MOSES, SERVANT OF GOD, THE LEADER
Sermon Preached From the White Temple Pulpit by Walter Benwell Hinson, Minister.
BY WALTER BENWELL HINSON.
IT was In the lone land of Mldlan
that Moses saw the bush on Are. and
wnndTlng that like truth In error's
grasp. It still was unconsumed. he
turned aside to see the strange sight.
It Is In loneliness that we learn to
be reverential, and minus reverence
there can be no true greatness, no re
llglon at all. and though at times we
must descend Into the hurly-burly of
strife, we will not abide there; but
climb out from tha. dark depths to
where we can breathe a larger air and
ee a broader sky- As Wentworth long

Truly hla eyea are faulty who be
holds a Godless bush, for God Is In the
maple when Its red buds glow with a
crimson flush ere bursting Into leaf; In
the Illae when Its fragrant blossoms
bang thickly on the green boughs: In
the apple aa It wears Its pink raiment
In honor of Sprlnic a wedding Summer;
and In all these fair sights we ought to
ee the burning radiance of God.
How manifestly and gloriously God 1
present In the things we think of aa
being common and insignificant. Ah.
he Is with us all. as heaven Is above
us all: and Is Interested In ant and
angel: In songbird and seraph. He baa
the true majesty which can afford to
stoop. He lacks the pettiness that is
afraid of condescension. And as all
melody Is In the nine notes of music,
or all literature Is In the alphabet, so
In a. common spruce tree. If rightly
viewed, may be found the reat God,
with his atmosphere and sunshine, with
his wind and world. And God la equally
In the acorn and the oak: In the beech
mast and the forest: In the sod and the
sky. For there are no tritlea. The
'dashing of the tiniest wave one Inch
higher on the shingle demands an al
teration of the world's laws: and would
make otherwise all past, present and to
come. Not a sparrow falls without
God's notice: and the hairs of your
bead are numbered. Oh that we could
see things as they are. for then, with
Emerson, we should know
Thara Is no srt and small
To Cod who mmketb all.
And God Is in the unlikely places and
things. To build a church is not to
enclose God with the Bible and the or
gan, to be visited once a week. Ah.
no! He dwells not In temples made
with bands. He Is universal as sun
shine, unbounded as thought. Intangible
aa spirit. And the whole world, with
Its skies and atars. Its sees and storms.
Its mighty hills, and rolling plains and
danse woods, is but the robe the Deity
wears to conceal the bllndtnr effulgence
af his great glrr. For as Pavid says,
the wr-nla world Is but the garment of

But alas. In these days we Judge
by strength, by else, by sight, rather
than by sense, and spirit: and whereas
the Tishblte found God In the still

him only In the rushing storm or shud

And Moses turned aside to see the
sight. How true Is Inspiration. For
we must all turn aside or lose the
sights that would make us better for
gaalng at them. You must turn aside
from the seething strife and festering
broils of men; from all mean pursuits
and lgnobie alms. If you would see God
or Nsture as they really are. Turn
aside, Moaes. now and then, for as God
be true, shepherding Is not all of life,
and men cannot live by bread alone.
From llldlan's desert Moaes returned

goes to emancipate a nation and slay
a King. How great the change; from
the sheepfold to the palaoe; from si
lence and solitude to utterance and
throng. Rut so It Is In all lite. The
stream glides smoothly o'er Its sandy
bed. and no rise or fall, rock or bough
provokes a ripple or an eddy: and then
It dashes down the slope wtth Infinite
rush and tumult, the white foam be
tokening Its madness. In the morn

powers and dared ail gods; but at night
beneath the juniper, he felt the cow

praise; but even while he sings, the
proud waters rush o'er his soul, and
he sinks In deep mire where there Is
no standing. The world cries. "Ho
anna." on Thursday; and with as
much earnestness on Friday shrieks.
"Crucify." Today It wreaths your
brows with kingly gold: tomorrow,
with thorns cursed and cruel; today It
flatters. tomorrow frowns: today
blesses, tomorrow curses; exalts to
heavens, thrusts to bell. So be not
elate with pride by the pressure of
this world's hand: for today we are
deified, and tomorrow condemned.
And this element of change It Is that

your ship has been storm rocked; till
your life baa been torn and desolated;
and then I'll sit In Judgment. The

Moses returns to Egypt to prove him
self more than a match for Pharaoh's
army. For he la In the right, and the
hosta of Egypt are wrong. "Lesson we
must all learn. That fate Is the scythe
before which the grass of fiction falls;
that sham will not avail us when the
crisis comes: that appearance, gilt and
painted, plunge downward: that a
shepherd In the right, with God beside
him. Is stronger than all potentates
and principalities; for right is omnip
otent and everlasting, and God mul
titudinous above the teeming nations
of tl.o world. And force before truth
Is evanescent aa now when the south
wind blows; and might wrestling with
right is aa smoke In the hurricane's
grip. And there is no strength In
numbers if we lack the truth, and no
security In the refuge whose founda
tion is a fraud. And Savonarola was
stronger than Florence; Luther strong
er than papacy; Garibaldi stronger
than Rome: Lincoln stronger than
Southern Confederacy; for the simple
reason that right Is heavier than
wrpng. And today drunkenness shuns
prohibition, and feudalism shuns free
thought, on the same ground that
darkness shuns the light. Let us un
ceasingly assert that as anvil outlasts
the hammer, aa Nature Is constant
amid all art's changes, so the-truth is
stronger than the world's life. "Can
Jewish Jehovah prevail where Egyptian
gods were powerless?" sneerlngly asked

"Who la your Lord?" was the scorn
ful answer of Pharaoh, monarch of the
Nile; but when tha glassy walls of the
Red Sea fell flat, and the water's roar
and rush mingled with the shrieks
and curses of Egypt's soldiery, then
was the doomed king's question hor
ribly answered. Herod of Palestine
flung down his gauntlet before the God
of Heaven. For a while the challenge
was unaccepted, for the gods are in
no baste. And James died, and Peter
was Imprisoned, and the church dis
mayed. And Herod donned royal robe
and made the glittering oration, and
was loudly cheered. But Just then
truth stepped forth, picked up the
gauntlet, hurled It In the scornful mon
arch's face and he was eaten of worms
and died. "I'm making a coffin for

Paul Elder A Co.. San Franolsco. Cal.
Suppose that you were of a lonesome
disposition, found difficulty In making
new friends, and suffered the loss by
death of some dear relative who was
your constant companion and dearer
to you than- all the world to whom
would you go for comfort?
To other relatives or friends? Ah
but they are not the game. In the first
agony of such a grief, yiur sonow
would probably be such a personal
one that It would approach the selfish,
and Almighty God might seem far
away. You would want to touch game
thing earthly, something human, some
thing abiding. Humans change or are
as changeable as the winds that blow,
have their own Intimates In whom they
are wrapped up, and they are only po
litely Interested in you. Dogs ara faith
ful and true, but their lives are short
and they can't express Ideas except
through the love that shines in their
eloquent eyes.
What solace Is there, then?
Good books'. That Is the counsel of
fered In this book by George Hamlin
Fitch, who for upwards of SO years has
been the literary editar and book re
viewer of the San Frnncisco Chronlcie,
and who recently suffered the lo.a by
death of his only son. Harol.l. Here
1 our Burner's personal story of his
loss: "Cut off, as I have b';en from 2o
mestlc life, without a home for over
1.: years, my relations with my son
Harold were not those of the stern
parent and the timid on. Rather it
was the relation of tider brother and
younger brother. Our tastes were of
wide range, for we enjoyed with equal
relish Mascagnl'a 'Cavalleris led by
the? composer himself, or a champion
sh'p prizefight, Margaret Anglln s som
ber but appealing Antigone, or a funny
'stunt' at the Orphetim. Harold's full
young life was also atrongly colored by
his close newspaper associations. . .
Hence, when only 10 days ago, tnls
close and tender association of many
years was broken by desth swift and
wholly unexpected, as a bolt from
cloudless skies It seemed to be for
a few hours as If ths keystone of the
arch of my le had fall-n and every
thing lay heaped in ugly ruin. I had
waited for htm on that Friday after
noon until 6 o'clock. Friday Is my
day off. my one holiday In a week of
hard work, when my son always dined
with me and then accompanied me to
the theater or other entertainment.
When he did not appear at o'c.ock
in the evening. I left a note saying
I bad gone to our usual restiurant.
That dinner I ate alone. When I re
turned in an hour. It was to be met
with the news that Harold lay cold in
death at tne very time I wrote the note
that his eyes could never see.

armed against the worst blows that fate
may deal you In this world. . . . No
literary skill can bind up the broken-hearted;
no beauty of phrase satlufy the soul
that is torn by grief. No. When our, house
Is In mourning we turn to the Bible tlirt
that fount of wisdom and comfort which
never falls him who comes to It with clean
hands and a contrite heart. It Is the medi
cine of life. And after It come the great
books written by thoe who have walked
through the valley of the shadow, yet have
come out sweet and wholesome, with words
of wisdom and counsel for the afflicted. One
book through which beats the great heart
of a man wno has suffered yet grew strong
under the lash of fate. Is worth more than
a thousand books that teach no real leseon
of life, that are as broken cisterns holding
no water, when the soul la sthirst and cries
out for refreshment.

In several respects, volume ten of
this work Is the most important of the
series of one dozen volumes, insofar
as these have been issued, because of
wealth of subject matter, as the topics
are treated In alphabetical order. In
volume 10, the topics number 695, the
collaborators 194 and pages 617, the
range of subjects being from "Reusch"
to "Son of God." This volume Is on
the same high basis of style and edu
cating Influence as the others ' that
have preceded It In the series.
From many points of view, two ar
ticles are certain to attract wide at
tention, those defining the position of
the Roman Catholic Church on "The
Use of the Bible in the Public Schools,"
and fundamental reasons for the estab
lishment and development of "Paroch
ial Schools in the United States," .the
author of these articles being Profes
sor J. F. Driscoll. D. D., -who speaks
with both authority and clarity. Of
possibly equal interest. Is tho article
on "Roman Catholics," written by Pro
fessor Charles H. McCarthy, Ph. D., of
the Roman Catholic University of
Washington, D. C, and it furnishes a
resume of the development, ceremonies,
doctrines, discipline and worship of
the church in question in all lands.
Much Interest will be experienced in
the account of what the church has
done among: the North American In
dians, and the explanation why the
church has seemingly done so little
for the negro.

To thoughtful, church-going people,
every word that is said concerning
"Revivals of Religion" will be read .
and commented on. the presentation of
the subject being so candid, able and
non-sectarian. This graphto descrip
tion, of the recent Welsh religious re
vival shows what Is meant:
The religious movement known as "the
great Welh revival" Is the latest ami most
wldelv known of these national awakenings.
This revival covers a period of two 'ear
from the early period of TO to .the be
ginning of lltoa. During that time. It is
fstlma'ed that over lou.tlOO Professed con
version. Of this number, some o,ooo can .
be accounted for a. being 110 members n
good standing In the Protestant churches In
Wales. The Immediate ethical results "f
the movement were remarkable. A Kea'
wave of sobriety overswept the country, so
that the liquor trade suffered enormous li
nanclal losses; the decrease In criminal cass
"as no less remarkable: hundreds f out
lawed debts were settled; goods stolen 1J
or 20 years before were returned to their
owners: a phenomenal Increase was recorded
In the demand for good literature: feuds
of long standing were healed; and sectarian
ism, a great curse of Welsh national life,
was softened by a larger charity and a
deeper consciousness of an underlying unit.
The movement must not be confused witn
the organised missions that were held about
this time In various parts of Great Brita n.
The genius of the Welsh revival was qulta
distinct from that of any of these missions.
It was spontaneous. unconventional and
without organization of any sort. None of
Its "leaders" was over 30 years of age, ana
none was a great preacher. Most of the
workers were from the humble walks ot
life and were completely uneducated, borne
of the most successful were young girls
under 20. who assisted at the meetings with
exhortation and song. In method or Its
absence the services have been termed a
triumph for Quakerism : "obedience to the
spirit" was the condition Insisted upon. Only
very rarelv was a sermon attempted; the
meetings were devoted to prayer, song, testi
mony and exhortation and seldom concluded
before the small hours of the morning. They
were characterized by far less violent dem
onstrations than previous revivals in the
principality. The burden of the revival
message was the love of God. As is usually
the case In Wales, there were many appar
ently occult phenomena visions, voices and
sign's In tha heavens.

"It is the desire for freedom that
sends so many Americans and so many
millions of dollars abroad every June.
The Puritanical laws of America, en
slave us. These laws, with their total
misconception of fijedom and of en- '
