BltooKLVN, May Su. The Rev. T. Do Witt Talmnge, D. D., preached nt tho Tnbornnclo todny to an overflowing congregation. Ho selected as tlio opening hymn tlmt ono begin ning! Salvation. O the Joyful sound. Tin pleasure to our ran; A sovereign Imlm for rvrry wound. A cordial to our fears Tbo tuxt wnsi "If 1 wash myself with snow water, mid should I cleanso my hands lit al kali, yet shall thou plungo mo In tho illtch, nnd mlno own clothes shnll abhor mo." Job li, JW, SI. Tho eloquent preacher said t Albeit Ilnrne honored bo his tiamo on earth nml in heaven wont straight back to tho original writing of ny toxt and translat ed it us 1 Imvo now quoted it, giving sub stantial reason for so doing. Although wo know better, tho nnclcuts hnd nn Idea that In snow water tlicro was n s)cclal iowcr to cleanse, nml that a garment washed and rinsed In it would lions clean ns clean could bo; but If tho plain snow water failed to do Its work, then they would take lyo or nlkali and mix It with oil, nnd under tlmt prepara tion thoy felt that tho Inst Impurity would certainly lio gone. Job, in my toxt, In most forceful llguru sets forth tho Idea that nil his attempts to mnko himself puro bcforoQod wcro n dead falluro, nud that, unless wo nro nblutcd by something better than earthly liquids nnd chemical preparations, wo nro lonthsomo and in tho ditch. "If 1 wnsh my ilf with snow wnter, nnd should I cleanso my hands in alkali, yet slialt thou plungo mo In tho dltch'nnd my clothe shall abhor mo." You nro now sitting for your picture I turn tho camera obscurn of God's word full upon you, nnd I pray that tho sunshluo fall ing through tho skylight mny enable mo to tnko you Just as you nro. Shall it Ik a flat tering picture, or shall it bo a truo onof You say: "tat It bo n truo one," Tho first profile that was over U'ken was taken thrco hundred and thirty years boforo Christ, of Antlgonus. IIo had n blind cyo and ha com)cllcd tho ar tist to tnko his profllo so ns to hide tho defect In his vision. Hut sluco tltnt Invention, thrco hundred mid thirty years heforo Christ, thero havo been n great many profiles, Shall 1 to day givo you n ono sided vlow of yourselves, n profllo! or shall it bo u full length portrait, showing you just what you nrof If God will help mo by his almighty grace, I shall glvo you that last kind of picture, fAOLTT RAtlLY TKACIUSO. When I first entered tho ministry, I used to wrlto m sermons all out nnd read them, nnd run my hand along tho line lest 1 should loso my place. I havo hundreds of thoso manu scripts. Shall lover preach them I Never; for in thoso days I was somehow overmastered with tbo Idea 1 heard talked all around nbout, of tho dignity of human nature, and I adopted tbo idea, nnd 1 evolved it, nud I Illustrated It, and I nrguod It; but coming on In llfo, and having seen mora of tho world, nud studied better my Illblo, I find that that early teach ing was faulty, and that tlicro is uo dignity in human nature, until it is reconstructed by tho graco of God. Talk about vessels going to pieces on tho Skerries, off Ireland! Thero never was such a shipwreck as in thoGihon nnd tho Hlddokcl, rivers of Edon, whero our first parents foundered. Talk of a steamer going down with ftvo hundred passengers on board I What is that to tho shipwreck of four teen hundred million souls! Vo nro by na ture a mass of unclennness nnd putrefaction, from which it takes all tho omnlpoteuco and inflnitudo of Gal's graco to extricate us. "If I wash myself with snow water, and should I elennso my hands In nlkali, yet slialt thou plungo mo in tho dicth, nnd mlno own clothes shall abhor mo." THE 8N0W WATKIl OK TINE APOLOCIIES. I remark, in the first place, that soino peo ple try to cleanso their soul of sin In tho snow water of lino apologies. Hero U ono man who says: "1 am a sinner; I confess that; but I Inherited this. My father was a sinner, my grandfather, my great-great-grandfather, and all tho way back to Adam, nnd I couldn't help myself." My brother, havo you uot, every day In your life, added something to tho original estate or sin that was bequcntnod to you I Aroyounot bravo enough to con fess that you havo sometimes surrendered to sin which you ought to havo conquered! 1 ask you whether it is fair play to put upon our ancestry things for which wo oui selves nro personally responsible! If your nnturo was askow when you got It, havo you not sometimes given It an additional twist! Will all tbo tombstones of thoso who havo preceded us muku a barricado high enough for eternal defenses! 1 know a dovout man who had blasphemous parentage, I know an honest man whoso futhcr was a thief. 1 know a pure man whoso mother was n waif of tho street. Tho hereditary tido may bo very strong, but there Is such a thing as stemming it, Tho fact that I havo a corrupt naturo is no reason why 1 should yield to It. Tbo deep stains of our soul can never bo washed out by the snow water of such lusufll clcut apology Still further, says romo onoi "If I havo gono Into sin, it lias been through my com panions, my comrades and associates; thoy ruined me, Thoy taught mo to drink. Thoy took mo to tho gambling belL Thoy plungod mo Into tho tousoof sin. Thoy ruined my soul." I do not bellovo it, God gavo to no ono tho power to destroy you or m. If a man U destroyed ho Is self destroyed, and that Is always so. Why did you not break nway from them! If they had tried to steal your purse, you would havo knocked them down; If thoy had fried to purloin your gold watch, you would havo riddled thoni with shot; but when thoy tried to steal your immortal soul, you placidly submitted to It. Thoso bad fellows havo a cup of flro todrluk, do not pour your cup into it. In this matter of tho soul, every man for himself. That thoso persons nro not fully re sponsible for your sin, I prove by tho fact that you still consort with thorn. You can not get off by blaming them. Though you gather up all these apologies, though thero wcro a great flood of them; though thoy should come down with tho forco of tho melting snows from tahnnon, they could not wash out one stain of your immortal soul. "WE AllE IIKTTKIl THAN OTIinil FKOI'LE," Still further, soino persons npologlzo for their sins by saying "Wo nro a great deal better than some jteopla You see peoplo all around nliout us that nro n great deal worso than we," You stand up columnar In your Integrity, and look down upon thoso who nro prostrate in their habits and crimes. What of that, my brother! If I failed through recklessness nud Ickcd imprudence for ten thousand dollars, U the matter alleviated at all hyaio f net t hat somebody else has failed for onoTundred thousand dollars, and romo body else for two hundred thousand dollars! Oh, no. If I have the neuralgia, shall 1 re fuse medical attendance Iscause my neighlior has virulent typhoid fever! The fact that his disease Is wnio than mine dues that cure mine! If I, throirjh my foolh.irdluchM, leap off into ruin, dues it break the lull to know that others leap off a higher cliff into deeper darkness? When tho Hudson river rail train went through tho bridgo At Spuy tu Duyvll, did It nllevlnto tho matter nt all that Instead of two of thrco people liclng hurt then wcro sovcnty-flvo mangled nnd crush ed! Ikvnuso others nro depraved, Is that nny excusa for my deprnvityf Ant I better than thoy! Pol bain thoy had worso temptations than I have hail. Perhaps their surroundings lit llfo wcro moro overpowering. 1'erhnps, O man, If you had been under tho snuto sirens of temptation, Instead of sitting hero today, you would havo been looking through the bars of a penitentiary, Porhnx, O woman, if you had been under tho same owcr of tempta tion, Instead of silting hero today, you would bo tramping the street, tho laughing stock of men mid tho grief of tho nugols of God, dungeoned, body, mind and soul, In tho blackness of despair Ah, do not let us solace ourselves with tho thought that other peoplo nro worso than we. Perhaps In tho futuro, when our fortunes mny chango, un less God prevents it, wo mny bo worso than thoy nro. Many a man after thirty years, after forty years, nftor fifty years, after six ty years, has gone to plecos on tho sand bars. Oh I instead of wasting our tltiio In hyper criticism nbout othors, lot us nsk ourselves tho questions, Whero do wo stand! What nro our sins! What nro our deficits! What aro our perils! What our hopes! Let each ono say to himself t "Whero will I be! Shnll I raugo in summery fields, or grind In tho mills of n great night I Whero! Whero!" Soino whiter morning you go out and sco n snow bank In graceful drifts, as though by soino honvonly compnM It hnd teen curved; nnd as tho sun glints It tho luster Is nlmost Insufferable, and It seems m If God had wrapped the earth In n shroud with white plaits woven In looms celestial. And you snyi "Was thero over anything so puro ns tho snow, so beautiful as tho snow!" nut you brought n pail of that snow nud put It upon the stovo nnd molted it; nnd you found that tlicro was n sediment nt the liottom, nud ovcry drop of that snow wnter was riled; and you found that tho snow bank had gath ered up tho Impurity of tho field, and that after all it was not lit to wnsh In. And so, 1 say, it will bo If you try to gather up theso contrasts and comparisons with others, nud with theso npologles attempt to wnsh out tho sins of your heart and life. It will bo an unsuccessful ablution. Such snow water will nover wnsh away n single stain of an Immortal soul. "OOOD KESOLUTIONS." But I hearsomooiio say: "I will try some thing better than that. I will try tho forcoof ngood resolution. That will bo moro pungent, moro caustic, moro extirpating, moro cleans ing. Tho snow wnter has failed, and now I will try tho alkali of n good, strong resolu tion." My dear brothor, havo you any Idea that a resolution about tho futuru will liqui date tho past! Suposo I owed you llvo thousand dollars nml 1 should como to you to-morrow nud say: "Sir, 1 will nover run in debt to you again, if I should llvo thirty years, I will never run in debt to you again ;" will you turn to me nnd say: "If you will not run in debt in the futuro, I will forgivo you tho flvo thousand dollars." Will you do that! Nol Nor will God. Wo havo been running up a long scoro of Indebtedness with God. If for tho future we should abstain from sin, that would bo no dofrnymcut of past indebtedness. Though you should llvo from this time forth puro as an archangel before tho throno, that would not redeem the past. God, In tho Bible, dis tinctly declares that ho "will requiro that which Is past" past opportunities, past nog loots, past wicked words, past Impure imag inations, past everything. Tho past is n great cemetery, and ovorydnyls burled in It. And heroism long row of thrco hundred nnd sixty flvo graves. They aro tho dead days of 1833. Hero Is a long row of three hundred and slxty-Qvo moro graves, and thoy are tho dead days of 1337. And hero Is a long row of threo hundred nnd sixty-five more graves, and they aro tho dead days of 18S0. It Is a vast cemetery of tho past. But God will rouso them nil up with insurrectionary blast, and ns tho prisoner stands foco to faco with juror and Judgo, so you nnd I will iiavo to como up and look upon thoso doartcd days faco to face, exulting In their smilo or cower Ing In their frown. "MUHDEIl WILL OUT." "Murder will out" is a proverb that stops too short Every sin, however small as woll as groat, will out. In hard times in England, years ago, It Is authentically stated thai n manufacturer was on bis way, with a bag or motioy, to pay off his hands. A man, infuri ated with hunger, met him on tho road and took n rail with a nail in it from n paling fenco nnd struck him down, and tbo nail en tering his sktdl Instantly slow him. Thirty years after that the murderer went back to that plnco. IIo xissod Into tho grave yard, whero the sexton was digging n grave, anil while l)o stood thero tho spade of tho soxton turned up a skull, mid, lol the murilorcr saw a nail protruding from tho back part of tho skull, and as tho soxton turned tho skull it seemed, with hollow eyes, to glare on tho murderer; nnd he, first petrified with horror, stood In silence, but boon cried cut: "Guilty! guilty! O Godl" Tho mystery of tho crime was over. Tho man was tried and executed. My friends, nil tho unpardoned sins of our lives, though wo may think they nro burlod out of sight and gono into n mere skeleton of memory, will turnup In tlio cemetery of the past nnd glower upon us with their misdoings. I say nil our unpardoned sins. Oh, have you dono tho preposterous thing of kupsslng that good resolutions for tho futuro will wipo out tho past! Good resolutions, though they may bo pungent and caustic as alkali, havo uo owcr to neutralize n sin, havo uo power to wash away a transgression. It wants something moro than earthly chemistry to tlo tills. Yea, yea, though "I wash my hnnds with snow water, and should I cleanso my hands in alkali, yet slialt thou plungo mo In tho ditch, aud mlno own clothes shall abhor me." BIN NO KLOWEIIV PAIlTEUnE. You sou from tho last part of this toxt that Job's Idea of sin was very different from that of Eugcno Sue, or George Sand, or M, J. Mlchelct, or nny of tbo hundreds of writers who havo dono up iniquity in mezzotint, nnd garlanded tho wino cup with eglantine and rosemary, and mado tbo path of the llbertino end lu bowers of easo instead of on tho hot flagstone of Infernal torture. You sco that Job thinks that sin Is not n flowery parterre; thnt it is not it tableland of flue prospects; that it is not music, dulcimer, violoncello, oastanet aud Pandean pipes, all making music together. No. Uo says It Is a ditch, long, deep, lonthsomo, steuchful, and wo are all plunged Into It, nud there wo wallow and sink and struggle, uot nble to get out. Our robes of propriety nnd robes of worldly pro fession aro saturated lu tho slime aud ale ul nation, nnd our soul, covered with trnusgre-v slop, hates its covering, and the covering hates tho soul until wo are plunged Into the ditch, und our own clothes ubhor us. UNHOLY CAHICATUUIN08. I know tlmt some modern religionists carl catuio sorrow for sin, mid they make nut nu easier path than tlio "pilgrim' progress" that John llimyan dreamed of. The road they travel docs uot start where John's did, at the city of Destruction, but at the ynt uf the university . nnd I nut very certain that It will not come out where John's did, under t!u siliiln:; ruuipiris of tliecclcstl.il city Nn lilciit.uii-ii. no pardon. If iou do lint, in) brother, feel that you are down lu tho ditch, what do you want of Christ to lift yououtl If you havo uo appreciation of tho fact thnt you nro ntrny, what do you want of him who camo to sek nnd snvo thnt which was lostl Yonder Is the City of Paris, tho swiftest of the Ionian, coming across tho Atlantic. Tlio w iud l nbnft, no that she bos not only her engines nt work, but nil sails up. I nm on board tho Umbrht, of tho Cunaril line. Tho Itout dnvlls nro swung around. Tho boat (s lowered I got Into it with a red flag, Mid cross over to whero tho City of Paris Is coming, nud t wave tho flag. Tho captain looks olT from tho bridge, nnd says: "What do you wnntl" I replyi "I como to tnko soino of your passengers across to tho other vessel; I think they will Iks safer and happier there," Tho captain would look down with Indignation, and sayt "Got out of tho way. or I will run you down." And then I would back oar, amidst the Jeering of two or three hundred cop1o looking over tho toffrnll. But tho Umbriii nud tho City of Paris meet under different circumstance nftor a while, Tho City of Paris is coming out of a cy clone; the llfo boats nil smashed; tho bulwarks gone; tlio vessel rapidly going down. Tlio boatswain gives his last whlstlo of d(wilrlng command. Tho pas sengers run up nnd down tlio deck, and sotno prny, nud all mnko a great outcry. Tho cap tain saysi "You havo about fifteen minutes now to prcnro for tho noxt world." "No hopel" sounds from stem to stern and from the rntltnes down to tho cabin. I sco tho dis tress. I nm let down by tho side of the Utu bila, I push off ns fast ns 1 can toward the sinking City of Paris. Before 1 como up peo plo nro leaping Into tho wnter lu their nuxloty to get to the boat, nnd when 1 havo swung up under tho side of tho City of Paris, tho frenzied passengers, rush through the gang way until tho olllcers, with nx nud clubs und pistols, try to keep back the crowd, each wanting his turn to como next. There is but ono llfo boat, und thoy nil want to get Into It, anil the cry 1st "Mouextl mo uextl" You sco the application before I make It, As long as a man going on lu his sin feels that all Is well, that ho Is coming out nt n beautiful port, nud tins nil sail set, he wants no Christ, he wants uo help, ho wants uo res cue; but If under the flash of God's convict ing spirit ho shnll sco that by rctivm of sin ho Is dismasted nud waterlogged nud going down Into the trough of a sen whero he cannot llvo, how soon ho puts the sen glass to his oyo and sweeps tho horizon, and nt tho first sign of help cries out: "I want to bo saved, I want to bo saved now, 1 want to bo saved for ever." No senso of danger, no application for rescue. Oil, FOIl A SKNHE OK OUlt SINFULNESS! Oh, that God's eternal spirit would Hash upon us n senso of our sinfulness! Tlio Illblo tolls the story lu lottersof flro, but wo got used to It, Wo joke nbout sin. Wo mnko merry over It, What Is sin! Is It n trilling thing! Sin Is a vampire that Is sucking out tho llfo blood of your Immortal nature, Hin! It Is n Bastilo that no earthly ky ever un locked. Sin! It Is expatriation from God and heaven. Shi I It Is grand larceny ngnlnst tho Almighty, for the Biblo asks tho question: "Will a man rob Godf" answering it In tho nfllrmatlvo. This Gospel is a writ of replovin to recover properly unlawfully detained from God. In tho Shetland Islands there Is a man with leprosy. Tho hollow of the foot lias swollen until it is lint on tho ground. The joints bo gin to fall away. Tho nnklo thickens until It looks llko the foot of n wild beast. A stare unnatural comes to tho eye. The nostril Is constricted. Tho volco drops to nn nlmost Inaudible. hoarsenesH. Tubercles blotch tho whole body, und from them thero comes nn exudation that Is uubcarnblo to tho beholder. That Is leprosy, nnd wo havo all got It unless cleansed by tho grace of God. Seo Leviticus. See II Kings. See Mnrk. Seo Luke, Seo fifty Biblo allusions nud continuations. Tho Biblo is not complimentary In its lan guage. It does not speak mliiclugly nliout our sins. It does not talk apologetically. There is no vermilion in Its style. It does not cover up our transgressions with blooming metaphor. It does not slug nbout them In weak falsetto; but it thunders out: "Tbo Im agination of man's heart is evil from his youth." "Every ouo has gono back. Uo lias altogether become filthy. IIo is nlomlnnbIo and filthy, and drinkcth In iniquity liko water." And then the Ixml Jesus Christ flings down nt our feet this humiliating cata logue: "Out of tho heart of men proceed ovil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, mur ders, thefts, blasphemy," Thero Is a toxt for your rationalist to preach from! Oh, tho dignity of human nature! There is an element of your science of man that tho anthropologist never has had the courage yet to touch; and tho Mole, in all the lus aud outs of tho most forceful style, sets forth our natural iollutlou, u:id ropiesonts Iniquity ns a frightful thing, us an exhausting thing, as a loathsome thing. It Is not a mere liemiiiug of tho feet, It is not a mere befouling of the hands; It is going down, head and ears uuder in u ditch, uutil our own clothes abhor us. WE MUST HIKE ABOVE HIN. My brethren, shnll wo stay down whero sin thrusts us! I shall not if you do. We can not afford to. 1 havo today to tell you that thero Is something purer thuu snow water; something more pungent than alkali, and that Is the blood of Jesus C'hrUt that cleuuseth from all sin. Ay, tho river of salvation, bright, crystalline and heaven born, rushes through this audience with billowy tido strong enough to wash your tins completely aud forever away O Jesus! lot tho dam that holds it back now break, and tho floods of salvation roll over us. Let tho water and tho blood, From thy utile a healing flood, nu of sin tho double cure, Sa u from wrath und uiako mo pure. Let us get down on both knees and batho In that flood of mercy. Ay, strike out with both hands and try to swim to tho other shoro of this river of God's grace. To you is tho word of tilts salvation setit. Take tills largess of tho diviuo bounty. Though you havo gone down In tho deepest ditch of libid inous desire und corrupt behavior, though you havo sworn all blasphemies until there is not one sinful word left for you to speak, though you have been submerged by tbo transgressions of a lifetime, though you are so far down lu your sin that no earthly help can touch your caso tho Lord Jesus Christ bcuds over you today and offers you his right baud, proposing to lift you up, first making you whiter than snow, imd then raising you to glories that nev er die, "Hilly," said Christian bootblack to another, "when wo como up to heaven It won't mnko any difference that we'vo been bootblacks here, for wo shall get In, not some how or other, but, Billy, wo shall get straight through tho guto." Ob, If you ouly know how full and free and tender is tho olfer of Christ, this day, you would all take him with out one single exception; and If all tho doors of this house were locked save ouo, nnd you were compelled to mnko egress by only ono door, and I stood thero nud questioned you, nnd the (Iihh1 of Christ had made the right Impression ukju your heart today, you would answer mo as you went out, ouo and nlh "Jesus U mine, mid I nm hisl" Oh, thnt this illicit lw tho hour when you would receive liin It Is not u Goskj1 merely for footpads u:d vagrants nud buccaneers, It is for .he highly x)IUhed nud tho educated nud ho rellued us well "Except u man lie born igaiu, ho cannot see tho kingdom of God." Wnatover may lo your Associations, And whatever your worldly refinements, I must tell you, as Moro God I expect to nuswer In tho last day, that If you nro not changed by tho graco of God you nro still down In tho ditch of sin, In tho ditch of sorrow, In the ditch of condemnation a ditch thnt empties Into a deeper ditch, tho ditch of tho lost.
