SUNDAY SERMON
f
A Scholarly Discount by
Rov 1 V Henderson.
Brooklyn, N. Y. Preaching at tht
Irving Square Presbyterian Churcb
on the theme, "The Holy Spirit," tht
Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took
as his text Jno. 14:16-17. Ho said
It the course of his sermon:
As we rend this and tho two suc
ceeding chapters of this good news
of thi' Beloved Disciple, we appre
ciate, more and more, the vital, force
ful influence of the Holy Spirit, upon
the lives of those who love and serve
God. It was at tho close of the Last
Supper that Christ uttered these
words. A few hours and tho cross
claimed llltn. Philip bad asked,
"Lord, shew us the Fathor." Our
t"'t ' ; a portion of Christ's answer.
We are told by the commentators
that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter
is also an advocate, a helper. Liter
ally translated tho Greek means:
"Oiip' who Is called to another's side
lo aid him." To our side, an ever
presTt aid through all eternity, the
llolv Spirit has been called by Christ.
'ouiforirr, advocate, teacher, helper,
guide and eternal friend, such Is the
Holy Spirit of tiie new dispeiibalion
i's granted to us by our Heavenly Fa
ther. The position of the Holy Spirit
with reference to us Is clearly shown
by the prepositions used In the
ersis. "Ami I will pray tho Father,
and lb' shall give you another Com-I'oru-r,
that He may abide with you
fnrever, even tho spirit of truth,
whom thi; world cannot receive be
cause it sevth Him not, neither know-'-ih
Him, but o know Him, for Ha
abideth by you anil shall bo In you."
With you, by you, in you. With you,
"in the fellowship of His everlast
ing presp'iice." By you, "in His per
sonal presence." In you, "Hs an abid
ing personal energy." With you, by
you, in you. in all the eternal om
nipotence, love and wisdom of the
very God Himself. The Holy Spirit
Is the presence of Almighty God and
of His Son Jesus Christ, with you, t
you, in you. The pronouns, us the
prepositions, are of prime Import
ance. He is God, with, by and it)
ma n.
The Holy Spirit who is in out
hearts to-day has been the dynamic
in tho lives of consecrated men und
women since time was. In his Jour
ney up from Ifoudage, it was tho spir
it of God that sustained .Moses. 1 1 3
is the spirit of which Isaiau wrote:
' And thine ears shall hear a word be
hind tiii'i! saying, This is tho way,
walk ye in it." And again we read in
Ezirkiel: "And I will put my spirit
within you, and cause you to walk in
My statutes, and ye shall keep My
judgments and dothimi." The spirit of
Samuel and of Jeremiah is the Spirit
of Saul of Tarsus. Tho same but, oh,
how much more full. He brings to
us not merely the wealth of asso
ciation that crowds about the na
t onal lite of the chosen people of
God. Ti us, He comes as a consum
mation and memorial of tho power,
majesty and all-embracing love of
God ami of His Sou our Saviour,
Jesus, tin' Christ.
The Holy Spirit influences and dl
toi'ts every good and great movement
that emanates from tho hc-arts and
souls of Christian men. God work
ing in His Holy Spirit fills the heart
of Henry Ward Beecher I L h an over
whelming love for the Southern
slave, and the Inspired words of that
virile Christian speed the breaking
of a million shackles. Tho auction of
the slave girl In the pulpit of I'ly
moi:tii Church was God In Ills Spirit
moving Henry Ward Beecher to de
cisive action. The Holy Spirit enters
the heart of Florence Nightingale and
soldiers on every ruddy Held know
the touch of a loving hand and the
consolation of a sympathizing heart.
The Comforter strikes hidden, inp'X
haustible springs in the fouls of D.
L. Moody, of General Crittenden, of
Jerry McAulny, and myriads of out
cast men and fallen women feel the
power of the sheltering, upbearing
arm of Almighty God. Tennyson
bents the voice of God within and to
us are given the immortal lines of
"In Mt'iuorlam" and o "Crossing tho
Bar."
The history of the presence of
the Christ in the lives of nations lies
in the work consummated by His
Holy Spirit. All the great reforms,
all the great movements that have
bettered humanity have had their in
ception in the minds of Splrlt-fllled
men. Who can say but that the hand
and the Spirit of God have been with
this land, as it was with Israel, In her
phenomenal success. To bo sure we
have made our mistakes. We are a
far cry from the Christ Ideal. Hut
did we, nationally, revere Him more,
did we but let His Holy Spirit dwell
cleepp-r and more lastingly In our na
tional heart, Ho would bless us far
le-yond our fondest expectations.
God is the God of nations. Christ
aine to take away the sins of tho
' otid. of nations, as of individuals.
The Holy Spirit, can 1111 a nation's
heart if its people will but do God's
will.
The most vital necessity in tho life
of the Christian and of the church la
the Holy Spirit as lie descends, con
stantly fn shi'iied and refreshing,
from the throne of Ciod. Having ac
cepted Christ and Ills plan for our
redemption, Hu is the first thing that,
we must gain. The apostles, men of
God and with Christ as they were,
could do naught in tho work of the
evangelization of tho world and of
liftinr. mankind to tho level of the
Car 1st life until they had received
the gift of tho Holy Ghost. For in
the first chapter of the record of the
Aits of tho Apostles we read that
"the Apostles being assembled to
gether" after tho resurrection, our
Lord "commanded them that .they
should not depart from Jerusalem,
but wait for the promise of the Fa
ther, which, saith He, ye have heard
of Me. For John truly baptized with
water, but ye shall bo baptized of tho
Holy Ghost not many days henco."
On the day of Pentecost they were
fill with one accord in one place, and
the Holy Spirit descended upon them.
You know the story. You know also
he glorious assertion: "And the sam
day there were added unto thorn
r.bout'SflO sculii, and the Lord added
to them daily Guise that were bel't.?
saved." The Holy Spirit was neces
sary to the Apostles. To us He is
Indispensable.
We complain of fho la-k of sincer
ity, of vitality, in the Church. This
a,pi Is liriiililp'd us an ago of doubt
and of disbelief. The Church stands
almost Mill. Her flags flap limply
in a hreoiia of progress that holds
srralght. out the ensigns of thu min
ions of Satan. Sin confronts us on
every hand and we make but insuf
ficient headway agulnst It. Wo regret
that the Church does not enjoy a
revival of the blessings of God upon
her. We mourn that for one soul
born into the Kingdom of God a
more than equal number are seized In
the snares of Satan. We pray for
the tipllftment of the world and we
see the world slip from vs.
Something Is wrong. Cod was with
the early Church. God is with the
missionary fn the farthest F.ast.

Christ In India. Within our midst

the unsaved appall us. Glance over
the records of the apostolic church.
Head the story of her growth. Is
there not something wrong with us'.'
What Is the matter? Let us see. It
is not that we have not the money
to prosecute our work. We have
more than at. any time slnco our be
ginning. It Is not that wo hnve not
numbers or able leaders or that
Christ has proven false. The fault
lies with us. Tho Church of Jesus
Christ is not alive to the possibilities
of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
The Church needs Christ In her
heart.
The fault lies not with God. It
lies with us. We, It Is, who have been
content with but a portion of Ills
grace when lie would have given to
us all. 'pS'e. it Is. who have been ron
fetit to drift and almost to drown,
rather than to lay hold upon the eter
nal saving power of the linlv Spirit.
Let the Church awake from her
Icthnrsy; let her unite under the ban
ner of the cross and fellow true; let
her live the life that she never wear
ies to ureai-h; let h"r allow to the
world that the Christ life '-s practical
life written large: let her approm-lnte
to herself the Holy Spirit with His
uplift toward Christ and tho Father;

A T.rni From the Butterfly.
A naturalist one day was studying
a toeoou, In which a butterfly was
Kuruggiing to be free. He heard it
beating against the sides of its little
prison, and his heart went out in pity
for the helphws creature.
Taking a tiny lancet ho cut away
the fragile wails and released the lit.

was not the beautiful creature that
he had expected to see. It lay slrug
gliag upon the table, unable to walk,
unable to Hy, a ludplcss, unlovely ob

ored wings that he had expected to
f..-o, were weak, shriveled members.
What was the maiter with this
creature that should have been so
fair? The prison gales had been
opened too toon, tbe obstacle had
been removed before the strugglor

Might into the sunshiny skies and

when the walls seem to close about
us, when we struggle and agonize to
lie free, when Thou dost not. cut away
the barriers, is It not because, in
Thine Infinite wisdom, Thou dost see
that we are weak and dost want us to
become strong? Then ut last, when
the struggle Is finished, like the but

robes ot righteousness. Christian

A Man Worth Knowing.
I should like to know, a man who
just minded his duty and troubled
himself about nothing; who did his
own work and did not Interfere with
God's. How nobly he would work
working not. for reward, but becauso
It was the will of God! How happily
he would receive his food and cloth
ing, receiving them as the gifts of
God! What peace would be his!
What, a sober gayety! How hearty
and infectious his laughter. What a
friend he would be! How sweet his
sympathy! And his mind would be
so clear ho would understand every
thing. His eye being single, his
whole body would be full of light.
No fear of his ever doing a mean
thing. Ho would lie In a ditch rather.
It is the fear of want that makes men
do mean things. George Macdouald.
What We Should Never Forget.
Let us never forget that what wo

-Topic: Tho Agony of Jesus.
I. Jesus enters the garden (Vs.
2G, 37). 3fl. "Then." This was
about midnight. "Cometh." After
they had left the tipper room where
they hud eaten the paschal supper.
"With them." There were only
eleven now; Judas was absent mak
ing arrangements for the betrayal.
"Unto a Dlnee." .fnnns Aftpntlmn
resorted to this quiet retreat with
Ills disciples (John 18:2) for re
freshment, retirement, quiet Instruc
tion and perhaps prayer. "Gethse
ninne." The name moans oil press,
an emblem of trlnl, distress, agony.
"Sit ye here." He left eight of the
disciples at tho entrance of the gar
den. "Fray." Christ frequently went
alone to pray.
3 7. "Took with Him." Farther
Into tho garden, to a spot moro re
tired. In this hour Jesus needed hu
man sympathy, even while He must
"trend the wine press alone." "Two
S'ins of 7.i bi'dee." James and John.
Tho three disciples Jesus took with
Ilim had been witnesses of His trans
figuration nnd glory, nnd were now
(o behold Ills humiliation and ngony.
"Began to be sorrowful." To be
penetrated with tho most exquisite
sorrow, and overwhelmed with deep
anguish. "Very heavy." Sore trou
bled; a stronger word than the other.
II. Tho bitter cup of sorrow (vs.
3N, 39 1. SS. "Even unto death."
It. was agony that would destroy His
life if it continued. The agony be
came so great that His rweat was
great drops of blood falling down to
me grounu. tarry ye Here. ' Spo
ken to tbe three disciples.
"A little farther." About a
stone's cast (Luke); 150 to 200 feet.
Tln're were now three divisions of
the litllo company tho eight, the
throe, and Jomis alone. "On His
face." This was the ordinary post
ure ot the supplicant when the favor
naked was great, and deep humilia
tion required. The head was put be
tween tho knees and the forehead
brought to touch the earth. "My
Father." in all our addresses to God
we should eye Him as a father as
our Father, and it Is in a special
manner helpful to do so when wo are
in an agony. "If it be possible." The
great horror of Jesus in tho garden
arose, not from fear of Calvary, but
from fear of failure, through physi
cal suffering to reach Calvary, and
so lose all for which lie left heaven
"Not as I will." If it is Thy will that
I should die here In the garden in
slead of dying on the cross, as for.
told, I submit. He was entirely re
signed to His Father's will.
III. Tho disciples asleep (vs. 4 0,
41). 40. "Cometh unto the disci
ples." He did this three times dur
ing this awful hour. He apparently
desired communion with them and
the sympathy and comfort which they
could give. "Asleep." Luke says
they were sleeping for sorrow. "Un
to Peter." Peter had just, made loud
professions. "With Me." Ho was
suffering for them, but only expected
that they would watch with Him.
"One hour." Sometimes Christ con
tinued in prayer all night, but He
only asked them to watch with Him
one hour.
41. "Watch and pray." A teslliig
time Is coming und you will need to
wateh carefully and pray earnestly.
Tho Christian is in danger of falling
a prey to the worhl. the flesh and tho
devil. "The spirit willing," etc.
They desired to watch with Him and
thus show their sympathy und love
for Him, but their bodies and minds
were weak.
IV. Jesus prevails In prayer (vs.
42-44 ). 42. "The second time."
His going tho second and third times
shows how groat was the burden aud
His intense eagerness and persever
ance. 43. "Their eyes were heavy."
It is a sad thing for the church to be
sleeping while Christ is suffering and
praying.
44. "The same .words." Not that
Jesus merely repeated the supie
words each time, but these words
were the substance of His prayer.
This prayer Is "a model (1) of ear
nestness, (2) directness, (3) perse
verance, (4) faith, (0) submission.
V. Jesus betrayed (vs. 45-50).
45. "Sleep on now." Jesus had
gained the victory. But Jesus was
on the alert and when He heard the
approaching multitude and saw the
lanterns and torches He aroused the
sleepers. 40. "Let us be going."
To meet Judas and thesoldlors. Jesus
is ready; without hesitancy He turns
Ills face toward the terrible suffer
ings of the cross. 47. "Great multi
tude." Composed of a detachment of
the Roman cohort Btatloned in the
Custle Anlonia (John 18:3, 12, "the
band"), of the Jewish temple watch
(Luke 22: 52, "the captains of the
temple"); of others, Including serv
ants and dependents of the high
priest (v. 51), and, In all probability,
some fanatical chief priests and eld
ers. "Swords." Carried by- the Ro
man soldiers. "Staves." Or clubs,
tho arms of tho temple watch and
the crowd. John adds also whnf ln.i
In the naturo of the cuse, that they
were provided with "lanterns and
torches" as well as weanons. 4 a
Kiss." Probablv th O UHlinl Qalnfa-
tlon of the disciples to their Master.
-. -jviBsea turn." A stronger
word than that used in tbe lust verse.
Tbe sign was a kiss, but thn i.rfi-n,.
ance a caressing. 60. "Friend." A
term of civility though not necessari
ilv of friendshln. Christ 'pi itii,na
and gontloness surpass even the stan
dard which Ho holds up for His dls'
clples In Matt 5:3!).

This Is something new under the
sun, comparatively the doctrine ot
forgiveness. Who can forgive sins
Is an old question. "Perhaps the
gods may," said Plato to Socrates.
"I do not know,' answered the philos-,,i,.-
nr Aiwtlii Pbelns tells us
I (hat when John Eliot, "the apostle to
' fho Indians;" first preached to the
Nipmurks, at. Notiantum, mo t nrisiian
theory of tho forgiveness of Injur
lis, a grunt of Incredulous derision
ran round the clrrlo of his hearers as
they sat before h!tn on their haunches.
"The ''moral Intuitions of Nipmuek
culture knew better than that." All
I he worhl tbroue.h all the ages has
"known bet lor than that.' If wo are
lo Juilge by the almost universal prac
tlco of tho world. It required a
revelation from heaven, and a living
example of forgiveness under most
awful clrciiniHtnnet'S, to place the
theory of tho duly of forgiveness ot
our pnem.b ti on even u debatable
platform before the minds of men.
And then it requires a revolution In
human nature to make the theory a
real fact in tho hearts and llveB ixf
men nnd women. . Dr. R. W. Dalo says
n pretty hard word In this: "Many
Chris! Ian men have given a new
turn to an old text. In their own
private 'R. V.' of th? New Testament
they read, 'Whosoever speaketh a
word, or comtnitlieth n wrong, against
God. It shall be forgiven him; but
whosoever speaketh n word, or com
mittetb u wrong, against Me. it shall
not be forgiven him.' " Tho New
Testament teaching Is clear and
positive, as our Dally Readings show,
as to the duty of forgiveness of
others; of holding no grudges; of
seeking no revenges. Christians shall
not behavo like pagans.

Christ's Life; His Sorrows, and How
He Bore Them. John 11:30-38;
Isa. 53:3-5.
The shortest verse la the Uible is
also tho longest, for It binds together
heaven and earth.
Chridt boro our griefs, He was not
overlHirno by them; Ho carried our
sorrows, He was not crushed down by
them.
One of the most purifying of
thoughts Is to recall Christ's agony la
Gelhescmane, and to remember our
latest sin, nnd to sav, "That for
this!"
Suggestions.
Chriat's sorrows on earth are only
an Illustration or Ills sorrows In heav
en over our sinfulness and rebellion.
Christ bad. one consolation in His
sorrows, the knowledge that endless
good would come from them.
Have we tho spirit of Christ? In
that measure wo shall grieve over
sin.
Consider what most men grlevo
over, as poverty, neglect, pain: and
Christ wasted no grief on such mat
ters. Illustrations.
As the sufferings and death of Mc
Klnley bound the nations together
with cords of sympathy, so, lu uu In
finitely greater deyre, did Christ's
sufferings and death.
Christ transform his fiery trials
Into His crown of eJory. just as the
interior fire of the earth He mado has
transformed black carbon Into the
Dualling diamond.
We do not feel pain when another
Is wounded, but wheu wo ourselves
are hurt So we do not really under
stand Chrliit's sufferings till we bo
come part of Ills body, tho Church.
The nearest hint We have of Christ's
sorrows for us Is a mother's agony
over her erring child.
Questions.
Am I adding to Christ's sorrows?
Have I received the cleansing of
Christ's atonement?
Do I really love my Saviour?
PRESENCE OF MIND.
The following true story is de
scriptive of an incident thut happened
in a vll!r,se Pa Suffolk, England:
A husband had gone out for the
evening und left his wire and child
1. home. -The woman was about to
retire for the night when to her
amazement she perceived the foot of
a man beneath the bed.
Instead of calling for assistance, as
some would have done, she coolly
went to the child's cot and sat and
sang till the child full asleep. Two
hours then remained before her hus
band came In. He was surprised to
find her waiting up, but when his
wif-3 handed him an envelope, saying,
"You might run and post thlB," the
cause of her waiting was revealed.
Instead of a letter the following
was written on the envelope: "A
burglar Is under our bod; run, fetch
police." The husband returned In a
few minutes with a pollcemau, and
the man was arrested. The burglar,
when brought up before the magis
trate, remarked that be bad come
ucrosB a few bruve women iu his
time, but this one must have hud a
nerve like Iron, for bIio sat there for
three solid hours. He had the im
pression that she didn't Know he wus
there till the policeman pulled hlui

Small l'.arnynrils Heft.
From an economic standpoint most
barnjards are too large. Tho loss of
fertility is far greater in a large than
a small one. This los is not so no
ticeable in nowiy settled fertile sec
tions of the country as in States cast
ot the Mississippi River, where tho
once ferlilo land has been robbed of
its organic matter. Thousands of
farmers ljse every year iu keeping
their stock in large yards during the
feeding season enough fertility to
equal in value a Ion or more ot the
most expensive fertiliser. If the yard
is large with a high, dry place at one
side, the stock will congregate there
and the richest droppings are lost by
being trampled in and mixed with
the soil, unless the surface soil is ull
hauled to the field, which It would
often pay to do. Many yards extend
to a creek or nre located on a hill
side, from which the loss is very
heavy, unless the washings extend
over a pasture or cultivated field.
The hotter plan is to make the yard
as small as possible consistent with
convenience and ulso have It protect
ed with a roof to a greit extent. The
saving of fertilizer and promotion of
the comfort of the animals will pay
a large annual Interest on the Invest
ment. The Epitomist.

Wnen the Connecticut. Legislature

was opposed by many as a useless

growers thought such acHon could
not save tho othor trees in the or

nied that the disease wus contagious
or that diseased trees were a menace
to other trees. Yet, if we may judge

results as its udvocates hoped Air.
Old peach orchards were saved and

It should encourage the planting of

Massachusetts once produced peaches
iu abundance, but this disease k.lled
many of the trees, and as runners did
not know how to save them they
failed to set any more, until there are
but few neighborhoods where even,
enough are grown by any one for
family use and uone for market. Yet

I'ncts About Turkeys.
Inbreeding will quickly Invite fail
ure. Hreedlng turkeys enn be profitably
kept up to the fifth year.
Breeders generally will not breed
from tho same gobbler more than
one year, unless tho same breeding
hens are also retained.
In tho selection of Bronze turkey
breeders, tho body should be long and
deepest at the centre, with a full
breast, broad back, strong thighs and
shanks of moderate length. In young
birds the shanks are a dead black,
but they grow lighter with age, until
they become of a pink or flesh color.
The hen turkey Is more In demand
in market than is the male.
A medium-sized carcass sells best.
Mashed potatoes mixed with corn
meal, alternated with shelled corn,
is the most general diet used for fat
tening turkeys.
When tho least indisposed the tur
key will hold Its head down between
Its shoulders and refuse food.
During Incubation a turkey can
cover from fifteen to twenty eggs,
while an ordinary hen cannot cover
more than half that number.
Eight hens to a cack Is a good
mating, und which should produce
about 200 young.
Geer says the market turkey should
be shorter In legs and neck than Is
the general case, and very full in the
breast.
A good plan, In killing turkeys, is
to tie their feet together, hand the
bird on a pole, and then cut the
throat so as to bleed freely. They
should be dry-picked, leaving head
nnd wings on. After being picked,
dip In hot water, und then In cold,
which will give the skins a fresher
look.
Some turkey raisers prefer market
ing Cue totns in the month of Decem
ber, und keep the hens until later,
so that they may increase In weight
aud command a better price.
A plump young turkey, dressing
from eight to fifteen pounds, finds a
market at almost, any season of the
year.
If in good condition when put up,
turkey hens eun bo fattened in about
three weeks' time, but cocks would
require a week or more longer.
An English writer says there are
two points to consider before choos
ing tho breed of turkey, viz., whether
tho birds are to be reared with the
purpose of making a profit with them,
or whether they are only for home
consumption. 1( the former, he se
lects tho Iironze variety. lie says
for profit It is purely a question of
obtaining birds of the heaviest possi
ble weight when they are from six
to nine months old. He further Bays
that not only does this breed produce
heavy weight, but quality ot flesh
Is also obtained. Poultrymau.
Proterted Milk Pall.
That many ot the odors and much
of tho dirt which gets Into milk is
during the process ot milking, most
of us know, hence every precaution
to overcome this should be taken.
One of the best methods of protect
ing the milk In the pall Is to arrange
a cover of tin and cheese cloth, says
the Indianapolis Scntlnol. Have a
tin cover made to go over the pall
loosely so as to allow for the space
taken by the cloth strainer. The tin
cover should bo higher in the centre

than at the sides (see small cut to
right) and a hole about tour inches
in diameter made in the front centre
through which the milk Is directed.
Then have plenty of cheese cloth cov
ers large euougll to reach five or six
inches over the side ot the pall,'
where it may be secured by a tape or
by slipping a hoop of sheet iron ot
proper size over it and pushing it'
down hard. Put on one ot these
covers, then the tin cover and you are
reudy for milking. The cheese cloth'
will prevent any filth getting to the
milk, and If these covers are washed
in boiling water and sun-dried they
muy be used a number of times. The
illustration shows the idea plainly,

pall complete with the strainer and
the larger cut showing how the cloth
is slashed at lntervuls so it will fit
