TALMA'S SBRIJON. UK TElifjS THE PEOPLR OK ORE- CON ABOUT THE DANGER Ot"1 BEING CAST AWAY. ministers May Show Others the Way to fraltation and Yet be Lost . Themselves. Tkxt: "Lest that by any mean, I myself tnmua oe cast oway," Uor, ix., 7. In the presence of tou who live on the Fa- ' ciflc coast i who live on the Atlantic coast may appropriately speak on this marine allu sion 01 tne text, for all who know about the Boa know about the castaway. ' The txt , knnliea that ministers of re ligion may help others into heaven and yet miss it themselves. The carpenters that built Noah's arkr did not get into it them selves. Gown and surplice, and diplomas, and canonicals are no security. Cardinal Wolsey, after having been petted by kings, and having entertained foreign ambassadors , at Hampton Court, died in darkness. One of tho most eminent ministers of religion that this country has ever known, plunged into sin and died; his heart, by post-mortem examination, found to have been, not figuratively but literally, broken. , We may have hands of ordination on the head, and address consecrated assem blages, but that is no reason wby we shall necessarily reach the realm celestial. The clergyman must go through tho same gate of pardon as the layman. There have been cases of shipwreck where all on board escaped excepting the captain. Alas! if, ' 1 laving "preached to otners, I myself should be a castaway." God forbid it. I hare examined some of the commentaries to see what they thought about this word "castaway," and I find they differ in regard to the figure used, whilo they agree in regard to tho meaning. So I shall make my own se lection, and take it in a nautical and seafar ing sense, and show you that men may be come spiritual castaways, and how finally they drift into that calamity. " ' You and I live in seaboard cities. You have all stood upon the beach. Many of you have crossed the ocean. Somo of you have managed vessels in great, stress of weather. There is a sea captain, and there is another, and yonder is another, and there are a goodly number of you who, though once you did not know tho difference between a( brig and a bark, and between a diamond knot and a fprit sheet sail knot, and although you could not point out tho weather cross jack brace, and though you could not man the fore clew garnets, now you are as familiar will a ship as you are with your rigHt hand and if it were necessary you could take a vessel clear across to the mouth of the Mersey without the loss of a single soil. Well, there is a dark night in your memory v V.a ...... Tl. . V 1 ' You saw it was scudding toward the shore. You heard tho cry: "Breakers ahead) Land on the lee bowf The vessel 6truck the rock and you felt the deck breaking up under your feet, and you were a castaway, as when the Hercules drove on the coast of Caffraria, as 'when the Portu- 1 guese brig went staying, splitting, grinding, ' crashing on the Goodwins. But whether you have followed the sea or not, you all understand the figure when I tell you that there are men, who, by their sins and temptations, are thrown helphfs! Driven before the gale 1 Wrecked for two worlds I . Castaways 1 Castaways! . . ' By talking with somo sea captains, I have found out that there are three or four causes for such a calamity to a vessel. I have been told that it comes sometimes from creating falso lights on the beach. This was often so in olden times. It is not many years ago, indeed, that vagabonds used to wander ud and down the beach, getting vessels ashore in the night, throwing up falae lights in their presence and deceiving them, that they may despoil and ransack them. All kinds of lun-i utu iu i were usea w acconrpusn uns. And one night, on tho Cornish coast, when tho sea was coming in fearfully, some villains took a lantern and tied it to a horse, and led ' the horse up and down the beach, the lantern swinging to tho motion of the horse, and a sea captain in the offing saw it, and made up his mind that ho was not anywhere near the shore, for he said: "There's a vessel that must bo a vessel, for it has a movable light," and he had no apprehension till he beard the rocKs grating on tne snip s bottom, and it went to pieces and the viflians on shore gath- ered up the packages and treasures that were washed to the land. And I have to tell you that there are a multitude of souls ruined by falso lights on the beach. In the dark night of man's danger, false religion goes up and down tho shore, shaking its lantern, and men look off and take that flickering and expiring . wick as the signal of safety, and the cry is: "Heave the main topsail to the mast! All is well!" when sudden destruction cometh upon them, and they shall not escape So there are all kinds of lanterns swung on the beach philosophical lanterns, educational lan . terns, humanitarian lanterns. Men look at them and are deceived, when there is noth ing but God's eternal lighthouse of the Gos pel that can keep them from becoming casta ,. ways. Once, on Wolf Crag light house, they tried to build a cop per figure of a wolf with its mouth open, so that the storms beating into it, the 1 M 1 1 I 1 m At- . 1 j, . mariners that might be coming anywhere near the coast. Of course it was a failure. And so all new inventions for the saving of man's soul are unavailing. What the human race wants is a light bursting forth from the cross standing on the great head landsthe light of pardon, the light of comfort, the light of heav- en. You might better go to-night, and de stroy all the great light-houses on the dan rerous coasts the Barnegat lighthouse, the Fastest Rock lighthouse, the Sherry vore lighthouse, tho Longships lighthouse, tin Llolly head lighthouse than to put out God' 1 great ocoan lamp the Gospel. Woe to thoso who. swing falso lanterns 011 the beach till men crash into ruin. Castaways! Casta ways! By talking with sea captains I havo heard also that sometimes ships come to this calam ity by the sudden swoop of a tempest. For Instance, a vessel is sailing along in the East Indies, and there is not a single cloud on the sky; but suddenly the breeze freshens, and there are swift feet on the ratlines, and the cry is: "Way, haul away there 1" but before they can square tho booms and tarpaulin the hatchways, the vessel is groaning and creaking in the grip of a tornado and Tails over into the trough of the sea, mrtA KflMnJiMMn -St wxll. A Xl I 1. and keels over, leaving the crew to struggle in the merciless surf. Castaway ! Castaway ! ' And so I have to tell you that there are thou sands of men destroyed through the sudden swoop of temptations. Some great induce ment tO'Worldliness, or to sensuality, or to high temper, or to some form of dissipation, comes upon them. If they had time to ex amino their Bible, if they had time to consult with their friends, if they had timo to delib erate, they could stand it; but the tempta tion came so suddenly an euroclydcn on the Mediterranean, a whirlwind of tho Carib t;an. One awful surge of temptation and they . perish. And -, so we often hear tho , old story: "I hadn't seen my friend in a great many years. We wre very glad to meet. Ho said I must rlriuk and he took me by the arm and pressed me along, And filled the cup until the bub ble ran over the edge, and in an evil moment ill my good resolutions were swept away, mid to the outraging of God and my own soul, I fell.? Or the story is: 'I had hard work to support my family, I thought that bv one false entry, by ono deception, by one pmbezzlemonM might spring out free from r til my trouble; . and the temptation came upon mo so fiercely I could not deliberate. I did wrong and having done wrong cmr, I could not stop." O, it 13 the first step that costs; : tho ttoond is easier; mid the third; and on to tho la. Once having broken loose from the anchor, it is not ao wuf to tta tao parted strands. How often it is that men are ruit"d, for the reason that "tha temptation comes frri jsoma m wnrpeeteA-qnartor. Af vm,-!s lie in Margate IwwdAaftffffKWth W8f wLkH bv;t, tlif ifW SuwJwf"Jtta northeast, they are driven helpless and go down. O that God would have mercy upon those upon whom there comes the sudden swoop of temptation, lest they perish, becom ing castaways! castaways! By talking with sea captains, I have found out also that some vessels come to this cal amity through sheer recklessness. There are three million men who follow the sea for a living. It is a simple fact that the average of human life on the sea is less than twelve vears. This comes from the fact that men by familiarity with danger sometimes be come recxless the captain, the helmsman, the stoker, the man on the lookout, become reckless, and in nine out of ten shipwrecks, it is found that some one was awfully to blame. So I have to tell yow that men are morally shipwrecked through sheer recklessness. There are thousands who do not care where they are in spiritual things. They do not know which way they are sail ing and the sea is black with piratical hulks that would grapple them with hooks of steel and blindfold them and make $hem "walk the plank." They do not know what the next moment may bring forth. Drifting in their theology. Drifting in their habits. Drifting in regard to all their future. No God, no Christ, no settled antici pations of eternal felicity; but all the timo coming nearer and nearer t a dangerous coast. Some of them are on fire with evil habit, and they shall burn on the sea, tho charred bulk tossed up on the barren beach. Many of them with great troubles, financial troubles, domestic troubles, social troubles; but they never pray for comfort. With an aggravation of sin they pray for no pardon. They do not steer for the lightship that dances in gladness at the mouth of heaven's liar Dor: ' reckless as to whore they come out, drifting further from God, further from early religious influences, further from happiness; and what is the worst thing about it is, they are taking their families along with them, and the way one goes, the proba bility is they will all go. Yet no anxiety. 'As unconscious ot danger as the passengers aboard the Arctic one moment before the Vesta crashed into her. Wrapped up in the business of the store, not remembering that soon they must quit all their earthly pos sessions. Absorbed in their social po sition, not knowing that very soon they will have attended the last levee, and whir lea m the last schottishe. They do not deliberately choose to beruined; neither did the French frigate Medusa aim for the Arguin banks, but there it wont to pieces. 1 wish I could wake you up. The perils are so augmented, you will die just as certauuy as you sit there unless you bestir yourself. Are you willing to become a castaway? You throw out no oar. You take no surroundings. You watch no compass. You aro not calculating your bearings while the wind is abaft, and yonder is a long lino of foam bounding tb.9 horizon, and you will be pushed on toward it, and thou sands have perished there, and you are driv ing in tho same direction. Ready about! Down helm ! Hard down ! Man the life boat ! Pull, my lads, pull! "He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall be sud denly destroyed and that without remedy." But some of you are saying within your selves: "What shall I do?" Do? Do? Why. my brother, do what any ship docs when it "is in trouble. Lift a distress signal. On the soa there is a flash and a boom. You listen and you look. A vessel is in trouble. The distress gun is sounded, or a rocket is sent up, or a blanket is lifted, or a bundle of rags any thing to catch the eye of tho passing craft. So if you want to be taken, off the wreck of your sin, you must lift a dis tress signal. Tho publican lifted the dis tress sicnal when he cried: "God, be merciful to me a sinner !" Peter lifted the distress sirnnl when he said: "Lord, save me, I perish !" The blind man lifted the distress signal when he said: "Lord, that my eyes may be opened." Tho jailer lifted the distress signal when he said: "What must I do to be saved?" And help will never come to your soul until you lift some signal. You must make some demonstration, give somo sign, make some heaven-piercing outcry for help, lifting the distress signal for the church's prayer, lifting the distress signal for heaven's pardon. Pray! Pray! The voice of the Lord now sounds in your ears: "in Me is tny Help." too proua to raiso such a signal, too proud to be saved. There was an old sailor thumping about In a small boat in a tempest. The larger vessel had gone down. He felt he must die. The surf was breaking over the boat, and he said: "I took off my lite belt that it might soon be over, and J thought somewhat indistinctly about my friends on shore and then I bid them gooa-by like, and I was about cmking back and giving it up, when l saw a bright star. The clouds were breaking away, and there that blessed star shone down on me, and it seemed to take right hold on me; and somehow, I cannot tell how it was, but some how, while I was trying to watch that star, it seemed to help me and seemed to lift me." O, sinking soul, see you not tho glimmer be tween the rifts of the storm cloud? That is the star of hope. Deathstrnck, I ceased tho tlO to stem, When suddenly a star arose, It was tho star of Bethlehem! If thero are any here who consider them selves castaways, let me say God is doing everything to save you. Did you ever hear of Lionel Luken? He was the inventor of the insubmergiblo life boat. All honor is due to his memory by seafaring men, as well as by landsmen. How many lives he saved by his invention. In after days that invention was improved, and one day there was a perfect life boat, the Northumberland, ready at Kamsgato. Tho life boat being ready, to test it the crew came out and leaped on tho gun whale on one side to see if the boat would upset; it was impossible to upset it. Then amid the huzzas of ex cited thousands, that boat was launched, and it has gone and come, picking up a great many of the shipwrecked. But I have to tell you now of a grander launching, and from the dry docks of heaven. Worn came up that a world was beating on the rocks. In. the presence of the potentates of heaven the life boat of the world's redemption was launched. It shoved off tho golden sands amid angelic hosannas. The surges of dark ness beat against its bow, but it sailed on, and it comes in sight of us this hour. It comes for you, it comes for me. Soul ! soul ! get into it. Make one leap for heaven. Let the boat go past and your opportunity is gone. I am expecting that there will be whole families here who will get into that life boat. In 1833, tho Isabella came ashore off Hast ings, England. The air was filled with sounds the hoarse sea trumpet, the crash of the axes, and the bellowing ot the tornado, A boat from the shore came under the stern of the disabled vessel. There were women and children on board that vessel. Some of the sailors jumped into the small boat and said: "Now give ii3 tho children." A father who stood on deck took his first born and throw bim to tho boat. The sailors caught him safely, and the next, and the next, to the lost. Still the sea rocking, the storm howling. "Now," said the sailors, "now tho mother;" and she leaped, and was saved. The, boat went to the shore; but be fore it got to the shore the landsmen were so Impatient to help tho suffering people that they waded clear down into the surf with blankets and garments, and promisee of help and succor. So there are wholo families here who are going to be saved, and saved alto gether. Give us that child for Christ, that other child, that other. Give us the mother, give us the father, the whole family. They must all come in. All heaven wades in to help you. I claim this whole audience for God- I pick not out one man here nor one man there; I claim you alL There aro some of you who, thirty years ago, were consecrated to Christ by your parents ii baptism. Certainly I am not stepping over the right bound when I claim you for Jesus. Then there are many bore who have been socking God for a good while, and am X not right in claiming you for Jesus? Then there are some here who havo been further away, and yon drink, and you swear, and yon bring np your families without any God to tnke care of them when yon are doad. And I clniin you, my brother; I claim all of you. You will havo to proy sometime; why not l-'4iii now, whilo all the ripe and purplo d.Kkr c f V divine promise bend over Into your cup, rather than postpono your prayer until your chance is past, and tho night drops, and tho soa washes you out, and tho appalling fact shall be announced that notwithstanding all your magiiiQcent opportunities, you havo be come a, casta war. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Slnale-Handed a Desperado lloiuct . Up a Majro Coach. Black Bart's most daring deeds in the mountain passes ot California and Colorado were out done by a lone highwayman who held up and robbed the stage that runs be tween Gogebic, on the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railroad, just over the line In Michigan, and Gogebio Lake, a sum mer resort, where poople from the large cities speed dog days. As the stage was running along at a lively gait through a dense forest, when about two miles from the station a man jump.-d out in front of it, and, pointing two big navy revolvers at the driver, commanded him in gool old Western style to throw up his hands, at tba same time extending the same order to the four passengers inside the coach, with the further provision that they "shell out" all lo"e valuables and currency. O te ot . the passengers went down in his pocket, but instead ot b iuglng up his pock boon be clinched a pistol in bis hand and besan firing at the robber. The desperado immediately returned th fire, and although the driver whipped the horses into a mad llnn Ultt i ... n T1 TH a tokk eper in the First National Bank of Minneapolis, receiving tne nrst bullett in bis cheek, while a second went crashing through his leg. Anoines passenger, named A. G. Fieescbbaio, of Belleville, 111., was mortallv wounded. He raised up in the seat as the hors s were whipped away just iu time to receive a bullet in the bip. He fell forward and pitched over the side of tba coach into the roadway. The horses continued on a run, and the wounded man was left to take his chances with the robber. That villain threatened at first to kill him. but final! v desisted, after securing $37 and bis vjctira'j watch and chain. The wounded man lay bleeding in the road for three hours before anyone courageous enough to go to his suc cor was secured. He was taken to the hos pital at Bebsemer, but the lost nf blood was so great as to blight all hope of recovery. I here were two other passengers on the coach, but neither of them were molested. They were William Padden, of Chicago, and Robert Rinlout.of the Bank of Montreal, Chicago. The party was out on a fishing trip, and war composed of wealthy men. A description of the robber tallies to the letter, with that of the daring freebooter who went through a Northwestern train near Ellis Junction some time ago. LONDON'S GREAT STRIKE. Over One Hundred Thousand Work- ingmcn Now Idle. The strike situation at London is unchang ed. Ships are being unloaded at Chatamand Southampton without interference. Ths Lord Mayor has refused to becime arbitrator of the differences between the men and their employers, fearing lest it might conflict with bis judicial duties. The strikers now number 130,000. The coal porters at important centers are join! ig the strikers. Two hundred and fifty steamers are Irinir in the docks awaitine cargoes. Riverside factories, employing thousands of bands, are closing for lack of coal. Meetingsof employers and workmen con tinue to ! held, but without result. The directors of the Commercial Dock Company have declined an off r of the services of 3,000 Belgian laborers at 4,'d. per hour. The printers emoloytrd by the firms of Eyre & Spottiswoode, Cassell & Co. and Waterloo & Son have struck. One hundred thousand striking dock laborers marched in procession. They were orderly. The drivers of the government mail carts demanded an advance of wages, which the postoffice authorities granted. The London Chamber ot Commerce urges the dock managers to agree to arbitration. Seven members of the House of Commons, in an interview with the dock directors, ap pealed to them to concede the men's demands. The directors promised to consider the mat ter. There are a few vessels unloading in the Med way, to which the strike has not yet extended. The Salvation Army, the London Cottage Mission and similar bodies are ma terially assisting the strikers with cheap or gratuitous meals and lodgings. The coal por ters have rej icted an offer from the London Dock Company of a shilling an hour, dinner and beer, and protection from the strikers. A keynote showing the importance of th movement was struck by Mr. Burns at a meeting. He pronounced the strike the step stone to a greater and nobler movement of workingmn throughout the country. The present struggle would teach a lesson of union. When concluded, be would commence bis work in the East Eud. WRONGLY NUMBERED DEAD. A Man's Search ForH a Wife's Body iu a Johnstown Cemetery. Through the carelessoess of some of the employees the graves o flood victims in Grand View Cemetery do not correspond to the numbers on the morgue record. This was painfully illustrated, when James W. Shumuker, a merchant of the town, identi fied some jewelry as belonging to his wife, and when the grave corresponding to the number was opened the body was fouud to be that of a man. The bodies here were buried in trenches, and Mr. Shumaker had over thirty bodies in one trench lifted, hop that be might fiud his wife. At the Pros pect Hill Cemetery much more care was taken, and every grave corresponds to tho description on I lie morgue books. All Lue Chinamen iu town visited the cem etery and deposited rice, cooked sweet po tatoes bananas and tea on thegriwesof their two fellow countrymen who ere drowned. There is still much sickness and many deaths in the valley, the physicians iu the pluo ail being kept busy. The tree branch dispen sary of Hahnemann Medical College of Phil adelphia here treated two hundred and forty coses last week. An enthusiastic meeting was held by the business men, at which it was determined to bring suit against the South Fork Fishing Ciub. Speeches were made by a number of busiutss men, all strongly urging united action in tue nvitter. Oue thousand dollars was raised by subscription, and it was agreed that John Linton aul W. Horace Rose should be appointed to investigate thd esse. STARVED AND DRIVEN INSANE A Story of Atrocious Cruelty of Parents Toward Their Daughter. A horrible case of pi rental brutality is re ported from Mason City, V. Va. Miss Min nie Offenbeimsr was a beautiful young woman of 18 and the daughter of a promi nent and wealthy mm. A few months ago she met Edward Shoemaker, a well-known river operator, at a picnic, and the two loved at once. Shoemaker pressed his suit and was accepted. The paients of the young woman were furious when they learned of her engagement to Shoemaker. Miss Offn heimer refused to give bim up, and she wan SLibjeetel to horrible cruelties. Neighbors declare that she was locked in her room, half starved and beaten for weeks. Finally the neighbors interfered. " - The young womtn was rescued, but her re.isoa hud lieen dethroned. The case has excited greet indignation fhrpugbou.t 9 1, t'iiutj, Glore or Human Skin. v ."Gloves which are sold; as kit! are' often made of human skin," said a Phila delphia physiciarl recently. "The skin on the breast is soft and pliable, and may be used in the making of gloves. When people buy gloves they never stop to question about the material ol which they r made. The shop-keeper himsicif ii-y be in ignorance, and the purchaser has no means of ascertaining whether the material is human skin 01 not. The fact is. the tannine of human skin is extensively carried on in France snd Switzerland, The product is man ufactured into gloves, and these aro imported into this country. , Thus you see a person may be wearing part of a distant relative's body and not know it." Then the doctor drew from a drawei a brand-new pair of black gloves. "There," he said, "is a fine article made from the skin of a child. As the hide of a kid compares with that of a goat, so, of course, does the skin of a child compare with that of an adult, and it is much sought in France for glove purposes. "The skin on a man's back makes good sole leather," said the doctor. "Nature has protected man's spine by a skin which is much heavier than that on other parts of the body. Here is a piece of well-tanned skin from the calf of a man's leg." And the doctor displayed a bit of white leather, strong and thick. In a museum in Belgium are the bodies of six members of one family. They were all buried in a tan yard, and when they were exhumed, years afterward, the skin, flesh, and eVen the bones were well preserved, so thor oughly tanned were all tho parts. These specimens are in a better state of preservation than are the Egyptian mummies. A few years ago the tanning of hu man skin in Massachusetts was effec tually checked, and since that timo the business- lias ceased. The few samples of tanned human skin now ob tainable were made by scientists as an experiment. School Teacher's Experiences. School teachers have many funny experiences in the mountain districts of Tennessee and Kentucky. One teacher relates that one of his pupils was taken out of school because he en deavored to persuade him 'jtha the earth was round. His father would not have him taught Buch nonsense, and was so certain that the earth was flat that be challenged the teacher to a public debate. It lasted a week before crowded houses, and the jury disagreed. The man admitted that there were too rtrany hills and mountains for the earth to be exactly flat, and finally went eo far as to say that the earth "might be round this 'ere way" east and west) '' 'cause the people might fall off ; but it is not round that 'ere way" (mean ing north and south). What confusing reasoning he had in his head the teach er could not divine, but it convinced &t least half tho audience. It is remarkablo how moral courage will almost always overcome brute force. When Gen. Clarke was sub duing hostile Indians, he once had be fore him a chief wliose record was ono jf bloodshed and pillage, and who made it a boast that he feared no man. Clarke treated him with tho utmost jontempt, accused him of being a squaw who would never fight, and Anally had all his insignia of rank stripped off him. The savage, who bad always been accustomed to having people ennge before mm, was com pletely awed and humbled by this treatment, and begged for peace and pardon. He never gave the whites any further trouble. Conldence Besot of Success. I So confident are the manufacturers of that world-famed remedy.
