THE NET IS SPREAD-

Bin is tlie Garlan^ed, Robed and -Trinketed Daughter ot Hell.

Her Voice a Warble, Her Cheek a Setting Sun—Rev. Dr. Talmage's Sunday Sermon.

Rev. Di*. Talmage preached at Ann Arbor, Mich., Sunday. Text, Pro v. i., 17. He said:

The call bird of sin tempts men on from branch to branch until they are about to drop into the net. If a man finds out in time that it is the temptation of the devil, or that evil men are attempting to capture his soul for time and for eternity, the man steps back. He says- 'I am not to be caught in that way I see what you are about surely in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird."

Thgfe are two classes of temptations—the superficial and the subterraneous—those above ground, those under ground. If a man could see sin as it is, he would no more embrace it than he would a leper. Sin is a daughter of hell, yet she is garlanded and robed and trinketed. Her voice is a warble. Her cheek is the setting sun. Her forehead is an aurora. She says to men: ''Come, walk this path with me it is thym'ed and primrosed, and the air is bewitched with the odors of the hanging gardens of heaven the rivers are rivers of wine, and all you have to do is to drink them up in chalics that sparkle with diamond and amethyst and chrysoprasus. See! It is all bloom and roseate cloud and heaven." Ohi my friends, if for one moment the choiring of all these concerted voices of sin could be hushed, we should see the orchestra of the pit with hot breath blowing' through fiery flute, and the skeleton arms on drums of thunder and darkness beating the chorus: "The end thereof Is death."

I want to point out the insidious temptations that are assailing more especially our young men. The only kind of" nature comparatively free from temptation, so far as I can judge, is the cold, hard, stingy, mean temperament. What would Satan do with such a man if he got him? Satan is not anxious to get a man who, after awhile may dispute with him the realm of everlasting meanness. It is the generous young man. the ardent young man. the social young man. that is in especial peril.

A young man, empty of head, empty, of heart, empty of life—you want no Young Men's Christian Association to keep him safe he is safe. He will not gamble unless it is somebody else's stakes. He will not break the Sabbath unless somebody else pays the horse hire. He will not drink unless someone else treats him. He will hang around the bar hour after hour waiting for some generous young man to cotne in. The generous young man comes in and accosts him and says: "'Well, will you have a drink with me today?" The man, as though it were a sudden thing for him, says: "Well, well, if you insist on it I will—Iwill."

To mean to go to perdition unless somebody else pays his expenses? For such young men wc will not fight. We would no more contend for them than Tartary and Ethiopia would fight as to who .should have the great Sahara Desert but for those young uu:n who are buoyant and enthusiastic, those who are determined to do something for time and eternity, we will fight,and we now declare everlasting war against all the influences that assail them, and we ask all good men, all philanthropists to wheel into line, and all the armies of heaven to bear down upon the foe, and we pray Almighty God that with the thunderbolts of His wrath He will strike down and consume all these influences that are attempting to destroy the young men for whom Christ died.

The first class of temptations that assaults a young man is led on by the skeptic. He will not admit that he is an inliel or atheist. Oh, no! He is a "free thinker he is one of your "liberal" men he is free and easy in religion. Oh, how liberal he is. He is so liberal that he will give away his Bible he is so liberal that he will give away the throne of justice he is so liberal that he would be willing to give God out of the universe he is so liberal that he would give up his own soul and the souls of his friends. Now what more could you ask in the way of liberality? The victim of the skeptic has probably just come from the country. Through the intervention of friends he has been placed in a shop. On Saturday the skeptic says to him, "Well, what are you going to do to-morrow?" He says, "lam going to church." "Is it possible?" says the skeptic. "Well, I used to do such things. I was brought up, as I suppose you were, in a i-eligious family, and I believed all those things, but I got over it."

Thousands of young men are going down under that process day by day, and there is only here and there a young man who can endure this artillery of scorn. They are giving up their Bibles. The light of native! They have the light of nature i*. China they have it in Hindostan they have it in Ceylon. Flowers there, stars' there, waters there, winds there but no civilization, no homes, no happiness. Lancets to cut, and juggernauts to fall under, and hooks to swing on, but no happiness. I tell you, my -young.brother, we have to take a religion of some kind.

Wc have to choose between four live. Shall it be the Koran c' tne Mohammedans, or the Shaster

wlV^ir .^i^5Vt¥ IfJV

t: t»

Hindoo, or the Zend-Avesta c* iN Persian, or th«f Coblucian writing c-r the Chifttie. or the Hoi?

Scric'tcves?

Take what you will God helping me, I will take the Bible. Light for alf darkness rock for all foundation balm for all wounds. A glory thai lifts its pillars of fire over tiie Wilderness march. Do not give up your Bible. If these people scoli' at you as though religion and the Bible were fit only for weak-minded people, just tell them you are not ashamed'to be in the -company of Burke the statesman, and Rapiiael the pointer, and Thorwaldsen the sculptor, and Mozart the musician, and Blackstone the lawyer, and Bacon the philosopher, and Harvey the physician, and John Milton the poet.

Ask them what infidelity has ever done to lift the 140,000,000 of the race out of barbarism. Ask them when infidelity ever instituted a sanitary commission and, before you lea've their society once and forever, tell them that they have insulted the memor}' of your Christian father,and spit upon the death-bed of your mother, and with swiue's snout rooted up the grave of your sister who died believing in the Lord Jesus.

Young man, hold on to your Bible. It is the best book you ever owned. It will tell you how to dress, how to bargain, how to walk, how to act, how to live, how to die. Glorious Bible! whether on parchment or paper, in octavo or duodecimo, on the ceriter table of the drawing room or in the counting room of the banker. Glorious Bible! Light to our feet and lamp to our path. Hold on to it!

The second class of insidious temptations that comes upon our young men is led on by the dishonest employer. Every commercial establishment i§ a school. In nine cases out of ten, the principles of the employer become the principles of the employe. I ask the older merchants to bear me out in these statements. If, when you were just starting in life, in commercial life, you were told that honesty was not marketable, that though you might sell all the goods in the shop, you must not sell your conscience, that while you were to exercise industry and tact, you were not to sell your conscience—if you were taught that gains gotten by sin were combusti ble, and at the moment of ignition would be blown on by the breath of God until all the splendid estate would vanish into white ashes scattered in the whirlwind—then that instruction has been to you a precaution and a help ever since. There are hundreds of commercial establishments in our great cities which are educating a class of young men who will be the honor of the land, and there are other establishments which are educating young men to be nothing but sharpers. What chance is there for a young man who was taught in au establishment that it is right to lie, if it is smart, and that a French label is all that is necessary to make a thing French, and that you ought always to be honest when it pays, and that it is wrong to steal unless you do it well? Suppose, now, a young man just starting in life enters a place of that kind where there are ten young men. all drilled in the infamous practices of the establishment. He is ready to be taught. The young man has no theory of commercial ethics. Where is he to get his theory? He will get the theory from his employers. One day he pushes his wit a little beyond what the establishment demands of him, and he fleeces a customer until the clerk is on the verge of being seized by the law. What is done in the establishment? He is not arraigned, l^he head of the establishmentsay to him: "Now,be careful be careful, young man. You might bf^ caught but really that was splendidly done: you will get along in the world, I warrant you." Then that young man goes up until he becomes head clerk. He has found there is a premium on iniquity.

One morning the employer comes to the establishment. He goes into his counting room and throws up his hands, and shouts: "Why, the safe has been robbed!" What is the matter? Nothing, nothing only the clerk who has been practicing a good while on customers is practicing a little on the employer. No new principle introduced into that establishment. It is a poor rule that does not work both ways. You must never steal unless you can do it well. He did it well, am not talking an abstraction I am talking a terrible and a crushing fact..

I stand before young men this morning who are under this pressure. I say corue out of it. "Oh," you say "I can't. I ave a widowed mother to support, and if a man loses a situation now he can't get another one." I say come out of it. Go home to your mother and say to her, "Mother, I can't stay in that shop and be upright what shall I do?" and if she Is worthy of you she will say. "Come out oi' it, my son—we will just throw ourselves on Him who has promised to be the God oi* the widow aud the fatherless: He will take care of us." And I will i^il you no young man ever permanently suffered by such a course of conduce.

O! Christian workers, my hsart is high with hope. The dark horizon is blooming into the morning of which prophets spoke, and of which posts have dreamed, and of which painters have sketched. The world's bridal hoyrs advances. The mountains \riil kiss the morning radiant and etfulgent., and all the waves of the sea will become the crystal keys of a great organ, on whinh the fingers of everlasting joy shall play the grand inarch of a world redeemed, lustefld of the thorn there shall come ib thm fir tree, inC instead of tha Viar there shall
