DR. CHAPMAN'S SERMON
A SUNDAY DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED
PASTOR-EVANGELIST.
Bubject: The Bow in the Cloud=A Gospel
Message Filled With Sweetness and
Help—In This World at Best We Get
Only the Half of Things.
[The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D. D,, is
now the most distinguished and best
known Svangelist 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. is services as an evangel-
ist are in constant demand. His sermons
have stirred the hearts of men and women
to a degree ianprosciied 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. is 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
him. Dr. Chapman is now in charge of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church, New
York City.] -
NEW Yorrg City.—The following sermon
one iy for publication by the
Wilbur Chapman, America’s best-
known evangelist, who is now preaching to
overflowing congregations in this city. It
is entitled *“The Bow in the Cloud,” and is
founded on the text, Genesis 9: 13, “I do
set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be
for a token cf a covenant between Me and
the earth.”
It may seem at first thought as if this
were a queer text to choose from which to
give a gospe] message, and yet all the
works of God are so wonderful that one
has but to get the key to unlock the door
leading into them to find them filled with
sweetness and with help. The rainbow is
no exception to this rule. It is hardly
possible for one to look upon the bow that
spans the clouds after a storm without an
exclamation of delight.
One would think that it would grow mo-
notonous, for we have seen it so many
times, but quite the opposite is true. Sun-
gets differ 5 tiey ite as unlike as two things
could possibly be. Indeed, it must be true
that one is never like the other. But rain-
bows are always the same. And yet in
_ spite of this we are charmed as we look,
' and inspired as we study.
~ The first mention of a bow is in the
text. It is not said that this is the first
time the rainbow has appeared, for from
the very nature of the case it has always
been in existence since the worlds began
to be, but this is said to be the first use
of it. The last mention of a rainbow is
Revelation 4: 3: “And He that sat was to
look uponiikea jasper and a sardine stone;
and there was a rainbow round about the
throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”
You notice that the expression used is
*round about the throne,” and here for the
first time we find a rainbow in a complete
circle.
We have oniy seen the half of it here,
which is surely an illustration of the fact
that in this world at best we only get the
half of things. We only get the half of
truth. Take the great doctrine of the
‘Atonement; who is able to understand it?
But it is very helpful to know that we are
not obliged to understand it, but only to
receive it. God is satisfied with it, and
He fully comprehends it, and when we
stand with Him in glory we shall see the
other half of the bow, and our hearts shall
rejoice. We only see the half of life here.
‘At its best it is a mystery. Over and over
again, when we wanted to go to the right
we were compelled to turn to.the left, and
a thousand times because of our Jerplest-
ties and trials we have cried aloud:
“How can these things be?”
' But we must learn the lesson that we
must trust Him where we cannot under-
stand Him. The day will come, when
seated at His feet we shall see the other
half of the bow of our life, and we shall
know indeed that all things have worked
together for good.
e last mention of the bow in Revela-
tion tells us that it is to be like an emer-
ald. This is certainly very strange, for
one has never beheld a green rainbow
here. Six other colors must be added to it
to make it complete. The color, however,
is not without its suggestiveness. Green
is the color that always rests the eye. It
is for this reason that the hillsides, the
waving branches of the tree, and the grass
beneath our feet, are so restful on a sum-
mer day. Is not this a hint that heaven
is a place of rest as well as beauty?
There are three primal colors in the
rainbow, red, yellow and blue. If you
drop the red and put the yellow and blue
together you have green as a result. Red
is the color of suffering. Surely it is a
hint as to the thought that when one
passes through the gates of pearl he leaves
suffering behind him. There is to be no
red mark in heaven. Christ finished His
sufferings upon Calvary, and never a pang
shall meet Him again. We finish our suf-
ferings, too, when we say good-bye to this
weary road we have traveled, and the gate
of heaven that shuts us in shuts suffering
out.
I—-THE CLOUD.
We know what the cloud was for Noah
for this text which I have quoted has to
o with him), and a cloud in Noah’s day
was not unlike the cloud of yesterday;
buf in the thought of the sermon the cloud
is sin.
It would make one heartsick to read the
history of sin. First, in the world, begin-
ning with Adam, going to Noah, reaching
the howling mob about the cross on Cal-
vary, coming down to the present day,
when the whole world seems to be touched
with its power, the most terrible thing in
the world is sin. Second, in the home,
blighting and blasting that which is a
tyne of heaven, and wrecking that which
God meant to be a safe vessel to carry us
through the turmoils and strife ever round
about us. Third, in our own heart, giving
us wrong conceptions of God, and drag-
ing us toward hell, even against our will.
he blackest thing in all the world is sin.
The cloud does two things: (1) It ob-
scures the sun. The cloud of sin does the
same thing. No one ever yet has had a
true vision of Jesus Christ with the least
particle of sin in his heart or life. “Blessed
ae the pure in heart, for they shall see
0 1”
A poor fellow converted in one of the
missions in Chicago, who was thought be-
fore his conversion to be hardly worth the
saving, was so wonderfully transformed
that a committee waited upon him to find
the secret of his changed life. He answered
their question in just one sentence:
“I have seen Jesus.”
This vision ever changes the life and
transforms character. :
(2) The cloud compels us to see things
in a false light. God made the works of
His hands to be seen in the sunlight. We
must not judge them under the cloud. ‘And
with the cloud of sin across a man’s mind
he can have no real conception of the
Bible; he must certainly be prejudiced
against the church. Scatier the darkness
that hovers over your mind, and the Bible
will become to you the very thought of
God, while the church will compel your ad-
miration.
II.—ACROSS THE CLOUD GOD CAST
HIS BOW.
To see a bow three things are Becessary.
First, there must be a cloud; we certainly
have that in the world’s sin. Second, the
sun must be shining; we have this condi-
tion met in the fact that God is light, and
in Him there is no darkness at all. Third,
the. rain must be falling. We have this in
Isaiah 55: 10, 11—“‘For as the rain.cometh
down, snd ‘the snow from heaven, apd’ re-
turneth not thither, but watereth the
earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud
that it- may give seed to the sower, an
bread to the eater; so shall My Word be
that goeth forth out of My mouth; it shall
not return unto Me void, but it shall ac-
complish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
Or, we might put it—first, in order that
we may be saved, we must acknowledge
ourselves to be sinners. This is the cloud.
Second, we must have some conception of
God’s hatred of sin. This is the light.
Third, we must be persuaded that He
loved us and gave Himself for us: This is
the rain. With these conditions met, the
bow of promise spans the cloud of a sinful
life.
IIT.—-THE SEVEN COLORS.
If I should hold a prism in my hand and
the light of day should touch it, there
would be refracted at once seven colors,
as follows: Red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo and violet. There never has
been a rainbow in this world but these
have been seen in more or less prominence.
In my message now, the prism 1s the cross,
and the light is God’s truth. As it strikes
this long prism it breaks up into seven
colors. The seven together give us the
rainbow.
First, forgiveness. Psalm 32: 1.—“Blessed
is ‘he whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.”
The word forgiven means taken off.
What a wonderful thought it is! Oh,
what a load of sin we had to carry! How
it did weigh us down! How day and night
we went crying aloud, saying “Oh,
wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me?” Resolution never lifted it a particle.
Reformation only seemed to make it heav-
ier. Then He came, and stooped down, or
whispered to us just one sweet word,
“Forgiven!” and when we realized it the
burden was taken off. To receive all of
this we have but to yield to God. Trying
to make ourselves better only adds to the
cloud and deepens our despair.
The second color is cleansing. Psalm 51:
7— Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be
clean; wash me, and 1 shall be whiter than
snow.”
The little bunch of hyssop carries us
back to the Passover night, when the
lamb was slain and its blood collected. It
was not said that one should take a brush,
but a bunch of hyssep, and dip it in the
he commonest thing that grew in the
East was hyssop. It:represents faith. One
had but to step to the door of the cottage
and stoop down to pluck a bunch of hys-
sop. The commonest thing in all this
world is faith. We have faith in each
other, whether we express it in this word
or not; and the faith that one has in his
mother, in his father, in wife or husband,
if turned toward Jesus Christ would save
his soul. It is one thing to be forgiven, but
the color deepens. and the truth sweetens
when we know that because of the shed
blood of Jesus Christ we may be made
clean. “The blood of Jesus Christ His
Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
he third color is justification. Re-
mans 4: 25— “Who was delivered for our
offences, and was raised again for our jus-
tification.”
One might be perfectly sure of his for-
giveness, and know that it meant sins
taken off, and might be confident of his
cleansing, but there is the memory of the
old life of failure which is ever to him like
a shackle when he would run to God. Jus-
tification is sweeter by far than anything
we have vet learned. When Christ rose
for our justification He stood before God
as a kind of receipt (as John Robertson
has said), and when God looks upon that
receipt: He knows the bill is paid.
“Jesus paid it all. All to Him T owe.
Sin ‘had left a bitter stain, He washed it
white as snow.”
But justification is even better to me
than this, for when ore is justified before
God he actually stands as if he never had
sinned.
The fourth color 1s—sins covered by the
sea. Micah 7: 19—‘“He will turn again, He
will have compassion upon us; He will sub-
due our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all
their sins into the depths of the sea.”
It is very comforting to know that there
are some depths in the ocean so deep that
they can never be sounded. Our sins must
have gone as deep.
here is also another thought of com-
fort; if a body is cast into the ocean where
the waters are not very deep, when the
storms come and the ocean is in a fury,
the storm, as if with giant hands, takes the
dead body and casts it upon the shore.
But there are depths in the sea so great
the face of the deep has stirred the waters.
Thanks be unto God, our sins may be sunk
so deep in the sea that they will never be
cast up against us again. "The color deep-
ens and the truth grows sweeter still.
The fifth color is—sins removed. Psalm
03: 12—“As far as the east is from the
west, so far hath He removed our trans-
gressions from us.” ;
It has been proved that the distance
from east to west could never be meas-
ured. This is certainly inspiring. But
there is something better for me than this
in the fifth color, for when I am told that
my sins are as far from me as the east is
{from the west I know that the east and
the west can never be brought together;
nor can the saved sinner and his pardone
sins ever meet again.
The sixth color is Isaiah 44: 22—‘I have
blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgres-
sions, and, as a cloud, thy sins; return un-
to Me, for I have redeemed thee.”
A man cannot blot out his own sins.
Some have tried it with their tears, and
have lost their reason. Some have at-
tempted it by works of mercy, and have
given up in despair. But God can easily
do it. For sins to be blotted out may
mean the same as for man’s account to be
blotted out. I may have a bill charged
against me on the books, but if on the op-
posite side is credited a sufficient sum of
money to meet the indebtedness, it is
blotfed out. But the expression must mean
more than this. It means that when one’s
sins are blotted out by God they are as if
they never had been. : :
The seventh color seems the climax of
all. Ezekiel 33: 16—‘“None of his sins that
he hath committed shall be mentioned un-
to him; he hath done that which is lawful
and right; he shall surely live.”
We have an idea that, although our sing
have been forgiven and we may have been
justified, when the great day of judgment
comes we may be ood to meet them all
again. But this 1s not true. Once and
for all hath He put away sin by the sac-
rifice of Himself, and the sins of our lives
shall not again be mentioned to us.
IV.—GOD’S COVENANT.
The bow was God’s covenant then. Now
God’s covenant is His Word, anl upon
this Word. we may dcpend. Notice the
number of times God uses the expression,
“I will,” in Exodus 6: 6-8: .
“Wherefore, say unto the children of
Israel I am the Lord, and I will bring you
out from under the burdens of the Egypt-
ians, and I will rid you out of their bond-
age, and I will redeem you with a stretched
out arm, and with great judgments; and I
will take you to Me for a people, and I will
be to you a God; and ye shall know that I
am the Lord your God, which bringeth
you out from under the burdens of the
Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto
the land, concerning the which I did swear
to give it to Abraham, to Isaac and to
Jacob; and I will give you it for an herit-
age; I am the Lord.”
He ever waits to fill the covenant which
He has made with Christ concerning us.
If we would have the joy of salvation, we
need but two things; first, we must be-
lieve God; whatever our feelings may be,
we must believe; second, believing God,
we must act as if we believed Him. The
‘one gives us life. The other gives us joy in
life’s possession.

blood ‘and sprinkle the posts of the door.
that no storm that hasever yet swept across.
A Pretty Brooch.
A flower brooch shows several small
flowers—the pansy blossom is com-
paratively large—these blossoms being
made of baroque pearls, each set in a
calyx of deep-red enamel. The little
flowers are very charming.
A Novel Belt.
Belts of cowhide may appeal to some
tastes. Evidently some old brindle has
yielded up her pelt, for a lot of these
were seen the other day. Each belt
shows various shadings and markings
in an effect which may take with the
shirt waist girl and yet may not.
Women Oculists Scarce.
Why are there so few women ocu-
lists? Of all the women who are grad-
uated year after year from the medical
colleges comparatively few specialize
along this line, and yet it is one of the
most profitable branches of the science,
and one to which one would expect
women to be adaptable. More and more
we are becoming a spectacled people.
In the office of an oculist the writer
found seven persons ahead of her.
When she came out ten were waiting
in the reception room, and the oculist
assured her that it was by no means
an unusualy busy day for him. There
were compatatively few elderly per-
sons, fully half of them being under
twenty-five years of age.—New York
Press. ;
Famous at Twenty-eight.
Rosa Bonheur began “The Horse
Fair” when only twenty-eight. It was
the largest canvas ever attempted by
an animal painter. It was exhibited
at the Salon in 1853 and all the gabble
of jealous competitors was lost in the
admiration it excited. It became the
rage of Paris. All the honors the
Salon could bestow were heaped upon
the young woman, and by special de-
cision all her work was henceforth
declared exempt from examination by
the jury of admission. Rosa Bonheur,
five feet four, weighing 120 pounds,
was bigger than the Salon.
But success did not cause her to
swerve a hair's breadth from her man-
ner of work or life. She refused all
social invitations and worked away
after her own method as industriously
as ever. When a picture was com-
pleted she set her price upon it and it
was sold.—Little Journeys to the
Homes of Famous Women.
Mrs. McKinley's One Comfort.
“Her one comfort is in her daily visit
to the tomb of her husband. She seems
to be living only in his memory and
for the purpose of honoring him.”
The words were spoken of Mrs. Mc-
Kinley by an intimate friend of hers.
They tell in a nutshell the daily life
of the woman who has not recovered,
and never will recover, from the effects
of the shock by the assassin’s bullets
that cost the life of her illustrious hus-
band at Buffalo.
For her convenience at the vault a
rocking chair has been placed in the
house of the dead, near the McKinley
casket. A heavy rug on the floor pro-
tects her from the dampness. When
she enters the tomb she is always
clothed with heavy wraps, so as to pre-
vent any cold from getting hold on her
system. The guards of National sol-
diers on duty have come to regard her
daily visit to the vault as sacred, and
they pay to her the most profound
sympathy and attention.—Philadelphia
North American.
Paid Charity Workers.
“The newest profession for women is
chat of a charity worker,” remarked a
prominent club woman. ‘You needn’t
laugh. There really is such a profes-
sion, and it is new, and if I were a
young woman I would enter into train-
ing for it. There is not much compe-
tition as yet, and the opportunities for
studying charity work are limited, but
still it is now possible.
“New York has established a train-
ing school for charity workers, and it
is meeting with success. The women
who enter are put into active service at
visiting under proper lectures upon
the different phases of the leadership,
and then there are courses of subjects.
It is quite worth entering from a finan-
cial standpoint, also. Philadelphia is
proverbially conservative, and yet we
pay the young woman at the head of
our organizing charities the salary of
$5000, and she can greatly supplement
it by lecturing and literary work upon
the subject of her profession.
“Other cities do better than this, and
the time is not far distant when all
charitable work will be conducted in
a methodical manner by an expert,
who will be well paid for her ser-
vices.””—Philadelphia Record.
Summer Materials.
There are beautiful organdies and
batistes, in printed figures ard em-
broidered designs. Many of these, es-
pecially the batistes, are made with a
border running the length of the ma-
terial at one side, these being designed
especially for use in the three-flounce
skirts, which are to be much used this
Summer. The borders often are of
pale colors, with delicate tracery of
vines running across or in festoons.
Some exquisitely sheer and fine linens
in the natural shade of fawn are
shown in the good shops, most of these
being woven with satin stripes or bro-
caded effects of flowers in white.
Etamines and fine albatross and veil-
fng, as well as crepe de Chine, will
be the materials most in favor for sum-
mer street and afternoon gowns. Of
course they will not push the useful
foulard from-its-place in the affections
of the. women who have tested its
wearing qualities and found them mest
re
reliable, but these plain-toned mate-
rials will be rather smarter. Much
lace and quantities of very narrow
black velvet ribbon are the two most
definite notes in the spring symphony.—
Harper's Bazar.
Woman’s Uneven Shoulders.
“Have you,” said one woman to an
other in the course of a walk through
the shopping district, “noticed how
crooked women are getting to be?
Look at some of the women who pass
us, and see if the right shoulder is
not almost invariably lower than the
other.” The other woman looked, and
lo! it was so.
“It i{s the natural result of always
having a train to hold up,” said the
first woman. “Why will women cling
to such unreasonable fashions? A train
is graceful only when it is allowed to
sweep the ground., and we cannot do
that in the dirty street, consequently
we are everlastingly clutching it te
keep it from the pavement, and the po-
sition this necessitates is so constantly
assumed that the right shouldier is
becoming lower than the other. If the
thing continues the boasted carriage
of the American girl will soon be an
empty boast indeed. The only remedy
for the present, the only hope for the
future, is to leave off trailing skirts
‘and go to a gymnasium. There, under
the direction of a competent teacher,
one who knows just how to cure such
defects, train, and never stop until
you are straight again.”—New York
Sun.

The wandering eye in many fishes
begins to migrate at a very early
age. The fish known as plaice, when
only a fifth of an inch in length and
about a week old, carries one eye on
each side of the nose; when three-
fifths of an inch long and about two
months old, the lef4 eye has crossed
over to the right side. Lemon soles,
when one inch long or two months
old, have the left eye on the edge
of. the head, but when six months
old, or double the size, both eyes are
found on the right side. When a tur-
bot is half an inch in length the
right eye just begins to peep over
the center arch of the bridge; at
three-quarters of an inch it is half
way across, and at an inch the pass-
age is complete, and the two eyes
look out from the left side of the
head.
Highest Altitudes Possible to Man.

why so few have attempted the as-
cent of the highest peaks on the face
of the earth is the conviction that
man cannot withstand the rarefied
air of these altitudes. ‘Heroism
shrinks from such prolonged suffer-
ings as those due to lack of health.”
His own experiments and observa-
tions, however, give us the assur-
ance that man will be able slowly to
accustom himself to the diminished
barometic pressure of the Himalays.
“If birds,” he says, “fly to the height
of 29,000 feet man ought to be able
to reach the same altitude at a slow
rate of progress.”
