THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA JULY 14, 1808, E WEARY. Rev. Dr. Talmage Preachea a Come forting Sermon. A Land of Rest, Free from Care, Lies on the Other Side of the Great River The Rich and Honored Valunly Seek Repose on this Earth, In the following sermon Dr. Tal- mage gives his views of the heavenly kingdom and draws many sharp con- trasts between the fatigues of this world and the blissful recuperation of that which is to come. lis text ia Micah 2: 10: “Arise ye and depart for this is not your rest.” As far as I can see, your great want and mine is rest. From the time we enter life, a great many vexations and annoyances take after us, We have our holidays and our seasons of reec- reation and quiet, but where is the man in this world who has found en- tire rest! The fac is thag God did not make this world to rest in. A ship might as well go down off Cape Hatteras to find smooth water man in this world to find quiet. the way that God has strewn thorns and hung the clouds, sharpened the tusks; from the that distress us, and the heats smite us, us, and the fevers know that he « as a place to loit thing successful would be were in does deed, infinite wisd have mixed hung trained and ocean his hand, a forth into - it is only the splendd highway, as o From and colds that that con us, 1 1 not make Tin, od de sume orches over which ternal con and 1 bh t here. *y builded thems e great stores.

The morning papers are to be full of denunciation. Hearken to the execrations of those who once ca- reased you. By to-morrow night there will be multitudes sneering at the words which last night you expected would be universally admired. How can you sieep when everything de. pends upon the next turn of the great tragedy, Up, man! Off of this pillow!" The man, with head yet hot for hin last oration, starts up suddenly, looks out upon the night, but sees nothing except the flowers that lie upon his stand, or the books from which he quoted his authorities, and goes to his Soak to finish his neglected corre spondence, or to pen an indignant line to some reporter, or sketch the plan for a public defense against the as saults of the Jeope. Happy when he got his first lawyer's brief; exultant when he triump shed over his first po- litical rival; yet, sitting on the very top of all that this world offers of praise, he exclaims: “No rest! no rest!” The very world that now applauds will soon hiss, Phat world said of the sont Webster: “What a statesman! at wonderful exposition of the con- stitution! A man fit for any positicn!™ That same world said, after a while: “Down with bim!

Yie is a sot. Ie is a libertine, Away with him!" And there is ne eace for the man until he lays down his broken heart in the grave at Marshfield. While Charles Matthews was performing in London, before im- mense audiences, day a worn-out and gloomy man came into a doctor's shop saying: “Doctor, what can you do for mn My that vou go and see Charles Matthews," Alas! Alas!" said the man, “I myself am Charles Matthews.” “Jeffrey thought that if he could only be that would be the making of him; got to be judge, and cursed the in which he was born, Alexander to submerge the world with his great ness; submerged it, and then drank himself to death beeause he could not stand the trouble.

Oh, ye who are warn out with work, your hands calloused your backs bent, your eyes half put out, your fingers worn with the needle, that in this world you may never lay down; ye discour aged ones, who have been waging a hand-to-hand fight for bread; ye to whom the night brings little rest and the morning more drudgery-—oh, ye of the weary hand, and the weary side, and the weary foot, hear me talk about rest! Look at that company of enthroned omen, It cannot be that those bright ones ever tolled Yea! yes! These packed the Chinese tea boxes, and through missionary instruction es eaped Into glory. These sweltered on Southern plantations, and one night, after the cottonpicking, went up as white as if they had never been black Those died of over-toil in the Lowell earpet factories and these in Manches- ter mills; those helped bulld the Pyra- mids and these broke away from work on the day Christ was hounded out of Jerusalem. No more towers to build: Heaven is done. No more garments to weave: the robes are finished. No more harvests to raise; the garners are full.
