C Nov. 17. 1895.- flJAwAWfl Rev- Dr' Talmage v? fflV'tlXxilli took for the sub ject of to-day's ser mon: "A Word With Women;" the text for the occasion be eing the following letter reserved by the distinguished preacher: Cincinnati. Ohio. Reverend Sir: Tou dellyered a discourse In answer to a letter from six young men or Fayette. Ohio, requesting you to preach a sermon on "Advice to Young Men. Are we Justified in asking you to preach a sermon n "Advice to Young Women?" Letter signed by Six Young TV omen. Christ, who took his text from a flock of birds flying overhead, saying. "Be hold the flowls of the air." and from the flowers in the valley, saying, "Con eider the lilies of the field," and from the clucking of a barnyard fowl, say ing, "As a hen gathereth her chickens under her wing," and from a crystal of salt, picked up by the roadside, saying, "Salt is good," will grant us a bless ing if, instead of taking a text from the Bible, I take for my text this letter from Cincinnati, which Is only one of many letters which I have received from young women In New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, London, Edin boro, and from the ends of the earth, all Implying that having some months .jo preached the sermon on "Advice to Young Men," I could not, without neg- ! lect of duty, refuse to preach a sermon j on "Advice to Young Women. j It Is the more important that the pul- pi: be heard on this subject at this time : vhon v. e are having such an illimitable j discussion about what is called the j "New Woman," as though some new creature of God had arrived oa earth, or were about to arrive. One theory is that she will be an athlete, and boxing glove and football and pugilistic en counter will characterize her. Another theory Is that she will superintend bal lot boxes, sit in congressional hall, and through improved politics bring the millennium by the evil she wll extir pate and the good she will Install. An other theory is that she will adopt masculine attire and make sacred a Tulgarianism positively horrific. An other theory is that she will be so es thetic that broom handle and rolling pin and ccal scuttle will be pictorialized with tints from soft skies or sugges tions of Rembrandt and Raphael. Heaven deliver the church and the world from any one of these styles of new woman. She will never come. I have so much faith in the evangelis tic triumph and in the progress of all things In the right direction that I prophesy that style of new woman will never arrive. She would hand over this world to diabolism, and from being, as ahe Is new, the mightiest agency for the world's uplifting, she would be the mightiest force for its downthrust. I will tell you who the new woman will be. It will be the good woman of all the ages past. Here and there a difference of attire, as the temporary custom may command, but the same good, honest, lovely. Christian, all-in-Cuentlal being that your mother and mine was. Of that kind of woman was Christian Eddy, who, talking to a man who was so much of an unbeliever he had named his two children Voltaire and Tom Paine, nevertheless saw him converted, he breaking down with emo tion as he said to her, "I cannot stand you, you talk like my mother," and tell ing the story of his conversion to twelve companions who had been blatant op posers of religion, they asked her to come and see them also, and tell them j of Christ, and four of them were con- l Terted, and all the others greatly changed, and the leader of the band, departing for heaven, shouted, "Joyful! i Joyful! Joyful!" If you know any bet ter style of woman than that, where is she? The world cannot improve on that kind. The new woman may have more knowledge, because she will have more books, but she will have no more common sense than that which tried to manage and discipline and educate us, and did as well as she could with such unpromising material. She may have more health than the woman of other days, for the sewing machine and the sanitary regulations and added intelli gence on the subjects of diet, ventila tion, and exercise, and rescue from many forms of drudgery, may allow her more longevity, but she will have the same characteristics which God gave her In paradise, with the exception of the nervous shock and moral jolt of the fall she got tnat day when not notic ing where she stepped, she looked up Into the branches of the fruit tree. But I must be specific. This letter De-fore me wants advice to young wo men. Advice the First: Get your soul right with God and you will be in the best ttitude for everything that comes. New ways of voyaging by sea, new ways of traveling by land, new ways of thresh ing the harvests, new ways of thresh books, and the patent office Is enough to enchant a man who has mechanical Ingenuity and knows a good deal of levers and wheels, and we hardly do anything as it used to be done; Inven tion after Invention, invention on top of Invention. But in the matter of get ting right with God there has not been an Invention for six thousand years. It Is on the same line of repentance that David exercised about his sins, and the same old style of p-ayer that the pub lican used when he emphasized it by an Inward stroke of both hands, and the same faith In Christ that Paul suggest ed to the jailer the night the peniten tiary broke down. Aye. that Is the rea- ' son that I have more confidence in it. It has been tried by more millions than I dare to state lest I conic far short of the brilliant facts. All who through Christ earnestly tried to get right with God, are right, and always will be right. That gives the young woman who gets that position superiority over all rival ries, all jealousies, all misfortunes, all , health failings, all social disasters, and ; all the combined troubles of eighty ' years. If she shall live to be an octo genarian. If the world fails to appre ciate her she says: "God loves me, the angels in heaven are In sympathy with me, and I can afford to be patient until the day when the imperial chariots shall wheel to my door to take me up to my coronation." If health goes, she says, "I can endure the present dis tress, for I am on the way to a climate the first breath of which will make me proof against even the slightest dis comfort." If she be jostled with pertur bations of social life she can say, "Well, when I begin my life among the thrones of heaven and the kings and queens unto God shall be my associates, it will not make much difference who on earth forgot me when the invitations to that reception were made out." All right with God you are all right with every thing. Martin Luther writing a letter of con dolence to one of his friends who had lost his daughter, began by saying. "This is a hard world for girls." It is for those who are dependent upon their own wits and the whims of the world and the preferences of human favor, but those who take the eternal God for their portion not later than 15 years of age, and that is ten years later than it ought to be, will find that while Martin Luther's letter of condolence was true in regard to many, if not most, with re spect to those who have the wisdom, and promptitude, and the earnestness to get right with God, I declare that thi3 is a good world for girls. Advice the Second: Make It a matter of religion to take care of your physi cal health. I do not wonder that the Greeks deified health and hailed Hygeia as a goddess. I rejoice that there have been so many modes of maintaining and restoring young womanly health in vented in our time. They may have been known a long time back, but they have been popularized in our day lawn tennis, croquet and golf, and the bi cycle. It always seemed strange and inscrutable that our human race should be so slow of locomotion, when creat ures of less Importance have powers of velocity, wing of bird or foot of ante lope, leaving us far behind, and while it seems so important that we be in many places In a short while, we were weighed down with incapacities, and most men if they run a mile are ex hausted, or dead from the exhaustion. It was left until the last decade of the nineteenth century to give the speed which we see whirling through all our cities and along the country roads, and with that speed comes health. The wo men of the next decade will be health ier than at any time since the world was createdwhile the invalidism which has so often characterized womanhood will pass over to manhood, which by its posture on the wheel, is coming to curved spine and cramped chest and a deformity for which another fifty years will not have power to make rescue. Young man, sit up straight when you ride. Darwin says the human race Is descended from the monkey, but the bicycle will turn an hundred thousand men of the present generation in phys ical condition from man to monkey. For good womanhood, I thank God that this mode of recreation has been invented. Use it wisely, modestly, Christianly. No good woman needs to be told what at tire is proper and what behavior is right. If anything be doubtful reject it. A hoydenish, boisterous, masculine wo man is the detestation of all, and every revolution of the wheel she rides is towards depreciation and downfall. Take care of your health. O, woman; of your nerves in not reading the trash which makes up ninety-nine out of 100 novels, or by eating too many cornu copias of confectionery. Take care of your eyes by not reading at hours when you ought to be sleeping. Take care of your ears by stopping them against the tides of gossip that surge through every neighborhood. Health! Only those know Its value who have lost it. The earth is girdled with pain, and a vast proportion of it is the price paid for early recklessness. I close this though with the salutation in Macbeth: Now good digestion wait on appetite And health on both. Advice the Third: Appreciate your mother while you have her. It is the almost universal testimony of young women who have lost their mother, that they did not realize what she was to them until after her exit from this life. Indeed, mother Is in the apprecia tion of many a young lady a hindrance. The maternal inspection is often con sidered an obstacle. Mother has so many notions about that which is prop er and that which is improper. It is astounding how much more many girls know at 18 than their mothers at 45. With what an elaborate argument, per haps spiced with some temper, the youngling tries to reverse the opinion of the oldling. The sprinkle of gray on the maternal forehead Is rather an indication to the recent graduate of the female seminal y that the circumstances of to-day or to-night are not fully ap preciated. What a wise boarding school that would be if the mothers were the pupils and the daughters the teachers. How well the teens could chaperone the fifties: Then mothers do not amount to much anyhow. They are in the way, and are always asking ques tions about postage marks of letters, and asking, "who is that Mary D.?" and "where did you form that acquaint ance, Flora ?"and "where did you get that ring, Myra?" For mothers have such unprecedented means of knowing everything they say "it was a bird In the air" that told them. Alas, for that bird In the air. Will not some one lift his sun and shoot it. It would take whole libraries to hold the wisdom I which the daughter knows more than , her mother. "Why cannot I have this?" "Why cannot I do that?" And the ques- tlon in many a group has been, although not'plainly stated, "What shall we do with the mothers, anyhow? Tber are so far behind the times." Young woman! draw out, and decide what you will be, and do, God helping. Write it out in a plain hand, not like the letters which Josephine received from Napoleon In Italy, the writing so scrawling and scattered that it was sometimes taken as a map of the seat of war. Put the plan on the wall of your room, or write it In the opening of a blank book, or put It where you will be compelled often to see It. A thou sand questions of your coming life you can settle now, but there Is one question you can settle independent of man, woman, angel and devil, and that Is that you will be a God's woman now, hence forth and forever. Clasp hands with the Almighty. Pythagoras represented life by the letter Y, because It early di vides into two ways. Look out for op portunities of cheering, inspiring, res cuing, and saving all the people you can. Make a league with the Eterni ties. I seek your present and everlast ing safety. David Brewster said that a comet belonging to our system called Lexell's comet, is lost, as It ought to have appeared thirteen times, and has not appeared at all. Alas! it is not only the lost comets, but the lost stars, and what were considered fixed stars. Some of the most brilliant and steady souls have disappeared. The world wonders at the charge of the Light Brigade, im mortalized by Tennyson. Only a few of the six hundred got back from the charge under Lord Cardigan, of the Muscovite guns, and all the havoc was done in twenty-five minutes. The charge beginning at ten minutes past eleven o'clock, and closing at thirty-live minutes past eleven, and yet nothing left on the field but dying and dead men, dying and dead horses. But a smaller proportion of the men and women who go into the battle of life come out un bounded. The slaughter has been and will be terrific, and we all need God, and we need him now, and we need him all the time. And let me say there Is a new woman, as there Is a new man, and that Is the regenerated woman made such by the ransacking, transforming, upbuilding, triumphant power of the Spirit is who so superior to all other spirits that he has been called for ages the Holy Spirit. Quicker than wheel ever turned on its axis; quicker than fleetest hoof ever struck the pavement; quicker than zig-zag lightning ever dropped down the sky, the ransoming power I speak of will revolutionize your entire nature. Then you can start out on a voyage of life, defying both, calm and cyclone, saying with Dean Altord: One who has known in storms to sail I have on board; Above the roaring of the gale I hear my Lord. He holds me when the billows smile; I shall not fall; If short 'tis sharp, if long 'tis light; He tempers all. Had to Shift for Ills shirt. While traveling in a country village In northern England Mr. Blank left one of his shirts behind In a small tavern. Upon finding his loss he wrote at once to the chambermaid asking Its return. She answered as follows: . "Dear Sir: Your letter came too late. I have made your shirt into a shift, so now you will have to shift for a shirt. Your humble servant, Mary Jones." Temperance In Japan.

General Longstreet's tall form is somewhat bent with time. Hi3 eyes have lost their luster, his hair i3 white and scant and his step is halting. The orientalist and one-time famous traveler, D. Giuseppe Sapeto, died the other day in Genoa. Ex-United States Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont has taken up his residence in Philadelphia. It is stated on what is said to be good authority that the proprietors of the Daily Telegraph have conferred upon G. A. Sala a pension of $5,000 a year for life. It has been decided that the eldest son of the Duke of Cumberland is to be educated In Germany, not In Austria. Dr. Karol Lewakowskl, who repre sented the city of Lemberg, Galicia, in the Polish National Alliance conven tion at Cleveland, is visiting the cities of Minnesota and Michigan in the Inter ests of Polish emigration.

DECEM BER 1 KING DAVID. - i Golden Text: "Alan Looketh on the On ward Appearace, but the ort Look' etli on the Heart" 1 Samuel xrl:7 rxlthfnlnesa In AU Thlncs. NTRODUCTORY : The section In cludes chapter 16. Time: About B. C. 1065 to 1068. Sam uel was now about 80 years old. Prob ably in hid last years he was writ ing the chronicles of his time and of the judges, the sub stance of which has come down to us in the books of Judges, Ruth, and 1 and 2 Samuel. David (the beloved) was the son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah. Born at Bethlehem, about B. C. 1085. At tho time of this lesson he was a gifted, charming, but retiring youth of seventeen to twenty years. Today's lesson includes 1 Samuel xvi: 1-13. 1. And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reign ing over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 2. And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said. Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 3. And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. 4. And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably? 5. And he said. Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanc tify yourselves, and come with me to i f js Shepherd Tending Sheep.) the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 6. And It came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is be fore him. 7. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the out ward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 8. Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 9. Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 10. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Sam uel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these. 11. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said. There remaineth yet the youngest, and. behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. 12. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, 'anoint him: for this is he. 13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil 4nd anointed him in the midst of his brethren: arid the Spirit of the Lord etime upon David from that day for vkrd. So Samuel rose up, and went to, Rimah. avld's Faithfulness in Preparation. avid, even If he knew at this time tht he was to be king, could not poa sitiy foresee the great work he was to do. He "knew not where he was goilg," but he knew that, wherever It was faithfulness In present duty was thelonly way to reach it. The only wayjto large things Is through faith fulness in little things. 1. It was by the trength and activity gained In doini his best as a shepherd that he was nabled to meet Goliah and do manyi deeds of daring which gave him powerlas king. 2. He spent his leis ure mars in practicing music. RAM'S HORNS. The icreen in the saloon door means that th devil can sometimes be ashamedpf himself.

An Expensive Dinner. A trio were sitting on the ppstofiice guard rail one night telling stories. One of them related this: "I know of a fellow who had spent a very quiet life in the country and had never been to the city. Coming into a little money he suddenly developed a desire to be a sport and immediately departed for the city. It was his habit after arriving to lounge around the corners in the central part of the city, and he natur ally heard tiie gilded youth talking about the amount of mone3' they spent. "Say, I had a great dinner last night, 'he heard one say, 'and it cost meJJO.' ' "Many other remarks like this he heard, and the rustic sport decided to get into the swim too. He made up his mind at once to get an expensive din ner, not realizing that the most of the money spent by the boasters he had overheard had been for wine. Walk ing into a swell restaurant, he called the waiter over. Say, look here.' said he, 'I want an expensive dinner like the best of the bloods. liring me S?0 worth of ham and eggs.
