——————— i — REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN» DAY SERMON. Subject: “Holy Compulsion.” TexT: “And compel them to come In.’ Luke xvi., 23. The plainest people in our day have luxu. ries which the kines and queens of olden times never imagined, I walked up and down the stairs of Holyrool palnoe—a pa- lace that was considered one of the wonders of the world—and Isald: “Can it be possi. bie that this is all thers was of this reputed wonderful place?" And this is the case in many other instances, There are fruits in y » n | Westehester County and on Long Island farms far better than the pomegranates and apricots of Bible times, Through all ages there have been scones of festivities, and the wealthy man of my text plans a great entertainment and invites his friends, It one builds a beautiful home, he wants his acquaintances to come and enjoy it. If one buys an exquisite pleture, wants friends to come and appreciate it, and it was a laudable thing when the wealthy man of my text, happy himself, wanted to people happy. And so the invitations out, but something went very much You ean imagine the embarrassment one who has provided a grand feast w finds out that the guests invited intend to comes. There is nothing that so provokes the master of the feast as that, Well, these people invited to this great banquet of the text made most frivolous ex- cuses, The fact was, I supp that some of them were offended that this man had suceceedad so much better in the world t! they had, There are people in all occupa tions and professions who consider fit Wrong to them that anybody else is ade vanced. I suppose these people invited to the feast said among themselves “Wa are not going to administer to that man’ ) ity. Helis proud enough now. Ro, Jesides that we could all give par if we made our money the way that makes his." 80 when the the invitations fusal, One: his in ut with Us ree messengers wont re was a unani id, “Oh, I have bon and look at ft tht a Ho and had 1 Lusiness robabi ive s Ww Another frivol 1s that they want t« uid vited. and when y your arm and find a lame man him in, and when 3 him that there is a p! sion, and when you fir { ragged and wretched that he ha Invited anywhere then by the k derness and the most loving invi one ever had cor Oh, my friends, On my part or om your part to see aflair that religion is a banquet, was set in Palestine a good many years ago, and the disciples gathered around it, and they thought they would have a good time all by themselves, but while they sat by this table the leaves began to grow and spread, and one lea! went to the east and another leaf went to the west until ti : was covered up with them, from the heavenly on the board, and the tru eternity made up the wine of God is ting, bleeding, world a vole Ing: loved ™ friend I eve . the best fr | ever had, was i a table? thers e ¢ they man, here a blind vineyurd wwe he ver su nq uplifted high 1et? tie, hear Heaven's redeeming work Com, and welc sinner Religion is a joyous thing, Ido n 10 hear anybody talk ebout relig though it were a funeral, Ido not body tc whine in the prayer meeting the kingdom of God, I do not wa man to roll up his eyes, giving in that evidence of his sanctity.

My Christian friends, I think some times we have just gone opposite to Christ's comuand, and we have compelled people to stay cat, Sometimes ourslacorated inst rae. tions wave been the hindrance, We gradu. ate ftvm our theological seminaries on stilts, and Rtakes five or six years before wa ean come town and stand right beside the great masses of the people, learning their joys, sorrow, victories, defeats, We gt our heads so brim ful of theologleal wisdomthat we have to stand very straight Jest ther spill over. Now, what do the great masses i yf the people ears about the tech. nloalitié of religion? What do they care about th hypostatic union or the difference between sublapsarian and supralapsarian? What dot hey care for your profound ex- planation, clear as a London fog?
