RECALLS THE PAST. Dr. Talmage’s Sermon Is Largely Reminiscent •(Dxtwi Helpful Lctions from the Experiences and Vicissitudes of Life—Memories of ' Home.

. ' w i. ■ ■Copyright, 1899, by Louis Klopsch. Washington, May 7. This sermon of Dr. Talmage calls the ♦oil of many stirring memories and interprets the meaning of life’s vicissitudes. The text is Psalms xxxix, 3: ■“While I was musing the fire burned.” Here is David, the psalmist, with the forefinger of his right hand against his "temple and the door shut against the world, engaged in contemplation. And 4t would be well for ns to take the same posture often while we sit down in •■weet solitude to contemplate. In a small island off the coast of Nova ■Scotia I once passed a Sabbath in delightful solitude, for I had resolved that I would have one day of entire quiet before I entered upon autumnal work. I thought to have spent the day in laying •out plans for Christian work, but instead of that it became a day of tender Teminiscence. I reviewed my pastorate;. 1 shook l^ands with an old departed ■friend, whom I shall greet again when the curtains of life are lifted. The days •of my boyhood came back, and I was "ten years of age, and I was eight, and I was five. There was but one house on the island, and yet from Sabbath daybreak, when the bird chant woke me, until the evening melted into the bay *of Fundy, from shore to shore there were ten thousand memories, and the groves were a-hum with voices that had long ago ceased. Youth is apt too much to spend all its time in looking forward. -Old age is apt too much to spend all its time in looking backward. People in midlife and on the apex look both ways. It would be well for us, I think, however, to spend more time in reminiscence. By the constitution of our nature we spend most •of the time looking forward. And the vast majority of people live not so much in the present as in the future. I find that you mean to make a reputation, you mean to establish yourself, and the advantages that you expect to achieve absorb a great deal of your time. But I see no harm in this, if it does not make you discontented with the present or ■disqualify you for existing duties. It is a useful thing sometimes to look back and to see the dangers we have es•caped and to see the sorrows we have suffered and the trials and wanderings

-of our earthly pilgrimage and to sum up our enjoyments. I mean, so far as <3od may help me, to stir up your memory of the past, so that in the review you may be encouraged and humbled and -urged to pray. There is a chapel in Florence with a -fresco by Guido. It was covered up with -two inches of stucco until our American •end European artists went there, and rafter long toil removed the covering and retraced the fresco. And I am aware that the memory of the past, with many -of you, is all covered up with obliterations, and I now propose, so far as the Lord may help me, to take away the •covering, that the old picture may shine «out again. I want to bind in one sheaf mil your past advantages, and I want to bind in another sheaf all your past adversities. It is a precious harvest, and I must be cautious how I swing the mcythe. Among the greatest advantages of ;your past life were an early home and its surroundings. The bad men of the •day, for the most part, dip their heated passions out of the boiling spring of tn unhappy home. We are not surprised to find that Byron's heart was a concentration of sin when we hear his another was abandoned and that she made sport of his infirmity and often •called him “the lame brat.” He who has vicious parents has to fight every inch of his way if he would maintain his integrity and at last reach the home •of the good in Heaven. Perhaps your early home was in a city. It may have been when Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, was residential, as now it is •commercial, and Canal street, New York, was far up town. That old house in the city may have been demolished •or changed into stores, and it seemed like sacrilege to you, for there was more meaning in that small house than '"there is in a granite mansion or a'turreted cathedral. Looking back, you sec? It as though it jrere yesterday—the ^sitting-room, where the loved one sat by the plain lamp light, the mother mt the evening stand, the brothers and misters, perhaps long ago gathered into the skies, then plotting mischief on "the floor or under the table, vour father with a firm voice commanding a •silence that lasted half a minute. Oh, those were good days! If you bad your foot hurt, your mother always had a soothing salve to heal it. If you were wronged in the street, your father was always ready to protect You. The year was one round of frolic mnd mirth. Your greatest trouble was •an April shower, more sunshine than •shower. The heart had not been ransacked by trouble, nor had sickness >ken it, and no lamb had a warmer xeepfold than, the home in which your ildhood nestled. - Perhaps you were brought up in the country. You stand now to-day in memory under the old tree. You clubbed i t -for fruit that was not quite ripe, because you couldn’t wait any longer. You hear the brook rumbling along over 'the pebbles. You step again into the furrow where your father in his shirt •sleeves shouted to the lazy oxen. You frighten the swallows from the rafters of the barn and take just one egg »nd silence your conscience by saying will not miss it. You take a drink tin out of the very bucket that the well fetched up. You go for the at night and find them pushing heads through the bare. Oft times

in the di tsty and busy streets yon wish you wen home again on the cool grass •r the r ig carpeted hall of the farmhouse, t trough which there came the breath c f new mown hay or the blossom of buckwheat. You n ay have in your windows now beautiful plants and dorters brought from ac *oss the seas, but not one of them sti rs in your soul so much charm and met lory as the old ivy and the yellow sunflower that stood sentinel along the garcl en walk and the forget-me-nots playing- hide and seek mid the { long grass. The father who used to come in sunb trned from the field and sit down on the doorsill and wipe the sweat from his brow may have gone to his ever iasting rest. The mother who used to f4t at the door a little bent over, cap and spectacles on, her face mellowing witl: the vicissitudes of many years, may ha e put down her gray head on the pilk w in the valley, but forget that

home yc u never will. Have you thanked God for it? Have you rehearsed all these biased reminiscences? Oh, thank God for a Christian father! Thank God for a Ch ristian mother! Thank God for an earh Christian altar at which you were taught to kneel! Thank God for an earl} Christian home! I bring to mind another passage in the history of your life. The day came when you set up your own household. The days passed along in quiet blessedness. You twain sat at the table morning and night and talked over your plans for the future. The most insigniii cant affairs in your life became the subject of mutual consultation and advisement. You were so happy you felt yon never could be any happier. One day a dark cloud hoveled over your dwelling, and it got darker and darker, but out of that cloud the shining messenger of God descended to incarnate an immortal spirit. Two little feet started on an eternal journey, and you were to lead them, a gem to flash in Heaven' i coronet, and you to polish it. Eternal ages of light and darkness watching the starting out of a newly created creature. You rejoiced and you tremble ! at the responsibility that in your jKissession an immortal treasure was placed. You prayed and rejoiced and wept and wondered. You were earnest in your supplication that you might lead it through life into the kingdom of God. There was a tremor in your earnestness. There was a double interest about that home. There was an additional interest why you should stay there and be faithful, and when in a few months your house was filled with the music of your child’s laughter you were struck through with the fact that you had a stupendous mission.

Have you kept that vow? Have you neglected any of these duties? Is your home as much to you as it used to be? Have those anticipations been gratified? God help you in your solemn reminiscence, and let, His mercy fall upon your soul, if your kindness has been il’ requited. God have mercy on the parent on the wrinkles of whose face is written the story of a child’s sin. God have mercy on the mother who,, in addition to her other pangs, has the pang of a child’s iniquity. Oh, there are many, many sad sounds in this sad world, but the saddest sound that is ever iieard is the breaking of a mother’s heart! I find another point in your life history. You found one day you were in the wrong road; you could not sleep at night; there was just one word that seemed to sob through your banking house or through your office or your shop or your bedroom, and that word was “eternity,” You said: “I'm not ready lor it. Oh, God have mercy!’’The Lord heard. Peace came to your heart. In the breath of the hill and in the waterfall's dash you heard the voice of God’s love; the clouds and the trees hailed you with gladness; you came into the house of God. You remember how your hand tremble^ as you took up the cup of the communion. You remember tho old minister who consecrated it, and yc u remember the church officials who Carried it through the aisle; you remem ber the old people who at the close of the service took your hand in theirs in congratulating sympathy, as much as to say: “Welcome home, you lost prodigal,” and, though those hands be all withered away, that communion Sabbath is resurrected to-day. It is resurrected with all its prayers and songs rad tears and sermons and transfigure ion. Have you kept those vows ? Have you been a backslider? God help you. This day kneel at the foot of mercy and start agfain for Heaven. Start now as you started then. I rouse your soul by that reminiscenee. But I must not spend apy more of my time in going over the advantages of your life. I just put them in one great uheaf, and I call them up in your memory with one loud harvest song, such jis the reapers sing. Praise the Lord, ye blood bought immortals on earth! Praise the Lord, ye crowned spirits! of Heaven! But some of you have not always had a smo >tk life. Some of you are now in the sh adow. Others had their troubles years ago. You are a mere wreck of w hat you once were. I must gather up. the sorrows of your past life. But how shall I do it? You say that is impossible, aa you have had so many troubles and a Iversitiiis. Then I will just take two—the first trouble and the last trouble. As when you are walking along the street and there hast been music in the distance you unconsciously find yourselves keeping step to the music, so, when you started life, your very life was a musical time beat. The idr was full of joy and hilarity. With the bright clear oar you m&de the boat skip. You went on, and life grew brighter, until after awhile suddenly a voice from Heaven said: “Halt!” and quid; as the sunshine you halted, you igrew pale, you confronted your first Borrow. You had no idea that the flush on your child’s eheek was an unhealthy flush Ybu said it cannot be anything jib. Death in slippered feet walked 1 about the cradle. You did not

hear the tread. But after awhile the truth flashed on you. You walked the floor. Oh, if you could, with your strong, stout hand, havtj.wTenched that child from the destroyer! You Went to your room, and you said: “God, sure my child! God, save my child!” The world seemed going out in darkness. You said: “I can’t bear it; I can’t bear |t»” You felt as if you could not put the long lashes over the bright eyes, never to see them again sparkle. If you could have taken that little one in your arms and with it leaped the grave, how gladly you would have done it! II you could let your property go, your houses go, your land and your, storehouse go, how gladly you would have allowed them to depart if you could only have kept that one treasure! But one day there came up a chill blast that swept through the bedroom, and instantly all the lights went out, and there was darkness—thick, murky, impenetrable, shuddering darkness. But God did not leave you there. Mercy spoke. As you took up the bitter cup to put it to your lips God said: “Let it pass,” an«f forthwith, as by the hand ol angels, another cup was put into your hands. It was the cup of God’s consolation. And as you have sometimes lifted the head of a wounded soldier and

poured wine into his lips, so God puts His left arm under your head and with His right hand He pours into your lips the wine of His comfort and His icon* solution, and you looked at the empty cradle and looked at your broken heart, and you looked at the Lord's^ chastisement, and you said: “Even so. Father, for so it seemeth good in Thy sight.** Ah, it was your first trouble. How did you get over it? . God comforted you. You have been a better man ever since. You have been a better woman ever since. In the jar of the closing gate of the sepulcher you heard the flanging of the opening gate of Heaven, and you felt an irresistible drawing Heavenward. You hove been spiritually better ever since that night when the little one for the last time put its arms around your neck and said: “Good night, papa; good night, mamma. Meet me in Heaven.” But I must come to your latest sorrow. What was it? Perhaps it was sickness. The child’s tread on the stair or the tick of the watch on the stand disturbed you. Through the long weary days you counted the figurer in the carpet or the flowers in the wall paper. Oh, the weariness of exhaustion! Oh, the burning pangs! Would God it were morning, would God it were night, was your frequent cry. But you are better, or perhaps even well. Have you thanked God that to-day you can come out in the fresh air; that you are in your place to hear God’s name and to sing God’s praise and to implore God’s help and to ask God’s forgiveness? Bless the Lord who healeth all our diseases and redeemeth our lives from destruction. Perhaps your last sorrow was a financial embarrassment. I congratulate some of you on your lucrative profession or occupation, on ornate apparel, on a commodious residence—everything you put your hands on seems to turn to gold. But there are others of you who are like the ship on which Paul sailed where two seas met, and you are broken by the violence of the waves. By an unadvised indorsement, or by a conjunction of . unforeseen events, or by fire or storm, or a senseless panic, you have been flung headlong, an^ where you once dispensed great charities you now have hard work to win your daily bread. Have you, forgotten to thank God for your days of prosperity and that through your trials some of you have made investments which will continue after the last bank of this world has exploded and the silver and gold are molten in the fires of a burning world ? Have you, amid all your losses and discouragements, forgot that there was bread on your table this morning and that there shall be a shelter for your head from the storm, and there is air for your lungs and blood for your heart and light for your eye and a glad and glorious and triumphant religion for your soul? Perhaps your last trouble was a bereavement.' That heart which in childhood was your refuge, the parental heart, and which has been a source of the quickest sympathy ever since, has suddenly become silent forever. And now sometimes, whenever in sudden annoyance and without deliberation you say: “I will go and tell mother,” the thought flashes on you: *‘I have no mother.” Or the father, with voice less tender, but with heart as loving, watchful of all your ways, exultant over your success without saying much, although the old people do talk it over by themselves, his trembling hand on that staff which you now keep as a family relic, his memory embalmed in grateful hearts—is taken away forever. Or there was your companion in life, sharer of your joys and sorrows, taken, leaving the heart an old ruin, where the ill winds blow over a wild wilderness of desolation, the sands of the desert driving across the place which

once bloomed like the garden of God. And Abraham mourns for Sarah at the cave of Machpelah. As you were moving along your path in life, suddenly, right before you, was an open grave. People looked down, and they saw it was only a few feet deep and a few feet wide, but to you it was a cavern, down which went all your hopes and all your expectations. But cheer up, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Comforter. He is not going to forsake you. Did the Lord take that child out of your arms? Why, He is going to shelter it better than you could. He is going to array it in a white robe and palm branch and have it all ready to greet you at your coming home. Blessed the broken heart that Jesus heals! Blessed thh importunate cry that Jesus compassionates! ? Blessed the weeping eye from which the soft hand of Jesus wipes away the tear! A fast man easily runs through his money -JL A. W. Bulletin, ’

FINDING THEMSELVES RICH, Soldiers In Luaon Amnilng Themselves Dlarging? Up Burled Treasure of Departed Filipinos. Seattle, Wash., May 6.—A member of the regiment writing from the field says the Washington volunteers in the Philippines, notably those of Cos. D, X and X, dug up large sums of money in two towns taken by the Americans. “Pasig and Pateros,” he continues, ‘‘were evidently rich and prosperous towns, for now that they are burned the soldiers, by prospecting arount, the ruins, have found a great deal ot buried money. “The largest sum found in one place was $4,200. One man found $3,000, anseveral sums of $400 and $500 were another $3,000, one $1,200, one $300, and earthed. “One corporal has made three find# of $500, $700 and $800 respectively. “Some of the money is English and Spanish gold, though most is in Mexican silver dollars.” A Double Haug|pg.
