Bubject: An Old Testament Wedding—The Love Romance of Isaac and Rebekah Retold—Teaches a lesson of Divine Providence—invitation to Unbelievers. [The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D. D., is now the most distinguished and best known evangelist in the country. He was second only to Dr. Talmage, but since the death of that famous preacher Dr. Chap- man has the undisputed possession of the Pulpit as the preacher to influence the plain people. His services as an evangel- 1st are in constant demand. is sermons have stirred the hearts of men and women to a degree B02 ntosched by any latter- day divine. J. Wilbur Chapman was born in Richmond, Ind., June 17, 1859. He was educated at Oberlin College and Lake For- est University, and graduated for the min- istry from the Lane Theological Semin- ary, Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1882. His ser- mons are simple and direct, so that their influence is not so much due to exciting the emotions as to winning the hearts and convincing the minds of those who hear im. Dr. Chapman is now in charge of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, New York City.] NEw York Crry.—The Rev. Dr. J. Wil- bur Chapman, the popular pastor-evangel- ist, who is now preaching to overflowing congregations in this city, has furnishe the following eloquent sermon to the press. It was preached from the text Genesis xxiv, 58: “Wilt thou go with this man? And shé said, I will go.” This is the story of an Old Testament wedding in which our text is found, and naturally because it is a marriage scene it 18 interesting. The saying that “all the world loves a lover” is very true, and I suppose 1s not without meaning the wide world round, but there is somet ing about an Oriental wedding which is especially interesting. Again and again in this Book of Inspiration. such scenes are recorded, but of all the Old Testament stories 1 place this the first of its kind. I I were an artist I should paint ‘it, and if I were an artist worthy of my theme it would surpass the other masterpieces in the world’s great gallery of art, notably that of the Russian wedding feast, which has had admiration everywhere. The heart of the picture is an old man; his hair is whitened with grief which in the past days has taken hold upon him, and the lines of his countenance have been peculiarly softened by the.touch of the finger of sorrow, leaving an expression which can.only come to those who have been obliged to bear great burdens and endure great afflictions. braham is practically alone in the world, for Sarah is gone. She who had journeyed with him to Bethel, down into pt and back again to Hebron, the place of fellowship, is at rest, and in the cave of Machpelah she waits by his side to hear the summons given ‘at the resur- rection morning. Abraham was desolate. They had made so long a journey together that their lives were like one. “In the long years liker had they grown, Till at the last she set herself to him Like perfect music unto noble words.” Above him is God, who has kept His word with him when He said, “As I was with Moses so I will be with thee 3”? about him_the angels who keep watch over him all day and all the night in sleepless vigil; before him the trusted servant to ivhom he speaks, “And Abraham was old and well stricken in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. And Abra- ham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and I will make thee swear by the Tord, the God of heaven, and the God of earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughter of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell. But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follew me unto this land; must I needs bring thy .son again unto the land from whence thou camest? Abraham said unto him, Beware thou, that thou bring not my son thither again. The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; He shall send His angel before thee; and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee. then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only bring not my son thither again. And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham, his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.” Genesis 24: 1-9. One of the incidents of the picture would be the setting forth of this servant. “And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand; and 1e arose and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.” Genesis 24: 10. One of the most picturesque sights of the East is a camel train. With a peculiar swinging gait these strange animals of the desert push their way along on a most interest Ing journey, but the picture can only be appreciated when looked upon in the at- mosphere of the Orient. I counted 100 one morning jeurneying toward the pyra- mids beyond Cairo. The train of this old servant was made up of ten camels only, but they were the camels of a prince. Their trappings were gorgeous, and side by side with Abraham we watch them as they go until they are lost to view. The next incident is the approach to Na- hor. It is the hour of sunset; the day is dying out of the sky. There is really noth- ing that can be compared with that time in the East, when the day is far spent and the night is at hand. The birds hush their song, the cattle are still, all nature is at rest, the hills are transfigured and the rivers and the seas are like most beautiful jewels. Ladened with precious gifts the ten camels kneel just as the women are coming forth to draw water from the well. The old servant as they kneel begins to pray. “And let it come to pass that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that i may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy cam- cls drink also; let the same be she that Thou hast appointed for Thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that Thou hast showed kindness unto my master.” Genesis 24: 14, and the answer comes at once. “And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milecah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoul- der.” Genesis 24: 15. Elastic of step, modest of manner, pure of heart, fair of face she stands in the presence of the servant of Abraham. As to parentage she was the daughter of Bethuel; as to condition .she was of virgin purity; as to appearance she was fair to look upon; as to education she was trained to domestic service. This is Rebekah, the bride of the picture. “And the man won- dering at her held his peace, to witness whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. - And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; and saic Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee; is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in? And she d unto him, T am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough and room to lodge in. And the man bowed down his head and worshiped the Lord.” Genesis 24: 21-26. The next incident is the wooing and the departure. The old servant tells his story. makes his appeal, and the text is spoken, “Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, IT will go.” Genesis 24: 58. And the camel train is moving once more, the fam- ily of Rebekah watching until the last camel is lost to view in the distance. The journey is uneventful, but the end of it is more than striking. “And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at eventide; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she lighted off the camel. For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master; therefore she took a veil and covered her- self. And. the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.” And Isaac brought her unto his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her, and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.” Genesis 24: 63-67. I, Here is a lesson of divine providence. Hear Abraham when he says, “The Lord God of heaven which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; He shall send His angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.” Genesis, 24: 7. We think of this as Old Testament Mstory simply. We hear God saying, “As I was with Moses I will be with thee,” and we say certainly, but not with myself. Why it is we always think of God’s care of the patriarchs as mira- cles, without its counterpart is in our own lives, when Cod is our Father, everything in our life is precious to Him, and the very hairs of our head are numbered? He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. and He is your God. The angel of the Lord is still living. We have grown world- ly wise and speak of impressions, convic- tions, coincidences, impulses, when all the time it is the angel of the Lord speaking to us. Have you noticed that there were two servants, one winged one in the air and the other in charge of the camels. It is always so. It is by this double ministry that providences are confirmed. All through life we see it; in the conversion of men, in things common and in things unusual. You say, “I feel a strong im- pulse to da a certain thing.” It is the an- gel of the Lord troubling the stagnation of your heart. You say that I am impressed that I ought to do thus and so, when it is the finger of God writing His purpose on your soul. These are but the heavenly ministers of Jehovah. Look around you and you will find some opportunity for service fitting into your impulse or con- viction, and that which yesterday you wondered at as a coincidence fills you with the spirit of worship to-day as you say, “The Lord was in this place and 1 knew it not.” “Life without a religious interpretation is- little less than a trag- edy.” while life thus viewed Ey have many twists and turns, but ends in heaven. a. I find here a good picture of real service. When Eleazar was leaving Abraham ‘he said, ‘“Peradventure, the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?’ And Abraham said unto him, “Beware, thou, that thou bring not my son thither again. The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; He shall send His angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only bring not my son thither again.” Genesis 24: 5-8. It is the same figure that we have of the watchman upon the walls. Both of these appeal strongly to us. We are not free from responsibility until we have tried at least to.win every soul over whom we have an influence for Christ. I cannot con- vert even the smallest child, nor can you, but I can try to tell them what I have been commissioned to say, for I am my brother’s keeper. Oh, for the intense de- sire to do our Master’s will that Eleazar had. His camels are cared for, he has entered the house of Bethuel. He is weary with his long journey, the savory meat prepared for his feast appeals to his weakness, but hear him say, “And there was set meat before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, speak on.” Genesis 24: 33. Is not this like Paul on his missionary journey. “In jourreyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilder- ness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and painful- ness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in coid and nakedness.” 2 Corinthians 11: 26-27. And is it not like Jesus Himself, when He is ‘weary by the well side, hungry with much fasting and sends is disciple to buy meat which He forgot to eat because of the woman by His side. am sure Rebekah saw in him the great love of Isaac’s heart. And when they said, “Wilt thou go with this man? She said, I will go.” III. Yet there is more to the story than this, I am sure. I know it because I read that what was written afore time was written for our instruction. The great object and aim of the Bible is to illustrate the operations of divine grace, to show the works of Providence in the minute things of life, to show us that provision has been made for the fulfill- ment of the great scheme of Redemption. God speaks in every way; by direct state- ment, by parable, by picture, by types. by symbols, if by all means He may make known the riches of His grace; and here is a whole chapter, one of the longest in the Pentateuch, taken up with a wedding story; there must be some reason. The spirit of God would not use an entire chapter to describe the journey of Abra- ham to Mt. Moriah, and another to tell of the death of Sarah, and another to give an account of a wooing and a wed- ding without meaning. I think it must be that it is all to illustrate the mystery of the church. In the 22d chapter of Genesis, the son is offered up as a sacri- fice, at least Abraham is willing to offer him; in the 23d chapter of Genesis Sarah is laid aside in the tomb, while in “the 24th chapter the servant is sent forth to win a bride for the son. It is at least a perfect illustraticn of that New Testa- ment story where Christ was offered, the only begotten Son of God, where Israel was rejected because . they would not come home. The Holy Spirit, as a serv- ant of God, is calling forth from the world a bride for the Son. This is the work of this generation. The Holy Spirit is the one of whom Jesus spoke when He said, “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceeded from the Father, He shall testi- fy of Me.” John 15: 26. One day we shall meet the Bridegroom, our eyes shall see Him and the wedding feast shall be spread, and all Heaven shall resound with the music of that glad day. TV. I wish in closing to take up the ap: peal of the Holy Spirit, and change the text just a little bit and say to you all, “Wilt thou go with this Man?’ ~ And 1 refer to Christ as this Man. He is the chiefest among ten thousand. I hid you come to Him who walked with men, ate with sinners, smiled with little children, wept with weary women and died with sinful malfactors. “Wilt thou go with this Man?” You who are Christians I ask you the question, for many of°you have not gone with Him, for “How can two walk [it you will go with Him 1t must be in some better way than in other days. First: You must share His opinion of men. He was always excusing weakness, always helping the distressed and al- ways rebuking unkind criticism. You may need to forgive the man who injured you Jterday, for He did, and if you would be like Him you must do the same. “Wilt thou go with this Man?’ Second: e will lead you into the homes where distress is tarrying, reliev- ing embarrassment as when He made the water into wine. Driving the wolf from the door as when He fed the multitudes. You will need to give your money as well ras your sympathy. “Wilt thou go with this Man?” I think I see Him treading the streets of our own city where dis- tress has. gone before Him. There is a child with a heavy heart, and He stops long enough to breathe a benediction of peace. Yonder.is a man upon the verge of despair, and this matchless Savior of ours bids him come unto Him that he may find rest. There is a woman whose child is dying, whose mother is on the brink of Eternity, and He who spoke as never man spake bids her listen as He. says, “I am the resurrection and the life.” There is a celebrated picture which rep- resents Jesus walking through the multi- tude. Before Him all the people are dis- eased, while back of Him as he trods they are all perfectly well. This is His influence always. “Wilt thou go with this Man?” - I put it to all those of you who are not Christians, and bid you remember that it is not an invitation to come to Christ simply but a command. and in is name, after the manner of Eleazar, I say, “Deal kindly and truly with my Master.” By His beautiful life, wilt. thou go? By His agony in the Garden, wilt thou go? By His betrayal and His trial of mockery, wilt thon go? By His chame- ful death, I ask you once again, wilt thou go? His marred face and His bleeding back, His breaking heart, His cry of agony, wilt thou go with this Man? Xe hath trodden the wine press alone for you; He was a man of sorrows and ac- quainted with grief for you. It is the moment of crisis’ in your life. “Wilt thou go with this Man?’ Answer, and answer it now as did Rebekah, “I will go.” Oh, say it; say it. and the Devil shall hear it and tremble, the angels shall hear it and shout for joy. God Him- self shall hear .it and shall rejoice with joy unspeakable. Seeking the Truth. Nicodemus represents a large multitude of men and women in the world to-day. He was seeking truth if not salvation for is restless soul. He was so interested that he did not wait until morning, but came to Jesus by night. Some have sug- gested that he did this not because of his anxiety, but because he' did not have the moral courage to come to the unpopular teacher by daylight. If so the offense was not an unpardonable one, for Jesus did not even rebuke him. He welcomes the coming of the most timid, the most doubting, the most unworthy. N icodemus, like’ nearly all the world who know any- thing "about Jesus, recognized His moral supremacy. They know He is a teacher sent from God by the same test that Nicodemus applied. But that compliment is immaterial to the Christ. That ae- knowledgment has no saving value. “Ex- cept a man be born again” is the ever- lasting sine qua non. the absolute and ir- revocable condition for a heavenly career. How could Jesus have made plainer the necessity of the “New Birth?’ How is, it therefore that more than half the world, more than half, perhaps, of nominal Chris- tendom, are persistently searching for some other way. Why is it so? . The world appropriates other common bless ings from, God's hands without demur or question. His sunshine and sweet air are taken greedily and counted good. Millions have tested His plan of life, His way of salvation, and rejoice in the experience. They give us their word that they find joy and peace. And yet the world is slow to follow. Is it a sign of a perverse heart, or a constitutional incapacity to act in one’s own interest? Jesus was patient with the slow believing Nicodemus. But He did not have nearly twenty centuries of Christian testimony to bear witness to the truth. That is why it will be less tol erable in the judgment for us than for those of Tyre and Sidon and the genera- tions that have gone to their reward and doom.—Ram’s Horn. Spear Points, Conscience is God’s deputy in the soul. Immortality is the glorious discovery of Christianity. Christ reckons not by what is parted with, but what is kept. It is a weak religion that a man ean hide from his household. conscience void of offense before God and man is an inheritance for eternity. There is no human life so poor and small as not to hold many a divine possi- bility. Humility is the altar upon which God wishes that we should offer Him our sacri- ces. The same spirit of faith that teaches a man to cry earnestly, teaches him to wait patiently. More dear in the sight of God and His angels than any other conquest is the conquest of self. . No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. To love God is our happiness, to trust in Him is our repose, to surrender our- selves entirely to His will is our strength. When God designates our work, He will give what is needed for its accomplish ment, if we keep in touch with Him. “Purse-and-All” Consecration. Many who count themselves wholly the Lord’s do not count all their possessions the Lord’s. Yet either we and all that we have are Christ's, or we do’ not feel that we or anything that we have are Christ’s. There is no half-way consecra- tion in God’s service, although many seem to think that personal consecration only applies to those things that are specifically included. That was a very positive truth stated by Prebendary Fox at the Student Volunteer Convention in Toronto, when he said, “There are thou- sands who will trust Christ with the sal- vation of their souls who will not trust Him with the key of their cash-box.” It has been well said that personal conse- cration must: be spelled ‘‘purse-and-all” consecration, or it practically amounts to nothing. The Daily Level. It is the man who lives the well-regu- lated daily life who is fit to meet an emergency when it arises. Little bits of pure inspimtion very seldom come to or are acted upon by slovens, self-indulgent or undisciplined people. “Similarly, the Christian who lives ordinarily at a lower level of grace, whose Christian life is de- pressed and feeble, is unable to seize on great opportunities of usefulness when they occur. Have Faith. If you will look up you will walk stead- ily. Do not ignore the danger, nor pre- sumptuously torget your own weakness; but “when I said my foot slippeth, ‘Thy mercy held me up.” Rec e the slip- pery ice and the feeble foot and couple with them the other thought, ‘‘the Lord knoweth them that are His.”—Alexander McLaren.

The Hdwards woolen mills, at Spartansburg will be removed to Oil AMERICAN TRADE ABROAD. Manufactured Products of Yankee In- genuity in Remote Places. Punta Arenas in Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost continental spot on the globe, but the modern lighthouse on that lonely coast is equipped with electrical machinery made in Schen- ectady, N. Y. The firm that manufac- tured it has also pushed electricity farthest north by installing dynamos at Hammerfast, in Norway, and, though it is a far ery from the deep- est drifts of the Calumet and Hecla mine to Yanteles, in the Andes, 14, 000 feet above the sea, two consign- ments recently left Schenectady, one for the deep mine, the other for the mountain. By the bedside of the pope is placed every night an American flashlight apparatus in the form of a cylinder with an incandescent blub in one end—in effect an electrical can- dle. At Bagdad, Aladdin has been re- placed by a New York concern. Lamps of fanciful patterns are sent from New York to a point on the Persian gulf, and thence conveyed over some 300 miles of desert on camel back. They are then placed on rafts and towed 100 miles up the Euphrates and again loaded on camels and carried to their destination, 200 miles from the river. These lamps decorate the palaces of the Sultan of Morocco, the Prince of Siam and several rajahs in British India; and they are also pop- ular in Jerusalem. From the Falls of the Couvery, one of the sacred rivers of India, to Kolar, in Mysore, Amer- ican electrical engineers have recent- ly set up an American transmission plant under somewhat remarkable circumstances. There are still wild elephants in Myscre, and there will always be white ants.

Large Dritislr Families. Mrs. Mary Lancaster, who was bur- fed recently at Lancaster, in England, left 110 grandchildren ard fifty great- grandchildren. Around her grave were 100 descendants, relatgs the London Chronicle. But a still more remarkable case is recorded by Lord George Lyttleton in his “Miscella- neous Works,” in an account of a tour in Wales. ‘He mentions the death of a Welsh farmer near Festiniog at the ripe age of 105. The Welshman had married three times. By his first wife he had thirty children, Not deterred by this family, he married again, and had ten by his second. By his third wife he brought the children to forty-four, the last child being eighty-one years younger than the eldest. At the farmer’s funeral there was an attendance of 800 descendants. A few families like that and Canada would probably no longer call for settlers. Artificial incubators are being used in England for pheasants and other game birds.
