Mr
Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a change a
tew years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
.neglect. Few young women appreciate
tno shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
'When there is derangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly

happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce’s Fa

the meat healing ealve In the worM.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 19.—In this
sermon the preacher shows us John,
; the beloved disciple, in a new’ light
; and as a model of strength, courage
and heroism for Christians of every
; age. The text is John xlii, 23, “Now
! there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one
of bis disciples, whom Jesus loved.”
No art student feels that he has truly
studied to the best advantage unless
be has sat at the feet of the old mas
ters. What Mecca is to the Moham
medans and Benares to tire Hindoos
and Jerusalem to the Christians, Borne
and Venice and Florence and Milan
and Paris and Antwerp are to the
young artists and sculptors. So over
come was Michael Angelo when be
first looked upon the wonderful figure
of St. George carved by the sculptor
Donatello on the outside of the church
of San Michel at Florence that for a
time he could not speak. Then as be
studied the magnificent proportions of
that greatest of all the great works of
the Florentine sculptor he raised his
ham! majestically and cried, “Now.
march!” In these two simple words
| the architect of St. Peter’s, the sculp-
; tor of “David” and “Moses” and the
artistic creator of “The Last J udgment”
j and of the frescoes of the Pauline
! chapel affirmed that the statue of St.
George was perfect in its physical pro-
i portions and' had everything in its
makeup but a human soul.
The works of the old masters are
almost overpowering; hence we find
that the greatest art schools of the
world arc near to the galleries in which
are preserved the immortal pictures
and the statues of the greatest artists
| and sculptor-! of past centuries. The
Louvre has m >re to do with attracting
art students to the “Latin quarter” of
Paris by the hundreds and thousands
than any other cause. Not a day pass
es but you can see scores of yvong stu
dents, with their easels, copying Mu
rillo’s “Holy Family” or his “Assump
tion of tlie Virgin,” wliieh hang upon
the Louvre’s walls. There Uubens and
Rembrandt and Velasquez and Fra
Bartolemeo and Da Vinci are still as
much art professors as though they
were alive iu the fiesh. What Is true
of Paris Is equally true of all the Ital
ian cities. So much are the models of
the ancient artists sought after for
copying purposes that the Italian gov
ernment has forbidden any of its sub
jects to sell any of these old master-
j pieces to any buyer outside of the
! country,. The king of Italy knows that
the loss of the works of the old mas-
j ters would be irreparable, and if they
were scattered one of the greatest glo
ries of I Lay would have vanished for
ever,
Wh%t Raphael’s Madouuas are to
the young art students as models, the
i characters of Moses and Joshua and
Samuel and Nehemiah and Daniel and
John the Baptist and Peter and Paul
and John, the beloved disciple, are
to young Christians. These Bible char-
! acters are not perfect, any more than
! the artistic works of the old masters
are perfect. Paul Veronese, one of the
l greatest of Venetian artists, painted
his female characters of “The Family
j of Darius at the Feet of Alexander
After the Battle of Issus” in the hoop
skirts and low bodiced waists of the
i Venetian costumes of the sixteenth
| century, although the battle of Issus
was fought a third of a millennium be
fore Christ was born. There is only
one perfect being mentioned In the
Bible, and that person is Jesus Christ.
But though the l)est Bible characters
are not perfect, yet, many of them are
rightly held up as prototypes for young
Christiana to copy after. Today I want
to speak about one of the best and
| noblest of the apostles for us to ama-
j late. I want to show how St. John
was strong, and how he was one of
i the most lufiuential and perhaps the
best beloved of all the disciples who
gathered about the table at the last
supper, Just preceding the crucifixion.
St. Joha a Modal.
The model of my text, in the first
place, was, I believe, a Christian of
superb physical proportions. He was
not, as some people suppose, a physical
weakling. He did not hare his bead
pillowed ui>on Christ’s breast at the
banquet table of the last supper be
cause he was a suffering Invalid. Oh,
no. Far from that. Of all the stal
wart young men gathered about this
table—for at that time they were prob
ably all young—St. John, I believe, had
, the best apd the strongest physical
frame. His eye, like David’s, the shep
herd boy, must have been clear and
quick. His limbs must have been sup
ple and sinewy. Ills chest must have
been broad and deep. His skin must
have been aglow with health. He
must have had the body of an athlete.
He must have been a young man bub
bling over with fun and good humor,
on account of the resiliency of bis
strong physical constitution. He must
have bad all the advantages which ac
crue from good health, because the
Bible Indirectly affirms It.
How does the Bible assert this? You
must read between the lines. The Bi
ble Implies that John lived to be a
i very old man. You must not study 8t.
I John the young man at the foot of the
| cross unless you study St. John an old
tnan on the Island of Patmos. There
be was supposed to have lived to a
very advanced age. Albert Barnes de
clared that In all probability It John
most have lived far on In the nineties
before be died. Like Titian, (he great
artist, who died of the Venetian plague
lu his ninety-ninth year, St. John may
have almost reached the century mark
before be passed to glory. Now, no
man could have lived as long as St.
John lived and have done the work he
did unless he started with an unlimited
supply of physical health and had care
fully husbanded Lis health all through
life. Lord Palmerston, governing the
destinies of England in ids eighty-first
year, and William E. Gladstone, still
vigorous and ambitious at eighty-five,
and Count von Moltke, the most emi
nent member of the German reichstag
at ninety, and Daudolo, the doge of
Venice, leading his soldiers in battle at
the age of ninety-five, and Homer, a
blind old man, writing his "Odyssey”
when nearly all of the contemporaries
of his own generation were dead and
gone, were not any greater physical
marvels than this young man who Is
the prototype of this morning's text
Stronger Than Peter.
But we do not have to turn to Reve
lation to prove that John was phys
ically a marvel. There is another rea
son why I know St. John had tft'superb
physical body. When we read the
twentieth chapter of St. John we find
Peter and John running toward the
rifled tomb on the morning of the res
urrection. Which was the swifter of
foot? There, In John’s own words,
we read, “And the other disciple did
outrun Peter.” Now, no one for a mo
ment would Judge the physique of Pe
ter to be that of valetudinarian. Oh.
no! His muscles were those of a pow
erfully formed fisherman. Ills skiu
was bronzed from many a hot sun nud
tempest beating down upon Lake Gali
lee. When the artists draw his picture
it Is always with the swarthy neck and
the deep chest. Yet this other disciple
did outrun Peter. When John sur
rendered his life to the work of the
Master he did not have to say, “Hete,
Lord, is a pair of wheezy lungs and a
heart whose valves are out of gear and
it brain with all its corpuscles white.”
He did not say, “Here, Lord, are my
weak nerves, too much out of tune to
do anything but call for a medicine
chest.” Oh, no—that was not St. John!
He came to the Master and said:
“Here, Lord, is a flue physical body. I
was born well. I promise to take care
of this body to my uttermost aud
make It a mighty agent to do thy
work. I will keep It well supplied
with food. I will look after It to my
best ability, so that I may live on
earth fivescore years If possible to do
thy work. Here it is, Master. Take It
for thy service.” Will we consecrate
our bodies to God, as did John? If we
are prone to physical ailments, will we
do all In our power to win back that
health iu order to become physical as
well as spiritual athletes In the Mas
ter’s services?
“Oh, yes,” say some people, “John
was one of those lovable men. He
was one of those clinging vines. He
was the gentle John. He never would
say anything to hurt anybody’s feel
ings. He would go miles and miles to
tell a pleasant fact. He would go miles
aud miles to escape telling an unpleas
ant truth.” lu other words, most art
ists paint John with an effeminate
face, lie is supposed to have a face
which could never belong to a great
surgeon who has to drive in the knife
or to a great prosecuting attorney who
has to arraign a criminal at the bar of
justice or to a great commander who
has to lead on his soldiers in battle or
to a great statesman who has to sign n
death warrant when it is necessary
and right so to do. We do not picture
him as a man of wrath aud denuncia-
ilou, but only of pardon and of peace,
whereas, in fact, no human face should
be chiseled with firmer features of de
cision. lie was a positive man through
aud through. He seemed to be able to
handle the thunderbolts of heaven as
uo inspired writer before or since has
ever been able to do. Where can we
find such awful descriptions of eternal
punishment as lu his book of Revela
tion? Where such denunciation of sin
ami eternal death as in his apoca
lypse aud his visions? If you would
be an apostle like 8t. John you must
he an ancompromlslng foe of evil as
well as one who preaches the love and
the pardon and the mercy and the for
giveness of Jesus Christ.
•t. John No Comprominer.
St. John was one of the favorite dis
ciples of Jesus Christ on account of his
positiveness. When the question of
right and wrong came up he was out
and oat, ap and down, through and
through for the right There was no
compromise. Are we going to be like
John in our denunciation of evil?
When It Is necessary to nse the knife
upon the deadly cancer a good sur
geon will keep on driving It In and cat
ting down until be gets out all of the
roots? It Is a dangerous matter, this
tampering with evil. In my Chicago
church there sat Sunday after Sunday
a beautiful woman who was the
mother of three fine children. One day
She came to me and said, "The doctor
wants me to go to the hospital and
have a lump upon my breast cut out.”
The next day she had this operation
done. But the surgeon was one of
those vacillating men. He never did
big work thoroughly. He made a small
Incision nud took out the lump. But
he did uot take the roots away. Withlu
four months the lump came back. Thou
another surgeon saw It. He said: "Had
I done the first operation I could have
saved her life. I fear It Is too late
now." Then he laid that woman upon
the table and began to cut. He cut
away the fleshy part of that woman’s
right side, from the waist up into the
cords of the neck. Rut, alas! he begau
his cutting too late. That mother Is
now In her grave because the first sur
geon did not cut deep enough. This
charge oau never be made against Ht.
John. When he uses the knife upon
the eancsr of sin he cuts clear down
to the root. He was a man of positive
characteristics. His lip was a smiling
lip, but It was a firm lip. May God
help us to be like John. May we
learu how to denounce evil, as well as
to preach the pardoning love of Jesus
Christ.
But as we come into the banquet hall
aud find the twelve apostles gathered
around Jesus for the last supper there
is another characteristic to which I
want to call your attention about this
game St. John. He was not only a dis
ciple who saw visions and dreamed
dreams, but he was one of the most
practical of men. All his castles were
not air castles. All his Utopias were
not anchored iu the cloudlauds. All his
telescopes were not focused upon the
dim future. He could see the grass
growing at his feet as well as the stars
glittering above his head. While he
thought about heaven, he always had
his feet planted upon the soil of earth.
The echoing sounds of the celestial
chorus did uot drown out the roaring
waves beating tliemselves into foam
upon the rocky heights of old Patmos;
neither did the “Bread of Heaven” en
tirely shut his eyes to the necessity of
working lu the harvest fields near his
own home. In other words, when John
prayed he prayed like the common
sense Christian Mr. Spurgeon once told
about. A poor laborer with a large
family broke his leg. Then the good
mau's friends decided to hold a prayer
meetiug to ask God to care for his help
less servant. The meeting was con
ducted by a Deacon Brown. Hardly
had the meeting got under way when
there was a knocking at the sick
man’s door. “Is Deacon Brown In?”
asked a husky, growing youth. “Well,
father wanted me to tell him he did
not have time to attend the meeting
today. He had to work. But he has
sent his prayers and they are out in the
cart.” The prayers that were sent were
piled In au old farm wagon. These
prayers consisted of big bags of pota
toes and l>eef and flour. So when St.
John prayed he prayed with his hands
and feet as weil as with his lips. He
did not worship God as did the devo
tees in the temple of Ino, who always
worshiped their deity by going to sleep;
but he was ready to toll and labor for
his daily bread, as every other man
ought to be.
Nt. John Win* Practical.
“Well,” you ask, “how do you make
St John out to be such a ptactical
man? How do you know he was care
ful about bis money matters and care
ful to provide clothing aud a home?
Does the Bible teach us that? I never
heard of St. John being a capitalist or
careful about his money matters.”
Yes, my friends, I think the Bible tells
us that St. John was very prudent and
careful about the practicalities of life.
Here Is the picture: Christ la dying;
the great drops of agony are wrung
from his brow; groan after groan es
capes his lips; he has only a few hours
more of iife. To whom Is he going to
Intrust the care of his mother? All tho
poets and the painters and the theo
logians love to describe the helpless
ness of Mary the Virgin when Jesus
was about to he born. Tell me, was
she as helpless then, with the big,
brawny Joseph by her side, as she was
on Uie day of the crucifixion, when, as
a broken down, helpless widow, she
knelt dt the foot of the cross to see
her divine Son die? Tell me, where
can you find iu all history a picture so
pathetic as that crucifixion scene of
Mary lu her desolation and helpless
ness? Ah, yes; the most pathetic scene
in all the Bible to me is that broken
hearted widow watching the dying
agony of her divine Son! Agony of
Christ finds its echo in agony of ma
ternal heart; dying gasp of Jesus Is
answered by the moaning cry of this
mother, who swoons away. Now,
Christ was God, but Christ was also
man, and Christ did for his mother
Just what you and I would do for ours
If wc had been in his place. He want-
ad to put her In the care of one who
would never neglect her and never let
her want. He did not give her to
Peter; he was not sure of Peter; Peter
was not steady enough. But he gave
her to the faithful John. He practical
ly said: “John, I know you will never
neglect her; I know you will clothe
her and feed her and give her a home
to shelter her weary bead. Look after
her for my sake.”
Let ns learn to be like the practical
John. A man cannot be a true Chris
tian and be simply a theoretical Chris
tian; be must be a practical Christian.
He must know that It is his duty to
work for his daily bread. He must
make an honest struggle to pay his
butcher, his grocer and his clothiers
bill and to care for those of his own
household, or else he is no Christian at
all. What does James write? He says
your faith most go hand In hand with
yonr works. Your faith can no more
live without works than your hand can
live after It has been amputated from
the arteries of the arm. “Faith, If It
hath not works, is dead.” St. John
was a practical worker as well as a
Patmos seer.
But there are still two more thoughts
to which I would call your attention.
The first Is, John was ready to give op
all for Christ; for Christ’s sake he was
ready to break the home ties and go
Into a foreign land as a missionary
ahd even to yield up bis life. Are yon
and I willing to do so mneb for
Christ? Perhaps we are too old to
become foreign missionaries or minis
ters of the gospel; then the next best
plea that I make Is this: Are you will
ing to give four children up for the
service of the Master, as John went to
minister to the seven churches of
Asls?
In the Master's Berries.
“Oh,” says some one, “I have nothing
to do In reference to bay children eo-
terlng the missionary or the ministerial
fields! That call must corns from Ood.
I do not believe In parent made minis
ters or In parent made missionaries."
Tbs parents have mors to do wttb (ht
children's consecration of (hemselves
than you think. ‘The reason we have
uot our theological seminaries crowd
ed with students today Is because the
parents are not sending their children
there. How are the parents to send
them there? By consecrating their
children’s lives to the Master’s service
at their very birth and by keeping on
consecrating their children to God’s
service every day of their school years.
Then these children cannot help enter
ing the Master’s service any more than
the brothers and the sisters of Henry
Ward Beecher could help entering that
service. WouM you like me to tell you
why Lyman E *:*e!ier’s children turned
out as they did? Well. I will, by quot
ing from the diary of this illustrious
man, written on the day his first child,
the famous Catherine Beecher, was
bom. These are his words:
“Saturday, Sept 0, 1800.—This mo
ment blessed be God, my dear, dear
wife Is delivered of a daughter, and
my soul, my very soul, from agony.
Oh, may I never forget the goodness of
Ood, who has beard our prayer. Jesus,
thou former of the body and father
of the spirit, accept as thine this Im
mortal soul thou hast ushered Into life.
Take, oh, take it to be thine before it
clings around my heart, and never suf
fer us to take it back again. May it
lire to glorify thee on earth and to
enjoy thee forever In heaven. Now.
Lord, we look to thee for grace to help
us rear It for thee. May it be thine for
ever. Amen and amen.” Do you sup
pose any child, or any collection of
children, parentally consecrated to
Jesus Christ as were Lyman Beecher’s,
could turn out otherwise than they
did? If by prayer and consecration
Lyman Beecher could send his boys
and girls Into Christian service, can
not we by prayer make our own boys
and girls devoted Christian workers
for this century, as St. John labored In
foreign lands during the first century?
If by prayer we can consecrate our
children to Christ, shall we not by
prayer first consecrate our own selves
j to his dear name?
And now a closing word of warning.
| Like John, let us be careful that
we remain faithful to Christ unto the
end. Ob, that we might all, as young,
as middle aged, and as old men and
w»men, cling close to the Master!
What do I mean by thlsV Why, 1 sim
ply want to warn you against the
temptations which Satan continually
sets for tiie gray haired, as well as for
the youth of the raven locks.
This is no useless “red light” which 1
am throwing over the rocks lining the
Jagged shores of eternity. When we
were young our friends were continual
ly warning us against sin. But when
we became older, when we made a
success lu life, when we became min
isters In the pulpit or elders by the
communion table or mothers of grown
up daughters, the people seemed to
think we were safe. Are we? Was
Solomon safe? Was David safe? Are
you safe, oh. father or mother? What
is the sin that is beckoning to you now?
O God, I have often prayed for thee to
save me from the sin of youth. Father,
I now pray to thee to save me from
the temptations of the thirties and of
the forties aud of the fifties aud of the
sixties and of the seventies, and, Lord,
from the temptations of the eighties.
Thou didst guard and keep St. John
the pure, noble Christian that he was,
clear on Into the twilight of life. Guard
and keep me from the sins of mature
manhood. Though I may be thy serv
ant to proclaim thy name lu thy pul
pit, make my faith that of a little child.
And this I ask in the name of Jesus
Christ, who was with the aged St. John
in Asia aud on Patmos, and who was
also with St. John in the banquet hall
of the last supper when he was a
young man.
God keep our children from sin. God
keep our young men from sin. God
keep us when we are middle aged, and
God keep us when old, like St. John,
our eyes are dim and our step Is heavy.
May vA be like John, the young man,
nn/1 Hke St. John, the aged patriarch.

New Idea In Envelopes.
A new style of envelope is such an
Improvement on the old that one won- |
ders why the idea did not occur to a
manufacturer sooner. The new envel
ops is like any other, except that the
flap is uot gummed. Instead the gum
Is on the envelope’s back, following the
flap’s edges in a V shaped strip.
“Yon see,” said a New York station
er, “this new idea does away with gum
eating. When you apply your tongue
to this flap you don’t lick up a lot of
gum to give you a bad taste lu your
mouth for the next half hour, hut you
■Imply lick the plain white paper edge
of the flap, then press It down as usual,
and It attaches llself to the dry gum
and Is firmly sealed.
“It’s the same Idea as that of licking
the corner of the envelope, tbns escap
Ing a gum luncheon when you want to
apply a postage stamp.”
