SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED
DIVINE.
Subject: "Our Own Time" How We Can
Serve Our Generation Our Responsi
bilities Chiefly Withhe People Now
Abreast of Us Help Your Neighbors.
Text: "David, after he had served his
own generation by the will jot God, foil on
sleep." Acts xlii., 86. '
That is a text which has for a long time
been running through my mind. Sermons
have a time to be born as well as a time to
die; a cradle as well as a grave. David,
cowboy and stone sllnger, and fighter, and
dramatist, and blank-verse writer, and
prophet, did his best for the people of his
time, and then went and laid down on the
southern hill of Jerusalem in that sound
slumber which nothing but an arohangelic
blast oan startle. "David, after he had
served his own generation by the will of
God, fell on sleep." It was his own 'gen
eration that he had served; that is, the peo
ple living at the time he lived. And have
you ever thought that our responsibilities
are chiefly with the people now walking
abreast of us? There are about four genera
tions to a century now, but in olden time,
life was longer, and there was, perhaps,
only one generation to a century.
Taking these -facts into the cal
culation, I make a rough guess,
and say that there have been at least one
hundred and eighty generations of the
human family. With referenoe to them we
have no responsibility. We cannot teach
them, we cannot correct their mistakes,
we cannot soothe their sorrows, we cannot
heal their wounds. Their sepulohres are
deaf and dumb to anything we might say
to them. The last regiment of that great
army has passed out of sight. We might
halloo aa loud as we could; not one of them
would avert his head to see what we
wanted. I admit that I am In sympathy
with the child whose father had suddenly
died, and who In her little evening prayer
wanted to continue to pray for her father,
although he bad gone into heaven, and no
more needed her prayers, and looking up
into her mother's facs, said: "Ob, mother,
I cannot leave him all out. Let me Bay,
thank God that I had a good father once,
so I can keep him In my prayers."
But the one hundred and eighty genera
tions have passed off. I.'assed up. Passed
down. Gone forever. Then there are gen
erations to come after our earthly exis
tence has ceased. We shall not see them;
we shall not hear any of thjir voices; we
will take no part in their convocations,
their elections, their revolutions, their
catastrophies, their triumphs. We will in
no wise affect the 180 generations gone or
the 180 generations to come, except as
from the galleries of heaven the former
generations look down and rejoice at our
viotories. or as we may, by our behavior,
start influences, good or bad, that shall
roll on through tbe advancing ages. But
our business is, like David, to serve our
own generation, the people now living,
those whoso lungs now breathe, and whose
hearts now beat. And, mark you, it is not
a silent procession, but moving. It is a
"forced march" at twenty-four miles a
day, each hour being a mile. Going with
that celerity, it has got to be a quick ser
vice on our part, or no servioe at all. We
not only cannot teach the 180 generations
past, and will not see the 180 generations
to come, but this generation how on the
stage will soon be off, and we ourselves
will be oft with them. Tae fact is, that you
and I will fcave to start very soon for our
work, or it will be ironical and sarcastic
for anyone after our exit to say of us, as it
was said of David, "After he had served his
own generation by the will of God, he fell
on sleep."
Well, now, let us look around earnestly,
prayeriully, In a common-sense way, aud
see what we can do for our own genara
tlon. First of all, let us see to It that, as
far as we oan, they have enough to eat.
The human body is so constituted that
three times a day the body needs focd as
much as a lamp needs oil, as much a? a
locomotive needs fuel. To meet this want
God has girdled the earth with apple
orchards, orange groves, wheat Holds, and
oceans full of Ash, and prairies f,ull of cat
tle. And notwithstanding this, I wiii un
dertake to tay that the vast majority of
the human family are now suffering either
for lack of food or the right kind of food.
Our civilization is all askew, and God
only can set It right. Many ut the great
est estates of to-day have been built out of
the blood and bones of unrequited toll. In
olden limes, for the building of forts and
towers, the inhabitants of Ispahan had to
contribute 70,000 skulls, and Bagdad 90,0(0
human skulls, and that number of peoplu
were compelled to furnish the skulls. But
these two contributions added together
made only 160,000 skulls, while in tbe
tower of the world's wealth ana
pomp have been wrought the skele
tons of uncounted numbers of
the half-fed populations of the earth
millions of skill's. Don't sit down at your
table with five or six course of abundant
supply and think nothing of that family in
the next street who would take aoy one of
those five courses between soup and al
mond nuts und feel they were in Heaven.
The lack of the right kind of food is the
cnu oof much of the drunkenness. After
drinking what many of our grooers call
coffee, sweetened with what manv call
6ugar, and eating what many of our butch
ers call mtat, and chewing what many of
our bakers call bread, many of the labor
ing class feel so miserable they are tempted
to put into their nasty pipes what the
tobaoconist calls tobaooo, or go into tbe
drinking saloons for what the rum sellers
call beer. Good coffee would do much in
driving out bad rum.
How can we serve our generation with
enough to eat? By sitting down in em
broidered slippers and lounging back in an
arm-chair, our mouth puckered up around
a Havana of the best brand, and through
clouds of luxuriant smoke reading about
political economy and the philosophy ef
strikes? No, nol By finding out who in
this city has been living on gristle, and
t sending them a tenderloin beefsteak. Seek
'out some family, who through sickness or
conjunction of misfortunes have not enough
to eat, and do for them what Christ did for
the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, mul
tiplying the loaves and the fishes. Let us
quit the surfeiting of ourselves until we
oh.ii not choke down another crumb of cake,
and begin the supplies of others' necessi
ties. So far from helping appease the
world's miDger are those whom Isaiah de
scribes ns grinding the faces of the poor.
You have seen a farmer or a meohanie put
a scythe or an axe on a grindstone, while
some one was turning it round and roun4
and tbe' man holding the axe bore on it
harder and harder.wLile the water dropped
from the grindstone and the edge of the
axe from being round and dull, got keener
and keener. So I have seen men who were
put up against the grindstone of hardship,
and while one turned the crank, another
would pre.s the unfortunate harder down
and harder down until he was ground away
thinner and thinner his comforts thinner,
his prospects thinner, and his face thinner.
And Iaiah shrieks out: "What mean ye
that ye grind the faces of the poor?"
It is an awful thing to be hungry. It is
an easy thing for us to be in good humor
with all the world when we have no lack,
But let hunger take full possession of us,
and we would i.ll turn into barbarians and
cannibals and fiends. Suppose thatome
of the energy we are expending in useless
and unavailing talk about the bread ques
tion should be expended In merciful alle
viations. I have read that the battlefield
on wbioh more troops met than on any
other in the world's history was the battle
field of Lei psia 160,000 men under Na
poleon, 250,000 men under Bchwarzeberg.
No, no! The greatest and most terriflo
battle is now being fought all the world
over, It is the battle for bread. The
ground tone of the finest passage of onu of
, f ,., IT , ., I m ntif.iri P i t'lfl flflo
the hungry populaoe of Tlenna as the ling
rode through and they shouted, "Bread!
Give us bread!" And all through th
great harmonies of musical academy and
catneurai i near me pacnos, tne groun
lone, tne trageay or uncounted multi
tudes, who, with streaming eyes and waa
cheeks and broken hearts, in behalf o
themselves and their families, are plead
ing for bread. .
Lot us take another look around and see
how we may serve our generation. Let us
see, as far as possible, that they have
enough to wear. God looks upon the
human raoe, and knows just how many in
habitants the world has. The statistics of
the world's population are carefully take
in civilized lands, and every few years
officers of the government go through
the land and oount how many peo
ple there are in the United States or
England, and great accuraoy is reaohed.
But when people tell us how many inhabit
ants there are in Asia or Africa, at best it
must be a wild guess. Yet God knows the
exact number of people on our planet, and
He has made enough apparel for each, and
if there be fifteen hundred million, fifteen
thousand, fifteen hundred and fifteen peo
ple, then there is enough apparel for fif
teen hundred million, fifteen thousand, fif
teen hundred and fifteen. Not slouchy ap
parel, not ragged apparel, not insufficient
apparel, but appropriate apparel. At least
two suits for every being on earth, a sum
mer suit and a winter suit. A good pair
of shoes for every living mortal. A good
coat, a good hat, or a good bonnet, and a
good shawl, and a complete masouline or
feminine outfit of apparel. A wardrobe for
all nations, adapted to all climates, and
not a string or a button or a pin or a hook
or an eye wanting.
But, alas! where are the good clothes for
threfourths of the human raoe? The
other one-fourth have appropriated them.
The fact Is, there needs to be and will be,
a redistribution. Not by anarchistic vio
lence. If outlawry had its way, it would
rend and tear and diminish, until, Instead
of three-fourths of the world not properly
attired, four-fifths would be in tags. I will
let you know how the redistribution will
take place. By generosity on the part of
those who have a surplus, and increased
industry on the part of those suffering
from deficit. Not all, but the large majority
of cases of poverty la this country are a
result of idleness or drunkenness, either
on the part of the present sufferers or their
anoestors. In most cases the rum jug is
the maelstrom that has swallowed down
the livelihood of those who are in rags.
But things will change, and by generosity
on the part of the crowded wardrobes, ana
industry and sobriety on the part of the
empty wardrobes, there will be enough for
all to wear.
Again, let us look around and see how
we may serve our generation. What short
sighted mort"'i we would be if we were
anxious to c. lie and feed only the most
insignificant part of a man, namely, his
body, while we put forth no effort to clothe
and feed and save his soul. Time is a little
piece broken off a great eternity. -What are
we doing for the souls of this present goner
atlon? Let me say it is a generation worth
saving. Most magnificent men and women
are In it. We make a great ado about the
improvements in navigation, and in locomo
tion, and in art and machinery. We remark
what wonders of telegraph and telephone
and the stethoscope. What improvement Is
electric light over a tallow candle! But all
these Improvements are insignificant com
pared with the improvement in tne numaa
race, in olden times, once in a wmie, a great
and good man or woman would come up,
and the world has made a great fuss about
it ever since; but now they are so numer
ous, we scarcely speak about them. We put
a halo about the people of the past, but I
think if the times demanded them, it would
be found we have now living in this year
1893 fifty Martin Luthers, fifty George
Washingtons, fifty Lady Huntlngdons, fifty
Elizabeth Frys. During our Civil War
more splendid warriors in North and South
were "developed in four years than the
whole world developed in the previous
twenty years. I challenge the 4000 years
before Christ to show me the equal of
charity on a large scale of George Pea
body. This generation of men and women
is more worth saving than any one of the
130 generations that have passed off.
Where shall we begin? With ourselves.
That is the pillar from which we must
start. Prescott, the blind historian, tells
us how Pizarro saved his army for the
right when they were about deserting him.
With his sword he made a long mark on
the ground. He said: "My men, on the
north side are desertion and death; on the
south side is victory; on the north side
Panama and poverty; on the south side
Peru with all lt3 riches. Choose for your
selves; for my part I go to the south."
Stepping across the line one by one his
troops followed, and finally his whole
army.
How to get saved? Be willing to acoept
Christ, and then accept Him instantane
ously and forever. Get on the rock first,
and then you will be able to help others
upon the same rock. Men and women have
been saved quicker than I have been talk
ing about It. What! Without a prayer?
Yes. Whatl Without time to deliberately
think It over? Yes. Whatl Without a tear?
Yes, believe. That is all. Believe whatt
That Jesus died to save you from sin and
death and Hell. Will you? Do you? You
have. Something makes me think you have.
New light has come Into your countenances.
Welcome! welcome! Hail! Hail I Saved
yourselves, how are you to save others? By
testimony. Tell It to your family. Toll it
to your business associates. Tell it every
where. We will successfully preach no
more religion, and will successfully talk no
more' religion than we ourselves have. The
most of that which you do to benefit the
souls of this generation you will effect
through your own behavior. Go wrong,
and that will induce others to go
wrong. Go. right, and that will in
duce others to go right. When the
great Centennial Exhibition was being held
in Philadelphia the question came up
among the directors as to whether they
should keep the exposition open on Sun
days, when a director, who was a man of
the world from Nevada arose and said, his
voice trembling with emotion, and tears
running down his cheeks: "I feel like a re
turned prodigal. Twenty years ago I went
West and Into a region where we had no
Sabbath, but to-day old memories come
back to me, and I remember what my glori
fied mother taught me about keeping Sun
day, and I seem to hear her voice again
and feel as I did when every evening I
knelt by her side in prayer. Gentlemen, I
vote for the observance of the Christian
Sabbath," and he oarried everything by
storm, and when the question wasj put,
"Shall we open the exhibition on the Sab
bath?" it was almost unanimous, "No,"
"No." What one man can do if he does
right, boldly right, emphatically right!
I confess to you that my one wish is to
serve this generation, not to antagonize
it, not to damage it, not to rule it, but to
serve it. I would like to do something
toward helping unstrap its load, to stop its
tears, to balsam Its wounds, and to induce
it to put foot on the upward road that has
as its terminus acclamation rapturous
and gates pearline, and garlands ama
ranthine, and fountains rainbowed, and
dominions enthroned and coroneted, for X
cannot forget that lullaby in the closing
words of my text: "David, after he had
served his own generation by the will of God,
fell on sleep." What a lovely sleep it was.
UnflHal Absalom did not it rable it. Ambi
tious Adonijah did not worry it. Persecut
ing Saul did not harrow it. Exile did not
fill it with nightmare. Since a red-headed
boy amid his father's Hooks at night, he
had" not had such a good sleep. At seven
ty years of ag he laid down to It. He had
had many a troubled sleep, as in the cav
erns of Aduam, or in the palace at the
time his eneedes were attempting his cap
ture. But ".his was a peaceful sleep, a
calm sleep, i, restful sleep, a glor'ouf sleep.
"After he hud served his generation by the
will of God. he foil on sleep."

One of the most earnest members of the
corps at Byron, 111., Is Mrs. James House
weart, but illness onoe put a stop to her
active work. A year or so ago, when she
was nearlng fifty yeirs of age, the time
when women must be most careful of their
strength, Mrs, Houseweart was taken
seriously ill. The family physician told
her that she had reached a oritical period
of her life, and must.be very careful.
His prescriptions and treatment did not
benefit her, and other treatment proved un
availing. At last Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with
Indisputable evldenoe that they were help
ful in cases suoh as hers, and with renewed
hope she tried the remedy. Last March
she took the first box of the pills, which
gave much relief. She was determined to
be cured, and kept on with the medicine,
until now eight boxes have been consumed,
and she feels like a new woman.
Mrs. Houseweart said: "I have taken
only eight boxes, but I have been improv
ing since I took the first dose. I do not
believe I could have lived without the
pills. They certainly have done me more
good than any physioian or any medicine I
have ever tried."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold in boxes

Deafness Cannot Be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous liningofthe
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness I the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed rondition of the mucous surfaces.

The Order of the Knights of Ban
neret was a degree of knighthood
formerly existing in England and
Franoe, which was given on the field
of battle in reward for the perform
ance of some heroio act. It was so
called because the pennon of the
knight was exohanged for the banner,
a proceeding which was effected by
rending the points from the pennon.
The ceremony of the creation of a
Knight Banneret was .very impressive.
The king, or his general, at the head
of his army, drawn up in order of
battle after a victory, under the royal
standard displayed, attended by all
the officers and nobility of the court,
received the banneret-elect, who was
not necessarily a knight previously, led
between two knights of note, or other
men famous in arms,, carrying his
pennon in his hand, the heralds walk
ing before him and proclaiming his
valiant achievements for which he
deserved to be made a Knight Ban
neret, and to display his banner on

Rats aa a Hair Tonic.
A Chinese gentleman advocates the
use of the rat as an article of diet, and
makes the following remarks on its
properties "as a hair restorer: "What
the carrot is to a horse's coat a rat is
to the human hair. Neither fact can
be explained, but every horseman
knows that a regimen of carrots will
make his stud as smooth and lustrous
as velvet, and the Chinese, especially
the women, know that rats used as
food stop the falling out of hair and
make the locks soft, silky and beauti
ful. I have seen it tried many times,
and every time it succeeded." Med
