'"MakTn^TJpT7"
Was it ail a mistake? Ah, fold your arms
olosor,
And press my head nearer your breast;
For my train has grown weary with thinking
and weeping,
And my tad heart is long'ng for reit.
Was it all a mistake when within yout dear
hand
You olnspet mine with <|uickcning breath,
And vowed before God that, forsaking all
others,
You would love me and keep me till death?
Was it all a mistake? Is there anyone
dearer,
For whom your man's heart orics aloud?
Is there any sweet *hope lying dea l in your
bosom,
That your marriage vow hides like a
shroud?
Was it all a mistake when 1 thought 1 could
cheer you,
And brighten your pathway through life?
Do you dream of a faco that is fairer than
my fact?
Of a name that is dearer than wife?
Was it all a mistake? Arc you longing for
freedom?
Ah, 1 pray that release may he near,
That Death e arm may take me and bear me
to heaven,
To await?whit was that? Not a tear!
Ah, my own, you are weeping! You're sorry
y ou said it;
'Twas auger that made those words fall.
Then take me yourself, dear, and don't lot
death hnvo me,
For 1 don't want to die after all.
TALMAQEJ SERMON.
Shows How the Evening of Life May
be Brightened,
Whilo this discourso of Dr. Talmago
robukos arroganco it onoourogoa humanity
and hIiowb how tho ovoning of
lifo may bo brightonod. Tho toxt is I
Kings xx, 11, "Lit not him that girdoth
on his harnosi b"&t himsolt as ho
that puttoth it off."
Harness is tho obBoloto word for armor.
It means harncrs for tho man,
not harness for tho beast; harness for
battlo, not harness for tho plow. Tho
anoiont armor oonsistod of helmet for
the hoad, broastplato and shield for
tho hoart, groaves for tho foot. Tho
text makos a comparison botwoon r
man enlisting fc: soiuo war and a votoran
roturniDg, tho one putting on the
aimor and tho other putting it off.
llenhadad, tho hing of Syria, thought
ho oould easily overcome the king of
Israel. Indeed, tho Syrian was so puto
of the victory that ho spread an ante
bollum banquot. With thirty-two kings
ho was eolcbrating what tlioy were go
ing to do. Thcro wcro in aH thirtythree
kings at thooarousal, and their
condition is described in tho Bible, not
as oonvivtl cr stimulated exaltation,
but drunk. Thoit g'ldcd and bannered
pavilions woro surroundod by high
mottled homos, neighing and olamping
and hitohod to ohaiiots such as kings
rodo in. Bonhadad sends oflfiocrs over
to tho king of Israol demanding the
surrender of the oity, saying, "Thou
bait dolivormo thy silvor and thy gold
and thy wives and thy ohildron," and
aftorward sonds other efhaom, saying
that the palace of the kiDg will bo
searched and everything Bonhadad
wants he will take without asking.
Then tho king of Israel caliod a oounc 1
of war, and word is sent back to Bcohadod
that his unroasonable demand
will bo resisted. Thon Bonhadad souds
anothcr'messago to thokiig of Israel,
a mossago full ol arroganoo and bravado,
practically saying: "Wo will do
stroy you utterly. 1 will grind Sauiaria
into tho dust, but thoro will uot bo dust
enough to make a handful for oaoh one
of my troops " Then tho king of lsraol
ropliod to Bonhadad, praoiioally say
ing: "Lot mo boo you do what you
Bay. You royal braggart, you might
better havo postponed your bat, q lot until
after the battlo instead of spreading
it beforo tbo battlo. You huzza too
goon. 'Lot not bim that girdoth on his
harncBB boast himsolf as ho that putteth
it off."
An avalanohe of oourago and right
eousnoss, tho Israolitish army oamo
down on Bonhadad and his host. It
was a hand to hand light, osoh Israelite
hewing down a Syrian. Bjnhadcd,
on horscbaok, gets away with somo of
the oavalry, but is only saved for a
worse defeat, in whioh 100,000 Syrian
infantry wore slaughtered in ono day.
Now we sco tho saroasm and tho opigrammatio
power of tho moBsage of
my text sent by tbo king of Israel to
Bonhadad, "Let not him that girdoth
on his harness boast himself as ho that
puttcth it off."
All up and down history wo sec suoh
too early boasting. Soult, tho marshal
of Franco, was so oertain that he
would conquer that ho had a proclamation
printed announoing himself king
of Portugal and had a grand feast pro
pared for 4 o'olock that afternoon, but
beforo that hour he Hod in ignominious
defeat, and Wellington of tho conquering
host sat down at 4 o'olook at tho
VflTV h*nnnflt nf Wr*nnn
bad ordorod for himself. Charles V.
invaded Franco and was so euro of
eonquest that ho rcquoatod JL'aul Jovius,
the historian, to gather togcthor
a large amount of paper on whioh to
write tho story of his many viotorios,
but diseaso and famino seized upon
his troopers, and ho letrcated in dismay.
Bo Bonhadad's behavior has
been oopied in all ages of the world.
It will bo my objoot, among other lessons,
to show that ho who puts off the
armor, having finished tho battle, is
more to be oongratulatcd than ho who
begins.
First, I find enooursgemont in this
aubjoot for the aged who have got
through the work and struggle of earth
ly life. My venerable friends, if you
had at twenty-fivo years of age full ap
preoiation of what you would have to
go through in the thirties and tho for
ties and the fifties of your life time you
would have been appailod. Fortunately
the bereavomonts, the temptations,
the perseoutions, the hardships, were
curtained from your eight. With more
or less fortitude ycu passed through
the orieis of pain and sadness and disappointment
and fatiguo and still livo to
reoount the divino help that austainod
you. At twenty or thirty yoars of your
age at the tap of tho drum you put on
the harness. Now, at sixty or sevonty
or eighty, you aro peaoofully putting it
off. You would not want to try tho
battle of live over again. Bo many of
just your temperament and with as
A good ? starting and as fine a parenitsge
nr.fc want again to run tbo rickj.
Though vou oan look back and coo
many mistake*, tbo next time you
might mako worse in'fttakf ?. Ins'eai
of Doing doom*scd ov-t tbo fait that

right to hang up your bclmot and
shcatho your sword and froo your bands
from tbo gauotlots aod your foot ftotn
tbo boots of mail.
There aro o'd farmers who cannot do
ono more day's work. What harvests
they raised in 1870! They kD^w tho
rotation of crops as well as th^y know
tbo rotation of tbo seasons. Under
what blistoring suns thry swung tho
EOytho and tho cradle! Thre ugh what

Whet droughts, what frcshots, what inseotilo

There aro o'd it cohanioi that can no

Then there aro aged physicians. What
tragedies of pain and accident thoy
havo witnosscd! llow much sufl ring
they havo assuaged! How roan., fovcrs
they cooled! How many brokon bones
they set! How many parozyams thoy

And tiiero aro tho old min'stora.

Thoy hove stood by Christian

your physioal or montal condition that

Do Dot boast of your moral strength.
Oao of tho most brilliant men of tho
ninotoccth oontury, having temporarily
reformed from inobrisoy, stood on tho
platform of Broadway t&bcrnacV, New
York, and said, "VVero this groat globe

My Rubj -ot in also a rofu'ationof the
famous sentiment that Gcd is on tho
sido of the heaviest artillory. From r 11
I can read about thh struggle Bouhadad
aroko tho truth when bo said, "Tho
gods do po unto ae and moro alao if tho
aust of SatDi.ria shall pufhoe for handful
for all tho people tha' follow :11c."
Ho was bo oor H lent that with hia iu
pcrior numbers he oould dofcat tho
king of lpraol and oaptu.ro Sato*ria that
ho loft tho work for a short cficmoon.
Ho is at uoon in Wassail with his
royal assooiatos. The battlo of Waterloo
was not opened until twonty live
minutos of 12 o olootc at uoon, but that
was beoauso tho ground was too wot to
rnov j the artillory. Bouhadad waits
until afternoon booaueo ho is ovorooufidont.
God is not on tho sido of tho
most swoidi or tho most war chariots
or tho most cannon if thoy bo in tho
tho wrong, but on tho sido of tho light.
How cuoh a prcpOBtorou* sentiment
as 1 havo mentioned should, havo gained
sway 1 know not whon all history proclaims
tho oppos'to. Describing tho
very next battlo in wbiob Honhadad
fought and was miserably defeated, the
Hibio says, 'Tho ohildrcn of Israol
pitohsd before them like two little Hooks
of kids, but tho Syrians tolled the country."
How insignificant woro tho un
