2 SERMON - pY THE REV~ [RA V/ IENDERSoN Vf 5 Subject: Jesus the Teacher. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Wierfield street, on the theme ‘Jesus the Teacher,” the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Matt. 5:2;,- “And He opened His mouth and taught them.” He said: From the days of His youth when He put the wise men of the temple to shame-to those last hours among His disciples Jesus was a teacher. The teacher is the one who shows us how to do things, how to achieve, how to . attain. Mere theorists may tell us what we ought to do and be; con- vincingz talkers may tell us what the end of true effort is; strong preach- ers may tell why we should be thus and so; but to the teacher alone is given the task and the power to show to us how we may become what the- orists, talkers and preachers declare we ought to be. Fundamentally no teacher is of good report save his teaching comes from experience. The man who is to teach us how to do and become must, first of all, have attained. We can- not impart to others what we ‘do not know ourselves. Ignorance cannot enlighten. Jesus nad this rich per- sonal ®&xperience in spiritual things, and in the teaching of eternal prin- ciples of the spiritual life He is un- surpassed. This we will take for granted in our estimate of Jesus as a teacher. Let us consider some of the minor qualities which inhered to the preaching cf the Christ. Our Lord taught simply, searchingly, realisti- cally, purposefully, authoritatively. The teaching of Christ was simple. He did not try to mix matters or the mind of men with complex state- ments. Deeper than the sea, bound- less in their extent and scope, the truths which Jesus taught were yet simply told, were couched in the language of childhood, and under- standable to all. The simplicity of the teaching of Jesus is charming. The message of Christ does not be- come silly merely because it is sim- ple. It is not a message for the weak-minced. Ra.her is it a stay for those of the finest and the broad- est intellect. Strong and sensible in its simplicity the gospel of Christ reaches the hearts of all men. The teaching of Christ was search- ing. How He burned through sham and cant and hyprocrisy, and hit at the very vitals of sin. How often He whipped the gates off at the whited sepulchres, and revealed the hidden iniquity within. No wolf under sheepskin was safe near Jesus. Jesus didn’t take superficial glances; ‘He probed deep and to the bottom to reveal the covered truth or error as the case might be. With the water from the well Christ leads us to dis- cern the everlasting springs of eter- nal life. The good Samaritan is the example of mercy. The Pharisees and the scribes show us the folly of serving of the letter of the law for its own sake. The boy who grew faint, homesick, and went back into his father’s arms, is the type of us all. What could search out truth more finally than that story of a misspent life? ‘Lord, lord,” we hear men cry, and we know that the Christ life is not an affair of declar- ation so much as of doing. Jesus taught realistically. He did not go into metaphysics to explain His points, but out into the world. He didn’t pay much attention to philosophic language.” He had little time for the impractical. But how realistic He made the truth. Sin is exemplified in the erring son. Sel- fishness is shown in the elder broth- sr. The blowing wind is the illus- tration of the Spirit. The vine re- veals the essential union of Chris- tians with Christ. The two praying in the temple mark sharply the dif- ference between self-satisfaction and religious self-sufficiency, and the soul humble in its sense of guilt. That fellow who heaped money in his coffers and grain in his barns has a lesson for every one. What differ- ence does it make to you who and how many are the sinners forgiven, when once you grasp the import of the parable of the paying off of the men who laboréd in the vineyard? These are enough to show us how realistic was the teaching of Christ. He forced His_points home in the language of the fields, the temple, the streets, the firesides. His illus- trations dealt not with impossible situations but with daily occuriences whnich might easily be paralleled in the experience of each of His hear- ers. They knew how self-righteous the leaders of the people were. They had more than once seen a woman sweep her house in search of a coin. It was no new thing to learn that a shepherd would go out into the mountains leaving the flock behind to lend succor to some lost and lone- ly lamb. There were tares enough and sufficient mixed ground in Judea to enablz the farming element to see the point of the parables of the tares and the sower. They knew as well as we know the pervading principle of yeast. These and a multitude of other realistic illustrations in the teaching of Jesus gave charm to His words and filled His messages with power. And the preaching of men will lose all its freshness and efficien- cy just so soon as the element of the realistic which holds personal inter- ast is left out. Then, too, Jesus taught with pur- pose, with an end in view. He didn’t talk just to hear Himself talk. He did not engage in vocal gymnastics after the manner of so many speak- ers of this day and generation. He did not talk because there was ‘‘easy money” to be“made that way, or in order that He might get notoriety. On the contrary, Jesus talked pur- posefully. It meant danger for Jesus to take the stand He did. He ran many and great risks in the speak- — Ang of the truth. But the Master had : purpose. He wanted men to see ‘swhat sin is; how defiling it is; how disintegrating end disgusting its ef- wished humanity to see and to know that sin is disobe- dience to God; that it stains and soils the souls Hf men; that it wrecks and destroys all that is best in man; how useless it is. On the other hand, He wanted men to know what is the nature of God and His character; what is the King- dom of Heaven, its entrance—condi- tiongand the joys to be attained there- in; what is the glory of a godly life. Christ wanted to assure men that God is love; He wished them to know that the Kingdom of Heaven is pres- ent, as well as future, a kingdom of the Spirit and over-ruling all mate- rial life. Jesus had ‘a purpose. Therefore He pictured the new birth to men as the entrance requirement for the Heavenly Kingdom and the joys of eternal life with God. Jesus had a purpose to show men God, sin, redemption, the kingdom. Having a deep and fixed purpose, He taught convincingly from a convicted life. In the last place, Jesus taught as one having authority. Mark tells us that at the synagogue at Capernaum the Jews were astonished at the teaching of Jesus—that is to say, they were almost struck dumb. Con- trary to the scribes, Jesus talked with authority. = Speaking from his own intimate, personal knowledge of the truth and power of His message Jesus asked the aid and witness of no man to prove His points. The scribes cited precedent as justification for their legalism. Jesus spoke truth under the influence of the Spirit of God. The scribes rested their case on external authorities; Jesus had the witness of the Spirit of His own life. The Pharisees made tradition the test; Christ made the Spirit. It is no wonder that they were aston- ished. The gulf is wide between the sanctions of tradition and the sanc- tion of the Spirit. Traditions choke the truth; the Spirit giveth.life. The hope and strength of worn-out the- ories is tradition and it is the chief enemy of the Spirit. No man of sense will, of course, break with the past merely through perverseness. On the other hand, no one should allow the fallacies of the past to deaden a higher life now. To the past all honor: for the present the things of to-day, the hopes and visions of to- IMOTrow. The application is easy. mulgation of the truth should be simple. The teachings of Jesus should be applied searchingly to all life in this day. Our method of pre- sentation should be realistic, not ab- struse, that men may feel and grasp and hold the truth. There ought to be no lack of purpose in our teach- ing of the way unto eternal life. We tell mén, or we should, the Gospel story not to amuse them, but to save. their immortal souls. And lastly, and most important of all, we must teach with authority—not dogmat- ically “or narrowly—but with sureness that comes from spiritual experience. fects are. He Our pro- Calm the Imagination. You will tell me that calmness of the imagination does not depend on ourselves. Pardon me, it de- pends very much on ourselves. When we cut off all the uneasy thoughts in which the will has a share, we greatly diminish those which are in- voluntary. God will watch over your imagination if you do not keep up the disturbance by your scrupulous reflections. Abide in peace. Do not listen to your imagination, which is too lively and too full of fancies. This ex- cessive activity consumes your body, and dries up your -inward life. You are preying upon yourself uselessly. It is merely your restlessness which hinders peace and interior grace. How can you expect God to speak in that gentle and inward voice which melts the soul, when you are mak- ing so much voice with your rapid reflections. Be silent, and God will speak agzain.—Fenelon. The Living Hope. “The risen Christ is the hope of the believer—Christ, not in the heavens, but in the heart. And this hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that with- in the veil. There is saving power in this hope, for it is not a theory or dogma or experience, but a Divine Personality, even Jesus, the Fore- runner, who has for us entered the upper sanctuary, and: taoere ‘ever liveth to make intercession for us, and hath begotten us unto a living hope by His resurrection from the ‘dead.”’—Pittsburg Christian Advo- cate. The Spiritual Magnet. That great magnet, with its metal frame and its coil of wire, and that strange magnetic power, reaches out and takes hold of those little pieces of metal, between which and itseld there is an affinity, and it gives them some of its power through the con- tact. Christ is the Great Spiritual Life Magnet, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me,” and faith in Him puts us in spiritual affinity with Himself, and through it He holds us to Himsell and gives us power of His power, and purity of His purity, and character of His character, and life of His life. ee ern Fulfilling the Plan. The engineer of the Brooklyn bridge was confined to his bed when it was in process of construction Day after day, looking from his win- dow, he saw its piers rise and the spider's web of cables cunningly formed. It had all been planned and held in his mind's eye; and when it was finished, being asked how it looked, he said, “It is precisely what I expected it to be.” Oh, would that Christ might be able to say the same of us; that our life and character are according to His plans and pur- poses! We Belong to God. We may throw ourselves away, but God will not throw us away. We belong to Him still, and He ‘‘gath- ereth up the fragments which re- main, that nothing be lost.” In or- der to become pure, we may need sharp suffering, and then God will not hesitate to inflict it. It is thus that God’s love for the soul and its worth appear eminently, in that He will not let us destroy ourselves.— James Freeman Clarke. the’ WOMEN; mers =~ 4 . THEIR THEIR.ART.

There is a movement on foot in England to have the wife adopt her husband's name; but at the same time keep her own. Miss Mary Cot- ton then would become Mrs. Cotton- Sparks, and so on. This would give her friends an idea of her identity as her father’s daughter, which is often lost after marriage.—Chicago Daily News. A TELEPHONE REBUKE. “Some one ought to publish a book on telephone etiquette,” said the so- ciety matron at a recent dinner, “for most people seem to be totallly de- void of manners over the ‘phone. I have found a way, however, to pun- ish those who think it is your fault when central gives them the wrong number. Whenever they get angry and become discourteous, I simply inform them that they have got ‘The Morgue.” The little catch of their breath as they beg central to give them the right number is as good as music to me."—New York Times. YELLOW AND RED BARRED. A young woman named Fraulein Hollda, the daughter of a local mag- {strate of Gross-Buttyn, a town in Hungary, was recently arrested in the street for wearing a yellow and red striped silk skirt. The police say that they have orders to remove anything publicly displayed which bears the Rumanian colors—yellow and red. The young woman was requested to remove her skirt in the street, but she indignantly refused to do so. A large crowd gathered, and the police escorted Fraulein Hollda to her father’s house, where the offending skirt was removed and taken away by the.guardians of pub- lic order. WOMEN AS FLOORWALKERS. Women are fast replacing men as shopwalkers in millinery and dress shops. ¥*n the large and fashionable West End drapers’ establishments the tall, imposing, frock coated man still reigns supreme as shop sentry, but in the smaller shops all over London the woman “walker” is rap- idly gaining ground. It costs much less to employ femi- nine shopwalkers, and it is said that a woman establishes more friendly and confidential relations with the customers than is possible in the case of a man. By reason of this in- timacy she can offer very valuable advice to the proprietors as to the class of goods which are popular with the customers.—London Daily Mail. : RICK-RACK. Ten or fifteen years bvack woman was utilizing the flat, wavy rick-rack braid for trimming waists or to adorn some bit of fancy work. This season her daughter is following her example, but, as usual, with a difference. In its revival rick-rack braid is used in combination with a colored embroidery to make a showy decora- tion. The braid, which is generally white, is used to outliné bold and conventional figures, cross-bars, seed- ing or French knots, done in one or two contrasting tones of heavy silk or floss. and the embroidery stitches are done in white on a ‘colored pillow. he braid should be securely tacked on the points, the stitches being quite long on the under side.—New Haven Register. avery SLEEP AN AID TO LOOKS. Sleep is a great preserver of youth. Eight hours at night and nap during the day will do much to keep the face free from wrinkles. Always sleep with the bedroom win- dow open a few inches at the top, both in summer and winter. A daily morning bath, tepid in winter and cold in summer, with a brisk rub to follow, will keep th skin fresh and clear. Two hours must be spent in the open air, walking, riding or play- ing games. All tight clothing, and especially tight lacing, must be avoided, as compression disturbs the circulation and is often the cause of enlarged veins and red noses. A celebrated woman, who was fa- mous even in her old age for her beautiful, clear complexion and free- dom from wrinkles, once was per- suaded to tell the secret of her youth- ful looks. The answer was simple. Abstinence had been the rule of her life. No tea, coffee or stimulant of any kind. To keep well drink lem- onade or water, eat apples, grapes and figs regularly. Take the raw juice of a lemon every other day. Never fail to walk regularly. Bathe freely.—New York Journal.

OYAMA'S WIFE AS A NURSE. Perhaps the first portrait of Mar- quise Ovama, the wife of the famous Japanese Field Marshal who drove the Russian army out of Manchuria, that has reached this country shows her in the uniferm of an army nurse. It needs a second glance to assure the observer that the face under the white mob cap with the tiny cross on the band really is Japanese. The features have the characteristics of her race, but not markedly, and the expression is so much more intelli- gent than that of the average doll- like daughter of the-Mikado that one in haste might easily mistake her for a European, if not for an American. Her eyes slant only slightly and the arched brows are almosc horizontal. The nose is slim and straight, the lips are moderate and the whole face pleasingly oval. Her jetty hair is smoothed away behind her ears, which are innocent of rings.or pendants. She is not a beautiful woman, even judged by Oriental standards, but hers is an agreeable countenance and gives the impres- sion she would make an entertaining acquaintance and a stanch friend. In her snowy cap, blouse and skirt of prim simplicity she looks like a woman who would brave all things for duty’s sake. The Marquise is one of the most popular women in Japan, say travelers, and her services to the Government in the course of the war with Russia were as excellent in their way as were those of her hus- band in the field. One need not be a fanatic over persons and things Japanes2 to appreciate the worth of a woman who lays aside the luxury of high station to tend the wounded in hospital and camp.—New York is Embroidery is more lavishly used i this season than ever in Paris. Many of the handsome cloth suits are being copied in the heavy linens. Little capes of silk or cloth to match costumes are very much in order. Jeweled conspicuous mings. There is a sort of red khaki that comes out when elaborated with needlework, but which has no beauty in itself. and ornaments are millinery trim- pins among Fine silk and lisle stockings in plain colors exactly matching are correct for wear with the pumps and low shoes. Yards of shimmering ribbons flut- ter over the gauzy fabrics of evening zowns, and the dainty beauty of each is enhanced by the near association of the other. Notwithstanding there are thou- sands of other pretty white materials for waists, is there really anything quite so delightiul to wear as linen? or any which launders so well? In New York City strings of beads are very much in favor for wear with both high and low necked gowns, even she who is in mourning wearing her string of graduated dull beads. Among the hosts of lovely things in the way of necklaces, perhaps there is none lovelier than the straight high dog-callar of pearls supported at intervals by diamond bars. : The little white bows to be worn at the throat have all-along been in far greater demand than those of color, but just recently everybody has commenced to buy the silk bows of color. ABBATH SCHOOL LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM- MENTS FOR JULY 21 BY THE REV. I. WW. HENDERSON. Subject: The Ten Commandments, Duties Toward Men, Ex. 20:12- 17—Golden Text: Lev. 19:18— Memory Verses, 12-17 The commandments that impress upon us our duties toward humanity are the corollaries of the command- ments that tell us of our obligations toward God. We are ordsred to have a lasting love and reverence for God not only because it-is a good thing to love God for His own sake, but also because it is necessary that we shall be ready to learn from Him how He desires His children to be treated. This lesson deals with out relation- ships to men, individually and col- lectively, in the light of our alle- gidnce to God. The fifth command, which enjoins proper respect to our earthly parents, is the basis upon which all social life is'reared. The sense of authority in the home and of obedience to paren- tal control supplies the ground upon which all sane and sound civil gov- ernments rests. It rests, to be sure, on other principles. But it rests hard on this. And the willingness upon the part of the child to yield obedience to the authority of the par- ent implies that the parent shall be worthy of recognition and. that the authority of the parent shall be wise and sensible and intelligent, a control fashioned after thesovereignty which God exercises in the world and over humanity. = An obedient child pre- supposes a parent who is worthy to be obeyed. And many times parents lose sight of this utterly. A child cannot be expected to obey an unrea- sonable parent. We are under no ob- ligation to have respect for parents who have no respect for themselves. God does not call upon a child to have love for a parent, in filial fash. ion, who renders no meed of love to the child that parent has brought into this world. A child is not called upon to stifle its own individuality and conform itself to the parental pattern in every minute detail of its life. And yet some people seem to think that their children are not hon- oring them simply because they re- fuse to be run into a prearranged family mold. Honoring one’s par- ents does not consist in allowing them to order one to do wrong, or in allowing them to force one to do un- reasonable things. Honor to one’s parents consists in giving them due and careful obedience along every line that properly belongs to a par- ant's rights. And most of all it en- tails upon the part of the parent that he or she, as the case may be, shall be worthy of honor and wise and in- telligent in the matter of command- ment and control. “Thou shalt not kill’ enjoins the 3ixth commandment. And you must not only not kill your brother, but also you must not take your own life. [t further means that the nations shall cease international murder and that civil government shall cease to execute human beings, no matter what their crimes may have been. It means also that it is murder to sell adulterated medicine, to sell whisky or any other poison, to work men and women and children to death, or to be a party to any form of murder, be it long or short in its action, ‘be it refined or vicious. The seventh commandment is es- pecially in need of enforcement. No pne who is at all solicitous about the welfare of this country can contem- plate the marital infelicities that are 30 widespread and numerous in America without a feeling of pro- found fear for the harvest that soon- er or later we shall reap as.a nation except we are able to put a stop to the criminality that is rampant in our midst. Humanity cannot long trifle with the highest and holiest relations of human life’ without reaping the whirlwind. The divorce record of America is America’s disgrace. Her record of remarriages of men and women who, in the eyes of God and a decent society, are not entitled to re- marriage is America’s shame. And these twin evils are a menace to the health and perpetuity of the nation. Some very eminent gentlemen— some of whom rent pews in high- toned churches and who are among the officiary of the organized church of Jesus Christ — are to-day under the condemnation of the eighth com- mandment. For stealing may be va- riously committed. 1t is not neces- sary to become a common pickpocket in order to be a common thief. It is not necessary to lay one's self open to conviction under the provisions of the penal code in order to be a robber of the vilest type. The worst crimin- als in this land to-day are the”ones who are out of jail. The ninth word of God to Moses and Israel hits the liars. And the liars are among the meanest people in the world and among those who are denied entrance into the new Jerusalem of God. The liar is one of the hardest problems with which hu- manity is called upon to deal. You may count on an honest man, but a liar is an unknown quantity. And lying is a habit. Rather I should say it tends to become a habit. One lie invites another. And the worst of the lie is that sooner or later it so destroys the integrity of the liar that he doesn’t know what he honestly thinks or what the truth really is composed of. The people who are indicated by the tenth commandment are among the world's unfortunates very oftenj They merit our pity. Jealousy is unmitigated curse to the man who falls into its grasp. God help thd people who arebitten with the veno sting of jealousy. They are indeed cursed. SAVE LINEN COLLARS. When the men of the house put aside their old collars don’t throw them "into the rag bag, into a shoe box. Keep the box where you can reach it at a moment's no- tice, so when there is a cut finger or some other accident happens you will have a little store of nice, clean linen ready for use. but remove, the fine linen and after washing put: EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS SUNDAY, JULY 21. Poverty in Spirit. Matt. 5: 4. Psa. bH1: 12; Luke Passages for reference: Yi: Prov..16: 19: Matt. 23. 18: 28-30: 1 Pet. 5: 5. The Jewish Church had long been trained for the victorious Messiah. The teackings had been colored by materialism, and so the leaders look- ed for a temporal king. Jesus at the start attempted to win and use this splendid organization. Their jealousy, opposition to his teaching, and as a final occasion their bitterness-at the healing of the withered hand on the Sabbath, led Jesus to recognize the necessity of a new church. He then selected the twelve disciples and gave them the Sermon on the Mount as the constitution of the new organiza- tion, the basis for the kingdom over which he was to rule. It dealt with the character (Matt. 5: 1-12) and in- fluence (Matt. 5: 13-16) of the citi- zens, the new law (Matt. 5: 17-48) and the new life (Matt. 6: 7-29) of the kingdom. Luke's shorter account (Luke 6: 20-49) was either an ab- breviation, another discourse, the points that impressed his mind; on the subject-matter he deemed necessary for his purpose in presenting a brief complete life of Jesus. The rich man has so many Inter- ests and can command so many plea- sures and comforts that he often neg- lects or forgets his spiritual life. The hunger is nevertheless there, and will arouse at the sight of God's man- na. We too generally neglect him. There are plenty of wealthy Zac: cheuses who will as gladly welcome Jesus to their house-and heart as the first one, if they are shown where they may find him. But the poor hear him gladly, because they ‘have so many deprivations and felt needs. The independent, self-sufficient spirit is, when people are poor, not so bols- tered and fed by material things. Such ones feel their dependence— hence the word “poor,” “needy,” “des- titute of wealth or influence,’ is used. So we must feel poor, be hungry of spirit, if God is enabled to supply us with that which will make us blessed. We must recognize and cultivate our spiritual hunger, which only God can satisfy, if we are to get heaven's blessings. Then, however, the prom- ise, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled,’ is ours. This filling makes possible and natural the fruits of the Spirit. “Love, joy, peace” are for personal satisfaction. “Longsuffering” and ‘‘gentleness” en- able us to win, harmonize with and help others. “Goodness, faith, meek- ness and temperance’ are jewel-like traits that crown our character. Spir- itual teachableness and searching bring us heaven's marks and joys. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES JULY TWENTY-FIRST. applications of the last six Commandments. Ex, 20: 12-17.

Long life is not to be the object of our hororing of father and mother; if it is, it will not be the result. The wish that another were dead is a murder in the eyes of God. Sometimes one can bear false wit- ness against one’s neighbor by sil- ence as well as speech. No commandment so enters the se- cret places of one’s heart as the commandment not to covet. This is the most Interior of the Command- ments. Of all the practices of Christian nations the hardest to reconcile with the Commandments is. the defended and glorified practice of war. The eighth Commandment con- demns the theft of time, and happi- ness, and good name, as well as of money. Doubtless the is most often broken one. Man's law can forbid idolatry, pro- fanity and other sins, but only God’s law can forbid covetousness. Illustrations. Place poison in a spring to-day and expect to gather it up to-morrow, but do not expect to follow and gather up the poison of a malicious word. Covetousness is idolatry: the thing coveted is the idol, and self is always the pedestal.
