the telegraph Is Increasing, too. It is

[The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D. D., is
now the most distinguished and beat
known evangelist in the country. He was.
second only to Dr. Talmage, .but since the
death of thnt famous preacher Dr. Chap
man has the undisputed possession of the
Pulpit as the preacher to influenoe the
S un people. His services as an evangel-
are in constant demand., His sermons
have stirred the hearts of then and - women
to a degree unapproached by any latter-
day divme. J. Wilbur Chapman was born
in Richmond, Ind., June 17, i860. He was
educated at Oberliti College and Lake For
est University, and graduated for the min-
istry from the Lane Theological Semin
ary, Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1882. His ser
mons are simple and direct, so that their
influence.ia not so much due to exciting
the emotions as to winning the hearts ana
convincing the minds of those who hear

the Fourth Presbyterian Church, New
York City.]
New Yoiik City.—The Rev. Dr. J. Wil
bur Chapman, the popular pastor-evangel-
i»t, who is now preaching to overflowing
congregations in this city, has furnished
the following eloquent sermoa to the
press. It was preached from the text
Genesis xxiv, 68: "Wilt thou go with this
man? And she said, I will go."
This is. tho story of an Old Testament
wedding in which our text is found, and
naturally because it is a marriage scene it
is interesting. The saying that “all tho
world loves a lover" is very true, and I
suppose is not without meaning tne wide
world round, but there is Something about
an Oriental wedding which is especially
interesting. Again and again in this Book
of Inspiration such scenes are recorded,
but of. ail the .Old Testament stories I
place this the first of its kind.
„I» I were an artist I should paint it, and
if I were an artist worthy of my theme it
would surpass the other masterpieces in
the world s great gallery of art, notably
that of the Russian wedding feast, which
has had admiration everywhere. 'The
heart of the picture is an old man; his
hair is whitened with grief which in the
past days has taken hold upon him, and
the Imea of his countenance have been
peculiarly softened by the touch of the
finger of sorrow, leaving an expression
which can only come to those who have
been obliged to bear great burdens and
endure great afflictions.
Abraham is practically alone in tho
world, for Sarah is gone. She who had
journeyed with him to Bethel, down into
Egypt and back again to Hebron, the
place of fellowship, is at rest, and in the
cave of Afncbpelah she waits by his side
to hear the summons given at the resur
rection morning. Abraham was desolate.
They hail made so long a journey together
that their lives were like one.
“In the long years liker had they grown.
Till at the last she set herself to him
Lika perfect music unto noble words.”
Above him is God, who has kept His
word with him when He said, “As I was
with Moses so I, will be with thee;" about
him the angels who keep watch over him
all day and ail the night in sleepless vigil;
before him the trusted servant to whom
he speaks, “And Abraham was old nnd
well stricken in nge: and the Lord had
blessed Abraham in all things. And Abra
ham said unto his eldest servant of his
house, that ruled over all that he had, Put,
I P r »y thee, thy hand under my thigh,
ana I will make thee swear by the Lord,
the.God of heaven, and the God of earth,
that thou shalt not take a wife unto my
aon of the daughter of the Canaanites,
among whom I dwell. But thou shalt go
unto my country, and to my kindred, and
take a wife unto my aon Isaac. And the
servant said unto him, Peradventure the
woman will not be willing to follow me
unto this land; must I needs bring thy
aon again unto the land from whence thou
earnest? And Abraham said unto him,
Beware thou, that thou bring not my son
thither again. The Lord God of heaven,
which took me from my father’s house,
and from the land of my kindred, and
which spake unto me, aud that aware unto
roe, saying. Unto thy seed will I give this
land; He shall tend His angel before tLce;
and thou shalt take a wifi unto my son
from, thence. And if the woman will not
bo willing to follow thee, then thou shalt
be clear from this my oath; only bring not
my ton thither again. And tho servant
put his hand under the thigh of Abraham,
his master, and aware to him concerning
that matter.” Genesis 24: 1-9.
One of the incidents of the. picture would
be the setting forth of this servant. “And
the servant took ten cameli of the camels
of his master, and departed; for all the
goods of his matter were in his hand; and
ho arose and went to Meeopotamia, unto
the city of Nahor." Genesis 24: .10. One
of the most picturesque sights of the East
ie a camel train. With a peculiar swinging
gait these strange animals of the desert
f lush, their way along on a most interest-
ng journey, but the picture can only be
appreciated when looked upon in the at
mosphere of the Orient. I counted 100
one morning journeying toward the pyra-
mida beyond Cairo. The train of this old
servant wot made np of ten camels only,
but. they were the camels of a prince,
rheir trappings were gorgeous, nnd side
by side with Abraham we Votch them as
they go until they are lost to view.
The next incident ia the approach to Na
hor. It is the hour of sunset, the day is
.. , , ..—_ —- day is far spent
the night is at hand. The birds bush their
tong, the cattle are still, all nature ia at
rest, the hills are transfigured and the
nveie and the teas are like most beautiful
jewele. Ladened with precious gifts-the ten
camels kneel just as the women are coming
forth to draw water from the well. The
o’d servant as they kneel begins to pray.
And let it come to pasa that the damsel
to whom I shall say. Let down thy pitcher,
I pray thee, that I drink; and she
shall say, Drink, and i will give thy cam
els drink also; let the same lie she that
Thou halt appointed for Thy aervant
Iaaac; mid thereby shall I kno.w that Thou
hast showed kindness unto my master."
Genesis 24: 14,. and the answer comes at
once. ‘And it‘came to pam, before he
had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah
“■ue.out, who was bom to Bethuel, aon
of Milcah,.tbe wifeTif Nahor, Abraham's
brother^with her pitcher upon her. shout-
Elastic of step, modest of manner, pure
of heart, fair of fsee she stands in the
presence of the servant of Abraham. As
to parentage she was the daughter of
Bethuel; as to condition she was of virgin
pnnty; as to appearance she was fair to
look upon; as to education (he waa trained
to domestic service. This is Rebekah, the
hfide of the picture. "And the roan won
dering at her held bis peace, to witness
whether the Lord had made his journey
prosperous or not. And it came to pass,
as the camels had done drinking, that the
man took a golden earring of half a shekel
weight, and two bracelets for her hands
of ten shekels weight of gold,- and said,
Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray
thee; is there room in thy father's bouse
for us tu lodge in? And she said unto
him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the
son of Milcab, which she bare unto Nahor.
She said moreover unto him, We have
both straw and provender enough and
room to lodge in. And the man bowed
down his head and worshiped the Lord."
Genesis 24: 21-26. i
The next incident is the wooing and the
departure. The old servant tells bis story,
makes his appeal, and the text Is spoken,
“Wilt thou go with this man? And she
said, I will go." Genesis 24: 68. And the
camel train is moving once more/the fam
ily of Rebekah watching until the last
camel is lost to view in the distance. The
journey is uneventful, but the end of it is
more than striking. "And Isaac went out
to meditate in the field at eventide; and
he lifted np his eyes, and taw, and. behold,
the camels were coming. And Rebekah
lifted up her eyes, and when she saw
Isaac she lighted off the camel. For she
had said unto the servant, What man is
this that walketh in the field to meet us?
And the servant had said, It is my master;
therefore she took a veil and covered her
self. And the servant told Isaac all things
that he had done. And Isaac brought Her
unto his mother Sarah’s tent, and took
Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he
loved her, and Isaac was comforted after
his mother’s death.”' Genesis 24: 63-67.
I.
Here, is a lesson of divine providence.
Hear Abraham when he says, “The Lord,
God of heaven which took me from my
father’s bouse, and from the land of my
kindred, and which spake unto me, and
that aware unto me, saying, Unto th.v
seed will I give this laird; He shall send
His anyol before thee, and thou shalt
take a wife unto my son from thence.”
Genesis, 24: 7. We think of this as Old
Testament history simply. We hear God
saying, "As I was with Moses I will be
with thee,” and we say certainly, but not
with myself. Why it is we always think
of God's care of the patriarchs as mira
cles, without its counterpart is in our own
Iwes, when God is our Father, everything
In our life is precious to Him, and the
very hairs of our head are numbered? He
is the God of'Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
and He is your God. The angel of the
Lord is still living. We have grown world'
ly wise and speak or impressions, cowrie
tions,_ coincidences,' impulses, when all the
time it is the angel of the Lord speaking
to us. Have you noticed that there were
two servants, one winged one in the air
and the other in charge of the camels. It
is always so. It is by this double ministry
that .providences are confirmed. All
through life we see it; in the conversion
of men, in things common and in things
unusual. You say, "I feel a strong im
pulse to do a certain thing.” It is the an
gel of the Lord troubling the stagnation ot
your heart. You eay that I am impressed
that I ought to do thus and so, when it
is the finger of God writing His purpose
on your soul. These are but the heavenly
ministers of Jehovah. Look around you
and you will find some opportunity for
service fitting into your impulse or con
viction, and that which yesterday you
wondered at os a coincidence fills you
with the spirit of worship to-day as you
eay, “The Lord was in this place and 1,
knew it n9t." “Life without a religious
interpretation is little less than a trag
edy,” while life thus viewed may have
many twists and turns, but ends in heaven.
II.
I find here a good picture of real service.
When Eleazar was leaving Abraham be
said, “Peradventure, tho woman will not
bo willing to follow me unto this land;
must I needs hring thy son again unto the
land from whence thou earnest?’’ And
Abraham said unto him, "Beware, thou,
that Jhou bring not my son thither again.
The Lord Goa of heaven, which took me
from my-father’s house, and from the land
of my kindred, and which spake unto me,
and that aware unto me, saying, Unto th.v
seed will I give this land; He shall send
His angel betore thee, and thou shalt take
a wife unto my son from thence. And it
the woman will not be willing to follow
thee then thou shalt be clear from this
my oath; only bring not my son thither
again." Genesis 24: 6-8.
It is the same figure that we have oi
the watchman upon the walls. Both of
these appeal strongly to us. We are not
free from responsibility until we have tried
at leaat to win every aoul over whom we
have an influence for Chriit. I cannot con
vert even the smallest child, nor can you,
but I can try to tell them what I have
been commissioned to say, for I am my
brother’s keeper. Oh, for the intense de-
■ire to do our Master’s will that Eleazai
had. His camels are cared for, <he has
entered the house of Bethuel. He is
weary with his long journey, the savory
meat prepared for his feast appeals tc
hia weakness, but hear him say, “And
there was-set meat before'him to eat;
but he said, I will not eat, until I have
told mine errand. And he said, speak
on. Genesis 24: 33. Is not this like
Paul on his missionary journey. "In
journeying* often, in perils of waters, in
perils of robbers, in perils by mine own
countrymen, in -perils by the heathen, in
perils m the city, in perils in the wilder
ness, in perils in the sea, in perils among
false brethren; in weariness aud painful
ness, in watchings often, in hunger and
thirst, in fastings often, in cold and
nakedness." 2 Corinthians II: 26-27. And
is it not like Jesus Himself, when He it
weary by the well side, hungry with
much fasting and sends His disciple tc
buymeat .which He forgot to eat. because
of the woman by Hie side. I am sure
Rebekah saw in him the great love ol
Isaac s heart. And when they said,
“wilt thou go with thia man? She said
I will go."
HI.
Yet there is more to the story that
this. I am sure. I know it because 1
read that what was written afore time
was written for our instruction. The
great object and aim of the Bible is tt
illustrate [he operations of divine grace
to show the works of Providence in the
minute things of life, to show us that
provision has been made for the fulfill
ment of the great scheme of Redemption
God speaks in every way; by direct state
ment, by parable, by picture, by types
by symbols, if by all means He may make
known the nchee of His grace; and here
>» a whole chapter, one of the longest ir
the Pentateuch, taken up with a weddinj
story; there must be some reason. The
spirit of God would not use an entire
chapter to describe the journey of Abra
ham to Mt. Moriah, and another to tell
flee, at least Abraham is willing to oiler
him; .in the 23d chapter of Generis
Sarah is laid aside in the tomb, while in
the 24th chapter the servant is sent forth
to win a bride' for the son. It is at least
a perfect illustration of that New Testa
ment story where Christ waa offered, the
only, begotten Son of God, where Israel
was rejected because they would not
come home. The Holy Spirit, as a serv
ant of God. ia calling forth from the
world a. bride for the Son. This is the
work of this generation. The Holy Spirit
is the one of whom Jesus spoke when. He
said, "But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the Spirit of Truth,-which
proceeded from the Father, He shall testi
fy of Me." John 16: 28. One day we
shall meet the Bridegroom, our eyes shall
see Him and the wedding feaat shall be
spread, and all, Heaven shall resound with
the music of that glad day.
IV.
of .the death of
grew 'ah' account
ding without
be th
refer to Christ os this Man. He is the
cbiefest among ten thousand. I bid you
come to Him who walked, with men, ate
with sinners, smiled with little children,
wept, with weary women and died with
sinful malfactors. "Wilt thou go with this
Man?” You who are Christians I ask you
the question, for many of you have not
gone with Him, for "How can two walk
together except they are agreed?” And
if yon will go with Him it must be in
some better way than in other days.
First: You must share His opinion ox
men. He was always excusing weakness,
always helping the distressed and al
ways rebuking unkmd criticism. You may
need to forgive the man who injured
you yesterday, for He did, and if you
would be like Him you must do the same.
"Wilt thou go with this Man?”
Second: He will lead you into the
homes where distress is tarrying, reliev
ing embarrassment ns when He made the
water into wine. Driving the wolf from
the door as when He fed the multitudes.
You will need to give your money as well
as your sympathy. "Wilt thou go with
this Man?” I think I see Him treading
they streets of our own city where dis
tress has gone before Him. There is a
child with a heavy heart, nnd He stops
long enough to breathe a benediction of
pence. Yonder is a man upon the verge
of despair, and this matchless Savior ot
ours bids him come unto Him that he may
find rest. There is a woman whose child
is dying, whose mother is on the brink
of Eternity,- and He who spoke as never
man spake bids her listen as He says,
"I am the resurrection and -he life.”
There is a celebrated picture which rep
resents Jesus walking through the multi
tude. Before Him all the people are dis
eased, while back of Him as he trods
they are all perfectly well. This is Hvs
influence always.' "Wilt thou go with
this Man?”
V. *
I put it to all those of you who are
not Christians, and bid you remember
that It is not an- invitation to come to
Christ simply but a command, and in
His name, after the manner of 'Eleazar, I
say, "Deal kindly and truly with my
Master." By His beautiful life, wilt thon
go? By His agony in the Garden, wilt
thou go? By His betrayal and His trial
of mockery, wilt thou go? By His shame
ful death, I ask you ouce again, wilt thou
go? His marred face and His bleeding
back. His breaking heart. His cry of
agony, wilt thou go with this Man? He
hath trodden the wine press alone for
you; He was a man of sorrows and ac
quainted with grief for you. It is the
moment of crisis iii your life. "Wilt
thou go with this Man?” Answer, and
answer it now as did Rebekah, “I will
go." Oh, say it; say it. and the Devil
shall hear it and tremble, the angels
shall hear it and shout for joy. God Him
self shall hear it and shall rejoice with
joy unspeakable.
Seeking the Truth.
Kicodemus represents a large multitude
of men and women in the world to-day.
He waa seeking truth if not salvation for
his restless soul. He was so interested
that he did not wait until morning: but
came to Jesus by night. Some have sug
gested that he did this not because of his.
anxiety, but because he did not have the
moral courage to come to the unpopular
teacher by daylight. If so the offense was
not an unpardonable one, for Jesus did
not even rebuke' him. He welcomes the
coming of the most timid, the moat
doubting, the most unworthy. Nicodemus,
like nearly all the world who know any
thing about Jesus,' recognized His moral
supremacy. They know He is a teacher
sent from God by the same test that
Nicodemus applied. But that compliment
is immaterial to the Christ. That ac
knowledgment has no saving value. "Ex
cept a man be born again” is the ever
lasting sine qua non. the absolute and ir
revocable condition for a heavenly career.
How could Jesus have made plainer the
necessity of the “Ifew Birth!” How is it
therefore that more than half the world,
more than half, perhaps, of nominal Chris
tendom, are persistently searching for
some other way. Why is it so! The
world appropriates other common bless
ings from God’s hands without demur or
question. His sunshine and sweet nir are
taken greedily nnd counted good. Millions
have tested His plan of life; His way of
salvation, and rejoice in the experience.
'They give ns their word that they find
joy and peace. And yet the world is slow
to follow. Is it a sign of a perverse heart,
or a constitutional incapacity to act in
one’s own interest? Jesus was patient with
the slow .believing Nicodemus. But He did
not have nearly twenty ' centuries of
Christian testimony to hear witness to the
truth. That is why it will be less toh
erable in the judgment for ns than for
those of Tyre and Sidon and the genera
tions thnt have gone to their reward and
doom.—Ram’s Horn.
