ESTHER THE ORHAN. Dr Talmage Finds Many Lessoms in the Example of the Jeweso. BBooxtYi, OQt. 7.-Rev. Dr. Tal mage, who ib still absent on his round the world tour, has selected as the sub ject of today's sermon through the press "Hadasah," the text chosen being Es ther ii. 7, "And he brought Up Hladas ah. A beautiful child was born in the cap ital of Persia. She was an orphan and a captive, her parents bavmng been stolen from their Israelitish home and carried to Shushan and died, leaving their daugh ter poor and in a strange land. But an Isrealite who had been carried into the same captivity was attracted by the case of the orphan. He educated her in his holy religion, and ueder the roof of that good man this adopted child began to develop a sweetness and excellency of character, if ever equalled, certainly never surpassed. Beautiful Hadassat! Could that adopted tather ever spare her from his household? Her artlessness, her girlish sports, her innocerce, her orphanage. had wound themselves thor oughly around his heart, just as around each parent's heart among us there aie tendrils climbing and fastening and blos soming and growigstronger. I expect he was like others who have loved ones at home-wondering sometimes if sick ness will come and death and bere ve ment. Alas, worse than anyting the father expects happens to his adopted child! Ahasuerus, a princely scound:el, deniands that Hadassah, the fairest one in all the kingdom, become his wife. Worse than death was marriage to such mAonstr.of iniquity. How great the change when this young woman left the home where God was worshipped and religion honored to enter a palace de voted to pride, idolatry and sensuaity! "As a lamb to the slaughter!" Ahasuerus knew not that his wife was a Jewess. At the instigation of the In famous pime minister the king decreed that all the Jews in the land should be slain. Hadassah pleads the cause of her people, breaking through the rules of the court and presenting herself in the very face ot death, crying, 'If I per ish, I perish!" Oh, it was a sad time among that enslaved people! They bad all heard the decree concernig their death. Sorrow, gaunt and ghastly, sat in thousands of households, and mothers wildly Dressed their infants to their breasts as the days of massacre hastened on, praying that the same s lord stroke which slew the mother might also slay the child, rosebud and bud perishing im the same blast. But Hadannah is busy at court. Theo hard heart oftthe king is touched by her story, and although he could nottreverse his decree for the slaying of the Jews he sent forth an order that they siould arm themselves for defense. On horseback, on mules, on dromedarIes, messengers sped through the land bearing the king's dispaches, and a shout of joy went up from that enslaved people at the faint hope of success. I doubt not many a rusty blade was taken down and sharp ened. Unbearded youths grew stout as giants at the thought of defending moth ers and sisters. IDesperation strung up -cowards into heroes, and fragile women, grasping their weapons, swung them about the cradles, impatient for the time to strike the blow In behalf of household and country. The day of execution dawned. Go' enent cfflcials, armed and drilled, cowed before the battle shout--elop. pressed people. The cry2i defeat rang bck tothe palaces, b tMbove the moun tans of dead, 75,000 crusbed and mangled co es, sounded the triumph of the ~red Jews, and their enthusi asm as when the highlanders came e relief of Lucknow, and i~he Eng army, vhich stoodln the very jaws of death, at the sudden hope of assist ance and rescue lifted the shout above blching cannon and the death groan of hosts, crying, "We are saved! We are saved!" My subject afords me opportunity of mlustrating what Christian character may he under the greatest disadvantages. There is no Christian now exactly what he wants to be. Your standard is much higher than anything you have attained unto. If terebe any man s pffed up as to be thoroughly satisfied with the amount of excellency he has already at tained, Ihaveinothinlg tomsay to such a one. But to those who are dissatisfied with past attninmllents, who are toiling under disadvantages which are keepimg them from heing what they ouzht to be, I hae amasage from God. You each of you labor under difficulties. There is something in your temperament, in your calling, that acts powerfully against you. Admitting all this, I introduce you to Haaaah of the t'ext, a noble Christian, notwithstanding the mosc gigantic difli culties. She whom you might have expected to be one of the worst of wo men, one of the best. In the first place, our subject is an illustration of what Christiaxr characrer may be uder orphanage. This Bible line tells a long story about Hadassab. "She had neither father nor mother." A nobleman had become her guardian, ht there is no one who can take the place of a parent. Who so able at nigt to hear a child's prayer or at twilight to chide youthful wanderings or to soothe youthful sorrows? An indi vidual will go through lIfe bearing the marks of orphanage. It will require mre strength, more persistence, more grace, to make such a one the right kind of a Christian. He who at 40 years loses a parent must reel under the blow. Even down to old age men are accus tomed to rely upon the counsel or be powerfully influenced by the advice of parents if they are stdll ahive. But how much greater the bereavement when it comes in early life before the character is self reliant and wbeoz natu rally the heart is unsophisticated and easily tempted! And yet behold what a nobility of dis position Hadassah exhibited. Though father and mother had gone, grace had tnumped over all disadvantages. Her willingness to self saornfice, her control over the king, her humility, her faithful worship of God, show her to have been one of the best of the world's Chris There are those who did not enjoy remarkable early privileges. Perhaps, like the beautiful capt'.ve of the text, you were an orphan. You had huge sorrows in your little heart. Y ou sometimes wept in the night when you knew not what was the matter. You felt ad sometimes even on the play ground. Your father or mother did not stand In the door to welcome you when e.ts - c& f e.,riy disadvan- t aues and ' u t av otoetimes offered t bec a .on r sunot being as I u as you would like i o b,. But tbese ex.:uses are uo suffi ent? Gi i's raca will triu-ngh if vCU I -ek it. He knows what obstecles you 1 ave foug'ht aainst, and the more tiial i be more htlp Af er bli there are no i >rphans iu the world. for th great God < s the Fater of us all. Agaia o'r subject is an i:utraion o' what reli 'Ion may be u-der the. pre sure >t poverty.

At the comenMCucement of business, at the entrance. upnn a prolession, when friends are few and the world is afraid or you bretu:e there is a possioity of fainare, many of the noblesthearts have stwn2 led anitnst poverty and are now strugng. T> such I bear a messaze of good cher. Yon say it is a hard thicg f)r ycu to bi a Christian. This constant at x-ety, this unresting calcula tion, wezr out the buayancy ot your spirit, and, althcugh'you have told per haps no one abrut it, cannot I tell tmat this is the very trouble which keeps, you ougit to be? You have no time to tinr about LANing up treasures in heaven when i : a matter of great duot whe ther you pill be enabled to pay your next quarter's rent. You cannot think of striving after a robe ot righteousness until you can zet means enouth to buy an overcoat to keep out the c'ld. You want the bread of 1:f.,, but you think you must get along without that until you can buy another barrel of flour for your wife and chilaren. Sometimes you sit down disciuraged and almost wish you were caaad. Christians in satin slippers, with their feet on damask ottoman, may scout at such a class of temptations, but those who themselves have been in the strug gle and arip of hard misfortune can ap preciate the power of these evils to dis suade the soul away religalous duties. We admit the strength of the tempta tion, but then we point to Hadassah, her poverty equaled by her p:ety. Cour age, down there in the battle! Hurl away Scu- disappointment. Men of half ycur heart haye through Chriat been more than conquerors. In the nane of God, come oat of tha-! The religion of Christ is just what you want out there among the empty flur barrels and be side the clod hearths. You have never told any one of what a hard time you have had, but God knows it as well as you know it. Your easy times will come after awhile. D) not let your spirits break down midlife. What if your coat is thm! R-a fast enough to keep warm. What if you have no luxuries on your table? Hiah expectations will make your blood tingle better than the best MAdeira. If you cannot afford to smoke, you can afford to whistle. But merely animal spirits are not sufficient; the power of the gos pel-that is what you want to wrench despair out of the seul and put you for ward into the front of the hosts incased in impenetrable armor. Again, our subject illustrates what religion may be u-ider the temptation of personal attractiveness. Tae mnspired record says of the heroine of my text, "She was fair and beautiful." Her very name signified "a myrtle." Yet the ad miration and praise and fiattery of the world did not blight her humility. The simpliity of her manners and behavior equaled her extraordinary attractions. It is the same divine goodness which puts the tinge on the rose's cheek, and the whiteness into the lily, and the gleam on th'e wave, and that puts color in the cheek, and sparkle in the eye, and ma - jesty in the forehead, and symmetry mino the form, and gracefulness into the gait. But many through the very charm of their personal appearance have been destroyed. What simuperings end etetal tions and impertinencejthaib often been the result of thiMA Which God sent as a bTieigt dponicas, anemones and heliotropes never swagger at the beauty wich God planted in their very leaf, sepal, axil and stamen. There are many flowers that bow down so modest ly you cannot see the color in their cheek until you lift up their head, put ting your haad under their round chin. Indeed any kind of personal attractions, whether they be those of the body, the mind or the heart, may become tempta. tions to pride and arbitrariness and f.aol ish acsumption. The mythological story of a man who, seeing himself in a stream, became so enamored of his appearance that he died of the eflects illustrates the fatalities un der which thousands of both sexes have fallen by the view of their own superiori ty. Extraordinary capacities cause ex traordinary temptations. Men who have good moral health down in the valley, on the top of the mountain are seizsd of consumptron. Momrmia, the wife of Mithrdtes, was strangled with her own diadem. While the most ot us will not have the same kind of temptation whiah Hadassah must have felt from her attrac tiveness of personal appearance, there may be some to whom it will be an ad vantage to hold up the character of the beautiful captive who sacridiced not her humility and earnestness of dispoiton to the world's admiration and latter. The chief sceret of the beauty of the violet is that away down in the grass from one week's end to asother it never mistrusts that it is a vioiet. Again, our sul-ject exhibits what reli gin may be under bad domestic infiu ences. Hadassah was snatched from the godly home into which she had been adopted and introdaced in the absomina ble associations of which wicked A&hasu es was the center. What a whirl of blasphemy and drunkenntss and becen tiousnesr! No altar, no prayer, no Sab bath, no Gcd! If this captive girl can be a Christian there, then it is possible to be a Christian anywhere. There are many of the best people of the world who are obliged to contend with the most adverse domestic influences, chil dren who have grown up into the love of Godunder the frown of parents and un der the d:scouragement of bad examoie. Some sister of the family having profess ed the faith of Jesus is the subject of un bounded satire inflcted by brother ahd sisters. Yea, Hadassah was not the only Chritian who had a queer husband. It is no easy matter to maintain cor rect Christian prmnciples when there is a companien disposed to scoff at them and to ascrine every imrperfection of charasc. ter to hypocrisy. What a hard thing for one member ot the family to rightly keep the Sabbath when others are disposed to make it a day of revelry, or to incul cate propriety of speech in the minds ci children when there are others to offser the instructions by loose and profane ut terancs, or to be regularly in attendance upon church when there is no more household work demanded for the Lord's day than for any secular day. Do 1 speak to any laboring under these dis advantages? Mv subject is full of en cragement. Vast responsibilities rest upon ycu. Be faithful, though you stand as much alone as did Lot in Sodom, or Jeremiah in Jerusalem, or Jonah in Nineveh, or Badassah in the court of he best when their roots clutch among he iagged rocks, and you verily have int poor soil ia which to develop, but race is a thorcuzh husbandman and can ase a crop anywhere. Glassware is nolded over the tie, and in the same vay yoa are to be fitted as a vessel of nercy. Tne best timber must have on saw and gouze ani beetle. The foun lation stone of yours and every other iouse came out only under crowbar and >!ast. F.les and wrenches and ham ners belong to the church. The Chris oian victory wAl b- br'ght just in pro >oriLon as the battle is hot. Never des pair being a thorough Chrlstian in any ousehold which is not worse than the ,curt of Ahasuerus. Finally our subject illustrates what -eligion may be in high worldly position. rbe last we see in the Bible of aadissah [a t*,at she has become the queen of Persia. Prepare now to see the depar ure of bec humnility and self sacrifice and religious principle. As she goes up you may expect grace to go dawn. It is easier to be humble in the obscure house of her adopted father than on a thorne of do minion. But you misjudge this noble woman. What she was before she is ow-'.he myrtle. Applauded for her neauy and her crown, she forgets not the cause o0 her suffering people, and with all simplicity of heart still remains a worshiper of the God of heaven. Noble example, fillowed only by a very few. I address some who, through the goodness of God, have usen to posi tions of infiaecca in the community where you live. In lay, in merchandise, in medicine, in mechanics and in other uEfil occupations and professions you hold an influence for good or for evil. Let us see whether, like Hadassab, you can stand elevation. Have yoa as much simplicity of character as once von Evi deuced? Da ion feel as much deper. dence upon God, as much your own weakness, as much ycut -accuntability for talents intrusted? Or are you proud and overdemanding and ungrateful and unsympathetic and worldly and sensual and dev1isL? Then you have bcen spoiitd by your success, and you shall not sit on this throne with the heroine of my text. In the day when Hadassah shall come to the grasder coronation in the presence of Christ and the bannered hosts of the redeemed you will be poor indeed. Oh, there are thousands of men who can easily endure to be knocked down of misfortune, who are utterly des troved if lifted up of success. Satan takes them to the top of the pinnacle of the temple and shoves them oft. Their head begins to whirl, and they lose their balance, and down they go. While last autumn all through the for eats there were luxuriant trees with maderate outb:anch aad moderate height pretendmng but little, there were foliage plants that shot fa: up, looking down with contempt on the whole forest, clap ping their hands in the breeze and shout ing, "Aha, do you not wish you were as high up as we are?" But last week a blast let loose fron the north came rushing along, and graapling the boast ing oaks hurled tnem to to the around, and as they went down an old tree that had been singing palams with the thun der a hundred summers cried out, "Pride goeth before destruction and a hauzhty spirit before a tall." And humble hick ory and pine and chestnut that had never said their- prayers before bowed their heads as much as to say, "Amen." My friends, "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to humble." Take from my subject encouragement. Attempt the service of God whatever your disadvan - tages, and whatever our lot let us seek that grace which outshone all the splen d~rs of the palaces of Shushan.. THE STATE'S SCHOOLS.

Gyv ernor and Caairman of the State ( 25 L, B 1ar of l Co tro, oumia Y . C "Honored Sir: i notice through the papers that the Act of 1893, known as the Dispensary Act, h.s been declared goeo and valid by the Saupre a Court of this State. You no dount remember that just previous to the rendition of t the decision in Mcullough rs. Brown, s in which the Act of 1892 was declared unconstitutional, I called a' your o ie t in obe.ience to a sum mne from you ' and, while there, the situation in Flor ence was discussed relative to the prof- r its which, under the law, should be turned over to this city. I endeavored then to state to you fully my action rel ative to the enforcement of the law at this place, to wit: That we had always furnished the constables with all the aid desired by them for their protection and assistance in the performance of t'ieir duties here; and that the County Board of Control, who had kept a snarp watch over my conduct, had stated to you by letter that we should receive our profits as they had made thorough in- b vestigation of the matter and were sat isfied that the city authorities had done what they could to suppress the illicit t traffic of liquors in this city. You no t doubt remember stating to me on that occasion that you would order our profits turned over to us and desired our co-operation in the enforcement of the law. The next day the above de cision was filed and since then every thing has been taking its own course here and elsewhere, and nothing fur ther has pissed between us concerning the profits and the enforcement of the law. Since this law has now received thesanction of the highest court in the State it will be necessary for all citizens to bow to it. To enforce it will be a difficult task to thcse who have it in charge and it wiil take no doubt the combined efforts of the State, county and city autnorities to give the law the I effect aimed at, to wit: Absolutely con fining the sale of whiskey to the Dis pensaies, but with the co-opt ration of these it occurs to me that it might be enforced without friction and without much expense. My reason for saying this is as follows: Numbers of the best people in this city are in sympathy with the law and will assist in its en- I forcement if properly treated and will I aid in the conviction of the parties who I violate it. I am quite satisfied that if the State Board of Control will turn over to us the profits now d".e us, which we are justly entitled to, and we get .gqoprtiea-6f the profits hereafter made, the Illicit traffic in whiskey in the city of Florence can be suppressed with the aId of one State Constable. The reason is that when our best citi zens find that they will be benefited and3 their taxes lessened by the profits de rived from this source they will heart ily join in with the city authorities and see that this law is properly carried out and by that means we will all be beneited. I would like to hear from you as to whether you do not think that the vie ws herein expressed reason able and whether the request made not - just and proper.
