TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 9-Dr Talmage
reached this city yesterday in the course OF
MS western trip. He was warmly vel
coined by the citizens, who came in large
numbers 20 hear the famous Brooklyn di-
vine The subject of the sermon for this
week is, "A Poor Investment" and the
text, Isaiah Iii, 8. "Ye have sold yourselves
for naught; and ye shall be redeemed with
out money!
The Lords people had gone headlong
INTO SIN, and as punishment they had
been carried captive to Babylon. They
found that iniquity did not pay Cyrus
seized Babylon, and felt so sorry for these
poor captlyes that, without dollar of com
pensation, he let them 20 home. So that.
literally, my text was fulfilled. "Ye have
sold yourselves for naught; and ye shall be
redeemed without money"
SOLD FOR NAUGHT.
There is enough Gospel in this text for
fifty sermons. There are persons here who
have, like the people of the text, sold out.
You do not seem to belong either to your
selves or to God. The title deeds have been
passed over to "the world. the flesh, and the
devil" but the purchaser never paid up
"Ye have sold yourselves for naught."
When a man passes himself over TO the
world he expects to get some adequate com
pensation He has heard the great things
that the world does for a man, and he be.
lieves it. He wants two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars That will be horses and
houses, and summer resort and jolly
ompanionship. To get it he parts with
his physical health by overwork He parts
with his conscience He parts with much
domestic enjoyment. He parts with oppor
tunities for literary culture. He parts with
his soul And so he makes over his entire
nature TO the world
He does it in four installments He pays
down the first installment. and one-fourth

Some years ago there came down fierce
storm on the seacoast, aud "A vessel got in
the breakers and was going to pieces.
They threw up some signal of distress and
the people on shore saw them. They put
out in a lifeboat They came on, and they
saw the poor sailors, almost exhausted,
clinging to a raft, and so afraid were the
boatmen that the men would give up be
fore they got to them they gave them three
rounds of cheers, and cried: Hold on,
therel hold onl Wen save your After
awhile the boat came up. One man was
saved by having the boathook put in the
collar of his coat. and some In one way and
some in another; but they all got into the
boat "Now," says the captain. for the
shore. Pull away now. pullP'
The people on the land were afraid the
lifeboat had gone down. They said; How
long the boat stays. Why, it must have
been swamped and they have all persisted
together" And there were men and wom-
en- on the pier heads and on the beach
wringing their hands. and while they
waited and watched they saw something
looming up through the mist, and il turned
out 10 be the lifeboat. As soon as it came
within speaking distance the people on the
shore cried out; Did you save any of thems
Did you save any of themY And as the
boat swept through the boiling surf and
came to the pier head the captain waved
his hand over the exhausted sailors that
lay fat ON the bottom OF the boat and cried;
"All savedl Thank God All savedl''
So may it be today. The waves of your
sin run high, the storm is on you. but
cheer you with this Gospel hope God
grant that within the next ten minutes we
may row with you into the harbor Of Gods
mercy And when these Christian men
gather around TO see the result Of this serv-
ice, and the glorified gathering on the pier
heads Of heaven TO watch and TO listen,
may we be able to report all savedl Young
and old, good and badi All savedl Saved
for time Saved Tor eternity. And 50 it
came to pass that they all escaped safe to
