TALMAGE’S SERMON. Scissions for Which Women Have Been Especially Equipped. tk* Wamu at tba Stek Bed, aa the l>lsfT-• Charity, aa the Comforter la Pletraai gw Place la Hmvm, Rot. T. DeWitt Talmage, who is on a hammer trip -in the west, delivered the following discourse at Beatrice, Neh, on “Sisters of Charity,** taking tor his tex t ’ This woman was fall of rood works sad ■lirndsedi which ska did.—Aota ix„ St Starting now where I left off last Sabbath in reciting woman’s opportunities, 1 have to say that woman has the special and superlative right of .hieasing and comforting the sick. What land, what street what house, has not felt the smitings of disease? Tens of thousands of sick beds! What shall we do with them? Shall man, with his rough hand and heavy loot and impatient bearing, minister? No. He can not soothe the pain. He can not quiet the nerves. He knows not where to set the light His hand is not steady enough to pour out the drops. He is not wakeful enough to he a watcher. The Lord God sent Miss Dix into the Virginia hospitals, and the Maid of Saragosa to appease the wounds of the battle-field, hasequipped wife, mother and daughter for this delicate but tremendous mission. You have known men who have despised woman,.but the moment disease fell upon them they did not send for their friends at the bank, or their partner In business or worldly associates; their . first ery was: “Take me to my wife.” The dissipated young man at the college scoffs at the idea of being under home influences; but at the first blast of the typhoid fever on his cheek, he says: “Where is mother?” Sir Walter Scott wrote partly in compliment when he said: O woman. In our hour of ease Uncertain, coy and hard to please; When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thorn

I think the most pathetic passage in all the Bible is the description of the lad who went out tp the harvest-field of Shnnem and got sunstruck—throwing his hands on his temples and crying out: “O, my head! my head!” and they said: “Carry him to his- mother.” And then the record is: “He sat on her knees till noon and then died.” It is an awful thing to be ill away from Lome in a strange hotel, once in awhile men coming to look at you, holding their hand over their mouth for fear that they will catch the contagion. llow roughly they turn you In bed! How loudly they talk! How you long for the ministries of home; I knew onie such who went away from one of the brightest of homes for several weeks’ business absence at the west. A telegram came at midnight that he was on his deathbed, far away from home. By express train the wife and daughters went ■westward; but they went too late. He feared not to die, but he was in an agony to live until liis family got there. He tried to bribe the doctor to znake him live a little while longer. He said: “I am willing to die, but not alone.” But the pulses fluttered, the. eyes closed, and the heart stopped. The express trains met in the midnight; wife and daughters going westward—lifeless remains of husband and father coming eastward. Oh, it was a sad, pitiful, overwhelming spectacle!' When we are sick we want to be sick at home. When the time comes for us to die we want to die at home. The room may be very humble, and the faees that, look into ours may be very plain; but who cares for that? Loving hands to bathe the temples. Loving voices to speak, good che8r. Loving lips to read the comforting promises of Jesus. In our last dreadful war, men cast the cannon; men fashioned the musketry; men cried to the hosts: “Forward, march!” men hurled their battalions on the sharp edges of the enemy, crying: “Charge! Charge!” but woman scraped the lint; woman administered the cdrdials; woman watched by the dying couch; woman wrote the last message to the home circle; woman wept at the solitary burial attended by herself and four men with a spade. We greeted the general home with brass, bands and triumphal arches, and wild huzzas; but the story is too good to he written anywhere, save in the chronicles of Heaven, of Mrs. Brady, who came down among the sick in the swamps of the Chickahominy; of Annie Ross, in the cooper shop hospital; of Margaret Breckinridge, who cauje to men who had been' for weeks with their wounds undressed—some of them frozen to the ground; and when she turned them over, those that had an arm left waved, it and filled the air with their “hurrah!”—of Mrs. Hodge, who came from Chicago with blankets and with pillows, until the men shouted:

“Three cheers for the Christian commission! God bless the women at home;'’ then sitting down to take the last message: “Tell my wife not to fret /about me, but ^ to meet me / in Heaven; tell her to train up the boys whom we have loved so well; tell her we aliall meet again in the good land; tell lier to bear my loss like the Christian wife of a Christian soldier;” and of Mrs. Shelton, into whose face the convalescent soldier looked and said: “Your grapes and cologne cured me.” Men did their j work with shot and iBhell, and carbine and howitzer; worn>en did their Work with socks, and ^slippers, and bandages, and warm • drinks, and Scripture texts, and gentle astrokings of the hot temples, and .stories of that land where they never have any pain. Men knelt down over the wounded and said: “On which .side did you fight?” Women knelt •down over the wounded and said: “Where arc you hurt? What nice thing can I make for you to eat? What makes you cry?” To-night while we men are sound asleep in our beds,

*h«re will be a liijjhl; In jonder loft; there will be groaning in that dark alley; there will lie ciriw of distress in that oiillar. Men will sleep, and women will watch. Again: woman has a superlative right to take care of the poor. There are hundreds and thousands of them in all oar cities There is a kind of work that men ean not do for the poor. Here comes a gro up of little barefoot children to the door of the Dorcas society. They need to be clothed and provided for. Which of these directors of banks would know how many yards it Would take to make that little girl a dress? Which of these masculine hands conld fit a hat to that little girl’s head? Which of the wise. men would know how to tie on that new pair of shoes? Man. sometimes gives his charity in a rough way. and it falls like the fruit of a tree in the east, which fruit comes down so heavily that it breaks the skull of the man who is trying to gather it. But woman glides so softly into the house of destitution, and finds out all the sorrows of the place, and puts so quietly the donation on the table that, all the family come ont on the front steps as she departs, expecting that from under her shawl she will thrust out two wings and go right up to Heaven, from whence she seems to have come down. Oh, Christian young woman! if you would make yourself happy and win the blessings of Christ, go out among the destitute. A loaf of bread or a bundle of soeks may make a homely load to carry; but the angels of God will come out to watch, and the Lord Almighty will give his messenger hosts a charge, saying: “Look after that woman. Canopy her with your wings and shelter her from all harm;” and while you are seated in the house of destitution and suffering, the little ones around the room will whisper: “Who is she? Aiu’t she beautiful?” and if you listen right sharply you will hear drippiugdoivn the leaky roof, and rolling over the rotten stairs, the angel chant that shook Bethlehem: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.” Can you tell me why a Christian woman, going down among the haunts of iniquity on a Christian errand, never meets with any indignity? I stood in the chapel of Helen Chalmers, the daughter of the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, in the most abandoned part of the city of Edinburgh, and I said to her as I looked around upon the fearful surroundings of that place: “Do you come here nights to hold service?” “Oh, yes,” she said. “Can it be possible that you never meet with insult while performing this Christian errand?” “Never,” she said—“never.” That youug woman who has her father by, her side walking down the street, an armed policeman at each corner of the street, is not so well defended as that Christian who goes forth on gospel work into the haunts of iniquity, carrying the Bibles and bread. God, with the right arm of his wrath ornnipo

tent, would tear to pieces anyone who should offer indignity. He would I smite him with lightnings, and drown him with floods, and swallow him with earthquakes, and damn him with eternal indignations. Some one said: “1 dislike very much to see that Christian woman teaching thpse bad boys in the mission school. Fhm afraid to have her instruct them.” “So,” said another man, “I am afraid, too.” Said the first: “I am afraid they will use vile language before they leave the place.” “Ah," said the other man, “1 am not afraid of that. What I am afraid of is, that if any of those boyrs should use a bad word in that presence), the other boys would tear him to pieces and kill him on the spot.” That woman is the best sheltered who is sheltered by Omnipotence, and it is always safe to go where God tells you to go. It seems as if the Lord had ordained woman tor an especial work in the solicitation of charities. Backed up by barrels in which there is no flour, and by stoves in which there is no fire, and wardrobes in which there are no clothes, a woman is irresistible; passing on her errand, God say's to her: “You go into that l>ank, or store, and get the money.” She goes in and gets it The man is hard-fisted, but she gets it She could not help but get it Jt is decreed from eternity she should get it. No need of your turning your back and pretending you don’t hear; you do hear. There isnd need of your saying y ou are begged to death. There is no need oTyeui^wasting your time, and you might as w^U submit first as last. You had better right away take down your checkbook, mark the number of the check, fill up the blank, sign your name, and hand it to her. There is no need of wasting time. Those poor children on the back street have been hungry’ long enough. That sick man must hare some farina. That consumptive must have something* to ease his cough. I meet this delegate coming out of the store of such a hard-fisted man, and I say: “Did you get the money'?” “Of course,” she says, “I got thp money; that's what I went for. The Lord told me to go in and get it. and He never sends me on a fool’s errand.”

Again: I have to tell you that it is woman’s specific right to comfort under the stress of dire disaster. She is called the weaker vessel; but all profane as well as sacred history attests that when the crisis comes she is better prepared than man to meet the emergency. How often you have seen a woman who seemed to be a disciple of frivolity and indolence, who, under one stroke of calamity, changed to a heroine. Oh, what a great mistake those business men make who never tell their business troubles to their wivesl There comes some great loss to their store, cf some of their companions in business play them a sad trick, and they carry the burden all alone. He is asked in the household again and again: “What is the matter?” but he believes it a sort of Christian duty to keep all that trouble within his own soul. Oh, sir! your first duty vras to tell your wife all about it. She. per

haps, nslghi not have disentangled your finances, or extended your credit, bnt she would have helped you to bear misfortune. You have no right to carrry on one shoulder that which is intended for two. There x are business men who know what I mean. There comes a crisis in your affairs. Yon struggle bravely and long, but after awhile there comes a day when you say. “Here I shall have to stop,” and you call in your partners, and you call in the most prominent men in your employ, and you say: “We have to stop.” You -leave the store suddenly. You can scarcely make up your mind to pass through the street and over on bridge or on the ferryboat. You feel everybody will be looking at you and denouncing you. You hasten home. You tell your wife all about the affair. What does she say? Does ' she play the butterfly? Does she talk about the silks, and the ribbons, and the fashions? No. She comes up to the emergency. She quails not under the stroke* She helps you to begin to plan, right away. She offers to go 'out of the comfortable house into a smaller one, and wear the old cloak another winter. She is one who understands yojar affairs without blaming yon. You look upon what you thought was a thin, weak woman's adn holding you up; but while you 1 look at that arm there comes into the feeble muscles of it the strength of the eternal God. No childing. No fretting. No telling yon about the beautiful liou$e of her father, from which you brought lier ten, twenty or thirty years ago. You say; ‘'Well, this is the happiest day of my life. I am glad I I have got from under my burden. My wife don’t care—I don’t care.” At

the moment you were utterly exhausted God sent a Deborah to meet the host of Amalekites. and scatter them like chaff over the plain. There are sometimes women who sit read in? sentimental novels, and who wish that they had some grand held in which to display their Christian powers. Oh, what grand and glorious things they could do if they only had an opportunity! My sister, you need not wait for any such time. A crisis will come in your affairs. There will be a Thermopylae in your own household, where God will tell ybu to stand. Woman is further endowed to bring us into the Kingdom of Heaven. It is easier for a woman to be Christian than for a man. Why? You say she is weaker. No. Her heart is more responsive to the pleadings of Divine love. The fact that she can more easily become a Christian, I prove by the statement that threefourths of the members of the churches in Christendom are women. So God appoints *them to be the chief agencies for bringing this world back to God. The greatest sermons are not preached on celebrated platforms; they are preached with an audience of two or three and in private home life. A patient, loving. Christian demeanor in the presence of transgression, in the presence of hardness, in the presence of obduracy and crime, is an argument from the force of which no man can escape. , Lastiy, one of the specific rights of woman is, through the grace of Christ, finally to reach Heaven. Oh, what a multitude of women in Heaven! Mary, Christ’s mother, in Heaven; Elizabeth Fry in Heaven; Charlotte Elizabeth in Heaven; the mother of Augustine in Heaven; the countess of Huntingdon—who sold her splendid jewels to build chapels—in Heaven; while a great many others who have never been heard of on earth, or known but little, have gone to the rest and peace of Heaven. What a rest! What a change it was from the small room, with no fire and one window. the glass broken out, and the aching side and worn-out eyes, to the. “house of many mansions!” No more stitching until twelve o’clock at night, no more thrusting of the thumb by the employer through the work to show that it was not done quite right. Plenty of bread at last. Heaven for ..aching heads. Heaven for broken hearts. Heaven for anguish-bitten frames. No more sitting up until midnight for the coming of staggeringsteps. No more rough blowa across the temples. No more sharp, keen, bitter curses. . Some of you will have.no rest in this xorlfi. It will be toil and struggle and suffering all the way up* You will have to stand at your door fighting back the wolf with your own hand, red with carnage. But God has a crown for you. I want you to realize that He is now' making it, and whenever j’ou weep a tear He sets another gem in that crown; whenever you have a pang of body or soul, He puts another gem in that crown, until, after awhile, in all the tiara there will be no room for another splendor, and God will say to His angel: “The crown is] done; let

tier up tnat sue may wear it. And as the Lord of Righteousness puts the crown upon your brow, angel will cry to angel\“Who is she?” and Christ will say: “I will tell you who she is. She is the one that came up out of great tribulation, and had her robe washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.” And then God will spread a banquet, and He will invite all the principalities of Heaven to sit at the feast; and the tables will blush with the best clusters from the vineyards jit God, and crimson with the twelve '■manner of fruits from the tree of life, and waters from the fountain of the rock will wash from the golden tank* ards; and old harpers of Heaven will sit there, making music with their harps; and Christ will point yon out, amid the celebrities of Heaven, saying: ‘‘She suffered with me on earth, now we are are going to be glorified together.” And the banqueters, no long?' er able to hold their peace, will break forth with congratulation. “Hail! Hail!” And there will be handwriting on the wall—not such as ^struck the Persian noblemen with nrror, but with tire-tipped fingers, writing in blazing capitals of light aiif love and victory. “God has wiped Vway ail tears from all faces.”

Bbuxibvttel, Jane 9%—'The imperial yacht Hobensollern, with the emperor and bis four oldest sons on board, passed through the western Watergate of the North Sea canal at 3:45 this morning. The entrance to the new waterway was bean tifally decorated with flags, etc., and the approaches were crowded with military, students, visitors and residents of the vicinity, who cheered loudly. The emperor was on deck and

Kaieer Wilhelm II bowed in response to the ovation he received, exhibiting much emotion. The Hohenzollern at 4 o'clock cat the thread which bad been stretched across the entrance to the canal and began her passage through to Kiel, the bands on shore playing national airs and the crowds cheering. As the Hohenzollern came In sight of the Holtenau locks at *12:30 p. m. the immense crowd of people on the Holtenau festplatz set uj> a mighty cheer. Five minutes later the vessel had steamed up to the locks, which she entered at 12:35. The emperor stood high np on 'the bridge, behind the main mast, attired in the full uniform of an admiral of the German navy, suggesting the well-known picture: “With Full Steam Ahead." The bands of the regular and veteran troops struck up “Heil Der Kiegerkranz," which the kaiser acknowledged by a salute. It was a grand spectacle. On each side of the lock was drawn up a company of the first foot guards of Potsdam, with a band, and a company of the kaiser’s Flensburg regiment were lined on the north shore in front of the harbor office, with the Marine band. The admirals and generals stood upon the center rampart which divides the sections of the lock. The immense crowd kept up continuous cheering as the Hohenzollern passed through and went to her anchorage. A Work pf Peace and Civilisation. Kiel, June 20.—Dr. Hainan n, of the foreign office, received a number of representatives of the German an<J foreign press on board the steamer Prinz this morning. Ia th? course of his welcoming address he said: “I believe that in following the events upon this occasion you will see things as they are meant and interpret them ip the light of the words of the emperor in his speech last evening, when he' said that tnis great enterprise is a work of’ peace and civilization.” After the journalistic guests had been welcomed, the Prinz Waldemar steamed through the lines of war ships anchored in the harbor. The Kaiser Wilhelm Aground, Blocking the Cwnair Kiel, June 20.—Since the arrival of the Kaiser Adler, which followed the Hohenzollern, no other vessel had arrived through the canal up to 4 o’clock this afternoon. ^No information is obtainable at Holtenau, but an attache of the harbor office says that the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. is aground, blocking the way of vessels behind her. It is stated that the emperor has been informed of the mishap.

A SPANISH RETREAT. They Abandon the Town of Albacroeia to the Insurgents. Madrid, June SI.-'—The Iraparcial publishes a dispatch'from Havana stating that in the fighting which occurred at Albacrc^cia only a small detachment of Spanish troops were engaged. On the other hand 600 rebels, mounted aud on foot, poured a hot fire into the ranks of the' Spanish troops, who, being so greatly outnumbered, were ordered to make their escape from the town. Accordingly the supply of ammunition was distributed among the men, the stores, etc., which could not be nemoved, were destroyed, and the troops dashed out,'taking the rebels by surprise and succeeded in getting out of danger. CAMPOS ASSASSINATED. Shot by a Caban Spy, Who Makes His EsTampa, Fla., June 21.— Passengers by the Mascotte bring news of a report In Havana that Martinez Campos has been shot by a Cuban spy of the name of Puerta Sanchez, who afterward jumped overboard and swam to shore amid a shower of bullets from the Spanish man-of-war, upon which the shooting took place.

With only eleven more days to live ha realizes the time for action is short.

QUIT AND WENT HOME. Convent ton of BepobUonn Lww Cl*h» rin tailed Its Work m4 Ad Jon rued WttlioM Ofltotel KxpreMlou on the Free£tlv«r nnd Teriff-Keform Qa«Mtoa«-8lr nit!rant Abieoeeof AUPreeidenttol Aapir. ant a. Cleveland, O., June S2.—There w»s nothin]? exciting about the last hours of the eighth annual convention of the National League of Republican clubs. The resolutions which have been pub* lie property for some time were adopted without preface by their in* troduoera, or parley on the part of thoee for whose consideration they were introduced. No roll call was had on their adoption, and a lusty chorus of yeas against one or two lone* some nays showed that it was almost the unanimous sense of the convention that it had no power to proclaim its preference for gold or silver, for protection or free trade, or for any candidate who is pushing his claims for recognition before the official tribunal of the party, to be held in 1896, Whether this will prove a precedent for future conventions of the league remains to be seen. It is certain that it is an innovation, and that the most; conservative men in the party think it a wise one. The silver men are satisfied with the outcome, and decided before yesterday’s convention began to make no outcry. They were heard, and fully heard, in committee, and assert that the result shows a sentiment in favor of bimetallism that will spread to the national convention next year. The more radical of them hope for free silver, but all would be more than pleased with any sort of a plank which favors the white metal, whether that plank fixes their favorite ratio or not.' Once installed, they believe, the double standard would rapidly gain in favor. There was no discordant vote in the big gathering which was dissolved yesterday, a little after noon. Many sacrifices were made for the sake of harmony, and it appeared to be the wish of the body that it go on record before the world as united on all points at issue, whatever differences might exist beneath the surface. As no platform was adopted expressing an opinion on the great questions of the day, the drift of sentiment could only be gathered from the speakers. With the exception of the 16-to-l men, and these were very cautious in expressing a decided preference on the currency question, none of the presidential candidates came to the convention. Mr, McKinley arrived last night after everything was over. He whs met at the depot by the leading republican clubs of the city and enthusiastically welcomed. Most of the delegates had returned to their homes, but those who remained were introduced, shook hands and chatted awhile with the famous Ohioan, who held open house in the corridors of the Holenden hotel. Chauncey Depew was expected up to the last moment, but he excused himself on the ground of other engagements. Thomas B. Reed was invited, but declined, and Senator Allison did the same. Maine was one of the three states not officially represented at the convention, and the enemies of Mr. Reed are pointing to this fket with much glee. The other two states were New Hampshire and North Carolina. Both of these states were unofficially represented, but the state of James G. Blaiue^was not represented in any way whatever. With Gen. McAlpin as president and H. J. Dowling, of Minnesota, as secretary, the delegates feel that they have officered the league with a view to the best result in the work of the next year. No treasurer was chosen. His selection was left to the executive committee. 4NTER-STATE DRILL.
