Discourse.

of Woman Dl*cu**ed--Her Doufltiioii
|* Home, and There She Should Right
ly Rule—Comforter of the Sick,
[Copyright, Lewis Klopsch, 1898.1
Washington, D. C.—In this discotsrs'e the
opportunities of uaofulness for women are
set forth by Dr. Ta'lmage, und many sym
pathies are stirred and memories recalled.
The text is Solomon’s Songs, vl., 8 . ’“There
are three-scoro -queens.” stroke
So Solomon by one set forth the
imperial character of a true Christian worn
aD. She Is not a slave, not a hireling, not
a subordinate, but u queen. In a former
sermon I showed you that crown und court
ly attendants and imperial wardrobe were
not necessary to make a queen, but that
graces of the heart and life will give coro
nation to any woman. I showed you at
some length that woman’s position WHS
higher in the world than man’s, and that,
although she had often been denied the
right of suffrage, she always, did vote ami
always would vote desire by ought her iniluonoe, be and
that her chief to that she
should have graoe rightly to rule in the
dominion which she has already won. I
boganau enumeration of some of herrights
and now I resume the subject.
In the flrst place, woman has the special
aud the superlative right of blessing aad
comforting the sick. What laud, what
street, what house has not felt the sinkings
of diseuse? Tens of thousandsjof sick bedis!
What shall we do witli them? Shall man,
with Id's rough hand and clumsy foot, go
stumbling around the sickroom, trying to
soothe the distracted nerves and alleviate
the pains of the distressed patient? The
young man at college* may scoff at the idea
of being under material influences, but at
the flrst blast of typhoid fever on his cheek
lie says, “Where is mother.”
It is an awful thing to be ill away from
home ia a strange hotel, once in awhile
men coming in to look at you, holding
their hand over their mouth for fear they
will catch the contagion. How roughly
they turn you in bed! How loudly they
talk! How you long for the ministries of
homel I know one such who went away
from o«e of the brightest of homes for sev
eral weeks’ business absence at the west.
A telegram came at midnight that he was
on his deathbed far awuy from home. By
express train the wife and daughters went
westward, but they went too late. He
feared not to die, but he was in an agony
to live until his family got there. He tried
to bribe the doctor to saake him live a lit
tle longer. He said, “I am willing to die,
but not alone.” But the pulses fluttered,
the ej*es trains closed met and the in the heart midnight, stopped. wife The
express and daughters going westward, lifeless
re
mains of husband and father coming east
ward. Oh, it was a sad, pitiful, over
whelming speotacle! When we nre sick,
we want to be sick at home. When the
time comes for us to die, we want to die at
home. The room may be very humble, and
the faces that look into ours may bo very
plain, but who cares for that? Loving
hands to bathe the temples. Loving voioes
to speak good cheer. Loving lips to read
the comforting promises of Jesus.
Id pur Civil War men cast the cannon,
men fashioned the musketry, men cried to
the hosts, "Forward, march!” men buried
their battalions on the sharp edges of tho
enemy, crying, “Charge, charge!” but
woman scraped the lint, woman adminis
tered the cordials, woman watohed by the
dying couch, woman wroto the last mes

and four men with a spade. We-greeted and

Story is too good to be written any where
save in the chronicles of heaven, of Mrs.
Brady, who come down among the sick in
the swamps of the Chickahominy; of Annie
Bess in the copper shop hospital; of Mar
garet Breckinridge, who came to men who
had been for weeks with their wounds un
dressed-some of them frozen to the
ground, and when she turned them over
those that had an arm left waved it
and filled th* air With their “hurrah!”
—of Mrs. Hodge, who came from Chi
cago with blankets and with pil
lows, until the men shoutod: “Three
cheers for the Christian commission!
God bless the women at home!” then sit
ting down to take the last message: “Tell
my wife not to fret about me, but to meet
me in heaven; tell her to train toil up tho boys
whom we have loved so well; her we
shall meet ngain in the good land; tell iter
to bear my loss like the Christian wife of a
Christian soldier.” and of Mrs. Shelton, in
to whoso 1 face the convalescent soldier
looked and said, “Your grapes and cologne
cured me.” And yo it was also through all
of our war with Spain—women heroic on
the field, braving death and wounds to
reach the fallen, watching by their fever
cots in tho West Indian hospitals or on the
troopships or in our smitten home camps.
Men did their work with shot aad shell and
carbine and howitzer; women did their
work with soeks and slippers and bandages
and warm drinks and Scripture texts and and
gentle stroking of the hot temples
•torios of that land where they never have
any pain. Men knelt down over the
wounded;and said, “On which side did you
fight?” Women knelt down over the
wounded and said: “Where are you hurt?
What nice thing can I make for you to eat?
What makes you cry?” To-night while wo
men are sound asleep in our beds there will
be a light in yonder loft; there will be
groaning down that dark alley; there will
be cries of distress in that cellar. Men will
sleep, and women will watch.
Again, woman has a specinl right to
take care of the poor. There are hun
dreds and thousands of them all over the
land. Thera is a kind of work that men
cannot do for the poor, Hero comes n
group of little barefoot children to the
door of the Dorcas society. They need to
be clothed and provided for. Which of
these directors of banks would knowhow
many ynrds it would take to make that
little girl a dress? fit Which hat of to these that mascu- little
line hands could a would
girl’s head? Which of the wise men
know how to tie on that new pair of shoes?
Man sometimes gives his charity in a rough
way, and it fails like the fruit of a tree in
the east, which fruit comes down so heavily
that it breaks the skull of the man who
Is trying to gather it. But woman glides and
so softly into the house of destitution
finds out all the sorrows of the place aud
puts so quietly the donation on the table
that all the family come out on the front
steps as she departs, expecting that from
under her shawl she will thrust out two
wings and go right up toward heaven,
from whence she seems to have come down.
Can you tell me why a Christian woman,
going down among the haunts of iniquity
on a Christian .errand, never meets with
any indignity? I stood in the chapel cele- of
Helen Chalmers, the daughter of the
brated Dr. Chalmers, in the most aban
doned part of the city of Edinburg, anil I
said to her as I looked around upon the
fearful ^surroundings’ of that place, “Do
you come here nights to hold a service.
“Oh, yes!” she said. “Can it be possible while
that you never meet with an insult
performing this Christian errand?
“Never,” she said, “never.” That young
Woman who has her father by her side,
walking down the street, armed police that at
eaek corner, is not so well defended ns
Chrietath woman who goes forth on gospel
workinto the haunts of iniquity, with carrying the red
the Bibles und bread. God
right arm of His wrath omnipotent would
tear to pieces any ono who should offer in
dignity to her. He would snr'ie him with
lightnings and drown him with floods and
swallow him with earthquakes, and damn
him witfi eternal indignations. Some one
said: “I dislike very much to see that
Christian woman teaching those bad boys
in the mission school. I nin afraid to havo
her instruct them.” “So,” said another
“I man, ”1 afraid irrn afraid, too." Raid tho first.
before am they will hso bad language saiii
they leave the i>l»ce.” “Ah,”
the other man, “lam not afraid of that.
What 1 am afraid of Is that if any of those
hoys should use a bad word In her pros
or.ee the other hoys would tear him to
pieces and kill him on the spot.” That
woman Is the best sheltered who Is shel
tered by the Lord God Almighty, and you
need never fear going anywhere whore
God tolls you to go.
It seems as if tho Lord had ordained
woman for an espeelul work in the solici
tation of charities. Lacked up by barrels
in which there is no flour, and by stoves
In which there is no tire, and by wardrobes
In which there is uo clothes, a woman is
irresistible. Passing on har errand,God says
to her, “You go into that bank or store or
shop^nnd get tho money.” She goes in und she
gets it. Tlio man is hurd-ilsted, but
gets it. Rhe could not help but got it. It
is decreed from eternity abe should get it.
No need of your turning your back aud
pretending you don’t huar; you do hear.
There Is no need of your saying you nre
begged to death. There is uo need of your
wasting your time, and you might as well
submit first as last. You had hotter right
away take down your checkbook, mark
the number of the eheck, fill up the blank,
sign your name aud hand it to her. There
is no need of wasting time. Those poor
children on the baok street have been
hungry long enough, That glck man
must have some farina, That consump
tive must have something to ease his
cough. I meet this delegate of a relief so
ciety coming out of the store of such a
hard-fisted man, aud I say, “Did you get
the money?” "Of course,” she says, “I
got the mouev; that’s wliut I went in for.
The Lord told me to go in and get it, and
He never sends me on a fool’s errand.”
Again, I have to tell you that it is a
woman’s specific right to eomfort under
the stress of dire disitfter. She is culled
the weaker vessel, but all profane us well
as sacred history attests that when the
crisis comes she js better prepared than
man to meet the emergency. How often
you have seen a woman, who seemed to be
a disciple of frivolity aud indolence, under
one stroke of calamity changed to a hero
ine. Oh, what a groat mistake those busi
ness men make who never tell thwir busi
ness troubles to their wires! There comes
some great loss to their store or some of
their companions in business play them a
sad triekj and they carry the burden all
alone. He is asked in the household again
and again, “What Is the matter?” But he
believes it a sort of Christian duty to keep
all that trouble withiB his own soul. Oh,
sir, your flrst duty was to tell your wife all
about itl
Again, I remark it is woman’s right to
bring to us the kingdom of heaven. It is
easier for a woman to be a Christian than
for a man. Why? You say she is weaker.
No. Her heart is mere responsive to the
pleadings of divine love. She is in vast
majority. The fapt that she can more eas
ily become a Christian I prove by the
statement that three-fourths of the mem
bers of churches in all Christendom are
women. So Gad appoints them to be the
chief agencies for bringing this world back
to God. I may stand here and say the soul
is immortal. There is a man who will deny
it. I may stand here and say we are lost
and undone without Christ. There is a man
who will contradict it. I may stand here
and say there will be a judgment day after
awhile. Yonder is some one who will dis
pute it. But a Christian woman in a
Christian household, living in tho faith and
the consistency of Christ’s gospel—nobody
can refute that. The greatest sermons are
not preached on celebrated platforms;they
are preached with an audience of two or
three and in private home life. A consis
tent, consecrated Christian service is an
unanswerable demonstration of God’s
truth.
There are prayers for you to offer, there
are exhortations for you to give, there are
examples for you to sot, and I say now as
Paul said to the Corinthian woman. “What
knowest thou but that thou shalt save thy
husband?” A man was dying and he said
to his wife, “Bebeeon, you wouldn’t let
me have family prayers, you laughed
about all that and you got me away into
worldliness, and now I’m going to die, and
my fate is sealed, and you are the cause of
my ruin!” O woman, what knowest thou
but thou canst destroy thy husband?
Are there not some of you who have kind
ly influences at homo? Are there not some
who have wandered for away from God
who can remember the Christian influences
in their early home? Do not despise those
influences, my brother. If you die without
Christ, what will you do with your moth
er’s prayers,with your wife’s importunities, will
with your sister’s entreaties? What
you do with the letters they used to write
to you, with tho memory of those days
when they attended you so kindly in times
of sickness? Oh, if there be just one strund
holding you from floating off from that
dark sea, I would just like to tuke hold of
that strand now aud pull you totbebeach!
Tor the sake of your wife’s God, for the
sake of your mother’s God, for the sake of
vour daughter’s God, for the sake of your
sister’s God come tills day aud be saved.
Lastly I wish to say that one 0 ! the
specific rights of woman is, through the
grace of Christ, Anally to reach heaven.
Oh, what a multitude of women in heavenl
Mary, Christ’s mother, in heaven, Eliza
beth Ery In heaven, Charlotte Elizabeth In

splendid jewels to build chapels, in heaven,

CHINESE PIRATES.
Their Terrible Crimes and No Less Terrible
Puaisboieat.
“The Srourge of the Eastern Sens”
nre the pirates that infest the China
Seri and the Philippine Islands. John
S. Bewail relates several thrilling stor
ies of the Chinese vikings’ crimes and
their punishment in the “Salt-Water”
Century. red
Soiue of the exploits of these rov
ers are curiously interesting. If any
of my readers have sailed up the Can
ton River they will recall the Chinese
,__. fortress of „ the Boca , r r , ^ ls nt t its S
mouth, on the starboard side as you
enter. Down by the waterside a lenR
vhite parapet stretches along the
shore; at each end a wall of masonry
reaches up the hill, and disappears
over the crest. Whether there is a
fourth wall out of sight, joining the
two and completing the square I do
not remember; but certain British tars
could tell you—if they have lasted
from 1842 till tills present year of
grace. During tho opium war the fort
ress was attacked: but tho storming
party pulled quietly around the head
hmd, and forming on the beach, clam
bered up over the hill, and the flrst
xing tho Celestials knew their foe
was rushing down upon them from the
rear, and within the inclosure. There
was nothing for it but to surrender,
which they did. bristling with wrath
at such a breach of military manners.
“Hiyah! Why you no come front side?
More better tight where we inakee
ready for you!”
But this is a degression. What we
are after is the pirate#. It was an
earlier commandant of this same fort
ress who jrnet with equally bad luck.
One of the fleets appeared in his neigh
borhood, and he sallied out to attack
it. The pirates surrounded him, and
after a furious engagement, which last
ed all day, and with such havoc as may
be left to the imagination, captured
him and whatever fragments of bis
fleet were still afloat. This disaster
was partly avenged the next year,
when the Chinese admiral, with a hun
dred junks, attacked another fleet on
the same eruising-ground. Great num
bers of the pirates were 1 destroyed and
some two hundred taken prisoners.
Those who are familiar with Chinese
methods can easily judge how long, the
two hundred were kept from joining
tlieu 1 bloody comrades in the shades
below. In another encounter not far
from the same place, before the com
batants could close upon one another,
it fell dead calm, whereupon crowds
of the pirates leaped into the sea 1 like
savages, swam to the enemy with their
knives in their teeth, and attacked
them so fiercely that they could not be
beaten off, and actually cut out sev
era junks from the imperial fleet. The
fortunes of war varied. With provok
ing impartiality, and apparently with
no ethical preference, victory would
perch on the standard of the pirate
quite as often as on the banner of the
righteous defenders of their country’s
commerce. We read of whole fleets
engaged, fighting all day and all night,
two (lays, even three days at a time,
two or three hundred junks on a side,
aud a drawn game at the end. No
child’s play this. At one time the ad
miral is lying quiety at anchor among
the islands, when suddenly two hun
dred pirate crafe slip around the head
land, and pounce upon him with an on
set so furious that, in spite of a vigor
ous defense, twenty-five of his fleet
are gone with their captors before he
can get up his anchors and chase them.
These encounters were not confined to
the sea. There were frequent raids on
the villages that lined the harbor and
rivers.

REMARKABLE YIELD Of WHEAT.

States In growing wheat. The Charlotte

and Mr. Fred Oliver 210 acres, making
355 acres o' wheat grown by one man
ager, Mr. Olivor.
This wheat suffered from the execs
give rains and cold weather expsrienc
ed by the whole Winter wheat territory
last Winter, and the yield was cut off
at least 60 prr cant by th? damage d me.

40 to 50 bushels of wheat per acre with
favorable seasons.
The fertilizer used last season cost
$4.00 per acre, and it would no doubt
have given double the yield of wheat,

Elephant’s Flesh as Meat.
There appears to he considerable di
versity of opinion as to the merits of
elephant's flesh. In India and Africa
it is a favorite dish with the natives,
but a European who has traveled
much in Africa says: “I have tasted
elephant over and over ngain. It is
more like soft leather and glue than
anything I can compare it to.” All
other traveler, however, declares that
he caunat imagine how an animal so
coarse and heavy can produce such
delicate and tender flesh. All authori
ties, however, agree in commending
elephant's foot. Even the traveler
quoted above, who compared elephant’s
flesh to leather and glue, admits that
“baked elephant’s foot is a dish fit
for a king. When an elephant is shot
in Africa the flesh is cut into strips
and dried; it is then called “Biltong.”
The elephant foot is cut off from the
knee point, and a hole about three feet
deep is dug in the earth and the sides
of it baked hard with burning wood.
Most of these faggots are then remov
ed and the elephant’s foot placed in
the hole. It is filled up with earth,
tightly packed clown, and a hazing fire
built on top, which is kept burning for
three hours. Thus cooked, the flesh
is like jelly, and can be eaten with a
spoon.. It is the greatest delicacy
which can be given to a wafflr.

not become pregnant.
“Seeing one of your books, I wrote to you telling you
my troubles and asking for advise. You an

the directions faithfully, and derived so
much benefit that I cannot praise 4$*

pound enough. I now find myself I
pregnant and have begun its
use again. I cannot praise it 7
enough.”
Mrs. Perley Moulton,
Thetford, Vt., writes:
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham— '/
I think Lydia E. Pinkham’s 1
Vegetable Compound is an j
excellent medicine. I took ?
several bottles of it before
the birth of my baby and
got along nicely. I had no
after-pains and am now . -
strong and enjoying good
health. Baby is also fat and
healthy."

Mrs. Pinkham— Before tak
ing Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound I was
unable to become pregnant; but since I have used it my
health is much improved, and I have a big baby boy, the joy
and of our home.”
