Heroes and Heroines Everyday Ex periences. Dr. Talmage, who is now preaching to large audiences in the great cities oi' England and Scotland, sends this discourse, in which he shows that manj who in this world pass as of little importance will in the day of final readjustment be crowned with high honor: ? text, II Timothy ii, 3, "Thou therefore * endure hardness." r Historians are not slow to acknowledge the merits of great military chieftains. We have the full length portraits of the Cromwells, the Washingtons, the Napoleons and the Wellingtons of the world. History is not written in black ink, but red ink of human blood. The gods of human ambition do not drink from bowls made out of silver or gold or precious stones, but out of the bleached skulls of the fallen. Bat I am now to unroll before you a .jl lioTnoo xrrvrM Tism never CTV&ViA VA UV&WU VMMV VMV ? v. ? acknowledged?those who faced no guns, blew no bugle blast, conquered no cities, ohained no captives to their chariot wheels and yet in the great day of eternity will stand higher than some of those whose names startled the nations, and serph and rapt spirit and archangel will tell their deeds to a listening universe. I mean the heroes of common, everyday life. In this roll, in the first place, I find all the heroes of the sickroom. When satan had failed to overcome Job, he said to God, "Put forth thy hand and toush his bones and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face." Satan had found out that which we have all found out, that sickness is the greatest test of one's character. A man who can stand that can stand anything. To be shut in a room as fast as though it were a baa tile; to be so nervous you can no i enaure me tap o i a cuuu a iuui, to have luscious fruit, which tempts the appetite of the robust and healthy, excite our loathing and disgust when it first appears on the platter; to have the rapier of pain strike through the side or across the temples like a razor or to put the foot into a vise or throw the whole body into a blaze of fever, yet there have been men and women, but more women than men, who have cheerfully endured this hardness. Through years of exhausting rheumatisms and excruciating neuralgias they V??-rrn i^fafrAOfl that rasped the nerves and tore the muscles and paled the checks and stooped the shoulders. By the dim light of the sickroom taper they saw on their wall the picture of that land where the inhabitants are never sick. Through the dead silence of the night they heard the chorus of the angels. The cancer ate away her life from II BB mtj|P whe:e women made army jackets for a sixpence. They toiled on until they died. They had no funeral eulogium, but, in the name of my . God, this day, I enroll their names among those of whom the world was not worthy. He roes of the needle! Heroes of the sewing machine! Heroes of the attic! Heroes of the cellar! Heroes and heroines! Bless God for them! Society today is strewn with the wrecks of men who, under the northeast storm of domestic infelicity, have been driven on the rocks. There are tens of thousands of drunkards today, made such by their wives. That is not poetry; that is prose. But the wrong is generally in the opposite direction. You would not have to go far to find a wife whose life is a perpetual martyrdom?something heavier than a stroke of the fist, unkind words; staggering home at midnight and constant mal treatment, which have left her only a wreck of what she was on that day when in the midst of a brilliant assemblage the vows were taken, and full organ played the wedding march, and the carnage rolled away with the benediction of the people. What was the burning of Latimer and Ridley at the stake compared with this? Those men soon became unconscious in the lire. but there is a 30 years' martyrdom, a 50 years' putting to death, yet uncomplaining. 2so bitter words when the rollicking companions a: 2 o'clock in the morning pitch the husband dead drunk into the front entry.
