In human form, of what (iod Is like, and what Ha would have us become. This Is what we mean by modernism. That the Ufa of a church depends not upon Its creed, but upon Its spirit. Therefore we do not Insist that any one els' Khali accept our creed In the exact terms In which we Interpret it. It Is Impossible for a thinking man not to have a creed of some sort. But as Congregatlonallsts we agree to differ upon all matters that ire dem unessential. We believe that the example of the life o Jesus as we have It In the four gospels Is Sufficient to make any man who will try It such a man as Ood would ac cept as His eternal friend. and help toward perfection of character. Therefore we ask of a man who wlsheB to join our church, not what does he think concerning the lead ing religious doctrines of his day. but does he believe In following Jesus a3 ths Master of men and Is he honest Ir trying to do so? His creed only Interests us as the Intellectual ex pressions of his moral and religious Character. He depends for his au thority In religion exactly as we do, upon direct communication with God's sj irlt. So, In this Intellectual attitude toward religion, we do not leery or unkindly criticise those Dther religious bodies whose adher ents differ very widely from our Tlew. We believe firmly nnd grate fully that Greek and Koman Catholi cism, all forms of Protestantism, Unitarian and Trinitarian, as well as Judaism, have each contrib uted much to the world's religious life, and that even the faiths of the Orient, both ancient and modern, have been a part of God's growing revelation to the world. The social message of Chrlstiarity has long been misunderstood or ne glected. Now It is being proclaimed everywhere, and no live church can escape Its appeal. In the church we are to build, and the work we seek to do, we must recognize Its place. I have spent tea rears amid social iproblems. s.x years in the Hell's Kitchen section of .Manhattan Island. I believe that my experience has . equipped me In some humble way to preach the gospel of Jsus, and build up a church that shall represent the life of God in the souls of men. I do not need to proclaim myself a Socialist of any brand, nor to Join some new iBrn, In order to love my : fellow men and seriv them. To me the biggest opportunity in life is j to be a Christian a Christ's man, to i serve men. What kind of a church, 1 then, do I hope to see Lullt and far what work? Christianity and Socialism alike seek the development of an efficient , society, a social order nf stable equilibrium, nut Chrlstlinity In- ; slsta that there can be no perfected society, except by the regeneration of each individual. It is out enough to provide a perfect environment of justice and live b)- the riost beauti- , ful socialistic legislation; there must be a moral power In tarh person, causing him to fit In to such a per fect society! Such a Moral power can never bo produced by perfect economic nnd social legislation, but by the making of a new moral man in each individual by some Divine power outside himself. Such a power has not been fxind outside Jesus Christ, howevn Ho Is to be I interpreted.

Millions of our fellow men go through life un conscious of this priceless posses sion, which. If they once realized its existence and value, they would give at: ele to be able to enjoy and pos sess. Millions more In Protestant Christendom come, to years of ma turity utterly Ignorant of the real vulue and moral vitality of this great book of Ood. and though nominally accepting Its contents at their pre sumed face value, placo no actual reliance upon It as a source of life. This is partly due to an unreal meth od of Interpretation, partly to an unreal theological authority, and partly due to Its exclusion frcm our public system of education as a literature for literary analysis and examination and as a great treasure house of moral Information capable of being memorised without re course to sectarian explanation or ecclesiastical Influence of sinister de- ! sign.

Let every religious organization stand or fall, live or die. according as It ex fall, live or die. according as It gives It a rltht to live In a free at mosphere which is guaranteed as a necessity of life. How then is Bible study to be pursued? By -quipping every church as a thorough Bible school with every modern facility known to pedagogy, philosophy, psychology and religious adminis tration. The churches of the future cen turies will only live as they are worthy to live with the advancing sciences of government, Industry and education. We are to do the work of build ing up men In Christian character. Not morel v moral men, or educated men, or civilized men, hut men re deemed and reconstructed In charac ter by the power cf a Person whom we love and worship as the Christ of God. nnd apart from whom we do not believe this spiritual life of re generation Is possible. Tils work demands that each member of the Christian church shall do his share. It demands that we shall live and work for the com munity all the time. Not for our selves the community and the community Father will care for us. Some souls need worship, some need social life, some need good books, j some need physical culture, as the starting point of a nVw intellectual life or spiritual passion. The Chris tian church can sanctify all these modes of renewing men's life. It must be a working institution. Open at all reasonable hours, for all ra tional purposes that aid In religious development. It must be the great spiritual centre from which radiates the religious strength of the homes that stand around It and to which omes the spiritual response that mul tiplies and maintains Its power and resources. Reconciled. A young husband and wife were walking. one summer evening, through a country churchyard, and they were nttracted by two little graves, side by Bide, on which were laid wreaths and crosses of fresh flowers. . The date of the little ones' death was seen by the headstone, some years back. The names were those of two children, only two and three years old, and underneath were the words, "Thy will be done." "How dreadfully sad!" said the young husband. "If our baby were to die I could never say that." said the young wife, pointing to the text. "Let us hope you will not be tried." said the young husband. But when they returned home tnat night they found the baby ailing, and before very long, a little grave such a little grave! had to be dug for It, too. For a time the poor mother's heart rebelled terribly. She mourned as one who had no hope, and on the tombstone of her little one she had inscribed the words: "I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved." Later on, through years of trial and suffering, God led her to a better mind, and when, a woman old In sor row and years, she visited the grave where her child and husband were both lying, she resolved to have that uiur- Subject : Friendship of Rnvld nnd Jon athan, I Sam. 20 Golden Text, I'rov. 17:1 7 Commit Verse 12 Head 1 Sam.

The worldly Interests of the two were opposed (v. 31). Jonathan was heir-apparent to the throne, but David was the divinely chosen king, yet each quite lost sight of selilsh am bition In his love for the other. Jon athan loved David as his own bouI (v. 17; ch. 18:3) and at the peril of his own life protected him from the anger of Saul ( vs 32, 33). In doing this he voluntarily renounced his own aspirations to the throne. David on his part bitterly lamented the death of Jonathan, though that death clears his own way to the throne (2 Sam. 1:17-27). David had been perfectly safe In Nnloth. Saul had sent three companies to take him, but the Spirit of God had come upon them and hindered them from carrying out Saul's awful designs. Then Saul him self had been humbled (ch. 1!:20 24). There seems to have been little need for David's fleeing from such a place of security as that (v. 1; cf. Pa. 91:1). Jonathan. It Is true, was a j true and mighty friend, hut it was 1 better to lean upon the arm of God I than upon any arm of flesh. .lona j than 64 venanted to find out for David Just what his father's attitude toward him might be. He was to tell him I the exact, facts, whether they were f.ood or evil. How often we see moral or spiritual peril confronting those to whom we profess to be friends and yet do not warn them. Jonathan had been very confident at first that his father plotted r.o evil (v. 2), but David had shown him that he might be mistaken. Evidently his (o ifidence In his father was not very deep. It is an appalling thing when n father's character is such that even his own son, a son of so trustful n nature as Jonathan, is forced to dis trust him. Jonathan soon discovered how deep his father's hatred of David was (v. 30). Saul, In his wrath at Jonathan because of his friendship to David, Insults Jonathan's mother. He no. longer regards Jonathan as his own son (v. 30). His wrath at David will be satisfied with nothing short of David's death. At any cost David must die. Jonathan sought to arouse his father to the baselessness of his wrath at David (v. 32). This only Intensifies Saul's anger. He will even murder his own sou who seeks to de fend the one he so intensely hates ( v. 33). There had oeen a time when Jehovah had been with Saul (v. 13). But He was with him no longer (cf. ch. 18:12). The change In Saul's experience was apparent to all who knew him at all intimately. So DUMA Of the Bible record of Saul's history is taken up with the dark picture of his last days, the days of his disobedi ence and apostacy, that we forget there was a better time In his hl3tory when God was with him (ch. 10:7), Whan the Spirit of God was upon him (ch. 11:6), when he went out to do battle for Jehovah, whn he was humble, brave, generous, large-heui t ed nnd obedient to God. It Is this bright beginning of his public life that makes the dark ending so un- 1 speakably sad. This awful change all 1 came because he rejected the Word of the Lord (ch. 15:23). The saddest I men on earth are those who ure I forced to say, "I ones knew what It i meant to have the Lord with me, j but Ho Is not with mo now." There I are many of whom this is true.

Transformation Is the word which best expresses the meaning of this theme. The sinner Is transformed both in relation and nature. Without this no sinner can be saved. For until faith In Christ brings salvation the sinner Is under condemnation of the law he has brok en and lives in estrangement from the Father whose disobedient child he Is. He must be made right In these rela tions. Moreover, sin ha3 not only brought condemnation and estrange ment, but nvoral defilement also. Sin has engendered corruption in the very nature of man. This nature must be made new. This Is why Christ said to Nlcodemus, "Ye must be born again." Whatever rights man's relationship to God rights his relationship to God's law The demands of God's law can not be other than the demands of hl-3 holy nature. The law is not some thing external to God and having dominion over him. All the demands of this holy nature as It comes Into contact with sin are met In the death of Christ. His death makes the sin ner's pardon possible. Faith in Christ makes that pardon actual. How this Is accomplished by the death of our Lord Is a profound theological question over which some of the greatest minds of the church have la bored. Meantime faith brings the anger and grief were not so much for experience and the experience is of n.xrina ., -... .!r..-..,l ....I ( n , . , . ,, IIUl III ' . l.Il.Vll unci .III'.

Our supreme work, however, Is i the culture of the 10 III. Few of us can define what we mean by the soul. But all of us understand what Is meant by the culture of the sou!. The phrase appeals to mo more and more powerfully as I grow older. The development and enrichment of the highest powers within us so that we feel our personality ennobled by the kindling of sacred fires and the Consciousness of divine passions over which we kuow this transitory world has no ultimate dominion. The cul ture of the soul Involves for me three elements: worship, education and work What is worrhip? It Is devotion, instruction, evangelism. In devo tion man's soul expresses his grati tude to God for life and Its hopes, his contrition for conscious sin, and his prayer for strength to endure the discipline of his spiritual education, and to achieve his final spiritual vic tory over the lower and sinful self. By Instruction man seeks to acquire In orderly possession by sure knowl edge, those doctrines of faith which describe in his own language, the ex periences through which he has passed, or those which he hopes to possess and believeB to be a part of his eternal Inheritance from bla Father, God. Next to the Importance of the auditorium for worship, which Is our most Important room, we must build a church equipped for religious edu cation. The preacher's sermons should do this In part, and do It systematically, else he is a poorly trained preacher, though sometimes ha may be a great preacher In spite of his poor training and not. because of It. But the church Is more than 1 pulpit for preaching. It Is and always ought to be a great school for religious education. And this moans chiefly a great school for Bible study. Men who do not con faas Jesus as Christ, or seek to fol low Him as Lord, admit that tba world has no other literature cora parable to the Hebrew Scriptures of the Old Testament and the Chris tian writings of the New Testament. These writings, a library of sixty alt books, commonly called by ui the Bible, constitute a marvelous book of life, vilth every variety of human experience, written In every type of literary presentation, and possessed sll through by a marvelous moral power, a spiritual Illumina tion and a grip on man's moral being which make this Bible something In man's Ufa which he cannot avoid without moral loss, and cannot read uou.t. spiritual roprpQi- afld. ji- beneath again, the text which once she thought she could not say, "Thy will be done."

He learns that It Is the hulls of buckwheat the chaff of old wheat; and he says: "What are you sowing chaff for?" "Why," the man replies, "I have the Impression that if a man Is only faithful nnd sincere. It makes no difference what he sows." Does It not make a difference? Suppose a man should sow couch grass, thinking he was going to get timothy hay; would he? Suppose a man should set out crab-apple-trees In his orchard, and think he was 1 going to get fall pippins; would he? Suppose a man should sow that most i detestable of all detestable awds, the 1 Canadian thistle, and say it was I wheat; would any amount of botani cal sincerity on the part of this fool secure to him a harvest of anything better than the seed sown?

II. The Parting of David and Jon at hull, vs. M-4S. It would not do for anyone to see Jonathan with David, for that would Imperil his own life; so they had arranged a very simple plan so that Jonathan could let David know whether It was safe for him to come out of hiding and at the same time not let anvone else know there had been any communlcatioudietwe.'n David and Jonathan (vs. 18-21). I Whatever the perils might be, they mast meet at least once more. David did not for a moment distrust Jona- 1 than's fidelity. Jonathan might have good reason to play him false, but he greater importance than the theologlc nl basis of It. An Important element of that exper ience Is the sense of sonshlp which It gives. The sinner saved by grace knows himself a child of God. He la on good terms with God. His sins are forgiven, and a deep and wonder ful peace fills his whole soul. (Rom 0. 1.) The Added Years. Death is sometimes most kind when 1 Its sad work Is most swiftly done. The heart finds fortltudo to meet a sudden sorrow when It cannot bear the long and anxious watting, and the hoping against hope. The constant shadow of approaching disaster la more terrible than the darkness It self, So thought the household of Mr. and Mrs. Kendall when they looked forward to the long period of waiting and the Inevitable end. Into their home they had takon the wife's mother. She hnd been long with them through the years of her widowhood, not as an outsider, tolerated for relationship sake, but as a loved and welcome member of the family. Her presence, far from lessening the Joys of the home, add ed to them, although with the Joys came burdens. They were gladly borne, but family cares increased and the .duties filled the dayB, and then came the long and lingering sorrow. It wns an apoplectic stroke, and it seemed to be fatal. But the old tody lingered for weeks, then slowly began to Improve. Her recovery Beemed Impossible, yet In the course of three months of dally care she , was able to be dressed and to sit In a chair. It seemed certain, however, that she could never be well again, and the end was Inevitable. I It was not the daily burden that ! seemed so hard, but the long look j forward. To hnve her there, whole in mind, had been the dearest pleas j ure on earth, but to have her there 1 not herself mentally, for months and I months appeared too great a load to 1 be carried. There were weary days I when It seemed Impossible to bear ! under the heavy weight of the labor ; and the solicitude. It Is all past now, and this Is the I time to record the results of the five years that followed. They were years of unstinted kindness. Hus- band and wife and children did their I full duty to the aged mother and granamotner. i'attence, 01 course, was tried, but it did not fall; and i patience had Its perfect work. But this Is not the whole of the I story; patience had also Its reward, i The dear old lady's mind came back, almost as It had been before. There j was Borne lack of co-ordination and ; some confusion of speech, hut for the ' most part her mind was clear. The joy of living returned to her; and I she sat in her wheeled chair, and the i world which Bhe could no longer visit I came to her. and she enjoyed It. The I seasons passed In glad procession he ! fore her window. Friends came and j went, and brought the tidings of other friends near and far, and she ! entered with eager Interest Into the Joy and sympathy of It nil and lived a life that was full, happy and com plete, to her, at least far more tran quil than any other of the years she i had known. Then she died. Peacefully and painlessly the life went out, and the I look of satisfaction was there In death. And those who had looked ; forward with shrinking from the long J and heavy burden thanked God for i those added years. If to some other home with a like j burden the printing of this simple Btory can bring like patience and I fidelity, and at the end like memo , rles and thankfulness, It will be well t worth the telling here.

It Is tntereatlng to no.e the adroit tactlca to which the men who, to a large extent, control the liquor In tereats In certain 8tatea, are com pelled to reaort In the f utile hope of checking the great temperance ti dal wave. Seeing how deadly to the drink traffic the publication of eco nomic statistics has proved, the brew ers, borrowing a leaf Xrom the tem perance advocates' book, are cow publishing atatlatlca of their own. That these are manufactured "to order" need hardly be explained, but what Is not so easy to understand Is how any one could accept them ser iously. It Is not a difficult matter to man gle even official statistics so as to make them prove almost anything, no matter how preposterous. Con cerning this mangling procesa, we may have something to say later. Meanwhile, our esteemed contempo rary, the New York Sun, gives both sides to the controversy a more Im mediate subject for consideration. A correspondent of that exceedingly live Journal "lifts the lid" on some of the secrets of the brewing houses, and the disclosures are of a character that may well make even the steady drinker ask himself whether the brewers' and dlatlllera' claim of "pure liquor" la not a hollow sham and a pitiful delusion. He quotes from a leading publication of the brewing trade: In the advertising pages I find as follows: An entire page devoted to the merits of "Patent Brewing Ma terials," which by their virtue are supposed to keep beer without the use of Ice. Another page headed, "Better Beer With Less Malt," and advocating the use of sugnr rather than malt or rice. On another page the advertisement of an Individual who offers for sale "Pure Beer Ex tract Coloring" and "Porterlne." On still another page Is the advertise ment of a system of fermentation, by which It Is claimed that "perfect draft beer can be produced In from fourteen to twenty-eight days." and "perfect export and bottle beer In from twenty-one to thlrty-flve days from day of brewing." I also find the advertisement of "beer color, salicylic acid, preserving cakes, pure malt color, aromatic dextrin malt" all these things being made by one firm. Also "the best preservative for ale and lager beer." Also the advertisement of "maltold, flake malt, grltB and brewer's meal." Alao "Isinglass, guaranteed free from starch." This analysis of embalmed or pre served beer and chemicalized liquors cannot be a very agreeable subject of contemplation for those misguided mortals who Indulge the hallucina tion that these beverages are pure. Yet we see the brewers and distillers widely advertising their "purity and healthfulness; " whereas, as their own trade Journals show, they are for the most part as vile and Inju rious as could well be imagined.

Careful observance of these direc tions will insure against babies con tracting diseases from impure milk. New York American. Dark Secret of a Brewery.

Does she know that, In spite of the original outlay of money necessary to provide herself with a large stock of linen, the possession of a great many plecea ia in reality the most economical meth od? For instance, one woman found that by uBlng one set of tablecloths and napkins for six months and then putting It away for a year's rest, dur ing which time she levied on her ex tra aupplles, her napery could be made to last almost twice aa long aa did that of other women. In the same way this woman was In the habit of letting two weeks elapse before she used each sheet again.

If moderate drinking led to more moderation, and that to total absti nence, It would not be dangerou8. The trouble la that it Ieada to more drinking and intemperance. Fifty years ago, in France,- the people drank freely of light wines, uaing little strong drink. But tho French people have learned a sad lesson. The wlnea created a thlrat for intoxicants, and now strong drink haa a firm hold on that people. Light wines are no longer satisfactory; distilled liquor and drunkenness are the common thing. The average conaumptlon of alcohol ia thirty-three pints a year to each inhabitant, twice aa much aa In any other country in Europe except Switzerland; eight tlmea aa much aa In Canada. It la a sad commen tary on moderate drinking, but a very suggestive one. Herald and Presbyter. Saving One Generation of Boys.
