THE MIGHTY HUNTER
ARCHERS OF OLDEN TIMES AND GOS
PEL ARROWS.
Rev. Dr. Tal:n;igy I’rraclics a Valqne and
Inspirlns DiMCourfio For Those Who Aro
Trying to Do Successful in Spiritual
Archery—A Plain Path.
Wasiiintitox, Juno 28.—All people
who aro trying to do good will find this
discourso of Dr. Talmage inspiring as
well as unique. Ilis text was Genesis
x, 9: ‘ ‘Ho was a mighty hunter before
the Lord. ’ ’
lirou^day, hunting is a sport; but in
the lands and the times infested with
wild boasts it was a matter of life or
death wit!) Ihe people. It was very dif
ferent from going out on a sunshiny aft
ernoon with a patent breechloader, to
shoot rcedbirds oh the flats, when Pol
lux and Achilles and Diomodos wont
out to clear the land of lions and tigers
and bears. My text sets forth Nimrod
as a hero when it presents him with
broad shoulders and shaggy apparel and
suubrowncd face, and arm bunched
with muscle— ; “a mighty hv.ntor before
the Lord.” I tlunk housed the how and
the arrows with great success practicing
archery.
1 have thought if it is such a grand
thing and such a bravo thing to clear
wild beasts out of a country, if it is hot
a bettor and braver thing to hunt down
end destroy those great evils of society
that are stalking tho land with. flCECC .
_ qro iwd Sharp tusk and
quick spring.’ I have wondered if there
is pot such a thing as gospel archery,
by which those who havo been flying
from tho truth may bo captured for God
pud heaven. Tho Lord Jesus iti his scr-
jnou used tho art of angling for ah lb
lustration when ho said, ‘‘J will wmko
you fishers of men. ” And PQ l think J
have authority for using hunting ps pn
illustration of gospel truth, and I pray
God that there may l>o many a man to
day who will begin to study gospel
archery, of w hom it may, after a while,
bo said, ‘‘Ho was a mighty hunter be
fore tho Lord. ”
Conversion.
How much awkward Christian work
there i; dono in tho world! How many
good people there aro wdio drive souls
pwny from Christ instead of bringing
them to him! All their fingers pro
thumbs—n ligious blunderers who up
set more than they right. Their gun
has a crooked barrel and kicks us it
gees off. They c.ro like a clumsy com
rade who gees along with skillful hunt
ers. At t he very moment when ho ought
to bo most quiet, ho is crackling an
alder, or falling over a log and fright-
cniug away tho game. How few Chris-
tin:i people have ever learned tfcp lesson
of which I road at tho beginning of this
service, how that tho Lord Jesus Christ
at tho well went from talking about a
cup of water to tho most practical re
ligions truths, wdiich won tho woman s
soul for G(xl. Jesus iu tho wilderness
was breaking bread to tho people. I
think it was good bread. Itw..s very
light bread and tho yeast had dono its
work thoroughly. Christ, after ho had
broken tho bread, said to tho people,
‘‘Beware of tho yeast, or of tho leaven
of tho Pharisees. ” So natural a transi
tion it was, and how easily they all un
derstood him! But how few’Christiaq
people there aro who understand how
tq fasten the truths cf God and religion
tp the eouls of men! Truman Osborne,
one of tho evangelists who went through
fliip country years ago, had a wonderful
prt in tho right direction. Ho came to
my father’s house one day, and while
We were all seated in tho room ho paid,
M Mr. Talmage, are all your children
Christians?” Father paid, ‘'Yes, all but
Do WitL ” Then Truman Osboruo looked
down into tho fireplace and began tQ
tell a story of a storm that camo on tho
mountains, and all tho sheep wore iu
tho fold, but there was ono lamb outside
that perished in tho ptorm. Had ho
looked mo in tho cyo I should havo been
angered when ho told tliat story. Dot
he looked into tho fireplace, and it was
■o pathetically and beautifully done
tlmt I never found any peace until I
was suro l was insido tho fold whero
the other sheep were.
Tho archers of olden times studied
their art. They wore very precise in tho
matter. Tho old books gave special di
rections us to how an archer should go
and as to what an archer should do. Ho
Tuw* stand erect and firm, his left foot
a little In advance of tho right foot.
With his left hand homusttako hold of
tho bow i^i tho middle, and then with
tho three fiugcrR and tho thumb of his
right Baud ho should lay hold of tho ar-
rq;;/and affix it to tho string—so precise
y' was tho direction given. But how
j clumsy wo aro about religious work!
^ How littlo skill and earo wo exercise 1
How often our arrows miss tho mark!
Oli, that thcro were more institutions
established in all tho towns and cities
of our land where men might learn tho
art of doing good—studying spiritual
archery, and known as “mighty hunters
before tho Lord!”
A Choice of Weapons.
In the first place, if you want to be
effectual in doing good, you must be
very sure of ydur weapon. Thcro was
something very fascinating about the
archery of olden times. Perhaps you do
not know what they could do with the
Ikiw and arrow. Why, tho chief battles
fought by the English Plantagenets were
with tiio long bow. They would take
tho arrow of polished wood, and feather
it with tho plumo of a bird, and then it
would fly from tlio bow string of plaited
silk. Tho broad fields of Agincoart and
Bolway Moss and Nerillo’s Cross heard
tho loud thrum of tho archer’s bow
string. Now, my Christian friends, wo
havo u mightier weapon than that It
is tho arrow of tho gosixsl; it is a sharp
arrow; it is a straight arrow; it is feath
ered from the wing of thodovoof God’s
Spirit; it flies from a bow made out of
the wood of the crofcs. As far as I cap
estimate or calculate-it has brought
down 400,000,(100 souk- Paul know
how tq.bring tho notch of that arrow
to that fcow string, and its whir
heard through tho Corinthian theaters,
and through the courtroom, until tho
knees of Felix knocked together. It was
that arrow that stuck in Luther’s heart
when he cried out: “Oh, my sins! Oh,
my sins!” If it strike a man in tho
head, it kills his skepticism; if it strike
a man in the heel, it will turn his stop;
if it strike him iu tho heart, ho throws
up his hands, as did the Emperor Julian
of old when wounded in tho battle, cry
ing, “O Galilean, thou has conquered!”
In tho armory of the Earl of Pem
broke there are old corselets which show
that tho arrow of the English used to
go through the breastplate, through the
body of tho warrior and out through the
bnckplato. What a symbol of that gos
pel which is sharper than a two edged
sword, piercing to the dividing asunder
of body and soul, and of the joints and
marrow! Would to God wo had more
faith iu that gospel! Tho humblest man,
if ho had enough faith in it, could
bring 100 souls to Jesns—perhaps 500.
Just in proportion as this ago seems to
believe less and less in it, I believo
more and more in it. What aro men
about that they will not accept their
own deliverance? There is nothing pro
posed by men tliat can do anything like
this gospel. Tho religion of Ralph Wal
do Emerson was tho philosophy of ici
cles; tho religion of Theodore Parker
was a sirocco of the desert covering up
tho sonl with dry sand; the religion of
Renan was tho romance of believing
nothing; tho religion of the Huxleys and
tho Bpeneors merely a pedestal on which
human philosophy sits shivering in the
nigbw'dwJJic- scrJr looking
Stars, offering no help to the nations
(hat crouch and groan at the base, Tell
mo where there is ono man who has re
jected tliat gospel for another who is
thoroughly satisfied and helped and con
touted in his skepticism, and I will tako
tho car tomorrow and ride 500 miles to
seo him. Tho full power of tho gospel
has not yet boon touched. As a sports
man throws up his head and catches
tho ball flying through the air, just so
easily will this gospel after awhilo catch
this round world flying from its orbit
and bring it back to the heart of Christ.
Givo it full swing, and it will pardon
every sin, heal every wound, euro every
trouble, emancipate every slave and
ransom every nation.
Ye Christian men and women who go
out this nfternccn to do Christian work,
ps you go into tho Bunday schools, the
lay preaching stations and the peniten
tiaries n^d the asylums, I want you to
feel that you bear in your hand a weapon
compared with which tho lightning has
no speed, and avalanches havo no heft,
and the thunderbolts of heaven havo no
power; it is tho arrow of the omnipotent
gospel. Tako careful aim. Pull the ar
row clear back until tho head strikes
tho bow! Then let it fly 1 And may tho
slain of the Lord bo many!
Good Uu'iiting Ground.
Again, if you want to bo skillful in
spiritual archery, you must hunt in un
frequented and secluded places. Why
docs the hunter go three or four days in
tho Pennsylvania forests or over Pa
quette lake into tho wilds of tho Adiro.,-
dacks? It is tho only way to do. Tho
deer aro shy, and ono “bang” of the
gun clears tho forest. From tho Cali
fornia stage you see, as you go over the
plains, hero and there, a coyote trotting
along, almost within range of tho gun—
sometimes qnito within range cf it. No
ono cares for that; it is worthless. Tho
good game is Ridden and secluded, Ev-
pry hunter knows that. Bo, many of tho
souls that will bo of most worth for
Christ and of most value to tho church
arc secluded. They do not como in your
way- You will havo to go where they
ape. Yonder they aro down in that cel
lar; yonder they uro up in that garret.
Far away from tho door of any church,
tho gospel arrow has not been pointed
at them- Tho tract distributor and city
missionary sometimes catch a glimpse
of them, ns a hunter through the trees
get a momentary sight of a partridge or
a roebuck. The trouble is, wo are wait
ing for tho game to como to us. Wo aro
not good hunters. Wo are standing in
some street or highway expecting that
tho timid antolopo will como up and out
out of our hands. Wo aro expecting
that tho prairie fowl will light on our
clmrch steeple. It Is not their habit
If tho church should wait 10,000,000
of years for tho world to como in and
bo saved, it will wait in vain. The
world will not como. What tho church
wants now is to lift its feet from dam
ask ottomans and put them in tho stir
rups. Wo want a pulpit on wheels. The
church wants not so much cushions as
it wants saddlebags and arrows. Wo
have got to put aside tho gown and kid
gloves and put on tho hunting shirk
Wo have been fishing so long in tho
brooks that run under tho shadow of the
church that tho fish know us; that they
avoid tho hook and escape as soon as wo
como to the bank, whilo yonder is Up
per Saranac and Big Tapper’s lake,
where the first swing of tho gospel net
would break it for tho multitude of the
fishes. There is outside work to bo dona
What is that I seo in tho backwoods? It
is a tent. Tho hunters havo made a
clearing and camped out. What do they
caro if they havo wet feet, or if they
havo nothing but a pine brunch for a
pillow or for tho northeast storm? If
a moose iu the darkness steps into tho
lake to drink, they hear it right away.
If a loon cry in tho moonlight, they
hear it So in tho service of God we
have exposed work. Wq havo got to
camp out and rough it. Wo are putting
all our caro on the people who como to
our churches. What aro wo doing for
the thousands upon thousands that do
not oomc? Havo they no souls? Are they
sinless that they need no pardon? Are
there no dead iu their houses that they
need no comfort? Aro they cut off from
God to go into eternity—no wing to
bear them, no light to cheer them, no
welcome to greet them? I hoar today
soaging up from tho lower depths a
groan that comes through our Christian
assemblages and through our beautiful
churches, and it blots out all this scene
from my eyes ttlftay, as by the mists of
a great Niagara, for t
lunge of

dropping down into tho fathomless and
thundering abyss of suffering and woo.
I sometimes think that just as God blot
ted out tho churches of Thyatira and
Coriuth and Laodieea, because of thcii
sloth and stolidity, ho will blot out
American and English Christianity and
raise on tho ruins a stalwart, wide
awake, missionary church that can take
tho full meaning of that command, “Gc
into all the world and preach tho gospel
to every creature. ”
Spiritual Archers.
I remark, further, if you want to suc
ceed in spiritual archery you must have
courage. If tho hunter stand with trem
bling hand or shoulder that flinchei
with fear, instead of his taking the cat
amount, tho catamount takes him.
What would become of tho Grecnlandei
if, when out hunting for tho bear, he
should stand shivering with terror or
an iceberg? What would havo become
of Du Chaillu and Livingstone in the
African thicket with a faint heart and
a weak knee? When a panther comes
within 20 paces of you and it has its eye
on yon aim it has sqaattoel for tho fear
ful spring, “Steady there!”
Courage, O ye spiritual archers
There aro great monsters iu iniquitj
prowling all around about tho commu
nity. Shall we not of tho strength o!
..God go forth and combat them? We not
only need more heart, but more back
bone, What is tho church of God that

It) it wo arc afraid to assault it; milliom
of dollars in barrels, in vats, iu spigots,
in corkscrews, in gin palaces with mar
ble floors and Italian top tables, and
chased ice coolers and in the strychnin*
and the logwood and tho tartaric acid
and tho nux vomica that go to make up
our “pure” American drinks. I looked
with wondering eyes on tho “Heidelberg
tun. ” It is the great liquor vat of Ger
many, which is said to hold 800 hogs
heads of wine, and only three times ir
100 years it has been filled. But, as I
stood and looked at it, I said to myself
“That is nothing—800 hogsheads. Why
our American vat holds 2,500,000 bar
rels of strong drinks, and wo keep) 200,-
000 men with nothing to do but to sot
that it is filled.” Oh! to attack this
great monster of intemperance, and tho
kindred monsters of fraud and unclean
ness, requires you to rally all yoai
Christian courage. Through tho press,
through tho pulpit, through tho plat
form, you must assault it. Would tc
God that all our American Christians
would band together, not for crack
brained fanaticism, but for holy Chris
tian reform.
I think it was in 1793 that there
went out from Lucknow, India, undci
tho sovereign, tho greatest hunting
party that was ever projected. There
were 10,000 armed men in that hanging
party. There were camels and horse!
and elephants. On some princes rode,
and royal ladies under exquisite hous
ings, and 500 coolies waited upon the
train, and tho desolate places of Indio
were invaded by this excursion, and the
rhinoceros, tho deer and elephant fell
under |ho stroke of saber and bullet.
After awhilo the party brought back
trophies worth 50,000 rupees, having
left tho wilderness of India ghastly
with the plain bodies of wild boasts.
Would tQ God that, instead of hero and
there a straggler going out to fight these
great monsters of iniquity in our coun
try, tho million membership of om
churches would baud together and hew
iu twain those great crimes that make
tho laud frightful with their roar and
aro fattening upon tho l^odies and ponls
of immortal men! Who is ready for such
a party as that? Who will bo a mighty
hunter for th© Lord?
The Game.
I remark, again, if yon want to be
successful in spiritual archcry yon need
not only to bring down tho game, but
bring it in. I think one of tho most
beautiful pictures of Thorwaldsen is his
“Autumn.” It represents a sportsman
coming homo’ and standing under a
grapevine. Ho has a staff over hif
shoulder, and on tho other end of tliat
stall aro hnng a rubibt and a brace oi
birds. Every hunter brings homo the
game. No on<5 would think of bringing
down a reindeer or whipping up a
stream for trout and letting them lie in
tho woods. At eventide tho camp if
adorned with the treasures of tho forest
—beak and fin and antler. If you go out
to hunt for Immortal souls, not only
bring them down under tho arrow ol
the gospel, but bring them into the
church of God, tho encampment we
have pitched this side of tho skies.
Fetch them in. Do not let them lie out
in tho open field. They need our prayer*
and sympathies and help. That is the
meaning of the chnrch of God—help.
O yo hunters for tho Lord, not only
bring down the game, but bring it in!
If Mithridates liked hunting so well
that for seven years he never went in
doors, what euthnsiasm ought we to
have who are hunting for immortal
souls! If Domitiunns practiced archery
nntil ho could stand a Loy down in the
Roman amphitheater, with a hand out,
tho fingers like that, and then the king
could shoot an arrow between the fingers
without W’ounding them, to what drill
and what practice ought not wo subject
ourselves iu order to become spiritual
archers and “mighty hunters before the
Lord!” But let mo say, yon will never
work any better' than you pray. The old
archers took tho bow, put ono end of it
down beside tho foot, elevated the other
end, and it was tho rule that tho bow
should bo jnst tho size of the archer; if
it were Just his sire, then ho would go
into tho battle with confidence. Let me
say that your power to project good in
tho world will correspond exactly to
your own spiritual statom In other
words, tho first thing in fireparation fo?
Christian work U personal consecration,
who at some time have been hit by the
Gospel arrow. You felt the wound of
that conviction, and yon plunged into
tho world deeper; jnst as tho stag, when
the hounds are after it, plunges into
Scroon lake, expecting in that way to
escape. Jesus Christ is on your track to
day, impenitent man! not in wrath, bn!
in mercy. O yo chased and panting
* souls! here is tho stream of God’s mcrej
and salvation, whero yon may cool yoni
thirst! Stop that chase of sin today. Bj
the red fountain that leaped from th<
heart of my Lord, I bid you stop. If
thcro in all this honso anyone who car
refuse tho offer that comes from th«
heart of tho dying Son of God? Why,
do you know that there are, in tho ban
ished world, souls that, for that offei
you get today, would fling tho crown ol
the universe at your feet, if they pos
sessed it? But they went out on th*
mountains, tho storm took them, and
they died.
There is in a forest in Germany *
place they call tho “deer leap’’—tw*
crags about 18 feet apart, between therr
a fearful chasm. This is called the
“deer leap” because onco a hunter wai
on the track of a deer. It came to on*
of these crags. There was no escape foi
it from the pursuit of tho hunter, anc
in utter despair it gathered itself up
and in tho death agony attempted te
jump across. Of course it fell, and wa!
dashed on tho rocks far beneath. Here
is a path to heaven. It is plain, it if
safe. Jesns marks it out for every mar
to walk iu. But hero is a man whe
says: “I won’t walk in that path. ]
ivill tako my owi^ay/’ Ho comes or
untirlTO^^Wfffon^^h^cJiaBHS-^, 11 ^
vidos his soul from heaven. No 1
last hour has come, and ho resolves that
ho will leap that chasm, from th*
heights of earth to the heights of heav
en. Stand back now, and give him fuli
swinjt, for no soul ever did that suc
cessfully. Let him try. Jump! Jump!
Ho misses tho mark, and ho goes down,
depth below depth, ‘ ‘destroyed withonl
remedy.” Men, angels, devils, what
shall wo call that place of awfnl catas
trophe? Lot it be known forever as th*
sinner’s death leap.
a
Jolly Asiatic Merchant!.
A large number of tho merchants en
gaged iu trade gave me one day a sump
tuous feast in a fruit garden a short dis
tance outside Yarkand. Few people
know tho way to enjoy life and make
themselves comfortable better than
these merchants. Wo first of all sat
about under the shade of the trees, white
huge bunches of grapes find deliciouf
melons and peaches were freshly plucked
and brought to us to cat. Then dinnei
was announced, and after water foi
washing tho hands had been passed
round, wo sot to oat dish after dish ol
“pillaos” and stews, all beautifully
cooked, and we ended up with a pud
ding made of whipped egg and sugai
and some other ingredients, which it
would be hard to boat anywhere. All
tho time tho merchants were chaffing
away among themselves and were a!
gay and talkative as Frenchmen. Yon
could scarcely wish for better compiany
or more genial hosts.
On tho way homo wo had races, each
merchant trying to make out that hi*
own horso was better than the others.
These men aro a curious mixture ol
eastern gravity and politeness and boy
ish spirits and fun. They will como tc
call on you and talk away with the
greatest solemnity and deference. You
meet them next day out for a burst ol
enjoyment, and every sign of gravity i!
thrown away and they arc as free and
natural and full of life as children.—

SAMUEL O. STONE .
It is written, “joy cometh in the morning,” but in this instance Itcamc
when the sun of life was well adown the western sky, and following such a
stormy afternoon as makes the contrast particularly striking. For over a
decade and a half the venerable writer of the following communication had
battled in vain against that most insidious foe of humanity, heart disease,
In an aggravated form. Doctors had given his case up as hopeless and ad
vised keeping him quiet till the end should come, but it was his good for
tune to find tliat priceless remedy, Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and In the
following letter he states the result.
Grass Lake, Mich., Dec. 28th. ISA
Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind.
I have been troubled with heart disease 1~> years or more. Most of i
time I was so bad it was not safe for me to go out alone. If overtaken 1
one of my dizzy spells, I would fall, helpless. I hr.d severe palpitation^
shortness of breath, and sudden painful attacks that prostrated me. Tho
only thing physicians did for me was to advise keeping quiet.
In August last 1 commenced taking Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and be
fore I had finished the first bottle. 1 found the medicine was a God-send. I
have now used four bottles iu all and am feeling entirely well; I have not
had an attack of the trouble for some mouths.
I am 73 years of age, and have held a grudge against patent medicines
all my life, but I will not allow this feeling to prevent me from giving my
testimony to the great cure your valuable remedy has wrought iiTfne. Ido
this to show my appreciation of the great merits possessed by Dr. Miles’ New
Heart Cure. Very truly yours, Samuel O. Stone.
“Died of heart failure.” How many obituary notices contain these
significant words. The ravages of heart disease are confined to no locality.
Its victims are particularly numerous among the most intellectual and finely
organized. It is no respecter of age and its fatal ending comes very sud
denly. Timely notice, however, Is always given the person attacked, and if
this notice is heeded, as it was in the case of Mr. Stone, and Dr. Miles’
Restorative Heart Cure is promptly taken, almost instant relief will be
experienced and a complete cure generally results.
