TALMAGE'8 BE&MOlf
| In Whioh He Intrt duces Hope to the
Invalid and Erring ones.
In this disoourso Dr. Talmago would
lift people out of despondenoy and
bring something of future Joy into earthly
depression. Tho text is Hebrews
vi, 19, "Whioh hopo."
There is an Atlantic Ocean of depth
and fullness in the verse from whioh
my text is taken, and I ouiy wade into
tho wave at the veanh and tako two
words. We all havo favorite worda cx
pressivo of;delightor abhonoaoe, word*
that easily find their way from brain
to lips, words that havo ia them morn
ings and midnights, laughter and tears,
thunderbolts and dewdrops. In ail
the lexicons and vooabularios there arc
few words that havo for mo the attractions
of tho last word of my t<xt,
* "Wbioh hope."
There havo in tho oouree of our life
been many angels of God that havo
looked over our shoulders, or mot us on
the road, or chanted the darkness away,
or lifted the curtains of tho great iu
turo, or pulled us baok from tho prooipiocs,
or rolled down upon us tho rap
turous musio of tho heavens, thoro is
one of thcBO angels who has dono so
muoh for us that wo wish throughout
all time and all otcrnity to oolobiate it
?the angel of Hopo. St Paul makes
it tho oontcr of a group of thrco, saying
"Now abidoth faith, hopo, charity/'
And, though ho says that charity is
the greatest of tho three, he does not
tako one plume from too wing, or ono
ray of lnstor from tbo brow, or ono
aurora from tbo ohcck, or ono melody
from the voice of tho angel of my text,
"Wliioh hopo."
That wao a great night for our world
whon in a Bethlehem caravansary tho
Infant Royal was born, and that will
bo a great night iu tho darkness of your
bouI when Christian hopo is torn.
There will bo chanting in tho skies ai d
a star pointing to tho Nativity. I wilt
not bothor you with the hu?;k of a definition
and tell you what hopo is.
When wo sit down hungry at a table,
we do not want an analytical discourse
as to what bread is. Uand it on; pass
it round; givo us a slico of it. .John
speaks of hope as a "pure hopo." Pet6r
oallsit a "lively hopo." Paul stylis it
a "good hopo," a "euro hopo," a "ro^
joioing hopo." All up and down tho
Biblo it is spoken of as au anohor, as a
harbor, as a hoimoi, as a door.
When wo draw a ohcck on a bank,
nu uiuat iiavu ruiorancu ui 1:1c aaiuuui
of monoy we have deposited, but Hope
makes a draft on a bank in which for
her benefit all hoaven has been deposited.
Hope! May it light up every
dungeon, stand by every sickbed, lend
a helping hand to overy orphanage,
loosen every ohain, caress every forlorn
soul and turn the uupicturcd room cf
tho almshouse into tbo vestibule of
heaven! How suggostivc that mythology
declares that when all other deities
fled tho earth the goddces llopo remained
I
It was hope that revived John Knox
when on shipboard near the ooast of
Sootland he was foarfully ill, and he
was requested to look shoreward and
. asked if he know tho village near tho
ooast, and ho answered, "1 know it
well, for 1 seo tho steeple of that plaoo
I where God first opened my mouth iD
pubiio to his glory, and 1 am fully pcrsuaded
how weak that over I now ap
pear I shall not depart this lifo tili my
/ longuo shall glorify his holy namoin
tho samo place." His hope was rewarded,
and for twenty five more years
ho proaohed. That is tho hope which
sustained Mr. Morrcll of Norwich when
departing this lifo at twenty four years
of ago he deolared, '*1 should like to
understand tho secrets of oterchy bofore
tomorrow morning." That was
the kind of hope that the corpora! had
in tho battle when, after several standard
bearers bad falleo, be sefzid tho
rflag and turned to a lieutenant colonel
and faid, "Jf L fall, tell my dear wife
that I die with a geod hono in Christ
and th*t 1 am 'lad to give my life for
my country." That, was the good hope
that Dr. Goodwin had in his last hcur
whenhoBaid: "Ah, isthiedeath? Liov
hevo i dreaded as an oncmy this smll
ing friend!"
Many have full assurance that all is
right with the soul. They are as sure
of heaven as if they had passed the
pearly pauols of tho gate, at though
they were already seated in the temple
of God unrolling tho libretto of the
heavenly ohoristcr. I congratulate all
suoh. I wish I had it, too?lull assurance?but
with me it is hope. ' Which
hope." Sinful, it expects forgiveness;
troubled, it expects relief; bereft, it
expects reunion; clear down, it ex
peots wings to lift; shipwrcokid, it cxpeots
lifeboat; bankrupt, it ixpcetH
eternal richc6; a prodigal, it ixpects
the wide open door of the father's farmhouso.
It docs not wear itself unt hv
looking backward ; it always lo ks forward.
What ia too mo of giving bo
muoh time to the rehearsal of tho past ?
Your mistakca are not corrected by a
review. Your losses oaunot, by brooding
over them, bo turned into gains.
It ia tho future that has tho most for
ub, and hope ohccrs us on. We have
all committed blunders, but docs tho
oalling of tho roll if them mako them
any tho less blunders? Look ahead in
all matters of usefulness. However
muoh you may have accomplished for
God and the world's betterment, your
greatest usefulness is to cimo. "No,
says some ono, "my health is gone,"
'"No," saya some one, "ray money is
gono." "No," eays some one, "tho
most of my yearn are gono and therefore
my usefulness." Why, you talk
like an infidel. Do you suppose
that all your capacity to do
good ia fenood in by this life?
Aro you going to be a lounger
and a do nothing aftor you have q lit
this world? It ia my businota to toil
you that your faoulticH are to be enlarged
and intensified and your puiih
oationa for usefulness multiplied ten
fold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
la your health gono? 1 hen thai is a
sign that you aro to enjoy a celestial
health oomiared with winch too moat
jocund and hilarious vitality of earth

Ho said that ho was the blaok sheep of fo

tho world over and boon in all kinds th
of wickedness, but a few nights before, la
after reading a letter from his mother
m Scotland, ho had rotired for bleep, ov
but in the adjoining room he hoard p?
some young men in auoh horrible con
vernation ho colud not sleep. Ho was re
shocked as ho had cover before boon by U?
the talk of bad men. Ho arose, struck jn
a light, took out the letter from hia bo
mother and knelt down by his bodsido by
ar.d raid, "O Lord, God of my mother, th
havo mercy on mo!" He said that sinoo yo
that prayer ho was entirely changed th
9uu iovoa wn*t he botoro hated and \a
hated what he before lovrd and asked no
what I thought it all meant. I ropli- or
od, "You have bcoomo a Christian." th
He said ho might be called at any lirno jn
to leave the oity. I never saw him
again, butitceemcd to mo that he had th

And it may bo so with your boy. Write bo
him often. Toll him how you arc all
thinking or him at home, and, it may 00(
be, your lotter in hand, ho may call up- ja
on his mother's Cod to help and savo WA
him. Hope, you of the gray hairs and mc
wrinkles! Heaven has its thousands 6U,
of souls who were on jo as thoroughly QC
wrong as jour boy is. They repented, he(
and they are with tho old folks in the ho
healthy air of tho oternal hills, wlioro ha
they may booome young again. Ilopo
on, and, though you may never hoar of
your son's reformation and others may
think he has left this life hopolcss, who '
knows but that in tho last moment, ph
after he has ceased to speak and boforo i!u
his soul launohos away, rour prayer tio

too liallo to mistake a oaprioe, a fanoy,
a romantio day dream for true love.
First love is seldom true love. A
whole serios of light fanoios which have
been mistaken for love have often been
foilowod by the earnest passion of a
life.
The oredulity of womon on tho sub
jeet of being lovod is very great. Tboy
often mistake a little admiration for a
particular rogard, and on this foundation
build up a oastle in the air and
fill it with all the treasures of their
brightest hopes. It is aaror to bo vary
skeptical on the subject of being loved;
but if you make the mistake, take all
the blame on yoursolf and bsto your
dignity by socrooy, if you cannot keep
your heart from loving.
Men will always be polite, attentive
complimentary and paying yon all sorts
of little flatteries, both of words and
aoiions. Adept *htm quietly and
calmly, as yuur right, but never soom
to give more weight than in niuo oasrs
cut of ton they have.
Hurry no oourtship into au orgagemoot,
and never make an engagement
from whioh yon cannot honorably withdraw.
When you feel peifcotly sura that
you love a man, there aro many subile
ways for you to lot him know it. 1
have always failed to uoderstacd why
woman should not choose their husbands
and why only unmarried reigning
queens oan do so 1 do not sco why
they shou d not propose. Of oourse,
thoy should do so in a manner quite
different from that in whioh men propose.
Hit very ofton a girl oan mako her
ohoico from a oirolo of admirers, giving
tho needed encouragement to tho ono
she prefers, and deciding for herself
her life's destiny.
There are men, and very ifton tho
best, too, who aro shy and need oncouragomont,
inasmuch as it should be
remembered that the men who dcolare
their love in some beautiful languago
r ro those who love least truly.
The real lover is a stammerer. If
tho woman whom ho lovos should return
his affection, sho should givo him
all tho discreet encouragement sho oan.
Bolter marry a man of this sort than
a Thomas Carlylo, who spent his life
writing sweet love letters to his wifo
and never suosecdod in saying a pleasant
thing to her and in making her
happy when in her proscroe.

and influence in its behalf, llo is not
simply lending it the moral support of
his approval, but is actively at work in
the cause. Ho proposes to advooato
the adoption by tho ucxt session of the
legislature of a bill to mako tho Siato
railroad oommissioners also ojinmissinners
of publio highway. Ha says
tho public roadways aro soared? seoond
in importanoo to the State's railroads,
and tho commissioners might well
tiavo supervision of both. Their time
is rot fully oouupiod with the railroads,
snd they might greatly improve the
publio roadways of Carolina by sys
iomatiziog the county work and establirhmg
a gonoral plan that will enoour
ige permanent improvements, the use

A FATAL W&10X
A Scene of Indeaoribabla Confunion
and Horror
A fatal wrrok occurred on the Santa
Fe Railroad, one mile west of Franoonia,
Arizon, a siritoh station 20
miles east ot Needles, (Jal., early Wednesday.
Seven trainmen were killed,
t'?ree passengers and 14 trainmen injured.
Limited trains, bound eastward
and westward, crushed togother while
running at full speed.
Tho eastbound train was drawn by
engines, while the westbound train had
but one locomotive. The trains were
orushed and blown to pieces by an explosion
wnioh followed the oollision.
Both tra<ns weio made up of vestibule
oars of the heaviest kind, and whilo
they itojd tho tcrrifio shook woll and
proteoied tho passengers to a great extent,
srvoralof oars took fire at onoe
and burned up. The dining oars, one
on each train, ono Pullman and two
oomp .trite oars were destroyed.
ico oonjsiOQ in Mid to have boon
duo to adit regard of orders by tho orew
of iho west bound train, though full
partiou'ais on this point aro as yet
laoking. From all accounts, however,
it in gathered that tho oast bound train
had ordors to tako the siding at Franoonia
and await tho passing of the west
bound flyer, whioh was running two
hours late, and tryiwg to makeup time.
The east biuod train failed to reaoh
the siding, and, as the west bound train
did not wait for i., tho two trains oame
together without warning and with an
awful orash. The boiler of tho west
b<und engico is said to havo exploded
immediately after tho orash, scalding
to death those of the engine orew who
had not boon killed outright.
A eoone of awful confusion followed.
Tho massive engines piled up in an indesoribablo
mass of broken and twistod
s'eel, while the toalding steam huog
in a dense, suifooating olould ovor tho
dobris, from whioh tho agonising cries
of the injured and dying engineer oonld
bo hcaru. The heivy Pullmans and
ocmposito oars jammed the dining and
baggago oars upon the heated pile of
debris, carrying death to tho dining oar
orows and sotting the oars afire.
From tho meagre detailaof thesoones
gathered from tho passongers, it is
learned that the sleeping oars, with one
or two exoeptions, suffered slightly,
and as a result tho passongers were af
fordod comparative immunity from injury.
So far as loarnod, only three
passengers, all from California, suffered
injuries of a revere oharaoter, the
terrible results of tho wroek being confinod
almost entiroly to the train orews
and tbo employes of tho dining oar
seiviee.
Tho west bound limited oarried a full
passenger list from eastern oitic s, lut
it appoars nono were injured.
Bridal Superstitions.
Relative merits of the various months
with regard to ma*rimoDy are Bet forth
in tho old rhymo whioh runs:
"Marry when tho year is new,
Always loving, kind and trno;
When February birds do mate
You may wod. tor dread your fate.
If you wed when Maroh winds blow,
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
M
uiirry in iipru when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man;
Marry in tho mon-h of May,
You will surely ruo tho day;
Marry when June rosos blow,
Over land and sea you'll go.
They who in July do wed.
Must labor always for their bread.
Whoever wed in August bo,
Mauv a chance are sure to see.
Marry in Semptomber's shine,
Your living will be rioh and fine.
If in Octobor you do marry,
Love will oome, but riches tarry;
If you wed in bleak November,
Only jov will come, romember;
When December's snowa fall fast,
Marry, and truo lovo will last."
Of tho days in tho woek, Wednesday
ia the best and Saturday the worst on
which to get married. The old rhyme
runs:
"Mondty for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday tho best day of all,
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no luck at all."
If wo aro to believo superstition, a
bride's happiness depends not a little
on what sho wears. "Something old
and something new, something borrowed
and something bine," ie invariably
regarded by brides. Aooording
to an old rhyme:
"Married in white,
You havo chosen all right.
Married in grsy,
You will go far away.
Married iu black,
You will wish yoursolf back.
Married in red,
You bad bettor bo dead..
Married in green,
Ashamed to bo seen.
Married in blue,
You'll always be true.
Married in pearl,
You'll livo in a whirl.
Married in yellow,
Ashamed of tho fellow,
Mariiod in brown,
You 11 live out of tOWD.
Married in fink.
Your spirit will sink."
