THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA., TUESDAY JANUARY 25 1887
The following words, in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as a remedy for those delicate diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to women, must be of interest to every sufferer from such maladies. They are fair samples of
the spontaneous expressions with which thousands give utterance to their sense of gratitude for the inestimable boon
of health which has been restored to them by the use of this world-famed medicine.
Mrs. Sophia F. Boswell. White Cottage, O.,
writes: “I took eleven bottles of your ’ta-
vorite Prescription* and one bottlo of jrour
• Pellets.* I am doing my work, and have been
for some time. I have had to employ help for
about sixteen years before I commenced tak
ing your medicine. I have had,to wear a sup-
]H>rfcr most of tlie time; this 1 have laid aside,
and feci as well as 1 ever did.’* ,
, John E. Seoar. of MlllmhceU, Va. % writes:
“My wife had been suffering for two or
three years with female weakness, and hod
paid out one hundred dollars to physicians
without relief. She determined to try Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which really
did her more good than did nil tho medi
cine given to her by the physicians during the three years they
had been practicing upon her.”
Mrs. BrrrrE Bcrton, Belli, Bedford Co., Ya.,
writes: “I was a great sufferer from womb uffeo-
tlon, and took four bottles of your * Favorite Pre
scription * and ‘Pellet*,’ from which I obtained
decid' d relief, and such rellof as I had despaired
of. For a year und a half my health hns remained
lerfect. Tendering my thanks poorly expresses my gratitude.
_fany of my relatives and friends havo used your remedies, and
in every instance they improved.”
TREATING THE WROM DISEASE.
Many times women call upon their family physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with backache, or
nervousness, another with pain here and there, and In this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and Indifferent,
or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which ho prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to bo such, when,
in reality, they aro nil symptoms caused by some womb disorder. Whilo the physician Is ignorant of tho cause of suffering, ho
encourages his practice until largo bills are made, when tho suffering patient is no totter, but probably worse for the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Plcrco's Favorite Prescription, directed to tho cause would
probably havo entirely removed the disease, thereby instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery. 4

TALMAGE’S SERMON.
A SfemortblG Day for ibo Ttbenuole, ia Which
Orcr Ihrce Hundred New Xlombire are Added
to the Church, and a Great Sermon on
the Subject: “Jubllio of toula.*'
WORLD’S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Proprietors,
Mo, 66j Malts Street, BITFALO, M, Yt
Brooklyn, .Tanuary 23.— [Spodal.]—The
Bcv. T. DcWitt Tslmoffc’s sermon today was
|ncached at tho reception of three hundred
and eight new members, making the communi
cant membership of tho Brooklyn taboruacle
three thousand six hundred and fifty. It was
a day memorable in tbo history of this church.
Tho roverened doctor’s text was Isaiah lx., 8:
• Who aro these that fly as a cloud, and as tho
doves to their windows?” He preached as
follows:
When God would set fait a beautiful thought
Ho plants it in a tree; when lie would put it
afloat He fashions it iuto a fish; when He
would havo it glide the air He moulds it into a
bird. There is to many of us a com
plete fascination in the structure and
habits of birds. Tho blackbird, floating like a
flake of darknesss through the sunlight, tho
meadow lark, with head of fawn aud throat of
velvet and breast of gold; tho red flamingo
flying over tho southern swamps like sparks
from the forge of tho setting sun; the pelican,
white and black, morning and night tangled
in its wings. They seem not moro of earth
than heaven, ever vacillating between tho
two. No wonder that Audubon, with his gnu,
tramped through all the American forests in
search of new specimens. Geologists have
spent years in.finding the track of a bird’s claw
in the new red sandstone. There is euougli
of God’s architecture in n snipe's bill or a
grome's foot to confound all tho universities.
Musicians have with elefta and bars tried to
catch tho sound of the nightingale and the
robin. Among tho first things that a child
notices is a swallow at tho eaves; and grand
father goes out with a handful of crumbs to
feed the snow birds. Tho Bible is full of or*
nithological allusions. Tho birds of the Bible
are not dead and stuflbd, liko thoso of the
museum, but living birds, with fluttering
wings and plumage. “Behold tho fowls of tho
air,” «»y3 Christ. “Though thou exalt thyself
as the eagle, nnd though thou sol thy nest
among the stars, thence will I bring thee
down,*’ exclaims ObodUh. “Gavcst thou tho
goodly wings to tho peacocks?" says Job. David
describes his desolation by saying: “I am like
a pelican of tho wilderness; 1 am like an owl
of tho desert; I watch, and am as a sparrow
upon the houso top.” “Yea, the stork In tho
heaven knoweth her appointed tirao; and tho
turtle aud the crane and tho swallow' observe
the timo of their coming; but my people know
not the judgment of the Lord," so says Jere
miah. And in tho text Isaiah looks ahead and
si es tbo gathering of many pcoplo unto Christ
nnd tho church, and it makes him think of a
flock of pigeons alighting on their coop, aud
nil at once try to get in tho coops, and
he erics out: “Who aro theso that fly as a
cloud, aud as tho doves to their windows?”
This is ouo of tho memorable days of tho
Brooklyn Tabernacle. On other Sundays wo
drop tlio net; tomorrow we haul it in. On
other days we send out tho invitations for a
king’s party; today we sit at tho banquot. On
other days wo fight tho battle; now wc claim
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Yo
who havo tolled, and contributed, and prayed
fertile success of this institution, take unto
vour touls the grand satisfaction of this hour.
To you, O men nnd women, is fullUtod the
promise: “They that sow in tears shall reap in
joy." Wake up, O Church of God! and bring
garlands aud music, and let ua celebrate our
“harvest home.”
Oh, this mercy of God! Iam told it is an
oceau. Then I place on it four swift sailing
crafts, with ccropars and charts, and choice
rigging and skillful navigators, and I tell them
to launch away and dlnovor for me theox-
tint of this ocean. That craft puts out in one
direction and sails to tho north; this to the
south; this to the east; this to the west. They
crowd on all their canvass and sail ten thou
sand years, and one day come un to.tho harbor
of heaven, and I shout to them from the beach:
“Hare you found the shore?” And thor an
swer: “No shore to God’s mercy!” Swift an
gels, dispatched from the throne, attempt to go
across It. For a million years they fly nnd fly,
but then come back and fold their wings at
the foot of the throne and cry: “No shoro! No
shore to God’a mercy!’* Btcrcy! Mercy!
1 king It. I preach it. I pray it.
Here I find a man bound hand
and foot ' to the devil, but with
one stroke of the hammer of God’s truth tho
chains fall off and ho is free forever. Mercy!
Mercy! Merer! There is no depth it cannot
fathom; there ia no height it cannot scale; there
la no infinity it cannot compass.
When persona apply for membership into
anyjociety, the question if asked: “Who are
they and where did they come from?" and as
this multitude of people today presont them
selves for membership, it is right that we
should ask: “Who are these that- corao ns
doves to their windows?” They are captives
wboie chains hare been broken; they are
soldiers who have enlisted for a thirty years'
war. They are heirs of heaven.
Theyromeas doves to the windows, first,
because they fly low. The eagle dart* up, as if
to strike its beak into the sun. There are birds
that seem to dwell under the eaves of heaven;
you see them as littl<\si>eck« against the sky, so
far off that yon cannot guess the stylo *of their
plumage or tho shape of their bodies. They
float so far nwav that if the hunter’s gun ho
discharged at them they do not change their
course. Not to with tbo dove* or pigeon?,
they never take any high excursions. They
fly around your root and alight on the fence
and seem to dislike great altitudes. So these
souls who rometo Christ and to his church
today, fly low. They ask no great
things; they seek an humble place
at the feet of Christ. They are not ashamed to
be called beggars for morcy, they are willing to
get down on their knee*, nnd to crawl under
the table, und to pick up the crumbs of gospel
provision. There were days when they were
proud snd punctilious and inexorable and
puffed up; but not now. The highest tlmmo
of earth could not tempt Mary uwav from
Jesus’s feet. Htoop, O pardoned soul! if thou
wouldst enter Heaven. A high look and a
proud heart God hates. Fly low. It is a
mercy that thou can’s! fly at all. Kemembor
all the years of thy ain; thy days of youthful
wandering; thy days of mu a hood tr.tusgiov
hions; thy tlns—dark, brooding, deathful—
sins against thy soul, against thy Bible, against
thy God.
In one of the benevolent institutions of
Kurope where the destitute are provided for,
the newcomers have their photographs taken
white in rags before they are waihca, so that
they may alwavs have in the picture a remind
er of the degradation from which they were
lifted: to, in this book. God keeps before tlieo a
picture of thy former destitution and ragged-
ncMofsoul. Fir low.
It is an offended God before w hom thou
coutest. Thou deservest His wrath. He scat
tered the one hundred and eighty-five thou
sand of Sennacherib's host in a night. He ab
hors sin. He will judge the nations. Holy,
holy, holy, ia the Lord God Almighty. Fly
low.
A thousand yeara ago an emperor planted a
rose bosh from which roses aro plucked today.
At the foot of the cross nearly nineteen centu-
ricssgoa rose was planted which blooms to
day; stoop down, if thou wouldst pluck it. O,
for more of the childlike spirit! J rejoice in the
belief that those who come to Christ today
corns aware of their sins and their wants, and
have learned bow to fly low.
Again: Tbei
like doves on tl
they fly for shelter. The albatro# makes a
throne of the tempest; the seagulls find their
grandest frolic in the atom, their merriest
hour stem to be that In which the surf of the
sea piles most high. Not so with
doves; at the first blow of the
northeaster they fly to the coop. Eagle con
tends with ' eagle in mid air, and vulture
fights vulture on the bosom of the carcass,
but doves at the first dash of the bfrd of prey,
tpeoi for shelter from fiery eye and iron beak
and loathsome talon. Bo to-day thmemU
come here for shelter. Everyone has about-
ting sin; that sin is always after you. Tho
robber w.ntchos you when you corns out of
the bank, sees in what pocket you put tho
money, follows you down the street, notices
where you go to dine, nnd whero you sleep,
and what kind of a lock you have on your
door, so there ia some sin ever on a nun’s
track. It goes with him to tho store, it
sits on tho money-safe, it looks over his
shoulder whilo he makes out tho bill of lading,
it goes out with him to diuo, it walks home
with him at night. As to sorno dog that you
do not wnut to follow you but persists, you say
to it: “Back home with you!" You stono It
away aud start ou. After awhile, casually
turning your eye, you find it closo nfteryou
with n sneaking look. Whcrover you go, slu
goes; where you stay, siu stays. You have
watched the hawk above the barnyard: It sails
nrouud and around over the brood of chickcus;
around *aud around, now almost down to the
flock, then back again, until at last It drops
and seizes its prey. There is a hawk ready to
pounco on every dove, nnd that is the muon
that theso doves come today to tho windows—
they want shelctr in tho grace of God and in
Cbristinu associations. They say: “If thore
i* any power in your prayer*, lot mo have
them; if there bo any virtue iu good couusols,
give them to me; if there be anything elevat
ing in Christian associations, lot mo feel their
influence.” “Where thou dwollost I will dtroll.
Thy people shall be my people, thy God my
Goa. Open your doors, O, church of God!
and lot them come iu “as doves to their win
dows."
Christ is tho only shelter of the soul in
troublo. What can you do without him when
sorrow comes? Perhaps at first you take
valerian to quiet your nerves, or alcohol to re
vive your spirits; but havoyou found anything
in tho medicines or physical stimulauts suffi
cient? Perhaps the excitement in tho monoy
market, or in tlio merry-making of tho club
von have sought relief. This world ha* no
balsam for a wounded soul, no shelter for a
bmbed spirit. The dovo in the tlmo of tho
deluge flew north and it was all wator, in
which tossed the esreassos of the dead world,
aud tho first solid thing tho dove's foot touched
waa tho window of tho ark. 8o tlio soul in
trouble goes out in ono direction aud And noth
ing substantial to rcit upon, aud in another
direction, and every whither, but thoro is no
rest for tlio dove save tho ark.
“RuludanUal comfort will uot grow
And made Ills glorlt-.s kn„u u,
There fruits or heavenly joys are found;
Aud there alone.”
You lost a parent: somoono said that it was
in tlio rcgulni course of nature that yonr father
should expire. Did that comfort you? You
lost a child; somebody said if that child hail
lived it might havo turned out badly. l)ld
that comfort you? You lost your property:
they told you that rirhes wore
very uncertain. You kuew that boforo.
You were sick; they explained to you that tlio
difficulty was in tho sccrotiors or in tho sci
atic nerve. Did that sootho you? O, tho dos-
pliable quackery of earthly comfort! But
when Christ comes to tlio soul and says: “I
took your estate because 1 wanted to give you
more valuable treasures: I mado you sick in
hedythat your soul might bo brought up to
eternal health; I took your loved ones away
because I havo a better und brighter plaeo for
them in my own presenc e,” thon tho wound
heals, then tho tears dry off* tho face, thon God
has become tlio everlasting portion of tlio
soul. Oh, tho air is full of black wings nnd
inveu’s beaks. They join their wings or dark
ness until thoy shut out tho light of tho sun.
They havo lattenod on tho carcasses of
men. Their clangor is horriblo to tho
car. Troublo nnd disease and death coming
down on tlio wind. No wondor theso souls
have como for shelter “as doves to their win
dows.” Wliat does tho pigeon in tho coop care
for the hawk In tbo sky?
Fafe in Christ, rafe forever. The mountains
may depntt nnd the bills l>o removed, but Thy
loving kindness shall never fail.
Again: Theso souls, liko dovos, fly homo.
Most of tbo wlugcd denizens havo no homo;
now thoy iy;o at tho north and now at the
Miuth, ns the climate indicates. This year a
nest in one tree, next year a nost in another
tree. Tho goldon oriole romaius but throe
months of the year in Gormany, and is thon

Tho ernnes call each other together several
days before going, choose tlieir leader, arrange
themselves in two lines, forming an angle, ond

text, summer aud winter, and always, havo a
homo iu tho dove cot. And so Christ is tho
homo of thoso who como to Him. IIo is n
warm homo; they rest tinder tho “feathers of
tho Almighty.” Christ t^lis us that chickens
find not » warmer ploco under tho wing of
the hen than we in Him. He is a safo homo;
our fortunes may go down ton degrees below
zt ro, tlio snows of trouble may fall, tho wiada
of persecution may howl, tbo jackals of death
may stalk forth—nil is well, for “great poaco
havo they who trust in God.” From this
home wo shall nover be driven out. Tlio sher

fircb may burn it down, or tbo winds carry it
away, but that homo shall always be ours.
Mentnlkas though starting for God wsre
putting out on a trackless moor: or wandering
through tbo sandh of a great*8abara. No, no;
it is coming to the warmest and best of homos,
“as dovea to the windows.”
Again: Theso souls today gathering fonuem-
boruhip, aro like doves because they come In
flocks. The buzzard, with dripping bsak flut
tering tip from tho carrion, Is alono. You occa
sionally look un against tiio wintry sky and
see a solitary bfrd winging post. But dove* or
pigeons are In flocks; by scores and hundreds
do they fly. You bear the loud whirr of their
wings aa they im*s. Ho today wo sec n
f roat flock coming into the kingdom,
t is not n straggler, trying to catch up wire
his regiment; it is • solid phalanx, taking tho
kingdom. It Is not a drop on your hand or
cheek that leaves vou indoubt whether it rains
or not, but the rush of au unmistakableshowor.
It is not the raking up of the gleanings, but
the tofsings dp of the full sheave* into mow—
"as doves to their windows.” There are all
gen in this flock. Homo of them aro young,
and the very first use they make or their
wingaisto fly iuto the kingdom. Bomoof
them are old, and tlieir wing* have been torn
with shot and raffled with tho tempest, and
they had almost drop)*ed into the sea. Homo of
them have been making a very crooked course.
They dipped their wings in fountains of sin—
they wandered near tlio gulf of perdition; but
they raw their danger—thev changed their
course. Tbc-y have come at last, “as doves to
the windows.”
1 thank God that f have lived to see this
day; to my dying hour I shall not cevmto
praise Him for this manifestation, of His
grace. Praise to JJim, aun and moon and
stars! Prafce Him, church militant on earth!
I’rsire Him, church triumphant in heaven!
I*t tho church beneath raise uf It* right h ind
nfsiatillation and the church nbovc roach
down its right hand of joy, and while the t vo
aieciiispiil let the clileiffof the cliurah p it to
nurlipsth'- wine of eartbiy celebration, and
tho cupbearers of heaven bring up out of the
vault* of eternity tho oldest wine, prepared by
Him who trod too wine proM alone, and so lot
two world* at once keep jubilee!
Who are these who come to us today? Many
sre young. I’ntil Hubert itaikes camo, there
was no organized effort for raving the young.
Wc n*nt all of our strength trying to bend old
lifts, wheu a little Pressure would have been
*uflkicnt for the sapling. We let men go do are
to the very bottom of ain before we try to lift
them up. It is a great deal easier to ki--p a
train on the track than to get it on when it Is
off. The experienced rsinsman check* tin

full awing, the swift hoofs clicking fire fr m
the pavement, and the bit between hb teeth,
bis momentum is irresistible. It L* avid that
the young must be allowed to sow their “wild

wild oats seldom try to raise any other kind of

with grief. I said, “Fanny how do you feel?”

But while a great flock this day comes to the
dove-cot of mercy, tho largest flock are going
the other way. It is a very easy tldog to t une
doves. Go out tgith a handful of corn to feed
pigeons, and they will fly on your shoulders
and your hands, so tamo are thoy. God has
fed those who are before uo with “the fluost of
tho wheat,” and yet you have flokrn from Him
all your lives long. You havo taken
your clothes out of nis wardrobe, aud
your bread out of Hi* hands. God's spirit
will not always strive. In the morning, after
a fevere night, you have gone out and seen the
birds dead on the snow. Bo, after awhile,
God’s mercy will ccaso and the earth will bo
covered with the bodies of those who perished
in tho storm. That storm is coming. It will
shiver the mast of prido—it will drivo iuto the
white reefs of death every cargo of sin. Tho
cedars of the mountoiu will split in the hur
ricane, and the islands shall bo moved out of
tbeir places, and the continents shall bs rent
asunder, and tho hemispheres shall whirl like
a top in tho fury of that day.
’I ho t mountaius will bo blasted and the
tiCHits, in affright, bo pitched from tho cliff* In
mi avalanche of terror. The dead shall rush
furth from their sepulchres to see what is the
matter, aud nil those who despiso God shall
hoiriUy perisfa.
Now do you suppose that I can stand here
and know that that day is coming without
telling you about it? My last resting place
will probably bo near yours. What if, whim I
get up in the resurrection day, I should see
you rmliiug at mo across tbo lots of the ceme-
teiy, n mill car you cry: “Why did you uot
tell mo of this? If it Wl not been for your
neglect, I should have been oil the way to
glory." I cau not prepare mysolt for such a
consternation.
“Can you tell mo how far it is to Hell/" said
a young man as, on Bundajr, on horseback, he
dushed past a good Christian deacon. At the
next turn in the road tho horso throw the
Hcofling rider and ho was dead. IIo wanted to
kuow now far it was to hell aud found oat
without tho deacou’a tolling him.
Bo thou art mounted on a swift ateed, whose
hoofs strike fire from tho pavement os he
dashes past, and you err out: “How far U it
to ruiu?" I answer: “Near—very noar!”
“Perhaps this very day
Thy last accepted time may bo,
Obi Ftiouldst thou grieve Him now away,
Then hope way never beam ou thee.
Ob, that my Lord (tod would bring you now
to tco your siu nnd to fly from it, and your
duty und help you to doit, so that whoa the
luat great terror of earth shall spread its two
Mack wings and clutch with its bloody tolona
for thy soul, it cannot hurt tiioe, fur tlmt thou

THAT QRSAT WOLF HUKT.
Tuk'OLA, III,, January 23.—Tho wolf hunt
in Bargcnt township came off as advertised,
and was attended by over two thousand peo
ple. It was a great success so far a* sport
went, but so far as exterminating tho wolves
was concerned it was* distinct failure. Fif
teen wolves were beaten up, of which ono
wos shot, another killed by a dog, aud a third
badly lamed by a charge of buckshot. The
rcmainiogtwelve bad a good ruu, but were
unhurt. The cause of tho failure was lack
of organization, which resulted in frightening
tlio wolves out of the center boforo tho Boot
were sufficiently formed. Ffvc line spec!*
mens ot tho gray kind got through tho
southcost corner before nine o’clock, and al
most immediately afterward another broke
through on tho west, but was shot snd killed
by Jack I’cnrce, of Oakland, who wa* ono of
the captains, before it could get undercover.
At stout ten o’clock a Ik 10 ho wolf, ms large as
a good sited mastiff, was discovcrwfby the
Areola detachment IIo showed a hold front
aud charged the south lino, which wf* too
well formed for him; ho was beaten back with
clubs, snd too untrained grey bound* turned
loose on him. llo made straight for the east
line, cutiunning the dogs and getting sway,
owing to the bud formation of the Hue. An
other wns found directly after, In the oaoin
place, ami was freely shot at. It got away on
three legs followed by a small crowd which baa
uot since been teen or heard of.
The Tuscola detachment, of which your cor-
nsiiondent waa a member, unearthed a largo
tho wolf in a hollow oak lying oa a 1,000 aero
prairie lucloture, two milea enst of Brushy
Fork. An exciting chaso en
sued, and dually a fine bound tolonglug to
J. L. Sweexy ran down the game and killed
it before asahtanco could arrive. Th* honors
of the day went to the hound, a big black an
imal, a cross between a blood and grey
hound. The wolf weighed about fifty pounds,
but we nt down boforo tho dog without oven
Htmpping at him. A. L. Byndnr, tho poti*
muter at Arcoln, purchased tho carcass of
bweery foe but the scalp, toll, ears and
one foot were cut off bv aggressive hunters.
There were no disturbances, and tbo affair
passed off with but one unplearantueis. A
well-bred hound belonging to> fanner named
Lewis was wantonly shot by one of the crowd,
and if tbc Lewis tors can find ont the cul
prit they intend to beat the life out of him
with ita carcass. Another grand wolf drive
will ho held ou February 2. when If Is ex
pected there will to some tine eport.
