HeWitt Tulmiigc for u bcrmon Intolv deliv ered ut llrooklyn, the text 'selected being Psalms, lvi. 8: "Put Thou my tears into Thy bottle." Dr. Tulmago said: Ilnrdly a mail has eomo to me for twenty years that has not contained letters haying that my sermons have comforted the writers of thoso letters. 1 have not this summer nor for twenty years spoken on tho platform of any out-door meeting, but coming down! have been told by hundreds of people tho samc'thlng. So I think I will keep on trying to be a "son of consolation." Tlio prayer of my text was pressed out of David's soul by Innumerable ca lamities, but It in Just as appropriate for the distressed of all ages. Within tho past century travelers and anti quarians have explored tho ruins of many of tho ancient cities, and from tho very heart uf thoso buried splen dors of the other days have brought up evidences of customs that long ago vanished from tho world. From among tombs of thoso ages huve been brought up lachrymatories, or lachrymals, which are vials made of earthenware. It was the custom of the undents to catch tho tears that they wept over their dead in a bottle, and to place that bottle lit the graves of the departed; and we have many specimens of the an cient lachrymatories, or tear-bottle, In our museums. When on the way from the Holy Land our ship touched at Cyprus, wo went back Into tho hills of that island and bought tear-bottles which tho na tives had dug out of the ruins of th old city. There Is nothing more sug gestive to mo than the tear-bottles which I brought homo and put among my curiosities. That was this kind of bottle that my text alludes to when David cries, "I'ut Thou my tears Into Thy bottle." The text intimates that Cod has an intimate acquaintance nnd perpetual remembrance of all our griefs, and a vial, or lachrymatory, or bottle, In which he catches und saves our tears; and I bring to you the condolence of this Christian sentiment. Why talk about grief? Alas! the world has its pangs, and now, while we speak, thcro aro thick darknesses of soul that need to be lifted. There are many who are about to break under the assault of "into4"" nj,pcru!)ncC f j10 words appropriate to tin.. .,,, 0 u. tercd, they perish. I eomo i no fool's errand. I'ut upon your wounds no salvo compounded by human quackery, but, pressing straight to tho mark, I hall you as a vessel mld-sca cries to a passing craft, "Ship uhoyl" and Invito you on board a vessel which has faith for a rudder, and prayer for sails, and Christ for captain, and Heaven for an eternal harbor. Catherine Uhelnfcldt, a Prus sian, keeps n boat with which she res cues the drowning. When a storm comes on the coast, and other peoplo go to their beds to rest, she puts out iu her boat for the relief of tho distressed and hundreds of tho drowning has she brought safely to the beach. Iu this life-boat of tho gospol 1 put out to-day, hoping, by God's help, to bring ashore at least one soul that may bo now sink ing in tho billows of temptation and trouble.' Tho tears that wero once caught in the lachrymatories brought up from Hcreulaneum and Pompeii nro all gone, and the bottle is as dry as tho scoria of the volcano that submerged them; but not so with the bottle in which God gathers all our tears. First, I remark that Ood keeps per petually tho tears of repentance. Many u man lias awakened in the morning so wrotched from the night's debauch that he has sobbed and wept, l'alns in the head, aching in the eyes, bick at heart and unlit to step into tho light He grieves, not about his misdoing, but only about its consequences, (iod makes no record of such weeping. Of all the million tears that have gushed ns tho result of such misdemeanor, not one ever got Into God's bottle. They dried on tho fevered cheek, or were dashed down by tho bloated hand, or fell into the red wine cup ns It came again to tho Hi, foaming with still worse intoxication. Hut when a man Is sorry for his past and tries to do bet terwhen he mourns his wasted ad vantages and bemoans his rejection of God's mercy, nnd cries amid tho lacera tions of an aroused conscience for help out of his terrible predicament, then God listens; then Heaven fows down; then scepters of pardon aro extended from tho throne; then his crying rends thts heart of heavenly compassion; then his tears aro caught In God's bottle. Vou know flie story of paradtso and tho Peri. I think it might bo put to higher adaptation. An nngel starts from the throne of God to find what tiling it can on tho earth worthy of be ing carried back to Heaven. It goes down through tho gold nnd silver mines of earth, but finds nothing worthy of transportation to tlio Celev tlnl City. It goes down through the depths of the sen, where the pearls lie, and finds nothing worthy of taking back to Heaven. Hut coming to the foot of a mountain it sees a wanderer weeping over his evil ways. The tears of the prodigal start, but do not fall to tho ground, for the angel's wing catches them, and with that treasure speeds back to Heaven. God sees the angel coming, nnd says; "Heboid tho brightest gem of earth, and the bright est jewel of Heaven tho tears of u slu ner's repentance." Ohl when I see tho Heavenly Shep herd bringing a lamb from tho wilder ness; when I hear tho quick tread of the prodigal hastening home to find his father; when I seo a sailor-boy coming on tho whnrf, and hurrying nwny to beg bis mother's pardon for loog neglect aud unkiiuluuss; when I seo tho homeless coming to Ood for shelter, nnd the wretched and the vile, and tho sin-burned, and the passion blasted appealing for mercy to a com passionato God, I exclaim In ecstasy and triumph: "More tears for God's bottlcl" Again: God keeps a tender remem brance of all your sicknesses. How many of you aro thoroughly sound lit body? Not one out of ten! I do not exaggerate. The vast majority of tho race are constant subjects of ailments. There Is some one form of disease that you ore particularly subject to. You have a weak side, or back, or arc sub ject to headaches, or falutnesses, or lungs easily distressed. It would not take a very strong blow to shiver tho golden bowl of life, or break the pitcher at the fountain. Many of you hnvo kept on in llfi through sheer force of will. You think no one can under stand your distresses. lVrhups you look strong, and ll Is supposed that you nro a hypochondriac. They say that you are nervous as if that were noth ing! God have mercy upon any man or woman that is nervous! At times you sit alone In your room. Friends do not come. You feel an Indescribable lone liness In your sufferings; but God knows, Ood feels, Ood eompasslonntes. He counts the sleepless nights; He re gards the aeuteness of the pain; He es timates the hardness of the breathing. While you pour out tho medicine front tho bottle, and count tho drops, God counts all your falling tears. As you look nt the vials, filled with nauseous draughts, aud at the bottles of tho dis tasteful tonic thnt stand on tho shelf, remember that there Is a larger bottle than these, which Is filled with no mix ture by oorthly apothecaries, but It is God's bottle, In which He hath gath ered all our tears. Again: God remembers nil tho sor rows of poverty.- Thore Is much want that never conies ta Inspection. The deacons of the church never see It. Tlio comptrollers of almshouses never re port It. It comes not to church, for It has no appropriate apparel. It makes no appeal for help, but chooses rather to suffer than expose Its bitterness. Fathers who fall to gain a livelihood, so that they und their children submit to constant privation; sewing women, who cannot pby the needle quick enough to earn them shelter and bread. Hut whether reported or uncomplaining, whether In seemingly comfortable par lor, or iu dump cellar, or in hot garret, God's angels of mercy are on the watch. This moment those gifts are being col lected. Down on the back streets, In nil tho alleys, nmld shanties and log cabins, the work goes on. Tears of want, seething in summer's heat, or freezing in winter's cold they fall not unheeded. They are jewels for I leaven's casket They arc pledges of divine sympathy. They aro tears for (Jod's bottle. "uln: Tho. Lord, -erv " .--menu..- or an paternal nnxlties You bee n man from the most Infamous surroundings step out into the kingdom of God. He bus heard no sermon. He has received no startling providential warning. What brought him to this new mind? This is the secret (Sod looked over tho bottle In which he gathers the tears of bis people, and ho saw a parental tear In that bottlo which has been for forty years unan swered. He said: "Go to, now, and let me answer that tear!" and forth with the wanderer is brought homo to God. Oh, this work of training chil dren for (Jod! It is a tremendous work. Some people think it easy. They have never tried it A child Is placed in the arms of the young parent It is a beau tiful plaything. You look Into tho laughing eyes. You examine tho dim ples In the feet You wonder nt its ex quisite organism. Heautiful plaything! Hut on somo nightfall, as you sit rock; Ing that little ono, a voice seems to fall straight from the throne of (Jod, say ing: "That child is immortnl! Tho stars shall die, but that is an immortal! .Suns shall grow old with ago nnd per ish, but that Is an immortal!" Now, I know with many of you this is the chief anxiety. You earnestly wish your children to grow up rightly, but you find it hard work to make them do as you wish. You check their temper. You correct their wayward ness; in tho midnight your pillow Is wet with weeping. You have wrestled with God in agony for tho salvation of your children. You ask me If all that anxiety has been Ineffectual. I answer, no. God understands your heart He understands how hnrd you have tried to make that daughter do right, though she is so very petulant nnd reckless; nnd what pains you have bestowed In teaching that son to walk in the path of uprightness, though he has such strong proclivities for dissipation. I speak a cheering word. Ood heard i every counsel you ever offered him. God tins Known an uio biuupiusb nigius you liavo ever passed. (Jod has seen every sinking of your distressed spirit God remembers your prayers. Ho keeps eternal record of your anxieties; und In His InchrymUtory, not such as stood In ancient tomb, but iu ono that glows and glitters beside the throne of (Jod, He holds all those exhutibting tears. Tho grass may be rank upon your renvements are home troubles nd there Is no escape front them. You will sco that vacant chair. Your eye will catch at tho t.uggestlve ptcturq. You cannot fly tho presence of suoh Ills. You go to Switzerland to got clear of them, but moro sure-footed than tho mulo that tnkes you up the Alps, your troubles climb to the tip-top und sit shivering on the glaciers. You may cross the soas, but they oan outsail tho swiftest steamer. You niny take caravan, nnd put out across the Arablau desert, but they follow you like a simoon, armed with suffocation. You plunge Into the Mammoth cave, but they hang like stalactites from the roof of the great cavern. They stand benlud with skele ton fingers to push you ahead. They stand before you to throw you back. They run upon you like reckless hoi so men. They charge upon you with gleaming spear. They seem to come haphazard, scattering shots front the gun of a cureless sporUman. Hut not so. It Is good aim that scuds thorn just tight; for God is the archer. This sum mer many of you will especially feel your grief as yon go to places where onco you wero accompanied by thoso who are gone now. Your troubles will follow you to tho senshorc, and will keep up with the lightning express In which you speed away. Or, tarrying tit home, they will sit beside you by day, and whisper ovor your pillow night nfter night I want to assure you that you nro not left alone, and that your weeping Is heard in Heaven. You will wander among tho hills and say: "Up this hill, last year, our boy climbed with great gloe, and waved bis cap from the top;" or, "this is the place where our little girl put llowers in her hair, and looked up in her mother's face," until every drop of blood in your heart tingled with gladness, and you thanked God with a thrill of rapture; and you look around as much ns to say: "Who dashed out that light? Who filled this cup with gall'.' What blast froze up these fount ains of the heart?" Homo of you have lost your parents within the last twelve months. Their prayers for you are ended. You take up their picture, und try to call back tho kindness that once looked out from thoso old, wrinkled faces, and spoke In tuch a tremulous voice; und you say it U u good picture; but till tho while you feel that, after all, it does not do justice; und you would give al most anything you would cross tho sea, you would walk tho earth ovor to hear just one word from those lips thnt a few mouths ago used to call you by your first name, though so long you yourself have been a purent Now, you have douo your best with your grief. You smile when you do not fcol like It Hut though you may deceive the world, God knows. He looks dowu upon the empty crndlo,iiuou the desolate nursery, uion the stricken home, and upon the """"- '"- .-.". Whl. u th- wav 1 tltrash tno witeatjtiiiKT. me-wu I scour mv lowels! Cnbt thy bitrdeu upon my arm and I will sustain you. All those tears I have gathered Into My bottle." Hut what Is the use of having so many tears In God's lachrymatory? In that great caskot or vase, why does God preserve all your troubles? Through all the ages of oternlty, what use of n great collection of tears? I do not know that they will bo kept thcro forever. I do not know but that in some distant age of Heaven an ungel of God may look Into the bottle and find It an empty of tears as the lachrymals of earthenware dug up from tho ancient city. Where have the tears gone to? What sprite of hell hath been invading Ood's palace, and hath robbed the lachrymatories? None. These ure sanctified sorrows, aud thoso tears wero changed into pearls that aro now sot In tho crowns and robes of tho ransomed. I walk up to examine this heavenly coronet, gleaming brighter than tho sun, and cry: "From what river-depths of Heaven were thoso gcmB gathered?" and a thousand voices reply: "These ore transmuted tears from God's bottle." I seo scepters of light stretched down from the throno of thoso who on earth were trod on of men, nnd in every scepter point, nnd inlaid in every stair of golden throno I behold an indescriba ble richness and luster, nnd cry: "From whenco this streaming light these flushing pearls?" and tho voice of the elders beforo the throne, and of tho martyrs under the ultar, and of the hundred and forty and four thousand radiant on tho glassy bea exclaim: "Transmuted tears from God's bottlo." Let tho ages of Heaven roll on tho story of earth's pomp and pride long ago ended; the Koh-l-noor dinmonds that make kings proud, tho precious stones that adorned Perslnn tiara and flamed on the robos of llabylonlan pro cessions, forgotten; the Oolconda mines charred In the last coullagratlon; but firm ns the everlasting hills, nnd pure as the light that streams from the throne, and bright as the river that fiows from the eternal rock, shall gleam, shall sparkle, shall ilame forever, these transmuted tears of God's bottle.
