Alas! if, laving "preached to otners, I myself should :>e a castaway." God forbid it. I have examined some of t he commentaries x> see what they thought about this word 'castaway," and I find they differ in regard x> the figure us<Hl, wane tnoy agree in regaru x> the meaning. So I shall make my own selection, and take it in a nautical and seafaring sense, and show yon that men may become spiritual castaways, and liow finally they drift into that calamity. You and I live in seaboard cities. You liave all stood upon the beach. Many of you oave crossed tlio ocean. Some of you have managed vessels in great stress of weather, rhere is a sea captain, and there is another, and yonder is another, and there are a goodly number of you who, though once you did not know the difference between a brig and a bark, and between a diamond knot and a sprit sheet sail knot, and although you could not point out tho weather cross jack brace, -r?/vnl,l nnf iM^ll tllA fA>*/> r-ll'W tLUU VltUllgll JWU WIIIU AIW iK44.t *V.V x. garacts, now you arc as familiar wih a ship as you arc with your right hand and if it wore necessary you could take a vessel clear across to the mouth of the Mersey without the loss of a single sail. Well, there is a dark night in your memory of the sea. The vessel became unmanageable. You saw it was scudding toward the shore. You heard the'cry: "Breakers?ahead! Land on the leo bow!'.' The vessel struck the 'rock and you felt the deck breaking up .under your f<x?t, aud you wero a castaway, as when the Hercules drove on the .coast "of Callraria, as when the" Portuguese brig went staying, splitting, grinding, crashing on Ihfe Goodwins. But whether you liavo followed xno sea or nor., you uu understand the figure when I tell you that ?jjerc ar? men, v.-ho, l>y lheir sins and ton)&j^i;'ns. are thrown h"lp! ;sl Driven t^fore Vfrepkcd for two worlds!

By talking with lOiiiafrSg?- capfruas, i have found out tiiat th'-ro are thuJft^tour causes for such a calamity to a vessel, liift7"'" I1" J1 told that it comes sometimes from creating false lights on the bcach. This was often so in olden times. It is not many years ago, indeed, that vagabonds used to wanrler up and down the beach, getting vessels ashore in the night, throwing up false lights in thenpresence and deceiving them, that they may daspdil and ransack them. All kinds of infernal arts were used to accomplish this. And one night, on the Cornish coast, when the sea was coming in fearfully, some villains i-- -i- _ ' 44-^. ? 1,'awa ??.!

And I have to tell you, that there are a multitude of souls ruined by false lights on the beach. In tho dark night of man's danger, false religion goes up and down the slioro,'shaking its lantern, And men look off and take that flickering and expiring wick as tho signal of safety, and tho cry -is: "Heave the main topsail to tho mast! All is well!" when sudd, n destruction coraeth upon fiierp. and they sliall not escape. Ho there are allTiinas of inntcftis on the beach* ?philosophical lanterns, emicationni lanterns, humanitarian lanterns.

By talking with sea captains, I have found out also that some vessels come to this calamity through sheer recklessness.

Tliey do not know which way they ar.j sailing ftfid' the sea is black with piratical hulks that would grapple then; with hooks Of steel and blindfold them and make them "walk the plank." They do not know what tho next moment may bring forth. Drifting in tljeff theology. Drifting in their habits. Drifting in regard to all their future. Kb God, no Christ, no settled anticipations of eternal felicity; but all th? time coming nearer and nearer to a dangerous ; coast. Some of them are on fire with evil j habit, and they .shall barn oil the sea, tho ' charred bulk tossed up on tuc barren beach; i Many of them .with great' troubles, financial ' troubles, domestic troubles, social troubles- | but thoy iiover pray for comfort. With r.n i aggravation of Sin they pray for no panlon j They do not stoor for the lightship that dances in gladness fit the mouth of heaven's harbor; reckless as to where they como out, drifting further from God, further from early religious influences. further from happiness; and what is the worst thing about it is, they are taking their families along with them, arid the way one goes, the probability is they will all go. Yet no anxiety. As unconscious of danger as tho, passengers fthoard the Arctic one moment before tha Vesta crashed into her. Wrappeel up ia tho business of the store, not remembering that soon they must quit all their earthly possessions. Absorbed in their social position, not knowing that very soon they will have attended tho last levee, and whirled in the last schottishe. They do not deliberately chooso to beruined; neither did the French frigate Medusa aim for the Arguin banks, but there it went to pieces. I wish I could wake you up. The perils are so augmented, you will die just as certainly as you sit there unless you bestir yourself.^ Ave you willing to become a castaway? You throw out no oar. You tako no surroundings. You watch no compass. You arc not calculating your bearings v.'hilo tho wind is abaft, and yonder is a long lino o? foam bounding tha horizon, and you will bo niished on toward it, and thou saiidi; liave perished there, and you are driving in the same direction, lleady about!

But soma of you are saying within yourselves: '"What shall I do'/' i)o? Do? ?V"hy, my brother, do what any ship does when it "is in trouble. Lift a distress signal. On the sea there is a flash and a boom. Yon listen and you look, A vessel is in trouble. The distress gun is sounded, or a rocket is sent up, or a blanket is lifted, or a bundle of rags?anything to oatch the eyo of the passing craft. So if you want to be takou oil *?- - ? -1 TV.,,?.f Tiff n /Jr.-- I Llic wrecii 01 _) uur am, jyu uiuou u <* *j.0tress signal.

Tho blind man J if ted the distress signal when he said: "Lord, that my eyes may be opened." Tho jailer lifted tho distress signal when ho said: "What must I do to be saved?" And help will never come to your soul until you lift some signal. You must make soma demonstration, givo soma simi. make some heaven-piercing outcry for help, lifting the distress signal for the church's prayer, lifting the distress signal for heaveu's pardon. Pray! Pray! Tho voice of the Lord now sounds in your ears: "In Me is thy help." Too proud to raise' such a signal, too proud to be saved. There was au old sailor thumping about in a small Iwit in a tempest. The larger vessel had gone down, lie felt ho must dio.' The surf was breaking over the boat, and he said: "I tool: of? my life beit that it might soon be over, and I thought somewhat indistinctly about my friends cn shore and then I bid them good-bv like, and I was about sinking back and giving it up, when I saw a bright star.
