TAL MAGE’S SERMON. Opening ot a Series on the “Voices of the Gardens and Fields.” Subject* Suggested by the Preacher's Sum. uier Rumblings—The Camphire Plant as Typical of Christ—The Re storative Power of Orace. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage opened a new series of sermons on special topics at “The Hamptons,” N. Y., on a recent Sab bath, the “Voices of the Hardens and Fields” being the theme. His text was: My beloved is unto me as a cluster of cam phire In the vineyards ot Eu gedi —Song of Soiomon, i., 11. “Solomon’s Song” has been considered by many as fit only for moonstruck senti mentalists; written by a voluptuary; the story of a man crazed by.a fair maiden; fit neither for family prayers nor for church. Indeed we must admit that there were years in Solomon’s life when he had several hundred more wives than he was entitled to; but he repented of his sin, and God chose him to write some of the best things about Christ that have ever been written. Besides that, I think the criti cism of modern times upon the immodesty ot the Bible comes with poor grace from a century in which the w ritings of George Sand come to their fortieth edition, and Christians can not get to the prayer meet ing because they have tickets for places of amusement so depraved that they make the “Black Crook” respectable. I think, however, as far as I can see, in my stupid ity, tlial there are things turned out upon the community to-day that bid fair to do more damage than the Song of Solomon. Hear, now, one of his fresh and fair de scriptions of Jesus. If I had twenty years to preach I would like to employ ten of them in bringing out to observation those representations of Christ that have as yet been passed by. I do not know why the pulpit should hover over a few types of Christ when there are so many symbols of Jesus that have never been discoursed upon, Why should we employ our time in examining a few lilies, when the Bible is a great garden filled with fuchsias, and with daffodils, and with amaranths, and with evening primroses for the close of life’s day, and crocuses at the foot of the snow bank of sorrow, and heartsease for the troubled, and passion flo’- planted at the foot of a cross, and mo. i.ng glories spreading out under the splendors of the breaking day? Some years ago I dis coursed to you about “the white hairs of Jesus;” and some of the newspapers sup posed-it was a mere fancy of my own—the poor fools not knowing that in Revela tions, the first, and fourteenth, the Bible speaks of Christ: His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow— symbolizing the eternity of Jesus. Terraced on the side of the mountain were the vineyards of En-gedi. Oh, they were sweet places! From a shelving of fhe mountain, four hundred feet high, watei s came down in beautiful baptism on the faces of the leaves; the grapes intoxi cate with their own wine; pomegranates with juices bursting from the rind; all fruits d-ntl flowers and aromatic woods— among the sweetest of these the camphire plant of the text. Its flowers are in clusters like our lilac—graceful, fragrant, symbolical of Jesus; for My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire from the vineyard of En-gedi. I will carry out the idea of my text, and in the first place show you that this camphire plant of the text was a symbol of Christ, because of its fragrance. If I had a branch of it and should wave it in your midst, it would fill all the house with its redolence. The camphire, as we have it, is offensive to some ! but the camphire plant of the text had a fragrance gracious to all. The vineyards of Eu-gedi bathed in it—the branches, the buds, the blossoms, dripping with sweetness, typical of the sweetness of Christ. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer’s ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. The name of Caesar means power; the Hanie of Herod means cruelty; the name ~of Alexander means conquest; the name of Demosthenes means eloquence; the name of Milton means poetry; the name of Benjamin West means painting; the name of Phidias means sculpture; the name of Beethoven means music; the name of Howard means reform; but the name of Christ means love. It is the sweetest name that ever melted from lip or heart. As you open an old chest that has long been closed, the first thing that strikes you is the perfume of the' herbs that were packed amid the clothing; so there-'are hundreds of hearts here which, if opened, would first offer to you the name of Jesus. Have you not seen Him? Through the dark night of your sin has he not flashed upon your vision? Beautiful when he comes to help, beautiful when he comes to save. A little child was crying very much during' the time of an eclipse. It got so dark at noon, that she was afraid and kept sobbing, and could not be si lenced until after awhile the sun came out again, and she clapped her hands, and said: “O, the sun! the sun!” Some of us have been in the darkness of our sin; eclipse after eclipse has passed over our soul; but after awhile the Sun of Right eousness poured his beams upon our hearts, and we cried: “The sun! the sun!” Beautiful dawn in the straw of the Bethlehem khan! Beautiful in His mother’s shawl, a fugitive to Egypt! Beautiful with lys fe.*t in the Galilean surf! Beautiful with the children hanging about His neck! Beautiful in the home circle of Bethany! Fi.frer than the sons of men ; day-spring from on high; light for those who sit in darkness; rose of Sharon; lily of the val ley —altogether lovely! O! He is such a siu-pai doner, such a trouble-sooth er, such a wouud-biuder, such •« grave breaker, that the faintest pronunciation of His name rouses up all the incense of the garden and all the perfume of the tropics, while the soul, in ecstasy of affection cries out: My beloved is unto me as a cluster of campb're from the vineyards of En-gedl. But how shall l talk of the sweetness of Christ’s pardon to those who have never felt it; of the sweetness of His comfort to those who have refused His promise; of the sweetness of His face to those who have turned their back upon His love? Now, a great many people may think this is merely sickly sentimentalism. Jonathan Edwards was a cool man. He was harsh in some of his opinions, he was never afflicted with any sentimental ardor: a»<J I yet, when the name of Christ was men tioned, it threw him into a tran sport. Paul was a cool logician, with nerves un shaken in the Mediterranean shipwreek, a granitic nature, comfortable with the whole world against him, shaking his fist in the face of the Governments of earth and the forces of darkness; yet the thought of Christ thrilled him, transported him, overwhelmed him. John Knox was un bending in his nature, and hard in some respects. The flash of his indignation made the queen shiver and the duchess quake; yet he sat down as a little child at the feet of Jesus. Solomon was surround ed by all palatial splendor—his ships go ing out from Ezion-geber on voyages of three years, bringing back all the wonders of the world; bis parks afloat with myrrh and frankincense, and a-rustle with trees brought from foreign lands, the traces of his stupendous gardens found by the traveler at this day. Solomon sits down in this place to think of Christ, the alto gether lovely and the altogether fair; and whilst seated, there comes a breath of the spices and aromatic woods, and of the blossoms, in through the palace win dow, and he crys out: My beloved is unto me as a cluster of oampliire from the vineyards of En-gedi. O rich and rare, exquisite and ever-last ing perfume! Let it in every poor man’s window's; plant it on every grave; put its leaves under every dying head; wreath its blossoms for every garland; wave its branches in every home; and .when Ijrni., about to die, ahd my hands lie • cold ,and . stiff and white upon the pillow, let some plain ami humble soul come and put in my dying grasp this living branch w ith clus ters. Of camphire from the vineyards of En-gedl. It is many years now since I found the Lord. I must in your presence tell you how good He has been to my soul. Often since then I have given Him a hard thrust in His sore side; but He has been patient with me by day and by night. It is the grief of my life that I have treated Him so badly ; but He has never let me go. I have seen no wonderful sights, I have heard no wonderful sounds, I have no marvelous experience; it has been a plain story of patience on His part and of unworthiness on my part. Some of my dear friends be fore me have had more rapturous expe riences. Christ to them has been the con queror on the white horse, or the s\m of righteousness setting everything ablaze with light, or the bridegroom coming with lantern and torches. To me it has been a very quiet and undemonstrative expe rience. It has been something very sw-eet but very still. How shall I describe it? I have it now: My beloved is unto me like a cluster of camphire from tlie vineyards of En-gedi. But I remark further: This camphire plant, of the text was a symbol of Christ in the fact that it gives coloring. From the Mediterranean to the Ganges the people of the East gathered it, dried the leaves, pulverized them, and then used them as a dye for beautifying garments and their own persons. It was that fact that gave the camphire plant of the text ils com mercial value in the time of King Solo mon; a type of my Lord Jesus, who beau tifies, and adorns, and colors everything he touches. I have no faith in that man’s conversion whose religion does his entire life. It was intended so to do. If a uian has the grace of God in his heart it ought to show itself in the life. There ought to be this “cluster of cam; hire” in Hi, ledger, in the roll of Government securities, in the medical prescription, in the law book. A religion is of uo value to a merchant un less it keeps him from putting false labels on his goods; or to tho plasterer, unless it keeps him from putting up a ceiling which he knows will crack in six months; or to the driver, unless it keeps him from lash ing his horses to eight miles an hour when the thermometer is at nin -1:y degrees; or to the farmer, unless it keeps him from putting the only sound pippins on the top of the barrel; or to the shoemaker, unless it keeps him from substituting brown joa per for good leather in Hie. sales. Tif other words, the religion of Christ is good for every thing or it is good for nothing. The grace of God never a '.ects us by piece meal. < If the heart is changed the head is changed, and the liver is changed, and the spleen is changed, and the hands are changed,and the feet are changed, and the store is changed, and the house is changed, and every thing over which the man has any influence comes to a complete and radical change. The religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a pot of hya cinth to be set in a parlor fiav-window for passers-by to look at, and to be exam ined only by ourselves when we have com pany; but it is to be a perfume filling all the r<)i>m of the beast as “a cluster of camphire from the vineyards of En-gedi.” The trouble is men do not take their re ligion with them. The merchant leaves it outside the counter lest it disturb the g00d5.,,. The housekeeper will not let her religion trail its robes in the kitchen on washing-day. The philosopher will not let his-religion come in amid the batteries lest it get a galvanic shpek. But, 1 tell you, unless your religion goes witha ou every where, it goes nowhere. Thskreligion was intended to color all the the life. But, mark you, it was a. bright color. For the most part it was an orange dye made of this cftmphire-plant, one of the most brilliant of all the colors: and so the religion of Jesus Christ casts no blackness or gloom upon the soul. It brightens up life; It brightens up everything. There is no more religion in a funeial than there is in a wedding; no more religion in tears than in smiles. David was no better when he said he cried out out of the depths of hell, than, he was when he said that his mouth was filled with and his tongue with singing. The best men that I have ever know n have laughed the loudest. Religion was intended to brighten up all our character. Take out the sprig of cypress from your coat and put in “a cluster of camphire from the vineyards of En-ge*di.” Religion’s “ways are ways of pleasant ness and all her paths are peace.” I have found it so. There are hundreds in this house who have found it so. . I remark again that the camphire-plant of the text was a symbol of Jesus Christ, because it is a mighty restorative. You know that there is nothing that starts respiration so soon in one who has fainted as camphor, as we have it. Put upon a sponge or handkerchief, the effects are almost immediate. Weil, this camphire plant of the text, though somewhat differ ent from that which we have l , vas ,a pungent aromatic, and in that respect it becomes a type of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the mightiest of ail restoratives. I have carried this camplC-e-plant into the sick room after the doctors had held their consultation and said there was no hop 4 and nothing more could be done and the soul brightened up undei the spiritual restorative. There is no fever, no marasmus, no neuralgia, no con sumption, no disease of the body that the grace of God will not help. I wish over every bed of pain and through every) hospital of distress we might swing this “cluster of camphire from the vineyard! of En-gedi.” Christ’s hand is the softest pillow, Christ’s pardon is the strongest stimulus, Christ’s comfort is the mightiesl anodyne, Christ’s salvation is the grand est restorative. It makes a man mightiei than his physical distress. Art thou weary? Art tliou languid? Art thou sore distressed? “Come to me,” saltli one—“and coming, be at rest.” If I ask him to receive me, will lie say me nay? Not till earth and not till heaven pass away. Finding, tollowing, keeping, struggling, is He sure to bless? Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, answer— “ Yes!” Nero tarred and put pitch upon the Christians of his day, and then set them on fire, that they might illuminate th« night roundabout the palace; but while they were burning and the crowd beneath were jeering, louder than all the noise went up the song of praise and triumph from the dying martyrs. John Bradford came out in the presence of the instrument of torture that was to'put him to death a'nd said: “t am a Christian now. I have never been before.” And so, again and again, the Lion of Judah’s tribe has tom to pieces the wild beasts of martyrdom. This grace is also a restorative for the backslider. Who do you mean by that? you sav. 1 mean you who used to fre quent the house of God, but seldom go there now; you who once used to pray, but never pray now; you who once sat at the holy communion, but take not the Lord’s cup now; I mean you who ouce re joiced in Christian society, hut now' sit amid scoffers. Backslider! Oh, what a suggestive word ! Backslider! From what have you slid back? You have slid back from your father’s faith, from your eariy good habits. You have been sliding back from Christ, from the cross—sliding hack from Heaven. When a man begins to slide he knows not where he will go. You have been sliding back toward darkness. You have been sliding back toward an un blessed grave, towarcl a precipice, the first 10,000,000 miles of which downward are only a small part of the eternal plunge. You were, perhaps, professors in the country; you have made shipwreck in the town. It may be that the club blasted you; it may be that fashionable society destroyed you; it may be the kind of wife whom you married. You have no more hope for heaven now than if you had lived in Central Asia and never heard of Christ and the judgment. Oil, where is that Bible you use to read? Where is that room where you used to pray? What have you done with that Jesus whose voice you once heard? Oh, mur dered hours! Oh, massacred privileges! Oh, dead opportunities! Wake up now and shriek in that man’s ear until he shall rouse him elf from the horrible somnam bulism, walking, as he does, fast asleep, within an inch of hell. Oh, that he might cry out now: “Gfilden Sabbaths, come back!. Communion seasons, come back! Wooings of the Holy Ghost, come back!” But they will not come. G6ne! gone! gonej Sorrow will come, but not they. Oh, that you might save the few remain ing years of your life and consecrate them to Christ! I have seen sad sights, I have heard sad sounds; but, I tell you, the ghastliest thing outside the gates of the dumned is a backslider’^leath-bed. Do you not feel to your soul thugSdivine prerogative? Do you not feel like cryiug out with David: “Re store unto me the joys of Thy salvation?” For great sin, great pardon. For deep wounds, omnipotent surgery. For dea% ears, a divine aurist. For blind eyes, a heavenly oculist. For the dead in sin, the upheaval of a great resurrection. But in the heavenly world we shall feel the chief restorative power of r This is a planet of weeping we are living on. We enter upon life with a cry a.. 1J leave it with a long sigh. If I could gaih-I er up the griefs of this audience and put*' them in one sentence, and then utter it, it would make every thing between here and the throne of God shudder and howl. The earth is gashed deep with graves. As at the close of the war, sometimes we saw a regiment of one hundred and fifty men, the fragment of the thousand men that went out; so, es I stand before you I can not but realize the ' fact that you are the fragments represent ing hundreds of regiments of joyful asso ciations that have been broken up forever. O, this is a world of sorrow! But, blessed be God, there will be no sorrow in Heaven ! , The undertaker will have to have some other business there. In the summer time our cities have bills of mortality which are frightful—sometimes in New York a thou sand ffejiths in'a week, sometimes it has' ,-been two tbonsaud in London; but in that great heavenly city there will be not a single case of sick ness or death; not one black dress ot mourning, but* plenty of white robes of joy; hand-shaking of welcome, but none of separation. Why, if one trouble should attempt to enter Heaven, the shining po lice of the city would put it under ever lasting arrest. If all the sorrows of life, mailed and sworded under Apollyon, should attempt to force that gate, one company from the tower would strike them back howling to the pit Room in Heaven for all the raptures that ever knocked at the gate, but no room for the smallest annoyance, though slight as a summer in sect. Doxology, but no dirge; banquet ing, but no “funeral baked meats.” Nodarkness at all; no grief at all; no. sickness at all; no death at all. A soul waking up in that place will say: “Can it be that I am here? Will my head nsv;-r ache again? Shall I never stumble over a grave again? Will I never say good-by to loved ones again? Can it be possible that the stream is past; that the bank is gained; that the glory is begun? Show me Jesus that I may kiss his feet.” When the clock of Christian suffering has run down, it will never be wound up again. Amid the vineyards of the heavenly En gedi; tfiat will be restoration without any relapse; that will be day without any suc ceeding night; that will be “the saint’s everlasting rest.” ■ —A youug salesman in New York City within & few weeks has received a very large order in his line from a manufacturer on whom he called forty one times, and was repulsed on every occasion but the last.— N. Y. Tribune. A BRIGHT DOG. Knowledge Imparted and Reason Develop ed in a Hungry Poodle. “1 was in the habit of giving bones to my poodle Mouston during dinnor. ' and he would go into the yard to gnaw them. When the bone was too large j for him, I would get up, and go out , with him and split it before Ids eyes with a hatchet. One day, Mouston, after j having gone out with his bone as usual, | came back bringing it in his mouth, liked himself in front of me and wag ged his tail. 1 ordered him back, but he persisted in staying where he was. Finally, 1 thought of what he wanted and arose, while the animal indulged in leaps of satisfaction. The trouble was that the bone was too large for him. Now, when I call to mind the expres sion of the dog when he showed rae the bone without getting an answer from me, I could not help thinking that he must at that moment have had a very poor opinion of my understanding.” It is evident from this incident that Mouston knew explicity that the bone would be easier to manage if it was split, and that I alone had means of splitting it; and he had a clear and precise idea in anticipation of what he expected from me.' Finally, he manifested his desire to me by the only means within his power. How much better could a deaf mute do than he did? But it is one thing to think by re semblances and another thing to think by symbols. A story was recently pub lished by M. Dubuc of a pointer which had learned after a few years that its master went hunting every Sunday, while on the other days he went to bus iness, and M. Dubuc concluded that the animal had learned to count up to seven. This conclusion is not legitimate; it may even be said to be wrong. The dog distinguished Sunday by some features that were peculiar to it; by the movements about the house, the be havior and Sunday dress of the servants, the dress of the master, or any one ol more of a number of things that make Sunday different from the other days of the week; but we may say without con tradiction that it did not count seven. We ourselves, if we were restricted to a life absolutely uniform, would not be able to distinguish the seventh day with out mnemotechnic aids, and as a rule we seldom recollect the day or the date except by the assistance of intrinsic cir cumstances. —Popular Science Monthly. THE GERMAN VIRGIL. The Small Share of Earthly Comfort Possessed by the Poet Schiller. Fredei'ick Schiller did, indeed, reap hardly any thing but the toils of a field that has since borne such abundant fruit. The ten-thousandth part of the wealth the publishers and stage mana gers have coined from his works would have smoothed his path through life, but fate denied him that mite. Of al] the famous men of the last twenty cen turies he was rewarded by the greatest abundance of posthumous fame and the smallest share of contemporary compen sation. Like the author of “Hudibras,” he asked for bread and they gave him a stone, or rather more than one stone oi unquestionable artistic merit, for he has statues and busts in every large city of his poetry-loving fatherland. But that same fatherland let him drudge in the schoolmaster’s harness of a small university town; they let him hitch his Pegasus to a mule-cart, aud saw bin. perish jn a Slough of Despond, quite content that his despair should venl itself in Virgilian lyrics rather' than Juvenalic satires. When he died, aetat forty-six, Goethe, for one, could not resist the* temptation to give the Ger man Princes a bit of his mind, and his letter to the King of Bavaria made a profound impression, with the usual re sult of commencement exercise speeches and monument committee harangues.— Chicago Times. —Keep the mouth closed and breathe through the nose, especially in cold weather. There are two good reasons for this. Air drawn through the nasal passages is slightly warmed on its way: if breathed more directly through the mouth it reaches the lungs too cold. It is also said, and it looks reasonable, that the fine hairs lining the nostrils keep out dust and disease germs which would find free passage to the throat and luags if one breathed through the mouth. Children should be taught correct habita of breathing from the beginning.— N. Y Tribune THE MARKETS. 4 Cincinnati, Jjily 7.
