THE MODERN PHARISEE."
Thc Su' iect of a Very Fine Sermon al
The Tahernacle Last Night

Thc Su' iect of Very Fine Sermon at
The Tabernacle Last Night.
The people who braved the storm last
night to go to the Tabernacle church to
hear Rev. l.. &. Broughton, were fully
repaid for their trouble. They heard a
splendid sermon.
Mr.. BrOughtOn is now living at Roam
oke, Va, pastor Of the Baptist church
there. He is a brother Of MIR. y. 3.
BrOughton and stopped over here ON his
way from the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton. He will be here for several days
and will preach again tonight. His
subject will be the ''Enduement of the
Holy Spirit"
Last night he took his text from the
18th chapter of Luke and made the wo-
man who broke the aTabaster box of
ointment on Christ's feet the subject Of
his discourse. Among other things, he
said:
"A great many people think that all the
business Il woman has in the kingdom of
God is to now and then hold an oyster
or ice-cream supper"
Zone of the greatest curses we have
to-day is the I'harisee-the separatist-
the man who cannot judge any question
except from his own standpoint
y
Don't spurn the low and the vile. 1t
is possible to find IA diamond in ditch.
Christ looks at the soul value. One soul
is worth as much as another.
Those open, big-hearted, vile fellows
make the best of Christians. The shrunk-
EN-. misery, exclusive Pharisee will never
make a good Christian, or u good any
thing else. Their souls are shriveled and
dried up
Did you ever see Pharisee? No use
to go back to Bible times to find one.
There are thousands of them on the
streets every day. The spirit of Pharisee
ism is abroad in the land. Professions
are worth little. The sun rises silently.
All the cowbells are not rung, all the tin
horns are not footed to let you know the
sun is shining. But all the world knows
it. Silently and smihngly it rises, walks
through the heaven, and as silently sinks
to rest. still smiling, rejecting back it's
light to the stars and MOON"
Il used to think the woman who broke
the alabaster box of ointment, as related
in this chapter was an outcast-a harlOt.
That is not true. She was a rich woman.
cultivated and high in social position.
Who called her a sinner? The Pharisee.
Why did he call her Il sinner? Because
she didn't belong to his church.
Christ says this woman was a sinner.
Why? Because she was unregenerate.
He who is not in Christ is sinner in
Gods sight
Some people are powerful particular
about the crowd they are caught with on
some occasions, and on some others they
are not so particular. Some time ago a
certain young lady was visiting in my
town. She was invited to sing at "A little
social entertainment in my church. In
the choir were some splendid young girls,
but poor. She came and saw them and
was taken violently i'll. | soon found out
what was the matter with her. She
said She couldn't afford to be found in
such n crowd. All the Pharisees are not
dead"

TURKEYS PLANS SUSPECTED.

Feeling That She May Ignore the Pow
ers and Their Mediation.
London, May IA despatch to the
Standard from ConstantinOple says:
1T is reported that orders have been
sent out for the mobilization of the fifth
and sixth army corps reserves, stationed
at Bagdad and in Syria, and for the
immediate despatch of fifty battalions to
Konieh, from which point they will be
taken to Ismeed, in Asia Minor.
These preparations, which involve an
expense that Turkey is quite unable to
bear, cannot be required against Greece
and they excite anxiety, as indicating
that Turkey is preparing either to con-
front a more formidable foe or to place
herself in such a strong position that she
will be able to ignore the powers and
their plan of mediation.
