Religious..
REV. DK. 15. T. Y. PIKRCK, of tho
l'enn avenue Tiaptlst church, de
livered a sermon this week nt
Ocean (Stove which has been
commented on ns the Breatest
sermon of the season. Tho Ocean Grove
Times speaks of It as follows:
'Ilev. Dr. It. P. Y. I'leroe, pastor of
the Pcnn avenue ltaptlst church, Scian
ton, Pu was the preacher of tho morn
ing. "His subject was Ingeniously elabo
rated from llcv. 11:1, "Ami there was
Given unto me a reed like unto a rod,
and the tinsel stood sayliiff, lllso nnd
measure the Temple of Ood, and tho
altar, nnd them that worship therein."
"Thnt Ood Is Interested In Ills tem
ple, mindful of Its services, nnd Jealous
of us worship, may lie clearly infeired.
Any neglect of worship or lack of at
tention Indicates decline of spiritual
power. it la today as of old, Tho
temple proflRitres tho Church. In a
pneullar sense nod Is calling on us to
examine that which Is so dear to Ills
heart, the landmark and foundations
of truth In the doctrines of ntonement,
a holy life and self-dtnylnK service.
"Expansion phntild be tho watchword
In our Zlon. This Includes the llcht
of civilization, the open hand of phil
anthropy, the brain of education, the
brawn of Industry, and the heart of
Christianity.
'"The world la longing for a touch of
Jeius. The old world only sees
Chrl't In a cathedral window, carved
In stone, or In a wayside shrine; but
the modern minister's duty is to hold
up the crucified, risen nnd glorified
Fnvlour of men In His leal living pres
ence. The bruised and broken-hearted
are all about w. We must preach
His gosptl of peace and good-will to
all.
"It Is great to he an admired artist,
musician or dlscoveier, but greater to
be a winner of souls.
"For. 'they that turn many to right
eousness shall shine as the stars for
ever and ever.'
"No mere synopsis can do Justice to
Pr Pierce's llnely delivered discourse,
or bring out the telling points of Il
lustration nnd application by which It
was embellished."
IJev. Marlon I.. Plror, pastor of Cal
vary Reformed church, Monroe ave
nue .ind Olbson street, will deliver the
follow Ing very interesting course of ser
mons. Rev. Mr. Piror is a gifted nnd
eloquent speaker, and abundantly able

The McthodM Preachers' meeting of
Exercise is as bad as too little for the
growing girl. It is very easy for her to
omdo, and this is especially dangerous
at that critical period of a young girl's
life when she crosses the line of woman
hood. It is not an
(Efe k uncommon thini: to
n vft la' the foundation
( fc' for years of after
misery by neglect of
necessary precau
tions at the first
"cl ,mge of life,"
The use of Dr.
Pierce's Pavorite J
Prescription not only
establishes recular-
tty, but it gives
health to the entire
womanly organism.
It is the best medi
cine for diseases
peculiar to women
because it cures the
causes of disease
completely nnd per
manently. " Pavorite Prescrin.
tion" contains no
alcohol, neither
opium, cocaine nor
any other narcotic.
It cannot disagree
with the most deli,
cate constitution.
i "I'or a number cf
month! I (uRtrril with
,'rmale trouble," write Miss ARnei Mcttownc,
of uij Hank Street, Washington, I). C. "I tried
various remedies, but none teemed to do me nny
permanent good. The doctors raid it was the
worst cac of Internal trouble they eer hod I
decided to write to you for help, I receheda
very encouraglnR reply and commenced treat,
ment at once. I hod not used your Favorite
Prescription ' a week before I beenu to feel
better, and, as I continued, my health gradually
Improved, aiid-is improving eery day."

Lesson
for
September 1.
lSTnOIlt'CnO.V. Pmbahly thirty jcam
elapsed between the events of last lesson nnd
those now to be studied, the history of which
period is very briefly sketched. Alter the test of
faith the covenant was renewed with Abraham.
Shortly after Sarah died, and she was burled In
the cave of Machpelsh, in ground purihas-d
from Ileth. The trusted servant of Ahiaham
waa sent tn Mesopotamia to secure a wife for
Isaac, and llbekah, daughter of Bethuel, Isaac's
cousin, was brought back. Abraham mairled
Kcturah, a Csnamltlsh woman. Isaac's two
sons, Jacob and I'-sati, were born. The latter
sold his birthright for a luesa of pottage. Isaac
removed to fierar, where he was at the time of
our lesvui, Thh I the whole of the Scripture
story. No mention is made of the outside world,
cieept as neighboring tribes touch the chon
people. The sacred penman narrowed his view
to tjioae who were in the covenant, designing to
show how the plan of (lod unfolds.
PltOSPEDlTY. -I Verses 12, 11, II) Under the
old dispensation little Is said concerning the life
liejond tho grave, It vvai for JeU to make
that known (II Timothy, I, 10). Before His
time men were trained to regard the lnteiesta of
the present life Earthly good was the chief
reward of the righteous, a very prominent ele
ment in the pronilv made to Abraham, (dene.
sl, xiii, 17). So It came to pass that great
ilclies vvero regaided a the gift of Cod, tho
evidence of His favor. ThU opinion would find
easy acceptance among a pastoral people who
live very close to nature, whose succej depends
largely upon tho weathpr and the soil and those
conditions that are supposed to be under the
direct control of (Iod The speculations by which
wealth Is now accumulates! were not then ex
tensively practiced. Heme, wc learn that lsavc,
with (Jod's blessing, gieatly prospered In tho
land of (lerar. He reaped ahunchnt harvests and
had great flocks and herds, dealing in grain
and in stock.
ENPl'LSION. (Verses II. 15, 10 ) A prosper
oik good man Is an unwelcome? neighbor to in
iinfottiiiate wicked min. The contract in wctld
l.v estate reflects iion the latter to the dis
pHinuencpnt of ,il his rjuilltles. And so thP
Philistines envied Isaac. That envy win in-erea-ed
bv the consideration that he was a
stranger among them, .1 foiplgner who was with
them bv their eourlesj-. (Ecclcslastes, tv, I).
Thcv inav have remembered that Isiae'a fither
sojourned In their mlcUt and that In like m in
ner lie was pro-peicd. (OeneeK xxl, 22). They
attempted, moreover, the same method tried
with Abraham Miencsis, xm, 25) to prevent
Isaac from increasing his possesions. Wells of
water which he had lecelved as a father's gift
were stopped up. This was a mot grievom of
fense ami annovmcp. Without water neither
man imr beast could live Not satisfied with in
Infllctlng this injuiv, Ahlnipteeh, the king nf
th count rv, came opprdj to Isaac and directed
him to leave the land. Tills formal act of ex
pulsion was Mscd upon the ground of superloritj'.
REMOVAL (Verso 17)- What shall a man
do whose rights are invaded, whoso property Is
taken fiom him? Ordinarily he slimild stand to
defend what he has and recover what is levt.

But Isaic, after his wells had been stopped, re
moved to another place iion the order of Abi
melech. What motives prompted him! Did lie
set wisely? Had he refused to go i conflict
would have ensued. In which he might have been
successful. But that might have been n doubt,
