THE WORSHIP OF
JESUS AS A Man.
The Reverend J. W. Day Says the
Element of Personality Is In
dispensable to Religion.

THE worship of Jesus as man. was the
subject of the sermon yesterday at the
w. Day took as his text the words of Paul.
II Cor, v. 4: THE love of Christ constrain-
eth u.s.
In opening, he spoke of the difficulty some
people feel in regard to the worship Of Je-
suS Continuing, he said, in part:
Worship Is not limited to that divineness
the being Of God. There is possibility Of
worship in a human sense. In real way
We worship divlneness wherever we see 1t.
Something more than admiration is in the
sentiment we feel toward those we honor
and love. Their best qualities inspire In US
a feeling of reverence: So far from being
less worshipful than the reverence felt to-
ward abstract being. these sentiments are in
reality more worshipful than much OF the
feeling which is called worship. They are
fixed on something concrete, and they have
all the infinite character which their object
may have. The worship contained In affec-
tion and emulation is universally, expert
enced. We do not have to suppose that an
unlike ourselves to feel like bowling down be-
fore II. On the contrary. we are much more
likely to humble ourselves In veneration and
have some relation than toward remote
and separated being. We worship the child,
we worship pure womanhood, We worship
the hero we worship nobility of. character.

that worship which oyerlooks the real God
in aspiration toward aIvague and far-re-
moved abstraction.
1t is IN this practical way that the wor-
ship of Jesus may be most real and helpful.
However his personality may be defined,
those who know linn at first hand must rec
ognize the essence Of worship in their feel
ing. On this feeling the most effective part
Of his truth must depend. It is the PERSONAL

II IL simultaneously pointed out how Eng
hsh capital has suffered. some writer's
saying it was hoodwinked by the present
development. 1t is further said that Amer
ican railroad managers for years sacrificed
dividends to the improvement of equipment.
with the result that the magn,fcentiy
equipped lines are now fully ready to cope
with the present immense American indus
trial development.
These railroad lines were largely financed
with British money, but the lapse OF many
years with scanty dividends induced the
British investors largely TO cast off their
stocks as rubbish. Shrewd Americans
bought in these stocks at the prices the
Englishmen sold at and have been steadily
reaping the rewards of the present advance

One Dixcordant Voice Only.
The Investors Review, which - noto-
riously bearish in tone. alone dissents
from these favorable commentaries on the
American market, declaring that under the
surface a financial crisis is impending in
the United States. and warns bankers of
the enormous amount of American bills
afioat here and suggests the throwing out
of q certain class of these bills. in order to
precipitate an immediate panic. which the
Investors Review says could be better met

have been fioated here.
