Dr. Talmage's eer 11111 today is of so decidedly evangelical a .oaaracter aa t prove conclimively that While so many eminent preachers of the aay are drifting away from the old fash ioned Gospel he remains firm in the paths of wthodoxy. His subject is "Astray, bat Becovered," and his text, Isaiah liii, & "AJ1 we li ke sheep have (one astray: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity ruaalL" . Within ninety years at the longest all who bear or read this sermon will be in eternity. During the next fifty years you will nearly all be gone. The next ten yearn will cat a wide swath among the people. The year 18U1 will to some be the finality. Soch considerations make this occasion ab sorbing and momentous. ' The first half oi Bty text is an indictment, "All we lik sheep have gone astray." Some one tutys ""Can you not drop the first word? That i too general; that sweeps too great a circle. Some man rises in the audience and be looks over on the opposite side of the bouse, and he says: "There is a blasphemer, and I voders land how be has gone astray.

Sit down, my brother, and look at home. My text takes us all in.- It starts behind she pulpit, sweeps the circuit of ' the room and comes back to the point' Where it -started, when it says: "All we like sheep have gone astray." I can very easily, under stand why Martin Luther threw up hie hands after be had found the Bible and riedout, "Ohl my sins, my sins," and why the publican, according to the custom to this day in the east, when they have any great grief, began to beat himself and cry a he smote upon his breast. "God be mere! fnl to me a sinner." XIXCSTRATIOX FROM THE SHEPHERD'S LIFE. . I was, like many of you, brought up in the oantry, and I Know some of the habits oi beep and hi w they get astray, and what say text me:m when it says, "All'we like sheep have k. me astray." Sheep get astray ta two wayn. itber by trying to get into ether pastun-, or from being scared by the dogs. In the former way some of us got .astray. We thought the religion of Jesus Christ short, commons. We thought there was better pHHturage somewhere else. We ' thought if we could 'only lie down on the hanks of distant streams or nnder great oaks ' on the other side of some hill we Might be better fed. We wanted other pasturage than thatj which God through Jesus Christ gave our j soul, and we wandered on and we wan-1 dared on, and we were lost. We wanted bread and we found garbage. The further J we wandered, instead of finding rich pas tarage, we found blasted heath and sharp er rocks and more stinging nettles. No pasture. ' How was it in the worldly (roups when . you lost your child? Did. they come around and console you very, arachf Did not the plain Christian muu who came into your house and sat up with yoar darling child give you more comfort than all worldly associations?
