RIVER RISING AT ST. LOUIS.
People Along Water Front Preparing
For Big Flood.
St. Louis, June 3.—The Mississippi
river continues to rise, a stage of 31.2
feet being shown at 7 a. m. The
people along the river front between
here and East St. Eouis are preparing
for the big flood.
The river men and government offi
cials predict that the water will he
over the levee railroad tracks by noon
today and officials of the different
roads affected are busy making ar
rangements to place their rolling stock
“where it will be safe.
Weather Observer Bowen says of
the situation:
“The Mississippi below Cairo is com
paratively low, which means that the
water at present in the St. Louis dis
trict will move out rapidly, thereby
permitting the Kansas City stage of
water to reach here Friday or Satur
day at a time when waters of the up
per Mississippi river shall have passed
here.”

Chicago, June 7.—In this sermon tin
preacher sets forth with enthusiasm j
the delights of the Christian ministry |
and the opportunities it offers to the
graduates of our learned institutions
as the ideal life of consecrated useful
ness. The text is Psahns xvi, G, “The
lines are fallen unto me in pleasant
places.”
Different occupations often imply dif
ferent enjoyments. All varieties of
flowers do not thrive equally well un
der the same colored glasses. The
amusements which would be exhilara
tion and restful relaxation for the phy
sician may be drudgery and irritation
for the merchant. The owls and the
bats turn their days into nights and
their nights into days. The eagles and
the hawks do not circle about in the
heavens unless they can heat their
feathers by the flaming fires of the sun.
The inhabitant of one home may be
deaf and blind to the pleasures sur
rounding another fireside.
In the backwoods I best learned this
interesting lesson. With my family, I
was spending a summer vacation in
the country. In a rowboat, far from
a railroad station. I was tracing the
bendings and windings of a little river.
Suddenly, at a turn of the stream, we
came to a small house nestling under
the protecting branches of the tall
trees. I found there a woman living
practically alone. She had no children.
All day long her husband was off to
work. I said to her: “This is an awful
place to live! You must he lonely and
heartsick with no companionship.’’
“Oh. no.” she answered. “I am never
alone. I have hundreds of friends who
call and talk to me every day. Do you
see that little nest just at the end of
my porch? Well, last spring the mother
bird came here as a bride and asked
me if she could build her home there,
and I said ‘Yes.’ Then she talked and
chattered on all the time she was
building it. She brought me her hus
band and introduced me to him. She
told me when the eggs were laid and
when the eggs were hatched. She is
one of my friends. Then just over
there under that bank a muskrat has
his home and is raising ids family.
He comes out every little while and
blinks at me and talks in the sign lan
guage. Then there are my friends the
wild flowers and my friends the chick
ens and my friends the fish, which I
feed at the dock. Then the river it
self is a friend of mine. It has a lan
guage of murmurs and gurgles to
which 1 listen, and when I get tired
and weary I am soothed by its sym
pathy. Oli, no; do not pity me for be
ing alone. My enjoyments are per
haps not your enjoyments, hut they
are many, very many. I would not
exchange my life for that of any one
I know.” Happy woman that. Happy
because she was in the place where
she could use the qualities with which
God had endowed her. Happy because,
like a bee, she was able to find every
flower tilled with nectar for her lips.
Happy because every tree branch was
to her a choir loft in which a master
soloist was singing the sweetest song
in all his repertoire.
The IlappieMt Life.
Well, my friends, as I needlessly
pitied that poor woman living in the
backwoods there are hundreds and
thousands of people commiserating the
supposed unhappy lot of a gospel min
ister. These sympathetic commisera
tions have become widespread. There
are hundreds—aye, thousands—of young
nii'n who might otherwise have volun
teered for service in the Christian pul
pits. have been deterred on account
of them, from consecrating themselves
to the gospel ministry. Now I want to
speak specially this morning to the
young men who are graduating from
our colleges and schools, and if they
have adopted tins view of the Chris
tian ministry being a joyless, gloomy
life I want to set them right. I make
a direct appeal to the young men to
enter the gospel pulpit, because it of
fers the happiest, the most blessed and
the most exhilarating life on earth. I
am going to make this plea with au
tobiographical authority by showing
the kindnesses and the sympathies
which have surrounded me from the
day of my ordination down to the pres
ent time.
The first objection generally made to
the occupation of a minister is that it
is not a money making profession.
That is true, hut it does offer some
thing far better in the joy of noble con
secration. We have all at some time
proved the truth of Christ’s words,
that it is better to give than to re
ceive. When the bower bird of love
builded her home for the first time in
our hearts we Immediately tried to man
ifest that love in many different ways.
We laid at the feet of our ladylove our
gifts, as the wise men from the east
came to the manger with their presents
of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
We manifested our love in the littie at
tentions we daily bestowed and in the
letters we would write. As time passed
on we again manifested that love in
the engagement ring which we trem
blingly placed upon the finger of our
future bride. Has any money we have
since earned ever given us such joy as
that which came in the happiness of
her smile, in the welcome of her voice
and in the knowledge that we were
winning her affections In return for
onr affections? My young friend, did
you ever stop to consider that the
Christian minister has such joys as
1 these, which make the acquisition of
a fortune appear in comparison low
and sordid? Apart from the rewards
that God gives to the faithful miuistcr,
there is a joy in the self surrender, in
the consecration of our whole lives to
Christ, who laid down Ins life for us.
Not MetiHtiretl by Money.
The true artist has a deep sense of the
Inspiring exhilaration when he surren
ders his life to his art. Only the other
day a young man left my Chicago
church to go to Europe and study in the
foreign art schools. I said to him: “Why
do you follow this profession? In all
probability you will only eke out of it
h hare living. You will have years and
vears of financial struggle ahead.” “I
know it.” he answered, with a smiling
face, “hut though I may not make
much money I shall have a higher re
ward than money. I would be willing
to live all my life in poverty if I only
could continue to know the joy of trying
to interpret the higher message of the
soul in the language of colors.”
The true soldier does not think of
money, the mere question of money,
when he surrenders his life to the serv
ice of his country. In all probability
he will never have anything to live on
but a mere pittance of a salary. Yet
he willingly dons the soldier’s uniform,
lie willingly promises to suffer and
starve and. if need he, to die for his
country’s good. While promising to
make this sacrifice he feels happy in
the resolve. Cannot the minister in the
same way feel the exhilaration of a
noble consecration? I know that the
•compensations of the gospel minister
cannot he estimated by the standard of
mere money. I know there are many
men preaching week by week in the
pulpit who if they had entered the law
nr a mercantile life would have an an
nual income of five, ten times the in
come that they receive as ministers.
Rut does not the joy of giving your
whole life to the service of Jesus Christ
bring some rewards higher than mon
ey? Does not the thought that you are
trying to save men and comfort men
and bring them to the Saviour whether
you are standing by the opened casket
or by the sick bed or on the street or
in the pulpit give you transcendent
and at times almost overwhelming Joys?
That these spiritual rewards are real
and satisfying is demonstrated by the
fact that the ministers are the only
class of men who, as a rule, want their
sons to follow in their own footsteps
ami their daughters to marry men of
tlioir own profession. If you go to an
average lawyer and ask him what he
would like ids sons to be lie answers,
“Almost anything rather than a law
yer;” to a physician, anything but a
doctor; to a newspaper man, anything
but an editor; to a merchant, and you
will often find him struggling and sav
ing so that he can give his hoys a col
lege education for entrance into some
professional career. But a consecrated
minister invariably wants his sons to
enter the gospel ministry. If you ask
your pastor this question, “What would
you like your son to be?” he will in all
probability answer: “Well, I would not
like to persuade my hoy to he a min
ister. If lie becomes a minister I do
not want him to “he a man made, hut a
God made, minister. But if the Holy
Spirit should ever work upon ids heart
I think the happiest day of my life
would be when I could hear him
preach iu a Christian pulpit. May God
give me this joy.” When some one
asked Henry Ward Beecher why lie
entered the gospel ministry he an
swered: "I could not help it. Who ever
heard of Lyman Beecher’s son doing
anything else but preach?” The reason
all those hoys became preachers was
because Lyman Beecher instilled into
their hearts what the joys of the Chris
tian ministry might be. Over half of
my seminary classmates were the sons
of ministers. The happiest day in my
father's life, I believe, was the day he
preached my ordination sermon and
finished it in a voice trembling with
emotion and with eyes moist with
tears of rapturous joy. Oh, young men
who feel today the yearnings for the
gospel ministry, I know tlixt, if conse
crated, you will have the happiest,
most joyful and the uoblest profession
al life that is now open to any Chris
tian man.
The Joy of Self Surrender.
But the joy of seif surrender is not
the only reward. The gospel ministry
affords more hpportunities for useful
ness tlian t / other profession. Every
true mau T /nts to make the most of
his earthly life. If he has ten talents
he wants to use them where they will
be most effective; if lie has only one
talent he wants to make that one tal
ent useful. Like *. Capitalist, he wants
to invest his mental and spiritual tal
ents where the investment is sure and
where he can get the most returns for
the principal invested. Where can a
consecrated, educated youug man have
more influence for good than in the
Christian ministry?
When the young man graduates from
the theological seminary he immedi
ately takes his place at Dv-'licad of
a country or city churo v What does
that mean? Simply The youpg
man Immediately becomes the leader
of a consecrated band of Christian
workers, who are ready to work for
Christ in any way the young pastor
directs. It means that his individual
personal Influence is doubled, trebled,
quadrupled—aye, a hundredfold in
creased—by the consecrated band of
workers who welcome him into his
new charge. It means that by the
power of his Christian eolaborers
working with him and for him he can
In time absolutely dominate a whole
region for good. Study the history of
Jonathan Edwards in Northampton,
Mass. Study Lyman Beecher’s min
ister! il career in Litchfield, Conn. Aft
er he had been for a short time in his
new parsonage a mighty revival swept
over that town. When some one con
gratulated him on the results of his
new pastorate this trumpet throated
mess'-nger of God answered: “Do not
congratulate m«. It la not my walk,
hut that of the 250 consecrated praying
men and women who are working by
my side.” Study the life of Moses
Huge of Richmond and of the late Dr.
Da liner of New Orleans.
“But,” says some young man, “why
do you cite the careers of great mon? I
am not a great man and never will be.”
The same gospel success which came to
these consecrated men upon a large
scale can come to you, a consecrated
young minister, upon a smaller scale.
Young man, I tell you that It is impos
sible for any consecrated minister, ei
ther in the country or the city, to be
surrounded by a praying, working band
of faithful followers and not have his
life tell mightily for good in the region
in which he lives. Ought not such an
influence for good bring a joy, a rap
turous joy, in the heart of Christ's
preachers? Cannot all truly consecrat
ed gospel ministers on account of the
infinite opportunities of usefulness
which have been opened to them joy
fully chorus the glad paean which was
once sung by the sainted Horatius Bo-
nar:
I thank th&e, Lord, for using me
For thee to work and speak;
However trembling is the hand,
The voice however weak.
For those to whom, through me, thou has:
Some heavenly guidance given;
For some it may be saved from death
And some brought nearer heaven.
A Happy Fellowship.
The gospel ministry is a profc !<>
whose members are treated with p
spect and universal kind’ . IL v
with respect? The very V •“ :• ’
most depraved are genera Ip sil'Mie v
st their approach. When the minis'.i
cornea around the blasphemer's lips up
closed, the low'd story is untold, the
evil thought is unexpressed. When the
Catholic priest on an errand of mercy
enters the lowest dive every head un
covers and every cursing tongue is
stilled.
How r w'itli kindness? Because from
the very moment you step into it there
are scores and hundreds of people who
will do everything in their pow r er to
make your life happy. When installed
in a charge the church reception will
show' yon how many friends you have
and how welcome you are. When your
baby Is sick there are always many
sympathizers to come around and bring
the flowers and, if necessary, help in
nursing. When the autumnal fruits ar
rive there are the tokens of love in
gifts of jellies and apples. There an*
the Christmas presents of chairs and
other kniekknacks. These gifts may
not have much money value, but they
show the true heatings of the hearts of
a loving and sympathetic people. An
aged reformer of England when dying
was asked what was the greatest want
of this world. He answered, “Sympa
thy.” The true gospel minister rarely
feels the need of this gift. lie has the
sympathy of his people in his church
work, lie finds sympathy, heartfelt
sympathy, wherever he goes. I know’
that there are certain churches which
were started in fiendish row’s and are
now r contemptible churches and have
ill treated their ministers for genera
tions. But these mean churches are
the exceptions—the rare exceptions.
The vast majority are hik'd with good
men and women who are doing all
they can for their ministers. At great
personal sacrifice they are denying
themselves in many ways to show their
pastors love and kindness. It is into
such a happy fellowship of pulpit au: 1
pew that I welcome Hie consecrated
young men of this day by welcoming
you into the gospel ministry.
FitliftinK AftMociatlona.
The Christian ministry is a profes
sion in which the members are shield
ed from many of the temptations that
confront men in other walks of life.
Richard Baxter once declared that the
minister had to face the greatest of all
daily temptations. He lived In an ex
ceptional period, and I do not believe
he w’ould have said so had he been liv
ing in this day. Temptations come to
the pulpit, but not with the same viru
lence and bitterness as they assail the
pew. Tin' gospel minister by his ofli-
eial position is under the influence of
good associates. He has surrounding
him some of the best men and women
who are inhabitants of the community
in which he lives. These Christians
are not only praying for his work, but
also for him. We all believe in the
power of prayer. Is there to be no di
rect result upon the minister’s life on
account of this spiritual association?
When I entered college two or three
different secret societies wanted me to
join their organizations. One was com
posed of men notorious for their dissi
pations. They were drinkers, card play
ers, earousers. Another was a poorer
society financially, but was composed
for the most part of noble Christian
boys. I said to myself: “I cannot afford
to place myself in a position where I
may be surrounded by rneu who drink
and gamble. I will join the society
which is poorer financially, but whose
spiritual members will lift me up In
stead of dragging me down.” The con
secrated gospel preacher in the same
■way is always surrounded by good men
and women and not by had. He can
not if he would associate with evil
companions or go to questionable
amusements or desecrate the Sabbath.
If he did he would be Immediately de
barred from his pulpit ministrations.
Therefore, my young friend, you
should desire to enter the gospel minis
try for these purifying and holy asso
ciations that will lift you up instead of
dragging you down.
Hemmed With Noble Influence*.
The gospel minister has the same
temptations as other men. Why, that
Is absurd. I do not believe I am what I
am because I am stronger than other
men. I believe I am what I am because
God has surrounded me by praying
men and women and hemmed me in
with noble Influences and bound me
hand and foot with the golden mana
cles of their petitions. If these holy as
sociates should be taken away from
my life I would tremble for wbat tbs
results might be. Suppose I were a
poor farmer elected to the state legis
lature. Suppose the lobbyists wanted
to purchase the right of way for a rail
road franchise and offered me a $5,000
bribe. Would 1 take* it? I do not say 1
would, hut 1 thank God Satan has nev
er been able to tempt me with the
chance. Suppose 1 were a Chicago po
lice captain on a small salary, living
every day in fear that my olliciul head
would be decapitated. Suppose that by
shutting my eyes upon a few houses of
evil resort I could have an income of
$10,000 a year. Would I take it? I do
not say that I would, hut I thank God
I have never bean placed in such a po
sition of temptation where I had the
chance. Supi>osp I wanted to become a
Pb ysieiaif Suppose I had to enter one
of our modern medical schools in which
are crowded among many students the
Infidel, the blasphemous and the lewd.
If I should take such a medical course
would I come out assure morally as I
did after I had livet*or three years in
a Christian seminary? My young
friend, if God calls you to he a lawyer
or doctor or legislator or police captain
or merchant go ahead and be what he
Intends you to be. He will give you
strength to resist any temptations that
may come in your way if you will only
ask him. But if he calls you to be a
Christian minister and you deliberately
turn a deaf ear to that call I tremble in
reference to your future. I tremble for
your spiritual life when you have to
face the temptations that beset the av
erage man in the outside world. I
tremble when you shall not have the
guarding, guiding, protecting influence
of praying men about you. such as sur
rounds the average life of the Christian
minister.
An Appeal to YnnnK Men.
I have preached this sermon, show
ing the joys, the spiritual safeguards
and the infinite usefulness of the gos
pel ministry, for two distinct reasons:
The first, there never was a greater
need than at the present time for
young men to enter the gospel pulpit.
A fexv years ago the capitalist, the
statesman, the merchant prince and
leading lawyers considered it an honor
to sit in the aldermanic chairs of our
great cities. Now, for the most part,
those positions are despised by the in
tellectual and financial leaders and arc
filled with professional politicians and
men who are weaklings and often dis
honest. Once there was a time when
the greatest honor that could come to
a family was the honor of a son dedi
cating his life to the gospel ministry.
Now the current of popular opinion
is running counter to this line of noble
service. Our strong young men, in
stead of entering the pulpit, are giving
their lives to law, to merchandise, to
railroads, to electrical sciences. Who
are to till the future pulpits of Amer
ica? “Give us men!” cry our theolog
ical professors. Their classes are grow
ing smaller year by year. “Give us
men!” cry the churches. “We cannot
get the right kind of men for our pul
pits.” “Give us men!” cry the synodical
missionaries. “The harvest is ripe, but
the laborers are too few.” It Is all
nonsense for some of our religious
writers to declare that the reason our
theological students are becoming less
and less in number year by year is be
cause we an* now getting quality in
stead of quantity. The reason our
seminaries an* becoming depleted is
because the young men who ought to
enter the ministry refuse to come.
Men! Men! We want men! We need
men for the gospel pulpits, to save the
sinful world.
• The second reason for preaching this
sermon is that I would appeal to those*
young men to enter the gospel ministry
who many yours ago heard the call
and who have stifled itt»y an indiffer
ent, wayward life. When my uncle, the
devoted missionary, Rev. John Tal-
mage of Amoy, China, was a boy of
twelve he read the life of David Brain-
erd. After closing the book he went to
my grandmother and said, “Mother, I
am going to be a missionary.” Time
passed on, and he entered college. He
lost his high ideal and led an indiffer
ent life. He never mentioned the word
minister from that day until toward
the end of his college career. Then the
old pledge came back. Then and there
on the night before his graduation
from Rutger's college, he gave himself
up anew to his glorious life promise.
Youug men, you who have heard this
call to the Christian ministry years
ago, will you not hear the call now?
Will you not be brave enough, noble
enough. Christian enough, to do what
Christ bids you do? The church needs
you. Christ (•alls you. Come, offer your
life and consecrate it at the altar of
Christian ministry.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to

after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
traveling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he en
countered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat, gave
him a very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera ami Diarrhoea Remedy as a

while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound sleep
for a fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure, and he can

The Little Children of the Rich.
It isn’t the unkempt little arabs who
play in street gutters that are mis
chievously mean and brutal. On Cen
tral park west, outside a palatial apart
ment house, a group of beautifully
j dressed children were playing. A pret
ty fourteen-year-old girl passed, her
long hair floating over her shoulders.
She was neatly garbed, but the apparel
of tbe rich children made her look
shabby, and she was weighted down
with a big package.
Suddenly a boy darted away from
tbe group and gave a violent tug to
her hair, which pulled her head back
ward at a most painful angle. She did
not glance around, but walked quietly
on. An Indignant woman raced after
her and said:
“Child, why didn’t you give that
young brute a good slap?”
A pair of lovely blue eyes were turn
ed on the speaker and quivering lips
steadied sufficiently to enable her to
say with quaint dignity, “I’d like to,
but it would be lowering myself to his
level.”
And as she went on tbe Isugbter of
