GOOD HANDED DOWN. OR. TALMAGE PREACHES ON INFLU ENCE OF HEREDITY. *G rand tn of hem a Mighty Power Fnr Good or Evil-—Woman’s Qualities Transmitted U> Her Children—A Mother’s Great lie "l'OUMiblllty. ICcpyright, 1898, by American Frees Asso ciation.] Washington, Oct. 9. —The augmenta tion of parental influence as the centuries go by Dr. Talmage here sets forth whilo discoursing about one of the grandmoth ers of Blblctimes. The textis II Timothy i, 5. “The unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois.” In this pastoral letter which Paul, the old minister, is writing to Timothy, the young minister, the family record is brought out. Paul practically says: “Timothy, what a good grnndiqother you had’ You ought to be better than most folks, because not only was your mother good, but your grandmother was good al.-’. Two preceding generations of piety ought to give you a mighty push in the right direction.” The fact was that Timo thy needed encouragement. lie was in poor health, having a weak stomach, and was a dyspeptic, and Pau! prescribed for him tonic, “a little wine for thy st.om »•!.'■> -..?.e”—not much Wine, but a little wine, am! only as a iui dicine. And if the wine then had been as much adulterated with h ..'wood and strychnine as cur mod ern wines ho would not have prescribed any J at Timothy, nor strong physically, is er. louraged spiritually by the recital of grai imot I.erly excellence, Paul hinting to htn , as I hint this to you, t hat God soilie t:ce-, gather.■> upas in a reservoir, away back of the active generations of today, a godly influence and then, in response to player, leiadown the power upon children and grandchildren and great-grandchil dren The world is woes illy in want of a Sable of statistics in regard to what is the />roiroutedness and immensltyof influence of ..mu good woman in the church and world We have accounts of how much evil has been wrought by a woman who lived nearly a hundred years ago, and of how many criminals her descendants fur nished for the penitentiary and the gal lows, and how many hundreds of thou i-ands of dollars they cost our country in their arraignment and prison support, as well as in the property they burglarized and destroyed, but will not someone come out with brain comprehensive enough ar.l heart warm enough and pen keen enough to give us the facts in regard to seme good woman of a hundred years ago and let us know how many Christian men and women and reformers and useful peo ple have been found among her descend ants. and how many asylums and colleges and churches they built, and how many millions of dollars they contributed for humanitarian and Christian purposes)* Good Women’s Influence. The good women whose tombstones were planted in the eighteenth century are more alive for good in the nineteenth cen iury than they were before, as the good women of this nineteenth century will be more alive for good in the twentieth cen tury than now. Mark you, I have no idea that the grandmothers were any better than their granddaughters. You cannot f.n t very old people to talk much about how things were when they wen* boys and girls. They have a reticence and a non onmmittulism which make me think they feel themselves to be the custodians of rhe reputation of their early comrades. While our dear old folks are rehearsing the follies of the present, if we put them on the wit ness stand and cross examine them as to how things were 70 years ago the silence becomes oppressive. The celebrated Frenchman, Volney, vis ited this country in 1790, and he says of ■woman’s diet in those times, “If a pre mium was offered for a regimen most de structive to health, none could be devised more efficacious for these ends than that in use among these people.” Thateclipses cmr lobster salad at midnight. Everybody talks about the dissipation of modern so ciety and how womanly health goes down under it, but it was worse 100 years Ego, for the chaplain of a French regi ment in our I?evolutionary war wrote in 17b2 in his “Book of American Women,” living: “They are tall and well propor ’ ioi ed; their features are generally regu lar; their complexions are generally fair and v ithout color. At. 20 years of age the •women have no longer the freshness of youth. At 30 or 40 they are decrepit.” In 181” a foreign consul wrote a book en tithd'-A Sketch of the United States at the Commcneeim nt of the Present Cen tury,” and he says of the women of those times, “At the age of 30 all their charms have disappeared.” One glance at the portraits of the women 100 years ago, and their stylo of dress makes us wonder how they ever got their breath. All this makes me think that the express rail train is no mere an improvement on the old canal boat, or the telegraph no more an im provement on the eld time saddlebags than the women of our day are an im provement on the women of the last cen tury. A Glorious Hare. But still, notwithstanding that those times wore so much worse than ours, there was a glorious race of godly women 70 and 160 years ago who held the world back from sin and lifted it toward virtue, and without their exalted and sanctified Influen *e before this the last good influ ence would have perished from the earth. Indeed all over this land there are seated today—not so much in churches, for many of them are too feeble to come—a great many aged grandmothers. They some times feel that the world has gone past them, and they have an idea that they are of little account. Their head sometimes gets aching from the racket of the grand children down stairs or in the next room. They steady themselves by the banisters ns they go up and down. When they get n cold, it hangs on them longer than it used to. They cannot bear to have the grandchildren punished, even when they deserve it, and have so relaxed their ideas of family discipline that they would spoil all the youngsters of the household by too great leniency. These old folks are the resort when great troubles come, and then.' is a calm ing and soothing power in the touch of an aged hand that is almost supernatural They feel they are almost through with the journey of life and read the eld book more than they used to, hardly knowing which most they enjoy, the Old Testament or the New, and often stop and dwell tear fully over the family record half way be tween. We hail them today, whether in the house of God or at the homestead. Blessed Is that household that has in it a grandmother Lois. Where she is angels are hovering round and God is in the room Muy her last days be like th lovelv autumnal days that we call Indian summer. . | ..—. - ‘ A iw UsACAfe W *JI U*«l X J 1 things—swing open a picture gallery of the wrinkled faces and st xjp -d shoulders of the past and call down from their heav enly thrones the godly grandmothers, to • give them our thunks, and then to per suade the mothers cf today that they are living for all time, and that against the sld'-s of every cradle in which a child is rocked beat the two eternities? For Good or KviL Here we have an untried, undiscussed and unexplored subject. You often hear about your influence upon your own chil dren. lam not talking about that. What about your influence upon the twentieth Century, upon the thirtieth century, upon the fortieth century, upon the year 2,000, i ‘ upon the year 4,000, if the world lasts so ’ long. The world stood years before j ' Christ came. It Is not unreasonable to suppose that it may stand 4,000 years aft- | , er his arrival. Four thousand years the world swung off in sin, 4,000 years it may be swinging back into righteousness. By the ordinary rate of multiplication of the 1 i world's population in a century your do- ■ ■ scendantfi .wili be over 300, and by two I 1 centuries over 50,000, and upon every one* ■ 1 of them you, the mother of today, will ' ; have an influence for good or evil. And if in four centuries your descendants shall have with their names filled a scroll of i hundreds of thousands will some angel from heaven, to whom is given the capac- i ity to calculate the number of the stars of heaven and the sands of the seashore, step down ami tell us how many descend ants you will have in the four thousandth year of the world’s possible continuance? Do not let the grandmothers any longer think that they are retired and sit clear. I Aack out of sight from the world, feeling that they have no relation to it. The ! mothers of the last century are today in j the person of their descendants, in the sen ates, the parliaments, the palaces, the pul pits, the banking houses, the professional i I chairs, the prisons, the almshouses, the company of midnight brigands, the cellars, the ditches of this century. You have . i been thinking about the importance of j having the right influence upon one nurs ery. You have been thinking of the im portance of getting those two little feet on the right path. You have been thinking cf your child’s destiny for the next sb years if it should pass on to be an octogenarian. That is well, but mv subject sweeps a thousand years, a million years, a quad rillion of years I cannot stop at one i cradle. lam looking at the cradles that reach all around the world and across all time. I am not talking of Mother Eunice. lam talking of Grandmother Lois. The only way you can tell the force of a cur rent is by sailing up stream or the force of an ocean wave by running the ship against it. Running along with it, wecan . not appreciate the force. In estimating maternal influence we generally run along with it down the stream cf time, and so we don’t understand the full force. Let : us come up to it from the eternity side. | after it has l>een working on for centuries, ftiSd see all the good it has done and all the evil it has accomplished multiplied in ' magnificent or appalling compound inter . est. Dike a Mighty River. The difference between that mother’s - influence on her chiidicn now and the in fluence when it has been multiplied in hundreds of thousands of lives is the dif ference. between the Mississippi river away up at the top of the continent starting from the little Lake Itasca, seven miles long and one wide, and its mouth at the , gulf of Mexico, where navies might ride. * Between the birth of that river and its burial in the sea the Missouri pours in, and the Ohip pours in. and the Arkansas pours in, and the Bed and White and the Y’azoo rivers pour in, and all the states am! territories between the Alleghany and , Rocky mountains make contribution. Now. in order to test the power of a moth er’s influence, we need to come in off the ocean of eternity and sail up toward the one cradle, and we will find 10,600 tribu- ; taries of influence pouring in and pouring down. But it is, after all, one great river' of power rolling on and rolling forever. Who can fathom it? Who can bridge it? Who can stop it? Had not mothers better be intensifying lheir prayers? Had they not better be elevating their example? Had they not better be rousing themselves with the consideration that by their faith fulness or neglect they are starting an in fluence which will be stupendous after the last mountain cf earth is fiat, and the last sea has dried up, and the last flake cf the ashes of a consumed world shall have been blown away, and all (ha telescopes of other worlds directed to the track around which our world once swung shall discover not i so much as a cinder of the burned down ■ and swept oil planet? In Ceylon there is ! a granite column 36 square feet in size which is thought by the natives to decide j - the world’s continuance. An angel with I robes spun from zephyrs is once a century : to descend and sweep the hem cf that robe i . across the granite, and when by that at- I , trition rhe column is worn away they say 1 time will end But by that process that granite column would be worn out of ex istence before mother s influence will be- : gin to give way Mother’s influence. If a mother tell a child if he is not good l ■ some bugaboo will come and catch him, the fear excited may make the child a I coward, and the fact that he finds that I there is no bugaboo may make him a liar, : and the echo of that false alarm may be j < heard after 15 generations have been born | and have expired. If a mother promises a ‘ i child a reward for good behavior and after i the good behavior forgets to give the re- ’ ward, the cheat may crop out in some i faithlessness half a thousand years farther . i on. If a mother cultivate a child’s vanity and eulogize his curls and extol the night ! black or sky blue or nut brown of the ■ child’s eyes and call out in his presence the admiration of spectators, pride and ar- 1 rogance may be prolonged after half a doz en family records have been obliterated. If a mother express doubt about some state ment of the Holy Bible in a child’s pres ence. long after the gates of this cal era have closed and the gates of another ; era have opened the result may be seen in ; a champion blasphemer. But. on the ofher ! hand, if a mother walking with a child i see a suffering one by the wayside and says, “My child, give that 10 cent piece to that lame boy,’’ the result may lx' seen on the other side of the following century in some George Muller building a whole vil lage »?f orphanages.. If a mother sit almost every evening by the trundle bed of a child and teach it lessons of a Saviour s . love and a Saviour's example, of the im- ■ portanco of truth uad tb.c horror cf a lie ; and the virtue.- of industry and kindness and sympathy and self sacrifice, long after the mother has gone and the child has | gone and the lettering on both the tomb stones shail have been washed our by the storms of innumerab e winters there may i be standing us a result of these trundle ■ bed kessens flaming evangels, world mov- | ing rest rmers. seraphic Summerfields, ’ weeping Paysons. thundering Whitefields, omancipating Wash • ngtons. God Never Forfitct*. Good or bad influence may skip one gen- i | eruticn or two generations, but it will be j Mft.cn-- — MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER xo 'HcB | sme uud m tue enud or louvch genera tion. juat as the Ten Commandments, speaking of the visitation of God on fami lies. says nothing about tbe second gen eration, but entirely skips the second and speaks of the third and fourth generation —“visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.” Parental influence, right and wrong, may jump over a gen eration, but it will come down further on as sure as you sit there and I stand here. Timothy’s ministry was projected by his grandmother, Lois. There are men and women here, the sons and daughters of the Christian church, who are such as a result of the consecration of great-great grandmothers. Why, who do you think the Lord is? You talk as though his mem ory was weak. He can as easily remem ber a prayer offered five centuires ago as a prayer offered five minutes ago. This ex plains what we often see—some man or woman distinguished for benevolence when the father and mother were distin guished far penuriousness, or you see some young man or woman with a bud father and a hard mother come out gloriously for Christ and make the church sob and shout and sing under their exhortations. We stand in corners of tbe vestry and whisper over the matter fend say, “How is this, such great piety in sons and daughters of such parental worldliness and sin?” I will explain it to you if you will fetch me the old family Bible containing the full record. Let some septuagenarian look with me clear upon the page of births and marriages ami tell me who that woman was with the old fashioned name of Je mima or Betsy or Mehitafiel. Ah, there she is, the old grandmother, or great grandmother, who had enough religion saturate a century. Transmitted Power. There she is, the dear old soul, Grand mother Lois. In beautiful Greenwood cemetery there is the resting place of George W. Bethune, once a minister of Brooklyn Heights, his name never spoken among intelligent Americans without sug gesting two things—eloquence and evan gelism. In the same tomb sleeps his grandmother. Isabella Graham, who was the chief inspiration of his ministry. Y’ou are not surprised at the poetry and pathos and pulpit power cf the grandson when you read of the faith and devotion cf his wonderful ancestress. When you read this letter, in which she poured out her widow ed sou! in loggings for a son’s salvation,, yon will not vender that succeeding gen erations have been blessed: “New York, May 20, 17&. “This day my only son left me in bitter wringings of heart. He is again launched on the ocean—God’s ocean. The Lord saved him from shipwreck, brought him to my home and allowed me onco more to indulge my affections (.ver him. He has been with me but a short time, and ill have I improved it; he is gone from my sight, and my heart bursts with tumultu ous grief. Lord, have mercy on the wid ow's son, The only son of his mother.’ “I ask nothing in all this world for him; I repeat my petition, Save his soul alive, give him salvation from sin. It is net the danger of the seas that distresses me; it is not the hardships he must un dergo; it is not the dread of never seeing him more in ‘his world; it is because I cannot discern the fulfillment of the promise in him. I cannot-discern tbe new birth nor its fruit, but every symptom of captivity to satan, the world and self will. This, this is what distresses me, and in connection with this his being shut out ’from ordinances at a distance from Chris tians. Shut up with those who forget God, profane his name and break his Sab baths. Men who often live and die like beasts, yet ere accountable creatures, who must answer for every moment of time and every word, thought and action. Oh, Lord, many wonders hast thou shown me; thy ways of dealing with me and mine have not been common ones; add this wonder to the rest. Cail, convert, regener ate and establish a sailor in the faith. Lord, all things are possible with thee. GrcVify thy Son Slid extend his kingdom by sea and land. Take the prey from the strong. I roll him over upon thee. Many friends try to comfort me; miserable com forters are they all. Thou art the God of consolation. Only confirm to me thy precious word, on which thou causedst me to hope in the day when thou saidst to me, ‘Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive.’ Only let this life be a spiritual life, and I put a blank in thy hand as to all temporal things. “I wait for thy salvation.- Amen.” With such a grandmother, would you not have a right to expect a George W. Bethune? And all the thousands convert ed through his ministry may date the sav ing powt r back to Isabella Graham. God fill the earth and the heavens with such grandmothers) We must go up and thank these dear old souls. Surely God will let us go up and tell them of the results of their influence. Among our first questions in heaven will bo,. “Where is grandmother?” They will point her out, for we would hardly know her. even if we had seen her on earth, so bent over with years once and there so straight, so dim cf eye through the blind ing of earthly tears and now her eye as clear as heaven, so full of aches and pains once and now so agile with celestial health, the wrinkles blooming into carna tion roses and her step like the roe on the mountains. Yes, I must see her, my grandmother on ray father’s side, Mary McCoy, descendant of the Scotch. When I first spoke to an audience in Glasgow, Scotland, and felt somewhat diffident, be ing a stranger, I began by telling them my grandmother was a Scotchwoman, and then there went up a shout of welcome which made me feel as easy as I do here. I must see her. Make Religion an Heirloom. Y’ou must see those women of the early part of the nineteenth century and those of the eighteenth century,the answer of whose prayers is in your welfare today. God bless all the aged women up and down the land and in all lands! What a happy thing for Pomponius Atticus to say when making tbe funeral address of his mother. ‘ Though I have reside,! with her 67 years, I was never once reconciled to her, because there never happened the least discord be tween us, and consequently there was no need of reconciliation.” Make it as easy tor the old folks as you can.* When they are sick, get for them the best doctors. Give them your arm when the streets are slippery. Stay with them all the time you can. Go home and see the folks. Find the place for them in the hymnbook. Never be ashamed if they prefer styles of apparel which are a little antiquated. Never say anything that im plies that they are in the way. Make the road for the last mile as smooth as you can. Oh, my, how you will miss her when she is gone! How much would I give to see my mother! I have so many things I would Hke to tell her, things that have happened in the 30 years since she went away. Morning, neon and night let us thank God for the good influences that have come down from good mothers all the way back. Timothy, don’t forget your mother Eunice and don’t forget your ! grandmotner Lois. And hand down to , others this patrimony of blessing. Pass k along the coronets. Make religion an heir | loom from generation to generation. , Mothers, consecrate yourselves to God. and , you will help consecrate all the ages fol > lowing. Do not dwell so much on your hardships that you miss your chance of wielding an influence that shall look down upon you from the towers of an endless future. I know Martin Luther was right when he consoled his wife over the death of their daughter by saying: “Don’t take ’ on so. wife. Remember that this is a hard world for girls. ” Yes, I go further and > say it is a hard world for women. Aye. I go further and say it. is a hard world for men. But for all women and men who trust their souls in the hand of Christ the gates will soon swing | open. Don't you see the sickly pallor on I the sky? That is the pallor on the cold cheek of the dying night. Don’t you see the brightening of the clouds? That is the flush on the warm forehead of the morn ing. Cheer up! You are coming within sight of the Celestial City. O A S ’!• O 3FL X A . Bears she The Kind Yon Have Always Bought 1 T" ' SPECIAL TRAINS i io ths Carnival, Via. Central of Georgia Railway.
