[Copyright, ISW, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
Washington, April Ifl.—In his ser
mon today Dr. Tahnage lodges a protest
against the parental heedlessness and
worldly ambition which are threatening
the sacrifice of many Amerjnt- chil
dren; text, Judges xi. 86, ^My father.
If thou hast opened thy mouth unto tho
Lord, do to me according to that which
hath proceeded out of thy mouth.”
Jeplithah was a •freebooter. Early
turned out from a home where he ought
to have been cared for, he consorted
with rough men and went fortli to earn
his living as best be could. In those
times it was considered right for a men
to go ont on independent military ex
peditions. Jeplithah was a good man
according to the light cf his dark age,
but through a wandering and a preda
tory life he became reckless and precipi
tate. The grace of God changes a man’s
heart, bnt never reverses his natural
tempera men t. The Israelites wanted
the Ammonites driven out of their
country, so they sent a delegation to
Jeplithah, asking him to become com
mander in chief of all the forces. Ho
might have said, “Yon drove me out
when you had no use for me, and now
yon are in trouble you want me hack,”
hut he did not say that. Ho takes com
mand of the army, sends messengers to
the Ammonites to tell them to vacate
the country, and, getting no favorable
response, marshals his troops for battle.
Before going out to the war Jephtbah
makes a very solemn vow that if the
Lord will give him the victory then,
on his return home, whatsoever first
comes ont of his doorway ho will offer
in sacrifice as a burnt offering. The
battle opens. It was no skirmishing
on the edges of dangers, no nnlimber-
ing of batteries two miles away, bnt
tho hurling of men on the point of
swords and spears until the ground
conld no more drink tho blood and the
horses reared to leap over tho pile of
bodies of tho slain In those old times
opposing forces wonld fight nutil their
swords were broken and then each one
would throttle his man nntil they both
fell, teeth to teeth, grip to grip, death
stare to death stare, until the plain was
ono tumbled mass of corpses from which
the last trace of manhood had been
dashed out.
Jepbthah wins the day. Twenty
cities lay captured at his feet. Bound
the victory all through the mountains
of Gilead. Let the trumpeters call np
tho survivors. Homeward to yonr wives
and children. Homeward with your
glittering treasures. Homeward to have
the applause of an admiring nation.
Bnild triumphal arches. Swing out
Hags all over Mizpab. Opeu all yonr
doors to receive the captured treasures.
Through every hall spread the banquet.
Pile up the viands. Fill high the tank
urda The nation is redeemed, tho in
vaders are routed and tho national hon
or is vindicated.
Jephthnh'a Solemn Vow. •
Hnzza for Jephlhah, tho conqueror 1
Jeplithah, seated on a prancing st“ed,
advances amid the acclaiming multi
tudes, but his eye is not on tho excited
populace Remembering that he had
made a solemn vow that, returning
front victorious battle, whatsoever first
came out of the doorway of his home
that should be sacrificed as a burnt
offering, ho has his anxions look upon
the door. I wonder what spotless lamb,
what brace of doves, will be thrown
upon the fires of the burnt offering I
Oh. hcrrorsl Paleness of death
blanches his efieek. Despair seizes his
heart His daughter, his only child,
rushes out the doorway to throw herself
in her father’s anus and shower upon
him more kisses than there were wounds
on his breast or dents on his shield. All
the triumphal splendor vanishes. Hold
ing back this child from his heaving
breast and poshing the locks back from
the fair brow and looking into tho eyes
of inextinguishable affection, with
choked ntterance be says: “Would to
God I lay stark on the bloody plain!
Aly danghtcr. my only child, joy of my
home, life of my life, thou art the sac
rifice!”
The whole matter was explained to
her This was no whining, hollow
hearted girl into whose eyes the father
looked All the glory of sword and
shield vanished in the presence of the
valor of that girl There may have been
u tremor of the lip. as a rose leaf trem
bles in the sough of the south wind;
there may have been tho starting of a
tear like a raindrop shaken from the
anther of a water lily Bnt with u self
sacrifice that man may not reach and
only woman’s heart can compass she
snrrenders herself to fire and to death
She cries out in tho words of my text,
“My father, if thou bast opened thy
mouth unto the Lord, do unto r > what
soever hath proceeded from thy mouth. ’
She bows to the knife, and the blood,
which so often ut the father's voice had
rnsbed to the crimson cheek, smokes in
the fires of the burnt offering. No one
can tell ns her name. There is no need
that we know her name. The garlands
that Mizpuli twisted for Jeplithah the
warrior have gone into the dust, but
all ages are twisting this girl’s chaplet
It is well that her name came not to
ns, for no one can wear it They may
take the name of Deborah or Abigail or
Miriam, but no one in all the ages shall
have the title of this daughter of sacri'
flea
Not Pleaaloa; to the Lord.
Of course this offering was not pleas
ing to the Lord, especially as a provi
sion was made in the law for such a
contingency, and Jephthah might have
redeemed bis daughter by the payment
of 30 shekels of silver. Bnt before you
bar] your denunciations at Jepbthab’s
cruelty remember that in olden times,
when vows were made, men thought
they must execute them, perform them,
whether they were wicked or good.
There were two wrong things about
Jephthah s Vow. First, bo ought never
! to have made it. Next, having made it,
j it were better broken than kept. But
do uottaku on pretentions airs and say,
“1 could ( iOt have done as Jephlhah
did.” if in former days you had been
1 standing on the hanks of the Ganges
; and yon hud Iktu born in India, yon
i might have thrown yonr children to
i the crocodiles. It is not because we are
, naturally any better, hot because we
bave more ifoebel light.
Now I make very practical use of
this question when 1 tell you that the
sacrifice of Jephtbah’a daughter was a
typo of the physical, mental and spirit-
nnl sacrifice of ten thousand children
in this day. There are parents all un
wittingly bringing to hear upon their
children a class of influences which will
as certainly ruin them as knife and
torch destroyed Jeplithak’s daughter.
While I speak, the whole nation, with
out emotion and without shame, looks
upon the stupendous sacrifice.
In the first place, I remark that much
of the system of education in our day
is a system of sacrifice. When children
spend six or seven honrs in school and
then must spend two or three hours in
preparation for school the next day,
will you tell mo how much time they
will have for sunshine and fresh air
and the obtaining of that exuberance
which is necessary for tho duties of
coming life? No one can feel more
thankful than I do for the advancement
of coinntcn school education. The
printing of books appropriate for
schools, the multiplication of philo
sophical apparatus, the establishment
of normal schools, which provide for
our children teachers of largest caliber,
are themes on which every philanthro
pist ought to he congratulated. Bnt
this herding of great multitudes of
children in ill ventilated schoolrooms
and poorly equipped hnllsof instruction
ie making many of the places of knowl
edge in this country a huge holocaust.
Pclitics in many of the cities gets into
educational affairs and while the two
political parties are scrabbling for the
honors Jepbthah’s daughter perishes.
It is so much so that there are many
schools in the country today which are
preparing tens of thousands of invalid
men and women for the future; so that,
in many places, by the time the child’s
education is finished the child is fin
ished! In many places, in many cities
of the country, there are large appro
priations for everything else and cheer
ful appropriations, but as soon as the
appropriation is to be made for the edu
cational or moral interests of the city
we are struck through with an economy
that is well nigh the death of us.
Danger of Ovemtnily.
In connection with this I mention
what I might call the cramming system
of tho common schools and many of the
academies; children of delicate brain
compelled to tasks that might appall a
mature intellect; children going down
to school with a strap of books half as
high as themselves. The fact is, in some
of the cities parents do not allow their
children to graduate for tho simple
reason, they say, “Wo cannot afford to
allow our children’s health to he de
stroyed in order that they may gather
the honors of an institution.” Tens of
thousands of children educated into im
becility, so that connected with many
such literary establishments there ought
to be asylums for the wrecked. It is
push and erowd and cram and stuff
and jam until the child’a intellect ia be
wildered and the memory is ruined and
the health is gone. There are children
who once were full of romping and
laughter and had cheeks crimson with
health who are now turned out in the
afternoon pale faced, irritated, asth
matic. old before their time. It is ono
of the saddest sights on earth, an old
mannish hoy or an old womanish girl.
Girls 10 years of age studying algebra!
Boys 12 years of age racking their brain

tell yon what is the matter cf them
They are finishing thedr education!
In my parish in Philadelphia a little
child was so pushed at school that she
was thrown into a fever, and in her
dying delirium, all night long, she was
trying to recite the multiplication ta
ble. In iny boyhood I remember that in
onr class at school there was ono lad
who knew more than all of us put to
gether. If we were fast in cur arith
metic, he extricated ns. When we stood
up for the spelling class, he was almost
always the head of tho class. Visitors
came to his father's boose, and be was
always brought in as a prodigy. At Iff
years of ago he was an idiot. He lived
ten years an idiot and died an idiot,
not knowing his right hand from his
left or day from night. The parents and
the teachers made him an idiot
Wrouic System of fOdncotlon.
Yon may flatter your pride by forcing
yonr child to know mere than any ether
children, but you are making a sacri
fice of that child if by the additions to
its intelligence yon are making a sub
traction from its future. The child will
go away from such maltreatment with
no exuberance to fight the battle of
life. Such children may get along very
wtll while yon take care of them, but,
when yon are old or dead, alas for
them if through the wrong system of
education which yon adopted they
have no swarthiness or force of charac
ter to take care of themselves! Be care
ful how you make the child’s head ache
or its heart flutter. I hear a great (Teal
about black man’s rights, and China
man’s rights, and Indian’s rights, and
woman’s rights. Would to God that
somebody would rise to plead for chil
dren’s rights! The Cartbagenians used
to sacrifice their children by putting
them into the arms of an idol which
thrust forth its hand. The child was
put into tho arms of the idol, and no
sooner touched tho arms than it dropped
into tho fire. But it was the art of the
mothers to keep the children smiling
and laughing nntil the moment they
died. There may be a fascination and
a hilarity about the styles of education
of which 1 ant speaking, but it is only
laughter at the moment of sacrifice.
Wonld God there were only ono Jepb-
tbah's daughter!
Again, there are many parents who
are sacrificing their children with
wrong system of discipline—too great
rigor or too great leniency. There are
children in families who rale the house
hold. The high chair in which the in
fant sits is the throne, and the rattle is
the scepter, and the other children
make up the parliament where father
and mother have no vote! Such chil
dren come up to be miscreants. There
is no chance in this world for a child
that has never learned to mind. Such
people become the botheration of the
church .tf God and the pest of the world.
Children that do not learn to obey hu
man authority are unwilling to learn
to obey divine authority. Children will
not respect parents whose authority
they do not respect. Who are these
young men that swagger througn tne
st’cet with their thumbs in their vest
talking about their father ns “the old
man - ,” “the governor,” “the squire.”
“theold chap,“or their mother as “the
eld woman t" They are those who in
youth, in childhood, never learned to
respect authority. Eli, having heard
that his sons had died in their wicked
ness, fell over backward and broke his
neck and died. Well ho might 1 What
is lifp to a father whose sons are de

pleasant to his taste, and tho driving

Ilnniioii)’ In the Home.
There must be burmony between ths
father's government and the mother’s
government. The father will he tempt
ed to too great rigor. The mother will
be tempted to too great leniency. Her
tenderness will overcome her. Her voice
is a little softer; her hand seems better
fitted to pull out a thorn and soothe a
pang. Children wanting anything from
the mother cry for it. They hope to
dissolve her with tears. But the mother
must wot interfere, must not coax off,
must not beg for tho child when the
hour comes for the assertion of parental
supremacy and tho subjugation of
a child's temper. There comes in tho
history of every child an hour when it
is tested whether the parents shall rule
or the child shall rule. That is the
crucial hour. If tho child triumphs in
that hour, then he will some day make
yon crouch. It is a horrible scene. I
have witnessed it—a mother come to old
age, shivering with terror in the pres
ence cf a eon who cursed her gray hairs
and mocked her wrinkled face and be
grudged her the cruet she munched
with her toothless gums!
How tiiarper than a serpent's tooth It Is
To have a thankless child!
But, on tho other hand, too great
rigor must ha avoided. It is a sad thing
when domestic government becomes cold
military despotism. Trappers on the
prairie tight fire with fire, hut you can
not succcisfully fight your child’s bad
temper with your own bud tern par. Wo
must w< t be too minute in our inspec
tion. We cannot expect our children to
be peW t. We must net see everything.
Since we have two or threw faults of
our own. we ought not to he too rough
when .>e discover that our children
have a., many. If tradition be true,
when wo were children we were not all
little Samuels, and our parents were
not fearful lest th*y could not raise us
because of cur premature goodness. Yon
cannot scold or pound your children in
to nobility of character. The bloon of
a child’s heart can never he reen nnder
a cold drizzle. Above all, avoid fretting
and scolding in the household. Better
than ten years of fretting at your chil
dren is one good, round, old fashioned
application of tho slipper! That minis
ter of tho gospel of whom we read in
the newspapers that he whipped his
child to death because be would aot eey
bis prayers will never eome to canon
ization. The aritbmeties cannot calcu
late how many thousands of children
have been ruined forever either through
too great rigor or too great leniency.
The n .avens and the earth are filled
with the groan of the saerificed. In this
important matter, seek divine, direc
tion. O father, O mother!

Again, there are many who are cac-
rificing their children to n spirit of
worldlinetw. Sumo ono asked a mother
whose children had turned out very
well what was the secret by which she
prepared them for usefulness and for
the Christian life, and she said: “This
was the secret: When in the morning
I washed my children, I prayed that
they might he washed in the fountain
of a Saviour’s mercy. When I put on
their garments, I prayed that they
might he arrayed in the robe of a Sav
iour’s righteousness. When I gave them
food, I prayed that they might lie fed
with manna from heaven. When I
started them on the road to school, I
prayed that their path might he as the
shinin'' light, brighter and brighter to
the perfect day. When I put them to
sleep, I prayed that they might be en
folded in tlte Savionv'a arms.” “Oh,”
yon say, “that was very old fashioned!”
It was quite old fashioned. But do you
suppose that a child under such nurture
as that ever turned ont bad t
In our day most boys start out with
no idea higher than the all encompassing
dollar. They start in an ago which
boasts it can scratch the Lord’s Prayer
on a 10 cent piece and the Ten Com
mandments on a 10 cent piece. Chil
dren are taught to reduce morals and
religkn, time and eternity, to vulgar
fractions. It seems to be their chief ut-
taimm ut that 10 cents make a dime
and 10 dimes make a dollar. Howto
get money is only iqnaled by the other
art—how to keep it. Tell me, ye who
know, what chanco there is for those
who start out in life with such per
verted sentiments! The money market
resounds again and again with the
downfall of such people. If I had a
drop of blood on the tip of a pen, I
wonld tell you by what awful tragedy
many of the youth of this country are
ruined.
Further on, thousands and tens of
thousands of the daughters of America
are sacrificed to worldlincss. They are
taught to he in sympathy with all the
artificialties of society. They are in
ducted into all the hollowness of what
is called fashionable life. They are
taught to believe that history is dry,
bnt that 50 cent stories of adventurous
love are delicious. With capacity that
might have rivaled a Florence Night
ingale in heavenly ministries or made
the father’s house glad with filial and
sisterly demeanor, their life is a waste,
their bounty a curse, their eternity a
demolition.
Sacrifice at Y!nrr!n<(e Altar.
In the siege of Charleston, during
our civil war, a lieutenant of the army
stood on the floor be:;ide the daughter
of the ex-governor of the state of South
Carolina. They were taking the vows
of marriage. A bombshell struck the
roof, dropped into the group, and nine
were wounded and slain, among the
wounded to death the bride. While the
bridegroom knelt on the carpet trying
to stanch the wounds the bride de
manded that the ceremony he complet
ed, that she might toko the vows before
her de;iurture, and when the minister
said, “Wilt thou be faithful unto
dasthi” with her dying line she laid.
“I will,” and in two honrs she had de
parted. That was the slaughter and the
sacrifice of tlte body, bnt at thousands
of marriage altars there are daughters
plain for time and slain for eternitj'.
It is not a marriage. It is a massacre.
Affianced to some one who is only
waiting until his father dies po he can
get tho property; then a littlo while
they swing around in the circles, bril
liant circles; then tho propet ty is gone,
and, having no power to earn a liveli
hood, the twain sink into some corner
of society, the husband an idler and a
eot, the wife a drudge, a slave and a
sacrifice. Ah. spare your denunciations
from Jephthah’s head and expend them
all on this wholesale modern martyr
dom !
I lift np my voice against tho sacri
fice of children. I look out of my win
dow on a Sabbath, and I see a group of
children unwashed, uncombed, un-
Christianizod. Who- cares for them?
Who prays for them? Who utters to
them one kind word? When tho city
missionary, passing along the park in
New York, saw a ragged lad and heard
him swearing, he said to him: “My
son, stop swearing! You ought to go to
the house of God today. You ought to
ho good. You ought to bo a Christian.”
The lad looked in his face and said :
“Ah! It is easy for you to talk, well
clothed as yon are and well fed. But
we chaps hain’t got no chance.” Who
lifts them to the altar for baptism?
Who goes forth to snatch them upfront
crime and death and woe? Who today
will go forth and bring them into
schools and churches? No; heap them
up, great plies of rags and wrecthedness
and filth. Put underneath them the
fires of sacrifice, stir up the blaze, put
on more fagots, and, while we sit in
the churches with folded arms and in
difference, crime and disease and death
will go on with the agonizing sacrifice.
Mightier Geaeratioa Coa:lng.
Daring the early French revolution
at Bourgcs there was a company of
boys who used to train every day as
young soldiers, and they carried a flag,
and they bad on the flag this inscrip
tion: “Tremble, tyrants, tremble! We
are growing np.’’ Mightily suggestive!
This generation is pawdug off, and a
mightier generation is coming on. Will
they be the foes of tyranny, the foes of
sin and the foes of death, or will they
be the foes of God? They are coming
np! I congratulate ali parents who are
doing their best to keep their children
away from the altar of sacrifice. Your
prayers are going to be answered. Your
children may wander away from God,
but they will come hack again. A voice
comes from the throne today, encourag
ing you—“I will he a God to thee and
to thy seed after thee.” And, tbongh
when you lay your head in death there
may he some wanderer of the family far
away from God. and you may he 20
years in heaven before salvation shall
come to his heart, he will lie brought
into the kingdom, and hafore the throne
of God you will rsjoiue that you were
faithful. Coxae at last, though so long
postponed his coming. Come at last!
I congratulate all those who are toil
ing for the outcast and the wandering.
Your work will soon be over, hut the
influence you are setting in motion will
never stop. Long after you have been
garnered for the skies your prayers, your
teachings and your Christian influence
will go on and help to people heaven
with bright inhabitants. Which would
you rather see, which scene would you
rather mingle in in the last great day
—being able to say, “I added house to
bouse and land to land and manufac
tory to manufactory, I owned half the
city, whatever my eye taw I had, what
ever I wanted 1 got,” or on that day to
have Christ look you full in the face
and say* “I was hungry and ye fed me;
I was naked and ye clothed me; I was
sick and in prison and ye visited me;
inasmuch as yo did it to the least of
these my brethren, yo did it to me?”

Cnlllnir the Ball Moose.
The most experienced professional
callers differ widely in their efforts to
simulate the plaintive challenge of tb*
cow moose. The call employed by soma
of the guides in Maine and New Bruns
wick is a rasping roar, that on a wind
less, moonlit night fairly shatters the
silence for miles around like a wither
ing storm of grape. Yet they declare
that this will bring the hull. Borne
affect a short, then a long, then two
more short calls. Others prefer a single
long call. Tho Moutagnais Indians cl
Quebec nse a siiccoshiou of short calls.
Many of tho Miciuac and Milicete
guides, when at tbo height of the long
call, cut the note off ahrnptly with a
sort of choking sob.
Tho low call or “coaxer” is a tough
proposition for tho amateur. It is only
needed when the moose is very near,
and, as ho is then likely to bo suspi
cious, with all his senses on the alert,
tbo call must bo given with the ntmost
skill aud caution. A single false note
and ho will steal away on velvet foot
as silently as a ghost
Many old hunters claim that as soon
as the first answering grant is heard
from the bull, away across the lake or
up tbo mountain side, the caller should
call no more. They say that the moose,
though he may bo miles away, locate!
the sound exactly ; that bis answer in
dicates that he will surely oome, and 1*
even then on the way.—Frank H. Bis-
teen in Outing.
