TALM.UiE ON Tilli WING. THE PASTOR OF BROOKLYN TABERNACLE IN ITALY. Sermon t'reached Sunday, Nov. 17, 1SS9, at Itiiiidlsl?The Subject "A Mediterranean Journey"?Full Report of the I)hcourse n( the Italian Port. Brixdisi. Nov. 17.?The Kov. T. De Witt Talmnge, D. D., preached ia this Italian port today. ? His subject was "A Mediterranean Voyasre," and he took tor ins text acis xxvn, 44: aiiu so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land." Dr. Talmagc said: Having visited your historical city, which we desired to see because it was the terminus of the most famous road of the ages, the Roman A apian Way, ; a-nd for its mighty fortress overshadow- ] ing a city which even Hannibal's hosts ! could not thunder dowu, we must tomorrow morning leave your harbor, | and after touching at Athens and Cor- j inth, voyage about the Mediterranean ! to Alexandria, Egypt. I have been { reading this morning in my New Tea- ' tament of a Mediterranean voyage in an Alexandrian ship. It was this?very I month of November. Tho vessel was , S' ing in a port not very far from hero. n board that vessel were two distin- ' guished passengers one, Josephus, the historian, as we have strong reasons to ! believe; the other, a convict, one Paul \ by name, who was going to prison for upsetting things, or, as they termed it, I "turning the world upside down." ! This convict had gained the j confidence of tho captain. Indeed, | ? -? 1 1 1 _i t I 1 lliinK mat raui Knew uimusi i as much about the sea as did the cap- j tain. He had been shipwrecked three ! times already; he had dwelt much of I his life amidst capstans, and yardarms, and cables, and storms; and he knew what he was talking about. Seeing the equinoctial storm was coming, ana perhaps noticing something unseaworthy in tlie vessel, he advised the captain to stay in the harbor. But 1 hear the captain and the first mate talking together. They say: "We cannot afford to take the advice of this landsman, and he a minister. He may be able to preach very well, but I don't believe he knows a marlinospike from a luff tackle. All aboard! Cast offl Shift the helm for headway I Who fears the Mediterranean?" They had gone only a little way out when a whirlwind, called Eur'oclydon, made the torn sail its turban, shook the mast as you would brandish a spear, and tossed the hulk into the heavens. Overboard with the cargo! It is all washed with salt water, and worthless now; and there are no marine insurance companies. All hands ahoy, and out with the anchors! FRIGHT AT THE STORM. Great consternation comes on crew and passengc-rs. The sea monsters snort in the foam, qnd the billows clap their hanfas in glee of destruction. In a lull of tho storm I hear a chain clank. It is tho chain of tho great apostle as 'he walks the deck, or holds fast to tho rigging amidst the lurching of tho ship?tl7e spray dripping from his long beard as he cries out to the crew: "Now 1 exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be 110 loss of any man's Ijfe among you, but of the ship. For there stood by mo this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I servo, saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Ciesar: aud, lo, God hath given tlice all them that sail with thee. Fourteen days have passed, and there is no abatement of the storm. It is midnight. Standing 011 the lookout, the man peers into the darkness, and, by a flash*of lightning, sees the long white line of tne breakers, and knows they must be coming near to some country, and fears that in a few moments tho vessel will be shivered 011 tho rocks. Thie ship flies like chaff in the tornado. They drop the sounding line, and by the light of the lantern they see it is twenty fathoms. Speeding along a little farther, they drop the lino again, and by the light of tho lantern they see it is fifteen fathoms. Two hundred and seventy-six souls within a few feet - e r -1 1 rri.~ oi awi ui smpwrectu j.ne uuuuigers of the vessel, pretending they want to look over tbc side of tho ship and undergird it, get into the small boat, expecting in it to escape; but Paul sees through tho sham, and he tells them that if they go off in the boat it \yill be/the death of them. Tho vessel strikes! The planks spring! The timbers crack 1 The vessel parts in the thundering surge! Oh, what wild struggling for life! Here fliey leap from plank to plank. Here'they go under as if they would never rise, but, catching hold of a timber, come floating and panting on it to the beach. Here, strong swimmers spread their arms through tho waves until their chins plow the sand, and they rise up and wring out their wet locks on the beach. When the roll of the ship is . called, two hundred and seventy-six people answer to their names. "And so," says mv text, "it came to pass that they escaped all safe to land." LESSONS TO BE DRAWN. I learu from this subject: First, that those who get us iuto troublo will not stay to help us out. These sliipmen got Paul out of Fair Havens into the storm; but'as soon as the tempest dropped upon them, they wanted to go off in the small boat, caring nothing for^ what became of Pau.l and tho passengers. Ah me I human nature?is the same in all ages. They who get us into trouble never stop* to help us out. They who tempt that young man into a lifo^of dissipation will be the first to laugh at nis imbecility, and to drop him out of decent society. Grumblers always make fun /-<f ?hr> Ipiccpq r?f o-nmmori Ttipv who tempt you ipto the contest with fists, saying1, 'Twill back you," will be the firs| to run. Look-over all the predicaments of your life, and count the names of thoso who have got you into those predicaments, and tell me the name of one who ever helped you out. They were glad enough to get you out from Fair Havens, but when, with damaged ringing;1 you tried to get into harbor, did they hold for you a plank or throw you a rope? Not one, Satan has got thousands of men into trouble, but he never got one out. He led them into theft, but he would not hide the goods or bail out tho defendant. The spider shows the fly the way over the gossamer bridge into the cobweb; but it never shows tho fly the way out of the cobweb over the gossamer bridge. I think that there were plenty of fast young men to help the prodigal spend his maney; but when he had wasted his substance in riotous living, they let him go to the swine pastures, whiJp they betook themselves to some ott^T new comer. They who took I'aul out of Kair I la vens will ! '' of no help to iii:n when ln? gets iiiio the breakers of Melita I remark again, as a lesson learned from the text, that it is dangerous to refuse the counsel of competent advi sers. I'aul told them not to go out I with that ship. They thought he j knew nothing about it. They said "He is only a minisleiv!" They wont, and the ship was destroyed. There are a great many people who now say of ministers: "They know nothing about the world. They cannot talk to Ah. my friends, it is not necessary to have the Asiatic cholera before you can give it medical treatment in others H is not necessary to havn your o'\ ;;nn broken before v/ know how to splinter a fracture. Anti we who stand in the pulpit, and in the ollicc oi autinsuan injiciuT, unowunu there are certain styles of belief anil certain kinds of behavior that will lead to destruction as certainly as Paul knew that if that ship went out of Fair Havens it would go to destruction. "Rejoice, 0 young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth: but know thou that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment." We may not know much, but wo know that Young people refuso tho advice of parents. They say: "Fathei'is oversuspicious, and mother is getting old." But these parents have oeen on the sea of life. They know where the storms sleep, and during their voyage have seen a thousand battered hulks marking tho place where beauty burned, and intellect foundered, and morality sank. They are old sailors, having answered many a signal of distress, and endured great stress of weather, and gone scudding under bare poles; and the old folks know what they are talking about. Look at that man?in his cheek the glow of infernal fires. Ilis eye flashes not as once witli thought, but wifh low passion. His brain is a sewer through which impurity floats, and his heart the trough in which lust wallows and drinks. Men shudder as tho leper passes, and parents cry, "Wolf I wolf!" Yet he onco said the Lord's Prayer at his mother's knee, and against that iniquitous brow once pressed a pure mother's lip. But he refused her counsel. He went where eumclvdons have their lair. He foundered on the sea, while all hell echoed at he roar of the wreck: Lost Pacifies! Lost Pacifies! CHRISTIANS ALWAYS SAFE. Another lesson from tho subject is that Christians are always safe. There did not seem to be much chance for Paul getting out of that shipwreck, did there? They had not, in those days, rockets with which to throw ropes over foundering vessels. Their lifeboats were of but little worth. And yet, notwithstanding^! the danger, my text says that Mul escaped safe to land. And so it will always be with God's children. They may be plunged into darkness and trouble, but by the throne of tho eternal God, Insert it, "they shall all escape safe ^fcetimes there comes a storm of ?amercial disaster.

And yet, though they may have it so very hard in commercial circles, the good, trusting in God, all come safe to land.

The Scandinavian warriors used to drink wine out of the skulls of the enemies they had slain. Even so God will help us, out of the conquered ills and disasters of life, to drink sweetness and strength for our souls^ You have, my friends, p? illustrations, in your own life, of how God delivers his people. I havo had illustrations in my own life of the same truth. I was once in what on your Mediterranean you call a Euroclydon, but what on the Atlantic we call a cyclone, but the same storm. The steamer Greece of the National line, swung out into the river Mersey at Liverpool, bound for New York. Wo had on board seven hundred, crew and passengers. We came together strangers?Italians, Irishmen, Englishmen, Swedes, Norwegians, Americans. Two flags floated from tho masts?British and American ensigns. Wo had a new vessel, or one so thoroughly remodeled that the voyage had around it all tho uncertainties of a trial trip. The great steamer felt its way cautiously out into the sea. Tho pilot was discharged; and, committing ou reelves to the care of him who holdeth the winds in his fist, we were fairly started on our voyage of three thousand miles. iUwas rough nearly all the way?the sea with j: h xi. strong ouueiing uispuung our paui. But one night, at eleven o clock, after the lights hud been put out, a cyclone ?a wind just made to tear ships to pieces?caught us in its clutches. It came down so suddenly that we had not time to take in the sails or to fasten the hatches. You may know that the bottom of tho Atlantic is strewn with the ghastly work cf cyclones. Oh! they arc cruel winds. They have hot breath, as though thev came up from infernal furnaces, iheir merriment is tlie cry of affrighted passengers. Their play is the foundering of steamers. And, when a ship goes down, they laugh until bJth continents hear them. They go in circles, or, as I describe them with my hand?rolling on! rolling on! with finger of terror writing on the white sheet of the wave this sentence of doom: "Let all that come within this circle perish! Biigantines, go down! Clippers, go down! Steamships, go down!' And me vessel,Hearing me lerrioie voice, crouches in the surf, and as the waters gurgle through the hatches and port holes it lowers away, thousands of feet down, farther ana farther, until at last it strikes the bottom; and all is peace, for they have landed. Helmsman, dead at the wheel! Engineer, dead amidst the extinguished furnaces! Captain, dead in the gangway! Passengers, dead in the cabin! Juried in the great cemetery of dead steamers, beside the Citv of Boston, the Lexington, the President, the Cambria?waiting for the archangel's trumpet to split up the decks, and wrench open the cabin doors, and unfasten the hatches. A NIGHT TO TURN ONE'S HAIR WHITE. I thought that I had seen storms on the sea before: but all of them toerether inigm have come under one wing 01 lliut cyclone. Wo were only eight or j nine hundred Thiles from home, and in j liigji expectation of soon seeing our friends, for there was 110 one on board ' so poor as not to have a friend. But it seemed as if we were to be disappointed. The most of us expected then and there to die. There were none who made light of the peril, save two. One was an Englishman, and ho was drunk, and the other was an American, and ho was a'fool I Ohl what a time it was! Anight to make one's hair turn white. We came out of the berths, and stood in the gangway, and looked into the steerage, and sut in the cabin. While seated there, wo heard overhead something like minute guns. It was the bursting of the sails. We held on with both hands to keep our ! places. Those who attempted to cross i the floor came back bruised and j gashed. Cups and glasses were.dashed ' to fragments; pieces of the tablo getting I00..0, swung across the saloon. It seemed as if the hurricane took that great ship of thousands of tons and stood it on end, and said: "Shall I sink it, or let it go this once?" And then it came down with such forcp that the billows tramnlcd over it, each mounted of a fury. Wo felt that everything .1 .I..* *1 n; T? HUpeiJUeU Oil LUU ovivH. JUI tliat stopped for an instant wo knew the vessel would fall off into tbo trough of the sea and sink, and so we prayed that the screw. which three times since leaving Liverpool ttaci already stopped, might not stop now. Oh I how anxiously we listened for the regular thump of the machinery, upon winch our livc3 seemed to depend. After a while some one said : "The screw is stopped 1" No; its sound had only been overpowered by the uproar of the tempest, and we breathed easier again when wo heard the regular pulsations of the overtasked machinery going thump, thump, thump. At 3 o'clock in tho morning the water covered the ship from prow to stern, and tho skylights gave way! Tho delugo rushed in, and we felt that one or two more waves like that must swamp us forever. As the water rolled back and forward in the cabins, and dashed against the^wall, it sprang hallf way up to the ceiling. Rushing'thrcugk the skylights as it came in with such terrific roar, there went up from the cabin a shriek of horror whidh I pray God I may never hear again. I liavo dreamed the whole scene over again, but God has mercifully kept mo from hearing that uiiu cry. xmu it mcuxcu iu uu tuuipressed tho agony of expected shipwreck. It seemed to say: "I shall never get homo again I Mv children shall bo orphaned, and my Ivife shall be widowed 1 I am launching ynow into eternity I In two minutes I shall meet my Godl" There were about five hundred and fifty passengers in the steerage, and as the water rushed ;u and touched the furnaces, and began violently Ito hiss, the poor creatures in the s'teerage imagined that tho boilers were giving way. Those passengers writhed in the water and in the mud, some praying, some crying, all terrified. They made a rush for the deck. An officer stood on deck and beat them back with blow after blow. It was necessary. They would not have stood an instant on the deck. Oh 1 how they begged to get out of the hold of the shipl One woman, with a child in her arms, rushed up and caught hold of one of the officers and cried: "Do let mo outl I will help you! Do let me outl I cannot die here!" ; Some got down and prayed to the Virgin Mary, saying: "0 blessed mother! keep us! Have mercy on us I" Some stood with white lips and fixed gaze, silent in their terror. Some wrung their hands and cried out: "0 God! what shall I do? What shall I do?" Tho time came when the crew could no longer stuv on the deck, and the cry of tho officers was: 4 Below! all hands below!" Our brave and sympathetic Capt. Andrews? whose praise I shall not cease to speak ?V M _ r V* 1- ~ J U ?x 1?. wiiiio x live?xiuu ueexi swept uy mo hurricano from his bridge, and bad escaped very narrowly with, his life. The cyclone seemed to stand on the deck, waving its wing, -crying: "This ship is mine 1 I have captured it! Ha I ha I I will command it I If God will permit, I will sink it here and now 1 fey a thousand shipwrecks, I swear the doom of this vesserl" There was a lull in the storm; but only that it might gain additional fury. Crash'! went the lifeboat on one side. Crash 1 went the lifeboat on the other sido. The great booms got loose, and, as with the heft or a. thunderbolt, pounded the deck and beat the mast?the jib boom, studding sail boop, and square sail boom, with their strong arms, beating timo to the awful march ancl mrisic of the hurricane. Meanwhile the ocean became phosphorescent. The whole scene looked like fire. The water dripping from the rigging, there were ropes of fire; and there were masts of fire; and there was a deck of fire. A ship of fire, sailing on a sea of fire, through a niglit of fire. May I never sec anything like it again! Everybody prayed. A lad of 12 years of age.got down and prayed for his mother. "If Ishouldgiveup," hesaid, "I do not know what would become of mother." There were men who, I think, had not prayed for thirty years, who then got down on their knees. When a man who has neglcoted God all his life feels that he has come to his last time, it makes a very busy night. All of our sins and shortcomings passed through our minds. My own life seemed utterly unsatisfactory. I could only say, "Here, Lord, take me as I am. I cannot mend matters now. Lord Jesus, thou didst die for the chief of sinners. That's me 1 It seems, Lord, as if my work is done, and poorly done, anil upon thy infinite mercy I cast myself, and in this hour of shipwreck and darkness commit myself and her whom I hold by tho hand to thee, 0 Lord Jesus! praying that it may bo a short struggle in the water, and that at tho same in stant wo may both arrive in glory 1" Oh 11 tpll you a man prays straight to the mark when lie has a cyclone above him, an ocean beneath him, and eternity so close to him that he can feel its breath on his cheek. The night was long. At last we saw the dawn looking through the port holes. As in the oluen time,, in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came walking on the sea, from wave cliff to wavo cliff; and when he putshis foot upon a billow, though it may be tossed up with might it goes-down, lie cried to the winds, Hush 1 They knew his voice. The'waves knew his foot. They died away. And in the shining track of his feet I read these letters on scrolls of foam and fire, "The earth shall bo filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover tho sea. _ Tlio. ocean calmed. The , patn or trie steamer oecanie more and moro miM; until, on the last morning1 out, tlic sun threw rou nil about us a glory such as [never witnessed before. God made a pavement of mosaic, reaching from norizon to horizon, for all tho splendors of earth and heaven to walk unon?a pavement bright enough for the foot of a seraph?bright enough for the wheels of the archangel's chariot. As a parent embraces a child, and kisses away its grief, so over that sea, that had been writhing in agony in tho tempest, the morning threw its arms of beauty and of benediction, and the lips of earth and heaven met. As I came on deck?it was very early, and we were nearing the shore ?I saw a few sails against the sky. They seemed liko the spirits of the night walking the billows. I leaned over the tafrrail of the vessel, apd said, "Thy way, 0 God, is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters." It grew lighter. xne ciouas were hung in purplo clusters along the sky; and, as if those purple clusters were pressed into red wiuo and poured out upon the sea, every wave turned into crimson. Yonder, firo cleft stood opposite to fire cloft; and here, a clpua, rent and tinged with light, seemedlike a palace, with flames bursting from the windows. The whole scene lighted up until it seemed as if the angels of God were ascending and descending upon stairs of fire, and the wavecrests, changed into jasper, arid crystal, and amethyst, as they were flung toward the beach, made mo think of the crowns of heavep cast before the throne of the great Jehovah. I leaned over the taffrail again, and said, with more emotion than before: "Thy way, 0 God, is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters I" So, I thought, will bo the going off of the storm and night of the Christian's life. ? The darkness will fold its tents and away! The golden feet of thQ rising morn will come skipping upon the mountains, and all the wrathful billows of the world's woe break into tho splendor of eternal jgy. And so wo come into the harbor. The cvc-lone behind us. Our friends before us. Uou, who is always good, all around us.' And if the roll of the crew and the passengers had been called, seven hundred souls would have answered to their names. "And so it came to pass that we all escaped safe to land. And may God grant that, when all our Sabbaths on earth $re ended, wo may find that, through the rich mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, we all have weathered the gale! Into the harbor of heaven now we glide, Home at hist! Softly wo drift on the bright nllver tide, Home at lastj Glory to GodJ All our dangers are o'er; We stand secure on the gloriflcdvshora Gloiy to God! wo will shout evermore. Home at last! Home at lost! A Dig British War Ship, The new British war ship, Royal Sovereign, work upon which has begun at rortsmouth dockyard, will, it is said, bo the largest war ship in the world. The vessel is to be c< m leted for sea, with all guns and .ires on board, by 1893. The Roy i; ove reign is one of the four armored oa.Lie ships of 14,000 tons burden which are to be built under the special programme. She is to carry four sixty-seven ton guns of thirteen and one-half inch caliber, arranged in two barbettes and supported by a powerful battery, of six ineh and quick firing guns. The Royal Sovereign will bo 380 feet ip length, 75 feet in beam, and 27$ feet in draught, with a displacement of 14.150 tons. She will far exceed in weight any ship hitherto built for the British navy. At the water line she will be protected by an armor belt eight ana one-half /eet broad, extending over two-thirds of her length, and having a maximum thickness of eighteen inches. The armor on the barbettes will bo seventeen inches thick, while the protection of the guns and their crews m the auxiliary armament as well as "the ammunition supply has been devized to meet the development ' in high explosives ahd quick firing guns. The snip's engines will have a maximum pq^ver of 13,000 horses under forced draught and 9,000 under natural draught. The speed with closed stokpbQles is estimated at seventeen knots an hour; with open stokeholes at sixteen knots an hour. The coal supply of the Royal Sovereign will be 1)00 tons, enabling hdr to cruise 5,000 miles at the rate of ter. knots an hour.?Detroit Free Press. The Highest Development. Make the marriage right and the offspring will tend to be right. Perhaps it may bo true that wo need a new ideal of the marriage relation. Tho old ono in which tho woman promises to obey the man is perishing visibly beforo our modern eyes. Often she ought not to do so, for the man may be a fool or a brute. And the theory adopted by many ill mated couples that marriage is a discipline is too cynical to be either true or attractive. The theory of easy divorce' and frequent change as a remedy for ordinary disagreements lias also serious disadvantages, and is no sound remedy. It is only a poor refuge from immediate suffering. But a new and perhaps useful attitude may be gained by looking upon matrimony, as it is, in truth, the only completo conditibn of humanity. In no other re.ation can man or woman reach their highest development. No character is full till it comprises its opposite. The very divergencies at wliicn each party frets are tho lacking necessities of its own nature. Each would be partial and narrow without the other, and the new motto \vu inuy pruuubu iur uiau iuiuuj 10 uu? i new word, development. Marriage is development. If not quite liapuv, it is still generously educational. If love dies'out from it, yet charity, wisdom, tact and liberality of mind may remain in it Blind love may indeed j remain and leave the happy lovers without its bestpffects, since even love may remain narrow and selfish. But the man who has learned to comprehend the feminine nature with its delicate, sprightly, graceful qualities j in his own, and the woman who has i adopted something of masculine inde-! fienuence, liberality and courage into j lcr constitution, will be far better! than the sole endowment nature would i have given cither to bo alone.?Oor. !
