TALMAGE'S BERMAN. Dr. Talmoge in a Timely Diaoourae, Dismisses Spiritual AroherT. IQ this disoourso Dr. Ta?wago urgos all Christian workors to inoroasod fideli ty and shows how mu oh effort at doing good fails through laok of adroitness; text, Genesis x, 9, "Ho was a mighty hunter boforo tho Lord." In our day hunting is a sport, but in tho lands and tho timos infostod of wild boasts it was a matter of lifo or donth with tho pooplo. It was very difforont from going out on a sunshiny aftornoon with a patont brooohloador to shoot rodbirds on tho flats, whon Pollux and Aohillos and Diomodos wont out to ?'car tho land of lions aud panthers and boars. Xonophon grow eloquent in regard to tho art of hunt ing. In tho far cast people, olopbant mounted, ohasod tho tigor. Franois I was called tho fathor of bunting. And Moses, in my toxt, Bots forth Nimrod as a horo, whon it pro3onts him with broad shoulders and shaggy apparel and sun browned faoo and arm bunobod with muncie-, "a mighty huntor boforo tho Lord." I think ho usod tho bow and tho arrows with groat BUOOOBS practic ing a J chery. I have thought if it is suoh a grand thing and suoh a bravo thing to oloar wild boasts out of a oountry if it is not a bettor and bravor thing to hunt down and destroy thoeo groat ovil? of sooicty that aro stalking tho land with floreo oyo and bloody paw and sharp tusk and quick spring. I have wondorod if thore is not suoh a thing as gospol arch ery, by which tho HO who havo boon fly ing from tho truth may bo captured for God aud he a von. Tho Lord Josus in his sermon usod tho art of angling for an illustration whon ho said, "I will mako you Abhors of mon." And BO I think 1 havo authority for lining bunt ing as an illustration of gospol truth, and I pray God that thero ni?y bo many a man enlisted in tho work who shall bogia to study gospel archery of whom it may after awhile bo said, "Ho was a mighty huntor boforo tho Lord." How much awkward Christian woik thero is dono in tho world 1 How many good pooplo thor i aro who drive souls away from Christ instoad of bringing them to him! All tboir fingers arc V thumbs-religious blundorcrs who up " rot moro than they right, 'l'hoir gun has a crooked barrol and kicks ty lt ^?^008 off. Thoy aro liko a olumt?' ?om re?ojwho goos along with skillful hun torsV ATtK? vxjrji. raomnnt ho ought to .bo mont quiet ho is oHokling an aldor or falling ovor a lag and frightoning away tho gamo. How few Christian people havo ovor learned how tho Lord . Jesus Christ at|tbo woll wont from talk ing about va cup of wator to tho' most practical roligioUs truths, whioh won ? tho woman's soul for God I Josusr in tho wildernoss was broaking broad to tho pooplo. 1 think it was very good bread. It was vory light bread, and tho yoast had dono its work thorough ly. Christ, af tor ho had broken tho broad, said to tho pooplo, "Bowaro of tho yoast or of tho lo avon of tho Phari sees." So natural a transition it was and how oasily thoy all undorstood him! But how fow Christian pooplo thoro aro who understand how to fasten tho truths of God and roligion to tho souls of moni Tho arohors of olden timo studiod thoiv art. Thoy wero very prooiso in tho mattor. Tho old books gavo spcoial directions as to hov/ an archer should go and as to what an arohor should do. Ho must stand orcot and firm, his loft foot a littlo in advance of tho right foot. With' his loft hand ho must tako hold of tho bow in tho middle, and then with tho fhioo fingers and tho thumb of his right hand ho should lay hold tho arroW*. and affix it to tho string-so ?reoiso was tho direotion given. But ow olumsy wo. aro about religious work I How littlo skill and oaro wo ex oroisol How often our arrows miss tho mark I I am glad that thero aro institu tions established in many oitios of our land whero mon may loam tho art of doing good-studying spiritual arohory and buoomo known as "mighty hunte ni boforo tho Lt rd I" . In the firs* placo, if you want to bo offeotual in doing good you must bo v"6?y euro of your woapon. Thoro was something vory fascinating about tho arohory of oldon timos. Perhaps you ?*o not know what thoy oould do with tho bow and arrow. Why, tho ohiof battios fought by tho English Planta gonots woro with tho longbow. Thoy would tako tho arrow of polishod wood and foathor it with tho plumo of a bird, and thon it would fly from tho bow string of plaited silk. Tho bloody fiolds of Agincourt and Solway Moss and Neville's Cross heard tho loud thrum of tho arohor's bowstring. Now, my Christian frionds, wo havo a mightier woapon than that. It is tho arrow of tho gospol; it ls a sharp arrow; it is a straight arrow; it is foathored Irom tb o wing of tho dovo of God's spirit; it fl ios from a bow mado out of tho wood of tho oross. As far as I oan oBtimato or oal oulato. it has brought down 400,000,000 of souls. Paul know how lo bring tho ?otoh of that arrow on to tho bowstring, and its whir was hoard through tho Corinthian thoatora and through tho courtroom until tho knoos of Felix knookod togothor, It was that arrow that struck in Luther's heart whon ho oriod out: "On, my oinat Oh. my sins!" If it fi tri ko a man in tho hoad, it kills his skoptioism; if it striko him in tho hool, it will turn his stop; if it striko him in tho boart, ho throws up his hands, as did ono of old whon woundod in tho battle, orying? "0 Galiloan, thou limit conqueredT In tho armory pf, tho Earl of Pom broko thoro aro bid* corsolots whioh show that tho. arrow of .tho English usod to go through tho breastplate, through the body of tho warrior and out through tho backplate What a symbol of that gospol whioh is sharpor than u two od ?ed sword, pioroing to tho dividing.asuqdor of soul and body and of tho joints and marrow!

Again, if you want to bo skillful in spiritual arohory you must huut ia un fr?q "ion tod and seolidod plaoos. Why does tho bunter go throo or four days in tho Pennsylvania foroits or ovor Ra quotto lako into tho wilds of tin A.dlron dRoksV It is tho only way to do.

Yondor thoy aro down in that ool lar. Yondor thoy aro up in that garrot -far away from tho door of any ohuroh. Tho gospol arrow has not boon pointod at thora. Tho ti a it distributor and tho oity missionary somotimos just oatoh a glimpse of*thoro, as a huntor- through I tho troos gots a momontary sight of s partridgo or roobuok. Tho troublo ie wo aro willing for tho gamo to oomo t<: us. Wo aro not good huntors. Wo arc standing on oomo stroot or road oxpoot ing that tho timid antolopo will oomo up and oat out of our hand. Wo arc oxpooting that ibo prairie fowl will light on our ohuroh stooplo. It is nol thoir habit, If the "burch should wail 10,000,000 of years for tho world t( como ia and bo savod, it will wait it viiu. Tho world will not oomo. What tho ohuroh wants now is to Hf its foot from damask ottomans and pu thom in tho stirrups. Tho ohuroh want not so muoh ouahiona aa it wants ead dlcbags and arrows. Wo havo got t put asido tho gown and tho kid glove and put on tho hunting shirt, .We wan a pulpit on whcola. Wo havo boonbah ing so long in tho brooks that rut undo tho shadow of tho ohuroh that tho Vii o' know us, and thoy avoid tho hook an osoape as soon as wo oomo to tho bank whilo yondor is Upper Saranao and Bi Tuppcrs lako, whoro tho first swing o tho gospol not would break it for th multitude of tho fishes. Thoro U oui side work to bo dono. Wbat is that soo in tho baokwooda? It is a t?nt Tho huntors havo mado a clearing an oampod out. What do thoy oaro if tho havo wot foot or if they have no thin but a pino branoh fora pillow or for th northeast stoma? If a mooBo ip th darknoBS stops into tho lake to drinl thoy hoar it right away. . If a loon or in tho midnight, thoy hoar it. So i tho sorvioo of God we havo expose work. Wo have.got to oamp out an rough it. We aro putting all our oaro o tho oomparitivoly fow people who go < ohuroh. What aro wo doing for tho mi lions who do not oomo? Havo thoy n souls? Aro thoy sinlosa that thoy noe no pardon? Aro thoro no do nd in tho hon sos that they nood no comfort? Ai thoy out off from God to go into otornit no wing to boar them, no light to ohoi thom, no wolootno to groot thom? I hoi today surging up from that lowor dopt of our oitios a groan that oomos throug i our Christian asBomblagcs and throug our boautiful ohurohos, and it blots ot ?11 this scene from my oves today, as 1 tho mists of a groat Niagara, tor tl dash and tho plungo of thoso great to rents of lifo dropping down into tl fathomless and thundering abysm < Bufforing and woo. I somotimos thir that just as God blotted out?tho ohuroh of Thyntira and Corinth and Laodioi beeauso of tboir sloth and stolidity 1 will blot out Amorioan and Englii Christianity and raino on tho ruins stalwart, wido awako missionary ohurc that oan'take tho full moaning of th oommand: "God yo into all world ai proaoh tho ftoapol to ovory oroaturo. I that bcliovoth and ia baptized shall t savod, but ho that boiiovoth nob shs bo damned"-a oommand, you so punotuatod with a throno of hoavt and a dungeon of hell. 1 remark, further, if you want lo au cood in spiritual arohory you mu havo oourago. If tho huntor stan with tromblmg hand or shoulder tb flinohoa with fear, instead of Iiis ta KU tho oatamount tho oatamount tak him. What would booomo of tl Groonlandor if whon out hunting f tho boar ho should stand shivering wi torror on an ioaborg? What wou have booomo of Da Ohailluand Llvin stono in tho African thiokot with faint hoart and a wook knoo? Whon panter oomos within 20 paoos of y< and it has its oyo on you and it h? squatted for tho foarful spring, "Stoat thoro 1" Courage, O yo spiritual arohoi There aro groat monstors of iniqui prowling all around about tho coi munitv.

What is tho ohur of ' God that it should foar look in tho oyo any tranegroasio Thoro ia tho Kongal tfgor of drunks noss that prowls around, and instead attacking it how many of us hido und tho ohuroh pow or tho' commuai* tablo? Thoro is BO muoh invoBted in wo aro afraid to assault it. Millions dollars in harrold, in yatfl, in epigots, oork?orows, in gin palaoos with marl floors and Italian top tablas and ohas ioo ooolors, and in tho stryohnino ai the logwood and tho tartaric aoid ai tho nux vomioa that go to mako i our "pure" Amorioan drinka.

Why; o-ir American vat holds 10,200, 000 barrels of strong drinks; and wo koop 300,000 mon with nothing to do but to nco that it is filled." Oh, to attack thia groat raonator of lntomporaooe and tho kiudrod monatoM of fraud and uinloannosa requires you to rally all your Christian courage Through tho press, through tho pulpit, through tho platform you must asaault it. . Would to God that all our Ameri can Christian^ would band togothor, cot for oraok braiued fanaticism, but for hely Christian reform 1 I think it WAS in 1793 that thorn wont out from Luokuow, India, under tho sovoroign, tho greatest hunting party that was CY jr prejootod. Thoro woro 10,000 armed mon in that bunting party. There woro oamols and horsoo and olo phanta On somo prinoos rodo and ro3 al ladios .under oxqu's'.to housings, aod 500 coolies waitod upon tho train, and tho dosolato plaoos of India woro invaded by this oxoursiou, and tho rhinoceros and door and olopbant fell under tbo storko of tho sabor and bub lot. After awhilo tho party brought bick trophies worth 50,000 rupoeo, having left tho wildorno-is of India ghastly with tho slain bodios of wild boasts. Would lo God that instoad of horo and tb oro a etragglor going out to fight thoso groat monstors of iniquity in our country tho millions of memoer ship of our ohurohos would band to gothor and how in twain thoso groat orimcs that mako tho land frightful with thoir roar aud aro fattening upon tho bodios and souls of immortal mot, I Who is roady for tutah a party AS that? Who will bo a mighty hinter fer tho Lwd? J. roma k, again, if you want to bo suo oos&ful In spiritual arohory j nu ned not only to bring down gamo, but bring it ia. I think ono of tho most beautiful pioturos of Thorwaldscn is his "Au tumn." It roprosonts a sportsman com ing hom i and standing undor a grape vine. Ho baa a staff over hia shoulder, and on tho other end of that BI nh' aro hung a rabbit and a braco of birds, livery huntor bringo lunn tho gama. No ono would think of bringing down a roobuok or whipping up a sirosm for trout and lot tir g them lio in tho woods. At ovontido thc camp is adornod with tho troaauros of tho forost-^boak and fia and antler. If you go out to hunt for immortal soula, not only bring them down under tho atrow of tho gospel, but bring thom into tho ohuroh of God, tho grand homo aod onoampmont wo have pitohed this side tho skies.. Fetch thom in ; do not lot thom lio out in tho opon field. They nood our prayers aud t-ympathios and holp. Tnat is tho moaning of tho ohuroh of God-help. 0 vo huntors for tho lord, not only bring dovn, tho gamo, but bring it in. If Mithridates likod bunting so woll that for seven years ho novor wont in doo?, what enthusiasm ought wo to bnvo who aro hunting fer im nortal souls! If Domitian praotiood arohory until ho oould stand a boy down in tho Honan amphithoator with a hand out, tho fin gers spread apart, and thon tho king could shoot an arrow hotwoon tho fia gora without wounding them, to what drill and what prsotioo ought wo to aub joot ouradlvoa in ord or to become spirit ual arohers and "mighty hunters boforo tho lord!" But lob mo say you will nover work any bo tu r than you pray. The old arohors took tho bow, put ono end of it down boido tho foot, elovatod the other ood,abd it was tho rulo that tho bow should bo j ist tho ni/, o of t lie aron or. If it wcro j nit ais R?/.O, then bo would go into battle with ooofidonoo. Lot mo Bay tlint your powor to proj act good in tho world will correspond oxaotly to your own spiritual stature. In other words, tho first thing in preparation for Christian work is porsonal consoorn tion. Oh, for a olosor walk with God, A culm and heavonly fra i.<\ A light lo shin o upon tho road Thut loads mo to tho Lamb! I nm Miro that thoro aro some men who at oonio timo havo beon hit by tho gospel at row. You felt tho wound of that oonviotion, and you plunged into tho world deopor, just as tho stag, whon tho hounds aro after it, plungos into Sohroon lako expecting in that way to osoapo Jesus Christ is on your track (oday, O impenitent mani Not in wrath, butin moray. O yo ohasod and panting souls! Hero is tho stroain of God's moroy and salvation, whoro you may ocol your thirst I Stop that ohaso of sin today. By tho red fountain that Ioap.id from tho hoart of my Lord, I bid you stopl Thoro ia moroy for you-morey that pardons, moroy that boals, ovolaating moroy. Tho 12 gates of God's lovo stand wido opon, li a tor and bo forcvor safe. Thoro is in a foros t in G or many a plaoo thoy call tho "doar loap"-two crags, about 18 yards ap wt; hotwoon thom a fearful ohasm. This is called tho "doar loap" booauao on o a a huntor was on tho traok of a doar. It oamo to ono of thoso crags. Thero waa no osoapo for it from tho pursuit of tho hunter, and in utter despair it gathorod itsolf up and in tho death agony attompted to jump aorojs. Of oourso it foll aud was dashod on tho rooks far bonoath. Hore is a path to hoavon It is plain; it is safo. Josue marks it out for ovory man to walk in. But herc ia a man who says: "I won't walk in that path. I will tako my own way." Ho oomes on up until ho oonfronts tho ohasm that dividoa hia soul from hoavon. Now bis last hour has oomo, and ho rosolves that ho will loap that ohasm from tho heights of oarth to tho'heights of hoavon. Stand baok now and gi vo bim full swing, for no soul ovor did that suooossfully. Lot him try. Jump! Ho missos tho mark, and goos down, dopth bole/ depth, "destroyed without remedy." Mon, angola, devils I What shall wo call that plaoo of awful catastro pbo? Lot it bo known forever as tho soul's death loap. A Lame Talo.
