Clyde Clay Clssell, pastor of Hanscora Park Methodist Episcopal church, began n series of sermons Sunday night on the topic, "Tho Making of Manhood." The subject of his first address was "The Uni versal Problem." "Man's greatest problem," he said, "cen ters not about bread, but about life. Not that life bounded by our narrow horizon, but rather that Ilfo which has no termina tion, but which continually Increases In blessing or despair. Wo aro interested In a multiplicity of problems mathematics. scleuce, art, philosophy. But thero Is one problem In which wo are more Interested than in all others. It is tho problem of character building. "Every man Is the architect of his own dostlny. Every man Is making his own character. This Is tho universal nroblera. It has occupied the nttentlou of tho past nnd will still bo discussed tomorrow. I would Impress every young man with tho Importance of solving this problem cor rectly, The tlmo he squanders, tho en ergy ho dUslpates In vice, iho mistakes over which bo laughs so recklessly, aro all making him. "Long ages ago the pupil of one of the celebrated roasters reared n great scaffold ing in tho domo of a great cathedral. Thero for days and months together he worked away. Ono day he came down, his task finished, nnd ho bade tho workmen tear away tho scaffolding nnd bear away tho rubbish. Then, when those who came within, looked upon tho domo they beheld the peaceful faces of angels looking down upon them. We aro all llfo-bullders. This is our great task, Angels of blessing or cursing will look down upon men In that day when our llfo work is ended. Though tho outward man is going toward decay, the Inward man is being built up day by day. This is our problem. This Is the work that shall make an eternal heaven or an oternnl doom for each man." Chmicellur Auilmva I'reacliea. Chancellor E. Denjamln Andrews of the University of Nebraska proacbed yesterday morning and evening at the First Baptist church. "The Worth nf the Soul" was the subject of Dr. Andrews' morning discourse. "The great value which God places upon mau may be explained by the fact that He created man In His own Image. There have been people who maintained that Immor tality U In Btore for some of the larger and more Important animals ns well as for man. This may or may not bo true, but we have every evldeuce of the Immortality of the soul of man. God has assured us repeatedly of the spiritual worth of the creatures whom He made in His own likeness," said Dr. Andrews. "The physical form of God Is frequently mentioned in the blblo in a fig urative sense, but when mention Is mado of God's creation of man in His own Imago reference Is made to the spiritual likeness between man and God. "God endowed man with soul, spiritual being, a yearning for Immortality. It Is difficult for us to understand the nature of God and of man's soul. They stand apart from tho material and physical and aro wrapped In mystery. It Is Impossible for us to comprehend the God man whom tho Father sent Into tho world to work our sal vation. Yet tho human and dlvlno attri butes of Chrlst.aro not contradictory. "Tho importance of the salvation of tho human soul and the mercy of God showed to a sinful world In offering His son that sin might be banished must Impress every right-thinking man. A great duty rests with all of us. Tho work of saving souls has been entrusted to us and wo must real ize our responsibility to God," Inntiillntlnii ( Hldera, Two ciders were Installed at Castellar Street Presbyterian church Sunday morn ing. They were Herman Walker and Walter Uell. Ilev. Wlthrop Allison took for his text the verso describing the lamentation of David when Jonnthan lay dead upon the battlefield: "I am distressed for theo, my brother Jonathan, Thou hast been very sweet to mo; thou hast loved mo with lovo passing that of a woman." Tho minister said In part: "Jonathan's lovo for David was wonderful. When the love first grew David was a mcro servant In the king's household and Jonathan was near tho throne, yet Jonathan loved lilm. Ho loved him because he was Innocent. We stand In tho presence of Ono who loves us. It Is not that we aro innocent that He loves us. He loves us guilty; He loves us condemned. As Jonathan, when David was young, stood between him and tho wrath of the king, so Jesus Christ In Ijls great lovo for us stands between tho poor sinner and the vengeance of the power that rules tho world. Ho loves us to keep us from bMng guilty." Itev. Ilerrluir nil Ntremioiia 1,1 tv, Ilev, II, C, Herring, pastor of the First Congregational church, preached Sunday morning on the subject of "Submission." "Take My yoke upon theo and learn of Me, for My yoke Is rasy and My load Is light." "This if) the old royal lesson," said the pastor, "that teaches submission to tho will of God. It Is it lesson that Jesus Hlm solf had to learn. Tho yoke is love; It is this, that makes tho burden easy. It is tho song thnt shortens the day and transforms tho gloom into sunshine. Learn Jesus' law of rest. Tho road to this rest lies past the city of Submission, and he who finds It has already accomplished much of tho Journey toward life everlasting. "Thero has never been In tho history of the world a tlmo when nn expenditure of nervous energy and self-asscrtlvcness wero at such n premium as now. Wo bellevo In the strenuous llfo; Jesus did not. Ho be lieved In tho gentle Ufa. The strenuous llfc may bo all right; I havo no quarrel with tho phrase, but I do object to tho construction so often placed upon It that of bending nil things to serve our own selfish ends. Therein tho strenuous llfo is nn error. It demands too great an ex penditure of tlmo and nervous forco In combating tho current of God's will." l'npulnr Old Ilynina. At Calvary Baptist church Sunday even ing the pastor, Itev. Thomas Anderson, de livered an address upon tho subject of "Sorao Famous Hymns and Their Au thors." A few months ago a religious Journal of England took a voto among Its subscribers to ascertain tho most popular hymn. "Rock of Ages" was by far tho most popular, and, according to tho speaker, tho sentiment of the readers of that paper is borno out in all walks of llfo. Tho hymn wns written by Augustus M. Toplady, about 1770, and was a favorite with Gladstone, who translated It Into Greek, Latin and Italian. At the request of tho late Presi dent Harrison It was sung at his funeral and wns repeated by tho Iato prlnco con sort of England on his deathbed. Tho author was a minister of tho Church of England. The hymn receiving the second highest vote was "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," by Charles Wesley, nnd the speaker gave a brief history of tho life of the author, who?o work was done on two hemispheres. Mis, Noble sang "There Wero NJnoty and Nino," and the pastor told Its his tory and how Sankey found the verses in a newspaper and Improvised the tuno In a meeting held by Moody In Scotland. The speaker deplored tho fact that much mere doggerel and Jingles havo lately been designated by the name of hymns, and pleaded with his hearoru to discourage this tendency nnd stand out for tho poetic hymns of the churches, naming those given above, Cardinal Newman's "Lead Kindly Light" and others of that character.
