THE RAIN USED BY DR. TALMAGE
A3 A COMMON ILLUSTRATION.

BuooKiiTS. July G.I)r. Tnltnngo'a
BCiroon today Is on n kind of gospel In
which fow pcoplo bellovjo. The weather
Is a common object of complaint and
fault finding, but Dr. Talmac finds a
gospel In It, which today ho proclaims
from tho text. "Hath tho rain a fa
tliori" Job xxxviil. 23.
Thli Hook of Job has been tho sub
ject of unbounded theological wrangle.
Men havo mado It tho ring in which to
display their ecclesiastical pugilism.
Somo say that tho Book of Job Is u true
history; others, that It Is an allegory;
others, that It Is un epic pooni; others,
that It Is a drama. Somo say that Job
lived eighteen hundred years before
Christ; others wiy that ho never lived
at all. Somo say that tho author of
this book waa Job; others, David;
others, Solomon. Tho discussion hn3
landed somo In blank Infidelity Now
I havo no troublo with tho books of
Job or Revelation the two mot mys
terious books In tho Hiblo beciiusu of
a ruio I adopted somo years ago
I wado down Into a Scripture pas
sago as long ns I can touch bottom, nnd
when I cannot, then I wado out. I
used to wado In until It was over my
head, and then I got drowned. I study
a possago of Scrlpturo so long as it Is a
comfort and help to my soul; but when
It becomes a porploxity and a spiritual
upturning. I quit. In other words, wo
ought to wado In up to our heart, but
never wado in until It is over our head.
No man should over expect to swim
across this great ocean of dlvino truth.
I go down Into that ocean as I go down
Into tho Atlantic ocean at Cast Hamp
ton, Long Island, Just far enough to
batlio, then I come out. I never had
any Idea that with my weak hand and
foot I could strike my way clear overto
Liverpool.
BCIICNCIC IS NOT 1UEMC1I0N.
I supposo you understand your fam
ily genealogy. You know something
about your parents, your grandparents,
your groat-grand parents. Perhaps you
know where thoy were born or whero
thoy dlod. Huvo you over studied tho
paroutago of tho shower? "Hath tho
rain a father?" This quostlon is not
aakod by a poetaster or n scientist, but
by tho hood of tho universe To hum
ble and to save Job God asks him four
teen questions; about tho world's archi
tecture, about tho refraction of tho
siin's rays, about tho tides, about tho
snow crystal, about tho lightnings, and
then ho arraigns him with tho interro
gation of tho text, "Hath tho rain a
father?"
With tho Bolentlflo wonders of tho
fculn I havo nothing to do. A minister
gots through with that kind of sermons
within tho first throo years, and If ho
has piety enough ho gets through with
it in tho flnst throo mouths. A t-ermon
lias coino to mo to moan one word of
four letters, "holpl" l'ou all know
that tho rain Is not an orphan. You
know that It Is not cost out of tho
gates of heaven a foundling. You
would answer tho question of my text
iu tho afllrmatlvo. Safely housod dur
ing tho storm you hear tho rain beat
ing against tho window pane, and you
And It searching all tho crevices of tho
window sill.
It first comes down In solitary drops,
pattering tho dttHt, and than It deluges
tho Holds and angers tho mountain tor
rents, and makes tho traveler Implore
shelter. You know that tho ruin Is not
an accident of Uio world's economy.
You know It was born of tho cloud.
You know It win rooked In tho uradlo
of tho wind. You know It was sung to
sloop by tho storm, You know that It
is a flying ovaugel from heaven to
earth. You know It Is tho gospol of
tho weathor. You know that God Is
IU father.

boforo a drenched pastor, but most of
tho farmers stayed at homo and thanVod
God that what was bud for thu ulutroh
was good for tho crops. I committed a
good deal of sin Iu Uiom days In de
nouncing tho weather. Ministers of
tho Gospel sometimes trot about stormy
Sabbaths or tiot Sabbaths or iuolom
cut Sabbaths, Thoy forgot tho faat
that tho wune God who ordained tho
Sabbath und sent forth hit minister to
announce salvation, nlo ordalmtd tho
weather. "Hath tho rain a foUntr?"

all ready for tho mow daihed of a show
er, or whoat almost ready for tho sicklo
spoiled with tho rust. How hard it Is
to bear tho agricultural disappoint
ments. God has infinite resources, but
I do not think ho has capacity to make
weather to pleaso all tho fanners.
Sometimes It Is too hot, or it is too
cold ; It is too wot, or It it Is too dry; It
h too early, or it Is too late. They for
get that tho God who promised seed
thuo and harvest, summer nnd winter,
cold and heat, also ordained all tho cli
matic changes. Thoro Is ono question
that ought to bo written on every barn,
on every fence, on every haystack, on
ovory farmhouse, "Hath the rain a

If wo only know what a vast enter
prise It is to provido appropriate weather
for this world wo would not bo so crit
ical of tho Lord. Isaac Walts, at ten
years of ago, complained that ho did
not liko tho hymns that woro sung In
tho English chapel. "Well," said his
father, "Isaac, Instead of your com
plaining about tho hymns go and make
hymns that aro better." And ho did
go and mako hymns that were better.
Now. I say to you. If you do not like
tho weather, get up a weather com
pany, and havo a president, and a sec-
rotary, and a treasurer, and a board of
directors, and ten million dollars of
stock, nnd then provido weather that
will suit all of us. There is a man who
has a weak head, and ho cannot stand
tho glare of tho sun. You must have
n cloud always hovering over him.
I liko sunshino; I cannot live with
out plenty of sunlight, so you must al

There is a farm that js dried up for tho

My text also suggosts God'i minute
supcrvisal. You see tho dlvino Sonship
In every drop of rain. Tho Jewels of
tho shower nro not Hung away by a

ho throws or where they fall. Thoy
aro all shining princes of heaven. Thoy

God takes notice of every niinuto rain
drop ho will tako notice of tho most in
significant affair of my life. It Is tho
astronomical view of things that both

Wo look up Into tho night heavens
nnd wo say, "Worldsl worldsl" and
how insignificant wo feel I Wo stand at
tho foot of Mount Washington or Mont
Ulnno. and wo feel that wo aro only In

"Though tho world Is so largo fhobun
Is ono million four hundred thousand

a soulless horso could havo so much
nride In his owner, shall not we Immor
tals exult In the fact that we are owned
by a King? "Hath the rain a father?"
Again, my subject teaches me that
God's dealings with us are inexplicable.
That was tho original forcp of my text
Tho rain was a great mystery to the
nncients. Thoy could not understand
how the water should get into the cloud,
nml pnttinu thore. how It should bo
suspended, or falling, why it should
como down In drops. Modern i-cience
comes along and says there arc two
portions of air of different temperature,
nnd thoy are charged with moisture,
and tho ono portion of nlr decieoses in
temperature so the water niuy no longer
be held in vapor and it fnlis. And they
tell us that some of tho clouds that look
to bo only as large as a man's hand,
and to bo almost quiet In the heavens,
arc croat mountains of mist four thou
sand feet from base to top. and that
they rush miles a minute.
Hut after all the brilliant experiments
of Dr. James Hutton and Sauuro and
other scientists, there is an infinite mys
tery about the rain. Thoro is an ocean
of tho unfathomablo In overy raindrop,
and God says today as he bitld In the
timo of Job, "If you cannot under
stand ono drop of rain, do not bo stir
prised if my dealings with you aro in
explicable." Why does that aged man,
decrepit, beggared, vicious sick of the
world, and tho world sick of him, live
on, while hero is a man in midlife, con
secrated to God, hard working, useful
In overy respect, who dies?
Why does that old gossip, gadding
along tho street about everybody's
business but her own, havo such good
health, whilo tho Christian mother,
with a flock of littlo ones about her
whom she is preparing for usefulness
and for heaven the mother who you
think could not bo spared an hour from
that household why docs she lio down
and dio with a cancer? Why does that
man, selfish to tho core, go on adding
fortune to fortune, consuming every
thing on himself, continue to prosper,
while that man who has been giving ten
per cent, of nil his incomo to God and
tho church goes into bankruptcy?
IJcforo wo mako stark fools of our
selves let us stop pressing this overlast
Ing "why." Let us worship whero wo
cannot understand. Let a man tako
that ono question, "Why?" and follow
it far enough, nnd push It, and ho will
land in wretchedness and perdition.
Wo want in our theology fewer inter
rogation marks and more exclamation
points. Heaven Is tho pluco for expla
nation. Earth is tho place for trust.
If you cannot understand so minute a
thing as a raindrop, how can you ex
pect to understand God's dealings?
"Hath tho rain a father?"
JIJDOK .NOT 11Y KKIillLK SKNS1C.
Again, my text makes mo think that
tho rain of tears Is of divine origin.
Great clouds of troublo sometimes
hover over us. Thoy aro black, and
thoy nro gorged, and they are thunder
ous. Thoy nro moro portentous than
Snlvator or Claudo over painted-
clouds of poverty or persecution or bo-
roavomont. They hovor ovor us, and
get darker and blacker, and after a
whilo a tear btarts, and wo think by an
oxtra pressure of tho eyelid to stop it.
Others follow, nnd after a whilo there is
a shower of tearful emotion, Yea,
thoro Is a rain of tears. "Hath that
rain a father?"
"Oh," you say, "a tear Is nothing but
a drop of limpid lluld secreted by tho
lachrymal gland Is only a sign of weak
oyos." Great mistake. It is ono of tho
Lord's riahost benedictions to tho world,
Thoro are people In Hlaokwoll'e Island
Insane asylum, and at Uticn, nnd at all
the asylums of this land, who woro do
monted by tho fact that thoy could not
cry tit tho right time. Said a maulao in
one of our public institutions, under a
Go pel sermon that started tho tears:
"Do you see that tear? That Is tho first
I havo wept for twelve yours. I think It
will help my brain."
Thoro aro a groat many in tho gravo
who could not stand any longer under
thoglauler of trouble.' If that glaulor
had only melted Into weeping they
oould have endured It. There havo
been times in your lift when you would
luivo given tho world, If you had pas
eod It, for ono tear. You oould
shriek, you oould blnepheme, but you
ooukl not ory. Have you mver been a
limn holding tho hand of a dead wife,
who had been all the world to him?
The temple livid with excitement, the
eye dry and imutlc, no itioWture on the
upper or lower lid. You saw there were
boltH of anger In tbeoluin! but no rain.
To your Christian comfort he said,
"Don't talk tue about God, there U no

talk to nie about God. wmtld he have
left me nnd these iuoihoiiv children?"

"Oh," you wy, '1t' burtl u tuUik

my friends. Tltera are tint, i
four Kinds of them tlwt Ood counte,

tho world. They never gvt or it

tho soul that is silent, though It once i
resounded.
My parents never mentioned the
donth of n child who died fifty years
before without a tremor In tho voice
nndasich. oh I how deep fetched. It
was better she should die; It was
a mercy sho should dio. Sho would
have been a lifolong invalid. But you
cannot arguo away a parent's grief.
How often you hear tho moan. "Oh I
my child, my child I" Then there aro
tho filial tears.
OUR OHIKF FOU THE DEAD.
Littlo children soon get over tho loss
of parents. They aro easily diverted
with a now toy. But where is tho man
who has como to thirty or forty or
fifty years of ago who can think of tho
old people without having nil the foun
tains of his soul stirred up? You may
havo had to tako care of her a good
many years, but you never can forget
how she used to tako care of you.
There havo been many soa captains
converted in our church, and tho pe
culiarity of them was that they were
nenrly all prayed ashore by their mo
thers, though tho mothers went into
tho dust soon after they wont to sea.
Havo you never heard an old man in
delirium of some sickness call for his
mother?
Tho fact is wo got so used to calling
for her the first ten years of our life we
never get over it, nnd when she goes
away from us it makes deep sorrow.
You sometimes, perhaps, in days of
troublo and darkness, when Iho world
would say, "You ought to bo able to
tnko care of yourself," you wako up
from your dreams finding yourself
saying, "Oh, mother! mother" Have
these tears no divine ori(,'in? Why,
tako all tho warm hearts thnt ever
beat in all lands and in all ages, and
put them together, and their united
throb would be weal; compared with
tho throb of God's eternal sympathy,
Yes, God also is Father of all that rain
of repentance.
Did you over seo a rain of repent
ance? Do you know-what it is that
makes a man repent? I see people go
log around trying to repent. They
cannot repent. Do you know no man
can repent until God helps him to re
pent? How do I know? By this pas
sago. "Him hath God exalted to bo a
prince and a Saviour to give repent
mice." OhI it is a tremendous houi
when ono waives up and says "I nm a
bad man; I havo not binned against the
laws of tho land, but I havo wasted my
lifo. God asked mo for my service?
and I haven't given those services. OhI
my sins, God forgive me."
When that tear starts It tin ills all
heaven. An angel cannot keep his eye
off it, and tho church of God assembles
around, and there is a commingling of
tears, and God is tho father of that
rain, tho Lord, long suffering, merciful
and gracious. In a religion assem
blage u man aroso and said: "I have
been a very wicked man ; I broke my
mother's heart; 1 became an infidel;
but I havo seen my evil way, and 1
liavo surrendered my heart to God.
But it is a griof I never can get ovor
that my parents should never havo
heard of my salvation. I don't know
whether thoy uro living or dead."
Whilo yot ho was standing in tho audi
onco, a voico from tho gallery said,
"Oh, my son, my son I"
Ho looked up and ho recognized her.
It was his old mother. Sho had been
praying for him for n great many years,
und when at tho foot of tho eroas the
prodigal son and tho praying mother
embraced each other, there was a rain,
a tremendous rain, of tears, and God
was tno Father of those toars. Oh,
that God would break us down with a
sense ot our sin, and then l.ft us up
with an appreciation of his mercy.
Toars over our watted lifo. Tears ovor
u grieved spirit Toars ovor an Injured
father. Oh, that God would move
upon thU nudlouco with a great wave
of religious emotion,
