T'TTT? H A T."T A flT? QT7TMmT JL 1 i I i JL rLJJirLA U JlHhjlLjn A PLAIN TALK ABOUT PLAIN PEOPLE. THE Tbey Who Provide the Food of the World, Physical as Well as Moral, Also Decide the Health of the World "Trials of Conspicuous People. EW YORK, July 21. 1895. Rev. Dr. Tal mage, who Is still absent on his an nual mid-summer, j tour, preaching: and lecturing, has pre pared for to-day a sermon on "Plain People," a topic which will appeal t i a very large major ity of readers any where. The text selected was: Romans 16:14-15, "Salute Asyncrltus, Phlegon, Hennas, Patrobas, Hermes, Phllolog-us and Julia." Matthew Henry, Albert Barnes. Adam Clark. Thomas Scott and all the com mentators pass by these verses without any especial remark. The other twenty people mentioned in the chapter were distinguished for something:, and were therefore discussed by the illustrious ex positors; but nothing is said about Asyn critus, Phlegon. Ilermas, Patrobas, Her mes, Philologus and Julia. Where were they born? No one knows. Where did they die? There Is no record of their de cease. For what were they distinguish ed? Absolutely for nothing: or the trait of character would have been brought out by the apostle. If they had been very Intrepid or opulent, or hirsute, or music al of cadence, cr crass of style, or in anywise anomalous, that feature would have been caught by the apostolic cam era. But they were good people, be cause Paul sent to them his high Chris tian regards. They were ordinary peo ple, moving in ordinary sphere, attend ing to ordinary duty, and meeting ordi nary responsibilities. What the world wants Is a religion for ordinary people. If there be In the United States 65,000,000 people, there are certainly not more than 1.000,000 extra ordinary; and then there are 64,000,000 ordinary, and we do well to turn our backs for a little while upon the distin guished and conspicuous people of the Bible and consider in our text the seven ordinary. We spend too much of our time In twisting garlands for remark able?, and building thrones for mag nates, and sculpturing warriors, and apotheosizing philanthropists. The rank and file of the Lord's soldiery need es pecial help. The vast majority of people to whom this sermon comes will never lead an army, will never write a State consti tution, will never electrify a Senate, will never make an Important invention, will never introduce a new philosophy, will never decide the fate of a nation. Tou do not expect to; you do not want to. Tou will not be a Moses to lead a nation out of bondage. Tou will not be a Joshua to prolong the daylight until you can shut five kings in a cavern. Tou will not be a St. John to unroll an Apolcalypse. You will not be a Paul to preside over an apostolic college. You will not be a Mary to mother a Christ. You will more probably be Asyncritus, or Phlegon, or Hermas, or Patrobas, or Hermes, or Philologus, or Julia. Many of you are women at the head of households. This morning you launched the family for Sabbath observ ance. Your brain decided the apparel, your Judgment was final on all ques tions of personal attire. Every morning you plan 'for the day. The culinary de partment of your household is in your dominion. You decide all questions of diet. All the sanitary regulations of your house are under your supervision. To regulate the food, and the apparel. a.nd the habits, and decide the thousand questions of home life is a tax upon brain and nerve and general health ab olutely appalling, if there be no divine alleviation. It does not help you much to be told that Elizabeth Fry did wonderful things among the criminals of Newgate. It Ioes not help you much to be told that Mrs. Judson was very brave among the Borne3ian cannibals. It does not help you much to be told that Florence Nightingale was very kind to the wounded In the Crimea. It would be better for me to tell you that the divine Frl end of Mary and Martha is your Friend, and that he sees all the annoy ances and disappointments and abra sions and exasperations of an ordinary housekeeper from morn till night, and from the first day of the year to the last day of the year, and at your call lit Is ready with help and reinforcement. They who provide the food of the world decide the health of the world. One of the greatest battles of thl3 cen tury was lost because the commander that morning had a fit of indigestion. You have only to go on some errand amid the taverns and the hotels of the United States and Great Britain to ap preciate the fact that a vast multitude of the human race are slaughtered by Incompetent cookery. Though a young woman may have taken lessons In mus ic, and may have taken lessons In paint ing, and lessons In astronomy, she is not well educated unless she has taken les sons In dough! They who decide the apparel of the world and the food of the world decide the endurance of the world. An unthinking man may consider it a matter of little importance the cares of the household and the economies of domestic life but I tell you the earth is strewn with the martyrs of kitchen and nursery. The health-shattered woman hood of America cries out for a God who can help ordinary women in the ordi nary duties of housekeeping. The wear ing, grinding unappreciated work goes on, but the same Christ who stood on the bank of Galilee in the early morning and kindled the fire and had the fish already cleaned and broiling when the sportsmen stepped ashore chilled and hungry, will help every woman to pre pare breakfast, whether by her own hand or by the hand of her hired help. The God who made indestructible eu logy of Hannah, who made a coat for Samuel, her son, and carried it to the temple every year, will help every wo man in preparing the family wardrobe. The God who opens the Bible with the story of Abraham's entertainment of the three angels on the plains of Harare will help every woman to provide hos pitality, however rare and embarrass ing. It is high time that some of the attention we have been giving to the remarkable women of the-Bible re markable for their virtue or their want of it, or remarkable for their deeds De- 9m ! borah ana J;r-1. and Herodtas and A thai Athaliah, and Dorcas and the Marys, excellent or abandoned It Is high tlmo some of the attention we have been giv ing to these conspicuous women of the Bible be given to Julia of the text, an ordinary woman amid ordinary clrcum stances, attending to ordinary duties and meeting ordinary responsibilities. Then there are all the ordinary busl ness men. They need divine and Chris tlan help. When we begin to talk about business life we shoot right off and talk about men who did business on a large scale, and who sold millions of dollars of goods a year; but the vast majority of business men do not sell a million dol lars of goods, nor half a million, nor a quarter of a million, nor the eighth part of a million. Put all the business men of our cities, towns, villages and neigh borhoods side by side, and you will find that they sell less than fifty thousand dollars worth of goods. All these men in ordinary business life want divine help. You see how the wrinkles are printing on the countenance the story of worrlment and care. You cannot tell how old a business man is by looking at him. Gray hairs at thirty. A man at forty-five with the stoop of a nonogena rlan. No time to attend to improved dentistry, the grinders cease because they are few. Actually dying of old age at forty or fifty, when they ought to be at the meridian. Many of these busi ness men have bodies like a neglected clock to which you come and you wind It up, and it begins to buzz and roar. and then tha hands start around very rapidly, and then the clock strikes five, or ten, or forty, and strikes without any sense, and then suddenly stops. So is the body of that worn-out business man Now, what is wanted is grace divine grace for ordinary business men, men who are harnessed from morn till night and all the days of their life harnessed in business. Not grace to lose a hun dred thousand, but grace to lose ten dollars. Not grace to supervise two hundred and fifty employes in a factory, but grace to supervise the book-keeper. and two salesmen and the small boy that sweeps the store. Grace to invest not the eighty thousand dollars of net profit, but the twenty-five hundred of clear gain. Grace not to endure the loss of a whole shipload of spices from the Indies, but grace to endure the loss of a paper of collars from the leakage of a displaced shingle on a poor roof. Grace not to endure the tardiness of the American Congress in passing a necessary law, but grace to endure the tardiness of an errand boy stopping to play marbles when he ought to deliver the goods. Such a grace as thousands of business men . have to-day keeping them tranquil whether goods sell or do not sell, whether customers pay or do not pay, whether tariff is up or tariff is down, whether the crops are luxuriant or are a dead failure calm In all cir cumstances and amid all vicissitudes. That Is the kind of grace we want. Mil lions of men want It. and they may have It for the asking. Some hero or heroine comes to town, and as the procession passes through the street, the business men come out and stand upon tiptoe on their store steps and look at some one who In Arctic clime, or in ocean storm. or In day of battle, or In hospital ago nies, did the brave thing, not realizing that they, the enthusiastic spectators, have gone through trials In business life that are Just as great before God. There are men who have gone through freez ing Arctics, and burning torrids, and awful Marengoes of experiences with out moving five miles from their door. Now, what ordinary business men need Is to realize that they have the friend ship of that Christ who looked after the religious Interests of Matthew, the cus tom-house clerk, and helped Lydia, of Thyatira, to sell the dry goods, and who opened a bakery and fish-market in the wilderness of Asia Miner to feed the seven thousand who had come out on a religious picnic, and who counts the hairs of your head with as mu;h particularity as though they were the plumes of a coronation, and who took the trouble to stoop down with his finger writing on the ground, although the first shuffle of feet obliterated the divine callgraphy, and who knows Just how many locusts there were in the Egyptian plague, and knew Just how many ravens were nec essary to supply Elijah's pantry by the brook Cherlth, and who, as floral com mander, leads forth all the regiments of primroses, foxgloves, daffodils, hya cinths, and Ullles which pitch their tents of beauty and kindle their camp-fires of color all around the hemisphere that that Christ and that God knows the most minute affairs of your business life and however inconsiderable, under standing all the affairs of that woman who keeps a thread-and-needle store as well as all the affairs of a Rothschild and a Stewart. Then there are all the ordinary farm ers. We talk about agricultural life, and we immediately shoot off to talk about Cinclnnatus, the patrician, who went from the plough to a high posi tion, and after he got through the dic tatorship in twenty- cne days went back again to the plough. What en couragement Is that to ordinary farm ers? The vast majority of them none of them will be patricians. Perhaps none of them will be Senators. If any of them have dictatorships It will be over forty, or fifty, or a hundred acres of the old homestead. What those men want Is grace to keep their patience while ploughing with balky oxen, and to keep cheerful amid the drought that destroys the corn crop, and that en ables them to restore the garden the day after the neighbor's cattle have broken in and trampled out the straw berry bed, and gone through the Lima bean patch, and eaten up the sweet corn in such large quantities that they must be kept from the water lest they swell up and die. Grace in catching weather that enables them, without im precation, to spread out the hay the third time, although again and again and again it has been almost ready for the mow. A grace to doctor the cow with a hollow horn, and the sheep with the foot-rot, and the horse with the distemper, and to compel the un willing acres to yield a livelihood for the family, and schooling for the chil dren, and little extras to help the older boy In business, and something for the daughter's wedding outfit, and a little surplus for the time when the ankles will get stiff 'with age, and the breath will be a little short, and the swinging of the cradle through the hot harvest field will bring on the old man's vertigo. Better close up about Cinclnnatus. I know five hundred farmers Just as oble as he was. What they want is to know that they have the friendship of that Christ who often drew his similes from the farm er's life, as when he said: "A sower went forth to sow;" as when he built f Jils best parable out of th scene of m iaimer'8 boy coming back from his wanderings, and the old farmhouse shook that night with rural Jubilee; and who compared himself to a lamb in the pasture field, and who said the eternal God is a farmer, declaring: "My Father Is the husbandman." Those stone masons do not want to know about Christopher Wren, the ar chitect, who built St. Paul's Cathedral. It would be better to tell them how to carry the hod of brick up the ladder without slipping, and how on a cold , morning with the trowel to smooth off the mortar and keep cheerful, and how to be thankful to God for the plain food taken from the pall by the roadside. Carpenters standing amid the adze, and the bit, and the plane, and th broad axe need to be told that Christ was a carpenter, with his own hand wielding saw and hammer. Oh, this is a tired world, and it Is an overworked world, and it is an underfed world, and It Is a wrung-out world, and men and women need to know that there Is rest and recuperation in God and in that re ligion which was not so much intended for extraordinary people as for ordi nary people because there are more of them. The healing profession has had its Abercrombies, and Its Abernethys, and Its Valentine Motts and its Willard Parkers; but the ordinary physi cians do the most of the world's medlclnlng. and they need to under stand that while taking diagnosis or prognosis, or writing prescription, or compounding medicament, or holding the delicate pulse of a dying child they may have the presence and the dictation of the Almighty Doctor who took tha cae of the mad.nan, and. after he had torn off his garments in foaming de mentia, clothed him again, body and mind, and who lifted up the woman who for eighteen years had been bent almost double with the rheumatism, into graceful stature, and who turned the scabs of leprosy Into rubicund com plexion, and who rubbed the numbness out of paralysis, and who swung wide open the closed windows of hereditary or accidental blindness, until the morn ing light came streaming through the fleshly casements, and who knows all the diseases, and all the remedies, and all the herbs, and all the catholicons, and Is monarch of pharmacy and thera peutics, and who has sent out ten thou sand doctors of whom the world makes no record; but to prove that they are angels of mercy, I Invoke the thousand of men whose ailments have been as suaged and the thousands of women to whom in crisis of pain they have been next to God In benefaction. Come, now, let us have a religion for ordinary people in professions, in occu pations. In agriculture, in the household. In merchandise. la everything. I salutt across the centuries Asyncritus, Phle gon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, Phil ologus and Julia. First of all. If you feel that you ar ordinary, thank God that you are not extraordinary. I am tired and sick. and bored almost to death with extra ordinary people. They take all their time to tell us how very extraordinary they really are. You know as well as I do, my brother and sister, that the most of the useful work of the world is done by unpretentious people who toil right on by people who do not get much ap proval, and no one seems to say, "that is well done." Phenomena are of but little use. Things that ure exceptional cannot be depended on. Better trust the smallest planet that svJp.grs p !'. orbit than ten ceer.te shooting this way and hat, imperiling the longevity of worlds attending to their own business. For steady illumination better is a lamp thao a rocket. Then, if you feel that you. are ordinary, remember that yout position Invites the less attack. Conspicuous people how they have to take it! How they are misrepre sented, and abused, and shot at! Tha higher the horns of a roebuck the easier to track htm down. What a delicious thing it must be to be a candidate for President of the United States! It must be so soothing to the nerves! It must pour into the soul of a candidate such a sense of serenity when he reads the blessed newspapers! I came Into the possession of tha abusive cartoons In the time of Na poleon I., printed while he was yet alive. The retreat of the army from Moscow, that army burled In the snows of Rus sia, one of the most awful tragedies of the centuries, represented under the fig ure of a monster called General Frost shaving the French Emperor with a razor ol icicle. As Satyr and Beelzebub he Is represented, page after page, page after page. England cursing him. Spain cursing him. Germany cursing him. Russia cursing him. Europe cursing him. North and South America cursing him. The most remarkable man of his day, and the most abused. All those men In history who now have a halo around their name, on earth wore a crown of thorns. Take the few extra ordinary railroad men of our time, and see what abuse comes upon them, while thousands of stockholders escape. All the world took after Thomas Scott, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, abused him until he got under the ground. Thousands of stockholders In that company. All the blame on one man! The Central Pacific Railroad- two or three men get all the blame if anything goes wrong. There are 10,000 In that company. At an anniversary of a deaf and dumb asylum one of the children wrote upon the blackboard words as sublime as the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Dlvlna Commedla" all compressed In one paragraph. The examiner, in the signs of the mute language, asked her, "Who made the world?" The deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The examiner asked her, "For what purpose did Christ came into the world to save sinners." dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard. "This Is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came Intot the world to save sinners." The examiner said to her, "Why were you born deaf and dumb, while I hear and speak?" She wrote upon tha blackboard, "Even so. Father; for so It seemeth good in thy sight." Oh, that we might be baptized with a contented spirit! The spider draws poison out of a flower, the bee gets honey out of a thistle; but happiness is a heavenly elixir, and the contented spirit extracts It not from the rhododendron of tha hills, but from the lily of the valley. The Mohammedans have ninety-ont names for God, but among them all they have not "Our Vather." Anon. THE SUNDAI SCHOOL. LESSON V. AUG. 4 THE SPIES NUMBERS 13:17-20, 23-33. Golden Text: Fear Them Second Year 'The Lord Is With Us; Not" Numbers 14:9 of the Exodus In the Wilderness for Forty Days. INTRODUCTORY: This section 1 n -eludes Numbers 13 and 17 and the par allel account in Deuteronomy, 1:1, 2, 19-36; also Hebrews, 3:7-19, 4:1-3. Time, July and August, 1490 B. C, the time of the first ripe grapes (v. 20), when the spies were sent out. They were gone forty days. At this time the Israelites were encamped at Kadesh Barnea, Just south of the snnthprn border of Palestine. The I place Is now called AIn Quadees, "the I nll T." r, c. V. mona Via Virtlv' the sanctuary, and Barnea "the desert of wandering." It Is fifty miles south Df Beersheba and eleven days' Journey by caravan from Mount Sinai. At the present- day it is the strategic strong hold of the Mussulman on the southern border of Canaan. It will therefore be seen that the Israelites were close to the fulfillment of God's part of the covenant. Everything was now ready for the people to take possession of their new home. 17 "And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto :hem, Get you up this way, southward, and go up Into the mountain." Not re ferring at all to the direction from the Israelites' camp, but to a well-defined tract of territory forming the south most portion of Canaan. 18 "And see the land what It Is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many." 19 "And what the land be they dwell In, whether It be good or bad, and what cities they be that they dwell In, whether in tents (camps) or in strong holds." 20 "And what the land is, whether It be fat or lean (fertile or barren), whether there be wood therein or not. And be ye of good courage and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes." 23 "And they came unto the brook of Ess Col (the Spies) and cut from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore It (upon a staff between two; see Illustration) and they brought of the pomegranates and of the figs." 24 "The place was called the brook of Eshcol (valley of) because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence." 25 "And they returned from search ing (spying out the) of the land after forty days." 26 "And they went and came to Mo ses, and to Aaron, and to all the congre gation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word unto them, and to all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land." 27 "And they told him and said. We came unto the land whither thou sent ?st us and surely It 'floweth with milk and honey' (an expression used to the present day) and this Is the fruit of It." Deut. 1:25. 28 "Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled (fenced) and very great: and moreover we saw the chil dren of Anak there." 29 "The Amalekltes dwell In the land of the south and the Hittltes and the Jebbusites and the Amorites dwell In the mountains; the Canaanltes dwell by the sea and by the coast of Jordan (along the side of)." SO "And Caleb stilled (directed-their attention) the people before Moses, and "THEY BORE IT." said, 'Let us go up at once and possess It; for we are able to overcome It. " 31 "But the men that went up with him said, 'We are not able to go up against the people; for they are strong er than we.' " The Canaanltes were large, active and trained to war. 32 "And they brought up (secretly devised a new report) an evil report of the land they had searched." They did not wish to go to war and thus sought to defeat the wishes of Moses. 33 "And there we saw the giants (Nephllim), the sons of Anak. which came of the giants; and we were In our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were In their sight." So greatly did their faithless fear distort the facts. FACTS ABOUT SIN. Sin generally begins with a look. It Is sin that makes people doubt the divinity of Christ. : Sin always carries- a dagger under its cloak. Beware of sins that shine. They will kill the quickest. Doubt is only another name for sin. When the face of sin is seen, only devils love It. All sins promise to more than pay their way to begin with. To love any kind of a sin is to have the devil's chain around your neck. Whoever will say a mea.i thing, will sooner or later do one. Sin hates the man who makes it stop and think. It never takes any poison out of sin I to give it a coat of whitewash. Saying yes to any kind of a sin is ! saying no to Christ. Ram's Horn. ! A BICYCLE WATCH. Which Mar Be- Speedily and Con1 e mlently Attached to the Machine.

Definition of Home. A prize was offered recently by the London Tid-Bits for the best answer to the question, "What is home?' Here are a few of the answers which were received: The golden setting in which the brightest jewel is "mother." A world of strife shut out, a world of love shut in. Home is the blossom of which heav en Is the fruit. The only spot on earth where the faults and failings of fallen humanity are hidden under a mantle of charity. The place where the great are some times small and the small often great. The father's kingdom, the child ren's paradise, the mother's world. The jewel casket, coutaiuiug the most precious of all jewels domestic happiness. Where you are treated the best and grumble most. Home is the central telegraph oflice of human love, Into which run innum erable wires of affection, many of which, though extending thousands of miles, are never disconnected from the one great terminus. The center of our affections, around which our heart's best wishes twine.

Consul Haggard dwells, in his last report from Tfieste, en the increase of gambling In that city. Half a doz en or more provincial lotteries are drawn weekly In Trieste their infer ior shares costing only 2d. or 3d. The selection of ticket numbers is often based upon dreams and "omens" em bodied in a systematic form in a pub lished book. It is Instructive to watch the buyers of tickets examining the winning numbers posted up in the streets. Everv occupation Is repre sented, in the towns and out of them, and the waste of time and money is great. Increasingly large sums, It is said, which if circulated through the legitimate channels of trade would support an Industrial population, are now flung from hand to hand in fever ish speculation. There are reports that the Austrian government contem plates embodying in its penal code some measures which might at any rate restrict the present gambling mania within narrower limits. It is the fact, however, that the provincial lotteries, in which the poorer classes chiefly Indulge their speculative ten dencies, are all government property. London Daily News.
