A>r. Tannage in a Timely Discourse,
Discusses Spiritual Archerr.
In this disoourso Dr. Talmago urges
all Christian workers to increased iidolii
ty and shows how muoh etlort at doiDg
good fails through laok of adroitness;
text, Genesis x, 9, "Ho was a mighty
hunter before tho Lord."
In our day hunting ie a sport, but iu
the lands and tho times infested of
wild beasts it was a matter of life or
death with tho people. It was very
different from goiug out on a sunshiny
afternoon with a patent breoohloador
to Bhoot redbirds on tho flats, when
Pollux and Achilles and Diomodes
went out to o'ear tho land of lions and
panthers and boars. Xenophon grew
l|> eloquent in regard to tho art of hunting.
la tho far east poople, elephant
mounted, chasod tho tigor. Francis I
was oalled tho father of hunting. And
Mosea, in my text, sots forth Nimrod as
a hero, when it presents him with broad
t shoulders and shaggy apparol and sun
browned face and arm bunched with
musole, "a mighty hunter boforo tho
Lord." 1 think ho used tho bow and
the arrows with great sucaoss practicing
atchery.
1 havo thought if it is suoh a grand
thing and suoh a bravj thing to clear
wild boasts out of a country if it is not
a better and braver thing to huot down
and destroy thoso great evils of sooicty
that aro stalking tho land with fioico
oyo and bloody paw and sharp tusk
and quick spring. 1 have wondered if
there is not suoh a thing as gospel irchery,
by which thoso who havo boon flying
from tho truth may bo captured for
God and hcavon. The Lord Jesus in
his sermon used the art of angling for
I an illustration when ho said, "1 will
make jou flthors of men." And so 1
think 1 havo authority for using hunting
as an illustration of gospel truth.
y and I pray Qod that there may bo many
a man enlisted in the work who shall
begin to study gospel arohcry of whom
it may after awhile bo said, "IIo was a
mighty hunter before the Lord. '
How muoh awkward Christian woik
there is dono in the world I How many
good people then are who drive souls
away from ChriBt instead of bringing
them to him I All their fingers are
thumbs?religious blunderers who upset
moro than they right. Their gun
has a crooked barrel and kicks as it
goes off. They are like a clumsy comrade
who goes along with skillful hun
ters. At the very moment ho ought to
p . bo most quiet ho is oreckling an alder
or falling over a log and frightening
- ?yf>y thi^c "- How few Christian,
people have ever learned how the Lord
Jesus Christ at the well wont from lalkW
ing about a cup oi water to tho moat
* practical religious truths, which won
the woman's soul for God! Jesus in
tho wilderness was breaking bread to
the poople. 1 thick it was very good
thread. It was very light bread, and
the yeast had done its work thorough.
ly. Christ, after ho had broken the
broad, said to tho pooplo, "Bewaro of
the yeast or of the leaven of the Pharisees."
So natural a transition it was
and how easily they all understood hiiu !
But how few Christian pcoplo there are
who understand how to fasten tho
truths of God and roligion to tho souls
of men!
The archers of oldon timo studied
their art. Thoy were very preoiso in
tho matter. The old books gave special
directions as to how an archer should
go and as to what an aroher should do.
He must stand creot and firm, his loft
foot a littlo in advance of tho right
foot. With his left hand he must take
hold of tho bow in the middle, and then
with the three fingers and tho thumb
of his right hand ho should lay hold the
arrow and alb* it to tho string?bo
preoiso was tho direction given But
how clumsy wo arc about religious
workl How littlo bk: 11 and oaro wo exercise!
ilow often our arrows miss tho
mark! I am glad that there aro institutions
established in many cities of our
land where men may learn tho art of
doing good?studying spiritual arohcry
and become known as "mighty hunttis
boforo the Lord!"
Id tho first plaeo, if vou want to bo
effectual in doing good you must bo
very buro of your weapon. There was
something very fascinating about tho
arohory of oldon times. Perhaps you
<?o not know what they oould do with
tho bow and arrow. Why, tho chief
battles fought by tho Knglish I'lanta
genets were with tho longbow. They
would tako tho arrow of polished wood
and feather it with the pluiuo of a bird,
and thon it would tly from tho bowstring
of plaited silk. Tho bloody fields
of Aginocurt and Sol way Moss and
Neville's Cross heard the loud thrum
of tho arohcr's bowstring. Now, my
Christian friends, wo havo a mightitr
weapon than that. It is tho arrow of
tho gospol; it is a sharp arrow; it is a
straight arrow, it is fcaihored from the
wing of tho dove of God's spirit; it dios
from a bow made out of tho wood of tho
oross. As far as I oan ostiuiato or calculate,
it has brought down -100,000,000
of souls. Paul know how to bring tho
notoh of that arrow on to the bowstring,
and its whir was heard through tho
Corinthian thoators and through tho
uuutiruuui U111 11 mo K 0 COS 01 I' i 11 X
knooked together. It was that arrow
that slruok in Luther's heart when ho
cried out: "Oh, my sins! Oh, my
sins!" if it striko a man in tho head,
it kills his skepticism; if it striko him
in tho hoel, it will turn his stop; if it
striko him in tho heart, ho throws up
his hands, as did ono of old when
wounded in tho battlo, orying, "O
Galilean, thou hast con<(uorou! '
In tho armory of tho Karl of I'ombroke
thoro are old oorselets whioh
show that tho arrow of tho Knglifdi utod
to go through tho breastplato, through
tho body of tho warrior and out through
tho baokplato. What a symbol of that
gospol which is sharper than a two odged
sword, pioroing to tho dividing a&uader
of soul and body and of tho Joints and
marrow! Would to God wo had uioro
faith in that gospol! Tho humblest
man in tho world, if ho had enough
faith in it, oould brinir a hundred 60uls
to Christ?perhaps 500. Just in proportion
as this age seems to bolievo less
in it, i beliove moro and moro in it.
What are mon about that they will not
wcept %h?lr oto dolkertDde? There
nothing propcwtd by men that flan d
anything like th<s gospel.
The religion of llalph Waldd Erne
son was the philosophy of ioicles; th
religion of Theodore Parker was
siroooo of tho desert, covering up tfa
soul with dry sand; tho religion <
Kenan was tho- romance of beliovir
almost nothing: tho religion of tl
Huxloys and the Spencers is merely
pedestal on whioh human philosopl
sits shiverirg in the night of tho sou
looking up to tho stars, sffering no ho
to the nations that crouch and groan
tho base. Toll mo wbcro thero is 01
man who has rfjoote'? that go pel f
another who is Lhorogt 1/ taut-fiod at
helpod and contontcd in his skeptiois
and I will tako the car tomorrow at
ride 500 miles to see him Tho ft
power of tho gotptl has not yot bei
touched. As a spo.tman throwt t

world flying from i'.a orbit and bring

fall swing, and it will pardon cveryni
hoal ovory wound, ouro ovory troubl
emancipate every slavo and ranso
ovcry nation. Yo Christian men a:
women who go out this afternoon to ?
Christian work, as you go into tho Su
day schools, and tho lay p?*oaohing at
tions, and tho ponitentiaries, and ll
asylums, 1 want you to fool that y<

thunderbolts of heaven have do powe
it is tho arrow of tho omnipotent gospc
Tako caroful aiiu! Pull tho arrow cie
back until tho head strikes tho boi
Then lot it fly. And may tho slain

Again, if you want to bo skillful
spiritual archery you must hunt io u
frt <| rented and sod ided places. Wt
does tho hunter go thrco or four days
tho Pennsylvania forests or over R
quc?to lake into the wilds of th i Adirc
(lacks? It is tho only way to do. Tl
deer are shy, and one "bang" of tho gi
clears tho forest. From tho Californ
stage you see, as you go over the plain
here and thero a coyote trotting alct
almost within rango of tho gun?som
times quito within rango of it. N > ot
oaros for tha*. It is worthloss. Tl
good gnuo is hidden and soolulc
Kvcry hunter knows that. So many >
tho souls that will bo of most worth f
Christ and of most valuo to tho cliur*
aro scc'udod. They do not oomo inoi
way. Y'ou will havo to go where th<
arc. Yonder they arc down in that oc
lar. Yonder they aro up in that garr
?far away from tho door of any ohuro!
The gospel arrow has not been point<
at thorn. Tho trait distributer and tl
city missionary sometimes just oatch
glimpse of thorn, as a hunter throu(
tho trooB gets a momentary sight of
partridge or rocbuok. Tho troublo
we aro willing for tho game to oomo
us. Wo arc not good huntors Wo a

tcday surging up from that lower dcpl

our Christian assemblages and throug
our beautiful ohurohes, and it blots oi
all this soenc from my eves today, as 1

The re<l ee?n on Virgin la' bills
Are fceallog one by oat,
And golden grain on Mal/eMt'e side
Is waring in the atio.
The flcld wo fought, the Wood we he d,
On yonder fearful daji
New echo to the song of birda
Or sound of childish play.
And there where laet we stood arrayed,
That last sad April morn,
Forgetful Nature smiles again
With ranks of ruitling corn.
The fl'g that once did brave a world!
From its proud standard riven.
Is folded from our eight, and now
Hath no place under heaven?
Save in our hearts and in our homes
Where sadly, day by day,
The silent spiders fitting y,
Are shrouding it in grey.
But see! the strange troop fades from sight,
The last file disappears;
We cannot seo them for the night.
Or?for these blinding tears.
Now they are gone! and g >ne our dream;
And darkly o'er the town,
And o'er our hearts, and o'er our past,
Once more the night comes down.
And homeward now, with darkened brow,
Each takes his silent way;
The thoughts that ri?e within our hearts
We may not shout nor say.
Vet hai'! ye gallant riders all;
Though none may speak your praise,
Ye soe how, in a thousaud eyes,
A thousand welcomes bloze.
And many a kindly heart, I weeo,
Doth bl?Hs your ride to day.
In that ye once more bring to sight
The wearing of the grey.
Not yet forgotten is our past!
Though we to-dsy are dumb,
To night we'll tell the old days o'er .
And dream of one to oomt!
