nblllty. Ills wife Is well known here,

Tho memorial service win do ncia
for tho following members who have
Hlnri rlurlnir tho year: A. P. Alexan
der, Blnghamton. X. Y.; Philip Bart-

conference, having been a minister
sixty-two years; Joseph Hartweil,

Candor, X. Y.; J. K. Peck, the archlv
nt of the conference. Kingston. Pa.;

Cooper, Hawley; M. D. Fuller, Owcgo;
S. n. Keeney, iMirdon, Pa.; C. B.
Henny, Alderson; William Edgar,

Wyoming.
it Is n. h cnlflcant fact In relation- to
the itineracy that the average stay
1 or n Methodist minister Is of briefer
duration now than under tho 3-year
limit. The averacre length of a pas-
Itorato based on last year's records Is
.n fmntlnn under two years. That
I there will be many changes not en
forced by the tlmo limit Is certain,
linH n nrnhlpm In offered to the mind
()f the speculative to place nine minls
en offoftpd hv the flve-vear limit la3t
Rmrlnir. It necessitated changing 103
pastors; will the location of the 7 this
year call for a general stirring up of
7?
In his renort on his recent visit to
itho Philippines, where he Investigated
bhurch conditions, Blsnop rotter, or
the Episcopal church, pays high trib
ute to the work or Chaplain Fierce, a
prother ot Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce, of tho
Penn Avenue Baptist cnurcn. Tne
bishop says:.
We must do justice in the Philip
pines or God will have no use for us,
ind our cresenco there will Inevitably
I redound to our national dishonor.
It Is a relief to turn from this aspect
lof the religious situation In the Phlllp-
n nes to that other presented py tne
Ivork of our representatives there and
to the abundant tokens of their wisdom
rand success. As yet they are few in
' number, but under the most wise and
self-sacrillclng leadership of the Rev.
C. C. Pierce, a chaplain of the United
States army, they have laid tho foun
dation of a work of singular foresight
and comprehensiveness.
Mr. Pierce might properly have con
fined himself to his duties as a regi
mental chaplain; but from the begin
ning he has been the pastor and ser
vant of all sorts and conditions of men,
organizing a congregation for the citi
zens of the United States temporarily
resident in or near Manila; another for
the Filipinos, counselling, teaching,
baptizing, ministering as a physician
to their sick and dying, and giving
when otherwise It would have been Im
possible to secure, Christian burial to
their dend, It Is Impossible to exag
gerate tne services ot tins rate man,
whose heroic and untiring ministries
are a crown of glory to the church
whose son he Is, and who has won from
nis countrymen in Manna, or all ranks
and callings, and from the Island peo
ple, to whom most surely God has sent
him, universal love and honor.
The undersigned desires also to maki
mention of the good work of repre
sentatives of St. Andrew's Brother
hood, In whose rooms the first of your
signers met a very interesting gath
Ing of men nnd women, many of the
rormer neing boiaiers in the army of
the United States, In a social and In
formal wav, wnen ne was permitted
fo take each one of them by the hand,
ana, later, nrietly to address them.
There Is a large place for this work,
out it aim an ouier worn in the Philip
pines should be placed under the ex
plicit uuthorlty of Chaplain Pierce,
whose experience, discretion, singular
administrative capacity and enkindling
enthusiasm, together with the fact that
he enjoys tho unquallllcd tespect nnd
confidence of all those In authority
there, pre-eminently fit him for quasl
Eplscopal jurisdiction and responsi
bility. The following musical selections will
be rendered at the morning and even

Sunday-School Lesson for April 1.
The Beatitudes,
MATT. V: 1-12.
BY REV. J. E. GILBERT, LL.D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
CONTEXT. It Is not easy, perhaps
not necessary, to settle the precise or
der ot events at this point in the life
of Jesus. Homo scholars nre disposed
to take this sermon out of Its connec
tlon nnd put It Immediately after tho
appointment of the twelve (Matt. :t:l),
ns containing Instruction partlsulaily
adapted to them at that lime. Othois
think the discourse was delivered earl
ier, and that certain part3 were ie
peated on tho later occasions. When
ever spoken the sermon on the mount
was the most extensive presentation
of our Lord's doctrine, which hat. been
preserved for the generations Buceeed
Ing Him. It contains so mnny utter
ances on such a variety of tmblects as
to merit nnd receive tho commendation
of all clnsses of men. Evidently it was
Intended to correct the traditions of
the elders and the perversions of tho
Phnrlsees. We shall today study the
opening part of the sermon, which
deals with the subject of happiness.
POVERTY. JeRUs wns speakln? to
His disciples apart from the multitude
(verso 1). He desired them to know,
what all seek to know, the secret of
the personal enjoyment In life. Mis
taken views here have ruined many.
Ho holds that blessedness proceeds
from Inward rather than outward con
ditions (Matt. xxlll26) and enumer
ates seven particulars. The first of
these is poverty, not Hi worldly goods,
but In spirit or disposition (verso 3).
All men are sinners (Rom. 111:23), spir
itual bankrupts, but many appear to
be aware of the fact (Rev. -111-17) and
move ubout with much claim and
show of righteousness. Happy is the
man who has learned his real state;
who feels his Indigence, dependence
and unworthlness: who Is humbledtand
ashamed before God. Such a man Is
prepared for entrance Into tho King
dom of Heaven. Indeed, his lowly
frame of mind tends to peaceful enjoy
ment of llff and to contldence In God
as his only hope.
MOURNING. The next blessing Is
pronounced upon those that mourn,
not those who have mourned, but thoso
who are mourning. This state pro
ceeds from the former. They who
realise that they are spiritually poor
will experience a tenderness of con
science, called Oodly sorrow (II Cor.
vll.10), which Is essential to the soul's
dpllveiy from sin (Psalm vl:l). This
penitence, ns it is sometime desig
nated, maiks the transition from a con
demned to a Justified state (Psalm
xvxlI:4-5), and when accompanied tiy
faith awakens In the soul a peace un
known before (Rom. v:l). Hence, the
Saviour's promise, "they shall be com
forted" (verse 4). The tears and sighs
which result from one's conscious nn
worthlivjss shall be succeeded by the
consolations of pardoning mercy, by
hope and joy In the Holy Ghost (Psalm
11:12), a foretaste ot that evei lasting
felicity, prepared for the saints, when
"God shall wipe all tears from their
eyes" (Rev. vil:17. The Scriptures
abound with examples of those who
have passed fiom weeping to Joy
(Psalm xxxlll.U).
MEEKNESS. Ho who, having dis
covered his sinfulness, laments on ac
count of it, nnd finds the forgiveness
which God has promised (John 1:9) is
likely to become gentle, forbearing,
forgiving, teachable, submissive, which
qualities are Included In tho term
meekness (verse ."). This should be
distinguished from constitutional
quietness lesultlng from love of case
or from defect In sensibility and firm,
ness, a timid and pliant temper, easily
deterred from good and persuaded to
evil. The meekness commended by
Jesus is not negative but positive; not
natural, but gracious. Men of tho
most, vehement and lmplncable dispo
sitions, when they have viewed them
selves with sorrow and looked t
Jesus with trust, have learned to curb
their anger, to cense from resentment,
to make concessions, und to forgive
Injuries. Such people Jesus declares
shall "Inherit the earth" (Psalm
x.l:13). They will be beloved and re
spected by their fellow men, and they
will extract from life Its real sweets,
being free from many serlcus vex
ations. RIOHTNESS.-Out of all that has
thus far been enumerated there ought
to come a genuine desire to be con
formed to the will of God. It was the
broken law that awakened ths aense
of pain described under tho terms of
poverty and mourning and led to meek
nesB. Further consideration of that
law will reveal Its perfect (Psalm
xlx:T) ns the wise and the good rule
of life, the Just standard of character.
He who meditates upon It (Psalm 1:2)
will perceive that under obedience to
Its requirements an absolutely perfect j
society might bo established In the
earth. Hence tho prayer that the will
of God may be done (Matt. W:10) Is a
desire for the highest good of the race.
It Is therefore to be expected that
man will become exceedingly anxious
for personal righteousness, cUslrln it
as much and truly as food' and drink
(Matt. vi:33). To be right, absolutely
and always, Is the highest ambition of
a noble man, the source of constant
blessedness.
MERCY. No man may absolve an
Impenitent sinner without becoming a
party to his offense. We are only re
quired to Imitate God who forgives on
confession (Luke xvll:3). But mrcy
is that attribute which restrains anger
nnd prompts to those deeds that secure
repentance (Rom. xll:20). It overcomes
the ovll that Is In an enemy, througn
n desire to reclaim him from error.
He who has found mercy ought lo
cherish mercy to others (Matt. xvlll:32).
A sinner whom God has pardoned, re
membering the experiences through
which he passed and realizing the )oy
that came nt the end, ought to lojit
with pity upon all who do him an In
Jury and earnestly desire that they
may pass through the same states rf
mind. "Blessed are the merciful" be
cause ot the richer life Into which thy
nre ushered (Verse 7). Blessed also
because of the clemency that will he
shown toward them both by God an 1
man (James 11:13). Nothing can be
more delightful than to know that
others weigh not our transgressions
except for the purpose of releasing u?
from their power.
PURITY. Sin Is frequently men
tioned In the Scripture as n defilement
(I Cor. vlll:7), probably because by It
the soul becomes loathsome In the
sight of a holy God (Hab. 1:13). Hence
every act by which sin is removed Is
called purifying (Acts xv:9). And
when the sin Is taken away the person
Is said to be pure, that Is, clean (I John
111:3). Alas, no man In this life Is ab
solutely free from sin (I John 1:8). But
through repentance and faith the heart
may bo cleansed, so that the motives
shall be right and good. Jesus pro
nounces a blessing upon such, He does
not bestow It, but declares that they
have come Into possession of It. This
must be evident to all who have strug
gled In vain with their baser natures
(Horn: vll:24). But Jesus signs a rea
son for this beatitude, these persons
"shall see God" (Verse 8). They shall
see Him everywhere In nature, In prov
idence, In history, In the word. For,
as sin blinds tho eyes (Matt. xxlll:17)
so Its removal restores the sight.
PEACE-MAKERS. The world Is full
of strife because of sin (James lv:l).
The pages of national history are
stained with human blood. Families
and communities have been disturbed
by Innumerable fueds. What enmity,
discord and misery have come to the
race, to mar the best interests ot all.
Who Is not pained with this spec table?
Who more deserves praise than he who
promotes peace? "Blessed nre they"
said Jesus. Happy In all their Inter
positions between contesting partita
(I Cor. xll:18). Happy In the conscious
ness that they arc doing a good ser
vice. Happy In the prospect of a hot
ter day. But happy because they shall
be held In high esteem by all, being
"called the chlldrtn of God" (Verse 0).
The peace-maker Is a benefactor to
both of those who were at strife, and
knew not how to compose their differ
ences. He is a benefactor of the race
for he has conserved energies that may
be used for the good of all. He Is
Chrlst-llke who Is called the Prince of
Peace (Isa ix:C) and he helps to biing
in that good day when wars shall
cease (MIcah. lv:3).
PERSECUTIONS. After mentioning
tho seven qualities our Lord refers to
conditions which may result from eon
tact with a wicked world. It Is a fact
that some are so sinful as to hate
goodness In any form. Jesus told His
disciples that they might expect per
secutlons (Matt. x:17) the same In kind
ns that which had been visited upon
Him. In our lesson He assures them
that this would be no misfortune, but
rather a blessing (verses 10 and 11).
For all such treatment would only
show that they were part af the King
dom of Heaven, the members of which
have suffered through the whole his
tory of the world (verse 12). The
prophets were put to death, although
servants of God sent to turn the people
from their sins (Matt, xxlli:31). Surely
a man may rejoice to be counted one
of the noble band worthy to suffer for
the right (Acts v:41). But what ought
most to sustain the heart In -uch a
trying hour Is the fact that the reward
Is sure In the world to come (II Cor.
iv:17). "Heaven's long age of bliss
shall repay." ,
REFLECTIONS. Two features ot
this lesson are to be noted: First, our
Lord's words are paradoxical; he
places happiness In those dispositions
and circumstances which men gener
ally deem Incompatible with It This
shows that human wisdom forms a
veiy Inadequate and Incorrect view ot
life. Men go In the wrong direction
for tho highest good to drink at the
fountains where the living waters may
not be found. Second, It will also be
seen that Jesus In the beginning of His
sermon sketches the various stages ot
spiritual life, showing the progress
from sinfulness out Into the purity and
usefulness. In this He has. displayed
nn intimate acquaintance with the
laws of the higher nature. His words
aie adapted to universal man. They
mark that only pathway along which
one may tread with certainty that ut
the end he will come Into the most
exalted and .blessed manhood.

QRAINQ
THE TOOD DRINK V
Some people can't drink
coffee ; everybody can
drink Grain-O. It looks
and tastes like coffee, but
it is made from pure
grains. No coffee in it.
Grain-O is cheaper than
coffee ; costs about one
quarter as much.

Mr. O.n. Snydr.lS10 LouliUn8t..
Lawrence, Kaniai, tolls how he was curd by Dr.
Wllllamt' link Pill for Pale People. He sayi;
'I am now aovonty years of age. Abont three
yean ago I experienced a coldncis or numbneei in
tlio feet, then creeping up my less until Itroaehtd
my body. I grew very thin la floch, my appetite
wai very poor and I did not rclloh my food. At
last I becamo bo bad I was unabloto roovo about
I consulted toveral dlitlngultbed phyilclani, one
tellln.7 mo that I had locomotor ataxia, another
that I had croaplng paralysis. I took their med
icines but they did mo no good and I continued to
grow worcc.
" Ono day nearly a year ago, a friend advlted tne
to try Dr. Williams' rink rills for Pale People. I
Immediately commenced their use, throwing all
other medicines away. Before I had finished my
first box I found that they were boneflttog me. I
used twelve boxes In all and was perfectly cured.
Although It Is ovcrslx months since I used my last
pill tuero has boon no recurrence of the disease.
My appettto Is now good and my general health
is better than It has been for many years."
I!
To save 'a life when medical
science fails is a miracle. To restore
good health ivhen hope has been aban
doned is a miracle. To conquer disease
long supposed incurable is a miracle. All
this, and more, is accomplished by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.' If
everybody understood the potent poxver oj
this wonderful remedy, much needless suf
fering would be prevented, many lives
wo., be saved.
