What mure glorious use can be
made of knowledge, Influence, and per
sonal strength than to turn them to
the help of the needy? If your vision
Is penetrating and clear, what nobler
service can you render then to "be
eyes" for those who may not see
afar? If your hand has strength and
cunning, to what better use may It
bo turned than lifting the burdens
of the weak and ti achlrg the unskill
ed how best to accomplish their task?
If you have wealth you have pos
session of a power for good which Is
nearly omnipotent, If rightly applied.
What more worthy aim can lead men
and women of wealth than that
through their help the poor may catch
visions of the highest and holiest llfeT
If we have the gift of prophecy, we
must use It for the Instruction of the
Ignorant, If we retain It. To hesitate
is inglorlously to fall; selfishly to
keep for ourselves what God has In
tended shall serve his children, Is to
lose life wKli all Its opportunities of
good. Hobab's knowledge and Influ
ence never were more precious to him
than when, having refused the appeal
to enrich himself, he accepted the op
portunity to assist others. As the new
dangers arose, and he helped Moses
meet them and conquer them, his own
mind and soul grew Imperiul. By the
number, magnitude, .and stress of the
responsibilities of others, he was de
veloped into his own worthiest life.
When a great Italian commander was
defeated he Issued his immortal ap
peal: "Soldiers, I am without money
and without reward. I have nothing
to offer you but cold and hunger, and
rags and hardship. Let him who
loves his country follow me." But
with 'that summons to self-denial and
patriotism he gathered to his side
the choicest snails of his generation.
The niqn.w.ho folio v. d in response to
that reppeal became courageous
heroes'; themselves. When our Lord
turned.' and said to the multitude,
"Tho Son of man hath not to where
to lay his head," and invited them to
follow him, be was calling to
men and women who had counted the
cost, and were ready to surrender
themselves to the cause of purity,
truth, and human helpfulness. The
way of life is narrow; the gate to It
Is narrow; but the narrowness of the
way and the gate are Its glory. Nar
rowness of the way demands energy,
high purpose and noble perseverance.
There Is no other way. To invite a
great soul to a broad path is to invite
him to smallness, to the cessation of
growth and Impotence. The cry has
been heard In every age, "Would Ood
it were easier to be good!" "And
would God it were easier to redeem
the earth!" Dut that Is a mistaken
cry. When the ten spies returned
from Canaan murmuring because of
the obstacles to their conquest, their
murmuring was an evidence of weak
ness of character; but the try of Ca
leb and Joshua was, "Up, let us con
quer these giants, and take their
walled cities." That was the token of
the greatness of the two.
Jesus Christ did not come primarily
to change the circumstances that
should make life easy, but to give a
new incentive and lofty inspiration
that would enable men to meet life's
circumstances as they are. lie never
promised his friends that the path of
duty should bo free from danger. In
the spirit of the Spartan mother who
charged her soldier son, "Come home
with your shield or on it," Chrltit says
to his disciples, "T&ke the field and
save humanity, cost what It may." It
is always true that the choice of the
broad path of personal eoe and com
fort. Instead of the narrow path of
duty, leads to the loss of self-respect,
the world's esteem, and true success.
Sir Henry Stanley describes bravery
as a requisite for those who push into
the African foreBt, and says: "The
bigger the work the greater the Joy of
doing it. The whole hearted striving
and wrestling with difficulty to lay
hold with a firm grip and level head,
and the calm resolution of the mon
ster, and tugging and tolling and
westllng at It today, tomorrow, and
the next, until it is done Is the sol
dier's creed of forward, ever forward;
It is a man's faith that for this task
he was born." When McKay wroto
from Uganda in Africa to the home
church, be said, "For our work at
this station we want the best men
In England; not a man who can be
easily spared, but the man who can
not be spared." Christianity from
the beginning has grown upon tasks
that were so great as to require the
consecration of all its power, "O,
pray not for easy lives, pray to be
stronger men; do not pray for power
equal to your tasks; then the doing
of your work shall be miracle, but
you shall be a miracle; every day
you shall wonder at yourself, at tha
richness of the life which has come
to you by the grace of God."
Final Aim.
Tho main reason why men aro so
quickly swept oS their feet by passion,
why gambling and lust and drink art

GERMS OF ANARCHY
Rev. C. H. Parkhurst Constructs
Main Line Through Youth.
Men Who Learn What They Choose
More Likely to Observe Only Laws
They Like, 8ays Eastern
Critic.
Chicago. American homes of the
present day are breeding anarchy be
cause of their failure to teach children
obedience.
American colleges, through their
elective curlcula, are aiding the work
begun in the borne.
And the automobile, by tempting
men Into defiant attitude, who always
before have respected the law, Is do
ing its share in creating an anarchi
cal Bpirlt in this country that is a
more difficult problem than either Ig
norance or pauperism.
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, pastor
of the Madison Square Presbyterian
church in New York, analyzes the pres
ent and coming generation's attitude
toward the law after the fashion above
in an article contributed to The Con
tinent, a Presbyterian weekly pub
lished in Chicago, as an enlargement
of The Interior.
"Tho pity is that the average home
Is not what it used to be In this mat
ter of obedience," sayc Dr. Parkhurst.
"It is a great thing to be brought up.
There Is a vast difference between
HAS PLATT'S OLD PAY CHECK
that and coming up. And If one is
not brought up before leaving home,
the chances are he never will be.
True and safe manhood is founded on
obedient boyhood."
He Is even more emphatic in bis ob
jections to existing college methods.
"The effect of much of our school and
college training," he says, "is to
foster the mlscellaneousness permitted
In the modern home. Things there are
all running In the 'optional' which is
Latin for 'do as you like.' If you do
not want to study Greek, study some
thing else anything that you do like,
end that will be the least drain on
your gray matter; or as it was stated
In the bulletin hung in one of the halls
of a New England college recently!
"Do not allow your studies to Inter
fere with your regular college course.'
"What all of that will issue in when
youth arrives at years of adult life
there Is no difficulty in foreseeing. The
young have learned to believe In the
optional method, and they will con
tinue to practice it Authority, as
such, tbey hardly respect. Laws that
are the expressed will ot the state they
transgress if they do not like them,
and are not afraid of being held up for
it forgetting that laws are made for
those that don't like them; other peo
ple don't need them. 'Law or no law,
we are going to do what we want to
do If we can do It without taking too
much risk.' That is the spirit ot the
times."
In speaking of the Iniquities of the
Automobile, Dr. Parkhurst supposes
the case of a man of character, who
Is religious and Christian, but who
owns a car.- The speed limit Is ten
miles an hour, and there is the rub.
FISH ARE! MADE VERY CHEAP
Water Shortage Dries Reservoir, and
Many Fine Specimens of Finny
Tribe Are Taken.
New Yoik. Fish were cheap ana
plentiful at Sleepy Hollow during the
recent water famine at Tarrytown
Small boys and thrifty men learned
that tbe muddle of murky water in
the bottom ot the reservoir was full
of big fish perfect whoppers and
that to prevent their dying in the res
ervoir the water would be let out into
the brook below the dam. Then there
was a rush of persons with baskets
By the middle of the totenoon there
was an amazing scene. Tbe fish had
ben let into tbe brook and the gush
of water had subsided, leaving them
in pools among the rocks. There was
fat German carp, 30 inches long; lazy
suckers nosing around the bottom,
bright-colored perch, ugly, scrappy
old black bass, that fought for the
deeper spots, and eels that took their
time in sliding from hole to hole.
Men waded Into the water bare
legged and caught the fish In their
hands, chasing them from rock to rock
and struggling with giant old eels that
must have seen Rip Van Winkle
poaching along the streams before he
went to sleep, and who might have
beard the thunder of Ichabod's horse's
hoofs on tbe bridge below when the
Headless Horseman pursued him.
Some eels were nearly four feet long.

It Is a patent fact the people ot
Chicago do not care for Moses, and
every one of the commandments is
broken every day. The Idolatry of
the daily life Is evident.
"Prosperity born of a competitive or
ganization of society breeds a regard
for material standards of life and
action. When a man thinks In terms

basis ot dollars and cents, determines

dollars and cents, sinks manhood

verse II.
Uolrlen Text "She hath done what aha
could. "-Mark 14:8.
Time Saturday. April L A D. 80, tha
Say before tha Triumphal Propeaalnrt.
I'lare Home of Simon the leper, at
Bethany, on the Mount of Ollvea.
The place of the supper was Beth
any, In the house of Simon the leper.
We have met this family twice before
this in their home. One picture of
them Is presented to us in Luke 10:
38-42. ' Here we see Martha busily
preparing the meal for Jesus' enter
tainment; a busy and anxious house
keeper. This was In tbe autumn pre
vious to the present occasion.
The second picture is presented to
us by John (II: 20 44). Since tbe first
picture their brother Lazarus had
died, and been restored by Jesus; and
although Martha is even more busy
than before, yet she is restful and
peaceful In ber work. She Is not
cumbered with her business, nor an
gry with Mary, nor casting reflections
on Jesus. She has learned something
In the day of sorrow and darkness.
She has not lost any of her power to
serve, but the manner of ber service
has been transformed. Thus the two
sisters each gained something of the
virtues of the other.
At the present feast Mary and Mar
tha were each serving in the way
natural to them. Lazarus sat at tha
table as a guest with Jesus In whose
honor the feast was given. Simon was
at the head of the table. As was cus
tomary In the Orient the villagers
were attracted to look upon tbe scene,
and see tbe distinguished guests.
It is a great blessing to have such
a home as is presented to us at Beth
any, as a living picture to be held up
before all tbe homes In the world,
especially when we add to it the scene
where Jesus takes little children in
his arms and blesses them. The star
of Bethlehem for morals and religion,
for the' millennium, stands over tbe
home where Jesus is.
There came unto him a woman. This
woman was Mary, the alBter of Mar
tha and Lazarus. Having an alabaster
box, rather, a cruse or flask. Of very
precious ointment, a liquid perfume,
more like an oil, as oil of roses, than
the thicker compositions we commonly
know as ointment. It was so strong
that it filled the whole house with its
odor. Very precious. Horace offers
to give a cask of wine for a very small
box of It Compare the attar ot roses,
made at Ghazlpoor in Hindustan, and
which requires 400,000 full-grown
roses to produce one ounce, and which
sells when pure, in the English ware
houses, as high as $100 an ounce, or
$1,200 for as much as Mary's pound
ot Spikenard.
Anointing the head of a rabbi at
such feasts was not an unusual honor;
but anointing the feet was unusual,
and expressed the tenderest, must
humble, most reverential, unutterable
affection. Mary not only anointed
Jesus, but she took "woman's chief
ornament" and devoted it to wiping
tbe travel-stained feet of her teacher.
She devoted tbe best she had to even
the least honorable service for him.
John says that "tbe house was filled
with the odor," as Indeed the church
and the world have been filled with
the odor of this loving deed.
When his disciples saw it, they had
Indignation. John tells us that Judas
Iscarlot was the leader and the
mouthpiece of the indignation against
Mary. The plausible arguments of a
positive man, wearing a mask of vir
tue, and speaking In behalf of some
of tbe very principles their Master had
enforced, had brought some of the
disciples Into mora or less sympathy
with his feeling of Indignation. It
Is easy to see how it might seem a
useless waste, as some now Imagine
that the money spent ' upon great
churches, and on foreign missions,
might better be given to the poor. ,
She hath wrought a good work upon
m. The Greek adjective Implies
something more than "good," a noble,
an honorable work. "Tbe spirit which
offers precious things, simply because
they are precious, ... is a good
and - Just feeling, and as well-pleas
ing to God and honorable to men,
as It is beyond all dispute necessary
to the production of any gTeat work In
the kind with which we are at present
concerned." "Costliness is an external
sign of love and obedience." "It is not
the church we want, but the sacrifice;
not the emotion of admiration, but
the act of adoration; not the gift, but
the giving."
Tbe act was even better than hei
thought It was her last tribute of
affection. "Jesus was at a crisis of
his life when it was of tbe utmost
value to him to know that he had won
a place In a human heart."
This story baa been told In every
known tongue, and Is now being re
lated in more than four hundred dif
ferent languages to every great nation,
on the earth. No monuments,, not
even the Pyramids, are as enduring,
Mary Is still pouring out tbe precious
nard In an endless living stream, the
fragrance thereof still Is filling human
hearts and lives all over the world
Like Abel, "being dead, she yet speak-
eth." For a memorial of her. By
which her deed shall be remembered;
not to glorify her, but to continue ber
usefulness, to give Immortality to her
character and Influence. She Is like
the fabled fountain, each drop ' of
whose water was the source of an
other similar fountain.
We are told In tba Brltannlca that
the late. Dr. Septimus Please "endeav
ored to show tbat a certain scale or
gamut existed among odors as among
sounds, taking the sharp smells to
correspond with high notes, and tbe
heavy smells with low." "He assert
ed that to properly constitute a bou
quet, tbe odors to be taken should
correspond In the gamut like the notes
of a musical cnora one false note
among tbe odors, as In music, destroy
lug tbo harmony." Bo tbe fragrance
from Mary's flask ot card fills the
world with a chorus of odors, the
many forms In which the fragrance Of
ber deed has been expressed by count-
lues numbers.
