So-called Christians Whoeure Afraid the, Boat Wilt Upset—Our Cowardice Makes Cs Poor Fishermen—The Further You are from Shore the Better if Your Ship is all Bight. Bitoofaxer, Oct. 2. ---Since his re- turn from Europe, N.Y.,r. Talmige has faced audience.* unusually large and enthusiastic, who are attached to the Tabeimacle no less by the potent eloquence of the preacher than from a desire to _hear from his own lips the message of thanks entrusted to him by the Czar to the contributors of the Christian. Herald famine cargo, which he and Mr. Klopsch conveyed to Russia in the steamer Leo. It is understood that Dr. Talmage has in pleparation a full account of the mission to Russia, as well as his own preaching tour to Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland. The text this morn- ing was taken from Luke v; 4: "Launch out into the deep." ( ,Christ, starting on the campaign of the world's conquest, was selecting his staff officers. There were plenty of students with high foreheads and white hands, and intellectual faces, and refined taste, in Rome and Jerusalem. Christ might have called into apostleship twelve book -worms, or twelve rhentorieians, or twelve artists. In- steacl he takes a group of men, who had tnever made a speech, never taken a lessou in belle -letters, never been sick enough to make them look delicate—their hands broad, clumsy and hard knuckled He chose* fishermen, among other reasons think, because they were physiccdly hardy. „ Rowing makes strong arms and stout f chests. Much climbing of ratlines makes one's head steady. A Galilee tempest wrestled men into gymnasts The opening work of the Church was rough work. Christ did not want twelve invalids hanging about him, complaining all the time how badly they felt. He leaves the delicate student. at Jerusalem and Rome for their motherland aunts to take care of, and goes down to the sea -shore, and out of the toughest material makes an apostleship. The ministry need more corporal vigor than any other class. Fine minds and good in- tentions are important, but there must be physical keine to back them. The intellect- ual millwheel may be well built and the grist good, but there must be enmfgh blood 6 in the mill -race to turn the one and grind. the other. He chose fishermen also, because they were used to hard knocks. The man who cannot stand assault is not fit for the min- istry: It always has been and always will be rough works. and the man who at every censure or caricature, sits down to cry, had better be at some other work. It is no p- lace for ecclesiastical doll babies. A man who cannot preach because he has forgotten his manuscript or lost his spec - tables, ought not to preach at all. Heaven deliver the Church from w ministry that preach in kid gloves, and from sermons of black morocco covers ! These fisher- men were rough and ready. They had been in the severest of all colleges. When they were knocked over by the main boom of the ship, they entered the "Sopho- more," when washed off by a great Faye, they entered. the "Jurnor ;" when {heating for two days, without food or drink, on a plank, they came to the "Senior," and when at last their ship dashed on the beach in a midnight hurricane, they graduated with the first honor. My text finds Jesus on shipboard with one of these bronzed men—Simon by name. • This fisherman had been sweeping his net in shoal water. "Puzh out," says Christ; "What is the use of hugging the shore in this boat? Here is a lake twelve miles long • and six wide, and it is all populated—just waiting for the sweep of yotir net. Launch out into the deep." The advice that my Lord gave to Simon • is as appropriate for us all in a spiritual sense. The fact is that most of us are just paddling along the shore. We are afraid to venture out into the great deeps of God and Christian experience. We think that the bot will be upset, or that we cannot. "clew down the mizzen topsail," and our cowardice makes us poor fishermen. I • think; hear the voice of Christ command- ing nit; as He did Shnon, en that day when bright Galilee set in .among the green hills of Palestine, like water flashing in an emerald .cup: "Launch out into the deep." This divine counsel comes, first, to all those who are paddling in the margin of Bible research. My father read the Bible through three times after he was eighty years of age, and without spectaeles ; not for the mere purpose of saying he had been through it so often, but for his eternal pro- fit. John Colky, the brother-in-law of Daniel Webster, teamed to read after he was eighty-four years of age, in order that he might becomeacquainted with the Scrip- tures. There is no book in the world that demands so mach of our attention as the I Bible. Yet nine -tenths of Christian men get no more than ankle deep. They think it is a good sign not to venture too far. They never ask how or why ; and if they see some Christians becoming inquistive about thndeep things of God, they say : "Be careful ; you had better not go out so far from shore." My answer is: The far- ther you go from shore thebetter,flyouhave the right kind of ship. If you have mere worldly philosophy for the hulk, and pride for a sail, :and self-conceit for the helm, the first squall will destroy you. But if you take the Bible for your craft, the farther you go the better ; and after you have gone ten thousand furlongs, Christ will still command : "Launch outinto the deep." Ask some such question as "Who is God V' and go on for ten years asking it. Ask it at the gate of every parable ; amidst the excitement of every miracle : by the solitariness of every patriarchal threshing - floor ; amidst the white faces of Sennacli- erih's slain turned up into the moonlight ; amidst the flying chariots of the Golden City. Ask who Jesus is, and keep on ask- ing it of every Bible lily, of every raven, of every star, of ee-ery crazed brain cured, of every blind man come to sunlight, of every coin in a fish's mouth, of every loaf that got to he five loaves, of every wrath- ful sea pacified, of every pulseless arm stretched forth in gratulation; ask •it of his mother, of Augustus, of Herod, of the Syro-PInteAcian woman, of the damsel that woke up from the death -sleep; of Joseph, 'who had Him buried; of the angel posted as sentinel at His tomb; of the dumb earth, that shook, and groaned, and thundered when He died. • A missionary in France offeted a Bible iu an humble dwelling. Tile man took it, tore out a dozen pages, and with them be- gan to light his pipe. Some years after the missionary happened in the same house. The family had just 'oat their son in the Crimean War, and his Bible had been sent back home. The missionary took it up, ▪ and saw that it was the very same Bible that he had left in the house, and from which the leave* had been torn. The dying soldier had writted on one of the leaves of the Bible ; "Rejected and tooffed come to sI new home, utitil-they know 'What is in every room, and into what every door opens.

THE CIGARETTE. its Virtues and Its•Viees as Portrayed by an Unfriendly Hand. Discoursing recently about anti -cigarette legislation, that honored contemporary, the Christian Union, protested that there had been a crusade againstthe cigarette as if it were a special evil and as if- all other to- bacco were innocent, where, as the truth was, the public attention ought not to be diverted from it, that it is the tobacco in the cigarette that is injurious, and not the • cigarette itself. • Now it is true enough that the cigarette • cannot do much harm after the tobacco is out of it, and it is also true that the tobacco can be used to injurious excess in divers other forms. •Nevertheless, there is a special devilment about cigarettes which the Chris- tian Union's experience seems not to have comprised. For it is a fact that an amount of tobacco which if smoked in a pipe or in the form of cigars would do the con- sumer no appreciable damage, is capable of restate distinctly injurious if smoked in the form of cigarettes. The reason lies mainly in the present tendency to inhale the smoke of cigarettes into the lungs. To inhale the sincere of a cigar or a pipe is very unusual. The smoke of. even a mild cigar is too strongforsuch use, andthe effect of the tobacco is obtained withaut it. But there is so little tobacco in a cigarette, and what there is is usually so mild, that in • order to get any good—more properly any bad—of it the smoke must be taken deeper into the system. A man sriay smoke a cigarette in the ordinary way and scarcely be conscious that he has smoked anything, but if he inhales the smoke he is instantly conscious that he has taken a narcotic stimulant. As it is about the cheapest of stimulants, so it is about the meanest and most despicable. It only lasts an instant, and commonly it leaves bebind a collapse, not of serious dimensions, but disproportionate to its cause. A cigar judiciously consumed often soothes the smoker's nerves and re- freshes his energies, stirring him from sil- ence to conversation, promoting his serenity, and producing a pleasant flow of thought and language. The effect, too, is lasting enough to be •comparable to that of food, and its stimulating qualities being slowly imparted are nbt followed by collapse. But there is no fhodeffectabout &cigarette. That is all spur and no oats • hence the common after-dinnee practice (smoking a cigarette first for the sake of its momentary intoxica- tion, and then a cigar for its more whole- some and lasting effect. , Considering what very poor things cigar- ettes are it is surprising that they should have got such a hold on the community. But, bad as they are, they are extremely fascinating. The use of them, when carried to excess'becomes a habit that is most diffi- cult to break, while they are so cheap and so convenient that it takes exceptional dis- cretion to smoke them at all without smok- ing them to a deleterious extent. Of course it is primarily because they are so cheap that they appeal so generally to boys; but even with boys, who ought not to be allow- ed to smoke at all, it is not so much the to- bacco in the cigarette that does the miechief as the pestilent and insinuating practice of inhaling the smoke. An ordinary boy of wholesome appetites won't smoke cigars or pipe • tobacco enough to do him serious da,mage even if he can get them. Nor would the cigarettes he might smoke be so serious a menace to his welfare if he would only smoke them as he would cigars. The trouble is that as soon as he •gets used to cigarette smoking he begins to inhale the smoke, and presently is fixed in a habitthat plays the mischief with him. Whether anything besides tobacco goes into the ordinary cigarette is a much -ilia - cussed question. The effect they sometimes produce on the brain is so different from that Pdue to tobacco in other forms as to favor the theory that many of them contain opium or valerian; but this the manufac- turers deny, usually asserting that such drugs are too expensive to put into cheap cigarettes, even if it helped their market- able 'qualities. One thing besides the to- bacco obvionsly goes into them, and that is the Paper, the fumes of which are doubtless bad for the throat and lungs as far as they go.— rper's Weekly. To Prevent Cholera Infantune. In a bulletin recently issued by the Bos- ton board of health in regard te cholera infantum it is stated that the disease is caused by bad milk, and directions are given for caring for the milk as follows' 'As scion as the milk comes put it in a glass bottle; Put the bottle in a kettle with a block of wood under it to prevent the bottom coming in contact with the kettle ; put water enough in the kettle to come half way uP,ithe Aide of the bottles;heat the water as hot?, as possible without boffin°.t' ; then take the kettle from the fire and cork the bottle; let the bottle remain in the kettle for half an hour ; then put the bot- tle in a cold place. This makes the milk safe without boiling. If possible use a rabbet stopple instead of a cork. The bot- tle and stopple inust be cleansed every day with boiling -water." Long Distance Photography. A London journal claims that long 'dis- tance photography is rendered quite a suc- cess by the new camera with a telescopic objective of Dr. Adolf Miethe. The object consists of a convex lens of considerable length of focus and a concave lens of short focus. These are placed a certain distance apart, depending on the difference of the two foci. By the law of optics this ar- rangement projects an inverted iinage of • oda object at a long distance from the lenses. The size of the object is greater the nearer the lenses are together, and the greater the difference between the foci. To obtain good images the lenses are of special form and achromatic. The whole camera looks very like a Galilean telescope. By substituting an ordinaryopera glass for the objective on the camera and drawing it out a fairly good picture will be obtained on the ground glass of the camera. •. . —A few weeks ago the authorities of Liverpool, the majority of whom this year are Conservatives, voted not to offer to Mr. Glad:tone the freedom of the city.
