The Wages of Sin vs.. Eternal Life

Rev. George Rovard, superintendent
of the New Mexico mission, Of the
Methodist church, preached twice
yesterday in the Myrtle avenue church.
His sermon last night was from Ro-
mans VI:23, For the wages of sin is
life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. !"
The speaker said in part, don't read
here and there to understand an epis-
tie, but read the epist,e entire. It is
only by reading thus that you can
this text is the climax, 'o a
summary of what has gone before.
God has respect to all classes of
people, and the wages of Sin are the
same with all peoples; there is one
wages for violation of the laws of God.
The death referred to in the text. is
death in its hroadest Significance.
Physical death is the result of sin of
our first parents, it can be accounted
for in no other way. But the death of
the soul life is worse than the death of
the body. A man living with Spirit
dead and never hearing the voice of
God, is living death, death in Its
very worst form. The doors of grace
are closed in this case, never to be
opened again. The flower of life has
disappeared. preach an open gospel,
but there is an end to gospel of peace,
and there is portal, that of eternal
retributiop, eternal justice over which
is written abandon hope all ye who
enter here The service OF Oh. 1T is
one Of liberty and love.
What is sin? Christ showed the
stain of sin upon the soul. He who
trusts in self and rejects God ia a
sinner. We don't receive one half of
the blessings In the world because of
our lack of faith. Let US convert our
selves by faith into the great mamher=
ship of Gods kingdom. It is sin to
live for oneself. It is sin to distrust
God: We pray for the hill of difficulty
to be removed, and then when by our
lack of faith it is not removed, we say
Il never expected it" Let us not
distrust our father and starve the
spirit. God has offered salvation and
blessings worth more than all the
riches that the world can give They
are to b, had without money and with
out price. Death along the lines of
life of noble character is only
transition. The true religion takes
the string of death away, ana we pass
on to be with Jesus forever. 1t is not
the will of God that any man shou d
perish, but that all should have eternal
life,

tionab,y did more than any other NOR
! tai to restrict the evils of lntoXicatlon,
and it may be well to note that the
method he pursued was wholly at
variance with that which Christianity
has pursued in treating the same evil.
He simply made the use of intoxicants
sin. Instead of pursuing the maker
of Intoxicating beverages he turned
his attention to the user. ~ A second
merit of Moslemism is that the follow
er of Mohamme5 never takes usury; in
other words, he does not loan money
for hire Even in the case of postal
savings banks established by the Brl-
fish government in India, the Moham-
medan depositors, and they are very
numerous, refuse always to receive the
earned interest. (3) A third particular
~ Mohammedan virtue is the fact that
they stick to each other and refuse to
do certain acts of injustice to others of
the same faith. For instance, the
Moslem never holds one of the same
faith in bondage.

Rev. De. Morgan Dix.

Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix is the central
figure in the big celebration that is
now concentrating the bicentennial
of the foundation of the Trinity church.
He is the rector of the old church and
is, of course, one of the leading clergy
men in all the east, DIR. Dix is a New
4prkcr borns bred and educated. His
father, John A. Dix, was once govern
or of New York, and the son was sent
to Columbia college. from which he
was graduated in 1913, He had made
up hia mind early in youth that he
would devote his life to the church and
Immediately after his graduation he
began the study of theology at the
General Theological seminary and
came out of tbs st institution with his
diploma in 1852. About this time he
| was made deacon and began his car;
eer with the Protestant Episcopal
church at the chapel of ST. John in
New York. When he was ordained u
priest in 1851 be became the assistant
of DR.. Wilmer in Philadelphia. The
year following he returned to New

was given his final promotion, that of
the rectorship of the old church. which
position he has filed ever since. Trim

but he is writer of great power and
beauty. He has written an ESSAY on
Christian art, some able and scholarly
commentaries on several of the Paul
inc epistles, a volume of lectures on

several others. He has been mos
capable head of the largest and richie t
church in America, and served the in
terests of Trinity well and faithfully.

Confidence the Keynote to Success

Doubt and unbelief mean destruction
to any business, and man who loses
confidence in his own affairs finds
failure awaiting him in a short time, -
writes Evangelist Moody to his bible
class in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"Uncertaiuty disqualifies for work and
usefulness in every sphere of life. 1t
was uncertainty and doubt t. at caused
the recent state of depression in our
business interests. Financi ers and
economists differed in their views re-
garding the political causes of this
feeling of insecurity, but they general
ly agreed in directly attributing tn
reverses to the lack of assurance in
business circles. Confidence is es =
sential to success in every pursuit of
life. And this selfsame truth is no
less evident in spiritual things than it
it is in temporal. affairs. The only
Christian life that is useful to the
church of God and to fellowmen is the
one which is assured of its own saliva
ton. Distrust and unh elief mean sad
ness and care to any soul: but JOY and
rest come with the certain know
ledge Of forgiveness and favor with
God"

the field although the English greatly
J outnumbered the Scotch. This dis
proved the saying of Napoleon tina,
| God was on the side Of the man with
the most cannon.
Prayer is the strongest power in the
world. Use the means then pray. Put
on the pOultice. and God will make it
draw. To neglect the means is an in
suit to God. Faith is the Characters
tic of all great men. God can do moth
ing with discouraged man or
man, said a ship captain to Dr.. Nor
rison, mo, but God and l can" re-
oil ed the man of faith. Faith has
kept the worlds heart young and
sweet, erects hospitals ara asylums,
feeds the famine stricken, goes to the
sorrowing and lost like friend of God
or a sister of Jesus. Christianity is
yet to triumph. Every promise shall
be fulfilled. Spirituality is one of the
church's elements of power. A ship
on the sea is all right, but the sea in
the ship is all wrong. The church in
the world is all right, but the world in
the church will sink the church. No
Christian life is strong apart from God.
A spiritual church il like Gideon's 300
or Garabaldi's famous legion. Add to
spirituality another element the old
hook-lhe truth as it is in Jesus. A
church built on any other foundation is
powerless to fight sin. The truth needs
no defense, let us not pare it down, but
preach it whole and entire. Then with
prayer faith, spirituality, truth, as our
al NOR let US add unity, and such
church will conquer if it has to go
throgh the very gates of hell! Awake.
Oh Zion, put on thy strength.

Her WAY of Doing 1t.

The fatuous policy of Spain in Cuba
is shown in her taxation laws. All
that Cuba exports is taxed and all she
imports, Spain has commercially
crushed Cuba. The Spanish policy
has led the Americans, the greatest
customers of Cuban sugar, to undertake
beet root culture and soon the United
States will be independent of the cane
supply. a writer of excellent oppor-
tun1ties for knowing Cuban conditions
says: Under tho most favorable cir
cumstances Cuba has great problems
before her, but if she is To be burdened
by the vast war debt that Spain is

The Organ Concert.

Prof Smith gave his fifth organ
recital last Saturday night in ST. Gle
ment's church to the largest audience
that has yet attended these now pop
ular musical entertainments. The
offertoire in d by Batiste and the
allegretto in b flat were the best
received, and showed off the musician
ship of the performer to marked ad-
vantage. The storm number by Wely
required more than the Instrument
was able to give, so that the artist was
obliged to leave out the heaviest work
which can only be adequately given on
a four manual organ. The more
pastoral strains were beautifully given.
The allegretto in B fiat is a charming
little composition which was written
by the composer and dedicated the
Prof. Smith.
The audience was much impressed
with the abilities Of the talented organ
ist from Chester Cathedral in England,
and the visitors present from the east
were especially pleased. Sr. Concho,
the solo clarinet of the McGinty band,
scored success in his obligatO in the
Haendel selection. He brings out a
beautiful, clear and sweet tone from
his clarinet, and the public will be
gratified on hearing from him again.
The Mepdelssohn vocal solo of Mr..
Slater showed him possessed of natural
ly powerful and sOnorous voice, and
little Miss Smith has d true, sweet
voice which has been heard with pleas
ure before.
1t is encouraging to note that the at
tendance is Increasing at these organ
recitalS.

early in the first half, and time was

in possession of the ball and within
ten yards of Winchester's goal line.
None of the players were 80 badly in

three really had the wind butted out
of them, but came around all right

All of the accidents In football
have occurred either in mass plays or
in scrimmages and have been due to
the violence of the collisions. u
We wish to call attention to the fol-
lowing rule:
Rule 81. ta) If a PLAYER having
the ball be tackled and the movement
of the ball stopped. or If the player
cry "down," the Referee shall blow
his whistle end the side holding the
bali shall put it down for scrimmage
AS soon as runner attempting to 60
through is tackled and goes down, or
whenever runner having the ball in
his possession cries "down." the Ref
cree shall blow his whistle and the
ball shall be considered down on that
spot. ANY piling up on the man after
that shall be punished by giving him
fifteen yards.
Mass and momentum plays are
being done away with. Reference to
the above rule will show that the
runner or Referee, either or both, can
control the piling up that seems so
objectionable--to the spectator.
