HttHT IN THE NIGHT
Words of Comfort for the Gloomy
and Suffering.
Text from Which Dr. Tnlmnac Una
Drawn 111 Sermon How the
UvenliiK ( the ChrUtlnn'a
Life Will lie Ilrlnlilcned.
tCopyrlght, 1002, by Louis Klopsch, N. Y.
Washington, Feb. 9.
In this subject Dr. Talmagc puts a
-show of gladness and triumph upon
passages of life that arc usually
thought to be somewhat gloomy; text,
Zecharinh 14:7: "At evening time it
shall be light."
While "night" In nil languages Is tho
symbol for gloom and suffering, It is
often really cheerful, bright nnd im
pressive. I speak not of such nights as
come down with no star pouring light
from above or silvered wave tossing up
light from beneath murky, hurtling,
portentous, but such as you often see
when the pomp and magnificence of
Heaven turn out on night pnrade, and
it seems as though the song which the
morning stars began so long ngo were
chiming yet among the constellations
and the sons of God were shouting for
joy. Such nights the snllor blesses
from the forecastle, nnd the trnpper
on vast prnlrle, nd the belated traveler
T)y the roadside, and the soldier from
the tent, earthly hosts gazing upon
Heavenly' and shepherds guarding
their flocks afield, while nngel hands
above them set the silver bells a-ring-ing:
"Glory to God In the highest and
on earth peace; good will toward men."
What a solemn nnd glorious thing
is night In the wildcrnessl Night
among the mountains! Night on the
ocean! Fragrant night among tropic
al groves! Flashing night amid arctic
severities! Calm night on Itoman cam
pagna! Awful night among the Cor
dilleras! Glorious night mid sea after
a tempest! Thank God for the night!
The moon and the stars which rule It
arc lighthouses on the coast toward
which I hope we are all sailing, ond
"blind mariners ore we if, with so many
beaming, burning, flnmlng glories to
guide us, we cannot And our way into
the harbor.
My text may well suggest that, as the
natural evening is often luminous, so
ft shall be light in the evening of our
eorrows, of old age, of the world's his
"tory, of the Christian life. "At even
time it shall be light."
The prophecy will be fulfilled in
the evening of Christian sorrow. For
a long time it is broad daylight. The
sun rides high. Innumerable actlvi
"ties go ahead with a thousand arms,
and the pickax struck a mine, nnd the
battery made n discovery, and the in
vestment yielded 20 per cent., nnd the
book came to its twentieth edition,
nnd the farm quadrupled in value, and
the sudden fortune hoisted to high po
sition, and the children were praised,
nnd friends without number swarmed
into the family hive, and prosperity
fang in the music and stepped in the
dance and glowed In the wine and ate
at the banquet, nnd all the gods of mu
sic and ease and gratification gnthered
around this Jupiter holding in his
bands so mnny thunderbolts of power.
But every sun must set, and the bright
est day must have its twilight. Sudden
ly the sky was overcast. The fountain
dried up. The song hushed. The wolf
broke into the family fold and carried
off the best lamb. A deep howl of woe
came crashing through the joyous sym
phonies. At one rough twang of the
band of disaster the harpstrings nil
broke. Down went the strong business
firm! Away went long established
credit! Up flew n flock of calumnies!
The new book would not sell! A pat
ent cculd not be secured for the inven
tion! Stocks sank like lend! The in
durance company exploded! "How
much;" soys the sherilT, "will you bid
for this piano? How much for this li
brary? How much for this family pic
ture? How much? Will you let it go
nt less than half price? Going going
gone!"
Will the grace of God hold one up in
such circumstances? What has become
-of the great multitude of God's chil
dren who have been pounded of the
flail and crushed under the wheel nnd
trampled under hoof? Did they lie
down In the dust, weeping, walling nnd
gnashing their teeth? Did they when
they were nilllcted like Job eurse Clod
nnd want to die? When the rod of
fatherly chastisement struck them,
did they strike back? llecnuse they
found one bitter cup on the tablo of
God's supply, did they upset the whole
-table? Did they kneel down nt their
-empty money vault and sny: "All my
-treasures are gone?" Did they stnnd
by the grave of their dead, snylng:
"There never will be n resurrection?"
Did they bemoan their thwnrted
plans and sny: "The stocks are down;
"Would God I were dead?" Did the night
:of their disaster come upon them moon
less, starless, dank and howling,
.smothering and choking their life out?
Ho, nol At eventide it was light. The
swift promises overtook them. The
eternal constellations, from their cir
cuit about God's throne, poured down
nn infinite luster. Under their shin
ing the billows of trouble took on
crests nnd plumes of gold and jasper
Aiitf amethyst and flames. All the trees
of life rustled in the midsummer of
God's love. The night blooming assur
ances of Christ's sympathy filled all the
atmosphere with Heaven. The soul at
every step seemed to start up from its
fret bright winged joys, warbling
Heavenward. "It is good that 1 have
been oflllcted?" crlen David. "The Lord
gave, and the Lord hnth taken away!"
exclaims Job. "Sorrowful, yet always
TPJoicing," says St. Paul. "And God
ehall wipe away all tears from their
eyes!" cxo'.alms John In npocnlytlc vi
sion. At eventlme it was light. Light
from the cross! Light from promises!
Ilght from the throne! Streaming,
joyoitB, outgushlng, everlasting light I
AgnlT the text shall find fulfillment
In the time of old age. It Is a grand a myrlnd voices, a myrlntl harps, a
thing to be young, to have the sight . myriad thrones, n myrlnd palaces
elenr ntid the hearing ncutc nnd the there dashes upon us "Hosunnal
step clastic and all our pulses marching , Hosannat" "Throw back the shut
on to the drumming of a stout heart. t,ers nnd let tho Btm In," said dying
Midlife and old age will be denied many ! gcovlllo McCullum, ono of my Sab
of us, but youth we all know what j bath school boys. "Throw bnek tho
thnt is. Those wrinkles were not al- I Bhutters nnd let the sun In." You
ways on your brow; that snow wns not
always on your head; that brawny mus
cle did not always bunch your arm;
you have not always worn spectacles.
Grave and dignified ns you now are, you
onco went coastlngdown tothehlllsldo
or threw off your hot for the race or
sent the ball flying sky high. But youth
will not always lost. It stays only long
enough to give us exubi rant spirits and
broad shoulders for burden carrying
and an arm with which to battle our
way through dlillcultles. Life's path,
If you follow It long enough, will come
under frowning crag nnd cross trem
bling cnuse wny. Blessed old nge, If you
let It come naturally ! You cannot hide
it. You may try to cover the wrinkles,
but you cannot cover the wrinkles. If
the time has come for you to beold.be
not ashamed to be old. The grandest
things in all the universe are old old
mountains, old rivers, old seas, old
stars nnd nn old eternity. Then do not
be nshnmed to be old unless you are
older than the mountains and older
than the stars.
How men nnd women will lie! They
sny they nre 40, but they nrc CO. They
sny they nro 20, but they nre 30. They
sny they nre CO, but they nre 80,
Glorious old ago If found in tho wny
of righteousness. How beautiful the
old nge of Jacob, leaning on tho top
of his staff; of John Quincy Adntns,
fnlllng with tho harness on; of Wash
ington Irving, sitting, pen In hand,
nmid the scenes himself hnd mode
classical; of John Angell James, to
the last proclaiming the Gospel to the
masses of Hirmlnghnm; of Theodore
Frellnghuysen, down to feebleness
nnd emaciation devoting his Illustri
ous fnculties to the kingdom of God.
At eventide it wns light!
See thnt you do honor to the nged.
A philosopher stood nt the corner of
the street dny nfter day, snylng to the
pnsserby: "You will be nn old mnn;
you will be an old mnn. You will be
nn old woman; you will be nn old
woman." People thought that he wns
crazy. I do not think thnt he wns.
Smooth the wny for thnt mother's
feet; they hnvc not many more steps
to take. Steady those tottering
limbs; they will soon be nt rest. Plow
not up thnt fnce with nny more wrin
kles; trouble nnd enre have marked
it full enough. Thrust no thorn into
thnt old heart; it will soon censo to
bent. "The eye thnt mockcth Its
father and rcfuscth to obey Its moth
er the ravens of the vnlley shall pick
it out, nnd the young engles shall ent
it." The bright morning and hot
noondny of life have passed with
many. It is four o'clock, five o'clock,
six o'clock! The shndows fall longer
and thicker nnd faster. Seven o'clock,
eight o'clock! The sun has dipped
below the horizon; the warmth has
gone out of the nlr. Nine o'clock, fen
o'clock! The heavy dews nre fnlllng;
the activities of life's day are nil
hushed; it Is time to go to bed.
Eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock! The
pntrlnreh sleeps the blessed sleep,
the cool Bleep, the long sleep. Heitv
en's messengers of liglit hnvc kindled
bonfires of victory nil over the henv
ens. At eventide it is light. Light.
I wnnt to see John Howard when
tho Inst prisoner Is reformed; I wnnt
to see Florence Nightingale when
the hiRt wibcr wound has stopped
hurting; I wnnt to see William
Penn when the Inst Indian hns been
civilized; I wnnt to sou John Hubs
when the hist flumo of persecution
bus been extinguished; I wnnt to
see John llunyan after the lust pil
grim baa como to thu goto of tho
celestial city nbove nil, I want to
see Jesus nfter the lust suint has
his throne nnd hns begun to slug
his triumph.
You have watched the calm
ness nnd tho glory of tho evening
hour. The laborers have como from
the field; the heavens nro glowing
with an indescribable effulgence, ns
though the sun in departing hnd
forgotten to shut the guto nfter It.
All the beauty of cloud nnd icnf
swims in the lake. For n stnr In tho
sky, a star in tho water; heaven
nbovo nnd heaven beneath. Not a
leaf rustling or u bee humming or n
grasshopper chirping. Silence in tho
meadow, slleneo among tho hills.
Thus bright nnd beautiful shnll bo
the evening of the world. Tho henta
of enrthly conflict are cool; tho
glory of heaven Alls all tho scene
with love, joy nnd peace. At even
time it Is light light!
Finally, my text shall And fulfill
ment nt the end of tho Christian's
life. You know how short a winter's
dny is nnd how little work you enn
do. Now, my friends, life is a short
winter's dny. The mm rises nt eight
and sets at four. Tho birth angel
and the death angel fly only n little
way apart. DnptlKin and burial are
near together. With ono hand tho
mother rocks tho cradlo and with the
other she touches a grave.
I went Into tho house of ono of
my parishioners on Thanksgiving
day. The little child of tho hounc
hold was bright nnd glnd, nnd with
it I bounded up nnd down tho hall.
Christmas day came, and tho light of
that household had perished. Wo
stood, with black book, rending over
tho grave, "Ashes to nshes, dust to
dust."
But I hurl nwny this dnrkness. I
ennnot hnvo you weop, Thnnks be
unto God, who giveth us tho victory,
nt eventlme it shnll bo llghtl I hnvo
seen many Christians die. I never
saw any of them die in darkness.
What If tho billows of death do rise
nbove our girdle, who does not love
to bathe? What though other lights
do go out In tho blnst, what do we
want oi tnem wuen nu mo gaicn m i -' -----I
glory swing open before us and from '10 L'otirts
can see Paul putting on robes nnd
w'ngs of ascension ns ho exclaims:
"I have fought tho good flghtl I
have finished my course! I hnvo
kept tho fnlth!"
Hugh McKoll went to one side of
the scaffold of martyrdom and cried:
"Farewell sun, moon and stars!
Farewell nil eorthly dcllghtst"- then
went to the other side of tho scaf
fold and cried: "Welcome, God nnd
Fnthor! Welcome, sweet Jesus
Christ, the Mediator of the covenant!
Welcome, deathl Welcome, glory!"
A minister of Christ in Philadelphia,
dying, snld In his Inst moments: "I
move into tho light!" They did not
go down doubting nnd fearing nnd
shivering, but their bnttlccry rnng
through nil the caverns of the scpul
chcr nnd wns echoed bnek from nil
tho thrones of heaven: "O denth,
where is thy sting? O grave, where
is thy victory?"
I saw n beautiful being wandering
up nnd down the earth. She touched
the aged, and they became young;
shn touched the poor, and they bc
enme rich. I snld: "Who is this
beautiful being wnndering up nnd
down the enrth?" They told me thnt
her nnmo wns Death. Whnt n strange
thrill of joy when the pnlsled Chris
tian begins to use his arm again,
when tlie blind Christina begins to
see again, when the deaf Christian
begins to henr again, when the poor
pilgrim puts his feet on such pave
ment nnd joins In such company nnd
hns a free scat in such n great tem
ple! Hungry men no more to hunger,
thirsty men no more to thirst, weep
ing men no more to weep, dying men
no more to die. Gather up all sweet
words, all jubilant expressions, all
rapturous exclamations; bring them
to me, and I will pour upon them till
stupendous theme of the soul's disen-
uirniimcuu un, tue joy oi inc spirn
ns it shall mount up toward the
throne of God, shouting: "Free!
Free!" Your eye hns gnzrd upon the
garniture of earth and heaven, but
eye hnth not seen it; your ear has
caught harmonies uncounted and in
describable caught them from harp's
trill and bird's carol nnd waterfall's
dash and ocean's doxology but. enr
hath not heard it. How did those
blessed ones get up into the light?
What hammer knocked oil their
chains? Who gave them wings? Ah,
eternity is not long enough to tell
it, seraphim have not cnpaclty enough
to realize it the marvels of redeem
ing love! Let the palms wave; let
the crowns glitter; let the anthems
ascend; let the trees of Lebanon clap
their hands they cannot tell the hnlf
of it. Archangel before the throne,
thou fnliest! Sing on, praise on, ye
hosts of the glorified, and if with
your scepters you ennnot reach it and
with your songs you cannot express
it then let all the myriads of the
saved unite in the exclamation: "Je
sus! Jesus! Jesus!"
There will be n password nt tho
gnto of heaven. A grent multitude
come up and knock nt tho cate.
The gatekeeper says, "The password."
They sny: "Wo have no password.
We were great on enrth, nnd now wo
como up to be great In heaven." A
voice from within nnswers, "I never
knew you." Another group come up
to tho gnto of heaven nnd knock.
Tho gatekeeper says, "Tho pass
word." They say: "Wo have no
password. Wo did n great mnny
noble things on enrth. Wo endowed
colleges nnd took euro of tho poor."
The voice from within snys, "I never
knew you." Another group come up
to the gnto of henven nnd knock.
The gatekeeper snys, "Tho pass
word." They nnswor: "Wo wero
wanderers from God. nnd deserve to
die, but we henrd tho voice of
Jesus " "Aye, oye," snys tho
gatekeeper, "that is the password!
Lift up your heads, ye everlasting
gates, and let these people como in."
They go in nnd surround tho throne,
jubilant forever!
Ah, do you wonder thnt the Inst
hours of the Christian on enrth nro
illuminated by thoughts on tho com
ing glory? Light In tho evening.
The medicines may bo bitter. The
pnin mny bo sharp. Tho parting
mny bo heartrending. Yet light In
tho evening. As all the stnrs of tho
night sink their anchors of pearl In
hike nnd river nnd sen so the waves
of Jordnn shnll bo Illuminated with
the down Hashing of the glory to
come. Tho dying soul looks up at
the constellations. "Tho Lord is my
light nnd my snlvatlon; whom shnll
I fear?" "Tho Lamb which is in tho
midst of tho throne shnll lend them
to living fountains of water, and God
shnll wipe away all tears from their
eyes."
Close the eyes of the departed
one; enrth would Beem tnmo to its
enchanted vision. Fold tho hands;
life's work is ended. Veil tho fuce;
it hns been transfigured.
Mr. Toplndy in his dying hour said,
"Light." Coming nearer the expiring
moment, lie exclaimed with illumi
nated countcnnncc, "Llghtl" In tho
Inst instant of his breathing he lifted
up his hands and cried: "Light!
Light!"
Thank God for light In tho even
ing! Griipliophotie Iteoord of "Will.
A wenlthy Hussion died not longngo
