AX AGITATED JAILER * REV. DR. TALMAGE'S CALL TO THE UNCONVERTED. The Philippian Sheriff and Gis Gaming Question?How Pardon Flashes From tho Throne of God to the Earnest Seeker For It. Washington, Dec. 20.?For the closing discourse of the year Rev. Dr. Talin ago chose a subject which appeals to the unconverted everywhere?viz, "The Philippian Jailer." The text selected was, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Acts xvi, 30. Incarcerated in a Philippian penitentiary, a place cold and dark and damp and loathsome and hideous, unilluinined save by the torch of the official who comes to see if they aro alive yet, are two ministers of Christ, their feet fast in instrumentsof torture, their shoulders dripping from the stroke of leathern thongs, their mouths hot with inflammation of thirst, their heads faint because they may not lie down. In a comfortable room of that same building and amid pleasant surroundings is a paid officer of the government whose business it is to superviso the prison. It is night, and all is still in the corridors of the dungeon save as scmo murderer struggles with a horrid dream, or a ruffian turns over in his chains, or there is the cough of a dying consumptive amid the dampness, but suddenly, crash! go the walls. The two clergymen pass out free. The jail keeper, althongh tamiiiar \vitix the darkness aud the horrors hovering around the dungeon, is startled beyond all bounds, and flambeau in hand he rushes through, amid the falling walls, shouting at the top of his voice, "Sirs, what ruuSt I do to be saved?" I stand now among those who are asking the same question with mere or fless earnestness, and I accost you in this crisis of your soul with a message from heaven. There are those in this audience who might be more skillful in argument than I am; these are these here who cau dive into deeper depths of scienco or have larger knowledge; there are in this audience those before whom I would willingly bow as the inferior to the superior, but I yield to no one in this assemblage in a desire to have all the people saved by the power of an omnipotent gcspeL .Toll ZZ OnAfttlnn. I shall proceed to characterize tho question cf the agitated jail keeper. And first I characterize the question as courteous. Ee ruight have rushed in and said: "Paul and Silas, you vagabonds, are you tearing down this prison? Aren't you satisfied with disturbing the peace of the city by your infamous doctrines? And are you now going to destroy public property? Back with you to your places, you vagabonds!" He said no such thing. The word of four letters, "sirs," equivalent to "lords," recognized the majesty and tho lienor of their mission. Sirs! If a man with a captious spirit tries to find the way to heaven, he will miss it. If a man comes out and pronounces all Christians as hypocrites and the religion of Jesus Christ as a fraud and asks irritating questions about the mysterious and inscrutable, saying, "Come, my wise man, explain this and explain that; if this bo true, how can that be time?" no such man finds the way to heaven. The question of the text was decent, courteous, gentlemanly, deferential. Sirs! Again, I characterize this question of t" the agitated jail keeper by saying that it was a practical question. Ho did not ask why God let sin como into the world; he did not ask how Christ could be God and man in tho same porson; he did uot ask the doctrine of the dccrecscxplaiued or want to know whom Cain married or what was the causo of the car!liquate. His present and everlasting welfare was involved in the question, and was not that practical? But I know multitudes cf people who are bothering themselves about tho nonessentials of religion. What would you think cf a man who should, while discussing the question cf the light and heat of tho sun, spend his time down in a coal cclJ lar when he might come out and seo M the one and feel the other? Yet there are multitudes of men who, in discassH iug the chemistry of tho gospel, spend I their time down in tho dim goon of their unbelief when God all the while stands telling theiu to conic out into tho noonday light and warmth of the sun of righteousness. The question for yon, my brother, to discuss is not whether Calvin or Arminius was right, not whether a handful cf water in holy baptism or a ~ baptistery is the better, net whether foreordination and free agency can bo J harmonized. The practical question for you to discuss and for 1110 to discuss is, "Where will I spend eternity?" "What Shall I Do?" Again, I characterize this question of the agitated jail keeper as one personal to himself. I have no doubt he had many friends, and he was interested in their welfare. I have no doubt ho found that there were persons in that prison who, if tiie earthquake had destroyed them, would havo found their case desperate. He is not questioning about them. The whole weight of his question turns on the pronoun "I." "What shall I do?" Of course when a man becomes a Christian he immediately ly becomes anxious for the salvation of other people, but until that point is A reached tho most important question is K \ about ymr own salvation. "What is to ; \be my destiny?" "What are my prosHkf \ects for the future?" "Where am I go- j Hft \g?" "What shall I do?" Thetrouble I Hh ^ we shuffle the responsibility oil upon j 'others. We prophesy a bad end to that inebriate, and terrific exposure to tint j defaulter, and awful catastrophe to that profligate.

Blot j out this entire andienco except yourself. Your sin, is it pardoned? Your death, ; is it provided for? Your heaven, is it I secured? A mightier earthquake than I that which demolished the Phiiippian j penitentiary will rumble about your ears. The foundations of the earth will give way. The earth by one tremor will liing all the American cities into the dust. Cathedrals and palaces and prisi ons which have stood for thousands of ! years will topple like a child's blockhouse. The surges of the sea will submerge the land and the Atlantic and Pacifiq oceans above the Alps rnd tlie Andes clap their hands. What then will become of me? What then will become of yon? I do not wonder at the anxiety of this mmi of my text, for lie was not only anxious about tho falling of the prison, but the falling of a world. Invest In Ktcrnal .Securities. Again, I remark, I characterize this question of the agitated jail keeper as one of incomparable importance. Men are alike, and I suppose lie had scores of questions on bis mind, but all questions for this world are hushed up, forgotten, annihilated in this one question of tho text, "What must I do to be saved?" And havo yon, my brother, any question of importance compared with that question? Is it a question of business? Your common sense tells you that you will soon cease worldly business, ion know very well that you will soon pas:out of that partnership. You know that, beyond a certain point, of all the millions of dollars' worth of goods sold you will not handle a yard of cloth, or i a pound of sugar, or a penny's worth. | After that, if a conflagration should sweep all Washington into ashes, it j would not touch 3*ou, and would not damage you. If every cashier should abscond and every bank suspend payment and every insurance company fail, it would not affect you. Ob, how insig' nificant is business this side tha grave with business on the other sido the grave! Have you made any purchases for eternity? Have you any securities that will last forever? Aro yen jobbing for time when you might be wholesaling for eternity? Is there any question so broad at the base, so altitudinous, so overshadowing as the question, "What must I do to be saved?" Or, is it a domestic question, is it something about | father or mother cr husband or wife or j son cr daughter that is the more impor| tant question? Y'cu know by universal I and inexorable law that relation 'will soon be broken t.p. Father will be gone, I mother will bo gone, children will be \ gone, you will be gone, but after that | the question of the text will begin tc ! harvest its chief gains or deplore its ! worst losses or roil up its mightiest j maguitndo or sweep its vaster circles. What Difference Does It 31alee? Oh, what a question, what an imporI tant question! Is there any question | that compares with it in importance: What is it now to Napoleon III whether ho triumphed or surrendered at Sedan, whether ho died at the Tuileries or Chiselhurst, whether he was emperor or j exile? Eecausc ho was laid oat in the | coffin in the dress of a field marshal, did that give him any hotter chance tor the future than if lio had Leon laid out in a plain shroud? What difference will it soon make to yen or to mc whether in this world we walked or rode, whether we wero bowed to or maltreated, whether wo were applauded or hissed at, welcomed in or kicked out: While laying hold of Gvcry moment of the future and burning in every splendor or every grief and overarching or uudergirding all ! time and all eternity will bo the plain, startling, infinite, stupendous question i of the test, " What must I do to be I saved?" Again, I characterize this question of the agitated jail keeper as one crushed out by his misfortunes, pressed out by his misfortunes. The falling of the penitentiary, his occupation was gone. Besides that the flight of a prisoner was j ordinarily the death of the jailer. lie I was hold responsible. If all had gone ; well, if the prison walls had not b'.cn I shaken of the earthquake, if the prisouI ers had all staid quiet in tho stocks, if the morning sunlight had calmly dropj ped on the jailer's pillow, do you think i lie would have hurled this rodhot question from his soul into tho ear of his apostolic prisoners? Ah, no. You knowas well as I do it was tho earthquake that roused him up. And it is trouble that starts a great many people to asking the same question. It has been so with a multitude cf you. Your apparel is not as bright as it onco was. Why have you changed the garb? Do you not like solferino and crimson andpurplo as well as once? Yes. But you say: "While I was prospered and happy those colors i were accordant with my feelings. Now | they would be discord to my soul." And so yon have plaited up the shadows into your apparel. The world is a very different placo from what it was once for | you! Once you said, "Oh, if I ecu!*! | only have it quiet a little while." It is i too quiet. Some people say that they would not I bring back their departed friends from heaven even if they hud the opportu liity, but if you had the opportunity you would briug back your loved ones, tiiid soon their feet would be sounding in the hall, and soon their voices would be heard in the family, and the old times would come back just as the festal clays of Christmas and Thanksgiving?days gone forever. Oh, it is the earthquake ; that startled you to asking this question ?the earthquake of domestic misfortune. Death is so cruel, so devouring, so relentless, tha'; when it swallows up our loved ones we must have some one to whom we can carry our torn and bleeding hearts. We need a balsam better than anything that ever exuded from earthly tree to heal the pang of the soul. It is pleasant to have our friends gather around us and tell us how sorry they are, and try to break up the loneliness, but nothing but the hand of Jesus Christ can take the bruised soul and put it in his bosom, hushing it with the lullaby of heaven. O brother! O sister! The gravestone will never be lifted from your heart until Christ lifts it. Was it not O.. 1 / __ .i me joss oi you menus, or me persecution of your enemies, or tbo overthrow of your worldly estate?was it not an earthquake that started yon out to ask this stupendous question of my text? It an Ouestion. But 2 remark again, I characterize tlrs question of the agitated jail keeper as hasty, urgent and immediate. He put it on the run. By the light of his torch as he goes to look for the apostles, bohold his face, see the startled look and see the earnestness. No cno can doubt by that look that the man is in earnest. He must have that question answered before the earth stops rooking, or perhaps he will never have it answered at all. Is that the way, my brother, my sister, you are putting this question? Is it on the run? Is it hasty; Is it urgent? Is it immediate? If it is not, it will not be answered. That is the only kind of question that is answered. It is the urgent and immediate question of tho gospel Christ answers. A great many are asking this question, but they drawl it out, and there is indifference in their manner, as if they do not mean it. Make it an urgent question and then yen will have it answered before an hour passes, before a minute pusses. \Yhen a man with all I a Jk noTHER5 i ^ * recovering from . tending child- 1 ^rt^' OI* W^? 5Ut" 1 wimM v fects of disorders, 1 lifiran gem cuts : /f-*t v WJJkiiv an(^ displace- , qf jfi J IftT^y xncr.tsof the wo- ; /? manly organs, will find relief J and a permanent cure in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

Oh, arc there not in this house today 1 those who are postponing until tho last | hour of living the attending to the things of the soul? I give it as my 1 opinion that ninety-nine out of the one hundred deathbed repentances amount ( 1 to nothing. Of all tho scores of persons mentioned as dying in the Bible, of how many do you read that they successfully ronented in tho last hour? Of 50? No. Of 40? No. Of 30? No. Of 20? No. Of 10? No. Of 5? No. Of 1? Only one, barely one, as if to demonstrate the fact that thcio is a bare possibility cf repent- " ing in the last hour. But that is imrv-nhobla ftwfnTIv imnrrihnhlp. l.pirif " '"-""J 1 T | ically improbable. One hundred to ' cuo against tho man. If, my brother, ' mv sister, you have ever seen a man try to repent in the last hour, you have seen something very sad. I do not . know anything on earth so sad as to seo a man try to repent on a deathbed. There is not from the moment that life begins to breathe in iufancy to tho \ last gasp such an unfavorable, com- g pletely unfavorable, hour for repentance \ as the death hour, the last hour. There [ are the doctors standing with tho r medicines. There is the lawyer stand ing with the half written will. Thero is tiie family in consternation as to what is t<? become of them. All the bells of | eternity ringing the soul out of tho body. All tho past rising before us and ^ all Use future. Ob, that man is an infi- c nito fool who procrastinates to tho i deathbed his repentance! i This 3Iuy ilo Yonr I.nst Chance. f My ie.vt does not answer the question, ? It only asks it, with deep and importunate earnestness asks it, and according ^ to tho rules of sermonizing you would ^ ' say, "Adjourn that to some other time," but I dare not. What are the rules of c sermonizing to me when I am after souls: What other time could I have l when perhaps this is the only time: s This might bo my last time for preach- y ing; tliis might be your last time for c hearing. After my friend in Philadelphia died, his children gave his church Bible to * mo, and I read it, looked over it with t much interest. I saw in the margin, 1' written in lead pencil, "Mr. Talmage said this morning that the most useless ( tiling in God's universe is tiiat any sin- ] tier should perish." I did not remember { saying it, but it is true, and I say it now whether I said it then or not?the ? most useless thing in all God's universe is that any sinner should perish. Twelve F gates wide open. Have you not heard 1 how Christ bore our sorrows, and how sympathetic ho is with all our woes! kHavo you not heard how that with all t the sorrows of heart and all the agonies of hell upon him, lie cried, "Father, ii forgive them, they know not what they ? do?" By his feet blistered of the moun- ^ tain way, by his back whipped until t lie skin came oft', by bis death couch of v four spikes, two for tho hands and two ^ for the feet; by iiis sepulcher, in which for the first time for years the cruel world let him alone, and by the heavens from which he now bends in compas- t! sion, offering pardon and peace and a life eternal to all your souls, I beg of b you put down your all at bis feet. I saw one hanging on a tree t In agony and blood, ], Who fixed his languid eyes on mo As near his cross I stood. * V Oh, never till my latest breath Will 1 forget that look. It seemed to charge me with his death, ? Though not a word l:e spoke. Sir John Cochrane*? Escape. j In the troubled times of Scotland Sir ; John Cochrane was condemned to death ^ ! by the king. The death warrant was 011 ! the way. Sir John Cochrane was bidj ding farewell to his daughter Crizel at 11 | the prison door. Ho said: "Farewell, | my darling child! I must die." His j daughter said, "No, father, you shall ! not die." "But," ho said, "the king is : against me, and the law is after 1110, * ! and the death warrant is ou its way, ! and I must die; do not deceive your! self, my dear child." The daughter ! said, "Father, you shall not die," as she left the prison gate. At night, on the inocrs of Scotland, a disguised way| farer stood waiting for the horseman j carrying tne mailbags containing the j death warrant. The disguised wayfarer, as the horse came by, clutched the ' bridle and shouted to the rider?to the : man who carried the mailbags, "Dismount!" He felt for his arms and was | about to shout, but the wayfarer jerked | him from his saddle, and he fell flat. ! The wayfarer picked up the mailbags, j put them on his shoulder and vanished in the darkness, and 14 days were thus ?, ViUUVU 1UI 111*7 jU l^UJUrJ. S? iJ ir, UUUU^ ca j which the lather confessor was pleadi ing f?r the pardon of Sir John Cochrane. Tiie secoi d time the death warrant is j on its way. The disguised wayfarer comes along and asks for a little breadaud a little wine, starts on across the ; moors, and they say: "Poor mail, to j have to ge out on such a stormy night. It is dark and yon will lose yourself 011 jthe moors." "Oh, no,"lie says, "I will not." He trudged on and stopped amid 3 | the brambles and waited for the horse- . i man to come carrying the inailbags ! containing tho death warrant of Sir q John Cochrane. The mail carrier spurred 011 his steed, for he was fearful be- ? ! cause <>f what had occurred on tlie forQ mer journey, spurred on his steed, when t= ' suddenly through the. storm and through the darkness there was a flash of firei arms and the horse became unmannse I able, ami as the mail carrier dischuria fiis pistol in response the hor.se fii-ng liini, and the disguised wayfarer put his foot <-n the breast of the overthrown rider and said, "surrender now!" The mail carrier surrendered his arms, and j the disguised wayfarer put upon his j shoulders the mailbags, leaped upon | the horse and sped away into the dark- j uess, gaining 14 more days for t lie poor prisoner, Sir John Cochrane, and before I be 14 days had expired pardon had cotno from the king. The door of the prison swung open, and Sir John Cochrane was free. One day when he was standing amid his friends, they congratulating him, the disguised wayfarer appeared at tho gate, and he said, j "Admit him right away." The dis- ! Kuised wayfarer came in and said, I "Here are two letters; read them, sir, and cast them into the fire." .Sir John Uoehranc read them. They were his two death warrants, and he threw them i into the fire. Then said Sir John Coch- I rane: "To whom am I indebted? Who is this poor wayfarer that saved my life? Who is it?" A Death Warrant From Ileaven. And tho wayfarer pulled aside and pulled off the jerkin and tho cloak and the hat, and, le! it was Grizcl. the daughter cf Sir John Cochrane. "Gracious heaven!" he cried. "?.Jy child, my savior, my own Grizol!" But a more thrilling story. The death warrant had :ome forth from tho king of heaven and earth. The death warrant read, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." The death warrant coming on the black horse of eternal night. We mast die! \Yc mast die! But breasting the storm and putting cut through the darkness was a disguised wayfarer who gripped by tho bridle tho oncoming doom and flung it back, and put his wounded and bleeding foot on the overthrown rider. Meanwhile pardon flashed from the throne, and, Go free! Open the gate! Strike off the chain! Go free! And today your liberated soul stands in the presence of the disguised wayfarer, and as he pulls off the disguiso of his earthly humiliation and the disguise of his thorns and the disguise of the seamless robe, you lind lie is bone of your bone, flesh of your flesh, your brother, your Christ, your pardon, your eternal life. Let all earth and heaven break forth iu vociferation. Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! A guilty, weak and helpless worm, On thy kind arm I fail; Be thou my strength and righteousness, ily Jesus aud my all.
