6 THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., DECEMBER 17, 1896, ? A QUEEN IN DISGUISE. REV. DR. TALMAGE TEARS OFF THE MASK OF DECEIT. DMtgrni of Iiiii>o*ltlon —Quet-iiH of Chris tian Service The I'norrlri'j Care of Ood. Wanned by the Fire of a Connumlns World. I Washikoto:!, Deo. 13.—In this ser mon from n Biblo scene never used in ■ermonio discourse Dr. Talmnga drnws ■ome startling lessons and tears off the mask of deceit. The test is I Kings xiv, fl, “Why feignest thou thyeolf to be an other?'’ In the palace of wicked Jeroboam there is a sick child, a very sick child. Medicines have failed; skill is exhaust ed. Yonng Abijah, the prince, has lived ^Jon^T enough to become very popular, and yet bo nmst die unless some super natural aid be afforded. Death oomes np the broad stairs of the palace and ■wings back the door of the sickroom of royalty and stands looking at tho dying prince with tho dart uplifted. Wicked Jeroboam knows that ho has no right to ask anything of tho Lord in the way of kindness. Ho knows that his prayers would not bo answered, and so ho scudi his wife on the delicate aud tender mis sion to the prophet of tho Lord in Shi loh. Putting aside her royal attire, she puts on the garb of a peasant woman and starts on tho road. Instead of car rying gold and gems, as she might havo carried from tho palace, she carries only those gifts which seem to indicate that she belongs to tho peasantry—a few loaves of bread and a few cracknels and a cruso of honey. Yonder she goes, hood ed and veiled, tho greatest lady in all tho kingdom, yet passing unobserved. No ouo that meets her on the highway has any idea that she is the first lady in all tho land. Sbo is a queen in disguise. The fact is that Peter tho Great work ing in tho drydocks of Saardnm, tho sail or’s hat and tho shipwright’s ax gave him no more thorough diRguisc than tho gafb of tho peasant woman gave to tne queen of Tirznh. But tho prophet of tho Lord saw tho deceit. Although his phys ical eyesight had failed, ho was divine ly illumined, and at one glance looked through tho imposition and ho cried out: “Comoin, then wifoof Jeroboam! Why ’ feignest thou thyself to ho another? I have evil tidings for thee. Get thee back to thy house, and when thy feet touch the gate cf tho city the child shall die.” .She had a right to ask for the recovery of her son. Sho had no right to practice nn imposition. Broken hearted now, she started on the way, the tears falling on the dust of tho road all the way from Shiloh to Tirzah. Broken hearted now, she is not careful any more to hide her queenly gait and nmnucT. True <o tho prophecy, tho mo ment her feet touch tho gate of the city tho dies. As sho goes in tho soul of tho child goes out. Tho cry lu the palace is joined by tho lamentation of a nation, and as they carry good Abijah to hia gravo tho air is filled with tho voice cf calogy for tho departed youth aud the groan cf an nfilictcd kingdom. Deceit ami Duplicity. It is for no insignificant pnrposo that I present you the thrilling story of tho text. In tho first place I learn that wick edness involves others, trying to make them its dupe«, its allies and its scape goats. Jeroboam proposed to hoodwink the Lord’s prophet. How did ho do it? Did ho go and dotho work himself? No. He cent his wife todo it. Hers tho peril of exposure, hcrathe fatigue of the way, hers tho execution of tho plot; his, nothing. Iniquity is n brag, but it is a great coward. It lays tho plan and gets someone oIro to exccnte it; puts down tho gunpowder train and gets some onn else to touch it off; contrives mischief and gets some one else to work it; starts a lio and getsromo one else to circulate it. In nearly all tho great crimes of tho world it is found out that theso who planned tho arson, tho murder, tho theft, tho fraud go free, v/hilc these who were decoyed and cheated and hood winked into tho conspiracy olank tho chain aud mount tho gallows. Aaron Burr, with heart Ailed with impurity and ambition, plots for tho overthrow of tho United States govern ment aud gets off with a few threats undo littlocensure, while Blcnncrbas- sett, tho learned Blenucrhassett, tho ■wcet tempered Bleunerhr.ssett, is de coyed by him from tho orchards, and tho laboratories, and the gardens, and tho homo on tho baukef tho Ohio river, and his fortunes ::ro scattered, and ho is thrown into prison, and his family, brought up in luxury, is turned out to dio. Abominable Aaron Burr lias it •comparatively easy. Kwoet tempered Elennerhiissrtt baa it hard. Benedict Arnold proposed to sell out the forts of tho United States, to surrender tho Rev olutionary army end to destroy tho United titati.i government. Ho gets off with his pocket.i full of pounds sterling, while Major Andre, the hrnvo and tho brilliant, is decoyed into tho conspiracy and sufiert on tho gibb< t on tho hanks of tho Hudson, r » that even tho litera- tnro, tho marble tablature, that com memorated that event has been blasted by midnight desperadoes. Benedict Ar nold ha i it easy. Major Andre has it hard. I have noticed that nine-tenths of those who suffer for crimes are merely tho satellites of some great villains. Ig nominious fraud is a juggler which, by sleight of hand and legerdemain, makes the gold that it stolo appear in some body else's pocket. Jeroboam plots the lie, contrives tho imposition aud geta bis wife to execute it. btand off from all imposition and chicanery. Do not consent to bo anybody’s dupe, anybody’s ally iu Wicked liens, anybody's acupc- goat llchluil a Monk. Tbo idury of tho text also impresses in« with the fuel that royalty sometimes pusses in disguise. Tho frock, tho veil, the hood of the pc-iHniit woman hid the tpi'enly ohuruetir < f this woman of Tir- xuh. Nobody suspected that she was a qn.on nr n princess us she pas.-**) by, but ubo tint jkiet iu unu h u queen as though she stood in the palace, her robes inernsted with diamonds. And so all around about us there are princesses and queens whom tho world does not recognize. They sit. on no throne of roy alty, they ride in no chariot, they elicit no hnzza, they make no pretense, but by tho grace of God they are princesses and they are queens. Sometimes in their poverty, sometimes in their self denial, sometimes in their hard struggles of Christian service, God knows they arc querns. The world does not recognize them. Royalty passing in disguise 1 Kings without the crown, conquerors wirhont tho palm, empresses without tho jewel! You saw her yesterday on the street. Yon saw nothing important in her appearance, bnt she is regnant over a vast realm of virtue and goodness —a realm vaster than Jeroboam over looked nt. You went down into the house of destitution and want and suf fering. You saw tho story of trial writ ten on tho wasted hand of the mother, on the pale cheeks of tho children, on tho empty broad tray, on the fireless hearth, on tho broken chair. Yon would not have given a dollar for all tho fur niture in the house. But by the grace of God sho is a princess. The overseers of tho poor come there and discuss tho case and say, “It’s a panpor. ” They do not realize that God has burnished for her a crcwn, and that after she has got through tho fatiguing journey from Tir- zah to Shiloh, and from Shiloh back to Tirzah, there will be a throne of royalty on wl tch she shall rest forever. Glory veiled, affluence hidden, eternal rap tures hushed up, a queen in mask, a princess in disguise I When yon think of a queen, you do not think of Catherine of Russia or Ma ria Theresa of Austria or Mary, qncen of Scots. When yon think of a queen, you think of a plain woman who sat op posite your father at the table or walked with him down the path of life arm in arm—sometimes to tho Thanksgiving banquet, sometimes to the grave, but always side by aide, soothing your littlo sorrows and adjusting your little quar rels, Istening to your evening prayer, tolling with the needle or at the spin ning whe-1 and on cold nightc tucking you up snug and warm, and then on that dark day when sbo lay a-dying, patting those thin hands that had toiled for you so long—putting them together in a dying prayer commending yon to that God in whom she had taught you to trust. Oh, sho was tho queen—she was the qncen! Yon cannot think of her now withont having the deepest emo tions of your soul stirred, and yon feel as if you could cry as though you were now sitting in infancy on her lap, and if yon call her back to speak your name with the tenderness with which sho once spoke, yon would bo willing now to throw yourself on tho sod that covers her grave, crying, ‘‘Mother, mother!” Ah, she was a queen! Your father knew It. You know it. Sho was tho qneen, but tho queen in disguise. The world did not recognize it. A G ratal DlNgutao. But there was a grander disguising. Tho favorite of a great house looked out of tho window of his palace and ho saw that the people were carrying heavy burdens and that some of them wore hob bling on crutches, and he saw sumo ly ing at the gate exhibiting their sores, and then ho heard their lamentation and he said, “I will just put on tho clothes of those poor people, and I will go down and see what their sorrows are, and I will sympathize with thorn, aud I will bo one of them, aud I will help them.” Well, tho day came fer him to start. Tho lords cf tho land came to see him off. All who could sing joined in the parting song, which shook the hills and woke up tho shepherds. Tho first few nights ho has been sleeping with the hostlers and Ihc camel drivers, for no one knew there was a king in town. He wont among the doctors of tho law, as tounding them, for, without any doc tor’s gown, ho know more law than tho doctors, lie fished with tho fishermen, he smote with his own hammer in tho carpenter's shop, he ate raw corn out of the field, he fried fish on tho banks of Gouneaaret. He was howled at by crazy peoplo in the tombs, he was splashed of tho surf of tho sea, a pilgrim withont any pillow, a sick man without any medicament, a mourner with no sym- pathetie bosom in which ho could pour his tears. Disguise complete 1 1 know that occasionally his divine royalty flashed out, as when in tbo storm on Galilee, as in tho red wine nt tho wed ding banqnet, as when he freed the shackled demoniac of Gadara, us when he turned a whole school of fish into the not of tho discouraged boatmen, ns when ho throbbed life into the shriveled arm of tho paralytic; but fur tho most part lie was in disguise. No one saw tho king's jewels in his sandal; no one leivv tho royal robo iu his pluiu coat; no one knew that that shelterless Christ owned all tho mansions iu which the hierarchs of heaven had their habitation; nono knew that that hungered Christ owned all tho olive groves and all the harvests which shook their gold on the hills of Palostino; no ouo know that ho who said, ”1 thirst!” poured tho Kuphrates out of his own chalice; no one know that the occu'i lay in tho palm of his hand like a dowdrop iu the vase of n lily; no one know that tho stars aud moons and suns and gulaxiea and con- atcllations that marched on age after age were, us compared with his life time, the sparkle of a firefly on a Hum mer night; no one knew that tho sun in midhouveu was only tho shadow of his throne; no one know that his crown of universal dominion was covered up with abunehof thorns. Omnipotence sheath ed iu a human body, omniscience hid den iu a human eye, infinite Jovo beat ing in a human heart, everlasting har- monies subdued into a human voice, royalty on musque, Rruudcuw of heaven iu earthly disguisol MmUs Torn Off. My subject also inipressia mo with how people put on musks and how the Lord tears them off. It was a terrible moment iu tho history of this woumu of Tirzah when the prophet accosted in r, practically -faying: ”1 kuow who you are. You caunot cheat mo. You cannot impepu upon mo. Why foiguost thou thyself to bo another?” She had a right to ask for tho restoration of her son. She had no right to practice that falsehood. It is never right to do wrong.- Some times you may bo able to conceal an af fair. It is not necesRary to tell every- thing. There is a natural pressure to the lips which reems to indicate that silence sometimes i* right, but for double deal ing, for moral shuffling, for counterfeit and . for sham God has nothing but anathema and exposure. He will tear off tho lio. Ho will rip up tho empiricism. Ho will ccntter tho ambnscade. There are peoplo who ore just ready to he duped. They seem to be waiting to be deceived. They believe lu ghosts. They saw one themselves once. They beard something strange in an uninhabited house. Going along tho road one night, something approached thorn in white and crossed the road. They would think it very disastrous to count tho numbor of carriages at a funeral. They hoard in a neighbor’s house something that por tended death in tho family. They say it is a sure sign of evil if a bat fly into a room on a summer night or they see tho morn over the left shoulder. They would not for tho world undertake any enterprise on Friday, forgetful of tho fact that if they look over tho calendar of the world they will see that Friday has been the most fortunate day iu all the history of the world. As near as I can toll, looking over the calendar of tho world’s history, more grand, bright, beautiful things have happened on Friday than any other day of the week. They would not for the world begin anything on Friday. They would not for tho world go back to tho house for anything after they had once started. Such people are ready to bo duped. Ignorance comes along, perhaps in the disguise of med ical science, and carries them captive, for there are always some men who havo found some strange aud mysterious weed in some strange place aud plucked it lu the moonshine, and then they cover the board fences with tho advertisements of “elixir” and “panaceas” and “Indian mixtures” aud ‘‘ineffable cataplasms” and “unfailing disinfectants” and “lightning salves” aud ’ , instantaneous ointments,” enough to stun and scarify and poultice and ' kill half tho race. They arc all ready to be wrought upon by such impositions. Ah, my friends, do not bo among such dupes. Do not act tho part of such persons as I havo been describing. Stand back from all chi canery, from all imposition. They who practice such imposition shall bo exposed in the day of God’s indignation. They may rear great fortunes, but their dap ple grays will bo arrested on the road Fonm day, as was tho ass by tho angel of God with drawn sword. Tho light of tho last day will shine through all such subterfuges, and, with a voice louder than that which accosted this imposition of tho text: "Como in, thou wifoof Jer oboam. Why feignest thou thyself to bo another?” with a voice louder than that God will thunder down into midnight darkness and doom and death all two faced meu, and all charlatans, and all knaves, and all jockeys, and all swind lers. Behold how tho people put on the macks and behold how tho Lord tours them off I Fixed Frovldonce. My subject also impresses mo with how precise and accurate and particular are God’s providences. Just at the mo ment that woman entered tho city the child died. Just as it was prophesied, so it turned out, so it always turns out. The event occurs, the death takes place, the nation is born, tho despotism is overthrown nt the appointed time. God drives the universe with a stiff rein. Events do not just happen so. Things do not go slipshod. In all tho book of God’s providences there is not ouo “if. ” God’s providences are never caught iu dishabille. To God there arc no surpris es, no disappointments aud no accidents. The most insignificant event flung out in the ages is the connecting link be tween two great chains—tho chain of eternity past and the chain of eternity to come. 1 am no fatalist, but I should bo com pletely wretched if I did not feel that ail tho affairs of my life are iu God’s hand, and all that pertains to me and mine, just us certainly as all tho affairs of this woman of tho text, as this child of tho text, as this king of the text, wore iu God's hand. You may ask mo a hun dred questions I cannot answer, but I sbal! until the day of my death believe tluit 1 am under tho unerring care of God, and the heavens may fall, and tho world may burn, and tho judgment may thunder, and eternal ages may roll, hut not a hair shall fall from my head, not u shadow shall drop on my path, not a sorrow shall transfix my heart without being divinely arranged—arranged by a loving, sympathetic Father. Ho bottles our tears, he catches our sorrows, and to tho orphan ho will be a Father, and to tho widow ho will be a husband, and to the outcast he will be a home, ami to tho most miserable wretch that this day crawls up out of tho ditch of his abom ination crying for moroy he will ho an all pardoning God. Thu rocks shall turn gray with age, aud the forests Hindi be unmoored in tho last hurricane, and tho uun shall shut its fiery eyelid, and tho stars Khali drop Tike blasted figs, aud tho continents shall go down like anchors in the deep, and the ocean shall benvo its last groan and lush itself with expir ing agony, and the world shall wrap it self in a winding sbeemf flame and leap on the funeral pyre of the judgment day, but God's love shall not die. It will kindle its suns after all other lights have gone out. It will bo a billowy sea after the last ocean has wept itself away. It will warm itself by the Are of a con suming wond. It will aing while tho archangel's trumpet is pooling forth and the air is filled with tho crush of broken sepulchres and tho rush of tho wings of the rising dead.

It I* Mode From Wood Pulp, Old Itnga and Vegetable Wante. An interesting now product, to bo seen at the Philadelphia museums, 233 South Fourth street, is artificial silk, which is made from wood pulp, old rags, cotton stalks nnd various other sorts of vegetable waste. From informa tion received from correspondents iho museums aro enabled to give a descrip tion of tbo process of this new fabric. All vegetable fiber, such as wood, flax, cotton and jute, may by a process of di gestion—treatment by acids and alkailes —be reduced to what, iu tho commerce of chemistry, iu known as cellulose. In other words, they become mere cellular tissue, the substance secreted by tho liv ing protoplasm of n vegetable cell in or der to form its investing membrane or cell wall. Cellulose is indeed made from wood pulp, the debris from cotton, jute and other spinning industries, etc., for a variety of commercial purposes, and it is this material which is the basis of artificial silk. The process of preparation of this fluid is a purely chemical one. It is in the subsequent treatment of the fluid and its conversion into a textile fiber that tho main interest centers, from an industrial point of view. This process is shown in operation npon a machine which is a modification of the ordinary flier spin ning frame. Tho fluid, a muddy, yel lowish substance, isooutained iu a glass jar, from which it is convoyed through pipes to a row of small bent glass tubes, each having nn extremely fine nozzle or orifice. These tubes arc arranged in a hollow trough of water, the orifice be ing beneath tho water level. As tho flnid leaves the nozzle the water removes 60 per cent of the solvent, nnd the fluid immediately coagulates and it is drawn off in a remarkably fine filament of brilliant luster and, when dry, of great est tenacity. Half a dozen such fila ments arc gathered together and spun. The yarn can be spun to any thickness of count, aud a thread, it is claimed, is of even diameter throughout, unbroken, and it may bo produced of unlimited length. The artificial silk will stand washing and ironing without losing luster cr without any impairment of color. A company has been formed to men- ufnctnre it, with a capital of £108,000. Its works are near Manchester, Eng land. Tho samples now on exhibition nfc the Commercial museums show nil tho patterns that have as yet been turned out. It is believed that samples of this fabric arc to bo soon nowhere elso in this country. It is being turned out in Englnud for the South American markets nt a price of 0^ pence (10 cents) per yard, and tho fabric is made of a uniform width cf 19^ inches. It seems likely that the new wood silk will come into general use for goods in which an attractive ap pearance is more desired than lasting qualities, snob as fringe, braid, gimp, neckties, etc.—Philadelphia Ledger. Grant and tin* 1’hronoloclnt. Of this famous incident there aro two versions. Tho father’s story rnns thus: “When Ulysses was about 13 years old, tbo first phrenologist who ever made his appearance in that part of the country came to our neighborhood. One Dr. Buckner, in order to test the accu racy of the phrenologist, asked him if ho would bo blindfolded nud examine a head. The phrenologist replied that ho would. So they blindfolded him, and then brought Ulysses forward to havo his head examined. “He felt it all over for romo time, saying to himself:‘It is no very com mon head. It is an extraordinary head!’ At length Dr. Buckner broke in with the inquiry whether tho hoy would bo likely to distinguish himself iu mathe matics. “Yea,” said tho phrenologist, “In mathematics or anything else. It would not ho Strang*) if wc should soo him president of the United atntes. ” The village version of tho incident is quite different. With all his shrewdness and energy, tho neighbors say, there was a strain of singular gnilelessnoss in Jpsro Grant. Ho was credulous and sim ple—iu tho old meaning of tho word simple. According to their report, Dr. Buck ner was only putting up a practical joke on his neighbor Grant. As tho timid and blushing Ulysses was pushed for ward to the platform the crowd began to titter, nnd tho quick wilted lecturer seized upon tho situation.—Hamlin Garland iu McClure’s. A Itluut Young OuiH-n. Here are three stories of tho young qneen of Holland, illustrative of her outspoken frankness. When sho waa told of tho atrocities of the Duke of Al va and of the cruel policy of the ypnn- ih)i kings toward her country, she be came indignant and exclaimed, "I am very angry, aud after that the king of Spain must never expect that i shall in vite him to my court. ” She speaks out and fears no one. Her frankness has sometimes caused her to regret her words. For instance, on ouo ocoasinn she was sitting to tho painter Joaselin do Jongc, when sho exclaimed to her mother in French, “Mother, this cver- 1 anting painter will boro me to death!" After a few momenta the painter stop ped and in the best of French said, "That will do for today." When asked by the Prince of Wales during her visit to England how sho liked tho English people, ahu replied that she was aston ished at their being so nice and amiable. “I should never havo thought it from the specimens I have aoen iu Holland” —a remark that is said to have amused tho prince greatly. What tho Study of tltv llumU Tails. Palmists say that long fingers arc n I Hign of refinement. A short, stubby hand tttguis a lack of sensibility; a thin thiiuili, rather miuill, denotea weakness. Strength of character is shown by the thumb usHcrting itself over tho other fingers. If the thumb curves backward, its owner is obstinate.—Lodioa'Homo I Journal.
