Tbe little pains which dart through th

in severity until they become almost
unbearable.
Rheumatism as a rule is much severer
in winter, though many are so afflicted
ith it that they are crippled all the
year round. Those who felt its first
touch last year, may be sure that with
tbe first season of cold or disagreeable
weather, the mild pain of last year will
return as a severe one, and become more
snd more intense until the disease has
them completely in its grasp.
Being a disease of the blood of the
most obstinate type. Rheumatism can
be cured only by e real blood remedy.
No liniments or ointments can possibly
reach the disease. Swift's Specific
(S. S. S.) is the only cure for Rheuma
tism, because it is theonly blood remedy
that goes down to the very bottom of all
obstinate blood troubles, snd cures cases
tvbich other remedies cannot reach.
Capt. 0. E. Hughes, the popular rail
road man of Columbia, S. C, says:
"At first I paid very little attention to
the little pains, but they became so
much sharper and more frequent that
before long I was almost disabled. The
disease attacked my muscles, which
would swell to many times their natural
size, and give me the most intense pain.
"I was ready to doubt that Rheuma
tism could be cured, when I was advised
to try S. S. S. This remedy seemed to
get right at the cause of the disease, and
soon cured me completely. I believe
that S. S. S. is the only cure for Rheu
matism, for I have had no return of the
disease for eight years."
Tbe mercurial and potash remedies,
which the doctors always prescribe for
Rheumatism, only aggravate the trouble,
and cause a stiffness in the joints and
aching of the bones which atid so much to
the distreisof the disease, besides serious
ly affecting the digestive organs. S.S.S.
(Swift's Specific) is the only cure for
Rheumatism because it is absolutely free
from potash, mercury or other minerals.
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed

"The righteous ie:
taken away from
the evil to come."
We all spend much time In prmpgyrlc
of longevity. We consider It a great
thing to live to be an octogenarian. It
any one dies in youth, we say, "What
a pity!" Dr. Muhlenbergh. in old age,
said that the hymn written in early
lite by his own band no more express
ed his sentiment when it eaid:
I would not live alway.
If one be pleasantly circumstanced,
he never wants to go. William Cullen
Bryant, the great toot, at 62 years o(
age, standing in my house in a festal
group, reading Thanatopsts" without
spectacles, was just as anxious to live
as when at 18 years of age he wrote
that Immortal threnody. Cato feared
at SO years ot age that he would not
live to learn Greek. Monaldesco, at 115
years, writing the history of his time,
feared a collapse. Theoprastus, writing
a book at 90 years of age, was anxious
to live to complete it. Thurlow Weed,
at about 9G years of age, found life as
great a desirability as when he snuffed
out his first politician. Albert Iiarncs,
so well prepared for the next world at
70, said lie would rather stay here. So
It Is all the way down. I suppose that
the last time that Mntbusaleh was out
of doors in a storm he wad afraid ot
getting ills feet wet lest it shorten his
days.
Indeed I sometime ago preached a
6enuon cn the. blessings of longevity,
but 1 now propose to preach to you
about the blessings of au abbreviated
earthly existence. If I were an agnos
tic, I would sav a man is blessed In
proportion to '.he i-umbvr of years he
cau stay on terra firm.i, because after
that he falls off the docks, and if ho Is
ever picked out of the depths it is only
to be set up in some morgue of the uni
verse to see if anybody will claim him.
If I thought God made man only to
last 40 or 60 or 100 years and then ho
was to go into annihilation, I would
say his chief business ought to be to
keep alive and even in good weather
to be very cautious and carry an um
brella and take overshoes and life
preservers and bronze armor and wea
pons of defense lest he fall off into
nothingness and obliteration.
But, my friends, you are not agnos
tics. You believe in immortality and
the eternal residence of the righteous
in heaven, and therefore I first remark
that an abbreviated earthly existence
Is to bo desired and is a blessing be
cause it makes ones life work very
compact.
Some men go to business at 7 o'clock
in the morning and return at 7 in the
evening. Others go at 8 and return at
12. Others go at 10 and return at 4.
I have friends who are ten hours a day
in business, others who are five hours,
others who are one hour. They all
do their work well. They nil do
their entire work and then they return.
Which position do you think the most
desirable? You say, other things be
ing equal, the man who Is tho shortest
time detained in business and who can
return home the quickest is the most
blessed.
Now, my friends, why not carry that
good sense Into the subject of transfer
ence from this world? If a person die
in childhood, he gets through bis work
at 9 o'clock In the morning. If he die
at 4j years of ape, ho gets through his
work at 12 o'clock noon. If he die at
70 years of nge, ho gets through his
work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It
ho die at 90, he has to toil all the way
on up to 11 o'clock at night. Tho soon
er we get through our work the better.
The harvest all in barrack or barn the
farmer does not sit down In tho stub
blelleld; but, shouldering his scythe
and taking his pitcher from under the
tree, ho makes a straight line for the
old homestead. All we want to be
anxious about Is to get our work done
and well done, and the quicker tho bet
ter. Again, there is a blessing in an ah-
I brevlated earthly existence in the fact
that moral disaster might come upon
the man if ho tarried longer. Recently
a man who had been prominent In
churches and who had been admired
for his generosity and kindness
everywhere, for forgery was senl
to stnte prison for fifteen years
Twenty years ago there was no
more probability of that man's com
mitting a commercial dishonesty than
that you will commit commercial dis
honesty. Tho number of men who fall
into ruin between CO and 70 years oi
age is simply appalling. If they had
died 30 years before, it would have
been better for them and better foi
their families. The shorter the voyage
the less chance for a cyclone.
There is a wrong theory abroad that
if one's youth be right ono's old ag
will be right. You might as well say
there is nothing wanting for a siiip't
safety except to get It fully launched
on the Atlantic ocean) I have some
times asked those who were school
mates or college mates of some greal
defaulter: "What kind of a boy was
he? What kind of a young man was
ho?" And they have said: "Why, ht
was a splendid fellow. I had no Ides
he could ever go Into such an outrage.'
The fact Is the great temptation ot lift
sometimes comes far on in tuldrife oi
in old age.
The first time I crossed the Atlantic
ocean it was as smooth as a mill pond
and I thought the sea captains and thi
voyagers had slandered the old ocean
and T wrnto hnmA an ohhov for A mute-
HP
ulna oi "Tfca Smll ot the Sea," but I
never afterward could have written
that thing, for before we got home we
tot a terrible shaking up. The first
voyage of life may be very smooth. The
last may be a euroclydon. Many who
start life In great prosperity do not end
it in prosperity.
The great pressure of temptation
comes sometimes in this direction. At
about 45 years ot age a man's nervous
system changes, and some one tells
him he must take stimulants to keep
h.'u.celf up, and he takes stimulants to
Leep himself up until tbe stimulants
kr;p h'm down, or a man has been go
li.g about for 30 or 40 years in unsuc
cessful business, and here is an open-
ins where by one dishonorable action
he cau lift himself and lift his family
from all financial embarrassment. He
rttrmp's to leap the chasm, and he
f V1I3 into It.
Then it is in after life that the great
testation of success comes. If a man
iiu.l.e a fortune before 30 years ot
p.'f, he generally loses it before 40.
1"t:3 sclid and the permanent fortunes
for the most part do not come to their
c! : iax until in midlife or in old age.
7'.:? most of the bank presidents have
v.. i to hair. Many of those who have
1 '. . i largply successful have been flung
of u.rognnre or worldliness or dissipa
t:: :i In old age. They may not have
! . ihelr Integrity, but they have bv
t . .. eo worldly and so selfish under

we lie the more attach

' f.iai, some men have a natural trepida

:'.es, 00 awful wrenchings of the
heart It is hard enough for us to bear
their departure, but is it not easier for
us to bear their departure than for
them to stay and bear 50 departures'?
Shall we not by the grace ot God rouse
ourselves Into a generosity of bereave
ment which will practically say, "It is
hard enough for me to go through this
bereavement, but how glad I am that
ho will never havo to go through it."
' So I reason with mysolf, and so you
' will find It helpful to reason with your
i solves. David lost his son. Though
David was king, ho lay on tho earth
i mourning and Inconsolable for some
time. At this distance of time, which
no you really think was tho ono to bo
I congratulated, tho short lived child or
the long lived father? Had David died
j as early a.s that child died ho would, in
the first place, have escaped that par
ticular bereavement, then ho would
have escaped the worse bereavement oi
1 Absalom, his recreant son, and the pur-
milt of the Philistines, and tho fatigues
' of his military campaign, and tho jeal
, ousy of Saul, and tho perfidy of Ahlt
hophol, nnd tho curse of Shimel, and
tho destruction of his family at Ziklag,
i und, above all, he would havo escaped
tho two great calamities of his lifo,
tho grotit sins of uncleanness and mur
der. David lived to bo of vast use to
1 the church and the world, but bo far as
' his own happiness was concerned, does
! it not seem to you that it would have
' been better for him to have gone ear
ly?
Now, this, my friends, explains some
things that to you have been Inexplic
able. This shows you why when God
takes little children from a household
he Is very apt to take the brightest, the
most genial, the most sympathetic, the
most talented. Why? It Is because
that kind of nature suffers tho most
when it does suffer, and is most liable
to temptation.
Again, my friends, tbero is a blessing
in an abbreviated earthly existence in
the fact that It puts one sooner in the
center of things. All astronomers, lu
fldel as well ns Christian, agree in be
lieving that tho universe swings
around some great center. Anyone
who has studied tho earth and studied
the heavens knows that God's favorite
figure In geometry Is a circle. When
God put forth his hand to create the
universe, he did not strike that hand at
right angles, but lie waved it in a cir
cle, and kept on waving in a circle un
til systems and constellations and gal
axies and all worlds took that motion,
Our planet swinging around the sun,
other planets swinging around other
suns, but somewhere a great hub,
around which tho great wheel of the
universe turns. Now; the center is
heaven. That Is the capital of the uni
verse; that Is the great metropolis ol
immensity.
Does not our common sense teach ui
that in matters of study it is better foi
us to move out from the center toward
the circumference rather than to be on
the circumference, where " our world
now is?
What fools we all are to prefer th
circumference to the center! What I
dreadful thing tt would be tf we should
S
be suddenly ushered from this wintry
world into the May time orchards
heaven, and if our pauperism of sin
and sorrow should be suddenly broken
up by a presentation ot an emperor's
castle surrounded by parks, with
springing fountains and paths up and
down which the angels ot God walk
two and two. We are like persons
standing on the cold steps ot the Na
tional picture gallery in London, under
umbrella In the rain, afraid to go in
amid the Turners and the Titlans and
the Raphaels. I come to them and say,
"Why don't you go inside the gallery?"
"Oh," they say, "we don't know wheth-1
er we can get In." I say, "Don't you
see the door Is open?" "Yes," they Bay,
"but wa hiv hpen an lone on these
nut we have been so long on tnese
cold steps we are so attached to them
we don't like to leave." "But," I say, ;
"It Is so much brighter and more beau-
tiful in the gallery; you had better go .
i
in. "No, they say, "we Know ex
actly how it Is out here, but we don't
know exactly how it Is inside."
So we stick to this world as though
we preferred cold drizzle to warm
habitation, discord to cantata, sack
cloth to royal purple, as though we
preferred a piano with four or five of
the keys out of tune to an Instrument
fully attuned, as though earth and
heaven had exchanged apparel, and
earth had taken on bridal array and
heaven had gone Into deep mourning,
all its witters stagnant, all its harps
broken, all chalices cracked at the dry
wells, all the lawns sloping to tho riv
er plowed with graves, with dead an
gels under the furrow. Oh, I want to
break up my own Infatuation and I
want to break up your Infatuation with
this world!
If the spirit of this sermon is true,
wo ought not to go n round sigliln;; and
groaning when unoUicr year Is going,
but wo ought to go down on ono knee
by the milestone and see the letters
and thank God thnt we are !!6.r miles
nearer homo. We ought not to go
around with morbid feelings about our
health or about anticipated demise. We
ought to bo living not according to that
old maxim which 1 used to hear in ray
boyhood that you must livo as though
every day were tho last; you must live
ns though you were to live forever, for
you will. Do not be nervous If you
have to move out of a shanty into an
Alhambra.
One Christmas day I witnessed some
thing very thrilling. Wo had Just dis
tributed the family presents Christ
mas morning when I heard a great cry
of distress in the hallway. A child
from a neighbor's house came In to
say her father was dead. It was only
three doors off, and I think in two
minutes we were there. There lay the
old Christian sea captain, his face up
turned toward the window, as though
he had suddenly seen the headlands
and with on Illuminated countenance,
as though be were Just going into hnr
bor. The fact was he had already
got through the Narrows. In the ad
jolnlug room were tho Christmas pres
cuts waiting for his distribution. 1ong
ago, one night when he had narrowly
escaped with his ship from being run
down by u great ocean steamer, ho had
made his peace with God, and a kinder
neighbor or a belter man than Captain
Pendleton you would not find this sido
of heaven. Without a moment's warn
lng the pilot of tbe heavenly harbor
had met him just off tho lightabip.
Ho hail often talked to mo of the
goodness of God, ami especially of
time when he was about to enter New-
York linibor with his ship from Liver
pool, ami ho was suddenly impressed
that he ought to put back to sex I'n
der tho protest of the crew and under
their very threat ho put. back to sea
fearing at. the same time ho was los
Itur bis mind, for it did seem so un
reasonable that, when they could gel
into tho harbor that night they slioul
pqt back to sea. Hut they put back to
sea, and Captain Pentleton said to his
mate, "You call mo tit 10 o'clock to
night." At 12 o'clock at night the cap
tain was aroused nnd said: "What does
this mean? I thought I told you to
cull nio at 10 o'clock, ami hero it Is 12."
"Why," said the mate, "I did call you
at 10 o'clock, and you got. up, looked
around and told me to keep right on
tho same course for two hours nnd then
to call you at 12 o'clock." Said the
captain: "Is it possible? I havo no re
membrance of that."
At 12 o'clock the captain wont on
deck and through tho rift of a cloud
the moonlight fell upon the sea and
showed him a shipwreck with 100
struggling passengers. Ho helped them
off. Had ho been any earlier or any
later at that point of tho sea ho would
have been of no service to those
drowning people. On board tbe cap
tain's vessel they began to band to
gether as to what they should pay for
the resctto and what they should pay
for the provisions. "Ah," says tboi
captain, "my lads, you can't pay mo
anything. All I havo on board Is

Paul and his companions us far ns Appli
forum and the threo taverns, causing
gratitude nnd Inspiring courage. It is
heavenly to meet on earth thoso w bo aro
our true blood relations. I do not mean so
much our kindred as thoso who nro one
with us by the blood of Christ. 1 hesn are
often nearer to us than hrol In r or sister.
The bond Is wunderfiil. Hh si do the tin
that binds our hearts in Christian love!
Paul may havo nut some of tlieso brethren

His daughtir. tin- eldest child by hih

took kindly either to the religions or thi
customs of the land, nor to the jilr
her father loved so much. It Is uiri
that it was dm- chiolly to her inllii'MK-.!
that her fathrr's marriage in th- Ja
panese nation was delayed so long;.
Her notions of conventionalities wore
shocked by the easy manner in which
the Japanese assumed the obligation
of marriage, tin- contracting parties
simply touching their cups of te.i und
drinking together.
There are few mm who have given

when he marries the woman from :.h
