■r A SERMON FOR WOMEN REV. DR. TALMAGE DESCRIBES THE NEW WOMAN. .He Ha* Faith In Kvancvlintic Triumph and I’rogrt «* In the Iliclit Dircition. Thi* Im a Good World I'or Girl*—Moth- 11 Too Often Forgotten. Washington, Nov. 17.-—Rev. Dr. Tal- tnage took for thounbjrct of today’s ser- mon “A Word With Women,” tho (ext for the occasion being the following let ter received by the distinguished preach- er: Rkvekend Sir—You delivered u discourse In aiifru'cr to u letter from six young men of Fayette, O., requesting you to preach a k r- nion on “Advice to Young Men.” Are we justi fied in asking you to preach a sermon on “ Ad vice to Y'oung WomenV” Letter 8h;neu nv Six Young Women. Christ, who took Ins text from » flock of birds flying overhead, saying, “Be hold the fowls of tho air,” and from the flowers in the valley, saying, “Consider the lilies of tho field,” and from the clucking of a barnyard fowl, saying, “As a ben gathereth herchickeus under her wing,” and from a crystal of salt picked up by the roadside, saying,“Salt is good,” will grant us a blessing if, in stead of taking a text from the Bible, I take for my text this letter from Cin cinnati, which is only cno of many let ters which I have received from young women in New York. New Orleans, San Francisco,Loudon, Edinburgh, and from the ends of the earth, all implying that, having some months ago preached the sermon on “Advice to Young Men,” I could not, without neglect of duty, re fuse to preach a sermon on “Advice to Young Women.” It is the more important that the pul pit be heard on this subject at this time when we are having such an illimitable discussion about what is called the new woman, as though some new creature of God had arrived on earth or were about to arrive. One theory is that she will be an athlete, and boxing glove and football and pugilistic encounter will characterize her. Another theory is that she will superintend ballot boxes, sit in congressional hall and through improved politics bring the millennium by tho evil she will extirpate and the good she will install. Another theory is that she will adopt masculine attire and make sacred a vulgarianism positively horrific. Another theory is that she will he so (esthetic that broom handle and rolling pin and coal scuttle will be pictorialized with tints from soft skies or suggestions of Rembrandt and Raphael. The New Woman Will He Good. Heaven deliver the church and the world from any one of those styles of new woman! She will never come. I have so much faith in the evangelistic triumph and in the [frogress of all things in the right direction that I prophesy that style of new woman will never ar rive. She would handover this world to diabolism, and from being, as she is now, the mightiest agency for the world’s uplifting, she would be the mightiest force for its downtbrust. I will tell you who the new woman will be. It will be the good woman of all the ages past. Here and there a dif ference of attire, as the temporary cus tom may command, hut the same good, honest, lovely, Christian, all influential being that your mother and mine was. Of that kind of woman was Christian Eddy, who, talking to a man who was so much of an unbeliever he had named his two children Voltaire and Tom Paine nevertheless saw him converted, he breaking down with emotion as he said to her, “I cannot stand you, you talk like my mother.” And telling the story of his conversion to companions who had been blatant oppm ers of religion they asked her to come and see them also and tell them of Christ, and four of them were converted, and all the oth ers greatly changed, and the leader of the band, departing for heaven, shouted: “.Joyful! Joyful! Joyful!” Ifyouknow any better stylo of woman than that, where is she? The world cannot im prove on that kind. The new woman may have more knowledge because she will have more hooks, hut she will have no more common s< n,-o than that which tried to manage and discipline and edu cate us, and did as well as she could with such unpromising material. fc?he may have more health than the woman of other days, for the sewing machine and the- sanitary regulations and added intelligence on the subjects of diet, ven tilation and exercise and rescue from many fonus of drudgery may allow her more longevity, but she will have the same characteristics which God gave her in paradise, with the exception of tho nervous shock :md moial jolt of the fall she got that day when, not noticing where she stepped, she looked up into the brandies of the fruit tree. But I must be specific. This letter Jie- foro mo wants advice to young women. Get Klsiit With God. Advice the first: 'Get your soul right with God and you will be in tho best attitude for everything that comes. New ways of voyaging liy sea, new ways of traveling by land, new ways of thrash ing tho harvests, new ways of printing books—and (be patent ofllco is enough to enchant a man who has mechanical in genuity and knows u good deal of levers and wheels—and wo hardly do anything us it used to be done; invention after invention, invention on top of inven tion. But in the matter of gettingright with God there lias not boon an inven tion for 0,000 years. It is on the sumo line of repentance that David exercised about his sins, and tho same old stylo of prayer that the publican used when he emphasized it by an inward stroke of both hands, and the same faith in Christ that Paul suggested to tho jailer the night the penitentiary broke down. Aye, that is the reason I have more con fidence in it! It lias been tried by more millions than I dare testate lest I come fur short of the brilliant facts. All who through Christ, earnestly tried to get right with G<sl are right and always will bo right. That gives tho young woman who gets that position superior ity over all rivalries, all jealousies, all 7>- THE WEEKLY LEDGER f t 4 ** misfortunes, all health failings, all ra cial disaster*, and nil th combined troubles of m) von., if r •• ’ 1 veto be an ocf* grnaiiau.

A ppreeliite Your Mother. Advice the third: Appie'datc your mother while 3'ou have her. it is tit' til- most universal testimony of young w r-m- eu who have lost mother that they did not realize what she wa to l!um until after her exit from this life. Indeed mother is in the appreciation of many a young lady a hindrance. The maternal inspection is often considered un ob stacle. Mother has so many notions about that which is proper and that which is improper. It is astounding ho*' much more many girls know at 18 than their mothers at 4.7. With what an elab orate argument, perhaps spiced with some temper, the youngling tries to re verse the opinion of the oldling. The sprinkle of gray on the maternal fore head is rather an indication tothc re<-( nt graduate of tho female seminary that tho circumstances of today or tonight are not fully appreciated. What a wise boarding school that would be if the mothers were the pupils and tlie daughters the teachers! How well the teens could chnpcrou the fifties! Then mothers do not amount to much anyhow. They aio in the way and are always atking questions almut p< itage marks of b iters, and a king, “Who is that MaryD.?” and “Where did you form that acquaintance, Fh ra?” and “Where did you get that ring, Myra?” For rnotliers have Mich unprecedented means of knowing everything—they say “it was a bird in the air” that told them. Alas, for that bird in the air! Will not some one lift hi;- gun and shoot it? It would takewhole librurbnto hold the wisdom which the due; liter knows more than her mother. “UI13' cannot I have this?” “Whyeamu t 1 do that?” And the qu(.*ti"ii in many a go up has been,although not plainly 11ah d: “ What shall we do with the motii' r.s anyhow?
