Neither person al strength nor heroic valor can avail him without effective weapons in a conflict against an armed"foe. The mii- itary chiefs have, learned that the is sue of a campaign depends as much on the perfection and precision of the weapons as on the vigor and prowess of the soldier. In the Austro-I’russian war it was not so much the valor of the soldier or the strategic skill of the gen erals that gave Prussia the victory as the fact that the Prussian army had the needle gun while the Austrians carried the old fashioned muzzle load er. Nor can moral qualities take the place of modem equipment. “Thrice armed,” says the dramatist, “is lie who hath ids quarrel just," but neither jus tice nor righteousness can save a cause if the champions of it neglect the ma terial appliances of military science. No general ever had more implicit faith in divine power than had Oliver Cromwell, but even he did not ignore the necessity for human precautions. “Trust in (jod,” he said to ids valiant Ironsides, "and keep your powder dry.” Fortitude and courage are needed now as ever in an army, but the soldier without effective arms is mere food for powder. Bunker Hill had to be evacuated by sions or bi ;inesses. And we also find 'many young men forcing themselves to 1 take up a line of life work for which j they are entirely unfilled merely be- j cause their fathers won fame and for- | tune in tiiose walks of life. Saul's armor was appropriate lo ids j magnificent frame. 11 is son Jonathan may have been able to wear it. There i is no reason why if a man is fitted by nature and mental powtjr to follow in his father's f >otsteps he should not on- ! ter the profession his father adorned and tight in ins father’s armor. There 1 are men who have made a greater sue- | cess than their fathers in the same j field. When we study history we find ! that men who were great ministers, lawyers, doctors, artists, authors and 1 merchants have bad sons who became 1 even greater ministers, lawyers, doc tors, artists, authors and merchants. Uamilcar was a great Carthaginian general. He was the parent of Hanni bal, who was a greater general than his noble sire. There were two great Scipios, father and sou. Which was the greater it is impossible to tell. Samuel D. Gross and 11. L. Pancoast and Lewis A. Sayre were the great American surgeons of their times. They all had sons who became just as great as they were. Lyman Beecher's fame is no greater than that of his son, Hen ry Ward Beecher. Thomas Moran be longs to a family of artists who are all masters of the brush. Charles Wes ley, the hyumologist, had a son who for years was the most eminent organ- : ist of all Europe. Walter Damrosch and Frank Damrosch are treading in , the footsteps of their gifted father, Dr. , Leopold Damrosch. Because a father; is a great musical genius that does not prove that his son or sous may not be- J come as great musical masters as their | sires. Lord Chatham was premier of England. His sou, William Pitt, was | premier also. But, though genius in i tors, ami they expected their fathers' names and Influence to push them to success. God meant these doctors'sons o be merchants or s Jdiers or mechan ics or sailors. Young man. I care not whose son you may lie. And out what G d in ended you to la*. It makes but little differciuc what your father wants you to bo. What lias God fitted you to he? Do not lie a man made lawyer, doctor, minister, merchant or mechan ic. Be tt God made David with his sling. Do not try to fight the battle of life in your father's armor. Gather your own ammunition down by the rip- piing brook of God's inspiration. But tin* errors with which young men choose their line of work are no more reprehensible than the means some of us use after our professions and career in life have been selected. We then show no more common sense in our choice of weapons with which we are to accomplish that work than if the explorer Robert Edwin Peary should try to roach the north pole in ji sail boat fashioned after the hull of the Santa Maria, the flagship of Christo pher Columbus, or to fight a modern war with out of date weapons like some of those antiques to be found in the British museum. It would be a mistake for ministers to say: "W* will not talk to the people in a plain common sense way, as Christ talked to ids audience in parable. We will not draw our illustrations from the incidents <if daily life and introduce those fresh illustrations into our prac tical sermons, as Christ did when he talked about the thieves on the Jericho road, or about the woman who lost a part of her wedding dowry. But we will gather our materials from past ages and from the writers of old and from the sins of the Jewish people and not from the sins of the American peo ple, who live at our very door.” There are many doing this. The result is there are hundreds of preachers who do not wield any modern “slings.” They do not preach r.s Christ would have them preach. They are ready to talk about the lily of the valley and the rose of Let me Illustrate my thought In a simple way: When you were a little cnlld the first intellectual passion your parents ivognized in you was your love for music. If some one sat down to play at the piano and you were cry ing you imnuKliately ceased to cry. As soon as you were able you climbed up on Jbe liiiidc sbi d ami began to pick out the different notes with your chub by lingers. For hours and hours you can sit and listen to music. People say you are a born musician. If I were you I would develop that talent for Christ. I would go and sing and play in every sickroom I could enter. I would go to hospital and mission hall and church choir loft. To sing and to play is for you to wield a David’s sling. Develop that talent, brother. Develop it for Christ. What is your talent for Christ? Well, I Clink in your case it is a power over little children. When you tell them stories they will listen. You weave the same strong spell about them that Eugene Field wove. If I were you 1 would not spend most of my time learning how to sew. When you pick up a needle all your fingers are thumbs. Develop your God given power to bring children to Christ. That, O man, O woman, is your God given sling. Develop YoOr Talent. What is your talent for Christ? You think you have not any? You say: "I cannot write or sing or play or preach or make money. 1 am useless. 1 have not even one talent, let alone ten.” Oh, yes, you have; you have a very great talent. But you can develop that talent even more than you can imagine. Your talent, as far as I can make out, is to live in the background of life and encourage other people to do their work. It is very easy for you to say pleasant tilings. Keep on saying them. Keep on your inspiring mission. Let the elder in the prayer meeting know how much his prayer has comforted you. Let your minister know how much his gennons help you. The tired mother wants you to tell her how fine ly her boys and girls are doing.

Twice did the charging British lines break and fall back before the withering tornado of shot pouring into their ranks, but at the third charge the American soldiers had to turn and flee. Their powder was gone. They were helpless then before the attacks of the advancing enemy. It has been said that Custer and his brave band were over- p iwored at Little Big Horn river, Mon tana. by the Sioux Indians because tlicir ammunition was exhausted. The fall of Khartum under “Chinese” Gor don was largely due to the same lack of powder and bullets. A soldier with out effective weapons in his hand is as helpless before the attack of ids ene mies as is the lamb in the slaughter house when the butcher is about to cut open the animal’s throat with the keen edge of the kuife. Hon Davitl Wji* Aruietl. This fact was recognized in ancient times. Before the discovery of gunpow der had made hand to hand conflicts so rare as they are now soldiers were clad from head to foot in armor to protect them from the blow of the sword or hattlenx or the thrust of the spear. Tims when David, the shepherd boy, wont out to fight the Philistine giant It s emed a matter of ordinary precaution t.,;.i he be covered with such armor as was then in use. It seemed the rashest temerity for him to go into the fight wearing his ordinary shepherd dress. King Paul said: “I will let him go forth and fight in my armor. My helmet shall protect ids forehead. My coat of mail shall cover ids chest. My sword, keen as a Damascus blade, with Its jeweled idit, shall be In his band. Come, armor bearer, place my armor upon the champion.” This offer of Saul’s was an embar rassment. The young shepherd boy was unaccustomed to the cumbrous armor. But the king’s offer must not be rejected by a loyal subject, so lie submitted to be girded with the coat of mail and the helmet to protect his head. He must have looked as ridicu lous as the pale, thin, consumptive Alexander II. Stephens, that giant of mental power and great heart, appear ed in Ids multitudinous wrappings of outer garments. When Lincoln saw him at Hampton Roads he said to his secretary of state, “Seward, did you ever see in your life such a pile of corn liuskings wrapped about one thin ear?” “Why,” said David, "I cannot fight in this armor. Saul may use these I weapons, but I am not Saul. Give me my sling, with which I am accustomed to protect my sheep. Let me choose my own stones out of the brook for ammunition. Let me fight for Israel with the talent God has given to me to use.” My text says: "And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these, for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.” David did right. The man who fights the great battle of life with the natural weapons God has given to him will win. The man who tries to fight the battle of life in some other man’s armor will fall every time. The purpose of tills sermon is to point out some of the useless weapons with which men go forth to battle—not useless weapons perhaps for others, but useless for our selves. because they belong to another's armory and not to ours. I'hinK His Fnlher’s Weapons. A young man, in the first place, makes a great mistake in trying to fit his father’s helmet upon Ids head and cover Ids chest with ids father’s coat of mail and unsheathe ids father’s sword for the battle of life merely be cause they once* belonged to his father. When a man lias made a big success .is a minister or lawyer or doctor or artist or musician or merchant or rae- tl:e American troops not because they would not tight.

Twice t 0 son and be inherited, that, does not and tea as well as against the wealthy prove that all sous are fitted by brain and temperament to fight the battle In their fathers’ armor or to achieve with the same sword victories such as their fathers won. Great In Different Field. The son of a .great genius may be as great a man as his father, but in u different sphere. He cannot wear his father’s armor, but he can wear armor of another kind in which he may win victories in a different field. Oliver Wendell Holmes was one of the most beloved writers In American history'- His son is a great man, but he is not a great writer. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., is a member of the highest judicial bench of the world. He is an honored associate justice of the supreme court of tin* United States. Judge Joseph Story had one of the greatest legal minds this nation ever produced. In his class room at Harvard many who afterward became great lawyers sat at his feet to learn of lids modern Gama liel. Judge Story had a sou who be came one of tin* greatest of America’s sculptors- William Wetmore Story. Here we find the laws of heredity changed. A great lawyer has a poet and sculptor for a sou, while in Oliver Wendell Holmes’ case we find u poet who lias a great lawyer for a son. What is true in reference to law and poetry is also true iu reference to the ministry. Great ministers have had millionaire who Is living a double life and Is breaking the marital vows which he once made to the young girl when the twain at the marriage altar became one. David Might Have Failed. What we say about church work we say about every other kind of work. Young man, do not do a thing as a law yer or doctor or merchant merely be cause other lawyers or doctors or mer chants have been accustomed In the past to do that thing and In that way. It was the novelty of onslaught which David used that was able to overthrow the mighty Philistine. If you are going to make a success in lifo you must have independent ways of doing your work. Y'ou must get out of the ruts. Do not use Saul’s sword to tight your Goliath merely because all other sol diers are using swords to fight their Goliaths. 1 icveiop j*our marksmanship by swinging your natural slings. Da vid fighting his battles 'n an original way was a conqueror; David using Saul’s armor would have been a fail ure. There is another caution to the young man who is going out to fight the bat tles of life. He must be careful about the quality mid temper of Ids weapons. If we should discard the obsolete weap ons with which our ancestors fought their battles, how much more should all of us refuse to go forth to battle their work. God knows how much you are needed everywhere, just to keep on speaking words of good cheer. I would encourage every man, wom an and child to develop for Christ the one especial God given talent which has been bestowed on each one of us to work in God’s service. If it is to preach, then let us preach. If It Is to teach, then let us teach. If it is to pray, then let us pray by the sick beds. If it is to give money in his name, then let us give of our wealth. The great trouble with tlds world is that most of us are afraid to do our best in the time God has given us to do our work. We are afraid to use our slings lest David’s brothers mi,ght laugh at us and ridi cule us. Be yourself, O man. Be your plain, natural self. Be It in the pulpit, on the street, in the church pew. Be it everywhere and God will bless your work tor Christ. Be your self, O woman. Be your own sweet self. Bo it in the kitchen, in the par lor. Be it with your Sunday school class. Be it everywhere. God will bless you when you use your sling of one talent. But remember that before man as well as before God you will be useless If you, like David, are trying to fight the great battle of life In Saul’s armor. [Copyright.

John Mitchell Mason was the greatest pulpit orator of New York city in his day. lie died Deo. 2d, 13211. A contemporary gives this powerful description of this king of pulpiteers who swayed his audiences for Christ: “Taken altogether no American preacher has combined more impressive qualities. His aspect was on a scale of grandeur corresponding to the majesty of the mind within. Tall, robust, with a bead modeled after neither Grecian nor Roman standard, yet symmetrical, combining the dig nity of the one and the grace of the oilier, with an eye that shot fire, es pecially when under the excitement of earnest preaching, yet tender and tear ful when the pathetic chord was touch ed, with a forehead broad and high and with a mouth and a chin expressive of firmuess and decision, Dr. Mason stood before you, the prince of American pul pit orators.” But, though John Mitchell Mason was all that, his father. Rev. John Mason, was just as great. John Mitchell Mason without doubt Inherited the pulpit genius of his faH'er. But as I read history where I find one minister’s son who became a great minister I also find a dozen ministers’ sons who won their fame iu other walks of life than in the ministry. But the ministerial talent Is not necessarily a transmittable talent. Agassiz, Hul- lam, Cowper, Coleridge. Tennyson. Lowell, Emerson, Matthew Arnold, Macaulay, Thackeray, Sir Christopher Wren, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sterne, Hazlitt, Peter Stuyvesant, Samuel P. Morse and hundreds of others of lesser fame were nil ministers’ sons who won their success in life outside of the min istry. Sun Nut u Fuel. In all probability, bad Oliver Wen- doll Holmes tried to make his son u poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., would have made out of life just as great a failure as have some men who entered the ministry merely because their fa thers were ministers. There are many physieiaiU* sons who have signs nailed to their front doors whom God never intended to be physicians. These men entered the medical profession not be cause they were adapted to the work, 1 but because their fathers were doc- in our hands which again and again have proved impotent when the heat of the struggle is on. We have often read of the duels In chivalrlc times, in those mortal combats the trueness of blades decided whether the combatants should live or die. We have read that when some combatants were just at the critical stage of the duel a blade had snapped. Then there was a lunge with a sword, and the man who once held the false blade in his hand drop ped at the feet of his adversary a blood soaked corpse. When we take the blades of sin we have false weapons in our hands. In the heat of life’s battles these blades of sin will fail us every time. The Sword of Sin. Perhaps David was tempted to use Saul’s sword, as some of us are tempt ed at times to go forth to fight the bat tles of life with the weapons of sin In our hands. Methinks I can see the shepherd boy take the jeweled blade from the hands of the king’s armorer. His face Hushes with pleasure, his eye flashes, he runs his thumb along the keen edge of the blade, and he looks at the jeweled hilt. “What,” says he—"Is the king going to let me have his own sword?” But then David pushes it aside and says, “Better a sling than this cumbersome blade.” So Satan places the sword of sin in our hands. We look at it. It seems to be a jew eled blade. We say to ourselves: “It Is only the sword of just one He.. It Is only the sword of Just one theft or one deceit or one sin.” We know we can win victory with one blow from that sword. Then we carnot bear to lay It aside. But today let us push away that sword of sin at once. It will break in our hands as sure ns we live, and It will leave us at the mercy of our foes. “Well.” says some one, “you have been telling us what kind of weapons not to use. Now tell us the kind we can go forth to fight God’s battles with. How do we know with what David’s sling we are to fight? How did David know? What was his best sling?” \yett, my friends, I am not here to tejpyour particular sling, but 1 am hafe to tell you how you can find out/about that sling. As a rule, the slim^ which you are to use in the battle o^ife is the one | that you can wield ttyF'easlest. Il<> Was Nicely CanKht. Bishop Ellison Capers of South Caro lina recently addressed a meeting of Confederate veterans In Columbia. In the course of his address Bishop Capers spoke ef those men who deceive their wives, pretending that they are detained late at their offices on business, when really they are spending the evening at the theater or the club. "These men,” he said, “are fewer than the comic writers of the press would have us believe; but, neverthe less, here and there they do exist. I wish that they could all be caught as nicely as one of them, a resident of Columbia, was caught the other day. “He said to his wife as he was leav ing home in the morning: “ ‘Oh, ity the way, my dear, if I find I can’t get away from the works in time for dinner tonight I’ll send you a note by a messenger.’ “The wife in a tart tone replied: “ ‘You needn’t bother. I have already found the note in your coat pocket.’ ” A man who thinks he understands women is just as likely as not to in vest his money in a perpetual motion invention.

BANNER SALVE the most healing salve in the world. Italic* In Xewapnpera. Italics have been abolished very re cently in one of the leading London dailies. A writer comments on the change as follows: “Any one who knows what he wants to say and how to say it can find enough words iu the English language for his purpose. Our purpose, at any rate, is to try to convey our meaning without banging our read ers in the eye. The great days of ital ics were iu the thirties of the last cen tury, when the London Figaro began its criticisms of politics, the drama and society. Then every other word was italicized, and the effect today is as though every other word were a shriek. Until 'the eighties, women re tained the habit of underlining all but the prepositions and conjunctions in their letters, and there are still many women Journalists who cannot get along without the stimulus of italics. But in reality a writer needs italics about as often as he needs a Turkish bath.” Sabbath Law* uf Kdlnbnricb. The strenuous American must have a hard time abiding by the Sabbath laws of Edinburgh.
