Who ever heard of such a title for a sermon on this text? Better call her “the poor widow,” “the friendless widow,” “the hopeless wid ow,” "the dying widow”—anything but "the rich widow.” This funeral proces sion winding its way out of the Syrian city is one of the most pathetic spec tacles of the gospel history. How much heartbreak is contained in those three phrases, “A dead man, the only son of ids mother, and she was a widow!” In Arizona is a mountain aptly named “Starvation peak.” There the Indians many decades ago drove the Spaniards and hemmed them iu and kept them until for the want of food the little band of living men were changed into a band of decomposing corpses. So this text is one of the “Starvation peaks” among the gospel hills. It is the place where a w ife first lost her husband, her breadwinner. Then it is the place where, during the struggle of widow hood, the mother had raised her boy so that he could be her support in her de clining years. And now a wife without her husband and a mother with only a cold body for her son is slowly wend ing her way to the cemetery. She w T as a wife and a mother only of the grave. “The rich widow?” Nonsense! Change the title. Call it “the poor widow’ of Starvation peak.” A Fitting Title. No, my brother, I want to keep the title I have chosen. I want to show how even a woman so desolate as the one iu the text may find consolation in life and iu the performance of her duty and in the sympathy of humanity, and, more than all, in the resources of divine power her life may become rich for herself and for others. I have seen too many adjectives hitched to this heroic and conquering nominative. I believe thousands and tens of thou sands of mothers who have been bereft of the companion wdio once stood with them at the marriage altar have at taint'd true and abiding wealth. They have been rich in all that makes life truly happy, great and good; rich in their opportunities to do a double serv ice in life. To their children they have become father as well as mother; rich in their inspiring examples of duties well done; rich In the faith w’itb which their trials led them to test the goodness and greatness of God; rich in the heights and depths and lengths and breadths of their love, and, above all, rich in eternal as well as temporal rewards. It is In order to gather a few “bbii bells” from off the graves of the dead husbands and fathers that I preach this sermon. I would ring these ilornl trophies in a great paean of praise that the widows, the numberless widows of tlto present day, who are facing the battle of life alone, might renew their strength and go on win ning victory after victory for them selves, their little ones and for Christ. The widow is rich iu her opportuni- ties of maternal usefulness; rich be cause all the physical, mental and spir itual resources of her nature are de veloped in the struggle which her lone liness involves; rich because for her children every word she speaks and every thought she thinks and every deed she performs shall bring forth its maximum of results for good or evil. For her offspring every mountain which she lias to climb can become a ; gold mine, and every thicket into which ! she has to plunge a bank of roses, and every shower of tears can return as a tossing, tumbling fountain, and every land for her can become a harvest field of yellow grain or of white checked, sweet scented clover tops. Literally, by taking away a wife’s husband, God makes it possible for a widow with children to make more out of her life, in a maternal sense, than in any other way. At once, by the mere fact of widowhood, she becomes the father, tlie mother, the breadwinner, the guide and the all in all for her offspring. Houored by God. Now, every one should want to make the most out of his life. Therefore, O widow, ought you not feel houored because God has singled you out as one of his favorite daughters for great and vital work? We stand upon Little Round Top, on the battlefield of Get tysburg, and look with pride at the monument erected there to the memory of Major General Gouverneur Warren. At that critical point he saved the Fed eral lines from being cut in twain by the Confederate forces. With the keen eye of a military engineer he saw that Little Round Top was the one spot about which the mortal struggle of Lee and Meade must be finally decided. And so, upon his own authority, he in trenched those heights and perhaps then and there saved the unity of our republic, which now stretches from sea to sea. Shall you not feel today, O widow, that as General Warren was chosen to stand on Little Round Top and save the Federal government so God has placed you on the little round top of your husband’s grave to save your home? A few years ago the United States—north, east, south and west—united Its many voices in prais ing the greatest of American jurists, John Marshall, who year after year as chief Justice of the supreme court ren dered the decisions which made it pos sible for the United States government at Washington to be wbat it is today. Shall you, O widow, not feel honored iu the same way as we honor John Marshall, since God has placed you in a position where your children ami your children’s children may be molded and started forth into Christian use fulness by the consecration and faith fulness of your life? You who have gone out to weep over your busbiind’s grave, I beg and plead with you not to consider your life a poverty stricken one. In the glorious opportunities which have come to you in reference to your children you are rich! You are magnificently and gloriously rich. God has made you sole guardian of your little ones. Maternal Opportunities. Oh. the paternal as well as the ma ternal opportunities which are offered to tlie consecrated Christian widow hood of the present century! Some time ago a beautiful faced lady was going through one of the great depart ment stores in Columbus, O. She saw there a large eyed, wistful looking cash boy, who was watching her and her son. “My child,” said she, “would you like to go home and be my little boy? There you could have money and play things and horses and carriages to make your life happy, as my little boy’s life is happy?” “I do not know, mum. whether 1 would like those tilings or not,” he answered. “Has your little boy a papa? If 1 go with you, will his papa be my papa? I want a papa. Because, mum, before my papa died I had all those things, and now that my papa is dead I have nothing.” Ah. yes, there was pathos, unfathomable pathos, in the answer of the little cash boy. But that answer is not true in refer ence to all fatherless children. When their fathers died they did not all lose everything. Their mothers not only re mained their mothers, but they became their fathers also. O woman who art a widow, I sympathize with you in your sorrow and your bard lot, but let me congratulate you, too, on tlie opportunity God has placed within your reach of honorably and heroically performing a double duty. In a pater nal as well as in a maternal sense you are accomplishing much for the tem poral and the eternal lives of your chil dren. The consecrated widow is rich in the kindnesses and sympathies which are shown to her by her friends and neigh bors; rich because the chalice of sor row which is placed at the lip is not entirely filled with acidities and bitter nesses and unsavory nux vomicas, but it is also saccharined and nectared with the helpful sympathy of her true friends which mingles in her cup of woe. The World !■ Kind. It is amazing how many kindnesses there are iu this world if only one stops to catalogue them. You can see those kindnesses manifested every where. A few years ago a man was caught in the crowd that surged into the ca»'s of the Brooklyn bridge. He was jammed this way and that. His hat %\as battered and crushed. The more he vehemently denounced the peo ple as savages the more he was hus tled and pushed along. When he was at last seated and was still complaining a gentleman next to him turned and said: “My friend, I am afraid that you have got into the condition of only looking upon the bad side of human na ture. Now, I have schooled myself to look upon the good side, and to help me in my task of looking upon the bright side every day I carry a note book and jot down every good thing I see people do to other people. For in stance, today on my way to the bridge my hat blew off. I chased it, but be fore I could get it three other men whom I had never seen before ran after that hat One of them caught it and brought it back to me. Now, that action was certainly unselfish on his part, and yet you can see the same un selfish act performed on any windy day. “As I was crossing City Hall park.” lie continued, “a woman in front of me lost her glove. Two newsboys saw it and ran to get it for her. That certain ly was unselfish. On my way down Broadway a truckman’s horse fell. Im mediately the drivers of three other trucks stopped their horses to help the man who was in difficulty. That also was unselfish. These are but little things, but everywhere you will sec men and women doing just such kind things to their neighbors. When this car stops, you will see four or five gen tlemen take their papers and give them to the newsboys for them to sell them over again. All these facts certainly show that the human race is not a collection of savages. My friend, you had better look upon the bright side of human nature and not dwell too much upon the dark side.” The Widow’* Riche*. The sermon which the Christian gen tleman preached In the cable car of the Brooklyn bridge is certainly true. Ev erywhere one can see many kindnesses manifested toward those who are in distress, if those people in distress are worthy of human kindness. And so, widow, though you may have had your bumps and knocks, as that Indignant passenger had who was trying to get into the train, though you may have had injustices practiced upon you—for thieves and murderers from time im memorial have always felt that widows and orphans were their legitimate prey —you have also had many kindnesses shown you and yours. In old English folklore there was supposed to be In Alderley Edge a great cavern. And In this cavern was concealed, said the legend, nine hundred and ninety and nine horsemen, equipped and ready to come forth and fight for any leader who would blow for them the right bugle call. No sooner did your husband die and tbe cemetery bell had tolled tin knell when his liody was carried to Its last resting place than that bell seem ed to call forth hundreds of helpers to your side from recesses as dark id ih< caverns of Alderney Edge. Every tru and faithful widow always gathers around her true and faithful friends. The consecrated widow is rich in the heights and depths and intensities of the love she bears toward those who are dependent upon her. It is one of the inevitable laws of tills world that we generally value an article just in proportion to what it is worth to us If it costs nothing, we care for it but little. If it costs much, we value it much. I enter your home. You show me the results of your travels. You say: “This is a rug I bought in Damas cus. Here is a beautiful piece of ivory l found in India. Here is a boomerang of Australia. Yonder is a trinket I picked up in Fompeii. But this picture is my treasure. It was painted by a Spanish master and was placed upon the walls of a Mexican cathedral. One night that picture was cut out of its frame and carried away, as Dolly Mad ison ordered George Washington’s pic ture to be cut out of its frame when the English invaded the national cap ital in 1812. That picture must be wortli at least $20,000. I myself paid $10,000 for it. Yes, I value that picture above all my other possessions. It cost me so much money.” Self Sacrifice. But though the value of some articles may be judged by the criterion of sil ver and gold others are sometimes judged by tlie higher standard of flesh and blood. If in order to save your country you had to sacrifice upon the field of battle an arm or a leg or an eye. would you not on account of that sacrifice love your country more than if, like John Jacob Astor. you merely made to it the gift of an artillery bat tery, or, like old Cornelius Vanderbilt, you fitted out for it a man-of-war? If in older to save your child, who had been gripped with tbe poisonous bite of a dangerous serpent, you had placed your mouth against the bleeding lips of the wound and sucked that poison into your own system, would you not love that child more for whom you were willing to imperil your life than if you had given to her a mere offering of silver and gold? Y’es, yes! Of course you would. The law is universal. The greater the sacrifice we make for our loved ones the greater becomes our love for them. This premise is granted. Where, then, can you find richer, deeper, truer sacri fices and therefore richer love than that exhibited by a widowed mother toward her helpless children? Tender ly as you and 1 love our children, does our love glow with such fervent heat as does that of the widowed mother who has toiled and contrived and de nied herself for their welfare? In or der to raise them she has to pay for their education and food with the price of blood. Does not that young girl’s graduation day address mean more to her mother, who perhaps had to scrub for it as well as sew together the white dress in which it was delivered? Dur ing the civil war a soldier boy’s arm was amputated. After the lad came out from under the influence of the an aesthetic he asked the surgeon if he might see his arm. The nurse handed it to him. The boy looked the arm over very carefully as he said: “Good- by, old arm. You have been a good friend to me. Those fingers have work ed for me very hard.” Then turning, he said to the surgeon: “Doctor, do not think I am a coward or that I regret the sacrifice. If necessary I would cut off my other arm to save my country. I never knew what if truly meant to love my flag until I bespattered it with my own blood.” So, O widow, by your very sacrifices I see with what intensi ty you love your children because of the self denial and the toil you have given them. By the very sacrifices which you have made for their phys ical, intellectual and spiritual develop ment I congratulate you upon the heights and depths and intensities of your maternal affections. It is one joy to plant a garden within a stone wall inclosure for your own eyes to see. It is a greater and a holier happiness to plant a flower garden that others may enjoy also. Certainty of God’* Promise*. Tlie consecrated widow is rich be cause she has been able by personal experience to prove the certainty and faithfulness of God’s promises. A life boat is sometimes used as a pleasure craft along the shores of Massachusetts and Long Island. You can see the fishermen take and rig in it a small sail and go spinning over the waters, while they laugh and joke as they draw in the bluetish or the shad. So people sometimes use the gospel life boat merely for a pleasure craft. When the sky is clear and the sea smooth they set sail for a frolic. But, oh. my friends, the lifeboat is a far different craft when on a stormy night the life saving men launch it into the smif to fight their way out to the ship aground in the offing, where it is being shat tered to pieces by the ceaseless bom bardments of the mighty seas. And the promises of God, out of which the gospel lifeboat Is made, mean far more to a widowed mariner sailing the seas of life alone than they do to the young daughter who has always been shielded from every storm. And yet, mother, 1 would ask you a pertinent question, which I know you will an swer well. Though you may have buried your husband many years ago. was there ever a time when if you trusted In God his love and protection and care failed you? Was there ever a time when Christ was not willing to stand by the cradle of your living child, as in olden times he once stood by the bier of one who was the only son of Ids mother, and she was a widow. Oh, the blessed enjoyment of having had the opportunity of fully testing the love and care and the gentleness of a protecting God! Many years ago at a large Infidel meeting in England, at which Charles Bradlaugh. the noted English agnostic, was speaking, an old. gray haired woman arose. As she looked about her she slowly said to the speuk-r: “Sir, it is very easy for you to attack the Best Friend I ever hud. Ycu do not know bi,n as I know him. He came into my life many years ago I once knew him merely as an ac quaiutance, but after my husband died lie was more to me than an acquaint ance—he was a friend, u blood friend. Sir, that friend helped me to feed and clothe my babies. That friend gave me physical strength to go on when I i thought 1 must die. That friend, sir, is j my dear Saviour. That is what my i Christ has done for me. Now. sir, what has your infidelity been able to do for you?” O mother, bereft of your bus- band,’it bus been a blessed opportu nity for you to test the greatness and goodness of God! Do not tell me you are poor. You are rich; rich hemi spherical!)’ and celestially rich; rich as God is rich. Heavenly Reward*. But though iu a divine sense the eon- \ secrated widow is rich, ycH. she shall be far richer in the next world. Wom an, whom have you loved of all hu man beings tbe best on earth? “Well,” you say, “that is a hard question to answer. I loved my mother and father in one way and my children in another way and my sis ters and brothers In another way But, taking it all in all, I think I loved my husband best, truly best. We were one in thought, one in life and one in everything. My one ambition iu life was to please him.” Yes, I think your answer is correct. The relations be tween a husband and a wife are so close that you were one. and your one desire was to live for him and to please him. Now, my sister bereft of her husband, when you reach heaven and meet the long separated father of your babies, do you not feel be will be pleas ed to know how you have worked and slaved for his flesh and blood? when you reach heaven, will you not be rich in the knowledge that he appreciates all you have done for your children and his? When one of my aunts—a widow—was dying, she looked up at those gathered about her bedside and said. “Now, I hope your father, Steven, will be satisfied with what 1 have done for his children.” Yes, yes, woman, your husband will truly be satisfied. You have done your task well. It has been a hard journey to travel alone, but at the end of the journey you will be rich in his blessing as well as that of your Saviour, the dear Christ. Joy* of Reunion. Most of us know what the rapture of an earthly reunion means, but such a welcome will pale into insignificance before the heavenly embrace of a risen father and a long separated wife. After the famous battle of Five Forks General George E. Pickett of Gettysburg fame was reported to have been killed. Day after day his wife sat with her baby iu her arms in the silence of despair. But one day there rode up the lane of the Virginia home a familiar figure. He cried to his horse: “Whoa, Lucy! Whoa!” With that the mother, with a wild cry of joy, arose and said: “George! George! Js that you?” “I do not know how to describe it,” wrote Mrs. Pickett, “the peace, the bliss of that moment! It was too deep and too sacred to be translated into words.” And so, my widowed friend, when in the heavenly reunion you shall greet your dear one, carrying with you your children and his, the sacredness of that moment will be too deep and holy to be translated into words. Thus, widows of Nain and widows of Europe and America and widows wher ever you may be, I call you rich. Go ahead bravely and truly, fighting the battles that are before you. Christ shall be your protector in this world. Your rewards for duties well done await you in the next. The truest way for you to be true to your dead hus band is for you to be true to the noble tasks God has given to you to do here. Remember that Christ knows all about a widow’s troubles. He sympathized with the sorrowing widow of Nain. In his great heart there is sympathy for all who struggle and suffer, and the divine help and consolation are never more generously bestowed than upon those who bear that heaviest of human bereavement—widowhood. This love and all the blessings it brings will make you rich indeed. [Copyright. 1903, by Louis Klopsch.] Over-Work Weakens - Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the bVoa in your body passes through your kidneys or.oe every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney tr.oble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beais, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned biocd through veins and arteries. I. used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-, cent and ooe-dollar siz-[ es. You may. have a sample bctt.'e by mail free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer 8t Co., Binghamton. N. Y. RYDALE’S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system I by means of the blood. This fact ex- , plains why Malaria is hard to cure by ! the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and | build up the blood, but do not destroy I the germs that cause the disease. Kydale's Tonic has a specific effect ; upon the intestines and bowels, freeing | them from all disease breeding mi- ■ crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.

Gaston Larrournet, a French con temporary raises the question whether there is anything in the nature of lit erary pursuits that makes against Ion gevity. The answer Is, of course, that essentially there is nothing, but that accidentally there may be a great deal. That the actual worry of composition wears out the frame prematurely is more than the facts warrant any one in saying. In every age and in every country literature has been well repre sented by hale and hearty veterans. Legouve, Mommsen, Tolstoi, Tennyson, Whittier, Oliver Wendell Holmes and George Meredith are the most obvious names on a list that every reader will be able to supplement. So long as it Is possible to compile such a list without even stopping to think the most bitter enemies of literature can hardly class It with unhealthy trades.
