Do not let the church by a spirit of exclusiveness keep the world out. Let down all the bars, swing open all the gates, scatter @ll the invitations. ‘"Whosoever will, let him come." Come, white and black. Come, red men of the forest. Come, Laplander, out of the snow. Come, Paâ€" tagonian, out of the south. Come in furs. Come panting under palm leaves. Come one. Come all. Come now. As at this well of Mesopotamia Jacob and Rachel were betrothed, so this mornâ€" Ing at this well of salvation, Christ, our Shepherd, will meet you coming up with your long Gocks of cares and anxieties, and be will stretch out his hand in pledge of his affection, while all heaven will cry out: ‘"Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Go ye out to meet him." f You notice that this well of Mesoâ€" potamia had a stone on it, which must be removed before the sheep could be watered, and I find on the weil of salâ€" vation toâ€"day impediments and obâ€" stacles which must be removed in orâ€" der that you may obtain the refreshâ€" ment and life of this gospel. In your case the impediment is pride of heart. You cannot bear to come to so demoâ€" oratic a fountain; you do not want to come with so many 0 n»rs. It is as though you were thirs.y and you were invited to slake your thirst at the town If a herd of swine come to a well, they angrily jostle each other for the precedence; if a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back from the water, but when a flock of sheep come, though a hunâ€" dred of them shall be disappointed, they only express it by sad bleatâ€" Ing, they come together peaceably. We want a great multitude to come «wround the gospel well. I know there are those who do not like a crowd; they think a crowd is vulgar. If they are oppressed for room in church, it makes them positively imâ€" patient and belligerent. We have had people permanently leave church because so many other people come to it. Not so did these oriental shepherds. They waited until all the focks were gathered and the more flocks that came the better they liked It,. And so we ought to be anxious that all the people should come. Go out into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. Go to the rich and tell them they are indigent without the gospel of Jesus. (Go to the poor and tell them the affluence there is in Christ. Go to the blind and tell them of the touch that gives eternal illuminaâ€" tion. Go to the lame and tell them of the joy that will make the lame man leap like a hart. Gather all the sheep off all the mountains. None so torn of, the dogs, none so sick, none so worried, none so dying, as to be omitted. Why not gather a great flock? All this city in a flock, all New York in a flock. all London in a flock, all the world in a flock. Now, a great flock of sheep toâ€"day gather around _ this gospel well. There are a great many thirsty souls. I wonder why the flocks of all nations do not gather, why so many stay thirsty, and while I am â€" wondering @bout it my text breaks forth in the explanation, saying, ‘"We cannot unâ€" til all the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well‘s mouth; then we water the sheep." asks them why they postpone the slaking of the thirst of these sheep and why they did not immediately proceed to water them. The shepâ€" herds reply to the effect: ‘"We are all good neighbors, and as a matter of courtesy we wait until all the sheep of the neighborhood come up. Beâ€" sides that, this stone on the well‘s mouth is somewhat heavy, and seyâ€" eral of us take hold of it and push it aside, and then the buckets and the troughs are filled and the sheep are satisfied. We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well‘s mouth: then we water the sheep." Oh, this is a thirsty world! Hot for the head, and blistering for the feet, and parching for the tongue. ‘The world‘s great want is & cool, reâ€" freshing, satisfying draft. We wanâ€" der around, and we find the cistern empty. Long and tedious drought has dried up the world‘s fountain, but centuries ago a Shepherd, with & crook in the shape of a cross and feet cut to the bleeding, explored the desert passages of this world and one day came across a well a thousand feet deep, bubbling and bright and opalescent, and looked zo the north, and the south, and the east, and the west, and cried out with a voice strong and musical, that rang through the ages, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ve to the waters!" C tery to me what he found to cry whout! _ But before that scene occurâ€" red Jacob accosts the shepherds and Washington reportâ€"In this disâ€" course Dr. Talmage represents religâ€" ion as a great refreshment and inâ€" vites all the world to come and reâ€" ceive it. Text, Genesis xxix., 8: "We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well‘s mouth; then we water the sheep." heep $ 33 If I could gather all the griefs of all sorts from these crowded streets and could put them in one scroll, neither man nor angel could endure the reciâ€" tation. Well, what do you want? Would you like to have your property back again? "No," you say as a Christian man: "I was becoming arroâ€" gant, and I think that is why the Lord took it away. I don‘t want to have my property back." Well, would you have your departed friends back again? ‘"No," you say; "I couldn‘t take the reâ€" sponsibility of bringing them from a tearless realm to a realm of tears. I couldn‘t do it." Well, then, what do you want? A thousand voices in the audience cry out: "Comfort. Give us comfort!" For that reason I have rolled a grand city improvement, and you went out on the pleasure excursion, and you ran laughingly up the mound, and you criticised in a ligat way the epiâ€" taph. But since the day when you heard the bell toll at the gate when you went in with the procession it is a sad place, and there is a flood of rushing memories that suffuse the eye and overmaster the heart. Oh, you have had trouble, trouble, trouble! God on!»x knows how much you have had. It is a wonder you have been able to live through it. It is a wonder your nervous system has not been shattered and your brain has not reeled. Trouâ€" ble. trouble! Come also to the gospel well, all ye troubled. I do not suppose you have escaped. Compare your view of this life at fifteen years of age with what your view is of it at 40 or 60 or 70. What a great contrast of opinion! Were you right then or are you right now? Two cups placed in your hands, the one a sweet cup, the other a sour cup. A cup of joy and a cup of grief. Which has been the nearest to being full, and out of which have you the more frequently partaken? What a different place the cemetery is from what it used to be! Once it was to you When an aged clergyman was dying â€"a man very eminent in the churchâ€"a@ young theological student stood by his side, and the aged man looked up and said to him, "Can‘t you give me some comfort in my dying hour?" "No," said the young man; "I can‘t talk to you on this subject. You know ali about it and have known it so long." "Well," said the dying man, "just reâ€" cite to me some promises." The young man thought a moment, and he came to this promise: "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin," and the old man clapped his hands and in his dying moment said, "That‘s just the promise I have been waiting forâ€"‘The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.‘" Oh, the warmth, the grandeur, the magnificence of the promise. There are men who are perfectly disâ€" contented. Unhappy in the past, unâ€" happy toâ€"day, to be unhappy forever unless you come to this gospel well. This satisfies the soul with a high, deep, all absorbing and eternal satisâ€" faction. It comes, and it offers the most unfortunate man so much of this world as is best for him and throws all heaven into the bargain. The wealth of Croesus and of all the Rothschilds is only a poor, miserable shilling comâ€" pared with the eternal fortunes that Christ offers you toâ€"day. In the far east there was a king who used once a year to get on the scales, while on the other side the scales were placed gold and silver and gemsâ€"indeed enâ€" ough were placed there to balance the king. Then, at the close of the weighâ€" ing, all these treasures were thrown among the populace. But Christ toâ€" day steps on one side the ecales, and on the other side are all the treasures of the universe, and he says, "All are yours; all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all eternityâ€"all are yours." We do not appreciate the promises of the gospel. \ Here is another man who is kept back from this water of life by the stone of an obdurate heart, which lies over the mouth of the well. You have no more feeling upon this subject thon if God had yet to do you the first kindâ€" ness or you had to do God the first wrong. Seated on his lap all these years, his everlasting arms sheltering you, where is your gratitude? Where is your morning and evening prayer? Where are your consecrated lives? I say to you as Daniel said to Belshazâ€" zar, ‘"The God in whose hand thy breath is, and all thy way, thou hast not glorified." If you treated everyâ€" body as badly as you have treated God, you would have made 500 apologies; yea your whole life would have been an apology. Three times toâ€"day you have been seated at God‘s table. Spring, summer, autumn and winter he has appropriately appareled you. Your health from Him, your companion from Him, your children from Him, your home from Him, all the bright surroundings of your life from Him. Oh, man, what dost thou with that hard heart? Canst thou not feel one throb of gratitude toward the God that made you, and the Christ who came to redeem you, and the Holy (Ghost who has all these yearse been importuning you? If you could sit down five minâ€" utes under the tree of a Savior‘s marâ€" tydom and feel his lifeblood trickling on your forehead and cheek and hands, methinks you would get some appreâ€" ciation of what you owe to a erucified Jesus. pump instead of sitting in a parlor sipâ€" ping out of a chased chalice which has just been lifted from a silver ealver. You want to get to heaven, but you must be in a special car, with your feet on a Turkish ottoman and a band of music on board the train. You do not want to be in company with rustic Jacob and Rachel and to be drinking out of the fountain where 10,000 sheep have been drinking before you. You will have to remove the obstacle of pride or never find your way to the well. You will have to come as we came, willing to take the water of eternal lifse in any way and at any hand axid in any kind of pitcher, ceryâ€" ing out: "Oh, Lord Jesus, I am dying of thirst! Give me the water of eterâ€" nal life, whether in trough or goblet! Give me the water of life! I care not in what it comes to me." Away with all your hindrances of pride from the well‘s mouth! fAXe k Cape Town, Aug. 23.â€"The Boer priâ€" soners at Simonstown presented to the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York several serviette rings and a sbhieldâ€"shaped brooch, all made from coins of the Transvaal.

But some one in the audience says, ‘"Notwithstanding all you have said this morning, I find no alleviation for my troubles." Well, I am not through yet. I have left the most potent considcration for the last. I am going to soothe you with the thought of heaven. However talkaâ€" tive we may be, there will come & time when the stoutest and most emâ€" phatic interrogation will evoke from us no answer. As soon as we have closed our lips for the final silence no power on earth can break that taciturnity. But where, O Chrisâ€" tian, will be your spirit? In a scene of infinite gladness. The â€" spring morning of heaven waving its blosâ€" soms in the bright air. Victors fresh from battle showing their scars. Conquerors marching from gate to gate. You among them. Oh, what a great flock God will gather around the celestial well. No stone on the well‘s mouth while the Shepherd waâ€" ters the sheep. There Jacob will recâ€" ognise Rachel the shepherdess. _ And standing on one side of the well of eternal rapture your children, and standing on the other side of eternal rapture your Christian ancestry. You will be bounded on all sides by a joy so keen and grand that no other world has ever been permitted to experience it. Out of that one deep well of heaven the Shepherd will dip reunion for the bereaved, wealth for the poor, health for the sick, rest for the weary. And then all the flock of the Lord‘s sheep will lie down in the green pastures, and world withâ€" out end we will praise the Lord that or, this summer Sabbath morning we were permitted to etudy the story of Jacob and Rachel at the well. Royal YÂ¥acht Ophir Sailed From Cape a Town Yesterday. To lean on a prop for 50 years and then have it break under you! There are only two years‘ difference between the death of my father and mother. After my mother‘s decease my father used to go around as if looking for something. He would often go from one room without any seeming reason and go to another room, and then he would take his cane and start out, and someone would say, "Father, where are you going?" and he would answer, ‘"I don‘t know exactly where I am going." Always looking for something. Though he was a tender hearted man I never gaw him cry but once, and that was at the burial of my mother. After 60 years‘ living together it was hard to part. And there are aged people toâ€"day who are feeling just such a pang as that. I want to tell them there is a perfect enchantment in the promises of this gospel, and 1 come to them and offer them my arm, or I take their arm and I bring them to this gospel well. Sit down, father or mother, sit down. See if there is anything at the well for you. Come, David, the psalmist, have you anything encouraging to offer ‘ them? "Yes," says the pealmist; "they shall be fat and flourishing, to show ‘that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousâ€" ness in Him.‘" Come, Isaiah, have you anything to say out of your prophecies for these aged people? ‘"Yes," says Isaiah; "down to old age I am with thee, and to hoary hairs will I carry thee." Well, if the Lord is going to carry you, you ought not to worry much about your ailing eyesight and failing limbs. But you say, "I am so near worn out, and I am of no use to God any more." I think the Lord knows whether you are of any more use or not. If you were of no more use, He would have taken you before this. Do you think God has forgotten you because he has taken care of you for 70 or 80 years? He thinks more of you toâ€"day than He ever did because you think more of Him. May the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Paul the aged be your God forever But I gather all the promises toâ€"day in a group, and I ask the shepherd to drive their flocks of lambs and sheep up to the sparkling supply. ‘"Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth." ‘"Though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion." ‘"‘Many are the affiictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them." ‘‘"Weeping may endure for & night, but joy cometh in the morning." I am determined that no one shall go out of this house uncomforted. â€" Yonâ€" der is a timid and shrinking soul who seems to hide away from the consolations I am uttering as a child with a sore hand hides away from the physician lest he touch the wound too roughly, and the mother has to go and compel the little paâ€" tient to come out and see the physiâ€" clan. So I come to your timid and shrinking soul toâ€"day and compel you to come out in the presence of the Divine Physician. He will not | hurt you. 1e has been healing wounds . for many years, and He will give you ‘ gentle and cmripotent medicament. & great deal among old people, and I knrow h6w they feel about their failâ€" ing health and about their departed friends and about the loneliness that sometimes strikes through their souls. away the stone from the well‘s mouth. Come, all ye wounded of the flock, purâ€" sued of the wolves, come to the founâ€" tain where the Lord‘s sick and bereft ones have come. "Ah," says some one, "you are not old enough to understand my sorrows. You have not been in the world as »ng as I have, and you can‘t talk to me about my misfortunes in the time of old age." Well, I may not have lived as long as you, but I have been oN THE WAY TO CANADA. m One of the first requisites for a person to possess that he may carry out Christ‘s injunction is a consciousâ€" ness of being in the divine order.

When Christ in the sormon on the mount said, "Blessed are the peaceâ€" makers," He expressed a general truth that has been fulfilled through all the history of the human race, as well as to enunciate a principle that henceforth should be a rule of life for all his followers.
