You have seen him with a harp playing the devil out of Saul; with a sling smashing the skull of Goliath; with a sword backing to pieces the Philistines; with a sceptre, ruling a vast realm; with a psalm gathering all nations into doxology; but in my text you have David playing the fool, He has been annointed king, yet he is in exile and passing incognits among the Gathites. They begin to suspect who he is and say: “I wonder if this is not tho warrior King David? It looks like him. Is not this tue man about whom they used to make poetry and about whom they composed a dance, so that the maidens of the land, reeling? now on one foot and now on the other, used to sing: «8iCUl has slain his thousands, but David has slain bis tens of thousands.' " Yes, it is very much like David. It must be David. It is David. David to escape their hands pretends to be de mented. He said within himself: “If I act craxily then of course these people will not in jure me. Np one would be *0 much of a cow ard os to assault a madman." So, one day, while these Gathites are watching David with increased suspicion, they see him standing by the door and running his hands meaninglcssly up and down the panels—scrabbling on tbe door as though he would claim up, hts mouth wide open, drolling like an infant. 1 suppose the boys of tbe streets threw missiles at him, but the sober people of the town said: “This is not lair. Do you not seo that he has lost his reason? Do not touch this madman. Hands off! Hands off! “So David escaped; but what nn exhibition he made of himself before all the ages! Thero was a majesty in King Lear’s madness after Jlegan and Goncril, his daugh ters, had persuaded him to banish their sister question answer. O you cavailing men 1 O you pro found men! 0 you learned men 1 Do please admit something. You have a soul? Yes. Will it live forever? Yes. Whore? You sny that Jesus Christ is not a divine Savior. Who fs He? Where will you go after you leave your law books and your medical prescriptions and your clubroom and your newspaper office —where will you goto? Your body will bo six feet under ground. Where will your soul be? The black coat will be off, the shroud ou. Those spectacles will bo removed from your vision, for tHe sod Will press vour eyelids.

Tho craziness of Meg Mcrrilies was weird and im- posing and tho most telling passage in Walter Scott's Guy Mannaring. There was a fascina tion about the insanity of Alexander Cruden who made the best concordance of tbe Bible that the world ever saw—made it between the madhouse.'Ssometime ago while I was visiting the insane asylum on Blackwell's island, demented woman came up to me and said most tragic style: “God moves In a mysterious way, HI* wonders to perforin: He plant* His footsteps In the sea, And rides upon the storm." But there was nothing grand, nothing weird, nothing majestic, nothing sublime about this simulation on the part of David instead of trusting in the Lord ns he had on other occasions, ho gathers before him a vast audiuuce of all generations that were to conic, and standing on that conspicuous stage of history in the presence of all the ages ho im personates the slavering idiot; “and he changed his behavior before them and feigned himself mad in their bands and scrabblod at the door of tbe gate and let his spittle fall upon his beard." Taking tho behavior of David as a sugges tion, I wish to tell how many of the bravo and tho wise and the regal sometimes play the fool. And in tbe first place I remark that those men as badly play the fool as this men of the text, who in any crisis of life take their case out of the hand of God. David in this cose acted as though thero were no God to lift, him out of the predicament. What a contrast between his benavior when this brave little man stood up in front of the giant, ten feet in height, and looking him into his face said “Thou corncst to mo with a sword. and with t spear and with a shield j but I come to thee in tno name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver tho into my hands and I will smite thoo nml take thine head from thee, and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of tho air, and to tho wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel—between that time and this time, when he debased himself and bedrnggod his man hood and affected insanity in order that he might escape from tho grip of tho Gathites. In 'the ono case he play ed the hero. In the other case h< he played the fool. So does every man who, in tno great crises of life takes his case out of the hand of God. Tho life of tbo most inaignifi cant man is too vast for any human manage ment. Once, returning from tho west, I very easily got on the locomotive while passing over the plains and talked with the engineer; but coming on toward the Alleghany mountains I thought I would like to sit on the locomotive as it i-ome down from the mountains amidst that most wonderful scenery on this continent. I , asked the engineer if I might ride, but ho courteously denied me, for there tho grade is so steep and so winding and so perilous that ho must not have any, one on the locomotive who may divert his attention when eye and hand and foot and brain must be concentrated,ready lor the most sudden emergency. Weil, life is so steep and so perilous and ao exposed to Mid den surprises tbatnone but the Lord Almighty can guide and engineer it, and «>»r * come from tbe fact that wc wm,» «•» g* . help the Lord to inauage the train. Keep off the engine! Be willing to let God pull you *!•,•; wants to pull you. You have no right J instant to surrender your sanity and manhood as David surrendered his. Put your trust in God and lie will take you through and over the mountains. I very much suspect that all the successful enterprises that were ever car ried ou, and all the successful lives that have ever been lived, have been fully surrendered to Ged. When the girl Victoria waa awaken ed In the night and .told that the throne of Great Britain waa hers, she said to the prelate informing her, “I ask your prayers," and then and there they knelt clown and prayed. Do you wonder tnat though since that time all the thrones of Europe have fallen or been fear- fhlly shaken, her's stands as firm as tbe day she ascended it, and in every country under the sun, whereerer an Englishman hears that name pronounced, he feels like waving his hat and crying: “God i»vc the queen !” TS.tni.il, that woman, who put their lru»t in God, will 10 through in triumph, while thrwe who at tempt to gather under their --- «tpw»l*lon the intricate and elaborate affair, of their life, are miserably playing the fool.

Quit the small questions hnd try the great questions. Instead of discussing whether the serpent in Eden was figurative or literal, whether the Mediterrenean fish did or did not swallow the recreant prophet, whether this and that and the other thing is right or wrong, come and discuss one question: “How shall I get rid of my sins and win heaven?". That is the question for you. Yea, there have been men who have act ually lost their souls because they thought there was a discrepancy between Moses and Professor Silliman—because they could not understaud how there could bo light before the sun rose—the light appearing in the third verse of Genesis, and tho sun appearing not until the ICth verse—and because they do not know how tho moon could stand still without upsetting thenmiverse, pud because they had decided upon tho theory of natural - eeleetiotu A German philosopher In dying had for his chief sorrow that he had not devoted his whole life to the study of the dative case. Oh when your immortality is in peril, why quib ble? Quit these non-essentials, my dear brother. In the name of God J aait yon in re gard to these matters of tho Immortal soul, that you do not play tho fool; what is that man doing In Bowling Green, Nc'w York? Well, ho is going in for a ticket for a transat lantic voyago. Ho is quarreling with the clerk about the spots, tho red spots on the ticket and he is quarreling about the peculiar signature of the president of the steamship company, and he is quarreling about tho munner of tho clerk who hands him the ticket. How long has he been standing there? Three weeks. Meanwhile perhaps twenty steamers have gone out of port, and I hear the shriek of the steam tug that could tnko him to tho last vessel that could bear him* to his en gagement in London. Still he stands in Bow ling Green discussing tho ticket. What do you sny in regard to that man? You say lie is a fool. Well, in that •very way are many men acting iu regard to tho matters of the seul. They are cuvilling about the atonement, the red spots on tho ticket—about the charac ter of tho minister who hands them tho ticket —about whether it has a divine or human signature, and meanwhile all their opportu nities for heaven are sailing out of the harbor, and I hear the last tap of the bell announcing their last chance for heaven. Go aboard 1 Do not waste any more time in Jugging and carp ing and criticizing and wondering, and in tno presence of an astounded heaven, playing the tool. I go still fiirthcr and say to you that those men play the fool who undertake to pay out eternity for time. How littk* care do we bo- stow upon the railroad depot where we stop twenty minutes to dine. Wo dash ih and wo dash out again. Wc do not examine tho archi tecture of the building nor the face of the ca terer. We supply our hunger, wo pay our dollar and wo put on our hat and take our place in tho train. What Is that depot ns compared with tho place for which wo are bound? Now, my Iriends, this world if only a stopping place on the way to a momentous destination, and vet how many of us sit down as though wo had consummated our journey, as though we had come to the final depot, when our stopping here is as compared with our stopping there, as is twenty minutes to twelve hours—yea, as tho ono-huudredth part of a second, compared with ten thousand mil lion years I Would Spain sell us Cuba for n bushel of wheat? would England sell us India for a ton of coal? Would Venice sell us nil her pictures for an American schoolboy's sketch? All, thut would be u better barguiu for England, Spain and Vonico than that man makes who gives his eternity for time. Yet how many there are who are saying: “Give me the world’s dollars and you may liavo tho eternal rewards. Give mo tno world's applause and you may have tho garlands of God. Give me twenty or forty or sixty years of worldly successes and 1 don't care what becomes of tbo future. I am going into that world uninsured. I take the resjiouiiibility. Don't bother me about your religion. Here I have tbe two worlds before me—this one and the next, 1 have chosen this. Go away from me, God and angels, and all thoughts of the future!" Mon are actually making that choice while there are others who have done far differently. When they tried to bribe with money Martin Luther, some one said: “There’s no use try ing to do that—that Dutch bcostcarcs nothing for gold." When they tried by giviug him u cardinal's hat to bribe Savouarola, he stood up in his pulpit and cried out: “I will have no red hat save that of inartyrdoni, colored with my own b!ood." These men chose Christ amid great persecutions j but how many there are in this day, when Christianity §eem» to be popular, who are ashamed of Christ and not willing to take tho hardships, the seciuing hardships of Ills religion. And alas for ibcrn, for Jong after the crash of this world's demoli tion they shall find that in all these years they were turning their backs upon the palaces of heaven, scrabbling on the aoor of this world’s treasure house, the saliva of a terrific lunacy on their lip—horribly and overwhelmingly playing the fool. Once more I say to you that those men play the fool who, while they admit the rightfulne s of religion, set it down for future attendance. Ha vim knne Knar minv times the word “now” Do you know how many times the word “now' occurs in the Bible? Over two hundred times. One of the shortest words in tbe Bible and yet one of the grandest in meaning and ramifica tions. When does the Bible say it is tbe best time to repent? Now. Wheu does the Bible say that God will forgive? Now. When does God say is the only safe time to attend to the matters of the eoul? Now. But that word “now" melts away as easily as a snowtlake. Where is the now of the dead of last year, the now of the dead of last month ? The* now of the dead of last week? The now of tlie dead of yesterday? Time picked it up in its beak and flew away with it. Swammerdam and other naturalist# tell us there are insects wbich within the space of one minute are born, ful fil tbeir mission, celebrate their nuptials and die? but this wonderful now is more short lived than they. It is a flash, a stroke, a f iance. Its cradle is its grave. If men catch t at all, it is with quick clutch. Millions of men have lost their soul immortal because they did not understand the momentum and the ponderosity of that one word. All tbe strategic power* of hell are exerted in trying to subtract firtu tbe energy and emphasis of that ward. They u« it It only • word ol thr«o letter, while there ii B better word of eight letter!—“to-morrow." They my i “Throw away that imall word and take thi. grand one,” and M men »ay,“flire Hi to-mor. row and taka away from at now." And be tween tho« two word. i» the Appien way of death, and a great multitude throng that road, joetling and elbowing each other, battening on .wider and .wider to die.

He said to hia wife, sealed by tho bedside! *‘0h, don’t talk to me .bout pain; it is the mind, woman, it it tho mind. Of all tho veers of my life I never lived one minute for heaven. It is awfully dark here," ho whispered, “it is awfully dark. I seem to stand on the slippery odgo of n great gulf. I shall fall! 1 nm falling! And witli a shriek ns when a man tunibli over a precipice ho expired. Wiso for this world, about all tlie matters of his immortal soul ho was bis life long playing the tool. I will take the ease of some one and ask you what you think about that case. He has been all his life amid Bibles and ehurehes so that lie knows his duty. Christ has offered to do ail for that man that a divine Savior can offer to do for n dying soul. Heaven hud been of fered him, yea, been pushed upon him, ond yet lie has not accepted it, and ne deliberately allows his chances for life to go away from him. What do you sny of that onoT “Hallu oinoted,” says one; “monoiiianiaeal,”saysa!: other. “Playing tho fool, “says another. Oh. how many there are taking just that position. There is such a thing as pyromanln, an insanity which disposes one to destroy buildings by tire; but who would have thought that there was o pyromania of the immortal nature, and that any one could ho to struck through with that insanity aa to liavo a dcsiro and disposition to consume tho soul.
