WINDS THAT HINDER
REV. DR. TM -MAGE TO THE WEARY
AND DI8OURAGED.
He Gives Words of Comfort to All Who
Labor Under A.dverse Circumstances,
Both Physical and Mental -The Over-
burdened and Oveworked.
Washington, Mair 80. -Dr. Talmage's
sermon this week * one of good cheer.
It will give encouragement to massy
struggling souls. The subject Is "Con-
trary Winds," and the text Matthew x19,
21, "The wind was contrary."
As I well know lay experience on Lake
Galilee, oae hour all may be calm and
the next hour the 'rinds and waves will
be so boisterous that you are in doubt as
to whether you will land on the shore or
on the bottom of the deep. The disciples
In the text were caught in such a stress
of weather and the sails bent and the
ship plunged, for .,"the wind was con
trar,y." There is in one of the European
straits a place, where, whichever way
you sail, the winds are opposing. There
are people who all their life seem sailing
In the teeth of the wind. A &things seem
against them. It may be said bf their
condition as of that of the disciples in
my text, "the wind was contrary."
A. Divine Physician.
A great multitude of people are under
seeming disadvantage, and I will to -day,
in the swarthiest Anglo-Saxon that I can
manage, treat their eases; not as a nurse
counts out eight or ten drops Of a pre-
scription and stirs them in a half glass
of water but as when a inan has by a
mistake taken a large amount of stroh-
nine or paris green or belladonna, and
the patient is walked rapidly round the
roma and shaken'up until he gets wide
awake. Many of you have taken a large
draft of the •poison. of discouragement,
and I come out by the order of the divine
Phyelnian to rouse you et, of that leth-
argy.
First, many people are under the dis-
advantage of an unfortunate name given
them by parents Who thought they were
doing a good thin. Sometimes at the
baptism of children while I have held up
one hand in prayer I have held upthe
other band in amazement that parents
should have Weighted the babe with
auch a dissonant mid repulsive nomencla-
ture. I have not So much wondered that
some children shoUld cry out at the chris-
tening font as that others with such
smiling face shpuld take a title that will
be the burden of their lifetime. 15Isout-
rageous to afflict children with an un-
desirable name bedause it bappened to be
possessed by a parent or a rich uncle
from whom favors are expected or SoMle
prominent Dian of the day who may end
-his life in disgrac. It is no excuse, be
cause they are ScrSpture name, to call a
child Jehoiakim Ior Tiglath-Pileser. I
baptized one by the name Bathsheba!
Why, under all the circumabient heaven,
any parent should Want to give to a child:
She name of that loese creature Of Scripture
times I cannot imagine. I have often felt
at the baptismal altar, When names were
announced to me :like saying, as did the
Rev. Dr. Richards of Morristown, N.:
•,
when a child was banded him for baptism
and the name given, `Hadn't you better
call it something else?"'
Impose not upon that babe a name
suggestive of flippancy or meanness.
There is no excuse for such assault and
battery on the cradle when our language
is opulent with names musical and sug
gestive in meaning, suoh as John, mean-
ing "the . gracious' gift of God," or
Henry, meaning "the chief of a house-
hold,'" or Alfred, meaning "ood coun-
selor," or Joshua meaning "God, our
salvation," or Ambrose, meaning "im-
mortal," Sir Andrew, meaning "manly,'
or Esther, meaning "star," or Abigail,'
meaning "my father's joy," or Anna,
ineaning "grace," or Victoria, meaning
"victory," or Ilsalie, meaning "beauti
ful as a rose," or Margret, meaning "a
pearl," ,or Ida, meaning "godlike," or
Clara, meaning "illustrioue" or Amelia,
meaning "busy,'" or Bertha, meaning
"bautiful," and, hundreds of other
names lust as good. that are a help rather
than a hindrance!
The Family Name.
But sometimes the great hindrance in
life is not in the given name, but in the
family name. While legislatures are will-
ig to lift such incubuses, there are fam-
ilies that keep a name which mortgages
all the 'generations with a great disad-
vantage. You say, wonder if he is any
relation to So-and-so," meaning some
family celebrated ifor crime or deception.
It is a wonder to me that in all such
families some spirited young man does
not rise, saying to his brother and sisters;
"If you want to keep this nuisance or
scandtiliation of 4 name, I will keep nt
no longer than until by quickest course
of law I can slongh off this gangrene."
The city directora has hundreds of names
She mere pronunciation of which bas
been a life long obstacle. If you have
started life under a name which, -either
through ridiculous orthography or vicious
suggestion, has been an incumbrance,
resolve that the next generation shall not
be so weighted. lIt is not demeaning to
change a name. Saul of Tarsus became
Paul the Apostle Hadaesah, "the myr-
tle," became Eether, "the star." We
have in America,and I suppose it is so
in all countries, names which ought to
be, abolished, and can be and will be
bolished for the reason that they are a
ibel and. a slandr. But iffor any reason
ou are subinetged either by a given
ame or by a family mine that you must
ear, God will help you to overcome the
utrage by a life consecrated to the good
nd useful. You may erase the curse from
he name. If 15 once stood. for meanness,
ou can make It Istand for generosity.
If once it stood for pride, you can
ake it stand for humility. If in once
tood for fraud, I you can make it stand
or honesty. If Once it stood for wiened-
ess you can make it stand for purity.
here have beenlinultitudes of instances
here men and I women have magnifi-
ently conquered the disasters of the
ames inflicted upon them.
Again, many people labor under the
isfortune of incomplete physical equip-
ent. We are by our Creator so economi-
lly built that we cannot afford the
bliteration of any physical faculty. - We
ant our two ET0S, our two ears, our
WO hands, our two feet,our eight fingers
nd two thumbs. Yet what multitudes

it was impossibe, said, with tears rolling
down his cheek: "Well, then, goodby,
old hand. I bale to part with you. You
have done me a good service for many
years, but it seems you must go. Good -

A celebrated surgeon told me of a
ne in the clinioal department of one of
e New York hospitals, when a poor
man with a wounded leg.was brought In
before the stadditir lb 'be 'Operated on.
The surgeon was pointing out this and
that to the students and handling the
Wounded leg, and was about to prooeed
to amputation when the poor man leaped
from the table and hobbled to the door,
and said, "Gentlemen, I am sorry to
disappoint you, but by the help of God I
Will die with my leg on." What a torrid°
loss is the loss of our physical faculties!
The way the battle of Crecy was de-
cided against - the Freneh was by the
Welshmen killing the French horses, and
that brought their riders to the ground.
And when you cripple this body, which
Is inerely the animal on which the soul
rides, you may sometimes defeat the soul.
Physical Ilia.
Yet how many suffer froixi this physi-
cal taking off ! Good cheer, tay brother!
God will make up to You somehow.
The grace, the sympathy' of God will be
more to you than anything you have lost.
If God allows part of your resources to
be out Whin one place, he will add it on
somewhere else. As Augustus, the em-
peror, took off a day from February,
making it the shortest month in the year,
and added it to August the month named
after himself, so advantages taken from
one part of your nature will be added on
to another. But it is amazing how much
of the world's work has been done by
men of subtracted physical organization.
S. S. Preston, the great orator of the
southwest, went limping all his life, but
there was no foot put down upon any
platform of his day that resounded so
far as his club foot. Beethoven was so
deaf that he could not hear the crash of
the Orchestna rendering his oratorios.
Thomas Carlyle, the dyspeptic martyr,
was given the commission to "drive cant
out of the world's literature. The Rev.
Thomas Stockton, of Philadelphia, with
one dung raised his audience nearer
heaven than most ministers can raise
them with two lungs. In the banks, the
insurance companies, the commercial
establishments, the reformatory associa-
tions, the churches, there are tens of
thousands of men and -women to -day
doubled up with rheumatism, or Sabject
to the neuralgias, or with only frag-
nents of limbs, the rest of which they
left at Chattanooga, or South Mountain,
Or the Wilderness, and they are worth
More to the world and more to the
°hurt& and more to God than those of
us who have never to much as had, a
finger joint stiffened by a felon.
Put to full use alti the faculties that
remain and oharge on all opposing cir-
cumstances with. the determination of
John ofBohemia, who was totally blind
and yet at a battle cried .out, "I pray
and beseech Ton to lead me so for into
the fight that I may strike one good
blow with this sword of mine." Do not
think so much of what faculties you have
lost as of what faculties remain. You
have enough left to snake yourself felt
In three worlds, while you help the earth
and balk hell and win heaven. Arise
from .your discouragements, 0 mer' and
women of depleted or crippled physical
faculties, and see what, by the special
help of God, you can accomplish!
The skilled horsemen stood around.
Bucephalus, unable to mount or manage
him, so wild wan) the steed. But Alex-
ander noticed that the sight of his own
shadow seemed to disturb the horse. So
Alexander clutched him by tbe bridle and.
turned his head away from the shadow
and toward the sun, and the horse's
agitation was gone, and. Alexander
mounted him and rode off, to the aston-
ishtuent of al/ who stood by. Ad what
you -people need is to have your sight
bunted away from the shadows of your
earthly lot, over which you have so long
podered, and your head turned toward
She sun -the glorious sun of gospel con-
solation, and Christian hope and spiritual
triumph.
A New Outfit.
And then remember that all physical
disadvantages will after awhile vaniatt.
,Let those who have been rheumatismed
out of a foot, or cataracted out of an eye,
or by the perpetual roar of our clties
thundered out of an ear, look forward
to the day when this old tenement house
of flesh will come down and a better one
shall be- builded. The resurrection morn-
ing will provide you with a better outfit.
Either the unstrung, wornoun blunted
and crippled organs will be so recon-
structed that you will not know them,
or an entire new set of eyes and cars and
feet will be given you. Just what it
means by corruption putting on incor-
ruption we do not know, sate that it
will be glory ineffable. No limping in
heaven, no straining of the eyesight to
see things a little way off, not putting
of the hand behind the ear to double the
capacity of the tympanum, but faculties
perfect, all the keys of the instrument
attuned for the sweep of the fingers of
ecstacy. But until that day of resumption
conies let us bear each other's burdens
and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Another form of disadvantage under
which many labor is lack of early educa-
tion. There will be no excuse for ignor-
ance in the next generation. Free schools
and illimitable opportunity of education
will make ignorance, a crime. I believe
in compulsory edimation, and those
parents who neglect to put their children
under educational advantages liaVO but
one right lft, and that is the peniten-
tiary. But there are multitudes of men
and•Snmen in midlife who have had no
opportunity. Free schools had not yet
been established, and vast neultitudes
had little or no school at all. They feel
it when as Christian men they come to
speak or pray in religious assemblies or
public occasions, patriotic, or political, or
educational. They are silent because they
do not feel competent. They owe nothing
to English grammar, or geography, or
belles lettres. They would not know a
participle from a pronoun if they met it
many times a day. Many of the' men in
high political places cannot write an
accurate letter on any theme. They are
completely depeudent upon clerks and
deputies and stenographers to 'slake
things right. I knew a literary man who
In other years in this city made his for•
tune by writing speeches for congressmen
or lining them up for The Congression
Record after they were delivered. The
millionaire illiteracy of this country is
beyond measurement.
Now, suppose a man finds himself in
midlife without education, what is ,he to
do? De the best he can. -The most
effective layman in • a former pastoral
charge that I ever heard speak on
religious themes could within live min-
utes of exhortation break all the laws of
English grammar, and if he left any law
unfractured he would complete the work
of ligual devastatibn in the prayer with
which he followed it. But I would rather
have him pray for me if I were sick or
in trouble than - any Christian man I
know of, and in that church all the peo-
ple preferred him in exhortation and
prayer to all others. Why? Because he
was so thoroughly pious and had such
power with God he was irresistible, and
as he went on in his prayer sinners re-
pented and saints shouted for joy, and
the bereaved seemed to get back their
dead in celestial companionship. And
when he had stopped praying and as soon
as I could wipe out of my eyes enough
tears to see the closing hymn I ended
the meeting, fearful that some long
winded prayer meeting bore would pull
us down- from the seventh heaven. o

Other Hindrances.
Others have a mighty obstacle In their
personal appearance, for which they are
not responsible. They forget that God
fashioned their features and their com-
plexion and their stature'the size of
their nose, and mouth, and hands, and
feet, and gave them: their gait and their

and every obstacle thrown ila their path,
the result generally being that it is only
a rich man who Can be a lawyer.
"Under the regulations at present in
force,", says this Rochester gentlemman,
"barristers, after they have kept their
terms and passed a sort of three years'
novitiate, during which they have the
title of advocate, but have no voice in
the deliberations of the Council of Dis-
cipline, and are not inscribed on the
rolls. They can plead during the three
years' probation, but it is a sort of
empty privilege in nine cases out of ten.
When an eminent barrister in Prance
employs a junior it is generally smite one
inscribed on the rolls; should he employ
the probationer, the honor thus accorded
him must suffice. He does not pay him.
"But he must lie, and here is where
She problem comes in, which is much
more easily solved by the American or
English young lawyer than it is by his
Parisian brother. In the first place there
is the outlay for his gown, or bretta,
which comes close to 80 francs, unless
he prefers to hire it at the rate of ten
cents per day. Then he -must engage
someone to teach • him deportment, for
this is an essential qualification in this
land, where King Etiquette rules with
an iron band. The services of a professor
of the conservatory must also be caned
in to train his voice, unless nature has
been kind to him in that respect. But
these expenses are mere incidents. He
must, above all, not live in small cham-
bers and, rent dinky offices. Poverty is a
poor key to open the pockets of clients.
Warned by Rats.
The ncinditions favoring plague are
similar to those favoring typhus fever,
namely: crowd poisoning, bad ventila-
tion and drainage, impure water supply,
famine or imperfect nourishment, and
inattention. to sanitary requirements. It
is probable of this disease, as of yellow
fever, that. human habitations and the
ground in y become so thoroughly in-
fected as lhe establish endemicity. The
bacillus ray infect food and water,
though h w long it will retain its vir-
ility in water isas yet undetermined.
Clothing and other personal effects,
bedding, etc.; may be infected through
the discharges. The bacillus is not killed
by drying, as is the case with the cholera,
bacillus, and may be carried in the dust
arising through the cleansing of dwell-
ing houses which plague patients have
occupied,.
A very important element in the
spread of plague in houses and localities
are rats and other animals. It has been
found that nets, mice, snakes, ebeetles,
bugs, flies, dogs, and jackals are infected
- during an epidemic. It is significant that
the purely herbiverous animals -horses,
oxen, sheep, goats and rabbits -are ex-
- einpt. Rats die in large numbers, and
generally this phenomenon is cibserved in
advance, of the appearance of the plague
aznong human beings. The cause of their
infection is still a subjeot of discussion.
The soil becomes infected,.ad a very
common belief in Oriental countries -is
that the rat contracts the disease from
Miasmatic emanations filen the soil, but
this has never been scientifically demon-
strated, and is probably incorrect. The
fent that mortality among-- rats precedes
an outbreak of plague among human
beings is explained by Lowson by the
fact that rats have their snouts about
en inch above the floors of houses, and
are more liable to inspire plague -infected
dnst than are human beings. -General
