SOCIALISTS
SECRETARY STONE
Y. M. C. A. Meeting in Turmoil
Following Address of
W. T. Mills.
SAYS MEN SHOULD MARRY
Present Conditions, However, Pre
vent Homebuilding Mr. Stone
Takes Exception to Remark.
Some Express Disapproval.
When Secretary H. W. Stone arose to
apeak from the platform of the T. M. C.
A. Auditorium at the men's meeting "yes
terday afternoon he was hissed by Social
ists present, who took exception to1 the
remarks he made following the address
of Walter Thomas Mills, a noted Socialist,
and editor of the Saturday Evening Trib
une, of Seattle. During the course pf
t remarks. Mr. Mills took occasion to
ret;r to the retUlRht district, and said the
sure remedy for :ts .existence lay, not in
legislation, but iv ' iii.ng .facilities by
which men couM . , :r support for faml
I;, and hy which young men could afford
to marry with some hop3 of keeping the
wolf from the door.
Mr. Stone paid that he did not believe
Mr. Mills i sird to leave the impression
that present economic conditions excused
men from a duty they owed to them
selves, to their fcllowmen, and to the laws
of the state. He said that no matter how
bad the economic conditions were, they
did not Justify any man's frequenting the
redlight district. "There may be 2,000,000
men in the United States who ought to
be married, as Mr. Mills says," continued
Mr. Stone, "but I believe there are many
men wandering up and down the earth
who, under the present economic cona
tions, could establish homes if they would.
I have never seen a healthy, able-bodied
Voung man who could not, in the CUy of
Portland, establish a home if he wanted
to."
At this Mr. Stone was loudly denounced
by the hisses of the Socialists, and one
man, evidently a foreigner, yelled, "You
jan't make a home on $1.75 a day!
"You believe in free speech, " Mr. Stone
replied. "Some of us do not look at
things as Mr. Mills does, but we .have
coord ed um the right to speak. I would
aak you to accord me the same privilege."
Mr. Mills said in part: '
Value of the Home.
1 do not believe that voting the Socialist
ticket will Ret jobs for us all quick enough
so that nono of us will have to go hungry
In the meantime. Law son had a series of
articles running: In an Eastern magazine
for more than a year, and said he would
give the remedy for present-day evils in
good plain terms so everybody could under
stand them. But when he came to the end
of the series he said that the people were
not ready for the remedy yet. I will tell
you the remedy when I finish a series nf
lectures I am giving in the city. I shall
speak at the Grace Methodist Church to
night and at the White Temple next Sun
day night.
There Is no other word which expresses
so much pain and sorrow and misery as
the word "homeless." There Is no other
condition which tends so much to disorder,
and to the breaking down of the man phys
ically, morally and Intellectually as that
of homelessness. The Young- Men's Chris
tian Association, with Its kindred organi
sation, the Young Women's Christian Asso
ciation, bridges over the time which elapses
between the moment of leaving the parental
roof and the joyous moment when the man
or woman goes into his or her own home.
There Is no other thing In human life
that moans so much as love, and there Is
no place In human life where love means
so much a In the home. There Is' no place
where love can create so much that is
good and holy as In the relationships which
bind men and women together by their
mutual heartstrings. There is no offense
against the boy so great as to teach him
that his slater Is a Joke. There is no other
crime against a woman so great as to teach
her that m mnn is a convenience or an
opportunity. There Is no other thing that
van do so much to save a man. none that
can do so much to damn a man. as the
winning of the home every man ought to
have, or the loss of the home which ought
to be within the reach of every living man.
The highest place In life is that place
where sex lines converge. The holiest place
In society ts that place where a man and a
woman become the complement of each
other. The source of the greatest manliness,
nd the foundation of the greatest character,
are laid about the fireside. I ajn not at
tempting to say that love is all there is in
life, that sentiment shall take tha place
of thrift, that we shall deny that which
Is genuine in order that we may assert
what wo know to be, popular.
Love Only Can Create.
The fireside is the creation of love, fflr
I ova Is the only power which can create.
Hatred never caused anything but harm.
A madman can spread nothing but madness
and contention. Words of bitterness may
sting, ana mi the heart with rankllna? mem
ories, but no matter how well deserved, they
ran never Inspire to higher, nobler deed?.
Mnetner it is in the work of the Y. M. C.
A., or of the store, or of the farm, where
ever It is, the man who goes there with his
heart full of hatred cannot serve others
until he gets the roots of bitterness out of
ms own neart.
No thing In all man's life urges him so
mucn to secure the means of life as the
ambition to real lie the fullness of what
. life should mean to him. I am not here
to make men hate monopolies. I am here
to taiK against the monopoly because s;
long as the monopoly is possible the fire
side is impossible. You are not to hate
the Standard Oil Company because it is
a monopoly, but because you love your
wife and children more than you do your
own me, ana you should provide for them.
6o long as you put in your time making
millionaires out of a handful of Deonle
you can make nothing but paupers out of
your wire and children.
There has never been a virtuous manhood
wunoui a virtuous nreside. There cannot
do a normal cmxensmp without a pure
home. i here can be no such thine as
strrng bodies and pure minds and clean
hearts unless these homes are oosslhle. I
have heard the old story of love in a log
cabin with four bare walls and love en
throned, but I do not know of any place
where a master Is more likely to lose his
scepter than in such a place. Corn bread
and water, with four baro walls and floors,
and live on love say boys, that Is Infinitely
better than no home at all. But a man
who would be content to keep a woman he
loves in such a place is not fit to live on
ths earth.
Every Man Should Marry.
Kvery one of you men should be a mar
ried man. When men who ought to be
married are married there will be no red
light district, nor barrooms. You may
make all the laws against vice that you
Please, but the wiser policy is to open up for
men the opportunity to do the healthy,
righteous thing. Instead of making only
laws. You don't have to comnland a child
to play. Neither ts It necessary to tell him
to work, for there Is no thing ao natural
and normal In human life as work, and the
amount of work necessary that a man may
have a good, healthy existence is the
amount necessary to provide an existence
f.r him.
There are in tha United States today no
le than 2.000.000 men who should be mar
ried, and -.ooo. OX) women who should have
married them, bt who are not gotng to do
It. These weddings did not take place,
not because of the faults of the men. but
because of the Influence of their best quali
ties. I am not talking now about the men
and women who marry for money. They
marry quickly enough. Bach one of these
couple of million men wilt look Into the
face of some woman and tell the same old
story told for the last thousand centuries,
they will struggle for the mastery of pas
sions they cannot conquer, and then turn
away and say it never can be; not because
these men are false, but because they refuse
to betray these women and their future
posterity into a condition of helpless, hope
less poverty and distress.
If there are 2.000.000 men who have re
fused to marry because the prospects were
so unfavorable, how many millions have
been married only to realise what other
men have feared to encounter? Is there
anything more terrible than a broken fire
side? How can a man go away from home,
looking for work and keep his fireside? I
frequently marry couples, and would often
like tn add one thing to the ceremony. But
I dare not, for It would disqualify them. 1
want to say, 'that you love, cherish and
protect each the other, and that you stay at
home evening's that you may do It." but,
men. if we cannot fret hold of the tools
to do the work we will not be able to stay
at home evenings nor at any other time. -
Home the Necessary Thing.
If the family has a right to exist, if the
home is necessary to the normal, healthy,
human life, and If there ia more manhood,
more virtue, more of the sources of rood
citizenship In the home than anywhere else,
then above everything else the home Is nec
essary. To shut a man out from the work
shop Is to shut him away from the fire
side. If be Is so conscientious that he feels
he should earn bread in the sweat ot his
face, and not in the sweat of some other
man's face. If be eats bread in the sweat
of his face, however, he cannot provide
bread for a loafer, and at the same tlmo
have enough for his family. What the
working man needs is employment In one
place, at fair wages, and enough of it.
Without this America Is doomed and
damned.
There la no memory that it pays a man
so well to cherish, as the memory of the
old home. None will raise him higher, or
make him stronger, or keep him cleaner,
than the ambition to have one of his own.
For no fault of ours, nor of the million
aires, nor yet of the politicians, not because
of the shortcomings of the churches, nor
the crimes of the political parties, but be
cause of the infamies of the monopolies, we
are ia our present economic condition. In
attemntlnff to ao backward we must perish.
There is only one thing to do. Mount the situ
ation and take advantage of It. that these
grext industrial forces may be so related that
no other man snaa De requireo. io jumisn
palace for another man until be can have
hovel of his own. nor to ouy a moiiKcy
dinner for other men's wives before he can
furnish bread for his family. By keeping
men busy at their own firesides, we shall
keep them away from the red-light district.
We must so nil men witn tna gooa imngs
which they should have, that the evil
things will have no power over them. The
Mienium win come wuon iuc cu-vici u.u
commonwealth come. The first law of
life ia the preservation of self; the nignest,
the preservation of the race.
Mr. Mills will apeak at me urace aieui-

and the Unemployed." He states he is
seeking to inaugurate a general movement
among those who do not oeiong to laoor
unions, looking to a betterment or con
ditions.

TRUST IN THE INFINITE THE
ONLY REQUISITE.
Fellowship Circle Discusses Strength
Found In Faith in Ulti
mate Good.
"The Strength of Non-Resistance,"
the subject which proved of such in
terest a week ago, was continued yes
terday under the leadership of Dr. J. J.
Story, at the meeting of the Fellowship
Circle. He said in part:
It seems to me that no more important
subject has engaged the attention of our
circle since its organization. I have heard
it said that when a person is just wnere
he belongs, nothing can come to him but
good. Be it disaster, accident or even death
it is well, and the Individual is perfectly
safe.
Do you not see how a person who knows
he Is in the right can throw his fears to
the wind and feel strong in tne screngm oi
the Infinite?
Friends, I wonder If we realize how
much of our force and vitality Is actually
used up, and worse than wasted In resisting
things. Most of our trouble is norrowea. it
is the friction that wears us out, makes us
look old before our time, and if there is
any way to get on without it, any way to
oil tne macninery ot "re so it wui muvo
easily, noiselessly and smoothly, let us
find It.
I intimated last Sunday that tbe most
powerful forces in nature were silent.
The strongest force I can Imagine, in
tbe physical universe, is the force of at
traction. Every particle of matter in the
material universe is affected by It. If you
will substitute love for attraction, and ex
tend Its field of operation to the spiritual
realm you will, I think, be convinced of the
futility of trvlna- to resist It.
Now, the best definition I can give yon
of non-resistance is living absolutely in con
formity with this law of love, not resisting
It. I believe we can cultivate our spiritual
nature so that our Intuitions may be de
pended on to indicate the proper course to
pursue and we will be safe to trust our
selves to its guidance.
The law of non-resistance Is the law of
the universe. We cannot break a law; But
unless we live in accordance with it we our
selves will be broken.
It is interesting to note that In the same
ratio that man becomes humane he ceases
to desire the annihilation of his enemies,
and directs bis thoughts toward peace and
harmony.
The entire scheme is embraced In the
beautiful motto of our Fellowship: "Abso
lute trust as the fixed attitude of the mind
and perfect love as the practice of the
life."
I am satisfied that a large part of the
business of the world ts at present con
ducted on this basis or one very nearly akin
to It. Most of us know by experience bow
difficult It is to win our point by resist
ance, and bow easy to do it by love. What
we need more than anything else In this
world Is poise spiritual balance a realiza
tion as Brother De Young would say of
"what we are.'
What I have more than anything else
desired ia spiritual understanding. To re
alize that there Is but one power In the
universe and that is lova, and how abso
lutely futile it Is to try to resist it.
This law may require of us vigorous ac
tion in support of tins right, and when we
are certain of our course we should use all
our powers for the accomplishment cf our
purposes, having no care or fear as to
the results. Desires for anything as an end
skould be killed out, and results left to
the Infinite. .

Somewhat lu Error.
A well-known Judge, who had the rep
utation of being a bon vtvant," was one
day trying a case In which there was a
dispute about a water supply. Having
jus partaken of a hearty luncheon, he
began to nod suspiciously during coun
sel's long-winded argument. Suddenly
the barrister thundered out, "What we
want, my lord, is water!'
"Very little in mine, please; very lit

up suddenly. Tit-Blts-
FIGHT Off TO END
Dr. Brougher Encourages the
Weary in Life's Battle.
CITES EXAMPLE CF PAUL
Pastor Answer His Own Question,
"What's the Use, or Is Life
Worth Living?" in the
Affirmative.
"What's the Use, Is tjie Game Worth
the Candle?" was the subject chosen by
0r. J. Whitcomb Brougher for his ser
mon at the White Temple last night.
He took for his text II Timothy, iv:5-8.
where' Paul, about to be executed at
Rome, says : "I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith." Dr. Brougher said
lie, was led to speak upon this subject
through a number of conversations he
had had with people who couldn't see
the use in keeping a stiff -upper lip and
pegging away in the face of discour
aging circumstances. He referred to
the moral tone of the city, and said
it was better than it was three years
ago. In part he said:
Paul looked upon life as a battle. When
be uttered the text of this sermon he was
In a Roman prison and In a few days his
head was to be severed from his body at
the command of the murderous Nero. Was
the fight he made worth tha while? Is the
reward worth the struggle men and women
individually make to be good? The tor
rlfic thing about the battle of life Is that
It never comes to an end until you die. It
is a fight from the time you are old
enough to make moral decisions until the
final struggle with death. A great many
people get 'discouraged and give up the
fight. I heard a man say the other day,
"What's the use trying to be good? The
man whe does the best gets more kicks
than all tha rest." I heard a policeman
say, "What's the use arresting certain evil
doers In the city? They always escape
with little or no fines and go rtght back to
repeat the thing over again." I heard a
city official say, "What's the use enforcing
laws when tbe decent people will not stand
by you and support you in the hour that
vou need them most ?' I heard a noted
lawyer say, "What's the use prosecuting the
land-fraud casea when the Supreme Court
will turn around and set free the ones who
are convicted ?" The public In general Is
asking today, "What's the use prosecuting
the grafters In San Francisco when the
California Court of Appeals will turn around
and set free the notorious grafter,
Schmitz?"
The Oregonlan well said In an editorial
Saturday morning, "Five decisions have been
made by a higher court within the last few
days which outrage the common sense of
mankind." in the face of these discourag
ing features shall we say that It is not
worth while to make the fight for right and
the struggle for the gdod? Shall we sur
render to the evil influences of life? Shall
we give-up hope because of apparent defeat
today? No, indeed! Progress in the suc
cess of righteousness and the achievement of
that which Is good Is not made in
straight line, it Is a spiral. There are
times of defeat and depression, but he who
endures to the end and continues the fight
will in tne long run win out.
It Is a Fight to Be Good.
Paul spoke of the crown of righteousness
which the Lord, the righteous Judge, should
give him on the last day. But that was
not the great purpose for which he was
fighting. He was not fighting merely to
gain a crown. He was fighting to gain
character that would be a source of per
petual nappiness. sometimes in college, stu
dents are offered & prize for high standing
In certain studies. Now, there are some
who study simply to get the prlze.v but
the student who understands the value of
knowledge will seek knowledgefor Its own
sake irrespective of any prize. The gain
ing or tne Knowledge Itself Is the reward,
I heard a small boy say the other day
that he entered a pie-eating contest, not
for the sake of the prise that was offered
to the boy who could eat the most pumpkin
pie, but because he loved the pie. He won
the prize but he said the real object of
enjoyment was tne nie itself.
The man that speaks truth for the sake
of the praise of truth is not really truthful.
The man who Is honest because "honesty
Is the best policy la not genuinely honest
at heart. The man who endeavors to be
humble and holy and perfect in order just
to win heaven has only a counterfeit good
ness, it is a spurious goodness which 1
simply good because of the reward that Is
coming. The great struggle of life should
be to attain a character that Is good be
cause it la right to be good. We should
seek knowledge for its own sake. We
should strive for the truth and the right
ana the pure ana - the beautiful and th
things that are good because these are the
things which ma' character. The reward
for attaining these things is an added hap
piness and joy. Therefore in the great bat
tle of lire a man must never say "defeat."
He must never know when he is whipped
For the very struggle itself is the means
by which goodness is achieved and character
established.
Fight to Overcome Evil.
Paul declares that there are three great
enemies against which the soul of men must
struggle:
First- He must overcome the world of
sinful enticement. The ingenuity of man
sharpened by the Ingenuity of the devil has
invented every possible incentive to wrong
doing. In the midst of a world of sin
where a young man has' one inducement
and, encouragement to do right, he has
ninety-nine enticements to do wrong. Now
Is it worth the while making the fight
against such odds? It certainly is, for while
the pleasures of sin may last for a season,
In the end they only result in death. On
the other hand, the man who puts up a de
termined and persevering fight, the man
who is willing -to suffer hardships and en
dure affliction, will find that right will ul
timately triumph and the consciousness of
having fought a good fight and won the
victory will In the end make the struggle
seem insignincant.
The worst enemy that man has Is the
spy on the inside. He betrays our weak
spots to the enemy on the outside. He
persuades us to compromise when we ought
to put up an unyielding resistance. We
must be careful not to "mlslocate the devil.
Most of the time when we think he is on
the outside he is on the inside. There
KtLm a. time when some rood neoole thought
the devil was In the organ. He had very
little probably to do with the organ. He
was probably down In the pew on the Inside
of the carp me critic.
A noted temperance orator was accused
by his enemies on one occasion of getting
drunk. He stepped before the great con
gregatlon that had come to listen to him
and acknowledged the accusation but he
said as he described the misery that drirlc
had brought upon his home and Into his own
life. "I have fought the demon of drink
now for five years. I have brought nappi
ness to my own home and thousands of
other homes. Last week I fell but I am up
again and I propose from this1 time on to
continue the fight." That man lived to win
a triumphant victory over his own appe
tite and the liquor business.
Must Overcome Devil.
I know there are people who do not be
lieve in the existence of a personal devil.
But Paul declares that the great fight of
his life was against the devil "against tbe
principalities, against the powers, against
the rulers of the darkness, against the
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the high
places." "Wherefore," he says, "put on
the whole armor of God tha ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
That no one has ever seen the devil is no
argument that he does not exist. Because
no one has ever seen the electric fluid that
is pouring through the electric wires of this
city is no sign that it does not exist. The
results of its existence are on every hand.
So on every hand you may see the result
of the existence of a derfl. His awful
work of ruin shows that ha Is here.
The iron that is brought under the Influ
ence of the magnet ia magnetized. The soul
that yields itself to the influence of the
devil Is demonized. The man who ts going
to win against this superior personal power
must have the . strength of one who is
I mightier than the devil. Jesus Christ has
proved himself such a Savior. He is able
to conquer unholy appetites and desires and
bring your verv thoughts into subjection to
that which is right. He resisted the devil
when he was on earth and has given to
man the assurance that he also may be vic
torious In the conflict with evil.
Let no one therefore ever lose hope. Re
member that God can never be defeated.
Link your life by faith to that of Jesus
Christ and when you come to the final
struggle with death you will be able to
say with the great Apostle. "I have fought a
good fight," ana then depart in peace.

DRAWS MORAL FROM CAIX
Rev. Clarence True Wilson Tells
Story of First Murder.
The Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church, on the - corner of East Ninth
and Pino streets, was well filled yes
terday morning to hear Dr. Clarence
True Wilson's sermon on "Three Typi
cal Sinners." He took his text from
Jude 11: "Woe unto them, for they
went in the way of Cain; they ran
riotously In the error of Balaam for
hire, and perished in the gainsaying of
Korah." He said, in part:
Sin only repeats itself as it perpetuates
itself. The sins of Cain's life are of the
same nature ' as those of today. The story
runs that Cain offered worship to God, but
was an esthetic service with no idea of
blood - sacrifice or atonement and his fruits
and flowers were rejected. Abel, on the other
hand, brought a eln offering. He laid the
lamb on the altar for sacrifice and found
acceptance. Cain was wroth and his coun
tenance fell. He then began to treasure
envy and his hatred grew by day and night
until it ended in a tragedy. Well, we are
not going to commit murder. No, but 68
Oregonians did last year. Cain had no ade
quate religion, then how could he have an
adequate morality? Religion Is morality In
relation to God. Morality is religion In re
lation, to man. An Imperfect religion always
makes an inefficient morality.
Balaam was the prophet whom Balak
sought to hire to curee Israel. He did not do
but be parleyed about it, and stands a
beacon light to glare his warning to this
latest age against that spirit of compromise
which eats the heart out of character. And
the scriptures suggest that it was the tempt
ing glitter of Balak's gold that explains the
degradation of hi character. He that maketb
haste to be rich shall not be Innocent. For
the love of money is a root of all kinds- of
evil. The maw of avarice is like the horse
leech, ever crying give, give. And greed for
gold goes on to pile up its hoards until
there Is no other God to worship and no other
friend to love. i
This is the crying sin of the.. age. Every
gentle virtue goes down before it. It sup
presses compassion, stimulates cruelty, fos
ters deceit, destroys affection. It Is ghastly
with tbe triumphs ot fraud; slimy with the
virus of hate; red with the emoluments of
murder. It turns on the world- the frigid
atmosphere of unbrotherly selfishness
makes of tbe faeart a canker, of experience
perdition. Balaam shows what the worldly
spirit will do If it can be taken Into part
nership with sacred things.
Korah, in the days when Moses and Aaron
were leading the children of Israel, began
to criticise their leadership and methods until
he had worked up quite a party -of opposition
and tiey gathered themselves together against
aaoses and said, "ye take too much on your
self, seeing that all the congregation Is holy."
but the earth opened and swallowed them.
Those who resist God's chosen leader fight
against him. All who fall to aid his cause
are against him as well. What a sad ex
ample of Inordinate ambition to see Korah
seeking the priest's office. If Moses is in
his way, all the worse for Moses. It Is this
spirit that makes It so difficult for merit to
rwe ana lor moaesty to be seen at all. Every
head that rises above the dead level of the
common average must come oft or be the
target lor every hateful hit. The ambition
that Is selfish and unbridled will always lead
iu envjr ua jealousy.

Woman Feared Consumption bnt Specialist
Said Cough Came from Coffee.
Quite a relief to learn your cough,
which everyone said was surely con
sumption, is really caused by reflex ir
ritation from coffee drinking.
You can quit the coffee, but consump
tion is hard to "shake."
A Wisconsin woman coughed so hard
and so -much she and her friends
thought sure she had consumption, but
a specialist in lung diseases found her
lungs were all right the cough came
from coffee. . She writes: ,
"I had a very bad cough that re
fused to yield to medicine. After five
months' doctoring with my home doctor
and fearing consumption, I consulted
a specialist, who examined my lungs
thoroughly. He said they were all
right but I must quit drinking coffee,
as that was probably the cause of It. I
was very nervous, also.
"He suggested I drink Postum, and
gave me no medicine, only said he
would, write to my home doctor. I
came home glad in one way and sorry
in another. I thought it was hard to
give up coffee, for I did not care for
breakfast without it.
"The doctor's letter miscarried and
I got no medicine for two weeks, but!
I left off conee ana oegan to use Dost
um, and my cough began to get better.
I steadily improved in other ways
digestion got all right and I was not
nervous.
"A short time ago I went to a' picnic
where they served only coffee and I
drank some, but found my great love
for it was entirely gone.
"I would have been glad to have
had a cup of Postum, for the coffee I
drank seemed like I had swallowed a
stone, besides I did not sleep that night.
Nothing would induce me to go back
to coffee again." Name given by Pos

Dr. Muckley Preaches on
"Ethics Versus Etiquette."
REBUKE FOR HYPOCRITES
Draws Lesson From Christ's Contro
versies With -Scribes and Phari
sees Says Savior Could Not '
Brook "Empty Formalities.
Rev. E. S. Muckley, preached at-the
First Christian Church last night on
Ethics vs. Etiquette, or People who
Are More Concerned About Their Man
ners Than Their Morals." He spoke
from Mark vii:3-4, and said in ub-
stance:
Somehow Christ nevsr became very popu
lar anions the Scribes and Pharisees. His
teaching and practices ran over too many of
their customs and traditions tnai naa maas
the law of God of no effect. If there was
ny thins: 'Christ could not brook it was
meaningless formalities that made people
think more of their manners than their
morals. He was after character, not forma
and ceremonies under which men could
hide their meanness while displaying; their
manners. It Is remarkable what a hold
formalities and etiquette set on some, peo
ple. The passport in certain religious cir
cles Is the ease with which certain human
forms are rone through, while the pass-
port to some social circles Is the strict
adherence to certain rules of etiauette.
The case In hand was the Jewish habit
of washing hands, a formality they strenu
ously Insisted on before they ate. This
custom had come dojtvn from the fathers as h
traditional rule which some of Christ's fol
lowers ignored. This was enough to stamp
them as bad, and Christ, their leader, as
worse. He was allowing his disciples to
commit an unpardonable ain. They must
get after him. But Christ had a very
shrewd, tactful and forceful way of set
ting after people who got after him. They
came to quarrel with him and cot more
than they bargained for. They were so In
tent upon outer forms that they lost sight
of inner qualities. The outcome of their
view of life was that true morality was lost
sight of. Jesus penetrated in a moment
not only their design but their real charac
ter. They came to charge up sin against Christ
But he turns upon them and charges up
hvoocrisv aaainst them. It was a turn
they were not able to meet. They thought
they had a good case against him, but came
to find that he had a good case against
them. That's always the outcome. You
can't get Into an argument with Christ,
but what vou are worsted.
There are just such people today. A
few may get into the pulpit. A few more
may get into the pew. But wherever they
are, Christ wants to uncover their real
character. Our Lord established . sys
tem of religion that was practically with
out the ceremonial and formal because these
furnish such a fine opportunity to practice
hypocrisy. But the hypocrite gets in under
any system. One would think that straignt
preaching from the shoulder would keep
them out. The modern hypocrite has an
ax to grind and be will stand anything from
a clubbing to a currying to get his
ground.
But occasionally the preacher runs up
against It in the way of a congregation that
judges him less by what he says than the
way he says It. They want meaningless
platitudes dished out to them from the pui
pit In nice-sounding phrases that will keep
their physical eyes open while tney enjoy
a spiritual slumber. But the church Is
being purified by the wave of civic right
eousness that Is sweeping across this coun
try. -It is beginning to mean something o
be a Christian. It meant something in
Christ's time. It Is getting harder to be a
hvoocrite in the church than It used to be.
But the hypocrites are not all in the
church. Society is full of them. Much
so-called society today la rotten at the
verv core. Their manners are all right,
but what morals they allow! They will
violate all rules of decency and morals, while
scrupulously following the latest approved
book on etiquette. They will eat the right
thine with the right fork and wear th
latest stvle in their gowns and other attire,
never making a mistake in the rules for
outward propriety. But they will end
function at which every rule of etiquette
has been observed by getting drunk and
tumbling under the table in snameiui de
bauch. Hieh society has done this.
I am not decrying good manners. They,
are all rlsrht. They make a splendid capi
tal. Many a man's fortune has been In his
manners. But when a man carries around
good manners with which to cover up bad
morals he is a hypocrite of the worst
kind.

Humanity, unforunately, misses these God-

worldly things and worldly wisdom that in

to fill our lives that I wonder we are so
blind to Its good lessons.
There is the vision of Jesus Christ In all
nature Look at the universe and you see In
Its order and cosmos the divine hand. There
Is an eternal meaning In the song of the
bird, the voice of the brook. Who can fall
to see behind all these wonders a spiritual
meaning which should call forth the highest
and best that Is in us? There is certainly
drift of all worldly things toward an
eternity history bespeaks Him and moves
on and on toward such a goal.
A vision of these things is necessary to
the larger life; hearken to the many voices
of nature and catch the glory of God In the
glint of the glorious sky above. We know
that every life that trusts shall be happy
and the hearts that meet adversity shall be
reconciled and And comfort. Thus darkness
becomes light and this severe drill perfects
our lives by eradicating our natural and
sinful tendencies. Such as these . are they
who live the true Christian life by adjusting

them in the Holy Spirit and in fire. He
said in part:
John's baptism of repentance was a
purging of dead works, while Christ's was a
quickening into new life. The baptism by
water had from time immemorial been tor
the outward cleansing, the taking away of
defilement already committed. In the an
cient cosmogony Are was the principle of
life, so It is not so mu h a purifying as a
Quickening symbol.
The baptism of the holy spirif Is (Ire. and
when it touches the dead embers of the
heart, the flame of worship is kindled anew.
God Is more anxious to send It to us then
we are to receive it and the old Grecian
myth of the punishing of Prometheus for a
thousand years because he brought Are
from heaven to earth, finds its counterpart
in the gospel.
On the day of Pentecost there were many
tongues but just one flame one npirit and
many manifestations. One Jioly spirit can
possess many souls. It Is not only the
symbol of Indwelling but of power. It
should not enter into our possession but b
our possessor. We ask the I,ord to send
us the holy' spirit when we should rather
ask to give ourselves to the holy spirit.
It takes spirit-filled Christians to make
others want to be Christians. Is the spirit
of God flowing through you? Are you a
witness for Him that the power of resurrec
tion yas not sealed in the tomb?
