[Copyright imo. I
Washington. D. C.?In this discourse
on a neglected incident of the Bille Dr.
'falmsgc draws some comforting lessons,
and s) ws (bat all around us are royal na?
tures that we may help deliver. The text
is II. Kings xi, 2, 3: "Jehoshcba, thc
daughter of King Jorams sister of Aba-'
ziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and
stole him from among the king's sons
which were slain, and they hid him, even
him i - I his nurse, in the bedchamber
from Athrb'ah. so t'->at he was not slain,
And he was with her hid in thc house of
the Lord six years."

child is apologetic and d-sposed to sub?

nothing more beautiful than childhood.
Grandmother lakes but her poekethand
kerchief and wipes- her spectacles and puts
them on and looks down into the face of
rici mischievous and rebellious descendant
and says: "I don't think he meant to d<>
it. Eet him oft lliis time. I'll be responsi?
ble for his behavior in the future." My
ynother, with the second generation around
her, .. boisterous crew, said one day: "I
suppose tjjcy ought to be disciplined, but
1 can't do it. Grandmothers arc-not fit
to bring up grandchildren.'' lint here in
my text we have a grandmother of a dif?
ferent type.
T have been at .Jerusalem, where the oc?
currence o.c the text took phtoc*, nnd the
whole scene came vividly before me while
I was going Over the site ol the ancient
temple and climbing the towers of the
king's palace. Here in the text it is old
Athaliah, the royal murderess. She ought
to have been honorable, lier lather Was
a king. Uer husband was a king, lier soil
was a kiug. And \et Vt find lier plotting
f<>: the extermination ol the entire royal
family-, including ber own grandchildren.
Thc executioners' knives are sharpened.
The palace i< red with the blood of princes
and princesses. On all sides are shrieks
and hands thrown np and sit uguie and
death goan No mercy! Kill! kill! 13ut
while the ivory floors of t lie palace ran
willi carnage and the whole land is under
the shadow of | great horror a Heel
footed woman, a clergyman's wife. Jello
sheba by name, stealthily approaches thc
imperial nursery, seizes upon the grand?
child thal had somehow as yet escaped
massacre, wraps it up tenderly, but in
haste, snuggles it against her, flies down
thc palace stairs, her heart in her throat
lest she bc discovered in this compassion?
ate abductions Get her cut of thc way as ?
quick as Von can. for she carries i pieciou?
burden, even a young king. With this
youthful prize she presses into the room
of the ancient temple, th? church of olden
time, unwraps the young king and pills
bim down, sound asleep as he is and un?
conscious ol' the peril that has been threat?
ened, and there for six years he is secreted
in that church apartment. Meanwhile old
Athaliah smacks her lips with satisfaction
and thinks that all the royal laraily are'
dead. But the six years expire, and it is:
time foi young Joash to come forth and
lake the throne and to push back into
disgrace and death old Athaliah.
The arrangements are ail made for po-'
Utica] revolution. The military come and
take possession of the temple, swear loy?
alty io the boy Joash and stand around
for jis defense. See thc sharpened swords
and thc burnished shields! Everything is!
ready. Now Joash, half affrighted at thc
armed tramp of his defenders, scared at ?
the vociferation of his admirers, is brought
lort li in full regalia. Thc scroll of author-,
ity is put in his hands, the coronet ol gov?
ernment is put on his brow, arid (he peo?
ple clapped and waved and huz.zaed and
trumpeted. "What is that?" said Atha?
liah. "What i.3 that sound over in the
temple?" And she flies to see, and on her
woy they u.?et her and say: "Why,
haven't you heard? V6u thouglvt you.
had slain all the royal family*-but Joash.
has come to light." Then the royal mur?
deress, frantic with rage, grabbed her man .
tie and torc it to tatters and cried until
she foamed at the mouth: "You have no
right to crown my grandson. You have
no right to take the government from my:
shoulders. Treason, treason!"
While 'he stood lhere crying Hie mili?
tary started for her arrest, and she took
H short cut through it back door of.the
temple and ran through the royal stables,
but the battleaxes of the military fell on'
her in the barnyard, and for many a day
when the horses were being unloosened
from the chariot, after drawing out young
.Joash the fiery steeds would snort and!
rear nassing the place as they smell the
place of the carnage.
Die first thought I hand you from this'
subject is that tfie extermination of right?
eousness is an impossibility. tVlien a
woman is good she is aot to be very good,
and when she is bad she is apt to be very
bad. and this Athaliah was one of the
latter sort. She would exterminate the'
last scion of the house of David, through,
whom Jesus wm to come. There was
plenty of work for embalmers and under?
takers. She would clear thc land of all
Cod fearing and God loving people. She
Wonk! put an end to everything that could
in anywise interfere with her imperial
criminality. She folds her hands and says:
"The work is done, it is completely
done." Is it? In (he swaddling clothes of
that church ; partment aie wrapped the
cause of God and thc cause of good gov?
ernment. That is the scion of the house
of David. It is Joash, the Cod-worshiping
reformed. It is Joash, the friend of God.
It is Joash, (he demoralizer of Baalitish
idolatry. Kock him tenderly, nurse him
gently. Athaliah, you may kill all the
other children, but you cannot kill him.
Eternal defenses are thrown all around
him, and (his clergyman's wife, Jehosheba,
will snatch him un from the palace nurs?
ery and will run down with him into the
house of the Lord, and there she will
hide him for six years, and at (he end of
that time he will come forth for your de?
thronement, and obliteration.
Well, my friends, just as poor a botch
does the world always make of extin?
guishing righteousness. Superstition rises
up and says, "I will just put an end te
pure religion." Domitian slew 40,000
Christians, Diocletian slew 844,000 Chris?
tians-. And the scythe of persecution has
been swung through all the ages, and thc
flames hissed and the guillotine chopped,
and t,hc Bastile groaned, but did the foes
of Christianity exterminate it? Did they
exterminate Alban, the first Britsh sacri?
fice, or Zwingli, thc Swiss reformer, or
John Oldcastle, the Christian nobleman,
or Abdallah, the Arabian martyr, or Anne
Askew or Sanders or Cranmer? Great
work of extermination (hey made of it.
Just at the time when they thought (hey
hod slain all thc royal family of Jesus
some Joash would spring up and out and
take the throne of power and wield a very
scepter of Christian dominion.
Infidelity says, "I will exterminate the
Bible/' and the Scriptures were thrown
into the stret. for the mob to trample on,
and they were piled up in the public
squares and set on fire, and mountains of
indignant contempt were hurled on them,
and learned universities decreed the Bible
out of existence. Thomas Paine said: "In
my 'Age of Reason' I have annihilated the
Scriptures. Your Washington is a pusil?
lanimous Christian, but I am the foe ot
Bibles and of churches." Ob, how many
assaults upon that void! All the hostili?
ties that have ever been created on earth
are not to be compared with the hostilities
against that one book. Said one man in
his infidel desperation to his wife. "Yon
must not be reading that Bible." and be
snatched it away from her. And though
in that Bible was a lock of hair of the
dead child?thc only child that Cod had
ever given them?he pitched the book with
its contenn into the lire and stirred it
with the tong; and spat on it and cursed
it and said, "Susan, never have any more
of that damnable stuff here."
How many individual and organized at?
tempt* have been made to exterminate
that Bible? Have its enemies Jone it?
Hare they exterminated the American
the British ana Foreign Bible Society? ]
Have thev exterminated-tue thousands, of
Christian Institutions whose only'onject
it is to multiply copies of tho Scripture
and spread them broadcast around thc
World? They have exterminated until in
stead of one or two copies of the Bible io
our houses we have eight or ten, and wc
pile them up in tue corners bf our Sabbath
school rooms and send great loxes ol
them everywhere. If they get on as well
as they are now going on in the work ol
extermination, I do not know but that
our childi-n may live to see (he millen
nium. lea, if there should come a time
of persecution in which all the known Bi
blcs of (he earth should bc destroyed, all
these lamps of life that blaze in our pul
pits and in our families extinguished, in
the very day that infidelity and sin shoul'1
be holding jubilee over the universal ex?
tinction lhere would bc in some clo et ol
a backwoods church a secreted cony of thc
Bible, and this Joash of eternal lit.'ralnrc
would conn out and come up and take tm
throne, and (he Athaliah of infidelity and
pen-ecu t;oil would fly out the back door ot
the palace and drop lier miserable eareaM
under the hoofs of thc horses of thc king's
stables. Voil cannot exterminate Chris
tianity! Voil cannot kill Joash!
The second thought I hand you from
my subject is that there are o;)portunitiev
in which you may save royal life. Von
know that prof ne history is replete with
stories of strangled monarch* and of young
princes %?6 have been put out of (he
way. Here is the s(ory of a young kine
saved. How Jehoshcba, (he clergyman'?
wife, must have trembled as she rushed
into thc imperial nursery and snatched U|
Joash! How she hushed him lest, by hit
cry he hinder the escape! Pry^s&h him
Jehosneba! You hold hi your arm's the
(?ans- of God and good government. Eal I
and he is slain. Succeed, and you turn
the tide of the world's history in the right
direction, lt seems as, ff' between thai

E. C; Green, bi the Ceylon botanic
gardens, reports a remarkable case of
web-spiuning by red ants. A breach
having been made in a structure of
leaves on which a colony were at
work, the ants at once ret to work to
repair Uie damage. Some ol' them
went to a distant nest and brought two
young ants that were in Hie grut)
stage and passed them back and forth
across the gap repeatedly. At length
lt was seen that a web was being
spun, the silken threads issuing from
the mouths of the grubs. In this way
the breach was mended. The mature
ants must have passed the spinning
stage; hence they impressed the young?
sters.

It. is a matter of common observa?
tion that cats always fall upon their
feet. Recently a Maltese kitten about
two-thirds grown, belonging to Mr. J.
IL Serviss, of Gloater, X. J., was
chased by a dog and took refuge in
a tall tree, which lias almost no
branches nj) to a height of sixty feet.
The kitten ascended to that elevation,
and apparently through terror refused
to descend. It remained on its lofty
perch four days and nights, including
one night of tempestuous rain and
lightning. Finally a boy. armed with
climbers, was sent after the kitten. On
his approach, It ran out on a slender
branch qnd leaped. Mr. Serviss
watched it Ascend and observed that
Its legs were widely sprawled, aud
that it kept its belly toward the
ground, until, striking a smaJl branca
of a neighboring tree about fifteen feet
from the ground, its balance was de?
stroyed, and it fell on its side. No
bones were broken, but it was severe?
ly bruised, and for several days it
would swallow nothing but water.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, which
has an altitude of about 0000 feet, the
recipes and regulations laid down by
the ordinary cook-book aiy, it seems,
worthless. Water boils there at '202
degrees Fahrenheit instead of at lilli
degrees, as at sea level; hence articles
of food to be boiled require a much
longer cooking than the usuhl cook?
book prescribes. On account of the
extreme dryness of the air. farina?
ceous foods, such as beaus, corn, etc.,
lose so much of their moisture that
they require long soaking in water
before cooking. The worst difficulty,

THE TORN OF LIFE.
The Most Important Period in a
Woman's Existence.?Mrs. John?
son Tells How She Was Helped
Over the Trying Time.
Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand ap?
proaches this perfectly natural change wirshout experiencing a train of very
annoying, and sometimes painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending thc blood surging to the benrt until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills,
as if the heart were going to 6top for good, are only a few of the symptoms ol
a dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves arc crying out for assistance. Tho
cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was*
prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life.
The three following letters are guaranteed to be genuine and true, and
still further prove what a great medicine Lydia li. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is for women.
Mar. 12, 1897.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham :? I have been sick for a long time. I was taken
sick with flooding. All my trouble seemed to be in the womb. I ache all the
time at the lower part of the womb. The doctor says thc womb is covered
with ulcers. I suffer with a pain on the left side of ray back over thc kidney.
I am fifty years old and passing through the change of life. Please advise me
what to do to get relief. Would like to hear from you as soon tis possible." ?
Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, Monclova, Ohio.
Jan. 23, ie96.
" I have been taking your remedies, and think they have helped me a great
deal. I had been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable
Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the '
house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The most that
troubles me now is the flowing. That is not so bad, but still there is a little
every day. I am not discouraged yet. and shall continue with your medicine,
for t believe it aritt cure me." ? Mus. Charlotte Johnson, Monclova,Ohio.
April 13, KKK). ,
" I send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick for
about nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could
not sit up long enough to have my bed made. 1 had five different doctors, and
all said there was no help for mc. My trouble was change of life. I suffered
with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back?
ache, headache, and dizziness. I am well and strong, and fool like a Btw
person. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew mc. I Owe
all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I would not do without
your medicine for anything. There is no need of women suffering so much if
they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure." ? Maa, Charlotte
Johnson, Monclova, Ohio.
When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Ilea,
Pinkham's advice and medicine, it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all
true as stated in her three letters published above at lier own request.
As'>a.,matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of
letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period
"Change of Life." Mrs. Johnson's euro is not an unusual one for Mrs. Pink?
ham's medicine to accomplish.
