TEXT: "Wisdom crleth without: she ut
tereth her voice in the streets."—Proverbs
112., 20.
We are till ready to listen to the voices of
nature—the voices of the mountain, tho
voices of the sea, the voices of the storm,
the voices of the star. As in some of the
cathedrals in Europe there is an organ at
either end of the building, and the one in
strument responds musloally to tho other,
so in the great cathodral of nature day re
sponds today aud night to night and
flower to flower and star to star in the
great harmonies of the universe. The
springtime Is an evangelist in blossoms
preaching of God's love, and the winter is
a prophet—white bearded —symbolizing
woe against our sins. We are all ready to
listen to the voices of nature, but how few
of us learn anything from the voices of the
noisy and dustv street? You goto your
mechanism and to your work and to your
merchandise, and you come back again,
and often with how different a heart you
pass through the streets. Aro there no
things for us to learn from these pave
ments over which we pass? Are there no
tufts of truth growing up between theso
cobblestones, beaten with the feet of toil
and pain and pleasure, the slow tread of
old age and the quick step of childhood?
Aye, there are great harvests to bo reaped,
and now I thrust in the sickle because the
harvest is ripe. "Wisdom crieth without:
sho uttereth her voice in the streets."
In the first place, the street impresses
me with the fact that this life is a scene of
toll nnd struggle. By ten o'clook every day
the city is jarring with wheels, and shuff
ling with feet, and humming with voices,
and covered with tho breath of smoke
stacks, and a rush with traffickers. Once
in awhile you find a man going along with
folded arms and with leisurely step, as
• hough he had nothing to do; but for the
most part, as you ilnd men going down
these streets on the way to business, there
is anxiety in their faces, as though they
had some errand which must be executed
at the first possible moment. You are
jostled by those who have bargains to
make and notes to sell. Up this ladder
with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with
a roll of bills, on this dray with a load of
goods, digging a cellar, or shingling a roof,
or shoeing a horse, or building a wall, or
mending a watch, or binding a book. In
dustry, with her thousand arms and thou
sand eyes and thousand feet goes on sing
ing her song of work, work, work, while
the mills drum it nnd the steam whistles
fife it. All this not bocause men love toil.
Some one remarked, "Every man is as lazy
ns he can afford to be." But it Is because
necessity with stern brow and with uplifted
whip stand over you re idy whenever you
relax your toll to make your shoulders
sting with the lash.
Can it be that passing up and down
theso streets on your way to work and
business that vou do not learn anything
of the world's toil and anxiety and
struggle? Oh, how many drooping hearts,
how many eyes on the watch, how many
miles traveled, how muny burdens carried,
how many losses suffered, how many
battles fought, how many victories gained,
how many defeats suffered, how many ex
asperations endured; what losses, what
hunger, what wretchedness, what pallor,
what disease, what agony, what despair!
Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of
the street as the multitudes went hither
and yon, and it has seemed to me a great
pantomime, and as I looked upon it my
heart broke. This great tide of human life
that goes down the street Is a rapid, tossed
and turned aside, and dished ahead, and
driven back—beautiful in its confusion,
and confused in its beauty. In thecarpeteil
aisles of the forest, in the woods from
which the eternal shadow Is never lifted,
on the shore of the sea over which iron
coast tosses the tangled foam sprinkling
the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirl
wind nnd tempest, is the best place to
study God, but in tho rushing, swarming,
raving street is the best place ts study
man.
Going down to your place of business
nnd coming home again, I charge you to
look about —see these sighs of poverty, of
wretchedness, of hunger, of sin, of bereave
ment—aud as you go through the streets,
and come back through the streets, gather
up in the arms of your prayer nil the sor
row, all the losses, all the sufferings, all
the bereavements of those whom you pnss,
nnd present them in praver bofore au all
sympathetic God. In the great day of
eternity there will be thousands of persons
with whom you in this world never ex
changed one word, will rise up and oall
you blessed, and there will be a thousand
fingers pointed at you in heaven, saying:
•'That is the man, that is the woman, who
helped me when I was hungry and sick and
wandering und lost nnd heartbroken. That
is the man, that is the woman," and the
blessing will come down upon you ns
Christ shall say: "I was hungry, and ye
fed Me; I wns naked, and ye clothed Me: I
was sick and in prison, und ye visited Me;
inasmuch as ye did it to those poor waifs of
the streets, yodid it to Mo."
Again, the street impresses mo with the
fact that all clusses and conditions of so
ciety must commingle. Wo somotimes cul
ture a wicked exclusiveness. Intellect de
spises ignorance. Refinement will have
nothing to do with boorishness. Gloves
hate the sunburned hand, and the high
forehead despises tho Hat head, and the
trim hedgerow will have nothing to do
with the wild copsewood, and Athens bates
Nazareth. Tills ought not so to be. The
HStronomer must come 'down from the
starry revelry aud help us in our naviga
tion. Tho surgeon must come away from
his study of the human organism and set
our broken bones. The chemist must come
away from bis laboratory, where he has
been studying analysis and synthesis, and
help us to understand the nature of the
soils. I bless God that all classes of peo
ple are compelled to meet on the street.
The glittering couch wheels clashes against
the scavenger's cart. Fine robes run
against thr peddler's pack. Robust health
meets wan sickness. Honesty confronts
fraud. Every class of people meets every
other class. Impudence and modesty,
pride nnd humility, purity nnd beastliness,
frankness and hypocrisy, meeting on tho
same block, in the same street, in tho same
city. Oh, that is what Solomon meant
when he said, "Tho rich and the poor meet
together; the Lord is the Mai er of them
all."
I like this democratic principle of tho
gospel of Jesus Christ which recognizes
the fact that wo stand beforo God one and
the same platform. Do not take on any
airs. Whatever position you have gained
in society you are nothing but a man,
born of the same paront, regenerated by
the same spirit, cleansed by the same
blood, to 110 down in the same dust, to get
up in the same resurrection. It is high
time that we all acknowledged not only
the Fatherhood of God, but the brother
hood of man.
Again, the street impresses me with the
fact that It is a very hard thing for a man
to keep his heart right nnd get to heaven.
Infinity temptations spring upon us from
these places of public concourse. Amid
so much affluence, how much temptation
to eovetousness and to be discontented
with our humble lot! Amid so many op
portunities for overreaching, what tempta
tion to extortion! Amid so much display,
what temptation to vanity! Amid so many
saloons of strong drink, what alurement
to dissipation! In the maelstroms and
bell gates ot the street N»w many make
quick and eternal shipwreck! It a
■man-of-war comes back from a bat
tle and Is towed into the navy
■yard, we go down to look at the
splintered spars and count the bullet boles
and look with patriotic admiration on th«
flag that floated in victory from the mast
head. But that man Is more of a curiosity
who has gone through thirty years of th«
sharpshootlng of business life and yet sailg
on, victor over the temptations of th«
street. Oh, how many have gone down
under the pressure, leaving not so rauol) as
tho patch of canvas to tell where they per
id! They never had auy peace. Their
dlshonestles'kept tolling In their ear*. If
I lmd an ax and could split open tho beams
ot that fine house, perhaps I would find in
tho very heart of It a skeleton. In his very
best wine there is a smnck of poor man's
sweat. Ob, it is strange that wlieu a man
has devoured widows' houses ho is dis
turbed with indigestion? All the forces of
nature are against him. The floods are
ready to drown him and the earthquake to
swallow him and the fires to consume him
ami the lightnings to smite nim. But the
children of God are on every street, and In
the day when the crowns of heaven nre
distributed some of the brightest of tliem
will bo giveu to those men who were faith
ful to God and faithful to the souls of
others amid the marts of business, proving
themselves the heroes of tho .street.
Mighty were t heir temptations, might y wns
their deliverance and mighty shall bu their
triumph.
Again, the street impresses me with the
fact'that life is full of pretention and sham.
What subterfuge, what double dealing,
what two facedness! Do all peoplo who
wish vou good morning really hope you a
happy day? Do all the people who shake
hands love each other? Are all those anxi
ous about your health who inquire con
cerning it? Do all want to see you who
ask you to call? Does all the world know
half as much as it pretends to know? Is
there not manv a wretched stock of goods
with a brilliant show? Passing up nnd
down the streets to your business and your
work, are you not impressed with the fact
that society is hollow and that that there
are subterfuges and preteusions? Oh,
how many there nre who swagger
and strut, and how few people who aro
natural and walk! While fops simper
and fools chuckle and simpletons giggle,
how few people are natural and laugh!
The courtesan nnd the libertine go down
the street In beautiful apparel, while within
the heart there are volcanoes of passion
consuming their life away. I say these
things not to create in you incredulity or
misanthropy, nor do I forget there nre
thousands of people n great deal hotter
than they soem, but I do not think any
man is prepared for the conflict of this life
until he knows this particular peril. Ehud
comes pretending to pay Ills tax to King
Eglon, and, while he stands in front of tho
king, stabs him through with a dagger un
til tho haft went in after the blade. Judas
Iscarlot kissed Christ.
Again, the street impresses me with tho
fact that it is a great field for Christiau
charity. There are hunger and suffering,
and want nnd wretchedness iu the coun
try, but theso evils chiefly congregate in
our great cities. On every street crime
prowls, and drunkenness staggers, and
shame winks, and puuperlsm thrusts out
its hand asking for alms. Here what is
most squalid and hunger is most lean. A
Christian man, going along a street in New
York, saw a poor lad, and he stopped
nnd said, "My boy, do you know how to
read and write?" The boy made no an
swer. The man asked the question twice
and thrice. "Can you read and write?"
And then the boy answered, with a tear
plashing on the back of his hand. He said
in defiance: "No, sir, don't read nor write,
neither. God, sir, don't want me to read
aud write. Didn't he take away my father
so long ago I never remember to have seen
him? And haven't I had togo along tho
streets to get something to fotch home to
eat for the folks? And didn't I, as soon as
I could carry a basket, have togo out and
pick up cinders and nover have no school
ing, sir? God don't want mo to road, sir.
I can't read nor write, neither." Ob. those
poor wanderersl They have no chance.
Born In degradation, as they get up from
their hands and kuees to walk, they take
their first step on the road of despair. L<3t
us go forth in the name of the Lord Jesns
Christ to rescue them. Let us ministers not
be afraid of soiling our black clothes while
wo go down on that mission. While we
are tying an elaborate knot In our cravat
or while we are in the study rounding off
some period rhetorically we might be sav
ing a soul from death and hiding a multi
tude of sins. O Christian laymen, go out on
this work! If you are uot willing togo
forth yourself, then give of your meaus,
and If you are too lazy togo, and if you
are too stiugy to help, then get out of the
way and hide yourself In tho dens and
caves of the earth, lest, when Christ's
chariot comes along the horses' hoofs
trample you into the mire. Beware lest
the thousands of the destitute of your city
in the last great day rise up and curse
your stupidity and your neglect. Down to
workl Lift them up.
One cold winter's day, as a Christian
man was going along the Battery la New
York, he saw a little girl seated at the gate,
shivering in the cold. He said to her:
"My child, what do you sit there for, this
cold day?" "Oh," sho replied, "I an
waiting for somebody to come und take
care of me." "Why," said the man
"what makes you think anybody will conn
and take care of you?" "Oh," she said,
"my mother died last week, and I was cry
ing very much, and she said: 'Don't cry
dear, though I am gone und your father ii
gone, tho Lord will send somebody to take
crro of you.' My mother nevor told a lie:
sho said some one would come and take
care of me, nnd I am waiting for them tc
come." Ob, yes, they aro waiting foi
you. Men who have money, men who
have influence, men of churches, men ol
great hearts, gutherthem in, gather tberu
in. It is not the will of your Heavenlj
Father that one of these little ones should
perish.
Lastly, the street Impresses me with the
fact that all the people aro looking for
ward. I see expectancy written on almost
every face I meet. Where you find a thou
sand people walking straight on, you oulj
ilnd one stopping and looking buck. The
fuct is, God made us all to look ahead, be
cause we aro immortal. In this trump ol
the multitude ou the streets I hear the
trump of a greut host, marching and
inarching for eternity. Beyond the office,
the store, the shop, the street, there is o
world, popular nnd tremendous. Througt
God's grace, may you reach that blessed
place. A great throug illls those boule
vards, and the streets are arush witb
the chariots of conquerors. Tho inhab
itants go up and down, but they nevei
weep and the never toll. A river flfiws
through that city, with rounded and lux
urious banks, and the trees of life, laden
with everlasting fruitage, bend theii
branches Into the crystal.
Noplumsd hearse rattles over that pavo
ment, for thoy are never sick. With im
mortal health glowing in overy vein, thei
know not how to die. Those towers ol
strength, those palaces of beauty, gleam
in the light of n sun that nevor sets. Oh
heaven, beautiful hoaven! Heaven
wbero our friends are! The take nc
census in that city, for it Is iuhab
lted by "a multitude which DO man
can number." Bank above rank
Host above host. Gallery above gallery
sweeping all around the heavens. Thou
sands ot thousands. Millions of millions
Blessed are they who enter In through thi
gate Into that city. Oh, start for it to
day! Through the blood of the grea'
sacrifice of the Son of God take up voui
inarch to heaven. "The spirit aud thi
brine sny, Come, and, whosoever will, le'
him come and take tiie water of lire freely.'
Join this great throng marching heaven
ward. All the loor.s of invitation are
open. "And I saw twelve gates, aud the
twelve gates were twelve pearls."

the Reform of a Cuntoin That is Too
Prevalent Among People of "Wealth
and Refinement—Society and T>rlnk.
(Bv the lute Blehard a member ot
tlin New Orleans bar. The patlietio story
of his ruined life.)
I liave been to the funeral of my hopes.
And entombed them one by one,
Not a word wns said,
Not a tear wns shed.
When the mournful task was doie.
Slowly and sadly I turned me round
And sought my silent room,
And there alone
By the 000l hearthstone
I wooed the midnight gloom.
And, as the night wind's deepening shade
Lowered above my brow,
I wept o'er the days
When manhood's rays
Were brighter far than now.
The dying embers on the hearth
Gave out their flickering light,
As if to sny,
"This is the way
Thy life shall close in night."
I wept aloud in anguish sore
O'er the blight of prospects fair.
While demons laughed
And early quaffed
My tears like nectar rare.
Through hell's red ball an echo rang,
An echo loud and long,
As In the bowl
I plunged my soul
In the night of madness strong.
And there, within that sparkling glass,
I knew the cause to lie;
This all men own
From zone to zon?.
Yet millions drink and die.
Ought to Know Better.
In nn article on social abuses the Boston
Herald had recently an excellent appeal
for the reform of a custom that is unhap
pily too prevalent among people who have,
or at least are supposed to have the advan
tages of culture and refinement that the
possession of wealth confers. This bad
custom is the unlimited serving of intoxi
cants at entertainments given by what Is
rather vaguely known as "society," and
our esteemed contemporary says:
"Another reform which should be taken
up under similar conditions is the laying
down of a limit at these entertainments
upon the use of intoxicants. It is a custom
at these young people's dances to serve
champagne, and in quite a number of in
stances this has been done with an unfor
tunate absence of moderation. Opinions
may differ as to advisability of freely dis
pensing a stlmulnnt of this kind at dances
where the great majority of tho guests are
under the age of twenty-one. But even
those hostesses who believe it desirable to
follow the existing custom must, if they
think of the matter at all. question the ad
visability of having it drunk to excess.
For the benefit of all concerned, It would
surely be batter to limit the serving of
shampugne to the supper hour, when those
who drank it would do so with the mini
mum of resulting disturbance, rather than
save it served at various times or at p.ll
times until the hour of departure, thus giv
ing direct encouragement to something
which rightly goes by an exceeding}- hard
same.
"There are ladies prominent in the social
.ife of Boston who, if they realized it, would
not on any account do a wrong to a young
man or young woman, or willingly be the
:ause of leading not overstrong young per
lons into temptation, and yet it is by no
means impossible that some of these have,
by their thoughtlessness, done not a little
to undertake the moral resistance ot those
who have been the recipients of their hos
pitality. All that Is asked is that matters
Should be brought within what every one
would personally agree were reasonable
bounds, but bounds now found somewhat
difficult of establishment because there is
DO social code laid down, and there is a dis
inclination on the part of each hostess to
Set up an arbitrary standard of her own.
It would be easily possible for fifteen or
twonty social leaders in Boston to lav down
» code of procedure in the matter we have
Indicated, and possible in others, which
practically all would observe."
Anatomical Effects of Drink.
Moved by tho over-increasing amount of
Iruukennoss in France, a Paris physician
Is preparing for the instruction of the pub
lic a series of lantern slides showing the
anatomical effects of the use of alcohol,
[t would appear that most of the diseases
Ireated in the French hospitals arise from
the use ot alcohol. All alcoholic drinks are
more injurious when taken on an empty
(tomach or between meals. The man who
Jrinks every day alcohol in the form ot
liquors, or too much wine, becomes slowly
poisoned. The effect of this poisoning is to
lestroy, more or less quickly, but none the
less certainly, all tho organs most neces
jary to life—the stomach, the liver, the
iidneys, the blood vessels, the heart and
the brain. Habitual imbibers of alcohol to
(xcess are much more liable than temper
ate persons to Illness, and when ill have
jnuch less chance of recovery. The inves
tigations of the Parisian medical faculty
souflrm strongly the well-known fact that
tree drinking is a frequent cause of con
sumption from its tendency to weaken the
lungs.
A Whisky Drummer,
A whisky drummer, who lias sold the
iquld damnation for twenty-live years
past, stood in the Globe Hotel the other
lay and made a speech that ought to make
svery temperance man shake hands with
himself. He said:
"In this section of the country the sale
3f whisky Is decreasing very rapidly. We
jell less and less of it with each succeeding
year. People have quit drinking. It is no
longer considered in goou form to swill it.
A drunken man Is a disgrace. A tippler
cannot hold a job anywhere that is respect
able and progressive. The railroads won't
have him, neither will anybody else. The
sentiment is getting stronger against it
all the time. Tho teacher, the preaoher
*nd tho paper are all creating sentiment
fegainst hard drinking. In twenty years
Jrom now the whisky problem will have
solved itself. Then soda water, lemonade
and other light beverages will have crowd
