    SERMONS OF THE DAY.
RELIGIOUS TOPICS DISCUSSED BY
PROMINENT AMERICAN MINISTERS.
''Look at the Good Side of Life"—Sixth Ser
mon in the New York Herald** Com
petitive Series. Written bv Rev. John
I>. Lonif, of Babylon, long Island.
TEXT: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things arehon
est, whatsoever things are just, whatso
ever things are pure,whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good re
port; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, l hlnk on these things."—Philip
pians, iv., 8.
In other words, keep your eye open to
the good that is in the world and, as far as
possible, close it to the evil.
David said In his haste, "All men are
liars," but he acknowledged that it was n
hasty conclusion, and so, presumably, not
strictly correct. Vou, In a similar spirit of
impatience, may sometimes be tempted to
voice the same opinion. But don't. For,
in spite of lies, white nnd black, polite lies,
business lies and malicious lies—lies that
seem to worm themselves into every cir
cumstance of life—the world in general
hates the lie and loves the truth. This is
why you cannot insult a man more deeply
Mian to give him the lie. The insult is duo
to the fact that public opinion domanils
the truth. Look, then, on this side of life,
instead of allowing your mind to dwell on
what is false.
No doubt there is much dishonesty in the
world—dishonesty from the milkman who
waters his milk to the railroad magnate
who waters his stock. Your calico won't
wash, your sugar contains glucose and your
pepper sawdust. But never mind, after all
people in general are honest and at heart
jelieve that "honesty is the best policy."
In tho main they must act upon that belief,
>therwise the wheels of business would
itop to-morrow. Think, then, on this bet
:er aspect of human life.
Rome say that things are very unfair in
his world—that, for example, tho man
who steals a loaf of bread goes to jail
while the man who steals a million of
Tioney at worst goes to Congress. There
s doubtless some truth in this view. And
t'et there is a just God, and though Bome
irnes He may seum a littlo slow, His grist
s, on tho whole, a pretty good article of
ustice. Bemember always that in the
ong run, anyway, even in this world, right
nakos might. Think on this, and don't
et the fact that many conditions seem un
iven and unfair sour your spirit.
Again, there are those who look for dirt
ind find plenty of it. Human lite is by no
neans immaculate, It is true, but none the
ess the world is full of the purity of in
locent childhood, glorious womanhood
.nd noble manhood. Look upon this side
112 life—the side that lies out in the sun
glit of God's approval. Tho pessimist
uinks that everything is imperfect. He
xnmines the blade of grass and finds it
mlty. It is sure to be split or crushed or
unted or otherwise malformed. He al
■ays discovers tho worm in the heart of
he rose or tho thorn on the stem. Don't
oin hi« company. See, rather, the loveli
ess sc. ' '.ered over tho world with such a
•.vlsh hand. Why, as someone has shown
s, even the wayside mud puddle, if
; ewcd at the proper angle, is a thing of
jauty, and mirrors tho sky and reflects in
s bosom the clouds of heaven.
Then why give heed to ill report, either?
orget tlie bad that you hear of your fel
ws and remember tho good. There is
:eat need of this advice. We are all a
ttie too fond of evil reports. The daily
apers, which really only print wlmt tho
üblic demands, show this. What is the
enu of our breakfast paper? Iu large
ensure a plato of violence and robbery, a
sh of filth and a bowl of blood. "Give a
)g a bud name and that's the end of him."
d.-t so. Well, refuse to think on ill report
ad you will not repeat it. If you wish to
dp God and goodness think and speak
ings of good reporl
Yes, if there be any virtue, and if there
any praise, think on ttieso tilings, nnd
•u will be better nnd happier. Life is very
jeh as you view it. As tho proverb goes,
'he jaundiced see all things yellow."
le gamin says, "Oh, it's all in your eye."
id so it is. Look on the right side of life
d not on tho wrong side. Life, no doubt,
is a seamy side, but be charitable. Don't
ink on this side. A painting lias a face
d a back. All tho pictures in your par
•, I venture to say, are hung with the
30 out. Hang your pictures so in the
rlor of ycur mind. Look for what is
odin tho lives of your fellow men and
u will bo happy. No doubt this is a
■rid of sin and misery, and the back
ouud of human life is full of shadows,
t look at tho brightness and seek for the
luty and goodness in God's world. Jesus
rist was able to seo something worth
ing in tho publiuan and the harlot,
mlate His example and you will find the
ne result.
.'hen there is another side to this sub
t. If you try to soe only the good side
life ycu will help to make the world as
u soe it. Mark and mention tho good in
ir fellow man and ho will soek to rise to
i full measure of your esteem. He will
stimulated to deserve your good opinion,
ve faith in a man and you will help to
ke him faithful.
Vlien a man does a good deed—say a
id act—notice it, speak of it, and he will
it again.
*y following the advice given in the text
i will promote your own happiness and,
at is equally important, you will do
nothing toward making tho world bet-

hat is another way of saying that Chris
is are not so skillful in the manipulation
piritunl affairs as worldlings aro skill
in tho management of temporalities. I
all around me people who are alert,
uest, concentrated und skillful in mone
r matters, who in tho affairs of the soul
laggards, inane, inert. Thegroat want

of religion. If ono half of tflo skill

on Christmas night would be echoed
re-eohoed from all Nations and kindred
people: "Glory to God in the highest,
on earth peace, good-will to men." '
the first place, my friends, we want
e common sense in the building nnd
luct of churches. The idea of udap
ness is alwayß paramount in any other
1 of structure. If bankers meet to
ter, and they resolve upon putting up a

ting purposes; if a manufacturing com

lon, more comfort. Vast sums of
ey are expended on ecclesiastical strue
s, and men sit down in them, and you
i man how he likes thechuroh; be says:
ke it very well, but I ean't hear."
aln I remark: We want more common
o in the obtaining of religious hope,
aen understand that in order to BUC
in worldly directions they must eon
rate. They think on that one object,
iat one subject, untH their mind takes
with tho velocity of their own
ghts. A'l their acumen, all their
egy. ali their wisdom, all their com-
mon sense they putin that one direction,
and they succeed. But how seldom it is
true in the matter of seeking after God!
While no man expects to aooompllsh any
thing for this world without concentra
tion and enthusiasm, how many are there
expecting after a while to got into the
kingdom of God without the use of any
such means.
Again, I remark: We want more common
sense In the building up and enlarging of
our Christian character. There are men
who have for forty years been running the
Christian race, and they haven't run a
quarter of a mile! No business man would
be willing to have his Investments unac
cumulative. If you invest a dollar you ex
pect that dollar to come home bringing an
other dollar on its back. What woula you
think of u man who should Invest SIO,OOO
in a monetary institution, then go off for
five years, make no Inquiry in regard to
the investment, then come baok, step up to
the cashier of the institution and say:
"Have you kept those SIO,OOO safely that I
lodged with you?" but asking no question
about interest or dividend? Why, you say,
"That is not common sense." Neither is it,
but that is the way we act in matters of the
soul. We make a far more important in
vestment than SIO,OOO. We invest our
soul. It is accumulative? Are we growing
in graca? Are we getting better? Are we
getting worse? God doelares many divi
dends, but we do Dot collect them; we do
not want them. Oh, that in this matter of
accumulation w« were as wise in the mat
ters of the soul . we are in tho matters of
the world!
How little common senso In the reading
of the Scripturesl We get any other book,
and we open it, and we say, "Now what
does this book mean to teach me? It Is a
book on astronomy; it will teach mo as
tronomy. It is a book on political econ
omy; it will teach me political economy.
Taking up this Bible, do we ask ourselves
what it means to teach? It means to do
just ono thing, get the world converted and
get us all to heaven. That is what it pro
poses to do. But instead of that we go
Into the Bible as botanists to pick flowers,
or wo go as pugilists to get something to
fight other Christians with, or we go a 9
logicians trying to sharpen our mental
faculties for a better argument, and we do
no.t like this about the Bible and we do not
like that, and we do not like the other
thing.
How little wo uso common senso "in
prayerl We say, "Oh, Lord, give methls,"
and "Oh, Lord, give me that," and "Oh,
Lord, give me something else," and wo do
not expect to get it, or getting it, we do
not know we have It. We have no anxiety
about it. We do not watoh nnd wait for its
coming. As a merchant, you telegraph or
you writo to somo other city for a bill of
goods. You say, "Send me by such ex
press, or by such a tteamer, or by such a
rail-train." The day arrives. You send
your wagon to the depot or to the wharf.
The goods do not come. You immediately
telegraph, "What is the matter with those
goods? We haven't received them. Send
them right away. Wo want them now, or
wo don't want them at all." And you keep
writing, and you keep telegraphing, nnd
keep sending your wagon to the depot,
or to the express office, or to the wharf,
until vou get the goods. In matters of
religion we are not so wise as that. We
ask certain things to be sent from heaven.
Wo do not know whether they come or not.
We have not any special anxiety as to
whether they como or not. We may get
them and we may not get them. Instead ol
at 7 o'clock in the morning saving, "Have
I got that blessing?" at 12 o'clock, noon
day, asking, "Havo I got that blessing?"
at 7 o'clock in the ovening saying, "Havo I
received that blessing?" and not getting !t,
pleading, pleading—begging, bogging—
asking, asking until you get it. Now, my
brethren, is not that common sense? If we
ask a thing from God, who lias sworn by
His eternal throne that He will do thnt
which we ask, is it not common sense that
we should watch and wait until we get it?
But I remark ngain: Wo want more com
mon senso iu doing good. Oh, how many
people there aro who want to do good, auu
they are dead failures! Why is it? Thoy
do not exercise the same tact, the same In
genuity. the same strategeru, tha samo
common sense in tho work of Christ that
they do in worldly things. Otherwise they
would succeed in this direction as well as
they succeed in the other. There are many
men who have an arrogant way with them,
although they may not feel arrogant In
their soul. Or they havo a patronizing
way. They talk to a man of the world in a
manner which seems to say: "Don't you
wish you were as good as I am? Why, I
have to look clear down before I can seo
you, vou are so far beneath me." That
manner always disgusts, always drives
men from the kingdom of Jesus Christ, in
stead of bringing them In.
Suppose somo business man in whose
skill you had perfect couiidence should
tell you that to-raorrow. Monday morning,
between 11 and 12 o'clock, you could by a
certain financial transaction make SSOOO,
but that on Tnesday perhaps you might
make it, but there would not bo any posl
tiveness about it, and on Vednosdny there
would not be so much, and Thursday less,
Friday less, and so on less and loss—when
would you attend to the matter? Why, your
common sense would dlotato, "Imme
diately, I will attend to that matter, be
tween II and 12 o'clock to-morrow, Mon
day morning, for then I can surely ac
complish it, but on Tuesday I may not,
and on Wednesday there is less prospect
and loss and loss, and I will attend
to it to-morrow. Now, let us bring
our common sense In this mattei
of religion. Here are the hopes ol
the Gospel. We may get them now. To
morrow we may get them. Next day we
may and we may not. The prospect less
and less nnd less and less. The only sure
time now—now. I would not talk to you
in this way if I did not know that Christ
was able to save all the people. I would
not go into a hospital and tear off the
bandages from the wounds if I had no balm
to apply. I would not have thefaoo to tell
a man he is a sinner unless I had at th<
same time tho authority for saying he maj
be saved.
"Mamma," said a little child to he]
mother, when she was being put to bed af
nigbt, "mamma, what makes your hand s<
scarred and twisted and unlike other peo
pie's hands?" "Woll," said the mother,
"my child, when you wero younger than
you are now, years ago, one night after ]
had put you to bed I heard a cry, a shriek,
upstairs. I came up and found the bed
was on fire, and you were on fire, and 1
took hold of you and tore off the burning
garments, and while I was tearing then:
off and trying to get you away I burned mj
hand, and it has been scarred and twisto?
ever since, and hardly looks nny more llk«
a hand; but I got that, my child, in trying
to save you."
Oman! O women! I wish to-day I couW
show you the burned hand of Christ
burned in plucking you out of the fire,
burned in snatching you away from the
flame. Ay, also tho burned foot and the
burned brow and the burned heart—burned
for you. "By His stripes ye are healed."

Attractive Costaine For a Mlsi.
The stylish and attractive costume
shown in the large illustration, and
described by May Mauton, is made of
lightweight wool in Sumatra
brown, with yoke of silk in the same
color, sash and collar of plaid ribbon
and trimming of embroidered passe
menterie. The bodice, which iB slight
ly pouched, is made over a fitted lin
ing that closes at the centre front.
The outside is fitted by shoulder and
underarm seams only and closes in
visibly at the left shoulder and under
arm seams. The yolk of silk is facod
onto the lining, the overlapping edge
of the serge being outlined by a band
of trimming. The sleeves are two
seamed and show only sufficient ful
ness at the shoulder to support the
epaulets. The skirt is five-gored and
fits smoothly across the front and hips.
The fulness at the back is laid in un
derlying pleats, which form the fan
back. It iB lined throughout and has
an interfacing of haircloth six inches
deep. The edge is bound with vel
veteen.
To make this bodice for a miss of
fourteen years will require one and
seven-eighths yards of forty-four-inch
material.
The skirt will require three and
seven-eighths yards of the same width
goods.
Ideas In Headgear.
Bonnets are not worn by women
much under sixty. Large hats, toques,
and the boat-shaped variety are the
favorite styles, with here and there a
poke for the few who can wear it.
Feathers are put onto slant baok
from the face and fall a little over the j
hair. Miroir velvet haß the prefer
ence for millinery, and glaoe silk and
satin are both used. Anything glossy
is in style. <
Ladles' and Misses' Tzarlna Blouse Coat.
Ruisian-green cloth, black mohair
braid in scroll design ard Persian
lamb fnr combine to make this gar
ment one of the most handsome and
most stylish shown '.this season. The
hat of mode felt is faced and trimmed
with bands of green velvet; variega
ted quills standing np from a small
bow at the left side. While the suc
cess of the blouse ooat is an assured
fact, Manton, many ladies
that are not of slender frame will hes
itate to adopt it in some [of its varia
tions. The model here presented is
one that will be found very generally
becoming as the front alone pouches
whilefthe back fits the figure snugly;
a style that is suited to all figures.
Its simple construction and fitting by
shoulder, under-arm and baok seams
renders it easy to develop, and the
closing is made invisibly in centre
front with coat hooks and eyes. A
unique feature is the shapely collar
that forms a plastron front and baok
and extends below the belt to the
lower edge. The belt is shaped to
fit the figure rounding helow the waist
line in front.
The ooat sleeves are of fashionable
proportions, box-pleats adjusting the
fulness at the top. The stylish Medici
collar is seamed to fit closely, flaring
apart high above the neok. Coats in
this style can be made of material to
match or contrast with the skirt, the
different varieties of camel 's-hair,zibe
line, rep and velours being very ap
propriate or of kersey, melton, cheviot
or other ooatings. Fancy linings of Ro
man stripes or plaided silks are chio
and fashionable, an interlining of thin
flannel being necessary when dre3s
goods are made up for street wear.

A town in Canada is partially lighted
by gas made from sawdust. The saw
dust is charged in retorts which arc
heated by a wood fire, the gas from
the retorts passing into a series oI
coils and thence into the purifiers,
which are similar to those used for
coal gas. Lime is the principal puri
fying agent employed. The works
turn out daily 540 cubic maters of gas,
for the production of which about two
tons of sawdust are required. A man
and boy furnish all the labor needed
at the works. The gas in an ordinary

eighteen candle-power. The best qual
