Good Counsel for the lost, ths Timid and the Christian Worker. KEEP CLEAE OP ALL SIXFUL COASTS terzciiL TEixa&tM to Tin: dispatch, Brookltx, Get 2. Dr. Talmage's text this morning was taken from Luke v:4, "Launch out into the deep." Christ, starting on the canmalgn of the world's conquest, was selecting His staff officers. There were plenty of students with high foreheads, and white hands, and intellectual laces, and refined tastes, in Bome and In Jerusalem. Christ might have called into the apostleship 12 hook-worms, or 12 rhetoricians, or 12 artists. Instead, tie takes a group of men who had never made a speech, never taken a lesson in belles lettres, never been sick enough to make them look delicate their bands broad, clumsy and hard -knuckled. lie chose fisher men, among other reasons, I think, because they were physically hardy. Ho chose fishermen, also, because they wore used to hard knocks. The man who cannot stand assault is not fit for the min istry. It always has been and always will be rough work: and the man who, at every censure or caricature, sits down to cry had bettor be at some other work. It is no plaoe for ecclesiastical doll babies. A man wh o cannot preach because he has rorgotten his manuscript or lost his spectacles ought not to preach at all. Heaven deliver the Church from a ministry that preach in kid gloves, ttnd lrom sermons in black morocco coversl Do ot Paddle Along the Shore. The advice that my Lord cave to Simon Is as appropriate for ns all in a spiritual sense. The (act is that most of us are just paddling along the shore. We ate afraid to venture out into the great deeps of God and Christian experience. Thero is no book in the world that demands so much of our attention as the Bible. Yet nine-tenths of Cnrlsttan men get no more than ankle-deep. They think it is a good slsu not to venture too far. They never ask how or why; and if they see some Christian becoming inquisitive about the deep things of God thev say: "Be careful; yon had better not go out so tar from shore." ily ansner is: The farther you co lrom shore toe better, if you have the right kind of ship. If you have meie worldly philos ophy for the hnlk, and pride for a sail, and sell-conceit lor tlio helm, the first squill will destroy yon. But it you take the Biblo lor your craft, the farther you go tho better. Walt all up and don n this Bible domain! Try every path. Plunge in at the prophe cies and come out at tho epistles. Go with the patriarchs, until you meet the eange lists. Buminage and ransack, as children who are not satisfied when they come to a new houe. until they know what is in every room, and into what every door opens. This river of God's xioiaisnoca straight stream, but a winding splendor at every turn new wonders toattract, still riper vint age pressing to the brink. The sea ot God's word is not like Geuesaret, 12 miles by 6, but boundless; and in anv one diroctton you can sail on forever. Why, then, confine yourself to a 6hort psalm, or to a few verses of an epistlct The largest fish are not near tho shore. Classes to Wiiom the Text Applies. The text is appropriate to all Christian of shallow expeileuce. Doubts and fears have in our day been almost elected to the parlli rnent of Christian graces. Some consider It a bad sign not to have any doubts. Doubts and fears are not bigns of health, but listers and carbuncles. The text is appropriate to nil who are en raged in Christian noik. The Church of God has been fishing along the shore. We sot our net in a good, calm place, and In sight of a fine ehapel, and o go down every Sunday to see If the flh have been wise enough to come into our net. We might learn somethins from that boy with tho hook and line. He throws his lino from tho bridge: no fish. He its down on a log: no fish. He stands in the sunlight and casts the line, but no fish. Ilogoes up to the mill Onm, and stands behind the banic, wlieie the fish cannot swWuJk- and he ha hardly d ""C tiie hook beloNp tho cork goes un ydoie nt go Vhere the tish arel jt so easy to catch, souls inchurcb.for tuov Know that we are trjiiig to tike tlicm. Tho text is appropriate to all the uutVjr glven. Kory pinner would come to God Xf lie thonght that ho might come just as he Is", People talk as though the pardon of Godv were a narrow liver, uue uie uenneoeo or the Thames, and that their sin draws too much water to enter it. No; it is not a river, nor a bay, but a sea. I should like to per suade you to launch out into the great deep or God's merer. Jfo Obstacles to the Lord's Mercy. Do not tail co.istwi-e along jour old habits ana old sins Keep clear of the shore. Go out where the water Is deepest. Oh, for the xulJ-sea of God's mercy! The moie ragged the prodigal, the more compassionate the father. Do jou say that you are too badt The high water mark of God's pardon is higher than all your transgressions. Do you say that your heart is hard? Suppose it were ten times harder. Do you say that your iniquity is long-continueu? Snppoe it were ton times longer. Do you say that your crimes are black? Suppc-o that they were ten times blacker. Is thole any Hon that thii Simeon cannot slay? Is there any fortress that this Conqueror cannot take? is there any sin this Uedeemer cannot par don? As salvation was handed down to us from the lips or our fathers e hand it down to the lips of our children, and tell them to sound it wbeh we are dead, that all the gen erations of men may know that our God is a pardoning GoJ a sympathetio God a loving-God; and that more to Him than tho anthems of heaven, more to Uiiu thin the throne on which He site, more to Him than are the temples or celestial worship, is the Joy of seeing the wanuerer putting his hand on the doorlatcn or his Father's house. Hear It, all yo nations! Bread for the worst hunger. Jledicine for the worst sickness. Light tor the thickest darkness. Harbor for tho worst storm. Apolhnari "THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS."
