REV. DR. TALMAGE. TUB NOTED DKV1NE'8 SUNDAY 8KKMON. TrxT: "Ifthotree fall toward tho south, or toward tho north, in tho nlnco whore tho treo falletli, there it shall bo." - Eocl. ii.. 3. Thoro is a hovering hope in tho minds of a vast raultitudcof pooplo that therowill bo an opportunity in tho noxt world of correcting the mistakes of this; that however complete a shipwreck wo may make of our earthly life, it will bo on a bench up which wo may walk to a palace; that us a defendant may lose his ease In n Circuit Court ami appeal it anil liave it ?o up to tho Supreme Court or Court of Chancery and all the costs thrown over on the other party, so n mau may lose his case in this wot Id, but in the higher jurisdiction of eternity have tho decision of tho earthly case set aside, all the costs remitted and tiie defendant tie triumphant forever. The object of ray sermon is to show you that common sense declares with trie text that such an expectation is chimerical. "If tho tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the placo whore the tree falleth, there it siiall he." There are those who say that if the impenitent and unfortunate man enters the next world and sees tho disaster, as a result of that disaster lie will turn, tho distress the cause of his reformation; ImI we have ton thousand instance* ail armnd about us of people who have done wrong and disaster suddenly eatne upon them ?did the disaster ln*al tliein? No, 11ley went <>u. There is a man flun^ of dissipations. 'l'ho doctor savs to litin: "Now, mv friend, if you don't stop drinking and don't stop this fast lite you are living, you will die." The patient thanks the ithvsicinn for his warning and gets hotter; he begins tosit up. begins to walkaround the room, begins to go to business and takes the same round of grog shops where he got his morning dram aud his evening dr.-on and the drains between. Down again. Satno dootor. Satno physical anguish. Santo medical warning. But now the sickness is more protracted. the liver more obstinate. the stomach more irritable, the digestive organs more rebellious. But still, under medical skill, he gets better, goes forth, commits tho same sacrilege against his physical health. Sometimes h*> wakes up to see what lie Is doing, and lie realizes ho is destroying his family and that his life is a perpetual perjury against his mariiage vows, and that that broken-hearted wotnau is so different from the roseate wife ho married thnt her o'.d schoolmates do not recognize her on the stroef, nn<t that liis sous are going out in liTo under tho taunt of n father's drunkenness, and that his daughters nrc going out in life under tho searillcatioh of a disreputable ancestry. His nerrA? AfA p^i a jufig!;\ From licfytl to sole of foot h<5 is oLc aolifiTjr, F.V-plug. crucifying, dumiiiDg torture. Where h he? He i? in og earth. Does it stop him? All! no, Aittr awhile delirium, tremens pours out upon His pillow a Whole jungle of hissing reptiles. His screams h >rr{fy tho neiglihors as he dashes cmt ot bod crying, "Take these things off of me!" He is drinking down tlm goinfort of his family, the eduealion of h.is children, their prospects for this life and perhaps their prospects for the life to come. Dale and conval' scent ho sits up. l'hysieian says to him. "Now, my gool fellow, I am going to have a plain talk Willi you. It you ever have an altr.de of thi iviii'4 iiKiiu ,>n;i win uit\ 1 run i suvn you, ami all the doctors in creation can't save you."' Tho patient yets up, starts out, jroes tho same round of dissipation and is down uptin; but this tiino medio inns do not touch his case. Consultations of physicians say there is no hope. Death ends tho scene. That process of inebriation and physical suffering ami medical warning ami dissolution is tnkiny place within a stone's throw of where you sit and in every neighborhood of Christendom. P.iin does not reform. Sufferinjj does not cure. What Is true in reyard to one sin is true in reyani to all sins, and yt men are expe.-tiiu; in the next lift*there will he opportunity for puryat ?ri:? I reyenerat ion. Auaiti, I wish you to further notice that another < hat;ce in another world means the ruin of tills. Now. suppose n wicked man is assured that after a lifetime of wick Incss lie eati iix it all riqht in tho future? That would he the demoralization of society, that won' 1 tie the demolition of tit" human race. There are now men who arc kept on the limits of sin by their fear. The fear that ii we are I,-vl and unforyiwn here p will n< t he well for us in the next existence, is the chief influence that keeps civilization front rtishtny hack into semi-barbarism, ai d keeps semi-barbarism from rushiny buck into miilniyht savayerv. and keeps midnight savayerv from rushiny hack into extinction. Another chance in another world means tho demolition of this world. Furthermore, my friends?for I am ttreuehiny to myself as well us to"you?we {are on tin* same level, and though the platform is a little hiuhor than the pew, it is only for convenience, an t that we may the better speak to the people; we are all on the -mm1 platform, and I am talkiny to toy soul while I talk to yours?inv friends, why another chance in another world when we have declined so many chances in this? Suppose you spread a banquet and you invite a vast number of friends, and union;; others you send an invitation to u man who disregards it. or treats it in an obnoxious way. Duriny twenty years you yavc twenty banquets, a banquet a year, and you invite your friends, and every time you invite this man. wliodisreyards your invitation or sendback some in dignity. After a while you move into a larger house and amid morr luxurious surroundings. an 1 yon invite your friends, hut you do not invito tlint man to whom twenty times you sent an invitation to the smaller house. An yon to Illume? You would only malt' yourself absurd before God and man to s"ii< that man another invitation. For twenty years lie has I declining your oiters urn sending in-ult for your kindness an I courtesy, and can he blame you? Can he coup up to your house on the nii^iit of the ban quel? Looking up and seeing it is a Unci house will he have any right to say: "Id mi in. I have declined .'ill thoso other offers hut thi- is a larger hoii e. a more luxuri.m abode. I,et 1110 in. Give MM' allot he chance." <?' 11 lias spread a l<r.ni|iiot of 11igrace fore ns. For three hundred anil sixty-fly 'lav? of every year, smeo we know tin- liilYi r once between oiir riirlit haiul ami our loft He has invited us l>v His Providence and h; His Spirit. Suppose wo 'Incline all these of fers of kin Inns.-. Now the hnnipiet is spr. n< in a large plane, in the heavenly palace. In vitntions are sent out. hut no invitation i sent to us. Why? Because we decline all those other ban<|UPts, Will Goi lie to blame? Will we havo an right to rap on the door of heaven and say ' 1 ought not to hnshut out of this place give me another chance;" Twelve gates o salvation standing wide for free adail-sio all our life ami then when the twelve gate elose we rush oil ttio bosses of Jehovah' buckler, saying: "Give me another ehaueo. A ship is to sail for Hamburg. You want t goto Germany by that line. You hoo tit advertisement of the steamer's sailing. Yo see it for two weeks. You see it in tit morning papers and vott see it in lite evonin; papers; you see it placarded on the wallCirculars are thrown into your ofllo telling you all about that steamer.

Suppose wo lot that opportunity sail away, and then wo look out nud say: "Send ba"li that opportunity, 1 want to take it; tt isu't treating mo fairly. Give mo another chance." Why, my brother, you might as well go out and stand on tho Highlands nt tho'Xavosink three days after the Majestic has gone out, and shout: "Captain, coino back; I want to go to Liverpool on tho Majestic. Comeback over tho sea and through tho Narrows and up to the docks. Give mo another chance." You might woli do tliut as, after tho Inst opportunity of heaven lias upod away, try to got it hack again. Just think of it! It canto on rao yesterday lu my study with overwhelming impress!vonoss. Just think o." it. All heaven offered us as a gratuity for a whole lifetime, and yet wo wanting to ipish agninst God, saying: "Givo mo another chance!" There ought to be, there will be, no such thing as posthumous opportunity. You see eomtnon-senso agrees with my text in saying that "If the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, 'n tho p!nco where tho tree fallcth, there u shall he." You see this idea lifts this world from an uuimporlaut way-station to a nlatform of stu poudous Issue-', and makes till eternity whirl around this hour. Oh, my soul! :nv soul! Only one trial, and all the preparation for that trial to be made in this world, or never made at all. Oh. my soul! my soul! You s?o this pilos up all the emphasis and all the climaxes and all the destinies into this life. No other chanoc. Oh. how that intensifies tho value and the importune"of this change. "Alexander and his nrrnv used to come around n city and thev would kindle a great light, with tho understanding that as long as that light was burning tho city might surrender, aud all would be well, but if they let that light go out, then tho battering rams would swing against the walls and thoro would come disaster and demolition. Oh, my friends, all you and I need to do to prepare lor eternal safety is just to surrender to tho King and Conqueror, Christ. Surrender hearts, surrender life, surrouoer everything. Tho great light keeps burning, light kiudtod by the wood of tho cross, light Darning up against the dark night of our sin and sorrow. Oil, let 11s surrender before the light goes out, and with it our Inst oppoituuity of making our peace with God through our T.-ir.l f.wtia f'l.-IiO Ol. ?...

The private soldier took olT his liolmet and went up to the Earl of Huntley and put thhelmet 011 his head. Now, the head of tlni private soldier uncovered, he wits soon slain, whlto his commander rode in safety through and out of the battle. Hut it is different in our case. Instead of a private offering a helmet to d'a farl, it is the Kins of heaven and earth offering a crown to 1111 unworthy subject, the Kimt dying that wo might live!

"What are you waiting for?" says one who on earth had very foc'.do intellect to one who had great brain and whose voice was silvery, and who had fee.pters of power.

Charleston Mllltlanipn Sit Cnmfnrtahlv in the Stern Sheets ami Kxpect the Onicers to How Themiiuck of I)iscl|illne. South Carolina's Nnvnl Militia is quito sharply criticised by the board of naval ulTairs appointed to make an <nspection of the "Palmetto Reserve." In their oflicial report to the Secretary of the Navy of the inspection made at Charleston, Juue loth, l(5tk and 17th, the board states that the professional knowledge, outside of piloting, boat sailing and of engines of the South Carolinians, is very meagre. "In the first division?the Charleston division?thero were evidences oi much lack of discipline. The seuior oflicers seemed to huvo no idea of the habit of comnran 1, nor to buve sufficient control over their men. When crubnrkiug in cutters it was noticeable that tho enlisted men seated themselves comfortably in the stern sheet* and expected the ollicers to take their oars. When spoken to regarding tliii state of atVaiis, the militia oHicers admitted that there was but little discipline in the division. Tho discipline of tho secoud war somewhat better than that of tho first, and that of the third (or Beaufort) division was very good. The men of tho third were well set up; the oflicers gave their commands well, and obedience was quick and prompt. Both officers and men of this division appear to tako more interest, and to be more eager to learn, tkuo those of the other divisions. Tho commander is a tug engineer, and, with all tho other oflicers, has no knowledge of naval life or customs, nor of men-of-war and nnval weapons, and jt is not reasonable to expect great ^gufjs under such conditions. We tnink Tt Lighly ndvisnblo that a monitor, with shit ably bonis, be furnished tliis cc jmmaniT and that a Ifue officer of the nifv? be ordered iu command '.o act as Instructor* The executive officer, althoifgTi a very pleasant ami intelligent gentleman, did not seem to aclively enter upon tho performance of the duties of hi3 office, or to seek knowledge relative thereto. The uniforms so far as the enlisted men concerned are absolutely unsuitable. They are the same for oflic? rs ami men, i.s they had when they were in tho militia under the war department, slight changes have been made to give a naval aspect without much regard for correctness. It is recommended that th y ho requested to use iliA Krutr* iimtiMiil of tlin Tin tinmil kliiolil ami to put the letters "S. C." above the cap device, after tho manner of the Georgia Naval Militia; wo also recommend that, if possible, the proa out largo stock of obsolete navy uniforms be served out to tho naval militia. Ellicicucy in the various ratings .s only fair. Some of the petty ollieeie bid fair, under proper discipline and instruction, to become excellent leading men. Several of these showed remarkable /.en 1 and earnestness to learn. The State has not made very libera' appropriations for the naval nulitin, and the manner of appointing officers will he improved when the nills now pending before the Legislature becomes a law. There is no tpiestiou i that this organization is badly handiI capped for want of suitable appliances, such as a monitor or vcsccl of sonic sort, a few boats, a number of copies of our drill books, proper uniforms, and above all, u graduate of the Nava Academy as instructor.
