Wa-hixgtox, March 29. This discourse
of Dr. Tahangj draws from an oriental
scene foiiiri stirring lessons and points to
wells of comfort in unexpected places;
text, Gtneah xxi. 19, “And God opened
her eyes, and she saw a well of water, pnd
she went and filled the bottle with water
and gave the lad drink."
Morning breaks upon Beersheba. There
is an ri.rly stir in the house of old Abra-
• ~n. TL<-n T.«-n trouble among the
<1 iih -t;..-. Hagar, an as. istant in the
ho* • -ebold, and her Son, a brisk lad of 16
y, a: have L* oxnc iii.pndmt and inso
lent, and Siir.ib, the mistressof the house
hold, puts l;< r foot down wry hard and
srtj th i' they will hove to leave the prein-
They uro pig-king up now. Abra
ham, knowing that the journey before his
servant and her son will be very long
t|.-, <;!at<- places, in kindnow of
hi - heart -<?lh about putting upscale bread
and a It- ttl*- with water in it. It is a very
inn h that Al t;.ham provid* s, but I
w ; - i.t you there would have been enough
•it it had they not lost their way. “God
bi- ’ itii you,” said old Abraham as he
-i- :».« bin* li to Hagar anti a goc>d many
• ;-nrg* t as to how she should conduct the
.o'jrnty. Ishmael, th® boy, 1 suppose,
Ik,in.di d nwuy in th viuorning light. Hoys
.lways like n change. Poor Ishmael! He
has no idea of the disasters that ant ahead
-,f him. ll tgnr givts on** long, lingering
look on the familiar place where she had
pent so many happy days, t ach scene as
s<,-< kited with tho pride and joy of her
heart, young Ishmael.
Th*- orehing neon comes on. Tho air
■ ilflir ami ir.ovt s :>* n.sn the desert with
iti-.ilfeiablo suffocation. Ishmael, the
boy, begin;-; to complain and lies down,
■mi H e.ar rouses him up, saying nothing
about, her own weariness or the sweltering
heat ; for mothers can cndlue anything.
Trudge, tiudge, trudge. Crossing the
•’le ad level of the desert, how wearily and
! ly the mib s slip! A tamarind that
sc* i 'i toms to stand only just a lit
t ,i!ii ;d, inviting the travelers to come
me r • shadow, now is as far oil as over
-r s( eiuingiy so. Night drops upon the
dc-rt, and t; • tiavelers are pillowless.
1 liinr.el, vexy v-'iiry, I suppose instantly
toll-; ; bt p. liagur, ns the shadows of the
night ! gin t<> lap over each ether—Ungar
bugs her weary boy to her bosom and
thinks of tho fact that it is her fault that
tie ;> .ire in the desert. A star looks out,
inti every falling tear it kisses with a
-pi. kle. A wing of wind comes over the
Lot earth and lifts the locks from the
fevered brow of the boy. Hagar sleeps fit
fully, and iti her breams travels over the
wi-ary day and half awakes her eon by cry
ng out. iti het sleep: “Ishmael! Ishmael!”
Wi Must Find Our Sphere.
A'ral so they go on day after day and
■ light alter night, for they have lust their
vny N<- path in the shifting sands; no
.ign in th" burning sky. Tho sack empty
if the Four; tlie water gone from the bot
. le. V> );at .- hall she do? As she puts her
dnt i: ;; Ishmael under a stunted shrub of
he arid plain she sees the bloodshot eye
Hid,feels the hot hand and watches the
bicoti bursting from the cracked tongue,
ind there is a shriek in the desert of Beer
hcL.i: “We shall died Wo shall die!”
Xow, no mother was ever made strong
nongh to hear her son cry in vain for a
drink. Heretofore she had cheered her
>y l>y promising a speedy end of the jour
ney, and oven smiled upon him when she
felt de-i <-rati Jy enough. Now there is
nothing to do hut place him under a shrub
and let him die. She had thought ’that
die would sit there and*watch until the
i irit of her boy would go away forever,
and ti.e-i she would breathe out her own
;;fe on his silent heart, but as the boy be
gins to claw his tongue iu agony of thirst
and struggle in distortion and begs his
mother to slay him she cannot endure the
: pectacle. She puts him under a shrub
.ml goes off a bow shot, and begins to
weep until all the desert seems sobbing,
and her cry strikes clear through tho heav
ns, and an angel of tied comes out on a
■loud and looks de,vs n upon the appalling
grief and cries, “Hagar, whnfcaileth thee?’’
She looks up and she sees the angel point
ing to a well of water, where she fills the
lottie lev the lad. Thank God! Thank
God!
I learn from this oriental scene, in tho
lir:-t *id::i’e, what a sad thing it is when
people do not know their place and get too
proud for their business. Hagar was an
.: distant in that household, but she want
ed to rule there. She ridiculed and jeered
anti! her son, Ishmael, got the same tricks.
'•lie dashed out her own happiness and
threw Sarah’ into a great fret, and if she
had staid much longer in that household
she would have upset calm Abraham’s
• quilibriuni. Idy friends, one-half of the
trouble in tho world today comes from the
fact that people do not know their place
or, finding their phtep, will not stay in ij;.
When we come into the world, there is al
ways a place ready for us. A place for
Xbrahnm. A place for Sarah. A place for
Hagar. A place for Ishmael. A place for
you and a place for me.
Our first duty is to find our sphere; our
second is to keep it. Wo may be born In
i ; pl'.ere far off from tho one for which
‘-•>d iipallv it.tends us. Sixtus V was born
on the low ground and was a swineherd,
t.-.d called him up to wave a scepter.
Ferguson spent his early daya in looking
after sheep. GotJ, called him up to look
after stars and boa shepherd watching thp
lioeks of light on the hillsides of heaven.
JLigarth began by engraving pewter pots.
God raised him to stand in the enchanted
realm of a painter. The shoemaker’s bench
held Bloomfield for a little while, but God
ri-dscd him to sit In the chair of a philoso
pher and Christian scholar. Tho soap
boiler of London could not keep his son in
that business, for God had decided that-
Hawley v as to be one of the greatest as
tronomers of England.
Lat'OT Is Honorable.
On the other hand we may bo born in <t
sphere a little higher than that for which
God intends us. We may be born in a
castle, and play in a costly conservatory,
and feed high bred pointers, and angle for
goldfish In artificial ponds, and be familiar
with princes, yet God may better have fit
ted us for a carpenter’s shop, or dentist’s
forceps, or a weaver’s shuttle, or a black
-mith’s forge. The great thing is to find
just the sphere for which God intended us
and then to occupy that sphere and occupy
it forever. Here is a man God fashioned
to make a plow. There is a man God fash
ioned to make a constitution. The man
who makes the plow is just as honorable
is the man who makes the constitution.
There is a woman who was made to fash
ion a robe, and yonder is one intended to
be a queen and wear it. It seems to ms
that in the one case as in the ether God
appoints the sphere, and the needle is just
as respectable in his sight as the scepter.
I do not know but that the world would
long ago have Veen saved if some of the
n?n out of tbe ministry were in it and
some of those who are in it were out of it.
I really think that one-half the world may
I:-, divided into two quarters—those who
have n w found their sphere and those who,
having found it, are not willing to stay
there.. How many are struggling for a
position a little higher than that which
Cod intended them! The bendswoman
wants to bo mistress. Hagar keeps crowd
ing Sarah. The small wheel of a watch
which beautifully went treading its golden
pathway warns to be the balance wheel,
ayd the sparrow with chagrin drops into
the brook because it canned, like the eagle,
cut a circle under the sun.
Joy of Contentmeut.
In the laird’s army wo all want to bo
brigadier generals! The sloop says: “ More
mast, more tonnage, more canvas. Oh,
that I were a topsail schooner, or a full
rigged brig, c-r a Cunard steamer!” And
so the world is filled with cries of -discon
tent because we are not willing to stay in
the place where God put us and intended
us to be. My friends, be not too proud to
do anything God tells you to do; for the
lack of a right disposition in this respect
tbe.world is strewn with wandering Ha-
gan; and Jshmaels. God has given each
one of us a work to do. You carry a scut
tle of coal tip that dark alley. You dis
tribute that Christian tract. You give
Flu.tMM! to the missionary cause. You for
15 year- sit with chronic rheumatism, dis
playing tho beauty °f Christian submis
sion. Whatever God calls you to, whether
I it win hissing or huzza; whether to walk
i under triumphal arch or lift the sot out of
I the ditch; whether it be to" preach on a
. Pentecost or tell some wanderer of the
street of the mercy of the Christ of Mary
; Magdelene; whether it Ixs to weave a gar
land for a laughing child on n spring morn
ing and coll her a May queen, or to comb
■ out the tangled locks of a waif of the
street and cut up one of your old dresses
to fit her out for the sanctuary—do it, and
I de it right away. Whether it he a crow n
or yoke, do not fidget. Everlasting hon-
■ ors upon those vho do their work, and do
’ thpr whole wot and are contented in the
' sphere in which God has put them, while
i there is wandering and exile and desola
i ti*.-n and wilderness for discontented Ila-
I gar arid Ishmael.
Again, I find in this oriental scene a
; lesson of sympathy with woman when she
goes forth trudging in the desert. What a
| great change it was for this Hagar! There
j was the tent, and all the surroundings of
, Abraham’s housj, beautiful and luxuri
i ous, no doubt. Now she is going out
into the hot sands of the desert. Ch, what
a change it was! And in our day we often
seethe: whe*:! of fortune turn. Here is
some one who lived in the very bright
home of her father. She had everything
possible to administer to her happiness—
! plenty at the table, music in the drawing
i room, welcome at Lhe door. She is led
forth into life by some one who cannot ap
; proc-lato her. A dissiphted soul comes and
takes her out in the desert. Cruelties blot
| out all the lights of that home circle,
j Harsh words wear out her spirits. The
! high-hope that shone out over the mar
i riage altar while the ring was being set,
and the vows, given, and the benediction
■ pronouncixl, have all faded with the orange
; blossoms, and there she is today broken
hearted, thinking of past joys and present
1 desolatioji and coming anguish. Hagar
in the wilderness!
Woman’s Responsibilities.
Here is a beautiful homo. You cannot
think of anything that can be added to it
For years there has not been the sugges
tion of a single trouble. Brightand happy
children fill the house with laughter and
song. Books to read. Pictures to look at.
Lounges to rest on. Cup of domestic joy
full and running over. Dark night drops.
Pillow hot. Pulses flutter. Eyes close.
And the foot whose well known stepson
the doorsill brought the whole household
out at eventide crying, “Father’s com
ing!” will never sound on the doorsiil
again. A long, deep grief plowed through
all that brightness of domestic life. Para
diso Jost. Widowhood. Hagar in the wil
derness !
How often is it we see the weak arm of
woman conscripted for this battle with
the rough world. Who is she going dow n
the street in the early light qf the morn
ing, pale with exhausting work, not half
slept out with the slumbers of last night,
tragedies of suffering written all over her
face, her lusterless eyes looking far ahead,
as though for the coming of some other
trouble’? Her parents called ler Mary or
Hertha or Agnes on the day when they
held her up to ike font and the Christian
minister sprinkled on the infant’s face the
washings of a holy baptism. Her name is
changed now. 1 bear it in the shuffle of
’the woraout shoes. I see it in the figure
of the failed calico. I find it in the linea
ments of the woe begone countenance. Not
Mary nor Bertha nor Agnes, but Hagar in
(he wilderness. May God have mercy upon
woman in her toils, her struggles, her
hardships, her desolation, and may the
great heart of divine sympathy inclose her
forever!
Again, I find in this oriental scene the
fact that every mother leads forth tremen
dous destinies.
You ;-,ny, “That isn’t an unusual scene,
a mother leading her child by the hand. ”
Who is it that she is leading*? Ishmael,
you say. Who is IshmaeD A great nation
is to bo founded—a nation so strong that
it is to stand for thousands of years against
all the armies of the world. Egypt and
Assyria thunder against it, but in vain.
Gaulus brings up bis army, and ids army
is smitten. Alexander decides upon a
campaign, brings up his hosts and dies.
For a long while that nation monopolizes
the. learning of the world. It is the na
tion of the Arabs. Who founded if? Ish
mael, the lad that IJavr.*’ led into the wil
derness. She had no idea she was leading
forth such destinies. Neither dees any
mother. You pass along thy street and
see and p’ufi boys and girls who will yet
make theearth <iuiike with tlu ir influence
“As the Twig Is Bent.”
Who is that boy at Futton pool, Plym
outh, England, barefooted, wading down
into the slush and slime until his bare
foot comes upon a piece of glass and he
lifts it, bleeding and pain struck’? That
wound in the foot decides that he be soil
entary in his life, decides that .he be a
student. That wound by the glass in tie
foot decides that lie glvrll lie John Kitto,
who shall provide tho best religious ency
clopedia the world has ever bad provided,
and with his other writings as well throw
ing a light upon |bt: word pf God such as
has come from no other limp in this cen
tury. O mother, inother, that little hand
that wanders over your face may yet be
lifted to hurl thunderbolts of war or drop
benedictions! That little voice may blas
pheme God j?i the grogshop oy cry “For
ward!” to tho Lord’s hosts as they go out
for their last victory. My mind this
mornfaig leaps 30 years ahead, and I see a
merchant, prince of New York. One stroke
of his pop brings a ship out of Canton.
Another stroke of his pen brings a ship
1 into Madras. He is mighty in ail the
money markets of the world. Who ia her
5 He sits on Sabbaths Fesido you in church.
! My mind Imps! 80 years forward from this
. time and I find myself jn a iclief asspoia
; tion. A groat multitude of Christian
| women have met together for a generous
purpose. There is one woman in that
; crowd who seems to have thoconfidence qf
: all the others, and they all look up to her
! for her counsel and for her prayers. Who
! fs she? This afternoon you will find her
in tlie Sabbath school, w hile the teacher
1 tells her of that Christ who clofljcd ths,
naked and fed Hie hur-gyv and healed the
sick. My juhid leaps forward 30 years
i from now. and I find myself In an African
■ jungle, and there Is a missionary of the
; cross addressing the natives, and their
■ dusky countenances are irradiated with
the glad tidings of great joy and salvation.
: Who is he? Did you not hear his voice to
day in tho opening song of your chuich
service?
My mind leaps forward 30 years from
, now, and 1 find myself looking through
the wickets of a prison. I see a face scar
red with every crime. His chin on his
! open palm, his elbow on bis knee—a pic
ture of despair. As I open the wicket, he
starts and I hear his chain clank. The
jailkeeper tells me that be has been in
there now three- times —first f< r theft, then
for arson, now for murder, lie steps up-
I on the trapdoor, the rope is fastened to
j bis neck, tho plank falls, his body swings

throne or forging a chain; you are kin

Child Follows Parent-.
A Christian mother a good many years
ago sat-teaching lessons of religion to her
; child, and he drank in those lessons. She
! never knew that Lamphier would come
forth and establish the r uiton street prayer
meeting, and by one meeting revolutionize
the devotions of the whole earth and thrill
tire eternities with his Christian influence.
Lamphier said it was his mother who
brought him to Jesus Christ. She never
1 had an idea that she was leading forth
such destinies. But, oh, when I see a
I mother reckless of her influence', rattling
on toward destruction, garlanded for the
sacrifice with unseemly mix th and godless
i ness, dancing on down to perdition, tak-
I ing her children in the same direction,
preparing them for a life of frivolity, a
death of .shame and an eternity cf disaster,
I cannot help but say, “There they go,
there they go—Hagar and Ishmael!” I
tell you there are w ilder deserts than Beer
! sheba in many of the fashionable circles of
I this day. Dissipated parents leading dis
• sipated children. Avaricious parents lead
; ing avaricious children. Prayerless parents

loading prayer less children. They go
through every street, up every dark alley,
into every cellar, along every highway.
Hagar and Ishmael! And while I pro
nounce their nature, it seems like the
moaning of the desert wind, “Hagar and
Ishmael!” •
1 k arn one more lesson from this orien
tal scene, and that is that every wilderness
has a well in it. Hagar and Ishmael gave
up to die. Hagar's heart sank within her
as she heard her child crying: “Water!
Water! Water!" “Ah,” she says, “my
darling, there is no water! This "is a des
ert.” And then God's angel said from the
cloud, “What ailetb thee. Hagar?” And
she locked up and saw him pointing to a
well of water, where she filled the bottle
for the lad. Blessed be Gcd that there is
in every wilderness a well, if you only
know bow to find it—fountains for all
these thirsty souls! On that last day, on
that gnat day cf tho feast, Jesus stood
and cried, “If any man thirst, let him
come to mu and drink.” All these other
fountains you find are lucre miragesef the
desert. Paracelsus, yon know, spent his
time in trying t<> find out the elixir of life
—a liquid, which, if taken, would keep
one perpetually young in this world ami
would change, the ag< d luick again to
youth. Os course he was disappointed. He
found not the elixir. But here 1 tell you
of the elixir of everlasting life bursting
from the “Rock at Ages, ” and that drink-,
ing that water you shall never get old, and
y*>u will never be sick, and you will never
die. “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come
ye to the waters! Ah, hero is a ipan who
says, “1 Lavi been looking for that foun
tain a great while, but can’t find it.’
And here is someone else who says, “I lie
lieve all you say, but I have been trudging
along in the wilderness and can’t find tbi
fountain.” Do you know tho reason"? 1
will tell you. You never looked in the
right direction. “Oh,” you say, “1 have
looked everywhere. 1 have looked north,
south, east and west, and I haven't fount:
the fountain ’ Why, you are not looking
in the right direction at all.
A Well In Every Desert.
Look up, where Hagar looked. She
never would have found the fountain at
all, hut when she heard tho voice of tin
angel she looked up and she saw the fingt r
pointing t< the supply. And, O soul, if
today with, one earnest, intense prayer you
would only look up to Christ, he would
point you dow n to the supply in the wil
derness. “Look unto me, all ye ends of
the earth, and Le ye saved; for*! am God,
and there is none else!” Look! Look, as
Hagar looked !
Yes, there is a well for every desert of
bereavement.. Locking ovi r any audience
I notice signs cf mourning and woe
Have you found consolation? Oh, man
bereft, oh, womah bereft, have you found
consolation? Hearse after hearse. We
step from one grave hillock to another
gxavc hillock. \ve follow corpses, our
selves soon to be like thefn. Tho world is
in mourning for its dead. Every heart
has become the sepulcher of some buried
joy. But sing ye to Grid ; every wilderness
has a well in it, and I come to that well
today, and I begin to draw water fox' you
from that well.
If you kava lived in the country, you
have sometimes taken hold of the rope of
the old well sweep, and yon know how the
bucket came up, dripping with bright,
cool water. And I lay bold of tho rope of
Gcd s mercy, and I begin to draw on that
gospel well sweep, and I see the buckets
coming up. Thirsty soul! Here is one
bucket of life! Come and drink of it.
‘A; huscever will, let him come and take
Os the water of life freely.” I pull away
again at the rope, and another bucket
comes up. It is this promise: “Weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh in
the morning.” 1 lay hold of the rope
again, and I pull *away with all my
strength, and the bucket comes up, bright
ami beautiful and cool. Here is the prom
ise: “Come unto me, all ye who are weary
and heavy laden, axid I will give you rest.”
A New Astrology.
The old astrologers used to cheat the
people with the idea that they could tell
from the position cf tho stars what would
occur in the future, and if a cluster of
stars stood in one relation, why, that
would be a pxophecy of evil; if a cluster of
stars stood in another relation, that would
boa prophecy of good. What superstition!
But here is a new aetiology in which 1
put all my faith. By looking up to the
star cf Jacob, the morning star of tho Ro
iiCemer, I can make this prophecy in re
paid to those why nut their trust in God:
‘All things work together for good to
those who love God ” Do you love him?
Have you seen the xxyetanthes? It is a
beautiful flower, but it gives very little
fragrance until after sunset. Then it
pours its richness on the air. Ami this
grace cf tho gospel that 1 com mend-to you
now, while it may ho very sweet during
tho day of prosperity, it pours forth its
richest aroma after sundown. And it will
be sundown with you ami mo after awhile
When you como to go out of this world,
will it be a desert march, or will it be
drinking at a fountain?
A converted Hindoo Was dying, and his
heathen conirggea came around him »nd
tried to epnifoj't him by reading some of
the pages of their theology, but ho waved
his band, as much as to say, “I don’t want
to hear it.” Then they called in a heathen
priest, and ho said, “If you will only re
cite the Npmtra, it will uclivei’ you from
hell.” He waved his hand, as much as to
say, “I don’t want to hear that.” Then
they said, “Call on Juggernaut.” He
shook his head, as much as to say, “1
can’t do that.” Then they thought per
haps he was too weary to speak, and they
said, “Now, if you can’t say ‘Juggernaut,’
think of him.” He shook his head again,
as much as to say, “No, no, no!” Then
they bent down to his pillow, and they
said, “In what will you trust?” His face
lighted up with the very glories of the ce
lestial sphere as ho cried out, rallying all
bis dying cm rgies, “Jesus!” Oh, come
this hour to the tountain! I will tell you
the whole story jp t-.vo or three sentences.
Pardon for ail sin. Comfort; for all trou
ble. Light, tor all darkness. And every
wilderness has a well in it.

Rheumatism
It is absolutely impossible to
have Rheumatism if the Blood
is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason so
many thousands fail to get rid
of Rheumatism is because they
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that v.wiy. A
person may’ try a lifetime, but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.
Swift’s
Specific
is the one remedy that will cute
Rheumatism. ft is the only
purely Vegetable Blood Purifier
that the world has ever known.
It drives all acids and impurities
out of the circulation, restores
vital energy, and sends rich,
pure, red Blood through the
veins and arteries.

permanent cure.

Tall, turbulent, tipsy Timothy Tittle
thwaite, the third tired, thirsty Thespian,
“tie” tourist, trudgingly traveling through
the thickly thronged, tortuous thorough
fare toward Tunistown. Tautologically
talking theoretical, theological theses to
tedious, techy, testy Theodore Taylor, try
ing to talk trade topics to taciturn, tru
culent Thomas Trent, the tailor. Tarrying
to the tavern to treat Thomas to toddy.
Timothy toted traffic trifles, trinkets to
trade to tattling, tantalizing, teasing,
tasty, trim Theresa Thigpen, "the Titian
tressed” teacher. Trading to Theresa
toys, tops, tins, tubs, trivets, testaments,
thread, thimble, treacle, tobacco, tacks,
tracts, tomatoes, turnips, tow, tape, tar,
towels. Theresa trading to Timothy tooth
some tarts, tansy tea, turpentine, tallow,
trussed turkeys, turtles, terrapins, tad
poles, truffles, togs, tags, traps, trays,tripe,

thus thought the three travelers. This the
thirtieth time that this terse truism.
“English Paint stops leaks, yes it do,”
has been seen by us. It must be so.
IT IS SO.
English Paint does stop leaks —“YES,
IT DO.
English Paint has one fault, via:
HARVEY ENGLISH, Albany, Ga.
It won’t last forever, but on every roof
that I paint I give a written guarantee
that “if the above named roof leaks or
needs painting at any time within ten
years from date I am to do the work
needed without any expense to the owner
of building.
English Paint —English Guarantee—is
good.
My price is 50c a square of 100 feet,
I have pleased every one of my custom
ers—l can please you. Save your work for
me. I will be in Macon aa soon as I
complete some work now under way in
Albany. I have contracted to paint the
Alliance warehouse. This makes the fifth
cotton warehouse in Albany that I have
naway one acre and Alliance one-half acre.
Cook’s half acre; Hall’s half acre; Gan
naway one acre, and Alliance one acre.
I don’t want you to think that I refuse to
paint .smail roofs. I paint all sizes, sorts
and conditions. I once upon a time paint
ed a roof for 25c and waited sixty
days for my pay. I don’t paint shingle
roofs, but I do paint gutters, valleys, etc.
As I will be very busy on my arrival in
Macon you will please send your address
on a postal to me in Albany and I will
call and see you about your roof. I can fix
it so that it won’t leak and it will stay
fixed.
