TEXT: "Bear ye one another's burdens
and so fulfill the law of Christ."—Galatlans
vl., 2.
Every man for himself! If there be room
for only one more passenger in the lifeboat
Ret in yourself. If there be a burden to
lift, you supervise while others shoulder it.
You be the digit while others are the
ciphers on the right hand side—nothing in
themselves, but augmenting you. In oppo
sition to that theory of selfishness Paul ad
vances in my text the gospel theory, "Bear
ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the
law of Christ."
Everybody has burdens. Sometimes
they come down upon the shoulders, some
times they come down upon the head,
sometimes they come down upon the heart.
Looking over nny assembly, tliey all seem
well and bright and easy, but eaoh one has
a burden to lift, and some of them have
more than they can lift. I'aul proposes to
split up these burdens into fragments. You
take part of mine, and I must take part of
yours, and each one will take part of the
others, and so we will fulfill the law of
Christ.
.Mrs. Appleton, of Boston, the daughter
ofDnuiel Webster, was dying after long
illness. The great lawyer after pleading
«m important case in the courtroom on his
way home stopped at the house of Ills
daughter and went into her sickroom. She
said to him. "Father, why are you out to
day In this cold weather without an over
coat?" The grentjlawyer went Into the next
room and was in a flood of tears, saying,
"Hying herself, yet thinking only of me."
Oh, how much more beautiful is care for
others than this everlasting taking care of
ourselves! Iligli up In the wall of the tem
ple of Baalbec there are three stones, eacli
weighing 1100 tons. They were lifted up by
a style ot machinery that Is now among
the "lost urts. But In my text is the gospel
machinery, by which the vaster and the
heavier tonnage of the world's burden is to
be lifted from the crushed heart of the hu
man race. What you and I most need to
learn Is the spirit of helpfulness.
Encourage the merchant. If he have a
superior style of goods, tell him so. If ho
have with "his clerks adorned the show
•windows and the shelves, comrllment his
taste. If he have a good business locality,
if he have had great success, if he have
brilliant prospects for the future, reoognixe
all this. Be not afraid that he will become
•Hrrogant and puffed up by your approval.
Before night some shopgoing person will
come in and tell him that his prices are ex
orbitant and that his goods are of an In
ferior quality and that his show window
gave promise" of far better things than he
found inside. Before the night of the day
in which you fay encouraging words to
that merchant there will be some crank,
male or female, who will come Into the
store and depreciate everything and haul
down enough goods from the shelves to lit
out a family for a whole wiuter without
buying a cent's worth. If the merchant
be a grocer, there will lie some one before
night who will come into his establishment
and taste of this and taste of that and
taste of everything else, in that way steal
ing all the profits of anything that ho may
purchase—buying three apples while he
is eating one orange!
Before the night of the day when you
approve that merchant ho will have a bad
<!ebt which he will have to erase, a bad
debt made by some ono who has moved
away from the neighborhood without giv
ing any hint of the place ,of destination.
Before the night ot tlie day when you have
uttered encouraging words to the mer
chant there will be some woman who will
■return to his store and say she had lost
her purse; she left it there in the store, she
brought It there, she did not take it away,
she knows it is there, leaving you to make
any delicate and complimentary inference
that you wish to make. Before night that
merchant will hear that some style of
goods of which he has a largo supply is
going out of fashion, and there will be
some one who will come into the store and
pay a bill under protest, saying lie has
paid it before ; but the receipt has been
lost. Now, encourage that merchant, not
fearing that ho will become arrogant or
pufTad up. for there will bo before night
enough unpleasant words said to keep him
from becoming apoplectic with plethora
or praise.
Encourage newspaper men. If you
knew how many annoyances they have, if
you understood that their most elaborate
article is sometimes flung out because
there is such great pressure on the col
"imns, and that an accurate report of a
opeeeh is expected, although the utterance
be so indistinct the discourse Is one long
stenographic guess, and that the midnight
which finds you asleep demands that they
be awake, ana that they are sometimes
ground between the wheels of our great
brain manufactories; sickened at the often
upproach of men who want complimentary
newspaper notices or who want newspaper
retraction; one day sent to report a burial,
the next day to report a pugilistic encoun
ter; shifted from place to jdace by sudden
revolution which Is liable to take place
any day In our great journalistic establish
ments; precarious life becoming more and
more precarious—if you understood it you
you would be more sympathetic. Be affa
ble when you have not an ax to be sharp
ened on their grindstone. Discuss In your
mind what the nineteenth century would
be without the newspaper and give en
couraging words to all who are engaged in
this interest, from the chief of editorial
department down to the boy that throws
the morning or evening newspaper into
your basement window.
Encourage mechanics. They will plumb
the pipes, or they will calcimine the ceil
ings, on they will put down the carpets, or
they will grain the doors, or they will
fashion the wardrobe. Be not among those
who never say anything to a mechanic ex
cept to find fault. If he has done a job
well, tell him it is splendidly done. The
book Is well bound, the door Is well grained,
the chandelier is well swung, the work is
grandly accomplished. Be not among those
employers who never say anything to their
employes except to swear at them. Do not
be afraid you will make that mechanic so
puffed up and arrogant he will never again
want to be seen with working apron or
In shirt sleeves, for before the night comes
of that day when you praise him there
will be a lawsuit brought against him
because ho did not finish his work as soon
as he promised it, forgetful of tho fact that
his wife has been sick and two of his chil
dren have died of scarlet fever and he has
had a felon on a linger of tho light hand.
Denounced perhaps because the paint is
very faint in color, not recognizing the
fact that tha mechanic himself has been
cheated out of the right Ingredients, and
that he did not find out the trouble in
time, or scolded at because he seems to
have lamed a horse by unskillful shoeing,
when the horse has for months had spßvin
or ringbone or springhalt. You feel that
you have the right to find fault with a me
chanic when he does ill. Do you ever
praise a mechanic when he does well?
Encourage tho farmers. They come in
to vourstores, >ou meet thom In the city
markets, you often associate with them
in the summer months. Office seekers go
through the land ind they stand on politi
cal platforms, and they tell the farmers
the story about the independent life of a
farmer, giving flattery where they
ought to give sympathy. Independent of
what? I was brought up on a farm, I
■worked on a farm, I know all about
it. I hardly saw a city until I
was grown, and 1 tell you that
there are no class of people in this
country who have it harder and
who more need your sympathy than
Uru>«B. Independent ot what? 01 tbt
eurculio that sting* the peach trees, ol
the rust In the wheat, of the long rain with
the rye down? Independent ot the grogs
hopper, of the loaust. of the army worm, of
the potato bug? Independent of the
drought that burns up the harvest? Inde
pendent of the cow with the hollow horn,
or the sheep with the foot rot, or the pet
horse with a nail in his hoof? Independent
of the cold that freezes out the winter
grain? Independent of the snow bank out
of which he must shovel himself? Indepen
dent of the cold weather when he stands
thrashing his numbed lingers around his
body to keep them from being frosted? In
dependent of the frozen ears,and the
frozen feet? Independent of what?
Fancy farmers who have made their
fortunes in che city and go out in the
country to build houses with all the
modern improvements und make farming
a luxury may not need any solace, but the
yeomanry who got their living out of the
soil and who that way hHve to clothe their
families and educate their children and
pay their taxes and meet the Interest on
mortgaged farms—such men flud a terrlflo
struggle. I demand that office seekers
and politicians fold up their gaseous and
imbecile speeches about the independent
life of a farmer and substitute some word
ot comfort drawn from the fuct that they
are free from city conventionalities and
city epidemics and city temptations.
Encouruge the doctors. You praise the
dootor when ho brings you up from au
awful crisis of disease, but do vou praise
the doctor when, through skillful treat
ment of the incipieut stages of disease, he
keeps you from sinking down to t'«o awful
crisis? There is a great deal of cheap and
heartless wit about doctors, but I notice
that the people who get off the wit are the
llrst to send for a doctor when there Is any
thing the matter. There are those who
undertake to say in our dny that doctors
ure really useless. One man has written a
book entitled, '-Every Man His Own Doc
tor." Thut author ought to write one more
book entitled, " Every Man His Own Un
dertaker." "Oh," says some one, "phy
sicians in constant presence of pain get
hard hearted !" Do they ? The most cele
brated surgeon of the last generation stood
in a clinical department of one of the New
York medical colleges, the students gath
ered In the amphitheater to see a very
painful operation on a little child. The old
surgeon said: "Gentlemen, excuse me if 1
I retire. Theso surgeons can do this as |
well as I can, and as I get older it gives me
more and more distress to see pain."
Encourage the lawyers. They are often 1
cheated out of their fees, nnd so often have |
to breathe the villainous air of courtrooms, |
nnd they so often have to bear ponderous ,
responsibility, and they have to maintain
against the sharks in their profession the :
dignity of that calling which was honored 1
by the fact that the only man allowed to j
stand on Mount Sinai beside the Lord was I
Moses, the lawyer, and that the Bible j
speaks of Christ as the advocate. Encour- j
age lawyers In their profession of trans
cendent importance—a profession honored
by having on the bench n Chief Justice
Story and at the bar a Rufus Choate:
Encourage the teachers in our public
schools—occupation arduous and poorly
compensated. In all the cities when there
comes a lit of economy on the part of offi
cials the llrst thing to do is always to cut
down teachers' salaries. To take forty or
fifty boys whose parents suppose them
precocious and keep the parents from
llndlng out their mistake; to take an empty
head and 1111 It; to meet the expectation of
parents who think their children at llfteen
years of age ought to be mathematicians
and metaphysicians nnd rhetoricians; to
work successfully that great stuffing ma
chine, the modern school system, is a very
arduous work. Encourage them by the
usefulness and tile everlastingness aud tho
magnitude o! thoir occupation, and when
yourchlldren do well compliment the in
structor, praise the teacher, thank the ed
ucator.
Encourage all invalids by telling them
how many you have knowu witli the same
aliments who got well, and not by telling
them of their sunken eye or asking them
whetlwir the color of their cheek is really
hectic or mentioning cases in which that
style of disease ended fatally or telling
them bow badly they look. Cheerful
words are more soothing than chloral,
more stimulating thau cognac, more tonle
than bitters. Many an invalid has re
covered through the Influence ot cheerful
surroundings.
Encourage all starting in life by yourself
becoming reminiscent. Established mer
chants, by telling these young merchants
when you got your first customer,and how
you sat behind the counter eating your
luncheon with one eye on the door. Es
tablished lawyers, encourage young law
yers by telling of tho time when you broke
down in your first speech. Estoblished
ministers of the gospel, encourage young
ministers by merciful examination of theo
logical candidates, not walking around
with a profundity and overwhelmlngness
of manner as though you were one of the
eternal decrees. Doctor established, by
telling young doctors how you yourself
once mistook the measles for scarlatina.'
Aud if you have nothing to say that Is en
couraging, 0 man, put your teeth tightly
together and cover them with the curtain
of your Hp, compress your lips aud put
vour hand over your mouth uud keep
still.
Encourage the troubled by thoughts ol
releuse and reassoclatlon. Encourngotho
aged by thoughts of eternal juvenescence.
Encourage the herdsman amid the troughs
of sin togo back to the banquet at the
father's homesteud. Give us tones in the
mujor key Instead of the minor. Give us
"Coronation" instead of "Naomi." You
have seen cars so arranged that one enr
going down the hill rolled another car up
the hill. They nearly balanced each other.
And every man that'llnds life up hill ought
to be helped by those who have passed the
heights and are descending to the vale.
Oh, let us bear one another's burdens!
A gentleman in England died leaving his
fortune by will to two sons. The son that
staid at home destroyed the father's will
and pretended that the brother who was
absent was dead and burled. The absent
brother after awhile returned and claimed
his part of the property. Judges und
jurors were to bo bribed to say that the re
turned brother and son was no son at all,
but only an Impostor. The trial came on.
Sir Matthew Hale, the pride of tho English
courtroom aud for twenty years the pride
of jurisprudence, heard that that injustice
was about to be practiced. He put oft
his official robe. He put on the garb of
a miller. Ho went to the village where
that trial was to take place. He entered
the courtroom. He somehow got empan
eled as one of the jurors. The bribes came
around, and tho man gave ten pieces of
gold to tho other jurors, but as this was
only a poor miller tho briber gave to him
only live pieces of gold. A verdiot was
brought in rejecting tho rights of this re
turned brother. He was to have no share
In tho inhorltanse. "Hold, my lord!" said
the miller. "Hold; wo are not all agreed
on this verdict. Theso other men have
received ten pieces of gold In bribery,
and I have received only Ave." "Who
iro you? Where do you come from?" said
the judge on the bench. The response
was:"l am from Westminster Hall;
ray name Is Matthew Hale, lord chief
justice of the king's bench. Off of that
(dace thou villain!" And so the injustice
was balked, and so the young man got his
Inheritance. It was all for another that
Sir Matthew Hale took off his robe and put
jn the garb of a miller. And so Christ took
}IT His robe of royalty and put on the attire
)f our humanity, and in that disguise He
won our eternal portion. Now are we the
ions of Godl Joint heirs! We went oft
'rom home sure enough, but we got back
n time to receive our eternal inheritance,
knd If Christ bore our burden, surely we
:an afford to bear each other's burdens.

The n.ittsTii of Alcohol.
At tlie last meeting of the Paris Hospitals
Medical Society, M. Legondre, alarmed by
the ever-increasing amount of drunken
ness, askeil if it would not be possible to
withstand this by means of meetings, In
sistence on the dangers of alcohol, and by
what lie considered an even better method,
tliat Is, getting U|i for the instruction of
patients lantern shows with exhibitions of
anatomic preparations to show the dangers
of alcohol. M. Legen.lri has had printed
for the use of all his patients*little leaflet,
the text of which runs as follows:
"Most of the diseases treated in the hos
pitals ariso from alcoholic drinks—that Is
to say, tliev are either caused or aggravated
by the abuse of alcohol. All alcoholic
drinks are dangerous, and the most harm
ful are those which contain aromatlcs in
addition to alcohol—as, for instunce,
absinthe and the so-called aperients, called
ainers.
"Alcoholic drinks are more dangerous
when taken on an empty stomach or be
tweeu meals. A man necessarily becomes
an alcoholic—i. e., slowly poisoned by alco
hol—even if he never gets drunk, when
every day ho drinks alcohol in the form of
liqueur or too much wine, more than one
litre per diem.
"Alcohol is a poison the habitual use of
which destroys more or less quickly, but
none the less certainly, all the organs most
ne.-essary to life—the stomach, the liver,
the kidneys, the blood vessels, the heart
unit the brain. Alcohol excites man, but
does not strengthen him. It is no substi
tute for food, but taken away the taste for
it. Those who often drink alcohol or too
much wine ("more than one litre a day) are
much more liable to illness, and when ill
are much worse, for the disease Is ofteu
complicated with fatal delirium.
"Alcohol is a frequent cause of consump
tion by its power of weakening the lungs.
Every year we see patients who attend the
hospitals for alcoholism eoino back some
months later suffering from consumption.
Fathers and inotiiers who drink often have
children who are deformed or idiots or who
die trout llts."
The llest Cure.
Lev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage said in a re
cent sermon:
.V celebrated doctor of France has re
cently discovered something which all
drinkers ought to know. He has found
out that alcohol iu every shape, whether
of wine or brandy or beer, contains para
sitic life, called bacillus potumanie. lly a
powerful microscope these living things
are discovered, and when vou take strong
drink you take them into the stomach, and
then into your blood, and getting into the
crimson coals of life they go into every
tissue of your body, and your entire or
ganism is taken possession of l>y these
noxious infinitesimals. When iu delirium
tremens a man sees every form of reptili
an life, it is only these parasites of the
brain in exaggerated size. It is not a hal
lucination that the victim Is suffering
from. He only sees in the room what is
actually crawling and rioting In his own
brain, Every time you take strong drink
you swal'ow these maggots, and every
time the imbiber of alcohol in any shape
feels vertigo or rheumatism or nausea, it
|s ouly the jubilee of these maggots. Ef
forts are being made for the discovery of
some germicide that can kill the parasites
of alcoholism, but the only thing that will
ever extirpate them is abstinence, to
which I would before God swear all young,
men and old."
Treatment of Inebriate* in Rertnanjr.
The sixth paragraph of the new code,
which will come into operation in Germany
iu 11100, enacts compulsory treatment of
liabituul drunkards. Involving their being
placed under a curator, who will be em
powered to put the individual anywhere
for treatment until discharged from curu
torship by the court. The exact descrip
tion is: "He who. In consequence of ine
briety, cannot provide for his affairs, or
brings himself or his family into the dan
ger of need or endangers the safety of
others." This measure was flr.-t advocated
iu 18G3 at a meeting at Hanover.
A Drunkard'* Will.
A 'lying drunkard In Oswego, New York,
lelt the following as his "last will and testa
ment:" "I leave to society u ruined char
acter, a wretched example and a memory
that will soon rot. X leave to my parents
as much sorrow as they can, in their feeblo
state, bear. I leave to my brothers and
sisters as much shame and mortification as
I can bring on them. I leave to my wife a
broken heart and a life of shame. I leave
to each of my children poverty, Ignorance,
a low character and a remembrance that
their father filled a drunkard's grave."
The Saloon-Keeper'* Profit.
If a bushel of corn is worth fifty cents,
when made into whisky it makes four gal
lons which, sold over the bar, brings $24.
The Government gets st.4oof this, the rail
roads forty cents, the distiller 54, and the
saloon-keeper all that remains but the fifty
cents the farmer got when he sold thecorn.
This is not the only transaction In which
the price received by the farmer and that
paid by the consumer Is a long way apart,
but there is no other transaction that can
result iu less good to the country, and no
worse use that corn can be put to.
Paragraph* About tlie CriKadr.
The bright fights of the saloon are stolen
from human eyes.
Consecration and concentration are much
needed In the anti-liquor fight.
At the beginning of 1899 there were 1000
fewer licensed saloons iu Chicago than in
January, 1898.
A St. Louts Grand Jury reports that
seventy-live per cent, of all crimes are
committed by Intoxicated persons.
One of the Parisian religious papers,
when pleading for temperance, gives no
stronger warning than simply that alcohol
is had for children "under th« age of
1 «iT."
Fall-Grown Caribou.
Fall-grown caribou not only flitter
widely in weight, varying from 200 to
100 pounds, but also in general ap
pearance. The prevailing color of
the animal when he has donned his
winter coat is a dark fawn inclining; to
gray and fading to almost pnre white
an the neok and under parts of the
body. Before the snow falls an edu
cated eye is required to distinguish
his form on the sombre gray of the
barrens. Occasionally what are
known as "red bulls" are seen, ani
mals of a dull yellowish color and
very large in size, distinguished by
spindling horns. Some caribou,
especially young cows, are almost as
graceful as the deer, while others re
semble an overgrown goat. They
possess a variety of facial expression
bordering on the grotesque, some ex
hibiting a muzzle arched like that of a
Percheron horse, others a square,
massive nose like that of the domestic
cow, and others resembling the come
ly countenance of the Virginia deer.
A Very Good Bid.
It was at an auction room. The
place was crowded, and the collection
of furniture, art and bric-a-brac being
unusually choice, the bidding had
been very spirited. During an inter
val of tko sale, a man with a pale and
agitated countenance pushed his wav
to the auctioneer's side and engaged
him in a whispered conversation.
Presently he stood aside, and the
auctioneer rapped attention with his
little hammer.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said,
in a loud voice, "I have to inform you
that a gentleman present has lost his
pocketbook containing SISOO. He of
fers $250 for its return."
Instantly a small man in the back
ground sprang upon a chair, and cried
excitedly, "I'll give you $500."

LIVER ILLS:
DB. RAIIWA* & Co., Now York :
Dear Sirs—l have been sick for nearly
two years, and have been doctoring with
some of the mo9t expert doctors of the
United States. I have been bathing in and
drinking hot water at tho Hot Springs,
Ark., but it seemed everything failed to do
nie good. After I 9aw your advertisement
I thought I would try your pills, and have
neurly used two boxes; been taking two at
bedtime and one after breakfast, and they
have done me more good than unything
else I have used. My trouble has been
with the liver. My skin and eyes were all
yellow; I had sleepy, drowsy feelings; felt
like a drunken man; pain right above the
navel, like as if it was bile on top of the
stomach. My bowels were very costive.
My mouth and tongue sore most of the
time. Appetite fair, but food would not
digest, but settle heavy on my stomach,
and some few mouthfuls of food come up
again. I could only eat light food that
digests easily. Please send "Book of Ad
vice." Respectfully, BEN ZAUGG,
Hot Springs, Ark.
