MANS FIRST DUTY.
Religion to BE Taken Into Every
dny Affairs

Religion to Be Taken Into Every
day Affairs.
The Rev. T. d. D. Clark, of Bryn Mawr.
Pa, formerly OF Scotland. supplied the pull
pit Of the First Baptist Church yester-
day morning. His theme was The object
OF Christian seeking" taking for his text
the words of Matthew, Seek ye first the
kingdom of God and his Righteousness and
all these things shall be added unto you "
Mr.. Clark began by declaring that the
days. is. What shall we eat. what shall
we drink, and wherewithai shall we be
clothed2" This problem, he said, is ever
the problem of unbelisf and greatly dis
honors God. We cannot think OF God as
being solieitous about such matters, and
Jesus came into the world to demonstrate
this fact by his single-eyed devotion TO
His Fathers business, although that de-
votion cast Him of from every earthly
source OF supply. As no man can serve
two masters. and as a doubleminded mai
is unstable in all his ways, our Lord TOOK
no thought for creature necessities, be-
cause the lower is included in the higher
and the sanctified serving of the Diytns
Master commands unfailing support
It is worthy of note that the Lord II urg-
ing his disciples TO seek first the kingdom
of God, was seated on the mountain and
not in the temple or the synagogue. Suct
practical truth had nothing in common
with ritualsm or tradition. AS a work
man among workingmen he did not di-
vorce religion and daily duty, but exhort-
ed them through their daily work TO seek
Gods kingdom and righteousness, and the
work that will not permit this cannot toe
soon be abandoned.

THE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYER.
The Rev. DIR. Horton Believes 1t the
Greatest MorraIs Have

The Rev. DR.. Francis A. Horton. of Phil
adelphia, filled the pulpit at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, yesterday
DR.. Horton is an attractive man and mag
netic taiker. He possesses a full, rich
voice, which he knows how to use with
effect His style is somewhat OF the con-
Yersational order. His subject, taken from
Luke xviii: /, was: THE Efficacy of Pray
er"
The doctor treated his subject in a most
interesting manner. He contended through
out for the efficacy and good effects of
prayer He said years ago he was surprised
and startled by hearing a friend of his,
a protesting Christian, advance views on
the subject of prayer that 1T was unrea-
sonable in view of Gods immutability, and
that il could have only reflex value to
the praying man. He told of a Christian
elder whose wife was an invalid and re-
mained such until she died, who he did
not know what to make of prayer, as he
had prayed for his wife again and again
without good effect. He told also of hear
ing two ladies in street car discussing
religion adversely. Finally they hit upon
prayer, when both agreed that to ask an
action from an immutabie God was an alb
surdity and that prayer was an exercise in
duiged in only by the feeble minded. The
doctor said there will always be scoffers
who make mock of prayer, and there are
deyout and honest hearts which, by the
ignorance which is in them: as we'll as by
the difficulties which inhere In the subject
are perplexed.
Prayer, he said has history 1t has
made record and the record may be his
torically examined. An examination would
throw light upon its reasonableness. Prayer
Is nothing more or less, he said, than real
izing TO ones self the presence of God, and
| consciously communing with him. I'VE dc
not" he said. lin the definition ignore the
influence of the Holy Spirit in the act. MOI
do We touch upon the subjective character
| of prayer at all But what we are saying
is that prayer. as IL lies in Christian con
sciousness. IS just this, face to face
standing before God; conscious seeing
| him and being seen by him, and a consciou.
interchange of thought with him. If Il
| is less than this then il is not worth talk.
| ing about If il is all this, then it is HEAVIER
on earth. 1t is the sweetest experience II i.
the profoundest privilege. We affirm tha

The latest reports received at the locai
Weather Bureau state that the hurricane
which originated in the West Indies is still
wearing itself out at sea. and while headed
north. its violence has decreased to such
an extent that there is little danger of it
striking as far north as Washington with
