Victoria's auction bh. ~ THE PULPIT, 4N ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY : REV. GEORGE THOMAS DOWLING. = i Subject: “The Secrat of Peace.” BROOKLYN, N. Y.—Dr. Thomas Edward Dowling, minister in charge of St. James's P. E. Church, St. James place and Lafayette avenue, preached Sunday morning on the subject, “The Secret of Peace,” a study of the Shep- herd Psalm. Dr. Dowling said: Thirty centuries ago there lived in Palestine a king, who in his boyhood had been a shepherd lad. And in his old aze, when he had seen life, with its “sorrows and. its joys, this king, David, sang a song, which it takes less than two minutes deliberately to re- peat. Taree thousand years have gone Since then; and to-day everything he owned has turned to dust except his sohgs. The throne on which he sat —dust: the palace where he dwelt— dust; the harp which his fingers wera accustomed to sweep, the banner Witl which he led the hosts of Israel, his chariots, and his charioteers—all dust! But to-day that song goes sing- ing its way to the universal heart, in the cottage of the poor and the mansion of the rich, in the home of the learned and of the unlearned, be- cause it sings of what all the world is huagering for—peace. Wh the cates it was with this song upon his lips. Luther called it the “Little Bibie,” and so it is, for it contains in miziature the whole book. Henry ‘Ward Beecher, who once made Brook- lyn famous, that greatest preacher the world has ever known since Paul stood on Mars Hill, called it “the nightingale’s song,” because it sings to us in the darkness. Listen while I repeat it to you, that it may once again sing its way into your heart. (Dr. Dowling here repeated deliber- ately the Twenty-third Psalm.) Now I yield Him not simply admira- tion. but adoration. It is the difference between “He leadeth,” and “He lead- eth me If you would know what God may be to you, learn to appro- priate Him. Learn to think of Him simply not as a God, but your God; not simply as a friend, but your friend; not simply as a shepherd, but your shepherd. Now. when you receive a gift there are three things which you do with it. You accept it, ‘you examine it, apd you use it. And the gift which this royal shepherd poet of three thou- sand years ago makes to us in this Shepherd Psalm may prove more pre- cious to you than any which you have ever received, if you deal with it in just that way; the way of appropria- tion, of appreciation and of. applica- tion. As you notice how very easy it is to appropriate it, because it abounds with those personal and possessive pronouns, in which, Martin Luther said, the preciousness of the Bible consists: “The Lord is my shepherd.” “He leadeth me.” “Yea, though I walk through the valley.” What a great difference there is be- tween the mere apprehension of a fact and the appropriation of that fact, be- tween knowing it and claiming it. ‘When you see a child in a runaway, you are moved; but suppose it is your child. There is the same difference that there is between the stately man- sion of a stranger and the little cot- tage in which your mother rocked you in her arms and crooned to you the songs of your babyhod. So, my friends, you never can judge of a re- ligion until it has been transmuted into a personal experience, until it has become your religion. A histori- cal Christ is, at the most. only a Christ. I can look upon Him with admiration. Ah! but when He has become mine, and I have heard His voice, and felt His touch, He is no . longer simply a Christ but the Christ. And then, when you have appropri- ated this psalm, seek to appreciate it. Notice, to begin with, the perfect spir- it of trust which breathes through it all. See how much it has to say about Him and how little about ourselves. Mark how every verse tells us what He is doing. My dear people, that is the whole secret. The secret of peace is the putting of God between our troubles and curselves. I know the dark hours which, have come into some of your lives: I know your perplexities; for though you are strangers to me as yet, the experience of human hearts js just the same the whole world over, and the joys and the sorrows of the men and women whom I learn- ed so well to know and to love on the Pacific shores are just the joys and the sorrows which you are having to- day. I know of the hour when some young mother in this congregation sat by ti e of her little one, pering blindly, “I do not know she should be taken from me: understand it.” Well, my why 1 cannot dear child, do not try to understand it, for you never. can here. Some day I shall preach to you on “Things to be Waited For,” and one of the things to be waited for is the under- standing of these mysteries of life. And yet we may know that while we are waiting we may be waiting in companionship with Him who un- derstands it all. And there is no oth- er help for us in our dark hours, ex- cept in placing Him between our troubles and ourselves. Wilbur Chapman tells us of a little drummer boy in our civil war who was taken into the hospital mortally wounded, and so they sent for his mother from a distant city. But when she came they said to her, “You can- not go in; he’s too sick; he couldn’t stand the shock.” And so she stood by the door waiting and weeping and listening. And when ‘she heard him sigh, she said to them, “Let me go in: 1 won't speak to him. Tl just sit by his bedside.” And so they per- mitted her to pass quietly into the darkened room and sit beside him. But as she sat there the mother love was too strong, and, reaching out her hand. she laid it gently upon his ach- ing forehead. He did not open his eyes, but he knew that touch. She saw his lips move, and, stooping down to him, she heard him say: “I knew you'd come to me; I knew you'd come n Edward Irving swept through | to me” And if*you are ‘only willing to welcome Him who Ioves you more than yom ever loved your little one, you may know that He will come to you, and “as ome whom his mother comforteth,” so will He comfort you. And notice the blessings which he brings when He comes. As David ex- presses it in this psalm, “they that be- long to Him shall find that their cup ‘overfloweth’ ”; not only abundance, but redundance. It has sometimes seemed as though there were a mix- ture of figures here, and that as the psalmist neared the end of his song the scene changed from the open fields of the flock to the guarded household of the guest. But this is not so. One of the mest important duties of the shepherd is to find a feeding place for his sheep, where they shall not be injured by poisonous herbs, and where he may defend them against the jackals and the wolves that prowl around. Our Shepherd will protect us and provide for. our wants, not only in the sa. clusion of the fold, but while we are still, if need be, out in the world. And so David, sings,. “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.” Then follows the closing scene of the day. The sun is setting, and the flock is being brought home. But some of them have been wounded, and some of them are weary. And so the shepherd stands at the door of the sheepfold, rodding the sheep. as it is termed; holding them back with his rod, permitting them to enter one by one. Here one has been bruised or torn by the briars, and from the horn filled with olive oil he bathes the wounded head. And one is tired and worn, and, dipping into the ves- sel the large two-handled cup, he zives him a drink. Thus the shepherd cares for his sheep clear on till the very hour of the homecoming. Noth- ing is forgotten. And so the psalm- ist sings, still with the picture of the shepherd in his mind, “Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” But I am anticipating. “The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want.” What? Rest. “He mak- eth me to lie down in green pastures.” But the green pastures have to come first. There is the contemplative life, and the active life. And, my Dbreth- ren, we need the first; that is the meaning of these services; that is the meaning of Sunday; that is the mean- ing of Lent. It is a mistake for us to suppose that we can get on in the right life without these green pas- ture experiences. Somebody says, “I judge of a man by what he does.” Yes; but what a man does grows out of what that man is. And here in these contemplative hours we find Christian manhood and womanhood in the making. And then, there is the leadership: “I shall not want”—guidance; “He leadeth me.” That is the other side of the Christign experience; the active side. The purpose of these green pastures is to send us forth to use the strength which here we get. And in this leadership of His there are two facts which I would have you remember. He goes before us: “He leadeth.” He will select no path which his sheep cannot travel. But remember also that the sheep must follow after: we must select no path which He cannot travel. “He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness,” not always by the side of still waters, not always in. green pastures— sometimes the sheep track may lie across the wilderness; but if we are following him we may know that they are always ‘paths of right- eousness’’—right paths, and that they lead toward home. And finally, ‘‘I shall not want” com- panionship. “Yea, though ‘I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me.” He who is following the Master shall find death itself on- ly a shadow; and who shail be afraid of a shadow? And thouzh the val- ley may be there and the darkness, He shall lead us out, as He leads'us in. Death is not a blind pocket; it is not a place of tarrying, only of transition. 1 shall walk.“through the valley of the shadow of death.” And now, having appropriated this psalm, having sought to appreciate it, let us try to apply it. I mean to-day, here and now, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, every day. For you observe that until we reach the very last verse it is all im the present tense. He is not speaking of any distant elysium, far away in the futurc. “The Lord is my shep- herd; he maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.” All the blessings which I have described may he yours now. Will you take them for yours, and apply them to the problems of your life to-day? Oh, learn to prac- tice the presence of God. Try to think of Him as really at your side. Speak to Him when you are in trouble or perplexity. Suppose you make a test of this Shepherd psalm only for' to-day. Suppose you say: ‘From now until the hour when I fall asleep at night 1 will to live with this thought supreme: that God is mine, and that He loves me, and i me.” See what it will mean to you in peace and comfort and joy. And then realize that if you can do it for one day, you can do it for every day, and the problem of vour life's mean- ing is solved. And when the last val- ley shall have been passed, and pass- ed through, and you are drawing near to that fold, which James Lane Allen describes as “the final land where the mystery, the pain, and the yearn- ing of this life will either ba infinite- ly satisfied or infinitely quieted,” though you shall have changed your place, you will not change your com- pany; He who was with you here will be with you there, and this song shall still go singing its way on and up into the eternal light: “Goodness and mercy shall follow me ali the days of my life, and I dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” zaal seex All Pervasive.

Subject: Jesus Dines With a Pharisee, Luke xiv., 1-14—Golden Text, Luke xiv., 11—=Memory Verses, 13, 14—Topic: ‘The Believer’s Social Duties—Commentary I. The true idea of Sabbath observ- ance (vs. 1-6)..1. “Chief Pharisees.” It has been suggested that this man may have been a member of the Sanhedrin with a country ‘home in Perea. “To eat bread.” Our Lord had no home and, when He was invited to dine, it was as proper for Him to go on the Sabbath as on any other day. ‘They were watching Him.” R. V. were maliciously watching Him. 2. “A certain man.” This man may have been brought there by the Phar- isee in order to test Christ. ‘Before Him.” Before the company had taken seats at the table. “Dropsy.” A dis- ease in which the body or some part of it is filled with water. 3. “Jesus answering spake.” Jesus knew they were deceptive, and He was ready to meet them. ‘The lawyers.” The teachers of the law who were present. “Is it lawful,” etc. They are in a dilemma; as lawyers they ought to know, but if they answered in the affirmative they would endorse Christ and His work, while to answer in the negative would be to show their lack of love and lay themselves liable to a charge similar to that given in chap- ter 13:15. It was seriously argued that to walk upon the grass with nailed shoes was a violation of the Sabbath. 4. “Held their peace.” Unable to con- demn, unwilling to concede. But such silence was our Liord’s complete publie justification. If the contemplated mira- cle was unlawful why did not these great religious authorities forbid it? “Took him.” Took hold of him (Luke 20:20; 1 Tim. 6:12). .%“Healed him.’ Showing the opinion of Jesus as to healing on the Sabbath day. “Let him go.” Dismissed him and turned back to the Pharisees, whose sancti- monious hatred was worse than this poor man’s disease. 5. “Iallen into a pit.” Jesus silences them completely by calling attention to the fact that they on the Sabbath day would have mercy on a beast in distress. Read Matt, 12:10-13; Luke 13:14-17. G6. “Could not answer Him.” Silent, but not convinced. The question was unanswerable, If they would de- liver an ox or an ass from a pit on the Sabbath, by what reason or com- mon sense eould they say it was wick: ed to save a man from his affliction? II. A parable of humility (vs. 7-11). 7 The selfish struggle 7. “A parable.) for precedence as they were taking their places at the table gave Jesus an opportunity to teach a lesson in humil- ity. “When He. marked.” Nothing es capes the eye of the Lord. “How they chose out.” To take the highest place when it is not our due is public vanity; to obstinately refuse'it when offered, is another instance of the same vice though private and concealed. “The chief rooms.” The chief seats. R. V. The guests reclined on couches around the table which formed three sides ot a hollow square. On each side there were three places. The middle place was the most honorable. 8. “Bidden—to a wedding.” He speaks of a “marriage feast” (R. V.) because the rules of procedure would be more carefully insisted upon. “Sit not down.” The pride that apes hu. mility violates the spirit of this teach. ing. . 9. “He that bade.” The host who has authority to decide the mat ter. “With shame.” Sooner or later pride will hiave a fall. °° 10. “In the lowest room.” The high place was occupied very briefly; the lowest place was permanent. “Go up higher.” The way to rise is to begin low. What Christ commanded He Him- self did. “Then shalt thou have wor: ship.” “Have glory.” R. V. Have reverence, respect and honor in the presence of the company. 11. “Who- ‘soever exalteth,” etc. Now follows the ‘great principle illustrated by this para: ble. Humility is the passport to pro: motion in the kingdom of God. The one who is proud and seeks to be hon- ored above others, shall be abased, or humbled, both by God and man. III. A lesson on our duty to the poor (vs. 12-14). 12. “Call not thy friends.” The second parable is to the host. It is a sharp rebuke on account of a fault which is almost always committed in the choice of guests. “Nor thy rich neighbors.” “He that giveth to the rich shall surely come to want” (Prov. 22:16). 3. “Call the poor.” Feasts to the poor are not forbidden. He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the t.ord. What the Saviour here commends to others He has Himself fulfilled in the most illustrious manner. 14. “Shalt be blessed.” The poor who have been fed will bless thee, and so will the Lord. ‘‘Resurrection of the just.” There is to be a future state, we are all hastening on toward the resur- rection. At that time God will re- ward those who have done good, for His sake, without the hope of any :arthly recompense. Tor the sake of a few hucketfuls of diamonds a mass of hard blue vol- canic earth that would form a cube overtopping the mightiest cathedral is sannually quarried, trucked and washed in the South African dia mond mines, remarks the New York Tribune.

EPIORTH LEAGUE LESSONS SUNDAY, JULY 29. ———— How The Churc Can Help World.—Col. 4. 5-16. The alienated condition of large portions of the population, even in our own and, is evidence that there is great need of some mighty evangel to call people to the consideration of things which concern their eternal welfare. Only a fraction of the vouth of our country is found in the Sunday school and the young people’s societies. The calendars of the crim- inal courts are full. The prolific sources of a great portion of the crime and misery, the liquor sa- loons, are Kept open by government- al provision, and are as much pro- tected by governmental police power as churches are from molestation. Surely the world needs help. There is graft everywhere, it would almost seem. Another picture lies before us as we write. The door of Christen- dom stands ajar, and a comely figure, representing Christianity, is looking out. A ‘‘heathen Chinee” is a little way off, shouting to her: ‘“Ho, there! Your doorstep needs cleaning!” These are some of the objects lying on and about the doorstep; the liquor traflic, loot, war, opium, trade, scandalous plays, erotic .novels and commercial greed. Is it not a part of the the business of the yourg host of Methodism to clean the doorstep of the house of Christianity? Our daily Scriptures show us the method by showing us, as Christians, what we are and what our relation- ship to the world is. Christians are salt; they are light—two essential things. Salt stands for all things preservative. Society would go down into the reek of Sodom if it were not for the element of Christian mor- als in. it.. .And_ but for these our country would go the way of the dead empires, whose wreckage strews the shores of time. Must our nation ‘join the company of the dead? We hope not; we do not believe it will. Our faith is founded on the fact that the leaven of Chris- tianity is in it, and this constitutes a force which can more than neutralize the power of evil tendency, and will at last make every house a house of prayer. CHRISTIAN ENDENORNOTES JULY TWENTY-NINTH. Gardiner, and Missions to America.—2 Cor. 11:23-30. Christ came, as He said, to bring us ‘‘the abundant life.”” The result, when one receives it, is ‘labors more abundant.” The true Christian rejoices in his stripes for they bring him into clos- er fellowship with Him with whose stripes we are healed. ‘Who could not live nobly. if he could live indepcndently and isolated? But Latin the heroic life is the one that is faithful to large responsibilities for others. Do vou bear lightly the sorrows and trials of fellow Christians? Then look to your own Christianity. DIVIDED LIVES. Alternate Topic for July 29: Divided Lives.—Matt. 6:24; 2 Kings 17:33-41. . As it is impossible to be at the same time a citizen of the United States and of ancther country, so one cannot belong at the same time to the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the world. There is only one way to enjoy re- ligion, and that is to surrender to it. If you want to know whether your life is divided, classify your long- ings. You want God to be wholly for vou; must you rot be wholly for God? It the farthest hidden corner of your heart is Satan’s, he has a right of way to it. A flesh-and-blood heart, divided, means death; so with the spiritual heart. Worldly success in any sphere ab- solutely requires a whole-hearted de- votion to the object sought. So with beavenly success. INSTEAD OF HASH.

Public spirit is mostly lung power. A man’s riches are his children and they spend themselves. Corruptiqnists will stop buying votes when there is no more voting. A nice way never to disagree with your wife is not to have one. It would be pretty comfortable not to have a large family to support. A man with an automobile doesn’t have to be.a bachelor unless he wants to. After a man has run an automobile for a season he is no longer in the rich class. It would be a lot more fun marrying money if you could spend it with some- body else. Boys would learn a good deal more in school than they do if they got pun- ished for it. There is something about reform that gives those who do it mighty mean dispositions. It would make a trust man feel worse if the way the public abuses him cost him anything. When a man has a little money he pretends it is more than it is, and when a lot that it is less. A girl thinks she is mighty sweet to her mother for kissing her for bring- ing up her breakfast in bed. Young people come home from school for their vacation so as to go away again somewhere else for it. The needle in the haystack seems a good deal easier to find than the pub- lic official who is for the public. Hardly any woman could stand the monotony of life in small communities if there wasn’t so much scandal there. There's no use telling a girl she is pretty; to do the work you must tell her she is the prettiest one you ever saw. ! A man can get a good deal more ex- cited over a muifed fly at a baseball game than having his neighbor's house burn down. ‘When you see a woman painting up an old chair it's just as likely as not it is for the lawn. so that she can speak of it as the summer house. When a woman reads about the the packers dress beef it worries her terribly to think how bad it will be for the baby when it gets old enough to eat real food.—From ‘Reflections of a Bachelor” in the New York Press. SPARE THE WILD FLOWERS. to Those Who Destroy Because They Do Not Think. This is the season of the year when dwellers in cities and towns may be seen returning after holiday excursions, loaded down with flowers, leaves, and branches of trees, torn off from their stems by people who wish to carry away with them the heautiful things that nature so lav- ishly spreads abroad in the spring. To admire and to desire to possess these beautiful things is natural, yet to tear them down and carry them away shows a deplorable lack of thought. The least informed person, if willing to pause and think for a moment, knows very well that a few hours after the twig has been parted from its branch or the flower from its stem, twig and flower alike must lose all resemblance to the beautiful growing thing that inspired the wish for possession, and is no longer worth having. Thus, for the gratifi- cation of a passing impulse, one has destroyed a beautiful object that but for this hasty act might have given pleasure to other people for days or weeks. way An Appeal It is not uncommon to see people coming from the country laden with branches of dogwood for example, four feet long; lilacs are town down and defaced, and bunches of more ephemeral flowers like violets, but tercups and others are wilting in every hand. If people would recog- nize how fleeting is the gratification derived from this destruction of the flowers, and how selfish it is, they probably would not be guilty of it. A well regulated person does not— even if the opportunity occurs—de- stroy shrubbery in the public parks for the purpose of carrying away with him the flowers or branches. In towns and cities such an act is commonly regarded as an offence, and any one found guilty of it is likely to be punished, by a fine or otherwise. Yet, the principle is the same, whether the destruction is wrought in town or im country; but in the country the owner does not at- tempt to protect his shrubbery or his wild flowers, unless they are close to his house.—Forest and Stream.

Ask them what they need and the answer is the same: “Schools for the children they may become smart like man.” They are very affectionate people to so that the white their children; every benefit i T the child. The older people fully real- ize the fact that they represent the past. They have alwa been produc- ers, and their faith in themselves is half of the struggle that lies before them.

Ar- Greensburg, Pa., July 19.—Upon the completion of his sentence in the Alle- gheny county workhouse tor an at- tempted bunco game at the Hotel Lin- coln, Pittsburg, last winter James Riley was arresed by Deputy Sheriff Edward M. Kepple. He was brought to Greensburg and after waiving a hearing before Justice of the Peace J. Frank Beatty was sent to jail on a charge of forgery preferred by Attor- ney Harry E. Blank. Two years ago Riley came to Greensburg and put on record a deed transferring the farm of James Smith in Ligonier township ‘to himself. He applied to Mr. Blank for a lean of $4,000 and the money was furnished. The deed had on it what purported to be the signature and seal of Guy B. Flyte, a notary public of Ligonier. Smith read of the exchange >f property in Greensburg papers and, coming to the county seat, declared the signatures of himself and wife for- geries. The mortgage secured by Riley on the forged deed next turned up. Attorney Blank identified Riley following his arrest at the Hotel wuin- coln. A huge $1,500,000 deal, whereby the Pennsylvania railroad has purchased nearly 400 acres of land between Law- rence Junction and Moravia and will make great railroad yards, is announ- ced. The deal has been under way for some months, but the properties included have been so quietly pur- chased no intimation was received by the public until now. It is said the yards to be constructed will be among the largest in the United States and will be more than three miles in length. A novel feature of the Pennsylvania exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition will be a historical display, which will occupy a prominent place in the Penn- sylvania building, and is being pre- pared under the direction of Marion Dexter, Learned of the University of Pennsylvania and Albert Cook Myers of Kennett Square.- The purpose is to illustrate how the early settlement of Pennsylvania was extended into the Great Valley and the Piedmont region in Virginia, with especial at- tention to the influence of Pennsyl- vania in the making of the South. A warrant was issued by Alderman Moser, of Lancaster for David H. Locher, of Philadelphia, on a charge of embezzlement. The accused suc- ceeded his father, the late C. H. Locher, as president of the City Trust Company, of this city, in Oec- tober, 1904. Three months later the institution failed, owing depositors $1,000,000. The prosecutor in this suit, John Veit, of Columbia, alleges that three days before the bank clos- ed its doors he deposited $900, and claims Locher knew at that time that the bank was insolvent. David R. Locher, president of the Qity Trust Company of Lancaster, when that institution collapsed, today - waived a hearing and gave bail for trial at court on a charge of embezzle- ment preferred” by Benjamin Veit of Columbia. Veit charged that Locher received a $900 deposit from him after he knew the trust company was in- solvent. Similar suits were entered against Locher by Hiram EKhrhart and George E. Zellers of Lancaster. The hopes of many of the boomers of the Uniontown & Wheeling Short. Line railroad, which it has been pro- posed to build from: here through Greene county via Waynesburg and on to Wheeling, have gone glimmering. Options on valuable property were allowed to expire.
