A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR. J LEWIS PARKS. -
Theme: A Sermon to Churchmen.
¥ : «
+ Brooklyn, N. Y.=—The third annual
union service of the Men’s Parish
«Clubs of the P. E. Church in Brook-
ilvn was ‘held Sunday in St. Ann's
Church. The Rev. J. Lewis Parks,
D. ‘D.; of Calvary P. E. Church, Man-
hattan, preached the sermon. His
text was the vision .of the prophet
Ezekiel and his discourse was an
earnest exhortation to the men of
the church to stand fast by the faith
as it is in Jesus, and to Scripture
« .study. . It received close attention
from the congregation.
said:
+ In captivity Ezekiel sees the glori-
ous God, the Almighty, in the like-
ness of man, seated upon His throne,
borne upon His chariot. Strange liv-
ing creatures sustain it at each cor-
mer. Four faces there are: The face
of a man, the face of a lion, the face
of an eagle and the face of an.oxX.
‘And we are warned that the human
_element is the one upon which we
should fix our attention, for the sym-
bol is of the ideal man, with all his
rich variety of gifts: Courage and
force, like the king of beasts; patient
- in toil, like the ox; the eagle’s eye, to
pierce into the hidden things of na-’
gure and scan the mysteries of God.
This kind of man, with his reason
and his conscience and his heart, this
4deal man, is the representative of all
humanity in all his generations; and
this business is to serve the Lord God
Almighty and to show. forth His
glory. But, as the beasts in the Rev-
elation of St. John nave their place in
heaven, these have theirs on earth,
and the chariot hath its waeels,
wheels in the middle of wheels, so
that they go whithersoever they will
without turning, and they go and re-
turn as the flame of lightning, and
the sword of the living God is in the
wheels. And all this represents our
It has a vital
organism. It has a vital mechanism
men bound together for the service
of God. The Spirit moves the wheels
and moves the whole chariot; moves
the entire humanity.
In very truth the Holy Ghost is
{mminent in man. In very deed the
body of Christ is the temple of the
Spirit of God in every age just as the
needs of the time demand. He
‘blows, as it were, the breath of man
upon the hearts and minds of men,
quickening, reviving, energizing;
throwing them collectively and
aunitedly into the work of the day.
| It is one of the most patent and
one of the most consolatory of his-
torical phenomena, and you are in
Dr. Parks
the midst of one such great revival
of the Spirit now. Not that I forget
the wickedness of the world. That is
the very reason that I perccive the
hour of God; the Holy Ghost fighting
against anti-Christ; and the spiritual
revival shows itself in some very vis-
ible, unmistakable signs. First,
there is the marvelvus revival of the
missionary spirit to carry the Gospel
to the four quarters of the globe.
Then there is the yearning for the
unity of Christendom. Then there
is the calling of the multitude of
workers into the field, not clerical,
alas, but lay. Not women only; but
the Spirit of God has made man
somewhat see that he must serve and
work for God. And finally, more
strange still to anyone who has pon-
dered human nature, there has taken
possession of our time a passionate
desire to serve mankind, to better
‘human life, to make happier human
conditions, to plead for justice as
between man and man, to teach
mercy and rejoice against judgment,
that the intolerable and individual
and unseen suffering of the day might
little by little be done away.
But, alas, my brethren, strangely
error and aisruption balk the steps
of man. Every light has its shadow;
every virtue its corresponding vice;
every movement of the Spirit tempts
men to pervert and misunderstand
His works; and I think most of you
will bear me out when I say that the
very spiritual movements of the day
in each and all of the tendencies
which I have pointed out tempt the
present age to deny the faith and
to belittle the body of Christ. It is
easy to see how it should be so. Here
are men worried with sectarian the-
ologies, worn out spiritually but alive
still. Men forget, in their impatience
and desire for unity, that all these
.-gcreeds, as we call them (and falsely
called), are merely ephémeral efforts
to express the fundamental truth of
Jesus, and, putting aside these
transient expressions, they forget the
truth as it is in Jesus. /And men,
consumed as men are to-day to work
for their brothers, are ready to say
that social service is the gospel, that
it is not only the fruit of the gospel
but exclusively the whole of it, dc-
claring that the Spirit of Christ is
social service; that any man that
hath this spirit is a Christian, let
him call himself Jew or Agnostic or
Mohammedan or Buddhist; it matters
not, he is a Christian.« Is it not easy
‘to see how such a condition of things
may presently lead to the pervertion
of conduct? And men in their zeal
for men; and desire to co-operate
with all good men for all good things,
may come to think of little impor-
tance the body of Christ. And yet
not possibly could the social aim of
the day be more injured and jeopard-
jzed than by anything that should
forget the faith or weaken the Church
of God. . ;
i will not say that modern civiliza-
tion is the product only of Chris-
tianity; I will not say there are not
other factors that have made for the
present state; but I am bold to main-
tain that modern civilization never
could have come to pass without the
faith of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Look at it. Did not the great doc-
frine of the incarnation bring into
the world personality, fraternity,
equality, charity? Is it not the doc-
trine of democracy? The Lord took
human nature, not of any class, not of
any race. In Him there is neither
Jew nor Greek, barbarian, bond or
free; but Christ is all and in all. How
naturally slave and master went to
the altar side by side! How natural-
ly, since the days of Philemon, the
Christian spirit set itself to break
down slavery! How naturally wom-
an was elevated and honored for
blessed Mara sake! A wise man of
status of the women of a nation, so
is its civilization; that the reason
that Mohammedanism, the mast pro-
gressive effort of the human race,
came to nav ohi; is the harem. Natur-
ally. Christianity made the hospital
the noriial appendage of every civic
state. It sought to break down the
terrors of privilege before the law
until. it worked ont in’ civic liberty
and democracy. Naturally, too, be-
cause of ‘the infinite pity of Jesus
day : toward. their brethren. And
mark you, only in Christian lands
has this thing come to. pass. There
have; been great. civilizations of old,
and Greece. Sennacherib was no
puny, petty sovereign. Rome gov-
erned and administered’ the "world,
but the care of man for ma=» and self-
sacrifice for a brother, were never
taught as the duty of man until Jesus
came. I believe these things concern
the men of the church. re rs
I have ventured, with some bold-
ness no doubt, to invite the attention
of an assembly of lay churchmen to
what I believe to be a most serious
danger. Never, believe me, will the
selfishness of men be moved to altru-
jsm, and what the Gospel calls the
love of our brother, if you break
down the church that carries the
man; and your duty in this regard
is very simple. But if you will per-
form it, it is potent for good. = You
have church clubs. You have been
organized for some special service or
other, but you are a church organiza-
tion. Never forget that nothing that
you can do in this world that en-
feebles the Church of God, or ob-
secures the truth of the Gospel, will
count for man for long, ncr between
you and God for much. Your-duty is
to maintain the Church of Christ, to
reverence her Sabbaths conscientious-
ly as in the fear of God, not for your
own pleasure disregarding the great
commandment. Your duty is rever-
ently to feed upon the Word of Life,
and never to forsake the assembling
of yourselves together, as the manner
of many is. As for your duty toward
the State, it is equally simple and
briefly to be stated: “If any man
will do My will, he shall know,” and
if any man will seek to know God's
will, he will be sufficiently instructed
in the truth as it is in Jesus. When
the largest of all our lay organiza-
tions for men (St. Andrew's Society)
was initiated, always the Bible class
was thought to be a natural and in-
separable adjunct. I know not how
it is now, but I am certain that the
study of the Word of God is the very
best foundation of the faith. I do
not care for geographies and archael-
ogies, but bring your common sense
to bear on the Holy Scripture, and
ask what it has to say to you for your
own life; how you can follow out the
teaching of the blessed work; what is
its application to the problems of
the day; what comfort it has for your
sorrows; what hope for your reward.
Believé me, no man who reads and
prays over and tries to live the Word
of God is in any danger of forgetting
his faith.
How to Be Encouraged.
“David encouraged himself in the
Lord”—Sam. 30:6.
These words concerning him reveal
to us the secret of his joy and suc-
cess. Like Abraham, he believed in
God. Trusting people are a happy
people. They are contented and sat-
isfied whatever their .lot may be.
They encourage themselves in the
Lord and therefore have a continual
feast. Their joy does not depend
upon what people think or say about
them, neither do they depend upon
friends for comfort and encourage-
ment, but they lean hard upon God
‘and stand upon the promises.
Those who encourage taemselves
in the Lord are a great blessing and
stimulant to others in many ways,
but they carry sunshine with them
wherever they go. Such people will
always be needed. They never need
to seek a place or position, but places,
positions and people, both friends and
enemies, will seek them. They have
no troubles and sorrows to burden
other people with, but they become
real burden-bearers for others, and
like Paul are able to comfort them
that are in any trouble by the come
fort wherewith they are comfcrted
of God. a
Friend, if you have not yet learned
to encourage yourself in the Lord,
begin to-day and the res@lt will be
glorious. (Read Phil, 4:4-7.)—G.
W. S. Herald.
Unhesitating Obedience.
Peter was the man of impulse, the
man of action, with a swift-beating
heart and an every-ready hand. To
his forward-stepping mind, decision
was easy. and immediate; and so, al-
most before the command was com-
pleted, his swift lips had made an-
swer; “I will let down the nets.”
It was the language of a prompt and
full obedience. It showed that his
nature was responsive and genuine.
He had learned to obey, the first les-
son of discipleship; and having
learned to obey, he was therefore fit
to rule, qualified for leadership, and
worthy of being. intrusted with the
keys of the kingdom. :
And how much is missed in life
through feebleness of resolve, a lack
of resplve! How many are the in-
vertebrate souls, lacking in will and
void of purpose, who, instead of sur-
mounting waves and conquering the
flow of adverse tides, like the
medusae can only drift, all limp and
languid, in the current of circum-
stance! Such men do not make apos-
tles; they are but ciphers of flesh
and blood, of no value by themselves,
and only of any worth as they are
attached to the unit of seme strong
will.
Time Enough For Every Duty
No man has any more duties to do
than he has time to do well. God as-
signs all duties, and all time, and all
strength for the doing of duties; God
expects good work from all His chil-
dren; and God never expects more
than is reasonable. Therefore when
we think that we have not time
enough to do-all our duties as well
as we ought, we are eithzr wasting
our time, or borrowing trouble, or
trying to do what we ought to let
alone. The honey-bee has a heavy
burden of work .to do, and only lim-
ited time to do it in; but ne gets it
done, and well done; and he gives no

MODERN BANQUET
WOULD AMAZE NERO.
Signor Ferrero Says Luxury of
His Time Not Comparable With
That of To-Day.
i “Corruption: and Progress in the
Ancient ;and Modern. World’ was the
subject, of the lecture in which Sig-
nor, Ferrero, - the, Italian historian
shattered all the popular ideas .of
Roman corruption when he spoke be-
fore a large audience at Columbia
University. After “having - stripped.
‘the romantic garb from ‘the history
of Cleopatra on Wednesday, Signor
Ferrero attacked ideas regarding the
viceg.of ancient Rome in an equally
forceful manner. Mea
“If we read the ancient sources
we can see that the idea of Roman’
corruption has been exaggerated,” he
said; “that we have made for our-
selves out of this much famed Rom-
an luxury ‘a notion highly romantic.
But we need not delude ourselves.
Rome even at the height of its spen-
dor was poor in comparison with the
modern world. Even when Rome
stood as a metropolis for an immense
empire it was less wealthy and less
imposing than a great city of present
Europe or America.
“We have. pictured the imperial
banquets of ancient Rome as fune-
tions of unheard of splendor; but if
Nero could come to life and see the
dining room of a great hotel of Paris
or New York he would admire it far
more than the hall in which he gave
his feasts.
“In the modern world every in-
crease of consumption, every. waste,
every vice seems permissible; indeed,
almost meritorious, because men of
industry, gain by the diffusion of
luxury, by the spread of vice. IH,
for example, the beer makers and dis-
tillers of alcohol were not more pow-
erful in the electoral field than the
philosophers and academicians, the
governments would have more easily
recognized that the popular classes
cannot be allowed to poison them-
selves or future generations with
chronic drunenkness.
«Fabulous wealth is wasted by men
and women to-day in luxury that is
not to satisfy some reasonable need,
but to show others of their kind how
rich they are, or, further, to make
others believe them richer than they
are.”—New York Herald.

Sea Gives Up Its Wealth."
«Californians have solved the prob-
lems of the alchemists and are mak-
ing gold out of sea water,” says Will-
jam Briggs, writing in the Technical
World Magazine. “The Golden State
has taken golden treasure out of her
mountains, has made her valleys
yield millions of dollars’ worth of
golden fruit, has amassed tourist gold
in exchange for her sunshine, and
now turns to the great lazy Pacific
and ransacks its coffers.
. “There is no rush of prospectors to
the new field, however, as the gold is
coming out of the sea in the form of
salts of potassium, magnesium -and
bromide, which would elude the pan
and the rocker of the prospector.
“Of several ‘diggings’ of this na-
ture, one at least is active and pros-
perous and one is approaching activ-
ity. The San Pedro Salt Company,
which recently entered the field, has
succeeded in manufacturing a quan-
tity and quality of salt which has
found a ready market and has already
assumed a place among the exports
of the port of San Pedro. The fact
that San Pedro is a lively and thriv-
ing port, with almost no outgoing
cargoes, makes the development of
this trade both easy.and important.
Since the first of last year the coast-
ing schooners returning to the north-
ern coast have taken away over a
thousand tons of this sea salt.”

This century is witnessing a revi-
7 ‘val of neglected languages.” A writer

An Order For Blueberries.
. The fame of those Surry blueber-
fies has reached to the Far West.~ J.
A. Haines, of Ellsworth, recently ad-
vertised the Surry blueberries in the
Ellsworth American. Last week he
received an order for twelve cans to
be shipped to Ogden, Utah. The or-
der camé from Br: A.°S. Condon, of
: that city, and was -accompanied by a
copy of the advertisement and a let-
ter. in which Dr. Condon said he
wished to taste again the blueberries
which as a boy he picked about his
home in Penobscot and Orland.
Doubtless some of the berries he will
get from the Surry factory came from
the same plains in Orland which the
doctor wandered over in his youthful

‘the most eminent physicians it was essen-
tial that the component parts of Syrup

Peculiar Spanish Custom.
It is customary in Spain when an
infant first begins to notice things to
place before it a silver coin, a sword,
a silver cross, a book and some fruit.
The object to which the child stretch-
es his hand indicates, according to
accepted belief, his future vocation.
The coin is for commerce, the sword
for the army, the cross and the book
respectively point to the Church and
the law or léarning, while the fruit
denotes a farmer or landowner.
Lame Back Prescription.
Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the increased use of whiskey for
lame back and rheumatism. It is an
almost infallible cure when mixed
with certain other ingredients and
taken properly. The following is the
formula:
“To one ounce of Toris compound
and one ounce syrup Sarsaparilla com-
pound add one-half pint of good whis-
key. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retir-
ing.”
It is surely worth trying by any
one who may be afflicted.
Still Bigger Hats.
We are greatly surprised to learn
from creditable inner source that the
feminine big hat is to remain in
vogue. Not only is it to remain, but
the understanding oppears to be that
it will show a still greater circumfer-
ence—to say nothing of an extended
diameter. Of course, the masculine
mind can’t understand this. He has
seen the big hat lampooned, satirized,
mocked, and even reviled. He has
doorways, and
banged against partitions, and bent
in collisions. How it can survive
both the shafts of sarcasm and the
ruder materialistic bumps is some-
thing no fellow can find out—inclua-
ing.a lot of fellows much wiser than
Dundreary.
But, of course, there is no use pip-
ing forth any further objections. The
hat of lovely woman is as sacred a
form of headgear as the hat of the
Austrian Gessler. And both, more
or less, are the emblems of tyranny
—the tyranny of power and the tyran-
ny of fashion.—Cleveland Plain Deal
er.
New Monroe Doctrine Needed.
The president and retiring secre-
tary of state recommended that con-
gress authorize the appointment of a
commission to visit Liberia to study
the difficulties in which that weak-
ling state finds itself. A commis-
sion of Liberians recently visited this
country—may be here yet—to ask
that this government assume a sort
of unofficial protectorate over the
African republic, in order to guaran-
tee her territorial integrity and keep
the neighboring dependencies of Eu-
ropean nations from aggression that
threatens her existence. “The United
States, having encouraged the estab-
lishment of Liberia, would seem to
‘have some responsibility to help her
in the present crisis.
NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relief.
x
Many persons are learning that
- drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
. required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is
grown there by nature for food to
brain and nerve tissue. This is the
phosphate of potash, of which Grape-
Nuts food contains a large proportion.
In making this food.all the food
elements in the two cereals, wheat
and barley, are retained. That is why
so many heretofore nervous and run
down people find in Grape-Nufs a
true nerve and brain food.
“] can say that Grape-Nuts food
has done much for me as a nerve re-
newer,” writes a Wis. bride.
“A few years ago, before my mar-
riage, I was a bookkeeper in a large
firm. 1 became so nervous toward
the end of each week that it seemed
