TODD, Pubiisbar, THE LEVIATHAN OF J013 AN EXTINCT SEA MONSTER. Se Gaya Rev, Or. Talmage—Mia Latest Sermon at Brooklyn Tabernacle — Eu)ogy o4 the Late O. W. Chltda. BROOKLYN, Feb. 18—In the Brooklyn Tabernaole this forenoon, Rev. Dr. Tal- mage preached an unusually attractive and eloquent Gospel sermon to a crowd- ed audience, who listened with rapt in- terest. The subject was, "Lightning of the Sea," the text selected being Job 41; 82: "He maketh a path to shine after Him." If for the next thousand years minis- ters of religion phould preach from this Bible there will yet be texts unexpound- ed, and unexplained, and unappreiated. What little has been said concerning this chapter in Job from which my text ie taken bears on the controversy as to what was really the leviathan de- scribed as disturbing the sea. What creature it was I know not. Some eay it wasa whale. Some say' it was a crocodile. My own opinion is it was a sea monster now extinct. No creature now floating in Mediterranean or Athan tic waters corresponde to Job's descrip- tion, What moat interests me is that as it moved on through the deep it left the waters flashing end resplendent. In the words of the text, "He maketh a path to shine after Hitn," What was that illumined path? It was phosphorescence. You find it in the wake of a ship in the night, especially after rough weather. Phosphorescence is the lightning of the sea. That this figure of speech is cor- rect in describing its appearance I am certified by an incident. After crossing the Atlantic the first time and writing from Basle, Switzerland, to an American au account of my voyage, in which noth- ing more fascinated me than the phos• phoreecence in the ship's wake. I called it The Lightning of the Sea. Returning to my hotel I found a book of John Ruskin, and the first sentence my eyes fell upon was his description of phos- phorescence, in which he called it "The Lightning of the Sea." Down to the postoffico 1 hastened to get the manu- script, and, with great labor and ex- pense, got possession of the magazine article and put quotation marks around that one sentence, although it was as original with me as with John Ruskin. I suppose that nine -tenths of you living so near the sea -coast leave' watched this marine appearance called phosphores- cence, and I hope that the other one- tenth daybe so happyas to 1maysome nil to witness it. It is the waves of the Bea ' diamonded ; it is the inflorescence of the billows ; the waves of the sea crimsoned, as was the deep after the sea -fight of Lepanto ; the waves of the sea on fire. There are, times when from horizon to horizon the entire ocean seems in con- flagration with this strange splendor, as it changes every moment to tamer or (more dazzling color on all sides of you. You sit looking over the taffrail of the yacht or ocean steamer watching and waiting to see what new thing the God of beauty will do with the Atlantic, It is the ocean in transfiguration ; it is tse marine world casting its gar- ments of glory in the pathway of the Almighty as He walks the deep ; it is an inverted firmament with all its stars gone down wits it. No picture can present it, for photographer's camera cannot be successfully trained to catch it, and before it the hand of the painter drops its pencil overawed and powerless, This phosphoresence is the appearance of myriads of the animal kingdom ing, falling, playing, flashing, living, .dying. These luminous animalcules for nearly one hundred and fifty years have been the study of naturalists and the fascination and solemnization of all who have brain enough to think. Now, God, who puce in His I3ible nothing trivial or useless, calls the attention of Job, the greatest scientist of the day, to this phosphoresence, and as the leviathan of the deep sweeps past, points out the fact that "lie makettt a path to shine after Is that true of us now, and will it be true of us when we have gone? Will there be subsequent light or darkness? Will there be a trail of gloom or good cheer?' Can any one between now and the next 100 years say of us truthfully as the text says of the leviathan of time deep, "He maketh a path to shine after Him?" For we are moving on. While we live in the same house, and transaot business in the same store, and write on the same table, and chisel in the same studio, and thresh in the same barn, and worship in the same church, we are in motion, and are in many respects mov- ing on, and we aro not where we were ten years ago, nor where we will be ten years hence. Moving ont Look at the family record, or the almanac, or into the mirror, and see if any one of you 15 whore you were. A11 in motion, Other feet may trip, and stumble, and halt, but the fent of not one mo- ment for the last sixty centuries has tripped, or stumbled, or halted. Moving onl Society moving on! Tile world moving on! Heaven moving onl The universe moving onl Time moving onl Eternity moving onl Therefore, it is absurd to think that we ourselves can stop, as we must mom with all the rest. Are we like the creature of the text, making our path to shine after us? It may be a peculiar question, but my text suggesta it, What influence will we leave in this world after we have gone through it? "None I" answer hundreds of voices, "we are not of the imtnortals. we are out Fifty years afterof the world it will be as though we never inhabited it." You aro wrong in saying that. I pass down through this audience and up through these galleries, and I am look- , ing for some one whom I cannot find. I am looking for one who will have no in- fluence in this world 100 years from now. But I have found the man who h; s the leant influence, and I inquire into his history and I find that by a yes or a no he decided some one's eter- nity. Itt time of temptation he gave an afllrtnatlye or a negative to some temptation which another, hearing of, was induced to decide in the same way.

A lady correspondent has this to say: "I want to give' a piece of any mind to acertain class who object toadvertis- ing, when it costs theta anything -this wont cost them a cent. I suffered a living death for nearly two years with headaches, backache, in pain standing or walking, was being literally dragged out of existence, my misery increased by drugging. At last, in despair, I committed the sin of trying an advertised medicine, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and it restored me to the blessedness of sound health. I honor the physican who when he knows he can euro, has the moral courrge to advertise the fact." The medicine mentiol%d is guaran- teed to cure the delicate diseases pe- culiar to females, as "Female Weak- ness," periodical pains, irregularities, nervous prostration, spasms, chorea or St. Vitus's Dance, sleeplessness, threatened insanity. To permanently cure constipation, biliousness, indigestion or dyspepsia, use Dr. Pierce'S Pleasant Pellets. Judge Dugas, of Montreal, decided recently that unless the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals could prove that chameleons are domestic animals, he could not issue a summons for the people who are selling them for scarf ornaments.

That it tl.e kind of wake that a bad man leaves behind him) as he plowe through the ocean of this life toward the vaster ocean of the great future. Now, suppose a man seated in a cor- ner grocery, or business office among clerks, gives himself to jolly scepticism. Ile laughs at the Biele, makes sport of the miracles, speaks of perdition in jokes, and laughs at revivals as a frolic, and at the passage of a funeral proces- sion, which always solemnizes senellt.e people, says, "Buys, lee take a dank." `There ie in that group a young man who is malting a great struggle against temptation, aud prays night and morn- ing, and reads his Bible, and is asking (God for help day by day. But that guffaw against Christianity makes hie: lose his grip of sacred things and he gives up Sabbath, and Church, and morals, mud goes from bad to worse, ti l he falls under dissipations, dies in e laver house and is buried in a potter's lield. Auother young than who Beard that jolly scepticiein made up iia tuiutl that •'it makes no difference what we do or say, for we will all come out at last at the right place," i eget), as a con- sequence, to purloin. Some stoney that came into his hands for others he ap- plieu to his own uses, thinking per. ops lie would make it straight some otter time, and all would be well even if he did not trade it straight, He ends to the penitentiary. Teat scoffer who ut- tered the jokes against Christianity never realized what bad work he was doing, and lie sseI on through life and out of it and into a future teat I am not now going to depict. I do not propose with 0 searchlight to show the breakers of tyle awful coast on which that ship is •tvrecl.ed, for my business now is to tc:htc,t due 90:1 after tele keel • has plowed it.

The young man became worse and %worse, and (bed a profligate, horrifying with his profauitios those who stood by thin m his last uta meats. Better look uud what bad in- fluence you start, for you may not be able to stop it. It does not requite very great force to ruin others. 1` by was it that many years ago a great flood near- ly destroyed New 0/ leans? A crawfish had burrowed Tutu the batiks of the river until the ground was saturated, aid the banks weakened until the lined burst. But I find here a elan who starts out in Ilfe with the determination that he will never see sufferiun but he will try to alleviate it; and Dever see discourage - meet nut -he will try to cheer it ; tied never meet with anybody but the will try to do bun good. Getting his strengthl front God, he Starts (rola (tome w:tu high purpose of doing all the good he can possibly do in one day. Whether standing betiiud the cuuuter, or talking in the business olliee with a pelt behlind his ear, or making a b;ll•gain tcith a fel low -trader, or out in the fields discussing tt ith his next theighi.or the wisest rota- tion of crops, or iu the slioehualser's slip pouud.ng the sole -leather, there is something in his race, and in his phraseo- logy, and iu his manner that demon- strates the grace of God in bis heart. Ile can talk on religion without awkwardly dragging it in by the ears. Ile loves God and loves the souls of all tvhoin lie meets, and is interested in then' present and eternal destiny. For fifty or sixty years he lives that kind of life, and then gets through with it and into heaven a ransomed soul. But" I :tu not going to describe the port into welch teat ship has steered. 1 alit nut goiu;; to describe the Pilot who met hint out- side at the "lightship." 1 an) not going to say anyt.utg about the crowds of friends who met 11110 on the crystal100 wharves up which he Koos on steps of chrysoprases.

"lie maketh a path to shine after hint." And. here 1 correct one of the itleau notions which at some time takes pos- session of all of us, and that is as to the brevity of human life. When I bury some very useful man, cleiscal or lay, in his thirtieth or fortieth year, 1 RAY, "What a waste of energies! It W as hardly worth white for him to get ready for Christian work, for he had so soon to quit it." But the fact is that I may insure any man or woman who does any good on a large or small scale for a life on earth as long us the world lasts. Sick- ness, trolley car accidents, death itself call no more destroy his life than they can tear down one of the rings of Saturn. You can start one good work, one „kind act, one cheerful smile, on a mission that will last until the world becomes a bonfire, and out of that blaze it will pass into the heavens never to halt as long as God lives. There were in the seventeenth century meu and women whose names you never heard of who are to -day influencing schools, colleges. ohurches,nations. You can no ntor'e measure the gracious re- sults of their lifetime than you could mensure the length, and breadth and depth of the pliophoreseence last night following the snip of the White Star Line 1500 miles out at sea.

Have you any arithmetic capable of estimat- ing tate influence of our good and gracious friend who a few days ago went up to rest -George W. Childs, of Philadelphia? From a newspaper that was printed for thirty years without one word of defamation, or scurrility, or scandal, and putting chief emphasis on virtue and charity, and cleau intelli- gence, he reaped a fortune for himself and then distributed a vast amount of it among the poor and struggling, putting his invalid and aged reporters on pensions, until his name stands everywhere for large -heartedness and sympathy and help and highest style of Christian gentleman, In an era which had in the chairs or its journalism a Horace Greeley, ele 7and Henry J.

By all acknowledged a representative of the higuest American journalism. If you would calculate his influence for good you must count how many sheets of his newspapers have been published in tee last quarter of a century, and how many people have read theta, and the effect not only upon those readers. but upon all whom tuey ah .11 influence for all time, while you add to all that the work of the churches he helped build, and of the institutions of mercy the help- ed found.

That ship of light was launched from the heavens nearly 1900 years ago, angelic hosts chautiug, and from the celestial wharves tale strip sprang into the roughest sea that ever tossed. its billows were made up of the wrath of men and devils, Horodic and Sauhedriu,ic persecutions stirring the deep with red wrath, and all the hurricanes of woe smote it, until on the rocks of Golgotha that life struck with a resound of agony that ap- palled the earth and the heavens. But in the wake of that life what a phosphor- escence of smiles on the cheek of souls pardoned, and lives reformed, and na- tions redeemed. The millennium itself is only one roll of that irradiated wave of gladness and benediction. In the sublrmeat of all eenaee it may be said of Him, "He maketh a path to shine after Hi in." But I cannot look up:)n that luminos- ity that follows ships without realizing bow fond the Lord is of life, That lire of the deep is life, myriads of creatures all a -swan, and a -play, and a -romp in parks of marine beauty, laid out and parterred, and roseated, and blossomed by Omutipotence. What is the use of those creatures called by the naturalists "crustaceans" and "cope pods," not more than one out of hundreds of bil- lions of which are ever seen by hu- man eye? God created them for the same reason that Ile creates flowers in places whore no human foot ever makes them tremble, and no human nostril ever inhales their redolence, and no hu- man eye ever sees their charm. In the botanical worl1 they prove that God loves flowers, as in the marine world the phosphori prove that He loves life, and He lovas life in play, life in brilli- ancy of gladness, life in exuberance. And so Ism led to believe that he loves our life if we fulfil our mission as fully as the phosphori fulfil their. The Son of God came "that we might have lite, and have it more abundantly," But I am glad to tell you that our God ie not the God sometimes described as a harsh critic at the head of the universe, or an 'infinite scold; or a God that loves funerals better than weddings; or a God that prof ars tears to laughter; rix omnipotent Nero, a fero- cious Nana Sahib ; but tile loveliest Being in the universe, loving flowers, and life, and play, whether of phosphori in the wake of the Majestic), or of the human race keeping a holiday.
