something
like this: A young man ran up

He said, "I have done It from my

Jesus loved him. and he said. "One thing
thou lackesL Sell all thou hast, and
come, follow me." "And he went away
sad at that saying, fur he had great
possessions."
Now I want you In the first place to
notice this young man had large pos
sessions. It Is a good thing to have
plenty of money. To have no anxiety
about your meals; nor about your
clothes; nor about your lodging; nor
about those who are near and dear to
you; to be able to travel first-class
and put up at the best hotels, and al
ways have enough money, and a little
to spare. It la a good thing for the
sake of other people. I read this even
ing In the I9th chapter of Job. where
Job says, "When I had riches I helped
the fatherless; I befriended the widow;
I waa aa eyes to the man who was
blind; I was aa feet to the man who
was lame." It is a grand thing to be
able to give money to heip the famlne
strlcken in China; to give' money to
help little children get more enjoyment
out or life. It is a fine thing. I repeat,
to have plenty of money. And If a man
came honestly by his wealth it Is no
disgrace to he rich. And a man does
not necessarily go to hell because he
has money.
It Is a blessed thing when a man who
has money rightly uses It. Oh. how he
can 'bless those around him! It Is a
flnv thing to use money for the uplift
ing of the world, and the building up
of the Kingdom of CSod. liut you sadly
err, my brother, when you gauge a
man by the moner he has. "What Is
be worth?" we say. And the answer
comes. "He Is worth I J.ouo.oO')." A man
worth 0.ioo.00o: Ild you ever see htm?
Take everything he has away from htm.
and Is he worth S.Ooo.000? You say as
you point to some men. "There Is a
made man. Who made him? "Why.
Ms money." Then he would be unmade
If he lost his money? You can't gauge
a man by the amount of money that he
possesses. It Is not so much the girth
of your pocket book as the girth of your
head, and the girth of your heart, and
the girth of your sympathy, and the
girth of your faith in Uod that telta.
Talk about a man losing -much when he
loses his money! The man has lost noth
ing. The cash has gone; but all the
man that was there before Is there now.
Am I talking to somehodv that has
dropped down the financial ladder?
Well. I am very glad to say to you
there was J'ist as much manhood to
you If you retained your Integrity and
your righteousness when you struck

so many houses; so many different
kinds of stock: and If yon go to work

never think about their poseaslons at
all, and we don't say they are rich

a man; and forget the little fact that
he happens to possess a lot of money.
It Is a great thing when a great man
has great possessions. What Port
land needs la a number of great men
who are great enough to rightly use
great possessions. All the same
It Is an awful thing when little men
have grest possessions. You have some
of them in Portland, petty little beg
gars with great possessions. I heard
one of them the other day. Talking
about a good thing a thing that la
righteous he said. "I'll crush that. If
It oosts me 110.000." The little man
with his lot of money plague on him
he Is nothing but a curse. It Is a
bad thing when a email man has sway
over great possessions.
This man's great possessions ruined
him. He might have been a Peter, or a
John, or a Paul, but he turned away
from Christ to his great possession.
I only speak for myself when I assert
that most of the men I have known
who had great possessions would have
been bigger men If their possessions
had not been so large.
But he had great possessions of a
higher order than mere money, land
and nouses, for he had respect for
goodness. Now listen, for we are get
ting nearer home. He saw that Jesus
Christ had not $5 in cash! But he was
a multi-millionaire In character. And
so he. the rich man. went to Christ,
who was the poor man. and he said:
"Oood master. I could outbid you on a
piece of Palestine property but you
are my master because you have the
colossal goodness." And further he
had admiration for Jesus Christ. I
don't know how he came Into posses
sion of It. Perhaps on the fringe of
the multitude he had listened to the
wonderful talking of the Son of Man.
Perhaps he had watched that lire
month after month until he had fallen
In love with the friend of sinners. He
appreciated and admired Jesus Christ,
as do all thoughtful men today. Fur
ther yet. he had good desires. He said.
"Good master, what shall I do to In
herit eternal life?" He wanted not
more of the life that now is, but he
wanted the life to come the eternal
life. And. further yet, he had great
Insight. Our Lord drew a picture of a
rich fool one day. and that rich fool
said. "Soul, thou hast much goods laid
up for manv years, eat, drink and be
merry." Jesus did not call this young
man a fool. For this young ruler was
not stupid enough to say to his soul,
"Eat, drink, and be merry." But rather
he heeded his soul when It cried out
for the eternal life that could only
come from od. And he hed earnest
ness, too. He came running to Jesua
Christ. And he had reverence, for he

knelt at the feet of the Son of God, re
gardless of the people standing by.
And he had an eye to the future. He
said. "Some day I shall go where this
cash ia not currency and will be no
good. What have I got for that new
country" Some day. he thought, all
these possessions will drop off and I
shall stand out In the presence of the
great God. What have I to take with
me Into the eternal silence? And I
know he had a good home, because he
said to Jesus. "All the commandments
have I kept from my youth." And no
boy ever did that In a bad home. And
he had morality. "Every command
ment." he said to the Son of God. "I
have kept." There la not a man In
this house tonight can say that. And
he had the love of Jesus Christ, for
that narrative says, "And Jesus, look
ing upon him. loved him." Oh, what
great possessions he had!
And yet he lacked one thing. Friends,
let us spend five minutes trying to
think out what he lacked. What did
he lack? Well, seemingly he lacked
satisfaction. He had enough to eat,
enough to drink, enough to wear.
Great possessions! But they didn't
satisfy him. Did you ever see any
body who was satisfied with great pos
sessions? You never did. because when
a man gets where he Is satisfied with
mere things the man hse got so small
you cannot see him with the naked
eye any more. He lacked satisfaction.
So do we. For God has built the hu
man soul on such huge proportions.
mai mere is not satisfaction for It
In all the world. As Solomon put It
three mlllenlums ago: "Thou hast put
eternity in their heart." And we can
never be satisfied with things of time.
And I think he lacked trelf denial.
Here he stands the rich young man
palatial was his home; costly his ap
parel; choice bis food; servants to at
tend to his every want; carriages to
convey him wherever he wished to go.
And Jesus says. "Surrender It all, and
come and walk the dusty road with
me and my dleclples. Sleep under a
loaned roof. Sleep under no roof but
God s aome nights." And his pampered
body said, you cannot stand that; and
this old self, that is just as bad In ua
as In him, cried out. "No, no." He
lacked aelf denial.
And I think he lacked faith. I think
he used his eyes too much and his soul
too little. Let It all got It looked so
big then. It never looked so big be
fore. Sacrifice my home, turn my
back on all those familiar old sur
roundings, become a mendicant, a fol
lower of the Nasarene! It looked risky
and I for one don't wonder tha his
faith failed In the test.
But I know he lacked thla one
thing. The others I was not sure of.
But I know he lacked loving loyalty
to Jesua Christ. For I have head In
this Bible of a woman who had got a
costly ointment, laid up- against her
burlaL And one day Jesus went to
her house and she brought out the
spikenard and anointed the Son of
God with It. And the woman was
only sorry that It was not worth more,
because love loves to give! He lacked
loving loyalty to Jeaua Christ.
And my heart aches when I remem
ber how he went away sorrowful. He
went away with the love of Jesus
Christ following him; and his lacking
one thing was his ruin. Oh. how the
angels must have rejoiced when they
saw that young man going up to
Christ, actually running. kneeling
down there on the dusty roadside and
crying out, "Good Master, what shall
I do to Inherit eternal life?" How the
angels must have rejoiced over him
then. But I wonder what they
thought when he went away sorrow
fully to his great possessions; cursed
In the midst of many things because
he lacked one thing. A scientist,
who could talk eight languages, was
fishing In a little mUlpond. The raft
on which he stood fell to pieces. He
fell Into the water, away from a sin
gle floating stick. He knew eight
languages. He could call for help In
eight languages. He had many pos
sessions, but he didn't know how to
swim, and he died In that mlllpond.
The lacking of one thing was fatal
to the scientist.
And this brings me to talk to a
class of people that get less talking
to than anybody else in the world. You
are like this young man. You never
thought It essential that you should
sow wild oats. Thsnk God that you
didn't. Yon could stand up tonight
and say, "I do not lie; I do not swear:
nor drink; nor gamble; and I am clean
and unashamed to look all Portland
in the eyes. You are like this young
man. You have respect for goodness:
you appreciate Christ; you have good
desires: you are honeat and reverential
and think about the future; and you
know Christ Is God; and you know he
is your Master: and you want eternal
life: and vou had a good home; and
you have been moral: and Christ loves
you! And- yet through the lack of lov
ing loyalty to Jesus Christ you may
go off Into the doom of the open trans
gressor of the laws of God and man.
O. I am hapry tonight to know that I
have got a text and a sermon appllca
cable to 90 per cent of the people lis
tening to me. Here Is your warning,
my friend. If I stood and thundered
about the hell of the drunkard, you
would say. "It has nothing to do with
me. I am no drunkard." If I stood
here and read the crimes for which
men go In the penitentiary, you would
say, he is wasting time, for we are not
criminals. But now I have got you.
Here Is a man appreciative of the
good; an admirer of Christ; who
knows how to pray to Christ; who de
sires eternal life; who says the Mas
ter Is good and the grood one Is the
Master; who came Out of a good home;
of good stock; and had good morals.
And yet this man duplicating you
went away sorrowfully to his great
possessions, and grieved the heart of
Jesua Christ. O. men and women,
you are ao near aalvatlon tonight that
my heart hungera to see you get It.
Why don't you take the next atep and
enter the kingdom? Aa near Christ
are vou as that young man. And he
looks at you and sees In you so much
to love. You have reached your cri
sis. What will you do now? Will
you go away from him and keep on
going away and away for all eternity?

Lincoln Congressional Term
But little Known
Later Record of Great Fmanelpator
Overshadows Brief Time He Waa
Representative -I.afferty Write
of Life.
BY A. WALTER LAFFERTY. M. C.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN served one
term In Congress. He was elected
In 14S. He waa then 37 years
old. 'He had previously served In the
Illinois Legislature. After serving one
term of two years In the lower House
of Congress, "Lincoln retired to private
life, and held no other office until
elected President 11 years later.
Everyone Is presumed to know the
foregoing facts, but they don't. The
writer Is free to confess that he did not
know that Lincoln ever served in the
House of Representatives until he read
the statement In a Lincoln history late
ly. That many others are equally Igno
rant was made manifest a few days
ago when a number of Representatives
discussed the subject. Some thought
Lincoln served In the Senate, which he
never did. Others thought he served
In the lower House -two terms. Still
others, as well as the writer, were Ig
norant of the fact that he had ever
served in Congress at all.
Speech Meet Disfavor. -
Lincoln was not a great success as a
Congressman.' His principal speech
waa In opposition to the Mexican War.
and that made him unpopular with his
home folks. He was not renominated
In 1848. The-year 1848 was a Presi
dential year and General Zachary Tay
lor, the hero of the Mexican War, was
the Whig nominee -for President. While
Lincoln had made a speech In Congress
opposing the Mexican War, he loyally
supported General Taylor for the Pres
idency. Lincoln was retiring from Congress
In March 184S. at the time President
Taylor was entering upon the duties of
his office. The President at that time
offered Lincoln an appointment as
Secretary of the territory of Oregon.
Lincoln wanted to accept, but his wife
declined "to go that far West." There
upon Lincoln asked to be appointed
Commissioner of the General Land Of
fice, but that place had been promised
to another.
Under these circumstances Lincoln
retired to the private practice of law
in Illinois In the Spring of 1849. Who
then supposed that the Congressman
who had failed would return again to
Washington In 11 years as President
of the United States. It is safe to say
that no one, not even Lincoln, contem
plated such a thing.
Senate His Ambition.
But all the circumstances go to show
that Lincoln decided that if he should
ever run for office again that It would
be for the United States Senate. He no
doubt rode the circuit with Judge
Davis, constantly nourishing the hope
that some day he would live down his
failure as a Congressman, and that he
could then be elected to the Senate.
His political ambitions were no doubt
set upon that one goal.
When the opportunity came In 1858
for Lincoln to go Into the field against
Stephen A. Douglass for the popular In
dorsement of the people of Illinois for
the United States Senatorshlp, he did
so.
His campaign was one of the great
est ever made 1 nthls country. He was
a homely lawyer.' Douglass waa a pol
ished orator, and recognized as one of
the greatest men in the United States.
But this appeared to Lincoln as his
only chance to be elected to the Sen
ate and he made the one great effort
of his life. He beat Douglass by 4000
votes, but the Legislature. In the face
of the popular vote, went ahead and
elected Douglass.
However. Lincoln's debates with
Douglass had brought to the attention
of the country the fact that he hsd
grown into sn intellectual giant and
that he was of Presidential stature.
Thus, while Lincoln failed to realize
the ambition that he had probably long
cherished to be elected Senator, he
was chosen to the higher office of Pres
ident and became immortal.

All think their tittle set mankind."

Nature Sketches In Temperate America, by
Ir Joseph Lane Hancock. Illustrated.
82.75. A. C. McClurg & Co.. Chicago.
At the outset. It may be stated that
the author of this learned exposition of
the seeming intricacies of animal and
vegetable life, is a Chicago physician
who has devoted many years to re
search work, is an Investigator of rec
ognized standing among biologists, a
member of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, the
Illinois Academy of Science and
the Chicago and National Geographical
Societies. In addition, he is a fellow
of the Entomological Society of Eng
land. Therefore, he Is qualified to
write such a guide book as this which,
on a popular basis, is a word -lamp for
the lover of outdoor life, and can also
be adapted as a text for school or col
lege students of natural history and
biology.
The pages number 451, the Index is a
complete and convenient one, and there
are 116 original illustrations in the
text, and one dozen colored plates by
the author. The expression "temper
ate zone" at once attracts the eye and
makes one curious to dip into the book.
A message on the title page says: "A
series of sketches and a popular ac
count of Insects, birds and plants
treated from some aspects of their evo
lution and ecological relations." The
message of the book has both artistic
and aesthetic beauty, and a reading of
It will make the novice In such mat
ters recognize as friends many birds,
plants, etc., that have been passed pre
viously as strangers. One suggestive
quotation Is given from Bryant's "En
trance to a Wood." "Stranger If thou
has learned a truth which needs no
school of long experience, that the
world Is full of guilt and misery, and
hast seon enough of all Its sorrows,
crimes and cares, to tire thee or it,
enter this wild wood and view the
haunts of Nature." Above this quota
tion is a well-executed drawing of a
leafy carpet and waving trees.
More space Is given to Insects than
to other groups of animals, because
Dr. Hancock remembers that more rep
resentatives of these animals people the
earth, as compared with other families
of animals. The Information now given
has been evolved and gathered during
many walks Afield for years, especially
from diary notes made at Lakeside,
Bovlen County. Mich. In short, the
work has seven branches: Evolution
and natural selection; adaptions In ani
mals and plants, with examples; pro
tective resemblance; mimicry; warning
colors, terrifying markings, and other
protective oevlces; animal behavior;
general observations and sketches
afield, and ecology Interpretation of
environment as . exemplified In the
orphoptera.
One captious critic may say that any
plan by which a learner can become
more Intimately acquainted with the
wonders of the insect world, means
travel and that travel means expense.
The truth Is, these natural wonders are
at our doors, beneath our feet. Read
what our author says concerning Na
ture's laboratory: "The great labor
atory of Nature is always open to the
interested observer. On the other hand,
we see the effect on animal and plant
life from the downpouring rain in
Summer, the effect of hail, wind, sud
den lowering or elevation of tempera
ture, and finally the effect of sunlight
and shadow. On the other hand, these
physical forces are seen operating every
moment of time over the face of the
earth, exercising a powerful Influence
now, as they doubtless have In the
past, over organic life. Those facts tell
us that the inter-relation and inter
dependence between organic life and
the relation to their environment, are
forever seeking adjustment. We note
that the destruction of a large num
ber of one form of life may disarrange
the adjustment of the whole interlacing
series in a given locality, because of
the dependence or predaceousness ol
one form upon another. The same is
true as to the effect of a sudden
shower In Summer, which may cause
the death of thousands of insects, to
say nothing of the occasional destruc
tion caused in other groups of animals.
Millions of small land animals suffer
destruction during every hall storm In
Summer, and although these hall
storms are quite local, the effect Is
nevertheless one that Influences the
future generations and It may change
the whole lnter-related system of life
adjustments."
No play upon words, for mere effect.

California Under Spain and Mexico, 1585-
1847. by Irvine Berdine Richman. M.
Houghton, Mifflin Co., Boston.
Americans are familiar with his
torical occurrences that have their
being around the Atlantic coast, be
cause our population first and largely
settled there. On the same ratio, they
are more or less uninformed regarding
history affecting the coastline of the
Pacific Ocean, and the present oppor
tunity as given in this book to know
more about our neighboring state
should be fully taken advantage of. i
"California Under Spain and Mei
lce," Is marked by great research,
graphic description, a due sense of
proportion and patriotic appreciation
of such an Important subject. Its mes
sage is based on original sources,
chiefly manuscript, in the Spanish and
Mexican archives and other reposito
ries, and Is made more valuable by
maps, many of which have never been
previously published. Several of the
older maps are so ignorant as to lo
calities that they are laughable. Pos
sibly the most interesting of these
maps, an original compilation, shows
22 important Spanish and American
trails which affected California from
the years 1694 to 1849.
It is stated that Mr. Richman has
made exhaustive researches in the
original manuscripts which are only
to be found among the archives of
Spain at Madrid and Seville, and the
archives of Mexico at Mexico City, all
of which makes his work the first
authoritative history of California.
The narrative begins with a sketch
of California physiography; then gives
an account of the galleon trade on the
Pacific Ocean, with its vicissitudes of
peril from tempests and from war with
the Dutch and English. Chapter 3
outlines the rise of the institution of
the mission. Chapter 4 tells of ex
plorations by the distinguished Jesuit,
Kusebio Francisco Kino. Chapter B
presents from an entirely different
viewpoint the expedition of Jose de
Galvez in 1769, known as the Portola
expedition. Chapter 6 deals with the
great expeditions of Juan Bauttsta de
Anza In 1774 and 1775-78, which re
sulted in the founding of San Fran
cisco. Later chapters unfold events in the
Mexico regime, and finally there is
given a concise account of the whole
Western movement for the occupation
of California from the United States,
with new light upon the career and
motives of John C. Fremont.
Among special topics considered are
"The Origin and Application of the
name California"; "The Probability of
a Discovery of Monterey Ba3' Antedat
ing that of Sebastian Vincaino In
1602"; and "The Significance of Such
Spanish Institutions as the Custodla
and Intendencia." "Secularization"
(1822-1847) is presented in tabulated
form, rendering the movement more

Written for the thoughtful, this es
timate of Nietzsche, the great Socialist,
is a literary presentation of excellence
and marked by critical yet appreciative
acumen. Nietzsche Is spoken of as "the

Already half a dozen well-known Eng

courage of their ideas to Nietzsche."
It Is stated that Nietzsche's answer
was to the old Greek cry. how life may
be enabled to become more splendid,
more Dionysian: By making life more
tragic, by the enlarKement of the will
of man, by conflict with gods.
Poor Nietzsche! No wonder his brain
