Helpful Words For Those Engaged In Alleviating Human Distress. Assured of a Rich Reward Hereafter. Dr. Talmage, who is still traveling in northern Kutopo, has forwarded tho following report of a sermon in which ho utters helpful words to all w ho are outraged in alleviating human distresses and ahow'H how such work will bo crowned at tho l&rt; text, Acts ix, IW, %4Aud all the widows stood by him weeping and show ing him the oata and garments which Dorcas made w hile sho was with them." Joppa is a most absorbing city of tho orient. Into her harbor once fl -ated the rafts of Lebanon cedar from which tho temples of -lorusaleut wore built, Solomon's oxen drawing the logs through the town. Hero Xapolenu had f>00 prison ors massacred. Ooo of tho most magnificent charities of the centuries was statted in this seaport by Dorcas, a womau with Iter noodle embroidering name inoflaocahly into the heneticeuoe of tho world. L hoc her sitting in yonder home. In tho doorway and around about the building and in the room where she sits arc the pale faces of tho poor, 8l?o listens to their plh\nt, she pities their woe, sho makes garments ft?r them, sho adjusts the manufactured articles to suit the bent form of this invalid woman and to thcotipplo that comes orawling on his hands and knees. She gives a coat to this one, she gives sandals to that one. With tho gifts she mingles prayers and tears and Christian encouragement. Thon sho goos out to bo grcotcd on the street corners by those whom sho has blessed, and all through tho stroct tho cry is heard, "Dorcas is coming!" The sick look up gratefully iuto her fuoo as sho puts her hand on tho burning brow, and the lost and tho abandoned Btart up with hope as they hear hor gontlc voioo, as though an angel had uddrcsscd them, and as she goos out the lano oyes half put out with sin think they seo a halo of light about her brow and a trail of glory iw her pathway. That night a half paid shipwright olimhs tho hill and reaches homo and scan his littlo boy well clad and says, "Where did thoso clothes como from?" And they toll him, "Dorcas has been here." lu anothor place a woman is trimming a lamp. Doroas bought the oil. In anothor placo a family that had not boon at lablo for many wocks aro gathered now, for Dorcas has brought bread. But there is a sudden pauso in that womau's ministry. Thoysay: "Where is DoroaB? Why, we haven't scon her for many a day. Where is Doroas?" And ono of theso pocr pooplo goes up and knocks at tho door and tinds the mystery solved. All through tho haunts of wretchedness the news comes, "Doroas is sickl" No bulletin Hashing from thopalaco gato telling tho stagos of a king's disease is more anxiously waited lor than tho news from this benefactress. Alas, for .loppa there is wailing, wailing! That voioo which has uttered so many chocrful words is hushed; that hand which has made so many garmonts for tho poor is cold and still; tho star whica had poured light into tho midnight of wrotohodnoss is dimmed by the blinding mists that go up from the river of death, lu every i" # K .? ?.?.? ... 1 -- ? thcro is a biok child and no balm, wherever thoro is hunger and no bread, wherever there is guilt and no commiseration, whorovcr thcro is ft broken heart and no comfort, thoro ftro despairing looks and streaming eyes and frantic gesticulations as they cry, "Dorcas is deftd 1" They send for the apostle l'otcr, who happens to bo in the suburbs of tho plaoe, stopping with a tanner of the name of Simon. Voter pugoB his way through the crowd around tho door and stands in tho prcsonoo of tho dead. What demonstration of grief all about him! Here stand some of the poor people, who show tho garments which this poor woman had inado for them. Their griof eaunot bo appeased. Tho apostle Votor wants to perform a miracle. IIo will not do it amid the excited orowd, so he orders that tho whole room bo oloarod. Tho door is shut against tho populaoo. The apostle stands now with the dead. Oh, it is a serious moment, you know, when you are along with a lifeless body! Tho apostle gets down on his kneos and prays, aud then he comos to tho lifo less form of this ono all ready for tho sepuloher, and in Die strength of him who is the rosurreotion ho orios, "Tabitha, arise!" There is a stir in the fountains of lifo; tho heart tlutters; tho nerves thrill; tho ohock Hushes; the eyo opens; she sits up! Wo boo in this subject Dorcas the disoiplo, Dorcas tho benefactress, Dorcas tho lamontod, Dorcas the resur rooted. If 1 had not soon that word disoiplo in my text, 1 would have known this woman was a Christian. 8uoh music as that never came from a heart which is net ohordod and strung by divino 0 ^V?V?V JL Dnvn J\J\Jk iuu 11UVU1U* work of this woman I want to show you her regenerated hoart, the source of a pure life and of all Christian charities. I wish that the wives and mothers and daughters and sisters of all tho earth would imitate Doroas in her disoipleship. Beforo you cross tho threshold of the hospital, bofore you enter upon the temptations and trials of tomorrow, I ohargo you in tho name of God and by tho turmoil and tumult of the judgment day, O women, that you attond to tho first, last and greatest duty of your life-?tho seeking for God and being at poaoo with him. Whon the trunapot shall sound, thoro will be an uproar and a wrcok of mountain and oontinent, add no human arm oan help you. Amid the rising of tho doad and amid the boiling of yondor soa and amid the live, leaping thunders of the flying heavens oalm and plaoid will bo every woman's heart who hath put hor trust in Christ?oalm notwithstanding all the tumult, as though tho fire in the ? ..WW' .T> . v'W>n^ ho$VsP.f wor only the gUtiloc^ of an nutumcM suneot, *3 though tho final of tho trumpet were orly the harmony of an orohcotra, as though tho awful voices of the sky were but a group of friends bursting through agfttowayat evontimo with laughter and shouting, "Doroai tho disciple!" Would (lod that overy Mary and Martha would this day sit down at tho feet of .lesuts! Further, wo soo Dorcas tho benefactress. History has told tho story of tho orown; opio poet has suug of tho sword; tho pastoral poet, with his versos full of the rohlouio tf clover tops and a rusllo with the Bilk (.1 illo oorn, has sung tho praises of tho plow. 1 tell you tho praises of tho nccdlo. From tho fig leaf roho prepared in tho gar don of Klcn tot ho last stitoh taken on the garment for the poor tho nocdlo has wrought wonders of kindness, generosity and benefaction It adorned tho girdle of the high priest, it fashioned tho ouitains in the ancient tabernacle, it cushioned tho chariots of King Solomon it provided the robes of Queen Kli/.v both, and in high places and in low places, by tho liro of tho pioneer's back log and under tho Hash ot the ohando* ier, everywhere, it has clothed nakedness, it has preached tho gospel, it has overcome hosts of penury and want with the warory of "Stitoh, stitch, stitoh 1" The operatives hare found a livelihood by it, and through it tho mansions of the employer are constructed. Amid the grcatcs' triumphs in all Hgos and lauds, I set down tho eonuuosts of tho needle. 1 admit its crimes 1 admit its cruelties. It has had more martyrs than the tire, it ban punctured the eye; it has pierced the side; it has struck weakness into tho lungs; it has sent madness into lite brain; it has mica ino potters ueiii; it has pitched whole armies of tho suffering intooriiuo ami wrotohodnoss and woe. But now that I nm talking of Dorcas and her ministries to the poor, I shall speak or.ly of the charities of the needle. This"VUUMWft n representative of all those who make garments (or the destitute, whoknit socks for tho barefooted, who proparo bandages for the lacerated, who fix up boxes of clothing for missionaries, who go into tho asylums of the suffering and destitute, bearing that gospel which is sight for tho blind and hearing for tho deaf, and which niakos tho lame man leap like a hart and brings the dead to life, immortal health bounding in ilioir pulses. What a contrast botwecn tho practical boncvolcnuo of this woman and a groat des1 j of tho charity of this day I This wo j in?u did not spend her time idly plan ning how tho poor of the city of .Jop I pa wero to ho roliovcd; she took hi i needlo and relieved them. She wa-> not likothoso persons who sympathize with imaginary sorrows, and go out in the street and laugh at tho boy who ha>. upset his basket of oold victuals, 01 like that charity which makes a rous ing speech on tho bonovolcnt platform 1.: At i * Willi guun uui iu kiok uie ncggar irom j. tho step, crying, "Hush your inisciabl howliugl" Sufferers of tho world wuui not bo much theory as practice; noi ho much smiles as shoes, ho much tears as dollais; uot bo much kiml wishes as leaven of broad, not bo much "God blcHH you!" as jacikots and i'rookB. I will put ono earnest Christian man, hard working, against livo thousand mere theorists on tho subject of oharit\ Thcro aro u great many who havo .inc ideas about church arohitooturo who never in their lii'o holped to build a ohuroh. Thcro are men who can give you tho hiBtory of Buddhism and Mo hauiuiodanism who novcr sent a farthing for evangelization. Thcro aro womon who talk beautifully ubout tho sulfcring of tho world, who ncvor had the courage, liko Dorcas, to take tho needle and assault it. 1 am glad that there iH not a page of tho world's history which is not a record of female ,benovolouoo. God says 10 an lands ami people, (Jouio now und hear ttie widow's mito rattle down into tlio poor box. The Princess of Conti Bold all licr jewels that sho might help the fainino slriokcn. C^toon Mlancho, tho wifo of Louis \ 111 of Franco, hearing that there woro Home pernonH unjustly incarcerated in tho prisons, went out amid tho lahblo and took a slick and struck the door as a signal that they might all strike it, and down went tho prison door, and out oamo tho prisoners. Queen Maud, tho wife of Henry 1, went down amid tho poor and washed their sores and admiuistcred to them cordials. Mrs. itctson, at Matagorda, appeared on tho battlefield while the missiles of death woro Hying around and cared for tho wounded. Is thero a man or woman who has ev? r hoard of tho civil war in America who has not heard of tho woman of tho sanitary and Christian commissions or the fact that before tho smoke had gone up from (jcttyHburg and South Mountain tho women of tho north met tho women of tho south on tho battlefield, forgetting all their animositios while they hound up tho wounded and closed tho eyes of the slain? Dorcas, tho benefactress. 1 come now to speak of Dorcas, the lamented. Whon doath struck down that good woman, oh, how much sorrow there was in tho town of Joppa! I suppose thero were womon thovc with larger fortunes, women, perhaps, with handsomer facos, but thero was no grief at their doparturo lilfcothis at tho doath of Dorcas. Thero was not uioro turmoil and upturning in tho Mediterranean sea, dashing against tho wharfs at that seaport, than thoro were surgings to and fro of grief because Dorcas was doad. Thero aro a groat many who go out of life and arc unmissod. There may bo a very largo funeral, there mav be a groat many carriages and a plumed hearse, thoro may bo high sounding oulogiums, tho bell may toll at the cemetery, thcro may bo a vory fine marblo shaft reared over the rosting place, but tho whole thing may boa falsehood and a sham. Tho church of God has lost nothing tho world has lost nothing, tho world has lost nothing. It is only a nuisanoo abated. It is only a grumbler oca&intr to find fault. It is only an idler stopped yawning. It is only a dissipated fashionable partod from his wino cellar, whilo on the othor hand no usoful Christian leaves this world without being missed. Tho ohurch of God orios out like tho prophet, "Howl, fir tree, for tho oodar has fallen!" Widowhood oomes and shows tho garments whioh tho doparted had mado. Orphans arc liftod up to look into tho oalm faoc of the skej ing benefaotross. Roolaimod vagrancy i oonioB and kissoB the oold brow of her who oharmed it away from Mn, and all / through the street df Joppa thcto is hiourning?mourning booauso l.)oroas is dead. When Josephine of Kraneo was carried out to hor grave, there Wcro a great many men and womon of pomp and prido and position that wont out after her, but I am mostatfootod by the story of history that on that day thoro wcro ten thousand of tho poor of Franco who followed hor ooftin, weeping and wailing until tho air rang again, booauso when thoy lost Josophino they lost their last earthly friond. Oh, who would not rather havo suoh obsequies than all tho tears that were over poured in tho laohryuials that havo boon exhumed from an j oicnt cities? Thero may bo no mass for tho dead; thoro may bo no oostly sarcophagus; thoro may bo no elaborate mausoleum, but in tho damp collars of the city and through the lonely huts of tho mountainglon thero will be mourning, mourning, mourning, booause Dor:.l lit itl a * uas it) ueau. messed aro ttio doatf wbo dio in the IiOrd, they reBt from their labora, arel their work* do follow thorn." I apeak to you of Dorcas tho resurrooted. The apostle came to whoro hIic was and said, "AriBo, and bIio sat up!" In what a short oompasn tho great writer put that "Shosat up!" Oh, what a tune there must have been around that town whcti tho apOHtle brought her out among her old friends' llow tho tear? of joy must havo startod' What a clapping of haudH there must have boon! What Hinging! What laughter' Sound it all through that lancl Lot all Joppa hear it! Dorcas is resurroetcd! You and 1 have Been tho narno thing many a time, not a dead hotly resuscitated, but the dcocaaed coming up again after dea'h in tho good accomplished. If a man labors up to f>0 years of ago, serving Cod, and thon dies wo aro apt to think that hin earthly work is dono. No. Ilis influonco on earth will continue till the world oeascs ScrviccB for Christ novor stop. A Christian woman toils for the upbuilding of a churoh through many anxictioH, through many self donials, with prayers and tears, and thou she dies. It is lit years since hho wont away. Now the spirit of Cod doFeonds upon that churoh, hundreds of souls stand up and confoss tho faith of Christ, lias that Christian woman, who wont away 1years ago, nothing to do with thoHo things? I sootho tlowcring out of her noblo hoart. I hear tho ooho of her footstops in all tho songs ovor Bins forgiven, in all tho prosperity of tho ohuroh. Tho good that seemed to bo buried has eorno up again. Doroas is rosurrootod! After awhilo all thoso womanly r.ends of Christ will put down thoir noodle forevor. Aftor making garments for others, soino one will mako a garment for them; tho last robo wo over wear?tho robo for tho grave. You will havo hoard tho last ory of pain. You will havo witnessed tho last orphanago. You will havo ooiuo in worn out from your last ronnd of meroy. I do not know whoro you will sloop, nor what your opitaph will bo, but thoro will bo a lamp burning at that toiub, and an angol of God guarding it, and through all tho long uight no rudo foot will disturb tho dust. Sloop on, sloep on! Soft bod, ploasant shadows, undisturbed repose! Sleep on' Asleep in Jesus! Mossed sloop From which none ovor make to weep! Then one day thero will bo a sky ronding and a whir of wheels and the tiash of a pageant, armies marching, chains clanking, bannors waving, thuudors booming, and that Christian woman will rise from tho dust, and sho will bo suddonly surrounded?surroundod yb tho wanderors of tho street whom sho reclaimed, surroundod by tho wounded souls to whom sho had administorod. Daughter of God, bo strangely surroundod, what moans this? It means that roward has oomo, that tho victory is won, that tho orown is ready, that tho banquet is sproad. Shout it through all the crumbling oarth. Sing it through all tho Hying heavens Dorcas is rosurrcoted!

Then tho qucon of Kogland aroso boforo thom iu tho name of her government and uttorod words of oommoudation to tho oftioors and men and distributed thoso medals, inscribed with tho four great battlcfiolds?Alma, lialaklva, Inkormann aud Sevastopol.

The aetiou of Count Von Huolow, the Gemma minister of foreign utfaira, informing the Chinese logaiiou at Herliu that all telegraphic messages must be in plain language and submitted for approval by tho oonsor, and the suggestion of M. Doloasse, tho Kronoh minister of foreign affairs, that tho exportation of arms to China be prohibited, which are gen erally regarded as the first steps in the direction of treating China as a state engaged in war, have been supplemented by tho oifioial an nounoemont from St. Petersburg that oertain portions of tho Amur territory, including parts of tho Khabarovsk district ami tho coast territory, as well as tho towns of Itlagovcstohcnsk, Khaharobovsk and Nikolksussuri, havo he< n deolared iu a state of war sinco July IT. Kussian action in regarded in Condon as at leant the foreshadowing of a speedy unconditional recognition of tho fact that a condition af war exists bctwocn China and the eivilizod world, and the goncral opinion scorns to be in favor of such recognition as tho best moans of meeting the barbarian upheaval, while at tho same time endeavoring to isolate the independent viceroys from the goncral conflagration.
