Washington, Jan. 27.—In thla dis
course Dr. Talmage describes the gos
pel net nud how It is to be repaired aft
er being damaged; text, Matthew Iv,
21, ‘‘James, the son of Zebedee, and
John, his brother. In a ship with Zebe
dee, their father, mending their nets.”
“I go a-Qshiug!” cried Simon Peter to
his comrades, and the most of the apos
tles had hands hard from fishing tackle..
The fisheries of the world have always
attracted attention. In the third cen
tury the queen of Egypt had for pin
money $470,000 received from the fish
eries of Lake Moeris. And, if the time
should ever come when the immensity
of the world’s population could not he
fed by the vegetables and meats of the
laud, the sea has an amount of animal
life that would feed all the populations
of the earth and fatten them with a
food that by Us phosphorus would
make a generation brainy and intellec
tual beyond anything that the world
has ever Imagined. My text lakes us
among the Galilean fishermen. One
day Walter Scott, while hunting in an
old drawer, found among some old fish
ing tackle the manuscript of his im
mortal boot, “Waverley,” which he
had put away there as of no worth,
and who knows hut that today we may
find some unknown wealth of thought
while looking at the fishing tackle in
the text.
It is not a good day for fishing, auJ
three men .are in the boat repairing the
broken fishing nets. If you are fishing
with a hook and line, and the fish will
not bite, it is a good time to put the
angler's apparatus into better condi
tion. Perhaps the last fish you hauled
In was so large that something snap
ped. Or, if you were fishing with a
net, there was a mighty llounderiug of
the scales or an exposed nail on the
side of the boat which broke some of
the threads and let part or all of the
captives of the deep escape into their
natural element. And hardly anything
is more provoking than to nearly land
a score or a hundred of trophies from
the deep, and when you are in the full
glee of hauling ir the spotted treasures,
through some imperfection of the net
they splash hack into the wave. That
is too much of a trial of patience for
most fishermen to endure, and many a
man ordinarily correct of speech in
such circumstances comes to an in
tensity of utterance unjustifiable.
Therefore no good fisherman considers
the time wasted that is spent in mend
ing his net. Now, the Bible again and
again represents Christian workers as
fishers of men, and we are all sweep
ing through the sea of humanity some
kind of net. Indeed there have been
enough nets out and enough fishermen
busy to have landed the whole human
race In the.kingdom of God long be
fore this. What is the matter? The
gospel Is all right, and It has been n
good time for catching souls for thou
sands of years. Why then the failures?
The trouble is with the nets, and most
of them need to be mended. I propose
to show you what Is the matter with
most of the nets and how to mend
them. lu the text old Zebedee and his
two boys, James and John, were doing
a good tiling when they sat iu the boat
mending their nets.
Fnalt of the Net*.
The trouble with many of our nets Is
that the meshes are too large. If a fish
can get his gills and half his body
through the network, he tears and
rends and works his way out, and
leaves the place through which he
squirmed a tangle of broken threads.
In our desire to make everything so
easy we relax, we loosen, we widen.
We let men after they are once in the
gospel net escape Into the world, and
go Into Indulgences and swim all
around Galilee, from north side to
south side, and from east side to west
side, expecting that they will come
back again. We ought to make It easy
for them to got Into the kingdom of
God, and, ns far as we can, make it
impossible for them to get out. The
poor advice nowadays to many is: "Go
and do just as you did before you were
captured for God and heaven. The
net was not intended to be any re
straint or any hindrance. What you
did before you were a Christian do
now. Go to all styles of amusement,
read all the styles of books, engage in
all the styles of behavior as before you
were converted.” And so, through
these meshes of permission nud laxity
they wriggle out, through this opening
and that opening, tearing the net ns
they go, and soon all the souls that we
expected to land In heaven before we
know It are back in the deep sea of the
world. Oh. when we go u-gospel fish
ing, let us make It as easy ns possible
for souls to get iu and ns bard as pos
sible to get out.
Is the Bilile language an unmeaning
verbiage when It talks about self de
nial, and keeping the body under, and
about walking the narrow way, and
entering the strait gate and about car
rying the cross? is there to be no way
of telling whether a man is a Chris
tian except by ids taking the com
munion chalice on sacrumeutal day?
May a man be as reckless about Ids
thoughts, about his words, about bis
temper, nJioiit bis amusements, after
conversion as before? Alas, the words
of Christ are so little heeded when he
said, "Whosoever doth not benr Ids
cross nud come after me cannot be my
disciple.” The church is fast becoming
as bad ns the world, and when It gets
as had as the world It will be worst
than the world by so much, as It will
add hypocrisy of a most appalling kind
to Its other defects.

Furthermore, ntnnv of our nets art
torn to pieces by being entangled with
other nets. It is u sad sight to see fish
enneu fighting about set room, and pull
ing lu opposite directions each to get
tils net, both nets damaged by the
struggle and losing all the fish. In this
land, where there are more than 70,-
000,Of*) people, there are at least 30,-
000,000 not in the Sunday schools and
rhurches. In such an Atlantic ocean
of opportunity there Is room for all
the nets nud nil tie* boats and nil the
fishermen and for millions more. There
should It ihi rivalry between churches.
Each one does a work peculiar to It-
self. But there are cities iu tills coun
try where there is now going op an
ft
a
awful ripping and rending and tearing
of fishing nets. Indeed all over Chris
tendom at this time there is a great
war going on between fishermen, min
isters against ministers.
Now, I have noticed a man cannot
fish and tight at the same time. He
either neglects ids net or.his musket.
It h amazing how much time some of
the fishermen have to look after other
fishermen. It is more than I can do to
take care of my own net You see the
wind Is just right, and ii Is such u good
time for fishing, and the fish are coming
iu so rapidly that I have to keep my
eye and hand busy. There are about
200,000,000 souls wanting to get into
the kingdom of God, and it will
require all the nets and all the fisher
men of Christendom to safely land
them. Oh, brethren of the ministry, let
us spend our time iu fishing instead
of fighting. But if I angrily jerk my
net across your net, and you jerk your
net angrily across mine, we will soon
have two broken nets and no fish. The
French revolution nearly destroyed the
French fisheries, and ecclesiastical war
is the worst thing possible while haul
ing souls into the kingdom. My friends,
I notice in the text that James, the son
of Zebedee, and John, his brother, were
busy not mending somebody else’s nets,
but mending their own nets, and I
rather think that we who are engaged
iu Christian work in tills opening cen
tury will require all our spare time to
mend our own nets. God help us In
the important duty!
Nerd of Common Sense.
In this work of repair we need to put
into the nets more threads of common
sense. When we can present religion
as a great practicality, we will catch a
hundred souls where now we catch
one. Present religion as an intellectu
ality, and we will fail. Out iu the fish
eries there are set across the waters
what are called gill nets, and the fish
put theH heads through the meshes and
then cannot withdraw them, because
they are caught by the gills. But gill
nets cannot be of any service in reli
gious work. Men are never caught for
the truth by their heads; it is by the
heart or not at all. No argument ever
saved a man, and no keen analysis ever
brought a man Into the kingdom of
God. Heart work, not head work.
Away with your gill nets! Sympathy,
helpfulness, consolation, love, are the
names of some of the threads that we
need to weave in our gospel nets when
we are mending them.
Do you know that the world’s heart
Is bursting with trouble, and if you
could make that world believe that the
icligiou of Jesus Christ is a soothing
omnipotence the whole world would
surrender tomorrow—yea, would sur
render this hour. The day before
James A. Garfield was inaugurated as
president I was iu the cars goiug from
Kichmond to Washington. A gentle
man seated near to me lu the cars
knew’ me, and we were soon in famil
iar conversation. It was just after a
bereavement, and 1 was speaking to
him from an overburdened heart about
the sorrow I was suffering. Looking at
his cheerful face, I said: “I guess you
have escaped all trouble. I should
judge from your countenance that you
have come through free from all mis
fortune.” Then be looked at me with
a look 1 shall never forget and whis
pered In my ear: “Sir, you know noth
ing about trouble. My wife has been
lu an insane asylum for 13 years.” And
then he turned and looked out of the
window aud into the night with a si
lence I was too overpowered to break
That was another Illustration of the
fact that no one escapes trouble. Why,
that man seated next to you In church
has on his soul a weight compared with
which a mountain Is a feather. That
woman seated next to you in church
has a grief the recital of which would
make your body, mind and soul shud
der.
The Silken Thread.
When you are mending your net for
this wide, deep sea of humanity, take
out that wire thread of criticism aud
that horsehair thread of harshness and
put in a soft silken thread of Christian
sympathy. Yea, when you are mend
ing your nets tear out those old
threads of gruffness and weave In a
few threads of politeness aud genial
ity. In the house of God let all Chris
tian faces beam with a look that means
welcome. Say “Good morning” to the
stranger as he enters your pew, and at
the close shake hands with him aud
say, "How did you like the music?”
Why, you would he to that a man a
panel of the door of heaven; you would
be to him a note of the doxology that
seraphs sing when a new soul enters
heaven. I have lu other days entered
a pew in church and the woman at the
other end of the pew looked at me as
much as to say; "How dare you? This
is my pew and I pay the rent for it!”
Well, I crouched in the other corner
aud made myself as small as possible
and felt as though I had been stealing
something. So there are people who
have a sharp edge to their religion, and
they act as though they thought most
people had been elected to be damned
ami they were glad of It. Oh, let us
brighten up our manner and appear In
gentlemanliness or ladyhood.
The object In fly fishing is to throw
the liy far out, and then let It drop
gently down and keep It gently rising
and fulling with the waters, and not
plunge it like a man-of-war’s anchor,
and abruptness and harshness of ihan-
ncr must he avoided in our attempt at
usefulness. I know a man lu New
York who Is more sunshiny and genial
when he has dyspepsia than when he
is not suffering from that depressing
trouble. I have found out his secret.
When ho starts out iu the morning
with such depression, he asks for si**-
clal grace to keep from snapping up
anybody that day, and puts forth addi
tional determination to be kindly and
genial, and by the help of God ho ac
complishes It. Many of our nets need
to bo mended lu these respects, the
black threads and the rough threads
Liken out, nud the bright threads aud
the golden threads i f Christian genial
ity woven iu.
In addition to this wo need to mend
our nets with more threads of patience.
It Is no rare thing for n fisherman to
spend one whole day before he can
take a St. Lawrence pike, or an Ohio
salmon, or a Long Island pickerel, or a
Cayuga black liass, or a Delaware cat
fish, and he does that day after day
without particular discouragement.
But what n lack of patience If wo do
not Immediately succeed In soul catch
ing. We are apt to give It up and
say, "I will never try again." Into all
our nets we need to weave all along
the edge and all through the center
great, long stout threads of Christian
patience. How patient God has been
with us! Can we not be patient with
our fellows?
Tbrends of Pnltta.
Again, in mending our nets we need
also to put in the threads of faith and
tear out all the tangled meshes of
unbelief. Our work is successful ac
cording to our faitb. The man who
believes in only half a Bible, or the
Bible iu spots; the man who thinks
he cannot persuade others; the man
who halts, doubting about this and
doubting about that, will be a failure
In Christian work. Show me the man
who rather thinks that the garden of
Eden may have been an allegory,
aud Is not quite certain but that there
may be another chance after death,
and does not know whether or not the
Bible is Inspired, and I tell you that
man for soul saving is a poor stick.
Faith lu God aud Jesus Christ and
the Holy Ghost and the absolute neces
sity of a regenerated heart in order to
see God In peace is one thread yon
must have In your mending net or you
will never be a successful fisher for
men. Why, how can you doubt? The
rottenest threrid to tear out of your
net is unbelief, and the most important
thread that you are to put in it is
faith. Faith In God, triumphant faith,
everlasting faith.
Oh, this Important work of mending
our nets! If we could get our nets
right, we would accomplish more in
soul saving lu the next year than we
have in the last 20 years. But where
shall we get them mended? Just where
old Zebedee aud his two boys mended
their nets—where you are. James and
John had no time to go ashore. They
were not fishing for fun, as you aud I
do iu summer time. It was their live
lihood and that of their families. They
mended their nets where they were—in
the ship. “Oh,” says some one, “I mean
to get my net mended, and I will go
down to the public library, and I will
see what the scientists say about evo
lution and about the ‘survival of the
fittest,’ and I will read up what the
theologians say about ‘advanced
thought.’ I will leave the ship awhile,
aud I will go ashore and stay there till
my net is mended.” Do that, my broth
er, and you will have no net left. In
stead of their helping you mend your
net they will steal the pieces that re
main. Better stay lu the gospel boat,
where you have all the means for
mending your net. What are they, do
you ask. 1 answer all you need you
have where you are—namely, a Bible
and a place to pray. The more you
study evolution nud adopt what is call
ed advanced thought the more useless
you will be. Stay in the ship and
mend your net. That is where Janies,
the son of Zebedee, aud John, bis broth
er, staid. That is where all who get
their nets mended stay.
Avoid Denominational Strife.
I notice that all who leave the gospel
boat aud go ashore to mend their nets
stay there, or, If they try again to fish,
they do not catch anything. Get out of
the gospel boat aud go up Into the
world to get your net mended, aud you
will live to see the day when you will
feel like the man who, having forsaken
Christianity, sighed, “I would give a
thousand pounds to feel ns I did in
1820.” The time will come when you
would be willing to give a thousand
pounds to feel as you did in IDOL
These men who have given up their re
ligion cannot help you a bit.
These dear brethren of all denomina
tions, afflicted with theological fidgets,
had better go to mending nets instead
of breaking them. Before they break
up the old religious let them go through
some great sacrifice for God that will
prove them worthy of such a work,
taking the advice of Talleyrand to a
man who wanted to upset the religion
of Jesus Christ aud start a new’ one,
when he said, "Go and be crucified aud
then raise yourself from the grave the
third day!” Those who propose to
mend their nets by secular aud skep
tical books are like a man who has
just one week for fishing and six ot
the days he spends In reading Isaak
Walton’s “Complete Angler,” and
Wheatley's “Uod and Line,” and Scott’s
“Fishing In Northern Waters,” and
Pullman's "Vade Mecum of Fly Fish
ing For Trout,” aud then on Satur
day morning, bis last day out, goes to
the river to ply his art; hut that day
the fish will not bite, and late on Sat
urday night he goes to his home with
empty basket. Alas! alas! If, when the
Saturday night of our life drops on us,
It shall be found that we have spent
our time in the libraries of worldly
philosophy trying to mend our nets,
and we have only a few souls to report
as brought to God through our Instru
mentality, while some bumble gospel
fisherman, his library made up of a
Bible and an almanac, shall come home
laden with the results, his trophies nil
the souls within 15 miles of his log
cabin meeting house.
The Flahera Crowned.
In the time of great disturbance In
Naples In 10411, Massanlello, a bare
footed fishing boy, dropped his fishing
rod, and by strange magnetism took
command of that city of 000,000 souls.
He took of his fishing jacket and put
on a robe of gold in the presence of
howling mobs. He put his hand on
his lip as a signal and they were silent.
He waved his hand away from him
aud they retired to their ^omes. Ar
mies passed in review hefotv him. He
became the nation's Idol. The rapid
rise ami complete supremacy of that
young fisherman, Massanlello, have do
parallel lu all history. But something
equal to that and better than that Is
an everyday occurrence iu heaven. God
takes some of those who in tills world
were Ushers of men and who tolled
very humbly, hut because of the way
they mended their nets nud employed
their nets after they were mended, he
suddenly hoists them and robes them
and scepters them and crowns them
and makes them rulers over many
cities, and he marches armies of saved
ones before them lu review—Massa-
nlellos unhouored on earth but radiated
In heaven. The fisher hoy of Naples
soon lost his power, but those people
of God who have kept their nets mend
ed and rightly swung them shall never
lose their exalted place, lint shall reign
forever and ever and ever. Keep that
reward In sight.
But do not spend your time fishing
with hook aud line. Why did not James,
tho son of Zehislee, sit on the wharf at
Cana, his feet hanging over the lake,
and with a long pole and a worm on
the hook dipped Into the wave wait for
some mullet to swim up nud be caught?
Why did not Zebedee spend his after
noon trying to catch one eel? No, that
work was too slow. These men were
not mending a hook aud line; they
were mending their nets. So let the
church of God not be content with hav
ing here one soul and next month an
other soul brought into the kingdom.
Sweep all the seas with nets, scoop
nets, seine nets, drag nets, all encom
passing nets, and take the treasures in
by hundreds and thousands and mil
lions, and nations will be born iu u
day aud the hemispheres quake with
the tread of a ransoming God. Do you
know what will be the two most tre
mendous hours in our heavenly exist
ence? Among the quadrillions of ages
which shall roll on what two occasions
will be to us the greatest? The day of
our arrival there will be to us one of
the two greatest. The second greatest,
I think, will be the day when we shall
have put in parallel lines before us
what Christ did for us aud what we
did for Christ, the one so great, the
other so little. That will be the only
embarrassment iu Leaven. My Lord
and my God, what will we do and what
will we say when on one side are
placed the Saviour’s great sacrifices
for us, aud our small sacrifices for him
—his exile, bis humiliation, his agonies
on one hand and our poor, weak, insuffi
cient sacrifices on the other? To make
the contrast less overwhelming let us
quickly mend our nets, and, like the
Galilean fishermen, may we he divine
ly helped to cast them on the right side
of the ship.
