The fallowing discourse was delivered In the Brooklyn tabernacle by Rev. T. De Witt Talmagc, from the text: Launch oat into the deep.—Luke v., 4. Christ, starting on the campaign of the world’s conquest, was selecting |tls staff officers. There were plenty of students with high foreheads, and white hands and intelligent faces, and refined tastes, in Rome and Jerusalem. Christ might have called into tho apostleship twelve book-worms, or twelve rhetorioiana, or twelve artists. Instead he takes a group of men who had never made a speech, never taken a lesson in belles-letters, never been sick enough to make them look delicate— their hands broad, clumsy and hardknuckled. He choso fishermen, among other reasons, I think, because they were physically hardy. Rowing makes strong arms and stout chests. Much climbing of ratlines makes one’s head steady. A Galilee tempest wrestled men into gymnasts. The opening work of the church was rough work. Christ did not want twelve invalids hanging about Him, complaining all the time how badly they felt, ne leaves the delicate students at Jerusalem and Rome for their mothers and aunts to care for, and goes down to the sea shore, and out of the toughest material makes an apostleship. The ministry need more corporeal vigor than any other class. Fino minds and good Intentions are important, but tljero must be physioal force to back them. The intellectual mill-wheel may be well bulltnnd the grist good, but there must be enough blood in the mill-race to turn the one to grind the other. He chose fishermen, also, because they were use to hard knocks. Tho man wh» can not stand assault is not tit for the ministry. It always has been and always will be rough work;.and the man who, at every censure or caricature, sits down to cry, had bettor bo at some other work. It is no place for ecclesiastical doll-babies. A man who can not preach because he has forgotten his manuscript or lost his spectacles, ought not to preach at all. Heaven deliver the church from a ministry that preach in kid gloves, and from sermons in black morocco covers! These Ashmen were rough and ready. They had been in tho severest of all colleges. When they were knock over by the main boom of the ship they entered the “Sophomore;” when washed off by a great wave, they entered tho “Junior;”, when floating for two days, without foor or drink, on a plank, they came to the “Senior;” and when at last their ship dashed on the beach in a midnight hurricane, they graduated with the flrst

My text finds Jesus on shipboard with one of these bronzed men—Simon by name. This fisherman had been sweeping his net in shoal water, “Ihish out,” says Christ, "what is tMt use of hugging the shore in this boaW Here is a lake twelve miles long and six wide, and it is all populated—just waiting for the sweep of your net Launch out into the deep.” The advioe that my Lord gave to Simon is as appropriate for us all in a spiritual sense. The fact is that most of us are paddling along the shore. We are- afraid to venture out into the great deeps of God and Christian experience. We think that the boat will bo up-3et, or that we can not “clew down the mixzen top sail,” and our cowardice makes us poor fishermen. I think I hear the voice of Christ commanding us, as He did Simon, on that day when bright Galilee set in among the green hills of Palestin, like water flashing in an emerald cup: “Launch out into the deep.” This Divine counsel comes, first, to all those who are paddling in the margin of Bible research. My father read the Bible through three times iafter he was eighty years of age, and without spectacles; not for the mere purpose of saying he had been through it so often, but for his eternal profit. John Colby, the brother-in-law of Daniel Webster, learned to read after he was eightyfour years of age, in order that he might become acquainted with the Scriptures. There is no book in the world that demands so much attention as the Bible. Yet nine-tenths of Christian men get no more than ankle-deep. They think it is a good sign not to venture too far. They never ask how or why; and if they see some Christian becoming inquisitive about the deep things of God they say: “Be careful; you had better not go out so far from shore.” My answer is: The farther you go from shore the better, if you have the right kind of ship. If you have mere worldly philosophy for the hulk, and pride for a sail, and self-con-ceit for the helm, the first squall will destroy you. But if you take the Bible for your craft, the farther you go the better; and after you have gone ten thousand furlongs, Christ-will still command: “Launch out into the deep.” Ask some such question as “Who is God?” and go on for ten years asking it. Ask it at the gate of every parable; amidst the excitement of every miracle; by the solitariness of every patriarchal threshing-floor; amidst the white faces oi Sennacherib’s slain turned up into the moonlight; amidst the flying chariots of the Golden city. Ask who Jesus is, and keep on asking it of every Bible lily, of every raven, of every star, of every crazed brain oured, of every coin in fish’s mouth, of every loaf that got to be five loaves, of every wratful sea pacified, of .every pulseless arm stretched forth in gratulatlon; ask it of His mother, of Augustus,of Herod, of the Syrophoenician woman, of the damsel that woke up from the deathsleep; of Joseph, who had Him buried; of the angel posted as sentinel atH is tomb; of the dumb earth, that shook, and groaned, and thundered when He died. A missionary in France offered a Bible to an humble dwelling. A man took it, tore out a dozen pages and with them began to light his pipe. Some years after the missionary happened in the same house. The family had just lost their son in the Crimean war and his Bible had been sent back home. The missionary took it up, and saw that it was the .very same Bible that he had left in the house and from which the leaves had been torn. The dying soldier had written on one of the leaves of the Bible: “Rejected and scoffed at, but finally believed in and saved.” The Bible may be used to light the pipe of witticism by some, but for us it is a staff in life, a pillow in death and our joy for eternity. Walk all up and down this Bible domain; try every path. Plunge in at the prophecies and come out at the epistles. Go with the patriarchs until you meet the evangelists. Rummage and ransack as children who are not satisfied when they come to a new house, until they know what is in every room, and into what every door opena Open every jewel casket. Examine the skylights. Forever be asking questions. Put to a higher use than wh intended the Oriental prov

feel as if the last flash of beauty most exhaust the scene; but in a moment there is a turn of the river, which covers up the former view with more defiant castles, and bolder bluffs, vine* wreathed, and (Tropes so ripe that if the hills be touched they Would bleed their rich life away into the bowls of Bingen and Uockheimer. Here and thore, there are streams of water melt* ing into the river like joys swallowed In the bosom of a great gladness. And when night begins to throw its black mantle over the shoulder of the hills, nnd you are approaching disem* barkatlon at Mayenec, the lights along the shore fairly bewitch the scene with their beauty, giving one a thrill that he feels but once, yet that lasts him forever. So this river of God’s word is not a straight stream, but a winding splendor—at every turn new wonders to attract, still riper vintage pressing to the brink, and crowded with castles of strength (Stolaenfels and Johannisbcrger as nothing compared with the strong tower into which the righteous run and are saved), and our disembarkation at last, in the evening, amidst the lights that gleam from the shore of Heaven. The trouble is that the vast majority' of Bible voyagers stop at Coblentz, where the chief glories begin. The sea of God's word is not like Gennesnret, twelve uwles by six, but boundless, and in any one direction you can sail on forever. Why, then, confine yourself to a short psalm or to W few verses of an ep’ .ilo? The largest fish are not near the shore. Hoist all sail to the winds of Heaven. Take hold of both oars and pull away. Be like some of the whalers that went out from New Bedford or Portsmouth, to be gone for two or three years. Yea, calculate on a lifetime voyage. You do not want to land until you land in Heaven. Sail away, oh ye mariners, for eternity! Launch out into the deep. The text is appropriate to all Christians of shallow experience. Doubts and fears have in our day been almost elected to the parliament of Christian graces. Some consider it a bad sign not to have any doubts. Doubts and fears are not signs of health, but festers and carbuncles. Yon have a valuable horse or farm. It is suggested that the title Is not good. You employ counsel. You have the deeds examined. You search the record for mortgages, judgments and liens. You are not satisfied until you have a certificate signed by the great seal of the state, assuring you that the title is good. Yet how many leave thoir title to Heaven an undecided matter! Why dP you not go to the records and find out? Give yourself no rest, day nor night, until you can read your title clear to .

Christian character is to come up to higher standards. We have now to hunt through our library to find one Robert McCheyne, or one Edward Payson, or one Harlan Page. The time will come when we will find half a dozen of them sitting' in the samo seat with us. The grace of God can make a great deal better men than those I have mentioned. Christians seem afraid they will get heterodox by going too far. They do not believe in Christian perfection. There is no danger of your being perfect for some time yet. 1 will keep watch and give you notice in time if you get too near perfection for the safety of your theology. One-half of you Christians are simpty stuck in the mud. Why not cut loose from everything but God? (rive not to Him that formal petition made up of “0’s”—“0 Lord!” this, and “0 Lord!” that. When people are cold, and have nothing to say to God they strew their prayers with “O's?” and “Forever and ever, amen,” and things to fill up Tell God what you want, with the feeling that He is ready to give it, and believing that you will receive, and you shall have it. Shed that old prayer yon have been making these ten years. It is high time that yon outgrew it. Throw it aside with your old ledgers, and your old hats, and your old shoes. Take a review of your present wants, of you present sins, and of your present blessings. With a sharp blade cut away you past half-and-half Christian life, and with new determination, and new plans, and new expectations, launch out into the deep. The text is appropriate to all who are engaged in Christian work. The church of God has been fishing along the shore. We set our net in a good, calm place, and in sight of a fine chapel, and we go down every Sunday to see if the fish have been wise enough to come into our net. We might learn something from that boy with his hook and line. He throws his line from the bridge; no flsb. He sits down on a log; no fish. He stands in the sunlight and casts the line; but no fish. He goes up by the mill-dam and stands behind the bank, where the fish can not see him,'and he hardly dropped the hook before the cork goes under.. The fish come to him as fast as he can throw them ashore. In other words, in our Christian work, why do we not go where the fish are? It is not so easy to catch souls in church, for they know that we are trying to take them. If you can throw your line out into the world, where they are not expecting you, they will be captured. Is it fair to take men by such stratagem? Yes. I would like to cheat five thousand souls into the Kingdom. The whole policy of the Church of God is to be changed. Instead of chiefly looking after the few who have become Christians, our chief efforts will be for those outside. If after a man is converted he can not take care of himself, I am not going to take care of him. If he thinks that I am going to stand and pat on the back, and feed him out of an elegant spoon, and watch that he does not get into a draught of worldliness, he is much mistaken. We have in our churches a great mass of helpless, inane professors, who are doing nothing for themselves or for others, who want us to stop and nurse them! They arc so troubled with doubt as to whether they are Christians or not. The doubt is settled. They are not Christians. The best we can do with these fish is to throw them back into the stream, and go after them again with the Gospel net. “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel,” says ChrlBt; into the factory, ‘the engine house, the club-room, into the houses of the sick, into tire dark lane, into the damp cellar, into the cold garret, into the dismal prison. Let every man. woman and ohild know that Jesus died, and that the gate of Heaven is wide" open. With the Bible in one pocket and the hymn-ltook in another pocket, and a loaf of bread under your arm, launch out into the great deep of this world’s wretchedness. Tjhe text is appropriate to all the unforgiven. Every sinner would come to God If he thought that he might come just as he is. People talk as though the pardon of God were a narrow river, like the Kennebec or the Thames, and that their sin draws too much water to enter It No; it is not a river, nor a bay, but a sea. I should like to persuade you to launch out into the great deep of God’s mercy. I am a merchant. I have bought a cargo of spices-in India.

started. money yourself. to pay It The nrinade before you 80 Christ purchases your pardon. He puts the papers or the promises, Into your hand. Is It wise to say I “I can hot pay for my re* demption?" Hod does not ask you to pay. Relying on what has been done, launch out Into the deep. The Bible’s promises join hands, and the circle they make will compass all your sins, and all your temptations, and all your sorrows. The round table of King Arthur and his knights had room for only thirteen banqueters; bnt the round table of God's supply is large enough for all the present inhabitants of earth and Heaven to sit at, and for the still mightier populations that are yet to he. Do not sail coastwise along your old habits and old sins. Keep clear of the shore. Go out whero the water is deepest est -Oh, for the 19td-sea of God’s mercy! “He it known unto yon, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you forgiveness of sins.” I pi-each it with as much confidence to the eighty-year-old transgressor as to the maiden. Though your sins were blood red, they shall be snow white. The more ragged the prodigal, the more compassionate the father. Do yon say that yon are too bad? The high-water mark of God’s pardon is higher than all your transgressions, “The blood of Jesus Christ cloanesth from all sin.” Do you say that your heart is hard? Did you say that your iniquity is long continued? Suppose it were ten ten times longer? Do yon say that yonr crimes are black? Suppose that they were ten times blacker. Is there any lion that this Samson can not slay? Is there any fortress that this Conqueror can not take? Is there any sin this Redeemer can not pardon? It is said that when Charlemagne’s host was Overpowered by the three armies of the Saracens in the pass of Roncesvallcs, his warrior, Roland, in terrible earnestness, seized a trumpet and blew it with such terrific strength that the opposing army reeled back with terror; but at the third blast of the trumpet it broke in two. I seo your soul fiercely assailed by all the powers of earth and hell. I put tho mightier trnmpet of the Gospel to my lips, and I blow it three times. Blast the first— “Whosoever will, let him come.” Blast the second—“Seek ye the llfhrd while He may be found.” Blast the third— “Now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation.” Does not the host of yonr sins fall back? But the trumpet does not, like that of Roland, break in two. As it was handed down to us from the lips of our fathers, we hand it down to the lips of our children, and them to sound it when we are dead, that all the generations of men may know that our God is a pardoning God—a sympathetic God— a loving God; and that more to Him than the anthems of Heaven, more to Him than the throne on which He sits, more to Him than are the temples of celestial worship, is the joy of seeing the wanderer putting his hand on the door-latch of His Father’s house. Hear it, all ye uations! Bread for the worst hunger. Medicine for the worst sickness. Light for the thickest darkness. Harbor for the worst storm. Dr. Prime, in his book of wonderful interest entitled “Around the World,” describes a tomb in India of marvelous architecture. Twenty thousand men wore twenty-two years in erecting that and tho buildings around it. Standing in that tomb, if yon speak or sing, after yon have ceased you hear the echo coming from a height of one hundred and, fifty feet. It is not like other echoes. The sound is drawn out in sweet prolongation, as though the angels of God were chanting on the wing. How many souls in the tomb of sin will lift up the voice of penitence and prayer? If now they would cry unto God, the echo would dgop from afar—not from the marble cupola of an earthly mausoleum, but sounding back from the warm heart of angels, flying with the news; for there is joy among the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth!

The Chautauqua Circle. Referring to the Chautauqua Circle, an eminent divine who opposed it at its inception remarks: "If the man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before is a public benefactor, what shall we say of aim who is able to put two good books in hands that held one before? The Chautauqua Circle has circulated an average of 30,001, sets of books every year. In fourteen years 30,000 sets of books would represent 180,000 volumes per annum. ’Tie something to have put one good book into the hands of a reader. ’Tis more to have put 3,000,000 good books in the hands of the people.

I n dueling each combatant is necessarily prepared to have his life taken, and in gambling each party is similarly prepared to take or lose what is not properly his own. Of all habits, gambling is the most intrinsically savage. Morally, it is unchivalrous and unchristian. “All gaming," said the acute Archbishop Whately, “since it desires to profit at the unrequited expense of another, is a breach of the tenth commandment” — —The volume of statistics of churches just published is an important and interesting expose. These statistics form a part and perhaps the most valuable and authentic part of the last census. They show that 30,000,000 out of the 63,000,000 of our population aro church members—nearly one in every three persons. If we reinforce the members by adding the adherents of the churches, who are usually counted as two to one, we come straigtway upon the truth that the claim that this is a Christian nation is no empty boas*—Notwithstanding the tendency of the people to mass together in cities, and the consequent overcrowding of the tenement-house population, remarks a religious weekly, it is a satisfaction to learn from the eleventh census that the number of dwelling houses has increased faster than the population.

If I want them particularly ; pretty and stylish, 1 herastich the hems; but that’s a lot of toother and doesn't pay- , “I have ,sorao gowns — ‘reposing robes,’ as one of my sentimental friends calls them—with ruffles of linen lawn, hemstitched and trimmed with a Smyrna edge not over a half-ineh wide. My gowns are- of fine linen for hotweather w< a-, and it is a luxury, or, rather, 1 may say, an extravagance, in which I indulge myself.

years ago I hpd Bronchitis, which finally drifted into Consumption, so the doctors said, and they had about given me up. I was confined to my bed. One day my husband went for the doctor, but he was not inhisoflice. The druggist sent me a bottle of Piso’s Cure for Consumption. I took two doses of it, and was greatly relieved before the doctor came. He told me to continue its use as long as it helped me. I did so, and the result is, I am now sound and well—^ entirely cured of Consumption.—Mrs. P. E» BAKER, Harrisburg, Illinois, February 20, 1891.
