ing the Delaware and Xerxes Crossing
tlio llolle.iiont lessons of tha Text.
DrmtoiT, Mnrch 12.-Rov. Dr. Tnl
inrtge, who is now visiting this city,
pi-cu'lutl today to u largo ahJ intensely
interested audionco in tho Fort Street
Presbyterian-church, of which Rov. Dr.
Uadcliffo ia pastor, on tho crossing of
tho Jordan by tlio childron of Israel, tho
'text being front Joshua,iii, 17, "And tho
priests that bare tho ark of the covenant
of tho Lord stood finn on dry ground in
tho midst of the Jordan, and all tho Is
raelites passed over on dry ground( until
all the peoplo were passed clean over Jor
dan." Washington crossed tho Dolawaro
when crossing was pronounced impos
sible, but ho did, it by boat. Xerxes
crossed tho Hellespont with 2,000,000
men, but ho did it by bridge. The Isra
elites crossed tho Red sea, but tho sumo
orchestra that celebrated tho deliverance
of tho one army sounded tho Btrangula-
.tion of tho other. This Jordanio passago
differs from nil. There was no sacrifice
of human life not so much as the loss
of a linchpin Tho vanguard of tho host,
made up of priests, advanced until they
put their foot at tho brim of tho river,
when muiibu lately theetreets of Jerusa
lem wore no more dry than'tholbed of
that river. It was as if all tho water had
been drawn off, and-then the dampness
had been soaked up with a sponge, and
then by a towel tho road had been wiped
dry.
Yondor goes a great army of Israelites
tho hosts in uniformjjFollowingthem
the wives, tho children? tho flocks, the
herds. The peoplo look up at the crys
talline wall of the Jordan as they pas
and think what an awful disaster would
come to them if beforo they got to the
opposite bank of tbat Ajalon wall that
wall should fall on them. And the
thought makes tho mothers hug their
children closo to their hearts as they
swiften their pace. Quick, now I Get
them all up on tho banks tho armed
warriors, tho wives and children, flocks
and herds, und lot this wonderful Jor
danic passago bo completed forever.
Sitting on the shelved limestono, 1
look off upon that Jordan whero Joshua
crossed under tho triumphal arch of the
rainbow woven out of tho spray; tho river
which afterward became tho baptistry
whero Christ was eprinkled or plungddj
tho river whero the ax tho borrowed ax
miraculously Bwam at the prophel'a
order; the river illustrious in the history
of tho world for heroio faith and omnip
otent deliverance and typical of scenes
yet to transpire in your life and mine
scenes enough to make us, from the sole
of tho foot to tho crown of tho head, tin
glo with infinite gladness.
Standing on tho scone of that affright
ed, fugitive river Jordan, I learn for my
solf and for you, first, that obstacles,
when they are touched, vanish. Tho text
says that when these priests came down
and ouched tho water tho edge of the
water with their feet the wator parted.
Thoy did not wado in chin deep or waist
doep or lmeo deep or anklo deep, but as
soon as their feet touched tho water it
vanished. And it makes mo think thai
almost all the obstacles of life need only
be approached in order to be conquered.
Difficulties but touched vanish. It is tht
trouble, tho difficulty, tho obstacle far in
the distance, that seems bo hugo and tre
mendous. Tho apostles Paul and John seemed to
dislike cross dogs, for the apostle Paul
tells us in Philippians, "Bowaroof dogs,''
and John Eeoms to shut thogato of heav
en against all tho canino species when he
says, "Without aro dogs." But I have
been told that when thoso animals are
furious, if thoy come at you, if you will
keep your eye on them and advance up
on them thoy will rotreat. Whether
that bo so or not I cannot tell, but I do
know that tho vast majority of the mis
fortunes and trials and disasters of youi
life that hounds your steps, if you can
only get your eye on them, and keep
your eye on thom, and advance upon
them, and cry, "Begono," thoy will slink
and cower.
A BEAUTIFUL TRADITION.
There is a beautiful tradition among
tho American Indians that Manitou was
traveling in tho invisible world, and one
day ho catno to a barrier of brambles and
sharp thorns, wldch forbade his going
on, and there was a wild beast glaring at
him from tho tldcket, but as ho deter
mined to go on his way ho did pursue it,
and thoso brambles were found to bo only
phantoms, and that beast was found to
bo a powerless ghost, and tho impassable
river that forbade him rushing to em
brace the Yaratilda proved to bo only a
phantom river.
Well, my friends, the fact is there are
a great many things that look terrible
across our pathway, which, when wo ad
vance upon them, are only tho phan
toms, only tho apparitions, only tho do
lusions of life. Difficulties touched are
conquered. Put your feet into tho brim
of tho water, and Jordan retreats. You
somo times 6eo a great duty to perform.
It is a very disagreeable dnty. You say,
"I can't go through it; I haven't the
courngo, I haven't tho intelligence, to go
through it," Advance upon it, Jordan
will vanish.
I always sigh before I begin to preach
at the greatness of tho undertaking, but
aa soon as 1 start it becomes to me an
exhilaration. And any duty undertaken
with a confident spirit becomes a pleas
ure, and tho higher tho duty the higher
tho pleasure Difficulties touched aro
conquered. There aro a great many peo
plo who are afraid of death In tho future.
Good John Livingston once, on a sloop
coining from Elizabethport to New York,
was dreadfully frightened because he
thought ho was going to W drowned as
a sudden gust came np. People were
surprised at him. If any.raan in all tho
world was ready to die, It was good John
Livingston.
So there aro now a grent many good
people who ehuddsr In passing a grave-1
.yard, and Uiey luruiy umo tuiuk oi
Canaan bocanso of tho Jordan that in
tervenes. Hut ouco they nro down on n
lick bed, then all their fears nro gone
tho waters of death dashing on tho beach
aro liko tho mellow voice of ocean shells
they smell of tho blossoms of tho trco
of life. Tho music of tho heavenly choirs
comes stealing over tho waters, and to
cross now is only a pleasant sail. How
long tho boat is comingl Como, Lord
Jesus, como quickly. Cliribt tho Priest
advanced nhead, and tho dying Christian
goes over dry shod on coral beds and
Dowers of heaven nnd paths ol pearl
Oh, could no mako our doubts rctnoe
Thcso gloomy doubts that rise
And lew tho Canaan that we love
With unboclouded eyes!
Conld we but climb where Moses stood
And viow the lamlscapo o'er.
Not Jordan's stream nor doath's told flood
Could fright us from the shore
Again, this Jordanic passage teaches
mo tho completeness of everything that
God does. When God put an invisible
dam across Jordan, nnd it wns halted, it
would havo been natural, you would
havo supposed, for tho water to havo
overflowed tho region all around about,
and that groat devastation would havo
taken place, but when God put the dam
in front of the river he put a dam on the
other side of tho river, so that, according
to tho text, tho water halted and reared
and stood thero and not' overflowing tho
surrounding country. Oh, tho complete
ness of everything thai; God doesl
Ono would havo thought that, if tho
waters of Jordan had dropped until they
wore only two or throe feet deep, the Is
raelites might havo marched through ii
and haVe come up on the other" bank
with their clothes saturated and their
garments like thoso of men coming ashoro
from shipwreck, and that would havo
been as wonderful a deliverance, but God
does something better than that. When
tho priests' feet touched the waters of
Jordan and they were drawn off, they
might have thought there would have
been a bed of mud and slimo through
which tho army should pass.
Draw off tho waters of tho Hudson or
the Ohio, and thero would be a good
many days, and perhaps many woeks,
beforo tho sediment would dry up, and
yet hero in an instant, immediately, God
provides a path through the depths of
Jordan. It is so dry tho passengere do
not even got their foet damp. Oh, tho
completeness of everything that God
doesl Docs he make a universe? It is a
perfect clock, running evor since it was
wound up, tho fixed stars tho pivots, the
constellations tho mtermovlng wheels,
and ponderous laws tho weights and
mighty swinging pendulum, tho stars in
tho great domo of night striking tho mid
night, and tho sun, with brazen tongue,
tolling the hour of noon.
Tho wildest comet has a chain of law
that it cannot break. Tho thistle down
flying before tho schoolboy's breath is
controlled by the same law that controls
thosunand the planets. Tho rosebush
in your window is governed by tho same
principle that governs tho tree of the
universo on which tho stars aro ripening
frnits, and on which God will one day
put his hand and shake down tho fruit
a perfect universe. No astronomy has
ever proposed an amendment.
A COMPLETE BIBLE.
Ii God makes a Bible, it is a complete
Bible. Standing amid tho dreadful and
delightful truths, you seem to be in tho
midst of an orchestra whero tho wailings
over sins, and the rejoicings over pardon,
and tho martial strains of victory mako
the chorus like an anthem of eternity.
This book seems to you tho ocean of
truth, on every wavo of which Christ
walks sometimes in the darkness of
prophecy, again in tho splendors with
which ho walks on Galileo. In this book
apostlo answers to prophet, Paul to Isa
iah, Revelation to Genesis glorious
light, turning midnight sorrow into tho
midnoon joy, dispersing every fog, hush
ing every tempest. Take this book; it
la tho kiss of God on the soul of lost man.
Perfect Bible, complete Biblel No man
has ever proposed any improvement.
God provided a Saviour. He Is a com
plete Saviour God-man divinity and
humanity united in the samo person.
He Bet up tho starry pillars of tho uni
verse and tho towers of light. He plant
ed the cedars and the heavenly Lebanon.
He struck out of tho rock tho rivers of
life, singing under tho trees, Binging un
der tho thrones. Ho quarried the sar
donyx and crystal and tho topaz of tho
heavenly wall. Ho put down the jasper
for tho foundation and heaped up the
amethyst for tho capital and swung the
12 gates which are 12 pearls. In ono in
stant he thought out a universe, and yet
he becamo a child crying for his mother,
feeling along tho Bides of the manger,
learning to walk.
Omnipotence sheathed in tho muscle
and flesh of a child's arm; omniscience
strung in tho optio nervo of a child's oye;
infinite lovo beating in a child's heart; a
great God appearing in tho form of a
child 1 year old, 6 years old, 15 years
old. While all tho heavens were as
cribing to him glory and honor and
power on earth, men said, "Who is this
fellow?' While all the heavenly hosts,
with foldod wing about their faces,
bowed down beforo him crying "Holy,
holy I" on earth, they denounced him as a
blasphemer and a sot. Rocked in a boat
on Gonnesaret, and yet ho it is tbat un
dirked tho lightning from tho storm
cloud and dismasted Lebanon of iU for
ests and holds the five oceans on tho tip
of his finger as tho leaf holds tho rain
drop. Oh, tho completo Saviour, rubbing Ids
hand over the place whero wo havo tho
pain, yet tho stars of heaven the adorn
ing gems of hia right hand. Holding ns
in Ids arms when wo take our last view
of our dead. Sitting down with us on
the tombstone, and while we plant roses
there he planting consolation in our
heart, every chapter a stalk, every verso
a stem, every word a rose. A complete
Saviour, a completo Biblo, a complete
universe, a complete Jordanic passago.
Everything that God does U complete.
OBSTACLES TO OVERCOUE.
Again, I leans from thto Jordanio pas
sage that between ns and every Canaan
of success and prosperity there is a river
that must be pawed. "Ofe, bow lVotud
like seme (hose grapeao
oilur j
sidol" said eoaio of tho Israelites to
Joshua. "Well," says Joshua, "if you
want tho grapes, why don't you cross
over and get thorn?" There is a river of
diUlcnlty between ns and every thing that
is worth having. That which costs noth
ing ii worth nothing.
God didn't intend this world for nn
easy parlor, through which wo nro to bo
drawn in a rocking chair, but wo aro to
work our pabsago, climb masts, fight
battles, scalo mountains and ford rivers.
God makes everything valuable difficult
to got at, for tho samo reason that ho put
tho gold Aovni in tho mino nnd tho pearl
cloar down in tho sea to make us dig
and divo for them. Wo acknowledge
this principle in worldly things; oh, that
we woro only wiso enpugh to acknowl
edge it in religious things!
You havo scores of illustrations undor
your own observation whero men havo
had tho hardest lot and been trodden
under foot, and yet after awhile had it
easy. Now their homes blossom and
bloom with picturos, and carpots that
mado foreign looms laugh now embrace
their foot; tho summer winds lift the
tapestry about tho 'window gorgeous
enough for a Tnrkish sultan; impatient
steeds paw and neigh at tho door, their
carriages moving through tho sea of
Now York life a very wave of splendor.
Who Is it? Why, it is a boy who came
to Now York with a dollar in his pocket
and all his estate slung over his shouldor
in a cotton handkerchief. All that silver
on tho dancing span is petrified sweat
drops; that beautiful dross is tho faded
calico over which God put his hand of
perfection, turning it to Turkish satin or
Italian silk; thoso diamonds aro tho tears
which suffering froze as thoy fell, Oh,
thero is a river of difficulty between ua
and overy earthly achievement. You
know that. You admit that.
You know this is so with regard to the
acquisition of knowledge. Tho ancients
used to say that Vulcan struck Jupiter
on tho head, and the goddess of wisdom
jumped out, illustrating tho truth that
wisdom comes by hard knocks. There
was a river of difficulty between Shake
speare, tho boy, holding tho horses at the
door of tho London theater, and that
Shakespeare; the greati dramatist, win
ning the applause of all audiences by his
tragedies. There was a river between
Benjamin Franklin, with a loaf of bread
under his arm, walking tho streets of
Philadelphia, and that samo Benjamin
Franklin, tho philosopher, just outsido
of Boston flying a kito in tho thunder
storm. An idler waB cured of hia bad habit by
looking through tho window, night after
night, at a man who seemed sitting at
his desk turning off ono sheot of writing
after another until almost tho dawn of
tho morning. Tho man sitting there
writing until morning was industrious
Walter Scott; tho man who looked at
him through the window was Lockhart,
his illustrious biographer afterward.
Lord Mansfield, pursued by the press and
by tho populaco, because of a certain line
of duty, went on to discharge the duty,
and while tho mob were around him de
manding the taking of his lifo ho shook
his fist in the face of the mob and said,
"Sirs, when one's last end comes, it can
not como too soon if ho falls in defense
of law and the liberty of his country."
And so thoro is, my friends, a tug, a
tussle, a trial, a push, an anxiety,
through which every man must go be
foro ho comes to worldly success and
worldly achievement. You admit it.
Now be wise enough to apply it in reli
gion. Eminent Christian character is
only gained by tho Jordanio passago; no
man just happened to get good.
Why docs that man know so much
about the Scriptures? He was studying
tho Biblo while you were reading a
novel. He was on firo with the sublimi
ties of the Biblo while you wero sound
asleep; by tug, tussle, pushing and run
ning in the Christian lifo that man got
so strong for God; in a hundred Solfor
inos ho learned how to fight; In a hun
dred shipwrecks ho learned how to swim.
Tears over sin, tears over Zion's desola
tion, tears over tho impenitent, tears
over the graves made, aro tho Jordan
which that man had passed. Sorrow
pales tho cheek, and fades the eye, and
wrinkles tho brow; and withers tho hands.
Thoro aro mourning garments in the
wardrobe, and thero aro deaths in every
family record; all around aro tho relics
of the dead.
THE JORDAN OF DEATH.
The Christian has passed tho Rod sea
of troublo, and yet he thinks thero is a
Jordan of death botweon him and heav
en. Ho comes down to that Jordan of
death and thinks how many havo been
lost thero. When Molyneux was explor
ing tho Jordan in Palestine, ho had his
boats all knocked to pieces in tho rapids
of that rivor. And thero aro a great
many men who havo gono down in tho
river of death; the Atlautio and Pacific
havo not swallowed so many. It is an
awful thing to make shipwrecks on tho
rock of ruin masts falling, hurricanes
flying, death coming, groaninga in tho
wator, moanings in tho wind, thunder in
tho sky, while God, with the finger of
lightning, writes all over tho sky, "I will
tread them in my wrath, and I will tram
ple thom in my fury."
Tho Christian comes down to this rag
ing torrent, and he knows ho must pass
out, and as he comes toward tho timo
hia breath gets shorter, und his last
breath leaves him as he steps Into tho
stream, and no sooner does he touch the
stream than it ia parted, and he goes
through dry shod, whilo all tho waters
wavo their plumes, crying: "O death,
whtre is thy sting? O gravo, whore in
thy victory?' God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes, and thero shall bo
no moro weeping, and thero shall bo no
more death.
Some of your children havo already
gono up tho other bank, You lot them
down on this sldo of the bank; they will
be on tho other bank to heln von ut with
supernatural strength. The other morn
ing at ray table, all ray family present, I
thought to myself how pleasant it would
I bo if I could put all in a boat and then
go in with them, and we could pull acroM.
the river to tho next world and be there
all together, No family parting, no
gloomy obseqnle. It wouldn't take five
wlaatee to go from bask to bask, and
ttuq fa that better world to be together
forever. Wouldn't it bo pleasant for you
to toko all your family into that blessed
country If you could all go togothcr?
I remember ray mothor in her dy
ing hour said to my father, "Father,
wouldn't it bo pleasant if wo could all
go together?" But we cannot all go to
gothor. Wo must go ono by ono, and
wo must bo grateful if wo get thoro at
all. What q heaven it will bo if we
havo all our families thero to look
around and seo all tho children aro pres
ent I You would rather havo thom all
thero, and you go with bare brov for
ever, than that ono should bo missing
to completo tho garlands of hmivcn for
your coronal. Tlio Lord God of Joshua,
givo thom a safo Jordanio passago!
Evon children will go through dry shod.
Thoso of us who woro brought up in tho
country1 remember, when the summer
was coming on in our boyhood days, wo
always longed for tho day whon wo woro
to go barefooted, and after teasing our
mothers in regard to it for a good whilo,
and thoy consented, wo remember tho de
licious 6onsation of tho cool grass when
wo put our uncovered foot on it.
And tho timo will como when thcso
shoes wo wear now, lest wo bo cut of the
sharp ploces of this world, shall bo taken
off, and with unsandaled foot wo will
stop into tho bod of tho river; with feet
untrammoled, free from pain and fa
tigue, we will gain that last journey,
when, with one foot in tho bed of tho
rivor and tho other foot on tho other
bank, wo struggle upward. That will
be heaven. Oh, I pray for all my dear
people a safo Jordanio passago! That is
what tho dying Christian husband felt
when ho Baid: "How tho candlo flickers,
Nellie! Put It out. I shall sleep well to
night and wako in tho morning."
COMFORT rOR THE BEREAVED.
Ono word of comfort on this subject
for all tho bereaved. You seo, our de-
Eartod friends have not been submerged,
avo not been ewamped in the waters.
They havo only crossed over. Thcso
Israelites wero just as thoroughly alivo on
the western banks of tho Jordan as they
hod been on the eastern banks of tho
Jordan, and our departed Christian
frienda havo only crossed over not sick,
not dead, not exhausted, not extin
guished, not blotted out, but with
healthier respiration, and stouter pulses,
and keener oyesight, nnd hotter prospects
crossed over, their sins, thoir physical
and mental disquiet, all left clear this
sido, an eternally flowing, Impassablo
obstacle botwocn thom and all human
and satanio pursuit. Crossed ovor I Oh,
I ahako hands of congratulation with
all tho bereaved in tho consideration that
our departed Christian frionds nro safe!
Why was thoro so much joy in certain
circles in New York when peoplo heard
from tho frionds who wero on board that
belated stoamor? It was feared that ves
sel had gone to tho bottom of tho sea,
and when the friends on this side heard
that tho steamer had arrived safely In
Liverpool, had wo not a right to congrat
ulate tho peoplo in Now York that their
friends had got safely across? And is it
not right this 'morning that I congratu
late you that your departed frionds aro
safo on tho shore of heaven? Would you
havo them back again? Would you have
thoso old paronts back again? You know
how hard it was sometimes for them to
get their breath in tho stifled atmosphere
of the summer. Would you have them
back in this weather? Didn't they use
thoir brain long enough? Would you
have your children back again? Would
you havo them tako tho risks of tempta
tion which throng overy human path
way? Would you havo thom cross the
Jordan threo times? In addition to cross
ing it already, cross it again to greet you
now and thon cross baok afterward? For
certainly you would not want to keep
them forever out of heaven.
Pauso and weep, not for the freed from patn,
But that the sigh of love would bring them back
again.
I ask a quostion, and there Beema to
como bock tho answer in heavnly eche:
"What, will you never bo sick again?'
"Never flick again." "What, will you
novor be tired again? "Never tired
again." "What, will you nover weep
again?' "Never weep again." "What,
will you nover dio again?' "Nover die
again."
On, yo army of departed kindred, wo
hail yon from bank to bank! Wait for
na when the Jordan of death shall part
for us. Como down and moot ua half
way botwoen tho willowed banka of
earth and tho palm groves of heaven.
May our great High Priest go ahead of.
ns, and with bruised feet touch tho wa
ter, and then shall be fulfilled tho words
of my text, "All Israel went ovC on dry
ground until all tho peoplo wore gono
clear through Jordan."
If I ask you what shall bo tho glad
hymn of this morning, I think thero
would be a thousand voices tliat would
choose tho samo hymn tho hymn that
Illumines so many death chambers the
hymn that has been tho porting hymn
in many an instance tho old hymn:
On Jordan's stormy hanks I stand
And cast a wistful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
