How Sisera Was Killed by Jael The Ilutl
News Urn tight to Ills Mother Sitting at
thit Palaoe Window A Eulogy of the
Needle Anxious Mothers.
Brooklyn, Jnn. 14. Thin novel mid
Unique subject was presented by Dr.
ralmago this forenoon to the usual
throngs crowding tho largest Protestant
church in America. Tho congregation,
led by organ and cornet,, sang a gospel
hymn to the tuno of "Home, Sweet
Home." Text, Judges v, 28, "The
mother of Sisora looked out at a win
dow." Spiked to the ground of Jael's tent
lay tho dead commander in chief of the
Canaanitish host, General Sisera, not
far from tho river Kishon, which was
only a dry bed of pebbles when in 1880,
in Palestine, wo crossed it, but the gul
lies and ravines which ran into it indi
cated tho possibility of great freshets
liko tho ono at tho timo of tho text.
General Sisora had gono oat with 000
iron chariots, but he was defeated, and,
his chariot wheels interlocked with tho
wheels of other chariots, he could not
retreat fast enough, and so he leaped to
the ground and ran till, exhausted, ho
went into Jael's tent for safety. She
. had just been churning, and when ho
asked for water she gave him butter
milk, which in tho east is considered a
most refreshing drink. Very tired, and
supposing he was safe, he went to sleep
upon tho floor, but Jael, who had re
solved upon his death, took a tent pin,
long and round and sharp, in ono hand
and a hammer in her other hand, and,
putting tho sharp end of tho tent pin to
the forehead of Sisera, with her other
hand sho lifted tho hammer and
brought it down on tho head of the pin
witn a stout stroko, when Sisera strug
gled to rise, and sho struck him again,
and ho struggled to rise, and tho third
time sho struck him, and the command
er in chief of the Canaanitish host lay
dead.
meaning' of the text.
Meanwhile in the dibtanco Shorn 's
mother sits amid surroundings of wealth
and pomp and scenoi palatial waiting
for his return. Every mother expects
her son to bo victorious, and this moth
er looked out at the window expecting
to seo him drive up in his chariot fol
lowed by wagons loaded with embroid
eries and also by regiments of men van
quished and enslaved. I see her now
sitting at tho window, in high expecta
tion. Sho watches the farthest turn of
tho road. Sho looks for tho flying dust
of tho swift hoofs. Tho first flash of
the bit of tho horses' bridle sho will
catch.
Tho ladies of her court stand round,
and she tells them of what thoy shall
hayo when her son comes up chains of
gold and carcanets of beauty and dresses
of such wondrous fabric and splendor
as tho Biblo only bints at, but leaves us
to imagine. "Ho ought to be hero by
this time, " says his mother. "That bat
tlo is surely over. 1 hope that freshet
of tho river Kishon has not impeded
him. I hopo thoso strange appearances
we saw last night in tho sky wero not
ominous, when tlioBtars seemed to fight
in their courses. No I No! Ho is so bravo
in battlo 1 know ho has won the day.
He will soon be here." But alas for tho
disappointed mother 1 Sho will not seo
the glittering headgear of tho horses at
full gallop bringing her son home from
victorious battle. Aa a solitary mes
senger arriviiig in hot haste rides up to
tho window at which tho mother of Sis
era sits, ho cries, "Your armies aro de
feated, and your son is dead. " There is a
scene of horror and anguish from which
wo turn away.
.Now you seo tho full meaning of my
short text, "Tho mother of Sisera look-
'edont at a window." Well, my friends,
we aro all out in tho battlo of lifo; it
is raging now, and tho most of us havo
a mother watching and waiting for news
'of our victor; or defeat. If sho bo not
sitting at the window of earth, sho is
sitting at a window of heaven, and sho
is going to hear all about it.
By all, the rules of war Sisera ought
to havo been triumphant. He had 000
iron chariots and a host of many thou
sands vaster than tho armies of Jsrael.
But God was on tho other side, and tho
angry freshets of Kishon, and tho hail,
the lightning and tho unmanageable
jwarhorses, and tho capsized chariots
and tho stellar panic in tho sky discom
fited Sisera. Josephus in his, history
describes the scene in tho following
werds: "When they wero come to a
close fight, there camo down from heav
en a groat storm with a vast quantity
of rain and hail, and tho wind blew tho
rain in the tace of tho Canaanites and
so darkened their eyes their arrows and
filings Were of no advantago to them,
nor would' tho coldness of the air permit
the,soIdiers to roako uso of their swords,
while this storm did Hot so much in
commodo tho Israelites becanBO it came
on their backs. They also took such
courage upon the apprehension that God
.was assisting them that they fell upon
the very midst of their enemies and
Blew a great number of them, so that
some of them fell by tho Israelites, somo
fell by their own horses which wero put
into disorder, and not a few were killed
by their own chariots."
Henco, my hearers, tho bad news
brought to the mother of Sisera looking
out at the window. And our mother,
.whether sitting at a window of earth
or a window of heaven, will hear the
news of our victory or defeat not ac
cording to our talents or educational
equipment or onr opportunities, bnt ac
cording as to whether God is for us or
against us.
"Where's mother?" i the question
itnost frequently asked in many bonao--.holds.
It is asked by the husband as
well as the child coming in at nightfall,
"Where's mother?" It is asked by the
ilit tie ones when they get hurt and coma
Ita crying with the pain, Where's
Mother?" It is uke4 by those who '
have seen somo grand Bitrlit or heard
soino good news or received somo beau -
tiful gift,
Whine' innttmr?" Rhn
sometimes
feels wcaiiiid bv tho nues-
. . ,. ., ........ w. . v
tion, for they all nak it and keep asking
it all the timo. Sho is not only tho
first to hear every caso of perplexity,
but she is tho judge in every court ot
domestic appeal. That is what puts
tno prematura wrinkles on so many ina
ternal faces and powders whito so many
matoin.il foreheads. You 'see, it is n
question that keeps on for ull the years
i f childhood. It comes from the uur-
lery, and from tho evening stand whero
the boys and girls aro learning their
tjhool lesson, and from tho starting out
in the morning, when the tippet or hat
or sluto or book or overshoe is lost, un
til nt night, all out of breath, tho young
sters coino in and shout until you can
hear them from cellar to garret and
from front door to the back fence of the
back yard, "Whcro's mother?" In
deed n child's lifo is so full of that
question that if ho bo taken away ono
of the things that tho mother most
misses and tho silenco that most op
presses her is tho absence of that ques
tion, which sho will never hear on earth
again, except sho bears it in a dream
which sometimes restores tho nursery
just as it was, and then tho voice comes
b.ick so natural, and so sweet, and so in
nocent, and so inquiiingthat tho dream
breaks at tho words, "Where's mother?"
If that question were put to most of
us this morning, wo would havo to say,
if wo spoke truthfully, liko Sisera's
mother, she is at tho palaco window.
Sho has becomo a queen unto God for
ever, and bhe is pulling back tho rich
folds of the king's upholstery to look
down nt us. We aro not told tho par
ticulars about the residence of Sis
era's mother, but there is in that sceno
in the book of Judges so much about
embroideries and.needlework and ladies
in waiting that wo know her residence
must havo been princely and palatial.
So we havo no minuto and particular
description of tho palaco at whoso win
dow our glorified mother sits, bnt there
is so much in tho closing chapters of
tho good old book about crowns, and
pearls big enough to make a gate out of
ono of them, new songs and marriage
suppers, and harps, and whito horses
with kings in tho stirrups, and golden
candlesticks that wo know the heaven
ly residence of our mother is superb, is
unique, is colonnaded, is domed, is em
bowered, is fountaincd, is glorified be
yond the power of pencil or pen or
tongue to present, and in tho window of
that palaco tho mother sits watching
for news tiom the battle. What a con
trast between that celestial surrounding
and her onco earthly surroundingsl
What a work to bring up a family, in
tho old timo way, with but little or no
hired help, except perhaps for the wash
ing day or for the swine slaughtering,
commonly called "tho killing day I"
old fashioned mothers.
There was then no reading of elabo
rate treatises on tho best modes of rear
ing children, and then leaving it all to
hired help, with ono or two visits a day
to the nursery to see if tho principles
announced aro being carried out. Tho
most of those old folks did tho sewing,
tho washing? tho mending, tho darn
ing, tho patching, tho millinery, tho
mantua making, tho housekeeping, and
in hurried haivest timo helped spread
tho hay or tread down tho load in tho
mow. They wero nt tho saino timo ca
terers, tailors, doctors, chaplains and
nurses for a whole household ull togeth
er down with measles or scarlet fever,
or round tho houo with whooping
coughs and croups and runround fin
gors and earaches and all tho infantilo
distempers which at somo timo swoop
upon every largo household. Somo of
thoso mothers never got rested in this
world. Instead of tho self rocking cra
dles of our day, wnich, tvound up, will
go hour after hour for tho solaco of the
young slumberer, it was weary foot on
tho rocker sometimes half tho day or
half tho night rock rock rock
rock. Instead of our drug stores filled
with all tho wonders of materia raed
ica and called up through a telephono,
with them tho only upothecary short of
four miles' rido was the garret, with
its bunches of peppermint nnd penny
royal and catnip and mustard and cam
omile flowers, which wero expected to
do everything. Just think of it! Fifty
years of preparing breakfast, dinner
and supper. Tho chief music they
heard was that of spinning wheel and
rocking chair. Fagged out, headachy
and with ankles swollen. Thoso old
fashioned mothers if any persons ever
fitted appropriately into a good, easy,
comfortablo heaven, they wero the
folks, and they got there, and they aro
rested. They wear no spectacles, tor
they havo their third sight as they
lived long enough on earth to get their
second sight and they do not havo to
pant for breath after going up tho em
erald stairs of the Eternal palace, at
whoso window thty now sit waiting for
news from tho battle.
But if any ono keeps on asking tho
question "Where's mother?" I answer,
Bho is in your present character. Tho
probability is that -your physical fea
tures suggest her. If tbero be seven
children in a household at least six of
them look liko their mother, and tho
older you get tho moro you will look
like her. But I speak now especially
of your character and not of your looks.
This is easily explained. During tho
first 10 years of your lifo yon wero al
most all tho timo with her, and yonr
father you saw dnly mornings and
nights. There aro no years in any life
so important for impression as tho firtt
10. Then and there is tho impression
made for virtue or vice, for truth or
falsehood, for bravery or cowardice, for
religion or skepticism. Snddouly start
out from behind a door and frighten
the child, and yon may shatter hiinerv
ous system for n lifetime. During the
first 10 years yon can tell him enongh
spook stories to make him a coward till
he dies. Act before him as though Fri
day wero an unlucky day, and it were
baleful to have 13 at the table, or see
the moon over the left shoulder, and be
will never recover from the Idiotic-
perstitions. You may give that girl bo-

' dress that will iniiko her a mere "dum-
1 - - -
roy frame," or fashion plate, for 40
years, jzemei xvi, 44, "Asistnomotncr
eo is her daughter." Beforo ono decade
has passed yon can decido whether that
boy shall' bo a Shylock or a George
Pcabody. Boys and girls aro generally
echoes of fathers and mothers. What
! nn incoherent thing for a mother ont ot
temper to punish a child for getting
mad, or for a father who smokes to shut

i 'as tounci mm witn an oia stump or a

to rebuko her daughter for staring nt

so arranged ns to repeat her form from
all sides I Tho great English poet's
loose moral character was decided be
fore ho left tho nursery, and his school
master in the schoolroom overheard this
conversatien: "Byron, your mother is
a fool," and heanswered, "I know it."
You can hear through all tho heroic lifo
of Senator Sam Houston tho words of
his mother when sho in tho war of 1813
put a musket in his hand and said:
"There, my son, tako this and nover
disgraco it. for remember I had rather
all my sons should fill ono honorable
grave than that ono of them should turn
his back on an enemy. Go and remem
ber, too, that whilo tho door of my cot

ways shut against cowards." Agrip

and mako Sunday a bore, and bo will
becomo a stout antagonist of Chris

and tho geniality and tho loveliness of
religion, and he will be its advocate
and exemplar for all timo and eternity.
A few days ago right before our ex
press train on tho Louisville and Nash
ville railroad tho preceding train had
gono down through a broken bridge, 13
cars falling 100 feet and then con
sumed, 1 saw that only ono span of tho
bridge was down nnd all the other spans
wero standing. Plan a good bridge of
morals for your sons and daughters,
but have the first span of 10 years de
fective, and through that they will crash
down, though all tho rest keep stand
ing. O man, O woman, if you havo
preserved your integrity and aro really
Christian, ycu havo first of nil to thank
God, and I think next you havo to
thank your mother. Tho most impress
ive thing at tho inauguration of James
A. Garfield as president of tho United
States was that after he had taken the
oath of office ho turned round and in
the presenco of the supreme court and
the senate of tho United States kissed
his old mother. If I bad timo to tako
statistics oiif of this audience, and 1
could nk what proportion of you who
aro Christians owe your salvation under
God to maternal fidelity, I think about
three-fourths of you would spring to
your feet. "Ha! ha!" said tho soldiers
of the regiment to Charlie, ono of their
comrades. " What has made the change
in 3'ou? You used to liko sin ns well as
any of us." Pulling from his pocket
his mother's letter, in which, after tell
ing of somo comforts sho bad sent him,
sho concluded, "We aro all praying for
you, Charlie, that you may bo a Chris
tian," ho said, "Boys, that's tho sen
tence. "
THE needle enthroned.
Tho trouble with Sisera's mother was
that, whilo sitting at the window of my
text watching. for news of her son from
the battlefield, bho had tho two bad
qualities of being dissolute and being
too fond of personal adornment. The
Biblo account says: "Her wise ladies
answered her yea. Sho returned answer
to herself: 'Havo they not sped? Havo
they not divided the prey to every
man a damsel or two, to Sisera a prey
of divers colors, a prey of divers colors
of needlework, of divers colors of nee
dlework on both sides?' " She makes
no anxjous utterance about the wound
ed in battlo, about the bloodshed, about
tho dying, about thp dead, about the
principles involved in tno battle going
on, a battlo so important that the stars
and the freshets took part, and the clash
of swords was Answered by tho thunder
of the skies. What sho thinks most of
is tho bright colors of the wardrobes to
bo captured and tho needlework. "To
Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of
divers colors of needlework, of divers
colors of needlework on both sides."
Now neither Sisera's mother nor any
ono elso can say too much in eulogy of
the needle, it has mado more useful
conquests than the sword. Pointed at
ono end nnd with an eye at the other,
whether of bono or ivory, as in earliest
timo; or of bronze, as in Pliny's timo;
or of steel, as in modern time; whether
laboriously fashioned as formerly by
ono hand, or as now, when 1Q0 work
men in a factory are employed to mako
tho differont parts of one needle, it is
an instrument divinely ordered for tho
comfort, for tho life, for tho health, for
the adornment of tbo human race. The
eye of thonecdlo hath seen more domes
tic comfort and more gladdened pover
ty and moro Christian service than any
other eye. The modern sewing machine
has in no wise abolished the needle, but
rather enthroned it. Thank God for tho
needlework, from the timo when the
Lord Almighty from tbo heavens or
dered in regard to the embroidered door
ot the ancient tabernacle, "Thou sbalt
make a hanging for the door of the tent
of bine and purple and scarlet and fine
twined linen wrought with needle
work," down to tho womanly bands
which this winter in this tabernacle are
presenting for benevolent purposes their
needlework. But tbero was nothing ex
cept vanity and worldlinees and social
splash in what Sisera's mother said
about the needlework she expected her
Eon would bring home from tbe battle.
And I am not surprised to find that Sis
era fongbt on tbe wrong side when bis
mother at the window of my text in
that awful exigency bad her chief
thought on dry goods achievement and
social display. God oaly knows how
many homes havo mado shipwreck on
tho wardrobe. And that mother who
i sits at the window watching for vain-
glorious triumph of millinery and line
colors and domestic pageantry will aft
fir nwhilo hear as bad news from her
children out in tho battlo of lifo as Sis
era's mother heard from tho strugglo at
Esdraelon.
AN ATOSTnOPIin TO MOTIIEUS.
But if yon still picss tho question,
"Where's mother?" I will tell you
whero fche is not, though onco sho was
there. Somo of you started with her
likeness in your faco and her principles
in your eonl. But you havo cast her
put. That was an awful thing for you
to do, but you have dono it. That hard,
grinding, dissipated look yon never got
from her. If you had seen any one
strike her, you would havo struck him
down without much caro whether tho
blow was just sufficient or fatal; but,
my boy, you havo struck her down
struck her innocenco from your faco aud
struck her principles from yonr soul.
You struck her down I Tho tent pin
thrt Jael drove tbrco times into the
skull of Sisera was not so cruel as tho
stab you havo made moro than threo
times through your mother's heart. But
Bho is waiting yet, for mothers nro slow
to givo up their boys waiting at some
window, it may bo n window on earth
or nt somo window in heaven. All oth
ers may cast you ott. Your wife may
seek divorco and havo no moro patience
with you. Your father may disinherit
you and say, "Let him never again
darken tho door of our house." But
tbero nro two persons who do not givo
you up God and mothor.
How many disappointed mothers
waiting at tho window! Perhaps the
panes of the window nro not great glass
plate, bevel edged and hovered over by
exquisite lambrequin, but tho window
is mado of small panes, I would say
about six or eight of them, in summer
wreathed with trailing vino and iu
winter pictured by tho Raphaels of the
forest, a real country window. Tho
mother sits there knitting, or busy with
her needlo on homely repairs, when phe
looks up and sees coming across tho
bridge of the meadow brook n stranger,
who dismounts in front of tho window.
Ho lifts and drops the heavy knocker of
the farmhouse door. "Come in!" is the
response. Ho gives his namo and says,
"I havo como on a sad errand. " "Tbero
is nothing tho matter with my son
in tho city, is there?" she asks. "Yes!"
ho says. "Your son got into an unfor
tunate encounter with a young man in
a liquor saloon last night and is badly
hurt. Tho fact is ho cannot get well.
1 hate to tell you oil. 1 am sorry to
say ho is dead." "Dead!" sho cries as
sno totters Dacir. "un, my soni my
son! my son! Would God I had died
for thee!" That is tlio ending of all
her caies and anxieties and good coun
sels for that boy. That is her pay tor
her self sacufices iu his behalf. That is
tho bad news from tho battle. So tho
tidings of derelict or Christian sons trav
el to thp windows of earth or tho win
dows of hoaven at which mothers sit.
"But," says some one, "aro you not
mistaken about my glorified mother
hearing of my evildoings sinco eho
went aw ay?" Says somo ono else, "Aro
you not mistaken about my glorified
mother hearing of my self sacritico and
moral bravery and strugglo to do
right?" No! Hoaven and caith are in
constant communication. Theto aro
trains running oveiy fivo minutes
trains of immortals ascending and de
scending spirits going from earth to
heaven to livo thero, SpiritH descend
ing from heaven to earth to minister
pud help. They bear from us many
tline.s every day. Do thoy hear good
news or bad news from this battle, this
Sedan, this Thermopylae, this Auster
Htz, in which evory ono of us is fight
ing on tho right side or tho wrong hide.
O God, whoso I nin, and whom I am
trying tp seivo, ns u result of this ser
mon, roll over on all mothers a new
senso of their responsibility, nnd upon
all children, whether still in tho ntii
sory or out on the tremendous Esdraelon
Of middle lifo or old ago, tho fact that
their victories or defeats sound clear
out, clear up to tho windows of sympa
thetic maternity. Oh, is not this tho
minuto when tho cloud of blessing
filled with tho exhaled tears of anxious
mothers shall burst in showers of mercy
on this audience?
Thero is ono thought that is almost
too tender for utterance. I almost ieur
to start it lest I havo not enough con
trol of my emotion to conclude it. As
when wo were children wo bo often
cmo in from play or from n hurt or
from somo childish injustice practiced
upon us, nnd as soon as tho door was
opened wo cried, "Where's mothor?"
and Bho aaid, "Hero I am," and wo
buried our weeping faces in her lap, bo
after awhile, when we get through with
the pleasures and hurts of this life, wo
will, by tho pardoning merjcy of Christ,
enter the heavenly homo, and among
tho first questions, not tho first, but
among tbo first, will bo tho old question
that wo used to ask, tho question that
is being asked in thousands of places
at this very momont tho question,
"Whero's mother?" And it will not
tako loog for us to find her or for her
to find us, for sho will havo been watch
ing at tho window for our coming, and
with the other children of our house
hold of earth wo will again gather
round her, and sho will say; "Well,
how did you get through the battlo of
life? I have often heard from others
about you, but now I want to hear it
from your own Bonis. Tell mo nil about
it, my children!" And then we will
tell her of all our earthly experiences,
tbe holidays, tho marriagps, the birth
hours, tho burials, the heartbreaks, the
losses, tho gains, tho victories, the de
feats, and alio will say: "Never mind, it
is all over now, I 6ee each one of you
has a crown, which was given you at
tbe gate a you came tlnough. Now
cast it at tho foet of tbe Christ who
saved you and saved mo nnd saved ns
all. Thank God, we are uevor to part,
and fcr all theages of eternity you will
never again have to unit, 'Whoro't
mother? "
