Women as Well as Men

Kidney trouble preys upon tlie mind, dls*
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfu^ess soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
ji, Ij for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid-
‘ neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable w th kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

Lo . Angeles, Cal., Oct. 1.—In the sto-
!<.>• of beautiful Queen Esther, who-e
courage and-patriotism saved her race
from destrui ion, the preacher finds a
noble lesson for the women of today.
The text is Esther Iv, Id, “If I perish,
I perish."
Have you ever read the blood curdling
,-tory of the massacre of St. Bartholo
mew V No. Then perhaps you have
seen copies of the great masterpieces
of the Venetian artist, Tintoretto, and
:>! Peter Paul Rubens, entitled “The
Massacre of the Innocents.” From
these two thrilling pictures you gain
•an idea of what that most awful trag
edy in Erauce, known as tin* massacre
af St. Bartholomew, must have been
like. In those pictures you can see the
frantic eyes of the mothers watching
the murderers of their children com
ing nearer and nearer to their prey.
You can see some of these mothers on
their knees trying t > shield their ba
bies with their arms. Or you can see
them with their bauds clutching the
murderous blades to ward them off
from their children, though the keen
edge cut their hands to the bone. Or
you can see some of these mothers
running away in the distance with
their babies under their arms. In dra
matic contrast to the pleading, praying,
frenzied and helpless looks of these
agonized mothers you can soo Herod's
butchers driving in a sword horo, strik
ing down a baity there, ripping open
the tender body of a beautiful infant
beyond, tossing up a child farther on
as a trickster might toss a card and
catching it upon the edge of a sharp
pointed knife. All these fiendish mur
ders were done as nonchalantly and
unconcernedly and with as much dia
bolical abandon as was shown by the
agents of Nana Sahib, who entered the
( awnpur slaughter house during the
Indian mutinv
IS-7 and with their
Host Anything

The < rime of Herod.
Yes, Uie pictures Tintoretto and Ru
bens painted of that massacre send a
shudder through every one who looks
at them. But, horrible as that tragedy
was, it has been eclipsed more than
once in the world’s history. Far great
er in cruelty and in the number of vic
tims was that tragedy conceived by
the queen mother ( atlierine de’ Medici
and carried out by the order of her
royal sou, King Charles IX. of France.
Herod, although In* was an inhuman
monster and capable of any crime,
slew only th • male children of two
: ear • and under living in and about
Bethelohcm of Judaea, and the number
of bis victims must have been compar
atively small. On the other hand, be
tween twenty and thirty thousand Hu
guenots in uue night fell in the massa
cre of St. Bartholomew. Old and
young, rich and po.>r, unknow n peasant
and iiliisttious Admiral Coligny, suck
ling babes and gray haired men, wel
tered in their life’s blood on that awful
nigh:. Then this laughter was not re
strieted in its area to the French ‘-api
tat. its bloody work spread through
the province '. Wi h one Mow the Cath
ode dictator. Querni Catherine, tried to
destroy all the enemies of the Catholic
church forever. No wonder King
Charles on account of tins crime died,
as (iid King Riel.ord, in the ng >nies of
remorse.
What the Si. Bartholomew slaughter
was to France the intended massacre
of the Hebrews was to be to the I’er-
sian kingdom of t74 B. C. A corrupt
premier of a corrupt king in order to
triumph over a Hebrew, Mordee.'ii by
name, plotted to exterminate all the
Jews who did not return to the Holy
Land after tin* captivity was over and
when Xehemi.di was allowed to return
home to build the Jerusalem walls.
The day of the massacre had been set.
The couriers 1,1 the king had gone to
tin* provinces and carried everywhere
the orders for Ihe wholesale luhchery.
All thi> executioners’ swords had been
• barpened. But Hainan, the prime ndn-
i«dcr, schemed without knowing that
the beloved queen of King Ahasuerus
was a daughter of the despised He
brews. When Esther, the queen, heard
of w hat the premier, Hainan, was to do
by the command of the king she said
to her foster father, Mordecai: "I will
go unto the king and plead for my peo
ple. This, 1 know, is not according to
the law, hut I will do all I can to save
them.” Then she uttered these dra
matic words of my text, “If 1 perish, I
Jierish."
\ Wonian’N Conranre.
I’erhaps some of you have listened to
Handel’s wonderful oratorio, called
“Esther.” You have marveled at the
thrilling and plaintive notes of one of
the greatest of all composers. But no
touch of Handel can be more over
whelming than the simple story of this
brave Persian queen as recorded In
the Bible. Let me draw for you a few r
plain, practical lessons from a part
of it.
This heroic resolution. In the first
place, was made by a woman. This
may seem to some a very Insignificant
statement to make. But I want to tell
you that In the days of Klug Ahasue
rus any woman who daml form such
a resolution as Queen Esther made
was literally taking her life hi her
hands. With one act she was defying
all the traditions of the centuries In
reference to the position of woman.
The wife of an eastern monarch was
not suffered to be the companion, the
(‘o-operator, the sharer, of her hu»-
b'!nd’s responsibilities, as your moth
er w as of the cares of your father. She
w as looked upon ns a mere plaything,
a toy, a human doll, a pet puppet, the
chief end of whose existence was to
humor the whims of her husband.
Y.'hen he called she was to come.
When he said “Go!” she was to go.
But she was not to go or to come un
less he give the command. And, fur
thermore. in the far east, In the time
of Ahasuerus. not only did a husband
look upon his wife as a mere play
thing, but if be so willed be might
even compel her to honor or dishonor
be self before the world. She had ab
solutely no means to free herself from
he tyranny of his will.
Read today the tragic history of
Queen Yashti. No one can truly study
the life of Queen Esther unless he
places alongside of her face the beau
tiful face of Queen Yashti, who was
her predecessor in the royal palace of
the Medes and the Persians. The
great capital of Shushan, about 200
miles away from Babylon, Is ablaze
with lights. All the princes and the
governors of the different provinces
are being entertained in the royal pal
aces. The streets of the city are fes
tooned with flags and banners. The
bravest warriors of the army of King
Ahasuerus have assembled their
troops for the magnificent military
pageant. The bedrooms where the
guests slept seemed to be the sleeping
apartments of an Aladdin. The beds
wore of solid gold, the tapestries of
costliest linens, soft and fragrant in
perfumes. The floors were all of the
finest mosaic. Every eup was a chal
ice and each chalice of especial work-
manship, handmade and formed by
the lingers of a master designer. Not
only that, but every guest for the
seven days could do as he willed. The
chariots of the royal stables were all
his. The most expensive viands of the
banquet tables were his.
“I Will Xot Come.”
The royal entertainment had been go
ing on for nearly a week. It reached
its great climax on the night before
King Aliasuerus and the governors and
Mi'' princes were to separate. The
chamberlains were there. Louder and
louder played the music; more and
more hilarious became the sport. Now
it was an overturned decanter; again
it was a fallen lord, tumbling upon the
floor in his drunken stupor. The court
iers were drunk; the king was drunk.
“And on the seventh day, when the
heart of the king was meryy”—what
happened? The king turns to his
fawning, cringing guests and says:
“Now, gentlemen, I will show a sight
tlu' like of which you have never seen
in the past and you will never see
again. I will compel my beautiful
queen, Yashti, to come into this ban
quet hall and unveil herself before you
inebriated men. I will compel my
queen to obey me because I am her
master. Ho. chamberlain! Go forth
and bring Yashti to me and let her re
veal her beauty before these drunken
brutes.” The messengers hastened
away. They went to the queen’s apart
ments anil carried the king’s com
mands. Then what happened? The
outraged queen drew herself to her
full height. Her checks flushed, her
eyes glittered with excitement, her
bauds convulsively clutched as she
said: "Go back to your royal master.
Tell him 1 will not come. My honor
is more sacred to me than my throne."
When she spake tints she knew in all
probability she was signing her own
death warrant. Because she refused
to come Yashti lost her throne. She
was exih'd in perpetual disgrace. Yet
these were the tyrannical laws which
held women in perpetual degradation
ill.it Queen Esther was ready to defy
when she went to plead with the king
for her Hebrew people. No wonder
when she made her noble resolution
that she should have said, “So will I
go in unto the king, which is not ac
cording to the daw, and if I perish I
perish.”
Women sitting before me today, are
you as brave as Queen Esther? Wives
and mothers and daughters, are you
ready to be something more than a
plaything, a human puppet for man?
Are you ready to brave the social laws
which would limit your sphere to the
frivolities of a life of ease and pleas
ure? You should truly be moral lead
ers, moral teachers and noble compan
ions of man. As Queen Esther was
ready to take a share In the responsi
bilities of her husband, a wife should
be a positive quality in the moral
world, not a negative one. An old
English author once wrbte: “A good
wife should be like three things iu
some ways, but in others she should
not be like. First, she should be like a
snail, to keep within her own house,
but she should not be like the snail to
carry all she has upon her back; sec
ondly, she should be like an echo, to
speak when spoken to, but should uot
bo like an echo always to have the last
word; thirdly, she should be like a
town clock, always to keep time and
regularity, but she should uot, like a
town clock, speak so loud that all the
town may hear her.” 1 do not agree
with that old English writer at all. 1
do not believe a woman should be ‘‘an
echo and only speak when spoken to.”
She should be like Queer; Esther. She
should cease to be the plaything of
man. She should cease to be the hu-
morer of masculine whims. She should
nobly and fearlessly take her position
by her husband’s side and help him to
solve the great problems of life. She
should do this even if she has to say,
as did the noble queen of my text,
“And if 1 perish, I perish."
I.lke Arria of Home.
We follow with enthusiasm the cour
ageous resolution of this brave wo
man. But our wonder becomes more
mid more pronounced as we realize
that Queen Esther was ready to lay
down her throne and her life, not for
n prince or a princess, not for one of
her daily companions in the royal pal
ace, but for a despised race. She was
almost identically lu the position of
the brave Roman lady, Arria by name,
whose husband, Oetavia Paetus, was
convicted of one of the most heinous
of all crimes, treason. He was not
only a traitor, but a coward. The
findings of the court declared that he
must die the death of a suicide. Fear
ing to take his own life, his wife, who
stood by his side In the courtroom,
picked up a dagger and plunged it
into her own heart! Then as she was
about to totter and fall she handed
this dagger to her husband, saying:
“Paetus, it does not hurt. Hurry. Be
quick and die with me.” Arria was
willing to die for her disgraced hus
band. Queen Esther was ready to lay
down her life for the Hebrew people, a
collection of despised captives.
She was ready to do in the capital of
Shusban what that greatest of all hu
man leaders, Moses, who was called
the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, had
been ready to do in the Egyptian capi
tal—to die. She was ready to do in
Shusban what David Livingstone had
been ready to do in Africa, and Hud
son Taylor in China, and John Patou
in the New Hebrides, and as Judson
and Brainard and John Elliott and
Father Marquette and Father Damien
were ready to do for the despised peo
ples to whom they ministered. She was
ready to do as the hosts of Christian
martyrs did in the times of the Roman
persecutions. She was ready to do as
the Salvation Army girls are doing
down in the slums of a great city. She
was ready to give up her life for those
who are despised and downtrodden
and helpless, as yon and I should he
willing to try to lift the fallen ones up
out of sin, up out of ignorance, up out
of superstition, up out of moral, mental
and physical tilth. God help us to be
like Queen Esther 11 ml to be ready, iu
the name of Christ, to surrender our
lives for a despised, downtrodden and
sinful race.
Tin- Honor of n Wife.
But as I follow the noble resolution
of this brave woman I am struck with
another overwhelming fact. Queen Es
ther was willing to defy all the social
conventionalities that govern oriental
ideas of woman. She w as ready if nec
essary to lay down her life for some
ex-slaves. But she was ready to do
more than this. Sim was ready to
wrench this concession if possible from
a very had man. King Ahasuerus
lived iu the depraved east iu a de
praved age, but lie must have been a
most notorious example even in that
vile generation. No man but the most
morally corrupt, even in the depraved
east, is willing.to allow a wife to incur
dishonor before other men. The more
depraved a man Is, as a rule, the more
lie tries to guard and shield the honor
of ids wife from the depravities of
other men.
Could an\ one hut a criminal mon
strosity, a man lost to all semblance of
decency and honor, wish his wife to en
ter a banquet hall tilled with drunk
ards and social lepers, as King Alias-
uerus demanded of Queen Yashti?
Why, even iu India, where love is nev
er reckoned as an essential of the mar
Huge altar and where virtue in a man
is looked upon as an unknown quanti
ty, the women are protected. The
wives and ihe sisters and the daugh
ters are sliul up in harems. They are
noi even allowed to look upon the faces
of their fathers and brothers after
marriage. A woman is guarded from
the eyes of the world until her death,
if the wife of a Hindoo travels she is
carried to tin* station in dosed in a con
veyance which suggests a Mg eolliu.
Then a Mg sheet or curtain is thrown
from the ear door over this box, and
tin' wife, heavily veiled, crawls into
her apartment, where every curtain i-.
drawn and every door tightly shut. It
is considered a disgrace for her to be
seen by man. No sooner does a man
enter a street where the women are
than the cry is raised. The men, the
men!" And every woman rushes in
doors, fearing the eyes of iniiu as she
would the fangs of a deadly cobra. If
a man not a husband or a son dare en
ter the women’s apartments he is shot
down or cut into pieces, as though he
were a mad dug. And yet here in licen
tious Shushan we tlud King Ahasuerus
demanding that his wife unveil herself
before drunken and debauched men.
Yet it was to this notoriously depraved
monarch that Queen Esther was to
plead for the salvation of a doomed
race.
Is there no practical application of
this incident? Yes. If you and I are
ever to accomplish much good in this
world we must work through many
different kinds of instrumentalities. If
a man is a notorious libertine or scoun
drel, that is no reason why you and I
should regard him as wholly out of
the reach of effort and beyond recla
mation. Mr. Moody started his great
Sunday school in Chicago by bravely
going and asking a dissolute saloon
keeper for his children that he might
teach them of Jesus. Young Moody
got them. Because a miser hangs on
to his gold with a death grip is no rea
son why you and I should not go and
move his heart to use some of that
gold for a mission of mercy.
ICntlier'N Common genae.
Dark and forbidding as were her sur
roundings, there were two or three
bright lines in this oriental, historical
picture which show that though Queen
Esther’s dangers might seem to be in
surmountable, yet In truth they were
uot. Queen Esther won her mighty
vlctorj’ for the salvation of the He
brew race by the use of plain, prac
tical common sense, which lt\ this age
would be railed brilliant Christian
stratagem. The queen was not a fool.
She was not one of those miserable
shrews, always going around with
mussed hair and shoes run down at
the heels, with her dresses ill fitting
and caught together with pins. She
was not one of those women who wield
a sharp tongue, priding herself upon
the fact that she Is always speaking
the truth, because she Is always say
ing a lot of disagreeable things. Some
women may be good women, but they
are very coarse and stupid and im
polite and repulsive women. There are
women who* are good and irreproacha
ble in character whose temper is so
bad and whose tongues are so vitriolic
that some good men would sooner
make a pillow out of porcupine quills
and go to sleep upon a mattress of
Canada thistles than to associate with
them. Their tongues may be as bit
ter as gall. Queen Esther never prid
ed herself upon her sharp tongue. Like
Sarah, the wife of Abraham, she knew
that it was no disgrace for a woman to
be fair to look upon. Thus as a woman
of great common sense she tried to do
her work with sweet looks and gentle
words and not with verbal sledge ham
mer, spear, sword, battering ram and
hurricane.
How as a beautiful woman of great
common sense did Queen Esther win
her brilliant victory? In the first place,
she goes to the king and asks as an
especial favor that he, with his con
temptible and dishonorable prime min
ister, wicked Hainan by name, would
come and take dinner some night iu her
royal palace. Though this was against
the law, yet the king consented. Then
methinks I can see this beautiful wo
man preparing for her plan of battle.
She puts on her most attractive robes.
She has her hairdresser intwine he-
black locks in the way most becoming
to her dark Hebrew features. She
lias the dining room fragrant with
flowers and adorned with the most
beautiful of tapestries. She has the
banquet table laden with the choicest
of delicacies. And while the guests are
eating and the musicians are playing
this beautiful queen picks up one of
her stringed instruments, and softly
the notes are sounded. Then she be
gins to sing an old love song, and the
king, enraptured with her beauty,
looks at her in tender and passionate
affection. She drops her eyes and
with a quivering voice and a heaving
breast eloquently tells the story of
her life and how Hainan wanted to
slay her people. She paves the way
for the victory by what we may call
today Christian strategy.
When you and I want to win our vic
tories for Christ, do we do as Queen
Esther did? Do we use Christian strat
egy? Do we. to use a vulgar terra, try
to “rub” people the right way? Do we
go to them tenderly, lovingly, gently
and yet flrmly and try to lead them to
Christ, as Queen Esther paved the way
in an oriental banquet hall for the res
cue of her people?
KnlHi In God.
But, though Queen Esther went into
this battle for her people determined
to use Christian stratagem, yet this,
after all, was only the secondary part
of her strength. Her great strength
came from the fact that she, first and
last and all the time, was depending
upon the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, the God of her people. This
beautiful queen had been brought up
in a religions atmosphere. Her foster
'father, Mordecai, was a devout wor
shiper at tbi' divine throne. Rbe was
grounded in the Hebrew faith when a
child. She knew that God was omnipo
tent and if she went forth in his
strength she might be omnipotent too.
Oh, my friends, will you and l go forth
to battle for God feeling that the di
vine power of God is in us and that wo
through Min can do all things?
How clearly the power of God can be
seen’ in this story. In order to in
crease your faith in the operations of
the divine power I want you to step
aside a little while from the queen's
banquet hall to ee how God also paves
the way for the conquest of his chil
dren. A few nights before the king
and Ids prime minister banqueted with
Queen Esther, Ahasuerus was tumble
to sleep. Back and forward he tossed
upon ids couch. Then in disgust"he
said to himself: “l cannot sleep. Then
at least let me pass the hours of night
away profitably.” So he began to call:
“Light, guard, light! Send my secre
tary to read to me!” Turn to the sixth
chapter of the book of Esther: “On that
night the king could not sleep, and he
commanded to bring the book of the
Chronicles, and they were read before
him.” The book of Chronicles was
simply the daily newspaper of olden
times. As the court secretary read on
he reads how Mordecai, the foster fa-
ther uf the queen, had ferreted out an
intended crime whereby two of tbe
chamberlains, Bigthana and Teresh by
name, were going to kill the kjng.
Then when the queen told the story of
her life and that Mordecai was her fos
ter father at once the king said: "Yes,
Mordecai. That is the Hebrew who
saved my life.” Do you not naturally
grasp the result ? At once the king was
influenced toward the Hebrews, and
this casual reading paved the way for
granting the request of the pleading
(]uecu. You say this sleeplessness of
the king was a happen so. You say
the reading of tin? Chronicles that night
was a little thing. 1 say these tilings
were ordained of God and vital in their
after results.
Thus by the seemingly insignificant
things of life God is paving the way
for the benefit of Ids children. And
by the seemingly insignificant tilings
he is today paving the way for the
salvation of some souls within our
church walls. Years ago there were
Queen Esthers pleading with Christ
for the salvation of their dear ones.
For years and years that pleading
went on. So today by a seeming in
significance we were led to come to
lids morning's service. Our mothers',
our fathers', our wives’, our children’s,
prayers are about to bo answered.
Now is the accepted time for some of
us. The Holy Hpirit Is working in our
hearts now, as he worked In Shusban
banquet ball.
