JOYS OF MATERNITY
k WOMAN’S BEST HOPES REAUZED
ILn. Potts Tells How Women Should
Prepare for Motherhood
The darkest days of husband and
wife are when they come to look for
ward to childless and lonely old age.
Many a wife has found herself inca
pable of motherhood owing to a dis
placement of the womb or lack of
Strength in the generative organs.
By Rev.
Frank DeWitt Talmage, D.D.
Airs. Anna Potts
Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who has some fe
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of 510 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark., writes:
My Dear Mrs. Piukhaui:—
r ‘ During the early part of my married life I
was delicate in health ; both my husband and
I were very anxious for a child to bless our
home, but 1 had two miscarriages, and could
not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I
did so and soon felt that I was growing
•tronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, I had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like a new woman. Within a year I
became the mother of a strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and I wish every woman
who wants to become a mother would try it.”
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster
ile, let her try Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkhain, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.
Weak
Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-ninaef every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple tndlgee-
tlon. It is a scientific fact that elf casea of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of IndP
gestlon. All food taken into the stomach
which falls of perfect digestion ferments end
swells the stomach, puffing It up against the
heart. This Interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada, O , aaya: I had stomach
trouble and was In a bad state as 1 had heart trouble
with It I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four
months and It cured me.
Kodol Digests What You Bat
end relieves the stomach of all nervous
strain and the heart of all pressure.

Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 3.—In this
sermon the preacher sounds u stirring
note of arousal and fresh encourage-
ment to those who are disposed to sink
in the battle of life and to give way to
unavailing regrets. The text is II Sam
uel xix, 15, “So the king returned and
came to Jordan.”
The world has no use for the common
scold. When universal fault finders
can see nothing but shortcomings in
their fellow men they are apt to de
nounce sins similar to those to which
they themselves are addicted. “What
is the matter with youV” the clapper
asked the cracked bell In the old leg
end. “You utter nothing but discords.
You are no good to Anybody.” “Yes,”
answered the bell, “that may be true.
But what are you complaining about?
Was not my metal all right until you
pounded a crack in my side? And, fur
thermore, would not the world think 1
was all right now if you did not con
tinue to pound me and advertise my
weaknessesSo It often happens that
the people who are most active in de
nouncing the weaknesses of others are
really denouncing the evil results of
which they themselves are the direct or
indirect causes. Like a boomerang,
their complaints fly in a circle. They
strike back at the very lips which start
ed those complaints on their evil flight.
The world has but little us<» for the
common scold. It lias also little use
for those who do not heed the danger
signals of life which are lifted all about
them. It has unutterable contempt for
the* pilot who will not steer away from
the buoys marking the dangerous reefs,
or for the engineer who will not stop
hi ; locomotive when the warning tor
pedo is exploded under his wheel, or
for the sea captain who will not keep
his eye upon the falling barometer
when the ship Is drawing near the ice
berg regions, or for the physician who
does not keep a careful record of the
patient’s fever, or for the statesman
who does not ferret out and check the
evils skulking hehhid the pillars of the
legislative halls. There Is no sense In
declaring that the sun Is shining when
a tornado Is battering down the har
vests and knocking the unripe fruit off
the swaying branches. It Is no sign of
great virtue to be always looking upon
the bright side of things when condi
tions about us are all askew and could
be made right if we would only go
forth to grapple with the wrongs and
scatter the causes which are bringing
forth evil results.
General Joab was not a common
scold; neither was he one of those
wlshy washy, effeminate, pusillanimous
characters who are afraid to say that
their souls are their own. He could
speak out boldly aud bravely when it
behooved him so to speak. When the
king did right, Joab was ready to say,
“Thou art right, O my king.” When
the king did wrong, Joab was also
ready to say, “Thou art wrong, O my
klug. u Aud because he was ready to
denounce the king’s follies just as em
phatically as he was to praise the
king’s virtues he was able to exercise
the far reaching influence on David’s
life that is described In the chapter of
my text.
In the first place, the iconoclast open
ed the eyes of the king to the many
blessings with which he was surround
ed. With one herculean blow Joab
shattered the idol of the king’s grief
and made him stop worshiping at the
shrine of Ills wayward son’s grave.
With the keen, sharp words of a friend
he went into the royal bedroom and
cut aud slashed that weeping parent
with his verbal stiletto until at last the
king realized that even a father has no
right to spend a lifetime bemoaning a
dead Absalom if by such a course he is
doing an injustice to bis living friends.
And yet, my brothers, how many men
aud women there are Just like David!
They never seem to be able to turn
their weeping eyes away from the fo
cus of a tombstone. They never seem
to be able to see the laughing eyes and
the smiling Ups or to hear the loving
words of those who are living for them
in the nurseries and sitting rooms of
their own homes.
David’s Greatest Battle.
The greatest battle of David’s career
was over. It was an awful tight. Dur
ing the hours of that day the king’s
throne had been tottering upon its foun
dations. As Alfred the Great had to
flee his capital when he was defeated
by the Danes at Athelney, and as Rob
ert Bruce was an exile in Ireland for
Six long years before he came back to
his Scottish throne, and as Charles II.
was a wanderer upon the face of the
earth when Cromwell was dictator at
Westmlijstcr, so King David, on ac
count of the uprising of his son Absa
lom, was a fugitive from his Jerusalem
palace. It was not a mere playful squall
which had struck his ship of state.
It wa»^ a tornado, which was ripping
the sails and making the gunwales sink
under the foaming, raging billows.
King David’s head was In danger, and
the whole royal family were menaced
by the Insurrection of which this dis
solute prince was the leader. The
young princes in the London Tower
met the same kind of a fate which
Prince Absalom bad planned out for
bis royal sire, bnt no sooner did the
king’s friends rally to bis standard and
at the risk of their fortunes and their
lives fight the king’s battles and win
back for him bis throne and kill the
young prince than the king closed his
eyes to all bis friends* sacrifices. All
he did was to sit' in his room and weep
and moan aud wring his hands and cry:
‘‘Oh, Absalom, my son, my son, my poor
dead boy! Ob, Absalom,my son fc iuy sou,
my poor boy!” He kept this crying and
walling up for Lours and days. At last
Joab heard of the king’s ingratitude.
He walked into the royal chamber aud
said: “My king, have you any heart?
Can you not realize the sacrifices we
have made for you? Can you not come
forth aud thank us for shedding our
blood, instead of weeping over that li
centious, uutilial child who tried to
murder you?” And today, O man, 1
ask. cannot you s;op woeping over the
i.ves of some people who have been un-
U’i.o to you and open your eyes to the
sacrifices of those who have been de
voting themselves to your comfort and
happiness for the last ten or perhaps
twenty years?
You have lost a child. He died as
the result of his sius, aud you know it.
Yet you weep and cry for that child as
though he had been to you a saint.
What about tbe other children? What
about those lovely daughters and that
fine young son who are growing up by
your side? Are you just to them? L>o
you try to make home happy for them?
Are you true to them? You have a dis
solute father. "Oh,” you keep coui-
plaiuing, "if my father were only wbat
he ought to be!” Well, be is not. You
cannot help that. But what about your
mother? Have you ever thanked God
that you have such a mother? Have
not her noble example and her tender
sacrifices been enough to start out a
dozen boys like you right, even though
your father has not been what lie ought
to be t And yet the strange fact of life
Is this: Most of our modern King Da
vids will go on winning and groaning
and complaining about one person who
has done them a wrong and neglect to
show gratitude to the scores of noble
souls about them who are doing all in
their power to make them happy and
blessed.
'A lirave Girl.
Ob, the meanness of not trying to do
all we can for those who are doing ev
erything for us: Some years ago there
joined my church oue of the bravest
young women I ever knew. Her father
died when she was a young girl. Theh
the executors robbed tbe widowed
mother of her ah. The young girl, who
was brought up in luxury, went forth
to earn her daily bread. The mother
never seemed to care or to realize what
that daughter was doing. From morn
ing until night she kept up her never
ending series of complaints. She com
plained about being left a widow; she
complained about loss of money; she
complained because she had to live
where she did and that her daughter
had to be away all day long. “But,” I
said one day, “madam, you surely
should be thankful for that girl of
yours. A nobler girl I never knew. Of
course yon have to be alone, but think
of her down at the office working. It
is not very pleasant for her.” “Yes,”
said the complaining old lady, “I sup
pose I ought to be thankful and not
complain, but it is my disposition, and
I can’t help It.” Ah, me! How many
of us are like that dissatisfied old lady!
How many of us are like King David!
We brood over our misfortunes so long
that we not only make life miserable
for ourselves, but add to tbe burdens
of those who are striving to make our
lives happy and blessed.
But King David was awakened to
more than a sentimental realization of
his blessings. General Joab gave to
him a moral aud spiritual galvanic
shock, which startled his hands, bis
ears, his eyes, as never before. He
made tbe king leap to his feet and stop
his foolishness. General Jpab practi
cally said to King David: “It Is not
only mean and contemptible for you to
Ignore the sacrifices your people have
made for you, but it is more. This
foolish crying proves to the world that
you are unfit longer to be king. If
you do not stop it your best friends
will turn against you. Within u few
weeks you will have another Insurrec
tion upon your bauds, compared to
which the late uprising will seem only
a plaything. You will he hurled from
your throne, and another will take
your place, and lhat rightly, for If n
man does not do as he ought to do the
world will* throw him aside, aud he will
huye no one to blame but himself.”
Ah, that was a brave act of General
Joab! It was one of the bravest acts
of his life. He was willing, If neces
sary, to sacriflee his own life in order
that his friend and king might see the
error of his ways and guard against
the danger lurking at his feet. Are
you and I willing to be us true to our
friends as Joab was to his king?
An Eauy Task.
It is easy to praise our friends when
they do right or to defend them when
they have Injustice perpetrated against
them. The story is told that many
years ago the otticers of the army of
the king of Hanover refused to have
anything to do with a young lieutenant
Who tyid been promoted on the field of
battle for gallantry. They claimed
that he was not tbclr social equal even
though the shoulder straps of a com
missioned officer were his. Tbe king
beard about tbe boycott. The next
day at parade he called the young man
to his side. Then, arm In arm with the
lieutenant, he walked before the whole
army assembled on dress parade. Then
that night, as his special guest, the
king took the young officer with him
to a banquet. Of course when the king
went arm In arm with the young man
the other officers at once felt he was
not only their social equal, hut a friend
well worth cultivating. "Yes,” I said
to myself as I read that story, “how
easy it Is for some of us to walk arm
In arm with our friends when they are
doing right, but how hard It Is for
some of us to take the hands of our
friends when they do wrong and to
speak to them kindly and firmly and
yet lovingly, as Joab told King Darld
about his faults.”
How hard it Is for the minister’s wife
to go to her husband after the sermon
has been preached and say: “John, you
ought not to have said that! When you
tell incidents like that in the pulpit
you are truly undermining your own
Influence, and you do but little good.”
How hard it is for a minister’s wife
to do that! Y’et there Is many a minis
ter today who Is ready to say that he
would not be what he Is unless his
wife had been a faithful critic of his
sermon. How hard it is to tell that old
boyhood friend that he Is doing wrong
and that unless he stops his sins his
life will be ruined. How hard It is to
tell that young girl classmate that she
has no business to bo going out at
night with tbe men with whom she is
going! Easy to praise our friends for
their virtues! Are you ready to be true
and brave and to lift the danger signal
over your friends’ faults? You know
you can put your baud upon the life
weaknesses of your frieuds as no one
else can. Are you ready to be a Gen
eral Joab to your King David?
But we must not stop here. When
we find King David going forth to
work we also find General Joab, the
great emancipator of grief. When we
find David being induced to go forth
to meet tbe responsibilities of bis king
dom we find him breaking the shackles
of sorrow which have bound him hand
and foot, as the Roman captives used
to be bound to the chariots of their
conquerors in the triumphal entries
into the capital of the Caesars. And
thus, my friends, if you aud 1 want to
be truly helpful to our friends In their
time of trouble, we should not try so
much to pet them aud sympathize with
them, but we should go as General
Joab went to King David to compel
them to go forth aud do something.
Work ns a raunoea.
Work is the best panacea for grief.
Many years ago a great trouble came
to my father's home. The best com
forter my father had was not to be
found among those who came to weep
with him aud to sympathize with him,
but the best comforter was the old
classmate who came and said: “Do
Witt, 1 am going through trouble far
worse than yours. My wife for ten
years lias been in the insane asylum.
I want to give you the only cure I
know to help you at this time. Do
not stay at home and cry. Go forth
into God's great harvest field aud work.
Work for God in the morning, work
for God at noon, work for God at night,
work aud keep on working for God all
the time, and the blessed comfort from
G6d will be yours.” Thus, my brother,
when you aud I are going to carry true
comfort to our friends in their time of
trouble do not go to them to pet them.
Go to them and rouse them out of them
selves by urging them to do something
for some oue else. It was by work
that David overcame hts grief, not by
selfish tears aud sobs and weepings in
the silence of his bedchamber.
Aud by the same reasoning, If there
be any blessing above all others for
which you and 1 should be thankful In
our days of adversity, it is for the
blessing of work. By imposing on us
the necessity of earning our daily bread
aud caring for those who are depend
ent upon us God Is able to throw off
the heavy burdens of our grief. And
how near those burdens were once to
destroying us! I today would have
you treasure your necessity of work
ing for your daily existence. Sorrow
and trouble raised their axes and
smote at you. At first you were stun
ned by the cruel blows. But hardly
had the blows of trouble and sorrow
descended when, like David, you bud
to be up and out and doing. And in
your necessity for dally toll you found
oue of God’s great panaceas for grief.
Oh. my friends, thank God today that
you have to work aud continue to work
and, like King David, that you have to
work all the time.
But there is another fact 1 want you
to notice about Jonh's upbrnldment and
denunciation. He did not waste any
words about other people’s shortcom
ings. He did not go to the king and
say: “Now, David, Absalom was an
ungrateful dog. You ought to have
banged him long ago. And those peo
ple who mutinied against you and
made you flee from your capital ought
to be sought out and punished.” Oh,
no, Joab did not bother himself about
crying over the departed past. He
practically said to David: “Here, the
Insurrection has taken place. An aw
ful lot of damage has been done. There
Is no use of talking about who caused
the difficulty. The one great fact we
want to solve is how can wo get the
kingdom hack upon its old, stable foun
dation. It is not now a question who
set fire to your palace, but how we can
put the conflagratltii out. Now, you
had better get out of this room as soon
as possible and get back to your capital
and pick up the reins of government
without one moment’s delay.” And
David returned and came to the Jor
dan and went back to Jerusalem. Are
you and I ready to do as did David?
Are you trying to Jump In and over
come the evil deeds of others Instead
of sitting down and crying about them
and magnifying them?
The world will never be saved by our
proving that other people are liars and
Ingrates. I read an article some years
ago, which I cut out of a paper and
pasted in my scrapbook, with the pur
pose of quoting It, but I lost the article
aud lost the book. The article, how
ever, went something like this: “What
Is the use of men in business complain
ing that their employees are t'othful
aud Ignorant? What is the use of say
ing that your help Is lazy and untrue
and selfish? Men have always been
lazy and untrue aud selfish ever since
the world was started. It Is the strong
leader and the successful man who
takes his employees as they are and
does not sit down aud complain about
them. The successful man In spite of
drawbacks uses all men for the best
purposes for which they can be used.
“Ah, yes,” I said when I read that ar
ticle, “how true, how true! The sue.
cessful merchant Is not the merchant
who has perfect clerks, but ho takes
his clerks as they are and drills tliCTn
and keeps on drilling them until in
spite of themselves they are compelled
to do his bidding. The successful cap
tain Is a man who, like Paul Jones, can
Inspire a mixed crew, made up of all
different nationalities, to fight his bat
tles as though they were made out of
the stuff of heroes. And the strong
man for God Is not the man who sits
down and repines over the weaknesses
of his fellow men. He is like Joab,
ready to shut his eyes to other men’s
faults aud out of men’s weaknesses
build up his own towers of strength.”
Even a lion can be strangled to death
with spider webs if you can weave
enough of thorn together into one rope.
Tbe sunbeams can change a ship's hull
into coals of fire if you can only focus
tb<5 sun's rays upon it by a powerful
burning glass.
What Gladstone Said.
But I must not close without drawing
your attention to one other fact. The
awakened king was not a young man.
He was not even a middle aged man.
I ibink bis hair was white aud his step
was becoming slower with age, and he
knew it. William E. Gladstone said
just before he gave up bis English pre
miership. “I feel that the sands of my
life are running out.” King David
must have felt his sands of life running
away also. His grown children proved
it. Absalom must have been a grown
man. No mere hoy could have had the
brains or the power to raise the insm-
rection which he did. Absalom was
evidently a fully developed man. This
meant that David, as the father, was
probably past the fiftieth milestone if
not nearing his threescore years of age.
Now, uiethinks, when this insurrection
started, David lost all his moral back
bone. I can almost hear him soliloquiz
ing something like this:
“What is the use of my fighting? I
am an old man. If I were young, as
in the days when I fought Goliath.
I could fight now; but. old and worn
out, there is not much use. I .think I
had hotter abdicate. It will only be a
few years at the most, and then I must
die.’-- But Joab bad none of this non
sense in him. He came to tbe king and
practically said: “Your majesty, your
best days are abend. Get up out of this
roout aud go to work. Your last years
of reigning over Israel are to he your
best years.” My friends, my middle
aged or white haired friends. 1 bring to
you Jonh's salutation, “Your best days
are ahead; up and out.” That Is what
your motto should be. YVn, up and out
now!
You are discouraged, like David.
Thiugs have not been going right in
business, have they? The younger men
In the partnership want to push you to
the wall? Don’t you let them do it.
Things have not been going right in the
homo and In the church. People say
you are an old fogy and that you look
at things through antiquated spectacles.
Don’t you let them push you aside.
Who ought to be so well fitted to lead
and mold the world as the mature mid
dle aged and white haired teachers or
ministers or merchants or church mem
bers? It is a sad cry which the world
Is calling today: “Give us young men!
Let us have only young men!” The
voice of the church and the voice of
the world should be the voice of Joab:
“Give us older men for our leaders.
Give us older men iu the pulpit and In
the pew and in legislative hall.” The
best days of King David were his last
days. The best days of your earthly
life, O aging man, are ahead, al
though at the present time, as with
David just after Absalom’s death, con
ditions may seem to be black and al
most hopeless. And I say this with
the greatest confidence because I be
lieve that the blackness and hopeless
ness of your present troubles will drive
you closer and closer to Jesus Christ,
who alone is able to fit you for service
for your fellow men.
How black the world seems at times,
even under the brightest of conditions!
A short time before Henry Irving, the
greatest actor of his day, passed away
he made this statement: “With the ap
plause of Ihe theater still ringing In
my ears, with the memory of kind
faces emblazoned on my memory, with
the eonseloBsness that I have won the
affections of multitudes whom I cannot
meet in person, I have often gone borne
from the theater feeling utterly deso
late aud alone, yearning for the inti
mate human companionship which fate
has denied me.”
As Henry Irving was yearning for
an intimate human companionship
you, on account of your troubles, have
been yearning for Christ. Thus in clos
ing I commit you uuto the hands of
my Saviour. He is the Christ who will
lead you if you let him. He will lead
you out of your troubles Just as he led
the king of olden times. He may not
lead you to a throne of earthly power,
but he will lead you to a throne of
heavenly glory. Into the Saviour’s
bauds I commit thee today, O King
David, as I declare again: “Thy best
days are ahead. Thy best days of earth
and heaven are ahead if you will let
David’s God lead you ns he will.”
