1'heso old promises of the ItiMc, of
ferliiK rest and peace to those who arc
troubled and in pain and sin. have a
far different ineuniii',' to us after we
uv heen compelled to lift the cup of 1
3orrw to our lips and drink its con- j
tents ro the bitter dreys. When we I
first bejjin to study liod's word we are
like to that younn man who for the
arst time stood before n famous pic
ture. All the artistic world was rcn
dcriut: homage to that canvas and de- I
daring that it was a masterpiece. Yet i
what did the yotiny man in his liino-
isince say? "Ah. yes. that is a very
pretty picture, but I do not see any-.
tUltn; so wonderful in It." Nut after j
awhile that younj: man boenn to study
art. In Ida h unties he developed the
Intent or dormant artistic powers of
las mind and soul. He not only stud
led In the srr Bcho'.: of America, hut
be- erosiwd the seas n::d went to the
orboals- of France and Italy. He eat
at ttie feet of the groat masters. Then,
Amu fro:n bis studies, he en me baclc
and stood n second time before that

fllfferoMt canvas from mat 'L lie

crew brl.uht; he looked at that picture
first from one' side of the room and
then from the other. At last, after
many minutes of lIuivius soul thought.
! rrird out in rapture: "I'.eantil'nl!
Ileautil'tii: Is it nut beautiful:" When
youny 11 m -11 and ,Yiuii-r women lirst
open the I'.ilile the -npi l promises in
reference to mutuus ami li'-avy bur
dens do not appeal very stroiiuly P
thein. Their horizons are always rain
bowed. Their hillsides ."re always
hanm.- wardens and terra I vine
yards. Their bodies always seem to
have the warm, rich blood of perpetual
youth coursing through their veins. A
physician's prescription is not sought
alter by the well nor an oculist by
those having yood eyes. Hut when,
like that vniiir.' man who studied in
tin. art schools of Kuropc, after we
have been compelled to take a lone;
course in the "school of adversity"
ami then postgraduate course after
postgraduate course, oh, then how dif
ferent (Jod's sweet promises appear to
us:
Today I would talk to those who
have lloundered knee deep and chin
deep In the iptieksands of trouble, I
would try to Interpret for you what
the pis pel rest of my text means. I
would interpret it not only for those
who have found this rest, but also for
those who may be persuaded to seek
it as a !od v-lvon blessing at the foot
of the cross. What is your burden, my
brother? l'crhans it Is some sorrow
common to the whole human race. It
Is very heavy and no lighter from the
fact that others are hearing the same
load. I'erhaps it is some trouble pecul
iar to yourself that you cannot hear to
describe even to a friend. "Kvery heart
kuoweth its own bitterness;" but, what
ever It may be, the invitation Christ
jslvrs is for you.
He offers y..u rest from the over
whelming burden of sin. This was the
heavy pack which nearly crushed the
tired pilgrim in I'.unyan's great alle
piry. It is the heavy burden that makes
the hearts mid brains and eyes and feet
n nil hands and the hacks of all terrific
ally ache during the sad Journey of
life.
Von tell lac that n sin committed enn
never be undone. You say that the
tsullly can never become innocent; that
the soul stained and polluted with
transgression can never be made clean,
r'rom a human standpoint that Is true,
:.ut there Is a divine remedy that ef
fects even that miracle. Christ has
"jorne the penalty for the sins of the
vorld, and through his blood shed for
on your soul may be cleansed. "He
vis wounded for our transgressions;
he was bruised for our Iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was niton
Urn, and by his stripes we arc healed."
The Heavenly Father ofTers rest from
financial distress". The older I grow
the more I realize that the greatest
trtroggle en earth Is after dally bread.
Most people arc not fighting for the
lnxarlet, but for the bare necessaries.
If a ninn guu !f0 or f too nhend In the
bank then comes some dangerous sick
ness In the family. Ills daughter is
threatened with blindness, and she has
to go to the best oculist and have the
most expensive glasses, or his wife
brea'js down, and she must en oil" r,,r
rest, and extra servants are hired, and :
Hi" whole Mini of mo:;ey is soon swept
away.
'IT" i. ial burden is the heavy one
to I" : '. M.iM of us are ready to '.'rant ,
I'.tr.i. That luir.li'ii. too, Christ will,
l.ear If ymi commit it to his hands.
Your anxiety, your distress, your fore-
boding, he will relieve, and he will
give yon rest. "Now," says some-one, i
"; rem her is talking simple nun- i
-. use; If J do not c,,.t out and hustle j
and work and worry and get the tnon- I
ey to feed and clothe and educate my I
rhildrrn !od will never do it for me. i
I do not believe in exporting that Cod ,
will relieve me nf my linanclal distress :
any more than I would expect the wa- I
ter to boll in the kettle If 1 did not
have a tire in the stove or my cupboard
be full of food unless I could order it
at the grocer's or the butcher's. When 1
you begin to talk about God carrying '
the burden of linanclal distress then 1
you are simply talking about some
thing you know nothing about."
No, my brother, yon are wrong. The
mightiest men of God have always
rolled at Christ's feet the burden of
financial distress, and God has never
failed 'them, liy that I do not mean
thesif men have been lazy or Indolent.
Hut I do mean that while they were
physically and mentally doing their
level best to earn the neccssarv amount
for their livelihood they were at the
j same time placing their financial obll-
gat ions before Christ and asking him
j to furnish In his own way the neces
I sary means. Study the life of Moody.
I Who furnished him the money with
j which to carry on his great work?
: God; emphatically God. When Mr.
j Moody received his Invitation to go and
j hold evangelistic services In England
and Scotland he nractlcallv did not
have a cent. He accepted the Invita
tion. He engaged passage iiion n trans
atlantic steamer. The time grew near
er and nearer for him to sail. Some
one asked him where he was going to
get the money with which to sail. "I
do not know." he answered, "hut God
will send it In time. I am going upon
his mission." About two or three days
before he was to sail a gent Ionian
walked Into his otiiee and said: "Mr.
Moody, I hear you are going to Kurope.
I thought you might want a little mon
ey. Here is $o(Ki, If you will take it."
"Thank you." answered Moody, lie
took It. He took not as from man, but
from God. That $."KK) paid Mr. Moody's
passage over to Kngland, so that he
eould preach Jesus Christ hi tlio home
of ltoliert McCheyne and John Uobert
son and Kowland Hill. . ,
And, my. dear Christian frfends, this
plea to roll the financial distress of
your life upon Christ brings up a very
Drtlncnt lesson which ouulit tn . i
iin uceu ny an our entireties. Io you
know why the average Christian
church is having such hard work to
get along lltiancially? At the end of
the year a few rich men have to put
their hands in their pockets and make
up the heavy deficit. It is because
these churches in looking after the
temporal life of their members instead
of the spiritual are not doing their
duty. The best way to get a full
church treasury is not, as some people
suppose, to have a ba.aar. or an oyster
supper, or an evening's entertainment
of Mrs. .larley's wax works,' or a con
cert. The true way to get a full
church treasury is to have a full pray
er meeting. If the rich men of a
church, tin- leading men oi'iciall.v,
would set the light example to the av
erage rhuicli nicinbri's and come to ihe
weekday meetings and tal.,- a Stind-iy
school class ami prat-tin ;itay. r in
public as well as in privat then there
would be no dilliculty In meeting' the
financial obligations of the hoards of
trustees. If we, Ihe members of a
church, honestly and faithfully do the
work of our church in n spiritual way
God will see to it that we shall be able
to easily carry its financial burdens in
a temporal way.
The Heavenly Father offers rest al
so in reference to the salvation of our
children and loved ones. Nearly every
healthy normal man has two ambi
tions. The one is to live long. If I
had my own way and could still live
in health and strength and live amid
the surroundings I am having today
as far as I can make out I would like
to live on earth nt least 1.S7.") years.
When I think of all the glorious oppor
tunities of working on earth for my
Iird ami Master I would not volun
tarily change places with the brightest
robed denizen of all the redeemed Im
mortals in heaven. I feel a great deal
in reference to my earthly work as did
the elder of a I'resbyterlan church.
When he was very sick some one came
to him and said, "My brother, how hap
py you ought to be that you may soon
associate with the angels." "Yes," an
swered the sick man. "that may all be
true, but as far as I can make out I
would on earth for a little while at
least rather associate with one wo
man of flesh and blood, called my wife,
whom I know and love, than with any
twenty angels with whom nt the pres
ent time I am unacquainted."
The second ambition which nearly
every healthy, normal man has is not
only to live long In an earthly sense,
but some day to own a large home, in
which he can gather all his children
and grandchildren and friends and
lovedmes about him. And if a man
longs to have an earthly home, -where
he can collect his loved ones, how much
more must the Christian long that in
his heavenly home he may be able to
collect all his dear ones, his children
and brothers and sisters and parents
and friends those who are bound to
him by ties of love as well as of blood.
There Is not a true Christian man or
woman who baa not felt, at beart-tb.
heavy harden of an unafrvd c&I4.at
relative or friend. Ah. that is a heavy
burden o bear! If I weald throw thli
meeting open to ask for requests (or
prayers from all over this bouse people
would rise and say: "lray for my hus
band," "Fray for my child," 'Tray foi
my brother," "Fray for my roommate,"
"Fray for my sister." But, friend, why
do you ask this pulpit to pray for your
loved one? Why do you not bring that
burden, that heavy burden of the sal
vation of your child or husband, to
Christ? Does not Jesus want you to do
this today? If Christ will carry the
heavy burden of financial distress sure
ly he will bear the heavier burden of
the salvation of your children.
Some years ago a noted evangelist
was holding n series of meetings in the
church of which I was then pastor.
Among the thrilling incidents which
he told was one that appeared to me at
that time very farfetched. I said it
could not be so. He described how
a mother had a wayward boy who had
run away to sea and was at that time
in an Asiatic port. This mother care
fully studied the F.ihle and came to the
conclusion that she had a right to ask
for the salvation of her boy and that
she would then and there throw the
burden of his salvation unon Christ.
i She went to her ro un. after giving
' word that; under no condition was she
; to be interrupted. Then she opened
t the F.ible, laid it upon a chair and
j knelt down. Then she began to pray
t for the salvation of that boy. She
i said: "O God, Jesus has said that if
( I ask anything in his name thou wilt
grant my request. I am going to stay
here pleading upon my knees for the
salvation of my child until thou hast
given to me the sweet consciousness
that he is saved." She stayed there
from ; until 7, 7 until S, !i until JO, in
until 11, until ,i o'clock In the morning
that woman stayed. Then she arose
from her knees and said, "My Heavenly
Father, thou hast answered my
prayer." "At that very time," said the
evangelist, "the boy in the foreign port
, was convicted of sin and sent a letter
! home to his mother that he had given
his heart to Christ." Hut as I after
ward began to ponder over the story,
' i .i. . . ...... .
ui iuc iigui or me scriptures and or
personal history, I came to the conclu
sion that that story was true or at
least Hy gospel promise could be true.
We have a right to ask for the salva
tion of our loved ones. And if we ask
and plead faithfully and truly God
will answer our prayers.
Oh, that we might, one and all, here
and now, enter Into n holy conspiracy
of prayer for the salvation of our loved
ones! This was the way a great re
vival wave was started In one of my
old churches. It was h.vtfjhristinn ieo
ple, members of that church, getting to
gether week after week and praying
for distinct Individuals. It was In this
way that my grandmother and grand
father were converted. Some of you
may have heard the wonderful story
written by tlie peu or spoken" by the
lips of my father; It was by a com
pany of earnest and tearful mothers
gathering together nt a certain time of
the day In the barns to "pray for the
salvntion of-tlielr children jmitll scores
and hundreds stood up In the little vil
lage church of Somervllle to confess
Christ, and the whole region was moved
j by th" power of the Holy Ghost. It is
, by n conspiracy of prayer that a re
; viva I can always be started and our
I loved ones swept into the kingdom by
j a tidal wave of mercy,
j The great trouble with the Christian
j church as a whole and with Christians
as individuals is that we have broken
away from th" old anchorage of gospel
truth. We have lost faith in God that
he is able to do all things; we have
lost faith in prayer; we have lost faith
ill the power of the Holy (ihost. And
the great mission of the Christian pul
pit today is to revive hi the pew the
old gospel seeds of faith and hope.
When Wjiton .Merle Smith was called
to tho Central I'resbyterlan church of
New York city he said to the commit
tee which waited on him: "You do not
want me as your pastor. I am not an
intellectual teacher; I am only a simple
gospel preacher." "Ah," answered the
men, "that is the reason we want you.
The people are hungering and thinning
nfter the simple gospel truths." And It
I is because the simple, salient gospel
j beliefs are so much needed today that
I am preaching this sermon upon faith
and the belief that Christ can save our
loved ones if we only pray.
Thus, my dear friends, tired and
heavy hearted, tramping along the
highway of life, I want to lift the
heavy burdens off your hearts. It Is
these burdens that are crushing you,
not the Journey. Many of the older
men have reail an essay which was fa
mous many years ago. It was written
by the "Country Farson" and called
"Concerning Feople "Who Carry
Weights In Life." The author went
on to show that It was the extra
weights some had to carry that made
them lose the race of life. And it is
these extra burdens which we can cast
nt the foot of the cross that make us
labor and heavy laden. Will you not
accept the Invitation of my text?
Will you not live In the faith of that
blessed promise and die In the hope,
as did the beautiful Princess Eliza
beth, the daughter of Charles I. of
Fiiigland? t'pon her marble monument
in Newport church, ereeted by Queen
Victoria, Is recorded the fact that she
was one morning found dead, with
her head pillowed upon the open Bible
and her finger pointing to the simple
words, "Come unto me all ye that la
bor and are heavy lnden, and I will
give you rest." Today I urge upon you
this wide invitation, with its glorious
promise. Christ bids you come with
all your burdens and trials, and be
will bear them for you. He offers yon
rest In this life, rest In death and
eternal rest beyond the grave. Come
onto him all ye who labor and are
heavy laden, and ha wliT ljTt jreo
