————— REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN. DAY SERMON, subject: “Come.” Texts: “Come.” Gen. vi, 18, “Come Rev. xxii. 17 Imperial, tender and all persuasive is this word “Come.” Six hundred and seventy- eight times it js found in the Seriptures, it stands at the front gate of the Bible asin my first text, inviting satediluvians into Noah's ark, and it stands at the other gate of the Bible as in my second text, inviting postidiluvians into the ark of a Saviour's mercy. “Come” is only a word of four letters, but it is the queen of words and pearly the entire nation of English voeabu lary bows to its scepter, tis an ocean into which empty ten thousand rivers of meaning Other words drive, but this beckons All moods of feeling hath that word “Come.” Sometimes it weeps and sometime it laughs, Sometimes It prays, sometimes it tempts and somotimes it destroys. It from the door of church and from the serayg Hos of sin, from the gates of heaven and the gates of hell. It is confluent and accrescent of all power past and the aliwoner of most of the future, “Come!™ You may pronounces it so that all the heavens will be heard in its cadences, or pronounce it so that all the woes of time and starnity shall reverberate in its one syllable It is the mightiest of all solicitants either for good or bad To-day I weigh anchor and baul in the planks, and set sail on the great word, al though 1 am sure I will not be able to reach the further shore. Iwill let down the fath oming line into the sea and try to measure its depths, and though I tie together all the gables and cordage | have on board, I will uot beable to touch bottom. All the power of the Christian relizion is in that word “Come.” The dictatorial and commandatory in religion is of no avail. The imperative mood 1s not the appropriate mood when we would have people savingly impressed. They may be coaxed, but they cannot be driven Our hearts are like our homes; at a friend ly knock the door will be opened, but an at tempt to force open our door would land the assailant in prison. Our theological semin which keep young men three years in their curriculum before launching them int the ministry, will do well if in so short a time they can teach the candidates for the holy office how to say with right emp and intonation “Come!™ That man v in Christian work, and t sacha PV wear to pe SUAS wrong and begin the right, went Series 1 | | Pye and th s fore they « every time they t You must remember our | NY nas a conqu efore it ha | give me the accurate census, the statis of how ny are down in fraud, in dra aess, in ymbling, an impurity, win Yioe any sort, and | give vou the ac census or statistics of how many have bees slain by the word ““Come.’ “Come at click wine glasses with me at this ivory bar “Come and see what we can win 4t this gam ing table.” “Come, enter with me doubtful speculation.” “Come with me and read those infidel tracts on Christiani “Come with me to a place of bad amuse ment “Come with me in a gay Ix through wand New York IT in this city there arc twenty thousand who are dow: in moral character, then twenty fell under the power of the word “Cone I was reading of a wife whose husband b beens overthrown by strong drink, and wens to the saloon where he was ruined, and sho said vive me back may husband.” And the bartender, pointing to a maudlin and ba wl mean drowsing in the raer of Loe barroom 1: “There he is. ‘Jim, wake up here's ¥ me for you And the woman ssid: “Do you call that my husband?

Are you all right with God? “No” you say, “I think not; | am sometimes alarmed when | think of Him; | fear I will not be ready & mest Him in the last day: my heart is not right with God." Come then and bave it made right. Through the Christ who die to save What is the use Wu waiting’ The longer you wait the furth off you are, and the deeper you are dow: Strike out for heaven! You remember t a few years ago a steamer called the Prince Alice, with a crowd of excursionists aboa sank in the Thames, and theres was an aw sacrifios of life. A boatman from the sh put out for the rescue and he had a big bos and be got it so full t would not hold a other person, and as he laid hold of the on to pull for the shore, leaving hundreds hel; less and drowning, he eried out, “Oh, that had bigger boat™ Thank God, I am » thus limited, and that | can promise ro for all in this Gospel boat, Get in; get | And yet there is room. Room in the hear of apardoning God. Room in heaven I also apply the word of my text to those who would like practical comfort. If any ever escape the struggle of life, I have not found them. They are not certainly amor the prosperous classes. In most cases it was & struggle all the way up till they reached the prosperity, and since they have reached theses heights there have been perplexitios angieties and eories which were almost enough to shatter the nerves and torn the brain. It would be hard to tell which have the biggest fight in the world-~the prosper Siew or the adversities, the conspienition or the obscurities, Just as soon as you have enough fuccoms to attract the attention of others t mvies wind jealousies are let loose from thelr kennol, The greatest crime that you can commit in the estimation of others is to got on better than they do, They think your addition is their subteaction persons start for & certain goal of success; one reaches it and the other four hundred at ninety-nine are mad. It would take volumes to hold the story of the wrongs, out rages and defamations that have come upon You as nrmult of your succes, Thy warm un of prosperity brings into life a swamp (ull of annoying insects On the other hand the unfortunate classes To sO much you, oome! ie sEest Ea I i 1 1 i P Figots { them the | { of givin | many. ! been consoled by religion in that trial are tiv sounds | It is tho heiress o. most of the | this 1 | ap?

Bo we say “Come The well is not dry. The buckets are not ampty. The supply is not exhausted. There is just as much mercy and condolence and soothing power in God as befors the first grave was dug, or the first tear started, or the first heart broken, or the first ident happened, or the first fortune vanished Those of us who have felt the consolatory power of religion have a right to speak out of our own experiences, and say ‘Come!
