REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN- DAY SERMON. Subject: “The Bare Arm of God.” Text: “The Lord hath made b arm. Isaiah Mi, 10, It almost takes our breath away to read pome of the Bible imagery. Theres i8 such boldness of metaphor In my text that I have been for some time getting my courage up ts preach from it, Isalah, the evangelistio prophet, is sounding the jubilate of our lanet redeemed and eries out, “The Lord Bath made bare His holy arm.” whelming suggestiveness in that figure of speech, “The bare arm of God!” The peo- le of Palestine to this day wear much hinder ng apparel, and when they want to run a special race, or lift a special burden, or fight a special battle, they put off the outside apparel, ag in our land when a man proposes a special exertion he puts off his coat and polls up his Walk through our foundries, our machina shops, our mines, pur factories, and you fill find that most of the tollers have their coats off and their glee led up. Isainh saw that there must be a tremen- dos amount of work done before this world becomes what it ought to be, and he fore- gees it all accomplished, and accomplished His holy re sleeves, esr ————_— er t—s with His fingers! Suppression of omnipotence! yet untouched ! strated! Now, 1 ask, for the benefit of all disheartened Christian workers, if God se. complished so mueh with His fingers, what ean He do when He puts out all His strength and when He unlimbers all the batteries of His omnipotence? The Bible speaks again and again of God's outstretched arm, but only oneo, and that in the text, of the bare Ragsources as | arm of God, My text makes it plain that the reetifica. {tion of this world Is a stupendous under- | world over again What over- | | whirlwinds, by the Almighty, not as we ordinarily think | of Him, but by the Almighty with the sleeve of His robe rolled back to His shoulder, “The Lord hath made bare His holy arm.” Nothing mores impresses me {n the Bible than the ease with which God does most things, There is such a reserve of power. He has more thunderbolts than He has ever flung, more light than He has ever diztrib- uted, m blue than with which He has overarched the sky, more green than that with which He has emeralded the grass, more crimson than that with which He has barnished the sunsets, ence, from all I can see, God has never half trie A re | the chant of paradisaloal bowers, taking, It taken more power to make this than it took to make it at first, A word was only necessary for the first oreation, but nopsieeved and unhindered fore arm of the Almighty! The reason of that I can under. stand, In the shipyards of Liverpool or Glasgow or New York a great vessel is con- structed, The architect draws out the plan, the length of the beam, the capacity of ton. nage, the rotation of wheel or screw, the eabin, the masts and all the appointments of this great palace of the deep, The architect finishes his work without any perplexity, and the carpenters and the artisans toil on the craft so many hours a day, each one doing his part, until with flags flying, and thousands of people huzzaing on the docks, the vessel is launched, But out on the sea that steamer breaks her shaft and is limping slowly along toward harbor, when Caribbean those mighty deop, looking out for prey of ships, surround that wounded vessel and pitch it on a rocky coast, and she lifts and falls in the breakers until every joint Is loose, and every spar is down, and every wave sweeps over the hurricane deck as she parts midships, Would it not require more skill and power Aye!
