Text : “ With long life will I satis/!,
h inu ” —Psalms xei. ,16.
1 brough the mistake of its friends religion
has been chiefly associated with sick beds and
graveyards. The whole subject to many
people is odorous with chlorine and carbolic
ac'iL There are people who cannot pro
nounce the word relig on without hearing in
it the clipping chisel of the tombstone cut
ter. It is high t;m3 that this thing were
changed and that religion, instead of being
represented as a hearse to carry out the dead,
should be repreginted as a chariot in wLi.h
the living are to triumph.
Religion, so far from subtracting from
one s vitality, is a glorious addition. It is
sanative, curative, hygienic. It is good for
the eyes, good for the ears, good for the
spleen, good for the digestion, good for the
nerves, good for the muscles. VV hen David,
in another part of the Psalms, prays that re
ligion may be dominant he does not speak of
it as a mild sickness, or an emaciation, or an
attack of moral and spiritual cramp: he
speaks of it as “the saving health of all na
tions;’’ while God. in the text, promises
longevity to the pious, saying: “With long
life will I satisfy him."
The fact is that men and women die too
soon. It is high time that religion joined the
hand of medical science in attempting to im
prove human longevity’. Adam lived nine
hundred and thirty years. Methuselah lived
nine hundred and sixty-nine years. As late
iu the history of the world as Vespasian,
there were at one time in bis empire forty
five people one hundred and thirty-five years
old. So far down as the Sixteenth century,
Peter Zartan died at one hundred and eighty
five years of age. Ido not say that religion
will ever take the race back to ante dduvian
longevity, but Ido say the length of human
life will be greatly improved
It is said in Isaiah: “The child shall die a
hundred yfears old.” Now, if according to
Kcripture the child is to be a hundred years
old, may not the men and women reach to
three hundred and four hundred and five
hundred.' The fact is that we are mere
dwarfs and skeletons compared with some of
the generations that are to come. Take the
African race. They have been under bond
age for centuries. Give them a chance nnd
they develop a Fred rick Douglass or a Tous
saint L’Unverture. And if the white race
shall be brought from under the serfdom of
sin, what shall Le the body? What shall be
the soul? Religion Ims only just touched our
world. Give it full power for a few centuries,
and who can fell what will be the strength
of man and the beauty of woman and the
longevity of all.
My design is to show that practical re
ligion is the friend«of long life. I prove it,
first, from the fact that it makes the care of
our health a positive Christian duty.
Whether we shall keep early or late hours,
whether we shall take food digestible or in
digestible, whether there shall be thorough or
incomplete mastication, are questions very
often deferred to the realms of whimsicality;
tut the Christian man lifts this whole
problem of health into the accountable and
the divine. He says: “God lias given ino
this ho ly, and He has called it the temp’e of
the Holy Ghost, and to deface its altars or
mar its walls or crumble its pillars is aGo.l
defying sacrilege.”
He sees God s caligraphy in every page
anatomical nnd physiological. He says:
••God has given rao a wonderful body for
noble purposes.”
That arm with thirty-two curious bones
wielded by forty-six curious muscles, and all
under the brain’s telegraj by; ,SSO pounds of
blood rudiing through the heart every hour,
the heart in twenty-four hours beating 100-,
600 times, during the twenty-four hours
overcoming resistances amounting to 234, >
003,000 pounds of weight, during the same
time the lungs taking in fifty-seven hogs
heads f t air, and all this mechanism not
more mighty than delicate and easily dis
turbed and d< molished.
The Christian man says to himself: “If I
hurt my nerves, if I hurt my brain, if I hurt
any of.my physical faculties I insult God and
rail for dire retribution.” Why did God tell
the Levit© i not to offer to him in sacrifice
animals imjerfe* t an l di-ieascdt He meant
to tell us in all the ages that we are to offer
to God our very best physical condition, and
a man who through irregular or gluttonous
eating ruins his health is not offering to God
such a sacrifice. Why did Paul write for hig
cioak at Troas? Why should such a great
man as Paul be anxious about a thing so in
significant as an overcoat? It was because
he knew that with pneumonia nnd rheuma
tism he would not le worth half as much to
Gol and the chun h as with respiration easy
ami foot free.
An intelligent Christian roan would con
sider it an absurdity to kneel down at night
and pray an t a*k God’s protection while at
the same time he kept the windows of his
\ed room tight shut agamst fresh air. He
would just as soon think of going out on the
bridge between New York and Brooklyn,
leaping off and then praying to God to keep
him from getting hurt. Just as long as you
defer this whole subject of physical health to
the realm of whimsicality or to the pastry
cock or to the butcher or to the b iker or to
the apothecary or to the clothier, you are not
acting like a Christian. Take care of all
your physical forces—nervous, muscular,
bon-, bruin cellular tissue—for all you must
be brought to judgment.
Smoking your nervous system into fidgets,
Ginning out the coating of your stomach
witu wine logwooded and strychniood, walk
ing with thin shoes to rmjke your feet look
delicate, pinched at the waist until you are
we 1 nigh cut in two. end mother i»art worth
unything, groaning about sicli headache anl
palpitation of the heart, which you think
cams from God, when they came from youi
own folly.

care of our health. Is not the whole tendency

that alighted on the bust above his chamber
door was delirium tremens—
Only this and nothing more.
Napoleon Bonaparte live 1 only just beyond
midlife, then died at Sfc. Helena, and one of
his doctors said that his disease was induced
by excessive snuffing. The hero of Auster-
Htz, the man who by one step of his foot in
the center of Europe shook the earth, killed
by a snuff box. Oh, how many people we
have known who have not lived out half
their days because 6f their d supations and
indulgences! Now practical religion is a
protest against all dissipation of any kind.
“But,” 3*ou say, “professors of religion
have fallen, professors of rel gion have got
drunk, professors of religion have misanpro
Eriate 1 trust funds, professors of relig on
ave absconded.” Yes; but they threw away
their religion before they did their morality.
If a man on a White Star line steamer bound
for Liverpool in mid-Atlantie jumps over
board and is drowned, is that anything
aga'nstthe White Star line’s capacity to take
the man across the ocean* And if a man
jumps over the gunwale of his religion and
goes down never to rise, is that any reason
for vour believing that religion has nocana
city to take the man clear through? In the
one case if ho had kept to the steamer his
body would have been saved; in the other
case, if he had kept to his religion his moral 9
would have been saved.
There are agod people who would have
been dead twentv-flve years ago but for the
defenses and the equipoise of religion. You
have no more natural resistance than hun
dreds of reople who lie in the cemeteries to
day. s'arn by their own vices. The doctors
made their case ns kind and pleasant as they
could, and it was ca'led congestion of the
brain, or something else, but the snakes and
the blueflies that seemed to crawl over the
pillow in the sight of the delirious patient
showed what was the matter with him. You,
the aged Christian man, walked along by
that unhappy one until you came to the
golden pillar of a Christian life. That is all
the difference between you. Oh, if this re
ligion is a protest against all forms of dissi
pation. then it is an illustrious friend of
longevity. “With long life will I satisfy
him.”
Again, religion is a friend of longevity in
the fact that it takes thp worry out of our
temporalities. It is not work that kills men,
it is worry. When a man becomes a genuine
Christian he makes over to God not only h ! s
affections tui his family, his business, his
reputation, his body, his in nd, his soul—
everything. Industrious he will be, but
never worrying, becau'io (*od is managing
h>s affairs. How can he worry about busi
ness when in answer to his prayers God tells
him when to buy and when to se 1: and if he
gain that is best, and if he lose that is best?
Suppose you had a supernatural neighbor
who came in and said: “Sir, 1 wont you to
call on me in every exigency; I an vour fast
f riond: I < ould fall back on f 20,0 XI.OOO. I can
foresee a panic ten years; I hold the control
ling stock in thirty of the best monetary in
stitutions of New York; whenever you are
in trouble cad on me and l will heip you,
you can have iny money and you can have
my influence; here ii my hand in pledge lor
it " How much woul l you worry about
business? Why, } r ou would bay: “I’ll do thi
best I can, and then I’ll depend on my
friend's generosity for the rest.”
Now more than that is promised to every
Christian business man. God says to him
“l own New York and London and Bt.
Petersburg and Pekin, and Australia and
California are mine; I can foresee a pan ea
rollion years; I have all the resources of the
universe, and I am your fist lriend; when
you get In business trouble or any other
trouble, call on me and I will help; here ii
my hand in pledge of omnipotent deliver
ance.” How much should that man worry?
Not much. What lion will dare to put his
paw on that Daniel? Is there not rest in
this? Is there not an eternal vacation in
this?
“Oh,” you say, “here is a man who asked
God for a b easing in a certain enterprise,
and he lost five thousand dollars in is. Ex
plain that.” I will. Yonder is a factory,
and one wheel is going north and the other
wheel is going south, and one wheel plays
laterally an l the other plcys vert.cally. I
go to the manufacturer and! say: “O m mu
fa turer, your machinery is a contradiction.
Wiiy do you not make ail the wheals go one
way?” “Well,” he says, “I made them to go in
opposite directions on purpose, and they pro
duce the right result. You go downstairs
and examine the carpets we aio turning out
in this establishment and you will ee .” I
go down on the other iloor and I see
the carpets, and I am obliged to confess that
though the wheels in that factory go in op
posite direction# they turn out a beautiful re
mit; and while! am standing there looking
at the exquisite fabric an old Scripture
passage comes into my mind: “All things
work together for good to them who love
God.” Is there not red; in that? Is there
not tonic in that? Is there no: longevity in
that?
Suppose a man is all the tima worried
ibout bis reputation. One man says he lies,
mother says he is stupid, another says he is
iishonest. and half a dozen printing estab
lishment* attack him, and he is in a great
itate of excitement and worry and fume, and
cannot sleep: but religion comes to him and
lays: “Man, God is on your side; he will
take care of your reputation; if God be for
Foil, who can be against you?” How much
ibould that man worry about his reputation?
Not much. If that broker who some years
»go in Wall street, after he had lost money,
»at down and wrote a farewell .’et
ier to his wife before he blow his
Drains out—if instead of taking out of his
pocket a pistol he had taken out a well read

You will live twenty five yean longer under
.ts soothing power. It is not chloral that
Fou want, or morphine that you want: it is
ihe Gospel of Jesus Christ “With longlife
will I satisfy him.”
Again, practical religion is a friend of
longevity in the fact that it removes all cor
roding care about n future existence. Every
nan wants to know what is to become of
lim. If you get on board of a rail train you
want to know at what depot it ingoing to
itop; if you get on board a ship you want to

There are people who fret themselves to death
or fear of dying.
I want to take the strain off your nerves

two or three ex perimonts. Experiment first:
When you go out of this world it does not
make any difference whether you have been
good or bad, or whether you believed truth
or error, you will go straight to glory. “Im
possible.” you say; “mv common sense as
well as my religion teaches that the bed and
the good cannot live together forever. You
give me no comfort in that experiment.”
Experiment the second: When you leave this
world you will go into an inter mediate
state where you can grt converted
and prepared for heaven. “Impossible,” you
say; “as the tree falietb so it must lie, and
I cannot postpone to an intermediate state
reformation which ought to have lieen ef

And the hammer struck him, and the spears
punctured him, and heaven thundered: “The
wages of sin is death!” “The soul that sin
neth it shall die!” “I will by no means
clear the guilty?” Then there was si
lence for half an hour, and the light
nings were drawn back into the scab
bard of the sky, and the earth ceased
to quiver, and all the colors of the sky
began to shift l*i?mwives into a rainbow
woven out of the fallen tears of Jesus, and
there was red as of the blood shedding, and
there was blue as of the bruising, and there
was green as of the foliage, and
there was orange ns of the day dawn. And
along the line of the blue I siw the words:
“I was bruised for the r iniquities.” And
along the line or the red I saw tho words:
“The blood of Jesui Christ cleanseth from
all sin.” And along tho line of the green 1
saw the words: ‘ The leaves of the tree of
life for the healing of all nations. ’ And
alongtheline of the orange I saw the words:
“ The day spring from o.i high hath visited
us.’’
And then I saw the storm was over, and
tho rainbow rose higher an 1 higher, until it
seemed retreating to another heaven, and
planting one co’umn of its colors on one side
the eternal hill and planting the other column
of its colors on the other side of the eternal
hill, it rose upward and upward, “and behold
there was a rainbow about tho throne.”
Accept that sacrifice and quit worrying.
Take the tonic, the inspiration, the longevity
of this truth. Religion is sunshiny that is
health. Religion is fresh air and pure
water, they are healthy. Religion is warmth,
that is healthy. Ask ali the doctors and
they will tell you that a quiet conscience and
pleasant anticipitlOns ore hygienic. I offer
you perfect peace now and hereafter.
What do you want in tho future world?
Tell mo, and you shall have it. Orchards?
There are the trees with twelve manner of
fruits, yelding fruit every month. Water
scenery? There is the River of Life, from
under tne throne of God, clear as crystal,
and the sea of glass mingled with fire. Do
you want music? There is tho cratorio of
the Creation led on by Adam, and the orato
rio of tho Red Sea led on by Moses, and the
oratorio of the Messiah led on by St. Paul,
while tho archangel with swinging baton
controls the one hundred and forty-four
thousand who mako up the orchestra.
Do you want reunion? Th*re are your
dead children waiting to kiss you, waiting to
embrace you, waiting to twist garlands in
your hair. You have been accustomed to
open the door on this side of the sepulchre. I
open th'» door on the other side of the sepul
chre. You have been accustomed to walk in
the wet grass on the top of the grave. I show
you the under side of the grave; the bottom
has fallen out, and tho lonj ropes with which
the pall bearer let down your dead let them
clear through into heaven.
Glory bo to Ged for this robust, healthy
religion. Jt will have a tendency to make
you live long in this world, and in tho world
to come you will have eternal life. “With
long life will I satisfy him.”
Delicate and Profitable Flattery.
A young playwright took a comedy to
- well-known typewriting establishment
ind waited many days for its return. It
came uot. He wrote a letter to the pro
prietor of the place, the sent back word
that the work was not yet completed.
Another week passed and the young man
called himself. “What is the matter?”
he bru quely inquired. “Is my comedy
never to be finished?” “i’m very sorry,”
replied the lady in charge, “but really it
was your own fault. We couldn’t help
it.” Help what? What do you mean?”
ingrily inquired the author. “Well, sir,
you see,” was the answer, “I gave the
manuscript to the operators and it seemed
is though they’d never get through with
t; they were laughing as hard as they
:ould all day long. It’s a wonder they’ve
finished it now, sir.” A face all wreathed

Producing Seedless Raisins.
“What is a seedless raisin and how is
it produced?” recently queried a New
York Mail and ttx/ ress Reporter of an im
porter of fruits.
“The next time you cat a niece of
mince pie,” he replied, “you will find the
seedless raisin in it if the m< at has been
properly prepared. It is a smallish,
cream colored fruit, about the size of a
goosebeny, and is used with an unbroken
Bkin. It comes from Smyrna and is
called the Sultana. It is grown seedless
simply by arresting oneof the laws of na
ture. When the grape is about one-half
ripe the end of the vine is bent down and
buried in the ground. This prevents the
formation of seed nnd the full develop
ment of the fruit, but it ripens all the
same and has a delicious flavor. Heed

An Unconscious* Man’s Action.
Students of mental phenomena will
find something of interest to them in the
case of the Bloomington (111.) street car
driver who made a heroic fight to keep
his cash box out of the hands of thieves.
He was terribly beaten and cut about the
head, and, though knocked senseless,
managed to keep the box out of the
hands of the highwaymen. Then, so
strong was the power of habit, he, though
utterly unconscious of what he was cio
ing, completed his run and took hi*
horses to the stable, holding tightly to
the cash box the while. A strange feat
ure of the case was that when he reached
the office, iu which he seemed to have
gone purely mechanically, he refused
to give up the box, making as des
perate fight agamst the cashier as he
had made against the thieves. History
abounds with cases of unconscious per
formance of routine duties, but this case
adds to those testimony which seems to
prove that what Hume calls habit is not
neces arily an impression made by many
repetitions of the same act, but may be as
well the deep impression made by a sin
le very impressive act. —Chicago Times.

CATARRH.
A New Home Treatment for the Care of
Catarrh, Cutnrrlinl Deafness A' Huy Fever
The microscope ha* proved that these dis
eas s are contagion*, and they are due to the
presence of living parasites in the lining
membrane of the upoer air passages and
©ustachian tubes. Tne eminent scientists,
Tyndall, Huxley and Beale, endorse t his, and
these authorities cannot be disputed. The
regular method of treating these diseases hns
been t« apply an irritant remedy weekly, and
even daily, thus keeping the delicate mem
brane in a constant state of irritation, allow
ing it no chance to h*a', and as a natural
consequence of such treatment not one per
manent cure has ever been recorded. Jt is
an absolute fact that these diseases cannot be
cured by an application made of tenor than
once in two weeks; for the membrane must
get a chance to heal befc ro an application is
repeated. It is now seven years since Mr.
Dixon discovered the parasite in catarrh and
formulated his new treatment, and since
then his remedy has become a household
word in every country where the English'
language is spoken. Cures effected by him
seien years ago are cures still, there having
been no return of tho disease.
S> highly are these remedies valued that
ignorant imitators have started up every
where, pretending to destroy a parasite, of
which they know nothing, by remedies the
results of the application of which they ate
♦ qually ignorant. Mr. Dixon’s remeiy is
applied only once in two weeks, and from one
t> three applications effect a permanent cute
in the most aggravated cases.

Novel Uses for the Rabbit.
Judging by the later uses that surgery
is finding for the rabbit, depriving it of
its part.* to supply the place of diseased
tissues in human beings, Australia might
«oon begin to reckon up her rabbit popu
lation under the head of “medical sup
plies.” Dcfsctive"eyes and aching nerves
nave recently been patched with the rab
bit’s healthy tissues very much in the
way the “hallmark” of approved genuine
metal is sometimes cut out of trifling
pieces of old plate and set into much
larger articles of silverware. The point
is made for the rabbit that it is a vegeta
ble feeder, and therefore its tissues are
less subject to cause inflammation and
blood poisoning when transplanted to
the human system.— Philadelphia ledger.

“For aching back—should it be slow in re
covering its normal strength—an Allcock's
Porous Plaster is an excellent comforter,
combining the sensation of the sustained
pressure of a strong warm hand with certain
tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It
should l)e kept over the seat of uneasiness for
several days—in obstinate cases, for pet haps
a fortnight.”
“For pain in the hack, wear an Allcock’s
Porous Plaster constantly, renewing as it
wears off. This is an invaluable suppoit
when the weighton the small of the back be
comes heavy and the aching incessant.”

Liver Complaint and Indigestion
made my life a burden and came
near ending m y existence. For more
than four years I suffered untold
agony, was reduced almost to a
skeleton, and hardly had strength
enough to drag myself about. All

mentioned several physicians treated

that I took seemed to do any j>crma

of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, which has
produced ivonderful results. Soon
