sWIII£ Op<?D-
In mv boyhood,next to the country school
house, there was an orchard of apples.owned
bv a very lame mau, who, although there
were apples in thepla e [mt; etually decaying
bv scores and scores of bushels, never
would allow any of us to touch the fruit. One
j a » in the sinfulness of a nature inherited
from our first parents, who were ruined by
the same temptation,some of us invaded that
orchard, but soon retreated,for the man came
rfter us at a speed reckless of making his
lameness worse, and cried out: ‘ Boys, drop
those apples, or I ll set the dog on you!”
Well, my friends, there are Christian men
who have the church under revere guard.
There is fruit in this orchard for the whole
world, but they have a rough and unsympa
thetic way of accosting outsiders, as though
they hail no business here, though the Lord
wants them all to come and take the largest
and the ripest fruit on the premises. Have
you an idea that because you were baptized
at thirteen months of age, and because you
have all your life been under hallowed influ
ences, that therefore, you have a right to one
whole side of the Lord’s table, spreading
yourself out and taking up the entire room'
I tell you no. You will have to haul in your
elbows, for I shall to-day place on either side
of you those whom you never expected would
sit there; for, as Christ said to the Jews long
ago. so he says to you and me: “Other sheep
J have, which are not of this fold.”
MacDonald, the Scotchman, has four or
five dozeu head of sheep. Some of them are
browsing on the heather, some of them are
lying down under the trees, some of them
are in his yard; they are scattered around
in eight or ten different places. Cameron,
his neighbor, comes over, and says: “I see
you have thirty sheep; 1 have just counted
them." “No,” says MacDonald, “I have a
great many more sheep than that. Some
are here, and some are elsewhere. They are
scattered all around about. I have 4,000 or
5,00? in my flocks. Other sheep I have, which
are uot in this fold.”
So Christ says to us: Here is a knot of
Christians and there is a knot of Christians,
but they make up a small part of the flock.
Here is the Episcopal fold, the Methodist
fold, the Lutheran fold, the Congregational
fold, the Presbyterian fold, the Baptist and
the Pedo-Baptist fold—the only difference
between these last two being the mode of
sjieep-washing; and so they are scattered all
over, and we come with our statistics, and
say there are so many thousand of the Lord s
sheep; but Christ responds: “No, no; you
have not seen more than one out of a thous
and of my flock. They are scattered all over
the earth, and ‘other sheep I have, which
are not of this fold.’ ”
Christ in my text was prophesying the
conversion of the Gentiles with as much con
fidence as though they were already con
verted, and he is to-day, in the words of my
text, prophesying the coming of a great mul
titude of outsiders that you never supposed
would come in, saying to you and saying to
me: “Other sheep I have, which are not of
this fold.”
1. In the first place, I remark that the
Heavenly Shepherd will find many of his
sheep amid the non-churchgoers. There are
congregations where they are all Christians,
and they seem to be completely finished, and
they remind one of the skeleton leaves which,
by chemical preparation, have had all the
greenness and verdure taken off of them,
and are left cold and white and delicate,
nothing wanting but a glass ease to put over
them. The minister of Christ has nothing to
do with such Christians but to come once a
week, and with ostrich feather dust off the
accumulation of the last six days, leaving
them bright and crystalline as before. But
the other kind of a church is an armory with
perpetual sound of drum and fife, gathering
recruits for the Lord of Hosts. We say to
every applimnt: “Do you want to be on
God’s side, the safe side and the happy side !
If so, come to the armory and get equipped.
Here is a bath in which to get cleansed. Here
is a helmet for your brow. Here is a breast
plate for your breast. Here is a sword for
your right arm, and yonder is the battlefield.
Quit yourselves like men.”
There are some hero who say: “I stopped
going to church ten or twenty years ago.”
My brother, is it not strange that you should
be the first man I should talk to to day? I
know all your case; I know it very well.
You have not teen accustomed to come into
a religious assembly, but I have a surprising
annguncement to make to you. You are
going to become one of the Lord’s sheep.
“Oh!” you say: “it is impossible; you don’t
know how far I am from anything of that
kind.” I know all about it I have wan
dered up and down the world and I under
stand your c ase. I have a still more start
ling announcement to make in regard to you.
You are not only going to become one of the
Lord's sheep, but you will become one to
day. You will go from this service to talk
with some one about your souk People of
God, pray for that man. “Other sheep I
have, which are not of this fold.”
When the Atlantic went to pieces on Mars
Rock and the people clambered up on the
beach, why did not that heroic minister of
the gospel, of whom we have all read, sit
down and take care of those men on the
beach, wrapjang them in flannels, kindling
fires for them, seeing that they got plenty of
food? Ah! he knew that there were others
who would do that! He says: “Yon ter are
men and women freezing in the rigging of
that wreck. Boys, launch the boat!” And
now I see the oar blades bend under the
strong pull; but before they reach the rig
ging a woman is frozen and dead. She
was washed off. poor thing! But he says:
“There is a man to save," and he cries out:
“Hold on five minutes longer and I will
save you. Steady! Steady! Give me
your hand. Lea;; into the lifeboat.
Thank God, he is save!.” So there
are those here to day who are safe on the
shore of God's mercy, but I see there are
some who are freezing in the rigging of sin,
and surrounded by perilous storms. Pull
away, my lads! Let us reach them. Alas,
one is washed off and gone! There is ono
more t> Le saved. Let us push out for that
one. “Clutch the rope, Odying man! Clut h
it with a death-grip. St ady, now, on the
slippery places. Steady! There! Saved!
Saved!” Just as I thought. For Christ has
declared that there aie some still in the
breakers who shall come ashore. “Other
sheep I have, which are not of this fold.”
Christ commands his ministers to be fish
ermen, and when I go fishing 1 do not want
to go among other churches, but into the
wide world; not sitting along a small creek
where eight or ten other r»ers?ns are sitting
with hook and line, but, like the fishermen of
Newfoundland, sailing off and dropping net
away outside, forty or fifty miles from
shore. Yes, there are non-churchgoers here
who will come in. Next Sabbath they will
again be in the religious service. They are
this moment being swept into Christian asso
ciations. Their voices will be heard in pub
lic prayer. They will die in peace, the r bid
surrounded by Christian sympathies, and be
carr e -1 out by devout men to be b iried, and
on their graves be chiseled the words:
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of his saints.” And on resume tion
day you will get up with the dear children
you have aiready buried, and with your
Christian parents who have already won the
palm. And all that grand and glorious his
tory begins now. “Other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold.”
2. I remark again: The heavenly shepherd
is going to find a great many of his sheep
among those who are positive rejectors of
Christianity. I do not know how you came
to reject Christianitv. It may have been
through hearing Theodore Parker preach, or
through reading Renan's “Life of Jesus,” or
tnrongn tne inOdel ta'k of some younr man
in v’lir store. It may have been through
the trickery of some profess'd Christian man
who di.ru *ted yon with religion. IJo not
nek von how youbneame so; but you franklv
t II me that vou do relect it. You do not
b-'l'eve that Christ is adivin« lieing.a'though
you aiinit that he was a good man You do
rot bel'eve that the Bible was inspired bv
God. although you think that, there nre some
verv fine things in it Yon believe that the
rcriptural description of EJen was only an
allegory There are fifty things that I believe
that you do not believe.
And vet you are nn accommodating man
Everybody that knows you says that of vou
If I should ask you to do a kinduess for me
or if any one else should ask of vou a kind
ness. you would do it. Now, I have a kind
ness to ask of yon to-day. It is something
that will cost yon nothing and will give me
great delight. I want vou bv experiment to
try the power o' Christ's religion. If I should
come to you and you were very sick, and doc
tors had given you un and said there was no
chance for you. and I should take out a little
bottle and sav: “Here is a medicine that will
cure you: it has cure 1 fifty people and it will
cure you,” you would say : "I have no confi
dence in it” I w mid sav: “Won'tyou take
it to oblige me?’ “Well,” yon would say, “if
it’s anv accommodation to yon Til take it.”
Mv friend,will you be just as accommodating
in matters of religion?
There are some of you who have found
out that this world cannot satisfy your soul.
You are like the man who told me after the
servi e waiover: “I have tried this world
an 1 found it an insufficient portion. Tell
me of something better.” You have come
to that You are sick for the need of divine
medicament. Now, I come and tell you of
a physician who will cure you, who has
cured hundreds and hundreds who were sick
as you are. “Oh,” you say, “I have no con
fidence in him!" But will you try him? Ac
commodate me in this matter; oblige me in
this matter; just try him. I am very cer
tain he will cure you. You reply: “1 have
no special confidence in him; but if you ask
me as a matter of accommodation, introduce
him.” So I introduce him—Christ, the
physician who has cured more blind eyes,
and healed more ghastly wounds, aud bound
up more brokeu hearts, than all the doctors
since the time of JEsculapius.
The Divine Physician is here. Are you
not ready to try him ? Will you not, as a
pure matter of experiment, state your case
before him now? Holding nothing back
from Him. If you cannot pray, if you do
not know bow to pray any other wav. sav:
••on, ijora uesus vnnst, this is a strangi
thing for me to do! I know nothing about
the formula of religion. These Christian
people have been talking so long about what
thou canst do for me, I am ready to do what
ever Thou commandest me to do. lam ready
to take whatever Thou commandest me to
take. If there be any power in religion, as
these people say, let me have the advantage
of it.”
Will you try that experiment? Ido not at
this point of my discourse say that there is
anything in religion; but I simply say try it
-—try it. Do not take my counsel, or the
counsel of any clergyman, if you despise
clergymen. Perhaps we maybe talking pro
fessionally ; perhaps we may be prejudiced
in the matter; perhaps we may be hypocritical
in our utterances; perhajis our advice is not
worth taking. Then take the counsel of some
very respectable layman—as John Milton,
the poet; as William Wilberforce, the states
man: as Isaac Newton, the astronomer; as
Robert Boyle, the philosopher; as Locke, the
metaphysician. They never preached or
pretended to preach; and yet putting down,
one his telescope, and another his parlia
mentary scroll, and another his electrician’s
wire, they all declare the adaptiveness of
Christ’s religion to the wants and troubles
of the world. If you will not take the
recommendation of ministers of the
gospel, then take the recommendation of
Highly respectable laymen. Oh, men, skepti
cal and struck through with unrest, would
you not like to have some of the peace which
broods over our souls to-day? I know all
about your doubts. I have been through
them all. I have gone through all the cur
riculum. I have doubted whether there is a
God, whether Christ is God. I have doubted
whether the Bible was true. I have doubted
the immortality of the soul. I have doubted
my own existence. I have doubted every
thing, and yet, out of that hot desert of
doubt, I have come into the broad, luxuriant,
sunshiny land of gospel hope, and peace, and
comfort: so I have confidence in preaching to
you, and asking you to come in. However
often you may have spoken against the Bible,
or however much you may have caricatured
religion, step ashore from that rocking and
tumultuous sea. If you go away adhering to
your infidelities, you will not sleep one wink
to night. You do not want youi’ children to
come up with your skepticism. You cannot
afford to die in that midnight darkness, can
you! If you do not believe in anything else,
you believe in love—a fath _>r’s love, a moth
er’s love, a wife’s love, a child’s love. Then
let me tell you that God loves you more than
they do. Oh! you must come in. You will
come in. The great heart of Christ aches to
have you come in, and Jesus this very mo
ment—whether you sit or stand—looks into
your eyes and says: “Other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold. ”
3. Again, I remark, that the Heavenly
Shepherd is going to find a great many sheep
among those who have been flung of evil
habit. Itmakes me feel mad to see Christian
people give up a prodigal as lost. There
are those who talk as though the grace
of God were a chain of forty or fifty
links, and after th-y had run out there
was nothing to touch a very bad case. If
they were hunting and got off the tra k of
the deer, they would look longer among the
banks and the bushes for the lost game than
they have le?n looking for that lost soul.
People tell us that if a man has delirium tre
mens twice that he cannot be reclaimed; that
after a woman has fallen from her integrity
she cannot be restored. The Bible has dis
tinctly intimated that the Lord Almighty is
ready to pardon 490 times: that is seventy
times seven. There are men before the throne
of God who have wallowed in every kind
of sin: but, saved by the grace of Jesus, and
washed in his blood, they stand there radi
ant. now. There are those who plunged in
the very lowest he 1 of abomination, who for
the tenth time have been lifted up, and,
finally, by the Grace of God, they stand in
Heaven gloriously rescued by the grace prom
ised to the chief of sinners. I want to tell you
that God loves to take hold of a very bad case.
Wnen the church casts you off, and when the
club room casts you off, and when society
casts you off, and when business associates
cast you off, and when father casts you off,
and when your mother easts you off, and
when everybody casts you off, your first cry
for help will send the eternal God clean down
into the ditch oft! your suffering and shame.
The Good Templars cannot.save you, although
they are a grand institution. The 8 >ns of
Temperance cannot save you, although they
are mighty for good. 8i uing the temperancl
pledge cannot save you, althou h I believe in
it. Nothing but the grace of the eternal God
can save you, aud that will if you will throw
yourself on it. A man sail tome: “Unless
God helps me I cannot be delivered. I have
tried everything, sir; but now I have got into
the habit of prayer, and when I come to a
drinking saloon I pray that God will take me
sa ely past, and I pray un fl lam past. He
does help me.” For e.ery man given to
strong drink there are scores of trap < set,
and no one but the everywhere present God
can see that man thro igh. Oh! they talk
about the catacombs of Naples, and the cata
combs of Rome, and the catacombs of Egypt
—the burial places under the city where the
du t of a great multitude lie—but 1 tell you
New York har its catacombs, Nashville has
its cata-ombs, aid New Orleans its cata
combs, and Boston its cata ombs, and Phila
delphia its catacombs, and ev.-ry town and
• city neighborhood its <a a ombs. They are
th.' underground restau ants, full of dead
men's bones and all un leanness. Young
man, you know it. God help you! There
is no need of going into the art
gallery to see in skill ul sculpture that
wonderful representation of a mau and his
sons wound around with serpents. There
are families represented in thisau lienre that
are wrapped in the marly.dom of fang and
s ale and venom—a living Lao oon of ghast
liness and horror. What are you to do!
Do not put your trust in bromide of potas
uum, or in Jamaica ginger, or anything elee
that apotLOcariee can mix. Put your trust |
only in the eternal God, and he will se > you
through. Borne of you do uot have templa- I
tion every day. It is a periodic te nptation I
that comes every six weeks, or every three
months, when it seems as if the powers of
darkness kindle around a snit your tongue
the tire, of the pit. It is w.li enough at such
a time, as seme of you do to seek me heal
counsel; but your first mid most ini|x>i tunate
cry must be to God. If th? fiends will
dra; you to the slaughter, make them
do it ou your knees. O God! now
tuat the paroxya.n of thirst is coming
again up u that man, 1 e!p him. Fling Lack
into the pit of hell tne tieu 1 that assaults his
soul this moment. OU! my heart aches to
see men go ou iu this fearful struggle with
out ‘ There are here those whoso hands I
so trouini. trout di si; atiou that they can
hardly hold a book; aud yet 1 h ive to tell
you Hint they will yet prea h the gospel, and
on communion days carry arounu the conso
ci ate 1 bread, acceptable to everybody, be
cause of their holy lite an I their consecrated
behavior. The Lord is going to save you.
Your home has got to lie rebuilt. Your phys
ical health has got to be restored. Your
worldly business has got to lie reconstructed.
The church of God is going to rejoice over
your discipleship. “Uther sheep 1 have which
are not of this fold.”
U bile I have hope for all prodigals, there
are some people for whom 1 am not so hope
ful. I mean those who have been church
goers all their lives, who have maintained out
ward morality, but who, notwithstanding
twenty, thirty, forty years of Christian ad- .
vantage-, has e never yielded their hearts to
Christ. They are gospel hardened. A ser
mon has no more effect upon them than the
shining of the moon ou the eity (lavement. |
As Christ says: “Thepublicans and harlots
will go into the kingdom of God before
them. They have resisted all the importu
nities of divine mercy, and have gone, dur
ing these thirty years, through mo>t power
ful earthquakes of religious leelin;*, aud
they are farther away from God than
ever. After a while they will lie
down sick, and some day it ’ will be told
they are dead. No hope! But I turn to out
siders w ith a ho;x> that thrills through my
body and soul, tuner sheep 1 have, which are
not of this fold.” You are not gospel hard
ened. You have not heard many sermons
during the last few years. As you came
iuto a religious meeting to-day everything
was novel, aud all the services are suggestive
of your early days How sweet the opening
hymn sounded in your ears, aud how blessed
it is iu this place! Everything suggestive
of Heaven. You do not weep, but the shower
Is not far off. Y'ou sigh, and you have no
ticed that there is always a sigh in the wind
before the rain falls. There are those here
wl'.o would give anything if they could find
relief iu tears. They say: “Oh, my wasted
life! Oh, the bitter past! Oh, the graves
over which I havestumLlllJ! rr hither shall
I hyt Alas for the future I Everything is
dark—so dark, so dark! God help me! God
pity’ me 1 ” Thank the Lord for that last ut
terance. Y'ou have begun to pray, and when
a man begins to petition, thatsetsall heaven
flying his way, and God steps in and beats
back the hounds of temptation into the ken
nel. and around about the poor wounded soul
puts the covert of his pardoning mercy.
Hark! I bear something fall. What was
that! It is the bars of the fence around the
sheepfold. The shepherd lets them down,
and the hunted sheep of the mountain bound
in; some of them, their fleece torn with the
brambles; some of them, their feet lame with
the dogs; but bounding in. Thank God!
“Other sheep I have which are not of this
fold.”
A Good Terrapin Story.
A man here started a terrapin farm I
down the bay and raised a great many
thousands, says a Baltimore correspond
ent of the New York Timex. One season
they were very scarce and commanded
tremendous pric s, so ho sent down
an iron steamer to be loaded. She
came back with 10,000 terrapin, but |
when the process of removal was
attempted it was seen that they |
had had a grand ro igh and tumble !
fight and were locked, head and tail, in |
one solid mass. They tried crowbars and
failed, j’ersuasion was likewise of no
avail, and scientists averred that while
a powerful blast of dynamite might dis
lodge a few, it would not improve their
flavor and advised h:s selling the whole
mass as a job lot and lotting the pur
chaser remove them.
This was an idia and the rich old res
ell advertised his terrapins for a week,
but got no bide he thought of accepting.
Finally a Boston man telegraphed that
lie would take the lot at regular market
rites, provided that the owner would
lend him the iron steamer that held
them. This was gladly assented to, and
all Baltimore crowded to see the fun
when the Toston man would try to get
the terrapin apart.
The old skinflint received his money
and signed the lease of the vessel. The
Boston man had her drawn up on the dry
dock, cargo and all. Then he had a fire ,
engine come down and pump her half full
of water, and added two hogsheads oi
salt. Huge iron cisterns were then tilled
with alcohol, with a bale of cotton in
each, shoved under the keel and lighted.
In vain the miser danced and swore and
begged off his contract —the Boston man
said he had bought the-terrapin and
leased the vessel, all at regular rates,and
couldn’t get them apart, but that he was
not going to let any Baltimore shellfish
get ahead of him, if he had come from
Boston —not a bit of it—he was going to
cook ’em’ just where they were. And
cook them he did. The stew was cann< d
and sent to Boston, where it is used to
this day.
Why Victoria Dislikes Gladstone.
The queen’s dislike of the G. O. M.
dates from 1868, and thereby hang's a
very pretty tale. The bill for the dises- |
tablishment of the Irish church bavin"
passed through parliament only required
the sovereign’s mandate to become law.
It chanced that Mr. Gladstone repaired
to Windsor on the day that the bill was
forwarded for signature, and was admit
ted to audience with the queen. As is
well known her majesty was avarse to
the essential principle of the bill, and i
while willing to concede reform, was
strenuously opposed to the destruction of
the Irish church. She expressed this
much to Mr. Gladstone, jind, as the
premier thought, showed great reluc
tance to affix her signature to the bill.
In his eagerness Mr. Gladstone blurted
out, “But, madam, you must sign.” The
queen flushed, and rejoined with marked
indignation, “Sir, do you know who I
am!” “Yes, madam, the queen of Eng
land. But does your majesty know who
I am? lam the people of England.” It
is needless to say that the queen sum
marily brought the audience to a close,
and in a few curt words dismissed hei
prime minister, and baric him learn better
manners. Since then she has soarcelj
made and pretense of concealing her per
sonal antipathy to the G. O. M. — fit.
