Ollchrlst of the Illnck Hills. ANNUAL hintMON. pr. llcrrlclc on the Ainu uiiil Methods of the Oo | iel. "Tho Gospel of the Kingdom , Its Aim , Its Jilotliod and Us .Result , " was the topic of Iho annual sermon before the Homo Mls- Blonary society , preached nt the First Moth- odUt church last evening by Hev. Dr. Samuel 13. Herrlck of Mount Vernon church , Boston. Ills text wns St. Luke , vlll , 19-23 ( revised .version . ) : "And John calling unto him two of his disciples , sent them to the Lord , eaylng , Art thou he that comcth , or look wo for another ? And when tha men were come unlo him , they eald , John the Baptist hath Bent us unto thce , saying , Art thou ho lhat comcth , or look wo for another ? In that liour ho cured many of the diseases and plagues and evil spirits , nnd on many that iwcro blind ho bestowed sight. And ho answered and said unlo them , Qo your way nud toll John what things ye have seen and lieard ; the blind receive their sight , the lame walk , the lepers are cleansed , and Iho uoaf hear , the dead nro raised up , the poor liavo good tidings preached to them. And ulossod Is ho whosoever shall find none oc casion of stumbling In me. " Ho said In part : The sacred writers , whllo they handle the characters of their heroes lovingly , never flinch from the Iruth concerning them. Their bforlralls are faithful to shadows nnd oven 'to blemishes. Hero wo have John , who had ueen bold enough to beard the Implacable Herod nnd charge him to his face with his Bhnmeless criminalities ; who was , upon Iho Oilghest authority , the grcatcsl of men born of woman ; whoso prophetic Insight had been earliest to discover In Jcsua of Naznroth the Lamb of God and the world's Redeemer wavering now In his dearest convictions , .mid sending forlh n cry , almost of despair : "Toll us , Art thou Ho Art thou Ho that conioth , or must the world wait for an other ? " U Is a conspicuous Instance of Iho loitering faith. And perhaps there never was a tlmo In nil the Christian countries when the disciples of Christ had greater reason than now for Umnkfulncss that It , vas no faithfully recorded. John the Baptlsl came very near to looking upon Christ as many In these days are looking upon Christi anity , namely , ns n dismal failure. Chrlsl , vras not doing what John felt that ho had u right to expect of Him. Why was this King delaying the assumption of his crown nnd Ills ofllclnl herald suffered to languish In the dungeon of Machacrus ? Why was Jlerod RtlU rioting In licentiousness and TTulty ? What Is this deliverer of Ills peo- u doing lo vlmllcalo His characler ? And If John's convictions were shaken by his own experience the accounts which came to Slim of Christ's general work wore not moro reassuring. And great minded as John was , prophet nnd taint ns he was , caged , help less , disappointed , Is was natural that ho should have boon disturbed and shaken In Ins faith. Men nro still nffccled In the same iwny. Eighteen centuries of Christ's pres ence and power , according lo His promise , 'Lpl I am wllh you always , oven unto the end of the world , " have not sufficed to si- Jotico the question. "Art thou Ho lhat com- cth ? Art thou still Iho hope of mankind , or Is our fallh vain and must we look for an- olhcr ? " It has been remarked frequently within the last few years that among the moral causes which In the present ago nro laying inrlsllan belief open to the atlacks of Intellec tual Inquiry ihcre Is none that moro widely or moro deeply undermines our spiritual courage than ihe contrast between the splendor of the promises of Christianity nnd * { ie posslblllly Of their actual realization , rtviih almost every decade somb new fact or some new series of facts , In science , In archaeology , In history.

ANHWIIH TO TIII3 CIIALLKNOH. The challenge nhlch the church ban to encounter In the niino of the Mnnler docn not rMcnltally differ from llml whlrh was offered lo himself. And pcrhapn Iho re- | ionjo which he donned sufllclcnt then ought to be considered stiftlclcnt now. It will bo If nho can truthfully nuke It. lint the church ritn truthfully mnkc the re- uponso ? How far run she , who claims to bo ChrUt'n body In Iho world , point to what she In doing n a ntilllclont vindication of her cl.ilnmt I'lrnt , bt mo auk you to notlro that what JI-HIIS pinphaslreii nnd places In the fore ground of Ills answer In John's challviiRo Is Hlmply hbi 'free , untrammolcd and most varied excrclso of lipnlgnant power. Ho l dirfimlng henlth and life and Joy nmonrt these whom society In genfral Is caring lltllu nhoiil , Now the pith of the answer liy In the Implication that John had fallen Into the mistake of Identifying the coming and rclRii of the Christ with already cxIsllnR Instllullonn and condition * , John never rose to the conception of Chrlnt'n reign nn the way nnd trulh and llfo : n a gplrllunl force , n benignant temper which should gradually pervade every uphcro of human thought and action , a spirit of benignity which nhould become the supreme power In human mjcloly to put It Into the one finest word , "grace. " And In the transition from Judaism lo Chrlflllanlly Iho mlslako was car ried over nnd has been moro or less mis- chlovoim from that day to this. Institutions como after a whileto have A conventional vnluo which Is entirely Independent of their original purposes. Wo hnvo nn Institution running Into Inslltullonallsm. Olllco prosll- luted to oUlclallsm ; dogmn degraded to dogmatism ; ritual deteriorated lo rltnallnin , nnd the church , ccclestn , corrupted Into ccclcslatlclsm. Bo It Is ( | Ulto pornlhlo that Christians may pervert Iho ItiHlllullon of Chrlsllanlly Just as the JOWB perverted these of their religion. Where John the Baptist put the temple wo put the church. Where ho put the fonnuns of the law wo have put the formulas of faith , meaning by that certain stalemonts about God and Christ and the future llfo. Our Christ , I.ko his Messiah , must work and redeem and reign within thcso times , or Ilko John wo fall to him. recognlzo t But to found an Institution In the world was manifestly not n primary purpose with our Lord. Not an Institution , but a life. So little , Indeed , did Ho seem to Ills contempo raries to core for Inxtltullons lhat they charged Him with profanity. Such being Iho mission nnd Iho aim of Jesus , what was Ills method ? The method was by a pertinent ministry to the most ob trusive need of Iho moment. Ho began with the practice of the simplest philosophy. What was Immediately pressing upon the man wh ; > stood before Him ; that was the open door by which Ho would enter. The prac tical problem of the hour , the crying need of the appealing misery before Him , hero was Ills task. RESULTS OF THE METHOD. Dealing with men afler this method , Christ's first great result was a redemp tion of man from a condition of helplesi- nn'33 , usclcssnossand hurdcnsomcncss to himself nnd to others. "Tho lame walk. " Men are put upon tholr feet and have no longer to bo carried. "The blind receive their sight ; " they are put In the way of gathering Intelligence for themselves. And this suggests the second grand result of the Christ method. Each soul so blessed be comes a now signal of redemption , a now star , flaming In the gloom , n new spring gushing up In the desert , a new point of leavening power In the mass of unleavened .llfo. Qod's day comes everywhere by the Increment of dawn. Ho has Himself revealed - vealed the method , and If wo nro true lo that wo need not fear Uio result. There Is danger lest our faith be too.hasty and too narrow. In the order of our Congregational churches , and In our Congregational Homo Missionary society , which Is simply a con venient name for our Congregational church life , In Us endeavor to minister to the 1m- mcdlalo needs of our beloved counlry , wo have , as I believe , the most efficient Instru mentality for doing the worjc which Is sot before us' U , ls lcxlblo ) and frco. U Is ener gized by consecrated spirit and high pur pose. No man can rightly criticise Its ad- mlnlstrallon or Its temper. It does well and faithful what wo behind It enable It to do. If anything or anybody Is fairly sub ject lo the challenge of the hour. It Is not It , but wo' , the Congregational Christians of America , who must answer to the chal lenger. Who Is best qualified to answer such ques tions as these ? Whom shall wo Congrega tional Christiana of America depute to res pond In our behalf In these days of. ours to the everlasting challenge which Is thrown down at the feet of our holy religion ? Who has the best right to answer Him , who Himself , "without whore to lay Ills head , " was "anointed to preach the gospel to .tho poor , to heal the broken hearted , to preach deliverance to the captives and receiving sight to the blind , to set at liberty them that are bruised , to preach the acceptable year of the Lord ? " There Is a man who can answer for us , but ho Is too modest. Fathers and brethren , will answer for him. It Is ono who has Joyfully taken It for his mission to carry a. cup of cold water to his thirsty brother , caring Iltllo for any em phasis upon Iho cup , whether It bo of gold or silver , of vulgar tin nr rudest potlery , carIng - Ing only for the dying need and for the water of llfo which can banish that thirst with an clernal Fatlsfactlon. It Is of all Christ's dlclplcs that I know the humble , self-forgetting , unworldly Congregational homo missionary. NIIUASItA.SUNI | > AY SCHOOL IVOItKHltS.

We recognize the tariff of 1890 , known as the McKlnloy act , as the ablest pxpres- Hlon of the patriotic principle of protection yet enacted , and condemn and denounce any attempt to icpeal or amend It which docs not have for Its object better pro tection to American labor and American Interests than Is secured by It. 6. We denounce the unjust and Inequita ble tariff measure , known as the Wilson bill , and the senate substitutes therefor and amendments proposed thereto , as un patriotic , favornble to trusts and sectional In their provisions , nnd ns subversive of the prosperity and happiness of tru people of the United States. The change from specific to ad valorem duties would promote undervaluations , fraudulent Invoices and Increase Importa tions with a loss of revenue to the govern ment of many millions , and- result In a constantly Increasing annual deficiency , which it Is proposed to meet by the resort to such war measures as Income tax nnd Increased Internal dulles. 7. We denounce the altempt of cbngress to destroy the principle of reciprocity. 8. We endorse the sentiment of the na tional grange , I. e. , that all tariff laws shall protect the products of the farm as well as the product of the fnctory. 9. We demand such protection for sheep husbandry as will secure fair prices for wool. 10. Wo denounce the treatment of Ameri can farmers and worklngmen by the demo cratic senate. II. We denounce the present democratic administration , its Hawaiian policy having been a national disgrace. 12. We denounce the administration of the present pension bureau ns a deliberate betrayal of the welfare of union soldiers and sailors. 13. Wo demand the enactment of such legislation ns will prevent the immigration of the vicious and criminal classes ; of la borers under contract ; of paupers and an archists. IK We favor bimetallism. Sliver as well ns gold Is ono of the great prqducts of the United States. Its coinage ns used as a circulating medium should be steadily maintained and constantly encouraged by the national government , nnd we advocate such a policy aa will , by discriminating leg islation or otherwise , most speedily re store to silver Us rightful place as a money metal. 15. Wo denounce the avowed purpose of the democratic leaders to restore the era of "wildcat" and "red dog" money by re pealing the prohlbilory 10 per cent tax on state bank Issues. All money of whatever kind should bo under national and state control. 1C. We commend the Nlcaraguan canal.
