A WORK FOR WOMEN.
Dr.. Talmage's Stirring Sermon on
"The Queens of Home"
HerOines of the Fireside and the Bnt-
tlefleld - MinIsterinE Angels
What Her Chief Desire
should BE.

text is Solomon's Song 6, 8: There are
threescore queens"
So Solomon, by one stroke, set forth
the imperial character of true Chris
tian woman. She is not a slave, not a
hireling, not subordinate, but queen.
In former sermon | showed you that
crown and courtly attendants and inn
perial wardrobe were not necessary to
make a queen, but that graces of the
heart and life will give coronation to
any woman. showed you at once at
some length that woman's position was
higher in the world than mans, and
that although she had often been de-
MED the right of suffrage. she always
did vote, and always would vote by her
influence, and that her chief desire
ought to be that she should have grace
rightly to rule in the dominion which
she has already won. began an emu
meration of some of her rights, and now
l resume the subject.
In the first place woman has the spe-
cial and the superlative right of bless
ing and comforting the sick. What
land, what street, what house, has not
felt the smitings of disease? Tens of
thousands of sickbeds! What shall we
do with them? Shall man, with his
rough hand and clumsy foot, go STUN
bling around the sickroom, trying to
soothe the distracted nerves and al
leviate the pains of the distressed pa
tient? The young man at college may
scoff at the idea of being under mater
nal influences, but at the first blast of
typhoid fever on his cheek he says:
"Where is mother?" Walter Scott
wrote partly in satire and partly in
compliment:
Oh, woman, In our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy and hard to please,
When pain and anguish wiring the brow,
A ministering angel thou!
think the most pathetic passage in
all the Bible is the description of the
lad who went out to the harvest field
of Shunem and got sunstruck--press-
ing his hands ON his temples and crying
out: "Oh, my head! Ny head" And they
