tiro womd not bnrn or
not bako or somethin? was tnr
black that og^ht to have been only
turned brown, or Martha eculdcd her
self, and. forgottin? all the proprieties
of the occasion, with besweated brow
she rut lied out of the kitchen into the
parlor, perhaps with tongs in one hand
and pitcher in the other, and rho cried
out; “Lord, dost thou not care that
my sister has left mo to serve alone?
Bid h< r therefore that she help me. ”
Christ scolded not a word. If it vvero
scolding, I would rather have him scold
mo than anybody else bless me. There
was nothing acerb in the Baviour’s re
ply. ITo knew that Martha had been
working herself almost to death to get
him something to eat, and he appre
ciated her kindness, and ho practically
said: “My dear woman, do not worry.
Let the dinner go. Sit down here on
this couch beside your younger sister,
Mary. Lot us talk about something
clsa Martha. Martha, thou art careful
and troubled about many things, but
one thing is needful. ”
As Martha throws open the door I
look in today, and I see a great many
household anxieties, perplexities, fa
tigues and trials, and about them I am
going to speak if the Lord of Mary and
Martha and Lazarus will help mo by
his grace.
Ilouxchold Perplexities end Trials.
As 1 look into that door, in the first
place, I see the trial of nonappreeiatjou
That was what made Martha so vexed
at Mary. Mary, the younger sister, had
no proper estimate of the elder sister’s
fatigue. Just as now men having an
noyances of store and factory and shop,
or at tho fltock Exchange, come home at
night and hear of some household an
noyance, and* they say; “Oh, that’s
nothing! You ought to be in n factory
a day and have 10 pr 15 or 20 or 100
subordinates. Then yon would know
something about annoyance and trou
ble. ” Oh, man, let mo tell you that a
wifo and a mother has to conduct at
the same time a university, n clothing
establishment, a restaurant,a laundry,
a library, and has to bo health officer,
nolieo and president pf the whole realm I
che has to do a thousand things, and
to do them well, in order to make
things go smoothly, and that ie what
puts the awful tax on a woman’s nerves
and a woman’s brain. I know there are
exceptions to tho rule. Sometimes you
will find a woman who can sit in the
armchair of tho library fill day without
any anxiety, or tarry on tho belated
pillow, and all tho cares of tho house
hold ore thrown upon servants who
have largo wages and great experience;
but that is tho exception. I speak of
tho great masses of housekeepers, to
whom life is a straggle, and Vho 80
years of ago look as though they were
40. The fallen at Thalons and Auster-
litz and Gettysburg and Waterloo are
a small number in compa’dison with
those who have gone down under the
Armageddon of the kitchen. Go out to
the country and look over tho epitaphs
on tho tombstones. They are all beauti
ful and poetic, but. if the tombstones
could tell the truth thousands of them
would say, “Here lies a Wfltnan who
was killed by too much mending aud
sewing and baking and scouring and
scrubbing, ’’ and the weapon with which
dally so
cigars and dines
He will be very apt to enj
’-economy at homo. That is what"
thousands of women—tho attempt to
make §5 do tho work of §7. It is amaz
ing how some men dole out money to
the household. If you have not got the
money, say eo. If you have, be cheer
ful in tho expenditure. Your wifo will
be reasonable. “How long does the
honeymoon last?’’ said a young woman
about to enter tho married state to her
mother. Tho mother answered, “Tho
honeymoon lusts until you ask your
husband for money.” “How much do
you want?” “A dollar.” “A dollar 1
Can’t you get along with 50 cents?
You are always wanting n dollar."
This 30 years’ war against high prices,
this everlasting attempt to bring tho
outgo within the income, has exhausted
multitudes of housekeepers. Let mo say
to such, it is a part of the divine dis
cipline. If it were best for you, all- you
would have to do would bo just to open
the front windows and tho ravens
would fly in with food, and after you
bad baked 50 times from tho barrel in
the pantry, like tho barrel of Zorcphath,
tho barrel would be full, and the chil
dren’s shoes would last ns long as tho
shoes of tho Israelites in tho wilderness
—40 years.
Will Make the Contrunt Brighter.
Oh, my friends, all these trials and
fatigues of home life are to prepare you
for heaven, for they will make that tho
brighter in tho contrast I A dying sol
dier was asked by a friend, “Have you
any message to send to your father?”
“Yes,” said ho; “toll him I have gone
home.” "Well, ” said the friend, “have
y<JU any message to send to your wife?”
“Yes; tell her I have gopo home.”
“Yon have other friends. Would you
like to send a message to them?” “Yes;
give them tho sumo message. They
will understand it. Tell them I have
gone home.” And that heavenly homo
will compensate, will fully atone, for all
the hardships and the trials and the an
noyances and the vexations of the earth
ly homo. In that laud they never hun
ger, and consequently there will bo no
nuisance of catering for appetite. In
that land of the white robes they have
no mending to do, and the air of that
hilly country makes them all well. No
rent to pay there. Every man owns his
©wo hptise, opd a Bumsion at that It
will not be so groat a change to step
into the chariot of the skies if on earth
you rode. It will not be so great a
change if on earth you had all luxuries
and satisfactions. It will not bo so
great a change for you to sit down on
the banks of the river of life if on earth
you had a country seat.
But, oh, tho joy for tho weary feet
when they step into the celestial equi
page, and, oh, the joy of those to whom
homo was o martyrdom on earth when
they go iutp that f home where they will
never havo to do 'anything they do not
want to do! What a change from tho
time the put down the rolling pin to
tho tiipe she tpok up the ecepteyl If
Chatsworth Bark and tho Vanderbilt
mansion Were lifted into tho celestial
city, they would be looked at as unin
habitable rookeries, awl Lazarus him-
rest
they prt? _ _
by the books they introduce, by TT-oTm
fluonco they l«ing around tho home,
they are helping to decide the physical,
the intellectual, tho moral, the eternal
welfare of tho human race. Oh, the re
sponsibility !
That woman sits in tho house of God
today perhaps entirely unappreciated.
She is tho banker of her home, the pres
ident, tho cashier, tho teller, tho dis
count clerk, and ever and anon there is
a panic. God knows the anxieties and
the cares, and he knows that this is
not a useless sermon, but that there are
multitudes of hearts waiting for tho
distillation of tho divine mercy and
solace in their hour of trials and their
home duties and their own fatigues. The
world hears nothing about them. They
never speak about them. Yon could not
with tho agonies of an inquisition bring
the truth out of them. They keep it
still. They say nothing. They endure
and will until God and the judgment
right their wrongs. Oh, but says some
sister, “Aro you not trying to show
that all a woman’s life at homo is one
of self sacrifice?” Yos, my sister, and
that is tho only kind of life worth liv
ing. That has been the life of Florence
Nightingale; that was the lit’o of Ed
ward Puyson; that was .the life of tho
Lord Jesus Christ; that is the life of
every man or woman that is happy —a
life of self sacrifice. Those people living
for themselves—are they happy? Find
me one. I will give you all the nations
of tho earth to find mo one. Not happy
—no, not happy.
Self !>nerI!ieo Brlnaa llapplnesa.
It is tho self sacrificing people that
aro happy, for God pays so largely, so
gloriously, so magnificently, in tho
deep and eternal satisfactions of tho
soul. Self sacrifice! Wo all admire it
in othevs. How little wo exercise of it I
How much would we endure? How
much would we risk for others? A very
rough schoolmaster had a poor lad that
had offended tho laws of the school,
and he ordered him to come up.
“Now,” ho said, “you take off your
coat instantly and receive this whip. *'
Tho boy declined, and more vehement
ly tho teacher said; “I tell you, now,
take off your coat. Take it off instant
ly. ” Tho boy again declined. It was
not because he was afraid of tho lash;
he was used to that in his cruel home.
But it was for shame. He had no under*-
garment, and when at last ho removed
uis coat there went up a sob of emotion
all through the school as they saw why
he did not wish to remove his coat, and
as they saw the shoulder blades almost
cutting through the skin. As tho school-
pianler lifted his whip to sirike a rose
ate, healthy l)oy leaped up and said;
“Stop, schoolmaster; whip me. He is
only a p<x>r chap; ho can’t stand it.
Whip me-” “Oh,” said the teacher,
“it’s going to be a very severe scourg
ing! But if you want to take tho posi-
" substitute, you can doit.”
: “I don't care; whip me.
