Tun Hamptons, July 4. Whllo tho Rev- T.
Do Witt Tidmni', I). 1)., Is absent from his
pulpit In Brooklyn nnd recreating; In tho coun
try, he continues to preach, taking subjects
suggested by summer scenes and surround
ings, his discourses constituting: a course en
titled, "Voices ot Gardens and Fields." The
following Is tho first sermon In tho scries,
preached to-duy from tho text: "My beloved
Is unto mc a cluster of caniphlre in tho vlne
ynnis of En-Redl :" Song of Solomon, I. 5-1 1.
Solomon's song 1ms been considered by
many as lit only for moonstruck sentimental
ists; written by a voluptuary, the story of a
man crazed by a fair maiden; lit neither for
family prnvers nor for church. Indeed, we
must admit that there were- years In Solomon's
life when ho had several hundred moro wives
than he was entitled to; but ho repented of
his sin and God chofu him to write some ot
the best things about Christ that havo ever
been written. Besides that I think the criti
cism of modern times upou the Immodesty of
the lllblc comes vdtk poor grace from a centu
ry In which tho writings of "George Sand"
comes to their fortieth edition, and Christians
cannot get to their prajer meeting because
they havo tickets for places of amusement so
depraved that they make the "Black Crook"
respectable. 4I think, however, as far as 1 can
tec, in my stupidity, that tlicro are things
turned out upon the comiflunlty to-day that
bid fair to do more damage than the Song of
Solomon.

Hear, now, one of his fresh and lair descrii
tions of .Icsus. If I had twenty years to preach
I uouldllku to employ ten of them in bringing
out to observation those representations of
Christ that havo as yet been passed by. I do
not know why tho pulpit should hover over a
few types of Christ when thero are so many
symbols of Jesus that have never been dis
coursed upon. Why Miould we employ all our
time in examining a lew lilies wheu tho Blblo

poor fools not knonlng that In Bevelatlou,
the first and thu fourteenth, thu Blhlu speaks
of Christ, "Hli head and Ills hair were whlto
like wool, as white as suon" symbolizing tho
eternity of Jesus.

while the, soul in ecstacy of affection cries out:

rowKii ok this kaviouu'h kamc.
But how rhall I talk of tho sweetness of
Christ's pardon to thosa who have never felt
It; of thu sweetness of Ills face to those who
have turned their back upon His love! Now
a great many people may think this U merely
sickly sentlincntallsin. Jonathan Edwards
was a cool man. He was harh In wine of his
opinions; he was never ullllcted with any sen
timental ardor, and yet when tho namo of
Christ was mentioned it threw him Into a
transport. Paul was a cool logician, with
nerve unshaken iu the Mediterranean shlii
wreck, a granitic nature, i-oiufortabhi with
the whole world against him, shaking his (1st
in tho face of tho governments of tliu earth
and the force of darktio yet (he thought of
Christ thrilled him, Iramportcd hliu, over
whelmed him. Johu Knox was unbending lu
his n at a re and hard lu omo rcupccts. Tho
flash of Ids Indignation luade the iiueeii shlrer
and tbo duchess nwke, vet he at down a a lit
tle child at tho feet of Jcjuk. Solomon was
surrounded by all palatial splendor his ships
colnir out from Kzlon ceber on voyages of three
vcars, bringing back all the wonders of tho
world: his narks afloat with myrrh and frank
incense, and a rustle with trees brought from
foreign lands: tho traces of his stupendous
gardens found bv tho traveler at this day.
Solomon sits down In this ulaco to think of
Christ, the altogether lovely and tho altogether
lair, ami whilst seated mere comes a urcam oi
the spices and aromatic woods and ot the
blossoms In through the palace windows, and
he cries out: "Mv beloved is unto mo as a
cluster of camphlro from the vineyards of
n-gedi."
Tim iticHKST or am, ni.usstxaft
0 rich and rare, exquisite and everlasting
pen time I J.et it in every poor man's winuow
plant It on every grave;' put Its leaves untie
every garland; wavo Its branches' lu every
homo: mid when I tun about to die, and my
hand lies cold and stiff, and white Uou the
pillow, let some plain and humble soul como
and out In mv dvimr irrasn this Uvimr branch
with clusters "''of camphlro from tho vineyards

It is manv vcars now since 1 found the Lord,
and I inust'ln your prescueo tell yon how good
no nas occn to my soni. utien sinco men
have given hhn a hard thrust In his sore side
but he has bceu patient with me by dav nnd
by night. It Is the grief of my life thatt havo
treated him so badly; but He has never let mo
go. I have seen no wonderful sights, I havo
heard r.o wonderful sounds. I havo no mar
velous experience: It has been a lilalu story
of patience on his part and of uiiworthlncss
on my part, some oi my dear menus neioro
mo havo Jiad moro rapturous experiences.
Christ to them has been the conqueror on tho
whlto horse, or tho sun ot righteousness, set
ting everything ablazo with light; or the
bridegroom, coming with lantern and toiches,
To mo it has been a very ouiet and uudemon
strativo experience. It has been (something
very sweet, mil very Mill. How shall 1 do
scribe HI I have It now: "Mv beloved Is uu

But I remark further; This caniphlre plant
oi me toxi was a symiHii ot i nrisi in mo met
that gives coloring, l'ront the Mediterranean
to the dances tho people of Ihe east gathered It,
dried tho leaves, tmlverlzed them and then
used them us a dye for beautifying garments
or their own persons. It was that fact that
gave the camphlro plaut of tlio text Its com
mercial value in the time of King Solomon; a
typo or my i.ord .icsus who ucautlilc3 and
adorns and colors evervth ug ho touches,
have no faith In that man's conversion whoso
religion does not color his entire life. It was
intended so to do. If a man has the graeo ot
God lu his heart It ought to show Itself In tho
inc. mere ought to no mis "cluster ot cam
phlre," iu tho ledger, In the roll of government
securities, lu tho medical prescription, lu tho
law hook, a religion is oi no value to a
merchant unless It keeps him from putting
falso labels on his goods; or to tho plasterer.
unless It keeps him from putting up a celling
which ho knows will crack lu six months;
or to tho driver unless It keeps him from
lashing his horses to eight miles uu hour
when tho thermometer Is at ninety, or to
tho farmer, unless It keeps him from put
ting Hie only sound pippins on the ton of tho
barrel: or to tlio shoemaker unless It keens
hhn from substituting brown paper for good
leather in tlio soles. In other words: tho re
ligion of Christ Is good for everything or It Is
good for nothing. Tho graco of (Jod never
affects us by piecemeal. If tho heart Is
changed, the head Is changed, and the liver Is
changed, and tho spleen Is ehnnged, and tho
hands aro changed, and tho feet are changed,
and tho storo Is changed, and tho houso Is
enanged, and everything over which tlio man
nas any iiiuticnce comes ton compicioaud rad

Tho religion of tho Lord Josus Christ Is not
a pot oi uyaeiiim to no set in a parlor hay win
dow for passers-by to look at. and to ho exam
hied only bv ourselves when we have comiianv:
but It Is to bo a perfume filling all thu room of
mo ncari as -a cluster ot camphlro from tho
vineyards of Ku-gcdl." The trouble Is men do
not tako their religion with them. Tho mer
chant leaves It outsldo tho counter, lest It ills
turb tho goods. Tho house-keeper will not let
her religion trail its robes lu the kitchen on
washing day. 1 ho philosopher will not lot his
religion come In amid the batteries, lest It get
a galvanic shock. But, I tell you, unless your
rellglou goes with you everywhere it goes no
where, 'that religion wus intended tocolorall
the heart and the life. Hut, mark you, It was
a origin coior. j'or mo most pari it was an
orange dye, niado of this camphlro plant, ono
ot tho most brilliant ot all tho colors; and so
the religion or .Jesus Christ casta no blackness
or gloom upon tho souh It brightens up every
thing. Theru Is no more religion In u funeral
than thero Is lu a wedding; no moro religion
iu tears than In smiles. David was no hotter
when ho said ho cried out of tlio depths of
nen, man no was wueu uo said mat ins moitlli
was filled with laughter and his tongue with
singing. Thu best men that I havo ever known
have laughed tho loudest. Kcltglou wus In
tended to brighten up nil our character. Tuko
out tho sprig of cypress from your coat and put
in "a cluster ot cumphlra from tho vineyards

I remark again that the camphlro plant of
tho text was a symbol ot Jesus Christ, hccaitso
It Is a mighty restorative. You know that
there Is nothing that starts rostorattou so soon
I u ono who has fainted as camphor, as wo
havo It, Butujioii a spongoor handkerchief
tho effects aro ulmojt Iinmedlate. Well, this
camphlro plant of tho text, though somewhat
different from that which wo have, was it pun
gent aromatic, and In that respect It becomes
u typo of our I.ord Jesus Christ, who Is tho
mightiest of all restoratives. I havo cuirlcd
this camphlro plant Into tho slek room after
tho doctors had held their consultation and
said there was no hnpo and nothing moro
could bo done, and tho soul brightened up
under tho spiritual restorative. There Is no
fever, uo marasmus, no neuralgia, no con
sumption, un disease of tlio body that tho
grace of God will not help. I wish that over
every bed of pain and through every hospital
of distress wo might swing this "cluster ot
camphlro from tlio vineyards of Kn gcdl."
Christ's hand Is tho softest pillow. Christ's
comfort Is tho mightiest anodyne, Christ's sal-
vaiiou is mo grauuest rcsiorauve. n maKes

void I Buekslfdi-r! 1'ioiu what havo you slid
backl You hove slid hack from your father's
faith, from your early good habits. You havo
been sliding back from Christ, from tho cross
sliding back from heaven. When a man be
gins to slide he knows uot where ho will go.
You have been sliding back towards darkness.
You have been sliding luck towards an unbless
ed grave.towards a precipice, the first ten million
miles of which downward are only a small part
of the eternal plunge. You were, perhaps,
professors In the country; you havo made ship
wreck In the town, it may bo that tho club
blasted you; it maybe that fashionable society
destroyed you; It may ho tho kind of wife
whom you married. You have no more
hope for heaven now than If you had lived In
Central Asia nnd never heard ot Christ and
the Judgment.
PKAVI.VO roit 1AST MOMENTS.
O, whero Is that Bible you used to read!
Where Is that room where vou used to pray!
What havo you done with that Jesus whoso
voico you onco heard! O, murdered hours!
0, massacred privileges I 0, dead opportuni
ties! Wako up now and shriek In that man's
ear until ho shall rouse himself from the
horrible somnambulism, walking as ho does,
fast asleep, within an inch of hell. O, that he
might cry out now: "Golden Sabbaths, come
backl Communion seasons como backl Woo
Ings of the Holy Ghost, como backl" But
they will not come. Gone 1 gone I gone I Sor
row will come, but not they. O, that you
might save tho few remaining years of your
life, and coiibecrate them to Christ. I have
seen sad sights, I have heard sad sounds, but
I tell you the ghastliest thing outside tho
gates of tho damned Is a backslider's death
bod. Do you not feci like having applied to
vour soul tills divine restorative? Do you not
feel llko crying out with David: "Kcstoro un
to mo the Joys of thy salvation?" For great
sin, great pardon. For deep wounds, omnipo
tent surgery. For deaf ears, a divine aurist.
For blind eyes, a heavenly oculist. For the
dead hi sin, iho upheaval of a great resurrcc
tiou. NO SOIlltOW AFTr.lt THIS 1.1 FK.
But In thu heavenly world wo shall feel the
chief restorative power of rellglou. This Is a
planet of weeping wo aro living on. Wo enter
uixm life with aery and leave It with a long
sigh. If I could gather up tho griefs of this
audience nnd put them In ono sentence aud
then utter it, It woirid make everything be
tween hero und the throne of God shudder
and howl. Tho earth Is gashed deep with
graves. As at the closo of the war, sometimes
wo saw u regiment ot one hundred and fifty
men, tho fragments ot tho thousand men that
wont out, so. as I stand beforo you I cannot
but realize tho fact that you are the fragments
representing hundreds of regiments of Joyful
associations that havo been broken up forever.
), this Is a world of sorrow I But, blessed be
God! thero will bo no sorrow In heaven. The
undertaker will havo to have some other busi
ness there. In tho Bummer time our cities
have bills of mortality which aro frightful
sometimes In New York 1,000 deaths In a
week; sometimes It has been 3,000 iu London;
hut iu that great heavenly city there will be
not a single case ot sickness or death ; not one
black drcsa of mourning, hut plenty of white
robes of Joy; hand-shaking of welcome, but
nono of separation. Why, if ono trouble
should attempt to enter heaven, tho shining
txillce ot tho city would put It under everlast
ing arrest.

If all the sorrows of life, mailed and sword
cd under Apollyon, should attempt to force
that gate, one company from tho tower would
strike them hack howling to tho pit Boom In
heaven or all tho raptures that over knocked

Doxology. but no dirge. Banqueting, but no
"funeral baked meats."
No darkness at all; no grief at all: no sick
ness at all; no death at all. A soul waking up
lu that placo will say: "Can It be that I am
hero? will my head never ache again? Shall
I never stimiblu over a grave again? Will I
never say good-byo to loved ones again? Can
it ho possible, that tlio stream Is past, that the
bank Is gullied, that tho glory ts begun I Show
mo Jesus that 1 may kiss his feet." Wheu the
clock of Christian suffering has run dowu, it
will never he wound up agaiu. Amid the vine
yards of tho heavenly Kn-gedl, that will be
restoration without any relapse. That will ue
day without any succeeding night. That will
