Tone 0 *' oo.'i Iter* Washington, May 12.—In this dis course Dr. Tannage urges al Christian workers to Increased fidelity and shows how much effort at doing good fails through lack of adroitness; text, Genesis x, i), ‘‘lie was a mighty hunter before the Lord." In our day hunting is a sport, but in the lands and the times Infested of wild beasts it was a matter of life or death with the people. It was very different from going out on a sunshiny afternoon with a patent breechloader to shoot reedblrds on the flats when Pollux and Achilles and Diomedes went out to clear the land of lions and panthers and bears. Xenophon grew eloquent In regard to the art of hunt ing. In the far cast people, elephant mounted, chased the tiger. Francis I was called the fatfier of hunting. And Moses, in my text, sets forth Nimrod as a hero when it presents him with broad shoulders and shaggy apparel and sun browned face and arm bunch ed with muscle—‘ a mighty hunter be fore the Lord." I think he used the bow and the arrows with great suc cess practicing archery. I have thought if it Is such a grand thing and such a brave thing to clear wild beasts out of a country If it is not a hotter and braver thing to hunt down and destroy those great evils of society that are stalking the land with fierce eye and bloody paw and sharp tusk and quick spring. I have won dered If there is not such a thing as gospel archery, by which those who have been flying from the truth may be captured for God and heaven. The Lord Jesus in his sermon used the art of angling for an illustration when he said, “I will make you fishers of men.” And so 1 think I have authority for using hunting as an illustration of gos pel truth, and I pray God that there may be many a man enlisted In the work who shall begin to study gospel archery, of whom it mn after awhile, be said, “He was a mi fhty hunter be fore the Lord.” nellKloun Bio iderera. How much awkwar l Christian work there is done in the wjrld! How mauy good people there ar who drive souls away from Christ li lead of bringing them to him! All their fingers arc thumbs—religious bl inderers who up set more than they right. Their gun has a crooked ‘barrel and kicks as it goes off. They are like a clumsy com rade who goes along with skillful hunt ers. At the very moment he ought to be most quiet be is crackling an alder or falling over a log and frightening away the game. How few Christian people have ever learned how the Lord Jesus Christ at the well went from talking about a cup of water to the most practical religious truths, which won the woman's soul for God! Jesus iu the wilderness was breaking bread to the people. I think It was very good bread. It was very light bread, and the yeast had done Its work thoroughly. Christ, after he had broken the bread, said to the people, “Beware of the yeast or of the leaven of the Phari sees.” Bo natural a transition it was, and bow easily they all understood him! But how few Christian people there are who understand how to fas ten the truths of God and religion to the souls of men! The archers of olden time studied their art They were very precise In the matter. The old books gave spe cial directions as to how an archer should go and as to what an archer should do. He must stand erect and firm, his left foot a little in advance of tbc right foot. With bis left baud he must take hold of the bow in the middle, and then with the three fin gers and the thumb of his right band he should lay hold the arrow’ and affix It to the string, so precise was the di rection given. But how clumsy we are about religious work! How little skill and care we exercise! How often our arrows miss the mark! I am glad that there are institutions established in many of the cities of our land where men may learn the art of doing good- studying spiritual archery and become known as “mighty hunters before the Lord.” The Gospel Arrow. Ill the first place, If you want to be effectual In doing good you must be very sure of your weapon. There was soinetbing very fascinating about the nrebery of olden times. Perhaps you do not know what they could do with the bow and arrow. Why, the chief battles fought by the EngllAi Plan- tagenets were with the longbow. They would take the arrow of polished wood and feather it with the plume of a bird, and then it would fly from the bowstring of plaited silk. The bloody fields of Agincourt and Solway Moss and Neville's Cross heard the loud thrum of the archer’s bowstring. Now, my Christian friends, we have a mightier weapon than that. It Is the arrow of the gospel. It Is a sharp arrow; It Is u straight arrow; it Is feathered from the wing of the dove of God's Spirit; It flics from a bow made out of the wood of the cross. As far ns I can estimate or calculate. It bus brought down 400,000,000 of souls. Poul knew how to bring the notch of that arrow on to the bowstring, and its whir was heard through the Corinthian theaters and through the courtroom un til the knees of Felix knocked together. It was that arrowtbat stuck In Luther’s heart when be cried out: “Oh. tny sins! Oh, my sins!” If it strike a man In the bead, It kills his skepticism; If it strike him In the heel, It will turn his step; If It strike bim ju tlie heart, he throws up bis hands, as did ono of old when wounded in the battle, crying, “O Galilean, thou bast conquered!” In the armory of tin* K'»rl of Pem broke there are old corselets which show that the arrow of the English used to go through the breastplate, through the body of the warrior and out through the back plate. What a sym- l>ol of that gospel which Is sharper than a two edged sword, piercing to the dividing asunder of soul and body and of the Joints and marrow! Would to God we hud more faith lu tbal gospel' humblest man In the m* Woiin, if ho iiArt enough fnltlt in It. could bring a hundred souls to Christ —perhaps five hundred. Just* In pro portion as this age seems to believe less and less In it I believe more and more in it. Wlmt are men about that they will not accept their own deliver ance’/ There is nothing proposed by men tlint can do anything like this gospel. An Omnipotent Weapon. The religion of Italph Waldo Enter son was Hie philosophy of Icicles; the religion of Theodore Parker was a si rocco of the desert, covering up the soul with dry sand; the religion of He nan was the romance of believing al most nothing; the religion of the Hux leys and the Spencers is merely a ped estal on which human philosophy sits shivering in (lie night of tlie soul, look ing up to the stars, offering no help to the nations that crouch and groan at the base. Tell me where there Is one man who has rejected that gospel for another who Is thoroughly satisfied and helped and contented In his skepticism and I will take the ear tomorrow and ride 500 miles to see him. Tlie full power of tlie gospel has not yet been touched. As a sportsman throws up his band and catches the hall Hying through the air. Just so easily will this gospel after awhile catch this round world flying from its orbit and bring it back to the heart of Christ. Give it full swing, and it will pardon every sin, heal every wound, euro-every trou ble, emancipate every slave and ran som every nation. Ye Christian men and women who go out tills afternoon to do Christian work, as you go into the Sunday schools and the lay preach ing stations and the penitentiaries and the asylums I want you to feel that you bear iu your hand a weapon com pared with which the lightning lias no speed and avalanches have no heft and the thunderbolts of heaven have no power. It is tlie arrow of th« omnipo tent gospel. Take careful aim! Pull the arrow clear back until the head strikes the bow! Then let it fly! And may the slain of the Lord be many! Again, if you want to be skillful In spiritual archery, you must hunt in unfrequented and secluded places. Why docs the hunter go three or four days into the Pennsylvania forests or over Rnquette lake Into the wilds of the Adirondacks? It Is the only way to do. The deer are sny, and one “bang” of the gun clears the forest. From the California stage you sec, ns you go over the plains, here and there a coy ote trotting along almost within range of the gun—sometimes quite within range of it. No one cares for that; it is worthless. Tlie good game is hidden and secluded. Every hunter knows that. So many of the souls that will be of most worth for Christ and of most value to the church are secluded. They do not come In your way. You will have to go where they are. Yon der they are down iu that cellar; yon der they are up in that garret—far away from tlie door of any church. Tlie gospel arrow has not been pointed at them. The tract distributer and the city missionary sometimes just catch a glimpse of them, as a hunter through the trees gets a momentary sight of a partridge or roebuck. The trouble is we are waiting for the game to come to us. A Command and a Promlfte. We are not good hunters. We are standing on some street or road, ex pecting that the timid antelope will come up and eat out of our band. We arc expecting that the prairie fowl will light on our church steeple. It Is not their habit. If the church should wait 10,000,000 years for the world to come in and be saved. It will wait In vain. The world will not come. What the church wants now Is to lift Its feet from damask ottomans and put them In the stirrups. The church wants not so much cushions as it wants saddle bags and arrows. We have got to put aside the gown and the kid gloves and put on the hunting shirt. We want a pulpit on wheels. We have been fish ing so long in the brooks tbat run un der tlie shadow of the church that the fish know us. and they avoid the hook and escape as soon as we come to the bank, while yonder is Upper Saranac and Big Tapper’s lake, where the first swing of the gospel net would break it for the multitude of tbe fisbes. There is outside work to be done. What is it that 1 'ee In the backwoods? It is a tent. he hunters have made a clear ing < i camped oaf. Wbnt do they car' they have wet feet or If they have /otblng but a pine branch for a pillow or for tbe northeast storm? If a moose In tbe darkness steps Into the lake to drink, they hear It right away. If a loon cry In the midnight, they hear It So In tbe service of God we have exposed work. We have got to camp out and rough It We are put ting all our care on the comparatively few people who go to church. What are we doing for tbe millions who do not come? Have they no souls? Are they sinless that they need no pardon? Are there no dead In their bouses tbat they need no comfort? Are they cut off from God to go Into eteruity-uo wing to bear them, no light to cheer them, no welcome to greet them? 1 hear today, surging up from that lower depth of our cities, a groan that comes through our Christian assemblages and through our beautiful churches, and It blots out all Hits scene Irom my eyes, as by tbe mists of a great Niagara, for the dash and the plunge of these great torrents of life dropping down Into the fathomless and thundering abysm of suffering and woe. I sometimes think that Just as God blotted out the eliureb- ps of Thyatlra and Corinth and Lao- dicea because of their slot it and stolid ity be will blot out Aiuericgq and Eng lish Christianity and raise on the ruins a stalwart, wide awake missionary church that can take the full meaning of that command: “Go ye into all the world and preaeli the gospel to every creature. Tie that believetb and is baptized shall be saved, but he that bc- llevetb not shall he damned,” a com mand, you see, punctuated with a throne of heaven and a dungeon of hell. More Backbone Xfteded. I remark, further, If you want tp suc ceed In spiritual archery you must have courage. If the hunter stands with trembling hand or shoulder that flinch es with fear, Instepd of his taking the catamount the catamount takes him. What would become of tbe Gietuland- er if when out hunting for the bear he should stand shivering with terror on an Iceberg? What would have become of Du Chaillu aud Livingstone in the African thicket with a faint heart and • weak knee? When a panther com^t wllfitu ifl’ ptHcH of yon, litid It has It# tyo on yon. and It has squalled for the fen ful spring. “Sti ndy there!” Cour age, O ye spiritual archers! There are great monsters of Iniquity prowling all around about tlie community. Shall we not In the strength of God go forth and combat llieui? We not only need more heart, but more backbone. What Is the church of God that It should fear to look in the eye any transgression? There Is the Bingal tiger of drunken ness that prowls around, and Instead of attacking it how many of us hide under the church pew or tlie commun ion table! There Is so much Invested In It we are afraid to assault It—millions of dollars iu barrels, in vats, in spigots, in corkscrews, in gin palaces with mar ble floors and Italian top tables, and chased Ice coolers, and In the strych nine, and tlie logwood, and the tartaric arid, and die mix vomica that go to make up our “pure” American drinks. I looked with wondering eyes on the “Heidelberg tun.” It is the great liq uor vat of Germany, which Is said to hold 800 hogsheads of wine, and only three times in a hundred years It has been filled. But as 1 stood aud looked at it I said to myself: “That Is nothing —800 hogsheads. Why, our American vat holds 10.200.000 barrels of strong drink, and we keep 500,000 men with nothing to do but to see that it is fill ed.’’ Oh, to attack this great monster of intemperance and tlie kindred mon sters of fraud aud uncleanness requires you to rally all your Christian courage! Through the press, through the pulpit, through the platform, you must assault U. ChrloYInn Reform. Would to God that all our American Christians would band together, not for crackhraiued fanaticism, but for holy Christian reform! i think It was in 1793 that there went out from Luck now, India, under the sovereign, the greatest hunting party that was ever projected. There were 10,000 armed men in that hunting party. There were camels and horses and elephants. On some princes rode, and royal ladies under exquisite housings, and 500 coolies waited upon the train, and the desolate places of India were invaded by this excursion, and the rhinoceros and deer and elephant fell under the stroke of the saber and bullet After awhile the party brought back trophies worth 50.000 rupees, having left the wilderness of India ghastly with the slain bodies of wild beasts. Would to God tbat instead of here aud there a straggler going out to fight these great monsters of iniquity iu our country the millions of members of our church es would band together and hew in twain these great crimes that make the land frightful with their roar and are fattening upon the bodies and souls of Immortal men! Who Is ready for such a party as that? Who will bo a mighty hunter for the Lord? I remark, again, If you want to be successful in spiritual archery you need not only to bring down tbe game, but bring it In. I think one of the most beautiful pictures of Tborwald- sen Is his “Autumn.” It represents a sportsman coming home and standing under a grapevine. He has a staff over his shoulder, and on the other end of that staff are hung a rabbit and a brace of birds. Every hunter brings home the game. No one would think of bringing down a roebuck or whip ping up u stream for trout aud letting them lie in the woods. At eventide the ca|up is adorned with the treasures of the forest—beak and fin and artier. If you go out to hunt for immortal souls, not only bring them down under the arrow of the gospel, bUfcbriug them into the church of God, the grand home and encampment we have pitch ed this side the skies. Fetch them iu. Do not let them lie out in the open field. They need our prayers and oyrn- pathies and help. That is tbe meaning of tbe church of God—help. O ye hunters for the Lord, not only bring down the game, but bring it in! The Merciful lluntaman. If Mithridates liked bunting so well that for seven years he never went In doors. what enthusiasm ought we to have who are hunting for immortal souls! If Dogiitian practiced archery until he could stand a boy down in tbe Roman amphitheater with a hand out, the fingers spread apart, and then the king could shoot an arrow between tbe fingers without wounding them, to what drill and what practice ought we to subject ourselves In order to become spiritual archers and “mighty hunters before the Lord!” But let me say you will never work any better than you pray. The old archers took the bow, put one end of It down beside tbe foot, elevated the other end, and It was tbe rule that the bow should be Just the size of the archer. If It were Just ids size, then he would go into the battle with confidence. Let me say that your power to project good In the world will correspond exactly to your own spirit ual stature. In other words, the first thing in preparation for Christian Work is personal consecration; Oli, for a cloarr walk with God, A t alin yml heavcriiy frupie, A lipht to tbina upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! • I am sure that there are some men who at sorite time have been bR by the gospel arrow’. You felt tlie wound Of that conviction, ami you plunged Into (he world deeper, just ns the stag, when the hounds are after it, plunges Into Schroon lake, expecting in that way to escape. Jesus Christ is on your track today, O impenitent man, not •h wn»Gb hut in mercy. 0 ye chased and panting souls, here is tho stream of God’4 mer cy and salvation, where you may cool your thirst! Stop that chase of sin Jo- day. By (lie red fountain Jhgi leaped from tlie heart of my Lord I bid you stop! There is mercy for you—mercy that pardons, mercy that heals, ever lasting mercy. The 12 gates of God’s love stand open. Enter and be forever safe. Th°rc is In a forcs^ jn penEitny p place they call (hp “deer leap”—twq crags, about IS yards apart, between them a fearful chasm. *T)ls is pglled tbe “deer leap” hecausp once a hunter was on the track pf a It came to one of these crags.

It rode good for awhiie, but soon it run like a wagon. I thought probably the wheel needed cleaning up, so I took it to a repair shop and told the repairman I wanted him to give it a good cleaning. He examined it and said it did not need cleaning. I asked him what it needed, and he said new bearings, for the ones that were in it were nothing but pot metal. I asked him how he would trade me a Rambler for mine, and he said he’d trade for $20.50 difference. I told him we could not trade. He said he could buy my wheel new for $10.25, so we traded, and I have been riding my Rambler for eight months and haven’t paid out one cent for repairs.” “I believe I’ll go and get me one like jours.” “Come one, I’ll go with you.” “Hello Parker, fix. 8. up a wheel like mine.” “Alright^ here it is.” “What’s it worth?” “$35.00.” “Here’s your money.
