CHRIST AND WOMAN.
The Lesson Taught at the Well in
Samaria.

The popular discussion of wOman's
rights work and position that is causing
such lavish expenditure of printers ink
moved the pastor of Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church TO select as his theme last
night, Woman in New Atmosphere /;
Her Rights and Her Rewards"
A vitiated atmosp here, the preacher de-
clared, is fatal to healthy development,
whether spiritual or social Christ created
an atmosphere pure and inspiring, and
the woman that he met at the well in Sa-
maria came into contact with il. There
was peculiar prejudice displayed toward
her people By the Jews. prejudice that
was perhaps pardOnable, for the Samari-
tans were an alien race in Israel and ad
desecrated the land.
The prejudice of the Jews is displayed
In three ways. Once year a curse upon
the Samaritan was read in every syna
gogue upon his seed, his household and
his possession; the Jews denied them a
part 10 the resurrection, and to avoid pass
ing thr'ugh their terri tory road was
built from Galllee to Jndea-
But Jesus. in going to Galilee, did not
take the Pharisee's road. He went
through Samaria and preached in the
Samaritan synagogues. Never speak to
a woman on the street, even if she be thy
vile. was and Is an Oriental adagp, one
that explains the terrible depreciation of
motherhood and sisterhood ia heather
lands, but it never found Judgment in
Jewish hearts. In the old testament
stories of men and women a glorious place
is given to woman. yet outside gospel
lands she is laid down below the brute
animal of her sex. The gentle sex is the
crushed sex. Yet Christ talked with this
woman and she sinner.
There is no place for woman in the
philosophy of Greece, India or China, yet
Christ, the highest and best eacher.
sc0rned not the poor Samaritan sinner.
Jesus enlightened the woman of Sa-
maria. He converted her and made her
an enthusiast and enthusiasts rule the
world.
Il believe" said the pastor, in conclu-
sion, that If a woman does a full days
work she should have full days pay. If
she is down deep in the gutter she should
be lifted up, enlightened and redeemed.
There are no privileges for men in the
kingdom OF heaven that are not wide open
to women. Salvation is broad enough,
deep and wide enough for even the woman
OF Samaria"

DlSINTERESTED LOVE.
The Higher Phases of the Divine
Passion.

The third of a series of lectures entitled
''Idylls in Prose" was delivered by Rev. d.
Hanson Irwin at ST. Johns Presbyterian
Church last evening in the presence Of an
unusually large congregation. The sub
ject, Love; Pure. Passionate, Personal"
afforded the reverend gentleman a rare
opportunity for exalted thought and
rhetorical effort, and on the whole the
sermon was refreshingly devoid of even a
tinge of sensationalism which the title
might possibly suggest. Love in it's purest
ana most divine form, at all times furnish
Ing an interes ing theme for the lecturer,
becomes doubly entertaining and elevated
when handled from a religious standpoint
as It was by Rev. DIR. Irwin.
That most touching and beautiful ex-
ample OF disinlerested love referred to in
the book of Ruth, i:16 was made the
ground work Of the lecturers remarks
He recalled the trials visited upon Naomi.
after her departure from the land of Is
rael and during her sci urn among the
people of Moab, and pointed TO the deyo-
ton of Ruth rs one of the most striking in
stances OF heaven born love mentioned in
sacred scripture. IL was when Naomi.

was about TO return TO the land Of her
fathers, and urged her daughters-iu-law,
Orpah and Ruth, to remain VITA their

of her sfferti 10. Her words on that occa-
sion have caused her name to be placed
among the most admired women of scrip
lure. To Naomi advice she replied:
'Iutreat me not 10 leave thee, or TO ra-
turn from followi q ter thee for whittier
thou goest, / will go; and where thou
lodgest, Will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy GOD my God"
The speaker then spoke Of the highest
phases of love, of which Ruth presented
the most striking example. Her love was
of the most unselfisn character and raised
her above all that was Of the earth earthly.

lie. Men are sometimes honestly mis-
taken In making statements which are un-
true, but which they believe to be true.
That Is no lie. A lie is deadly sin. be-
cause 1t springs from deliberate lnten-
ton TO deceive. 1t is the motive that
makes II sin. This throws flood OF light
upon lying. The meannesses and tricks of
trade, whose purpose is to deceive, are
lies. The grocer who gives false weight,
the merchant who tells what is not true
ABOUT his goods, the lawyer who suD0rns
perjury, tie butcher who labels his stale
mas nigh morals FOR the editorial page and
low morals for the personal column anu
The business Office, are liars In the sight OF
God and honest men.
There are times when it is a lie for US to
hold our tongues. LII we hear a slander on
a neighbor uttered and let il pass without
a word we are as guilty as The one who
first set the story going. Before you sprak
OF another's failings behind his back you
should ask three questions: SIS it trueY"
"Wlll il do any good TO tell it?" IAN
the proper one to speak of it?" They will
save you from venom, gossip and inter
meddling.
Mr.. MOreland said it was dishonest TO
put men ana things in false light because
of prejudice; to impute motives which we
do not know to exist; TO color facts WI b
cur fancy or malice.
1T is the highest mental attainment to
stats fact exactly as it is. Little shams
in society are called white lies. l never
heard of white stealing or white murder.
Auy lie Is as black as its author, the devil,
who Is the father of lies.
The only way TO be perfectly truthful
is 10 abide in Jesus Christ; TO dwell In him
who is true. To the world the true stand
ard seems fantastic and impossible. To
him who is living IN Christ II is an every
day experience. Christ is the only strength
OF mOrtals. Come and abide in him ana
you will find salvation from deceit and
living"

OUR DAILY BREAD.
Great Need of a Vital Thought of
Providence.

providence" was the subject Of Raw.
Leslie W. SpragUe's discourse at the Sec
ond Unitarian Church last night. 1t was
his sixth sermon on the Lords Prayer,
and for text he took the words, "Give us
this day our daily bread" which he said
was better translated. "Glve US this day
the bread of our being" for it does not
mean natural food or life alone, coming
from. he lips of him who said "Man liveth
not by bread alone"
Mr.. Sprague criticized our western civili-
Zation as producing a bread-and- butter
conception of religion, making God a
charity monger, and said that men DOW
only pray like the shipw rocked Irishman.
saving I'll you will grant me this one
favor, 0 God, will nsver ask for an
other" There is great need OF a vital
thought of providence, of a consciousness
that nature and man are only instruments
in the hands OF an eternal love and
wisdom.
In the evolution of the idea of God the
thought Of power came first, and MANY to-
day are not above that thought After
power comes goodness. which is easily
conceived under a dualistic philosophy
which recognizes Two active principles 10
life-g0Od and evil.
But under monatheism a loving provi-
dence is more difficult of conception.
lib mucL NC CUuColfcu 10 attain
religion or the best lie. The old dualism
has given place to new one. The devil
has changed his robes and become nature.
But religion declares that God and nature
are one. Nature-law is God-providence.
There is no miracle, no setting aside of
of law or rising above 1t. All is natural
and all is good.
The preacher who bases his teachings
largely upon the results of science still has
little sympathy with resSimism He de-
GLAZED that there is nothing more meaning
less than the cry that life Is evil, based on
the laws OF material nature, and said that
If life were evil it could not continue
There is no dark power of fate to keep US
alive that nature may torture US. Life
is one: so il force. There is but
one power. Pain is part of it, but if
1t were the larger part all lie would cease
1t could never have been, for the power
always was which now is. The thought
of God as one neesssitates the thought that
God is love.

The AUTUMNAL FESTIVAL.
Given at the First Methodist Episco-
pal Church.

The harvest is past, the summer is
ended, ana we are not saved
This was one of the leading themes
brought out at the autumnal festival held
yesterday evening at the First Methodist
Episcopal Church on Powell street, near
Washington. All through the service the
necessity of profting by the lesson of the
harvest time was insisted upon.
John E. Potter, president of the Ed
worth League conducted the deyotions
which opened with the singing of the
hymn Coronation" 10 which the large
congregation heartily joined.
Prayers and hymns followed. Miss A.
V. Bruce read the Scripture lesson, which
consisted of the tweuty-fi tn CHAPTER of ST,
Matthew. Miss E. A. Taylor made an ex-
position of tire twenty-fourth chapter IF
Jeremiah, and exhorted her hearers to rise
10 a higher spiritual plane and worship
God with their hearts, rather tnan merely
acknowledge him with their heads.

was present and rendered the chorus.

Rev. George Edward Walk Speaks
on Christian Duty.
MEN MUST PREPARE TO Do WELL
Interesting Autumnai Festival at
the First Methodist Church.
Other Services.

A mission for the Catholic people of
Richmond was opened yesterday in Star
of the Sea Church, at Point Lobos and
Eighth avenues, by Fathers Brady and
WymaD. the Paulist missionaries of New
York. The church was crowded morning
and evening.
At the morning service Father Brady
explained the purpose and scope of the
mission. and advised his audience how they
should attend and foster it properly.
He also gave an instruction Ia the even
lug on the existence of God. His argu-
ment was that the existence of God is a
necessity of human reason, not merely a
deduction. The infinite order and design
throughout the universe were proof suffi-
cient Of a supreme or divine intelligence,
even as the mechanism of a watch tells the
reason that an intelligence was necessary
TO construct it. So in the universe, which
is Infinitely more complicated than man
can ever dream of, the existence of an in
finite intellect must be recognized.
And yet while the existence of God is
the necessity OF human reason, the kn0wl-
edge of God must ever be nv sterious, be-
cause it Is impossible for the finite mind Of
man to grasp the infinite mind of God. But
that is no reason why the mind of man
should quest on the providence OF God any
more than the mysteries of the law of
gravitation should prevent men from &C
cepting it. What eraVitation is passes be-
yond human kent is only known through
It's effect, and the mysteries relating to
God and Gods revelations, while beyond
the grasp of the human mind, are in no
way in opposition to human reason.
The mysteries of faith are not opposed
to reasou-theY are only beyond the reach
Of reason-and the whale question of re-
latiou between faith and reason may be
summed up in one sentence. Reason leads
up TO faith and accepts Gods revelation
on evidences. but Gods revelation once
accepted then reason submits to it and
follows his higher guidance.
A moral discourse was given by Father
Wyman on the end of man. The text was
taken from the sixteenth chapter of ST.
Matthew: "Wbst doth it profit q man if
he gain the whole world and lose his own
soul"
In brief. the drift of Father Wyman's
sermon was that man must have an end
over and above mere exis tence and the
propagation of the species. The inferior
creation all tends in some way to serve the
interests of man, and in SO doing has
purpose above existence and propagation
of It's species only. Then man being at
the apex of creation he must serve
higher being 1t was for that end that the
earth was prepared for mans habitation,
and it Is for that man is here.
The mission will continue every day this
week, with services beginning at A, NJ.
and evening services at Z 80 o'clock
