CALL TO OUTSIDERS.

SERMON BV DR. TALMAGE AT THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

The Dog In tlie Manger Spirit Sheep That Are In Strange Folds—People Whe Are Gospel Hardened The Cry For

Kelp.

Fine Fruits,!

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Three thousand persons were turned away from the Academy of Music this afternoon, being unable to gain admission. A few minutes after the doors wero opened the auditorium and galleries were densely crowded. Rev. Dr. Talmage's sermon for tho day was "A Call to Outsiders," the text chosen being John x, 1G, "OthI or sheep 1 have which aro not of this fold. I There is no monopoly in religion. The grace of God is not a little property that wo may fence off and have all to ourselves. It is not a king's park at which wo look through the barred gateway, wishing that wo might go in and see tho deer and tho statuary and pluck the (lowers and fruits in tiie royal conservatory. No. It is tho Father's orchard, and everywhere there are bars that we may let down aud gates that we may swing open. in my boyhood next to tho country sclioolhouse there was an orchard of ap pies, owned by a very lame man, who, although therj were apples in the place perpetually decaying and by scores and scores of bushels, never would allow any of us to touch tho fruit. One day, in the pin fulness of a nainro inherited from our first parents, who were mined by tho same temptation, some of us invaded that orchard, but soon retreated, for the man camo after us at a speed reckless of making his lameness worse and cried out, "Boys, drop those apples, or I'll set the dog on you.

In Strange Company.

Well, my friends, there aro Christian men who have the church under severe guard. There is fruit in this orchard for the whole world, but they have a rough and unsympathetic way of accosting outsiders, as though they had no business here, though the Lord wants them all to come and take the largest and ripest fruit on the premises. Have you an idea, because you were baptized at 13 months of age, and because you have all your life been under hallowed influences, that thereforo you havo a right to one whole side of the Lord's table, spreading yourself out and taking up the entire room? I tell you no. You will have to haul in your elbows, for I shall placo on either side of you those whom you never expected would sit there, for, as Christ said to his favored people long ago, so he says to you and to me, "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold.

MacDonald, the Scotchman, has four or five dozon head of sheep. Some of them are browsing on the heather some of them are lying down under th^ tivv:-: soino of them aro in his yard—th: r.vo scattered around in eight or hi) wif.V.--ent places. Cameron, his neigh b-r, comes over and says: "I sre you hav-.: 30 sheep. I have just counted them." "No, says MacDonald, "I have a givntmany more sheep than that. Some aro here, and some are elsewhere. They aro scattered all around about. 1 havo 4,000 or 5,000 in my flocks. Other sheep 1 have which are not in this fold.

So Christ says to us. Here is a knot of Christians, and thero is a knot of Christians, but they make up a small part of the flock. Here is tho Episcopal fold, tho Methodist fold, tho Lutheran fold, tho Congregational fold, the Presbyterian fold, tho Baptist and the Pedo-Baptist fold, tho only difference between these last two being the mode of sheep washing, and so they aro scattered all over, and we come with our statistics and say there aro so many thousands of the Lord's sheep, but Christ responds: "No, no. You have not seen more than one out of 1,000 of my flock. They are scattered all over tho earth. 'Other sheep I havo which are not of this fold.'

Christ IN my text was prophesying the conversion of the gentiles with as much confidence as though they were already converted, and he is now, in the words of nay text, prophesying the coming of a great multitude of outsidors that you never supposed would come in, saying to you and saying to me, "Other sheep 1 have which are not of this fold."

Stray Sheep.

In the first place, I remark that the

The minister of Christ

There are somo hore who say, "1 stopped going to church 10 or 20 years ago." My brother, is it not strange that you should be the first man I should talk to today? I know all your case. I know it very well. You have not been accustomod to come into religious assemblage, but I have a surprising announcement to make to you—you are going to become one of the Lord's Bheep. "Ah," you say, "it is impossible. You don't know how far I am from anything of that kind." I know

heavenly shepherd will find many of his sheep among the nonchurchgoers. There are congregations where they are all Christians, and they seem to bo completely finished, and they remind one of I the skeleton leaves which by chemical preparation have had all the greenness and verdure taken off thorn and are left cold and white and delicate, nothing wanting but a glass case to put over I thein.

has noth-

ing to do with such Christians but to I come once a week aud with ostrich feather dust off the accumulation of the last six days, leaving them bright and crystalline as before. But the other kind of a church is an armory, with perpetual sound of drum and fife, gathering recruits for the Lord of Hosts. We say to every applicant: "Do you want to bo on God's side—the safe side and .the happy side? If so, come in the armory and get equipped. Here is a bath in which to be cleansed. Hero aro sandals to put upon your feet Hero is a helmet for your brow. Here is a breastplate for your hoart Here is a sword for your right arm, and yonder is the battlefield. Quit yourselves like men."

all about it. I have wandered up and down the world, and I understand your case. I have a still more startling announcement to make in regard to you— you aro not only going to become one of the Lord's sheep, but you will become one today. You will stay after this service to bo talked with about your soul. People of God, pray for that man. That is the only uso for you here. I shall not brrak off so much as a crumb for yon, Christians, in this sermon, for I am going to give it all to tho outsiders. "Other sheep I havo which aro not of this fold."

When the Atlantic went to pieces on Mars 5' rock, and the people clambered upon tho beach, why did not that heroic minister of the gospel of whom we have all read sit down and take care of those men on the beach, wrapping them in flannels, kindling firo for them, seeing that they gut plenty of food? Ah, ho knew that there were others who would do that. He say. "Yonder aro men and women ?v ing in the rigging of that wreck. launch the boat." And im.iv 1 seo the oar blades bend under tho strong pull, but before they reached tho ringing a woman was frozen and drufi. thirg. iZnt

There—saved, saved! Just as I thought. For Christ has declared that there aro some still in tho breakers who shall come ashore. "Other sheep I have which aro not of this fold."

Searching For Stray Slieep.

Christ commands his ministers to bo fishermen, and when I go fishing I do not want to go among other churches, but into tho wide world, not sitting along Hohokus creek, where eight or ten other persons aro sitting with hook and line, but, like tho fishermen of Newfoundland, sailing off and dropping net away outside, -10 or 50 miles from shoro. Yes, thero aro nonchurchgoers here who will como in. Next Sabbath they will bo hero again or ill somo better church. They aro this moment being swept into Christian associations. Their voico will bo heard in public prayer. They will dio in peacc, their bed surrounded by Christian sympathies and to bo carried out by devout men to bo buried and on their grave bo chiseled the words, "Precious in tho sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." And on resurrection day you will got up with tho dear children you havo already buried and with your Christian parents who have already won tho palm. And all that grand and glorious history begins this hour. "Other sheep I have, which aro not of this fold."

I remark again, tho heavenly shepherd is going to find a great many of his sheep among those who aro pesitivo rejectors of Christianity, do not know how you camo to reject Christianity. It may have been through li earing Then(lore Parker preach, or through reading Kenan's "Life of Jesus, or through the infidel talk of some young man in your store. It may havo been through tho trickery of some professed Christian man who disgusted you with religion. I do not ask you how you becamc so, but you frankly tell me that you do re-

Itoady to Obey.

Now I come and tell you of a physician who will cure you, who has cured hundreds and hundreds who wero as sick as you are. "Oh," you say, "I have no confidence in him." But will you not try him? Accommodate me in this matter oblige me in this matter just try him. 1 am very certain he will cure you. You reply, "I havo no especial confidence in him, but if you ask me as a matter of accommodation introduce him." So I do introduce him—Christ, the physician who has cured more blind I eyes and healed more ghastly wounds and bound up more broken hearts than all the doctors since the time of JEsculapius. That divine physician is here. Are you not ready to try him? Will you not, as a pure matter of experiment, trj him and state your case boforo him thii

ject it. You do not believe that Christ fore the throne of God who have walls a divine being, although you admit that he was a very good man. You do not believe that the Bible was inspired of God, although you think there aro some very fine things in it. You believe that tho Scriptural description of Eden was only an allegory. There aro 50 things that 1 beliove that you do not believo. And j-et you are an accommodating man. Everybody that knows you says that of you. If I should ask you to do a kindness for me, or if any ono else Bhould ask of you a kindness, you would do it. Now, I havo a kindness to ask of you today. It is something that will cost you nothing and will give mo great delight. I want you by experiment to try tho power of Christ's religion. If I should come to you, and you were very sick, and doctors had given you up and 6aid there was no chance for you, and I should takeout a bottle and say: "Here is a medicine that will cure you It has cured 50 people, and it will cure you, you would say, "I have no confidence in it I would say, "Won't you take it to oblige me?" "Woll," you would say, "if it's any accommodation to you, I'll take it." My friend, will you be just as accommodating in matters of religion? There are some of you who have found out that this world cannot satisfy your soul. You are like the man who told mo one Sabbath after the service was over: "I havo tried this world and found it an insufficient portion. Tell me of something bettor." You have come to that. You are sick for the need of divine medicament.

hour? Hold nothing back from him. If you cannot pray, if you do not know how to pray any other way, say: "O Lord Jesus Christ, this is a strange thing for mo to do. I know nothing about tho formulas of religion. These Christian people have been talking so long about what thou canst do for me I am ready to do whatever thou commandest me to do. I am ready to take whatever thou commandest me to take. If there be any power in religion, as these people say, let mo havo tho advantage of it." Will you try that experiment now? I do not at this point of my discourse say that thero is anything in religion, but I simply say try it, try it. Do not take my counsel or the counsel of any clergyman, if you despise clergymen. Perhaps wo may bo talking professionally perhaps wo may be prejudiced in the matter perhaps wo may be hypocritical in our utterances perhaps our advico is not worth taking. Then take tho counsel of somo very respectable laymen, as John Milton, the poet as William Wilberforce, tho .statesman as Isaac Newton, the astronomer as Robert Boyle, the philosopher as Locke, tho metaphysician. They never pr•.•ached or pretuided to preach, and yvt- putting down, one his telescope, and another his parliamentary scroll, and another his electrician's wire, they all declare tho adaptedness of Christ's religion to tho wants and troubles of the world. If you wili not take the recommendation of ministers of the

gospel,

then take the recom

mendation of highly respectable laymen. O men, skeptical and struck through with unrest, would yon not like to have some of the peacc which broods over our souls today? I know all. about your

doubts. I have been through them all. I have gone through all the curriculum, I havo doubted whether there is a God, whether Christ is God, I have doubted whether tho Bible was true, I have doubted the immortality of tho soul, I I havo doubted my own existence, I have doubted everything, and yet out of that hot desert of doubt I have come into the broad, luxuriant, sunshiny land of gospel hope and peaco and comfort, and so

I havo confidcnco in preaching to you and asking you to come in. However often you may havo spoken against tho Bible, or however much you may have I caricatured religion, step aslioro from that rocking and tumultuous sea. If you go homo today adhering to your infideliI ties, you will not sleep one wink. You do not want your children to como up I with your skepticism. You cannot afford to dio in that midnight darkness, can you? If you do not believe in anything else, you believo in love—a father's I love, a mother's, love, a wife's love, a child's love. Then let me tell you that

God loves you more than them all. Oh, 3'ou must come in. You will como in! Tho great heart of Christ aches to have you como in, and Jtisus this very moment—whether 3*ou sit or stand—looks into your eyes and says, "Other sheep I havo which aro not of this fold."

A Cry For Ilclp.

Again I remark tiiat tho heavenly shepherd is going to find a groat many sheep among those who havo been flung I of evil habit. It makes me sad to see Christian people give up a prodigal as lost. There are thoso who talk as though the grace of God were a chain of 40 or 50 links, and after they had run out there was nothing to touch the depth of a very bad case. If thi^vere hunting and got off the track of tho deer, they would look longer among the brakes and bushes for tho lost game than thej* have been looking for that lost soul. People tell us that if a man have delirium tremens twice he cannot bo reclaimed that after a woman has sacrificed her integrity she cannot be restored. Tho Biblo has distinctly intimated that tho Lord Almighty is ready to pardon 41)0 times— that is, 70 times 7. There aro men be-

lowed in every kind of sin, but saved by tho grace of Josus and washed in his blood they stand there radiant now. Thero are thoso who plunged into the very lowest of all tho hells in New York who havo for the tenth time been lifted up, and finally, by the grace of God, they stand in heaven gloriously rescued by tho grace promised to the chief of sinners. I want to toll you that God loves to take hold of a very bad case. When the church casts you off, and when tho clubroom casts you off, aud when society casts you off, and when business associates cast you off, and when father casts you off, and when mother casts you off, and when everybody casts you off, your first cry for help will bend the eternal God clear down into the ditch of your suffering and I shame.

The Good Templars cannot save you, although they area grand institution. The Sons of Temperance cannot save you, although they are mighty for good. Signing the temperance pledge cannot save you, although I believe in it Nothing but the grace of the eternal God can save you, and that will if you will throw yourself on it. There is a man in this house who said to me: "Unless God helps mo I cannot be delivered. I have tried everything, sir, but now I have got in the habit of prayer, and when I come to a drinking saloon I pray that God will take me safe past, and I pray until I am past He does help me. For every man given to strong drink there are scores of traps set, and when he goes out on business tomorrow he will be in infinite peril, and no one but tho everywhere present God can see that man through. Oh, they talk about the catacombs of Naples, and the catacombs of Rome, and the catacombs of Egypt—the burial places under the city where the duBt of a great multitude lies—but I toll you New York has its catacombs, and Boston its catacombs, and Philadelphia its catucombs. They are the underground restaurants, full of dead men's bones and all uncleanliness. Young man, you know it God help you. There is no need of going into the art gallery to see in the skillful sculpture that wonderful representation of a man and his dons wound around with serpents. There are families represented in this house that are wrapped in tho martyrdom of tang and scale and venom—a living

Lao:oon of ghastliness and horror. What are you to do? I am not speaking into the air. I am talking to hundreds of men who must be saved by Christ's gospel or never saved at all. What aro you going to do?

Help For the Intemperate. Do not put your trust in bromulo of potassium, oi in jamaica ginger, or anything that apothecaries can mix. Put your trust only in the eternal God, and ho will see you through. Some of you do not have temptations every day. It is aperiodic temptation that comes every six weeks, or every three months, when it seems as if the powers of darkness kindle around about your tonguo tho fires of the pit. It is well enough, at such a time, as some of you do, to seek medical counsel, hut.your first and most importunate cry must be to God. If tho fiends will drag you to tho slaughter, make them do it on your knees. God, new that the paroxysm of thirst is coming again upou that man, help liim! Fling back into tho pit of hell tho fiend tha5 assaults his soul this moment. Oh, my heart aches to see men go on in this fearful struggle without Christ.

There are in this house thoso who:-.o hands so tremble from dissipation that they can hardly hold a book, and yet I have to tell you that they will yet preach the gospel, and on communion days carry around consecrated bread, acceptable to everybody, because of their holy life and 1 heir consecrated behavior. I Thy Lord is going to save you. Your homo has got to be rebuilt. Your physical health has got to bo restored. Your worldly business has god to be reconstructed. Tho church of God is going to rejoice over your diseiploship. "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold.

While I havo hope for all prodigals, there are somo people in this house whom I givo up. I mean those who have been churchgoers all their life, who have maintained outward morality, but who, notwithstanding J0, M0, 40 years of Christian advantages, havo never yielded their heart to Christ. They aro gospel hardened. I could call their names now, aud if they would riso up they would riso up in scores. Gospel hardened! A sermon has no more effect upon them than tho shining moon on tho city pavement. As Christ says, "The publicans and harlots will go into tho kingdom of God before them." They havo resisted all the importunity gf divine mercy and havo gone during these 30 years through most powerful earthquakes of religious feoling, and they aro farther awa\' from God tJian over. After awhile they will lio uown sick, and somo day it will be told that they aro dead. No hope!

The Open Fold.

But I turn to outsiders with a hope that thrills through my body and soul. "Other sheep I have which aro not of this fold.'' Yon aro not gospel hardened. You havo nrjt heard or read many sermons during tho last few years. As you camo in today everything was novel, and all. the services are suggestive of your early days. How sweet tho open ing hymn sounded in-j'our ears, and how blessed is this hour! Everything suggestive of heaven. You do not weep, but the shower is not far off. You sigh, and you havo noticed that there is always a sigh in tho wind before the rain falls. Tliero aro those hero who would givo anything if they could find relief in tears. They say: "Oh, my wasted life! Oh, the bitter past! Oh, the graves over which I havo stumbled! Whither shall I fly? Alas for tho future! Everything is dark—so dark, so dark! God help me! God pity me!" Thank the Lord for that last utterance! You have begun to pray, and when a man begins to potition that sets all heaven flying this way, and God steps in and beats back tho hounds of temptation to their kennels, and around about tho poor wound- I ed soul puts the covert of his pardoning mercy. Hark, I hear something—some- I thing fall! What was that? It is the bars of tho fence around the sheepfold. The shepherd lets them down, and the I hunted sheep of the mountain bound in, some of them their fleece torn with the brambles, some of them their feet lame with the dogs, but bounding in. Thank God! "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold.''

Japan's Learned Soldleru.

It appears that notebooks are quite common in the Japanese army among both soldiers and coolies. They keep regular diaries and take copious notes of everything they see. "It is surprising," writes a war correspondent to the China Mail, "what a lot they know about tho great west. Several of then* talk intelligently of SpartauB and Per sians, Napoleon and his inarch to Moscow and even compare the abolition of feudalism in England and Japan. They fully understand all that is implied in the oontest between old fashioned hand to hand warfare and modern long range maneuvers, and they speak scornfully of the Chinese tactics at Ping-Yang in trying cavalry obarges against massed bodies of riflemen without first using their machine guns, as the French at Waterloo did their fieldpieces, to throw the ranks in disorder. All this from the Japanese must be surprising to Europeans, because we do not know them. Their progress is greater and more real than foreigners imagine. "—London News.

To Stop Sparring In Boston. The most notable feature of the last session of the aldermen was the adoption of tho aldormanic rule thnt hereafter suspension of rule 80 can be secured only by a unanimous vote upon a roll call. Rule 30 is, "No license shall be granted for exhibitions of pugilism or wrestling." This means in effect that hereafter no licenses for sparring or wrestling can be secured except by a unanimous vote. The roll must be called, too, which will make the passago of an order or permit all the more difficult Notwithstanding the adoption of this rule no less than 11 petitions for rparring and wrestling permits were received. They were referred to the committee on licenses when appointed.— Boston Advertiser.
