kingdom here on earth. Keeping the Sabbath holy does not mean that it is necessary that he remain shut up in our
 houses, but that we should welcome it as a great day and one in which we can work in the vineyard of the Lord and newly cousecrate ourselves to that high CT life which is to come. There should
 be a reinforcement of his holy purposes.
 He said that the richest of blessings cannot come to him who does not honor and respect father and mother. NO man ever went far astray who kept strict account of the teachings of his parents, and to do this there is need or honoring and obeying them. Of the commandment Thou shalt not kill' the speaker said there are bitter looks unkind actions and thoughts against those we should love, and this is in vio- lation of the spirit of that command ment Christianity permits no one to violate womans chastity, and one should not commit adultery more will ingly than he should permit or be will ing to have another so dishonor his mother, sister, daughter or any one dear to him. This commandment is perfectly real and perfectly right and anyone who violates it commits most despicable act. The command that "Thou shalt not bear false witness is not only applied as test in a court of law but a fair test is that you should not speak of another words which you would not speak to the other We should be always animated with spir- it of justice and honesty towards our neighbor.
 Of the ten commandments there is still this main question: "Is it your pur- pose to do Gods will ?"--If it is, and even though you have shortcomings and do not do things exactly as written that we should, if we get as near to it as possible we shall certainly pass the necessary examination and the kingdom of God will be ours. We should ack- our shortcomings and if we do so and ask forgiveness and for help God will help us to be more useful. The thing we can do is to accept Jesus standard as the true one, and always work with the one noble purpose of making His kingdom here on earth bet ter, happier and greater

AT BAHTELIl CHAPEL,
PRESIDENT HYDE OF BOWDOIN
 COLLEGE PREACHED.
Tho Teachings of the Ten Commando ments EIucidatsd- --One Purpose, That of Making Gods Kingdom Here on Earth Brighter and Better, Should bo Ours.

Earth Brighter and Better, should Do
 Ours.
 The religious services of the univer- sity were conducted yesterday by the Rev. Henry Dewitt Hyde, D. D., pres ident of Bowdoin college. At the morn- ing service held in Battell chapel the speaker took his text from the 10th chapter of St. Matthew's gospel and the 20th verse, which reads: The young man saith unto him. all these things have I kept from my youth up; what lack I yet?" The greater majority of us take it for granted and content our selves with the complacent feeling that if called upon we could pass good eX- animation on the ten commandments and thus we are perfectly safe for the life that is to come. There are many of US who are not idolators; we do not swear except in great proVocatlon; we do not murder nor commit adultery, and we do not bear false witness against our neighbor and hold our heads high in confident assurance that the kingdom of God Is ours, yet these are not all the essential marks. Jesus does not give us an examination paper of so many questions or of so many pages, on which we get certain standing for each question and another fixed amount for the whole and are thus allowed to go through. Jesus does not give for nal test as to whether the command ments have been broken or not, but the test in this life is the whole of it con- sidered whether it has or has not been to the glory of God the Father. There must be a single purpose and that of carrying on Gods work here on earth and furthering his kingdom. The Chris tian idea is to try to do something that will make the ideal real and the life eff fective for good in the world. If there is this one noble and necessary purpose then the eternal life is assured. If you are setting part of it aside then you Jack the right spirit and ye are as those that work iniauity. Jesus re- uuirements are infinitely higher than those of Moses, as set forth in the ten commandments. Jesus single compre- hensive purpose is to make the world better, greater and happier. The speaker then discoursed at some length concerning the ten command ments pointing out their exact signifi- | cation and the manner in which we should conduct ourselves as to their full | ffllment, still with the same spirit and | idea that we should have one single purpose and that to strengthen Gods
