DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. non-churchgoers. [Preached at the Hampton., Lona Island ) Text: “Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. ’ —John x., Hi. There is no monopoly in religi n. The . of God is not >. lit le properly that we Ear fence off and have all to ou selves It <« not a king’s park, st which we look Ibrojgb a barred gat >way. wishing th it wo mi'ht go in and sej the deer nn.l the statu* «rv and plu k th? flowers ami the fruits in Jbe'roval conservatory. No; it is the Fa ther s orchard and everywhere thereare I ars that we may let down and gates we may 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. Stephai'i Gazette. The best education that man receives in this world is from other men.
