I3eholdeth His Natural Face In a Glass, but God Has Provided One Which 1:Reveals the Man at Heart, and With It an Infinite Release.• BROOKLYN, Oct. 28. -Rev. Dr. Tal- mage, who has left India and is now on his homeward journey, has selected as the subjeot of his sermon today through the press "ThoLooking Glass" his text be- ing Exodus xxxviii, 8, "Andho made the laver of brass, and the foot Of it was of brass, of the looking glasses of the women assembling." We often hoar about the gospel in John, And the gospel in Luke, and the gospel in Matthew, but there is just as surely a gos- pel of Moses, and a gospel of Jereminb, aand a gospel of David. In other words, Christ is as certainly to be found in the tOld Testament as in the New. • ' When the Israelites were marching through the wilderness, they carried their church with them. They called it the tabernacle. It was a pitched tent, very costly, very • beautiful. The framework was made of 48 boards of acacia wood set In sockets of silver. 'Ile curtains of tho 'place were purple .and scarlet and blue and fine linen and were hung with most artis- tic loops. The candlestick of that taber- nacle had shaft and branch and bowl of solid gold, and the figares of cherubim that stood there had wings of gold, and there were lamps of gold, and snuffers of gold, and tongs of gold, and rings of gold, so that skepticism has sometimes asked, ,Where did all that precious material mane from? It is not my place to furnish the precieue stones. It is only to tell that they were there.. - I wish now more especially to speak of the laver that was built in the midst' of that ancient tabernacle. It was a great. basin from which the priests washed their hands and feet. The water came down from the basin in sponts and passed away after the cleansing. This laver, or basin, was made out of the looking glasses of the women who had -frequented the tabernacle, and who had made these -their contribution to the furniture. These looking glasses were not made , of glass, but they were brazen. The brass was of a very superior quality and polished until it reflected eas- ily the features of those who looked into It, so that this laver of looking glasses spoken -of in my text did double work -it not only furnished the water in which tho priests washed themselves, but it also, on its shining, polished surface, pointed out the spots of pollution on the face which needed ablution. Now, my Christian friends, As everything in that ancient tab- ernacle was suggestive of teligious truth, and for the most part positively symbol- ical of truth, I shall take that laver of look- ing glasses spoken of in the text as all sug- gestive of tho gospel, which first shows us our sins as in a mirror and then washesr them away by divine ablution.. . Oh, happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away! No Deceit or flattery. I have to say that this is the only look- ing glass in which a man can see himself as he is. There aro sonic mirrors that flatter `the featureaand make you look bet- ter than you aro. Then there are other mirrors that distort your features and raakeyou look worse than you are, but I want to tell you that this looking glass of the °gospel shows a man just as he is. When the priests entered the ancient tab- ernacle, one glance at the burnished side of this laver showed them their need of cleansing, so this gospel shows the soul Its need of divine washing. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.," That is one showing. ."All we, like " sheep, have gone astray." That is another showing. "From the crown of the head to the sole of the foot there is no health in us." That is another showing. The world calls these defects, imperfec- tions, or eccentricities, or erratic behavior, or "wild oats," or "high living," but the gospel calls them Sin, transgression, filth -the abominable thing that God hates. It was just one glance at that mirror that made Paul cry out, "Oh, wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" and that made David cry out, "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean," and that made Martin Luther cry out, "Oh, my sins, my sins!" I am not talking about bad habits. You and I do not need any Bible to tell us that bad habits are wrong; that blas- phemy and evil speaking are wrong, but I am .talking of a sinful nature, the source of all bad thoughts as well As of all bad actions. Tho Apostle Paul calls their roll In the first chapter of Romans. They are a regiment of death encamping around every heart, holding it in a tyranny from which nothing but the grace of God can deliver it. Here, for instance, is hagratitude. Who has not been guilty of that sin? If a man hand uS a glass of water, we say, "Thank you," but for the 10,000 mercies that we aro every day receiving from the hand of God how little expression of gratitude - for thirst slaked, for hunger fed, for shel- ter and sunshine and sound sleep and clothes to wear, how little thanks! I sup- pose -there are men 50 years of ago who have never yet beeh down on their knees 14 thanksgiving to God for his goodness. Besides that ingratitude of our hearts there is pride -who has not telt it? -pride that will not submit to God, that wants Its own way, a nature that prefers wrong sertnetimes instead of right, that prefers to wallow'instead of rise up. I do not care what you call that. I am not going to quarrel with any theologian or any man who makes any pretensions to theology. I do not care whether you call it "total de- pravity" or something else, I simply make the announcement of God's word, affirmed and confirmed by the experience of hun- dreds of Christian people, the imagination of the heart of man is evir from youth. "There is none that doeth good -no, not one." We have a bad nature. We were born with it. We got it from our parents. They got it -from their parents. Our thoughts are wrong, our action is wrong our whole life is obnoxious to God before conversion, and after conversion not one good thing in us but th-at. which the grace of God has planted and fostered. "Well," you say, "I can't believe that to be so." Ah, nay dear brother, that is because you have never looked into this laver of look- ing glasses; The Natural Heart of Man. If you could catch a glimpse of your natural heart befoxe God, you would cry out in amazement and alarm. The very first thing this gospel does is to cut down our pride and self sufficiency. If a man does not feel his lost and ruined condition before God, he doe.s not want any gospel. I think the reason that there aro so few conversions in this day isiebecause the tend- ency of the Preaching is to make [nen be- lieve that they aro pretty good anyhow- eadteselovenesenly - wanting a, littip.fireinar up -a few touches of divine- grace, and then you will be all right, instead of pro- claiming the broad, deep truth that Pay- son and Whitefield thundered to a race trembling on tho. verge of infinite and eternal disaster. "Now," says some one, "can this really be true? .Have we al] gone astray? Is there no good in us?" In Hampton Court I saw a room where the tour walls were Covered with looking glasses, and it niede no difference which vray you .toottect you saw yOurseit. Ana SO it is in thisa gospel of Christ. If. -you once step within its full precincts, you will find your whole character reflected - every feature of moral deformity, every spot of moral -taint. If I understand the word of God, its first announcement is that we are lost. I care not, nay brother, how magnificently you may have been born, or what may;have been your heri- tage or ancestry, you are lost by reason of sin. "But," you .say, "what is the use of all this, of showing a man's faults when he can't get rid of- them?" None! "What was tho use of that burnished sur- face to this laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text if it only showed the spots on the countenance and the need of wash- ing and there was nothing to wash with?" Glory be to God! I find that this laver of looking glasses was.filled with fresh water every morning, and the priest no sooner looked on its burnished -side and saw his need of cleansing than he washed and WOE clean -glorious type of the gospel of my Lord Jesus, that first shows a man his sin and then washes it all away! I want you to notice that this laver hi which the priest washed, the laver of look- ing glasses, was filled with fresh water every morning. The servants of the tab- ernacle brought the. water in buckets and poured it into this laver. So it ie with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has a fresh sal- vation every day. - It ;lot a, stagnant pool filled with accumulated corruptions. It is living water, which is brenght from the eternal rock to wash away the sins oi yesterday, of ono 'eminent ago. 'Oh," says some one, "I was a Christian 20 years ago." That does not mean anything tc me. What are you now? We are not talk- ing, my brother, about pardon ten years ago, but about pardon now, a feesh salva- tion. Suppose a thne of war should come, and I could show the government that had been loyal to it 12 years ago, would that eXCLIS0'1110 from taking an oath of al- legiance now? SuPposo you ask me about my physical health, and I should say lavas. well 15 years ago, that does not say how I am now. Tho gospel of Jeeus Christ comes and demands present allegiance, present fealty, present moral libalth, and . yet how many Christians there are seek- ing to live entirely in past experience:, whc seem to have no experience Of present mercy and pardon! Need of Present Help. When I was- on the sea'and there cams up a great storm, and officers ;and crew and passengers all thought we must gc dew.u, I began to think of any life insur- ance and whether if I were taken awaj my family would be cared for, and- then thought, Is the premium paid up? and l said, "Yes." Then felt comfortable. Yet there aro mon who in reliz,ious mat - tors are looking back to past insurance. They have let it run out, and they have nothing for tho present, no hope nor par- don, falling back on the old insurance policy of 10, 20„80 years ago. If I want to find out how a friend feels towardme, do I go to the drawer and find some old yellow letters written to me 10 or 12 years ago? No; I go to the letter that was stamped tho day before yesterday in tho postoffice, and I find how he feels toward me. It is not in regard to old communications WE had with .Tesus Christ. It is communica- tions we have now. Are we not in sympa- thy with him this morning, and is he not in sympathy with us? Do not spend sc much of your tine in hunting in the wardrobe for the old, wornout shoes of Christian profession. Como this morning and take the glittering robe of Christ' righteousness from the Bayiour's hand. You say you were plunged in the fountain of the Saviour's mercy a quarter of a con- . tury ago. That is nothing to me. I tell you to wash now in this laver of looking glasses and have your soul made clean. I notice also, in regard to this laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text, that the priests always washed both hands and feet. The water came down in spouts, se that, without leaving any filth in the ba- sin, the priests washed both hands and feet. So the gospel of Jesus Christ must touch the very extremities of our moral nature: - A man cannot fence off alma) part of his soul and say, "Now, thia is tc be a garden in which I will have all the fruits and flowers of 'Christian character, while outside it shall be the devil's com- mons." No, no. It will be all garden or none. I sometimes hear people say, "HE is a very good man except in politics." Then he is not a good man. A religion that will not take a man through an autumn election will not be worth anything to him in June, July and August. They say he is a useful sort of man, ,but he overreaches In a bargain.. I deny the statement. If he is a Christian anywhere, he will be in his business. It is very easy to be good in the prayer meCt- ing, with surroundings kindly and blessed, but not so easy to be a Christian behind the counter, when by ono skillful twitch of tho goods you can hide a flaw in the silk so that the custother cannot see it. It is very easy to be a Christian with a psalm- book in your hand and a Bible in your lap, but:, not so easy when you can go In' t� a shop and falsely tell the merchant you can get those goods at a cheaper rate in another store, so that he will :sell them tc you cheaper than he can afford to sell them. The fact is the religion of Christ is all pervasive. If you rent a house, you expect full possession of it. "You say: "Where are the keys of those rooms? If 1 pay. for this whole house, I want possessior of those rooms." And the grace of God when it cornea to a soul takes full posses- sion of a man or gees away and takes nc possession. It will ransack every room in the heart, every room in the life, frorn cellar to attic, touching the very extremi- ties of his nature. The priests washed hands and feet.. A Fountain For All Uncleanness. I remark, further, that this laver of look- ing glasses spoken of in the text was E very large laver. I always thought, from the fact that so many washed there, and also from the fact that Solomon after ward, when he copied that laver in tin temple, built it on a very large scale, that it was large, and so suggestive of the goa plo of Jesus Christ and salvation by him -vast in its provisions. The whole world may come and wash in this laver and be clean. When our civil war had passed, tbo gov- ernment of the United States made proo larnation of pardon to the common sol- diery in the Confederate army, but not ta the chief soldiers. The gospel of Chrisi • does not act in that way. It says pardor for all, but especially for the chief of sin., nera. I do not now think of a single pas. sage that says a. small sinner may la saved, but I do think of passagethatsay a great sinner may be saved. If there be sins only faintly hued, just a little tinged, so faintly colored that you can hardly see them, there is no special pardon promised in the Bible for those sins, but if they be glaring, red, like crimson, then they shall be as snow. Now, my brother, I do not state this to put a premium upon great iniquity.. I merely say this to endourage that man, 'whoever he is, who feels he is so far gone from God that there is no mer- cy for him. I want to toll him there is a good chance. Why, Paul was a murderer. Ho assisted at the execution of Stephen, and yet Paul was saved. The dying thief did everything bad. The dying thief was saved. Richard Baxter swore dreadfully, but the grace of God met him, and Rich- ard Baxter was saved. It is a vast laver. Go and tell everybody to come. and wash in it. Let them come up from the peni- tentiaries and wash away_ their crimes. Ann mem wine up trona tne 111711S110USOS and wash away their poverty. Let them come up from their graves and wash away their death. If there be any one so worn out in sin that he cannot get up to the 'chafer, you will take hold of his head and "put your arms around him, and I will take hold of .his feet, and we will plunge him in this glorious Bethesda, the vast laver of God's mercy and salvation, In Solomon's temple there were ten la- vers and one molten sea -this great -reser- voir in tho midst of the temple filled with water -these lavers and this molten sea adorned with figures of palm branch and oxen and Boni and cherubim. This foun- tain of God's mercy is a vaster molten sea than that. It is adorned not with palm branches, but with tho wood of the cross; not with cherubim, but with the wings .of the Holy Ghost, and around its great rim all the raco may come and wash in the molten sea. I was reading the other day of Alexander the Great, who, when he was very thirsty and standing at the head of his army, had brought to him a cup of water. He looked off upon his host and said: "I cannot drink this. My men are all thirsty," and he dashed it to the ground. Bleesed bo God, there is enough water for all the host -enough for cap- tains :and host! "Whosoever will may come and take of the water of life freely," a laver broad as the earth, high as the heavens and deep as hell, The Need Is Imperative. But I notice also, in regard to this laver of -looking glasses spoken of in the text, that the washing in it was imperative and not optional. Whale the priests come into the tabernacle (you will find this in the thirtieth chapter of Exodus), God tells them that they must wash in that laver or dio. The priest might have said: "Can't I wash elsewhere? I washed in the laver at home, and now you want me to wash here." God says: "No matter whether or not you have washed before. Wash in this laver or die." -"But," says the priest, "there is water just- as clean as this. Why won't that -do?" "Wash here," says God, "or die." So it is with the gospel of Christ. It is imperative. There is only this alternative -keep our sins and perish, or wash them away and live. But; says some one, "Why could not Gad have made more ways to heaven than one?" I do not know, but he could have made half a doz- en. I know he made but one. You say, • Why not have a long line of boats running from hero to heaven'?" I cannot say, but simply know that there is only ono boat. You say, "Are there not trees as luxuriant as a that on Calvary, more hixuriant, for that had neither buds nor blossoms; it was stripped and barked?' Yes, Yes, there have been taller trees than that and more luxuriant, but the only path to heaven is under that ono tree. In- stead of quarreling because there are not mom ways, let us be thankful to God there is one -one name given unto men whereby wo can be saved, one laver in which all the world may wash. So you see what a ra- diant gospel this is I preach. I do .not know how a man can stand stolidly and present it, for it is such an exhilarant gos- pel. It is not a mere whim or caprice. It Is life Zr death. It is heaven or bell. You come before your child, and you have a present in your hand. You put your hands behind your back and say: "Which hand will you take? ' In one hand there is a treasure; in the other there is not." The child blindly chooses. But God our Father does not do that way with us. He spreads out both hands and says: "Now, this shall be very plain. In that hand are pardon and peace and life and the treasures of heaven; in that hand aro punishment and sorrow and woe. Choose, choose for your- selves." "He that believeth and is bap- tized shall be saved, but he that bolieveth not shall be damned." Oh, my dear friends, I wish I could coax you to accept this gospel. If you could just take one look in 'this laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text, you would begin now spiritual ablution. The love of Christ -I dare not, toward the close of nay sermon, begin to tell about it. The love of Christ! Do not talk to me about a moun- tain; it is highet than that. Do not talk to inc about a sea; it is deeper than that. The Sublime Vision. An ,artist in his dreams saw such a splendid dream of the transfiguration of' Christ that he awoke and seized his pencil and said "Let mo paint this and die." Oh, I have seen the glories of Christ! I have beheld something of the beauty of that great sacrifice 011 Calvary, and I have sometimes felt I would be willing to give anything if I might just sketch before you the wonders of that sacrifice. I would like to do it while I llve, and I would like to do it when I die. "Let me paint this and die." He comes along, weary- and worn, his face wet with tears, his brow crimson with blood, and he lies down on Calvary for you. No, I mistake. Nothing was as comfortable as that. A stone on Calvary would have made a soft pillow for the dy- ing head of Christ. Nothing so comfort- able as that. He does not lie down to die. He stands up to dle, bis spiked hands outspread as if to embrace a world. Oh, what a hard end for those feet that had traveled a/1 over Judrea 011 ministries of mercy! What a hard end for those hands that had wiped away tears and bound up broken hearts] Very hard, 0 dying Lamb of 'Godl And yet there are those who know it and who do not love thee. They say: " What is all that to me? What if he does weep and groan and -die? I don't *ant him." Lord Jesus Christ, they will xtot help thee down from the cross! The sol- diers *ill come, and they will tear thee down froM the cross and put their arms around thee and lower thee into the tomb, but they will not help. They see nothing to move them. 0 dying Christ, turn on them thine eyes of affection now and see if they will not change their minds! I saw one hanging on a tree In agony and blood Who fixed his languid eyes on me As near his cross I steed, Oh, never till my nit -eat -breath Will I forget that look! • He seemed to charge me -with his death, Though note, word he spoke. And that is all for you! Oh, can you not love him? Come around this laver,. old and young. It Is so buruiehed- you can see your sins and so deep you car) wash them all away. 0 mourper, here bathe your bruised soul, and, mok one, here cool yourshot temples in thieloveri Peace! Do net eV any more, dear soul! Pardon for all thy sins, comfort for all 'thy afflictions. The black cloud that bung thuaidering over Sinai has floated above Calvary and burst into the shower of a Saviour's tears. I saw in Kensington Garden a picture of Waterloo a good while after the battle had Passed and the grass had grown all over the field. There was a diemounted can- non, and a lamb had come up from the pasture and lay sleeping in the mouth of that cannon. So the artist had represent- ed it -a most suggestive thing. Then I thought how the war betweeti God and the soul had ended, and instead of the an- nouncement, "The wages of ain is death," there came the words, "My peace I give unto thee," and amid the batteries of the law that had once quaked with -the fiery hail of death I beheld thejoamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. went to Jesus as I was, Weary and worn and sad - I found in him a resting place, And. he has made me glad.
