those which have accorded most respect,
honor and liberty of opinion to their women.
Students who understand Alright the philos-
ophy of history have noted that the intel
lectual and moral character of their women
has stamped the national genius with its
most marked social features. 1t was not
simply physical bravery that laid the founda-
tion of these United States; it was mental
and moral heroism. 1t was not the theology
of the parsons and men that made New Eng
lands sturdy character, the uprightness of
the Huguenot colonies; it was the faith of
the women that transcribed all theology.
No historian has yet done justice to the
women of any land. Women have the
harder burdens because they must endure
and suffer in silence, and that without being
the master of their own liberties and for
tunes. Handicapped by thousand disabiI-
tiles, unfavored with opportunities, woman
the world over is the marvel of the earth in
her deeds, her sufferings, her heroisms, her
devotion to duty, her aspirations and her
faith.
When men think to belttle religion by
speaking of it as woman's possession and
exercise, they do greatly err. They are
giving to it its divinest character. She
cherishes love for the true, the beautiful, the
good. Morality is an essential part of her
nature. Woman is naturally more religious
than man, by reason of that inner disposition
and will to believe, that enables her to per-
ceive truth where man must gain it by evil
dence and labor of thought To say that
religion is adapted to women is not to utter
any reproach either against it or womanhood
There are truths of the spirit that are dis
cernible through the secret process of spirit
ual longing and faith"
Rev. G. W. White, D. D.. president of the
University of Southern California, filled the
pulpit of University
Education OF NJ. E. church yester-
the Future day morning. '''rhe
Education Needed for
the Coming Century" was the subject of
the discourse. The education discussed was
chiefly from the standpoint of the church
school, which the speaker said was not
justified on denominational reasons alone.
'The justification of church is not in the
patronage it receives. but in the service it
renders to the world. So the church should
be made to do something more than to
simply contribute to the growth of the de-
nomination which fosters it. 1t can do some
thing more than this; it can supply the
needful regulating moral element in our
educational world, out of which the highest
type of the citizenship must come.
'There is a feeling in many thoughtful
minds that education to be most useful
to the state must have in it strong moral
element, which will incite to duty at the
s1me time that it provides fullest self-de-
velopment. Education which only produces
selfish ambition is dangerous. 1t produces
the demaqogue and the anarchist The only
safe moral element is found in the type
given to the world by Christ. 1t makes
service the greatest duty of ali and will
give to the world the highest type of civil
zation when these principles have fully
entered into our highest culture. This is
what the church school ought to stand for.
1t is what it owes the world"
David Wall, preached in the Christian
church in Santa Monica yesterday, choos-
ing as the subject of
The Full his sermon The Full
Salvation Salvation basing his
remarks upon the
first chapter of the second epistle of Peter
To this apostle was given the pre-eminence
of opening the kingdom of Christ to both
Jews and Gentiles. Immediately after his
confession of the divinity of Christ, the
Master said, Il will give unto thee the keys
of the kingdom of heaven; and whomsoever
thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven; and whomsoever thou shalt loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven" But
the time for action had not vet arrived
Silence was imposed till all things should
be ready. Not one OF the disciples under
stood that Jesus was to suffer death and
rise from the dead. Not one of them be-
lieved this. 1t was not till the first pente-
cost that the Amounting Spirit descended
upon the twelve and impaired the crowning
preparation for their ministry.
Here then was applied the first key which
opened the door of salvation from past
sins. But this is not enough. 1t is one
thing to be saved now: the great question
rmams: Shall l be saved eternally? And
it became necessary, therefore, for the
apostle to tell Christians what they must do
to be saved, and this he does in the scrip
ture under consideration.
At Simpson Tabernacle last evening the
Rev. e. A. Healy preached from Eph. 4, 2:
'Four years before
knowing writing this letter to
Christ the Ephesans, Paul
had spent three years
in successful ministry, and some had been
consecrated by the Holy Spirit to the work.
The general commission given by the Mas
ter Go We into all the world was given to
fully develop manhood He who takes the
life of Christ on earth will not be led into
any wrong paths. The foundation of Chris
tianity on earth was given in types; Christ
crucifed. Christ risen, Christ assembled, are
the foundations for Christianity. How
shall we know Christ? There is prayer,
Help me to know Christ with that love that
passeth knowledge and if you will come to
Him who is altogether lovely you shall know
by the love that comes in sympathy and sor-
row, and we shall be able to go out and seek
others to come and find this love that pass
eth knowledge"
