? U THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, MONDAY, JUNE ,17, 1889. ,'V; f LOST IN THE DESERT. Dr. De Witt Talmasje Talks of People Who Have Lest Their Way. SEEKING ODE PROPER SPHERES. Men TTho Ha?e Wrought Out Their Des tinies, While Others Are ADRIFT OS LIFE'S TRACKLESS WASTES. ISrXCIAX. TELXGKAH TO TUX DISPATCH.! Brooklyn, June 16. The Bev. T. De "Witt Talmage, D. D., preached at the Tab ernacle to-day. A ract congregation filled the spacious building to overflowing. After making an exposition or Scripture, the pastor gave-out the hymn "beginning: Glory to God on Lien, Let heaven and earth reply, which the great body of worshipers sang vith majestic effect. The subject of Dr. Talmage's discourse was: "People "Who Hare Lost Their Way." He took for his text: "And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the bottle with water and gave the lad drink." Genesis sxi, 19. The eloquent preacher said: Morning breaks upon Beer-sheba. There is an early stir in bonse of Abraham. There has been trouble anions the domestics. Bagar, an assistant in the household, and her son, a brisk lad of 16 j ears, hare become impudent and in solent, and Sarah, the mistress of the house bold, puts her foot down very hard, and says that they will hare to leave the premises. They are packing up now. Abraham, knowing that the Journey before his servant and son will be ery long and across desolate places, in the Kindness of his heart sets about patting up some bread and a bottle with water in it. It is very plain lunch that Abraham provides, hut I warrant you there would have been enough of it bad they lost their way. "God be with jour' Hid old Abraham as he gave the lunch to Hagar, and a good many charges as to bow she should conduct the journey. Ishmael, the boy, I suppose bounded away in the morning light. Boys always like a morning change. Poor Ish mael! He has no idea of the disasters thatare ahead of him. Hagar gives one lone, lingering; look on the familiar placo where she had spent so many happy days, each scene associated wich The pride and joy of her heart young Ish mael. ADRIFT ON THE DESEET. The scorching noon comes on. The air is Stifling and moves across the desert with In sufferable suffocation. Ishmael, the boy, be gins to complain and lies down, but Hagar rouses him up, saying nothing about her own weariness or the sweltering heat; for mothers can endure anythinc. Trudge, trudge, trudge. Crossing the dead level of the desert, bow wearily and slowly the miles slip. A tamarind that seemed hours ago to stand only just a lit tle ahead, inviting the travelers to come under Its shadow, now is as far off as ever.or seeming ly so. Jfight drops upon the desert, and the travelers are pillowless. IshmaeL very weary, I suppose, instantly falls asleep. Hagar, as the shadows of the night begin to lap over each other Hagar hugs her wearv boy to her bosom and thinks of the fact that it is her fault that they are in the desert. A star looks out, and every falling tear it Kisses with a sparkle. A w lnc of wind comes over the hot earth and lifts xne jocks irom me revered brow of the boy. Hagar sleeps fitfully, and in her dreams travels over the weary day, and half awakes her son by crying out in her sleep: -Ishmael 1 Ishmael H And so they go on, day after day and night after night, for tbey have lost their way. No path in the shifting sands, no sign In the burn ing sky. The sack empty of the flour, the water gone from the bottle. What shall she dol As she puts her fainting Ishmael under a stunted shrub of the arid plain, she sees the bloodshot eye, and feels the hot hand, and watches the blood bursting from the cracked tongue, and there is a shnek in the desert of Beer-sheba: "We shall aie! we shall die!" J ow, no mother was ever made strong enough to hear her son cry m vain for a drink. Here tofore she had chaered her boy by promising a speedy end of the journey, even smiled upon Jiim when bo felt desperately enough. Now there is nothing to do but place him under a shrub and let him die. She had thought that she would sit there and watch until the spirit of her boy would go away forever, and then she would breath out her own life on his silent heart; but as the boy begins to claw his tongue in agony of thirst, and struggle in distortion, and beg his mother to slay him, she CANNOT ENDURE THE SPECTACLE. She puts him under a shrub and goes off a bow shot and begins to weep until all the desert seems sobbing, and her cry strikes clear through the heavens: and an angel of God comes ont on a cloud and looks down upon the appalling grief, and cries: "Hagar, what aileth thee T" She looks up and she sees the angel pointing to a. well of water, where she fills the bottle for the lad. Thank God! Thank God! 1 leam from this Oriental scene, in the first place, what a sad thing It is when people do not know their place, and get too proud for their business. Hagar was an assistant in that household, but she wanted to rule there. She ridiculed and jeered until her son, Ishmael got the same tricks. She dashed out her own hap piness and threw Sarah into a great fret: and if she bad staved much longer in that house hold sue would have upset calm Abraham's equilibrium. My friends, one-half of the trouble in the world to-day comes from the fact that people do not know their place; or, finding tbeir place, will not stay in it When we come into the world, there is always a place ready for us. A place for Abraham. A place for Saran. A place for Hagar. A place for Ishmael. A place for you and a place for me. Onr first duty is to find our sphere; our second is to keep it. We may be tjorn in a sphere far off from the one for which God finally intends us. Sextus V. was born on the low ground, and was a swineherd; God called him up to wave a scepter. Ferguson spent bis early days in looking after the sheep; God called him up to look after stars and be a shepherd watching the flocks of light on the hillsides of heaven. Hogartb began by engraving pewter pots; God raised him to stand In the enchanted realm of a painter. The shoemaker's bench held HI oo in field a little while; but God called him to sit In the chair of a philosopher and Christian scholar. The soapboiler of London could not keep bis son in that business, for God had de cided that Hawley was to be one of the great est astronomers in England. On the other band, we may be bom. in a sphere a little higher than that for which God intends us. We may be born in a castle, and play in a costly conservatory, and feed high bred point ers, and angle for gold fish in artificial nonds. and be FAMILIAR WITH PRINCES; Yet God may have fitted us for a carpenter's Shop, or dentist's forceps, or a weaver's shuttle, or a blacksmith's forge. The great thing is to find just the sphere for which God Intended us. and then to occupy that sphere and occupy it forever. Here is a man God fashioned to make a plow. There is a man God fashioned to make a constitution. The man who makes the plow is jnst as honorable as the man who makes the constitution, provided he makes the plow as well as the other man makes the con stitution. There is a woman who was made to fashion a robe, and yonder is one Intended to be a queen and wear it It seems to me that in the one case as in the other. God anDoints the sphere; and the needle is just as respecta ble In bis sight as the scepter. I do not know but that the world would long ago have been Bared it seme of the men out of the ministry Were in it, and some of those who are in it were out of it I really tbink that one-half of the world may be divided into two-quarters those who bare not found their sphere, and those who, having found it are net willing to stay there. How many are struggling for a position a lit tle higher than that tor which God intended them. The bondswoman wants to be mistress. Hagar keeps crowding Sarah. The small wheel of a watch, which beautifully went treading its golden pathway, wants to be the balance wheel, and the sparrow, with chagrin, drop into the brook, because it cannot, like the eagle, cut a circle under the sun. In the Lord's army we all want to be brigadier generals. The sloop says: "More mast; more tonnage; more can vas. 0, that I were a topsail schooner, or a full rigged brig, or a Cunard steamer." And so the world is filled with discontent because we are not willing to stay in the place where God put us and Intended us to be. My friends, be not too proud to do anything God tells you to do. For the lack of a right disposition in this re spect the world is strewn with wandering Ha gars and Ishmaels. God has given each one of us a work to do. You carry a scuttle of coal up that dark alley. You distribute that Chris t tian tract Yon give 110,000 to the missionary cause. You, for 15 years, sit with chronic rheumatism, displaying the beauty of CHRISTIAN SUBMISSION. Whatever God calls you to. whether it win hissing or huzza; whether to walk under triumphal arch or lift the sot ont of the ditch; Whether it be to preach on a Pentecost, or tell some wanderer of the street of the mercy of t the Christ of Mary Magdalene; whether It be to weave a garland for a lading child on a Spring mornlnc, and call lr lay quesn. or to comb out the tanglfed locV waif of the street and cnt up one of your old dresses to fit ber out for tho sanctuary do it and do it right anay. Whether it be a crown or a yoke, do not fidget. Everlasting honors upon those who do tbeir work, and do their whole work, and are contented in the sphere in which God has put them: while there is only wandering, and exile, and desolution, and wilderness, for discontented Hagar and Ishmael. Again: I find in this Oriental scene a lesson of sympathy with woman when she goes trudg ing forth in tbe desert What a great change it was for this Hagar. There vas the tent and all the surroundings of Abraham's bouse, beau tiful and luxurious no doubt Now she is going out into the hot sands of tbe desert O, what a change it was! And in our day we often see the wheel of fortune turn. Here is some one who lived in tbe very bright home of her father. She had everything possible to administer to ber happiness. Plenty at the table. Music in the drawing room. Welcome at the door. She is led forth into life by some one who cannot appreciate her. A dissipated soul comes and takes her out in tbe desert Iniquities blot out all the lights of that borne circle. Harsh words wear out her spirits. The high hone that sbode out over tbe marriage altar while the ring was being set and the vows given and the benediction pronounced, have all faded with the orange blossoms, and there she is to day, broken hearted, thinking of past joy and present desolation and coming anguisn. .uagar in tne wilderness! A SCENE OF HAPPINESS. Here Is a beautiful home. You cannot think of anything that can be added to it For years there has not been the suggestion of a single trouble. Bright and happy children fill the house with laughter and song. Books to read. Pictures to look at Lounges to rest on. Cup of domestic joy full and running over. Dark night drops. Pillow hot Poises flutter. Eyes close. And the foot whose weil-knon n steps on tbe door sill brought the w hole household out at eventide, crying: "Father's coming," will never sound on the door sill again. A long, deep grief plowed through all that lightness of domestic life.. Paradise lost! Widowhood! Hagar in the wilderness. How often it is we see tbe weak arm of woman conscripted for this battlo with tbe rough world. Who is she, going down tbe street in the early light of the morning, pale with exhausting work, not half slept out with ine sium oersoi last nignt rrageaies oi suncr lng written all over her face, herlusterless ejes looking far ahead as though for tbe com ing of some other trouble? Her parents called her Mary, or Bertha, or Agnes on the day when tbey held her up to the font and the Christian minister sprinkled on the infant's face the washings of a holy baptism. Her name is chanced now. I hear it in tbe shuffle of the worn-out shoes. I see it in the figure of the faded calico. I find it in the lineaments or the woe-begone countenance. Not Mary, nor Bertha, nor Agnes, but Hagar in the wilder ness. May God have mercy upon woman in her toils, her struggles, ber hardships, her desola tion, and may tbe great heart of Divine sym pathy inclose her forever. Again: I find in this Oriental scene the fact that everv mother leads forth tremendous des tinies. You say: "That isn't an unusual scene, a mother leading her child by tbe hand." Who is it that she is leading? Ishmael, you say. Who is IshmaelT A great nation is to be founded: a nation so strong that it is to stand lor thousands of years against all THE ABMIES OP THE WORLD. Egypt and Assyria thunder against it, but in vain. Gaulus bringsup his army, and his army is smitten. Alexander decides upon a cam paign, brings up bis hosts and dies. For a long while that nation monopolizes the learning of tbe world. It is the nation ot the Arabs. Who founded it? Ishmael, the lad that Hagar led into the wilderness. She had no idea she was leading forth such destinies. Neither does any mother. You pass along the street and see pass boys and girls who will yet make the earth quake with their influence. Who isthatboyatSutton Pool,Plym onth, England, barefooted, wading down into tbe slush and slime, until bis bare foot comes upon a piece of glass and he lifts it bleeding and pain-struck? That wound in the foot de cides tbat he be sedentary in life, decides that be be a student That wound ny tne glass in the foot decides tbat be shall be John Kitto, who shall provide the best religious encyclo pedia tne wona nas ever naa proviueo, ana, with his other writings as well, throwing a light upon tbe Word of God such as has come from no other man in this century. O mother, mother, that little hand tbat wan ders over your face may yet be lifted to hurl thunderbolts of war, or drop benedictions. That little voice may blaspheme Goa in tbe grog shop, or cry "Forward!" to the Lord's hosts, as they go out for their last victory. My mind to-day leaps SO years ahead, and I see a merchant prince of New York. One stroke of his pen bnngs a ship out of Canton. Another stroke of bis pen brings a ship into Madras. He is mighty in all the money markets of the world. Who is he? He sits to-day beside you in the tabernacle. My mind leaps 30 years for ward from this time, and I find myself in a re lief association. A great multitude of Chris tian women have met together for a generous purpose. There is one w oman in tbat crowd who seems to have the confidence of all the others, and they all look up to ber for her coun sel and for her prayers. Who is she? To-day vou will find ber in the Sabbath school, while tbe teacher tells ber of that Christ who clothed the naked and fed the hungry and healed the sick. My mind leaps forward SO years from now, and 1 find myself in an African jungle; and tbere is a missionary of the cross address ing the natives, and their dusky countenances are irradiated with tbe glad tidings of GEEAT JOY AND SALVATION. Who is he? Did you not hear his voice to day hi the first song of the service? My mind leaps forward SO years from now and I find myself looking through the wickets of aprison. I see a face scarred with every crime. His chin on his open palm, bis elbow on hi.- knee a picture of despair. As I open tbe wicket he starts, and I bear the chain clank. The jail keeper tells me that he has been In there now three times. First for theft then for arson, now for murder. He steps upon the trap door, the roue is fastened to his neck, the plank falls, his body swings into tbe air, his soul swings off into eternity Who is he, and where is he? To-day playing kite on the city commons. Mother, you are to-day hoisting a throne or forging a chain you are kindling a star or digging a dungeon. A good many jears ago a Christian mother sat teaching lessons of religion to her child; and he drank in those lessons. She never knew that Lamphier would come forth and establish tbe Fulton street prayer meeting, and by one meeting revolutionize the devotions of tbe whole earth, and thrill the eternities with his Christian influence. Lamphier said it was bis mother who brougbt him to Jesus Christ She never had an idea that she was leading forth such destinies. Bnt O, when I see a mother reckless of ber influence, rattling on toward distraction, garlanded for the sacrifice with unseemly mirth and godlessness, cajly tripping on down to ruin, taking ber children in tbe same direction, I cannot help but say: "There they go. there they go Hagar and Iolimael!" I tell you there are wilder deserts than Beersbeba in many of the domestic circles of this day. Dissipated parents leading dissi pated children. Prayerless parents leading prayerless children. They go through every street, up every dark alley, into ever' cellar, along every highway. Hagar and Ishmael! and while I pronounce their names, it seems like the moaning of a death wind Hagar and Ishmael! I learn one more lesson from this Oriental scene, and that is, that every wilderness has a well in it Hagar and Ishmael gave up to die. Hagar's heart sank within her as she heard her child crying: "Water! water! water!" "Ah," she says, "my darling, there Is no water. This is a desert" And then God's angel said from the cloud: "What aileth thee, Hagar?" And she looked up and saw him pointing to a well of water, where she filled the bottle for the lad. Blessed be God that there is in every wilder ness a well, if you only Know how to find it fountains for all these thirsty souls to-day. THE FOUNTAIN OF LITE. "On that last day, on that great day of the east, Jesns stood and cried: If any man thirst, "let him come to me and drink." All these other fountains are mere mirages of the desert Paracelsus, you know, spent his time In trying to find ont the elixir of life a liquid which, if taken, wonld keep one perpetually young in this world, and would change the aged back again to youth. Of course, be was disappointed; be found not the elixir. Bnt here I tell yon to day of the elixir ot everlasting life bursting from the "Rock of Ages," and that drinking that water you shall never get old, and you will never be sick, and you will never die. "Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters." An, here Is a man who says: "I have been looking for that' fountain a great while, but can't find it" And here is someone else who says: "I believe all you say, but I have been trudging along In the wilderness,and can't find the fountain." Do you know the reason? I wllUtell you. You never looked In the right direction. "Or" you say, "I have looked everywhere. I have looked north, south, east and west and I haven't found the fountain." Why. you are not looking in tbe right direction at all. Look np, where Hagar looked. She never would have found the fountain at all, but when she heard the voice of the angel she looked up, and she saw the finger pointing to tbe supply. And O, soul, if to-day, with one earnest, intense prayer you would only look up to Christ He would point you down to the supply in the wilderness. "Look unto me, all ye ends of tbe earth, and be saved; for I ask God, and there is none else." Look! look! as Wagar looked. Yes, there is a well for every desert of be reavement Looking over the audience to day, I notice signs of mourning. Have you found consolation? O man bereft O woman bereft have jou found consolation? Hearse after hearse. We step from one grave hillock up anomer grave nuiocit we xoiiow corpses, ourselves soon to be like them. The world Is in mourning for Its dead. Every heart has become the sepulcher of some buried joy. But sing ye to God, every wilderness has a well In it; and I come to tbat well to-day, and I begin to draw water from that well. It you have lived in the country you have sometimes taken hold of tbe rope of the old well sweep, and you know bow tho bucket came up dripping with bright cool water. And I lay hold of the rope of God's merer to-dar. and I begin to draw on that Gospel well sweep, and I see tho buckets coming up. Thirsty soul! here Is one bucket of life! come and drink of it: "Who soever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." I pull away again at the rope, and another bucket comes up. It is this promise: "Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh In the morning." I lay bold of the rope again, and I pull away with all my strength, and the bucket comes up bright and beautiful and cool. Here is tbe promise: "Come unto me. all ve who are wearv and heavy laden, and I will give you rest" A NEW ASTROLOGY. The old astrologers used to cheat tbe people with the idea that tbey could tell from the po sition of the stars what would occur in the f nture, and if a cluster of stars stood in one relation, that would be a prophecy of evil; if a cluster of stars stood in another relation, tbat would be a prophecy of goad. What super stition! But here is a new astrology in which 1 put all my faith. By looking up to the star of Jacob, tho morning star of the Redeemer, I can make this prophecy in regard to those who put their trust in God : "All things work to gether for good to those who love God." I read it out on the sky. I read it out in the Bible. I read it out in all things: "All things wor& xogemer lor good to tnose wno iove uoa." Do you love Him ? Have you seen the Nye tanthes ? It is a beautiful flower, but it gives very little fragrance until after sunset Then it pours its richness on the air. And this grace of tbe Gospel that 1 commend to you this day, while it may be very sweet during the day of prosperity, itpoui s forth its richest aroma after sun aown, and it will be sun down with you and me after awhile. When you come to go out of this world, will it be a desert march or will It be a Xountain for vour soul ? A Christian Hindoo was dvintr. and his heathen comrades came around him and tried P0IS0NED WATER. One of the leading surgeons in the Army, made the following characteristic remark: "Water kills more soldiers than bullets." His meaning was, tbat soldiers who drank impure water, died by disease In greater numbers than those killed by bullets. The surgeon was right Impure water, especially at this season, is a ter rible cause of sickness and death. But the pub lic say, what shall we do? There is but one sen sible thing to do, and that is to purify the water by mixing It with something that de stroys all poison or disease-breeding germs, and nothing does this like pure whiskey. Bnt it may be asked, where can I obtain pure whiskey? Professor Henry A. Mott says, "the pmlty of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is abso lute, and should commend it to the highest public favor." There are hundreds of families tbat are drinking water constantly, and are kept in perfect health by simply mixing a little of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey in each glass tbey drink. It is a simple and a sure preventive of Summer diseases and germ poisons, and is in dorsed by the best people in the land. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A STARTLING FACT.

DYSPEPSIA. This disease seems to affect nearly the en tire human family. It affects persons in dif ferent ways. Dyspepsia is simply indiges tion, or want of power to convert food into chyle, from which the blood is mainly de rived. The process of digestion may be more or less obstructed for years by im proper food, want of exercise, overwork, care, depression and other causes, before the marked symptoms of the disease mani fest themselves. At length follow the ir regular appetite, discomfort before or after eating, rising of food, eructations, gastric irritability, costiveness or diarrhoea, pains in the chest, pains in the limbs, pains in the head, restlessness, loss of flesh, de bility, mental depression, palpitation, dizziness, suffocation and nearlr everv discomfort known to mortals. The cause not being known or suspected, the sufferer is doctored for symptoms by thif, that, and the other medicine, till, dying a thousand miserable deaths by the disease and drugs, he finally looks for "no relief and gives up to a miserable existence. Such being the nature of this disease and so per sistent ana serious in its enects upon both body and mind, how essential that one skilled in the treatment of it should be sought at once and have the disease thor oughly eradicated and the system restored to health, which can be done by the power ful common sense treatment as practiced by Dr. 'Woods.
