TUB NORFOLK WEEKLY NEWS-.IOrilNAL , FRIDAY , MAY G , 1910. - Ooo ooo PEOPLE'S PULPIT. . . Sermon by CHARLES T. RUSSELL , Pastor Brooklyn Tabernacle. O-- Ooo Jerusalem , April 2-1. My friends , w meet today for the worship of God In traditionally one of the most renowned meeting places In the whole earth. Tradition has It that this Is the same "upper room" which was owned by ono friendly to our Lord nnd his disciples nnd who granted it na their meeting place on several occasions most Inti mately associated with the Inaugura tion of Christianity , Tradition nlso has It that this In the room mentioned fay SU Mnrk In our text , where the disciples with the Lord partook of the Inst Jewish Passover Supper , after which Jesus Instituted the Eucharist or Lord's Supper as an nntltyplcal me morial , taking the place of the Passover - over to nil who accept Jesus ns the Passover Lamb "The Lamb of God which tnketh away the sin of the world" ( John 1 , 25) ) ) ; "Christ our Pass over Is slain , therefore let us keep the fejist" ( I Corlnthlnns v , 7 , 8) ) . ' Tradition assures us Unit this is the Bamo room mentioned In the Book of Acts ( I , Kl > as the place where the Apostles resided ami assembled for worship during the ten days following the Lord's ascension the same "upper room , " therefore , In which was mani fested tlie acceptance of nil the con secrated followers of Jesus Into Cove nant relationship with God as "mem bers of the Body of Christ , which Is the Church. " Of course , our permis sion to use tills room for a public serv ice today was obtained only by pro- nrrnngemunt with those having It In charge. True , traditions are not al ways reliable. Surely , In almost every other part of the world It would be absurd to think of the preservation of the Identity of n house like this for more than eighteen centuries. But here we have most peculiar condi tions. The Inhabitants of this land Bcpm to have been content to lenvo things just ns they found them from generation to gcucrntlou , merely mak ing such blight repairs ns were from time to time 'found necessary. Here visitors come , look and depart , fllled with a sacred awe , nnd have done so for centuries , and the Inhabitants , each Intent upon his own business , have Ignored this In a manner hardly imaginable by Europeans. It is possi ble therefore that tradition In thlscnse nnd In other instances hereabouts , has located correctly , just as In Home the prison In which Paul wns confined Is indl-atcd by tradition with apparent accuracy. n Chrikt Our Passover. WP nre favored not only In respect to the use of the room , but additional ly In rcspr to the time of our visit nnd our use of It. This , according to Jewish reckoning , is the first day ot Passover Week It began last evening nt 0 o'clock. The three hours preced' lug that marked the time of our Lord's death and the begging by Joseph ol Arimathea for the privilege of bury Ing his body in his new tomb nnd th ( nasty taking of our Lord from the cross and gutting him only pnrtlallj embalmed and. the tomb closed nnd sealed before 0 o'clock this day be ginning at 0 o'clock being auiongsi the Jews , as the Apostle declared , ai "high day , " a Sabbath day of specla sacredness ns the beginning of th < Passover Feast-'Week. As we look back to that incmornbl occasion we can sympathize with th Apostles and early believers In th blighting of all of their hopes by th apparent failure of Jesus to make gocx his claim of Messlahshlp. Wo can In aglne better than we can describe tuel dejection , their disappointment. O " 'ho ' next day. corresponding to to-moi row , the two with whom Jesus met o the way to Emmnus said sadly , "W had trusted that It had been ho wh should have redeemed Israel" ( Lul ; xxlv , 21) ) . They had hoped that his miracle corroborating his teaching , when L "spake ns never man spake. " wei evidences that he. wns the Me : slnh. They hnd built their hopes , t Jews , that now. finally God's promlsi to their nation would be fulfilled-thi Israel should bo exulted In the carl In name and fame und power and a' ' thorlty to bless and to Instruct "all tl families of the earth. " They hr hoped that Messiah would be the grei King under whose beneficent reign , i the great Mediator between God ni men , the long-promised blessing wou come to the earth. They had hop < also for n personal share with him the glories of his Kingdom , nccordli " shall sit wl to his own words-"Vo mo on twelve thrones. , judging ( rulln twelve tribes of Israel" ( Matthe 28) ) His death as a malefactc as n blasphemer against God. seem to cast a shadow over every hope ni to leave them not only desolate heart themselves , but despised by thi neighbors us deceived fanatics. Tl is the anniversary , dear friends , of day tlint was very sad to our brcthr 01 ! 1877 yearn ago. The Upper 'Room at Jerusalem t "He Will Show You a Large j Upper Room ; There Make Ready j For U " ( Markxiv , 15) ) j . . . . . . . . . . . ooo " " ii i i i i i o "Motes and All the Prophets. " How ( llT.TL'iit ( ( Is our attitude of mind that wo are able to see , to praise God and to rejoice that Jesus died ; that hu Huttered , "the Just fur the unjust , " that his death might constitute tliu Ransom-Price for Adam nnd all his race. This light upon the sufferings of Christ began to uhlnc into the hearts of the Apostles on the day of our Lord's resurrection , corresponding to to-morrow. The oil for that light lay hidden In the words of Moses and nil the Prophets of Israel , But It was iieccssnry Unit our Lord , having risen from the dead to be the great nntl- typical High Priest , should trim the lamp of Divine Truth that the light might shine out to all of his people , all of his "members , " all of the "Koyal Priesthood , " all who are In the con secrated condition of heart , symbolical ly represented by the "holy" of Israel's Tabernacle. Murk how gently nnd how wisely the Lord permitted the light to Bhluo in gradually upon his faithful few. The eyes of their understanding must not be blinded by an Instantaneous Hash. Gradually , as they were able to bonr It , the good tidings of his resurrection from the dead to glory , honor nnd Immortality on the dlvlno plane must be made known to them. Thellrst Intimations were from the women of the company who had gone with spices , after the "high day , " on the morning of the third day to com plete the work of embalming the Lord. They reported llrst. that he was gone from the sepulchre , and secondly , that they had seen some angels who told them that he was risen from the dead. And later Mary had reported that she had seen the I/ml and clasped him by the feet and that he had said to her , " 1 am not yet ascended to my Father ; but go to my brethren nnd say unto them , I ascend unto my Father , and your Father ; and to my God , and your God" ( John xx , 17) ) . Jesus said to tell the disciples that ho would meet them In Galilee , as he had said to them before. These bewildering experiences were merely leading gradually on , pre paring the disciples for the fuller knowledge of the facts. It wns the same day ( corresponding to to-morrow afternoon ) that the Lord overtook two of the sorrowing disci ples as they walked Into the country to spend the night. Here again ho would not shock them and overpower them by a vision of his glorious pros euce such as smote down Saul of Tar sus on his way to Damascus , "shining above the brightness of the sun a noon-day " on the contrary he as sumed a body of tlesh and traveler's clothing and talked sympathetically with the two sorrowing ones. 'After hearing their woes and sorrows he must have astonished them with his knowledge of the Scriptures , as well as by his sympathy , saying to them , "O foolish and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken ! " ( Luke xxlv. 20. ) They had been willing to believe something of what the Prophets had spoken the glorious things , the happlfying things pertain ing to Messiah's Millennial glory. But they had been slow to believe the prophets' other testimonies to the ef fect that the Itedeemer must be "led as a Lamb to the slaughter. " must be the sin-offering , must be despised and rejected of men , must be lifted up on the cross as the antitype of the "brazen serpent. " and must be raised from the dead by the power of the Father to the glory , honor and immortality of his great station as Prophet. Priest. Mediator , King , the antitype of Mcl- chlzcdcU. for the fulfilment to Israel and the world of all of God's great promises. 10 Then said Jesus. In view of these ex positions , "Ought not Christ to have suffered these things nnd to enter Into bis glory ? " What else should be ex pected ? Did he not foretell his own death ? And did he not foretell his own resurrection ? And were you not toe confused to understand his teachings to the full ? Did not your minds rut more to the coming glory than to what he said to you respecting the necessltj that you should "watch and pray lesi ye enter Into temptation" and lose nl your part and hope under these trylnt conditions ? A little later , in the sanu 1C day. he appeared In the "upper room , ' ro traditionally this very room-the doors sus being shut for fear of the Jews bar us red , we may be sure , because the pool es disciples felt that the envy and hatrei at wl'ich had led to tu crucifixion of tin thud Master might easHy be transform thy with him nnd their relationship ti his work Here Jesus materialized li their presence nrd spoke a few words He told them that he was really pres ent with them and that It was no ud merely a phantom which they saw ild And then he ate with them , honeycoml cd nnd flsh. as evidencing the fact tun In they were not belnp addressed by ni While they still wondered with nstoi Ishment. ho proved to them that the risen Lord wns no longer merely man , but that he had experienced change In his resurrection , so that no ho was n spirit being and could go an come like the wind appearing In body of .flesh when his purposes so d mandcd. He gave proof of this t vanishing out of their sight , dlssolvlt the body of flesh nnd bones nnd tl clothing as easily as ho had crenti them and by the same Divine power. The Pentecostal Blessing , The glorified , resurrected Jesus r malncd with the Infant Church foi forty diiys. watching o\er their Inter ests. On four or live occasions he up penred to them iignln Indifferent form < und for the further Inculcation of tin great lesson that he \\IIN risen and changed , henceforth n spirit being Then he ascended up on high to ap pear In the presence of God on behalf of his faithful ones first , as later on he will appear In the Interest of the world. The Father's recognition of the merit of his sacrifice , applied "on our behalf , " was manifested by the Impnrtatlon of the holy Spirit on Pente cost day. Traditionally this mime won derful "upper room" witnessed that outpouring of DIVIne blessing and favor , which came only upon consecrated crated believers and has come upon the same class , and upon none other , from that day unto this begetting them individually by the holy Spirit to the divine nature with Its promises of glory , honor and Immortality to the faithful , In association with the Lord Jesus In his Millennial Kingdom. That blessing was n partial fulfil ment of the Lord's word through the Prophet Joel , namely of that portion which says , "In those days will I pom out of my Splril upon my servants and upon my handmaids" ( Joel II , 281 We are glad , dear friends , that what occurred at that first Pentecost nnd what tins continued nil through this Gospel Ago. of Pentecostal blessing upon each Individual member of the Body of Christ. Is merely a foretaste of God's great favor towards Adam's race. As St. James declares (1 ( , ISi the Church Is merely "a kind of first-fruits unto God of his creatures. " True , the first-fruits In this case Is the very choicest our Lord , the glorious Head and High Priest , and his saintly fol lowers the antltyplcal tinder-priests ot the Royal Priesthood. But a great blessing Is yet to come , for there shall come a still greater outpouring ot God's Spirit as mentioned In the same prophecy in the words. "After those days , nalth the Lord , 1 will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh ; and your sons and your daughters shall seek for me. and your young men shall see actually what your ancients dreamed of. " This will have Its fulfillment during tlie Millennial Age. not that the world in general will be begotten of the holy Splril to a spirit nature like unto tlie angels and like unto Christ , as In our case , but the Lord has promised to lake away the stony heart and to give a heart of tlesh to all the willing and obedient of mankind during tlint Millennial Day. In such , a right spirit f.hall be renewed as they become obedi ent to the gracious arrangements ot Messiah's universal Empire and that right spirit In man , that right disposi tion , will be the holy Spirit God's Spirit or disposition. It was given to man originally when he was created perfect , upright. In the tuingo and likeness of God. It was lost by sin and displaced by a spirit of selfishness and sometimes by n spirit of devilish- ness. It will be the great work of that thousand years of Messiah's Kingdom to lift mankind out of sin and selfish ness and death and to restore the will ing and obedient to all that was lost In Adam and redeemed by tlie merit of the sacrifice at Calvary. With the close of the Millennial Kingdom. God shows us that all who will not have attained to the possession of his holy Spirit will be destroyed In the Second Death. Then there shall be no more sighing , nor crying , nor dying , no more sin. no more sorrow , for all the former things of sin and death shall have passed away. It will be Christ on the throne who will make all things new. Supper In the Upper Room. In closing we ask Unit In connection with what we have Just said respect' ing this "Upper Room" and the bless ings here conferred , you do not for get the special privilege which soiui twenty or thirty of us enjoyed In this same room on Friday evening lust We remind you afresh that that even Ing , after six o'clock , corresponded tc the night in which our Lord with hii disciples first celebrated tlie memorlu of tils own death wi' the loaf ant with the cup , traditionally In tills saun "Upper Hoom. " Incidentally we remurl that the early Christian Church usei this same Jewish reckoning In the an nn a I celebration of our Lord's deatl nnd resurrection , but that , later ou the method of calculating the date wu slightly modified so that this yea Good Friday and Easter , according I the revised Episcopalian Calendar , ot curred nearly a month ago Murcl 25-27. 1 feel sure that as long as live I shall not forget the blessed ei perlences of Friday evening and It memorial celebration , in this "Uppe Room. " of the great event whlc means so much to the Church nnd t t the world which symbolizes the prt dons sacrifice of Christ and also , a the Apostle explains , symbolizes th participation of all the faithful men burs 'of Christ In his sacrifice In th s broken loaf and In the cup of whlc we partake antltyplcally. May w dear friends , prove so faithful to ou consecration Vows that we will be Ir eluded by our glorious Lord amongs those who shall be counted worthy t share also his cup of joy and glory- participation in his Millennial Kluj lom and his glorious work of blessln [ nil the families of the earth !

" MOUNT M'KINLEY ' ASCENT DOUBTED CHARLES SHELDON SAYS PUBLIC SHOULD AWAIT MORE DETAILS. SOME POINTS ARE INCREDIBLE New Yorker Familiar With Region About the Peak , Points Out Tnat Only One of Fairbanks' Expedition Has Reported Its Success. Charles Sheldon , a big game sports man and explorer of New York city , who for yearti has known Tom Lloyd , Charles McGonnlgle and W. R. Tnylor , three of the four men who , according to Lloyd , reached the top of Mount McKlnley on April 3 , declared the oth er night that the public could well af ford to await a fuller report of the details of the ascent before complete acceptance of the claim. Mr. Sheldon tins hunted big game and explored all through the Alaskan country about the base of Mount Mc Klnley. He said he wns thus fully ac quainted with many of the difficulties which any party would have to sur mount to reach the top of this tallest peak on the American continent. "I think , " snld he. "It Is due to Tom Lloyd and the three others with him to withhold Judgment ns to the partial statements transmitted from Fair banks to the effect that they reached the summit of Mount McKlnley. The press reports contain so many asser tions that are not In accordance with the facts that little reliance can be placed ou them , it Is not reasonable to believe that the party had an aneroid reid barometer which would record an altitude of 20.500 feet with any dcgrco of accuracy. It Is ridiculous to sug gest that a trail was established to the top of the mountain. It is ridiculous to say that snowshoes were used most of the way up the mountain. Top of the Mountain a Double Summit. "It Is reported that the flag they left at the .summit could bo seen from the north .side of the mountain , which would be nn Impossibility , since the top of Mount McKlnley is n double summit , consisting of two ridges ex tending east and west. The south ridge , which Is the culminating peak , cannot be seen from the north. "The leader of the expedition , Tom Lloyd , and also Charlie McGonulgle and Billy Taylor , are personal friends of mine , but 1 do not know Patterson. Lloyd Is perhaps sixty or more years old. McGonnlgle and Taylor are very hardy young men , among the best dog "mushers" in the country nnd thor oughly familiar with winter travel , partlculnrly in that district. None of the three , however , knows anything about technical mountain climbing. They have never seen an Alpine rope or nn ice ax and nre not familiar with technical mountaineering equipment. "I have worked and traveled with these three men in winter. 1 feel quite certain that , although they had been within a distance of six or eight miles of the base of Mount McKlnley , none of them had been on the slope before the alleged ascent. 1 believe that the method they adopted to Investigate a route of ascent In ( lie spring with dogs Is the correct way to find 11 route to the summit , and particularly along the eastern ridges , where , the press re ports Imply , the ascent was made. Difficulties of an Ascent Tremendous. "The difficulties are tremendous , not so much the Intense cold as the fact that even willows for fuel wood do not grow within five or six miles of the base of the mountain , and timber Is at least six miles distant and prob ably even farther from an approach by the east ridges. This would neces sitate on extra amount of material fern " 1- n "The difficulties of nn ascent are so j great that , though McGonnlglo and e Taylor are courageous nnd capable of enduring the cold and physical work , a great deal of public skepticism , par tlcularly among those who are fnmillai with the hardships of mountain climb lug , is sure to exist. "Therefore It Is clearly the duty ol the press , botii to the public and tc these meu , not to encourage full cred Iblllty in the reports of the allegec ascent until the facts and details an authoritatively published , which wil enable us to form nn Intelligent Judc mciit. Only Tom Lloyd apparent . brought out the report , the other mem bcrs of the party having remained litho the Kantlshnn district , 100 miles nway so we haven't their corroborative evl IS dence. " K Mr. Sheldon went to this region li 10W for sport nnd exploration , spend lug some time nt the base of Mouu McKlnley and on the slope. He wen again in ( he summer of 1007 and spen a year there.

" Chief of Police Marqunnlt made a round trip through the east end of the Union Pacific railroad yards and other places on the east edge of the city whore It was reported hobo camp was located and that the wan- during beings suffering from the hook worm wore seeking health beside tlu still waters of the Nortlifork. Tint chief's trip , however , proved fruitless as the Weary Willies had elthur luft for other climes or the report wan erroneous.

A visitor to the camp brings linen some amusing stories of the llfo the followers of rest are leading.

"Hero you arc lucky enough to bo ono-wlnged and you nro tight , enough to refuse to go up town amt do the stunt. " The "stunt" referred to means to make the rounds of Norfolk avenuu or any place In town to get "hand outs" which consist of bread , sand wiches and any kind of eatables given by the kind housewife who throws out her pity to the poor crippled man with the sorrowful face when appeal ing to be saved from starvation. Among the dozen odd hoboes who aru < said to infest the camp south of the- Junction nre a number of these crip ples who are sent by tlie more for tunate brothers to make the rounds which often , as has been proven on In vestigation , are very fruitful. Empty beer kegs show that a great celebra tion lias taken place on the camp grounds during recent days , all provid ed for by tlie "lucky" beggars who are working on the soft spot of this hard working man's pocketbook to provide their less ambitious brothers , with "booze.
