De Witt Talmage took for his subject:
1.-The Burden Bearer" and his text was
from Psalms ". %: Cast thy burden
upon the Lord, and He shall sustain
thee" He said:
David was here taking his own medi-
cine. If anybody had on him heavy
weights, David had them, and yet out
of his own experience he advised you
and me as to the best way of getting
rid of burdens This is "a world of bur
den bearing. Coming into the house
OF prayer there may be no sign of sad
ness and sorrow, but where is the man
who has not a conflict? Where is the
soul that has not struggle? And there
is not day in all the year when my
text is not gloriously appropriate and
there is never an audience assembled
on the planet where the text does not
fit the occasion: ''Cast thy burden
upon the Lord and He shall sus-
tain thee" In the far east wells
OF water are SO infrequent that when
man owns a we'll he has property of
very great value, and sometimes bat
ties have been fought for the possession
OF one well of water; but there is one
well that every man owns, deep well,
a perennial well, well of tears If
man has not burden on this shoulder
he has a burden on the other shoulder.
The day left home to look after my
self and for myself, in the wagon my
father sat driving, and he said that day

my life: Dewitt, it is always safe to
trust God have many time come
to crisis of difficulty. You may know
that, having been sick for fifteen years,
it was easy thing for me to support
a family; but always God came to the
rescue
81 remember the time" he said,
when didn't know what to do, and I
saw man on horseback riding up the
farm lane, and he announced to me that
1 had been nominated for the most
lucrative Office in the gift of the people
of the county; and to that office I was
elected, and God in that way met all
my wants, and tell you it is always
safe to trust Him" o, my friends,
what we want is a practical religion.
The religion people have is so high up
you cannot reach it.
had friend who entered the life OF
an evangelist. He gave up lucrative
business in Chicago, and he and his wife
finally came to severe want. He told
me that in the morning at prayers he
said: 80, Lord, thou knOwest we
have not a mouthful of food in
the housed Help me, help usr'
And he started out on the street, and
"a gentleman met him and said: 81 have
been thinking of you for a good while.
You know I am flour merchant. II
you won't be offended. should like tc
send you barrel of flour" My friend
cast his burden on the Lord and the
Lord sustained him.
In the straits of Magellan have been
told there is a place where, whichever
way a ship captain puts his ship, he
finds the wind against him, and there
are men who all their lives have been
running in the teeth of the wind and
which way to turn they do not know.

burden upon the Lord and He shall
sustain thee"
First-There are great many men
who have business burdens When we
see a man hurried and perplexed and
annoyed in business life, we are apt to
say: HE ought not to have attempted
to carry so much" All! that man NAV

plants business he does not know
what will be its outgrowths, what will
be it roots, what will be its branches

You hear that it is RvRrice which drives
these men of business through the
street, and that is the commonly &C
.-cepted idea I do not believe a word o
it The vast multitude Of these bust
ness men are toiling on for others
To educate their children, to pu

holds, to have something left so wher
they pass ont of this life their wives
and children will not have to go to thu
