New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-06-06

ciate what the engineer did why can you
not appreciate the grander work doIe by
A every Sabbatl.-school teacher this afternoon?
! Oh,my friends, / want to impress upon myself
i and upon yourselves that it is not the num-
I Der of talents we possess, but the use we
| make of them.
God has a royal family in the world Now,
| if should ask, Who are the royal families
of history" you would say, HI Use of Haps-
burg, house of Stuarts, house of BourbonS.,
/ They lived IN palaces and had great equip
age. But who are the Lords royal family
Some OF them may serve you in the house.
hold, some OF them are in uniightad gaTrets,
some of them will walk this afternoon down
| the street, on their arm a basket of broken
food some of them are IN the almshonse,
despised and rejected of men, yet in the last
great day, while it will be found that some
OF us who Jared sumptuously every day are
/ hurled back into discontinue, there are the
| lame that will take the prey.
One step further: There are a great many
people discouraged about getting TO heaven.
/ You are brought up in good families, you
had Christian parentage, but you frankly
| tell me that YOU are a thousand miles away
from the right track.
| My brother, you are the one / want to
preach to this morning. I have been look
ing for you. Iwantto tell You how you got
astTay. 1t was not maliciousness on your
\ paih. IL Was pcludpS The SeDlaIfty
and soclability of your nature that YOU fell
| into sin. You wandered away from your
duty, you unconsciously left the house OF
God; you admit the gospel to be true, and
yet you have SO grievously and 50 pio.ong-
edly wandered you say rescue is imIossi-
| BILE.
| 1t would take a week to count up the
names OF those i'll heaven who We're on earth
!! worse than you tell me you are. They went
| the Whole round of iniquity, they disgraced
| the mselyes, they disgraced their household,
they despailed of return because their repl-
tation was gone, their property was gone,
everything was gone !; but in some hour like
this they heard the voice OF God and thew
themselves on the divine compassion, and
they lose up more than conquarors. And [
tell you there is the same chance for you.
That is one reason why like to preach this
gospel, so free a gospel, so tremendous a
gospel. Ittakes man all wrong and makes
him all right.
In a former settlement where I preached
of God, quit respectable circles, went into
all styles of sin, and was slain of his iniq-
uity. The day for his burial came, and his
body was brought into the house of God.
Some OF his comrades who had destroyed
him We're overheard along the street, on the
way to the burial, saying: S.Come. let us go
and hear Talmage damn this old sinnerw
Oh! had nothing but tears for the dead,
and / had nothing but invitations for the
living. You see / could not do otherwise.
''Christ Jesus came to seok and to save that
which Was lost" Christ in his dying prayer
said: Father, forgive them, y and that was
prayer Tor you and for me. Oh!start on
happy. The thirst of your soul will never
be slaked by the fountains Of sin, You turn
everywhere but to God for help. Right where
you are, call on Him. He knows you, He
knows all about you, He knows all the odds
| against which you have been contending in
life. Do not 90 to Him with a long rigma-
| 1ole OF prayer, but just look up and say:
'sHelp! Help'
But you say: .sAIy hand trembles so from
my designations, / can't even take hold Of a
hymnbook to sing Do net worry about
that, my brother; 1 will give out hymn at
the close sc familiar you can sing it without
Il book. But you say: THE wrong did
can't correct that wrong." You can correct
it. By the grace of God, go into the pres
ence of that one, and tue apologies you
ought to have made on ealtn make in
heaven.
"OhY' says some mar, elf / should try and
| do right, if | should turn away from my evil
doing unto the Lord I would be jostied, I
would be driven I, back; nobody would have
any sympathy for me.7 You are mistaken.
Here, in the presence OF the church on earth
aud heaven, l give you to-day tile right
hand of Christian fellowship. God sent me
here to-day to preach this and He sent you
here to hear this: s'Let the wicked forsake
hisway, and the upri ghteo,ls man his thought,
and let nm return unto the Lord, who will
have mercy, and ulto cur God who will
abundantly pardon" Though you may
have been the worst sinner you may become
the best saint and In the great day Of iudg-
ment it will be. found that sswhere sin
! abcuaded grace does much more abound"
| aud while the spoils Of an everlasting king
dom are being awarded for your pursuit, it
| will betound that the lame took the prey.
| Blessed be God that we are this Sabbath one
1 week nearer the obliteratlon OF all the in
| equities of this life and all lis disquietudes.
/ Years ago on boat on the North River the
pilot gave very sharp ring to the bell for
| the boat to slow up. The engineer attended
TO the machinery, and then lie camesup with
some alarm on deck to see what was the
matter. He saw it WAS a moonlightn chit and
there we've no obstacles in the way. He went
TO the pilot and said: why did you ring
| the bel in that way? Why do you want to
the pilot said to him: ''There is mist
gathering on the river; don't you see that?
and there is NIGHT gathering darker and dark
! er. and | can't see the way y Then the en-
glneer, looking around and seeing it was
bright moonlight, looked into the face of
4 The pliotsand saw that he Was dying, and
then that he was dead.
GOD grant that when our last moment
co..les we way be found at outpost doing
our whole duty; and when the nists of the
river Of death gather on our eyei1ds may
the good Pilot take the wheel from our hands
and guide'us into the calm harbor of eternal
rest!. !
Drop the anchor, furl the sail,
i'm safe within the vale.
