4 REY. DR. TALMAGE, BROOKLYN DAY SERMON. THE Subject: “The Time ot Departure.” TEXT: hand. Departure! “The time of my depar -11 Timothy iv. 6, ture (5s at That is a word used only twice in all the Bible, But it is a word often used in the courtroom and means the desertion of one cousse of pleading for an. other, It is usad in navigation to describe the distance between two meridians p assing through the extremities of a course, Itis a word { have recently heard applied to my departure from America to Europe for a preaching tour to last until September, In a smaller and less significant sense than that implied in the text I can say, “The time of wy departure is as hand.” fhrough the printing press I address this sermon to my readersall the world over,and when they read it I will be in midocean, and niess something new happens in my ma rine experiences I will be in no condition to preach, But how unimportant the word de parture when applied to exchange of conti. nents as when applied to exchange of worlds as when Paul w rote, “The time of my de- parture is at hand Now departure implies a starting place and a place of destination, When Paul left this world, what was the starting point? It was a scene of great physical distress, It was the Tullianum, the lower dungeon of the Mamertine prison, Rome, Italy. The ts »p dungeon was bad enough, it having no means of ingress or egress but through an opening in the top. Through that the pris- oner was lowered, and thre nh that came all the food and air and eaeived, It was a terrible place, that dungeon, but the Tulhanum was and that was still more light and the only roof, and that roof t 1 dungeon, That was p aul's la dence, I was in that ! 1880.
