TALMAGE'S SIXTH SERMON THE WOMEN OF AMERICA. TO YVircn of America Uao ToUr Inflnence for God ftiid I.ouic- Itmeiuber the feitory ol Jezebel and Aliab and Giro Net Had Advice to Your Husbands. Bf.ooelyn, Feb. 12. In the Tnbcr Rev. T. DcWitt n.if :1? this moriiin tlie TJmage, D. D., rtached the sixth of l;ia fcricaof '-Scrmojia to women of America, vit!i important liir.ts for men." The rubject was: ""Wifely Ambition, Good ard Bad," and tlie text was from I Kings, xsi. 7: '-Arise, and eat Lread, and i; t thine heart 'xi nieiTy: I will ive thee tho vineyard of Naboth." Dr. TaJmagc said: One clay T'ing Abab. looking out of the window ti his palace at Jazreel, said to his wife Jezebel: "Wo ought to have t!i':: royal gardens enlarged. If we com Id only jt that fellow, Naboth, who owns that vineyard out there, to trade or Fell, we could make it a kitchen garden for our palace." Fetch i:i Naboth," says the king to c- oof his servants. The pin in ganleuer, wondering why ho should Le called into the presence of 1.!h maie:tv, comes in. a little downcast in 1,? t .1 m f.-.i. v mil wilb rorir ilii;r.iiiit.iia ! Ill IliO ...... V.IH-1.'. H-J m. .ux'r bows to the king. 'ihe kin s:iyt: "Naboth, I want to trade vineyards with you. 1 want your vineyard for a kitchen garden, and I will give a great deal .better vineyard in pL;co cf it, or, if you prefer money for ii. 1 will give you cash." "Oil. no," enys Naboth, "I cannot trade oil my little place, nor can I sell it. It is the ol-i homestead. I got it of my father and he of -Is father, and I cannot let the old place go out of my hands." In a great state cf petulauey King Ah::b went into the house and flung him self "ii the Led ar.d turned his face to the wall in a irreat pout. His wife Je2elel rcm ftr.d she j savs: "What is -the ir.di.Ui wha vou? i Are you pick?" "Oh," he ears, "I feel very l.luo. I have set my hert on getting that kitchen grirden. and Naboth will neither trade or sell, and to bo d(-featcl by a common gardener i i more than I can stard." "Oil. .shaw," says Jezebel, "'don't go rn that way. Get up and cut your din ner and etop lMopir.g. I will get for you th.it kitchen garaen." Then Jezebel lirrowcd her husband's signet or e:d, for then, a.s now, iii thoso binds kings never signed their names, but had a ring with the royal name engraved on it, and that impressed on a royal let ter tr (lvK.-ur.ient was the signature. She Ftaii!jcd her husband's ::ame on a proc lamation which resulted in getting Na botli tried for treason against the king, an 1 two perjured witnesses swore their K 'uls away with the life of Naboth, and he was stoned to death and his proixHly came to tho crown, and so Jezebel gut for her husband and herself the kitchen garden. I Jut while the wild street dogs were rending tl.-e de:ul body of poor Naboth, Flijah, tb.c prophet, tells them of other canines that will after a while have a free banquet, saying: "Where dogs lick the Hood cf Naboth ehall dogs lick ihv Lkhxl, even thine." And, sure enough, three years after, Abab, wounded in battle, his chariot dripping with the carnage, dogs stood under it lapping his life's blood. And a little afterward Ids wife, Jezebel, who had been bis chief adviser in crime. ftands at Jehu, tho l t i tier pataee winuow and sees tncmv, approaching to take jKisscj-fuon of the palace. And, to make herself look as attractive a.3 possible and queenly to the very last, she decorated her person, and, according to Oriental ci-itom. closed her eyes and ran a Lrtte-h dipped in black powder along the long c eiathe.-?, and then from tho window t .-i-glared her indignation upon Jehu. A 3 be lode to the gates in his chariot he f i :outed to the slaves in her room : ' "Throw h down!" Rut no doubt the slaves L.dred a moment from such work f as-f-usshiation, yet, knowing Queen Jezelel could be no more to them and the con qneror Jehu wi uld be everything, as ho shouted again: "Throw her down," they feized her and bore her struggling and cursing to tho window casement, and hM.rled her forth till the came tumbling to tlio earth, striking it just in time to let Jehu's l.orecs trample her ar.d tho chariot wheels roll over her. While Jehu is inside at ths table refreshing hhn Bcif after the excitement he orders his servants to go out and bury the dead queen. Rut the wild street dog had for the third time appeared on thetceue, and they had removed all her body except thix-e prts which in all ages dogs are by a strange instinct or brutal superstition kept from touching after death tho palms cf the hands and tho soles cf tlie feet. All this appalling fcom of ancient his tory was the result of a wife's lid ad vice to a huidwnd. of a. wife's ttruggloto advance her husband's interests by un lawful means. Ahab ami Jtzelxl got the kitchen garden cf Naboth, but the dc-gs got them. The trouble all began when this mistaken wife aroused her bus band out of Ins melancholy by the words of the text: "Arise, and "eat bread, and let thine heart be merry : I will -jive thee the vineyard of Naboth.' The influence suggested by this subject is an influence you never beforo heard r ;7Tr ,V: 7 : 'V1"!

How imprtart that, every wife have her ambition, an ele vated, righteous and divinely approved ambition. i i l-t . .

I wish tliat tho experiment might be tried and settled. I would like to tec all women vote and then watch the result. I do not know tltat it would change anything fcr the better. Most wives and daughters and sisters would voto-as their husbands and fathers and brothers voted. Nearly all the families thct I know are solidly Republican or Democratic or Prohibition. Those fami lies all voting would make more votes but no difference in the result. Besides that, as now at the polls men are bought up by the thousands, women would be bought up by tho thousands. Tiie more voters tho more opportunity for political corruption. Wo have several million more voters now than are for public good. Ve are told that female suffrage would correct two evils the rum business and the insufficiency of woman's wages. Abor.t the rum business I have to say that multitudes of women drink, and it is no . unusual thing to see them in the res rraurants so overpowered with wine and beer that they can hardly Bit up, whil3 there are many so-called respectable res taurants where they can go and take their champagne and hot toddy all alone. Mighty temperance voters these women would make ! Besides that, the wives of the rum sellers would havo to voto in tho interest of their husband's business, or have a time the inverse of felicitous. . T. f . Besides that, millions of respectable and refined women in America would prob ably not vote at all, because thoy do not want to go to tlie polls, and, on the other hand, womanly roughs would ail go to the polls, and that might make woman's vote on the wrong side. There is not in my mind much prospect cf the expulsion of drunkenness by female suiirage. As to woman's wages to be corrected by woman's vote, I havo not nruch faith in tliat. "Women aro harder on women than men are. Masculine employers aro mean er.iugh in treatment of women, but if you want to hear beating down of prices and wages in perfection, listen how some women treat washerwomen ar.d dressmakers and femalo servants. Mrs. Shy lock is more merciless than Mr. Shy lock. Women, I fear, v.iil never get righteous wages through woman's" voto; and as to unfortunate womanhood, women are far more cruel and unforgiv ing than men are. After a woman has made shipwreck cf her character men generally drop her, but women do not so much drop her as hurl her with tho force of a catapult clear out an oil and down and under. I have, not much faith that woman will ever got merciful consideration and jus tice through woman suffrage, yet I liko experiments, and some of my Triends in whoso judgment I havo confidence aro so certain that alleviation would come by such process tliat I would, if I had the power, put in every woman's hand the vote. I cannot see wlat right you have to make a woman pay taxes on her property to help support city, stato and national government, and yet deny her the opportunity of helping decide who shall be mayor, governor or president. But let every wife, not waiting for the vote she may never get, or, geiting it, find it outbalanced by some ether voto not fit to be cast, arise now in the might cf the eternal God and wield tho power cf a sanctified wifely ambition for a good approximating tho infinite. No one can to inspire a man to noblo purposes as a noble woman, and no one so thoroughly degrade a man as a wife of unworthy tendencies. Wbilo in my te::t we havo illustration of wifely ambi tion employed in the wrong direction, society anu history aro lull ct instances of wifely ambition gloriously triumphant in right directions. All that was worth admiration in the character cf Henry VI wa.i a reflection of tho heroics of his wife Margaret. "William, Prince of Orange, was restored to the right path by tho grand qualities cf hi wife Mary. Just inian, the Roman emperor, confesses that hi? wise laws were the suggestion cf Lis wife Theodora. Andrew Jaclcson, the warrior and president, had his mightiest re-enforcement in his plain wife, whose inartistic attire was the amusement of the elegant circles in which she was invited. Washington, who broke tho chain that held America in foreign vassalage, were for forty years a chain around his own r.eck, that chain holding tho miniature likeness of her who had been bis greatest inspiration. whether among tho snows at alley Forge or amid dential chair. tho honors of the rresi- Piinv's pen was driven through all its poetic Rr.d historical do minions by hi? w ife Calpurnia, who sang his stanzas to the sound of the Cute, and sat among audiences enraptured at her husband's genius, herself tho most en raptured. Pericles said ho got all his cloquenco and statesmanship from Ins wife. When the wife of Grotiua rescued him from long imprisonment at Lovesteia by means cf a bookcase tliat went in and out, carrying his Looks to and fro, ho one day transported, hid den amid the folios, and the women t f besieged Weiusbcrg, getting pernussion from the victorious army to take with them o much cf their valuables as they could carry, under cover of tlie promise shouldered and took with them as the j mCf s important valuables their husbands botli aciuevements m a literal way illustrated what thousands of times lia3 been dono in a figurativo way, that wifely ambition lias been the salvation cf men. De TixxnievOlc, whoso writings will bo .:! 1 1 1. : 1 i, world lasts, ast-ribxs his successes to Ins wife, i and Favs: -Of all the blessings which iGcxl has given to me the greatest of all in mv eves is to have lighted cn Maria Motley." Martin Luther says cf his wife: "I would not exchange my poverty with l:cr for all the riches of Croesus without her." Isalellaof Spain, by her superior faith in Columbus, put into the liand cf ivnlin.nul. her husband. America. John i . , i - t-.-.i o. raid of his wife: "bhe never by wcru cr until the commissioner cf poiico coa look discouraged ire frcni running a!? aJererJ it his duty to tako hi placa is our hazards for the salvation cf my country liberties. Tlioinas Carlylo bpent the last twenty years of his life in trying by his len to atone for the fact tliat during his wife's life he never appreciated her in fluence oa his career and destiny. Aas! tliat, having taken Lei from a beautiful homo and a brilliant career, he should live buried her iu tlie ltomc of a recluse and scolded her in such language as only a dyspeptic geniu3 could manage, until, ono day while in her invalidism, riding in Hyde park, her pet !og got run over, and under the excitetaent the coachman found her dead. - Then the literary giant woke from lib conjugal injustice and wrete the lamentations cf Craigen-Put-tcck and Clieyne row. Tlie elegant and ful some epitapl.3 that husbands put upon their wives' tombstones are often an at tempt to make up for the lack of appre ciate wcrd3 thct shoukl have Leon ut tered in tho ears c-f tho living. A vvholo Greenwood of monumental inscription will not do a wife so much good after she has quiet tho world, as one plain sen tence like that which Tom Hood wrote t his living wife, when he said: 4 'I never was anything till I knew you." Oh, woman, what is your wifely am bition, noble or ignoble? Its it high social position? That will then probably direct your husband, and ho will climb and scramble and slip and fall and rise and tumble, and on what level or in wliat depth or on what height he will after a while bo found I cannot even gue?s. Tlie contest for social position is the tacit un satisfactory contest in all the world, be cause it is so uncertain about your getting it, and so insecure a possession after you have obtained it, and so unsatisfactory even if yon keep it. The whisk of a lady's fan may Llow it out. The growl cf ono bear or tlie bellowing of one Lull on Wall street may scatter it. Is the wife's ambition the political pre ferment of her husband? Th.cn that will probably direct him. What a God for saken realm is American politics thoe best know who have dabbled in them. After they have assessed a man who is a candidate for office, which he does not get, or assessed him fcr some offico at tained, and lie has been whirled round and round and round and round among tho drinking, smoking, swearing crowd who often get control of public affairs, all tliat is left of his self respect or moral stamina would find plenty of room on a geometrical point, wbie'i is said to have neither length, breadth or thickness. Many a wife has not been Hatished till her husband went into politics, but would afterward luiyo given all she p03- j scssed to get Lim out. I knew a highly moral man, useful in the church and possessor of a bright : home. He had a useful and prosperous i business, but his wife did not think it ' genteel enough. There were odors about ' the business and sometimes they . would I adhere to his garments when ho returned i at night. She insisted on his doing somcv thing more elegant, although he wa:j I qualified for no business except that in ! which ho was engaged. To please her ho changed his bu.-iness. and . in order to get on faster abandoned church attend -ance. saying after he had made a certain number of hundreds ol thousands of dollars he would return to the church and its rcrvices. Where is that family today? Obliterated. Although succeeding in business for whleh he was qualified, lie undertook a style of mer chandise for which ho had no qualifica tion and soon went into bankruptcy. His new style of business nut him into evil association. lie lost his morals 03 well as his money. lie broke up not only his own home, but broke up another man's home; and, from being a kind, pure, generous, moral man as any of you who sit here today, has become a home less, penniless libertine. His wife's am bition for a more genteel business de stroyed him and disgraced her, and blighted their only child. But suppose now there be in our homes, as thank God there aro in hundreds of homi:3 hero represented, on the wifely throno one who says not enly by her words, but more powerfully by her actions: "My husband, our destinies are united; let us see where industry, hon esty, common sense and faith in God v. iil put us. I am with you ia all your enterprises. I cannot Li with you iu person as you go to your daily business, but I will bo with you in rny prayers. Let us see what we can achieve by hav ing God in our hearts, and God in our lives, and God in our homes. Be cn the tide of everything good. Go ahead and do your best, and though everything should turn out different from what we have calculated, you may always count oa two v.ho aro going to help yen, and God ono and I am tle other." That man may have feeble health, and may meet with many obstacles and "business trials, but he is coming gloriously through, for he is re-enforced, and inspired, and spurred on by a woman's voice, as much as was Barak by Deborah, when Sisera with niao hundred iron chariots came on to crush him and his army, anel Deborah elicited in tho car of Barak : '"Up ! for this is the day iu which tho Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine liandi?." And the enemy fell back, and Siscra'a chariot, net get ting along fast enough in the retreat, tho general jumped out and took it afoot, and ran till he came to a place where a woman first gave Lim a drink of milk and then sent a spike through his skull, nailing him to the floor. Some of us could tell of what influence upon us has been a wifely ambiticn con secrated to righte-jusness. As my wife is cut of town and will not shake her ' head because I say it ia public. I will state that in ciy own professional life I have often been called of God, as I theaigkt, to ran into the very teeth rf public opinion, and all outsiders with whem I advired told me I had better not, it would ruin mo and ruin my church, and at tho same time I was receiving nice little letters threatening mo with !t- r.l r.n.l n.Lin if T rrxUt.1 . . . - ;, . - - Sabbcth services, with forty officers scattered through tho house for tho preservation of order; but ia my home there lias always - been one voice to snv: "Go ahead and diverge 1 not an inch from the straight line. Who cares if only God is on our side?" And though sometimes it seemed as if I was rcing out against COO iron cliatiots, I went abend, cheered by the domestic vc ioe: "Up! for th)3 is the day ia nhich tho liord hath delivered Sisera into thine hands." - A man is r.o belter Hum Lis wifo will let Lira lx Oh, wives of America, swing rcur scepters cf wifely influence for God nnd gr-ou homes 1 Do not urge your huc 'cr.nds to &nne2 Naboth's vineyard to your paktco cf success, whether right cr wrong, lest the dogs that come out to de--.troy Nabcih come out also to devottr vou. Righteousness wiil pay best ia lifa, will pay best ia death, wiil jay best izi die jMc-gmcnt, will pay best through all icrniiy. Tn our effort to have tho mother of very household appreciate her influence ;er her children, we aro dpt to forget '.. wife's influer.co over the husband. ;:i many households the mflucneo upon .:e husband i.; the only homo influence, -i a giTr.t multitude-! cf the best and most . porta; ;t and Uiont talented families of c C;r:i', lire have heeu no descend- at ts. Thcro fa rot a chftt or a grand child cr any remote descendant of Wash ington cr Charles Sumner or Sliakes penre cr Edmund Burke or Pitt or Lord Nelson or Cowper or Pope cr Addi-' so.i cr Johnson or Lord Chatliamor Grat tan or Isaac Newton or Goldsmith or Swift or Locke or Gibbon or Walpole or Canning or Dryden or More or Chaucer or Lord Byron or Walter Scott or Oliver Cromwell or Garrkrk or Hogarth or Joshua Reynolds or Spencer or Lord Ba con or Macaulay. Multitudes of tho liu-.t families of the earth aro extinct. As though they had done enough for the world by their genius or wit or patriot ism or invention or consecration, God withdrew them. In inuTtituelcs- cf cases a'i woman's opportunity for usefulness is with her contemporaries. How im portant that it be an improved opportu nity ! While tho French warriors, on their way to Rheims, had about concluded to give up attacking the castle at Troves, be cause it was so heavily garrisoned, Joan of Arc entered tho room and told them they would bo inside tho ccstlo in three days. "We would willingly wait sir days," said one of the leaders. SixP eho cried out. "you shall be in it to-morrow, ' ' and under her leadership on the morrow they entered. On a smaller scale every man lias garrisons to sulxluo and obstacles to level, and every wife may bo an inspired Joau cf Arc to her husband. What a r.oble, wifely ambition, the de termination, God helping, to accompany her companion across tho storm v nea of this life and together gain the wharf of ; the Celestial City! Coax him along with you! You cannot drive kiui there. You cannot nag Lim there; but you can coax Lim lhe:!o. Tliat is God's plan. He coaxes us all the way coaxes us out of our sins, coaxes us to accept pardon, coaxes us to heaven. If wo reach that blessed place it v. iil bo through a pro longed and dirino coaxing. By tho same process tako your companion, and then you will fy-'t there as well, and all your hottsrhokl. Do juet the opjwsite to your neighbor. Her wifeJy ambition is all for this worldand a disappointed cad ve;:ed and unhappy creature fho . ill be all the way. Her residence may bo better than yours for the fow years cf e-rthly sia)'. but she will move out of it as to her body into a house about fivo and a half feet long and about three feet wide and two feet high, and concerning her soul'3 destiny you can make your own prognostication. Her husband and her son and daughters, who all, like her, live for this world, will have about the same elestiny for the body and the soul. You. having had a sanctified and divinely ennobled wifely ambition, vvill pass up into palaces, and what becomes if your body 13 of no im-ortance, for it ii only a scaffolding, pulled down now that vour temn!e is done. Y'ou will stand in the everlasting rest and see your husband come in. and eco your children come in. if they have net preceded you. Glorified Christian wife ! pick up any crown you choose from off tho king's footstool and wear it; it was promised you long ago, and with it cover up all the scars cf your carlMy conflict.

It was severe winter and deer snow-, and the empress i and the prince rode ia a magnificence cf sleigh and robo and canopy never sur paTsed, followed by two thousand sleig'is iadon with tho C,t people of Russia, the wliolo length of tho distance illumined by lamps and dazzling temples built for that one night, and imitations of mosfjuea and Egyptian pyramids; and people of all nations, in oil styles of costume, standing on platforms along tho way and watching the blaze- of tho pyrotechnics. At the paiaco tho luxuries, cf kingdoms were gathered, and spread, and at the taiMo the guests had but to touch the center of a plate, and by magical ma chinery it dropped and another plat came up loaded with still richer viands.

With he khg hiicself and all tlie potentate's yourself robed and crowned, you will fit at a table compared wivh which all tlie feasts at K en ii worth, and St. Cloud and tl.o AHiambra were a btggar's crust. And the platter of one royal satisfaction touched at the center ehall disappear only to make room for a beggar' crust, and the gcidea plate cf one royal (dLfa-tion, touched ct tho center, shall disappear ly to make room for th coming up of some richer and grander regalement.

Bv Bomo misfortune he was de prived for two davs of his winter over coat, while it was in tho hands of a rcno vator (tins u net a cuphenmrn for a pawnbroker, nor yet does it mean tailor.) 1 believe that he has no ulster, and wliat had become cf his thin overcoat I don't know. Perhaps it is a trifle shabby, nnd ho was too foolishly proud to use it. At all events, during those two days ho wore no overcoat, Lut he tells mc tiiat Lc kept warm through sheer force of will. By means cf some subtle action cf mind upon body, which he finds it difflcxilt to analyze, he forced his blood to ciixmlate and his skin to retain its warmth ia a degree quite sufficient to mako up for tlie want cf an extra covering. I havo no doubt that there is quite as much in this as there is in tho mind cure, and I sup pose it 13 partly La relianco uton thfs psychological process (and partly, I un derstand, by the aid of surreiititious waistcoats and the like) tlcit certain of our young nieu surprise the world by discarding overcoats.
