SubJeeC “Parental Heedlegsneis” — The
Vow of Jeph than Typical of Much That
j* Distressing iu Modern Life-Chil
dren Sacrificed to Worldly Ambition.
Text: “My father, if thou hast opened
[bv mouth unto the Lord, do tb mo ac
-ording to that which hath proceeded out
of thy mouth.”—Judges xi., 36.
jephthahwas a freebooter. Early turned
out from a home where he,ought to have
been cared for, he consorted with rough
men and went forth to earn his living as
best he could. In those times it was con
sidered right for a man to go out on inde
pendent military according expeditions. the 'Jephthoh
was a good man but through to wandering light of
bis dark age, a and
predatory life he became reckless and pre
cipitate. The grace of God changes a
man’s heart, but never reverses his natural
temperament. The Israelites wanted the
Ammonites driven out of their country, so
they sent a delegation to Jephtbah, asking
bira to become commander in chief of all
the forces. He might have said, “You
drove me out when you had no use for me,
and now you are in trouble you want mo
back,” but he did not say that. He takes
command of the army, sends messengers to
the Ammonites to tell them to vndate the
country, and getting no favorable re
sponse, marshals his troops for battle.
Before going out to the war Jephtbah
makes a very solemn vow that if the Lord
will give him tho victory then, on his re
turn home, whatsoever first comes out of
his doorway he will offer in sacrifice as a
burnt offering. The battle opens. It was
no skirmishing ou the edges of dangers, no
unlimbering of batteries two miles away,
but the hurling of men on the points of
swords aud spears until the ground could
no more drink the blood aud the horses
reared to leap over the pile of bodies of
tho slain. In those old times opposing
forces would fight until their swords were
broken and then each one would throttle
his man until they both fell, teeth to
teeth, grip to grip, death stare to death
stare, until the plain was one tumbled
mass of corpses from which the last trace
of manhood he.d been dashed-out.
JephthaU captured wins at his the feet. day. Twenty cities
lay Sound the victory
all through the mountains of Gilead. Let
thetrumpeters call up the survivors. Home
ward to your wives and ohildren. Home
ward with your the glittering treasures.
Homeward to have applause triumphal of an ad
miring nation. Build arches.
Swing out flags all over Mizpah. Open all
your doors to receive the captured treas
ures. ^Through every hall spread the ban
quet. Pile.up the viands. Fill high the
tankards. The nation is redeemed, the in
vaders are routed and the national honor
is vindicated.
Huzza for Jephthnh, the conqueror!
Jephtbah, amid seated the on acclaiming a prancing multitudes, steed, ad
vances
but his eye is not on tho excited populace.
Remembering that he had made a solemn
vow that, returning from victorious battle,
whatsoever first came out of the doorway
of his home that should be sacrificed as a
burnt offering, he has Lis anxious look
upon the door. I wonder what spotless
lamb, what brace of doves, will be thrown
upon.the fires of the burnt offering!
Ob, horrots! Paleness of death blanches
bis cheek. Despair seizes his heart. His
daughter, his only child, rushes out the
doorway tc throw .herself in her father’s
arms and shower upon him more kisses
than there were wounds on his breast or
dents on his shield. All the triumphal
splendor vanishes. Hoi ding back this child
from his heaving breast and pushing tho
locks back from the fair brow and looking
into the eyes of inextinguishable affection,
with choked utterance he says: “Would to
God I lay stark on the bloody plain! My
daughter, my only child, joy of my home,
life of my life, thou art the sacrifice!”
The whole matter was explained to her.
This was no whining, hollow hearted girl
into whose eyes the father looked. All the
glory of sword and shield vanished in the
presence of the valor ot that girl. There
may have been a tremor of the lip, as a
rose leaf trembles in the sough of the south
Wind; there may have been the starting of
a tear like a raindrop shaken from the
anther ot a water lily. But with a self
sacrifice that man may not reach and only
woman’s heart can compass she surrenders
herself to fire aud to death. She cries out
in the words of my text, “My father, if
thou hast opened thy mouthunto the Lord,
do unto me whatsoever hath proceeded
from thy mouth.”
Of course this offering was not pleasing
to the Lord, especially as a provision was
made in the law for such a contingency,
and Jephthah might have redeemed ljis
daughter by the payment of thirty shekels
of silver. But before you hurl your
denunciations at Jephthah’s Cruelty re
member that in olden times, when vows
were made, men thought they must execute
them, perform them, whether they were
wicked or good. There were two wrong
things about Jephthah’s vow. First, be
ought never to have made it. Next, having
made it, it were better broken than kept.
But do not take on pretentious airs and
say, “I could not have done as Jephthah
did.” 1£ in former days you had been
standing On tho banks of the Ganges and
you had been born in Indiu, you might
have thrown your children to the croco
diles. It is not because we are naturally
any better, but because we have more
Gospel light. practical of this
Now I make very use
question when I tell you that the sacrifice
of Jephthah’s daughter was a type of the
physical, mental and spiritual sacrifloe of
ten thousand children in this day. There
are parents all unwittingly bringing to
Leaf upon their children a class of in
fluences which will ns certainly Jephthah’s ruin them
as knife and torch destroyed whole
daughter. While I speak, the
nation, without emotion aud without
shame, looks upon the stupendous sacri
fice.
Iu the first place, I remark that much of
the system of edu:ation iu our day is a
system of sacrifice. When children spend
six or seven hours in school and then must
spend two or three hours in preparation
for school the next day, will you tell me
how much time they will have lor sunshine
and fresh air and the obtaining of that ex
uberance which is necessary for the duties
of coming life? No one can feel more
thankful than I do for the advancement of
common school education. The printing mul
of books appropriate for schools, the
tiplication of philosophical apparatus, the
establishment of normal schools, whicli
provide for our children te-aehers of largest
caliber, are themes on which every philan
thropist ought to be congratulated. But
this herding of great multitudes of chil
dren in ill ventilated schoolrooms and
poorly equipped halls of instruction is
making many of the piaoes of knowledge
in this country a huge holocuust. Polities
in many of the cities gets into educational
affairs and while the two political Jephthah’s parties
are scrabbling for the honors
daughter perishes. It is so much so that
there are many schools in the country to
day wfcich are preparing tens of thousands
of invalid men and women for the future;
so that, in many places, by the time the
child’s education is finished the child is
finished! In many places, in many cities
of the country, there are large cheerful appropria
tions for everything else and ap
propriations, but as soon as the appropria
tion is to be made for tho educational or
moral interests of the city wo are struck
through with an economy that is well nigh
the death of us.
You may flatter your pride by forcing
your child to know more Sban any other
children, but you are making a sacrifice of
that child if by the additions to its intelli
gence you are making a subtraction from
Its future. The chili will .go away from
such maltreatment with no exuber
ance tc fight the battle of life. Such chil-
dren may get along very well whilo you
adopted they have no swarthiness or force
C hU a ? t .? r t0 Uke car(J ot tUcmsolveal

uche or its heart flutter. I hear a great
mni-p man 9 b °? rights, t . b . 1 ' lck and mna Indian’s ’ 8 r | ehts, and rights, China- and

rights! The Carthagenians used to sacri
fice their children by putting them into
the arms of an idol which thrust forth it'
hand. The child was put into the arms of
the idol, and no sooner touched the arm'
than it dropped Into the fire. But it wn»
the art of the mothers to keep the children
smiling and laughing until the moment
they died. There may be a fascination
and a hilarity about the styles of educa
tion of which I am speaking, but It is only
laughter at the fnomeht of sacrifice.
Would God there were only one Jeph
thah’s daughter!
Again, there are many parents who are
sacrificing of their children with wrong sys
tem leniency. discipline—too great rigor or too
great There arechlldrtn in fami
lies who rule the household. The nigh
chair in which the infant sits is the throne,
and tho rattle is fhe sceptre, and the other
children make up the parliament where
father and mother have no vote! Such
children come up to be misoroants. There
Is no chunce in this world for a child that
has never learned to mind. Such people
become the botheration of the church of
God and the pest of the world. Children
that do not learn to obey human authority
are unwilling to learn to obey divine au
thority. Children will not respect parents
whose authority they do not respect. Who
are these young men that swagger through
the street with their thumbs iu their vest
talking about their father as “tho old
man, )l 41 the governor,” “the squire.” “the
old chap ' ” or their mother ns “the old
woman?” They are those who in youth, in
childhood, never learned to respect nu
thority. Eli, having heard that his sous
had died in their wickedness, fell over back
ward aud broke his ncek and died. Well
he might! What is life to a father whose
sons are debauched? The dust of the val
ley is plea3aut to his taste, and the driving
rains that drip through the roof of the
sepulcher are sweeter 'than tho wines of
Helbon.
In our day most boys start out with no
Idea higher than tho nil encompassing dol
lar. They start in an age which boasts it
cun scratch tho Lord’s Prayer on a ten cent
piece and the Ten Commandants on a teu
cent piece. Children, are taught to reduce
morals and religion, timo and eternity, to
vulgar fractions. It seems to be their chief
attainment that ten cents make u dime and
ten dimes make a dollar. How to get
money is only equaled by the other art
how to keep it. Tell mo, ye who know,
what chance there is for those who start
out in life with such perverted sentiments!
The money market resounds again and
again with the downfall of such people. If
I had 11 drop of blood on the tip of a pen, I
would tell you by what awful tragedy many
of the youth of this country are ruined.
Further on, thousands and tens of thou
sands of the daughters of America are
sacrificed to worldliness. They are taught,
to be in sympathy with all the artiflcialties
of society. They are inducted into all the
hollowness of what is called fashionable
life. They are taught to believe that his
tory is dry, but that fifty cent stories of
adventurous love are delicious. With
capacity that might have rivaled a Flor
ence Nightingale in heavenly ministries or
made the father’s house glad with filial
and sisterly demeanor, their life is a waste,
their beauty a curse, their eternity a de
molition.
In the siege of Charleston, during our
Civil War, a lieutenant of the army stood
on the floor beside the daughter of the ex
Governor of the State of South Carolina.
They were taking the vows of marriage.
A bombshell struck the roof, dropped into
the group, and nine were wounded and
slain, among the wounded to death the
bride. While the bridegroom knelt on
carpet trying to stanch the wounds the
bride demanded that the ceremony be com
pleted, that she might take the vows be
fore her departure, and when the minister
said: “Wilt thou be faithful unto
death?” with her dying lips she said:
“I will,” and in two hours she had de
parted. That was the slaughter and the
sacrifice of the body, but at thousands
of marriage altars there are daughters
slain for time and slaiu for eternity.
It is not a marriage. It is a massacre.
Affianced to some one who is only waiting
until his father dies so he can get the prop
erty; then a little while they swing around
in the circles, brilliant circles; then the
property is gone, and, having no power to
earn a livelihood, the twain sink into some
corner of society, the husband an idler and
a sot, tho wife a drudge, a slave and a
sacrifice. Ah, spare your denunciations
from Jephthah’s head aud expend them all
on this wholesale modern martyrdom!
I lilt up my voice against the sacrifice of
children. I look out of my window on a
Sabbath, and I see a group of children un
washed, uncombed, un-Christianized. Who
cares for them? Who prays for them? Who
utters to them one kind word? When the
eitv kew missionary, passing along tho park
iu York, saw a ragged lad and heard
him swearing, he said to him: “My son,
stop swearing! You ought to go to the
house of God to-day. You ought to be
good. You ought to be a Christian.” The
lad looked up in his face and said: ‘’Alii It
is easy for you to talk, well clothed us you
are and well fed. But we chaps hain’t got
no chance.” Who lifts them to tho altar
for bapGsm? Who goes forth to snatch
them up from crime and dentil and woe?
Who to-day will go forth and bring them
into schools and churches? No, heap them
up, great piles of rags and wretchedness
and tilth. Fut underneath them the fires
of sacrifice, stir up the blaze, put on more
fagots, and, while we sit In the churches
with folded arms aud indifference, crime
and disease and death will go on with the
agonizing sacrifice.
During the euriy French revolution at
Bout-ges there was a company of boys who
used to train every day as young sol Jiers,
and they carried u flag, and t!iev had on
the flag this inscription; “Tremble,tyrants,
tremble! We are growing up.” Mightily
suggestive! This generation is passing off,
and a mightier generation is coming on.
Will they be the foes of tyranny, the foes
of sin and the foes of death, or will they
be the foes of God? They are coming
up' I congratulate all parents who are
doing their best to keep their children
away from the altar of sacrifice. Your
prayers are going to be answered. Your
children may wander away from God,
but they will come back again. A voice
comes from the throne to-day, encourag- and
ing you—“I will be u God to thee to
thy seed after thee.” Aud, though when
you lav your head in death there may be
some wanderer of the family far away from
God, and you may be twenty years in
heaven before salvation shall come to his
Peart, he will be brought into the king
dom and before the throne of God you
will rejoice that you were faithful. Como
at last, though so long postponed his com
ing. Come at last!
I congratulate all those who are toiling
for the outcast and the waadering. Your
work will soon be over, but the influence
you are setting in motion will never stop.

How to Save Labor In Spring Clean
ing.
Spring cleaning is no longer the labor it
was in the days of our grandmothers.
W omen understand how to save themselves
by the use of modern conveniences. When
beginning the work everything should be
in readiness— tacks, hammers, brooms,
with a supply all of Ivory Soap (which is the
best for cleaning acid. purposes), Good lime, weather am

should be selected, and only one sunshine or two
rooms cleaned at a time; air and
should be freely admitted.

Agricultural Atachlnery.
Of machinery for digging vegetables
and harvesting corn, grain and other
crops, there is now such a variety that
one is embarrassed to describe it, and
yet it was all unknown one hundred
years ago. The best implement for
harvesting grain three generations ago
was the cradle. This is a scythe hav
ing wooden fingers parallel to and
above the blade to catch the grain as
it was cut, so that it could be laid
straight ou the ground for ease in
gathering it. A single man using a
modern self-binding harvester will cut
and bind twenty times as much grain
In a day as he could cut alone with a
cradle. These machines are sold for
about the same price as a high-grade
bigycle.

Frederick acid Caricatures.
The German Emperor is much more
sensitive to caricature than his ances
tor, the Great Frederick, upon whom it
is understood that he models himself.
That famous King, despot though he
was, would never nave prohibited
Veber’s pictures, which have so tor
mented Kaiser William. On the con
trary, we fancy Frederick would rath
er have invited him to sup at the pal
ace. and thou have scoffed and gibed
at him. It is Macaulay who describes
how, on one occasion, he saw a crowd
staring at something on the walls. He
rode up and found that the object of
curiosity was a scurrilous placard
against him. "Put it lower,” said
Frederick. "My people and I have
come to an agreement which satisfies
us both. They say what they please.
I do what 1 please.” On another occa
sion a bookseller sent to the palace a
copy of one of the most stinging lam
poons tlint ever were written, the
"Memoirs of Voltaire.” The booksel
ler asked if he might be permitted to
sell it. “Do not advertise it in an of
fensive way,” said Frederick, “but sell
it, by all means. I hope it will pay
you well.”—London News.
The Professors Prize.
Not many evenings ago one of Adel
bert's popular professors attended a
social function where the guests play
ed progressive pedro, a game in which
the worthy educator lays no claim to
being an expert. In fact, on the pres
ent occasion he was credited with but
two progressions, a score of really as
tonishing smallness. Naturally, what
is termed the "booby prize” fell to
him, and this time it took the form of
a double yolk egg, with the following
sarcastic legend attached:
“Something you can beat.”
The professor smilingly accepted the
award, aud after it was passed around
and joked upon, he finally slipped it
into the side pocket of his overcoat
and then straightway forgot its exist
ence.
When the party broke up he accom
panied two young ladies to their home.
When they reached the house and the
latchkey was produced and used it
was found that the front door was
stuck so tightly that it refused to yield
to ordinary pressure. So the professor
put his hip agaiust a panel and pushed
hard.

E VERY SUCCESSFUL
farmer who raises fruits,
vegetables, berries or
grain, knows by experience
