WASHINGTON'S LIFE
AND CHARACTER
r
Lnstin Power and Influence Wrought
by a Qodly Life.
CONSIDERED IN MR. GIFT'S SERMON
Ho l'rcaclictl Last droning Upon "A
Divine Convolution," Bnd in Ills
DUcourao Hold Up llio Noblo Kx
timplu oflho l'utlior ol the Nntlon.
The Kill Aro Punished, but tlio

Tlioir Codly Lives.
Special reference wns made to Wash
ington and ills noble character and life
In a sermon lost night by Rev. Foster
U. aift in Qruce Kngllsh Lutheran
church.
Mr. Gift's topic- was "The Undying
Power and Influence of u (loudly Life,
or, a Dlvlno Consolation." Ills re
maiks were from Hebrews, xl:4, "By
faith Abel offered unto Clod a more ex
cellent sacrifice than Cain.
and through It ho being dead et speak
eth." Mr. Gift said:
Tho sacrifices offered to God by tho
two brothers, Cain and Abel, Is one of tho
most fnr-reachlng narratives In Holy
Scripture. 'Jho reason for ihn retort inn
of Cain and his ortcilng, thu ticceptanco
of Abel and his off 01 Ing, does not appear
on the surfuce. Why tho fruit of tho
Held which the one brother brought was
not acceptable to God, and tho firstling
of tho flock of the other should be pleas
ing to Him, when both nro Scriptural ot
f lings, is mysterious to the cm. Tlio
ujvtui for the acceptance ot tho one and
the rejection ot tho other appears only
when Cain laid his hand upon Abel and
shed tho first human blood milieu ever
shed. This dustuidly net laid hire with
clearness Cnlu's heart, thu superficial
character of his icligloti, its formality,
the Inpocilsy of his w 01 ship, for bis
woishlp was only skin deep. It showed
clearly that ho wns icllglons only fiom
habit or for uppearanco sake, for woridy
piollt, and that ho wns devoid of imth
The superior element In Abel s sacrifice.
which must uo tno superloi element of nil
truo offering, as is heio cleally bet foith
w.is anu is anil mint he faith
AVhllo Cain's name Is a lepioach nmous
men Abel's name is glorilled and headi
the list of hetoos of faith. Uy It, though
dead ho still speaks. Men speak welt of
him to this ery day. Though he was
faith's first martyr his sevvnrd was tho
crown of righteousness, (te lives in tho
heaits of men. honored nnd exnlted for
wnen he worshipped God, sacrificing to
111m, ho brought also his heart. Ho was
sincere, ttuo and deout. Commentators
differ whether tho word "still" Is tem
poral or logical, but for our purpose it is
Immaterial for whichever view we take
of it. It la yet n consolation to the be
liever, teaching the Influence of a goxl,
tiuo life. Let tho muse sing then this
dlvltio consolation to the discouraged
and broken hearted tho weary and heavy
laden, tho sand and oppressed. riven In
Abel's death is consolation and cheer,
comfort and encouiagement.
abbl lives though dead.
Abel lives though lie Is dend, that to
this day tho world speaks highly of him
Is in itself a testimony ot tho pie-em-Incnco
of the life ho lived and certainly
it was a Godly life for it was thu llfo of
faith.
Be not decived. This cold, unbelieving
wot Id, though It will not accept n Godly
life tt acknowledges Its supcrloritj for
whue h.ivo ou found a man who praises
Cain or defends his conduct? Wheio is
tin man who does not now pralso Abel?
Win- should nngocil.v parents wish to
have Godly children.' They do! There
Is this one maiked 1 onsldeintlon that
me woiiii win not so ficelv praise, a
Gorily man until after his death, lioiv
death elocs silence the tongue of mallco!
How death transitu ms the voice ot con
suie ii.to the voice of eulogy! How It
trnnstnims enemies Into friends! Hon
ones' good qualities are then enumerated
with seated a mention of our taults anj
Imperteellf n Behold tile- vvoild hasten
ing to place, a f 1 w ilnwcis upon tho Imr
01 inc uouiv eliad whom during life it
ptisccuted and hated.
This is mnikeri In the lllo of him whose
birth wo commemorate this week ho who
guided the ship of state thiough time tar
more peilicus than the dangers which
now threaten our pence and tiuneiulllty
ho whose public career was pi nvldcnti.il
it any caieer was ever providential, ho
who was, I do believe, a nnn raised up
ot God lor thu gieat work he performed.
That ho lived a Uocllv life, that he trusted
in Gud, few will deiij. A Godless man
would baldly pray with tear-stained cje.
In secret. Tho hjpociit never pias in
secret. A Godless man cannot speak
those deep lellglous sentiments George
Washington spoke.
Bishop Meade Is quoted ns saying: "I
never know so constant an attendant in
church ns Washington and his behavior
In the house of God wus ever so deeply
reverential that it produced the happiest
effect on my congregation." A Godless
death bed would not witness such wot els
ns these: "I am not afraid to go; 'tis
well." And vet dining his llfo tho vilest
persecution ho was called upon to en
dure. Those who nt his death acknowl
edge tho pre-emlnenco of his llfo and his
unselfish, ilghtcous career, dropping tears
of sorrow, helped to make his life wretch
ed Today the wot Id neknow ledges tho
beauty, the superiotlty nnd grandeur of a
Godly life like that of Geoigo Washing
ton. It maj bo said of him as It Is said
of Abel he et lives in tho heaits of men.
PRE-EMINENCE ALLIED TO GOD.
So let tho wear, the disheartened, the
sinful, those troubled l doubts, learn
that the poor and mlseiablo and perse
cuted of this world will bo rich and happy
ones up jondet that only that life which
trusts in God s Is pre-eminent,"
Theso woids uie a divine consolation
because they teach thu real and tho
undying Influence of a Godly Hie. A
Godly llfo lives forever! By tho veiy
deed with which Cain hoped to perpotunto
his own name and consign to oblivion tho
namo of his hi other he placed his own
In tho catalogue of tho dlsst.iced and as
sisted in peipetuating tho noblo llfo ha
hated The tiiMiherous hand of blood ho
lifted hoping to make his own work per
manent and 1 ml nnc.ther s wotk, ended
his and mudo the other's pcnnitiunt and
abiding The llfo fullest of piomlso went
nut in daikness, whilo tho lllo with least
promlso of permanency pioved to bo of
undying povvei tho exiimplur of tilum
phant faith speaking forever. Tho lite
which wus shut test on earth lives jot In
tho heaits of men and in luuvcn. Tho
llfo which w.is longest on earth now lives
only us a warning to tho ungodlj.
Was it not so In tho llfo of tho Master
nimse.lt? Tlio kiss of betrayal with
which Judas hoped to end tho lite nnd In
ilueiice of the Master, making his own
moro resplendent icsulti'd In consigning
his own namo into that oblivion into
which oven his companions deign to Ionic,
making his nun . a synonym tor all that
is baso and covvuidly while It vvtoto thu
name of Christ high upon Calvin y as tho
world's redetmii', so that Ho lives for
cv er as tho blnuer's friend and Saviour.
WASHINGTON AND ARNOLD.
Tho rnme and woik of George Wash
ington nro becoming blighter and 11101 u
marked us ycurs puss on, vvhllo thu name
of Arnold, tho traitor, Is despised evon in
England, to which nation ho ottered to
betray his native Innd. Long ngo the In
fluence of those who conspired against
him whom wo lovo to call tho "Father
of Ills Country," whllo ho was praylns
for tho fiiceess of the cause of Independ
ence at Vulley Forgo, while ho was sac
rificing tho comforts of a Mount Vernon
mansion for the hardships ot war, is
dead, lie lives unci will live forever In the
heurts of ull who lovo Integrity and true
woith. IHh work will nevor die us will
thu work of every Godly life enduro and J.
bo perpetuated , though during one's lllo
tlmo one la scarcely recognized. Tlio
Paul whom men onco Fcorncd lives yet.
Tho martyrs of ono genoraUon become tho
saints of tho rtxt. Thoo whom ono nge
pcrsocuto another canonizes. Thu lives
of Godliness urc lives that live, nnd h.ivo

Llka tho pebble cast Into tlio water
starting vvnves that enlatgo until they
riiich tho shore so a Godly llfo will start
waves of usefulness till they re tell the
shores of ctetnlty. Tho Influence for
good of a Washington will bo fot ever.
Such a keen, conservative, discerning
innu ns Hov. R. S. Stors says of him In
a prayer: "Him, who Thou who In Thy
Providence didst set forth to bo tho lcr 1
er of our lenders, In council and in nrms,
and tho exnmplo for nil to follow In his
high office. For his patience and courage
which never fulled for tho steadfastness
of spirit, sustnlneri upon Thee which
sank beneath no weight of burden, for
his mujestlo fidelity his leverent faith
In Thy word and In Thee, Mnko us
worthy partakers of the fruit of his la-'
bors, mngnlflcent In blessing, whose fame
Is henceforth hi all tho earth."
IMPROVEMENT THROUGH EXPERI
ENCE. As tho diamond becomes brighter
through polishing, as tho Uolin nccomeii
sweeter bj uo and age, us tho physician
becomes better through experience, ns
tho painting becomes more priceless when
colored by nge, so tho Christian llfo bo
comes blighter nnd moro loved ns years
roll on. Learn them for our consola
tion when wo nro weary nnd heart
broken that If wo live tho tiuo life our
power nnd Influence will last fot ever.
God will not suffer tho Injuries elnno to
His pcoplo to go unpunished nor will Ho
nllow tho sufferings of His people to go
lint awarded. Cain wns punished Abel
still speaks to us by his noble life
But forget not that the leasoti that
Abel yet speaketh tho reason tho Father
of Our Country ct speakcth. Is becauso
of unfailing faith In God. Have fnith In
God. Only by believing In the atonement
will our bins be forgiven.

Great musicians use Klmballs. The
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape tho
charge of not knowing what they aro
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says.
"Tho more I use my Kimball piano tho
better I like it." Jean De Reszke saysi
"Wo have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa Claims: "Tho Kimball
piano Is first-class In every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases In
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have somo fine largo pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
tenns, and a term of lessons ftee.
