REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN¬ DAY SERMON. Subject: “A Mediterranean Voyage.” (Preached at Brindisi, Italy.) Text; "And no it came to past that they escaped all safe to land.” Acts xxvii., 41.

When the roll of the ship is I learn from this subject First, that those who got us into trouble will not stay to l-'air help us Havens out. These shipmen gotl’aul out of the tempest into dropped the storm; but as soon as upon them, they wanted to go off in the small boat, caring nothing for what became of Paul and tho passengers. Ah me! human nature is the same in all ages. Thev who get tts into trouble novel’stop to help us out. They who tempt that young man into a lifo of his dissipation imlieciUty, will anil be to the drop first him to laugh at of 1 out ilecent society. Gamblers always make fan of the losses of gamblers. I'liey who Look over all the predicaments of your life, anil count the names of those who have got vou into those predicaments, who helped and tell me the name of one ever you out. Thev were glad enough to get damaged you out from Fair Havens, but when, with rig ging. vou tried to get into harbor, did they hold for you a plank or throw you a rope? Not one. Satan has got thousands of men into trouble, but ho never got one out, He led them into tk ift. but he would not hida tb* spider goods or bail out the defendant, lho shows the flv tho way over tho gossa mer raer bridge Dnage into imo tuo tue cobweb, rouweu, but out it it never i shows the flv the way out of the cobweb over flu- gossamer briffge. I think that there pririigal’l'pend were plenty of lflsmoneyf fast young men "when'lie to help the lmt hud waited his substance in riotous living, they let him go to the swine pastures, while they Iwdook themselves to some other now comer, They who tako l J aul out of Fair Havens will asKSiar *■•»“>*"* I remark again, ns a lesson learned from the text, that it is dangerous to refuse tho counsel of competent advisers. Paul told them not to go out with that ship. They thought ho knew nothing about it. They said: “He is only a minister!” They went, and the ship was who destroyed. There are a great many people nothing about now the say of ministers: They ‘‘They know world. cannot talk to ust” Ah, my friends, it is not necessary to have the Asiatic cholera be fore you can give it medical treatment in others. It is not. necessary to have your own arm broken before you can know how to splinter a fracture. And we who stand in the pulpit, ami in tho office of a Christian teacher, know that there ar« certain styles of belief and certain kinds of behavior tlmt will lend to destruction as cer tainly as Paul knew that if that ship went out of Fair Havens it would go to destine tion. “Rejoice, 0 young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in thy days of thy youth ; but know thou that for all these things God will bring much, thee but into judgment.” that, Wo may not know wo know Young people refuse tha advice of parents, They mother say: is getting “Father old.” is over-suspicious and But those parents iinvo been on tho sea of life. They know where the Rtoruis sleep, aud during their voyage have seen a thousand battered hulks making tho place whoro beauty burned, and intellect foundered, and morality sank. They ore old sailors, having answoreil many a signal of weather, of distress, nnd and endnreil scudding great under stress gone Viaro ]ioles; they and talking the old folks know what aro about. Look at that man—in Ids cheek tho glow of infernal tires. His eyo flashes not as once with thought, but with low passion. His brain is a sower heart tha through trough which imparity floats, nnd his in which lust wallows and drinks. Men shudder as the leper passes, nnd parents cry: “Wolf! jvolf P Yet be oDce sold the Lord’s Prayer at his mother's knee, and against, that iuiquit ous brow onoe her pressed counsel. a pure He mother’s where lips, But be refused went euroclydons have their lair. He foundered on the sea, while all hell echoed at the roar of the wreck: Lost Pacifies! Lost Pacifies! Another lesson from the subject is that Christians are always safe. There did not seem to be much chance for Paul getting out of that shipwreck, days, did there? with They had not, in those rockets which to throw lifeboats ropes over foundering of but little ves sels.

Tho deluge rushed in, and wo felt that one or two more waves like that must swamp wall, it sprang half way up to tho ceiling, Rushing through tho skylights as it camo in with such terrific roar, there went up from the calmi a shriek of horror which I pray Goil I may never hear again.

The cy seemed to stand on the deck, waving its wing, captured crying: Ha! ‘This ship is ihine I I have it! ha! I will command itl If God will permit, I will sink it here and the now!

The great booms got loose, and, as with the heft of a thunder the holt, jib pounded the deck and beat the mast— boom studding saU boom, and square sail boom, with their strong arms, beating time to the awful march and music of the hurricane. Meanwhile the ocean became phosphorcs cent. The whole scene looked like fire. The and there was a deck of Are. A ship of fire, sailing on a sea of fire, through a night of ‘Tis “8“aSS years of age got down and prayed for “is “other, “if I should give up,” he come of mother.” There 'were 'menwho^ I think, lmd not prayed for thirty years. ieels that ho has come to his last time, it makes a very busy night.

I tell you a eternity so close to him that be can feel its breath on his cheek. The night was long. At last we saw the looking through the port holes. Asia olden time, in the fourth watch of the Jesus came walking on the sea, from wave cliff to wave cliff; and when Ho puts His foot upon a billow, though it may bo tossed up with might it Tlfey goes down. He cried to tho winds, Hush! knew His voice. Tke waves know His foot. They died away. And in the shining track of His feet I read these letters on scrolls of foam and fire: “The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea.” Tho ocean ealmixl. The path of the steamer became more nud more mild; until, on the last morning out, the sun threw round about ns a glory such as I never witnessed before. God made a pavement of mosaic, reaching from horizon to horizon, for all the splendors of earth anil heaven to walk upon—a pavement bright enough for the foot of a seraph—bright enough for tho wheels of the archangel’s chariot. As its a parent grief, embraces that a child, and kisses away so over sea, that nan been writhing In agony in the teni|>est, the morning threw its arms of beauty and of benediction, and tho lips of earth anti heaven met. As I came on deck—it was very early, and wo wero nearing tho shore—I saw a few sails against tho sky. They seemed liko the spirits Df the night walking the billows. and I leaned aver the taffrnU of tho vessel, said: “Thy way, O God, is in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters.” It grew lighter. The clouds wero hung in purple clusters along the sky; and, as if those purple ami poured clusters wero pressed into rod wine out upon the sea, every wave turned stood opposite into crimson. fire Yonder, and fire cleft to cleft; here, a cloud, rent anil tinged with lijflit, seemed like a dows. palace, with The Haines whole bursting lighted from the win¬ scene up un¬ til it seemed as if the angels of God were ascending and descending upon stairs of lire, and the wave-crests, changed thyst, into they jasper, flung and toward crystal, tho and ame¬ as think were of tho of heaven beach, made me crowns cast before the throne of tho great Jehovah. I leaned over the taffrnil again, and said, with more emotion than bofore: “Thy way, 0 Goil, is in the sea, and Thy path in tho great waters?” Go, 1 thought, will be the going off of the storm and night of tho Christian’s lifo. Tho darkness will fold its tents and away! The golden feet of the rising morn will come skipping wrathful upon billows the of mountains, the world’s and all the woe break into the splendor of eternal joy. Anil so we come into the harbor. The cyclone behind us. Our friends be fore around us. God, And who is roll always good, all us. if tho of the crew and the passengers hail been called seven hundred souls would have answered to their nanios. “And so it came to pass that wo all escaped safe to land.” And may God grant that, when all our Sabbaths on earth aro ended, wo may find that, through tho rich mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, we all have weathered the gale! Into the harbor of heaven now wo glide, Home at la^r! Softly wo drift on the bright silver tide. Home at last ! Glory to God ! All our dangers are o’er; We stand secure on the glorified shore.
