DR.. TNMAcE,s MOTHER.
An Eloquent T-ibute to Her Memory oJ
the Famous Preacher.

never write or speak to woman,
saws DR.. Talmage in the Ladies Home
Journal, but my mind wsnders OF to
one model-the aged one who, twenty
four years ago, We put away 1or the
resurrection.
About eighty years ago. and just be,
fore their marriage day, my fatherano
mother stood up in the old meeting
house at Somerville, n. j., and took
upon them the vows of the Christian.
Through i long life Of vicissltude my
nlother lived har,nlessly and usefully
and came to her end in peace. No
child of want ever came to her door
and was turned away empty. NO one
in sorrow came to her but was COM
forted. No one asked her the way to
be saved but she pointed him to the
cross. When the angel of life came to
neighbor's dwelling she was there to
rejoice at the starting Of another I'M
mortal spirit. When the angel Of death
came to that dwelling she was there to
robe the departed for the burial.
We had often heard her, when lead
ing family prayers in the absence OF
my father, say: 20 Lord, I ask not for
nv children wealth or honor, but 90
ask that they may all be the subjects OF
thy comforting grace!' Her eleven
children brought into the kingdom OF
God she had but one more wish, and
that was that she might see her long
absent missionary son, and when the
ship from China anchored in New I orN
harbor and the long-absent one passed
over the threshold of the paternal nome
she said: Now, Lord, lettest thou thy
servant depart in.peace, for my eyes
have seen thy salvation"
The PRAYER was soon answered!
It was an autumnal day when we
gathered from afar, and found only the
house from which the soul had fled for
ever. She looked very natural, the
hands very much as when they were
employed in kindness for the children.
Whatever else we forget, we never
forget the look of mothers hands. AS
we Stood by the casket we could not
help but say: Doesn't she look beau
tiful?" 1t was cloudless day when,
with heavy hearts, we carried her out
to the last resting place. The wither-
ed leaves crumbled under hoof and
wheel as we passed, and the sun shone
on the Raritan river until 1t looked
like fire; but more calm, and beautiful.
and radiant was the setting sun of that
aged pilgrims life. No more toll, no
more tears, no more sickness, no more
death. Dear mother! Beautiful mother!
Sweet is the slumber beneath the 500.
With such mother as an example,
| is it strange that I should always have
cherished the most exalted estimate OF
woman and womankind?

That Remarkable Jury.

Besides that.we have all these years

in the next decade we ought to accom-
piish more for Col and the church

for past Incidence or past trasseres-
sion is by future assiduity. Yet you
often find Christian men who were
not converted until they were forty or
fifty, as old age comes On, saying:
well, my work is about done and it
is time for me to rest" Tnsy gave
forty years of their life 10 Satan and
the world, little fragment Of their
life 10 God. and now they want to
rest. Whether that belongs to comedy
or tragedy l say not. The man WAC

tenths Of your life to sin a2d Satan
and then get converted and then rest
awhile in sanctifed lazisesss and then
