DR. TALMAGE IS ON THE BROAD ATLANTIC 3e Dictates a Sermon on the Text, "For th Tim of My Departure la t UDd" SlcnlÜcDce of the Word "Departure." Brooklyn, Jnne 19. Rev. Dr. Talmage Is now ou tLe Atlantic, having sailed from Xew York on the 15th Inst, for Liverpool for a preachiug tour iu England, Scotland, Ireland and Sweden. Before visiting Sweden Dr. Tal mage will go to Russia, there to witness the reception and disposition of the cargo of breadstuffs on board The Christiau Herald relief steamship Leo, which sailed last week for St. PetersburR. Previous to his departure Le dictated to his stenographer the following farewell sermon, to be read by the vast and widely scattered audiences whom it is his weekly privilege to address through the medium of the newspaper press. He took, his text from II Timothy iv, 6, "The time of my departure is at hand." Departure! That is a word nsed only twice in all the Bible, But it is a word often used in the courtroom, and means the desertion of one course of pleading for anoti er. It Is used in navigation to describe the distance between two meridians passing through, the extremities of a course. It is a word I have recently heard applied to my departure from America to Europe for a preaching tonr to List until September. In a smaller and les significant sene than that implied in the text, I can s:iy. "The time of my departure is at hand." Through the printing press I address this Bermou to my reader all the world over, and when they read it I will be in midocean, and unless s.jmethintr, new happens in my mariDe experiences I will he in no condition to preach. Hut how unimportant the word departure when applied t. xcfcange i f eoi.tiuHits as when applied to exchange of worlds as when Paul wrote, "The time of my departure is at hind." Now departure implies a htartins? place and a place of destination. When Paul left this world, what was the starting point? It wa a scene of great physical distress. It was the Tullianum, the lower dungeon of the MaimTtiue prison. Home, Italy. The top dungeon was bad enough, it having to mrjtiis of ingress or egress, but through an opening In the top. Through that tho prisout-r w.is lowered, ard tliro'iu that came all the f ;od and Air and light received. It was a terrible place, that up;nr dungeon, but the Tulli annul was the lower duugeon, and that was btill more wretched, the only licht and the only t:r coming through tae roof, aud that roof the floor of the nprer dungeon. That was Paul's last earthly residence. I was iu that lower dungeon in November, lsW. It is m.ndi? of vclcanic stone. I measured it, and from wall to wall it was fifteen feet. The highest roof was seven fett from tlie floor, and the lowest roof five feet seven inches. The opening in the roof through which Paul was let down was three feet wide. The dungeon has a seat cf rock two and a half feet high arid a shelf of rock tV feet high. It was there that Paul spelt l:is l.:?t d:iys on earth, and it is there that I see him now, in tho fearful dungeon, shivering, blue with cold, waiting for t hat old overcoat which he had sent for up to Trons, and which they had not yet f-cut down, notwithstanding he had written for it. pacl's iMrnTsootrxT. If some skillful ;;rwnn should go Into that dungeon where Paul is incarcerated, we might And out what are the prospects of Paul's living through the rough imprisonment.. In the first place he is an oil man, only two yejrs short of seventy. At that very time when he most needs the warmth, and the sunlight, and the fresh air. r.e is stmt out irom the sun. na are those scars on his ankles? Why, t hose were gotten when he was fast, his feet in the FtocLs F.very time he turned, the flesh on his ankles started. What are thoe scars cn hi- back? You know he was whipped live t::rr. each t'.rne getting thirty-nine etrokes one hundred and ninetv-tive bruises on the back (count them!) made by the Jews wiih rod. of elm wood, each one of the if hundred aud ninety-live strokes bringing the blood. Look at Paul's face and look at his 1 think it was w li"n he wa- struggling ashore rmid the shivered timK-rs cf the shipwreck. I wee a g.xs'u in Paul's side. Where did he get that? I think he got that i:i the t::sle with highwaymen, for he bad Iwen in peril of robln-rs, and he had money of his own. lie was a m chani: ns we'd a- an apostle, and I think the tents he mad were as good as his erniors. There is a wanness about Paul's looks. What makes that? I think a part of that came from the fact that h- was fur twentyfour huursoü "i plaT'k in the Mediterranean sea, sufli ring terribly, before he was res cued, for he .tys (Hisitively, "I was a night and a day in the deep." Oh, worn out. emaciated old man! surely you must be melancholy; no constitution could endure this anil le cheerful. But I press my way through the prison unt il I come up close to where he is. nn'l by the faint light that streams through the opening I see on his face a supernatural joy, and I bow before him, and I say. "Aged man, how can you keen cheerful amid all this gloom?" His voice startles the darkness of the place as he cries out. "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand." Hark! Wh.d. is that shuffling of feet in the upper dungeon? Why, Paul baa an Invitation to a banquet, and he is going to dine today with the king. Those shuffliDg feet are the feet of the executioners. They come and they cry down through the hole of the dungeon: "Hurry up, old man. Come, now; get yourself ready." Why, Paul was ready. He had nothing to pack no. He had no baggage to take. He had been ready a good while. I see hia rising tip, and straightening- out his stiffened limbs, and pushing back bis white hair from his creviced forehead, and see him looking up through the hole in the roof of the dur.gon info the face of his executioners, and hear Lim say, "I am now ready to be offered, aud the time cf my departure is at hand." Then they lift him out of the dungeon. and they tart with hirn to the place of execution. They say: "Hurry along, old man, or you will feel the weight of our spear. Hurry along." "How far is It," aavs Paul, "we have to travel?" "Three miles." Three miles is a good way for an old man to travel after he Las been whipped and crippled with maltreatment. But they soon " place oi execution Acqun; Salvia and he is fastened to the pillar oi martyrdom. It does not take any atremth to tie him st. He makes no re sistance, . O Paul! why not now strike for your life? You have a great many friends here. With that withered hand just launch the thunderbolt of the people upon those infamous soldiers. No! Paul was not going to interfere with his own coronation. He was too plad to go. I see him looking tip in the face of h' executioner, and, as the grim official draws the sword, Paul calmly says. "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand." Hut I put taj bund over my eyes. I want not to that lat struggle. One sharp, keen stroke, and Paul does go to the banquet, and Paul does dine with the king. What a transition it was! From the malaria of Hosie to the finest climate in all the universe the son of eternal beauty and health. Hit ashes were put in the atacomha of Rome, but in one moment tbt

air of bearea bathed troui bin soul the last ache From shipwreck, from dungeon,

from the biting pain of the elm wood rods. from the sharp sword of the headsman, be goes into the most brilliant assemblage of heaven, a king among kings, multitudes of the sainthood rushing out and stretch ing forth hands of welcome, for I do really think that I s on the right hand of God is Christ, so on the right hand of Christ is Paul, the second great in heaven. IIS CHANGED KINGS. He changed kings likewise. Before the hour of death, and up to the last moment, he was under Nero, the thick necked, the cruel eyed, the filthy lipped, the sculptured features of that man bringing down to us to this very day the horrible possibilities of his nature seated as he was amid pictured marbles of Egypt, under a roof adorned with mother-of-pearl, in a dining room which, by machinery, was kept whirling day and night with most bewitching magnificence, his horses standing in stalls of solid gold, and the grounds around his palace lighted at night by its victims, who had been bedaubed with tar and pitch and then set on fire to illumine the dark neas. That was Paul's king. But the next moment he goes into the realm of him whose reign is love, and whose courts are paved with love, and whose throne is set on pillars of love, and whose scepter is adorned with jewels of love, and whoso palace is lighted with love, and whose lifetime is an eternity of love. When Paul was leaving so much on this side the pillar cf martyrdom to gain so much on the other side, do you wonder at the cheerful valedictory of the text, "The time of my departure is at hand?" Now, why cannot all the old people have the same hol, glee as tLat aged mau had? Charles I, when he was combing his head, found a gray hair, and he sent il to the queen as a great joke, but old age is really no joke at all. For the last forty years you have been dreading that which ought to have been an exhilaration. You say you nio.-;t fear the struggle at the moment the soul and body part. But millions have ensured that moment, and mav not we as weil? They got throujh with it and so can we. Besides this, all melical men agree in eaviu that there is probably no struggle at the last moment not so much pain as the prick of a pin. the seeming tigns of distress being altogether involuntary. But you say. "It is the. uncertainty cf the future." Now, child of God. do not play the inlidel. After Hod ha- filled the Bible till it can hold no more with stories of the good thiniis ahead, better not talk about uncertainties. ut you 5.ir, "I cannot bear to think cf parting from friend here." If you are old, you have more friends in heaven than here. Just teke the census. Take some large sheet of paper and begin to record the name of thi-e who have emigrated to tha ether shore; the companions of your school days, your early business associates, the friends of midlife and those who mere recently went away. Can it be that they have been gone so lng you do not cara anymore n'.out tl.em.nud you do not want their sciety? Oh, no. There have Ken days when you have felt that you could not endure another moment away from their blessed companionship. They have gone. You say you would not like to bring tLe in back to this world of trouble, even if you had the power. It would tot do to trust you. God would not give you resurrection power. Before tomorrow morning you would le rattling at the gates of the cemetery, crying to the departed: '"Come back to the cradle where you slept! Come back to the hall where you us-'d to play! Come back to the table where you used to sit I" And there would Iw a great burglary in heaven. No, no. God will not trust you with resurrection power, but he compromises the matter and say. "You cannot bring them where you are. but you can go where they are." They are more lovely now than ever. Were they beautiful here, they are more beautiful there. A rLA'K OF l:E.irYENATION. Besides that, it is more healthy there for you than here, aged man: l-ettor climaie here than these hot summers and cold winters and late springs; better hearing, bettor eyesight; more tonic in the air; more perfume in the bloom; more sweetness in the sonic. I) you not feel, aged man, pometimes as though you would like to get your arm ami foot free? Do you not feel as though you would like to throw away spectacle and canes and crutches? Would yon not like lo feel the spring and elasticity and mirth of an eternal Imyhood? When the point at which you start from this world is old age, and the point to which you go is eternal juvcTicscence, a red man. clap your himds at the ant icipation, anil say, in perfect rapture of soul, "The time of my departure is at hand." I remark again, all those ought to feel this joy of the text who have a holy curiosity to know what is beyond this earthly terminus. And who has not any curiosity about it? Paul, I suppose, had the most satisfactory view of heaven, and he says, "It doth not yet appear what we shall lie." It is like looking through a broken telescope. "Now we see through a glass darkly." Can you tell me anything alout that heavenly place? You ask me a thousand questions about it that I cannot answer. I ask you a thousand questions about it that you cannot answer. And do you wonder that Paul was so glad when martyrdom gave him a chance to go over and make discoveries in that blessed country? I hope some day, by the grace of God, to go over and see for myself; but not now. No well man. no prospered man, I think, wants to go now. But the time will come, I think, when I shall go over. I want to see what they do there, and I want to see bow they do it. I do not want to be looking through the gates ajar forever. I want them to swing wide open. There are ten thousand things I want explained about you, about mjself. alout the government of this world, about God, about everything. We start in a plain path of what we know, and in a minute come up against a high wall of what we do not know. I wonder how it looks over there. Somebody ;ells me it is like a pared city paved with gold; and another mau tells me it is like a fountain, and it is like a tree, and it is like a triumphal procession; and the next man I meet tells me it is all figurative. I really want to know, after tho body is resurrected, what they wear and what they eat, and I hare an immeasurable curiosity to know what it is, and how it is, and where it is. Columbus risked his life to find this continent, and shall we shudder to go out on a voyage of discovery which shall reveal a vaster and more brilliant country? John Franklin risked his life to find a passage between icebergs, and shall we dread to find a passage to eternal summer? Men in Switzerland travel up the heights of the Matterhorn with alpenstock and guides and rockets and ropes and, getting half way up. stumble and fall down in a horrible massacre. They just wanted to say they bad been on the tops of those high peaks. And shall we fear to go out for the aacentof the eternal hills which start a thousand miles lieyond where stop the highest peaks of the Alps, when in that ascent there is no peril? A man doomed to die stepped on the scaffold and said in joy, "Now, in ten minutes I will know the great secret." One minute after the Tital function ceased the little child that died last night knew more than Jonathan Edwards, or St. Paul himself, before Le died. Friends, the exit from this world, or death, if you please to call it. to the Christian is glorious explanation. It is demonstration. It Is illumination. It is sunburst. It is the opening of all the windows. It Is shutting up the catechism of . doubt and the unrolling of all the scrolls of positive and accurate information. Instead of standing at the foot of the ladder and looking up, It I standing at the top of the ladder and look

ing down, it is tne last mystery taken out of botany and geology and astronomy and theology. Ob, will it not be grand to bare all questions answered? The perpetually recurring interrogation point changed for the mark of exclamation. All riddles solved. Who will fear to go out on that discovery when all the questions are to be decided which we have been discussing all our lives? Who shall not clap his hands in the anticipation of that blessed country, if It be no better than through holy curiosity crying, "The time of my departure is at hand?" I remark again we ought to have the joy of the text, because, leaving this world, we move into the lest society of the univere. You see a great crowd of people in some street, and you say: "Who is passing there? What general, what prince is going up there?" Well, I see a great throng in heaven. I ssy: "Who is the focus of all that admiration? Who is the center of that glittering company?" It is Jesus, the champion of all worlds, the favorite of all ages. Do you know what is the first question the soul will ask when it comes through the gate of heaven? I think the first question will be, "Where is Jesus, the Saviour that pardoned my siu; that carried my sorrows; that fought my battles; that won my victories?" 0 radiant one! how I would like to see thee! thou of the manger, but without its humiiiu.1 ions; thou of the cross, but without its pangs; thou of the grave, but without its darkness. TALK WITH J1SUS. The Bible intimates that we will talk with Jesus in heaven just as a brother talks with a brother. Now what will you ask him first? I do not know. Icanthink what I would ask Paul first if I saw him in heaven. I think 1 would like to hear him describe the storm that came upon the ship when there were two hundred and seventy-five souls on the vessel, Paul being the only man on toard cool enough to describe the storm. There is a fascination about a ship and the sea that I never shall get over, and I think I would like to hear him talk about that first. But when I meet my Ixird Jesus Christ, of what shall I first delight to hear him ppeak? Now I think what it is. I shall first want to hear the tragedy of his last hours, and then Luke's account of the crucifixion, and Mark's account of the crucifixion, jijjfl John's account of the crucifixion will be nothing, while from tho living lips of Christ the story shall le told of the gloom that fell, and the devils that arose, and the fact that upon his endurance depended the rescue of a race, and there was darkness iu the sky, and there was darkness iu tho soul, and the pain became more sharp, and tho burdens lecame more heavy, until the mob began to swim away from the dying vision of Christ, ard the curbing of the mob came to his ears more faintly, and his hands were fastened to the horizontal piece cf the cross, and his feet were fastened to the perpendicular piece of the cross, and his head fell forward in a swoon as he uttered the last moan and cried, "It is finishd!" All Leaven will stop to listen until the story is done, and tvery harp will be put dov. n, and every li; closed, and all eyes fixed upon the divine narrator uutil the story is done; and then, at the tap of the baton, the eternal orchestra will rouse up; linger on string of harp, and lips to the mouth of trumpet, there shall roll for'Jj

the oratorio of the Messiah, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive bless ing and riches and honor and glory and power, world without end! What he endured, oh, who ran tell, To save onr souls from death and hell! When there was between Paul and that magnificent Personage only the thinners of the sharp edge of the sword of the execu tioner, do you wonder that he wanted to go? O my .ord Jesus, let one wave of that glory roll over us! Hark! I Lear the wedding lells of heaven ringing now. The marriage of the Lamb has come, and the bride hath made herself ready. And now for a little w bile good by 1 I have no morbid feelings about the future. But If any thing should happen that we never meet again in this world, let us meet where there are no partings. Our friendships have been delightful on earth, but they will be more delightful in heaven. And now I commend you to (Jod and the word of his grace, which is able to build us up and give us an inheritance amon all them that are sanctified. Why They Go to the Seaside.

LESSON XIII, SECOND QUARTER, IN TERNATIONAL SERIES, JUNE 26. ext of the Lesson, rs.lxxll, 1-1 Memory Verne, 7, 8 OotUen Text. P. lxxll, 11 Commentary by the Kct. D. M. Stearns. 1. "Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son." A psalm icnned by a king, dedi cated to a king and concerning the king of kings. Solomon was a type of Christ in wisdom and in the peace and prosierity of bis kingdom. No man can be a type of Christ a to His character, but only aa to office. Christ is king and king's son, divine and human, and all judgment is given to Him (John v, 22). 2. "He shall ' judge thy pePle righteousnesss, and thy poor witn judg ment." Compare Isa. xl, 4, 5; xxxu, l, it. When Jesus shall be king over all the earth, the righteous branch of David reigning and prospering, executing judgment 8nd justice in the earth, in the days or Israel's restoration, then shall all without exception enjoy the full benefits of equitable judgment and righteousness (Zach. xiv, 0; .Ter. xxiii. 5, 0). 8. "The mountains shall bring peace to the people nnd the little hills by righteousness." Compare Isa. xl, 4, 5; lv, 12. Peace and righteousness shall abound, and things that formerly brought terror and dismay shall be subdued nnd be employed in the service of the king. 4. "He shall judge the poor or tne peo ple. He shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. t..onirasi tne oppression oi tue poor in Amos 11. o; nil, c; v, it, ana tua time of the kingdom when the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundauce of peace (Ps. xxxvii. 11; Math, v, ."). 5. "Thev shall fear The as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations." In Jer. xxxl. 35, aC; xxxiii, 20, 21, the references ar very plain to the res toration of Israel and her continuance as a nation while sun and moon endure. 6. "He shall comn down like rain upon the mown grass, h showers that water the earth." Compare II Sam. xxiii, 4; JIos. vi, S, and notice iu each passrure the reference to the inoruinfc the morning without clouds, the morning wnea He will help Israel (Ps. xl vi, 5, margin). All Gospel blessing now is but a foretaste of the fullness of blessing when 3esus hall come to the church as the Morning Star nnd to Lsrael as the Pun of Righteousness (Itev. xxii, 16; Jdal. iv, 2). 7. "In His days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace so long as the moon eudureth." He will be the true Melchixedek, who will be both King of Righteousness and King of Peuce, The Saviour teadies us that in this present world, instead of flourishing, we must ex pect hatred und persecution and trial; and 60 also teach the apooiies by the fpint (John xv, 1S-20; xvi, 1, 2; Jus. i, 12; lie v. ii, 10; II Tim. iii, 12). 8. "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea. andfrorn the river nnto the ends of the earth." Solomon's kingdom embraced all the Lind of promise (I Kings iv, 21, 24); the true Sou of David shall have dominion ever all the earth (Dau. vii. 13, 14; Rev. xi. 15; Num. xiv, 21; Isa. xi, 9; Hab. il, 14). His body, the church, shall reign with Him (Rev. iii, 21; v, Ö, 10). 0. "They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Ilim, and His enemies ehall lick the dust." It is only at His second coming in iower and glory that Ho f-hall smite His enemies, when He shall re turn bruiting His saints with mm (I Thess. iii, 13; Col. iii. 4; 7-ech xiv, S, 4; Kev. xix, 11, 15). There-can be no king dom till the King returns (Luke xix, 11, 13). 10. "Tho kings of Tarshish nnd of the isles shall bring presents; the kings of SLcba and Seba shall offer gifts." The mst distant and the most opulent seem to be represented here, while the previous verse suggests the most uncivilized. The visit of the queen of Sheba to Solomon and of the wise men of the east to the child Jesus are suggestive of the time when the glory of the lxml having risen upon Israel the Gentiles shall come to her light and kings to the brightness of her rising (Isa. lx, 1-1). 11. "Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall servo Him." Com pare Ps. Ixxxvi, SI. That this shall be when He 13 king of the Jews is evident from Isa. lx, 12, where it is written that the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee (Israel, see context) shall perish. It is the literal Israel, truly converted, that is to blossom and bud and fill the face of the earth with fruit (Isa. xxvi, o). 12. "For He shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the ioor also and him that hath no helper." Compare Isa. xli, 17, 18. All His relief, both physical and spiritual, which he brought to the poor and needy when He was here in humiliation, was but a sample of the fullness of blessing that shall be when the kingdom comes. 13. "Be shall spare the ixor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy." See Jer. xxxix. 10; Zeph. iii, 12, as aforeshadowing of these good times. The rich control things now, but it ahallnotbeso in the days of His kingdom. 14. "He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence, and precious shall their blood 1 in His sight." They may lay down their lives for His sake, but He will receive their souls and in due time redeem their bodies. Deceit and violence shall end when He comes. 15. "And He shall live, and to nira shall be given of the gold of Sheba; prayer also shall be made for Him continually, aud daily shall He be praised." He was dead, but is alive forever more (Rev. i, IS). The church seems to have hard work to raise money to carry on her work, but in kingdom days wealth shall pour in from all quarters (Ish. lx, 5, 11, It. V). 16. "There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like liebanon, and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth." There shall be great results from apparently small causes. "A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation; I the Lord will hasten it in his time (Isa. lx, 17. "His name shall endure forever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun, and men shall be blessed in Him; all nations shall call Him blessed." See Acts iii. 16; iv, 10, 12, 30; ix, 15, 1; x. 43. 18. "Blessed lie the Iord (Jod, the Ood of Israel, who only doth wondrous things." Compare Ex. xv, 11; Jer. x, C, 7, 10. IV. "And blessed be His glorious name forever, and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen ami amen." The ' five books of the Psalter end with xli, M; lxxii, IS); lxxxix.M; cvi,48;cl,(i. It is worth while to ccmpare the close of each liook. The promises that the whole earth shall I filled with His glory are found in Num. xiv, 21; Isa. xi, S; Hab. ii, 14. They should iasoire us to work mightily to hastcu it. The Caoae. . Strawber I supjose you will be surprised to bear that my engagement is broken off. Singerly Really!
