Then, as if repenting of even his laugh

"THE MARRIAGE FEAST," LAST
SUNDAY'S SUBJECT.
The (hrlNir.'tn Religion, When Properly
Practiced, the Refuge tut the Forlorn
— The World Incited to n Feast of
lioly Joy.
(Copyright. 1900. by Lou!* Klop*ch.)
A remarkable illustration of the ubi
quity of English speaking people ia
furnished by the requests that have
reached Dr. Talmage In northern Eu
rope for a sermon in and out of the
way places where he did not expect to
find a single person who could under
stand him. There, as here, he pre
sents religion as a festivity and Invites
all the world to come as guests and
join in its holy merriment; text. John
il, 10, "Thou hast kept the good wine
until now."
This chapter invites us to a mar
riage celebration. It is a wedding In
common life, two plain people having
pledged each other, hand and heart,
and their friends having come in for
congratulation. The Joy is not the
less because there is no pretension.
In each other they find all the future
they want. The daisy in the cup on
the table may mean as much as a
score of artistic garlands fresh from
the hothouse. When a daughter goes
off from home with nothing but a
plain father’s blessing and a plain
mother's love, she is missed as much
as though she were a princess. It
seems hard after the parents have
sheltered her for eighteen years, that
in a few short months her affections
should have been carried off by anoth
er, hut mother remembers how it was
in her own case when she was young,
and so she braces up until the wed
ding 1ms passed and the banqueters
are gone, and she has a cry all alone.
Well, we are today at the wedding
in Cana of Galilee. Jesus and his j
mother have been Invited. It is evi
dent that there are more people there
than were expected. Either some peo
ple have come who were not invited
or more invitations have been sent out
than it was supposed would be ac- |
cepted. Of course there is not a suf
fldent supply of wine. You know that i
there is nothing more embarrassing to
a housekeeper than a scant supply.
Jesus sees the embarrassment, and he j
comes up immediately to relieve it. He j
sees standing six water pots. He or
ders the servants to fill them with
water, then he waves his hand over
the water, and immediately it is wine
—real wine. Taste of It and see for
yourselves. No logwood In It. no
strychnine in it, but first rate wine, i
will not now be diverted to the
question so often discussed in my own
country whether it is right to drink
wine. I am describing the scene as it
was. When God makes wine he
makes the very best wine, and 130
gallons of it standing around iu these i
water pots—wine so good that the j
ruler of the feast tastes it and says:
"Why, this is really better than any- j
thing we have had. Thou hast kept
the good wine until now.” Beautiful
miracle! A prize was offered to the
person who should write the best es
say about the miracle in Cana. Long
manuscripts were presented in the
competition, hut a poet won the prize
by just this one line descriptive of the
miracle; "The conscious water saw
Its God and blushed.”
Iliile* Ills Own Orient.
Jesus does not bhudow the Joys of
others with his own griefs. He might
have sat down in that wedding and
said: "I have so much trouble, so
much poverty, so much persecution,
and the cross is coming. 1 shall not
rejoice, and the gloom of ray face and
of my sorrows shall be cast over all
this group.” So said not Jesus. He
said to himself: “Here are two per
sons starting out in married life. Iu?t
it be a joyful occasion. I will hide my
own griefs. I will kindle their joy.”
There are many not so w ise as that. I
know a household where there are
many little children, where for two
years the musical instrument has
been kept shut because there has been
trouble in the house. Alas for the
folly! Parents saying: "We will
have no Christmas tree this coming
holiday because there has been trou
ble in the house. Hush that laughing
up stairs! How can there be any joy
when there has been so much trou
ble?” And so they make everything
consistently doleful and send their
sons and daughters to ruin with the
gloom they throw around them.
Oh, my dear friends, do you not
know those children will have trouble
enough of their own after awhile? He
glad they cannot appreciate all yours.

people. Christianity does not clip the
wings Of the soul. Religion dots not
frost the flowers. What is Christian
ity? I take it to be simply a proc
lamation from the throne of God of
emancipation for all the enslaved,
and if a man accepts the terms of that
proclamation and becomes free has he
not a right to be merry? Suppose a
father has an elegant mansion and
large grounds. To whom will he give
the first privilege of these grounds?
Will he say: “My children, you must
not walk through these paths, or sit
down under these trees or pluck this
fruit. These are for outsiders. They
may walk In them." No father would
say anything like that. He would say,
"The first privileges in all the grounds
and all of my house shall be for my
own children.' And yet men try to
make us believe that God's children
are on the limits and the chief re
freshments and enjoyments of life are
for outsiders and not for his own
children. It is stark atheism. There
is no innocent beverage too rich for
God's child to drink, there is no robe
too costly for him to wear, there is no
hilarity too great for him to indulge
in and no house too splendid for him
to live in. He haa a right to the joys
of earth; he shall have a right to the
Joys of heaven. Though tribulation
and trial and hardship may come to
him, let him rejoice. "Rejoice in the
Lord, ye righteous, and again I say
rejoice."
I remark again that Christ comes to
us in the hour of our extremity. He
knew the wine was giving out before
there was any embarrassment or mor
tification. Why did lie not perform
the miracle sooner? Why wait until
it was all gone, and no help could
come from any source, and then come
in and perform the miracle? This is
Christ's way, and when he did come
in, at the hour of extremity, lie made
first rate wine, so that they cried out.
“Thou hast kept the good wine until
now.” Jesus in the hour of extrem
ity! He seems to prefer that hour.
In a Christian home in Poland great
poverty had come, and on the week
day the man was obliged to move out
of the house with his whole family.
That night lie knelt with his family
and prayed to God. While they were
kneeling in prayer there was a tap on
the window pane. They opened the
window, and there was a raven that
the family had fed and trained, and it’
had in its bill a ring all set with pre
cious stones, which was found out to
be a ring belonging to the royal fam
ily. It was taken up to the king’s
residence, and for the honesty of the
man in bringing it back he had a
house given to him and a garden and
a farm. Who was it that sent the
raven tapping on the window? The
same God that sent the raven to feed
Elijah by the brook Chrrith. Christ
in the hour of extremity!
A (•nmiler Wedding*
The wedding scene is gone now. The
wedding ring has been lost, the tank
ards have been broken, the house i3
down, but Jesus invites us to a grand
er wedding. You know the Bible says
that the church is the Lamb’s wife,
and the Lord will after awhile come
t<» fetch her home. There will be
gleaming of torches in the sky, and
the trumpets of God will ravish the
air with their music, and Jesus will
stretch out his hand, and the church,
robed in white, will put aside her veil
and look up into the face of her Lord,
the King and the Bridegroom will say
to the bride: "Thou hast been faith
ful through ali these years! The man
sion is ready! Come home! Thou
art fair, my love.’’ And then he will
put upon her brow the crown of do
minion, and the table will be spread,
and it will reach across the skies, and
the mighty ones of heaven will come
in, garlanded with beauty and striking
their cymbals, and the Bridegroom
and bride will stand at the head of
the table, and the banqueters, looking
up. will wonder end admire and say:
“That is Jesus, the Bridegroom! But
the scar on his brow is covered with
the coronet, and the stab in his side
is covered with a robe!” And "That
is the bride! The weariness of her
earthly woe lost in the flush of this
wedding triumph!”
There will be wine enough at that
wedding; not coming up from the poi
soned vats of earth, but the vineyards
of God will press their ripest clusters
and the cups and the tankards will
blush to the brim with the heavenly
vintage, und then all the banqueters
; will drink standing. Ksther, having

II. "And from thence." from Galilee,
anil probably from Capernaum. "He
arose, aiul went.” Ills reason for leaving
Capernaum arise from the increasing op
position of the Pharisees, as described In
the earlier part of this chapter, and in
John li: 41-6t>. Jesus went away not only
to avoid open conflict, but to gain rest i
from opposition and from overburdening
work, for he "would have no man know
It." This year of Ills ministry “was
marked by the intense and exacerbated
opposition of the scribes and Pharisees.
"Went Into the borders of Tyre and Fi
don.” Two flourishing seaports, and cap
itals of Phoenicia, a narrow, level dis
trict nlong the shores of the Mediter
ranean. tSldon was twenty miles north of
Tyre.
25. ‘‘For a certain woman," She w.is
iv. 26) "u Greek," that Is, "a Greek
speaking Gentile," under the Inlluetiee of
Greek manners and customs "like the
Hi lb tildes mentioned In Acts 17; 12. 'A
woman of Canaan' describes her re
ligion."—Cambridge Bible. Canaan was
the older title of the country, "A Hyro
phenlelan by nation." rather by race.
She was a Syrian Phoenician In distinc
tion from the Carthagi nian Phoenicians.
Thus she represented the descendants of
Shein and II,im by descent, and of
Japhetli by language and civilisation, and
thus was "a representative of the vast
multitude of pagans." "Heard <>f him."
Not merely of his presence, but of his
works. Some knowledge of the new
prophet must have extended beyond the
borders of Galilee. Then, too, as Farrar
suggests, "among the multitudes who
had resorted to his teaching In the h.ip
arly days of his Sermon on the
Mount were 'they about Tyre and Sfdon'
(Mark 3: S), Among them may have been
this poor Syrophoenlelan woman."
"Whose young daughter had an unclean
spirit." Matthew says she was griev
ously vexed wdth It devil, or rather a
demon. It was called an unclean spirit
because it produced uncleaniiness of body
and soul.
26. "She besought him." "She cried
unto him, saying, 'Have mercy on me, <•
Ford, thou son of David,.Ford, help
me." (Matthew.) "Crying is a large
share of woman's occupation In the Fast.
Women are employed as public mourners
at a funeral, when they attend to what
ever demonstrations are to be made,
often crying aloud, shrieking, and tear
ing their hair. They go before army of
fleers to plead for the release of con
scripted recruits. They cry for mercy
und kind treatment for prisoners.
27. "Fet the children." The Jews, who
were the chosen family of God, who had
been taught and trained so that they
could be persuaded to belong to the king
dom of God. "First be tilled." They had
the llrst claim, and through them, tilled
with the principles of the heavenly king
dom. all the rest could best receive the
bread of life. "It Is not meet (fitting,
fair, reasonable) to lake tile children's
bread, and to cast it unto the dogs."
"The Jews in general, the Pharisees with
special scorn, used to speak of all Gen
tiles as ‘dogs,’ and ‘dog’ In the Fast is
the one expression which conveys the
deepest contempt and hatred."
2H. "And she answered." Grasping at
the hope Implied In Jesus' words, and
probably even more In the tones of his
voice. “Vet the dogs under the table eat
of the children's crumbs.” "The word
for crumbs only occurs elsewhere in the
parable of Fazarus (Luke 16: 2D. The
crumbs are not only accidental frag
ments, but also the pieces of bread on
which the guests. In the absence of nap
kins, wl|ied their hands, and then threw
them to the dogs to eat."—Farrar. “The
little dogs are not outside. They, too,
have a place In the family. If Christ
puts it so, then she and her people have
a place, though a humble one, In the
house of the Master of all. The children
may be fed llrst; but they, too, are to be
remembered and blessed."—R. W. Dale.
So let rne have the crumbs, what Is left
ever after you have done all you plan
for the Jews. It will not take anything
away from them If you help me. If I am
a dog, I can fitly ask to he treated as a
dog. Jesus replied to this, “O wonSan,
great Is thy faith."
29. "For this saying." Because It
proved the greatness of her faith. "The
devil is gone out of thy daughter." Je
sus (lid not prolong the agony of her sus
pense. Her faith had triumphed. From
that hour, says Matthew, her daughter
was healed. She proved the reality and
greatness of her faith by ceasing from
her cries and going back to her house,
where tv. 3n "she found the devil gone
out. and her daughter laid upon the bed."
"Fit., thrown. She had probably experi
enced some fearful convulsion when the
demon departed. Compare Mark 9: 22, of
the demon which possessed the hoy, 'It
hath cast him,' etc, (the same word In
Greek). See also Mark 1; 26 , 9 : 26."

WISE WORDS FROM MANDERSON.
(■prtki on "lMtngers of MilltarUia” to
Went Point C.tileln.
At the closing t*crcises of the West
Point Military Academy. General
Charles V\ Mandsrson, was selected to
make the address to the class. General
Mandcrscn proceeded in his open and
frank style and in the course of ills ad
dress made the following utterances on
militarise «*.nd the dangers of a stand
ing army.
“When war comes it is usually the
unexpected that happens. That wise
and close observer, Do Toequeville,
said: 'War is an occurrence to which
all nations arc Rubjcet, democratic na
tions as well as all others, whatever
taste they may have for peace,’ And I
might accumulate quotations to an ex
t< nt to produce satiety on the propo
sition that a wise nation will In peace
prepare for war. Yet we have those
possessed of more timidity than wls-•
dom, and others with more wisdom,
but with political ambitions leading
to attempted deception, who cry out.
'Beware of militarism,’ and fenr a
standing army. In this republic where
military service is voluntary, not com
pulsory, what is the number that would
make a standing army bti flic lent to af
fright even a timid soul and make It
fear for the liberties oi the people and
bewail the coming of militarism?
Would one soldier to the thousand pop
ulation tie dangerous? Yet that would
mean 75,000 to 80.000 of a regular ar
my. Would one man in every square
mile cf continental area he a thing to
fear? Yet that would mean an army
of 3,002,884, and one to each live square
miles would he 720,570 men, about
eight times our present army, regular
and volunteer.
"I have prepared three tallies enow
'ng the population and area of the great
nations, the number «<f their armies lr»
peace and a comparative statement,
with the United Staten. of the soldiers
to tlie 1,000 of population, also fho
square mile of area, and the war bud
get of each v hen at peace. These ta
llies furnish much food for thought
and contain figures of fact that annihi
late the figures of speech of those who
would ‘make cowards of us all.’
Co mi punitive Ministry Htrengtli.
“Taking the armies of Europe at a
period in 1899, when all European na
tions were at peace, and it will lie
seen that France, with 540,000 men,
had 14 soldiers to each 1,000 of peo
ple and 2.ti soldiers to each square mile;
Germany, 590,000 soldiers, being 11.3
to eaeh 1,000 and 2.7 to ea< h square
mile; Russia, 896,000, being 0.9 to
every 1,000, and. on account of its en
ormous area (Including Siberia;, 9.6
square miles to eaeh soldier; Great
liritain, 258,000, being 6,8 to the 1,000
and 2.1 to each square mile.
Now, let us compare the United
States under existing conditions, ail of
tlie countries named being on a pears
basis and the republic at war. Our
population in 1890 was 62.000,000. I es
timate it now at 75.0o0.ou0, a conserva
tive estimate. The regular army is.
under existing law, 65,000, which is .86
of a soldier to each 1.000 of people. Ad
ding the volunteer force now in the
field, and we have 1.33 soldiers to each
1.000, as compared with 9.7. whieh is
the average of all continental
European nations, and 13.2 whieh is
the proportion in Great liritain at the
present. And yet this absurdly small
fraction of an arm'd man is dc lured
by the cowardly cavillers and deceiving
demagogues to be a threat at the lib
erty of the people. In France there are
2.6 and in Germany 2.7 soldiers to each
square mile of territory, while in the
United States there is one regular to
eaeh 55 square miles of American soil,
and, when the volunteers tire added,
one man to each thirty-six square
miles. Truly this solitary soldier
would have on active time of it lord
ing it over such a broad domain. He
would be ever on duty and to accom
plish anything his reveille would have
to continue until after bed taps and
taps never be sounded.
No! The nation that uaw the mil
lions of nrmed men. whose love of
country and devotion to duty saved
the life of the republic from the dread
ful struggle of thirty-five years ago,
disappear as the morning mists that
hang around Crow's Nest dissipate
under the warming rays of the rking
sun, to assume again the part of the
civilian and take tip the duties o’ com
mercial and busim life, need have no
fiar of evil to come from its citizen
soldiery.
