PERFECT IDEAL
OP RELIGION
WHAT THE LORD REQUIRES OF
MAN FOR HIS SALVATION.
It Is to Bo Justly, and to Love Morcy,
nnd to Walk Humbly In the Sight
of God This Was the Gist of o
Sermon Given by Dr. McLeod nt
the First Fresbyterlan Church Lnst
Evening God's Pardon Cannot Be
Bought Gifts by Love Acceptable
In the Sight of God.
After enjoying the rest nnd recreation
incidental to IiIh nnnunl vacation, llev.
Tunic's Mcl.cod, . D., occupied Ills pul
olt yestortlny morning and evening. At
the latter service his discourse who
limed on the subtrct or a "Perfect
Ideal of Religion," the text being found
In the sixth chapter of Mlcah and the
clRhth vet he: "He hath shewed thee,
O man, what Is good; and uliut doth
the Lord require of thco but to bo
Justly and to love mercy, nnd to walk
humbly with thy God?" Ho spoke, In
pat t, as follows:
"In this text the pioplict Mlcah an
swers tin eo questions, over which much
miperstltlon exists, as legiuds the
rights and ceremonies of religious be
lief, the puichahe of salvation, and
bodily siiftiagc. The prophet here
Jr.iws a sli Iking contiast between God
nadc religion and man-made religion,
ind thus prompts us to ask the ques
tion, 'How shall I come before God to
tccelvo Ills blessing?'
"The true unsucr Is only to be found
thiough the channel of divine revela
tion, How often have the questions
been asked, 'Does true religion consist
of forms, ceicmonics or sentiments?
"Will this Idea or that Idea bilng God's
faor, or me nearer to God?' Some
people maintain tuch Ideas today, but
God tenches us that these Ideus have
no power.
NOT AN OUTWARD THING.
"True religion is not an outwaid
thing, but a thing of the heart, to all
who embi.ice It. We do find scvcinl
passages in the Seilptuies wheic God
piosents certain foims of worship, but
when people woishlp the adjuncts moie
than the wor&liip itself, they fall into
Kcilous euor. They think more of
God's exteilor than inwaid grace.
"The fact needs to be emphasized
that this is a kind of worship with
which God Is not pleased. Incense is
tin abomination In the bight of God.
Feeling is a poor substitute for faith,
bemuse feeling is spasmodic, heie to
day and there, tomoirow. True religion
is not a principle, not a rhapsody, and
to be content with oidinaiy things is
ery easy, but these things only soothe
for a shoit time, and will not stand
the test on the day of tilal.
"Thcie are no tilcks In simple faith
in the Loid Jesus Christ, and the Idea
that p.tidon fiotn sin can be pin chased
fiom God, or that he can bo bilbetl. Is
simrly monstious. Yet many a man
has that Idea, and has set his money
against sin. and lived and died in the
belief that by paying so much money
in this life he could purchase pardon in
the life to come. Multitudes have also
been led to belioe that God's pity and
pai don could be bought, but this is
picposteious.
"God is pleased with costly gifts and
offerings out of love, and those who
h.ne and give little are not to be en-
led. Thov have not learned the alpha
i'bt of Christianity. Love to Ciuist
must prompt the giver, and God would
rather have a full heart and an empty
purse, than an empty heart nnd a full
pur.se. But God's favor cannot be pur
chased.
WANTS TO GrT AWAY.
"Multitudes have also indicted pun
ishment by self-ten tut e, by tiying to
allay the fear of God, and when a man
feels the eye of God is fixed on him,
that mnn wants to get away. They
don't know the meaning of the gospel:
tli.it God Is Love. The answer to these
liicstions Is not by observing certain
lellglous foims and ceremonies; not by
self-toiture, or trying to buy the way
into heaven; but to do justly, to love
meicy, and to walk humbly in the
sight of Clod.
"Christ demands that justice bo done
between man and man, and between
man and God, for to lip a Christian
man is to bo a just man, and to 'be
merciful Is God-like. Sweet mercy Is
nobility's true badge of God's delight;
His moicy shines out dearly in the
woik of Chi 1st.
"To walk humbly, to be humble, Is
to he Christ-like. Humility is the way
to the tin one. God does not require
Impossibilities, but to do Justly, love
mercy and walk humbly. You can't
obtain salvation by puichnso or selr
toituio, but by being and doing good;
by being correct and diligent you will
uttnln the means of grace, and by
being just, merciful nnd humble before
God,
' The answer to all questions as to
linw to approach God is given in these
tliiee woids, Justice, Mercy, Humbly,
find those who aim nfter this end aro
those who can expect God's favor
hojeafter."

KOEMPLE OP AMERICA.
Letter Without State or City Address
Is Delivered to the Person for
Whom Letter Was Intended.
A slightly disfigured but still very
convincing mute witness of the efficien
cy of the dead letter office experts Is
being displayed by Druggist Chailcs
Koemple. It Is an envelope which en
closed n letter written him from Ger
many and which bore the uddrcss "Mr.
Charles Koemple. Cor. of Washington
nvenuo and Linden street, America."
It was started from Germany, May 1.
Since May 12 it has been making tho
l omuls of "Amoilca." A few days ago
It wus delivered to its pioper addtess.
In the dead letter office nre stieet
directories of every city in tho United
States. Every city having n Washing
ton avenue Intersected by n Linden
street was tried for "Charles Koemple"
until the right one was found. As
Washington avenue and Linden street
nre common names for thoiough fares,
and ns most cities have their stieets
extending one way nnd their avenues
at light angles thcieto, It happens that
there are some several "Cor. of Wash
ington ave. and Linden St." in America.
The two sides of the envelope bear
thlity-scven dlffeient stencil impres
sions, such as postmaiks, and declara
tions of "Addresse Incorrect," "Misdl
lected," "Not nt Fi nnkford," "Un
claimed," "Not Found," "Not German
town Station," "No Postoillce Named"
and the like. The triangular stencil
of the dead letter office is decipherable
in three places, showing It was theie
on thiee different occasions.
The letter traveled many thousands
of miles and no doubt was handled by
fully fiOO persons before It reached its
destination. It bore a 2V6 cents stamp.
The letter contained a few unimpoit
unt lines from a. personal friend.

At the Ljceum, Sntuulav afternoon and

The comedy Is In two acts, brimful of
songs, good, bad and indlffoient. The
song that made the hit of the piece was
"When I Go on the Stage," sung by Miss
Hall in a way that evoked encores until
she was obliged tn plead with tho aud
ience to excuse her fiom tncklnsr moro
veises to the end of the sons. After
Miss Hall's song, Hnny Shoit deseives
the ciedlt of saving tho piece, lie has a
pair of leg-, that aio ever so much more
entei tabling than Fi.incls Wilson's, und
he manages to cieateysome mlitli bv the
antics of tho upper pail of his body ns
well.
Gince Belmont sang the role of Antoi
nette with imueli splilt nnd cleverness,
and soveial other members of the com
pany lent assistant a In keeping the fun
