The tal Kaunt figure became a radiant char acter and the robe of eternal glory graccruiiy folded itself about th giant of the race. At his passin venomous tongues ceased to spea and men bowed their heads in mute admiration. The biush of shame fe upon the pastes of "Punch," and In mood of penitence the paper whie had unmercifully caricatured him pa to the "dead president honors, due t a hero and king of men. That tribut was an echo of the ancient cry, "Be hold the man! "How this man exalted the Idea of service! So real and so simple wa his life. The atmosphere he breathe was that of the common people, whom he belonged. Some pointed mm as a gawky and uncultured one, but it was because they lacked th vision to discern the native ease an g race of soul, which belonged to him, Way l.e4 to Freedom. They who look only for the beaut f the physical have no eye fo spiritual refinement. This was servant of God and the people, whose character was formed In a mol divinely prepared, made from th "sweet play of the breast of the un varnished west.' He needed no sta or garter to give him dignity. Sue s he scorned to play the part of grandee. His were the marks of hon ext and sincerity, purity, sympathy and humanness. "in his enthusiasm Tolstoi call him "the miniature Christ." He wa the people's own. the anointed of hi race, who introduced the new democ racy. Modern America begins with him. He Is Ini-piration for men th world around. From that sad. bu prayerful heart issued a stream sympathy for suffering humanity. The light of God which shines through this man makes clear the pathway for governments and men. Righteousness and justice suffused by love Is the way to be sought in every sphere activity. When we have a democracy permeated with the divine light we hall have a progressive democracy, one making for a commonwealth the nations of the m-orld. To that day of freedom, justice and brotherhood Lincoln leads the way." V ......... . i" j 3 o c i e in N ews jj i M ADVEMTKOl'S LIFE IS TOPIC Inspiration Found In Services of Lincoln and IIoosotcH.

MaeHenry, pastor of ML Tabor Preshx terian church, in deliv ering his fifth anniversary sermon yesterday. His subject was "Salva tion in Terms of Adventure." The first of these men Is Abra ham Lincoln, looming In the thought of the civilized world as the most unique and wholesome person in American life unselfish. eager to give his all for his Ideals and in very real sense giving his life for his country: Lincoln by force of will and his mother's influences saved from ignorance and a small, wasted life for a splendid life of adventure, aw-rvtce and national leadership in a f rent crisis hour." said the pastor. "Then th.-re is Theodore Roosevelt. the very incarnation of a militant Christianity, di-llghting to preach "be ye doers of the word," going forth Into every arena with knightly seal to prtaoh clean politics, high ideals of citizenship to his fellow-citisens. and the peoples of the world: in the home life to stand for sane, old-fash loned. tested standards of beautiful, normal, unselfish living; In facing l.fe and death in the same high spirit all part of a great adventure.

The Oil of spiritual vision Is lacking n his vessel ai.d he becomes the crea ture of conventionality. "Another lamp which speedily ex pires is that carried by the individual who puts his trust in morality but repudiates religion. To be thoroughly moral a man must have the right in centives to morality and of all right Incentives there is none other to be compared with faith in a living God. Another lamp which falls because It has no oil is the elaborately dec orated lamp of sentlmentalism with out sacrifice. We must beware ot a sentlmentalism that Is unacquainted with sacrifice. Something stronger than rosewater Is needed for the dis eased tissue of our times. It is not the cross that is worn as an Orna ment, but the cross that Is lifted up in patient self-denial that does the worg. "A fourth lamp without on is tne delusive luminary of knowledge with out obedience. Theoretical religion has been popular In all ages. People have always found it easy to mistake words for works and to suosiituie creeds for deeds. The only faith that worth a moment's thought Is a working faith, one that gets into ac tion. When a man says that religion and business will not work well to gether, he has either a wrong orana of piety or a false conception or Busi ness. . "A fifth lamp without oil is me lamp of enthusiasm without con stancy. Let us not rorget mat perma nent progress is always tne result oi hat Derisistent righteousness wnicn keeps one true to duty from day to day and from week to week. In an age of moral upheaval, when earnest but misguided souls are iiguring uui he mathematics or tne miuemum. what we Tired is that quiet, steadfast rust which can not oe snagen d wars or rumors of wars, nor seduced visions of a milleniai vengeance which is diametrically opposea to tne message and spirit of the Christ.

"Jesus knew no color, no race, no rich, no poor, but measured men by heir characters," declared Dr. Thomas H. Gallagher, pastor of the Sunnyside Methodist Episcopal church, yester- ay morning in discussing 'leasur ng Men." The valuable and precious things of life are not on the surface," he said. "We first must establish a foundation of faith and courage. We must not live for ourselves alone. We need men today to follow Jesus" injunctions and live lifes that will br'ng to the world aboundant peace, gladness and glory. "In every city, csmmunity and na tion, there are always two kinds of men. One class does Just what so ciety requires of it to 'get by" and the other class goes beyond that, and writes itself Into the lives of others. "Many in colleges and high school are satisfied with passing examina tions and others strive to graduate with honor. These same two classes are found in the school of life. I urge you to sense the needs of civilization and society and live to supply those needs. "Society and civilization get In a rut. We should get away from the old beaten paths and venture Into new fields, for no well-beaten path leads to new worlds, new visions or new experiences." i : TIN Last Week We Startled the City With Our $1 Clothing Sale NOW WE ANNOUNCE THE Helps digestion and cleans a . coated tongue Thousands of men and women have found relief from Ttnocs digestive disturbances by eating Fleischmann'a Yeast.
