NAUTICAL SERMON IN PHIIADFr .pEYa
It'll known that the venerable Mr.. Eastburp, whc
presides over the Mariners church in philadel
phia, habuaily add esses his hearers in phrases
most familiar to them. The following is related
OF him -
"One day sailor who had become serious, in
the course OF conversation with Mr.. Eas,burn, said
DIT, you speak TO US so much in our own terms
that many OF US suppose you once foowe ed the sea.
YOURSELF Upon Mr.. Eastburn declaring he never
had the sailor continued but Sir, I observe that
you use one expression erroneousIy.' well, nv
iriend,' said Mt. Eastburn, { / am always GLAD 10
receive instruction when can-wha, is it a's Why,'
sald the sailor we think you do not understand what
we mean by splicing the main brace We mean
this Sir; after we have been on hard duty, such as
Ieefng striking top mas,s, securing the ship against
hurricanes, &c. and the storm has abated, We are
called AFT to partake OF cam Of grog. This we
loosely call splicing the main brace Il thank you
Tor tie explanation said Mr. Eastburn, and will
Try to profit by it,
"The next Sabbath, this faithful servant in his
masters vineyard, chose John v. IS, ii, for his
text Alter the exordium, and some illustration of
the words he made most solemn appeal to his
auditory, and addressed them with unusual serious
ness and animation. Friends said he, know
ways glad to be called aft to splice the main brace
now, my friends, our text expressly declares, that
: whatsoever drinketh Of this wafer shall thirst
again. So, then, as often as you drink of it, you
shall thirst. And though you were to drink every
day oil such waters, yet every day you would want
them again. for you still would be dry. But your
captain, the captain Of your salvation, is now stand
ing and calling you off from the hard lsbors which
Satan has imposed on you. He offers to you
hiding place from the wind, and covert from the
tempest lisa. xxxiii 2. And he now offers you
drink; aye, and he offers it freely and abundany,
without money and without price ; and drink. too,
OF the most durable kind; for whosoever drinke,h
thereof shall. never thirst; but the water that
shall give him, shall be in him we'll of living wa
ter, springing up into everlasting life. o, then.
come my friends-yea, come-one and all, and
splice the main brace at this cistern.'
$50 far was this discourse from levity, that it
had most wonderful and powerful Effects
