Lnadlila N. Y. ( Spccfat-0nc ) of our .
substantial men here , Fred J. Joyce ,
recently made a $2.50 investment , and 1
consul cgs the reaalts worth $500 to him.
: t For over fifteen years Mr. Joyce was
an Inveterate smoker , and the tobacco-
habit gained such a hold on him that
it affected Ills nervous system and
made it impossible for him to quit.
1 Upon realizing the loss of health and
money which threatened him , he made
many unsuccessful attempts to break
1 himself of the life-sapping habit , until
on a chance he took No-To-Bac , the
great cure which lias saved over 300 ;
' 000 tobacco victims. Two boxes completely -
pletely cured Mr. Joyce , and he has
no desire for tobacco now whatever.
When be attempts to smoke it makes
him as dizzy as when he first acquired
. - the habit. He now is in the very best
physical condition , and a UU would not
tempt him to use tobacco again.
It is letter to bo a rood cook or waitress

OUTSPOKEN RELIGION THE
GREATEST OF ALL.
Golden Text : "Let the Redeemed of the
Lord Say So"-Psalms 107:2-The
Apostle of Praycr the Great Conqueror
of All EviL
N overture , an antiphon -
tiphon , a doxology
is this chapter ,
and in my text
David calls for an
outspoken religion ,
and requests all
who have been
rescued and blessed
no longer to hide
the splendid facts ,
but to recite them ,
publish them , and as far as possible let
all the world know about it. "Let the
redeemed of the Lord say so. " There
! s a sinful reticence which has been almost -
most canonized. The people are quite
as outspoken as they ought to be on all
subjects of politics , and arc fluent and
voluble on the Venezuelan question , and
bimetallism , and tariffs , and low
and remodeled , and female suffrage ,
and you have to skillfully watch your
chance if you want to put into active
conversation a modest suggestion of
your own ; but on the subject of divine
goodness , religious experience , and
eternal blessedness they are not
only silent , but boastful of their reti-
cence. Now , if you have been redeemed
of the Lord , why do you not say so ?
If you have in your heart the pearl of
great price , worth more than the Koh-i-
noor among Victorian jewels , why not
let others see it ? If you got off the
wreck in the breakers , why not tell of
the crew and the stout life boat that
safely landed you ? If from the fourth
story you are rescued in time of conflagration -
flagration , why not tell of the fireman
and the ladder down which he carried
you ? If you have a mansion in heaven
awaiting you , why not show the deed to
those who may by the same process get
an emerald castle on the same boulevard -
vard ? By the last two words of my
text David calls upon all of us who
have received any mercy at the hand of
God to stop impersonating the asylums
for the dumb , and in the presence of
men , women , angels , devils , and all
worlds , "say so. "
In these January days , thousands of
ministers and private Christians are
wondering about the best way of starting -
ing a revival of religiCu. I can tell you
a way of starting a revival , continental ,
hemispheric and world-wide. You say
a revival starts in heaven. Well , it
starts in heaven just as a prosperous
harvest starts in heaven. The sun
must shine and the rains must descend ,
but unless you plow and sow and cultivate -
vate the earth you will not raise a
bushel of wheat or a peck of corn between -
tween now and the end of the world.
How , then , shall a universal revival
start ? By all Christian people telling
the story of their own conversion. Let
ten men and women get up next week
in your prayer meeting and , not in a
conventional or canting or doleful way ,
but in the same tone they employ in the
fahrily or place of business , tell
how they crossed the line , and the revival -
vival will begin then and there , if the
prayer meeting has not been so dull
as to drive out all except thee concerning -
ing whom it was foreordained for all
eternity that they should be there.
There are so many different ways of
being converted that we want to hear
all kinds , so that our own case may be
helped. It always puts me back to
hear only one kind of experience , such
as a man gives when he tells of his
Pauline conversion-how he was
knocked senseless , and then had a vision -
ion and heard voices , and after a certain -
tain number of days of horror got up
and shouted for joy. All that discourages -
ages me , for I was never knocked senseless -
less , and I never had such a sudden
burst of religious rapture that I lost
my equilibrium. But after awhile a
Christian man got up in some meeting
and told us how he was brought up by a
devout parentage , and had always been
thoughtful about religious things , and
gradually the peace of the Gospel came
into his soul ¶ ike the dawn of the morn-
ing-no perceptible difference between
moment and moment-but after awhile
all perturbation settled down into a
hope that had consoled and strengthened -
ened him during all the vicissitudes of
a lifetime. I said , "That is exhilarating -
ing ; that was my experience , " and so I
was strengthened. In another prayer
meeting a man got up and told us how
he once hated God , and went through
all the round of iniquity , until we were ,
all on nettles lest he should go too much
into the particulars , but one day he was
by some religious power hurled at , and
then got up a Christian , and had ever
since been going around with a Baxter
Bible with large flaps under his arm , a
floating evangelist. Well , under this 1
story many are not helped at all , for ,
they know they never hated God , and '
they were never dissolute. But after i
awhile some Christian woman arises
and says , "I have nothing extraordinary -
nary to tell ; yet I think the cares of life ,
the anxieties about my children , and
two graves opened in our family plot ,
made me feel the need of God , and weak
sad helpless and heart-broken , I flung
myself upon his mercy , and I feel what
the Bible calls the 'peace of God which
passeth all understanding , ' and I ask I
your prayers that I may live nearer to !
the Christ who has done so much for
me. " I declare that before that woman
got through we were all crying , not I
bitter tears , but tears of joyful emotion ,
and in three days , in that neighborhood -
hood , all the ice had gone out of the
river in a springtime freshet of salva-
tion. "Let the redeemed of the Lord
say so"i i
What a confirmation would come if
.11 who had answers to prayers would
I
e
speak out ! If all merchants in tight
places because of hard times would tell
how , in response to supplication , they
got the money to pay the note. If all
farmers in time of drought would tell
how , In answer to prayer , the rain came
just in time to save the crop. If all
parents who prayed for a wandering
son to come home would tell ] low , not
long after , they heard the boy's hand on
the latch of the front door.
There lingers on this side of the river
that divides earth and heaven , ready
at any time to cross over , the apostle of
prayer for this century , Jeremiah Calvin -
vin Lanphier , the founder of the Fulton -
ton Street Prayer Meeting , and if he
should put on his spectacles and read
this , I salute him as more qualified than
any man since Bible times in demonstrating -
strating what prayer can do. Dear
Brother Lanphier ! The high heavens
are full of his fame. Having announced
a meeting for 12 o'clock , September 23 ,
1857 , he sat in the upper room on Fulton
street , New York , waiting for people to
come. He waited for a half hour , and
then a foot fall was heard on the steps ,
I
and after awhile in all six persons arrived -
rived ; but the next day twenty , and the
I next day forty , and from that time to
i this , for over thirty-eight years , every
day , Sabbath excepted , that Fulton
Street Prayer Meeting has been a place
where people have asked prayer and
answers to prayers have been announced -
nounced , and the throb of that great
heart of supplication has thrilled not
only in the heavens , but clear around
the world , more than any spot on earth ,
i ,
That has been the place where the redeemed -
deemed of the Lord said so !
I There are hundreds of ministers who
have hard work to make sermons because -
cause no one expresses any apprecia-
tion. They are afraid of making him
vain. The moment the benediction is
pronounced they turn on their heels
I anti go out. Perhaps it was a subject
on which he had put especial pains. He
i sought for the right text , and then did
! his best to put the old thought into
some new shape. He had prayed that
it might go to the hearts of the peo-
. He had added to the argument
the most vivid illustrations he could
think of. He had delivered all with
j a power that left him nervously ex-
hausted. Five hundred people may
i
have been blessed with it , and resolved
upon a higher life and nobler purpose.
Yet all he hears is the clank of the
pew door , or the shuffling of feet in
the aisle , or some remark about the
I weather , the last resort of inanity.
Why did not that man come up and
say frankly , "You have done me
good ? " Why did not some woman
come up and say , „ I shall go home to
take up the burden of life more cheerfully -
fully ? " Why did not some professional
man come up and say , "Thank you ,
dominie , for that good advice. I will
take it. God bless you. " Why did
they not tell him so ? I have known
ministers , in the nervous reaction that
comes to some after the delivery of a
sermon with no seeming result , to go
home and roll on the floor in agony.
i But to make up for this lack of outspoken -
spoken religion there needs to be and
will be a Great Day , when amid the
solemnities and grandeurs of a listening -
ing universe God will "say so. " No
statistics can state how many mothers
have rocked cradles and hovered over
infantile sicknesses and brought up
their families to manhood and womanhood -
hood , and lauched them upon useful
and successful lives , and yet never received -
ceived one "Thank you" that amounted
I
to anything. The daughters became
queens in social life and are affianced
in highest realms of prosperity ; the
sons took the first honors of the university - ,
sity and became radiant in monetary
or professional spheres. Now the secret
of all that uplifted maternal influence
must come out. Society did not sap
so ; the church did not say so ; the world
did not say so , but on that day of all
other days , the Last Day , God will say
so.
There are men to whom life is a grind
I and a conflict , hereditary tendencies to
be overcome , accidental environments
to be endured , appalling opposition to
be met and conquered , and they never
so much as had a rose pinned to their
coat lapel in admiration. They never
had a song dedicated to their name.
They never had a book presented to
them with a complimentary word on j
the fly leaf. All they have to show for '
their lifetime battle is scars. But in
the Last Day the story will come out ,
and that life will be put in holy and
transcendent rhythm , and their courage j
and persistence and faith and victory
will not only be announced , but re-
warded. "These are theyy that come !
out of great tribulation and had their
robes washed and made white in the !
blood of the Lamb ! " God will say sot
We miss one of the chief ideas of a
Last Judgment. We put into the plc-
tore the fire , and the smoke , and the
earthquake , and the descending angels ,
and the uprising dead , but we omit to
put into the picture that which makes ,
the Last Judgment a magnificent op-
portunity. We omit the fact that it is
to be a day of glorious explanation and i
i
commendation. The first justice that
millions of unrewarded , and unrecognized -
nized , and unappreciated men and ;
women get will be on that day , when I
services that never called forth so
much as a newspaper line of finest I
pearl or diamond type , as the printers I
term it , shall be called up for corona-
tion. That will be on the day for enthronement - ,
thronement for those whom the world
called "Nobodies. " Joshua , who commanded -
manded the sun and the moon to stand
I
still , needs no last judgment to get I
justice done arm , lut those men do ;
need a last judgment who at times ,
in all armies , under the most violent }
assault , in obedience to command ,
themselves stood still. Deborah , who
encouraged Barak to bravery in bat-
tie against the oppressors of Israel ,
needs no Last Judgment to get justice 1
done her , for thousands of years have j
clapped her applause. But the wives 1
who In all ages have encouraged their
husbands in the battle of life , women
whose games were hardly known beyond -
yond the next street or the next farm-
110050 , must have God say to them ,
"You did well ! You did gloriously !
I saw you down in that dairy. I
watched you in the old farmhouse ,
mending those children's clothes. I
heard what you said in the way of
cheer when the bread winner of the
household was in despair. I remember
all the sick cradles you have sung to.
I remember the backaches , the headaches -
aches , the heartaches. I know the
story of your knitting needle as well as
I know the story of a queen's scepter.
Your castle on the heavenly hill is all
ready for you. Go up and take it ! "
And turning to the surprised multitudes -
tudes of heaven , He will say , "She did
what she could. " God will say so.
And now I close with giving my own
personal testimony , for I must not enjoin -
join upon others that which I decline
myself to do. Born at Boundbrook , N.
J. , of a parentage as pious as the world
ever saw , I attest before earth and
heaven that I have always felt the
elevating and restraining influences of
having had a good father and a good
mother , and if I am able to do half as
well for my children as the old folks
did for me I will be thankful forever.
The years of my life passed on until ,
at about eighteen years of age , I felt
the pressure of eternal realities , anti
after prayer anti religious counsel I
passed into what I took to be a saved
state , and joined the church , and I attest -
test before earth and heaven that I
have found it a most helpful and inspiring -
spiring association. I like the conl-
panioP.ship so well that I cannot be sat-
iseffed if I have a day less of it than
all eternity. After graduating at collegiate -
legiate and theological institutions I
) lad the hands of ten or twelve good men
nut upon my head in solemn ordination -
tion , at Belicville , New Jersey , and I
attest before earth and heaven that
the work of the gospel ministry has
been delightful , and I expect to preach
until my last hour. Many times I have
passed through deep water of bereavement -
ment , and but for the divine promise
of heavenly reunion , I would have gene
under , but I attest before earth and
heaven that the comfort of the gospel
is high , deep , glorious , eternal. Many
times have I been maligned and my
work misrepresented , but all such
falsehood and persecution have turned
out for my advantage and enlarged
my work , and I attest before earth and
heaven that God has fulfilled to me the
promises , "Lo ! I am with you always , '
and "The gates of hell shall not prevail -
vail against you. "
For the cheer of younger men in all
departments , let me say you will come
out all right if you mind your own
business and are patient. The assault
of the world is only being rubbed down
by a rough Turkish towel , and it Improves -
proves the circulation and makes one
more vigorous. While the future holds
for me many mysteries which I do not
pretend to solve , I am living in expectation -
tation that when my poor work is done
I shall go through the gates and meet
my Lord and all my kindred who have
preceded me , a precious group whom I
miss more and more as the years go by ,
and I attest before earth and heaven
that the glories of the heavenly world
illume my pathway. In courts of law
the witness may kiss the Bible or lift
his right hand in oath , but as I have
often kissed the dear old Book , I now
lift my right hand and take oath by him
that Irvetlr forever and ever that God i
is good , and that the gospel is a mighty
consolation in days of trouble , and
(
that the best friend a man ever had
is Jesus , and that heaven is absolutely
sure to those who trust and serve the
blessed Redeemer ; to whom be glory
and dominion and victory and song ,
and chorus of white-robed immortals ,
standing on seas of glass mingled with
fire. Amen and amen !

to-day Mr. Sherman of Ohio reported
adversely from the foreign 'relations

I perative duty in the interests of hu-
Inanity to express the earnest hope

speedily be given its just effects in
such decisive measures as shall stay
the hand of fanaticism and lawless
violence , and as shall secure to the
unoil'cnding ' Christians of the Turkish

property of such citizens. "
Mr. Cullom said the resolution was
reported by the unanimous vote of the
committee , as he desired immediate

Hartness : "Yes , lily daughter's life has
been saved by using Pink Pills , thanks
to a kind friend who reconunended them
to me ,
"Blanche was sick for over three
years. She had the care of the best
physlcans ! procurable , and no expense
or trouble was spared to give her relief.
She was so hln that she was fairly shut
and bones , her digestion was out of
order and she had the most awful head-
aches. We gave ul ) all hope of her re-
covery. lIer long , thin , listless face
made me nearly half crazy , and we did
every thing In our power to give her
strength and induce her to take an Interest -
terest in anything.
"One day a friend told me about the
Pink Pills , and Mr..ilartness went down
town and got three boxes She had
taken about one box , when , to my
amazement , one morning i heard her
playhmg on the piano. I could hardly be.
Bove it , for it had been over a year
since the piano had been opened.
"Soon she began to take short rides
on lieu' bicycle , and soon she went singing -
ing around the ho1Le , our own happy ,
hearty little ( laughter once more.
"She thinks nothing of a spin on her
wheel over to Mt. Clemens or Pontiac ,
anti Is as veil as she ever was.
i
" 1 had a girl living at our house 'who
was a great sufferer from innpoverishe(1 l
blood , and wlto received instant amt
pernanent relief from the use of one
box of the phis ,
"If this ipformatlon can be of any use
to hell. some poor sick onto , it is given
with the greatest of pleasurt' . "

The /inlet Fnru , Life.
Many complain of the confinement of
farm life , and especially at night they
must be at home. Statistics show that
nine-tenths of the crimes committed in
the world arc done between sunset and
rnnrise. Blessed rather is the faruner's
family , safe from the temptation and
secure in the pure influence of home.
Let us build our homes , sending forth a
moral and religious infhuen " , a spot
that will be remembered with pleasure -
ure by our children in the years to
cone , a quiet retreat in whuiclm to entertain -
tertain our friends , a restforthe weary
traveler and stranger and an honor to
tle community in which we live , and
we can say we have made the farm pay.

ing in the situation , showed one marked -
ed $11. She produced a dainty trifle
for $25 , and then a beauty , with inlaid
tortoise shell sticks , for 530. .Jut
