Wellington, 0 , A WORK FOR WOMEN. Dr. Talmage's Stirring Sermon on "The Queens of Home." Hcrolnra of Ike Flreilde and the Bm. tleflrld Mlnlaterlutf Aoscln Wliat Her Chief Desire Should Be. Copyright, Louli Klopach, 1899 Washington, Sept. 10. In tli i h discourse the opportunities of usefulness for women are set forth by Dr. Tulmuge, und ninny sympathies are stirred and memories readied. The text is Solomon's Song C, 8: "There are threescore queens." . So Solomon, by one stroke, set forth the iniperiul character of a true Chris tian woman. She is not a slave, not a hireling, not a subordinate, but a queen. In a former sermon I showed you thut crown and courtly attendants and im perial wurdrobe were not necessary to muke a queen, but that graces of the heart and life will give coronation to uny woman. 1 showed you at once at some length that woman's position wus higher in the world than man's, and thut although she hud often been de nied the right of sull'ruge, she always did vote, and always would vote by her influence, and that her chief desire ought to be that she should have grace rightly to rule in the dominion which she bus already won. I begun an enu meration of some of her rights, and now I resume the subject. In the first place woman has the spe cial ond the superlative right of bless ing and comforting the sick. What land, what street, what house, has not felt tiie smitings of disease? Tens of thousands of sickbeds! What shall we do with them? Shall man, with his rough hand and clumsy foot, go stum bling around the sickroom, trying to soothe the distracted nerves and al leviate the pains of the distressed pa tient? The young man at college may scoff at the iden of being under mnter nul influences, but at the first blast of typhoid fever on his check he says: "Where is mother?" Walter Scott wrote partly in satire and partly in compliment: Oh, woman, In our hours of case, Uncertain, coy and hard to please. When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou! I think the most pathetic passage in all the Hible is the description of the lad who went out to the harvest field of Shuneni and got sunstruck press ing his hands on his temples and crying out: "Oh. my head! My head!" And they said: "Carry him to his mother." Am1 then the record is: "He sat on her knees till noon and then died." it is an awful thing to be ill away from home in n strange hotel, onee in awhile men coming in to look at you, holding their hand over their mouth for fear Ihcy w ill cntch the contagion. How roughly Ihcy turn you in bed. How loudly Ihcy talk. How you long for the ministries of home. 1 know one such who went nway from one of the bright est homes for several weeks' business absence at the west. A telegram came nt midnight that he was on his death bed far nway from home. By express train the wife and daughters came westward, but they went too late. He feared not 1o die, but he was in an agony to live until his family got there, lie tried to bribe the doctor 1o make him live n little while longer. He said: "I nm willing to die, but not alone." But the pulses fluttered, the eyes closed, and the heart stopped. The express trains met. in the midnight, wife nnd daughters going westward, lifeless re mains of husband and father coming astward. Oh, it was n sad, pitiful, overwhelming spectacle! When we are sick, we want to be sick at home. When the time conies to die, we want to die nt home. The room may be very humble, nnd the faces that look into ours may be very plain, but who cares for that? Loving hands to bathe the temples. Loving voices to speak good cheer. Loving lips to read the comfort ing promises of Jesus. in our civil war men cast the cannon, men fashioned musketry, men cried to the hosts: "Forward, march!" men hurled their buttalions on the sharp edges of the enemy, crying: "Charge, charge!" l!ut woman scraped the lint, woman administered the cordials, wom an watched the dying couch, woniun wrote the last message to the home cir cle, woman wept at the solitary burial, attended by herself and four men with a spade. We greeted the generals home with brass bands and triumphal urches and wild huzzas;' but the story is too good to be written anywhere, save in the chronicles of Heaven, of Mrs. iirady, who came down among the sick in the swamps of the Chickahominy; of Annie Itoss in the cooper shop hospital; of Margaret Breckinridge, who came to men who had been for weeks with their wounds undressed, some of them frozen to the ground, and when she turned them over those that had an arm left waved it and filled the air with their "hurrah!" of Mrs. Hodge, who came from Chicago with blankets and with pillows until the men shouted: "Three cheers for the Christian commission! God bless the women at home;" then sitting down to tuke the Inst message: "Tell my wife not to fret about me, but to meet me in Heaven; tell her to train up the boys whom we have loved so well; tell her we shall meet again in the good laud; tell her to bear my loss like the Christian wife of a Christian sol dier;" and of Mrs. Sheltou, into whose face the convalescent soldier looked and said: "Your grapes and cologne cured me." And so it was also through all of our war with Spain women heroic on the field, braving deaih and wounds to reach the fallen, watching by their fever coti In the West Indian hospitals or on the troopships or in our smitten home camps. Men did their work with shot and shell and carbine and howitzer; women did their work with socks and Uppcri tod bandages and warm drink and Scripture tests and gentle stroking of the hot temples and stories of that land where they never have any pain. Men knelt down over the wounded and Baid: "On which side did you fight?" Women knelt down over the wounded and said: "Where are you hurt? What nice thing can I make for you to cat? What makes you cry?" To-night while we men are sound asleep in our beds there will be a light in yonder loft; there will be groaning down that dark alley; thera will be erics of distress in that cellar. Men will sleep, and women will watch. Again, woman has a special right to take care of the poor. There are hun dreds and thousands of thera all over the land. There is a kind of work that men cannot do for the poor. Here conies a group of little barefoot children to the door of the Dorcas society. They need to be clothed nnd provided for. Which of these directors of banks would know how many yards it would take to make that little girl a dress? Which of these masculine hands could fit a hat to that little girl's head? Which of the wise men would know how to tie on that new pair of shoes? Man sometimes gives his charity in a rough way, and it falls like the fruit of a tree in the east, which fruit comes down so heavily that it breaks the skull of the man who is try ing to gather it. But woman glides so softly into the house of destitution and finds out all the sorrows of the place and puts so quietly the donation on the table that ail the family come out on the front steps as she departs, expect ing that from under her shawl she will thrust out. two wings nnd go right up toward Heaven, from whence she seems to have come down. O Christian young womun, if you would make yourself happy and win the blessing of Christ, go out among the destitute. A loaf of bread or n bundle of socks may make n homely load to carry, but the angels of Cod will come out to watch and the Lord Almighty will give His messenger hosts a charge, say ing: "Look out for that woman; can opy her with your wings and shelter her from all harm," nnd while you are seat ed in the house of destitution and suf fering the little ones around the room will whisper:' "Who is she? Ain't she beautiful!" And if you w ill listen right sharply you will hear dripping down through the leaky roof and rolling over the rotten stairs the angel chant that shook Bethlehem: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men." Can you tell me why a Christian wom an going down among the haunts of iniquity on a Christian errand never meets with any indignity? I stood in the chapel of Helen Chalmers, the daughter of the celebrated Dr. Chal mers, in the most abandoned part of the city of Kdinhurgh, nnd I said to her as I looked around upon the fearful sur foundings of that place: "Do you come here nights to hold a service?' "Oh, yes," she said. "Can it be possible that you never meet with nn insult while performing this Christian er rand?" ".Never," she said, "never." That young woman who has her father by her side walking down the street, armed police at each corner, is not so well defended as Unit Christian woman who goes forth on Gospel work into the haunts of iniquity carrying the Bibles and bread. God, with the red right arm of His wrath omnipotent, would tear to pieces anyone who should offer indig nity to her. He would smite him with lightnings and drown him with floods and swallow him with earthquakes and damn him with eternal indignations. Some one said: "1 dislike very much to sec that Christian woman teaching those bud boys in the mission school, i am afraid to have her instruct them." "So." said another man, "1 nm afraid too." Said the first: "I am afraid they will use vile language before they leave the place." "Ah," said the other man, "1 am not afraid of that. What I am afraiil of is, that if any of those boys should use a bad word in her presence the other boys would tear him to pieces and kill him on the spot." That woman is the best sheltered who is sheltered by the Lord God Almighty, and you need never fear going anywhere where God tells you to go. It seems as if the Lord hud ordained woman for an especial work in the so licitation of charities. Backed up by barrels in which there is no flour, and by stoves in which there is no tire, and by wardrobes in which there are no clothes, u woman is irresistible. Pass ing on her errand, God sajB to her: "You go into that bank or store or shop and get the money." She goes in and gets it. The man is hard listed, but she gets it. She could not help but get it. No need of your turning your back and pretending you don't hear; you do hear. There is no need of your sayingyou are begged to death. There is no need of your wasting your time, and you might as well submit first as last. You hud better right away take down your check book, mark the number of the check, till up the blank, sign your name and hand it to her. There is no need of wnsting time. Those, poor children on the bnck street have been hungry long enough. That sick man must have some fnriuu. That consumptive must have something to case his cough. I meet this delegate of u relief society coming out of the store of such a hard-fisted man, and I say: "Did you get the money?" "Of course," she says, "I got the money; that's what I went In for. The Lord told me to go in and get it, and He never sends me on a fool's er rand." Again, I remark it is a woman's right to bring to us the kingdom of Heaven, It is easier for a woman to be a Chris tian Uian for a man. Why? You say she Is weaker. No. Iter heart is more responsive to the pleadings of Divine love. She Is In vast majority. The fact thut she can more easily become a Chris tian I prove by the statement that three-fourths of the members of churches in all Christendom are wom en. So God appoints them to be the ! chief agencies for bringing this world j back to God. I may stand here and say I the soul is Immortal; there is a man who will deny it. I may stand here and say we are lost and undone without. Christ; there 1b a man who will contra dict it. I mny stand here and say there will be a Judgment day after awhile; yonder is some one who will dispute it. But a Christian woman in a Christian household, living in the faith and con sistency of Christ's Gospel nobody can refute that. The greatest sermons are not preached on celebrated platforms. They are preached with an audience of two or three, and ln private home life. A consistent, consecrated Christian service is an unanswerable demonstra tion of God's truth. I speak to women who have the eter nal salvation of their husbands in their right hand. On the marriage day you took an oath before men and an gels that you would be faithful and kind until denth did you part, and I be lieve you are going to keep that oath, but after that parting at the grave will it be eternal separation? Is there any uuch thing as an immortal marriage, making the flowers that grow on the top of the scpulcher brighter than the garlands which at the marriage ban quet flooded the air with aroma? Yes, I stand here an embassador of the most high God to proclaim the banns of an immortal union for all those who join hands in the grace of Christ. 0 woman, is your husband, your father, your son, nway froiri God? The Lord demands theirrcdcr.iption atyour hands. There are prayers for you to offer, there are exhortations for you to give, there are examples for you io set, and I say now, ns I'aul said to the Corinthian woman: "What knowest thou but thou shalt save thy husband ?" A mnn was dy ing, nnd he said to his wife: "Rebecca, you wouldn't let me have family pray ers; you laughed about nil that, and you got me away into worldliness, and now I'm going to die, and my fate is sealed, and you are the cause of my ruin!" O woman, what knowert thou but thou canst destroy thy husband? Are there not some of you who have kindly influences ut home? Are there not some who have wandered faraway from God who can remember the Chris tian influences in their early home? Do not despise those influences, my brother. If you die without Christ, what will you do with your mother's prayers, with your wife's importuni ties, with your sister's entreaties? What will yon do with the letters they used to write to you, with the memory of those days when they attended you so kindly in times of sickness? Oh, if there be just one strand holding you from floating off upon that dark sea, 1 would just like to take hold of that strand now und pull you to the beach! For the sake of your wife's God, for t lie sake of your mother's God, for the sake of your daughter's God, for the sake ot your sister's God, come this day and be saved. Lastly. I wish to say that one of the speeilic rights of woman is, through the grace of Christ, finally to reach Heaven. Oh, what a multitude of women in Heaven! Mary, Christ's mother, in Heaven; Eliznbeth Fry in Heaven; Charlotte Elizabeth in Heaven; the mother of Augustine in Heaven: the countess of Huntington, who sold her splendid jewels to build chapels in Heaven, while n great muny others, who have never been heard of on earth or known but little, have gone into the rest and peace of Heaven. What a rest! What a change it was from the small room, with no fire and one window (the glass broken out) and the aching side and wornout eyes, to the "house of many mansions!" No more stitching until 12 o'clock at night, no more thrusting of the thumb by the employer through the work, to show it was not done quite right. Plenty of bread at last! Heaven for aching heads, Heaven for broken hearts, Heaven for anguish bitten frames! No more sitting until midnight for the coming of staggering steps! No more rough blowsncross the temples! No more sharp, keen, bitter curses! Some of you w ill huve no rest in this world. It will be toil nnd struggle and suffering nil the way up. You will have to stand at your door fightiatig back the wolf with your own hand, red with car nage. But God has a crown for you. 1 want you to realize this morning that He is now making it, and whenever you weep a tear He sets another gem in that crow n. Whenever you have a pung of body or soul He puts another gem in that crown, until after awhile in all the tiara there will be no room for an other splendor, and God will say to His angel: "The crown is done. Let her up, that she may wear it." And as the Lord of righteousness puts the crown upon your brow angel will cry to angel: "Who is she?" And Christ will say : "1 will tell you who she is. She is the one that came up out of great tribulation nnd had her robe washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." And then God will spread a banquet, nnd He will invite all the principalities of Heaven to sit nt the feast, and the tnbles will blush with the best clusters from the vineynrds of God and crimson with the 13 manner of fruits from the tree of life, and waters from the foun tains of the rock will flash from the golden tankards, and the old harpers of Heaven will sit there, making music with their harps, and Christ will point you out amid the celebrities of Heaven, saying: "She suffered with me on earth; now we are going to be glorified to gether." And the banqueters, no longet able to hold their peace, will break forth with congratulation: "Hail, hail!" And there will be handwritings nn the wall not such as struck the Babylonian noblemen with horror, but fire-tipped fingers, writing in blazing capitals ol light and love: "God hath wiped away all tears from all faces!"

"What we want," said the publisher, "is I500d, realistic story of army life. Some thing that will show just how eveuta move among the soldiers." "I see," said the author; "I was in the srmy myself. I know exactly how things re conducted." "Something that will thrill the reader to the marrow and make his hair stand on end. "I thought you said you wanted some thing out of the ordinary." "That's what I am after." "Well, in that case, we won't have any thrill in it. Of course, it's there, but it comes so suddenly and is so soos over that you hardly have time to know what thrilled you. If you want to get right down to hard-pan realism and sound the keynote of the soldier's general experience, you want to leave out most of this description of a hero rushing headlong through strug gling men and over fallen horses, waving a gun with one hand aird the star spangled banner with the other, while singing 'My Country, 'Tig of Thee,' at the top ot his voice. We'll get out of the beaten track of fiction and relate how many hours a day he spend currying his horse and polishing his weapons, and how many miles a day he traveled, and how often he wanted to talk back and didn't dare, and how he would have been willing to give four dollars a ,uare inch for a beefsteak, and all the rest of the little details which play so my Dortant a nnrt and which writers of fiction have hitherto so strangely neglected." i asuuigion oiar.
