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

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,

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?

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. !
Woman's Cycle.
Ancient Rome received from with- j
out well nigh seven times the volume of
water now poured into modern I
Rome. This city is the best supplied
with water in the world. Next to
Rome, Vienna is suid to be the most
favored capital, if net in the abun- i
dance, at least in the purity of its '
drinking water. i

At State Fairs have usually very little
meaning, as judges as a vulo teem more
disnosed to encourage exhibitor* than
to-be governed hy the real tuuiits of
their goods. A premium for the ''best

the worst saw mil), because it may best
suit the pocket of the "average
farmer."
A premium for the ' best and largest

be construed to mean h premium for
harvesting machinery alone, even
though all departments may l c represented

But for ouce the committee ou

hit when they tied the "Blue Ribbon"
on the little fifteen-horse-power

pulled a 52 inch saw through lightwood
logs almost large euough to hide
it, arousing the enthusiasm of all
beholders. Such work was only possU

Womanhood and childhood fleetI"
Is a type of thousands of young girls who A
are emerging from the chrysalis stage of their
existence, as they enter upon their "teens."
Nervous, excitable, irritable, stirred "by BE
strange, unknowable forces within them,
each a mystery unto herself, our girls need
the tenderest care, the most loving, patient
oversight and the aid of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Pro?/>rlnHnn. to g&felv carrv them through
this critical period, during which, la too
many lives, alns, are sown the seeds of dlstrcsslng
forms of diseases peculiar to the
fAoale sot. But this boon to womankind
mil prevent all such diseases, or cure them
if they havo already seized a victim. Woman ^BB
owes it to herself, to her family, and to her ^B|
social station, to be well and strong. Let ^B
her then not neglect the sufe means of cure.
