J Ee THE OUTLOOK INSPIRING. ence in the Next Hundred Years. vances Predicted-Virtue Will Take the Place of Vice. [Copyright 11. | WasmivaTox, D. C.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage tells something of what he expects the next hundred years will achieve, and declares that the outlook is most inspiring; text, 11 Samuel xxii, 4, “A morning without clouds.” “What do you expect of this new cen- tury?” is the question often asked of me, and many others have been plied with the same inquiry. In the realm of invention I expect something as startling as the tele raph and the telephone and the X-ray. n the realm of poetry I expect ag great poets as reir and Tennyson. In the realm of religion 1 expect more than one Pentecost like that of 1857, when 500, 000 souls professed to have been con- verted. 1 expect that universal peace will reign, and that before the arrival of the two thousandth year gunpowder will be out of use except for glasting rocks or py- rotechnic entertainment. 1 expect that before this new century has expired the millennium will be fully inaugurated. The twentieth century will be as much an im- provement on the nineteenth century as the nineteenth century was an improve- ment on the eighteenth. Bul the conven- tional length of sermonic discourse ill al- low us only time for one hopeful consider- ation, and that will be the redemption of the cities. Pulpit and printing press for the most part in our day are busy discussing the condition of the cities at this time, but would it not be healthfully encouraging to all Christian workers and to all who are toiling to make the world better if we should this morning, for a little while, Jook forward to the time when our cities shall be revolutics zed by the gospel of the Bon of God, and all the darkness of sin and trouble and crime and suffering shall be gone from the sky, and it shall be “a morning without clouds?” Every man has pride in the city of his nativity or residence if it be a city distin. ished for any dignity or prowess. Caesar Pe of his native Rome, Virgil of Mantua, Lycurgus of Sparta, Demosthe- nes of Athens, Archimedes of Syracuse and Paul of Tarsus. I should have suspi- cion of base heartedness in a man had no escepecial interest in the city of his birth or residence—no exhilarat at the evidence of its prosperity, or embellishments, or its ment. 1 have noticed that a man never likeaa city where he has not behaved well! ) Ww ho its artistic advance- scientific never like the city that § hicle.

If I should find a man coming from any city, having no pride in that city, that eity having been the place of his nativity or now being the place of his residence, 1 would feel like asking him right “What mean thing have vou been there? What outrageous thing have been guilty of that you do not lil place” Every city is influenced by the ch of the men who founded it. Romu pressed his life upon Rome. The pilgrim fathers will never relax their grasp from New England. William Penn left a leg acy of fair dealing and integrity to Phila deiphia, and you can now, any day, on the streets of that city, see his customs, his manners, his morals, his his wife's bonnet and his meeting house. So the Hollanders, founding New York, left their impression on all following generations Bo this capital of the nation 1s a perpetual eulogy upon the Washington wh nat, y founded it. I thank God for the place of our resi- dence, and, while there are a thousand things that ought to be corrected and many wrongs that ought to be overthrown while 1 thank God for the past, I look for. ward this morning to a glorious future. « I think we ought—and I take it for granted that you are interested in this great work of evangelizing the cities and saving the world—we ought to toil with the sunlight in our faces. We are not fighting in a miserable Bull Run of defeat. We are on the way to final victory. We are not fol- lowing the rider on the black horse, lead- ing us down to death and darkness and doom, but the rider on the white horse With the moon under His feet and the stars $1 heaven for His tiara. Hail, conqueror, I know there are sorrows and tidre are sins and there are sufferings all around about us, but as in some bitter cold win ter day when we are thrashing our arms around us to keep our thumbs from frees ng we think of the warm spring day that will after awhile come, or in the dark win ter night we look up and see the northern lights, the windows of heaven illumined yY some great victory, from the night of suffering and sorrow and light streaming through from the other side, and we know we are on the way to “a morning without clouds.” I want you to understand. all you who are toiling for Christ, that the castles of sin are all going to be captured. The vie going to be so complete that not a man on earth, or an angel in heaven, or a devil in hell will dispute it. How do I know? 1 know it just as certainly as God lives and that this is holy truth. The old Bible is full of it. The nation is to be saved; of course all the cities are to be saved. Tt makes a great difference with you and with me whether we are toiling on toward 8 defeat or toiling on toward a victory. Now, in this municipal elevation of which I speak 1 have to remark there will be greater financial prosperity than our cities have ever seen. Some le seem to have a morbid idea of the millennium, and they think when the better time Soles 10 oe cities and the world pe le give ir time up to Im and the relating of © r voli - ence, and as all social life will be puri fied there will be no hilarity, and ag all business will be purified there will be no Siatarprise, There is no d for such an absurd anticipation, the time of which I , W there will be re wil now one fortune is made. e now busi depen a hundred fortunes nds upon coctdence To i and man.

There will be no need of support- ing criminals; there will be no eriminals. Virtue will have taken the place of vice. There will be no orphan asylums, for pa ernment?

THE CHANGE OF LIFE Is the most important period in a wo- man's existence. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and some- times painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop for good, are symptoms of a dan- gerous, nervous trouble, Those hot flashes are just so many calls from nature for help.
