THE BROOK Ij"S DIVINE'S SUN
DAY SERMOX.
Subject: A Great Woman.
Text? "And it fell on a day ttuit Elisha
pas.l (o Shunr-m, where xra a great wo
man." II Kings Iv.. 8.
The hotel of our time had no counterpart
in any entertainment of oldea time. The
vast majority of travelers must then be en
tertained at private abode. Here come?
Elisha, a servant of the Lord, on a divine
mission, and he must And shelter. A bal
cony overlooking the valley Esdraelon is of
fered him in a private house, and it is es
pecially furnished for his occupancy a chair
tosit on, a table from which to eat, a candle
stick, by which to read and a bed on which to
lumber the whole establishment belonging
to a preat and ?ood woman.
Her husband, it seems, was a godly man,
but he was entirely overshadowed by his
wife's excellencies, just as now you some
times find in a household the wife the centre
of dignity and influence and power, not by
any arrogance or presumption, bat by
superior intellect and force of moral nature
wielding domestic affairs and at the same
time supervising all financial and business
affairs, the wife's hand on the shuttle, on the
banking house, on the worldly business.
You see hundreds of men who are successful
only because there is a reason at home why
they are successful.
If a man marry a good, ,hon3st soul, he
makes his fortune. If he marry a fool, the
Lord help him ! The wife may be the silent
partner in the firm, there may be only
masculine voices down on exchange, but
there oftentime comes from the home circle
a potential and elevating influence.
This woman of my text was the superior of
her husband. He, as far as I can under
stand, was what we often see in our day a
man of large fortune and only a modicum of
brain, intensely quiet, sitting a long while in
the same place without moving hand or foot
if you say "yes," responding "yes ;" if
you say "no," responding "no" inane, eyes
half shut, mouth wide open, maintaining his
f)Osition in society only because he has a
arge patrimony. But his wife, my text says,
was a great woman.
Her name has not come down to us. She
belonged to that collection ot people who
need no name to distinguish them. What
would tit!e.of duchess or princess or queen
what would escutcheon or gleaming diadem
be to this woman of my text, who, by her
intelligence and her behavior, challenges the
admiration of all ages? Long after the bril
liant women of the court of Louis XV have
been forgotten, and the brilliant women of
the court of Spain have been forgotten, and
the brilliant women who sat on mighty thrones
have been forgotten, some grandfather will
put on his spectacles, and holding the book
the other side the light read to his grandchil
dren the story of this great woman of Shu
nem who was so kind and courteous and
Christian to the good prophet Elisha. Yes.
she was a great woman.
In the first place, she was great in her
hospitalities. UncivihVl and barbarious
nations honor this virtue. Jupiter had the
surname of the hospitable, and he was said
especially to avenge the wrongs of strang
ers. Homer exalted it in his verse.
The Arabs are punctilious upon this subject,
and among some of their tribes it is not until
the ninth day of tarrying that the occupaut
has a right to ask his guest, "Who and
whence art thou?" If this virtue is so hon
ored even among barbarians, how ought it to
be honored among those of us who believe
in the Bible, which commands us to use hos
pitality one toward another without grudg
ing? Of course I do not mean under this cover
to give any idea that I approve of that va
grant class who go around from place to
place ranging their whole lifetime perhaps
under the auspices of some benevolent or
philanthropic society, quartering themselves
on Christian families, with a great pile of
trunks in the hall and carpetbag portentous of
tarrying. There is many a country parson -age
that looks out week by week upon the
ominous arrival of wagon with creaking
wheel and lank horse and dilapidated driver,
come under the auspice.-, of some charitable
institution to spend a few weeks and canvass
the neighborhood. Let no such religious
tramps take advantage of this beautiful vir
tue of Christian hospitality.
Not so much the sumptuousnes of your
diet and the regality of your abode will im
press the friend or the stranger that steps
across your threshold as the warmth of your
greeting, the informality of your reception,
the reiteration by grasp and by look and by a
thousand attentions, insignificant attentions,
of your earnestness of welcome. There will
be high appreciation of your welcome,
-although you have nothing but the brazen
candlestick and the plain chair to offer Elisha
when he comes to Shunem.
Most beautiful is this grace of hospitality
when shown in the house of God. I am
thankful that I am pastor of a church where
strangers are always welcome, and there is
not a State in the Union in which I have not
heard the affability of the ushers of our
church complimented. But I have entered
churches were there was no hospitalit-. A
stranger would stand in the vestibule for
awhile and then make pilgrimage up ify
long aisle. No door opened to him until,
flushed and excited and embarrassed, he
started back again, and coming to some hail
filled pew with apologetic air entered it,
while the occupants glared on him with a
look which seemed to say, "Well, if I must,
I must." Away with such accursed in
decency from the house of God ! Let every
church that would maintain large Christian
influence In community culture Sabbat a '-y
Sabbath this beautiful grace of Christian hos
pitality. A good man traveling in the far west, in
the wilderness, was overtaken by night, and
storm, and he put in at a cabin. He saw lire
arms along the beams of the cabin ; and he
feit alarmed. He did not kuow but that h'i
had faiien into xi den of thieves. He sat
there greatly perturbed. After a.vhile the
man of the house came home with a gun on
his shoulder and set it down in a corner,
i'he stranger was still more alarmed. After
awhile the man of the house whispered with
his wife, and the stranger thought his de
struction was being planned.
Then the man of the house came forward
and said to the stranger "Stranger, we are
a rough and rude people out here, and we
work hard for a living. We make our living
by hunting, and when we come to the night
jail we are tired, and we are apt to tro to be I
early, and before retiring we are always in
the habit of reading a chapter from the word
of God and making a prayer. If you dont
like such things, if you will just step. outside
the door until we get through I'll be greatly
obliged to you.' Of course the st ranger tar
ried in the room, and the old hunter took
hold of the horns ot the altar and brought
down the blessing of God upon his house
hold and upon the stranger within their
gates. Rude but glorious Christian hospi
tality !
Again, this woman in my text was great in
her kindness toward God's messenger. Elisha
may have been a stranger in that houshold,
but as she found out he had come on a divin
mission he was cordially welcome. We havt
a great many books in our day about tfce
hardships of ministers astd tfe trials - of
Christian minivers. I wish somebody would
write a book about the joys of the Christian
minister about the sympathies all around
him, about the kindnesses, about the genial
considerations of him.
Does sorrow come to our home and is there
a shadow on th? cradle, there are hundreds
of hands to help, and rtny who weary not
through the long night watching, and hun
dreds of prayers going up that God would
restore the sick, is therw a burning, brim
ming cup of calamity placed on the pastoj'3
table, are there not many to help him to
drink of that cup and who will not be com
forted because he is stricken? Oh, for some
body to write a book about the rewards of
the Christian minister about Ws surround
ings of Christian sympathy.
This woman of the text was only a type of
thousands of men and women who come
down from the mansion and from the cot to
do kindness to the Lord's servants. I sup
pose the men of Shunem had to pay the bills,
but it was the large hearted Christian sympa
thies of the women of Shunem that looked
after the Lord's messenger.
Again, this woman in the text was great in
her behavior under trouble.
Her only son had died on her lap . A very
bright light went out in that household. The
sacred writer puts it very tersely when he
says, "He sat on her knees until noon, and
then he died' Yet the writer goes on to say
that she exclaimed, "It is well !" Great in
prosperity, this woman was great in trouble.
Where are the feet that have not been blis
tered on the hot sands of this great Sahara?
Where are the shoulders that have not been
bent under the burden of grief? Where is
the ship sailing over glassy sea that has nt
after awhile been caught in a cyclone? Where
is the garden of earthly comfort but trouble
hath hitched up it3 fiery and panting team
and gone through it with burning plowshare
of disaster? Under the pelting of ages of
suffering the great heart of the world has
burst with woe.
Navigators tell us about the riveqp, and the
Amazon and the Danube and the Mississippi
have been explored, but who can tell the
depth or length of the great river of sorrow
made up of tears and blood rolling through
all lands and all ages, bearing the wreck of
families and of communities and of empires
foaming, writhing, boiling with the agon
ies of G00O years? Etna and Cotopaxi and
Vesuvius have been described, but who has
ever sketched the volcano of suffering reach
ing np from its depths the lava and the scoria
nnd pouring them down the sides to whelm
the nations? Oh, if I could gather all the
heartstrings, the broken heartstrings, into a
harp I would play on it a dirge such as was
never sounded.
Mythologists tell us of Gorgon and Cen
taur and Titan, and geologists tell us of ex
tinct species of monsters, but greater than
Gordon or megatherium, and not belonging
to tha realm of fable, and not of an extinct
species, is a monster with iron jaw and iron
ho-jfs walking across the nations, and his
tory and poetry and sculpture, in their at
tempt to sketch it and describe it, have
seemed to sweat great drops of blood.
But, thank God, there are those who can
conquer as this woman of the text conquered
and say : "It is well ! Though my property
be gone, though my children begone, though
my home be broken up, though my health
be sacrificed, it is well, it is well !'' There is
no storm on the sea but Christ is ready to
rise in the hinder part of the ship and hush
it. There is no darkness but the constella
tions of God's eternal love can illumine it,
and though the winter comes out of the
northern sky you have sometimes seen the
northern sky all ablaze with auroras that
seem to say : "Come up this way. Up this
way are thrones of light, and seas of sap
phire, and the splendor of an eternal heaven.
Come up this way."
We may, like the ships, by tempest be tossed
On perilous depths, but cannot be lost.
Though satan enrage the wind and the tide.
Tue promise assures us the Lord will provide.
I heard an echo of my text in a very dark
hour, when my father lay dying, and the old
country minister said to him, "ilr. Talmage,
how do you feel now as you are about to pass
the Jordan of death?" He replied and it
was the last thing he ever said "I feel well ;
I feel very well ; all is well," lifting his hand
in a benediction, a speechless benediction,
which I pray God may go down through all
the generations. It is well ! Of course it
was well.
Again, this woman of my text wa? great
in her application to domestic duties. Every
picture is a home picture, whether she is
entertaining an Elisha, or whether she is giv
ing careful attention to her sick boy, or
whether she is appealing for the restoration
of her property every picture in her case is
a home picture. Those who are not disci-"
pies of this Shunemite woman who, going
out to attend to outside charities, neglect the
duty of home the duty of wife, of mother,
of daughter. No faithfulness in public ben
efaction can ever atone for domestic negli
gence. There has been many a mother who by in
defatigable toil has reared a large family of
children, equipping them for the duties of
life with good manners and large intelli
gence and Christian principle, starting them
out, who has done more for the world than
many another woman whose name has
sounded through all the lands and all the
centuries.
I remember when Kossuth was in this
country there were some- ladies who got
reputations by presenting him very grace
fully with bouquets of flowers on public oc
casions, but what was all that compared with
the work of the plain Hungarian mother who
gave to truth and civilization and the cause
of universal liberty a Kossuth? Yes. this
woman of my text was great in her simplicity.
When the prophet wanted to reward her
for her hospitality by asking some prefer
ment from the king, what did she say? She
declined it. She said : "I dwell among my
own people,' as much as to say "I am
satisfied with my lot. All I want is my
family and my friends around me. I dwell
among my own people." Oh. what a rebuke
to the strife for precedence in all ages !
How many there are who want to get great
architecture and homes furnished rcith all
art. all painting, all statuary, who have-not
enough taste to distinguish between gothic
and byzantine, and who could not tell a
figure" in plaster of Paris from Talmer's
"White Caj-tive," and would not know aboy's
penciling from Bierstadt's "Yosemite" men
who buy large libraries by the square foot,
buying these libraries when they have hardly
enough education to pick out the day of the
almanac ! Ob, how many there are striving
to have things as well as their neighbors, or
better than their neighbors, and in the strug
gle vast fortunes are exhausted and business
firms thrown into bankruptcy, and men of
reputed honesty rush into astounding for
geries. Of course I say nothing against refinement
or culture. Splendor of abode, sumptuous
ness of diet, lavishness in art, neatness in ap
parel there is nothing against them in the
Bible or out of the Bible. God does not
want us to prefer mud hovel to English cot
tage, or untanned sheepskin to French
broadcloth, or husks to pineapple, or the
clumsiness of a boor to the manners of a
gentleman. God, who strung tha beach with
tinted shell and the grass of the field with
the dews of the night and hath exquisitcly
tinged morning cloud and robin red breast,
wants us to keep our eye open to all beauti
ful sights, and our ear open to all beautiful
cadences, and our heart open to all elevating
sentiment. But what I want to impress upon
you is that you ought not to inventory th
luxuries of life as among the indispensable,
and you ought not to depreciate this woman
of the text, who. when offered kingly prefer
ment, responded, "I dwell among my own
people."
Yes this woman of the text was great in
her pietv, faith in Goi, and she was not
ashamed to talk about it before idolaters. Ah.
woman will never appreciate what she owt?s
to Christianity until she know and sees the
degradation of her sex under paganism and
3Iahommedanism. Her very birth considered
a misfortune. Sold like cattle in the sham
bles. Slave of all work, and at last her body
fuel for the funeral pyre of her husband.
Above the shriek of the fire worship?rs in
India and above the rumbling of the jugger
nauts I hear the million voiced gro in of
wronged, insulted, broken hearted, down
trodden woman. Her tears have fallen in the
Nile and Tigris and the La Plata and on the
steppes of Tartary. She has been dishon
ored in Turkish garden and Persian palace
and Spanish Aihantbra. Her little ones have
been sacrificed in the Ganges. There i3 not
a groan, or a dungeoD, or an island, or a
mountain, or a river, or a sea but could tell
a story of the outrages neaped upon her.
But, thanks to God, this glorious Chris
tianity comes forth, and all the chains of
this vassalage are snapped, and she rises up
from ignominy to exalted sphere and be
comes the affectionate daughter, the gentle
wife, the honored mother, the useful Chris
tian. Oh, if Christianity has done so much
for woman, surely woman will become its
most ardent advocate and its sublimest
exemplification I
When I come to speak of womanly influ
ence, my mind always wanders off to one
model the oged one who. 27 years ago, we
put away for the resurrection. About 87
years ago. and just before their marriage
day, my father and mother stood up in the
old meeting house at Somerville. N. J., and
took upon them the vows of the Christian.
Through a long life of vicissitude she lived
harmlessly and usefully and came to her end
in peace. No child of want ever came to her
door and was turned empty away. No one
in sorrow came to her but was comforted.
No one asked her the way to be saved but she
pointed him to the cross. When the angel
of life came to a neighbor's dwelling, sho
was there to rejoice at the starting of an
other immortal spirit. When the angel of
death came to a neighbor's dwelling, she
was there to robe the departed for the burial.
We had often heard her, when leading
family prayers in the absence of my father,
say. "O Lord, I ask not for my children
wealth or honor, but I do ask that they all
may Ke the subjects of Thy comforting grace 1"
Her 11 children brought into the kingdom of
God, she had but one more wish, and that
was that she might see her long absent mis
sionary son, and wben the ship from China
anchored in New York harbor and the long
absent one passed over the threshold of his
paternal home she said, "Now, Lord, lettest
Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine
eyes have seen the salvation." The prayer
was soon answered.
It was an autumnal day when we gathered
from afar and found only the house from
which the soul had fled forever. She looked
very natural, the hands very much as when
they were employed in kindness for her
cnuarea. w nat ever else we rorget, we never
forget the look of mother's hands. As we
stood there by the casket we could not help
but say, "Don't she look beautiful?' It was
a cloudless day when, with heavy hearts,
we carried her out to the last resting
place. The withered leaves crumbled under
hoof and wheel as we passed, nnd the sun
shone on the Raritan River until it looked
like fire ; but more calm and beautiful and
radiant was the setting sun of that aged pil
grim's life. No more toil, no more tears, no
more sickness, no more death. Dear mother I
Beautiful mother !
Sweet is the slumber beneath the sort,
While the pure spirit rests with God.
I need not go back and show you Zenobia
or Semiramis or Isabella or even the woman
of the text as wonders of womanly excellence
or greatness when I in this moment point to
your own picture gallery of memory, and
show you the one face that you rftmember so
well, and arouse all your holy reminiscences,
and start you in new consecration to God by
the pronounciation of that tender, beautiful,
glorious word, "Mother, mother!"
TBAOKS TORN UP.
A Fight Follows, and Railway Em
ployes Kill Three in All.
The Gilberton (Penn.) borough officials
tore up the tracks of the Schuylkill Traction
Company because that company failed to
comply with the borough ordinances. The
company officials sent a force of men to try
to effect an amicable settlement.
When the break in the road was reached
President It. E. Jones of the traction com
pany, with Richard Amour of Shenandoah,
chief of the company's polic?, got off the
car and in a few moments had effected
a settlement, and the work of tearing up
tracks was stopped. In the car were a
number of men taken on at Girard
ville. members of the National Guard,
who had with them rifles belonging to the
company. While the railway officials were
engaged in conversing with the borough of
ficers some of the crowd taunted the men on
board the car and called out : "Where is the
Girardville militia?'
A man named John Eriggs, of Girardville,
stepped out and said : "Here we are," ac
companying his salutation with an oath, and
levelling his rifle fired into the crowd, killing
Richard Paiflit, a spectator. This enraged
the peopie and stones were thrown. Shots
from the car became general.
Chief Amour tried to subdue the trouble.
and while in the act of stopping his men was
shot in the breast and killed, me oattie
raged for an hour or more, until the cooier
headed people of Gilberton prevailed upon
the crowd to disperse, and the dead and in
jured were then looked after.
The death list is :
Richard Amour, shot and died ; Richard
Paifitt, aged twenty-five, single, shot and
killed; William Hughes, aged nineteen, of
Gilberton, an onlooker, shot and killed.
Four spectators were also wounded.
RUSSIA TAKES A HAFD.
Seizure of British and American Seal
ers by a Man-of-War.
The sealing schooner Yiva eair.e into port
at Victoria, British Columbia, and announced
the seizure of the Victoria sealers Ainoka
and Minnie and two American sealers by a
Russian man-of-war for sealing within the
zone protected around Copper Island.
The papers of the Ainoka and Minnie were
confiscated and they were ordered to pro
ceed to Yokohama for trial before the British
Consul or Admiralty Court. It appears likely
that the Victoria sealers will run in and dis
charge the orders.
The Captain of the Viva says he saw the
Minnie taken, and says she was thirty miles
out from the islands. The Russians say bh-r
was only twenty-two miles out.
The cut in the great white pine territory of
the upper Mississippi alley will this year
fall considerably short of last rear.

RIOT IN BOMBAY.
Fury of Religious Hatred Beyond
Military Control.
The religious race rioting was resumed in
Bombay, India, and for several hours the
streets were the scenes of desperate conflicts.
The fighting was of the most sanguinary na
ture, and a large number of persons were
killed and wounded.
The day being a Hindoo holiday, the au
thorities anticipated a renewal bf the re
cent disturbances, and were in a measure
prepared to suppress an outbreak ; but the
police and the force of troops in the garrison
were inadequate to cover the whole city, and
before quiet had been restored in one district
iresh outbreaks would occur in other parts
of the city.
The rage of the Hindoos was directed
especially against the mosques, several of
which were sacked and burned. All the pub
lic buildings are now guarded by troops, and
the gunboats in the harbor have been cleared
for action and brought into position to cover
the native quarters. The local authorities
are confident of being able ultimately to quell
the rising. Europeans sought protection in
the public buik'ings under military guard.
KILLED IN STREET FIGHTS,
Fatal Quarrel Between French and
Italian Workmen in France.
French and Italian workingmen fought in
Aigues-Mortes, department of Gard, France.
The fight began in the street at noon and was
carried on for nearly two hours.
The police made repeated efforts to restrain
the men, but were not strong enough to re
st ore the peace. Ten men were killed and
forty more were wounded severely.
Troops and police were taken from Nimes
to Aigues-Mortes in the afternoon to restore
order. After the fight the French working
men, who had beaten the Italians, started a
man hunt to exterminate the foreign work
ingmen in the town. They attacked with
knives and clubs every Italian that they
caught.
The Italians fled from the town, and most
of those who had been in the fight took
possession ot farm buildings and barricaded
the doors.
SHOT ON THE STREET.
A Colored Man Kills a White Woman
and Commits Suicide.
A fashionably dressed white woman and a
colored man engaged in conversation on
Wylie avenue, Pittsburg, Penn., at 2 p. m. a
few days ago. The woman quietly started
on her way.
The man stood irresolute for a moment,
then walked up behind his companion,
pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired
two bullets into her head. She fell uncon
scious, and fatally injured. He then turned
the pistol to hi3 own head and fired. He fell
dead.
The womah proved to be Ella Lawton and
the man Edward Freeman.

CURED ME.
Doctors Said I Could Not Live.
POOR HEALTH FOR YEARS.
Mf . WUlcox is a practical farmer and Poet
master in the village where he resides, acd is
well known for miles around. He write: I
had been in poor health for a long tUne.
Four years agro the crisis came, and a number
of our best physicians said I would not
live a year. I began using Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-lloot, Kidney, Liver and Bladder Cure:
then my doctor said it might help ae ior a
time, but I would not be here a year hence.
My difficulties, aggravated by Iheun:ati-sa,
were so bad I could not get either hand to my
face. I continued the medicine nearly a year,
and now I am as well as any man
of my age sixty-eight years.
Swamp-Root Saved My Life
and the good bealtn, l now r-
Joy is due to its use.
