THE WORK OF TODAY. WE SHOULD LIVE FOR OUR OWN TIME AND GENERATION. Pradlral Wayi and Mean* of Serving the , Unman Kane God's Fart Haa Been > ’ Done, It Is Our Turn to Act—The Day | and the Deed. (Copyright. 189& by American Press Asso ciation] Wafhiwtom, Sept. 4—ln this discourse Dr. Talmag»‘ changes our lifetime from a I tneanlngloiS generality to practical help- i fulncM) to the perjple now living: text, Acta xili, 30, “David, after he had served | his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep. ’’ That is a text which has for n long time I , been running through my mind Sermons , have n time to bo born as well w a time to I die—a cradle as wall as a grava David, | oowlxjy and stone slinger and fighter and , dramatist and blank verse writer and ! prophet, did bin I wet for the people of bis I time, and then wont and laid down on the (southern hill of Jerusalem in that sound •lumber which nothing but an archangelic blast can startle “David, after he had •erve his own generation by the will of God, Ml on sloop. " It was his own gen eration that hr, hod served—that is, the people living at the time he lived. And have you ever thought that our responsi bilities are chiefly with the people now walking abreast of uh? There arc about four generations to a century now, but in olden time life was longer, and there was perhaps only one generation to a century Taking these facta into the calculation, I make a rough guess and say that there have tx»cn at least 180 generations of the human family With reference to thorn wo have no resi>onslbillty. We cannot teach them, we cannot correct their mis takes, wo cannot soothe their sorrows, we cannot hcw>l their wounds Th, ir sopul chers are deaf and dumb to anything we might my to them. The lust regiment of that great army has passed out of sight. Wo might halloo as loud as we could; not one of them would avert his head to see what we wanted. I admit that I am in sympathy with the child w!i«nm father hud suddenly died, ami who in her little even ing prayer wanted to continue to pray for her father, although he had gone Into heaven, and no more needed her prayers, and, looking up into her mother's face, said; “Oh, mother, 1 cannot leave him all out I Let me say thank God that I had t» good father once, so I can keep him in my prayers." The Coming Generations. Hut the 180 generations hov. passed of! Pamed up. Passed down. Gone forever Then there arc generations to ooino after Our (Mirt.hly existence has censed. We shall not them, we shall not hour any of their voices, we will take no part, in their Convocations, their elections, their revolu tions, their catastrophes, their triumphs We will in nowise affect the 180 genera tions gone or the 180 generations to come, except a- from the galleries of heaven the former generations look down and rejoice at our victories or as we may, by our be havior, start Influence, good or bad, that shall roll on through the advancing ages. But our business is, like David, to serve our own generation the ixw.ple now liv ing, those whoso lungs now breathe and Whose hearts now beat. And, mark you, it is not a silent prtxveslon, bnt moving It is n “forced march” at 2-1 miles a day, each hour being a mile. Going with that celerity, it luus got to lx, a quick service on our part, or no service at all. We not only cannot tench the 180 generations past and will not see th-.’1:0 generations to come, but this generation now on the stage will whhi be off, and wo ourselves will bo off with them. The fact is that you and I will have to start very soon for our work, or it will bo ironical and sarcastic for any one after our exit to say of uh, as it was said of David, “After ho had served his own generation by the will of God he fell on sleep. ” What Can Wo Do? Well, now lot us look around earnestly, prayerfully, in a common sense way and see what we can do for our own genera tit a. First of all, lot us see to it that, as far as wo can, they have enough to eat.. The human body is so constituted that three times a day the body needs food as much as a lamp needs oil, as much as a locomotive needs fuel To meet tills want God has girdled the earth with apple or chards, orange grows, Wheatfields and oceans full of fish, anil prairies full of cat tle. And notwithstanding this, I will un dertake to ray that the vast majority of the human family are now suffering eit her for lack of food or the right kind of food. Our civilization is all askew, and God only can set it right. Many of the great est estates of today have been built out of the hloiKl and bones of unrequited toil. In olden times for the building of forts and towers the inhabitants of Ispahan had to contribute 70,000 skulls, and Bagdad 90,000 human skulls, and that number of people wore compelled to furnish the skulls. But these two contributions added together made only 100,000 skulls, while Into the tower of the world’s wealth and pomp have been wrought the skeletons of uncounted numbers of the half fed popu lotions of the earth—millions of skulls. Don’t sit. down at. your table with five or six courses of abundant supply and think nothing of that, family In the next street who would take any one of those five courses Ixtwevn soup and almond nuts and find they were in heaven. The lack of the right kind of food is the cause of tnueh of the drunkenness. After drinking what many of our grocers call coffee, sweetened with what many call sugar and eating what many of our butchers call meat, and chewing what many of our bakers call bread, many of the laboring class feel sii miserable they are tempted to put into their nasty pijK's what the tobac conist calls tobacco or go into the drinking salixms for what the rumscllers call beer. Good coffee would do much In driving out bad rum. Some I‘racth'nl Methods, Bow can wo servo our generation with enough to oat? By sitting down in em broidered slippers and lounging hack In j an armchair, uur mouth puckered up i around a Havana of the best brand, and j through clouds of luxuriant smoke rood- i Ing alxnit political economy and the phil osophy of strikes? No, nol By finding out who in this city has been living on gristle and sending them a tenderloin beefsteak. Seek out some family who through sickness or conjunction of misfor tunes have not enough to eat and do for them what Christ did for the hungry mul titudes of Asia Minor, multiplying the loaves and the fishes. Ix t us quit the sur feiting of lursehi'S until we cannot choke down another crumb of cake and begin the supply of others’ necessities. So far from helping appease the world’s hunger are those whom Isaiah describes as grinding the faces of the poor. You have seen a former or a mechanic put a scythe or aD ax on a grindstone while some one was turning it round and round and the man holding the ax bore on it harder and hard er. while the water dropped from the grindstone, and the edge of the ax from being round and dull get keener and keen er. So I have seen men who were put against the grindstone of hardship, and while one turned the crank, another would press the unfortunate harder down and border down Vmtil he was ground away i thinner and thinner—bis comforts thin nor, his prospects thinner and his face I thinner. And Isaiah shrieks out, What mean ye that ye grind the faces of the poor?" The Battle For Bread. It is an awful thing to lie hungry. It is an easy thing for us to be In good hu- 1 mor with all the world when we have no | lack. But let hunger take full possession . of us, and we would all turn into barba- I rians and cannibals and fiends. Suppose | that some of the energy we are expending j in useless and unavailing talk about the ■ bread question should be expended in \ merciful alleviations. 1 hare read that the battlefield on which more troops met than 1 on any other in the world’s history was the battlefield of Leipsio—l6o,ooo men under Napoleon, 250,000 men under Schwarzeberg. No, no! The greatest and : most terrific battle is now being fought j all the world over. It is the battle for I bread. The ground tone of the finest pus- i •age in one of the great musical master- ; pieces, the artist says, was suggested to : Him by the cry of the hungry populace of ' A ienria as the king rode through and they shouted: “Bread! Give us bread!” And all through the great harmonies of mu sical academy and cathedral I hear the pathos, th< ground tone, the tragedy, of uncounted multitudes, who with stream ing ey«>« and wan checks and broken heorte in behalf of themselves and their families ore pleading for bread. A Lank Aroand Vs. Let us take another look around to see how we may serve our generation. Let us see, as far as possible, that they have enough to wear. God looks upon the hu man race and knows just how many in habitants the world has. The statistics of the world’s population are carefully taken in civilized lands, and every few years offi cers of government go through the land and count how many people there are in the Unitori i~tat<« or England, and great accuracy is reached. But when people tell us how many Inhabitants there are in Asia or Africa at best it must be a wild guess. Yet God knows the exact number of piople on our planet, and he has made enough apparel for each, and If there be fifteen hundred million, fifteen thousand, flftwn hundred and fifteen people, then there Is enough apparel for fifteen hundred million, fifteen thousand, fifteen hundred and flftei n Not slouchy apparel, not raggeil apparel, not insufficient apparel, but appropriate appareL At least two suits for every being on earth, a summer suit aud a winter suit. A good pair of shoes for every’ living mortal. A good coat, a good hut or a good bonnet and a good shawl and a complete masculine or feminine outfit of apparel. A wardrobe for ail nattouA adapted to all climes, and not a string or a button or a pin or a hook or un eye wanting. But, alas! where are the good clothes for three-fourths of the human race? Tho other one-fourth have appropriated them. The ftu t is there nods to lie and will boa redistribution. Not by anarohistto vio lence. If outlawry hud Its way, it would rend and b ar and diminish, until Instead of throe-fourths of the world not properly ottired, four-fourths would be in ruga I will let yon know bow the redistribution will take pbto iiy ••■•ncrosity on the part of those who buve a surplus, and increased indu. “ry on the part of those suffering from deficit. Not all, but the large ma jority of cae» « of poverty in this country arc a result of idleness or drunkenness, either on the part of the present sufferers or their ancestor:.,. In most oases the rum jug is the maelstrom that has swallowed down tho livelihood of those who are in rugs. Bnt things will change, and by generosity on the part of the crowded wardrobes, and Industry and sobriety on the part of the empty wardrobes, there will be enough for all to wear. Go«l Does His Part. God has done his part toward the dress ing of the human race. Ho grows a sur plus of wool on the sheep’s back and flocks roam the m< untuins and valleys with a burden of warmth intended for transfer ence to human comfort, when the shuttles of the fae'ork'd, reaching all the way from Chattahoochee to tho Merrimac, shall have spun and woven it. In white letters of snowy fleecy (rod has been writing for I,OOC years his wish that there might bo warmth for all nations. While others are discussing the effect of high or low tariff or no tariff at all on wool you and I had better see if in our wardrobes we have nothing that wo can spare for tho suffer ing or pick out some poor lad of tho street and take him dow n to a clothing store and fit him out for tho season. Gospel of shoes I Gospel of hate I Gospel of clothee for the nak.nl! Again, let us look around and see how many serve our generation. What short sighted mortals wo would be if wo were anxious to clothe and feed only the most insignificant part, of a man—namely, his body—while we put forth no effort to clothe and feed and save his soul. Timo is a little piece broken off a great eternity. What are we doing for the souls of this present generation? Let mo say it is a generation worth saving. Most magnifi cent mon and women are in it. We make a groat ado about tho improvements in navigation and in locomotion and in art and machinery. We remark what won ders of telegraph and telephone and tho stethoscope. What improvement is elec tric light over a tallow candle! But all these improvements are insignificant com pared with tho improvement in tho hu man race. In oldon times once in awhile a great and good man or woman W’ould come up, and the world Las made a great fuss about it ever since, but now they are so numerous we scarcely speak about them. Wo put a halo about the people of the past, but I think, if tho times demand ed them, it. would be found we have now living in this year 1898 59 Martin Luthers, 50 George Washingtons, 50 Lady Hunting dons, 50 Elizabeth Frys. During our civil war more splendid warriors in north and south were developed in four years than the whole world developed in the previous 20 years. I challenge tho 4,000 years be fore Christ and also the 18 centuries after Christ to show me the equal of charity on a large scale of George Peabody. This generation of men and women is more worth saving than anyone of tho 180 gen erations that have passed off. Where shall we begin? With ourselves. That is the pillar from which we must start. The Dividing T.ino, Prescott, the blind historian, tells us how Pizarro saved his army for the right when they were about deserting him. With his sword he made a long mark on the ground. Ho said: “My mon, on the north side are desertion and death; on the south side is victory; on the north side Panama and poverty; on the south side Peru with all its riches. Choose for your selves. For my part, Igo to the south." Stopping across the lino one by one h|s troops followed, and finally his whole army The sword of God’s truth draws the di viding Hoc today. On one side of it are sin and min and death; on the other side of it are panion and usefulness and happi ness and heaven. You cross from the wrong side to the right side, and your family will cross with you, and your friends and your associates. The way you go tl- \v wlil go. If we arc not saved, we will never save any 000 else. How to get saved? Be willing to accept Christ aini then acxxipt him instantane ously and forever. Get on the rock first, and then you will be able to help others upon the same rock. Mon and women have been saved quicker than I have been talking about it. What I Without a pray er? Yes. What ! Without time to deliber ately think it over? Yes. What! Without a tear? Yes. Believe; that is all. Believe what: That Jesus died to save you from sin and death and hell. Will you? Do yon? You have. Something irakes me thing you have. New light has come into rour countenances. Welcome! Welcome! Hail! Hail! Saved yourselves, how are you to save others? By testimony. Tell It to your family. Tell it to your business associates. Tell it everywhere. We will successfully preach no more religion and will sucetssfiilly bilk no more religion than we ourselves have. The most of that which you do to benefit the souls of this generation you will effect through your own behavior. Go wrong and that will induce others to go wrong. Go right and that will Induce others to go right. When the great CerA nnial exhibition was being held in Philadelphia, the question came up among the directors as to whether they shouid keep the exposition open on Sun days, when a director, who was a man of the world from Nevada, arose and said, his voice trembling with emotion and tears running down his cheeks: “I feel like a returned prodigal. Twenty years ago I went west and into a region where we had no Sabbath, but today old mem ories come back to me, and I remember what my glorified mother taught me about keeping Sunday, and I seem to bear her voice again and feel as I did when every evening I elt by her side in prayer. Gentlemen, I vote for the observance of the Christian Subbath.” And he carried everything by storm, and when the ques tion was put. “Shall we open the exhibi tion on the Sabbath?" tt was almost unan imous, No,” “No.” What one man can do if he does right, boldly right, emphat ically right I For Tills Generation. I confess to you that my one wish is to serve this generation, not to antagonize it, not to damage it, not to rule it, but to serve It. I would like to do something toward helping unstrap its load, to stop Jxs tears, to balsam wounds ami tq in- duce it to put foot on the upward road that has at its t rminus acclamation rap turous and gates pearline and garlands amaranthine and fountains rain bowed and dominions enthroned and coroueted, for I cannot forget that- lullaby in the closing words of my text, “ David, after he had served bis own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.” What a lovely sleep it was! Unfilial Absalom did not trouble it. Ambitious Adonijah did not worry it. Persecuting Saul did not har row IL Exile did not fill it with night mare. Since a redheaded boy, amid his father’s docks at night, be had not had such a good sleep. At 70 years of age he laid down to it. He had had many a troubled sleep, as in the caverns of Adul lam or in the palace at the time his en emies were attempting his capture, but this was a peaceful sleep, a calm sleep, a restful sleep, a glorious sleep. “After he had served his generation by the will of God, he fell on sleep." Oh, what a good thing is sleep after a hard day’s work I It takes all the aching out of the head and all the weariness out of the limbs and all the smartlug out of the eyes. From it we rise in the morning, and it is a now world, and if we, like David, serve our generation we will at life’s close have most desirable and re freshing sleep. In it will vanish our last fatigue of body, our last worriment of mind, our hist sorrow of soul. To the Christian’s body that was hot with raging fevers, so that the attendants must by sheer force keep on’the blankets, it will be the cool sleep. To those who are thin blooded and shivering with agues it will be the warm sleep. To those who, be cause of physical disorders, were terrified with night visions, it will be the dream less sleep. To nurses and doctors and mothers who were wakened almost every hour of the night by those to whom they ministered or over whom they watched it will be the undisturbed sleep. To those who could not get to bed till late at night and must rise early in the morning and before getting rusted, it will be the long sleep. Away With Gloomy Talk. Away with all your gloomy talk about departing from this world! If we have served our generation, it will not be put ting out into the breakers. It will not be the fight with the king of terrors. It will be going to sleep. A friend, writing me from Illinois, says that Rev. Dr. Wingate, president of Wake Forest college, North Carolina, after a most useful life, found his last day on twerth his happiest day, and that in his last moments ho seemed to be personally talking with Christ, as friend with friend, saying: “Oh, how delightful it is I I knew you would be wivh me when tho time came, and I knew it would be sweet, but I did not know it would be as sweet as it is." The fact was he had served his generation in the gospel ministry, and by the will of God he fell asleep. When in Africa, Majwara, tho servant, looked into the tent of David Livingstone and found him on his knees. He stepped back, not wishing to disturb him in prayer, and some time after went in and found him in the same posture and stepped back again, but after awhile went in and touched him, and, io, the great traveler had finished his last Journey, and he had died in tho grandest and mightiest posture a man ever takes—on his knees I He had served his generation by unrolling the scroll of a continent, and by the will of God foil on sloop. In the museum o£ Greenwich, England, there is a fragment of a book that was found in the arctio regions amid the relics of Sir John Frank lin, who had perished amid tho snow and lee, and the leaf of that piece of a book was turned down at the words, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee.” Having served bls genera tion in the cause of science and discovery, by the will of God ft© fell on sleop. A Glorious Awakening. Why will you keep us all so nervous talking about that which is only a dormi tory and a pillowed slumber, canopied by angels’ wings? Sleep I Transporting deep! And what a glorious awakening! You and I have sometimes been thorough ly bewildered after a long and fatiguing Journey. We have stopped at a friend’s house for the night, and after hours of complete unconsciousness wo have opened our eyes, the high risen sun full in our faces, and before we could fully collect our faculties have said: “Where am I? Whose house is this and whose are these gardens?" And then it has flashed upon us in glad reality. And I should not wonder if, after we have served our generation and, by the Will of God, have fallen on sleep, the deep sleep, the restful sleop, we should awaken in blissful bewilderment and for a little while say: “Where am I? What palace is this? Why, this looks like heaven I It is, It is. Why, there is a building grander than all tho castles of earth heaved into a mountain of splendor—that must be the palace of Jesus! And look there at those walks lined with foliage more beautiful than anything I over saw before and sec those who are walking down those aisles of verdure. From what I have heard of them those two arm and arm must be Moses and Joshua, him of Mount Sinai and him of tho halting sun over Gibeon. And those two walking arm in arm must be John and Paul, the one so gentle and the other so mighty. Never More to Part. “But I must not look any longer at those gardens of beauty, but examine this building in which I have Just awakened. I look out of tho window this way and that and up and down, and I find it is a mansion of Immense size in which I am stopping. All it« windows of agate and its colonnades of porphyry and alabaster. Why, I wonder if this is not the ‘house of many mansions’ of which I used to read? It is, it is. There must bo many of ray kindred and friends in this very mansion. Hark! Whoso are those voices? Whose are those bounding foot? I open tho door and see, and, 10, they are coming through all the corridors and up and down all the stairs, our long absent kindred. Why, there is father, there is mother, there are tho children I All well again, all young agiiin, of us together again, and as we embrace each other with the cry:‘Never more to parti Never more to parti’ the arches, the alcoves, the hallways, echo end re-echo tho words:‘Never more to part! Never more to parti’ Then our glorified friends say, ‘Come out with us and see heaven.’ And, some of them bounding ahead of ns and some of them skipping beside us, wo start down the ivory stair way. And we meet, coming up, one of the kings of ancient Israel, somewhat small of stature, but having a countenance radiant with a thousand victories. And as all are making obeisance to this great one of heaven 1 cry out, ‘Who is he?’ And the answer comes: ‘This is the greatest of all the kings. It is David, who, after be had served his generation by the will of God. fell on sleep. ’ ” Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made and that, too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years he withstood its se verest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and her death seemed immi nent. For three mouths she coughed in cessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery by purchas ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on raking the first dose that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured.

MACON NEWS MONDAT EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5 1898. The Dream of an Autocrat . There is no reason to doubt that the prononneement of the czar has its motive in an honest desire to relieve the nations from, a strain which has nearly reached the breaking point.—Philadelphia Record. Russia’s proposals will be seriously dis cussed throughout Europe. It ought to re sult in a great reduction of the present menacing and expensive armies.—Roches ter Herald. It is one of those flashings of light out of the darkness which renew faith in God and man and the beneficent increasing pur pose which runs through ages.—New York Evening Post. The czar awakens rather late to a realiz ing sense that militarism inflicts great bur dens on a people, but that he should awaken to it at all, is the most encourag ing news that has come from Russia for many a day.—'Boston Transcript. We do not doubt that the time will come —and possibly within a generation—when what Nicholas now seeks will be possible of realization. But we fear it will come only after a conflict which all must dread, aj involving incalculable horror, but which it is apparently impossible to avert so long as the men who have led the way to its precipitation contineu to control the desti nies of Europe.—New York Mail and Ex press. This young autocrat of the widest of do minions, ruling by military power, has be come convinced that the entire system of modern armament is wrong. He has heard, even in his guarded palace, the groaning of the burdened people. Truly the force of real civilization is mighty.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Having secured by diplomacy all he cov eted in China, perhaps he is now willing to have peace prevail until he can devel op his magnificent plans for the commer cial aggrandizement of Russia. Once he finds his people prosperous and contented, he can devote his skill to the upbuilding of an immense army, to be supported by •his subjects without wringing from them their last penny. If the czar is sincere, if the kaiser wants war no more, if France has had enough of fight, they will agree, as a preliminary to universal peace, to open the eastern doors ■to all comers without discrimination and to keep them open.—Brooklyn agle. ffi is i Time TO GO To the mountains. warm Springs, Ga. in tne mountains, Where tlhe weather 1b delightfully cool and the condiMone are all healthful.
