THE SICK GENERAL. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage Dowells on ti Leprosy of Sin. BROOKLYN, Nov. IS.-Rev. Dr. Ta mage has chose as the subject of today sermon through the press "The Sic General," the text selected being ] Kings v. 1, "He was a leper." Here we have a warrior sick, n< with pleurisies or rheuniatisnis or coi sumptions. but with a disease - wor than all these put together. A re mark has come out on the forehea< precursor of complete disfiguremei and dissolution. I have soiethin awful to tell you. General Naamar the commaniler in chief of all tb Syrian forces, has the leprosy: It i on his hands, on his face, on his fee on hi entire person. The leprosy GOtMont of the way of the pestilenc< is breath strike you, you are a dea man. The commander 'in chief of a the forces of Syria: And yethe woul begladtoexchangeconditions with ti boy at his strirrup or the hostler th. blankets his chargor. The news go< like wildfire all through the realm. an the people are synpathetic, and the; cry out, "Is it possible that our grer hero, who slew Ahab and aroun ,whom we came with such vociferatio when he returned from victorious ba te-can it be possible that our gran andglorious Naamenhasthe leprosy: Yes. Everybody has something b wishes he had not-David. an Absalo to disgrace him: Paul, a thorn to stin Vhim;ob, carbuncles to plague hinr Samson a Delilah toshear him; Ahal a Naboth to deny him: Haman, Mordecai to irritate him; Georg Washin ton, childlessness to affi< him; Jon Wesley, a termagant wil to pester him; Leah, weak eyes: Pop a crooked back: Byron. a club foo John Milton,. blind eyes: Charl Lamb, an insane sisters. and you som thing which you never bargained fc afid would like to get rid of. The rez son of this is that God does not war this world to be too bright. Otherwis we would always want to stay and eo these fruits and lie on these loung and shake hands in this pleasant soci< ty. We are only in the vestibule of grand temple.' God does not want u to stay on the doorstep. and therefor he sends aches and annoyances an bereavements of all sorts to push u .-on and push us up toward riper fruit and 'ri ter society and more radian *prspertis.God is only whippin us ahaThe reason that Edwar< Payson and Robert Hall had mor rapturous views of heaien than othe people had was because, through thei aches and God pushed them nearer u * . If God dashes out one of you pcueit is only to show to you-. hter one. If 'he sti ~or'foc wihgout, you b~ n with neurlgui ~~ axi inextinguisha'b] '-brt it is only because he is prepal *ing to substitute a better body tha you ever dreamed of when the morti shall put on irmnortality. It isto push you on anid to push vo up towardsomething grander and be ter that God sends upon you, ashe di upon General Naaman something yo do not want. Seated in his Syria mansion, all the walls glittering wit the shields which he had captured i battle, the corridors crowded wit adirig'viitrs who just wanted I see him ocmusic and mirth an banquetino' filling all the mansio 'from tessei'lated floor to pictured cei ing, Naaman would have forgotte that there was anything better an would have been olad to stay ther - 10,000 years. But, o%. how the shield 1dim, and how the visitors fly the hal and how the music drops h1ead froi - the string, and how the gates oft]: mansion slam shut with sepulchti bang as you read the closing worc of the eulogium: "He was a lepe2 He was a leper!" There was one person more sympi thetic with Genral Naaman than an other person. Nanman's wife walli the floor wringing her hands and tr] ing' to think what she can do to all viate her husbands suffering. A ~remediesbaie ied. The surgeo ~ the doctors of the roy: talaemet, and they have shake their heads, as much as to say, "N cure, no cure !" I think that the offic seekers had all folded up their recon mendations anid gone home. Probabl most of the employees of the establish ment had dropped their work an were -thinking of looking for somn other situation. What shall now b< come of poor Naaman's wife? Sb must have sympathy somewhere. I: her despair she goes to a little Hebre' captive, a servant girl in her house to whom she tells the whole story, a sometimes, when overborne by the so: rows of the world and finding no syn: -pathy anywhere else, you have gon out and fouind in the sympathy c some humble domestic-Rose or Dina or Bridget-a help) which the worl could not give you. What a scene it was: One of th grandest women in all Syria in cab net council with a waitng maid ove the declininer health of the might eneral. "if know something," say~ te little captive maid, "I know some thing," as she bounds to her bare feel "In the land fromh which I was stole: there is a certain prophet known b; the name of Elisha. who can cure al most anything', and I shouldn't wor der if he could cure my master. Seni for him right away.' ':Oh, hushl you say. "If the highest medical tal ent in all the land cannot cure tha leper, there is no need of your lister ing to any talk of a servant girl. But do not scoff, do not sneer. Th finger of that little captive maidi poiting in the right direction. Sh might have said: "This is a judgmen upon you for stealing me from m:; native land. Didn't they snatch nm off in the night, breaking my father' and mother's hearts, and many a tunm I have lain and cried all night becaus< I was so homesick. Then flushed uj in childish indignation, she mig~h have said: "Good for them. I'm gla< Naaman's got the leprosy. I wish al the Syrians had the leprosy :' No Forgetting her personal sorrows, sh. sympathizes with the sutfering of he master and commends hin to the fui mous Hebrew prop~het. And how often it is that the finge of childhood has pointe'd grown 1et sons in the right cureetion: O) Chiris tain soul, how long is it since you go rid of the leprosy of' sin ? You say "Let me see. It miust be live yeare Who was it that pointed you to th divine physician? '"Oh." you say, "i was mltl Amie or Fred or Chai 1ev tat 1ai1rvu up en m. me. a id looked into mv face and asked me why 1I didn't become a Christain, 5 and all tie time strokini mv cheek,so 1 couidn't get angry. insisted upon knowing why I didn't have family 1 prayers. There are grandparents who have been brought to Christ by their little grandchildren. There are e hundreds of Christain mothers who had their attention first called to Je sus by their little children. How did you get rid of the leprosy of sin? How did vou find your way to the divine a physician: 'Oh. you say. -my child, my darling child, with wan and wast ed finger. pointed that way. Oh, I never shall forget, you say, "that i scene at the cradle and the crib that awful night: It was hard, hard. very hard, but if that little one on its dying d bed had not pointed me to Cdrist I (lont tiunk 1 ever would have got rid of myi leprosy.- Go into the ISabbath ~ school any Sunday. and you will find hundreds of little fingers pointiog in the same direction, towards Jesus e Christ and towards heaven. Years ago the astronomers calcula ted that there Must be a world hang I- ing at a certain point imn tihe heavens. s and a large prize was Otfered for some k one who could discover that world. I The telescopes from the greatest ob servations were pomited in vain, but a >t girl at Nantucket, Mass., fashioned a - telescope, and looking through it dis e covered that star and won the' prize I and the admiration of all the astrono L mical world that stood amazed at her .t genius. And so it is often the case that grown people cannot see the light, while some little child beholds e the star of pardon, the star of hope. s the star of consolation. the star of Bethlehem,the morning star of Jesus. 4 "Not many mighty men, not many ! wise men, are called, but God hath d chosen the weak things of this world 11 to confound the mighty, and base d things and things that are not to bring e to naught things that are." Oh. do .t not despise the prattle of little child s ren whmien tiey are speaki-ng about I God and Cliriist and heaveni. You see : the way your child is pointing. Will t you take that pointing or wait until in the wrench of some awful bereave a ment, God shall lift that child to another world, and then it will beck d on you upward? Will you take the pointing, or will von wait for the e beckoning? Blessed be God that the a little Hebrew captive pointed in the g right direction. Blessed be God for * the saving ministry of Christian chil dren. a No wonder the advice of this little e Hebrew captive threw all Naaman's t mansion in Ben-hadad's palace into e excitement. Goodby, Naaman! With face scarified and ridged and inflamed by the pestilence and aided by those s Who supported him on either side, he staggered out to the chariot. Hold fast the fierv coursers of the royal stable while'the poor sick man lifts his swoolen feet and pain struck limbs e into the vehicle. Bolster him up with the pillows and let him take a linger ing look at his bright apartments, for perhaps the Hebrew captive may be a mistaken. and the next time Naaman a comes to that place he may be dead e weight on the shoulders of those who carry him, an expired chieftain seek ing sepulture amid the lamentations of an admiring nation. Goodby, Naa sman ! Let tihe charioteer drive gently t. over the hills of Hermon, lest he jolt the invalid. Here goes the bravest man of all his day, a captive of a hor rible-disease. -As the ambulance winds ethrough the streets of Dami~scus the r tears and prayers of all the people go Safter the world'i-enowned invalid. rP~ilaps you have had an invalid n o out from your house on a health texcursion. You know how the neigh bors stood around and said, "Alh, lie ewill never come back again alive!" Oh, it was a solem moment, I tell you, when the individual had departed, and 1you went into the room to make .the bed, and to remove the medicine vials ufrom the shelf, and to throw open the shutters, so that the fresh air might drush into the long closed room. Good by, Naaman! There is only one cheer ful face looking at him, and that is the face of the little Hebrew captive, who is suire he will get cured, and who is so glad she helpe him. As the chariot winds out, and the escort of dmounted cources, and the mules, laden with sacks of gold and embroidered suits of apparel, went through the gates of Damascus and out on the long awar, the hills of Naphtali and Ephra im 'look down on the procession, and the retinue goes right past the battle fields were 3aaman, in the days of his health, used to rally his troops for e fearful onset, and then reclines awhile in the groves of olive and oleander, ,and General Naamian sosick, so very, very sick! I- ow the countrymen gaped as the procession passed! They had seen sNaman go past like a whirlwind in -days gone by and had stood aghast at -the clank of'his war equipments, but 1 now they commiserate him. They say: "Poor mani! He will never get I home alive. Poor man !' a Gener'al Naaman wakes up from a o restless sleep in the chariot, and he e says to the charioteer, "How long be L- for-e we shall reach the Prophet Elisha" The charioteer says to a waysider, -"How far is it to Elisha's house?" l He says. "Two miles." "Two. miles? e Then' they whip up the lathered and Sfagged out horses. The whole pro e cession brightens up at the prosp~ect a of speedy arrival. They drive up .to cthe door of the prophet. The chario teers shout'"Whoa!" to the hoi'ses, and tramping hoofs aiid grinding wheels -cease shaking the earth. Come out. Elisha, come out. You have company. e The grandest company that ever came fto your house has conme to it now. No istir inside Elisha's house. Tihe fact was the Lord had informed Elisha that the stick captain was coming and just e how to treat him. Indeed when you Sare sick and the Lord wants you to get ! well he always talls the doctor how to ~-treat yotu, and the reason we have so ' many bungling doctors is because they .depend upon their own strength anal instructions and not on the Loi'd God, Sand that always makes malpractice. Come ouitElisha, and attend to your business. -General Naaman andl his retinue waited and waited. The fact was Naaman had two diseases-pride and -leprosy. The one was as hai'd to get t rid ot' as the other. Elisha sits quietly in his house and does not go out. After awhile. when he thinks lie has a humbled this proud man, lhe says to a s servant. "Go out and tell General SNaaman to bath seven time in the t riV'er' Jordan. out yoinder live miles, Sand ie will get enitirely well." The Smesseage conies out.

"What:!' Isn't lie coming I out to seme? Why, Ithought certain .lv lie would come aiid utter some cab a'listic words over mec or make some enimatical passes over my wounds. - Whv. I don't think lie knows who I am.' Ins't lie cominig out. Why, when the Shuniamite woman came to - him, lie rushed out and cried: 'Is it - well with thee? It is well with thy t husband: Is it well with thy child? :And will lie treat a poor' unknown wo . an like that and let mue, a titled per e sonag,sit here ini my chariot and wait t anl wait ?

Are not Abana a Pharpar, rivers of Danwvscus, bet thain all the waters of Isreal." I suppose Naiaa felt very nii as Americans would feel if. by way medical prescription, some one sho1 tell us to go and wash in the Dam or the Rhine. We would answ -Are not the Connecticut and Hudson just as good ?" Or as an I glishinan would feel if he were t by way rd medical. prescription must go and wash in the Mississi or the St Lawrence. le would < out, "Are not the Thames and Shannon just as well?" The fact - that haughty Naanan needed to le. what every Englishman and ev( American needs to learn-that wl God tells you to do a thing you m go and do it, whether you underst the reason or not. Take the presei tion, whether you like it or not. C thing is certain. Unless haug Naaman does as Elisha conia him lie will die of his awful sickn< And unless you do as Christ c) mands you vou will be seized upon an everlasting wasting away.

The charioteer give jerk to the right line until the snaps in the horse's mouth, and whir of the wheeg and the lving the dust show the indignation of 1 great commnander. 'He turned a went away in a rage. So people n1 often get mad at religion.

What has he been ing. Only trying to cure their de. dealing feprosy. That. is all. they whip up their horses, they in the spurs. and they go away i rage. So, after all, itseems that this hea excursion of General Naaman is to a dead failure. That little Hebr captive might as well have not t him of the prophet, and this 10 journey might as well not have b taken.

Waite, formerly a customs official. nes has fig'ured out for the National Sta of tistical association that- over 5,000,000 ato- voters remained away from the polls "this fall and changed the political He complexion of the country. Mr. ndl Wtunso analysis of the election re :al~trso New York in 1892, town by town, shows that Republican farmers fhthen allowed the election to go by de .nd fault. This year the Republicans his have not cast'as large a per .cent of .the full vote in a single state as in~ .nd 1888. Hence, the only reasonable bs. conclusion, says Mr. Waite, is that, like the discontented Republicans in nd 1892, the disconteinted Democrats this the year joined the stay at home voters. so -This stay at hlome vote has increased gn in New'York from 75,000 in 1888, to )l 185,000 in 1892, and to 425,000 this year. In Pennsylvania it was 70,000 ys, in 1888. 230.000 in 1892, and 400,000 iuts this year. It has increased in Ohic .n( from'40,000 in 1888 to 115.000 in 1892 ie and 290,000 this year. In Michigan .nd there were 240,000 stay at homes this his year, 20,000 in 1888 and 105',00 in a !' 892. South Carolina, when she had .nd 50.000 less volers than at present, cast sel 183.621 voses for Hayes and Tilden, ic while thlis year her total vote is not mit luch over 60,0001, or about one fourth ad. of heir full vote. Wisconsin has not in- polled for the Democratic candidates .an so small a vote for 25 years, nor has we the Democratic par'ty in Pensylvania ice received so few votes in half a centu 1at ry.

C., Nov. 21.-The an nualreports of the railroads for the year ending October 31st, 1894; have been made to the Railroad Commission and will be printed for the benefit of the Legislature. These reports do not indicate that the roads are in such ter rible condition financially. The total net income of all the roads is nearly a million and a half dollars. Only half a dozen roads, as will be observed from the figures, show a deficit. All- the big roads of the State show large net incomes. From. the figures of the operating expenses it will be seen that the roads have cut expenses heavily.
