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. stitutlon for good in. all Anierica, believe it is the founklatam seem) net only of the altar Of Christ, but also of the temple or noigbliorla love and also Of one national legislative hall.

It has been well said by a great writer, "The surest way to destroy nuarehy Is to being about a social condition where every man can own a. home." When ft man sits upon his own (More step he truly feels he is an American citieen. Ile Neill then, if necessary, be more willing to die for that coun- try of which his home is a part. And one of the greatest curses blasting our large cities to -clay is not that their people are bad, but that they are becoming 0 people without homes. They are Debit; for the most part in boarding houses and ill rented rooms, from which they can move out at a couple of weeks' notice, 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.

It is only with an eakir't that one recalls that "Ka" has a brother who is a useful soldier, and rendered him muoh aid on both the Nile and on the illimitable veldt. 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 the captain only of a thousand (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 the grnce of God David so 110031 111011 his name was much set by, or preci- ous (verse 30 and margin), in the eyes • of the people. The words. "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). 115. 'Wherefore Nvhen Saul saw that ho behaved himself very wisely lie was afraid of him. Sin and a guilty conscience make cowards. A dant having sinned, was afraid and sought to hide front Gird, A.brahnin woe a frai 11 that thus would kill hini for his wife's sake, and he and she consented to lie, and so also did Tsane end Rebekah (Gen. iii. 0; all, 19; xx, 11: =ad 7).

"Going out an(1 coming in" in a phrase that seems to cover all one's daily* life. When Solomon became king, lie said MR. HENRY MURRAY. The latter, however, has written some excellent novelo--"A Gitree of 1311117" and '''A Song of Sixpence" among them—and his name may be found signed to much illuminating literary: criticism in the, magazines and reviews. He lia,s also collabor- ated with his mose famous brother in certain novels and plays. Mr. David Murray, the distinguished ar- tist, is no relation to the literary brothers though Mr. David Chsistio Murray has put it on record Pleat 'hispaniiftiVe recreation is "landocape 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. If you must have a clever brother, POO tbat he takes a different name. Mr. II, Beerbohm Tree and Mr, Max Beerbohm are both the sons of a Mr. Jnlitis Beerbohm, a merchant. But, on adapting a stage cement, the elel- er tacked another name to his cog- nornen, while the lively "Max" de- clined to -` MAKE ANY CHANGE. Thus the younger can 'draw 1119 car- icatures and write 1115 sparkling ar- ticles without any dread of being mixed up with the able actor who runs His Majesty's Theatre with Such brilliant results. There is a delicious story abone the two, Mr. Max Beerbohm 01100 witalcrunee'd that he was writing some biographies of great men's brotheirs. "Let, 1110 see," said the lady to whom this was confided. "Yon are a brother of Mr. Banes:An Tree, aren't you ?" 'Yes," replied the genial Max, with superb assurance. "Heal be in the book." Ono might also note that, thanks to bearing different names, the two clever brothers Viscount Cranborno EMIT I,Orid 1-1114111 COCil, can pursue their separate careers without fear of clashing. Choice of different lines has per- . haps prevented the two lavings—H. II, cleat Latereace—from confusion. Tho elder has elected to follow in the footsteps of his mighty father, and is even now acting with great stateess in a play by Mr, Barrio at a West End theatre. Laurence de- votes himself to literature, and is already sesponsible for several acted plays, including "Bonnie Dundee," "Deter the Great," and the transla- tion of Sardou's "Dante" in which Sir Henry Trying makes his :atest ap pearn,nce.—Lonelon Answers.
