TALM AGE’S SERMON, TELLS HOW TO CROW YOUNG - IN SPIRIT. Renewing Youth Like the I'ajle—Th, Way fo Conquer the Effect of Ad vancing Years—Simple Habits Lead to Longevity. (Copyright. 1301. by Louis Kiopach.) Washington, Feb. 17.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage shows how anyone can conquer the effect of years and grow younger in spirit; text, I’salms ciii, 5, “So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." There flies out from my text the most majestic of all the feathered creation— an eagle. Other birds have more beauty of plume and more sweetness of voice, but none of them has such power of beak, such clutch of claw, such expansion of wing, such height of soaring, such wideness of dominion. Its appetite rejects the carrion that in vites the vulture and in most cases its food is fresh and clean leveling its nerk for flight, in spiral curve It swings Itself toward the noonday sun. It haH been known to live 100 years. What concentration of all that is su blime in the golden eagle, the crested eagle, the imperial eagle, the martial eagle, the booted eagle, the Jean de ill,me eagle' But after a while in its life cornea the molting process, and it looks ragged and worn ami unattract ive and feels like moping in its nest on the high crags. But weeks g j by, and the old feathers are gone and new or nithological attire is put on. and its beak, which was overgrown, has the surplus of hone beaten off against the rocks, and it gets hack its old capacity for food, and again it mounts the heav ens in unchallenged and boundless kingdoms of air and light. David, the author of the text, had watched these monarchs of the sky and knew their habits and one day. exulting in his own physical and spiritual rejuvenes cence, he says to his own soul; “You are getting younger all the time.Y'ou make me think of an eagle which I saw yesterday, just after Its molting season, swinging through the valley of Jebosaphat, and then circling around the lioad of Mount Olivet. Oh, my soul, ‘thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.’ " Hlmpte Habit* and Longevity. Many might turn the years backward and get younger by changing their physical habits. The simpler life one leads the longer he lives. Thomas Parr of Shropshire, England, was a plain man and worked on a farm for a livelihood. At 120 years of age he was at his daily toll. He had lived under nine kings of England. When 152 years of age, he was heard of in London. The king desired to see him and ordered him to the palace, where he was so richly and royally treated that it destroyed his health, and he died at 152 years aud 9 mouths of age. When Dr. Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, made post mortem examination of Thomas Parr, he declared there were no signs of senile decay in the body. That man must have renewed his youth, like the eagle, again and again. All occupations and professions have afforded illustrations of rejuvenes cence. Hippocrates, the father of med icine, lived 109 years, and among those eminent in the medical profession who became septuagenarians and octogena rians and nonagenarians were Darwin, (Sail, Boerhaave, Jenner and Rtiysch, observing themselves the laws of health that they taught their patients. In art and literature and science among those who lived into the eigh ties were Plato and Franklin and Car lyle and Goethe and Button and Hal ley. Sophocles reached the nineties. * * * Illblleal Span of I.tfe. Some one writes me, “Is not three score and ten the bound of human life, according to the Bible?" My reply is that Moses, not David, who wrote that psalm, was giving a statistic of his own day. Through better understand ing of the laws of health and advance ment of medical science the statistics of longevity have mightily changed since the time of Moses, and the day is coming when a nonagenarian will no longer be a wonder. Phlebotomy shortened the life of whole genera tions, and the lancet that bled for ev erything is now rarely taken from the doctor’s pocket. Dentistry has given power of healthy mastication to the human race and thus added greatly to the prolongation of life. Electric lights have improved human sight, which used to be strained by the dim tallow candle. The dire diseases which under other names did their fatal work and were considered almost incurable, now in majority of cases are conquered. Vaccination, which has saved millions of lives and balked thegreatestscourge of nations, and surgery, which has ad vanced more than any. other science, have done more than can be told for the prolongation of human life. The X-ray has turned the human body, which was opaque, into a lighted cas tle. It is easier in this age to renew one’s youth than in any other age. When Paul stopped the jailer from suicide by commanding: "Do thyself no harm,” he showed himself inter ested in the physical as well as moral life of man. Among the blessings which God promised was that in which ho said: “With long life will I satisfy thee,” and David, in my text, illus trates tho possibility of palingenesis or rejuvenescence. » • • The Omniscient King. I do not advise you to be indifferent to these great questions that pertain to church and state ami nations, but not to fret about them. Realize that It is not an anarchy that lias charge of affairs in this world, but a divine government. At the head of this uni verse is a King whose eye is omnis cience and whose arm is omnipotence, and whose heart is infinite love. His government is not going to be a fail ure. He cannot be defeated. Better trust him in the management of his world and of all worlds. All you and I have to do is to accomplish the work that is put in our hands. This is all we have to be responsible for. In a well-managed orchestra the players upon stringed and wind instruments do not watch each other. The cornet I ist does net look to see how the violin j ist is drawing his bow over the strings, f nor does the (lute scrutinize the drum. They all watch the baton of the leader. And we are all carrying our part, how ever insignificant it may be, in the ] great harmony of this world and of the universe which our Lord is leading, and we all have to watch his command , and do our best and not bother our | selves about the success or failure of other performers. If you want to re new your youth, better stop managing | the affairs of the universe. Help for the W*»lf». It will take ail time and all eternity to fully appreciate the work of Van i Meter on this side of the sea and of I Harnardo on the other side in putting poor orphan children in good homes in America and England. Through that process waifs of the streets have passed up from poverty and wretched ness into bright homes and churches j and pulpits and legislative halls and j senates, and many have already leen crowned in a better world, the work begun in asylums on earth completed in the palaces of heaven. Whether by such adoption of chil dren or in some other way, call around you the young. Become their asso 1 elates, their confidants, their encour ' agement. While you do them good they will do you good. The old eagle while companioning in the nest with young eagles will feel new strength coming into its wings, new light into its eye, new ambition to cut a circle nearer the sun, and for the time will forget hurricanes that have ruffled its plumes and the storms of many years that have swept over Its mountain eyrie. The closing years of life ought to be the best part of it, as an arrival in port ought to be happier than em barkation: It is better to have the cyclones behind you than before you. Some one will say: “David might re new his youth, but I have been through so much there is no such thing for me as revivification.” You are wrong. You have not gone through as much | as David went through. He had all the experiences of a shepherd boy, ar mor bearer, king’s bodyguard, hunter of wild beasts, warrior and monarch. He was forty years on a rocking throne. He was the oriental hero in ; : many a battle, made moral mistakes ! enough to destroy him, prostrated a j ; giant with one stroke, was the father ; of Hebrew poetry and wrote poems | which all the subsequent centuries | have been chanting, dramatized cle- I ■ mentia to escape assassination, ran j ! against Ahithophel's betrayal and Saul’s Jealousy and Absalom’s insur rection, and made Jerusalem the re ligious capital of the world. If after all that he could renew his youth you ought to be able to do the same. • * • State of ilteriml Youth. My text suggests that heaven is an ; eternal youth. A cycle of years will not leave any mark upon the immortal ! nature. Eternity will not work upon j the soul in heaven any change, unless it be more radiance and more wisdom and more rapture. A rolling on from \ glory to glory! In anticipation of that i some of the happiest people on earth are aged Christians. The mighiest j testimonies have been given by the ; veterans in the gospel army. While ' some of the aged have allowed them- | selves to become morose and cynical : and Impatient with youth and pessi | mistic about the world and have be ' come possessed with the spirit of scold and fault finding and are fearful of being crowded out of their sphere i many of the aged have been glad to step aside that others may have a chance and are hopeful about the world, expecting its redemption in stead of its demolition, and they are inspiration and comfort and helpful ness to the household and to the neigh borhood and to the church. The chil dren hail the good old man as he comes down the road. His smile, his words, his manner, his whole life, make the world think better of re ligion. Noah Webster, the greatest of lex icographers, departing this life at 85 years of age, exclaimed: “I know whom 1 have believed and am per suaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.” The venerable Daniel Webster, the greatest of Amer ican lawyers and statesmen. In his last hours said: “I had intended to pre pare a work for the press to bear my testimony to Christianity, but it is now too late. Still I would like to bear witness to the gospel before I die.” Being too weak to hold a pen, he dic tated to a scribe his words of triumph ant faith. <*oo<l Cli»*«r Await* Christian*. Gibbons in his history says that Mo hammed had a dream in which he thought that, mounted on the horse Borak, he ascended the seven heavens and approached within two bow shots of the throne and felt a cold that pierced him to the heart when his shoulder was touched by the hand of God. That might do for Mohammed's heaven, but not for a Christian’s heav en. No cold hand put upon your shoul der there; no cold hand of repulse or doubt, but the warm hand of welcome, the warm hand of saintly communion, the warm hand of God. I congratulate all Christians who are in the eventide. Good cheer to all of you. Your best days are yet to come. You are yet to hear the best songs, see the grandest sights, take the most de lightful Journeys, form the most elevat ing friendships, and after ten thou sand years of transport you will be no nearer the last rapture than when you were thrilled with the first. IMmsorea of If raven. In heaven you will have what most pleases you. Archbishop Leighton’s desire for heaven was a longing for Christ and purity and love, and he has found there what he wanted. John Foster rejoiced at the thought of heav en because there he could study the secrets of the universe without re straint, and he has been regaling him self in that research. Southey thought of heaven as a place where he would meet with the learned and the great— Chaucer and Dante and Shakespeare. He no doubt has found that style of communion. The great and good Dr. Dick was fond of mathematics, and he said he thought much of the time in heaven would be given to that study, and I have no doubt that since ascen sion he has made advancement in that science. The "twelve manner of fruits" spoken of in Revelation means all kinds of enjoyment in heaven, for twelve manner of fruits includes all the chief fruits that are grown on trees. I suppose there will be as many kinds of enjoyment in heaven as there will be inhabitants. You will have in heaven just what you want. Are you tired? Then heaven will be rest. Are you passion ately fond of sweet sounds? Then it will be music. Are you stirred by pic tures? There will be all the colors of the new heavens and on the jasper sea and the walls imbedded with what splendors! Are you fond of great architecture? There you will find the temple of Cod and the I.amb and the uplifted thrones. Are you longing to get back to your loved ones who have, ascended? Then it will be reunion. Are you a homebody? Then it will be home. Here and there in this world you will find some one who now lives where he was born, and three or four generations have dwelt in the same house, but most people have had several homes—the home of childhood, the home they built or rented for their early manhood, the home of riper and more prosperous years. But all homes put together, precious as they are in remembrance or from present occu pancy, cannot equal the heavenly home in the house of many mansions. No sickness will ever come there, for it is promised “there shall be no more pain.” No parting at the front door, no last look at faces never to be seen again, but home with God, home with each other, home forever. And that right after the molting season, when “thy youth is renewed like the ea gle's.” Wings to hover free O'er dawn empurpled sea; Wings bove life to soar And beyond death forevermore. IN EVENT OF WAR. FxigonclrH That Might Arise if England and France Should Fight. In the event of war between Great Britain and France the first and most important part of the struggle would be for the command of the sea, says the Nineteenth Century. Should Great Britain succeed in retaining the com mand of the sea France would thereby be reduced to a condition of impotence so far as offensive operations are con cerned and would sooner or later be obliged to submit to the will of her rival, although it is true the war might last for a long time, if, on the other nand, France should succeed in wrest ing from Great Britain the command of the sea and in keeping it Great Britain would be much more helpless and impotent than France in similar plight would be that the war would terminate quickly. In a word, France, even without the command of the sea or anything approaching to it, remains capable of prolonged resistance, firstly, because she is a self-supporting coun try; secondly, because the French na tional sentiment and strength are al ready concentrated within her borders and, thirdly, because she stands among the best equipped of the military pow ers, while Great Britain, deprived of the command of the sea, would collapse with relative rapidity, firstly, because she is in no sense a self-supporting country; secondly, because her na tional sentiment and strength are scat tered over the world and cannot be concentrated save by way of the sea, and. thirdly, because she is not a mili tary power, according to the standard set up by Germany, France, Russia and Austria-Hungary. Heroic- Work by a Tramp. By the heroic act of a tramp two residents of Jefferson were saved rrom drowning in Rock river. Frank Wil liamson and his little daughter were crossing the river when the ice sudden ly gave way, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. A tramp who was walking on the railroad track a few hundred reel from where the accident took place pulled off his coat and plunged into the water after the struggling pair, who were fast losing consciousness, the heroic tramp was clad in overal’s and a thin shirt when he made the plunge. He succeeded in holding the man and girl above water until boats were brought. John Buchta, who was elosn to the scene at the time, also worked energetically, and wan drawn into the water by the struggling trio. After hard work on (he part of the rescuers all were saved. A subscription was taken up for tho tramp, and a complete outfit of clothing was purchased Tor him.

Qoldau Text—“The Son of Man I* He frayed Into tho Hand* of Slnncra” — Matt. 26: 45—The l!etrayul of the Savior of the World. I Sum of Lesson—Jesus sought to estab lish a perfect form of goverment on earth, one In which all would be euual with no very rich and no poor. This the very rich did not relish and various conspiracies were resorted to with a view of getting rid of the Savior. The conspirators dared not do It In the name of wealth alone, so they sought the cloak of the Jewish church (then corrupted by wealth) and the nation (also corrupted by the money kings) and they began to collect evidence against Him with a view of convicting Him of treason against church and state, an offense for which His life would be the penalty. Modern Application—There are many men in our midst who are striving for better conditions among men and who would establish Christ's kingdom on earth, but they are condemned by the rich and often even spurned by the church. But Christ's kingdom is coming just os sure r.s dawn follows darkness. Traitors like Judas there will be In plenty, but not for '.hem will be the victory. The full text of tlie lesson for the day Is as follows: 1. When Jesus had spoken these words He went forth with His disciples over the brook, where was a garden, into the which He entered, himself and His disci ples. 2. Judas also, which betrayed Him. knew the place, for Jesus resorted thither with His disciples. 3. Judas then, having received the band of men ami officers from ihe chief priests and Pharisees, eometh thither with lan terns and torches and weapons. 4. Jesus therefore, knowing all the tilings tliut should come upon Him. went forth, and said unto them. Whom seek ye? They answered Him, Jesus of Naza reth. Jesus saith unto them. I am He. And Judas. whlcl|p bet rayed Him, stood with them. f>. As soon then ns He had said unto tin in, I am He. they went backward, and fell to the ground. T. Then asked He them again. Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Naza reth. s. Jesus answered. I have told you thaf I am He; if. therefore, ye seek me, let these go their way. 9. That the saying might be fulfilled which He spake. Of them which thou gavest Me, have 1 lost none. l't. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's ser vant, and cut off his right ear. The ser vant's name was Malehus. 11. Then said Jesus unto peter. Put up thy sword into the sheath; the cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it? Practical Application--We need not spend any time in answering the oft-re peated question. Why did Jesus select Judas to be an apostle? Let us rather look at the cause of his downfall, ami pray for grace that wc may be kept from following Ills example. Judas, having been approached by enemies of Jesus, began to harbor temptation which led him to betray Master (John 6: 70). The steps of downfall were as follows: What Is the lesson for us? The love o anything-money. dress, pleasure, fame admiration—may so possess one as to leai Into sin. The tirst step downward havini nppn tak^n will ]pa<] to thp second, thin ami fourth, unless repented of The bar tering of Christ and all that Christ stand for. for the thing loved, will , asllv am naturally follow, unless a new love i substituted for the old one. Therefore the only safety for any one is to Jovi Christ supremely. This love will elthe keep us from sinning, or, when we sin draw us back to Him from whom sin al ways separates us. The test alway should be: Will the doing of this ac interfere with my love for Jesus9 if 1 does the performer of that particular ac tlon is standing on dangerous ground am may go down as rapidly and as far a did Judas He only who refuses to d< that which would make him love Jesu less Is on safe ground. the th* his his Story of a I'amou* llymti. Of all the writings of William Cow per. the centenary of whose death has just been celebrated in England, prob ably the hymn, “God moves in a mys terious way, is best known. It is sung ail over the world. How Cow per came to write this hymn forms one of the most remarkable episodes of his eventful life. C’owper had one of his fits of melancholy, and persuaded him self, so his biographers assert, that God wanted him to offer himself as a sacrifice. He decided to carry out this idea, and, hiring a poet chaise, drove to the river Ouse. The night was dark and the coachman by some means or other mistook the way, and instead of arriving at the exact spot where Cow per had intended to drown himself, the poet found himself at liia own door. On entering the house Cowper sat down and composed his most fa mous hymn. I'enn.ylvanla Celerity. A good story was told by James M. Heck, assistant I’nited States attorney general, at the dinner of the Pennsyl vania society in New York. Mr. Heck attempted to refute the theory that the people of Pennsylvania are slow by saying that within one hour after Gov. Beaver was inaugurated a Philadelphia politician applied to him for the posi tion of Janitor of the capitol, relates the Evening Wisconsin. The governor replied that the place had been filled half an hour before. A few days after ward the disappointed officeseeker saw the drowned body of that janitor hauled out of the river. He rushed to the governor and applied again, say ing. I ve Just seen my rival’s corpse pulled from the river.” “Sorry," re plied the governor, "but I have Just given the berth to the man who saw him fall In.” Ignorant nr tItw Itilile.

WOKEN OF THE UNITED STATES REGARD PERUNA AS THEIR SHIELD AGAINST CATARRH, GOUGHS, COLDS, GRIP AND CATARRHAL DISEASES. MRS. BELVA A LOCKWOOD, LATE CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY Mrs, Belva Lockwood, the eminent barrister, of Washington, D. C.. Is the only woman who has ever heon a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. She is the best known woman .n America. As the pioneer of her sex in the legal profession, she has gathered fame and fortune. In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company, she says: "/ have used Peruna both for myself and my mother, Mrs. Hannah J. Ben net, now In her 88th year, and I find it an Invaluable remedy for cold, catarrh, hay fever and kindred diseases; also a good tonic for feeble and old people, or those run down, and with nerves unstrung.”— Belva A. Lockwood. ' I- • Mr». T. Polton. M'.’B. T. Pelton, 562 St. Anthony ave nue. St. Paul, Minn., writes: "Peruna has done wonders for me. It has cured my headache nnd palpita tion of the heart; has built up my whole system. I cheerfully recom mend Peruna to all sufferers afflicted with catarrh. My mother is never without Peruna. When one is tired and generally out of sorts, if Peruna is taken it Immediately removes that tired feeling.” Peruna cures catarrh by removing the cause, inflamed mucous mem branes. Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Pe runa, once said, in a lecture to women: ‘‘A great number of women consult me every year. I often have occasion to say to these patients. ‘I fear you have catarrh, madam.’ They will gen erally reply, 'Oh, no, I never had ca tarrh. My nose is perfectly clear, aud my breath 13 not bad, I am not troubled with coughing or 6pitting, or any o t h er dlsagree a b 1 e symptoms of catarrh.’ But, my dear madam, you may have catarrh all the same. Catarrh is not always located In the head. You may have catarrh of the lungs, or stomach, or liv er, or kidneys, and especially you may have catarrh of the pelvic organs." The doctor Mrs. Julia C. Brown, of Pecatonica, Ills., says: "I huvo used Peruna In my home for the past four years and am thoroughly convinced that It Is a reliable family rem edy."—Julia O. Brown. "v-ui. iu oa/ . ■■ 1 1 —— | *‘I have been preaching this doctrine for the last forty years, but there are a vast multitude of women who have never heard it yet. Catarrh may at tack any organ of the body. Women are especially liable to catarrh of the pelvic organs. There are one hundred cases of catarrh of tne pelvic organs to one of catarrh of the head. Most peo ple think, because they have not ca tarrh of the head, they have not ca tarrh at all. This is a great mistake, and is the cause of many cases of sick ness and death."
