iarly timely, in view of the great Jap
anese famine, is this sermon, In which
the preacher shows how marvelously
Cod cares for those who trust in him.
The text is I Kings .v/ll, 14. “The bar-
i rel of meal shall not waste, neither
: shall the erusc of oil fail.”
God giyuit that gaunt, haggard,
parched skinned, death dealing fam
ine may never stalk through the streets
of our fair cities. Lore’s most vivid
conceptions of Dante’s hell and Ho
garth’s most horrible caricatures of
degradation and vice and Vassili Ve-
i resehagin's most realistic scenes of
the blood soaked battlefields of the
Turkish and Russian war cannot eoai-

j that have been witnessed when mad

We loaye the hills aud the valleys of

Men and women arid children were dy
ing by the ^scoivh* andCthe hundreds.
Fever-and scurvy'were every- day add
ing to the death list. Tiie whole city
was becoming one great charnel house.
The fields \?h(»re once grew the har
vest wew* as hard as balyed and crack
ed clay. As 1 stand in lmaguMitio&
upon the oat^kirts of the city, amid
thepe sceiics/of desolation and death,
I see « humVIt* woman, weak and tot
tering, gathering a few sticks to hvtld
a fire. Along comes a tall, gaunt, dig
nified man. He looks like a born load
er of men. He accosts Ui^wotuan
aotneftiiug like tills:
They Were Starvlnc-
“Woman, I pray tkee ( . hasten and
bring me drln’k.” She turns to do his
bidding. Then in a matter of fact way
this , stranger says, "Brina me, I pfty
thee,fa morsel of bread inAhine hand.”
He practically says, “When you go for
w^tor bring a little food too.” The
woman, weak and tottering from star
vation, turns and looks at him in
amazement. Thca she speaks in this
•wise: “Man, what are you talking
about? Are you mad? We are starv
ing. We are dying. The dead in our
streets lie unburied! I have starved
a«d starved. I have cut the daily sup
ply of food, down and down, until nov
we are at the end. 1 have but a hand
ful of meal andia little oil. I am going to
cook this for my son, and then we shall
both lie' down and die.” With that
Elijah the Tisbblte said: “Woman, do
as I say and God will take care of thee.
For thus saith the Lord, The, barrel of
meal shall not waste, neither shall the
erase of oil'fail, until the da/ the Lord
sendeth raki upon the face of the
earth.” Buch is the simple s£pry of how
God saved the poor widow and her son
during the Zarephath famine, because
she was willing to do what God’s
prophet commanded.
The Zarephath famine, in the first
place, teaches that the good and the in-
Bocent must conjointly suffer from the
evil results of the deeds of the bad.
Sir Walter Scott’s business partners
did wrong. The innocent Sir Walter
Scott had to suffer. The owner of Ab
botsford bad to shoulder $600,000 debt.
The son-in-law of Francois Grevy prov
ed to be a scoundrel. Innocent Fran
cois Grevy had to resign the presi
dential chair of France because his
son-in-law, Wilson, was convicted of
selling the decorations and the offices
of the government for cash. The April
shower falls upon the Just and the un
just, upon the wheat and the tares
alike. The evil deeds of a husband
curse not only himself, but his wife
and his children also. When the way
ward Ilebgfiv prince was bung, David,
the broken hearted father, went to bis
“chamber over the gate and wept, and
as he went thus be said: ‘O my son
Absalom, my son, my son, my son Ab
salom! Would God I had died for
tbe^ O Absalom, my son, my sonf ”
The prodigal In bis rags and in dis
grace in the far country tending the
herd of swine, sharing with them their
fodder nnd chewing the husks thrown
to the ‘ four footed, unclean, filthy
beasts, is not more pathetic than the
mourning parent, waiting and watch
ing for his youngest boy to come back
home. Yes, yes; sin brings the famines
which afflict the good and the bad, the
Innocent and the guilty alike. The evil
deeds of an Ahab and a Jezebel caused
the poor widow of Zarephath and her
only son to starve.
Cannot you find any ^direct connec
tion between the sins of Ahab’s palace
and the hunger gnawing at this poor
widow’s vitals? We ascend the beauti
ful hills of Samaria. We find there a
heathen temple. We find there the
king’s palace, a place ef licentiousness
and immoral filth and drunken carous
als. Then we hear the prophet say:
“Abab and Jezebel, on account of your
sins I will send a drought upon the
laud. For three long years not a drop
of rain shall fall.” “Aha,” laughed the
sinful monarch, “I am not afraid!
Such a beautiful country and such rich
farm land as ours will never be turned
into a desert. Threatening prophet. I
defy thee!” But day after day the hot
sun burned. Day after day, week after
week, month after month, no rain or
dew. Two long years of drought had
passed over tiie land. The vineyards
I were gone. The harvests were gone.
The orchards were gone. God was starv-
i ing Ahab ami Jezebel. But while he was
starving the king and queen the poor
widow and her only son were also suf
fering in the Zarephath hut. The sins
of'the fathers are visited upon the chil
dren even unto the third and the fourth
gancnUions. Ine good aud the innocent
suffer for the evil deeds of the corrupt
aud tne befouled. O man, be not :vn
Ahab'! O woman, do not become a
| Jazebel! Avoid tho sin which will
bring a curse and blight on the hearts
of the innocant ones by your side as
well as on your own dives.
i
Leaaoa of the 1'anilne.
i ’Hiis eastern famine teaches us an
other lesion. 1 od always honors the
i men and the vomen who honor bis
! messengers. tie honored this poor
starring wldo r of Zapephath. Why?
She was read - to car* for au^l house
his ambasssi'or, Elijah the Tishbite.
He honored ! abali the harlot. She se-
croted* the s cs^that Joshua sent to
Jericho. lit honored Abraham. Abra
ham welcom 'd t® hla table the three
angels who came to his that on the
plains of Mature. He honored N§a-
maa. Naaman was ready to obey the
**mmands of Elisha. He honored Da
vid. David wept befwe Nathan.'' He
boaored Hezekiab. Hezekiah honored
Isaiah. All through the Bible you can
find this mighty and far reaching law
enuaciated v and^ illustrated whereby
God blessos those who honor his repre
sentatives and denounces those who
dosplsc or turn their backs upon bis
aanbassadors.
The teaching* of tho Old and New
Testament in this respect are^one. In
the Psalms we rpad, “Touch not mino
anointed and do my prophetsmo hasm.”
Then, as an indorsement, we find the
following in Mirtthew in reference to
Christy mitsLdnarios, spoken by Jesus
hlmseff: “And whosoever shalLnot re
ceive you, itor hear your words, whea
yo depart out of that bouse you shall
shake off^tho duet of your feet. Veri
ly, I eay unto you, it shall be more ter
rible for the land of 8miom and Go-
monrahyfB tho day of judgment than
for that city ” But though God bids us
honor bis reproontalives, aa the Zare
phath woman honored and cared fer
Elijah, yet today there seems to' be a
tendency abroad to criticise and de
nounce God's minister* and to patron
izingly ridicule them a great deal
more than you would any other class
of men. The result is that scores and
hundreds' of young men who ought to
be preaching in the pulpit have been
turned aside because of the way some
congregations ureat their ministers.
Whet They Wanted.
In the first place, many churches are
simply starving their preachers to
death while they themselves demand
all the exoellenciM of earth and heav
en in their pastors. Rev. Dr. Haven
some tirncTigo told about a'letfer which
a Virginia parish sent to Professor
Rice, requesting a minister. “The peo
ple,” this loiter declared, “want a
man of first class endowments.” They
wanted a literary preacher, for seme
of the young people were literary.
They wanted a minister who would
visit a good deal, for their former pas
tor had neglected to do as much ot
that as they could have wished. They
wanted a man of winsome and fasci
nating social personality, for the peo
ple thought a good deal of that. They
wanted h good organizer as well as »
fine orator. After they had gone on
describing the kind of a perfect min
ister they wished, they ended the letter
in this wise: “We have been paying our
last minister $330 a year, but if you
could send us just the kind of a man
we want we think we can raise his sal
ary $50 more and give to him $400 a
year.” With that. Dr. Rice sat down
and wrote the following ironical letter
to this exacting congregation:
Dear Friend*—Your letter received and
content* carofufiy noted. I know Just the
minister you need, if you can gat him.
Make out a call to Dr. Timothy Dwight,
late president of Yale college, who is now
In heaven. He is the only being I know
who can meet all yodr requirements. And
as Dr. Dwight has been living so long in
heaven on spiritual food perhaps he may
not need any material food and could
therefore easily exist on your salary of
MOO per year.
Then study how some minister* are
ill treated in other ways in some coun
tries. God never spiritually blesses a
country, a church or au individual
that i* not willing to honor, respect
and care for his ambassadors, as the
Zarephath widow cared for Elijah the
! Tisbblte. Yet to hear some men talk
you would think they were conferring
j an honor upon a preacher or a kind
ness on a pastor merely because they
ivmie to ''hurch at all. Joseph Parker
once denounced the supercilious way
some men have of looking down upon
and despising the ministry. “A per
son once asked «4ne to lend him $5,”
said he, “on the ground that he had
long attended my ministry. Possibly
the man richly deserved a sovereign
for having done so. At the same time.
It is n popular mistake to suppose that
the minister is the party receiving the
favor. He gives his hearers his best
thinking, his best powers of all kinds,
and It Is, therefore, a pity to show
him thankfulness by borrowing money
of him.” And. my friends, I go further
than that; I assert that I never found
any men or women a practical bit of
use in church work or in any spiritual
line unless they not only honored the
ministry, but respected ministers when
they stood in the pulpit expounding
the word of God. “One of the Itanda-
mental reasons why old Scotland be
came the spiritual power dt was and
is,” said John McNeil, “Is because old
Scotland respected the ministry.” May
God help us to honor God’s representa
tives or messengers or ambassadors or
clergymen, a-s the Zarephath widow
honored Elijah the Tishbite.
An Hoar of Anxiety.
But as I come to the outskirts of
Zarephath and feel the hot winds
strike my cheek and look off at the
bleak hills and tiie grassless valleys
and see the bones of beast and bird
bleaching on the dry sands I see that
this “eastern drought” had a famine
within a famine. No sooner did Elijah
appear and give to the Zarephath
widow her dally supply of meal and
oil than I think I can hear her heave
a great sigli of relief. ”Ah,” she says.
“mow I know my boy is not going to
die!” ?he felt just ns you ^felt when
a dear friend was put upon the operat-
| lug table. The dreaded morning came.
You ovurtudowa bright aud early to the
bospijal. She lay in bed a little flushed
an ’ her eye bright. Neither you nor
she made any reference to the danger,
but j,u*t as tho doctors and nurses
came into the room, dressed^in white
aprons, to give the anaesthetic she
flung her arun about your neck and
whispered: “Goodhy, dear friend. If
1 den’t wake up. goodhy, gaodby!” Oh.
yes; yeiv remember that day! They
carriedpher out on the stretcher. The
door of that awful operating room was
shut. You could not see: you dare not
go in. You walked up a*d down tire
hall, up nnd^down. You convulsively
clasped your Lauds. You kep\saying.
“O- God, save her! O God, give me
hack my darling! O God, save her.
save her! Give her hack t* N me!”
Ihen^you remember the c thankful
prayeT you uttered when the doctor
opened the door and putabls head out
of the room aud said: “Sire ia all right
Everything is all right.”
This was the feeling of relief vmd
gratitude of yonder mother of Zare
phath slid knew tha* her boy was
hot going to starve to deatlL The dan
ger of starvation was past. We can
see the boy growing fat ant iflump.
The mother’s step has become strong
and elastic. As (lie lad plays before
her door we can *ee her smile a* she
hears his happy laugh. Mefhinks, per
haps. she ha* been growing a little
cavalCs* ari l forgetful of late'toward
God, as some of us do whto we are
surrounded by many apparently per
manent blessings. Suddenly the long
arm of death reaches through the open
ed window of this woman’s hut. The
arm may be covered with flesh. The
arm nfray not n skeleton from starva
tion. but it is the any of death. With
in a few, hours the child is dead. At
once,the widow goes to Elijah and begs
of him/ by the power of God', to re
store iMto her the life of her boy. Eli
jah. by God’s power, does so. What Is
the practical observation? ftannot yon
grasp In every drought of Zer«-
phufh there is a famine within a fatfline.
there,is always a death within a'deatb,
a temptation within a temptation. If
you and I are ever going to be spiritual
ly safe we must always keepjjving near
to God, else the second death will l*e as
bad as the first death.
When the first moral or spiritual
dangers of life are past it is easy to
blind our eyes to the second and the
third and the fourth and the tenth aud
(he twentieth peril. “Let him that
thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
fall.” Here, for instance, is a man
who for years has been addicted to in
toxicating drink. He has fought It aud
fought it until at last by the grace of
God he has triumphed. But though for
years he has never tasted a glass ef
liquor he ha* become so absorbed in
making money that he has gradually
drifted away from walking with God.
One day he has an awful awaken
ing. He finds that big faith In Jesuit
Christ is gone or that his only boy, who
is now more to him than his life, is a
drunkard, a libertine or a thief. This
is a danger he never dreamed about
or guarded against. Famine within
famine; death within death. And so
my friends, no matter bow many dan
gers God has rescued us from in the
past, that is no reason why we should
turn our backs upon God now. Like
the poor widow of Zarephath, we must
live and continue to live close to God,
for there are moral and spiritual dan
gers everywhere we turn and every
where we look.
Lasted aa Lone as Heeded.
But did you ever stop to consider
how long this supply of meal and oil
lasted? Just as long as the famine
lasted. No more, no less. No sooner
did the rain descend upon the earth
and the orchards began to give forth
their fruits aud the gardens their vege
tables and the fields their harvests
than this mira<-u)ous supply of food
stopped as suddenly as the manna of
the wilderness ceased when the chil
dren of Israel j,;;«sed over the Jordan
Into the promised laud. When man
can help himse f Clod always expects
him so to do. God never takes care of
a man who is not willing to help take
care of himself.
Metblnks I can hear a conversation
between two lazy men of the Isracdit-
Isb |irmy the day after 'hey had passed
over into the promised laud. Joshua
was sending forth his foraging parties
to provide food for the encampment.
“Oh,” says one of these men to the
other, “there may be lots of rich grapes
around here and lots of deer and birds,
but I guess I will not hunt after them.
Hunting always makes me tired. Come,
let’s go out and get the manna. The
manna is good enough for me. We do
not have to work for that.” And so
they go forth to collect their dally sup
ply. What has happened? For the
first week day In over forty years the
ground Is tiare. God never helps a
man when he can help himself. Aud
so metblnks I can see this poor wid
ow after the gardens are moistened
with the rain say to her son, “Come,
my boy, let us go out and get the din
ner.” But w’hen she looks into the
barrel It is empty. Then she looks
into the cruse, and the oil is gone. God
said, “The barrel of meal shall not
waste nor the cruse of oil fall until
the day the Lord sendeth rain upon
the earth.” God never helps a man
when he is able/to help himself.
Standing by Zarephftth of tha east,
art* you ready to go to work iin God’s
vineyard and do the best you can for
God? Showers of blessings are fall-
isg everywhere arduud ss. Are you
i ready to give up /our life to the serv
ice of the Master? Remember that
when this^poor widow gave to Elijah
of the little she had there was not only
enough for the Tishbite, but also
enough left! for herself and Wr boy.
Are you ready to give your all for
Christ and irust him fhat lie will care
and provide for you? Are you ready to
give of'yeur portion to kelp others who
need- it sorely, like those poor farmer
folk in famine stricken Japan? The
reason some of us do not grow in spir
itual life is because we expect God to
do all, and we are not willing to give
I all.
T* thy yruse of comfort failing?
Rise and share it wit/h another,
And through all the year* of famine
It shall serve thoe and Wiy brother;
Love divine will fill thy storehouse
Or thy handful still renow.
Scanty f ire for one will often make
A royal fthst for two.
Aud who was this Zarephath wo
man? W’as she a Hebrew? Wn-s ahea
believer in the true God? Oh, no; not
in the beginning. She was a native of
a city of Kidon. 'Hist city was not'a
Hebrew province. She was a gen; ie.
In dther words, whsn Elijaji spoke to
Urfs widow of Zarephath'he beaame,
as Dr. Lightfoot expresses It. “the
first prophet- to Hi* gentiles.” Today,
like Elijah, I seem to be appealing npt
only to those who tove Ch?ist, but also
to those who mre of Shlon, or outside of
the church of God. Like this woman
of Zarephath, will you receive me a*
fije messenger of God? Will you ac
cept my Kkviour as jqpur Srfviour,?
May we, In famine of sin, be
auecored and^savsd bjr the God of Eli
jah, Hie God who saved lire poor
widow of Zarephath.

How Thebaw Learned ■taarltab.
It is well known that Thebaw had
learned to speak English In Bangui)
and had beea in a mission school in
that town, which happened in the fol
lowing manner: His father inspected
the school and expressed his satisfac
tion. To him the misMomiry ssid:
“If your majesty would really en
courage us you would sead one of your
sons to our sCbosl.”
“Certainly," rejoined the affable mon
arch. “What age should the boy be?”
“About fifteen, your majesty."
Turning to his prime minister the
king said, "Have I a son of about fif
teen?”
“Oh, yes; many, your majesty.” was
the rejoinder, and so a lord of white
elephants learned English.—Pall Mall
Gazette.
The Bell HTte.
Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who is
attempting to make a flying machine
from foursided kites attached to one
another, has succeeded in building one
which with a good wind will lift a man
weighing 165 pounds. His kite weigh
ed sixty-one pounds and carried a load
of ropes weighing sixty-two pounds.
The total load of the kite exclusive of
its own weight was, therefore, 227
pounds. If Dr. Bell should add to his
achievement of giving the telephone to
the world that of successfully solving
the problem of aerial navigation he
would enjoy a unique fame.—Youtli’s
