Pastor of Jefferson Paxk Presby terian Gnurch, Chicago I* 4 Chicago, March 15.— How much of- real heroism and true nobility are dis played in ordinary, inconspicuous lives is shown by Rev. Frank De Witt Tal- mage in this sermon on the text Mat thew i, 4, “And Naasson begat Sal mon.” Why did Thomas Carlyle entitle one of his books “Heroes and Hero Wor ship?” He knew that the vast major ity of the human race loved to study the lives of its great men and women. Most people are Boswells, bowing be fore some Johnsonian shrine. We want to see the hero as a divinity, a prophet, a priest, a man of letters or a king. What Dante or Shakespeare or Luther or Rousseau or Burns or Cromwell or Napoleon was in public and private life has for most of us an absorbing in terest. We are not, as a rule, over wrought with excitement when we come in touch with a seeming “no body,” but we will travel far to sit at the feet of a great orator or to clasp hands with a Goethe or a Victor Hugo or to see one whose dictum may influ ence the destiny of a nation. We do well to honor the transcendent genius and to take an intense interest in the characteristics of the great man, but we ought not to overlook the heroic elements in ordinary lives. There are men among us, inconspicuous and un known, who are living valiant lives, overcoming the evil within them and around them and exercising a benefi cent influence on their own contracted circle. These are men who, if a great crisis came or a great opportunity opened, would achieve fame, but with out it will die uuhonored save by the few who know them well. It is such men 1 would hold up for your admira tion today, and I choose at random as an illustration of the class an obscure name from a genealogical table. The C'rndle’H Influence. First, Xaasson’s cradle must have been an important part of his life's ministry. It is a very common custom for people to sneer at the helpful in fluence of a cradle. Many critics are apt to say tlfat all a baby is good for is to eat and sleep, to cry and get sick und to keep the house in uproar from the time he gets into it until, as a young man, he goes forth to start a home of his own. For nearly two years at least the mother Is bound to that cradle as firmly as if she were linked to it with a chain of steel. For four or five years the baby is utterly helpless. If turned out in the cold, he would not be able to take as much care of himself as a five-month-old puppy. For the first fifteen years of a child’s life his opinion upon any subject is practically valueless. The first twenty years are for the most part preparation for life’s work rather than the achieve ment of any high purpose. “There fore.” some one says to me, “I do not see how you can affirm that Naasson's cradle could have been a very impor tant part of his life’s ministry.” While admitting these facts, 1 still contend that the first few years of a child’s life have a momentous influ ence. They are important not only to the child, but to his parents. Who has not witnessed the influence of a cradle in a house? I appeal to your own ex perience. It must be in essential prin ciples a parallel of mine. My cradle and the cradles of my brother and sis ters had a hallowing influence in our home. They were an inspiration to my father and mother. My father preach ed better sermons on Sunday liecause he knew that in his nursery the chil dren with whom he romped during the week would look to him as an example and a model. My mother was all the more consecrated and circumspect be cause her daughters were looking to her for guidance and maternal train ing. And, my brother, when any one says that your childhood amounted to nothing, you deny It. By the sainted graves of your dead father and mother you declare that you know they were better Christians and better citizens because you, as a little stranger, once crept into their hearts. Your parents not only gave you to the Lord Jesus Christ when they stood with you at the baptismal altar, but they also at the same time, on your account, re newed their consecration vows to the Christ who loved their little child. A Child In Camp. The purifying, ennobling and Chris tianizing influence of a little child was once illustrated by a brother minister In the following story: One day, in the far west, a stalwart miner was return ing to his encampment when he found a lost child. She was a beautiful little girl of about five summers. “Where are your father and mother, little one?” asked the miner. “Don’t know,” said the baby. “What are you going to do?” “Well,” she answered, not the least abashed, “I guess I will go home with you and wait until mamma comes and gets me.” The miner, with a laugh, picked her up In his strong arms and started up the mountain side. The lit tle girl in his embrace was not a bit afraid. ‘ She laughed and sang and chattered all the way. When the min er came to camp, be asked the men what be would do with her, and they said, “Let her stay here over night, and then some one will take her to town in the morning.” After supper the little girl suddenly stopped her chattering and said: “Now it is time for me to go to bed. Who will undress me?” That was a new task for those hard fisted workmen. They did not know what to do. At last the man who bad found her snid. “Little one, come here; I will undress you.” He got out a woolen shirt and used it for her nightgown. Then she looked up in her sweet, inno cent way and said: “Now I must say my prayers. Who will I say them to?” This was a harder proposition for the men to solve than the other. At last one miner said, “Come, my darling, and say your prayers to me.” When the little one knelt, the tears came welling out of the miner’s eyes. He pushed her off as he said, “No, my little one; I am not good enough for you to say your prayers to me.” Another miner tried it. He broke down. At last the little girl knelt by her bunk. When she commenced to pray the old prayer— Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep— and ended up that prayer with the plea that God would bless the good men who were looking after her, there was not a dry eye in that cabin. Many of those rough, stalwart men, through that child’s example, were led to give their hearts to God. As a result of that little girl's visit these rough min ers built a church. They brought to that church a minister. The minister declared that in all his life he never preached to a more impressionable au dience than those rough men, who had been brought into touch with that little child prayer. You assert that that child's gospel influence is the exception? I know it is not. I know that a man never on earth comes as near to heaven as when his little baby boy or girl kneels by his side and in trust and love says a baby’s evening prayer. God pity the man who never knew that joy! God forgive the father who has dulled his ear so as not to hear such a message, who has blinded his eyes to shut out such a sight, which in angelic form can come to him in bare feet, robed in a little white nightgown. Brother, do not tell me that Naasson's childhood was wast ed years. Do not for a moment sup pose that although you may be an ordi nary man living an ordinary life in an ordinary home your little cradle had no gospel significance In the lives of your Christian parents. .\'nn»Noii Like Mont of La. Naasson's matured manhood teaches that God provides for the humblest of his children ns ^vell as for the greatest. Who was Naasson? He had a father named Aminadab and a son, Salmon. That'is all we know of his direct con nections. They were evidently as hum ble as himself. There was certainly nothing extraordinary alKmt this man. History makes no mention of Naasson leading a great army. Among all the loaders of the Bible there is no record ed speech spoken by his lips. Whether he was in physique tall or short, wheth er he had light hair or dark, blue eyes or black, a broad or a narrow chest, must be all left to conjecture. But this fact is certain—whether he was the humblest individual who ever lived or no, God took care of him, God fed him, God clothed him, God saw him grow up to full manhood. Then when his work, however small, was done God took him to himself. In other words, Naasson was like the most of us, who are with out any particular talent or power of leadership. Yet God is caring and feed ing and clothing and housing us, just as he feeds the bird of the air and clothes the lily of the field. O obscure man, in the humble walks of life, do you not realize that in spite of yourself you are preaching wherever you go the protecting care of the love of < Jod? It Is not surprising that a wiz ard of inventions like Thomas A. Edi son can earn his daily bread; it is not surprising that a gigantic intellect like that of Andrew Carnegie can accumu late a fortune when he can crowd the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers with his works, the long funnels every where at ui&bt shooting out their flames until it makes the surrounding regions of Pittsburg look, as Rev. Dr. John Hall once expressed It, “as the in fernal regions with the lid off;” it is not surprising that a lawyer like Sear- gent S. Prentiss should have a large income when by his eloquence he could charm not only the masses, but also such leaders of this country as Rufus Choate, who turned to Daniel Webster at the conclusion of one of his orations and said, “Did you ever hear a speech more eloquent than that?” “Never,” answered Webster, “except from Sear- gent S. Prentiss himself.” But that a man of ordinary intellect and every day abilities can at all times earn a livelihood for himself and wife and children is surely to be explained by a revelation of the divine goodness. Why, some people have not hardly enough brains to tell their right band from their left, yet God cares for them, God feeds them and clothes them, just as he cares for that poor widow who is left financially stranded with a large number of children strapped to her back. He feeds and clothes them just as he cared for Naasson or as he has been caring for us. Whe.-e Plain Lives Lend. But I find another very suggestive fact about Naasson’s genealogical his tory. It led to mightier names. As Joseph Parker once graphically and tersely expressed It: “You should re member that a long, fiat road may be leading up to a great mountain. There are some very plain and uninteresting miles out of Geneva, yet every one of them brings you nearer to Moot Blanc. Bo you do not know to what high hlH your life may be quietly leading up. Even If you yourself are nobody, your son may be a man of renown or bis son may be a valiant and mighty man. Methuselah was the father of Lamech, and Lamech was the father of Noah.” Yes, yes, that is the thought to which I point Naasson may have been a seeming nobody. His son, Salmon, was a seeming nobody. But Salmon was the father of the mighty Boaz, who was the husband of beautiful Ruth, who was the grandmother of the mighty David, who was the ancestor of Jesus Christ So, O humble woman, - ..Eiifcai. -., - you, may think your domestic life does not amount to much. You may say it consists mostly in sewing dresses for the babies and cooking meals and pet ting the little ones when they are hurt and reading the Bible to the children before they go to bed. But I want to tell you that in the light of this his tory of Naasson you have a mighty, a tremendous work upon your hands. You may be the mother or the grand- mother of a boy who will yet proclaim the gospel of Jesus to the furthermost parts of the world. You may be rock ing in your daughter’s cradle a future Frances E. Willard, a Florence Night ingale or a Frances Ridley Havergal. Am I going beyond my right in too much emphasizing the infinite influence of a humble home? Were not nearly all our great men born in a (cottage in stead of a palace? Have not nearly all our great men laid at their humble mother’s feet the credit for all their success? What said Thomas H. Ben ton, the great Missouri senator, when he was delivering a speech in New York city? “My mother asked me nev er to use tobacco, and I have never touched it from that day to this. She asked me never to gamble, and I never learned to gamble. When I was seven years of age, she asked me never to drink. I made n resolution of total ab stinence. That resolution I have never broken. And now, whatever honor I may have gained, I owe it all to my mother.” What says John Adams? “All that I am I owe to my mother.” What says James A. Garfield? He says nothing, but his actions speak louder than words. We see that his first act after having taken the oath of office as president of the United States was to lean over and with smiling lips, under loving eyes, kiss the withered lips of his old mother. When Garret A. Ho bart was about to take the oath of of fice as president elect in the senate chamber. I saw President McKinley’s eyes wander up to the gallery wherein sat the one who gave him birth, and he bowed Ids reverence and love to his old mother. Tl»«* Heart. Henry Ward Beecher once snid that “the mother’s heart is the child's school room.” It is more than that; it is the very heart of the child’s mental, moral and spiritual existence. Ah, woman, called mother: ah, man, called father, do not say that your humble life in a humble home amounts to naught. When you rock the cradle, you are rocking the centuries. Your boys, your girls, may yet become mighty men and women for God and for the betterment of the world, because you are now starting them right. They may be proaehiug and living the love of Christ among the earth’s sinful men long aft er your earthly work is done and you have gone to your heavenly reward. Again, Naasson’s life impresses me with the fact that the greatest of earth ly works are accomplished by ordinary people. Here and there in the long list of genealogical names which are re corded in the first chapter of Matthew thepe is a prominent man, but four- fifths of them—aye, nine-tenths of them —are names as humble as that of Naas son's. Thus we find that everywhere the vast bulk of the world's work is done by the ordinaries und not by the extraordinaries. Why? Because there are but few extraordinaries und thou sands upon thousands and millions up on millions ordinaries. When you stand by the grave of Christopher Wren in St. Paul’s cathedral of London, you read his epitaph thus: “If you wish to see my monument, look about you.” But when I look about St. Paul’s cathe dral I see in the stones of every wall and the dovetailing of every crevice the work of bund mis and thousands of hands horny with toil as well as in the complete building tbe white, soft fin gers of the great architect who there lies buried. I see the humble laborers digging the foundations; I see the hum ble masons rearing tbe walls; I see tbe humble carpenters lifting tbe scaffold ings; I see the crowd collect about tbe poor, bruised, mangled body of the workman whose foot misstepped and whose brains were dashed out upon the ground beneath when he fell from that high scaffolding. Aye, I see Naassons, humble Naassons, everywhere in life! They have builded the pyramids; they have lifted the dome of St. Peter’s and the Taj Mahal; they have worked on the farms and swept out the stores and died in the soldier’s trench. It is the accumulation of the work of the ob scure individuals In this world which has made this old earth what it is; therefore, my brother, do not say that your life’s work Is useless because it is Inconspicuous. The Humble Workers. Well did the manager of the celebra tion which took place in New York city some years ago to commemorate the inauguration of George Washing ton as president of the United States appreciate the value of the humble workers In the bumble walks of peace ful avocations. Tbe first day, for it was a three days’ celebratlii, they gave up to tbe navy, or, rath^j to the scene when Washington crossed New York harbor and landed at Castle Gar den. Then the bay was crowded with boats in gala day attire. Then the mighty white squadron, accompauied by representatives of foreign navies, passed up tbe Hudson river lu review. As the death dealing, floating arma ments of destruction passed Governors Island, where I sat, the gunners would shove tbe noses of their war hounds out of tbe portholes. There would be a breath of smoke, then a growl, a roar and the white ships would disap pear behind the white clouds of smoke. The second day of the celebration was given up to the army. Hour after hour up Broadway and Fifth avenue rode the different governors at the bead of their state troops. Cheer after cheer went up to greet tbe famous men. There were the regulars with such men as Schofield and the one armed Howard at their head who followed Sherman to tbe sea. Then came the war veterans. Side by side with the blues rqde or \v«.ii;cu L.e men who once wore the gray—brothers now, with no rivalries save with the rivalries of trying to outdo each other in kindness and broth erly courtesy. Tht- StreiiKflt of the Nation. But the third day of the celebration was the greatest to me of all. That was the time of the industrial parade. What is the navy for? Merely to pro tect our merchants and artisans at the seaboard. What is the army for? Merely to protect the homes of our mechanics and the factories and the little stores. The strength of our na tion Is not in her mailed hand of war, but in her horny hand of toil. Yes. on that day we saw Naassons everywhere. We heard the hammer upon the anvil. We saw the baker cooking at the stove. We saw the farmer's plow and the woodman’s ax and the typewriter’s machine and the printing press. We heard in the flotillas which moved up Broadway and Fifth avenue the na tional song of a prosperous home in dustry. And these flotillas were not maimed by the royal trappings of for eign ambassadors. They were filled with the artisans and the laborers and the mechanics and employees of foun dries and factories in the common, ev eryday working clothes of men and women living upon small salaries. Ah, my brother, do not complain because you are a humble Naasson. The pros perity of this country rests upon the workingman’s cottage far more than upon the capitalist’s mansion or the president’s White House. But coming near to the earthly end of Naasson’s life I find by this genea logical account that God was keeping just as much account of his life as he did that of Abraham or Jacob or Bonz or David. Naasson In his humble ca pacity and doing his life’s work well was just as dear to his Divine Master as if he had occupied a Solomon's throne or had built a Noah’s ark. In deed, I sometimes think if (Jod has any favorites they are to be found among the humble workers. Abraham Lincoln thought so. He once said, “God must love the common people better than the aristocrats because he made so many of them.” And Christ’s actions when upon earth seemed to prove this theory. We find that lie as sociated for the most part with the poor and the humble. The greatest earthly joy Jesus seemed to have had in a human sense after a day’s preach ing in Jerusalem was to be able to leave the capital and climb up the hill upon which is situated the little village of Bethany and there lodge? with his few friends in the home of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. Thus, ray broth er, in your humble capacity, in your obscure home, remember that Christ is with you. Remember that he is watching you. Also remember that if you do your work with his help t,< the best of your ability be will speak to you the same words which Sir Walter Scott chiseled upon the tombstone of a domestic who had served him long and was buried In his family plot, "Well done, good and faithful serv ant.” If God rewarded Naasson, he reward ed him not for being willing to serve him in a place for which he was not fitted, but for faithfully doing the work which was given him to do in an incon spicuous position. A short time ago President Roosevelt nominated an of ficer to the position of brigadier gen eral not because he had gallantly led a charge in Cuba during the Spanish- American war, but because he was willing when asked to do so to stay at home and faithfully do the organizing work of the day. It is not always the man who receives the applause of men who will ultimately receive the ap plause of heaven; therefore let us do the humble work of life faithfully and earnestly which God has given to us to do. Do It even though we may be a Naasson; do it even though men may judge that work to be useless. The man of one talent may receive just as large a heavenly reward as the man of ten. [Copyright. 1903, by Louis Klopsch.] A Curiosity of the Simplon Tunnel. The engineers digging the wonderful tunnel that runs through the great Simplon mountain to connect Switzer land with Italy are experiencing great difficulties because of the presence of boiling water in the mountain. The water comes from the top of the moun tain and is heated almost to boiling point by the friction and pressure of its percolation through the limestoue beds of the mountain. Before the tun nel had been dug very far on the Ital ian side the heat became so intense that it was impossible to live in it The mountain was piped, and soon 15,000 gallons of steaming hot water were flowing out of the south end of the tun nel every minute of the day and night. The immense flow was harnessed and made to drive refrigerating plants and cold air blowers. Today the tempera ture of the tunnel has been reduced from a height that would have roasted a man in a minute or two, and the at mosphere now has the pleasant warmth of a June day. The hot water also drives pneumatic drills and boring ma chines, so that it helps to dig tbe tun nel as well. When completed, the Simplon tunnel will be the biggest in the world—fourteen miles long, with a cost of nearly $1,000,000 a mile. A Large Diocese. Bishop Tugwell of western equatorial Africa is often asked when in England, “What is the size of your diocese?” “I generally answer,” he says, “by saying, ’You could put England and Wales, Ireland and Scotland, Holland and Bel gium, France and Germany into my diocese and still have room to spare.' ” The area is estimated at 700,000 square miles, and it includes the Gold Coast Colony. Ashanti, Lagos, southern Ni geria, the city of Benin, northern Ni geria and Huusa and Bornu states.— London Express.
