. Bsoostrs. Oct. 28.—-Rev. Dr. Tal-
Inagc. who has left India and is now on
his homeward Journey, has selected as the
subject of his sermon today through the
goes “The Looking Glass," his text be-
. Exodus :uviii, 9, “And he made the
laver of brass, and the foot of it was of
brass, of the looking glasses of the women
assembling."
=’ ,We often hear about the gospel in John,
”and the gospel in Luke, and the gospel in
ultthew, but there is Just as snyly a gos-
pel of Moses, and a gospel of eremiah,
and a gospel of David. In other words,
Christ is as certainly to be found in the
Old Testament as in the New.
When the Israelites were marching
through the wilderness, they carried their
church with them. They called it the
tabernacle. It was a' pitched tent, very
costly, very beautiful. The framework
was made of 43 boards of acacia wood set
in sockets of silver. The curtains of the
' plaoowero purple and scarlet and blue and
due linen and were hung with rrrost artis-
tic loops. The candlestick of that taber-
nacle had shaft and branch and bowl of
solid gold, and the figures of cherubim
' that stood there had wings of gold, and
there were lamps of gold, and snuffers of
gold, and tongs of gold, and rings of gold,
sothat skepticism has sometimes asked,
Where did all that precious material come
from? It is not rrry place to furnish the
precious, stones. It is only to tell that
they were there.
I wish new more especially to speak of
the layer that was built in the midst of
that ancient tabernacle. It was a great
basin from which the priests washed their
hands and feet. The water came down
from the basin in spouts and passed away
after the cleansing. This laver. or basin,
was made out of the looking glasses of the
women who had frequented the tabernacle,
and who had made these their contribution
to the furniture. Those looking glasses
were not made of glass, but they were
brazen. The brass was of a very superior
- quality and polished until it reflected oas-
lly the features of those who looked into
it, so that this lover of looking glasses
spoken of in my text dld double work—it
not only furnished the water in which the
priests washed themselves, but it also, on
its shining, polished surface, pointed out
the spots of pollution on the face which
needed ablutlon. Now, my Christian
friends, asoverythlng in that ancient tab—
ernacle was suggestive of religious truth,
and for the most part positively symbol.
ical of truth, I shall take that lovcrof look-
ing glasses spoken of in the tcxtns all sug-
gestive of the gospcl, which first shows us
our sins as in a mirror and thou washes
them mvay by divine ablation.
Uh, happy day. happy day,
When Jo-sus \\':u~‘lu-rl my i-lllN away!
No Deceit or Flattcry.
I have to say that this is the only look-
ing glass in which a man can see himself
as ho is. 'l'lrcru arc sorm- mirrors that
flatter the fcaturcs and make you look bet
ter than you arc. Then there are, other
mirrors that. distort your features and
make you look worse than you are, but I
want to tell you that this looking glass of
the gospel shows a man just as he is.
When the priests cntcrcd the ancient tab-
ernacle, one glance at the burnished side
of this lover showed them their need of
. cleansing, so this gospel shows the soul
its need of divlrro washing. “All have
sinned and come short of the glory of
God." That is one showing. “All we,
like sheep, have gone astray. “ That is
another showing. “ From the crown of
the head to the sole of the foot there is no
health in us." ’l'hat is another showing.
The world calls tin-so defects, imperfec-
tions, or ccccntricltics. or erratic behavior,
or “wild outs," or "high living," but the
gospel calls thorn sin. transgression, filth
—-the abominable thing that (led hates.
It was just onc glnnco at that mirror that
made l’aul cry out, “Uh, wretched man
that I am, who shall deliver are from the
body of this dcath‘r" and that made lJnvid
cry out, “Purge me with byssop, and I
shall be clean, " and that made Martin
Luther cry out, “Oh, my sins, my sins!"
I am not talking about bad habits. You
and I do not nocd any lliblc to tcll us
that bad habits are wrong; that bias
phcniy andovil speaking are. wrong, but 1
am talking of a sinful union», the source
of all bad thoughts as Wi'll as of all bad
actions. The Apostle Paul calls their roll
in the first chapter of Romans. ’l‘hcy are
a regiment of drain cnenrnping around
every heart, holding it in a tyranny from
which nothing but. the grrscc of (lod can
deliver it.
lfcre, for instrincc, is lngrutitudu. Who
has not been guilty of that sin? If a man
hand as a glass of water, wr- say, ”Thank
you,” but for tllc ionoo lrri'l‘cicu that We
are every day rcccivlng from the hand of
(iod how little expression of gratitude--
for thirst slain-d, for hunger fed, for she]
tor and sunshine and sound sloop and
clothes to wear. how littlo thanks! I sup-
pose thero are men on years of ago who
haw never yet been down on their knccs
in thanksgiving to God for his goodness.
Besides that ingratitudo of our lli'ill‘iti
there is pride—«who has not felt ltd—«pride
that will not submit to God, that wants
its own way, a nature that prefers Wrong
sometimes instead of right, that prefers
to wallow instead of rise up. I do not can-
what you call that. i am not, going to
quarrel with any theologian or any man
who makes any pretensions to theology. i
do not care whether you call it "total de-
pravity” or something else, I simply make
the announcerrmnt of God’s word, affirmed
and confirmed by the experience of hun-
dreds of Christian people, the imagination
of the heart of tuna is evil from youth.
”There is none that docth good-«no, not
one." We haven bad nature. We were
' born with it. We got it from our parents.
They got it from their parents. Our
thoughts are wrong, our nation is wrong
our whole life is obnoxious to God before
conversion, and after conversion not one
good thing in us but that which the grace
of God has planted and fostered. “Well,"
you say, "I can't helluva that to be so.”
All, my door brother, that is because you
have never looked into this lover of look-
ing glasses.
' The Natural Heart of Man.
If you could catch a glimpse of your
natural heart. before God. you would cry
out in amazement and alarm. The very
first thing this gospel duo is to cut down
our pride and self sufficiency. If a man
docs not fcel his lost and ruined condition
before God, he does not want any gospel.
I think the reason that there are so few
conversions in this day is instance the toad-
ency of the preaching is to make men be-
lieve that they are pretty good anyhow-v
quite clever, only wanting a little firing
rap—s tow touches of minus.

In Hampton Court I saw a room where
the four walls Wore covered with looking
glasses, and it made no difference which
way you locked you saw yourself. And
soitisln this gospel of Christ. If you
once step within its full precincts, you
will find your whole character reflected—
every feature of moral defomrity, every
spot of moral taint. If I understand the
word of God, its first announcement is
that we are lost. I care not, my brother,
how magnificently you may have been
born, or what may have been your heri-
tage or ancestry, you are lost by reason of
sin. “But," you say, "what is the use
of all this, of showing a man’s faults
when he can't get rid of them?" None!
“What was the use of that burnished sur-
face to this lover of looking glasses spoken
of in the text if it only showed the spots
on the countenance and the need of wash-
ing and there was nothing to wash with?"
Glory be to Uodl I find that this lover of
looking glasses was filled with fresh water
every morning, and the priest no sooner
looked on its burnished side and saw his
need of cleansing than he \i‘nshcd and was
clean—glorious type of the gospel of my
Lord Jesus, that first shows a man his sin
and then washes it all away!
I want you to rmtico that this lever in
which the priest washed, the lavcr of look‘
ing glass-s, was filled with fresh water
every morning. The servants of the tab
eruaclo brought the water in buckets and
poured it into this lavcr. So it is with the
gospel of Jesus Christ. It has afresh sal-
vation every day. It is not a stagnant
pool filled with accumulated corruptions.
It is living water, which is brought from
the eternal rock to wash away the sills of
yesterday, of one moment ago. ‘ “Uh, " say:
some one, ”I was a (.‘hristian 24) years
ago." That does not mean anything tr:
mc. What are you now? We are not talk-
ing, my brother, about pardon ten years
ago, but about pardon now, a fresh salva-
tion. Suppose a time of war should come,
and I could show the government that I
had been loyal to it 12 ycars ago, would
that excuse me from taking an oath of al-
legiance now? Suppose you ask rno about
my physical health, and I should say I was
wall lb years ago, that docs not say how
I am new. The gospel of Jesus (‘hrist

lrcmark, furl lwr, that this lover of look-
ing glasses spoken of in the text was a
very large layer. 1 always thought, from
the fact that so many washcd there, and
also from tho fact that Solomon aftcrv

it wrrs large, and so suggestive of tho gos»

When our civil war had passed, the gov-

ners. I do not now think of a single pair

state this to put a pmnium upon great
iniquity. I merely say this to encourage
that man, whoever he is, who feels he is
so far gone from God that there is no mor-
cy for him. I want to tell ”him there is a
good chance. Why, Paul was a murderer.
Ile assisted at the execution of Stephen,
and yet Paul was saved. The dying thief
did everything bad. The dying thief was

but the grams of God met him, and Rich
