THE BATTLE OF LIFE WORDS OF CHEER FOR WOMEN WHO WORK. T»r. Talmi>r« PrcachM From th» Text, “Kvery W'lw Woman Buildeth Her Hoinrn" Honert Independence Better Thun Tncongeni»l .Matrimonial Bond*. (Copyright. 1858, by American Press Asso cfatlon. j Washington, .Tan. 16.—This wrinon of Dr. Talmage is a great encouragement to women who have to earn their own living, aa well as to all toilers with hand or brain; text. Proverbs xiv, 1, "Every wise worn on buildeth her house.” Woman a mere adjunct to man, an ap jicndix to the masculine volume, an ap pendage. a sort of afterthought, something thrown in to make things even—that is the heresy entertained and implied by tome mon. This Is evident tx» thorn l>e cause Adam was first created and then Eve. They don’t rend the whole story, or they would find that the porpoise and the bear and the hawk wore created before Adam, no that his argument, drawn from priority of cr.-.'Ulon, might prove that the sheep and the dog wer greater than man. No. Woman was an independent creation and was intended. If she chose, to live alone, to work alone, act alone, think alone and fight h r battles alone. The Bi ble says it Is not good for man to bo alone, but never says it is not good tor woman to b« alone, and the simple fact is that many women who aro harnessed for life In the marriago relation would tie a thousand fold better off if they were alone. Unfortunute Wives. Who aro these men wl.o year after year hang around hot< is and engine bouses and theater doors, and come In and out to bother butty clerks mid merchants and mechanics, doing nothing, when there is plenty to do? They are men supported by their wives am! mothers. If the statistics of any of our citii s could be taken on this subject, you would find that a vast mul titude of women not only support fhem selveH, hut masculines. A great legion of men amount to nothing, and a woman by marriage manacled to one of these nonen tities needs condolence. A woman stand ing outside tlm marriage relation is sev eral hundred thomond times Ixjtter off than a woman l> Jy married. Many a bride instead of a wreath of orange blos soms might more properly wear a bunch <>f nettles and nightshade, and Instead of the wedding march a more appropriate tune would bo the dead inarch in “Saul,” and instead us n banquet of confectionery and ices there might lie more appropriate ly spread a table covered with apples of Sodom. Many an attractive woman of good sound sense in other things has married one of the.su men to reform him. What was the r< sulf? Like when a dove, no ticing that a vulture was rapacious and cruel, set about to reform it, and said, *‘l haven mild disposition and I like peace and was brought up in the quiet of a dove cot, and I will bring the vulture to the same liking by marrying him.” So one day, aft? r the vulture declared ho would give up Ids carnivorous habits and cease longing for blood of flock and herd, at an altar of rock covered with- moss and lichen, the twain were married, a bald headed i agio-officiating, tho vulture say ing, “With ail my dominion of earth and sky I then endow and promise to love and cherish till death d > u.i part.” But one day tho dovo in her fright saw tho vul ture busy nt a carcass and cried: ‘‘Stop that,! Did you not promise me that you would quit your carnivorous and filthy habits If I married you?” “Yes,” said the vulture, “but if you don’t like my way you can louse,” ami with one angry stroke <>f tho beak and another fierce clutch of tho claw tho vulture 1. it the dove eyeless and windless and lifeless. And a flock of robins flying past cried to each other and said: ‘‘Seo there! 'Flint comes from a dovo marrying a vulture to reform him!” Many a woman who lias had tho hand of a young Inebriate offered, but declined it, or who was asked to chain her life to a man selfish or of bad temper and I'ofueed the shackles, will bless God throughout; all eternity that iho escaped that earthly pandemonium. Decreed to Celibacy. Betides nil tills, in our country about 1,fM)0,» 'o men were sacrificed m our civil war, and that decreed 1,000,000 women to celibacy. Besides that, since tho war sev pral armies of men as largo as tho Federal nml Confederate armies put together have fallen under malt, liquors and distilled spirits, so full of poisoned ingredients that the work was done more rapidly, and tho victims fell while yet young. And if 50,- 000 men aro destroyed every year by strong drink before marriage that, makes in the 83 years since the war 1.G50.000 men slain and deeret'H 1,050.<100 women to celibacy. Take, then, the fact that so tunny women aro unhappy in their marriage, and tho fact that tho slaughter of 2.550,000 men by war and rum combined decides that at least that number of women shall be un - for life, my text comes in with a cheer ant! a potency nnd appropriateness that you may never have seen in it before when it says, ‘‘Every wise woman build eth her bouse”—that is, let woman be her own architect, lay out her own plans, be her own supervisor, achieve her own des tiny. In addressing those women who have to fight tho buttle alone, 1 congratulate you on your happy escape. Rejoice forever that you will not have to navigate the faults of tho other sex when you havp faults enough of your own. Think of the bereavements you avoid, of the risks of unassiniHated temper which you will not Jiave to run, of the cares you will never have to carry and of the opportunity of outside usefulness from which marital fife would have partially debarred you, and that you aro free to go and come as one who has the responsibilities of a household pan seldom be. God hits not. given you a hard lot as compared with, your sisters. When ydupg women shall make up their minds at thA start that masculint l compan ionship is not a in order to hap piness, and that there is a strong proba bility that they will have to fight thg bat, tie of life alone, they will be gelling the timber ready for their own fortune and their saw and nx and plane sharpened for Its construction, since "every wise woman buildeth her house. ” Should Learn Self Support. As no boy ought to be brought up with out learning some business at which he could earn a livelihood, so no girl ought to be brought up without learning the sci ence of self support. The difficulty is that many a family goes sailing on the high tides of success and the husband and fa ther depends on his own health and acu men for the welfare of his household. But one day ho gets his feet wet, and in three day.s pneumonia lias closed bis life, and the daughters arc turned out on a cold world to earn bread, and there is nothing practical that they can do. The friends come in and hold consultation. ‘‘Give music lessons," says an outsider. Yes, that is a useful calling, and if you have great genius tor it go on in that direction. But there are enough music teachers now starving to death in all our towns and cities to occupy all the piano stools and sofas and chairs nnd front door steps of the city. Besides that, the daughter has been playing only for amusement and is only at the foot of the ladder, to the top of which a great multitude of masters on piano and harp and Hute and organ have climbed. “Put the bereft daughters ns sales worn - en in t’ ( stores,” says another adviser. But there they must comjx to with sales men of long experience or with men who have served an apprenticeship in commerce and who began as shopboys at 10 years of age. Some kind hearted dry goods man, having known the father, now gone, says, “We are not in need of any more help just now, but send your daughters to my store and I will do as well by them as possible. ” Very soon the question comes up. Why do not the female employees of that establish ment get as much wages as the mala em ployees? For the simple reason in many cases the females were suddenly flung by misfortune behind that counter, while the males have from the day they left the pub lic school been learning the business. How is this evil to be cured? Start clear back in the homestead and teach your daughters that life is an earnest thing, and that there is a possibHity, if not a Strong probability, that they wHi_ have to fight thw battle <h i)i« alone Let every father and mother uy to their daughter*. “Now, what would you do for a livelihood if what I now own were swept away by financial disaster or old age or death should end my career?” “Well, I could paint on pottery and do «nch decorative work.” Yes, that Is beau tiful. and if you have genius for it go on in that direction But there are enough busy at that now to make a line of hard- long as yon Pennsylvania avenue. “Well, I could make recitations in pub lic and earn my living as a dramatist; I jould render ‘ King Lear’ or ‘Macbeth* till your hair would rise on end, or give you Sheridan’s Ride’ or Dickens’ ‘Pick wick.’ ” Yos, that is a beautiful art, but aver and anon, as now, there is an epidem ic of dramatization that makes hundreds of households nervous with the cries and shrieks and groans of young tragediennes dying in the fifth act, and the trouble is that while your frienßs would like to hear you and really think that you could sur pass Ristori and Charlotte Cushman and Fanny Kemble of the p.ist, to say nothing of the present, you could not, in the way of living, in ten years earn 10 cents. My advice to all girls and ail unmarried women, whether in affluent homes or in homes where most stringent economies are grinding, is to learn to do some kind of work that the world must have while the world stands. lam glad to see a mar velous change for the better and that wom en have found out that there are hundreds of practical things that a woman can do for a living if she begins soon enough and that men have beta compelled to admit it. You and I can remember when the ma jority of occupations were thought inap propriate for women, but our civil war came, and the hosts of men went forth from north and south, nnd to conduct the business of our cities during the patriotic absence women were demanded by the tens of. thousands to take the vacant places, and multitudes of women, who had been hitherto supported by fathers an 1 brothers and sons, were compelled from that time to take care of themselves. From that time a mighty change took place favorable to female employment. Appropriate Occupations. Among the occupations appropriate for woman I place the following, into many of which she has already entered and all the others she will enter: Stenography, and you may find her at nearly ail the re portorial stands in our educational, polit ical and religious meetings. Savings banks, the work clean and honorable, and who so great a right to toil thpre, for a woman founded the first savings bank—• Mrs. Priscilla Wakefield? Copyists, and there is hardly a professional man that does not need the service of her penman ship, find as amanuensis many of tho greatest books of our day have been dic tated for her writing. There they are as florists and confectioners and music teach ers and bookkeepers, for which they are specially qualified by patience ami accu racy, and wood engraving, in which the Cooper institute has turned cut so many qualified, and telegraphy, for which she is specially prepared, as thousands of the telegraphic offices will testify. Photog raphy, and in nearly all our establish ments they tn iy lie found there at cheer ful work. As workers in ivory and gutta pcrcha and gum clastic and tortoise shell and gilding, and in chemicals, in porce lain, in terracotta. As postmistresses, and presidents have given them appoint ments all over the land. As proofreaders, as translators, as mod elers, as designers, as draftswomen, as lithographers, ns teachers in schools and seminaries, for which they aro especially endowed, the first teacher of every child by divine arrangement being a woman. As physicians, having graduated alter a regular course of study from the female colleges of our large cities, where they get as scientific and thorough preparation as any doctors ever had and go forth to a work which no one but women could so appropriately and delicately do. On tho lecturing platform, for you know the bril liant success of Mrs. Livermore and Mrs. Hallowell and Miss Willard and Mrs. Lathrop. As physiological lecturers to their own sex, for which service there is a demand appalling and terrific. As preach ers of the gi spel, and all the protests of ecclesiastical courts cannot hinder them, for they have a pat hos and a power in their religious utterances that men can never reach. Witness all those who have heard their mother pray. Oh, ytung women of America, as many of you will have to fight your own battles alone, do not wait until you aro flung of disaster and your father is dead and all the resources of your family have been scattered, but now, while in a good house and environed by all prosperities, learn how to do some kind of work that the world must have as long as the world stands. Turn your attention from the em broidery of fine slippers, of which there is a surplus, and make a useful shoe. Ex pend tho time in which you adorn a cigar case in learning how to make a good, hon est loaf of bread. Turn your attention trom the making of flimsy nothings to the manufacturing of important somethings. practical Education. Much of the fiino spent in young ladies’ seminaries in studying what are called the “higher branches” might better be ex pended in teaching them something by which they could support themselves. If you going to bo teachers, or if you have so much assure}] wealth that you can always dwell in those high regions, trigonometry of course, metaphysics of course. Latin a>;d Greek and German and French, and Italian of course, and a bun drod ot her things of course, but if you are no expecting to teach, and your wealth is not established beyond misfortune, after you have leavi id the ordinary branches take hold of th it kind of study that will pay in dollars nnd cents in case you are thrown on your own resources. Learn to do something hotter than anybody else. “Ah. no!” says some ymtng woman. “I will not undertake anything so unroman tic and commonplace as that.” An excel lent author writes that alter he had, in a book, argpod for efficiency in womanly work in order to sccc. s*,- tmd positive ap prenticeship byway of preparation, a prominent chemist advertised that he would teach a class of women to become druggists and apothecaries if they would go through up .apprenticeship as men do, find a printer advertised that he would take a ciass of women to learn the printer’s trade if they would go through an appren ticeship as men do, and how many, ac cording to the account of the author, do you suppose applied to become skilled in the druggist business and printing busi ness? Not one! “But,” you ask, “what would my father and mother say if they saw I was doing such unfashionable work?” Throw the whole responsibility ujKin us, the pastors, who aro constantly hearing of young women in all these cities who, unqualified by their previous luxurious surroundings for the awful struggle of life into which they have been suddenly hurled, seemed to have nothing left them but a choice be tween starvation and damnation. There they go along the street 7 o’clock in the wintry mornings through tho slush end storm to the place where they shall earn only half enough for subsistence, the daugh ters of once prosperous merchants, law yers. clergyfflen. artists, bankers and cap italists. who brought up their children under the infernal delusion that it was not high tone for women to learn a profitable calling. Young wolnen. take this affair in your own hand and let there be an in surrection in all prosperous families on the part of the daughters of this day, demand Ing knowledge in occupations and styles as business by which they may be their own defense and their own support if all fatherly and husbandly nnd brotherly hands forever fall them. I have seen two sad sights, the one a woman in ail the glory o< her young life, stricken by dis ease, and in a week lifeless in a home of which she had been the pride. As her hands were folded ever the still heart and her eyes closed for the last slumber and she was tfiken out amid the lamentations of kindred and friends I thought that was a sadness immeasurable. But 1 have seen something compared with which that scene was bright and songful. It was a young woman who had been all her days amid wealthy syftouadlngs F>y tLe visit- of dwvtl] and bankruptcy U the EauseLold turned out on a cold world without one lesson about how to get food or shelter and into the awful whirlpool of city lifer where strong ships have gone down, and for 20 years not one word has been beard from her.

But who shall over bring again into the harbor of peace and hope and heaven,that lost womanly immortal, driven in what tempest, aflame in what conflagration, sinking into what abyss? O God, help! O Christ, rescue! My sisters, give not your time to learning fancy work which tho world may dispense with in hard times, but connect yiour skill with the indispensables of life. Bodily Necessities. The world will always want something to wear and something to eat, and shelter and fuel for tho body, and knowledge for the mind and religion for tho soul. And all these things will continue to be tho necessaries, and if you fasten your ener gies upon occupations and professions thus related, the world will be unable to do without you. Remember, that in propor tion as you aro skillful in anything your rivalries become less. For unskilled toil there aro women by the millions. But you may rise to where there are only thousands, and still higher till there are only 100, and still higher till there are only 10, and still higher, in some particular depart ment till there is only a unit, and that yourself. For awhile you may keep wages and a place through the kindly sympathy of an employer, but you will eventually get no more compensation than you can make yourself worth. Let me say to all women who have al ready entered upon the battle of life that the time is coming when women shall not only get as much salary and wages as men get, but for certain styles of employment women will have higher salary and more wages, for the reason tha't for some styles of work they have more adaptation. But this justice will come to woman not through any sentiment of gallantry, not because woman is physically weaker than man, and therefore ought to have more consideration shown her, but because through her finer natural taste and more grace of manner and quicker perception and more delicate touch and more educated adroitness she will, ip certain callings, be to her employer worth ]0 per cent more or 80 per cent more than the other sex. She will not get it by asking for it, but by earning it, and it shall bo hers by lawful conquest. Now, men o? America, be fair and give the women a chance. Are you afraid that they will do some of your work and hence harm your prosperities? Remember that there are scores of thousands of men do ing women’s work. Do not be afraid. God knows the end from the beginning, and ho knows how many people this world can feed and shelter, and when it gets too full he will end the world, and if need be start another. God will halt the inventive faculty, which, by producing a machine that will do the work of 10 or 20 or 100 men and women, will leave that number of people without work. I hope that there will p®t be invented another sewing ma chine, or reaping machine, nr corn thrash er, or any other new machine for the next &Q 0 years. We want no more wooden hands and iron hands and Steel hands and electric hands substituted for men and Women who would otherwise do the work and get the pay and earn the livelihood. iiuccessful Women. But God will arrange all, and all we have to do is to do our best and trust him for the rest. Let me cheer ail women fighting the battle of life alone with the fact of thousands of wonien who have won the day. Mary Lyon, founder <rf Mount Holyoke Female seminary, fought the battle alone; Adelaide Newton, the tract distributor, alone; Fidelia Fisk,, the con secrated missinparj-, alone; Dorothea Dis, the angel of the insane asylums, alone; Caroline Herschel, the Indispensable re enforcement of her brother, alone; Marla Takrzewska, the heroine of the Berlin hospital, alone; Helen Chalmers, patron pf the sewing schools for the poor of Edin burgh, alond And thousands and tens of thousands of women, of whose bravery and self sacrifice and glory of character the world has made no record, but whose deeds are in the heavenly archives of martyrs who fought the battle alone, and though Unrecognized for the short 30 or 50 or 80 years of their earthly existence shall through the quintillion ages of the higher world be pointed out with tho admiring cry, “These arc they who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the bloqd of the Lamb.” Let mo also say, for the encouragement pf all women fighting the battle of life alone, that their conflict will soon end. There is one wort! written over the faces of many of them, and that word is despair. My sister, you need appeal to Christ, who comforted the sisters of Bethany in their domestic trouble? and who in his last hours forgot all the pangs of his own hands and feet and heart as ho looked Into the face of maternal anguish and called a friend's attention to it, in sub stance saying: “John, I cannot take care of her any longer. Do for her as I would have done if I had lived. Behold thy mother!” If, under the pressure of unre warded and unappreciated work, yoar hair is whitening and the wrinkles come, rejoice that you are nearing the hour of escape from your very last fatigue, and may your departure be as pleasant as that of Isabella Graham, who closed her life with a smile .and the word “peace.” The daughter of a regiment in any army is all surrounded by bayonets of defense, and in the battle, whoever falls, she is kept safe. And you are the daughter of the regiment commanded by the Lord of Hosts. After all, you are not fighting the battle of life alone. All heaven is on your side. You wiR be wise to appropriate to yourself the words of rhyth*m: une has known in storms to sail J have on board. Above tho roaring of the gate 1 hear my Lord. He holds me. When the billows smite, I shall not fall. If short, his sharp; if long, ’tis light. He tempers all. MACON NEWSyiONDAY EVENING, JANUARY x? 1898.
