TALMAGE’S SERMON. Marching Homeward to Reoeite the Everlasting Reward. Tt»e Conquest of Solvation—Dividing ihS Spoils of Religious Triumph —The Ashes of Sorrow — The Loved Ones In the Eternal Home. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage took for the subject of a recent sermon at the Brooklyn Tabernacle “Marching Homeward.” His text was: Pursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover aU—I Samuel, xxx, 8 Dr. Talmage said: There is intense excitement In the village of Zifclag. David and his men are bidding bood-bye to their families, and are off for the wars, In that little village of Ziklag the defenseless ones will be safe until the warriors, flushed with victory, come home. But will the defenseless ones be safe? The soft arms of children are around the necks of the bfonxed warriors until they shake themselves free and start, and handkerchiefs and flags are waved and kisses thrown until the armed men vanish beyond the hills. David and his men soon get through with their campaign and start homeward, Every night on their way home, no sooner does the soldier put his head on the knap-sack than In the dream he hears the welcome of the wife and the shout of the child. Oh what long stories they will have to tell their families, of how they dodged the battle-axe! and then will roll np their sleeves and show the half-healed wound. With glad, quick step they march on, David and his men, for they are marching home. Now they come up to the last hill which overlooks Ziklag, and they expect in a moment to see the dwelling-places of their loved ones. They look, and as they look their cheeks turn pale, and their lip quivers, and their hand involuntarily comes down on the hilt of the sword. “Where is Ziklag? Where are our homes?” they cry. Alas! the cnrling smoke above the ruins tells the tragedy. The Amalekites have come down and consumed the village, and carried the mothers and the wives and the children of David and his men into captivity. The swarthy warriors stand for a few moments transfixed with horror. Then their eyes glance to each other, and they burst into uncontrollable weeping, for when a strong warrior weeps the grief is appal - ing. It seems as if the emotion might tear him to pieces. They “wept until they had no more power to weep.” But soon their sorrow turns into rage, and David, swinging his sword high in air, cries: “Fursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them and without fail recover all.” Now the march becomes a “doublequick.” Two hundred of David’s men stop by the brook Besor, faint with fatigue and grief. They can not go a step farther. They are left there. But the other four hundred men under David, with a sort of panther step, march on in sorrow and in rage. They And by the side of the road a half-dead Egyptian, and they resuscitate him and compel him to tell the whole story. He says: “Yonder they went, the captors and the captives,” pointing in the direction. Forward, ye four hundred brave men of Are! Very soon David and his enraged company come upon the Amalekitish host. Yonder they see their own wives and children and mothers, and under Amalekitish guard. Here are the officers of the Amalekitish army holding a banquet. The cups are full, the music is roused, the dance begins. The Amalekitish host cheer, and cheer, and cheer over their victory. But, without note of bugle or warning of trumpet, David and his four hundred men burst upon the scene suddenly, as Robert Bruce hurled his Scotchmen upon the revelers at Bannockburn. David and his men look up, and one glance at their loved ones in captivity and under Amalekitish guard throws them into a very fury of determination, for you know how men will fight when they fight for their wives and children. Ah, there are lightnings in their eye, and every finger Is a spear, and their voice Is like the shout of the whirlwind. Amidst the upset tankards and the costly viands crushed under foot, the wounded Amelekltes lie (their blood mingled with their wine), shrieking for mercy. No sooner do David and his men win the victory than they throw their swords down into the dust—what do they want with swords now?—and the broken families come together amidst a great shout of joy that makes the parting scene in Ziklag seem very insipid in the comparison. The rough old warrior has to use some persuasion before he can get his child to come to him now after so long an absence; but soon the little finger traces the familiar wrinkle across the scarred face. And then the empty tankards are set np, aud they are filled with the best wine from the hills, and David and his men, the husbands, the wives, the brothers, the sisters, drink to the overthrow of the Amelekites and to the rebuilding of Ziklag. Bo, O Lord, let Thine enemies perish!

sow mey are coming nome, usviu aim his men and their fatuities—a long procession. Men.women and children, leaded with jewels and robes and with all hinds of trophies that the Amalekites had gathered up in years of conquest—every thing now in the hands of David and his men. When they come by the brook Besor. the place where staid the men sick and incompetent to travel, the jewels and the robes and all kinds of treasures are divided among the sick as well as among the well. Surely, the lame and exhausted ought to have some of the treasures. Here is a robe for this pale-faced warrior. Here is a pillow for this dying man. Here is a handful of gold for the wasted trumpeter. I really think that these men who fainted by the brook Besor may have endured as much as those men who went into battle. Bom# mean fellows objected to the sick ones having any of the spoils. The objectors said: “These men did not fight,” David, with a magnanimous heart, replies: “As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall hU part be that tarrieth by the stuff.” This subject is practically suggestive to me. Thank God, in these times a man can go off on a journey, and be gone weeks and mouths, and come back and see his house untouched of incendiary, and have his family on the steps to greet him, if by telegram he has foretold the moment of his coming. But there are Amalekltish disasters, and there are Amalekitiah diseases, that sometimes come down upon one’s home, making as devastating work as the day when Ziklag took fire. There are families in my congregation whose homes have been broken up. No battering-ram smote in the door, no iconoclast crumbled the statues, no flames leaped amidst the curtains; but so far as all the joy and merriment that once belonged to that house are concerned, the home has departed. Armed diseases came down upon the quietness of the scene—scarlet fevers, or pleurisies, or consumption, or undefined disorders came and seised upon some members of that family, and carried them .may. Ziklag in ashes.’ And yon go about, sometimes weeping and sometimes enraged, wanting to get back your loved ones as much as David and his men wanted to reconstruct their despoiled Ziklag in ashes! Some of you went off from home. You counted the days of your absence. Every day seemed as long as a week. Oh, how glad you were when the time came for yon to go aboard the steamer or rail oar and start for hornet Yen arrived. You went up

in the night yon pat your hand on the door-bell, and behold 1 it wu wrapped With the signal at bewuvenaeut, and yon found that Amalfkitish Heath, which has devastated a thousand other fioiiseltolds, had blasted yours, You gO abdnt Weeping amidst the desolation of your once happy home, thinking of the bright eyes closed* and the noble Hearts stopped! and the gentle hands folded, and you weep until yon have no more power to weep. ziklag in ashes! A gentleman went to a friend of mine in the City of Washington, and asked that through him he might get a consulship to some foreign port. My friend said to him: “What do yon want to go away from your beautiful home for into a foreign port?” “Oh,” he replied, “my home is gone! My six children are dead! I must get away, sir. can't stand it in this country any longer,” Ziklag In ashes! - Why these long shadows of bereavetaent across this audience? Why is it that in almost every assemblage black k the pre-* dominant color of the apparel!1 Is it be* cause you do not like saffron, or brown, or violet? Oh.no! You say: “The world is not so bright to ns as it once was;” and there is a story of silent voices* and of still feet, and of loved ones gone, and wAen you look over the hills, expecting only beauty and loveliness, you find only devastation and woe, Ziklag in ashes! In Ulster County, N. Y„ the village church was decorated until the fragrance of the flowers was almost bewildering. The maidens of the village had emptied the place of flowers upon one marriage altar. One of their own number was affianced to a minister of Christ, who had come to take her to his home. With hands joined, amidst a congratulatory audience, the vows were taken. In three days from that time one of those who stood at the altar exchanged earth for Heaven. The wedding march broke down into the funeral dirge. There were not enough flowers now for the coffin-lid, because they had all been, taken for the bridal hour. The dead minister of Christ is brought to another village. He had gone our less than a week before in his strength; now he comes home lifeless. The whole church bewailed him. The solemn procession moved around to look upon the still face that once had beamed with messageg of salvation. T-ittle children were lifted up to look at him. And some of those whom he had comforted in days of sorrow, when they passed that silent form made^^place dreadtul with their weeping. JwBher village emptied of its flowers—some of them put in the shape of a cross to symbolise his hope, others put in the shape of a crown to symbolise his triumph. A hundred lights blown out in one strong gust from the open door of a sepulcher. Ziklag in ashes! I preach this sermon to-day because 1 want to rally yon, as David rallied his men, for tho recovery of the loved and the lost. I want not only to win Heaven, but I want all this congregation to go along with me. 1 feel that somehow I have responsibility in your arriving in that great city. I ha ve on other Sabbaths nsed other inducements. I mean to-day, for the sake of variety, hoping to reach your heart, to try another kind of inducement. Do you really want to join the companionship of your loved ones who have gone? Are you las anxious to join them as David and his men were to join their families? Then 1 am here in the name of God to say that you may and to tell vou how.

1 remark, in the first place, if you want to join your loved on* in glory, you must travel the same way they went. No sooner had the half-dead Egyptian been resuscitated than he pointed lihe way the captors and the captives had gone, and David and his men followed after. Bo our Christian friends have gone into another country, and if we want to reach their companionship we must take the same road. They repented; we must repent. They prayed; we must pray. They trusted in Christ; we must trust in Chriist. They lived a religious life; we must live a religious life. They were in some things like ourselves. I know, now that they are gone, there is a halo around their names; but they had their faults. They said and did things they ought never to have said or done. They were] sometimes rebelious, sometimes cast fifiwn. They were far, from being perfect. Bo I suppose that when we have gone some things in ns that are now only tolerable may be almost resplendent. But ias they were like us in deficiencies, we pnght to be like them in taking a supernal Christ to make up for the deficits. Had it not been for Jesus they would have all perished, but Christ confronted them and said: “I am the way,” and they: took it. I have also to say to you that the path that these captives trod was a troubled path, and that David and his men had to go over the same difficult way. While these captives were being taken off, they said: “Oh, we are so tired; we are so sick; we are so hungry!” But the men who had charge of them said: “Stop this crying. Go on!” David and his men also found it a hard way. They had to travel it Onr friends have gone into glory, and it is through much tribulation that we are to enter into the Kingdom. How onr loved ones used to have to struggle! how their old hearts ached! how, sometimes, they had a tussle fur bread! In our childhood we wonder*! why there were so many wrinkles on their faces. We did not know that What were called “crow’s feet” on their faces were the marks of the black raven of trouble. Did yon never hear the old people, seated by the evening stand, talk over their early trials, their hardships, the accidents, the burials, the disappofcitments, the empty flour-barrel when there were so many hungry ones to feed, the sickness almost unto death, where the next dose of morphine decided between ghastly bereavement ana an unbroken home circle. Oh, yes! it wss trouble that whitened their hair. It was trouble that shook the imp in their hands. It was trouble that washed the luster from their eyes with the rain of tears, until they needed spectacles. It was trouble that made the cane a necessity for their journey. Do yon never remember seeing your old mother, sitting, on some rainy day, looking ontl of the window, her elbow on the windowi-sill, her hand to her brow; looking ont|, not seeing the failing shower at all—you well knew she was looking into the distant past—until the apron came up toiher eyes, because the me mory was too much for her?

on the big. an bidden tear, Strading down the farrowed cheek. Told in eloquence rlucere. Told of woe they could not speak. Bat this scene of weeping o’er. Past this scene of toll and pain. They shall feel distress no mere. Newer, never weep again. “Who are these under the altar?” the question was ashed, and the response came: “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and hare washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Our friends went by a pa & of tears into clory. Be not surprised if we have to travel the same *Tf*remark, again, if ers want to win the society of our friends in Heaven, we will not only have to travel a path of faith and a path of tribulation, but we also hare to positively battle for their companionship. David and his test never wanted sharp swords, and invulnerable shields, and thick breastplates so much as they wanted *- « s&r&r” *Af* would have

it their loved ones in captivity tanrleof them into Rattle with tenfold courts® and suergy. They said: “We most win it. Every thing depends upon it. Let eoch roe take a man on point of spear oir sword. We must win it.” And I have tj» left you that, between us and comink into the companionship of our loved ■ mes who are departed, there is an Austeriltz, there is a Gettysburg, there is a Waterloo* War with the world, (W With the flesh, Warwith the devil. We lave either *o couquer our troubles, or >ur troubles Will conquer us. David will sither slay the Anlalebites or the Amaletites will slay David. And yet is not the tort to be taken worth all the pain, all the peril, all the besiegement? Look I who are they on the bright hills of Heaven yonder? rhere they are, those who sat at your own table, the chair now vacant. There they ire, those whom you rocked in infanoy in the cradle, or hushed to sleep In your »rms. There they Me, those in whose life pour life was bound up. There they are, their brow more radiant than ever before fou saw it, their lips waiting for the kiss if heavenly greeting, their cheek roseate with the health of eternal summer, their tiands beckoning you Up the steep, their feet bounding with the mirth of Heaven. The pallor of their last sickness gone [>ut of their face, never more to he rick, never more to cough, never mor$ to limp, never more to be old, neveg more to weep, rhey are watching from those heights to see if through Christ you can take the tort, and whether yon will rush in upon them—victors. They know that upon this battle depends whether you will ever join their society. Dpt strike harder! Charge more bravely! Remember that every inch you gain puts you so much farther on toward that heavenly reunion. If this morning while 1 speak yon coul£ bear the cannonade of a foreign navy, coming through the “Narrows,” which was to despoil our city, and if they really should succeed in carrying our families sway from us, how long would we take before we resolved to go after them? Every weapon, whether fresh from Springfield or old and rusty In the garret, would be brought out; and we would urge on, and, coming in front of the foe, we would look at them, and. then look at our families, and the cry would be: “Victory or Death!” and when the ammunition was gone . we would take the captors on the point of the bayonet or under the breech' of the gun. If you would make such a struggle for the getting tack of your earthly friends, will you not make as much struggle for the gaining of the eternal companionship of your Heavenly friends? Oh, yes! we must loin them. We must sit in their holy society. We must stag with them the song. We must celebrate with them the triumph. Let it never be told on earth or in Heaven that David and his men pushed out with braver hearts for the getting back of their earthly friends for a few years on earth than we to get our departed!

departed Christian friends ''•restive. Why, have you any idea they were dead? They have only moved. If yon should go on the 2d of May to the house where one of your friends lived, and found him gone,^u would not think that he was dead. You would inquire next door where he had moved to. Our departed Christian friends have only taken another house. The secret is that they are richer now than they once were, and can afford a better residence. They once drank out of earthenware; they now drink from the King’s chalice. “Joseph is yet alive,” and Jacob will go up and see him. Living? Are they? Why, if a man live in this damp, dark dungeon of earthly captivity, can he not live whore he breathes the bracing atmosphere of the mountains of Heaven? Oh,' yes; they are living. Do you think that Paul is so near dea d now as he was when he was living in th e Roman dungeon? Do you think that Frederick Robertson, of Brighton, is as near dead now as he was when, year after year, he slept seated on the chair, because he could find ease in no other position? Do you think that Robert Hall is as near dead uow as when, on his couch, he tossed in physical tortures? No, Death gave them the few black drops that cured them. That is all death does to a Christian—cured him. 1 know that what I have said implies that they are living. There is no question about that. The only question this morning is whether you will ever join them. " » But I must not forget those two hundred men who fainted by the brook of Besor. They could not take a step farther. Their feet were sore: their heads ached; their entire nature was exhausted. Besides that they were broken-hearted because their homes were gone. Ziklag in ashes! "~" And yet David, when he comes up to them, divides the spoils among them. He says they shall have some of the jewels, some of the robes, some of the treasures. I look over this audience this morning, and I find at least two hundred who have fainted by the brook Besor—the brook of tears. You feel as if you could not take another step farther, as though you could qevar look np again. t But I am going to imitate David, and divide among you some glorious trophies. Here is a robe: “All things work together for good, to those who love bod.” Wrap yourself in that glorious promise. Here is for your neck a strings of pearls, made out of crystal!*ed tears: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Here is a coronet: “Be thou faithful unto death, and I wjU give thee a crown of life.” O, ye fainting ones by the brook Besor, dip your blistered feet in the running stream of Qod’s mercy. Bathe yonr brow at the wells of salvation. Soothe your wounds with the balsam that exudes from trees of life. God will not utterly cast you off, O broken-hearted man, O broken-hearted woman, tainting by the brook Besor. ^ , A shepherd finds that his musical pipe is bruised. He says: “I can’t get any more music out of this instrument, so I will just break it and I will throw this reed away. Then I will get another reed and I will play music on that.” But God says He will not cast you off because all the music has gone out of your soul. “The bruised reed He will not break." As far as I can tell the diagnosis of yonr . disease you want Divine nursing, and it is promised you: “As one whom his mother comforieth so will I comfort you.” God will see you all the way through, O troubled soul, and when you come down to the Jordan of death you will find it to be as thin a brook as Besor, for Dr. Robinson says that in April Bbsor dries up and there is no brook at all. And in yonr last moment you will be as placid as the Kentucky minister who went up to God, saying, in the dying hour: “Write to my sister Kate, and tell her not to be worried and frightened about the story of the horrors around the deathbed. Tell her there is not a word of truth in it; for I am there now, and Jesus is with me, and I find it a very happy way;. I am nothing bnt a poor, miserable sinner; but I have an Almighty Saviour, and both of His arms are around me.” May God Almighty, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, bring us into the companionship of our loved ones who have already entered the Heavenly land and entered the presence of Christ,whom, not having seen, we love, and «p David shall recover all, “and as His part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall HU part be that tarrieth by the ”
