SUNDAY MORNING.
THANKSGIVING SERMON
DR. CHAPMAN UTTERS A MESSAGE
APPROPRIATE TO THE DAY.
A Timely Discourse Kntltlert “Three Meet.
Ills'* of the Saviour”—Render Thanks
> God Tor the Greatest of Gifts. His
Soil, Jesus Christ.
New Youk City. —The Rev. Dr. J. Wil
bur Chapman, who has recently resigned
the pastorate of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church in this city in order to devote him
self to evangelistic work, has prepared the
following Thanksgiving sermon for the
press. It is entitled "Three Meetings of
the Saviour,” and ns founded on the text,
“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will
I pray.’* Psalm 55: 17.
It is quite the custom on Thanksgiving
Day to render thanks and praise unto God
for material gifts and material prosperity.
We are accustomed to measure the har
vests and to try to count out earthly bless
ings, and then make an effort to put into
language some adequate expression of our
appreciation of God’s goodness. I leave
tins task to other ministers, while I in
their name and behalf express mv grateful
thanks to God for the greatest o£ all gifts,
namely, His Son, Jesus Christ, and it is
my hope that I may present Him in such
a way in this message that all may see that
it is their privilege to come in closest fel
lowship with Him. With this thought in
mind I use the text, “Evening, and at
morning, and at noon, will I pray.” The
Psalmist determines to pray frequently, at
least three times he will be on his knees:
he determines to pray fervently, for he will
cry aloud unto God. The text docs not
run as we would like it to, for we always
reverse the order and say at morning, at
noon, and at evening, but the Hebrews be
gan the day with tne evening and closed
it with noon. W.e always begin it with the
morning, and one day we shall reach a
morning which shall never end. The
Psalmist means that he will pray more
than three times. He is simply saying that
he will begin and continue and end the
day with God. He takes the natural di
vision of the day and at each Doint he de
termines to set up an altar. Mr. Spurgeon
says he lays a line straight through the day
and tracks the sun with his petitions. It
used < to be said in olden times that we
should pray ihree times at least, at even
ing. because Christ waa on the cross, in
the morning because He rose from the
dead, and at noon because then Ho ascend
ed. If our bodies need nourishing three
times, why not our souls? We have fre
quent Old Testament illustrations of this
habit, notably Daniel. “Now* when Daniel
knew that the writing was signed he went
into his house, gnd, hia windows being
open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he
kneeled upon his knees three times a day
and praved. and gave thanks before his
God a9 he did aforetime.” Daniel 6: 10.
We have the early members of the church
iu the New Xeautyiqnt presenting us an ci
au.ple. Kud if wS sTiidv the Acts of the
Apostles we find the disciples many times
in prayer, but always morning, noon and
night. For Jesus to be with us is one
thing, and we are all the time in His
thought; He has promised never to leave
us and never to forsake us, but for us to
be with Him in our contemplation is quite
another thing, and it is that we may len.rn
this lesson that I speak the words of the
text. The result of this fellowship will be
cause for thanksgiving. These three times
are suggested because the morning is the
time of feasting, the noon is the time of
questioning or resting, while the evening
is the time for the settling of accounts,
and T have changed the order of the text,
for the reason that we are living in the
new dispensation.
' I.
The morning. “But when the morning
was come.” John 21: 4. John’s gospel
might properly have closed with the 20th
chapter. The 31st verse of that chapter is
most significant and gives the object and
aim of the gospel. “But these .are written,
that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God. and that believing
ye might have life through His name.”
But John adds this 21st chapter because
he gives us another beautiful picture of the
Lord, and records the only miracle worked
after the resurrection. May this not be
typical and did we but live in touch with
our Lord might it not be possible in these
days to have filled nets and a multitude
about us of the saved.
The disciples had returned to their
homes in Galilee after the events men
tioned in the previous chapter. They were
probably in the house of Zehedee. * They
were doubtless talking of the past. They
might have called to mind their first meet
ing with the Saviour and dwelt lovingly
on the glory of His life. They might have
spoken m whispers of the disappointment
of His death, and then with shining faces
have recalled the account of His resurrec
tion and His personal appearing to them.
Doubtless Peter was of the company once
again. They are back ainid the familiar
scenes of their old life; the boats are lying
on the beach, the fishermen are mending
their nets and these seven, five of whom
are named and two unnamed, doubtless
stand together. There is a boat pushing
out from the shore, and the women are
wishing their husbands and bovs good
speed, while the men answer with words
of cheer. Fishing is always fascinating,
and so I can imagine Peter with flashing
eye and twitching nerves and. quick beat
ing heart looking about the busy scene un
til he can stand it no longer, and then be
says, “I go a-fishing.” Instantly they are
all ready to go and they push off from the
shore. It is a mast beautiful sea in itself,
and as their oars flashed in the light of
the setting sun as they are away to the
old scenes of other days, the vision is fas
cinating. But it really was a perilous po
sition, for though the sea is always treach
erous, the boat might lfave been old, and
here are these representative leaders of
the cause of Christ. What if they had
been lost in the night? The same question
might be asked concerning Moses when a
child in trie ark. What if one of the waves
of the Nile should submerge the little ark
or the crocodile should crunch it? But such
questions are idle and useless. Moses is
not safer to-day than then, and bo these
early disciples were safe, because their
hope was centred upon One whose eyes
are ever upon His own by night. They
toiled and took nothing. Every old de
vice was used to charm the fish, but every
time the net was drawn up they knew by
the tug of it that they had failed. As the
light is breaking they are about 100 yards
from the shore. They hear a voice saying,
“Lada, have ye any meat?” and they an
swer “No.” “Cast the net on the right
side,” says the stranger, and 153 fisri was
the result of obedience. The disciples
shout, “It is the Lord,” and Peter, jump
ing into the waves swims ashore, and m
obedience to the command of the Master,
“Come and dine.” they ail sit with Him
about the fire and ate. May I suggest sev
eral daily lessons for the morning hour?
First, Jeeos stood upon the shore and
they knew not that it was Jetua. He is al
ways nearer than we think, and He has
been waiting every morning since that day
to begin the dav with Hi 6 * own diseinles.
You must begin everv day with Him.
therefore, if you would have a day of
peace.
“I have a Friend so precious,
So very dear to me.
He loves* me with such tender love,
He loves so faithfully,
I could not live apart from Him,
I love to feel Him nigh;
And so we dwell together,
My Lord and I.”
There is such a thine as being too busy
to see Jesus. “Be stiff, and know that I
am God.” is the message for many of us,
while that line in the 23d Psalm, “He
makes me to lie down in green pastures.
He Jeadetb, me beside the still waters,”
must never be forgotten. We must be
quiet first, active afterward*
Second, lie is the secret of power always. [
Contrast verses 3 and 0. The first one |
says “that night they caught nothing." i
Ihe second one says, “now they were not
able to draw it for the multitude of •
fishes.” They had the same nets and the i
same fishermen and the same sea and the 1
same difficulties to contend with. Jesus
made the difference by adding His own j
power. How many times we have toiled. I
How often we have grown weary. How i
many days we have failed all because the j
effort was in our own strength. Never h< !
gin a day until you strike step with Him ’
and clasp His band in yours; then nothin- i
can overthrow you.
Third, as scon as they were come to
land they saw a fire of coals. This is the
9th verse. There is only one other place
where this expression is used, and that is
in the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of
John, the place of Peter’s denial. The
first thing that Peter saw was doubtless
this fire of coals after his vision of the
Saviour. How the story of his denial
must have flashed across his mind. It is
better for us not to begin a day until we
have asked Christ to 'show us where we
failed yesterday. He will do it. not with n
fire of coals always, but with the touch of
His finger. For a Christian to fail at the
same place two days in succession, is an
awful sin.
Fourth, Just as He made a feast for
those disciples in the early morning so lie
makes a feast for us every morning of our
lives. He spreads the table with His own
purity. How that will help u in the pres
ence of all that is impure. He displays
His own gentleness. How that will
strengthen us in the time when we are lia
blc to be irritable. He sets before us His
own love. How that will enable us to
love the things that we might naturally
hate, and in our presence He makes display
of His own power. How that will encour
age us in the hour of temptation. I like
the close of the 21st chapter of John, the
25th verse. “And there are also many
other things which Jesus did, the winch,
if they should be written every one. I sup
pose that even the world itself could not
contain the books that should he written.
Amen.” Doubtless many miracles were
wrought beside the miracle of the chancing
of water into wine and other parables
sweeter than the Prodigal Son and the
Lost Sheep He spoke and we never heard
of them. There is many a morning when
we shall talk of these things with Him.
If you turn to Genesis, the first chapter,
you will notice that the first six days of
creation have both an evening and a morn
ing. while the seventh day lias a morning
but no evening. It is typical of that day
which shall be ushered in by the resur
rection morning when we shall have eter
nity with Christ and go out from His pres
ence no more forever, and we shall talk
of these things.
11. ‘
Noon. “Jesus, therefore, being wearied
with His journey sat thus on the well, and
it was about the sixth hour.” John 4: 6.
It is high noon. The husbandman rests
from his labors; the cattle seek the
shadow of the rocks; the birds have
stopped their song. Rven Jesus Himself
is weary. He has left Jerusalem because
He has been surrounded by the wrong
kind of a crowd, and under the impulse
of the Spirit He ipust needs go through
Samaria. The disciples are away and He
aits alone upon the well curb. Beyond all
question the story of the giving of Jacob’*
well is in His miud. and as lie look? out
toward Ebal and Gcrizim He has thp vision
of the crowds listening to the blessing and
cursing of the servant of God, when sud; 1
denly as He looks there com os a woman
on the scene bearing upon her head a
water pitcher. The people of the East
know good water, and for this reason she
lias often dipped her water pitcher, not in
tlie^ running streams, but comes to Jacob’s
well, where the water is most, refreshing.
It is not night, as when Nicodemus came,
but the sun has reached the meridian. 1
always have thought that this was a beau
tiful picture of our meeting with the Sa
viour for the purpose of solving our diffi
culties. Who of us has not had them?
From 8 to 12 o’clock in the morning, when
we have have I mot this
temptation anWlnd that, trial, and been
face to face with this problem?”
“A little talk with Jesus, •
How it smooths the rugged road;
How it seems to help me onward.
When I faint beneath my load:
When my heart is crushed with sorrow,
And my eyes with tears are dim.
There is naught, can yield me comfort..
Like a little talk with Him.”
Will you note the following points:
Jesus said, “’Give Me to drink.” He always
speaks first. Genesis 3: 9, “And the Lord
God called upon Adam, and said unto
him. W here art thou?” (fives us a picture
of God. and all through the Old Testa
ment and New His word is sooken first
to the sinner and to the wandering one.
Whatever may he your own desire for
blessing His is urealei* than yours. We
always think of Him giving to us. indeed,
His was a life of giving, but is it not won
derful that we may give to Him? The
woman gave the annointment and Jesus
said, “Wherever the gospel is preached
this shall be told as a memorial.” Paul
writes to Titus, “Adorn the doctrine of
•he gospel to-day.” and he sends his mes
sage to the Corinthians, “We are unto God
a sweet savour of Christ.” by which he
means that we will remind Cod of Christ.
First, never let, a noon pass that you do
not make Him an offer. Best of all, offer
Him yourself.
Second, “If thou knewest the gift of
God thou v'ouldest have asked.” I f is
because we do not know the Saviour that
vc have failed to ask of Him; according to
the measure of our knowledge we will have
asked, and He is pledged to give us living
water in contract to what the world of
fers. Do not let a noon hour pass that
you do not tell Him every annoyance of
the mornine*. Nothing is too trifling for
Him. and He will give to you just, that
b’-essing which will ever stay the weakness
of your life.
“I tell Him all my sorrows,
I tell Him all my joys,
I tell Him all that pleases me,
I tell Him what annoys;
He tells me what I ought to do,
Cir.e what to try;
•walk together,
and I.”
leeo drink of living water
ydlra well of living water
:ies are often due to incon
sistencies. “The path of the just is as a
shining light that shineth more and
more.” This is a picture of the way we
should walk. “He that doeth the will of
God shall know.” This is Christ’s chal
lenge to those who are in difficulty. And
as He sat thus on the well curb He said
to the woman, “Go call thy husband.” as
much as to say “How about your own life,”
and He puts this sharp, cutting question
te her. which opens up the secret of all her
past life and brings her face to lace with
ner sin, for she has no husband. She was
a sinner of the deepest dye. Just remem
ber when you stop at the noon hour to
meet with Jesus that sin must lie uncov
ered. “He that covereth his sin shall not
prosper.” It must be confessed. “Who
soever confesses his sin God will receive
him,” and it must be foraaken, for “who
soever forsaketh his transgression shall
find mercy.” Then there is victory, and
the story of this woman running back to
her city to tel! all the city of the marvel
ous works fjt Jesus will be a picture of
your own life and mine.
111,
Evening. “The® the same day at even
ing—came Jesus and stood in the midst of
them.” John 20: 19. What a wonderful
day that was, for this evening mentioned
is the evening of the day which began
v.ith the resurrection of Jesus. This is
the first meeting of the disciples -after
they had heard the story, and the doc#r
shut for fear of the Jews. It is not neces
sary that I should describe the trfpty
tomb nor the shining face of Mary as she
told of her meeting with Him, nor yet
again to ; peak oi Christ's special meeting
with Deter, to meet him in spite of his de
nial. but only that ye should see this won
derful Saviour like the Jesus of olden
times, and tint only while He oats and
drinks with them, yet He can pass through
the door while the door is yet shut.
Note first, tint it was at the evening.
This is thy time for the squaring oi ac
counts. No man ought to close Tiis eyes
in sleep until he lias gone over every hour
of the day, made note of every inconsist
ency, and presented it all to the great
High Priest, who make iuiemvs
>ion for u. Note second that the door
was shut. Alas, there arc many things
that have closed the door oi : oar hearts,
ud the difference between the heart's
| door and the door of this room G this, that
I•• t sus came into that, room of His own
| will. He wiil not tome into mir lives
: gainst our wills. There are certain things
that .close the door of the heart. First, in
consistency. Lei no man think that he
pan be an inconsistent t hnstian and walk
in fellowship with Christ.
Second, selfish: ess. Lo: r.o one imagine
’hat lie can pm self on the throne J:ml
have'Christ rule in ili.s being.
1 -bird, an imtiirgivqig spirit. “Tender
hearted,'forgiving one another even as God
for Christ’s sake has forgiven you,” .is
the spirit that should control us.* Throw
open the door this evening hour and let
the light of the Son of God come in. and
He will say to you Peace,” and in the
verv saving of it there is rest.
Fourth, He showed them llis hands and
His side. That gives a hint as to His
atonement and what He means, for our
Sa\ iour sav es us not only from the pen
alty of silt but from the power >f sin. from
the penalty when He died up. a the’cross,
irom Ihe pmver as He sits to-day on God’s
right hand with ban and side and outstretch
ing hands. Let the evening hour be the
time when you meet Him. Mr Meyer
gives an illustration of the mother who
goes about the loom at night gathering up
the playthings of her children, putting
away their hooks and clothing and saying,
‘T always straighten up the room at night
after they are asleep, aud this is what
Jesus does for us. He straightens up the
affairs of the day if we will but let Him.
Fifth. “As the Father has sent Me even
so send 1 you.” IMs is what Jesus *:aid
to the disciple*. Me must realize that we
have a divine commission to work, and
we must also realize lhat we have a divine
promise of strength. 1 like the illustration
used by the llev. I. B. Mover of tin. old
artist who toiled away during the day
upon his model ami finished it at night,
as he supposed, but there were the marks
of imperfection, because his hand had lost
its cunning, but when be lias gone from
his work his son. a real artist, takes awnv
the marks of old age and makes the model
as it should he, and the old artist comes
in the morning to look at it and say.
“Why.'l can work as* well as ever 1 did/’
and this is but a picture of what Christ
will do it we will but vjeld ourselves to
H;w,
Sixth. “And He breathed upon them."
He will come as near to us as that, and
as the breath of God made Adam a filing
soul and His breathing upon thp disciples,
sent them forth to conquer, so His breath
ing upon us will change our lives if we
will but breathe in of what He breathes
out, and we shall have power in propor
tion as we do it. For all that will come
to us as the result of a three fold expe
rience 1 am ipo-t devoutly thankful.
Spear Points.
Purpose is whut gives life a meaning.
Circumstances may change, but God
never does.
The breadth of Christianity depends on
its depth.
God puts consolation only where He has

Expect God to help you when you have

True greatness is ability to serve coupled

When the Lord is in our hearts His hand
will be seen in our works.
Never take your eye off the cross, as all

sittincr fiini.
To the best comes the time when their
very good is evil spoken of. U takes good
ness to understand goodness. The pure in
heart see God, and only such can recognize
the life of God when manifested in the
saints. Few trials are more keen than the
misrepresentation of goodness. An evil
motive imputed to a saintly deed is as the
.-ting of a serpent. The cloud* of defama
tion lower at some time over every saintly
heart. The life of the saint is hidden and
cannot be understood by the worldling.
“Sitting still” is the only possibility. Time
exerts a remedial influence, and such rem
edy that it cannot exert the One to whom
the saints are dead will. He will bring out
our goodness as the light and our right
eousness as the noonday.—Episcopal Re
corder.
Work 31 alien Men.
Work it; given to men not only, nor <o
much, perhaps, because the world needs it.
Men make work, but work makes men.
An office is not a place for making money,
it is a place for making men. A workshop
is not a place for making machinery, for
fitting engines and tunning cylinders; it is
a place for making souls; for fitting in the
virtues to one’s life; for turning out hon
est, modest, whole-nature and men. For
Providence cares less for winning causes
than that men, whether losing or winning,
should be great and true; cares nothing
that reforms should drag their cause from
year to year bewildcringlv, but that men
and nations, in carrying them out, should
find there, education, discipline, unselfish
ness and growth in grace. —Henry Drum
mond.
The Way to the Cross.
None of us can tell for what God is edu
cating us. We fret and murmur at the
narrow sound and daily task of ordinary
life, not realizing that it is only thus that
Afc can be prepared for the high and holy
office which awaits us. We must descend
before we can ascend. We must take the
way of tire cross submissively and patient
ly if we would tread the way of light. We
must endure the polishing if we would he
shafts in the quiver of Em manual. God’s
will comes to thee and me in daily circum
stances. in little things usually as in great;
meet them bravely; be at your best al
ways, though the occasion he one of the
very least; dignify the smallest summons
by the greatness of your response.—F. B.

Last Sunday afternoon while on my

river before them, have shot over the
tunnel, dragging a 400-foot vessel with
130.000 bushels of grain or 4000 tons
of coal behind them. To get over the
cofferdam the big ships have been
forced fifteen or eighteen inches out
of water, their keels resting on the dam

11,000 acres, extends from the Dee to
the summit of Loch n a gar. Balmoral
is a compound Gaelic word, signifying
the house by the big cliff or rock.
A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is
unfit to care for children; it ruins a child’s disposition and reacts
upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers
too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female
weakness, and she is entirely unfit, to bear the strain upon her nerves
that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything
calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and
shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system
with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge
of nervous prostration.
When a mother finds that she t' f not be calm and quiet with her
children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can
not do better than to take Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound.
This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and
enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The
children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet,
will themsolves become quiet.
Mrs. May Brown, of Chicago, 111., says:
■ iirtTh “Dear Mrs. Pinkham : ‘Honor to whom
fllfffiivffiTfhfo honor is due.’ and you deserve both the thnnks
and honor of the mothers of America whom you
have so blersedlv helped and benefited. I hare
used Lvdla E. Pinkhnin’s Vegetable Com
pound when 1 would feel run-down, nervous
and irritable, or have any of the aches and pains
jpp F® which hut few women escape, and 1 have found
that it relieved me at oncS and give me new
k tT r strength. Several ladles, members of our Lit
s3 /■>/ erary Union, speak in the highest praise of your
_ -if Vegetable Compound, as they have been cured
wiilPwsie f rora serious female troubles. One lady,
\ who thought she must submit to an opera
flfly m*' it, VmO tion, was cured without using anything in
ihe world but Lydia E.Pinklinm’s Vege-
W table Compound and Sanative Wash.
y — —— You have hosts of friends in Chicago, and
J V: . ■ if you came to visit our city we would delight to a'o
you honor. Gratefully yours,— Mrs. May Brown, 57 Grant Place, Chicago, 111.
How Mrs. Pinkham Helped Mrs. MclCinny.
“ Hear Mrs. Pinkham : I feci it my duty to write and let you know the
good you and’your Vegetable Compound are doing. I had been sick ever since
my first baby was born, aud at the birth of my second, my doctor, as well as
myself thought 1 should never live through it. After that menstruation never
came regular, and when it came I suffered terribly. 1 also had womb and
ovarian trouble. A friend of my husband's advised him to get. Lydiil E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for me. At first I had no faith in it,
but now nothing could induce me to be without it. Menstruation has become
regular, and I fee) like anew woman. Your medicine is a God-send to suffer
ing women. 1 hope this letter will lead others to try Lydia E. Pinkban’s
Vegetable Compound. Yours truly. Mrs. Mildred McKikmy, 28 Pearl
St., Han Francisco, Cal.” (March 10, 1901).

RiMAfS
For twenty years I had been a suf
ferer from bronchial troubles ac
companied with a hacking cough.
1 at times suffered from extreme
nervous prostration. About four
years ago I began taking Ripans
Tabules. and since then I have used
them pretty constantly. I rarely
retire at night without taking my
Tabule, aud I find they keep my di
gestive organs (which naturally are
weak) in good order, and they also
allay any tendency to nervousness
und make me sleep.
