Tlie Chariot of Trlutiipli-Uflii--
■ jon Represents Life, Not the Grave—
■ advice About Physical Health and a
H I'reseription For Prolonging Life.
K [Copyright, Louis Kfupscti, 18? p.;
lif ashing ro.v, D. C.—ln this discourse
■nr Tahnage gives prescriptions for the
■ ciolongatiou of life and preaches the gos-
ILj of physical health. The text is Psalms
I Lj,. 16, “With long life will I satisfy him.”
■ Through the mistake of its friends relig-
Ijon has been chiefly associated with sick
■ ], e ds and graveyards. The whole subject
Ito many people is odorous with chlorine
I and carbolic acid. There are people who
I c anuot pronounce the word religion with-
I out liearing in it the clipping chisel of the
I tombstone cutter. It is high time that
I tiiis thing were changed and that religion,
I instead of being represented as a hearse to
I carry out tlie dead, should be represented
I as a chariot in which the living are to
I triumph.
F.eligiOD, so far from subtracting from
one’s vitality, is a glorious addition. It is
sanative, curative, hygienic. It is good for
the eyes, good for the ears, g-ood for the
spleen, good forthe digestion, good for the
nerves, good forthe muscles. When David
in another part of the psalm prays that re
ligion may be dominant, he does’not speak
of it as a mild sickness or an emanciatiou
or an attack of moral and spiritual cramp.
He speaks of it as “the saving health of all
nations,” while God in the text promises
longevity to the pious, saying, “With long
life will I satisfy him.” The faet is that
men and women die too soon. It is high
time that religion joined the hand of medi
cal science in attempting to improve human
longevity. Adam lived S3O years. Methuse
lah lived 959 years. As late in the historv
of the world as Vespasian there were at
one time in his empire forty-live people ISS
years old. So far dowu as the sixteenth
century Peter Zartan died at ISS years of
age. Ido not say that religion will ever
take the race back to antediluvian longe
vity, but I do say the length of life will be
increased.
It is said in Isaiah, “The child shall die
a hundred years old.” Now, if, according
{o Scripture, the child is to be a hundred
years old, may not the men aud women
reaeii to 300 and 400 and 500? The fact is
that, we are mere dwarfs aud skeletons
compared with some of the generations
that are to come. Take the African race.
They'have been under bondage for centur
ies. Givo them a chance, and they de
velop a Frederick Douglass cr a Toussamt
L’Ouverture. And, if the white race shr.lt
be brought from under the serfdom of sin,
what shall be the body, what shall be the
soul? Religion has only just touched our
worijl. Give it full power for a few cen
turies, and who can tell what will be the
strength cf man and the beauty of woman
and the longevity of all?
My design to show that practical religion
is the friend of long life. I prove it, iirst,
from the fact that it makes the care of our
health a positive Christian duty. Whether
tve Shall keep early or late hours, whether
we shall take food digestible or indigesti
ble, whether there shall bo thorough or in
complete mastication, are questions very
often deferred to the realm of whimsicality.
But the Christian man lifts this whole
problem of health into the accountable and
the divine. He says, “God has given me
this body, and He has called it the temple
of the Holy Ghost, and to deface its altars,
or mar its walls, or crumble its pillars, is a
God defying sacrilege.” He sees God’s
caligraphy in every page, anatomical
and physiological. He says, “God has
given me a wonderful body for
noble purposes”—that arm with thirtytwo
curious bones wielded by forty-six curious
muscles and ail under the brain’s teleg
raphy, 350 pounds of blood rushing through
the heart every hour, the heart in twenty
four hours beating 100,000 times, during
the twenty-four hours the luug3 taking iu
fifty-seven hogshead of air, and all this
mechanism not more mighty than delicate
and easily disturbed and demolished. The
Christian man says to himself, “If I hurt
my nerves, if I hurt my brain, if I hurt
any of my physical faculties, I insult God
and call for dire retribution.” Why did
God ted the Levites not to offer to Him in
sacrifice animals imperfect and diseased?
He meant to tell us iu all the ages that we
are to offer to God our very best physical
condition, and a man who through irregu
lar or gluttonous eating ruins ills health is
not offering to God such a sacrifice. Why
did I’aul write for his cloak at Troas? Why
should such a great man as Paul be anx
ious about a thing so insignificant as an
overcoat? It was because he knew that
with pneumonia and rheumatism he would
not he worth half as much to God and the
church as with respiration easy and foot
free.
An intelligent Christian man would con
sider it an absurdity to kneeiclownat night
and pray and ask God’s protection while
at the same time he kept the windows of
his bedroom tight shut against fresh air.
He would just as soon think of going out
on the bridge between New York and
Brooklyn, leaping off and then praying to
God to keep him from getting hurt. Just
as long as you refer this whole subject of
physical health to the realm of whimsical
ity or to the pastry cook, or to the butcher
or to the baker or to the apothecary or to
the clothier you are not acting like a
Christian. Take care of all your physical
forces —nervous, muscular, hone, brain,
cellular tissue—for all you must be brought
to judgment. Smoking your nervous sys
tem into fidgets, burning out the coating
of your stomach with wine logwooded and
strychnined, walking with thin shoes to
make your feet look delicate, pinched at
the waist until you aro nigh out in two
and neither part worth anything,groaning
about sick headache and palpitation of tins
heart, which you think came from God,
when they came from your own folly!
What right has any man or womau to de
face the temple of the Holy Ghost? What
is the ear? It is the whispering gallery of
the soul. What is the eye? It is the ob
servatory God constructed, its telescope
sweeping the heavens. What is the hand?
An instrument so wonderful that, when
the Earl of Bridgewater bequeathed in ids
will *40,C00 for treatises to bo written ou
the wisdom, power and goodness of God,
Sir Charles Bell, the great English
anatomist and surgeOD, found his greatest
i lustration in the construction of the
human hand, devoting his whole book to
that subject. So wonderful are tuese
bodies that God names His own attributes
after niffereut parts of them. His omnis
cience—it is God’s eye; His omni
presence —it is God’s ear; His omnipotence
—it is God’s arm; the upholstery of the
midright heavens—it is tiie work of God’s
finger'-; his life-giving power—it is tiie
breath of the Almighty; his dominion—
“the government shall be upoa his shoul
der.”
A body so divinely honored and eo di
vinely constructed, let us be careful not to
abuse it. When it becomes a Christian
duty to take care of our health, is not the
whole tendency toward longevity? If I
toss my watch about recklessly and drop it
on the pavement and wird it up any time
of day or night I happen to think of it and
often let it run down, while you are care
ful with your watch and never abuse it and
wind it up just at the same hour every
night and put it ia a place where it will
not suffer from the viol err; changes of at
mosphere,which wateii wiii last the longer?
Common sense answers. Now, the human
body is God’s watch. You see the hands
of tjie watch, you see tiie face of the watch;
but, the beating of the heart is the ticking
of the watch. Be do not let it
rundown.

'■■'i’le we have kiaiwn Who
half their days
tiou.< and indulgence-! Now
religion is a protest against a.’SS^B
tions of any kind. ijH
“But,’' you say, “professors of
have fallen, professors of religion have®?
drunk, professors of religion nave misH
propnated trust funds, professors of reiflß
lon have absconded.” Yes, but tbev
threw away their religion before they dii
their morality. If a man on a White Star
line steamer, bound for Liverpool, in mid-
Atlantic jumps overboard and is drowned
is that anything against the White Star
line s capacity to take the man across the
ocean? And if a mau jumps over the gun
wii6 of his religion and down never
to rise, is that any reason for your believ
ing that religion has no capacity to talrtT
the man clear through? Iu the one case
if he had kept to the steamer, his body
would have been saved; in the other case
if he bad kept to his religion, his morals
would have tieeu saved.
There arc aged people who would have
been dead twenty-five years ago but for
the defenses and the equipoise of religion.
You have no more natural resistance than
hundreds of people who Ho in the ceme
teries, to-day slam by their own vices. The
doctors made their case as kind and
pleasant as they could, aud it was called
congestion of the brain or something else,
but the snakes and the blue flies that
seemed to crawl over the pillow in thesight
of the delirious patient showed what was
the matter with him. You, the aged
Christian man, walked along by that un
happy one until you came to the golden
pillar of a Christian life. You went to the
right; he went to the left. That is all the
difference between you. If this religion is
a protest against all forms of dissipation,
then it is an illustrious friend of longevity.
“With long life will I satisfy him.”
Again, religion is a friend of longevity
in tue faet that it takas the worry out of
our temporalities. It is not work that kills
men; it is worry. When a man becomes a
genuine Christian, he makes over to God
not only his affections, but his family, his
business, his reputation, his body, his inind,
his soul, everything. Industrious he will
be, but never worrying, because God is
managing his affairs. How can he worry
about business when in answer to his pray
ers God tells him when to buy aud when to
•ell? Anti it ho gain, that is best, and if he
lose, that is best.
Suppose you had a supernatural neigh
bor who came in and said: “Sir, I want
you to call on me in every exigency. lam
your fast friend. I eould full back on £20,-
000,000. I can foresee a panic ten years. I
hold the controlling stock in thirty of tha
best monetary institutions of New York.
Whenever you aro in trouble cal! on me,
and I will help you. You can have my
money, and you can have my influence.
Here is my hand in pledge for it.” How
much would you worry about business?
Why, you would say, “I’ll do the best I
can, and then I’ll depend on my friend’s
generosity for the rest.”
Now, more than that is promised to every
Christian business man. God says to him:
“I own New York and London and St.
Petersburg aud Pekin, and Australia and
California are mine. I can foresee a panic
a hundred-years. I have all the resources
of the universe, and I am your fast friend.
When you get in business trouble or any
other trouble, call on Me, andl will help.
Hero is My hand in pledgo of omnipotent
deliverance. How much should that man
worry? Not much. What lion will dare to
put his paw on that Daniel? Is there not
rest in this? Is.there not an eternal vaca
tion in this? “Oh,” you say, “here is a taau
who asked God lor a blessing in a certain
enterprise, and he lost £3OOO in ill Explain
that.”
I will. Yonder is a factory, and one
wheel is going north, aud the other wheel
is going south, and one wheel plays
laterally aud the other plays vertically.
Igo to the manufacturer and I say: “O
manufacturer, your machinery is a con
tradiction! Wny do you not make all the
wheels go one way?” “Weil,” he says, “I
made them to go m opposite directions on
purpose, and they pro luce the right re
sult. You go down stairs and examine
the carpets we aro turning cut in this
establishment and you will see.” I go
down on the other floor, and I see the
carpets, and I am obliged to confess that,
though the wheels in that factory go iu
opposite directions, they turn out a beauti
ful result, and while I am standing there
looking ut the exquisite fabric ail old
Scripture passage comes into my mind,
“All things work together for good to
them who love God.” Is there not a tonic
in that? Is there not longevity in that?
Suppose a man is all the time worried
about his reputation? One man says he
lies, another man says he is stupid, an
other says lie is dishonest, and hall a dozen
printing establishments attack him, and he
is in a great state of excitement and worry
and fume and cannot sleep, but religion
comes to him and says: “Man, God is on
your side. He will take care of your repu
tation. If God be for you, who can be
against you?” How much should that mau
worry about his reputation? Not much.
If that broker who some years ago in Wall
street, after he had lost money, sat down
and wrote a farewell letter to his wife be
fore he blew his brains out —if, instead of
taking out of his pocket a pistol, he had
taken out a well read New Testament,
there would have been one le-s suicide.
O nervous and feverish people of tho
world, try this almighty sedative! You will
live twenty-five years longer under its
soothing power. It is not chloral that you
want or morphine that you want. It is the
gospel of Jesus Christ. “With long life
wili I satisfy him.”
Again, practical religion is a friend of
longevity in the fact tiiat it removes all cor
roding care about a future existence.
Every man wants to know what is to lie.
Before I had this matter settle-1 with refer
ence to my future existence the question
almost worried me into ruined health. The
anxieties men have upon this subject put
together would make a martyrdom. This
is a state of awful unhealthiness. There
are people who fret themselves to death
for fear of dying. I want to take the
strain off your nerves and the de
pression off your soul, and I make
two or three experiments. ’Experi
ment first: When you go out of this
world, it does not make any difference
whether you hnve been good or had,
whether you believed truth or error, you
will go straight to glory. “Impossib e,”
you say. “sly common sense as well as
my religion teaches that the bad and the
good cannot live together forever. You
give me no comfort in that experiment.”
Experiment the second: When you leave
this world, you will go into an intermediate
state, where you can get converted and
prepared for heaven. “Impossible,” you
say' “As the tree falletb, so must it
lie, and I cannot postpone to an inter
mediate state reformation which ought
to have been effected in this state.” Experi
ment the third: There i3 no future world.
When a man dies, that is tho last of him.
Do not worry about what you are to do in
another state of being. You will not do
anything. “Impossible,” you say. “There
is something that tells me that death is not
the appendix, but the preface to life.
There is something that tells me that on
this side of tue grave I only get starte.l
and that I shall go on forever. My power
to think says ‘forever;’ ray affections say
‘forever;’ ray capacity to enjoy or suffer,
Jiorever.’”

BEWARE OF SUBSTITUTES.
A Salesman's Bad Break.
Sometimes an agent may praise his
wares so zealously that possible pur
chasers are scared away.
“l'ou say this is good, strong perfum
ery,” said Miss Martha Tibbetts,
doubtfully surveying a bottle of green
ish liquid, “and I see it’s marked ‘real
violet extract,’ and ‘warranted.’ But
it’s a present for my niece—if I buy it
—supposing it lost its smell before
she’d had it a month? I've heard cf
folks being cheated that way.”
“Madam,” said the agent, “fet me tell
you a little story. Last year I sold a
bottle of this perfume to n lady whose
husband was a little peculiar in his
mind; and he took a great distaste to
this delicious invigorating odor, so that
the lady was obliged to secrete the bot
tle in a drawer.
“Six months passed, and one day the
husband chanced upon the bottle, and
in his annoyance, we will say, he
threw it from the window, and it broke
upon the garden wall. And the lady
assured me that three weeks later her
husband removed the stones on which
the perfume had been spilled, and re
placed them with others. I leave you
to draw your own conclusions.”
“Um!” said Miss Tibbetts. “Well,
my niece is married, and I don’t know
just what notions her husband may
have. I guess I’d better not buy any
thing this morning. You see how ’tis,
don’t you?”
Enormous Fees of Cuban Notaries.
One drawback to investment in Cuba
is the uncertainty of titles and the ab
solute authority exercised by the na
tive notaries. According to the old
Spanish laws, which to a great extent
are yet in vogue, the notaries keep all
records of land titles, and from their
decisions there is no appeal. The of
fice has descended from father to son
through many generations, sod, hav
ing had tilings so long their own way,
the incumbents have grown exceeding
ly arrogant, and demand outrageous
fees. For tiie copy of a deed S3OO is
not considered exorbitant. Not long
ago $3,000 actually was paid in Hr
vanna for recording a deed. One thou
sand five hundred dollars or SI,OOO is
the common charge for recording a

Ifr -Mge Captain J. Clif-
notv City Clerk of
Salem, then master of a New York
vessel sailing to China and Japan,
brought home from China a little hen.
He named the bird Ivoo-Koo, for the
town whence she came. lie presented
the hen to his wife, and the bird
gradually became a pet of the house,
like would lay her eggs lu the house.
Captain and Mrs. Entwlsle were in
terested in church and missionary
work. So Mrs. Entwisle conceived
the idea of devoting the proceeds of
the eggs and chickens of Koo-Koo to
line missionary eayse, and for the sev
!hi years little Koo-Koo lived all her
tamings wont to convert Chinese
heathens, and a good many dollars
went that way. The hen became as
much of a pet as a cat or dog. She
would lay her egg and then go out In
to the kitchen and cluck until some one
made a search and found the
egg: then she would fly up on the win
dow sill and peck at the window as a
sign that she wished to go out doors.
Finally little Koo-Koo died, and was
: stuffed and used as an ornament. Mrs.
I Entwlsle wrote a very pretty little
story, founded on this history of Koo-
I ICoo, and sent it out to be read to the
children in the far-away land whence
came the hen. There it took so well
that it was translated into Chinese nnd
read to the little Chinese children in
their own language. It was the story
of a little hen called Koo-Koo, which
undertook to support one little Chinese
girl that she might be educated. It
contained an account of a meeting of
the children cf Koo-Koo, quite a num
erous tribe of various ages.
■ After hearing that story read, a
Chinese boy painted a picture of the
meeting of Koo-Koo and her descend
ants to represent a scene described by
Mrs. Entwisle. It represents the old
hen and three younger ones, with eight
or ten very small chicks. The picture
is made on a sheet of brown paper,
and the hens are almost life size for
Chinese hens. It was sent to the mis-
sionr.ry headquarters in Boston first,
and yesterday was sent down to Mrs.
Entwisle, by whom it is highly prized.

The buildings would be a credit to any

consist of horses and mules, and as
the Boers believe that the substitution
of other power would stop the sale of

not grant a concession. Of course an
