Tnlmftge employs a very bold figure ot the
Bible to bring out the helpfulness of re
ligion for all those iu any kind ot struggle.
The test is Isaiah xxv., ll.-'Heshnll spread
forth his hands In the midst of them, ns he
that swlmmeth spreadeth forth his hands.”

In the posds nnd lakes and

rivers and seas to dive or float or swim. In
,voria the most of which is water all men
and women should learn to swim. Some of

duced by George Pewters in 1850, euoh
ftroke of that kind carrying the swimmer
« distance of six feet, and someot vou may
use the overhand stroke Invented by Gnr
Ueuer the expert who by it won the 500

but most of you usually take what is call

under the water, the inside of the wrists
touching the breast, then pushing the
arms forward coincident with the stroke of

The fisherman seeks out unfrequented
nooks. You stand ali day on the bank of
a river in the broiling sun and fling out
your line nnd catch nothing, while an ex
pert angler breaks through the jungle aud
goes by the shadow of the solitary rock
and, in a place where no fisherman has
been for ten years, throws out his line nnd
comes home at night, UIs face shining and
his basket full. I do not know why we
ministers of the gospel need always be
fishing in the same stream and preaching
from the same text3 that other people
preach from. I cannot understand the
policy of the minister who in Blackfriars,
London, England, every week for thirty
years preached from the Epistle to the
Hebrews. It is an exhilaration to me
when I come across a theme which 1 feel
bo one else has treated, aud my text Is one
oE that kind. There are paths in God’s’
word that aro well beaten, by Christian
feel. When men want to quote Scripture,
they quote the old passages that every one
has heard. When they want a chupter
read, th5y read a chupter that all the other
people have been reading, so that the
church to-day is Iguorant of throe-fourths
of the Bible.
You go .into the Louvre at Baris. You
confine yourselt to one corridor ot that
opulent gallery of paintings. As you come
out your friend says to you, “Bid you see
that Rembrandt?” “No.” “Bid you 6 ee
that Ituhens?" “No.” “Did you see that
Titian?” “No.” “Did you see that Raph
ael?” “No.” “Well,” says your Irieud.
“then you did not see the Louvre.” Now,
my friends. I think we are too much apt to
confine ourselves to one of the great corri
dors of Scripture truth, aud so much so
that there is notone person out ot a mil
lion who has ever noticed the all sugges
tive and powerful picture in the words of
my text.
This text represents God as a strong
swimmer, striking out to push down iniq
uity and save the. souls of men. “Ks shall
spread forth his hands in the midst of
them, as hethat swimmeth spreadeth forth
his hands to swim.” The figure is bold and
many sided. Most of you know-how to
swim. Seme of you learned it in the city
school, where this qrt is taught; some
you iu boyhood, in the river near
lather’s house; some of you since you came
to manhood or womanhood, whilo sum
mering on the beach of the sea. It is a
good thing to know how to swim, not only
for yourself, tut because you will after
awhile perhaps have to help others.
I do not know anything more stirring or
sublime than to see some man like Norman
McKenzie leaping from tho ship Madras
into the sea to save Charles Turner, who
had dropped from the royal yard while
trying to loosen the sail, bringing him back
to the deck amid the huzzas of the passen
gers and crew. If a man has not enthusi
asm enough to cheer in such circum
stances, he deserves himself to drop into
the sea and have no one help him. The
Royal Humane Society of England applaud was and es
tablished in 177-1, its object to life
reward those who should pluck up from
the deep. Any one who has the performed particu-
6 uch a deed of daring has all
lars of that bravery recorded iu a public
record and on his breast a medal done in
blueaudgold nnd bronze, telling anchoraud mon
ogram and inscription, to future
generations tho bravery of the mail or
Wornau who saved some one from drown
ing. But if it is such a worthy thing to
save a body from tho deep I ask you if it is
not a worthier thing to save an immortal
soul. And you shall see this hour tho Son
of God step forth for this achievement.
“Ho shall spread forth his hands in the
midst of them, as ho that swimmeth
spreadeth forth his hands to swim.”
In order to understand the full force of
this figure, you need to realize that our
race is in a sinking condition. You some
times hear people talking of what they
consider the most beautiful words in all
our language. One man says it is “home,”
another says it is the word “mother,” an
other says it the word “Jesus,” but. I tell
you the bitterest word in all our language,
the word most angry and baleful, tho word
saturated with the most trouble, the word
that accounts for all the loathsomeness
and the pa.ng and the outrage and the har
rowing, and that word is “sin.” You spell
it with three letters, and yet those three
letters describe the circumference and
pierce the diameter of everything bad i 11
the universe. Sin is a sibilant word. You
cannot pronounce it without giving the
siss of the flame or the hiss of the serpent.
Sin! And then if you add throe letters to
that word it describes every one of us by
nature—sinner. We have outraged the
law of God, not occasionally, or now aud
then, but perpetually. The Bible declares
it. Hark! It thunders two claps: “Tho
heart is deceitful above.all things and des
perately wicked.” “Toe soultlnit sinneth,
it shall die." What the Bible says our
■own conscience affirms.
After Judge Morgan bad sentenced Lady
Jane Grey to dentil his conscience troubled
kitn so much for the deed that he became
insane, and nil through his insanity lie
Lady kept saying: “Take her -away from Lady me!
June Gray:! Take her away!
JaDe Greyl” It was thevoieeof conscience.
Aud no 'man ever does anything wrong,
however great or small., but the conscience
brings that matter before him, it and at
every step of his misbehavior says,
“Wrong, wrong!” Sin is a ieprosy; sin fs a
paralysis; siq is a cocsumnlion, sin is pollu
tion: sin is death. Give it a fair chance,
and it will swamp you and me. body, mind
and soutl, forever. In this world it only
Siyes a taint intimation of its virulence.
You gee a patient in the flr 3 t stages of ty
phoid fever. The cheek is somewhat
flushed, th« hands somewhat hot, preceded
bv a slight chili. “Why,” you say, “ty
phoid fever does not seem to be muefA
of a disease/’ But wait until the patient his
has been l,x weeks under it, and all
energies have been wrung out, und he is
too weak to life his little Unger, and his
intellect gone, than you see the full havoc
of the disease. Now. sin iu this world is
an ailment which is only in its first stages,
twt tkt it get under full sway, and it ls an
all consuming typhoid. Oh, if we could
bee our tinpardoued sins as QoU sees them,
oar teeth would chatter and ,oar knees
Would knock together, and our respiration
would be choked, and - our tavnrt would
break* If your sins are unforgiveD, they
are bearing down ou you, and you are
sinking—sinking sinking uvrny from happiness,
away from God. sinking a way from
everything Thou that is good und blessed.
what do we want? A swimmer—a
strong swimmer, a swift swimmer! And,
blessed be God, in my text we have him
unuounced. “He shall spread forth his
hands la the midst of them, as he that
swlinmeth stretcheth forth his hands to
swim." You have noticed that when a
swimmer goes to rescue any one he puts
o(T his heavy apparel. He must not have
any such impediment about him If he is
going to do this great deed. Aud when
Christ stepped forth to save us Ue shook
off the sandals of heaven, aud his feet were
free, and then he stepped clown into the
wave of our transgressions, and it ctune up
over his wounded feet, and it came above
the spear stab In his side—aye, it dushed
to the lacerated temple, the high water
mark of anguish. Then, rising above the
llood, “He stretched forth his hands in the
midst of them, ns he that swlmmeth spread
eth forth his hands to swim.’*
It you have ever watched a swimmer,
you notice thut Ills whole body Is brought
into play. The arms ure flexed, the hands
drive the water baek, the knees are active,
the head is thrown hack to escape strangu
lation, the whole body is in propulsion.
And when Christ sprang into the deep to
suve us He threw His entire nature Into it—
ail His godhead, His omniscience, Htsgood
ness, His love, His omnipotence, head,
heart, eyes, hands, feet. We were far out
on the sea and so deep down in the waves
and so far out from the shore that nothing
short of an entire God could save us.
Ghiist leaped out for our rescue, saving,
“Lo, I come to do thy will!”, and all the
surges of human and patanic hate beat
against Him, anil those who watched Him
from the gates of heaven feared He would
go down under the waves and insteud of
saving others would Himself perish; hut,
putting His breast to the foam aud shak
ing the surf from His locks. He came on
and on until He is now within the reaeh
of every one here, eye omniscient, heart
infinite, arm omnipotent, mighty to save,
even unto the uttermost.
Oh, it was not halt a God that trampled
down bellowing Geunesaret; it was not a
quarter of a God that mastered the de
mons of Gadara: it was not two-thirds of a
God that lifted up Lazarus into the arms
of his overjoyed sisters; it was not a frag
ment of a God who offered pardon nnd
peace to all the race. No. This mighty
swimmer threw his grandeur, his glory,
his might, his wisdom, bis omnipotence
und his eternity into this one act. Ic took
both hands of God to Bave us—both feet.
IIow do I prove it? On the cross were
not both hands nailed? On the cross
were not both feet spiked? His entire
nature involved iu our redemption!
If you have lived much by the water,
you notice also that if any one is going out
to the rescue of the drowning he must be
independent, self-reliant, able to go alone.
There may he a time when he must spring
out to save one, and he cannot get a life
boat. and if he goes out and has not
strength enough to bear himself up aud
bear another up he will sink, and instead
of dragging one corpse out of the billows
you will bave two to drag out. When Christ
sprang out iuto the sea to deliver us, He
had no lile buoy. His Father did not help
Him. Alone in the wine press, alone in the
pang, alone iu the darkness, alone on the
mountain,alone in the sea! Oh, if He saves
us He shall have all the credit, for “there
was none to help," no oar, no wing, no
ladder! When Nathaniel Lyon fell in the
battle charge in front of his troops, he had
a whole army to cheer him. When Marshal
Ney sprang into the contest and plunged
in the spurs till the dorse’s flanks "spurted
blood, ail France applauded him. But Jesus
alone! “Of the people there was none to
help." “All forsook him and fled.” Oh, It
was not a flotilla that sailed down and
saved us. It was not a cluster of gondolas
that came over the wave. It was one per
son, independent nnd alone, ^spreading
out I-Iis hands among us ns a swimmer
spreadeth forth his bauds to swim.”
Behold, then, the spectacle of a drown
ing soul and Christ the swimmer! I believe
it was in ISIS when there were six English
soldiers of the Fifth fusileers who were
hanging to a capsized squall boat—a boat miles that
had been upset by a three
irom shore. It was in the night, but one
man swam mightily for the beach, guided
by the dark mountains that lifted their tops
through the night. He eame to toe beach.
He found a shoreman that consented to go
with him and save the other men. and they
put out. It was some time befoie they
could flud the place where the men were,
but after awhile they heard their cry,
“Help, help!” and they bore down to them,
and they saved them and brought them to
shore.
It you have been muck by tho water, you
know very well that when one is in peril
help must corns very quiekly, or it will be
of no use. One minute may decide every
thing. Immediate help the man wants or
no help at all. Now, that is just the kind
of relief we want. The ease is urgent,
imminent, instantaneous. See that soul
sinking! Son of God. lay hold of him.
Bo quick, be quick! On, I wish you all
understood how urgent this gospel is.
There was a man in the navy at sea
who had been severely whipped for
bad behavior, and he was maddened
by it and leaped into the sea, and no sooner
had he leaped into the sea than, quick as
lightning, an albatross swooped upon him.
The drowning man, brought to his senses,
seized hold of the albatross and held on.
Tho fluttering of the bird kept him ou the
wave until relief could come. Would now
that the dove of God’s convicting, convert
ing and saving spirits might flash from the
throne Upon your soul and that you, taK
iug hold of its potent Wing, might live and
live forever.
Tho world has had strong swimmers be

greatest among them Stattne w Webb, of tho
British mercantile marine service. He
leaped from the dock of the Russia, the Cun
ard steamer, to save the life of a sailor who

guilt and woe, and brought us to the shore
of safety, although Heat last wont down

Now modes , have , beeu invented • „ ior res
cuing a drowning body, but there has been
no new invention for rescuing a drowning
soul. In 1785 Lionel Lukin, a London
coach builder, fitted up a Norway yawl as
a lifeboat and called it the Insubinergible.
and that has been improved upon until
from all the coasts of the round world per
fect lifeboats are ready to put out for the
relief of marine disasters. In sixteen years
the French Society For Saving Life From
Shipwreck saved 2129 lives. The Ger
man Association For the Rescue ot
Life From Shipwreck, the Royal Na
tion Lifeboat institution und our
United Stales life saving service
have done a work beyond the power of
statistias to commemorate. What rocket
lines and sling life buoys and tally boards
and mortars and hammocks and cork mat
tresses and'life saving stations filled with
machinery for saving the bodies of the
drowning! But let me here aud now make
it plain that them has been no new way in
vented for the moral and eternal rescue of
a struggling sou! Five hundred attempts
at such contrivance have been made, but i
all of them dead failures. Hear it! j
“There is none other name under heaven

Richard Cumberland, the playwright,
was extremely Jealous of his young
rival, Richard Sheridan. 'It is related
that he took his children to see one of
the first performances of “The School
for Scandal,” and when they screamed
with delight their irritable father
pinched them, saying: "What are you
laughing at? You should not laugh,
my angels; there is nothing to laugh
at.” adding, in an undertone, “keep
still, you little dunees.” When this
was reported to Sheridan he said: “It
was ungrateful in Cumberland to be
displeased with his children for laugh
ing at my comedy-, for when I went to
see his tragedy I laughed from begin
ning to end!”—The Argonaut.

Parisian Affection for the Dog,
It seems that there are at least 5,000
persons in Paris who are determined
to make the canine pre-eminent. The
dog tailor asserts that for the most
part j his clients belong to the highest
classes of society—people who can af
ford to pay high prices and who pay
ready cash. The business is, there
fore, a very profitable one, because the
materials used do not cost much, and
can be sold at a large profit. A bride
recently ordered, for example, gala
suits for her dogs to match the liver
ies of the lackeys of her ’household.
In a dog’s wardrobe are found water
proofs for rainy days, dust cloaks for
journeys, a mantle for cold weather, a
gray-lined suit for seaside wear, and
night robes of various weights. And
this is not all. His delicate little feet
must he kept dry by boots, made to
measure, of leather of india. rubber, to
suit his particular temperament. This
together with bracelets and ti-pins,
with ivory combs and brushes, and
other important accessories. The mod
era Frcnch canine, indeed, leads a
‘ do^’s “ life.”

Wash Your Eyegiassea.
“Spectacles anti eyeglasses are as
ranch benefited by a bath now and
then as people are," says a well-known
optician. “It Is Rtmngc how many
people there are who think that their
glasses only need an occasional wiping.
Now, the fact Is. glasses require ac
tual baths as frequently as does the
ordinary person. The process Is ns
simple us you wunt to make it. My
plan, however, is to take the glasses
to a wash bowl and give them a good
soaklug In warm water. Thou apply
soap freely and rub it off by the use
of a soft tooth or nail brush. .After
that, give them a polish with nny of
the usual tooth powders, and thi’h
clean them with tissue paper, which
is much better for the purpose than
chamois skin or anything else that I
know of.
“The ordinary cleansing is all right
ns far ns It goes, but it Is not sufficient.
Many persons have done great injury
to their eyes by neglecting to pt operly
clean their glasses. I have had a num
ber of patients come to me with com
plaints about what they called gradual
diminution of their sight. An exami
nation revealed the fact that It was
wonderful that they could see at nil,
for their glasses were blurred over
and had been fearfully neglected. A
little soap and water, to which'a few
drops of ammonia were added, did the
business.’’—Woman’s Life.
