In the Hand* of < hrGl In the Pas

Utld the New Fold.
Rev. T. DeWitt 'Talmage in the fol
lowing sermon presents a glowing pas
toral scene to the mind’s eye. The
text is:
The Lord is my -hcphcrJ. — P-alm-. xxili., 1.
What with post and rail fences, and
our pride in Southdown. Astrakhan
and Flemish varieties of sheep, there
is no use now of the old-time shepherd.
Such an one had abundance of oppor
tunity of becomijig a poet, being out of
doors 12 hours the day and oft-times
waking up iu the night oil the hills.
If the stars, or the torrents, or the sun,
or the Howers had anything" to say, In*
was very apt to hear it. The Ettrick
shepherd of Scotland, who afterwards
took his seat in the brilliant circle of
Wilson and Lockhurt, got his wonder
ful poetic inspiration in the ten years
in which he was watching the Hocks of
.Mr. Laidlaw. There is often a sweet
poetry iu the rugged prose of the
Scotch shepherd. One of these Scotch
shepherds lost his only son, and he
knelt down in prayer, ami was over
heard to say: “Oh. Lord, it has seemed
good in 'Thy province to take from me
the staff of my right hand at the time
when to us sand blind mortals I seemed
to be most in need of it: and how I
shall climb up the hill of sorrow and
auld age without it, Thou mayst ken,
but 1 dinna,”
David, the shepherd boy. is watch
ing his father's sheep. They are past
uring on the very hills where after
ward a Lamb was born of which you
have heard much: “The Lamb of God.
which taketh away the sin of the
world." David, the shepherd boy. was
beautiful, brave, musical and poetic. 1
think he often forgot the sheep in his
reveries. There in the solitude he
struck the harp string that is thrilling"
through all ages. David, the boy. was
gathering the material for David the
poet and David the m in. Like other
boys. David was fond of using his
knife among the saplings, and he had
noticed the exuding of the juice of the
tree; and when he became a man he
said: “Tin* trees of th? Lord are full
of sap.’’ David, the boy, like other
boys, had been fond of hunting the
birds’ nests, and he had driven the old
stork off the nest to find how many
eggs were under her; and when he
became a. man he said: “As for the
.stork, the fir trees are. her house."
In his boyhood he had heard the
terrific thunder storm that frightened
the red deer into premature sickness:
and when he became a man he said:
‘‘The voice of the Lord maketh the
hinds to calve." David, the boy, had
lain upon his back looking up at the
stars and examining" the sky, and to
his boyish imagination the sky seemed
like a piece of divine embroidery, the
divine lingers working in the threads
of light and the beads of stars; and he
became a man and wrote: "When I
consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy
fingers." When he. became an old man,
thinking of the goodness of God. he
.seemed to hear the bleating of his
father s sheep across many years, and
to think of the time when he tended
them on the Bethlehem hills, and he
cries out in the text: “'The Lord is my
shepherd.”
If God W’ill help me. 1 will talk to
you of the shepherd’s plaid, the shep
herd’s crook, the shepherd’s dogs, the
shepherd’s pasture grounds, and the
shepherd’s flocks.
And first: The .shepherd’s plaid: It
would be preposterous for a man going
out to rough ami hesoiling work to put
lon splendid apparel. The potter docs
not work in velvet; the serving" maid
does not put on satin while toiling at
her duties; the shepherd does not wear
a splendid robe in which to go out
amidst the storms, and the rocks, and
the nettles; he puts on a rough apparel
appropriate to his exposed work. The
Lord our shepherd, coming out to hunt
the lost sheep, puts on no regal apparel,
but the plain garment of our humanity.
There was nothing" pretentious about
it. I know the old painters represent
1 a halo around the babe Jesus; but I do
i not suppose that there was any more
! halo about that child than about the
head of any other babe that was born
that Christmaseve in-Judea. Becoming
a man, lb* wore a seamless garment.
'The scissors and needle have done
nothing to make it graceful. I take
it to have been a sack with three holes
in it; one for the neck and two for the
arms. Although the gamblers quar
reled over it. that is no evidence of its
value. I have seen two rag pickers
quarrel over the refuse of an ash bar
rel. No; in the wardrobe of Heaven
He left the sandals of light, the gir
dles of beauty, the robes of power, and
put on the besoiled and tattered rai
ment of our humanity. Sometimes He
did not even wear the seamless robe.
What iR that hanging about the waist
of <’hrist? Is it a badge of authority?
: Is it a royal coat of arms? No, it is a
towel. The disciples’ feet are filthy
i from the walk on the long way, and
; are not tit to be put upon the sofas on
’ which they are to recline at the meal,
and so Jesus washes their fee! and
1 gathers them up in the towel to
: dry 'hem. 'The work of saving
■ this world was rough work', rug
ged work, hard work, and Jesus put
j ou the raiment, the plain raiment, of
i our flesh. The storms were to beat
! Him. the crowds were lo jostle Him.
1 theduiit was to .sprinkle Him. Ihe moli.s
(were to pursue Him. Ofi! shepherd
jof Israel! leave at horu. I’h\ brigin

raiment of our humanity; wears our
v.oes. ami while earth and Heaven
and hell stand amazed at, the abnega

J plaid:

| iins was a iol with a curve at the ,
end. which, when a sheep was going
astray, was thrown over its neck: and
in that way it was pulled back. W hen
the sheep were not going astray, the
ahepherd would often use it as a sort of
crutch, leaning ou it; but when the
sheep were out of the way.-the crook
was always busy pulling them back'.
All we, like sheep, have gone astray,
and ha<l it not been for the shepherd s
crook, we would have fallen long ago
over the precipice.
Here is a man who is making too
much money. He is getting very vain.
He savs: "After awiiile 1 shall be in
dependent of all the world. Oh. my
soul. eat. drink and be merry.’ Busi
ness disaster comes to him. What is
God going to do with him? Has God
anv grudge against him? Uh.no. God
is throwing over him the .shepherds
crook and pulling him back into better
pastures. Here is a man who has al
ways been well. He has never had any
sympathy for invalids, he calls them
coughing, wheezing nuisances.. After
aw hile sickness comes tohim. He does
not understand what God is going to
do with him. He says: “Is the l.ord
angry w ith me?" On.no. With the shep
herd’s crook he has been pulled back
into better pastures. Here s a happy
household circle. The parent does not
realize the truth that these children
are only loaned to him. and he forgets
from what source came his domestic
blessings. Sickness drops upon those
children, and death swoops upon a lit
tle one. He says, "Is God angry with
me?" No. His shepherd’s crook pulls
him back into better pastures. Ido
not know what would have become of
us if it had not been for the shepherd’s
crook. Oh, the mercies of our t roubles'.
You take up apples and plums from
under the shade of the trees, and the
very best fruits of Christian character
we find in the deep shade of trouble.
When 1 was on the steamer coming
across the ocean I got a cinder in my
eve, and several persons tried to get it
out very gently, but it could not be
taken out in thatway. 1 was told that
the engineer had a faculty in such
cases. 1 went to him. He put his
large, sooty hand on me. took a knife
and wrapped the lid of the eye around
the knife. I expected to be hurt very
much, hut without any pain, and in
stantly he removed the cinder. Oh,
there come times in our Chris
tian life, when our spiritual vision
is being spoiled, and all gentle appli
ances fail. Then there comes some
giant trouble, and, back-handed, lays
hold of us and removes that which
would have ruined our vision forever.
1 will gather all your joys together in
out" regiment of ten companies, and 1
will put them under Col. Joy. Then I
will gather all your sorrows together
iu one regiment of ten companies, and
put them under Col. Breakheart. Then
1 w ill ask: Which of these regiments
has gained for you the greatest spirit
ual victories? Certainly that under
Col. Breakheart.
In Ihe time of war. you may remem
ber, at the south and north, the ques
tion was whether the black troops
would tight; but when they were put
into the Struggle on both sides they did
heroically. In the great day of eter
nity it will be found that it was not the
1 white regiment of joy-, that gained
your greatest successes, but the black
. troops of trouble, misfortune and dis
: aster. Where you have gained one
spiritual success from your prosperity,
you have gained ten spiritual successes
i from your adversity.
'There is no animal that struggles
more violently than a sheep when you
cornei" it and catch hold of it. Down
I in the glen I see a group of men around
! a lost sheep. A plowman comes along
and seizes the sheep, and tries to pacify
it; but it is more frightened than ever.
; A miller comes along, puts down his
. grist, and caresses the sheep, and it
seems as if it would die of fright.
1 After awhile some one break's through
the ticket. He says: “Let me have
the poor thing.” He comes up and lays
his arms around the sheep, and it is
immediately quiet. Who is the last
man that comes? It is the shepherd.
Ah. my friends, be not afraid of the
shepherd’s crook. It is never used on
I you. save in mercy, to pull you back.
I The hard, cohl icebergs of trouble will
melt in tin* warm .stream of divine
sympathy.
There is one passage I think you mis
interpret: “The bruised reed He will
break. ” Do you know that the shep
herd in olden times played upon these
reeds? 'They wen* very easily bruised;
but when they were bruised they were
never mended. 'The shepherd could so
easily make another one, he would
snap the old one and throw it awav,
and get another. 'The Bible says it is
not so with our Shepherd. When the
music is gone out of a man’s soul. God
does not snap him in twain and throw
him away. He mends and restores.
’"'The bruised reed lie will not break.’’
; When, in the o’erhanzing heavens of fate,
| Tlie threatening.' cioal ■of darkness dwell,
Then let us humbly watch and wait;
It shall be well it shall b- well.
: And when the storm has passed away
An 1 Minshiu • smile - on II , > 1 an i f il,
How sweet to think, ho • sweet to say,
Jt has bet n well, it has been well.
Next I speak of the shepherd’s dogs.
I hey watch the straying sheep and
j drive them hack again. Every shep
herd has his dog from the nomads of
the Bible times down to the Scotch
herdsman watching his Hocks on the
Grampian hills. Our Shepherd employs
the criticisms and pers eiitions of tin*
world as His dogs. 'There are those,
you know, whos • whole work j s to
watch the inconsistencies of Christians,
and bark at them. If one of God’s
slu-cp gets astray, the world howls.
With more avidity than a shepherd s
dog ever caught a stray sheep
by tne flank* or lugged it by the ears,
worldlin;-- ,eize the Christian astrav.
H ought to do us good to know t hat we
ar<* Ihns aan’ched D'Aught to put us
on our guard. 'They can not bite us, if
w e tay in ir the Shepherd. The sharp
knile of worldly assault will only trim
the vinos until thev produce better
• '■ he more you pound marjoram
and rosemary, the sweeter they smell.
Ihe more dogs take after you. the
quicker you aa'Hl get to flu* irate.
You have noticed that different docks
01 sie (.j h ive diticicut murks upon
them: sometimes a red mark, sonio
times a blue murk, souiztimes a
straight mark, and sometimes a
crooked mark. The Lord, our Shep
herd, has a mark for His sheep. It ia
a red mark—the mark of the cross.
“Blessed are they that are persecuted
foi" righteousness sake, for theirs is
the kingdom of Heaven.
Furthermore, consider the shepherd s
pasture grounds. The old shepherds
used to take the sheep upon the moun
tains in the .summer, and dwell in the
valleys in the Avinter. The sheep being
out of doors perpetually, their wool
was better than if they had been kept
in the hot atmosphere of the sheep-cot.
Wells were dug for the sheep and cov
ered with large stones, in order that
the hot weather might not spoil the
water. And then the shepherd led his
Hock wherever he would; nobody dis
puted his right. So the Lord our Shep
herd has a large pasture ground. Ho
takes us in the summer to tlu* moun
tains ami in the w inter to the valleys.
Warm days of prosperity come, and we
stand on sun-gilt Sabbaths, and on
hills of transfiguration; and we are
so high up we can catch a glimpse of
the pinnacles of the heavenly city.
Then cold wintry days of trouble come,
and we go down intothe valley of sick
ness. want and bereavement, and we
say: "Is there any sorrow like unto my
sorrow?" But, blessed be God, the
Lord's sheep can find pasture any
where. Between two rocks of
trouble a tuft of succulent prom
ises; green pastures beside still
Avaters; long sweet grass between
bitter graves. You have noticed the
structure of the sheep’s mouth? It is
so sharp that it can take up a blade of
grass or clover-top from the very nar
rowest spot. And so God’s sheep can
pick up comfort where ot hers can gath
er none. “The secret of the Lord is
with them that fear Him.” Rich pas
ture, fountain-fed pasture, for all the
Hock of the Good .Shepherd.
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the Heavenly fields.
Or walk the golden streets.
Lastly: Consider the shepherd's fold.
The t’me of sheep-shearing was a very
glad time. ’The neighbors gathered to
gether, and they poured wine and
danced for joy. The sheep were put in
a place inclosed by a wall, where it
was very easy to count them
and know whether any of them
had been taken by the jackals
or dogs. The inclosure was called
the sheep-fold. Good news I have
to tell you, in that our Lord the Shep
herd has a sheep-fold, and those who
are gathered in it shall never be struck
by the storm, shall never be touched
by the jackals of temptation and trou
ble. It has a high wall so high that
no troubles can get in so high that
the joys can not get out. How glad
the old sheep will be to find the lambs
that left them a good ninny years ago!
Millions of children in Heaven! Oh,
what a merry Heaven it will make!
Not many long-meter psalrns there.
They will be in tin* majority, and will
runaway with our s ing, carrying it up
to a still higher point of ecstacy. Oh.
there will he shouting! If children on
earth clapped their handsand danced
for joy, what will they do when, to tin*
gladness of childhood on earth is added
the gladness of childhood in Heaven?
It is time we got over these morbid
ideas of how we shall get out of this
world. You make your religion an un
dertaker planing coffins and driving
hearses. Your religion smells of the
varnish of a funeral casket. Rather
let your religion to-day come out
and show you the .sheep-fold that
God has provided you. Ah, you
say, there is a river between this
and that. 1 know it; but that .Jor
dan is only for the sheep-washing, and
they shall go up on the other banks
snow-white. They follow the great
Shepherd. They heard His voice long
ago. J hey are safe now -one fold and
one Shepherd!
Alas for those who arc finally found
outside tin* inclosnre. 'The night of
their sin howls with jackals: t hey are
thirsting for their blood. The very
moment that a lamb may be frisking
upon the hills, a bear may be looking
for it from tin* ticket!
In June. ISIS. there was a very noble
party gathered in a house in St. James'
square, London. The prince regent
was present, ami the occasion was
made fascidating by music and ban
queting and by jewels. While a
I quadrille was being formed, suddenly
1 all the people rushed to the windows.
What is tin* matter? Henry Bercy
had arrived with the news
that Waterloo had been fought,
and that England had won
: the day. 'The dance was aban-
. donedjtlie party dispersed; lords, ladies
and musicians rushed intothe street,
and in 15 minutes from the first an
nouncement of the good news the house
was emptied of all its guests. Oh! ye
who are seated at tin* banquet of this
world, or whirling in its gayeties and
frivolities, if you could hear the
sweet strains of the Gospel 1 ruinpet
announcing Christ’s victory over
sin and death and hell, you would
rush forth, glad in the eternal deliver
ance! The Waterloo against sin has
been fought, and our Commander-in
chief hath won the day. Oh. the joys of
this salvation! I do not care what met
aphor.what comparison you have; bring
it to me.that 1 may us ■ it. Amos shall
bring one simile. Isaiah another, John
another. Beautiful with pardon.
Beautiful with peace. Beautiful with
anticipations Or to return to the pas
toral figure of my text, come out of tku
poor past nra 41* of this world intothe
rich fortunes of the Good Shepherd.
The shephei" 1 <>f old use I to play
beautiful mii-uc. and sometimes thj
she«*p would gather around him ami
listen. Today my H ivmily Shepherd
<<ih- to you with the very music of
Heaven, calling you i<> leave your sin
and accept His pardon. Oil. that all
this flock would hear the piping of tho
Good Shepherd.
