LIFE WORTH LIVING._
IT 18 A LIFE FOR GOOD AND A LIFE
FOR OTHERS.
Rev. Dr. Talmage Showa How a Money Get-
_ tin`and a Worldly Life Ia a Lamentable
Failure - The Life That Opens Into
Eternity,
Washington, Sept. 12, -In this sermon
Rev. Dr. Talmage discusses a subject
vital to all, and never more timely than
now, when the struggle for power, posi-
tion, 'wealth and happiness is so absorb-
ing, The teat is James iv, 14, "What is
your life?" - . If we Ieave to the evolutionists to guess
where we came from and to the theolo-
gians to prophesy where we are going
to, we stili have left for consideration
the important feet that we are here.
There may be some doubt about where
the river rises and some doubt about
where the river empties, but there can
be no doubt about the fact that we are
"sailing on it. So I am not surprised that
everybody asks the question, "Is life
worth living?" '
Solomon in his unhappy moments says
it is not. "Vanity," ."vexation of
spirit," "no good," are his estimate.
The faot"is that Solomon was at one
time a polygamist, and that soured his
disposition. One wife makes a man hap-
py. More than one makes him wretched.
But Solomon was converted from poly-
gamy to monogamy, and the last words
he ever wrote, as -far as we can read
them, were the words "mountains of
spices." But Jeremiah says life is worth
living. In a book supposed to be doleful
and lugubrious and sepulchral and en-
titled "Lamentations" he plainly inti-
mates that the blessing of merely living
is so great and ,grand a blessing that .
though a man have piled on him all mis-
fortunes and disasters he has no right
to complain. The ancient prophet orles out in startling intonation to all lands
and to all centuries. "Wherefore doth a
living man complain?"
Conflicting Evidence.
A diversity of opinion in our time as
well as in olden time. Here is a young
man of light hair and blue eyes and
sound digestion, and generous salary and
happily affianced and on the way to be-
come a partner .in a commercial firm 'of
whiei he is an important .clerk. Ask
him whether life is worth living. He
will laugh in your face and say. "Yes, .
yes, ves !" Here is a man who has come
to the forties. He is at the tiptop of the
hill of life. Every step has been a stum-
ble and a bruise. Fhe people he trusted
have turned out deserters, and the
money he has honestly made he has been
cheated out cf. His nerves are out of
tune. He has poor appetite, and the food
he does eat does not assimilate. Forty
miles climbing up the hill of life have
been to him like climbing the Mattern
horn, and there are 40 miles yet to go
down, and descent is always more dan-
gerous than ascent. Ask him whether
life is worth living, and he will drawl
out in shivering and lugubrious and ap-
palling negative, "No, no) no 1"
How are we to decide this matter
righteously and intelligently? You will
find the same man vacillating, oscillat-
ing in his opinion from dejection to ex-
uberance, and if hp be very mercurial in
bis temperament it will depend vary
much on which way the wind blows. If
the wind blows from the northwest and
you ask him, he will say, "Yes," and if
it blow from the northeast and you ask
him he will say -"No." How are we then
to get the question righteously answered?
Suppose we pall all nations together in a
great convention on eastern or western
hemisphere and let all those who are in
the affirmative say "Aye" and all those
who are in the negative say "No." While
there would be hundreds of thousands
who would answer in the affirmative,
there would be more millions who would
answer in the negative, and because of
thegreater number who have sorrow and
'misfortune and trouble the "Noes"
would have it. The answer I shall give
will be different from either and yet it
will commend itself to all who hear me
this day as the right answer. If you ask
me, "1s life worth living?" I answer,
"It all depends upon the kind of life you
live."
In the first place, I reinark that a life
of mere money getting is always a failure
because you will never get as much as,
you want. The poorest people in this
country are the millionaires. There is
not a scissors grinder on the streets of
New York or Brooklyn who is so anxious
to make money as -these -men who have
piled up fortunes year after year in store-
houses, in government securities, in tene-
ment houses, in whole city blocks. You
ought to -see them jump when: they hear
the fire bell ring. Yoit ought to see them
in their excitement when a bank ex-
plodes. ,You ought to see their agitation
when there is proposed a reformation in
the tariff. Their nerves tremble like harp
strings, but no music in the vibration.
They read the reports from Wall street in
the morning with a concernment that
threatens paralysis or apoplexy, or, more
probably, they have a telegraph or a tele-
phone in their own house, so they- catch.
every breath of change in the money
market. The disease of accumulation has
eaten into them -eaten .into their heart,
into their lungs, into - their spleen, into
their Beer, into their bones.
Chemists have sometimes analyzed the
human body, and they say it is so much
magnesia, so much lime, so much chlor-
ate of potassium.- If some Christian
chemist would analyze one of these finan-
cial behemoths, he would find he is
made up of copper and gold and silver
and zino and lead and coal and iron.
That is not a life worth living. There
are too many earthquakes In it, too many
agonies in it, too many perdltions in it.
They build their castles, and they open
their picture galleries, and they summon
prima donnas, and they offer every in-
ducement for happiness to come and live
there. but happiness will not come. They
,send footmaned and postilioned equipage
to bring her. She will not ride to their
door. They send. princely escort. She will
not take their arm. They make their
gateways triumphal- arches. She will not
ride -under them. They sot a golden
throne before a golden plate. She turns
away from the banquet. They call to her
front upholstered balcony. She will not
listen. ° Mark you, this is the failure of
those who have had large accumulation.
And then you must take into consider-
ation that the vast majority of those who
make the dominant idea of life money
gettinghfall far short of affluence. It
estimated that only about two out of
hundred business men have anything
worthy the name of success. A man who
spends his - life with the one dominant
idea of financial accumulation spends a
life not worthliving.
Worldly Failure.
So the idea of worldly approval. If that
be dominant in a man's life, he is miser-
able. Every four years the two most un-
fortunated men in this country are the
two men nominated for the presidency.

and about midsummer these - two reser-
voirs will be brimming- full, and a base
will be attached to each one, and it will
play away on these nominees, and they
will have to stand it and take the abuse,
and the falsehood, and-- the caricature,
and the anathema, and the caterwauling,
and the, filth, and they will be rolled sn-
it and rolled over and over in it until
they are Choked and submerged and
strangulated, and at evIry sign of return-
-ing-consciousness they will be barked at
by all the hounds of political parties -from
ocean to ocean. And yet there are a hun-
dred men to -day. struggling for that priv-
ilege, and there are thousands of men
who are helping them in the struggle.
Now, that is not a life worth living. You
can get slandered and abused cheaper
than that. Take it on a smaller soale.
Do not be so ambitious to have a whole
reservoir rolled over on you.
But what you see in tile matter of
high political preferment you see in every
community in the struggle for what is
called social, position. Tens of thousands
of people trying to get, into that realm,
and they are under terrific tension. What
is social position? It ,is a difficult thing
to define, but we all - know what it is.
Good morals and intelligence are not -
necessary, but wealth, or a show of
wealth, is -absolutely indispensable. There
are men to -day as notorious for their
libertinism as the night is famous for its
darkness who emove in 'What is galled
high social position. There are hundreds
of out and out! rakes'in •American society
whose names are mentioned. among , the
distinugished guests at she great levees.
They have annexed all the known vices
and are longing for other worlds of dia-
bolism to conquer. Good morals are not
necessary in many of the exalted circles
of society. . ' .
Neither is intelligence necessary.
You find in that realm men who would
not know an adverb =from an adjective if
they met it a hundred. times in a day,
and who could not write a letter of ac-
ceptance or regrets without the aid of a
'secretary. They buy their libraries by the
square yard. only anxious to have the
binding Russian. Their ignorance is
positively . sublime, making English
grammar almost disreputable, and yet
the finest parlors open before them. Good
morals and intelligence are not necessary,
• but wealth or a show of wealth is posi-
tively indispensable. It does not make any
difference how you got your wealth, if
you only got it. The best way for you to
get into social position is for you to buy
a large amount on credit, then put your
property in your wife's name, have a
few preferred creditors and then make
an assignment. Then disappear from the
community until the breeze is over and
come back and start in the same busi-
ness. Do you not 'see how- beautifully
that will put out all the people who are
An competition with you and trying to
snake an honest living? How quickly it
will get you intohigh social position!
What is the use of _toiling 40 or 50 years
when you can by two or three bright
Strokes make a great fortune? Ah, my
friends, when you really lose your money
how quickly they will let you drop, and
-the higher you are the harder you will
drop.
Torture at a Premium.
There are thousands to -day in that
realm who are anxious . to keep in it.
There are thousands in that realm who •
are nervous for fear they will fall out of
it, and there are changes going on every
year and every month and every hour
which involve heartbreaks that are never
reported. High social life is constantly
in a flutter about the delicate question
as to whom they shall let in and whom
they shall push out, and the battle is go-
ing on -pier miner against pier mirror;
chandelier against chandelier, wine cellar
against wine • cellar, wardrobe against
wardrobe, equipage against equipage.
Uncertainty and insecurity dominant in
that realm. wretchedness enthroned, tor-
ture at a premium and a life not worth
living,
A life of sin, a life of pride, a life of
indulgence, a life of worldliness, a life
devoted to the world. the flesh -and the
devil, 18 a_ failure, a dead failure, an
infinite failure. I care nos how many
presents you send to that cradle or how
many garlands you send to that grave,

the tombstone this inscription, "Better
for that man if he had never been born."
But I shall show ;you a • life that is
worth living. A- young roan says: "1
am here. I am not .responsible for my
ancestry. Othets decided that. I am not
responsible for my temperament. God
gave me that. But here I am, in the
evening of the nineteenth century, at 20
years of age. I am here, and I.must take
an account of stock. Here I have a body
whish is a divinely constructed engine. I
must put -it to the very best uses, and I
must allow nothing to damage this rarest
of machinery. Two feet, and they mean
locomotion; two eyes, and they mean
capacity to•piok out my own way; two
ears, and they -are telephones of commu-
nication with all the outside world, and
they mean' capacity to catch sweetest
music and the vOioes of friendship, the
very best musice a tongue, with almost
infinity of articulation: Yes, hands with
which to weloonie or resist or lift or
- smite or wave or bless -hands to help
myself and help others. '
Here is a world which after 6,000 years
of battling with tempest and accident is
still grander than any architect, human
or angelic, could have drafted. I have
two lamps to light me, a golden lamp
and a silver lamp -a golden lamp set on
the sapphire mantel of the day. a silver
lamp set on the jet "mantel of the night.
Yea, I have that a years of age
which defies all inventory of valuables -
a soul, with capacity to choose or reject,
to reioice or to suffer, to love or to hate.
Plato says it is immortal. Seneca says it
is immortal. Confucius - says it is im-
mortal. An old` book among the family
relics -a book with leathern cover til -
most worn out and pages almost obliter-
ated by oft perusal -joins the other boo ks
in saying I am immortal. -I have 80
years for a lifetime, 60 years yet to live.
I may not live an hour, but. then, I
must lay out -my plans intelligently for
a long life. Sixty years added to the 20
I have already lived -that will bring me
to 80. I must remember .t at these 80
years are only a brief preface to the five
hundred thousand millions- of quintil-
lions of years which Will be my chief
residence and existence. Now, I under-
stand my opportunities and my responsi-
bilities. If there is • any being in the
universe all wise and all beneficent who
can help a man in such a juncture, I
want him. • ¶the old book found among
the family relics tells me there is a God,
and that for the - sake of his Son, one
Jesus, he will give help to a man. To
bim I appeal.- God -help me! Here I have
60 years yet to do for myself and to do
for others. I must develop this body by
all industries, by . all gymnastics, by all
sunshine, by all fresh air, by all good
habits, and this soul I must have swept
and garnished and illumined and glori-
fied by all that I can do for it and all
that I can gat God to do for.it. It shall
be a Lu1emf.fourr of fine . pictures. It
hall be an orchestra of grand har-monies:
t shall be s palace for God and righte-
ousness to reign in. I wonder how many
kind words I can uttering the next 60
years? I will try. I wonder how many
good deeds I can do in the next 60 years?.
I will try. God help me!
- The Right Direction,
That. young man enters life. He is
buffeted, he is tried, he is perplexed. A
grave `opens o this aide, and a grave
opens on that si e. He falls, but he rises
again. He gets nto a hard battle, but he
gets the vioto: The main course 'of
his life is in t e right direction. He
blesses everybo y fie comes in contact
with. God for vas his mistakes and
• makes everlasti g record of his holy en-
deavors, and at, he.. close of it. God says
to him: "Well done, good and faithful
servant.. Enter into the joy of thy Lord."
My brother, my sister, 1 do not oare
whether that 'nlan-dies at 80, 40, 50, 60;
70 or 80 years of ago. You can chisel
right under Ms name on the tombstone
these words: "His life was worth living."
Amid the hills of - New Hampshire in
olden times i herds sits a mother. There
are six children in the household --four
boys and two girls.; Small farm. Very
rough, hard work to coax a living out of
it, Mighty tug to make thdi two ends of
the year meet. The boys go to school in
winter and work the farm in summer.
Mother- is the chief presiding spirit. With
ber hands she knits all the stockings for
the little feet, and sho' is the mantua
maker for the boys, and she is the mil-
liner for the girls. There is only one
nulsioal instrument in the house -the
spinning wheel. The food is very plain,
but it is always well provided, The win-
ters are very cold, but are kept out by
the blankets she quilted. On Sunday,
when she appears in the village church,
her children around her, the minister
looks down and is reminded of the -Bible
description of a good housewife, "Her
children arise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praiseth her."
Some years go by, and the two oldest
boys want a collegiate' education, and
the household economi* s are severer, and
the calculations are: loser, and until
those two boys get the "r education -there
is a bard battle for bred. One of these
boys enters the university, stands in a
pulpit widely influential and preaches
righteousness; judgment and temper-
ance, and thousands during his mipistry
are blessed. Tho other lad who got the
collegiate oduoation goes into the law
and thence into legislative halls, and
after awhile he commands listening sen-
ates as he makes a plea for the down-
trodden and the outcast, One of the
younger boys becomes a merchant, start-
ing at the foot of the ladder. but climb-
ing on
limb-ingon up until hissuccess and his phil-
anthropies are recognized all over the
land. The other son stays at home be -
'cause he prefers farming life, and then
he thinks he will be able to take care of
father and mother when they get old.
Of the two daughters, when the war
broke out one- went through the hospi-
tals of Pittsburg Landing and Fortress
Monroe,. cheering up the dying and the
homesick, and taking the last message
to kindred far away, so that every. time
-Christ thought of her he said as of old,
"The same is my sister and mother."
The other daughter has a bright home
of ber own, and in the afternoon, the
forenoon having been devoted to her
.household, she goes forth to hunt up the
sick and to, encourage the discouraged,
leaving smiles and benediction all along
the way.
But one day there start five! telegrams
from the village for these five absent
ones, saying: "Come. Mother is danger-
ously ill." But before they can be ready
to start they receive another telegram,
saying: "Come. Mother is dead." 9 The
old neighborhood gather in the old farm-
house to do the last offices of respect,
but as that farming son, and the clergy-
man, and the senator, and the merchant,
and the two daughters stand by the
casket of the dead mother taking the
last look or lifting their little children to
see once more the face of dear old grand-
ma I want to ask that group around the
oasket one question, '+' Do you really
•think her life was worth living?" .A lite
for God,,.a life for others, a life of un-
selfishness, a useful life, a Christian life,
Is always worth living. .
The Door of Eternity.
I would not find . it hard to persuade
you that the poor lad, Peter Cooper,
making glue for a living and then
amassing a great fortune until he could
build a philanthropy which has had its
echo in 10,000 philanthropies all over the
country -I wouldnot .find 1t hard to
persuade you that llis life was worth liv-
ing. Neither would • I find it hard to
persuade you that the life of Susannah
Wesley was worth living. She sent out
one son to organize Methodism and the
other son to ring his anthems all through
the ages. I would not find it hard work
to persuade you that the life of Frances
Leere was worth living, as she established
in England a school for the scientiflo
nursing of the sick, and then when the
war broke out between France. and Ger-
many went to the front, and with her
own hands sorapeed the niud off the
bodies of the soldiers dying in the tren-
ches, and with her weak arm --standing
one night in the hospital -pushing back
a German soldier to his couch, as, all
frenzied with .his wounds, he rushed to
the door and said, "Let me go,.letme -go
to my Liebe mutter," major' generals
standing back to let pass this angel'of
mercy.
Neither 'would I have hard work to
persuade you that Grace Darling lived
a life wort living -the heroine of the
lifeboat. Y u are not wondering that the
Duchess of Northumberland came to see
her. and that people - of all lands asked
for her lighthouse, and that the proprie-
tor of the Adelphi theater in London
offered her 4100 a night just to sit in the
lifeboat While some shipwreck scene was
being enacted. _
But I know the thought in -the minds
of hundreds of you to -day. You say,
"While I know all these lived lives worth
living, I don't think my life amounts to
much." Ah, my friends,_ whether you

it is worth living if you live aright, and
I want my next sentence to go down
into the. depths of all your souls. -You
are to be rewarded, not according to the
greatness of your work. but according to
the holy industries with which you em-
ployed the talents you really possessed.
The majority of the crowns of heavens
will not be given to people with ten tal-
ents, for 'most of then were tempted
only to serve themselves. The vast major-
ity of the crowns of heaven will be given
to people who had one talent, but gave
it all to God, and remember that our
life here is introductory to another. It is
the vestibule to a palace, but who de-
spises the: door of a Madeleine because
there are grander glories within? Your
life if rightly lived; is the first bar of an
eternal oratorio, andwho despises the
first note of Haydn's symphonies? And
the life you, live now is all the more
worth living because it opens into a life
that shall never end, .and the last letter

Japanese lanterns are J also suspended
Pool the .ceiling by cords or to wall
brackets with protrding arms.
These lanterns 'a a trifle more ex-
pensive than the the p.ones used in out -
'door illumination. They are made of
paper, decorated as formerly, butare
lined with mica, and the candle socket-
in fact, the entire bottom -is made of
painted tin.
Hung in the hallways along the stairs.
in the drawing room or wherever a very
mild light is needed, these lanterns are
delightful. The candles :within them are
cheap, throw out a minimum of heat,
and do not attract insects, all of which
are high recoinlnendations for service on
warm evenings. : Attention and conse-
quently vast improvement has been given
to the humble bedroom 'candle we are all
advised to use in place of gas or lamps,
when the mercury climbs very high, and
instead of turning on the gas one will be
enabled to read music at the piano by
cool candlelight.
For the piano, too, light brackets.
easily fastened to any instrument, jut
out from' either side of the' music rack
and hold a candle each. Their shades are
made of silk on strong' frames and are
cut open en that side turned toward the
music sheet, but away from the musician.
Under the silk screen is also fastened
a shall reflector. so 'distributing Iight
and shade where it is needed. The bed-
room candles, which fasten into brackets
at either side the dressing table mirror,
-are similarly equipped, throwing broad
rays on the looking glass, . but shadows
into the room. -
Two Types of Christian'Womanhood.
There are two Christian women. We
know them both. They are good, true
and faithful, each to her sphere. One
attends conventions, _makes missionary
addresses, manages societies and collects
a vast amount of money for missionary
and church enterprises. She is doing a
great work for God and humanity, and
many heathen .hoines are transformed
through her labors. I know another
woman, timid and shrinking from public
gaze. - You never see her -name among
the delegates to religious conventions,
nor see an account of an able paper that
she has .read before some religious body
for the simple - reason •that she hasn't
read any papers; but I have met her
many a time by the sick -bed of the poor
and destitute, sitting up 'with 'the sick
who had no friends, night after night,
and out of her own slender' means pro-
viding food for the hungry, medicine for
the sick, clothing for half -naked children.
No ono except her pastor knew anything
of it, yet she also was doing a great work
for God and for humanity.
Not From Heaven.
Thirty years ago a steamer which was
about to make its first paasage from one
'Southern city to another was -the scene
of an evening reception, ae which a cal-
liope played an Important part.
It was the first instrument of the sort
which had ever beer! heard in that region,
and as its peculiar, far-reaching notes
floated out on the evening air, the breasts
of a large part of the colored population
were 1111ed with alarm. Many were the
conjeotures as to the sourcee from which
the unearthly sound proceeded.
One old darky stood listening in silence
for some time in his doorway, not -far
from the scene of the festivities. At last
he spoke in encouraging tones to the
frightened group gathered near the little
"I tell you what," hp said, slowly, "I
don' b'lleve dat am Gabriel a-playin on
his tromp; but if it ain Gabriel, he's
playing Wait for de Wagon, sure's die
chile's got ears!"
The Real Work.
The real work before the Christian
church to -day is to show that, while the
gospel of love has displaced the gospel of
fear, it has done ea in the interest of
higher Chrlitian living. In the past the
gospel of fear restrained men and some-
how at the same time produced men
whose lives were filled with reverence
and hope and holiness. The gospel of
love, if rightly proclahned, must lead to
a profounder reverence, to fuller and
purer hopes and to greater holiness.
Otherwise it were better to return to the
old gospel of fear. The freedom of this
new gospel is not a throwing off of the
restraints In life, but a putting. of ins -
pulses to right in their place; it: is the
freedom of the sons of God. The call is
to a freedom in which we can honor God
best by serving man most.

Daughter -Yes, sir.
Pa -Well, to tell the, .truth, I don't
think there is Much push in him.
Daughter -Indeed! Wel), I will agree
with you. .A little more push Would im-

-On Monday of last week while Messrs.
E. J. Smith and T. Hepburn of Stratford,
were driving in the neighbcirhood of Mr.
Wanzell's market garden, they accidently
collided with a rig clriven by Mr. William
Mocklin, who was driving towards the city.
In the deazling light Mr. 13inith . did not see
the approaching rig and as a result of the
collision the shaft of Mr. Macklin's buggy
penetrated into the shoulder of Mr. Smith's
horse killing him almost instantly. Mr.
Macklin's horse, too, was Severely injured,
a shaft striking its shoulder also. -
If we told you that your
baby was starving, that it
actually didn't get enough
to eat, you might resent it.
And yet there are thousands
of babies who never get the
fat they should in their food
or who are not able to digest
the fat that they do get. Fat
is at- necessity to your baby.
It is baby life and baby
beauty. A. few drops of
Scott's Emulsion for all little
ones one, two and three
years of age is better than
cream for them. They
thrive and grow on it.
