i SS AOI HS BIA Seti isY. DR TALMAGR The Eminent Washington Divine's Sunday Sermon. Sm Subject: “Hoax and Ruth.’ f Text: “And she went and came and leaned io the fleld after the reapers, and er hap was to light on a part of the fiald belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kin- dred of Eiimeleoh, "Ruth ii, 8, The time that Ruth and Naomi arrive at Bethlehem is harvest time, It was the cus- tom when a sheaf fell from a load in the barvest fleid for the reapers to refuse to gather it up, That was to be left for the poor who might bapper to come along that way. If there were handfuls of grain scat- terad across the fleld after the main harvest had been reaped, instead of raking it, as farmers do now, it was, by the custom of the land, left in its place so that the or, coming that way, might glean it and get their bread. Bat you say, “What is the use of all these harvest folds to Ruth acd Naomi? Naomi is too old and feeble to go out and toil in the sun, and can you expect that Ruth, the young and the beautiful, should tan her cheeks and blister her hands in the harvest fleld?” Boaz owns a large farm, and he goes out to see the reapers gather in the grain. Com- ing there, right behind the swarthy, sun- browned reapers, he beholds a beautiful woman gleaning--a woman more fit to bend to a harp or sit upon a throne than to stoop among the sheaves, Ab, that was an eveat- ful day! It was love at first sight, Boaz forms an attachment for the womanly gleaner-—an attachment full of undying Interest to the church of God in all ages, while Ruth, with an ephah, or nearly a bushel of barley, goes home to Naomi to tell her the successes and adventures of the day. That Rath, who left her native land of Moab in darkness, and traveled through an undying affection for her mother-in-law, is in tho harvest fleld of in Judah, and becomes in after time the aa- cestrass of Jesus Ohrist, the Lord of glory. Out of so dark a night did there ever dawn 80 bright a morning? I learn in the first place from this subject how trouble develops character, It was be- reavement, poverty and exile that developed, fliustrated and announced to all ages the gsublimity of Ruth's character, That is a very unfortunate man who has no trouble, It was sorrow that made Johu Bunyan the better dreamer, and Dr. Young the better poet, and O'Connell the better orator, and Bishop Hall the better preacher, and Havelock the better soldier, and Kitto the etter encyclopaedist, and Rath the better daughter-in-law. I once asked an aged man in regard to his pastor, who was a very brilliant man, “Why is it that your pastor, 80 very brilliant, seems to have so little heart and tenderness in his sermons?’’ “Well,” he repited, “the reason is our pastor has never had any trouble. When misfortune comes upoc him, his style will be different.” After awhile the Lord took a child out of that pastor's house, and though the preacher was Just as brililant as he was betore, oh, the warmth, the tender- ness of his discourses! The fact is that trouble is a great educator. You see some- times a musician sit down at an instrument and his execution is cold and formal ana un- feeling, The reason is that all his life he has been prospered. But let misfortune or bereavement come to that man, and he sits down at the instrument, and you discover the pathos in the first sweep of the keys, Misfortune and trials are great educators. A youug doctor comes {nto a siekroom where there is a dylogchild. Perhaps he is very rough in his prescription and very rough in bis manner and rougn in the fesling of the pulse and rough in hisanswer to the mother’s anxfous question, But years roll on, and there has been one dead in his own house, and now he comes lato the slekroom, and with tearful eyes he looks at the dying child, and he says, “Ob, bow this reminds my Charlie!” Trouble, the great educator. Borrow-—1 see its touch in the grandest painting, I hear {ts tremor in the sweetest ment. Grecian mythology said that the fountain of Hippocrene was strmek out by the foot of the winged horse Pegasus, noticed in life that the brightest and most beautiful fountains of Christian comfort and #piritual life have been struck out by the tron #bod hoof of disaster and calamity, shadnezzar's farnace, I see Paul's prowess best when I find him on the foundering snip under the glare of the lightning in the breakers of Melita, God crowns his chil dren amid the howling of wild beasts and the chopping of blood splashed guillotine and the crackling fires of martyrdom. It took the persecutions of Marcus Aurelius to develo olycarp and Justin Martyr, It took all the hostilities against the Saieotoh Covenanters and the fury of Lord Claver- house to develop James Benwlok and An- drew Meiville and Hugh MeKall, the glori- ous martyrs of Booth history. It took the stormy sea and the December blast and the desolate New England coast and the war whoop of savages to show torth the prowess of the pligrim fathers, When amid the storms they sang. And the stars heard, and the sea, And the sounding alsies of the dim wood Bang to the anthems of the free, It took all our past national distresses, and it takes all our present national sorrows to }ift up our nation on thathigh career where it will march long after the foreign aristoc- racies have mocked and tyrannies that have jeered, shall be swept down under the om- nipotent wrath of God, who hates despotism and who, by the strength of his own red right arm, will make all men free. And so it is individually, and in the family, and in the church and in the world, that through darkness and storm and trouble men, women, churches, nations, are developed, Again, I see in my text the beauty of un- faltering friendship, I supposes there were plenty of friends for Naom! while she was in prosperity, but of all her acquaintances how anany were willing to trudge off with her to- w Judah, when she had to make that lonely journey? One—the heroine of my text, ne—absolutely one. I suppose when Naomi's husband was liviog, and they had plenty of money, and all things went weil, they had a great many callers, but I suppose that after her husband dled, and her prop- erty went, and she got old and poor, she was not troubled very much witheallers. All the birds that sung in the bower while the sun shone have gone to their nests now the night bas tallen, Oh, these beautiful sunflowers that spread out their color inthe morning hour! But they are always asleep when the sun is going down. Job had plenty of friends when be was the richest man in Uz, but when his property went and the trials came then there were none so much that pestered a8 Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Bhubite, and Zophar the Naamathite, Life often seems to be a mere game, where the sucoessful player pulls down all the other men into his own jap, Let sus- Jicions arise about a man's character, and becomes lke a bank in a panie, and all the imputations rush on him and break down in a day that character which in due time would ve had strength to defend itself, There are reputations that have been half a century in building which go down under one push, as a vast temple is consumed by the touch of asulphurous mates, A hog Cant uproot a century plant, In this world, so full of heartlessness and hypoerisy, how thrilling it isto find some friend as faithful is days of adversity as in days of prosperity? David had such a friend in Hushai; the Jews had such a friend in f, who never forgot their cause; Paul bad such a friend in Onesiphorus, who visited him in jall; Christ had such in the Harve whe adhered to Him on the cross; i had such aone fn Ruth, who eried out: * me not to leave thee, or to re- turn from following 1 wil - thou diest will I die, and there willX be buried, The Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part you and me.” Again, I learn from this subject that paths which open in hardship and darkness often aome out in places of joy, When Ruth started from Moab toward Jerusalem to go along with her mother-in-law, I suppose the peo. ple sald: Oh, what a foolish oreature to go Away from her father's house; to go off with a poor old woman toward the land of Judah! They won't live to get across the desert, They will be drowned in the sea, or the jackals of the wildernosa will destroy them." It was a very dark morning when Ruth started off with Naom!. But behold her in my text in the harvest fleid of Boaz, to be afManoad to one of the lords of the land and become ore of the grandmothers of Josus Ohrist, the Lord of glory, And so {it oft.n is that a path which often starts very darkly ends very brightly, When you sturted out for heaven, oh, how dark was the hour of conviction; how Binal thundered and the devils tormented and the darkness thickened! All the sins of your life Jounted upon you and it was the darkest our you ever saw when you first found out our sins, After awhile you went into the arvest fleld of God's mercy. You began to glean In the flelds of divine promise and you had more sheaves than you could carry as the voles of God addressed you saying, *‘Blessed is the man whose transgressions are forgiven and whoso sins are covered.” A very dark starting in convietion, a very bright ending fn the pardon and the hope and the triumph of the gospel! Bo, very often in our world(y business or in our spiritual career we start off on a very dark path, We must go. The flash may shrink back, but there is a voloe within, ora voles from above, saying, “You must go.” And we have to drink the gall, and we have to carry the cross, and we have to traverse the desert, aud we are pounded and flailed of misrepresentation and abuse, and we have to urge our way through 10,000 obstacles that havo been slain by our own right arm. We have to ferd the river, we have to climb the mountain, we have to storm the castle, but, blessed be God, the day of rest and re. come. On the tip top of the cap- tured battlements we will shout the viotory; if not in this world, then (n that world where thers is no gall todrink, no burdens to carry, no battles to fight. How do I know it? Know it! I kpowit because God saya so: “They shall hunger no mors, neither thirst any more, neither shall the san light on them, nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to liviag fountains of water, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes.” It was very hard for Noah to endures the scoffing of the people in his day, while he was trylog to build the ark and was every morning quizzed about his old boat that would never be of any practical use; but when the deluge came and the tops of the mountains disappeared like the backs of sea- monsters, and the elements, lashed up in fury, clapped their hands over a drowned world, then Noah in the ark rejoiced in his own safety and in the safety of his family and looked out on the wreck of a ruined earth. Again, I ses in my subject an illustration of the beauty of female industry. iehold Rath tolling in the harvest fleld under the hot sun or at noon taking plain bread with the reapers or eating the parchel corn which Boaz handed to her. The cus. toms of soolety, of course, have changed, and without the hardships and exposure to which Ruth was subjected every intelligent woman will find somethhg to do. I know there is a slokly sentimentality on this subleat. - In some families there are fatucus of no practical servios to the house old or community, and, though there are so many woes all around about them in tho world they spend their time languishing over & new pattern or bursting into tears at mid. night over the story of some lover who shot himself, They would not design to look at Ruth carrying back the barley on her way home to her mother-in-law, Naomi, All this fastidiousness may seem to do very well father's house, but when the sharp winter of misfortune comes, what of these butterflies? Persons under indulgent parentage may get upon themselves habits of indolence, but when they come out into practical life their soul will recoll with disgust and chagrin. They will feel In thelr hearts what the poet They're elegantly pained from momming unti night. Through that gate of indolence how many men and women have marched, useless on earth, to a destroyed eternity! Bpinola sald to Bir Horace Vere, “Of what did your brother die?” "Of baving nothiag to do,” was the answer, "Ah," sald Spinola, “that's saough to kill any general of us!™ Oh, ean it be possible In this world, wheres there 1s 80 darkness to be enlightened and so many bur- dens to be carried, that there is any person who cannot find anything to do? Mme, de 8tasl did a world of work in her time, and one day, whils she was seated amid {ostruments of musle, all of which she had mastered, and amid manuseript books which she had written, some one sald to her, “How do you find time to attend to all these things?" Ob," she replied, “these are not the things I on proud of. My chief boast is in the fact that | have sovenieen trades, by any one of which I could make a livelihood if necessary.” And, if in secular spheres there is so much to be done, in spiritual work how vast the field! How many dylag ail around about us without one word of comfort! We want more Abigalls, more Hannahs, more Eabeceas, more Marys, more Deborahs, con. sscorated, body, mind, soul, to the Lord who bought them, Once more I learn from my subject the value of gleaning, Ruth golog into that harvest fleld might straw, but what is a straw? I ean’t get any Bariey for myself or my mother-in-law out of these separate straws,” Not so said beautiful Rath, She gathered two straws, and she put them fogether, and more straws, Yut- ting that down, she went and gathered more straws, until she had another sheaf, and another, and another, and another, and then she brought them together, and she threshed them out, and she bad an ephah of barley, nigh a bushel, Ob, that we might alli be Risaners! Elihu Burritt learned maay things while tolling in a blacksmith shop. Abercrombie, the world renowned philosopher, was a phliosopher in Scotland, and he got his phil- osophy, or the chief part of ir, while asa physician he was waiting for the door of the sickroom to open, Yet how many there are in this day who say they are so busy they have no time for mental or spiritual im- provement, The great duties of life eross the fleld like strong reapers and carry off all the hours, and there is only here and there a fragment left that is not worth gleaning, Ah, my friends, you could go into the busiest day aud busiest week of your life and find golden opportunities, which, gathered, might at list make a whoie sheaf for the Lord's garner, It is the stray opportunities and the stray privileges which, taken up and bound together and beaten out, will at last fill you with much joy. Thers are a few moments left worth the gleaning. Now, Ruth, to the fleld! May each ane bave a measure full and running over! Oh, you gleaners, to the fleld! And if there be in your household an aged one or a sick relative that is not strong enough to come forth and toil in this fleid, then jot Ruth take home to fesble Naomi this sheal of gleaning, ““He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with pejoieind, bringing his sheaves with him." May the Lord God of Ruth aad Naomi be our portion forever!

The Italian quarter In the Bixth ward, Brook. yn, possesses some strange people, How they exist is a mystery to the unitiated, One of the favorite pursuits is har- pooning drift wood. Wherever the set of the tide carries the flotsam and jetsam of the river into a siip, there is sure to be a group of Italians, Each is armed with a pole with a sharp spike. A long, light cord is fastened to the pole. The fisher casts his har- poon at a plece of wood, and when the spike strikes it, hauls it in and hoists his prize ashore. The wood is then carted home and dried in the yard of the owner. Some Red Hook residents have made considerable money in this way. Perhaps the most unsavory method of making a living is that of the pick- ers on the Twelfth Ward dumps. Where the city's contractors deposit the refuse of the streets, scores of men, women and children work from morn- ing till Light.

Physicians who have been instructed to deny reports of the Russian Czar's ill health tell remarkable stories of his poysical achievements. They uay that he is out every morning as soon as it is light, and keeps himself in condition by running a verst (1,18¢ yards, or about five furlongs), wate) in hand, to see that he can do it in his average time. Ope of his amusements is sald to be shooting from a bicycle, and he ca) bring down a crow even when he is going at a good speed. Ess The true life is the life we live with- Now Awnd Then When Martha Washington was first lady of the land the Puritan element was contending with the tendency to aristocracy and had not givén up the struggle, We are told by careful biographers that Mrs. Washington re- ceived from eight to ten every Friday evening. Afternoon receptions were not in vogue then. Her levees were numerously attended by all in fashion- able and elegant society. She found- ed the first republican drawing room after the only model then known, the court of Frauce. Nome were permit- ted to attend except those who hed high social and diplomsaticrank. And, writes the historian, ‘full dress was required of all who passed the ordeal of social inspection.” When Mrs. Madison was wife of a President in 1815, she was described as in the meridian of her life and beauty. Radiant and vivacious, she dispensed hospitality and exchanged courtesies with unrivaled grace. She looked and moved a queen. One of her charac- teristics was that, like Mrs, Cleve- land, she never forgot a face. Her quick sympathy was shown in every word she uttered. Mrs. James K. Polk was designated ‘‘the mother of the Republic” when she entered the White House in 1845. She was popu- lar with all classes and a regally beau. tiful woman.

Women do not Like to Tell a Doctor the Details of Their Private Ills, The reason why so many women suffer in silence from the multiple disorders con- nected with their sexual system is that they cannot bear to broach the subject to a man, even if he is a paysician, No one can blame a modest, sensitive woman for this reticence. It Is unneces- sary in these times, however, for a woman makes to all afflicted women a most generous offer. Mrs. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, bids every woman who suffers to write to her and confide every symptom that annoys her, and she will give her advice without charge, and that advice is based upon the greatest experience ever possessed by man or woman in thiscountry, and extends over a period of twenty-three years, and thousands upon thousandsof cases.
