real substantial virtue. Without foun-
dation one cannot hope to erect a stately
ediflce. Humility is the foundation, the
other virtues are the superstructure.
Christ was a despiser of the proud Of
heart, as evidenced from his conduct
toward the Scribes and Pharisees. He
was the lover of the humble. Humility
was always His favorite virtue, His
ever beloved friend, his ever constant
companion. He was the model. the ex-
emplar of all the virtues. In all He de-
sired us to initiate Him. but in regard to
humility He added eXhortation to ex-
ample. Learn of me to be meek and
humble of heart" He never said: Learn
of me to work miracles or wonders, to be
kind and charitable, learned or wise. but
simply to be truly meek and humble of
heart.
In all the requirements and duties of
religion, the humble man is never found
wanting. Who are they who remain
away from sermons and religious in
structions? Who are they that fail to
show mercy and charity toward GODS
afflicted ones? Who are they whose
hearts are the dwelling places of envy,
of resentment, of ambition? They are
the proud of heart, the self-conceited,
the vain.

wherever you find excellence it is al
ways accompanied by humility. GEN
lus or talent never boasts. The empty of
head and the empty Of heart are the
braggarts. They are the ones who un-
Intentionally make public exhibition
of their almost infinite nothingness.
The man whose heart is STEPPED In
pride and self-conceit cuts a sorrier
figure than the proverbial beggar on
horseback. He is out of his element
He arrogates to himself the quality of
superior being, which he is not. The
humble man knows himself, recognizes
his littleness and his absolute depend
ence on God, and refers to Him alone the
glory of all he is, and all that he pos
sesses.
We hear much of the brotherhood of
man. There are many fine phrases spun
concerning the ties of affection that
should bind mankind together. The wise
have expatiated eloquently on the beau
ties of living in piece and harmony,
but such a state of affairs, so devoutly
to be desired will never be consummated
until men fully realize the vastness and
the importance of the virtue so dear to
the Masters heart-Christian humility.

THE UNIVERSALiST
The Rev. nr. Rice's Address on "Origlnal
Christianity"

The Rev. nr. Rice's Address on "Origlnal
Christianity"
Rev. Mr.. Rice, for the Universallsts,
spoke on Original Christianity yester-
day, taking as his text John viii, 10:
II came that ye may have life"
The whole Christian world testifies to
the fact that the supreme object of Jesus
was to give life to the world, said the
speaker Again He has said He came
to save the people from their, sins. Put
ting these two together it is evident that
doing right, or morality is the essence
of life.
The moral law of Moses was far super
ior to that of any nation of his day and
the teaching of Jesus was that law
made perfect the decalogue refined.
Thou shalt not kill" is made by h i'm.
Thou shalt not even be angry with a
brother" "Thou shalt not commit
think evil Everywhere He is saying,
DO good to them that hate you, bless
them pray for them"
But since men, by looking at Jesus too
long and too intently find their vision
distorted, to show what original Chris
tianity is look at His followers, the
npolistic fathers with whom we are not
so familiar. Their lives corroborate
what we perceive concerning Him.
Outside of Scripture we have authentic
history regarding Jesus disciples and
those others Immediately following
them. We have first the testimony of
the enemies of Christianity.
Plinius Secundus, one of the most dis
tinguished governors at first Of the Sec
Ond century, said: ''The Christians
did nothing wicked OR contrary to the
laws. Adultery, murder and excesses
like these were toaly abhorred by
them"
Justin. a Greek philosopher. said:
when heard the Christians caluminat-
pect of death, reflected that it was i'm
possible they should live devoted to vice
and voluptuOusness When the great
Polycarp was about to be burned, threat
ened first with the wild beasts if he did
not swear by the genius of Ceasar he
said: We have no reason to repent
from the better to the worse, but 1t is
good to change from wickedness to vir-
tue " And scores Of Christian martyrs
facing the most agonizing deaths coolly
spoke the great moral truths burning in
them. A story told by Clement of Alex
andria of John, the beloved disciple of
Jesus, in his old age, makes Christian
to say concerning an extremely immoral
young man of that day: He is dead to
God. He has turned out wicked and
abandoned" which clearly shows that
to be immoral is to be irreligious or that
morality was the accepted religion. The
most astonishing thing in the lives of
these early Christians is that under the
most cruel prosecutions, even to death
there is no record left of hands raised
against the prosecutors The spirit of
retaliation was entirely destroyed by
the moral fire within them. Illustra-
tions of this fact are the many cases
where, with their last painful breath.
the Christians prayed God to forgive
their tormentors. Original Christianity
then is refined morality where ami
mostly is slain and sacrifice enthroned.

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

cation

Rev. DR.. Fowler, on his return, finds
good audiences returning to him at the
Y. M. C. A. hail. His choir, led by Mrs.
Auer, are also an inspiration. The morn
ing sermon yesterday was From Fam
inc to Fullness, the text being in I. Kings
xviii, 13: "And Elijah said unto her,
Fear not. Go and do as thou hast said.
But make me thereof q little cake first,
and after make for thee and for thy
son." After picturing the country for
two years without rain, and the desola-
tion in Israel and beyond in Zidon, he
showed the great faith of the widow in
receiving Elijah when she had but a
handful of meal in a barrel and little
oil in a cruise.
Practical lessons of deep interest
were drawn from the incident.
One was: Take God at his word.
This exhortation was needed. How
many of our churches are as Doubling
Castle? How many Christians, pro-
fessedly the temple of the Holy Ghost,
as gloomy and dour as the cave of the
giant Despair? Faith halts even at the
threshold of Gods house itself. Not to
do injustice to any, apply the simple
test The Lord says: Where two or
three are gathered in my name, there
am T." not there I will be" even, but
"there I am" Did we believe and real
ize that truth as we entered the door
yonder?
We halt before the privilege and pow
er of prayer He invites us to ask, but
we fail to receive largely because we do
not expect to receive.
Another message of the widow would
be: "Give to God and he will give TO
you" It is Gods great law of compen-
sation. The widow found God lordly
paymaster. And SO now the liberal soul
shall be made fat. Whether it be money
or service given, the Lord keeps the ac-
count, and no work and labor Of love is
in vain in the Lord.
But last lesson was about order In
giving. Though the widow has SO little,
yet the prophet said: make me cake
iirst, and after make for thee and for
thy son." A great principle is here. God
is ever to be first served. He required
the first fruits Of the field, the firstling
Of the flock and the herd. The lamb for
the sacrifice was to be perfect in kind.
And 90 the Lord still demands the iirst

The force of the collision stopped the

controlled. No damage was done to
either vehicle, but the injured horse
was fatally hurt and expired within a
few minutes after he had been struck.

ARMAMENT FOR BATTLE SHIPS.
Report Of the Ordnance Bureau Shows
Number of Guns Needed.

Number of Guns Needed.
The annual report of Capt. Sampson,
chief of the naval ordnance bureau,
shows that great deal of work has
been done during the past fiscal year
toward the armament of the ships of
the navy.
Up to date the bureau has built $50
guns of larger caliber, has SO partly COM
pleted, and has condemned only two.
All of the six-inch guns on band are to
be converted into rapid-firing guns as
soon as funds are available. The APP
preparation of $3.50, 900 for reserve guns
is being utilized to construct two s.
inch, two 12-inch, and two 13-inch guns,
and these, with those previously au-
thorized, will supply the needs of the
naval service for some time, leaving the
only appropriation needed that for
guns to arm the auxiliary cruisers.
Much difficulty has been experienced
with brown powder in the large caliber
guns, and an escape from this by the in
PRODUCTION of smokeless powder of this
type for the use of the smaller caliber
is now being made, and it will be issued
soon for all calibers mp to six-inch. A
large number of five and six-inch pro-
jectiles is still needed, and the bureau
strongly urges that it be authorized to
acquire a reserve store as the projec-
tiles improve by the lapse of time.
During the past year 2,262 tons Of
armor have been delivered, of which
6s4 tons were reforged plates. The de-
liveries under the old contracts have
been completed, and the makers are
showing great activity in taking up the
work on the new plates, so that it is
predicted the construction of the new
ships will not be delayed for want of
armor.
