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!"

PLANNING A DEPARTURE.
Am Author Who Would Get Out of tha
Beaten Track and Give
the Real Thin-.
"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."
