Their Sabbath In Omnha was passed vcr ;
quietly by Admiral and 'Jlrs. ' Schlcy yestcr
day. In company with General and Mrs
Mnndcrton they attended the morning Bcrv <
Icca nt Trinity cathedral , which wai
crowded with people who came not nlom
to worship but to Improve nn opportunlt ;
to sco Omaha's distinguished guest. Aftei
the services they were driven back to tin
Mnndcrson residence and thcnco to Ilappi
Hollow , where they were entertained a
dinner by Mr. and Mrs. J. II. N. Patrick
A short drlvo occupied the remainder o
the afternoon and the evening was spon' '
quietly at the > Mandorson residence.
Although the anticipated attendance o
Admiral and iMrs. Schloy attracted an nudl *
cnco that filled every sent In Trlnltj
cathedral there was no unusual crush am
asldo from an element of patriotism thai
ran through the service there was little U
Indicate that the congregation Included sc
Illustrious a guest. The Schloy party drovt
to the cathedral In the iMandcrson carriage
and were seated In the pew of Henry W
Yates , which had been reserved for theli
use. There was no demonstration beyond t
general turning of heads and a subduct
murmur as the party passed up the aisle.
It had been arranged that Bishop WorthIngton -
Ington should deliver the discourse , but as
ho was unable to do so the denn , Rev
Campbell Fair , spoke very ably from tlu
text : "Where the spirit of the Lord is , there
la liberty. "
The sermon referred almost exclusively tc
the real elements of greatness of this
country and to the Importance of rcllglou-
Influence In connection with Its present
achievements and future development. Ir
beginning Rev. Fair said that wo are now
celebrating the anniversary of the comlnp
down from heaven to earth of the Spirit 01
God. Even his own church could not live
Its llfo without the Inspiration of the Holj
Spirit. This Is to the church what etcnir
Is to machinery. The moment steam enters
the cylinders the ponderous Ily wheel re
volves and the machinery Is In motion. Sc
the church hns great machinery of detail
and a wonderful power of organization , bill
It la also dead until the dlvino Insplratlor
glvte It motion and power.
The speaker then proceeded to discuss the
power of the Spirit In its relation to the
republic. Ho said that when a republic
roaches a point where it is truly great lit
greatnr-ss consists In the purity of Us citi
zens. Any country Is lacking In the essen
tial elements of greatness when It Is lack
ing In purity. Wo must bo a moral people
Wo Americans must bo actuated by principle
for there Is no national condition that is
higher than to bo known ns a moral people ,
The Holy Spirit teaches us to love what Is
right and to hate what is wrong. This Js
the foundation of national morality.
Continuing , Rov. Fair declared that Indus
try Is another essential element In national
greatness. When people 'become ' Idle they
'become mischievous. Idleness is the poison
that has sapped the power of many great
nations and led them to decay. A nation
Is great when It looks on labor as a dignity
and not a. dlssrcre. Woo to our republic
when nny considerable portion of Its people
regard labor ns undignified. The Holy Splrll
tnlls the carpenter how to use his chlsol us
certainly ns it tells the bishop how to fulfill
his , office.
The third element of national greatness In
the vlow of the speaker was real
patriotism. Ho asserted that that
citizen docs not llvo up to the
full measure of his citizenship who lovca
his country' so little that ho absents him
self from the polls where his ballot Is needed
as surely ns the volleys of the army or the
thunder of the navy. The Holy Spirit makes
a patriot as well as it makes a Christian ,
There aru two things that patriotism de
mands. Ono Is to make our republic re
spected and Uio other is to make it feared.
The highest eulogy that can be voiced of a
nation Is that Its power Is respected among
the nations of tbo world. It Is equally essen
tial that the republic should bo feared. Some
notions know today what they did not'know
twelve or thirteen months ago fear of the
United States of America.
To bo respected abroad , loved nt home ,
and feared by all should bo the goal of na
tional endeavor. In conclusion It was nrguod
that it Is necessary that the Spirit of God
should como among us and touch our 70,000-
000 of people with.tho religion that comes
from heaven.
The musical features of the service were
especially elaborate , The choir sang the To
Doum In B minor by Dudley Buck and the
Jubilate in D by the same composer. The
anthem was the festal anthem , "Pralso the
Lord , " by Handeggor , and Miss Bishop sang
the solo , "Tho Ixml Is My Light. " by Alli
son. The concluding solo was the national
anthem , sung by Jules Lumbard and the full
choir.
After the service a few members of the
congregation were Introduced to Admiral and
airs. Schley and their departure was re
garded with repressed enthusiasm by a crowd
of several hundred people , who had assem
bled outside of the churcji In anticipation
of the event ,
The Schloy program for today consists of

and the card reception by General and Sirs.

At the regular services held at All Saints'
Episcopal church Sunday morning the rector ,
Rov. Mnekay , administered holy communion
to eighty young women who make up the
organization known as the Sisterhood
Church. In connection with thla society the
rector Is now striving to organize a broth-
crhood.s which will , bo composed of the
young men of the parish. The young men
who deslrn to participate in this organiza
tion will meet nt the church on the evening
of June 1 , when all of the plans wlU bo
perfected.
In addressing the congregation Sunday
morning , Rov. Mackay In epeaklng of the
operations of the Holy Spirit eald that this
Spirit U a fact and not a dogma of the
Imagination ; It was likened to the Influence
of mind over mind , and while upon this
line of thought the rector explained that In
mesmeric ! Influences , It Is necessary that the
demonstrator of the mtmerlc ) power nuiot

This Illustration was used to show that Ir

Thrlot the opportunity Is offered , and thej
usually accept In the event tint they arc
not skeptical and are willing to take thi
hand that is offered to assist them In fol
lowing the straight and narrow path thai
leads to llfo everlasting.
Chrl't , the speaker said , taught the Holj
Spirit to the apostles , /but / the Holy Splrll
did not stop with the passing away of these
men long centuries ago , but Instead , till1
teaching has been Rolni ; on over since and Is
felt todny Just as much as then.
Referring to the fact of Rov. Brlggs leav
ing the Presbyterian church and being or
dained as a priest In the Episcopal faith , the
speaker expressed the opinion that the
action of the noted dlvino would In in :
way overturn cither church , but that In
stead , It wtuld advance the spiritual Inter
ests of the latter denomination M the rever
end gentleman Is nn advanced thinker a u1

In the matter of theology , Rt-7. Maekaj
declared that the creed of the church Is
Identical with that of centuries ago and
will always remain the snmo. The Bible
story of Jonah and the Whale waa de
scribed OB a beautiful allegory to show how
that when men have strayed away from
Christ they may be brought back again

'Tho Moral Bearing of the Trusts" was
discussed last evening at the First Congrega
tional church by the pastor , Rev. Hubert C.
Herring. His sermon dealt largely upon
the Influences of trusts , the relationship
existing between employer and employes and
the effect of their treatment upon the lives
of the latter. After referring to the name
as n misnomer , ho said n great difference
exists between the symptoms of a disease
and the disease Itself. It Is of no use to
treat symptoms. Then directing his atten
tion to his subject he said :
"Tho trust Is not n disease , tut n symp
torn. Therefore , all our efforts to cure It
are misdirected. Our nntl-trust , anti-pool
ing. antl-assoclatlon laws ought all to betaken
taken off our statute books nnd carefully
placed In the waste basket. They never
have done and will not do nny pood. Their
only service has been to furnish unscrupul
ous politicians with n weapon with which
to threaten nnd blackmail corporations.
"I have very great doubt about their
Justice nnd propriety If they were efficacious.
I cannot understand how wo can for.bld two
merchants from consolidating their stocks
and carrying on business as ono Ilrm. If
two , why not three or 300 ? The road to
liberty does not run through the valley of
oppression. Let us not In our restlessness
under the encroachments of capital violate
our principles.
"If the trust wrongs Its employes or uses
its power to deprive the public of the neces
sities of llfo or bribes legislatures or per
forms nny other criminal act It , of course ,
should bo prosecuted the same as any indi
vidual or corporation. But the mere fact
that It Is a combination , largo or small , docs
not and cannot make It an outlaw.
"I will not dwell on the enormous , be
wildering , unprecedented increase of trusts ,
for wo are all perfectly familiar with it.
It cannot safely bo assumed that this In
crease Is all duo to the belief of the busi
ness world that the trust furnishes the most
profitable method of doing business. It Is
partly duo to the fact that a good many
long heads and slippery consciences have
seen in the present craze nn opportunity to
form paper companies and float fictitious
stock. The most lucrative occupation as
yet discovered Is that of printing stock cer
tificates and afllxlng the names of n presi
dent and secretary thereto , If you can only
sell them , and there appears to bo largo
possibilities in that line nowadays. Of
course , It Is robbery. If you form a corpo
ration with $10,000,000 Invested and Issue
stock to the amount of $20,000,000 and suc
ceed In making it pay dividends , then the
general public is fleeced to at least the
amount of the Interest on the extra stock
Issue. If you do not make It pay , then the
people who bought the stock are fleeced.
In many cases It will TJO both. Meanwhile
your promoter , securely seated on his llttlo
pllo of preferred stock , can view with tran
quillity the bursting of the bubble.
"But there nro trusts and trusts. Some
came Into being borause of the prosperity
of the business which forms them. Capital
Is seeking investment. It flnds a line which
scorns to bo making money , secures options
for the purchase of different plants , Inves
tigates , flnds it will pay , buys , consolidates
under economical management and goes
ahead. It may or may not secure a monopoly
ely In Its ibuslncss. It secures a virtual
control of the market within certain bounds.
"Another class arises out of adversity. An
officer of a heavy trust told mo once how
It came to bo organized. 'Wo were carrying
our business on separately , ' said he , 'ranging
the country over with our salesmen , cutting
under on prices and adulterating our goods
so as to meet the cut , until wo were com
pletely worn out nnd disgusted. Wo con
cluded to get together nnd did so. Now wo
furnish pure goods nt a living profit. Wo
still have competition but our smaller com
petitors nro generally glad to follow our
scale of prices rather than Invite n fight by
cutting rates. '
"Still another class springs up In lines
where competition Is limited by the nature
I of things. For instance , a company gets
possession of all anthracite coal mines and
railways leading thereto. The only compe
tition loft is the Indirect and limited ono
of soft coal , gas and gasoline. It charges
us $3.DO per ton nnd It Is only because of
Its tenderness of heart that It docs not
charge us more , The Standard Oil company
has something like the same exclusive con
trol of the oil fields. The Omaha Gas com
pany , Water company nnd street railway
have the same monopoly in their respective
departments In this city. There is no room
nor legitimate possibility of a rival com
pany. "
Rov. Herring said the discussion of trusts
was a discussion of the whole business and
economic condition of our time. Ho con
sidered capitalism the symptom and love of
money the germ which produces the symp
tom. No anti-toxin has been discovered
which will eradicate the bacteria. It has
gone through so many stages that It has
finally reached an ncuto point where it Is
marked by such features ns these : "The con
centration of wealth nnd commercial power
In few and fewer hands , The substitution of
Impersonal for personal relations In Indus
try , Employer nnd employed are separated.
The corporator has taken the place of the
Individual ; the building up of tha city and
the degradation of the country ; the suprem
acy of money and machinery over personal
ity , Individuality and manhood.

republic throiiRh the rebellion spoke neai
the close of his llfo ns follows :
"I sco in the future a crisis arising thai
unnerves me and causes mo to tremble foi
the safety of my country. As a result ol
the war , corporations have been enthroned
nn era of corruption In high places will fol
low ami the money power of the countrj
will endeavor to prolong lie reign by work'
Ing upon the prejudices of the people until
all wealth Is aggregated Into a few hand !
and Uio republic Is destroyed. I feel nt this
point moro anxiety for the safety of Jnj
I country than over before , oven lu the mldsl
of war. "
After quoting Trot. Small of Chicago and
Dr. Washington Gladden , who spoke In the
same vein , Rev. Mr. Herring said U wa
not his Intention to speak of the economic
Influences of trusts , but of their bearing ot
| character , Intelligence , freedom and brother-
i hood. Other losses may bo endured , but the
I loss of these means national ruin. It was
' evident to him that the swift concentration
1of 1 capital was making a nation of employes ,
i He drew a picture of the future , when the
I small merchant , manufacturer and stock
raiser will become representatives of large
corporations which will absorb their In
terests. Ho believed It a great evil. He
thought the moral discipline acquired In
serving othcra might bo good. Ho referred
to the teachers of the city as an example
'of ' fidelity in service. He believed the trou-
, bio lies largely in the person for whom one
is working. If a person holds a position
under conditions which ho hatca simply be
cause ho must to earn IIH ! living , then , the
speaker said , ho is a slave. Continuing in
i this line , ho said :
! "A largo part of the work done in this
1 country today Is done , not Joyously and
, hopefully , as work ought to bo done , but
1 sullenly or with uneasy conscience. This
I means loss of manhood and manhood la
the one product which this earth can ill
nfford to spare. "
While this is the condition of the em
ployed , Hcv. Mr. Herring said , that of the
employer was much worse. Even the grace
of God , ho did not think , could do anything
for the man who amasses his riches in the
manipulation of stocks , the cornering of
markets or the excessive profits of monopoly.
A blight -will descend upon him and rest
upon his children. They had loat their own
souls In the mad struggle for wealth. Ho
said that the result of this condition of
affairs Is that the mass must remain miser
ably poor. It means the destruction of the
mlddlo class , which has been the most valua
ble element of a community.
Not only Is personal character Influenced ,
said the speaker , but the national character
Is affected. Ho held that the Influence of
these conditions Is felt upon free Institutions.
In reference to the tariff he said :
"Wo have had tarlfts and tariffs this last
twenty years. Who has had the most In-
lluentlal hand in shaping them ? Great cor
porate interests , the Sugar trust , the iron
interests , the railroads. What are their rep
resentatives doing around legislative halls ?
Part of the time securing legislation to fill
their pockets , part of the time fighting un
just and mercenary assaults made upon thorn
by demagogues. "
The postal savings bank system was char
acterized as a blessing to the people , yet
they may not have it. Ho said they
had seen their earnings swept away in un
secured deposits in private savings banks ,
as Omaha can testify to with feeling. Ho
considered the trust the hated too of In
dustrial -peace. Great combinations of labor
have arisen against the combinations of
capital. The trust is face to face with the
labor union. Between thorn the country is
in constant turmoil. Ho reviewed the events
of the last seven years , the Homestead
strike , rioting and murder In Chicago , con
tinual striking and fighting in the mines
In Illinois and smelting works blown up by
miners in the \\cst. Continuing in refer
ence to this division of opinion ho said :
"In the main the blame for this condition

lies at the door of capitalism.
assorting that labor unions arc without
fault. They are often selfish and unreason
able to a degree. But capital Is strong. It
is controlled by brains and education. It
has no hungry family asking for bread. It
is obliged to lead the way In all industrial
effort. Therefore it must bear the bulk of
censure for the existing situation. And It
Is a heavy burden unless we are wrong in
our estimate of that situation. I have not
talked with a business man these many days
who was not outspoken In his condemnation
of the present tendency of corporate wealth.
Many of them are bitter. Many of them are
apprehensive of grave troubles coming.
Many of them agree with Prof. Small that
the promoters of trusts are 'Involving themselves
' "
selves and all of us In a grim tragedy.

Rov. M. W. Chase of Oswego , N. Y. , occu-
[ pled the pulpit of the First Methodist church
yesterday and delivered a couple of trial
bermons at the morning and evening ser
vices. He is one of the prospective pastors
of the church , and his name , together with
those of several other ministers who have
preached recently , will bo considered at a
meeting of the Board of Directors of the
church this evening , when the board will
endeavor to make a selection. Yesterday was
' first In Omaha and
Hev. Chase's appearance
ho will remain In the city only a few days.
Every pew In the church was filled yester
day morning when Rev. Chase preached his
first sermon. The preacher's discourse was
of a somewhat doctrinal character and pro
duced a favorable Impression upon the con
gregation , Judging from the comments made
by the members afterward. Ills topic "was
"Chrlbt Is All and in All , " found in the
Eplstlo to the Colosslaus.
In the course of the sermon the preacher
proceeded to prove the truth of this plirnse
In the affairs of mon not only In times of
old , hut also in present days. Christ Is all
and In all , the godhead , ho declared , and Is
the work of the godhead. Ho Is the dispen
sation as evinced in the sacrifices and even
in the symbolism of Judaism In the blblo
days. Ho is "tho all and In nil" In the his
tory of the nations. From Marathon to Wa
terloo , in Crossy's fifteen battles ' 'down to
Manila and even Santiago In our little war , "
ns the preacher put It the final decision
has been on the sldo of those who best
represented the system of Jesus Christ.
"Christ has been the all nnj In nil In
the history of thought , " conlntued the
preacher. "In the days of ancient history
the world was divided by partition walls ;
every man was the cnomy of his fellow man.
In these days there Is much said about the
brotherhood of man. This phrase may bo
misused , but the creeds upon which It Is
founded form but a scaffolding. There Is no
great Institution founded In the Interests of
humanity which has not been built up ex
cept upon thcEo creeds. It will not do to
measure Christianity by the number of its
professing members ; Christ worked to up
lift the entire human race , Infidelity claims
that It originally works for the brotherhood
of roan and for humanltarlanUm , but this
claim is not true. Whcro is your humanlta-
rlanlsm except where the Great Humanita
rian has come ? Even Glrard college , where
no Christian minister may enter and where
the name of Christ Is not heard , is possible
only because Christ hns been hero.
" 'Christ is all and In all' the faith ,
Christians and unbelievers bath make the
mistake that the Christian religion Is
founded upon the blblo. The original
Protestants made u. mistake In announcing
an Infallible bible. People reject Christ
because to them the book of Moses , the
btory of Jonah and other biblical tales uro
Inconsistent and even ridiculous. The dl-
vlno command Is not to bcllevo In David
or Joshua , or Jonah or Solomon , but to ba-
llevo in Christ , People ask Christiana why
they bcllcvi ) In Christ. They say ; 'Because
the blblo bids me. * 'How ? ' Is asked. 'Bo-
it Is Inspired , ' 'How do you know
It Is Inspired ? ' 'Because It nays BO. '
"That is arguing In a circle. 1 am not
saying that the blblo has not divinity and
humanity in It , that it docs not furnish
food for a famishing nature. But It takes
time to master materla mcdlca , mechanics
and other professions ; so It takes time to
master the bible , it takes linguistic ability.
It takes profound etudy. Man has not time
for that In these days. Ho must have a
short cut to faith. If people ask 'Why do
you believe in Christianity ? ' I say because
Jesus Christ bids me. If they ask why I
bellevo In Jesus Christ , 1 ask why they
believe In Julius Caesar. Their belief in
the latter In founded upon Caesar's Com
mentaries and on the witnesses that support
him. Kor every bit of authentic evidence
that supports Julius Caesar , I say that there
are thousands that support the commentaries
of Christ. "
The preacher declared that Christ Is the
all In all In the sum total of the longings
and affections of the human race. Aa evi
dence of this ho pointed to the big subscrip
tions that are voluntarily given for churches ,
colleges and missionary work. In this con
nection ho pertinently nskcd how many of
Nebraska's citizens would pay their taxes
If It rested solely with them If they were
told to pay them If they wore patriotic
enough and leave them unpaid If they wore
not. This is the way that Christ line pur
sued men may give donations for the ad
vancement of Christ's kingdom if they wish ,
and yet with the choice of not giving , great
amounts of money are being subscribed for
the work.
Uov. Chase also declared that Christ Is
"all and In all" in heaven and in the mat
ter of redemption.

Sermon of Hev. Xoivtini M. Ma mi nt
Unity Church YoHterilny.
HcV. Newton M. iMnnn preached nt Unity
church yesterday morning from a text from
the fourteenth chapter of Romans : "Nono
of us llvetli to 'himself. ' " He said , In part :
"Tho difference between being In the world
and out of the world , between the lot of ono
of us and that of Robinson Crusoe is suf
ficiently wide , as nil will allow. But if wo
rnlso the question wherein the advantage
of being in the world consists some an-
svjpr will bo forthcoming showing only a
feeble appreciation of the difference. It
will bo said that the advantage of being
among men Is that they may bo used to
one's own purpose , that the multitudes are
of value to the Individual because of the
chance they offer him of bringing them Into
his service , of making them contribute to
his emolument. Of thla teaching wo hear
not a llttlo directly and Incidentally , and
the practice of the great part of the world
Is taken In accordance with It. Our Alex
anders and Napoleons fight their battlca on
'change and bring to the contest enormous
resources of mind and material. '
"Tho unscrpulous haste to get rich at
the expense of other people often defeats
its own ends , for obviously enough only
n few can succeed in such an operation.
Where the whole community become in
fected wttfi the disorder general decay In
fallibly sets In. The point to bo ever kept
In mind is that there is moro than the In
dividual to bo looked after and that oven
his Interests aro.best securedin ways which
do not militate , against the interests of
mankind. The saying is commonplace , but
it needs reiterating , that , even when wo
consider life in its most material aspect ,
men best help themselves in the long run
by at the same time helping ono another.
"Prom a religious point of view , the busi
ness of a man in the world Is to perfect his
character. To benefit myself morally I must
do something to benefit my fellows. We
go up together or wo do not go up at all.
And If wo do a good thing for our neigh
bor wo must do It for his benefit , not our
own. The kindness which Is only a sharp
looking out forjeelf is not of the sort that
opens the heart and blesses the soul of the
doer. A man docs not enter upon the Tilgher
morality at 'all who deals Justly and nets
generously because , he thinks it will bo bet
tor for him to do so. The door must bo
moved by a dcslro to benefit ethers ; then ,
as by ' , a divine surprise , ho will be su
premely benefited himself.
"Religion has for its principal aim to
deepen in the breasts of men the sense of
brotherhood and revive all honest workers
in thla earthly vineyard with an assurance
that they are rendering a sacred human
service. This feeling Is not dead now , nor
does it always slumber. "

niHconrHe by Ilov. T. V. Moor.f
WpMtmltintcr I'rosliyterlnn Oh 11 roll.
Rov. T. V. Moore of Westminster Presby
terian church gave an earnest discourse on
man's knowledge of God , using OB his text
Philip's request , in the eighth verso of
John xlv , "Lord , show us the Father , " and
Christ's answer , "Ho that hath seen mo
hath seen the Father. " Mr. Moore said :
The greatest fact in the universe Is God ,
and , therefore , to know God Is the most
Important knowledge for man to attain.
Men have always felt the most potent factor
In human llfo is man's religion , and the
central element of Tils religion is his con
ception of God. Carlyle well says , "Toll
mo what a man worships and I will tell
you what manner of man ho Is. " This tryIng -
Ing to Imago to one's self the mysterious ,
great being , God , is in fact the ground of
all idolatrous worship , and so Philip simply
voices the question of nil questions that
men have asked show us the God. And
the Importance of this knowledge of God
is fully confirmed 'by ' the statement our
I > ord Jesus Himself. Men have sought their
own answer , tout tue answer that has como
from purely human sources has been wholly
unable to maintain Itself.
It Is a well known 'fact that In idolatrous
nations , such as tbo Greeks and Romans ,
the objects which were once idols were
recognized In their moro advanced stage of
thought as inadequate answers to the ques
tion , "Who is God ? " And whilst men had
sought God with their eyes sought some
Imago of Him they now began to seek Him
through tbo intellect , Reeking to got some
abstract conception of God. Certainly , they
were nearer the truth , but what answer
has cither ancient or modern philosophy
been able to give to the question ? What
has It attained to ? Mcro abstraction. Mcro
tendencies. The answer has TtcBn that God '
Is the Absolute , that God is the tendency '
making for righteousness , that God Is the
grewt force behind oil things. And the re
sult is Jimt this : Some unreal , abstract ,
' vague conception which hns formed no firm
hold on the mind and gives no resting place
for the heart. We cnnnot get n true Idea of
ono another through any mere- Intermediate
agencies , and still less can wo hope by mere
speculation about God or Investigation concerning -
corning Him to be able to know Him and
still less can wo have any reliance upon
those conceptions of God which arc a prod
uct of Micro philosophy or mere thought of
what God must be.
Jesus answers this question by saying ,
"Ho that hath scon me hath seen the Fa
ther. " Infinitely 'better than our specula
tion ; Infinitely better than our philosophiz
ing ; Infinitely better than our thoughts of
what Gcd Is and what He must be Is Just
this the simple appearance among us and
before us of Jesus Christ Himself and Ills
message to us , "He that hath seen mo hath
seen the Father. " We hear of the glory of
God ; wo speak of It and wo think of His
glory ns \ > e sco the glory of the sun and
wo expect when we see God to be endowed
with some sense that Is stronger than our
present senses. And when we say , "Show
us the Father , " that Is the kind of an imago
of God that \\c 'bring up before our minds ,
and hence when Jemis comes and stands be
fore us In the form of a man and that a
very humble man , with no visible glory
shining from him , with no tremendous power
manifest all about Him , and with none of
those attributes with which wo clothe our
conception of the Father , we , like Philip ,
turn away from Him , In a sense , and say ,
"Show us the Father. " But while nt first
it may appear to diminish the tribute of
grandeur to the conception of God when
wo look at Jesus Christ , yet as wo stop and
think wo find that it Is not so at nil ; but
Instead we gain a truer knowledge of God's
glory. It is contrary to our first conception
uJ Oed , because it is contrary to our mate
rialistic visions of what glory Is. Jesus
shows us what true glory means and gives
us a keener conception of glory than the
mere material forms In our Imagination.
* * The shortest road to know whethei
JCEUS Christ Is the Dlvlno Son of God Is nol
by studying Christianity ; It Is not specula ,
tlon about God ; It Is not even reading the
bible , except as a guide for life the short
est way to know who Christ Is , and I give
you this prescription begin here , this hour
this day , to do what Ho says. Begin to obey
and you will soon find out If there Is a Goi
in this universe , and if Ho has over spokcr
a word for man's guidance and direction ,
that God has presented It to us more per
fectly in Jesus Christ ; and the will of God
for us is presented to us in His fullest ani
most perfect and most beautiful form , In
Jesus Christ and His words.
