STRAY SHEEP WHICH THE 5HEPPERDS ARE GXTHERING.

Rev. Dr. Talmage prlached in Brooklyn and Now York Sunday as follows: Text, John X., 16. He said:

There is no monopoly in religion. The grace of God is not a nice little property fenced off all for ourselves. It is not a king's park, at which we look through a barred gateway, wishing we might go in and pluck the flowers and look at the deer and the statuary. It is a fathers orchard. and thera are b:u-3 to let down, and gates to swing open.

Have you any idea that, because you were baptized at 8 months of age, and because you have all your life been surrounded by hallowed influences, you have a right to one whole side of the Lord's table, spreading yourself out so nobody else can get there? You will have to haul in your elbows, for there will come a great multitude to sit at the table, and on both sides of you. You ore not going to have this monopoly of religion,

McDonald, the Scotchman, has on the Scotch hills a great flock of sheep. McDonald has •i.OOO or 5.000 head of sheep. Some are browsing in the heather, some are on the hills, some are iu the valleys, a few are in the yard. One day Cameron comes over to McDonald and says: ''McDonal, you have thirty sheep I have been counting them." "Oh. no!" says McDonald, *'I have 4,000 or 5,000." "Ah!" says Cameron, "you are mistaken I have just counted them there are thirty." "Why," says McDonald, "do you suppose that is all the sheep I have? I have sheep on the distant hills and in the valleys, ranging and roaming everywhere. Other sheep have I which are not of this fold."

So Christ comes. "Here is a group of Christians, and there is a group of Christians here is. a Methodist fold, here is a Presbyterian fold, here is a Baptist fold, here is a Lutheran fold, and we make our ans nual statistics, and we think we can tell you just how many Christians there are in the world how many there are in the church, how many of all these denominations. We aggregate them, and we think we are giving an intelligent and an accurate account but Christ comes, and He says, "You have not counted them right There are those whom you have never eeen, thoso of whom you have never heard. I have my children in all parts of the earth, on all the islands of the sea, on all the continents, in all the mountains and in all the valleys. Do you think that these few sheep that you have counted are all the sheep I have? There is a great multitude that no one can number. Other sheep have I which are not of this fold."

Christ, in ray text, talks of the conversion of the Gentiles as confidently as though they had already been converted. He sets forth the idea that His people will come from all parts of the earth, from all ages, from all circumstances, from all conditions.

In the first place, I remark, tho Heavenly Shephered will And many of his pheep among those who are at present non-church-goers. There are different kinds of churches. Sometimes you will find a church made up only of Christians. Everything seems finished. The church reminds you of thoso skeleton plants from which by chomical preparation all the greenness and the verdure have been taken, and they are cold and white and delicate and beautiful and finished. All that is wanted is a glass case put over them. The minister on the Sabbath has only to take an ostrich feather and brush off the dust that has accumulated In the last six days of business, and then they are as cold and delicate and beautiful as before. Everything is finished: finished sermons, finished music, finished architecture, finished everything.

Another church is lika an armory, tho sound of drum and fife calling more recruits to the Lord's army. We say to the applicants, 'Come in and get your equipment. Here is the bath in which you are to be cleansed, here is the helmet you are to put on your head, here are the sandals you are to put on your feet, here is tho broastplate you are to put over your heart, here is the sword you are to take in your right hand and fight His battle with. Quit yourselves like men."

There ar6 those here, perhaps, who say, "It is now ten, fifteen years since I was in the habit, the regular habit, of church-going," I know all about your case. I am going to tell you something that will be startling at the first, and that is that you are going to become the Lord's sheep. "Oh," you say, "that is impossible you don't know how far I am from anything of that kind." I know all about your case. I have been up and down the world. I know why some of you do not attend upon Christian services. I go further, and make another announcement in regard to you, and that is, you are not only to become the Lord's sheep, but you are going to become the Lord's sheep this hour. God is going to call you graciously by His Spirit you are going to come into the fold of Christ. This sermon shall not be so much for those who aro Christians. I have preached to them hundreds and thousands of times. The sermon that I preach now is going to be chiefly for those who consider themselves outsiders, but who may happen to be in the house and the chief employment of the Christian people here to-day will be to pray for those who are not accustomed to attend upon Christian sanctuaries,

There are men now in the breakers. •They have made a ship'vrock of life. I While wt? come out to sa*e them some jure swept off before we can reach -Mp, and there are other* still hang

ing o3 Steady there among the slip- ty tume8 Why, pery places! Leap into the life boat! tituqe before th Now is your chance for heaven! This plunjgod into a hour some of you are going to be'"11" saved. Far. away from God, you are going to be brought uigh.

You are now, this hour, in the tide of Christian influences. You are going to be swept in your voice is going to be heard in prayer you are going to be consecrated to God: you aro going to live life of usefulness, and your deathbed is going to be surrounde'd by Christian sympathizers, and devout men will carry you to your burial when your work is done, and these words be chiseled for your epitaph. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." And all that history is going to begin to-day.

Again I remark, the heavenly shepherd is going to find many of his sheep among those who are now rejectors of Christianity. I do not know how you came to reject Christianity. I do not know whether it was through hearing Theodore Parker preach, or whether it was reading "Kenan's Life of Jesus," or whether it was through some skep«, tic in the factory or store or it may be, and probably is the ca^e, that you were disgusted with religion and disgusted with Christianity because some man who professed, to be a Christian defrauded you, and ho being a member of the church, and you taking him as a representative of the Christian religion, you said: "Well if that's religion I don't want any of it."

I do not know how you came to reject Christianity, but you frankly tell me you do reject it you do not think the Biole is the word cf God. although there are many things in it you admire you do not "think that Christ was a divine being, although you think He was a very good man. You say if the Bible be true, or most of it be true. you nevertheless" think the earlier part of the Bible is an allegory. And there are fifty things that I believe that you do not believe. Nevertheless they tell me in regard to you that are an accommodating, an obliging person. If I should come to you and ask of you a favor you would grant it if it were possible. It would 4e a joy for you to grant me a favor. Should any o? your friends come to you and wanted an accommodation, and you could accommodate them, how glad yeu would be.

Now I am going to ask of you a favor, and want you to accommodate me. The accommodation will cost you nothing, and will give great happiness. Of course you will not deny

I want you as an experiment to

try the Christian religion. If it does not stand the test, discard it if it does, receive it.

Now will you not try this solace, this febrifuge, this annodyne, this gospel medicine? "Oh' you say, "I haven't any faith in it." As a matter of accommodation, let me introduce you to the Lord Jesus Christ, the great Physician. "Why," ''I faith in Him." Well, now, will you not just let Him try His power on your soul? Just let me introduce him to you. I do not ask you to take my word for it. I do not ask you take tho advice of clergymen, Perhaps the clergymen may bo prejudiced: perhaps we may be speaking piofessionally: perhaps we may give wrong advice, perhaps we are morbid on that subject. So I do not ask you

tit

You believe in love. A father's love, a mother's love, a wife's love, a chiid's love. Now let me tell you God loves you more than all of them together and you must come in, you will come in. Chist looks in all tenderness, with the infinite tenderness of the gospel, into your soul, and he says: "This is your time for heaven:" and then Ho waves His hand to the people of God, and He says: "Other sheep have I which are not of this fold."

Again I remark, the Heavenly Shepherd is going to got many of his sheep* among those who have been flung of evil habit.

It outrages me to see how soon Christian people give up the prodical. I hear Christian talk as they thought the grace of God was a chain of forty or fifty links, and when they had run out then there was nothing to touch the depth of a man's iniquity. If a man were out hunting for deer and got off the traclc of the deer, he would hunt amid the bushes and the brakes longer for the lost game than he will look for a lost soul.

They say If a man had the delirium tremens twice ho can not be be cured. They say if a woman had fallen from integrity she can not be redeemed. All of which is an infinite slander on the Gospel of the. Son of God. Men who say that know nothing about practical religion in their own hearts. How many times will God take back a man who has fallenP Well I can not give you the exact figures, but I can tell you at what point He certainly' will take him back. Four hundred and ninety times. Why do I say 4U0 times? Because tho Bible says seventy times seven. Now, figure that out, you who do not think a man can fall, four times, eight times, ten timesj enty times. times, 400 times anc be saved, •'our&wtlrQtl- and ninig

These men never preached—but they come out, and putting down, one his telescope, and another the electrician's wire, and another the Parlimentary scroll—they come out. and they commend Christ as a comfort to all the people, a Christ that the world needs.
