Their flatteries were like the lick of a lion's tongue. which takes off the flesh that it licks. A great English actor stood on the stage and thunders of applause from the galleries greeted his impersonations and yet he was utterly chagrined be- cause one man sat asleep before him- and with indignation he cried out; “ Wake up, sir!" So in your life there has been some little annoyance that has more than overpowered. all your brilliant congratulations. You ,went away from God and peace with the idea of finding better pasturage, and your adventure has been afail- ure. You found yourself browsing amid sharp and stinging misfortune. Oh. the world is a good rack from which a horse may pick his forage; and it is a good trough from which the swine may crunch their mess; but it affords no satisfactory food for a soul blood- bought and immortal. I have noticed, also, that the sheep get astray by being frightened with the dogs. The hound gets in the field. Ethe poor things are frenzied. Thuv forget their path and dart away. and are torn of the hedges and plashed of the» ditch. They do not get home that night. They never get lit-me unlessthe farmer goes after them and brings them back. Oh. man, that is THE W-AY YOU GOT AS’I‘RAY. In 1857, or in the fall of 1873, you be- came almost an atheist. You said: "“‘here is God. that He allows an hon- 'est man to go down. and thieves to prosper 2» And you were dogged for the rent. and dogged by the banks. and you were dogged _by creditors; and some of you went into misanthrophy, and some of you took to strong drink, and some of you fled 'ffom all Chris- tian associations; and in that way the sheep got astray. . I do not. know by Just fevhat process the Bible announcâ€" you got astray: but . _ es it. and your partial CODSCIOusness on the subject. reaffirms it. that you. like sheep. have gone astray; and if you could see yourself txrmght as God sees you your soul would. burst into a tempest of agony, and you would A SHORT COMMONS and you wanted to find the rank grass on the bank of distant Streams, and to lie down under great oaks on the other side of the hills. Have you found the anticipated pasture that was to be so superior? How are you getting on now in the club-house! What did they do for you in the way of comfort when the baby died? Did they make up for the flaxen hair. and the blue eyes and the dimpled cheeks! Were not the plain Christian man, and the plain Christian woman who came in and sat up nights with your darling of more solace than all worldly associations? Did all the convivial songs you ever heard. give you such peace as the song those people sang in your bereaved home? the very words that your litâ€" tle child had learned to sing in the Sabbath-school : “There is a happy land . Fur. far away, Where saints in glory stand l " Bright. bright as day.“ 1 Did you find comfort in your business esswizitions.’ Did the grass grow yet-3w thick around about your insurance of» flee. or your broker’s shop, or your, retail store, or your importing estab-i lishment? God help the man that hasj nothing but business to comfort him!‘ Your business. instead of soothing you‘ exasperated you. and wore you out,. and left you limp as a rag. and made you mad. You got money but you got. no peace; and so far from getting aj fit pasture for a starving nature, you; found none of it in the World; and the; further you went, the more blasted: the heath, and the sharper the rocks,i and the thic.;er the uettles. They in-; suited you vyith__garba-ge when you; on. You tried business successes. you tried worldly associations. you tried the club-house. You said .Lhat the Church was one riScs and looks off and says: "There is a man who is a blasphemez‘. he 13 astray. And yonder is a man who is iméure, and he is astray. And yonder is a man who is fraudulent. and he is astray." sit down. my brother, and look at home. for the first word. of the text take you and me as well as the test: “All we like sheep have gone astray." | \ I have studied ihe habits of sheep, and I know they lose their way sum:- timos by trying to get other pasture. and sunetimea by being scared mm the dogs.
