ation With any ditler

fief, from the rr«t of the Chnatian world. There 1a real danger that the local church or the denomination he exalted above the kingdom of God. k on know that our Roman Catholic friend* aay that

X^atholic Chueh are everywhere the tame—

in America, in Africa, in Asia, in Europe,

an almost every city and village of every Hand: the aame form of worahip. the aame articulate and compact organization. We •re the church, one and united.” We xaight anawrr that this ia not neceaaarily

a ground for aelf -congratula tion; that

E rever there ia freedom of inquire, free-

of opinion, freedom of will, there m

‘bound to be dnrenity. But we are not -now diacuMtng the truth or falsehood, 'the good or evil, in Roman Catho!iri«m;

are aay that thia argument the Roman Catholic uses with powerful effect

a True it ia that narrow denominational-

lam is belittling and deadening. That was

a significant remark made by one of our

college presidents. 'The men who least

comprehend what I am tryinr to do in this

college are some profesaora of the college

JThtv are noble, self-sacrificing men. but each one considers his own department the |only really important one. and the idea

of building uo a university is something which none of them can grasp." So there

are aelf-aaenfieing denominationaiu>:». who

have no adequate conception of the dig-

nity and importance of the church univer-

aal—the vi«t embracing kingdom of God.

"The good seed, these sre the sons ■of the kingdom.” the words immediately

follow the reference to the world-field.

kingdom," not the membership of any lo-

‘But there muat be recognition, and that

recognition more than a normal one. of the practical fellowship, the co-operative

fellowship of believer*.

Christians "love one another."

p Bneb a spirit ia a lone wzy beyond the •pint of "toleration." Yet even toleration m in advance of what we hare known, ■•yen in this "land of the free." In the (Harvard baccalaureate of tb i year Dr. ^an Dvke eloquently aaid of the Puritan: 'Tsometbing too little of sunlight may bare come in through the narrow windows of his house.

We are in a day when -jischirroua moral malaria steals subtly into the fiber of si.oag endeavor The ags is drunk with materialise, the south wind blows softly, and multitudes are enervated by ita soothing touch. Some would seem to think that in this day the towers of a lofty Christian life and character and of the great splendid structure of the kingdom of God are going to leap up in the night like Jonahs gourd; that ws are going to arake up some line morning to find the building miraculously finished, without our endeavor, to the rrvl-stone. Understand me. the heart of the churah ' beats strong and true, bet great •s of nominal Christiana are id a k>iting atmosphere, listless, idle, unaccompliahing. *- „ Toleration is a long advance from intolerance. but toleration easily become* indifference, and both are utterly mi.'.rquate to express the ideal relationship between bodies of Christ’s followers.

company.

A good beginning lias been made. Federation is fellowship quit into practice. Federation of churches and of Christian workers has Aased to be a dream. It is far from uncommon to-day. in single com inanities, in counties, in 8tate*. L**t m< indicate a very frw of the line* which hsvi been suggested and actually followed it this federated work. A religious census o! s given community, resulting in a religious directory, showing church and Sundayschool membership and attendance; Christian citizenship efforts, including those against the legalized saloon, and against the desecration and annihilation of the day of rest, a bulwark of our national life now thrown down and trampled in the dust—our brethren under other national flags are not free from the bitterness of this assault; a common rallying for the preservation or the securing of an ideal public school system; where it can he done a wise direction of denominational enterprises in the way of the founding of new churches, thus tending to economy of effort and wise stewardship of resource. 1 chiefly, chiefly, co-operation in the vit

invaluable work of the church universal

evangelisation, this above everything else —the joining hands of thoae who believe that the world is lost without Jesus Christ in harmonious and loving fellowship of action for the world's salvation. In »n of these endeavors sre may work together, our hearts beating as one in our common

lore gnd loyalty to onr common Lord.

Jjtt me suggest two thoughts which may

strengthen us in our tel’iowshin.

First—The enemies of Christ and His

followers are neither -'rod nor s eer Luther said, as s i - • -**enta' 'n church in his day; ’•Who would |

When the church in that are. in this sge. in an- sge, it truly

alive, and is fulfillizu* her destiny, s’ find about her. at of old. men roor than ravenous baUsts. The go«pel battle. It is rightly on the offe-iai- .

the defensive. Tho gospel divides, when >t is manifested in a disciple whose emhodving of the gosnel i« strong enough to divide anything. The block will bear almost unmarked the edge of an see handled by the feeble fingers of an infant, but the axe goes cleaving through the wood when the edge comes down under the •weeping power of a strong man’s arm. True, multitudes of neminal Christians live on most amiable terms with the world, and know next to nothing of nny tribulation or opposition occasioned by their profession of Christi-nity. But that is not because there is anv real alteration in the cons->quenee* nf close onion with ■Texas. It i* because their union is no very slight snd superficial. The world lore* it# own. and what can it find to hate in the shoe 1* of people whose religion is confined to tbejr tongue* tnostlv and ha* nothing to do vrith their lives? It uas not ceased to Iw a hard thing to be s real and thorough

Obrjatian.

To b» sure, opposition finds different foes to-day ’Ban in some ether daya. know to what lengths u has gone. Inquisition, the msasscre’nf St. Bartholomew, thr reign of Philip II of Spain, the Duhe of Alva srith his srUtrie deeds in the Netherlands, the fires of Smi’.lifleld. these sre not so far in the past that mists of oblivion have shrouded them. But let ua ugdrrstand. mv fellow Christian*, that tbe world aid the flesh and the devil are against f nristian building and Christian living ctill. just as they always werV. I do not believe in people looking for trouble, searching for some on* who will eonosnt to persecute them, but I have an idem that the sting of Bmithfield fire* and the wrenching of Torooemada’s rack, if thoae experiences could be repeated, might correct some vagaries of modern theology. Hi* thundering summon* of the enemy the door might be s wholesome anti-

dote for some conditions in our churches of to-day. There is something in the call battk. bank for • eanee which is roc* and supremely worthy, which .— the deepest and the best in ua. Is it tne that there la today link of the '-rrofc In religion to appeal * • *'~ irre if that be so. The statement •zeoloekal asmte dearth of candidates for the ministry. Why? Why U it that the ministry * not apneal to every stalwart, able, an unselfish Christian man in his coQegs dsvs? It doe* to soar. A part of the product of our seminaries to-day was never aurrvssed. But why does not tbe claim of this great vocation press upon ev *- an one until it is soberly settled or tbe other? It is not because young men are afraid. There waa no diOeulty ■n filling up the retdts of the Rough Rider regiment, though every man knew that he was taking h.^ hfc in his hands when he teen for service be sunk at the mouth of Santiago bar* r, though it meant a voyage into the jaws of death. Eight men were needed; you know the response to th* call for vol-

unteers,

I wiQ not believe that there is among our young men a lack of courage, a lack of wilfingnem to suffer. Can it be that young

ing of stalwart efficiency ia it* No man of strength and self .—.— - going to submit to being legardsd merely ae a convenient adjunct to weddings and funerals, aa a kind of family pet to bs coddled and fed with sweetmeats. If the church wants muck that ia heroic in her leaders, she must liar* much that is heroic in herself. Tbrre must Iw a reeognition of th* fact that tbe for* of Christ and of Hi* follower* are neither dead nor sleeping; that eternal vigilance, eternal selfsacrifice. ever Us tin* and strenuous stroggk, sre the price of progress and of victory now as always. Second—Tbe insistent call for service has not ceased. Dean Frederick W. Farrar, who has bnt recently passed front among us, bat said: “la not this fatally true, that the lives of very manv are fn»okraa, useless, egotistical; that the lives of very many are wasted and self-ruined by their own vilest passions; that the lives of some are like a mere poison and pestilence to all around them; thst it is th# tivns of few only which are noble and generous. brave snd unselfish, merciful and just, pure and true? And the main curse of most live* it that tbev think only of self and live only for self.” I hope that the words contain an exaggeration. I can but believe that each of us know* in hie own cirek live* wHieh. though they (w hidden from public view and knowledge, are "brave and unselfish." “pure and true." But the word* of the great churchman are s challenge and an appeal. The insistent call for service ha* not ceased Thank God. history shows that the call has not been in rain. In the social stream of tbe life of tins work! it is good to think of men and women who have not pleased themselves, but have gone about doing good, great souls who in their stubborn devotion to the truth, in detestation of falsehood and lie*. h*»e faced a lying world md tbe hatred of the base and the storm of weak snd -owsrdlv criticism, not holding their lives dear unto themselves. I bear some one say “We have no such rail as they.” but we have. The only call they bad wc have—the call of the need. We might, tbe humblest of ns. be nselul. Per hi os very few eyes will be wet for ua. and they not fpr long, while others, with less of opportunity, than ourselves, hay* gone down to tbe grave amid the benediction* of the poor Ah. the insistent call for service has not ceased. Can we not strive to rise, to rise unitedly, to nse in ever strengthening fellowship, into such a hfe.ss is described l-r the words spoken of Our blessed Lord. "He Went about doing good." The great Methodui leader, John Wesley. the bicentennary of whose birth haa just been eekbrsted throughout the Christian world, nohlv said: "I desire a league, offensive and defensive, with eve nr soldier of Christ.” So aay we. Let it be repeated in ever increasing volume until the earth shall be full of tli« knowledge of the Ts«rd as the water* cover thr art "We dr* re a league, offensive and defensive, with every soldier of Christ.”

Two Kinds of Sympathy. Sympathy is a won’ set over from the Greek, and mean* '’suffering with.” Hence one who sympatbizrs with another suffers srith Him. In our careless use of tbe word see do not put so much meaning into it. A* generally emnlovsd. it means that one hma a gentle tourh of pity for another who ia in trouble. In order to have it sienifr anything worth while we should rait its full meaninc into it when we use it. There are two kinds of sympathy, sari

that trouble it makes bis trouble seem greater snd harder to OT*r. it weeps with .one, but not in a comforting war. On the-Fon-trary. it makes one feel that he indeed has oecaska to weep, and that there is no reel solace for him. If one is east down because of his 'health, it makes him alums*, give np all hope of reeoverv. In hie friends Job had sympathizers, but he was justified in saying, to them: "Miserable eo"-forte's sre ye all." The othre is a sVmpsthy thst puts heart, hope, manhood into ope. If one is east down it leaves him cheered. Afterwards the obstacles do not look so formidabk or th# cloud* so black. In our despondent words sre magnify our troubles: helnfnl •empathy enables u* to see them in tbrir true proportions. This kind of sympathy not onlv weeps with those who are sorrowful. but speaks a comforting word. It does not merely pity the unfortunate, it puts out a hand to lift him up. If one reafy sympathizes—suffers with—another, be will do something besides condok, if some'hing besides condolence is needed. Sympathise with other*, as you would like to hare others sympathize with you.

When you atop up on one promise you will always find s higher and a better one

A laugh to be joynns mn*t flow from a joyous heart, for sritbout kindness there can be no true joy. The art of saying appropriate words in a kirdly way is one that never goes out of fashion, never ceas<« to please, and is within tbe reach of the humblest.

that he sat barn with a sinful nature. See Epb. 2:3. This confession i* not made a* an excuse for hi* sine, but in utter selfabswtaeat. David bewails the depravity within, and thus abandons ail hope of restoring himself. "Thou desire*: truth." David admits that be is tbe very opposite of what be should be. God desires truth in the most secret springs of thought and will. Truth here takes the sente of integrity and uprightness: and wisdom that of

tbe knowledge of God.

7. 8. “With Hyssop." Tbe figure here is borrowed from the ceremonial of the law. Hyssop was a common herb which frequently pew on wall*. This was used a* a *prink,*r. esprriahy in'the rites for cleansing the leper and purifying the un clean. Dr. Clark rails attention to th* fen that in the raae of the kper tbreerer'oi v of sprinkling was not performed un til the leper had been healed, and the cere: ion j declared to the people that aueh was tbe ease. "This.’’ say* Clarke. "David •cem* to have in full view, hence he rerneats the Lord to show to the people that he was accepted and cleansed.” "Whiter than snow.” The Lord is abk to take every element foreign to holinetx out of our nature. See Is*. 1:18. "Bones . . broken.” A strong figure showing how a sense of God’s displeasure bad, as it were, crushed his bones and shattered bis whole frame. He had reoentrd deeply. III.

"Uphold me.” The idea of uphold here U to confirm, render permanent. David derires that the restored atate be sustained and abiding. ThU u tne noint nf the petition. But be haa not in himself tbe elements of this stability. God only can "restore the joys of salvation," and He alone can cause him to stand firm in this restored life. Tree spirit." See R. V.
