erb* XXV: 9.
(Copyright, 1901, Louis Klopsoh, N. T.)
Washington, July 28—A practical
question which is asked in most
houses, and for many years, is here
astoed by Dr. Talmage and answered;
text, Proverbs xxv, 9, "Discover not a
sauret to another."
It appears that in Solomon-* time,
as in all subsequent periods of the
world, there were people too much dis
posed to tell all they knew. It was
blab, blab, blab; physicians revealing
the ease of their patients, lawyers ex
posing the private affairs of their cli
ents. neighbors advertising the faults
of the next door resident, pretended
friends betraying confidences.
f(>ne-half of the trouble of every com
munity comes from the fact that so
many people have not the capacity to
keep their mouths shut. When 1 hear
something disparaging of you, my first
duty Is not to tell you. hut if I tell you
what somebody has said against you
and then go out and tell everybody
else what I told you, and they go out
and tell others what I told them that
I told you, and we all go out, some to
hunt up the originator of the story
and others to hunt it down, we shall
get the whole community talking
about what you did not do, and there
will be as many scalps taken as though
a band of Modocs had swept upon a
helpless village. We have two ears,
bat only one tongue, a physiological
suggestion that we ought to hear a
good deal more' than w* tell. Let us
Join a conspiracy that we will tell each
other all the good and nothing of the
111, and then there will not be such
awful need of sermons on Solomon’s
words, ‘'Discover not a secret to an
other."
Solomon had a very large domestic
circle. In his earlier days he had very
confused notions about, monogamy and
polygamy, and his multitudinous asso
ciates in the matrimonial state kept
him too well informed as to what was
going on in Jerusalem. They gathered
up all the privacies and poured them
into his ear, and his family became a
sorosls or female debating society of
700, discussing day after day all the
difficulties between husbands and
’’Wives, between employers and em
ployes, between rulers and subjects,
until Solomon, in my text, deplores
volubility about affairs that do not
belong to us and extols the virtue Of
•secretiveness.
Outbranahlng* or Sympathy.
You sometimes see a man with no
■vmtbranchings of sympathy. His na
ture is cold and ' hard, like a ship’s
mast ice glared, Which the most agile
sailor could never climb. Others have
a thousand roots and a thousand
branches. Innumerable tendrils climb
their hearts and blossom all the way
up, and the fowls Of heaven sing in the
branches. In consequence of this ten
dency we find men coming together In
tribes, in communities, in churches, in
societies. Some gather together to cul
tivate the arts, some to plan for the
welfare of the state, some to discuss
religious themes, some to kindle their
mirth, some to advance their craft.
So every active community is divided
into associations of artists, of mer
•rhants, of bookbinders, of carpenters.
( Of masons, of plasterers, of shlp
i| weights. of plumbers. Do you cry out
, against it? Then you cry out against
a tendency divinely implanted. Your
tlTaftes would accomplish no more than
if you Should preach to a busy ant
hill a tong svnutm against secret so
dettea.
Here -we Turn• the--oft dismissed ques
tion whether associations that da their
work with chined doors and admit their
members 'by -passwords and greet <e*oh
other with a secret grip are rigip or
wrong. I answer that it depends •en
tirely on tbe nature of the object for
which they meet. is it to pass the
hours in rettery, wassail, blasphemy
and obscene taJk or *to plot trouble w
the state or to debauch the innocent,
then I say. with an emphasis that ns,
• man can mistake. No! Rut Is the
• object the defense of the rights of any
class against oppression, the improve
ment of the mind, the enlargement of
•tne heart, the advancement.of art, the
•defense of the government -the extlr
p«tion of crime or the kindling of a
pu*c hearted sociality, then ay, with
Jum as much emphasis. Tew!
Secret SorleUea.
Tlierc are secret societies hi aiur col
leges *;hat have letters of the Ow.ek al
phalwy rfor their nomenclature, and
their members are at the very frent in
scholarship and irreproachable in «or
als, whifc* there are others the scene
of carousal, and they gamble, and they
drink, ami they graduate knowing a
hundred titties mo: e about sin than
they do of geometry and Sophocles.
In other word;, fceeret societies, like
individuals, are good or bad, are the
means of moral health or of temporal
and eternal damnation. All good peo
ple recognize the vice of slandering an
Individual, hut many do not see the sin
of slandering an organization. There
are old secret societies in this and
other countries, some of them cen
turies old, which have been widely de
nounced as immoral and damaging in
their Influence, yet I have hundreds
of personal friends who belong to them
•—friends who are consecrated to God,
pillars in the church, faithful in all re
lations of life, examples of virtue and
piety. They are the kind of friends
whom I would have for my executors
at the time of decease, and they are
the men whom I would have carry me
out to the last sleep when I am dead
You cannot make me lselieve that they
would belong to bad institutions. They
are the men who would stamp on any
thing Iniqnitoaa. and 1 would certain
ly ratheT lake their testimony in re
gard to such societies than the testi
mony of those who. having been sworn
in as members, by their assault upon
them confess themselves perjurers.
One of these secret societies gave
for the relief of the sick In 1873 in this
country, $1,490,274. Some of these so
cieties have poured a very heaven of
sunshine and benediction into the
home of suffering. Several of them
are founded on fidelity to good cltieen
ship and the Bible. I have never tak
en one of their degrees. They might
give me the grip a.thousand times and
I would not recognize .it. 1 am ignor
ant of their passwords, and 1 must
Judge entirely from the outside. But
Christ has given us a rule by which we
may judge not only all individuals, but
all societies, secret and open. "By
their fruits ye shall know them.” Bad
societies make bad mi>n. Good socie
ties make good men. A bad man will
not stay in a good society. A good
man will not stay in a bad society.
Then try all secret societies by two
or three rules.
Influence on Home l ie.
Test the first: Their influence on
home, if yon have a home. That wife
soon loses her influence over her hus
band who nervously and foolishly
looks upon all evening absence as an
assault on domesticity. How are the
great enterprises of reform and art
and literature and beneficence and
public weal to be carried on if every
man is to have his world bounded on
' one side by his front doorstep and on
the other side by his back window,
knowing nothing higher than his own
attic or lower than his own cellar?
That wife who becomes jealous of her
husband's attention to art or literuture
or religion or charity is breaking her
■ own scepter of conjugal power. I
know an instance where a wife
thought that her husband was giving
too many nights to Christian service,
to charitable service, to prayer meet
ings and to religious convocation. She
systematically decoyed him away until
now he attends no church, waits upon
no charitable institution and is on a
rapid way to destruction, his morals
gone, his money gone and, I fear, his
• soul gone.
Let any Christian wife rejoice when
her husband consecrates evenings to
the service of humanity and of God
i or anything elevating, but let no man
sacrifice home life to secret society
life, as many do. 1 can point out to you
; a great many names of men who are
: guilty of this sacrilege. They are as
i genial as angels at the society room
and as ugly as sin at home. They are
i genereous on all subjects of wine sup
pers, yachts and fast horses, but they
are stingy about the wives’ dresses
and the children's shoes. That man
has made that which might be a
1 healthful influence a usurper of his af
fection and he has married it, and he
is guilty of moral bigamy. Under this
process his wife, whatever her fea
f tures, becomes uninteresting and
homely. He becomes • critical of her,
i does not like the dress, does not like
i the way she arranges her hair, is
i amazed that he ever was so unroraan
■ tic as to offer her hand and heart.
There are secret societies wnere mem
; bership always involves domestic Ship
k wreck. Tell me that a man has joined
• a certain kind and tell me nothing
] more about him for ten years, and I
I will write his history Jf ne be still
alive. The man is a wine guzzler, his
wife broken hearted or prematurely
i old, his fortune gone and his home.a
j mere name in the directory.
Evili of Bad Ai*or-4at«onft.
The doctor coming in will at on
! glance see it is not only present, dis
ease he must fight, but years of:fast
1 living. The clergyman, for the sake
| Of the feelings of the family on tbe
I funeral day will only talk hi religous
j generalities. The men who got his
j yacht in the eternal rapids will not be
j at the obsequies. They have pressing
( engagements that day. They'Will send
flowers to the coffin, will send their
wives to utter words wf sympathy, but
they will have »utgagenMurt8 else
where. They never amae. bring me
mallet and chisel, andl 1 Will cut that
mail's epitaph, ‘Blessed are the dead
Who die in the Lord?* "No,” 'you -say
j ‘•Chat would not be appropriate.’ "Let
me die the death of the righteous, and
'hn. tuiy’last end be like hi*W “No.” you
nay. “that would not be appropriate.”
Then give-me the mallet and the chisel
and 1 wtllrcut an honest epitaph, “'Here
lies the; vietlm of dissipating assocfa
j tionsr
Another test by which you can And
whether your secret society is right or
, wrong Is the effect it has on your secu
lar occupation. I can understand how
through such an institution a man can
] reach commercial success. I know
some men have formed their best busl
I ness relations through such a channel.
If the secret society lias advantaged
you in an honorable ealling.it is a good
! one, but has your credit failed? Are
bargain makers now more anxious
how they trust you with a bale of
goods? Have the men whose names
were down in the commercial agency
A1 before they entered the society
been going down since in commercial
standing? Then look out. You and I
every day know of commercial estab
lishments going to ruin through the
social excesses of one or two members,
their fortune beaten to death with
ball players' bat or cut amidships with
I tbe front prow of the regatta or going
down under the swift hoofs of the fasc
, horses or drowned in the large pota
i tloiis of cognac or Monongabela. That
secret society was the Loch Earn.
Their business was the Vilie de Havre.
They struck, and the Vilie de Havre
went under!
In th« Ldit ffotim.
Which would you rather have in
your hand when you come to die, a
pack of cards or a Bible? Which would
you rather have pressed to your lips
in the closing moment, the cup of Bel
shazzarean wassail or the chalice of
Christian communion? Whom would
you rather have for your pallbearers,
the elders of a Christian church or the
companions whose conversation was
full of slang and innuendo? Whom
would you rather have for your eter
nal companions, those men who spend
their evenings betting, gambling,
swearing, carousing and telling vile
stories or yonr little child, that bright
girl whom the Lord took? Oh, you
would not have been away so many
nights, would you. if you had known
she was going away so soon? Dear
me, your house has never been the
same place since. Tour wife has never
brightened up. She has never got over
it. She never will get over it. How
long the evenings are with no one to
put to bed and no one to whom to tell
the beautiful Bib'e stories! What a
pity it is that you cannot spend more
evenings at home in trying to help her
bear that sorrow! You can never
drown that grief in the wine cup. You
can never break away from the little
arms that used to be thing around
your neck when she used to say,
"Papa, do stay with me tonight, do
stay with me tonight!" You will never
be able to wipe away from your lips
the dying kiss of your little girl. The
fascination of a bad secret society is so
great that sometimes a man has turned
his back on his home when his child
was dying of scarlet fever. He went
away. Before he got back at midnight
the eyes had been c’osed, the under
taker had done his work, and the wife,
worn out with three weeks' watching,
lay unconscious in the next room.
Then the returned father comes up
stairs, and sees the cradle gone, and he
says, “What is the matter?” On the
judgment day he will find out what
was the matter.
un. man astray, God lielp you: T
am going to make a very stout rope.
You know that sometimes a ropemaker
will take very small threads and wind
them together until after awhile they
become a ship cable. And I am going
to take some very small delicate
threads and wind them together un
til they make a very stout rope. I
will take all the memories of the mar
riage day—a thread of laughter, a
thread of light, a thread of music, a
thread of banqueting, a thread of con
gratulation—and I twist them together,
and I have one strand. Then T take a
thread of the hour of the first advent
in your house, a thread of the dark
ness that preceded, and a thread or the
beautiful scarf that little child used to
wear when she bounded out at even
tide to greet you, and a thread of the
beautiful dress in which you laid her
away for the resurrection, and then I
twist all these threads together, and I
have another strand. Then I take a
thread of the scarlet robe of a suffer
ing Christ, and a thread of the white
raiment of your loved ones before the
throne, and a string of the harp cheru
bic, and a string of the harp seraphic,
and I twist, them all together, and I
have a third strand, "Oh," you say,
"either strand is enough to hold fast
a world!” No, I will take these
strands and I will twist them together,
and one end of that rope I will fasten,
net to the communion table, for It
shall he removed; not to a pillar of the
organ, for that will crumble in the
ages; but I wind it round and round
the cross of a sympathizing Christ,
and, having fastened one end of the
rope to the cross. I throw the other
end to you. Lay hold of it! Pull for
your life! Pull for heaven!
ONE 3HADE OR TWO.
Wliy *m Some Thing* Gray and 'Other*
Grey V
Is‘there a difference between "grey”
and “gray,” aside from the matter of
spelling? American lexicographers
say there is not. but the Academy tells
us that we must be careful if we would
■give each its "special application.”
And it adds very learnedly: “Who
.does not feel that some things are grey
and others gray?" If anybody does
not feel that way let him not be
ashamed to speak up. I)r. Murray, the
editor,of the greut new dictionary that
is now only partly published, went
about In 1893 making an inquiry as to
usage iund found that opinions In Lon
don varied. The replies to his ques
tions showed that In Great Britain the
form grey is the more frequent in use,
despite tiie authority of Dr. Johnson
and later lexicographers, who give the
preference to gray. Many correspon
dents said they had used the two forms
with a difference of meaning or appli
cation. the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes a
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Other* considered the difference to be
that gray is a warmer color, or that it
has a mixture of red or brown. The
Academy's own opinion is that gray
hag more of sentiment, grey more of
color, which means that gray is a sug
gestion rather than a positive outline.
After all this learned discussion peo
ple will go on pronouncing the word
without reference to its vowel, and in
saying that the shade is gray they will
i let any one with a fancy for the dis
pute spell it to suit himself. These
i fne distinctions may be ignored on the
, plea of the brevity of life.—Youth's

(.olden Text: I Am Thy Shield nnd Thy
Exceeding Great Howard—Geo. 1ft: l
God'a Promise lo Abraham—Symbol*
of the Covenant.
Time.—The date In the margin of our
Bibles Is "about 1913.” live or six years
after our last lesson. Place.—Hebron. 20
miles south of Jerusalem. This was Ab
raham’s home for a good many years.
His place was at Main re (nom Ram«-h),
’n the environs of the city, two miles to
.toe north (Tomkins). Here he and Sarah
were burled. Abraham's tent was among
the Oaks of Mamre, a part of Hebron.
Abraham.—Eighty-four years old. and
still childless, though otherwise rich and
prosperous.
I. A Time of Discouragement.—The fact
that Immediately after this battle there
.’time another vision from God leads us to
think that probably the father of the
faithful may have fallen Into a state of
discouragement. Almost all men of great
faith and of stirring deeds have had their
seasons of discouragement and depres
sion. Moses (Nurn. 11:10-15.) The Psalmist
(Psa. 10:1.) Elijah, after his mighty deed
on Carmel, lay down under the "juniper”
tree, and wished to die. John the Bap
tist, In the dungeon of Macherus after his
gnat labors and courageous deeds, sent
:o Jesus to know if he. whom he hnd
pointed out as the Lamb of God, was
really the Messiah. Almost every worker
for God has at some time been with Bun
van's Christian and Hopeful in Doubting
Castle of Giant Despair, and. like Hope
ful, forgot that he had the key of deliv
erance In his bosom.
II. The General, All-Inclusive Promise.
—V. 1. After Abraham's return from his
victory lri rescuing Lot, the Lord gave
him one <>f the best and greatest prom
isos ever bestowed upon man.
"I AM THY SHIELD. AND THY EX
CEEDING GREAT REWARD"
HI. Symbols of the Covenant.—Vs. E-1S.
In view of the vision and the former
promises, Abraham asks the Lord how
the promise could be fulfilled, since he
was childless. For answer the Lord leads
him forth Into the open air of the night,
und shows him a sign
S. "And he brought him forth abroad."
Out of his tent, so that he could see
the stars, showing that this vision was
no dream, but a real message from God.
"Look now toward heaven, and tell the
stars, if thou hi' able to number them."
In the promise to Noah, the rainbow
was made a sign, appearing occasionally,
but at the very times when fears for the
fulfilment of the promise w'oulcl naturally
arise. To Abraham God gives u brighter
sign, that every night would speak to
him of God's faithfulness.
1. These bright worlds were created and
are held in their plates by divine power.
So great is the God who would defend
Abraham, able and willing to keep his
promise.
2. The stars never failed. Each night,
they appeared in their places, and moved
unvaryingly In their courses. God’s
faithfulness In nature was the assurance
of his faithfulness to his word given to
Abraham.
3. The stars in that climate are brighter
than In ours. Professor Hall says that
he has known Venus to shine so bright as
to cast a shadow. Brighter than the
stars, steadier than their flames, shall
be the fulfilment of God's promises.
4. There are Infinitely more stars In
heaven than Abraham could see. God's
promises are ever better In their fulfil
ment than It Is possible for us to con
ceive.
Illustration.—Prof. Camille Flamarlon
•ays f1VfM> that five or si* thousand stars
can be seen by the average naked eye;
eight thousand by the best eyes; one
hundred millions by the best telescopes
which reveal stars of the fifteenth magni
tude. "But celestial photography pene
trates further still, and tho numbers be
come so enormous that we are over
whelmed by their weight without under
standing them.” “On a photograph of
tho great globular cluster Omega Cen
taurii recently taken in Peru, a count of
the stars was carefully made. If the
whole sky were .as thickly studded with
stars as this cluster (which it is noth the
total number visible in the whole heavers
would be about sixteen hundred and fifty
billions.
IV. The Covenant Agreement.—See
Gen. 12:2, 3, 7; 13:11-17, 15:4-6, 16; 17:4-8;
22:15-18.
1. Abraham should have a child and de
scendants, who should become a great
nation.
2. These descendants should be as In
numerable as the sands and the stars.
3. They should possess the land of Pal
estine.
4. lie would be their God, and they his
people. He would bless them, protect
them, train them as a father trains hU
child ren.
E. He would make them a blessing to
till nations, through all ages.
Note tit tltc gradual unfolding of these
promises. They grew larger as Abraham
grew In faith and character.
Note (2) they were not selfish prom
ises. They began In Abraham, but
reached over the world.
Note (3) that there was to be a long
period of training before they could tie
completely fulfilled. All efforts to make
the world better suddenly like a flash of
lightning are necessarily failures, from
the nature of man.
Note <4-) that God made everything a re
minder of the covenant. Ills name, his
person, the land, the dust, the sand, the
stars, his flocks, his altars—everyone
spoke to him of his covenant with God.
V. Practical Lessons and Illustrations.
—1. God comes to us In our dark times,
the times of trial and sickness and loss
and danger. These with God In them are
a training in faith and character. How
sweet the sunshine after the storm, and
the assurance that he Is always shining
on tbs other side even during the dark
ness and storm! Character grows by
God s encouragements In the trials of our
faith, by earnest believing, by confirma
tions of faith, by religious observances,
by the everlasting covenant with God.
Nearing the Golden Age.
Isaac Ogden Rankin says: “There
was never a better time to live, a clear
er hope, u larger field of witness. Se
renity of faith, activity of work, joy
of expectation, looking for the perfect
reign of love, crown the new century's
life. God is with us In our toil and
rest. This is the golden opportunity,
and in using it we hasten on the golden
age.”

Lord Roberts is a fearless rider and
usually well in at the death in a fox
hunt, but his eminence as a hunting
man depends on his splendid eye for
country and his unrivaled knowledge
of horse tlesh and not on mere dare
deviltry. Lord Roberts has had his
share of "croppers,” but, thanks to his
light, steel-built frame, he has never
come to any serious harm in the hunt
ing field.
Six Doctor* Till* Time.
South Bend, Ind., July 29th:—Six
different doctors treated Mr. J. O. I-an
deman, of this place for Kidney Trou
ble. He had been very 111 for three
years, and he despaired of ever being
well.
Somebody suggested Dodd’s Kidney
Pills. Mr. Landeman used two boxes.
He is completely cured, and besides
losing all his Kidney Trouble, his gen
eral health is much better than It has
been for years.
No case that has occurred in St.
Joseph County for half a century, has
created such a profound sensation, and
Dodd's Kidney Pills are being well
advertised, as a result of their won
derful cure of Mr. Landemau’s case.
