DR. NEIL APPEALS FOR "IRE RELIGION OF CHEERFULNESS RII'll SCOTCH HUMOR AND , ;,amtihi:d COM MON .SENSE I 1-KI.ACHKD HY DIVINE In iii.'ii'J respects, the sermon de- ' i,y l>r. S. Z. Neil, of New j y.itk. -So-rotary "f the Bible anil I, I Department under Hie aegis! j []„. Northern Rpptist Convcn- | lion, was a delightful departure J fumi H>e traditional form of pulpit

|ir. Neil was one of the many educators who met In con\-cntion at the Strand Hotel during tli» past »eck. At Hie request of Dr. .Milton H. Iluck, the distinguished preacher consented to take the evening sen-ice at the Strand Theatre on Sunday. Replete with rich Scotch humor. pa»ky and Mildly ironical, and with sanctified common sense, Dr. ' Neil's di -course was un eloquent appeal for a more general pracli.e of the "!>ligion of Cheerfulness." Dr. Neil liad very litUc mercy upon that form of religion which ; manife t itself in sullen tempers, ultra - sanctimonious deportment, gloom and affected piety. j "When sonic people sjieuk to me of their extreme piety," said Dr. Neil, "! am more impressed witli the conviction thnt they are the ! victims of dyspepsia." We must admit, said Dr. Neil.! that religion has lieen rather unkind. It has deprecated humor, mirth and cheer, ami has exalted gloom and depression. If there is one trift for which we should Rive thanks constantly, it is for the 1 power to IuurI) and smile. No reliRion is of much account which cannot strike the note of op- 1 timism. The Puritans were a no- ' Me race of men, Jiut they erred in I mistaking doom for piety and snn- 1 etimonimisness for sanctity. «. The relidon of Rloom is a dan- ' gerous heresy, and has done more x to alirevale the world from the I church than anythiiiR else. "I have ' no more riRht," said Dr. Neil, "to ' unload my ur]>- moods upon the v world, than I have to unload my!

garbage in my neighbor's Ranlen. We arc here to add somethinR to' life, and not subtract from it." Referring to the last war. Dr. Neil said that the one quality which won the admiration of the , wurld to the British and American soldiers, was their unconquerable j , cheerfulness. They went marching! down into the very jaws of death with a merry song on their lips,!, and laughter in the hearts. This , was the only quality of manhood , which the Hermans could not equal f "If I were to suggest a motto for life," said Dr. Neil, "it would f he this, 'lie an encourager.' Culti- j vate the art of seeing good inj others. Sell your hammer and buy ' * horn. If you are a member of ' the "wet blanket" society, give up ' 1 your memliership at once." j 0 Dr. Neil further referred to the ""taunted cheerfulness of the im- '

Upon an ' I st ' occasion, when discussing the ter- ; I d- rihle period of the Civil IVVnr, l.infl coln said: "lla, I I not than l,eon ,|p i,,llc to laugh, i would have died." a- "Smiles have an ethical value! Iicyond computation," said Dr. Neil r. in conclusion. "Over anxiety is '' id the curse of the age, and brooding r. over imaginary troubles its great- j it est sin. Walk on the sunny side I e of life. Keep your face always | • turned townrds the morning. Sun- S y j shine will cure many more ills be- ! il h sides tuberculosis. Life has its ! s », sorrows and its troubles, hut a' t.; smiling face will triumph while the h I < hHd of gloom falls ilefcated." j „
