Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage Speaks
of Her Many Advantages
((Entered according to Act or the rare
itament vi tinned., in the year one
Thousand Nine Hundred and Three,
by Wm. Melly, of Toronto, at the
Papartment of asitteultuee, Ottawa.)
A despatch feom Chicago says:
Rev. Frank Do Witt Talmage
preached from the following text:
Matthew Xx„ 27, "Whosoever will
be chief among you, lot him be your
servant.'
The tremendous opportunities of
usefulness opon to a consecrated do-
mestic is the oubject, No positio
to -day accessible to a woman of Or-
dinary mental and physical capabille
ties will bring greatee returns, finan-
cially and spiritually, than that of-
fered to the average servant girl.
The gods were eupposed to have al-
lowed the beautiful queen of Cyprus
to bless her little kingdom in a
wonderful way. Every place of the
rocky Islaral which her foot might
touch would instantly be covered
with brilliantly colored flora or
with rich green verdure, Not so
does God endow any human being;
but in a better way does the fable
come true, Tho humble domestic
servant, be she cook in the kitchen,
or a guardian in the nursery, or 0
waitress in the dining room, or sim-
ply a chambermaid, may. live a life
evhich will carry frngrance wherever
it goes,
TWO CLASSES OF SERVANTS.
But this sermonic theme has its
dark side as well as its bright. It
is shadowed either by avoidance or
by slotbfulnoss—by avoidance be-
cause, in despising it and seceing
otber occupations inconveniences and
social difliculties are entailed on
others; by slothfulness because no
one can do a duty badly or care-
lessly without deteriorating in char-
acter. The kitchen or the nursery
may be a throne room, with a con-
secrated domestic servant as a
queen, or it nifty be a den of miser-
able drudgery and the scone of con-
stant bickering and discontent. In
olden times there were two classes
or servants, both male and female.
The one was that consecrated band
or workers which clearly realized
that true service, no matter how
humble, implied honor and useful-
ness. Thes doshua, great man that
he was, gladly and willingly became
the servant of Moses, and 'Ostia
was the servant of the great Elijah,
and Teliezer was the servant of Ab-
raham and Samuel of Eli. These
men keew that they, in their humble
is.phere, were working for the advance-
ment of the gorld as truly as were
their masters in their conspicuous
sphere.
Tho second close of servants was
composed - of the sullen slaves cap-
tured in war. They were, for the
most part, disgruntled and rebellious
servitors. They felt that the tyr-
aney of fate had placed the captives'
nutencles upoo their wrists, and as
soon as possible they would flee
when chance for escape offered. So
there nee women to -day serving in
tho kitchen and in the nursery who
act as if they believe that they are
thotisands of homes in our largo
cities, to say nothing of as many
more In the towns anel villages,
where the defection 00 incapacity of
the cook or housekeeper would mean
confusion and misery, A good,
honest, intelligent cook is a conser-
vator of health and happiness,
Savarin once said that he who
Invented a now sauce Was a benehne
tor to, mankind. So the cook who
brightens your table with a well or-
dered dinner and whose culinary skill
gives zest to appetite is a. benefac-
tor to the home. There aro chefs,
InallY of them, who by reason of
their skill command salaries rowel-
ing up into tlie thousands of dol-
lars. They understand tho clannis-
try of tho kitchen; they have made
a study of dietetics, and their ex -
patience is quite as valuable to their
employers as that of the skilled
Physician, There is abundant scope
for ambition in the kitchen.

WHERE WOMAN IS QUEEN.
The royal domestic is a queen, The
kitchen anti the nursery aro tho
places where God expects a wOman
naturally to serve. I have 110 use
for those masculine cynics who would
debar Newnan from the different vo-
cations of life. Home men, no mat-
ter what the genius of a woman may
be, would slam the 'door of all use-
ful means of earning an honest. Ma-
lihood in thole sisters' faces. They
say "a woman should not be a law-
yer,. a doctor, a minister, a mer-
chant, an artist, a writer or any-
thing else but a wire and a mother."
But this is what I do anent : All
things being equal, a V70111611 Ought
to seek those vocations Which aro
naturally hers and lot the MOIL 11111
those positions which naturally be-
long to them. It is not natural
for a woman to be soldier, a fire-
man, a policeman. It is not nat-
ural for her to dig in the guttee
work as CI, day laborer i 0 t he fields,
as she Is compelled to do in foreign
lands. It is not natural for her
to slave 10 11 factory or to fill many
of the clerical positions she is filling
to -day. While, on the other hand,
it is natural for her to be a nurse,
a dressmaker, a cook, a chamber-
maid, a waitress, a school teacher
and lady's companion, and hundreds
of other positions we might easily
mention.
Now, when a woman deserts the
positions for which Clod has special-
ly equipped her, what is the inevit-
able result ? Hoe work is not ouly
left endow, but she becomes a, com-
petitor against her father and broth-
ers for theirs. What is again the
inevitable result ? By the law of
:moldy and demand she sot only
underbids her brother rot' his pout -
tion, but by that bidding the Nvhole
system of weges goes down. She
Is the sufferer. Ile is the Shiffer0r.
Tho 111 18011 101 is ray reaehing. 11 is
the result of hoe turning aside from
her natural employment in which
there is pressing need of hor serail.°
and in which she could find constant
occupation at remunerative wages,
She leaves a place unfilled and forces
her scaly into a walk of Life already
overcrowdea and In wITich her cote-
potitiOn is iejurious to othor work-
ers.
THE CHRISTIAN 'DOMESTIC,
ADVA.NTAGE OF DOMESTIC
SERVICE,
Another advantage offered by do-
mestic service is. that its surround-
ings IWO purer. This statement is
not always true in reference to wo-
men who havo to work for their liv-
ing outside of the four walls of a
homo. 1Vithout they are often com-
pelled, even against their wills, to
inhale the vi tiating atmosphere of
sin. They are often compelled to
see sights which their eyes ought
nem* to behold and to hoar seyings
which ought never to bo heard and
to stand shoulder to shoulder with
moral lepers, whose sins, ii not con-
tagious, by too 1110011 association
may become fatally infectious. Here,
for instance, is rt. yoimg girl just ar-
rived from. tho country. She decides
to enter a factory and become
a day wage earner. That factory
has scores of girls whom. she would
1101,01! dare introduce to her old
Christian .mother. That young girl
within four weeks' service in that
factory has seen and heard more
wickedness than she has over known
before. Then this young girl goes
from hey factory to her boarding
house. Upon ner small salary she
cannot afford to pay a very big
board hill. Tho reseit is that she
lives in a boarding house near her
daily work. That boarding house
in. all probability has young girls in
it whose lives aro not what they
ought to be. Seeing sin by day and
necessarily seeing and hearing about
sin by night. has a hardening influ-
ence upon the young girl's soul. Of
course, the Divine Protector can and
will preserve that young country
girl true and pure and noble if she
keeps clinging to tho omnipotent
arm, but without that superhuman
aid the moral londeney for the fo-
nude worker in the factory is de. an -
ward. The life there is in some re-
spects the same as that upon the
theatrical stage, about whiel) a not-
ed actor once wrote, "The saddest
fact about my profession is that the
constant seeing of what one ought
not to see has a tendency to blunt
captured slaves. They are grumb- the moral sensitiveness an11 blind
ling against their work and meager one's eyes to his mural duty and to
pay. They aye spending ono hall of right,"
their time an finding fault with their TEMPTATION AVOIDED,
mistresses and the other half in try-
ing to find out a way of escape into
some other occupation where they
MO him more liberty anti increased
emoluments. ' As we would praise
the grand 00010 of tho consecrated
domestic, so NVO Would denounce the
evil behavior M. the "wicked and
slothfla SOVV111111.''
T1111 WORD "ROYAL,"
The word "royal" is not restrict-
ed to station. It is legitimately ap-
plied to any woman whose conduct
in her own sphere is noble and faith-
ful—conduct "which is becoming or
fitting to a queen." Nor is the fin-
ancial compensation for her service
inadequate. Her vemuneration is as
largo as any other wage earner in
proportion to the physical labor and
mental training which are required
of her,
A merchant never considera the
gross returns of his business, but
the aet. Ile says to himself;
"These goods W0r0 SOla 101. so much,
Now 1 nntat rout out my expenses—
so much for store rent, so much for
night watclanaa, so 1110011 for 0X-
p1'essago, so much for commercial
travelers, so inuell for advertising, so
much for taxes, so much for this,
and, so muelt for that and the other
thing." Then that merchant sub-
tracts the expenses front the gross
receipte, and he says, "I make so
much net." No advantage in buying
goods in a foreign market if tho
tariff laws oat up all the profits or
in raising potatoes and apples in
the Dakotas or Montana lf the rail-
road freight to bring the fruit to
the market costs more than the
gooels are worth. No financial ad -

As in arms, so in literature rend
politics. The fame of Mr. .David
Christie Murray as novelist play-
wright, aael journalist somehow
eclipses that of his talented brother,
Although Saul, humbled him to lie

(verse 18), David kept evenly on his
Way and walked wisely in the sight
of the Lord, conscious of His pres-
ence and approval. The phrase "be-
hove wisely" is the same as "pros-
per" or "have good success" (Josh.
i., 7, 8: Jer. xxiii., 5), and in Ps.
xxxii,, 8, it is "instruct." By the
Spirit of the Lord mightily upon
hien (8.>'i., 18, 11. V.) he was so in-
structed that he could say, 'I will
behave niyself wisely in a perfect
way" (Ps. ei., 2), and by the grace
of God he did. If we allow our-
selves to be affected by or come un-
der the power of people or circum-
stances, we do not prosper or behave
wisely, but to have a heart only for
Goct—that is true prosperity, liy

his name was much set by, or preci-

"The Lord was with him" (verse 12,
14 and 28), remind us of Joestpli and
his trials and that both aa slam and
prisoner the Lord was with hins and
he was a prosperous man. (Gen.
xxxix., 2, 8, 21, 23).

Sin and a guilty conscience make

The latter, however, has written
some excellent novelo--"A Gitree of

found signed to much illuminating
literary: criticism in the, magazines
and reviews. He lia,s also collabor-

Again, we see in politics that of
two brothers one must stand more
prominently in public interest.
Doubtless Mr, Gerold Balfour is 0
niost able administrator, but he
made the mistake of having Mr.
Arthur Balfour for a brother; and
it is of the Prime Minister that one
thinks when the name is mentioned
and not the statesman who was re-
sponsible for much Irish legislation,
including the act which gave local
government to the Emerald Isle.

Ono might also note that, thanks
to bearing different names, the two
clever brothers Viscount Cranborno

their separate careers without fear
