R E V. PR. TALMAG E Tha Hmln.nt Divine'* Sunday Dliooura*. Subject: Thu Welfare of Others — Wo Should Danish Selfishness-Job Dollv- ered From Evil 'When llo Prayed For Friends—Happy From Doing Good. (Copyright l»ou.l 'YASttlNoTON, D. 0.—In this discourse Dr. inlmngo wars on narrowness of view and urges a lifo helpful td others: text. Job xhi, 10, ‘‘And the Lord turned the •capittvitv of Job when ho prayed for his friends.” ^ Comparatively few people read this last <hapter of the book of Job. Tho earlier chapters arc so full of thrilling incident, of events so dramatically portrayed, of awful ailments and terrific disaster, of domestic infelicity, of staccato passage, of resounding address, of omnipotency proclaimed, of utterances showing Job to have been the greatest scientist of his day, an expert In mining and precious stones, astronomer, and geographer, and zoologist, and electrician, and poet, that most readers stop before they get to my text, which, strangely and mysteriously, announces that “the Lord turned the cap- tiyity of Job when he prayed for his friends.” Now, will you please explain to mo bow Jobs prayer for his friends lmltdd his catastrophes? Give me somo good reason why Job on his knees in behalf of the welfare of others arrested the long pro cession of calamities. Mind you. it was not prayer for himself, for then the cessa tion of his troubles would have been only -another instance of prayer answered, but the portfolio of his disaster was rolled up while ho supplicated God in behalf of Eli- phaz the Tomanite, Bildid the Shuhitc, and Zophar the Naamathite. I must con fess to you that I had to read tho text over and over again before I got its full meaning—“And the Lord turned the cap tivity of Job when he prayed for his friends.” Well, if you will not explain it to mo, I will explain it to you. The healthiest, tho most recuperative thing on earth to do is to stop thinking so much about ourselves and go to thinking about the welfare of others. Jcb had been studying his misfor tunes, but the more he thought about his bankruptcy the poorer he seemed, tho more he thought of his carbuucles tho worse ihey hurt, tho more he thought of his unfortunate marriage the more in tolerable became tho conjugal relation, tho more ho thought of his houso blown down tho more terrific seemed the cyclone. His misfortunes grew blacker and blacker, but there was to como a reversal of theso ead conditions. One day ho said to him self: “I havo been dwelling too much upon my bodily ailments and my wifo’s temper and my bereavements. It is time I began to think about others and do something for others, and I will start now by p eying for my three friends.” Then Job dropped upon his knees; and as ho did so that last shaclclo of his captivity of trouble snarped and fell off. Hear it, all ye ages of time and all ye ages of eternity, ■“the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends.” The fault with most of us is too much self concentration—our health, our for tunes, our advancement, our social posi tion, our achievements, our losses, our de feats, our sufferings, our persecution, o.ur life, our death, our immortality. Of courso there is a lawful and righteous selfishness, in a world and in a time of such activities and rivalries and temptations we must look after our own interests and our own destiny or wo will go under. Do ’not ’wait for others to tako caro of you. Take .care of yourself. But it will not hinder our preservation and prosperity if we enlargo the sphere of our wishes and prayers so os to take in oth ers. The law in the natural world would do well for the moral and spiritual world. The centripetal force in nature would throw everything in toward the center, and the centrifugal force in nature would throw everything out from the center, but tho centripetal and the centrifugal work beautifully together.' The one force that would throw everything toward the cen ter is balanced by the force that would throw everything outward. Our world, with its own interests, feels the puli'o£ other worlds. /No world, no nation, no community, no man, no woman, chn afford to exist only for itself or him self or herself. The hour in which Job has that soliloquy about the enlargement of his prayers so as to take in his friends and he put into execution his good resolu tion was the hour when he felt a tonic, a sedative, a nervine, a cataplasm, that helped to cure his body and revived his fortunes till they were a hundred per cent, better than ever before, for tho record is “the Lord gave Job twice as much ns he had before,” and tended to make him a wonder of longevity, for he lived 140 years after his troubles were gone. Oh, what a mighty medicament is the contemplation of and the effort for the welfare of others 1 “But,” says some one, “it was easy enough for Job to pray for his friends. Anybody can do that. There are th'osn to whom we are obligated for years of kindness. They stand so close to us in sympathy and reminiscence and antici pation that it is easy for uu to pray for their welfare.” Well, I see you do not understand that theso friends of Job were the most tantalizing and exasperating friend? a man ever had. Look at their behavior. When they heard of liis be reavements and the accidents by whirl wind and lightning stroke, they came in and sat down by him a whole week, sev en days and seven nights, and the record is “none spake a word to him.” What a disreputable and wicked silence 1 Mind you, they professed to bo religious men, and they ought to have been able to offer come religious consolation. Instead of that thev were dumb as the sphinx which at that time stood in the African desert and stands there still. Why did they not say something about reunion in the heaven ly realms with his children, who had been elain? Why did they not talk to him about the satisfactory explanations in the future world .of things we do not under stand in this world? Wjiy did they not S o to the apothecary and buy a poultice bat would have soothed the carbuncles, or some quieting potion that would calm hi, nervei. or afow drop* of febnbuge that would, cool h« h^ted frame. No! ^Aftc-r theso three friendB had completed their infamous silence of a ■week they be- can to lecture Job. F ret Elipbass the •Penmnite opens with a long story about ailream which he had n the night and ir ritates the sufferer with words that make thines worse instead of better, and sets liim'in an attitude of defe^S against the lecturer. Then comes Bildad the Shuhite, who gives the invalid a rognd scolding and calls him garrulous and practically toffs him that ha deserved all that he had,got and that if ho had behaved himself aright he would not have lost his house or his Jto'f™"- an N oUu^Mndjma. calls out the .other quondam friend, Zophar tho IJutu-paVhiiv, tfho be gins denouncing Job by calling him a liar and keeps on the discourse until Job re sponds to all three of them in tho sar castic woydg, “No doubt but ye are tho people, and wisdom shall die with you.” Oh, what friends Job had! Heaven deliver us frbm having one such friend, to Ray nothing of having throo of them. It was for such friends that Job prayed, and wns it not a religious triumph for him so to do? Would you, the very best of you, bo in a very devout .mood and capable of making intercession for people who had como to you in a day of trouble and Raid: “Good for you. You ought to be chastised. You arc being taken in hand by eternal justice. If you had be haved yourself aright, you would not have been sick or persecuted or impover ished or made childless.” Oh, no, my friend. yoh would not havo felt like Job when bo prayed for his friends, but more like Job when ho cursed tho day of his nativity. You people who weigh over 200 pounds avoirdupois had better never losb your temper, for at such times apoplexy is not far off* Get tho cquiposc of Job in tho text, and it will help you in business di rections. Praying for all offenders, you will havo moro nervo for largo undertak ings; you will havo a better balanced judgment; you will waste no vahiablo time in trying to get even with your enemies. Try this height of prayer for your an tagonist to-day, and if you fail try it to morrow. Keep on until you accomplish it, and I should not wonder if, in addition to tho moral and religious strength it gives you, it should add a hundred per cent, to your worldly prosperity. Job sill. 10, “Tho Lord gavo Job twico as. much as he had before.” What wo all need is to get out of our selves and go to helping others, whether friends or., foes. As beautiful an instance of how this can bo done I found last summer in London in the person of Flor ence Nightingale, the hcroino of hospitals and of battlefields when there were no hospitals. Tho loungo on which she lies prostrate is a throne of power, end, though she has passed into the eighties,, she trains nurses for sickbeds, and her in fluence is now felt among tho wounded in South Africa, while her memory is full of the story of Balaklava, Sevastopol and Inkerman. wlioro England and Franco and Russia grappled. Sho told mo that she had not been happy until sho under took to allcviato suffering and theft since she began that work sho had never scon an unhappy day. To that work sho con secrated her life, her classic attainments, her social position, hor brilliant person ality. Her whole lifo for others, and her faco shows it. I think so much of heaven is to bo found in no other human coun tenance. Tennyson’s “Chnrgo of the Light Brigade” is not moro thrilling to mo than tho womanly bravery and sacrifice that took care of those who were shot from tho saddles -of tho “Immortal six hun dred.” My text enthrones prayer and gives it a scepter to wavo over our temporal and eternal life. Under God it cured Job and fixed up his finances and restored his home and made him so robust of health that he lived fourteen decades. “But/ some one says, “I do not believe in prayer for friends and foes, because I do not think that God is going to change the laws of naturo bocauso we ask Him so to do.” Neither do I think that God will change the law of nature at our request, but I am sure that Ho answers prayer through natural law. Not a physician of any skill ? allopathic, or homeopathic, or hydropathic, or eclec tic, but has some time been surprised that what was thought to bo a fatal disease suddenly relaxes its graps of tho patient, and he recovers. Not oue law of nature lias been fractured. Prayer may havo given tho Budden turn to that illness. A business man may bo in difficulty in extricable—mortgages against him fore closing, goods to bo sola for somo reason become unsalable, new invention in ma chinery making the old machinery of his factory worthless, all kinds of commer cial troubles pouncing uppn him at once. _ Most business men havo at least onco in their lives been put in such agonizing crisis,, but tho harried merchant or manu facturer gets out of it. Creditors, become lenient, the wheels that were made use less for making one kind of fnbrio turn out to bo good for making another stylo of fabric, the stock of goods that could not be sold comes into unexpected de mand, and whereas all things wero against him all things are now for him. What an opportunity is prayerl Why not oftener use it praying for ourselves and, liko Job, praying for others? What better work would we do, wlmt better lives would wo live, what better hopes would wo entertain, if we multiplied and intensified our prayers 1 Some one asked a soldier of Stonewall Jackson the secret of the great general’s influence over his men. “Hoes your gen eral abuse you, swear at you, to make you march?” “Swear!” replied tho soldier. “No! Ewell docs tho swearing;! Stone wall does the praying. When Stonewall wants us to march ho looks at us soberly, just as if he were sorry for us, and says, ‘Men, wo havo got to make a long march.’ We always know when there is going to be a long march and' right smart fighting, for Stonewall is powerful on prayer just before a big fignt.” When Stonewall Jackson was asked the meaning of the passage “instant in prayer," ho said: “If you will not mistake and think I am set ting myself up as an example, wlijch I am not, I will give an illustration from my own habit. I havo so fixed the habit of prayer in my mind that I never raiso a glass of water to my lips without a mo ment's asking of God's blessing; I never seal a letter without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward; I never change my classes in the section room without a minute’s petition for the cadets who go out and those who come in." Now, if God has during theso remarks shown us the uses, the importance, the blessedness of prayer, suppose we try to do what Job did when he prayed lor his exosperators. Many of us at the begin ning of this subject felt that whilo wo could pray for ourselves and pray for those who wero kind to us we never could reach the high point of religious expe rience in which we could pray for those who annoy us and make us feel worse in stead of feeling better. That was a Mat terhorn, that was an Alp, to the top of which we feared we could never climb, but we thank God that by His omnipo tent grace we have reached that height at last. Let us pray! Oh, Christ, who didst pray for Thine pray for those w say all manner their - eternal salvation we supplicate. Wheii time is no more, may they reign on thrones and wear coronets and sway sceptres of heavenly dominion. Mean while tako tho bitterness from their soul and make them soon think as well of us as-now they think,evil. Spare their bodies from pain and their households from be reavement. After all the misunderstand ings and controversies of this life are over may we keep with them eternal jubilee in the mansions on the hill, and as Thou didst turh tho captivity of Job when Ho had prayed for those who badly used him, and health came to his body and prosper ity to his estate, now that wo have by Thy grace been able to make supplica tion for oiir antagonists, cure our dis eases. if we-pro ill, and restore our estate, if it has been scattered; and awaken glad ness in our homesteads, if they have been bereft; and turn the captivity of our phys ical pain or financial misfortune or mem- tol distress, and Thine shall be the king dom and the power and glory, forever and offer. Amen! , assassins, we now pray for those who dcspitefully use us and of evil against us. For THE CZAR AT HOME, The Rostlan Coart. the Moat Magnificent In the World.

Tho aspect of tho armorial hall, where tho supper Is often laid, Is grand boyond all description. This moal Is not partaken of standing, ns at tho majority of courts, but the guests sit down at tlio long rows of tnblos.

Of course, an immense quantity of plato Is displayed. This and tho china that is also used aro noted throughout Huropo for tholr richness and beauty. Thero Is ono service alone, capable of dining COO persons, that Is composed entirely of tlio purest silver overlaid with gold. Added to all this, the uso of a variety of the choicest fruits and tho rarest flowers, among which orchids figure largely, makes the scene ono of tho most gorgeous maguiSconce. During tho evening a stato progress through tho suito of rooms Is made by tho Im perial personages and tho chlof officers of tho housohold, tho guests forming up into a long avenue on olther side. Ono special featuro is that two or throo of the largest halls In tho palaco aro on tho occasion of tho ball fitted up or a huge conservatory; palms, ex otics. ferns, banks of flowers and even fruit trees bolng transplanted thither with tho moat marvelous offoct.
