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."

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 1 into the air, his soul swings off into ctor i nity. Who is be, and where is he? This 1 afternoon playing kite on the city com mons. Mother, you arc now hoisting a throne or forging a chain; you are kin filing a star e.r digging a dungeon ! 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 MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 21 1898. 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. Mo More 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.

I can fix it so that it won’t leak and it will stay fixed. G. BERND <&, CO Are Leaders In STYLE QUALITY AND PRICE . When in Need of Fine Harness, Saddles, Robes, Blankets.
