The Pennsylvania railroad is pay the city of New York

The first city Of the country here takes an unusually ad
vanced position relative franchises and the exacon of

condensed form Pulpit work has to be more and more
art and the wide awake progressive eiergymen fully real
minute still acceptable but the occasions must be
rare
One of the tests of great preacher in my opinion IS
his ability to preach short long sermons as the occasion
may require. One of the luminous pulpit orators
heard could deliver scholarly Grafton OF an hour
length and hold his congregation spebond and ne eouu
preach fifteen minute that perfect in its way
think most church goers rule prefer rapid speaking
The preacher who talks rapidly works his audience up to
pitch of excitement and easily holds its attention
Phillips Brooks and his brother the Arthur Brooks,
noted for their word speed well as their brains and
scholarship They could say in minutes than most
preachers could in twenty minutes The Brooks were good
pulpit models

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Today is the Fourth of July.

Today is the Fourth of July
BY the booming Of cannon and the explosion OF
fireworks of all sorts for hundred and twenty-sx
years. Americans have been accustomed to mark the
recurrence of the great National holiday
1t is we'll to stop for minute amid the noise and
celebration and inquire the meaning of 1t ALL and why
the Glorious Fourth is glorious.
This anniversary" said Daniel webster, "animates
and gladdens and untes all American hearts On other
days of the year we may be party men. But
today we are Americans all and all nothing but Amer
cans' With this spirit let take down the Declara
ton of Independence dated at Philadelphia on the day
VIC celebrate in the year 1916, and read over its sono
rous sentences 1t is not 10 speak irreverenty the
gospel of the day. Aside from the patriotic feeling
which leads all Americans to regard the words aud
phrases Of our charter OF liberty sacred text
founded as it says upon the laws of nature and of
lures God not help being thrilled at the tale
of the patient suerance of these colonies under the
long list of grievances and expressions Of the British
king "a prince whose character is thus marked by
every act which may define tyrant' and unfit to be
the ruler a free people,, and the manly patriotism of
the declaration that these united colonies and of
right ought to be free and Independent States" and
the pledge on the part of the delegates in support
the declaration of their lives their fortunes and their
sacred honor
Let us renew this declaration and pledge and hand
down our republic to our children we received it
from our fathers free country of free people and
the friend of freedom all the earth, Now that the
OF Philippine policy is apparent
party men, but Americans, let abandon it. An
true Americans shrink from

The lips that only habblc OF their
While TO the night the shroking hamlets blaze

False honor and shameful glory
On the Fourth of July let recall the spirit of 76
and, remembering that the countrymen OF
Washington and Jefferson, make decision upon our
great National problem with the wisdom and the right
Of the fathers and their firm reliance upon the
protection of divine Providence which is extended tc
