Tabwnacle today the Ilghth otlilsa-ries oi
“Sermons to the Women of America, with
Important Hints to Men," His subject was,
”The Grandmother and Her Grandchildren."
A yin-rt (navigation was present. 'l'hoopen—
ing hymn begins:
(live to the rind thy tears,
limp» and be undismnyod; ‘
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
Hod nlm'l lift up thy In)“. ‘
Dr. Tnlnuige‘s text was from ll Timothy,
i, 5; "The unfeigued faith that is, in thee.
which din-It first in thy grandmother Lois."
The clmpient preacher said:
In this Iovolctter which Paul, the old min.
istcr, is writing to Timothy, the young min-
ister, the from! y record is brought out. Paul
practically says: “Timothy, what a good
grandmother you bad. You ought to be bet-
ter than most folks, because not onlywns
your inotlicr good. but your grandmother.
Two proculing [:cncmtions of piety ought to
give you ii mighty push in the right direc-
tion." The fact was that Timothy needed
, encouragement. He was in poor health, hav—
ing a week stomach, and was dyspeptic, and
Paul prm‘cribed (or him a tonic, “a little
wine for thy stoniacli‘a sake"-not much
wine, but a little, and only as a medi-
cine. And if the wine then had been in;
much ndiiltornted with logwmxl and strycli-
nine as our modern wines, he would not have
prescribed any.
But Timothy, not strong physically, is en- ‘
courngml spiritually by the recital of grand‘
niotherly excellence, I'iiul hinting to him as]
hint this day to you, that (Hill M Illll‘lilllt’s
gathers up, as in a reservoir away back 0!
the active generations of today, a godly in-
fliicncc, and then in response to prayer lcts

children and gl't‘ai'Kl‘ttlillt‘lllllll‘t'll. The world
is Win-fully iii want of ii table of statistics in
regard to what is the protrnctcdncss and im-
uiemity ot inilut-nce of one good woman in
the church and world. We have accounts of
how much evil has been wrought by Mar‘
geret, the mother of criminals, who lived
near a hundred years ago, and of how many
hundreds of criminals her descendants fur-
nished for the penitentiary and tlic gallons;

and how many hundreds of thousands of dol- i
lnrs they cost this country in their arraign-
ment and prison support, as" well in in the
property they burglarimd or destroyni. But
will no it some one come out with brain com-
prehensive enough, and heart warm cur-ugh,
and pen keen enough to give iislhe facts in
regard to some good woman of a hundred
yuan; ago, and let us know how many Chris—
tian men and women and rcformcts and use-
fulpfople have been found among herde-
sceiimiiits, and how many asylumn and col—

morning. Cheer up, you are coming within
sight of the Celestial Cit?-
Cuiro, capital of Egypt, was called “(idly
of Victory." Athena, capital of Greece, was
called “City of the Violet Crown.“ Bulllbt‘l‘k
was called "City of the Sun." London was:
willed “The City of Mime.“ Luciiui‘s iinngi»
nary metropolis beyond the when was called
“The Cityw of lanterns.“ But the city to
which you journey hath all these in one, the
victory, the crowns, the masts at those that
have been harbored after the storm. Aye,
all but the lanterns all! the run, because they
have no need of any other light, since the
Lamb is the light thereof.
