Of the attendant phenomena pro-
claim the exceptional nature OF the death

simple facts, while they are significantly
silent as to theological theories. Accord

lives be influenced by this eliminating
scene in the stupendous drama of God AL
mightys wonders. AS the disciples of
Christ, we humbly and reverently accept
the fact without pretending to be able to

these respects 1t differed from all others.
Socrates died like philosopher. but Je-
sus like a god" The pagan soldier who
stood by was so impressed. "Truly, this
man was the son of God" The reticence
of the writer's of the gospels relative to the
physical sufferlngs of Jesus is remarkable.
They at least understood the divine phil
osophy of the cross. With them 1t was not
a question of bodily agony. 1t was the
agony of the soul. The burden of all the

part of the service was devoted to singing

and the latter part to historic eras in Meth

to 1898; Cokesbury college the first insti-
tuition of the church, established in 17ST;
the hundredth birthday of Methodism cei-

sented with handsome morocco-bound BIZ

FOURTH CONGREGATIONAL
Christianity an Affirmative Religion.
Rev. B. q. Howard


Christianity differs from the religions
that have preceded it, in its affirma tive
mes, its positive attitude toward moral
Righteousness. Until the Master came the
moral and spiritual life of the world re-
volved in a staggering orbit around
a negative center. The watchword of all
the teachers of righteousness was a We
hement "thou shalt not" The Old Tesla
ment is as largely a book Of prohibitions
as the New Testament is of invitations. The
great teacher stood up before the men of
the world and delivered his message. 1t
was no call to negative type of religion,
but a summons to a positive, practical
He lifted the soul and re-
ligion out of the chilling atmosphere of
into the free light of per-
formance. The Chris tianity of Christ is an
affirmative and an aggressive affair. Pro-
fession must be backed up by practice to
amount to anything. A knowledge of d.
vine truth is good thing, but revelation
was not given to satisfy our curiosity but
to stimulate our activity.
Jesus stood before the world with no Sc
ries OF prohibitions, with no cold system of
precepts; He came offering to the world a
definite, tangible life of righteousness. In
every soul He awakened home sickness
for God and good. 1t is a great day for
man when he is born into a consciousness
of his own positive selfhood. and it Is a
great day for soul when it sees the end
of life in the service of Jesus. II is great
day for a church when it moves out of the
narrow idea that it is set in the midst Of
life, to be the conservator of type of be-
lief, and is set on fire with the holy con-
vction that it was raised up to be salt and
light in the EARTH a positive redemption
agent in its own community. moral and
spiritual power, making for righteousness

! DANGEROUS CLASS
HESPECTABLE SINNERS A MEN,
ACE TO SOCIETY
SECRET OF TuRE PEACE
Rev. Larkin's Sermon at University
Church An Affirmative School.
otAsF Pulpits

Rev. c. W. Wendte preached yesterday
morning at the Church of the Unity on the
text, 1--WE wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against spiritual wickedness IN
high places"
Here in the midst of our social wealth,
refinement and religion is an army OF
avowed enemies to all higher forms
of social life-vagrants, paupers, fall
len women, fallen men, rowdies,
drunkards, thieves, habitual criminals of all
grades of niquity. By common consent we
call them our dangerous classes They
render property and life unsafe among US.
They cost us vast sums of money, they
breed sickness and corruption, they spread
abroad moral miasma, they cause I'M
speakable wretchedness and suffering. Let
us not underestimate the harm they do.
They are perpetual menace to the higher
interests of society; a serious hindrance to
its attainment of the Christian ideal.
"But when all is said, the greatest danger
to society does not arise from the presence
in 1t of these morally weak, depraved and
vicious elements. Our real danger is from
4 higher class of offenders-the respectable
sinners amongst us, who are without con-
science, honor or faith, but who hide and
cloak their base motives under virtuous as
surances: who misuse their enlightenment.
social rank and personal authority to fur
their own selfish and unrighteous ends, and
conspire against the public welfare. The
great mischief they do is to make wrong
doing endurable, even attractive to their
fellows, and thus undermine the moral
structure of society. They often contrive to
get into power and station. They are among
our lawmakers, or sit as judges on the
bench; they are teachers in our colleges or
preachers in our pulpits. AS journalists and
politicians they manipulate and control pub
lie opinion. They have intelligence, force,
culture, but are without faith. sincerity and
heart Their idea of honesty is How far can
/ go and not be caught by the sheriff. Con-
science they hold to be an inconvenient
within. Charity is destinations alms-g giving.
Piety is attending church, supporting the
institutions of religion and giving money to
spread the blessings of religion
The last type referred to was the hypo-
critical professor Of religion, very formal
and pious in speech and manner, but harsh
in judgment, intolerant in opinion, oblivious
of nice moral distinctions and often quietly
selfish and mean in actions. Such make
religion consist not in a renewed and conse-
Grated life and a genuine piety, but in me-
chanical observance, artificial sanctities
skeptical about all religion and all church
observances, which produce such rotten
fruits.

An eminent clergyman, member Of many

money left for charitable or benevolent
purposes by testators throughout the
United States during the past three years.
He finds that the requests for 1897 are
81 900 900 in excess of those of 1896. In the
former year they were upward Of $4,000, :
900; in 1897 more than $4,000 900. Benefi-
cence has other forms than that of money

THYSELF WITH HIM
Rev. F. M. Larkin at the University
M. E. Church

The Rev. F. NJ. Larkin, pastor of Univer-
sity church, preached from the words,
"Acquaint now myself with Him and be
at peace" job xxii-21. This advice is
needed today by our busy, work-a-day
fretful people. To many there is no peace
or quiet of mind "all is vanity and vexation
CT spirit" To others the international
questions are ominous and prophesy grave
questions for the near future. There is
no help or hope except in God. To deny
the facts of unrest because of personal or
national questions is folly. The denials OF
Christian science" will not change Jobs
condition. The fact of suffering is stub
born, and will not away by simply denying
it's existence.
The negations of skepticism increase the
gloom rather than tighten it. Mr.. Hume
once said, II am astonished and affrighted
at the forlorn solitude in which l am
placed by my philosophy. When 1 look
about 1 see on every side dispute, contra
diction and distraction. When 1 turn my
eyes inward 1 find nothing but doubt and
ignorance. Where am I, and what? From
what causes do 1 derive existence, and to
what condition do 1 return? I am con-
founded with these questions, and begin
to fancy myself in the most deplorable
condition imaginable, environed in the
deepest darkness
There is help and hope in acquaintance
with God. This is more than mere belief.
Goethe long ago said 'the period of doubt
is past; men now doubt as little the exist
ence of God as they do their own" An
acquaintance with God implies a personal
experience, and the soul cries out, "Oh.
Lord, thou art my God" Such an ac-
quaintance brings peace to the soul.
Paul gives us the secret, 1.-THE natural
man receiveth not the things of the spirit
Of God. Neither can he know
them, because they are spiritually dis
icerned But God hath revealed
them unto us by His spirit"
