IS THE SUNDAY- OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. MAT 28, 190o. The Four Watchwords of Manhood WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY OREGONIftN BY DR. NEWELL DWIGHT tflLLIS,OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH Text "Reaching forward." ""To be content." "Henceforth there is laid "up a crown." Phil. iv. HISTORY holds no example of hero ism comparable to Paul. If ever a patriot or leader had a right to depression, this hero had earned that right- He was lying: in the Memcrtine prison, tradition tells us, in the under ground tier of cells. The season, was "Winter, old age was upon him, and the future held one event that was certain death by the headsman's ax. During the previous Summer he had beon mobbed in Jerusalem, and after weeks of imprisonment, broken in health, crippled and worn to a shad ow, he was deported to Rome for trial. To all the discomforts involved in a long sea journey, in the ships of that time, was added the suffering involved in. shipwreck In the midst of "Winter. But for a man of the first order of greatness, emergency and peril are al ways opportunity. The lion-like cour age of this man brought him to the front, and when all was confusion, and there was no one to bring order out of chaos, the old prisoner, chained to his guard, was brought out of the chip's hold and exalted to the, position of authority on the captain's deck. But not less dramatic was the concluding oven In his career. Lying In his cell he welcomed cold, hunger, rags and chains, with the discomforts of "Win ter, as others welcome a "Winter's fire. Galileo, lying in his cell in Rome, was broken in courage. Cervantes sent forth from his' dungeon only bitter la ments, and even Bunyan in his jail In Bedford was often baffled and beaten. A Hero Indeed. But the brightest, cheeriest letter that Paul ever wrote was written in the darkest hour of his career, and this flower of literature' is like the night-blooming cereus, it blooms in the apostle's darkest night. If any mar asks for proofs of the divineness of Christianity, we point to the kind of man It produced. What weight of manhood! What superiority to cir cumstances! If for others death was the king of terrors, for Paul this king was bocomc the merest slave that serves to tho hero's will. In sheer weight of manhood the apostle stands forth unrivaled. Long, indeed, the list sf his achievements. He taught the statesman liberty and equality. He pointed the philosophers to the method of God's providence In history. He taught the men of culture the doctrine of reasonableness, sweetness and light. He gave the thinkers the world's greatest argument for immortality. From the point of view of perfect writ ing, his ode to love has the first place in literature. But as the sun is more than the sheaves it produces, so Paul the man is more than the deeds that he does. "What he was is more than what he taught. He showed all men the art of rising above circumstances, and how to redeem themselves out of discomfort Into hope and victory. So long as man remains mun, the name of this hero will be a veritable well spring of power and inspiration for the generations. A Unique Character. In order to appreciate his character we nfust stand afar off, for we need the perspective that is demanded by sotno historic elm or Charter Oak. For after all, the tree perhups the best symbol of Paul's character. His life is, indeed, rooted in the present and Is fed by today's events and opportuni ties. But his life is also like the tree, in that it hus :i thousand roots and filaments, stretching backward into the past. The roots concealed beneuth the ground are the explanation of the great boughs above. But the growing tree is not contont with its past; stripped of its leaves in November, it makes ready for new growths and soon pushes out new stems and branches. From above comes the real source of the life of the tree. Through the invisible energies of the cloud and sun the tree's secret life Is fed, and so jt fulfills is fourfold career. And Paul speaks of himself as rooted In love, as if his character were like unto a tree. He has a past, and that past is his, through retrospection. He has a great present, and he lives in that present through the principle of con tentment. The future also is his. made so by aspiration. But beyond this earthly realm Is the realm invisible, aud .that is his through the upward look, for he realizes that he is a work er with God. and from that divine as sociation borrows a si-nse of dignity and personal work. These, then, are the watchwords of his life. He looks backward, he looks forward, he looks outward, he looks upward. Thus his life grows rich and strong. Thus his character takes on tho beauty of the tree, or to change this figure, the majesty and dignity nnd glory of a temple. Backward Look of Retrospection. Paul's first watchword is "looking back ward." "What charactor Is today de pends upon many yesterdays. For char acter Is a growth. Like all other living organisms, it slowly builds Its life, cell by cell. Dead things do not grow; neith er rocks, nor clods; but living things grow seeds, and birds, and children. Now all growth asks for time. Large things can be suddenly destroyed, but living things are very slowlv grown. It takes 20 years to build the body for the youth, for the growing body will not be forced. It takes 20 years to ripen the mind and grow the intellect. For after fineness of quality, through culture, comes quantity, through accumulation. Character is like a granary. The measure of the granary is the number of sheaves whose treasure lies therein. Influence is like the river. The power of the river is determined by the number of brooks and rivulets that lie behind It. lending it depth and mo mentum. "We measure the scholar by the number of knowledges that he lias assem bled, knowledges that have at last become a part of his very structure. And char acter is compacted of many qualities, of wise thoughts, that have entered into the very structure of tho soul, as Iron enters into tho blood, good habits to control conduct.- pure affections, solemn prayers, and noble aspirations.' Every hour increases the . "sura total of the soul's pow er. .Every day Increases the mo mentum. It was said . of "Webster that by reason of his long public career and great influence, that at last his face took on a certain royal and kingly ex pression. He breathed and exhaled the sense of power. Lion-like courage had set its stamp upon the forehead. And this atmosphere o power that accompa nies a great man is at once the palladium and the proof of his manhood. Little wonder, therefore, that for Paul the past," with all Its rich yesterdays, meant much. The past was a library, and he turned its pages written over with the recoryd of good "deeds as one turns the pages of a book. Some of the pages were bright with the story of righteousness and ser vice of his fellows, and some of the pages were dark with the story of selfishness and sin. For yesterday held one dark deed for Paul. That deed sometimes made the past a place of I torment. It was a kind of Gehenna, it was a dun geon where he gasped for breath. It was a desert where he choked with dirt, It was a solitary rock in an ocean, where he was exiled and friendless. In the hours where he was touched by the old memory of his sin. he understoo'd the sorrows of Prometheus, chained to his rock. But Paul had repented of- that sin, of persecu tion, reacting from It he hated his crime, and kneeling he had found his Father's forgiveness. Recently I saw a crossbow of the olden times. The bow Itself was made of steel, the barrel was polished metal, tho feathered arrow was of steel most exquisitely traced, and two men put all their strength upon the strain, bringing It to its place. But- when the cord was released, the bow, with the strength of two men, sprang back, hurling the arrow forward," with the strength of these two men. And with all the en thusiasm of great natural gifts, Paul threw himself Into the task of persecu tion. But In the rebound and sorrow for his sin, reacting, he threw himself toward righteousness. The very intensity of his wrong was changed in the Intensity of purpose toward right. Strange alchemy of the great God, who In his mercy brlng eth good out of evil, and changeth dross to gold. Contentment in the Present. Paul's second watchword is contentment with his present. He counted this state of mind a condition precedent to all good work. Discontent disturbs the reason and weakens the arm. Contentment means frlctldnlcsa activity. It allays fe ver. It produces heat. It lends good cheer. It sots the soul free from anxiety and torment. "When men arc discontented with their task and rebel against their circumstances, the disposition Is soured, the day arc filled with bitterness, and a black shadow falls acroas the heart. But let no man mistake Paul's definition of contentment. When he says that he has learned how to be full and. how to be hungry, how to abound and how to suffer need, he docs not refer to a contentment .that Is ignoble and unworthy a man. He is not a slave content with his fetters. He Is not a serf content with any crust that his lord Is willing to give him. He Is not a youth fully conscious of Ignorance, of a narrow lot, "cribbed, cabined aud confined," not like the beast of the field, accepting whatsoever Is without attempt ing to make it better. Contrariwise, never man lived who glowed and throbbed with a discontent over conditions that could be changed as did Paul. Had he found him self in a peasant's hut he would have climbed the highest hilltop and strained his- eyes beyond the horizon, and never rested until he had searched out every secret beyond the horizon of land and sea. Indeed, his life and teachings are crowded with incitements to enterprise and ambition. He wishes the ignorant youth to become a scholar, expecting the slave to climb to the level of the noblest citizen. He wishes the Master to widen his conception of opportunity, and to ajrvc the poor and weak. He appeals to men to bestir themselves. He Incites them to zeal for the hardest tasks. If he had been a soldier, "Paul would have said "Let me lead the charge." If the night were dark, he would have said "Let me stand on the picket line." If some deadly epidemic had overtaken the hospital, he would have asked to'be sent as nurse to a post of danger which no one else jvould rjsk. "With him difficulty was opportunity. Once the most perilous place swept with weapons was revealed, Paul would have rushed to that exposed spot. If he fell, he died doing what was worth while his duty. If he survived, he forgot the heroic deed and tomorrow would offer another opportunity for an enterprise even more valorous. And by his example he re vealed to the generations the power thoro is in the soul for meeting great emer gencies. How many men. imitating Paul, have boldly fronted their danger, and, having met and vanquished the (jnemy, exclaimed "I did not know it was In me." Strange, the power of the soul to rise above all the besetmcnts and perils of life. History teems with examples of the principle. "When the Huguenots were ex iled after the massacre of St. Bartholo mew, patrician women, most tender and deHcate, took a pack upon the shoulder and tramped through rain and snow, hun dreds of miles, to foreign cities. "When Lincoln called for troops, the colleges were emptied of their students, mere boys. But if the workmen, accustomed to physical toll, went dotvn In the first few months of exposure, these college boys, by reason of their mental traits and spiritual forces, survived all the shock of battle and peril of exposure Shields of iron are not so useful as the shield named courage and fearlessness. A sinewy will Is worth a dozen swords in the hour of battle. Thrust a stick of steel into a Jar filled with oxygen and the oxygen cats the steel, while ten thousand sparks fly, as a soldier would eat a stick of candy. And Paul fed his heart on difficulties, and he exclaimed: "Give me the hardest place, load me with troubles, focalize all wea pons upon my breast, feed me with viands or take away all and give me only a crust; give me the library or take It away, and give me the dungeon; only never take away thy presence. Lord, and with thee I can be content." "What a watchword is this! Contentment in the present. 'Little wonder that Paul's name has become a source of inspiration to all knightly souls. Aspiration and tho Future. Bpt the great heart and the strong life do not simply represent many noble yesterdays, preserved by retrospection, a great present, rightly ueed and controlled by contentment, but also asks for the aspiration that enterprises Into the un known future.

He also has a hungry heart, feeding on righteousness and thirsting for virtue,, as the hart thirsts for the water brooks. He Is fully consclous of the good he is and the good he has done, but in contrast he looks away from himself towards the divine life and character that Chrtet would have him to be. Not coHtent with drifting, he plans new and better achievements. Dreaming he builds castles in the air; only those dreams represent sympathy for his fellows and deeds of noble serv ice. He Is largely the child of rcvery. His spirit ranges everywhither, searching out the woes and sorrows of mankind and planning their redemption. He sees the evil spot la a law and wishes to correct the Institution. He detects the peril in the government and wishes to strengthen tho Institution that is unequal to the strain. And these aspiring "hours are the hours when the man lives. These divine" aspirations enrich the life as the clouds In the sky send forth their dew and rain upon the moist furrows for harvest mak ing. In these hours of spiritual intensity and revcry and prayer and aspiration, what battles soldiers have fought. What reforms statesmen have ushered In. What speeches orators have made. What so cial injustice has been corrected by the philanthropist. What, evenings of hap piness the mother has brought to hus band and -children. ' These arc the trans figuration hours of life. Then the -soul climbs to the very top of the mountains. Then God stands, not within the shadow, but the Divine One is an angel standing in the sun, fully revealed. Oh, all ye young men, content with your games on Saturday, your golf and your riding, con tent with a second-rate novel In the evening, content with a little music and a little art, you with your superficial cul ture, waken to the future that Is yours. Pray for a great discontent. Pray for the hungry mind that will not be fed by anything short of the wisest books of the greatest thinkers. Pray for the hun ger for the beautiful that will make you thirst for the loveliness of the greatest artists, but .pray for. tho love of your fel lows. Nourish, your enthusiasm for men until It becomes a passion. Fourth "Watchword The "Upward Look. But Paul's fourth watchword was the upward look that Is given in his much lovcd expression, workers- together with God. He was in the habit of associating each deed with God. Perhaps no other man in history has had such a sense of God's presence In events. He opened his heart to God as the young leaf unrolls its face to the sunshine. He looked over the city, with Its streets and homes and hearts; the harbor crowded with ships, and he saw the presence of God brood ing over all as the sky overarches the earth, as the clouds brood over the moist field. Back of all the movements of war and peace, back of all the growing of har vests and sailing of ships, back of the rise of cities and empires, and the fall ..thereof, he saw the purpose of God. AH things, were working together for good, no matter how rebellious, even bad "men who are scourged Into line, willingly or unwillingly, consciously or unconsciously. $65.00 Genuine Leather Couch Only 'This is not a fabricord leather, but the genuine article that sells every where, on the Coast for from $65.00 to $70.00.

THE STORE 173-175 FIRST STREET they had to serve God's purpose If with humble and obedient heart one man tolled, God used him as an example and inspira tion. And if another, was stiff-necked and rebellious, and sold his life into Bin. then God made the memory of tho wicked to rot, and used the man for warning and alarm. Paul felt that neither life nor death, nor angel? nor principalities nor powers could cut the golden cord that binds every life to God. So he became .a worker with God. He tried to bring every thought and every motive and purpose into subjection to his Father's will. All his days were deluged with the divineness of God's presence.' Lying on his pallet of straw In his. garret, or sleeping beside the drunken soldier In the dungeon, Paul felt his Master's presence, and knew that he was working with God. That thought gave unity to his life. It marshaled all his hours into regiments. It made the days march forward in solid columns. It gave the minutes of a year the converg ing accumulated power of an army. The thought. God wants me here, God sent this soldier or gladiator to me for a message. God gave me this silent week In the dungeon that I might reflect and write out my thoughts and send them to Timothy or the church at Philiippl. the thought that God wants me to work with him In this hour of emergency. These thoughts put him at his best, made his heart burn with gladness. Ah, at what price would one not estimate such a sense of partnership with God! What would not one give to have been an amanuensis for Homer. At what sum o gold would one estimate the opportunity of being an assistant to Cromwell In his great work. XJttle wonder that young artists In the Middle Ages competed with one another for the honor of being an assistant to the architect or the painter who was dec orating some great chapel. Strength Through Companionship. The mere thought that the soul Is work ing with God lends refinement to the rea son and braces the will. In the decora tion of St, Peter's there was much work that was very humble. Out of hundreds and even thousands of artists to one Js committed a very - obscure task. He k Is told to paint a canvas for some narrow panel between two columns. , It is In the shadow; few will see the work; but the youth goes home to do his work faithful ly. He grinds his paints with the utmost care. He prepares the wall, that the siz ing may be perfect, and that the quick lime will not consume the color; he out lines his figures with endless detail. At I last bis work is done, and the canvas is completed ana in its place. Then the years come and go, and he is swept Into a foreign land, but at length returns to his old home, to worship in the old church, and finds that in bis absence the cathe dral has been completed and the work that he thought to be in so humble a place is elevated to a place of greatdlg nlty. With overflowing eyes, ho rejoices that such a task was committed to him. He comforts his heart with the thought of the generations that flow Into the ca thedral and -out again, and the face of his aagcl shall berrow hope.
