REY. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S DAY SERMON, SUN- " Subject: “Launch Out Into the Deep.’ Text: “Launch out into the deep." — Luke v_, 4. Christ, starting on the campaign of tha worla’s conquest, was selecting His staf? officers, There were plenty of students with high foreheads, and white hands, and intellectual faces, ani refined tastes in Roma and in Jerusalem, Christ might have called into the apostieship twelve bookworms, or twelve rhetoriciansg, or twelve artists, In stead He takes a group of men who had never made a speech; never taken a lesson in belleslettres: never been sick enough to make them look delicate—their hands broa?, clumsy and bard knuckled., He choss fisher men, among other reasons, I think, because they were physically hardy. Rowing makes strong arms and stout chests. Much climb. ing of ratlines makes one’s head steady, Galilee tempest wrestled men into gymns The opening work of the church was re work. Christ did not want twelve invalids hanging about Him, complaining all the time how badly they felt. He leaves the delicate students at Jerusalem and Rome for their mothers and aunts to take cire of, and goes down to the seashore, and out of the toughest material makes an apostieshin, The ministry need more corporeal vigor than any other clase, Fine minds and good intentions are important, but there must be physical force to back them, The intellectual mill wheel may be well built and the grist good, but there must be enough blood in the mill race to turn the one and to grind the other Ha chosa fishermen also because they were usad to hard knocks. The man who cannot stand assault is not fit 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 t some other work. It is no place for ecc astical doll babies A man who cinnot preach becauss he has forgotten his manu script or lost his spectacl preach at all, Heaven d from a ministry that pr and from sermons in black These fishermn were They had been in the ster When they were knocked over by the main boom of the entered the Soph ) Han washe wave red the they {f by a great hen float das they g Christian boat will be down the 1 makes us | up ’ purpose sayi often, but for bh the halk, and pride for a sa ceit | the first you take craft, the farther you after you have gone Christ will still comm the deey Ask some is God” and go Ask it at the the excitement tariness of every pe amid the white turned up int ing chariots Ask who Jesus of every Bibl ’ Levers r the helm f vou at If you : f {fo erazad brain « ne TH sat star, blind man co in a fish's mouth, be five loaves pacilied, every p forth in gratuiation; Augustus, of Mig eyers ery of 1 sales ask it : : Herod, Kn the that woke ot Nyro up from the « Him buried, at His tomb, ant groaned a ! y Bible in an le dwelli The man took it, tore out a dozen pages and with them light his pipe, Se Ary had began to wine years after the miwion- The family Crimean war, happened in the same house ust lost their son in the i 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.

You sit on neck and feel as if this last flash of beauty must exhanst the sosne: but in a mommet thera is a turn of the river, which covers up the former view with more fusuriant vineyards, snd more deflant castles, and bolder bluffs vine wreathoed, and grapes 50 ripe that If the hills be touched they would bleed their rich life away lato bowls of Bingen and Hock. heimer, Here and there there are streams of water melting into the river, like smaller joys swallowed in the bosom of a great glviness, And when night begins to throw its black mantle over the shoulder of the hills, and ou are a ing disembarkation at ayonoe, the ts along the shore fairly bewitch the scene with their beauty, giving one a thrill that b) feels but onos, yet that lasts him forever.

You do not want to land until you land in heaven, Sail away, O ye mariners, for eternity! Launch out into the deep! The text is appropriate to all Christians of shallow experience. Doubts ani fears have in our dav been almost elected to the parlia- ment 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, You have a valuable house or farm. It is suggested that the title is not good. You employ counsel. Y tho deeds examined.

There is nothing new in this except to those persons who are begioners in the business of keeping cows, or who do not read a paper in which any Information on this subject is regularly given, It is a very simple matter.

But when a cow is regu- larly supplied with salt, not only is she satisfied with this gratification of her tastes and inclinations, but the digestion of the food is perfect, and the result is that the milk yield 1s up to the highest point.
