TALMAGE'S SERMONS.
Many Disconnected Actors Make Fail
ures of Their Parts.
Kisses aud Groans Drive Them Fropr the
Stage aud the Curtain Ring. Down on
BLASTED Life-A beautiful Parallel
Between This Life aud the Drama.

Rev. DR. Talmage's text Sunday was
Job xvii, IS: MEN shall clap their
hands at him and shall hiss him out of
his place"
This allusion seems to be dramatic.
The Bible more than once makes such
alluslons. Paul says: I've are made a
theatrr or spectacle To angels and Is,
meh." Ii is evident from the text that
some of the habits of thpater rocrs
were known in Ioh'S time. because he
describes an actor Missed Off the stage.
The impersonator comes on the boards
and, either through lack of study of
the part he is To take or happiness or
other incapacity, the audience is Of
Tended, and expresses its disapprnha,
ton and disgust 10y kissing, Men
shall clap their hands at him and shall
hiss him ont of his place"
My text suggests that each one Of MS
is put on the stage of this world Ia take
some part. What hardship and suffer
ing and discipline great actors have
undergone year after year that they
might be perfected in their parts. YOU
have often read, but we. put on the
stage Of this life To represent charity
and faith and humility and helpfulness
what little preparation we have
made, although we have three CALLER.
ie', of spectators, earth aud Heaven
and hell! Have we mot been more at
tentive to the part taken by others
than TO the part taken 10y ourselves.
and, while we needed to be looking at
home aud concentrating on our own
duty, we have been criticising the other
performers, and saying, That was too
high, or too low" or too feeble" or
too eNtravagant," or too tame" or
too demonstrative. while we our
selves were making a dead failure and
prepsring To he ignominiously Missed
off The stage?
Each one is assigned 10 place; no
'supernumeraries hanging around the
drama of life Ia take this OF that or the
other part, as they may Ice called upon
No one can take our place. We
can take no other place. Neither
can we put of our character: no
change of apparel can make Ms any
~one else than that which we eternally
are.

Ag Edgar of Bsfland made law
tiat the drinking cups should have
pins fastened at a certain point in their
side, 80 that the indulger might be re-
minded 20 stop before he got TO the
bottom. But there are no pins project
ing from the sides of the modern wine
cup or beer mug, and the first point at
which millions stop is at the grayelly
bottom of their own grave. Dr. Sax,
of France, has discovered something
which all drinkers ought TO know. lie
has found ont that alcohol. in every
shape, whether of wine or brandy or
beer, contains parasitic life called
bacillus Potumaniae. BY a powerful
microscope these living things are dis
covered. and when you take strong
drink you take them into the stomach
and then into your blood, and, getting
'nto the crimson canals of life, they
go into every tissue of your body, and
your entire organism is taken poses
