TALMAGE SAYS IT IS WELL TO REVIEW THE PAST. lie Would Arouse Hie Soul to He in 1 - ■•■licence of IlHiiKei-s l^scnped nod Surroo s Suffered—Old Memories llnve n I’lirlfylua In line nee. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.] Washington, May 7.—This sermon of Dr. Tnlmage culls the roll of many etirring ineuiories and interprets the meaning of life’s vicissitudes. The text is Psalms xxxix, 3, “While I was mus ing, the fire burned. ” Here is David, the psalmist, with the forefinger of his right hand against his temple and the door shut against the world, engaged in contemplation. And it would be well for ns to take the same posture often, while we sit down in swet t solitude to contemplate. In a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia I once passed a Sabbath in delightful solitude, for I had resolved that 1 would have oue day of entire quiet before I entered upon autumnal work. I thought to have spent the day in laying out plans for Christian work, but instead of that it became a day of tender reminiscence. I reviewed my pastorate; I shook hands witii an old departed friend, whom I shall greet again when the curtains of life are lifted. The days of my boyhood came back, and I was 10 years of age, and I was 8, and I was 5. There was but one house on the island, and yet from Sab bath daybreak, when the bird chant woke me, until the evening melted into the bay of Fnndy, from shore to shore there were ten thousand memories, and the groves were a-hum with voices that had long ago ceased. Youth is apt too much to spend all its time in looking forward. Old ago is apt too much to spend all its time in look ing backward. People in midlife and on the apex look botli ways. It would be well for us. I think, however, to spend more time in reminiscence. By the con stitution of our nature we spend most of the time looking forward. And the vast majority of people live not so much in the present as in the future. I find that yon mean to make a reputa tion, you mean to establish yourself, and the advantages that you expect to achieve absorb a great deal of your time. But 1 see no harm in this if it does not make you discontented with the pres ent or disqualify yon for existing du ties. It is a useful tiling sometimes to look back, and to see the dangers we have escaped, and to see the sorrows we have suffered, and the trials and wan derings of onr earthly pilgrimage, and to sum up cur enjoyments. I mean, so far as God uniy help me, to stir up your memory of tho past, so that in the re view you may be encouraged and hum bled and urged to pray. A rrecloiitt Harveat. There is a chapel in Florence with a fresco by Gnidu It was covered up with two Indies of stucco until our American and Enropean artists wont there, and after long toll removed the covering and retraced tho fresco. And I am aware that tho memory of tho past, with many of yon, is all covered up with obliterations, and I now propose, so far as the Lord may help mo, to take away the covering, that tho old picture may shine out again. I want to bind in one sheaf all your past advantages, and I want to bind in another sheaf all your past adversities. It is a precious har vest, and I must bo cautious bow I swing tho scythe. Among the greatest advantages of your past life were an early home and its surroundings. The bad men of the day, for tho most part, dip their heated passions out of the boiling spring of an unhappy home. Wo are not surprised to find that Byron’s heart was a con centration of sin when we bear his mother was abandoned and that she made sport of his infirmity and often called him “tho lame brut.” He who has vicioue parents has to fight every inch of his way if he would maintain his integrity and at last reach the home of the good in heaven. Perhaps your early homo was in a city. It may have been when Pennsylvania avenue, Waslu ington, was residential as now it is commercial, and Canal street, New York, was far up town. Tliat old house in tho city may have been demolished or changed into stores, and it seemed liko sacrilege to you—for there was more meaning in that small honse than there is in u granite mansion or u tnr- reted cathedral. Looking back, you see it as though it were yesterday—-the sit ting room, where the loved one sat by tbe plain lamp light, the mother at the evening stand, the brothers and sisters perhaps long ago gathered into the skies, then plotting mischief on the fioor or under tho table; yonr father with firm voice commanding a silence that lusted half u minute. Ilniuiy Da>« Gone U>. Oh, those were good days I If you had yonr foot hurt, your mother always had a soothing salve to heal it. If you were wronged in the street, yonr father was always ready to protect you. The year was one round of frolic and mirth. Yonr greatest trouble was an April shower, more sunshine than shower. The heart hud not been ransacked by trouble, nor had sickness broken it, and no lamb had a warmer sheepfold than the home in which yonr childhood nestled. Perhaps you were brought up in the country. You stand now today in mem ory under the old tree. You clubbed it for fruit that was not quite ripe, be cause yon couldn’t wait any longer. You hear the brook rumbling along over the pebbles. You step again into the furrow where your father in his shirt sleeves shouted to the lazy oxen. Yon frighten the swallows from the rafters of the barn and toko just one egg and silence your conscience by say ing they will not miss it. You take a drink again out of the very bucket that the old well fetched up. Yon go for the cows at night and find them pushing their heads through the bars. Ofttimes in tho dusty and busy streets you wish yon were home again on that cool grass, or in the rag carpeted hall of the farm house, through which there came tho breath of new mown hay or the blossom of buckwheat, Yon may have in yonr windows now beautiful plants and Bowers brought from across the sens, but not one of them stirs in your soul so much charm and memory as the old ivy and the yel low sunflower that stood sentinel along the garden walk and the forgetmenots playing hide and seek mid the long grass. The father who used to como in " sunburned front the field and sit down on the docrsill and wipe the sweat from his brow may have gone to his evcrluet- ng rest. The mother who used to sit at tho door a little bent over, cap and spectacles on, her face mellowing with the vicissitudes of many years, may have put down her gray head on the pillow in tho vnliey, but forget that homo you never will. Have yon thanked God for itV Have you rehearsed all these blessed reminiscencesV Oh, thank God for a Christian father I Thank God for a Christian mother 1 Thank God for an early Christian altar at which you were taught to kneel! Thank God for an early Christian home! A Great Mlnalon. I bring to mind another passage in the history of yonr life. The day came when you set up yonr own household. The days passed along in quiet blessed ness. Yon twain sat at the table morn ing and night and talked over your plans for the future. The most insignifi cant affair in your life became tho sub ject of mutual consultation and adver tisement. You were so happy you felt you uever could be any happier. One day a dark cloud hovered over your dwelling, and it got darker and darker, but out of that cloud the shining mes senger of God descended to incarnate an immortal siWIt. Two littlo feet started on an etiviial journey, and you were to lead them, a gem to flash in heaven’s coronet, and you to polish it; eternal ages of light and darkness watching the starting out of a newly created creature. You rejoiced and you trembled at tho responsibility that in yonr possession an immortal treasure was placed. You prayed and rejoiced and wept and wondered; you were earnest in supplication that yon might lead it through liio into tbe kingdom of God. There was a tremor in your earnestness There was a don'blo inter est about that home. There was an ad ditional interest why you should stay there and be faithful, and when in a few’ months yonr house was filled with the music of the child’s laughter yon were struck through with the fact that you had a stupendous mission. Have you kept that vow? Have you neglected any of these duties? Is your home as much to you as it used to be? Have those anticipations been gratified ? God help yon in yonr solemn reminis cence, and let his mercy fall upon yonr soul if yonr kindness has been ill requited 1 God have mercy on the parent on the wrinkles of whose face is writ ten Hie story of a child’s sin I God have mercy on the mother who, in addition to her other pangs, has the pang of a child’s iniquity I Oh, there are many, many sad sounds in this sad world, hut the saddest sound that is ever heard is the breaking of a mother’s heart I Rwcet Memorlea. I find another point in your life his tory. You found one day you were in the wrong road. Yon conld not sleep at night. There was just oue word that seemed to sob through your banking houM, or throngh year offla*. mt your shop, or your bedroom, and that word was “eternity.” You said; "I’m not ready for it. Oh, God, have mercy 1” The Lord heard. Peace came to yonr heart. In the breath of the hill and in the waterfall’s dash you heard the voice of God’s love. The clouds and the trees hailed you with gladness. Yon came into the house of God. You remember how your hand trembled as you took up tbe cup of the communion. You re member the old minister who conse crated it, and yon remember the church officials who carried it through the aisle. You remember the old people who at the close of the service took your hand in theirs in congratulating sympathy, as much as to say, “Welcome home, you lost prodigal!” And, though those hands be all withered away, that com munion Sabbath is resurrected today. It is resurrected with all its prayers and songs and tears and sermons end transfiguration. Have yon kept those vows? Have you been a backslider? God help you. This day kneel at the foot of mercy and start again for heav en. Start now as you started then. I rouse your soul by that reminiscence. But I must not spend any more of my time in going over the advantages of your life. I just put them in one great sheaf, and I call them up in your memory with one loud harvest song, snch as the reapers sing. Praise the Lord, yc blood bought immortals ou earth! Praise tho Lord, ye crowned spirits of heaven! But some of you have not always had a smooth life. Some of you are now in the shadow. Others had their troubles years ago; you are a mere wreck of what you once were. I m%st gather up tho sorrows of your past life, but,how shall I do it? You say that is impossi ble, as you have had so many troubles and adversities. Then I will jnst take two—the first trouble and the last trou ble. As when yon are walking along the street, and there has been mnsic in the distance, yon unconsciously find yourselves keeping step to the music, s? when you started life your very life was a musical time beat. Tbe air was full of joy and hilarity; with the bright, clear oar yon made the boat skip. Yon went on, and life grew brighter, untii, after awhile, suddenly n voice from heaven said, “Halt!” and quick as tbe sunshine you halted, yon grew pale, yon confronted yonr first sorrow. You had no idea that the flush on your child’! cbetk was an unhealthy flush. Yon said it cannot be anything serious. Death in slippered feet walked round about the cradle. Yon did not hoar the tread, but after awhile the truth flash, ed on yon. Yon walked tho floor. Oh, if you conld, with yonr strong, stout hand, have wrenched that child from tho destroyer! You went to your room and you said; “God, save my child! God, save my child!” The world seem ed going out in darkness. Yon said, “I can’t hear it, I can’t bear it.” Yon felt ns if you conld not put the long lashes over the bright eyes, never to see them lignin sparkle. If you conld have taken that little one In yonr arms, and with it leaped the grave, how gladly you would have done it! If yon could let your property go, your houses go, your land and your storehouse go, how glad ly yon would have allowed them to de part if you could only have kept that one treasure! God'll roimolntlon. But one day there came up a chill blast that swept through the bedroom, and instantly all the lights went out, and there was darkness—thick, murky, impenetrable, shuddering darkness. But God did not leave yon there. Mercy spoke. As you took up tho bitter cup to put it to your lips God said, “Let it t>ass.”aud forthwith, as bv the hand — ■ s ■ V of aflgcis, another cup was put into your hands. It was tbe cup of God’s consolation. And as yon hav6floiMetimes lifted tho bead of a wounded soldier and poured wine iuto his lips, so God puts liis left arm under your head and with his right hand he pours into your lips the wine of his comfort and ids consolation, and yon looked at the emp ty cradle uud looked at your broken heart, and yon looked at the Lord’s chastisement, and you said, “Even so, Father, for so it seemeth good in thy sight. ” Ah, it was your first trouble. How did yon get over it? God comforted yon. You have been a better man ever since. Yon have been a better woman ever since. In the jar of the closing gate of the sepulcher you heard the clanging of tho opening gate of heaven, and you felt an irresistible drawing heavenward. You have been spiritually better ever since that night when the little one for the last time put its arms around your neck and said: “Good night, papal Good night, mammal Meet me in heaven I” But I must come to yonr latest sor row. What was it? Perhaps it was sickness. The child’s tread on the stair or the tick of the watcli on the stand disturbed you. Through tho long weary days yon counted the figures in the carpet or tho flowers in the wall paper Oh, the weariness of exhaustion! Oh, the burning pangs! Would God it were morning I Would God it were night! was your frequent cry. But you are better, or perhaps even well. Have you thanked God that today you can come out in tho fresh air; that yon are in your place to hear God’s name, and to sing God’s praise, and to Implore God’s help, and to ask God’s forgiveness? Bless the Lord who healeth all our dis eases and redeemeth our Uvea from de struction ! Tears Wiped Away. Perhaps your last sorrow was a finan cial embarrassment. I congratulate some of you on your lucrative profes sion or occupation, on ornate apparel, on a commodious residence—everything you put your hands on seems to turn to gold. But there are others of you who are like the ship on which Paul sailed where two seas met, and you are bro ken by the violence of the waves. By an unadvised indorsement, or by a con junction of unforeseen events, or by fire or storm, or a senseless panic, you have been Hung headlong, and where you once dispensed great charities now you have hard work to win your daily bread. Have you forgotten to thank God for your days of prosperity, and that through your trials some of you have made investments which will con tinue after tho last bank of this world has exploded, and tho silver and gold are molten in the finu of a burning world? Have you, amid all yunr losses and discouragements, forgot that there was bread on your table this morning, and that there shall be a shelter for your head from tbe storm, and there is air for j—r Ivaca, aad bU*d far year hsart, sad light tor your ays, a>d a glad and glorious and toriuiupbaat reli gion for your soul? Perhaps yonr last trouble was a be reavement. That heart which in child hood was yonr refuge, tho parental heart, and which has been a source of the quickest sympathy ever since, has suddenly become silent forever. And now sometimes, whenever in sudden annoyance and without deliberation you say, “I will go and tell mother,” tho thought flashes on you, “I have no mother." Or the father, with voice less tender, but with heart us loving, watch- fnl of all your ways, exultant over yonr success without saying much, although the old people do talk it over by them selves, his trembling hand on that staff which you now keep us u family relic, his memory embalmed in grateful hearts — is taken away forever. Or there was yonr companion in life, sharer of your joys and sorrows, taken, leaving the heart an old ruin, where tho ill winds blow over a wide wilderness of desolation, the sands of the desert driv ing across the place which uuce bloom ed like the garden of God. And Abra ham mourns for Sarah at the cave of Machpelah. As you were moving along yonr path in life, suddenly, right be fore you, was an open grave. People looked down, and they saw it was only T! few feet deep and a few feet wide, but to yon it was a cavern down which went all your hopes and all your expec tations. But cheer up in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, tho Comforter. He is not going to forsake you. Did the Lord take that child out of yonr arms? Why, ho is going to shelter it better than yon oocid. He is going to array it in a white robe and palm branch and have it all ready to greet you at your coming home. Blessed the broken heart that Jesns heals! Blessed tbe importu nate erv that Jesus comuassionates! blessed tbe weeping eye from wnich the soft hand of Jesus wipes away the tear! Glorious lOteruit>'. Some years ago I was sailing down tbe St. John river, which is the Rhine and tho Hudson commingled in cne scene of beauty and grandeur, and while I was on tba deck of the steamer a gen tleman pointed out to mo the places of Interest, and he said: All this is inter val land, and it is the richest land in all the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.” “What,” said I, “do yon mean by interval land Y’” “Well,” he said, “this laud is submerged for a part «if the year; spring freshets come down, and all these plains are over flowed with the water, and tho water leaves a rich deposit, and when the wa ters are gone the harvest springs up, and there is a richer harvest than 1 know of elsewhere.” And I instantly thonght, “It is not the heights of the chnrch, and it is not the heights of this world that are the scene of the greatest prosperity, but the soul over which the floods of sorrow have gone, tho soul over which the freshets of tribulation have torn their way, that yields the greatest fruits of righteousness and the largest harvest for time and the richest harvest for eternity. ” Bless God that yonr soul is interval land! There is one more point of absorbing reminiscence, and that is tho last hour of life, when wo have to look over all our past existence. What u moment that will he! I place Napoleon’s dying reiuinisceuco on St. Helena beside Mrs. Judsoo’adying reminiscence in tho har bor of Kt. Helena, tho same island, 30 years after Napoleon's dying reminis cence was one of delirium—“Tote d'ar- mee”—“Head of the army. ” Mrs. Jud- son’s dying reminiscence, as she came homo from her missionary toil and her life of self sacrifice for God, dying in tbe cabin of the ship in tho harbor of Ht. Helens, was. “I alwavs did love tbo ■■■ ‘""m ' u J Lor<l Jeaoa Christ." Aud then the hil- torinn says she fell into a sou ml sleep for an hour aud woke amid the songs of angels. I place the dying reminis cence of Augustus Caesar against the dying reminiscence of tho apostle Paul. Tho dying reminiscence of Augustus Cfrsnr was, addressing his attendants, “Have I played my part well on the stage of life?”and they answered in the affirmative, and he said, “Why, then, don’t yon applaud me?” The dying reminiscence of Paul tho apostle was, ”1 havo fought a good light, I have finished xriy course, I have kept the faith ; hence forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give mo in that day, and not to me only, but to all them that love his appearing.” Augus tus Cajsar died amid pomp and great surroundings, Paul uttered his dying reminiscence looking up through tho wall of a dungeon. God grant that onr dying pillow may be tho closing of a useful life and the opening of a glori ous eternity. I.imIIokv’s Victory Over Slmfter. General William Ludlow, who is achieving high fame as the first Ameri can governor of Havana, owes his pres ent command to a personal victory he gained over General Hhafter in the first days of tho Santiago campaign. He had long ago attained a lino rec ord us a topographical engineer, aud was oue of the first regular army officers to seek service in Cuba. With a scarce ly dried commission of brigadier general of volunteers in his pocket bo hastened to General Shafter. Seeing that General Shafter already had a competent engineer on his staff, General Ludlow applied for command of a brigade on the fighting line, and mentioned the First brigade of the Sec ond division. Genoral Hlmfter looked up in surprise aud exclaimed: “I thought you were an engineer!” “So I am,” replied General Ludlow, “also an artillerist, or cavalry officer, or an infantry officer, at tbo will of my superiors, like every trained soldier.” General Shafter begun parleying', aud General Ludlow, in the mildest manner possible, Insisted, morning after morn ing, until he received it. After the ter rible buttle of El Cauey he was promot ed to be a major general.—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. W.-U-miitH (AU Uitttf. Wanted Hiley’s Autouruph. The Philadelphia Record says: “The strength of the fad for autographs was strikingly shown yesterday, when scores of clerks and customers besieged James Whitcomb Riley while ho was modestly making some book purchases in a large department store. “As soon as the Hoosier poet was sighted near the latest book counter the news quickly went tho rounds of the clerks, and within a half hour Mr. Ri ley had obligingly signed his name to 100 cards. Customers who were at the book stalls at tho time or were attracted thither also took advantage of the op portunity nod M*Tir«d tha atguAturs oi the poet. “To one of tbe clerks Mr. Riley said that on tho average ho receivea 300 let ters a day asking for his autograph and many more personal requests while on his tours.

Queen Wilhelmina of tho Nether lands dislikes to lie called “the littlo queen.” She thinks the phrase reflects upon her kingdom, as sho is .1 feet 1^ inches in height. The queen of Spain is only 5 feet 5 2-5 inches; the empress of Russia, 5 feet inches; the em press of Germany and Queen Victoria still smaller. Aside from her height, the young Dutch queen is also of tho best build. Her 21 ^ inch waist meas ure and 42 inch bust give an admirable proportion. Her powers of endurance were well tested on coronation day, when for six long hours she wore the ceremonial inantlo of red velvet trim med with ermine, a weight of not less than 30 pounds, and shjwed no marked lymptom of fatigue.

Big laundries are cnuimonplnce Miougli, but a laundry which can soh- ataiitiate Its claim to being the largjst in the world, which uses n ton of soap a day and yet washes nouo of the pub lic’s linen, would stem to be an anom aly. Such a laundry Is tho one at Pullman, Ills., maintained by the Pull man Palace Car company for tho wash ing aud ironing of tho thourands of sheets, pillowcases and similar fur nishings in daily use ou Its sleeping cars throughout the country. Tho building is a handsome brick and stone structure of two stories. To this building comes every morn ing by express soiled linen in carload lots. These are delivered at thoeast end of tho building in square canvas bugs of uniform size, and each is carefully labeled and numbered. Tho work of packing and billing the contents of these bags has been done at six differ ent depots in tlio city, where re accu rate record of each day’s receipts and disbursements is kept. When tbo bags are opened at Pullman tho pi ces are recounted and piled in a promiscuous heap upon tlio floor No effort is made to return to a car tho exact supplies re ceived from it, save In number and kinds. A piece of linen on a Pullman car Is never used a second time until it has been returned from tho laundry Thus the week’s occupant of n sleeping cur gets fresh sheets and pillowslips each night. Twelve Immense brass hydraulic washers await the piles which have found temporary restiuy place upon tho laundry floor. Those piles aro wheeled to the washers in roller baskets aud corfsiguod to tholr caro. Theso washers uro 7 foot long and 3 foet in diameter, and consist of large cylindrical shaped tubs standing ou their sides, with open ings at tho tops. Inside of each tub Is a perforated brass cylinder. It Is through an opening in these cylinders the linen is placed, the shell holding 200 sheets aud a proportionate amount of smaller articles. After tho admission of hot wa ter and a certain amount of soap the cylinders oro sot to revolving aud re versing automatically Ihpes curry cold and hot water to each washer uud the hot water is always kept at 212 degrees. In twenty minutes tlio washing is com- piotod and tho rinsing, first In hot and afterward in cold water, and the addi tion of the requisite amount of bluing conclude tho process. Each machine can wash 400 sheets pci hour, and 45,- 000 pieces of linen u day is tho average Amount handled. Thm “vrrtnginf'’ of tb* Him la per formed by ton hydraulic as tractors. Tho«o aro metallic otroular tuba about 8 feet In diameter amt 15 Inches deep. Within each Is a perforated copper basket Into which the linen Is packed These baskets are circular in shape and revolve 1,500 times a minute for 10 or 15 minutes, throwing off the water by centrifugal force until the contents nra nearly dry. When sufficiently dried the pieces, which are packed in almost solid masses, are taken out bymouaud placed in machines coiled tumblers. These machines are merely revolving wooden cylinders, with interior urrango- meuts for shaking out tho mass cou- eigued to them. In a few moments the pieces aro all separated. Girls then empty the tumblers aud smooth out tlio pieces preparatory to consigning them to tho mangles or ironing ma chines. There nro eight of tho largest size du plex mangles for ear linen Each con sists of a hollow metallic cylinder 100 inches long and 24 inches in diameter. There aro also flvo lelt covered rollers coming in contact with each cylinder for the purpose of feeding tho pieces smoothly aud absorbing tho remaining moisture. After passing through these machines, tho ironing portions of which aro kept at 400 degrees by means of steam, tho linen emerges beautifully ironed and finished ou both sides. Girls operate tho machines. They also fold, sort and tie tho various articles prepar atory to tho counting aud packing. Tho packing Is done in bundles con sisting of ten sheets or 25 pillowslips, or an approximate number of napkins, towels and tho liko. These bundles urn placed in canvas boxes. Each box holds 200 sheets or 1,000 of tho smaller pieces. Tho boxes nro then sealed and loaded into cars at tho west end of the build ing. These cars go to tho city by express and the goods aro delivered to tho vari ous stations by express as they may bo required. Tho number of omployeos needed to carry on tho work upon tho first fioor of tbo laundry nro 100 woven uud one- fifth of that number of men. Tho lutter aro used in tho heavier operations, tho girls, white cupped and white aproned, attending to tho lighter duties of the place. Tho second floor is devoted to starch work, such as coats and caps of waiters on tho dining cars. Hero ironing uud polishing machines of lesser sort are found. About 50 operatives uro hero en gaged. Tho soap question is an all important ono at the Pallmau laundry. Fifteen hundred gallons of soft or diluted soup aro used daily. It is all made on tho promises and amounts to n ton gross weight of tho washing compound. These figures to ho appreciated should bo estimated from tho amounts used for washing purposes In tho ordinary house hold; but few people, oven iu Pullman, aro aware of tho maguitado of the com pany's laundry.
