REV. DR. TALMAGE. TilE 15U00KLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY SERMON. Text: "The vnfevjned faith that is in thee, ivhieh divelt first in thy grandmother Lois." II. Timothy, i., 5. In this love l-tter which Paul, the old minister, is writing to Timothy, the young -minister, the family record is brought out. l'aul practically says: "Timothy, what a HOiwl Kiaii'lmotiier yon hal. You ought to bo I otter than most folks, because not only was your mother pood, but your "grand mother. Two preceding generations of piety ought to pive you a mighty jmsli in the r'jrht direction." The fa t was that Timothy needed encourage ment. Ho was poor in health, having a weak stomach, and whs dysjci t c. and Paul pre SoriU'd for him a to:iie, i little nine for thy etoniaeh's sake" not much wiue, but a little win:1, and onlv as a medicine. And if the wine then had b-jen as much adulterated with logwood and strychnine as our modern wines, he would not have prescribed any. l!ut Timothy, not strong physically, is en couraged spiritually by the recital of grand motherly excellence, Paul hinting to him, as I hint this day to you, that God sometimes gathers up as in a reservoir away back of the active generation s of to day a godly in-l'U'.-nce, and then in rcspons) to prayer lets dou n the power uion child ran ani grand--diildrun and great grandchildren. The world is woefully in want of a table of statistics in regard to what is the protractednessand immensity of influence of one good woman in the church and world. VTe have accounts of how much evil has been wrought by Margaret, t ho mother of critninal:i, who lived near a hundred years ago, cud of how many hundreds of crim inals her descendants furnislie 1 for thetieni tentiary and the gallows, and how many thousands of dollars they cost this country in their arraignment and prison support as well as in the properly they burg larized r destroyed. But will not some one come out with brain compre hensive enough and heart warm enough and pen keen eii -ugh to give us the facts in re gard to some good woman of a hundred years ngo, and let us knrw liow many Chris tian men and women and reformers and u e t'ul jieoplo have been found among her de scendants, and how many asylums and col leges and churches they built, and how many millions of dollars thev contributed for hu m.'Mitarian and Christian purjxxsesJ Tlio goo I women whose tombstones were planted in the lMh century are more alive tor goo I in the I'.ith century than they were before, as the good women of this li'tji cent ury will tie more alive for good in the 3 'th century than now. Mark yon, I have no idea that the grandmother's were any better than their granddaughters. You cannot get very old people to talk much about how things were when they were boys and girls. They have a reticence and a lion-committal-i.;ru which makes me think they feci them selves to bo tho custodians of the reputation of their early comrades. While our dear old folks are rehearsing t he follieo of the present, iC you put them on the witnesj stand an 1 cross examine them as to how things were seventy yeare ago the silence becomes op pressive. A celebrate I Frenchman by the name of Volney, visited this country in 17'JO, and ho gays of woman's diet in those times: "If a premium werfe. olfored for a regimen most destructive to health, none could be devised more efficacious for these ends than that in use among these- people." That eclip;es our lobster salad at midnight. Every body talks about the dissipations of modern society onI how womanly health goes down under it, but it was worse a. hundred years ago, for the chaplain of a French regiment in oar Revolutionary War wrote in ITS.', in his book of American women, saying: "They are tall and well proportioned, their features are generally regular, their complexions are generally fair uud without color. At twenty years of age the women have no longer the freshness of youth. At thirty or forty th?y are decrepit." In a foreign consul wrota a loo'; en titled: "A Skefh of the United States at f.he Commencement of Ihe Present Century," .-.n.t ne says or the wonvn ot those times: -'At tho age of thirty all their charms have dis-ippeared." One glauce at the portraits of the women a hundred years ago ami their style of dress makes us wonder how they ever got tii -ir breath. All this makes me think thatthe express rail train is no more an im provement on tho old canal loat, or the telegraph no more an improvement on the old time saddlebags, than tli9 women of our day are an improvement on the women of the last century. Put still, notwithstanding that those times were so much worse than ours, there was a clot ions race of godly women, seventy nnd a hundred years ago, who held the world back from sin" ami Jilt.-l it toward virtue, and without their exalted and sanctified influence before this the last good influence would have perished from the earth. Indeed all over this land theio ere seated to-day not so much in churci.es, for many of them are too feeble to come a groat many aged grandmothers. They sometimes feel that the world has gone past them, ami they have an idea they are of little account. Their head sometimes gets aching from the racket of the grandchildren downstairs or in the next room. They st.-ady themselves by the banisters as t hey go up and down. When they get a cold it hangs on to them longer than it used to. Theycmnot bear to have the grauchildreu punished even when they deserve it, and havt bo relaxed their ideas of familj aiseiptino tiiat tliey would spoil all tbeyoui. iters of the household by too great leniency. These old folks are the resort when great troubles come, and there is a calming and toothing power in the touch of an aged hand that is almost supernatural. They feel they are almost through with the journey of life and read the old book more than they used to, hardly knowing which most they enjoy, the Oil Testament or the New, and of ten stop and dwell tearfully over tho family record half way lietwe.n. We hail them to day whether in the house of God or at the homestead, lilessel is that household that has in it a grandmother Lois. H here she is angels are hovering round and Hod is in the room. May her last days be like those lovely autumn days that we call Indian summer. I never knew tho joy of having a grand mother; that is the disadvantage of being the youngest child of the family. The elder members only have that benediction. l'ut though she went up out of this lifo before i Itogan it, 1 have lizard of her faith in Cod, that brought all her children into the king dom and two of them into the ministry, and then brought all her grandchildren into the kingdom, myself the last knd least worthy. is it not tine that you and I do two things, swing ripen a picture gallery of the wrinkled faces and stooped shoulders of tho past, and call down from their heavenly thrones the godly grand mothers to give them our thanks, and then ixTsuado the mothers of to day that they are liviug for all time, and that against the sides of every cradle in which a cad i is rocked beat the two eternities. Here we have an untried, undiscussed a d miexplored subject. You often hear nlou your influence upon your children lam no talking about that. "What alout yourinnii ??!! ui foil the twentieth century". upon tho thirtieth century, upon the fortieth century, vpou tho year two thousand, upon Die year four thousand, if tho world I'sts so long. The world stol four thousind years before Christ came; it is not unreasonable to supjvise that it may stand four thousand years after his iTivaL Pour thousand years the world swung off in sin, four thousand ye srs it may he swinging b-i' k into righteousness. Hy the ordinary rate of multiplication of the world's popula Vion in a century your decendauts will be over three hundred, ami by two centuries at least over fifty thou 1. and upon every one of them you. th. mother of to-day, will have an influence for good or eil. And if in four centuries your descendants shall have with their names iiiled a scroll of hundreds of thousands, wili some angel from heaven to whom is given the capacity to calculate thn nnn,ber of ti e stars of heaven and the sands of the seashore, step down and tell us how many descend ant you will have in the four thousandth vear of the world's possiblo continuance? I'o t,ot let the grandmothers anv longer th'nk that they are retired, anl sit clear back out of sight from the world, feeling that thev have no relatio a '" 1 1. The mothers of the last century are to day in tho senates, the iwrlianietits, the p iia es, the pulpits; the banking houses, the professional chairs, the prisons, the alms iitmses, the company of midnight brigands,' tn& cellars, the ditches of this century, lou have l;een thinking about the impor tance of having the right influence cpon on nursery. Ton have been thinking of the Importance of getting those two little feet on the right path. You have been thinking of your child's destiny for the next eighty years, if it should pass on to be an octogenarian. That is well, but my subject sweeps a thou sand years, a million years, a quadrillion of years. I cannot stop at one cradle, I am looking at the cradles that reach all around the world and across all time. I am not talk ing of mother Eunice. I am talking of grand mother Lois. The only way you can tell th6 force of a current is by sailing up stream; or the force ot an ocean wave, by running the chip against it. Running along with it we cannot appreciate the force. In estimating maternal influence we generally run along with it down the stream of time, and so we don't understand the full force. Let us come lip to it from the eternity side, after it has been working on for centuries, and see all the good It has done and all the evil it has accomplished, multi ple I in magnificent or appalling compound interest. The different Iietween that moth er's influence on her children now, and the influence when it has been multiplied in hundreds of thousan 's of live", is the difference between the Mississippi River way u? at the top of tho continent starting from the little lake Itasca, seven miles long and one w do, and its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico, where navies might rid. Between tho birth of that river and its burial in the sea the M'ssouri pours in, and the Ohio pours in. anil the Arkansas pours in, and the lied nnd White and Yazo Rivers pour in, and all the State', and Territories lietween the Alle ghany and Rocky Mountains mi';e contribu tion. Nw. in order to test the uower of a mother's influence, wo need to come in o!T of ;he ocean of eternit y and sail toward the one rradle, and we will find ten thousand trib utaries of influence pouring in anil pouring down. But it is after all one great river of power rolling on and rolling forever. Who can fathom it! Who can bridge it? Who can stop it? Had not mothers better bs intensifying their prayers? Had they not better be elevating their example? Iiad they not better be ousing themselves with the consideration that by their faithfulness or neglect they are starting an influence which will le stupendous after the last mountain of earth is flat, and the last sea has leen dried up, and tho last flake of the ashes of a con sumed world shall have lieen blown sway, and all the telescopes of other worlds directed to the track around which our world once swung shall discover not so much as a cinder of the burned-down and swept off planet. In Ceylon there is a granite column thirty-six square feet in size, which fs thought by the natives to decide the world's continuance. An angel w;th robe spun from zephyrs Is once a cen tury to descend and sweep the hem of that role across the granite, and when by thai at trition the column is worn away they say time Trill end. But by that process that granite column would be worn out of exis tence before fiat mother's influence will be gin to give away. if a mother tell a chil l if he is not good Bomi bugaboo will come and catch him,h fear excited may make the child a coward, and the fact that he finis tnat there is no bugaboo may make him a liar, and the echo of that false alarm may be heard after fifteen i generations have been born and havoexpred. If a mother promise a cbdd a reward for good behavior and after the good behavior lorgets to give the reward, the cheat may crop out in some faithlessness half a thousan 1 yiars further on. If a mother culture a child's vanity and eu'ogize his curls and extol the night-black or sky-blui or nut-brown of the child's eyes, and call out in his presence the admiration and pride of s.jecta tors, pride and arroganco may be prolonged after half a dozen fam ily records have been obliterated. If a mother express doubt about some statemeut of the Holy Bible in a child's presence, long atier the cates of this historical era have ilosed and the gates of another era have opened, the result may le seen in a champion blasphemer. But, on the other hand, if a mother walking with a child tee a suffering one by the way Bide and says: "My child, give tnat ten cent piece to that lame boy," i he result may be seen on the other side of the follow- ( ing century in some George Muller building i a whole village of orphanages. If a mother sit almost every exiling by the trundle be I of a child and teac.i it les wvs of a Saviour's love and a Saviour's example, of tho im po:tance of truth and the horror of a lie, and the virtue3 of in- j dustry and kindness and sympathy mvi seii-sucruice. long aiaer me inoiiier nui gone and the child has gone and the lettering giiall have been washed out by the storms of innumerable winters, there may be standing, as a result of those trundle-bed lessons, flam ing evangels, world-moving reformers, weep ins: Paysons, thundering Whitefields, emanci pating Washingtons. Good or bad influence may skip one genera tion or two generations, but it will ba sure to land iu the third or fourth generation, just as the Ten Commandments, speaking of the visitation of God on families, says nothing alout the second generation, but entirely skips the second and speaks of tti6 third and fourth generation: "Visiting tho iniquities of the fathers upon the third and fourth generations of them that hate me." Parental influence, right and wrong, may jump over a generation, but it will come down further on as sure as you sit there and I stand here. Timothy's ministry was projected by his grandmother, Lois. There are men and worn n here, tho sons and daughters of the Christian Church, who are such as a result of the consecration of great great grandmothers. Why, who do you think the Lord is? You talk as though His memory was weak. He can no easier remem ber a prayer five minutes than he can five centuries. This explains what we often see some man or woman distinguished for benevolence when the father and mother were distinguished for penuriousness. or you Bee some young man or woman with a jlwid father and a hnrd mother coma mt gloriously for Christ and make heclmrchand shouts sing AndS their exhortations. We stand in corners of the vestry and whisper over tha matter and Kay: "liow is this, sucn ere at pety in sons and daughters ofsueh parental worldliness wild sin" I will explain it to you if you will leteti me theold ramily Jnble containing the full rejord. Let some septuagenarian look with me t lear upon the page of births and mar riages, and tell me who that woman was with the old-fashioned name of Jemima or JVtsy or Mehitabel. Ah, there she is, the old grandmother, or great grandmother, who had enough religion to saturate a century. I There she is, tho dear old soul, Grand mother Lois. In our beautiful Greenwood (may wo all sleep there when our work is done, for when I get up in the resurrection morning I want my congregation all about me) in Greenwood there is he resting place of George W. Bethune, once a minister of Brooklyn Height?, his name never spoken among intelligent Americans without sug cesting two things eloquence and evangel ism. In the same tomb sleeps hisgraiidmot ler, Is ileda Graham, who was the chief inspira tion of his ministry. You are not surprised at the poetry and pathos and pulpit power of t he grandson when you read of the faith and devotion of his wonderful ancestress. When you read this letter, in which she poufed out her widowe 1 soul in longings for a son's sal vation, you will not wonder that su'-'ceeding generations have b?on b'essei: With such a grandmother, would you not have a riglf to expect a George W. Bethune? in.! all the thousands oonverte 1 through ' is ministry may date the saving rower back to Isabella Graham. New York. May 21, 1791.

God fill the earth and the heavens with luch grandmothers; we must someday go op and thank these dear old souU Surtdj God win let us go up and tell them of the re mits of their influence. Among our first questions in heaven will be: 44 Where is grand mother?" They will point her oat, tor wa would hardly know her even if we had seen her on earth, so bent over with years once an i there so straight, so dim of eye through tin blinding of earthly tears and now her eye t.f clear as heaveu, so full of aches and p'ins once and now so agile with ce'estial health, Ihe wrinkles b'ooming iuto carnation rojes, and her step like the roe on ths mountains.

Go 1 bless all the aged women up' and down the lan I nnd in all lands!

Make the roa t for the last mile as smooth as you can. Hi, my! how you will miss her when she it go:ie. llow much would I give to see my mother. I have so many things I would like to t -11 her, things that have happened in the twenty-four years since slie went away. Morning, noon and night let us thank God for the good influences that have co n s down from good mothers all tiie way b;u k. Timothy, don't forget your mother Kuaice, and don't forcet vour grandmother Lois. And hand down to others this patrimony of blessing. Pass along the coronets. Make re ligion an . heirloom from generation to generation. Mothers of America, consecrate yourselves to God j.ud you will help conse.rato all the ages following! Do not dwell so much o i your hardships that you miss your chance of wielding an influence that shall look down upon you from the towers of an endlcs fu ture. I know Martin Luther was right wh 'ii he consoled his wife over th3 death of their daughter by saying: "Don't take on so, wife, remember that this is a hard world for girls." Yes: 1 gc further and say: It. is a hard world for women. Aye. I go further and say: It is a hard world for men. But for ail women and men who trust their bodies and souls in the hand of Christ tho shining gates will soon swing open. Don't yousea the sickly pallor on the sky?

The Bible tells us that with his hair gone Samson lost his strength. The Romans con sidered baldncsi a serious afllictjon and Julius Caesar was never quite satisfiel with himselt because bis o'A was bare. The face, however, is the open book, ani one can r a lily trace in its various expres sions, lines, changes and complexion the state of the system. The eve that is unusually bright and yet has a pallid brightness, the face upon whose cheeks nature paints a roso of singular beauty and Hush, more marked in contrast wdh the alabaster np-iearancj of the forehead and nose and lower part of tho face, is one of those whom the skilled physician will tell you wi lsosuj daydrealthe funereal month of March, because it is then that consumption reaps its richest harve-t. Consumption they tell us is caused by this, that ami the other thing, by micro! ei in the air, Ly micro-organisms in tho blood, by deficient nutrition, by a thousand and one thing but whatever the cause, de -ay logins with a cough and the remo ly that w ili effectually stop the cause of that cough cures the disease of the lungs. That i all lhe; is of it. T1k eon xh is an evidence of a wasting. To stop it cfr.'etuaily, a remedy must be used that will search out the c.aua. remove that and then heal the lung and do away with the cough. This is tin Kwer, siiocial to itself, pos.ssed alone by Warner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption remedy.
