. Washington, Jan. 80.—D9. Talmage
here shows the style of Chrieante charac-
ter required for the times in which we
live and pleads for more heroics. The
text in Esther iv, 14, "Who knoweth
whether thou art oome to the kingdom
for ouch a time as this?"
..
Esther the beautiful was the wife of
Ahasuerus the abominable. The time had
come for her to present a petition to her
infamous husband in behalf of the Jew-
ish nation, to which she had once be-
longed. She was afraid to undertake the
work lest she should lose her own life,
but her cousin, Mordecai,- who bad
brought her up, encouraged her with the
suggestion that probably she had been
raised up of God for that peculiar mis-
sion. "Who lmoweth I whether thou, art
come to the kingdom for suoh a time as
this?"
Esther bad her God -appointed work.
You and I have ours. It is ray business
to tell you what style of men and women
you ought to be in order that you meet
the demand of the age in which God has
cast your lot. So this discourse will not
deal with the technicalities, but only with
the practicabilities. When two armies
have rushed into battle, the officers of
either army do not want a philosophical
discussion about the chemical properties
of human blood or the nature of gunpow-
der. They want some one to man the
batteries and take out the guns. And
efow, when all the forces of light and
darkness Of heaven and hell have plunged
into the ftgbt, it is no time to give our-
selves to the definitions and formulas
and technicalities and conventionalities
of religion. What we want is practical,
earnest, concentrated, enthusiastic and
triumphant help. .
Aggressive Christians.
In the first place, in order to meet
the special demand of this age; you need
to be an unmistakable, aggressive Chris-
tian. Of half and half Christians wo do
not want any more. The church of Jesue
Christ will be better without them. They
are the chief obstacle to the church's ad-
irancement. I am speaking of another
kind of Christian. All the appliances for
your becoming an earnest Christian are
at your hand. and there is a straight
path for you into the broad daylight of
God's forgiveness. You may this moment
be the bondmen of the world, and the
next moment you -may be princes of the
Lord ;God Almighty. Youremember what
excitement -there was in this country,
years ago, when the Prince of Wales dame
here—how the people rushed out by hun-
dreds of thousands to see him. Why?
Because they expected that imme day he
would sit upon the throne of England.
But what was all that honor compared
with the honor to which God calls you—
to be sons and daughters of the Lord
Almighty—yea, to be queens and kings
unto God. "They shall reign with him
forever and forever."
But you need to be aggressive Chris-
tians, and not like those persons who
spend their lives in hugging their Chris-
tian graces and wondering why they do
not make progress. How much robust-
ness. of health would a man have if ho
hid himself in a dark closet? A great deal
of the piety of to -day is too exclusive. It
hides itself. It needs more fresh air, inore
outdoor exercise. There are many Chris-
tians who are giving their entire life to
self examination. They are feeling their
pulses to see what is the condition of
their spiritual health. How long would a
man have robust physical health 'If ho
kept all the day feeling his pulse instead
of going out into active, earnest everyday
work?
strong Characters Needed.
I was once amid the wonderful, bo -
witching cactus growths of North Caro -
ilea,. I never was more bewildered with
the beauty of flowers, and yet, when I
would take up one of _ these cacti and
pull the leaves apart the beauty ,was all
gone. You could hardly tell that it had
eter been a flower. And there are a great
many Christian people in this day just
pulling apart their Christian experiences
to see what there is in them, and there is
nothing left in them.
This style of self examination is a
damage instead of an advantage to their
Christian character. I remember when I
was a boy I used to have a small piece in
the garden that I oalled my own, and I
planted corn tnere, and every •-few- -days I -
would pull it up to see how fast it was
growing. Nowt there are a great many
Christian people in this day whose self
examination merely amounts to the pull-
ing up of that which they only yesterday
or the day before planted. Oh, myfriends,
if you want to have a stalwart Christian
character, plant it right out, of doors in
the great field of Christian i usefulness,
-and though- storms may come upon it,
and though the hot sun of trial may try
to consume it, it will thrive until it be-
conaes a great tree, in which the fowls of
heaven may have their habitaStion. I have
no patience with these flovierpot Chris-
tians. They keep themselves under shel-
ter, and all their Christian experience in
a -small, exclusive circle, when they ought
to plant it in the groat garden of the
Lord, so that the whole atmosphere could
he aromatic with their Christian useful-
ness. What we want in the church of God
Is more strength of piety. The century
plant is wonderfully suggestive and won-
derfully beautiful, but I never look at it
without thinking ot its parsimony. It lets
Whole generations go by before it puts
forth one blossom. So I have really more
admiration when I see the dewy tears in
the blue eyes of the violets, for they
come every spring. My Christian friends,
time is going by so rapidly -that we can-
not afford to be idle.
No Time for Inertia.
A recent statistician says that human
life now has an average of only 32 years.
From these 32 years you must subtract
all thc thne you 'take for sleep and the
flaking of food and recreation; that will
leave you about 16 years. From these 16
you must subtract all the time that you
are necessarily engaged in the earning of
a livelihood. That wlil leave you about
eight years. From those eight Years you
mast take all the --dand weeks and
months—all the length of time that is
pa sed ID sickness --leaving you about one
ye ir in which to work for God. 0 inY
so d, wake up! How darest thou sleep in
bervest time and with so few hours in
which to reap? So that 'state it as a sim-
ple fact that all the time that the vast
majority of you will have for the exclu-
sive service of God will be less than one
year.
"But,"- says some man, liberally
support the gospel, and th�! church is
open, and the gospel is preached; all the
spiritual advantages are spread before
men, and if they want to. be saved let
them come and be aaved—I li&y difie

chlitgeff iill thy respondblifty." Ab, is
that my Master's spirit? Is there not an
old book somewhere that commands us
to go out into the highways and the hedges
and compel' the people to come in? What
would become of you and me if Christ
bad not come down off the hills ofhea-
ven, and if he had not come through the
door of the Bethlehem caravansary, and
if he had not with tbe crushed hand of
the crucifixion knocked at the iron gate
of the sepulcher of our spiritual death,
crying, "Lazarus, come forth?" Oh, my
Chriatian friend,- this is no time for iner-
tia when all the forces of darkness seem
to be in full blast—when steam printing
presses are publishing infidel tracts, when
'express trains are carrying mesaengers of
sin, when fast clippers are laden with
opium and strong drink, when the night
air of our cities is polluted with the
laughter that breaks up from the 10,000
saloons of dissipation and abandonment,
(when the fires of the secondileath already
1- are kindled hi the cheeks of some who,
only a little while ago, were incorrupt1
Oh, never since the curse fell upon the
earth has there been a time when it was
such an unwise, such .,a cruel, such an
awful thing for the church to sleep! The
great audiences are not gathered in Chris-
tian churches. The great audiences are
gathered in temples of sin—tears of un-
utterable woe their baptism, the bleed of
crushed hearts the awful wine of their
Sacrament, blasphemies their litany, and
the groans of the lost world the organ
dirge of their worship.
Get Out of Old Bute.
Again, if you want to be qualified to
meet the duties which Oh% age demands
of you, you must on the one hand avoid
reckless iconoclasm and on the other
hand not etick too much to things because
they are old. The air is full of new plans,
new projects, new theories of government,
new theologies, and I am amazed to see
how so ninny Christians want only novel-
ty in order to recommend a thing to their
confidence, and so they vacillate and
'swing to and fro, and they are useless
and they are unhappy. New plans—secu-
lar, ethical, philosophical, religious, cis -
atlantic, transatlantic -along enough to
make a lino reaohing from the German
universities to Great Salt Lake City. Ah,
my brother, do not take hold of a thing
merely because it is new! Try it by the
realities of the judgment day. But, on
the other hand, do not adhere to anything
merely because it is old.
There is not a single enterprise of the
church or the world but has some time
been scoffed at. There was a tinie when
men derided, even Bible societies and
when a few young men met in dassa-
chusetts and organized the first mission-
ary society ever organized in this country
there went laughter and ridicule 'all
around the Christian church. They gala
the undertaking was preposterous. And
SO also the work of Jesus Christ was
assailed. People cried out: "Who ever
heard of such theories of ethiiis and gov-
ernmiMt! Who ever noticed such a style
of preaching as Jesus has?" Ezekiel bad
talked of mysterious wings and wheels.
Here came a man from Capernaum and
Genneseret, gud he drew his illustrations
from the lakes, from the sand, from the
mountain, from the lilies, from the corn-
stalks. How the Pharisees scoffed! How
He oil derided! And this Jesus they
plucked by the beard, and they spat in
.his face, and they 'called hi -in "this fel-
low." All the great enterprises in and
out of the church have at times been
scoffed at, and there- have been a great
multitude who have thought that the
chariotof God's truth would fallto pieces
if it once got out of the old rut. And so
there are those who have no patience with
anything like improvement in -church
architecture, or with anything like good,
hearty, earnest church singing, and they
deride any form of religious discussion
which goes down walking among every-
day men rather than that which niakes
an excursion on rhetorical, stilts. Oh,
that the church of God would wake up
to an adaptability of workl We must ad-
mit the simple fact that the churches of
Jesus Christ in this day do not reach the
great masses. There are 50,000 people in
Edinburgh who never hear the gospel.
There are 1,000,000 people in London
who never hear the gospel. The great
majority ofthe zinhabitants of this capi-
tal come not under the immediate min-
istration of Christ's truth, and the church
of God in this day, instead of being a
place full of living epistles known and
read of all men, is more like a dead letter
post -office.
Work to be Done.
"But," say the people, "the world hi
going to be converted; you must be pa-
tient; the kingdoms of this world are to
become the kingdoms of Christ." Never,
unless the church hi Jesus Christ puts on
more speed and energy. Instead of the
church converting the world, the World
is converting the churoh. Here is a great
fortress. How shall it be taken? An army
comes and sits around about it, outs- off
the, eupplies and says, "Now we will just
wait until from, exhaustion and starva-
tion they will have to give up." Weeks
and months and perhaps a year pass
along and finally the fortress surrenders
through that starvation, and exhaustion.
But, my friends, the fortresses of sin are
never to be taken in that way. If they
are taken for God, it will be by storm;
you will have to bring up the great siege
guns of the gospel to the very wall and
wheel the flying artillery into line, and
when the armed infantry of heaven shall
ionfront the battlements you (will have
to give the quick command, "Forward!
Charge I" •
Ah, my friends,there is work for you
lo do and fpr me to do in order to gain this
grand accomplishment. I have a pulpit.
I preach in it Your pulpit is the bank.
Your pulpit is the store. Your pulpit is
the editorial chair. Your pulpit le the
myth Your pulpit is the house scaffold-
ing. Your pulpit is the meohanio's shop.
I may stand in my place and, through
cowardice or through self seeking, may
keep back the word I ought to utter,
while you, with sleeve rolled up and
brow besweated with toil, may utter the
word that will jar . the foundations of
heaven with the shout of a great victory.
Oh, that we might all eel that the Lord.
Almighty is putting 'upon us the hands
of ordination! I tell you, every one, go
forth and preach this gospel. You have as
much right to preach as I have or any
man living.
Examples ef Courage.
Hedley Viears was a wicked man in
the English army. I'lee grace of God barna
to him.. He becalm Ali eiirnest and emin-
ent Christian. They sceffed at hint and
a tid: "You are a hypocrite. Yon are as
bad as ever you were." Still he kept his
faith in Christ, and after awhile, finding
that they could not turn him aside by
milling him a hypocrite, they said to
him, "Oh, you are nothing but a Metho-
dist!" This did not diliturb him. He went
on performing his Christian duty until
he had fenced all his troops into a• Bible
class, and the whole encampment was
shaken with the presence of God. So
Havelock went into the heathen temple
In India while the English army was

▪ the frinfistetti bouts) where- rpreParen
for college there worked a man by the
name -of Peter Croy. fte could neither
read nor write, but he was a man of God.
Often theologians would stop in the house
—grave theologians—and at family prayer,
Peter Croy would be called upon to lead,
and an those wise Men oat around, won-
der struck at his religious efficiency.
When he prayed he reached up and seemed
to take hold -of the very throne of the Al-
mighty, and he talked with God until the
very heavens were bowed down into- the

would rather have plain Peter Croy kneel
by my bedside and commend my im-
mortal spirit to God than the greatest

Go preach this gospel. You say you are
not licensed. In the name of the Lord
Almighty, I license you. Go preach tills
gospel, preach it in the Sabbath schools,
in the prayer meetings, in the highways. -
ID the hedges. Woe be unto you if you
preach it not!
Triumph of Truth.
I remark again, that in order -to be
qualified to meet•your duty in this par-
ticular age you want unbounded faith -in
the triumph of the • truth and the over-
throw of wickedness. How dare the Chris-
tian church ever get discouraged? Have
we not the Lord Alinighty on our side?
How long did it take God to slay the -
hosts of Sennacherib or burn Sodom or
shake down Jericho? How long Will it
take God, when he once arises in his
strength, to overthrow all the forces of
iniquity? Between this time and that
there may be long seasons of darkness,
and the chariot wheels of God's gospel
may Seem to drag heavily, but here is the
promise and yonder is the throne, and
when omniscience has lost its eyesight.
and omnipotence falls back impotent and
Jehovah is driven from his throne, then
the church of Janie Christ- can afford to
be despondent, but never until then.
Despots may plan ancl armies may march
and the congresses of the nations may
seem to think they are adjusting all the
affairs of the world, but the mighty ineu
of the earth are only the dust of the
chariot wheels of God's providence. And
I think before the sun of the next cent-
ury shall set the last tyranny will fall,
and with a splendor of demonstration
that shall be the astonishment of the
universe God Will set forth the brightness
and pomp and glory and perpetuity of
his eternal government. Out of the
starry flags and the emblazoned insignia
of this world God will make a path for
his own triumph, and returning from uni-
versal conquest will sit down, the
grandest, the strongest, highest throne of
earth his footstool. I prepare this sermon
because I want to encourage all Christian
workers in every 'possible department.
Hosts of the living God, march on, march
on! His spirit will bless you. His shield
will defend you. His sword • will strike
, for you. March on, march on! The des-
potism will fail and paganism will burn
its idols and Mohammedanisra will give
up its false prophet and the great walls of
superstition will come down in thunder
and wreck at the long, loud. blast of the
gospel trumpet. March on, inaech on
The besiegement will soon be end6d. Only
a few more steps on the long way; only'
a few more sturdy blows; only a fpw?
more battle cries; then God Will put thel
laurels upon your brow, and from the
living fountains of heaven will bathe off
the sweat and the heat and the dust of
the conflict. March on, march on! For
you the time for work will soon be passed,
and amid the outfiashings of the judg-
ment throne ama the trumpeting of resur- •
rection angels and the upheaving of a
world of graves and,the hosanna and the
groaning of the saved and the lost we
shall be rewarded for our faithfulness or
puurshed for our stupidity. Blessed be the
. Lord God of Israel from everlasting to
everlasting and let the whole earth be
filled with its glory. Amen and amen.
She Took the Hint.
At home stations the private soldiers'
washing is usually done by the married
soldiers' wives, who are expected to seW
on missing buttons and do repairs, for
which a small sum is deducted from the
private's pay.
Pat McGinnis had a good deal of
trouble with big laundress; Sunday after
Sunday had his shirt come back with the
neck button off, or else hanging by a
thread. He had spoken to her on the sub-
ject and she had promised to see to it,
but still the button was not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday
- when the missing button had Made him
late for parade, and exclaimed:
"Bother the woman! I'll see if I can't
give her a hint this time, anyhow."
He then took the lid of a tin blacking
box, about three inches in diameter,
drilled two holes in it with a fork and
sewed it on to the neck of the shirt that
was next to be washed. When his wash-
ing came back he found that she had
taken the hint; .she had made a button-
hole to fit it.
Long Distance Telephoning.
A system of long distance telephoning
is reported to have been invented by Mr.
D. McLaughlin Therrell, southern elec-
trician of the Postal Telegraph Company,
whose headquarters is at Altanta. At an
exhibition Cf the apparatus it is said that
audible sounds were transmitted through
resistances equal to 40,000 miles of ordin-
ary telegraph cable. The result is obtain-
ed by having the original transmitter
very powerful and by using repeaters
which take up and magnify the sound at
several' stations along the line. For trans.,:
atlantic+ telephoning it is priposed to have
the repeaters contained in submarine
chambers located 1,000 miles apart.—

as far as neatness goes, and yet
Who has absolutely no idea of orderliness?
His own belongings, clothes, pipes, books,
eto., are allowed to lie all over the house,
and an attempt to put these in their right
places brings down a torrent of grunabling
on his wife.
"Why can not she mind her own busi-
ness? Is nothing private from a womaur's
prying and curiosity? Let her confine belr-
self to her own duties, which would cer-
tainly be improved by a little more care,"
eto.
But other people's untidiness—ah! that
is a theme upon which he is never weary
of talking, and periodically he has fits of
tidying up at home, where life, for those I
ID the house, is one long weariness.
Then nothing is private from his pry-
ing and curiosity; books and papers are
' carefully sorted out and put back in the
wrong places; those Which his wife has
especially laidby for future reference are

because everything' has been put just
where it shouldn't be.
When he has tired Of making 'himself
tboronghly objectionable downstairs, he
goes npstairs and turns out all his boxes
and drawers, and—and leaves them; for
his fit of tidiness does not last sufficiently
long to allow of his reducing the muddle
he has made to neatness; that is for his
wife to do later on.
With a duster, too, he goes about flick-
ing up imaginary particles of dust .which
don't exist, and a piece of string and a
reeIof cotton out of place apparently
cause him agony and are the subject of a
long homily on "the amount of rubbish
whicIlis allowed to accumulate unless
there is some one to take an interest in

Th re are generally premonitory symp-

fit is Coming on—a restlessuneasinese, an
aimless moving of the ornanaents on the
mantelpiece and the reiterated qrtestion,
"Where is that book (or that paper) that
I was reading?" He sighs frequently, too
—a sigh of weariness and hopelessness,
as of t man who battles unsuccessfully
with ibe faults and failings of others; his
face wears a wearied and heartbroken
expression, and little frowns appear on
his forehead. He refuses to make or join

ilightly mad, on one subject at least, a
mania for tidinese—in other people—is at
tnost a harmless idiosyncrasy.
It the fit threatens to be a very bad
one it may be rendered less severe by extra
sweetness and kindness of manner, by
an eecallent dinner or the judicious lead-
ing of the thoughts in another direction.
Or the wife may anticipate her husband
and have a "tidying up" spell on her
o wn account. The bustling about, the
extra dust—which can always be raised if
one goes the right way to work—with a
few gloomy references to a "good clean
up," will usually so tire him out that he
will be only too glad to allow things to
stay as they . arc, that he may enjoy a
little peace and quietness.
Possible. Undiscovered Gas.
Professor William Ramsay has given to
the British Association his opinion that
there is an element, as yet undiscovered,
lying 'between helium and argon when
arranged according to the "perioslio law. ' '
While lexperimenting with helium, in the
attempt to purify it by rediffusion, it wile
foundIthat this gas could be separated
into a heavy and a light part, with densi-
ties o 2.0 and 2.4; continuing the exper-
iment after as many as 180 diffusions of
heliu , the density of the lightest portion
remaiied constant at 1.98, and its refrao-
tivity to light as compared with air was
0.1245,. The spectrum, too, not differing
from helium, one element may therefore
be considered as isolated as pure helium.
The residue ls easily altered in density
by rediffusion, implying a small quantity
of heavy gas mixed •vvith a large quantity
of light gas. The spark opectrum revealed
argon in the mixture te the amount of
1.64 pr cent. by density and 1.14 per
cent. 1y refractivity, leading to the sup-
position that the new gas is contained as
a very 1 small proportion of argon. Neither
helium nor argon forms compounds, so
that the new element as demanded by the
"periodic law" must be determined by
diffusiOn. This method, however, dove
not reveal the existence of such a gas,
thoughl, it by no means follows, Professor
Ramseji holds, that there is no such gas.
1 Wearing Glasses:
The Care of the eyes is perhaps one of
the moat imperfectly understood of any Of
our daily duties. More ills arise from
their mlsuse than the public generally
appreciote. Epilepsy is a frequent result
of eye strain, and a- careful and intelli-
gent obServation will convince most peo-
ple that; more headaches come from abuse
of the cies than from any other cause.
Probably cne-sixth of the adult popula-
tion of this country. would be benefited
by the use of glasses, at least during
their working hours. They tire quickly,
have headaches, the digestive apparatus is
completely upset, there are pains in the
back and a general feeling of dizziness
and nausea, and the true cause is never
suspected. The patient is bilious or nerv-
ous; has indigestion or liver complaint.
The evil Is attributed to everything but
the proper cause. Fit the person to good.

Dear Sirs :—
Some time ago I was treated by one
of our best city doctors for continued bleed-
ing at the nose, and the treatment I was
subjected to weakened my stomach so that
nothing I could eat would agree with me,
and. I could retain nothing but bread and
milk which wasiny chief diet.
I tried a bottle of your Sloan'alIndian
Tonic, and at once began to improVe, and
it has made a permanent cure in my eatie.
I can now partake ot any food, no 'matter
how strong, and experienee distreeis after
eating.
I haicrecommendad it to several people,
and in every case it has given grand results,
and a bottle of it should be inovery house-
hold.
Yoursivery truly,
