p? THE SERMON THE REV~ : haw HEN DERSONN Subject: The New Note. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weir- field street, on the theme, “The Church’s New Note,” the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Mark 12:30: “Thou .shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.” He said: The adaptability of the Gospel is wonderful. In every epoch and in every age wherever the truth-of God 1s it has been revealed in Jesus Christ has been preached, it has been found o'be a fit guide for the leading of the minds and hearts and souls of men, a true solvent for the evils of the epoch and the age in which it has peen declared. Always it has pos- sessed a message that has been pe- zuliarly adaptable to the individual and social iniquities and to the indi- vidual and social spiritual yearnings and. necessities of the society to whici {ft has been proclairzed. When in apostolic times the preciousness of budding human life was discounted and largely unrecognized the vitaliz- ing. Gospel of Jesus Christ revealed the beauty and the value of life it- self. When in the ante-Reformation Jars the truth was endangered 1y the egrettable unwisdom of the ecclesi- astical authorities of that day and time the compelling Gospel of Jesus opened wide the treasury of written :ruth that had been preserved in all its fragrance through the ceiituries and a new era for ankind began. As in those times so throughout Christerydom it has been. Whatever may have been the sins, the spiritual yearnings, the mode of thought, the manner of expression, of any genera- tion, the Gospel has always adapted itself and been found humanly adapt- able to the sins, the yearnings, the thoughts, the terminology of the period. Every revival in Christian history, especially in the history of the last four hundred years, has had jts peculiar message, adaptable to ihe sins, the yearnings, the spiritual 1eeds, the thought and the terminol- pgy of the time in which it has been preached. Historians tell us. that when in the days of Jonathan Ed- wvards—days in which. Christianity was largely legalistic in thought and speech—the fiery prophet of the liv- ing God wished to bring men into an spen realization and confession of :heir sinfulness and their accounta- bility to God he preached: them ser- mons on the essential fact and neces- sity of Divine sovereignty; and with burning zeal declared to humanity, as God gave him opportunity to sow the seed of His truth, the wisdom of yielding self into the control of the Divine Ruler of the universe. Wesley preached the truth of the freedom of the will to a nation to whom freedom was life. “Whosoever will may come” was not all the Gospel then, nor is it all the Gespel now; but it is the lever of truth by which men in the days of that great revivalist were most guickly turned to love and serve God. We are face to face with another great world-wide revival. We are in the midst of it. It may not be rec- ognized in some quarters and it may be blinked in others. Many men refuse to recognize it or they may fail to have the insight to perceive it, but it is here none the less. Evidencing itself within the church it is express- ing itself more largely perhaps out- side of the church than within it. Men are Gospel-hardened to the messages of yesterday. Not that they disdain Christ, but because the pro- clamations of the past have lost, through perfunctory familiarity with them, the power to cut deep into their souls. The edge of the truth has become dulled for them. It needs to be brought to the tempering fire of a flaming truth that shall startle and attract men. It must be laid hard on the wheel of a compelling Divine ver- ity that shall put an edge on all that has become dulled. The preaching of Edwards will not do it, the oratory of Wesley will not do it, the burning messages of Finney will not do it, the declaration of God’s love in the mouth of Moody will not do it. These are our places of departure. The truth that these men have declared, the men-we-are-after know. We must vitalize that dormant truth by flinging a new message into their souls. We must warm the chilled embers of their own religious ex- periences with the blaze of a modern message that, having its inspirations in the historic Christ, shall be in- dwelt of His presence and energized of His spirit for a special ministry to-day. Men know that God is sov- ereign; they know that the human will is free, for are they not exercis- -ing it against God every day? They know that personal responsibility personal sin or decency is inescapa- ble; they know that God is love. We do not need to prove these things to _ them most insistently. What we need to do is to proclaim before them a new note from the old Anthem of God’s revelation of His truth and Himself in Jesus Christ that shall find a correlative note in their own souls and lead them back into har- mony with the age-long chorus of the redeemed of God. It is the business of the church of Jesus Christ to strike this note and to assume leadership. Granted that these remarks be true, what then shall be our new note? What note shall we strike? What word of God shall be our watch- word? What text in the Scriptures .shall epitomize our thought? About what idea shall our preaching re- volve? In my humble judgment the text which shall epitomize the mes- sage of the new revival is that which is to be found as indicated in the text for this evening in the Gospel according to St. Mark, the 12th cap- ter and the 30th verse: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.” And the idea that shall crystallize our thinking shall be the conception of human love for God. As the basis of .Moody’s evangel was | 1 nal hereafter. for. the love of God for men, so, I verily believe, ere we shall do the work for Jesus that we desire to perform, we must declare, with insistency and with cumulative force, the dignity, the wisdom, the fairness, the efficacy of human love for God. The .trouble with us to-day is not that we do not know that God loves us. The trouble is that men do not love God. The evil which afflicts us can only be cured by- the exercise of a controlling and vitalizing ,love for God, such a love as shall mellow and beautify the souls of men. The in- iquity which scourges us now and torments us would not be if, in the past, men had loved God. A thor- oughgoing love for God will make evil conditions in this world as im- possible as they will be in the new Jerusalem hereafter. The golden rule has failed to accomplish its mis- sion, not “because it is not a truth, but because it is only half a truth, as it is popularly used-.to-day. The second commandment is a safe guide for our rule and practice through life only when it is correlated with that primarycommandment whichourLord enunciated as at the logical centre of the moral and spiritual realities. The golden rule is not enough of a guide for us as we travel toward the undis- covered country. We must be more than moral if ave “desire happiness here and hope to enter into joy eter- The gelden rule must be vitalized by the living first princi- ple of the kingdom of God . The trou- ble with the world is that men have been altogether too well satisfied to do and be done by, as God never in- tended they should. See for a mo- ment how this half truth” works in practice. You and'I dre on the Stock Exchange. You are satisfied that if by trickery or falsification or by the spreading of dangerous reports, true or untrue, I can ruin you, I may do so, provided I afford you equal oppor- tunity to do _the-same-te=me. You and 1 are trading horses. It is all right for, you 16. fleece me with my eyes open so long asl am permitted to fleece vou in the same manner. You and I are in business. It is proper for me to steal your trade, provided you have an equal oppor- tunity to steal mine. Of course this meets a modern interpretation of the golden rule, which says, “Whatsoever ye are willing that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.” But how grievously it violates the spirit of Christ's law. The principle of the business world too largely is this, that it is all right for one dog to eat the other, because they have agreed that it shall be fair to play the industrial and commercial game that way. “Thou shalt love - thy neighbor as thyself,” we are told. But when this law is separated from The correlated truth that Christ de- lared, and transplanted alone into Fos lives of multitudes of men to-day, we understand what an awful half- truth it has become. In all seriousness, I do not desire that some men shall love me in the way they love themselves, outside of Christ. I do not care to practice the golden rule as to-day it is promulgat- ed in our social life, outside of Jesus Christ, or to have it so practiced upon me. For some men have no compre- hension of their own value and the demands of their own integrity upon their lives; and how, therefore, can they appreciate the value of the lives, the minds, the hearts, the souls, the peace and purity and happiness of their fellow men? Some men have such a small estimate, themselves, judged by the way they treat themselves, that we should be untrue to ourselves did we not resent like treatment by them of us. Some men have such a debased idea con- cerning what is right for men to do unto them that they cannot be ex- pected to know, unless the grace of God inform them, what they should do to their fellows. The message for our own time, the appeal of to-day, must be based on the text I have read. Its theme must be the love of man for.God. Loving God, we shall conserve the interests of our own personalities and gain a divine value of our own worth to God and to the world. ‘Loving God, we shall know the value of our brethren. Do you suppose for an instant that men would have the audacity to pub- lish declarations that they were only worth a paltry couple of hundred mil- lions if they really loved God as God means they should? Do you suppose for an instant that they would boast that they can buy legislatures and judges and the government, if they loved God as Jesus loved Him? If we loved God as Jesus means we should, do you suppose that we would stand for child labor, with all its hor- rors and cruelties; for the saloon as it is, ‘with all its fruitage of vice and crime and misery and poverty and despair? If we loved God as Jesus means we should, have you the slightest suspicion that we would per- mit women by the thousands to be sent into the brothel in economic self- defense? If men loved God, would it be thinkable that they would mur- der and rape, and steep themselves in drunkenness, in bestiality and crime? Do you think that if we could get men to love gots they would not have again a liv con- sciousness of His a as Ed- wards declared it, and of their free will to do the right as Wesley de- clared it, and of their personal re- sponsibility as Finney declared it, and of their indebtedness to divine love as Moody declared it? I think not. The new note of the church will be the love of men for Ged. For it is the second logical step in the scheme of redemption in Christ. God in Christ hath already loved men, and now loves them. It is for them to reciprocate His love. The new message must be the central truth of the kingdom of God on its manward side. We must lead men to love God. Then shall we reach them. Getting men to love God, we shall transform the individual character; we shall regenerate society; we shall make wars to cease and all nations throughout all the earth to dwell in righteous and godly fraternal rela- tionships... The task is great. But it is not impossible. The means and the method we shall discuss at an- other time. But when we shall have gotten men to love the living God, ‘then shall we hear a voice out of Heaven saying unto us, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall he His people, and God Himselt shall be with them, their God.” seemingly, of- Poultry and Fruit Growing. ‘A combination of fruit growing and poultry raising is especially rec- ommended in a bulletin from the Pennsylvania Department of Agricul- ture. Locate the poultry houses if pessible so that the runs will be in the orchard. The fowls will destroy thousands of harmful insects, thus greatly benefiting the trees<and in- creasing the prospects for fruit and the fowls will at the same time gain great comfort and benefit by the pro- tecting 'sliade of the trees. Plum trees and cherry trees are especially benefited by the presence of fowls about their roots. Peach trees will grow most rapidly and soonest give an abundant shade.—Weekly ~Wit- NESS. : ili The Family Horse.

Experience, that grim, practical teacher, has many a time and oft proven that the most expensive, most unsatisfactory, most absurd and most inartistic fence yct invented is that blot on any landscape called a picket or paling fence. Its first cost is always astound- ing to the inexperienced because of the unexpectedly great amount of lumber necessary to encompass even a small lot. Combined with this is the exasperatingly slow daily prog- ress and heavy account caused by the skilled labor that must be utilized in its erection.

How to Grow Large Onions. It is the ambition of every cultivat- or to raise large onions. The only way of growing them to an immense size is to start the plants indoors and set the seedlings in the open when the ground becomes tillabie. In this way one can raise onions as large as the Bermuda and Spanish varieties. In fact, many of the so-called im- ported onions are nothing more than home-grown bulbs produced by this method. The variety known as Prize- taker does not look unlike the Span- ish type and it is equal to it in mild- ness, flavor, size and color. Good seed should be secured and sown ear- ly in boxes in the greenhouse or hot- bed. When a hotbed is used the boxes are not necessary, although they to the field before removed. The seed must the plants are be sown rather thickly in rows a half inch deep and three inches apart. When the seed- lings are large enough thin them to stand half an inch apart in the row so ‘that ‘stocky plants will be duced. The soil in the seedbed should be very rich and cf a light texture to insure a rapid, unchecked growth. In growing the plants give them plenty of air. but do not allow them to become chilled during the early stages of growth. If they are kept too warm they become drawn and spindling and never make a satisfac- tory growth during the summer. When the weather settles prepare a rich bed in the garden and put the plants in in rows from twelve to fif- teen inches apart. Plants should be four or five inches in the rows. Some stable manure ought to be incorporated with the soil by plowing or spading it in. Chicken manure makes an excellent top-dressing when it is lightly Yaked in before setting the plants.

The most important thing after the plants begin to grow is frequent cul- tivation to keep the weeds down and the surface soil loose. While many of the other large growing varieties may be raised in this way the Prize- taker stock is the one most likely to give satisfaction.—Indianapolis News. Feeding- a Horse. We go to France for good horses, and following is from “the Petit Jour- nal Agricole, of France, on how -to feed good- horses: “Three meals are with an interval .of four to keep a horse in gocd condition. Oats take at least two hours to digest; hay takes three hours, and because it takes so long to digest it should be given when the day’s work is over. The evening meal should be a full meal, the animal being then at rest and able to digest its food at leisure. There should bé aminterval of half an hour-between the return of the horse to the stable and his Setang is even. ing meal. “Too much food at a meal or too long abstinence between meals, fol- lowed by voracious feedings, is con- ducive to colic and indigestion... -Ir- rezularly fed, his impatience by letting his hoofs play about the woodwork of his stall. ‘refreshers’ at odd times is also bad. Remember: that both stom- ach and bladder should never be load- ed in work time, whether light or heavy work is done. A horse, there- fore, should not be ridden or driven immediately after a meal, on the same principle that it ought noc to be fed sooner than half an hour after work is over. Between one end of the year and another a horse con- sumes the amount of dry heating food which calls for a special regi- men to neutralize the excessive pro- tein consumption that has taken place. Thus in autumn a ration of carrots given before the evening meal of oats is good, and so in the spring, at the fall of the winter coat, a little ground meal is beneficial, mixed with hay and oats, for the evening Another maxim much disre- garded in practice is that the horse should be watered long before being put to work, and then very sparing- Iv.” Farm Notes.

It is well also to note that on the cold side generally —the north and west—is the place to set the very hardiest trees. Among them birch; poplar-and willow rank first. The birch is one of the hardiest of all trees and may be planted very close as a wind break.

In Fun He Sent a Cable Message to Emperor Napoleon. “The story of Billy Holtbam’s costly joke illustrates that the laugh is not always on the side of the joker,”’ said W. B. Bassett, an old time telegraph operator to a reporter of the Kansas City Star. ‘The incident occurred a short time after the Civil War, when Holt- ham was’ assistant operator in Den. ver, Col. In those days two operat- ors did all the work of the Denver office. Holtham opened the office one morning, took the daily paper and began reading about the war Dbe- tween Germany and France. All at once the desire to perpetrate a prac- tical joke seized upon him. Taking the pencil from his pocket he indited the following cablegram upon one of the office blanks: “To the Emperor Napoleon, Garden of the Tuilleries, Paris, France: Colo- rado will not accede to the cession of Germany to France. Please let Gov. Gilpin: or ary other man.’ “Holtham ealled up Omaha and sent the cable to’ the man on duty ‘there, just as he would have sent a bona fide cablegram. “Omaha was the repeating office for all Eastern business. © Holtham then tore wp his copy and threw the remains in the waste-basket. Then he. sat down and laughed. He sup- posed that the man on-duty in Omaha would, of -ecourse, see the joke and after laughing himself over it would throw his copy into-the waste basket. But the Omaha operator was who took everything seriously and hanging the cablegram on the New York hook thought nothing. more about it. “This” happened about the middle of the month and nothing more was heard of the fateful cablegram until about the middle of the following month, when Mr. Woodward, the Denver manager of the Western Union office, received the following mdssage ‘from ‘the. secretary of the cable company in New .York: ‘Please come down with dust.’ “Woodward "scratched his head, but could not solve the enigma, and replied: ** ‘Don’t understand your message about dust. Please explain.’ “ ‘In due time an answer ceived, saying: “* “Your cablegram to Emperor Na- poleon, Garden of the Tuilleries, Paris, I'rance, signed Governor Gilpin cr any other man, $187.50 in gold, please remit.’ ‘“‘At this juncture Billy Holtham stepped in, and, pushing the message toward him, Woodward remarked: “ ‘What do you suppose that New York idiot means by that?’ *‘Holtham read it. and, turning pale, blurted out: ‘Why, I sent that thing to Omaha as a joke, supposing the man receiving it there would see the point and throw his copy into the waste basket as I did with mine. ‘“ “Joke!” replied Woodward, an- grily. ‘Do you understand that gold is now worth just two to one and the cost of your little joke is $3752’ “Manager Woodward wrote a letter to the cable authorities explaining the matter to them and asking that the cablegram be cancelled, but they were inexorable and demanded pay- ment in full. At that time cable- rams were enormously high and payable in gold at that. The result was that poor Holtham had to make the amount good and the telegraph company permitted him to pay $50 a month until the whole sum was paid. Fortunately operators were then paid $125 a month salary, and it was not as hard upon Hcltham to li- quidate the obligation as it would be upon a telegrapher at the present day, ‘with salaries so greatly reduced. “The late Edward Rcsewater, who was manager of the West Union of- fice at Omaha when the incident took place, secured copies of the cable- gram and of all the correspondence relating thereto, and put the whole thing in a frame, and it is -no doubt somewhere among his collection of telegraphic curiosities.” the was Ire- i Berlin Bars Billboards. 3illboards are prohibited ‘in Ber: lin, but public advertising is con- fined to neat pillars on the edge of the sidewalk at the principal street corners These columns (called “Litfass Saeulen,” after the -origin- ator) are twelve feet high and threa feet in diameter, the exterior having an advertising surface of from eleven to twelve square metres.

At that date there were 700 columns already erected, and the number was at once to be materially increased. The city may use the columns for storing utensils for street-cleaning and sand for use in the streets, for switeh apparatus, for public electric lights and meters for electric street railways, ete.
