NUNCIATIONS COME BACK. BREEZY, SERMON OF CHEER Stirring Note of Arousal and Fresh Encouragement to Those Who Are Disposed to Sink in the Battle of Life and to Give Way 'to Unavail- ing Regrets—World Has No Use For Pesci mists. • • ' Entered according to Act of Parliament ofCanada in theyear i903, by Frederick 7) ver of Toronto, at the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Les Angeles. Col., Dec this sermon -the preacher sounds a stirring note of arousal and fresh enconrage- ment to those who are disposed te sink In the battle of life and to give way to unavailing regrets. The text is II. Sam- uel xix., 1&,' "So the king returned and earne to Jordan." , The world has no use or the com- mon scold. When univerdal fault find- ers can see nothing but shortcomings in their fellow men they are apt to de- nounce sins similar to those to which they themselves are addicted. eWhat is the matter With you?" the clapper asked the cracked bell in the old leg- end. "You utter nothing but discords. .You are no good to anybody." "Yes," answered the bell, "that may be true. But what are you complaining about? Was not my metal all right valeta you pounded a crack in My side? And:fur- thermore, would not the world think 1 was all right now if you did not con- tinue to pound me and advertise .mY weaknesses?" So it often happens that the people who are most active in de-. flouncing the weaknesseseof others' are' really denouncing the evil results of which they themselves are the direct or indirect- causes. Like a. boomerang, their complaints fly in a circle. They strike back at the Very lips which seart- ed those complaints on their evil flight. The world has but little use for the common scold. It has also little use for those who do not peed the danger signals of life which arelifted all about them. It has unutterable contmapt for filet -pilot who will not steer awe& from • the buoys marking the dangerous refs or for the engineer who will 'npt stop :leis locomotive when the warning tor- pedo is exploded under his wheel, ore for the sea captain who will not keep his • eye upon the falling barometer when the ship Is drawing ,near the ice- berg regions, or` for the physiedan who e does not keep a. careful record of the patient's fever, or for the statesman who does not ferret .out and check the " evils skulking behind the pillars of the ,legislative halls. There is no sense in ;declaring that the sun is shining when a tornado is battering down the bar- taests and knocking the unripe fruit off :the swaying branches. It is no sign of great virtue to be always looking upeii the bright side of things when condi- tions about us are all askew and could be Made right if we would only go !forth to grapple with the wrongs and scatter the. causes 'which are bringing ;forth evil results. Gen. Joab was not a common scold; neither was he one of those wishy washy, effeminate, pusillanimous char- acters who are afraid to say that their souls are 'their own. He could speak out boldly and bravely when it behoov- ed him so to speak. When the king -did right, Saab was ready to say, "Thou -art right, 0 my' king."- When the king did wrong, Joab was also ready to say, -"Thou are wrong, 0 mer king." 'And because he was ready to denounce the king's follies just as emphatically .as he was to praise the king's virtues he was able to exercise the far-reach- ing influence on David's life that is described in the chapter of my text. In the first place, the iconoclast open- ed the leyes of the king to the many blessings with which he was surround- ed. With one herculean blow Joab shattered the idol of the tang's grief and maae him atop worshipping at the shrine of his waywaia son's ,grave. With the keen, sharp words of a friend he went into the royal bedroom, and cut and slashed that eveeping parent with his verbal stiletto 'until at last the king realized that even a father has no rightto spend a lifetime bemoaning a dead Absalom if by such a course he is doing an Injustice ta hie living friends. Ana --et, my brothers, how many men I and N.'mien there, are Just like David! They never seein to be able to turn .their weeping eyes away from the fie :ens of a tornbetone. They never seem to be able to see the laughing eyes and the smiling ripe or to hear the loving a-ords of those who are living for them In the nueseries and, sitting rooms of their own ;homes. The greatest battle of David's career was over. 'It was an awful ftght. Dur- ing the hours of that day the kin's TffinellIMINUMMIST. ges.N.

Lever Brothers Limited, Toronto 164 throne had been tottering union Its foundations. As Alfred the Great had a to flee his capital when, lie was defeat- ed by the Danes at Athelney, and as Roberb Brace *as an exile in Ireland for six long years before he came back to his Scottish throne, and as Charles II. was a wanderer upon the face of the earth when Cromwell was dictator at Westminster, so Xing David, on account of the ;uprising of his son Ab- salom, was a fugitive from bis Jerusa- lem palace. It -was not a mere playful squat which had istreele his ship of state. It was a tornado, which was ripping, the sails and making the gun- wales Sing under the foaming, raging biliows,- King Da-vid's head was in danger, and the -whole royal family were menaced by the insurrection of which this diSsotute prince was the leader. The young princes in the Lon- -don Tower rnet the same kind of a fate which Prince Absalom had plan- ned out for his royal sire, but no soon - ter did the king's friends rally to his standard and at the risk of their for- tunes and their- lives fight the king's battles and win ,back for him his throne and kill the young prince than the king closed his eyes ,to all his ?Heroes' sacrifices. All lig did wasto ' sit in his room and weep and moan and. wring his hands and cry:. "Oh, Absalom, my son, my son, my pocir dead boy! Oh, Absalom, my son, my son, my poor boy!" He kept this cry- ing and wailing up for hours and'dass. At last Joab -heard of the king's in - /gratitude. He walked into the royal eliamber and said: "my king, have yien any heart? Can you not realize the secrinces we have made for you? Can you not come forth and thank WS for shedding our blood, instead of weep- ing over that lieentiops, infilial child ,who tried to murder "you" And to- day, 0 man, I ask, cannot you Stop weeping over the lives' of. some people who have been untrue to you and open your eyes to the sacrifices of those who have been devoting themselves to your comfort and happiness for the last fen or perhaps twenty years? • . You have loSt a, child. He diedas the result of his sins, and you know it. Yet you weep and cry lin* that child as theugh he had been to you a sa.int. Waat about the other Children? What tboat those lovely ,daughters and that fine young son -who are growing up by your side? Are you Just to them? Do you try to make home happy for them? Are you true to them You have a ,dia, solute father. "Oh," you keep com- plaining, "if my father were only What he ought to be!" Well, he is not. You cannot help that. But what about your mother? Have you ever thanked God that you haled such a mother? Have not her noble example and her tender sacrifices been enough to start out a dozen boys like you right, even though your father has not been. what he ought to be? , And yet. the strange fact of life is this: Most of our modern King Davids will go on whining and groan- ing and complaining about one per- son who has done them a Wrong a.face neglect to show gratitude to the scores" of noble souls about them who are do- ing all in their power to make them happy and blessed. Oh, the meanness of not trying to de all we can for those who are doing everything for ;us! Some years ago 'there joined my church one of e the bravest young women I ever knew. Her father died when she was'a young _girl. Then the. executors robbed the 'widowed meta-4er of her all. The young 'girl,' who was .brought up in _luxury, -went forth to earn her daily. bread: The_ trieeliereneyee egeenge.to care Or to e 'rottitze what i that daughter wS doldig• Finne morning until night She kept 1.11) her never endlidg seriee Of co plaints, She oornplanted alsoilt being 1 ft a wi- dow; ithe complained about loSs of money; sbel complained bee use she had to live vhere she did and'that her daughter ha to be away all ay long. "But," I said one day, "ma oure you surely should be thankful foie that girl of, yours. A nobler girl I no er knew. Of course you have to:be Ione, but think of her down at the o co work- ing, It is not very pleasant for her." "Yes," said the complaining old lady; "I suppose I ought to be thankfuleand not. complain, but it is my disposition, and I can't help it." •Ah, net How many - at us are like that dissatiefled old lady! ,How many of u are like Xiag David! We brood ove our mis- fortunes sq long that we nothbrily make life miserable for ourselvea but add to the burdens of those who are striv- ing to make our lives happy and bless. ed, 2 But King David was awakened ' to more than, a. sentimental realization of his blessings. Gens Jostle gave to him a moral and spiritual galvanic ehock, whichtstartled his hands, his ears, Ids eyes, as never before. Ile made the king leap to his feet and stole his fool- ishness. Gen. joab practically said to Xing Davide "It is not only mean and contemptible for you to ignore the sacrifices your people have made for you, but it is more. Tpis foolish cry- ing peoves to the world that you ape unfit to be king. If you do not stop it your best friends milli turn against you. Within a few weeks you will have an- other in.surrectidn upon your hands, compared to which the late uprising will seem only a plaything. You will be hurled from your throne, and an- ot-hr will take your place, and that rightly, for if a man does notaitio a.s he ought to do the -vieerld will throw him aside, and he will have no °nett° blame but himself," Ah, that was a brave act of Gen. Joab! It was one of the bravest acts of his life. Ile was willing, if necessary, to sacrifice his own life in order that his friend and king might see the error of his ways and guard against the danger lurking at his feet. Are you and I willing to be as true to your friends dis Joab was to -his king? e It is easy to praise our friends when they 40 right or to defend them when tbey have injustice perpetrated against them. ,The story is tad that many years ago the officers of the army of the King of Hanover refused .to haste 'anything to do with a young lieutenant Who had been promoted on the field of battle for gallantry, , They, elainted that he Was not their social equal even though the shoulder straps of a com- missioned officer were his: The king heard about • the boycott. - The next day, at parade he called the yaung man to his side. Then, arm in arm with the lieutenant, he walked before the whole army assembled on dress parade. Then that night, as his special guest, the king took the young officer with hint to a banquet, Of course when the king went arm in arm with the young man the other officers at °nee 'felt he was not only their socia1 equal, but a friend well worth eultiyating. "Yes," I said to myself as I read that story, "how easy itis for some of us to walk arm In arm with our friende when they are doing right, but 'how had It Is for some of us to take the hands of our friends ewhens they do wrong gind to speak to them kindly and firmly and yet lovingly, as J6a,b told King David about his faults," But we must not stop here. When we find King David going forth to work we also find Gen; Joab, the great emancipator of grief. When we find David being induced to -go forth to meet the responsibilities of his king- clorn we find him breaking the shackles of sorrow,wlfich have bound bini hand and foot, ,as the Reiman captives used to be bound to the ebariots of their conquerore In the friumPhal entries in- to the capital of the Caesars. - And . thus, my friends, if you and I want to be truly helpful to our friends in their time of trouble, we should not try so rauch to pet them and sympathize with them, but we should go as Gen. Joab went to King David, to compel them to go forth and do something. . Work is the best panacea for grief. Many years ago a great trouble came to my father's home, The best com- forter my father had was not to be found among those who came to weep with him and to sympathize with. him, but the best comforter was the old classmate who came i and said: "De Witt, I am going thrOugh trouble far , worse than yours. My wife for tea years has beeti in the insane asylum. I want to give you the may CUM 1 know to help you at this time. Do not stay at home and era', Go forth into God's great harvest field and work. Work for Gad in. tb.e morning, work for God at noon, work for God at negett, work and keep on working for God all the -time, and the blessed comfort from GOttiwilt be yours." Thus, my brother, when you and I are going to carry tre comfort to our friends in their thete,ef trouble do not go to Mein to pet them. Go to them and rouse deem out 'of ,. themselves by urging them to do sense- tring for some one else. It was by work that David overcame hs grief, not'by selfish tears and sobs aipdweep- ings in the silence of his bedchamber. But there is another fact I want yeti to notice about Joel's upbraidment and denunciation. He elSd not waste any words about other people's shortcut:n- it:1gs. He did not go to the king and say, sistoW, David, Absalom was an ungrateful dog. You ought to have hanged him long ago. And those peo- ple who mutinied against you and made you thee from your capital ought to be sought out and punished." Oh, , no, Joab did not bother himself about . crying over the departed past. He practically said to David: "Here, the insurrection has taken place. An aw- ful lot of damage has been &me. There Is no vise of talking about who cdesed the difficulty. The one great fact we want to solve is how can we get the kingdom back upon Its old, stablefoun- dation. It is not now a question who set fire to your palace, but how we can put the conflagration out. Now, you had better get out of this room as soon as possible and get back to our capital and 'Pick up_ the reins of government without one moment's delay." And David returned and came to the Jor- dan and went back to Jerusalem. Are you and I ready to do as did David? Are you trying to jump in and over- come the evil deeds of others instead of sitting down and crying about them and magnifying them? But I must not close without draw- ing :your attention to one other fact The awakened king was not a young man. He was not even a treatalle-aged malt. A think his heir was -wbite add. his step was becorniog slower with age, and he knew it. William E. Gladstctne Said just before he gave up his Eng- lish premiership, "1 feel that the sande of my life are running out" King David must have felt his sands of life naming away alto. His grown chil- dren Preyed it, , Absalom must have Tr it with a d6.Ish Tomato Cat -ii neennana eweraesseawasswawansweslannieletwannaseeeesselaianag amen aegrown man. ITO mere noy count have had the lerabta or the power to raise the insurrection which he did. Absalom was evidently a fully develop- ed man. This meant that David, as his father, was probably past the fiftieth milestone if not nearing his threescore year of age. Now, methinks, when u dais moral backbone. I can almost this insurrection started, David lost aI hear him eoliloquizing something like this: "What is the use of iny fighting? 1 am anold man. If I were young. aa Ili the days when I fought Goliath. I could fight now; but, old and worn out, there is not much use. I think I had better abdicate. It will only be a few years at the most, and then 1 must die." But ,Joab had none of thiii nonsense in him. He came to the king and practically said: "Tour majesty, your best days are ahead. Get up out ef this room and go to work. Youf 'last yeare of reigning over Israel are to be your best years." --MY friends, my middle-aged or white-haired friends) I bring to you Joates saltnation, "Your best days are ahead; Up and out." That is what your motto shOuld be yea, up and out novel You are discouraged, like David, -Things have not' been going eight in business, have they?. The. younger m.en fn the -partnership want to push you td the wall? Don't you let them do it, Things have not been going right Inaba home and in the church. People say you are an old fogy and that yibu look at things through antiquated ' spectir. cies. Don't you let them puSh yoLf aside. Who ought to be so well fitted to lead a.nd mold the world as the ma-. ture middle-aged and. white-haired teachers or ministers Or merchants er church members? It is a sad cry !Which the world is calling to -day: "Give us young men! Let us have 'only young men!" The voice of the ehureh and the voice of the world should be the 'vole° of Joab; "Give us older men foe our leaders. Give us older men in the pulpit and in the pew and in legisla- tive hall." The best days of King David:were his last days. The best days of your earthly life, 0 aging man, . are ahead, -although at the present time, as with David just after Absa,- lofn's death, conditions may seem to be black' and almost hopeless. • And I say this with the greatest confidence because I believe that the blackness and hopelessness of your present trou- bles will drive you closer and closer to Jesus Christ, who alone is able to fit you for service for your fellow men. How black the world seems at times, even under the brightest of conditions! A short time befere Henry Irving, the greatest actor of his day, passed, away he made this etatern -int: "With the ap- plause! of the theatre still ringing in my ears, with the _*nernory of. kind faces emblazoned qn'rny memory, with the conscrousness that I have won the affections of multittides whom I cannot meet in person, I have often gone home faom the theatre feeling utterly deso- late and alone, yearning for the Intl - ate human companionship which fate iiias denied me.".. As Henry Henry Irving was yearning for intimate human companionship you. n account of your troubles, have been -earning for Christ; Thus in closing I commit you unto the hands of my Saviour. He is tbe Christ wlio will lead you if you let him, He will lead you out of your troubles just as he led the king of olden times. He may not lead you to a throne of earthly power, Init he will lead you to a throne of heavenly glory. Into the , Saviour's hands I commit thee to -day, 0 King David, as I declare again: "Thy best days are ahead. Thy best days of earth , and heaven are ahead If you will let David's God lead you as he will." Could Spare Time For That. Mr, Feathertop—just a moment, Miss Tartun.

A girl who breaks her engagement is called a eivetta—an owlet—possibly because owlets are used in Italy as decoys for ensnaring other birds. The epithet sticks to the girl for life and often proves fatal to her matrimonial chanees. Suffered Terrible Agony FROM PAIN ACROSS HI,S KIDNEYS. DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS CURED HMO need the words of praise, ate M. A. McInnis, Marion Bridge, N.S., has for Doan's Kidney Pills. (He writes us): "For the past three years / have suffered terrible agony from pain across my kidneys. I was so bad I could nab stoop or bend. I e-onsulted and had several doctors treat me, but could get no relief. On the advice of a friend, I precured a box of your valuable, life-giving remedy (Doan's Kidney Pills), and to my surprise and delight, I inamed.iately got better. In my opinion Doan's Kidney Pills have no equal for any form of kidney trouble." Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents per box or three beges for $1.25. Can be procured, at all dealers or will be mailed direct on receipt oi price by The Doan Kidney Pill Co., Toronto. Ont.
