RELIGION THE FIRST DUTY.
BY Rev Pearse PiHek

The ten commandments seem to many
people to be in the wrong order. in that
they say too little about our duties to
our fellowmen and leave that little to the
last.
Not till we get TO the sixth command
ment are we forbidden to kill. Sabbath
breaking and profanity seem TO be made
worse offenses than stealing and lying. Is
there an inverted moral order in this code
Of the ancient law giver? Why are re-
ligious duties put before the duties We
owe our fellowmen?
The worlds estimate would change the
order, and probably leave religious duties
out of the moral code altogether. Men
who would not steal a pin or railroad
are sometimes wholly irreligious. and
seem TO feel that there is no moralwrong
in ii.
Is irreligion a moral offense, or is it
not? Most men do not regard il wrong.
But are they right? Would irreligion be
to an interrupted moral sense any such
sin as murder? Is Indifference TO religion
due to low adjustment of conscience to
life? This is worth thinking about.
If irreligion is a moral offense as seri-
Gus as the others we certainly cannot
treat it so in law.
We accept the principle that religion
must be free. The sheriff cannot COM
mand it. Prison cannot enforce it. In
its very nature il must be free. For that
reason 1t may be the world is losing a
sense of the moral wrong of irreligiOn.
Because a man must not be jailed or
whipped for irreligion the average man
concludes there is no wrong in ii.
Irreligion puts a false estimate into ell
human affairs. We have to know what
men are in their widest relations before
we see just what are our duties to them.
If we are superior kind of brute deal
ing with other similar brutes, that is one
thing But if we are beings related to
God with destinies, that Is another thing.
TO destroy the life of men is murder, but
to destroy the life of brutes may be in
nocent of all wrong. Men are subject to
the first four of the ten commandments.
and for that reason our duties to them
are different and higher. To leave relig-
ion out is to demoralize human estimates
and leave the way open to any sort Of
| immortality.
Religion is needed for balance. Life
cannot be healthy with the chief Fart
left out.
To be irreligious is to become over
grown on the earthward side. The at
tempt of a nature made to be immortal to
live it's whole life in three score years
and ten can hardly fail Of being disas-
| trOus go
Religion has been tremendous force
in all human life The material for re-
ligion is In all men. 4 ippress or ig-
more religion is to come int a disordered
way of life. If we do not have religion
in healthful operation we are sure to put
something else in place of it.
! Were our people TO turn wholly away
from the sane and uplifting religion OF
Jesus Christ, all manner OF vile supersti'
tons would come in to take its place. This
all means that every man ought to attend
to his religion as the first duty.

TWELVE MISSIONARIES.
BY Rev. ktftredge Wheeler,

Sometimes the change of a word helps
to the idea, and sets forth in clear light
the thought. The word apostle is Greek,
and seems much farther removed from
cur religious vocabulary than the Latin
word missionary. What help to The
church, since the days of the King James
Version at least, this slight change in
translation would have been. Jesus chose
twelve missionaries whom he educated
and sent forth. This is exactly and def
nltely what Jesus did; and this one word,
missionary, in the place of the Greek
word apostle, might have prevented the
controversy between mission and anti
mission churches.
What fine reading that would be to-
day, in all Christian churches, and how
it would open the eyes of many of the
selishly blinded souls who call themselves
followers of that Saviour who gave him.
self to God and to man and the truth!
4 Christian but not a missionary! Not
sent forth in the name of Jesus, to serve
hml. Impossiblei \ Saviour who was
crrcifed, who died upon the cross to give
the truth of God to the world. to reveal
the love of God to all mankind. and yet
his followers giving nothing. doing little,
to extend the kingdom and the knowl-
edge of Jesus Christ. Doing little for
Jesus: little for men.
Jesus chose twelve missionaries, Read
your Bible that way! Put the word mis-
sionary in the place of apostle. And yet,
q as! there are teachers and leadf IS and
Off eers in the churches who Sre so ortho-
dox that they will not give up the King
james Version. nor will they accept any
change in the English translation. There
are teachers and officers IN the churches
to-day who seem to think that God and
the Holy Spirit spoke English, and that
the King James is the original language
Of Jehovah. For this reason the Bible is
to-day to so many a sealed. closed book.

with him the prestige of his educational
perience of his labors as a member of
the New York Legislature. He reached
Il congenial atmosphere at once. and,
while attending to the interests of his
government, refreshed his memories of
student life in Germany and made the
acquaintance of many celebrities. Not
only was he personally acceptable to
the Germans, but his ministry fell on a
time when the relations between the
United States and Germany were I'M

Of all was the attitude of press and
public toward the United States. This
had become embhtered through COM
mercial rivalry and the war of tariffs,
and aggravated by rising sympathy
betweeL England and the United
States. so that the slightest pretext
was enough to bring into sharp relief
the underlying irritation. When the
trouble with Spain broke out 1t was in
the nature OF things that the potent
official class in Germany should believe
in the people who had large standing
army and a more than respectable
navy: ii was expected that by land and
sea the United States would suffer at
first number of serious disasters be-
fore she could set enough experienced

was one that required in the American
ambassador the greatest experience.

Irritated because in many respects our
tariff works to the disadvantage of
German exports. and enraged because
German colonies remain uneolonlzed
and emigration to America continues,
the press and public of the fatherland
seized on the Spanish war as the occa-
sion to ventilate IFS spite and soothe it's
