T he first of the series of sermons 011 tlie “B eatitudes” was preached Sunday m orning, July 9th, in St. Paul’s Church, by the Rev. Joseph G. Reed. Those who were perm itted to hear the tru th as it was preached from the third verse of the fifth chapter of M atthew m ust have stored away in the halls of m em ory food for many days to come. “Blessed arc the poor in spirit for their’s.is the king­dom .of heaven.”

Ci' T he one th ing this world is seeking ttyter -and needs, and greatly needs; is -happiness, bu t all too many are seeking it th rough the pleasure of the senses' in­stead of th rough the beatitudes. T he

; happiness .tha t is sensual is so much cheaper and. easier obtained than tha t which God has approved and that which dem ands self-denial. The la tter isthe.mpre abiding way, and brings to the heart the true happiness. H appy arc the poor in spirit for their’s is th e kingdom of heaven. I t is barely possible tha t if we would take up the beatitudes in turn som ewhere we should find :ourselves in Our deepest need; for there are so many m oral pictures. Jesus has shown us in these beatitudes that blessings arc to be added until we are completely and eter­nally happy.

P oo r in spirit is put first for the rea­son it is the one condition upon which

. th e : kingdom of heaven is . secured. The g reat though t is, to be of the kingdom

. .of heaven we m ust be hum ble; we m ust stoop to conquer: B eing first, it is in-

'.elusive of a l l : the o ther beatitudes;; the others are the unfolding of the. first. ’ ■

'••• W e m ight ask. what it is to be poor in spirit, th a t it may be to us a precious •treasure. I t is nQt to be poor in world-

: ly estate. .N o! for destitution ’does not necessarily imply happiness. T o be

. poor is often to be in g rea t distress, suf­fering or misery. T o be poor in this World’s goods gives no mart a claim on God no m ore than simply to be rich, and yet there is one beautiful thought. T hat

' is, the heart of the L ord Jesus was won­derfully gentle towards those whose

• worldly lot was hard. l i e loved to em­phasize H is relation to the poor. He was anointed to preach the gospel to the poor. Ortc of the greatest compliments paid to Jesus was the poor heard Him gladly. I t is a great honor to the Son of Goa- th a t he should have manifested

v such a tender feeling for the suffering hum anity around H im . But this tru th has led to one great error— that is that poverty was a virtue, hence all tco long poverty was sought as a means of spirit­ual recom m endation to God, M en put on the sackcloth and ashes. Consoling

•V themselves by this, they were made heirs of the kingdom of heaven. This tendency needs to be branded as a Wrong view, an erroneous principle of conduct Now, we w ant to consider the fact there

H is no virtue in being poor or rich in the• sight of God. I t is not a question of

what I have or have not with God. The man with his riiillions has just as good a show as the poor m an if either of them get irito the kingdom of heaven. They,

\ get it by getting down and recognizing tlieir own littleness. N either do we w ant to confound the poor in spirit with the spiritually poor.

T o be poor in spirit is to be honored of God; to be poor in spirit is to find your way into the graces of the eternal G od; to be spiritually poor is to loose heaven’s blessing and the kingdom of heaven; to be poor spiritually is to dis­grace our calling, is to dishonor your God. T o be poor in spirit is to secure to ourselves the very best heaven .can afford. T o be poor in spirit is to move tow ard the throne of heaven; to be poor spiritually is to move away .from heaven. H ere opens up. to us w hat may be though t to be a U topian idea. T o be

. poor in spirit is to. have a consciousness jof w ant o r emptiness in th ings spiritual./ I t ,is a feeling of unworthiness on the

part of ourselves. I t is being out of con­ceit with ourselves, our honors, ou r wis­dom. W e are nothing and can do noth­ing. W e have often heard the hymn, “ Oh! to be no th ing ,” criticised; b u t it is to me one of the sweetest things w ritten in fullest harm ony with the teaching of ou r .L o rd Jesus. I t is the broken arid contrite spirit tha t is the acceptable sac­rifice to God. T hat is simply requiring w hat is revealed to us in the case of the publican. H e fell 011 his face because he was ovcrwhelmned with his unworth- iness. I t is the spirit; that vatinteth not.

O u r access to the throne and' tho k ingdom is by; the way of ignoring .self; .W e will not be .■proclaiming ourselves better than another. N o, we can’t: af­ford to Kft ourselves above others. W hen

;we: get too. good to. live with others the L ord Jesus had b e tte r take tis hom e. I t is my need that opens' the door. ’ A new grace was introduced with this beatitude. I t : was never,counted; there Aya's- no word in the. cOpious language of Greece to ex­press it until St. Paul carried the .word. W e are familiar w ith the word humility. W e cannot afford to be go ing about saying w e are better than thou. W e will stand up and say, “I am w hat I am

. through the grace of God.”• The right a ttitude before. God is one of humility. W hen we have done our best we are unprofitable servants. W e do not w ant to make any mistake. H u ­mility does no t mean we are to under­rate ourselves— not to talk meanly of myself. H um ility makes honest men and women. W e may think of some gift o r talent of ours until we are vain. \\[e are all exposed to this tem ptation. W hat a little tiling will shut out the sun­light of heaven! T o come into this con­dition of hum ility is to be happy. Iiap p y are such for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. I t is a present and gracious state. Tell me, is the kingdom of heaven two— one for earth and one for upper, regions. W e become possessed of the kingdom of heaven when it conies into us. L et us no t separate;"thb-two. W e' want the joy and happiness all through life. N o t like the m an who cut his bread in strips and pu t the bu tte r on one end and; began to eat a t the other. H e knew lie would come to 1 the b litter before he go t: through. A nd no t like ."o'me who put the. sugar, in the coffee' and never stir it, and find after they have drailk the coffee the sugar is all a t the bottom . W e want the ’’litterand-.su^ar as we go along, ‘ ;■

T h e Book of R evela tion .

BY C. F . LADD.

“ It riam ma Isn’t a Christian.’

An influential lady, the jyife.of a prom ­ising law yer,.w ho had been under deep conviction for several days, gave the fol­lowing account a t our, prayer, m eeting of her conversion: ■ : .. L ast evening m y 'little girl came to me and said:

“ M am ina, are you a Christian?”“No, Fannie, I am not.”She turned and went away; and as

she walked off I heard her say:“ W ell, if m am m a isn’t a Christian, I

don’t w ant to be one.”A nd I tell you, my dear'friends, it

w en t'to m y heart, and then I gave myself up to Christ. . •

M others, do you w ant your children to be what you are?— Selected.

Peace In the Family.

D r. N ewton tells of an old dm pfc-thSf w ere known to have been constantly quarreling for m any years. .. All a t once the strife ceased. T he village gossip called to. inquire w hat had produced the change. She was to ld tha t they kept two Scripture bears in the house, arid it was due to them . T h e 'o n e was ‘‘Bear ye, one ano ther’s burdens;” th e other, “ Forbearing one ano ther in love.” T heir nam es w ere B ear and Forbear. T he ex ­planation, of it was, the old couple had become real, practical Christians.

The m ajority of Christian people know practically .nothing about the Book of Revelation. T o them it is a sealed book, and one which they purposely ignore because too often they have been taught to do f o. '

In these, days of religious liberty and Bible study there is really. 110 excuse for such ignorance.

The very title.'of the book is. enough to cause earnest Christian people to th ink seriously.

B ear in mind that the true title of the book is not that given it by;the transla­tors. but is contained in the first verse.' ■ It is “the Revelation of Jesus Christ,

‘which God gave unto him, to shew '" 'to his servants things which m ust shortly come to pass; and he sent and sighilied it by his.angel unto his servant John .”

. Notice th a t ,it is a revelation, and .that is surely som ething revealed o r made known.

People who say the Book of Revela­tion is a sealed book, arid one that .caii-. not be’ understood, not only dishonor God, but make Iiim a liar.'

Notice, also that it is no t the revela­tion of St. John , bu t of Jesus Christ.: It is the revelation of otir Lord and blaster, which God gave unto Him.- Now, why was it given unto Iiim?- Just lo fill out a certain num ber of books which the New. Testam ent was to-contain? Was it placed in the sacred volume - to mbek us and cause distress and dissatisfaction, because it. was impossible to be under­stood? N o,' not so. W e. are plainly told tha t . God gave this revelation : to Jesus 'C hrist “to shew unto his servants things which m ust shortly come to pass,” and how could it fulfil this unless it be understood?

D ear reader, this revelation “he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John ,” that his servants (all true followers and believers) m ight know of tlie things tha t were to cotrie to p a ss .'

T l\ere are: thus tw o keywords to. a righ t understanding of the book. O ne is revelation; th a t which is made plain and which is to be understood. The o ther is the w ord “sign-i-fied,” o r sym­bolized. I t is a book of signs arid sym­bols', and, the various symbols used in prophecy are clearly interpreted in some portion of G od’s word, “Seek and ye sliall find.” .

Really this book should be studied in connection w ith the book of Daniel, for it is really its continuation. . T hat which was “sealed u p ” in Daniel is “unsealed” in Revelation. ■ ...

N ow note, verse three: “Blessed is lie that readeth, and they , that hear the w ords of this prophecy, and keep those things which are w ritten therein.” . Thus, those who neglect to read it, hear it or keep" (in rem em brance) . those things tha t they read arid hear lose a blessing.-

Reader, do no t be deceived. Search the Scriptures for yourself. Do not be-, licve w-hat you hear just because some preacher says it, for eveii he iriaiy be inis-' taken.

D o no t. le t o ther people do all your thinking. If there was more reading and searching of the word of God am ong Christian people today there would be less heard about discourageriients and doubts and fears, and teachers of false doctrines and the num erous errors of “popular theology” would be few and far between.

A s long as you just “hope so” or “th ink so” you “don-t-know so.” Y ou w ant to know ;,then you are sure.

G e t in to close personal contact with reality. N o “go-betweens,” no th ing be­tw een you and th e divirie reality l W ork on straigh t line's, no t roundabout curves; stra igh t to God, and straigh t to God’s thought. Be satisfied w ith nothing less than.this.— §el. 1 ,

Sharp .the thorns .that rise around tne;. B ut the love that sought and found me, Stills the sigh and wakes the song:

Loved so well, and loved so long.

Y oung women make a big blunder if they do not learn to take care of a home. I t is a grievous- social and m oral wrong when girls a re . b rough t up helpless in moral life. -Iiow often- we see m others engaged in .dom estic'duties like a slave, in order tliat tlie girl may enjoy every luxury and do no thing; indeed, m any hardly -let th e ir-d au g h te rs soil their hands. No woman ought to m arry who cannot look well to the ways of her household. In case she may no t her­self be required to w ork she ough t to be able to see w hether the Work is done in a proper m anner. A Wonian is oiit of her elem ent unless she is acquainted to a certain ex ten t with the sciences of bake-ology boil-ology, stifch-ology, make-ology and meiid-ology. There nev­er was a g reater blunder than to substi­tu te good looks for good qualities. ■ The reason why so many men do no t m ake homes for themselves in ’ these, days- is because, they cannot afford it. The Wo­men are too much aVerse to ' w orking and too extravagant in all . their tastes. W e w ant more' frugality, industry arid system. If we could introduce these vir­tues into ou r h igher society we should dim inish the envy, jealousy arid suicides of the single and the wretchedness, bidc- erings and divorces of the married. Every, girl ough t t o rbe b rought up to have regular domestic duties. Idleness should be forbidden her. T he only d ig­nified life is a useful one.

Influence of the Gospel.

All ■ depends upon man- himself. T he still brings life to som e branches, life and death to others. If a branch is on the tree, and the tree is .properly rooted' in the soil,, the stin will bring life to it; but, if the braneh.be am putated, th e sun, will w ither it to d e a t h . I t is the same .stin, aiul tlie branches h a v e ; grow n in the sam e forest, o r even on th e same tree; and yet th e shining of the sun means life to the one and death to the o th e rs I t is precisely so w ith1 the gospel.-—Sel.

T h e M in is t ry o f f lu s ic .

W e have read of a G recian m other Who saw her child on the brink of a prer cipice. T o shotit to it m ight only quick­en its vagrant feet to wander closer to tlie edge, o r so startle it with fear as to Cause it to topple over. She lifted her voice in a familiar1 hymn, and lured the little one back to i l e r side. So many, a sinner has been led to Christ, won by some.sweet song. Few hearts can w ith­stand the power of a jileading.song. You may talk to a m a n :about religion, and: lie will dispute with you. In an argu­ment lip; may worst you, perhaps; but sing hihi'-a G iris tia iiso iig -—something;, i t lriay be, heard at his m other’s knee long years ago— and how lie trembles! There is a familiar story of a ScotclrSc. dier wlit) lay- clyihg. iii .one of Our hos­pitals during the Civil W ar. '.A minis­ter, came to him, himself a. Scotchm an, to tell him of C hrist and Iiis 'lo v e . But the man turned over on his face and: ■would riot listen, l i e said, ‘D on’t talk to nie about religion!” The m inister was silent ft m om ent;' then- lie began to' sing a familiar hymn of- Scotland. • I t was • that beautiful one composed by D avid Dickson, beginning: . ;: :

. “0 m other'dear, Jerusalem ,■ W hen shall 1 conic to thee?”

H e sang it, to i!;e, tune of "D undee.” .Everybody; in Set land know s that. As lie was singing, lli.r dying soldier turned over oii' his pillow aud said to the mm-r- ister, “ W here: .c id . you. hear tliat?” , “ W hy,’* replied.the m inister, “ my m oth­er taught me that.” "S o ' did m ine,” said the dying . soldier, and the very fountains of his heart were unsealed, so tha t then and there lie yielded himself to Christ. Oh, it has a charm , a wonder­ful,, an alm ost irresistible force, this C hristian-song. I t has ne.ver yet been overestim ated. The great m eetings of evangelists all show it. T he solos of Phillips and Stebbins and Sankey and Bliss, and hundreds of others, all show it.' T he chorus of a great choir is often still more impressive. N o person who h as watched a great congregation lis­tening to the mighty, chorus of a sacred song from a large body of trained sing­ers can ever doubt the value of such a service as. a' means of religious im pres­sion.— G. B. F. Hnllock, D. D.

P o w e r of th e H u m a n W ill.

Dr. G eo rge . M. Beard say 's:‘.“The- force of will >5 a potent clem ent-in deter­m ining longevity. This s in g le . po in t in list be gran ted w ithout argum ent,. T hat of two men every way- alike and similarly circumstanced, the one who has tl ie 'g re a te r courage and g rit will be longer-lived. O ne does h o t ' need .to practice medicine long to learn tha t ipen die who m ight just as well live if they .re­solved to live, and that myriads who are invalids couid become, strong if they, had the native o r acquired, will to vow they would do so. Those who have no o ther quality favorable to life, whose bodily o r­gans are nearly all, diseased, to wiiom each day is a day of pain, who are-beset by life-shortening influences, yet do live by will alone.”

Telling your doubts to those W hom you would help is p o o r business for you r­self or for others. T elling 'w h a t you know or firmly believe, o r are sure of, is likely to be a decided, lielp to others. Everybody."who thinks a t all has his doubts. H e had no aid from you in tha t line. If, therefore, you cannot di­rec t o r aid him as to w hat he m ay rest on as sure and certain, you' had better keep your m outh shut.

A. very strong man once swung his sharp axe Upon his shoulder, saying lo himself, "I'm oft for the woods now for n little while." ■ •

.-•/ The little birds, who are said to carry the news, straightway flow to the forest and said lo tiie trees, standing round, "You trees had better look out. A big man is. coming with 11 very sharp axe. We saw him headed this way.”• All a t once the forest was sliakoil ns by a mighty wind. ■ The trees boweil themselves this way and tliat, and shook for very fright, and .the ra in ­drops of u recent shower th a t1 had nestled among the leaves as they fell seemed like falling tears.-

jSuro enough, very soon l.he big man . was seen crossing an open lot, liurry- «’• Ing towhrrts the woods. When he came

lie looked around. One llttlo sapling leaned up against its neighbor, saying.

. “I t 1 can 't stand alone, he surely, won’t take me." A second tree bout clear

.-Over, almost lo the ground, for it■ thought: "No man will want such, a

crooked stick nS I am .’’; They were afraid of the sharp axe. you. see. There

■ were two other trees th a t stood up as .-' stra igh t as they could, saying one .to

the other,"Let's lio brave. Trqes. can't expect to always stay right here. Any­way, w o will not play the coward." .

Along came the woodman. . Me saw all these tre e s .. Of course',.. he didn't ■want u treo tlin t could not stand alone, nor would he stop then to cut dowi) a sapling that w a s all. bent over. These two trees thought ju st right .about that. As lie looked at the twi; tall,

,' shapely trees he said: "They will do by and by. I’ll want them . in ' n few years." Saying this, lie cut a small m ark on each ono of them. It hurt

' a little, but they stood it very well. From that time on they were mark-

ed trees. They felt sure they were ■going to lie used .for something good after a time. Really, they began to

‘ ' I>lty their neighbors who probably• would stay tlioje all their lives, or be

cut down and split up Into ever so m any piece*. •

A few years after this the birds came i Hying again to the forest .with the same

old story—"The big man's coming, and the axe .is over . Ills shoulder, and

. It's very, vei'y sharp today, for we saw him wetting it up just before he sta rt­ed.!'.: . ; / . . v :•? ;.• A t th is what a sighing among the

trees! W hat n sighing among the trees. They all sound like pines, and sw ayed'like weeping willows—all except two.. When the woodmnn came lie remem­

bered the place. Of course he didn't ' want the lennlng tree, nor tho poor

bentover one, but he hurried to where the tivo tall stra igh t trees-were stand­ing. Ho saw the marks there—“blazes,”

. he called them— made years ago.. Now see the chips fly as the axe swings. Of course it hurt. • Down came tlio trees. Then they were trim ­med, arid dragged out into the open Held, and then off and away to the road and the mill. • ' ■

This Is w hat became of , them: A -great ship was building on tho docks, and a .main-most was. needed. And liere it was—one of our brave trees. Polished and rounded, it was firmly secured deep down in the mighty ves­sel. ■ Tho sails were rigged. Then

>i came tiie,voyage. The winds filled the /•'.canvns, and how th e gay ship sped ; over the bounding waves! Our brave f t t e e i stood Arm. W hat'a noble mast It

mnd^.'-\Oh, how often it said: "How glad 1 aril I stood up brave anil straight

. -when a sapling. Here I am now. W hat n grand and. glorious life this! F nr better than to drop a useless trunk' In the woods 'by and by.”

And the second tree—what, was Its fate?.' They needed n polo on the Cap­itol grounds, that, highest of All In the

' . city, would fly the largest flag. Here was Just what was needed In: our brave, noblo tree. How proudly it stood for

; -years, holding the glorious flag as It floated over a nation’s Capitol. Men of stato and church stood about nnd touched their hats reverently. W hat a splendid life our tree lived! Of course It .hurt a little to be cut away back In the sapling days; but it was worth while, w asn 't ,It?

The other two who were called "Lean- over” and "Bent-down'' by their fel­lows, were cut' away .after a while, and ended their duys hi the old kitchen as fire-wood.

Boys and girls—can’t you see the point of th is tree story? AVlio will

Henry Ward Beecher put their case clearly when he described them as those who took God’s ticket to heaven, and then lifted their baggage on their shoulders and tramped the whole way to the Celestial City afoot. Surely, if we can tru st • God w ith . our sojils,, we can also trust Him with our lives. .v. . ,

Is there a fairer s ig h t-th an • that; of children early led in the s traigh t and narrow way? - T rain up a child, in tlio way that" he should go, and when he is old lie will not tlepart from it,' is the assurance of . inspiration. Life is a way,- a paili; as wu begin, so we pro­gress.- - ..V

Aiid yet the practice, if not the theory,, of many Christian households is to leave children in the early and jilastl'c years to their own devices so far as'religion is concerned. They are occasionally taken to. church on thb Lord’s Day morning: almost iiover taken to prayer meeting during tiie week.. They go, a t their pleasure, to a church which their parents Ido not a t­tend .' The pew iaiposcs ou them dur­ing- the first twelve..years of life no obligation and .awakens no sonso of re­sponsibility.

%‘My children attend Sunday School regularly,” the mother explains com­placently, as. if that settled; the. wholoi matter.- The Sunday School,ns an ad­junct of the church .is : beyond praise,, but it is not, and never was intended to bo, a substitute for the church Itself, nor a substitute, for direct personal training on .the part.of parents. \ •

During a recent v isit to Lynchburg,, Va., I attended the W estminster P re s­byterian Church of th a t city, of which tho Rev. Robert II. Fleming, D. D., is the beloved aiul successful-pastor. Dr. Fleming’s ch u rch ’was to me most in­teresting for the reason th a t I saw,’as Wo used, to see in tlio North more fre­quently than iiow, .whole families, and large families a t that, seated together; In the pew. Bonny boys and girls, fair slips of maidenhood, little tots jiist out of. baby days,., wore in church with their, fathers and .mothers. A llttlo one,; growing restless, would be gath­ered la the father's'arm s, and perhaps fall asleep on his broad breast.

Poople say, why take children to church when they tiro too young to un­derstand what they hear?. For this reason: tliat the habit of church-going Is formed, as; pther good -liabiis are^- and bad ones, too—by degrees, nnd the first'six or seven years of life lay the

.foundations of tills habit for all time. Then; too, children absorb and. assim­ilate before they, understand, and they comprehend a 'g rea t deal more of what they hear and see than .we usually give tliem 'credit for,

I. was glad to worship a t a prepara­tory service, held also for tiie. baptism of infants, on Saturday morning, in a lecture room, where children had come as a m atter of course, with their par­ents, If. one should go through tills congregation the probability.,, is th a t a family a lta r would be found, in. every house.

Not merely once a year, in Children’s Sunday, dear friends, though this is beautiful, bu t.a t'every service, let tho dear children be found in their places, learning of Him who still says, “Suffer them to come unto me.”—Chrlstlau In­telligencer. ;;._. • .

Dr. .Cotton, a medical missionary and the physician of the eminent Chin- eso statesman, LI Hung Chang,, when he called on one occasion on his pa­tient found him deeply interested in tho Bible* a copy o f which had been presented to him. During a conversa­tion which followed tire Chinaman asked th e doctor how lie knew the book to be true, and tho latter, an­swered as follows:

“By a sign tha t the book itself men­tions. Is it not w ritten th a t a bad tree can bring forth no fruit, and a good tree no bad fruit? Your Excel­lency has already admitted th a t tl}e condition of the people In western lands is far better than in tho Orient, and I can assure you tliat the. pros­perity and happiness of the .various na­tions that you recently visited corre­spond exactly to the dogreo'ln which thoy jfollow, the precepts of this booki,,

Twd things in tills answer .arc worthy of special attention—the fact tliat Christian nations surpass all non- Christian nations; and tha t the “pros­perity and happiness” of the Christian people “correspond exactly to the de­gree in.whicli they follow tiie precepts of this book.” The first of these points is usually recognized, but the second is quite generally overlooked. •;

A Christian Indy who belongs by In­heritance and culture to tlio highest social cli-clo In our country, whose great-grandfather, was one of tho sign­ers of tlio Declaration of Independence,11 President of -th e United States, writes me for ndvlce In regard to let- . ting her daughters go lino what is called society in tlio city In which they • live, i t seems th a t there, ns else­where, a cliiss of -people, wlio.havo more or less money and some culture, but who are Selfish ami conceited, call themselves “ society." If you exchange visits with - them, if you go to their parties and they accept invitations to yours, you are "in society.”

The doings of these society folks are chronicled In' tho dally papers.'‘ The reporters tell us .not only who are present nt their receptions, etc., but liow.-jvery lady was dressed, and what tlio meitii ivas th a t tempted.and tickled the appetites of the guests. These so­ciety people seem- to forget the Sav­iour's admonition not to take thought, saying, " W h a t , shall wc eat, or what shall w e drink, or wherewithal shall ,we bo clothed?” These aro the things that they think about and talk about and live for. When they meet togeth­er: It Is to gratify their vanity or their appetites, and to be amused. Hence In connection with- their showy toilets and costly wines, thoy have pastimes tha t are as tinlritollcctiial ns possible. They dance, they play-cards,- they have filled singers to sing for th.em, etc.

Tho conversation a t these social (?) gatherings Is of the frothiest kind. It Is ns freo from any intellectual or moral purpose ns ,tlio chattering of magpies. This style of fashionable society Is one of the inventions of the devil. Its whole tendency is anti- Christian, earthly; Rensual. And yet how fascinating tho charmed circle is to many of the young m en ant) maid­ens-in our/C hristian homes! If they could .only get “into society” how hap­py they would bo! They w a n t to learn to dance nnd to . piny cards, in order to be a t home in those-scenes of friv- olty where people forget that they havo souls,'and.arc taught to live as If they ■were butterflies.

We need sociability that Is free from cant on one side and from frivolity ou the other. I t is high time for a move­ment all along tlio line to Christianize ’'society,” for It Is one Of the most heathenish of our.modern Institutions.

The radical error In our social Inter­course Is th a t peoplo. conio to g e th er ' merely for amusement. They seek for pastimes. They havo' no Idea that tliQso they-visit or entertain have any- 'intellectual or moral claims upon them. • Their-sole aim Is mutual enjoyment. But wo meet In society as men and women who have souls, and who aro in a sta te of preparation nnd probation for an endless future. Henco when wo conie together we should try either to tench or to lenrn something; to be­come wiser nnd better ourselves, or to make others wiser and better. God did. not give us minds nnd hearts and souls tha t we m ight herd together like boasts, or go in flocks like birds, but that wo might help each other as fel- low-pllgrlms on 'the way to heaven.— Tho .Occident. ■• ’ - .. .

Somebody had ju s t given h e rr . box cf very beautiful beads. The little child ran to her papa immediately to show this little gift. “They are very . beautiful, my child;” he said;, “but noiY; my deal-, throw them: behind tho lire.” The little girl looked for a moment, - I t was a great tr ia l.

tlio little child bogan in'-lier own way to think, “ l'’nthdr lias always been kind to. m e;-T . suppose, it is right;” And sho took tbo box and with a great effort Uiroiigli it behind tho fire.

Tlio next day, however, ho presented her with something fnr moro beautiful, and which sho long desired. “Now.” said he, “my child, I did this to teach you to .tru s t In tliat greater Father in heaven. Many times in your life, ho will require you' to glvo-up and to avoid what you cnnnot seo the reasons for avoiding; but, if you triiBt th a t Father as you.have trusted me, you will always find it best:” .

In a late issue of “The Philadel­phian” Col. Jam es M. Scovel, of Surf and Ocean avenues, writes of Ocean Grove in this wise:

“Ocean Grove has Kept tlie promise made by the April gathering, which promised an earlier season, beginning in June and ending in September.

“Last Sunday Itev. Dr. Curts, of Cin­cinnati, Ohio, a leading light in the Methodist Church, delivered tne open­ing sermon In the Auditorium, which was as lino an address of ono hour as will. be heard, by the sounding sea this summer. Ho took advanced ground oh tho tempereanco issue, keeping, liie crest full high advanced on that ground as tho Methodist Church has done for many years.

“Bishop FitzGerald had told the ora­to r to spice his sermon with patriot­ism, and the, good Bishop said Brother C urts .had followed tho suggestion made by the Bishop. The orator from Cincinnati was for McKinley and for expansion, and his audience was with liim .y And on the subject p t .woman suffrage the reverend speaker n\ade no uncertain sound, as lie declared "that a', republic’th a t disfranchised woman was-

/ no t a complete edifice of liberty. Rev. Dr. Curts’ sermon was a sound, pa­triotic, doctrinal discourse, creditable in its literary execution and., eloquent in its m anner of delivery/ : ; ; ■

“On Saturday night 'last .'Tali. Esen ' Morgan, the head of the. niuslo depart­m ent o f‘ Ocean Grove, gave a can ta ta : ■called 'The Fall ‘ 6f Babylon/. Hia famous choir had only ten days to re-

-of the honors already won by this New '"'Jersey candidate for musical fame.

“Tho Fourth of July was a day long to be remembered.' Lawyer Patterson, of Asbury Park, read the Decla­ration of Independence, arid read It well. B ut the great feature of the day was Corporal Tanner’s oration. Tho- -Corporal is a famous man, a brave sol­dier, both of whoso legs were shot off T>y Stonewall Jackson in tho Rebellion (July, 1863). Then Mr. Tanner, was Commissioner of Pensions under Bert Harrison, President, and tlio la tter turned him out because lie became too popular... “Tanner looks like as if he had En­

glish blood in him, but lie is an orator• of tho Mlraheau class, a man .who has ‘swallowed, all the form ulas/ It was an eloquent and a red-hot patriotic address of a soldier, who told w ith , em inent vividness how forty thousand soldiers gave their lives a t Gettysburg

itev. S. Kdward Young,'pastor of tho. Second Presbyterian 'Church, of P itts­burg, a t tlie-conclusion oi his sermon a t .the music stiind 'In Sclienlcy park last night, whore ho was greeted by an audi­ence of 15,000 people, said to a Post representative the reception the people had. accorded , him, in his decision! to preach the tru th in the park against tlio strong opposition: of one presbytery, and .of the religious press, was an in­dorsement of his course,, iin d ' he felt, encouraged' to continue, tits worli.:

-He saUl tlia t In deciding to preach in. tlie park he had been guided by a desire to reach the masses of the:people who frequent .the park.Sunday evenings to get the beueflt of the. pure air, that be­ing the only day in. the week th a t they have the opportunity to go .there, as a large’ majority of those who listened to him came from among, the masses, who earn: their living by the sweat of their brows—not tho.depraved nnd out­casts of the city, but'tho representative Working men from the middle class, who go there with their families for needed recreation. He expressed the opinion th a t these services could .be' made popular with the people,1 and would result in great good in rousing religious Interest .in. the hearts of the lukewarm Christian, as' well as tne lion-cli'urch goer. . Continuing', Mr. Young said:■ "This Is my las t service un til1 the evening of.the.first Sabbath In Septem­ber, when I ‘will again- take up the work , nnd .prosecute it in the In terest• of God, and the people,' I believe I am righ t in the premises, and shall not be deterred from preaching the. tru th -to those who Will receive it by any manner of opposition th a t may, think different from my views,”

Large audiences were- present nt each • of the ninny services held insl Sunday. Subbnth Observance was tho prevailing and pervading theme.

A t. the Young People’s Meeting in the .Temple, Dr. Lowrle, the lender, was assisted by Dr. It. 11. tfoherty. A djutant McKenzie, of the Siilvalion Army, sang a solo. Miss Grace Fitz­Gerald also Sang, and was accompa­nied by her brother, itay FitzGerald, on the violin. . . •

There was the usual interest.and fer­vor a t the Holiness Meeting, in cliargq of the Devotional Committee.

A largo audience attended morning worship in the Auditorium, where ser­vices in recognition of Sabbath Ob­servance were held, the preacher of the morning being Rev. 1. W. Hathaway, General Secretary of the American Sabbath Union: An organ prelude of exquisite melody was performed by Prof. von Nardroff. As appropriate lo tho occasion tlio hymn selected for opening tho Bervlce was "Welcome, Sweet Day of Rest." Dr. O’Hanlon of­fered p rayer.. Tho Bradford Trio played “Hover O’er Me Holy Spirit,” w ritten by the late Dr. Stokes; and set to music by the Into Prof. Sweney. This was particularly appropriate, as Suilday was the second anniversary of till/ death of Dr. Stokes, whom Bishop Fi'izGcralil fitly eulogized and publicly th inked God for Ills life and works. Tlje audience joined In singing a verse ontlils beautiful hymn, which' will live to j all time as a memorial to both its ayjhor and tho man who gave It such a fich setting in music.

/The . morning lessons were read by n tv . Hathaway, who selected passages oil Scripture demonstrating tiie fact tlja t the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. ;

, j Dr. Hathaway’s text-for his sermon was found in Exodus xx, S—"Romcm-

,'her the Sabbath day to. Keen, it holy,"| which, as he said, was nothing new I and would not startle any one, yet the ' bare annouhceincnt of the text should

i cause the heart to leap and pulses bound when we remember what is in ’t, Of all divine gifts, said Lord Be a conafielil, Sunday is tlio most divine tho greatest of all gifts, except tho gift of the Only Begotten Son. We aro living in an ago fast approaching tho Greeks when they reached their acme. The fad o f . today is "up-to- date." There ia or may be some In splration in 'th is up-to-date Idea, hut there is a ’danger in it. We are apt, in its consideration, to leave some­thing behind. There is a danger in it, because the old things lire true, for

- God is Ihe same today and forever. W hat we need today is a now appro- elation of the old tru th , eternal, tru ths which cannot change.. This Sabbath day Is.one. of these old .truths—truer than anything new. Let us learn to love, to appreciate the old truths. There are some things that liavp been laid aside permanently. Let us build on these foundation stones. Let us go on to perfection.

This text manifests the love of God as.no th ing else does, save the gift of H is only Son. To all you who are en­gaged In teaching, of the Sabbath It Is the charter. The Sabbath School Is a

; larirt part of the Church ot Christ, part to which the official boards and pastors should give their especial nt

- tentlon. No one thinks of the church ns an institution to promote the wel­fare of man, as a stock hoard or ex­change; bui it ia an Institution to save men. I t la a faithful saying that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. This is ii great funda­mental truth the church must tell tho world. The life of the church and the Sunday School resls In the Sabbath day. . The institution of the church second to the lustitution of the Sab­bath day. Upon its bosom rests tho church and in it depends Its very life.

How many of the people of this land are In the church? IIow muny keep the Sabbath day holy? The church to­day Is a Sampson shorn of its locks by

. tho desecration ot the Sabbath. Tens of thousands, are out on their wheels, tielng brought into the atmosphere of the roadhouse and the saloon. Tens of thodsands on trains, that they may ho a t business on Monday. Thousands aro reading their Sunday newspapers. Missionary, fields are crying out - for help. Money is being spent in festive occasions today, for the pleasures of tho flesh—money that should come into the house of God. Missionaries in tho west cannot preach tile gospel savo in homes because they have no Sabbath. Tbe church Is languishing today, shorn of Its power, because the sacred cliaraoter of the Sabbath- is

• gassing 'aw ay. This is ' the greatest Question In . our land today .. I t is broader and deeper than any other question th a t can be brought beforo our people. W ithout the sacred char- acter of the Sabbath day we cannot

. conserve tiie best interests of tills country. When Spain lost her con-

.eolehcb.she lost her empire. If you■ ’will take the time to study It, you will

find a thousand things percolating into the Sabbath. We are being under­mined. Tiie moral power of tho Amer­ican peoplo Is being sapped away. Taito Sunday wheeling for instance. Trips aro arranged. The company is not select. The young lady looses the bloom of her maiden modesty. Tho worm has entered' the heart of her spiritual clinracter. Thousands of our young'people are sucked In by the vor- tex t of Sunday, wheeling. They in­dulge in it under the pretext of rest and recreation. Are they refreshed or rested?

Somo men think tho Sabbath was mado for Indulgence in sport. The Sab bath was made for man’s spiritual na ture. Every gift of God Ib good. The Sabbath day profaned is a curse that will send us down to. the lowest depth of hell. Tho Sabbath defends the home, the nation and tho church

/W ith o u t It you can have no spiritual life. Tho Sabbath of America will be

■ saved or lost hy the Church of Christ.. I t is in tlio hands of the church. If It

is lOBt, It will be lost by tho indiffer­ence of tho church.

Ten years ago it was estimated there tvero 2,000,000 of.roen cdmpelled to w ork, on Sunday. Today thero are over 3,000,000. Tho evil is growing, and we are giving It our assistance. There are m any-evils done under the plea of necessity and mercy. Work on the Chicago: postofllce on Sunday was stopped by President McKinley. Has

this world outgrown- the moral law of God? H ave we becomc so great that we are outside the moral law? Wc arc told the moral law has been repealed by the gospel. Wc are.'to ld we are not living under the law, but under grace. The moral law of God can no more bo repealed than can the sun­light he repealed, God wrote this law with His own linger. c'/':'-";■ The cry is. th a t there 'Is n o : other time to Indulge iii- pleasure than on the Sabbath. The Sabbath day is a religious; day,;: n ..day, fo r sp iritu a l' lj&>. If the church should rise today tis one m an-tlils country'jWould be saved; The future of the century fo come, will de­pend upon the right settlem ent .of this question. Let us .praise: God for the Christian sentim ent of Great Britain against the Sunday newspaper. - May. God hasten the, day when >ve' in this country shall have /no Sunday nows-; papers. ■ i ’ / - a / / aa... a / The. several departments of the Sun­day School and Dr. 0 ’HahIon|s Bioio Class were well attended. A t the la t­te r among these who participated in the discussions were Dr. Thomas, Dr. George Cory, Senator McClelland, Dr. Hurst and others.

The Sabbath Observance topic was continued a t the evening service. In the Auditorium. Addresses wero made by. Dr. .Hathaway and.Dr. Eugene May. A solo , was sung -by Madame Ogden- Crane, and the choir rendered "Vital Spark of I-Icavenly Flam e.”

“ O Lord, Revive Thy: 'Work I ’

■; T hat'a .genu ine revival of pure and undefiled religion, is greatly needed, is the confession of nearly all evan­gelical: m inisters and church members throughout Christendom. .In the light of history it loblts as though nothing else would save the cause' in Christian lands or reach the millions in heathen and pagan, countries: . It is also con fessed.by nearly all real Christians tha t Ihe only way to secure such a revival is to have a consciousness of the marvel­ous outpouring pf the Holy Spirit upon all -ilcsli. -• ■ ' :a ’ ‘ '

How.'to secure 'this has ever been the great question with the faithful, from Moses, Peter, James.- John, Paul;-': St. Augustine, Luther, .Wesley, Fletcher, Edwards, to our day. All of- God’s re- vlvals in the past have been preceded by great humility, earnest prayers, wonderful consecration,: great person­al'effort, and a never-failing faith in- the' Gospel of the blessed God, believe- ing i t sufficient to ' save all who will come and comply with its conditions. I t will not/fail today. I t will h o t fail tomorrow. It.w ill never, fail, hut will ever be. the power of God unto salva­tion to all who will believe.. My dear brother in the ministry, aro yod preaching and. living the old Gos­pel? My.dear brother iii the member- sliip, are you commendating this won­drous Gospel of Christ to your family, <o your associates, nnd to all with whom, yo« mingle?:. "Ye are the. light of the world;’’ said ttiie Master of His disciples. Are yau? H ow far does your light shlpe? Does it shine in the church; in the social meetings, in your business? Are you living for, the World: to come, or, for this world which so. soon shall pasa a-vay?

Oh, for a general sp irit of prayer to come upon m inisters, officials, young people, and ail of the church—bishops, presidings elders, pastors,: evangelists, officers of the Leagues, .Sunday school officials, teachers, and to all'w ho claim to be. the children of the living God! Then sh a ll'th e , revival so long waited for come—and not until then. "Awake, Jerusalem !” “A w ake,. stand in the

waya and ask for the roId. paths, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” “I will be inquired of by ■the house, of Israel, to 'do' these.'things for them, snlth the Lord." “And it shall come to pass that. ; . . While they are yet Bpeaking 1 will hear.’’ : -S'

Dear reader, whoever you niay be, le t us give up all criticism; and humble ourselves dally before our God, In earnest, prayer for the outpouring- of. the .Holy Spirit and the general re­vival of His work throughout the whole world. a a-. , aa :a ; / :a

I After all th a t is said of disinfectants in the drug line, tho best is pure air and .in large volume. At least all other disinfectants are very inoilicient, unless plenty of pure air accompanies them.-

All rooms .that are to be disinfected should have plenty of a ir admitted to them as tho first requisite of beginning operations. Often it will be found quite sufficient in Itself to disarm mild contagion, ' ". '. . '•

The m ajority of people are too-sen­sitive on the subject.of letting pure air into sick-rooms, -where an /abundance of it will prove not only of immense benefit to the sick one, but be the safe­guard of., the whole household. Direct drafts of a ir. upon the patient are al­ways-to. bo avoided, unless, perchance, It Ib a case of suffocation, when air In quite vigorous motion about the pa­tient i s . what he most needs. But there are ways to keep the best o t air In a slclt-room w ithout putting the pa­tient in any peril, and ways th a t will prove, th e means of gettihg him out of peril from confined, unaerated con­tagion. Certainly if the rest o f .th e house is filled with- good air, It may enter, from this source and do much to purify and disinfect the Sick-room, a point never, to be neglected.- As for the sick room itself, and. I hope it has more than one window, I would advise th a t a board /the exact length , of the w idth of the window he placed under the lower sash. This board should; be about six or eight inches wide, and be a good fit. After two windowB are raised /upon such boards, you will have .a good supply of a ir com ing'constantly Into the room— a lino interchange—neyer striking the patient direct.

Fires may be run aiid regulated b o th a t the patient undergoes no risk of getting cold, and a room is warmed easier when i t contains a goodly por­tion of oxygen within its limits.—-A. P. Reed, M. D.

ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATIONS. Nevertheless I will read the writing

unto the king,.and make known to him the Interpretation I (v. 17). Thomas Carlyle .says th a t the word, “king” is derived from the.Germ an word which means “can ;’' that,.therefore, the real meaning of. “king" is "he Who can.” Such, king was Daniel,. Confronted

by whatever crisis ho was the m an who could. While, indeed there was as­sisting supernatural element here, yet Daniel was the one who could,,because, sedulously availing himself . of every advantage and opportunity, .lie had fitted himself for being' such. In his whole career, from the time when he first emerges a captive boy; in Babylon, thore is never the least trace of slouch­ing or shrinking in him. He is the model student as well as the model officer. Some, crisis will confront you, some problem to be solved, some hard duty to. be done/ some right path to be pointed out. . You shall ; be king for it, if you can, And you “can”.-will depend on whether; you have been arid done what you ought before the crisis struck. The world’s hungry for; these kings: who, can. You can never in the least be one, in business, or anywhere else, If beforehand you slouch and shirk. .

•And thou his son hast.not, humbled thine heart, tljougli thou knewest all. this (v.22). I have been hearing of young men. in the hospital hard smit­ten with awful, putrescent disease,- be­cause they' had plunged into unbridled viciousriess. ,1 ' am- sure every one of them thought :he could do the sin and somehow miss the -doom, though the experience of" multitudes staid other­wise. Such are modern Belshazzars. The quicker you get out of .the notion that-you can do vilely and escape the penalty, the better for you. Remem­ber, I beseech you, that stern word of the apostle, "For there is rio respect of persons with. God.” ;

And the God in whose . hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou riot glorlfledCv.23.); No man is. a unit isolated in sheer loneliness: Every man. is meshed in innumerable relations. Foremost, among these re­lations are those binding him to God. God stands to a man .in the relation of Creator Sustainer, loving Father, moral iudge. No man can help the binding of these relations. Immediate­ly out of these relations spring duties —of tho creature, of the dependent, of tho son, of obedience to moral law; We glorify God by being true to the duties springing out of the relations binding us to God. -We dishonor and defy God by refusing such duties. As far db we do this wo are like Belshaz­zar.. Then was the part of the hand, sent, from before him, and. his w riting was inscrlbedtv. 24)/ In the inner chamber of our, own hearts, who of us has not seen the mysterious fingers and .the ominous w riting In the reproaches of our conscience?

Thou a r t weighed in the balances, arid a r t . found wantlng(v/ 27). And overy .one of us is. In; such balances. The dally duty is such balances, and the issue tells whether or not we have gladly and fully -done it. Our church membership is such balances, and it Ib disclosing whether or no t we are thoroughly true to the solemn-vows of holy living we liave taken. Our hiis- bandhood, wifehood, parenthood, child­hood, brotherhood, sisterhood, are such balances, and they are steadily declar­ing whether or hot we aro wanting in being,, in these, relations, w hat W6 ought, j Olir relations' with God are such / balances. Dr. Austin Phelps says;/ -. “One young man I once knew, in whose minds these very words rest­ed for ..months, as the suminirig.up ojf, his'own charHgterand destiny, ‘Welgh-

were like n live coal upon Ills eyeballs. Few knew the dull nightm are-of con­scious and despairing guilt in which he lived. Yet rarely.w as lie conscious of 'a n hour when/lie- did not feel It', resting like n pall over the, joys of this world, and foreshadowing iri silent prophecy his doom, -in another.” ; But. whero ! we are weighed 'and. wariting, Christ Is not, ; AVe may be ’'complete In Him.,1’' Oil/ Hasten to accept him !” —Wayland Hoyt, D. Dr, in Sunday School Times. •

A Q blden E a g le .

A .m an who Is now one of the most successful of o u r. younger, clei'gyinen, Was living, when he. was a boy of n ine- teen,, with his widowed, mother, and working as a clerk.in a country .'store. One-day a deacon In the' church pf which lie was a. member called on him and asked him if lie would. liice to give something for a missionary cause. He said he would, and brought out a ten- dollar gold piece arid 'la id It in the deacon’s hand. But the deacon was unwilling to receive it, and said it was too much for lilm to give.

"W hy,'' said he, "very few men in the church give as much a t th a t.”

"But,” said the boy, " tha t gold piece was my father’s. • I t was found on him when he fell dead In battle In tiie Civil W ar.." I have kept it as a precious memorial, but I ought to sem l.it out to do good. I mean-to give a tenth, any­way, bu t I want to give this; too.”, The deacon took; the gift and. went away deeply moved. When lie. came to send olT the money that had; been collected, lie substituted a ten-doliar bill of Ills own, nnd retained the gold piece as a keopsalie.-

He also formed a purpose which lie did not reveal till he had satisfied himself hy careful inquiries that It wits wisely made. Then he .w en t to the boy nnd proposed th a t ho should go to college aiid study for the ministry.., " I 'sh o u ld like to,” was tile reply, "but I have had to give up all thought of college. I cannot afford it.”

"But If you will go,” said tho deocon, “and do what you can' to help 'yourself,I will help you all you need and seo you through your studies." "

The yoiinnf man hesitated because he was able as a cleric to do somothing for ills mother; but ills mother was equal to the occasion, and insisted that he accept the offer. '- “I will manage somehow,” she said/' “to get along without your aid. I want you to fit. for the. m inistry.” '

A year w as spent in special prepara­tion, and by dint of double work a 'year proved sufficient, In addition to work previously done, to enable the young man to enter college. At last the long course of study waa finished. The ’deacon had kept his promise, and had put up a few hundred dollars in tho hank a t the disposition of tiie young man to draw upon as he m ight like, always watching to see that the sum was replenished when it ran low. The education cost $4,000, but the young man had been ambitious to/do all he could for himself, and hls en?rgy, and skill in helping.himself had equal­led his ambitioh. The result was; tliat lie had drawn on his generous •f’t'end to the amourit. only of $1)200,' The rest he had earned himself.

The gift to missions of th a t ten-dol­lar gold piece,-.had proved to „ be the sowing of seed th a t .bore fru it a hun­dred-fold. In place of it 'a n d because of it there had come to the giver an education,. an additional strength oi character, and a life of great useful­ness and honor.—Christian 'Endeavor World. ... .:

It would ho poor; comfort to know that our safety was only as we hr/d on to God, for the lingers so often become be­numbed with-cold, and paralyzed with doubt and fear; but, it is God who does all the holding, upholding, the strengthening nnd the helping; and it Is the hand ot One who Is Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and the Holy One of Israel.—Selected.
