Washington, D. O.—In this discourse Dr.
Talmage employs a very bold figure of the
Bible to bring out the helpfulness of re¬
ligion for all those in any kind of struggle.
The text is Isaiah xxv., 11, “He shall spread
forth his hands in the midst of them, as he
that swimmeth spreadeth forth ids hands.”
In the summer season multitudes of peo¬
ple wade into the ponds and lakes and
rivers and seas to dive,or float or swim. In
a world the most of w 6 ioh is water all men
and women should learn to swim. Some of
you have learned the side stroke intro¬
duced by George Pewters in 1850. each
stroke of that kind carrying tho swimmer
a distance of six feet, and some of you may
use the overhand stroke invented by Gar¬
dener, the expert who by it won the 500
yard championship )n Manchester in 1862,
the swimmer by that stroke carrying his
arm In the airfor a more lengthened reach,
and some of you may tread the water as
though you had been made to walk the sea,
but most of you usually take what is call¬
ed the breast stroke, upward, placing the hands
with the backs about five inches
under the water, the inside of the wrists
touching the breast, then pushing the
arms forward coincident with the stroke of
the feet struck out to the greatest width
possible, and you thus uucousciously illus¬
trate the meaning of my text, “He shall
spread forth his hands in the midst of them,
as hands he that Bwim.” swimmeth spreadeth forth his

The fisherman seeks out unfraqueuted
nooks. You stand all day on the bank of
a river in the broiling sun and fling out
your line and catch nothing, while an ex¬
pert angler breaks through the jungle and
goes by tho shadow of the solitary rock
and, in a place where no fisherman has
bean for ten years, throws out his line and
comes home at night, his face shining and
his basket full. I do not know why we
ministers of the gospel need always bo
fishing in the same stream and preaching
from the same texts that other people
preach from. I caDnot understand the
policy of the minister who in Blackfrlars,
London, England, every week for thirty
years preached from the Epistle to the
.
Hebrews. It is an exhilaration to mo
when I come across a theme which I feel
no one el30 has treated, and my text Is one
of that kind. There are paths in God’s
word that are well oeateu by Christian
feet. When men want to quote Scripture,
they quote the old passages that every one
has heard. Wlieu they want a ebupter
read, they read a chapter that aii the other
people have been reading, so that the
church to-day Is ignorant of three-fourths
■of the Bible.
You go into the Louvre at Paris. You
confine yourself to ono corridor of that
opulent gallery of paintings. As you come
out your friend says to you, “Did you see
that Rembrandt?” ‘No. ■ ” “Did you see
that Rubens?” “No,” “Did you see that
Titian?” “No.” “Did you see that Raph¬
ael?” “No.” “Well,” says your friend,
“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 not one person out of 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. “He shall
spread iorth his hands in the midst of
them, as hethat swimmeth spreadeth forth
hts hauds 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 art is taught; some of
you in boyhood, in tho river near your
father’s house; some of you since you came
to manhood or womanhood, while sum¬
mering on the beach of the sea. It Is a
good thing to know how to swim, not only
for yourself, but because you will aftor
awhile perhaps have to help others,
I do not know anything more like stirring Norman or
sublime than to see some man
McKenzie leaping from the ship Madras
into the sea to save Charles Turner, who
had dropped from the royal yarn while
trying to loosen the sail, bringing him back
to the deck amid the huzzas of the passen-
geis and crew. If a man has not enthusi¬
asm enough to obeer in such circum¬
stances, he deserves himself to drop into
the sea and have no one help him. The
Royal Humane Society of England was and es¬
tablished In 1774, its objeot to applaud
reward those who shouhlpluck up life from
the deep. Any one who has performed
such a deed of during has all the particu¬
lars of that bravery recorded in a public
record and on his breast a medal done in
blue and gold and bronze, anchor and mon¬
ogram and inscription, telling to future
generations the bravery of the man or
wornau who saved some one from drown¬
ing. But if it is such a worthy thing to
save a body from the deep I ask you if it is
not a worthier thing to save an immortal
soul. And you shall see this hour the Son
of God step forth for this achievement.
“Ho shall spre id forth his hands In the
midst of them, as he 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, word
the word most angry andbulefui, the
eaturnted with the most trouble, the word
that accounts for all the loathsomeness
and the pang and the outrage and the har¬
rowing, aid that word is “sin.” You spell
It with three letters, aud yet those three
letters describe the circumference and
pierce the diameter of everything bad in
the universe. Sin Is a sibilant word. You
cannot pronounce it without giving the
Biss of the flame or the hiss of the serpent.
Sin! And then If you add three letters to
that word it describes every one of us by
nnture—sinner, We have outraged the
law of God; not occasionally, or now and
then, but perpetually. The Bible declares
it. IIark 1 It thunders two claps: ' “Tho
heart is deceitful above all things and des¬
perately ft wicked.” “Tne soul that sinneth,
shall die.” What the Bible says our
own conscience affirms.
After Judge Morgan had sentenced Lady
Jane Grey to death his conscience troubled
him so much for the deed that he became
insane, and all through his Insanity he
kept saying: “Take her away from me!
Lady June Grey! Take her away! Lady
Jane Grey!” It was the voice of conscience.
And no man ever does anything wrong,
however great or small, but the conscience
brings I hat matter before him, and at
every step of Ids misbehavior It says,
“Wrong, wrong!” Sin Is a leprosy; sin is a
paralysis; sin is a consumption, sin is pollu¬
tion; tin is death. Give it a fair chance,
and it will swamp you and me, body, mind
and soul, forever. In this world it only
gives a faint intimation of its virulence,
You see a patient in the first stages of ty-
phoid fever. The cheek is somewhat
flushed, the hands somewhat , hot, preceded . .
by a slight chili. “Why,” you say, “ty¬
phoid lever does not seem to be much
of a disease.” But wait until the patient
has been l.x' weeks under it, and all his
energies have been wrung out, and he is
too weak to lift his little linger, and his
Intellect gone, theu you see the full havoc
of the disease. Now, sin in this world is
an ailment which i; only in its first stages,
but let it get under fail sway, and it is an
all consuming typhoid. Oh, if we could

everything that is good and
Then what do we want? A swimmer—a
strong swimmer, it swift swimmer! And,
blessed bo God, in my text wo have hln>
announced. "Ho shall spread forth his
hands in the midst of them, as he that
swimmeth stretchout forth his hands to
swim.” You have noticed that when a
swimmer goes to rescue any one he puts
oft his heavy apparel. He must not have
auv going such Impediment about deed. him If ho ts
to do this great And when
Christ stepped forth to save us he shook
off the sandals of heaven, and his feet were
free, and then he stepped down into the
wave of our transgressions, and it came up
over his wounded ieet, and it came above
the spear stab in his side—aye, it dashed
to the lacerated temple, the high water
mark of anguish. Then, rising above the
flood, “He stretched forth hie hands In the
midst of them, ns he that swimmeth epread-
eth forth his hands to swim.”
If you have ever watched a swimmer,
you uotioe that his whole body is brought
into play. The arms are flexed, the hands
drive the water back, the knees are active,
the head is thrown back to escape strangu¬
lation, the whole body is in propulsion.
And when Christ sprang into the deep to
save us He threw His entire nature Into it—
all His godhead, His His omniscience His good¬
ness, His love, 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.
Chiist leaped out for our rescue, saying,
“Lo, I oome to do thy willl” and all the
surges of human and satanic hate beat
against Him, and those who watched Him
from the gates of heaven feared He would
go down under tho waves and instead of
saving others would Himself perish; but,
putting His breast to the foam and shak¬
ing the surf from His locks, He came on
and on until He is now within the reach
of every one here, eye omniscient, heart
infinite, arm omnipotent, mighty to save,
even unto the uttermost.
Ou, it was not half a God that trampled
down bellowing Gennesaret; it was not a
quarter of a God that mastered the de-
tnonsof Gadava; 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 par ion and
peace to all the race. No. This mighty
swimmer threw his grandeur, his glory,
and his eternltyTnto°tb’is^one STTt‘t“k
both hands of God to save us—both feet.
How do I prove it? On the cross were
not both hands nailed? On the cross
were not both feet spiked? His entire
nature involved to our redemption!
If you have lived much by the water,
you notice also that It any one is going out
to the rescue of the drowning he must be

may be a time he must
out to save one, and he cannot got a life-
boat, and if he goes out and has not
strength enough to bear himself up and
bear another up he will sink, and instead
of dragging one corpse out of the billows
you will have two to drag out. When Christ
sprang out into the sea to deliver us, He
had no lite buoy. His Father did not help
Ilim. Alone in the wine press, alone in the
nfoontainpilone'in “V|°H Heaves
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 tiil the horse’s flanks spurted
blood, all France applauded him. But Jesus
alonel “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 and alone, “spreading
out His hands among us as a swimmer
spreadeth forth his hauds to swim.”
Behold, then, the spectacle of a drown-
iug soul and Christ the swimmer! I believe
it was in 1848 when there were six English
soldiers of the Fifth t'usileers who ware
hanging to a capsized boat—a boat that
had been upset by a squall three miles
from 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 came to the beach.
He found a shoreman that consented to go
with him and save the other mon, and they
put out. It was some time before they
could find the place where the men wore,
but after awhile they heard their cry,
“Help, helpl” and they bore down to them,
and they saved them and brought them to
a!loro '
If you have been much by the water, you
know very well that when one is in peril
help must come very quickly, or it will be
of ho use. One minute may decide every-
thlng. Immediate halp the man wunts or
no help at all. Now, that Is just the kind
of relief we want. The case Is urgent,
imminent, instantaneous. See that soul
sinking! Son of God, lay hold of him,
Be quick, be quick! Oh, £ wish you all
understood how urgent this gospel i3.
There was a man in the navy at sea
who had been severely whipped for
bad behavior, and he was maddened
lightning, an albatross swooped his upon him.
Tho drowning man, brought to senses,
seized hoid of the albatross and held on.
The Buttering of the bird kept him on 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 aud that you, tak¬
ing hold of Us potent wing, might live and
live forever.
The world has bad strong swimmers be¬
sides the one of the text, perhaps the
greatest among them Matthew Webb, of the
British mercantile marine service. He
leaped from the deok of the Kussia, the Cup-
nrd steamer, to save the life of a sailor who
had fallen overboard. No wonder the
passengers subscribed for him a large re¬
ward and the Royal Humane Society of
London decorated him with honors. A
mighty swimmer and was he, by the strength
of his own arm foot pusbiDg through
the waters from Blackwall pier to Graves¬
end pier, eighteen miles, and from Dover to
Calais. 89 miles, where be crossed, yet he
was drowned at last in our Niagara’s
whirlpool. But the strong swimmer of my
text put out alone to swim a wrathier sea
and for vaster distance, even from world
to world, to save us who wore swamped in
guilt aud woe, and brought us to the shore
of safety, although He at last went down
into the whirlpool descended of human and satauio
rage. "He into helll”
New modes have been invented for res¬
cuing a drowning body, but there has been
no new invention Lionel for rescuing a drowning
soul. In 1785 Lukin, a London
coach builder, fitted up a Norway yawl as
a lifeboat and called it the Insubmergible,
and that has been improved upon until
from all the coasts cf 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 of
Life From Shipwreck, the Royal Na-
tion Lifeboat Institution and oar
United States life saving service
have done a work beyond the power of
statistics to commemorate. What rocket
lines and sling life buoys and tally boards
and mortars and hammocks and cork mat¬
tresses and life saving stations Ailed with
machinery for snving the bodies of the
drowuing! But let me here and now make
it plain that them lias been no new way in¬
vented for the moral and eternal rescue of
a struggling soul Five hundred attempts
at such contrivance have been made, but,
all of them dead failures. Hear ltl’
“There Is none other name under heaven
given among men whereby we must be.
saved" than the name ol Jesus.

(From the Brockton Times, Oct. 10, 1899 )
Bi’ockton’8 prosperity is so closely allied to
the prosperity of the shoe industry that it will,
no doubt, prove a matter of interest to a large
number ot people to learn the actual average
carping capacity of ea< h individual employed
in 'Ute making of the world-famed Brockton
shoie. For illustration : At the factory of tne
W, t,. Douglass Shoe company the pay roll for
th® week ending Sept. 80, excluding superin¬
tendent, foremen, salesmen and all clerical
help, shows the average earnings of the em¬
ployes, largo and small, to be $16.54 per week.
This was not an extraordinary week. It whs
the customary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however, does
not always tell the story of prosperity. The
number of weeks employed each year is tho de-
determing (actor In the wage earner’s prosper¬
ity. The Douglass factory has been closed but
one week this year, and that for the usual sum¬
mer stock takinc, 1»tfcir and It will be closed but
three days the part of December. This
would make but nine days out of the year that
the factory is closed, which is surely as stead \
work as the most Industrious shoemaker could
desire.
Owing to Increased business, another addition
is to be made to the Douginas factory. It will
be 100 feet long, 40 feet wide, and live stories
high. It will be ready for occupancy early in
December. This addition Increases the capacity
25 per cent. The W. L. Douglass Shoe company
has the largest factory in the world, producing
an advertised line $8.50 and $8.00 shoes.
Mr. Douglass says that the prospect for suc¬
cessful business for Brockton manufacturers
w as never so good as now, and that collections
are better than for years.

people there are who think that their

Now, the fact is, glasses require ac¬
tual baths as frequently as does the
ordinary person. The process is a 3

plan, however, Is to take the glasses
to a wash bowl and give them a good
soaking In warm water. Then apply
soap freely and rub It off by the use
of a soft tooth or nail brush. After
that, give them a polish with any of
the usual tooth powders, and then
clean them with tissue paper, which

business.”—Woman’s Life.
