DR. TALMAGE DISCOURSES ON THE I BENEFICENCE OF PROVIDENCE; MtoTttirmi i UMfall of Mmw la tli* WltdinMM ud . a v fntomli His H??urtn. At Long Branch, N. J., on Sunday, the great Brooklyn preacher, dis coursed on the gospel provision for ordinary and extraordinary needs. His text was Joshua v, 18: "And the land.' Only those who have had something to do with the commissariat of an army known what a job it is to feed and clothe five or six hundred thousand men. Well, there is such a host aa that marching across the deaort. They are out off from all army supplies. There are no rail trains bringing down food or blankets. Shall ' ttoey all perish? No. The Lord comes from heaven to rescue, and he touches the shoes and the coats which in a year or two would have been worn to rags and tatters, and they become storm-proof and time-proof, so that, after forty years of wearing, the coats and shoes are as good as new. Besides that, eveiy morning there is a shower of bread, not sour and soggy, for the rising-of that bread is made aud celestial fingers have 1 luiAciuit, and rolled it into balls, light, J flaky, and sweet, as though they were 1 crumbs thrown out from a heavenly bonquet. Two batches of bread made every day in the upper mansion?one for those why sit at the table with the king, and the other for the marching Israelites in the wilderness. I do not very much pity the Israelites for the fact that they had only manna to eat. It was, I suppose, the best food ever provided. I know that the ravens brought food to hungry Elijah; but I should not so well have liked those black waiters. Rather would I have the face that came down every morning in the buckets of dew clean, sweet, God-provided edible. But now the Israelites have taken the lost bit of it in their fingers and put the last delicate morsel of it to thenlips, They look out, and there is no Itn iLi- i!? ? \ uitiuim. if iiy mm ceHHKHUU OI IieaVly supply? It teas because the Israelites nail arrived in Canaan, and they sraelled the breath of the harvest fields, and the crowded barns of the country were thrown open to them. All tho inhabitants had fled, and in the name of the Lord of Hosts the Israelites took posession of everything. Well, the threshing-floor is cleared, tho corn is scattered over it, the oxen are brought arouud in lazy and perpetual circuit until the corn is trampled loose; then it is winnowed with a fan, and it is ground and it is baked, and, lo! there is enough bread for all the worn-out host. "And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had oaten of the old cofn of the the munfinio# of sure which kind of gram my text refers to, but all the same iwthq mean- ! ing.

MMDMWMU V j locket, and held it up before the ] tudience, and cried out, "There is ; he cAuse of my woe! There are the ' ears and the life-blood of a drunk- 1 ird's wife!" And then, looking up to 1 leaven, she said, "How long, O Lord! \ low long?" and then, looking down i o the Audience, cried, "Do you won- < ler I feel strongly on this subject? j listers, will you help me?" and hun- j Ireds of voices responded, "Yes, yes, < we will help you." After fourteen thousand six hunlred consecutive days of falling nanna?Sundays excepted?the mania ceased. Some of them were glad if it You know they had complained to their leader, and wondered that lhat they had to eat manna instead if onions. Now the fare is changed. Those people in that army upder forty years of age never seen a corn field, and now, when they hear the leaves rustling and see the tassels waving and the billows of green lowing over the plain as a wind touched them, it must have been a new and lively sensation. 4<Corn!" iried the old man as he opened an ear. "Corn!" cried the children as they oounted the shinning grains. 'Corn!" shouted the vanguard of the tiost, as they burst open the graneries if the affrighted population, the graneries that had been left in the possession of tbo victorious Isrealites. Then the tire was kindled, and the ears of corn were thrust in it, uid, fresh and crisp and tender, vere ievoured of the hungry victors and bread was prepared, aud many things that can be made out of flour regaled the appetites that had been sharpened by the long march. "And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land." The infidel scientists of this day ire offering us a different kind of ioul food; but they are, of all men, the most miserable. I have known many of them, but I never knew one )f them Who came within a thousand miles of ^being happy. The great Itflin Stuart Mill provided for himself a new Jcind of porridge; but yet, when he comes to die, he acknowledges thai his philosophy never gave iihu alfy uoURtn-t in days of bereavement, and in a roundabout way he ulmits.tliat his life was a failure. So it is with all scientists. They are trying to live 011 telescopes and crucible^ fifad protoplasms, and they charge l^jJth cant, not realizing that there a. no fucn intolerable cant in all the cvorhl as this perpetual talk we ore Hearing about "positive philosophy1' ind the "absolute," nud the "great Lo.be." and "the everlasting no," and higher unity," and "the latent ^tentiolities," and "the cathedral of immensities." I have been translating what these men have been jfriting, and I have been translating what these men have been doing, ind I will tell you wlint it all means ?it means that they want to kill God! And my only wonder is that God lias not killed them. I have, in other inys, tasted of their confections, and [ come back to-day and tell vou there is no nutriment of life or health in anything but the bread made out of the old corn of the gospel. What do I mean by thatf I mean that Christ is the bread of life, and taking him you live and live forever. But, you say, corn is of but little practical use unloss it is threshed and ground and baked. I answer, this gospel com has gone through that process. When on Calvary all the hoofs of human scorn came down on Llie heart of Christ, and all the flails of satanic fury beat Him long and m A ?? rast, was not tne corn threshed? When the mills of God's indignation against sin caught Christ between the upper and neither rollers, was not the corn ground? When Jesus descended into hell, and the flames of thejout world wrapped Him all al>out,Twas not the corn baked? Oh yes! Christ is ready. His pardon all ready; everything ready in Christ. Are you ready for Him ? You say, "That is such a simple gospel 1" I know it is. You say you thought religion was a strange mixture of elaborate compounds. So ; it is so plain hat any abecedarian may understand it. In its simplicity is its power. If you could, this morning, realize that Christ died to save from sin and hell, not only pour minister and your neighbor and ri>ur father and your child, but you, | would make this hour like the lUfJtanmt day for agitations, and, UMh| ubleto keep your seat, you IgpmXdjjtap up, crying, "For me ! for grant that you, my brother, this gospel with your own iJHfc' afcd heirr it with your own ears, <Mh your own heart that UbW ttJkt SOul. but that Hhrial extricatiou. Can you I iot take that truth and digest it, and oitkio it a partof your immortal lifet ft is only bread. You fyave noticed that invalids canlot take all kinds of food. The food hat will do for one will not do for mother. There are kinds of food ivnich will produce in cases of invaidiiun, very speedy death. But you mvo noticed that all persons, however weak they may be, can take u-ead. Oh, soul, sick with sin, invald in your transgressions, I think bis gospel will |agree with you! I .hink if you cannot take anything dse, you can take this. Lost?found Sunken?raised! Condemned?parlouod! Cast out?invited in!

Let us oaat it out bf our 1 tiywnology, and let "There is a Foun- 3 bain" and "Rock of Ages" go into * forgetfulness. Let us tear down the \ jommunion table where we celebrate, " His love.

I notic*, in regard to this article of food, you take it three times a day It is on your table morning, noon and night 1 and if it is forgotten, you say, "Where is the bread Y Just so; certainly you need Jesus three times a day.

Before noon there may be perils that will destroy body, mind and soul forever. You cannot afford to do without Him. You will, during the day, l>e amidst sharp hoofs and swift wheols and dangerous scaffoldings threatening the body, and traps for the soul that have taken some who are more wily than you. When they launch a ship they break against it a bottle of wine. Thot is a sort of superstition among sailors. But oh, on tue launching of every day, that we might; strike against it at least one earnest prayer for divine protection! That would not be superstion; that would be Christian. Then at the apex of the day, at the tiptop of thejhours, equidistant from morning and night, look three ways. Look backwaid to the forenoon; look ahead to the afternoon; look up to that Savior who presides over all. You want bread at noon. You may And no place in which to kneel amidst the cotton bales and the tierces of rice; but if Jonah could find room to pray in the whale's belly, most certainly vqjtj will ne\^r crowded plao*anat yoil "ftot pr^H Bread at noon! When the evoifiiljP hour comes, and your head is buzzing with the day's engagements, and your whole nature is sore from the abrasion of rough life, and you see a great many duties you have neglected, then commune with Christ, asking His pardon, thanking Hun for His love. That would be a queer evening repast at which there was no bread. This is the nutriment and life of the plain gospel that I recommend1 you. I do not know how some of ' our ministers make it so intricate and elaborate and mystifying a thing. It seems as if they had a sort of mongrelism in religion?part humanitarianisin, part spiritualism, part nothingnriaMism; and sometimes you think they arc building their temple out of the "Rock of Ages,'' but you find there is no rock in it at all. It is stucco. The gospel is plain. It is bread. There are no fogs hovering over the marsh of human speculation. If you cannot tell when you hear a man preach, whether or not ho believes in the plenary inspiration of the scriptures, it is because he does not believe in it. If, when you hear a man preach, you can not tell whether or not he belioves that sin is inborn, it is because he does not think it con genital. If, when you hear a man talk in pulpit or prayer-meeting, you cannot make up your mind whether or not he believes in regeneration, it is because he does not believe in it. If, when you hear a man speak on religious themes, you cannot make up your mind whether or not he thinks the righteous and the wicked will come out at the same place, then it is because he really believes their destinies are conterminous. Do not talk to me about a man being doubtful about the doctrines of TT? * - - ' giww. axv; :o uui UUUU11U1 U) 1116 til all. Bread is bread, and I know it the moment I see it.

I did not hunt up the Agriculturalist to get a picture of com. 1 wan born in Bight of a corn-held, and 1 know all about it. When these Israelites came to Cauaau and looked off upon the helds, the cry^ras "Corn! corn!" And if a man has once tasted of this heavenly bread, he knows it right away. He can tell this com of the gospel Canaan from "the chaff which the wind driveth away." I bless God so many have found this gospel com. It is the bread of which if a man eat he shall never hunger. I set the gladness of your soul to the tunes of "Ariel" and "Antioch."
