TALMAGFS SERMON. King David’s Thirst During a Battle With the Philistines, '* »» Brfmklai Drantht horn U» Wall of Bethlehem Compared With tie Perpetual Sop Drawn Prom the Wen of the Seeps*. _ -w~ The subject ft s recent sermon bp Rev. T. Do Witt TeTmage at the Brooklyn Tabernacle was “Thirst in a Carara," predicated on the following text: Oh, that oae would give me drlak of the water ot the weH of Bethleheat, which is by the (Ms. —II. Samuel, ixtll, IS. War, always distressing, is especially ruinous in barvasttime. When the ero|ie are all ready (or the sickle, to have the m trodden down by earnlry horses and heavy supply-trains gullying the Helds, le enough to make any man’s heart sink. When the last great war broke oat in Europe, and France and Germany were coining into horrid collision, I rode ocreus their goMea harvests nod saw their tents pitched, and the trenches dug in the very midst of the ripe fields, the long scythe of battle sharpening to mow down harvests of men in great wiarows of the dead. It was at this season of harvest that ike army of the Philistines came doer* open Bethlehem. Hath to the clamor of their voices, the neighing of their chnrgerm the blare of tbeir trumpets, and the clash of their shields I Let David and his man fall back! The Lord’s host sometime* loses the day. But David knaw where to hide. He had been brought up la that country. Boys are in* qnisitlva, and they know ail about the regioa where they were born and brought up. If yod should go back to the old homestead, you coaid, with your eyes shall, And your way to tbs meadow, or the orchard, or tha hill back of the house, with which you were familiar thirty or forty years ago. So David know tha cava at Adnllam. Perhaps, in his boyhood days, be had played “hide-and-seek” With his oomratlse all about the old cave, and though othsrs might not have known it, David, did. Travelers say thare is only ooa way of getting into that cava, and that in by a very narrow path; but David eras stout, and rieady-headed, and steady-e.srrsd, and so, with his three brave staff-of Boers, he goes along that path, finds bin way Into the cave, alts down, looks around at the roof and tha dark passages cf the mountain, feels very weary with the forced march; and water he must have or die. I do not know but there may have been drops trickling down the side of thn csvern, or that there may have been seme water In the goat skin slang to his girdle, but that was not what ha wants*.. He wanted a deep, full, cold drlak, rook ns a man gets only oat of an old well with moss-covered bucket. David remembered that vary near that cave of Adnllam there was such a well as that, a well to which he used to go in boyhood—the trail of Bethlehem; and he almost Imagines that he can hear the liquid plash of Mat well, and his parched toagwe moves through Ms hot tips as ha saye: Oh! that one would giro me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the cate.

It vu no sooner nld than dons. The three breve staff officers bound to their feet end start. Brave soldiers win t ake even a hint Bat between lay the host of the Philistines; anil s kat could three men do with a great army? Yet where there is a will then is a way, and with their rwords slash! ng this way and that, they make their path to the well. While the FhiMstities are amazed at the seeming foolhardiness of these three men, and can not make up their minds exactly what it means, the three men have come to the weiL They drop the backet. They bring up the water. They poor It ha the pail, a»d then start for the earn “Stop them P* ery the Philistines. “Clip them with your swords. Stab them with yoar spoors. Stop those three men!” Too lata, They have got aronud the hill. The hot rocks are splashed with the overflowing eater from the vesael aa it is carried up the dills. The three man go along tlie <laagerous path, and with cheeks flatbed with the excitement, and all out ol breath in their haste, to the side of the cave, and cry oat ts David: “There, captain of! the host, is what yon wanted, a drink ol' the well of Bethlehem, which is by tht gists.” A text is at eo one to me anhies t can Bad Christ in it; and unless I can br ing a gospel oat of these words, that will arouse and comfort and bless, 1 st all wish I had never seen Asm; for year time would be wasted, aad against my sod the dark record would be made that 'this day I stood before agreat audience of sins bag, of no rescue. By the cross of the Sea of God, by the throne of the eternal judgment, that shall not be! Hay the Lord Jeans kelp me to tall yoa the troth today!

Old man, who fifty yams ago didst find the well, bring me sosas of that water. Stranger in a strange land, who used to hear sang among the Highlands of Scotland, to the tune of “Bosnia Doon,” “The Star, the Star of BetJUehem," bring me some of that water. Whosoever driaketh of that eater shall never thirst. Oh, that oae would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which la by the ***** ' ......... ...; Again, this Gospel well, like the one spoken of in the text, is a captured well. David remain bared the time when that good water of Bethlehem was in the possession of his ancestors. His fa ther drank there, his nest her drank there. He remembered how the water tasted when a boy and came op there from play. We sever forget the old wen we used to drink out of when we were toys or girls. There was something in it that blessed, the lips aad refreshed the brow bettor than any thing we have found since. As we think of that dear old well the memories of the past flow iato each other like crystalline drops, snn-glinted. and all the moire ae we remember that the hands that used to lay hold the rope end the hearts that beat against the well-cnrb are still now. We never get over these reminiucence*. George P. Morris, the great song-writer of the country, once said to me that his song, ‘‘Woodmen, Spare That Tree,” was sung in a great concert hall, aad the memories of early life were so wrought upon the audience by that song, that after the singing was done an aged man arose in the audience, overwhelmed with emotion, and said: “Sir, will you please to tell me whether the woodman really spared the tree?” We never forget the tree under which we ployed. We never forget the fountain at which we drank. Alas for the man who his no early memories! David thought of that wail, that boyhood well, and he wanted s drink of it, but he remembered that the Phil iaiiaea had captured it. When those three men tried to cosae ap to the well in behai f of David, they saw swords gleaming around about it. And this is true of this Gospel welt. Tbs Philistines have at times captured it. When we come to take a full, old-fash-ioned drink of pardon aad comfort, do not their swords of indignation and sarcasm flash? Why, the skeptics tell ns that we cait net come to this fountain! They tay tbs water la not fit to drink, any how. “If you aro really thirsty aow, there is the well of philosophy, there fo the well of art,

They say a great many beautiful things about the sou!. and they try to ted onr immortal hignpw on row leuvea, and mix a mint-julep at worldly stimulants, when nothing wilt satiety u« bat it drink of the water of the well ef Bethlehem, whichis by the gate.

That is where Mom ot yon are now. Has the world sliraya gone smoothly with yon? Has it never punned yon with slander! Is your heal th always good! Have yoar fortunes sever perished? Are yoar children all alive and well! Is there one dead lamb in the fold! Are yon ignorant of the way to the cemetery! Have yon ever heard the bell toll when it seemed as if every stroke of the iron (dap per beat your heart! Are tho skies asbright when yon look into them as they used to be when other eyes, now clostH, used to look into them! 5 Is there some trunk or drawer in your house that yon go to only on anniversary days, when there comes beating against your soul the surf of a greaii ocean of agony! Itis the care of Adullsmt Is there some David here whose fatherly heart wayward Absalom has broken! Ill there some Abraham here who is lonely became Sarah is dead in the family-plot ot Maohpoiah! After thirty or! forty years of companionship, how hard it was for them to part! Why not have two neats in i the Herd’s chariot; so Hunt both the old folks might have gone up at once? My aged mother in her last moment said to my father: “Father, wouldn’t it he alee, if we could both go together?” No, not We must part. And there are wounded hearts here to-day. Tho world oan not comfort yon. What can it bring yon! Nothing. Noth tag. Tho salve they try to ipot on your wounds will not stick. They can not, with their bungling surgery, mend tbs broken Zoppar, the Naamatblte, and Hilda d, the Shubite, and Efiphax, the Teinanite, come in and talk and talk sod talk, but miserable comforters are they all. They 1 can not pour light into the cave of Adutlam. They can not bring a single drop «* water from The well of BethleBesa, which is by the gate. But, glory bo to Jesus Christ, there is ecmfhrt at the gate. There is life in the well at the gate.
