Sin. ffliiis sffltMT WAsHixaTON, Jan. 19.? In this discourse Dr. Taimage makes practical luse of an occurrence In the orient which has seldom attracted particular attention; test, II Kings vi, C, "The iron did swim." , A theological seminary in the valley of palms, near the river Jordan, had ;become so popular in the time of Elislia, the prophet, that more accommodations were needed for the slu dents. The classrooms and the dormitories must be enlarged or uu entirely new build ins: constructed. What will they do? Will they seta! up to Jerusalem and solicit contributions for this undertaking? Will they send out agents to raise the money fcr a new theological seminary? Having raised the money, will they send for cedars of Lebanon and marble from the quarries where Aliab got the stone for the pillars and walls of his palace? No; the students propose to build it themselves. They were rugged boys, who had been brought up in the country ana wno una never ;jeeii v? vj the luxuries of city life. Ail they as!: is that Elisha. their professor a ad prophet, go along with tliem to the .woods and boss the job. They start for the work, Elisha and his students. Plenty of lumber in those -regions along the Jordan. The sycamore is a stout, strong tree and good for timber. Mr. Gladstone asked ir.e if I had seen in Palestine any sycamore tree more oeannrui man me one nr >..va?u uuuu at Hawarden. I told hii:? i had not. The sycamores Deaf the Jordan are uow attacked by Elisba's students, for they must have luml>er for the new theological seminary. 1 supt>ose some of the students made an awkward stroke, and they were extemporized axmen. Stand from under! Crash goes one of the trees and another and another. But something now happens so wonderful that the occurrence will tax the credulity of the ages, so wonderful that many still think it never happened at all. One of the students, not able to own an ax. bad borrowed one. You must remember that while the ax of olden time was much like our modern ax. it differed in the fact that instead of the helve or handle being thrust into a socket in the iron head the head of the ax was fastened on the handle by a leathern thong, and so it might slip the helve. A student of the seminary was swinging his ax against one of those trees, and whether it was at the moment be made his lirst stroke and the chips flew or was after he had cot the tree from ail sides so deep that it was ready to fall we are not told, but the ax head and the handle parted. Being near the riverside, the ax head dropped into the river and sank to the muddy bottom. Great was the student's dismay, if it had been his own ax. it would have been bad enough, but the ax did not belong to him. He had no means to buy another for the kind man who had loaned it to him. but Gcd helps the helpless, and he generally helps through some good and sympathetic soul, and in this case it was Elisha, who was in the woods and on the river bank at the time. He did not see the nx bead fly off. and so he asked the student where it dropped. He was shown the place where it went down into the river. Then Klishn broke off a branch of a tree and threw it into the water, and the ax head rose from the depths of the river and floated to the bank, so that tbe student bad just to stoop down and take np tbe restored property. Now you see the meaning: of roy text. "The iron did swim." | The Ircr. Did Suppose a hundred years a pro souie One had told people that the tiir.e would come when hundreds or ruou<ssti?Js of tons of iton would float o:i tfbe Atlantic and Pacilie ? iron ship* tfroci New York to Southampton, from Ixmdon to Calcutta, from San Kmnciseo to Canton. The man making: swli a prophecy would have Jmhui sent to an psylurrt or carefully watched as invompetcnt to alone. We have all in our day seen iron swim. Now. if man can make hundreds of tons of metal float, I am disposed to think the Almighty could make an ax toead float. * '"What," says some cue. "would t>e The use cf 6uch n miracle?** Of vast, infinite, of eternal importance. Those students were preparing for t!>e ministry. They hnd joined the theological ? x - ?'-* oiltc ntnees. jaeininnrj to gn ,?.? ,i.- ... _.0 They needed to have their faith strengthened; they needed to be persuaded that Cod can do everything: tbey needed to learn that Cod takes notice of little things; that there is no emergency of life where he is not willing to help. Standing on the banks of that Jordan, those students of that day of the recalled ax head liad their faith re-enforced, and nothing that they had found out in the classrooms of that learned institution had ever done more in the way of fitting them for their coming profession. 1 hear from different sources that there is a great deal of infidelity in some of the theological seminaries 01 our day. They think that the garden of Eden is an allegory, aud that Moses did not write the Pentateuch, and that ibe book of Job Is only n drama, aud that the book of Jonah i9 an unreliable tisb story, and that water was not turned into wine, although the liartender now by large dilution turns wine iato water, aud that most of the so called miracles of the Old and the . i . ^? . - , I\*ew Testaments were wrought by natural causes. When those Infidels graduate from the theological seminary . and take the pulpits of America a? * expounders of the Holy Scriptures, what advocates they will be of that j gospel for the truth of which the mar- j tyrs died! Hall the Polycarps and f Hugh Lot;mors and John Knoxes of j the twentieth century, believing the Bible Is true In spots! Would to God " i that some great revival of religion j might sweep through all the theolog- c i leal seminaries of this land, confirming | 1 ! the faith of the coming expounders of I 1 j an entire Bible! J 1 The Risht to Eorrow. ' I Furthermore, in that scene of the & | text God sanctions borrowing and sets ' j forth the importance of returning. I * do not think there would have been t any miracle performed if the young e | man had owned the ax that slipped J | the helve. The young man cried out . 1 in the hearing of the prophet, "Alas, j master, for it was borrowed!" Ho had i ! a right to borrow. There are times ? ! when we have not only a right to bcr- 1 ! row, but it is a dutv to borrow. There j j arc times when we ought to lend, for | Christ in his sermon on the mount declared, "From him that would borrow I of thee turn not thou away." It is j right that one borrow the means of ! getting an education, as the young stu! dent of my text borrowed the ax. It j is right to borrow means for the fcr| warding of commercial ends. Most of ' tht vast fortunes that now overshadow ! the land were hatched out of a borj rowed dollar. ! If in any assembly It were requested i that those* who had never borrowed ; hold tip their hands, none would he 1 ! lifted, or if bore and there a band were 1 ; lifted we would know tbnt it was a : ease of Invrruefty. Borrow! Why. < j we an* borrow in:; all the time. We f I borrow from the Lord the sunlight ; j that shows us our way. the water that t j slakes our thirst, the food that re- i freshes us three times a day. the pil- t low on which we slumber. We borrow ?' {rludness from our friends: we horr ?\v t all elevated surroundings. The church t borrows all its beauty fwjn the Christ i who founded it. In our son us and ser- r mens we borrow from tbe raptures of t heaven. 1 ! We borrow time; we will borrow i eternity. and that constant borrowing implies a return. For what we borrow , from God we must pay back in hearty i thanks and Christian service, in improvement of ourselves and helpfulness for others. For what we borrowin the shape of protection from good government we must pay hack in patriotic devotion. For what we l>orrow from our parents in their good example and their hard work wrought for us in our journey from <*ra<I)e to manhood or womanhood for a!! the ages to come we ought to Ik* paying back. s The halleluiahs of heaven will be re- t turned tor crucillxion agony. Dcl?t a Calamity. Haydon the painter said his n:iD be t gan the day be began to borrow mon- i ey, and he wrote in his diary, "Here J began debt and obligation, out of which l I have never been and never shall be t extricated as long as J live." Dr. j Johnson said: "Ikj not accustom your- ! i self to consider debt only as an in- t convenience. You will tlnd it a oalam- t ity." We have a right to borrow for { the absolute necessities, expecting to c pay back again, but we ought never to ^ borrow for the lux u: ies. According to r | the "Laws of A ma sis.'* in Egypt if a s ' man died without paying that which < , he had borrowed he was depriv<?d of all j t obsequies. If lhat law were in vogue ; j in our times, how many postponed and j l ! impossible funerals! <: ! Furthermore, let us admire these v young men of Elisha's th<?olog!cal seminary for the fact that they weft? earn- t ing their own way.

How do you like that sublime pastoral? Overcome Kvil. My subject also reminds uj of tha importance of keeping our chief implement for work in good order. I think that youn.tr theological student on the banks of Jordan was to blame for not examining the ax before ho lifted it that day against a tree, ne could in a moment have found out whether the helve and the head were iirmly fastened. The simple fact was the ax was not In pood order or the strongest stroke that sent the edpo into the hard sycamore would not have left the Implement headless. So God has plven every one or us an ax wmi woicu iu hew. Let us keep it in good order, having been sharpened by Bible study nnd strengthened by prayer. The reason we sometimes fail in our work is because we have a dull ax or we do not know how aright to swing it. The head is not aright on the handle. At the t!;nc we vast the ruoat skill for work and perfect equilibrium we lose our head. "We expend in useless excitement the nervous energy that we ought to have employed in direct, straightforward work. Your ax may be a pen or a type or a yardstick or a scales or a tongue which la legislative hall or business circles or Sabbath class cr pulpit Is to speak for God and righteousness, but the ax will not be worth much until it has been sharpened on the grindstone of affliction. Go right through the world, and go right through all the past ages, and show me one man or woman who has done anything for the world worth speaking- of whose a.v was not grounu on the revolving wheel of mighty trouble. It was not Pr.vIJ, for he was dethroned and hour, .led by unfilial Absalom. Surely it was not Paul, for ho was shipwrecked and whipped with thirty-nine stripes from rods of elmwood on his way to beheadment. Surely it was not Abraham Lincoln, called by every vile name that human and satanic turpitude could invent and depleted by cartoonists with more meanness than any other man ever suffered, on the way to meet a bullet crashing through his temples. Goil Docs the Impossible. Rut I have come to the foot of the Alps, which we must climb before we can see the wide reach of my subject. See in all this theme how the impossibilities may he turned into possibilities, That ax head was sunken in the muddiest river that could he found. The alarmed student of Elisba may know where it went down and may dive fo: it and perhaps fetch it up, but can t':t sunken ax head he lifted without a hand thrust deep into the mud at the bottom of the river? No; that Is impossible. I admit, so far as human power is concerned, it is impossible, hut with God all things are possible. After the tree branch was thrown upon the surface of Jordan "the iron did swim." Some one ask? me. "Did you over sec iron swim?" Yes. yes; many a time. 1 saw a soul hardened until nothing could make it harder. All styles of sin had piled that soul. It was jK'trilied as to all tine feeling. It had been hardening l'or thirty years. It had gone into the deej>est depths. It had been given up as lost. The father had given it tip. The mother, the lust to do so. had given it up. Hut one day id answer to some prayer a branch of the disfollaged tree of Calvary was thrown Into the dark and sullen stream, and the sunken soul responded to its power and rose into the light, and. to the astonishment of the church and the world, "tin* Iron did swim." I have scon hundreds of cases like that. When the dying bandit on the cross beside Christ's cross was converted. When Jerry McAuley. a rntfian graduate of Sing Sing prison, was changed into a great evangelist, so useful in reclamation of wandering men and women that the merchant princes of New York established for him the Wafer Street and Cremorne missions and mourned at his burial, amid the lamentations of a city. When Newton, the blaspheming sailor, under the power of the truth was brought to Christ and became one of the mightiest preachers of the gospel that Dngland. ever saw. jWhen John Bunyan. whose curses shocked even the profane of the fish market, was so changed in heart am! life that he could write that wonderful dream. "The Pilgrim's Progress,*' in such a way that uncounted thousands have found through it the road from the "city of destruction" to the "celestial city." In all these cases 1 think iron was made to swim. I worship the God who can do the impossible. l.o?( nrd H?*s?ored. You have a wayward boy.
