Pastor of Jefferson Park Prssby- terllkn Church, Chicu.go - ■ 1 - ■ ♦ Chicago, Aug. 9.—In this sermon the preacher suggests a new solution of the much vexed “servant question” which shouki appeal to housekeepers and heads of families everywhere. The text Is Psalm exxili, 2, “As the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mis tress.” Two weeks ago “The Privilege of Be ing a Consecrated Domestic” was my subject. Today I preach from another standpoint of this vitally important theme—namely, “The Relations of Wives, Mothers and Housekeepers to Their Servants.” We would try to show that the antagonisms and diifi- eulties and estrangements existing between the parlor and the kitchen are due to faults upon both sides. It is easy enough for the complaining housewife to develop such keenness of censorious vision that she can see in numerable imperfections in her serv ant's life, but when plucking the motes from out of her humble sister's eyes it is not always so easy for the mistress to perceive the beam, the huge destructive beam, projecting from under her own overarching eyebrows. That the housekeeper as well as the servant can lie negligent in her duty there is no doubt. The psalmist, as a spiritual diagnostician of the heart's weaknesses, asserts it. lie figuratively seems to place the mistress as a proto type before her domestics. Then, as a young artist crosses the sens to study at the feet of. the old masters and sits day in and day out copying a Raphael’s “Sistine Madonna” or a Paul Vero nese's “Last Supper” or a Rubens’ “Descent From the Cross” or a Michael Angelo's “Last Judgment,” the psalm ist raises the mistress upon a pedestal as a model for her servants. Day in and day out the actions of the parlor are being duplicated in the kitchen. Adam Clark, the great commentator, interprets these words of my text in the following way: “As servants look to their masters and mistresses to see how they’do their work, that they may do it in the same way," so may we cor rect some of the evils found in the kitchen by exposing the evils practiced in the parlor. All virtues are not clothed in broadcloth. All feminine un faithfulness and injustice do not warm themselves in-nr a kitchen stove or center in a stupid and stolid head with a waitress’ cap or nestle In the selfish heart of the girl who, wearing a nurse’s apron, pushes the baby’s car riage along the avenue. If the bead of the house wishes her servants to be faithful and true to her then she must first set an example of faithfulness. She must be true and kind and loving | and Christianlike to her servants and : to all the people with whom she comes ) in contact in her domestic*? walk of ; daily life. 'Inculcate Honeuty.by Precept. The housekeeper is her servant’s i model. That implies that the mistress | must be honest if she wants her serv- ! ants to be honest. * Plato, the philoso- I pher, once tried to convey the idea 1 that an evil man’s dods could be con- j cealed, at least for a time. He illus- i t rated this thought by the story of the ! fabled Gyges’ ring, which could make I the false actions of its wearer invisible ; to the naked eye. ‘‘Thus,” wrote i Plato the Greek, “the truly honest man ; is the one who would be honest at all times when he could be dishonest and his dishonesty never be found out.” But | is such a contingency possible? Who can ever be sure that his dishonesty ' Is safely hidden? The eyes of rivals, | of subordinates, of employees, are keen and see more than we know. They are apt to imitate, too, both the good and the bad, so that one wrongdoer may cause deterioration through whole circles of his social inferiors. In the home, as in business, the example of dishonesty has always the tendency to recoil on the wrongdoer. The mer chant who connives at his clerk’s cheating of the customers in his in terests must not be surprised if the clerks cheat him in their own interest. If a fanner knowingly sends false weights to market, and when be is packing a barrel of apples places the good apples ui>on the top of the barrel and a lower grade of fruit beneath, that fanner is teaching his farm hands to be deceitful In their relations to him when they are gathering the fruit. He is teaching his men to lie as he has lied and be dishonest as be was dis honest. If the bank olficinlH criminally misplace the? institution’s trust funds, there is likely to come a time when one of those bank employees will default, and in the emptied safe of that bank the sins of that financial Institution will, like the proverbial chickens, come home to roost. A step further! If a housewife will bid her waiting maid answer the front door bell and tell the would be caller that she is out, when she is in, that miHtr<««H is teaching her servant to be a liar In all things as well ns In part. If a wife is false in her dealings with her grocer and butcher and washer woman nod false In her financial deal ings with her servants, she need not be surprised if the laundress steals the stray handkerchiefs and collars and the cook sinfully wastes the but ter and filches the cupboard, and per haps goes so far as tc sell the potatoes and the eggs. If a housewife, to pro tect henelf, is unjust to her servants, and turns them off at a moment’s no tice when she is leaving for the coun try vacation, theiu she should not grumble If her servants treat her In the same way. Di*lionei)ty la Coutnarioua. Dishonesty is contagious. Dishon esty is an Immoral germ which is apt to spread through a whole family as the diphtheria germ often in the olden times used to destroy all the children of one household. The sinful plague of dishonesty and untruthfulness and unfaithfulness does not always enter a home by the back door. It is some times comfortably installed in the boudoir long before it appears in the servants’ quarters, and its first nap in a household is taken upon the parlor sofa and not by resting in a kitchen chair. The mistress, in spite of her self, is an exemplar to the domestic. Very often when the housewife is find ing fault with her servant she is de nouncing the malformed results of her own evil life. The housekeeper is the domestic’s model also in the matter of sympathy. If she wishes the servants to be sym pathetic with her troubles, then the housekeeper must be sympathetic with theirs. Her knowledge of her servants ought not to be limited to their serv ice. She should take an interest in their personal concerns and give them coun sel and help in their difficulties. Trials are the common lot of our race. The trials of the household will be all the easier to bear if the housekeeper and her servant meet them with clasped hands, each calling the other her sister. Servants sometimes seem to have no sympathy with the wear and tear and the sorrows and the sicknesses of their housekeeper’s life. They seem to be foreigners dwelling for a little while under the roof of a home with nothing in common between themselves and their mistress. Mr. Beecher once de- scribed a summer jaunt through Ger many. He said that it was one of the strangest experiences he ever had, be cause up to that time he had never placed his foot upon European soil. All about him were men and women living a distinct life of their own. They bought and they sokl, traveled in rail road trains and ate in hotels. These lasiple livad alongside of him. Yet he was a thousand miles away from them. He could not speak their language. He had nothing with which to draw him and them together. So some of the servants living under our roofs seem to speak a foreign tongue. They never seem to become “familized.” They do not care what happens to us in any way. If death comes, or sickness comes, or ^reat trouble comes, they will heartlessly leave us at a momeait’s notice and let us get along the best way we can. Mutual Sympathy. But, housekeepers, why shouki you expect your domestics to sympathize with you in your time of trouble? You say that your cook loft you during that awful crisis when your husband was hovering between fife and death on account of typhoid fever. But have you ever sympathized with your serv ant in her sickness? Tell me frank ly. have you ever stopped for one mo ment to realize that you had a human l>eing. an immortal soul, working for you in the kitchen, or have you regard ed her only as a little cog in the domes tic machinery, which can be thrown away as soon as it is useless? Your eyes have been red with weeping from sitting up by your baby’s crib. Did you think to ask why your chamber maid's eyes were red with weeping on the day after she received that let ter with a foreign postmark? You have had a hard financial struggle to get along and make ends meet. You have complained again and again because the female help is so wasteful. You say: “They will let the furnace go out, and then you must start it up again with extra coal and wood. They will not turn down the g:*s In the dining room and the parlor and in the halls, and they do not care if the bills run up. They will throw away good meat, because they are too indolent to cook it in another form.” But, my sister, did you ever stop to sympathize with your servant’s financial struggle? Some of those girls are humble heroines. We think of a heroine as a Grace Darling, rowing away from her father’s lighthouse, in the teeth of an awful storm, to save a shirnvreek<?d crew. Under the plain dress of your humble domestic there may be boating as brave a heart as that, of the fiunous English girl. Why is she working and so carefully economizing? For herself? Oh, no. She is perhaps sending home all her wages to support her old par ents or to help educate her orphaned brothers and sisters. If you were to go into your servants’ room today per haps you would find they did not have sufficient clothes to keep them warm. Why shouki your servants sympathize with your troubles if you care so little for theirs? Duty of the IloOMekeeper. Sympathy, God given, practical sym pathy, can break down many a barrier which today separates the kitchen from the parlor. Christopher Colum bus’ life proves what well directed sympathy can do. After the great Genoese mariner had returned from his voyages of discovery jealousies arose, lie was thrown into prison and man acled with irons. The effects of these persecutions was to make Columbus' heart as dead its stone. A popular writer of that day described the new world ami stok* away Its rightful name. The two continents which shouki bear the title of Columbia are calk'd America. Columbus said noth ing. His enemies Hod about btm and called him a traitor. Cohrmbos said nothing. But one day be was brought before the Spanish throne. Be came into the royal palace a stern faced man. He looked np and sew the eyes of Queen Isabella wet with sym pathetic tears. At onoe this strong and sullen hero wavered. Be knelt before the throne and buried his face In his hands and wept until his fmpc shook with emotion. Bymparthy, God given sympathy, placed Columbus at Isabella’s feet; not the chains, not the persecutions, not the upbraidings, not the indifferences. So, my sister, if you expect your servants to be sympathetic with 3 r ou, be as Queen Isabella, who sympathized with Columbus’ troubles. You must sympathize with theirs. The housekeeper is the servant’s model also in devotion to the home. The servants will inevitably fail to appreciate the dignity and nobility of domestic service unless their mis tresses feel that the highest honor any woman can have is to preside over and dedicate her life to her home. The name of home ought to have for every true housewife a charmed sound. It ought to be spelled by her, as her grandmothers used to spell it, in many letters of gold. It ought to bo spelled in tongues of llamo, glowing above the hearthstone. It ought to be spelled In a word of eleven letters, “opportunity;” in another word of nine letters, “hap piness.” It ought to be spelled in two words, the one of eight and the other of three letters, “maternal joy.” It ought to be spelled in another wprd of seven letters, “liberty.” The true wife should never want to be anywhere but under the shadow of her home. But though Mary Anderson, the queen of the American stage, gladly abdicated her theatrical throne in order to be queen of her domestic fireside, a dan gerous tendency of this age is for wives and mothers to vacate their do mestic thrones. They want to hand over the kitchen to their cooks. They want to leave their children under the exclusive control of the nurses. They want to be separated from their hus bands, on account of their clubs. They want to be liberally educated in every thing on earth, except in the old fash ioned way of learning bow to be a good housewife and mother. llouoralilt- Employment. Now, housekeepers, is it right to ex pect your son ants to be proud to work in the kitchen when you yourself are ashamed to be found doing kitchen work? Is it more of an intellectual ac complishment to be able to speak poor French than it is to cook good bread? Lord Aberdeen, the governor general of Canada, did not think so. A few years ago. in a public speech, he said that the most pleasant experience of his sojourn in America was in the fol lowing incident: He was, in an oliicial capacity, traveling through one of the Canadian provinces and was stopping at a prominent official’s home. After an elaborate meal, perfectly cooked and perfectly served, be turned to the hostess and congratulated her upon her cook. With that the lady’s face light ed up with pleasure, as she answered : “My lord, I thank you for your com pliment. Your words of praise sink deep into my heart. This afternoon our regular cook was taken sick and so my daughter took her place. She will Ik? in presently from the kitchen. You can then, face to face, congratu late her upon her success.” Is.k a disgrace, as many women seem to think it is, for a mother to be seen wheeliug^hor baby carriage along the street with her own flesh aiKl blood in that carriage? For my own part I think such a public sight of a wife and mother is a far more honorable one than for such a woman to be seen car rying around a pet dog or to be seen out driving with a French i>oodle by her aide. You may smile if you will at the figure I have drawn, but I say unto you, oh, wives and mothers, that you can never get your servants to ap preciate the nobility of a domestic call ing until you yourself fully realize that the greatest work and the most honor able work you can have is that which is to Ik* found within the four walls of a consecrated home. The housekeeper is her servants’ model. Then she must give to them her love as well as her sympathy. “Oh, no,” some housewife answers, *T conkl not love my servants. I could sym pathize with them in their troubles, but 1 could not love tltern. Why, If I loved them I should have to receive |hem Into the ‘holy of holies' of my heart. I should in one senee have to make them part of my own family. I cannot place my servants side by side with my children.” Yes, my sister, yon can love as well as sympathize with your domestics. You can give them your heart as well as your hand. You can make them part of your house hold. You can look upon your domestic help in the same way that King Solo mon looked upon his. He was verbally painting the ideal condition of his home when he wrote, “And had servants born in my home.” That means, as I take it, that the servants were part of himself. If any troubies should come those servants would cling to him and love him on account of the love with which he loved them. You can learn to love your servants Just the same as your servants can work for you from a higher motive than that of getting money. They can leant to love you. Cord* of Affection. Housewives, if yon will only learn to love your servants and make their in terests your interests, that love would be returned to you tn a thotsand bless ings. We can prove this by the silver cords of affection which bound some of the southern planters to thstr black' slaves. Did not those slaves return their masters’ love bff a noble devo tion? There was many and many a woman In the south wfa), after her husband had been shot tn the civil war, woukl have starved to death had not the strong limbed negroes who worked for her as "slaves of the law” contin ued, of their own free will, to wort for her as "slaves of love.” There was many a wounded Confederate soKtter who would have died bad not his body servant, who easily could have escaped Into rhe northern lines, gladly and Will ingly and prayerfully nursed him back to health and strength. There is man: a servant working today as a hireling in some home who If she was loved by her mistress would return a wealth of affection and devotion such as she ! herself does not believe herself capable of giving. The true Interpretation of ; love means simply this: If you love j your servants, you will take them into ! your life and make their interests your interests. And by your loving them : they will let you creep into their hearts and make your interests their interests. ; The housekeeper is the domestic model also in religion. Therefore by her life she should teach her servants that religion is not a mere sham, but a reality, and that the noblest of all lives is that consecrated to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. It has been said that ‘ no man is a hero to his valet.”. Therefore “no mistress could be a true Christian exemplar for her servant.” That statement is only par- | tinlly true. No housewife, if she is leading an insincere life, can have a true spiritual influence over her serv ants. The nearer you come to the huge piece of rock in the Yellowstone park, ! which in the distance seems to be the face of a man, the more you see its jagged corners and distorted featmes. The nearer a servant comes to an in- | sincere mistress the more she is re pulsed by her pretensions to religion; j but the nearer a domestic comes to a pure, true, noble woman, who is ear nestly and prayerfully trying to follow out the teachings of the Christ love, the more she realizes the importance of liv- ing for eternity and not for time; for Christ, and not for pleasure; for pres ent duty, and not for a transient whim. The greatest cause of unfaithfulness and dishonesty In the kitchen is the fact that your servant girl is not con- i verted to Christ. Perhaps the chief | reason why your servant is not con verted is that she does not see you, her mistress, a professing Christian, liv ing the Christian life you ought to live. My sister, is it not time for you to turn over a new leaf and start afresh for Christ? Is it not a good re solve to try to settle this “servant question” once for all by surrender ing yourself, body and mind and soul, to the service of your Master? The Servant of All. The spiritual influence which a eon- sccratt*d Christian woman can have owr the life of her servant was well shown by Rev. Francis E. Clark of the Christian Endeavor society, lie told this beautiful story soon after his re turn from China: The wife of an | I American missionary, who was massa cred in the late Chinese uprising, was one day teaching a Sunday school class, among whom was one of her Chinese | servants. This servant girl, by coming in contact with her mistress, was not only l<*d to the foet of Christ, but also was led to believe that her faithful mistress was her true spiritual ad viser. So this day the young girl looked ! up into the face of this Christian lady and said: “Missionary, as you talk about the great joys of heaven I would like to ask you a question. Will we know each other when we reach heav en? Will you know your father and mother and husband and little chil dren? Will you know me and I know you?” “Yes.” answered the Christian lady. "Then, missionary,” said the poor Chinese servant, “you have been | so kind to me that when I get to heaven I am going to ask Jesus to just let me sit by your side and hold your hand forever and ever and ever.” Oh, mis tresses! Oh. housewives and house- keeiMTs, In your dealings with your servants may you reveal the same gen tle Christian life that the martyred Christian lady showed to her house- Imld. In your prayers, in your conse cration, in your family altars, in the purity of your life, may you always help your household servants to look beyond the grave and to look up. Then, when your domestics, through your Christian example, walk hand in hand with Jesus Christ there will be no “servant question.” Why? There shall* be no unfaithful and slothful do- ibestics. Housewives and housekeepers, heed well the importance of consecrating your lives to Christ, not only for your own sake, but also for the sake of your servants. Remember that It is far easier for you to commit,a sin against those whom you suppose to bo lower than you than it is against those whom yon kupjk*** are above you. It is eashM* for a parent to sin against a child than for the child to defy a par ent. It Is easier for a king to do an open wrong to a subject than for a subject to flagrantly sin against a king. And remember, further, that God Judges our actions Just as much by how we treat our cattle as our mas ters, our underlings as our employers, our servants as our husbands and wiv'*s. May the Spirit inspire every housewife to five such a holy life that her servants can well take her as a spiritual model and can see in her face a reflection of the loving smile of Jesus Christ, who willingly became the serv ant of all.
