The text Is Psalm l.xviii, 11 (K. V.*. ‘•Tin- Lord giveth the word -the women that publish the tidings are u great host.” We an* apt to associate tin* idea of publishing gospel tidings exclusively with the pulpit. That Is the place from which the tidings are usually and chiefly published. Putt it is not tin* only place. There are other ways of publishing the tidings than by preaching, and one of these is indicat ed by the psalmist in my text. Who ran ever estimate how much good wo men have done in that way? The v odd will never know how much tin* publication of the gospel tidings by the mothers and wives of men has had to do with the usefulness of their sons and husbands. 1 |>ily that man who, having been in j daily companionship for years with a ! mother, a sister, a wife and a datigh- I ter. lias not grace enough in his heart dollar of expenditure.’* The result was, though you had three or four children to support, you were able to accumulate a little capital, and grad ually and yet surely you pressed abend until now you own your home, and you have been able to put aside some money for n rainy day. What hus band today Is not willing to thank God for the tlnanelnl re-enforcement his wife tins been to him by her domestic economies? The Wife's Faith. And, then, lias site not lieen a moral and spiritual re-enforcement as well ns a liunnclal helper? When you left home i:i tin* morning you felt that, like Daniel of old, you were entering the lions’ den. Everywhere around you were lions of temptation, ready to eat you uii. There were the lion of false hood, the lion of theft, the lion of drink, the lions of innumerable dishon esties. “Oh.” you said, “what Is the good of my trying to live right when so many of my business associates are •laughter! Don’t! I^t the baby off this time, fdte did not mean to do it.” But, though Grandmother Lois grows gentler nil the time, yet her Influence over her grandchildren Increases ev ery year, for while she sits In her big armchair she is praying for the wel fare of the children. Have you not had such a praying grandmother? Can you not see her sweet face now and her moving lips? Can you not feel her spiritual Influence about you, even though she has lieen dead for many years? Can you not cry out, ns did the psalmist of old, “The Lord giveth the word, hut the Christian grand mothers that publish the tidings are a great host?” Friends of tho Pastor. But there is another proper name In the epitaph upon the old New England tombstone you must not pass over. This Christian wife and mother was not only a Sarah to her husband, a Eunice to her children, a Lois to her grandchildren, but she was a Lydia to would you not like to exjiend your life in t 'oristian service for others, as your mother did, rather than live a selfish, worldly life? Happiness Is not found In the frivolous life and the trifles of the social world, where so many think It is found. Would you not thank God If some day the.epitaph found ia the old New England graveyard could l»e written upon, your tombstone and that with the psalmist of old it might be said of you, ••She hath joined the women that publish God’s tidings, who are a great host?” God grant it for his dear sake.

When you came home at night and she came to greet you at the door, as you looked into her honest blue eyes you knew that no Impure or dishonest thought had passed through her mind. When you saw her gather the children about her for prayers and then kneel to commend her own soul and the souls of her husband and dear ones to the Heavenly Father somehow all your evil thoughts disappeared. Through the touch of her hand you went hack a true man to your work. Tell me You may And nil alwait her in the six teenth chapter of Acts. When Paul nnd Silas went to Philippi this woman, who was a disciple of Jesus Christ, met them. Lydia took them to her home, cared for them and looked after and respected them because they were God’s ambassadors. And so our Chris tian mothers and grandmothers not only looked after us, but were always the friends <»f our pastors. They used to say to us, “My child, you cannot respect Cod's house unless you respect honestly, would you lie the ( hristiau ^ messengers.” Don’t you remember man you are today if your wlfes faith • j low during all the church troubles of had uot lieen as a sheet anchor holding V0Ul . ehildliood nnd young manhood, you to the cross? Am I wrong when I say that God giveth the word, hut the Christian wives who surround us and publish the tidings are a great host? your Christian mothers were always the friends of God’s ministers?

But the second proper name of this they were always entertained old New England epitaph is even more suggestive than the tirst: “A Sarah to Her husband, a Eunice to her chil dren." Who was Eunice? She was the mother of young Timothy, the fa vorite eo-worker and protege of the at your mother’s home? Don’t you rememlier hoy reprovingly your moth er spoke at ^he dinner table when your older brother one Sunday made fun of the morning sermon?

He be- j gins bis second epistle to Timothy with this salutation: “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that Is lu thee, which first dwelt In thy grandmother Lois and thy mother Eunice.” Ah, yes. it was not difficult for Paul to trust and to love Timothy when he knew in what kind of a Christian era lie Timothy had lieen rocked. Neither is it a very difficult matter for some < f us to bo good when j always been a stanch friend of your pastors. In tills day, when ministers are too often estimated from the commercial standpoint, it is a blessed sight to find our Lydias. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ loses spiritual power when she looks upon God’s ambassa dors simply from a mercenary stand point. as when a man buys a house or a piece of land. Thank God for the Philippian woman who extended the hospitality of her home to tired Paul. Merely Overlooked. The ways of tin* crank with an in vention are unaccountable. Here is a recent actual example. A brisk, eager individual called on a capitalist for the purpose of interesting him in a de vice for discouraging bu’glars. “I want to g.-t the idea patented,” he said, “and I haven’t any money. Pm willing to go halves with any man that will give me the financial backing. “My scheme is tills. You first make your doors and windows secure, so that they can’t be opened at all from the outside. There are plenty of devices for doing that nowadays. Make all of them tight and fast, except one. Leave that one so that it will open easily. Then run a wire from that window to the head of your bed, where you have au alarm boll. The burglar comes along, tries the doors and windows, and when he comes to that one he raises it. The alarm goes off, and the burglar hears it and flees, or it wakes you up, and you are ready for him. In either case it accomplishes your pur pose.” “But,” said the capitalist, “if you can make all the doors and windows fast except one, why uot make that one secure, too, and thus keep the bur glar out entirely?" -I never thought of that?” replied tho inventor, rubbing Ids jaw. He didn’t get the money. ^ If. after using twr -thirds of a fr.oo bottle of Kodcl, you ran honestly say it has not bene fited you, we will refund your money. Try K"dol today on this guarantee.

Some time ago there came into my possession a suggestive epitaph, which was chiseled upon a New England tombstone. Let me read it to you. Some one who knew her well had thus sketched the life work of a good wom an as God had given it to her to do, step by step: “A Sarah to her hus band, a Eunice to her children, a I»is to her grandchildren, a Lydia to God’s ministers, a Martini to her guests, a Dorcas to the poor and an Anna to her God.” Was net that a beautiful testi mony to duty well done? Did not that epltapii hi a Scriptural combina tion round out a woman’s perfect life? Most of us have bt*en surrounded by our Sarahs and our Eunices and our Loises and our Lydias and our Mar thas and our Dorcases. Have they not lieen to us true evangelists, leading us along the paths of truth and purity and by tin* power of the holy spirit purifying and ennobling our spiritual lives? Can you not thank God for your Chi’istian wives and mothers and grandmothers your Lydias, Marthas, Dorcases and Annas? Have not the women whom you have seen publish ing God’s tffiing been a great host? Giving Thanks For Good Wives. First, let us thank God for the Sa rahs—tin* Christian wives who are now by our ♦‘ides. How many men have reason t> thank God for the women "ho, as young girls, gave them their hands and hearts in niarriage when they too were young and had nothing and who with them have fought the battle of life? We ought to thank find for the wives who in more senses than one have merged their lives In our lives and yet are never so happy as when the world praises us for the work which they to a great extent en abled us to achieve. J once knew a man who declared In the presence of a party of friends that his wife had nothing to do with his success. He boastfully said, “I have made my suc- 4ess entirely ludc[M*udent of my wife.” But I do not believe there is one man among us all who can honestly make a statement like that. We know, deep down in our hearts, that what we achieve in life is due to a great extent to the wives who have labored faithfully by our side. Happy Is the poor man who lias a good wife. Mlie may be the foundation of his suc- eosK. The good wife does not liecome a heavy drug upon her husband by ac cumulating a lot of unnecessary debts. If I’were to ask for fill* testimony of some of you today you would say: “In those days of straltness and struggle our wives stepped to our side and said. ‘We will la* breadw'lnnera with you.’ They went to the kitchen nnd bent over the stove as cooks. They made the children's dresses. They made their own gowns last se long that It seemed as though the clothes father nnd mother gaye would never wear out. Theyjj4pKlnntly guarded every ures an old daguerreotype which, thougli faded, stiil showed what a pretty and fun loving girl your mother must have been. But one day the an gel of the Nativity whispered in her ear a solemn secret. Then a serious look came to her eye. Then, when she 1 her hot, flushed face and her anxious look. We hear her mutter, “Oh, what shall I do with so many guests coming to dinner and nothing yet prepared?” Because Christ rebuked her for lack ing “one tiling" we are apt to forget how desirous she* was to put all her was tempted to any inconsistency, the friends at ease and make her home a first question that always sprang to her lips was: “Should I do that? What will lie the example for my children?” Ah, yes, I can understand why in the last chapter of Proverbs Lemuel’s mother describes tin* good wife in the words, “Many daughters have done virtuously, hut thou excellest them all.” The purity and nobility of a woman’s life are never so gloriously developed as when she. a mother, walks daily as a spiritual example before her children. God bless the Eunices! God bless them for the haven of rest for Jesus and his friends. And yet as Martha bustles around does she uot remind you of your Chris tian mother working In the old home? Can you not see her striving to put the friends of your father and the friends of her children at their ease and to make the home a haven of rest for all the associates of her dear ones? And then your mother was a Dorcas to the poor. Ah, yes, you did not real ize how much she was doing for the poor and the helpless until after she died!

Tha Mother's Busy Life. When a young mother has a large brood of little ones growing up In the home, her life is one of ceaseless activ ity. She works from morning until far into the night. How tired her fingers get with the needle! How tired her head! There are endless duties all calling at the same time: “Come and look after me. Come and look after me." Mother does not rock the young er babies lu her lap as much as she did her first born; she has not the time. She does uot take the little Jour neys to the seashore, ns some mothers do, because she bus so many duties at home. Sometimes her nerves get askew, and she becomes irritable. It is differ ent with Grandmother Lois. How gen tle she is! She never seems to be so happy as when one of the babies is about to climb Into her lap. When her daughter is aliout to punish one of the children, grandma's eyes always fill up with tears, and she says: M Don’t, whose children she had so often cloth ed. And there was that poor con sumptive girl, grateful for the delica cies ysur mother gave her, who came from her sickbed to look at the face of her dear benefactor once more. Your father sometimes used to get an gry because your mother did so much for the poor. He would say: “Mother, It doesn’t pay. Stay home and let up on that extra work.” But at your mother’s funeral your father knew It did pay. For the first time he and the children began to catch a glimpse of how much your mother bad done for others. Thank God that your mother was a Dorcas. Thank God that the women who publish the tid ings of great joy among the poor and the helpless nnd the suffering are a great host. Would you uot like to lie a Sarah to your husband, a Eunice to your chil dren, a Lois to your grandchildren, a Lydia to God’s ministers, u Martha to your guests, a Dorcas to the poor and an Anna to your God?
