TALMAGE’S SEEMON. Lesson of King David’s Generosity to Jonathan’s Descendants. Gratitude for Fkvnri an Attribute of Ha* inanity—The Subject of l>avid’« Be. aevolehee Likened to a Sin. Laden Human Soul. _ Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage delivered the following sermon before his Wash* ingtou congregation, basing it upon the test: Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake! • • s-o Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat oontinually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet. — IL Samuel, lx., 1 and IX \Vas there ever anything more ro- ! mantic and chivalrous than the love of I David and Jonathan? At one time j Jonathan was up and David was | down. Now David is up and Jonathan's ; family is down. As you have often beard of two soldiers before going in- | to battle making a covenant that if one is shot the survivor will take charge of the body, the watch, the mementos, and, perhaps of the bereft family of the one that dies, so David and Jonathan had made a covenant, ahd now that Jonathan is dead, David vis inquiring about his family, that he may show kindness unto them for their father Jonathan’s sake. Careful search is made, and a son of Jonathan by the dreadfully homely name of Mephibosheth is

found. His nurse, in his infancy, had let him fall, aud the fall had put both his ankles out of place, and they had never been set. This decrepit, poor piau is brought into the palace of King David. I)a^id looks upon him with melting tenderness, no doubt seeing in his face a resemblance to his old friend, the deceased Jonathan. The whole bearing of KingDavid toward him seems to say: “How glad I am to see you, Mephibosheth. llow you remind me of your father, my old friend and benefactor. I made a bargain \vi\h your father: many years ago, and I am going to keep it with you. What can I do for you, Mephibosheth? I atn resolved what to do: 1 will make you » rich man; I will restore to you the confiscated property of your grandfather Saul, and you shall be a guest of mine lis long as you live, and you shall lie seated at my tabic among the princes.” It was too much for Mephibosheth, and he cried out against it, calling himself a dead dog. “lie still,” says David, “I don’t do tliison yourown account; I do this for your father Jonathan's sake. I can never forget his kindness I remember when I was hounded from place to place how he befriended me. Can I ever forget how he stripped himself of his eourtier apparel and gave it to mo instead of my shepherd’s coat, and how he took off hi-. owt> sword and belt and gave them to me instead of my sling? Oh, 1 ean never forget him. I feel as if 1 couldn’t do enough for j'ou, his son. 1 don't do it for vour sake; I do it for your father Jonathan's sake.” “So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both feet.”

There is so much Gospel m this quaint incident that I am embarrassed to know where to begin. Whom do Mephibosheth, and David, and Jonathan make you think of? Mephibosheth, in the first place, stands for the disabled human soul. Lord Byron describes sin as a charming recklessness, as a gallantrv, as a Don Juan, George Sand describes sin as triumphant in many intricate plots; Gavarni, with his engravers knife, always shows sin as a great jocularity^ but the Bible presents it as a Mephibosheth, lame on both feet. Sin, like the nurse in the context, attempted to carry us. ami let us fall, and we have ] been disabled, and in our whole moral nature, we are decrepit. Someinns haggle about a technicality. They use the words “total depravity,” and some people believe in the doctrine, and some reject it. What do you mean by total depravity? Do you mean that every mail is as bad as he can be? Then I do not believe it either. But do you mean that siu has let us fall, that it has sacrificed, and disabiedv and crippled our entire moral nature, until we can not walk straight, and are lame in -both feet? Then 1 admit your proposition. There is not so much difference in an African jungle, with barking, howling, hissing, fighting quadruped and reptile, and l’aradise with its animals coming before Adam when he patted them and stroked them and gave them names, so that the panther was as tame as the cow, and the condor as tame as the dove, as there is between the human disabled and that soul as God originally constructed it. I do not care what the sentimentalists or the poets say in regard to sin; in the name of God I declare to you to-day that sin is disorganization, disintegration, ghastly disfiguration, hobbling deformity. Your modern theologian tells you that man is a little out of sorts; he sometimes thinks wrong; he sometimes does wrong; indeed, his imture needs a little moral surgery, m outride splint, a slight compress, a little rectification. Religion is a good, thing to have; it might some day come into use. Man is partially wrong, not all wrong, lie is lame in one foot. Bring the salve of divine grace and the ointment and - the paiu extractor, and we will have his one foot cured. Man is only half wrong, not altogether wrong, lu what is man's nature right? In his will? his affections? his judgment? No, There is an old book that says: “The whole head is sick,and the whole Leart faint.” Mephibosheth lame in both feet. Our beiief of the fact that sinhas sacrifiedand deformed our souls increases as we go on in years. When yon started life you thought that man was a little marred by sin. and he was about one-tenth wrong. By the time , you had gone through the early ex- • perienee of your trade or occupation, ' or profession, you believed that man i was about half wrong. By the

time you came to mid-life you belie red that man was threefourths wrong. But within these past few years, since you hare been so lied about and swindled and cheated, you hare come to the conclusion th^Jman is altogether wrong, and now you can say with the prayer book and with the Bible: “There is no health in us.” Now you believe with the prophet: “The heart is deceitful above all things,* and desperately wicked.” Whatever you may have believed before, now you believe that Mephibosheth is lame on both feet. Again, Mephibosheth in the teat stands for the disabled human soul humbled and restored. When this invalid of my text got a command to come to King David’s palace, he trembled. The fact was that the grandfather of Mephibosheth had treated David most shockingly, and now Mephibosheth says to himself: “What does the king want of me? Isn’t it enough that I am lame? Is he going to destroy my life? Is he going to wreak on me the vengeance which he holds toward my grandfather Saul? It’s too bad.” But go to the palace Mephibosheth must, since the king has commanded it. With staff and crutches and helped by his friends, I see Mephibosheth going up the stairs of the palace. 1 hear his staff and crutches rattling on the tessellated floor of the throne room. No sooner have these two persons confronted each other— Mephibosheth and David, the king— than Mephibosheth throws himself flat on his face before the

king, and styles himself a dead dog. In the east when a man styles himself a dog he utters the utmost term of self-abnegation. It is not a terra so strong in this country, where, if a dog has a fair chance, he sometimes shows more nobility of character than some human specimens that we wot of; but the mangy curs of the oriental cities, as I know by my own observation, are utterly detestably. Mephibcsheth gives the utmost terra of self-lothing when he compares himself to a dog, and dead at that. Consider the analogy. When the command is given from the palace of Heaven to the human soul to come, the soul begins to tremble. It says: “What is God going*to do with me now? Is He going to wreak His vengeance upon me?” There is moye than one Mephibosheth trembling now, because God lias summoned him to the palace of Divine grace? What are you trembling about? God has no pleasure in the death of a sinner. lie does not send for you to hurt you. He sends for you to do you good. A Scotch preacher had the following circumstances brought un-> der his observation: There was a poor woman in the parish who was about to be turned out because she could not' pay her rent. One night she heard a loud .knocking at the door, and she made no answer, and hid herself. The rapping continued louder, louder, louder, but she made no answer, and continued to hide herself? She was almost frightened unto death. She said: “That's the officer of the law* come to throw me out of my home.” A few days after a Christian philanthropist met her in the street, and 6aid: “My poor woman, where were you the other uight? 1 came round to

your house to pay your rent. Why didn't you let me in? Were you at home?” “Why,” she replied, “was that you?” “Yes, that was me; I came to pay your rent-” “Why,” she 6aid, “if I had had any idea it was you I would have let you in. I thought it was an officer come to cast me out of my home.” O soul, that lopd knocking at thy gate to-day is not the sheriff come to put you in jail; it is the best friend you ever had come to be your security. You shiver with terror because _you think it is wrath. It is mercy. Why, then, tremble before the King of Heaven and earth calls you to His palace? Stop trembling and start right away. “Oh,” you say, “I can't start. I hare been so lamed by sin, and so lamed by evil habit, I can't start. 1 am lame in both feet.” My friend, we come out with our prayers and sympathies to help you up to the palace. If you want to get to the palace j-ou may get there. Start now. The Holy Spirit will help you. All you have to do is just throw yourself on your face at the feet of the King, as Mephibosheth did. And agaiu: Mephibosheth in my text stands for the disabled human soul saved for the sake.of auother. Mephibosheth would never have got into the palace on his own account. W hy. did David run stick the realm" to find that poor man, and then bestow upon him a great fortune, and command a farmer by the name of SZiba to culture the estate and give to this invalid Mephibosheth half -the proceeds every year? Why did King David make such a mighty stir about a poor fellow who wpuld never be of any use to the throne of Israel? It was for Jonathan's sake. It was what Robert Burns calls for “auld lang syne.”* David could not forget what Jonathan had done for him in other days. Three times this chapter has it that all this kindness 'on the part of David to Mephibosheth was for his father Jonathan's sake!. The daughter of Peter Martyr, through the vice of her husbann, came down to penury, and the senate of Zurich took care of her for her father's sake. Sometimes a person has applied to you fo^ help, and you have refused him; but wheu you found he was the son or brother of some one who had beeu your benefactor in former days, and by a glance you saw the resemblance of your old friend in the face of the applicant, you relented, aud you said: “Oh. I will do this for your father’s sake.” You know by yuur experience what my text means, >'ow, my friends, it is on that principle that you and I are to get into the King's palace. iThe most important part of every prayer is the last three or four words of it—“For Christ’s sake.” Do not rattle off those words as though they were merely the finishing stroke of the prayer. They ape the most important part of the prayer. W hen in earnestness you go before God and say, “For Christ's sake,” it rolls in, as it were, upon God's mind all the memories of Bethlehem and Gennesarjt and

Golgotha. When yon say before God, “For Christ’s sake,” yon hold before God’s mind every groan, every tear, every crimson drop oll His only begotten Son. If there is anything in all the universe that will move God to an act of royal benefaction it is to say, “For Christ’s sake.” God is omnipotent, but Be is not strong enough to resist that cry, “For Christ’s sake.” If a little child should kneel behind God’s, throne and should say, I “For Christ's sake,” the great Jehovah would turn around on His throne . to look at her and listen. No grayer ever gets to Heaven but for Christ’s sake. No; soul is ever comforted but. for Christ’s sake. The world will never be redeemed but for Christ’s sake. Our name, however, illustrious it may be among men, before God stands only for inconsis tency and sin; but there is a name, a potent name, a blessed name, a glorious name, an everlasting name, that we may put upon our lips as a sacrament and .upon our forehead as a crown, and tnat is the name of Jesus, our divine Jonathan, who stripped Himself of His robe and put on our rags, and gave us His. sword and took our broker, reed. Again: Mephihosheth in my text stands for the disabled human soul lifted to the King's table. It was more difficult in those times even than it is now for common men to get into a royal dining room. The subjects might have come around the rail of the palace and might have seen the lights kindled,and might have heard the clash of the knives and the rattle of the golden goblets, but not get in. Stout men

with stout feet could not get in all their lives to one banquet, y» t poor Mephibosheth goes in, lives there, and is every day at the table. Oh, vhat a getting up in the world it was for poor Mephibosheth!. Well, though you and 1 may be woefully; lamed with in, for' our divine Jonathan's sake, I hope we will all get in to dine with the King. Before dining we must be introduced. If you arte invited to ja comoianv of persons where there ire disAnguished people present, you are introduced: “This is the senator.;’ This is the governor,”! “This is the president.” Before we sit down at the King's table in Heaven I think ve will want to be introduced. Oh, what a time that will be, when you arid I, by graee of God, get into l:leaven, and are introduced to the mighty spirits there, and some one will say: “This is Joshua.” “This is Paul. ” “This is Moses.” “This is John Knox.!’ “This is John Milton.' ther.'V-“This i “This is Martin LuGeorge Wliitefield.” Oh, shall we have any strength left after such a round of celestial introduction? Yea! We shall be potentates ourselves. Theh we shall sit down at the King's table with th'e sons and daughters of God, apd one will whimper' across the table to as ^ and say: “Behold what manner of love the Father hr.th bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God!” and someone at the table will say: “How long will it last? All other banquets at which I sat ended. How long will this last?” and Paul will answer “Forevor!" and Joshua will say? “Forever!" a ld^Iohn Knox will say “Forever!” am<oeorge Whitefiekl will say “Forev^/;' And the wine at that banquet will be old wine; it will be very old wine; it will be the.oldest wine of Heaven; it will be the wine'that was trodden out from the red clusters on the day when Jesus trot! the wine press alone. Wine already more than eighteen centuries old. And no one will deride us as to what we were tn this world. !No one will bring .• up our imperfections here, our sins here. All our earthly imperfections completely covered up and hidden. Mephibosbeth’s feet under the table. Kingly fare. Kingly vesture. Kingly companionship. We shall reign forever and eter. I think that bunquet will mean more to those who had it hard in this world than to who had it easy. That banthose quet than to anyone had been poor despised, and reman who in this better appreciate to Mephibosheth. else, because 4he and crippled, and jected. And that world is blind will the light of Heaven thau we who in this world had good eyesight. And that man who in this world was deaf will bet:er appreqiateathe music of Heaven than we who in this world had good hearing. And those will have a higher appreciation of the easy locomotion of that laind who. in this world were1 Mephibosheths. O my soul, what a magnificent Gospel! It takes a man so low down and raises him so high. What a Gospel. Come now, who wants to be banqueted and empalaced? A-s when Wilberforce was try ng to get the “emancipation bill” through the British parliament, and all the British isles were anxious to hear of the passage of the “emanc ipation bill,” when a vessel was coming into port and the captain of the vessel knew that the people were so anxious to get the tidings, he stepped out on the prow of the ship and shonted to the people, long before he got up to the dock: ‘^FreeP’ and they cried it, and they shouted it. and they sang it al^ through the land. Free, free!” So to-day I woulk like to sound in David’s palace meant more

the news of your present and you* j eternal emancipation until the angels i of God hovering in the air. and watch- | men on the battlements, and bell men j in the town cry it. shont it, sing it, j ring it: Free! free!” I come out now j as the messenger of the .palace to in- 1 rite Mephibosheth to come un. 1 am j here to-day to tell you that God has a j wealth of kindness to bestow npon j you for His Son’s sake. The doors oi j j the ’palace are open to receive yon. ' The cupbearers have already put the \ ! chalices on the table, aud the great, l loving, tender, sympathetic heart of ! God bends over you this moment, say -j 1 ing: **!• there any that is yet left of s i the house of Saul, that 1 may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” Nearer the Light. We are nearer the light in proper- j t tion as our religion has made us more < [ and more lovely, more and more bean- ] i tiful, more and more tender, more ' true and more, ~«fe to deal with.

I ••OLD STATE OF PIKE." Vli« Home of the Stork Brothers' Kw> series—One of the Biggest Institution* In the World—Its Trod* Extends to Kesri; Every Civilised Motion on Eulh. St Louts Republic, January 7, One of the largest institutions in this Stats b the Stark Bro’s Nurseries and Orchards company at Louisiana, Mo., and Rockgort, I1L The trade of the firm extends not only throughout the United States, Canada, Germany, France. Italy. Hungary and other foreign countries, but it has a number of customers both in New Zealand and Australia. Eighty years ago there came from Kentucky to Pike county the late Judge Stark, then a young man fresh from Old Hickory’s New Orleans campaign. He started the nursery and planted the first grafted orchard in the state, having brought the scions on horseback from Kentucky. Hie business has descended from father to son, and is now conducted by the third Seneration, assisted by the fourth. This cm has'more than 1,000 traveling solicitors, and employs more people in its offices than would be necessary to run a large manufacturing concern. The extensive packinghouses of the company are adjacent to the city, connected with the railroad by special tracks. From these packing-houses hundreds of carloads of trees are shipped annually. The nursery grounds embrace a number of farms convenient to the city, and even extend to Rockport, Ills., where there is a plant of several million trees. The peculiarity of the concern is the establishment of large orchards. These orchardSJln 24 states aggregate nearly 30, 000 acres, and more than 3,500.000 trees on the partnership plan. The firm is also interested in about as many more trees on the co-operative arrangement. Louisiana firms have more traveling men upon the road for them than any other city of the world of its sixe. This, of course, is largely due to the large number of meu employed by’the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who furnish their men the most complete, up-to-date outfit ever issued. They are increasing their force of salesmen daily, and room foi more.

Pitt’s Sarcasm. In 1805 Pitt called a meeting1 of the British miiitia colonels to consider his additional force bjll. Some objected to the clause which called them out STer all circumstances, and argued t this* should not be “except in case ctual invasion.” “Then,” said Pitt, “it would be too late.** Presently they came to another clause, when the same objectors insisted on the militia not being liable to be sent out of the “king dom. “Except, I suppose,” said Pitt, with cruel sarcasm, “in case of actual invasion."—Chicago Chronicle.

How Old are You? You need not answer the question, madam, for in your case age is not counted by years. It will always be true that “a woman is as old as she looks." Nothing sets the seal of age bo deeply upon woman’s beauty as gray hair. It is natural, therefore, that every woman is anxious to preserve her hair in all its original abundance and beauty; or, that being denied the crowning gift of beautiful hair, she longs to possess it. Nothing is'easier than to attain to this gift or to preserve it, if already possessed. c Ayer’s Hair Vigor restores gray or faded hair to its original color. It does this by simply aiding nature, by supplying the nutrition necessary to health and growth. There is no better preparation for the hair fhan « . • • AYER’S HAIR VIGOR.
