IN ELM PARK CHURCH.
Rov. Dr. Goodell, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
Filled the Pulpit.
Rev. Dr. C. I,. Qoodell, of Brook
lyn, N. Y,, one of the most prominent
Methodist clergymen In Oreater New
York and pastor of the leading Metho
dist Kplscopal church, the Hanson
Place church, which has a member
ship of 2,400, In that city of churches,
preached two powerful sermons yes
terday In the Kim Park church. There
Is a certain touch of the dramatic
In his preaching, which was always
earnest and which sometimes grew
wonderfully Impassioned.
In the mornlnfr he spoke on "Who
soever Is Born of God Overcometh the
World," while In tho evening his text
was from Rev., xxi;21, where the apos
tle in describing heaven says: "And
the twelve Kates were twelve pearls;
every several pate was of one oearl:
and the street of the city was pure
gold, ns It were transparent class,"
After explaining why he believed
that this divine revelation of heaven
was possible, probable, reasonable and
necessary he had this to say regard
ing the higher criticism:
"Wo nre now In the throes of a
period of religious thought called the
higher criticism. Higher criticism
never pretended to be anything but
the framcr of tho picture. It's follow
ers merely deal with tho authorship
and tho time of writing of the vari
ous sacred books. They do not pre
tend to lay hands on the sacred truths
themselves.
"The wonderful prophecies of Isaiah
and tho gospel story of John still
mean to us Just as much even If it Is
proven to us that they were written by
others. Some critics say that
tho prophets of the Old Testament
prophecled wiser than they knew. Just
so, nnd their chief claim on my credu
lity and my assent lies In this fact;
because I believe that God must have
been speaking through them."
In explaining the apostle's descrip
tion of heaven he said: "John did the
best hp could with tho materials at
hand. Don't blame hlin If you don't
understand his Imagery, but remem
ber that these material parts strike
ho'me a blessed truth." Referring to
the wide divergence of the views of
many Christians he said: "The older
I grow, tho less use I have for theo
logical distinctions and the more do
I begin to realize that he that doetn
righteousness Is righteous."
In conclusion ho said: "Those who
have seen a deal of life know that
they can never mako n home here on
this earth. Hut, thank God. there Is
a home In another world, where there
will bo no vacant chairs; where the
old folks will he and whore the fam
ily will bo united. At every gate of
this home there is a watchword and
at every gate It is the same. Hear
it; don't forget it; impress It on your
hearts; the name of Jesus."

HOPEFULNESS OF
GOD'S PRESENCE
DISCOURSE OP THE REV. J. B.
SWEET, D. D.
Delivered in the Simpson M. E.
Church Yesterday Morning Pres
onco of God Means Courage He
Enthuses the Discouraged, Waves
Before Them the Sword of the
Spirit and Shouts "Follow Mo!
Fear Not "Victory Is tho Result
of God's Presonce.
Rev. J. H. Sweet, pastor of the
Simpson Methodist Episcopal church,
preached a sermon yesterday morning
on "The Helpfulness of God's Pres
ence." The discourse was listened to
with much Interest by a large congre
gation and proved helpful to all those
who were privileged to hear it. Tho
text was taken from Lamentations
HI: 07, "Thou drewest near In the day
that I called upon thee: thou saldest
'fear not.' " During tho course of his
remarks, Mr. Sweet said:
We speak of this work ns "The La
mentations of Jeremiah," presuming
that It nil has to do with his life and
that he Is the author thereof, but tes
timony appears to point in a differ
ent direction, so far as this third chap
ter Is concerned; and yet in these epl
grammatlcal statements we find truth
so pertinently asserted that the au
thorship would be no discredit even to
Jeremiah.
Here Is the bewailing because of
calamities and tho recognition that
they are of God. Hire Is the humble
confession of sins, sal.l sins being the
cause of stated calamities. Here Is
the revelation of God's kindness and
the inspiration of his presence.
GOD'S JUDGMENT.
Tho inspired author recognizes tho
Judgements of God, bellves In their
remedial possibilities, understands
them as a part of the government of
the Infinite, md then determines that
to this experience there can come to
evtry penitent, (individual or nation),
to every beholder of the Divine right
eousness and believer In the same, that
Divine presence which allays anxiety,
counts in helpfulness, Inspires to cour
age and conveys comfort.
These things open before us the
truth that God's presence Is certain
In every time of true need. Make no
mistake, this Is not doubtfully stated,
or Insincerely uttered. It has been
demonstrated In the past, the certain
ty of its demonstration in ttho pres
ent Is your own experience.
Sojourner Truth cried Interrogative
ly, to Wendell Phillips, "Is God dead?"
and Phillips soon discovcted that God
had heard the cry of the slave nnd had
come down to help and was saying
unto tho despised colored race, "Fear
not." God has promised to be with
every applicant for his presence, and
his promise reveals, first, his anxiety
for his people. Are parents anxious
for tho welfare of their children?
Why do they toll nnd sacrifice: why
early rise and late take rest. If In
these days there Is not revealed tin
Intense desire for tho constant good
of their children, absent or present,
environed with dangers or amidst
peaceful surroundings anxiety on the
part of parents Is In evidence.
TRUE CHASTISEMENT.
Chastisement, which to the child ap
pears calamitous, must oftlmes be vis
ited upon the child for cause, but true
chastisement Is always an expression
of anxiety for the present and future
good of the one chastised. By all Il
lustrative lines of human parenthood
there nre revealed the desires of God,
the anxiety of the Father for tho ever
Increasing benefits of His children.
The writer of this epic chapter re
cognizes the truth of the statement In
the utterance of the text, "Thou draw
est near in the day that I called upon
thee; thou saldest, "Fear not."
Second God's presence means help
fulnss. Thou drewest near In the
day that I called upon thee. God's
presence to all distress Is the war
rant for helpfulness. What God had
been and was to Israel was what God
was ready to be to the individuals
of Israel. What God hnd done for Is
rael was what God had wrought for
tho individuals of Israel. Not a pa
triarch of the past but demonstrated
In his own experience the helpfulness
of God's presence.
Whether It be Abraham, crossing the
weary miles of tho desert, seeking a
promised land; an Isaac pastorally
pursuing his sheik life; a Jacob strate
gic wrestler and believer; a Joseph
the persecuted drenmer, the abused
lad the honorable, the exalted, these
all could say, "The Lord hath helped
us."
ROSTER OF THE PAST.
Read the roster of the past and the
helped of God pass In review: Moses,
Joshua, Samuel, David, Daniel tlie
Hebrew children, tho line of prophets,
of which the man of our text utters
the assurance of presence and help
fulnesslegion Is the number summon
them to testify of the truth of help
fulness and presence, and Moses
says: "He spoke to me face to face,
saying, 'My presence shall go with
thee.' He helped me, for see Israel
from the land of bondage are on the
border line of their promised Inheri
tance," Joshua says: "Ho spoko to me and
said, 'Certainly I will be with thee.'
Ho helped me, for see Israel possesses
Canaan." Samuel says: 'Ule spoke to
me; In the darkness of the night lie
called to me, saying, 'I will be wltn
thee In all thy ways.' Ho helped me,
for see all Israel and their king recog
nize me as the oracle of God."
David, with poetic fervor, recites of
His presence and helpfulness. Danlei
says that wicked men and lions are
but couriers of His presence. He sees
His servant In need, He draws near.
He helps, and lions ate as lambs In the
presence of God. Tho Hebrew chil
dren In tho fiery furnace are witnesses
of His presence and helpfulness.
Now, what He was to these men Ho
was to the men of the new dispensa
tion, for these could say, speaking in
dividually nnd personally, "My Lord
and my God," And what was evident
In their experience Is indicative of
present presence and helpfulness of
and from God to you and me; but,
mark you, the samo depends upon our
recognition of need and our calling
upon God for help.
MEANS COURAGE.
Third God's presence means cour
age, Immediate. What did the pres
ence of William of Normandy mean to
his army? Courage. What did the
presence of Joan of Arc mean to tho
despairing soldiers of France? Cour
age. What did the presence of George
Washington mean to the poor half-

starved army of the colonists? Cour
age. What did the ptesence of Shen
tlan at Winchester mean to the de
feated army? Courage.
So the presence of God with His
army of militants, discouraged, foot
sore, weary, despondent, means cour
age. He Inspires to greater energy,
enthuses tho discouraged, waves be
fore them tho sword of the spirit and
shouts: "Follow me! Fear not!" and
retreating hosts are remarshalcd.
Advance, Is the order. The enemy is
defeated. Victory U the result of tho
presence of God, who Inspires to
courage. Mark It again: Courage and
victory is tho result of our recognition
of need nnd our calling for help. Thu
old Puritans recognized this truth, for
they went forth even to carth'3 con
flicts against cavaliers calling upon
God for presence and help. Aye, and
went forth to win.
Lastly God's presence means com
fort. This Is no theoretic ground or
experimental station. This is no Athe
nian new thing, but Is as old as human
sorrow, and yet Is as now as our pres
ent demands. Years before tho time
of the text, one snld: "My tears have
been my meat day and night, but
thou oomfortcst mo on every side."
(Psalm 71:21) "Bow down thine ear, O
Lord; hoar me, for I am poor and
needy. Thou, Lord, hast helped me,
and comforted me." (Paslm SG:17)
THE MISSION OF GOD.
Isaiah asset ts the mission of God, In
Jesus Cluist: "To comfort all that
mourn." nnd still further brings it to
our heart knowledge when he says of
God: "As one whom his mother com
forteth, so will I comfort you." And
God, through Jesus Christ, becomes
unto all the world "tho Comforter."
So God comes to every one asking for
Ills presence, in the midst of our
fears He says, "Fear not, for I am
with thee."
When our eyes are dimmed with
tears, "Fear not, I will wipe the tears
from your eyes." When waves of
trouble roll around us, He says, "Fear
not. When thou passest through the
waters I will be with thee, my com
fort shall not depart from thee. For
tho Lord hath comforted His people."
And He says today, "So will I comfort
you." Thou drewest 4near In the day
that I called upon thee. Thou saldst,
"Fear not,"
