BEST THOUGHTS CULLED
Topics Discussed Yesterday by Some
of the Pastors.
DR. ROBINSON ON EMPTY HEART
Rev. C. Prossor's First Sermon In Prlml
tivo Methodist Church-Iicv. D. M.
Klntcr on Origin of CrocJs-Dlf-fcrcnt
Kinds of Church-Uocrs.
Below are given the best thoughts
from several of ithe leading sermons de
livered In the city yesterday.
Rev. Charles E. Tlublnnon, D. D., In
preaching at ithe Seeoml Presbyterian
church on the "Empty Heart,"
Mu.thew xll, 44, said:
"Reformation Is not salvation, he
cause U leads o no confidence In God
It Is self-rellanco and not Ood-relianee.
In the latter one takes God Into his
soul; In ithe former he utands atom
There was the fatal defeat In this man's
case, he Flood alone, his heart was
'swept and garnished' but 'empty.' A
man who desires to reform trusts him
self, but one who wishes to be saved
truuls in God. One could as easily
sweep back the incoming tides of the
Atlantic with a broom as to withstand
the forces of evil ulonc. It does not
save him to get rid of one devil, to l' t
In ithe evil spirit of pride or self-right
eousness, lie ts no nearer being saved
by casting out the devil and trusting
himself."
Whut the. Christian Church Stands for.
Rev. I. M. Kinter, speaking nt the
Providence Christian church yesterday
on "Origin of Creeds.:' said:
"The first creed of the church was
divine, brief and Rimple and was stinted
In the words that 'Jesus Is the Christ
the Son of the Living God.' The church
had no other for three ceivturles. Tho
iirft nuthorltlve human creed was
made by the Council of Nice, A. D. 32;
and is called ithe Nlceiie creed. It is
the basis of all orthodox creeds.
"The first Protestant creed Is the
Augsburg confession and originated
with Luther and his coadjutors In the
Sixteenth century. It was followed by
the Heldleburg confession (German Re
form); Westminster (Presbyterian);
Thlrty-nlno articles (Church of Eng
land): Methodist discipline (Method
ist Episcopal church); Philadelphia,
confession (Haptlst), and others.
The Christian church (Disciples)
plead for a return ito the original creed,
and a totial abandonment of all human
creeds, names and denomlnationalism,
Their motto Is: "Where the Bible
speaks we speak, and where the Bible
Is silent we are silent on all masters
pertaining to faith and duty."
Spectators versus Doers.
Ucv. C. Prosser, in preaching his first
sermon, at the Grven Ridse Primitive
".lethoiMst churcn, yesterday, dwelt en
"The Pre-eminent Feature of the Apos
tollc Writers," and said:
"It is very Instructive to note the
pre-eminent features of each apostolic
writer. Paul freely discusses faith
Peter's favorite topic seems to be hope;
James sifts works, and John's epistles
are well freighted with love. He states
the mutability of the lust of the flesh
lust of 'the eyes, and pride of life, and
the permanency of him tru.t doeth not
his own will, but the will of God. Let
us notice three Inferences from the
text. There are varied ideas In the
world as 'to what Is God's will con
cerning each of us. Soma try to Instil
into our minds the theory that God's
will Is our ruin, our external destruc
tlon, but science and the Holy Writ
comes ito our rescue ait .this very point.
Science teaches us that there are evi
dences Ire the different organs of the
human system that God's will is our
happiness. Holy Writ emphatically
and perspicuously Informs us that
God's will Is our salvaitlon. our purity
and our usefulness. So while we dread
the wish of some people, we need not
dread the Divine wish concerning us.
'The important duty and how can
we best perform It is another question
By reading it, by ruminating it. Doing
it immediately, regularly and with pure
Intentons.
"The unspeakable recompense abld-
eth forever.' Not only like a. rock, sur
mounted by a glassy sea, but like a
cedar notwithstanding the storms. The
reward is not 'to him tha.t readeth the
will merely, or memorize the will from
Genesis tot Revelation, but to him that
doeth Ithe word of God."
Why Some Pcoplo Attend Church.
Rev. M. II. Mill, preaching at St.
David's church yesterday morning, on
True Worship,"' saidc "There are, no
doubt, many different kinds of hearers
in every congregation. One class, which
Is usually quite largely represented, are
the vacant hearers. If you try to find
out why they come to church at all, you
will only be mystified the more, since
they, themselves, could not give you
a reason, because they have Tione. They
simply come, and that Is all. They
leave everything but their bodies at
home, and they are as harmless as they
are charmless. The curious hearer
comes with the spirit to dissect, to criti
cise, and find Imperfections In what he
hears. The teaching Is either too ma
terial or too spiritual for him, too prac
tical or theoretical, and he goes away
dissatisfied. The captious hearer comes
and Is very attentive, pimply to find op
portunities for materials to be used as
weapons against religion. He, himself.
does not believe In religion, and Is try
ing hard to prejudice every one else
against It.
'Then there Is a fashionable hearer.
PAINT cracks It
often costs more to prepare a
house for repainting that has been
painted in the first place with cheap
ready-mixed paints, than it would
to have painted it twice with strict
ly pure white lead, ground in pure
linseed oil.
Strictly Pure
White Lead
forms a permanent base for repaint
ing and never has to be burned or
scraped off on account of scaling
or cracking. It is always smooth
and clean. To be sure of getting
strictly pure white lead, purchase
any of the following brands: l
"Atlantic," . "Bsymer-Bauman,"
"Jewett," 4 "DavU-Chamoors."
"Faonestock," "Arartronf McKolvy."
For Colors. National Lead Co.'a Pure
White Lead Tinting Colors, onopound can
to 13-pnund keg of Lead and mix your own
I'.iinta. Saves time and annoyance In matching
shades, and insures the beat paint that it la pos
sible to put on wood.
Send us postal card and get our hook on
paints und color-card, free; it will probably aav
you a good many dollars.
NATIONAL LEAD CO., New York.
He always welcomes Sunday since It
affords him a very excellent opportun
ity to display his special attractions.
The speculative hearer comes because
he Is lu business, because he courtB the
society of respectable people, because It
Is fashionable In our day that respect
able people should go to church. In a
word, he comes because he has an ax
to grind, to make gain of Godliness. The
self-forgetful hearer comes to find out
all his neighbor's defects and short
comings, All these are profitless hear
ers. Are there any such present this
morning? If so. In the name of Christ,
I wurn you to mend your ways, and,
at least, become prolltable hearers."

ized a Sunday school many decades ago
across the river in Taylor. He spoke
of the relation of the church and the
societies that are organized for evan
gelization. He believes that the church
Is of primary Importance at all times,
because mankind needs to hear the

Mooslc Presbyterian congregation, and
the services will be conducted each

tor of the Mooslc church.
SERMON BY FATHER FEELEY.
Forty Hours Devotion Opened at Holy
Kosary Church.
Rev. J. J. U. Feeley, of the cathedral,
preached the opening sermon last night
of the Forty Hours devotion at Holy
Rosary church, Providence. The theme
was on the necessity of the children of
the Catholic church to show a good ex
ample. The reverend speaker said the church
does not fear persecution; she glories In
It, but dreads with horror the bad ex
ample of her children. Yet, It is not
logical to reason that the church In
Itself Is bad because some or even many
of her children are wicked. Christ said
there would be scandal, hut he said
"Woe to him by whom the scandal
Cometh." The Savior compared his
church to a field, where the good ser
vants sowed wheat, but while they
slept the devil came and sowed cockle.
Both grew up together, hut In harvest
time the wheat was gathered Into the
granaries and the cockle was bound in
bundles and burned In the fire.
The hearers were exhorted to give
good example, and, as St. Peter says,
"By doing good, you will put to shame
the Ignorance of foolish men." The
speaker admonished them that every
one Is responsible before flod for the
sins that others commit by the force of
his example.

pushed her head into this narrow
opelilnf and, It Is supposed, upon at
tempting to draw It out again, squivzed
her neck between the boards and the
