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.

i "Wake up!" says a rough voice.
“Political sentiment is changing. How
if you should lose this place of honor!
Wake up! 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!

stitution! A man fit for any positicn!™

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

Alas!" said the man, “I myself am
Charles Matthews.” “Jeffrey thought
