bilities Chiefly With the People Now
Abreast of Us—Help Your Neighbors.
TEXT: "DavUl, after ho had served his
■>wn generation by the will of God, fell on
»leep."—Acts xlli., 3G.
That is a text which has for a long time
oeen running through my mind. Sermons
have a time to bo boru as well as a time to
Jle; a cradle as well as a grave. David,
sowboy and stone sllnger, and fighter, and
dramatist, and blank-verse writer, and
prophet, did bis best for the people of his
■ime, and then went and laid down on the
southern hill of Jerusalem in that sound
ftlumber which nothing but au archangelic
blast can startle. "David, after he had
eerved his own generation by the will of
Clod, feli on sleep." It was his own(gen
sration that he had served; that is, the peo
ple living at the time he lived. And have
you ever thought that our responsibilities
are chiefly with tho people now walking
abreast of us? There are about four genera
tions to a century now, but in olden time,
life was longer, and there was, perhaps,
only one generation to a century.
Taking thfse facts Into the cal
culation, I make a rough guess,
and say that there have been at least one
hundred and eighty generations of the
human family. With referenoe to them we
have no responsibility. We oannot teach
them, we cannot correct their mistakes,
we cannot soothe their sorrows, we cannot
heal their wounds. Their sepulchres are
deaf and dumb to anything we might say
to them. The last regiment of that great
army has passed out of sight. We might
halloo as loud as we could; not one of them
would avert his head to see what we
wanted. I admit that lam in sympathy
with the child whose father had suddenly
died, and who In her little evening prayer
♦anted to continue to pray for her father,
although he bad gone into heaven, and no
more needed her prayers, and looking up
Into her mother's face, said: "Ob, mother,
I cannot leave him all out. Let me say,
thank God that I had a good father once,
so I can keep him in my prayers."
But the one bundreu and eighty genera
tions have passed off. Passed up. Passed
down. Gone forever. Then there are gen
erations to come after our earthly exis
tence has ceased. We sbull not see them;
we shall not hear any of their voices; we
will take no part in their convocations,
their elections, their revolutions, their
catastrophies, their triumphs. We will in
no wise affect the 180 generations gone or
the 180 generations to come, except as
from the galleries of heaven the former
generations look dowL and rejoleo at our
victories, or as we may, by our behavior,
start influences, good or bad, that shall
roll on through the advuueing ages. But
our business is, like David, to serve our
own generation, tho people now living,
those whose lungs now breathe, and whose
hearts now beat. And, mark you, it Is not
a silent procession, but moving. It is a
"forced maroh" at twenty-four miles a
day, each hour being a mile. Going with
that celerity, it has got to be a quick ser
vice on our part, or no sorvlce at ail. Wa
not only cannot teach the 180 generations
past, and will not see the 180 generotlons
to come, but this generation now on the
Btage will soon be off, and we ourselves
will be off with them. Tae fact is, that you
nnd I will have to stnrt very soon for our
work, or it will be irouical and sarcastic
for nnyone after our exit to say of us, as it
was said of David, "After he had served his
own generation by the will of God, he fell
on sleep."
Well, now, let us look around earnestly,
prayerfully, in a common-sense way, and
see what wo can do for our own genera
tion. First of all, let us see to it that, as
far as we can, they have euough to eat.
The human body Is so constituted that
three times a day tho body n-seds food as
much as a lamp needs oil, as much as a
locomotive needs fuel. To meet this want
Got? has girdled' the earth with apple
orchartls, orange groves, wheat fields, and
oceans full of fish, and prairies full of cat
tle. And notwithstanding thlß, I will un
dertake to say that the vast majority of
the human family are now suffering either
for lack of food or the right kind of food.
Our civilization is all askew, and God
only can set it right. Many ot tha great
est estates of to-day have been built out of
the blood and bones of unrequited toil. In
olden times, for the building of forts and
towers, the inhabitants of Ispahan had to
contribute 70,000 skulls, and Bagdad 90,000
human skulls, and that number of people
were compelled to furnish the skulls. But
theso two contributions added together
made only 160,000 skulls, while in ths
tower ef tho world's wealth and
pomp have been wrought the skele
tons of uncounted numbers of
the half-fed populations of the earth
millions of skulls. Don't sit down at vour
table with live or six oourse.s of abundant
supply and think nothing of that tarnily in
tho next street who would take any one of
those five eourees between soup and al
mond nuts nnd feel thfty were In Heaven.
The lack of tho right kind of food is the
much of the drunkenness. After
diinking what many of our grocers call
coffee, sweetened with what manv cult
sugni, and eating what many of our butch
ers call meat, and chewing what many of
our bakers call bread, many of the labor
ing class feel so miserable they are tempted
to put into their nasty pipes what the
tobacoonist calls tobaooo, or go Into the
drinking saloons for what the rum sellers
call beer. Good coffee would do much in
driving out bad rum.
How can we serve our generation with
enough to eat? By sitting down in em
broidered slippers and lounging back in nn
arm-ebair, our mouth puokered up around
a Huvano of the best brand, and through
clouds of luxuriant smoke reading about
politloal eoonomy and the philosophy of
strikes? No, no! By finding out who In
this city has been living on gristle, and
sending them a tenderloin beefsteak. Seek
out Bome family, who through sickness or
conjunction of misfortunes have not enough
to eat, and do for them what Christ did for
the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, mul
tiplying the loaves and the fishes. Let us
quit tho surfeiting of ourselves until wo
oannot aboke down another crumb of cake,
nnd begin the supplies of others' necessi
ties. Ho far from helping appease the
world's hunger are thoie whom Isaiah de
scribes as grinding the faoes of the poor.
You have seen a farmer or a mechanic put
a scythe or an axe on a grindstone, while
some one wns turning it round and round
and the man holding the axe bore on it
harder and harder,while the water dropped
from the grindstone and the edge ot the
nxe from being round and dull, got keener
and keener. So I have seen men who were
put up against the grindstone of hardship,
and while one turned the crank, another
would press the unfortunate harder down
nnd harder down until he was ground away
thinner and thinner—his comforts thinner,
hU prospects thinner, and his face thinner.
And Isnlah shrieks out: "What mean ye
that ye grind the faces of the poor?"
It is an awful thing to bo hungry. It is
nn easy thing for us to be in good humor
with all tho world when we have no Jaok.
But let hunger take full possession of us,
and we would ell turn into barbarians and
cannibals and fiends. Suppose that some
of the energy we are expending In useless
nnd unavailing talk about the Dread ques
tion should be expended in merciful alle
viations. I have read that the battlefield
on whioh more troops met than on any
other in the world's history was the L.ittle-
Jlold of Leipslo—l6o,ooo men under Na
poleon, 360,000 men under Sohwarzeberg.
No, not The greatest and most terrific
battle is now being fought all the world
over. It is the battle for bread. The
ground toue of the finest passage of one ot
the great musical masterpieces, the artist
•nys, was suggested to him by the cry ef
the hungry populaoe of Vienna u the king
rode through and they shouted, "Bread!
Oive us bread!" And all through tha
great harmonies of musical academy and
cathedral I hear the pathos, the ground
tone, the tragedy of unoounted multi
tudes, who, with streaming eyes and wan
cheeks and broken hearts, in behalf of
themselves and their families, are plead- .
ing for bread.
Let us take another look around and see
how we may serve our generation. Let us
see, as far as possible, that they have
enough to wear. God looks upon the
human race, and knows just how many in
habitants the world has. The statistics of
the world's population are carefully taken
in civilized lands, and every few years
offlcors of the government go through
the land and count how many peo
ple thero are In the United States or
England, and great accuracy is reached.
But when people tell us how many Inhabit
ants there are in Asia or Afrloa, at best it
must be a wild guess. Yet God knows the
exact number of people on our planet, and
He has made enough apparel for each, and
If there be fifteen hundred million, fifteen
thousand, fifteen hundred and fifteen peo
ple, then there Is enough apparel for fif
teen hundred million, fifteen thousand, fif
teen hundred and fifteen. Not slouchy ap
parel, not ragged apparel, not insufficient
apparel, but appropriate apparel. At least
two suits for every being on earth, a sum
mer suit and a winter suit. A good pair
of shoes for evory living mortal. A good
coat, a good hat, or a good bonnet, and a
good shawl, and a complete masculine or
feminine outfit of apparel. A wardrobe for
all nations, adapted to all climates, und
not a string or a button or a pin or a hook
or an eye wanting.
But, alasl where are the good olothes for
three-fourths of the human rnoe? The
other one-fourth have appropriated them.
The fact Is, there needs to be and will be,
a redistribution. Not by anarchistic vio
lence. If outlawry had its way, it would
rend and tear and diminish, until, Instead
of three-fourths of the world not properly
attired, four-f) fths would be in rags. I will
let you know how the redistribution will
take place. By generosity on the part of
those Who have a surplus, and Increased
Industry on the part of those suffering
from deficit. Not all, but the large majority
of eases of poverty in this country are a
result of Idleness or drunkenness, either
on the part of the present sufferers or their
ancestors. In most cases the rum jug is
the maelstrom that has swallowed down
the livelihood of those who are in rags.
But things will change, and by generosity
on the part of the crowded wardrobes, and
Industry and sobriety on the part of the
empty wardrobes, there will be enough for
all to wear.
Again, let us look around and see how
we may serve our generation. What short
sighted mortals we would be if we were
anxious to clothe and feed only the most
insignificant part of a man, namely, his
body, while we put forth no effort to clothe
and feed and save his soul. Time is a little
piece broken of! a great eternity. What are
wo doing for the souls of this present gener
ation? Let me say It is a generation worth
saving. Most magnificent men and women
are In It. We make a great ado about the
improvements In navigation.and in locomo
tion, and In art and machinery. We remark
what wonders of telegraph and telephone
and the stethoscope. What improvement Is
electric light over a tallow camlle! But all
these Improvements are insignificant com
pared with the improvement In the human
raoe. In olden times,once In a while, a great
and good man or woman would come up,
and the world hus made a great fuss about
it ever since; but now they are so numer
ous, we scarcely speak about them. Weput
a halo about the people of the past, but I
thiak if the times demanded them, It would
bo round we have now living in this year
1898 llfty Martin Luthers, fifty George
Washlngtons, fifty Lady Huntingdon*, fifty
Elizabeth Frys. During our Civil War
more splendid warriors In North and South
were developed in four years than the
wbolo world developed in the previous
twenty years. I challenge the 4000 years
before Christ to show me tho equal of
charity on a large scale of George Pea
body. This generation of men and women
Is more worth saving than any one of the
180 generations that have passed off.
Where shall we begin? With ourselves.
That Is the pillar from which we must
start. Presoott, the blind historian, tells
us how Plzarro saved his army for the
right when they w&e about deserting him.
With his sword he made a long mark on
the ground. He said: "My men, on the
north side are desertion and death; on the
south side is victory; on the north side
Panama and poverty; on the south side
Peru with all its riches. Choose for your
selves; for my part I goto the south."
Stepping across the lino one by one his
troops followed, and finally his whole
army.
How to get saved? Be willing to accept
Christ, and then accept Htm instantane
ously and forever. Get on the rock first,
and then you will be able to help others
upon the same rock. Men and women have
been saved quicker than I have been talk
ing about it. What! Without a prayer?
Yes. What! Without time to deliberately
think it over? Yes. What! Without a tear?
Yes, believe. That is all. Believe what?
That Jesus died to save you from sin and
death and Hell. Will you? Do you? You
have. Something makes me think you have.
Newllght has come Into vourcountenanoes.
Welcome! welcome! Hail! Hall! Saved
yourselves, how are yon to save others? By
testimony. Tell It to your family. Tell it
to your business associates. Tell it every
where. We will successfully preach no
more religion, and will successfully talk no
more religion than we ourselves have. The
most of that which you do to benefit the
souls of this generation you will effect
through your own behavior. Go wrong,
and that will induce others to go
wrong. Go right, and that will in
duoe others togo right. When ths
great Centennial Exhibition was being held
in Philadelphia the question came up
among the directors as to whether they
should keep the exposition open on Sun
days, when a director, who was a man of
the world from Nevada arose and said, his
volae trembling with emotion, and tears
running down his cheeks: "I feel like a re
turned prodigal. Twenty years ago I went
West and Into a region where we bad no
Sabbath, but to-day old memories oome
back to me, and I remember what my glori
fied mother taught me about keeping San
day, and I seem to hear her voice again
and feel as I did when every evening I
knelt by her side in prayer. Gentlemen, I
vote for the observance of the Christian
Sabbath," and he carried everything by
storm, and' when the question was] put,
"Shall we open the exhibition on the Bab
bath?" it was almost unanimous, "No,"
"No." What one man can do If he does
right, boldly right, emphatloally right!
I confess to you that my one wish is to
serve this generation, not to antagonize
it, not to damage It, not to rule It, bat to
serve it. I woald like to do something
toward helping anstrap Its load, to stop its
tears, to balsam its weunds, and to induce
it to put toot on the upward road that has
as its terminus acclamation rapturous
and gates pearllne. and garlands ama
ranthine, fend fountains ralnbowed, and
dominions enthroned and coroneted, for I
cannot forget that lullaby In the closing
words of my text: "David after he had
served his own generation by the will of God,
fell on sleept" What a lovely sleep It was.
Unflllal Absalom did not trouble it. Ambi
tious AdonUah did not worry it. Persecut
ing Saul did not harrbw It. Exile did not
fill it with nightmare. Since a red-headed
boy amid his father's fiooks at night, he
had not had such agood sleep. At seven
ty years of age he Uald down to it. Be had
nod many a troubled sleep, as in the cav
erns of Adullam, or in.the palace at the
time his enemies'were attempting his cap
ture. But was a peaceful sleep, a
calm sleep, a rettfui sleep, a glorious sleep.
"After he had served his generation by the
will of God, heiiell on sleep."

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.
Tonch Not the Cnp—That Sterling "Jour,
nal of Civilisation," Harper'* Weekly
Provides Teetotalers With • Strong
Argument in Favor of Abstinence.
If you would have the rose be red,
Or count her sweetness for a good,
Have care no single drop to shed
Of human blood.
If you would have the snow be white
When flakes are flattering round yom
way,
Keep all your thoughts, though hid Iron
sight,
CleaD, even as they.
If you would have true love at onll,
Forego the curious wiles of art,
And strive to love men, first of all,
With all your heart.
If you would have good men's respect,
And walk securely in and out.
Be sure the evil germ is checked
Ere the bud sprout.
And If you heed this rhyme of mine,
While yet youth's pulse is playing up,
I charge you, look not on the wine,
Nor touch the cup!
—Alice Cary.
Abstainers and Lift Insurance.
Teetotalers will find a strong argument
In favor of their attitudeon the drink ques
tion In the recent report of James Meikle,
of Birmingham, England, on the compara
tive value of abstainers and non-abstainers
as subjeots for life insurance. The report,
according to a summary of it which is given
by the New York Evening Post, is very
favorable to tho abstainers, and lndlcatei
that their lives should be Insured at lowei
rates than those of their brethren who im
bibe. Out of a large number of lives which
Mr.Melkle drew conclusions from, he found
that between the ages of twenty-five and
thirty-four only n little more than half as
many abstainers died as the actuaries'
tables gave reason to expect, between
thirty-five and forty-four only about a third
(.34.4 per cent.) as many as was expected:
between forty-five and flfty-four only hall
as many. It Is pointed out that the report
Is not so conclusive as it seems agnlnst a
moderate use ot alcohol, because the class
of drinkers includes not only all the truly
moderate drinkers, but a good many im
moderate ones. What sori. of a showing
tho non abstainers whose habits are really
good would make alongside of the abstain
ers does not apipear, and is not likely to be
officially disclosed, because of the obvious
difficulty of discriminating between the
discreet drinkers and the others. The in
surance companies can learn from theii
patrons whether they are abstainers or not,
but not whether they are really moderate
in their potations or tend to indiscretion.
So far as"it goes, however, Mr. Mclkle's re
port certainly indicates that alcohol is not
generally useful to sustain and prolong
life. That much Is pretty generally admit
ted nowadays by candid contemporaries,
whether they drink or not. It is not
claimed any longer that John Barleycorn
In any of his disguises will benefit
persons who are in good health. The most
that Is said is that stimulants are often ex
ceedingly useful in sicknoss, and that well
persons can drink a good deal first and
last without injury, provided they are able
to exercise constant discrimination about
what they drink, and how much, and when
There used to be very many persons about
who sincerely believed that a fair amount
of habitual alcohol would "do you good."
Persons who are of that optnion are
scarcer now. Most drinkers of our day
drink because it gives them pleasure, bul
without any illusion about deriving benefit
from it. Either they don't care whether
It is good for them or not, or they feel able
to determine how much they can drink
Without serious risk of Injury.
Tho average intelligent citizen is neithei
a professed abstainer nor a victim of drink.
He drinks when he chooses and what he
chooses, but his choice most of the time is
to drink tea, coffee, or water. He has
work to do every day.and ho regulates
his potations just as he does his" food, with
a view to keeping himself in condition to
accomplish his daily task with the least In
convenience.—Harper's Weekly.
Scientific Study of Delirium Tremens.
The familiar symptoms of delirium tre'
mens, known as "snakta," have been made
the subject of study with somo interesting
results. It appears that what have been
supposed to be hallucinations, have a cer
tain sort of evidence In fact. Certain
blood vessels in the eyes become congested,
and assume a dark color. These, when
they appear on the retina, which Is or
dinarily transparent, suggest to the nervous
and overwrought patient tho presence ol
somo moving, living creature. Imagina
tion, of course, increases the nervousness,
and finally the mind becomes so disordered
that tho form of an offensive creature is
suggested. As these fancies grow by what
they feed on, it is easy to see how creeping
and crawling things may fill tho soul of
tho victim with tho most horrible sensa
tions.
To Make Soldiers Not Drunkards.
Kentucky Colonels have been laughed
about a good bit, but one of the real new,
fighting sort deserves our warmest praise
—Colonel Gaither, of the Second Kentucky.
One of his line officers urged a regimentnl
canteen. "No!" said the brave Kentuckian,
"I brought these men here to make sol
diers, not drunkards, of them. You can
have a temperance canteen, but no liquor
will be sold in this camp."—National Tem
perance Bannor.
Wliat Drink Money Would Do.
The amount paid for liquor in one yeat
in America would have built 1000 colleges
at a cost for each of} 300,000, founded 1000
libraries, each to contain 50,000 volumes, at
a cost of $3 a volume; erected 1000 churches,
supported 10,000 missionaries, paying each
a salary of SISOO a year; furnished 900,000,-
000 copies of the Bible, established 500 asy
lums at $200,000 each, roiling up the eror
mous sum of eleven hundred and fifty mill
lons of dollars.
General Shafter.
When Santiago was entered bythoAmeri
oan troops. General Shafter Issued a proc
lamation, ordering a general resumption
of business, except the saloons, so that for
the present wholesale and retail liquoi
stores are closed.
Finding a large quantity of red wine 1b
one of the mansions vacated by the Span
lards, the General ordered It all destroyed.
Whui a commentary on the liquor busi
ness.
Llqnor is a Lasli.
No man, when he sees a poor struggling
horse, with a load too heavy fcr him to
drag, lashed and whipped in the street,
says: "How strong that horse hat
become since he has been whipped by the
lash!" Liquor is a lash. It does not lm
f>art natural strength. For the time being
t spurs a man onward. But greater weak
ness than before results from its use.
The War on finm,
At a recent temperance meeting in Bos
ton, Mass., It was stated that in one day
200,000 drinks were sold in the saloons oi
that city.
In Massachusetts at present there are
twenty cities and fifty-seven towns which
have a liquor license feature In their laws,
and twelve cities and 264 towns whioh have
voted for no license.
A coroner's jury at Galesburg, 111., re
cently returned a verdict condemning a
liquor dealer who sold liquor to a man who
was killed by the oars while drank. The
jury also censured the city for allowing the
Jale ot liquor (o drunkards.
Some Klectricai Figures.
A local contributor who has been
making a little investigation has dng
oat a number of very interesting elec
trical facts.
In 1884, he says, the total invest
ment in eleotrical appliances through
out the United States did not aggre
gate much over $1,000,000, while to
day the capitalization of all the eleo
trical concerns in the country is fully
$1,900,000,000.
It is estimated that about $600,000,-
000 has been invested in electric light
ing stations and plants in the United
States. There are to-day in the
United States about 14,000 miles of
electric railroad, with a nominal capi
tal of about $1,000,000,000 and em
ploying about 170,000 men.
People can now actually converse at
a distance of 1800 miles, and conver
sations at distances of 1500 miles are
common. There are now nearly 1,-
000,000 telephones connected with
this country's telephone service, em
ploying a capitalization of about SIOO,-
000,000. Every day about 17,000 em
ployes make on an average more than
3,000,000 telephone connections.—

One Good Spanish Viceroy.
On August 15, 1653, Don Francisco
Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of
Albuquerque, started to rule New
Spain as Viceroy.
He was one of the best Viceroys
tbat Mexico had. He waged relent
less warfare on banditti in the high
ways and monopolists in the cities.
During his Viceroyalty the English
took Jamaica. It was Friar Gage who
suggested this enterprise to Crom
well, having been in Mexico and the
West Indies earlier in the century and
knowing the defenseless condition of
the coasts.
Albuquerque sent reinforcements
to Jamaica and took measures to put
the coasts of Mexico in a state of de
fense.
He was the first to send settlers in
considerable numbers to New Mexico,
where his name, given to one of the
towns, still survives.
He was nearly assassinated by a
soldier named Ledesma in the cathe
dral.
He was succeeded, in 16G0, by the
Conde de Banos, and was promoted to
the Viceroyalty of Sicily.—Mexican
Herald.
