GODS REQUIREMENTS A HtrmsK Sermeas Uj Rev.' I<* m«

AMnn Tpo* This and Man'* Help 'Prom CJod. */

BMOOXLLYS, E. Y., May 22 —The Rev. Ifr. Lyman Abbott delivered a strong aermou in the Church of the Pilgvime (Congregational) upon theaut jeot of "God’s 'Requirements of Man, and Man's Help from God." He took -for Ws text Slicah «is8: “What doth tbe

Lord require of me? ” and said:

Tbeve are two questions which every

devMtleoui, 1 might almost

aeries* minded soul, at •ometime aaki

f reward. What else? Nothing. What temple must they aUtnd or to /fast religious organisation must they belong ? Nothing is sail about there thing*. The whole requirement is summed up in tbe^- principle*. Year* go on. The 1*ndites have sot complied with these law*. They hare sinned and they are brought under threatening* of puniabment. and then they aay: "Now, what 4oes tiod require of os? Webavebrok•n His hut?" And the question and An** er are lepcated ft the pannage of my text: >Yh«t doth the Lord nequire of thee, but to do justly. and to logo mercy And to walk humbly wiih'thy God." Joist the same thing as the commandment, dHlerent phrasing, but the spirit U there. "We have sinned, and now we need Hi* merry; what shall we do? Wfcat ofleringa shall we make?" None. PLK. juatly". that is the law-of action. "Lr>ve merev"; thaUs the law offering. WnlV hainl-iy in oompanloophip with thy God"; (hat atbr secret of life. That U all. If oflaringa and sacrifice# and ehurrbeeand creeds will help, use them; if they don’t teave them along; became the one thing ia just this: Reverence for God, walking humbly with Him, respect for thy neighbor's rights; doings j«attce from the haarl-not driven to it by forces from without; loving mercy. The children oi Israel had gone into

salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliuea* -and worldly lusts, we should live solver, ly. righteously and godly in this present world, looking for that blessed nope and tbe glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Chiral." Practically the name thing again.* This what God requires and nothing else, and He will take nothing rise. And it is certainly true that because men are not willing to live thus, but want to follow their own will, ano set God's will aside that hey try to substitute something else. They accept a creed or a ritual or join a church and think God will he satisfied. For tbe req eirrux-n i of God they have substituted, in the first place, Ujcology The best definition of re Agio: that t know is thic "Religion i* the life ofGol tu the soulof ismu ” It is very important that ue Chink rightly «a tbi» point. Men aay they do not bdleve a creed, but when they say that tiiey dfdsre l heir creed. Whatever a man

or politics, that is hi* creed. -Every father and mother has a purest#! creed i ass not saying that it will make difiervi.ee what a man believes. But what we believe «« nat tbe life. What

TIME-Thursday. April «. A. t). A. the ay before tbe crurlflxlon. FLACK.—Jerusalem, ai thl* time full of pilgrim* come to the i’uoeovcr. NOTES AND COMMENTS “On the first day of unleavened bread.” Tbe first day of tbe Passover week; the 14ih of Nisan. which fell this year on Thursday (April 6). Only bread made without yeast was eaten by the Jews during this seek. “The disciples came to Jesus:” During the day. Thuraday. "Where wilt Thou that «e make ready . . . the Passover:" Perhaps the disciples knew that Jesus had planned for the Passover, but they certainly did not know what His plans were. He did not tell them now. but sect two of those who were nearest Him to a certain street, where, by a previous arrangement, of which they had not known (Mark 14:13-15). they were to be met by a man carrying t pitcher of water—an unusual right, for tbe women usually carrjed the water; he would know them a$d without speaking to them, or apparently joining them, would lead them to the appointed place. Jesus knew there were plots against His life abrorrt in Jerusalem, and that there was a traitor among the disciples. Precautions were wise. He did not wish to avoid tbe inevitable end. but His heart was ret ofi this last quiet evening with the disciples. The little company gathered In the upper room at about dusk and took their place* upon the couches, which extended around three -sides of the low table. Matthew speaks of their "sitting" at the table, but the word is misleading. Leonardo da Vinci’a painting, the “Last Supper." Is a most Interesting study of the scene, but the painter had been misled Into making the company alt at the table a# we do. They did not ait. but reclined. Between verses 20 and 21 read (1) the word* of Jesus, Luke 22:14-18; (2) the contention aa to who should be grratest. Luke 22:24-30; and (3) the washing of tbe disciples’ feet by Jesus, John 13:1-20. The Paaaover meal consisted of unleavened bread, bluer herb*, wine and a lamb. Tills feast commemorates the escape from Egypt, and was the "Independence day" of the Jew*. » "A* they were eating. He eald:** John add*. “He was troubled In the spirit." The awfulness of the strain of the last 24 hours of Jesus’ life we can hardly Imagine. “One of yon shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowfulr** Each one questioned himself, though no one but’ Judas meant to betray Him. Each one knew his own weakness. “H» that dipped his hand with Me in the dish:*’ “Knives and fork* and plates for each guest were unknown. The food was piled In a great circular diah. over It was poured the broth, and the guests, with their fingers, dipped a piece of meat or of barley cakeJnto the broth ahd thus ate 1L”—FeloubeL At this point read John 12:23-20. which tells of Judas'leaving the room. At last the Master and His true friends were alone. “Jesus took bread, and blessed:" That ts. blessed God for It or. as Luke puts It. “When He had given thanks" Thl* ia My body." Thl* aianda for, symbolizes. My body. Myself. When HI* diaciples ate bread U*y were to think of .Him. “And He took a cup. and gave thanks:" Though tbe cap was a symbol of the life blood He was to pour out. He could give Thanks for It. “Tbe covenant:” Look up Ex. 24:5-*. Jer. 21:31-34 and Luk* $2:20. in this order, for explanation. It was a covenant between God and men. ‘'Poured ont for many unto remission of affia:" Thl* Mates Jesus’ purpose in living and dying: history from that time to this (ratifies to the marvelous effectiveness of “ it life and death. Jesus came not to save men from punluhmsrt, but to save them from deserving punishment—(o Lake adds here Jtsus’ word*. “This do in remembrance of Me.” It wa* a suggestion had request the spirit of which loyal followers of the Master will always observe with reverenc* and love, ft la one of the sacred

rtt« of our religion. It ia the spirit, not the form, in which the significance of sny rite lies. “1 shall not drink henceforth" etc.: “Referring to hit Immediate death, and «-»«njr HJ* faith In
