Her Luther W. Kuhns preached at Ornco
Lutheran church yesterday on "A Sure
roundatlon , " from the text , "Mcholcl. I lay
in 55lon a chief cornerstone , elect , precious ,
anil ho that bellcvcth on Him shall not be
confounded. " 1'ctt-r I. , 2C. : He said , In part :
Tills IB n notable Instnnco of the fulfill
ment of prophecy. It tells us Oed laid a
cornerMono which Is the key to Ills church.
It U the foundation of fnlth and love. God
tcloclod It ; It suited nil purpose ; he took It ;
nnd upon It JCIon l built. The reference
cannot bo to any material structure , but to
Christ himself na Israel's true and living
foundation
Jesus Christ Is the Christian church's
divinely appointed foundation. It Is not
cold , expressionless , lifeless ntonc. It Is life
throbbing with sympathy and love , and It Is
bplrltuhl life an well that Is the church's
cornerstone. This divinely laid foundation Is
of tested solidity to bear the superstructure
of redemption. The elect character of
Christ suits Him to meet all that was re
quired for man's redemption. His precloua-
nowi makes him acceptable to all concerned
In human salvation.
The advantage arlelng from the proper use
of faith In Christ Is as broad nnd deep as
mankind's necessities. There Is the dratruc-
tlvo agency of the grapol on all flln and all
ungodliness. Unbelief seolts to bring con
fusion to the I-ord's cause , but Is llsolt
nerved with confusion and shame. Back
upon ItBolf It turned the whole unholy Inten
tion like the return of the tide. The believer
A experiences no shame , but feels the helpful
ness of his defense In the conlllct now wagIng -
Ing between Ilifih and spirit. This defcn'o Is
oat for each believer , for as far as Christians
arc concerned It overcomes In thu contest
ljct\\t.cn ovll and good by Its strenuous op-
portion to all ungodliness. This Is the help-
fnlnnsB nnd ndvantsiRO of Christ's life.
Let mu Impress upon you that only Christ
Is the Becuro ground of confidence on which
wo can place complete dependence. The
great fact In thin connection Is His perpetual
character of righteousness. Like the build
ers the ( Master describes , one on the sand
nnd the other on the rock , wo appeal for
vvlbdom to build for the future on the founda
tion that can withstand the severest storm
of lifeIn your hearts , secured by thle
cement of lo\o and fastened > by undying
devotion , lay this chlefest cornerstone , Jesus
Christ.

At Unity church yesterday Hov. Newton
D. Mann repeated a sermon dealing with
the practice of sleeping In church , which
aroused moro than usual Interest on the
occasion of Us first delivery four years ago.
The very novel theme was inndo the vehicle
for a succession of Interesting Ideas In re
gard to forms of church servlco and their
effect on the hearer , nnd also served as
nn excuse to call attention to the necessity
for helpful Interest on the part of the aud
itor In order to Inspire the preacher to his
brst effort.
Dr. Mann said that no practice Is moro
clearly authenticated as of direct succes
sion from apostolic times than that of
Hleoplng In church. Therefore no one need
hpiltate about engaging In this practice
from any apprehension that It Is a depart
ure from the example of the Christian fa
thers. In vlow of the Idle and trilling Is
sues that have divided the church , there Is
reason to rojolco that In one observance at
least -worshippers may Join with ono
voice oven though that voice bo nasal and
unmusical. It Is a tribute to the soundness
of the minister on all points of doctrine
that at the time when ho Is elucidating
them the deacons nnd other promlont per
sons In the congregation give themselves up
to quiet nnd decorous repose. They must
thoroughly believe In him or they would
never so trust him In the execution of his
delicate task.
The speaker suggested that while It Is
customary to regard this falling In an un
favorable light It Is still n most expressive
sign of toleration. The statistics of per
sons who had fallen nsle-ep In churches since
the tiny when Kutychus fell out of the win
dow during Paul's discourse , would show
when and where persecution compelled the
'wakofulnt'ss of the congregations. The
zealots who arrested heretics nnd burned
them were never caught napping. There js
this about the practice that Is cheering : It
indicates that the mind has gained In free
dom , oven If It has not In fervor.
Dr. Mann Indulged In n number of per
sonal reminiscences Illustrative of the hu
man tendency to pass the hour of worship
in a stnto of dreamy unconsciousness and-
declared that whatever vlow might bo taken
of the habit U Is a recognizable feature of
Christian worship everywhere nnd leads to
tha Inquiry to what does the church service
ewe Its proverbial dulnoss ? ;
In discussing this question Dr. Mann said
that It is to some extent accounted for by
thu fixed touttnc of most forms of worship.
Absence of this regular order might make
the services llvcllur but they would bo In
danger of losing their religious character.
Religious sentiment delights In repetitions
nnd seems to bo moro nctlvo when the
other mental operations arc partially sus
pended. When the mind Is profoundly oc
cupied the emotions arc usually quiescent
and hence there is a general tendency In
worship to cling to what Is known by heart
nml in which the congregation can partic
ipate without calling their Intellect Into
vigorous action. Ono result Is that when
thought becomes dormant the cjcllda begin
to droop and all unwittingly the worshipper
is sometimes tiansported to the land of
dreams.
The speaker referred to some of the plans
that have been adopted to prevent this som
nolent tendency , nnd of these ho mentioned
the litual that achieved the end by much
ringing of bells and flaring of lights and by
keeping the body shaken by frequent changes
of position , in the I'rolestant orders , where
the ritual Is no longer used , n different ( so
lution must bo sought. Hero the sermon is
thu important feature of the servlco and the
comparative narcotic Influence of the servlco
depends on the preacher. No splendor in
nrt or architecture will ntono for a lack In
lilm. It has become of the greatest Im
portance that ho should not only bo a
"good man , " but n man of high abilities.
The church can inner avoid Its reputation
for dullness as long as It has to accept talent
( hat can mid nn other field.
Continuing Dr. Mann referred
, to non-at-
( endancu as ono of the principal causes of
dullness In tha servlco. Any knlfo will cut
a thick click , but requires u razor to cut

n hair So the presence of a large audience
will float very ordinary preaching , but It re
quires a higher order of ability to produce
an equal effect on a paucity of hearers. Ho
also deprecated n tendency that exists In
some quarters to limit the field of the
preacher SHcnce , philosophy and phllan-
thrrp ) arc barred out and the minister Is
required to traverse a narrow path of
thought that carrier with It all the ele
ments of dullness. The Ideal preacher Is the
man who e principal organ Is the heart and
who plays on It with telling effect on other
hearts. Ho niu&t have a congregation that
Inspires as jvell as partakes of his enthusi
asms. Not Gabriel from heaven could do
much for a congregation that came only
to see his wings. Truth In the heart an
swers to truth on the tongue and religion
Is only dull and dreary to those who know-
nothing about It who have only seen Its
shadow. To those who have grasped Its
substance It Is life and jor. ,

Lesions drawn from the life of Tennjson
formed an Interesting theme for Kev.
Vyrnvvy Morgan at the First Baptist church
ycstrrday morning. Ilcv Joseph Hlllson of
Carver. Mads. , read the Scriptural lesson and
opened the services with pravcr.
Dr. Morgan chose 1'hlllpplans , 4-8 : "If
there be any virtue and If there bo nny
pralso think on these things" for his text ,
lie * ald IIP had no apology to offer for tak-
ng the life of Tcnnjson for hU subject.
Thp poet wns a man who had lived to the
ripe old age of 83 years without a single
gray hair. He was the foremost man of
.ho century. His life showed him to bo a
iroachor of Ood. AH In Wordsworth , Dr.
Morgan said , Oed had embodied some of His
thoughts nnd purposes. In this ago when
the minds of thoughtful men are turning
: helr attention to n spiritual life the speaker
thought It right that the life of n man who
evinced the strongest belief In Immortality
should receive some consideration. Ho was
worthy of n place In the great English na
tional sanctuary at Westmltmter.
Dr. Morgan referred to the life of Robert
Browning nnd told how/after / struggling
through fifty years of scoffing nnd mlsun-
lorstandlng praise came to him at last. Ho
icld that that Is the way It Is In life. Ood's
tings may bo crucified but they are always
novlng towards their coronation' . Tennjson's
path , ho said , was not strewn with roses ,
ilo was of retiring disposition , brusque In
speech , which Dr. Morgan thought was as
sumed perhaps as a protection against an In
quisitive public. His private life wns mis
represented by people who Insisted that the
better part of him was to be found in his
poems. They urged that his life - wasvery
Inferior if not sordid. His biography shows
bow greatly they were mistaken , because In
this It Is demonstrated positively that the
man stood flitt , the poetj second. Ho re
ferred to one of the poet's last poems , "Tho
Oak , " In which the life ono should live 's
tenderly touched. He thought the gold of
Tennyson's autumn was much finer than the
gold cf his spring. He was a man chastened
nnd true. Gladstone thought It an honor to
bo counted his friend and referred to him as
n philosopher. Thackeray , who hated all
sham and hypocrisy , spoke of Tennyson ns
one of the wisest men ho had ever met.
Dr. Morgan said Tennyson's later life
stood forth all the brighter on account of
the sombreness of his youth. He was
raised by a Puritan aunt who referred to
him aa an accursed child. His father , al
though a minister was austere and believed
In the old form of religion , yet the poet
drew his religion from the evangelists of
the Bible and not from theologians. Relig
ion preceded theology with him as the life
of the plant picccdcs botanv.
The speaker said that Tennyson placed a
high estimate upon the value of human
kindness , or love between man and man.
This Is shown In his poem where the fol
lowing lines are found :
"Kind hearts are moro than coronets
And simple faith than Norman blood. "
The argument has been used , said Dr.
Morgan , that Tennyson Wns the poet of the
aristocrats ; of the cultured classes. Ho did
not believe this true , because the Ufa of
the poet leads ono to think differently. Ho
had a rich sympathy for the poor at all
times , letters or words of congratulation or
appreciation from them being received with
moro delight by him than when they came
from those high In power. When ho took
his seat In the House of Lords he was over
whelmed by congratulatory telcgiams and
letters , yet one. from Susan Eaton , lls moth
er's cook , was treasured by him as the
most valuable. When 83 ho was charmed
by a letter from a poor man his own age.
In tills letter , expressed most ungrammat
ically , was the. . congratulation of the old
man which ho held was "just as true when
echoed from the cottage as If It came from
the palace. "
The speaker said the poet's life evinced
hla complete faith In immortality. At 30
ho held that "tho far-off world seems nearer
than the present" At fortj-ono he said
that he could hardly understand how any
Imaginative man who had known what it
was to bo deeply loved could doubt the
existence of the spiritual world.
Dr. Morgan said In closing that It was not
strange that Tennyson should bo the man
most loved by poor nnd rich , because 1m
stood os nn example of one whoso whole
life vvas , devoted to nn expression of his be
lief In the immortality of the soul. Ho
held that death Is the door whirl : scpatntes
this Hfo from the spiritual. The speaker
thought Oed had set His seal upon the poet
In letting him live to the age of fc3
without adding a single gray hair to
his head. Ho was possessed of ail his men
tal qualities to the end. This was mani
fested by his unfinished work , which Is
stamped ns expressing mental vigor equal
to thut shown In earlier poems. His wish
wns fulfilled. The melodious chant contin
ued Into the very Jaws , of death itself. At
the last as the physician stood beside his
bed he asked If death
wore near. When as
sured of Its approach ho remarked : "All Is
well. " As ho breathed his last the old
rector who watched beside him pronounced
this benediction , "Lord Tennyson , God has
taken you away the God who made you a.
prince among men. Farewell "

CIirlNtlaii Doctrine. "
Hev. 0. W , Hoislcr , D. D. , of Denver
preached at the KnunUo Memorial Lutheran
church yeaterday morning. Ho took for his
text St. Matthew , xvll , S. "And when they
had lifted up their ojes they saw no man
save Jesus only. " The minister's prelude
was a word description of the events about
the scene of the transfiguration , when
Christ , James , I'eter and John wore to
gether In the mountain. Speaking of the
effect that strange tccno had upon the
apostles , ho said : "They had seen the
transfiguration of the Son of Man , They
had also seen Moses and Ulljah in glory.
They had seen the testimony of Moses , ns
representative of the law , and of niijnb , at
representative of the prophets , to the char
acter of Jesus. Then they had seen Moses
and Elijah lifted up , and Jcisub was llieru
alone.
"Jesus only is the substance of the Chris
tine doctrine. Ho Is the foundation of our
religion. Ho stands at the threshold of the
Christian sjstoin. Christianity Is u body of
religious truths. It embraces a schema of
truth. It uiubodles a bystem of fact to
closely woven together that it cannot be
broken. Take away Christ from tbo Chris
tian religion and you have absolutely noth
ing , left. Apart from Him there is no Chris
tian religion , All Its doctrines are the
events of Ills llfo wrought out. Ho is the
embodiment 6f the truth. Cease -worrying
about abstract doctrines and lay hold of
Christ.
"Some say they cannot explain His teach
ings as wo do , anil I say to them , Look to
I Christ only. It Is not whether I look upon
I certain doctrines as jou do , but whether I
, take Christ ns the substance of all truth.
Jesus cam * from heaven thM Ho might
make luminous the pathway back to heaven.
Ho is the conquering life. Ho has been pro
nounced the highest model of religion within
our thought. He Is the only ono who can say
'Do ns I have done ' Ho only Is the satisfy
ing portion for your soul. He only can sat
isfy the longings of the soul for truth. Ho
in a friend who stlckcts closer than a
brother He Is ix helper of the helpless , a
comforter for the weary and heavy laden
and to the oppressed and nick of heart Ho
offers tender words of encouragement. He
13 our llfo and llht. Ho Is our hope and
our heaven. Ho Is our redemption , our all

"If tvo were called upon to answer what
Is the church's greatest need today wo
would answer less dogmatism and moro npk
piled Christianity. "
This was the declaration made by Hev.
Fletcher M. Slsson , pastor of the Hnnscom
Park Methodist Kplscopal church , In a ser
mon preached to his congregation nt" the
morning service. The subject of the dis
course wns , "How to Make n. Church Go , "
nnd the text was from Acts xx , 28 : "Tho
church of Oed which Ho hath purchased
with His own blood. " Dr. Slsson said :
Like every Institution with which man
has to do , the church on earth will often
reflect the frailties that are Incident to hu
man nature. On Ood's part there , can bo
no failures ; If Hli will were always followed
the church would never go backward but
would always move forward In the right.
Wo nro convinced the highest Ideal of n
church haa not yet been reached , which
must bo chargeable to man and not to Ood.
Then wo conclude man's agency causes the
church to go right or wrong. There are
'three questions that confront us In the con
sideration of our theme Tlr.st , What Is the
church ? Second , What Is Its mission ; nnd
third , Who is responsible for Us destiny.
Some definitions of the Apostle Paul's Ideas
of the church were quoted : "A band of
brethren , " "Ono body In Christ , of which
Christ is the head , " "To .bo Increased by
the odlfylng of Itself In love , " 'Tellow citi
zens with saints and all God's household , "
"A holy temple fitly Joined to
gether for a habitation of Oed through
the spirit. " So Important was Christ
estimate of the church that ho made a new
commandment for It , namely , "That yo love
one another. "
The secret of the church's life Is found
In its love for every one In HH fold , bo
they the weaker or the stronger. Then < wo
would define the church as a company of
believers In God's word , pledged to each
other and to Jesus Christ , their head. The
object of the church is primarily to preach
the gospel llrst to those nearest us by our
actions , words and direct appeal , then to
those in heathen lands , which may bo done
through the established channels of the
church organization also by the personal
promptings of the individual heart. Hero
the preacher gave a graphic description of
the personal work of men like Bishop Wil
liam Taylor and also the enthusiasm and
success of the student volunteer missionary
movement , which numbers over 1,000 In the
field today , with every Indication that they
will be largely reinforced by many hun
dreds , if not thousands , In itho near future * .
The secondary object of the church is Its
enlargement In culture , comforts nnd higher
civilization , as well ns restraining the vi
cious and extending a helping hand to the
weak. Who are responsible for the destiny
of the church , whether It go backward or
forward , can have but one answer , namely ,
each member of the compact. If the church
Is to be made to go wrong , let there be a
self-seeking and skeptical minister in the
pulpit , T\lth a selfish unconsecrated people
in the pew.
If the church Is to go right , let there bo
a g6dly , believing minister In the pulpit ,
with an unselfish , thoroughly consecrated
people in the pew , neither preacher or people
ple proclaiming their doubts or asking oth
ers what they disbelieve , but publishing
their faith and asking for what others be
lieve. If we were called upon to answer
what is the churcdi's greatest need today , we
would answer less dogmatism and moro
applied Christianity. In giving hearty and
liberal support to all the institutions of the
church , In making all the services attractive
to rich and poor , to men of the world as
well as the professors , Irf caring for the
downtrodden and helpless as well OH courtIng -
Ing the successful and most prominent mem
bers of society , is recognizing the fact that
wo are still Inhabitants of the earth and not
of the skies.

In a brief sermon upon the topic , "A
Recitation in a Word , " the word being
"until , " Rev. Thomas Anderson of the Calvary - I 1
vary Baptist church yesterday morning Im
pressed upon the minds of , his congregation I
the value of persistency and the absolute I ,
need of it ns an essential element In any
undertaking In order to obtain success.
I
The preacher laid stress upon the great !
prevalence of the word "until" throughout
the scriptures. A great example of per I
sistence is given In the unconquerable love
of God , who has undergone all sacilllces and
even death In His lovo. This Is freighted
with hope for all Christians , for It Indi
cates that God will not lot them go until
Ho has completed His work. It also fur
nishes a guide to Christians in their work
upon earth and bids them not to tease to
carry salvation to even the most hopeless on
this sldo of eternity. Continuing the
preacher said :
"We should determine what our duty Is
nnd push along that path until wo reach
the cud. There Is a good reason why so
many of the prayers of Christians go un
answered and s > o many Christian efforts re
sult in naught. The trouble Is that wo
pray by bits , do our work by bits , give by
bits. Wo make some great resolutions nnd
In the llrst flush of the enthusiasm with
which we are possessed wo push ahead
But soon wo become discouraged , our work
is dropped and our efforts have resulted in
nothing.
"It is the same in business , politics ,
knowledge and every other branch of life
Thousands live and die In poverty and
curse the advancement of their neighbors
who prosper because they know and practice
the art of persistence. People are discour
aged nt the difficulties that arise before
them and consequently fllvo up and fall ,
whereas , If they went ahead with persistence
they would be succcsifiil.
"There Is a lesson for us In the church.
Too much of our powder Is scattered nnd
our power Is lost. As the scriptures tell
us , the Lord goes at something and keeps
nt It until His object Is ronll/ed. In the
same manner wo should concentrate our
powers upon some ono purpose Instead of
dividing them among many , nnd thus wo
will succeed nnd the church will grow. "

The annual feast day of St. John's Colle-

appropriate exorcises during the forenoon.
Karly mass was celebrated as usual. The
10 o'clock services vvcro somewhat In the
nature of n memorial to the tllsclplo St.
John , the patron saint for whom the church
Is named. These ( services wore conducted
by Father Broni-eest and were listened to
by a largo congn tatlon. The decorations
consisted of roses and numcrons vases of
cut flowers. Bishop Scannell wns present ,
but took no part in the sen-Ices , i
In his sermon Father Brousgcest spoke of
the early llfo of St. John , his work prior
to Joining with Christ and his preaching In
the wilderness of Judca. St. John the
speaker described as the impersonation of
friendship and diverging slightly , he desig
nated friendship as ono of the great vir
tues bequeathed by God to humanity. Re
turning to his subject , ho described the
saint as the boon companion and constant
' friend of Christ. He was the favorite disci
ple and the patron of all perfection ; he was
i the disciple whom Christ loved above nil
others ; ho was the virgin saint nnd the ono
sent out to teach nnd preach the gospel.
This saint was wrapped up In Christ and
Christ was wrapped up in him ; ho wns
| ( good and true and having been associated
with 'the ' Savior for so long a time he con
ceived nothing but the purest thoughts.
St. John was pictured as a good example
for man to Imltato , his llfo having been
that of a true and consistent Christian dur
ing all of the jears of his existence. , which
wore numbered nt nearly five score. St.
John's words , "Love ono another , " which
1 have resounded In the ears tin ouch so many
ages , the speaker contended , are as perti
nent today as when they were uttered , nnd
If they nro followed throughout life the
world will bo much better.
