mini.ter nrearlied three rrmnn. oil the
justice of f.'od nnd one nn tho love of God
hut when he not. old he pi en hed three
ermon. on the love of find nrid one on
the jtiidion of God.
l-'nr hailt in the ofernidrM there ramp a
lime when (in 1 would rxpre.H one emntion
of Hi. nature whirl, was yet unexprcssnil.
He had made more worlds t linn weir seen
by the nmient. from the top of tho Ivjvp
tinn pyriiiiiid. which vn. used a. nn olwcr
vatoiy, nnd more worlda than modern as
tronomy has ontnlnjfuod or di scried
t ii'iuml, te.eseopie lens. All that showed
the Lord's almitdit iness. but it pave no
dctnniixtration of His ,,ve. Jlo minht
nialte fifty Sntiiins nnd 100 .Tiiiitc,s nnd
tint demonstrate nn instant of love. That
was an unknown passion and the secret of
th' universe. It was a viipprrswrd emo
tion of the ?reat God. Hut th"re would
eoiiie it time when this pavilion of inliuitp
love would lie declared and illml rated,
find would veil it no longer. After the
clock of many centuries had run down nnd
worlds had been horn and demolished,
on a loinpni-.itivfly olivine star a race of
human heinits would be horn and who,
IIioiikIi so bountifully provided for that,
lliev oiiuht to have behaved t hcinselvcM
well, went into insurrection nnd conspir
acy nnd revolt and war finite luminal in
linite, weal; arm iinninst t Ir.indeilio'.t, man
nraiust God.
If lii-di intelligence looked down nnd
saw what was iroing on, they must have
prophesied extermination complete ex
terminationof these oifcuilerH of Jeho
vah. Hut, no! Who is that minimi out of
the throneioi.m of hcavin? Who is that
mining out of the palaces of Lie et.'inul?
It is the So,, of the pjnp.ior of the uni
verse. Down the slaiin of the liiyh heav
ens lie comes till He rein-lion the cold all
ot n Deeemher ninht in rulcstino, and
nmid the blcatings of shetji ami the low
ing of cattle and the moaning of camels,
and the hunter nf the herdsmen, takes Ilia
first sleep on earth, and for thirty-three
yonrs invites the wandering race to return
to God and happiness nnd lieavn. They
were the longest thirty-throe year, ever
known in heaven. Among ninny high intel
ligences what impatience to get Him
hack? The infinite father looked down
and saw His Son slapped nnd spit on nnd
aupptrlesa and homeless, and then, nmid
horrors that made the noonday heaven,
turn black in the face, II m hodv and oul
parted. And all for what? Why, allow
the Crown I'rinee to come on such nn er
rand nnd endure such sorrow nnd die mieh
a death? It was to invito the human race
to put down its nntipathies and resist
ance. It was because "God is love."
Now, there is nothing beaul iful ' in a
shipwreck. U'e go down to look nt the
battered nnd split hulk of an old ship on
the Long Island or New Jersey coasl. It
excites our interest. We wonder when
and how it came nshnre, nnd whether it
was the recklessness of a pilot or a atorni
before which nothing could henr up. II u
tnnn nature wrecked may interest the in
habitants of other worlds ns a curiosity,
hut there in nothing lovely in that which
hns foundered on the rocks of sin nnd
sorrow. Vet it wns in that condition of
moral break up that heaven moved to the
rescue. It was loveliness hovering over
deformity It wan the lifeboat putting out
into the surf that nttpn pted its demoli
tion. It was harmony pit ring discord. It
was a living God putting Hi. arms around
a recreant world.
The schoolmen deride the idea that God
lias emotion. They Hunk it would be a
divine weakness tn li filirred by any
earthly spectacle. The God of the learned
Hiuch and Schlciermnelier U un infinite
intelligence without feelii.i;, a cold nnd
cheerless divinity. Hut the God we wor
ship is one of sympathy nnd compnssion
nnd helpfulness and aUcttion. "God is
love."
Ill nil the lliblc there in no more con
solntory statement. The very best peo
ple have in their lives occurrences inexpli
cable. They nre bereft or persecuted or
impoverished or invalided. They have
onlv one child, nnd thai die.i, while the
next door neighbor has erven children,
and they are nil spared. The unfortunates
buy nt a time when tho murket is rising,
nnd the day after tho market falls. At. n.
tune when they need to feel the best for
the discharge of some duty lliey nre sewed
with nhvsical collapse, Trying (o do a
good nnd holiest nnd useful thing, tliey are
misrepresented anil o;ii"d ns u nicy nan
practiced a villainy. Tliero are people
who 11 II their liven have nullered iniusliees.
Others of less talent, with lens consecra
tion, go on and up, while they go on nnd
flown, j here nre in many nve runin-a linn
have never been explained, lienrtlueaks
Hint have never been healed. Go to that
man or that woman with philosophic ex
planation, nnd your attempt ut comfort
will' ho a failure, and vou will malic mat
ters worse instead of making them belter.
Hut let the oceanic tide of the text roll in
that soul, nnd nil its losses nnd disaste.s
,...u Kn uiilmicricd with blessing, nnd the
sulferer will say, "I cannot understand
the reason for my troubles, nut. i win some

and 'God is love.' " .....

was never rnnqurred but nneo. and that

love, "find ia love."
In this day, when the errrds of churches
nre being revised, let more emphnsi. be
put upon the thought of ,nv text. It it
nppenr nf. tho beginning of eierv creed
a id nt the eln'o. Tho nnrient. used to tell
of a prent -niiilnry ehii fliin who, about
to go to bat He. wns rla.l in armor, helmet
on. bond nnd sword nt side, nnd wdio put
nut hi. arms to live farewell embrnee to
J';, child, and the child, affrighted st
lii. appearance, rnn shrieking nwny. Then
the father put off tbo nrmnr that rnusod
the nlarin, nnd the ehild nv who he wn.
nnd ran into hi. arm. nnd snuggled ngninnt
hi. heart. Creeds must not have too miicli
iron in their make up, terrorizing rnther
than attracting. They must not hide tho
sniiling face and the warm heart of our
father. God. Let nothing imply thnt
I hove i. a .borifT at every door ready to
make nrrest, but over ns all and around
ns nil a mercy that wants to save nnd save
note.
If one pnagraph of the creed seems to
take vou, like a child, out of the arm. of
it fal her, let the next paragraph put you
in (lie arm. of a mother.. "As one whom
bis mol her comfoitcth so will I romfort
you." Oh, what n mother we have in
(iod! And my text, ia the lullnby sung to
us when we arc ill or when we nre mal
treated or when we nre weary or when we
are trying to do better or when we arc be
left or when wo ourselves lie down to the
Inst sleep. Wo feel the warm cheek of the
mot her ngainst our check, nnd there .niinda
in it the hush of many mother., "God in
love."
Out of vnst eternity He looked forwnrd
and saw l'ilate's criminal courtroom and
the rocky bind with three crosses and the
lacerated body in mortuary surroundings,
and lu aril the thunders toll nt the funeral
of heaven's favorite, and understood thnt
the palace of eternity would hear tho
ii r row of n bereft God.
What do the Hible nnd the church litur
sies mean when they say. "lie descended
into heir." They mean that His soul left
His sacred body for awhile and went,
down into th( prison of moral night nnd
swung back its great door nnd lifted the
chain nf captivity and felt the awful lash
I hat would have come down on the world's
back, nnd wept the tears nf un eternal
t trriliee, and took the bolt of divine indig
nation against sin into Himself and, hav
inc. vanquished death and hell, enme out
nnd came, up, having achieved nn eternal
re cr.- if we will accept it.
Head it slowly, reu! it. solemnly, read it
with tears, "lie descended into bell." Ho
knew what kind of pay He would get for
exchanging celestial splendor for Hcthle
hem caravansary, nnd He dared nil and
came, the most illustrious' example ia all
the ages of disinterested love.
Yea, it was nio.st expensive love. There
is much human love thai costs nothing,
nothing of fatigue, nothing of money, noth
ing of sacrifice, nothing of humiliation.
Hut the most expensive movement that
the heavens ever made was this expedition
salvatory. It cost the life of a King.
It put the throne of God in bereavement.
It set the universe aghast. It made om
nipotence weep and bleed nnd shudder. Jt
taxed the resources of the richest of ull
empires. It meant nngclic forces detailed
to light forces demoniac. It put three
worlds into sharp collision one world to
save, another to resist and another to de
stroy. It charged on the spears and rang
with the baitleaxes of human and diabolic
hale.
Had the expedition nf love been de
feated the. throne of God would hnve fall
en, nnd Satan would have mounted into
supremacy, and sin would have forever
triumphed", and merry would have been
forever dead. The tears ai:d blood of the
martyr of the heavens were only a pari of
the infinite expense to which the GodheSd
went when it proponed to save the world.
Alexander the Great, with his host, wns
inarching on Jerusalem to capture and
plunder it. 'ilie inhabitants came, out.
clothed in whito, led on by the high priest,
wearing a miter and glittering breastplate
on which wns emblazoned the name of
(iod, and Alexander, seeing that word,
bowed and halted his army, and the city
wns saved.
And if wn hnd the love of God written
in all our hearts and on all our lives and
nn all our banners at the sight of it tho
hosts of temptation would full back, and
we would go on from victory unto victory
until we stand in Zion and before God.
Lennder swam neroim tho lfntti.u.,.r.f
'guided by tho light which Hero the fnir
Held Irom one of her tower windows, nnd
wlmt Hellespont of earthly rtrugglea can
wo not breast an long as we can see tho
torch of divine love held from the tower
windows of the King! Let love of God
to us and our love lo God clnsp hands this
minute. 0 ye dissntisficd nnd distressed
souls wdio roam the world over looking
for happiness and finding nono, why not
try tins love of (iod ns a solneo and in.nir--
ation nnd eternnl satisfaction? When a
king was crossing p desert in caravan, no
water wns to be found, and man nnd benst
were perishing from tbiit. Alojig tho
way there were strewn thi bones of enra-
vans that had preceded. There were harts
or reindeer in tho king's procession, and
some one knew their keen scent for water
and cried out, "Let loose the harts or rein
deer." It was done, and no nooner were
these creatures loosened than they went
scurrying in all directions looking for
water, and soon found it. and the kinc
and his caravan were saved, and the king
wrote on some tablets the worua, which
he had rend some time before, "As the
hart panteth after the wilier brooks so
ianteth my soul after Thee, O God."
iNime have compared tho love of God
to the oeenn, but the comparison fails, for
the ocean has a shore, and God's love is
boundless. Hut if you insist on compar
ing the love of (iod to the oeenn nut on
that ocean four swift sniling craft ami let
one sail to the north and one to the. south
nnd one to the east and one to the west.
and let them sail ou a thousand years, and
after that let them all return, and some
one hnil the fleet aud ask them if they
have found thn shore of God's love, and
their four voices would respond: "No
shore! No shore to the ocean of God's
mercy!

Colnen Cathedral TVa In Process
Kreetlon 633 Years.
While the first stone of Cologne
cathedral was laid on August 15, 12 IN,
and tho body of the edifice wns not
opened until August 15, 1H-IN, (5(H) years
Inter to the very day, It was not, how
ever, until August 15, lsso, that the
splendid structure was fliinlly reported
completed, having thus occupied In
building tho record time of exactly 0."2
years.
Tho cnstlo of klngagohcrir. which
stands at the southern extremity of
Jutland, took 204 years from the lay
ing of the foundation stone to the rig
ging of Its master's banner on Its
highest flagstaff. Its foundation stone
was the skull of Its builder's bitterest
enemy. Three months after Its laying
Count Jhorslng, the builder of the cas
tle, was then In swaddling clothes. He
did not continue his father's work un
til aged twenty-four.
On his twenty fifth birthday be wns
thrown Into prison by the son of the

Castle, a magnificent Kllznliethnn
structure, designed ln the early part of
the present century. It Is not likely to
be finished, however, building experts
declare, for at least another decade.
Only n few miles distant, on the
same iiialn lond, Is the vnst uulinlshi ,1
palace of the Dukes of Atlud. It was
begun by the fourth Duke, who died
In 18.'!0, who planned It on the most
sumptuous style. When completed It
will be one of the finest private resi
deuces In thn kingdom.
For over twenty years Lord Hute
has been busy building a great man
sion on the island of that name. It Is
not yet completed, nor likely to be for
another ten year... At the end of that
period Mount Stewart, ns the place Is
to be called, will be one of the most

The Monsn.
When the rnlnH nnd sunshine of late
March and early April have lowered
and crumbled the snow, so that travel
ing again is possible, the moose and
ueer leave their yards to range the
woods, feeding eagerly on the expand
lug buds and green plants that ills',
nppenr in woodlands. The moose sheds
his lordly antlers, nnd thereafter, un
til the autumn finds them renewed,
ho keeps himself In retirement, shun
ning the company of bis own kind and
nil other creatures.. During tbo sum
mer, while his budding new horns nro
yet hi velvet, he lies secreted by day In
some dense thicket, coming out nt
night to the still water reaches of
stream nnd hike to feed upon llly-pnds
and aquatic grass. Here he remains
through the hours of darkness, stand
Ing or lying in the wnter or swiiniiiln
perhaps long distances to fresh feeding-grounds.
Tho cow moose and her
calf aro less wury, so far as fear of
man Is concerned, being protected by
law from the hunter's rifle at all sea-
sous, but there are enemies in shape
of hungry bears nnd wild-cats that
compel her vigilantly to watch over
her calf and sometimes to light for its
safety. She seems fully to realize her
Imnitiiiity from danger from man, aud
often displays great indifference to hl.i
presence. Throughout the summer she
stays much of the time in the witter
of still streams and coves in lakes
where water-gross and lily-pads grow;,
with her calf lying in concealment on
the bank, but never so far away but
that she can come promptly to Its res-

Two New Words Coined,
Two new words were brought Into
Knnsns City by travelers lately. One
taken from a poster somcwhero Is
luuglilest." It was applied to a show
and was merely a variation on "fun
niest," which has become too common
for the average circus billboard writ
er.
The other new word Is "mortician."
It Is a puzzler till one studies over Is
while; then ho becomes enlightened.
It means "undertaker." Hut bow ele
gant! . It is unto the plebeian "under
taker" as "tonsorlnl artist" Is to "bar
ber," and even "funeral director" looks
llko a Canadian dime beside it. Who

It Is an axiom with street railroad
men that people are willing to go to
a surprising amount of trouble to
"beat" the company out of the elusive
nltkel. A little old woman board
ed a northbound Columbus avenue car
at Heaver street, the other day. She
looked like a woman In comfortable
circumstances, and, nnturally enough,
the few passengers on the car were
very much surprised when she began
to argue with the conducrkrjp.bout pay
ing her fare.
"I haven't got a cent, anil must get
tn lOSth street somehow," Sfid tho lit
tle old lady.
"Pay or get off," replied the conduc
tor. "Hut," remonstrated the woman,
"you wouldn't put an old person like
me off the car, would you? If I had
the money I'd give It to you, but I
haven't a cent, and I want to go to see
my sick sister "
"Come, now," the conductor Inter
rupted, "it's either pay or get off."
Hy this time the car hnd gone three
blocks, and the passengers were begin
ning to grow Interested. Still the little
old lady temporized, and still the car
sped along. Finally the conductor's
patience gave out, nnd, ringing the IWll
savagely, he stopped the car and mnde
the womnn get out. Then It was that
she revealed her little scheme.
"Good-by, Mr. Conductor," she said,
pleasantly, "nnd I'm very much obliged
to you for the ride. I'm going to keep
getting on nnd off cars till I get to Har
lem. Cheap, ain't It?"
looking back the passengers saw the
old lady hnil the next car nnd climb
aboard. The conductor frowned, and
then he smiled.
"What do you think of that?" he
said.

He tolls what happened to him last
Monday night.
"I hnd been to my man's house and
fixed up a little deal that promised
well. On my way home I wns in a
block of vacant lots when the cloud
burst."
"Cloud burst?" from a listener.
"Yes, cloud burst! More water fell
In five minutes than at any time since
the deluge. I thought ut first that a
water main must have exploded. I
had to throw my umbrella away to
keep from drowning. I waded, tloated,
tread water, and went with the tide, for
temporary rheumatism in both legs
kept me from running. Tho first port
I drifted Into was a drug store and the '
storm quit ns soon as I escaped. '
"I hustled home and my wife Im- 1

dose of quinine mid whiskey. Five
minutes luter I hurried upstairs and
bad a cntch-iis-cntch-cnn with myself,
for every stitch on me stuck like a por

times that I would lose the contest, but
finally won nut mid soon bud on a

"Now, you'd nnturally think that af
ter such nn experience my rheumatism
would be worse. Not n bit of It. I be
lieve the confounded thing can be
drowned, for I haven't felt a twinge
since. Hut you enn't tell. The fact
that I tossed the quinine through the
