STRIKING SERMON ON COVETOUSNESS AT THE HOOT OP ALMOST EVERY OTIIEIt SIN. That Was One of the Biond State ments Made by Rev. W. J.

"For this ye know of u suto ty that no fornicator nor unclean pur- son nor ro clous man, which Ih an Idolater liuth any lnherittincc In thu kingdom or ChrlHt und of cSml." Paul, In tho Mret erhi of this chupltr, has hoeit Blxltiff a list ot ("InnerH who by lommon consult have no ilalm to re ductibility. Jt Is hoiticthh't of a Mir pilco to us to 11ml that ho places tho tosotmts man In thli" list. He cvin Koes luithct and lUclates that this man Is an Idolater and us micli has no pait In tho kingdom of (.'hrlsil and of Clod, 1 nuked when my attmtlon wuh tllricted to this crbc, Ifii t there home mistake here? llnvo tho tinrslators when us thu cur led rendering of that which Paul wroto?" Hut 1 found heir tho word that tho lexi cons tell us meant) "One nicer to hao more ipi'clall ot that wnlch IioIoiiks to others ' Thero was no mistake, Paul had Mild it lint 1 asked can It be true" Jmi'I u covetous man a Christian"' Has he no part In the kliiRdom of Christ and of Hod? Hasn't Paul, Impelled by the Intcns it of hlb emotions, allowed a Mtiitetnint to slip Into this iMKMigi. that Is not en ilorsed 1 other Scripture? Hut I found that In Coloislans III, 6-H, and 1 Corinth ians l, -10, as elewhere, he places tho covetous man In the same evil company classing him with those whom wo rignnt as lit only for state's prison in this Ufa and torment In tho next. Peter, Jamjs and John rank this tin with sins of lm puilty nnd pronounco the same woes upon thoso who arc Kullty of It. Christ himself said (Mnrk vll. l!l-22): "For from within out of the henrt of men proceed cll thoughts; adulteries, fornlcntlons, murders, thefts, covetousness, wicked ness, deceit, lasjclveousness, an evil eyo blasphemy, pride, foolishness." This thn Is tho nuthotlty of the Htior.a stitttmeiua of his disciples. Hut ko liaik to tho I'sjilms nnd here cn itousness Is spoken of as "tho sin that God abhors. ' Go still tuither back nnd hen mnld the thund ers oi SInal "Thou s-halt not covet." Alii: ALli RATIONALISTS. We nro all rationalists In our treat ment of tho commands of tho decalogue. Wo placo our own estimate of aluo upon them and distinguish bUween their rela tive Importance. Si me of them wo feel lannot be violated without Incurring tho fceverest penalty, whllo others may now bo iolatcd with lmpur.lty. James tells ua that any one of thft-o may bervo as u test of out obedienct, tuid perslbttnt vio lation of ono point of the law is BUf llclcnt to bring upon us Gou's dUplcasurp. Wo have no right to reg.nd tho command against covetousness as one of tho least ot the commandments. Covetousness Is a bin that Is pectillaily displeasing to God. Once Ho showed His hall til of murder by putting the bi.ind of Cain upon tho muidcttr's brow. Onco Ho directed that tho full penalty should bo Inflicted upon those who blasphemed His name. Outc It Is tccordtd that thoso who violated the tanctlty of the Sabbath wtte put to death, nut lu almost cvciy book ot tho wlulo Elble theie aio denun ciations of tho bin of covetousness and ttirlblo exumples of punishment for tho ci lino. This may not bo because. God looks with greater favor upon theso other sins, but becauso Ho icalUcs that this Is a sin into which mm arc especially liable to fall. Palatini, tho prcphet of Jehovah, covet ed thu it wards of King Kalak. He ac ceptid tho call to a larger held "but was slain among tho Idolaters at Uaal peor. Aehan coveted tho spoils at Jei leho, hut his sin brought defeat to tho armies of Israel and destitution to his own household. Saul's coxetousness cost hltn his tlirono. Qehazl'c brought upon him the leprosy of Niuinian. Judas want ed moie money than his position as tte.n urcr of tho Apostolic band gave ltlm opportunity to steal. He bold his Master, but hf forfeited his position ot honor, nnd lost his soul. Ananias and Snpphltu tould not hear tho thought of giving mi much money to tho rhuieli rl hey coveted both tho proceeds of tho salo of thflr pioperty nnd the reputation for generos. Il and coiis(n?rutlon, thty kept back part of tln pilce while i lalmlng to give all, but It co-a tin in tl.ilr lives. HOOT OF MANY SINS, ('ovoteousuess may be at the loot ot almost overy othir -In It drives mi u to murder, theft, intiilt r. lying, Sao Inth breaking and ldolntr. Hut CluNt had none of these sins In inlml when ho said to his illsclpli s 'Take heid and be waio of coetousms ' He was think ing of n cettaln wealthy land owner, who saw on his fields all unusil.Uly lame hat est and began to consider how to dlsposi. ot It. It never tuteied his head that theio was anything that ho ought to do with his surplus or could do with It, but keep It fi.r his own enjoyment, fo ho deti-i mined to pull down his banis and build greater. And then with the piospitt of future enjoyment In his mind he Kild. "I will say to my soul, soul, thou hast much goods laid up nn man) years; tako thltto ease, eat, dilnk and be meiry." Th it was Christ's toiiciptlon ot a covetous, man, though we would never think ot appllng such u tit tn to him Tin in is no cldeiito that ho difiauded anyone. He did not 1111 his gian.irles by "coimrlng' the whi'iit crop and taking money trom the pockets ut tho poor to nil his own. He lalsed Ills (tops on his own lb Ids and Ills prosp"et to elilaige his billldui:.'s would furnish einplojinent tor u luge number of nifti n.d mako good times. That man covctecus" Why. he Is Just the sort of man of which nnv communlt would bo pioud. Wi would call him progiesslvo, enter prising and honor him with cvtry olhco within our gltt. Yet Chtlst held him up as un awful exumplo to tnfoice Hid waiuing ngalntt covetcousness und repre. seated God as calling him a fool. In what did his sin consist? N'ot in exteiiblou, not in looking with longing upon another's possession, hut blmply giving himself up to a good time, ngaidless of tho claims which God hid upon his wealth. Ho was an idolater, ho wotshlppcd telt. Jt was my Holds, my bains, my goods, my pleasure, with no thought of God's slmie, no sympathy for his druthers need. Christ adds- "So is eveiy one that Is ilrh towaid this world but poor toward God." OUU m:SETTIXG SIN. This foim of cuctousni.8s Is one of our benvtlliiK Bins. Our homes 1110 lu. LrtaMni; In luxury Wo upend moio on ourseUcs uvery yi.tr, unit tho amount devoted to tho Lord's work, if not uctuul. 1 ili'cn.ieli'K. is not keeplnp pace with the Ir.cruit-o lu our own expcndltuies, Compnio the amount which your bunds havo pluced In the Lord's treasury with the amount which has cono for our own enjoyment nnd rfo if ou tan con. telvo of uny "Well done, Kood and faith ful i-cnunt," waltlnu for you oer yonder. i:very church has a powerful minority who contribute lotlthur ifKUl.irly to its Ictal or benevolent work. What does this ineun? It nwuns that there are many who aro violating the covenant they have made, with their church 'and with thtlr God, who, nccoitllr.K t Clulst'M dcllnl tlon, aro guilty of covutousnens, and according to I'aut'tt pcslllve statement haio no part In the kingdom uf ihrlet and nf God. A church lias a right to miv that mil member shall conttlbute something or If too poor to do thin, shall recilve from tho church tho assistance whleh it hit stands riady to render Its needy mem bers. Hut nilther church nor pastor has any right to say how much that coutt lh.i- tlon shall be. This Is something for the I Individual to settle between himself and Ills Ood, "Freely ye have received, flee ly give." We take grent comfort in tho story of tho widow's mite, and I bellexo that It waB recorded for the encourage inent of those who have llttlo to give. Hut did you ever think that It this woman received the Master's commenda tion for giving her llttlo In the ptoper spirit, she would also huvu merited Ills condemnation If she had withheld her gift. This story has a double applica tion. It menus that If ou have hut one cent to give and relllshly withhold that, tho curso of God will rest upon ou mid .otir money as truly as if ou had h thousand dollars ai.d kept Hint back. Not what wo glu but wlut we have, Is tho mensuro of our consecration. Often wo can see ourselves In our chll dtcn. Some little ones were pHylng wl'h a Noah's nrk. The animals matched out in stately procession two and two. And when nil worn out the children leniim bercd that No.ih built nil altar nnd of fered a sari Itlee. After considerable cna lng they obtained permission to build n alter nnd ofler their saeilflee with a leal lire. Then came the dlllleulty of select ing the offetlni;. i.ikh Tin:m i:lui:us Finally they decided upon ti lamb with n brokin leg that could not mnrcli In the procession. These ehlldicn were like their elders "giving to the l.oid that which erst them nothing." We do not begin 'young enough to tench God's claim upon our substance. Ho long as children tiro encouraged to spend their dimes and nickels for candy nnd give their pennies in Sunday school, so long will thty glow till to bpend their dollars upon themselves and glo their pennies to the Lord "Take heed and hi nine of covetous ness" "For the covetous man hath no Inheritance In the Kingdom of Chtlst and of God." Mttv it never bo ours to confess "I lived for mjsclf; 1 thought of myself; for m.tselt and none beside. Just as If Jesus had never lived; as If He had never died." WE NEED MOBE JOBS. So Stated the Rev. James Hughes In His Sermon. The Kev. James Hughes, while preaching In the Presbyterian chapel, Adams avenue nnd New York stieet. Inst, night, Bald that Job was one of the most marvelous men that ever lived. He was one of the brightest lights of the old hemlsphoie of time. He still llscs like a great mountain far above the oidtnory plains of hu mun hlstoiy nnd its head is still crowned with light. lie oxpeiienced the gteatest re verses nnd was subject to the most cruel persecution. Satan tortured his budj, friends wounded his spirit by accusing hltn of hypocrisy nnd his wife tiled to persuude him to commit splt Ittml suicide, for she said; "Cui.se God and die." Yet In the midst of nil this he cltiirj to God. He was a great theologian anil a faithful servant of God. Wu need such men today. Our ttuly stiong- men are few. llvlls abound all atound us, and oh, how few aro prepared to go and exterminate them. BISHOP TALBOT PREACHED. He Also Confirmed a Class in St. Luke's. Ulght Rev.
