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 “Andnow,” he said, inclosing. hope you will fully realize the extreme 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.

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 the fell 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, muscles, lungs, heart and liver on the wrong altar.
