Rev. 1}r, Talmage prenahott from the
fallowing text :—" All wo Ince sheep

ory one to his awn way ; and the Lord
bath laid on hint the iniquity o1 us

This 80rvie0 will (1 11(18 the eternity for
some who are present. This will he the
last sermon that some of you will ever
hear. I have a nature somewhat poetic
and I alight try to please you with a
trope, and metaphor, and simile; but
1 dare nut under much (ircunlstiulces.
4 der not think that God ever gave to
any man greater !matinees fur mirth
than I have, and yet 1 dare not induigo
It amid these considerations. This
night is a life. 'draggle, and a depth
grapple, and woo be to that man who
shall try to divert this august assem-
blage from the one issue.
The first part of my text is an in-
dictment. "All wo like sheep have
gone astray" Says some one: "Oan'L
you drop the first word?" And some
one rises and looks off and says: "There
is a man
who is a lal+(s)Ihxm5r he is
astray. And yonder is u man who is
impure, and he is astray. And yonder
is it man who is fraudulent, and be is
astray," Sit down, my brother, and
look at home, for the first word, of the
text take and me as well as the
rest : " All we like sheep have gone
astray." '
I have studied t11e habits of sheep,1
end I know they lose their way some-
times by trying to get other pasture,
and sometimes by being scared with
the dogs. There are many of you who
have bees looking for better pasture.
You have wandered on and wandered
on. You tried business successes, you
tried worldly assoriaLions, you tried the
club -house, You said that the Church

and you wanted to find the z•ankgrass
on the bank of distant streams, and
to lie down under great oaks on the
other side of the hills. have you found
the anticipated pasture that was to
be so superior ? How are you getting
on now in the club -house? Whet did
they do for you in the way of comfort
when the baby died? 1)id they make
up for the flaxen hair, and the blue
eyes and the dimpled elleeksI We re not

Christ.iun woman who 044111e in and sat
up nights with your darling of more
solace than all worldly associations?
Did all the convivial songs you ever
beard, give you such peace as the song
those people sang in your bereaved
home? the very words that your lit-
tle ohild had learned to sing in the
Sabha lh-school:
"There is a happy land
Far, fax away,
Where aerates in glory stand
Bright, bright ns day,"
Did you find comfort in your business
associations? Did the erase grow very
thick around about your insurance of-
fice, or. your broker's shop, or your
retail store, or your Importing estab-
lishment? God help the man tient has
nothing but business to oemlort him 1

Says some one: ":Chat is not gener-

that., If 1 owe 0debt, exact 1. have
money to pay it, and J come to you
and 11010 you to cancel my obligation,
yeti would be right in saying to ole:
"PAY YOU'.e OWN DEBTS."
If I ant walking along the street with

and 1 want you to carry me, you are
light in saying: "Walk on year own

say to your comrades: "here, this man
11; helpless. Let us carry him to the
ambulance; let us take him out to the
hospital." And you would take 1110
up in your arms, and 1 would be a
dead weight, and you would beckon to
the corps of the ambulance: "Bring
your waggon aroundthis way, and
(alai this men to the hospital." You
1vould put me in the ambulance, and
you would have done your duty.
Would it have been mean to let you
carry me thin? You certainly would
not have been so unkind 118 1101 to carry
me. Now, that is.Chri(;l to the soul.
If we could pay our spiritual obliga-
tions we might go up to God and say:
"Lord, there is so much debt, and here
1 have the means with which to cancel
it. Now cross it all out." The debt
is paid. but the fact is 400 aro pierced

There have been great rejoicings at
Leslie, in Scotland, over the coming of
age of the Earl of Rolhes. From 1859
until the present Earl succeeded, at
the age of sixteen, his grandmother in
notion. He keeps a watchful "0ptie" peerage having been held in tLe'inter-

fails to make a selection quite suffi-
cient to pay the cute man for his
trouble.
There is anathoe man who does equ-
