The hotel of our time had no coun

by hunting, and when we come to the I

Again, this woman of my text was
great in her Id iciness toward God’s
nie-engtr Elisha may have been a
slrang' r in that ho.iseliold, bat as she
found out lie had come on a divine mis-
| sioii he was cordially welcomed. 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

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

where there was no hospitality. A

him until, flushed and excited and em

coming to some half filled pew, with

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

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

of the world has burst with woo. Navi

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

Oh, what a rebuke to the strife for

are who want to get. great are!i:t« , ctiu«

or better than their neighbors, and in

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

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.

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

vassalage are snapped, jmd she rises
from ignominy to exalted sphero and

A Uialii)li(*al Invention.
Details are given of an invention
which fills ns with dismay According
to the account furnished by the in

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

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?’

and got tho commissioners to write
their nnincsupon them, that they might
have a souv nir of the occision. One
woman saw with undi tnised com rn
lur card tilling up with plain everyday
nanu s. She was astonished that Sir
Wilfrid Mai tho other Canadian knight:;
sign 1 th* ir nanu s without the prefix
of Sir, but as the neared L *rcl H •r.- cliel
she f It that thing w uhl 1* * different,
for was in* not :i lord liigfi chancellor of
England V
Her a ton e h:*h u t turned to dismay
when the card again camo back, this
time with the single word H* r-ehel
“IT* ; h. 1!” sh aid. “Her c’u!’ Why
do ■ n't he sign it‘Lord licivehelY’ ”
In va’:* it xvas c:pi: ineil to le r that

tin * years’ sex vice, at tho expiration
of which he demanded, in accordance
with the law, his expenses lor his jour- i

Kuade him that Franco was a more de-

and insisteil nn tiie sum to which ho
was entitled being paid him. Expenses
being allowed at tho rate of so much

to *1,! ko francs. It may bo doubted if
his services to his country were worth
