Ject was referred to in the Register
two weeks ago, but a full publication

Rev. NJ. Hutchinson, president of the
Methodist Seminary at Buckhannon.
delivered a learned and forceful sermon
to large congregation at Fourth
Street NJ E. Church last night.
His theme was Sacrifice" and he i'm
pressed the fact upon his hearers that
it was only by making this the pre-
vailing principle of their lives that
true happiness could be secured. His
sermon was drawn from the words of
the apostle who exorted the people to
lay down their lives for othersA God
is love- The term of love describes God
more adequately than any other. Christ
laid down his life for us. Actions are
said to speak louder than words Goa
does not attempt to convince us alone
by the Bible, but in a way which could
not be misunderstood. He laid down
his life for us. Therefore, the Apos-
tie says we should lay down our lives
for each other We are not called upon
to be martyrs, for most of us never
have the opportunity. The doctrine OF
love brings the idea of sacrifice, TO give
the best in us, the best we have, Tor
the world, for Christ gave his life TO
save the world This is a different phi
losophy from what the world teaches.
1t tells each man to look out for him.
self This philosophy is vicious from
its very foundation.
The great danger of modern times
is that this principle OF sacrifice is lest
sight of in the rush of business and in
the hurry and turmoil Of our civiliza-
ton To lay down our lives for our
brethren may mean many a heartache,
a loss of nervous force, a sacrifice or
hopes and ambition, yet we gain in
Christ more than we lose. We can
lay down our lives for our brethren
and be happy, for the true idea of sac
riace is happiness. In this principle is
the sinecure for al burdens and lphap-
piness in the world Happiness does
not exist in selfish endeavor. 1t only ex
lists in the highest type of unseltishneSs
and we cannot get it any other way.
There is work, great or enduring, that
does not mean sacrifice and every great
achievement has only been won by
hardshps. at the cost of many a night
Of toll, and a day of labor Wherever
we see this spirit of sacrifice manifest
ed, there happiness prevails, whether
in the home or in the various branches
OF human activity. The greatest and
the profoundest sacrifices are made in
the most joyful spirit.
The speaker said the great difficulty
to-day was to get people to realize this
fact. In conclusion he said that it
would be useless for person to try to
win happiness by attempting to do
their duties in cod. conventional
manner. 1t had to be done in a spirit
of sympathy, backed by true spirit of
Christianity. This spirit could only be
gotten by drawing from the fullness Of
Gods love.

1.-THE PRODIGAL SON"
An Excellent Discourse on Familiar
Theme at the Y. NJ. &. a.

An Excellent Discourse on a Familiar
Theme at the Y. NJ. &. A.
Rev. w. w. Smith, Of Berea, Ohio,
gave an illustrated talk yesterday
afternoon at the Y. NJ. c. A., taking for
the subject Of his address the story Of
the "Prodigal Son He gave some of
the reasons why the young men of the
present generation are becoming prod
igals. Among some Of the reasons
mentioned, was Sabbath breaking
taking excursions. going to base ball
games, bicycle riding, etc. Another
was the failure to read the Bible and
follow it as the rule of conduct in every
day life.
Getting money without fairly and
squarely earning it was another source
of evil to young men, Commencing
with games of chance in early youth
he forms tee habit of gambling,
and thus destroys his usefulness for
honest toll. 1t leads him to deeds of
dishonesty and destroys the incentive
to earn money honestly. Another ruin
ing tendency was to spend money be-
fore it was earned. A young man
should go in patches rather than wear
a fine suit of clothes that are unpaid
for. Young men also spend money as
fast as they make it, and consequently
do net cultivate the habit of saving and
economy that is essential to success.
Young men are becoming prodigals be-
cause they do not pray. thus lose hold
of God, tie source Of all power, and
drift into the whirlpool of sin. Sensu-
ality is another and probably the great
est course that Is destroying the lives
Of young men and their best hopes.
The speaker made mis- remarks the
more impressive by displaying canvass
pictures of incidents in the career of
the biblical character of the Prodigal
Son, who returned home and was for
given after living in the depths Of sin
and despair. He drew some impressive
lessons from these pictures and gave
advice that was worthy TO be needed.
