A SHATTERED FAITS.
REV. DR. TALMAGE TO THOSE
BURDENED WITH DOUBT,
He Preaches an Eloquent Sermon Showing
the Foolishness of Questioning the Plan
of Salvation --He Overcomes Many Objec-
tions Raised by the Skeptic. .
Det Funizak Springs, Fla., Feb. 21. -
After many years of invitation .Die Tal-
mage
alaliage preaches to -day at this great Chau-
tauqua, From all parts of the south the
people are assembled. The sermon is
mightilyy helpful for - those who find it
hard to believe everything. Dr. Taianage
returns this week. to Washington. The
subject of this sermon is '1A Shattered
Faith" and the text Acts xxvii, 44, ' `And
some on broken pieces of the ship."
Never off Goodwin _Bands or the Sker-
ries or Cape Hatteras was a ship in worse
predicament than, in the. Mediterranean
hurricane, was the grain ship on which
276 passengers were driven on the coast
of Malta, -,five miles, from the metropolis
of that - island, called Citta Vecchia.
a two weeks' tempest, When the
ship was en bled and captain and
grew had become romp • • • • o -alined,
an old missionary took command,
vessel. He was small, crooked -backed
and sore -eyed, according to tradition. It.
was Paul, the/only nnscared.man aboard.
He was no more afraid -of "a Euuroolydon
tossing the .Mediterranean sea, now up
to the .gates of heaven and now sinking
it to the gates of hell, than he was afraid
of a kitten playing with a string. ' He
ordered them. all down to .take their
rations, first asking for -them a blessing.
Then he insured all their lives, telling
them they would be rescued, and, so far
from losing -their heads, - they would not
lose so much of their hair as you could
cut off with one click of the scissors-
nay, not a thread of it, whether it were
gray with age or golden with youth.
"There shall not a hair fall from the -
head of any of- you." -
Knowing that they can never get to
the -desired port, they make the sea on
the fourteenth night black with over-
thrown cargo, so that when the ship
strikes it will not strike so -heavily. At
daybreak they saw a creek and in their
exigency resolved to make for it. And so
they cut the cables, took in the two pad-
dles they had on those old boats and '
hoisted the mainsail so that -they might
come with such force as to be driven
high up on the beach by some fortunate
billow. There she goes, tumbling toward
the rocks, now proveoremost, now stern
foremost, now rollini over to the star-
board, now over to the larboard; now a
wave dashes clear over the deck, and it
seems as if the old craft has gone forever.
But up she comes again. Paul's arras
around a mast, he cries: "Allis well.
God has given me all those that sail with
me." Crash went the prow, with such
force that it broke off the mast. Crash
went the timbers till the seas rushed
through from side to side of the vessel.
She parts amidships,- and into a thousand
fragments the vessel goes, and into the
waves 276 mortals are precipitated. Some
of them had been brought up on the sea -
ore and had learned to swim with
sir chins just above the waves, and by
the strokes of both arms and propulsion
f both feet they put out for the beach
and reach it. But alas for those others!
They have never learned to swim, or
hey were wounded by the failing of the
mast, or the nervous shock was too great
or them. And others had been weakened
y long seasickness.
Oh; what will become of them? "Take
that piece of a rudder," says Paul to one.
Take that :fragment of a spar," says
Paul to another. "Take that image of
astor and Pollux." "Take that plank
rom the lifeboat." "Take anything and
ead for the beach." What a - struggle for
e in the breakers! Oh, the merciless
eters, how they sweep over the heads
f men, women and children! Hold on
here! Almost ashore. Keep up your
curage. Remember what Paul told you:
here the receding wave on the beach
eaves in the sand a whole family. There
crawls up out of the surf the centurion.
here another plank comes in, with a life
inging fast to it. There another piece

is time all be saved. Yes, there comes
last of all, for he had been -overseeing
wrest, the old missionary, w wrings

t, "Thank God, all are here!"
Gather around a fire and call the roll.
Paul builds a fire, and when the bundle
sticks begin to crackle and standing
d sitting around the blaze the passen-
rsebegin to recover from their chill,
d the wet clothes begin to dry, and
warmth begins to come into all the shiv-

cannot believe everything.
Some Excuses.
I am talking with - a man thoughtful
about hie soul who has lately traveled
through New England and passed the
night at Andover. He says to me: "' I
cannot believe that in this life the des-
tiny is irrevocab y flied. I think there
will be another opportunity of repentance
after death." I say to him.: "My brother,
what has that to do with you? Don't
you realize that the elan who waits for
-another chance after death when he has
a good chance before death is a stark
fool? Had not you better take the plank
that is thrown to you now and head for
shore rather than 'trait for a plank that
may by invisible hands be thrown to you
after you are dead? Do as you please, but
as for myself, with pardon for all my
s n. ..' • • • [ e now, :and all the joys of
time and eternity offered` -ne noee,_I_„ l-
stantly take them rather than run the
risk of such other chance as wise: men
think they can lee off or `twist out of a
cripture passag that has for all the
Christian centuri,s been interpreted: an-
other way." You say,' "I do not like
Princeton theology, or New Haven the-
ology, or Andover theology."' I do not
ask you on board either of these:. great
men-of-war, their portholes filled- with
the great siege gins of ecclesiastical bat-
tle, but I do ask you to take the one
plank of the gospel that you dokelieve in
and strike out for the pearl strung beach
of heaven.
Says some other man, "I would at-
tend to religion if I was quite sure
about the doctrine of election and free
agency, but that mixes me all .up. "
Those things used to bother me, but I.
have no more perplexity about them, for
I say. to myself, "If I love Christ and live
a good, honest, useful life, I am elected
to be saved, and if I do not love Christ
and live a bad life I will be damned, and
all the theological seminaries of the uni-
verse cannot make it any different." I
. floundered a long while in the sea of sin
.and doubt, `and it was' as - rough as the
Mediterranean on the fourteenth night,
when they threw 'the •grain overboard,
but I saw there was mercy -for a sinner,
and that plank I took, and I have been
warming myself by the bright fire on the
E shore ever since. -
While I am talking . to another man
about his soul he tells me, "I do not be-
come a Christian because I do not believe
.there is any hell at all." Ah, don't you?
Do a 1 the people of all beliefs and no
belief at all, of good. morals and bad
morals, go straight to a happy heaven?
Do the holy and the debauched have the
same destination? At midnight, In a hall-
way, the owner of a house and a burglar,
meet. They both lire, and both are
wounded, but the burglar . dies in five
minutes, and the owner of - the house
lives a week atter. Will the burglar be at
the gate. of heaven, waiting, when the.
house owner comes in? " Will the d&
bauchee and the libertine go right in
,among the families of heaven? iI wonder
if Herod is playing one the banks of the
river of life with the children he mas-
sacred. _ I wonder if Charles •Guiteau and
John Wilkes Booth are ups . there shoot-
ing at a mark. I do not, now controvert
it,although I, must say that for such a
mj arable heaven I have no admiration.
But the Bible! does not say, "Believe in
perdition and ibe saved." Because, all are
saved, according to your theory, that
ought not to keep you from loving and
•serving Christ. Do not refuse to come
ashore because all the others, according
to your theory, are going to get ashore.
- You may have a different theory . about
chemistry, about astronomy, about the
atmosphere, from that which others
adopt, but you are not,- therefore, hinder-
ed from action. -
Because your theory of light is differ-
ent from others do not refuse to open
your eyes. Because your theory -of 'air is
different you do not refuse to breathe.
Because your theory about the stellar
system is different you do not refuse to
acknowledge the north star. Why should
the fact that your theological theories are
different hinder you fro_i& acting upon
what you know? If you have not a whole
ship fastened in the theological drydocks
to bring you to wharfage, you have at
least a plank. "Some on broken pieces
of the ship." -•
"Hut I don't believe in'revivals." Then
go to your room, and all alone,. with
your door locked, give your heart to God
and join some church where the ther-
mometer never gets higher than 50 in the
shade.
"But I do not believe in baptism."
Come in without it and settle that matter
,afterward. "But there are aso many in-
consistent Christians." Then come in
and show them by a gocxi exainple how
professors should act. "But -, I don't' be-
lieve in the Old Testament." Then come
in on the New. "But I don't Iike the
book of Romans." Then come in on
Matthew or Luke. Refusing to come to
Christ, whom you admit to be the Sav-
iour of the lost,�because you cannot admit
other things, you are like a man out
there in that Mediterranean tempest and
tossed in the Melita breakers, refusing to
cones ashore until he can mend the pieces
of the broken ship. I hear hien say: I
won't go in on any of these planks until
I know in what part of the ship they be-
long. When{I can get the windlass in the
right place, and the sails set, and that
keel piece where it belongs,and that floor
timber right, and these ropes untangled,
I will go ashore. I am an old sailor and
(know all about ships for 40 years, and
as soon as I can get the vessel afloat in
good shape I will come in." A man
drifting by on a piece of wood overhears
him and says: "You will drown before
you get that ship reconstructed- Better
'do as I am doing. I know making about
ships anti never saw • one before I came
on board this, and I cannot swim a
stroke, but I am •going ashore on- this
shivered timber." The man in. -tine. o>71(ng,
while trying to mend his ship, goes down.
`Tho man who triatted, to the.•. plank ie
saved. Oh, my brother, let your snnallied
up system of theology go to, the `- bottom
while you come in, on a splintsre4 spar.

Yon may get all tour difficulties settled
as Garibaldi, the magnetic Italian, got
his gardens made. When the war be-
tween Austria and Sardinia ' broke out,
he Was living at Caprera, a very rough
and uncultured island home. But he
went forth with his sword to achieve the
liberation of Naples aid Sicily and - gave
9',,000,000 people free government under
Victor Emraanuel. 'Garibaldi, after being
absent two years from Caprera, returned,
and when lie approached. it he found that

a surprise, been Edenized. Trilmmed

system went to pieces. It may be that

gusted you with religion. It may be that
you have associates who have talked
against Christianity in your presence
until you are "all at sea," and you dwell
more on things that you do net believe
than on tihngs you do believe. You are
in one respect like Lord Nelson, when a
signal- was lifted that he wished to dis-
regard, and he put his sea glass to his
blind eye and said, "I really do not see
the signal." Oh, my hearer, put this
fieldglass of the gospel no longer to your
blind eye and say I cannot see, but put
it to your. other - eye of faith, and you
will see Christ, and he.is all you need to

Vicarious Suffering.
If you believe nothing else, your cer-
tainly believe in vicarious suffering, for
yen]. see • it almost evc!;f y day in some
shape. The steamship Knickerbocker of
the Cromwell line, running between New
Orleans and New York was in great
storms, andthe captain and crew saw
the schooner Mary D. Crammer of Phila-
delphia in distress. The }weather cold, the
waves mountain high, the first officer of
the steamship and -four men put out in a
lifeboat to save, the crew of the schooner
and reached the vessel and towed it out
of : danger, the wind shifting so that
the schooner was saved. But the five
men of the steamship coming bank, their
boat ; apsized, yet righted, and a line
was thrown the poor fellows, but their
hands were frozen so they could not
grasp it, and a great wave rolled over
them, and they went down, never to rise
again till the sea gives up its dead, Ap-
preciate that heroism and self sacrifice of
the brave fellows all who can, and can
we not appreciate the Christ who put out
into a more biting cold and into a more
everwhehning surge to bring us out of
infinite peril into everlasting safety? The
waves of human hate rolled over him
from one side and the wave of hellish
fury rolled over him on the other side.
Oh,'the thickness ofthe night and the
thunder of the tempest into which Christ
plunged.for our rescue.
