AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
_ REV. DR. A, H. GOODENOUGH.
toa
Subject : Material Prosperity.
Bristol, Conn.—The Rev. Dr. Arthur
" Goodenough, long a Brooklyn pas-
for, now of the Prospect M. E. ‘Church
here, preached Sunday a strong ser-
mon on “Is Our Nation Drunk With
National Prosperity? The text was
from Exodus xx, 2 and 3: “I am the
ford thy God, which ave brought thee
out of the land of Egypt, out of ‘the
house of bondage. Thou shalt have no
other gods before Me.” Dr. Goode-
aough said:
The text is taken from the Deca-
logue. The Ten Commandments were
Israel’s national constitution. The
Decalogue was given as the rule of
conduct of the people of Israel. The
story of Israel's deliverance and salva-
tion and the birth of the nation as re-
corded in the Pentateuch reads like
fiction. It is a wonderful story. It is
aot fiction, however—it is history. God
is always and forever against human
slavery. God is a just God; God loved
the poor and suffering and hopeless
people down in Egypt. It was His
purpose to deliver them. He did de-
liver them. And as many of them as
mercy could save finally
reached the promised land. I suppose
God has a right to have favorites, as
well as anybody else. To make a law
that nobody should have favorites
would be the legislation of lunatics.
That would be contrary to:the law of
life. The law of life is the law of
God, and you cannot go back of that.
God had a special regard for Israel
Why not? He certainly had a right to,
because He was kind and merciful
and good to everybody else. But the
favored people frequently forgot God.
They turned away from following af-
ter Him and sought out ways of their
own. And sometimes they preferred
garlic and onions in Egypt rather than
the discipline of the journey, which
would ultimately bring them to the
Jand of milk and honey. Very often
God had to say to them the words
which we have read as our text: “I
am the Lord thy God, which have
brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
Thou shalt have no other gods before
Me.”
It bas often been said that America
is God’s second Israel. God has surely
been good to this nation. He has
shown us many mercies. He has
abundantly poured into our laps the
wealth of the prairie and mine. And
the most valuable crop of all with
which God has enriched us is in the
galaxy of great and good men, by
whose life and labor we are all blessed.
Our republic, in a little over a hundred
years, has worked its way to the fore.
‘And now, by sheer skill and industry,
by mental power and the kindly heart,
she has made herself the foremost na-
tion in the family of nations. Other
nations tell us that we are a great peo-
ple, and we are inclined to believe
them. The late Archdeacon Farrar,
that much beloved and widely known
Englishman, has said,
‘God’s destined heritage; not for tyr-
anny, not for aristocracy, not for priv-
ilege—but for progress, and for liberty,
and for the development of a great
and noble type of righteous, feariess
and independent manhood.”
That is the world's estimate of us.
God forbid that we should ever fail
in one jot or tittle of what is expected
of us! Our mission is to make the
world better. The ways and means
are here; the ability to use them is also
‘here. God grant that what is in our
heads and in our hands and in our
banks and in our barns, may all be
laid upon the altar—consecrated to the
advance and uplift of all the people
who look wo us ior guidance and bless-
ing. In order to accomplish that we
must, ourselves, keep right in thought
and pure in heart, and walk in the
upward path that 'eads to more light
and to the summit of human perfec-
tion.
For some years past there has come
to us an unbroken stream of prosperity.
This is due to two things: First—the
blessings of heaven, in rain and dew
and sunshine upon a rich and fertile
soil. Second—the industry and skill of
man in making the best and most of
what is within reach.
Our Secretary of Agriculture has
given to the world a report that makes
the heart of every American dance
for joy. The whole world has stood
before it in surprise and delight. Not
only has it beaten all previous reports
in our own land, but it has surpassed
anything that any nation has ever been
able to render. The value of the year’s
farm products, that actually came into
the pockets of the farmers, was $6,-
415,000,000. That sum would more
than pay the national debt of France
or Russia. According to the editor of
Current Literature, it would purchase
all the gold produced in the world in
the last twenty years. Three farm
products have yielded enormous sums.
Corn, $1,216,000,000; milk and butter,
$665,000,000, and hay, $605,000,000.
Secretary Wilson tells us that the ag-
gregate value of all our farms has in-
creased in five years $6,133,000,000.
‘What does this mean? It means
many things. It means, first of all,
that there is plenty of money. When
the farmer does well, everybody else
does well. All our wealth comes out
of the soil. And in the rich harvest
there is more of God than of man.
When the harvests are plentiful, the
mills, the shops, the factories, are ail
busy. There is work for everybody.
And when this is the case, the poor
man grows rich.and the rich man
grows richer. To all of which we have
10 objections.
Lots of money, Lowever, is mot an
nnmixed good. Most men love money.
it is a noble ambition to desire money,
to work for a competency, and for a
surplus, to fall back on, in the rainy
diay, or when old age comes on, as
surely it will, if death do not overtake
us sooner. But some men have an
insatiable thirst for gold. Get money
s their shibbgleth. It seems easy for
some folk to persuade themselves that
any method is justified if you only get
what you want. Many people, there-
fore, in our time, have become enor-
mously rich. Some of them have
rotten suddenly rich. Be sure and
tag the man who becomes suddenly
rich. There hangs a story. We are
10t saying that getting rich is a sin.
We would all get rich if we could.
That is, if wealth legitimately came
our way, we should not object.
We have been hearing, and reading,
mueh of late about graft, and crooked
methods of conducting business. Dr.
Lyman Abbott has been addressing
some college students. He has told
the young men in college to avoid the
prevailing methods of doing business.
He assures them that honesty is the
only safe way to permanent success.
Here is a symptom, a diagnosis, and a
remedy—the remedy will work a per-
feet cure if vigorously applied.
There have been some recent ex-
posures of business methods, which
have brought the Blush to the cheek of
every honest American. These ex-
posures have also astounded and stag-
wered the whole business world.
United States Senators have been con-
victed of crime, and others are blister-
ing under grave afd general suspicion.
This is a dark picture. We cannot
forget it. But we must linger on it.
A few of our own people have said:
“We are a nation of grafters.” It has
been said “That we are drunk with
prosperity. We have become intoxi-
cated of money. Money is our god.
We have forgotten the ways of the
fathers. We have gone astray. It was
never so before.” And so oun, all of
which is only one side of the story.
What are the facts? These: The
love of money is no stronger now than
it has been in the centuries past. Gold
has always had a fascination for some
folk. Wasn't it so in Washington's
day? Oh, those were good old days!
Were they? Ob, yes! Do you forget
the bold land speculators at the na-
tional capital? Money came in abund-
ance into the treasury of the young
nation. And there the grafters gath-
ered for their prey. People were nc
better in the young days of the repub-
lic than they are now.
Again we ask, What are the facts?!
These: Let me here repeat the text
“1 am the Lord thy God. Thou shall
have no other gods before Me.” The
God of Israel, the God of our rathers
is the God of the vast majority of the
people of this continent. The people
of the United States are not crazy for
wealth, they are not drunk with pros
perity. Honest men abound. Rogues
are rare. Sooner or later they are
found out. Then they reap the reward
of their doings. Our people are slow
to wake up. It takes them’ a long
time to ses villainy in their neigh.
bors. But when they do wake up, and
‘when they are sure that there is sin
and fraud and taneft, they go for the
wrong doers and mete out to them the
punishment due to their crime.
In proof of this, I wish to remind yout
of certain tendencies of our time. We
can also point to some things which
are happening and which have really
happened. In the realm of politics, or
in the sphere of government, the
trickster, the deceiver of the people
the low politician, the traitor have had
their day. They are relegated to the
rear. They are'out of the race. Health
is catching as well as disease. A
healthy moral contagion is sweeping
over the land. The cry of the people is
for honest men in the legislative halls
of the country. Aud the people in the
long run will get what they want
They are getting it now. They will
not stop to-morrow, nor the next day
“America was | The new era in American politics has

tion. It was not given for the enrich:

revolution has been wrought mainly
by the clergy of the free churches. The
desire over there is that the people
shall be considered. They have rights,
and their rights are to be respected.

splendid republic, fail back to second

ers take notice. The old regime is over,
The kingdom of God includes the halls
of legislation. The Christ demands
fair play. The spirit of Jesus is taking
hold of the people, and they are no
longer to be fooled. No, no. The na-
tion is not drunk with money. The
nation is, and is becoming more and
more serious, sane, sober. The people
are growing intelligent, thoughtful,
reverent. The kingdom of God is win-
ning glorious victories. The golden day
is coming.
Last of all I point you to what the
church has done and is doing in proof
that our nation is rot drunk with pros.
perity. The church, like science, the
handmaid of religion, is adapting her-
self to the needs and work of the hour.
The church is more than an evangel-
ical force. She is a mental stimulant
and a moral regenerator. To preach
Christ crucified is but a part of her
great mission. She must stand square-
ly and firmly in the pathway of evil
doers. She must permeate by her in-
fluence all phases and conditions of
life. She must make it hard to do
wrong, and easy to do right. And she
is doing it.
Jesus Christ died on the cross for
human sin. Thank God for that. The
cross is our hope. But He did more
than that. He preached to the poor.
He healed the sick. He showed men
and women the way of love, or hon-
esty, of kindness, of brotherliness. The
social, the political, the moral, the re-
ligious life of the people. He touched
and quickened and saved. My friends,
take heart. The country is not going
to limbo. The devil hasn’t all of the
American people in his grasp. Great
things are taking place in the name of
our Lord and Saviour. Let us look to
Him, follow Him and victory is sure:

Subject. Jesus the sMner’s Friend,
Luke vii,, 36-50—Golden Text, Luke
vii,, B50—=Memory Verse, 47=—Come
mentary om the Day’s Lesson.
I. Jesus anointed in Simon's house
(vs. 36-39). 36. “One of the Phar.
isees.” Simon, by name. This was a
common : Jewish. name. There were
two by this name among the apostles,
nine are mentioned in the New Zesta-
ment and twenty in Josephus. “Sat
down to meat.” “Reclined at table.”
The custom was to recline on a couch,
on the left side, the head toward the
table. and the feet outward. But Si-
mon omitted the usual ceremonies of
respect which Jesus might well have
expected.
37. “A woman—a sinner.” There is
a difference of opinion as to the char-
acter of this woman. Some think that
she was a notorious woman of the
street, while Clark, Whedon and oth-
ers think the term “sinner” is used
here, as in many other places, merely
to designate a heathen. There is no
evidence to prove that this woman
was Mary Magdalene or that she
was a grossly immoral character.
38. “Stood—behind.” The knees
were bent and the feet turned out-
ward behind. The sandals were put
off en entering the houge. “Wash—
wipe.” She wept profusely: her hair
was flowing loosely about her shoul:
ders as a sign of mourning, and with
this she wiped His feet. “Kissed.”
The kiss is an emblem of love, subjec-
tion and supplication. “Anointed
them.” She did not think herself
worthy to anoint His head. 39. “Phar-
isee—saw it." The first feeling of Ni-
mon was that of displeasure that a
heathen sinner had ventured to pollute
his pure threshold. “Within himself.”
He had doubt with reference to his
guest, but he dare not speak his
thoughts. A prophet.” The idea
prevailed among the Jews ‘that a
prophet must know everything secret.”
“That: toucheth him.” - Simon; if she
had touched him. would have =aid,
“Stand by thyself. come not near me.
I am holfer than thou:” and he thought
Christ should say so, too.
11. Jesus, speaks sa parable (vs. 40-
43). 40. “Jesus—s: Simon prob-
ably expressed his displeasure by his
looks. Simon:did not see through: his
guest, but Christ saw through him.
“Somewhat to say.” A courteous way
of asking permission to speak. Those
whom Christ hath somewhat against,
He hath some hat to say unto. *Mas-
ter, say on.” Although not believing
Him to be a prophet, yet he recognizes
Him as a teacher. 4), “A certain
creditor.” The creditor is God and
the two debtors are Simon and the
woman. “Five hundred pence’. Or
denaril. Silver denaril were worth
from fifteen. to seventeen cents. 42
“Nothing to ‘'pay.”” Simon, the IPhar-
isee. was in debt and. without tbe
means of paying. He could no more
pay his fifty pence than the poor wo-
man could pay her five hundred, and
if both be not freely forgiven by divine
mercy both must perish. “Forgave
them both.” No righteousness of ours
ran merit His pardoning love. Salva-
tion is the gift of God.
43. “I suppose.” With greater mod-
esty than that with which he had just
murmured in secret does he give his
opinion, and Jesus proceeds to turn
his answer immediately as a weapon
against him.
ITI. Jesus reproves Simon (vs. 44-
47). 44. ‘oseest thou this woman.”
Afflicted and distressed and burdened
with sin, but longing to be delivered.
Do you see the tenderness and affec-
tionate regard she is manifesting to-
ward Me? “i entered.” As a guest,
by vour invitation. *No water for My
feet.” Simon was greatly deficient in
not performing the common civilities
t@ Christ. The ensiom of providi
water to wash the guests’ feet was
very ancient. It was one of the rites
of hospitality. **With tears.” Tears
of sorrow for sin and of love for Me
her Savior. 45. “No kiss.” A kisson
the cheek from the master of the
house, with the invocation, “The Lord
be with you.” conveyed a formal wel-
come. A kiss was an expression of a
hearty and affectionate welcome to a
friend. “My feet with ointment.”
This woman had not forgotten any
of these marks of respect.
47. “Her sins, which are many.”
If we come io Christ in the right spirit,
confessing our sins, He is as willing
to forgive many as He is only a few.
“Are forgiven.” What precious words!
They are all forgiven, never to return;
the Lord will remember them no more,
for ever. “For she loved much” Or,
therefore she loved much. Her great
fove was the effect of her being for-
given. “To whom little is forgiven.”
A man’s love to God will be in propor-
tion to the obligations he feels himse!f
under to ihe bounty of his Maker.
“Loveth little.” What Rimon lacked
was i decp sense of his sinful heart
and life. The one who thinks his
debt is small feels but little gratitude
when it is forgiven. Those forms of
theology which treat sin lightly always
belittle Christ's divine nature and the
necessity of the atonement.
IV. Jesus forgives the woman (vs.
48-50). 48. “Said unto her.” Jesus
now for the first time speaks directly
to the woman. ‘Forgiven. A prec-
ious word to a sin-burdened soul. and
doubly 30 when spoken by Garist.
While the seit-righteov: Pharisee mur-
mured the poor penitent rejoiced.
49. “Who is this,” ete. He need not
credit them with unbelief; they were
amazed at a claim which doubtless
many of them soon came to see was
fully justified. 50. “Thy faith hath
saved thee.” Christ ascribes to faith
those benefits which are du: to Iim-
self as the meritorious cauge. Faith
is the instrument on our part by w which
is benefits are supplied

The Lord’s Day; How to Keep It
Holy.—Luke 6:8-10; Ex. 20:8-11;
Rev. 1:9-18, ‘
-Whatever means more and. better
life, for yourself and others, is ap-.
propriate to the Day of the Lord of
life. "¢
“Six days shalt-thou labor” is just
as much a part of the Sabbath law as
“on the seventh day thou shalt rest.”
We are living in God’s Sabbath, His
rest day; and yet how busily He is at
work! But He is at work for others.
If we have the Lord’s Day spirit
(Rev. 1:10): we shall keep the day
in the right way, as no amount of
rules will enable us to keep it.
Suggestions.
If we keep the Sabbath physically,
it will keep us physically; and if
spiritually also, we shall also be kept
spiritually.
Christ is Lord of the Sabbath; and
so are we, if Christ dwells in our
hearts.
No one keeps the Sabbath if. he
thinks about its prohibitions rather
than its privileges,
“Time saved” by Sunday labor is
life lost,
lilustrations.
It has been proved by many experi-
ments that workmen who labor seven
days in the week accomplish less, in
the long run, that those that rest on
Sunday.
Sunday'is not the week's dormitory,
but the week's gymnasium.
Sunday is. the day of the sun-—new
light, new fire, new life; and the sun
is the Sun of Rig! 1teousness.

Qur' Résources in Servi ce.—Matt T.
; 7. 8,
The Creator, for his own great and
wonderful purpose, has put us 1nto
the world. We have our own plans
for life, our ambitions, our strong de-
sires, but all of them are of slight im-
portance compared with God’s plan
for our lives. He who knows the end
from the beginning has chosen us to
be a part of his wonderful and uni-
versal scheme! However important it
is to us that we should be properly
cared for, helped, ang directed ,it is
more important to God.
Out yonder on the farthest outpost
of a great army is a single picket, He
is the nearest soldier to the enemy’s
lines. Of course, it is important to
the soldier that he shall not be harm-
ed. It is of the utmost concern to him
that the enemy shall not destroy him.
He is naturally interested in his own
safety. But up at headquarters there
is a general in command of the entire
force The life of that picket on the
remote outpost is of more importance
to the general tnan it is to tne soldier
himself. On the picket-guard's ability
to guard the camp against sudden and
unexpected attacks may depend the
lives of thousands of men, and even
the destiny of a nation. This is a
very inadequate illustration of the fact
that God cares more than we do; that
we should be each of us in his right
place. So he guides us.
But God is able, as the genom of an
army is not, to guard the safety of
every faithful servant. Many a pick-
et has lost his i.fe, without blame on
his part, in the discharge of his duty.
But no child of God came to loss while
he was faithful in the place to which
God had guided him, ang where ha
had been put on duty.
When we can say, “My times are
in thy hand.” we have no need to fear
final disaster. The seeming loss, the
present grief, the pain of to-day, will
all come, through the alchemy of God's
providence, to real and lasting bless-
ing. ,
Everybody would be glad to feel
confident that God's resources were at
his command, but not everybody may
have this assurance. We cannot claim
the promise until we ave willing to
‘put ourselves under his control. Sub-
mission must come before endown-
ment. No one can follow the leadings
of God's providence unless he has ac-
cepted God's authority.

DUN'S WEEKLY / SUMMARY
L3ck of Material Retards Building—
AY Branches of Industry Show
Favorable Reports.
Stringency in the money market has
caused no interruption of the whole-
some progress of trade and industry,
although tending to develop conser-
vatism in speculative departments.
Whether conditions accelerate the
distribution of seasonable merchan-
dise and retail business is of large
volume outside the immediate vi-
cinity of the coal mines and a few
other places where local controversies
have their influence.
Building operations are only limit-
ed by the supply of labor and mater-
ial, which cause frequent delays, and
the heavy consumption of all com-
modities is shown by the highest lev-
el of quotations since February,
1884. Dun’s index number on April
1, being $106,066 against $104,204 a
month previous and $99,206 a year
ago. Since the month opened there
has been a further advance.
Manufacturing plants are fully en-
gaged, pig iron production is at the
miximum, shipments of footwear from
Boston exceed those of any previous
year and a stronger tone is reported
at the textile mills. Railway earnings
for the first week of April were 8.1
per cent. larger than last year’s al-
though prices of securities have
weakened somewhat in response to
the highest money market at this
season in many years.
Official statistics of foreign’ com-
merce for the month of March indicate
that exports of farm staples were
valued at $69,750,000, an increase of
$2,250,000 as compared with the cor-
responding period last year when the
movement was exceptionally heavy.
Structural shapes ard steel rails con-
tinue the permanent features of the
iron and steel industry, although
every department has recently broad-
ened in interest.
Leather” is also more quiet but
no less firm. Failures numbered 193
in the United States against 214 last
year and 20 in Canada, compared with
20 a year ago.

FOUR YEARS 'S OF AGONY.
Whole Foot Nothing Du Bat Proud Fleshes
Had to Use Crutches — ‘“Cuticura
Remedies Best on Earth.”
“In the year 1896 the side of my right
foot was cut off from the little toe down
to the heel, and the physician who had
charge of me was trying to sew up the
side of my foot, but with no success. At
last my whole foot and way up above my
calf was nothing but proud flesh. I suf-
fered untold agonies for four years, and
tried different physicians and all kinds of
ointments. 1 could walk only with
crutches. In two weeks afterwards I saw
a change in my limb. Then I began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during
the day, and kept it up for seven months,
when my limb was healed up just the
same as if I never had trouble. It is
sight months now since I stopped using
Cuticura Remedies, the best on God's
earth. I am working at the present day,
after five years of suffering. The cost of
Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only $6,
but the doctors’ bills were more like $600,
