Not only In ths biological realm do ws meet with these forms but also in the moral domain. Different oharacterlctles attach to different men and make possl ble our classification. We Bpeak of the stole or of the epicurean, meaning- tnere ' by a type of character. Morally the ' race comes under many kinds of types, j To appreciate this It is but necessary to .- compare the orient with the Occident or pagan with Christian civilization. Progress comes through the destruc. ; tion and evolution of type. In certain parts, of the west are great fossil beds from which scientists bavs dug many strange petrified forms of pre-historic f life. These huge bones and uncouth skeletons which have been uncovered "speak volumes as to life and environ ment in by-gone ages. In strength and bulk there-la an apparent superiority over the forms of later ages, yet In reality they represent Inferior types. The mere ponderosity shows the lack of brain power and delicate mechanism, the ; concomitants of high intelligence. The ' past is strewn with dead and useless types. That there was purpose in their existence cannot be doubted; nelthercan ws question the evidence of plan re- . 1 fhal. nHnntlnn. in the DrOff- ress of the world when . types have Lr. Foulkes liltens Modern Sect to rved their nuroose they have been left behind and nature has dug their sepul chres and performe4 their funeral ob- lnoveruent upward toward man. Ths Bible and science unite In the affirma tion that it costs something to make a man. Man represents something more ' than a mere waste of mud. Tennyson says, 'Men may rise on ths stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things.' Nature has risen on stepping stones of her dead typ to higher things. There la such a thing as the ascent of man.' - Moral Types Improve. "If you- will notice the history of Israel you will see how truly this has been the order of development. Some things were permitted in the infancy of Israel which could not be tolerated in J the more mature life of tha nation, be cause of the hardness of their hearts did God allow certain things in the past Moral types continually improve and become mora rigid. Jesus Christ is the supreme man type, however. : Civilisation even has moved In obeai o this law. ; Types have perished. he l ?t 'today Iff far higfiei-than that which neio iwr ", ihNllS Srooo. years ago. .

It can be said that the earthy Includes the materialist, the sen sualist, tha covetous and tha selfish. We 2.1 know that these exist. Where one of these base ideals becomes the domi nant character of life it becomes little and sordid. Mark that which domi nated the wind of'Judasv He came to the priests and said.

J. Whltcomb Brougher at " the White Temple. -.His theme was "The Golderl Rule Applied." upon which Dr., Brougher dwelt to the effect that much of the strife between labor and capital is due to a misunder standing of tha motives and miscon struction of the actions and words of each other.--. Dr. Brougher favors clos ing stores at noon Saturdays ana eariyi in the. eveninv throughout the weekX Hl icrmon in n&rt follows; . -Most or me anncuuies xoaay- Be tween labor and capital, employer ana employe come through misjudging one another, simply because motives ' are misunderstood and words and actions are misconstrued. I heard a young workman say the other oay; 'At one time I thought mv employer a fiend In carnate, but when I became thoroughly acquainted ,wltn 1119 man ana under stood fullv all the circumstances con. nected with his life and -work I found lie was a. Christian gentleman.' If the golden rule were "brctlcedVr w-would seek to know each other better sad cease to pass harsh,' unkind, cruel and Injurious criticisms upon each other. - "Application ot the golden rul j would lead to a higher appreciation of man hood and womanhood.' 'This would be especially true as respects employer and employe. rune-wouia. respect 'no man hood of, the other.. Capital too often looks upon ths laborer as a machine. and not as a man. It consider him a hand,' without any thought of hie soul. Let the golden - rule be pra:tleed and character would be placed above ash. The laboring man of . character would he given the recognition that character demands.'-. He would be the equal in manhood tof the capitalist of eharacter. He would be the superior of a capitalist who lacked the equalities f a manly character. The laborer is a man, and labor .la . something more than-a com modity. .. There must be a mutual rec ognition on the part of labor and capi tal of the true value of character. Many a manufacturer gives greater care to his machinery than he does to hie men. If you break machinery you will have to pay for repairs, but If you break the hearte ot men van can get more men for nothing. The o-oldun rule would lead us to put the stmt value upon the souls and bodies of other men snd women that ws want them to put upon ours." -' , LIKE TOWER OF BABEL. power rrom us possession oui n uw himself in the hands of a master now who lashes him on toward perdition. "The betrayal of Christ does not be long to that day. In similar strains men sometimes say. "What will ye give me and I will deliver him unto your What a low, coarse type of character this Isl That type means the stifling of the voice of conscience and the blackening of the soul- with all the blackness of the pit.

Two Prominent Types. "There is the pessimlstio type. Hs Is a man who la alwaya expecting trouble. He is. alwaya busy picking flaws in things. He has quite a taste for that which Is unsymmetrlcal and awry. He- sees the mauormationa in nature There is no beauty -in lif s - for him.- Every thing is bad and there is never a song in his heart. The prayer-bells never ring in nis soui. . aa never starts on a jour ney on Friday. He knows the omen for every day. -He knowa a good deal about rain and can tell you the sign for the 4u days- aownpeur. Tne world is dark enough we all know, so may 1 the Lord deliver us from the vicious, mean and selfish pessimist - "To be able to see the beauty of life, to revel In Its glory, to catch the In spirations which abound on every hand, to open the heart to the sunshine, to breathe the atmosphere of hope, to be lieve In the upward tendency of things and to have faith in God and some con fidence In man that means much to any man. May we covet this type. Gt In touch with the higher. the heavenly. That which is gross and coarse and selfish and bestial and devilish from Confusion of Tongues.' 'Back to tha Tower of FUhM." vn the burden of a speech made last nlarht at th First Presbyterian church, by Its pastor. Dr William Hiram fc'oulkes, 'Tangled Tongues; Babel or Pentecost." was tne auDject of Dr. irouikes' talk. He referred to the heresies advocated by present day members of the Apos tolic faith ks a counterpart of the con fused promulgation of the historic tower. Dr. Foulkes said In part: "I take my ttwrne tonight f rosa a small but vlgoroua sect called the "Tan- ?led Tongues," who are not content to ollow In the usual way to obtain sal vation, but who go into spiritual ecata clea over their religion. They have an idea that ' In doing this they are being fitted to be missionaries. A number of them have been sent across the water in tne Dener that their apeech, when in their ravings, would. te intelligible to tne natives of other lands, but authen tlo reports are coming back saying that the heathen can understand them ho better than we can.

Ths contest of the saloon and antl-saioon forces ia simply another evidence of the age-long contest The forces of evil are gathered together with their many tongues and many vices in contrast with the simple Pentecostal gathering. Of course this message - is fooltshness to a world gll-wlse In Its own wisdom," WHAT DRIXK MONEY COULD DO. Dr. Wilson Incidentally Says McXary Is Backed by Llqnor Men. An - arithmetical Illustration of the benefits of prohibition was made by Rev. .Clarence True Wilson, D. D., in his sermon at the Centenary' Methodist church last night He said there were c.zja arrests tor arunxenness In Port tana last year, a gain of 1,443 over ins year neiore. He estimated the average daily recelDts of the uioon at $26, and computed the annual revenue 01 tne est aramsnops or the city, a Turning to the other alda of the Vile ture, Dr. Wilson old how; the money yon 1 lur nquor migm nave oeea ex pended. Fifty thousand tons of coal 200.000 sacks of potatoes and 200,000 sacas 01 nour would cost only 11.000. 000. Twenty-fire thousand pairs of men s snoes at , an equal n .mber of women a snoes at tne . Ba.ro e price and 6,0,000 pairs of children's shoes at 12 would . oost $300,000. Ten - thousand merry widow hats at $6 would cost only a mite or tne sum spent for drink. Dr. Wilson said that the-dally news papers 01 x-oruana nave recently con tained articles tnat are intended to help check the prohibition wave that la sweeping tne country. He also took short excursion into politics, saying that the liquor interests were back of L. A Monary in nis race ror circuit Judge.

Fundamental Truths Mast Be Taught In the Home. Rev. J.'T." Ghormlev In his sermon at the Central Christian church last night emphasised the necessity of form. lng the character of bovs in the home. and the unwisdom of depending upon legislative' enactment " to bring about great 'moral reforms. At the aame time, ne saia, tlie ciusen has a duty to perform as a cart of the state In securing tne nest possible laws. . Environment is largely determined by the state, said the speaker, and this Is a. queaiion mvoivea in tne coming elec tion. That the- saloon is a national blight and crime is settled, and to make the environment of the boys what it should - be, - the saloon should be ntH out- Every father in the state should atudy -the questions to be voted on this year, . and he should vnin . inimt uiiBUKSB in ino local option law, Fundamental truths that are the basis of the church and the state must be uumi tne nova at nnm i rtw unormiey,- the formation of character peing largely made In the home.
