go Iff THE SIZE OF THE WORLD - i By Rev. William Spiegel ol the Old Firtl Cnurch, Ciocmnili. oca l.iui the mnnii anneari to differ ent people to be of various sizes, from that of a dime to that of a wanlinib, even physical qualities and quantities of this world and the other material worlds of the universe vary In their apparent dimensions with the vary ing rapacities of pi.y iul. mental and I in: ginatlve eyeHlght. A given Individual's world and all there therein la will always vary In ac cordance with that Individual' sublet" live proportions. In a very real and deep sense every one builds his own world. Rome build It exceedingly small and others, with a better gmsp of the meaning of life build It big. And 1 would that we might all have that brond conception which not enly means a big world for us. but the doing of big things In It by ourselves. We all dellfcht In the matter minds that are doing the big things In the material world, and they are truly-great; but greater than thane wntideKful feats of engineering skill which can tunnel the Hudson or dam the Ohio are thoite other deeds by mas ter minds whe Jby this world Is made the better the more nearly perfect. It Is this aspect of Increasing the size of our world, the moral and spir itual, to which I would draw attention Obviously, then-, our world varies In size according to our knowledge. Any thing that lies outside of our knowl edge Is evidently no part of our con scious world. We have widened the boundaries of the lit'lu world of the ancients and have accurately meas ured and weighed It We have found something of the magnitude of the other worlda of the universe and compute distances In In terstellar space In years of light ve locity. And this Inconceivably big world of ours has a vast Influence upon our thoughts and life. The great er our knowledge the bigger our world; and the Christian especially should Keep tils mind aien ana anvo to this growing world and ever strive to build it on a lurger scale and fill It with greater meaning. Then, too our world grows with our Intercsis. This Is even a closer rela tion than knowledge. Implying care, concern, participation. There are nec essnrlly large areas cf knowledge which lie outnlde of our Interest, but as Interest lays hold of us and con trols thought, motive and conduct our world Is large or small according to the area of our Interest. In this re aped people differ tremendously, i The Interest of a great many people 1n the material things Is so great that 1t absorbs their whole thought, ambi tion and action; and a world whose absorbing Interests are In material things, however great Its business and however Immense Its wealth, la ee eeptially small and Insignificant The ftan In the big world Is the one who Is thoroughly Interested In his business or profession, but whose Interests also reach out Into the worlds of science, literature, art, politics, social progress, education and religion. Then again our world enlarges with our sympathies. Sympathy Is closer still than interest, as It Involves our hearts. People who lack sympathy live In a small barren world, but those who have wide and warm sympathies melt easily Into (he lives of others and thus enlarge and enrich their own world. And In our sympathies we ought to be bigger than the mere cir cle of our own friends, our church or our country Whoever cuts another human being out of his sympathy by so much narrows and Impoverishes his own world, and by as much as we make our sympathies broad and tender we enlarge our world and make It rich. Finally let us ever remember with the psalmist. "The earth Is the I-nrd'f and the fullness thereof." That lifts it Into divine relations and worth From this point of view we see the .nriri Tallin fresh from the creative hand of God, developing under his providence, ledeemed by his grace and being rebuilt even In our day. Into a universal kingdom of brotherhood and love. We are co-workers with hlra and are now building this new and better world, however Insignifi cant or dark, in the light of hla plan and presence, and this fills our world with divine purpose and grace. Our world thus widens out until It is lost In the full splendor of God and Is great with his greatneBS. Thus our world Is little or big. ac cording to our knowledge, Interest, sympathy and faith, and by Increas ing these we enlarge and enrich our world. A big soul will bu'.ld a big world. One of large vision and wide Interests, or tender sympathies and a masterful ralth cannot be shut up with in the narrow confines of personal self interest and littleness of spirit, but will ever build a large and richer world. Then, too, a big world helps tremendously make a bli; soul. Our environment calls us out, as u were, go that we stretch our powers to match Its appeals. Soul and world thus work together to widen each other out Into larger relntlons. We should work at both ends of the problem, striving to build a bigger world and grow a larger soul. ' The Life Beautiful. "What Is your life? It is even a yapor." James Iv: 14. If our life is to be beautiful and blessed, we must place It on a right basis. Look at the vapor when II trails along the earth cold, ashen, drawn up Into heaven, see lt(glow Ing with the colored brightness ol gold and beryl, topaz, chrysolite and snpphlre, and you might think It th hoiy city that John saw, having the glory of God, and whose light was like a Jasper stone, clear as crystal. Human life Is nothing until you lirt It Into the sky. Our great fault la that we live too near the ground, and therefore la our life full of perplex ity and sadness. Let us mounl nearer ueaven, and the 'rich and strange shall become familiar; our souls shall be pure, our path lumin ous, our hope sublime, our Joy full. W. L. Watklnsgn, D. D. HITCHCOCK r . ..

The exiles found Jerusalem In ruins, together with tbe surrounding cities of residence and their orchards and farms, much us they had been left by Nebuchadnezzar's armies fifty years before. Trees were growing wild on tbe Mountain of the Mouse, and the Jackals prowled among heaps of shat tered masonry. Crumbling Blone-work and charred timbers marked the site of palaces and towers, and choked the streeta. The city walla and gate! were leveled with the ground. Tbe first business of the returned exiles was, of course, to provide some kind of dwellings for themselves and their families. They accordingly settled in tbe small cities surrounding Jerusa lem, perhaps repairing the houses and walls that had been ruined by the be Bleglng armies years before, or con tenting themselves with huts or tents, The territory they controlled wus of course small, aud hemmed In on all sides, "including only Bethlehem on the south, whllo on tbe north their ter ritory measured no more than twenty-. five miles in length by twenty la breadth," and even upon this en croached tbe heathen or mongrel pop uhitiun. As soon as the returned exiles had become settled lu their homes, and hdd planned for the necessities of life, within three or four months of their arrival, they wisely arranged for the religious life which was the very heart of the natlou's exlBtence. and the central motive and Inspiration of the return. It would require yenra to build the temple. It was not wise to wait for that. It waa essential that all needful helps to devotion and re ligion and righteousness should be pro vided Immediately, to sustain them In the work to be done amid opposition and temptations which were to try their souls as gold is tried in the fire. When the builders laid the founda tion of the temple, there was a great celebration. Tbe chaut of praise was responded to with a great hurst of chorus, vocal and Instrumental, the substance of which was some well known sacred refrain. There is a wonderful power In music and every atom of It should be used In God's service. The church has scarcely be gun to use this power In Its fulness. Some object to responsive singing; some have opposed putting an orches tra In the Sunday school, as If these were modern novelties, Instead of 3, 000 years old. These old saints used every kind of InslrumenCevery meth od of singing solos, responses, chor uses, marching songs, refrains, every thing that would give wings and In spiration to the service of song. ThoBe who had known only the exile conditions Bang Hallelujahs, because It was an unspeakable Joy to have a temple at all. It meant the saving of tbe nation; It meant the returning favor of God. It was no limit to the religious life and the blessings which could grow out of it. It made possi ble the greater glory, which fifteen years later the prophet Ilaggal fore told, when It should be fulfilled In tbe Mehsiah, We learn from Huggai that tho peo ple were busy with building beautiful houses, and cultivating their farm They planted vineyards and orchnrds, figs, pomegranutes and olives. Hut all their efforts were failures. They "looked for much, and lo It came to little." For they cared more for their own houHes and furms than for the nouse of God. Then arose the wise, aged prophet preacher Haggal, who hod been watch ing tbe course of affairs, and In the name of God, urged the people to arise and build the temple, for the time had come. lie made four ad dresses in the autumn of 620, tbe sum maries of which are recorded In hla book. He began at the religious fes tival of the new moon when crowds of people we no assembled, probably In the temple area Itself, where the altar was Biuoklng with sacrifices, and the unflnlBbed foundations and the desolation of the city were In full view, while In the distance were the homes and fields of the leaders. While aged Haggal was urging the people to rise up and build, a younger prophet-preacher was Inspired to en courage tbe people, and to remove their difficulties and doubts, by a se rlcs of emblematical visions, or ob ject lessons. He urged all high motives for re newlng tbe work, and enforced them by their own experiences. They had tried to gain prosperity, while relig ion waa neglected. They had sought the fruits ot obedience to God, while they neglected tbe tree that alon could bear the fruit. They wanted rich crops In their fields, while they stopped up the springs that alone could niako them fertile. Haggal said to them, look at the results o( your bad ' policy. Consider your ways, Change your plan. Put God, and re ligion first. Seek first the kingdom of God and Its rlgl'teousness. Then you will succeed In giving the nation true prosperity, and Its place of use fulness in the world. Christ. One reason why you should put your belief in Jesus Christ Is that all through the Bible axioms are scat tered which reflect on the wonderful ness of this man. ltev. B. H.
