JONAH'S PERVERSITY

MORAL LESSONS OF THE MEMORABLE JOURNEY TO TARSHISH.

Dr. IkhnaRC Preaches an Interesting Sermon on the Waywardness of Man, the Delusions of Iaife and the Wages of Sin.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—At this season of the year, when a large portion of the community is journeying either by laud or sea, Rev. Dr. Talmage, wfto is still absent on his midsummer preaching and lecturing tour, has chosen as the subject of his sermon for today, "Man Overboard," the text being Jonah i, 6: "So the shipmaster onme to him anrt said unto him: What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not."

God told Jonah to go to Nineveh on an unpleasant errand. He would not go. He thought to get away from his duty by putting to sea. With pack under his lum I find him on his way to Joppa, a seaport. He goes down among the shipping and says to the men lying around on the docks, "Which of these vessels sails today?" The sailors answer, "Yonder is a vessel going to Tarshish. I think if you hurry you may get on board her.'' Jonah steps on board the rough craft, asks how much the fare is, and pays it. Anchor is weighed, sails are hoisted, and the rigging begins to rattle in the strong- breeze of the Mediterranean. Joppa is an exposed harbor, and it does not take long for the vessel to get on the broad sea. The sailors like \ahat.they call a "spanking breeze," and the plunge of the vessel from the crest of a tall wave is exhilarating to those at home on the deep. But the strong breeze becomes a gale, the gale a hurricane. The affrighted passengers ask the captain if he ever saw anything like this befora "Oh, yes," he says. "This is nothing. Mariners are slow to admit danger to landsmen.. But after awhile crash goes the mast, and the vessel pitches so far abeam's end" there is a fear she will not be righted. The captain answers few questions, and orders the throwing out of boxes and bundles and of so much of the cargo as they can get at The captain at last confesses there is but little hope and tells the passengers that they had better go to praying. It is seldom that a sea captain is an atheist. He knows that there is a God, for he has seen him at every point of latitude between Sandy Hook and •Queenstown. Captain Moody,commanding the Cuba of the Cunard line, at Sunday service led the music and sang lfee a Methodist. The captain of this Mediterranean craft, having set the passengers to praying, goes around examining the vessel at every point. He descends into the cabin to see whether in the -Strong wrestling of the waves the vessel had sprung aleak, and he finds Jonah asleep. Jonah had had a wearisome tramp and had spent many sleepless nights about questions of duty, and he is so sound asleep that all the thunder of the storm and the screaming of the passengers does not disturb him. The captain lays hold of hinl and begins to •shake him out of his unconsciousness with the cry: "Don't you see that we are all going to the bottom? Wake up and go to praying if you have any God to go to. What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not." The rest of the story I will not rehearse, for you know it well. To appease the sea they threw Jonah overboard.

Learn that the devil takes a man's money and then sets him down in a poor landing place. The Bible says he paid his fare to Tarshish. But see him get out. The sailors bring him to the side of the ship, lift him over the guards and let him drop with a loud splash into the waves. He paid his fare all the way to Tarshish, but did not get the worth of his money. Neither does any one who turns his back on his duty and does that which is not right.

The Rewards of Dissipation.

There is a young man who during the past year has spent a large part of his salary in carousal. What has he gained by it? A soiled reputation, a half starved purse, a dissipated look, a petulant temper, a disturbed conscience. The manacles of one or two bad habits that are pressing tighter and tighter will keep on until they wear to the bone. •. -You paid your fare to Tarshish, but you have been set down in the midst of a sea of disquietude and perplexity.

Here is a literary man tired of the faith of his father^ who resolves to launch out into what is called freethinking. He buys Theodore Parker's works for $12, Renan's "Life of Christ" for •1. 50, Andrew Jaokson Davis' works for $20. Goes to hear infidels talk at the clubs and to see spiritualism at the table lapping. Talks glibly of David, the psalmist, as an old libertine, of Paul as a wild enthusiast and of Christ as a decent kind of a man, a little weak in Mme respects, but almost as good as tliimself. Talks smilingly of Sunday as a good day to put a little extra blacking on 000*8 hoots and of Christians as, for 4he most part, hypocrites and of eternity ••"thegreat to be," "theeverlasting jsiow" or "the infinite what is it"

It is quite certain who will get his property. But what will become of his soul? It will go into "the great to be," or "the everlasting now," or "the infinite what is it" His soul is in deep waters, and the wind is "blowing great guns." Death cries, "Overboard with the unbeliever!" A splash. He goes to the bottom. He paid $5 for his ticket to Tarshish when he bought the infidel books. He landed in perdition.

Satan's Swindles.

Every farthing you spend in sin satan will swindle you out of. He promises you shall have 80 per cent or a great dividend. He lies. He will sink all the capitaL You may pay full fare to some sinful success, but yoti will never get to Tarshish.

Learn how soundly men will sleep in the midst of danger. The worst sinner on shipboard, considering the light he had, was Jonah. He was a member of the church, while they were heathen. The sailors were engaged in their lawful calling, following the sea. The merchants on board, I suppose, were going down to Tarshish to barter, but Jonah, notwithstanding his Christian profession, was flying from duty. He was sound asleep in the cabin. He has been motionless for hcfarsj—his arms' arid fieet in the same postufe as when lie lay down—his breast Leaving with deep respiration. Oh, how could he sleep! What if the ship struck a rock? What if it sprang aleak? What if the clumsy oriental craft should capsize? What would become of Jonah?

So men sleep soundly now amid perils infinita In almost every place, I suppose, the Mediterranean might be sounded, but no line is long enough to fathom the profound beneath every impenitent man. Plunging a thousand fathoms down, you cannot touch bottom. Eternity beneath him, before him, around him! Rocks close by and whirlpools and hot breathed Levanters. Yet sound asleep! We try to wake him up, but fail The great surges of warning break over the hurricane deck, the gong of warning sounds through the cabin, the bells rings. "Awake!" cry a hundred voices. Yet sound asleep in the cabin.

In the year 1775 the captain of a Greenland whaling vessel found himself at night surrounded by icebergs and "lay to" until morning, expecting every moment to be ground to pieces. In the morning he looked about and saw a ship near by. He hailed it No answer. Getting into a boat with some of the crew, he pushed out for the mysterious craft Getting near by, he saw through the porthole a man at a stand, as though keeping a logbook. He hailed him. No answer. He went on board the vessel and found the man sitting at the logbook, frozen to death. The logbook was dated 1762, showing that the vessel had been wandering for 10 years among the ice. The sailors were found frozen among the hammocks, and others in the cabin. For 13 years this ship had been carrying its burden of corpses.

So from this gospel craft today I descry voyagers for eternity. I cry: ''Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!" No answer. They float about, tossed and ground by the icebergs of sin, hoisting no sail for heaven. I go on board. I find all asleep. It is a frozen sleep. Oh, that my Lord Jesus would come aboard and lay hold of the wheel and steer the craft down into the warm gulf stream of his mercy! Awake, thou that sleepest! Arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee life.

Again, notice that men are aroused by the most unexpected means. If Jonah had been told one year before that a heathen sea captain would ever awaken him to a sense of danger, he would have scoffed at the idea, but here it is done. So now men in strangest ways are aroused from spiritual stupor. A profane man is brought to conviction by the shocking blasphemy of a comrade. A man attending church and hearing a sermon from the text, "The ox krioweth his owner," etc., goes home impressed, but, crossing his barnyard, an ox come up and licks his hand, and he says: "There it is now. 'The ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib,' but I do not know God." The careless remark of a teamster has led a man to thoughtfulness and heaven. The child's remark: "Father, they have prayers at uncle's house. Why don't we have them?" has brought salvation to the dwelling.

By strangest ways and in the most unexpeoted manner men are awakened. The gardener of the Countess of Huntingdon was convicted of sin by h'earing the countess on the opposite side of the wall talk about Jesus. John Hardoak was aroused by a dream, in which he saw the last day, and the judge sitting, and heard his Own name called with terrible emphasis, '"John Hardoak, come to judgment f'' The Lord has a thousand ways of waking up Jonah. Would that the messengers of mercy might now find their way down into the sides of the Ship, and that many who are unconsciously rocking in the awful tempest of their sin might hear the warning: "What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise and call upon thy God 1"

Awake Too Late.

Again: Learn that a man may wake up too late. If, instead of sleeping, Jonah had been on his knees confessing his sins from the time he went on board the craft, I think that God would have eared him from being thrown overboard. But he woke up too lato The tempest is in fpll blast, and the sea, In convulsion, is lashing itself, and nothing Will stop it now but the overthrow of Jonah. men sometimes wake np too lata.

die," he says, "yet not ready. I must posh out upon this awful sea, but have nothing with which to pay my fare. The white caps! The darkness! The hurricane! How long have I becm sleeping? Whole days and months and years. I am quite aW&ke now. I see everything, but it is too lfite.'' Invisible hands take him up. He struggles to gfet loose. In vain. They bring his soul to the verge. They let it down over the side. The winds howl. The sea opens its frothing jaws to swallow. He has gone forever. And while the canvas cracked, and the yards rattled, and the ropes thumped, the sea took up the funeral dirge, playing with open diapason of midnight storm, "Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded, but ye have set at naught all my counsel and would none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh."

Now, lest any of you should make this mistake,I address you in the words ©f the Mediterranean sea captain: "What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upou us, that we perish not" If you have a God, you had better call upon him. Do you say, "I have no God?" Then you had better call upon your father's God. When your father was in trouble, whom did he fly to? You heard him in his old days tell about some terrible exposure in a snowstorm, or at sea, cr in battle, or among midnight garroters, and how he escaped. Perhaps 20 years before you were born your father made sweet acquaintance with God. There is something in the Worn pages-of the Bible he used to read which makes you think your father had a God. In the old religious books lying around the house, here are passages marked with a lead pencil—passages that make you think your father was not a godless man, but that, on that dark day when he lay in the back room dying he was ready—all ready. But perhaps your father was a bad man— prayerless and a blasphemer—and you never think of him now without a shudder. He worshiped the world or his own appetites. Do not then, I beg of you, call upon your father's God, but call on your mother's God. I think she was good. You remember when your father came home drunk late on a cold night, how patient your mother was. You often heard her pray. She used to sit by the hour meditating as though she were thinking of some good, warm place, where it never gets cold, and Where the bread does not fail, and staggering steps never come. You remember her now as she sat in cap and spectacles reading her Bible Sunday afternoon. What good advice she used to give you! How black and terrible the hole in the ground looked to you when with two ropes they let her down to rest in the graveyard! Ah, I think from your looks tliat I am on the right track. Awake, O sleeper, and call upon thy mother's God.

But perhaps both your father and mother were depraved. Perhaps your cradle was rocked by sin and shame, and it is a wonder that from such a starting you have come to respectability. Then don't call upon the God of either of your parents, I beg of you.

The God of Thy Children.

But you have children. You know God kindled those bright eyes and rounded these healthy limbs and set beating within their breast an immortality. Perhaps in the belief that somehow it would be for the best you have taught them to say an evening prayer, and when they kneel beside you and fold their little hands and look up, their faces all innocence and love, you know that there is a God somewhere about in the room.

I think I am on the right track at last Awake, O sleeper, and call upon the God of thy children! May he set these little ones to pulling at thy heart until they charm thee to the same God to whom tonight they will say their little prayers!

But, alas, alas, some of these men and women are unmoved by the fact that their father had a God, that their mother had a God, and their children have a God, but they have no God. All the divine goodness for nothing. All warning for nothing. They are sound asleep in the side of the ship, though the sea and sky are in mad wrestle.

Many years ago a man, leaving his family in Massachusetts, sailed from Boston to China to trade there. On the coast of China in the midst of a night of storm he made shipwreck. The adventurer was washed up on the beach seu.-e-less—all his money gone. He had to beg in the Streets of Canton to keep from starving. For two years there was no commutkication between, himself and family. They supposed him dead. He knew not but that his family were dead. He had gone out as a captain. He was too proud to come back as a private sailor. But after awhile he cnoked down his pride and sailed for Boston. Arriving there, he took an evening train for the center of the state, where he had left his family. Taking the stage from the depot and riding a score of miles, he got home. He says that, going up in front of the cottage in the bright moonlight, the place looked to him like heaven. He rapped on the window, and the affrighted servant let him in. He went to the room where his wife and child were sleeping. He did not dare to wake them for fear of the shock. Bending over to kiss his child's cheek, a teat fell upon the Wife's face, and she wakened, and he said, "Mary!" and she knew his voice, and there was an indescribable scene of welcome and joy and thanksgiving to God.

Today I knoW that many of you are sea tossed and driven by sin in a worse storm than that which came down on the coast of. China, and yet I pray God that yon may, like the sailor, live to get home. In the house of many mansions your friends are waiting to meet yon. They are wondering why you do not oome. Escaped from the shipwrecks of earth, may you at last go in!

door. Owe in you will find the old family faces sweeter than when you last saw them, and there it will be found that he who was your father's God, and your mother's God, and your children's Gody is your own most felfcsed Redeemer, t6 i&hom be glory and dominion throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Earthy Substances In Food.

When we consider the amount of earthy or inorganic susbtances, including some of metallic origin, that we are in the habit of taking with our foods, it •may be a question whether the eating and drinking habits of our most enlightened people are not open to criticism.

The Pacific Health Journal says that it is a well known fact that the habitual use of limestone and other mineral waters will cause goiter. The mineral products cannot be absorbed into the fluids of the body and thrown out. They are therefore deposited in the glandular system, giving rise to disease of these organs. And yet are not mineral waters extolled to the skies? And (Jo not our invalids rush to the "mineral springs" all over the country, expecting to be healed? You could not persuade these people that pure water would answer just as well—in fact, better—though certain celebrated springs, the waters of which, as shown by chemical analysis, are entirely free from any foreign ingredient, have given most wonderful results.

One effect of the use of mineral or earthy substances in food or drink is to break down the kidneys. The habitual use of bicarbonate of soda in bread, pastries, etc., is no doubt injurious. But how many are willing to give up their hot biscuits at breakfast or their batter cakes, though very palatable bread can be made, and also light, with nothing in it but air and water?

Coal Gas In Navigation.

The efficiency of coal gas in practical navigation has been demonstrated, according to accounts of recent trials at Havre, and French capitalists are reported as having taken the matter in hand with a view to its thorough development In the late trials made by the promoter an iron boat of some 350 tons was employed, a vertical gas motor of 40 horsepower furnishing the power, coal gas compressed to a pressure of 1,400 pounds per square inch being stored in steel tubes placed between decks, and a regulator, situated between the gas reservoir, and the motor, to reduce the pressure of the gas entering the motor to the flow ordinarily required.

Public trials of the craft show that the officer in charge has her in complete control, changing with ease her course, also slackening or increasing the rate of speed and stopping or even going backward almost instantaneously by the use of the reversible screw. Though the cost of power by this system will, as claimed, be more economical than any other, the chief saving will be effected by the comparatively small room required for the motor, and the fact is noted as remarkable that pure coal gas, compressed to a pressure as high as 2,000 pounds per square inch, does not show an appreciable condensation.

A Girl Soldier In Caba.

A little romance is recounted in connection with the battle of Des Rios. In the heat of the battle a bugler of Sandoval's regiment was seriously cut over the head and shoulders with a machete in the hands of one of the attacking rebel officers. The bugler, a handsome young man of a decidedly feminine appearance, enrolled as Miguel Orbaneia Tarres, it appears, is a young girL Thinking her wound mortal, she confessed her secret to a fellow soldier after the battle.

She had enlisted in Spain as a volunteer for service in Cuba, in order to accompany her affianced, whose name had been drawn for one of the first expeditions brought out from the peninsula three months ago. In the company the two passed as brothers. The lover had been killed a few weeks before the battle of Dos Rios in a skirmish at Hatillo, near St. Luis. She had taken the death of her supposed brother but real lover very hard indeed, but until the day she herself was wounded had never disclosed their real relations to any one.—New York Herald.

A Soldier's Gold Medal Found. A gold medal has been found on the farm of Dr. Gustavus Brown, Dickerson Station, Md., which would seem to have been lost while McClellan's army was encamped at that place in 1862. Some laborers engaged in digging post holes unearthed it about 18 inches below the surface. It is about' the size of a £10 goldpiece. On one side is a vignette of General McClellan, encircled by the letters of his name. On the reverse si de, standing out plainly and distinctly, r.ppeaifl the name gf "Franklin G. Pulisiphor, Company I, Twelfth Vermont Volunteers." The medal is in the possession of Mr. Jamison, the superintendent of ti farm. Dickerson Station is on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, 30 miles from Washington.—Washington Post

Pope Leo's Instructions.

When investigating the Vatican records, Pope Leo XIII said to Dom Gasquet, the librarian, "Publish everything of interest everything, whether it tends to the discredit or credit of the ecclesiastical authorities, for you may be sure that if the gospels had been written in our day the treachery of Judas and the denial of St. Peter would have been suppressed fen: fear of scandalizing weak consciences." So Lord Halifax told the English church union the other day.
