E. J, Goodwin holds It. She mado It
In 1.07 lint In Saturday's races, pulling
It down from 1.07M. The former record
was hold by Cedclla, sho having made
It a week previous,
Nero, n, bit; tttnlllon owned by Am

seconds from records nnd nearly equals
Crdolla's pace. Ho Is Improving and .
gives fair promlso of going side by sldo
or ahead yot.
Tho work was done In a heat run by
tho two horses nnd a bare difference
existed between them when they pass
ed beneath tho wire, Mr. Goodwin
drove his horse nnd Jim Justin drovo
Nero, Several flash starts were made,
Cednlla moving nway too quickly for
Nero. When they did get nway she led
him two lengths. The mare's forte Is
turning the corners but tho big horse
is acquiring that knnck in easy style.
The croud was small nnd but for tho

ENLY SUCCOR-ULTIMATE OF RE
DEMPTION TO REDEEMED IS IM
PLANTING OF OEItM OF LOVE FOR
COD WITHIN THE SOUL.
P.ov. S. F. Matthews, of the Seranton
Street llaptlst church, preached nn
eloquent sermon ut yesterday morn
ing's service. The speaker drew his
thoughts fiom that passage ot scrip
ture found recorded by Paul, the npos
tie. In his llrst letter to tho Corln
thlanq, 11:9, "Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard; neither hath entered Into
the heart of tnnn the things which God
hath prepared for them thnt love Him."
The congregation wns large. Tho choir
rendered several fine nntheins. The
sermon, In p.irt, Is ns follows:
The words of tho text nre very remar
kable as wo quoto them directly from
the thought of Paul, as he seeks to open
up to tho spiritual vision of the believer
tho delightful future that awaits tho soul
upon tho higher plunes of a redeemed
celestial existence.
What grand themes Paul presents In
these simple letters to the churches.
Themes that fven now 1111 tho soul with
great deep, thrllllngs of Joy nnd hope;
and that lift the Imagination up nnd on
wings of insplratlonnl thought that cm
brace time and eternity alike.
The language of our text Is nbsolutely
exhaustive In Its suggestlveness nf whnt
Is to como In the divine unfoldment of
nil things to tho soul: It Is corroborattvo
of the fact that more Is hid In the ultl
mates of salvation than the mere saving
from a hell; It Is the suggestive reason
ing on the apostles part of tho great
Idea that tho love of God holds In reser
vation great surprises of Ineffable Joy
nnd perfection as tho result of redemp
tion not to bo experienced here.
CURIOSITY OF SOUL.
The mind sometimes delights to dwell
on the thought of whnt Is coming to us
In the full fruition ot our future In
heaven, and It Is a natural curiosity of
tho soul.
What dreams wo nil havo Indulged In,
In regard to all that Is Implied In that
word Heaven but here stands a Scrip
ture that tells us "It has not entered
Into our thought to conceive of wha
God holds In reservation as a gift to
those who love him," and It Is a curious
statement a strange statement, indeed
nnd yet what an overwhelming one of
God's power to bless, enrich and cxnlt
his redeemed children In the lifo which
Is to come.
It Is only by the power of comparison
as Intelligent beings that we can under
stand what Paul meant by this text, ami
that comparison must bo within the cir
cle of what wo know and can sense
here, as human beings, for we cumin
Imagine, that. In any possible future
state, man shall be moro or less than
man, or that his surroundings In Heaven
shall he more nor less than what shall
bo natural to the soul.
The Uibln gives us no clue that even
the future "Glory," whatever that means,
shall rob us of our distinctive traits that
adhere to eneh Individual soul and with
which we have begun the lotind of con
scious life. Therefore, the thoughts, that
whatever Is of the best here, shall bo
brlter hereafter the perfection itself
ii." the full revelation of humanity in Its
surroundings divinely placed.
tty and through the earthly senses then,
havo wo a clue to tho greater glory
that remains to be developed hereafter
Whatever the eye sees now that Is per
fect relatively, shall be the more per
feet In thu hereafter. As we take the
physical of man, for Instance, while In
the mass our physical forms are,
through the Influences of sin, marred nnd
broken, yet occasionally we see rare md
perfect loveliness of form nnd featuro
In both man nnd woman, nnd yet In Its
highest earthly type. It Is and will be In
ferior to tho shapely beauty and grace
with which all of God's children shall
ba moulded when death has destroyed
the outer sln-brulsed shell, and the spirit
shall appear In Heaven for God to look
upon and delight In.
MENTAL STRUCTURE OF MAN.
So In regard to the mentnl structure of
man as we see him. In the mass men
are mentally about the same, and .vn
make ol that sameness a standard, but
heio and there, uplifted from the mass,
arc u few of rnro and wonderful gcnluspi,
men In art like Raphael and Angelo; mm
ir i h'lesophy lllte Hacon and Newton;
ficu in statesmanship like Pitt and Web
ster, orators and thinkers llko Chalmers
rod Rcceher; the men nnd women who
shine nnd glow In the power and excel
lence of their mental gifts. The living
eIdencc of higher possible standards of
human endowment on higher plane")
cf life such as the redeemed shall enjoy
ns under the smile of God In a con
genial home all souls shall reveal tholr
best.
So In regard to the disposition or Inward
nature of the soul In Its relation morally
to others, while tho mass may bo upon
a plane of selfishness, there are excep
tional cases of rare natural sweetness and
self-denial, that Intimate tho possibility
ot what n soul can be when It shall un
fold beneath the eye and touch of God,
So In regard to that beautiful expres
sion of the soul wo call philanthropy or
love of humankind. The mass may bo lost
In one thought of self gain, self uplift,
but, oh, what noble examples wo havo
of a higher character poislblc In man
when we think of Paul; of a John How
ard; of an Elizabeth Fry; of a Florence
Nightengale; of n Peabody. and then
think of tho divine and holy philanthropy
of Heaven, Its beautiful charity of love,
when man shall rise above tho earthly
serf -and bo the lover of his kind In
Heaven, through developement.
As we see mnn now. we see him sin
scarred, battle-broken, wrecked nnd
ruined, not as the glorious soldier when
he entered tho Held of llfo In Eden's
glories, And yet throughout the fall,
there remains the power and possibility
of attaining perfection hi tho restoration
yet to he.
This text has Its endorsement In nature
herself. Ily care nnd culture what glor
ies aro being revealed by the touch of
love. As the florist tolls to unfold tho
hidden possibilities within tho humble
Mower, of advanced nnd still more per
fect bloom, so thero Is to ho by dlvlno
law under Heavenly conditions nn un
foldment of mnn on a higher piano that
shall astonish even man himself,
THE GRAND CONCLUSION.
Well does Paul exclaim, "It doth not
yet appear what we shall be." Rut there
comes the grand conclusion that wo shall
bo like Christ, like Him us Ho appeared
In His humanity to man, like Him ns
Ho appeared In His divinity to tho en
raptured John at Pntmos, and If Ho were
but the "llrst fruits of them thut slept."
What shall he tho nwakenlng Into llfo
eternal from tho sleep of death, of those
who shall awake in Ills liveliness and
His character, ono with God?
This great prophetic text gives us then
an Intimation nf what wo shall bo when
the curse shall be lifted from us and the
God within us shall bo revealed. Thero
Is nn explanation given In the verse that
folows as n context. "Clod hath revealed
them unto us by His spirit." This Is
true! Thero conies unto ussplrltunllydeep
Insights of Just such a place as tho rev
elation unfolded to John und thero Is In
every soul, new-born to God, Just such
yearnings to be lltted for such a perfect
heaven as God alono ran give,
Tho unfoldlngs of ths religion of Jesus
Christ leads to the preparation of what
this text reveals. As nature unfolds by
Judicious management, by culture, by
tho uso ot appointed means to higher
forms ot beauty nnd loveliness, so does
tho nature ot man unfold upward, under
tho Inlluenco of tho spiritual indwelling
of Christ within the soul.
Whnt u magnificent ince tho Christ In
fluence, the Christ teachings and tho
Christ redemption are bringing to tho
front. Seo tho men nnd women thnt aro
making tho world better by their own
living. Seo the churches, nsylums, hos
pitals, tho homes of help nnd Heavenly
succor, springing up nil over tho world.
In themselves tho beautiful results of
beautiful souls, the presenco of tho spirit
of Christ in redeemed men and Women,
nnd what shall bo the place, tho home,
the glorious sent where nil these shall
bo ns one; where nil their nsplrntlons
and thoughts shall ho glorified and snnc
titled? Shnll It not he God's own abiding
place? Where Ho shall bo the king and
ruler and where, bathed In tho glory of
his presence, they shall "grow In grnce
nm: tno knowlcdgo of tlielr Lord" for
ever nnd ever An unfolding nstnnlsh
ti'tnt to themselves of tho power and lovo
of God!
THE SUPREMF WORD.
Murk the supremo word that closes this
text, ponder over It, It Is profoundly slg
nlllcant. "Thnt lovo Him". All of this
future In lis glorious verity to tho.e that
lovo Him! Not to those that God loves.
but that love hint. It Is tho answer of
God tn affection, the answer of God to
self-denial, feacrlflco and work for him.
This supernal home, this glorious state,
this wondrous unfolding nnd dlvlno de
velopment, will not bo vouchsafed sim
ply from mercy dlvlno to man; not even
out of divine love to man, but by natural
and divine law to thoso who aro fitted
for It by loving God.
What, then, Is the ultimate of redemp
tion to us redeemed, but tho Implant
ing of the gorm of "Love for God" within
the soul. It Is the vltnl talent that God
will ask for at last. Let lovo then bear
Interest, let lovo Increase, let tho soul
bear Its natural growth ot lovo to God.
For at Inst this text In all of Its fulness
will apply to you, for to your lovo wilt
como tho place, tho condition, stato that
"Eyo hnth not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered Into the heart of
man, tho things which God hath pre
pared for them that love him"
Oh, supreme, vital question! Do You
Lovo God?
ADDRESS OF REV. MR. IIUQIIES.
Dollvcrod nl the Afternoon .Mooting
ol thu It. It. V. .11. C. A.
Rev. Jnmes Hughes, Into of South
Af'-lna. addressed a largely attended
meeting nt tho Railroad Young Men's
Christian association yesterday after
noon. He spoke, In part, as follows:
Gentlemen I am pleased to meet you
this afternoon and I hope wo shall havo
a pleasant and profitable service. I shall
not take a text, neither shall I deliver a
long address. I shall try to give you a
short, straight talk; short, because 1 de
sire you to take part In tho service, und
becauso I wish to avoid giving you Indi
gestion by n too lavish use of my nos
trums; straight, becauso hard-headed,
working men, endowed with sixteen
ounces to tho pound of good common
sense, hate circumlocution, red tape, or
firing Into tho ulr instead of aiming at
the bull's eye.
Urother men, we are here to worship
God and to assist each other to live a
good Christian life. If this be so. I havo
before mo men who aro animated by tho
loftiest nnd noblest purpose. Such men
havo a back bono In their lives. This Is
a very gratifying fact. There are so many
who have not only no back bone purposo
In life, but they havo no bone nt nil. They
belong to the moluscus species who aro
boneless, nnd will therefore go with uny
current. Or they uru like that class of
men once described by John Ilrlght in
tho British Parliament, who compared
them to a Scotch teirler dog whose head
was not distinguishable from his tail.
A GRATIFYING FACT.
It Is gratifying to find n man who do"s
not tequlrci to bo labeled like a ilru
store bottle In order for you to know
what ho Is. Spurgeon said when ho com
menced dabbling in the fine aits he some
times drew tho picture of a house and
then a horse, but they wos so much
alike thnt he found It necessary to write
the word house under the one nnd the
word horso under tho other, or people
would bo liable to take the house for
tho horso nnd the horse for the houe.
Let us so live that It shall not be neces
sary to label us that others may know
what we are.
Tho next thing I want to say Is this,
ns you havo such n noble purposo In life
stick to It. Re constant In tho pursuit
of It. Hend all your energies to attain
this great goal of your sacred purpose
Don't allow your ardor to fluctuate and
change with that mercurial esthetic llfo
of Inflated pride so very common In this
world. Hut let thero he a constant "peg
ging at It" as the great nnd good Abra
ham Lincoln used to say. Fitful men
never uttafii much. They nre always be
rlnnlng. They climb a certain distance
nnd then slide back. Then they start
ngaln nnd thus they aro nlways beginning
but they never advance. Like the sys
tematic who'd they nro ever In motion,
but ulwnys In the same place.
Then again If tho desire to" worship
God nnd to do good to others exist within
us we shall manifest this by putlng forth
efforts for tho benefit of others und by
endeavoring to adore the Great Creator.
PLENTY OF ROOM.
Such exertions will not only please the
Lord nnd benefit man, but it will tend
to increaso our usefulness and strengthen
our piety. Thero is ample room for this
kind of work. Thero aio thousands In
this town who never nttend a place of
worship. They seem to llvo outside tho
direct Influences of tho Gospel of Christ.
If they do not como to the chinch, then
tho church must go to them.
It would be well for us tn consider the
best way to approach such people. Tho
man who goes fishing pays considerable
attention to the bait. Ho duly consldo-s
what Is likely to provo successful. Wo
should set before such people a little
practical kindness. A empty handed
charity Is a very cold and ineffective
thing, tho cup without tho cold wntor Is
a cheap, empty sham. There Is a lot of
religion In n pound of meat and a loaf of
bread when accompanied with a kind
look and a kind word.
LEADERSHIP PF THE SON.
Socond Sermon ol Ilia Series De
Hrored br l!'v. F. W. liippeu.
In the second of a erlcs of sermons
by Rev. F. W. Whlppen, of All Souls'
church, on tho five points of universal
Ism tho topio yesterday was 'Tho
Spiritual Authority and Leadership of
tho Son, Jesus Christ. Tho preacher
took for his text. I John, lv:0, "in this
wns manifested the lovo of God to
ward us, because that God sent His
only begotten Son Into the world that
we might live through Him." The sub
stance of the sermon was ns follows;
Tho center of vision for us today Is
Jesus Christ as ho Is portrayed In the
New Testament. His followers often
called him tho Son of God nnd we join
with them, llo Is tho Son of God as Is
no other. There Is only ono "Son of
God." Thero Is only one "Son of Man."
Thcso phrases distinguish Him from tho
world of humanity and put Him Into a
class of hi own. One element of Ills
peculiar sonshlp Is His perfect character.
Another Is his pre-exlstenee. Another
still Is suggested by the fnct that He
wus sent. No mnn ever came with work
to do that In quality or quantity Is to
bo compared with his.
WHY WE ACCEPT HIM.
If wo cannot tell Just how It is, tho
Now Testumcnt makes it plain that Jesus
Christ In some vital particulars Is to ho
looked ut apart from men. And wo ac
cept Him as ono having authority. Ho
Is God's agent, God's messenger tho
Father acts through Him. Ho bus con
fided to Him all things. Wo accept Him
ns ono who knows when He tells us His
great truth that God loves us, Ho tells
us n fact nnd not a. longing or a dream.
Ho knows fellowship with God. Ho Is In
tho society of God always. Ho knows
righteousness. He never confuses values.
And wo accept Him as our lender. Wo
see his rivals. Selfish desire Is one. Tho
urgency of friends Is another. Even an
appreciation of conscience may bo an
other. Wo believe In tho leadership ot
Jesus Christ. He Is n perfect teacher, by
precept and by example. No moro per
tinent question can be raised tn tho fneo
of temptations nnd tho perplexing cir
cumstances of our dnys than the ques
tionWhat would Jesus Christ do In my
enso? "In Ills Steps" Is a most timely
book. Whnt did Ho do7
Ho kept tho commandments. He went
about doing good, He asserted himself
for humanity, Ho devoted himself to Ills
saving work. He was absolute, master
of Himself, Ilecause of nil this. His obe
dience, Ills love, His self-renunciation,
we accept Him as our leader.
WHY HE OHEYS.
Rut this is not all. Think how It Is In
battle. Tho sotdlcr does not obey his
chief simply because his chief has fought
valiantly, Tho personal element enters
In. Tho soldier Is nttraeted to his chief.
Tho really Rront lender of armies leads
by tho power of nersonnl magnetism. In
ono wuy or another ho makes his sol
diers feel not abstract duly, but him:
nnd he lends them whither soever he will
"Into the Jaws of death; Into the mouth
of hell; hecnuso they nre hound to him.
It Is like this with the leadership of
Jesus Christ. Ho has power because ot
touch with Him. More than of precepts,
more than of example, Ills leadership ot
a Godlike soul. Each soul must sooner
or later enlist under His banner nnd look
to His face for hope and light nnd march
to victory Inspired by Ills voice. Wo havo
the assurance that "every knee shall
bow and every tonguo confess that Jesus
Christ Is Lord, to the glory of God tho
Father."
