WORK NEAREST AT HAND
Rev. Dr. Talmage Says Be Grateful for
God's Common Blessings.
Pul Your Religion Into Practice? Revenue
of Spiritual Strength.
Washington', D. C.-In this discourse,
Dr. Talmage advises us to do our best tn
i.he spheres where we are placed and not
wait to serve Cod in resounding position;
text, 1 Corinthians X, 81, "Whether, there
fore, ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of Cod."
When the apostle in this text sets forth
tho idea that so common an action as the
taking of food and drink is to be conduct?
ed to the glory of God, he proclaims the
importance of religion in thc ordinary af?
fairs of our life. In all ages of the world
there has been a tendency to set apart cer?
tain days, places and occasions for wor?
ship, and to think those were thc chief
realms io which religion was to act. Now,
holy days and holy places have their im?
portance. They give opportunity for spe?
cial performance of Christian duty and for
regaling ol the religious appetite, but they
cannot take the place of continuous exer?
cise of faith and prayer. In other words,
a man cannot be so much of a Christian on
Sunday that he can afford to be I world?
ling all the rest of the week. If a steamer
put out for Southampton and go one day
tn that direction and tlie other six days in
other directions, how lonj before the steam?
er will get to Southampton? It will never
get there. And, though a man may seem
to be voyaging heavenward during the holy
Sabbath day, if during the following six
days of the week he is going toward tito
world and toward the flesh and toward thc
devil how long will it take him to reach
the peaceful harbor of heaven. You can?
not cat so much at the Sabbath banquet
that you can afford religious abstinence
the other six days. Heroism and princely
behavior on great occasions are no apology
for lack of right demeanor in circumstances
insignificant and inconspicuous. Thc gen
' uine Christian life is not spasmodic; does
| not go by fits und starts. It toils on
through heat and cold, up steep mount*
' ains nnd along dangerous declivities, it?
eye on the everlasting hills crowned with
tlie castles of lite blessed. I propose to
plead for nn everyday religion.
In the first place we want to bring the
religion of Christ into our conversation.
When a dam breaks and two or three vil?
lages are overwhelmed or an earthquake
in South America swallows a whole city,
then people begin to talk about the uncer?
tainty or lifo, and they imagine that they
nre engaged in positively religious conver?
sation. No. You may talk about the?c
things and have no grace of God at all in
your heart. Wc ought every day to be
talking religion. If there is anything glad
about it, anything beautiful about it, any?
thing important about it, we ought to be1
continuously discussing.
I have noticed that men just in propor?
tion as their Christian experience is shal?
low talk about funerals and graveyards and
tombstones and deathbeds. The real, gen?
uine Christian man talks chiefly about this
life and the great eternity beyond and net
po much about the insignificant pass be?
tween these two residences.
And yet how few circles there are where
the religion of Jesus Christ is welcome.
Go into a circle even of Christian people,
where they are full of joy and hilarity, and
talk about Christ or heaven and everything
is immediately silenced. As on a summer
day when the forests are full of life, chat?
ter, chirrup and carol?a mighty chorus o_
bird harmony, every tree branch an orches?
tra?if a hawk appear in the sky, every
voice stops and the forests arc still.
Just so I have seen a lively religious cir?
cle silenced on the appearance of anything
like religious conversation. No one had
anything to say save perhaps Borne old pa?
triarch in the corner of the room, who
really thinks that something ought to bo
said under ihe circumstances; so he puts
one foot over the other and heaves a lon;;
sigh and says, "Oh, yes; that's go, that's
bo!"
My friends, the religion of Jesus Christ
is something to talk about with a glad
heart. It is brighter than tho sunshine.
Do not go around groaning about your re?
ligion when you ought to be singing it or
talking it in cheerful tones of voice. How
often it is that we find men whose lives
are utterly inconsistent who attempt to
talk religion and always make a failure of
it! My friends, we must live religion or
we cannot talk it. If a man is cranky and
cross and uncongenial and hard in his deal?
ings and then begins to talk about Christ
and heaven, everybody is repelled hy it.
Yet I have heard such men say in whining
tones, "We ave miserable sinners," "The
I ord h'c*s you," "The Lord have mercy on
you," their conversation interlarded with
suen expressions which mean nothing but
canting, and canting is the worst form of
hypocrisy. If we have really felt the re?
ligion of Christ in our hearts, let us talk
it. and talk it with an illuminated counte?
nance, remembering that when two Chris?
tian people talk God gives special atten?
tion and writes down what they say: Ma?
lachi iii. 10, "Then they that feared the
Lord spoke often one to another, and the
Lord hearkened and heard it, and a book
of remembrance was written." _
Again, I remark, we must bring the reli?
gion of Christ into our employments. "Oh,"
von say, "that is very well if a man handle
large sums of money or if lie have an ex?
tensive traffic, but in thc humble work in
life that 1 am called to the sphere is too
small for the action of such grand, heaven?
ly principles." Who told you so? Do you
noe know that Cod watches the faded Ipaf
on the brook's surface as certainly as He
does Uie path of a blazing sun? And thc
mo-s that creeps up the side of the ro-.-k
maizes as much impression upon God's
mind as the waving tops of Oregon pine
and Lebanon cedar, and the alder, crack?
ling under thc cow's hoof, sounds as loud
in God's ear as the snap of a world's con?
flagration. When you have anything to do
in life, however humble it may seem to be,
God is always there to help you to do it.
If your work is thai of a fisherman, then
God will help you, as He helped Simon
when He dragged Genncsaret. If your
work is d -awing water then He will help
you. as when He talked at the well curb
io the Samaritan woman. If you arc en?
gaged in the custom house, He will lead
you as He led Matthew sitting at the re?
ceipt of customs.
A religion that is not good in one place
ia r.ct worth anything in another place.
The man who has only a day's wages in his
pocket as certainly needs the guidance of
religion ai he who rattles the keys of a
bank and could abscond with a hundred
thousand dollars.
There arc those prominent in the
churches who seem to be on public occa?
sions very devout who do not put the
principles of Christ's religion into practice.
They arc the most inexorable of creditors.
Uley are the most grasping of dealers.
They are known as sharpers on the street.
I hey fleece every sheep they ean catch. A
country merchant comes in to buy spring
or fall goods, and he gets into the store of
one of these professed Christian men who
have really no grace in their hearts, and he
is completely swindled. He is so overcome
that he cannot get out of town during the
week. He stay9 in town over Sunday, goe3
into sonic church to get Christian consola?
tion, when what is his amazement to find
that tito very man who hands him the poor
box in the church is the one who relieved
him of his money! But never mind; tho
deacon has his black coat on now. Ho
looks solemn and goes home, talking about
"the blessed sermon." If the wheat in the
churches should be put into a hopper, the
first turn of the crank would make tho
tin.if fly, I tell you. Some of these men
nre great sticklers for gospel preaching.
They say: "You stand there in bands and
surplice and gown and preach?preach like
tin angel?and we will stand out here and
attend to business. Don't mix things.
Don't get business and religion in the same
bucket. You attend to your matters, and
tve will attend to ours." They do not know
that God sees every cheat they have prac?
ticed in the last six years; that He tran look
through the iron wall of their fireproof
safe; "that He has counted every dollar
they have in their pocket, and that a day
of judgment will come. These inconsistent
Christian men will sit on thc Sabbath night
in the house of God singing at the close of
the service, "Rock of ages cleft for me,"
and then v.'hen the benediction ia nra.
bounced shut thc pew door and say as they
go out: "Goob-bye, religion. I'll bc back
next Sunday."
I think that the church of God and thc
Sabbath are only an armory where we aro
to get weapons. When war comes, if a
man wants to fight for his country, he
does not go to Troy or to Springfield to do
battling, but he goes there for swords and
muskets. I look upon thc church of Christ
and the Sabbath day as only the place and
time where and when we are to get armed
for Christian conflict, but the battlefield is
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs?
day, Friday and Saturday.
Now, be careful to let none of those an?
noyances go through your soul ttnarraigned.
Compel them to administer your spiritual
wealth. The scratch of a sixpenny nail
sometimes produces lockjaw, and the cliu
of a most innnnesimal annoyance" may
damage you iorever. Do not let any an?
noyance or perplexity come across your
soul without its making you better.
Our National Government did not think
it belittling to put a tax on pins and a tax
on buckles and a tax on shoes. The indi?
vidual taxes do not amount to much, but
in the aggregate to millions and millions of
dollars. And I would have you, "0 Chris?
tian man, put a high tariff on every annoy?
ance and vexation that comes through your
soul. This might not amount to much in
single cases, but in thc aggregate it would
be a great revenue of spiritual strength and
satisfaction. A bee can suck honey even
out of a nettle, and if you have the grace?
of God in your heart you can get sweetness
out of that which would otherwise irri?
tate and annoy. The only way to get pre?
pared for thc great troubles of life is to
conquer these small troubles.
And I have to tell you, 0 Christian men.
if you cannot apply the principles of
Christ's religion on a small scale you will
never be able to apply them on a large
peale. If you cannot contend successfully
against these small sorrows that come
down single handed, what will you do
when the greater disasters of life come
down with thundering artillery, rolling
over your soul ?
Again, Ave must bring thc religion of
Christ into our commonest blessings. When
the autumn comes and the harvests are in
and the governors make proclamations, we
assemble in churches and we are very
thankful. But every day ought to be a
thanksgiving day. We do not recognize
the common mercies of life. We have to
see a blind tran led by his dog before we
begin to bethink ourselves of what a grand
thing it is to have undimmed eyesight.
We have to see some wounded man hob?
bling on his crutch or with his empty coat
sleeve pinned up before we learn to think
what a grand thing God did for us when He
gave us healthy use of our limbs. Wo are
so stupid that nothing but the misfortunes
of others can rouse US up to our blessings.
A.. the ox grazes in the pasture up to its
eye in clover, yet never thinking who
makes the clover, and as the bird picks up
the worm from the furrow, not knowing
that it is God who makes everything from
the animalcule in the sod to the seraph on
tlie throne, so we go on eating, drinking
and enjoying, but never thanking, or sel?
dom thanking, or, if thanking at all, with
only half a heart.
I compared our indifference to the brute,
but pe.-haps 1 wronged the brute. I do not
know but that, among its other instincts,
it may have an instinct by which it recog?
nizes thc divine hand that feeds it. I clo
not know but that God is, through it,
holding communication with what we call
"irrational creation." The cow that stands
under the willow by the watercourse chew?
ing its cud looks very thankful, and who
can tell how mite lt a bird means by it3
song? The aronui of the flowers smells like
incense, and the mist arising from the river
looks like the smoke of a morning sacrifice.
Oh, that WO were as responsive! Yet who
thanks God for the water that gushes up
in the well, and that foams in the cascade,
and that laughs over the rocks, and that
natters in the shower*, and that claps its
hands in the sea? Who thanks God for
the air, the fountain of life, the bridge of
sunbeams, the path of sound, the great fan
on a hot summer's day? Who thanks God
for this wonderful physical organism, this
sweep of the vision, this chime of harmony
struck into the ear, this soft tread of a
myriad delights over the nervous tissue,
this rolling of the crimson tide through ar?
tery and vein, this drumming of the heart
on our march to immortality? We take all
these things as a matter of course.
Rut suppose God should withdraw these
common blessings! Your body would be?
come an inquisition of torture, t.he cloud
would refuse rain, every green thing would
crumple up, nnd the earth would crack
open under your feet. The air would cease
its healthful circulation, pestilence would
swoop, and every house would become a
place of skulls. Streams would first swim
with vermin and then dry up, and thirst
and hunger and anguish and despair would
lift their sceptres. Oh, compare such a life
as that with the life you live with your
families! Is it not time that, with every
action of your lifo we began to acknowl?
edge these everyday mercies? "Whether
ye cat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all
to the glory of God." Do I address a man
or a woman wh > lias not rendered to God
one single offering of thanks?
I was preaching one Thanksgiving Day
and announced my text?"Oh, give thanks
unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mer?
cy endureth forever." I do not know
whether there waa any blessing on the ser?
mon or not, but the text went straight to
a young man's heart. He said to himself
as I read the text: " 'Oh. give thanks unto
the Lord, for He is good'? Why. I have
never rendered Him any thanks! Oh, what
an ingrate I have been!" Can it be, my
brother, that you have been fed by the
flood hand of God all these days, that?you
have had clothing and sheller and all the
never offered your heart to God? Oh, let
beneficient surroundings, and yet have
a sense of the divine goodness shown you
in everyday blessings melt your heart, and
if you have never before uttered one car
nest note of thanksgiving let this be the
day which shall hear you sing! What I
say to one I say to all. Take this prac?
tical religion I have recommended into
your everyday life. Make every day a
Sabbath and every meal a sacrament and
every room you enter a holy of holies. Wc
all have work to do; let us bc willing to do
it. We all have sorrows to bear; let us
cheerfully bear-them. We all have battles
to fight; let us courageously fight them. If
you want to die right, you must live right.
Negligence and indolence will win the hiss
bf everlasting scorn, while faithfulness will
gather its garlands and uuivc its sceptre
and sit upon its thron^Pong after thia
earth has put on ashes and eternal ages
have begun their march. You go home to?
day and attend to your little sphere of du?
ties. I will go home and attend to my lit?
tle sphere of duties. Every one in his own
place. So our every step in life shall be a
triumphal march, and the humblest foot?
stool on which we are called to sit will be
. conqueror's throne.

Historic Roanoke Island.
The historic spot where the first
English-speaking people Winded within
the boundaries of the United States is
Roanoke Island, N. C., and the date
was 15S4. The people who settled
there had been sent over by Sir Walter
Raleigh, and they wrote such glow
ing letters home and made such at?
tractive maps that in 15S5 and 1587 the
colony largely increased. It was at
Roanoke Island in 1587 that Virginia
Dare, the first Anglo-American, as
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
calls her, was born. She ought to
have a monument, says Mr. Simmons,
and he wants congress to appropriate
$25,000 for this purpose. Besides this,
he has introduced a resolution asking
congress to appropriate $50,000 to aid
the North Carolina people in an expo?
sition which is to be held next July
and August in celebration of the land?
ing on Roanoke Island. At this ex?
position there is to be a remarkable
display of ancient manuscripts, maps,
relics, curios, etc., which will illus?
trate an almost forgotten chapter in
American history.

Delicately formed and gently reared, women will
find, in all the seasons of (heir lives, as maids or wives
or mothers, that thc one simple, wholesome remedy
wliich acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, aud
which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under
any conditions,when the system needs a laxative?is?
Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple com?
bination of the laxative und carminative principles of
plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable
to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired.
Many of tho ills from which women Buffer are of
. transient nature and do not come from any organic
trouble aud it is pleasant to know that they yield so
promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs,
but when anything more than a laxative is needed it
is best to consult the family physician and to avoid
the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos?
trums of tlie present day. When ono needs only to
remove the strain, tho torpor, tlie congestion, or
similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi?
tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy
Syrup of Figs?and eqjoy freedom from the depres?
sion, the aches and pains, colds aud headaches, which
are due to inactivity of tho bowels.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs
can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar?
antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name
of the company?California Fig Syrup Co.?is
printed on thc front of every package and without
it any preparation offered as Syrup of Fig3 is fraud?
ulent and should be declined. To those who know the
quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any
substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is
always resented by a transfer of patronage to some
first-class drug establishment, where they do not
recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation
remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all
reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle.
