AT this point in his sermon Dr. Rad
cliffe read with dramatic effect an old
poem by a Scotch preacher, resurrected
few years ago by Dean Stanley, and placed
in enc of his printed sermons. The title
of the poem was. Say Well and Do Well"
Continuing Mr. Radcliffe said:
-'Zebulons characteristics had one fault.
and that was spiritual pride. The ical-
ousy of Zehulon was almost immediate on
all occasions. Jonah OF Zebulon comp!ained
bitterly, because his words were not made
good in the destruction of the Nnevitss.
1t was because ZebuIon was so good that
he was SO bad. The besetting sin Of
good life is spiritual pride, and most
active workers in the church are very
apt to criticse their brethren who are
less active tia nthemselves. The evan
gelist often becomes impatient and in
dulges in little spiritual scolding because
church members or converts do not ex-
hibit the same zeal and earnestness as
himself. The spiritual life is very often
tempted to uplift itself into a region of
righteous self-conceit.
.'Zebulon had this other characteristic
impression of mind. that his was the poor
mans tribe. There was one such tribe In
Israel, one poor mans gate IN -Jerusa-
lem, and Jesus Christ lived thirty years
in Nazareth of the poor man s. country.
BY thus placing himself in Zebuien the
Saviour identified his mission and his
teaching with the poor and lowly of the
earth. that it might be truly said that the
poor have the gospel preached to them
In closing shall we not take to our
selves the lesson suggested by the history
of Zebulon, and the fact that Jesus Christ
lived in that country for thirty years. that
he became a haven for ships? The soul
that is surrounded by the night of doubt
and the darkness and obscurity OF life, has
in him haven Of rest. The soul that
feels stornl-tossed and weary may enter
the harbor of his love. and there find
shelter beside the eternal rock, where the
waters are Gained and reflect the light of
heaven. Bring there thy bark and anchor
it safely"

The sunday Newspaper Denounced.

Rev, F. D. Power, pastor OF Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, devoted three
quarters of an hour yesterday morning TO
the subject of church attendance during
the hot weather. He took as the subject
of his sermon Indifference" and his text
was taken from the nineteenth verse OF
the third chapter of the Gospel according
to St John: This is the judgment or
confirmation that light has come into the
world: that men love darkness better than
light
He started out by saying that there are
two classes Of people in the world, those
who attend the services Of the church.
and those who do not. and the latter class
is by far the larger. This the writer OF
the Gospels had found to be true when
he said. Wide is the way and broad is
the gate that leadeth to destruction and
many are travelling by that road.
There are in Washington" said Mr..
Powers. more than 200 churches Giving
each of them a seating capacity Of 400
people, and allowing that three-fourths of
these attend. the service there should
o.
every Sunday, and for the three services,
including Sunday school, there should be
100000. Placing the population Of Wash
ington at 800. 600. there are 100000 people
who never see the inside of church.
Mr.. Powers said that the principal cause
of this is Indifference. Most people. he
said, regard the services of the church as
unimportant or else they are infidels. The
moral apathy is appalling. he said. The
lack of interest is terrible. 1t is de-
plorab,e; it is detestable; 1t is criminal"
He referred at some length to the manner
in which God had punished the 1sraeiites
in days of old for their Indifference. and
TO their rewards when they were faithful
He said that one would hardly think 1t
possible for a rational being to be indif-
ferent to the word Of God and the service
Of his Son.
He spoke of the hard work INDUCED in
and interest in passing comforts as com
pared with the few sacrifices people wsre
wont to make to attend to their church
duties, especially as the soul is in cons ant
danger through this neglect Among the
many reasons for people not going to
church, Mr.. Powers gave one OF the wo- st
influences as the Sunday newspaper, which
he spoke of as blanket sheet. sens "a
| tional scandal monger, which drives the
Bible out of many households. He re-
ferred to 1t as the demon which secuiarizes
Sunday and keeps people from the WORSHIP
of God. 1t demoralizes people and makes
them unfit to serve God" he said, and
breaks down Gods sacred day"
He classed the Sunday paper with COM
munism, socialism. and several other isins
equally as bad. and arraigned it as being
destroyer OF homes. He deplored the fact
that many people could go to church twice
on Sunday during the cold weather. but
now that it is warm they found 1t neces-
sary to sit On their front steps or go to
some of the excursion resorts to get cool.

SCOTCH AS A VOWEL LANGUAGE.
Its neauty in That Respect Set Forth
by Native.
From the Mexican Herald. }

A few days ago l was dining in one OF
the restaurants of the city. AT the table
next to me sat party consisting OF &
Frenehman. a German. an Italian, a
couple of Mexicans. and q Scotchman.
The conversation turned upon the compar-
alive beauty OF languages. Each one OF
the party contended that his own Language
was the superior OF all others. The Ger
man based his contention upon the won
derful strength and self sufiiciency of the
German language and the virile character
of its thoughts and its literature. The
Frenchman claimed that the French lam
guage not only had superior. but no
equal in its ability to express all thoughts
accurately and with true beauty and
depth Of feeling.
The Italian and the Mexcans each
claimed that his language was possessed
Of one beauty to which no other language
could lay claim. the beauty of sonorous
sound The battle waxed hot between
these two, the Mexican maintaining that
Spanish had more true full-vowel sounds
than any other living language.
Finally both appealed the matter to the
Scotchman, who had. contrary to the
characteristics of his race. not taken any
part in the discussion, good, bad or in
different.
Saundy scratched his head for q moment
as though reHectlnS deeply, then he SAID:
