In this graphic way Solomon sets
forth the Idea that the good or evil be
havior of children blesses or blighta
the parental heart. I know there are
persons who seem to have no especial
Interest in the welfare of their chil
dren. The father says : "My boy must
take the risks I took in life. If he
turns out well.'all right ; If he turns out
111 , he will have to bear the cense
quences. He has the same chance that
I had. He must take care of himself. "
A shepherd might just as well thrust
a lamb into a den of lions and say ,
"Little lamb , take care of yourself. "
Nearly all the brute creation are kind
enough to look after their young. I
was going through the woods , and
heard a shrill cry in a nest. I climbed
up to the bird's nest , and I found that
the old bird had left the brood to
starve. But that is a very rare occur
rence. Generally a bird will pick your
eyes out rather than surrender her
young to your keeping or your touch.
A lion will rend you if you come too
near the whelps ; even the barnyard
fowl , with Its clumsy foot and heavy
wing , will come at you if you approach
its young too nearly , and God certain
ly intended to have fathers and moth
ers as kind as the brutes.
Christ comes through all our house
hold-today , and he says : "You take
care of the bodies of your children and
the minds of your children. What are
you doing for their immortal souls ? " I
read of a ship that foundered. A life
boat was launched. Many of the pas
sengers were in the water. A mother
with one hand beating the waves and
the other hand holding her little child
out toward the lifeboat cried out , "Save
my child ! " And that impassioned cry
is the one that finds an echo in every
parental heart in this land today.
"Save my child ! " That man out there
says : "I have fought my own way
through life. I have got along tolerably
well. The world has buffeted me , and
I have had many a hard struggle. It
doesn't make much difference what
happens to me , but save my child. "
You see , I have a subject of stupendous
import , and I am going , as God may
help me , to show the cause of parental
solicitude and then the alleviations of
that solicitude.
The first cause of parental solicitude ,
I think , arises from the imperfection of
parents on their own part. We all
somehow want our children to avoid
our faults. We hope that if we have
any excellences they -will copy them ,
but the probability is they will copy
our faults and omit our excellences.
Children are very apt to be echoes of
the parental life. Some one meets a
lad in the back street , finds him smok
ing and says : "Why , I am astonished
at you. What would your father say
i "he "knew'this ? Where did you get
that cigar ? " "Oh , I picked it up on the
street ? " "What would your father say
and your mother say if they knew
this ? " "Oh , " he replies , "that's noth
ing. My father smokes. " There is not
one of us today who would like to have
our children copy all our example. And
that is the cause of solicitude on the
part of all of us. We have so many
faults we do not want them copied
and stereotyped in the lives and char
acters of those who come after us.
The Matter ot Discipline.
Then solicitude-arises1 from-our
- con
scious Insufficiency and unwisdom of
discipline. Out of 20 parents there may
be one parent who understands how
thoroughly and skillfully to discipline ;
perhaps not more than one out of 20.
We , nearly all of us , err on one side oren
on the other. Here Is a father who
says : "I am going to bring up my chil
dren right My sons shall know noth
ing but religion , shall see nothing but
religion and hear nothing but reli
gion. " They are routed out at 6 o'clock
in the morning to recite the Ten Com
mandments. They are wakened up
from the sofa on Sunday night to re
cite the Westminster catechism. Their
ifedroorn walls are covered with relig
ious pictures and quotations of Scrip
ture , and when the boy looks for the
day of the month he looks for it in a
religious almanac. If a minister comes
to the house , he is requested to take the
boy aside and tell him what a great
sinner he is. It is religion morning ,
noon and night.
'Time passes on , and the parents are
waiting for the return of the son at
night It is 9 o'clock , it is 10 o'clock ,
It jis. 11 o'clock , it is 12 o'clock , it is I
liaif-past-12 o'clock. Then5they hear 1
a rattling of 'the night key , and George
comes in and hastens up stairs lest he
be accosted. His father says , "George ,
where have you been ? " He says , "I
have been out" Yes , he has been out ,
and he has been down , and he has
started on the broad road to ruin for
this life and ruin for the life to come ,
and the father says to his wife :
"Mqth'er , 'the-Ten Commandments are
a'failure. No use of Westminster cate
chism. I have done my very best for
that boy. Just see how he has turned
out" Ah , my friend , you have stuffed
that boy with religion. You had no
sympathy with innocent hilarities. You
had no common sense. A man at midlife -
life said to me : "I haven't much desire
for religion. My father was as good a
manias ever lived , but he jammed re-
llgionT'do'wn my throat when I was a
boy until I got disgusted with it , and
I haven't wanted any of it since. " That
fr.ther erred on one side.
Then the discipline is an entire fail
ure in many households because the
father pulls one way and the mother
puJJs the other way. The father says ,
"My son. I told you if I ever found
you guilty of falsehood again I would
chastise you , and I am-going to keep
my promise. The mother says : "Don't
Let him off this time. "
A father says : "I have seen so many
that make mistake by too great sever
ity in the rearing of their children.
Now , I will let my boy do as he pleases.
He shall have full swing. Here , my
-son , are tickets to the theater and op
era. If you want to play cards , do so.
If you don't want to play cards , you
need not play them. Go when you want
and corrje back when you want to. Have
a good time. Go It ! " Give a boy
plenty of money and ask him not what
'he does with It , and you pay his way
straight to perdition. But after awhile
the lad thinks he ought to have a still
larger supply. He has been treated ,
and he must treat. He must have wine
suppers. There are larger and larger
expenses.
- Ko utt of Lax Discipline.
After awhile one day a messenger
from the bank over the way calls in
and says to the father of the household
of which I am speaking : "The officers
of the bank would like to have you
step over a minute. " The father steps
over , and a. bank officer says , "Is that
your check ? " "No , " he says , "that Is
not my check. I never make an 'H' in
that way. I never put a curl to the 'Y'
In that way. That is not ray-writing ;
that is not my signature ; that is a
counterfeit. Send for the police. "
"Stop , " says the bank officer , "your son
wrote that. "
Now the father and mother are wait
ing for the son to come home at night.
It is 12 o'clock.it is half-past 12 o'clock ,
it Is 1 o'clock. The son comes through
the hallway. The father says : "My son ,
what does all this mean ? I gave you
every opportunity. I gave you all the
money you wanted , and here in my old
days I find that you have become a
spendthrift , a libertine and a sot. " The
son says : "Now , father , what is the use
of your talking that way ? You told
me to go it , and I just took your sug
gestion. " And so to strike the medium
between severity and too great leni
ency , to strike the happy medium be
tween the two and to train our children
for God and for heaven is the anxiety
of every intelligent parent.
Another great solicitude is in the fact
that so early is developed childish sin-
fulness. Morning glories put out their
bloom in the early part of the day , but
as the hot sun comes on they close up.
While there are other flowers that
blaze their beauty along the Amazon
for a week at a time without closing ,
yet the morning glory does its work as
certainly as Victoria regia , so there are
some chilldren that just put forth their
bloom , and they close , and they are
gone. There is something supernatural
about them while they tarry , and there
is an ethereal appearance about them.
There is a wonderful depth to their eye ,
and they are gone. They are too deli
cate a plant for this world. The Heav
enly Gardener sees them , and he takes
them in.
But for the most part the children
that live sometimes get cross and pick
up bad words in the street or are dis
posed to quarrel with brother or sister
and show that they are wicked. You
see them in the Sabbath school class.
They are so sunshiny and bright you
would think they were always so , but
the mother looking over at them re
members what an awful time she had
to get them ready. Time passes on.
They get considerably older , and the
son comes in from the street from a
pugilistic encounter , bearing on his ap
pearance the marks of defeat , or the
daughter practices some little decep
tion in the household. The mother
says : "I can't always be scolding and
fretting and finding fault , but this must
be stopped. " So in many a household
there is the sign of sin , the sign of the
truthfulness of what the Bible says
when it declares : "They go astray as
soon as they be born , speaking lies. "
I'lcklnff at Boys.
Some go to work and try to correct
all this , and the boy Is picked at and
picked at and picked at. That always
is ruinous. There is more help in one
thunderstorm than in five days of
: old drizzle. Better the old-fashioned
style of chastisement if that he neces
sary than the fretting and the scolding
which have destroyed so many.
There Is also a cause of great solici-
E
Lude sometimes because our young people
ple are surrounded by so many tempta- . ,
tious. A castle may not be taken by a
straightforward siege.but suppose there
be inside the castle an enemy , and in
the night he shoves back the bolt and
swings open the door. Our young folks
a
have foes without , and they have foes
tvithin. Who does not understand it ? ?
Who is the man here who is not aware
Df the fact that the young people of
; his day have tremendous temptations ? ' 8
Some man will come to the young
people and try to persuade them that
? urity and honesty and uprightness are
i-sjgn of weakness. .Some man will
: ake a dramatic attitude , and he will
, alk to the young man , and he will say :
'You must break away from your' '
nother's apron strings. You must get :
> ut of that puritanical straitjacket. It
s time you were your own master. You
ire verdant. You are green. You are
insophisticated. Come with me ; I'll
ihow you the world. I'll show you life.
Home with me. You need to see the
world. It won't hurt you. " After
iwhile the young man says : "Well , I
: an't afford to be odd. I can't afford to
) e peculiar. I can't afford to sacrifice
ill my friends. I'll just go and see for
nyself. " Farewell to innocence , which
mce gone never fully comes back. Do
tot be under the delusion that because
ou repent of sin you get rid forever of
ts consequences. I , say farewell to in-
locence , which once gone never fully
: omes back. * * *
Necessity of Early Training.
Begin early with your children. You
itand on the banks of a river and you
ry to change its course. It has been
oiling now for 100 miles. You cannot
ihange it. But just po to the source of
hat river , 50 to where the water just
drips down on the rock. Then with
your knlfo make a channel this way
and a channel that way , and It will
take it. Come out and stand on the
banks of your child's life when It was
30 or 40 years of age , or even 20 , and
try to change the course of that life.
It Is too late ! It Is too late ! Go furth
er up at the source of life and nearest
to the mother's heart , where the char
acter starts , and try to take It in the
right direction. But , oh , my friend , be
careful to make a line , a distinct line ,
between innocent hilarity on the one
hand and vicious proclivity on the
other. Do not think your children are
going to ruin because they make a
racket. All healthy children make a
racket. But do not laugh at your
child's sin/because it is smart. If you
do , you will cry after awhile because it
is malicious. Remember it is what you
do more than what you say that is go
ing to affect your children. Do you
suppose Noah would have got his fam
ily to go into the ark if he staid out ?
No. His sons would have said : "I am
not going Into the boat. There's some
thing wrong. Father won't go in. If
father stays out I'll stay out. " An offi
cer may stand in a castle and look off
upon an army fighting , but he cannot
be much of an officer , he cannot excite
much enthusiasm on the part of his
troops standing In a castle or on hill
top looking off upon a fight. It is a
Garibaldi or a Napoleon I. who leaps
into the stirrups and dashes ahead.
And you stand outside the Christian
life and tell your children to go in.
They will not go. But you dash on
ahead , you enter the kingdom of God ,
and they themselves will become good
soldiers of Jesus Christ.
A Personal Appeal.
. Are your children safe ? I know it is
a stupendous question to ask , but I
must ask it. Are all -your children
safe ? A mother when the house was
on fire got out the household goods ,
many articles of beautiful furniture ,
but forgot to ask until too late , "Are
the children safe ? " When the ele
ments are melting with fervent heat
and God shall burn the world up and
the cry of "Fire , fire ! " shall resound
amid the mountains and the valleys ,
will your children be safe ?
I wonder if the subject strikes a
chord in the heart of any man who had
Christian parentage , but has not lived
as he ought ? God brought you here
Ihis morning to have your memory re
vived. Did you have a Christian an
cestry ? "Oh , yes , " says one man. "If
there ever was a good woman , my
mother was good. " How she watched
you when you were sick ! Others
wearied. If she got weary , she never
theless was wakeful , and the medicine
was given at the right time , and when
the pillow was hot she turned it. And ,
oh , then when you began to go as
tray , what a grief it was to her heart !
All the scene comes back. You re
member the chairs , you remember the
table , you remember the doorsill where
you played , you remember the tones of
her voice. She seems calling you now ,
not by the formal
title with which we
address you , saying , "Mr. " this or
"Mr. " that , or "Honorable" this or
"Honorable" that. It is just the first
name , your first name , she calls you
by this morning. She bids you to a
better life. She says : "Forget not all
ihe counsel I gave you , my wandering
joy. Turn into paths of righteousness.
[ am waiting for you at the gate. "
Dh , yes. God brought you here this
norning to have that memory revived ,
md I shout upward the tidings. An-
jels of God , send forward the news !
iing ! Ring ! The dead is alive again ,
md the lost is found !
HOME FOR HORSES.
? erronnent Asylum for Equities That
Have Outlived Their Usefulness.
Horses were the sole guests at a re-
; ent dinner given by a company of
English men and women who jour-
leyed from London into the country
or the sole purpose of entertaining
heir four-footed dependants. The
cene of the banquet was the Home of
lest for Horses , Friar's place farm , Ae
on. It is an institution presided over
ly the Duke of Portland , and patron-
zed by many of the best-known horse-
overs in the United Kingdom. Pri-
aarily its object is to enable poor peo-
ile to obtain .a few weeks' rest and
ecuperation for their overworked an.l
inderfed beasts of burden , but it also
ffords a permanent asylum for old fa-
orites that have outlived thfj'r use-
ulness. The menu included chopped
pples and carrots , and slices of white
nd brown bread , mixed with a few :
iandfuls of loaf sugar. Nothing could
lave been more to the taste of the
; uests , judging from the eagerness
nth which they plunged their noses
nto the delicate pot-pourri. There are
orty-three horses at the home twen-
y-three of them in the "old favorite"
r "pensioner" class and two don-
: eys. The most famous inmate is
Sexes , an old charger of the Horse
uards , who survived the battle of
'el-el-Kebir , and was afterwards
ought by Dorothy Hardy , the artist ,
rho used him as a model. He has been
a the home six years. Then there is
superannuated brown gelding , whose
wner , a woman , provides him with
illows and blankets , and has estab-
ished her home at Acton in order to
e in constant attendance upon him.

HOSPITABLE CANNIBALS.
Kind to White Strangom , Though They
Occasionally Eat a Black Man.
Rev. Dr. R. H. Nassau expects to re
turn In the spring to his field of mis
sionary work In equatorial Africa. This
Is Dr. Nassau's fourth visit to the
United States since , as a young man , he
was sent to Africa as a' missionary 39
years ago. During the last five years
he has been stationed at Llberville , Ga
boon province ( French ) , engaged in
translating 14 books of the Bible into
the Fang language. These translations
are being printed by the American
Bible society. The Fangs are a tribe of
cannibals , numbering about 1,000,000 ,
and inhabiting the country lying far
up the Ogove river. They are large of
stature , warlike , and represent much
the strongest tribe in that portion of
the country. Dr. Nassau said before
leaving Baltimore that he could not
call the natives that he meets In Af
rica savages ; they are cruel , he said ,
but not bloodthirsty ; their desire to
kill Is more for superstitious reasons.
There are cannibals , he said among
them. He has seen them boiling hu
man arms for food and offering for sale
with other meats human hands ; "and
one day , " continued the doctor , "while
floating down the river in a canoe , ac
companied by my little girl and two
natives to row the boat , we were called
to from a group of naked men standing
on the shore to know if we wished to
buy any meat , and , holding up a hu
man arm , they informed us in their
language that they had just killed two
men belonging to a hostile tribe not far
from there. This was about thirty
miles below my house. " The only
means of transportation through that
portion of the country , Dr. Nassau
said , is by boat. Trade is carried on
without money , a cake of soap or a
piece of calico or beads being all that
is necessary. "The men there arc
polygamists , their importance in the
community being estimated according
to the number of wives , " said- the doc
tor. They are kind to their mothers ,
but abuse their wives. Our mission has
succeeded in bringing about 1,800 of
them into the Presbyterian church. If
before coming Christians they had
married more than one wife we require
them to set all free ( all their wives are
slaves , bought and sold ) but one the
one they might prefer. The African is
very hospitable. No medicine ever gave
me more benefit than the Christian
kindness of these heathen friends of
our little mission. They have a re
ligion they are more religious than
you or I. They feel honored to receive
us as their 'official' guests , and so we
can depend upon their protection. "
ANTI-TREATERS.
They Organize in Baltimore , Md. , and
Propose to Save Lots of Money.
The latest movement of the anti-
treaters has its headquarters in Balti
more , Md. , where an anti-treat circle ,
with a president , officers and twenty-
eight members has been formed. Its
object is , of course , to break up treat
ing. The members meet at their hall
once a week , but no one ever dares to
say , "Have one on me , " for if he
should he would be penalized with a
fine of 25 cents for each treat. Some
of the reason which led to the forma
tion of this circle may be gained from
this lucid statement from one of the
members , who draws a picture whose
fidelity to truth will be recognized
from Maine to Manila : "You and I
go into a saloon with the intention of
having one drink perhaps two. We
meet eight or ten friends who insist
upon our joining them. We do so.
Then you and I reciprocate. Finally
every man in the crowd insists on
everybody else having 'one with him. '
The consequence is that each man
takes eight or ten drinks of whisky
or beer , and after the bout is over
there is not one but who would have
preferred a halt at the first drink.
This custom , repeated several times
i day , year in and year out , will ruin
i man physically and financially. "
Too Drad Turkeys.
A produce dealer who deals in both
ive and dressed poultry , says the Al-
jany Argus , sent to the consignee of
lis dressed poultry a letter intended for
he shipper of the live turkeys , as fol-
ows : "Dear Sir : We regret to advise
7ou that four of the turkeys in your
onsignment of December reached
icre dead. Please make deduction for
same and return corrected account ,
fours truly. " The poultry man com-
nuned with himself and replied thusly :
'Dear Sir : I am sorry to say that I
ind it impossible to make concession
equested. I have established a rule
equiring all customers who desire live
Iressed turkeys to notify us in advance ,
o we can send them in heated cars ,
rurkeys without their feathers and in-
ides are liable to catch cold if shipped
n the ordinary manner. The mortality
imong dressed turkeys was very large
his year. Yours mournfully. "
lellowlnc Muskmelons in Southern Italy
In southern Italy muskmelons are at
iest much inferior to the American
ruit , lacking the sweetness and flavor
if our fruit. Strange to say , however ,
his inferior melon , when saved for
winter consumption , becomes of an ex-
elleat flavor. The melons are pulled
rom the vines while green and hung
a the open air until winter , when
hey are eaten. The melon treated thus
iccomes not only far superior to the
ipe fruit of summer , but equal to the
imerican melon in sweetness and
avor.

Jlltn DcTToy'r Amhltlrn.
There Is ctill much gossip in Wash
ington regarding the presidential aspi
rations of Admiral Dewey or rather
of Mrs. Dewey , for she is credited with
being much more desirous of such ad
vancement than her sailor husband
It Is said to be th desire of John R
McLean , Mrs. Dewey's brother , to keep
the admiral in the public eye until the
campaign four years hence. According
to report the sister and brother are en
tirely at one in this matter.
Diplomacy Is merely the art of con
cealing our dislikes.
