'Washington, Oct. S. -Dr. Talmage
in this sermon shows us a scene of ten-
derness and reverence and tells us how
we ought to treat old people. His text -'is
Genesis, alv, 28, "I will go and see him
before I die."
Jacob had long since passed the hun-
dred year milestone. In those times peo-
ple were distinguished for longevity. In
the centuries after persons lived to great
age. Galen, the most celebrated physi-
cian of his time, took so little of hie
own medicine that he lived to 140 years.
A man of undoubted veracity on the
. witness stand in England swore that he
remembered an event 150 years before.
Lord Bacon speaks of a countess who
had out three sets of teeth and died at
140 years. Joseph Crele of Pennsylvania
lived 140 years. In 1857 a book was
printed containing the names of 87 per-
sons who lived. 140 years and the names
of 11 persons who lived 150 years.

Jacob, the Shepherd.
Among the grand old people Of whom
we have record was Jacob, the shepherd
of the text. But he had a bad lot of
boys. They were jealous and ambitious
and every way =Principled. Joseph,
however, seemed to be an exception but :
he had. been gone many years, and the
probability was that he was dead. As
sometimes now in a house you will find
kept at the table a vacant chair, a plate,
a knife, a fork, for some, deceased mem,- -
ber of the family, so Jacob kept in his
heart a place for his beloved Joseph.
There sits the old man the flock of 100
years in their flight having alighted long
enough to leave the marks of their claw
on forehead and cheek and texople. His
long beard snows down over his chest.
His eyes are somewhat dim, and- he can
see farther when they are closed than
when they are open, for he can see clear

king in the 'mightiest empire of all the
world! The news was too sudden and
too glad for the old man, and,Ms cheeks

his staff falls out of his band and he

In that half deliriune the old man
mumbles soro,ething about his son Joseph.
He says: "You don't mean Joseph, do
you? eMy dear son who has been dead so
long? You don't mean Josephi do you?"
But after they had fully resuscitated
him, and the news was confirmed, the
tears begin their winding way down the
crossroads of the wrinkles, and the sunk-
en lips of the old man quiver and he
brings his bent fingers together as he
says: "Joseph is yet alive: I will go and.
see him before I die."
It did not take the old man a great
while to get ready, I warrant you. He
put on the best clothes that the shep-
herd*s wardrobe could afford. He got
into the wagon, and though the aged
are cautious and like to ride slow, the
wagon did not get along fast enough for
-this old man, and when the wagon with
the old man met Joseph's chariot com-
ing down to meet him and Joseph got
out •of the chariot and got into the wagon
and threw his arms around his father's

rusticity, of simplicity and pomp, of
filial affection and paternal love, which

had better laugh or cry, • that we do
both. So Jacob kept the resolution of the
text -"I will go and see him before I

will probably not visit you very of ten -
perhaps never again. You go to their
room after they have retired at night to
see if the lights aro properly put out, for
the old people understand candle and
lamp better than the modern apparatus
for illumination. In the morning, with

Joseph, in the historical scene of the
text, did not think any more of his father
than you do of your patents. The prob-
ability is before they leave your house
they half spoil your elaildren with kind:
nesses. Grandfather and grandmother
are more lenient and indulgent to your
children than they ever were with you.
And what wonders. of revelation in the
bombazine pocket of the one and the
sleeve of the other! Blessed is that home
where Christian parents come 'to visit!
Whatever may have been the style of the
architecture when they came, it is a
palace before they leave. If they visit
you 50 timee, the two most memorable
visits will be the first and the last. Those
two pictures will hang la the hall of
your memory:while memory lasts, and
you will remember just how they looked,
and where they sat, and what they said,
and at what figure of the carpet, and at
what doorsill they parted with you, giv-
ing you the final goodby. Do not be em-
barrassed if your father come to town
and he have the manners of the shep-
herd, and if your mother come to tonin
and there be in her hat no sign of costly
millinery. The wife of the Emperor Theo-
dosius said a wise thing when she said,
"Husbands, remember what you lately
were and remember what you are, and
be thanfkul."
Kindness te Parents.
What a strong and uniailing thing is
parental attachment! Was it not almost
time tor Jacob to forget Joseph? The hot
suns of many summers had blazed on
the heath; the river Nile had overflowed
and receded, overflowed and receded
again and again; the seed had been sown
and the harvests reaped; stars rose and
set; years of plenty and years of famine
had oassed on, but tPe love of Jacob in
my text is overwhelmingly dramatic.
Oh, that is a cord that' is not snapped,
though pulled on by many decades!
Though when the little child expired the
parents may not have been more than 25
years of age, and now they are 75, yet
the vision of the cradle, and the ohildish
face, and the first utterances of the in-
fantile lips are fresh to -day, in spite of
the passage of a half century. JosePh
was as fresh in Jacob's memory as ever,
theugh at 17 years of age the boy had
disappeared from the old homestead. I
found in our tamily record the story of
an infant that had died 50 years before,
and I said. to my parents, "What is this
record and what dpes it mean?" Their
chief answer was a long, deep sigh. It
was yeato them a, very tender sorrow.
What does that all mean? Why, it means
, our children departed are ours yet, and
that cord of attachnsent reaching aoross
the years will hold us until it brings us
together in the palace, as Jacob and
Joseph were brought together. That is
one thing that makes old people die hap-
py. They realize it is a re -union with
those from whom they have long been
separated.
I am often asked as pastor -and every
pastor is asked the qiiestion-"Will my
children be childreo in heaven and for-
ever children Well, there was no doubt
a great change in Joseph from the time
Jacob lost him and the time when Jacob
found him -between the boy of 17 years
of " age and the man in raidlife, his fore-
head developed with the great business
of state, but Jacob was glad th get back
Joseph Anyhow, apd it did not make
much difference to the old man whether
the boy looked older or looked younger.
And it will be enough joy for that par-
ent if he can get back that son, that
daughter, at the gate of heaven whether
the departed loved one shall' come a
cherub or in full grown angelhood.
There muet be a change wrought by
that celestial climate an4 by those super-
nal years, but it will ofily be, from Mate
noose to ruoi•e loveliness. andirons. health
to more radiant health. Oh, 'parent,
you think of the darling panting mid
white iu membranous croup, waut you
to know it will be gloriously betteeM in
that land where there has never been it
death and where all the inhabitants will
live on -in the. great future is l'ong as
God! Joseph was joseph notwithstand-
ing the palace, and your child will be
your child notwithstanding all the rain-
ing splendors of everlasting noon. What
a thrilling visit was that of the old L
shepherd to the prime minister Joseph!
By this time you all notice what kind-
ly provision Joseph made for his father
Jacob. Joseph did not say: "I can't have
the old man around this place. How
clumsy he would' look climbing up these
marble stairs and walking over those
mosaics! Then he would be putting his
hands upon some of these frescoes. Peo-
ple would wonder where the old green-
horn came from. He would ifisock all
the Egyptian eourt with his • manners at
table. Besides that, he might get sick
on my hands, and he might be querul-
ous -and he might talk to me as though
rwere only a boy, when I am the second
Airian in all the realm. Of course he must
not suffer and if there is famine in his
country -and I hear there is -I will send
him some provisions; but I can't,, take a
man from Padanaram and introduce
him into this polite Egyptian court.
What a nuisance it is to have poor rela-
tions 1"
Joseph did not say that, but he rushed
out to meet his father with perfect
abandon of affection, and brought him
up to the palace and introduced him to
emperor and provided for all the rest of
the father's days, and nothing was too
good for old man while living, and
when he was dead, Joseph, with mili-
tary escort, took his father's remains to
the family cemetery. Would to God all
cbildren were as kind to their parents!
If the father have large property, and
he be wise enough to keep it in his own
name, he will be respected by the heirs,
but how often it is when the son finds
his father in famine, as Joseph found
Jacob in famine, the young people make
it very hard for the old man. They are
so serprised he eats with a knife instead
of a fork. They are chagrined at his
antediluvian habits. They are provoked
because he cannot hear as well as he
used to, and when he asks it over again,
and the son has to repeat it, he bawls
in the old man's ear, "I hope you hear
that?" How longl he must wear the old
coat or the old hat before they get him
a new one! How chagrined they are at
his independnce of the English grammar!
How long he hangs on! Seventy-five
years and not gone yet! Eighty years
and not gone yet! Will he ever go? They
'think'it of no use to have a doctor in
'his last sickness, and go up to the drug
store and get something that makes him
worse and economize on a coffin, and
beat the undertaker down to the last
pciint, giving a note for the reduced
amount, which they never pay 1 I have
ofaciated at obsequies of aged people
where the family have been so inordin-
ately resigned to Pepvidence that I felt
like taking my text from Proverbs, "The
eye that niocketh at his father and re-
fuseth to obey his mother, the ravens of
the valley shall pick it mit, and the
young eagles shall eat it." In other
words, such an ingrate ought to have a
flock of crews for pallbearers! I congrat-
ulate you if you have the honor of pro-
viding for aged -parents. The blessing of
the Lord God of Joseph and Jacob will
be on you.
A share la Success. •
I rejoice to remember that, though my
father lived in a plain house the most
of his days, he died in a mansion pro-
vided by the filial piety of a son who had
achieved a fortune. There the- octogen-
arian sat, and . the servants waited on
hino.and there were plenty of horses
and plenty of carriages to convey him
and a bower in which to sit on long
an,Willets, and the angels of the battlefields
of Fair Oaks and Loakout Mountain and
Chancenorsville and Cooper Shop hospi-
tal, and though single life has been
hohored by the fact that the three grand-
est men of the Bible -John and Paul
and Christ-evere celibates.
The Maiden Aunt.
tet the ungrateful world sneer at the
maiden aunt, but God has a throne
burnished for her arrival, and on one
side of that throne in heaven there is a
vase containing two jewels, the one
brighter than the Kohinoor of London
tower, and the other larger than any dia-
mond ever found in the districts of Gol-
conda -the one jewel by the lapidary of
the palace out with the words, "Inas-
naiaoh as ye did it to father," the other
jewel by the lapidary of the palace out
with the words, "Inasmuch as ye did it
to mother." clOver the Hills to the Poor-
house" is the exquisite ballad of Will
Carleton, who found an old woman who
had been turned off by her prospered
sons, but I thank God I may flnd in my
text, "Over the hills to the palace."
As if to disgust us with unfilial con -
duo , the Bible presents us with the
st of alicah,who stole the 1,100 shekels
from his mother, and the story of Absa-
lom, who tried to dethrone his father.
But all history% is beautiful with stories
of filial fidelity. Kpaminondas, the war-
rior, found his chief delight in reciting
to his parents his victories. There goes
Aeneas from burning Troy, on his
shoulders Anchises, his father.. The
Athenians punished with death any on-
line conduct. There goes beautiaul Ruth
escorting venerable Naomi across the
desert amid the howling of the wolees
and the barking of the jackals. John
Lawrence, burned at the stake T7i Col-
chester, was cheered in the fie es by
his children, who said, "Oi God,
strengthen thy servant and keep thy
promise!" And Christ in the hour of ex-
cruciation provided for hie old mother.
Jacob kept his resolution, "I will go and
see him before I die," and a little *while
after we find them walking the tessel-
ated floor of the palace, Jacob and
Joseph, the prime minister proud of the
summer afternoons, dreaming over -the
. past, and there was not a room in the
house where he was not welcome, and
there were musical instruments of all
sorts to regale him, and when life had
passed the neighbors came out and ex-
pressed,all hcnor possible and carried
him to ithe village Machpelah and put
him down beside the Rachel with whom
he had lived more than half a century.
Share your successes with the old people.
The probability is that the principles
they inculcated achieved your. fortune.
Give them a Christian percentage of
kliadly consideration. Let Joseph divide
with Jacob the pasture fields of..Goshen
and the glories of the Egyptian court.

ated!" Did not Joseph's' brethren sell
him to a passing Ishmaelitish caravan?
Yet God brought him to that eenblazoned
residence and if you will- trust his grace
in Jesus 'Christ, - you, too, will be em-
palaced. Oh. what a day that will be
when the old folks come from an adjoin-
ing manikin in heaven, and find you
amid the alabaster pillars of the throne -
room and living with the king! They are
coining up the steps now, and the epau-
toted guard of the palace rushes in and
says, "your father's wising, your mo-
ther's coming!" And when under the
arches of precious stones and on the
pavement of porphyry you greet each
'other the scene will eelipse the meeting
on the Goshen highway, when Joseph
and Jacob fell on each other's neck and
wept a good while.
But, oh, how changed the old folks
will be! Their cheek smoothed into the
flesh of a little child. Their stooped pos-
ture lifted into immortal symmetry.
Their foot now so feeble, then with the
sprightliness of a bounding roe, as they
shall say to you, "A spirit passed this
way from earth and told us that you
were wayward and dissipated after we
left the world, but you have repented,
our prayen has been answered and you
are here, and as we used to visit you on
earth before we died. now we visit you
in your new home after our ascension."
And father will say, "Mother, don't
you see Joseph_ is yet alive?" and mother
will say, "Yes, father, Joeeph is yet
alive." And them they will talk over
their earthly anxieties in regard to you,
and the midnight -supplicatiens in your
behalf, and they will recite to each other
the old Scripture passage .with which
they used to cheer their staggering faith,
'9 will be a God to thee and thy seed
after thee." Oh, tbe palace, the palace,
the palace! That is what Richard Baxter
called "The Saints' Everlading Rest."
That is what John Bunyan (exiled the
"Celestial City.'' That is Young's
"Night Thoughts" turned into morning
exultations. That is Gray's "Elegy In a
Churchyard" turned to resurrection spec-
tacle. That is the "Cotter's Saturday
Night" exohanged for the cotter's Sab-
bath morning,. That is the shepherd of
Salisbury plains amid the flocks on the
hills of heaven. That is the famine
struck Padenaram turned into the rich
pasture fleld•of Goshen. That is -Jacob
visiting Joaeph at the emerald castle.

ROBERT WILLIS, SOLE AGENT FOR SEAFORTH.
A London Woman's Club.
It is so unusual, in England at all
events for a club to be independent of
profits,on the sale of intoxicating liquors,
that it is a matter to rejoice over that
women have found it possible to pay
their way as strict temperance people.
In the new club they intend to show
_how, the mons material wants of life
can be provided for both economically
and so elegantly as to tempt into the
saine good paths some at leaet of those
who groan for deliverance from the over-
weening luxury and shameful extrava-
gance of fashionable society. The con-
trasts of grinding poverty and wasteful
wealth are so glaring in London that a
secret shame and misgiving infeades even
the nouveau riche, and if women can
lead the_ way from the luxury. of the
Roman empire to "Roman stmplicity."
. their club may do the State no small
service. Care and dainty tastefulness are
watchwords of the catering department.
In such surroundings the club will invite
%its m embers to be not only units of its
own corporate life, but also te form -
groups for special objects both of work
and of recreation. -From "A Women's
Club hfovement in London," by Mrs.
Sheldon Amos, in American Monthly

Ruth Ashmore, writing of the "Shams
of the Modern Girl," in .the Ladies'
Home Journal, and of "the sham that -is
worse than all others -the religious
sham," says:- "She is the one who is
most conspicuous in speech and some-
times in work; but in her heart hei re-
ligion is simply a means to a very
earthly end. She is prominent in' the

The Electric Cab in London.
The electric cab has taken the popular
fancy in London. The vebicle is not only a
attractive lo appearance, having a body
of bright yellow, but comfortable. The
single seat, with ample room for two
passengere, eis well cushioned and the
fittings are luxurious. The solid tires
give perfect smoothness of running, and
but a faint noise is noticeable from the
motor. The cab drivers of the city are
greatly excited over the innovation.
They have had a mass meeting, at
which the probable effect of the intro-
duction of the new vehicle on the cab
trade of London was discussed. The fol-
lowing resolution was carried: "That
this meeting 'views with disapproval the
hit -reduction of electric cabs on the
streets of London, and urges all cab'
drivers, in the interest of the cab indus-
try, to discourage any further develop-
ment of publio vehicles driven by motive
power." It is, however, difficult to' see
how this "further development" is to be
arrested. r
