By Rev. John P. Feters. How Is It that ye have agreed to gether to tempt tho spirit of the Lord Acts v. 0. At tho outset tho Christians of Jerus alem agreed to havo nil things In com mon. Those who hud fields nnd houses told them, nnd tho proceeds wero put Into tho common purse. Only a certain couple, Ananias and Sapphlra, decided that they wished to bo Christians and get tho advantages, whatever they might be, of Christianity without bear ing all the burden of It They therefore ngreed to sell part of their property nnd put tho money In tho common purse, but to represent that money to bo tho procceda of tho sale of tho wholo property. They did so. and were punished by death, visited upon thn miraculously, because they imm WJIW, find tempted tho spirit of the Lord. Tho words of tho text aro tho worda of HL Peter, which bo addresses to the wom an when ho nccuseH her of tho con spiracy between herself and her hus band to defraud Ood. This story of Ananias nnd Happhira Is, na I tako It, nn allegory Intended to express n profound Christian truth. There can Us no more completo unity nnd community of Interest than that which exists among children of otio household. Hut by virtue of Its funda mental principles, Christianity Is mucIi a brotherhood. All are children of ono rather nnd brothers each of the other. Thl relation Is tho first thought In tho lord's prayer, "Our Father, Who art In heaven," which Is the pattern prayer of Christendom. It underlies tho two com niundmenu which our Lord substituted for tlie ancient ten nurnclr, (1) 'Thou slialt love tho Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul nnd with nil thy mind" and (2; "Thou shalt lovo thy neighbor a thyself." Ex pressed In terms of property, It np-t-un In our Lord's teaching that a mnn should regard himself merely an the steward, not the owner, of his im stRwIous; that Is, that his projierty Is not his to enjoy for himself, but only to administer for the greatest k1 of his brethren. No man Is a true Christian who baa not made the fundamental surrender of himself nnd all that ho has to God It and through his fellow men. Ha who. professing tho name of Christian ity, still regards worldly goods hi (oners, his talents, his knowledge, the wealth which he has Inherited or ac quired ns his for his own amusement, ror his own aggrandizement, for the en richment of his children and not for tlie Mirrlce of his brother men, baa tempted tho spirit of the Lord, nnd hit punishment Is spiritual death. He cannot know God, for God Is love, but to know God Is to (xwsesa eternal life, and not to know God Is to tw dead cter nidi. This Is the fundamental truth of Chrlstlaulty, ubovo all expressions of creed. A mun may bellero with his mind and express with his lip belief In nil tho doctrines of tho Christian church ; unless ho makes tho surrender of liliiiM.'lf and what he possesses ha does not In fact believe In Christ. True belief In Jesus Christ Is the ncceptanco as the rule of life of the spirit of Christ, the spirit of service and sacrifice. To choose ns tho stand, nrd and the nlra of one's life self-ad-vnncement or self-pleasing instead of the service of one's fellows nbore all, to make ono's very profession of relig ion n means of self-profit that Is the sin against the Holy Spirit which may not be forgiven, neither here nor hero attcr. That Is the meaning and the lesson of the parable of Ananias and Sapphlra. wbo agreed together to tempt the spirit of the Lord. NATION'S MORA! OBLIGATIONS. By Bishop Fallows. "Young Timothy Dwlght, when chap lain In a continental regiment In 1774, wrote nn Immortal poem on the dostlny of our country, closing with tho won derful lines Indicative of her mission: The ensign of union In triumph unfurled, Hush th tumult of war and give peara to tlie worTd. "Without our conscious effort wa sprang to tho front as one of the great world (lowers. The concern of human ity Is now our concern. Public opinion, potent everywhere, Is almost omnipo tent In tho United Statos. Wo can not now mind our own business without minding tho business of other peopIc. If gro!s wrong Is committed ngnlust them, and our public opinion should bo focalized un the pentrntors of tho evil deeds. Traditional diplomacy must glvo way to tho coming of tho now world Into International politics. Men and women and children shall not be ruthlessly slaughtered by any nation on account of rnco or religion without our Indignant popular protest or gov ernmental remonstrance. This Is not Intermeddling but Intermendlng." Short Meter Sermons. Whlners are not winners. Need makes tho neighbor. Difficulties nre but doors of delight It Is better to right wrongs than to revenge them. Tho lazy man always Is proud of his pntlouee. No great work ever was dono before a mirror. Only n mercerized religion needs to wear a label. Long public, prayers point to short prlvato practice. If your religion Is not In everything. It Is In nothing. It take a wide-awake devil to tnaksj a sleepy, church. Too many men measure their bors power by their exhaust.
