Slid Was Prepared.
A certain minister always felt it to
be his duty to give each young couple
a little serious advice before he per¬
formed the marriage ceremony, and for
this purpose he usually took them
aside, one at a time, and talked very
soberly to each of them regarding the
great importance of the step they were
to they take, and tho new responsibilities
were to assume. One day he
talked in his most earnest manner for
several minutes to a young woman who
had come to be married to a bright
looking young man. “I

importance of the step you are taking,
and that you are prepared for it.”
“Prepared,” she said innocently.
“Well, if I ain’t prepared, I don’t
know who is. I’ve got four common
quilts and two nice ones, and four
bran-new feather beds, ten sheets and
twelve pairs of pillow slips, four all¬
linen table cloths, a dozen spoons and
a good six-quarts teakettle. If I ain’t

A Sermon That Mostly Concerns This Life,
Yet Spiritual anil Physical Conditions
Are Largely Dependent Upon Each
Other— A Warning Against Dissipation.
Text; “Till a dart strikes through his
liver.” Proverbs vil., 23.
Solomon’s anatomical and physiological
discoveries were so very great that he was
nearly 800(1 years ahead of the scientists of
iiis day. Ho, more than 1000 years before
Christ, seemed to know about the circula¬
tion of tho blood, which Harvey discovered
1619 years after Christ; for when Solomon
In Ecclesiastes, describing tho human body,
speaks of tho pitcher the three at the fountain leading he
evidently means canals
from the heart that receive the blood like
pitchers. When he speaks in Ecclesiastes
of the silver cord of life, he evidently means
the spinal marrow, about which in our day
Drs. Mayo and Carpenter and Dalton and
Flint and Brown-Sequard have experiment¬
ed. And Solomon recorded in the Bible,
thousands ot years before scientists discov¬
ered it, that in his time the spinal cord re¬
laxed in old age, producing the tremors of
hand and head, “or the silver cord be
loosed."
In the text ho reveals the fact that he had
studied that largest gland of the human
system, the liver, not by the electric light
ot the modern dissecting room, but by the
dim light of a comparatively dark age, and
yet God had seen its important functions body, in the
built castle of the human its se¬
lecting and secreting power, its curious
cells, its elongated branching and tubes, a di¬
vine workmanship in central right and
left lobe and the hopatic artery through
which flow the crimson tides. Oh, this
vital organ is like the eye of God in that it
never sleeps! of it and had noticed
Solomon knew
either in vivisection or post mortem what
awful attacks sin and dissipation make
upon it, until the flat of Almighty God bids
the body and soul separate, and the one it
commends to the grave and the other it
sends to judgment. A javelin of retribu-
tion, not glancing off or making a slight
wound, but piercing it from Bide to side
“till a dart strike through his liver.”
Galen and Hippocrates ascribe to the
liver the most of the world's moral depres¬
sion, and the word melancholy means black
bile. i
I preach to you the gospel diseases of health. In
taking a diagnosis of of the soul
you must also take a diagnosis of diseases
of the body. As if to recognize this, one
whole book of the New Testament was
written by a physician, he discourses Luke was a
medical doctor, and much of
the physical conditions, and he tells of the
good Kamaritan’s medioation and wine, of the
wounds by pouring in oil and
recognizes hunger as a hindrance to hear¬
ing the gospel, so that the 5000 were fed.
He also records the sparse diet of the
prodigal away from home and the extin¬
guished eyesight lets of the beggar by the way-
side, and us know of the Christ hemorrhage
of the wounds of the dying and the
miraculous post mortem resuscitation. Any
estimate of the spiritual condition that
does not include also the physical condition
is When incomplete. doorkeeper of Congress

dead from excessive joy because Burgoyne
had surrendered at Saratoga, and Philip
V., of Spain, dropped dead at the news of
his country’s defeat in battle, and Cardinal
Wolsey faded away as the result of Henry
VIII.’s anathema, it was demonstrated that
the body and soul are Siamese twins, and
when you thrill the one with joy or sorrow
you thrill the other. We may as well recog¬
nize the tremendous fact that there are two
mighty fortresses in the the human the body, the
heart and the liver, heart fortress
of the graces, the liver the fortress of the
furies. You may have the head filled with
all intellectualities, and the ear with all
musical appreciation, and the mouth with
all eloquence, and the hands with all in¬
dustries, and the heart with all generosities,
and yet “a dart strike through the liver.”
First, let Christian people avoid the mis¬
take that they are ail wrong with God be¬
cause they suffer from depression of spirits.
Many a consecrated man has found his
spiritual sky befogged and his hope of
heaven blotted out despond and plunged and chin deep
in the slough of has said: “My
heart is not right with God, and I think
I must have made a mistake and in¬
stead of being a child of light I am a child
of darkness. No one can feel as gloomy as
I feel and be a Christian.” And he has
gone to his master for consolation, and he
has collected Fiavel’s books and Cecil’s
books and Baxter's books and read and
read and read and prayed and prayed and
prayed and wept and wept anil wept
and groaned and groaned and groaned. My
brother, your trouble is not with the heart;
it is a gastric disorder or a rebellion of the
liver. You need a physician more that than you
do a clergyman. It is not sin blots
out your hope of heaven, but bile. It not
only yellows your eyeballs, head and furs
your tongue, and makes your ache,
but swoops upon your soul in dejections
and forebodings. The devil is after you.
He has failed to despoil your character,
and he does the next best thing for him—
lie ruffles your peace of i*ind. When he
says that you are not a forgiven soul, when
he says you are not right with God, when
he says that you will never get to heaven,
he lies. If you are in Christ you are just as
sure of heaven as though you were there
already. But satan, finding that he cannot
keep you out of the promised land of
Canaan, has determined that the spies shall
not bring you any of the Eschol grapes be¬
forehand, and that you shall have nothing
but prickly pear and crabapple. You are
just as much a Christian now under the
cloud as you were when you were accus¬
tomed to rise in the morning at 5 o’clock to
pray and sing “Halleluiah, ’tis done!”
My friend, Bov. Dr. Joseph F. Jones, of
Philadelphia, a translated spirit and now.wrote
a book entitled, “Man, Moral different Physi¬
cal,” in which he shows how the
same things may appear to different peo¬
ple. He says: '“After the great battle on
the Mincio in 1859, between the French and
the Sardinians on tho one side and the Aus¬
trians on tho other, so disastrous to the
latter, the defeated army retreated, fol¬
lowed by the victors. A description of the
march of each army is given by two corre¬
spondents of the London Times, one of
whom traveled with the successful host, the
other with the defeated. The difference in
views and statements of the same place,
scenes and events is remarkable. The for¬
mer are said to be marching through a
beautiful and luxuriant country (luring the
day anil at night encamping where they are
supplied with an abundance of the best
provisions and all sorts of rural dainties.
There is nothing of war about the proceed¬
ing except its stimulus and excitement.
On the side of the poor Austrians it is just
the reverse. In his letter of the same date,
describing the same places and a march
over the same road, the writer can scarcely
find words to set forth the suffering, im¬
patience and disgust existing around him.
What was pleasant to the former was in¬
tolerable to the latter. What made all tide
difference? asks the author, 'One eondi-
tion only. The French are victorious, the
Austrians have been defeuted.’ ”
So, my dear brother, the road you are
traveling is the same you have been travel¬
ing a long while, but the difference in your
physical conditions makes it look different,
and therefore the two reports you have
given of yourself arq,as widely different as
the reports in the London Times from the
two correspondents. Edward Payson, some¬
times so for up on the mount that it seemed
as if the centripetal force of earth could
no longer hold him, sometimes through a
physical disorder was so far down that
it seemed as if the nether world would
clutch him. Poor William Cowper was a
most excellent Christian and will be loved
in the Christian church as long as it sings
ids hymns boginning, “There Is a fountain
Ailed with blood,” “Ob, lor a closer walk
with God.” “What various hindrances we
meet” and “Gad moves in a mysterious of melan¬
way.” Yet was he so overcome only through
choly or black bile that it was
the mistake of the cab driver who took him
to a wrong place, instead of the river hank,
that ho did not commit suicide.
Spiritual condition so mightily affected
by the physical state, what a great oppor¬
tunity this gives to the Christian physician, both the
for he can feel at the same tlmo
pulse of the body and the pulse of the soul,
and he can administer to both at once, and
if medicine is needed he can give that, and
if spiritual counsol is needed he con give
that—an earthly and a divine prescription only the
at the same time— and call on not
npothecary of earth, but the pharmacy doctor of I
heaven. Ah, that is the kind of
want at my bedside, one that cannot only
count out the right number of drops, but
who can also pray. That is the kind of
doctor I have had in my house when sick¬
ness or death came. I do not want any ot
your profligate or atheistic doctors around
my loved ones when the balances of life are
trembling. A doctor who has gone through
the medical college and in dissecting human room
has traversed the wonders of the
mechanism and found no God in any of the
labyrinths is a tool and cannot doctor me
or mine. But, oh, the Christian doctors!
What a comfort they have been in many ot
our households! And they ought to have a
warm place in our prayers as well as praise
on our tongues. subject is
Another practical use of this
for the young. The theory is abroad that
they must first sow their wild oats anil af¬
terward Michigan wheat. Let me break
tlie delusion. Wild oats are generally pulled sown
in the liver, and they can never be
up. They so preoccupy that organ that
there is no room for the implantation of a
righteous crop. You see aged men about
us at eighty erect, agile, splendid, grand
old men. How eifAteen much wild oats did they
sow between years and thirty?
None, absolutely none. God does not very
often honor with old age those who have in
early life sacrificed swine on the altar of
the bodily temple. Remember, 0 young
man, that, while in after life and after
years of dissipation you may perhaps does have not
your heart changed, religion and
change the liver. Trembling stagger¬
ing along these streets to-day are men, old for all
bent and decayed they and prematurely for lines
the reason that are paying
they put upon their physical early dissipation estate before they
they were thirty. By first and
put on their body a mortgage a
second mortgage and a third mortgage to
the devil, and these mortgages are now be¬
ing foreclosed, and all that remains of their
earthly estate the undertaker will soon put
out of sight. Many years ago, in fulfill¬
ment Of my text, a dart struck through
their liver, and it is there yet. God for¬
gives, but outraged physical law never,
never, never. Hoiom on in my text knew
what he was talking about, and be rises up
on his throne of worldly splendor to shriek
out a warning to all the centuries.
Oh, my young brother, do not make the
mistake that thousands are making in
opening the battle against sin too late, for
this world too late, and for the world to
come too late! What brings that express
train from St. Louis into Jersey City three
hours late? They lost fifteen minutes early
on the route, and that affected them all the
way, ami they had to be switched off here
and switched off there and detained here
and detained there, and the man who loses
time and strength in the earlier part of the
journey of life will suffer for it ail the way
through, the first twenty years of life dam¬
aging the following fifty years.
Some years ago a scientific lecturer went
through the country exhibiting on great body
canvas different parts of the human
when healthy and the same parts when
diseased. And what the world wants now
is some eloquent scientist to go through
the country, showing to our young people
on biasing canvas the drunkard's liver, the
idler’s liver, the libertine's liver, the
gauAter’s might liver. Perhaps the before spectacle he
stop some young man
comes to the catastrophe and the dart
strikes through his liver.
My hearer, this is the first sermon you
have heard oh the gospel health; oirthat and it
may be the last you will ever hear
subject, and X charge you in the name of
God and Christ and usefulness and eternal
destiny take better care of your health.
When some of you die, if your friends put
on your tombstone a truthful epitaph, it
will read, “Here lies the victim of late sup¬
pers,” or it will be, “Behold what lobster
salad at midnight will do for a man,” or it
will be, “Ten cigars a day closed my earth¬
ly existence,” or it will be, “Thought I
could do at seventy what I did at twenty,
and I am here,” or it will be, “Here is the
consequence of sitting a half day with wet
feet,” or it will be, “This is where X have
stacked my harvest of wild oats,” or in¬
stead of words the stone cutter will chisel
for an epitaph on the tombstone two fig¬
ures—namely, a dart and a liver.
There is a kind of sickness that is beauti¬
ful when it comes from overwork for God,
or one’s country, or one’s own glorious. family. I
have seen wounds that were I
hove seen an empty sleeve that was more
beautiful than the most muscular forearm.
I have seen a green shade over the eye, shot
out in battle, that wus more beautiful than
any two eyes that had passed without in¬
jury. I have seen an old missionary, worn
out with the malaria of African jungles,
who looked to me more radiant than a rubi¬
cund gymnast. I have seenu mother, after
six weeks' watching over a family of chil¬
dren down with searlet fever, with a glory
around her pale and wan face that sur¬
passed got the angelic. It and all depends what on battle how
you your sickness in
your wounds.
If we must get sick and worn out, let it
be in God’s service and in the effort to make
tho world good. Not in the service of sin.
No, no! One of the most pathetic scenes
that I ever witness, and I often see it, is
that of men or women converted in the
fifties or sixties or seventies wanting world to be
useful, in but they so served the and
satan the earlier part of their life that
they have no physical They energy sacrificed left for the
service of God. nerves,

side, and now. when their sword is all hack¬

into many a cavalry charge with champing

thunder, is worn out and spavined and
ring boned and springhalt, he rides
up to the great white Captain of and , our sal¬
vation on the horse offers

Merit Wl««.
The Invention of Alabnstlno marked a new
era In wall coatings, and from the gland*
point of the building owner was a most im¬
portant discovery. It has from a small be¬
ginning branched out into every couutry ot
the civilized world. The name "knlsomine”
has become so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of aheap kalsomlne
preparations are now calling them by some
other name, and attempting to sell on the
Alabasttne company’s rep mntion.
Through extensive ad vertising and per¬
sonal use, the merits of the durable Alabas-
tine are so thoroughly known that the peo¬
ple insist chance on getting these goods and will
tnke no of spoiling Iheir walls for a
possible saving of at the most but a few
cents. Thus it is again demonstrated that
merit wins, and that manufacturers ot first-
class articles will besupported bythepeople.
