Pas tor R n a i e 1 1 of Brooklyn Taber nacle preached bere today under the auspices of the International B I b I Btuueuts AnKodutlon (Lo cal Brunch un aei'tarlun), com poHed of the truth hungry from all denominations. A'lied why such great crowd always attend hla addresoes, while the church cm of all deuuuilnatlona are complain of slim attendance. I'ostor ItUHnell replied, "The people ure thinking. I'er pleied by the Infidelity and Higher CtitlclHni taught lu the principal col leges and pulpits, many desire to have n Interpretation of the Bible consist Cnt with Itself and not at war with the reverential exercise of reason. Tb Scriptures foretell of our day, saying. There shall be a famine to the land; Dot a famine for bread nor a thirst for water, but for the bearing of the Word of the I-ord' (Amos Till, 11). No fairy tules can thoroughly satisfy In telligent thinkers, whose numbers are Increasing. Many of thone who at teud my services and many who read my sermons In the public print long Ince ceased to atteud the church serv ices." Two services were held, one for the public, considering the great "Uere after;" the other, which we report, bad for Its ten God's call to Cain, after lie bad slain bis brother, j'Wbere Is Thy Brother?' and Caln'a reply, "Am 1 My Brother's Keeper V" iticuesls Iv, 2.1 The speaker milil in part: No one can dispute that Individual ism, personal Independence, pcrsonnl responsibility, has done much for tbo development of our nice. The serfdom and piiteruullstn of the Mint were un favorable to Individual thought, re sponsibility and action No wine end good ninn would desire to rob bis fel lows of Independence of mind. One Extreme, Than tha Opposite. We are In dnugor, however, of going to the opposite extreme in (lunger of carrying the subject of personal Inde pendence too far lu danger of neglect ing some who should bare nsnWunce tn dauber of thinking of ull men us being uot only free hut equal. While we all nhmild havt proper freedom of will, yet all ure more or leas haudlcap ped lu the exercise of the will. As St. Paul said, "We cannot do the things Which we would." Sve ure slaves of In and death, some muro aud some lens. Tho Prophet Duvld's explana tion applies to us all. "1 was shapeu In Iniquity, in slu did my mother con ceive me" d'Halm 11, 0). It was In view of such Inequalities of the flesh thnt St. Paul wrote to the Church, "We thnt are strong should benr with tho Infirmities of the weak, and not please ourselves merely " (Romans xv, 1). This principle, ap plied by tho Apostle to the Church, would certainly be appropriate and benchVlnl In the ualiirul family. And as our hearts enlarge we should all come to realize more mid mure the oneness, the solidarity of our race the entire human family, of which 8t. Paul Bays, "Of one blood Cod created nil men, to dwell upon the face of the Whole earth" (Acta xvll, 2th. ! "Where la Thy Brother?" Cod's Inquiry of Cnln Implied Cain's responsibility, and tenches us a lesson respecting our responsibility In God's sight for one another. We will begin with the Church, tho highest type of brotherhood Imaginable; Wo should not be foment to split Into sects and parties. Whatever was the Ignorance of the past, which led to tho formation of the various creeds and denomina tions, there can be no excuse for these now, because Christians of All denom inations have conio to discredit the old creeds Should there not, then, be a movement toward bean unity and fel lowship, outside of denominational nnd relal lines, amongst those who rec ognize God as Pat her, the Lord Jesus Christ as the Redeemer, nud the Bible a the IMvlne Revelation? It Is not proper to say as did Cnlu. "Am I my brother's keoHr?" Every true Christian should routine that to day Christianity la being assaulted In Its own House aud by Its professed friends In the universities, colleges and seminaries of all denominations a battle is raging, which threatens the destruction of our Christian faith. Pimsibly a few are blind to tlir nltua tlon. but the insurgents tho Higher Critics nnd Evolutlonlsts-reHlb'.e the Situation and are craftily vaylng to the people. "We are the. Watchmen upon tbe walls of Wool Hearken to oca car: All Is well!" These Higher Crit ics seem to have no conscience. Tbey claim that tbe people must be gradual ly taken by guile. Tbey encourage them to "sleep," wall" they raise over A Fierce Night Alarm. Ia the boarse, start ling cough of a child, suddenly attacVed by croup. Often It aroused Lewla Chamhlln, of Manchester, O., (R. R. No. I- for their four children were greatly sub ject to croup. "Sometimes la se vere attacks,' he wrote, "we were them the banner of Infidelity called Higher Criticism. Many who see tbe killing of this anti typical Abel shirk tbe responsibility by saying. "Am I my brother's keep er?" not realizing that from the Divine j toward every other Christian with whom tbey are In contact Tbey should realize that loyalty to God means that they "should show forth the praises of Him who bath called us out of darkness Into bis marvelous light" Id a word, every true Christian who has made a full couaecruliou of him self to the Iord. to walk In the foot steps of tbe Savior, should waken to tbe fact that we are in a critical time. We are In the time mentioned by St Paul, when "every man's work shall be tried so as by Are" (I Corinthians ill. 13.1 Tbe testing will be along tbe lines both of faith and of works. Only those holding (Irmly to "tbe faith once delivered to tbe saints" will be able to bring forth such fruits, such good works, as tbe testings of this hour re quire. This class, awoke to their re sponsibility toward God and tbe breth ren and tbe Bible, and full of teal therefore, will thereby be kept In this day." God will bless them In tbeU" endeavors to glorify Illm. My Brother'a "Keeper Socially. In the days of slavery and serfdom, every master, every feudal lord, recog nized a responsibility for bis servants or slaves. He was Interested In their health and In their morals, for tbey were bis property, and any deprecia tion meaut financial loss to him. Thus selfish Interest kept blm alive to bis responsibility, to a considerable degree. But now all that has changed. 8erfs and slaves, released from obligation, are without supervision and care. Tbe less tit of our race are In serious dan ger of being crowded to the wall. Our lawmakers bave recognized tbe fact and have thrown around the weaker sex and children safeguards In tbe laws, protecting them from designing people who would exploit them for selfish purposes. Nevertheless, with all. that human law has yet been able to accomplish, tbe danger Is increased. As knowl edge Increases, trusts and combina tions seltlsbly boost tbe price of life's necessities and luxuries. Those mem bers of our race less favorably equip ped for the battle of life ure seriously disadvantaged, some by reason of less Intellectual, powers, others by reason of unfavorable circumstances uud en vironments. Under such conditions It Is not sur prising that all who are able are bund ing together Into unions for their own protection; nor should It surprise us thnt these, ulso, selfish und hard of heart, should sometimes be unjust In their demands, and sometimes cruel and ready to slay thulr brother who Joins tbem not In tbelr organization. In their desire to promote the best In teresfs of their craft they may. indeed, reasonably exhort fellow-craftsmen to support the orgaulzutlou. aud may show its advantages, but beyond that they dure not go without Infracting tho principles of Justice and bringing Dlvlno condemnation which, sooner or later. In oue way or another, will sure ly bo meted out Seen from this standpoint, uuloulsm has a responsibility toward brethren not members ol the union to treat thotn Justly, kindly, helpfully. And no doubt this attitude would bring the larger blessing and truer prosperity. My Brother's Keeper Financially. Gradunlly tbe world Is realizing Its responsibility to the vre:tlt and Incom petent nnd aged. The Orphunuges. Hospitals, Homes for the I'oor, etc., are all proper recognitions of the brotherhood of man nsldo from thu higher brotherhood lu Christ. We cannot claim that these Institutions are the product, of pure benevolence. e must admit that politics mis much to do with thorn. The desire for con tracts and for labor In connection with these Institutions, has, of course, much to do with their existence. The ex penditure of such enormous sums as anmmlly go to these Institutions nat urally enough draws an army of po litical heelers and onlookers. The Day of Recsmpense. Tho All-Seeing eye of our Creator keopa wutcb over the u tin Irs of His creatures today ns It kept watch over Abel's Interests. God allowed Culu to bave his way; allowed blm to kill bis brother; allowed the righteous to suf fer; yet Cnlu did not escape, but was held accountable for the death of hla brother. God's sentence upon him sep arated him from bis brethren until he cried out thnt bis punishment was grentor than be could bear. Aud, simi larly, wo may be sure thnt the Cnln class of our day will be held account able for the wilful slaying of tbelr brother, essclally to (he exteut thnt the brother despised may tie a child of God. As God dot-lured that the blood of Abel cried to Illm from the ground cried for Justice so the Inti mation of the Scripture is thnt ull In justice of every kind, everywhere will bring a "Just recompense of reward." St James figuratively represents the laborers, the tollers In the Held of la bor today, us crying out to God. and as being heard, und Its resulting lu a great "time of trouble." In which the great the mighty and the rich shall weep bitterly (.lumen v. It. As these are uot the union men. generally, who are crying out ut the present time, we tuny look more especially amongst those on tbe outside; but the leasou U that those who sutler oppression will ultimately have Divine swer exer cised In their defense and for their re lief. St James Intimates that this re lease will come tn this class at tbe coining of Messiah, In siwer and great glory, for the establishment of His Kingdom of Rlghteousuess tn the world. To those who sre the lord's afraid that they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King's New Discovery Is, we have no fear. We rely on It for croon and for coughs, colds or any throat or ,lung trouble." So do thousands ot others. So may you. Asthma, Hay 'Fever, La .Grippe Whooping Cough, people be says. "Have patience, breth ren, for the coming of tbe Lord draw etb nigh." Tbe Lord speaka of this "Day of Recompense" as a "time of trouble"-of the overthrow of oppres alon. tbe uplifting of the poor and those tbat bave no helper (I's. lull. 12i. The Desire of All Nations Shall Come." Those who are entirely satisfied with present conditions are tbe compara tively few who bave special advan tages. Tbe masses are discontented some of tbem properly so. and others of tbem more discontented than Is rea sonable. All but tbe very poorest and worst situated are better off today than were their grandfathers yet less contented. The spirit of discontent selfishness and a failure to note and to enjoy the great blessings which God has provided so bountifully, as well as wonderfully. Id our duy. prevails. Nevertheless, some bave reason for discontent; and some, looking Into tbe future, are fearing worse conditions, as tbe monopolies bave gained a firmer grip upon all tbe necessities of life. Surely tbelr forebodings are not without grounds. Unless something shall occur to lift matters out of their present rut human Intelligence sees, at a not far distant day. a new serf dom, with musters directing all tbe forces of tbe world, and with tbe com mon people at tbelr mercy, glad to bave a sufficiency of work and of wage for life's necessities. Long ago the speaker harbored the theory taught blm lu bis creed, that mankind is totally depraved; but sure ly none ore totally depraved except tbe Idiotic. Tbe speaker believed that there Is an element favorable to right eousness In every member of our race, and that sin Is largely the result of unfavorable environments; and that tbe majority of mankind would be glad. Indeed, If some Divine Interposi tion were to lift them and their affairs out of present conditions and put tbem upon a plane of absolute righteousness. Justice, equity. This, tbe speaker be lieves. Is the desire of a large element in every nation, a predominating class. Such a reign of rlghteousuess. Justice, equity In the world, will speedily re sult, he said, from the establishment of Messiah's Klugdoui. foe which we pray. "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it Is in heaven." Most explicitly do the Scriptures de clare this. Haying, "The desire of ull nations shall come" (lluggal II, 7l. This declaration Is In conjunction with the foretelling of tbe establishment of Messiah's Kingdom. The reign of righteousness which it will inaugurate will be the Ideal of tbe musses ot mankind, although quite probably the overthrow of Trusts uud Combines will, for a time, not be viewed sympa thetically by the rich, the wise, the preferred, the favored class, under present conditions. As it required time for the slave holders of the pust to become reconciled to the loss of tbelr slaves and to see the righteousness of their being freed, so it will be with thoso who nt present ure closely Iden tified with great Institutions which are bringing uiuukind Into slavery. Our Lord sized up the situation, say ing. Blessed nre you who weep nnd mouru. for you shall be comforted. Woe unto those who ure full, for they shall bave distress (Luke vl, 21. 2'ti. The reign of Justice and righteous ncss will ultimately appeal to ull In heart harmony with .lehovuh, and nil who fall to thus come luto tenrt bur mouy with Illm will be accounted us unworthy of Ills gift of everlasting life; for "He who loves not his brother whom be bntb seen, how could be love God whom be butb not seen?" The thousand years of .Messiah's reign, during which nis Bride, the Elect Church, will be associated with Him. will be quite sulllclent for the equalization of all of life's affairs for the entire race. "In Ills day slialljlie righteous flonrl'h." and not the mere ly strong. In His Day evil doers uud not well doers will be crushed. It Is written of His Kingdom thnt It "shall lift up the poor out of the dunghill, und shall bring down the mighty from their seats." Tha Disciplines According to Previous Charaoter- Development. The whole wor.ld of mankind will then be transferred Into the bauds of Messiah, who will take tbem )ust as thru art. They will be in vurious con ditions. Some will be more depraved, others less depraved; some will be more seared In their consciences and some less; nud these deficiencies of character will depone, upou tbe way lu which each one accepted or rejected light und opportunity In the present time. Those who kurw not His will and did It not will receive few stripes; those who' knew Bi will and did it not will receive many strles. because ol previous bardeulng of character. Ev erybody will tie required, eventually, to come up to the full standard of Di vine requirements. Those more de praved will have greater difficulty nnd those less depraved will have less dif ficulty uud receive fewer stripes, in the coming up to Divine requirements. Thoso who most willingly and most gladly assent to the leveling process will most quickly receive the Divine blessing aud make the most rapid progress along the Highway of Holi ness, back to full tin urn u perfection and eternal life. And those who now. lu advance of the establishment of the Kingdom, love righteousness and hate Iniquity, come at present Into favor with tho King of kings, and thus are specially favored with light and knowl edge, and are luvlted to become assiv elate with Messiah lu His glorious Klugdoui. lilch is to effect tho long promised, groat reformation of earrs's affairs. Let us all take to benn and apply well this lesson, but especially those who have hoard aud who havv responded to the Divine Invitation to become heirs of God and Jalnt-belrs with our Redeemer.
