Sabbath schools or churches. And In thlS
land where there are more than sixty-four
million people there are ut least thirty
million not in the Sabbath schools and
churches. And in this world Of more than
fourteen hundred million people, there are
ut least eight hundred million not In
schools and churches In such an Atlantic
ocean of opportunity there is room for all
the acts aud all the boats and all the fish
ermeu and for millions more.
There should be no rivalry between
churches Each one does n work peculiar
20 itself. There should be no rivalry be-
tween ministers. God never repeats him
self, and he never makes two ministers
alike and each one has work that no
other man in the universe can accomplish.
II fishermen are wise, they will not allow
their nets TO entangle, or if they do acct

day ministers of all denominations stood
on this platform and wished for each
other widest prosperity and usefulness
but there are cities in this country where
there is now going on an awful ripping
and rendux and tearing of fishing nets
Indeed all over Christendom at this time
there is n great war going on between fish
ermen, ministers against ministers,
YOU MUST MIND YOUR OWN NET.
Now ! have noticed a man cannot fish
and fight Mt the same time. He either
neglectS his net or his musket. 1t is amaz-
ing how much time some of the fishermen
have to look after other fishermen. Ii Is

fish are coming in so rapidly that have to
keep my eye and hand busy. There are
about two hundred million souls wanting
to get into the kingdom of God, and It will
require all the nets and all the boats and
all the fishermen of Christendom to safely
land them.
AT East Hampton, Long Island, where l
summer, out on the bluffs some morning
we see the flags up, and that is the signal
/ for launching out into the deep For a
mile the water is tingcd with that peculiar
color that indicates whole schools of pisca-
torial revelry, and the beach swarms with
men with their coats off and their sea caps
on, and those of us who do not 60 out on
the wave stand on the beach ready to re
;oice when the boats come back and in our
excitement We rush into the water with
our shoes on to help yet the boats up the
beach, and we lay hold the lines and pull
ill we are red in the face. and as the living
things Of the deep come tumbIInH in on
ihe sand cry out, captain, how manyf'
And he answers, About NIFTY thousand. "
And we shout to the late corners, "Iiurrah,
atty thousand" We must have an en-
;huslasln something ike that If we are
ever TO take the human race tor God and
1eaven Aye, we ought TO have that en-
thuslasln OF the beacA multiplied hum

On, brethren of ministry. Let us spend
our time in hshlng instead OF lighting.
But il angrly jerk my net across your
net, and you JERK your net anSrlly across
mine, we will soon have two broken nets
and no fish. The French revolution nearly
destroyed the French fisheries, and &c
clcsiasticol war is the worst thing possible
while hauling souls into the kingdom,

to dawn, but the hon IS yet too fond OF the
