', Brooklyn, Dec. 4. ThJs Is ono of
those discourses of Dr. Tnlmngo deliv
ered from texts vrhich no one seems to
have used before Important and prac
tical lessons wero dr&vii. Tlie opening
' Jiymn, in which many thousands joined,
was:
i Come ro disconsolate where'er re languish.
The subject of tho sermon was "Riz
pah on the Rock," tho text selected be
ing II Samuel xxi, 10, "And Rizpah,
tho daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth
and spread it for her upon tho rock,
from the beginning of harvest until
water dropped upon them outof heaven,
and suffered neither tho birds of tho air
to rest on them by day nor the beasts of
the field by night."
Tragedy that beats anything Shake
spearean or Victor Hugoian. After re
turning from the Holy LmiiI I briefly
touched upon it, but I must have a whole
sormon for that scene. Tlio explosion
and flash of gunpowder have driven
nearly all tho beasts and b'rds of prey
from those regions, and now tho shriek
of the locomotivo whistlo which is daily
heard at Jerusalem will for many miles
amund clear Palestine of cruel claw and
beak. Out in tho time of the text those
regions were populous with multitudes
of jackals and lions. Seven sons of Saul
had been crucified on a hill. Rizpah
was mother to two and relative to five
of the boys. What had these boys done
that they should bo crucified? Nothing
except to have a bad father and grand
father. But now that tho boys were
dead, why not tako them down from tho
gibbets? No. They are sentenced to
hang thero.
So Rizpah takes the sackcloth a
rough shawl with which in mourning
for her dead she had wrapped herself
and spreads that sackcloth upon tho
rocks near the gibbets, and nets the part
of a sentinel, watching and defending
tho dead. Yet every other sentinel is
relioved, and after being on guard for a
few hours somo ono else takes his place.
But Rizpah is on guard both day and
night and for half a year. Ono hundred
and eighty days and nights of obsequies.
What nerves she must have had to stand

mother can stand anything?
DENIED EVEN A BURIAL PLACE.
, Oh, If sho might be allowed to hollow
a place in the side of tho hill and lay
tho bodies of hor children to quiet rostl
If in somo cavern of tho mountains sho
might find for them Christian sepulturol
Oh, if sho might tako them from the
gibbet of disgrace and carry them still
farther away from tho haunts of men,
and then lie beside them in the last long
sleepl Exhausted nature ever and anon
falls into slumber, but in a moment she
breaks the snare, and chides herself as
though sho had been cruel, and leaps up
on the rock shouting at wild beast glar
ing from tho thicket and at vulturous
brood wheeling in tho sky. Tho thrill
ing story of Rizpah reaches David, and
he comes forth to hide the indecency.
The corpses had been chained to tho
trees. Tho chains aro unlocked with
horrid clank, and tho skeletons aro lot
down. All tho seven are buried, and
tho story ends.
But it hardly ends boforo you cry out,
"What ahard thing thatthoso Boven boys
should suffer for tho crimes of a father
and grandfather!" Yes. But it is al
ways so. Lot ovory ono who doos wrong
know that ho wars not only, as in this
caBe, against two generations, children
and grandchildren, but against all the
generations of coining time. That is
what makes dissipation and uncleannoss
so awful. It rovor borates in other times.
It may skip one generation, but it is apt
to como up in tho third generation, as is
suggested iu tho Ton Commandmonts,
which say, "Visiting the iniquities of
tho fathers upon tho children unto tho
third and fourth generation."
i Mind you, It says nothing about tho
second generation, but montions tho
third and tho fourth. That accounts
for what you sometimes see very good
parents with vory bad children. Go far

So it has been In all ages. Vashti must

turning, and mansions and huts ex

pushes tho barrow, and instead of tho
glaro of festal lights is tho simmering

A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF
TROUBLE.
But that is the place to which God
comes. Jacob, with his head on a stone,
saw tho shining ladder. Israel in tho
desert behold tho marshaling of tho fiery
baton. John on barren Patmos heard
trumpeting, and tho clapping of wings,
and tho stroko of sotaphic fingers on
golden harps, and nothing but heavenly
strength nerved Rizpah for her appalling
mission amid tho scream of wild birds
and tho stealthy tread of hungry mon
sters. The grandest visions of glory, the
most rapturous experiences of Christian
love, tho groatest triumphs of grace have
como to tho tried, and the hard pressed,
and the betrayed, and the crushed. God
stooping down from heaven to comfort
Rizpah on tho rock.
Agm, tho tragedy of tho text dis
plays tho courago of woman amid great
emergencies. What mother or sister or
daughter would dare to go out to fight
tho cormorant and jackal? Rizpah did
it. And so would you if an emorgency
demanded. Woman is naturally timid
and shrinks from exposure and dopends
on stronger arms for tho achievement of
great enterprises. And she is often
troubled lest there might bo occasions
demanding fortitude when she would
fail. Not so. Somo of thoso who are
afraid to look out of tho door after night
fall, and who quake in tho darkness at
the least uncertain sound, and who start
at tho slam of tho door and turn pale
in a thunderstorm, if tho day of trial
camo, would bo heroic and invuluorablo.
God has arranged it bo that that wom
an needs tho trumpet of some great con
test of principlo or affection to rouso up
her slumbering courago. Then sho will
stand under the crossfiro of opposing
hosts at Chalon3 to givo wine to tho
wounded. Then sho will carry into
prison and dark lane tho messago of tnl
vatiou. Then sho will bravo the pesti
lence. Deborah goes out to sound ter
ror into tho hearts of God's onomies.
Abigail throws herself between a raiding
party of infuriated men and her hus
band's vineyards. Rizpah fights back
tho vultures from the rock.
Among tho Orknoy islands an eagle
swooped and lifted a child to its eyrio
far up on tho mountains. With tho

outiiashing the glaro of tho eagle's, and

hurls tho wild bird down tho rocks.

lotine. And there would bo no end to
tho recital if I attempted to present all
the historical incidents which show that
woman's courago would rouso Itself for
great emergency.
But I need not go so far. Yon havo
known some otto who was considered a
mcro butterfly in society. Her hand had
known no toil. Her eyo had wopt no tear
over iniufortutie. Sho moved among
obsequious admirers as careless as an
insect in a Hold of blossoming buckwheat.
But in 1807 financial tempest struck tho
husband's estate Bcforo ho had timo
to reef sail and mako things snug tho
ship capsized and went down. Enemies
cheered at tho misfortune and wondered
what would become of tho butterfly.
Good men pitied and said sho would dio
of a broken heart.
"Sho will not work," say they, "and
she 13 too proud to beg." But tho prophe
cies havo failed. Disaster has trans
formed tho shining sluggard into a prac
tical worker happy as a prince ,
though cqinpelled to hush her own child
to sleep nnd spread her own table and
nnswer tho "ringing of her own doorbell.
Her arm had been muscled for tha con
flict against misfortune, hunger nnd
poverty and want, nnd all tho other
jackal Rizpah scares from the rock.
TIIS PATIENT, TOILING MOTHER.
I saw ono in a desolate home. Her
merciless companion had pawned even
tho children's shoes for rum. From hon
orable ancestry she had como down to
this. The cruso of oil was empty and
tho last candle gono out. Her faded
frock was patched with fragments of
antique silk that she had worn on the
bright marriage day. Confident in God,
die had a strong heart, to which her
children ran when they trembled at tho
staggering step and quailed under a fa
ther's curse. Though the heavens were
filled with fierce wings nnd the thickets
gnashed with rage, Rizpah watched
faithfully day after day and year after
year, ana woir ana cormoraut ny ner
God strengthened arm were hurled down
tho rocks.
Yon pass day by day along streets
where thero are heroines greater than
Jean of Arc. Upon that cellar floor
there are conflicts as fierce as Sedan,
and heaven and hell mingle in the fight.
Lifted in that garret there are tribunals
whero more fortitude is demanded than
was exhibited by Lady Jane Grey oi
Mnry, queen of Scots.
Now I ask, if mere natural courage
can do so much, what may wo not expect
of women who have gazed on the great
sacrifice, and who are urged forward by
all the voices of grace that sound from
tho Bible aud all the notes of victory
that speak from the sky? Many years
ago tho Forfarshire steamer started from
Hull bound for Dundee. After the ves
sel had been out a little while the winds
began to rave and billows ribo until a
tempest was upon them. The vessel
leaked, and the fires went out, and though
tho sails weio hoisted fore and aft she
went speeding toward the breakers. Sho
struck with her bows foremost on the
rock. The vesbel paited. Amid the
whirlwind and tho daikncss all were lost
but nine. T liebo clung to tho wreck on
tho beach.
Sleeping that night in Longstone
lighthoubo wan a girl of gentle spirit
and comely countenance. As the morn
ing dawns I seo that girl standing
amid tho hpray and tumult of contend
ing olements looking through a glns,s
upon the wreck and tho' nine wretched
sufferers. Sho proposes to her father to
tako boat and put out across tho wild
sea to rescuo them. Tho father says:
"It cannot bo done! Just look at the
tumbling surf!" But she perhihted, and
with her father bounds into tho boat.
Though never accustomed to plying tho
oar, sho takes ono and her father tho
other. Steady now! Pull away! Pull
away!
Tho sea tossed up tho boat' as though
it wero a bnhhlo.butamid tlio foam aud
tlio wratlt of tho sea tho wieck was
reached, tho exhausted pcoplo picked up
and saved. Humane societies tendered
their thanks. Wealth pouied into tho
lap of tho poor girl. Visitors from all
lands camo to look on her sweet face,
and when soon after sho launched forth
on a dark sea, and Death was tho oars
man, dukes and duchesses and mighty
men sat down in tears in Alnwick castlo
to think they never again might seo tho
face of Graco Darling.
THE BATTLE WITH SIN.
No sucli deeds of daiing will probably
bo asked of you, but hear you not the
howl of that awful storm of trouble and
sin that hath tossed ten thousand shiv
ered hulks into tho bteakors? Know
you not that tho whole earth is strown
with tho shipwrecked that there aro
wounds to bo healed and broken hearts
to bo bound nnd drowning souls to bo
rescuod? Somo havo, gono down, and
you como too lato, but others aro cling
ing to tho wreck, aro shivering with the
cold, aro strangling in tho wavo, are
crying to you for deliverance. Will
you not, oar in hand, put out today
from tho lighthouse?
When tho last ship's timber shall havo
been rent, nnd tho last Longstone bea
coil shall havo been thundere'd down in
tho hurricano, and tho last tempestshall
havo folded its wings, and tho sea itself
shall havo been lickod up by tho tongue
of all consuming fire, tho crowus of eter
nal roward shall bo kindling intobright
or glory on tho brow of tho faithful.
Aud Christ, pointing to tho inobriato
that you reformed, and tho dying sinner
whom you taught to pray, and the out
cast whom you pointed to God for shol
ter, will say: "You did it to them!
You did it to mo!"
Again, tho sceno of the text impresses
upon us tho strength of maternal attach
ment. Not many mon would havo had
courago or endurance for tho awtul
mission of Rizpah. To dure the rago of
wild boasts, aud sit from May to Octo
bor unsheltered, nnd to1 watch the corpses
of unburlod children, was a work that
nothing but tho matornal heart could
havo accomplished. It needed moro
strength than to stand before opened
batteries or to walk in calmness tho deck
of n foundoringjteaiuor.

Tho Marchioness of Spadara, when
the eaithqnake at Messina occurred,
was carried out insensible from the
falling houses. On coming to her
beuses sho found that her infant had

penciled in the ruins. Illustration of
ten thouprrd mothers who in as many
different ways havasacrified themselves
for their children.
BE KIND TO TnE AGED PARENT.
Oh, despise not a mother's love! If
heretofore you havo been negligent of
such a one, and you havo still oppor
tunity for reparation, make haste. If
you could only just look in for an hour's
visit to her,' you would rouse up in tho
nged ono a whole world of blissful mem
ories. What if sho does sit without
talking much? Sho watched you for
many moutLs when you knew not how
to talk at all. What if sho has many
ailments to tell about? During fifteen
years you ran to her with every little
scratch and bruise, and she doctored
your little finger as carefully as a sur
geon would bind the worst fracture.
You say she is childish now; I wonder
if Bhe over saw j-ou when you were
childish. You havo no patience to wall,
with her on the street, sho moves so
slowly; I wonder if she remembers the
time when you were glad enough to go
slowly. You complain at the expense of
providing for her now; I wonder what
your financial income was from one year
to tou years of age. Do not begrudgp
what you do for tho old folks. Icaif
not how much you did for them; they
havo dono moro for you.
But from this weird text of the morn
ing comes rushing in upon my soul a
thought that overpowers me. This
watching by Rizpah was an after death
watching. I wonder if now there is an
af tor death watching. I think thero is.
Thero are Rizpahs who have passed
death aud are still watching. They look
down from their supernal and glorified
btato upon us, nnd is not that an after
dearth watching? I cannot believe that
thoso who before their death were inter
ested in us have since their death become
indifferent as to what happens to us.
Not ono hour of tho six months during
which Rizpah watched, seated upon the
rocks, was bhe moro alert or diligent or
armed for us than our mother, if glori
fied, is alert and diligent and armed for
us. It is not now Rizpah on a rock, but
Rizpah on n throne. How long has your
mother been dead? Do you think she
has been dead long enough to forget
you? My mother has been dead twenty
nine years. I believe she knows more
about mo now than sho did when I stood
in hor presence, and I am no Spiritualist
either. The Biblo says, "Aro they not
all ministering spirits sent forth to min
ister to them that shall bo heirs of salva
tion?" Young man, bettor look out what
you do aud whero you go, for your glo
rified mother is looking at you. You
sometimes say to yourself, "What would
mother say if sho knew thif.V" She does
know. You miglit cheat her once, but
you cannot cheat hor now. Doe3 it em
barrass us to think bho knows all about
us now? If sho had to put up with so
much when sho was here, surely she
will not be tho less patient or excusa
tory now.
THE WATCH AFTER DEATH.
Oh, this tremendous thought of my
text this after death watching! What
an uplifting consideration, and what a
comforting thought! Young mother,
you who have just lost your babe, and
who feel that need of a nearer solace
than that wliich comes from ordinary
sympathy, your mother knows all about
it. You cannot run in nnd talk it all
over with her as you would if she wore
still a torreslial resident, but it will
comfort you borne, I think yea, it will
comfort you a good deal to know that
sho nndeintands it all. You seo that the
velocities of the heavenly conditions are
so great that it would not tako her a half
second to como to your bet eft, heart.
Oh, theso mothers in heaven! They
can do moro for us now than before
they went away. Tlio bridge between
this world nnd tho next is not broken
down. Thoy approach the bridge from
both ways, departing spirits and coming
spirits, disimprisoned spirits and. sym
pathizing spirits. And so let us walk as
to bo worthy of tho supernal companion
ships, and if to any of tm life on earth is
a hard grind, lot us understand that if
wo watch faithfully and trust fully our
blessed Lord thero will bo a correspond
ing roward in tlio land of peace, and
that Rizpah, who onco wept on a rock,
now reigns on a throno.
