THE 1:6HTHYOLOGY :OF THE BIBLE EXPOUNDED. Continitation of Dr. Taltnag-e's Series • Discourses on "God Everywhere l'—Why the Story of Jonah and the Whale Must Be Set Down as True. BBOOKLYN, Feb. 5.—Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage this morning preached to a great audience in the Tabernacle, a remarkably interesting and eloquent sermon on "The Ichthytilogy of the Bible, or God among the Fishes," being a continuation of his series df discourses on "God Everywhere." The tat chosen was Genesis, 1-20 : "And God aid, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creatures that hath life." ,1 What a new book the Bible is ! After thirty -ix years preaching from it and dis- cussing over three thousand different, sub- jects *iunded on the Word of God, the Book io as fresh to me as when I learned, with d stretch of infantile memory, the short* verse in the Bible, "Jesus wept," and I ripened a few weeks ago a new realm of biblical interest that neither my pulpit nor aniTone else's had ever explored, and -having spoken to you in this course of sere mons Mi God Everywhere concerning the Astronomy of the Bible, or GoAmong the Stars the Chronology of the Bible, or God among the Centuries ; the Ornithology of the, Bible, or God among the Birds; the Mineralogy of the Bible, or God among the Aiiethysts, this morning, as I may be divine helped, I will speak to you about the Ichthyology oi the Bible, or God among the Fialies„. Cur horses are lathered and tired out, and their fetlocks were red with the blood cut min by the rocks, and I could hardly get feet out of the stirrups as on Satur- day night we dismounted on the beach of Lake Calilee. The rather liberal supply of food with which we had started from Jerusalem was well-nigh exhausted, and the articles of diet remaining, had, by oft repetition, three times a day for three week, ceased to apPetize. I never want to see a fig again, and dates with me are all out of date. For several days the Arab caterer. who could speak but half a dozen English words, would answer our requests for some of the styles of food with which we had been delectated the first few days, by cridng out, "Finished." The most pi- quant appetizer is abstinence, and the de- mand, of all the party- was, "Let us break- fast cin Sunday morning on fresh fish from Lake Gennesareth," for. you must know that the lake has four names, and it is worth a profusion of nomenclature, • and . it is in the Bible called Chinnereth. Tiberias, Genn6areth and Galilee. To our extem- porized table on Sabbath treareing came broiled perch, only a few hours before Lifted out of the sacred waters. It, was natural that our minds should revert to the only breakfast that Christ ever prepared, and it was on those very shores were we breakfasted. • Christ. bad, in those olden times, struck two flints together and set on fire sbrne shavings or light brush -wood, and then put on larger wood, and a pile of glowing bright cools was the consequence. Meanwhile, the disciples, fishing on the lake, had awfully "poor luck," and every time they drew up the net it hung dripping without a fluttering fin or squirming scale. But Christ, from the shore, shouted to them, and told them vyle to drop the net, and one hundred and fifty-three big fish rewarded them. Simon and Nathaniel hav- ing cleaned some of those large fish'brought therri to the coals which Christ had kind- led, and the group who had beeu out all night and were chill and wet and hungry, sat down and began mastication. All thaZ seene,came back to us when on Sabbath morning, December, 1889, just outside the ruinsof ancient Tiberias and within the sound of the rippling Galilee, we break- fasted, Now, is it not strange that the Bible imagery is so inwrought from the fish- erieswhen the Holy Land is, for the most . part, an inland region? Only three lakes two beside the one already. mentioned: namely, the,Dead Sea, where fish cannot live at all and as soon as they touch it they die, and the birds swoop on their tiny carcases,and the third, the Pools of Hesh- bon, which are alternately full and dry. Only three rivers of the Holy Land, Jab- bok, Kishon and Jordan. About all the fish now In the waters of the Holy Land are the Perch, the carp, the bream, the min- now, the blenny, the barbel . (so-called be cause of the barb at its mouth), the chub, the dog -fish, noire of them worth a Dela- ware shad or an Adirondack trout. Well, the world's geography has changed and the world's bill of fare has changed. Lake Galilee was larger and deeper and better stocked than now, and no doubt the rivers • were deeper and the fisheries were of far more importance then than now. Besides that, there was the .% editerranean SI only thirty-five miles away, and fish were eked or dried and brought inland, -and SD !much of that article of food was sold in Jerusa- lem that a fish market gave the name to one of the gates of Jerusalem near by, and it was called the Fish Gate. The cities had great reservoirs, in which fish. were kept alive and bred. The Pool of Gibeon was a fish -pool. Isaiah and Solomon refer to fish - pools. Large fish were kept alive and tied fast by ropes to a stake in these reservoirs,a. ring havingbeenrun through their gills, and that is the meaning of theScripture passage which says, "Canst thou put a hook into his nose} or bore his jaw through with a . thorn? ' So important was the fish that the god Dagon, worshipped by the Philis- tines, was made half fish and half man, and that is the meaning of the Lord's indigna- tion, when in 1st Samuel, we read that this Dagon, the fish -god, stood beside the ark of the Lord, and Dagon was by invisible hands dashed to pieces because the Philistines had dared to make the fish a god. That ‘ explains the Scripture passage, ' The head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off from the threshold ; only the stump of Dagon was left to him." Now the stump of 'Dagbn was the fish part. The top part, which was the figure of a man, was dashed to pieces, and the Lord, by de- mo ishing everything but the stump or fish a t of the idol, practically said, You may pat your fish, but know from the way I have demolished the rest of the idol that it is nothing divine. Layard and Wilkinson found the fish an object of idolatry all through Assyria and Egypt. The Nile was full of fish, and that explains the horrors of the plague that slaughtered the finny tribe all up and down that river, which has been and is now the main artery of Egypt's life. • In Job you hear the plunge of the spear into the hip- popotamus, as the great dramatic poet cries • out : "Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons or his head with fish spears ?" Yes, the fish began to swim in the very first book of Genesis, where my text records, "And God said, let the waters bring forth alsundantly the moving creature that hath life." Do you realize that the first living thing that God created was the fish? It preceded the bird, the quadruped, the hu- man race. The fish has priority of resi- dence over every living thing. The next thing done after God had kindled for our world the golden chandelier of the sun and the silver chandelier of the Moon was to make the fish. The first niotts:m • of the principle 1 Je groat rico:ses. Alt Itne attributes of the 1 finite God were dolled into action for t making of that first fish. Lanceolate a transulcent miracle 1 There is enough wo der in the plate of a sturgeon or in the ca tilage of a shark tie confound the scientis It does not take l the universe to prove God. A fish does it. No wonder tha Linnasus and Cuvier and Agassiz and t greatest minds of all the centuries sat raptured before its anatomy. Oh, i beauty, and the adaptedness of its structu to the element in which it must live ; t picture gallery on the sides of the mounta Trout unveiled as they spring up to snot the flies ; the Grayling, called the Flower Fishes ; the Salmon, ascending the Oreg and the Severn, easily leaping the falls th would stop them; the bold Perch, t Gudgeon, silver and black and spotted; td Herring, moving in squadrons five mil long ; the Carp, for cunning, called 1. Fox of Fishes; the wondrous Sturgeon formerly reserved, for the tables of roy families, and the isinglass made out of the membrane ; the Tench, called the phys cian of fishes because when applied human ailments, it is said to be curative the Lampreys, so tempting to the epicurea that too many of them slew Henry II aye, the whole world of fishes. Enough of them floating up and down the rivers feed the hemispheres if every ear of cm and every head of wheat and every herd quadruped, and if every other article food in all the earth were destroyed. Un versal drought, leaving not so much as spear ot grass on the round plane would leave in the rivers, and lakes, an seas, for the human race, a staple cm modify of food, which, if brought to shor would be enough not only to feed b fatten the entire human race. In times t come the world may be so populated th the harvests and vineyards and land at. malts may be insufficient to feed the hum family, and the nations may be obliged come to the rivers and ocean beaches t seek the living harvests that swiin th deep, - and that would mean more healt and vigor, and brilliancy, and brain, tha the human race now own. The Lord, beaplacing the fish in the fir coarse of the menu in paradise, making precede bird and beast, indicated to sl world the importance of the fish as a article of food. The reason that men an women lived three and four and five an nine hundred years was because they wer • kept on parched corn and fish. We mi • up a fantastic food that kills the most o us before thirty years of age. Custard and whipped sillabubs and Roman punche and chicken salads at midnight are a gaun let that few have strength to run. We pu on many a tombstone glowing epithe saying that the person beneath died o patriotic services or from exhaustion i religious work, when nothing killed th poor fellow but lobster eaten at a party fon hours after he ought to have been soun asleep in bed. There are men to -day in ou streets so many walking hospitals wh might have been athletes, if they ha taken the hint of Genesis in my text an of our Lord's remark and adhered to Him plicity of diet. The reason that the coun • try districts have furnished most of th men and women of our time who are do ing the mightiest work in merchandise, ii mechanics, in law, in medicine, in theology in legislative and congressional halls, an all the Presidents from Washington dow —at least those who have amounted to anythiug—is because they were in thos country districts of necessity kept on plai diet. No man or woman ever amounte to anything who was brought up on float ing island or angel cake. The world mus turn back to paradisaic diet if it is to ge paradisaic morals and paradisaic health The human race to -day needs more phos phorous, and the fish is charged and sur charged with phosphorus. Phosphorous thanwhich shines in the dark without burn ing. What made the twelve Apostles such stalwart men that they could endure any thing and achieve anything?'Next to divine inspiration, it was because they were nearly all fishermen and lived on iisl and a few plain condiments. Paul, though not brought up to swing the net and throw the line, must of necessi have adopted ! the diet of the populaCon among whom he lived, and you see the phosphorous in his daring plea before Felix, and the phos phorus in his boldest of all utterance before the Wiseacres on Mars Hill, and the phosphorus as he went without fright to • his beheading, add the phosphorus you see in the lives of all the Apostles, who moved right on undaunted to certain martyr- dom, whether to be decapitated or flung off precipices or hung in crucifixion. Phosphorus, shining in the dark with- out burning! No man or woman that ever lived was independent of ques- tions of diet. Let those Who by circum- stances are compelled to simplicity of diet, thank God for their rescue from the temptation of killing delicacies. The risen and women who are. to decide the drift of the twentieth century, which is only seven or eight steps e , are now five miles back from the rail station, and had for breakfast this morning a similar bill of fare to that which Christ provided for the fishermen disciples on the banks of Lake Galilee. Indeed the only articles of food that Christ by miracle multiplied were bread and fish which the boy, who acted as sutler to the seven thousand people of the wilderness, handed over—five barley loaves and two fishes. The boy must have felt, badly when called on to give up the two fishes which he had brought out alter having caught them himself, sitting with his bare feet over the bank of the lake and expecting to sell his supply at good profit, but he felt better when by the miracle the fish were multi- plied, and he had more returned to him than he had surrendered. Know, also, in order to understand the ichthology of the Bible that in the deeper waters, as those of the Mediterranean, there were monsters that are eXtinct. The fools who become fnfidels because they cannot understand the engulfment of the recreant Jonah in a sea monster, might have saved their souls by l studying a little. natural history. "ON" says some one, "that story of Jonah was only a fable.' Says others, "It was interpolated by some writer of later times." Others say: "It was a repro. duction of the story of Hercules devoured and then restored from the monster." But my reply is that history tells us that there were monsters large enough to whelm ships. The extinct iclithyosaurus of other ages was thirty feet long, and as late as the sixth century of the Chris- tian era, up and down- the Mediterranean there floated monster e compared svith which a modem whale was a sardine or a herring. The shark has again and agein been found to have swallowed a men en- tire. A fisherman on the coast of Turkey found a sea -monster which contained a 17(: - man and a purse of gold. I have seen in museums sea -monsters large enough to take down a prophet. But 1 have a better rea- son for believing the Old Testament, az- count, and that is that Christ said it was true and a type of His own resurrection, and I suppose He ought' to know. In Matthew, 12 chapter, 40 verse, Jesus Christ says : "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall ' the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." And that settles -it for me, and for any man who does not believe Christ a dupe and an im- poster. Notice also how the Old Testament writers drew similitude from the fisheries. remiah uses such imagery to prophesy Qe aceoraing to their rinds, as the faili of he the great sea, exceeding tnany." The ex- nd planation of which is that En-gedi and 11- -.En-eglaiin stood on thp banks of the Dead r- Sea, in • the waters of which no fish can te• live, but the prophet says that the time a will come when these waters will be regen- t crated and. they will be great places for he fish. Amos reproves idolatries by saying : en- "The day shall come upon you when He t8 will take you away with hooks and your re posterity with fish-hooks." Solomon, in he 14.1cclesiastes, declares that those captured in of temptation are as fishes taken in an evil ch net. Indeed, Solomon knew all about the of finny tribe, and wrote a treatise on Iclithy- on °logy, which has been lost. hat' i Furthermore, in order that you may e understand the ichthyology of the Bible, es you must' know that there were five ways he of fishing. One was by a fence of reeds and canes, within which the fish were 8' I caught. But the Heroidic government al forbade that on Lake Galilee, lest pleasure boats be wrecked by . the stakes driven. Another mode was by spearing; the to waters of Galilee so clear, good aim ; could be taken for the transfixin4- An- n other was by. hook and line, as where Isaiah says : "The fishers also shall of mourn, and they that cast angle into the to brook shall lament." And Job says : gic "Canst thou draw out leviathan with a °I hook ?" And Habakkuk says: "They take of up all of them with the angle." Another mode was by a casting net or that which a was flung from the shore. Another by a td drag net or that which was thrown from a boat, and drawn through the sea as the n" fishing smack sailed on. How wonderful net, all this is inwrought into the Bible imagery, and it leads me to ask in which mode are you and fishing, for the Church is the boat and the Gospel is the net and the soa is the world and the fish are the souls, and An - to God addresses us as lie did Simon and An- drew, saying : "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." But ne when is the best time to fish for souls? "' In the night. Peter, why did you say to n Christ, "We have toiled all the night and have taken nothing ?" Why did you not fish in the day -time ? He replies, "You it ought to know that the night is the best time ie for fishing? At Tobyhanna Mills, among 9 the mountains of Pennsylvania, I saw a d friend with high boots and fishing tackle, d starting out at nine o'clock at night, and I e said, "Where are you going ?" He answer- ed, "Going to fish." "What, in the night!" f He auswered, "Yes, in the night." So the vast majority of souls captured for God are 8 taken in times of revival in the night meet- t- ino. _ 'but be sure before you start out to the tl Gospel Fisheries to get the right kind of I bait. "But how," you say, "am I to get n it?" My answer is, "Dig for it." "'Where o shall I dig for ' it?" "In the rich Bible ✓ grounds. We boys brought up in the d country had to dig for bait before we ✓ started for the banks of the Raritan. We o put the sharp edge of the spade against d the ground, and then put our foot on the d spade, and with one tremendous plunge of our strength of body and will, we drove it in up to the handle and then turned over e the sod, We had never read Walton's - "Complete Angler," or Charles Cotton's In - 1 structions how to Angle for Grayling in a Clear Stream. We knew nothing about the modern redhackle, or the fly of orange -color mohair, but we got the right kind of bait. No use of trying to angle for fish or angle e for souls unless you'. have the right kind of O bait, and there is plenty of it in the d Promises, the Parables, the Miracles, the Crucifixion, the Heaven of the grand old t Gospel. Yes, not only must you dig for bait, but use only fresh bait. You cannot • do anything down at the pond with old angle worms. New views of truth. New views of God. New views of the soul: There are all the good books to help you dig. But make up your mind as to whether you will take the hint of Habuk- kuk and Isaiah and Job and use hook and - line, or take the hint of Matthew and Luke and Christ and fish with a net. I think many lose their time by wanting to fish 1 with a net, and they never get a place to swing the net ; in other words, they want to do Gospel work on a big scale or they will not do it at all. I see feeble-minded Christian men going around with a Bageter's Bible under their arm, hoping to do the work of an evangelist and use the net,while s they might be better content with hook and line and take one soul at a time. They are bad failures as evangelists ; they would be mighty successes as private Christians.. If you catch only one soul for God that will be enough to fill your eternity with cele- bration. All hail, the fisherman with hook and line 1 I have seen a man in roughest corduroy outfit come back from the woods loaded down with a string of finy treasures hurl* over his shoulder, and his game bag failed, and a dog alith his teeth carrying a basket filled with the surplus of an afternoon's angling, .and it was all the result of a hook and line ; and in the Eternal World there will be many a man and many a, woman that was never heard of outside of a village Sunday school or a prayer meeting buried in a church basement, who will come before the Throne of God with a multitude of souls ransomed through his or her instru- mentality and yet the work all done through personal interview one by one, one by one. You do not know who that one soul may be. Staupitz helped one soul into the light, but it was Martin Luther. Thomas Bilney brought salvation to one soul, but it was Hugh Latimer. An edge tool maker was the means of saving one soul, but it was John Summerfield. Our blessed Lord healed one blind eye at a time, one paralyzed arm at a time, one dropsical patient at a time, and raised from. the dead one girl at a time, one young inan at a time. Admire the net that takes In a great many at once, but do not despite the hook and line. of life, a principle that al fl the thousands of de fis th pr th En years since 'have not been able to define or analyze, the very first stir of life wa.s in a fish. What an hour that was when. in the Euphrates, the Gihon, the. Naos:, and th Hiddekel, the four rivers of Paradise, the Waters swirled with fins and brighteoed struction : "Behold, I will send for man hors. saith the Lord, and they shall fish em."
