preached his second
~ ./ M; sermon since com
• ing to the National
possible
lhe aU(lience was
S even ,arger t!ian
fh. last Sunday. The
subject was “The
Disabled,” the text
selected being: 1. Sam. 30:24. “As his
Part is that goeth down to the battle,
so shall his part be that tarrieth by the
stuff.”
If you have never seen an army i
change quarters, you have no idea ot |
the amount of baggage —twenty loads, j
fifty loads, a hundred loads of baggage, j
David and liis army were about to start
on a double-quick march for the recov
ery of tlicir captured families from the
Amalekites. So they left by the brook
Besor their blankets, their knapsacks,
their baggage, and their carriages. Who |
shall be detailed to watch this stuff?
There are sick soldiers, and wounded
soldiers, and aged soldiers who are not
able to go on swift military expedi
tions, but who are able to do some
work, and so they are detailed to watch
the baggage. There is many a soldier
who is not strong enough to march j
thirty miles in a day and then plunge j
into a ten hours’ tight, who is able with >
drawn sword lifted against his shoulder
to pace up and down as a sentinel to
keep off an enemy who might put the
lorch to the baggage. There are two
hundred of those crippled and aged
and wounded soldiers detailed to watch
the baggage. Some of them, I suppose,
had bandages across the brow, and
some of them had their arm in a sling,
and some of them walked on crutches.
They were not cowards shirking duty.
They had fought in many a fierce bat
tle for their country and their God.
They are now part of the time in hos
pital, and part of the time on garrison
duty. They almost cry because they
cannot go with the other troops to the
front. While these sentinels watch the
baggage, the Lord watches the sentinels
There is quite a different scene being
enacted in the distance. The Amale
kites, having ravaged and ransacked
and robbed whole countries, are cele
brating their success iu a roaring ca
rousal. Some of them are dancing on
the lawn with wonderful gyration of
heel and toe, and some of them are ex
amining the spoils of victory—the fin
ger-rings and ear-rings, the necklaces,
the wristlets, the headbands, diamond
starred, and the coffers with coronets,
aid carneiians, and pearls, and sap
phires, and emeralds, and all the wealth
of plate, and jewels, and decanters, and
the silver and the gold banked up on
the earth in princely profusion, and the
embroideries, aud the robes, and the
turbans, and the cloaks of an imperial
wardrobe. The banquet has gone on
until the banqueters are maudlin and
t?eak and stupid and indecent aud
loathsomely drunk. What a time it is
now for David and his men to sweep
on them. So the English lost the bat
tle of Bannockburn, because the night
before they were in wassail and bibu
lous celebration, while the Scotch were
in prayer. So the Syrians were over
thrown in their carousal by the Israel
ites. So Cherdorlaomer and his army
were overthrown in their carousal by
Abraham and his men. So, in our Civil
War more than once the battle was lost
because one of the generals was drunk.
Now is the time for David and his men
to swoop upon these carousing Amale
kites. Some of the Amalekites are
hacked to pieces on the spot, some of
them are just able to go staggering and
hiccoughing off the field, some of them
crawl on camels and speed off in the
distance. David and his men gather to
gether the wardrobes, the jewels, and
put them upon the back of camels, and
into wagons, and they gather together
the sheep and cattle that had been
stolen, and start back toward the gar
rison. Yonder they come, yonder they
come. The limping men of the garri
son come out and greet them with wild
huzza. The Bible says David saluted
them. That is, he asked them how they
all were. ‘‘How is your broken arm?”
"How is your fractured jaw?” “Has
the stiffened limb been unlimbered?”
“Have you had another chill?” “Are
you getting better?” He saluted them.
But now came a very difficult thing,
the distribution of the spoils of vic
tory. Drive up those laden camels now.
Wlio shall have the spoils? Well, some
selfish soul suggests that these treas
ures ought all to belong to those who
had been out in active service. "We did
all the fighting while these men stayed
at home in the garrison, aud we ought
to have all *he treasures.” But David
looked into the worn faces of these vet
erans who had stayed in the garrison,
and he looked around and saw how
cleanly everything had been kept, aud
he saw that the baggage was all safe,
and he knew that these wounded and
crippled men would gladly enough have
been at the front if they had been able,
and the little general looks up from un
der his helmet and says: “No, no, let
us have fuir play;” and he rushes up to
one of these men and he says, "Hold
your hands together,” and the hands
are held together, aud he tills them
with silver. And he rushes up to an
n'her man who was sitting away back
and had no idea of getting any of the
spoils, and throws a Babylonish gar
ment over him and fills his hand with
gold. And he rushes up to another man
who had lost all bis property in serving
God aud his country yehrs before, and
be driven up some of tbe eattb and
-oiiic o? flic hcep rhat they hart brought
back from the Amalekites, and he gives
tv o or three of the cattle and three or
four of the sheep to this poor man. so
In* shall always be fed and clothed. Ho
sees a man so emaciated and worn out
and sick he needs stimulants, and he
gives him a little of the wine that he
brought from the Amalekites. Yonder
is a man who has no appetite for the
rough rations of the army, and he gives
him a rare morsel from the \malekit
ish banquet, and the two hundred crip
pled and maimed and aged soldiers who
tarried on garrison duty g**t just as
much of tlie spoils of battle as any of
the two hundred men that went to the
front, “As his part is that goeth down
to the battle, so shall his part be that
tarrieth by the stuff.”
The impression is abroad that the
Christian rewards are for those who
do conspicuous service in distinguished
places—great patriots, great preachers,
great philanthropists. But my text sets
forth the idea that there is just as much
reward for a man that stays at home
and minds his own business, and who,
crippled and unable to go forth and lead
in great movements and in the high !
places of the earth, does his w hole duty j
just where he is. Garrison duty is as ;
important and as remunerative as serv- 1
ice at the front. “As his part is that j
goeth dow-n to the battle, so shall his j
part be that tarrieth by the stuff.”
The Earl of Kintore said to me in an ,
English railway, “Mr. Talinage, when j
you get back to America I want you to
preach a sermon on the discharge of
ordinary duty in ordinary places, and !
then send me a copy of it.” Afterward
an English clergyman coming to this
land brought, from the Earl of Kintore
the same message! Alas! that before I
got ready to do what he asked me to do.
the good Earl of Kintore had departed
this life. But that man. surrounded by
all palatial surroundings, and in a dis
tinguished sphere, felt sympathetic 1
with those who had ordinary duties to
perform in ordinary places and in or
dinary ways. A great many people are
discouraged when they hear the story
of Moses, and of Joshua, and of David,
and of Luther, and of John Knox, and
of Deborah, and of Florence Nightin
gale. They say: "Oh, that was all good
and right for them, but I shall never be
called to receive the law on Mount Si
nai, I shall never be called to command
the sun and moon to stand still, I shall
never preach on Mars’ Hill, 1 shall
never defy the Diet of Worms, I shall
never be called to make a queen trem
ble for her crimes, I shall never pre
side over a hospital.” There are wom
en who say, “If I had as brilliant a
sphere as those people bad, I should
be as brave and as grand; but my busi
ness is to get children off to school, aud
to hunt up things when they are lost,
and to see that dinner is ready, and to
keep account of the household expenses,
and to hinder the children from being
strangulated by the whooping cough,
and to go through all the annoyances
and vexations of housekeeping. Oh, iny
sphere is so infinitesimal, and so Insig
nificant, I am clear discouraged.” Wom
an, God places you on garrison duty,
and your reward will be just as great
us that of Florence Nightingale, who
moving so often night by night with a
light in her hand through the hospitals,
was called by the wounded the “lady
of the lamp.” Your reward will be just
as great as that of Mrs. Hertzog, who
built and endowed theological seminary
buildings. Your reward will be just
as great as that of Hannah More, who
by her excellent books won for her ad
mirers Garrick and Edmund Burke and
Joshua Reynolds. Rewards are not to
be given according to the amount of
noise you make iu the w-orld, nor even
according to the amount of good you
do, but according to whether or not you
do your full duly in the sphere where
God has placed you.
Suppose you give to two of your chil
dren errands, and they arc to go off to
make purchases, and to one you give
one dollar and to the other you give
twenty dollars. Do you reward the boy
that you gave twenty dollars to for pur
chasing more than that amount of
money than the other boy purchased
with one dollar? Of course not. If God
give wealth or social position or elo
quence or twenty times the faculty to
a in in that he gives to the ordinary
man, is he going to give to the favored
man a reward because he has more
power and more influence? Oh, no. In
other words, if you and I were to do
our whole duty, and you have twenty
times more talent than I have, you will
get no more divine reward than I will.
Is God going to reward you because he
gave you more? That would not be
fair, that would not be right. These
two hundred men of the text who faint
ed by the Brook Besor did their who'.e
duty; they watched the baggage, they
took care of-the stuff; and they got as
much of the spoils of victory as the
men who went to the front. “As his
part is that goeth down to the battle, so
shall his part be that tarrieth by the
stuff.”
There is high encouragement in this
for all who have great responsibility
and little credit, for what they do. You
kuow the names of the great commer
cial houses of these cities. Do you
know the names of the confidential
clerks--the men who have the key to
the safe, the men who know the com
bination lock? A distinguished iner-
chant goes forth at tin* summer water
ing place, and lie flashes past, and you
say: “Who is that?” “Oh,” replies
some one, “don’t you know? That is
the great importer, that is the great
banker, that is the great manufactur
er.” The confidential clerk has his
week off. Nobody knows him, and after
awhile liis week is done, and he sits
down again at his desk. But God will
reward his fidelity just as much as he
recognizes the work of the merchant
philanthropist whose investments this
unknown clerk so carefully guarded.
Hudson River Railroad, Pennsylvania
Railroad. Erie Railroad. New York i<:
New Haven Railroad busiuOw- men
know the names of the ; .".'tv '.i
these roads and of the prominent di
rectors; but they do not know the names
of the engineers, the names of the
switchmen, the names of the flagmen,
the n imesof the brakemen. Those men
have awful responsibilities, and some
time-;, through the recklessness of an
engineer, or the unfaithfulness of a
switchman, it has brought to mind the
faithfulness of nearly all the rest of
them. Some men do not have recogni
tion of their services. They have
small wages, and much complaint.
I very often ride upon locomotives,
and I very often ask the ques
tion as we shoot around some
curve, or under some ledge of rocks,
“How much wages do you get ?” And
I am always surprised to find how little
for such vast responsibility. Do you
suppose God is not going to recognize
that fidelity? Thomas Scott, the presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
going up at death to receive from God
his destiny, was no better known in
that hour than was known last night
the brakeman who, on the Erie Rail
road, was jammed to death amid tin
car couplings. “As liis part is that
goeth down to the battle, so shall his
part be that tarrieth by the stuff."
Once for thirty-six hours we expected
every moment to go to the bottom of
the ocean. The waves struck through
the skylights, and rushed down into the
hold of the ship, and hissed against the
boilers. It was an awful time; but by
the blessing of God, and the faithful
ness of the men in charge, we came out
of the cyclone, and we arrived at home.
Each one before leaving the ship
thanked Captain Andrews. I do not
think there was a man or woman that
went off that ship without thanking
Captain Andrews, and when, years
after, I heard of his death. I was com
pelled to write a letter of condolence
to his family in Liverpool. Everybody
recognized the goodness, the courage,
the kindness of Captain Andrews; but
it occurs to me now that we never
thanked the engineer. He stood away
down iu the darkness, amid the hissing
furnaces, doing his whole duty. No
body thanked the engineer, but God
recognized his heroism and his con
tinuance and his fidelity, and there will
be just as high reward for the engineer
who worked out of sight, as the Captain.
who stood on the bridge of the ship in
the midst of the howling tempest. “As
his part is that goeth down to the
bottle. so shall his part be that tarrieth
by the stuff.”
A Christian woman was spen going
along the edge of a wood, every even
tide. and the neighbors in the country
did not understand bow a mother with
so many cares and anxieties should
waste so much time as to be idly saun
tering out evening by evening. It was
found out afterward that she went there
to pray for her household, and while
there one evening, she wrote that beau
tiful hymn, famous in all ages for
cheering Christian hearts:
I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care.
And spend the hours of setting day.
In humble, grateful prayer.
Shall there be no reward for such un
pretending, yet everlasting service?
Clear back in the country there is a
hoy who wants to go to college and get
an education. They call him a book
worm. Wherever they find him—in the
barn or in the house—he is reading a
book. “What a pity it is.” they say,
“that Ed cannot get an education.” His
father, work as hard as lie will, can no
more than support the family by the
product of the farm. One night Ed.
has retired to his room and there is a
family conference about him. The sis
ters say: “Father, I wish you would
send Ed. to college; if you will, we will
work harder than we ever did, and we
will make our old dresses do.” The
mother says, “Yes. I will get along
without any hired help: although i am
not as strong as I used to be. I think I
can get along without any hired help.”
The father says, “Well. I think by
husking corn nights I can get along
without any assistance.” Sugar is
banished from the table, butter is ban
ished from the plate. That family L
put down on rigid, yea. suffering econ
omy that the boy may go to college.
Time passes on. Commencement Day
has come. Think not that I mention
an imaginary case. God knows it hap
pened. Commencement Day has come,
and the professors walk in on the stage
in their long gowns. The interest of
the occasion is passing on. and after
a while it comes to a climax of interest
as the valedictorian is to be introduced.
Ed. has studied so hard and worked so
well that he has had the honor con
ferred upon him. There are rounds of
1 applause, sometimes breaking into vo
j citeration. It is a great day for Rd.
! But away back in the galleries are his
' sisters in their plain hats and their
; faded shawls, and the old-fashioned
father and mother -dear me, she has
not had a new hat for six years, he has
not had a new coat for six years—and
they get up and look over on the plat
form, and they laugh and they cry, and
they sit down and they look pale, and
then they are very much flushed. Ed.
gets the garlands, and the old-fashioned
i group in the gallery have their full
I share in the triumph. They have made
i that scene possible, and in the day
j when God shall more fully reward self
aacritices made for others, he will give
I grand and glorious recognition. "As

i tie, so shall his part he that tarrioth by

Cheer up, men and women of unap
preciated services. You will get your
reward, if not here, hereafter. When
Charles Wesley comes up to judgmi nt,
and the thousands of souls which were
wafted into glory through his songs
shall be enumerated, he will take his
throne. Then John Wesley will come
up to judgment, and after his name bus
, been mentioned in connection with the
iahatiuii of the millions of souls
brough: >o God through the Methodism
.vii 'h !t founded, he will take his
throne. But bet ween the two thrones of
Charles Wesley anil John Wesley, there
will be a throne higher than either, on
which shall sit Susannah Wesley, who
with maternal consecration iu Epworth
rectory. Lincolnshire, started those two
souls on their triumphant mission of
sermon and song through all following
ages. Oil. what a day that will be for
many who rocked Christian cradles
with weary foot, and who patched
worn-out garments and darned socks,
and out of a small income made the
children comfortable for the winter.
What a day that will lie for those to
whom the world gave the cold shoulder,
and called tin m nobodies, and be
grudged them the least recognition, and
who. weary and worn and sick, fainted
by the brook Besor. Oh, that will be a
mighty day when the Son of David
alia 11 distribute among them the gar
lands, the crowns, the sceptres, the
chariots, tin* thrones. And then it
shall be found out that all who on earth
served God in inconspicuous spheres,
receive just as much reward as those
who filled the earth with uproar of
achievement. Then they shall under
stand the height, the depth, the length,
the breadth, the pillared and domed
magnificence of my text. “As his part is
that goeth down to the battle, so shall
his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.”

The divine wisdom, power and good
ness are infinite. Therefore, there is
no reason why faith should not lie un
limited in God’s willingness and trust
worthiness to do for li is children what
ever he sees to he for their best good.
; From this point of view certainly there
is no limit to faith. From another
point of view there are limits. Sin in
us operates as a limit. So far as we
consciously continue to do wrong, to
that degree we hinder ourselves from
the exercise of a perfect and trium
phant faith, and. so to speak, put it out
of the Di\ ine power to reward our faith.
We make it impossible for God to hon
or our faitli consistently with his own
1 nature and his knowledge of what is
! best for us.

ABOUT SHOES.
fare Is Kci|ulre<t In Fitting Them to
the Feet.
There is a threadbare joke about the
woman who wears a No. 3 shoe on a
No. 5 foot—a feat that is impossible iu
xact ratio to the antiquity of the story.
There is a distinct limit to the squeez
ing capacity of any shoe, no matter
what may be the endurance of the
wearer. But. on the authority of the
most experienced shoe dealers, we find
it true that the majority of feet are
distorted and turned from their natural
growth b.v the obstinate and misplaced
vanity of the general shoe buyer. Very
few persons get their shoes long
enough. The great foot folly lies right
here. The masses buy short, broad
shoes, so that widths such as double
C and double I), that never ought to be
manufactured, are in much demand.
When a woman tells the size of her foot
she likes to make the use of a short
number —nothing is said about the
breadth.
The best authorities assure us that
eny one could have what sculptors call
the perfect foot, a long, narrow one, if
mothers would only begin, with the
first shoes, to put their children in
those that are a little longer than the
foot, adding all the extra space neces
sary before the toes instead of at tin:
sides, as they are for some unaccount
able reason so prone to do. Thus,
without injury, but rather to the ad
vantage of the foot, a pleasing shape
may early be secured at the expense of
the present squat extremities.
The other day a woman who hail
worn her shoes so short that her feet
had bumped themselves up at the in
step in the most unsightly protuber
ances told a salesman who tried to per
suade her to lessen the width and in
crease the length of a new purchase,
that she was considered by her friends
to have a “perfect Trilby foot.” Site
added, with a toss of her head: “A
longer size, indeed! Why. my foot was
modeled on the other side!”
“For what, unless it were as a mon
strosity?” thought another customer,
who overheard the remark.
The Chinese are not the only race
who disfigure their useful extremities.
They go systematically to work to ac
complish their deformities, while our
women do it by blindly ignoring the
pedal space that nature has allotted
them. The Mongolian feet are short
ened by a long turning up of the toes,
ours by cramping the members till the
instep is slowly raised in self-defense.
A naturally high instep is a thing of
beauty, but one that is elevated by
force is nothing but grotesque.
And (but of course this is a secret)
we find, if shoe dealers are to be trust
ed. that women are not alone in this
vanity. They declare that men com
mit the same folly of broad and short,
and, what is oddest of all, that country
people are much more prone to it than
city-bred men and women.
Another word of warning may prove
useful, as it seems not generally to ba
understood, that when one goes into
a shop to try on shoes the feet are con
tracted from the exercise of walking,
and are in the best condition for mak
ing them feel easy and comfortable.
Due allowance should be made, too, for
the first morning hours, when, after a
night’s idleness, the feet are somewhat
enlarged and quite likely to be aggres
sive in the matter of space.—New York
Times.
