THE PULPIT. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. DR. NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS. Theme: The Enrichment of I.lfr. Brooklyn. N. Y. For the' last time until tho fall the Rev. Dr Hawaii Dwlght mills, pastor of riymonth Church, preached Sunday morning. His subject was "The Enrichment of Life." The text was from John 9: 16: "I hve rome that yon may have life, and that you may havr it more abundantly." . The time was when scientists be lieved that life was spontaneous. It Is forty years since Huxley published his article on the Dnthybliis. The scientist held that there was n gela tinous substance In the bottom of deep sea along tbc heat line of the equator. This sheet of living matter enveloping the earth held the proto plasm that was the germ of all living things that creep or walk or fly. The union of th" earth and the deep sea water and the tropic heat brought forth the substance that mothered all life. The theory was so novel that the Challenger wns fitted out for deep sea dredging. But the expedition brought the keenest disappointment to the scientist. The Investigators found white sand at the bottom of the tropic seas, and the Dathyblus be came as mythical as the Trojan horse. Then scientists set themselves about the task of producing life by chemical means. To make sure there were no give Mfe.anil To give It more nhunrt ntly. How do you explain the Ital- I Ian Renaissance? There was a pow- 1 er In the world that made for beauty and sweetness, that descended upon the young scholar. How do yon ac count for the German Reformation? There waa a power In the universe (hat made for faith, and character, and self-surrend-r. And that power descended on Martin Luther. Whence came the Puritan Rgformatlin In England? The ernlanatlon was not In John Eliot, or Sir Harry Vane, or John Pym. There was a power In the world that made for the sense of personal worth, Inspiring each man to give an aero tint of himself to Ood, challenging him to stand upon his own feet and assert his manhood, urging the sense of brothrhood, nnd that unseen power flooded the souls of the Pilgrim Father! and the Rnn- llsh heroes, and changed the face of i the whole world. Veil may the men of every great era of outbreaking ge- 1 nlus eTrlaim: "We lift our eyes into the hills from whence eometh our help." "Our help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Let us now praise famous men of old, who have redeemed the peonle. nut let us remember that Ood clothed the knlirht with Ills shining armor, that Ood pressed that blade with the Jn ICHfllSTIfiN noil notes!

T1MK. 1056 B. C. PLACE. 3I1DM. EXPOSITION. I. The Bcath of Saul nnd Ills Sons, 1-0. With this lesson we come to the end of Saul's :areer, so promising In Us beginning, io gloomy In Its ending. It Is sadly nd solemnly Instructive, as showing how much a man may have and yet his life prove an utter failure after ill. He was a goodly young man 'there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he" (1 Sam. 9:2). His father was a 'mighty man of valor" (1 Bam. 9:1). He was humble (1 Sam. 10:22), and considerate of others (ch. 9:5). Rut we find him later In life a monster of pride, arrogance and self-will (ch. 18:7-11; 19:10; 20:80-33; 22:9-19). Here we have a lesson of how little real worth there is ln merely natural virtue and how easily it ls transformed Into devilish sin. But there was promise In the life of Saul for other reasons. God's grace was manifested to him (ch. 10:7-9), the Spirit of God came upon him (ch. 10:10; 11:6), he undertook valiant battle against the enemies of the Lord, and won a great victory (ch. 11). So we see that a man may know something of the power of the Spirit, can war to a certain extent ln tho energy of the Spirit, and win vic tories for God, and yet after all, be come an r.postate and his earthly life i . i - . on . I lUHti ill le'.e nun i .hum. i ' 23). Saul seems to have been a strik ing Illustration of such an one. His decline was step by Btep (ch. 13:8 14; cf. 14:18-20). His loss of the kingdom w-as foretold ai this first step away from God. He takes a long step further downward by positive f.lsobsdlence (ch. 15:19-23). With this false step hla rejection from the kingdom Is declared In no uncertain terms. Finally, falling to get any answer from tho Lord about the bat tle with the PhillstineB, he turns to the devil (ch. 28:6, 7), and this crowning net of apostasy leads to the nwful judgment and ruin of our les sou (1 Ch. 10:13, 14). No matter how often or how completely Israel routs the Philistines, the Philistines nro always sure to gather strength nnd renew the attack (v. 1). The Philistines had been effectually sub dued In the days of Samuel (ch. 7:13). There was a great victory under Jonathan (ch. 14). David wins a great victory (ch. 17:52), but in our lesson the liilllstlnes renc-w the war. "And the men ot Israel fled." Here we see a change from the days of Samuel and Saul s early days. Then tho enemies of the Lord fled (ch. 7:10; 11:11). There ls a return to the days of Hophnl nnd Phlnehas (ch. 4:10). The explanation is simple. Saul had disobeyed the Lord; and the Lord had forsaken Saul (ch. 18:12; 2S:15-19). However mightily the Lord might have heli jd us In times past, if we disobey Him nnd He for sake us, our power will be gone and defeat nnd shame Otrtaln, It seems very sad to think of the noble hearted Jonathan r.s Involved In the over throw of bll father. Kut parents ai vays involve their children In the consequences of thair transgressions. Th? question arises whether Jonathan for all his generous friendship for David and all hi3 faith (ch. 14:6) was faultless In the matter. He knew that his fathar was rejected and David chosen of the Lord (ch. 23:17) Ought he net to have broken with Saul and gone to David "without tho camp bearing his reproach?" Heb. 13:13). He caraa to David as Nlco demu3 to Jesus, under the cover of secrecy (ch. 23: IS). So he lost his place of service, as the secret disciple, however loyal he may be at heart, always doe3 (2 Cor. C.15-18). What an inglorious ending to what might have been a glorious life (v. 4). II. The Triumph of the Philistines, 7-lo. This Is what came of asking a visible king instead of God (ch. 12:12). It was all very joyful at first (ch. 11:11, 15), but the arm of flesh soon failed them. It will always bo thus. Those who look to man rather than GjA for help, will always end by being cursed (Jer. 17:5, C). God let them have their king that they might learn their folly by bitter experience. "They cut off bis head, and stripped off his armor, nnd they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan." From 1 Chron. 10:10 wo learn further that they "fastened hU at id ln the house of Dagon." Indignity was added to indignity. The world rejoices in noth ing so much as In the downfall of one who has been a servant of God (cf. Ju. 16:21-25). III. The Gratitude and Valor of the Men of Jain -li-gllcud, 11-18. Saul had rescued the men of Jabesu gllead from terrible suffering and shame (ch. 11:1-11), and they had not forgotten it. There ls this one bright spot ln the dark record of his death. The one act to which the Spirit of the Lord had inspired him (ch. 11:6) brought Its reward even In hla downfall, but that reward was simply honor from man. That was all he sought. That was all he got (Matt. 6:2). Rut the most touching and lasting tribute to the memory ol Saul was that of David, whom he had pursued with such relentless hate (2 Sam. 1:17-27). David baa nothing but goad to say of bis fallen foa. Topic 9ong of the Heart. IX A Life Lived With God. Ps. 91. God everywhere. Ps. 139: 1-10. God working In us. 1 Cor. U: 4-11. God dwelling in us.

Satan is the father of lies, but God's truth Is a shield against them. Few men reallzo the comfort and safety of absolute sincerity. Many that do not know God are openly prosperous and do not seem to have fallen; nor will they bo seen ns fallen till we reach the land of open vision. The child of God Is kept ln all his ways, ways secular as well as ways religious. Thoughts. One great hindrance to living with God Is subservience to the senses. If we live to the spirit, we shall live with God who Is a spirit. Live with Ood, and there Is much besides with which you will not care to live, such as show, pomp, worldly power, luxury. If we expeot to spend elernlty with God, we would surely better learn to live with Him in time. Seemingly the most Impossible thing ln Christianity Is God's living with men; Christ came to prove It possible. Illustrations. God In your house makes It at the same time the lordliest palnce and the strongest fortress. The Inmates of a house spend time together. So we with God, If He Is an Inmate of our house. Those that live together come to be like one another. So we, If we live with God. come to be like Him. It Is an old saying, "You cannot know a person till you live with him." Neither can you really know the full blessedness of God till you live with God.

The special strength of this passage for our young people may be found In the last five verses. They contain vital exhortation. The first part of the passage Is a stroke of Paul's at a foolish custom many limes populnr In religious exercises, io called, wherein the body was sub jected to severe discipline, believing that therln lay great virtue. Paul says to dlrlpline the body may be good for something; but is not very profitable. After all, the chief thing la godliness. If I can make sure ot g. dliness, the physical exercises of re ttralnl must recognize In It at once that there can be no limit set to Its power. Then appears the principle theme of the passage, ln the tremendous claims which are made for the practical ap plication of godliness when once made active and evident In the life of the Christian. And the conclusion which none can possible escape if he starts this scripture with Paul. Is, that we should meditate and give ourselves whvlly to this truth and present to the cause the profit which Is possible ln our espousal, which means not only our own salvation hut also that of them that hear ua. Matt. 24. 45-51. A very serious pass age. "Who then U a faithful and wise servant?" How that searches us! My service to those to whom 1 can come in blessing Is to spring from my appreciation of the genius of u ser vant. The warning that here runs so seriously Into the hitter Judgment at the end. ls for those who dnre to risk their duty upon the lord's delay, as though more time would Justify any thing less than sincere service every hour from a servant. Our service to God and his cause ls In no manner re lated to the length of Its privilege; but only to the fact that we are srr vants with a charge and dare not even be false or negligent thereto. ATTACKED RY AN EAGLE. Discovering an eagle's nest In the ace of the Lost Well Canyon Cliff, rthur Williams, a Rlverton (Wyom ng) rancher, got two companions to isslst him In robbing the parent bird )f her fledgelings. A rope was dropped from the top 5f the cliff and down this Williams illd a distance of 200 feet until op posite the nest. At that moment the mother eagle appearod, and without desitatlon attacked the man. Will lams struck at her with a stick he :arrled as a weapon and at the first blow it was dashed from his hand by the beating wings of the eagle. Peck ing, clawing and striking stunning blows with her wings, the eagle was beating the man when one of Will iams's companions dropped a heavy stone on her and she fell Into the canyon. Although severely lacerated and bruised, Williams nevertheless se cured the nestlings nnd then de scended to the floor of the canyon, where he attempted to capture the parent bird. As he grasped her, her -vitality returned, and she beat blai aff and soared away. Williams' companions gave bis wounds emergency attention, drawl ing the torn flesh together and plas tering It with postage stamps.

Tlie Deriding Vote How n Mother's Preyei-s nnd Confidence Bnd Theii Decisive Influence In the Making of a Mmw. There lives In a Western State n humble old lady whose Interest In politics ls confined to the single fact that her son was elected a number of yearB ago a member ot the legis lature, and has several times since been re-elected. What he has actu ally done In the legislature she does not know. She hns no doubt that he has done all that a good boy, grown to be a great, man, ought to have done or could do; and one good thing, at least, he did to Justify her confidence. When the legislature assembled In tho autumn of 1906, the son visited his mother, and chlded her good naturedly for not reading the speech es he had sent her. She had saved them all, end knew Just where they were; but she confessed that she had not been able to read them all, nor to understand very well what she had read. "Hut you're going to make a speech this year thnt I shall read, every word," she said. "Tell me which one that It, and I'll be sure to make It," said he. "It's the one on the anti-saloon bill," said she. "Oh, thnt one!" he said, somewhat confusedly. "Yea. I know It will bo a good one. My boy, you know what liquor did for our home years ago. I hnve prayed all the years thnt my son might grow up to save other boys from his father's fate. And this Is your opportunity. I know you will be true to it." "Well, mother," replied the son, "I don't know that I have much con fidence In these efforts to make men good by legislation. You can't very well do more than regulate the liquor traffic. Tho attempt to prohibit It altogether always falls. I don't know that I can make a speech in favor of that bill." Hut these arguments Ml unheed ed on her ears. She did not take thorn seriously. She thought her son joking, as wns his wont. "Oh, I know you like to tease me," she said, "but I know you'll voto for that hill .and speak for it. And I shall read every word of your speech, and I phall pray for you every day. that God will bless that speech and make It win the fight." The son had. Indeed, expected to speak on the bill, but on the other side; and he never had doubted, nor had his political friends, which way he would vote. Hut the weeks went by, nnrt the fate of the bill hung in the balance, and he kent his own counsel. It was assumed, however, that he would vote against the hill In tho end, and so his silence caused no uneasiness to the liquor men. "I know why you are waiting," wrote his mother. "You are waiting to mnke your great speech when the grept fight comes. God bless you. my boy! I am praying for you. How proud I am of you!" It was that letter that put nil doubt aside. When the lines began to tighten and a deadlock was threat ening, he first voted on an amend ment which forecasted his final ac tion. That vote brought, surprise to the friends of the liquor cause. And when the bill came up on Its third reading, he spoke. He did not see the members of the House, but he saw an old woman, reading hi? speech through spectacles that re quired frequent wiping, and It was a sneech that carried convlctlop. Thf vote was so close thnt any one of a dozen things might hnve turned the scale: hut among the stories told In the committee-rnoms, after the hill hecame a law under which sev eral hrndrcd saloons were obliged to close, ls that here related. It is the true story of the way a mother's pray ers and confidence had their decisive Influence in the making of a law. Youth's Companion. TELL ALL VOIH TROUBLES TO JEHUS.
