The cruel army of the Philistines must

to do that thing. Jonathan is tho hero

with enthusiasm as ther went ui.
iThcro was a bharp rock on the one side,

My friends, you have been, or are now,
come of you, in this crisis of tho test.
If a man meets one trouble, ho can go
through with it. Ho gathers all his en
ergies, concentrates them upon one point,
and in the strength of God, or by his own
natural determination, goes through it.
Put the man who has troublo to the right
of lnm and trouble to the eft of him is
to bo pitied. Did cither troublo come
alone, ho might endure it, but two
troubles, two disasters, two overshadow
ing misfortunes, are Bozez and Seneh.
God pity him! "There is a sharp rock
on tho one side, and a sharp rock on the
. other side."
In this crisis of the text is that man
whose fortuno and health fail him at the
paino time. 2ttne-tenth of all our mer
chants capsizo in business before they
come to forty-five years of age. There
Is some "collision In commercial circles,
and they stop payment. It seems as if
every man must put his name on tho
, back of a note before ho learns what a
r fool a man is who risks all his own prop
erty on the prospect tliat some man will
tell the truth. It seems as if a man must
have a large amount of unsalable goodu
-pa liis own shelf before he learns how
much easier it is to buy than to sell. It
seems as if every man must be completely
burned out before ho learns tljp import
nnce pf always keeping fully insured.
It seems as if every man must be wrecked
in a financial tempest beforo he
learns to keep thiug3 snug in case of a
sudden euroclydon. "When the calamity
docs come, it is awful. Tho man goes
homo in despair, and ho tells his family:
i V'e'il have to gq to tho poorhouse."
lie takes a dolorous view of everything.
Jt seems as if he never could rise. But
a littlo timo passes, and he says: "Why,
J am not so Uully oil after all; I have
my family left."
Before, tho Lord turned Adam out of
Taradise he gave him Eve, so that when
lie lost Paradise he could stand it. Per
mit one who lias never read but a few
novels in all liis life, and who has not a
ieat d?al of romance in his composition,
o say, that' if, when a man's fortunes
fail, ho ha3 a good wife-r-a good Chris
tian wife he ought not to be despondent.
'Oli," you say, 'that only increases the
embarrassment, sinco you have her also
to take care of." You are an ingrate,
for tho woman as often supports the man
as the man supports the woman. The
man may bring all the dollars, but the
woman generally brings the courage and
the faith in God.
Well, this man of whom I am speak
ing looks around, and ho finds his family
is left, and ho rallies, and the light comes
to ius eyes, and the smile to his face, and
fche courage" to liis heart. ' In two years
he is quite over it. 'Ho makes his finan
cial calamity tho first chapter in a new
era. of prosperity. Ho met that one
trouble coilquered it. Ho sat down for
a little while under tho grim shadow of
' the rock Bozez, yet he soon rose, and be
gan, like Jonathan, to climb. But how
.often it is that physical ailment comes
" with financial embarrassment. ' "When
j.he fortune .failed it broke tho man's
fepirit. ' liis nerves were sliattered. His
brain Was stunned.- I can show you
hundreds of men in New York whose
fortune and health failed at the same
fuiae. They came prematurely to the
" Etail. Their hand trembled with
incipient paralysis. They never saw
a well day since tho hour when
they called their creditors to
gether for a compromise. If such men
aro impatient, and peculiar, and irrita
ble, excuse them. They had two troubles,
either one of wliich they could have met
successfully. If, when 'the health went,
flie fortune had been retained, it would
pot liave been so bad. The man could
have bought the very best medical advice
imd he could have Jiad the very best at
tendance, and long lines of carriages
would have stopped at the front door to
inquire as to hi welfare. But poverty
on the one side and eickness on the ether
' are Bozez and Seneh, and they interlock
their eliadows and drop them upon the
poor man's way. God help hira 1 There
is a sharp rock on the one side, and a
virp rock on the, other side."
wliat Is uch a jnan to do? L.
the name of Almighty God,' I will tell
him what to do. Do as Jonatlian did
climb; climb up into the sunlight of
God's favor and consolation. I can go
through tho churches and 6how you men
who lost fortune and health at the same
time, and yet who wng all day and
dream of heaven all night. If you have
any idea that sound digestion, and 6teady
nerves, and clear eyesight, and good
hearing, and plenty of friends are neces
sary to make a man happy, you have
miscalculated. I suppose that these over
hanging rocks only made Jonathan
scramble tho harder and the faster to get
up and out into the sunlight; and this
combined shadow of invalidism and
financial embarrassment has often sent a
man up the quicker into the sunlight of
God's favor and the noonday of Ids
glorious promises. It Is a difficult
thing for a man to feel his dependence
upon God when ho has $10,000 in tho
bank, and $0,00G in government securi
ties, and a blek of stores and three
shis. ""Well," tho man says to him
self, "it is hilly for mo to pray, 'Give mo
this day my daily bread,' when my gan
try is full, and the canals from the west
are crowded with breadstulTs destined
for my storehouses." Oh, my friends, if
the combined misfortunes ?.nd disasters
of life have mad you ciimb up into Ihe
arms of a syinpatheUo and compassionate
God,' through ' all eternity yoi will IJc&A
him that in this V'AfM '-lhr v.as a
sharp -ock on the ono bide, and a ihnrp
rock on tho oth;r bide."
Again, tLafc r..Vn is hi tho crisis of the
text who has homo troubles and outsido
Iersecution at tho same time. Tha y aid
treats a man well ius$ iong as b tdya
bej$ t,G iiet him welL As long as it can
manufacture success out of his lwne, and
brain, and muscle, it favors him. Tho
world fattens the horse it wants to drivr.
But let a man see it his diiy o, cross tho
track of the v-'rV ttieu 'every' bush is
full of lion is and tusks thrust athim.
They will belittle him. They will cari
cature him. They will call his Keneros
ity self aggrandizement, and hi piety
sanctimoniousness. The very worst per
secution will some time come upon him
from those who profess to be Christians.
John Milton great and good John
Milton so forgot himself as to pray, in
Ko many words, that his enemteg mig!;t
4 f 1 j1 .1 - 1 J. 'l ' . T . '
oc ciernany inrowij uovvn 41110 tuu uam
est and JteiKJsp gulf of hell, and bo tho
undermost and most dejected and the
lowest down vassals of perdition! And
Martin Luther so far forgot himself as to
say, in regard to his theological oppon
ents: "Put them in whatever sauco 3 0U
please, roasted, or fried, or baked, or
stewed, or boiled, or hashed, they aro
nothing but asses!" Ah, uiy fiiehdsj f
John Milton or' Martin Luther could
come down to such scurrility, what
may you not expect from less
elevated opponents? Now, tho world
sometimes takes after them; tlw
newspapers take after them; public
opinion takes after them; and the unfor
tunate man is lied about until all tho
dictionary of Billingsgate is exhausted
on him. Yiu often see a man whom
you know "to be good, and pure, and
honest, set upon by the world, and
mauled by whole communities, while
vicious men take on a supercilious air in
condemnation of him; as though Lord
Jeffreys should write an essay on gentle
ness, or Ileiiry VIII talk about purity,
or Ilerod take to blessing little children.
Now, a certain amount of persecution
rouses a man's defiance, stits his blood
for magnificent battle, and ' makes him
fifty times more a man tlian he would
have been without the persecution. So
it was with tho great reformer when ho
said: "I will not be put down; wili be
heard." And so it was with Millard,
the preacher, in " the time of Louis XI.
When Louis XI sent word to him that
unless ho stopped preaching in that stylo
he would throw him into tho river, ho
replied: "Tell tho king that I will reach
heaven sooner by water tlian 'lie 'will
reach it by fast horses." A certain
amount of jtersecutiou is a tonic and
spiration, but too much of it, and o,o
long continued, beccn'jes the VPOk.
Bozez, thi-owing a dark shadow over
a man's life. What is he to do
then? Go home, you say. Good advice,
that. That is just tho place for a man to
go when the world abuses him. Go
home. Blessed be God for our quiet and
sympathetic homes. But thci is many
a man who has th reputation of ' haying
a home when he has none. Through un
thinkingness or precipitation therg are
many matches mado that ought never to
have" been made. An officiating priest
cannot alono unite a couple. Tho Lord
Almighty must proclaim banns. There
is many a home in which thero is no
sympathy and no happiness and no good
cheer. The clamor of the battle may no
have been heard outside, but pod knows,"
notwithstanding all the. playing of the
"Wedding March"' and all the odor of
the orange blossoms anoj thq benediction
of the officiating pastor, there has hecn
no marriage.
Sometimes men liave awakened tQuul
on one side of them the r.oek pf- persecu
tion, and on the pther' side the rock tif
domestio infelicity. What fchaU Rich, an
one do? Do as Jonathan did climb.
Get up the heights of God's consolation,
from which we nay look down in tri
umph upon outside persecution and home
trouble. While good and great John
Wesley was being silenced by the magis
trates, and having his name written on
the board fences of London in doggerel,
at that very time his wife was making
him as miserable as sho could acting as
though Ehc were possessed of the
devil, as I suppose she was; never
doing him a kindness u.ntil the
day she ran away, 60 that he wrote
in his diary these worda: 'I did not for
sake her; I have not dismissed her; I
will not recall her." Planting one foot,
John Wesley did, upon outside persecu
tion, and the other foot on home trouble,
he climbed up into the heights of
Christian joy, and after preaching forty
thousand sermons, "and traveling two
hundred and seventy thousand miles,
reached tho heights of lieaven, though, hi
this world he had, it hard enough ?a
sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp
rock on the other."
Again, that woman stands in the crisis
of the text who has bereavement and a
struggle for a livelihood at the same time.
Without mentioning names, I speak from
observation. Ah, it is. a hard thing for a
woman to make an honest living, even
when her heart is not troubled, and she
has a fair cheek and the magnetism of
an exquisite presence. But now he hus
band, or the father, is dead. Tho ex
penses of tlie obsequies have absorbed all
that was left in the savings bank; and
wan and wasted with weeping and
watching, 6he goes forth a grave, a
hearse, a cofiin, behind her to
contend for her existence and
tho existence of her children. When
I seo such a battle as that ojxn I shut my
eyes at the ghantliness of tho spectacle.
Men sit with embroidered slippers and
write heartless essays about women's
wages; but that question is made up of
tears and blood, and there is more blood
than tears. Oh, give women free access
to all tho realms where she can get a live
lihood, from the telegraph office to the
pulpit. Let men's wages be cut down
lefore hers aro cut down. Men have
iron in their souls and can stand it.
Make tho way free to her of tho broken
heart. May God put into my hand tho
cold, bitter cup of privation, and givo me
nothing but a windowless hut for shelter
for many years, rather than that after
I am dead there should go out from my
homo into the pitiless world a woman's
arm to fight the Gettysburg, the AUbtcr
litz, tho Waterloo of life, fv bread.
And yet Iiqw yumv women thero aro
sealed between the rock of liereavement
on tho ono side, and tho rock, t-f destitu
tion on tho other, Biaea and Seneh i",
terlocking their shadow and 7",pin
them uin her miserable 7 ' T hero
is a sharn rook t- ...... J. ,
mo ono sum. nn, i
TI 011 tho other Rido." What
aro
such to do? Sujiiehow. let them
climb up into, the heights of tho glorious
pro:r-au: ".Leave thy fatherless childreu;
I will preservo them alive, and tf thy
widows trust in me." Or getvp into, the
heights of that other &lirious promise:
"The Lord prfovc-veth the stranger and
relieve tho' widow and the fatherless."
Oi yo sewing woman on starving wages.
O! yo widows turn.od out from tho
onco beautiful home. Ol ye female
teachers,, kp on niggardly stipend. O!
yi despairing woman, seeking in vain for
Work, wandering along the docks, and
thinking to throw yourself into the river
last night. O! ye women of weak nerves
and aching sides, and short breath and
broken heart, you need something more
than human sympathy; you need tho
sympathy of God. Climb, up into his
arms. Ho knows it all, and ho loves you
more than father, or mother, or husband
ever could or ever did; and instead of sit
ting down, wringing 3'our hands in des
pair, you had l?tter begin to climb.
There aro heights of consolation for you,
though now "there is a sharp rock on
tho ono side, and a sharp rock on tho
other side."
,Again, that man Is in tho crisis of tho
text who has a wasted lifo on the ono
side and an unilluniined eternity on the
other. Though a man may all his life
have cultured deliberation and self poise,
if ho gets into that position all his self
possession is gone. There are all tho
wrong thoughts of his existence all the
wrong deeds, aH h,o, u jong words
stratr. a.bjb strata, granitic, ponderous,
overshadowing. That rock I call Bozez.
On tho other side are all the retributions
of tho future, tho thrones of judgment,
the eternal agest angry with his long de
fiance. Thai; rock I call Seneh. Between
these two rocks Lord Byron perished, and
Alcibiades perished, and Ilerod perished,
and ten thousand times ten thousand
have ierished. O! man immevtii, man
redeemed, man bcfid-lough't,' climb up
ut of thosq shadows. Climb up by tho
way of tho cross. Have 3-our wasted
lifo forgiven; have your eternal fife se
cured. This morning just take p;e ooi?
to the past and sec. whaj t has been, and
take pyift 'oak io the future and see what
it threatens to be. You can afford to
lose your health, you can afford to lose
your property, you can afford, fa ioo
your reputation; but yp cannot afford
to lose joxi? soul. That bright, gleam
ing, glorious, precious", eternal jiossession
you must carry aloft in the day when,
tho earth burns up ant the heavens
burst.
Yutt; see, from, my subject that when ft
man goes. in,to the safety and peace of
the Gospel, he does not demean himself.
There is nothing in religion that leads
to meanness or unmanliness. Tho Gos
pel of Jesus Christ only asks you to
climb as Jonathan did climb toward
Gcd, climb toward heaven, climb into
tho snnshiue of podW favor. To become
a Christian is not to go meanly down ;
it is to come gloriously up n into tho
communion, of saint3, up into the peace
that passeth all understanding, up into
tho companionship of angels. He lives
up; he dies up.
O ! then, accept the wholesalo invita
tion which I make this morning $0 all Iho
people. Comet 'p t-roni between yot:r
invalidism arid financial embarrassments.
Coiiie up from' between your berea.ye
nients and your destitution,, pome up
from between a Wusied life and an unil-luniinc-d'
eternity. ' Like Jonatlian, climb
with all your might, instead o? tatimg
down to wring your hands in the shadow
and in, t, W aykriess '.'a, sharp rock: cm

The Mystery AVas SolTed.
Back in 18S2 they had an epidemic of
typhoid at Auxerre. No ono pculJj ieti
why. The disease appeared suddenly.
There was no evidence of contagion.
How about the water? Formerly tho in
habitants used river water from the
Yonne. But the town would modernize
itself. A new quarter was built, and all
the well tq do folk combined to insure a
supply of "pure water" by the aqueduct
of Valand. The poorer people, as of old,
went to the rivefi Now, the typhoid at
tacked only those who drunk the "pure
water." Dr. de Carrieres, a specialist
and expert, was chosen to make a study
of the case, and, if possible, to determine
the cause of the epidemic.
The doctor proceeded to examine the,
Valand, waters at its source." Arrived
there he found 'a farm house close at
hand, arid,'of course, he found that necesr
sary and more or less charming ornament
of a farmyard, a manure heap. Inquir
ing at the house he learned they had a
patient who had lately come from Paris
ill with typhoid. The plot thickens! The
doctor suspected the big manure heap.
He would try. So he took a quantity of
rosalinine, a powerful red coloring mat-:
ter, and distributed, ireely oyer the
mass. Next morning when the surviv
ing ''best people" of Auxerre turned on
the taps, what was their surprise to jbvl
the 'beautiful Valand, water as red as
blood I The mystery was solved.

very largo proportion of tho waifs picked up
011 tho streets or discovered in out of tho
way places aro tho children of women who
abandon them solely for tho purpose of mak
ing money by nurturing other ieople3 ba
bies. V.'nAT TH2 OFFICIALS SAY.
"There is no question but that women neg
lect their youn V-i'"-; f"r :.!: .1 1
wages they ctm ca.ru in nursing tho children
of others," said tho superintendent of tho in
fants' asylum oil Ibaudall's Island, where
over 1,000 foundlings aro cared for at tho
city's excuse in the course of a year. "It
has been found by investigation that tho
majority of abandonments aro made
from sordid motives. Of course there r.ro
cases where mothers are obliged to abandon
their babes through poverty or fear tho
shamo of their maternity should become
known. But a largo proportion of tho in
mates of tho institution aro dependent on the
city's charity because of their mother's greed
for money. At ono time in tho hospital's
history wet nui-ses were hired, but tho em
ployment agencies in tho city, whero the
number of maternities is so hi-h per week,
gave tho management much troublo by send
ing scouts hero to tho island to entico them
away. We cannot afford to pay the prices
private families will give."
At tho headquarters of tho department of
charities and correction Mr, Blake, who lias
held tho position of superintendent of out
door poor, and is ono of tho best posted men
in tho city on the subject, said:
"Many of tho children two or more months
old have been abandoned tw ico leforo they
are brought here to bo cared for by tho c-ity.
A woman with a child only a few days, old
finds some ono with whom she. can board it.
Sometimes a months board is paid in ad
vance, which bisni-ea good care for it. Uuttho
poor- women who expect to add $3 or f 4 to
their meager monthly income seldom seth
mother of tho child after tho (h'st month.
Finally, after waiting a while, tho nurses
abandon them."
Thcro aio certain institutions in Xew York
whero a premium is practically put ou this
heartless abandonment of babies V'-J merce
nary mothers. Certain restrit-ilons nro im
posed as to tho admission, or patients in the
maternity wards, but there ere, noiwitle
standing tuis, loopholes by which such women
iii-e permitted to leave their yoirg to the
tender mercies of these institutions. Tho cus
tom, or practice, is wiakea at, because the
city pays a bounty, as it M ere, for tho in
fants th.ys, adopted, for the funds received
dwpend upon tho number of children cared
for. In somo cases mothers ' are- bound to as

'I know from iersonal experience and ob

wet uui'ses cmploj'ed in New YOrk havo been

abandonment vf their own flesh and blood,"
w3. th statement made by a well known
physician of this city in discussing the sub
ject. "I have been astounded and shocked.
by the growing tendeucy on tha part o
American women to leave tho care of their
infants to others umofc from the timet ot

among the wealthy classes, and especially so
iu case's where inothevs are what aro termed

lppst favored classes, so far as worldj.y'pos.
cessions aro concerned, seem to, regard it as a
disgrace to have more than two children. It

Ward McAllister is pleased to term the select
400. This cartoon gave a prophetic scene, as
it were, of what l'ifth avenuo would present
ia a year or two now that Mrae. Restell's
Eerviccs wero no longer to be secured. It
wa3 tho aptness of tho illustration which
brought homo to the public a realization of
the enormity of what may bo termed a great
national siu that set everybody talking about
the paper that had exhibited tho courage to
preach so powerful a. seiaion. There may
be other Restella here today, but hardly less,
n (u-iiiie than is practiced by them, is tho
total abandonment of babies or tho shirking
of the responsibilities of motherhood by
these wet nurses.
"The tempUttlona to shiftlee3 and mercen
ary females due to the system are very great
and few can resist them. AVet nurses are
usually engaged by the year, and their wages
range from. I'M or $25 a month to $40 or $50
and eveu higher in soma, instances. A
woman gets a good home, all her ex
penses aro paid, and 13 fed on the best of
everything. Practically it is a life of easo
and perhaps luxury for the term of their en
gagement. Their deserted children can be
put out to board for $1Q or $12 a month, and
a great majority pf them are either adopted
or become public charges,' If tha parents of
babies realized the risks they run in taking
this class of women to nurse their little ones
there might be less of this sort of thing done.
There is great danger of chronic diseases and
various complaints being contracted by the
babies. .The private nurseries in which the
children of wet nurses are cared for are noS
what they ought to bo by any means.. a tha
first place, tho babies of necessity are bottla
fed and are more or lftu neglected. They ara
puny "and weak, and if they are pureed
through the various, infantile, complaints are,
for- many reasons, unlikely to become useful
or desirable members of society." New York
