IMPORTANCE OF THE TASK.

Let us come TO this task realizing it's
Importance both for ourselves and the
church. Let us realize the opportunity
II offers, us. Let us go to Il with Joy Let
us make some sacrifice. May II cost us
something and In that depriving our
selves OF some pleasure or desire in be-
half OF Gods kingdom we shall taste the
sweet OF Joy and peace that Is past
understanding.
And sacrificing something there in the
world for something here with what
added Joy and blessing we shah come 10
this house OF worship with hearts brim-
ming with gratitude 10 the giver OF every
good and perfect gift.
We then are owners here. II belongs
to us II IL our home and into its quiet
and peace we shall come and sit far from
the noise and turmoil Of the world with
hearts In tune with the divine.
May Gods rpirit go with us and
quiet us As on our knees we pray so
on our knees face to face with the
bouptiful giver may we give OF that
which has been given US. not as giving
something we own but as giving some
thing that we owe.

INDIVIDUAL GIVING.

In the second place I want to call your
attention to a matter that Is In direct
line with the thought OF the sermon. |
have emphasized the individual need IN
giving. This does not mean the family.
1t means each Individual in the family.
have emphasized the dangers OF the
mercenery spirit. You need TO train your
children Just along those lines and there
Is no better opportunity for doing that
and at the same time leading them to
their responsibility In the church than
this card system. We have almost zoo
members and last year only 123 cards We're
taken. Let us all give something this
year however small IL is l want to ap-
peal TO the boys and girls this morning
that they insist on participating In this
part OF the service.
1t will not only incxease our funds but
IL will be a blessing to all who partici-
pate.
And now with these remarks close
asking you to remember that we
are taking the first step and laying the
foundation as 1t were for our coming
years work

WHAT Is NEEDED.


In the first place we not only need for
the running expenses OF this church as
much as we had In 1901, but We need
more.
We are at a stage in the history OF this
church when we shall have to spend more
money in conducting or expect every
year to get less and less out Of 1t.
Instead Of contracting our expenses we
ought to enlarge them. Foolish economy
at tho present time would mean suicide.
There are two or three things during the
coming year that hope we may do.
In the first place / trust we shall be
able 10 invite to this pulpit during the
lenten season three Or four OF the best
preachers In the couHtry. In the second
place I trust that when IL comes to the
vacation season that first class men may
be invited to this pulpit to maintain the
work with vigour during my absence.
Furthermore ] look forward to the time
when we shall be able to- adorn our SER
vice with more music. l think that in
take. We are In no position rere as
down town church to merely question
what we individually want. We sre not
a social club. We are here TO an
swer the needs OF this community
and we are IN duty bound to meet those
needs IL It Is in our power. The excellent
quality of our music at present IL the
only thing that redeems our service from
absolute barrenness. IL will take money
to do this and have faith to believe
that as you see the need the money will
be forthcoming

IN THE INTEREST OF SOULS.


Look at this matter always and ever In
the interests OF the soul. If you
look at IL merely In the In
terest OF this church you will say
Mr.. A can better AFFORD 10 give than
can. Let him do II. What use for me
to give my little; there are others who
can better afford to give than can. Ny
friend it's not first your duty or the need
OF this church. It's your opportunity, IL
you value your soul and its the need Of
that soul.
1t is from this high vantage point to-
ward which 7 have endeavored TO lead
me upon the needs or this church this
morning Here is the opportunity OF
applying the truth that We have en-
deavored to express.
In writing this I had before me two
rows Of figures. At the top OF the first
was 1901. At the top of the second 1902
l sought these figures that might COM
pare them. In 1901. lis filled out the
cards such as you now find in the pews
In 1902 123 filled out these cards. A gain
OF eight.
In 1901 us people subscribed $226.2s. IN
1902 I23 people subscribed SlS3. A loss OF
S442.2 2S. This loss with the increase In
number of those who subscribed can be
accounted for fully by a large subscrtp-
tion given In 1901 by one person, but not
given in 1902. But to account for loss
In not 10 make II good. The three items
that suffered most last year were the
general fund, the Benehcent Congrega-
tional society and the Woman's board.
These are the facts.
Now In the interest Of this church !
want to call your attention to two things.

RELIGIOUS REFORM

EDITOR ISLANDER: We live in an age
of reform. Old things are rapidly giving
place to the new. Men are growing wiser
as they should do from experience and
the wider dissemination of scientific and
practical knowledge. But is there much
reform in religion? Instead, are not
Christians dividing more and more into
sects that strive and contend with each
other in most unchristian manner?
Still, not all Christians are thus. There
are reformers in religion as we'll as in all
other things. For many years two de-
nominations have existed in America
and other lands that are spoken Of as Re-
formed or Liberal Christians. / refer to
Universalists and Unitarians. These de-
nominations, much the same in belief
and practice, look upon the Bible not as
the infallible word of God, but as Jewish
sacred books. Other ancient nations
have sacred books, but, compared
with the Bible, none teach such pure,
high, moral code. There being but one
God, the Creator and Ruler of the Uni
verse, the idea of the Trinity making
Jesus God equal to the Father, must be
rejected. Christ though mere man was
no doubt raised up by God as a great,
pure and noble example and leader of
men in morals. The New Testament
writers may speak of Him as God and
put into His mouth similar statements,
but there is no positive unquestioned
proof that Jesus laid claim TO Divinity.
Considering Him as a divinely raised up
leader and the whole Bible as Jewish
sacred books Astounding in much that is
good, mixed with error, Christianity be-
comes a religion, in harmony with
science and reason. Liberal Christians
leave out the Bible fables, the fall of man
by the eating of the forbidden fruit, the
destruction of the ancient world by the
flood, Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the
lions den, and in fact all the miracles.
God, they say, has always ruled the uni
verse by fixed and Interchangeable laws.
In His providence He may bring about
many things mysterious to us just as the
acts of a father may seem wonderful to
his young child, but in all things He acts
according to his own established rules.
Moreover, being full of love for all His
creatures, He Furnishes only to save, not
to damn in endless hell. He never Gre
ated a devil or he'll. Men, all, either in

THE PLAINTIFFS LAWYER.
He Had a Poor Case, but by Vitu
peration Delighted His Client.

| From the Kansas City Journal
] Here is one of the stories told by
Judge Shelton during Il recent eXecu-
| tive session of the bar in Macon, some
years ago: Judge Hayden, of Howard
county, brought a slander suit for Il
| client, who, it turned out, didn't have
much of a case. There was consider
able bad blood between the plaintiff
| and defendant, and the former had
considerably magnifed his alleged
grievance because of prejudice. Judge
Hayden was q master of invective and
his client had instructed him to take
the hide off of his antagonist if he got
q chance. Mr.. Leonard, another prom
inent lawyer Of central Missouri, ap-
peared for the defendant.
k"'Well, by the closest scratch Hayden
got across all demurrers and to the
jury. Learned lawyer that he was, he
saw there was no hope for his client
to get any damages, but he intended to
do his best to make him feel good, any
way. Three hours were allowed to the
side, and Hayden told the court he
would attend to the division of the
time on his opening and closing speech
es himself. Then he sailed into the
defendant and administered one of the
most terrific castigations l ever heard
since l knew what court room was
1t was superb In it's ingenious pitiless-
ness.
THE defendants color changed un-
der the unmerciful scoring, and he re-
peatedly whispered to his counsel, Mr..
Leonard. words of advice as to how to
repel the charges. Leonard muttered
through his gritting teeth, Just wait
till my time comes, I'll fix him..
After he had used up half his time,
the court, supposing Hayden wished to
reserve some time for his close, politely
suggested that an hour and Il half were
gone. Hayden, however, kept right on
with the cruciiiNion of the defendant,
and paid no heed to time or anything
else. At last the entire three hours al
lotted We're up, and Leonard and his
client We're nearly ready to commit
bloodshed. After Il peroration that was
absolutely appalling in its mastery Vi
Imperative intensity, Judge Hayden
turned to the court, and with bland
smile, saio: Your honor, the plaintiff
takes non-suit.' Leonard shouted, i
object" SO anxious was he to get back
at Hayden that he hardly appreciated
the fact thta his enemy had aban-
doned the field and spiked the defend
ants oratorical guns.
"Of course, the non-suit ended it, and
made 1t manifest that Hayden had
hung on the case merely for the pur-
pose of administering AN excoration to
the defendant. / have often thought !
would have given great deal to have
heard what Leonard intended to say in
reply. l know one thing-he would
have been delighted to have satisfied
my curiosity had he been permitted"
