ST. STEPHENS CHURCH.

At the Episcopal church last Sunday
the rector, the Rev. w. T. Forsythe
spoke from the text in Rev. 80, 10;
"After this | beheld, and 10, great
multitude, which no man could number
of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples
and tongues, stood before the throne
and before the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, and palms in their hands and
cried with loud voice saying, Salvation
to our God, which stitch upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb" Also from
Matt. % 20: "And He saith unto them
Whose is this image and superscription?
Saturday was All Saints Day, day of
prayer for all the saints of the past and
present.
We owe much to the past The pre-.
ceding generations established and built
up our civilization, home comforts,
national life, philosophy and science.
We receive all these things as common
matters of fact, without considering how
we come to enjoy them. We inherit all
these advantages from our ancestors.
We should not hesitate to initiate the
good of the past, along with the prac-
teal.
Inspiration comes from ideals. Often
saints of the past became incorporated
into one pre-eminent character. Leader
ship is of three kinds: the first is Per
sonality. Napoleon's magnetic influence
could do anything with his men. The
second is the truth which the man eX-
presses. Shakespeare and Bacon attract
by their great truths. The last is that
indefinable something called "holiness.
We feel and see it, but cannot define it,
1t is the larger manifestation of good In
one man than another. We feel the
power OF goodness. We like the good
we acknowledge their likeness to God
We can follow the saints, even as they
followed Jesus.
The characteristics of sanity life
are patience, self-denial, belief, enthusi-
asm, missionary zeal and self consecra.
ton, Enthusiasm and personal respon.
siblity are lacking in the twentieth
century. Every Christian must bear his
| own share of responsibility. The great

need of the church today is the feeling OF
personal responsibility of its members.
There are now several churches In YER
mont without pastors, because there Is
no one to take the pulpits. The church
does not pay her ministers a living sal
ary, so that young men prefer to enter
any other profession than that of the
ministry. The individual members of
the church should feel a personal inter-
est In this matter, and help by their en-
thusiasm and money to make 1t possible
for young man to enter the ministry
without being hampered with financial
endorsements.
The Woman's auxiliary of st. Ste
phen's church will meet on Thursday
afternoon, November ID, and consider
the subject of emissions in South Amer
ica."

speakers on the lecture platform. Mrs.
Scott was born slave in Clinton
County, Mo-, January 2lst, 1870. and
received her freedom by the amendment
to the constitution in 1865. Her master
had very strong personal reasons for
being interested in her welfare, and
encouraged her early education. After
gaining her freedom. she continued to
prosecute her studies with diligence and
fitted herself for teaching in the public
schools, which she did with great success
for twenty years. For the last five
years she has been engaged in travelling
and lecturng in the interests of the
Western college, located at Macon, Mo.
She is now in the employment of the
American Home Baptist Miss ion Society,
and will give her time entirely to lectur-
ing in behalf of the education of her
people. Mrs. Scott has special qualities
for this important service. Her eX-
perience enables her to speak effectively
of slavery with its limitations, and of
freedom with its opportunities. As a
public speaker she is tactful and
eloquent. Her address at the Ami
versaries at Rochester created a pro-
found impression. DR.. o. p. Clifford
says "Having heard Mrs. William Scott
in my pulpit, | take pleasure in COM
mending her as strong, clear thinker
and eloquent speaker No intelligent
audience can listen to her without being
profoundly impressed with her person
ality, and the cause for which she so
earnestly pleads.

METHODIST CHURCH.

Rev. E. S. Guernsey, the pastor of
the Methodist church, did not evince any
fatigue over the labor he assumed in
taking care of the Preachers Institute
during the week, but discussed the sub
iect of "Christian Unity" in his usual
vigorous style.
The text was the Sd and 18th verses of
the 18th chapter of Ephesians, which
read "Endeavorlng to keep the unity of
the spirit in the bond of peace. There is
one body and one spirit, even as We are
called in one hope of your calling The
following verses read zone Lord, one
faith, one baptism, one God and Father
of all, who is above all and through all,
and in you ALL
The message of the apostle was from
the prison where he was confined, as he
his appeal to his followers was to walk
worthy of the vocation wherewith We
are called, with all lowliness, forbearing
one another in love" The teachings
of Paul were in close sympathy with the
attitude of the Saviour; love, peace and
unity pervade all his writings and per-
sonal teachings. Under whatever provo
cation there was not to be resentment.
keep the unity of the spirit in the bond
of peace" The idea was carried out by
the speaker in reference to the entire
Christian brotherhood. Emulate the
spirit of Christian unity in your walk
before the world. Religious views are
not merely to be held by the individual,
but are to be extended in all the walks
of life. The mere pretense of religion
never saved soul. Action, as In bus
mess pursuits, is required.
The entire epistle is a lesson of love,
not only of the Father, and the Son He
sent for the worlds redemption, but to
all who profess to be followers of the
Prince of Peace. The church is likened
to the family where no two may be
alike in their individual personificatlons
but the ties of blood will bind them in
interest and filial affection, though dis
lance may separate them.
The breaking up of family, where the
young man or young woman goes out
from the home, was given earnest con-
sideration. He considered 1t the most
important step IN the life of every indi-
vidual. If the home life and the home
teaching has been on the lines of Chris
tian unity, the home and Its ties will
never he fOrpOtten
The association of men together for a
common purpose often discovers a
fidelity on the part of the individuals, as
in the case OF the banding together of
the miners, who believed they lad
wrongs to be righted and redressed,
but when their purpose has been effected
the feeling of unity will not be as strong
as that of the family tie or of the unity
of purpose of the Christian, whose devo-
ton is eternal. The divine idea shall
never fail to support the true believer.
Station in life has no effect on spiritual
cohesion. The humble in life will be as
exalted as the great and good. The
individuals of the family are diversified
in their characteristics, but the care of
the father and the tenderness of the
mother 60 out to the faithful alike. So
Is the love of God to all who love and
obey Him and keep His commandments.
