tko presence of l)r Talmagi', who preached
this afternoon In tho Auditorium. Every

Itrcntrit ontliiilaiin prevailed. ItUestl

His text wiw Daniel xl, M, "Tho poopl.1

Autlochu Kplphanci, thu old ulnnur,
cmo down three time with hi army to
desolate the Israelites, advancing one tlmu
with a hundred nml two trained elephnntr,
winding their trunk thl way mid tlmt,
twd sixty-two thousand infantry mid lx

driven back. Then, tho second time, ho
advanced with seventy thousand armed

of tho Hoinan embassadors, took a MniT

Antiochu Kplphnncs, and compelled him
to decldo boforo he camo out of that circle;
whereupon Ire lifted tho siege. Some of

forced into hi mouth, plt It out, although
ho knuw ho must dlo for it, and did dlu for
It) and others, a my text say, did exploit.
ALL HAVE TIIIIKK OITOHTUN1T1F.S.
Ad exploit I would dellno to be nn heroia
act, n brave feat, a groat achievement.
"Well," you say, "1 admire such things,
but there is no chance for me; tnlno is a
sort of humdrum life. If 1 had an Antlo
ohus Kplpbsnes to IlKht, I alo could do
exploits." You am right, so far us groat
wan aro concerned. There will probably
bono opportunity to distinguish yourself
in battle. Tho most of the brigadier gen
erals of this country would never huvo
been heard of had It not been for tho war.
Neither wllj you probably become a great
Inventor. Nineteen hundred and ninety,
nine out of every two thousand Inventions
found in tho patent otUce at Washington
asvor yielded their authors etiough money
to pay for tho expenses of securing thu
patent. 80 you will probably never Ixi u
Morso or an Kdlsou or 11 Humphrey Davy
or an 11 Whitney. There Is not much
probability that you will be tho one out of
the huudred who achieves extraordinary
success iu commercial or legal or medical
or literary spheres. What then f Can you
have no opportunity to do exploits? I am
going to show that there aro three oppor
tunities open that aro graud, thrilling, far
reaching, stupendous aud overwhelming.
They are before you now. In one, if not
all three of thorn, you may do exploits.
The throe greatest thing on earth to do
are to save a man, or save n woman, or
i child.
' uuflng
log tho course, of hi llfo almost
very man got Into an exigency, is caught
between two II res, is ground between two
tnlllstouea, alts on tho edge of somo preci
pice, or In somo other way comes uoar dem
olition. It may bo a llimuclal or a moral
or a domestic or a social or a political exi
gency. You sometimes see It In court
rooms. A young man has got into bad
company and ho has offended thu law, and
lie is arraigned. All blushing and con
fused ho Is In thu presence of judge aud
!ury and lawyers, lie can bo sunt right on
n the wrong direction. Ho Is feeling din
graced aud ho is almost desperate.
Lot the district attorney overhaul him
as though ho were an old offender; let thu
ablest attoruoys at thu bar refuse to say 11
word for him, because ho cannot atTord a
considerable fee; let thu Judge give no op
portunity for presenting thu lnltigutlug
circumstances, hurry up thu case aud hus
tle him up to Auburn or Sing Sing. It he
live seventy years, for seventy years he will
be u criminal, and each decado of his life
will 'bo blacker than Its predecessor. In
the interregnums of prUou llfo he can gut
do work, aud he is glad to break 11 window
glass or blow up a safe or play tho high
wayman so as to get back within the walls
where he can get something to eat and
hide himself from tho giuo of tho world.
HE MIGHT IIAVK IIKEN SAVED.
Why don't his father come and help hlmf
His father is dead. Why dou't his mother
come and help hlmf She is dead. Where
are all tho ameliorating aud salutary In
fluence of society? They do not touch
him. Why did not somu one long ago In
the case understand that there was an op
portunity for the exploit which would be
famous In heaven 11 quadrillion of years
after the earth has Income scattered ashes
in the last wblrlwtmU Why did not the
district attorney take that young man Into
his private office and say; "My son, I see
that you are the victim of circumstances.
This is your first crime. You are sorry. I
will bring the person you wrouged into
your presence, and you will apologise and
make all the reparation you can, and I will
give you another chance." Or that young
man is presented in the courtroom, and
be has no friends present, and tho Judge
says, "Who is your counsel?" And lie an
swers, "I have none." Aud tho judgo
says, "Who will tako this young man's
case?"
Aud there is a dead halt, und no one
offers, aud after awhile the Judge turns to
some attorney, who never had a good case
in all his life and never will, and whose ad
vocacy would be enough to secure the con
demnation of Innocence Itself. And tho
professional incompetent crawls up beside
tho prisoner, helplessness to rescue despair,
where there ought to bo a struggle nmoug
all the best men of the profession as to who
should have tho honor of trying to help
that unfortunate. How much would such
an attorney have received as his fee for
such au advocacy? Nothing In dollars,
but much every way in a happy conscious
ness that would make his own life brighter,
and his own dying pillow sweeter, and Ills
own heaven happier the consciousness
that he had saved a maul
DEBTIIUCTION IS UEfOllK HIM.
So there are commercial exigencies. A
very late spring obliterates the demand for
spring overcoats and spring huts aud spring
apparel of all sort. Hundreds of thousand,
of people say, "It seems we are going to
have no spring, and we shall go straight
out of winter Into warm weather and we
can get along without the usual spring at
tire." Or there is no uutumn weather, the
; plunging Into the cold, and the usual
clothing which I 11 compromise bctwMn
summer and whiter Is not required, It
make n difference In the sain of millions
and millions of dollar of goods, and somu
ovcrsiiuguluu young merchant I caught
with a vast amount of unsalable goods
that will never bo salahlo again, except at
price ruinously reduced,
Tho young merchant with 11 somewhat
limited capital Is In a predicament. What
shall thu old merchant do a they see the
young man In this awful crisis? llub their
hands and laugh and sayi "Good for him.
Ho might havu known belter, When he
ha been In limine as long a wo havu ho
will not load his shelves in that way. Hut
Hat Ho will burst up hefom long. He hud
no business to open hi store so near to outs
anyhow" Sheriff sitlel licit Hag in the
window "How much I bid for these oilfr
of-fiuhlou spring overcoat aud spring
hat or fall clothing out of datof Whnt
do I hear In thu way of a hid?" "Four dol
lars." "Absurd; I cannot tako that bid of
four dollar apiece, Why, these coat when
llrst put upon thu market were offered at
fifteen dollar each, aud now I am olTered
only four dollars. I that all? Five dollars
do I hear? Going at thatl Gonu at live
dollars," and ho take thu whole lot.
The young mvrchant gou homo that
night and says to his wlfu: "Well, Mary,
wo will have to move out of thl house and
tell our plittio.
That old merchant that
has had au evil oyu on mo over since I
started Im bought out all that clothing,
and he will havu it rejuvenated, and next
year put It on thu market as new, while uu
will do well If wu keep out of thu poor
house." Tho young man, broken spirited,
goes to hard drinking. Tho young wife
with her baby goe to her father's house,
and not only I hi store wiped out, hut hi
home, his mural and hi prospect for two
worlds thl ami tho next. And devil
make 11 banquet of lire and (III their cups
of gall, and drink deep to thu health of thu
old merchant who swallowed up thu young
merchant who got stuck on spring good
and wont down, Tlmt I one way, and
somo of you huvo tried It.
SAVB IIIM IN THIS WOULD AND TDK NK.XT
Hut there Is another way. That young
merchant who found that he had miscalcu
lated in laying In too many good of one
kind, and been Hung of the unusual season,
Is standing behind tho counter, feeling
very blue and biting his linger nails, or
looking over his account look, which
read darker and worse every time hu look
at them, aud thinking how hi young wlfu
will havo to be put in a plainer house than
she over expected to live In, or go to a
third rate boarding houso, where thoy huvo
tough liver and sour bread live mornings
out of tho seven.
An old merchant comes In and say:
"Well, Joe, this has been u hard season
for young merchants, and this prolonged
cool weather ha put many In tho dol
drums, and I havo been thinking of you
11 good deal of lute, for Just after I started
iu business 1 once got Into the sumo scrape.
Now, if there is anything I can do to help
you out I will gladly do it. Hotter Just put
those goods out of sight for tho present,
aud next season wo will plan something
about thorn. I will help you to somu goods
that you can soil for mo on commission,
and I will go down to one of thu wholesale
house aud tell them that I know you and
will back you up, and if you want a fuw
dollars to bridge over tho present 1 can let
you havo them. Uu as economical as you
can, keep a stiff upper lip, and remembex
thot you havo two friends, God and my
self. Good inornlugf'
Tho old merchant goes away and the
young man goes behind his desk, aud the
tears roll down his cheeks. It Is the llrst
tlmo ho lias cried. Disaster made him mad
at everything, and mad at man and mad
at God. Uut this kindness melts him, aud
the tears seem to relievo his brain, aud hla
spirits riso frou ten below xoro to eighty
in tho shade, and he comes out of the crisis.
About three years after, this young mer
chant goes Into the old merchant's store
and says: "Well, my old friend, I was this
morning thinking over what you did for
me three years ago. You helped me out of
au awful crisis iu my commercial history.
I learned wisdom, prosjierlty has come,
and tho pallor bus gonu out of my wlfu's
cheeks, and the roses that were there when
I courted her In her father's house have
bloomed ngalu, aud my business Is splen
did, und I thought I ought to let you know
that you saved a maul"
Iu n short tlmu after, the old merchant,
who had been a good while slinky In his 1
limbs nud who had poor spells, is called to '

had read thu twenty-third I'salm alwut
"Tho Lord ts my shepherd," lie closes his
eyes on this world, and an angel who had
been for many years appointed to watch
tho old man's dwelling, cries upward thu
news that the patriarch's spirit Is about
ascending, und tho twelve angels who keep
the twelve gates of heaven, unite iu crying
down to this approaching spirit of the old
man, "Come in and welcome, for It has
been told all over these celestial lands that
you saved a man."
TUB WOULD AOAIN8T A WOMAN.
There sometimes come exigencies lu the
life of a womuu. One morning a few years
ago I saw In tho newspaper that there was
a young woman tu New York whoso
pocketbook, t-ontulutug thirty-seven dol
lars aud thirty-three cunts, hud been
stolen, and she hud been left without a
penny at the beginning of winter in u
strange city, und no work. And although
he was a stranger, I did uot ullow tho 0
o'clock mall to leave the lamppost on our
corner without carrying the thirty-seven
dollars and thirty-three cents, and the caso
was proved genuine.
Now, I have read all Shakespeare's trage
dies, and all Victor Hugo's tragedies, aud
all Alexander Smith's tragedies, but I
never read a tragedy more thrilling than
that cose, aud stmlllar cases by the hun
dreds and thousands in all our largo clttes.
loung womeu without money and with
out liouw aud without work in tho grent
uiaciairuum ui metropolitan me, wnen
such a case come under your observation,
how do you treat It? "Get out of my way.
We have no room In our establishment
for any more hands. I don't believe in
women anyway They are a lazy, Idle,
worthless set. John, please show this per
son out of the door."
Or do you compllmeut her persoual ap
pearance and say things to her which If
any man said to your sister or daughter
you would kill htm on the spot? That Is
one way, and it is tried every day In the
largo cities, and mauy of those who adver
tise for female bands in factories and for
governesses iu families have proved them
selves unfit to be tu any place outside of
hell. But there is another way, aud I saw
it one day in the Methodist Uook Concern
In New York, where a young womuu ap
plied for work, and the gentleman In tone
and manner said In substance: "My daugh
ter, we employ womeu here, but I do not
know of any vacaut place In our depart
ment. You bad better Inquire at such
and such a place, and 1 hope you will be
successful lu getting something to do.
Here ts my name, and tell them I sent
you."
The embarrassed and humiliated woman
eeeraed to give way to Christian coaaV
deuce. She started out with a hopefal
look that I think must havu won for her a
pin ce In which to earn her bread. I rather
think that considerate and Christian gen
tleman saved a woman. New York and
llrooklyu ground up last year nbout thirty
: thousnud young women and would like to
' grind up about a many thl year. Out f
all tlat long procession of women who
march on with no hope for thl world or
tho next, battered und bruised and stolTid
at, nml Hung otT the precipice, not one but I
.might havo iM-eu Hiived for homo njmiGod '
and heaven, Hut good men and good worn- I
m aro not In that kind of business. Ala
for that poor thing! Nothing but the thread
'of that sewing girl' needle held her, nud
tho thread broke.
A CONTIIART. I
t have heard men tell In public discourse :
what a man K hut what I a woman?
Until somu otio shall glvu a better dellul- t
Hon, I will tell you what woman I. !)', ,
rect from God, 11 sacred anil delicate gift, I
with directions so great that no ineosurln,; j
line short of that of thu iullnitu God can
tell their liountl. Fashioned to relno aud I
soothe and lift aud Irradiate home and so '
duty aud the world, Of such value that
no otiu ran appreciate It, unless his mother
lived long enough to let him understand
It, or who In somo great crisis of life, when
all else failed him, had a wlfu to ro-euforcs
him with 11 faith In God that nothing could
disturb.
Speak out, ye cradle, and toll of the feet
that rocked you and thu anxious faces that
hovered over yotil Speak out, )u nurseries
of all Christendom, and ye homes, whether
desolate or still In full bloom with thu
faces of wlfu, mother aud daughter, mid I
help mo to dellno what woman Is. Hut as I
geographers tell tin that the depths of tho
sen correspond with thu heights of thu I

row 1 should not wonder If you trem
bled 11 llttlu with a sense of responsibility
whuu I nay tlmt there in hardly a purson In
this house but may havu au opportunity
to save it woman. It may iu your case !u
done by good advice, or by llimuclal help,
or by trying to bring to hear somu 0110 of n
thousand Christian Influences. If, for In
stance, you find a woman In financial dis
tress aud breaking dowu in health aud
spirits trying to support bur children, now
that her husband is dead or an invalid, do
ing that very important and honorable
work but which Is little appreciated
keeping a boarding house, where all tho
guests, according as they pay small board,
or proposu, without paying any board at
all, to decamp, aro critical of everything
aud hard to please, busy yourselves In try
tug to get hermoru patrons, and tell her of
divine sympathy.
Yea, If you seo u woman favored of for
tunu and with all kindly surroundings
finding In tho hollow flatteries of tho
world her chief regalement, living for her
self and for time as If there went no eter
nity, strive to bring her into tho kingdom
of God, as did tho other day a Sabbath
school teacher, who was the moans of the
conversion of the daughter of a man of
Immense wealth, and thu daughter re
solved to Join the church, nud she went
homo und said, "Father, I 11111 going to
Join tho church, and I want you to come."
"Oh, no," hu said, "I never go to church."
"Well," suld the daughter, "If I were going
to be married would you not go to see me
married?" And ho said, "Oh, yeB."
"Well," said she, "this Is of more impor
tance thau that."
So ho went and has gone ever since, and
loves to go, I do not know but that faith
ful Sabbath school teacher not only saved
a woman, hut saved a man. There may lie
in this audience, gathered from all parts of
thu world, there may be a man whose be
havlor toward womanhood has been per
fidious, llupeutl Staudup, thou master
plecuof sin aud death, that I may charge
youl As fur us possible make reparation.
Do not boast that you havu her iu your
powur aud that shu cannot hulp herself.
When that line collar and cravat, and that
elegant suit of clothes comes oil aud your
uncovered soul stands beforu God, you will
be better off If you save that woman.
Volt MAY S.VVK A CHILI).
There is uuothor exploit you can do, and
tlmt Is to savu 11 child. A child does not
8eu,n to amount to much,
year old beforu It can walk
t - -. 1 it .
It Is nearly a
at all, For tho
first year und n half It cannot speak a word.
For tho llrst ten years It would starve If It I
had to earn Its own food. For the first j
fifteen years its opinion on any subject is
absolutely valueless. Aud then there uru I
so many of them My, what lots of ehll- j
drenl And somo eople have contempt for '
children. Tliey aru good for nothing but
to wear out the carpets and break things
and keep you awake nights crying.
Well, your estimate of u child is quite
different from that mother's estimate who
lost her child this summer. They took it
to tho salt air of the seashore aud to the
tonic air of the mountains, but 110 help
came, and the brief paragraph of its life Is
ended. Suppose that llfo could I hi restored
by purchase, how much would that be
reaved mother give? She would take all
thu Jowela from her lingers aud ueck and
bureau nud put them dowu. Aud If told
that that was uot enough sho would take
her house and make over the deed for it,
and If that wore uot enough she would call
lu all her investments nud put down all
her mortgages aud bonds, and if told that
wcro not enough she would say: "I havo
made over all my property, and if I can
have that child back I will uow plodgo that
I will toll with my own hands and carry
with my own shoulders in any kind of
bard work and live iu a cellar und die in a
garret. Only glvo mo back that lost dar
ling!"
I am glad that there are thosu who know
' something of a value of 11 child. Its possl
bltlties are tremendous. What will those
hands yet do? Where will those feet, yet
walk? Toward what destiny will thnt
never dying soul botaku Itself? Shall
those lips be thothronuof blasphemy or
benediction? Come, chronolouists. and
1 calculate the decades on decades, the cen
turies on centuries, of Its lifetime. Oh, to
savo a child! Am I not right In putting
that among the great exploits?
Hut what are you going to do with those
children who are worse off than If their
father and mother hud died the day they
were born? There are tensof thousands of
such. Their parentage was .against them.
. Their name is ugulnst them. The structure
of their skulls Is against them. Their
1 nerves and muscles contaminated by the
Inebriety or dissoluteness of their par
ents; they are practically at their birth laid
out on a plank lu the middle of tho Atlan
tic ocean, in an equinoctial galu, and told
to make for shore. What to do with them
ts the question often asked.
. There Is another question quite as perti
nent, und that Is, What are thuy going to
do with us? They will, ten or eleven years
from now, have as many votes ns the same
, number of well born children, aud they
1 will hand this land over to anarchy and
political damnation just as sure as we ueg-
lect thrtn. Fiuppone we each one of us save
boy or save a girl. You can do It, Will
you? I will.
KNOW GOD AND DR 8TRONO,
How shall we get ready for one or all
of these three exploits? Wo shall make a
dead failure If In our own strength wu try
tosavoa matiorwoinap or child. Uut my
text suggests where wo are to get equip
ment. "Tho people that do know their
God shall be strong nud do exploits," We
must know him through Jesus Christ lu
our own salvation, und then wo shall huvo
his help In the salvation of others, And
while you are saving strangers you may
savo some of your own kin. You think
your brothers and sisters and children nud
grandchildren all safu, but thuy aru net
dead, and no one Is safe till ho Is dead. On
thu English count there was a wild storm
and a wreck In tho oiling, and the cry wu,
"Man the lifeboat!" Hut Harry, tho usual
leader of the suitor') crow, was not to lie
found, aud thuy went without him, and
brought back all tho shipwrecked peoplu
but one.
lly this tlmu Harry, thu leader of tl.u
cruw, appeared and said, "Why did you
leavu that one?" Tho answer was, "Ho
could uot help himself at all, nud wu could
not get him Into thu bout." "Man thu llfo
boatl" shouted Hurry, "and wo will go for
that one." "No," said hi nged mother,
standing by, "you must not go. I lost
your father in 11 storm like this, and your
brother Will went oil' six years ago, unit I
havo uot heard u word from Will since he
left, unit I dou't knuw where hu is, poor
Will, and I cannot let you also go, for I
am old and dependent on you." His reply
whs, "Mother, I must go and mvo tlmt one
man, und if I am lost God will tako care of
you lu your old days."
Tho lifeboat put out, unit uflcr nn awful
struggle with the sen thuy picked the poor
fellow out of thu rigging Just in time to
save his life, and started for tho shore.
And ns thuy camu within speaking dis
tance, Hurry cried out, "Wo saved him,
and tell mother It was brother Will." Oh,
yes, my friends, let us start out to save
some onu for time and for eternity, some
man, somo woman, some child. And who
knows but It tnuy, directly or Indirectly, be
tho salvation of onoof our own kindred,
nud that will hu an exploit worthy of cele
bration when thu world Itself Is ship
wrecked, nud thu sun has gone out like 11
spark from a smitten anvil, and all the
stars are dead I
A Wumlerfill Voice.
Thu worthy clerk of a country church
which tho writer oucu frequently attended
was the happy possessor of a tremendous
bass voice not musical. His resonant
"Amen!" made tho windows nrttto so tho
folks suld. Certainly It uwed every play
fully inclined youngster into rigid atten
tion. The distancu tho villagers said It
could be heard, If "writ" down, would pro
voke derision. In course of tlmo tho vicar
died, and u stranger took his place a nerv
ous gentleman.
When that tremendous "Ah-h-h-iuenl"
reverberated down the aisle ho shivered
and shrank 11a if a blow had beeu struck
him. Unable to sutler lu silence, ho one
dny remonstrated with the too audible
clerk. Suld ho: "Mr. G , I should bo
glad if you would speak tho responses In u
more gentle voice. Your 'Amen' particu
larly gives me a shock."
"A a shock, slrl" stammered tho as
tonished otTcndcr, in a voice that appeared
to proceed from his boots. "Why why
I've been parish clerk here for thirty years
and and" Ho could not finish tho sen
tence. The tdci thnt his "grand nmcn'l
should bo shocking to anybody prevented
utterance.
"Aro you so attached to that unmusical
bull's organ of yours that you nre unwill
ing to moderate its roar?" the vicur asked.
"That's it, sir," was tho deep reply. "I
couldn't do It. Gives you a shock? I think
it's Boinething to be proud of. Thu old
vlcnr was very proud of It." In brief, the
worthy fellow olTered to surrender Ids of
fice. So long its he occupied tho lowest

L'Abbu Mouly, thu only priest who re
ceived the decoration of the Legion of
Honor on the occasion of July 14, will cer
tainly uot be grudged tho distinction con
ferred upon him even by thu most hard
ened enemy of the church. Ho Is, lu fact,
onoof those heroic, self sacrificing work
ers who in every nation nud every climu
earn tho unbounded admiration and re
spect of their fellow creatures, L'Ahhe
Mouly, who is now iu his fifty-fourth year,
served for a long period as military chap
lain in various French possessions. The
worthy priest was acting in this capacity
at Guadeloupe during the Mexican cam
paign, aud all the French transports
touched there on their way home from the
seat of war.
A terrible epidemic of yellow fevor broke
out among the garrison of 800 men, u"
many as twenty-live und thirty deaths oc
curring dully. All the doctors aud the
Sisters of Mercy were curried olf by the
pestilence, and for three weeks the heroic
priest whs alone lu ministering to tho sick.
Iu consequence of his meritorious conduct
tho nbbe was recommended for the Legion
of Honor, hut his nomination was pre
vented by tho events of 1870. Whilo at
Gundeloupo he also distinguished himself
by building on tho He des Saintes, assisted
only by a fuw convicts, n chupel surmount

to pass through a dangerous rocky chan

Speaking of money reminds mo to ask
it you have ever washed any 111 thy lucre.
I never heard of such a tiling until recent
ly, when I happened to bu making u social
call at thu home of a physician. Pausing
a moment at thu open door of his olllce, I
noticed n row of "greenbacks" hanging on
