink of In rivers of thy pleasures,” ’ ic u gn -.t y enrichest it with the river ! of <»od. which is full of water.” Shed Your liorns. But ma >f you have turned your back I on that supply and confront your trouble, i and you -.re soured with your circum ! st ..ucch, ai'i; you are fighting Hociety, and ‘ you .it - fighting a pursuing world, and tr uides. instead of driving you into the > cool lake of heavenly comfort, have made | you sto| and turn around and lower your ■ln ad, and it is simply antler against tooth. Ido not blame you. Probably un- I der the same circumstances I would have I done worse. But you arc all wrong. You in' <i to do as the reindeer does in February ai’d March—it sheds its horns. The rab binical writ.i rs allude to this resignation of .■hitlers by the stag when they say of a man who ventures his money in risky enter ; prl es he has hung it on the stag’s horns, i and a proverb in the fur east tells a man who has foolishly lost his fortune to go and find where tho deor sheds her horns. ly brother, quit tho antagonism of your circum-tence::, quit mlsanthrophy, quit complaint, quit pitching into your pur , u< r.-; be as wise as next spring will bo di the door of the Adirondaeks. Shed your horns. But Very many of you who are wronged of the. world—and if in any assembly be tween here and Golden Gate, San Fran- • ih<o, it were asked that all those that : ad ii.x-H sometimes badly treated should raise both their hands and full rcsponso should lx- made, there would be twice as many hand lifted as persons present—l ■ o a.’ii’;,' ol' you would declare, “We have al ways done the best wo could and tried to be useful, and why we should become the victims of malignment or invalidism or mishap is inscrutable.” Why, do you know tho liner a deer and the more ele gant its proportions and the more beauti ful it s hearing the more anxious the hunt ers and the hounds tiro to capture it? Had the roebuck a ragged fur and broken hoofs and an obliterated eye and a limping gait tho hunters would have said, “Pshaw, don’t let us waste our ammunition on a sick doer ” And tho hounds would have .:i'' n a few Htdffs of the scent, and then darted off In another direction for better game. But. when they see a deer with ant lers lilted in mighty challenge to earth and sky, and the sleek hide looks as if it li id been smoothed by invisible hands, mid Ihe fat sides inclose the richest pas ture that could be nibbled from the banks of rills so dear they seem to have dropped out of heaven, and tho stamp of its foot iloiies the jack shooting lantern and the rille, the horn and the hound, that deer they will have if they must needs break their neck in the rapids. So if there were no noble st uff in your make up, if you were a hifiuvated nothing, if you were a forlorn failure, you would bo allowed to •’o undisturbed, but tho fact that the whole pack is in full cry after you is proof positive that you arc splendid game and wort h capturing Therefore sarcasm draws on you its finest, bead.” Therefore the world goes gunning for you with its liest daynaid bree< hli ader. Highest compli ment is it to your talent, or your virtue, or your usefulness. You will lie assailed in proportion to your great achievements. The best and tho mightiest being the world i ver saw had set alter him all the hounds, terrestrial and diabolic, and they Japped Ids blood after the Calvarean mas sacre. The world paid nothing to its Re deemer but a bramble, four spikes and a cross. Many who have done their best to make the world better have had such a rough time of it that, all their pleasure is in antic nation of the next world, and they could express their own feelings in the words cf the Baroness of Nairn at the close of !. r long life, when asked if she Would like to live her life over again: Would you lie young again? So would not I; One tear of memory given, Onward I’ll hie; l.if< s dark wave forded o'er. Ail but at. rest on shore, Say, .ould you plunge once more. With home so nigh?

Relief For Tronble. Yes, for s. io people in this world there seems no let up. They are pursued from youth to manhood and from manhood into old ago. Very distinguished are Irord Stafford's hounds, the Karl of Yarbor ough's hounds and the Duke of Rutland’s hound.-, .and Queen Victoria pays $8,500 nor year to her master of buckhounds. But all of them put together do not equal In number or speed or power to hunt down the great kennel of hounds of which sin and trouble are owner and master. But what is a relief for all this pursuit of trouble and annoyance and pain and bereavement? My text gives it to you in a word of three letters, but each letter is a chariot if you would triumph, or a thr. ne if you want to be crowned, or a lake if you would slake your thirst—yes, a chain of three lakes—God, the one for whom David longed and tho one whom I David found. You might as well meet a j stag which, after its sixth mile of run : ning at the topmost speed through thicket j and gorge and with the breath of the dogs ■ on its heels, has come in full sight of Sx-ro i lake and try to cool Its projecting and blistered tongue with a drop of dew from a blade of grass as to attempt to satisfy an immortal soul, when flying from trouble and sin. with anything less dixq> 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 Christ ly atonement, it makes us all right with the past and all right with the future, all right with God, all right with man and ill right forever. Lamartine tells us that Ki; _ Nimrod said to his three sons: "Here are three vases, and one is of clay, another of amber and another of gold. Choose now which you will have.” The eld <t n , having first choice, chose tho vase of gold, on which was written the word ‘ Empire,” and when opened it was found to contain human blood. The sec ond son, making the next choice, chose tlie vase of amber, inscribed with the word “Glory,” and wlien opened it contained the ashes of those who were once called great. The third son took the vase of clay, and. ouening it, found it empty, but on the bottom of it was inscribed the name of Ct;. d. King Nimrod asked his courtiers which vase they thought weighed the im -t The avaricious men of his court , said the vase of gold. The poets said the one of amber. But the wisest men said the empty vase, because one letter of the I name of God outweighed a universe. Tlie World Too Vneertain. For him I thirst; for his gnute I bog; on his promise 1 build niy aIL Without him I cannot be happy. I have tried the world, and it does well enough as far as it goes, but it is too uncertain a world, too evanes cent a world. lam not a prejudiced wit ness. I have nothing against this world. I have been one of the most fortunate, or, ' to use a too re Christian word, one of the most blesM.’d of men—blessed in my par ents, blessed in the place of my nativity, blessed in my health, blessed in my field of work, blcssi'd in my natural tempera ment, blessed in my family, blessed in my opportunities, blessed iu a comfortable livelihood, blessed in the hope that my soul will g > to heaven through the pardon ing mercy of God, and my body, unleM it be lost at sea or cremated in some confla gration, will lie down in the gardens of Greenwood among my kindred and friends, some already gone and others to come after me. Life to many has been a disapixiintment, but to me it has been a pleasant surprise, and yet I declare 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 have 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 brooks, so fianteth my soul after thee, O God.” Faith In Adversity. Through Jams Christ make this God your God, and you can withstand anything 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, an swered, “No; I am glad that I have a God who can shake the world;” or, as in a financial panic, when a Christian merchant wiw asked if he did not fear he would break, answered: “Yes, I shall break when the Fiftieth Psalm breaks in the fifteenth verse: ‘Call upon me in the day of trou ble. I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me.’” Oh, Christian men and women, pursued of annoyances and exas perations, remember that this hunt, whether a still hunt or a 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 tho Adirondaeks a deer by one tremendous plunge into Big Tupper lake guts away from him. Tho disappoint ed canine swims in a little way, but, de feated, swims out again and cringes with humiliated yawn at the feet of his master. And how abashed and ashamed will all your earthly troubles 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 pur-, suers. We are told in Revelation xxii, 15, “Without are dogs,” by which I conclude there is a whole kennel of hounds outside the gate of heaven, or, as when a master goes in through a door his dog lies on the steps waiting for him to come out, so the troubles of this life may follow us to the s.Jning door, but they cannot get in. “Without are dogs I” I have seen dogs and owned dogs that I would not txj chagrined to see in the heavenly city. Some of the grand old watchdogs who are tho con stabulary of the homes in solitary places, and for years have been the only protec tion for wife and child; some of the shep herd dogs that drive back the wolves and bark away the flocks from going too near the precipice, and some of the dogs whoso neck and paw Landseer, the painter, has made immortal, would not find me shut ting 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, tho Scotch essayist, saw ready to spring at the surgeon lest in removing the cancer he too much hurt the poor woman whom tho dog felt bound to protect, and dogs that w’e caressed in our childhood days, or that in later time lay down on the rug in seeming sympathy when our homes were desolated. I say if some soul entering heaven should happen to leave the gate ajar and these faithful creatures should quietly walk in it would not at all disturb my heaven. But all those human or brutal hounds that have chased and torn and lacerated the world, yea, all that now bite or worry or tear to pieces, shall be prohib ited. “Without are dogs !” No place there for harsh critics or backbiters or despoil ers of the reputation of others. Down with you to the kennels of darkness and de spair I The hart has reached the eternal Water brooks, and the panting of the long •base is quieted in still pastures, and “there shall nothing hurt or destroy in all God’s holy mountain.” A Olorlonii Rencne. Oh, when some of you get there it will be like what a hunter tells of when push ing his canoe far up north in the winter and amid the ice floes and 100 miles, as he thought, from any other human beings. He was startled one day as he heard a stepping on the ice, and he cocked the rifle ready to meet anything that came near. He found a man, barefooted and insane from long exposure, 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 fired and banquets spread, 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 tho villages of the glorified, and your friends rush out to give you welcoming kiss, the news that there is another soul forever saved will call the caterers of heaven to spread the banquet, and the bellmen to lay hold of the rope in the tower, and while the chalices click at tho feast and the bells clang from the tur rets it will be a scene so uplifting I pray God I may be there to take part in tho celestial merriment. “Until the day break and the shadows flee away, be thou like a roe or a young hart -upon the mountains of Bother.” A TEXAS WONDER.
