T. Do Witt Talmape, D. I)., of Drook
Ijn, is in lliia region. Uo lias ejKiken
Heveral times nt tho grcat Piedmont
Chautauqua, and publics appearances
aro attended by vat multitudes every
where. Preaching from tho text (Luke
xv, 28), "And ho was angry and would
not go in," ho e.n'ul:
la tho elder son of tho parablo bo un
sympathetic and bo cold that lie is not
worthy of recognition? Tho fact ii that
wo ministers pursue tho younger son.
You can hear tho flapping of his rags in
many a Kormonic breeze, and tho crunch
ing of tho iods for which ho was an un
successful contestant. I confess that for
a long time I was unablo to train tho
camera obscura upon tho elder son of
the parable. I never could get a nega
tive for a photograph. There was not
enough light in tho gallery or tho chem
icals wero poor or tho titter moved in
tho picture. Put now I think I have
Lini. Not a sido faco or a three quar
ters or tho mcro bust, but a full length
portrait as ho appears to mo. Tho father
in tho parable of tho prodigal had noth
ing to brag of in his two sons. Tho one
was a rake and tho other a churl. I find
nothing admirable in tho dissoluteness of
tho one, and I find nothing attractive in
tho acrid sobriety of tho other. The one
goes down over tho larlxiard fiido and
tho other goes down over tho starboard
nido; but they both go down.
prom tho window of tho old home
Btead bursts tho minstrelsy. The lloor
qinikcs with tho fuet of tho rustics,
whoso danco is always vigorous and re
sounding. Tho neighbors liavo heard of
tho return of tho younger son from his
wanderings, and they havo gathered to
gether. Tho houso is full of congratu
latory. I suppose the tables aro loaded
with luxuries. Not only tho one kind of
meat mentioned, but its concomitants.
"Clap!" go the cymbals, thrum!" go
tho harps, "click!" go the clialices, up
and down go tho feet inside, whilo out
tide is a most sorry spectacle.
Tho cnior son stands at tho corner of
the house, a frigid phlegmatic. Uo has
just como in from the fields in very sul
htantial apparel. Seeing somo wild ex
hilarations around tho old mansion, ho
isks of a servant passing by with a goat
kkin of wine on his shoulder what all the
fuss Is aliout. One would have thought
that, on hearing tliat his younger brother
had got back, he would have gono into
tho houso and rejoiced, and if ho were
not conscientiously opposed to dancing,
that he would havo joined in the orien
tal schottische. No. There he stands.
His brow lowers. His lipciula with con
tempt. Ho stamps tho ground with in
dignation. He sees nothing nt nlj to at
tract. The odors of the feast coming out
on tlie air do not sharpen his appetite.
Tho lively music does not put any spring
into his step. Uo is in a terrible
pout. Ho criticises tho exjense, the in
justice and the morals of the entertain
ment. Tho father rushes out bareheaded
and coaxes him to como in. He will not
go in. Jioscold3 tho father, llo goes
into a pasquinade against tho younger
brother, and ho makes the most uncomely
scene. Ho says, "Father, you put
premium on vagabondism. I stayed at
homo and worked on the farm. You
never made a ivirty for me; you didn't so
much as kill a kid: that wouldn t havo
cost half as much as a calf; but the scape
grace went oil in f'mo clothes, and he
comes back not fit to bo seen, and what a
time you make over him! He
breaks your heart, and you ray him
for it. That calf to which wo havo been
giving extra feed during all tlieso weeks
wouldn t lio so fat and sleek if I had
known to what uso jou wero going to
put it! That vagabond deserves to be
cowhided instead of lanqueted. Veal is
too good for him!" That evening, while
tho younger son sat telling his father
about his adventures, and asking about
what had occurred on tho place since his
departure, tho senior brother goes to bed
disgusted, and slams the door after him.
That senior brother still lives. You can
see him any Sunday, any day of the week.
At a meeting of ministers in Germany
some one asked the question, "Who is
tliat elder son?" and Krummacher an
swered, "I know him; I saw him yester
day." And when they insisted upon
knowing whom he meant, ho said, "My
self; when I saw the account of the con
version of a most obnoxious man, I was
irritated."
First, this senior brother of the text
stands for tho self congratulatory, self
satisfied, self worshipful man. With tho
same breath in which he vituperates
against his younger brother ho utters a
panegyric for himself. Tho self right
eous man of my test, like every other
6elf righteous man, was full of faults.
Ho was an ingrate, for ho did not appre
ciate the home blessings which he had all
those years. He was disobedient, for
when the father told him to come hi he
6tayed out. Ho was a liar, for ho said
that the recreant son had devoured his
father's living, when tho father, so far
from being reduced to penury, had a
homestead left, had instruments of music,
had jewels, had a mansion, and, instead
of being a pauper, was a prince. This
senior brother, with so many faults of his
own, was merciless in his criticism of the
younger brother. The only perfect peo
2'lo that I have ever known were utterly
obnoxious. I waa never so badly
cheated in all my life as by a perfect
man. He got so far up in las devotions
that he was clear up above all the rules
of common honesty. Tlieso men that
go about prowling among prayer meet
ings and ia places of business, telling
how good they are look out for them ;
keep your hand on your pocketbook! I
liavo noticed that just in proportion as a
man gets good he gets humble. Tho
deep Jlississippi does not make as much
noise as tho brawling mountain rivulet.
There lias been many a store that lad
more goods in tho show window than
inside on tho shelves.
This self righteous man of the text
Btcod at the corner of the house hugging
a hear a creat
deal ia our day about the higher life.
1'ow, there aro two kinds of higher lifo
mt:i. The owe are admirable, and tho
other are most repulsive. Tho ono kind
of higher lifo man u very lenient in his
criticism of others, does not lioro prayer
meetings to death with long harangues,
does not talk a great deal about himself,
but much about Christ and heaven, gets
kindlier and more gentle and more useful
until ono day his soul spreads a w ing and
lie flies away to eternal rest, and every
body mourns his departure. Tho oilier
higher lifo man goes around with a Iiiblo
conspicuously under his arm; goes from
church to church, a sort of general evan
gelist; is a nuisance to Ids own pastor
w hen ho is at homo and a nuisance tc
other pastors when ho is away from
home; runs up to some man who is
counting out a roll of bank bills or run
ning up a difficult lino of figures and
asks him how is soul is; makes religion
a doso of ipecacuanha; standing in a re
ligious meeting making an address, he has
a patronizing way, as though ordinary
Christians wero clear away down below
him, so ho has to talk at the top of his
voico in order to make them hear, but at
the same time encouraging them to hope
on; that by climbing many 3-ears they
may after a while como up within sight
of tho place where ho now stands! I
tell you plainly that a roaring, royster
ing, liouucing sinner is not so repulsivo
to mo as that higher lifo malformation.
Tho former may repent; the latter never
gets over his pharisaism. Tho younger
brother of tho parable camo back, but
tho senior brother stands outsido entirely
oblivious of his own delinquencies and
deficits, pronouncing his own eulogium.
Oh, how much easier it is to blame
others than to blame ourselves! Adam
blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent,
the serpent blamed the devil, tlie senior
brother blamed tho younger brother, and
none of them blamed themselves.
Again, tho senior brother of my text
stands for all those who are faithless
about tho reformation of tho dissipated
and tho dissolute. In the very tones of
his voice you can hear the fact that he
has no faith that the reformation of the
younger son U genuine. His entire
manner seems to sayt -"That boy has
come back for more money. He got a
third of tho property; now ho has corrn
back for another third. He will never
bo contented to stay on the farm. lie
will fall away. I would go in, too, and re
joice with the others if I thought this
thing was genuine; but it is a sham. That
boy is a confirmed inebriate and de
bauchee." Alas! my friends, for tho in
credulity in tho church of Christ in re
gard to tho reclamation of the re
creant. You say a man has been &
strong drinker. I say: "Yes, but he ha
reformed." "Oh," you say, with a lu
gubrious face, ' 'I hope yoti are not mis
taken; I hope you" are not mis
taken." You say "Don't rejoice too
much over his conversion, for aoon
he will be unconverted, I fear.
Don't make too big a party for that re
turned prodigal, or strike the timbrel too
loud; and if you kill a calf, kill the one
that is on the commons, and not the ono
that has been luxuriating in the paddock."
That is the reason why more prodigals
do not come homo to their father's house.
It is the rank infidelity in tho church of
God on thjs subject. There is not a
house on tho streets of heaven that
has not in it a prodigal fhat has
returned and strayed home. There
could be unrolled before vou a scroll of
a hundred thousand names tho names
of prodigals who came back forever
reformed. Who was John Bun van? A
returned prodigal. Who was Richard
Baxter? A ret turned prodigal. Who
was Georgo Whitefield, the thunderer?
A returned prodigal. And I could go
out in all directions in this audience and
find on either side those who, once far
astray for many years, havo been faith-
tul, and their eternal salvation is as sure
as though they had been ten years in
heaven. And yet some of you have not
enough faith in their return.
You do not know how to shake hands
with a prodigal. You do not know how
to pray for him. You do not know how
to greet him. Ho wants to sail in the
warm gulf stream of Christian sympa
thy. You are the iceberg against which
he strikes and shivers. You say he has
been a prodigal. I know it. But you
aro the sour, unresponsive, censorious,
saturnine, cranky elder brother, and if
you aro going to heaven one would think
somo people would be tempted to go to
perdition to get away from you. The
hunters say that if a deer be shot the
other deer shove him out of their com
pany, and the general rule is, away
with the man who has been wounded
with sin. Now, I say the more bones a
man has broken tho more need he has
of a hospital, and that tho more a man
has been bruised and cut with sin the
more need ho has to bo carried into human
and divine sympathy. But for such meu
there is not much room in this world
the men who want to come back after
wandering. Plenty of room for elegant
sinners, sinners m velvet and satin and
lace, for sinners high salaried, for kid
gloved and patent leather sinners, for sin
ners fixed up by hair dresser, pomatumed
and lavendered and cologned and frizzled
and crimped and "banged" sinners
plenty of room ! Such we meet elegantly
at the door of our churches, and we in
vito them into the best 6eats with Ches-
terfieldian gallantries; we usher them
into the house of God, and put soft otto
mans under their feet, and put a gilt
edged prayer book in their hand, and pass
tlie contribution box before them with an
air of apology, while they, the generous
60uls ! take out the exquisite porteuion
naie, and open it, and with diamond
finger push down beyond the ten dollar
gold pieces and delicately pick out as an
expression of gratitude their offering to
the Lord of one cent. For such sinners,
plenty of room, plenty of room. But
for the man who has been drinking until
his coat is threadbare and his face is
erysipelased, and his wife's wedding
dress is in tho pawnbroker's shop, and
his cluldren, instead of being in school,
are out begging broken bread at the base
ment doors of the city the man, body,
mind and soul on fire with the flames
that have leaped from, the scathing,
scorching, blasting, consuming cup
which the drunkard takes, trembling
and agonized and affrighted, and presses
to his parched lip and his cracked tongue
and his shrieking yet immortal spirit
no room.
Oh, if tins younger son of the parable
liad not gone so far off, if be had not
Stropped so low in. wassail, the protest
PLATTSM0UTI1
would not have been so severe ; but go
ing clear over tho precipice as the
younger son did, tho elder son is angry
and will not go in.
Oh, le not so hard in your criticism of
the fallen, lest thou thyself also bo
tempted. A stranger one Sunday stag
gered up and down tho aisles of my
church, disturbing the service until tho
service had to stop until he w.n taken
from the room. Ho was a minister of
tho Gospel of Jesus Christ of a sister
denomination 1 That man had preached
the Gospel, that man had broken the
bread of the Holy Communion for tho
jeople. From what a height to what a
depth! Oh, I was glad there was no
smiling in tho room when that man was
taken out, his poor wifo following him
with hi3 hat in her hand, and his coat on
her arm. It was as solemn to me as two
funerals the funeral of the body and
the funeral of the soul. Bewaro lest
thou also bo tempted.
An invalid went to South America for
his health, and ono day sat 6unning him
self on tho beach, when ho saw some
thing crawling up the beath, wriggling
toward him, and ho was affrighted. Ho
thought it was a wild beast, or a reptile,
and he took his pistol from his pocket.
Then he saw it was not a wild beast. It
was a man, an immortal mun, a man
mado in God's own image; and the poor
wretch crawled up to tho feet of tho in
valid and asked for strong drink, and the
invalid took his wine flask from his
jiocket, and gave the poor wretch some
thing to drink, and then under the
stimulus he rose up and gave his history.
Ho had been a merchant in Glasgow,
Scotland. Ho had gone down under the
power of strong drink until ho was so
reduced in poverty that ho was lying in
a boat just off the beach. "Why," Baid
tho invalid, "I knew a merchant in Glas
gow once," a merchant by such and 6uch
a name, and the poor wretph straightened
himself and said, "I arn that man,"
"Let him that thinketji le standeth take
heed test he fall."
Again, I remark that the senior brother
of my text stands for the spirit of citvy
and jealousy. The senior brother thought
that all the honor they did to the returned
brother was a wrong to him. Ho said,
"I have stayed at home, and I ought to
have had the ring, and I ought to have
had tho banqufet, aiid fought to have had
the garlands." Alas' for this spirit of
envy and jealousy coming down through
tho ages! Cain and Abel, Esau and Jacob,
Saul and David, Haman and Mordecai,
Othello and Iago, Orlando and Angelica,
Caligula and Tpiquatus, Cocsar and Poni
pey, Columbus and the Spanish courtjers.
Cambyses and the brother he slew because

How seldom contemporaries speak of
each other. Xenophon and Plato living
at the same time, but from their writings
you never would suppose they heard of
each other. Religious jealiousies. The
Mahommedans praying for rain during
a drought, no rain coming. Then
tho Christians began to pray for
rain, and the rain comes. Then the
Mahommedans met together to account
for this,t and they resolved that God was
so well' pleased with their prayers he
kept the drought on so as to keep them
praying; but that the Christians began
to pray, and the Lord was so disgusted
with their prayers that he sent rain right
away so lie would not hear any more of
their supplications. Oh, this accursed
spirit of envy and jealousy! Let us
stamp it out from all our hearts.
A wrestler was so envious of Theoere-
nes, the prince of wrestlers, that he
could not bo consoled inanvwav; and

an.fr luwgeuca aiea ana a statue was
lifted to hun in a public place, his envi
ous antagonist went out every night and
wrestled with the statue until one night
ho threw it, and it fell on him and
crushed him to death. So jealousy is
not only absurdr"but it is killing to the
body and it is killing to the 6oul. How
seldom it is you find one mer
chant speaking well of a merchant
in the same lino of business. How
seldom it is you hear of a physician
speaking well of a phvsician on tho
same block. Oh, mv friends, the world is
large enough tor ail of us. Let U3 re
joice at the success of others. The next
best thing to owning a garden ourselve:
is to look over the fence and admire the
flowers. The next best thing to riding
in fine equipage is to stand on the street
and admire tho prancing span. The next
best thing to having a banquet given to
ourselves is having a banquet given to
our prodigal brother that ha3 come home
to his father s house.
Besides that, if we do not get as much
honor ana as much attention as others,
e ougnt io congratulate ourselves on
what wo escape in the way of assault,
Tho French general, riding on horseback
at the head of his troops heard a soldier
uiiu bv, it 13 very easy ior
tho general to command us forward
wlule he rides and we walk. " Then the
general dismounted and compelled the
complaining soldier to get on the horse.
Coming through a ravine a bullet from a
sharpshooter struck the rider and he fell
dead. Then the general said, "How
much safer it is to walk than to ride."
Once more I have to tell vou that this
senior brother of my text stands for the
pouting Christian. While there is so
much congratulation within doors, the
hero of my text stands outside, the
corners of his mouth drawn down, look
ing as he felt miserable. I am triad his
lugubrious physiognomy did not spoil the
festivity within. How many pouting
Christians there are in our dav Chris
tians who do not like the music of our
churches, Christians who do not like the
hilarities of the young pouting, pout
ing, pouting at society, pouting at the
fashions, pouting at the newspapers.
pouting at the church, pouting at the
government, pouting at the high heaven.
Their spleen is too large, their liver does

There are two cruet3 in their caster al

and red pepper! Oh, come away from
that mood. Stir a little saccharine into

dissoluteness of the younger son, avoid
also the irascibility and the petulance and
the pouting spirit of the elder son, and
imitate the father, who had embraces for

the returning prodigal and coaxing
words for tho tplonetio malcontent.
Ah! the face of this pouting elder son
is put before us in order that wo might
better see the radiant and forgiving faco
of tho father. Contrasts are mighty.
The arli.it in sketching the field of Water
loo, years after the battle, put a dove in
tho mouth of tho cannon. Raphael, in
one of hij cartoons, beido the faco of
a wretch put tho faco of a happy and
innocent child. And so the sour faco of
this irascible and disgusted elder brother
is brought out in order that in tho
contrast wo may better understand tho
forgiving and tho radiant faco of God.
That is the meaning of it that God is
ready to take back anybody that is sorry,
'to take him clear back, to take him back
forever, and forever, and forever, to take
him back with a loving hug, to put a
kiss on his parched Up, a ring on his
bloated hand, an easy shoo on his chafed
foot, a garland on his bleeding temples,
and heaven in his soul. Oh, i fall flat on
that mercy! Come, my brother, anil let
us get down into the dust, resolved never
to rise until tho Father's forgiving hand
shall lift us.
Oh, what a God wo have! Bring your
doxologies. Come, earth and heaven,
and join in the worship. Cry aloud.
Lift the palm branches! Do you not feel
tho Father's arm around your neck? Do
you not feel the warm breath of your
Father against your chcok? Surrender,
younger son! Surrender, elder son! Sur
render all! Oh, go in today and sit down
at tho banquet. Take a slice of tho fat-,
tened calf, and afterwards, when you aro
seated, with ono hand in the hand of tho
returned brother, and the other hand in
tho hand of tho rejoicing father, let your
heart beat time to the clapping of the
cymbal and the mellow voice of the flute.
