REY. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN. DAY SEILMON, Subject: “Apologies for Not Entor ing the Christian Lite” i ——————— Text: “And they all with one consent Began to make excuse." —Luke xiv, 18, After the invitations to a leves are sant out the regrets come in. One man apologizes for nonattendance on one ground, another on another ground, The most of the regrets are founded on prior enzagemsnx So in my text a great banquet was spread, the in- vitations were circulated, anil now the re- grets coms in, The one gives an agricultu- ral reason, the other a stock dealer's reason, the other a domestic reason—all poor rea- sons. The agricultural reason being that the man had bought a farm and wanted to sce it, Could he not see it the next day! The stock dealer's reason being that he had bought five yoke of oxen, and he wanted to 30 and prove them, He aad no business to uy them until he knew what they were, Besides thas a man who can own fiva yoke of oxen can command his own time, Be sides that he might have yoked two of them together and driven them on the way to the banquet, for loc>motion was not 4s rapid then as now, Fhe man who fate the domestic reason said he iad got married. He ought to have taken his wifo with bim, The fact was they did not want to go. “And they all with one <onsent began to make excuse,” S50 now God spreads a great banquet; it is the gospel feast, and the table reacnes across the heme ispheres, and the invitations go out ani mul. tudes come and sit down and drink out of the chalices of God's love, while other mul. titudes decline co ming—the one giving this aApoiogy and the otuer giving that apology. “And they all with one consent began to make excuse.” I propose this morning, so far as God may help me, to examine the apologies which men make for not entering the Christian life Apology the first; [ am not sure there is anything valuable in ths Christian re ligion.

For Transfusion of blood in science, | 200 years the experiments were discon. tinued, and then one day, some years ago, the story of the death of a young medical student named Romain le Goff, while trying to save the life of a friend with his own blood, created a great sea- sation, A street in Paris, named alter le Goff, commemorates his brave act. By this time the medical men had learned that to be successful the blood must neither be allowed to coagulate, nor air suffered to enter the veins with it. Doctor Roussel, of Geneva, invent. od an apparatus which overcame both the above dificalties. Since that time the experiments have been continued with remarkable success, Many lives have been undoubtedly saved by it.
