Franle De Witt Talmage Preach- ed from the, followieg text ;—'1 Co inthiens in, 22, "Despise ye the church of God ?" I: would Ince to askyouthe ques- Hort evhica Paul asked• the Aon - churchgoers a Corinth. Tbe • world needs precisely the.thlogs that the chureli was orgardzed to supply, it made strength to ,resist temptation, it needs rules for the guidance of life, it needs support under afflic- tion, solaxe in bereavement and t hope of heaven after death. Al these blesaiogs come by •Claristianity It is therefore worth while inquirin what are the obstacles that kee men from coming into the church. "Well" says some one in auswe to the words of my text, "the ren son I despise the chunch ef Ood because th.ere are certain parts of tb Bible I do not understand. There- fore I will not profess to believe an what I cuot• comprehend." Now my friend, .suth a s•tatement is sine ply absrad. From such talk one Might suppose that the oely inex- plicable things in the whole universe are those recorded between the lids of holy writ. Why, there are whole. realms and -cycles and universes of facts in every direction yet entre.- versed and ithexplained. newt can- not focus the whole heavees-with ono telescope nor span infinity with the anite. Yee migbt as well try to build a range of mountains from Long Island to England by pitching pebbles into the Atlantic ocean or try to empty the Pacific dipplug up the waters with a sewing g•irl's thimble as to attempt to build up a system of science or to develop a belief in the Bible unless you are willing to accept S 92e things whieh YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN. Bun though statements my be made in the Bible which you and cannot understand, the silent truths, the Calvary truths, the convertiug truths, are all simply told truths. I defy any unbiased man to read the simple words- of the four gospels and remain blind to. then' meaning. No man can read the story of the prodi- gal son and fail to realize that God is represented by the aged father, that bis own sinful We is represent- ed by the sins of the younger son, that repentance and peace are repre- sented by the return home and • the divine love. and forgiveness by the ring and the fatted calf and ;the father's kiss. Spiritual life and deeper faith will come later. So, my brother, as m you belie in. God the Pother, God the Son and God theHoly Ghost ; as you believe that Jesus suffered and died upon the cross for our mos, as you believe that Christ has gone to heaven io prepare a dwelling place for those who are cleansed by his blood you believe all that is needed to qualify you to come into the church he es- tablished on earth. This was the saving belief of the Philippian jailer. to whom Paul said, "Believe ten the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house." A man is tot necessarily barred from the church of Jesus Christ because he does not fully understand all the Bible. He is received and welcomed because he believes that G od so loved the world that he gave Ids on- ly begotten Son, that whosoever be- lieveth on him sbould not perish, but have everlasting life." "Well," vmarts another man, "I do not join a the church becase of the inconsistencies. of s membel s . Some profess one thing and practice another. They say Christians ought to be kind and loving and gentle and helpful to their fellow church members. Then they demonstrate that some of the worst fights- on earth are church fights. The elder who prays the loudest in. prayer meeting may be the farmer who never comes out second hest in a horse trade, and the gossip of the sewing society is jest as merciless as the gossip at the ceub or in a elan - room. As long as the church is filled with hypocrites 1 do not want to join it." Y STOP, MBROTHER. • You know that sonic of the eery best men in every coumemMy ma members of the different Christian churches. You know, as well as - know, that though some of the church member:, may. be hypecrit es the vast major ey are men and wo- men who haee banded themselves together for the purpose of prayer and communion with God and of trying to make their fellowship bet- ter and purer and truer and More Christlike. There are thousands and tens of thousands of thurch members who are no more hypocrites Chart your Christian father and naotber, who were also members of a Christ- ian church, Were hypocriteo. What did you do when your little flaxen heired child died ? Did you take the Small white casket into a ballroom ? Did you heve her danc- ing' master pronounce the eulogy over her dead body I Did you leave her music' teacher sing. a song ? No; you took her to the church. You took her into the church where many prayers had been offeren. You did not have a, dancing Master pro- nounce a, eulogO over her white, still form. You called in the Christian minister for the last reveretit officee for your beloved dead.

I do not like him because he has lost one eye and one leg and one teem, but I do love him because by the grace of God, he is trying to struggle against his daily temptations, and bis spirit - eat deformitiee. So you will ,finti in the church of God to -day moral cripples. Theer are struggling every clay of their lives against sinful tomPtatioes; they keep on struggling e HEEP ON PRAYING, I keep ou reaching up to God ; keep • on staying in the church because g they know that Christ did not acme P to institute a church for perfect men. He came to heal the sick and r not the well. The church of God is - the great earthly spiritual hospital S where Christ, as the surgeon, loves e to set the crooked limbs; where Christ, as the spiritual opthalinolog- ist, loves to open the eyes that are blinded of sin. “Well," observes another heater, "the reason I do not join the church Is because I believe a mom can be just as good a Christina outside the church as inside." Now, I would not assert that all men who are non. churchgoers are unchristian men. John Newtou used to say: "When I get to heaven, I, than have three great surprises, One great surprise will be to find se mealy. people there I did not expect to see. The next surprise will be to find so meaty peo- ple absent, whom I expected to see, and the third 'great surpriee Will be to find that I got • to heaven Ony- self." • Like John Newton, wben most of us reach hea,veu—I pray we may all be there—I believe we will be very much surprised to find there some people. who never entered the church door,. and never 'publicly con- fessed their faith at the church al- tar. mad attractive.

The or- iginal is unlined, but the fitted foun- dation is an improvement to wools arid silks. The tieing is sraoothly fitted by means of single darts, shoulder, un- der -arm and centre back seams, and extends to the waist line ortly. The waist proper cortsists of fronts and neck and is fitted by means of shout - ler and under -arm seams. The back is plain and is drowo down in gath- ers at the waist line; but the fronts are laid in box plaits, that are atitehed fiat to yoke depth, and can be gathered at the waist line or left toe° to be adjusted to the figure as preferred.

But Oboist does demand thie: He does aemand that you profess and coofese hie love before men. And you cannot do that in a better way than at the church altar. Then let the most imminent Christiaa duty decide what you ought to do here- after.

When thou art come into the lanci which the Lord thy God giveth 11100, thou shalt not -learn to do af- ter the abominations of those na- tions. • Before the deluge God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the .earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Geo. vi, 5).

They were therefore to be a people separated from all the customs and idolatries , of the heathen, living' wholly for God, a peculiar treasure unto Rim above ell people on the earth (Ex. xix. 5, 6). . 10-12. All that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord. The next clause of this verse says that the nations which formerly oc- cupied this land were given to those abominatioes mentioned in the pre- vious verses, and because of these they were being driven out. There- fore Israel was to bewatc of and avoid all these things. It tem; 'be- cause of the wickedness of those na- tions that the Lord did drive them out of Israel and not because of any righteousness on the part of Israel (Delia ac, 4-6). He did all that He did for Israel for His own name's sake (Reek. xxxvi, 22), then in re- turn for all His loving kindeesees He only asked them to let Ilim d.o still there for them, or, in other words, He asked them to walk in His ways and serve Him, withall their heart , atid soul (Deut. x, 19, 18); for only thee could he clo More for them than 'He alrdady had done, 13, 14.
