Bears as Shirt Waist Decorations. <lathered about a laundry window in upper Broadway, New York, the other afternoon was a crowd much like the throag one secs coming from a theater after a matinee performance by a handsome young masculine “star.’’ The women were looking at lingerie gowns and waists that had Just l>een washed and hung in the win «low, but the real attraction was s shirt waist of white lawn with rows of Teddy bears embroidered down the front, says a correspondent of the New York Press. Of course every wo man who saw It determined to have one. even though the idea might bring sadness to the dressmakers ordered to carry It out. As for the children, dress es embroidered with little brown and white l>ears surely would strike the Juvenile taste and lie considered much lovelier than a frock embroidered with rosebuds.

When I John Adams was about to be Inaugu rated president of the United States the assembled multitude bad no cheers and vociferations for the new chief tain. Their thoughts were with the re tiring leader. There were sobs and aching hearts for him who was to lay down the tasks of public life after forty-five years consecrated to his country’s service. All eyes were fo cused u]»on the tall, commanding figure of him who would henceforth be knowm as “First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his country men.” When John Adams lifted his hand over the sacred book and took the oath of office George Washington slow ly turned to go into the house and ef face himself from public notice. The people followed him with moistened eyes and tear stained cheeks. A great moan went over the assembled hosts, like the munnurings of many waters. He turned in the doorway and looked back a moment and then waved a silent farewell. And all up and down the lines went the valedictory: “God bless him! God bless him! God bless him!” When Andrew Jackson handed over the reins of government to Martin \ an Burcn and started home, his jour ney to his beloved Hermitage was like a long funeral procession. The people came out from the towns and villages and cities to greet him. Every one wanted a last look at the face of their late ruler. With his white hair, tall, lithe form and stern features, he towered above the people who crowd ed around him. But wherever he looked he saw only men and women who were regretting the day that this aagacious American was no longer to lead them In the councils of peace and of war. When William E. Gladstone, after half a century in the service of his country, resigned the premiership and passed out of the house of commons for the last time, all the members arose and uncovered. Tbo# men, no matter to what political p^rty they l>elonged. knew that a political genius and one of the most sagacious states men the British empire had ever pro duced was aitout to leave the public arena and pass the Indian summer of his earthly life in retirement. His party knew that there was no one to fill bis plate, anti they lamented his going. A Rest Well Earned. After a great leader of men has been working for the good of his fel low countrymen for twenty or thirty or forty years the world may regret to lose his services, but It has to bow to the inevitable and recognize the right of the tired worker to rest. “No! No!” says the world, “though we may grieve much to see our honored lead ers fall out from their places, they have earned their rest and they have a right to peace.” So we look upon the Mount Vernons and the Hermit ages and the Ila wardens as the havens and harbors of life, where tired men can rest aud be at jieace with those who love them and whom they love. Now. th* true Cbristlu' looks upon death as a going home to receive his eternal reward. When Paul said: “I have fought a good fight. 1 have fin ished my course faith. Henceforth there Is laid np for me a crown of righteousness,” he meant simply this: “Friends, for years I have been engaged In an exhausting struggle. I am physically worn out. I am looking for the reward Christ prom ised. Let mo go and he at peace with Christ, which is far better.” So we have a right to look upon death today | not as going down Into the grave, but | as ascending to a throne. It is going home. It Is going to one of the man sions of heaven which Christ has pre pared for those that love him. I was never more Impressed with | this fact than when I sat by the bed side of the modern apostle of temper ance, Francis Murphy. He was one of the great temperance leaders of this country. We mourned his falling strength. His work seemed to be so Important. It did seem as though we could not give him up; but, as the time came for his departure, I visited him and prayed with him. Then after I had finished, with his weak voice he continued my prayer as follows: ”0 God. I thank thee that I have not an enemy In all the world. I thank thee that th:* world Is filled with good peo ple. 1.' It be thy will, let me go back to my work, but If not. 1 have so many dear ones on the other side, take me to them and to thy glory.” Yes, Francis Murphy, we know what was In your heart. Lying ujiou your sickbed, yon could see the dear departed frienda coming out to greet you. You coaid hear the heavenly chorus chanting a welcome for your celestial advent. Your death was not to be an oblitera tion. It was to be an ascension, a coronation, an enthronement. Hall, thou ascended spirit! We today re joice with thee in thy heavenly rap ture. Hall, O thou enthroned warrior! Hall! When Stone wall Jackaon, the chival rous Philip Sidney of the Confederate army, was dying, shot by the bullets of his own men at Chancellorsville. he had a Im ..ntff.il vi don of heaven. F.e saw a smooth ilowiug river, where In* could moisten his parched and fev erod lips. He saw his loved ones on the opposite bank waving to him in salutation. And in rapture he raised himself and cried out, "Let us pass over to the other side and rest under the shadows of tin* trees,” aud then fell back dead. So Francis Murphy, during his last days of earth, caught a glimpse of "the trees of life growing by that river which Is clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. He wanted to go over and rest. He said: "There are so many dear ones beyond. O God, if it lie thy will, take me to them aud to thy glory.” Yes, today thy prayer is answered. Thou art with thy de parted kindred and friends. Thou wilt stay with them until the time comes for us to depart, and then thou wilt come forth to greet us, as they came to greet thee. Now. today I am not going to preach a funeral sermon. lam not going to sound a dirge or ring a death knell. But I am going to strike up a hallelu iah chorus. If the cold lips of our loved friend could speak, I know he would have me do as I am doing. There was not a minor key in all his music. And so today. Instead of talk ing about how bad we feel at his go ing. I am going to try to analyze the power of this one of the greatest temperance workers of our time, so that we may be encouraged In our work for the same Master and tie stimulated to more vigorous effort by the example of this strenuous leader. A Noble Man. In the first place, I would place my finger upon the greatest source of Francis Murphy’s power and ^ell you that the chief reason why this success ful temperance worker won so many trophies for the abstinence cause was because he lielieved In the nobility of man. He lielieved that, no matter how flagrant the sins of the social outcast, no matter how low or vile a human being had become, deep down in that human heart were some remains of the image of God. Murphy never despair ed of any human being, however drunken or degraded he might lie. Here was a man—one of the race i’hrist came to save—and he believed that (’hrist could save him. The de grading obstacle of his thirst for liquor stood in the way and therefore Mur phy tried to remove that, so that the power and influence of Christ could reach the poor, helpless creature. It does not require very much genius to find flaws In a man’s nature. It does not require wonderful erudition to magnify the faults of mankind. Any herd of swine can root out a flow er garden, If It is possible for them to squeeze through a gap in the fence. It does not take much of a frost to kill all the fair apple blossoms in the springtime: neither, does it take much lalior to develop a field of Canada thistles in the place where wheat aud corn and barley ought to grow. But it does take the genius of a horticul turist to find latent buds and develop them. It doe- take agricultural acu men to put tin* right kind of fertilizer on the ground after the spring plow ing. And it does take the marvelous grace of God to find the latent buds of purity and truth and love and honor In the corrupt heart of man aud to de velop them aright for God. And this Is always the work of a successful evangelist of Christ. This was the se- ••ret of Murphy's success. He believed In Christ and he lielieved in men. Did not Fanny Crosby, the Christian hym- nologist. have such a worker as this In her mind when she wrote these Im pressive words: Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter. Feelings 'le buried that grace can re store: Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness. Chords that were once more. his meetings he saw in them the Mur- pbj of the gutter and said to himself. “The power that delivered me can de liver even this poor creature,” and he went to work with confidence for the man's reformation. Would to God that some iif the men whom he was instru mental in saving might take up hi£ work and that men might have reason to say, “the power of Elijah doth rest on El'.-ha.” Bui (here was another fact about his wonderful life that lias made Francis Murphy one of the greatest temper ance advocates of his time. He not only believed in man, but he was ready to thank God for all the divine bless ings with which he was surrounded. His whole life after his conversion aud consecration to the divine Master was a continual service of praise. He al ways commenced his public .services with the coronation hymn, and he al ways closed with the doxology of “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." Wherever you met him, on the street, or in the home, or In the church, or anywhere, the two words which were most often upon his Ups were: “Thank God! - Thank God! Thank God!” Sometimes, like a bashful boy, he would slip into my meetings hoping that I should not see him. He seemed to long sometimes to worship in the audience and not be called to the pul pit. He would come in quietly and stay hidden until some word of Scrip ture or of prayer touched him. Then, before he know it, a “Thank God!” would be ringing from his church pew. , ; nft i s Then every one would smile and say, "That’s Francis Murphy,” because no feel iu this service as the disciples of old must have felt when they were in the upper chamber iu Jerusalem await ing llio coming of the Holy Spirit after the ascension of Christ from Mount Olivet, 'i hey wen* not there to mourn their departed Master. They were th t* • * - i in .j'ii'ation for their work. So it should ho with us when any suc- ■ fi I worker drops out of the ranks. . • 1. > oi is finished, but the work is ; completed. Who will take it up ! carry it forward? May we con.se- ■ e our iiv<*s to the great temperance '"ork as never before. May we saj’, “God helping me, 1 will live tor the purpose of saving men clear down in the mire of sin, as I have never done before.” Do you say that? Then, my friends, 1 think the spirit of Francis Murphy is descending upon us. [Copyright. 1907, by Louis Klopsch.] broken will vibrate And parallel to this same line of thought was another fact which In- l”have kept The i s,,|r ‘ Ml KrHI|, iK Mur P h J to seek the most depraved of men. He knew that the victim of the Intoxicating cup was lu many cases a man worth saving. The very characteristics of the man that had led to his degradation—his geniality, his good fellowship, his friendliness- were the characteristics that would make him a successful worker If he was delivered from his thraldom. The intensity and zeal that made Haul a persecutor were traits which made him a successful apostle when he win converted. And Francis Murphy had arrived at this belief by looking at the history of his own life. Have you ever heard him describe the tragedy of his wrecked home? When the civil war broke out. he. like other Irishmen, was eager to take part In it. 1 At the bugle call to arms he shoul- j dered the musket and went to the l front. He was not struck by the en ! emy’s bullets, but, like Alexander the | Groat, he was overthrown by the temp- ! tatlons of the camp. Murphy's Temptation. Then after the war was ended in or der to make a living for bis little fam ily he took, charge of a hotel In Maine. In other words, the devil knew the man’s weakness and led him Into the occupation that would develop It. He put a whisky lK>t|le Into bis hand and said to him- "Drink until your man hood Is gone. Drink until you come home to your wife and babies with the fierce passion of a brute. Drink until the vilest sot In the gutter is no viler than you.” Aud with that strong per sonality of his. he never did anything halfway. He drank until he went down, down, down Into the lowest depths of degradation. When the change came and Murphy “came to himself” like the prodigal, he could not forget th'* pit from which he had been lifted. As h'* ! Hiked on the sodden, de praved v.Te'* he.; ,vho were brought to one could ever say “Thank God” just as Francis Murphy did. During all his last sickness, in his delirium, he would keep rubbing his hands and with a sweet smile keep murmuring. "Thank God!” Why, do yon know, I have heard him say “Thank God” so much that I believe he has got me into the same glorious habit of thanking God for everything. And whereas 1 use 1 to count my troubles and name thera one by one. now. under the influence of that sainted spirit, I have begun to count nij’ blessing*. And as my bless ings are crowding me iu multitudinous numbers, I am saying. “Thank God.” The Secret of His Strength. But. leaving aside these personal in cidents, we would take a step forward and analyze the direct cause of his work as a teraijerance reformer. How did Francis Murphy win thousands and tens of thousands to the better life? Through continually, emphatical- ly and overwhelmingly driving home to the sinful heart man’s direct respon sibility to God. He was saying: “Christ came to save you. Christ will save you. Christ will save you now. By his help will you come forward and sign the pledge and make a covenant with Christ?” He did not bother much about prohibitive laws. He did not work much through legislative halls. But he tried to bring the sinful heart of 111411 in close touch with a lov ing and a Forgiving Saviour. Now, we have been hearing a great deal about the temperance work of this day. We have heard about the prohibition movi *aent and the anti saloon movement and the women’s tem perance organizations, and they are all good. No one wished all these differ cut movements godspeed more th: n did Francis Murphy. But. though Francis Murphy was In sympathy with any movement that would help stop the liquor evil, he put the chief em phasis of his labors upon bringing the Individual man In touch with Christ and saving man as an Individual and not in the bulk. And Francis Murphy was right. This world will never l»e saved from the curse of Intoxicating drink through the legislative halls of our state and national capitals. If it Is to be saved at all, It must be saved by the saving power of Christ and the Influence of the pledge. Do you sup pose you could make this a Christian nation merely by passing strict Sab batic laws or by building new churches on every street corner? No. Tem perance laws are right in themselves. But. after all. the mightiest work of the temperance reformers of the future Is to do what John B. Gough did and Jerry McAuley di^and Samuel Had ley did and Francis Murphy did, and that is to bring sinful man by the old fashioned pledge In touch with the saving grace of eur Lord Jesus Christ. He Set Them to Work. But there is one more thought that forces itself upon us. Francis Murphy became the successful tenii>erance re former he was because no sooner did he win a convert and get a man to sign the pledge than at once he got that man on his feet and brought him to the platform and made him go to work and save other drunkards. No sooner did Francis Murphy got a Gospel grip upon n man than at once be pulled him upon bis feet and made him go to work for temperance. My brother, can we not today learn that divine lesson? Can we not learn that we are develop ed spiritually not more by what Christ does for us than by what we are will ing to do for Christ? How many of those whom Francis Murphy brought to Christ must have been on the other side to greet him! Perhaps that welcome Is best pictured in a dream which his daughter had the night when be was about to pass away. She dreamed she was looking up Into the heavens. It was a beauti ful, clear night and the twinkling stars seemed to be everywhere. Every star seemed to her to represent the shining face of some immortal whom her fa ther had won to Christ. Oh. there were thousands and tens of thousands of these smiling faces! And right In the center of all she saw her father’s face It was lighted up with the sweetest of smiles. And there he was. surrounded by a constellation of shining faces, each one a star in hlsvrown. Have we met her.* ‘dn’plv to mr *i few pleasant words • bo**t our dcoarte ’ loved one? Nay.

This plainsman was a huge, brawny, husky young fellow, with a grip like Iron.

Now, the president has a special way of giving the greeting without subject ing himself to any suffering in conse quence. But on this occasion he forgot to arrange his fingers properly, and the young ranchman got a good, tight grip and wouldn't let go until his victim squealed f <r mercy. Then he jumped into the crowd and enjoyed his Joke among the people for awhile. Mr. Roosevelt remembered the trick, and some minutes later, as this fellow got close to him again, the president leaned over and remarked: “Let’s shake ; g.:!n on that!” Nothing loath, the man complied. In stantly the president got the other’s hand into his own two hands, pulled him up onto the platform and made him go through the familiar trick of falling on his knees and begging to b° let up.
