New York. Aug. IS.—Rev. Dr. Talrr.age
could not have selected a more appropri
ate subject than the one of to-day, consid
ering the bereavement that has come upon
him and his household. He had already
prepared his sermon for to-day, selecting
as a topic: “Comfort." and taking as his
text. "And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.”—Kev. 7:17.
Riding across a western prairie, wild
flowers up to the hub of the carriage wheel,
and while a long distance from any shel
ter, there came a sudden shower, and while
the rain was falling in torrents, the sun
was shining as brightly as I ever saw It
ahine. and I thought, What a beautiful
•pectacle this is! So the tears of the Bi
ble are not midnight storm, but rain on
pansied prairies in God's sweet and golden
sunlight. You remember that battle which
David labeled as containing tears, anti
Mary's tears, and Paul's tears, and
Christ's tears, anel the harvest of Joy that
Uto spring from the sowing of tears. God
Ittlxes them. God rounds them. God shows
them where to fall. God exhales them. A
census is taken of them, and there is a
record as to the moment when they are
born, and as to the place of their grave.
'Tears of bad men are not kept. Alex
ander, in his sorrow, had the hair clipped
from his horses and mules, and made a
great ado about his grief; but in all the
vases of heaven there is not one of Alex
ander's tears. I speak of the tears of
God s children. Alas! me! they are fall
ing all the time. In summer, you some
times hear the growling thunder, and you
see there is a storm miles away; but
you know from the drift of the clouds that
it wtll not -come anywhere near you. So
though It may be all bright around about
you, there is a shower of trouble some
where all the time. Tears! Tears!
What is the use of them, anyhow? Why
pot substitute laughter? Why not make
this a world where all the people are well,
and eternal strangers to putn and aches?
What is the use of an eastern storm when
We might have a perpetual nor'wesler?
Why, when a family is put together, not
have them all stay, or If they must be
transplanted to make other homes, then
have them all live?—the family record tell
ing a story of marriages and births, but
of no deaths. Why not have the harvests
chase each other without fatiguing toll?
Why the hard pillow, the hard crust, the
hard struggle? It Is easy enough to explain
a smile, or a success, or a congratulation; j
but. come now, and bring all your diction- J
aries and all your philosophies and all
your religions, and help me expluin a tear.
A chemist will tell you that it Is made up
of salt and lime and other component
parts; but he misses the chief ingredients
—the acid of a soured life, the viperlne
sting of a bitter memory, the fragments
of a broken heart. I will tell you what a
tear is; It is agony In solution. Hear, then,
while I discourse on the uses of trouble.
First. It is the design of trouble to keep
this world from. being too attractive.
Some thing must be done to make us
willing to quit this existence. If It were
not for trouble this world would be a good
enough heaven for me. You and 1 would
be willing to take a lease of this life for
a hundred million years If there were no
trouble. The earth cushioned and up
holstered and pillared and chandt-liered
with such expense, no story of other
worlds could enchant us.
We would say; “Liet well enough alone.
If you want to die and have your body
disintegrated in the dust, and your soul
go out on a celestial adventure, then you
can go, but this world is good enough for
me!" You might as well go to a man
who has Just entered the Louvre at Paris
and tell him to hasten off to the picture
galleries of Venice and Florence. “Why,”
he would say, "what is the use of my
going there? There are Rembrandts and
Rubens and Raphaels here that I haven't
looked at yet." No man wants to go out
of this world, or out of any house, until
he has a better house. To cure this
wish to stay here, God must somehow
create a disgust for our surroundings.
How shall he do it? He cannot afford to
deface his horizon, or to tear off a fiery
panel from the sunset, or to subtract an
anther from the water-lily, or to banish
the pungent aroma from the mignonette,
or to drag the robes of the morning in
mire. You cannot expect a Christopher
Wren to mar his own St. Paul's cathedral,
or a Michael Angelo to dash out his own
“Last Judgment,” or a Handel to discord
his "Israel in Egypt," and you cannot ex
pect God to spoil the architecture und
music of his own world. How. then, are
we to be made willing to leave? Here is
where trouble cornes in.
After a man has had a good deal of
trouble, he says: "Well, I am ready to
go. If there is a house somewhere whose
roof doesn’t leak. I would like to live
there. If there is an atmosphere some
where that does not distress the lungs, I
would like to breathe it. If
there Is a society somewhere where
there is no tittle-tattle, I would like to
live there. If there is a home circle some
where where I can find my lost friends,
I would like to go there." He used to read
the first part of the Bible chieily, now he
reads the last part of the Bible chiefly.
Why has he changed Genesis for Revela
tion? Ah! he used to be anxious chiefly
to know how this world was made, and
all about its geological construction. Now
he is chiefly anxious to know how the next
world was made, and how It looks, and
who live there, and how they dress. He
reads Revelation ten times now where he
reads Genesis once. The old story, “In
the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth," does not thrill him half
as much as the other story, "I saw anew
heaven and anew earth.” The old man’s
hand trembles as he turns over this apo
calyptic leaf, and he 'has to lake out his
handkerchief to wipe hl3 spectacles. That
book of Revelation is a prospectus now of
the country Into which he is soon to Im
migrate; the country into which he has
lots already laid out, and avenues opened,
and mansions built.
Yet there are people here to whom this
world is brighter than heaven. Well, dear
souls, I do not blame you. It is natural.
But after awhile you will be ready to go.
It was not until Job had been worn out
with bereavements that he wanted to see
God. It was not until the prodigal
got tired of living among the hogs that
he wanted to go to his father's house. It
Is the ministry of trouble to make this
world worth less and heaven worth more.
Again. It is the use of trouble to make
us fee) our dependence upon God. Men
think that they can do anything until
God shows them they can do nothing at
all W>- lay our great plans, and we
like to execute them It looks big. God
comes and takes us down. As Prometheus
was assaulted by his enemy, when the
lance struck him It opened a great swell
ing that had threatened his death, and he
got well, gri it is the arrow of trouble
that lets out our great swellings of pride.
Ws never feel our dependence upon God
until we get trouble. I was riding with
ray little child along the road, and she
ai-ked if she might drive. I said. "Cer
tainly." I handed over the re.ns to her,
and I had to admire the glee with which
she drove. But after awhile we met a
team and we had to turn out. The road
was narrow, and it was sheer down on
both sides. She handed the reins over to
me and said: "I think you had better
lake charge of the horse." So we are all
children; and on this road of life we like
to drive. It gives one such an appearance
of superiority and power, it looks big.
But after a while we meet some obstacle
and we have to turn out. and the road is
narrow, and It Is sheer down on both
sides, and then we are willing that
God should take the rein* and drive. Ah!
my friends, we get upset so often because
we do'not hand over the reins soon enough.
After a man has had trouble, prayer is
with Jiim a taking hold of the arm of God
and crying out for help. I have heard
earnest prayers on two or three occasions
that I reno mlwr. Once, on the Cincin
nati express train, going forty miles the
hour, the train jumped the track, and we
wore near a chasm eighty feet deep; and
the men who, a few minutes before, had j
been swearing ami blaspheming God, be- !
gan to pull and jerk at the bell rope, and !
got up on the backs of the seats, and cried
out, "oh God, save us!” There was anoth- |
er time, about right hundred milts out at ;
sea. on a foundering steamer, after the I
last llfe-hoat had been spilt finer than
kindllngwood. They prayed then. Why is
It you so often hear people, tn reciting the
last experience of some friend, say, "He |
made the most beautiful prayer I ever j
heard?" What makes It beautiful? It Is
the earnestness of It. Oh! I tell you, a
man Is in earnest when his stripped and j
naked soul wades out In the soundless, j
shoreless, bottomless ocean of eternity.
It is trouble, my friends, that makes us 1
feel our dependence upon God. We do not
know our own weakness or God's strength
until the last plank breaks. It is contemp
tible in us when there Is nothing else to
take hold of. that we catch hold of God
only. Why, you do not know who the Lord
is! He Is not an autocrat seated far up in
a palace, from whicli he emerges once a
year, preceded by heralds swinging
swords to clear the way. No. But a Fa
ther willing, at our call, to stand hy us in
every crisis and predicament of life. 1 tell
you what some of you business men make
me think of. A young man goes oft from
homo to earn his fortune. He goes with his
mother's consent and benediction. She has
large wealth, but he wants to make his
own fortune. He goes far away, falls sick,
gets out of money. He sends for the hotel
keeper where he Is staying, asking for
lenience, and the answer he gets It. "If
you don't pay up Saturday night you'll be
removed to the hospital." i
The young man sends to a comrade In
the same building. No help. He writes
to a banker who was a friend of his de
ceased father. No relief. He writes to an
old schoolmate, hut gets no help. Satur
day night comes, and he Is moved to the
hospital.
Getting there, he is frenzied with grief;
and he borrows a sheet of paper and a
postage stamp and he sits down and he
writes home, saying: "Dear mother, 1
am sick unto death. Come.” It ts ten
minutes to 10 o'clock when she gets the
letter. At 10 o’clock the train starts. She
Is five minutes from the depot. She gets
there in time to have live minutes to spare.
She wonders why a train that can go
thirty miles an hour cannot go sixty miles
an hour. She rushes into the hospital. She
says: "My son, what does all this mean?
Why 'didn't you send for me? You sent
to everybody but me. You knew I could
and would help you. Is this the reward I
get for my kindness to you always?" She
bundles him up, takes him home and
gets him well very soon. Now, some of
you treat God Just as that young man
treated his mother. When you get Into
a financial perplexity, you call on the
hanker, you call on the broker, you rail on
your creditors, you call on your lawyer
for legal counsel; you call upon every
body, and when you cannot get any help,
then you go to God. You say: "O Lord,
I come to thee. Help me now out of my
perplexity.” And the Lord comes, though
it is the eleventh hour. Ho says: "Why
did you not send for me before? As one
whom his mother comforteth, so will I
comfort you.” It ts to throw us back upon
God that we have this ministry of tears.
Again, It is the use of trouble to capaci
tate us for the office of sympathy. The
priests, under the old dispensation, were
set apart by having water sprinkled up
on their hands, feet, and head; and by the
sprinkling of tears people are now set
apart to the office of sympathy. When we
are In prosperity we like to have a great
many young people around us, and we
laugh when they laugh, and we romp
when they romp, and we sing when they
sing; but when we have trouble we like
plenty of old folks around. Why? They
know how to talk. Take an aged mother,
seventy years of age.and she Is almost om
nipotent In comfort. Why? She has been
through it all. At 7 o’clock In the morn
ing she goes over to comfort a young
mother who has Just lost her babe. Grand
mother knows all about that trouble.
Fifty years ago she felt It. At twelve
o’clock of that day she goes
over to comfort a widowed
soul. She knows all about that.
She has been walking In that dark valley
twenty years. At 4 o’clock In the after
noon someone knocks at the door, want
ing bread. She knows all about that. Two
of three times in her life she came to her
last loaf. At 10 o'clock that night she
goes over to sit up with someone severe
ly sick. She knows all about It. She
knows all about fevers and pleurisies and
broken bones. She has been doctoring all
her life, spreading plasters and pouring
out bitter drops and shaking up hot pil
lows and contriving things to tempt a poor
appetite. Doctors Abernethy and Rush
and Hosack and Harvey were great doc
tors, but the greatest doctor the world
ever saw is an old Christian woman.
Dear me! Do we not remember her about
the room when we were sick in our boy
hood? Was there any one who could ever
so touch a sore without hurting it?
Where did Paul get the ink with which
to write his comforting epistle? Where did
David get the Ink to write his comforting
Psalms? Where did John get the Ink to
write his comforting Revelation? They got
it out of their own tears. When a man has
gone through the curriculum, and has
taken a course of dungeons and imprison
ments and shipwrecks, he is qualified for
the work of sympathy.
When I began to preach, my sermons on
the subject of trouble were all poetic and
in semi-blank verse; but God knocked the
blank verse out of me long ago, and I have
found out that I cannot comfort people
except as I myself have been troubled.
God make me the son Of consolation to
the people! I would rather be the means
of soothing one perturbed spirit to-day,
than to play a tune that would set all the
sons of mirth reeling In the dance.
1 am an herb doctor. I put Into the cal
dron the Hoot out of dry ground, without
form of comeliness. Then I put in the
Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Val
ley. Then I put into the caldron some of
the leaves from the Tree of Life, and the
Branch that was thrown Into the wilder
ness Marah. Then I pour In the teats of
Bethany and Golgotha; then I stir them
up. Then I kindle under the caldron a lire
made out of the wood of the cross, and
one drop of that potion will cure the
worst sickness that ever afflicted a hu
man soul. Mary and Martha shall re
ceive their Lazarus from Ihe tomb. The
damsel shall rise. And on the darkness
shall break the morning and God will
wl|s> nil tears from their eyes.
Jesus had enough trial to make him
sympathetic with all trial. The shortest
verse in Hie Bilde tells this story; "Jesus

will keep all heaven thtnkink. Oh! that
Great Weeper is just the one to silence
all earthly trouble, wipe out all stains of
eatthly grief. Gentle! Why. his step is
softer than the step of the dew. It will
not be a tyrant bidding you to hush up
your crying. It toll be a Father who will
take you on his left arm. his face beaming
into yours, while with the soft tips of the
lingers of the right hand he shall wipe
away all tears from your eyes.
Friends, if we could get any apprecia
tion of what God has in reserve for us.
it would make us so homesick we would
be unfit for our every-day work. Prof
Leonard, formerly of lowa University,
put in my hands a meteoric stone, a stone
thrown off from some other world to this.
How suggestive it was to me. And I have
to tell you the best representations we
have of heaven are only aerolites flung off
from that world which rolls on, bearing
the multitudes of the redeemed. We anal
yze these aerolites, and find them crys
tallizations of tears. No wonder, flung
off from heaven! 'God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes."
Have you any appreciation of the good
and glorious times your friends are hav
ing In heaven? How different it is when
they get news there of a Christian's death
from what it Is here! It is the difference
between embarkation and coming Into
port. Everything depends upon which
side of the river you stand when you hear
of a Christian’s death. If you stand on
this side of the river, you mourn that
they go. If you stand on the other side
of the river, you rejoice that they come.
Oh, the difference between a funeral on
earth and a Jubilee In heaven—between
requiem here and triumph there—parting
here and reunion there! Together! Have
you thought of it? They are together.
Not one of your departed friends in one
land and another In another land; but
together, in different rooms of the same
house—the house of many mansions. To
gether!
I never more appreciated that thought
than when we laid away in her last slum
ber my sister Sarah. Standing there In
the village cemetery. I looked around and
said: "There is father, there is mother,
there is grandfather, there is grandmoth
er, there are whole circles of kindred;”
and I thought to myself: "Together in
the grave—together in glory." I am so
impressed with the thought that I do not
think It Is any fanaticism when someone
is going from this world to the next if you
make them the bearer of dispatches to
your friends who are gone, saying; "Give
my love to my parents, give my love to
my children, give my love to my old com
rades who are in glory, and tell them I
am trying to fight the good fight of faith,
and I will join them after awhile.” I
believe the message will be delivered, and
I believe it will Increase the gladness of
those who are before the throne. To
gether are they, all their tears gone.
My friends, take this good-cheer home
with you. These tears of bereavement
that course your cheek, and of persecu
tion, and of trial, are not always to be
there. The motherly hand of God will wipe
them all away. What is the use, on the
way to such a consummation—what is
the use of fretting about anything? Oh,
what an exhiliration It ought to be in
Christian work. See you the pinnacles
against the sky? It is the city of our
God. and we are approaching It. Oh, let
us be busy In the days that remain for us!
I put this balsam on the wounds of your
heart. Rejoice at the thought of what
your departed friends have got rid of,
and that you have a prospect of so soon
making your own escape. Bear cheerfully
the ministry of tears, and exult at the
thought that soon It is to be ended.
There we shall march up the heavenly
street.
And ground our arms at Jesus' feet.
SIGHT-SEEING IN BOSTON.
A Savannah Lady Points Out Some of
the Plnces of Interest.
Boston, Aug. 6.—On arriving at Boston,
the weary traveler will be pleased with
the conveniences and comforts to be found
at the union depot. Electric cars plainly
marked to all parts of the city stand in
waiting here. In fact, the stranger would
do well to remember If at all uncertain
about his way, to make the depot a start
ing point for his destination.
The only admission a Bostonian will
make against Boston (and he Is right to
be proud of this charming city) is that the
business portions particularly Is poorly laid
out. So crooked are these streets, it
strikes a stranger that north, south, east
and west, all lie in the same direction.
While there are any number of straight
streets and pretty homes In Boston prop
er, the suburbs are the prettiest part of
all. So many palatial homes make these
beautiful. Their high elevations, broad
sloping lawns, beautified in every con
ceivable way form pictures, the effect of
which artists can never hope to reproduce.
When visiting the reservoir, I was told to
be sure to look to my right; this seemed
difficult when much of the scenery to my
left was equally as lovely. There are many
parks In Boston worth vlsting. Bunker
Hill monument should not be forgotten by
those out sight-seeing. Faneull hall, the
market and state house, all possess an in
terest for visitors.
How beautiful, for a small theater, is
Keith's new theater, on Washington
street. It is dainty, yet gorgeous, all
white and gold. The cost of this theater
is said to be $1,000,000. If I visit Boston
again I shall give much of my time to
the art museum and public library.
The art museum Is within sight of the
library and both could be visited on the
same day.
The art galleries of many of our other
cities have a greater variety of pictures,
yet the taste displayed In selection here is
very fine. Those interested in statuary
will be particularly pleased. Perhaps I
should not admit that the display of china
ware attracted me more than all else.
The great pains that has been taken at
the Boston Art Museum to interest the
public In the beautiful and quaint styles
of china from different parts of the world
deserves to be highly commended. The
new library, situated on Copley square,
cannot be overlooked. Neither can too
much be said about it. The building has
a monumental effect on the visitor, and
yet It is very pleasing to the eye. Enter
ing the library and passing through the
different halls, we stop to admire the
beautiful marble, in wails, staircase and
iioors. Our Southern Tennessee marble
is represented here, and many varieties
from Italy. Two marble lions, on ascend
ing the staircase, guard your way. No
ticing the staircase from the
landing. there are many panels
to be decorated with fine pictures. The
gallery leads Into a large reading room, or
what is known as Bates' hall, which is
across the entire building on the seconil
floor. This room is an arohitectual study.
It Is named for Joshua Hates, a native of
Boston, but who lived for years In Lon
don. England, He gave the sum of $50,000
for the purchase of books. In addition
to this sum of money, he gave 25,<X10 vol
umes, valued at $45,000. On the third floor
is a picture by John 8. Sargent, It is sur
prising how faithfully he depicts so many
events of the “Old Bfble" one picture.
The rauny figures in this picture might
prove eonfusing if It were not for Ihe
written guide that can he had at the li
brary.
This guide speaks of It as "The Inte
gration of religion, out of confusion of be
liefs with the firm foundation of the wor
ship of the One God. upon the base of the
Law and the Prophets." Moses stands out
in relief with a tablet of the Ten t'otn
mandmeitU. Ha ts surrounded by tits
prophets and representative figures, show
ing the suffering of his people.
The library cost about ft.■’O'.'**). There
are Jfst officers and assistants. Tne expense
of maintaining these, with the new bonks
annually. Is said to be many hundred
thousand dollars. Ruth Renn.
ATHLETICS AT ATHENS.
The Summer Schools Making Excel
lent Progress.
Athens, Ga., Aug. IS.—Athletics In the
university are on a boom. The great draw
back to athletics at the university In the
past has been a lack of funds with which
to defray the necessary expenses of the
athletic association, but that is now be
ing averred. The donation of $360 by the
board of trustees for erecting a number
of tennis court* on the campus helped
matters a great deal. Then the movement
started by Dr. C. H. Herty has met with
success. Over seventy alumni have be
come members of the athletic association.
The question of foot ball Is naturally
of greates Interest Just now,
as the foot ball season Is al
most at hand. The varsity boys are per
fectly confident of success during the com
ing season.
The schedule of foot ball games has
been arranged as follows;
Oct. 26. at Atlunta—University of Geor
gia vs. of North Carolina.
Nov. 2. at Atlanta—University of Geor
gia vs. Tulane University.
Nov. 9, at Columbus, Ga. —University of
Georgia vs. University of Alabama.
Nov. 16, at Athens—University of Geor
gia vs. Sewanee.
Nov. 23. at Nashville. Tenn.—University
of Georgia vs. Vanderbilt University.
Nov. 28 (Thanksgiving Day), at Atlanta-
Auburn vs. University of Georgia.
Thus R will be seen that the first game
will pit the ’Varsity boys against their
strongest competitors, and the last game
will throw them against their old rivals.
President Bradweil, of the State Normal
School, reports an attendance upon that
Institution of seventy-three teachers. Of
that number more than a majority will
take the two-years' course and receive
their diplomas. The remainder will take
ten and twenty weeks' courses, and then
teach school a while and come back to
the normal.
The summer school in mathematics un
der the direction of Prof. H. C. Moreno
of the university has been quite a suc
cess.
The Bell Telephone Company will build
a lino direct from Athens to Atlanta. The
material has been purchased and the work
is to be completed hy Oct. 1. That will
sava the trouble of connecting via Mad
ison, as at present.
There is an Interesting prohibition fight
on In Brookline district, Madison county.
Ail the balance of Madison county is dry,
and now the prohibitionists are trying to
shut up the bars in that district. The
election ts called for Sept. 9, and both
sides claim they will whip the fight.
Comer, Ga., is the storm center of the
fight. It being the largest part of the
district.
The Forty-fourth Georgia reunion at
Watkinsville was a success. Judge George
C. Thomas delivered a thrilling oration
on that occasion.
THE GOLU STANDARD WON.
A Colony to He Located In Clay
County. Florida.
Green Cove Springs, Fla., Aug. 18.—
Quite an interesting debate, given under
the auspices of the Clay County Teach
ers’ Institute, was held here to-day, be
tween Messrs. W. I>. Randall, editor of
the Green. Cove Spring, and H. H. Bur
rows. one of our leading citizens, on
the money question. Mr. Randall advo
cated the gold standard, and Mr. Bur
rows favored bimetallism. The Judges
consisted of P. C. Usher, Mrs. E. G.
Mansell and Hon. F. A. Fleming, and
they decided in favor of Mr. Randall by
a score of 62 to 61. The speeches were
both excellent, and It was difficult to de
cide which was better. A large crowd
was in attendance.
Sheriff Weeks Is building the gallows
upon which he will execute Spencer Bell
for the murder of Lincoln Simmons next
Wednesday. The board of pardons de
clines to interfere with the sentence of
the court, and consequently Bell will
hang on the day named.
There Is to be quite a large colony es
tablished in Clay county during the pres

subject was held here to-day.
Odd Fellows at Grlflln.
Griffin Ga., Aug. 18.—The Odd Fellows
