THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN
DAY SERMON.
Subject: ‘*VTould You Like to Liio
Tour Life Over Again.'’
Text: 11 All that a man hath will lit give
for his life. '-Job. ii., 4.
That is untrue. The Lord <J1d not say it,
but Satan said it to the Lord, when the e\-ii
one wanted Job stilt more afflicted. The
record i-: “So went Satan forth from the
presence of the Lord and smote Job with sore
boils.'’ And Satan has been the author of all
eruptive disease since then, and he hope? by
poisoning the blood to poison the soul. But
the result of the diabolical experiment which
left Job victor proved the falsity of the
Satanic remark—" All that a man hath
will he give for his life.'’ Many a
captain who has stood on the bridge of
the steamer till his passengers got off
and he drowned, many an engineer who
has kept his hand on the throttle valve
or his foot ■ >n the brake until the most of t he
train wa? saved while he went down to death
through the open drawbridge: many a fire¬
man who plunged into a blazing house to get
a sleeping child out, sacrificing his life in the
attempt, and thousands of martyrs who sub¬
mitted 1 1 > fiery stake and knife of massacre
and headsman's ax and guillotine rather than
surrender principle, proving that when in many it a
case my text was not true, says:
“All that a man hath will he give for his
life.”
But Satan's falsehood was built on a truth.
Life is very precious, and if we would not
give up aif there are many things we would
surrender rather than surrender it. \\ e see
how precious life is from the fact that we do
everything to all prolong :. Hence all sanitary
regulations, study of hygiene, all fear of
draughts, all waterproofs, all doctors, all
medicines, all struggle in crisis of accident.
An admiral of the British navy was court
martialed for turning his ship around in time
of danger and so damaging the ship. It was
proved against him. But when his time came
to be heard lie said: “Gentlemen. I did turn
the ship around and admit that it was dam¬
aged. but do you want to know why I
turned it? There was a man over
board, and I wanted to save him, and
I did save him, and I consider tae life of one
sailor worth all the vessels of the British
navy.” So wonder ire was vindicated. Life
is indeed very precious. Tea, there are
those who deem life so precious they would
like to repeat it. they would like to try it
again. They would like to go back from
seventy to sixty, from sixty to fifty, from
fifty to fortv, from forty to thirty, from
thirty to twenty. I purpose for very prac¬
tical and useful purposes, as will appear be¬
fore I get through, to discuss the question have
we have all asked of others, and others
again and again asked of us—would you like
to live vour life over again? intelligent and right

have all made so many mistakes, stumb.ed
into so man y blunders, said so may tilings
that ought no: to have been said and done so
many things that ought not to have been
done, that v.e can suggest at least ninety-five
per cent, of improvement. Now would it
not be grand if the good Lord would say to
you: “You can go back and try it over
again. I will by a word turn vour hair to
brown or black or golden, and smooth all
the wrinkles out of your temple and
check, and take the bend out of your
shoulders, and extirpate the stiffness from
the joint and the rheumatic twinge from the
foot, and you shall be twenty-one years of
age j .— and 1 just — what you were when you
reached that point before.” If the thousands proposi¬
tion were made I think many
would accept it. That feeling caused-the
ancient search for what was called the Foun
tair. of Youth, the wabri's of - vuxeit
„„uiu - v,„ of the octogenarian into
the curlv locks of a boy. and however old a
person who drank at that fountain he would
be young again. The island was said to
belong to the. group of the Bahamas, but
lay far out in the ocean. The great Span¬
ish explorer, Juan Ponce de Leon, fellow
vovager with Columbus, I have no doubt
felt that if lie could discover that Fountain
of Youth he would do as much as his friend
had done in discovering America. So he put
out in 1512 from Porto Rico and cruised
about among the Bahamas in search of that
fouutain. I am glad he did not find it.
There is no such fountain. But if there
were and its waters were bottled up and sent
abroad at a thousand dollars a bottle, the de¬
mand would be greater than the supply, and
many a man who has come through a
life of uselessness, and perhaps sin, to
old age would be shaking up directed the po¬
tent liquid, and if lie were to
take only a teaspoonful after each meal
would be so anxious to make sure work lie
would take a tablespoonful, and if directed to
take a tablespoonful would take a glassful.
But some of you would have to go back
further than to twenty-one years of age to
make a fair start, for there are many who
manage to get all wrong before that period.
Yea, in order to get a fair start some would
have so go back to the father and mother and
get'them corrected; yea, to ti;e grandfather
and grandmother and have their
life corrected, for some of yon are
suffering from bad hereditary influ
ences which started a hundred tit years vt
ago. XV ell. if yo graudmtner

think that it is better each to
have only one chance and then for them
to pass off and give another generation a
chance.
Beside that, if we were permitted to live
life over again, it would be a stale and stupid
experience. The zest and spur and enthu¬
siasm of life come from the fact that wa have
never been along this road before, and every¬
thing is new. and we are alert for what may
appear at the next turn of the road. Sup¬
pose you, a man in mid-life or old age, were,
with your present feelings the and thirties, large attain¬
ments, put back into or the

you would be to others and what an unhap¬

Why. what an uninteresting boy you
be with vour present attainments in a child's

the house: A philosopher at twenty, a scien¬
tist at fifteen, an archaeologist at ten and a
domestic nuisance all the time. An oak
crowded into an acorn. A Rocky Mountain
eagle thrust back into the egg shell from
which it was hatched.
Besides that, if you took life over again,
you would have to take its deep sadnesses

something like mine one day last .November
in Italv. I walked through a great city witn in ail a
friend and two guides, and there were
thecitv oniv four persons and they were those

Ill t:ie streets were the deco worn rufcs of
wagons, but not a wagon in the city. On
the front stems q: mansions the word “Wel¬
come, ’ in Latin, but no human being to
greet us. The only bodies of ary of
the citizens ttiat we saw were petrified
and in the museums at the gates. Of
the thirty-five thousand people who
once lived in those homes and worshiped in
those temples and clapped in those theatres,
not one left! For eighteen hundred years

that, would you want to risk the
temptations of life over again? From the
fact that you are here I conclude that though
in many respects your life may have been
unfortunate and unconscerated you have got
on so far tolerably well, if nothing more than
tolerable. As for myself, though consecrated mv life has
neon tar lroiu being as as -
would like to have had it, I would not want
to try it over again,lest next time I would do
worse. Why, just look at the temptations we
have all passed through and jnst look at the
multitudes who have gone completely under.
Just call over the roll of your school mates
and college mates, the clerks who were with
you ill the same store or bank, or the opera¬
tives in the same factory with just as good
prospects as you. who have come to told complete
mishap. Some young man that you
that he was going to be a millionaire and
own the fastest trotters on Westchester turn¬
pike and retire by the time he was thirty-live
years of age, you do not hear from for many
years, and know nothing about him until
some day he comes into your store and asks
for five mother cents to get household a mug of beer. You, the
good of a and all your
children rising up to call you blessed, can ro
member when viliage you were quite jealous of the
belle of the who was so transcendly
fair and popular. But while you have these
two honorable and queenly names of wife and
mother, she became a poor waif of the street,
and went into the blackness of darkness for¬
ever. Live life over again? Why, if many
of those who are now respectable were
permitted to experiment. the next You
journey would be demolition.
got through, as Job says, by the skin of the
teeth. Next time you might not get through
at all. Satan would say: “I know him now
better than I did before, and have for fifty
years been studying his weaknesses, and I
will weave a stronger web of circumstances to
catch him next time.” And Satan would
concenter his forces on this one man, and the
last state of that man would be worse than
the first. My friends, our faces are in the
right direction. Better go forward than
backward, even if we had the choice. The
greatest disaster I can think of would
be for you to return to boyhood in 1890. Oh,
if life were a smooth Luzerne or Cayuga Lake,
I would like to get into a yacht and -sail over
it, not once, but twice—yea, a thousand
times. But life is an uncertain sea, and
some of the ships crash on the fire icebergs of
cold indifference, and some take of evil
passion, and some lose their bearings and run
into the skerries, and some arc never hoard
of. Surely on such a treacherous sea as that
one voyage is enough.
Besides all this, do you know if you could
have your wish and live life over again it
would put you so much further from reun¬
ion with your friends in heaven? If you are
in the noon of life or the evening of life you
are not very far from the golden gate at
which you are to meet your transported and let
emparadised loved ones. You are now,
us say, twenty years or ten y ears or one year
off from celestial conjunction. Now suppose
you went back in your earthly life thirty
years or forty years or fifty years, what a,:
awful postponement; of the time of i -
It world be as though, jotl Were going to San
Francisco to a great banquet, and you got to
Oakland, four or five miles this side of it, and
then came back to Hoboken or Harlem to get
a better start; as though you were going
to England to be crowned and having come
in sight of the mountains of Wales
you put back to Sandy Hook in order
to make a better voyage. The further
on you got in life, if a Christian, the
nearer you are to the renewal of broken
up companionship. No; the wheel of
time turns in the right direction, and it is
well it turns so fast. Three hundred and
sixty-five revolutions in a year and for¬
ward, rather than three hundred and
ixty-five revolutions in a year and back¬
ward. But hear ye! hear ye! while I tell
you how you may ail practically the better live for your it. You life
over again and be remaining of
may put into the years
your life all you liave learned of wisdom
in your past life. You may make the
coming ten years worth the preced¬
ing forty or fifty years. When a man says
he would like to live his life over again and
cause he would do so much better, yet
goes right on living as he iias always lived, Ho
do you not see he stultifies himself?
proves that if he could go back he would do
almost the same as he has done. If a man
eat green apples some Wednesday in cholera
time and is thrown into fearful cramps and
says on Thursday: “1 wish I had been more
prudent in my diet; oh, if I could live VV ednes
day over again,” and then on Friday >*ats would ap¬
ples just as green, he proves that it
have been no advantage for him to live
Wednesday over again. And if we, deplor¬
ing onr past life and with the idea of im¬
provement, long for an opportunity to try it
over again, y®t go on malting the same mis¬
takes and committing the same sins, we only
demonstrate that the rep 'lotion of our exist¬
ence would afford no improvement. It w,<
green apples before and it would be
green apples over agair.. As soon as a ship
captain strikes a rock n ihe lake ox - s a he
reports it and a buoy is swung over that reef
and marine* henceforth stand off from
that rock. And all our mistakes
in the past ought to be buoys warning us to
keep in the right channel. There is no ex¬
cuse for us ii we split on the far no rock
where we split before. Going along the
sidewalk at night where excavations are be¬
ing made, v.e frequently aside, see a lantern for that oil lan¬ a
framework, and we turn ail
tern says, keep out of this hide. And
along the pathway of life lanterns are set as
warnings, and by the time we come to mid¬
life we ought to know where it is safe to walk
and where it is unsafe.
Beside that, we have all these years been
learning how to be useful, and in the next
decade we ought to accomplish more for Go !
ana the church and Tne worth than in any
previous four decades. The best way to
atone for past indolence or past transgres¬
sion is by future assiduity. Vet you often
find Christian men who were not con¬
verted until they were forty or fifty,
as old age comes on, savine: “Well,
my work is about done and it is time for me
to rest.” They gave forty years of their life
to Satan and the world, a little fragment of
their life to God, and now they want tragedy to re- .
Whether that belongs to comedy or half of ills
I say not. The man who gave one
earthly exi-.feir- to the world and of the n -
maining tin .-quarters one to 1 hnstian wo; ,;
and the other to res’, would not, I sup

my sermon in italics, and have it under¬
scored. and three exclamation points at the
end of the sentenc*-. and that sentence i*
this: As we cannot live our lives over again,
the nearest we can come to atone for the past
is by redoubled holiness and industry in th»
future.
If this rail train of life ha? been detained
and switched off and is far behind the time
table, the engineer for the rest of the way
must put on more pressure of steam and go
a mile a minute in order to arrive at the
right time and place under the approval of
conductor and directors.
As I supposed it would be. then' are multi¬
tudes of young people listening to this sermon
on whom this subject has ueted with the
force of a galvanic battery. Without my
sa ving a word to them, they have soliloquized, life
saying: “As one cannot live his over
again, and I can make -ally one trip, 1 must
look out and make no mistakes; I have but
one chance and I must make the most of it.”
My young friends, l am glad you
made this application of the ser¬
mull yourself. When a in in
ister toward the close of his sermon says:
people “Now a begin few wonis look by around w ay of for application,” their hats
to
and get their arm through one sleeve of their
overcoats, and the sermoaie application is a
failure. I am glad you have made your own
application (Quaker and that you are resolved, like a
of whom i read yeaits ago, who, in
substance, said: “ I shall be along
this path of life but. once and so I must do
all the kindness I can and all the good I can.”
My hearers, the mistakes of youth can never
be corrected. Time gone is gone forever.
An opportunity passed the thousandth part
of a second has by one leap reached the
other side of a great eternity. In the
autumn when the birds migrate you look up
and sco the sky black with wings and the
flocks stretching out into many leagues of
air, and so to-day I look up and see two
large wings in full sweep. They are
the wings of the Hying year. hundred That and is sixty- fol
lowed by a flock of three
five, and they are the flying days. Each of
the flying days is followed by twenty-four,
and the} - are the flying hours, and each of
rhese is followed bv sixty, and these are the
flying minutes. Where did this great flock
stw-t from? Eternity past. Where arc they
bound? Eternity to come. You might
as well go a-gunning for the meadows quails that
whistled last year in the or
the robins that last year caroled in

not say, “1 will now up
afterward.” Young men and boys, you can’t
make it up. My observation is that the end those of
who ill youth sowed wild oats, to
their short life sowed wild oats, and that
those who start sowing Genesee wheat al¬
ways sow Genesee wheat. And then the
reaping of the harvests is so different. There
is grandfather now. He has lived to
old age because his habits have been
good. His eyesight for this world has got
somewhat His dim, hearing but his eyesight for heaven it is
radiant. is not. so acute as
once was, and he must bend clear over to
hear him what what his little he grandchild brought says for when But she
asks has her.
he easily catches tha music raised from,su¬
pernal spheres. Men passing in the streets
take off their hats in reverence, and women
say: “Wlmt a goij»d old man ho i«.” Seventy
or eighty years all for God and for making this
world happy. Splendid! Glorious! Mag¬
nificent! He will have hanl work getting
into heaven because those whom ho the helped
to get there will fill lip and orowd gates
toil'll him how glad they are at his coming
until he says: “Please to stand back a little
till I pass tbrou ?h and cast my crown at the
feet of Him whom having not seen I love.”
I do not know what you eall that. I call it
the harvest of Genesee wheat.
Out yonder is a man very old ought at forty
years of age, at a time when he to
be bouyant as the morning. He got bad
habits on him very early, and those habits
have become worse. He is a man on

with all evil habits, out with the world

man, as you cannot five life over be again to how¬ have
