RENDER AN ACCOUNT

An Able Sermon By i BALTIMORE, July St'-ffiev. C. F. 7*omaa, rector of 8L AaaeV Roman Catholic Cbnrch, delivered a splendid discourse upon the subject “toivean Ac coant of Thy Stewardship.” Sin hi* remarks be said: In the parable which M found in Chapter xvi of the Gospel aeearding to St. Leake, a steward wassaddetfly called to give an account. For a long time he had been intrusted with the rx* interests, and probably had been bo moefa traded that no anparvidoa had been cseadsed over him and ha bad been let do pretty rnneh as he pleased. At last be eaaa denounced for Ida acta,

his b

to acknowledge vubordlnatlon to any power. Our whole life ia * atruggle againarnioreinentB that compel u* to account for oor deeds We would like to think one’s own will or judgment the highest tribunal and before none other must our Inward acts be dragged in re-

view.

But the persuasion of the race tells for the truth of the voice within, which frequently aaya, “Thou shall DOt! M when we would do the thing it forbid*, and which argues tbe existence of ala* and therefore of a tribunal, higher than any earthly one—higher thanona’aown will. Though to a certain extent we are the arbiter* of our own deatiny, yet for every act we are accountable to Hiui who gave tbe Commandments on the tablet* of stone and inscribe*! them on tbe fleshy tablet* of the heart Life and liberty, position and power,, time and talents wealth and energy, are all trust* —given and conferred that through them we manifest tbe divine glory. We are »tewards of the "manifold grace of God.’’ What we posse** m*y beforour need* or for our neigbtior’a good or humanity’* upliftiug. But every grace i* to aid one’* own approach toward-the diylne anion. Neither i* this mortal life the epd or standard, for St Paul teaches ua: “We are debtor*, not to th\ flesh, to live according to tbe flesh.’’ (Rom. rili ) We can never, tbea, rid ourselves of the eonriction that there la One above who searcbe* tbe rein* and tbe heart, to whom acknowledgment must be made and to whom account mast be rendered Tor what we have made ourselves and for what we do. Ws are allowed to go a long way without molestation. We are free agenU, and all oar lives no one from on high

or overlook. Usual-

ly no thaader'bolt strikes os dead for

No Heavenly inter-

ns. W« can ran on for indefinite period* in careers of vice, impiety, diahsnesty ami unfaithfuines*— at least along lines that do not bring os under the civil authority. The danger la to lancy ouraelve* secure. Bot life ends siasi lien, end with that end* tbs stewardship, and “after death thejudgTheead always comes too* oon. Death is. in seamy respects, always sudden We are never ready. And In a moment the dread word*: "Come, give an aocoant ot thy stewardship; thou cans! he steward no longer." Tbe next instant we are in eternity, the man whom, when tbe I«ord come. He shall find ready.” There Is no undoe hardship imposed by the thought of the impending judgment; there should be no reluctance to remember it and to be always prepared. a salutary influence will beexi daed, a restraint will be placed on oar untoward tendencies and an impulse given to invariable honest life. Tbe bank president and the cashier who that a daily examination of book* is made are deterred from defalcation and fraud Any employe will be kept luJuKtriouK by the fear of in«petiou -hich may come at any time. A child ; wil! think twice before it acts when it * know* that the parent!* near. Remember thy last end—remember the judgment—«ad thou wilt never sin. It is the only consideration that should govern a* in onr decisions and conduct. How will God jodge? Can I give bimaaatisfactory account? How few, in what they do and say, attend as to what He easy decide! Most people will be aflected uy expediency or by the applause of the populace. What will succeed, what will win favor, what will please, seeasa Sa be a greater impulse than what is fast and right and proper before God. Material consideration* art of more weight than spiritual. We are willing to aeeennt for oor dee the public aad asraiou* that they approve and do not condemn; bat not so willing and anxiaws to renounce it aM and to adopt another coarse If the divine decree* it otojeeWoeabie. Not many are like the Apoetle who declared, "To me it is a very small lisfa* to be judged by yon or by ana’s fisg • • • ha that jndgeth me Is the Lesd.” (lOor. hr.) Shall we not be mere guided by reckoning we aes to pay to

Lord?

If each be oor motive, afi things wiD eoarisim to oor good. Without It, ell we possess will lesd ns to rain. The unjust steward in the parable, because be lost sight of the account ha would

have to

Heaven. That prudence dictates a reference to the hereafter. According to the use we make of thnn shall we there stand or’fall. “If you live according to the flesh, yon shall die; but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeda of the flesh you shall live ” Ami it l* better to abide by the Saviour'* words: "Fearnot them that can kill the body, hut rather fear Him that can distroy both body and soul into bell.” (Matt., x., 28.)

The definition of a uniformly well gowned women is she who dre with a strict regard to appropriateness —in other words, one who adapts her mode of attire to tbe character and form of each and every occasion, this simple conformity tbe keynote and secret of (he art of dreiwlug 1* sounded and revealed. Appropriateness, with a large, a very large, capital, should be tbe guiding motto of every woman’s drees inclinations. Along with the op titude for designing, planning and even creating, there should be assiduously cultivated by erery woman a taste for the fltnnw of attire. This with practice may be acquired and will servo as a more valuable gift than' all tbe other lore relating to this distinctively feminine branch of science. Tbe woman who 1* fortunate in tbe posseesloo of this valued trait and Its evincedent is often credited with being better attired than she la In reality, for her appearance at any time and upon all occasions la characterised by a distinctive and appropriate Individuality. which beam an Impress of refined mate and ntngtes her out of a group of gayty.

Of all deruretlocia In tbe gift of the mikado, none I* so highly prised by hli valorous setuurnl as that of tbe di* tinifuUbfd service order of th* Gofaten Kite, says the Hoslon Herald.

of tbe Golden Kite.

The decoration ia a small. Indented edged oral of a beautiful green enamel, upon which U placed a golden ktt* surmounting crossed sword* 1 of purpk enamel. Tbe medal is suspended from tbe breast by a green ribbon: and tt* gift Is as rare as that of tbe much cov eted Victoria cross of Great Britain.

This pension, however, seems to bare gone, with one exception, only to tbe princes of tbe Imperial family that have been decorated; suggesting there by tbe delicate tact so common emoos tbe higher classes of tbe Jopsnese. Three of tbe officers who parti rips ted in tbe first successful torpedo host St tack upon tbe Russian fleet In Port Arthur won tbe distinguished service order of tbe Golden Kite, and well they deserved It. for tbe undertaking demanded all of tbe desperate courage of a forlorn hope.

The origin of tbe order Is decidedly picturesque. In tbe memorable naval engagement nflw commonly known as tbe battle of tbe Ye hi, between China and Japan In 1894. when from noon to set of sun on that fateful 17th of 8sptetnber the Dragon waged a losing fight with the Rising Btm. was bora tbe Inspiration of tbe order of tbe Golden Kite. At tbe doee of day. as tbe Taka cblbo, battle stained and begrimed, rested after that awfqj Straggle, something hashed seaward from tee sky, and after * moment’s bdrering a Urge bird of tbe hawk family, ffilk seen to perch upon tbe Takachibo’s signal staff. Tbe bird proved to be a kite. Tbe commanding officer. Captain No mure Tei. ordered one of tbe crew tccatch the bird, which, contrary to «x pectatlon. proved an easy task, for tbe hawk, unmoved by tbe man’s approach, seemed only too wining to be made a< captive. The crew, with true s&ttarty' superstition, welcomed the bird with enthusiasm and tbe belief that tt was a heaven sent messenger and gave It every care. -w When the fleet returned to Taidonggang. Commander Salto Mlnara was sent by tbe emperor to congratulate tbe fleet upon Its signal victory. On bearing from Captain Nomura-TH of tbe Takachibo about tbe kite be took tbe bird back with him to tbe imperial military headquarter*, where be had tbe honor of presenting tbe hawk to Tbe mikado promptly
