WORK.
Talmage's Stirring Sermon oil
the "Queens of Home."
HEROINES OF THE FIRESIDE.
Ministering Angels. In the Sickroom.
What Her Chief
Desire Should Be.
In thin discourse the opportunities
f usefulness for women are set forth by
Dr. Talmago, and many sympathies are
stirred and memories recalled The
text is Solomon's Song vi, 8, "Thcro
arc threescore quootis."
So Solomon, by ouc stroke, sot forth
the imperial character of a truo Christian
woman. She is not a slave, not n
hireling, not a subordinate, hut a queen.
In a former sermon 1 showed you that
crown and courtly attendants and imperial
wardrobe were not necessary to
make a queen, but that graces of the
heart and life will give coronation to
any woman. I showed you at once at
some length that woman's position was
higher iti tac world than man's, and that
although she had often been denied the
right of suffrage, she always did vote and
always would vote by her inllucnco, and
that her chief desire ought to be that
she should have grace rightly to rule in
the dominion which she has alrcad won.
I began an enumeration of somo of her
rights, ami now I resume the suhjoot.
In the first plaec woman has the special
and the superlative right of blessing
and comforting the sick. What
land, what street, what house, has not
felt the smitings of disease? Tons of
thousands of sickbeds! What shall we
do with them? Shall man, with his
rough hand and clumsy foot, go stumbling
around the sickroom, trying to
soothe the distracted nerves and alleviate
the pains of the distressed patient?
Tho young man at college may scoff at
tho idea of being under maternal influences,
but at the first blast of typhoid
fever on his cheek he says, "Whoro is
mother?'' Walter Scott wrote partly
in satire and partly in compliment:
Oh, woman, in our hours of caso,
Uncertain, coy and hard to please,
When pain an anguish wring the brow,
A mi n i?t nri n tr <in>nl limit
v,lvu'
I think the most pathetic passage in
all the Bible is the description of tho
lad who went out to tho harvest field
of Shunetn and got sunstruek?pressing
his hands on his temples and crying
out: ''Oh, my head! My head!" And
they said, "Carry him to his mother."
And then the record is, "lie sat on her
knees till noon and then died."
And so it was also through all of our
war with Spain?women heroic on the
field, braving death and wounds to
reach the fallen, watching by their
fever cots in the West Indian hospitals
or on the troopships or in our smitten
homo camps. Men did their work
with phot and shell and carbine and
howitzer; women did their work with
socks and slippers and bandages and
warm drinks and Seriptvrc texts and
gentle strokings of the hot teinpics and
Btorics of that land where they never
have any pain. Men knelt down over
the wounded and said, "On which side
did you fight?" Women knelt down
over the wounded and said: "Whore
are you hurt? What nice thiug oan 1
make for you to eat? What wakes
you cry?" Tonight while we wen arc
sound asleep in our beds there will be
a light in yonder loft; there will be
groaning down that dark alley; there
will bo cries of distress in that cellar.
Men will sleep, andQwowcn will watch.
Again, woman has a special right to
take care of the poor. There are hundreds
and thousands of them all over
the land. There is a kind of work that
wen cannot do for the poor, Here

to the door of the I >orcas society. They
need to be clothed and provided for.
Which of these directors of banks would
know ho.v many yards it would take to
make that little girl a dress? Which
of these masculine hands eould fit a
hat to that little girl's head? Which
of the wise men would know how to
tio on that new pair of shoes?
OChristion young woman, if you
would make yourself happy and win the
blessing of Christ, go out among the
destitute. A loaf of bread or a bundle
of socks may make a homely load to
carry, but the angels of (iod will come
oat to watch and the Lord Almighty
will give bis messenger hosts a charge,
saying, "Look out for that woman,
canopy her with your wings and shelter
her from all harm," and while you arc
seated in the house of destitution and
suffering the little ones aiound tho
room will whisper: "Who is she? Ain't
she beautiful? ' And if you will listen
right sharply you will hear dripping

that shook Bethlehem, "Glory to God
in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will to men."
Can you tell me why a christian woman
going down among the haunts of
iniquity [on a christian errand never
meets with any indignity? I stood in
the ohapel of Helen Chalmers, the
daughter of the celebrated Dr. Chalmers,
in the most abandoned partoftho
city of Kdinburgh, and I said to her as
I looked around upon the fearful surroundings
of that place, "Do you come
hero nights to hold a service?" "Oh,
yes," she said. "Can it be possible
that you never meet with an insult
while performing this christian errand?
"Never," she said, "never." That
young woman who has her father by
her side walking down the street, armed
police at each corner is not so well defended
as that christian woman who
goes forth on gospel work into the
haunts of iniquity carrying tho bibles
and bread. God, with tho red right
arm of his wrath omnipotent, would
tear to pieces any one who should offer
indignity to her. lie would smito
him with lightnings and drown him
with floods and swallow him with
earthquakes and damn him with eternal
indignations.
Some ono said: "I disliko very much
to see that christian woman teaching
those bad boys in tho mission schools.
I am afraid to have her instruct them."
"So," said another man, "I am afraid
too." Said tho first, "I am afraid they
will uso vile language before they leave
the place." "Ah," said the other man,
.3 " 11 '* " '
,41 am not afraid of that. What t am
afraid of is, that if any of those boys
should use a bad word in hor prcsonco
tho other boys would tear hiui to pieces
and kill him on tho spot." That woman
is tho best sholtcrcd who is sheltered
by tho Lord Hod Almighty, and
you need never fear going >nywhorc
whore Hod Ulls you to go.
It socms ns if tho Lord had ordained
woman for an especial work in tho solicitation
of charitios. Lacked up by
barrels iu which there is uo Hour, and
by stoves in which there is uo firo, and
by wardrobes in which thcro is no
olothes. a woman is irresistible. Passing
on her errand, Hod says to her,
14 You go into that bank or store or shop
and'get the money." She goes in and
gets it. The aian is hard fisted, but
she gets it. She could not help but get
it. It is docrcoi from eternity who
should get it. No uccd of your turning

There is no need of your wasting your
time, and you might as well submit
lirst as last. You had better right away
take down your checkbook, mark tho
number of tho cheek, fill up tho blank,
sign your namo and hand it to her.
Thero is no need of wasting time. Thoso
poor children on tho back street have
been hungry long enough. That sick
man must have some farina. That con|
Mimptivc must havo something to case
his cough. 1 meet this delegato of a

says, "1 got tho monoy; that's what I
went in for. Tho Lord told mo to go in

Again, I havo to tell vou that it is a
woman's specific right to comfort under

well an sacred history attests that when
the crisis conies she is bettor prepared
than man to meet the omcrgenoy. How
I often you have seen a woman who seemed
to be a disciple of frivolity ar.d indolence,
who, under ono ntroko of calamity,
changed to a heroine. Oh,
what a great mistako those business mon
mako who never toll their business
troubles to their wives! There oomos
Bomo great loss to their storo, or sonio
of thoir companions in businoss play
them a sad trick, and thoy carry the
burden all alone, lie is asked in tho
household again and again:
"What is the matter?" Hut he h.
licves in a sort of Christian duty to kc? p
all that trouble within his own soul.
Oh, sir, your first duty was to tell y< ur
wife all about it! Sho perhaps might
not have disentangled your finances or
extended your credit, but she would
have helped you to bear misfortune.
You havo no right to carry on one shoulder
that which is intended for two.
Business men know what I mean. Thoro
caino a crisis in your alfairv You struggled
bravely and long, but after awhile
thcro camo a day when you said' "Hero
I shall havo to stop," and you called in
your partners, and you callod in the
most prominent mon in your employ,
and you said, "Wo havo got to stop."
You left tho storo suddenly. You
could hardly make up your mind to pass
through the street and over on tho for
ryboat. You t'olt everybody would bo
looking at you and blaming you and denouncing
you. You hastonod homo.
You told your wife all about the affair
What did alio Hay? Did alio play tho
butterfly? Did alio talk about tho
silks, and the ribbons, and tho fashions?
No. Sho eamo up to the cincrgenoy.
She <juailed under the stroko. Sho offered
to go out of tho comfortable houso
into a Hinallcr 0110 and wear the old
oloak another winter. Sho was the ono
who understood your affairs without
blaming you. You looked upon what
you thought was a thin, weak woman's
arm holding you up; but whilo you looked
at that arm there camo into the fcoble
muscles of it tho strength of tho
eternal God. No chiding. No fretting.
No telling you about the beautiful
houso of hor father from which you
brought her 10. 20 or "50 years ago.
You said: "Well, this is the happiest
day of my life. I am glad I have got
from under my burden. Myjwifo don't
caro?1 don't caro." at tho moment
you were exhausted God Hent a Deborah
to moot the host of Amalekites and
scatter them like chaff over tho plain.
There arc sometimes women who sit

crs. What grand and glorious things
they oould do if they only had an opportunity!
My sister, you noed not wait
for any such time. A crisis will coiuo
in your atlairs. There will bo a Thermopylae
in your household whero God
will tell you to stand. There aro
scores and hundreds of households today
whero as much bravery and courago
are domanded of women as was exhibited
by Graco Darling or Mario Antoinette
or Joan of Arc.
Again, I remark it is a woman's
right to bring to us the kingdom of heaven.
It is easier for a woman to be a
Christian than for a mat. Why? You
say she is weaker. No. Her heart is
more responsive to tho pleadings of divino
love. Sho is in vast majority.
Tho fact that she can more easily become
a Christian I prove by the statement
that throe-fourths of the members
of ohurches in all Christendom aro women.
So God appoints them to be tho |
oniot agencies tor bringing this world
back to GoJ. I may stand licro and
Hay tho houI is immortal; thcro in a man
who will deny it. I may stand here
and say we are lost and undone without
Christ; thcro is a man who will contradict
it. 1 may stand hero and say thcro
will be a judgment day after awhile;
yonder is some ono who will disputs it.
Hut a Christian woman in a Christian
household, living in tho faith and consistency
of Christ's gospol?nobody can
rofutc that. The greatest sermons are
not preached on celebrated platforms.
They are preaohed with an audicnco of
two or tlireo and in private homo life.
A consistent, consecrated Christian sorrico
is an unanswerable demonstration
of God's truth.
A sailor came slipping down tho ratlines
one night, as though something
had happened, and the sailors cried,
"What's tho matter?'' Ho said, "iMy
mother's prayer haunts me liko a ghost.
Homo influences, consecrated home influences,

so fast but tho prayers will keep up with
them.
1 speak to women who have tho eternal
salvation of their husbands in thoir
right hand. On marriage day you
took au oath before men and angels
that you would be faithful and kind until
death did you part, and I believe
you are going to kcop that oath, but
after that parting at tho gravo will it be
eternal separation? Is there any such
thing as an immortal marriage, making
the Hewers that grow on tho top of the
scpulcher brightor than tho garlands
which at the marriage banquet flooded

your father, your son, away from God?
The Lord demands their redemption at
your hands. There arc prayers for you
to ofl>r, thoro are exhortations for you
to give, there are examples for you to
set, and 1 say now, as Paul said to the
Corinthian woman, "What knowest
thou but thou shalt save thy husband?"
A man was dying, and he said to his
wifo: "Hcbecca, you wouldn't let tnc
have family prayers; you laughed about
all that, and you got mo away into
worldlinoss, and now I'm going to die,
and my fate is sealed, and you are the
cause of my ruin!" O woman, what
knowest thou but thou canst destroy
thy husband?
Aro there not some of-you who have
kindly influences at 1101110? Aro there
not some who have wandered far away
from God who can remember the Christian
influences in their early home?
Do not despiso those influences, my
brother. If you die without Christ,
what will you do with your mother's
prayers, with your wife's importunities,
with your sister's entreaties? What
will you do with the letters they used
to write to you, with tho memory of
those days when they attended you so
kindly in times of sickness? Oh, if
thoro bo just one strand holding you
from floating off from that dark sea, I
would just like to take hold of that
strand now and pull you to tho beach!
For the sake of your wife's (lod, for tho
;ko of your mother's God, for tho sake
f your sister's God, come this day and
and be saved.
Lastly I wish to say that one of tho
speoilie rights of woman is, through the
grace of Christ, finally to reach heaven.

Coast Lino wanted a share of this lease
as is shown in the annual statement of
Georgia railroad earnings for the past
year which arc no secret, and upon
which Col. T. lv. Scott, general man
agcr, has been receiving very warm
congratulations. These earnings show
that for tho second time in the history
of the road under tho lease it has earned
enough money to pay tho rental.
The earnings, including interest from
tho securities under tho lease, aro
$01-4,171). 00, or $1-4,170.00 over and

this is not all tho profit to tho lease

All of the above figures are taken at the
end of a 20 yoar period, although the guarantees
given by this Company all through
the diflerent years are larger than thosu of
other companies.
It should be remembered that the surplus
results are not taken into consideration in
these comparisons, which, with the fact that
the Mutual Life dividends on distribution
policies are very large, proves conclusively
that there is uo policy like 4this new contract,
TUB MUTUAL LIKE POLICY
PROVIDES KOli
Loans a'. 5 per cent, per annum at any time
after three years.
( ash value after three years.
Automatic paid up insurance.
Extended insurance
Thirty days' grace in tho payment of pro
miums.
The New Yoik Life and Kipiitahle policies
provide for loaus only on the anniversary of
the policy and within thirty days thereafter;
while loans will be granted at any time during
the year on the Mutual Life policy. To
loan on a policy only one month out of twelve
w< uld be something like a bank making
loans to its customers only once a monthjout
of the year, a limitation which would oiler
but little accommodation to the depositor
Neither loan nor cash value is given on the
Aetna policy until after ten years, and at
the expiration of any policy year thereafter;
wiiue me Mutual Life gives bjth at any time
after three years.
In tho New York Lifo ami tho Equitable
cash dividends cannot he applied to purchase
additional insurance thus making the
amount more than the face of the policy,
unless tho insured furnishes a certificate of
good hcilth Tho Mutual Life will mako
the dividend additions without ro examination,
if so elected two years before tho end
of the distribution period.
The severest criticism which rival cornea
nies and agents have made on the new policy
of the Mutual Life is that "it is too liberal,"
which is really the highest indorsement that
any policy has ever received, and one that
will obtain for it the preference over any
other offered by any company. With such a
contract, issued by the Great Mutual Lifo,
with assets of $277,000,000.00, and a surplus
of $44,000,000.00, with an income in lH'.'Hof
over $65 0(10 OdO.00, thore oan bo nothing
surer, rafer or better either as a financi il investment
or as a protection for the family
against the possibilities of future disaster.
