TA LMAG E The Eminent Divine’* Sunday Discourse. • abject: Day Hold of Christ—'The Help¬ fulness of l?i iijgton In Flfflitlnjj Life’# Battle~Be Bold For the Klght aud STrust in tlie Son of God. [Copyright, Bonin Klopsch. 189JM 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 to 4 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 gee gut uii}>: irdonoii&ibs as God sees tliem, our aeeth would shatter and our knees would knock together, ami our respiration woulj would bo choked, and our heart break. If your slus are unforgiven, tbejr are bearing down on you, and yon nre ^ESS'SE.’ blessed. 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 There Independent, self-reliant, when able to go spring aloue. 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.

(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.
