all three and grasped all three as muct
as in him lies. The ideal tendencie:
of athletics today is to make men o.
brain as we'll as Drawn, with spirituality
10 balance both. And the y. M. G. A
aims to accomplish this. The associa
ton has brOadened from the narrow
limits of it's earlier history to where it
now includes in its mem Oershlp, Jew,
Gentle. Catholic and men of no religion
although of course the active member
sbipis confined to protesting christians.
A well rounded man should be.mentally,
morally and physically strong. There
should be physical regeneration in the
bOdv as we'll as in the soul because it is
reflex in its action. In nine cases out
of ten. it is the fault of the ministers
that more young men are not brought
into the church. When man OF
religious character wears long face,
he does great detriment to the cause.
If there is anything that can bring sun
LIGHT into a mans soul, it is religion.
| There are many men who will not go
into a church, but who can be got into
the Y. M G.. A, where SO many men
| have dropped their bonds OF sin: more
in this place in fact than anywhere else
| If we knew the law as we should, we
would never know what it was to be
sick. No man should grow old until he
is IS, and then he should grow old
gracefully. Three score years and ten
are not the real spiritual limit. Isaih
ILXV:2O fixes a mans age at 100 years.
Genesis VI:3 puts it at l2O. Really, l4O
wears ought to be the limit of mans
| life. Every animal lives to five times
the age of its growth, and man does
not attain to his full growth until 20.
The savage did not begin to degenerate
physically until he came to initiate the
ways of the white man. If you violate
natures laws you must pay the penalty.
We are instruments in the hands OF the
divine will, and even God himself can
not work without your assistance and
part.
The speaker then said he would re-
fer to two strong subjects, whiSkey and
tobacco. If after you leave this gym
nasium you put tobacco or whisky in
your mouth you undo all the good
gained by the physical exercise. When
the pugilist is in training he knows full
we'll that he must give up both of these
things or not train, for he knows that
the stimulous to be gained from whisky
and tobacco is not the stimulOus to
stand by him in the contest. All the
same the speaker disliked prohibition
exceedingly: would use persuasive
methods rather than be compulsory in
such things. He said there was tenn
will take into his system what he |
knows in detrimental to i, ought to
suffer. And in this connection the speak !
err referred to the cigarette tiends: and |
called attention to the recent quadruple |
murder and suicide by a Pennsylva- |
MAN who used Is or 20 packages of |
cigarettes daily. Tobacco makes us |
irritable; it disturbs the nervous sys-
TEN, impairS the memory and under
mines the general health. The mamie
man has entire control over his entry
organization.
Prof. Warman closed with further
pertinent remarks about the necessity |
of proper observance of the laws of
health, and the necessity OF abstinence
from deleterious things. He also ad-
vised a system of calisthenics every
on rising, such as bending
the body backwards and forwards and
sideways and touching the floor in
front of the feet without bending the
knees He speaks tonight on the del
sarte philosophy of expression in the
Y. NJ. G. a. where many will be
pleased to hear him. The speaking is in
the gymnasium which provides the asso-
citation with an excellent auditorium.
and the seating accommodations are
excellent, as the seats of the Chopin
hall have been moved in there. The
music yesterday was furnished by
vocal quartet consisting Of Messrs.
Davenport, Sloane. Watson and Rok-
abr, and instrumental accompaniment
for congregational singing was furnish
ed by a sextet of two horns, two comets
a violin and stringed bass, with Miss
Richie at the organ. Mr.. Watson's
solo was very credltaole.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Rev. H. w. Moore preached to a
packed house as usual yesterday morn
ing from the text, The Loru Reign
eth, =" Psalms XClI[:l. He said in part;
The doctrine of the sovereignty of God, !
the spirit that sees God in all things
from the throb of an earthquake to the
nurmur of the bee, from the fall of the
sparrow to the making of the world, in
our joys and sorrows, have given to the
world her great reformerS, patriots,
generals, inaugurated the great epochs
Of history, given liberty and free insti-
tutions to the world: it has made men
rise from fallen fortunes, and homes
1arkened by death, put more courage
IN the hearts of sin sick humanity than
almost any other doctrine in the word
Of God. This great truth expounded :
BY John Calvin ended in self govern
ment in the church and the state. 1t
gave civil and religious liberty to
Germany, Switzerland, France, Eng
land, Scotland and America. 1t has
made the Presbyterian church one of
the mighty powers in history. Motley,
Guyot, Froude, Bancroft, the histor-
Ians, say, that civil liberty was born in
the brain of John Calvin. Bancroft
says, he who will not honor the memo
~ OF John Calvin knows little of Amer
lean liberty. The NJ ecklenburg, N. c.,
declaration of independence from the
Presbyterian members of North
Carolina, was issued one year before
Mr.. Jefferson's, and from it and the
of the Presbyterian church
Of Scotland, says Chief Justice Tillmau,
the trainers of our constitution borrow
ed much. The effect of this doctrine
on character has been to give the world
the grandest of men, men able to face
the greatest crisis, world movers. This
doctrine takes away fear, it aliases man
and exalts God. If there is a man on
earth to whom God is near, it is the
Calvinist. All the world movers have
taken, for the rallying cry, eff God re
for US, who can be against us"' Such
