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.

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

drink, the lions of innumerable dishon
esties. “Oh.” you said, “what Is the

When you came home at night and she

When you saw her gather the children

cared for them and looked after and

God’s ambassadors. And so our Chris

The ways of tin* crank with an in

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

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.

Dr. King’s New Life Pills
The best In tho worM.
are.
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! When you turn to the ninth

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? In other words,
