UKAXIN'O OF Till: TKXT.
Mcanwhilo in tho distaneo Sisora's
inothor sits timid surroundings of wealth
nnd pomp and scene, palatial waiting
for his return, livery mother expects
her son to ho victorious, and this inoth
or looked out at the window expecting
to seo him drivo up in his chariot fol
lowed by wagons loaded with embroid
eries and nl.xo by regiments of men van
quished and enslaved. I seo her now
sitting nt tho window, in high expecta
tion. Sho wntehes tho farthest turn of
tho road. Sho looks for tlio Hying du&t
of tho swift hoofs. Tho first flash ot
tho bit of tho horses' bndlo sho will
catch.
Tho ladies of her cmnt ttand round,
nnd sho tells them of what they shall
havo when her son comes up chains of
goldandcarcauotsof beauty and diesei
" 'Such wondrous fabric and splendor'
as mo uiujo oniy miiis at, nut leaves us
to imagine. "Ho ought to bo hero by
this time, " says his mother. "That hat
tlo is surely over. 1 hopo that freshet
of tho river Kishon has not impeded
him. 1 hopo those btraugo appearances
wo saw last night in tho sky wero not
ominous, when thestais seemed to fight
in their coui-.-es. Kn! Xo! lloissobravo
in hattlo 1 know ho has won tho day.
IIo will soon ho here." But alas for the
disappointed mother! Sho will not seo
tho glittering headgear of tho horses at
full gallop bringing her son liumo from
victorious battle. As u solitary mes
senger arriving in hot hasto rides up to
tho window at which tho mother of Sis
ora sits, ho cries, "Your armies aro de
feated, and your son is dead. " There is a
Ecenoof horror nnd anguish from which
wo turn away.
Now you seo tho full meaning of my
short text, "The mother or Sisera look
ed out at n window." Well, my friends,
xvonronllout in tho hattlo of life; it
is rnging now, and tho most of us havo
n mother watching and waiting for news
of our victorv or defeat. If sho bo not
sitting nt tho window of eaith, sho is
Bitting at a window of heaven, nnd sho
is going to hear all about it.
By nil tho rules of war Sisera ought
to havo been triumphant. Ho had uOO
iron chnriots and a host of many thou
sands vaster than tho in mies of Jtiael.
But God was on tho other side, and tho
nngry freshets of Kishon, nnd tho hail,
tho lightning nnd tho unmaiiageablo
warhorses, and tho capsized clmrh.ts
nnd tho stellar panic in tho hky discom
fited Sisern. Jo&ephus in his history
describes tho scene in tho following
words: "When they wero coino to a
closo fight, therocaniodown fiom heav
en n gieat storm with a vast quantity
of rain nnd hail, nnd tho wind blew tho
rain in tho fnco of tho Cauaanites and
so darkened their eyes their arrows and
blings wero of no advantage to them,
nor would tho coldness of the air permit
tho soldiers to liiako use of their swords,
whilo this storm did not so much in
comiuodo tho Israelites bconiuo it cuino
on their hacks. They also took such
couragoupou tlio apprehension that God
was assisting them that they fell upon
tho very midst of their enemies nnd
6lew a great number of them, so that
6omo of them fell by tho Israelites, sonio
fell by thpirown horses which wero put
into disorder, and not a few wero killed
by their own chariots."
Hence, my hearers, tho had nnws
brought to tho mother of Sisera looking
out nt tho window. And our mother,
whether sitting nt n window of earth
or a window of heaven, will henr thu
uows of our victory or de-font -not nc
cording to our talents or educational
equipment or our opportunities, but nc
cotding as to whether God is for us or
against us.

If that question wero put to im-t of
us this morning, wo would havo to s.iy,
if wo spoko truthlully, liko Sin ni's
mother, sho is at tho palaco window.
Sho has become a queen unto God fur

folds of tho king's upholstery to h.k
down at us. Wo aro not told tho par

en.'s mother, but tlicro is in that sci no
in tho book of .lodges so much about

in waiting that wo know her renidenco
must havo been princely and paJatial.
So wo havo mi minuto and particular

yond tho power of pencil or pen or
tonguo to piesent, and in tho window of
that palaco tho mother sits watching
for news lioni tho battle. What a con
trast between that celestial suiiounding
and her onco earthly surroundings!
What a work to bring up a family, in
the old timo way, with but little or no
hired help, except perhaps for the wash
ing day or for tho swino slaughtering,
commonly calhd "tho killing day!"
old r.sinoxi:i mothkus.
Thcro was then no reading of elabo
rate treatises on tlio best modes of rear
ing children, and then leaving it all to
hired help, with ono or two visits a day
to tho nursery to see if tho principles
announced mo being carried out. Tho
most of tho.o old folks (fid tho sowing,
tho washing, tho mending, tho darn

lnnntiin making, tho housekeeping, nnd
in hurried liaivest time helped spread

or round tho hoiifco with whooping
coughs and croups and runrouiid fin

distempers which at eonie timo swoop
upon every largo household. Sonio of
those motheia never got rested in this
world. Instead of tho belt' locking cra

young sluuiberer, it was weary foot on

its bunches of peppermint nnd penny
royal and catnip and mustard and cain
oniilo flowers, which wero expected to
do everything, .lust think of it! Fifty
yenia of prepariug brenkfabt, dinner
and supper. Tho chief music they
he-aid was that of spinning wheel ami
rocking chair. Tugged out, headachy
ami with ankles swollen. Thoso old
fashioned mothers if any persons ever
fitted appropriately into n good, easy,

folks, and they got there, and they aro
rested. They wear no spectacles, lor
they havo their thiid sight as they
lived long enough on eaith to get their
bccoud sight and they do not havo to
pant for breath after going up tlio urn

whoso window they now sit waiting for
news from tho battle.
But if any one keeps on nsking tho
question "Where's mother':" I unswer,
Sho is in your piesent character. Tho
probability is that your physical fea
tures buggest her. If there bo bovcii
children in a household at least six of
them look liko their mother, and tho
older you get tho moro yon will look
liko her. But I speak now especially
of your character and not of youi looks.
This is easily explained. During tho
(list 10 years of your lifo you wero nl
most nil the time .with her, and your
father you saw only niorningB ami
nights. Tliero nro no years in any lifo
bo important (or impression as tho fnt

mado for viituo or vice, ftjr truth or
falsehood, for bravery or cowardice, for
religion or skepticism. (Suddenly start

tlio .v-nnto of tho United States kissed

sho concluded, "Woaio all praying for
you, C'hailie, that you may bo a Chris

Tlio trouble with Sisera 's mother wns
that, while sitting at tho window of my
text watching for news of her son from
tho battlefield, sho had tho two bad
qualities of being dissolute and being
too fond of personal adornment. Tho
Blblo account says: "Herwiso ladies
answered her yea. Sho returned answer
to herself: 'Havo they not sped? Havo
they not divided tho prey to every
man a damsel or two, to Sisera a prey
of divers colois, a prey of divers colors
of needlework, of divers colors of noe
dlcwork on both sides?' " Sho makes
no anxious utterance about tho wound
ed in battle, about tlio bloodshed, about
tho dying, about tho dead, about tho
principles involved in tlio battle going
on, a hattlo so important that tho stars
and tho freshets took part, and tho clash
of swords was answered by tho thunder
of tho skies. What sho thinks most of
is tho bright colois of tho wardrobes to
bo captuied and tho necdlouoik. "To
Sisoia a prey of divers colors, a prey of
divers colois of needlowork. of divers
colors of needlework on both sides."
Now neither Sisera's mother nor nny
ono clso can say too much in eulogy of
tho needle, ft has niado moro iifcoful
conquests than tho sword. Pointed at
ono end and with an cyo at tho other,
whether ot bono or ivory, aa in earliest
timo; or of bronze, as in Pliny's timo;
or of steel, as in modern timo; whether
laboriously fashioned as iormerly by
ono linud, or as now, when 100 work
men in a factory aro employed to mal;o
the different pints of one needle, it is
an instrument divinely ordered for tlio
comfort, for tho lifo, ior tho health, for
the adoiniucutof the human race. Tho
ojv of tho needle hulh seen moro domes
tic comfort and moro gladdened pover
ty and moro Christian service than any
oilier cyo. Tho mc'deni bowing innohiuo
has in no wiso abolished tho needle, but
rather enthroned it. Thank God for tho
needlework, fiom the timo when tho
Lord Almighty from tlio heavens or-
dercd in regard to thu embroidered door
ut. tho ancient tabernacle, "Thou shalt
tnuke n hanging for tho door of tlio tent
of blue nnd puiplo and scarlet and fino
twined linen wiought with, needle
work," down to tho womanly hands
which this winter in tills tabernacle nro
presenting ior benevolent purposes their
necdluwoik. But them was nothing ex
cept vanity and worldlliiess and soclnl
splash in, what Sfstra's mother said
about tho needlework sho expected her
i,on would bring homo from t!io battle.
And I am u4. wu'pri'cd to find that liis

AN A COST IIO 1'IIH TO .MOTIIK1W.
But if you still pi cm tho question,
"Wheie's mother?" I will tell you
wheiosbo Is net, though onco sho was
there'. Sonio t.f you stai ted with her
likeness in your face and her principles
in your soul. But you havo cast her
out. That was an awful thing for you
todo, but you have done it. That hind,
grinding, dissipated look you never got
from her. If you had seen any ouo
rtriko her, you would have struck him
down without much earn whether tho
blow was just MiiuYlonl or fatal; but,
my boy, you havo struck her down -struck
her innocence fiom your face and
htiuek her prineiphs from your soul.
You struck her down! Tlio tent pin
thrt duel drove tlueo times into tho
skull of Sisera wns not so cruel us tho
stab you havo mado moro than threu
times tin ough your mother's hem t. But
sho Is waiting jet, for inothets aro slow
to givo up their boys waiting at sonio
window, it may bo a window on earth
or at sonio window in heaven. All oth
ers may cast you oil'. Your wlfo may
beck divorce and havo no moro patience
with you. Your father may ilislnlioi It
you and say, "Let him never agjiin
darken tho door of our luiuse." But
thero aro two persons who do not givo
you up God and mother.
How ninny disappointed mothers
waiting at tho window! Perhaps tho
panes of tho window aro not great glass
plate, hovel edged and hovered over by
exquisite lainbiequin, but tho window
is mado of small panes, 1 would say
about six or eight of them, in snnnue'i
wreathed with trailing vino and in
winter pictured by tho itaphaels of thu
foK.st, a real country window. Tho
inothersltsthcie knitting, or busy with
her li-.-edlo on homely lepalrs, whcmdio
looks up uml sees coming acroas Hie
bridge of tho meadow brook a stranger,
who dismounts in front of tho window,
llo lifts nnd drops tho heavy knocker of
tho farmhouse door. "Coino in!" is tho
response, llo gives his iiamo and says,
"1 Imvo coino on a sad errand." "Thero
is nothing tho matter with iny sou
in tho city, is there?" sho asks. " Yeul"
he says. "Your son got into an unfor
tunate encounter with a young man in
a liquor saloon last night and Is badly
hurt. Tho fact is ho cannot get well.
I hate to toll you all. 1 am sorry ip
say be is deud." "Dead!" sho cries as
sho totters back. "Oh, my son! my
son! my bon ! Would God I had died
for tine!" That is tho ending of all
her caies and anxieties and good coun
sels for that hoy. That is her pay for
her self sacnllces in his belmlf. That is
the bed news from tho battle. So tho
tidings of derelict or Christian sons trav
el to the wimlowfl of earth or tho win
dows of heaven at which motht-is sit.
"But," says homo oue,"'aro you not
mistaken about my glorified mother
hearing of iny ovihloings slnco eho
went away?" Says sonio ono clso, " Aio
you not mistaken about my glorified
mother hearing of my self sacrifice and
moral bravery and struggle to do
right?" No! Heaven uml tinith nre in
coiistuiit communication. Theio mo
trains running every llvo minutes
trains of immortals ascciulin and de
scending spirits going from earth to
heaven to live theio. Spirits descend
ing from heaven to earth to minister
and help. They hear from us many
times every day. Ho they hear good
news or bad news fiom thin battle, this
Sedan, this Thorniopyhe, this Auster
litz, in which overy ouo of us is light
ing on tho right side or tho wiong side.
O God, whoso I am, and whom 1 am
trying to servo, as a lvsult of this ser
mon, roll over on all mothers a new
sense or their lesponsaiility, and upon
all children, whether utlll in tho nur
sery or out on the tremundou.1 Esdraolon
of middle lifo or old nge, tho fact that
their victories or defeats sound clear
out, clear up to tho windows of sympa
thetic maternity. Oh, is not this the
minuto when tho cloud of blessing1
illlcd witli tlio oxhaled tears of anxious
mothers shall burst inshowereof mercy
on this audience?
Thero is ono thought that is almost
too tcndei for utterance. I almost tear
to stmt it lest 1 havo not enough con
tiol of my emotion to conclude it. A's
when wo weio children wo so often
came in fixnn play or from a hurt or
from some childish injustico practiced
upon us, ami us soon as the door was
opened wo cried, "Where's mother?"
and s1k said, "llero 1 am," and wo
buried our weeping faces in her lap, so
after awhile, whon wo get through with
the pleasures and hints of this life, wo
will, by tlio pardoning mercy of Christ,
i-iitttr tlio heavenly homo, and among
tho first questions, not tho first, but
among tho first, will be tho old question
that wo used to ask, tho question Hint
isboing nsked in thousands of places
at this very moment tho question,
Whero's mother?" And It will not
tnko long for us to find her or for her
to find us, for sho will have been watch
ing nt tlio window for our comiug, and
with tho other children of our houso
hold of earth wo will again gather
round hor, and bho will say: "Well.
how did you get through tho hattlo of
lifo? 1 havo often heard from others
about you, but now 1 want to bent it
from your own souls. Tell mo nil uboiit
it, my children!" And then wo will
toll hor of nil our earthly experiences,
the holidays, the marriages, tho birth
hours, tho burials, tho heartbreaks, tho
losses, tho gains, tlio victories, tlio do
feats, and she will say : "Nwcr mind, it
is all over now. I see cuch ono of you
litis a crown, which was given you at
tho gatu as you camo thiough. Now
cist it nt thu ieet of the Christ who
