ff 1 i THE PULPIT. BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON DR. CURTIS LEE LAWS. Theme: Men In the Churrri. 1 Brooklyn, N. T. Dr. Curtis T.r Law, the now pastor of the Green Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday night preached n special sermon to men The service was held under th auspices of the Men's League of th Church. In the course of his addresi be laid somo very strong things Tht uhject was "Why There Are Mor Women Than Men In the Church." He took no text, hut at once vigorous ly took up his theme. He said: It Is not n fact that our churchep are not reaching n.en In our day and In our city. We are reaching men; we are renchlng men In large num bers and men fror.1 all classes of so ciety. But It Is a fact that we are not reaching men In the same proportion and to the same number as we are reaching women. This Is a tact, and 1t Is a fact to which we cannot be In nocently indifferent We must meet the situation fairly, and If the rault Is In the church we must remove It. Here are facts which no one will dispute. Fully two-thirds of the church in iml rs of our country are women and more than two-thirds ol the people in the church congregation are women. I doubt very much If wo have In Brooklyn a single church with niorr than thirty-three per cent, of men In Its membership. This Is a startling fact when we come to con alder It, and It becomes more start ling still If church membership bears Wiy relation to the question of salva tion. Few will claim that a man must be a member of some church to be aaved, but all will agree that the church Is the place for saved men, and that, genernlly speaking, saved men are In the church. Why, then. Is It, that with all our equipment and zeal, we are not able to reach men In the same proportion as we reach women? Why Is It that only a third of our membership are men, and that, relatively speaking, we have so few men la our congrega tions? Personally I love men. I re- j Jolce In their society and fellowship, ! and I do my best to Interest them In Christianity and the church, and yet, broadly speaking, we have the same ' conditions in our church that prevail I everywhere else. I come to the study ' of this question with a great deal ol personal Interest and after a great deal of thought. It Is claimed by specialists whe have studied this question that th reason why men are not attracted tc j the church in larger numbers Is that the ministry of the modern church ii Dot strong enough Intellectually tc . satisfy men of culture and education Thla Is practically the ground taken ! by a writer in a famous article pub lished in one of our magazines. After , talking with hundreds of young men the writer came to the conclusion thnt "The modern pulpit Is sluggish and stagnant," and that young men ah- ; sent themselves from church simply because the average minister Is dull and heavy and behind the times. Are the men who do not attend church brainier, more Intelligent ot j more cultured than the men who do attend church? I would like to see , the men who do not attend church placed upon the south side of one of : our streets and the men who do at- ; tend church placed upon the north side of the same street. Then I would like to drive slowly ulong the street j between these two groups that 1 might study their faee3. On which aide do you think I would find the ' brains and the culture, and the re- j flnemi-nt and the character? Again, when non-rhurcligoing men j prate about the uninteresting preach- I ers, I alwas feel that they are cast ing needless insults Into the teeth of i their mothers and daughters and , wives and sweethearts. Women read more than men, and except alioiu po litical and commercial questions they ! are better Informed than men. Not- good and beautiful. When any m:tn ' nllows any human socity to take the place of the church of God In his life, j that soeletv has become to htm a posi tive evil, and he ought at once to rec- i ognlze It ns a snare of the devil. These societies do good In their way, but In comparison with the church of . I Ood they are as a rush light to a star ( of the first magnitude, as a firefly to , I the sun in all his glory and splendor. I blame these societies for keeping j many men out of the reach of the ; I Gospel, for they try to teach men that I morals are as acceptable as rellgloii, I and many men .are giving a blind al- leglance to these human institutions j nnd at the same time believing that , they are serving Almighty Ood. Men I also have politics to Interest them, . I and during a political contest It seems ! utterly out of the question to Interest j ', the ordinary man In anything else I than a political discussion. Women nave few societies, and, thank Heaven, they have no part In pol'tles Kn are more ennmored of certain forms of overt sin than women, and the devil, through these forms of sin. is winning many men away from all the Influences of the church of Christ. Gambling and drunkenness are the sins of men, nnd while some women also fall Into these two classes of sin, they are the exception rather than the rule. In many of our American cities we have one legalized place for the sale of liquor to every fifty of our men, nnd we cannot tell, nor do the authorities seem to care, how many gambling places there are in our fair city. But all of theBe places live largely upon the patronage of men. Now. Is It strange that we have so few men comparatively In our churches? Men are far more In the clutches of overt sin than women, nnd that fact must be reckoned with when you count Up the met) In the churches. God pity the great host of men in our city who have sold them selves body and soul to the devil, and who have no care about righteousness here nor felicity hereafter. Society places a premium upon the irrellglousness, if not upon the posi tive unrlghtousness, of men by per mitting the double Htnndard ot mor als. Men do with Impunity what a woman could not do at all If she de sired to remain respectable in the es timation of her family and friends. Now, so long ns society, composed in part of Christian people, permits men to be libertines and drunkards, and does not make them smart for their sins, these same men will have but little regard tof religion. How can we expect the libertine to have any respect for religion when he is made the welcome guest In the house where, If the people lived up to their religion, he would be loathed? How can we expect sinful men to come Into the church and give up their sins, when the men and women with whom they associate d ) not dis count them In the least because of the lives that they lead? How different with women. They must be pure to be respectable; they must not fall once Into the sin in which their hus bands and brothers riot, for if they do they will be scourged out of soci ety. I tell you men and women of Brooklyn, the social order In which we live puts a premium upon the vice of men. We are responsible to the extent of our influence. I plead with the fathers and mothers to protect their daughters. Be ns willing that your son should marry a fallen woman as that your daughter should marry a fallen man. I plead with the Chris tian men before me to refuse their in timate friendship to Impure men, and under no circumstances to allow im pure men the privilege of social equal ity In your homes. Not until Chris tian men take some such stand will the men of our generation realize the enormity of social sin. ETtu CHHISTIKII EWDHWOB M0TE5 ; ftfgggif! ! Hjte HOUSE ojx HOME H MAY THIRTY-FIRST.

And wanting them as much as we do, it is nonsense to talk about not wel- 1 coming them. I have heard that in a ' certain section ot Maine there Is a church which has out in the vestibule , a nickei-in-the-siot machine, AH that B stranger has to do Is to walk In and ! drop In bis nickel and out from the machine comes a hand to grasp his In ! cordial welcome. ' We do not have I anything like that here, but we can beat that In our church, for here many a stranger gets a hearty hand grasp and goes away with his nickel in his pocket. I tell you that men are welcome In I our churches; men, irrespective of the I accident of flne clothing; men, how ever dressed and however wicked; i they are all welcome In nine-tenths of the churches; and what Is more, they know quite well they will not j only be welcome, but that we are ; praying that they may come Let ui j glanc" now at some of the real rea- 1 sons why men do not come to our ebttrChM and Into our churches, as I their sisters do. Men are driven so hard by the work ; of the week that when Sunday comes ! many of them are In a state of col- j lapse mentally, and so they spend the time lu bed, or else they betake them- 1 selves to the parks or to the country ' for recuperation. I know many men who are commit ting a slow suicide by the work which ' thev are attempting to do, and I know I that when Sunday comes they snatch a little rest as their only safety. I feel that In some way they must get out from under the burden which they are bearing, some by choice and more by necessity or else while taking care of this life they will by sheer" neglect lose the life which Is to come. ' Now, women, on the other hand, have 1 their work for the most part In the bouse, and tbey welcome the Sabbath day and the church services as a kind of mild entertainment and pleasant diversion. There they see their friends nnd have a pleasant word, but the men hare been seeing their friends all the week, and now they want simply rest. Men have many things in their lives which furnish them with social life, and with a little balm for tbelr aore consciences Tens of thousands of men belong to clubs and societies and lodges. Here tbey spend tbelr leisure time and spare money, and many of them will single out the charitable features of these organiza tions, and will say that their lodge Is their church, inculcating all tbat Is good afterwards. J. 11. Newniau To Live W'v .Mut Grow. Are there not some of us who have been trying a good while to get back an old experleuee? If we succeeded we should only be where we were, and If we are only going to get where we were we have abandoned the law of progress and begun the downward retrogression. Ood has Himself withered, by His own consuming breath, the flower and fragrance of your former joys, that He may lead you Into something bet ter.

EXPOSITION, I. Peter and John j InveMlgatlng, 1-10. All the apparent contradictions In the Oospel narra tives would disappear If we knew nil the farts In the case. It was dark In more senses than one as Mary hurried toward that tomb In which she fancied 1 her Lord lay, but the sun was soon to rise nnd bring to her the brightness and toy of an endless day. As soon ns Mary Baw the stone rolled away ha Jumped at the conclusion that i the tomb had been rifled. It never j occurred to her that her Lord hnd risen and that God had rolled away . the stonn for her to enter the empty tomb nnd hear about her risen Lord. Thus we often in our Ignorance and j unbelief put n dark construction upon fact! thnt are really fraught with the gladdest meaning. Mnry was looking for a dead Lord and she will shortly find n risen one. Eagerly did Peter nnd John run to the tomb that was reported robbed. John, being the younger, renched the tomb flrBt, but In gentle reverence does not enter, but stooped to look In. Peter, true to his Impetuous disposition, rushes right In. He sees the linen clothes lying nnd the napkin that had been about Jesus' head carefully rolled to gether In n plnce by Itself. This is an apparently Insignificant detail, but Is one In which there Is deep signifi cance. It Is not merely a proof that the tomb had not been rifled, leaving disorder behind. It shows us thnt Jesus In thnt supreme moment of Ills life displayed that same divine seren ity nnd calmness that marked His whole enreer, nnd Instead of excitedly snatching the napkin from His face nnd burling It wherever It might fall, quietly took it off and In an orderly way rolled It up nnd laid It down In Its place. Some would have us be lieve that this story Is not fact but fiction. Where is the master-artist that was capable of this minute but sublime touch of life, and not merely human life, but divine life? When John entered and saw "ho believed." It was ignorance of Scripture that 'nnd kept them from believing up to that point (v. 9). They were respon sible for not understanding and be lieving before (Luke 24:2:.. 20 ). If. Mary Weeping, 11-1.". It was love kept Mary lingering at the sep ulchre, It was unbelief that kept her weeping, Again and again had Jesus told Ills disciples that He was to be crucified, burled, nnd tbat He should arise again the third day. But this was so contrary to their Ideas that they coHld not understand It, and it found no lodgment in their minds. His enemies remembered It (Matt. 27: fill), but His friends did not. No wonder Jesus rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart ( Mark 16:14; Luke 24:25, 26). Mary looks Into the tomb to see If after all there Is not some mistake about It, half hoping to see the body of i.er cruci fied Saviour lying there. She sees two angels, but she has no eyes for nngels, It- Is her Lord Himself she wants. Half In wonder and alto gether in protest the angels exclaim, "Woman, why weepest thou?" Mary's answer Is very touching, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have iald lllm." Her faith was badly shattered, and yet she still speaks of Jesus as "my Lord." He was a dead Lord, but she will go to Him. And right at her back was the living Lord who had come to her. The darkest hour Mary ever knew will soon give way to the gladdest. Now Mary turns and looks .quite steadfastly at Him, yet does not recognize Him. How clear It is that we are reading nn actual description of facts, nnd no skillfully constructed fiction. No one manufacturing a tale of the resurrection would ever have made It up in this way. This Is life, not fancy. Jesus repeats the question of the nngels and adds another, "Whom seekest thou?" Mary's an swer to Jesus' question has in It an exquisite touch of life nnd love: "Sir, It Thou has borne Him htnee, tell me where Thou has laid Him, and I will take Him away." III. Mary Worshiping mid Wit nessing. The way Mary came at last to recognize her Lord Is also deeply significant. Hu said just one word, "Mary." There Is a swift turn and u glad scream, "Rabbonl," and she Is at His feet, seeking to hold them fast. But Jesus does not suffer her to hold Him fast. There aro other sad hearts and Mary roust leave Him and hurry to them. "Not of Me lay hold but go." So there are times when we He at Jesus' feet and rapturously em brace them; but Jesus bids us rather rise and go tell others the glad truth that has been made known to us. j Jesus is not ashamed even nfter His ' resurrection to call this weak band of I disciples, so slow of faltb, "My brethren" (cf. Matt. 28:10). He Is our Brother still. Jesus speaks of God the Father not only as "My Father," but also as "My Ood." Noth ing could bring out more clearly and decisively the true humanity of the risen Christ. Home Missions: Alaska for Christ. Isa. 60: 11-22. Cod's call to missions. Acts 11: I- 3.

"The nation that will not serve Thee will perish;" every fallen na tion has been an Illustration of this. The mineral wealth of Alaska was unsuspected when It was purchnsed; all Ood's gifts are better than we think. Alaska has long days and long Dlghis, but her real day may be eter nal. It Is easily possible that Alaska will become one of the most thickly peopled portions of our country: the more need Is there that the church should he promptly on the field. Alaska Mission Notes. Alaska Is as large ns all the United States east of the Mississippi and north of Georgia and the Cnrollnas. Its coast line is just equal to the cir CUmferenQe f the globe. It Is enor mously rich in minerals, lumber, fishes and furs. The region was bought by the Un ited States from Russln, through Hon. William If. Seward, secretary of state, on March 30, 1867, for $7,200. 000. It was called "Seward's Folly." The country was first reached by missionaries of the Russian-Greek church, which still has a hold among tho natives. They came in 1793. The first Protestant mission was not established till 1877, when Dr. Bheldon Jackson, planted the first Prosbyterlan mission at Fort Wrang le. The first missionary was the heroic woman, Mrs. A. R. McFarland, who for seven months nfter Dr. Jackson returned was the only white teacher In Alaska. She hnd no books or school house, and was surrounded by Ignorant, superstitious, and unciviliz ed Indians. WORTH LEAGUE LESSONS SUNDAY, MAY 31. The City for Christ (Matt. 21. 10; Zech. 8. 1-8.) There are three things to be snld concerning the modern Americnn city. The first Is, that It has very largely forgotten God. And there are many reasons for this forgetful ness. The rush of city life weakens the hold of religion on the individual. The city dweller Is so often urged on by the hurry and strnln of bus iness that he Is la a condition of per petual exhaustion. The physical and menial strain of city life Is Intense. Men think that have not time to think of Ood, nlthough If they only knew It, such thought would relieve the strain and ease the burden. The city is full of allurements to pleasure, whose Invitations are more enticing and less easily resisted than In the country. Many a young man lowers his standard concerning plenstire seeking when he comes to town. The city Is a place In which It Is easy to forget people, and when you forget people you cannot well remember Ood; for be who Is not thoughtful concerning those whom he can see will hardly be thoughtful concerning Him who Is invisible. The city In sists on ministering to the physical life, while the provisions for the spir itual aro much less marked or com plete; but If you forget your soul, you will forget Him who gave It. City politics, so often called the one fail ure of Democracy, Is very largeTy godless. So In many things the city Is a place that does not know Ood The second thing to be said Is that every Christian who has anything to do with the city must feel himself bound to remind it of Ood. His bus iness Is to declare Ood in the places which do not know him. Every city has already a great company of Chris tians; but not all of them have suoh Intensity of personal religious life as fits them to serve God fully In tha city. JM liOUSE ojx HOME I Delectable Gumbo Recipes. Oumbo Is the Southern name for okra and nlso a soup into which this plant enters largely as an Ingredient. It Is an annual plant with green pods about the size of small butternuts, of a pale green color and with a very mucilaginous texture, which Improves and gives consistency to soups nnd stews, besides flavoring compounded dishes of various descriptions. A great mnny of these pods are now shipped North In the early fall, packed In two and three quart splint trays. They attract much attention, as Northerners are not, as a rule, fa- I miliar with them. At this season you I can buy the ennaed okra either put ' up alone or with tomatoes Last year the Department of Agri ' culture IsBued a carefully prepared bulletin on the plant's culture, with I reference to Its serviceability In most I parts of the world The bulletin, says i the Washington Star, also gave the j following recipes for the popular Southern gumbo: ! Southern Gumbo. I Cut a two or three pound chicken Into small pieces. Chop fine one me- dlum sized onion nnd n half pod of red pepper without the seeds.

Petroleum in Australia. The discovery of petroleum In the Doouah district of Queensland, Aus tralia, is reported in the Queensland er. It Is asserted that crude petro leum, a heavy black oil, has been found In a well 100 feet In depth and within two miles of the town. Ou a farm five miles from Boouah bores are said to show a volatile oil, prob ably kerosene, at a depth of 130 feet. There are said to be other indications of oil In several parts of the district, notably Harrlsvtlle. While "payable oil" Is yet to be found, Indications art said to be that the field will be pro ductive when operations on a large scale are begun. It Is expected that If "payable oil" exists It will be found at depths varying from 500 to 750 feet. Prevailing rocks are sandstone, limestone and conglomerate, witb bolts of Ironstone. This Is said to be the same class of country usually as sociated witb the petroleum fields In the United Btates. Consular Report. Milk and Butter in Jnpan. There was a time when milk was regarded In Japan with the same ab horrence as cheese Is In China, es pecially the pungent and strong smelling variety. Recent statistics, however, according to Consul Wll- ; bur T. Oracey, show that time has j worked a great change In this respect and milk and butter are now in great : favor in Japan. Whereas twenty-five ' yearB ago not more than ono or two 1 per cent, of the persons visiting a European restaurant, or eating a European meal at a friend's house, ! would have thought of touching but- I ter, fully forty or fifty per cent, now eat It with a relish. They nre, how- ever, quite content to do without. As to dairy farms, they have In creased notably In recent years. But ter, however, Is a byproduct at these places.

But to-day mnny ; a household consumes o'ne or two bottles of milk dally, partly because doctors have recommended If ns a unique and wholesome beverage. "Milk halls," too, are now quite num erous.

The reason why women dislike the "man's woman" Is not, says a woman of the world, because they are Jealous of her, but simply because she Is a fool. There Is no one so unpopular In feminine society, it seems, as a fool. "A clever woman bent on so cial success," says the woman of the world, "knows enough to Ingratiate herself with other women, especially the married ones. She knows that no amount of male admiration will serve her unless backed up with feralnin" approval." New York Tribune. Women Who Avoid Work. When 500 young and good looking women recently answered a photo grapher's advertisement for models, somebody croaked, "Dear mn! What shall we do with our girls?" Miss So phonisba P. Breckenrldge, assistant dean of women at the University of Chicago, contends that girls who aro tired of trying to earn their own Hv lng should not look upon matrimony as a path of ease. "Women of tie leisure class." she said to the South End Woman's Club, of Chicago, "are setting a terrible eiample for the girls of the working class, because they foster the Idea that work Is of Itself an evil thing, and they are re sponsible nlso for the harmful notion which prevails among the working girls that after marriage a life of Idleness may be led." The speaV'r added that to eradicate this Ideu the working girl should be trained to re alize that nfter marriage her dtttlei and responsibilities were even grealer than before.

The girl with a grievance Is one of the undodgeable evils of present day business methods, because as more girls find employment In business cir cles more grievances must exist. I am not referring now to the girl In factory or shop who belongs to a union nnd formulates her grievances Into a protest which eventually leads to a strike. She can deal with It In a business like fashion, and generally she It fighting for n principle and the rights of others ns wel as herself. The regulation girl with a griev ance has not enough Ideas to to. mu lnte Into n document. Her grievance Is always personal and selfish. She knows neither the rights of her employers, her fellow workers nor her3elf. She Is born simply with a chip on her shoulder; not a Jaunty, defiant chip, but the muddy looking, colorless article that no one considers i worth knocking off. The world always has its linnd raised against the girl with the griev ance. that is, from her point of view She Is never wrong, but tho oartt I and all who inhabit it are leagued against her.
