REV. DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON. The Brooklyn Divine's Sunday Sermon, Subject : “Mend the Nets.” TEXT: “James the son of Zebedss, and John his brother, in a ship toith Zobades Pheir father, mending their nels” —Mat~ thew iv, 21, “1 go a fishing,” cried Simon Peter to his comra les, and te most of the apostios had bands hard from fishing tackle. The flsa- eries of the world have always attracted attention. Ia the Thiri century the quesa of Egypt had for pin money four hundred and seventy thousand dollars, recsived from the fisheries of Lake Moeris. And if the time should ever come waen the immensity of the wor id's population could not be fal by the Veguinbior and meats of the land, tas soa has an amount of animal life that would feed all the populations of the earth, and fatten them with a food that by its phos hutus would make a generation braiay and teilectual beyoud anything that the world bas ever imagined, My text takes us among the Galilean fishermen. One day, Walter Boott, while hunting in an old drawer, found among some old fishing tackle the manuscript of his immortal book “*Waver- ley,” which he had put away there as of no worth, and who knows but that to-day we may find some unknown wealth of thougot while looking at the fishing tackle in tae bext? It is not a good day for fishing, and three then are in the boat repairing the broken fishing nets. If you are fishing with a hook and line and the fish will not bite it is a good ime to put the angler’s apparatus into better pondition. Perhaps the last fish you hauled In was so large that something snapped. Or kighty floundering of the scales, or an ex- posed nail on the side of the boat which broke some of the threads and let part or aliof ths eaptives of the deep escape into their natural plement. And hardly anything is more pro- voking than to nearly land a score or a bun- are in the full glee of hauling in the spotted t they splash back into the wave This is too much of a trial of patisnoce for most fishermen to endure, and many a man srdinarily correct of speech in such circum- tances comes to an intensity of utterance gn justifiable, Therefore no good fisherman sonsiders the time wasted that is spent in mending his net, Now the Bible again and again represents Christian workers as fish. ers of men, and we are all sweeping through the sea of humanity some kind of & net, In- deed, there hive been ugh nets out and snough fishermen busy to have landed the shole human race in the yn of God long before this, What is the matter?
