MANS INFLUENCE LIVES ON
Dr. Wilson Asks His Hearers TO
Set a Coed Example.
The Body VIII Die But Not 80 With
Ones Deeds-President Mchin-
ley One of His Auditors.

President Mckinley attended the
Metropolitan NJ. E. church as usual
yesterday morning. He had the pleas
ure of listening to an eloquent sermon
by Rev. DR.. L. B. Wilson. the presiding
elder Of this district of the Methodist
church. The quarterly conference of
the church win take place this evening,
Dr. Wilson officiating.
Dr. Wilson preached yesterday on the
eternal influence that men have for
sood or bad on the future of the race.
He chose for his text the passage from
the epistle TO the Hebrews, And by IL
He being dead yet speaketh.'
He told the story of this chapter of
the epistle. reciting the deeds of the
men of the Old Testament from the
beginning of the chronicle. Abel, Noah,
Abraham Moses, the prophets and the
singers and of the force which they all
have over the thousands of years of
time on mems lives.
.'It would be impossible to take those
old stories out of the religious history
Of the world without infinite loss.' said
the speaker. These men will speak to
US now. There is no man in all those
olden years who is not a force.
These proud achievements and those
others of the men who followed them
through all history, poets, preachers,
thinkers, statesmen, soldiers, are 50
eloquent so inspiring. so vital in max
ing up the world as it is to US that it
almost seems that the masters are all
among the throng whose hands now are
folded.
"A thousand years after Appius built
the Roman road men still travelled it.
So we are travelling in another Appian
way OF thought. We must not depre-
ciate the present, but no more should
we forget our great Indebtedness to the
past.
Not only the leaders but all the great
company of the unknown who have
lived and died have entered into the
building of the world. Their lives are
as truly a part of our heritage as those
of the men whose deeds are written in
history We are building on founda-
ton that unknown builders set up for
us.
"when Napoleon, Victor Hugo says,
asked an unknown peasant before
Waterloo if there was any obstruction
between his armies and the enemy the
peasant shook his head. The sunken
road was there and into it stumbled Ma
poleons army, and about ii fell the
ruins of the empire. The nod of a peas
ants head changed the course Of desti-
ny.
In the same way all of our lives are
potent forces. Not only our lives, but
our every smallest act, is to go down to
those who come after, either helping or
marring them. The destiny of the race
is in our hands We are bound to
Immortality. No man can dig a grave
deep enough for himself for anything
more than his body. His influence is
forever"
.Aln
plea that men live for the good of the
race.aand not to its harm. Some of
those who heard him. he said, might, as
the patriarchs of 5000 years ago. do
now, be welding a mighty influence
sixty centuries in the future.

Dr. Maslianski is quite an interesting

for a number Of years urged the Jews of
Russia To assert their citizen rights. He
delivered an address Of this cha ia cter a

The central idea dev e oped by Dr.

a comparison between Moses and Washing

THE PRESENT FOR ALL.
Thoughts From Father Hannon's
Seasonabie Sermon.

Rev. Eugene Harmon, the assistant
rector. preached he New Years sermon at
high mass Yesterday at st. Pauls Church.
The celebrant of the mass was Father
Foley. with Fat her Sheridan as sub-deacon.
The old year Father Harmon said,
with its Joys, hopes, ambitions, aspira-
tions and expectations, has passed away
IL is gone forever, and we must now look
hack and ask ourselves have we profited
by having lived It.
-'The past is dead, and our deeds and
thoughts are recorded against us--were
they good or evil? Do they better qualify
us to enter upon thenew ear withrenewed
hopes and faith in the promise OF life ever
lasting?''
Speaking OK the present and future. Fa-
ther Harmon said: I'VE have no claim on
future time. 1t belongs TO God. 1t is the
present we should utilize in glorlfying
God, in order that, if the future should be
given us, we may be fit TO live 1t as He
would have us. The present is for sli

Christ 1t is then we are so forcibly re-
minded of all that the Saviour has done
for us; We think of His life and His death
and His example.
1T is q matter much to be regretted that
men hold themselves aloof from the best
things in life, from the blessings they would
bestow. Man was made free to accept
or reject. God will not force us, but will
win our souls by love. Men may be forced
to go to church, .ut it is only their bodies
that will be there, while their souls will
be far away. So, IL we would win their
souls for the savious, it must be by love and
not by force.
God sent his only Son to teach us how
TO save our souls and others, and il we
take up this work we will be clothing our
selves in the garments of the Lord. Think
