RtV. Dr. TalmageUrgas a Life of

PRACTICAL LESSONS DRAWN
From the Captivity of Job, Who
Prayed for His F<iend*.
The Efficacy of
Prayer
In this discourse Dr. Talmago wars
on narrowness of view and ur^es a lift'
helpful to othors; text, Job xlii, 10,
*'And tho Lord turned tbc oaptivity of
Job when ho prayed for his friends."
Comparatively few pooplo road this
last chapter or Iho book of .Job. The
earlier chapters aro so full of thrilling
incident, of events so dramatically portrayed,
of awful ailments and terrifio
disastor, of domostio infelioity, of 8t&c
oatopaaseago, of rosounding addross, of
omnipotcnoy proclaimed, ot ut cranooa
unowing Job to havo been tho groatost
scientist of his day an expert in mining
and prooious stonos, astronomer and go
ographer annd zoologist and elootrician
and poet, that most readers stop before
thoy get to my text, wh<oh, strangely
and mysteriously, announoes that "tho
Lord turned tho captivity of Job whon
he prayed for his frionds."
Now. will you plcaso explain to mi
how Job's prayer for his friends halted
his oatastrophes? Givo mo somo good
reason why Job. on his knees in bohalf
of tho welfaro of others, arrostod the
long proocf-sions of oalamit'os. Mind
you, it was not prayor for himself, for
thon tho cessation of his troubles would
havo boon only anothor instance of
prayot answered. It it tho portfolio of
his disastor was rolled up whilo ho sup
plioatod God in bohalf or Kliphaz tho
Tomanite Itildad tho Shuhito tho Tom*

#V? r* Maatn I -----
uv ? ituuu, i mult vuuiu^n iu you
that 1 had to road tho text over and
ovor again boforo I got its full meaning
? "And tho Lord turned tho captivity
of Job whon ho prayed for his frionds."
Well, if you will not explain it to nio
1 will explain it to you. Tho hoalihi
eat, tho most rooupcrativo thing on
earth to do is to stop thinking so much
about oursclvoH and go to thinking
about tho wclfaro of others. Job had
boon studying his misfortunes, but tho
moro ho thought about his bankruptcy
the poorer ho seemed, tho moro ho
thought of his oarbunolcs" tho worse
they hurt, tho moro ho thought of his
unfortunato marriago tho moro intol
erablo bcoamo tho oonjugal rotation,
the moro ho thought of his houso blown
down tho more torrifio soemod tho oyelono.
Ilia misfortunos grow blaokor
and blacker. Hat there was to oomn a
revoreal of those Had conditions. Ono
day ho said to himsolf: "1 have boon
dwolling too muoh upon my bodily ailmonts
and my wifcB temper, and my bo
reavemcnts. It istimo I began to think
about others and do uouiothing for
others, and I will start now by praying
for my tbroo friends." Then Job drop
ped upon his knees, and as ho did so j
the last ebaoklo of his captivity of trou
bles snapped and fell off. Hear it, all
yo agos of timo and all ye agos of ctcr
nity, "the Lord turnod tho oaptivity of
Job whon he prayed for his friends!"
The fault with most of us is too muoh
self concentration?our hoalth, our for
tunos, our advancement, our social position,
our aohicvemonts, our lossos, our
defoats, our sufferings, our persooution,
our life, our death, our immortality
Of oourso thoro is a lawful and right
eous selfishness. In a world and in a
timo of auoh activities and rivalries and
temptations wo mu>t look after our own
iniorests and our own desliuy or wo will
go under. loo not wait for othors to
tako oaro of you. Tako oaro of your
self. But it will not hinder our prescr
vation and prosperity if wo cnlargo the
aphero of our wishes and prayers ho as
to tako in othors, Tho law in the natural
world would do woll for tho moral and
spiritual world. The oontripotal force
in Daturo would throw ovorything in
toward tho oenter and tho oenuifuga
foroe in naturo would throw ovcryihiux
out from the center. But the centripeia
and tho centrifugal work beautifully together.
The ono foroi that woulo
throw everything toward tho center is
balanced by tho foroo that would throw
everything outward.
Our world, with its own intorosts,
feels the pull of other worlds. No world
no nation, no community, no man, no
woman, can hllord to oxisl only for its
elf or himself or herself. Tho houriu
which Job has that soliloquy about the
enlargement of his prayers so as to take
in his friends and ho put into execution
his good resolution, was tho hour when
he felt a tonic, a sedative, a nervino,
A A? t rvl m c m ? " ? ? ? - I--? '

and revived hit* fortunos till thoy were
a hundred pcroent hotter than over before,
for the rocord is "the Lord gave
Job twioo aa muoh aa ho had boforo,"
and tended to mako him a wonder o!
longevity, for ho livod 140 yearn after
his troubles wero gono. On, what a
mighty modioamont ia tho contemplation
of and tho effort for the wolfaro of
othera!
"But," says some ono, "it is cany
enough for Job to pray for his friends.
Anybody oan do that, Thoro are thoac
to whom wo are obliged for years of
kindness. They stand so oloso to us in
sympathy and rominiboonoo and anticipation
that it is ea-<y for u* to pray for
their welfare." Well, 1 boo you do noi
understand that thcBO frionds of Job
wsre the most tantalising and oxaspcrat
idg friends a man ever had. Look at
tleir behavior. When thoy heard of
his bereavements and tho aooidents by
whirlwind and lighting stroko, they
oame in and sat down by him a whole
week, seven days and seyon nights, and
t rsoord is "none spake a word to
him." What a disreputable and wicked
silenoel Mind you, they profossed to
be religions men and thoy onght to havo
b*en able to offer some religious consolation,
^instead of that thoy were dumb
as the sphinx whioh at that time stood
in the African dosert and stands there
till. Why did they not say something
about reunion in the heavenly roalm*
with his ohildron who had been slain?
Why did they not talk to him about the
satisfactory explanations in the futuro
world of things we do not understand
ia this world? Why did they not go to
ttaanotheeary and buy a poultioe that
wnUd ha?s soothed the ssrbunoles, or
A d
sotno quieting potion that would oalta
his norvos, or a few drops of febrifuge
hat would oool his heated frame? No!
For sovon days and sovon nights tlicy
did nothing and said nulling for his re
lief They must have almost b'?rcl him
to doath.
Aftor theBO three friends had ooni
ploted thoir infamous silonoo of a w??>k
thoy began to looturo Job. First Ki
ph*t tho Tomanito opens with a long
story about a droaui whioh ho had in
tho night and irritates tho sutTororwith
words that mako things worso instoad
of hotter and sots him in and ait tuo of
dofenso rga'nst the 'oiturer. Then
comes Bildad tho Shuhito, who givos
tho invalid a round sooding aud
calls him garrulous aud practically tolls
him that ho deserved all that ho got
and that if ho had bohavod himself
aright ho would not havo lost his houso
or his ohil Iron or his cstato. llo

wonder that thero oamo from .Job an
outburst of indignation whioh oalls out
tho olhrr quondam friend. Zophar tlio
Naamathito, who beginH <l*nouuoing
Job by oalling him a liar and kcops on

"N > doubt but yo aro thi p >oplo, and

Oh, what frionds .Job hadl Iloavon
deliver us from hav?ng ono such friend,
to h ty nothing of having threo of thcui.
It was for huoIi friends that .Job prayed,
and was it not a religious triumph for
him so to do? Would you, tho vcrv
host of you, bo in very devout mood
and capable of making intercession for
pooplo who had oomo to you in a day
of trouble and said: "0 jod for you.
You ought to be ohastisid. You aro
boing takonin hand by eternal justice.
If you ha I behaved yourself aright,
you wou'd not have been siok or impoverished
or mado ohildloss." Oh,
no, my friend, you would not have felt
like .Job when he prayed for his friends.

Nothing is so unhealthy as to get

weigh over 200 pounds avoirdupois had
better never loso your touipor, for at
such times apoplexy is not far oil. (let

What wo all need is to got out of our
solves and go to helping others, whether
friends or foes. As boau iful nn in

last summer in London in the person of
Florence Niuhtingalo, tho h roino of
hospitals and of battlefields when there
wore no hospitals. Tho loungo on

so Uiuoh of heaven is to bo found in no

"But," some ono savs. 1 *L do not bo

Dcotuso I do no think thtt Qod is go
lug to oha ivo tho laws of naturo bo

do I thi ik that God will ohangotho law
of naturo at our request, but 1 am suro
that ho answers prayor through natural
law. i>oi a pnjstoianof any skill, aliopaihio
or homeopathic or hydropathic
or oelcotio, but has booio tiino boon sur
prisoi that what was thought to bo a
fatal disease suddenly rolaxos its grasp
of tho pationt, and ho rooovors. Not
one law of nature has boon fraoturod.
Prayer may have given tho sudden turn
to that i'lnosp. A business man may
bo in difficulty incxtrioablo?mortgagos

sold for somo reason become unsalable,
new invention in machinery making tho

men havo at least, onco in their lives,

tho harried morohant or manufacturer

No law of naturo is broken and no law

does not tie his own hands with it. If

Prayer is what somo ono lias called

tho healthful respiration of the soul.
It is the whispor of holplossnoss iuto

Prayer! In nn tustant it

Somo ono asked a soldier of Stonowall
.Jackson tho seorct of tho groat
gonoral's iufluonoo over his 111011
"D ies your goneral abusn you, swear
at you, to make you uia oh? ' "Swear,"
replied -tho soldier. 4 No!' Ewcll
does tho swearing; Stonowall doos tho
praying Whon Stonewall wants us
to inaroh, ho looks at us soberly, j ust
as if ho woro sorry for us, and says,
'Men, wo have got to inako a long
march.' Wo always kuow when there
is going to ho a long march and right
smart tightii g for S ooewall is po*er

When Stonowall .Jackson was asked
iho meaning of tho passago, "in constant
prayer," aud ho said: "If vou

up myself as aa oxuuplo, which I
am not, I will givo an illustration from
my own habit. I havo so tixod tho

BOinotuiK'B forgot? said a friend. Ho
repiiod: "1 think 1 oan say that 1
oan say that I soaroely do. Tho habit
has hcoomo almost as fixed as breath
iog." "But," says somo ono from a
ditiennt section of tho country from
that in whioh Gonoral Jackson lived,
wore his prayers answered?" Yes, as
earnrst prayors aro always answered,
in God's way, and God's is always the
host way, whilo our way may bo tho
wrong way.
In all tho tossing of this lifo lay hold
of the ropo of prtyer mentioned by
John Newton, who was converted on
hi ipbt ard fiom boing a blasphemous
Manor 10 ucoorno a great pre&olK'r ot
lighteousnoBS and who said: 'Whoi
I first arnusod mysolf with going to
sea, when tho winds rose and the
wavos became rough, I tumbled and
tossed about liko a porpoise iu tho
water. At last 1 caught hold of a rope
that was floating about, and ilu n L was
enabled to stand upright. 80 when a
multitude of troublous thoughts invade
your poaoo, or when tho winds and
waves of temptation ariso, look out
for tho ropo, lay hold of tho rope and
stay yoursolves on tho faithfulness of
God by kocpiog his promises.
My hearer, I will tell you tho time
whon you oan afford to oeaso praying.
It will bo whon you havo no bios to bo
bo pardoned, no sorrows to bo oomfort
cd, no moro friends or foes who need
your intoroossions. Quoon Elizabeth
said to Waltor llaloigh, "lloloigb, wheu
will you stop begging?" Ualcigh, ro
plied, "When your majesty leaves off
giving." And your time, my hoaror,
to stop prayor will be whon God has
no moro pardon and meroy and strougth
to bostow and tho roooursos of tho Infinite
aro exhausted. Havolook know
tho valuo of prayer whon ho aroso at 4
o'clock in tho morning for his devotions.
TI10 soldiers of tho Fourtoonth Massa
ohusotts rocimont shnwnd
know tho joy of worship whon thoy
look a dologato of tho Cnristian oom
miBs on to boo what they called their
'praying plaoo."
Now, if God has during thoso ro
marks shown us tho usos, tho importance,
tho bloBBcdncBB of prayor, supposo
wo try to do what Job did whon
ho prayed for his oxasporatorB. Many
of us at tho boginning of this nubjeot
folt that whilo we oould pray for oursovlos
and pray for thoso who woro
kind to us, wo novor oould roaoh tho
high point of religious exporionoe in
whioh wo oould pray for thoso who annoy
us and make us feel worse instead
of feoliDg bottor. That was a Matterhorn,
that was an Alp, to the top of
whioh wo feared to olimb, but wo
thank God that by his omnipotont
graoo wo have reaohed that hoight at
laat. Let us prayt O Christ, who
didst pray for thine assassians, we now
pray for thoso who despitefully use
us and say all manner of evil against
as. For thoir eternal salvation we
supplioate. When time is no more,
w ^ I'j iinula*i
may thoy reign on thrones and wear
coronets and sway Betters of htavonly
dominion. Meanwhile take t^e bitterness
froiu their soul and toako them
Boon think as well of m as thoy now
think evil. Spare thoir bodies from
pain aud.their households from bcroavoment.
After all tho misunderstandingH
and controversies* of this lifo are
over, may we, keep with them otornal
j 1 biloo in tho mansions on the hill.
Aud as ?hon didst turn tho oapitivity
of Job when ho had prayed for those
who had badly used him and health
came to his body and prosperity to his
ostato, now that wo luvo by thy graoo
been ablo to make supplication for our
antagonists, euro our discants if wo aro
ill, and restore our estato if it has bcon
scattered, and awaken gladnoss in our
homesteads if thoy havo boon bereft,
aud turn tho captivity of our physical
pain or tioancial misfortune or montal
distress. And thiuo shall bo tho king
doui and tho power and tho glory forever
aud ever Amen.
WHAT BRYAN WILL DO
The Question by the Gentleman

In tho answer whioh ho ban just sent
to tho publishers of tho Donvor Post
declining thoir odor to ao editorial
position at $10,001) a year it is believed
that Wiliatn Jennings Bryan has indi
oatod his intention to oontinuo making

nomination four years honoo.
That appears to bo tho only interpretation
to bo put on his tolcgram to tho

Bryan is not disturbed or oonoorncd
as to his ability to mako a livelihood
for himself and his family, llis depth
as a political and economic thinker and
tho ability of his pen assures him that
his personal finances cannot suffer.
Bryan has mado a snug fortuno from
his writings and lcoturos in tho past
few years. Somo of this ho has kept
for himself, but a great portion of tho
money has boon donated to oausos in
which ho has taken an interest.
Today Mr. Bryan could rctiro to
privo lifo and livo in oomfort on tho
inoirno of what ho has missed. Tho
profits from the book he published after
campaign of 1 HUB wcro sufficient to on
ablo him to invest a sum in bonds whioh
will bring to him an annual inoomo of
$2 000.
Bryan is a man of simplo tastos, and
Ibis sum would bo sufficient to oduoato
his children and sustain his family in
comfort
A year ago last wock Bryan mado a
