dom OF Heaven

III w othSi way IAN iS thC
dom OF Heaven.
"An interview with Christ was the topic
upon which Rev. DIR. Oliver A. Brown
preached to his congregation yesterday
morning at Foundry NJ. E. Church.
DR.. Brown said that that conversation of
Jesus with Nicodemus, as told in the third
chapter OF the Gospel, according to st. John.
was one of the most memorable and remark
able in the life of Our Lord. Christ began
the discourse with the words of the text
which form one of the chief corner-stones of
the temple of religion: "Verily. verify, l say
unto you. except a man be horn again, he
cannot enter the kingdom of heaven
The speaker then described the character
of Nicodemus-a representative of the best
culture of the Jews and of the world-a gen.
tleman OF intelligence, a Pharisee, acquainted
with the best thought OF the day. This man
knew of the kingdom of heaven Was he not
one of the sons of Abraham? He thought
that he had birthright in this kingdom. But
Christ answered. his thought; told him that
this birthright does not avail him: that there
must be change OF heart; that he must pe
born again.
DIR. Brown said that candor compelled him
to mention the subject of human depravity
not named SO often but to make jest of it.
But some one says: How about morals?'' Il
Will answer tne queSllon Dy ASKING: WHAT
will you do with the marksman who almost
hits the mark? What will you do with the
artist who paints picture almost like the
original? What will you do with the man
who is almost Christian?
''This religion demands that all men be
born again Its universally is absolute. 1t
has shaken the foundations of empires. 1t
has oyerthrown PHILOSOPHERS. 1t is revolu-
ton, and its future shall be grander than its
past.
.'Here is man whose face is radiant with
charities. whose heart is full of love to his
fellow men. They come to the doorways of
the Kingdom Of heaven and they see written
over them in words of fire except man be
born again he cannot enter the kingdom OF
heaven These yistpes, lovely though they
are are not enough
'.We, perhaps, .Mye erred in presenting
this question; We have too often made it one
of fear rather than Of love. 1t is gracious
privilege that is extended to you.. You may
be born again God forbid that any one of
you leave this house without bearing the bur-
den of this truth.

THEIR HISTORY INCOMPLETE.
DR.. Newman's Sermon Upon the Life an,
Work of the Apostles.

DR.. Newman'S Sermon Upon the Life and
Work of the Apostles.
At the evening service in the First Congre-
gational Church. the pastor, Rev. DIR. S. NJ.
Newman. took rs the subject OF his sermon
"A general view of the apostles and their
work" In the course of his remarks DR..
Newman said:
IAN apostle is one who is sent forth, and
Christ's ap ostIes themselves felt that their
distinguishing qualification was their per-
sonal relationship with Christ through all his
ministry, their main office being to witness
the resurrection. This was not their only
work. however, for we have recorded many
instances o. their healing the sick and per-
forming other works of charity and mercy in
the name of the Lord.
'.0f the history of the apostles we have
almost no authentic knowledge beyond what
is stated in the New Testament The history
of the Acts tells little about any OF the apos-
ties except Peter and Paul, and precisely with
regard to these names the statements OF the
book have been made the subject of critical
controversy.
The later history of Peter has an artificial
interest from the importance attached by the
Roman Church to his episcopate at Rome
and the history fJohn is involved with the
question OF the genuineness of the Johannlne
writings. Early tradition associates Phillip
with Phrygia, Thomas with Parthia. Andrew
with Scythia, and Bartholomew with India.
Later traditions make the apostles divide the
various countries between them by lot and
assert, against earlier traditions, however.
that all except John were martyrs. But of
the detailed history of each apostles life and
work we have no knowledge whatever

FAIHERHoop OF GOD.

1t Is the Essential Principle Underlying
the Greed of the Uniyersalist.
"Universalism and the character Of God
was the topic upon which Rev. A. G. Rogers
spoke last night at the Church of Our Father,
corner of l. and Thirteenth streets.
I'm every church of this city," he said,
''you will find much of Universalism preached;
it is in the thought of the times. But we
preach Universalsm lot as hope, but as
something more: not the larger hope theol-
ogy' OF Browning, Tenuyson, and Canon
Farrar, but a certainty.
..The foundation OF our belief is what We
know about God. This idea of God upon
which we base our belief is a progressive
one The doctrine which Jesus Christ
taught, not dogmatIcally. but in His life, was
the fatherhood of.GoJ. My orthodox brother
finds himself sadly hampered by his desire TO
teach Gods fatherhood, and creed sadly at
variance with ii.
'.Uniyersalism teaches that God Is father.
and as father is imminent in His creation:
that creation is Gods enjoyment: that not
one being is born into the world without His
knowledge and without its birth being Joy
and pleasure to Him.
''But fatherhood means an obligation.
God must be Just. He created US. His chill
dren voluntarily; involuntarily We enter the
world. He must care for His children; to be
faithful to Himself He must lie faithful to
His children. He must not only care for me:
He must educate me, not only here, but He
must complete my education until 1 become Il
faithful, obedient, loving son.
''But what of Gin? Man chose, in the exer-
else of his free will, to be educated by sin and
sorrow. God will not abandon His purpose.
His will is infinite and UniversaIism believes
that it is a part OF HIS purpose to save you.
This will of His will pursue you into the hell
OF hells: will finally win you voluntarily until
love and obedience become 5oy."

HER CASE is A SAD ONE.
Pretty Sadie Herzos Has Become a
Drunken fiag and Yaerant.

Pretty Sadie Herzog Has Become a
Drunken Hag and yagrant.
Sadie Herzog is again in the tolls She is
locked up at No. police station with the
charge OF yagrancy opposite her name.
This womans story is a pathetic one. A
few years ago she was pretty, viyacious Sadie
Burke. In those days she used to say that
she had "a long string to her bow, . for Sadie
was courted and admired by many young
gallants Being from a good family she was
many times the central figure OF q gay throng
OF merrymakers.
One night white attending party she was
induced TO take the fatal first glass of wine,
and her downward career commenced from
that ill-omened moment. She then realized
that the hereditary faint OF alcohol was in her
veins. and she has gone from bad to worse
until Low the poor woman has become a
regular irequenter of the workhouse and ap-
pears 10 be a life prisoner in the chains of old
king alcohol.
Although not over twenty-five years Of age
Sadie's features are drink-bloated and dis
torted, and sne looks like bag of fifty.
Some time ago she married soldier musi-
clan. named Herzog, in the hope that this
ne% lie OF the home might lead her away
from strong drink. But it failed. and this
morning the trembling creature will again be
found in the police court dock.
She was arrested while very drunk in the
Baltimore and Ohio depot by Policeman
Brady and Railroad Special Green.

coMBArs INGERsoLL's IDEA.

Hon. E. A. Morse Discusses the Topic
christianity VS.. Infidelity.'
The announcement that the Hon. E. A.
Morse, Of Massachusetts, would discuss
christianity vs.. Inidelity' last night at the
Eastern Presbyterian Church attracted a
large audience. every seat being occupied.
Mr. Morse said that. like the ugly man who
broke the mirror because it reflected his own
unhandsome features, Col IngersoIl and 9TH
ers who would destroy the Bible are actuated
by the knowledge that it contains descrip-
ton of their own evil ways. Col Ingersoll
reads in the Bible that ''the fool hath said in
his heart, there is no God" He reads also
that 1.-The wicked shall be turned into hell, -
and he wants to smash the book.
The speaker then quoted the last words of
eminent men who died testifying their belief
in God and the future existence.
''Iugersoll demands to know i: any one has
ever seen God, and argues from the negative
that thereis no such Being. Has any one
eyer seen Mr.. Ingersolls brains?" inquired
Mr. Morse.
"Ingersoll says there are 800 contradictions
in the Bible. and argues that there is no
God
"The contradictions are chiefly in Mr.. In
gersoll's own brain, and the alleged conclu-
sion that God has no existence is made by
thosewho can contemplate the wonderful
solar system, the magnificent armament, the
gems in the planetary system, this world Of
ours, and confess that his question is not an
swerad to his satisfaction.
"A Jewish rabbi once studied the Bible for
a year in an effort to prove the falsity oil
Christ but az the end OF that term he con-
fessed his conviction that the hated Nazarene
was no pretender.
I'm the light of the evidence we have. we
say, in all candor, if Mr.. IngersoIl has a bet.
ter God than ours, he should produce him
but until then he is powerless to check the
progress of Christianity"
