THOUGH SILENT, YET STRONG.

An Instructive Lesson Given by Mrs.
Cooper to Her Class.
The Second Psalm was the basis of the
lesson in Mrs. Cooper's class yesterday
Why do the heather rage and the people
imagine vain thing? Because" said
the teacher, Terror is always noisy Truth
can always afford to be calm. Sin is for
ever raging against holiness, and brute
force is apt to feel that noise is Power. But
the fact OF the matter is. the silent forces
are the strongest forces. Gravitation makes
no noise, but 1t is steaofast In its power.
When solid character is lacking there is sure
to be excitement, restlessness and aimless,
irrational proceedings. Let Us break
their bands asunder! In other words, let us
do as we pleased! We can break away from
law In this world, IL we like, but we must
needs take the penalty. Just exactly so, is
ii, IL we break away from moral law and
rectitude. II brings its penalty. Natures
laws laugh at us when we defy them.
Touch redh0t stove with ever so good in
tent and 1t will mock at your calamity
There Is an everlasting fidelity In GODS
laws. They are not tickle and changeable,
like man In his caprice and contempt.
Gods government, like that of true
parent, Is spiritual dominion OF thought,
rectitude,. sympathy. culture and discipline.
A very interesting part Of the lesson was
devoted to the discussion OF individual re-

CHURCH BUILDING.
Rev. Joseph E. scott's Practical Ideas of
Religion.

Rev. Joseph f. scotts Practical Ideas of
Religion.
Rev. Joseph E. Scott, the acting pastor of
the Woodbridge Presbyterian Church,
preached plain but pointed and practical
sermon yesterday morning from threefold
text taken from Matthew xiii 10, "One Is
your master. ever Christ; 2 Cor. viii :l2
"a willing mind" and Cor. xiv 40, let
all things be done decently and in order"
These different passages were used with
reference to the work of building up and
STRENGTHENING church, and the discourse
was designed to give light and supply aid
for the process. The necessity of head, to
whom all are subject, was illustrated by
reference to the erection Of a large building
where each workman pursues his own line
OF work Independently, to great extent. Of
all the others, yet all being under the direc-
tion Of the superintendent Harmony is
secured. and the danger of misfits and
other mistakes in the construction is
avoided. Thus, when Christ is recognized
as the head of the church and all the men,
bers are submissive 10 him, everything will
go on smoothly and legitimate progress will
be secured.
"A willing mnd"-a readiness to do
promptly and cheerfully whatever the Mas
ter requires Is rs necessary In building
church as in the erection of a temporal
structure, and decency and order are as es-
sential IN church as In commercial life and
work, or III domestic or social affairs. For
lack Of these many an industrious and en-
ergetic man has failed in business and for
the same lack many a church is known to
langulsh.
System in the various branches of work,
regularity ana punctuallty in the attendance
upon meetings for worship, decorum of be-
havior in the congregation, including the
portion constituting the choir, kindness of
demeanor toward one another and courteous
treatment OF strangers, and all working tc-
object which should animate every servant
of God, will inevitably result In building up
a church and making 1t a powerful agency
for the accomplishment Of its legitimate
ends

The session OF the Grand Lodge last week
was one of the best attended and most in
teresiing convocaiions ever held by the OF
der in this State.
1t was noticeable that the 127 new repre-
sentatives were principally young men,
which speaks we'll for the order in their
localities.
An error occurred in the report of Tues
days session in regard to the Limitation of age
by card. 1t has been the custom In Califor-
MIA to admit from other jurisdictions men,
bers by card without regard to their age;
but several California members having been
refused by other jurisdictions merely on ac-
count Of their being over 30 it has been
deemed only cons istent to also pass SINH
lar law in regard to applicants who propose
to join by card here.
The increased appropriations for extern
sion work, the designating of an official Or
gan and the proposed measures now being
taken Tor an active campaign In this State
evidences that work Is going to be done.

for himself, find ont truth for himself and
answer for himself. This is the law of

sible individuaiism is the foundation ele-
ment of government and of society, whether
we regard society as framed of God or
fashioned of man. The explanation of a
persons deeds is to be found in the quality
OF bis character. AS man thinketh in his
heart, so is he.' -

out much of comfort to the sorrowing.
