HnooKi.r.v, Sept. 0. The great organ, Im
proved and enlarged, rolled out with now
power the long meter tloxology nt tlio opon

passages lllustrntivo of Solomon's nctpialut
nneo with naturnl history.
Ills text wns, Psalm xlll, It "As tho hart
pantoth nfter tho wuter brooks, so pantoth
my soul nftcr thoo, O Ood." Tho groat
preacher said:
David, who must somotlmo havo seen n

Their nntlors Jutted from tho long grass ns
they lay down. No hunter who hns been
long In "John Hrown's track" will wonder
that In tlio llililu they wero classed among
clean ntilmnU, for tho (lows, tho showers, tho
lakes washed them us clean ns tho sky. When
Jacob, tho patriarch, longed for venison,
Esau shot nud brought homo n roebuck.
Isaiah compares tho sprlghtllness of tho re

pressed his disgust nt n hunter who, having
shot n deer, Is too lazy to cook It, saying:
"Tho ilothful man roastcth not that which
ho took 1 1 hunting." Hut 0110 day David,
whllo far from tho homo from which ho had
been driven, nnd sitting near tho door of 11
lonely cavo whero ho had lodged, nml on tho
Imnks of n pond or river, bears n pack of
hounds in swift pursuit, Bccuuso of the pre
vious sllcncoof tho forest tho clangor startles
him, nnd ho says to himself t "1 wonder what
thoso dogs are nf tcrP Thou thero Is n crack
ling In tho brushwood, nnd tho loud breath
ing of some rushing wonder of tho woods,
nml tho antlers of n deer rend tho leaves of
tho thicket, and by nil Instinct which nil
hunters recognize, plunges Into n pond or
lako or river to cool Its thirst, nnd nt tho
samo tlmo, by Ita capacity for swifter nml
longer swimming, to got nwny from tho
foaming harriers. David says to himself:
"Aim, that is myself I Saul nfter mo, Absa
lom nftcr me, enemies without number nftor
mo; 1 am chased, tholr bloody muzzles nt my
heels, barklns nt my good name, barking
nfter my body, lurking nfter my soul. Oh.
tho hounds, tho hounds! Hut look there,"
says David, "that reindeer has splashed Into
the water. It puts Its hot lips nnd nostrilo
Into tlio cool wave that washes tho lathorcd
flanks, nnd it swims nway from tho fiery ca
nines, nnd It Is freo at last. Oh, that I
might find In tho deep, wide Inkoof Clod's
mercy and consolation escapo from my pur
suers! Oh, for tho water, of llfonnd rcscuol
As tho hart pantoth nf tor tho water brooks,
so pantoth my soul nftcr thee, O Ood."
I havo Just como from tho Adirondacks,
nud tho breath of tho balsam nml spruco nnd
plno Is btlll on 1110. Tho Adirondacks nro
now populous with hunters, nnd tho deer aro
being slain by tho score, Tnlklngn fowdaj'B
ngo with n hunter, I thought I would llko to seo
whether my text was accurate in Ita allusion,
and ns 1 heard tlm dogs baying n Ilttlo way
off nnd supposed they were on tho track of n
rclndeir. I said to tho hunter In rough cordu
roy: "Do tho deer nlways make, for tho water
when they nro pursued r Ho said: "Oh,
yes, mister; you seo they nro n hot nml thirsty
nuliual, nud they know whero tho water Is,
nud when they hear danger In tho distance
they lift their nntlei-a nnd hiiufl the breezonnd
start for tho Haequct, or Loon, or Saranne;
and wo get Into oilr cedar shell boat or stand
by tho 'runaway, with rlllo loaded ready
to blaro or, ay." Sly friends, that Is
0110 reason why 1 like tho Bible fo
much its allusions uro bo tnw to nature.
Its partridges nro real partridges, ita
ostriches real ostriches, and Its reindeer real
reindeer. I do not wonder that this nutlercd
glory of tho text makes tho hunter's cyo
sparklo nnd his rheoks glow nud h.s respira
tion quicken. To say nothing of its useful
ues, although It Is tho most useful of nil
game; its flesh delicious, Its skin turned Into
huuin't nppaivl, Its sinows fashioned Into
bow strings, Its antlcra putting handles on
cutlery, nnd tho shavings of Its horns, used
ns n restorative, taken from tho nniiio of tho
hart nnd called hnrt-diorn. But putting nsido
Ita usofulncjs, this enchanting creature seems
mado out of ginccfulucss and elasticity.
What nn cyo, w itli n liquid brightness ns If
gathered up from a hundred lakes of sun
Mitt Tho horns, n coronal branching into
every pvdbln curve, and after It sjems
done, advancing into other projections of
exqulslteness, n treo of polished bone, uplifted
In pride, or swung down for awful combat.
It is velocity emboJled. Timidity Imperson
ated. The riicliMitincnt of tho woods. Ky
lustrous In life nnd pathetic in death. Tho
splendid animal n complete rhythm of mus
cle, nnd bono, nud color, and attitude, nnd
locomotion, whether couched in tho grass
among tho shadows, or n living bolt shot
through tho forest, or turning us bay to at
tack tho hound 1, or rearing for its last fall
under tho buckshot of tho trapper. It is n
splendid nppearauco that tho painter's pencil
falls to Bketeh, nud only a hunter's dream on
n pillow of hemlock nt tho foot of
Ht. ItocU Is nblo to picture. When,
twenty miles from any settlement It
comes down at eventide to tho lake's
edgo to drink nmong tho Illy pnda nud, with
fts sharp edged hoof, shatters tho crybtal of
Long Lake, It la very picturesque. But only
when, after miles of pursuit, with heaving
sides and lolling tonguo nnd oyes bwiuunlug
In death, tho stag leaps from tho cliff into
Upper Barunne, can you rcaliz-j how much
David had suffered from his troubles, nud
how much ho wanted Ood when ho expressed
himself in tho words of tho text: "As tho
hart pautct'.i nftcr tho water brooks, bo
panteth my soul after thee, O Ood." .
Well, now, let nil Ihoso who havo coming
nfter th-jin tho leati houuua of poverty, or tho
black hound i of persecution, or tho spotted
hounds of vlchsltude, or tho palo hounds of
denth, or w ho nro iu any w iso pursued, ily to
tho wide, deep, glorious lako of dlvino solaco
nnd rescue. Tho most of tho men nud wo
men whom I happen to know nt different
times, If not now, havo had troubles nftcr
them, sharp muzzled troubles, swift troubles,
nil devouring troubles. Many of you havo
made tlm mlbtnko of trying to fight thum.
Homebody meanly attacked j on, nud you at
tacked them; they depreciated you, you do-
lw well llko other people, and you nngrlly
charge on tho neuralgia or tho laryngitis or
tho nguo or tho sick headache. Tho fact Is
you aro n deer nt bay. Instead of running
to tho waters of dlvino consolation, nud sink
ing your thirst and cooling your body nnd
soul In tho good cheer of tho Uotpol, nnd
swimming nway Into tho mighty deeps of
God's love, you nro fighting n wholo kennel
of harriers. A few days ngo I saw In tho
Adirondacks n dog lying ncrosstho road, nnd
ho seemed tumble to get up, nud I
somo hunters near byt "What
mntter with that dog?" They nnsweredi
"A deer hurt him." And I saw ho had 11
great swollen xiv nnd n battered head, show
ing w hero tho nutlcrs struck him. And tho
probability is that somo of you might glvo n
mighty clip to your pursuer, you might
dauingo their business, you might worry them
Into 111 health, you might hint them ns much
ns they havo hurt y ti, but, nfter nil, It Is not
worthwhile. You only lmvo hurt n hound. '
Better bo off for tho Upper tinraiiac, into
which tho mountains of God's eternal
strength look down nnd moor their shadows.
As for your physical disorders, the worst
strychnine you can take is fret fulness nnd
tho best medicine Is religion. Iknowp-o-plo
who wero only n Ilttlo disordered,
yet lmvo fretted themselves Into com
plete vnletudlunriiinlMu, whllo others put
their trust In God nud emtio up from tho
very shadow of death, and lmvo lived com
fortably twenty-live yenrs with only 0110
lung. A man with one lung, but Ood with
him, U better off than 11 godless man with
two lungs. Kome of you lmvo been for n
long time sailing around Oapo Pear when
you ought to lmvo been sailing nroiind Capo
Good Hojio. Do not turn back, but go ahead.
Tho deer will accomplish more with its swift
feet than w ith Its horns.
I saw wholo chains of lakes in tho Adiron
dacks, nud from one height you can bet
thirty, nnd there nro said to bo ovor eight
hundred in the grent -wilderness. Ho near nro
they to each other that your mountain guide
picks up nml carries the boat from lake to
lake, tho smnll distance between them for
thnt reason called n "carry." And tho realm
of God's word is ono long chnln of bright,
refreshing lakes; each promise n hike, n ery
short carry between them, nud though for
ages tho pursued havo been drinking out of
them, they nro full up to tho top of tho green
banks, nml tho snmo David describes them,
and they seem so near together that lu threo
different places he sjnks of them nsn con
tinuous river, saying: "There Is n river the
streams whereof shall mnko glad the city of
God;" "Thou shalt mako them drink of tho
rivers of thy pleasures;" "Thou greatly on
richest it with tho river of Ood, which is full
of water."
But many of you lmo turned your back
on that supply, nnd confront your trouble,
and you nro soured with your circumstances,
and you uro fighting society, nnd you nro
fighting n pursu.ug world, nud troubles, in
stead of driving you into tho cool lako of
heavenly comfort, havo made you stop and
turn round nud lower your head, nud it is
simply nutlcr ngaiust tooth. I do not blnmo
you. Probably under tho tarn circum
stances I would havo dono woroo. But you
aro nil wrong. You need to dons tho rein
deer does In February and March It sheds
its horns. Tho Ilahblulcnl writers olludo to
this resignation of antlers by the stag when
they say of n mail who ventures Ids money iu
risky enterprises, ho hns hung it on tb
stag's horns; nud a proverb in tho far east
tells n man who has foolishly lost his fortuuo
to go nnd llud where tho deer shed her horns.
Sly brother, quit tho nntngonism of jour
circumstances, quit misanthropy, quit com
plaint, quit pitching into your pursuers; bo
as wiso us, next spring, will bo nil tho rein
deer of tho Adirondacks. Shed your horns.
But very many of you who nro w rouged of
tho world and if iu any assembly between
Bandy Hook, Now York, nnd Golden Gate,
Ban rranclsco, it wero asked that nil those
that had liecn sometimes badly treated should
ratio both their hands, and full rcspouso
should be made, there would Ikj twice ns
many hands lifted as persons present I say
many of you would declare: "Wo havo al
ways dono tho best wo could nud tried to Ik)
useful, and why wo should become tho vic
tims of mallgmncnt, or invalidism, or mis
hap, Is Inscrutable." Why, do you not know
that tho finer n deer and tho moro elegant its
proportions, and tho moro beautiful its bear
ing, tho moro anxious tho Imiitor.i nnd tho
hounds aro to enpturo It) Had that roebuck
n ragged fur and broken hoofs ami an obliter
ated oyo nnd n limping gait, tho hunters w ould
liavosald: "I'olmwl don't let us waste our am
munition on a sick deer." And tho hounds
would lmvo givoii n fow sniffs of tho track,
and then darted off In another direction for
better gamo. But w hen they see a deer with
nutters lifted in mighty challeugo to earth
and sky, ami tho bleek hi do looks ns if It had
been smoothed by Invisible hands, nnd tho
fnt sides cucloso tho richest juisture that
could bo nibbled from tho bank of rills so
clear they seem to havo dropped out of
heaven, nnd tho stamp of its 'foot defies tho
Jack shooting lantern and tho rillo, tho horn
nud tho hound, that deer they will havo if
thoy must needs break their neck iu tho
rapids. Ho If thero wero no noblo stuff lu
your makeup, If jou wero a bifurcated noth
ing, if you were a forlorn fuiluro, you would
bo allowed to go undisturbed; but tho fact
that tho w hole pack Is in full cry nftcr you
is proof po3itlvo that vuu nro splendid gumo
and worth capturing. Therefore, sarcasm
draws on you Its "finest bend.1' Therefore,
tho world goes gunning for you with its best
Mnynnrd breech loader. Highest compli
ment Is it to your talent, or your virtue, or
your usefulnejs. You will bo assailed iu pro
ortioii to your great achievements. Tho
best and tho mightiest boing tho world over
saw, had set after him nil tho hounds,
terrestrial ami diabolic, oud they lapped his
blood after tho Calwircin massacre. Tho
world paid nothing to its Redeemer but a
bramble nnd n cross, JIauy who linvo dono
tholr host to make tho world better havo had
cuch a rough tlmo of it that nil their pleas

they could cipres3 their own feelings In the
words of the Baroness of Nulru ut the clob-a

IJIs nrin, It wrenches tiX nil bondage. His

last nud nil right with tho future nud nit
right with God, all right with limn, and nil

Nluirod said to Ids threo sons: "Here uro
three vases, nnd ono Is of tiny, another of
ntnber, nnd another of gotd. Chouse now
which you will have." Tho oldest son, hav
ing tho first choice, chose tho vnso of gold,
on which wns written the word "empire,"
and whou oteued It wns found to contain
human blood. The second sou, making tho
next choice, ehoso the vnso of amber, in
scrllied with tho word "glory," nud when
oicncd It contained the fishes of thoso who
wero onco called groat. Tho third son took
tho vnso of clay, nnd opening It, found It
empty, but on tho bottom of It was Inscribed
thoiinmoof God. IClng Nluirod asked his
courtiers which vnso they thought weighed
tho most The uvnrlcrous men of hi i court
said the vnso of gold. Tho KXtn said tho ouo
of niulier. But the wisest men said the
empty vase, liecauso ono letter of the name
of God outweighed n unltcrso.
Tor him I thirst; for his grnco I leg; on
his prom Iso I build my nil. Without him 1
cannot le happy. I have tried tlio world,
nnd it docs well enough ns far as It goes, but
It Is too uncertain u world, tixi evanescent n
world. I am lint u prejudiced witness. I
havo nothing ngnlnst this world. 1 havo
been ono of tho most fortunate, or, to uson
more Ciiristlnu word, ouo of tho most blessed
I of men blessed lu my lwronts, blcs-cd In the
i plnco of my nativity, blessed In my health,
blcssfM lu my field of work, blessed In a
naturnl temperament, blessed In my family,
blessed In my opportunities, blessed lu my
comfortable livelihood, blessed In the hox)
thnt my soul will go to heaven through the
pardoning mercy of Ood, nnd my body,
unless It bo lost nt sea or cremated
lu fomo roufhigmtlou, will Ho down in the
gardens of Greenwood among my kin
dred nnd friends, somo already gone nml
others to como nfter mo. Life to many has
been n disapiioiutnicut, but to mo it has been
n pleasant surprise, nnd yet I declaro that If
I did not feel that God was now my friend
nnd ever present help, 1 should bo wretched
nud terror struck. Hut 1 want moroof Hint.
I havo thought over this text nud preached
thU sermon to myself until with nil the
aroused energies of my body, mind and soul,
I can cry out: "As tho hart panteth nfter
tho water brooks, so panteth my soul after
thco, OGod."
Through Jesus Christ, mnko this Ood your
Ood, and you can withstand' anything nnd
everything, nnd that which nffrights others
will Inspire you. As lu time of an earth
quake, when nn old Christian nomnii wns
asked whether she was tea red, answered: "No,
I am glad that I lmvo n God who can shako
tho world;" or, as lu n financial panic, when
n Christian merchant was r.skcd If ho did not
fear ho would break, answered; "Yes; I shall
break when the fiftieth Psalm breaks lu the.
fifteenth verso: 'Call upon mo lu the day of
troublo; I will deliver thco and thou shalt
glorify inc."' Oh Ciiristlnu men nnd women,
pursued of niiuoyauccs nud exasperations,
icmcmber that this hunt, whether n still
hunt or n hunt In full cry, will soon be over.
If over n whelp looks ushamed ami icadyto
bhuk out of sight, it is when iu tlio Adi
rondacks -a deer, by ono long, tro
meudous pluugo into Big Tuppcr lake, gets
nway from him. Tlio dlsappolu'ed cuuluo
swims iu n ilttlo way, hut, defeated, sw Ims
out again and cringes with humiliated yawu
nt tho f"et of hU master. And how abashed
nnd ashamed will all your earthly troubles
bo when yon have dajhed into tho river from
under the thl'ouo of God, nud the heights
nnd depths of heuvon nro between you nnd
your pursuers. Wo are told lu Ucvelation
xxli, U: "Without aro dogs;" by which
I coucludo there is a wholo kennel of houudi
outside tho gate of heave.), or, ns when ft
mister goes in n door, his dog lies on tho
ctcps waiting for him to como out, so tho
troubles of this llfo may follow us to tho
shining door, but they cannot get in. "With
out are dogs." I havo seo'i dogs, and owned
dogs, that I would not bo chagrined to seo lu
the heavenly city. Homo of tho grand
old watchdogs who are tho constabulary of
tho homes In solitary places, nud for years
havo been tho only protoctiou of wife nnd
child; somo of tho shepherd dogs that drivo
back tho wolves nud bark nway tho flockj
from going too near tho preclpleo; and somo
of th doga whoso neck and law Ijindiecr,
tho painter, has mado immortal, would not
find mo shutting them out from tho gate of
bhlnlug pearl. Homo of those old Ht. Ber
nard dogs that lmvo lifted jwrishing travel
ers out of the Atptuo snow; the dog that
John Brown, tho Keoteh essayist, saw ready
to spring nt the Burgeon, lest, in removing tuo ,
cancer, he too much hurt tho poor woman i
whom tho dog felt bound to protect; and
dogs that we caressed In our childhood
days, or thnt in later tlmo laid dowu on
tho rug iu teeming sympathy when our
homes wero desolated. 1 say, if somo soul
entering heaven should happen to leavo the
gate oj.ir and these faithful creatures should
quietly walk in, it would not at all distnrh
my heaven. But nil thoso human or brutal
hounds that havo chased ami torn ami lacer
ated tho world; yea, all that now bito or
worry or tear to pieces, shall bo prohibited
"Without aro dogs!" No plnco thero for
harsh critics or baekbitorfl or despollcrs of
tlio reputation of others. Down with you to
tlio kennels of darkness uud despair! Tho
hnrt has i sached tho eternal water brooks,
and the panting of tho long cho&o is quieted
In still pastures, and "there shall bo nothing
to hunt or destroy iu all God's holy mount,"
Oh, when some of you get thero it will ho
llko whitn hunter tells of when ho was push
ing UU e.moo fur up north in tho winter,
nnd amid tho Ico floes, nud n hundred miles,
ns ho thought, from any other human be

stepping on tho Ice, nnd he cocked tho rifle,
icady to meet anythlug that came near. He
found u man, barefooted and it mo from
long csposuiv, approaching him. Taking
him Into his canoe nud kindling flies to

whero ho had lived, nud took him to Ul.i

tho first of many thousands of coins that tho
artist was to pocket during his career. Ycaw
