The Standard, tho Secret and the Secu-
rtty Of Christian Character.
Rev. R. Meredith, the pastor, occupied the pull.
pit in the Thirty. street Methodist church
yesterday, and announced as his text Hebrews
XIII, 20, 21-'Now the God o! peace, tina:
brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood Of
the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in
every good work to do his viii, working In you
that which Is well pleasing in his sight, through
Jesus Christ, to whom be glory lOr ever and ever.
Amen" 1t is evident, he began, that this sub
lime and comprehensive prayer has q twofold ap-
pication. II applies first to tho Church or to any
body OF people united together in Christian wor-
ship, eacn being q member OF one body Of which
Christ is the acknowledged head The apostle
contemplated the vision OF strong ana
efficient organization, and therefore he addressed
them in this language. In somewhat modified
form this language Is capable OF individual appli-
cation for each Christian. In this last application
wish to call your attention to three things EN-.
bodied in this prayer. First, we have
A STANDARD
set before us for Christian life; second, we have
the secret on which the maintenance OF that char
acter depends; third, we have The grand security
that such q life and such character may be main
taned all through the Church, and all through lie.
depths OF numiIiatlon and despair ponder on this
marve lous standard set before us, to which all
Christian endeavors must be directed. the
apostle says, BE perfect in every good work"
Let us not allow musty old ideas to hiue the truth
from US. In the presence OF this truth, let US,
far as we can forget the past, leave our litteness
OF power and faitn behind US, ana, If we have
been living below our standard, help US to come
right to the mirror Of divine truth, and, seeing our
mistakes plainly, find o1t what God requires Of us.
1t Is standard, first Uf attainment and then of
achievement. We ask what 1t Is God puts IN our
way TO attain. He sets before US the OBJECT OF
perfect ile Christianity s on Its trial before the
world as the means OF saving the world.
Christianity demands that we shall recog-
nize her own standard. which is perfection
~ every good work. II the real seed Is within us
ahd is carefully nurtured and trained by Christian
lie, then Will those graces OF which Christ spoke
abound within us. We may know we are right be-
lore God by the fruits OF our spirit. This Is all pre-
seuted in the standard OF the text set before the
Church. She is confronted with the WORK to be
done. In this conflict ne are not to wrestle with
flesh and blood, but we must enter the great spir-
itual arena. Behold the work vet to be done in
the cause OF Christ. When we think OF the un-
belief, don't we see at a glance tnat nothing but
the indwelling OF the Divine Power VIII give us
the influence which they cannot resist Let us
not stagger In the application OF this standard to
the Individual. There Is q truth here we must not
lose sight of-that is to be perfect In every good

The Rev. Howard Crosby, ID. d., ON
Sancttncation.
The pulpit Of the First Reformed Episcopal
church, Rev. Dr. Sabine, was filed last evening by
the Rev. Dr. Howard crosby, Chancellor Of the
New York University. In introducing the speaker
DR.. sabine said that he thanked God that he now
belonged to an Episcopal church, In whose pulpit
and at whose communion table the ministers OF
all evangelical faiths were welcome.
Or. Crosby announced as his text J. Peter, H.,
5-"A holy priesthood, to oner up spiritual sac
rinces, acceptable to God BY Jesus Christ" The
minister then said:-When Israel arrived at Mount
sinai the words OF the Lord to Moses were, eye
see what have done to the Egyptians; now If ye
obey my teachings ye snail be q wonderful peo-
ple." The conditions of this compact were never
fulfilled BY the Jews. They never became
nation Of priests. They were Overthrown
at Jerusalem and the Gentiles became the
chosen people. So, q little further on, we
read how Jonn says tnat "the Lord has washed us

priesthood "Priest" 10 but an abbreviatiOn for

ducing all the rltualism which encumbers several
branches OF the Christian Church. The first thing
TO proper realization Of the duties OF priest Is to
remember the forms Of sacrifice, the altar, the
fire from heaven and the animal offered up. In
the Christian faith an altar Is not essential is
victim the essen tials. The temple could be dis
pensed with church IS not an essential, as many
think. 1t is proper to uphold the communion Of
saints; the Christian thus gains strength; but o
single Christian Offering up Christ In his neart Is
enough to save his SOUL 1t Is not the altar but
the sacrifice that atOnes. Let us all remember
this. in order that the Church may not stand In
our light.
There were two kinds OF sacrifice in the Mosaic
dispensation, and to-day we have only two sacri-
fees to offer. BY another false notion the word
sacrifice has come to mean seltdenla, although
such meaning is not found in the Bible. This
Is the direct outgrowth OF Romanism. Tnts Is q
part OF the faith which teaches that to be
righteous we must be miserable IL teaches
tnat the best Christians were to be looked
for In the caves and the torture chambers Our
Lord wants to see all His children with happy
hearts. 1t is the devoted heart and not the self
denial which God wants. The more you can love
Jesus the less you Will need to talk and worry
about sacrificing your body. The more
you love Jesus the better you will take
care OF your health and your body. We have,
then, the spiritual sacrifice and the bloody
sacrifice which Christ made for US. The Jesus
that is In our sacrihces s all that makes Il accept
able Our faith and our holy living are the spirit
ual sacridces which we are compelled to make.

be mistaken for an ordinary man. Christ in the
