The Allegory of
Haqar and Sarah.

]. NJ. Buehler, pastor of st. PauPs
Lutheran Church, spoke yesterday on q
text from Galatians, iv:21-31.
In his introdu ductory remarks the pastor
referred to the amazing subject, for the
special consideration of which this pres
ent season of the church year-Lent-is
set apart, the sufferings and death of the
Redeemer. This subject was declared to
be the very essence OF the gospel, as the
glad tidings of redemption.
The personal interest in this gospel OF
redemption was urged as of paramount
interest to every individual.
The pastors subject was: The allegory
OF Hagar and Sarah as a most instructive
illustration of mans relation to God un-
der the law and under the gospel. Atten-
ton was called first to the universal ap-
plication of the subject 10 all men. they
all being of necessity either under the law
or under the gospel second to the spirit OF
antagonism of the children OF the law
against the children of the gospel; third,
TO the consequences resulting respectively
from the two opposing positions, COD
judgement being the rejection OF ihose
that are under the law, as having failed to
comply with its requirements and accept
ance of those that are under the gospel,
as such that have by faith appropriated
the promise, realized in our redemption
through Christ
In conclusion the pastor urged his hear
ers TO CONSIDER their own standing In TINS
matter, to beware OF remaining children
of bondage under the law, as 1t Will De

Is Five Any

Rev. Frank D. Ford OF the Christian
Church preached yesterday morning on
the subject, "Is Five More Than Ten?''
His text was from Matthew xiii % "a /;
Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees.
hypocrites, for We tithe the mint and
anise and cummin, and have left undone
the weightier matters of the law. judg-
ment and mercy and faith; but these ye
ought to have done, and not TO have left
the other undone. Ye blind guides W hich
strain out the gnat and swallow the
camel"
He said in part: SIN some things, espe-
cialiy religion, most people have the wo-
fully unmathematical habit Of esteeming
the part as greater than the whole. They
are so absor bed in detail that they lose
the entire thought of completion, as a
builder, having p palace to build, spends
his life IL erecting and embellishing one
column.
''The fault is greater in their eyes than
q character whose entire design is a thin e
of beauty They forget that the Lie is
more than food and the body is more than
raiment,' and they place the mote that is
in their neigh boris character so near and
the beam of their own SO far that the for
mer entirely obscures the latter.
I'VE have a tendency to weigh essen
tials as far greater than an entire life OF
conservation; one fault of doctrine, one
omission in faith. repentance. confession,
baptism, continuing faithful as greater
than life of self-sacriicing Christianity.
1--WE are not a sum, We are, and while
every five should have its full value, no
five is greater than all which Is to be
found in Christ"

persecution so harmful as the speclous
plea for freedom in thought and in con-
duct. We cannot free ourselves from
truth and from our relations to God.
The will is free but the intellect must ac-
cept the truth when reasonably presented.
The will may harden the heart and close
the eyes, but the truth remains-to our
responsibility and peril. In the flights OF
so-called reason some may strive to rise
above the encompassing truth which sur
rounds rs, but they rise to an atmos phere
SO rarified that the soul perishes and the
body Is dashed down again to its destruc-
ion.
at is in Christ and his truth wherewith
we are made free. In his truth and in his
church we find freedom from error,
doubt aud anxiety. When the word
of truth comes freighted with his
promise and the grace of the Holy
Ghost, we acknowledge our belief and are
freed from the strivings of those whose
religious thoughts. professedly free, are
shaped and shaded by their own personal
vagar1es. We are lifted above our petty
selves into a true conception OF Gods pur
pose in our creation and Liberation. Ii
faithful, we are freed, not alone from
error, but from evil as well, by the posses
sion of him wherewith we were made
free-tne prison er of the eucharist in the
tender bondage of that love which brought
him down from heaven, which led him to
take upon himself the bonds of poor
humanity-poverty. humiliation and per-
secution, and made US free"

The Rev. DR.. w. D. Williams. until re-
Gently pastor of Plymouth church.
preached yesterday morning in st. Johns
Presbyterian Church Sermon for the
Season." He said:
"All Christian effort is a kind OF sowing.
Everywhere he goes he scatters the seeds
OF happiness and bliss. Life is springtime
and the gathering years are lengthening
days calling TO constant endeavors. The
husbandman goeth forth weeping; he re-
turneth rejoicing. His Joy is real and
deep. And yet his harvest in its fullness
Is IN the future. Baff1ed to-day he sue
ceeds to- morrow. 1t was a maxim of old
Rome never TO despair of the republic. 1,
should be ours never TO despair of man
kind. For as the oak is contained in the
acorn and the fruit is wrapped UP in the
blossom so the seedtruth which shall in
spire and redeem this world, Is q handful
OF corn upon the top of the mountains;
the fruit thereof shall spake as Lebanon.
Some think they may esca pc the laws
OF sowing anu reaping. Napoleon thought
he could outwit eternal justice and it
swept him away with furious blast, as II
he were only a straw upon its path. Fill
life with goodness. Let there be the daily
ministry of love. Then will Joy come. II
we SOW foolishly and sinfully we make
shlpwrecks of our noblest natures and lose
the wealth of life. Why use the power OF
a king TO feed the passions OF slave ?'

The Two Great
Commandments.

Rev. J. S. David of the Swedenborg
Mission Society began his discourse at
WASHINGTON Hall yesterday by reading
article of the constitution of the society,
which reads: This society ho DIS that the
two great commandments OF the law. en-
join ing love for the Lord and love of the
eighbor, are the essentials of all genuine
religion. On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets
differences OF opinion in matters of doc
trine should not be made cause of schism
or separation so long as the two great es-
sentials are acknowledged and made the
basis OF action"
After describing Zechariab's vision of
the two olive trees as the sym bols OF the
two loves-love for God and love fo- man
he continued:
The love OF. God is more than the love
of any mental image IF him; 1t is the
love of goodness and truth, of purity, JUS
tice, harmony and use; for of these God
is the essence and origin. And yet the
love OF God is more tnan this, for God Is
more than q principle. An abstract prin-
ciple cannot love and think; God is love
and wisdom; he is infinite consciousness,
infinite Man. We may love honesty, but
honesty, as an abstra ction. cannot love us.
God loves US and that love gives us power
to love him, and thus our union with him
is reciprocal. The love OF the neighbor is
one with this. 1t is the love OF the good
and the true in him, and the desire to aid
in their development. 1t is the love of
serving the individual and the community
from the unselfish love of use. He who
willingly lives an idle life; he who lives

The Literature Of
the New Testament,

The third in the series of the Rev. Will
liam Raiders sermons On The Literature
OF the New Testament was delivered yes
terday. He said in part:
1.-The four gospels were written by
business man. missionary, doctor and
a poet preacher. They are the four biog-
raphies or memoirs of Christ. written from
different points OF view and each inde-
pendent of the other. Matthew'S gospel
was comp posed of an original manuscript
called The Oracles, written in Hebrew;
Marks from the savings of Peter, of whom
he was the interpreter; Luke's from the
words of Paul, and Johns from his own
knowledge of Jesus. Johns gospel is
original with him and continuous mar
rative. The other gospels are called sy-
noptic.
"These biographies do not agree in every
particular. In the main particulars they
are in substantial agreement, but the
claim for verbal inspiration must be sur
rendered when we face the discrepancies
of these accounts. The genealogies of our
Lord, one in Matthew and one in Luke,
are different. They agree from Abraham
to David, but from David to Christ, Mat
thew makes twenty-eight generations and
Luke thirtv-eight. One gives Jacob as
the father OF Jose ph, and the other gives
He'll as the father OF Joseph. Other slight
discrepancies might be mentioned. They
prove the genui.eness of the gospels
rather than the untruthfulness OF the
records.
Matthew wrote in Palestine for the Jews
and showed that Jesus was the fulfill
ment of prophecy. Mark wrote in Rome
and asserted the authority and power of
Jesus as the son of God. His theme is the
divinity of Christ. Luke wrote for the
Greeks. His is the gospel of breadth, of
the universally OF the love of God. 1t is
weighted with mercy. He is the most ad-
vanced of all the writers.
John wrote for no particular race or
sect but for all mankind. He defines
Christianity as life. Christ as Christianity.
He lived nearest Christ and wrote con-
tinuous and unbroken narrative out of
deep and rich experience. In the Apoca-
lyrse Matthew is likened to the figure of q
man, Mark to a lion. Luk9to a sacrifcial
OK and John to a soaring eagle.
'The memoirs of Jesus make the most
important literature of the world They
contain the greatest thoughts, the most
remarkable deeds. and independently
paint the picture of the greatest life that
has ever been lived. Rou. seau said, The
gospel history can be no fiction, else the
inventor would be greater than the hero,

probably coined his famous sentence, 1t

Communism Of the
Disciples Of Christ.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 28.-Rev. Ed
wards Davis preached at the Central
| Church last night on THE Communism
of the Disciples of Christ" He took as his
| text Acts ii:44-45: "And all that believed
were together, and all had things common;
and they sold their possessions and goods
and parted them to all according as any
man had need" He said:
The text is a woof on which may be
woven a creed of comm unism. But the
| fabric is such that 1t cannot endure the
strain OF political wrangling. The cloth
of communism must not be rent; 1t Is the
collective property of the community, and
when it is torn by thieves, as in the case
of the holy coat rent in twain, it shall lose
its viruous power.
Men have attempted to establish the
commonwealth of communism through
transcendentalism, legislation and war.
and they have failed. The solution of the
social problem depends on individual de-
portment-on deeds, not dreams. Not on
| the battle field, not in the legislative halls,
not on the rostrum, stage or puipit, not in
the home. but in tina gutter of the alley,
in the pesthouse, the asylum, the prison,
shall the incarnate Christ be. When
honor shall be given to the past purity OF a
fallen woman and to the marred image of
God in a ruined man; when the peanut
vender. the bookblack, the streetswee per,

oppressed shall take place with the hum
BILE, who have reason to be proud then
shall the human brotherhood find its

in deed. The rich must be willing to be-

he Shortest Verse
In the Bible


Loo Hoo Nam Art spoke at Oil Stockton
street yesterday morning from the text,
St. John kiss, Jesus wept" He said:
This is the shortest verse in the Bi Bile
and most beautiful one. Many people
deprived of earthly friends despair be-
cause they know not the heavenly SYM
pathizer. 1t would be great comfort to
sucn people to know that they have a
sympathetic Savior who wept with those
that wept.
81 would draw your attention TO four
points IN this text. First, Christ suffer
ing, MS scourging, his crown OF thorns
and his crucihxion. Then it was that
while atoning for the sins of the world he
sweat great drops OF blood, and when our
hearts are tiled with the bitterness OF
sorrow and disappointment we can the
better appreciate the meaning of the text.
Secondly, Christ's sympathy, his love
for Lazarus and mis- sisters and his SYM
pathy for all of US are equally profound.
Thirdly, Christ's weeping for Us is a
pledge of the same sympathy.
''Fourthly, Christ is our exam pie of sym
pathy for others. If we are true followers
OF Christ we are his imitators and if we
show ourselves Indifferent to the sorrow
and suffering around US we are unworthy
to be called his disciples. We as Chris
tians of this com unity have much to
mourn for. There aremany of our unfor-
Iunate country men who are sold into
a slavery worse than death. Gam blers,
'tongs,; or so-called societies, exercise a
rule of terror in our beloved Chinatown.

remedy these evils. yet We should try our

Christ's Kingdom
Is Universal.

The Rev. DR.. john Coyle, presiding elder
of the San Francisco district, preached a
sermon at the Simpson Memorial Church
last night which was highly complimented
for its force and beauty. His text was
from Isaiah: Look unto me and be We
saved all We ends of the earth" He said +:
"The author of this invitation must be
some uncommon person. No ordinary
human being could presume to claim for
himself the vast power essential to the ac-
complishment of the purpose here made
known. None other than the Son of God,
who was pre-eminently the subject OF tie
prophets utterance would have used such
words.
The kingdom of Jesus Christ is to be
universal in its extent. 1t is not to be a
dominion over nations and governments,
but over individual consciences and lives.
