HAZLEToN, Pa. June 22.-The Aus

Heheafeer Vice Consul George De Cir

affairs OF the Austrian government here

its location here was prompted by that
tragedy.

is force, the embodiment of power
The Mohammedan saw the evidences of
an orderly trend in all things, and he
said: God is law, the incarnation of
law The American Indian, in the
midst OF his primitive forests and his
virgin fields, felt the presence and
movement OF God everywhere and so he
said: God is the Great Spirit
Left to Christian Revelation.
But it is left to the Christian revela-
tion to tell US what God really is, and
it says God is love.'
This is the creed of the Bible, This
is the story of the gospel! This is the
music of the good tidings sent down
from heaven to earth,
''Is it true that love is the sum and
substance of the character of God, and
that the spirit OF love controls all the
acts of God toward his whole creation?
Can 1t be proved? Let us put this
great thought to the test of Our exam
ination.
Can we find any evidence in the
realm of nature or in the realm of
human experience or in the realm of
Gods grace, 10 substantiate it?
First. let us determine what love is.
Love is hard to define. Love is feel
ing more than anything else. Love is
the pleasure, or delight, that one soul
finds in another, which causes that soul
to work for the welfare and happiness
OF the other Love then is delight with
the intent to help and bless. When we
are told that God loves man, IT means
that God delights in man and that he
desires in every way to help and bless
him.
Realm of Nature.
"The great world is but a speaking
gallery OF Gods love. 1t is written upon
the stars. and upon the green swa-d. 1t
Is waited in every breeze. The glories
and the beauties of nature declare the
goodness and love OF God.

Profanity on Increase.

when think of our profanity grow
faint. 1t is growing steadily, and this
great volume of profanity is rolling
down upon US like cloud. And our in
temperance Is growing apace with the
swearing.
"Our State and national legislators
sit and haggle over the small questions
of government-over the almighty dol
lar. They match their abilities man
for man and spend days and weeks dis
cussing the questions of reciprocity and
kindred policies. They wait and wait
and bargain and fight over spending d
little money. And all the time they are
losing sight of the higher and nobler
questions. What will become OF these
countries and territories over which our
statesmen are quarreling in spiritual
sense? What of the salvation and edu-
cation of their people?
I'VE need greater baptism of faith
and Christian power. We need a larger
faith, that we may have a greater spir-
itual activity in the church and in the
cation.
I'VE must study Christ more. Our
cligion is too general. We want a per-
sonal Christ for our friend and helper
And right there with that personal
Christ we will find that larger faith
that greater power for spiritual ac-
tivity."

THE DIVINE SCORES CONGRESS-
Declares Many People Go to Service Be-
cause It's Fashionable-Oth Use It
as Means of Advancement in Bust
ness and Social Life.

The pressing need of a great increase
in our Christian faith was the keynote
of an interesting sermon by the Rev.
Samuel H. Weller, d. D., L. D.. late
president of the Occidental University
of California, last evening at the Eastern
Presbyterian Church. DR.. Weller filed
DR.. Thomas Chalmers Eastons pulpit,
owing to the slight illness of the latter
divine.
The well-know1 California minister
declared that general awakening to
the real power of God and a great in
crease in our Christian faith are the
most needed things OF the times. In
the course of his remarks he took occa
sion to score the policy of Congress in
spending weeks in useless argument over
reciprocity questions and Philippine
matters, losing entire sight. at the same
time, of the possible harm to the spirit
ual and educational existence OF the
Filipinos.
Luke, Lord, increase our faith" he said
in part:
Our Great Need.
Zone of the greatest needs Of our time
i am inclined to believe the greatest
need of our time-is a need of more
Christian faith.
Faith we have. but 1t is not Of the
deep sort that we need, the sort that
comes from the bottom of the heart
and grasps the spirit and work OF the
church. We should seek this broader
faith to have a greater comprehension
of the true gospel OF Christ. We don't
all know Just what Christianity can
mean to us; just how great a hold upon
our lives and souls Christ's love can
have.
Many people come to church and be-
come followers of God in name only,
purely because it Is fashionable to sit
once or t,ice = week In the house OF
God. OtI.Ts cone to pass away an hour
or so of their time. And still others
come through pure fear. These peoples
influence for good is woefully limited
Their Christian love for mankind and
the church is but a superfiuity. 1t is
mere thing of the surface, with no
depth or power. This form Of so-called
Christianity and church going is a mere
sentimentality; 1t has but sentimental
value. People treasure going to church
because it keep them in society and
because 1t gives them caste
in the business world; because 1t is
customary. The real power OF Chris
tianity and church going is entirely lost
sight of.
I'VE can never realize just what Gods
love and power mean to us until we get
this increased faith and get down to the
real meaning and power of the gospel as
the Bible teaches IT. We need above
everything else, this greater faith; this
larger field OF activity.

ty SO far as they profess prophetic
power, it is important to bear in mind
that "the shadows murmur while the
deeps are dumb
Most Of those who airily talk strike
know from personal experience very
little about strike. They, have in mind
chiefly the brief and successful strike
of two years ago, which involved little
strain. They look upon strikes as they
look upon picnics and frolics and they
are eager for one and are lOquacious in
making known their eagerness. This
element supplies the bulk of the noise
on the street corners and in places of
unofficial assenblagc. But the back
bone Of the Hazleton convention, we
have reason to believe, is made of ma
turer stuff. 1t comprises men who
have been through long and losing
strikes and who know what they in
'volve. They are not talking. They are
not predicting. They are thinking and
working.
Moreover the balance of power at
HaZleton is held by men in sympathy
with the leadership and judgment of
John Mitchell. II he says strike, they
will strike. II he says don't strike
they won't strike. At Shamokn the
convention got away from him. AT the
conference in this city his leadership
was embarrassed ana veXed. At Haz-
Teton he is again IN command. The
reference back to the locals resulted
in renewal OF his prestige and power.
