CUPS OF THE LORD.

Tin Dippers Filled With Pure Water are
Such. Says Rev. Dr. Todd.
"Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and
the cup of the devils; ye cannot be partakers
of the Lord's table and the table of devils.
Corinthians, X, 21."
This was the text from which Rev. E 8
Todd, the pastor, preached on The cup
of the Lord and the cup of the devils"
te very large congregation at the Hamliue
NJ. E. Church, corner OF Ninth aud P streets,
yesterday morning.
Christianity, said he, "is dominant
over every part of our being. The COrin-
thians thought that when they had done
reverence to their gods each in his proper
time and season, they were freed from all
further oblig cations; they thought that
religion had claim over but partof mans
nature AS a consequence, among the
Corinthians, one might have been very re
ngious and very immoral.
But the christian must serve Jehovah
and noae other. Christianity goes into
the religious social, business and private
life, controlling the whole man. You
cannot serve God and Mammon; you cannot
drink of the cup of the Lord and the cup of
devils.
''Wnat are the cups of the Lord and the
cups OF devils? 'Whosoever shall give
a cup OF cold water in my name, shall have
his reward " This the speaker found to be
a key note OF Christianity, as a symbol OF
self-sacriTice for Others.
Whenever" he said, II see u public
fountain with a tin dipper chained to it,
feel like going up and inscnbing upon it,
This is the cup of the Lord 1t was this
cup from which Sir Phillip Sydney quaffed
when, in the 2 eninsIiar ca mpaign,
wounded and feverish, lying on the field
of battle, he gave the water brought to him
to a dying soldier, saying: Take and
drink, thy need is greater than mine. -
There is a new aristocracv growing in the
world-the ariEtocracy os those who labor
for others.
The Scriptures are the great cup OF the
Lord, The cup in the Scriptures represents
Gods providence, which he mixes for each
according 10 his needs. The one cup OF sal
vation III the world is the New Testament.
Men should learn TO take the cup of Gods
providence as he mixes it for them.
20 invisible spirit of wine, sIuee / have
no other name for thee / will call thee
| devil j." quoted the speaker. Intemper-
ence is the besettiug sin of the Anglo Saxon
| race that they inherited from their beer
loving ancestors A cup of devils is the cup
| from which mothers with tears and prayers
! warn young men.
But the cup of devils and the cup of wrath
do not come from God. They come from the
weaknesses of men and the malice of the
! Evil One. People make their own hell
/ gke the sinners of the old black auntie,
| +'Dey all takes dere birthstone wild dem. f"
! Itisnot thegood inthe community who make
] the dark I;;ils anu Erleo0nie priSOIls. Men
cannot walk in the ways OF the Lord and
