Do Wilt TInmt;f, D.D., i:i.-tor llio
Iirooldyii Tu'm-i uncle, wntinucs to -njoy
tho siiiiimcr in this il;;i:iuit place. HifJ
wrruon for toduy was rri tho text, "Wo
CJinuot, until all tlits Iloc krf b; .ithercd to
gether, ami till they roll tho htuJie from
tho well's mouth; then wo water tho
lihecp." Genesis xxlx, N.
A Kceno in Mesopotamia, beautifully
pastoral. A will of water of great valuo
in that region. The HehN around about
it white witli three Nocks of tsheep lying
clown waiting for tho wutering. I hoar
their bleating coming on tho bright air,
and tho laughter of young men and
maidens indulging In rustic repartee. I
look off and I sets other Nocks of nhcep
coming. Meanwhile Jacob, a stranger,
on tho inle resting errand of looking for n
Wife, comes to tho well. A beautiful
fclnijherdess comes to tho same well. I
see her approaching, fallowed by her
father's llotk of fchcep. It was ;v memo
rablo meeting. Jacob married that shep
herdess. Tho 15illo account of it is:
"Jacob kissed ltachcl, nnd 1 if tod up
liis voice and wept." It has always been
n mystery to mo what ho found to cry
about! But before that kchiiu occurred,
Jacob accosts the shepherds and asks
them why they postpone tho slaliing of
tho thirst of tin-so sheep and why they
did not immediately proceed to water
them. Tho shepherds reply to tho effect:
"Wo are all good neighbors, and as a mat
ter of courtesy we wait until all the sheep
of the neighborhood come up. Besides
Hi: t , this stone on tho well's mouth id
somewhat heavy, and several of us take
hold of it and push it aside, and then tho
buckets and I he troughs are Idled, and
the sheep are satisfied. We cannot, until
nil tho Nocks are gathered together, and
till they roll the stone from the well's
' mouth; then we wafer the sheep."
Oh, this is a thirsty world! Hot for
tho head, r.nd blistering for the feet, and
parching for the tongue. The world's
great want is a cool, refreshing, .suti.-fying
draught. We wander around and we
llnd the cistern empty. Long and tedi
ous drought has dried up the world's
fountains, but nearly nineteen centuries
ago ft shepherd with crook in the shape of
a cross, and feet cut to tho bleeding, ei
plorcQ tho desert passages of this world,
and ono day came across a well a thou
sand feet deep, bubbling and bright and
opalescent, and looked to the north, and
the south, and the east, and the vct, and
cried out with a voice strong and musical
that rang through the ages, "IIu, every
one that thir.-teth, come ye to the waters:''
Now a great flock of sheep today gather
around this Gospel well. There are a.
p-eat raauy thirsty souls. I wonder why
the llocks of all nations da not gather
why so many stay thirsty; and while I
am wondering about it, my text breaks
forth in the explanation, saying: "We
cannot, until all the flocks be gathered to
gether, and till they roll the stone from
tho well's mouth; then we water the
sheep."
, If a herd of swine come to a well they
angrily jostle each other for the prece
dence; if a drove of cattle come to a well,
they hook each other back from the water,
but when a Nock of sheep come, though a
hundred of them shall be disappointed,
they only express it by sad bleating ; they
come together peacefully. We want a
great multitude to come around the Gospel
well. I know there, are those who do
not like a crowd they think a crowd
is vulgar. If they are oppressed for room
In church it makes them positively impa
tient and belligerent. We have had peo
ple permanently leave our church because
bo many other people come to it. No so
did these oriental shepherds. They waited
until all the flocks were gathered, and tho
more flocks that came the better they
liked it. And so we ought to be anxious
that all the people should come. Go out
into the highways and the hedges and
compel them to come in. Go to the rich
and tell them they are indigent without
the Gospel of Jesus. Go to the poor and
tell them the nCluence there is in Christ.
Go to the blind and tell them of the touch
that gives eternal illumination. Go to
the lame and tell them o the joy that
will make the l ime man leap like a hart.
Gather all the sheep off of all the moun
tains. None so torn of the dogs, none so
eiek. none so worried, none so dying, as to
be omitted. Why not gather a great
flock? All Brooklyn in a Nock; all New
York iu a flock; all London iu a flock; ull
the world ina Nock. This Gospel well is
deep enough to put out the burning thirst
of the twelve hundred millions of the race.
Do not let tho church, by a spirit of cx
clusiveness, keep the world out. Let
down all the bars, swing opeu all tho
gates, scatter all the invitations, "Whoso
ever will, let him come." Come, white
and black. Come, red men of the forest.
Come, Laplander, out of tho snow. Come,
Patagoman, out of the heat. Come iu
furs. Come panting under palm leaves.
Conio one. Come all. Come now. As
at this well of Mesopotamia Jacob and
Kachcl were betrothed, so this morning at
this well of salvation Christ our Shepherd
will meet you coming up with your long
flocks of cares and anxieties, and he will
stretch out his hand in pledge of his af
fection, while all heaven will cry out,
"Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye
out to meet him."
You notice that this well of Mesopota
mia had a stone on it, which must be re
moved before the sheep could be watered;
and I find on the well of salvation today
impediments and obstacles, which must
be removed in order that you may obtain
the refreshment and life of this gospel.
In your case the empediment is pride of
heart. You cannot bear to come to so
democratic a fountain; you do not want
to come with so many others. It is to
you like when you are dry. coming to a
town pump, as compared with sitting in a
parlor sipping out of a chased chaiico
which has just been lifted from a silver
6alver. Not so many publicans and sin
ners. You want to get to heaven, but it
must be in n special car, with your feet
on a Turkish ottoman and a band of
music on board the train. You do not
want to be in company with rustic Jacob
and Rachel, and to be drinking out of tho
fountain where ten thousand sheep have
been drinking before you. You will have
to remove tho obstacle of pride, or never
find your way to 1 he well. You will have
to come as.we came, willing to take tho
water of eternal life in any way, and at
any hand, and in any kind of pitcher, cry
ing out: "Oh, Lord Jesus, I am dying of
thirst. Give me the water of eternal life,
whether in trough or goblet; give me tho
water of life; I caro not iu what it comes
tome." Away with all your hindrances
of pride from the well's mouth.
, litre is another ntan who is kept back
from this water of life by tho utone of pn
obdurate heart, which lies over the mouth
of the well. You havo no moru feeling
nroii this subject than if God hiui
yet to do you tho first kindness, or
you had to do God the Hist wrong.
Koutcd on his lap all these years,
his everlasting arms sheltering you,
where is your gratltudef Where ia
your morning and evening prayer Where
aro your consecrated lives? I say to you,
as Daniel said to Belshnzzar: . "The God
in whose hand thy breath is, and nil thy
way, thou hast not glorified." If you
treated anybody as badly as you have
treated God you would have made 500
apologies; yea, your whole hfe would havo
been an apology. Three times a day you
havo been seated at God's t.iUo. Sr'pring,
nummer, autumn and winter he lifn ap
propriately appareled you. Your health
from him, your companion from him,
your children from him? your home from
him; all the bright surrounding of your
life from him. Oman, whatdost thou with
that hard heart? Canst thou not feel one
throb of gratitude toward the God that
made you, and the Christ who came to re
deem you, and the Holy Ghost who lias
all those years been importuning you? It
you could sit down live minutes under the
tree of a Saviour's martyrdom, and feel
his warm life trickling on jour forehead,
and cheek, and hands, methinks you
would get some appreciation of what you
owe to a erucilied Jesus.
Heart (it stone, relent, reU'Lt,
TotH.-liecl by Jesus" cross subdued.
See liis body, rnaiigleil, rent,
Covered with a Kori; of Liljod,
Sinful soul, what hast thou done?
CriK-illed tho eternal Son.
Jacob with a good deal of fug and push
took the stone from t lie well's mouth, so
that tho Nocks might be watered. And I
would that this morning my nord, blessed
of God, might remove tho hindrances to
your getting up to the Gospel well. Ye:v.
I take it for granted that the work is done,
and now, like oriental shepherds, I pro
ceed to water tho sheep.
Corno, all yo thirsty! You have ?n un
defined longing in your soul. You tried
money making; that did not satisfy you.
You tried ottico under gove lament; th:t
did not satisfy you. You tried pictures
nnd sculptures; but works of art did not,
satisfy you. You are as much discon
tented with this life as tho celebrated
Trench author who K-lt that, he could not
any longer endure tho misfortunes of the
world, and who said: "At 4 o'clock this
afternoon I shall put an end to myov.n
existence. Meanwhile, I must toll on uy
to that time for the susteince cf my
fr.milj-." And he wiote on his book until
ti e cluck struck -i, wb.eu.he folded up his
manuscript and, by his own hand, con
cluded his earthly life. Theie are men in
this house who are perfectly discontented.
Unhappy in the past, unhappy today, to
be unhappy forever, unless you come to
this Gospel well. This satisfies the soul
wilii a high, deep, all absorbing and eter
nal satisfaction. It comes, and it offer
the most unfortunate man so much of
th;; world as is best tr him, and throws
all heaven into the bargain. Tho wealth
of Cruras, and of all tho Stewarts, anJ of
ail rha Barings, and ail the I'.othschiids is
ordy a poor, miserable shilling compared
wiin the eternul fortunes that Chrit offers
yr.-.t today. In tho far east there was a
king who used once a year to get on a
scales, while on the other side the scales
were placed gold and silver and gems; in
deed enough were placed there to balance
the king; then, at the close of the weigh
ing, all those treasures were thrown
among the populace. But Christ today
steps on ono side the scales, and on tho
other sido are all the treasures of the uni
verse, and he says: "All are youra ail
height, all depth, all length, all breadth,
all eternity; all aro yours." Wc don't
appreciate the promises of the Gospel.
When an aged clergyman was dying a
man very eminent in the church a yoxm.se
theological student stood by his side, and
the aged man looked up and said to h'm:
"Can't you give me some comfort in my
dying hour?" "No," said this young mn;
"I can't talk to you on this subject; you
know all a'oout it, and have known it so
long." "Well," said tho dying mr.u,
"just recite to me some promises." The
young man thought a moment, and he
came to this promise: "Tho blocd of
Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin;" and
the old man clapped his hands, and in his
dying moment said: "That's jast the
promise I have been waiting for. 'The
blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all
sin.'" Oh, the warmth, tie grandeur,
tho magnificence of the promises!
Come also to this Gospel well, all ye
troubled. .1 do not suppose you have
escaped. Compare your view of this life
at 15 years of age with what your view is
of it at 40, or CO, or 70. A hat a great
contrast of opinion! Were you right then,
or are you right now? Two cups placed
in j our hands the one a sweet cup, the
other a sour cup. A cup of joy and a cup
of grief. Which has been the nearest to
being full, and out of which have you the
more frequently partaken? Yhr.t a dif
ferent place Greenwood Is from what
it used to be? Once it was to you
a grand city improvement, and you went
out on the pleasure excursion, and yuu
ran laughingly up the moc.-.d, nnd yen
criticised in a light way the epitaph. But
since the day when you heard the bell toll
at the gate when yon went in with the
procession, it is a sad place and there is a
flood of rushing memories thai suffuse tho
eye and overmaster tho heart. Oh, you
have had trouble, trouble, trouble. God
only knows how much yoa hive had. It
is a wonder you havo been able
to live through it. It is a won
der your nervous system has not
been shattered, and your brrJn has not
reeled. Trouble, trouble. If I could
gather all the griefs, cf all sorts, from this
great audience, end could put them in one
scroll, neither man nor cngel cauid endure
the recitation. Weil, what dj you want?
Would yen like to have your property
back again? "2o," you say, as a Chris
tian man, "I was beco:iing arro
gant, end I think that is why the
Lord took it away. I don't want
to have my property back." Well, would
you have your departed fr:ends back
again? "No," you say, "I couldn't take the
responsibility of bringing them from a
tearless realm to a realm o? tears. I
couldn't do it." Well, then, what do you
want? A thousand voices in the audience
cry oiit: "Comfort, give U3 comfort." For
that reason I have rolled away the stono
from the well's mouth. Come, all ye
wemded of the flock, pursued of the
wolves, corno to the fountain where the
Lord's sick and bereft ones have come.
"Ah," says some one, "you are not old
enough to understand my sorrows. Yoa
have not been in the world &a long as I
have, and you can't talk to me about my
misfortunes in the time of old ago."
Well, I may not have lived as long as yon,
but I have been a great deal among old
people, and I know how they feel about
their failing health, and about their de
parted friends, and about the loneliness
that sometimes strikes through their
souls. After two persons have lived to
gether for forty or fifty years, nnd one
of them id taken away, what desolation!
I shall not forget the cry of the
Lite Ttcv. Dr. De Witt, of New York,
v. hen lie stood by the open grave of h!3
bclov.sd wife, and, after the obsequies had
endeo, he looked down Into the open place
and c lid: "Farewell, my honored, faithful
and f-elovert wife. Tho bond that bound
us is severed. Thou art in glory, and I
uiu b'To on earth. We shall meet again,
rare-veil I Farewell!'' To lean on a prop
for fifty years, and then have it
break under you! There were only
two years' difference lK-tween the death
of my father and mother. After my
mothjr's decease, my father used to
go a; mud as though looking for some
thing; he would olten get up from one
room, without any seeming reason, nnd
go t another room; and then ho would
Like his cane and statt out and -some ono
woull say: "iVIher, where are you
goiuir?" and ho would answer: "1 don't
know exactly where I am goin;j." Al
ways looking for something. Though he
was a tender hearted man, 1 never saw
him cry but once, and that was at the
burial of my mother. After sixty years'
living together it was hard to part. And
there are aged people today who are feel
ing just such a pang as that. I want to
tell them there is perfect enchant
ment in the promises of this Gos
pel; and I come to them and
offer ihem rny arm, or I take their arm
arid I bring them to this Gospel. Sit
down, father or mother, sit down. See if
there is anything at the well for you.
Come, David, the Psalmist, havo you any
thing encouraging to olfer them? "Yes,"
cays the Psalmist: "They shall bring
forth fruit in old aim, they shall be fat
and flourishing, to show that the Lord is
upright, he is my rock, and there is no
unrijliteousness in me." Come, Isaiah,
hae you anything to say out of your
prophecies for these aged people? "Yes,"
saya isaiah: "Down to old ago, I am with
thee, and to hoary hairs will I carry
thee." Well, if the Lord is going
to carry you, you ought not to
worry much about your failing eyesight
and 1. iling limbs. You get a little worried
for fe;.r some lime you wiil come to want,
do yo.:? Your children nnd grandchildren
some! lines speak u little sharp at you be
cause of your ailments. The Lord will
not 2p;jak sharp. Do you think you will
come to want? Who do you think the
Lord t j? Arc his granaries empty? Will
he fee 1 the raven, and the rabbit, and the
liou in tho desert, and forget you? Why,
luitur. lists tell us that the porpoise will
not forsake its wounded and sick mate.
And t. you suppose the Lord of heaven
and e rth has net as much sympathy as
the fii 'i of the sea? But you say: "I am
so near worn out, and I am of no use to
God a ly more." J think the Lord knows
whetl er you are of any more use or not;
If you were of no more use he would have
taken you before this. Do you think God
has forgotten you because he has taken
care or you seventy or eighty years? llo
thinks moro of you today than he ever
did, b'. 3ause you think more of him. May
the Cod of Abraham, and Isaac, and
Jacob, and Paul the aged, be your God
forever I
Bat I gather all the promises today ina
group, and I ask the shepherds to drive
their i:ocks of lambs and sheep up to the
spar Ling supply. "Behold, happy is the
man -"chom God corrccteth." "Though
he ea'no grief, yet will he have compas
sion." "Many are the afflictions of the
righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out
cf the:a all." "Weeping may endure for
a nigfi but Joy cometh in the morning."
I am determined this morning that no one
sh.nllfoout of this house uncomforted.
Yondt r is a timid and shrinking soul who
seems co hide away from the consolations
I am uttering, ns a child with a sore hand
hides away from the physician lest ho
touch the wound too roughly, and the
mother has to go and compel the little
patienl. to come out and see the physician.
So I come to your timid and shrinking
soul t. day and compel you to come out in
the pr. sence of the Divine Physician. He
wiil i! -it hurt you. He has been healing
wounds for many years, and ho will give
you - ntlo and omnipotent medicament.
But 3ople, when they have trouble,
go c: ywhere rather than to God.
DeQi-icy took opium to get rid
rf Ms troubles. Charles Lamb
took to punch. Theodore Hook to some
thing stronger. Edwin Forrest took to
thtai.- sal dissipation. And men have run
all a.ound the earth, hoping in the
tfnick iransit to get away from their mis
fvirta:;.3. It has been a dead failure.
There :s only one well that can slake tho
thirst -f an afflicted spirit, and that is the
deep a '-id inexhaustible well of the Gospel.
But some one says in the audience:
"Notwithstanding all you have said this
moiii!T-g I find no alleviation for my
troiaV. s." Well, I am not through yet.
I have left the most potent consideration
for ti e last. Iam going to soothe you
with the thought of heaven. However
talkat: ve we may be, there will come a
time v nen the stoutest and most emphatic
interrogation will evoke from us no an
swer. As soon ns wo have closed our lips
for the final silence no power on earth
can brt.ak their taciturnity. But where,
oh Chi stian, will be your spirit? In a scene
cf is!", -.its gladness. The spring morning
i,l be-ven waving its blossoms in tho
brighx, air. Yictors fresh from battle
s--.ov. ;!-r their scars. The rain of earthly
scriov. struck through with the rainbow
of ete; nal joy. In one group God and
angels and the redeemed Paul nnd Silas,
Latim. r nnd Ridley, Isaiah and Jeremiah,
I'aysoii and John Milton, Gabriel and
Mich;o the archangel. Long line of
chor.':-' -rs reaching across the hills. Seas
of j:v lashing to the white beach. Con
querm . marching from gate to gate. You
am on i. them.
Oh, rhat a great flock of sheep God will
gather xround the celestial well! No stone
on th- well's mouth while the Shepherd
waters the sheep. There Jacob will recog
nize II ichel the shepherdess. And stand
ing on no side of the well of eternal rap
ture, 5 ur children; and standing on the
other s le of eternal rapture, your Chris
tian a: cestry, you will be bounded on
all sici' ' by a joy so keen and grand that
no oth r world has ever been permitted
to expr -iencc it. Out of that one deep
well of heaven tho shepherd will dip re
union r'or the bereaved, wealth for the
poor, 1 ealth for the sick, rest for the
weary. And then all the flock of the
Lord's -heep will lie down in the green
posture?, and world without end wiil
praise : ae Lord that on this summer Sab
bath m Tning we were permitted to study
the story of Jacob and Rachel the shep
herdess at the well in Mesopotamia.

During the late hot weather he was sur

A Creat Kcvement.
According to the statistical report of
tho Sunday schools in the United States
rendered tit the late international con
vention In.-lcd in Chicago, there has been
an increase in the scholar mcembership
of all the Sunday shools iu the U. S.
since 1834 of 003,045. It is interesting
to know by what agencies this increase
has been secured for it shows that a
great missionary work has been done to
bring an army of 305,000 into active
membership with our Sunday schools. No
more important work can he conceived
of, for it has to do with the destiny of
our entire country.
The three last annual reports of the
American Sunday School union, the old
undenominational society "that cares for
the children" who are provided for by
no one else, show that since 1.S84, it has
brought 1S5,034 children inio 4.04 7 new
Sunday sc hools, a n"mlcr equal to 5,000
more than one half of all the increase re
ported as having been secured by this
and all other agencies during these three
years. But this American Sunday School
union did moro than this--it aided 4,
823 other schools which have 40,774
teachers and T.15.714 scholar. so that
in these three y;.irs it reached 0.872 com
munities nd Sunday schools, and 700,
748 children and youth and then reaided
and revisited these schools 0.245 times,
besides making 02,5S4 visits to families,
supplying 45,019 destitute persons with
the scriptuies and holding 27,247 relig
ious meeting?. That there is great need
for morc-ol just such work in our coun
try, is evident from the fact that accord
ing to the international e.ecrc-tary's report
there are but 8 03 1,473 scholar in all the
Sunday schof-ls in th-? United States that
report to this convention, which the
chairman cf the executive committee said
was five pc cent too small. If five per
cent were added, wc have 8,430,201
scholars in all our Sunday schools. But
the. statement was made that 0 per cent
should be d dueed for those over 21 and
under sir years of age and those who
attend more than one school and
are counted twice; which deduction
would leave 0,043,001 children and
youth of school age in all our Sunday
schools, while there are at least 9,000,000
more children of that age in our country,
and very likely most of them attend no
Sunday school.
Truly the American Sunday school
union is doing a great work for present
and future America, for which there is
most urgent need. Any who would like
to read this last annual report, or aid its
work by gift of funds may send to F. O.
