THE REWARDS OF RELIGION NOW
i, UThe world lias long been taught not to expect toieiijoy
t the rewards of religion : until they reach the future life ;
" that heaven is only to be reached at the end of this life by
l.'th7 true believer; while the sinner does not experience hell
until he Is plunged into . the lake of fire after he "shuffles
of f this mortal coiL", No chance to prove the, value of re

or our- religious leaders, until aeatn snau give us an oppor
tunity "for a first demonstration. ' : ,
" r ; More even than this- the old teaching was that the bet-
j ter and truer and purer your life, the more you must expect
V:t6 suffer, the more hardships irou must undergo, the more
losse3 ana sacniices you musi auonui .io. xne via religious
teachers were fond of quoting such passages of scripture
j-., as f)Vhom the Lord loveth, He chastenth, and - scourgeth
" ! every son whiom ile receiveth." Your rewards for honest
pure,, unselfish living, for human service and' everything
lovely in life, character and conduct are to come in some
future, far-away heaven,, ! Your sufferings, hardships and
BAcrifices the' inevitable, present, reality 1 -Your rewards only
' ': a-hope, or a promise of someone who knows by . experience
no more about the great future than, you knovft, .
'f 5 These lugubrious ideas of course are. not, at. all in har
mony with the teaching of the Bible, v Before the glorious
manifestation of love and power in the New Testament, the
voice of inspiration spoke through the Psalmist injthfa wise:
.The young lions do 'lack and suffer hunger ; but' they that
fi'eelc the .Lord shall not want any good thing.'' "Because thou
M has made the Lord, which, is my refuge,' even the Most High
,5 thy habitation, there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall
any, piague come nign tny aweuing. r or zie snau give nia
'Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. "They
shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone?, w i . -k :- '::-d's'.-
.-. The New Testament, is full of this same teaching ; of
the present power and rewards of religion, and the constant,
ldvisg.care of the Father.- Jesus tells us that God numbers
the hiirs of our; heads, and that not a , sparrow falleth, to
the ground without Jlis notice, and He assures us that' we
are of more value than many sparrows. He specifically prom
ises the gift of great power and wisdom to those who really
become His disciples and keep His. commandments. :)
i Wherever: His-spiritual: life Is active,' dammant ; there
ia harmony and heaven; there is reward for every good, pure,
holy, unselfish thought, aspiration actw Otherwise He is not
a God of love, or He does 'not rule thi3 part1 of His crea
tion; and our daily, observation and experience, as well as
nearly every page of Holy Writ, teach us unequivocally that
He is a God of love and that He does rule every part of his
universe. 'Since this is so, it must be, in the language o
the old hymn, that " 4
"The han that bears creation up
Shall guard His children well."
It is becoming daily more apparent that many. men in
this day will not longer be fed exclusively upon promise 5
to be redeemed in the. future life. They are demanding
to see 3ome real and tangible results of religion here and now
or. they will have none of it. Not as infidels or scoffers, but
as intelligent, honest and earnest seekers after truth, they
are reverently asking, "What sign showeat Thou, that we
may see and believe Thee?"
This attitude off insisting upon being shown results is
not wholly unreasonable. If the New Testament record be
true, can it be that .the God who worked in and with Christ ,
the disciples and apostles, ha3 left the world, or has less
power than formerly; that He is either not willing or is not
able to redeem' the promise made by Jesus, that ""the works
that I do ye shall do also; if ye became my disciples"? Rather
than this, may it not be that in straining our eyes across the
centuries of the past to find our Christ and get some evi
dence of His power, and in so constantly peering into the
distant heavens to see the rewards for our faith and dis-
cipleship, we have forgotten to make ourselves His real dis
ciples? Are we warranted in concluding that a discipleship
that does not. bring the results that Jesus himself prom
ised in this life is to bring the rewards that our religious
leaders assure us it is to bring in the next? -
Having little or no real spiritual power, and manifesting
little 01 the love and spirit ox Christ, may it not be that we
are of those who are rejected of the Master; of those to
whom He is recorded in Matthew as stating the reason
for Hi3 refusing to receive them 7 "I Was an hungered and
ye gave me no meat; 1 was a stranger , and ye took me
not in; naked and ye cloth ecLme not; sick and in prison and
ye visited me not. Then shall they answer Him, sayinsr,
Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered, or athirst, or a"
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison and did not min-,
fster unto Thee? Theni shall He answer them, saying. Verily,
I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto the least
of these, ye did it not untome.

The trudgeon, swum slowly, is

providing you do notiatart too

distance swlnfrnlng than 'to start

reached your goal. 5
Some experts advocate a com
bination ot several strokes for dis
tance swimming. It Is a bad pol

stroke you start out with unless
you become so tired that you can
not continue. - Most of the sci

At first Mrs. Foster was going
to wire the news, but Mr; Foster
persuaded her to let Henry go
''The folks will be disappointed,"
he said. "Henry need stay only
a week or two. Maybe he won t
do so much damage It that time.
You can write them a letter ex
plaining it." . V
So Henry went to the farm. He
was met'at the station, as Harry,
and he didn't tell them any dif
ferent. He thought it would be
a good Joke on them And next

By Harry F. Atwood,
Author of "Back to the Repub
lic," "The Constitution Our
Safeguard."
(The following is from "Keep
God in American History," pub
lished by Iaird & Lee, Chicago.)
There were men in the consti
tutional convention who refused
to sign that immortal document.
Alexander Hamilton was the only
ma.n.Trom the great state of New
York who signed it, but those
who refused have long since been
forgotten. The" men who refused
to tslgn the constitution were
urging- the Inclusion of popular
fallacies that are as bid as Me
thuselah and played their part in
the downfall of Greece, Rome and
other countries. And the same
old fallacies, during recent years,
bay!,Teen advocated by modern
demagogues in this country as
new panaceas. When the men
who favored those Socialistic nos
trums learned that they could net
appeal to the reason of the men
who wrote and signed the consti
tution they tried to appeal to
their fear, and they said,, in ef
fect, "Unless you write Into this
constitution some popular falla
cies to fool and please the people
the constitution will never be
adopted."
George Washington had taken
no Dart in the discussion of the
convention up to thatx time, buf
when he heard that statement he
rose from the president's chair
and in tones of suppressed' emo
tion said: "It Is too probable'that
no plan we propose will be aiJopt-
ed; perhaps another dreadfql con
flict is to be sustained; if, to
please the people, we offer what
we ourselves disapprove, how can
we afterward defend ouf woYk?
Let us raise a standard -to which
the wise and honest can repair;
the event is in the hands, of God.
Professor Fiske has well said that
those words ought to be written
on the walls ot every legislative
hall, state and national, in this
country, and ought to be carved
jV;e:Tho-Bad,One
Of the tf ins. Harry x was al
ways known as the good one end
Henry as the bad one.', Since the
time Henry was a very little boy,
whenever one ot them got into
trouble he was the one. "Never
mind, about Harry," Mrs.. Foster,
mother of the twins, would say.
hot" for goodness sake look out
tor Henry."
Henry got. used to being the
hlack sheep. Every one expected
him to do something he shouldn't
o he did; . . ; ; .
When summer vacation came,
and the twins'' grandfather wrote
that he'd like to ""have them come
out tbr 'a; while to his farm, it
waa (decided that Harry . should
go. Mrs. Foster was sure she
could never trust Henry away
from home. So Harry got readyd
to go, but the day before he was
to leave he came home with a
chill and fever, and the doctor
ordered him to stay at home.
day when they sent ; him, out to
get the mail, and he found a let
ter In his mother's-handwriting,
he hid it In his coat.
VI can't understand this," said
Mrs. ' Foster two weeks later.
"Here'a a letted from your fath
er. He says Harry is certainly
all we said he was -the finest
boy ever. He wants him to stay
all summer." 1
, So , Mr, Foster wrote telling
them there must be some mistake.
The letter wa read aloud at the
dinner table. "Well, well." said
grandfather, "what does this
mean, Harry I mean Henry?"
"At first it was a Joke," stam
mered Henry, "and then It was
so nice being treated like I really
was-good that that I didn't tell
yOU.V- -.I-:' V -
His grandfather came over and
nut his ana about the boy's shoui

satd gruffly, "but they're the ones
that'are making It.5 And you're
going to stay all summer. That's,
all there is to it" , . 1
"How did the Order of the
Bath originate?"- x 5
: nYou iee, it It tott ancient. In
those days a man never .look a
bath except by .order ot the kiag
npon "the walls o every ..conven
tion room where people meet to
write a platform or adopt a reso
lution or nominate a candidate.
It Is illustrative ot the type of
reasoning that prevailed in the
constitutional convention.
Those men were not trying to
follow the crowd; they were try
ing to mold public opinion and
give Ihe people what they needed.
The great difficulty during recent
years is that we have bad crowd
followers instead of statesmen
who were leaders. .' The crowd
does not want to be followed; it
1 wants to be guided; and the great
men, the men who have molded
puDiie sentiment irequenuy nave
had to stand in the minority for
time. But history points to
these men finally as the ones who
molded public opinion and who
stood tor what they believed to
be right.
George, Washington wrote to
Governor Trumbull of Connect!
cut: "I can almost trace the fin
ger of Drvine Providence through
those dark and mysterious days
which first led the colonists to
assemble in convention, thereby
laying the foundation for peace
and prosperity, when we had too
much reason to fear that misery
and confusion were coming too
rapidly upon us."
In his farewell address he said.
among other things: "Of all
habits and customs leading to po
litical prosperity, religion and
morality are indispensable sup
ports. . It is substantially true
that virtue or morality is a ne
cessary spring of popular govern
ment."
Alexander Hamilton exclaimed:
"The sacred rights of mankind are
not to be rummaged for among
old parchments or musty records.
They are written as with a sun
beam In the whole volume of hu
man nature my the hand of Di
vinity . itself." Again, he said
A nation without a national gov
ernment Is, in my view, an awful
spectacle. The establishment of
a constitution in time ot pro
found peace by the voluntary ac
tion of all the people, is prodigy.
It is impossible for the man of
pious reflection not to perceive
in It a finger of that Almighty
hand which has been so frequent
ly and signally extended to our
relief." 1
Chief Justice John Marshall,
generally regarded as the greatest
judge that ever sat on the bench,
In his 75th year, said: "Advert,
sir, to the duties of a judge. The
judicial department comes home
in its effects to every man's fire
side. It passes on his property,
his reputation his all, ' la it not
to the last degree important that
he should be rendered perfectly
and completely independent, with
nothing to influence or control
him but God and his conscience "
Daniel Webster, expounder and
defender of the constitution, wbo
stands at . the mountain peak of
New England history and ranks
second only to Alexander Hamil
ton as a governmental genius,
said: "I mean to stand upon the
constitution. ,1 need no other
platform. " The ends I aim at shall
be my country's, my God's, and
tiuth's."
The great patriot, Archbishop
Ireland, once exclaimed: "Tell
men there is a God in Israel;
Tthat authority is Divine; that
God's majesty encircles with its
rays the. legislators and rulers ot
nations. God is the . master of
man, and God's will is man's su
preme law. ' Authority is from
God and civil governments rule by
divine right. The underlying re
ligious spirit of the people Is the
sqrest hope of the republic."
