BEV. DR. TALMAGE The Eminent Brooklyr Divine's Sun. day Sermon, Subject: “The Text. “Dieill avise and 4 — Lune xv, 18, : Prodigal Son." o tomy father” There is nothing lite bunger tn take the energy out of a man A hungry man can toil neither with pen nor hand nor foo, here has beer an army defoits not so much for lack of ammuuition as for lack of bread. It was that fact that took the fire out of this young man of the text. Storm and exposur.s will wear out any man’s life in the, but hunger makes quick work. The most awful cry ever heard ou earth is the cry for bread. A traveler tells us that in there ure trees which bear fruit lo king very much like the long bean of our time. It is called the carab, Once in awhile the people reduced to destitution would eat these ca- rabs, but generally the carabe, the beans spoken of here in the text, were thrown only to the swine and they crunche! them with great avidity. But this young man of my text cond not get even them without steal- ing them, No one dav troughs he begins to soliloguize, He says. **These are no clothes for & rich man's son to wear, this is no kind of business tora Jew to be cugaget in—feeding swine; I'll go home, I'll go home; 1 will arise and zo to my father.” » I know there are a great many people who try lo throw a fascination, a romance. a halo bout sin, but notwithstan ling all that Lord Byron and George Sand have said in regard to it, itis a mean, low, contemptible business, and putting food and fodder into the troughs of u herd of iniquities that root and wallow in the soul of man is very poor business tor men and women intende | to be sons and daughters of the Lord Almichty. And when this young man vel to go Lome it was a very wise thing for him to do and the only question is whether we . low him, Satan promises serve him, but be rags and he pincoes toe when they start «ut after them all the Satan comes to us tc; and hh» all luxuries, all emoluments if vw: will only serve him. Liar, with thee to the pit! “The wages of sir is death. Oh, the Young man of the tex: ‘ uttered the res 10 my father.” In the time of Queer persecutor came to bad hidden in her one of Christ's gery . and the said, "Where is that horstic?

You must have a stout, tremendous resolu. tion like this J Sune man of the text when be said, “I will arise and go to my father.” “Oh” says some man, “how do Fen my father wants me? How do I know, if Igo back, I would be received” “On™ gays some map, "you don't know where [ have besn; you don't know how far | have wan. dered; you wouldn't talk that way to mo if you knew all the iniquities | have commit. te.” What is that flutter among the angels of God? It is mews, it is news! Carist has found the lost, Nor ange's can their jov contain, Bat kin died with new fire; Tha sinner ost is found, they sing, And strike the sounding lvre, 1 remark still furthes that this resslution of the text was founded in a feeling of homesickness. I do not know how long this young man, how many months, how many gears he had been away from his father's use, bub there is something about the reading of my text that inakes ine think he was homesick, Home of you know what that feeling is. Far away trom home some times surrounded by everything bright and pleasant—plenty o friend have said, “I would give the world to be home to- night.” oll, this goung man was home wick for his father's house i have no doubt when he thought of his father’s “Now perhaps father may not Ca than this mei talk After awhi id saya, i Why ine about “ Clie, thee Of physicians’ | pever into fad Tn a4 terribly mic ano vou and you feel and ali right in o you ted ’ house he said, be living.” i | | i i i | § | We read nothing in this story —this par. able tounded on every day life—wa real nothing about the moth or, It says nothing about going home to her, 1 think she was dead, I think she had died of a broken heart at his wanderings, or perhaps he had gone into dissipation from the fact he could not rememoer a loving and sympathetic mother, A man never gets over having lost his mother Nothing said about her here, Lut he is homesics 101 his fatner's house, He thouzht he would just like to go aud walk around the ol 1 placa, He thou:ht he ! us they used to ve, Many a mao, after haviog bran off fora long while, has gone home and kaockel at the door and n stranger has coms, It {5 thy oid homestead, but a stran ger com to the door, He findsout father is gons, mother is gone and brothers and sists all gona, | tuiak this younz man of tne txt said to him- golf, “Pernaps father may be dead.” Still he startsto find oat, Ha is honesick.

The country is terribly shocked by a railroad accident in which a half dozen or more peopie lose ther lives, hut very little attention is paid to the list of casualties among railroml employees, which is greater by thousand« than that of the travelers on the roads, When a smash. up occurs and a few people are 30 jured every crank in the United States bobs up with a denunciation of the carelessness of the road's management and a sug. gestion as to how to avert accidents in the futdre. Why don't these people pay a little attention to the deaths that accrue to the thousands of men while in the dis. charge of their duties as rmilway em. ployees and conjure some method to remedy the defects in the system which cause them? Bomething more than air brakes and automatic couplers is needed to make the work of the railroad man less hazardous, and perhaps the statistics to which I refer will set the people w thinking.” SHE LACKED A PENNY.
