THE REV. BE. TAIIAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUNDAY SERMON. Text: 44 Ther • are threescore queens.”— Solomon's Song, vi., 8. So Solomon, by one stroke, set forth the imperial character of a true Christian woman. She is not a slave, not a hireling, not a sub ordinate, but a oueen; arid in my text Solo mon sees sixty or these helping to make up the royal pageant of Jesus. In a former ser mon 1 showed you that crown and courtly attendants and material wardrobe were not necessary to make a queen; but that givices of the heart und life will give coronation to any woman. 1 showed you at some length that woman’s position was higher in the world than mans, and that although she hud often been denned the right of suffrage, she always did vote and always would vote by her influ ence; and that her chief desire ought to be that she should have grace rightly to rule in the dominion which she has already won. I began an enumeration of some of her rights, ana this morning I resume the subject. In the first place, woman has the special and the superlative right—not again going back to what I have already said—woman hasthespecial and superlative right of bless ing and comforting the sick. What land, what street, what house has not felt the smitings of disease? Tens of thousands of sick beds! What shall we do with them? Shall man, with his rough hand and clumsy foot, go stumbling around the sick room, trying to soothe the distracted nerves and alleviate the pains of the tossing . patient? The young man at college may scoff at the idea of being under maternal in fluences, but at the first blast of the typhoid fever on his cheek he says: “Where is mother?” Walter Scott wrote partly in satire and partly in compliment when ho said; O woman, in our hours of ease. Uncertain, coy ami hard to please ; When pam and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou. I think the most pathetic passage in all the Bible is the description of the lau who went out to the harvest field of and got, cunstruck—throwing Ins hands on his temples and crying out: “ Oh. my head !my head ! ” and they said : “ Carry him to his “mother.” And then the record is: “He sat on her knees till noon, and then died.” It is an awful thing to be ill away from home in a strange hotel, once in a while men coming in to look at you, holding their hand over their mouth lor fear they will catch the contagion. How roughly they turn you in bed. How loudly they talk. llow you long for the ministries of home. I knew one such who went away from one of the brightest of homes for several weeks’ business absence at the West. A telegram came at midnight that he was on his death bed, far away from home. By express train the wife and daughters went westward; but they went too late. Jle fear-l not to die, but ho was in agony to live until his family got there. He tried to brilw the doctor to make him live a little while longer. He said: “i am willing to die but not alone.” But the pulses fluttered, the eyes closed, and the heart stopjied. The ex press trains met in the midnight; wife and daughters going westward—lifeless remains of husband and father coming eastward. <J, it was a sad, pitiful, overwhelming spectacle! When we are sick we want to be back at home. When the time comes for us to die, we want to die at home. The room may be very humble, and the faces that look into ours may be very plain; but who cares for that? Loving hands to bathe the temples. Loving voices to speak good cheer. Loving lips to read the comforting promises of Jesus. In our last dreadful war men cast the can non; men fashioned the musketry; men cried to the hosts: “Forward, march!’ men hurl«*d their battalions on the sharp edges of the enemy, crying: “Charge!charge!” but woman scraped the lint; woman administered the cordials; woman watched bv the dying couch; woman wrote the last message to the home circle; woman wept at tho solitary burial attended by herself and four men with a .spade. We greeted the general home with brass hands, and triumphal arches, and wild huzzas; but the story is too good to be written anywhere, save in the chronicles of heaven, of Mrs. Brady, who came down among the sick in the swamps of the Chiclia horainy; of Annie Ross, in th<* cooi*?r shop hospital; of Margaret Breckinridge who came to men who had been for weeks with their wounds undressed—some of them frozen to tho ground, and when she turned them over those that had an arm left waved it and tilled the air w ith their “hurrahot Mrs. Hodge, who came from Chicago w ith blankets ami with pillows, until the men shouted: “Three cheers for the Christ>un Commission! God bless the women at home,” then sitting down to take the last message: “Tell my wife not to fret about rue, but to meet me in heaven;tell her to train up the boys whom we have love 1 so well: tell her we shall meet again in the good land ; tell her to bear my loss like the Chris tian wife of a Christian soldier;” and of Airs. Shelton, into whose face the convalescent soldier looked and said: “Your grains aril cologne cured me.” Men did their work w ith shot and shell, and carbine, and howitzer; women did their work with socks, and slippers, and bandages, and warm drinks, and Scripture texts, and gentle strok ingsof the hot temples, and stories of that land where they never have any train. Men knelt down over the wounded aiid said: “On which side did you light?” Women knelt down over the wounded and said: are you hurt? Wliafc nice thing can 1 make for you to eat? What makes you cry?” To night, while we men are sound asleep in our lieds, there will lie u light in yonder loft; there will be groaning down that dark alley there will be cries of distress in that cellar. Men will sleep and women w ill watch. Again, woman has a superlative right to take care of the poor. There are hundreds and thousands of them all over the land. There is a kind of work that men cannot do for the poor. Here comes a group of little bare foot children to the door of the Dorcas Socie ty. They need to be clothed and provided for Which of these directors of banks would know how many yards it would take to make that little girl a dress? Which of th* >se mas culine hands could fit a hat to that little girl's head ? Which of the wi'ie m-n "would know how to tie on a new pair of shoes? Mau sometimes give** his charity in a rough way, and it fid!, like the fruit of a tree in the east, wdiie'.i fruit <•< m-s down bo heavily that it br-aks ♦’ s'.cull ot the man who is trying to gather it. But woman glides so softiy into ill • house of d •*- tilution, and tinds out all the sorrows of the place, and puts so quietly the donation on the table, that all tho family come out on tiie front steps as she dejiurts, expecting that from under her shawl she will tnrust on* two wings and go right up toward heaven, from whence she seems to have come down. Oh, Christian young woman! if you would make yourself happy and win the blessings of Christ, go out among the destitute. A loaf of bread or a liuiidk* of so *ks may make a homely load to carry, hut the angels of God will come out to watch, And the Lord Almighty will give his ntre*- seuger nosh, a charge, sayiug: “Look after that woman. Canopy h* r with your wings and shelter h-r from all harm, and while you are seated in thehous* of destitution and suffering, the little ones around the room will wbßjier; “Who if, she? Ain't she K-tjp Hiul|” un i if yof /ill listen right sharply you will hear dripping down through the lejky roof, and rolling over the rotten fetuirs. the chant that shook Bethlehem; “Glory to God in the highest, and on e.trtu pea*-e, good will to men.” Con you HI me why a Christian woman going down among the haunts of iniquity on a Christian errr .d never meets with any indignity? 1 stood in the chapel of Helen Chalmers, tho daughter of the celebrated Dr. Chul iners. in the most abandoned part of the city of Edinburgh, and I said to her as I looked out upon the fearful surround ings of that place: 4 ‘ Do you route hero ingots to hold a service?” “O, yes," tie said. “Can it !»e possible that yoq |jver meet with an insult while t*?t forming this Christain errand ?” 41 Never,” she said* 44 never.” That young woman who has her father by her side walking down the street, an armed police at each corner, is not so well defended os that Christian woman who goes forth on gospel work into the haunts of iniquity, carrying tho Bibles and bread. God, witli tho red right arm of his wrath omnipo tent, would tear to pieces any one who should oiler indignity. Lie would smite him with lightnings, and drown him with floods, and swallow him with earthquakes, and damn him with eternal indignations. Boras one said: “I dislike very much to see that Christian woman teaching those bad boys in the mission school. , r am afraid to have her instruct them.” “So,” said another man, “I am afraid, too.” Said the first: “I am afraid they will use vile language before they leave the place.” “Ah,” said the ether mau, “I am not afraid of that. What I am afraid of is that if any of those boys should use a bad word in that presence the other boys would tear him to pieces and kill him on the spot.” That woman is best shel tered who is sheltered by the Lord God Al mighty, and you nee*l never fear going any where where God tells you to go. It seems os if the Lord had ordained woman for an especial wort in the solicitation of charities. Backed up by barrels in which there is no flour, and by stoves in which there is no tire, and by wardrobes in which there are no clothes, a woman is irresistible; passing on her errand, God says to her: “You go into that bank, or store, or shop, and get the money.” She goes in and gets it. The man is hard listed, but she gets it. She could net help but get it. It is decreed from eternity she should get it. No need of your turning your back and pretending you don't Hear; you do hear. Tnere is no need of your saying you are begged to death. There is uo need of your wasting your time, and you might as well submit first as last. You had better right away take down your check book, mark the number of the check, till up the blank, sign your name and hand it to her. There is no need of wasting time. Those poor children on the back street have been hungry long enough. That sick man must have’ some farina. That consumptive must have some thing to ease his cough. 1 meet this delegate of a relief society coming out of the store of such a hard fisted man, and l say: “Did you get the money?” “Os course,” she says, “I got the money; that's what I went for. The Lord told me to go in and get it, and he never sends me on a fool's errand. ” Again, I have to tell you that it is a woman’s specific right to comfort under the stress of dire disaster. She is weaker vessel, but all profane as well as sacred history attests that when the crisis comes she is better prepared than man to moot the emergency. How often you have St*ou a woman who seem * 1 to be a disciple of frivolity and indolence,who, under one stroke of calamity, changed to a heroine. Oh, what i a groat mistake those business men make who never tell their business troubles to their wives! There comes some great loss to their store, or some of their companions in busi nos> play them a sad triek. and they carry t!i - burden all alone. He is asked in the house hold again and again: What is the matter? but he lielievcs it a sort of Christian duty :o keep all that trouble within his own soul. Oh, your first duty was to tell your wife all about it. SJie perhaps might not have disentangled your finances or ex tended your credit but she would have leljwd you to bear misfortune. You have no •ight to ".ai ry on one shoulder that whieh is ntended for two. There are business men lore who know what J mean. There came i crisis lu your affairs. You struggled bravo y and long, but after a while there came a day when you said: “Here I shall have to stop,” and you called in your part ners, and you called in tho most prominent men in your employ, an* l you said: “We have rot to stop.” You left the store suddenly. You could hardly makeup your mind to pass through the street and over on the ferryboat. You felt everybody would be looking at vou and blaming you and denouncing you. You hastened home. You told your wife all about the affair. What did she say? Did she play the butterfly? Did she talk about the silks and the ribbons and the fashions? No. She came up to the emergency. She quailed not under the stroke. She helped you to begin to plan right away. She offered to go out of the comfortable house >uto a smaller one, and wear the old cloak another winter. She was one who understood your affairs without blaming you. You looked upon what you thought was a thin, weak woman's arm hold ing you up. but while you looked at that arm there came into the feeble muscles of it the strength of the eternal God. No chiding. No fretting. No telling you about the beau tiful house of her father, from whieh you brought her ten, twenty, or thirty years ago. You said: “Well, this is the happiest day of my life. lam glad I have gotten from under my burden. My wife dou't care—l don't care.” At the moment you were utterly ex hausted, God sent a Deborah to meet the host of the Aiualekites ami scatter them like chaff over tho plain. Thera ure some times women who sit reading sentimental novels, and who wish that they had some grand field in which to display their Chris tian powers. Oh, what grand ami glorious things they could do if they only had an np purtunity? My sister, you need not wait for any such time. A crisis will come in your affairs. There will l*o a Thermopylae in your own household, where God will tell you to stand. There are scores and hundreds oi households to-day whereas much bravery and courage are demanded of woman as was ex hibited bv Grime Darling, or Marie Antoi nette, or Joan of Arc. Again I remark, it is woman’s right to bring to us the kingdom of heaven. It is easier for a woman to Ik* a Christian than for a man. Why? You say she is weaker. No. Her heart is more responsive to the pleadings of divine love. She is in vast majority. The fact that she can more easily become a t 'hris tian, 1 prove by the statement that throe fourths of th** members of the churches in all Christendom are women. So God appoints them to be the chief agencies for bringing this world back to God. I may stand here and say the soul is immortal. There isa man who will refute it. 1 may stand here and say we are lost and undone without Christ. There is a man who will refute it. I may stand here and say there will he a Judg ment Day after a while. Yonder is some one who will refute it. But a Christian woman in a Christian household, living in the faith and tho consistency of Christ’s Gospel—nobody can refute that. The greatest sermons are not preached on cele brated platforms; they are preached with an audience of two or tliree, and in private home Hfe. A consistent, consecrated Christian service is an unanswerable demonstration of God's truth. A sailor came slipping down th** ratlines one night, as though something had hap|»en sl.aiul the sailors cried: “What's the matter?” Ha sail: **My mother's prayers h unit me like a gho>t.” Home influences, consecrated, Christian borne influences, are tlie mightiest of all influences upon the soul. There are men here to-day who have main tained their integrity, not liecau.se they were any better naturally than some other people, but because there wen* home influences pray ing for them ail the time. They got a good start. They were lauir-lied on' the world w ith the benedictions of a Christiun mother. They may tra -k Siberian snows, they may plunge in African jungles, they may fly to the earth's en i—they cannot go so far and so fast but the prayers will ke*p up with them. I stand before women to-day who liave th# eternal salvation of their husbaii'ls in theur right hand. On the marriage day von took n:i oath before m**a und angels that you would be faithful an 1 kind until d-ath did you part, and I believe you are going to keep that oath; but after that pm tin,; at th** door of th«* grave will it Ik* mi eternal separation? is there any su *h thing as an immortal mar riage. making th** flowers that grow on the top of the sefMtlcbur brighter than th** gar lands which at the marriage banqu *t tlooied the air with aroma? Ye,. 1 stand here as a priest of the ncist high G**d, to pro laim the b unw of an immortal union for ail those who join hands in the grace of I'hrist. O woman, is your htidwn 1, your father, your son. away from God? The Lord demands their redemp tion at your hands. Tb*»re are prayers for you to offer, th**re are exhortations for you to give, there are exam phot for vou to set; and ( say now. as Paul saM to the Corinthian wom in: “ What know*?<t,thou Owo-nan, but ! thou canst save thy husband I” 1 A man was dying: aad he saW to his wflh “Rebecca, you wouldn’t let m? have fauuh prayers; and you laughed about all that, ant you got me away into worldlier?#}; and now ) am going to die, and my fate is seated, aw you are the cause ot my ruin!” O worn** what knowest thou but thou const destroy thy husband ? Are there not some here have kindly influences at home? Are then not some here who have wandered far from God, who can remember the Chrisliai influences in the early home? Do not de spise those influences, my brother. If yos die without Christ, what will tou d« with your mother's pravers, with yet* wife’s importunities, with your snleri entreaties? What will you do wit I the letters they used to write to you, with the memory of those days when they at ten* tad you so kindly iu times of sickewes? Oh. 1 there be just one strand holding you frm floating off on that dark sea, 1 would pad like this morning to take hold of that strand and pull you to the beach! For the sake #1 vour wife's God,for the sake of your God, for the sake of your ‘laughter’s God . flff the -ake of your sister's God, come this day ustly*! msh to say Miatooeotttie specific rights of woman is, through the grave of Christ, finally to reach Heaven? Mary, Christ’s mother, in Heaven; Elizabeth Fry in Heaven; Charlotte Elizabeth iu Heaven;tlw mother of Augstine in Heaven; the Countess of Huntingdon—who sold her splendid jeweh to build chapels—in Heaven; while a great many others who have never been heard of on earth or known but little, have gone int* the rest and peace of heaven. What a rest' What a change it was from the small room, with uo fire and one window, the glass broken gut, and the aching side, and worn out eyes, to the “house of many mansions!” Ne more stitching until I'd at night, no more thrusting of the thumb by the employer through the work to show it was not done quite right Plenty of bread at last. Heaven for aching head-*. Heaven for broken hearts. Heaven for anguish bitten frames. No more sitting up uutil midnight for the coming of the staggering steps. No more rough blows across the temples. No more sharp, keen, bitter curses. Some of you will have no rest in this world. It will be toil and struggle und suffering ail the way upi You will have to stand at your door tig hi mg back the wolf with your own hand, ml with car nage. But (loti has a crown for you. 1 want to realize this morning that he is now making it. and whenever you weep a tear he sets another gem in that crown; whenever you have a pang of body or soul, he puts another gem in thsff crown, until, after a while, in all th* tiara there will be no room for an other splendor, and God will say to his angek “The crown is done; let her up that she uu) wear it.” And as the Lord of righteousnes# puts the crown upon your brow angel wil cry to angel: “u ho is she!” and Christ wil say: “1 will tell you who she is. Sheistb* one that came up out of great tribulation and lial her robe washed and made white it the blood of the Lamb. ” And then God wil spread a Banquet, and He will invite all »h* principalities of heaven to sit at the and tiie tables will blush with the heel clusters from the vineyards of God, an* l crimson with the twelve mannet of fruits from the Tree of Life : and watear from the fountains of the rock will Had* from the golden tankards; an*l the old harpers of heaven will sit there, making music with their harp# ; and Christ will point you out. amid the celebrities of heaven, saying: “She suf fered with me on earth, now we are going to be glorified together. And tho baa* meter*, no longer able to hold their pence, wkU break forth with congratulation: “-Hail!” hail!” And there will be handwritings on the wall— not such as struck the Persian uobieman with horror—but tiredipped fingers, writing in blazing capitals of light, and love, and victory: “God hath wiped away all tear# from all facesl” A Planet Taken with Convulsion*. A correspondent of the 1%/neer JVros, of India, gives the following account of “facts as witnessed by myself, wife and two Mahommedau servants, all four see*- ing the phenomenon simultaneously, and not for a minnte or so, but for upward of an hour:*’ “At about 8:JO o'clock in the evening, while sitting at dinner, one of my khitmutgars came in from the out side and said: ‘Sir, just step out and see what a tamasha is taking place with the star Sook'—the native name for Venus. Out we went, and sure enough, there was Venus, large and bright, but, strange to say, falling two, three and four feet at a time, then oscillating from right to left; sometimes dashing to the right and then to the left several feet at a time. These movements continued in rapid succession, and were plainly ap parent to all at once; but this was not all. Venus, when we first saw her, was say* apparently some four hundred yard* above horizon. While watching her, we observed a star (some two yards to look at) above suddenly fall into Venus and there remain. We were amaaed. The natives exclaimed: ‘The last day is at hand.’ and so on. We watched Venus rapidly descending until she dipped the horizon. At times she appeared her usual size and quite bright, theu again hardly visible. Perhaps the phenomenon de scribed can be explained by some one versed in astronomy. 1 again repeal that what has been described wa* seou by myself, wife and two native servants and could by no means have been im agination.” Hie Origin of tho Fairy Uiiderolla. It has been said that not one sweet girl n 50,000 knows the origin oi the frivud :>f her babyhood, Cinderella. Acorre ifioudent sends me the following: “Cin derella's real name was Rhodope, and she was a beautiful Egyptian maiden, who lived 070 years before the common era inti during the reign of Psammeticus, one as the twelve Kings of Egypt. One day Rhodope ventured to bathe in a clear dream near her home, ami meanwhile left her shoes, which must have been unusually small, lying ou the bank. An jagle passing above chanced to catch dght of the little sandals, and mistaking them for a toothsome tidbit, |H>unccd down and carried one off in his beak. The bird unwittingly played the part of .'airy godmother, for, flying directly over Memphis, where King Psauuneticus was dispensing justice, it let the shoe fall right into the King's lap. It* size, Iwuuty *nd daintiness immediately attracted the royal eye, and the King, determined upon snowing the wearer of so cunning a shoe, sent through all hi* kingdom in search of the foot that would fit it The messen ger finally discovered Rhodope, fitted on the shoe and carried her iu triumph to Memphis, where she became the (jueen of the King Psatmnethus.” —* b'iaaro.
