REV. DR. TALMAGE, SUNDAYS SERMON IN THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF MUSIC, Subject: “A Call to Outsiders.” Text: “Othor sheep I have which are not of this fold." —John x., 16. There is no monopoly in religion. The grace of God is not a fie property that we may fence off and have all to ourselves, It 18 not a king's park at which we may look through the barred gateway, wishing that we might go in and see the deer and the statuary and pluck the flowers and fruits in the royal consarvatory, No, It is Father's orchard, and everywhere there are bars that we may let down and gates that we may swing open. In my boyhood next to the country sehool- house there was an orchard of apples, owned by a very lame man, who, although there were apples in the place perpetually decaying land by scores and scores of bushals, never would allow any of us to touch the fruit. One day, in the sinfulness of a nature inher. ited from our first parents, who were ruined by the same temptation, of us invaded that orchard, but soon retreated, for the man came after us at a speed reckless of making his lameness worse and cried out, “Boys, dr *0 those apples, or I'll sot the dog on vou." Well, my friends, there are Christian men who have the church under severs There is fruit in this | world, but they have a rough and un. sympathetic way of accosting outsiders, ns though they had no business here. tho igh the Lord wants them all to come and ta the largest and ripest fruit on the pre Have you an idea, because you were baptiz at thirteen months of age, and because have all your life been under hallowed fluences, that therefore you hav one whole side of the Lord's table, yo tsals out and taking up the entire re tell you no. You will have to haul in v elbows, for I shall place on either f those whom you the some guard, chard for the wh Ke ni Spread side 1 th h under the 'Y Bre S04 nt places, 1 1 S4yVs in his vaed orten differs Pe de] Pdz rd’'s X 1 one out 1000 \ attered all over the earth, sheep I have which are not of this was prophesying the 5 with as mu of outsiders that you AVEr & vl come ia, saving to yo “Other fold.’ «0 the first place, I remark that the | Heavenly Shepherd will find many of His | sheep among the nonohurchgoers. Thereare | RIERAtIONs whore they are all Christians, | and they seem to be completely finished, and | they remind { the skeleton leaves which | one of wi yuld | sheep 1 have which are not of this are left cold and white and delice: Wal but a giass o feather me in ath ire sandals y is a} iS A8W yonder is th selves lke There nung to ly brother, is it not stra: be the first man know all yor right I know it very well. You have not been accustomed to come Into relig fous assemblage. but I have a surprising an nouncement to make to you-—you are going to bea the Lord's sheep. "Ah, Jou say, "it is impossible. You don't know ow far I am from anything of that kind." know all about it. I have wandered up and down the world, and I understand your case, I have a still re startling announcement to make ir i Are not 0 s one of will stay | after this RAOUL. | & a at A Lbbsh A AAW rvice to be talked with about your of God, pray for that man. use for you here, I shall not break off 80 much as a ermmb for you, Chris tans, in this sermon, for I am going to give it all to the outsiders, *‘Other sheep I have which are not of this fold. When the Atlantic went to pleces on Mars ¢, and people eclambered upon the , Why did not t} ne minister of of wi § ad sit down and take care of men on the beash, wrapping them in flannels, kindling fire lor them, seeing that they got plenty of food Ah, he knew that there were others who would do that, He says: “Yonder are men and women freezing in the rigring of that wreck. Boys, launch the boat.” And now I seo the oar blades bend under the strong pull, but before they reached the rigging a woman was frozen and dead, She was washed off, poor thing. But he says, “There is a man to save,” and he cries ont: “Hold on five minutes longer, and 1 will save you, Bteady; steady, Give me you hand, 1. nf into the lifeboat, Thank God, he is saved!" 80 there are those here to-day who are safe on the shors of Gods mercy. I will not spend any time with them at all, but I see there are some who are freezing in the rig ging of sin and surrounded by storms, Pull away, my lads! t us reach them. Alas, ons ls washed off and gone There is one more to be saved. Let us push out for tat one, Clutch the rope. Oh, dying man, clutch it aw with a death grip, Steady, now, on the slippery places, Stead There saved, saved! Just as I thought For Christ has declared that there are still in the breakers who shall come ashore “Other sheep 1 have which are not of this fold.” Christ commands His ministers to be lah. ermen, and when I go fishing 1 do not want 0 go among other churches, but into the wide world, not sitting along Hohokus ereek, where eight or ten other Persons are fitting with hook and line, but, like the fish. ermen of Newfoundland, sailing off and dropping net away outside, forty or fifty miles from shore, Yes, there are nonchurehs goers here who will come In. Next Sabbath they will be hero again or In some better church. They are this moment being swept into Christianinssociations, Their voice will be heard in public prayer. They will die in peace, their bed surrounded by Christian sympathies and to be carried out by devout men to be buried, and on thelr graves be susled the words, ‘Precious in the sight of ily RON | worth 4 And SAVIOR to me. | + rv perilous | r, | diteh of yi the Lord {s the death of His saints." And on resurrection day you will get up with the dear children you have already buried and | with your Christian parents who have already | And all the grand and glor- | won the palm, lous history begins this hour, “Other sheep | I have which are not of this fold,” I remark again, the Heavenly Shepherd is | Boing to find a great many of His sheep | among those who are positive rejectors of Christianity, to reject Christianity, It may have been through hearing Theodore Parker preach, of through reading Renan's “Life of Jesus," or through the infidel talk of some young man in your store. It may have been through the trickery some professed Christian man who disgusted you with religion, 1 do not ask you how vou became 80, but you frankly tell me that you do rojoct it. You do not believe that Christ divine being, although vou admit 8 a very good man, You do t the Bible was inspired although you think there are very fine things in it, You believe that Scriptural description of Eden was only an allegory. There are fifty things that I that you do not believe, And yet you ro an accommodating man, Everybody that knows you says that of you.

There are families represented in this house that are wrapped in the martyrdom of fang and scale and venom--a Hying Laocoon of ghastliness and horror. What are you to do?
