A deepateli from Washington. saYn;
--,Rev. Dr. Talmage preached from the
renewing text, "One thing thou
lacireat."-St. Mark, 10-21.
The young Man of the text was a
splendid nature. We fall in love with
hiM at the first glance. Ile- wai ami-
ahle, and frank, and earnest, and ed-
ucated, and refined, 'arid respectable,
and moral, anti yet he was not
Oliristaln. And so Christ addresses
hire' in the words that I have real,: to
vete "One thing thou 'Wrest." I *tee-
pee that that text was no more ap-
prs)riate to the young Man of whom
I Sive spokenthan it la appropriate to
the great multieude of people in this
audience to -night. There are MAO'
things in which you are not lacking.
For instance. you Are not lacking in
a geed home,. It is, Perhaps, no more
than an been' ago that You closed the

well fastened, af one of the beet homes
in the city. The younger ohildren of

Stand with their lessons, the wife is

you have it geed home. ,Neither are
you lacking, my friends, in the'refine-
the book of the paper, you feel that
you have a good home. Neither are
meats and courtesies of life. You
understand the polite phraseology- of
invitation, regards, and. apology. I*
hope that Yon have, 'en your best ap-
parel. 'r shell wear no better dress at
the- wedding than when I Acme to the
marriage of the King's' Son. If I ant
well clothed on other ocoasions, 1 Will
be in the house of God. However reek --
less. 1 may be about my personal ap-
pearance at other times, when I mine
into a consecrated assemblage ;I AMU
have on thebest dreas.I have. We all
understand the proprieties of .every-
• cloy life and the. proprieties of Sabbath
life. Neither, are you lacking in
wordlY success. You heYe not Made
as 'much money as you would Ulm to
make, but you have 'an Moine., While
others •are false When they say they
have no income , or are making no
raolleY, You have never told that false-
,
hood.' You have, had a livelihood or
you "` have fallen uPon old resources,
which is just the same thing, for God
is just .as good to us When he •takes
care of ue by a surplus of the past
as by present success. While, to-
night, there arethousands of men
with hunger tearing at the throat
with the strength of a tiger's new, net
oue of you is hungry. Neither are You
lacking in pleasant friendships. You.
have real good friends. If the scarlet
fever should' come -to-night to your
louse, youknew very 'well who Would
come in and sit up -with the sick one;
or, if death should come, you. know
who would Demean and take your hand
tight in theirs with that piiduliar grip
which means, "I'll stand. by you,"
and after the life has fled from the I
loved one, take you by the arm, and
lead you in the next room, and while .
you are gone to the cemetery they
would stay in the hOuseandtput aside
the garments and the playthings that
might bring to your mind too severely ,
your great loss. irriendst: You all:
have friends-. Neither are you lacking;
in your admiration of the Christian re-
ligion. There is nothing that makes
.you so mad as to have a man malign,
Christ. *You get red in the face and :
you ear "Sir, I want you to under-
stand that though I. an not myself
a Christian, I don't like ouch thingsj
said as that in my store," and the/limn;
goes off', giving you a' parting saluta-
tion. but you hardly Ammer him. You
are provoked beyoad all bounds. Many
of you have been sapperters of relig-
ion and have givele more to the cause
of Christ than some who profees His
faith. There is nothing that would;
please you more than teems your son
or daughters Standing at the alters of
Christ, taking the vows of the Chris-
tian. It Might be a little hard mei
agitated for a little while; but you I
you, and might make you nervous and
would be man enough to say: "My!
child, that is right. Go on. 1 am glad
You haven't been kept back by my ex-
ample, 1 hope sOlito day to .,4oin you."
You believe all the doctrines ca re-
ligion. A Amen out yonder says: "I
am a tanner!' You respond: "So am
1." omit, one says: "I believe that
Christ mune to save the world." You
say: "So do I." Looking at( your
character, at your surroundings, I
find a thousand things about 'which
to congratulete you, and yet I Must
tell you in the love and fear of God,
and with reference( to my last ao-
counti "One thing thou labitest."
Yon need, my friend, in the first
