T££ PULPIT.

BaMset I TBs rri.od at God. Brooklyn. N. J—Sunday morning tbe Bor. Joseph Dunn Burrell, paster of the flat son Avenue Presbyterian Church, preached an interesting acrte on tbe subject. “The Friend of “ The teal was from Jamea 1133: “He was called the Friend of Clod." Mr. Burrell said: Tbe figure of Abraham Is one of the moat maJeMlc spared to us by the past. He stand* before ua in singular dignity. serenity and power, atyl his supreme duality was that he was tbe friend of tiod. Tbe phrase is peculiar. It la not said that God was bis friend, but that be was God's friend. There Is a difference. We accept the friendship of Oodfita a matter of coarse, like the air lOe breathe. But the thought that man maybea friend to God scarcely come* to us at all. There Is something deeply touching about that thought. Tor we urualiy look upon God as sufficient unto Himself. Yet tn this other respect we see Him longing for friends. That desire la common among men. for there are many lonesome, misunderstood, hungry for a friendly word of appreciation. Now think of God also at misnnderstood. grieved by neglect, yearning to 'be loved Then think'of Abraham aa giving God his heart. Too see bow ranch it meant to God that Abraham was his frlefid. One Is led to be the friend of another by liking bla. Tbe reason wby we like him may be inexplicable to oaraelvet, for there la bo accounting for tastes. All fruits are tbe gifts of God to men. yet some we enjoy and other* we reject. All people are children of God. and we cari'love every one of them in a disinterested and fraternal way. But this does not interfere with our liking some better than others. Even our Saviour felt this human tendency and was drawn by It to a special intimacy with the apostie John. I suppose there never was a person about whom people differed more than Charles Lamb. Borne could not endure hi* perpetual raillery, hit bad puns, his stammer. Others knew him to be one of tbe rarest spirits, subtle in tellect. exquisite in taste and grandly unselfish. Now that liking which makes friendship between man and man makes it between man and God. We can picture Abraham at the close of tbe day. when Rie' tents bad been pitched and the evening meal -eaten, going apart from the camp for a little space that he might open his soul to God. We can imagine David at night time while tbe city slept, mounting to the root df tbe palace and beneath the canopy of •tars communing with the Most High. We can see crowds that eagerly hiding for a brief time In the seclusion of some mountain top that He might, be alone with Hit Father. It was because all three of these liked God. It is a question worth asking whether we like God. I do not say reverence and honor. I do not say submit to and obey. Do we like God? It is a peculiar question. Perhaps asking It make* u* wonder whether our appreciation *f God does not lack something of tbe .warm throb of life. ■ Friendship also Involves similarity of tastes. In Tact most of our friendships come about through our being brought together iq tbe pursuit of some common Interest, by an ocean voyage, a golf club, a board of director*, a Snnday-acbool class, for example. People wbo*e chief interests differ are not likely to become friends: Emerson and. Boss Tweed, for example. There is qo better field for studying tbe law* of friendship than a college. Young men or women who hare known eadwther pleasantly enter in the same das*, gfi together for a time, then gradually. wlthontAny ill feeling whatever draw apart In order to form other combinations. This shifting Is generally due to tbe dominating power of some common Interest—French.- boating. editing a paper together, membership in the same fraternity and tbe "k*. The taifie principle holds true In tbe friendship between man and God. It is brought about by similarity of taste* aad interests. Supreme in God Is the sense of order, whose moral side la righfeoaaneas. How can He have any friendship with a man who lack* this of order? Who doe* not mind _ a glutton or a drunkard of impure. or telling mile or taking what la not bis? As Paul says, “what fellow-

JAMIE'S TBCST. Flora had two babies. Tbey looked like little yellow balls curled up betide her oo the old coat In the barn. One had one TMack ror and one yellow ear, the other two yellow ears end black spot on the end of his stump of a tail. How Jamie laughed when they stuck up their little back wet nosi and made a funny ylpplng noise. He went to the barn a dozen rimes day to see the popples. He wanted to take them some meat but mamma said tbey were too little to eat meat ye One* when Flora had left them for minute Jamie carried them to the back porch to play with thvm. They cried and went sniffing around the porch on their weak legs aa If looking for their mother. Flora heard them and came running to the porch. How they came tumbling to btr when they heard her whine! She poked them with her noee and licked them with her Jongue. Then she seized one by the nap of tta neck and llfted'lt from the porch.

mar he screamed. “Flora la puppies." rNo, no. she wants to take them the barn." One morning pape said: “I will have to take Flora today. I need her to watch tbe wagon." He whistled and Flora came bounding from the barn. When she saw Prince hitched to the wagon she knew what waa expected of her.' She cowered at her master'* feet and whined piteously. “Come, girt, up with yon,' Instead of Jumping Into the wagon ah* raced away to the bars. In a moment she returned, whining ehd' barking. No amount of urging would make btr get into the wagon. “It’s her puppies; she doesn't want to leave them.” said mam: “I'll watch 'em for you." aaid Jamie, running into the barn with tbe dog. Flora teemed to understand. 1 went to the old coat. and. taking a puppy up. laid it it Jamie's feet- Then she brought the other. Beeching up the gave Jamie a lap In tbe face with her tongue, as much as to say: “Bf good to my babies.” and. In a moment more. leaped Into her place .How carefully Jamie watched Flora's puppies during that nwg summer day. He fed them milk from a saucer. He brought them out under the apple tree and made them a bed In toe gret*. Tbe poppies seemed to like It Tbey rolled around on the grass and snapped at the files that lit on the red clovi blossom*.
