Preach inlairesn4, SoOtland, Ireland
and Sweden—The Joy of Holy CarlositY
Is Know What is in the Life Beyond.
BitoOKLYN, N. Y., June 18, 18W2.—Rev.
Dr. Talmage is now on the Atlantic, having
sailed from New York on the 15th 'inst. for
Liverpool, for a preaching tour in England,
Scotland, Ireland and Sweden.. Before
visiting Sweden, Dr. Taltnage will go to
Russia, there to witness the reception and
disposition of the cargo of breadstuffs on
board the Christian Herald relief steamship
Lee, which sailed last week for St. Peters-
burg. Previous to his departure, he dictated
to his stenographer the tollowing farewell
sermon, to be read by the vast and widely
scattered audiences whom it is his weekly
privilege to address through the medium of
the newspaper press. He took his text from
ii. Timothy, 4, 6 :—"The time of my de-
parture is at hand."
Departure! That is a word used only
twice in all the Bible. But it is a word often
used in the court room, and means the de-
sertion of one course of pleading for another.
It is used in navigation to describe the dis-
tance between two meridians passing
through the extremities of a course. It is a
word I have recently heard applied to my
departure from America to Europe for a
preaching tour to last until September. In
a smaller and less significant sense than
that implied in the text I can say, "The
time of my departure is at hand." Through
the printing press I address this sermon to
my readers all the world over, and when
they read it I will be mid -ocean, and unless
something new happens in my marine ex-
periences I will be in no condition to preach.
But how unimportant the word departure
when applied to exchange of continents as
when applied to the exchange of worlds, as
when Paul wrote :—"The time of my de-
parture is at hand."
Now, departure implies a starting place
and a Place of desolation. When Paul left
this world, what was the starting point?
It was a scene of great physical distress.
It was the Tullianum, the lower dungeon of
the 3.iamertine prison, Rome, Italy. The
top dungeon was bad enough, it having no
means of ingress or egress but through an
opening in the top. Through that the pris-
oner was lowered, and through that came
all the food and air and light received. It
was a terrible place, that upper dungeon;
but the Tullianum was the lower dungeon,
and that was still more wretched, the only
light and the only air coming through the
roof, and. that roof the floor of the upper
dungeon.. That was Paul's last earthly
residence. I was in that lower dungeon in
November, '89. It is made of volcanic
stone. I measured it, and from wall to
wall it was fifteen feet. The highest of the
roof was seven feet from the floor, and the
lowest of the roof .five feet seven inches.
The opening in the roof through which
Paul was let down was three feet wide.
The dungeon has a seat of rock two
and a half feet high, and a shelf of rock
four feet high. It was there that Paul
spent his last days on earth, and it is there
that I see him now, -in the fearful dungeon,
shivering, blue with the cold, waiting for
that old overcoat which he had sent for up
to Troas, and which they had not yet sent
down, notwithstanding he had written for
it.
If some skilful surgeon should go into
that dungeon where /°aul is incarcerated,
we -might find out what are he prospects
of Paul's living through the rough. im-
prisonment. In the first place he is an old
man, only two years short of seventy. At
that very time when he most needs the
warmth and the sunlight and the fresh air,
he is shut out from the sun. What are
those scars on his ankles? Why, those
were gotten when he was fast, his feet in
the stocks. Every time he turned, the
flesh on his ankles started. What are
those scars on his back? You know he
was whipped five times, each time getting
thirty-nine strokes—one hundred and
ninety-five bruises on the back (count
them) made by the Jews with rods of elm
wood, each one of the one hundred and
ninety-five strokes bringing the blood.
Look at Paurs face and look at his arms.
Where did he get those. bruises? 1 think
it wan when he was struggling ashore
amidst the shivering timbers ot the ship-
wreck. I see a gash in Paul's side. Where
did he get that? I think he got that in
the tussle with highwaymen, for he had
been in peril of robbers, and he had money
of his own. He was a mechanic as well as
an apostle, and I think' the tents he made
were as good as his sermons.
There is a wanuess about Paul's looks.
What makes that I think a part of that
came from the fact that he was for twenty-
four hours on a plank in the Mediterranean
Sea, suffering terribly, before he was res-
cued; for he says positively, "I was a
night and a day in the deep.' Oh, worn-
out, emaciated old man! surely you must
be melancholy; no constitution could en-
dure this and be cheerful. But I press my
way through the prison until I come up
close to where he is, and by the faint light
that streams through the opening -I see on
his face a supernatural joy, and I bow be-
fore him, and I say, "Aged ina.n, how oa.n
you keep cheerful amidst all this gloom ?"
His voice startles the darkness of the place
as he cries out, "I am now ready to be
offered, and the time ot my (lc parture is at
hand." Hark! what is this shuffling of
feet in the upper dungeon ? Why, Paul
has an invitation to a banquet, and he is
going to dine to -day with the king. Those
shuffling feet are the feet of the execu-
tioners. They come and they cry down
through the hole of the dungeon, "Hurry
up, old mash Come now; get yourself
ready." Why, Paul was ready. Hehad
nothing to pack up. He had no baggage
to tak-c. He had been ready a eshal
I see him rising up, and straigritening out
his stiffened limbs, and pushing back his
white hair from his creviced forehead, and
see him looking up through the hole
in the roof of the dungeon into the faces of
his executioners, and hear hfin say, "I am
now ready to be offered, and the time of my
departure is at hand." Then they lift him
out of the dungeon, and they start with
him to the place of execution. They say,
"Hurry along, old man, or you will feel the
weight of our spear. Hurry along." "How
far is it,'' says Paul, "we have to travel ?"
"Three miles." Three miles is a good way
for an old man to travel after he has been
whipped and crippled, with nialtreatment.
But they soon get to the place ot execution.
—Acqute Salvia—and he is fastened to the
pillar of martyrdom. It does not take any
strength to tie him fast. He makes 110 re-
sistance. 0 Paul, why not rem strike for
your life? You have a great many friends
here. With thas withered hand just launch
the thunder -bolt of the people upon those
infamous soldiers No! Paul was not going
to interfere with his own coronation. He
was too glad to go. I see him looking up
in the face of his executioner, and, as the
grim official draws his sword, Peal calmly
says, "1 am now ready to be offered, and
the time of my departure is at hand." But
I put my hand over my eyes. I want not
to see that last struggle. One sharp, keen
stroke, and Paul does go to the banquet,
" and Paul does dine with the king.
What a. transition it was! From the
malaria of Rome to the finest climate in all
the universe—the zone of eternal beauty
and health. His ashes were put in the cata-
combs of Rome, but in one moment the air
of heaven bathed from his soul the last
ache. Fromshipwreck and dungeon, from
the biting pain of the elrnwood rods, from
the sharp sword of the headsman. he trees
into :tne most brilliant assemblage of
heaven, a king among kings, multitudes of
the sainthood rushing out and stretching;
forth hands of welcome; for I do really
think thatfraa on the right hand of God is
Christ, sonn Mot rigWhand' of Child is
Paul, the ifecondireat
4changed kiDgo likewise. Before the
hoof death, asktl. up to the fiat :ailment,
be was under No, the thich.neokeflt the
cruilt-eyed, the filthy -lipped; the ecutptured
features of that man bringing doivirtto us
to this very day the possibilities of his na-
ture—seated as he was amidst pictured
marbles of Egypt, under a roof adorned
-with mother-of-pearl, in a dining -room
which by machinery was kept whirling day
and night with most bewitching magnifi-
cence.; his horses standing in stalls of
solid gold, and the ground around his pal:
ace lighted at night by its victims, who had
been bedaubed with tar and pitch and then
set on fire to illume the ilarkness. That
was Pant's king. But the l next moment he
goes into the realm of Him whose reign is
love, and 'whose courts aregpaved with love,
and whose throne is set on pillars of love,
and whose sceptre is adorned with jewels
of love, and whose palace is lighted with
love, and whose lifetime is an eternity of
love. When Paul was leaving so much on
this side the pillar of martyrdom to gain so
much on the other aide, do you wonder at
the cheerful valedictory of the text, ."The
time of Inv departure is at hand ?"
Now, why cannot all the old people have
the same holy glee as that aged, man had?
Charles I., when he was combing his head,
found a .gray hair, and he sent it to the
queen as a great joke ; but old age is really
no joke at all. For the last forty years you
have been dreading that which ought to
have been an exhilaration. You say you
most fear the struggle at the moment the
soul and body part. But millions have en-
dured that moment, and may not we as
well? They got through with it and so
can we. Besides this, all medical men
agree in saying that there is probably no
struggle at the last moment—not so much
pain as the prick of a pin, the seeming signs
of distress being altogether involuntary.
But you say' "It is the uncertainty of the
future." Now,' child of God, do not play
the infideh After God has filled the Bible
till it can hold no more stories of the good
things ahead, better not talk about uncer-
tainties.
But you say, "I cannot bear to think of
parting from friends here." If you are
old, you have more friends in Heaven
than here. Just take the census. Take
some large sheet of paper and begin to
record the names of those who have emi-
grated to the other shore; the companions
of your school days, your early business
associates, the friends of midlife, and those
who more recently went away. Can it be
that they have been gone so long you do
not care any more about them, and you do
not want their society? Oh, no. There
have been days when you have felt that
you could not endure another moment
away from their blessed companionship.
They have gone. You say you would not
like to bring them back to this world of
trouble even if you had the power. It
would not do to trust you. God would
not give you resurrection power. Before
to -morrow morning you would be rattling
at the gate of the cemetery, crying to the
departed, "Come back to the cradle where
you slept! Come back to the hall where
you used to play.! Come back to the table
where you used to sit r and there would be
a great burglary in heaven. No, no. f.,4-od
will not trust you with resurrection power;
but He compromises the matter, and says,
"You can not bring them where von are,
but you can go where they are." They
are more lovely now than ever. Were
they beautiful here, they are more beauti-
ful there.
Besides that, it is more healthy there
for you than here, aged man; Isetter
climate there than these hot summers and
cold winters and late springs; better hear-
ing; bette:f eye -sight; more tonic in the
air; more perfume in the bloom; more
sweetness in song. Do you not feel, aged
man, sometimes as though you would like
to get your arm and foot free? Do you
not feel as though you would like to throw
away spectacles and canes and crutches?
Would you not like to feel the spring and
elasti-Fity and mirth of an eternal boyhood?
When the point at which you start from
this world is old age, and the point to
which you_go is eternal juvenescence, aged
man, clap your hands at the anticipation,
and say, in perfect rapture of soul, "The
time of my -departure is at hand."
I remark again, all those ought to feel
this joy of the text who have a holy
curiosity to know what is beyond this
earthly terminus. And who has not any
curiosity about it? Paul, I suppose, had
the most satisfactory view of heaven, and
he says, "It doth not appear what we shall
be." It is like looking through a broken
telescope; "Now we see through a glass
darkly." Can you tell me anything about
that heavenly place? You ask me a thou-
sand questions about it that I cannot an-
swer. I ask you a thousand questions about
it that you cannot answer._ And do you
wonder that Paul was so glad when mar-
tyrdom gave him a chance tO go over and
make discoveries in the blessed country.
I hope some day, by the grace of God,
to go over and see for myself; but, n -�t
now. No well man, no prosperous man, I
think, wants to go now. But the time will
come, I think, when I shall go over. I
want to see what they do there, and I want
to see how they do it. I do not want
to be looking through the gates ajar
forever. I want them to swing wide open.
There are ten thousand things I want ex-
plained—about yon, about myself, about
the government of thiti world, -about God,
about everything. Nire start in a plain path
of what we know, and in a minutat come up
against a high wall. of what we do not
know. I wonder how it looks over there.
Somebody tells me it is like a paved city. --
paved with gold; and another man tells me
it is like a fountain, and it is like a tree,
and it is like a triumphal procession ; and
the next ma,n I meet tells me it is all figur-
ative. I really want, to know, after the
body is resurrected, what they wear ani
what they eat ; and I have an immeasurab e
curiosity to know what it is, and how it is,
and where it is. Columbus risked his life
to fity this continent, and shall we shudder
to go out on a voyage of discovery which
shall reveal a vaster and more brilliant
country? John Franklin risked his life to
find a passage between the icebergs, and
shall we dread to find a passage to eternal
summer? Men in Switzerland travel up
the heights of the Matterhorn with alpen-
stock, and guides, and rockets, and ropes,
and getting half -way up, stumble and fall
down in a horrible massacre. They just
want to say they had been on the top of
those high peaks. Andhall we fear to go out
for tne ascent of the eternal hills which start a
thousand miles beyond where stop the high-
est peaks of the Alps, when in that ascent
there is no peril? A man doomed to die
stepped on the scaffolds and said in joy,
"Now in ten minutes I will know the great
secret." One minute after the vital func-
tions ceased, the little child that died last
night knew more than Jonathan Edwards,
or St. Paul himself, before he died. Friends,
the exit from this world, or death, as you
please to call it, to the Christian is glorious
explanation. It is demonstration. It is
illumination. It is sunburst. It is the
opening of -all the windows. It is shutting
up the catechism of doubt, and the unrolling
of all the scrolls of positive and accurate
information. Instead -of standing at the
foot of the ladder and looking up, it is
standing at the top of the ladder and look-
ing down. It is the last mystery taken out
of botany, and geology, and astronomy,
and theology. Oh, will it not be grand. to
have all questions answered? The per-
petually recurring interrogation -point
changed for the mark of exclamation. All
riddles solved. Who will fear to ao out or
snag, GLSOOVt317, *omen an tne questions are
to be decid$ which, we have been discussing
all our lives? Who shall not clap his hands
in the anticipation of that blessed country,
if it be no ; bitter than through holy curi-
osity crying, "The time of my departure is
At hand ?"
I remarkagar!), we ought to have tht
joy .of the text, because, leaving this world
we move inko the best society of the .uni-
verse. Yon see a great crowd of people in
some street, and you say, "Who is passing
there? What general, what prince is going
up there ?" Well, I see a great throng in
heaven. I say, "Who is the focus of all
that admiration? Who is the centre 01
that glittering company ?" It is Jesus, the
champion of all worlds, the favorite of all
ages. Dosyou know what is the first ques-
tion the soul will ask when it comes through
the gate of heaven? I think the first ques-
tion will be, "Where is Jesus, the Saviour
that pardoned my sin; that carried my
sorrows; that fought my battles; that won
my victories ?" 0 radiant One! how I
would like to see Thee-! Thou of the man-
ger, but without its humiliations ; Thou of
the Cross, but without its pangs; Thou of
the grave but without its darkness.The Bible intimates that we will talk
with Jesus
with a brot
him first?
what I von
n heaven just as a brother talks
er. Now, what will you ask
I do not know. I can think •
d ask Paul first if I saw him in
heaven. I think I would like to hear him
describe the storm that came upon the ship
when there were two hundred and seventy-
five souls on the vessel, Paul being the only
man on board cool enough to describe the
storm. There is a fascination about a ship
and the sea that I never shall get over,
and I think I would like to hear him talk
about that first. But when I meet my
Lord Jesus Christ, of what' shall I first de-
light to hear :him speak.? Now I think
what it is. I shall first want to hear the
tragedy of his last hours; and then Luke's
account of the crucifixion, and Mark's ac-
count of the crucifixion, and John's account
of the crucifixion will be nothing, while
from the living lips of Christ they shall
be told of the gloom that fell,and the devils
that arose, and the fact that upon his en-
durance depended the rescue of a race; and
there was darkness in the sky, and there
was darkness in the sou!, and the pain be-
came more sharp, and the burdens became
more heavy, until the mob began to swim
away from the dying vision of Christ, and
the cursing of the mob came to His ear
more faintly, and His hands were fastened
to the horizontal_ piece of the Cross, and.
His feet were fastened to the perpendicular
piece of the. Cross, and His head fell for-
ward in a SWoon as He uttered the last
moan, and cried, "It is finished !" All
heaven will stop to listen until the story is
done, and every harp will be put down,
and every lip closed, and all eyes fixed upon
the divine narrator until the story is done;
andthen, at the tap of the baton, the. eter-
nal orchestra will rouse up; finger on string
of harp, and lips to the mouth of trumpet,
there shall roll forth oratorio of the Mes-.
siah, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to reoeive blessing, and riches and honor,
and glory, and power, world without end !"
What he endured, oh, who can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell!
When there was between Paul and that
magnificent..Personage only the thinness
of the sharp edge of the sword of the ex-
ecutioner, do you wonder that he wanted
to go? 0, my Lord Jesus, let one wave
of that glory roll Over us! Hark! I hear
the wedding -bells of heaven ringing now.
The marriage of the Lamb has come, and
the bride hath made herself ready. And
now for a little while good-bye! I have
no morbid feelings about the future. But
if anything should happen that we never
meet again in this world, let us meet
where therelare no partings. Our friend-
ships have been delightful on earth, but
they will be more delightful in heaven.
And now I eommend you to God and the
Word of His grace, which is able to build
us up, and give us an inheritance among all
them that are sanctified.
Fishing
,
A youth beside the water its,
The noonday sun is warmly beaming;
His nose and neck are turkey red,
His eye with radiant hope is gleaming.
He watches biose the bobbing cork
Advance 'Own the tiny billows:
A jerk, a swish, and high above
• lie lands a sucker in the willows.
That's fishing.
A fair maid trips the tennis court,
A dozen_ eyes admire her going;
Her black -and -yellow blazer burns
A hole right throngh the sunset's glowing.
She drives the ball across the net,
And into hearts consumed with wishing
She drives a dart from Cupid's bow ;
Shell land a sucker, too. She's fishing.
• That's fishing.
The politician on his roUnds
Tackles both workingman and granger;
He tries to make them think that he
.A lone can save the land frosn danger.
He chucks the baby on the chin,
He says- your wife looks really youthful,
-And, though you know you're fifty-five,
You look just twenty—if he's truthful.
That's fishing.
My little wife beside me stands
And steals a diuipled arm around me;
A kiss upon my lips—that's bait—
Some information to astound me,
Her bonnet is quite out of style,
Her sununer warp quite past the using;
That lovely one—so cheap -7 -at Brown's
Is just the one she would be choosing.
That's fishing.
So, whether the game be fish or men,
The bait be kisses, worms or blushes—
The place at home, by sunny pool,
Or tennis ground at evening's hushes—
'Tis the old game the serpent played
With Mother Eve in Eden's bowers,
And Adam's sons and daughters all
Will love the sport to time's last hours.
That's fishing.
History of a Phrase.
The phrase, "Robbing Peter to pay
Paul," is supposed to have originated in an
incident which occurred in London during
the sixteenth century. About, the year
1540 the Abbey of St. Peter in Westmin-
ster was elevated to the dignity of a cathe-
dral, and ten years later --.was again joined
to the diocese of London and its property
appropriated to pay the expenses of some
necessary repairs to the Cathedral of St.
Paul. It was evident that to do honor to
St. Paul the estate of Peter had to suffer,
t'and hence the expression which has become
proverbial.
—Guy Simpeoe, teller of the Bank of
Commerce in Montreal, was drowned on
Saturday night, 18th inst.
—Mr. Alexander McBilligan sold,'" the
other day, to Mr. Martin Andrich, of Galt,
three very fine spring lambs. They were
scarcely eleven weeks old, and weighed 112,
108 and 103 pounds respectively.
—A few iyeats ago Mrs. Andrew Mc-
Ilwraith,of Galt, brought out from Scotland,
as a present, for Mr. Wm. Cowan, of West
river road, some seed of the Scotch broom.
Mr. Cowan sowed the seed which started
finely, and this season the plant is in. full
bloom and very pretty.
—Mr. Thomas Shaw, professor of agricul-
ture at the Ontario Agricultural College at
Guelph, has consented to act as judge of the
dairy breeds of cattle at the Winnipeg In•
dustrial Exhibition. He will also visit
the shows at Brandon and Portage Is
Prairie.
—Tbe application of Mr. John A. Brooks
for a mandamus to compel the Detroit,
Lansing and Northern Railroad to sell
1,000 -mile tickets, good when presented by
any member of the purchaser's fainily, in
accordanee with the law of 1889 and 1891,
has been made a docket case for the October
term of the court. The railroad company
has been given until August 1st to tile its
answer. The outcome of this case will be
watched with a deal of interest by the
traveling public.
