Washington, Feb. 8. — There Is ft
great solacs in this discourse of Dr.
Talmage for those whose lives have
many anxieties; text, Isaiah ill, 10,
“Say ye to the righteous that it shall be
well with him.”
Here is a promise for people who are
all right, but who will come and get It?
How many, or rather, how few people
do you know who are all right? If it
were asked of any assembly that those
who were sinless should rise up, none
would rise except Imbeciles and reli
gious cranks. An accident happened
near GO centuries ago that started the
human race In the wrong way, and we
have uot got over it. We know a great
many splendid men and splendid W’om-
en, but they will tell you that they
have not always done the right thing
or thought the rig^it thought. If it
were any of your business, they could
give you an inventory of frailties and
mistakes and infelicities that would be
astonishing. Here, then, you say, is a
Bible promise that goes a-begging,
“Say ye to the righteous that it shall
be well with him.”
It Is my delightful work today to
show you that all the sons and daugh
ters of Adam and Eve may appropriate
the benediction of my text If they will

first do the right thing. Over here In
the next street was u man who lu great
misfortunes lost all he had and was
positively beggared, but a letter comes
from some European city, where the
land records are kept, announcing to
him that a great fortune Is his. Now
he is ns opulent as lie was pauperized.
He doffs his rags and puts on respect
able attire and moves into a home ap
propriate for a man of vast estate.
His worldly circumstances were all
wrong last year; they are all right this
year. On the next street is a man
who was from perfect health prostrat
ed, and he seemed to be sick unto
death, but a skillful physician took
correct diagnosis of his disease and by
prompt and vigorous treatment rester-
eu him to his former vigor. As to bis
health he was all wrong before. Now
he Is all right In these two ways I
illustrate my theme.
By sin we have all been morally bank
rupted. Christ the Lord from his infi
nite riches pays our debts and empara-
dises us in his mercy. From his rich
est wardrobe he put on us the clean
robe of his righteousness and gives us
a palace In the heavens when we are
ready to go up and take It Now, as
to our spiritual estate we are all right.
We were morally diseased, but Christ
the physician, by a bath In the foun
tain of bis grace, cures us.
Dankruptcy of 81a.
Now, as to our spiritual health we
are all right That is the way we come
to the rigbteousuess spoken of lu the
text. It Is a contributed righteousness,
a made over righteousness, an Imputed
righteousness. The moment you get
into right relations with Christ the
Lord that moment you can appreciate
the magnificent comfort of the text,
and I defy you m all this great
book, from the first verse of the
first chapter of Genesis to the last
verse of the last chapter of Revela
tion. to find me a passage with higher
and deeper and broader and longer
comfort than that of the text, which la
as deep as the Atlantic ocean half way
between the continents and high as the
sun when the clock Is striking 12 at
noon. But I shall be swamped with
the oceaulc tides of this subject unless
(he Lord help me to keep a foothold.
“Say ye to the righteous that It shall
bn well with him.”
Bear in mind that but few people can
stand worldly success. Water Is a good
thing, but too much of It will drown.
Fire Is a good thing, but too much of it
will destroy. Light Is a good thing,
but too much of It dazzles and blinds.
Success Is a good thing, but too much
of It has overwhelmed many for this
world and the next. If It were best
for us, we would all be millionaires,
live In palaces like the Alhambra and
be os personally attractive as Cleopa
tra appeared to Antony. But. the most
of folks could not endure such super
abundance, and It Is absolutely neces
sary In order to keep them right that
WYJ n.en out of 1,000 should find life a
struggle. It keeps them out of mis
chief. After Adam was ejected from
the premises where by ten minutes of
employment a day he could keep tbs
garden and dress It the best thing that
eon Id happen to him was compulsion
to work and fight. The ground that
bloomed with spontaneous flowers and
rustled with harvests that owed noth
ing to plow or hoe became hostile, and
bramble was subutituted for rose, and
the panther growled where before he
fawned, and horn and fang and hoof
became Ixdllgerent. That Edenlc eject
ment shows us as nothing else ever
could that Idleness or only a few min
utes of employment a day are doom
ami overthrow. Tut It down among
your blessings Instead of your mlsfor-
tuues that you have to work hard wlt4
brain or hand or foot or all three of
them.
('linns;*; Bitter Into Street.
How many men do you know worth
$250,000 who are devout and consecrat
ed and humble and generous and em
ploying their means for the world’s re
demption? You could count them up
on the fingers of your two hands even
If by accident or war you had lost one
or two of the fingers. As to the realm
of personal attractiveness, how many
women radiant of countenance and
graceful of form do you know who are
unaffected and natural of manner and
deeply pious before God, using their
beauty for the betterment of the world
and not for selfish purposes? I only
take the risk of asking the question
and leave to you the risk of answering
It. These things 1 say to show you
that In order to have the promise of
the text fulfilled lu your case It Is not
necessary you have phenomenal world
ly success.
Notice, also, that God gives the right
eous the power to extract good out of
evil and by a divine chemistry to
change the bitter Into the sweet and
the harmful into the beneficial. The
promise that It shall be well with you
does not Imply that yon are to be free
from trouble. There Is no escape from
that. We all have family relations,
and some of them will be making exit
from this world, so that bereavement
is the universal Inheritance. So also
Is financial loss. The difference be-
tweei the prospered and those not
prospered Is the difference In the
amount they can afford to lose. The
more wealth a man has the more he
can lose, but one man can afford to
lose a million dollars where another
man cannot afford to lose one dollar.
On larger or smaller scale all suffer
financial loss. Amid the rapidity of
the revolutions of the wheel of nation
al and International finance monetary
perplexity Is as common as day or
night.
So also misinterpretation and slan
der come to all who live active lives.
Our actions, thoroughly honest and
aboveboard, may come under suspi
cion. Every courtroom at every term
of court hears Illustrations of the delu
sion of wliat Is called circumstantial
evidence. Innocent men are fined or
Imprisoned or electrocuted because of
an unfortunate conjunction of events.
What Is true In courtrooms Is true In
all circles of domestic or social or polit
ical or official life. You have been mis
understood and misrepresented, or will
be misunderstood or misrepresented.
Then how can my text be true? My
explanation is this: The man without
any divine grace in his heart finds in
these troubles irritation and unbelief
and melancholia and despair. A Chris
tian man finds In them submission and
enlarged views and divine support and
reconsecratlou. Bereavement to the
worldling brings hard thoughts of God
and a resistance so violent It dares not
fully express itself. Bereavement
brings to the Christian the thought of
heavenly reunion and a more complete
laying hold of God, and a more tender
appreciation of the divine presence,
and deeper gratitude that we were per
mitted to have the departed one so
long, and a more lively sympathy for
the sorrows of others and another evi
dence of God’s love, for “whom the
Lord lovetb he chasteneth,”
Health Better Than Riches.
Financial loss, which 1 just now said
Is sure to come, never breaks up a man
who has strong faith in God. lu most
cases It is a loss of surplus or It Is the
banishment of luxuries. Most of the
wants of the prosperous classes are ar
tificial wants. The late Mr. Armour
of the $00,000,000 estate poluted to one
of his clerks on ordinary salary and
said, “That man has better appetite
than 1, sleeps better nights and enjoys
life more than 1 do.” Ob, the gigantic
miseries of those who have too much!
A man In Solomon’s time expressed as
philosophic and reasonable a wish as
any man of those times or of our times.
His name was Agur, and be offered a
prayer that he might never have a su
perabundance or a deficit, crying out,
“Give me neither poverty nor riches!”
On the one side he had seen the awful
struggle of the poor to get food and
clothes and shelter and to educate their
children, and on the other side he had
seen the gouty foot, and the Indiges
tion, and the insomnia, and the anxiety
about large Investments, and the threat
ened paresis often characteristic of
those who are loaded up and loaded
down with too many successes. Those
people who are generally called ♦he
masses—that Is, the most of folks—
have the things absolutely necessary
for their well being. They have no Mu
rillos on their wall, nor a “Belshazzar’s
Feast” in their dining room, nor a pair
of $3,000 sorrels at their doorway. But
they have something which those su
perabundantly supplied seldom have—
they have better health because, being
compelled to walk, they get the neces
sary exercise, and, their diet being lim
ited to plain food, they do not suffer
from midnight salads and are not vic
timized by rare caterers. They retire
for wholesome sleep at the very hour
in which others are leaving their homes
for the dance or the card party. They
will sleep the last sleep just as well In
the plain graveyard as those who have
over them an arch of sculptured gran
ite In costliest necropolis or most his
torical abbey.
Things are more equally divided than
Is generally supposed. That splendid
home Ih apt to have a taking off of
some kind. It may he an Invalid wife,
or a deformed child, or an Inherited
tending toward Insanity, or a dissolute
son, or a despoiled reputation, or a
weakened heart that may halt under
the least excitement. Envy no man.
Envy no woman. Be content with
such things as ye have. Do not thiok,
In order to have It w^ll with you,
according to my text, that therefore
you must have more than somebody
else, or even ns much ns somebody
else. The lord treats us all better than
we treat him, and If we would study
our blessings as much as we study our
disasters we would be more reasonable
and thankful. In Isaiah God says that
bread and water shall be sure, and
none of us has been put on so low
a diet; but we often act as though God
had not kept him promise because we
want more luxuries, forgetful of the
fact that he promised bread, not cake;
water, not sparkling cordials.
The reason so many people are mis
erable Is because they do not let well
enough alone. They are In one occu
pation and see Its annoyances and so
change to another occupation and find
as many annoyances. If uot more. Tin y
live lit one place and know It* uncom
fortable environments and move lu-
to another place which has Just ns
many limitations. Their Investments
yield them 4 per cent, and they sell
out to make investments that will
yield 10 per cent and lose all. Better
settle down and stop fretting about
yourself and the world.
An officer In Cromwell's time was so
worried about public affairs that e
could not sleep. Ills servant, a Chris
tiau man, said lie would like the privi
lege of asking the officer a question.
Leave being granted, the servant said,
“Do you uot think that God governed
the world very well before you came
Into It?" “No doubt of it,” was the re
ply. “And do you uot think lie will
govern It quite as well when you are
gone out of It?” “Certainly.” “Then—
pray, sir, excuse me—hut do you not
think you may trust him to govern It
as long as you live in it?” The remark
was so sensible that sleeplessness de
parted and tranquillity came.
A particular Providence is as certain
as a general Providence. It did not
Just happen so that Brunei noticed a
shlpworm boring into the wood, so sug
gesting to the engineer the tunneling
of the Thames. It did not Just happen
so that a spider’s web strung from tree
to tree suggested the suspension bridge
to Us first originator. Nothing just
happened so in your life or mine. It is
not an autocrat at the head of the uni
verse, but a Father.
Leave thy low vaulted past!
Ijct each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting
seal
Do any of us fully realize the fact
that God gives us three things in un
limited supply, although no formula of
prayer that 1 ever heard recognizes
them—water, air and sunlight? Water
by the riverful. Water by the lakeful.
Water by the oceanful. Some for ab
lution, some for slaking of thirst, some
for baptistery, some for fountains and
aquariums. 1 never appreciated what
a wonderful thing water Is until last
summer I stood by the fountains be
fore and around the emperor’s palace
at Peterhof, Russia.
I have been familiar with this won
derful element of nature from child
hood, having been born on the banks of
the beautiful Raritan and as a bare
footed boy dabbled In the brook near
my father’s house. But I never real
ized until last summer what water
could do in play, or in strange caprice,
or beautification, or when climbing the
ladder of the light, or when skillful
workmen took hold of it to toss it or
whirl It, or shape it Into crowns, or
hoist It Into columns, or spring it into
arches, or lift it iuto stars, or turn it
Into crescents, or build it into temples.
You forget you ever saw the less glori
ous waters at Chatsworth, England, or
Versailles, France, as you stand In the
balcony of the palace overlooking the
Finland gulf, bewildered and trans
ported as you look at the one display
called the Golden Stairway fountain.
The water rolls down over 24 steps 1
foot high and 20 feet lofig. All of these
24 steps are covered with sheets of
burnished gold. Silver stop of the wa
ter on stairs of gold! What a glee of
liquids! Bolling, dashing, foaming, en
rapturing splendors! Chorus of floods!
Poetry of waters! Doxology of tor
rents. But that which most impressed
me there and elsewhere is the abun
dance of water, the fact that there are
so many waters that the continents can
afford to throw them away iuto the
sea, Hudsons and Chios, Oregons and
Amazons, ithines and Dauubes and
Volgas, and so abundant that the earth
can afford to have its oceans evaporate
Into the heavens, Mediterraneans and
Ailantlcs and Pacifies. How rich the
earth is with waters! Rest beverage of
all the nations, for after the richest ban
quet with the richest beverages every
one wants at least a sip of It—water,
cool water, God descended water!
Trust the Lord.
With still more abundance Is the air
distributed. An earth full of It; a sky
full of It. Swiftest and strongest eagle
cannot fly so high as uot to have it in
the nostril or under the wing. And
what affluence of sunlight! No one but
the infinite God could dispense so much
of It The golden candlestick set on
the blue mantel of the heavens! So
great that the Almighty Is compared
to It, the psalmist crying out, “Tbo
Lord God Is a sun!” It is high time
that we recognize In our liturgies and
In our formulas of prayer the three
most abundant blessings of the uni
verse which come to all.
Now, b It not time that we all began
more thoroughly to trust the Lord ? Wd
trust him with our souls; why not trust
him with our bodies? We trust him
with our spiritual Interests; why not
trust him with our temporal Interests?
We believe what Is said to us by an or
dinarily honest man. 1 could not anger
you so much or make your cheeks so
burn with Indignation as to doubt your
truthfulness, and how do you suppose
the Lord of heaven and earth feels
when you doubt him us he declares In
the text, “Say ye to the righteous that
It shell be well with him?” Such a
promise as that ought to calm your
pulses and Irradiate your countenance
and halo all the future with rapture,
for, after all, It makes but little differ
ence what becomes of us here If we
come out at the right place, amid the
right surroundings and In the right
companionship. W’hat are the 20 or 40
or 80 years of terrestrial stay compared
with the centuries, the millenniums,
the eons of our chief lifetime, which
we are to begin when we quit this In-
significant planet, Insignificant ns com
pared with the size of other worlds?
This world Is only a sehoolhouse for
heaven. We learn here only the ABC
of a higher literature or the simple ad
dition and subtraction of an infinite
mathematics and are practicing the
eight notes of an eternal harmony.
The most Important question that
any man ever asks Is, “What will be
my destiny?" “Whither am I bound?”
“Where shall I land?” “What Is the
terminus of this short Journey?” Now,
child of God, do not worry about that.
It shall be well with you In your next
state of existence. We know but little
about heaven. There Is but little con
cerning It In the Bible, and that Is on
the last few pages and is mostly figu
rative. Do you knew the reason why?
I suppose It Is because If we knew the
full attractiveness of that place we
would be unfitted for our duties here.
We would feel that we were standing
In the vestibule of a great Luxemburg
and would want to go right In and see
the glories; or standing In the portico
of a temple and would want to get In
side nmoug the worshipers. 8o we
are allowed to hear only oue bar of the
iniuiId and to see oue fold of Uf »n-
holstery and catch one glimpse of Its
towers. I can make only n rouzh
draft of your celestial residence, but
1 can authoritatively state that the
world to which you arc destined Is a
big world, a brilliant world, a sinless
world, a joyful world, an endless world,
and a world in touch with other worlds.
II Khnll Be Well.
Some scientists are now discussing
the opening of communication betwe; n
our earth and the planet Mars. Ex
periments are being made, but they
will not succeed. We cannot build a
fire large enough to attract the atten
tion of that world, or lift a lens power
ful enough to see any response inter
stellar. We do not positively know
that that world is occupied by living
beings, or that, if it is occupied, com
munication with them would be desir
able. It might not be so good a world
as this, aud thus communication wi.h
It would be debasing. But l rejoice to
know that heaven is in touch with
other worlds for their improvement,
and a depot for glorious arrivals. It
Is a thoroughfare between this world
and that world, aud a coming and go
ing perpetual
Going out of this world is as natural
as coming Into it, but the one is with
pang, aud the other is with rapture, if
we are fitted for the uplifting process.
It shall be well with you. Now, do not
get so frightened about that asthma or
that cough or that influenza or that
threatened pneumonia. The worst
thing that fatal disease can do is to
usher you Into coronation aud en
thronement. It shall be well with you.
Take as good care of your health as
you can, have the best doctors you can
employ, observe all sanitary laws, keep
In this world as long as you are per
mitted to stay, aud then when the
heavenly call conies be glad to go. I
do not care much about what your
“last words” are going to be. People
put too much emphasis on “last words.”
I would rather know’ what your words
are uow, in days of health and with
mental faculties in full play—your
words of kindness, your words of sym
pathy, your words of helpfulness, your
words of prayer. So live that if you
say uot a word during the last day of
your life there will be no doubt here
about the place of your destination.
You will go right into saintly, prophet
ic, evangelistic, apostolic, cherubic,
seraphic, archaugelic, deitie presence.
It shall he well with you.
Mother, you will go right up into the
possession .of the babe that the scarlet
fever or croup took out of your arms, a
sorrow that still stings you, and you
often say she would now be so many
years old if she had lived. You will go
iuto the presence of the old folks, for 1
hope you are of Christian ancestry, and
you will find that they have no dim
ness of sight or halting gait that re
quires a staff, for they havt> taken a
draft from the fountain of perpetual
youth that springs from uuder the
throue of God. ‘
Oh, the blissful companionship of
heaven in which you shall enter! It
shall be well with you. I ring this bell
of emancipation and triumph. I like
the way the sexton rings the bell of
the old country meeting house. I used
to stand and admire him pulling the
rope of that bell. He rings It a good
while, so that every farmhouse within
five miles hears it. He may halt a mo
ment to take breath and give the sweet
sounds time to stir up all the echoes of
the hills. And when he is old and not
strong enough to pull the rope any
more then he sits and listens while his
son rings the church bell. So my text
seems a bell of Invitation and victory.
I began to ring it in the opening of this
discourse. I hope to ring it as long as
1 live, and may those who come after
us keep on ringing it till those farthest
off from God shall come Into the great
temple of gospel comfort and all the
weary put down their burdens at Its al
tar and find that peace which tin world
can neither give nor take away. Three
times more I ring it: It shall he well!
It shall be well! It shall be well!

or tbo . aine basis that vou dviil with
llic catalogue houses anti give the
same amount of time to get the
goods which it would r»quire to !
them from them. Plank your money
dow n when you order the g mds hmi
we will meet each and t v> ry price
they make and furnish vou the same
goods at the same prices they < Her
you. We also make customers pay
freight and express charges.
WE WILL UO FTHTHKK
We don’t ask you to take any goods
where mistakes are made in ordering
We’ll shoulder the mistakes. If anv
of jou ever had anything come
wrong you know what a nice little
job it is to get it correctt d, no matter
how willing the firm is to do so. It
takps correspondence, stamps and
freight on the goods to get tin m tx
changed, to say nothing of loss of
time.
Some people prefer to buy awa)
from home because it sounds big to
he able to say they ordered from Chi
cago, etc. We know of one party who
is actually paying more for
bought away from home than hi
could buy them of his dealer here
This kind of people we can do noth
ing for, but the kind who are making
the dollar go just as far as they can,
we can and will do something for.
Give us a trial on the proposition
we make, if you are one of those who
have been buying away from home
Bring your catalogue with you. If
we fail to furnish the goods without
a reasonable excuse, don’t give us
your confidence again. Try us once.
We don’t fear the results.
We are residents of this town. We
are your home merchants. Wo help
pay taxes. We have to live and
must consume some of your products
IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG ABOUT Ol’K
PROPOSITION ?
The whole trouble with rur peoph
about here is the same with which so
many communities are suffering,
that old slowcoach, credit. Some > t
it is so slow we never g-t it. No
merchant can sell goods cheap on
that plan. The dollar invett.d it
goods today and sold for cash tomor
row can be invested in more goodr
the following day, and the same pr<-
cess of sale may be rep' ated, but the
dollar invested in goods today ano
sold on credit tomorrow is tied up
just so long as you don’t get it bark,
and its earning capacity is st >pped
for the merchant until he gets it
back again. (Jan you wonder whv
the catalogue house has the advan
tage in price over most of your horm
merchants? The catalogue house
won’t trust you; even demands the
money in advance with no goods in
sight. Your home merchant oftei
trusts, and often to his sorrow, evei
though 100 per cent, sometimes b-
his profit Many times a seeming
profit of 25 per cent, on goods sold to
a good man turns out to be merely a
small interest on the money invested
because of slow pay.
Treat your home merchant like
you are compelled to treat your cata
logue house, and we think you will
get better results.
We handle a full line of Goods.
Shoes, Hats, Notions Clothes, Medi
cine etc., etc.
Call when in town and make our
store your headquarters. We have a
few chairs if you want to rest, and
we keep the store warm and the latch
string out. O. E. Wilkins.

We have secured the services of
Mr. Homer Beard as undertaker
and funeral director, who understands
the business in all of its details. Mr.
Beard can be found in our busines-,
Carroll. Carpenter Si Humphries old
stand during business hours, and at
ids room over National Bank at all
other times.
Remember that Mr Beard is a reg
ular licensed undertaker and embaim-
er, and has the highest testimonials
as to his proficiency and cbaiacier as
a high-toned gentleman.
Very truly yours,
The Acme Furniture Co.
Cut Prices,
The manager of one of the most
successful furniture houses in
Greater New York was asked to
what one thing, in his opinion,
the success of the concern was
most due. He replied:
“The founder of the firm was a gieat
believer in advertising, and to this fact
may be ascribed the enormous business
we are handling."
There is no business, however
small, that cannot be increased
by judicious, systematic, per
sistent advertising. The giant
oak does not gain its strength in
a day. Magnificent buildings
are not reared all at once, nor
can their strength and beauty be
appreciated until the finishing
touches are put on.
Is your business satisfactory?
Are you making headway? Are
you using to the best advantage
the greatest of all business lev
ers—advertising? If you are
satisfied that you are, well and
good; if not, drop in and talk
it over with us.
We have advertising space
to sell, and
ad vet Using is a part of our bu. iue&s.
Perhsp* we can help you.
For the next !>0 days 1 will
sell you I)rv Goods, Noti,ons )
Shoes, Hals and all other goods
at cut prices.
I will sell you the best Axes
on the nil k«i at ()0 ci'iits for
plain and , i.> ei nts for beveled.
