PRACTICAL CHARITY.
REV. DR. TALMAGE EXTOLS BENEVO
LENCE OF DORCAS.
Contrasts Her WuiU With I’resent
!>«>■ Methods—Woman God’s Hand
maiden Nn the Alleviation of Mis
ery—A Keeonl of Self lleuial.
Warhixoton, July 15.—Dr. Talmago,
who Is still traveling In northern Eu
rope, has forwarded the following re
port of a serfnon In which he utters
helpful words to all who are engaged
In alleviating human distresses and
shows how such work will be crowned
at the last; text, Acts ix, 20, “And all
the widows stood by Idm weeping and
showing him the coats and garments
which Dorcas made while e was
with them.”
Joppa Is a most absorbing '7 of
the orient. Into her harbor once float
ed the rafts of Lebanon cedar from
which the temples of Jerusalem wero
bullded, Solomon’s oxen drawing tho
logs through the town. Here Napo
leon had 500 prisoners mnssaenjd. One
of the most magnificent charities of
the centuries was started in this sea
port by Dorcas, a woman with her nee
dle embroidering her name ineffacea-
bly into the beneficence of the world.
1 see her sitting in yonder home. In
the doorway and around about the
building and In the room where she
sits are the pale faces of the poor. She
listens to their plaint, she pities their
woe, she makes garments for them, she
adjusts the manufactured articles to
suit the bent form of this invalid wom
an and to the cripple that comes crawl
ing on his hands and knees. She gives
a coat to this one; she glvcsk sandals to
that one. With the gifts she mingles
prayers and tears and Christian en
couragement. Then she goes out to be
greeted on the street corners by those
whom she has blessed, and all through
the street the cry Is heard, “Dorcas is
coming!” The sick look up gratefully
In her face as she puts her hand on tho
burning brow, and the lost and the
abandoned start up with hope as they
hear her gentle voice, as though an an
gel had addressed them, and as she
goes out the lane eyes half put out
with sin think they see a halo of light
about her brow and a trail of glory In
her pathway. That night a half paid
shipwright climbs the hill and reaches
home and secs his little boy well clad
and says. “Where did these clothes
come from?” And they tell him, “Dor
cas lias been here." In another place a
woman is trimming a lamp; Dorcas
bought the oil. In another place a
family that had not been at table for
many a week ffre gathered now, for
Dorcas has brought bread.
Dorcaa the Dlaclple.
But there Is u sudden pause In that
woman’s ministry. They say: “Where
is Dorcas? Why, we haven’t seen her
for many a day. Where Is Dorcas?”
And one of these poor people goes up
and knocks at the door and finds the
mystery solved. All through tho
haunts of wretchedness the news
comes. “Dorcas Is sick!” No bulletin
flashing from the palace gate telling
the stages of a king’s disease Is more
anxiously waited for than the news
from tills benefactress. Alas, for Jop
pa there Is walling, walling! That
voice which has uttered so many cheer
ful words is hushed; that hand which
has made so many garments for the
poor Is cold and still; the star which
had poured light Into the midnight of
wretchedness is dimmed by the blind
ing mists that go up from tho river of
death. In every forsaken place In that
town, wherever there Is a sick child
and no balm, wherever there is hunger
and no bread, wherever there Is guilt
and no commiseration, wherever there
Is a broken heart and no comfort, there
arc despairing looks and streaming
eyes and frantic gesticulations as they
cry, "Dorcas is dead!”
They send for the apostle Peter, who
happens to be In the suburbs of the
place, stopping with a tanner of tho
name of Simon. Peter urges hls way
through the crowd around Jl^e door and
stands in the presence of tin’ dead.
Wlmt demonstration of grief all about
him! Here stand some of the poor
people, who show the garments which
this poor woman had made for them.
Their gtlef cannot be appeased. Tho
apostle Peter wants to perform a mira
cle. He will not do it amid the excited
crowd, so he orders that the whole
room be cleared. The njiostle stands
now with the dead. Oh, It Is a serious
moment, you know, when you are alone
with a lifeless body! The apostle gets
down on ids knees and prays, and then
he comes to the lifeless form of tills
one all ready for the sepulcher, and in
the str*'* ’th of him who Is the resur
rection f cries, “Tabitha, arise!”
There is a stir In the fountains oi life;
the heart flutters; the nerves thrill; the
cheek flushes; the eye open^; she sits
up!
We see in this subject Dorcas the
disciple, Dorcas the benefactress, Dor
cas the lamented, Dorcas the^fVsur-
reeled.
Life's Greatest Dutr,
If I had not seen that word disciple
in my text, I would have known this
woman was a Christian. Buch music
ns that never came from a heart which
is not chorded uud strung by divine
grace. Before I show you the needle
work of this woman I want to show
you her regenerated heart, the source
of a pure life and of all Christian char
ities. I wish that the wives and moth
ers and daughters and sisters of all the
earth would Imitate Dorcas in her «lis-
clpleship. Before you cross the thresh
old of the hospital, before you enter
upon the temptations and trials of to
morrow, I charge you In the name of
Hod and by the turmoil and tumult of
the Judgment day, O woman, that you
attend to th« first, last and greatest
duty of your life—the seeking for God
and being at peace with him! Wfte#
the trumpet shall sound, there will b«
an uproar and a wreck of mountain
aud continent, and no human arm cun
help you. Amid the rising of the dead
and amid tUlf boiling of yonder sea and
amid the live, leaping thunders of the
flying heavens calm and placid will be
every woman'* he^rf who hath put her
trust In Christ—calm notwithstanding
all the tumult, us though the tire iu
the heavens were only the glidings of
an autumnal sunset, as though the pea!
pf the trumpet were only the harmony
of su orchestra, as though the awful
voices of fh* eh;- were but a group of
friends bursting through U gateway at
eveutlmo with laughter and shouting,
“Dorcas the disciple!” Would God
|hnt every Mary and every Martha
would this day sit down at the feet of
Jesus!
Further, we see Dorcas, the benefac
tress. History has told tlie story of
the crown; epic poet Las sung of the
sword; the pastoral poet, with hls
verses full of the redolence of clover
tops and a-rustle with the silk of the
corn, has sung the praises of the plow.
I tell you the praises of the needle.
From the flg leaf robe prepared In the
garden of Eden to the last stitch taken
ou the garment for tlie poor the needle
has wrought wonders of kindness, gen
erosity and benefaction. It adorned
the girdle of the high priest, It fash
ioned the curtains in the ancient tab-
ernacJc, It cushioned the chariots of
King Solomon, it provided the robes of
Queen Elizabeth, and in high places
and in low places, by the fire of the pi
oneer’s back log and under the flash
of the chandelier—everywhere—It has
clothed nakedness, It has preached the
gospel, it has overcome hosts of penu
ry and want with the warcry of
“Stitch, stitch, stitch!” The opera
tives have found a livelihood by it, and
through it the mansions of the em
ployer are constructed.
The Needle’* Triamyhn.
Amid the greatest triumphs in all
ages and lands I set down the con
quests ot the needle. 1 admit its
crimes; 1 admit Its cruelties. It has
had more martyrs than the fire; It has
punctured the eye; It has pierced the
side; It has struck weakness Into the
lungs; It has sent madness Into the
brain; it lias filled the potter’s field; It
has pitched whole armies of the suffer
ing Into crime and wretchedness and
woe. But now that I am talking of
Dorcas and her ministries to the poor
I shall speak only of the charities of
the needle. This woman was a repre
sentative of all those who make gar
ments for the destitute, who knit socks
for the barefooted, who prepare band
ages for the lacerated, who fix up box
es of clothing for missionaries, who go
into the asylums of the suffering and
destitute bearing that gospel which Is
sight for the blind and hearing for the
deaf and which makes the lame man
leap like a hart and brings the dead to
life, immortal health bolhdtng In their
pulses.
Wlmt a contrast between the prac
tise! benevolence of this woman and a
great deal of the charity of this dayl
This woman did not sj>end her time
Idly planning how the poor of tho city
of Joppa were to be relieved. £9»e
took her needle and relieved *tlf£m.
She was not like tliose persons who
sympathize with Imaginary sorrows
and go out In the street and laugh at
the boy who has upset his basket of
cold victuals or like that charity which
makes a rousing speech on the benevo
lent platform and goes out to kick the
Ix'ggar from the step, crying, “Hush
your miserable howling!” Sufferers of
the world \^uit not so much theory as
practice; not so much tears ns dollars;
not so gnuch kind wishes as loaves of
bread; not so much smiles ns shoes;
not so much “God blest yous!” as Jack
ets and frocks. I will jnit one earnest
Christian man, hardworking, against
5,000 mere theorists on the subject of
charity. There are a ?&Mt many who
have line ideas about church architec
ture who never lu their lives helped to
build a church. There are men who
can give you the history of Buddhism
and Mohammedanism who never sent
a farthing for evangelization. There
are women who talk beautifully about
the suffering of the world who never
had the courage, like Dorcas, to taka
the needle and assault It.
Female Benevolence^.
I am glad that there Is not a page of
the world's history which Is not a rec
ord of female benevolence^MJod says
to all lands and people, “Come, now,
and hear the widow’s mite rattle down
Into tho poor box.” The Princess of
Conti sold nil her Jewels that she might
lK*lp tlis famine stricken. Queen
Blanche, the wife of Louis VIII of
France, hearing that there were some
persons unjustly incarcerated In the
prisons, went out amid the rabble and
took a stick and struck the door as •
signal that they might all strike It, and
down went the prison doer, and out
came the prisoners. Queen Maud, the
wife of Henry I, went down amid the
poor and washed their sores and ad
ministered to them cordials. Mrs. lilt-
son, at Matagorda, appeared on the
battlefield while the missiles of death
were flying around and cared for the
wounded. Is there a man or woman
who has ever heard of the civil war lo
America w!h> lias not heard of the wo
men of the sanitary and Christian
commissions or the fact that before
the smoke had gone up from Gettys
burg and South Mountain the women
of the north met tlie wonjen of the
soutli on the battlefield, forgetting all
their animosities while they bound up
the wounded and closed the eyes of
the slain ? Dorcas the benefactress,
I come now to speak of Dorcas the
lamented. When death struck down
that good woman, oh, Lk?& much sor
row there was lu the town of Joppa!
1 suppose there were women there with
larger fortunes, women perhaps with
handsomer faces, but there was no
grief at their departure like this at
the death of Dorcas. There were not
more turmoil and upturning In the
Mediterranean sea dashing against the
wharfs at that seaport than there
were surglngs to and fro of grief be
cause Dorcas) was dead. There are a
great many who go out of life and pro
unmissed. Th**re may be a wry large
funeral, there may be a great many
carriages and a plumed hearse, there
may be high sounding culogiurm, the
bell may toll at the cemetery gate,
there may be 4 very tl.ie marble fthuft
reared over the resting place, but the
whole tiling may be a falsehood and
a sham.
Notltina LonL
The church of God lias lost nothing;
the world lias lost nothing. It is only
a nuisance abated. It is only a grum
bler ceasing Jo find fault. It is ouly
au Idler stopped yawning- It is oyiy
a dissipated fashionable parted from
his wine cellar, while ou the other
hand no useful Christian leaves this
world without being missed. The
church of God cries out, like the
prophet, “Howl, Ur tree, for the cedar
lias fallen!” Widowhood comes and
idiowN the sqnticRts which the depart
ed had made. Orphans are lilted up
to look Into tlie calm face of the sleep
ing benefactress. Reclaimed vagrancy
comes and kisses the cold brow of her
who charmed It away from sin, and
all through the streets of Joppa there
mnurplug-mourning because Dorcas
Is dead- Whop Jost-pulup of Franco
was carried out to her grave, Jhutf
irero a gredt many men and women ot
pomp and pride and position that went
out after her. But I uni most affected
by tlie story of history that ou that
day there were 10.000 of the poor of
France who followed her eotlin. weep
ing and walling until tlie air rang
again, because when they lost Joseph
ine they lost their last earthly friend.
Oh, who would not rather have such
obsequies than all the tears that were
ever poured in the lachrymals that
have been exhumed from ancient
cities! There may be no mass for the
dead, there may lie no costly sarcopha
gus, there may he no elaborate mauso
leum, but iu the damp cellars of the
city and through the lonely lints of the
mountain glen there will be mourning,
mourning, mourning, because Dorcas
Is dead. “Blessed are the dead who
die In the Lord. They rest from their
labors, and their works do follow
them.”
- I speak to you of Dorcas the resur
rected. The apostle came to where she
was and said, "Arise, and she sat up!”
In what a short compass the great
writer put that—“She sat up!” Oh,
what a time there have been around
that town when the apostle brought
her out amoug her old friends! How
tlie tears of Joy must have started!
What clapping of hands there must
have been! What singing! What laugh
ter! Sound it all through that lane!
Shout It down that dark alley! Let all
Joppa hear it! Dorcas is resurrected!
Good Never Die*.
You and I have sum the same thing
many a time; not a dead body resusci
tated, but tlie deceased coming up
a^aiu after death bi the good accom
plished. If a man labors up to 50
years of age, serving God, and then
dies, we are apt to think that bis earth
ly work is done. No. His Influence
on earth will continue till the world
ceases. Services rendered for Christ
never stop. A Christian woman toils
for the upbuilding of a church t)irou#h
many anxieties, through many self de
nials, with prayers and tears, and then
she dies. It Is 15 years since she went
away. Now the Spirit of God de
scends upou that church; hundreds of
souls stand up and confess the faith of
Christ. Has that Christian woman
who went away 15 years ago nothing
to do with these things? I see the
flowering out of her noble heart I
hear the echo of her footsteps in all
the songs over sins forgiven, lu all the
prosperity of the church. The good
that seemed to be burled lias come up
again. Dorcas is ressurected!
After awhile all these womanly
friends of Christ will put down their
needle forever. After making gar
ments for others some one will make
a garment fur them; the last robe we
ever wear—the robe for the grave.
You will have heard the last cry of
pain. You will have witnessed the last
orphanage. You will have come in
worn out from your last round of
mercy. 1 do uot know where you will
sleep nor what your epitaph will be,
but there will be a lamp burning at
that tomb -and an angel of God guard
ing it, and through all the long night
no rude foot will disturb the dust.
Sleep ou, sleep on! Soft bed, pleasant
shadows, undisturbed repose! Sleep on!
Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep
From which non* ever wake to weepl
lie ward Ha* Cause.
Then one day thare will be a sky
rending and 4 whirl of wheels and the
flush of a pageant, armies marching,
chains chalking, banners waving, thun
ders booming, and that Christian wo
man will arise from tlie dust, and she
will be suddenly surrounded - surround
ed by the wanderers of the street
whom she reclaimed, surrounded by
the wounded souls to whom she had
administered! Daughter of God, so
strangely surrounded, what means
this? It means that reward has come;
that the victory is won; that the crown
is ready; that the banquet is spread.
Shout It through all the crumbling
earth! Sing it through all the flying
heavens! Dorcas is resurrected!
In 1S55, when some of the soldiers
came back from the Crimean war to
London, the queen of England distrib
uted among them beautiful medals,
called Crimean medals. Galleries were
erected for the two houses of parlia
ment and the royal family to sR in.
There was a great audience to witness
the distribution of the medals. A colo
nel who had lost both feet In the bat
tle of Iiik'.rmanu was pulled In on a
wheel chair; others came lu limping on
their crutches. Then the queen of
England arose before them in the
name of her government and uttered
words of commendation to the officers
and men and distributed those meduL,
Inscribed with the four great battle
fields— Alma, Balaklava. lukermaim
Bud Sevastopol. As the queen gave
these to the wounded men and the
wounded officers the bauds of musk!
struck m> tlie national air, and the peo
ple, with streaming eyes, Joined iu the
song:
God Rave our crarloua queen!
Lonx live our noble queen!
God save tlie queclf!
And then they shouted “Huzza! Huz-
*a!” Oil, it was a proud day for those
returned warriors! But a brighter, bet
ter and gladder day will come when
Christ shall gather those who have
tolled In his service- good soldiers of
Jesus Christ. He shall rise before
them, and lu the presence of all tiie
glorified of heaven he will nay, "Well
done, good and faithful servant!” And
then ho will distribute the medals of
eternal victory, not Inscribed with
works of righteousness which we have
done, but with those foiy great battle
fields, dear to earth and dear to heav
en—Bethlehem, Nazareth, Gcthscmuue
and Calvary!
