If We Could Only See a Reflection of Our hearts the World Would Indeed he Dotter-The Truths of Jesus Christ Are Forever InterPating. BROOKLYN , Oct 28.-Rev. Dr. Tal- mage , who has left India and is now on his homeward journey , has selected as the subject of his sermon to-day through the press : "The Looking Glass , " his text being Exodus , 38 : viii : "And he made the laver of brass , and the foot of it was of brass , of the looking glasses o1 the women as- sembling. , , . We often hear about the gospel in John and the gospel in Luke , and the gospel in Matthew ; but there is just as surely a gospel of Moses , and a gospel of Jeremiah , and a gospel of David. In other words Christ is as certain to be found in the Old Testament as in the New. When the Israelites were marching through the wilderness , they carried their church with them. They called it the tabernacle. It was a pitched tent ; very costly , very beautiful. The frame work was made of forty-eight boards of acacia wood set in sockets of silver. The curtains of the place were purple , and scarlet , and blue , and fine linen , and were hung with moat artistid loops. Tile candlestick of the tabernacle - nacle had shaft , and branch , and howl of solid gold , and the figures of cherubim that stood there had wings cf gold ; and there were lamps of gold , and snuffers of gold ; so that scepticism has sometimes asked : Where did all that precious material come from ? It is not my place to furnish the precious stones , it is only to tell that they were there. I wish now more especially to speak of the laver that was built in the midst of that ancient tabernacle. It was a great basin from which the priests washed their hands and feet. The water came dowp from the basin in spouts and passed away after the cleansing. This laver or basin was made out of the looking glasses of the women who had frequented the tabernacle - nacle , and who had made these their contribution to the furniture. These looking glasses were not made of glass , but they were brazen. The brass was of a very superior quality , and polished until it reflected easily the features of those who looked into it. So that this laver of looking glasses spoken of in my text did double work ; it not only furnished the water in which the priests washed themselves , but it also , on its shining , polished surfaeepointed out the spots of pollution on the face which needed ablution. Now , my Christian friends , as everything in that ancient tabernacle was suggestive of religious truth , and for the most part positively symbolical of truth , I shall take that laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text as all suggestive of the gospel , which first shows us our sins as in a mirror , and then washes them away by divine ablution. Oh , happy day , happy day , When Jesus washed my sins away l I have to say that this is the only look- lug glass in which a man can see himself - self as he is There are some mirrors that flatter the features , and make you look better than you are. Then there are other mirrors that distort your features , and make you look worse than you are ; but I want to tell you that this looking glass of the gospel shows a man just as he is. When the priests entered the ancient tabernacle one glance at the burnished side of this laver showed them their need of cleansing ; so this gospel shows the soul its need of divine washing. "All have sinned , and come short of the glory of God. " That is one showing. "All we , like sheep , have gone astray. " That is another showing. "From the crown of the bead to the sole of the foot there is no health in us. " That is another showing. The world calls these , defects - fects , imperfections , or eccentricities , or erratic behavior , or "wild oats , " or "high living ; " but the gospel calls them sin , transgression , filth-the abominable thing that God hates. It was just one glance at that mirror that made Paul cry out , "Oh , wretched man that I am , who shall deliver me from the body of this death ? " and that made David cry out , "Purge me with hyssop , and I shall be clean ; " and that made Martin Luther cry out , "Oh , my sins , my sus ! " I am not talking about bad habits. You and I do not need any Bible to tell us that bad habits are wrong , that blasphemy and evil speaking are wrong. But I am talking - ing of a sinful nature , the source of all bad thoughts , as well as of all bad actions. The apostle Paul calls their roll in the first chapter of Romans. They are a regiment of death encamp- lug around every heart , holding it in a tyranny from which nothing but tile. grace of God can deliver it. If you could catch a glimpse of your natural heart before God , you would cry out in amazement and alarm. The very first thing this gospel does is to cut down our pride and self-sufficiency. If a man does not feel his lost and ruined condition before God , he does not want any gospel. I think the reason that there are so few conversions - sions in this day is because the tendency - dency of the preaching is to make men believe that they are pretty good any- how-quite clever , only wanting a little 'fixing up-a few touches of divine grace , and then you will be all right ; instead of proclaiming the broad , deep truth that Payson and Whitefield thundered to a race trembling on the verge of infinite and eternal disaster. "Now , " says some one , "can this really 'be true ? Have we all gone astray ? Is there no good in us ? " In Hampton court I saw a room where the four walls , were covered with looking . a.a . 1 / glasses ; and it made no difference which way you looked , you saw yourself. And so it is in this gospel of Christ. If you once step within its full precincts , you will find your whole character reflected ; every feature of moral deformity , every spot of moral taint. If I understand - stand the word of God , its first announcement - nouncement is that we are lost. I care not , my brother , how magnificently you may have been born , or what may have been your heritage or ancestry , you are lost by reason of sin. "But , " you say. "what is the use of all this- of showing a man's faults when he can't get' rid of them ? " None ! "What was the use of that burnished surface to this laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text , if it only showed the spots on the countenance and the need of washing , and there was nothing to wash with ? " Glory be to God , I find that this laver of looking glasses was filled with fresh water every morning , and the priest no sooner looked on its burnished side and saw his need of cleansing , than he washed and was clean-glorious type of the gospel of my Lord Jesus , that first shows a man his sin , and then washes it all away ! I want you to notice that this laver in which the priest washed-the laver of looking glasses-was filled with fresh water 'every morning. The ser vants of the tabernacle brought th water in buckets and poured it intc this laver. So it is with the gospel of Jesus Christ ; it has a fresh salvation every day. It is not a stagnant pee ] filled with accumulated corruptions. It . is living water , which is brought from the eternal rock to wash away the sins of yesterday-of one moment ago. "Oh , " says some one"Iuasa Christian twenty years ago ! " That does not mean anything to me. What are you now ? We are not talking , my brother - er , about' pardon ten years ago , but about pardon now-a fresh salvation. Suppose a time of war should come , and I could show the government that I had been loyal to it twelve years ago , would that excuse me from taking an oath of allegiance now ? Suppose your ask me about my physical health , and I should say I was well fifteen years ago-that does not say how I am now. The gospel of Jesus Christ comes and demands present allegiance , present fealty , present moral health ; and yet how many Christians there are seeking to live entirely in past experience - perience , who seem to have no experience - ience of present mercy and pardon ! When I was on the sea , and there came up a great storm , and officers and crew and passengers all thought we must go down , I began to think of my life insurance , and whether , if I were taken away , my family would be cared for ; and then I thought , is the premium - mium paid up ? and I said , yes. Then I felt comfortable. Yet there are men who , in religious matters , are looking back to past insurance. They have let it run out , and they have nothing for the present , no hope nor pardon- falling back on the old insurance policy of ten , twenty , thirty years ago. If I want to find out hour a friend feels toward me , do I go to the drawer and find some old yellow - low letters written to me ten or twelve years ago ? No ; I go to the letter that was stamped day before yesterday in the postoffice , and I find how he feels toward me. It is not in regard to old communications we liadt with Jesus Christ , it is communications we have now. Are we not in sympathy with him this morning , and is he not in sympathy with us ? Do not pond so much of your time in hunting in the wardrobe for the old , worn out shoes of Christian profession. Come this morning and take the glittering robe of Christ's righteousness from the Savior's hand. You say you were plunged in the fountain of the Savior's mercy a quarter of a century ago. That is nothing to me ; I tell you to wash now in this laver of looking glasses and have your soul made clean. When our civil war had passed the government of the United States made proclamation of pardon to the common soldiery in the confederate army , but not to the chief soldiers. The gospel of Christ does not act in that way. It says pardon for all , but especially for the chief of sinners. I do not now think of a single passage that says a small sinner may be saved , but I do think of passages that say a great sinner - ner may be saved. If there be sins cnly faintly hued , just a little tinged , so faintly colored that you can hardly see them , there is no special pardon promised in the Bible for those sins ; but if they be glaring , red like crimson - son , then they shall be as snow. Now , my brother , I do not state this to put a premium upon great iniquity. Imerely say this to encourage that man , whoever - ever he is , who feels he is so far gone from God there is no mercy for him. I want to tell him there is a good chance. Why , Paul was a murderer ; he assisted at the execution of Stephen ; and yet Paul was saved. The dying thief did everything bad. The dyinge thief was saved. Richard Baxter swore dreadfully ; but the grace of God met him and Richard Baxter was saved. It is a vast layer. Go and tell everybody to come and wash in it. Let them come up from the penitentiaries and wash away their crimes. Let them come up from the alms houses and wash away their pov- erty. Let them come up from their graves and wash away their death. If there be any one so worn out in sin that he can not get up to the laver , you will take hold of his head and put your arms around him ; and I will take hold of his feet , and we , will plunge him in this glorious Bethesda , the vast laver of God's mercy and salvation. In Solomon's temple there were ten laver. and one molten sea-this great reservoir - voir in the midst of the temple filled with water-these lavers and this molten - ten sea adorned with figures of pain. branch , and oxen , and lions , and cher- ubim. This fountain of God's mercy is a vaster molten sea than that. It h adorned not with palm branches , bt . . . . , . . . . a. . - . .a a _ - , a..roo- . . with tha wood of the cross ; not' with cherubim , but with the wings of the Holy Ghost ; and around its great rim all the race may come and wash in the molten sea. I was reading the other day of Alexander the Great , who , when lie was very thirsty and standing - ing at the head of his army , had brought to him a cup of water. Be looked off upon leis host and said , "I can not drink this , my men are all thirity"rand ; lie dashed it to the ground. Blessed be God ! there is enough water for all the host-enough for captains and host , "Whosoever will may come and take of the water of life freely"- a laver broad as the earth , high as the heavens , and deep as hell. Oh , my dear friends , l wish I could coax you to accept this gospel. If you could just take one look into this laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text , you would begin now spiritual ablu- tion. The love of Christ-I dare not , toward the close of my sermon , begin to tell about it. The love of Christ ! Do not talk to me about a mountain ; it is higher than that. Do not talk to me about a sea ; it is deeper than that. An artist in his dreams saw such a splendid dream of the' transfiguration of Christ that he awoke and seized his pencil , and said , "Let me paint this and die. " Oh , I have seen the glories of Christ ! I have beheld something of the beauty of that great sacrifice on Calvary , and I have sometimes felt I would be willh g to give anything if I might just sketch before you the wonders - ders of that sacrifice. I would like to do it while I live , and I would like to do it when I die. "Let me paint this and die ! " He comes along weary and worn , his face wet with tears , his ' brow crimson with blood , and he lies down on Calvary for you. No. I mistake. Nothing was as comfortable as that. A stone on Calvary - vary would have made a soft pillow for the dying head of ClirWt. Nothing so comfortable as that. IIe does not lie down to die ; lie stands up to die ; his spiked hands outspread as if to embrace - brace a world. Oh , what a hard end for those feet that had traveled all over Judea on ministries of m. rcy ! What a hard end for those hands that had wiped away tears and bound up broken hearts ! Very hard , oh dying .Lamb of God ! and yet there are those who know it and who do not lve thee. , They say , "What is all that to me ? What if he does weep , and grosn. and die ? I don't want him. " Lord Jesus Christ , they will not help thee down from the cross ! The soldiers will come and tear thee down from the cross , and put their aims around thee and lower thee into the tomb ; but they will not help. They see nothing to move them. Oh dying Christ ! turn on them thine eyes of affection now , and see if they will not change their minds ! And that is all for you ! Oh , can you not love him ? Come around this layer , old and young. It is so burnished you can see your sins ; and so deep you can wash them all away. Oh , mourner , here bathe your bruised soul ; and sick one , here cool your hot temples in this laver. Peace ! Do not cry any more , dear soul ! Pardon for all thy sins , comfort for all thy afflictions. The black cloud that hung thundering over Sinai has floated above Calvary , and burst into the shower of a Savior's tears. HERE AND THERE. A Spaniard recently arrived in Amaca , Mexico , and secured permission - sion to search for the buried treasure of an old band of brigands. He found an iron box full of coins nearthe foundation - dation of the cathedral. Rumor puts the contents at $500,000. A schooner went ashore off the coast of Maine recently and the captain - tain and crew abandoned her to get aid. In the meantime the schooner worked off the sandbank and sailed away , going several hundred miles before being picked up by a steamer. A doctor who was passionately fond of cards was called to the bedside cf a patient. He pulled out his watch , felt the sick man's pulse and began to count. "seven , eight , nine , ten , jack , queen , king , ace. " The patient immediately burst out laughing and got well again. A custom that has existed for several - eral centuries is still maintained in some towns on the lower Rhine. On Easter Monday-auction day-the town crier or clerk calls all the young people together and to the highest bidder sells the privilege of dancing with the chosen girl , and her only during the entire year. The fees flow into the public poor-box. Burglars lately broke into the house of an old gentleman in Paris , and after helping themselves to the silver and valuables gave him a lecture on his wickedness in hoarding up capital which belongs to society in general. The papers in telling of the robbery spoke of a bundle of securities worth 0,000 francs which the thieves had overlooked , and that night they called again at the house , demanded the securities and carried them off. Professor Leslie says that water , at a depth of 302 miles , would be of the density of quicksilver , and that air at a depth of only thirty-four miles would be as thick and heavy as water. It is true that the are ignorant of the laws of compression beyond a depth of a paltry few thousand feet , but i' is believed that water at the center of the earth would be as dense as lead , and that a block of steel four feet square would be reduced to the size of a child's A B C block.
