NECESSITY OF REPENTANCE.

Thc following is an extract from sermon yesterday morning Ky Rev. F. A. Pcnicl1 of Trinity Episcopal church:
 St Matthew, Tv-17: Repent; fer the kingdom of Heaven is at hand"
 The ncarness of the kingdom of heaven which Jesus announced, was not a matter cf fear and dread. but of great rejoicing. |; was the advent of light and goodness and mercy. There fore were men to awake, and change their minds and n. arts and get ready for this new arI better order of things. It was always Christ's way of moving men to f5rsake sin, and ',O rise to the true dignity of life. Whenever He called upon them to repent, He began awakening the mind to noblest thoughts, by kindling better and higher aspirations in the heart. The prodigal in the swine's psn comes to himself by way of rem mbrarce. r. is the memory of something better, the Fla ther's sweet home and bountiful table. It is the Mast.r's gracious bounty in filling Peters net that moves him to confess his sinfulness. It is the light from Heaven which arrests Saul of T1arsus in his wild, maI career anI makes a man of him. And so it seems men are best moved 60 repentance by a sense Cf the gracious usarncss Of the Kingdom Of Heaven.
 Hence We appeal to you in the name Of nineteen centuries of Christian goodness: in the name of all lthat Chris ,ianfey has done for our country, our homes and our hearts, that you will forsake sin, and by the help of God, heacefcrth strive to live high holy lives. The only lives worthy of the dignity of rational beings living ln Gods world and under Ills moral gov ernment.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton vigor ously contradicts the assertions of the
 writer of a recent re-
 HAS visw article about the
 WOMAN retrogression of Ameri-
 PRO- can woman. In an ar
 GRESSED? ticle of the current month she ascribes the changed pest tion of woman chiefly to the displace- ment of her former domestic Occupa- tions by machinary. This released her her out to find new occupations and take her part in solving the prob lems." Nor will Mrs. Stanton hear of the doctrine that virtue and subjection simply the expressions of desire for a higher type of husband. Virtue and independence go together just as smoothly, or will go, when tn higher plains of social harmony are reached. At any rate, the champion of the ret aggressive view had no such galaxy O. stars to show for it. And the quiet ab- sorption of home duties, as they we"c seventy or eighty or hundred years ago, must have been responsible for a lamentable waste of gifts. Mrs. Stan ton asks: Did the farmers wife at the washtub GO a greater work for our country than the Widow Green, who invented the cotton gin? Could Mar garet Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frames F. Willard, Mary Lyon, Clara Parton have done better work churn- ing butter or wedding onion beds on their respective farms than the grand work they did in literature education and reform?" From the remarka ble development of individual energy and talent among women under the Amer ican social regime there is evidently but a step, in Mrs. Stanton's view, to the principle that the moral status of woman depends on her personal inde- pendence and capacity for self-sup port" That expresses the advanced creed, according to which every mis- take made in the honest attempt to re alize it is merely fall upward, mark of progress for conservative daws to peck at. The champion of the r-tro- gressive view in these days will never go upchallsnged.

when my strength faileth," was the text Of a sermon by Rev. G. D. Rice of the Christian church yesterday mGr:!- ing. He said in part:
 1 Cor. 9:11: "If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnaI things?"
 "The Old Guard" calls 10 mind mil itary affairs. We feel nothing is too good fer the old heroes of our wars and look carefully after their com fort.
 Waile I would got ask for one less word of praise or one less ministry of love to the old guard of military achievements, I feel there fs another old guard of whom We should not be unmindful and that is the one who for wars has waged a spiritual warfare What should ba our treatment of them? It seems to me they are worthy of double honor. This being true We sihculG give them the beed We have and thus cause their gun to set in a cloudles= sky. They have ministeTed to US the infinitely precious things uf the spirit. Gan we rot clothe, feed and give them a home in their oid age? You say. Dear souls they have my sympac hy." They have had more of dhis in their long lives than any thing else. Let the Lord speak to us through h;s servant, Paul: 1 Cor. 9:1t: Even SO hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the ecspcl, should live cf the gospel" Mark you the Lord says LIVE. not struggle, not starve Upon it. These men are our Deweys. Schlcys. Shaftors. Lees. Shall We treat them as c3ie-ts Of charity would it not be far I=tter to retire them on full pay? Could you know the keen cut Of Ckarity-they are men. The government does net treat her heroes aS objects of charity, nor should We. Tn faithful service they have earned @. competency in old age The w1rk with us as a people is new. T. has been a neglected ministry. Only since 1895 have we been doing sy5te- m2ttc work. We have now a parma- nent fund of something near $15,GO0 in round numbers. The interest frofh this fund, collections from the churches the past year was more than $6GG0. ! This was not sufficient to pay all the demands and some was borrowed from | the permanent fund.
 Members or the Christian church. we are today great pzople-1. 1ia, ,9S2 1 strong. Not only so. but we are a wealthy people, and the Lord will hold us accountable for thc neglect of His l servants. If we will but all do cur part then their will be money to meet all wants of the old guard an1 to 1 spare. The Lord bless the work of l inin!steri2l relief"
 The sermon was preached in the in terest of the ministerial relief board, an organization in the Christian i church that looks after the old and l disabled ministers, their widows and children. All Christian churches are expected this month to have this work i brought before them.

Very suggestive indeed of the enor nous material progress of the century
 which has now only GETTING month to run are the TO BE A figures furnished by BIG BOY MT. O. P. Austin, chief
 NOW. of the United States
 bureau of statistics, in the North American Review.
 At it's beginning GSOO) the total value of all the commodities interchanged by the nations was estimated at $1,5OO,- OOO,OOO. At it's end it is estimated that it will be fully $2O,O0O, ,OOO, eco.
 In 1894 the population of the world, as estimated by Malte-Brun, was G4O,- 100000; today it is about 1,5OO,OO0,O0 So that while in the nineteenth centu- ry the worlds population has increased by 135 per cent, it's international ex- changes have increased by 1233 per cent.
 The bulk of this enormous increase in commerce between the nations dates of course from the appearance of the first steam railroad in 1925, the first ocean steamship in 1919, the first over land telegraph in 1874 and the subma = rine telegra ph in 1851. And as the fastest rate of increase In commerce was recorded between 1880 and 1860, we may conclude that the telegraph was the most stimulative agency of all.
 The share of the United States in the cenltury's expansion of international trade has been magnificent. It is sum- med up in the statement that our i'm ports are about ten times and our eX- ports about twenty times as large and valuable in 1900 as they were in 1909.

CONDITIONS OF DIsCIpLEsHrp

CONDITIONS OF DIsCIPLEsHIP. At the M. E. Church. ssouta. Rev. R. A. Rowland preached on the above subject from Luke II: 25-27. He said in part:
 In the text our Savior calls atten- ton to the fact that ID matter how great may be the number of those who follow Him. every individual comes into personal coItact with the living Christ, or he remains in the gall of Bitterness and the bond of inquity. A great multitude were following Jesus. They had seen His miracles and hearu His teaching. They were attracted by His marvellous power, and wondered ct His God-lil1e wisdom. The people followed Him in crowds. But Christ always appeals to the individual. and He did rot address the multitude which followed Him as an assembIage but as individuals: If any man comy to me ard hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and brethren. and sisters, yea, and his own life also, ha cannot be My disciple And whoso- ever doth not bear his cross and come after me cannot be My disciple"
 
 dltions on which He accepts follow CTS. It is not a question of profession of faith in Christ, but of absolute sur render to His will! He teaches that cisciplesEip involves:
 First-Suprcme love to the Son of God. Second-The surrender of the dearest relations of life whenever they enter into competition with the claims of Christ upon our love and service. Third-The surrender of life itself whenever the claims of Jesus demand it. Fourth-Cross-be and follow ing Jesus.
 Let each one determine that, by Gods help, our Lord and Savior shall have in us a real disciple--ne who learns of Him and follows His teach ing. Our highest interests are best served by denying ourselves and fol- lowing the Lord Jesus Christ The cross leads to the crown. Death is the way to life. Following Jesus is the certain road to the right hand of the throne of God.
