TALMAGE AA An The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun. day Sermon. Subject: “A Bottle of Tears,” ——————— Texr: “Put thou my tears inlo thy boi- tie." Psalms lvl, 8. Hardly a mail has come to me for twenty Years that has not contsined letters saying that my sermons have comforted the writers ofthose letters, J have not this summer nor for twenty years spoken on the platform of any outdoor meeting but com down 1 have been told by hundreds of people the same thing, Bo I think I will keep on trying to be a ‘‘son of consolation.” The prayer of my text was pressed out of David's soul by innumerable calamities, but it is just as appropriate for the distressed of all ages. Within the past century travelers brought up lachrymatories, or lachrymals, which are vials made of earthenware, It tears that they wept over their dead in a bot- tle, and to place that bottle in the graves of the departed, and we have many specimens of the ancient Inohrymatories, or tear bottles, in our musuems, When on the way from the Holy Land our the natives had dug out of the ruins of the old eity. There is nothing more suggestive to me than the tear hotties which ties. That was the kind of bottle that my text tears into thy bottle.” mate acquaintance and perpetual remem. brance of all our griefs, anda vial, or lachry- matory, or bottle, in which He catches snd saves our tears, and I bring to you the con- dolence of this Christian sentiment. Why talk about grief? Alas, the world has its pangs, and now, while I speak, there are thick darknesses of soul that lited, perchance, if no words appropriate to their case be uttered, they perish. [ come on no fool's errand. Put upon your wounds no pressing straight to the mark, [ hail YOU a8 nu vessel midsea cries to a passing craft, which has faith for a rudder, and prayer for sails, and Christ for captain, and heaven for an eternal harbor, Catherine Rheinfeldt, a Prussian, keeps a boat with which she rescues the drowning, When a storm comes on the coast, and other people go to their beds to rest, she puts out in her boat for thy relief of the distressed, and hundreds of the drowning has she brought safely to the beach. In this lifebost of the Gospel I put out to-day, hoping, by God's help, to bring ashore at least one soul that may now be sinking in the biliows of temptation and trouble, The tears that were once caught in the lachrymatories brought up from Herculaneum and Pompei! are all gone, and the bottle is as dry as theseoria of the voleano that submerged them, but not so with the bottle in which God gathers all our tears, First, I remark that God keeps perpetually the tears of repentance.

He grieves, not about his misdoing, but only about its consequences, God makes no rec- ord of such weeping, Of allthe million tears that have gushed as the result of such mis- demeanor, not one ever got into God's bot- tie. They dried on the fevered cheek or were dashed down by the bloated hand or fell into the red wine cup as it came again to the lips, foaming with still worse intoxica- jut when a man fs sorry for his past and tries to do better--when he mourns his wasted advantages and bemoans his rejection of God's mercy, and cries amid the lacerations ¢f an aroused conscience for help out of his terrible predicament, then God listens ; then heaven bows down ; then scepters of pardon are extended trom the throne ; then his ery- ing rends the heart of heavenly compassion ; then his tears are caught in God's bottle, Oh, when | see the heavenly Shepherd bringing a lamb from the wilderness; when I hear the quick tread of the prodigal has- tening home to find hus father ; when [see a neglect and unkindness : whea [ see the wretched, and the vile, and the sin burned, and the passion blasted appesting tor mercy to a compassionate God, 1 exclaim in ecstasy thoroughly sound in body? You have a weak at the fountain. Many of you have kept on 5 life through sheer foroe of will, You think no one can understand your distresses, that you are a hypochondriac, They say you are nervous—as if that were nothing! that is nervous! At times you sit alone in your room. Friends do nit come. You feel an inde. ates, He counts the A nights, He regards the acuteness of the Ha hardness of the bottle aud count out the drops, God counts our falling tears. As you look af the vials filled with nauseous drafts and at the botties of distasteful tonic that stand on the shelf, remember that there is a larger bottle than these, which is filled with no mixture by earthly apothecaries, but it is God's bottle, in which he hath gathered all our tears, Again, God remembers all the sorrows of poverty.

You look into the lnughing eyes, You examine the dimples in the feet. You wonder at its exquisite organ- ism. Beautiful plaything! But on some nightfall as you sit rocking that little one a voloo seems to fall straight from the throne of God, saying: “That child is immortal! The stars shall die, but that is an immortal ! Buns shall grow old with age and perish, but that is an immortal I" Now, I knew with many of you this is the ohief anxiety. You earnestly wish your children to grow up rightly, but you find ft hard work to make them do as you wish, You check their temper. You correct their waywardness ; in the midnight your pillow is wet with weeping, You have wrestled with God in agony for the sal vation of your chil. dren. You ask me if all that anxiety has been ineffectual, I answer, No. God un- derstands your heart. He understands how hard you have tried to make that daughter do right, though she is so very petulant and reckless, and what pains you have bestowed in teaching that son to walk in the path of uprightness, though he has such strong pro- alivities for dissipation, 1 speak a cheering word.

You may cross the seas. but they can outsail the swiftest steamer. You may take saravan and put out across the Arabian des. ert, but they follow you lke a simoom, armed with suffocation. You plunge into the Mammoth cave, but they hang like sta- lactites from the roof of the great cavern. They stand behind with skeleton fagers to push you ahead. They stand bufors you to throw you back. They run upon you like reckiess horsemen. They charge upon you with gleaming spear. They seem to come A careless sportsman, But not so. It is good aim that sends them just right, for God is the archer, This summer many of you will eapocially feel your grief as you go to places where once you were scoompanied by those who are gone now, Your troubles will follow you to the seashore and will keep up with the light ning express in which you speed away, Or, tarrying at home, they will sit beside you by day and whisper over your pillow night after night.
