Talmage Discourses o Those
Who liave Gone.
IA despatch from Waehington says,:
Rev. "Dn., Talmage preached from the
following text :—Thou shalt be miss-
ed bacau:se tby seat will be empty." -
1 Samuel xx. 18.
, Get on the table the cutlery and the
chased +Inver ware of the palace, for
King Saul will give a etate dinner to-
day. A distinguisik,d place is kept at
'the table for his sen -in-law, a cele-
brated warrior, David by name. The
guests, jeweled and plunaecl, come in
and take their places. Wan the peo-
ple are invited to a king's banquet
they are very apt to gin But before
the covers are lifted. teem the feast
Saul looks around and fincie a vacant
tseat at the table. He says within
nimself, or perhape audibly: What
doe e thn3 mean? Where is my son-in-
law ? Where is'Do.vH, the great War-
rior? I invited him; I expeeted him
iWhat a vacant chair at a king's
banquet I" The fact We.5 that David,
the warrior, had been seated for the
last tinae itt his father-in-law's table.
The day before, Tonal:hen had coaxed
David, in the words of my text, "Thou
wilt be missed, because thy seat will
be empty." The predictSon was fulfill-
ed. David was miesed. Elis seat was
empty. CChat one vacant chair spoke
• louder than all the occupied chairs at
the banquet.
In almost every houee the artieles
of furniture take a living personality.
In that picture a tranger would not
see anything rexna.rkable, either in its
design Or execution, but it is, more to
you than all the pictures of the Louvre
and the Luxembourg. You remember
,wbo bought a and who admired it.
And that hymn-book—you remember
who sang out of it; and that needle—
you remember who rocked it; and
that Bible,—you remembered who read
out of it; and that bed—you remem-
ber who slept in it; and that raom—
yon remember who died in it. But
there is nothing in all your house so
eloquent and so mighty-voiCed as the
vacant chair. 1 suppose that before
Saul and his guests -got ap from this
banquet the, was a great clatter of
wine pitehers; but all that racket was
drowned out by the voice that came
up from the vacant chair at the table.
First, I point out to you the father's
broken chair. OH men always like to
it in the eatne place and the same
chair. They somehow feel more at
home, and sonsetimes, when you are in
their place and they‘,.come into the
room, you jump up, and suddenly' say,
"Here, father, here's your chair." The
probability is it is an armchair, for
he is not so strong as he once was,
and he needs a little upholding. The
hair a little frosty; the gums a little
depressed; for in his early days there
was not much 'dentistry. Perhaps a
cane and old-fashioned apparel, for
though. you may have suggested some
improvement, father does not want
any of your nonsense. Grandfather
.never had ranch admiration for new-
fangled notions. I sat at the table
of one of my parishioners in a forraer
congregation. An aged man was at
the table, and his son was presiding,
and the father somewhat abruptly ad-
dressed the son, and said, "My son,
don't, now, try to show off because the
raini,ster is here!" Your father never
liked any new customs of manners. He
preferred the old way of doing things,
mast he never looked so happy, as when
with his eyes closed, he sat in the
armchairin the corner. From wrin-
kled brow to the tip of the slippers,
what plaoidity I The wave of the past
years of his life broke at the foot of
that chair. Perhaps sometimes he was
a. 1Lttlo impatient, and sometimes told
the same story twice, but over that
old chair how many blessed memories
hover. I hope you did. not orowd that
old chair, and that it did not get very
much, in the way, especially it he he
been So unwise as to make all his pro-
perty to his children, with the under-
standing that they are to take care
of him. I have seen in such cases elail-
dee'n crowd the old man's chair to the
door, and then (gown] it clear into tile
Street, and then crowd it into the poor
house, tend keep on erowdirig it until
the old xnan fell out of Lt. into his
grave. But your father's chair was
a sacred place. The children used to
climb up on the rungs of it for a good-
night kiss, and the longer he stayed,
the batter you liked it. The furniture
dealer would not give you fifty cents
for ib; but it is enthrone of influenoe

ed upon her face, and he cried out;
"0 mother, mother, what your life

And he kept his promise. Another
victory for the vacant chair. With

go on a little farther and Ieorne
to the invalid's chair. 'nViaa.t 1 How
long have you been seek? "Oh, I
have been ,eick ten, twenty, thirty
yearn." Is it. possible ? What a
-snary of endurance. There are in
Many of the families of my congre-
gation, thane invalid chairs. The oc-
cupante 01 theus think they are do-
ing no good in the world; but that
invalid's chair is ,the mighty pulpit
from which,they have been preaching
all these years, trust in God. Oh,
what a means of grace to the world,
these invalid chairs. On that field of
human suffering, the grace' of Gad
gets its victory. 13nt when one of
these invalid's chairs become vacant,
how suggestive it is. ...No more of
bolstering up of the, weary head No
more changing from side to side to
get an easy position. No more use
of the bandage and the cataplasm and
the prescription. That invalid's chair
may be folded up, or taken apart, or
set away, but it will never loSe its
queenly power; it will. always preach
of trust in God and cheerful submis-
sion. Suffering all ended now. With
respeat to that invalid the 'words of
my text have been fulfilled; "Thou'
shalt be missed, because thy seat will
be erapty."
I pass an and I find one more vac -
and °hair. It: is a high chair. It is
'the child's chair. If tha,t chair be Oc-
cupied, I think it is the moat potent
chair in all the household. A.Il the
chairs wait on it, all the chairs are
turned toward it. It means more
than David's chair at Saul's banquet.
lAt any rate it makes more racket.
t That is a strange house that can be
dull with a child in it. There is no-
thing to arouse and melt and sub-
due the soul like a enild's voice. But
alien. it goes 'exam, you, the high
chair becomes a higher chair,. and
there is desolation all around, about
you I cannot ep,ea.k fronat experience
thank God ; but in three-fourths of the
homes of my congregation ther,e. is a
vacant high chair. Somehow you
never get over it. Thenis no one to
, ,
put. to bed n,t night, no one, to ask
strange questions about God and
and heaven. Oh,What is the use of
that high chair? It is to call you high-
er. What a drawing upward it must
be to have children 'in heaven.. ,With
respect to your child, the words of my
text have been fulfilled: "Thou shalt
ne miseed because thy seat will be
empty." '

IMMUNITY FROM COLDS,
One wonian snowed It by Ilse of Cold
l'Cots.r 0.441 5 Dorso
woman who for years suffered
from, v ol....nt; colds \elnela several times
threatened to end fatally claimto
hav,e attained inainuitity by the use of
Imre cold water as tineclieine, gild an
dittary horse brush o r cur tying sOE
morning and evening exercise.- Owing
to a severe nervotts tereakdownc she
was obliged to ,consult a physician
famous for his original and. simple
methods of treatment. After laying
down the law on the subje,et ofdiet al'id
fresh, air, lie said: "You. will also, go
to a store and pure -nese, for 35e a horse
brush, with which yo -ix'. will give your
whole. body a thorough rubbing each
morning before you bathe. eks soon as
you /Ise you will fill a quart pitcher
\Oil, drinking water, andesip it slowly
while dressing. ..At. night do the same
thing over again, omitting,of course,
the bath."
The cold water was easily managed
and soon became indispensable, but at
fire.t the horse brush seemed to tear
the sensitive skin. Having, absolute
conficlenee in her physician., however,
tia,a patient persisted, at first barely
touching the, bri,stle,s to her body'.
Within a few weeks she was not only
able to do the- currying natest. vigorous-
ly, but -really anticipated it with pleas-
ure. The signs of the firSt \\Tinter cold
drove her in haste ,,to the doctor. The
great man of medicine refused to sup-
ely her with drugs. Ile questioned her
as one would a child as to leaving her
windows open at, night, as to drink-
ing water regularly and 'taking .her
exercises, upon all of which. she pass-

A FAIR EXAMINATION.

ing in overeating. 1001.4...henever you eat
a heavy rich dinner, and.' let it Ion 8.8
seldom as possible, omit the next meal
and substitute a quart of water. You
can't 'take cold 'unless you ,get into
Condition for it."
This she did and the cold failed
to mature and,, although she has
frenuentiy left undone' those things
which she, ought to have done, and vice
versa, and paid a penalty proportion-
ate to lier carelessness, she has never
since suffered from a really; violent
cold.
Of course, any system of living which
builds up a well-n,ourished body is
inimical to colds as well as other forms
of 'disease, Cold water taken in this
manner simply washes the stomach,
caring off the, injuriou,S acid.s, which
generate there and which, allowedto
circulate through 'the bilged, impoverish
it, thereby weakening. the vitality Of
the person. After washi,ng the blood
clean as it werefethe next thingeis- to
inelu,ce circulation. This is done by
means of the vigorous currying, which
beside bringing the blood to the sur-
face to resist external, chill, also
ope.na the pores. allowing impurities to
escape. Then t,he daily bath finishes
the work.
Those who intend to ,put this simple
cold cure in practtne, and it is a remedy
for Many another evil, should remem-
ber that water taken with meals does
not count at ails or if it does it is
rather to ne added to the side ofethe
Onenly. It must be taken , before
breakfast and again justhefore' retir-
ing, and a whole quart mast be sipped
Within say three-quarters oe an hour.
If, cold water chills one, the terdpera-
ture. May feneeised a little until this
dill...edited is. overcome. Some good
cheap distilled water is best where
there is'any question of 'the purity of
the 'water supply.,

PR.AUTICAL NOTB,S.
Verse' 17. The feast of unleavened

hinted a week, during which no leaven-
ed food was. fused. The passover sup-

20. When the even was come, 'With

therefore we may safely reckon that
Jesus sat down with the twelve
promptly at strad'own—t ha t is, a
few minuteafter sin. 'Ancient
tradition and modern scholarship
agree int their guesses that the upper
room. in whieh the laet sapper was
eaten was, en the home of Mary the
Mother of Mark. There ere itntieria-

of humble charity, that beautiful spir-

21. One of you shall betray- me. An
astounding declaration, It was made
,
probably to give Judas opportunity to
repent. John observed the "trouble"
Of the Master' e "spirit" as the words
were spoken.
.22. They were' exceeding sorrowful.
Oar Lord's word e and his manner alike
impressed them. What terrible re-
sults naignt be expected -from such a
betrayal! Lord, is it I? Not "le it
he?" The form. of the quention' ill the
Greek anticipates a negative reply.
23. Re that deppeth his hands with
me in the dish. Tile Revised Version
modifies the tense here: "He that dip-
ped." Some sebolars assuming that
Judas lae.d just dipped into the dish,
understand that by these words' jesus
informed the apostles which vvas the
traitor; but others underetand that
our Lord here enlarges on the horrible
treachery of the act without disclos-
ing the traitoir, as if he had. said;
"I peed nonnention names,the traitor
know ,s his own treason; but. this I
will say—It one ;whose, courtesy and
apparent friendship are ,notable."
24. The ',Son of inan goeth as dt ,is
written. Plainly foretold to us, -who
get prophecy and fulfillment at once.
But wise Bible students in our Lord's
day were not agreed about the mean-
ing okf either 'the Sion of roan,' or "tile

Even at this awful climax of his his-

for himself, but infinite' pity for his

Everyone else had asked, and had been
replied to. Possibly, as we bave seen,
Judas had just before, thia dipped hiS
hanci into the dish ; ;and the. gaestion-
ing eye,s of the others' may have loosen-
ed hie tongue. Thou hest said. This,
according to Palestinian idiom, eva,na
distinct affirmation—"Yee." Whether
or not the eleven heard it is not' quite
plain; they eyidently thd 110t promptly
tinflerstand' it. John says that Jesus
"dipped a sop"--aoaked a piece ,of
'bread in the stew—and, gave it to
Judas, ,after having told John at least
that lae WaS ab011t to give the, "sop"
to the traitor. Satan entered into
Judas—.his devilish purpose was Bud-
denly confirmed—and when Jesus said,
'That thou doest, do quickly,' ludas

A SAD DENOUNCEMENT.
Die ex -Empress Eugenie is described
in her home in Farnborough, Surrey,
as a sad, white-haired woman,,
bent with sheu.matism and
spending most of her thno in
prayer. She is too infirm now to
sit in the sanctuary of the big white
church near the mausoleum she had
built and under which are two large
sarcoplaagi in red granite, laded with
wreaths of inamortelles, each wreath
bearing ,a card on which a royal auto-
graph is seen. She has endowed and
entirely supports the monastery. Three
black -robed Benedictine monks pray
constantly for the souls' of Napoleon
andthe prince imperial. The Anniver-
sary of the death of the young prince
impe,nal is a day of broken-hearted
sorrow to the empress, who, indeed,
mourns her double loss every hour of
her sad life. Her face is the saddest
one can possibly imagine. Always,
even in the zenith of her power, a
charitably disposed woman, she is now
a:benefactress to the poor within her
raia,ge.
HER SWEET INGENUOUSNESS.

kins, I am going to turn over a new
