APPEAL OF FILIPINos.
Chiefs of the New Federal Party Send
Cable-Towne's Speech

Washington, Jan. 29.-The features
in the senate yesterday were the read
ing of an appeal from the leaders OF
the Federal party in the Philippines,
and the speech of Towne in favor OF
Philippine Independence. The Fill
ipino appeal declares that the new
party is taking like wildtire among
the Filipinos and expects to bring
peace by bringing into its ranks about
all of the people. Its chief plank is
acknowledgment of Uncle Sans SOW
eEeignty. and its principal statement is
that The adjournment of the pres
ent congress without giving the presi-
dent authority TO establish a purely
civil government with usual powers,
;11 the postpOnement for at least 4
year of such government until the
new congress, will certainly confirm
this Misunderstanding to the dis
trust of those who refuse to join the
Federal party.

of hostilitieS in the Philippines. The

THINGS THAT PLEASE GOD.
The Rev. G. y. LuccocIS's Estimate of
What n Christian Must Do.

In his sermon at the morning service
yesterday, the Rev, G. n. Luccock. Of the
Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, talk
ed Of Three Things That Please Cod. q"
The discourse was in the nature of
guide to persons who are misdirecting
their religious efforts. The three things.
IN MIR. Luccocks estimation, which were
most pleasing to the Almighty were
Thanksgiving. seif-dcdication to God, and
prayer in the day Of trouble.
He said in part: There is one thing
which renders these three one and that
thing is faith. Many hope to gain credit
marks in heaven by promiscuous charity
on earth. The worst gift that can be
bestowed on the poor is that given lavish
ly. without prudence or restraint. II tends
to pauperize. The people are not all
wrong who reckon only the earnings of
their heart IN their account with C)d.
There are plenty OF opportunities tor
men to work In the right direction for
Jesus Christ. Salvation is always open
to a man. He viii no more be pauperized
by acceptins it. and no more loss of
manhood viii BE involved than there Is
when a soldier receives arms and rations

THE INFLUENCE OF HOPE.
An Element which shows the Di-
vision Between Man and Beast.

THE influence Of hope in shaping out
the life o, the Christian was the subject
of the discourse of the Rev. Wallace Rad
cliffe yesterday morning at the New York
Avenue Pres oyterian Church. The ser
vices were attended by a congregation
which filed the auditorium and the gal
leries OF the church TO their utmost ca
pacity.
DE- Radcliffe took for his text the words
of the Apostle Paul, The hope that is in
you" OF all the creeds and beliefs, he
said, the religion of Christ was the only
one which holds out hope of life ever
lasting to humanity. The distinguishing
characteristic of the Christian religion
he said. is hope. The accepted meaning
and use Of the word hope" teaches us to
look forward to and expect something
that is good We do not hope for things
evil. but for things which we believe to
be desirable. Look at it from any view
point, we will see that it is one of the
essential elements of human life.
Hope DR. Radcliffe said. lis the line
which divides man from the lower animal.
Man can hope. but it is a something which
other animals cannot do. It Is the power
which fills all life with beauty and makes
it endurable; it fills he humble home
with the same brightness and light which
enlightens the palace; il is the power
which permeates the world with light and
music and beauty. Destroy hope and you
destroy man. Hope is the standard of
diffeTentiating between men-you cannot
put great hope in little soul. Some
men are governed by passion and a de-
sire for material things; such cannot live
in the highest. Music and beauty are dull
to such a man, for he is without hope
If, on the contrary, he has hope, his life
is frightened and strengthened. If we
keep our face continually to hope ii will
like the sun, cast the shadows behind us
and they wiz not darken our pathways
Christianity clothes the spirit with hope
and inspires us To look to the future
While man lives he hopes. and even in
dying and in despair still hopes on"
In conclusion, DIR. Radcliffe pictured
hope as beautiful being always smiling
and bidding us to come to her and live
in the glory of ChIfst

as free as the Offering received by the
mendicaut from the passerby
I'VE must offer God three things. They
are thanksgiving. self-dedication. and
prayer in the day of trouble In these
three things lies the way into God $
heart We may ask: Where is there faith
in Thanksgiving? Faith is closely in
volyed in thanksgiving You could never
give thanks unless you had faith and
trust that some great calamity would not
overtake you on the morrow. On four oc-
casions Jesus Christ gave thanks and
each time the characteristic of faith was
especially PROMINENT. Once at the mira
Gle of the loaves. He broke the bread and
gave thanks although there were but five
loaves and two fishes. He had implicit
confidence that those loaves and fishes
were enough for the multitude. Again his
sublime faith and confidence were illus
trated when his disciples began to come
in and report their work. 1t was learned
that the rulers and potentates nearly all
rejected Jesus Christ. The lower class
es, however, in large measure accepted
him. Not many of US would give thanks
or feel confident in an undertaking when
the leaders of the community were
against us. But Jesus Christ returned
thanks for the faith in him displayed by
the people. He was strong in faith. He
was the kind of man who could overturn
the powerful with the weak, and make
of things that were not, the realities Of
the kingdom of heaven.
The most perfect instance of the faith
of Jesus Christ was at the Last supper
Here faith is closely allied with self-dedi-
cation, and self-education merges into
Standardization. What is greater than
having a high ideal. Go a step further
and put into that high ideal the divine
person. God is the highest ideal of all
men"
