NlMROD AS A HERO.
" He Was a Mighty Hunter Before
the Lord"
WILD BEASTS DRIVEN AWAY
In His Sermon DIR. Talmage Compares
the Beasts to the Destroying
Evils of Society.

was a mighty hunter before the Lord
In our day hunting is a sport, but in the
lands and the times infested with wild
beasts, it was a matter of life or death
with the people. 1t was very different
from going out on n sunshiny afternoon
with patent breech-loader to shoot reed
birds on the flats. when Pollux and Acth-
les and Diomedes went out to clear the
land OF lions and tigers and bears. Ally
text sets forth Nimrod as a hero when il
presents him with broad shoulders and
shaggy apparel and sun-browned face, and
arm punched with muscle mighty
hunter before the Lord" / think he used
the bow and the arrows with great success
practicing archery.
1 have thought If it is such a grand
thing and such q brave thing to clear wild
beasts out of country. if it is not a bet
ter and drawer thing to hunt down and
destroy those great evils of society that
are stalking the land with fierce eve and
bloody paw, and sharp tusk and quick
spring. / have wondered if there is not
such a thing as gospel archery, by watch
those who have been flying from the truth
may be captured from God and heaven.
The Lord Jesus in His sermon used the
art OF angling for an illustration when He
said: 81 will make you fishers Of men"
And l think / have authority for using
hunting as an illustration OF gospel truth;
and l pray God that there may be many a
man today who VIII begin to study gospel
archery, OF whom it may. after while, re
said: HE was a mighty hunter before
the Lord"
How much awkward Christian work
there is done i'm the world How many
good people there are who drive souls
away from Christ instead of bringing them
TO Him! All their fingers are thumbs-re-
