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

tnko you Just as you nro. Shall it Ik a flat

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

In his vision. Hut sluco tltnt Invention, thrco

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. Hut
