Wasiiimoton, 1). C This discourse of
Dr. Tnlmage is a full length portrait of a
virtue which all admire, and the lessons
taught are very helpful; text, Hebrews x,
30, "Ye have need of patience."
Yes, we are in awful need of it. Some
of ue have a little of it, and some of us
have none at all. There is less of this
grace in the world than of almost any
other. Faith, hope and charity are all
abloom in hundreds of souls where you
find one specimen of patience, l'aul, the
author of the text, on a conspicuous occa
sion lost his patience with a coworker,
nud from the way he urnes this virtue
upon the Hebrews, upon the Corinthians,
upon the Thessaloniaus, upon the Ho
lunns, upon the Cnlosnians, upon the
young theological student, Timothy, I
conclude he was speaking oat of his own
need of more of this excellence. And I
only wonder that l'aul had any nerves left.
Imprisonment, fliigellution, Mediterranean
cyclone, arrest for treason and conspir
acy, tho wear and tear of prearhing to
angry mobs, those at the door of a thea
tre ijfiul those on the rocks of Mars hill,
left him emnciated and invalid nnd with a
broken Voice and sore eyes und nerves a
jangle. He gives ua a snap shot of him
self when he describes his appearance and
his sermonic dulivery hy saying, "In bodily
presence weak and in Hpeeih contempti
ble," and refers to his iullained eyelids
when, speaking of the ardent friendship of
the tlalatians, he says, "If it had been
possible, ye would have plucked out vour
own eves and have given them to me.'1
We all admire most that which we have
least of. Those of us with unimpressive
visage moat admire beauty; those of us
with discordant voice most extol musical
cadence; those of us with stammering
speech most wonder .at eloquence; those
of us who get provoked at trilles and are
naturally irascible appreciate in others the
cipiopoise nnd the calm endurance of pa
tience. So l'aul, with hands tremulous
with the agitations of a lifetime, writes of
tlie "(iod of patience" and of "minister
of (!od in much patience" and of "patience
of hope" and tells them to "follow alter
patience, and wants tlicm to "run with
patience," and speaks of those "strength
ened with nil might to all patience," and
looks ua all full in the lace aa he makes
the startling charge, "Y have need -of
patience.""
The recording angel, making a pen out
of some plume of a bird of paradise, is not
getting ready to write opposite your name
anything applaudatory. All your sublime
equilibrium of temperament is the result
of worldly success. Hut suppose things
mightily change with you, as they some
times do change. You begin to go down
bill, and it is amazing how many there are
to help you down when you begin to go in
that direction. A great investment tails.
The Colotado silver mine ceases to yield.
You get lnnd poor; your milla, that yield
ed marvels of wealth, are eclipsed by
mills with newly invented machinery; you
get under the feet of the bears of Wall
street. 'or the first time in your life you
need to borrow money, and no one is will
ing to lend. .Under the harrowing worri
ment you get a distressful feeling at the
base of your bruin. Insomnia and nervous
dyspepsia lay hold of you. Y'our health
goes down with your fortune; your circle
of acquaintances narrows, and where onre
you were oppressed by tho fact that you
had not time enough to return ne-half of
the social calls made upon you now the
card basket in your hallway is empty, and
your chief callers arc your creditor and
the family physician, who comes to learn
the effect of the lust prescription. Now
you understand how people can become
pessimistic and cynical and despairful.
You have reached that stupe yourself.
Now you need something thut you havo
not. ihit I know of a re-euforceincut that
you ran have if you will accept it. Y'on
der comes up the road or the sidewalk a
messenger of Clod. Her attire is unpre
tending. She has no wings, for she is not
un angel, but there is something in her
countenance that implies rescue and deliv
erance. She comes up the steps that once
were populous with the atllucut and into
the hallway where the tapestry is getting
faded and frayed, the place now all empty
of worldly admirers, i will tell you her
name if you would like to know it. l'aul
baptized her and gave her the right name.
She is not brilliant, but strong. There is
a deep quicthood iu her manner and a
firmness in her trend, ami in her hand is a
scroll revealing her mission. She comes
from heaven. She was born in the throne
room of the Kin. This is 1'utience. "Ye
have need of patience."
First, patience with the faults of others.
No onu keeps the Ten l.'uiumumliiicnU
equally well. One's temperament decides
which commandments he shall come near
est to keeping, if we break some of the
commandment ourselves, why be so hurd
on those who break other of the ten? If
you and 1 run nguiust one verse of the
twentieth chapter of Kxodus, why should
we so severely excoriate those who run
against another verse of the same chap
ter? Until we are perfect ourselves we
ought to be lenient with our neighbor's
imperfections. Yet it is often the case
that the man most vulnerable is the most
hypercritical. Perhaps he is profane und
yet has no tolerance for theft, when pro
fanity is worso than theft, for, while the
latter is robbery of a man, the former is
robbery of God. l'cihaps he is given to
defamation and detraction and yet feels
himself better than some one who is
guilty of manslaughter, not realizing that
the assassination of character is the worst
kind of assassination. The lavcr for wash
ing in the ancient tabernacle was ut its
side burnished like a looking giuss, so that
those that approached thut lavcr might
sec their need of washing, nnd if hy the
gospel looking glass we discovered our own
need of moral cleansing we would be more
economic of denunciation. The most of
those who go wrong are the victims of cur
cumstuiice. and if you and I hnd been
rocked in the sume iniquitous cradle, and
been all our lives surrounded by the same
baleful inllucmes we would prububly have
done just us badly, perhaps worse, v
We ulti have need of patience with slow
results of Christian work. We want to
see our attempts to do good immediately
successful. Tho world is improving, but
improving at so deliberate a rate; why not
unite rapidity end momentum? Other
wheels turn bo swiftly; why not the gos
pel chariot take electric speed? 1 do not
know. 1 only know that it is Cod's wav.
We whose cradle und grave aie so hear to
gether have to hurry up, but Cod. who
manages this world and the universe, is
from everlasting to everlasting, lie takes
MO years to do thut which lie could do iu
live minutes. His clock strikes once in a
thousand years. While Cod took only a
week to fit up the wor'd for human resi
dence, geogolgy reveals that the founda
tions of the world were eons in being laid,
and Cod watched the glaciers, and the fire,
und the earthquakes, and tho volcanoes as
through centuries and millenniums they
were shaping the world before that lust,
week that put on the arborescencc. A
few days ago my friend wns talking with a
geologist. As they stood near a pile of
rocks my friend said to the scientist, "I
suppose ' these rocks were hundreds of
thousands of years in construction?" And
the geologist replied, "Yes, and you might
ay millions of years, for no ono kuows
but the Lord, and He won't tell."
i If it took so long to make this world at
the start, be not surprised if it takes a
long while to make it over aguiu now that
it has been ruined.
Thb Architect has promised to recon
struct it, and the pluus ure all made, and
ut just the right time it will be so com
plete that it will bo fit for heaven to move
in, if, according to the belief of some of
my friends, this world is to be niado the
eternal abodo of the righteous.
The wall of that temple is going up, and
my only anxiety is to have tho ono brick
thut 1 am trying to make for that wall
turn out to be the right shape und smooth
en all sides, so thut the Mister .Mason will
not reject, it, or nova mucli work witn tne
trowel to Ret it into place. 1 nm respon
sible for only that one brick, though yon
may be responsible for a panel of the door
or a carved pillar or a glittering dome.
So we are Cod's workmen, und all we
have to do is to manage our own hammer
or ax or trowel until the night comes in
which no man ran work, and when the
work is all completed we will have a right
to say rejoicingly: "Thank Cod, I was
privileged to help in the rearing of that
temple! I had a part in the work of the
world's redemption."
Again, we have need of patience under
wrong indicted, and who escapes it in
some form? It comes lo all people in pro
fessional life in the shape of being misun
derstood. Hccause of this, how many peo
ple fly to ncwspajiers for an explanation.
Yon see their card signed by their own
name declaring they did not say this or
did not do that. They ttustcr nnd worry,
not realizing that every man conies to be
taken for what he is worth, nnd you can
not, by any newspaper puff, be taken for
more than you are worth nor by any news
paper depreciation be put down. There
is a spirit of fairness abroad in the world,
nnd if you are a public man you arc classi
fied among the friends or foes of society.
If you are a friend of society, you will find
plenty of adherents, nnd if you are the
foe of society you cannot escape reprehen
sion, l'aul, you were right when you said,
not more to the Hebrews than to us, "Ye
have need of patience." I adopted a rulo
years ago which has been of great service
to me, and it may be of some service to
you: Cheerfully consent to be misunder
stood. Cod knows whether we are right
or wrong, whether we arc trying to serve
Him or damage His cause. When yon can
cheerfully consent to be misunderstood,
many of the annoyances and vexation of
life will cpiit your heart, and you will come
into calmer sens than you have ever sailed
on. The most misunderstood beimt that
ever trod the earth was tlicgloriousl'hrist.
The world misunderstood His cradle anil
concluded that one so poorly horn could
never be of much importance. They
charged Him with inebriety and called
Him a winebibher. The saniicdrin misun
derstood Him. and when it wns put to
the vole whither He was guilty or not of
treason He got but one voie, while nil the
others voted "Aye, nye." They misun
derstood Hi cross, and concluded that if
He hud divine power He wo'ild effect His
own rescue. They miiunderstood Ills
grave, nud declnred that I lis body had
been Kto'cn hy infamous resurrectionists.
He so fully consented to he misunder
stood that. Irirricd and slapped and sub
mersed with scorn, He answered not a
word. Yon ranimt come up to that, but
yot can imitate iu sonic small degree the
pa' ience of Christ.
There arc enough present woes in the
world without the perpetual commemora
tion of oust miseries. If you sing in your
home or your church, do not always choose
tunes in long meter. Far better to have
your p:itienve augmented by the considera
tion that the misfortunes of this life must
soon terminate.
This Inst summer T stood on Sparrow
hill, four miles from Moscow. It was the
place where Nanolcon stood nnd looked
upon the city which he wus about to cap
ture. His army had been iu long marches
and awful lights and fearful exhaustions,
and when they came to Sparrow hill the
shout went up from tens of thousands of
voices. "Moscow, Moscow!" I do not
wonder at the transport. A ridge of hills
sweeps round the city. A river semicir
cles it with brilliance. It is a spectacle
that you place in your memory as one of
three or fo-ir most beautiful scenes in all
the enrth. Napoleon's army marched on
it in four divisions, four overwhelming tor
rents of valor and pomp, down Sparrow
hill and thrmitrh the beautiful valley nnd
across the bridges and into the palaces,
which surrendered without one shot .f
resistance because the avalanche of troops
wns irresistible. There is the roo-n in
which Napoleon slept, and his pillow,
which must have been very uiiensv, for,
oh, how short his stay! Fires kindled in
atl pnTts of the city simultaneously drove
out thnt nrmy into the snowstorms under
which U5.000 men perished. How soon did
triumphal march turn into horrible demo
lition! ,
To-day while T sneak we come on a high
hill, a glorious hill of Christ inn anticipa
tion. These host of Cod have had a long
march and fearful buttles und d fiats have
again and again mingled with the victor
ies, but to-day w come in sight of the
great city, the cnpital of the universe, the
residence of the King and the home of
those who arc to reign with Him for ever
nnd ever. Jjnnls at the towers and hear
tlicm ring with eternal jubilee.
Look at the home of many mansions,
where mnny of our loved one are. He
hold the streets of luirniF.!iei gold and
hear the rumble of the chariots of those
who are more than conquerors. So far
from being driven back, all the twelve
gates are wide open for our entrance. We
are inarching on nnd marching on, and our
every step bring us nearer to the city.
At what hj.. we shall cuter we have no
power to foretell, but once eulisied amid
iiie blond washed host our entrance is cer
tain. It may be in the bright, noonday or
the dark midnight.- It may be when the
air is laden with springtime fragrance or
chilled with falling snows. Hut enter we
must nnd enter we will through the grace
offered us us the chief of sinners. Higher
hills than am- I have spoken of will guard
that city. More radiant waters than I
saw in 'lie liussinn valley will pour through
that great metropolis. No raging conlla
gration shall drive us forth, for the only
lireg kindled in that city will be the fires
of a splendor that shall ever hoist and
never die. llcachiiig that shining gate,
there will be a parting, but no tears at the
parting. There will be un eternal farewell,
but no sadness iu the utterance. Then
and there we will pnrt with one of the
lici t friends we ever had. No place for
her in heaven, for she needs no heaven.
While love and joy and other graces enter
heaven, she will stay out. r'atience, beau
tiful I'atience, long-suffering I'alience, will
nt that gate sav: "Good-bye. 1 helped you
in (he battle of iife, but now that you have
gained the triumph you need ino no more.
I bound up your wounds, but now they
aro all healed. I soothed your bereave
ments, hut you pass now into the reun

und there is nothing for r.ie to do iu a city
where there are no burdens to carry.
Good-bye. I go back into the wor I from
which you came up to resume iny tour

cry of the world's sorrow reaches my cars,
and X must descend. Up ami down that

4(1. 'They enme." Jesus anil His disci
ples were making their Inst journey to
Jerusalem. They have crossed the U ivpr
jjorilnn westward since our last lesson. 1
"Jericho." City of the moon, or place of
fragrance. This wns the largest city in t
the Jordan Valley. It was, about sixteen I
miles northeast of Jerusalem. "As He
went out." Luke says it was when they
were entering the town thnt tho healing
took place. It is difficult to account for
tins difference. "A great number of peo- !
pie. In addition to the crowds thnt fee. 1
quenMy followed Jesus were many people I
on their way to attend the I'.ts'sover nt
.icrusaicm. Jlliml ltartinicus." Matthew
says there were two. If there were two
there was one, and Mark mentions Haiti
mens by name, probably because he was
well known. Illindness is very common
in l'nlestine. The causes are the sudden
changes in temperature ami light, the in
tense brightness of the sun, and the line
dust in the nir ot those sandy countries.
47. "Thnt it was Jesii." He had evi
dently heard of the fame of Jesus, and
how He could hrnl the blind. "Hcgun to
cry out." It is the chance of a lifetime,
there is no time to lose; in a moment He
will have passed. Opportunities lost ure
always to be regretted, but can never be
recalled. "Son of David." With the
Jews this expression was applied to the
Messiah. "Have mercy on tne." The case
of this blind man illustrates well the con
dition of n sinner and his efforts in coming
to God. I. As to his condition, lie was
blind and poor, and he knew it. lie
needed no one to convince him of his
wretched and miserable state. One symp
tom of spiritual blindness is that those
who nro nlleetcd by it think they see. The
devil blinds the minds of men and causes
them to rest in carual security with no de
sire for deliverance; the awukened sinner
sees his lost condition. 2. A to his man
ner in approaching Christ. He pit ml for
mercy, lie knows he deserves nothing,
nnd that Christ is under no obligations to
heat him. Misery is the object of mercy;
he appeals to the compassion of Christ.
4S. "Many charged him. "Manv re
buked him." (K. V.) Whenever a soul be
gins to cry after Jesus for light and salva
tion the world and the devil join together
to drown its cries and force it to be silent.
Hut let nil sin h remember, Jesus is now
passing by. and if they arc not saved by
Him they must perish everlastingly. Tho
seeking soul will always be obliged to
press through opposing inllucnces when
the decision is made to go to Christ. The
opposition that conies from friends is al
! hard to meet. "Hold his peace."
Hemain quiet. "Ho cried the more a
great ileal.'' 1. lie was in earnest, ami
opposition only cau-ed it to increase. 2.
lie persevered; hindrances did not slop
him. 3. lie used his voice. It was not
necessary to urge him to pray; he called
with all his might, to Christ. He wa. de
termined to overcome the rebukes of his
friends nnd the confusion and noise of the
crowd, and attract the attention of Jesus.
4. He cries to the Saviour in real faith,
fi. His request is humble.
41). "Jesus stood still." The cry for
mercy will always cause the Saviour to
stop. He takes not another step; this iu
the first thing to be attended to. "To be
called." He could have healed his eyes
at a distance, but this is an important
case, nnd He decides to show His power
before this whole company, "lie of good
comfort." It appears that the very ones
who at first rebuked him because of his
earnestness now hasten to congratulate
him upon his success. They represent a
class that is always unxious to be on the
popular side.
iitl. "('listing away his garment." He
cast asidu his outer garment that might
binder him in coming to Christ, lie cares
not for garments now, it is sight he de
sires. This may be taken as a type of the
removal of the hindrances of whatever
kind that prevent a soul from coining to
Jesus. We should cast aside the garment
of (I) self-righteousness, (2) of pride nnd
worldliness, (3) of prejudice, (4 of effete
forms and ceremonies in religious work,
and (o) in some cases the garment of a
worlhhss profession of religion. If every
penitent was ready to throw off' his sinful
iiicuiiihruiicts, we should have fewer de
lays in conversion. "ISosc." "Sprang
up." (II. V.) He neled on the iiisumt.
Many sit Klill und want Jesus to come to
tliein. Hartinieus had no excuses to offer;
he was glad to obey.
iil. "What wilt thou." What is vour
request? Christ knew, but He mu,t know
it from him. The divine plan is to ask,
if we would receive. Christ savs, "What
wilt thou?" He is always willing, the
only difficulty is with us. "I. nd." "Huh
boni." It. V. This was the highest title
of reverence and respect he could give, the
gradations being liali, Ibibbi, Hal, ban,
Hablioni. "That I might receive my
sight." He had no (rouble to ask for what
he wanled. lie did not complain for lack
of words, had no need of n prayer-book,
and used no vague expressions. ' A hun
gry child knows how to ask for bread, a
blind man knows how lo ask for sieht
and an awakened sinner finds no difficulty
in calling aloud for salvation.
S3. "Go thy way." Go now and enrn
a living for yourself und beg no more.
"1'liy faith hath made then whole" n;-
faith was th" medium through which tho
blessings of Cod were brought to him. It '
Wns not his earnest ncss, or his prayers, I
but. his faith in Christ that was coin
mended; and yet earnest ncss and prayers
nre also important. "And immediately."
It was not necessary to wait a long timo I
for n gradual healing, but instantly he I
saw. Mifthew says that Jesus had 'com- '
passion, and touched (ho eves of the
muni man, roor. blind, ignorant and
wretched though we may be, yet, when
we come in deep contrition ami in faith,
(he Lord will give us new- hearts and new
characters immediately, and send us on
our way rejoicing. "Followed Jesus."

The ordinarv pvorv-dav lifa of most of o;ir women a,
ceaseless treadmill of work.
How much harder tho daily tttBks become whoa Bome
dernnprement of the female organs makes every movement
painful and keeps the nervous system all unstrung 1
One day she is wretched and utterly miserablo ; in a day
or two she is better and laughs at her feani. thinking thore
is nothing much the matter after all ; but before night the
deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch
it seems ns though all tho imps of Satan were clutching
her vitals ; she goes to pieces nnd is flat on her back.
No woman ought to arrive at this terrible stato of
misery, because these symptoms are a sure forerunner of
womb troubles. She must remember that Lyriiii 13. l'lnk
li;irus Vegetable Compound is almost an infallible euro
for all female ills, such as irregularity of periods, which cause
weak stomach, sick headache, etc., displacements and in
flammation of the womb, or any of the multitudes of ill
nesses which besot tho female orgauism.
Mrs, Gooden wrote to Mrs. Finkham whan aha
was in groat trouble. Her latter tails tho result,
"Dear Mrs. Dinr-hami-I am very grateful to you for your kindness
and the interest you have taken in me. ond truly believe that your medicines
aim iiuvire are worm more in a woman thun all the
doctors in the world. My troubles began with inflam
mation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then
inflammation, congest ion and iVAmg of tlie womb,
nnd inflammation of the ovaries. I underwent local
treatment evcrvttuv for some time; then. after marly
two months, the doctor pave me permission to po
back to work. I went back, but in Icsb than a week
was compelled to fcive up and go to bed. On break
ing down the second time. I decided to let dot tors
and medicines alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone 'I felt thn effects of it.
Three bottles of Lycliia E.l'iiiULam's Vt-getaM
Compound and a pscknge of Sanative Wash did
ma more good than all the doctors' treatments and
medicine. I have sained twelve rintiiiils Hnrino ti n
