FOR llHER LIVING
OUR REGULAR SUNDAY SERMON.
A Powerful Appeal For the Higher and
Better Life We All Should Lead.
Brooklyn, N. Y.-The Rev. Robert
Collver. the (,Idest Unitarian pastor
in G reater New York. preached in the
Second I nitaria Chuirch. Clinton and
Congress streets. Sunday morning. His
last ap'warance in that church was last
fall. when he delivered an address on
the late Rev. I)r. John White Chad
wick, the former pastor. who had just
died. The oloquent preacher took for
his text: Genesis xxxiii:13-14. "The
children are tender: I wiUl lead on soft
ly." and said:
It was one of the see'ets of ry craft,
in the old days when I wanted to weld
iron or work steel to a tine purpose.
to begin gently. If I began as all
learners do, to strike my heaviest blows
at the start, the iron would crumble
instead of welding. or the steel would
stiffer tnder my hammer. s'o that,
when it caine to be tempered it would
*fly," as we used to say. and rob the
thing I had nade of its fitest quality.
it was the first condition of a good
job to begin gen:ly. later I could strike
with a lirmer hand. and in the cad pour
out all my might in a storm of sturdy
I blnws; but if I began so it ended, as a
rule. with a wreek. The perfection of
the Nasmyth hammer lies in the blend
ilg of its gentleness and its ponderous
might. so ihat it can coite down as
gently as a June shower or smite like a
tornado, according to'the need of the
moment. So the skillful mechanic
starts new machinery. a locomotive,
a steamt engine or even a sewing ma
chine. 'citly. It is the first condition
of keeping the balance true that the
machine shall not tear away at first
at ligh pressure. I noticed the same
in the building up of a grand organ.
The builder began gently in bringing
out its harmonies. vith some tine
chords, made those true and went
on to the othe:s. and so wrought
on to thc ud. Again an animal trainer
while he smites .he tiger with an iron
bar. if he is wise talks te a horse. al
lures him. courts hin and makes him
his friend. We 1) not speak of "break
ing" a horse, so much now; we "train"
bim.
So I love to note such things as these
as I watgh the perpetual advent of
little children into this life of ours, and
wonder how -'e shall deal with them in
the one wise way which will weid
them, shall I say. to waatsoever things
are true and lovely and of good report.
start thevm to the surest purpose and
train them so as to bring out the
whole power for good which God has
hidden in their nature. There must be
one right way, and I think this father
found it when he said: "The children
are tender; I will lead tlicm on softly."
They may seem ('rude. mere machines
or little brutes: there are some men
who seem by their actions to have
such notions of a child's nature, to
their eternal shame. Here is the prin
ciple: They are tender: we must lead
them on softly. Solomon may slip in
with his cruel maxim of "Spare the rod
and spoil the child." He has no busi
ness about my place while my children
are tender. I can no more be hard
on them than Jesus could. If I hurt
them in this evii way I hurt those.
who are of the kingdom of H-eaven.
My white hairs have brought me this
wisdom: That the unpardonable sin
is to be hard on a tender child. I do
not wonder that the old granidsire is so
ge-ntle with the second generation. He
will not tell you, or himself, perhaps.
why he is, but he would .fain recaill
some passages of his fatherhood. but
that cannot be done. so he chokes back
the inextinguishable regret and humbly
tries to get even through the over
measure. My7 good inothe was some
thing of a Sparta na very gentle
Spartan, with her c'hildr'en. but it was
wonderfully beautiful to see her in
her old age spreading her wide. grand,
motherly wings over the children of
the new day. She could ino more be
hard upon them, no matter 'what
pranks they played, than youir Mlay
sun can be hard upon your M1ay blos
som. It was the return of the heart
to the soft answer. the sweet submis
sion to the better plan. the vision of
the infinite worth of gentle ways with
tender folk, the endeavor, unknown to
herself. to ease her dear old heart of
what little pain there was front the
old days, the feeling that perhaps she
might have gone more softly once.
These children n not things at all

paths of education. If your chlildren

hold them back: a true education is
not a long fever. Here and there a
child may need to be urged on a little.
but I frankly confess that under the
high pressure rf our public schools I
would take the children's side in iheir
little plots to stay aIw;y a day from
school when they have been hard at
work for many days. I like to plot
with Them: their suecess pleases me
more than their failure.
In the culture of the heart. also. we
must lead on softly. I can no more b
lieve that hard and eruel thoucghts of
God will be good for my children than
I can believe in hard and cruel words
and blows, and I have no doubt there
are more so-called infidels made, and
confirmed to that end. by fathers who
thought they were doing God's service
than there are of any other type. Such
thoughts may be but theology to the
father. but they are very often grim.
hard. real hiting torment to the tender
child. It shuts out I-leaven and opens
hell to him: it is cruel as the hissing
and biting of serpents to some delieate
small souls. I suffered more agony at
one time in my childhood when a re
vivalist got hold of me and made me
believe I might wake up in hell when
I laid my poor little head on the pillow
than from any other thing that ever
struck me. There lies the way to (1o a
fatal mischief. the way the ,eeds of in
fidelity are sown in many a -noble na
ture. It is simply the revolt at. the re
sistance to, and the rejection of, a God
their nature is too large and sweet and
tender to tolerate. If in these early
days there is no day stor of a lovelier
light, no dawning for the small. bright
soul of a better day, then there may be
no chance for that soul to pass into the
kingdom until it has passed out of the
world.
When we quote the Scripture: "Train
up a child in the way he should go," we
must still take heed to our ways lest
we think more of the Scripture than
we think of the child-fix our mind and
purpose on the other rather than the
hither end of the way and train him
for what he should be at forty rather
than what he must be in childhood and
youth. We must answer for what is
written in the book of the life of our
children. I must lay the patriarch's
gentle purpose to my heart: "The
children ar;e tender. I will lead on
softly." for these in my Care. who
also have the long hard journ'ey before
them.
If this is true of the shadow. how
true it must be of the light. If ours
is a hard and poor lot, no man or
woman. father or mother, need ever
fear the children will fail to look back
ward to the early years with a tender
love, if by all the means in our power
we make good for them the patriarch's
purpose. I think, indeed, our love for
the old homac is very often deepest and
purest in those who have had to face
the hardest times if we have fought
through them in this bright, good way,
and led the children on softly. There
were homes in this country fifty, sixty.
seventy years ago bare of all things
save this one secret-they are the dear
est places on the earth to-day in mem
ory of men and women who have every
thing now the heart can desire. And
when we have done this, what better
can we do than put the whole wealth
of our endeavor in trust into the hands
of God.
"Thou Art My Light."
A touching incident was narrated by
Dr. R. F. Horton on the second Sunday
after his return from months of treat
ment by a celebrated German oeulist.
He was waiting in the oculists con
sulting room, not knowing whether or
not the remainder of his life was to
be passed in darkness, when he put his
hand into his pocket and drew out his
little Bible-not to read it. but to see if
he could. As he opened it his eyes fell
on the text:
--For Thit~ are my lamp, 0 Lord:
and the Lord will lighten my dark
ness."
"I had not been aware of the very
existence of this text," he said. '-and
I do not know who but an angel could
have led me to it; but I felt that,
whether I received my sight or not,
those words were enough for me. and
from that time I seemed to know that
I should continue to proclaim the words
of this blessed Book."
- Duty Above Life.
Life is a matter of very small ac
count to any one in comparison with
duty-doing, whether a man realizes
this truth or not. Whatever is worth
living for is worth dying for, if dying
be an incident to its pursuing. When
the Roman General, Pompey, was
warned against the danger of his re
turning from Egypt to Italy. to meet
a new trouble in his own land, his
her-ole answer was: "it is a small mat
ter that I should more forwvard and
dije. I-t is too great a matter that I
should take one step backwar-d and
live."' Life is never well lived when
it is held dea ret- than duty. He who
would tell a lie in order to live is will
ing to pay a great deatl larger price for
his life than that life is worth to him
self-or to others.--H. C. Trumbull.

BLEW DOWN CITY WALL.
People of Leipsic Reminded of the
Fate of Jerichto.
We have been hearing a good deal
about the walls of ,Jericho lately, and.
therefore, it is cnrious that we should
have an actual example of the power
of a trumpet-blast occurring in Europe
to-dlay.
A short time ago, at Leipsic, the
conductor of a brass band used to
train his musicians in his garden.
which was bounded by the old walls
of the city.
One day, when they were practicing
a grand march they came to a passage
in which ali the trumpets had to blo0w
fortissimo. and, as they gave one final
blalst all together., they were aston
ished to see the old wall suddenly
crtumblc and topple over into the
fields outside.
Happily. the only result was that
the cows in the meadows were frizcht
ened. but it is evident that the walls
of Leipsic are even more unstable
than were the walls of Jericho.

Ieiving *he present from aezekiah (2
Kings 18: 14-16). "Sennacherib." The
I son and successor of Sargon. He says
be built towers around Jerusalem and
shut Hezekiah in "like a caged bird."
"Assyria." This was a great and pow
erful country lying' on the Tigris. Its
boundaries differed greatly at different
periods. "Send his servants." See 2
Kings IS: 17. Tartan. or general; the
rabsaris, the chief of the eunichs: and
the rab-shakeh. the chief cup-bearer,
these being the offices which their
names imply, with a great host. None
of these are proper names. Tarta
was the ordinary title of an Assyrian
general. They were to demand the In
conditional surrender of the king and
capital. "To Jerusalem." Sennacherib
,was encamped before Lachish, thirty
miles southwest of Jerusalem. seated
in state. From this proud positior he
sent a large detachment to Jerusalem.
They took up their position on the
north of the city. on a spot long after
wards known as the camp of the Assy
rians. Hezekiah feared to appear: or
perlips, careful of his dignity, he sent
otlicers of his court. who were nearer
the rank of those sent. In his place
came Eliakim, now thief minister:
Shebna. now in the office of secretary:
and Joah. the royal historian. *AII his
power." All- his army.
10. "Whereon do- ye trust'" Liter
ally. "Whereon are ye trustinr and sit
ting in restraint?'" .udah was in al
liance with Egypt. Assyria's arch-en
eiy: :nd reference is here made to
this. 11. "Doth not Hezekiah." Hez
ekiah is abI used most vilely antad over
whelmned wvith scorn and insult. 12.
"Worship before one altar." Rab-sha
kelh was not familiar wiith the Jewish
lw. a id he na1turally sposed that
the destruction of so many altars
would incur tl~e displeasure of tlt
gods: but the ireason he gave to prove
that .Tudah was weak was the very rea
son why (od was with them to make
themll strong. 1:1-5. "Know ye not."
etc. This boast was natural. The As
syrianus had had an uninterrupted .'
l'eer of success and might well believe
that their grods were more powerful
than those of the nations around them.
They had utterly over-run and de
stroyed the kindred tribes of Galilee,
Gilead and Sainaria. They had for
years exercised lordship over Judea.
and the very kinlg who now defied
them had purchased his sa fety by ilie
payment of a heavy fine. 1G. "Against
the Lord." Hezekiah treated this
bhispheimous speech :s lie ought. He 1
refers tile inatter to .lehovah.
17. "Wrote also letters." A little
later another insulting messa:ge in thr
form of "a letter" (R. V.. margiM was
sent. The king took the letter anld at
o11ee went again to the house of the
Lord. He spread out the letter before
the Lord and poure(d out his soul in <
earnest prayer (2 Kings 19: 14-9: Isa.i
37: 14-20). 18. -A loud voice." An a;
lusion is here mde to what occurlred
12 Kings iS: 28-:5) before Se:inaeherib
wrote his letter. ".Jews' spee~'h." The
Hlebrew Iangunage. T1he Syriau hmIan
gnage was not understood by the con
mon people. "To affrmighit thenm." It
w-as a day of gr'eat suspense. Already
there was a rumor that the king of
Egypt was on his way to tl e rescue.
Senacherib had heard the rumor, anda
it w~as this which caused him to put C
forth every elfor't to intimidate .Terusa
lemi into submission. 19. "Spake
against." etc. Tha~y saw no difference
between the .Tehio-:Lih of the Jews and
the gods of the other nations. I
II. H~ezekiah and Isaiah call oni :he
Lord (v. 20:). 20. "Prayed." King
Hezekiah rent his clothes and put on
sackcloth and went to the house of
Gsod, wvhile his messengers so'ught out.
the prophet Isaiah to know~ what to do.
The prayer expressed the deepest need.
the highest faith, the utmost earnest-i
ness. the wisest plea, thme highest mo
tive. It was ulnited prayer, a prayer
meeting. Isaiah joined with Hlezekiahi.
But they not only prayed, they worked.
The king built walls aind towers, and
prepared armas and shields and encour-e
aged thle people to be strong ind cour- I
ageous, and not to be -afraid of the As- I
syriani l:ing. "for there be mo"e with us
than with him" (vs. G. 7m.

21. The word angel means "a mes
senger.'"-one senlt." and may be ap
plied to any mlessenger sent fr'om God.
whoever or whatev'er that may' be.
Thus in Psa. 104: 4 the winds are said t
to be His angels or messenigers. T'he
use of the word "angel" here (10es not

one night God's messenger snmote 1S5.
000 mfen (2 Kings 19: 3). This gives
some idea of the- immense sige of Sen
nacherib's army. "He returned." The
king and a few others were preserved.
"Own land." Nineveh. "When lie
was come." .Just how; long a time
elapsed between thlis calamity and Sen-.
nac'heribs death we do not know, but
it w;as probably about twenty years.
He records other c'ampaignls. but he

mnelech and Sharezer his sauns smote
him with the su'or.; and they es

JV. Hezekian is exalted (v's. 22. T:i).
These ver'ses tell us that God nlot onuly
saved His people fronm the l.ands of
Sennacherib, but from all others and
"guided them on every side.'- M1any
presents were broughlt to Ilezekiah,
and lie was exalted in the sight of all.
Great Bank Squeezes Pennies. r
The World's Work, in a recent is
sue, shows how carefully the First
National bank of Chicago look's to its
postage account. "Stamped postal
cards are not used. and not cne of
the thousands of routine letters that
are written every day is stamped and
sealed until the whole routine mail
of the day is assembled in the after
noon. Then all the cards and letters
to one corresponden~ft are put i-1 a sin
gle envelope. and-except for letters
fromt the officers and the like-the
bank comes as near as possible to get
ting its entire mail carried at 2 cents
an Ounce. or 1 cent for every postalt
card, instead of often paying 2 cents
for a quarter of an oumner, as i; would ,
have to do if every communication
vwere isealed and st:nped separty.
This httle matter of getting full vat:c r

tection. I'll explain it to you.
"I am a jewe!er and you bring me
a diamond ring for repairs. I take
the diamond out of your ring and I
put back in its place a similar dia
mond that is a little, a very little,
smaller. You. naturally. don't dis
cover the trick that has been played
o: You.
"The same day a brooch is brought
to me and since the central stone ol
the brocch is a little larger than your
diamond. I get rid of yours and keel:
the bigger gem. In this way. four or
five times in one dayoI make diamond
exchanges. keeping always a better
stone than I part with.
"On good diamond trees. diamonds
as small as pin heads have beer
known to grow to the size of peas in
two days. A good tree. too, won't
have only one diamond growing on
it at a time. A dozen stones or more
will be simultaneously increasing ir
size and value as the days pass."
But Etiquette Hardly Applied.
A. H. Hummel. the well known law
rer of New York. was talking, be
:ween the acts of a drama, about the
eading woman.
"Though her salary is large." said
%1r. Hummel. "she is always hard up,
iways in debt, they say.
"The other day I heard a story
tbout her. A female bill collector
,alled on her to try to get her to set
3e a bill for a sable coat.
"'I am sorry.' she said to the col
ector. 'but I can't settle this bill at
>resent.'
"'Very well, madame. When shall
call again?' the collector asked.
- -Well,' said the actress. 'it would
iardly be etiquette for you to ca!l
tgain until I have returned the pres.
nt call.'"
Breaking Eggs for a Living.
A correspondent of a contemporary,
vho has been searching for the most
nonotonous rethod of earning a liv
ng, decides in favor of that of crack
ng eggs. "I met a man who said
ie was a biscuit manufacturer on a
arge scale, and . was rather inclined
o boast about the number of eggs
vhich his firm bought in the course
>f a year. Now, it seems that to avoid
alamity five eggs are broken into a
>owl at a time before being added to
he common stodk. There are men,
Le told me. who do nothing but crack
iggs. They become so expert that a
nan can dispose of a thousand an
iour, or ten thousand a day."

I was in a terrible condition from a

My food had long ceased to be of any good
and only distressed me after eating. I
was nauseated, had heartburn and head
aches, and felt run down completely. But
in two weeks after I took Peruna I was
a ebanged person. A few bottles of the

three months my stomach was cleared of

Ever Tried coff'ee This Way'?
It is a wel-known fact that even the
best of honsekeepers cannot make really
good coffee without having the proper ma
terials.
theev wiil NEVER make it with coffee of
doubt'ful origin. adulterated. queerly
blended, and possiblv dirty coffee that has.
perhaps, been mixed u) with all kinds of
)ther things on the counter.
But let them take a package of LION
COFFEE-the purest and cleanest-and the
brand universally usid throughout: the Uni
redl States for over twenty-five years. Mill
~ons dr~ink it daily, and get the best re
ults if it is made in the following way:
Try it once and you will never want to
.ry any other brand of coffee.
W TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
Use LIoN COFFEE, because to get best
results you must use the best coffee.
Grind you LiON COFFEE rather fine.
Use a "tablespoonful to each cup. and one
extra for the pot." First mix it with ai
little cold water, enough to make a thick
paste, and add white of an egg (if egg is to
be used as a settler), then follow one of
the followin rules
1st - Wite boiling water - Add boiling
water. and let it boil three minutes only.
Add a little cold water and set aside five
minutes to settle. Serve promptly.
2d-With~ cold water--Add your cold
water to the paste and bring it to a boil.
Th-en set aside. add a little cold water, and
ill five minutes it's ready to serve.
THREE DON'Ts.
Don't boil it too long.
Don't cet it stan' more than ten min
utes before serving.
Don't use water that has been boiled be
fore.
TWO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE.
1st-With eggs-Use part of the white of
an egg. mixng it with the ground LION
COFFEE before boiling.
2d-With cold water instead of eggs.
After boiling add a da.;h of cold water and
set aside for eight or ten minutes, then
serve through a strainet.
