Text: “The mifel K ned fnltli that Is In
thee, which dwelt first In thy grandmother
IiOls.”—II Tim. I., 5.
In this pastoral letter which Paul, the
old mlnlstur, Is writing to Timothy, the
young minister, the family record Is
brought out. Paul practically snys: ''Tim
othy, what a good grandmother you hadl
You ought lo ho better than most folks, be-
enuso not only was your mother good, but
your grandmother was good also. Two
preceding generations ot pioty ought to
give you a mighty push iu tho right direc
tion.” The fact was thnt Timothy needed
encouragement, llo was In poui : hb" u h.
Jiavlug a weak stomn:!i, «t!l was a dys-
peptic, and Paul prescribed for hlai a
tollle, “a little wine for thy stomach's
mH.0”—not much wluc| but a little wlao
Tend only as a modlolne, And if the wine
then bud beon as rauoh adulterated with
logwood and rtrychnlao as our modern
wines, ho would not havo prescribed any.
Bat Timothy, not strong pliysloully, Is
encouraged spiritually by the recital of
grandmotherly excellence, Paul him lag to
him, as I hlut this day to you, that Hod
somotlmos gathers up us In a reservoir,
away back of tho active generations of to
day, a godly Influence, and then in re
sponse to prayer lets down tho power upon
children and grandchildren anil great
grandchildren. Tho world is woefully In
want o! a table of statistics In regard to
what Is tho protruetodnoss and Immensity
of inlluuneo or one good woman In the
church and world. IVe have accounts ot
how much evil has boon wrought by a
woman who lived noariy a hundred years
ago, nud of how many criminals her de
scendants furnlshuil lor tile penitentiary
and tho gallows, atnl how many hundreds
of thousands ol dollars they cost ourcoiin-
try in their arraignment and prison sup
port, ns well ns 111 the property they bur
glarised and destroyed. But will not some
one come out with brain comprehensive
enough, anil heart warm enough, and pen
keen enough to give us tho fuels In regard
to some good woman ot a hundred years
ago, and let us know how muuy Christian
men nud womou and reformers nud useful
. people have boon found among her de
scendants, nud how many asyiums and
colleges and’Ohurohes they built, and how
many millions of dollars thoy contributed
for lmmarltnrlan and Christian purposes?
The good women wnosu tombstones wore
planted lu the eighteenth century are more
alive for good In tho nineteenth ooulury
than they were before, as tho good women
oltbe nineteenth century wlllbe more alive
for good in the twentieth century than
now. Mark yon, l have no Idea that the
grandmothers were any better than their
granddaughters. You cannot get very old
peoplo to talk much about how tilings wore
when they were boys and girls. They have
n reticence anil a non I’ominlUiilisin which
makes mo think that they feel themselves
to bo tho custodlnuB of the reputation of
their early ooiivwtdee. While -our dear
old folks are rehearsing the follies of tbo
present, if wo put thorn ou witness-stand
and cross-examino them us to how things
weroHovonty years ago tho silence becomes
oppressive.
The celebrated Fronchmon,Volnoy,visited |
this country »in 171HJ, and ho says of worn-
nn’rf diet in those times: “If a premium
was oiYerod for a regimen most destructive
to health, none could bo devised more elll-
cucIoub lor those ends than that in use
among these people.’’ That eclipses our lob
ster salad at midnight. Everybody talks
about the dissipation of modern society and
how wo'nmuly health goes down under it,
but it was worse a hundred years ago, for
the cbnphia of a French regiment in our
Itevolutionury War wrote in. J782, in ills
“Book of American Women,” saying: “They
are tall and well-proportioned, their fea
tures are generally regular, their complex
ions are generally fair and without color.
At twenty years of age the women have no
longer the freshness of youth. At thirty or
forty they are decrepit.” In 1812 a foreign
consul wrote a book entitled, “A Sketch of
the United States at the Commencement of
the Present Century,” ami he says of the
women of those times: “At the age of thir
ty ull their charms have disappeared.” Ono
glance at the portrhits of the women a hun
dred years ago and their stylo of dress
makes us wonder how thoy ever got their
breath. All this makes me think that the
express rail #raia is no more an improve
ment ou the ola canal boat, orthotolegraph
no more an improvement on tho old-tiipe
saddle-bags, than the women of our day
nro an improvement on the women of the
lust century.
But still, notwithstanding that thoso
times were so much worse thau ours, there
wus a glorious race of godly women, sev
enty and a hundred years ago, who held
the world back from sin and lifted it to
ward virtue, and without their exulted and
sanctified inilueuco before this the Inst good
influence would havo perished from tho
earth. Indeed, ail over this lund thore nro
seated to-day—not so much in churches,
lor many of them are too feeble to come—a
great mimv aged grandmothers. They
sometimes leol that the world bus gone
past them, and they havo an idea that they
nro of little account. Their bead some
times gets aching from the racket of tho
grandchildren down-stairs or in the noxt
room. They steady themselves by the
banisters ns they go up and down. When
they get a cold it hangs on them longer
than it used to. They cannot bear to have
the grandchildren punished even when
they deserve it, nnd have so relaxed
their ideas oT family discipline that thoy
would spoil all the youngsters of the house
hold by too great leniency. These old
folks aro tbo resort when great troubles
come, and there is a calming and soothing
power iu tho touch of an aged hand that is
almost supernatural. They feel thoy are
almost through with the journey of life
and read the old Book more than they used
to, linrdly knowing which most they enjoy,
the Old Testament or tho New, and often;
stop and dwell tearfully over the family
record half-way between. Wo hail them
to-day, whether iu the house of God or at
tho homestead* Blessed is that household
that bns in it a grandmother Lois* Where
sho is, angels aro hovering round.
Is it not time that you and I do two
things—swing open a picturo-gfillery of tho
wrinkled faces and stooped shoulders of
the past, and call down from their heavenly
thrones the godly grandmothers lo give
thorn our thanks, and tLen to persuade tho
mothers of to-day that they are living for
nil time, and that against tho sides of jvery
cradlo iu which u child is rocked beat the
two eternities?
Here wo havo an untried, UDdiscussed
and unexplored subject. You often hoar
about your inilueuco upon your own chil
dren; 1 am not talking about that. Wiiat
about your inilueuco oa the twentieth cen
tury, upon tho thirtieth century, upon the
fortieth century, upon the year two thou
sand; upon the year four thousand, if the
world lasts so long? The world stood four
tliousnnd years before Christ came; it Is
not unreasonable to suppose that it may
stand four thousand yeais after His
arrival. Four thousand years the world
swung oft iu sin, four thousand years it
may be swinging back into righteousness.
By the ordinary rate of multiplication of
the world's population in a century, your
descendants will bo over three hundred,
nnd by two centuries over fifty thousand,
and upon every one of them, you, the
mother of to-day, will havo an influence for
good or evil. A nd if in lour centuries your
descendants shall have with their names
filled a scroll of hundreds of thousands,
will some angel from heaven, to whom Is
given tho capacity to calculate tho num
ber of tho stars of heaven and the sands
of the seashore, stop down au<l tell us how
many descendants you will have in tho
foue thousandth year of tho world’s pos
sible continuance? Do not let the grand
mothers any longer think that they r.re re
tired, and sit clear back out of sight from
the world, feeling that they have no re
lation to it. The mothers of the lost century
am to-day in the person of their de
scendants, in the 8euates, tho Parlia
ments, the palaces, the pulpits, tho banking
houses, the professional chairs, the prisons,
the almshouses, tho company of midnight
brigands, the cellars, the ditches ot this
century. You havo been thinking about
the importance of having the right in
fluence upon one nursery. You lmvo been
thinking of tho Importance of getting thoso
two llttlo feet on tho right until. You lmvo
been thinking of your child’s destiny for
the next eighty years, if it should pass on
to be an octogonnrlnu. Thnt is well, but
my subject swoops a thousand yonrs. a
million years, a quadrillion of years. I
canuot stop at ono cradle, I iun looking at
tho cradles that roach all around tho
world and across all time. I am not talk
ing of mother Eunice. I am talking of
grandmother L?’*.
Good or bad Influence mny skip ono gen-
ratlou or two generations, but it will bo
sure to land in tho third or fourth genera
tion, just as tho Ten Commandments,
speaking of tho visitation of God on fam
ilies, says nothing about tho second gen
eration, but entirely sklpg the second?, nnd
spoakij of tho third nud fourth generation:
“Visiting the iniquities of tho fathers upon
tho third and fourth generation of them
that hate me.” Parental influence, right
fthd wrong, may jump over a genoratlou,
but It .will come down further on as sure as
you sit tlioro and 1 stnnd here. This ex
plains what wo often seo— somo limn or
woman dlstluguishod for honovoleneo when
the father and mother were distinguished
for penuriousnoss, or you see some yonug
man of woman with a bad father and a
hard mother come out gloriously for Christ,
ami make the Church sob and shout nnd
sing under their exhortations. \y« stand
in corners of tho vestry and whisper over
tho matter, and say, “IIow Is this, such
groat plot? In sons and daughters of such
parental worhllinoss and sin?” I will ex
plain ft to you if you will fotch mo tho old
family Bible containing tho full record.
Lot somo septuagenarian look with mo
clear upon tho page of births and mar
riages, nnd toll me who that woman was
wltti tho ffid fashioned name of Jemima
or Betsy or Mohitabel. Ah, there she is,
tho old grandmother, or groat-grund-
mother, who lmd enough religion to sat
urate a century.
Tliero she is, tho dear old soul, Grnnd-
mothor Lois. In beautiful Greenwood
Cemetery thoro Is tho resting place of
Goorgo W. Bethuno, once a minister of
Brooklyn Heights, his name never spoken
among intelligent Ainerloans without sug
gesting two thlngs--eloquoneo and evan
gelism. In the same tomb sleeps his grand
mother, Isabella Graham, who was the
ohlel inspiration of his ministry. You are
uot surprised at the poetry and pathos and
pulpit powor of the grandson when you
read of the faith and devotion of his won
derful ancestress. When you read this let
ter, in which sho poured out her widowed
soul In longings for a son’s snlvntion, you
will not wonder that succeeding genera
tions havo boon blessed:
New Yoiik, May 20, 1791.
This day my only son loft me iu bitter
wringing* oT heart: ho is again launched
on the o?ean—God’s ocean. The Lofd
saved him from shlpwroek, brought him to
my home, and allowed mo ouoo moro to In
dulge my affection over him. Ho has been
with tno but a short time, nud 111 have I
improved it; he is gone from my sight, and
my heart bursts with tumultuous grief.
Lord, have mercy Ou the widow’s son, “tho
only son of his mother.”
I ask nothing In tills world for him; I re
peat my petition, Save his soul alive, give
him salvation from sin. It Is not dnugerof
the seas that distresses me; it is not tho
hardships ho must undergo; it is not the
dread of never seeing him more in this
world; It is beoause l cannot discern tho
fulfilment of the promise in lilra. I oannot
discern the new birth nor Its fruit but every
symptom of captivity to sutnii, tho world,
nud self-will. Tills, this is what distresses
mo; nnd in connection with this his being
shut out from ordinances at a distance
from Christians; shut up with thoso who
forgot God, profnue His name, and break
His Sabbaths; men who often live and die
like boasts, yet are accountable creatures,
who musi answer for every moment of time
nnd every word, thought and action. O
Lord, ninny wonders hast thou shown me;
Thy ways of deuling with me and mine have
not been common ones; ndd this wonder to
tho rest. Call, couvert, regenerate and es
tablish a sailor in tho faith. Lord, all
things are possible with Thee; glorify Thy
Hon nnd extend His kingdom by sea and
laud; take tho prey from tho strong. I roll
him over upon Thee. Many friends try to
comfort me; miserable comforters aro they
all. Thou art the God of consolation; only
oonflrtn to me Thy precious word, on which
Thou causedst me to hope in tho day when
Thou saidst to me, “Leave thy fatherless
ebild!*n, I will preserve them nlivo.” Only
lot this life bo a spiritual life, and I put a
blank in Thy liana ns to all temporal things.
, I wait for Thy saltation. Amen.
With such a grandmother, would you
not have a right to expect a George W.
Bethuno? And all tho thousands converted
through ids ministry may date tho saving
powor back to Isabella Graham.
God 1111 tho eartli and the heavens with
such grandmothers; wo must somo day go
up nnd thank these dear old souls. Surely
God will lot us go up and tell thorn of the
results of their influence. Among our first
questions in Heaven will bo, “Wliero Is
grandmother?” They will point her out,
for we would hardly know her, even if wo
.had soeu her on earth, so bent over with
years once and thoro so straight, so dim of
eye through tho blinding of earthly tears
ami now her eye ns clear in Heaven, so
full or ashes and pains ouco and now so
agile with celestial health, tho wrinkles
blooming Into -carnation roses, ami her
step like the roe on the mountains. Yes, I
must seo hoc, my grandmother on my
father’s side, Mary McCoy, descendant of
the Scotch. When! llrst spoke to tin audi
ence in Glasgow, Scotland, nnd felt some
what dlflldeiit, .being a stranger, I began
by telling them my grandmother was a
Scotchwoman, ami then thore wont up a
shout of welcome that made me foil as
easy as.I do here. I must see her.
Make it as easy for the old folks as you
can. When they are‘sick, got for them the
best doctors. Find the place for thorn In
tho hymn book. Never bo ashamed if they
prefer styles ot apparel winch are a little
antiquated. Never say anything that im
plies that tli'-y are in the way. Make tho
road for the last mile as smooth ns you can.
Oli, my! how you will miss her when she
is gone! How much would I give to see
mv mother! I havo so mauv things I
would like to tell her, tilings Unit have
happenod in the thirty years since she
went away. Morning, noon nud night let
us thank God for the good influences that
have come down from good mothers all
tlie way back. Timothy, dou’t forget your
mother, Eunice, and don’t forget your
grandmother Lois.
Mothers,consecrate yourselves to God and
you will help consecrate all tHo ages fol
lowing! Do not dwell so mueli on your
hardships that you miss your chance of
wielding an influence that shall look down
upon you from the towers of nu endless
future. I know Martin Luther was right
whoa he consoled ills wife over the dentil
of their daughter by saying: “Don’t take
on so, wife; remember that this is a bard
world for girls.” Yes, I go further and
say, It is a bard world for women. Ay, I
go further and say, It is a hard world for
men. But for ml women and men who
'vast their bodie.s and souls iu tho hand of
Christ tho shining gates will soon swing
ojien. Don’t you see the sickly pallor on
the sky? That is the pallor on the cold
cheek of the dying night. Don’t ^’ou see
the brightening of the clouds? Thai, is the
flush on tho warm forehead of tho inern*
iug. Cheer up, you .are coming wit bin
sight o' tho Celestial City.

Interfered with by the telephone bell.
So the directors considerately ordered

that they cannot be cured. It is true,
that had they taken a remedy that was
efficient when the first symptomsof dis
ease appeared, u more rapid cure would
have been the result. No woman should
neglect herself. When the monthly pe
riod becomes too frequent, painful, pro
fuse. obstructed, or irregular In any way,
or if she suffers from falling of the womb,
whites, or any (fiber female trouble,she
should at once resort to the use of

been negligent and allowed disease to fasten itself upon her she should not de

those ingredients intended by nature as a remedy for suffering women. It mat
ters not if other remedies have been tried and proven failures—Gerstle's Fe
male Panacea will not fall. If there is any tendency to costiveness, indi
digestion or biliousness, move the bowels gently with a few mild doses of St.
