Srene In a Summer House—At Ilelalmt- rar's Feast—When the Day of Sorrow Ia (ioue—Tho Light That Follows tho Dark- nesa. Brooklyn, June 4.—The sermon se lected by Rev. Dr. Talmage for this fore noon is founded on tho text Judges iii, 15, "But when tho children of Israel cried unto 1 he Lord tho Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud, tho son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left handed.” Ehud was a ruler In Israel. He was left handed, nnd what was peculiar about the tribe of Benjamin, to which ho belonged, tlioro were in it TOO left handed men, and yet so dexterous had they all become in tho use of the left hand that tlio Biblo says they could sling stones at a hair’s breadth and not miss. Well, there wns a king of the name of Eglon who was nn oppressor of Israel. He imposed upon them a most outrifife- ous tax. Ehud, the mun of whom I first spoko, had a divine commission to de stroy that oppressor. Ho came, pretend ing that lie was going to pay the tux. and asked to see King Eglon. He was told ho was in tho summer house, the place to which the king retired when it was too hot to sit in I lie palace. This summer house was a place surrounded by (lowers and treosnnd springing foun tains and warbling birds. Ehud entered tho summer house and said to King Eglon that, be had « secret errand with him. Immediately all the attendants were waved out of tho royal presonco. King Eglon rises up to re ceive tho messenger. Ehud, tho left handed man, puts Ids left hand to bis right side, pulls out n dagger nnd thrusts Eglon through until tho haft went in after tlio blade. Eglon falls. Ehud conies forth to blow a trumpet of re emit amid the mountains of Ephraim, nnd a great host is marshaled, nml proud Moah submits to tho conqueror, nnd Israel is free. So, O Lord, let ull thy enemies perish! So, O Lord. let. nli thy friends triumph! i.kft luxnrn men. I learn first from this subject the pow er of left handed men. There arc some men who by physical organization have us much strength in their left hand as in their right hand, hut there is something in tlio writing of this text which implies that Ehud had some defect in his right hand which compelled him to uso the left. Oil, the power of left handed men! Genius is often self observant, careful of itself, not given to much toil, burning incense to its own aggrandizement, while many a man with no natural en dowments, actually defective in physical and mental organization, lias an earnest ness for the right, a patient industry, an all consuming perseverance which achieve marvels for the kingdom of Christ. Though left handed as Ehud, they can strike down a sin as great and imperial as Eglon. I have seen men of wealth gathering about them all their treasures, snuffing at tho cause of a world lying in wicked ness, roughly ordering Lazarus off their doorstep, sending their dogs, not to lick his sores, hut to h'ound him off their premises, catching all tho pure rain of God's blessing into the stagnant, ropy, frog inhabited i>ool of their own selfish ness—right handed men, worse than use less—while many a man with large heart and little pulse lias out of his lim ited means made poverty leap for joy and started nn influence that overspans tho grave and will swing round and round the throne of God, world with out end, amen. Ah, mo, it is high timo that you left handed men who have been longing for this gift nnd that eloquence and the other man’s wealth should take your left hand out of your pocket. Who made all these railroads? Who set up all these cities? Who started all these churches nnd schools nnd asylums? Who bus done tho tugging and running and pulling? Men of no wonderful endowments, thou sands of them acknowledging themselves to ho left handed, and yet they were ear nest, and yet they were determined, and yot they were triumphant. But 1 do not suppose that Ehud the first timo lie took a sling in his hand could throw a stone a hair's breadth and not miss. I suppose it was practice that gave him tho wonderful dexterity. Go forth to your spheres of duty and he not discouraged if in your first nttempts you miss tho mark. Ehud missed it. Take another stono, put it carefully into the sling, swing it around your head, take better aim, and the next time you will strike the center. Tho first time a ma son rings his trowel upon the brick he does not expect to put up a perfect wall. Tho first time a carpenter sends a plane over a board or drives a hit through a beam lie does not expect to make perfect execution. Tho first timo a hoy attempts a rhymo ho does not expect to chime a "Lalla Rookh" ora “Lady of the Lake.” Do not be surprised if in your first ef forts at doing good you are not very largely successful. Understand that use fulness is an art, a science, a trado. There was an oculist performing a very difficult operation on the human eye. A young doctor stood by and said: "How easily you do that. It doesn’t seem to cause you any trouble at all." "Ah,” said the old oculist, "it is very easy now, but I spoiled a hatful of eyes to learn that.” Be not surprised if it takes soruo practice before we can help men to moral eyesight and bring them to a vision of the cross. Left handed men to the workl Tako the gospel for a sling and faith and repentance for tho smooth stono from tho brook, take sure aim, God direct tlio weapon, and great Goliaths will tumble before you. When Garibaldi was going out to bat tle, ho told his troops what ho wanted them to do, and after he had described what lie wanted them to do they said, “Well, general, what aro you going to give us for all this?” “Well,” he replied, "I don’t know what else you will get, hut you will get hunger and cold and wounds and death.

We aro the men!” The Lord Jesus Christ calls you to his service. I do not promise you un easy time in this world. Y’ou may have persecutions, and trials, nnd misrepresentations, but after ward there comes nn eternal weight of glory, nnd you can hear the wounds, and the bruises, and the misrepresentations if you can have the reward afterward. Have you not enough enthusiasm to cry »ut: "We are tho men! Wo are the men?" DANGER OP WORLDLY ELEVATION. I learn also from this subject tho dan ger of worldly elevation. This Eglon was what tho world called a great man There were hundreds of peoplo who would have considered it the greatest honor of their lifo just to have him speak to them. Yet although lie is so higli up in worldly position lie is not beyond the reach of Ehud's dagger. 1 see a great many peoplo trying to climbup in social position, having an idea that thcro is a safe place somewhere far above, not knowing that tho mountain of fame has a top like Mont Blanc, covered with per petual snow. We laugh at tho children of Shinar for trying to build a tower that could teach to the heavens, hut 1 think if our eyesight were only good enough we could see n Babe) in many a doorynrd. Oil, the struggle is tiercel It is store against store, house against house, street against stroet, nation against nation The goal for which men are running is chnirs aud chandeliers nnd mirrors and houses nnd lands and presidential equipments. It they get what they an ticlpato, what have they got? Men are not safe from calumny while they live, and. worse than that, they are not safe after they are dead, lor 1 have seen twine root up graveyards. One day a man goes up into publicity, nnd tho world does him honor, and jieo- pie climb up into sycamore trees to watch him ns lie passes, and as lie goe ulotig on tho shoulders of the people there is a waving of hats and a wild huzza. Tomorrow the same man it caught between the jnws of tho print ing press and mangled and bruised, and the very same persons who applauded hire heforo cry “Down with the traitor! Down with hirr.I” Belshazzar sits at. the feast, the mighty men of Babylon sitting nil around him. Wit sparkles like thewim and the wine liko the wit. Music rolls up among Iho chandeliers, tho clinndc tiers Hash down on tho decanters Tht breath of hanging gardens floats in on tho night air; tho voice of revelry float out. Amid wreaths nnd tapestry nnd folded banners a finger writes. The march of a host is hoard on the stairs Laughter catches in the throat. A lliou sand hearts stop beating. The blow is struck. Tho blood on tho floor is ricliot hued than tlio wine on tho table. The kingdom has departed. Belshazzar was no worse perhaps than hundreds of peoplo in Babylon, hut his position slew him. Oh, he content with just such a position us God has placed you ini It nmy not bo said of us, "He was u great general," or "Ho was an honored chieftain," or "He was might) in worldly attainments,” hut this thing may bo said of you and me, "He was i good citizen, a faithful Christian, r friend of Jesus," And that in tho last day will ho tlio highest of ull oulogiuuis EYES AND SEE NOT. I learn further from this subject that death comes to tho summer house. Eg Ion did not expect to die in that fine place. Amid all tho flower leuves that drifted liko summer snow into the win : (low; in the tinkle and dash of the foun tains; in the sound of a thousand leaves fluttering on one treo branch; in tlio cool breeze that came up to shako feverish trouble out of the king’s locks, there was nothing that spake of death, but tliero ho died! In tlio winter, when the snow is a shroud, nnd when the wind is a dirge, it is easy to think of our mortal ity, hut when tho weather is pleasant and ull our surroundings are agreeable how difficult it is for us to appreciate the truth that wo aro mortal! And yet my text teaches that death does some times come to tlio summer house. Ho is blind nnd cannot see the leaves. He is denf and cannot hear the foun tains. Oh, if death would ask us for victims, wo could point him to hundreds of people who would rejoico to have him come. Push hack the door of that hovel. Look at (hut little child—cold nnd sick and hungry. It lias never heard tho name of God hut in blasphemy. Par* ents intoxicated staggering around its straw bed. Oh, death, there is a mark for thee! Up with it into the light! Be fore these little feet stumble on life’s pathway give them rest. Hero is un aged man. Ho has done his work. Ho lias done it gloriously. The companions of his youth are all gone, his children dead. lie longs to he at rest, and wearily the days and the nights pass. Ho says, "Come, Lord Jo bus, come quickly." Oh, death, there b a mark for tlioel Take from him the 6taff and give him the scepter! Up with him into the light, where eyes never grow dim, and the air whitens not through the loug years of eternity Ah death will not do that. Death turns back from tho straw bed and from the aged man ready for tho skies and comes to the summer house. What doest thou here, thou bony, ghastly monster, amid this waving grass and under this sunlight sifting through the tree branches? Children are at play How quickly their feet go and their Jocks toss in the wind I Father and mother stand at the side of the room looking on, enjoying their glee. It does not seem possible that tho wolf should over break into that fold and carry off a lamb. Meanwhile an old archer stands looking through the thicket. He points his arrow at the brightest of the group —he is a suro marksman—the how bends, the arrow speeds! Hush, now! Thequick feet liuve stopped, and tlio locks toss no more in tho wind.

The children whisper and walk softly where once they romped. Passing the house late at night, you see the quick glancing of lights from room to room. It is all over. Death tn the summer house! THE DARK SIDE AND THE LIGHT. Here is an aged mother—aged, but not infirm. You think you will have tho joy of caring for tier wants a good while yet. As she goes from house to house, to chil dren and grandchildren, her coming is a dropping of sunlight in the dwelling. Y'our children see her coming through the lane, and they cry, “Grandmother’s cornel" Care for you lias marked up her face with njany a deep wrinkle, and her hack stoops with carrying your burdens. Some day she is very quiet. She saysslio Is not sick, but something tells you you will not much longer have mother. She will sit with you no more nt the table nor at the hearth. Her soul goe; out so gently yon do not exactly know the mo ment of its going.

But what of that? Must we stand forever mourning among the graves of our dead. Not Nol The people in Bengal bring cages of birds to the graves of their dead nnd then they open the cages, nnd tho birds go singing heavenward. So 1 would bring to the graves of your dead all bright thoughts and congratulations nnd bid them think of victory and redemp tion. 1 stumpon the bottom of the grave and it breaks through into the light and the glory of heaven. Tho ancients usod to think tlint the straits entering the Red sea were very dangerous places, and they supiioseil that every ship that went through those straits would be destroyed, and they were in the habit of putting on weeds of mourning for those who had gone on that voyage, as though they were Actu ally dead. Do you know what they called those Btraits? They call them tho “Gate of Tears." Oh, I stand today at the gate of tears through which many of your loved ones have gone, and 1 want to tell you that all are not shipwrecked that liuve goue through those straits into the great ocean stretching out beyond. Tho sound that comes from thai ether shore on still nights when wo ure wrap ped in prayer makes me think that the departed aro not dead.

After tho sharpest winter the spring dismounts from the shoulder of a south ern gale aud puts its warm hand upon the earth, and in its pulin there conies the grass, and there come tho flowers, nnd God reads over the poetry of bird and brook and bloom and pronounces it very good. What, my frionds, if every winter had uut its spring, and every night its day, und every gloom it s glow, nnd every bittor now its sweet hereafter? If you have been on tho sea, you know ns the ship passes in tho night, thero is a phosphorescent track left behind it, ami as the waters roll up they toss with un imaginable splendor. Well, across this groat ocean of human trouble Jesus walks. Oh, that iu tho phosphorescent track of his foot wo might all follow and he illumined! Thero was a gentleman in the rail car who saw in that same car three passen gers of very different circumstances. Tho first was a maniac. Ha was care fully guarded by his attendants: his mind, like a ship dismasted, was boat ing against a dark, desolate coast, from which no help could come. The train stopped, and the man was taken out into the asylum to waste away perhaps through years of gloom. The second passenger wns a culprit. Tho outraged law had seized on him. As tho cars jolted the clmins rattled. On his face were crime, depravity and despair. The train halted, and he was taken out to the penitentiary, to which he had been con demned. 1 here was the third passen ger under far different circumstances. She was n bride. Every hour was gay as a marriage bell. Life glittered and beckonod. Her companion was taking her to his father’s house. The train halted. The old man was thero to wel come her tc her new home, and his white locks snowed down upon her us he sealed his word with a father’s kiss. Quickly we fly toward eternity. We will soon be there. Some leave this life condemned culprits. They refused a pur- don; they carry their chains.
