I was all run down from nervous
ness and overwork and had to resign
my position and take a rest. I
found that I was not gaining my
strength and health as fast as 1
could wish, and as your Wine of
Cardui was recommended as such a
good medicine for the ills of our
sex, I bought a bottle and began
using it. I was satisfied with uie
results from the use of the first
bottle, and took three more and then
found 1 was restored to good health
and strength and able to take up
my work with renewed vigor. I
consider it a fine tonic and excellent
for worn-out, nervous condition,
and am pleased to endorse it.

n . celebration of Wushing-
t in’s birthday, to remind the nation of ;
its indebtedness t » God throughout its
history for the same care and protec
tion that he vouchsafed to his people
at a crisis of their national affairs, j
The text is Joshua x. 12, ‘‘Sun, stand
thou still upon iMbeon, and thou, j
moon, iu the valley of Ajalon.”
This week we celebrate once more
the national festival which appeals to
the heart of every patriot. There is
no date In our history that compares
with it In its claims on our reverence.
In honoring the birthday of the Father
of His Country we contradict the re
proach that republics are always un
grateful. Never so long as this nation
lasts will the memory of George Wash
ington lose its luster. The greater and
the stronger and the more influential we
become among the peoples of the earth
the more illustrious will be the posi
tion we accord to the man whom God
raised ftp at the birth of tills nation
to win for us freedom and independ
ence. Many great and good men have
arisen tq serve us since his time—men
renowned in war, men sagacious in
statesmanship, men of patriotic fervor.
We thank God for them, but it is to
that man we turn with grateful rever
ence who, in the darkness and disaster
of our country’s fortunes, held fast his
faitii and kept ids brave heart undis
mayed.
It is with no desire of belittling his
achievements that we trace ids power
to accomplish them to a higher source.
He never failed to acknowledge that it
was by the help of God that he won his
victories. If Washington had not had
unwavering faith in God, his courage
and fortitude would have failed under
the trials he had to endure. There
were mighty forces contending on his
side that did for him more than his
poor, ragged soldiers could accomplish.
The heavenly cohorts were fighting on
his behalf, and in stirring up enemies
of the great power with which he was
contending reduced that enemy’s ca
pacity to oppose him and enabled him
to overcome. It was the providence of
God that gave him the victory, as long
centuries earlier it had enabled the gen
eral who commanded the feeble forces
of the Hebrews to overcome the giants
of the Cannanites. God does interfere
In human affairs, as history proves
again and again. Washington found in
the hour of his difficulty, as Joshua
found in his campaigns, that in the
Lord of Hosts was his supreme sup
port.
I choose today this story of Joshua
as a topic for our thoughts because it
emphasizes with oriental imagery the
great lesson of Washington's career.
The materialist who would exclude
God from his universe is met here in
ancient and in modern history with
the sublime truth thnt the divine sym
pathy is on the side of righteousness
and that God is able by his infinite
power to give the victory to the weak
who trust in him.
Man’a Inalffnlflcance.
One reason given for the noninter
ference of God in human affairs is that
man is an infinitesimal. Though man as
a finite cannot drop a fathom line long
enough to sound the bottom of God’s
deep seas of mysteries, that does not
prove that these “divine mysteries”
are not true. Because many of the
leading scientific men of England
doubted the practicality of George
Stephenson’s Invention, that did not
make the iron traces within which was
harnessed the locomotive any less
strong. Because for years and years
Cyrus Field’s attempts to marry the
old world to the new with the wedding
ring of an Atlantic cable was the butt
and ridicule of thousands of unbeliev
ing tongues, that did not make the pos
sibility of sending a message under
the seas any less an attainable fact.
Because we cannot explain to the sat
isfaction of skeptics this miracle of
the sun standing still, shall we aban
don our faith in God’s providence?
Bliall we not rather remind them that
In our own national history his inter
ference on behalf of the weak was dis
played no less conspicuously and no
less effectively?
God has omnipotent power over the
forces of this world—the socialistic, the
atmospheric and the angelic as well
as the astronomical—and time and
again he has compelled them to bend
the knee for the aid of men. In this
sermon I am going to show you that,
though man may seem to be insignifi
cant, yet be is not so in reality. Man
is so important in God’s eyes that God
is ready to do everything possible in
his interest and for his salvation. He
has not shrunk from the sacrifice of his
only begotten Son, who is yet to be
come King of kings and Lord of all.
Let us first see how God lias exalted
man's throne above the stars. Let us
study from the astronomical telescope
how man, instead of being a mere non
descript, a being unthought of, an un
recognizable, a forgotten pygmy in an
unknown world, swinging out upon the
outskirts of the universe, is more im
portant than all material worlds and
more Important than any other creature
living this side of the New Jerusalem.
Let us enter the throne room of the
heavens and see bow In the past, for
man’s good, the stars have wheeled into
line and obeyed God’s behests, even as a
torchlight procession might march past
the reviewing stand of a king or a pres

fter our
o.vn image.” "So God create 1 lunn in
bis own image.” He crowned him with
honor and glory and made him to ha\e
dominion over the works of ids hands,
of which the moon and the stars were
only the works of God’s fingers. Thus
we find that all the worlds were in one
sense created for the great climax of
all earthly creations, the advent of
man. Is it incredible that, in order to
work out his purposes for the human
race, God should use these lower crea
tions at Ids will?
Man’n Iiiiitortnnce In irnlvcrue.
If man is not more important than
the stars, how can you account for the
fact that Jesus Christ came to this
world to die for man? There are bil
lions upon billions of worlds. There
are worlds above worlds. There are
constellations upon constellations.
These worlds are born; these worlds
die. Every night the telescopic eye of
the astronomer can see their funeral
pyres burning. Yet it was not to re
animate perishing worlds that Jesus
died. It was to redeem immortal man
that Jesus left heaven and suffered
upon the cross. Our earth is but a
speck in the universe, one of the small
est of the millions of worlds thnt are
visible in the winter's sky, yet it was
for the redemption of its inhabitants
that Jesus gave himself to suffer and
die. Does not this prove the impor
tance of man? If a man is not more
important than the stars, how can you
account for the fact that weeks, per
haps months, before Jesus was born in
the manger at Bethlehem God sent a
stellar messenger to guide the wise
men from the east? Would a star step
out of its course and with finger of
light become a guide to man? Does
not the fact that a star was a messen
ger to man at the first Christmas morn
prove to you that God has enrolled
among the astronomical hosts mighty
forces which, if necessary, are ready
to serve us and our interests? How
this “star of the east” was able to slip
its chains and run down the boule
vards of the heavens we know not.
Some of the astronomers declare the
“star of the east” was not a single
star at ail, but in order to lead those
wise men God wheeled into line two,
three, perhaps fifty, a thousand, stars
and focused all their lights upon the
stony crib. But, whether the star in
the er"t vis a single star or twenty or
a hundred stars, one fact we know—
“God made the heavens, with their con
stellations, and they are at Lis com
mand: they are bis servaats, and they
do his wili.”
But we are uot compelled to put our
world in harmony with worlds millions
and billions of miles away to find some
of the mighty forces God is able and
willing to command for man’s life and
service, for man’s safety temporal and
safety spiritual. We can hear God
speaking to man in the voice of the
storm. We can see him smiling in
laughing eyed sunbeams. Furthermore,
we may learn that this voice and this
smile in answer to believing prayer
will come for man’s blessing if we only
ask him for an atmospheric blessing.
When one of the Princeton students
once asked Dr. Alexander, "Professor,
do you ever lose your faith in God?”
he replied, “Never, except when the
wind is from the east.” - Yet we should
know that God’s greatest blessings can
come to rescue man sometimes when
the “wind Is from the east.” There
fore you and I as believing Christians
have a right to pray for clear weather
during a freshet as in times of drought
we have a right to pray for rain. Thus
if it is best for us God will answer our
prayers atmospheric.
That Strong Eaat Wind.
God’s power extends to all meteoro
logical phenomena. Not yet have the
wonders of the storm been reduced to
a system. The weather bureau’s prog
nostications frequently fail. As with
Washington, as with Joshua, as with
Moses, God’s hand is outstretched for
the rescue of his people. What inci
dent in history is so astonishing as that
of the passage of the Red sea? The
children of Israel, fleeing from Egyp
tian enslavement, were caught in a
trap. In front of them was the sea.
Behind the earth was shaken with the
revolving chariot wheels and the thun
dering cavalry hoofs of the pursuing
soldiers of Pharaoh. What happened?
Moses said: “Fear not, my children;
fear not. God will rescue us.” Moses
then stretched out his hand over the
sea, and the Lord caused the sea to go
back by “a strong east wind.” In other
words, in answer to Moses’ prayer God
sent a strong east wind, which blew
back the waters so that the Israelites
might dee away from their masters.
And to show what the power of this
east wind was Major General Tullock
of the British army a few years ago be
fore the London Geographical society
read a paper in which he declared that
he stood a few years before L. exactly
the same place where those Israelites
were supposed to have crossed. One
night he felt a strong east wind blow.
It blew so hard that in one night it
blew back the waters and left the ships
which were once riding at anchor
stranded on dry land. God answered
Moses’ prayer. He answered It through
the agency of the east wind.
God exercises the same control over
his animate creation that he has over
the winds, mi'l with tills, too, bo oper
ates for the benefit of ids people
After the children of Israel hud been
for mouths living upon the manna in
the wiiderni • they bo an to crave
meat. They < t ied unto Moses: “Give
us flesh to cat! Give us flesh!” What
happened? The l‘>il)l“ says; “There
went forth a wind fi-an th" B ird and
brought quails from the sen and lot
them fall by the camp * * * as it were
two cubits high upon the face of the
earth.” This docs not mean, as Mr.
Hastings declares, thnt the Lord by
a.j east wind pik'd up dead quails
about tl.c Israelite canp two cubits
high. But it does mean that the cast
wind blow the quails, against their
will, straight toward tin* Israelites.
The wind was so powerful that the
birds, heavy of body and short of
wing, had to fly low on account of the
tornado. And as they floNv low the
men killed them. God answered the
prayer of Moses. lie answered it in
the shrieking of winds.
Some Modern Mlrnelea.
But why go back in Biblical history
to rind how God lias aided his children
In the voice of the winds? What about
| the Spanish armada under the “golden
duke,” Admiral Sidonln, with its 129
shiiis, defeated from invading Britisli
harbors not by the English cannon,
but by the tornado which swept the
English channel in 1588? What about
the storm which prevented Napoleon
attacking Wellington at Waterloo iu
the early morning and which delay
was a great factor in the triumph of
the English? What about the dense
and impenetrable fog which settled in
New' York harbor in the early morning
of the day on which Washington and
his troops escaped from Long Island
and made it possible for the American
boats to row to safety under the very
guns of the British fleet, which could
have annihilated them? What about
the frost which came In answ’er to
America’s prayer just at the right time
after a thaw which destroyed the lo
custs by the millions a few* years ago
In our western states, where they were
destroying the crops everywhere?
Were not those storms and those frosts
the voice of God In answer to prayer
coming to the aid of his children? I
tell you w’e have to realize thnt there
are atmospheric answers to prayer as
well as astronomical answers to pray
er. God speaks to us In times of
drought when w r e pray as he answered
Elijah’s prayer of old when Ahab fled
to Jezreel to escape the deluge—“Hath
not the rain a father?” God’s rescu
ing voice Is heard In the growl of the
storm; God’s smile Is seen In the in
cubating sunshine, and If It Is best
for us God’s storm and God’s sunshine
are seen and felt In answer to our be
lieving prayers.
But I find the mighty forces not only
astronomical and atmospheric, but also
socialistic, subserving God’s children.
I use the word socialistic not in Its
narrow sense. I allude to It In its
broad sense of man’s relationship to
man. In the triumphs and defeats of
nations, in the supremacy and the
overthrow of thrones, I find that the
great onward movements of the world
have been employed for the rescue and
salvation of God’s peoples for all time.
In the Fullnena of Time.
What is the meaning of that verse
Galatians iv. 4, “When the fullness of
time was come, God sent forth his Son,
made of a woman, under the law to re
deem them that were under the law,
that we might receive the adoption of
sons?” Was uot one time in the sight
of God just as favorable as any other
time? Oh, no. There were certain
prophetic conditions which had to be
fulfilled. Not the least of these was
that Jesus had to be born in Bethlehem
of Judaea, liow was this,to be accom-
! plished? After tlje while civiUzed
world was brought under the domain
of the Roman scepter God prompts
1 Caesar to order that a Jewish census
be taken. What was the result? In
order to obey that command, Joseph,
the carpenter, who was married to
Mary, had to take a trip to Bethlehem.
He was one of the descendants of
David, and all bis family had to be
counted in the village where the royal
shepherd boy once lived. Then through
Joseph, through Caesar, through a for
eign command, Jesus was bom where
prophecy said Christ should be bom.
It is folly for you and I to say, “God
might have fulfilled prophecy iu a dif
ferent way.” Yes, he might. But
God’s way was a true way. And in
order to accomplish that way Caesar
must conquer and Rome must rule.
Can we not in the same way see the
finger of God in the discovery of Amer
ica, in the birth of our constitution, in
the awful tragedy of the civil war, in
the strange acquisitions of Porto Rico
and of the Sandwich and Philippine Is
lands? Can we not feel that the boom
ing guns at Port Arthur and the suc
cess of one political party over another
are the voice of God heard in the same
words that Paul spake when he said
that God Is working out his plans
through the movements of the nations?
Because with our nearsighted vision we
cannot see the end from the beginning
that does not lessen the workings of
God’s movements for the salvation of
nations.
Man’s throne Is higher than the stars.
God has made him a little lower than
the angels. Yes. But on account of
Jesus’ sacrifice for us God has sent his
angels to re-enforce us in the awful
struggle against sin and temptation
and in the battle for the world’s re
demption. He has sent them, not here
one and there one. “The chariots of
God are twenty thousand, even thou
sands of angels. The Lord is among
them as in Sinai, as In the holy place.”
These angels are everywhere, willing to
minister unto "*« and care for us.
Re-enforced by Ansels.
Mighty angels for our protection!

Thus when I l>e?au the study of the
tragic events of Joshua's life I did not
think they were Wry unusual. If Josh
ua by the strength of his own arm had
won the battles they would have been
wonderful, but the victories were not
won alone by the Jewish captain. They
were won by the Lord God Almighty,
who said to the new leader: “There
shall not any man be able to stand be
fore thee all the days of thy life; as I
was with Moses so I will be with thee.
I will not fall thee nor forsake thee.”
When I see the destruction of the city
of Ai, I know it was not Joshua’s work,
but God’s. When I hear the crashing
of the walls of Jericho, I know it was
not Joshua’s act, but God’s. When I
read of the combination of the five
kings against Joshua. I expect to find
that he was overwhelmed, but when I
read of his victory I know that the
God whom the sun and the stars obey
must have fought for him. In the his
tory of our own nation lias not God
fought for us? How otherwise would
the inexperienced general whose birth
we are about to celebrate have tri
umphed over his haughty foe?
One of the crucial battles of the east
was decided by the movements of the
sun and moon. The Phoenicians were
sun worshipers. Their Enemies wor
shiped the moon. When this battle
was at its fiercest the moon slowly
passed in front of the sun. Darkness
came upon the earth. The Phoenicians
thought their god had turned bis face
away from them, and they turned In
wild terror and fled. Their ignorance
and superstition lost them the battle.
We smile at their credulity, but we
need to beware lest we fall into the op
posite mistake. We are in danger of
forgetting the God who controls nat
ural phenomena and who governs the
affairs of men. Through his power
and his protection our nation has sur
vived and flourished. Let us serve and
obey him who was with Washington
in his battles and has been with us
In every crisis of our history lest he
turn his face from us and we perish.

A Night Alarm.
Worse than an alarm of fire at night
is the brassy cough of croup, which
.sounds like the children's death knell
and it means death unless something
is done quickly. Foley’s Honey and
Tar never fails to give instant re
lief and quickly cures the worst forms
of croup. Mrs. P. L. Cordier, of Man-
nington, Ky., writes: “My three year
old girl had a severe case of croup;
the doctor said she could not live. I
got a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar,
the first dose gave quick relief and
aved her life.” Refuse substitutes.
