Trouble Develop and I'.nnobles Charac ter T!m Itcuiity of liif.ilteriiii; Friend ship A I'Hth AYhlcli Start lrkly Often j:ml lirlghtly. Brooklyn, May 20. Tho opptiiiig hymn at tlio Talieniaclo service today begins with the words: More Iovo to thee, O Christ, Jloro love to then. After making a running commentary on some passages of Script uro I lie Ilev. T. Do Wilt Talinage, D. I)., took thu text: "And nho went, and came, and gleaned in the field alter tho reapers: nnd her Itap was to light on a part of tho field lelonging unto Bo:u., who was of iho kindred of Kliniolech." Iiuth ii, 3. He preached from these words tho following sermon: The time that Huth twitl Naomi arrived at Bethlehem iu harvest time. It was tho custom when a sheaf fell from a load in harvest field for the reapers to refuse to gather it up: that was to he left for the KXr who mitfht hapjien to come along that way. If there were handfuls of grain scattered across tho field after the main harvest had leen readied, instead of raking it, as farmers do now, it was, hy the custom of the land, left in its place, so that tho poor, coming along that way, might glean it and get their hread. But, you say: "What is tho uso of all tliese harvest fields to Until and Naomi? Naomi is too old and feeble to go out and toil in the sun; and can you exj)ect that Ruth, tho young and tho beautiful, should tan her cheeks and blister her hands in tho harvest lield?" Boaz owns a large farm, and he goes out to see the reajiers gather in the grain. Coming there, right behind the swarthy, pun browned reapers,- ho lieholds a beautiful woman gleaning a woman more fit to lond to a harp or sit upon a throne than to stoop among the sheaves. Ah, that was an eventful day! It was love at first sight. Boaz forms an attachment for the womanly gleaner an attachment full of undying interest to the Church of God in all ages; while Iiuth, with an ephah, or nearly a bushel of barley, goes homo to Naomi to tell her the successes and adventures of the day. That Ruth, who left her native land of Moab in darkness, and traveled through an undying affection for her mother-in-law, in the harvest field of .Boaz, is sitti anced to one of the best families in ,Ju dah, and becomes in after lime the an- cestressof Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. Out of so dark a night did there ever dawn so bright a morning? I learn in the first place from this sub ject how trouble develops character. It was bereavement, poverty and exile that developed, illustrated ami announced to all ages the sublimity of Ruth's charac ter. That is a very unfortunate man who has no trouble. It was sorrow that made John Bunyan the better dreamer, and Dr. Young the better poet, and O'Connell the letter orator, and Bishop Hall the better preacher, and llavelock tlie better soldier, and Kitto the better ?ncyclopa?disr, and Ruth the better daughter-in-law. I once asked an aged man in regard to his pastor, who was a very brilliant man : "Why is it that your pastor, so very bril liant, seems to have so little heart and tenderness in his seraioiibi"' "Well," ho replied, "the reason is our pastor has never had any trouble. When misfortune comes upon him his style will be differ ent. " After a while the Lord took a child out of that pastor's house; and though the preacher was just as brilliant lis he was before, oh the warmth, the tenderness of his discourses. The fact is that trouble is a great educator. You see sometimes a musician sit down at an instrument, and his execution is cold and formal and unfeeling. The reason is that all his life he has been prospered. But iet misfortune or bereavement come to that man, and he sits down at an instru ment, and you discover the pathos in the first sweep of the keys. Misfortune and trials are great educa tors. A young doctor comes into a sick loom where there is a dying child. I'er Iiap he is very rough in his prescription, and very rough in his manner, and rough in the feeling of the pulse, and rough in his answer to the mother's anxious ques tion; but years roil on, and there had been one de:ul in his own house; and uow he comes into the sick room, and with tearful eye he looks at tho dying child, and he says: "Oh, how this reminds me of my Charlie!" Trouble, the great educator. Sorrow, I 6ee its touch in the grandest painting; I hear its tremor in the sweetest song; I feel its rower in the mightiest argument. Grecian mythology said that the foun tain of Hippocrene was struck out by the foot of the winged horse Pegasus. I have often noticed in life that the brightest and most beautiful fountains of Christian comfort and spiritual life have leea struck out by the iron shod hoof of disas ter and calamity. I see Daniel's courage best by the flash of Nebuchadnezzar's furnace. I see Paul's prowess best when I find him on the foundering 6hip under the glare of the lightning in the breakers of Melita, God crowns his children amid the howling of wild beasts and the chop ping of blood splashed guillotine and the crackling fires of martyrdom. It took tho iersecutions of Marcus Aurelius to develop Polycarp and Justin Martyr. It took the world's anathema to develop Martin Luther. It took all the hostilities against the Scotch Covenanters and the fury of Lord Claverhouse to develop James Renwick, and Andrew Melville, and Hugh McKail, the glorious martyrs of Scotch history. It took the siorrny sea, and the liecember blast, aud the desolate New England coast, and the war whoop of savages to show forth the prowess of the Pilgrim Fathers. When amid the storms they sans. And the6tars heard, and the sea; And the sounding aisles of the dim wood Jiang to the anthems of the free. It took all our past national distresses to lift up our nation on that high career where it will march along after tho foreign aristocracies that have mocked and tho tvrannies that have jeered, shall Le swept down under the omnipotent wrath of God, who hates despotism, and vho, by the strength of his own red ri-ht arm, will make all men free. Au t iTit is individually, and in the family. and in the church, and in the world, that through darkness and storm and trouble men, women, churches, nations are de veloved. H. Again, I see in my text Hie beauty of unfaltering friendship. I suppose thero were plenty of friends for Naomi while she was in proserity, but of all her a rjuaintances, how many were will ing to trudge off with her toward Judah, when she had to make that lonely jour ney? One the heroine of my text. One absolutely one. I suppose when Naomi's husband was living, and they had plenty of money, and all things went well, they had a great many callers; but I supiose that after her husband died, and her property went, and she got old and ior, she was not troubled very much with callers. All the birds that sung in the bower while tho sun shone have gone to their nests, now tho night has fallen. OIi, these beautiful sunflowers that spread out their color in the morning hour! but are always asleep when tho sun is going down! Job had plenty of friends when ho was the richest man in Uz; but when his projierty went and tho trials came, then there were none so much that jH-stered as Eliphaz theTenia nite, and Bildad the Shulute, and Zophar the Naamathite. Life often seems to be a mere game, where the successful player pulls down all tho other men into his own lap. Let suspicions arise alout a man's character and he liecomes like a bank in a panic, and all the imputations rush on him and break down in a day that character which in duo time would have had strength to defend itself. There are rep utations that have been half a century in building, which go down under some moral exposure, as a vast temple is con sumed by tho touch of a sulphurous match. A hog can uproot a century plant. In this world, 60 full of heartlessness and hypocrisy, how thrilling it is to find somo friend as faithful in days of adver sity as in the days of prosperity. David had such a friend in Ilushai; the Jews had such a friend in Mordecai, who never forgot their cause; Paul hail such a friend in Onesiphorus, who visited him in jail; Christ had such in tho Marys, who ad hered to him on the cross; Naomi had such a one in Ruth, who cried out: "En treat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee;for whither thou goest. I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my peo ple, and thy God, my God; where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me." III. Again: I learn from this subject that paths which open in hardship and darkness often come out in places of joy. When Ruth started from Moab toward Jeruralem, to go along with her mother-in-law, I suppose the people said: "Oh, what a foolish creature to go away from her father's house, to go oil with a poor old woman toward the land of Judah! They won't live to get across the desert. They will be drowned in the sea, or the jackals of the wilderness will destroy them." It was a very dark morning when Ruth started off with Naomi; but behold her in my text in the harvest field of Boaz, to be affianced to one of the lords of the land, and become one of tho grandmothers of Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. And so it often is that a path which starts very darkly ends very brightly. When you started out for heaven, oh, how dark was the hour of conviction how Sinai thundered, nnd devils tor mented, and tho darkness thickened! All the sins of your life pounced upon you, and it was the darkest hour you ever saw when you first found out your sins. After a while you went into tho harvest field of God's mercy; you began to glean in tho fields of divine promise, and you had more sheaves than you could carry, as the voice of God addressed you, saying: "Blessed is the man whoso transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered." A very dark start ing in conviction, a very bright ending in the pardon and the hope and the triumph of tlie Gospel! So, very often in our worldly business or in our spiritual career, we start off on a very dark path. We must go. The flesh may shrink back, but thero is a voice within, or a voice from above, say ing: "You must go;" and wo have to drink the gall, and we have to carry the cross, and we have to traverse tho desert, and we are pounded and flailed of mis representation and abuse, and we have to urge our way through ten thousand ob stacles that must be slain by our own right arm. We have to ford the river, we have to climb the mountain, we have to storm the castle, but, blest be God, the day of rest and reward will come. On the tip top of the captured battlements we shall shout the victory; if not in this world, then in that world where there is no gall to drink, no burdens to carry, no battles to fight. How do I know it? Know it! I know it because God says so: "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat, for the Lamb which Is in tho midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes." It was very hard for Noah to endure the scofSng of the people in his day while he was trying to build the ark, and was every morning quizzed about his old boat that would never be of any practi cal use; but when the deluge came, and the tops of tho mountains disappeared like the backs of sea monsters, and the elements, lashed up in fury, clapped their hands over a drowned world, then Noah in the ark rejoiced in his own safety and in the safety of his family, and looked out on the wreck of a ruined earth. Christ, hounded of persecutors, denied a pillow, worse maltreated than the thieves on either side of the cross, human hate smacking its lips in satisfaction after it had been draining his last drop of blood, the sheeted dead bursting from tho sepulchers at his crucifixion. Tell me, O Getlisemane and Golgo tha! were there ever darker times than those? Like the booming cf the midnight sea against the rock, the surges of Christ's anguish beat against the gates of eternity, to be echoed back by all the thrones of heaven and all the duDgeons of hell. But the day of reward comes for Christ; all the pomp and dominion of this world are to be hung on his throne, uncrowned heads are to bow before him on whose head are maviy crowns, and all the celestial worship is to come up at his feet, like the humming of the forest, like tho rushing of the waters, like the thun dering of the seas, while all heaven, ris ing on their thrones, beat time with their scepters: "Hallelujah, for the Ird God omnipotent reigneth! Hallelujah, tho kingdoms of this world have liecomo tho kingdoms of our Ixjid Jesus Christ!" Tlmt nonjj of love, now low and far, F.re long shall swell from star to star; That litflit, tin? l)i-yi!;iijf day which tins Tl. golden spinal A locaIypse. IV. Again: I learn from my subject that events which seem to bo most insig nificant may le momentous. Can you imagine anything more unimportant than the coming of a poor woman from Moab to Judah? Can you imagine anything more trivial than tho fact that this Ruth just happened to alight as they say just hapjened to alight on that field of Boaz? Yet all ages, all generations have an interest in the fact that she was to be come an ancestor of the Lord Jesus Christ, and all nations and kingdoms must look at that ono little incident with a thrill of unspeakable and eternal satis faction. So it is in jour history and in mine: events that you thought of no im ortance at all have lxen of very great moment. That casual conversation, that accidental meeting you did not think of it again for a long while; but how it changed all tho phase of jour life! It seemed to l of no importance that Jubal invented rude instruments of music, calling them harp and organ; but they were the introduction of all th world's minstrelsy; and as you hear tho vibration of a stringed instrument, given after the fingers have been taken away from it, so all music now of lute and drum and cornet is only the long con tinued strains of Jubal's harp and Jubal's organ. It seemed to bo a matter of very little importance that Tubal Cain learned the uses of copper and iron; but that rude foundry of ancient days has its echo in the rattle of Birmingham ma chinery, and the roar and bang of fac tories on the Merrimac. It seemed to be a matter of no imjiort ance that Luther found a Bible in a monastery; but as he opened that Bible, and the brass bound lids fell back, they jarred everything, from the Vatican to the furthest convent in Germany, and the rustling of the wormed leaves was the sound of the wings of the angel of the Reformation. It seemed to be a mat ter of no importance that a woman, whose name has been forgotten, dropped a tract in the way of a very bad man by the name of Richard Baxter. He picked up the tract and read it, and it was the means of his salvation. In after days that man wrote a look called "The Cat to the Unconverted." that was the means of bringing a multi tude to God, among others Philip Dod dridge. Philip Doddridge wrote a book called "The Rise and Progress of Re ligion," which has brought thousands and tens of thousands into the kingdom of God, and among others the great Wilberforce. Willerforce wrote a look called "A Practical View of Christian ity," which was the means of bringing a great multitude to Christ, among others Legh Richmond. Legh Richmond wrote a tract called "The Dairyman's Daugh ter," which has been the means of the salvation of unconverted multitudes. And that tide of influence started from the fact that one Christian woman dropped a Christian tract in the way of Richard Baxter the tide of influence rolling on through Richard Baxter, through Philip Doddridge, through tho great Wilberforce, through Legh Rich mond, on, on, on, forever. So the in significant events of this world seem, after all. to bo most momentous. The fact that you came up that street or this street seemed to le of no importance to you, and the fact that you went inside of fpme church may seem to lxi a matter of very great insignificance to you, but you will find it the turning point of your history, V. Again : I see in my subject an il lustration of the beauty of female in dustry. Behold Ruth toiling in the harvest field under the hot sun, or at noon tak ing plain bread with the reapers, or eat ing the parched corn which Boaz handed to her. The customs of society, of course, have changed, and without the hard ships and exposure to which Ruth was subjected every intelligent woman will find something to do. I know there is a 6ickly sentimentality on this subject. In some families there tiro persons of no practical service to the household or community; and though there are so many woes all around about them in the world, they spend their time languishing over a new pattern, or burst ing into tears at midnight over the story of some lover who shot himself! They would not deign to look at Ruth carrying back the barley on her way home to her mother-in-law Naomi. All tliis fastidi ousness may seem to do very well while they are under the shelter of their father's house; but when the sharp winter of misfortune comes, what of these butter flies? Persons under indulgent parentage may get upon themselves habits of indo lence; but when they come out into prac tical life their soul will recoil with dis gust and chagrin, They will feel in their hearts what tho poet go severely satirized when he 6aid: Tofts are so awkward, things so impolite. They're elegantly pained from morning until night. Through that gate of indolence how many men and women have marched, useless on earth, to a destroyed eternity! Spinola said to Sir Horace Vere: "Of what did your brother die?" "Of hav ing nothing to do," was the answer. "Ah," said Spinola, "that's enough to kill any general of us." Oh! can it be possible in this world, where there is 60 much suffering to be alleviated, so much darkness to be enlightened, and so many burdens to be carried, that there i3 any person who cannot find anything to do? Mine, de Stael did a world of work jn her time; and ono day while she ;was seated amid instruments of music, all of which she had mastered, and amid man uscript books which she had written, some one said to her: "How do you find time to attend to all these things?" "Oh,' she replied, "these are not tho things I am proud of. My chief boast is in the fact that I have seventeen trades, by any one of which I could make a livelihood if necessary." And if in sec ular spheres thero is so much to ie done, in spiritual work how vast the field! We want more Abigails, more Hannahs more Rebeccas, more Marys, more De borahs consecrated body, mind, soul to tho Lord who bought them. VI. Once more: I learn from my sub ject the value of gleaning. Ruth, going into that harvest field, might have said: "Thero is a straw, and there is a straw, but what is a straw? I can't get any barley for myself or my mother-in-law out of these separate straws." Not so, beautiful Ruth. Sho gathered two straws, and she put them together, and more straws, until she got enough to make a sheaf. Putting that d'jwn, she went and gathered more straws until sho had another sheaf, and another, and another, anil another, and then she brought them nil together, and she threshed them out, and she had an ephah of barley, nigh a bushel. Oh, that we might all be gleaners! Elihu Burritt learned many things while toiling in a blacksmith's shop. Alwrcrombie, tho world renowned phi losopher, was a philosopher in Scotland, and ho got his philosophy, or the chief part of it, while, as a physician, ho was wailing for tho door of tho sick room to open. Yet how many there are in this day who say they are so busy they have no time for mental or spiritual improve ment; the great duties of life cross tho field like strong reapers, and carry off all tho hours, and thero is only here and there a fragment left that is not worth gleaning. Ah, my friends, you could go into the busiest day and busiest week of j-our life and find golden opportunities, which, gathered, might at least make a whole sheaf for tho Lord's gamer. It is tho stray opportunities and the stray privileges which, taken up and bound to gether and beaten out, will at last fill you with abounding joy. There are a few moments left worth the gleaning. Now, Ruth, to the field! May each one have a measure full and running over! Oh, you gleaners, to the field! And if there be in your household an aged one or a sick relative that is not strong enough to come forth and toil in this field, then let Ruth take home to feeble Naomi this sheaf of gleaning: "lie that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." May t lie Lord God of Iiuth and Naomi lo our lortion forever ! BITS OF GOOD READING. Damascus is to have street cars just like any modern city. One of the young Indians in the school at Carlisle, Pa., has sent home a descri p tion of the "ear gloves" he has 6een pale faces wearing. The Pall Mall Gazette says that "it In comes more and more palpable every day to the careful observer that the posi tion of tho czar in European polities is Incoming more and more dominant. " An Indian elephant lately acquired at Central Park, New York, is nine feet high, though quite young, and bids fair to outgrow Jumbo. It daily consumes about two and one-half trusses of hay ami 200 pounds of vegetables, washed down with eighty gallons of water. The proposed schedule for taxing British horses and carriages is this: For every horse, J; every race horse, ; every horso dealer, 15; two wheel carts, 5 shillings; four wheel carts, 10 shillings, and for carts weighing more than half a ton, 1 5s. It was fortunate in the case of triplets, born lately in Pekin, that they were girls. Had they been all boys, under the laws of the empire they would have been be headed, as there is a tradition that one of three such children will invade and at tempt to overthrow the government. The United States supreme court has sustained the validity of the Kansas law making railroad companies responsible iu damages for injuries to their employes growing out of the negligence or care lessness of fellow employes. This is con trary to the common law rule, and the ruling will in good time have most salu tary results. Just now the ruling "fad" in Parisian society is a mania for medical and sur gical curiosities. The scenes of tho dead house, tho dissecting room and the sur gical theatre, all matters of purely pro fessional intereet, have become the spec tacle of the hour and tho twin diversion with social small talk. This is due, no doubt, to the diseased realism in the world of fiction where Zola and his imi tators rule. The Rev. W. Norton, at a hunting din ner in Hertforshire, said that the clergy lately had rather abandoned tho hunt ing field, because they were shy of the public. He thought that sermons would be improved if preachers could have a gallop with the hounds twice a week, and if the late bishop of Winches ter had not hesitated to attend the hunt ing field he would not have been killed by galloping on tho lughway. It was not only tho school for good riding, but the school for good manners. Fashion has declared in favor of low ceilings at home. It has been decided that it is very difficult to furnish a high ceiled room so that it shall look cozy and inviting. In fact, fashion doesn't be lieve that a room with a high ceiling can be properly handled at all. In view of these discoveries, it is growing customary to put in false ceilings of canvas at a height of about nine feet from the floor. Then the canvas is treated with fresco ing, or tinting, or paneling, with light gilt work, as the decorator pleases. The Veterinary Surjjeon'a M"ork. Great improvement has been made in tho medical and surgical treatment of the horse in the past few years. The treatment is more scientific in every re spect. The veterinary surgeon nowa days must possess a thorough education and be jostetl in as many branches as a physician. His calling requires him to be particularly sensitive and alert, for lie is treating a dumb animal whose mani festations of pain are difncnlt to make out. Tho result of all this is that the sick or injured horse gets nearly as care ful and minute treatment as the sick or injured man. Fractured bones are often reset. "anil even amputation has been per formed for sjocial purposes. Let the horse injure its leg or foot and the mem ber is done up in a sling as tenderly and carefully as though it belonged to a hu man being. New York Mail and Ex press. , . .
