Last evening Dir. E. p. Ingersoll, of
the Park Congregational church, gave
the third sermon i'll the course to young
women. His themes were: "Self-Re-
lance" System and Decision of Char
acter."
Upon ''Self-Reliance," among other
things, he said:
True self-reliance never signs for
independence from God or humanity.
Whatever belongs entirely to God it is
our glory TO leave with Hin. What
ever belongs to mans sphere it is the
glory OF woman to leave where it be-
longs, and whatever belongs TO woman's
sphere 1t Is the glory of man TO leave
with her. Each, man and woman, should
rejoice in mutual dependence, and both
Ill their dependence upon God, for to
have faith is TO be strong.
There Is no way TO victories except
through the red gates of war. War
with hindrances and temptations. Until
thrown upon our own resources We will
hot grow, and so it is wisely and lovingly
ordered that the anchors which steady
US and the breakwaters which shield us
in childhood shall one by one disappear,
so that our liIe-boat may have the sea.
"A women. as Christian women, be
seif-reliant not only i'll activities but
under the burden.
''Nhat is the result if ] continually
throw myself upon your SympathieS?
You grow weary in trying to bear for
me and with me. what L myself make
no brave effort TO bear. The most ample
and refreshing sympathy is given, can
only be given when we have proved
ourselves strong enough to live without
it. We pity, we help the silent sufferer.
We turn the prattling beggar from the
door, ID
Of system he said: "a time for ev-
erything. and everything in its time"
There is no haphazard or ''chance" in
the lefty Of gold"
Map out in mind your day. First this
and then that. So the day wears away,
but you do not. Now and then you talk
a great deal about acc mplishing some
thing, as some other people do whom
you name. Now and then some of you
wake up to its Importance, make a few
blind and impulSive= efforts and then
sink back into the old routine. as
"Mothers,you will train your boys and
girls all the more thoroughly if you give
them a definite time every day. Let
1t be theirs; call it theirs. Read some
thing short and bright to them; cheer
fully chat with them; play with them.
DO not neglect the evening twilight
hour. A mothers care and PRAYER, and
good night kiss are good SenrinelS that
make their march far down the years.
Yes, let all things be done decently
and in order
"Order is lovely nymph; the child
OF beauty and wisdom. Her attendants
are comfort, neatneSs and activity: her
abode is the valley of happiness; she is
always to be found when sought for.
She never seems so lovely as when in
contrast with her foe disorder.
Of decision of character he said: 81
mean tirmnesS of purpose which stands
to its decision because it has noble
reason for it and not that Grabbed per-
Sistencv, which. when challenged says
cause because it hasn't any cause.
''Ttere is deal of pendulum life in
community. A swinging to and fro
under the power of wound.up machin-
cry. "A more abundant life does not
come with winding up our resolutions
but from inspiring and energiZing our
souls; then our decisions are the outgo,
ing of a fountain.
''BeSideS this we are very apt to be-.
come the playthings of circumstances.
God has clearly and graciousy provided
against such failures. He said and still
says to the waves of the sea: Hitherto
shalt thou come and no further Thus
should every one OF US meet the tides
