Is Better Thsa lodilference.
' New York City". The' following sermon
entitled. "Stonine Jesus." nm lireached
tiv th am
tiy th great evangelist, the Kev. IT. i.
Wilbur Chapman, from tlio text: "Then
the Jews took tn
up stones again to stone

31.
The shining of tho sun produces two
effecti in the world, one, exactly the op-
Iioiite of the other. In one place it en
ivens, beautifies and strengthens; in the
others it deaden, mars and decays. Ho
it is with the Gospel of Christ. It is unto
wrme "savor of life onto life;" unto oth
ers it is "a savor of death unto death."
8o it was with the coming of Christ into
.the world. He brought to light the truest
affection and the deepest hatred. Men
loved darkness rather than light, so
Christ's coming into the world could only
disturb them. t
If you go into tho wood on a summer's
day, and. if it be possible, turn over ono
of the logs which may be near to you.
you will find underneath hundreds of
little insects; the moment the light strikes
them they run in every direction. Dark
ness is their life; they hate the light. But
if you journey a iittlc further and lift a
stone, which for a little time has been
covering tho grass or the little flowers, the
moment you would lift the obstruction
these things would begin to grow. The
light is their life; they die in the dark
ness. Christ's coming into the world pro
voked the bitterest prejudice and called
I forth the deepest derotio.i. Simeon, a

1 The text is an illustration of the fact
that those who were models in fuirnesf
of their treatment of men ore most unfnii
in their treatment of Jesus Christ. Ii
you are familiar with the mode of stoning
offenders in the early days, you will be
able to see how true this was of the Jews.
.The crier marched before the man who
was to die, proclaiming the man's sins and
the name of the witnesses appearing
against him. This was for the humane
purpose of enabling any one who was ac
quainted with the circumstances in the
caso to go forward and speak for him,
and tho prisoner was held until the new
evidence was given. But the Jews were
not so considerate of Jesus; when He
said, "I and My Father are one," imme
diately they began to atone Him.
i All that i asked for our religion, for
Christ and for the Bible is just a fair
consideration of their claims. The Bible,
we claim, ia the word of God, not becuuse
it ia old only, but because it is both old
and tiue. It reems as if it were written
for us aa individuals; it is my present an
swer to my present need. We simply
present the Book in evidence. Suppose
you try to find its equal; suppose you try
to produce its simplest parable; failure
. ,wouid be the result. Our religion is the
same; we only ask for it a fair considera
tion. For ChriBt it is just the same. Iu
England not long ago a woman was lec
turing against our religion, and after she
had closed, one of fTie mill-hand said,
."I would like to ask the lecturer thi one
question: Thirty years ago was the curse
of this town and everybody in it. I tried
to do better and failed. The teetotalet
got hold of me, and I signed the pledge
and broke it. The police took me and
sent me to prison, and the wardens tried
--o make me better, and I heron to drink
as' ioon aa I left my cell. When all hao
failed, AJk took Christ aa my Savior, ant
V madet new man of me. I am a mem
ber of the, church, a class-leader and sn '
perintendentof the Sunday-school. Il
Christ is a myth and religion ia untrue,
tow could I be o helped by them 1"
i Men are still atoning Jesus Christ. Per
liaps you shrink from the conduct of tht
Jews 'and cry, "Forsharne!" but there is a
,worse way to stone Him than that. 'Jen
can hurt you far more than by str 'ins
you in the face or beating you nth
stripes. Do you imagine that t in 'i
worst suffering was when they cast s.onei
t Him, or scourged Him, or put nail
through His hands? I a in sure not. hut it
was rather when He came unto His own,
and Hi own received Him not: whn
they called Him "this fellow;" when He
was in Gethsemane in an agony; when He
was on the cross and He felt so forsaken
that His heart broke.
If He were hen to-day in the flewh ni
He is in the Spirit, I am sure there art
ways we could hurt Him more than by
taking up stones from the verv streets
and casting them in His blessed fare until
His eyes were blinded by the blood drop
falling down. '
IIC0N8ISTENCV.
I.- Have you ever noticed the sadnesi
which throbbed in the words of out
Savior at the Last Supper, "One ol yot
hall betray inei" or when lie was walk
ing with them toward the garden, "Ah
of you shall be offended this night be
'cause of Me?" or when He was in tlu
, garden and we hear Him saying: "What,
could you not watch with Me one hourr'
.The atone that hurts Christ most is not tht
one that is catt by the unbelieving world;
He expect that; it is the one that it
cast by Ilia own people, and there ia onl
one atone that they can cast at Him, and
that is the one of inconsistency to talV
ona way and live another, confessing wit I
.the lips and dsnying in toe walk. Yot

III. With many it is the stone of indif
ference. It wa one of the lirst cat nt
Hira in the world. It began at the man
ger, going to the cross, and it i still
being thrown. With curling lips and in
solent contempt men said, "Is this not
the carpenter's son?" When He was on
the rross, they snid in derision, "He saved
others: now let Him save Himself," It is
now the ninth hour and darkness is settled
about the nlace. Ii(en! Ilia lips are
-moving: "Eloil Eloi!" 8urely this will
move them; but some one says, "Ho ia
calling for Elias; let us see if he will come
to Him." This is all like the gathering of
a storm to me: first the oloud wns the
size of a man't hand, that is, at Bethle
hem; it is larger at Kgypt; heavier at
Nazareth; darker in Jerusalem; then He
comes up to the Mount of Olives, nrd the
cloud seems to break as He cries out,
"Oh! Jerusalem, Jerusalem!"
I Have you been indifferent to Christ?
lAnvthing is better than that; better out
spoken opposition to Him than to he theo
'retirlly a believer and to be practically
denving Him, How can you be indifferent
to Him?
A man working on one of the railroad!
in the State of Indiana discovered, one
morning, that the bridge had fallen, and
lie remembered that the train was due. He
started down the track to meet her. saw
her coming, and, raising his hands, pointed
,to the bridge, but on she came, having no
time to lose. He threw himself across the
track, and the engineer, thinking him a
madman, stopped the train. The man
arose and told his storv and saved the lives
of hundreds. Christ did this for you: lie
purchased your redemption by the giving
of Himself whether you have accepted this
salvation or not. Will you stone Him foi
that?
TJNDELIEF.
IV. When He said: "I and My Father
are one," they east another stone at Him.
That was unbelief. Indifference was hard
to bear; hatred cut like a knil'e, but unbe
lief was the crowning sin of the Jews.
Many are hurling it at Him to-day. He
has promised to save us if we only believe,
and we need only to trust Him to be
saved. A little girl in Glasgow who had
just fcund peace was heard counseling one
of her playmates in this way: "I say, las
sie, do as I did, grip a promise and hold on
to it, and you will be saved." mid there it
salvation in the child's words.
Now read the verso that immediately
follows the text: "Many good work have
I shewed rou from Mv Father: for which
o: those works ao you stone Me: it is
supposed that some of the Jews had actu
ally struck Him with a stone, and this
drew forth from Him words tender
enough, pathetic enough to turn aside the
hatred ot one who nan a neart oi stone.
DO NOT STONE HIM.
1. Because of what He was. thev called
Him the bright and morning star; the
fairest of all the children of men; the
chiefeat among ten thousand. Oh. that we
might have our eyes open to behold Him!
I. ritty year ago there was a war in
India with England. On one occasion sev
eral Knirlish omcem were taken nrisonerx:
'among thorn was one man named Iiaivd.
UH3 ot the Indian otticcra nrongnt letters
tu Dut on them all. Kurd had been sore I v
wounded and was suffering from his weak
ness. A gray-haired officer said. "You will
not put chairs on that man, surely?" The
answer was, i nave just ns many icticrs
ns nriaonem. and they mut all be worn."
Then said the old hero, "Put two pair ou
me" Baird lived to gain his freedom,
but the other man went down to his death
doubly chained. But what if he hud worn
the fetters of all i:. .the prison, and what
if volutarily he had left a palace to wear
chains, to suffer the stripes and endure
the agony? That would be n poor illustra
tion of it 11 that Christ has done for you
and for me. Will you stone Him for that?
.1. Because of what He is to-day. In
1517 there was a great riot in London,. in
which houses were sacked and a general
insurrection reigned; guns in the toner
were thundering against the insurgents
and armed bands were assailing them on
every side. Three hundred were arrested,
tried and hanged; five hundred were cast
into prison, and were to be tried before
the king, Henry VI If. As he sat in state
on the throne the door opened and in they
came, every roan with a rope about his
neck. Before sentence could lie passed on
them three queens entered, Catherine of
Aragon, wife of the king; Margaret of
Scotland, sister of the king, and Mary of
France. They appronrhed the throne, knelt
at the feet of llis Majesty and there re
mained pleading until the king forgave the
i; ..a Un .1 r-.wl 1 ....... .n mat.
But theie is a better intercession than
iliac going on lor you ana inr me u. ;
moment. Will you stone Him for that?
Looking out from the window of heaven
the Son of God beheld people heavily bur
dened, bearing the weight of their sins,
groping about in their blindness, crying.
''Peace! peace!" and there was no peace.
And He said, "I will go down anil become
bone of their bone and flesh of their lle-h:
I will open their eyes and bear their bur
dens, foririve their sins and give them
peace." Between man and the Father's
douse was a great gulf, wider than the dis
tance from coat to west, deeper than the
distance from north to south, but Christ's
coming bridged the gulf over. Across the
chaum Ho cust His cross, and ou tho other
aide I see Him standing. His arms out
spread. His attitude one of pleading. Lis
ten! you will hear Him saying, "Come unto
Me, come unto Me, whosoever will, let
him come." Will you stone Him for that?
A Wilt Power.
. It is the written law of God that nmi
shall receive according to his gifts. The
law holds in every remtion in life, as we
deal with men so will men deal with lis.
Every action in life has its measured ton
sequences. The law of reciprocity holds on
all occasions. A man is not entirely sub
ject to his environment. We often hrar
men complain that they are victims of cir
cumstances, but God has given us a will
power which if we but piooerly exert it
will prevail over the evil influences of our
surroundings. Tho Kev. H. E. Cobb, New

Siibfccl: Pant and Silas at rhillppl, Acts vl ,
- 2i 3-0oldtn Text, Acta xvl 31 Mem
ory Ver, 29-32 Commentary
a Ihj Day's Lcuoa.
, I. An evil spirit cast eut (vs. Ifl lH).
The missionaries made their home at the'
house of Lydia (see v. 15) while they con
tinued ta preach the gospel at 1'hilippi.
''hey had good success, anil in this city the
first Christian church in Kurope was found
ed. But their great victories did not como
about without great opposition. There
was in the city a certain damel who was
a fortune-teller, who brought her masters
great gain. This slave girl followed the
missionaries md cried after them. Paul
was grieved because of this, and command
ed the evil spirit to come out of her.
"And be came out the sr.me hour" (v". 1H).
Why was Paul gieved? 1. Because her
presence was troublesome to him. 2. Be
cause it might appear that he was in al
liance with her. ii. Because what she did
was for gain and was a base imposition.
4. Because her state was one of bondage
and delusion. Si, Because the system un
der which she was acting was then holding
a huge part of the pagan world in bondage.
II. Paul and tSilas arrested (vs. 111-21).
After the evil spirit had left the girl she
no longer had power to make money for
her masters by fortune-telling. This maue
her mnsters angry, and they seined Paul
and Kiln and dragged them before the
magistrates into the market place, whero
legal business was transacted. "The Phil
ippian magistrates were excited against
the missionaries bv the nccusntinn that
thev had attacked the religion of Home."
III. Paul and Silas beaten and im
prisoned (vs. 22-20. 22. "Multitude rose
up." An excited mob.' This whs done
without any form of law. The very magis
trates who were affecting such great zeal
for the law were among the first to disre
gard it. "Rent oil their clothes." They
violently tore the elothi-s off of Paul end
Silas "Heat them." The words mean to
"beat with rods" (2 Cor. 11: 25). The Ro
man custom was to inflict blows upon tho
naked body.
23. "Many strincs." The Roman pun
ishment was not limited to "forty stripes
save one." like that of the Jews.
24. "Thrust them." A'l sore and Weed
ing. "Inner prison." The dungeon, a
deep. damp, chilly cell, far under ground,
opening only at the top, without fresh uir
or light.
IV. A gTeat deliverance fve. 15. 20).
25. "Praved and sans praises." Their
wounds were undressed; filth nnd vermin
added to their pain; their position was one
of torture. Sleep was out of the question.
They passed the night in devotions. It i
ft signiticant fact that the must joyous of
Paul epistle is that written to the
church at Philippi, born out of his expe
rience of suffering.
20. "An earthquake." Thus did God
answer prayer and prove His presence and
protection. No doubt nil Philipni heard
the sound and felt the forre of the earth
quake. "Doors were opened," etc. The
chains were made fast to the wall, and the
shock which mirst asunder the bolts of
the doors also released the fastenings
which held the chain in the masonry. A
symbol of the spiritual deliverance they
were to effect for the heathen (Isa. 42: 7).
V. The jailor converted (vs. 27-34).' 27.
"Awaking. ' The praying and singing did
not awake him. but the earthquake did.
He evidently slept in full view of the pri
son doors. "Drew out his sword." The
Roman laws transferred to the jailor the
punishment due to an escaped prisoner.
Ho decided at once to take hi own life
and thus avoid a worse fate. He supposed
that all in the prison had escaped.
28. "Paul cried." Anticipating the jail
or's fear for his own safety, Paul raised
his voice to secure attention at once. His
purpose of suicide was a great sin. "All
here." "Strange for a prisoner to be so
licitous about his keeper. But Paul was
passionately trying to save men, and tho
whole gospel is an appeal to men to do
themselves no harm."
29. "Called for a light." Which could
he carried in the hand. This care for bis
welfare begat a tenderness iu the henrt of
the keeper. It was the arrow of convic
tion which had reached his soul. "Came
trembling." Not for hi life or hi office,
but for his soul, which he felt was in dan
ger of cternul los. A moment before he
was ready to destroy his life to escupa the
wrath of man. but now ho was eager to
find the way of life.
, 30. "Brought them oat." "From the
inner prison, where they were confined in
the stocks, into the court of the prison, or
into his own apartments, having no fear
that they would escape, but rather con
vinced that God was overruling all thing
for them." "Sirs." "The Greek word im
plies an acknowledgement of great super
iority. Those who hod been hi prioner
were now his lords." ''S-ved." "He had
called for a light to look tor hi prisoners.
He now calls for the true light, to go forth
out of his own prison."
31. "Believe." etc. The sum of the
whole gospel: the covenant of grace in a
few words. Faith in Christ saves us, (1)
because it ia the acceptance of God's way
of salvation by the atonement in Jesuit;
(2) because it is the act of taking the
things offered to ua by God; (?) becuuse it
is the act of committing ourselves to an
infallible teacher and guide; v4) because
it unites us to Christ, the holy and perfect
being; (5) becauso it fills the lieait with
love to God arv to Jesus; (0) it makes
spiritual and eternal things real and ef
fective in our lives.
32. "Spake unto him." Then they pro
eeeded, more at leisure, to pour into his
attentive ears the history of Jesus Christ,
to declare His doctrine, and to explain
what it was to believe in Him.
33. "Washed their stripes." "He had
not concerned himself about their suffer
ing condition when he put them into the
inner prison, but now that his sins were
washed away his thought was to minister
to the needs of those who were instru
mental in his salvation."
34. "Set meat." As they were the in
struments of bringing health to his soul
be became the instrument of health to
their bodies. "Rejoiced." The joy that
filled the hearts of Paul and Silas, making
the prison a delightful place to them, now
filled the hearts of the converted heathen,
and made their family circle the scene of
holy worship.

Anaesthesia Without Drugs.
Dr. Stelner, a Dutch physician, re

traveling In .lava, says the London
Chronicle, He chanced to atop one
day at Sourabaya, where the Javanese
maintain a large hospital for prison
ers. Hla notice was directed to the
fact that In the treatment of such
cases as necessitated an anaesthetic
the native physicians did not resort to
a drug, but Instead they were mani

No boy can afford to neglect his
work, and with a boy work, aa a rule,
means study. I am no advocate ot
senseless cramming in studies, but a
boy should work, and should work
hard at his lessons, in the first place,
for the sake of the effect upon hla
own character of settling to learn it.
Shiftlessness, slackness. Indifference
to studying, are all most certain to
mean inability to get on in othet

Tlio doi'tm- then sat dotrn in .1 chair,
and asked him to count i! again. lie did
so. and -aid, "It h.is one down to scv

The doctor then lii'd down on the lounge,
ami said, "Now .'ount it again.'
Thi- tho younc man did. and in surpr!r
said. "Why. it is only sixty-four; what an
extraordinary thing! '
The Doctor tiien said. "When you lie
down al nighl. that is the way nature
takes to give your heart rest. Von know
nocliinic about il, hut your heart, that for
ever licating organ, is taking a rest, and
if you will but reckon it up, you will lind
that it i a great deal of rest, for in lyiiia
down I tie heart is doing ten strokes les
a minute than before. Multiply that by
sixty and it is six hundred, and multiply
that hy eight hours, and, within n liar
lion, it is live thousand strokes different:
and us the heart throws some six ounce
of blood at every stroke, it makes a differ
ence of some thirty thousand ounces ol
lifting iu u siiiuie night, or over six bun
dreir and eighty-four thousand pound"
every year! When I lie down nt nighl
without auv alcohol, then my henrt gels
its rest, nnd my strength is renewed. Hut
when you take your wine or grog, you do
not get that rest, for the effect of the
alcohol to increase the number ol
strokes, and instead of getting the rest
whii h sleep is intended to give, you iorcc
I lie heart to some fifteen thousand extra
strokes in n single night, and the result is.
that you rise up in the morning com
paratively weak, and until for the next
dav's work till vim have taken another
drink of the 'ruddy bumper,' which you
seem to think is a source ot strength und
the life of man below."
The young man acknowledged that tlii
must be so. He lienan to reckon up the
ligurcs. nnd found what it was to be liitimi
np so many ounces so many times, n d
the result was that he became a total ab
stinence man, with the greatest benefit
to his health, nnd aa he ndniits, to his
enioymcnt. of life and happiness.
If those who resort to stimulants. n
they say, to give them strength and health,
would but consider facts and statement

roverty and Drunkenness.

It should be the aim ot every friend of tem
perance, therefore, to give his cordial sym
pathy to all efforts to abate poverty. l!ul
social changes that affect the mnterial con
dition of the masses of men conic about
slowly, and while these changes arc pro
gressing it is not u waste of energy to view
the average man and woman as a free
agent and to urge upon him and her On
duty and advantages of letting nkoho1
alone.
That method, tliongn il, does not promii-c
the elimination of the drink habit from so
cicty, at least makes certain the saving ol
many men nnd women.
Il is doing good ill detail, while waiting
for larger causes to produce wholesale if
suits.
A Novel Mellio.l.
The latest and one of the most novel
methods of promoting the cause of tem
perance is that of impressing the effects ol
alcohol upon the public by meant, of ad
vertiseinenls. This peculiar device origin
ated in I'aris. Frame, nnd has proved very
efleclual in decreasing the consumption ol
jiquoi in that city. Scientitic facts, statis
tics, cartoons, caricatures, all are used nnd
the Parisian is reached nt every turn, from
every iiround of uppenl. The billboards
shout the results of alcohol at him; the
cars and 'buses present brilliant argument
for temperance in word and picture; he i
enticed into reading some thrilling incident
in his morning paper and finds that it ends
with a forcible temperance application.
The Frenchman has been reached, and

trick, "one could instill into the drunk

will be attended by the direst conse

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
Ccacnl Trade Conditions.
Firadslrcct says: '
Wholesale trade is qtictinu; down a
the stock-taking period approaches, and
what activity is noted by jobbers i in
forwarding supplies of good needed to
rc-cnforcc stocks of retailers, depleted
by what is conceded to be the most ac
tive holiday trade on record. Cold
weather North and West lias liclpd
sales of furs, heavy clothing and
slciKlis and further stimulated rencrat
retail buying. There arc. of course,
some drawbacks, such as unsettled
weather or bad roads at the South, the
coal shortage at the East and the con
tinuance of the railway congestion at
the West, nfTccting the movement of
cokr, bituminous coal ami Rcncral
freight, but, taken as a whole, the mer
cantile community contemplates the ap
proach of the end of the year with com
placency and satisfaction.
Knowing as it locs that most lines
o( trade will show gains over loot and,
therefore, over any preceding year, the
feeling is that the year has been a Rood
one, while the fine wheat crop outlook
and the volume of orders already book
ed for next year give promise of fu
ture good conditions. Even the knowl
edge that some manufacturing plant:
arc, like many domestic consumers,
short ot coal and arc contemplating a
rather earlier than usual holiday shut
down fails to arouse the pessimistic
feeling noted earlier in the year, when
the fuel shortage was more talked
about.
Seasonable influences affect 'the Rrcat
industries. Building is less active but
the tone of the lumber market is one
of undiminished strength. The iron
trade presents surface quietness but
some important matters are taking
place. The passing of control of large
independent mills into the hands of the
leading interest unquestionably make
for stability in the department of wire,
tinplate and sheets. Southern iron
men are reported more inclined to do
business for iooj at a reduction from
fancy quotations. Very heavy buying
of cars and other rolling stock is indi
cated for the new year, and liberal
orders for plates, wire and structural
materials for 1903 delivery are also
noted. Pig iron and steel billets arc
quiet. Irregular coke supplies harass
furnaces anil interfere with operators of
the finishing mills. High prices of coke
nnd raw materials and higher freight
rates form a combination fraught with
difficulty to independent mills. Practi
cally the entire rail output of the
country for next year is already sold.
Immense quantities of steel will be
needed for new car building.

Tim l'art We Must ln.
When a min's interests and- affection
arc scattered over the whole wide field
of humanity, he does not often count for
much in practical social service. Dilution
counts against efficiency. It ia easy to be
in theory a lover of humanity, nfter the
order of the Pecksniffs of the earth, and
to lie unkind nnd unloving toward our im
mediate neighbors. Therefore, according
to the Congrcgationalist, the law of Hod
docs not say. Thou shalt he a lover of
mankind, bill rather, Thou nhalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. Its grip is specializ
ing. The one man who is withii reach
looms up out of the foz of a generalised
humanity with his individual claim ta
consideration.
Neighborly willingness is one thing,
neighborly activity another. The one
awaits its opportunity, the other grasps 1
and uses it. In Christ's thought it is op
portunity which makes neighborhood. Tho
man who fell among thieves was the neigh
bor of the priest and Levite the moment
his need came within their reach. The
people of India were not within our active
range nf neighborhood until the wav was
open to serve them with the (Jospel.
When the famine came the opportunity
of neighborhood increased. If a man is out
of reach we are not to waste our energies)
in worry over his trials and deprivation,
lint if (iod in anv wise brings him and .,
us together, though he be at the ends of
the earth, his need and our opportunity .
make him our neighbor.
Chrst presents the problem in ita sim
plest elements, making it a primer lesson
of the true spirit of neighborliness. Prac
tically, under our modern conditions of
world communication we have a more
complicated problem to solve. Suppose?
the (iood Samaritan with the wounded
man upon his breast had come upon aiij,
other victim of the violence of t! ' ",
Suppose he had come upon a batt INO"
where the woondeil lay 111 heaps. Si

on one occasion had been away to spend - '

turning home in the lingering twilight,
ol u long Knglish summer evening. He '
knew the way well and as the light bnj "
gered was allowed to return home alorgj
When half the distance was covered, t
heavy clouds upon the horizon began 't"
crowd each other overhead. A preniatnrw , .
darkness nettled down, relieved only by .
vivid flushes of lightning and the rumble
of neiring thunder. Frightened at the ap
proach of the storm, with beating hearf
and quickened steps the lad pressed 00
and at. a turn in the road heard a familiar
voice saying: "Don't be afraid boy, father
is coming to meet you." The distance to
the -father was soon covered. The little '
fellow was soon covered within the ample
storm cloak of his father, and the littls)
hand was grasped by the strong, manly
hand. What cal-ed the lad for, the dark
ness, the rain, the lightning and the thm
dcrY Father was there. . i x
