DR TALMAGE\S SERMON. BE0EUIT3 TO THE GREAT ABUT. The Sut.day Sermon as Dellvored by tbe Brooklyn Divine. T TEXT: \Pat on thn whole armor o) \God.\ —LSphesians vl., 11. • There is' in this text a great rattlo ol - fehielr'.s and helmots and swords. Soldier? are fettins ready for battle. W e have bad recently in this church new enlistments, and II shall address myself to; those in, this and other churches who are putting on the armot of Go.1, and who may feel themselves to b« as yet only raw recruits.' \Alasterly re treat\ is a term often usal in military cir cle?, but in rfllicion there is uo such thin j. It is either glorious advanco or disgraceful and ignominious falling back. I t would be a strange thing if all our anxiety about men ceased the moment they were converted. You would almost doubt tiie siuity of that farmer who, having planted the corn and seen it just sprout abovegroun I, should say. \My work is all done. I hive n j more anxiety for tho field.\ No . Tnera is work for the plow and the hoe, anJ there must be a careful heaping up of th> fences, and thero must be a frightening away of tho birds that would pillage the field. Audi say the entrance upon Christian lifo is only the lniplautution of prace in the heart. Thero is earnest, hard work yet to be done and perhaps many years of anxiety boforo thero shall be heard the glorious shout o£ \Harvest home.\ The bagiuuiug to b3 a Christian is only putting down th > foundation; but after that thero are years of hammering, polishinj, carving, lifting, beforo the structure is com pleted I t takes tivrf years to make a Chris tian character, i« takes twenty year?, i t takes forty yeaft, i t takes seventy year?, if a man shall live so long, in other words, a man dyiug after half a century of Christian experience feels that he has only learned tho \'A B CV of the glorious alphabet. Th e next year will decide n great deal in your history, young Christian man. I t will de cide wuether you are to be a burning and shilling light of tho church, or a spark of grace covered up in a barrel of ashes. I t will decide whether you are to be a strong mau in Christ Jesus, with gigantic blows striking the iron mail of darkness, or a be hrarfed, whinnmg, grumhliug soldier, that ou^ht to bo drummed out of the Lord's camp with tho \Rogues' -March.\ You have only juat bsen launchoi; the voyage is t o be made. Earth and heaven an 1 hell nro watching to see how Ia*t you will sail, how well you will weather tno temptest, and whetnernt last, amid tho shouting of augels, you shall come into the right, harbor Ma y God help me this morning to give you three or four words of Christian counsel, as I ad dress myself more especially to those who have just now entered the Christian life My lii'at word of counsel is, hold beforo yoursoula very high model Do not say, *'I wish I could pray like that man, or speak $ke this niun, or have tho consecration of this one.\ Say: \Hero is the Lord Jesus Christ, a perfei't pattern. By that I mean, with Ood's grace, to shape all my life.\ I n other word*, you will never bo any more a Christian than you strive to lie. I f you bull 1 a tou.i'lution twenty by thirty feet you ' P m will only have a small housn. If you build i aly have a small housr>. If yo a tbuudatiou one huudroi by one hundred feet you will have a InrgL- bull-*. If you re solve to be cidy a uid.llm^ Chi-iatian you will only ho a nucdling Christian. I f you Jia.ro uo hizh asp-ration in a worldly direc tion y .-ii will n.'ver .-.uccoed in liusiuess. I f you uavi) no bi„h aspiration m religious tlilug- you will never succeed in religion. You hiv.- a right to asjiiro to tho very ; .highest stylo of Christian character. ] From your twt thert reaches out a path | of Chi i-tm:i attainment which you may taki\ an 1 I deliberately say that you may be a be* tor man than was I'nul or David or tfummfrtMd ur Do'ldridgo—a better woman than Hannah More or Charlotte Elizjbitb. Why not' iJid they havo a monopoly of Christian grac?? Did they tiave a pnvato key to the -.torehouso of Ood's mercy? Does God shut you out from tin gladness and goolness to which they were inuoJu-el? Oh, no. You liave just the same promises, just tho sanu Llirist, ju«t tho same Holy Ghost, just th- SHIUL ' oilers of present ami ever lasting love, and if you fall short of what they were—aye, if you do not come up to the point which they reached and go beyond it—it is u >t <i't>nuse Christ has shut you out from any point of moral and spiritual eleva- : tioi:, I u- because you deliberately refused to ] taku it lalmittha t man cannot become a Christian like that without a struggle, but what do you gs without fighting for it? j The lortres-es of darkness are to be taken by ' Btorm Yo u may by acute strategy flank I tho hosts nt temptation, but there are temp- I ~ al >* compass and ho tries to pitch it oi tations. there are eviis in tho way that you 1 board, it is r.iateuiptible beyond evoryth will have to meet face to face, and it will bo I CDat ls contemptible Havo you any better shot for shot, gun for gun, grip for grip, slaujhte. lor sinujhter The apostle l'aul over and over again represents the i .Ohrist.a:i life as a eombat. ^.JJ'b'ti ths war vessel of Christ's church coa'tii - > ;lory bringing its crew and its passeng r-i it will not come in liko a North lliver yaoht.licautifully painted and adorned, swinging into the boatuouso after a pleasure exi-ursion Oh, no, it will bo like a vessel coming ^ ith a heavy cargo from China or Iniiu. the marks of the wavo and tho hurrt- catu upon it—sails rent, rigjing splicod, putn.is all working to keep her afloat, bul- •wnr.is knocked away. 1 see such a vessel coauu^ nn-t get out my small boatand push toward her, an 1 X shout: \Ahoy captain! \What are you going to do with those shivi ered timbers?

Ten thousand voices are lifted up asking (or your help. Go end help. 1 have another word of counsel to give those who have just Entered Christian life, and that is, be faithful in prayor. Yo u might as well, business men, start out In tha morning without food and expect to be strong all that day—you might as well abstain from food all the week and expect to bo strong physically, as to bo strong without prayor. The only way to got any strength into the soul is by prayor, and tho only difference between that Christian that is worth anything and that who is worth nothing is the fact that tha last does not pray and the other does. And the only difference between this Christian, who is getting along very fast in tho holy life, and this, who is only getting along tolerably, is that the first prays moro than the last. Yo u can graduate a man 's progress in religion b y the amount of g rayer; not by t^e number of hours, per- ap», but by the earnest supplication that he puts up to Go.'. There is no exception t o the rule. Show me a Christian man who neglects this kind of duty, and I will show you one who is inconsistent. Show me a man who prays, and his strength and his power cannot be exaggerated. Why, just give to a man this power of prayer and you give him almost omnipotence. This afternoon you will see two Sabbath school teachers. That one does not gain the attention of her class. This ono does. What is the difference between them, their intel lects being about equal. Tho first thought only of her own apparol. The other camo from great prostration before God in earnest supplication, asking that God's mercy might come upon tne school and that in the after* noon she might gam the attention of those five or six immortals that would be around hor. The ons toacher has no control over her class. The other sits as with the strength of the Lord God Almighty. Another word of couusel I have to givo Be careful in Bible research. A great many good books are now coming out. Wo can not read half of them,. At every revolution of tho printing press they are coming. They cover our parlor tab!e«, and are la our sit ting rooms and linrartes. Glorious books they are. W e thank God every day for the work of the Christian printm* prebS. But I havo thought that perhaps the followers of Christ sometimes allow this religious litera ture to take th^ir attention Irom God's Word, and that thero may not be as much Bible readin? as thjre ought to be. How is that with your own experience? Just calculate in your minds how mu:h re ligious literature you havo rea 1 during the year and then how Urge a po-tloa of the Word of Go l you have rea 1, an 1 then con trast the two aud answer within y.jur own soul whether you are giving more attention to tho books that were written by tho nan I of manor that written by the hand of God Now, you go to the drug store and you get the mineral waters, but you have notice 1 that the waters are not so fresh or spark ling or healthful as when yo*i g-t thesj very waters at sjarato^a and Sharon—getting them rigat where they bujble fro.u the rock And I have notice 1 the snn thing in re gard t > the truth of the (>ospi., waiie tiurj is a gjod deal of refreshment a.o I lmlta of the Gospel of GoJ a> it co.ue-. tarm'.i gooi book-, 1 fln I it is better when I c ni > to tho eternal roe'i of Gol's Wor I an 1 dnuk forth that fountain that tubules up Iresh aa i ouro to thj liloani tho re'rj-laient ani tad alth of the soul.
