TNobert MacDonald Declares That the Greatest Discovery of the Twentieth Century Will Be the Dis- covery of God. _BRroogRLYN, N. Y. — “Does God Care?’ was the subject of the sermon Sunday morning by the Rev. Robert MacDonald, pastor of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church. He took his text from I. Peter v:7: “Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth far you.” Mr. MacDonald said: “The greatest discovery of the twen- tieth century will be the discovery of God, and then it will be seen that God does not care.” Such is the latest assumption of science, if a certain learned professor of one of our largest universities is deemed a trustworthy interpreter. He wisely drew the line between Christianity and infidel- ity as between believing that God cared for us and that He did not care, and stated that the leading scientists were in- fidels. Lest such statements upset or weaken the faith of some of us, let us see what the weight of probability is for the realizing f these presumptive prophecies. Let it at the very start be remembered that any more definite scientific discovery of God than we now have is unlikely. And this is said, not because we now possess so much, but that we are possessed of so lit- tle. Science will doubtless discover more about God. Shame upon our developing intelligence if it does not. Every discov- ery is that. But that is a very different thing from discovery of God. His handi- work will be more clearly traced, the working of His purposes more definitely realized; but I think we can trust the In- finite One to as successfully outwit the scientific inquisitiveness of the twentieth century ‘as of any that has soul.’ I am confident that 1900 years hence the excla- mation of the human mind will be about as it is now—“Who can by searching out find God!” One of infinite retreats is not going to be taken by surprise. The secret of His presence will ever elude the. discov- eries of man. The mystery of His person shall still remain inviolate. : ! Why do I speak as though God were an taconistie to human discovery? Because, friends, this learned prophet whose state- ments we are considering sees the only lack to the discovery, of God to be the present incompleteness of human knowl- edge and the present paucity of scientific means, both of which will be remedied, he is sure, before the present century closes. I speak as 1 do because I do not like to have Him whom we honor as Creator and Father stripped of His mystery and robbed of His volitional power and referred to as you would to an impersonal, objective fact of creation. We discover stars and coriti- nents and seas and laws and a good many other things, but it does seem to me that God Himself will have something to say about the discovery of Himself. More- over, I have no right to believe that God will ‘ever be discovered by any man save by Him whom God has discovered. He only finds God whom God has found. I am striving to maintain the integrity of the divine revelation as over against that of human investigation. We: must take God on His own terms, rather than on ours. Therefore, he only discovers God to whom God has revealed Himself, to whom God permits such discovery. We need not fear that any future discovery of God will negative. the revelation. we now have through Jesus Christ. Science is mighty, but not almighty. ‘Not more mighty than God. We welcome it in ‘the realm of well defined data, in the realm of demonstra- tion and proof.. But its advocates need to learn that the Eternal transcends its scru- tiny and the Supernatural bends not to its demands. Reassure your heart that if you are so fortunate as ta be a habitant of the realm bounded by :the Christian religion the essénce of ~ your faith canpot be - harmed.” Faith’s form,.as also the form of revelation; will be"scientifically guestioned and repaired. . Faith's, content examined and . modified: perchance, but its essence, that" spiritual ‘thing we call the: divine grace, that precious consciousness of His care for you, and that you, are living in the light of His face is too sacred. to ever bend to scientific formula, and too mystical to be expressed in the cold accuracy of scien- tific terms. Be There is, for instance, that stubborn" thing called conscience to be dealt with. hat “stands out as a very Gibraltar of protest against the assertion that God does not care. In all the history of mortals conscience has been regarded as God's handwriting on the wall, telling man he must do the right and must not do the wrong. True, it does not tell hime®what is right and what is wrong. That is a thing of fuctuating standard. Always diiler- ence of opinion about that, because de- pendent upon the man’s intelligence that owns the conscience. And any certain type of intelligence depends upon the age and civilization in which he lives, circum- stances, moral and religious ideals. Thus it is that the truest standard for the en- lichtenment of conscience is Christianity. Christian ethics, springing from. the Ser- mon on the Mount, is universally recog- nized man’s truest and highest standard of enlightenment. But on what higher authority rests this sense of ““oughtne as to the doing of right and wrong? God demands it, we say. The Creator has a right to impose terms upon His creation. We recognize our obligation to Him. Yes, but because the moral sense rests upon an intuition of Ged’s perfect morality. We could not feel any obligation to God unless we felt Him worthy of that obligation. We believe Him to embolly the ideal and perfect mor- ality. His sense of obligation to us, then, is the sanction of our sense of obligation to Him. It is precious to read that “we love Him because He first loved us.” It is as true that we are under obligation to Him because He is under obligation to us. We never speak of it that way. We seldom, if ever, think of it that way. The more ex- side of the divine nature occupies God is so pleased to do for us, His blessings are so much more truly . the manifestation of His love than of any ‘ other characteristic. But the divine ra- tionality expresses itself in justicé and t morality as truly as in love. We are con- * scious ever of our demerit, insignificance, dependence, see all divine favor to be an emanation of Ilis love. The Creator must make provision for His created. The ne- ity of His own nature demands it. The ne Father, as well as the human father, nust support His child. Conscience in us is evidence of God’s care. And it is evi- dence that can never be explained away. So long as humanity endures conseience will advocate right and denounce wrong, and just so long must man believe in God's care. Does God care? Our very constitu- tion thunders Yes. No valid discovery of God in the future can be expected to over- throw the overwhelming weight of this ev- ce. Verily, God hath not left Himself without a witness. We need not fear any future discovery, however supposedly scien- tifie, to offset this constitutional evidence. Whatever the evidence that God does not we will match and outweigh it by this arer, dearer, stronger evidence that He s care. We have a Roland for their liver. Then there are man’s be accounted {ic :ired. Neither civ y begot them. 1 tion nor are not argu + to these. , white, norant or e 1el or dod not. But the very fact of inventing all { conceivable ‘nmean$ to placaté Hiny, some of them barbarous. and revolting, indicates so strongly that it almost proves God’%"in- terest in mortals. It -is:an” evitence so - universal. that.it cannot easy, be ex. plained away. Every fundamental need in humanity: has - its ‘satisfaction® existing somewhere. Hunger presupposes food. Thirst indicates the existence of water for its quenching. Nakednes instinctively leads to the necessary coverings for its protection, even though beasts are siain, cotton, flax and wool grown to accommo- date it. So with all the hungers'of rational being, social, intellectual. moral. religious. They all are evidence of reality some- where answering to them. None of these is more fundamental and imperative than the religious. that which demands God’s care. A most pathetic manifesting of this longing is idol worship. The heathen, God's ignorant children, like ours, demand object lessons that can ve apprehended by the senses. To make God in their image is the .nearest they can get to the sublime consciousness that they are made in His. Better, it seems to us, no God than a wooden one. A spirit of negation and in- di®erence would save them so much use- less sacrifice and cruel practices and bar- barous acts of superstition by way of sup- posed atonement.. But whether better or worse atheism is not a constituent charac- teristic of moan. Strange, is it net, that it is never innate, but always an acqu.red ac- complishment, always the sad resuit of culture else of sin. By nature. and that means by right, God is always the rightful occunant of the throne. But as our self- importance grows, as we become con- sciously great in thought and achievement we become al v great in arrogance, as is all science falsely so called, and the King is asked to vacate the throne, and God is not even bowed out of the universe, but heartlessly banished. Oh, no. denial is not better than affirmation of God. however superstitiously that affirmation express it- self. It is evidence of God’s care much needed to offset a threatened evidence that He has not interest in the human race. “Notice the two possible results to which these religious instincts lead. They are the receptacle into which Christianity fits. Without them the Gospel of Jesus has no appeal. - They cry. out for. God. . Chris- tianity introduces God to them. They want an assurance of God's care. Chris- tianity assures them God cares for men to the uttermost, even enough to :die’ for them. Creation thus vrepares for revela- tion. and welcomes ‘its beneficent approach. There is another result that shows the helpfulness of, the religious instinct univer sal among men. It is the sorrow that pos- sesses us when we are told it is all a delu-, sion.. The moment you convince man there is no God. or, if there is, that He is indifs ferent to man’s welfdare, that moment the face loses its complacency, the heart its as- surance) the spirit its buoyancy, the mind its sense. of satisfaction. Doubt, disap- pointment, despair set in. Little . to live for, nothing to die for is the: cry, that will not be comforted. A stolid indifference reshlts that crushes out-the heart’s music, else wild despair that dethrones reason and inflicts self injury. Tet me make a prophecy more dismal in its outlook; than that one we are considering of a future discovery. that God does not care, a pro- phecy that if ever that dark day dawns poor humanity in despair will in’ an hour fall back from all hopefulness, aspiration, joyousness, and by one despairing plunge reverse the life satisfactions of a thousand years. or 3 Greatest of all these is the presence and, worth of Christianity to be accounted for. Christianity is a very unyielding fact. It has become too deeply rooted in the earth. to be waived aside and crowded out by any discovery. however authentic, that would invalidate its claims. It has been con-, fronted tor centuries with conflicting be-{ liefs and scientific evidence against its in-} The more it is opposed the more; v it asserts itself, comforting thei heart, lighting the dark mind, inspivingj and reinforcing the spirit. A fact so help-} ful to humanity in every conceivable ne-! cessity when sinning and needing forgive-} ness, when weak and.'needing strength,; even when suffering martyrdom at the! stake, in the amphitheatre of wild beasts, in heathen lands, midst persecutions too} numerous to be mentioned, but not too! many to be valiantly borne, must be con-} fronted with stronger, surer proof than isy at present conceivable that it relinquish its hold upon men’s esteem. Yield'it must! if it ‘were even proven God did not care;t for Christianity was rooted in God's es; teem before it found a place in man’s.’ God not only cared, but so cared that He! loved, else Christianity, that superb blos-i som and fruitage of Christ's life and teach- ing and death, had never existed. Chris-! tianity mot only embodies God’s care, it enshrines God’s heart. And the surestk ~ vielded to God's word, caught the bless ings of the revelation through Jesus, have! all the evidence necessary for the realityy of God and His care. What valid is prodf; acainst ‘God's interest in us, however scientific, to the man who hag seen thet Tord. whose sins are forgiven, upon whom, God is each day lifting up the light of His; face? When once the spiritual life has en-t tered the human heart, all coid, external} evidence is ignored, and wisely. = Then,; again, the peace of mind that results fromi belief that God cares for us enough to! share His eternal home with us by and by: is evidence that will die hard, if it. ever, die. at all, before any external evidence{ that this world is all, and that our brief,* storm-tossed existence is forever hushed in; death’s long sleep. te ing the week, “It pays to be religious, even though it be discovered at the last that there is no eternal life.” "The idea was that present satisfactions are worth the having, whatever the future may reveal. When the divine spark that we call the spiritual life once electrifies the heart, stimulating new loves, imparting new ideals, revealing God’s love and Christ’s mastership. all of which produce blessings of satisfaction and joy unspeakable, all external evidence to the contrary weighs little with that man’s belief. * And that is exactly what Christianity does. It im- parts life. As Harnack puts it, “1 is eternal life in the midst of time, under the very eye, and in the v strength of God.” “As Jesus puts it, “I am come that ye might have hfe.” Tice is a difficult thing to argue against, and even to prove the fallacy of when men possess it and are reaping manifold blessings from its pres- ence each day. ; This is why we affirmed that God must be discovered through internal revelation, rather than through external investigation. The necessary approach, to be successful, must come from Him to us, instead of from us to Him. God must grapple with and subdue man before man can reason- ably expect to grapple with and conquer God. Man's attitude is, Let me under- stand and I will reverence; let me know and I will love. God’s attitude is, You must reverence that you maj 3 vou must love that you may know. 1s attitude is as yet in prospect, oaly the dim hope of the scientific few. God's at- titude is daily being ed and proven to the world’s sin sicl orrow filled multi- tudes. All valid exter future will, I think, be alox and in harmony with reve thing about it all is that we who ined w now there are scientific evide Jiract Immortality is being proven, not the fallacy of it.

It is ‘more widely and ardently eaten than garlic, and it may soon approach the popularity of pie. According to a report recently issued, considerably more than 20,000 pounds of quinine were manufactured in Indid nm 1902, the greater’ part “in Madras, while Java manufactured neariy 44,- J00 pounds. 18,000,000 pounds - of cinchona bark were produced chiefiy in Java and In- dia, and this was reckoned to be equiv- alent to another 860,000 pounds of quinine, so that the total product of the food for the year was nearly a mil- lion pounds. There are twenty manufactories of quinine in existence, of which five are in France, three in England, two each in Germany and Italy, one in Holland, four in America, two in India and one in Java. The two principal markets for quinine are Amsterdam and Lon- don, and the latter has greatly di- minished in importance since the cul- tivation of cinchona in Java has as- sumed such large proportions. In fact, nearly three times as much bark was sold at Amsterdam in 1902, so that, al- though we probably use more quinine than any other nation, the Dutch are taking the trade away from all the rest of us. India has already taken the hint and is stimulating her growth of cinchona.—Boston Transcript, —— le WISE WORDS. 1 “You cannot prove that you are good by proving that somebody else is bad.” .

Of Palermo, the largest city ef Sicily, a traveler writes: “Its docks, quays and other harbor works are solid and serviceable. Its streets are well paved, the principal ones with large, square stone blocks, well swept and well light- ed. Its opera house is unequaled in the whole United States, and is sur- passed by few in Europe, while two at least of its theatres would be worthy of any great capital. It has a satis factory sewerage system and a su- perior water supply. Nowhere, to my kncwledge, is water drinking made as easy as in Palermo, and nowhere have I seen such phenomenal quantities of water drunk. Water is kept running continuously before the numerous coffee and refreshment bars, which ers, whether patrons or not, are priv- ileged to make free with the glasses of the establishments provided they rinse them properly before and after using.

The hint in this incident is a% valu- able to the single as to the married: The Loose Mantle. Coat. We have abjured it for a long time, but have come back to it now, a “slip on” which is quickly slipped off. The fashionable mantles are chiefly made in light fawn soft cloths, smooth faced or fancy woven, and those very light tones are in the majority; there are a great many cream. The gray and the black are not quite so fashionable, but are very much worn, especially at this intermediate season, when there are days on which we are glad to give up our furs, yet hardly know how to re- place them. The buttons upon these coats are often a marked feature; in- deed, the jeweled buttons and the stone buttons of by no means so cost- ly material but effective, are having an immense following. The blister pearl, the amazonite, the matrix opal, and the matrix turquoise all serve as a ground for the introduction of what appear to be rubies, sapphires and dia- monds. Some buttons are camoes and some are wrought in metal, carry- ing out the military element now so necessary an adjunct to success. We have banished the upstanding collar in favor of the one that turns down, and although the double-breasted Prussian military ‘coat has been reproduced in such second-rate styles that we are not so keen upon it as we were, there is still a following of such a cut, but not invariably in blue or black cloths, but in lighter shades. The Impelling Force. “It is easy to see what is the con- trolling force of Edith’s life,” said one woman of another. “It is love for children. She governs her life in t or that direction; her motive always being what is Yor their best good.” ? “On the other hand,” replied her friend, “Gertrude’s life seems gove ed by fear. a She is afraid of her hus- remarks, afraid of offendin against this or that convention. She ‘white calfskin, criticism, afraid of her neigh- | is-always moved by soma big fear of something or somebody.” “It is curious,” said the first, “how the words apply, ‘our motive,” the thing which moves us; and curious, too, how careful we should be that ‘the thing which moves us’ is a right thing; for if, unconciously or con- sciously, we have allowed ourselves to be moved by a ‘wrong thing,’ by wrong feelings or wrong ideas, we will certainly, after a while, find that this moving power will move us in the wrong direction. And once started, it may be hard to stop this force which we have allowed to control us.” “But there is still another danger which people do not always think of,” chimed in the second woman. “Even although the moving power, whether of thought or idea, be a good one, SO far as we can see, it is not #est to let it have unlimited control. It is as if we should always be in command of this little power engine of ours, keep- ing our eyes and hand ready to con- trol it with an instant touch.

Denver boasts the unique distinction of having.the only hunt club in this country composed exclusively of wo- men. This Arraya Hunt has a roster of 40. accomplished riders, swith Miss May. Cordes as mistress of the hounds. The two whippers-in, who have charge of the pack of 15 hounds, are the only men..connected in any way with the organization. Not only are all the of- fices of the club, from president to his- torian, filled by women, ‘but they make the various arrangements for their meets and attend to all their own mat- ers of finance. The most interesting feature of the Denver club is . that every woman rides astride. In their experiences it has been demonstrated that more security to the rider and comfort to the mount are insured by the use of the man’s saddle. If all things go as arranged, this western club is to have its counterpart in New York. There are a score of women in and about New York who have heart- ily- entered into the project of forming an organization patterned on like lines. The names of Mrs. Thomas Hitchock, Jr., and Miss Marion Hol- loway have been suggested for mis- tress of the hunt. Hardly less well known than Mrs. Hitchcock, Jr. :as an admirable rider, ‘is Miss Holloway, who owns a stock farm ‘and whose knowledge of horses is extensive.

Wealthy Coal Operator Is Held for Killing His Wife During a Quarrel. Michael Kissinger, aged 65, a well- to-do coal operator of Catfish station, a few miles north of East Brady, was committed to Clarion county jail, charged with the murder of his wife, Lavina, aged 60. The ‘dead woman was Kissinger’s third wife and had been married twice before her marri- age to Kissinger. They had separ- ated. Mrs. Kissinger and a 15-year- old son lived at Catfish. Tuesday evening Kissinger visited his wife to get her to sign a deed for 100 acres of coal land, for which he had been offered $7,500. It is said Mrs. Kissing- er refused to sign unless he would give her part of the proceeds. It is alleged Kissinger struck her, inflict ing a wound an inch long on the back of her head. The son, who was in an- other room, heard his mother fall and ran to her assistance. She was dead when he picked her up. He ran to East Brady and notified the constable, who arrested Kissinger. A post-mor- tem examination showed that death was caused by a blood clot at the base of the brain. . . A regular cloudburst fell over the country west of Reading Thursday.
