AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. B. J. NEWMAN. Subject: Our Four Anchors. - Brooklyn, N. Y.—In Unity Ohidreh; un- day morning, the Rev. B. J. Newman preached. -The text was: “And fear- ing lest we should have fallen upon the rocks they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for the day.” He said: . The text is taken from Paul’s story of the shipwreck. Paul was going to Rome to be tried for his life, but on the sea a storm raged for two weeks. In the darkness of the dead of night, not knowing where they were, the sailors on watch heard the sound of water breaking on the rocks and they took soundings. And again they took their soundings and finding that the water was shallower, they threw out four anchors ‘and wished for the day.” We do not have to be sail- ors to know the valut of these an- chors to the storm assailed men on that ship. They held them to their anchorage until light came and they could see their way, . My purpose this morning is to con- sider briefly the anchors of righteous- ness that we need in our daily living. The simplest analysis of qur present day life; of one week’s experience, would show that there are a dozen influences outside ourselves and two dozen temptations within us that are storming our righteousness. We are surrounded on all sides by difficulties. Our honor, our justice, our sympa- thies, our religion, all are assailed, and we have got to protect ourselves and our fellow men. Take the first day of the working week and look at the experiences we meet with in that day. We go to business, and funda- menially the principle to-day upon which business seemed to be based is that of dishonor. It is not ‘‘honor all men.’ It is not trust all men, but it is distrust your fellow man; “put ‘him under bonds.” Only the other day in the Sunday school I said to the young men and women there: “Be honest; tell the truth,” and one member came to me and said: “How can we be honest? We have to lie.” There is a tendency in the life of men to-day to get ahead, no matter what happens to the other man. Or on Tuesday we read in the paper that some bankers to whom the funds of the people had been entrusted, and on which the stability of business men depends, and to whom the mon- ey of widows and .children has been entrusted, have been dishonest and speculated in the stock market to in- crease their own incomes, and have failed. Our confidence is assailed, and we say: ‘Whom can. we trust?” On Wednesday, perhaps, we go to a magistrate’s court and we watch the man who is elected to dispense jus- tice in your name, and we see case af- ter case where the politician’s influ- ence is at work or where the petty bribe is at work, and men and boys that have broken our law, and ‘who should be put in our prisons until they learn what it is to live among their fellow men in righteousness, are discharged and go free. Our sense of justice is shocked. Or per- haps it is some man in a higher rank of life who takes the life of another, who comes into our courts, and under the plea of insanity he is declared not guilty of his crime; while some poor man, with the feelings of poverty and want, steals a loaf of bread from the corner grocery, and he is sent to jail for three months. Our sense of jus- tice is rightly shocked. Perhaps on Thursday at 6 o'clock we are‘coming home and we are at the New York end of the Brooklyn Bridge, and we see a mad rush to get into the cars. There is no sympathy shown. Each man tries to get himself in and pushes women and children aside, and we say: “What are men that they will do this?” ~And so our sym- pathies with our fellow men are be- ing shocked. ‘And so it is through the rest of the week. And Sunday comes; Sunday, the day set aside when we try to commune with God and learn a little bit of what it means to be righteous, to do God’s will. Sunday comes, and a few of us, here and there, attend services; but there are the so called sacred concerts, poolrooms and saloons, all thrown open. Men say ‘liberty,” but this is not liberty, but license to degrade themselves. And we permit it, and our religion is assailed, and our cul- ture, and the development of our cul- ture to worship God is assailed. Temptations and conditions out- side ourselves and temptations arising within cause us to face danger daily. We hear of the cruelty of the factory that allows the little boy and girl of ten to work twelve hours a day until they get the. ‘‘great white plague.” We hear of the evils of the stock- yard, of the great railroads, and so on. We hear of these things so of- ten that we are growing hardened to them. Familiarity with evil dulls its power to affect us, and dulls our eyes to its ugliness, and we go on our way rejoicing in our prosperity; and we are unmindful when we do not work with all our hearts to over- come these things. These things are affecting our lives. We have to have good anchors to hold us to the right. The right, friends, is our life; noth- ing else in life. Right in everything — not only in the personal sphere, but in the world around us. Those Israelitish prophets preached, not personal righteousness, but social righteousness; not pure by yourself, but pure by your state, and that is what we have to do. If we love our right we will fight for it, and for its best expression, even as Paul fought for the lives of the seamen and his companions when his ship was cast upon the rocks. And in order to fight for ourselves we have cast out our anchors and ‘‘wish for the-day.” Now, what are these anchors? The first is the anchor of faith. Here is the situation confronting us: Our confidence is assailed; our faith in our fellow meh is assailed; our faith in our God is assailed. We have to cast out the anchor of faith. We know that the eternal righteousness will triumph. It isso. Through every difficulty, every experience, every trial; all through the past it has al- ways sought the higher expression of itself. We have to have faith in this righteousness and the inspiration to give ourselves to the service of the puoweaaion of righteousness. Not only have we to cast out the anchor of faith, but the anchor of hope also} so that when these storm clouds are upon us, when darkness surrounds us, when it seems as though the light of day would not show itself to our vision we have to have the hope that is born of God, the hope that gives & happy outlook. It is so easy to be discouraged and to let these experi- ences that are surrounding us damp- en our ardor. The next is the anchor of love for our fellow man: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. This do.” With that love God calls us to service. It calls us out of our- selves with the love that makes us want to go out into our city and wherever we see one who needs us, it makes us want to give ourslves to that one; and I tell you never .in God’s world was there a city that needed more redeeming love than does this city of New York and Brooklyn to-day. I have gone into homes where the darkness of despair was because no love was there. .I have gone into homes where mothers and fathers have said: ‘None cares for us; no one will help us.” Don’t tell me the world love us, be- cause we know differently. I tell you we have to have that love in us that the Russian proverb says “dwells in the house of labor.” There is a reward for him who loves his fellow man. Then there is another anchor, and that is the anchor of prayer. I care not what a man’s work or edu- cation is, whether he is college bred or has no education at all, but this ‘thing I am sure of, and that is, with- out a prayer in your heart you cannot ‘make life worth whatGod is expecting of it. Prayer is our wanting to get near to God, wanting to tell God of our difficulties, our troubles, our per- plexities, our successes, our ideas, our wanting to ask for His strength and guidance. We have to have this an- when the warld seems dark and life is weary. We want to have this an- chor in God to give us courage to go on our way, and if we have not been doing right to help us to return and through our fellow men serve God. our anchor of faith in God and our fellow men; our anchor of hope in eternal goodness; our anchor of love in universal service; our anchor of prayer to Ged; and in so doing may: the blessing of God rest with you in all your labors. 7 I ———————————— A Meditation. “Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come unto you.” There can be no acceptable service without this ‘endowment. Even Jesus must first be baptized with the Holy Ghost before He could enter upon His great mission. The apostles, who had been in Christ’s school for three years, could do nothing until they were endowed with power from on high. Mr. Moody used to say “that he would rather break stones on a turn- pike than attempt to preach without the indwelling and power of the Holy Spirit.~ The great reason why some of our young people’s meetings are such a drag is because its mem- bers do not seek power from above. To obtain this power we must earnestly seek for it in prayer. “If ye being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him.” - To obtain more power, we must use the power already bestowed. “Go in this thy might,’ the angel said to Gideon—the might of the promised presence. “The Lord be with thee.” As he went he realized the presence and power of the Al- mighty. We must use this power in wit- nessing for Jesus. ‘I am no more in the world, but these are in the world.” We are His representatives. Let us not misrepresent Him.— Christian Union-Herald. —————————————————— Self-Conquest a Necessity. Deeply, I fear, does this age need to take to heart the stern, inexorable necessity of . self-conquest—not in self-torture, but yet in earnest wateh- fulness; not in extreme fasting, but in habithal careful moderation; mor in morbid self-introspection, but in thorough and vigorous occupation; not in enfeebling t2e body by macera- tion, but by filling its hours of work with strenuous and cheerful activity and its hours of leisure with bright thoughtfulness and many a prayer; by these blessed means we, too, even in the midst of the world, may attain to the spirit which is dead to the world; we may be keeping under our body and bringing it into subjection; nay, in no mere formula, but a truth- ful fighre be crucified with Christ.— F. W. Farrar. Digging a Way to Heaven. Bless God for the wilderness; thank God for the long nights; be thankful that you have been in the school of poverty, and have under- gone the searching and testing of much discipline. Take the right view of your trials. You are nearer heav- en for the graves you have dug, if you have accepted bereavements in the right spirit; “you are wiser for the losses you have bravely borne, you are nobler for -all the sacrifices you have willingly completed. Sanc- tified affliction is an angel that never misses the gate of heaven.—Parker. —————————————— —— Stepping Stones to Glory. When God saves us He does it not alone for our good, but for His. He expects us to work for Him and to see that not one of His children is turned away hungry or thirsty. Sac- rifice and unselfishness are the step- ping stones to glory and in my mind the least of the work of saving a soul is done when we have gotten the pen- itent to open his heart to God. Ii is the after-work that counts, the dis- play of the friendly Christian spirit that shows the new convert that he has friends on earth and in heaven. Human Sympathy May Mislead. The cross separates not only from sin but from friends and human good. God's children are sometimes tripped by human sympathy when what they need is divine sympathy. When we see God’s children going through trial let us be careful to up- hold and encourage them. Let us not endeavor to lift the cross before God's | time.—Missionary Worker. chor when things are going wrong}: Let us cast out our four anchors: SABBATH SCHOOL LESSONS INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM- ° MENTS FOR MARCH 22. Review of the First Quarter—Golden Text, John 1:4—What the Elev- en Previous Lessons Prove— Commentary. Golden Text—*“In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4. The purpose of John’s Gospel is given in John 20:31: “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ve might have life through His name.” It was to prove that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and to prove it in such a way that men might believe it in their hearts and thus obtain life through His name. Therefore the best review of the lessons of the quarter will be to go through the lessons one by one and find cut how this great truth that brings life is illustrated in each les- son. 3 In LessonI.thiscentral truth of this Gospel iz brought out in many ways. We see the pre-existence of Jesus Christ as the eternal Word, “In the beginning with God,” and thus plain- 1y declared that He was God. We see Him as the Creator of all things, the One in Whom was life and Who was the Light of men. In Jesus of Nazar- eth this eternal Word became flesh and the apostles beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten cf the Father. We see Him as the only be- gotten Son of God, who fully de- clared God in His own person as well as in His words. In Lesson II. we have John’s testi- mony received from God and certified by the visible descent of the Holy Spirit that Jesus was the Lamb of God, eternally pre-existent, the One tvho baptized with the Holy Ghost, the Son of God. In Lesson III. we have Andrew and Philip’s . discovery of Jesus as the Messiah, Him of whom Moses in the law and prophets did write; and Na- thaniel’s discovery that Jesus was the Son of God, the King of Israel. In Lesson IV. we have Jesus mani- festing Himself as Son of God and Ruler of God's house by driving out from it those who were defiling it by making the Father’s house a house of merchandise. And also Jesus testify- ing to His own deity by claiming that if they destroyed the temple of His body He would raise it up again. In Lesson V. we see Jesus as the only begetten Son of God giving eter- nal life to those who believe on Him. In Lesson VI. we see Jesus declar- ing Himself to the woman as the Christ, “I that speak unto thee am He,” and the woman of Samaria rec- ognized Him as the Christ because oy told me all things that ever I In Lesson VII. we see Jesus mani- festing His divine glory in Cana of Galilee by healing sickness at a dis- tance by His bare word. In Lesson VIII. we see Jesus mani- festing His divine power by healing simply by His word a man who had been in his infirmity thirty and eight years and who was utterly helpless and hopeless. In Lesson IX. we see Jesus mani- festing His divine power and glory by feeding 5000 men with five small loaves and two small fishes, twelve basketfuls of fragments being left over after all were filled. This was a creative act and a decisive proof of Jesus’ deity. In Lesson X. we hear Jesus de- claring Himself to be the One who giveth everlasting life, the One whom God the Father hath sealed, the One through belief in Whom eternal life is obtained, as the Bread of Life which cometh down from heaven, the One to whom coming we shall never hunger and upon Whom believing we shall never thirst. In Lesson XI. we see Jesus mani- festing His deity in healing a man born blind and declaring Himself the Light of the world. In each lesson Jesus shines out as the Christ, the Son of God. True faith is built upon- facts. Here are facts upon which faith can build and believing obtain life .through His name. In the Dark Chamber. We must all ge there sometimes— the glare of the day is too brilliant; our eyes become injured and unable to discern the delicate shades of color or appreciate neutral tints—tHe shad- owed house of mourning, the shad- owed life from which the sunlight has gone. But fear not; it is the shadow of God’s hand. He is leading thee. The' photograph of His face can only be fixed in the dark chamber. But do not suppose that He has cast thee aside. Thou art still in His quiver; He has not flung thee aside as a worthless thing. He is only keeping thee close till the moment comes when He can send thee more’ swiftly and surely on some errand in which He will be glorified. Oh, shad- owed solitary ones, remember how close the quiver is to the warrior, within easy reach of his hand, and guarded jealously.—F. B. Meyer. It Gives Courage. Religion gives a man courage. 1 do not mean the courage that hates, that smites, that kills, but the calm courage that loves and heals and blesses such as smite and hate and kill; the courage that dares resist evil, popular, powerful, anointed evil, yet does it with good, and knows it shall thereby overcome. That is not a common quality. I think it never comes without religion.—Theodore Parker. A GOOD COOLER. Take a large pail and bore a hole 1-2 inch in diameter about 1-4 way up and put your pudding in some cov- ered dish (a small lard pail is nice), and have cover on firm. Then pack with snow or very cold water may be used; if so, put a cork in the hole in the side of the pail. As the hole is for the water to run off from the snow, an ice cream freezer may be used the same way. This is nice for anyone who has not any ice and is in a hurry.—Boston Post.

EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS SUNDAY, MARCH 22 The Church for Worship and Service. (Mark 1: 21-28; Psa. 40.) This theme reveals the Church of Jesus Christ as serving two great and necessary purposes: the purpose of worship and the purpose of service. Last week we paid special attention to the church as a place of worship and a place for the proclamation of God’s truth; this week special em- phasis may well be placed upon the other heraisphere of the church’s life; that is to say, its offer of healing and help for all the needy who come. Many believe the theory that the church must be for worship and preaching only; that it must not un- dertake any function of social service; but the theory is hopelessly out of touch with reality. The church can- not help itself. It does not always need to perform the same kind of ser- vice, but it is and always must be an institution for service. The church ls of necessity a saving force in the sommunity. Jesus Christ came to make possible the perfection of hu- man life. His church is established to carry forward that purpose. Other- wise it would be a curious puzzle; nobody could tell why the church ex- {sted. And this work of the church ig to secure the perfection in char- acter of those already sharing its life and to bring others within the reach of the love of the Lord, that they also may attain the perfect ‘life. Every- thing that ministers to this work is part of the church’s business. This is not an argument for the church merely as a place of kitchens and narlors and good music and gym- nasiums; it is more. The great ser- vice of the church is to minister to the souls of men. It must seek to win men and women away from sin to loyalty and love toward Jesus Christ. The greatest need of men is that they shall be made conscious of God; if the church does not supply that need. what institution can? There is no hope in any other. But when men become conscious of God, then they become conscious of their sin and of their soul's need, and then they must find Jesus Christ. So the greatest business of the church is the bring- ing of Christ and men together. Australia’s Artistic Stamps. Australia is going to astonish the world with its new issue of stamps. They are to be of such a superlative- ly artistic character that, according to the departmental board that has been considering the subject, “40,000 pounds worth will be sold to philatel- ists alone during the first year, and after that the sale of the enthus!- asts will average 20,000 pounds per annum.” The stamps, which are to be “a world-wide advertisement for the common wealth,” are to be print ed from steel plates, and their de- signs will “illustrate the characteris- tic features of Australia.”—London Chronicle.

In bridges and other structures of iron or. steel, it often happens that some one of several parts in tension does not support its share of the load, and instead of the usual expen- sive and troublesome plan of taking down the parts and forging them in a blacksmith shop, Hasenkamp, a German engineer, proposes making the adjustments in lengths with the structure intact. His plan is to use thermit for heating the part in place. This material, a mixture of iron ox- ide and aluminum, is readily ignited, and it burns with an intense heat, which may reach 5,000 degrees Fah- renheit, through the affinity of alu- minum for the oxygen of the iron ox- ide. Clamps are fastened to the steel part on each side of the spit to be heated. These clamps are connected by bolts, and when the right temper- ature is reached turning the nuts shortens the steel permanently to the extent desired. The operation, Te- quiring but a few minutes, does not interfere with traffic. Proof is inexhaustible that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound carries women safely through the Change of Life.
