tlie text. Job ii, }. • All that a man hatl
will he give for his life ”
1 lint is untrue. Ihe I>ird did not aaj
it, but Satan said it to the Lord when tin
evil one wanted Job still more afflicted
The record is. ‘‘So went satan forth fron
the prcM'ncx; of the laird and smote Jot
With son- lions.” And satao has iieen tin
author of all eruptive disease since then,
and ho hojss by poi lining the blood U
poison the soul. But the result of the di |
abotlcal experiment which left Job victoi i
proved tin- falsity of the satatiic remark,
“All that a man hath will he give for hit ■
life.” Many a captain who has stood on
the bridge of the steamer till his passen
gers got off and he drowned, many an
engineer who has kept his hand on the
throttle valve or bis foot on the brake un
til the most of ttie train was saved while
ho went down to death through tin
npen drawbridge, many a 11 reman wh
plunged into a blazing house to get a
alecplng child out, the firutffan sacrificing
his life in the attempt and the thousands
of martyrs who submitted to fiery stake
nnd knife of massacre and headman's a*
and guillotine rather than surrender prin
tdplo, proving that 4n many a case my tex!
»va» not true when it Hays, "All that a
man hath will he give for his life.’’
But satai;'« falsehood was built on a
truth.. Life is very precious, and if we
would not give up all there are many
filings we would surrender rather that;
surrender it We sec how precious life in
from the- t.w l that we do everything to
prolong it. Hems; al! sanitary regula
tions, all study of hygiene, all fear of
drafts, all waterproofs, all doctors, all
yuodicines, all struggle in crisis or accl
ifdtit. Au admiral of the British navy
was e-'tuL murtiuled (or turning his ship
around in time of danger, and so damag
ing the ship. It was proved against him,
but when his time came to Is- heard hw
fluid; "Gentlemen, 1 did turn the ship
around ami admit that it was damaged,
but, do you want to know why I turned it#
There was a man overboard, nnd 1 wanted
to save him, nnd I did save him, and I
consider the life of one sailor worth al]
the vessels of the British Davy." No won
dor ho was vindicated. Life is Indeed very
precious. Yea, there are those who d<-uli|
life so precious they would like to refloat
it. They would like to try it over again.
They would like to go back from 70 to (50,
from GO to 50, from 50 to 40, from 40 to
R 0 and from 3b to 20 I propose, for very
practical nnd useful purpose-,, ns will up

Would you like to livoyotir Jifeover again?
What Is Buccnm?
The fact is that no intelligent and right
feeling man is satisfied with his past life
However sucre fui jour life may have

has been, you are not »utistied with your

That finding caused I,’tp ancient search
for what was called the fountain of
youth, the waters of which, taken, would
t urn the hair of the octogenarian into tug
curly locks of a Itoy, and, however old a

Spanish explorer, Juan Ponce de Leoti,

fountain of youth he would do its much

America. So he put out- in 1512 from

Bahamas in search of that fountain. 1 am

eutue from the fact that w< have never
been along this road before, and every
thing is new, and wo are alert for what
may appear at the next turn of the road.
Suppose you. a man of midlife or old ago,
were with your present fix-lings nnd large
attainments put ba<-k into the thirties or
the twenties or in the teens, what a nui
san, • you would be to others and what an
unhappmess to yourself! Your eoiitcm

would not wm.t them Things that in
your previous journey of hie stirred jjour
healthful ambition or gave you pleasurable

i Besides that, if you took life over again
you would have to take its deep sadneeseJ

would lie something like mine one No-
I vemtier day In Italy I walked through a
1 great city with a friend and two guides,
s and there were in all the city only four
persons, and they were those of our own
group. We went up and down the streets
We ent<-re«l the hou-cs, the nuifleums, the
temples, the theaters. We examined the
wonderful pictures on the walls and the
most exquisite mosaic on the floor. In
the street - were the deep worn ruts of
wagons, but nova wagon in the city On
j the front steps of mansions the word “Wel
come" in Isttin, but no human being to
; greet us. The only tx-dies of any of the
citizens that we saw yvere petrifiixl and in
the museum at the gates Os the 35,000
js-ople who once lived in those homes and
worshijM-d in those temples and clapped in
those theaters not one left I For I.KOO
years that city of Pomjieii had been buried
Ix-fore modern exploration scooped out. of
it the lava of Vesuvius. Well, lie who
should Ixj permitted to return on the path
way of his earthly life and live it over
again would find as lonely and sad a pil-
■ grimagc. It would be an exploration of
J the dead past. The old schoolhouse, the
old church, the old home, the old play-
I ground, either gone or occupied by others,
and for you more depressing than w<vs our
j Pompeiian visit that Novemlier day.
Besides that, would you want to risk
' the temptations of life over again? From
the fact that you are here 1 conclude that,
' though in many respects your life may
' have beep unfortunate and unconsecratcd,
I you have got. on so far tolerably well, if
I nothing more than tolerable. As for my
j self, though my life has been far from be-
I jpg as conset r..ted to God as I would like
to have bad it, I would not want to try it
over again, lest m,xt t’mo I would do
Why, just look at the temptations we
have all passed through and just look at
tie, multitudes who have gone completely
under! Just pall over the roll of your
i<ohoolnuites nnd college mnb-s, tho clerks
who were with you in the same store pr
bank or the. ojiera-tives in t he same factory
w ith just as good iin.spects as you, who
have come to complete mishap. Some
young man that told you that he was go
ing to boa millionaire, and own the fast
est trotters on the turnpike, and retire by
the time he was 35 years of age, you do
not hear iron) for many years and know
nothing about him until some day ho
comes Into your store and asks for 5 cents
to get a mug of beer.
Another l.ife Might Be Worse.
You. the good mother of a household,
and all your children rising up to call you
blessed, can remember when you were
quite jealous of the belle of the village,
who was s<> I ranscendently fair nnd popu
lar. But while you have these two honor
able and queenly unitieH of wife and moth
er she became a poor waif of the strei-t
and went, into tho blackness of darkness
forever. Live life over again? Why, if
many <;f those who are respectable were
permittud to expej-lment, the next journey
would be demolition. You get through,
ns Job says, by the skin of your teeth.
Next time you might not get through at
j all. Satan would say, ‘‘l know’ him now
better than I did Ix-fore and have for 50
years been studying his weaknesses, and I
will weave a strongi-r web of circum
stances to catch him next timt>. ” And
t,.ian would concentrate his forces on this
ope man, and the lust stale of that man
woulil be worse t han the first- My friends,
our faces are in the right direction. Bet
ter go forward than backward, even if wo
had tin- ehoien. The greatest disaster 1
can think of would be for you to return
to boyhood in 1898. Oh, if life were a
smooth Luzerne or Cayuga lake, I w-ould
like to get into a yacht and sail over it,
not (Once, but twice—yea, a thousand
times. But life ;s an uncertain sea, and
some of the ships crash <.ij the icebergs of
cold indifference, and some take firp of
evil passions, and some lose their bearings
and run into the Goodwill sands, and some
are never heard of. Surely on such a
tre.aeherou* flpft as that one voyage is
enough
Besides all this, do you know, if you
could have your wish and live life over
again it would put you so much further
trom reunion with your friends in heaven?
If yell are in the noon of life, or the even
ing of life, you are not very far from the
golden gate at which you are to meet
your transported and einjJoradised loved
ones. You are now, let us say. 29 years or
ten years or one year off from celestial
conjunction. Now, suppose you went
back in your earthly life 30 years or 40
years or oo years, what an awful post
ponement of thetdmopf reunion! It would
be as though you were going to isur; Fran
cisco so a great banquet, and you got to
Oakland, four or five miles this side of it,
and then came back to Baltimore to get a
better start, as though you were going to
England to be crowned, and, having come

But hpar ye, iu-ar ve, while I tell you
how you may practjcpHy live your life
over again and be ail the better for it.
You may put into the remaining years ot
your life all you have learned of wisdom
in your i«)st life. You may make the com
ing ten years worth the preceding 10 or 50
years When a man says vyould like to
live his life over again because he wojild
do so much better and yet goes right on
living as he has always lived, do you not
av he stultifies himself? He proves that if
he could go back he would do almost the
; same as he has done.

er, you give nine-tenths of your life to sin
and satan, and then get converted, and
then rest awhile in -sgictified laziness, and
then go up to get your heavenly reward,
and 1 warrant it will not take the cashier
of the royal banking house a great while
to count out to you all your dues. He
will not ask you whether you will have it
in bills of large denomination or small. I
would like to put one sentence of my ser
mon in italics and have it underscored
and three exclamation points at the end of
the sentence, ami that sentence is this: As
we cannot live our lives over again, the
nearest we can come to atone for the past
is by redoubled holiness and industry in
the future. If this rail train of life has
been detained and switched off and is far
behind the time table, the engineer for the
rest of the way must put on more pressure
of steam and go a mile a minute in order
to arrive at the right time and place under
the approval of conductor and directors.
Your Own Application.
As I supixtsed it would be, there are
young people on whom this subject has
acted with the force of a galvanic battery.
Without my saying a word to them, they
have soliloquized, saying: “As one cannot
live his lite over again and I can make
only one trip 1 must look out and make
no mistakes I have but one chance, and
I must make the most of it.” My young
friends, I am glad you made this applica
tion of the sermon yourself. When a min
ister toward the close of his sermon says,
"Now, a few words byway of applica
tion," jKJuple begin to look around for
their hats and get their arm through one
sleeve of their overcoats, and the sermonic
application is a failure. I am glad you
have made your own application, and that,
you are resolved, like a Quaker of whom I
read years ago, who In substtyice said, “1
shall be along this path of life but once,
and so 1 must do all the kindness I can
and all the good 1 can.”
My hearers, the mistakes of youth can
never be corrected. Time gone is gone
forever. An opportunity passed the thou
sandth part of a second has by one leap
reached the other side of a great eternity.
In the autumn win-n the birds migrate
you look up and sec the sky black with
wings and the flocks stretching out into
many leagues of air, and so today I look
up and see two large wings in fnjl sweep.
They arc the wings of the flying year.
That is followed by a Hock of 3(55, and
they are the flying days. Each of the fly
ing days is followed by 24, and they are
the flying hours, and each of these is fol
lowed by 6<), and these are the flying min
utes Where did this great flock start
from? Eternity past. Where are they
bound? Eternity to come. You might as
well go a gunning for the quails that
whistled last year in tho meadows or the
robins that hist year caroled in the sky as
to ti-y to fetch down ami bag one of the
past opportunities of your life. Do not
say, “I will lounge now nnd make it up
afterward ” Young men and boys, you
can 't make it up. My observation is that
those w ho in youth sowed wild oats to the
end of their short life soweti wild oats,
and that those who start sowing Genesee
wheat always sow Genesee wheat.
Heaping the Harvest.
And then the reaping of the harvest is
so different There is grandfather now.
He has lived to old age because his habits
have boon ffood His eyesight for this
world ha* got somewhat ']iin, but his eye
sight lor heaven is radiant His hearing
is not ho acute as it once was, and he must
bend clear over to hear what his little
grandchild says when she asks him what
he has brought for her. But he easily
oatolres the music rained from supernal
spheres. Men passing in the streets take
off their hats in reverence and women say,
‘What a good okl man he is!” Seventy or
89 years all for God and for making this
ivovld happy. Splendid! Glorious! Mag
nificent! Ho will have hard work getting
into heaven, because those whom ho helped
to get there wilt fill up and. crowd the
gates to tell him how glad they are ut Ids
coming, until he says, “Please to siand
buck a little till I pass through and cast
my crown at the feet of him whom, hav
ing not seen, I love.” 1 de not know what
you call that. £ cull it the harvest of
Genesee wheat.
Out yonder is a man very old at 40
years of age afc a time when he ought to
be buoyant as the morning. He got bad
habits on him very early, and those habits
have become worse. He is a man on tire,
on fire with alcoholism, on fire with all
evil habits, out with the we.i id and the
world out wit h him. Down and falling
deeper. His swollen hands in his thread
bare jwckpts, and his eyes fixed on the
ground, he passes through the street, and
the quick step of an innocent child or the
strong step of a young man or the roll of
a prosperous carriage maddens him, and
he curses society and he curses God Fall
en sick, with no resources, he is carried to
the almshouse. A loathsome spectacle, he
lies ail day iqng waiting for dissolution or
in the night rises on ids uoi. and lights ap
paritions of what he might have been and
what he will be He started life with aS
good a prospect as anv man on the Amer
ican continent, and there he is a bloated
carcass, waiting for the shovels of public
charity to put him Hye Icet under. He
has only reaiied what he sowed Harvest
of wild oats! “There is away that set-m
--eth right to a man, but the end thereof is
death. ‘ 1
A Masquerade.
To others life is a masquerade ball, and
us at such entertainments gentlemen and
ladies put on the garb of kings and queens
or mountebanks or clowns and at the close
put off the disguise, so a great many pass
their whole life in a mask, taking off the
mask at death While the masquerade
ball of life goes on they trip merrily over
the floor, gemmed hand is stretched to
gemmed hand, gleaming brow bends to
gleaming brow On with the dance!
Flush and rustle and laughter of immeas

COULDN’T LIVE ON SIOO A WEEK
New York Society is Agog Over Marriage of
Jost-phine Louise Rubsani.
New York, July 16. Glover-Rubsam
On Friday, July 8, 1898, by Rev. Mr. Meu
ry, Josephine Louise Rubsam to Fred S.
Glover.
This announcement tells of the sudden
marriage in Jersey City of a young girl
who couldn’t struggle along on SIOO a week
and a young man well known in .he social
an,! business circles of New York. Miss
Rubsam was the adopted daughter of Jo
seph Rubsum, a Staten Island brewer. She
became a member of his family when IS
months old, and now she has reached tihe
dignity of as many years. Glover is a wool
merehait. It is known that Miss Rubsam
could not get along on $lO a week, be
cause she said so to Judge Russell of the
supreme court. He was incredulous.
Glover has been spending the summer in
Larchmont with his bachelor Chum, A. E.
Coe. He has been at the Victoria Hotel
with a party comprising H. W- Swift, A.
P. Gardiner, A. Linsey, A. 0. MacDougall,
Charles Wustlich and William Hulse, all
of this city.
Coe was taking a nap on Friday -after
noon when Glover rushed Into their apart
ment, seized a dress suit case, hurled into it
a collection of raiment that may have suf
fered in the process, and ashed out again,
leaving Coe blinking in mild astonishment.
As Glover was leaving the hotel he paused
at the desk and wrote a few hurried lines.
When Coe went down stairs he received
a note. As he read it several other mem
bers of the party approached.
“Fred is going to be married,” he gasp
ed.
Then there was a general handshaking
and a resolve to have a stag dinner as soon
as the honey moon was over.
Meanwhile Glover was speeding toward
New York. Here he met Miss Rubsam,
there was a 'hurried trip to Jersey -City and
the Rey. Meury tied the knot. Saturday
was passed in the city and then the de
parture was made on the wedding trip.
Mrs. Glover is an extremely attractive
girl. Her adopted father died in October,
1890, leaving a large fortune. By his will
one-third of his estate went to the adopted
years old, when she will receive the prin
cipal. Her mother by adoption died in
1896. •
August Hoorman and William K. Leight
are the surviving trustees. The income
for the girl amounts to $9,000, and Mrs.
Glover has been receiving SIOO a week. In
1896 ghp was aljowed $7,000 to tide along,
but about a month ago she complained tp
the court, without avail, that it was diffi
cult to make ijoth ends meet. She atten
ded a fashionable school on Fifth avenue
and at the close of last season she engaged
a suite in the Hotel Savoy for herself ans
maid.
It was there that she was introduced tp
Mr Glover by his aunt, Mrs. Hutton.,
Remarkable ReHeiie.
Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement that she caught cold
which settled on her lungs: she was treat
ed for a month by her family physician
but grew worse. He told her she was a
hopeless victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her drug
gist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery
for consumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefitted
from the first dose. She continued its use
end after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well, now does her own house
work and is as well as she eyer was.

About one month ago my child, which is
