That is the meaning of tlei text when ioi says, 'l answered tuee in the secret place of thunder." Now thunder, all up and down the Hible. is the symbol of power. The Kantian plague of hail was accompanied with this lull diapason of tho heavens. A hile Sam uel and his men were making a burnt offer ing of a lamb, and the Philistines were about to attack t hem, it was by terrorizing thun der tiny were discs imtited. Joh,- who waS a combination of tho I hmte-que and the Mib tonic, was solomnized on this reverberation tu" the heaven-, an 1 crie 1, "The t tinn ier of His power, who can understand'?' and he ci alien es the universe by saving, "Canst thou thunder with a voice like Him?" and he throws Rosa P.onheur's "Horso Fair" into the hade hy the l'.ible photozrapli of a war- horse, when h" describes his neck as "clothed with thunder.'' liwnusj of the power of James and John, they were called "the sous of thunder." The law fdven op the haaaltie crans of Mount Sinai was emphasized with this cloudy ebullition. The skies all arouu f about St. John at Patmos were full of the thunder of war, and the thunder of Christly triumph, and the thunder or. resurrection, and the thunder of eternity. J'ut w hen my text says, I answered theo In the secret place of thunder," it suggest there m some mystery about the thunder. Jo tli'i ancients tlwcausa of this bombard in tin earth with loud sound must have been more of a mystery than It is to ua. The lightnings, which were to them wild mon tders ranging; through the skies, in our time have been domesticated. We harness elec tric. tv to vehicles and we cuce it in lamps. and every schoollxiy knows something about the fact that it is the pasacre of electricity lrom clou 1 to cloud that makes tho heavenly racket which we. call thunder. But, after nil that chemistry has taught the world there are mysteries abjut the skyey reson ance and my txt, true in Xhe time of the r.saimist, is tru-j now unl always will be tni", that there is acme secret about the place of thunder. To one thine; known about the thunder there are a hundred things not known. Alter all the scientific batteries have been doing their work for a thousand years to 'come und learned men have discoursed to the utmost alnut atmospheric electricity and magnetic electricity and galvanic electricity and tlnrniotie electricity and frictionat electricity and positive, electricity and nega tive electricity my text will tie as Fugestive as it is to-day, when it speaks of tho secret place of thunder. Now right along by a natural law there is always a t-piritual law, as there is a secret p;ee ot moral thunder. In other words, the religious pcivver that you see abroa I in the" church in the world has a hld iny: phice. and in ninny cases it is never dis covered at all. I will use a similitude. can gi ve only a dim outline' of a particular cHse, for many of th remarkable circum htaiices I havij forgotten. Many years ago there was a lare church. It was character k: -d by strange and unaccountable conver sions. . There were no great revivals, lint individual caes of spiritual arrest and trans formation. A i ung man satin one of the front pew.. He was a graauat of Yale, brilliant as th" north star and notoriously dissolute. Every -bo ly knew liim and Hko i him for ids geni ality, teat depli.ru i his moral errantry. io please his parents he was every Sabbath morning in cnurcu . me nay mere was a ringing ol the dorr-b.ll of the pastor of thar chundi, and that ycung'man, whelmed wita repientaiKv, implored prayer and advice, an 1 - passed into comp'e'e retormation of heart and life. All th n ighbjrlioiKl was aston-1 ished and asked, "Why was this''" His father and inotrier lia i said nothing to him at cut his soul's weilare. Lh another aisln of the same church sat an old miser. H-' j i i i his pew rent, but wa hard on the pi !, an I ha t no inter. st in any philanthropy. Piles of mouy! An 1 i pie s-'ii 1, " W nut'a struggle he will h. v when he quits this li'eTo part with his bond and mortgages." oay he wrot-p to his minister: " l'leas' tu-jcall immediat"lv . 1 have a matter of great importance about whie!t I went t -oe vcu." When the pas to. -came in the man u! i nat speak for emo tion, but after awhi.e h- gathered s?lf con trol enough to siv; "1 hav livei for thi- world too Ion. . . . 4 . - - 1 want t j know if vou think I ran 1 e avef. find, if so, 1 wish you would tell me how.-' I'ron hi soul the hcLt soon tiawn-'d, nn 1 tiie oid iuisr, not only revolutions,:. 1 in 1; .-.r: but in life.

Avere ever given, ; cl. irch the uevei . :' j'ath -s, and as tc v she thoughl a cards, tbeatert, t -were to her tht V, rounds of cot.y .yi highest satisfact:o:i. On dar a neighbor s-nt in a visiting cird, and this lady came down th stnir-s in tir and told the nh"!f story of how -he ha 1 n t s!eof for -ev.-r.4l nighty, an I sh feared he " as g'-mg to 1 -e her vuUn 1 oh- wondere 1 if some tw would not come around j;n i pray with her. From that time her entire de tu.iaor was changed, an 1 though she' was not called upon to Racrifice anv of her ameni ties of life, she consecrated her beaut v. her soctai positron, her family, her all to God an the church and usefulness. Everybody said in regard to her: "Have you notice'! the chanpe, and what in the world caused it?" and no one could make satisfactory explana tion. In the cour?e of two rear?, though there was no general awakening in that church, many such i.o!ated cases of such unexpected and unaccountable conversion? took place. The very people whom no one thought would te effected bv such considerations were converted. The pastor and the officer of the church were on the lookout for the solution of this religious phenomenon. Where i it," thev sai l, "and who hi it and what is it!" At last the discovery was made and all was exolainei. A poor old Christian woman standing in the vestibule of the church one Sunday morning, trying to get her breath again before she went no staira 10 tne gaiiery, dear! the inquiry and told the secret. For years she ha 1 been in th habit of concentrating all her prayers for particu'ar pr-ons in that church. She would see some man or some woman present, and, though she might not know the person's name, she would pray for that person until he or she was cou verted to (rod. All her prayers were for that one person iust that one. She wairea ana waited for communion days to se when the candidates for member-nip stood up whether her prayers had been efTct- ual. It turne J out that these marvelous ins tances of conversion were the result of that old woman's pravers as she sat in the gallerv Sabbath by Sabbath, b.mt aud wizened and poor aiid unnoticed. A littie cloud of consecrated humanitv hovering in the callorieg. That ws tha secret place ot the thunder. There Is soma hidden, unknown, mysterious source of almost alt the moral aud religious power demonstrated. Not one out of a indlion not one out of ten million prayers ever strikes a human ear. On public ncaisions a minister of religion voices the supplications of an assemblage, but the pravers of all th. gregation are in silence. There is not a second in a eenturv when pravers are not ascending, hut myriads of iheu ar jnot oven as loud as a vhisper, for Go i hears a thought as plainly as a vocalization. That silence of supplication hemispheric and perpetual is the secret nlaoe of thunder. In the winter of lTo wj wire worshiping; in the Brooklin Academy of Music in the in terregnum of churches. We ha I the usual great au ilences, but I was oppressed beyond measure by the fact that 'conversions were not more numerou--. One Tue-dav I in vitad to my house nvj o'M, cons -cratod Christian rneu all of them gone now, except Father Pearson, and he, in blindness and old age, waiting for th i -Master's call to coaio up higher. These old men came, not knowtn? why I had invited them. I tok thmi to tho top room of my house. I said to them:"I have. called you here for special prayer. I am in an agony for a great turning t uoi of the people. We have vast muitituies iri atten dance end they are attentive and respectful, but; I cannot see that tb v are saved. Tet us kneel down and each one prav and not leave this room uutil we are all assured that the bless-nig will come au.l bus come." It was a most intense crying unto God. I said, "Brethren, let this meeting be a secret," and they sai l it would be. That Tuesday night special service ended. On tha foltowlug Friday night occurred the usual prayer meeting. No one knew of what had occurred hn Tuesday night, but the meeting was unusually thronged. Men accustomed to pray in public in great com posure broke down under emotion. The people were in tears. There were sobs and silences and solemnities of such unusual power that the worshipers looked into each other's face:s, as much as to say, "What does all this mesn?" And when the follow ing Sabbath came, although we were in a secular place, over four hundred arose for prayers, aud a religious awakening took place that made that winter memorable for time and for eternity. There may be in this building many who were brought to (iod during that great ingathering, but few of them know that the uoper room in my house on Quincy street, w here those five old Christian men poured out their souls before God, was the secret place of thunder. The, day will come God hastens it when people will lind out the velocity, "the ma jesty, the multipotenco of prayer.

Webrag about our .telephones, but here is something that beats the telephone m utterance and reoly. for God says, lierore thev call, 1 will hea- vv e brai? about the phonograph, in which man can speak, and his words and the tone of his voice can be kept for uges, and by the turning of a crank the words may come forth upon the ears of aaother century, but prayer allows us to spt;ak words into the ears of everlasting remembrance, and on the other side of all eternities they wdll be 'heard. Oh, ye who are wasting your breath, and wasting your brains, and wasting, your nerves, and wasting your lungs w ishhig for this good and that goo I for the churcu? aud j the world, why do you not go into tho 6ecret place of thunder. "But," says some one, "that is a beautiful theory, yet it does not work in my case, for I am in u cloud of trouble, or a clou t of sickness, or a cloud of persecution, or a cloud ot poverty, or a cloud of bereavement, or a cloud of perplexity." How glad I am that you told me that. That is exactly the place to which my. text refers. It was from a cloud that God answered Israel the Cloud over the chasm cut through the Red Sea the cloud that was light to tin Israelites and darkness to the Egyptians. It was from a cloud, a tremendous cloud, that God madi reply. It was a cloud that was the secret place of thunder-. So you cannot getaway lrom the consolation of my text by talking that way. Let all tho people under .1 clou-t htar it. "I answered thee in the secret piaeo of thunder." This subject h !ps nie to explain porno tilings you nave not unJ.r stool about men and women, and there are muitituies of them, nd tho mu'titu le is multiplying by tho minute. Many of them have not a superabundance of e lueation. If you had their brain in a post-mortem' examination, and you could weigh it, it would not w ugh any heavier than the average. They have 1101, anything especially i nprs-ive 1:1 per sonal o-ppearane . They are not very t'uenft of tougue.

Two funerals after awhile not more than two vears apart, for it is 'seldom that there is more than that lapse of time between lathers going and mothers going two funerals put out of sight the old folk?. But where are the children? The daughters are in homes where they are incarnations of good sense, industry and piety. Tho sons, perhaps one a farmer, another a merchant another a mechanic, another a minister of the Gospel, useful, consistent, admired, honored. What a power for good those seven sons and daughters ! Where did they get the power? From the schools, and the ineminanes, and the colleges? Oh, no, though these may have helped. From their superior mental endowment? No, I do not think they had unusual mental caliber. From ac cidental circumstances? No, tbey had noth inz of what is called astounding goo 1 luck. I think we will take a train and ride to the depot nearest to. the homestead from which those men und women started. The train halts. Let us stop a few minutes at the Vil lage gravevard andsee f he tombstone of t.h pareiiis. x es, coe one was eeventy-rour years of ago and the other was seventy-two; and the epitaph says that "after a useful life they died a Christian deth." How appro priately the Scripture passage cut on the mother's tombstone, "She hath done what she could." And how beautiful tha passage cut oh the father's toaibstoue. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Ixrd, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them." On over the country road we ride the road a little rough, for the spring weather is not quite settled, and once down in a rut it is hard to get the wheels out again with out breaking tne shafts, nut at laAt w come to tne iane in front of tne farmhouse. Let me get out of the wagon and open the gate while you drive through. Hero is the arbor under which those boys and girls many vears ago used " to ptay. But it is quite out of order now, for the property is in other hands. Yonder is tho orchard where they used to thrash the trees for apples, sometimes before they were quite ripe. .1 nere is mow where tbey nuuteu lor .-fr'.q rffor e.itr I her a in rh ilrkoruill upon which they used to sit. There is the -ISIS" - - - . ... - ' ' " " room in which they had family prayers and where they all knelt the father there, the mother there and the boys and girls ther.?. H have sot to the fountain of pious and gracious influences at last. That is the place that decided those seven earthly and im mortal destinies. Behold! Behold! That is the secret Dlaoe of thunder. Rovs nrn k1 00m more than their fathers will let them tie. Girls are seldom more than their mothers will letth-m bo. But thera come times when it seems that parents cannot control their children. There come time in a boy's life when ho thinks he knows more than his father does, and I remember mow tiwit I knew more at fifteen years of age than I have ever known since. There come times in a girl's life when the thinks her mother is notional and does not understand what Is proper and best, and the sw e't child says, 'Oh, pshaw ." and she lougs for the time when she will not have to be dictated to, and she goes out of the door or goeis to bed with pouting Una, and these mothers remember for thamselvea that they knew more at fourteen years of age than they have ever known since. But, father and mother, do not think vou have iost vour innuence over your child. You have a re source of prayer that puts the sympathetic and omnipotent Gou into your parental un dertaking. Do not waste your time in read ing flimsy books about ; the best ways to bring up children. Go into the secret place of thunder. At nine o'clock Wednesday morning, June 15 nxt, on the steamer City of New York, I expect to sail for Liverpool, to bo gone un til September. It is in acceptance of many invitations that I am going 011 a preaching tour. I expect to devote my time to preach ing the Gospel in England, Scotland, Ireland and Sweden. I want to see how many souls I can gather for the kingdom of Qtd. Those countries have for many years belonged to rny parish, aud I go to apeak to thorn and shake hands with them. I want to visit more thoroughly than before those regions from which my ancestors came, Wales and Scotland. " But who Is sufficient for the work I under take? I call upon you who have long been my coadjutors to go into the secret place of the Almighty, and every day from now until my work Is done on the other side of the sea, to have me in your prayers. In proportion to the intensity and continuance and faith of the prayers, yours and mine, will be the results. If you remember me in the devotional circle, that will be well, but what I most want is your importuning, your wrestling supplication in the secret place of thunder.
