HIE CITIZEN, FRIDAY. OCTOBER I I, 1010. H FOR A Theme: EXPERIENCE. . BY REy. p.R. .JUNIUS B. REM EN ..SNYDER. ' Text Knowing that patience work eth experience. Rom., v., 4. ' . This is the great dofcct of youth that It discounts the patient schooling and preparation of discipline, and would' rush unguardedly upon tho Uio stage and 'Into tho hattlo of life. But there Is danger of placing ox troiue emphasis on experience. Wo must have theoretical knowledge; tho mind mUst bo furnished by reading nnd the understanding strengthened by reflection. Our srtongest and no "blest Inspirations como from within. It is In our still Inner life that nro nourished those visions of sentiment and ppotry that make life noble and beautiful. This Is the mistake wo oftdr hear In regard to religion. It is snid that religion Is wholly a matter of experience. But experience can not give us facts. It Is not a creative but a Jesting faculty, lie who takes the conclusions of his experience for tho word of God will remain in as deop darkness and hopelessness with respect to tho blessed truths and hopes of religion as wero tho great pagan thinkers. On the other hand, however, tho apostle Is altogether justified In In sisting In the text upon tho necessity of experience to religion. One may be the most orthodox of believers, tho profoundest of Uioolglans and the tho most regular of church members, but If ho does not know religion by experience he "denies the power thereof," and his profession Is but "sounding brass and a tinkling cym bal." Religion first must be experienced in tho heart Our ploty must be sin cere. It must breatho within us tho spirit of brotherly love. It must mauo us fpar God. It must Incite us to hate wrong and meanness. It must make us broad minded and charitable. It must create within us pure affections. It must stir us with high nlms nnd noble Ideals. In. Bible language,. It must make us "new creatures, cre ated after God In true righteousness and holiness." But the supreme test of religion is that It be experienced In dur lives. A man may have deep religious feeling, but If It does not prove Itself In action it Is but' emotionalism. Sentiment and prayers and tears .do but make a mockery of God and the Church If they do not Issue in right life. It Is only when our religion masters our temptations, sweetens our ugly, tempers, overcomes our bad habits, casts out our selfishness, moves us to do good to our neighbors, gives us courage In danger and faith and calm under the Uro of affliction that it is real. Then it has set to it the seal of experience, and then will it bring th efavor of God and crown with an immortal hopo. Tho defect of too many professors is the lack of this vital religious ex perience. Thoso who know them best doubt them most Those whose close contacts show Just what they realiy are have hard work to believe their piety genuine. If believers would $nly be more consistent In their lives and Illustrate their faith In their deeds, no argument would bo needed to win tho worldly to follow so gracious n guldo as Te ltgion. Gibbon, in that famous chap ter of his history ,whoro ho seeks to account for tho wondrous progress of the early Church, .etates that "tho primitive Ghrlstlan, demonstrated his faith by his virtues" and "exercised himself in tho habits of humility, meekness and patience." 'The samo 'Christian qualities will give, more pow .er to tho Gospel to-day than all tho , learned arguments of theologians. r-i'l' It Giving Our Best Service.

CANDIDATE'S QUEER, TALK Remarkable Language on Stump From a Man Who Aspires to Be Governor of Pennsylvania. William H. Berry, tho Keystone Pnrty nominee for govornor, did not lmprbvo his chances os a candidate by tho exhibitions ho gavo whijo on tho stump In Philadelphia last work. He Was evidently laboring under a sovero mental strain; at least that Is what some of his admirers say Iri ox-' jilanatlon of tho many bad breaks S'nde by him In his speeches. i Sorry could not control his temper, and on morn than ono occasion ho talk- 1 ed like a man vho was1 In a dO-'iierate 1 yredlcamont nnd did not kuow whero lie was going to land. Ho was particularly hitter In hlo at tacks on tho Democrats who opposed his nomination at the Allcntown stato convention, and ho repeatedly charged thorn with being "a bunch of crooks." "I will make that bunch of crooks who controlled that convention," ho cried, dramatically, "hide their heads in shamo until they die." "I will sweat blood to win this fight," he exclaimed at another moot ing. When I accepted this nomina tion I had no Idea of being elected and I had but one object. 1 received a hand-out at Allcntown. But I will put that bunch of Democratic bosses on the everlasting hog. That's worth while." Running to Beat Grim. This admission from Borry that ho agreed to mako the Independent fight i In order to have revenge on tho Dorao- j crats who refused to nominate him Has been the subject of much com- ment. His declaration that he will put 1 "that Democratic bunch on the over- ! lasting hog" Is regarded as servlco of notice on the Grim supporters that no ' matter what Berry may think of his own canvass, he will remain in tho field until the end, so that Grim shall have no chanco of being elected. It Is recalled that Berry was ready to quit If Grim would also withdraw, as Berry Is looked on as running third In the raoo, but as soon as Grim said he would not retire, Berry got Into the fight again, and ho now says ho proposes to keep at it until election day. Berry a Democrat. Berry Is making no effort to con ceal his fealty to the Democratic par ty. Ho remarked the other night: "I am as good a Democrat as I ever was. I havo trained with the Democratic party for a long tlmo and It has beon my hopo that tho Democratic party j mignt Become a iormidabie minority purty that is what we want." Berry mado a strong bid for tho Totes of tho unemployed while ho was speaking in the Quaker' City. Ho at tacked tho Republican party and tho administration of President Taft, de claring that conditions were never so bad. He pictured distress on every nana, and .declared that tho country was on tho vergo of a panic. "How many of you have coal In your collar?" was a query propounded by Berry to a meotlng of worklpgmen. "I havo not," some ono roplled, "Nor have I," responded Berry, Tn a demagogic appeal for sympathy and support ... - ...... i Lator on at tho same meeting, In a palpable effort to curry fayor with tho crowd, ho' exclaimed: VI, would rather talk to a bunch like this than a bunch twice tho. else at tho Union League.'! "We fellows who carry the hod In the game, rCcet tho lprnon,";was an other remark by Berry that gavo ail Insight into his method of campaign ing. After listening to Berry's speoches tho opinion wn'a expressed-by some'pf tho most conservative men In Phila delphia that Berry by his talk and bis politjcaj tactic diirliig the last few weeks has demonstrated that he has Jiojconceptlon of the responsibilities' rhn ImnnrfjuiM of the ofilco of GoT- .ernors of .Pennsylvania, and that absolutely lacking In dignity and char actor such iis should be possessed Wr Kbjp' jShlof fa(ocut)vo oj,,'hi5 common wealth or Pennsylvania. ti nThil. fttu$4Lnt thp.grcabodyff-r. business .men-'and manufacturers md others who have In tfio past been the' leaders of lndapejadon (rnqvinJehUl f do rnuauoipnia xonave mnymnis- uj Lwlth;tho campaign In favor of for 'oovernor has beon a Berlous Betty hail' dlcap to tho Koystone Party.

PRETTY CHEEKY. At Least the Senator's Demand Struck His Colleague as Such. Soon nfter the convening of a new session of congress announcement was made of tho approaching marriage of Anson G. McCook who was then sec rotary of the sqnntc. A subscription was immediately started among the senators for tho purchase of a wedding present. Two or three prominent sen ators volunteered to collect tho money. Senator X., one of tho richest men iu tho senate nt that time, was one of these. Seeing a now senator who had not yet been approached on the subject, "THAT MAN JIEATS AEt,!" Senator X. went to him and said, "Sen ator Blank, I want you to give me tor "What for?" don.ni.ded, the new mem ,bcr. ' . "Eor Mcpook's vcddlng present," explained Senator X. "I'll see you about It tomorrow,'' an swered Blank, with n scowl. "All right," srtld Senator X. as he walked nwny, "but don't forget'lt." Senator Blanl watched him 'until ho wiw out prehearing and then,' t,urnlng to his eollenguo, remarked with warmth; "Well, I've heard of cheeky things in "my life, but thnt man beats' nil. fyhht tfo yon think? 116 just asked mo .to glvp him!
