"REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN- DAY SERMON. Subject: “The Spiritual Codfilets of Life.” re. Texr: “And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the break. ing of the day. And when he saw that he pre- vailed not against him he touched the hole low of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was oul of joint as he wrestled with him, And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh, And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me," Genesis xxxil,, 24-26, Tho dust arose from a traveling herd of eattlo and sheep and goats and camels, They are the present that Jacob sends to gain the good will of his offended brother, That night Jacob halts by the brook Jabbok, But there is no rest forthe weary man, no shining ladder to let the angels down into his dream, but a flerce combat, that lasts until the morn- ing, with an unknown visitor, They each try to throw the other, The unknown visit- or, to reveal his superior power, by a touch wrenches Jacob's thigh bone from its socket, perhaps maiming him for life, As on the morning sky the clusters of purple cloud be- gin to ripen Jacob sees it is an angel with whom he has been contending, and not one of his brother's condjutors. “Let me go,” cries the angel, lifting himself up into in- creasing light, “The day breaketh !” You see, in the first place, that God allows good people sometimes to get into aterrikle straggle. Jacob was a good man, but here he is left alone in the midnight to wrestle with a tremendous influemce by the brook Jabbok, For Joseph, a pit; for Daniel, a wild beast den ; for David, dethronement and exile; for John the Baptist, a wilderness diet and the executioner's ax; for Peter, a yrison ; for Paul, shipwreck ; for John, deso- ate Patmos; for Vashti, most insulting cruelty ; for Josephine, banishment ; for Mrs, Sigourney, the agony of a drunkard's wife ; for John Wesley, stones hurled by an infuri- ated mob ; for Catherine, the Scotch girl, the drowning surges of the sea ; for Mr. Burns, the buffeting of the Montreal populace ; for John Brown, of Edinburgh, the pistol shot ©f Lord Claverhouse ; for Hugh MeKall, the seafiold ; for Latimer, the stake; for Christ, the cross. For whom the rocks, the gibbets, the guillotines, the thumbserews? For the sons and daughters of the Lord God Al- mighty, Some one said to a Christian re- former, “The world Is against you." “Then, he replied, *‘I am against the world.” I will go further and say that every Chris- tian has his struggle, This man had his combat in Wall street; this one on Broad street ; this one on Fulton street ; one on Chestnut street ; this one on State street this one on Lo bourse, With financial had the midnight wrestle, y have dropped into your store from | esliar.

I have seen men rally themseolveg for such a ate yintio, 2nd they Bave bitten their lips and clinched thelr fists and eoried, with a blood red earnest. ness and & rain of scalding tears, “‘God help me I™ From s wrestle with habit I have seen men fall back defeated. Calling for no help, but relying on their own resolutions, they have coms into the straggle, and for a time It seemed as if they were getting ths hand of their habit, but that habit rallied again its infernal power and lifted a sou from its standing, and with a foree borrowed from the pit haried it into utter darkness. First I saw the auctioneers mallet fall on the pictures and musical instruments and the rieh upholstery of his family parior. After awhile I saw him fall into the diteh, Then, in the midnight, when the children were dreaming their swaotest dreams and Chris tian households are silent with slumber, an gel watched, I heard him give the shar; shriek that followad the stab of his own poniard. Hae fell from an honored social po sition ; he fell from a family circle of which once he was the grandest attraction ; he fell from the house of God, at whose alters had been consecrated; he fell<forever! Bat, thank God, I have often seen a better termination than that. I have sean men prepare themselves for such a wrestling. They laid hold of God's help when they went into combat, The giant habit, regaled by the cup of many tempta- tions, came out strong and deflant, They clinched, There were the writhings and distortions of a fearful struggle. Dut the old giant began to waver, and, at last, Inthe midnight salons, with none but God to wit ness, by the brook Jabbok, the giant fell, and the triumphant wrestier broke the dark. ness with the cry, “Thanks be uato Gody who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” There is a widow's heart that first was desolated by bereavement and since by the anxieties and trials that came in the support of a family.
