Jn till urmon at Vnity church Sunday
morning- Rev. Newton M. Mann aald In tt
feet that religion ntida Ita beat expression
in honest work. He also found a plausible
ezcuae for persons a ho do not go to church
and declined to accept their lack of form
as Indicating absrnce of the religious
spirit and reverence.
Trior to the church services, which ara
. now held at 11 o'clock Instead of 10:30, Mrs,
Hanchett organised an adult clnes In Jew
ish history. Twenty-flve members were
enrolled. This and the regular Sunday
school now precede the other morning aer
Vlcea.
In part Dr. Mann aald:
To Imj rfllKl"'!', In the bet sens of the
word, whnt Is It but to fall In with this
natural tendency of thlnifH? To worship
Ood Is to' draw near to Him, which Is
what every vital fnrco is instinctively sinv
lng to do. All orders of life are presslnc
onwRrd, upward Into diviner forms, and
the gate of final rasnge. ao far aa we
Know, opens into tbe numan worm. in
this staie life comes to self-consciousness.
and the universal Instinct of ascent be
comes s religious fpelinir.
The transfiguration of the earth and of
the human world Is a work begun, but
by no menns accomplished. There are signs
or progress, but the Ideal Is still a snaaow
or only pnrtlnlly attained. To put It Into
form to realise It may be called. In our
human phase, the one unceasing purpose
of God. Men are workers together with
Him when they aid In this task. '
Work la Ipllflln.
Obviously the way to serve Ood Is to
do His work, and ills work from first to
last Is a lifting up, 11 bettering of existing
conditions. Whoever toils to this end
serves Hod worships in the highest mid
truest sense. All labor for real gain, for
Increase of human happiness, for knowl
edge, for truth, Is divine service. And It
must be owned that the practical piety of
the world lies largely in the hard knocks
by which the hand of toll wrenches weulth
from tho earth or adds to the value of
nature's crude materia! .The farmer whose
labor iriukts corn attid wneat abundant Is
the one who puts up the effectual fervent
prayer, "'Give us this day our dally
bread." It may be truly said It Is the poor
factory glrL whose long days of labor nuikj
cloth so plenty and so cheap It Is she
more than all the charities in Christendom,
that clothes the naked.
These and all other workers In honor
able pursuit have found ways of serving
God In deeds that contribute to the general
welfare. That la to say, they are working
in the direction of the divine providence.
Not all, however, are aware that in doing
life's duties they ere doing religious duties.
It scc.ms. to me that the province of the
preacher Just now is not so much to make
men religious as to disclose to them the
fact that they are religious often times
without suspecting it. Many there are
who have the good life without the senti
ment. It has never occurred to them that
they are Christians,
Work for Everyoae.
Kvery' man ' has some special work- In
lira as every tree has its fruit. That work
is what he is sent to do. To do It honor
ably and well Is the main thing. Huppy
Is he if In so doing It he acquires the sense
that his Work Is worship. Of devotion In
tentionally done there is In our day a
manifest decline. Outside the public church
service formal and stated prayers are only
exceptionally observed even by church
goers. It Is commonly Inferred from this
that the world worships less than hereto
fore, but I am pot disposed to think so.
Strictness In the observunce Is a very poor
gauge of religiousness. Worship that Is
spoken Is seldom the freshest and purest
expression of the 'heart. It Is called a
material age, a time of growing lrrellglon,
people so mucn rerrntn trom the appointed
formalities of worship. Would It not be
more Juki to nay Unit mankind Just now
Is ton much smitten with tbe wonders of
God's votks. the mysteries of His provi

IrilllT '' KfEEUED BT CHRISTIANS
Inspiration of Christ Is Essential to
tbe Perfect Ure.
"How , we cannot accomplish the things
we wish In the Christian life without the
spirit and Inspiration of Christ" was the
them of Rev. J. E. Hummon's sermon in
the Kountxe Memorial church during the
morning service. The pastor used several
illustrations from dally life to make plain
his meaning. One of these concerned a
young art student. There had been a great
painter, and he had died. .The boy looked
up to the memory of his late master with
the greatest admiration and reverence. It
came Into his mind If he, could get the
brush the painter had used he could do
equally wonderful work. He .went to tho
painter's wife and asked for the bruah,
and received It. Filled with enthusiasm,
he set to work, but the result was bitter
disappointment. The widow told him he
rould do nothing for he did not possess
the spirit of the master. '
"So it is with us," said Mr. Hummon,
"we cannot live the lift of Jesus Christ,
we have not tha power and capabilities
of the Bon of Ood unlets we are infused
with the spirit: of God. We sometimes see
a life which pours forth charity, goodness,
long suffering, nnd we'suy it is impossible
for us to live such a life. The life of
Christ, that is the sort of life, to come in
touch with the life of Christ."
A second Illustration was that of the
electric .magnet. A great horseshoe of Iron
held up a heavy piece, of Iron so long as
ths current from the dynamo .ran through
ths wires around it. When the current was
cut off the weight fell.
"So it is 'With Christians. So long as wa
re attached to the Son of God we receive
ths living Influence 'flowing out of God.
Ws are attracted by the spirit of God. If
this Is broken we fall away. . We fall be
cause we do-not maintain the vital rela
tion with Christ. We can do all things
through Christ, who ,1s our strength."
Ths evening sermon was by RevFrnnk
Petwtilker, a son of one of the formor
pastors of the church. He has boen back
In ths United Slates about a year from his
forme labors us a missionary to Ecuador.
He preached a very excellent sermon on
the tex, "But first of all they gave them
selves to the I.ord." At the closo of the
services a large number of the old mem

who loved his father, crowded about him

"The spies were detected when they en
tered Jericho, but they were hidden In ths
walls of the city by the harlot. She is a
bad woman. She has a bad reputation,
but she helps them carry out the work of

seek they are lowered down In the outer
walls by the scarlet cord, and she Is di
rected to wind It about the windows of ler

"So many people regard the salvation of
the Lord as intended only for the good,
the loftly and tbe noble. Christ came to
seek that which was lost. Can It be that
a woman with a reputation as we have
here described was selected for God's work?
She was a bad woman, yet she was saved
when the warriors swept over the walls of
the city. She had the scarlet cord en
twined about the window? What sort of a

She afterward became the wife of Joslah's

the Savior, sprung from such ancestrage.

"No sin Is black enough, no soul Is so
depraved that there Is not salvation. Noth
ing too mean or too low to save If it will
partake of this boundless salvation. We
often think of ourselves aa being good, but
besides the measureless goodness of God
It Is tike the tiny lake beside the boundless

Dr. Con ley Explains How Remem
brance Supports Faith.
Rev. J. W. Conley, .D. D., of the, First
Raptlst church, preached yesterday morn
ing on the theme of "Memory and Faith,"
taking his text from Hebrews z:22 and
Phllllplans xili:14. He said In part:
"The Bible has much to say about re
membering and forgetting. One is just
as Important as the other. As this 4s the
last Sunday that we will hold services in
this building, It will cling to us by a
thousand memories, both pleasing and sor
rowful. Memory Is filled with Joy and sor
row. Faith looks ahead. Life after all
Is but a question of faith. Memorial days
are devised to call to us the experiences
of the past. We are prone to forget past
blessing.'. The Lord's Supper is one of the
chief memorials of the Christian church
and signifies man's redemption through the
blood of Christ and deliverance from ln.
Faith needs memory. Remember what you
were and what you were made, out of
God's love; thank Him for what He has
dono and for the new Inspiration IJe gives
us to do better. Blessed is he whose heart
Is filled with gratitude for the things given
of God. Former blessings should be the
Incentive to strive for better things and
to strive for the conquest of the world for
God. Lose not the sight of our larger op
portunities. Faith says your work is
never done until the conflict Is over. Mem
ory has no youth. Faith puts good cheer
into the soul. Memory comes with un
answered prayers in the dark days and
nights. There are some who live In the
gloom. Faith has sometimes fallen In ',
the dark years, but it was founded in j
hope In God and said there Is light ahead.
What of the night? Lo, the morning com- ;
eth. In the background of the three orosses 1
of Calvary was the golden glory of the
eternal morning. Let us gird ourselves
with great courage and move forward In
the greater riches of God's providence."

KING AND PREMIER QUARREL
YoBtfafnl Ruler of Spain Insists on
Having His Way Abont
Motoring-.
MADRID, Oot 16. (Special Cablegram to
The Dee.) King Alfonso has had a sharp
quarrel with his prime minister, Senor
Maura, about motoring.
His majesty has become a motoring en
thusiast since the lessons he recently re
ceived in driving a small power car, - and,
unknown to the premier and his mother,
he ordered two magnificent cars from
Paris at a cost of 5,000.
The young king, on the occasion of hla
visit to San Sebastian, informed the pre
mier that he lad decided to make a motor
ing trip through Spain with his new cars.
Senor Maura exclaimed that such a pro
posal was Impossible, and pointed out the
grave danger his majesty would run from
risks of accidents to the cars and from
anarchists and other persons evilly dis
posed towards his majesty."
King Alfonso, however, persisted that he
would make the trip, and as a last resort
the premier appealed to the queen mother.
The queen took the side of the premier,
whereupon the king, In a burst of anger,
declared that even though he had to lose
the services of his premier he would have
his way.
