Then the man of. the I house came forward and said to the ’ stranger “Stranger, we are a rough ! and rude people out here, and wo work j hard for a living.

W e have a great many books in our day about tic* hardships of ministers and the trials of Christian ministers. 1 wish someLody would write a b*xd: about tic* joys of the Christian minister, about the sympathies ail around about him, about the kindness, about the genial considerations of him. Does sorrow come to our home, and is there a shadow on the cradle, iinre are hundreds of hand to help and many who weary not through the night watching and bun dreds of pray* rs going up that God would r ' .■ the sick. Is there a burn ing. brimming cup of calamity placed on the pa-tor's table, are there not many to help him dri; : of that cup and who will list b comfi.rted because he is s'rie! nY Oil. iia somebody to write a l.-,* 1; e.bout tii * v< wards of the Chris tian ministry- ..bout his surroundings of < liristiau yuip.athy!

Let no such religions tramps take advantage of this beautiful virtue of Christian hospitality. Not so much the sumptuonsness of your di<*t and the regality of your abode will impress the friend or the stranger that steps across your threshold as the warmth of your greeting, the informality of your rssep- tion, the reiteration by grasp, and by look, and by a thousand attentions, in significant attentions, of yonr earnest ness of welcome. There will bo high appreciation of your welcome, though you have nothing hut the brazen can dlestick and the plain chair to offer Elisha when he comes toShunem. Most beautiful is this grace of hospitality when shown in the house of God 1 am thankful that I have always been pastor of churches where strangers are wel come. But I have entered churches where there was no hospitality. A * stranger wonld stand in the vestibule for awhile and then make a pilgrimage up the long aisle. No door opened to him until, flushed and excited and em barrassed. he started back again and. coming to some half filled pew, with apologetic air entered it, while the oc cupant glared on him with a l*x»k which ■oemod to say, “Well, if 1 must, 1 must. ” Away with such accursed in decency from the house of God Let ev- " *iy church that would maintain large .* was the hat rack all and the umbrellas and on the left Ik.mI the parlor, sofaed He pursed on t > th hall, and there was I th ■ . t Lv’y table in the cenl* r of tin* tv tor \vi It • .atlottery up* n it, 1 .1 -helvi : built.

He went down into the cellar, and there was the e*.nl for all the coming winter, lie went into tie* dining h: M, and there was the tabb* already s**t the glass and the silver ware. I • went into the kitchen, and th* re were all the culinary implements and a great stove. The young pastor lift'll one liu of the stove, and h found the feel all ready for ignition. Hutting bad the cov r of the stove, he saw in another part of it a lucifer match, and all that young man had to do in dart ing to ksep house was to strike the match You tell me that is apocryphal. Oh. no, that was my own experience Oh, the kindnesses, oh. the enlarged sympathies Hoiiie'imes clustered around those who enter the gospel ministry I I suppose the man of Shunem had to pay the bills, but it was the large hearted Christian sympathies of the woman of Shunem that looked after tlm Lord's messenger SlroiiK lo Hear Trouble. Again, this woman of the text was great in.her behavior under trouble. Her only son had died on her lap. A very bright light went out in that honseltold. The sacred writer puts it very tersely when ho says, “He sat on her knee until noon, and then he died.” Yet the writer goes on to say that she exclaimed. “It is well!” Great in pros perity. this w oman was great in trouble. Wliere are the feet that have not l»een blistered on the hot sands of this great Sahara Y Where are the soldiers that have not lient under the burden of grief? Where is the ship sailing over glassy sea that has not after awhile been caught in a cyclone? Where is the garden of earthly comfort, but trouble hath hitched up its fiery and panting team and gone through it with burning plowshare of disaster? Under the pelt ing of ages of suffering the great heart of the world has burst with woo. Navi gators tell ns about the rivers, and the Amazon, and the Wunnbc, and the Mississippi have been explored, but who can tell the depth or the length of the down the Hides to win bn the nutioiisY Oh. if 1 could gather all the heart strings, the broken h< .rt-trings. into a harp 1 would play on it a dirge sncli as was never sounded.

But, thank God. there are those who can conquer as this w iinan of tbi* H'xt conquered, and say “It is well. Though my property be gone, though my children be gone, though ray homo lie broken up. though my health he sacrificed, it is well; it is well!” There is no storm on the sea but Christ is ready to rise in the hinder part of the ship and hush it. There is no darkness but the constellation of Ge l’s eternal love can ilhimir.o, and. though the winter comes out of the northern sky. yon have sometimes seen that northern sky all ablaze with auroras which seem to say “Come up this way Up this way are thrones of light and seas of sapphire and the splendor of an etwrnal heaven.

The* promise assures us the Lord will pro :de j Home Unties. Again, this woman of my text was great in her application to domestic j duties. Every picture is a home picture, j whether she is entertaining an Elisha or whether she is giving i .ireful at ten tion to her sick boy er w hether she is appealing for the restoration of her property Every picture in her case is : one of domesticity Those are not disci- I pies of this Shun 'mite woman who, j going out toattend to outside charities, 1 neglect the duty of home—the duty of j wit;*, of motli- r, of daughter. No faith- ! fulness iii public benefaction can over i ato i * for domestic negligence. There has 1) en many a mother who by inde- ; fatigable toil has reared a largo family of children, equipping them for the du ties of life with good manners and large intelligonee and Christian principle, starting them out, who has done more for the world than many a woman whose name has sounded through all tlu* lands and through the centuries. 1 remember when Ko; nth was in this c. •untry there ware some ladies who got honorable reputation^ by presenting him very gracefully with bouquets of flowers on public occasions, but what was all that compand witli the plain Hungavi :n mother who gave lotrn h and civilization and tin: e use of imi- ver-eil liberty a KossuthY Ye.-, this wo- , man of nay text wins gr at in It* r .sim plicity Yfle n this p op!: t w...u: d to v .ward her for her hospitality by ask ing soni'.* prefi riiicnt from the king, what d: l she say?

Of course, 1 say nothing against r< line- < in-'! t or cultmv. Splendor of abode, i sumptnonsness of diet, lavishness in i art. n 'atm . s in apparel—there is noth ing against them in the Bil l .* or out of the Bible. God does not want us to prefer nmd hov< 1 to English cottage or untanned sheepskin to French broad cloth or husks to pineapple or the clum siness of a boor to the manners of a gentleman. God, who strung the beach with tinted shell and the grass of the field with the dews of tho night and hath exquisitely tinged morning cloud and robin redbreast, wants ns to keep our eye open to all beautiful sights and our ear open to all beautiful cadences and onr heart open to all elevating sen timents. (■rent In IMety. But what 1 want to impress upon yon, my hearers, is that you ought not to inventory the luxuries of life among the indispeusabl and you ought not to depreciate this woman of tho text, who. when offered kingly preferment, responded, “I dwell among my own people.” Yes, this woman of the text was great in her piety. Just read tho chapter after you go homo. Faith in God, and she was not ashamed to talk about it before idolaters. Ah. woman will never appreciate what she owes to Christianity until she knows and sees the degradation of her sex under pagan ism and Mohammedanism I Her very birtli considered a misfortune. Bold like cattle on tho shambles. Slave of all work, and at last her body fuel for tho funeral pyro of her husband. Above the shriek of tho fire worahipoya in India, and above tho rambling of tho Jugger nauts I hear tho million voiced groan of wronged, insulted, broken hearted. downtrodden woman Her tsars have fallen in t.ho Nile and Tigris, tho La Plat a, and on the st nnes of Tartary She has be m dishoTion* 1 in Turkish gar- dim ami Persian palace* s nd Spanish Al hambra. Her little ones have been sac rificed in the Indus and the Ganges. There i : not a groan, or a dungeon, or an island, or a mountain, or a river, or *1 j >.irirg them k PiVj,., or a sea but could tell a story of the outrages heaped ujion her. Bat. thanks to (lod, this gl* .non* Christianity conies forth, and all the chains of this vassalage are snapped, jmd she rises from ignominy to exalted sphero and becomes the affectionate daughter, the gentle wife, the honored mother, the | useful Christian. Oh, if Christianity , has done so much for woman, surely i woman will become its most ardent ad- | vocateaud itssnblimest exemplification! A Uialii)li(*al Invention. Details are given of an invention which fills ns with dismay According to the account furnished by the in ventor. his new phonographic voice trumpet magnifies musical and vocal sounds in such volume as to render them mn ndnrablo in a room and satis factorily distinct two miles off. In time he hopes to extend the stentorophonic capacity of this terrible trumpet to thrice that distance. His first idea was to enable ship captains to converse in a heavy sea fog or at night. Now. how ever. he has roa!;;:. *1 that by the aid of his sound magnifier telephones can be Swapping T#*l«*i>hons*a. Tlin following story comes from tho Grand llapids Prcrs and has to do with a man and a woman who are employed in different offices in ono of tho large buildings of that city. Eachofllco has a telephone, betas it happens ono is an instrument belonging to tho Citizens' company, tho other a Bell instrument. Ono day tho man had occasion to use tho Citizens’ lino and stepped across tha hall to tho lady’s office. “Have you a Citizens’ phone?” he asked, and sho replied in tha affirmative. “Well,” he ventured: “I’m a citizen. May I use it?” Why, of course he night uso it, but inwardly she was inclined to envy his ability to stand up and assert his citi zenship in this way, for some of her womanly propensities were of tho “new ish” sort. An hour later she balanced accounts with him. “Have you a Bell telephone?” she asked on stepping into his office. Ho did not try to deny it. “Well, I’m a belle. May I use it?’ Mr. S. A. Fackler, Editor of the Micanojif (Fin.) Hustier, with his wife and children, suffered terribly_ from Li Grippe. One Minute Cough i Cure was the only remedy that ! helped them. It acted quickly.
