The Oddly of 1t.

The woman suffragists apparently
hope to succeed by making their cause
fashionable in New York, and the latest
petition was placed at Sherry's to DO
signed. 1t is odd, but the progress of the
cause daily brings out the fact that some
Of the most prominent of the women in
the movement are the gentlest and most
feminine of creatures, while many wom-
en- who, like Jennie Geddes, would sug-
gest themselves to the eye as possible
agitators, are bitterly opposed to it,

a Generation.
This is my twentytifth anniversary
sermon-1869 and 1891 1t is 20 years
since assumed the Brooklyn pastorate.
A whole generation has passed. Three
generations we have known-that which
preceded our own, that which is now at
the front, and the one coming on. We
are at the heels Of our predecessors, and
our successors are at our heels What a
generation it was that preceded us! We
who are now in the front regiment are
the only ones competent to tell the new
generation just now coming in sight
who our predecessors were. Biography
cannot tell it Autobiography can
not tell it. Biographies are generally
written by special friends of the depart
ed-perhaps by wife or son or daughter
and they only tell the GOOD things. The
biographers of one Of the first presi-
dents of the United States make no rec
ord of the presidents account books,
now in the archives at the capitol,
which 1 have seen, telling how much
he lost or gained daily at the gaming
table. The biographers of one Of the
early secretaries Of the United States
never described the scene that day wit
messed when the secretary was carried
dead drunk from the state apartments
to his own home Autobiography Is
written by the man himself, and no one
would record for future times his own
weaknesses and moral deficits Those
who keep diaries put down only things
that read well. No man or woman that
ever lived would dare to make full rec
ord of all the thoughts and words OF
lifetime. We who saw and heard much
of the generation marching just ahead
of us are far more able than any book
to describe accurately to our successors
who our predecessors were. Very much
like ourselves, thank you. Human ma
ture in them very much like human ma
ture in US. At our time of life they were
very much like we now are. AT the
time they were in their teens they were
very much like you are in your teens,
and at the time they were in their twen-
ties thar were very much like you are
in your twenties. Human nature got an
awful twist under fruit tree in Eden,
and though the grace of God does much
to straighten things every new gener-
alton has the same twist, and the same
work of strengthening out has to be done
over again.

THE PASSING THR,ONG
A GREAT DAY IN THE HISTORY OF
THE TABERNACLE. s.

Tho Twcnty-flfth Anniversary OF Rev. DE.
Talmege's Brooklyn Pas:orate-An Elo-
quent, Appropriate Demonstrating
to Twenty-Five Million Souls.
BROOKLYN, May 6.-This was great
day in the history Of the Brooklyn Tab
ernacle. The figures in flowers back OF
the platform-1869 and 1S94-indicats
ed Rev. DR.. Talmage's time of coming;
to Brooklyn and the present celebration
and were Introductory to the great meet;
ings in honor of DR.. Talmage's PASTOR
ate to take place ON the following Thurs
day and Friday, presided over by the
mayor of the city.and the ex-secretary Of
the.navy, General Tracy, and to be par.
ticipated in by senators and governors
and prominent men from north, south,
east and west The subject Of the SER
mon today was 1.-The Generations +" the
text being Ecclesiastes i, 4, Zone gem.
Grafton passeth away, and another gener-7
alton cometh. "
According to the longevity of people
in their particular century has gencr-
alton been called 100 years, or 90 years,
or 80 years By common consent in our
nineteenth century generation Is fixed
at rs years.
The largest procession that ever NOV
ed is the procession Of years, and the
greatest army that ever marched is the
army of generations. In each genera
ton there are about nine full regiments
of days. These 8, 1876 days in each gener-
alton march with wonderful precision.
They never break ranks. They never
ground arms. They never pitch tents
They never halt. They are never off on
furlough. They came out of the eternl-
ty past, and they move on toward the
eternity future. They cross rivers with
out any bridge or boats. The 600 i'm
mortals of the Crimca dashing into them
cause no confusion. They move as rap
idly at midnight rs at midnoon. Their
haversacks arc full of good bread and
bitter aloes, clusters of richest vintage
and bottles of agonizing tears. With q
regular tread that no order Of "dou-
BILE quick" can hasten or obstacle can
slacken, their tramp is on and on and
on and on while mountains crrlmble
and pyramids die. "Onc generation

twenty-five Years Back.


A mother in the country districts, ex-
pecting the neighbors at her table on
some gala night, had with her own hands
arranged everything in taste, and as she
was about to turn from it to receive her
guests saw her little child by accident
upset pitcher oil over the white cloth
and soil everything, and the mother
lifted her hand to slap the child, but
she suddenly remembered the time
when a little child herself, in her
fathers house, where they had al
ways before been used to candles on the
purchase of lamp, which was a mat
ter of rarity and pride, she took it In
her hands and dropped it, crashing into
pieces, and looking up in her father 8
face, expecting chastisement heard only
the words, ut is sad loss, but never
mind; you did not mean to do 1t. "
History repeats itself. Generations
wonderfully alike. Among that gener-
alton that is past, as i'll our own, and
as it will be in the generation follow
ing us, those who succeeded became
the target, shot at by those who did not
succeed. In those times, as Ill ours,
mans bittercst enemies were those
whom he had bcfriended and helped.
Hates jealousies and revenges were just
as lively in 1869 as in 1894. Hypocrisy
shifted and looked solemn then as now.
There was just as much avarice among
the apple barrels as now among the cot
ton bales and among the wheelbarrows
as among the locomotives. The talloU
candles saw the same sins that are now
found under the electric lights. Home
