CHRISTIAN RELIGION
HAS 4 DEEP MOTIVE
DR.. Norton Compares Difficulty
Faiths, Speaks of Difficulty of
Making Application.

At the Downey-avenue Christian Church
in Irvington yesterday the Rev. Frank w.
Norton preached from the text found in
III Corinthians V, II: Therefore if any
man be in Christ he is a new creature. Old
things are passed away; behold, all things
are become new"
Mr.. Norton spoke of the difficulty of
adapting religion to life and of remaining
sincere to ones creed The ancient Jewish
religion he said. is largely a matter of ex-
ternal form and does not enter into the every
day life. while the pagan religion is almost
altogether detached from the daily, practi-
cal life, and is but a custom of conven-
tionality. Continuing, he said
In the religion of true Christianity II is
not so True Christianity is not so de-
tached from the deeper motives of life. A
natural human trait is TO be self-centered.
Paul was moved by a new motive and a
new ain-love of humanity and the carry
ing of the word of Christ to all parts of the
world, that he might contribute all in his
power 10 the glory OF God.
Paul knew all men according TO the
spirit and not according To the flesh And
SO the spirit dominated him in all the mo-
tives of his life" The sermon closed with
an appeal TO the members of the church
to resolve for the new year to be new crea-
lures in the spirit, guided by the example
of Paul.

TO GAIN SUCCESS, MUST
UNITE PEW AND PULPIT
Rev. Quisenberry, New Baptist
Minister, Urges Harmony Be-
tween Laity and Pastor.
APPLIES BIBLE TO LIFE

The Rev H. N. Quisenberry. pastor OF
the College-avenue Baptist Church. at Fiji
teenth street, has but recently come from
New Orleans TO this city to accept the pas
torate of the church. DIT. Quisenberry said
that it was his intention TO build up his
church by seeking a better understanding
between the pew and the pulpit, the con-
gregatiOn and the pastor The sermon yes
a Lion Fight on a Snowy Day" was di-
rected toward inspiring the congregation
with new vigor.
DR.. Quisenberry spoke of the Israelites,
who were constantly fleeing from the Phil
istines, fearing to make a stand and give
them battle. After many years in attempt
ing to escape a battle. the Israelites took
courage and faced their enemies, the Philis-
tines. In the fierce battle which followed
the Philistines were completely vanquished.
Applying this story TO the modern life
DR.. Quisenberry said that the men and
women of this generation are always fee
ing from their tormentor, the devil with
the excuse that they will stop and fight
on the morrow and as a result the NOR
row never comes. If the day is snowy and
disagreeable they do not care 10 make a
stand against the devil. but would rather
wait until the day was fair
DIR. Quisenberry told the story of one OF
the Scriptural characters. who on a snowy
day went down into lions den and slew
the kins of beasts. The pastor urged his
congregation 10 make a stand to-day
against the devil and fight the lion instead
Of waiting for the fair day and the NOR
row.

On the We-a Trail.

Mrs. Lew Wallace writes as follows in a
private letter: Caroline Brown has brought
another honor to our native State, ION the
We-a Trail" a story of Indiana when it
was the Great Wilderness. Her Indians are
true to life genuine savages. not princes of
the woods. The book keeps close to history
and moves with a dash and spirit beyond
the reach of our old friend Cooper. Her
"cider making" and pancake turning are
correct as photographs. and new country
atmosphere surrounds the whole work.
Nature has whispered deep secrets to the
author. She knows the ways of furred and
feathered things and her portrayal of their
wild life is stirring as the whistle of the
quail the drumming of the yellow
hammer. While reading one can scent the
strong sweet odOrs of the untrodden forest,
the wholesome breath of the pines, of mint
light of Indian summer along the bot
TOMS of the Wabash.

thor, Mr. II. L. Piner, and his readers can
not but hope that they form a large audi
ence. Keep in vibration the beautiful i'm
pulses" is the tenor of the book, which is of
undoubted value. Thirty-six short chapters,
written in a clear, forceful manner, treat of
the intimate relation between the psychic
forces and their physical supports, and the
beauty of the latter which is resultant from
perfect harmony between the former and
the ideal. If there is any flaw in the book,

Importance of physical beauty. The admoni-
ton offered is gentle and enga ging is min
gled with thoughtful allusion and charming
description and enforced by apt quotations

The Book of Months.

This very attractive and agreeable new
book, by Mr.. E. F. Benson, author of 'The
Relentless City" etc, purports to reveal
the mental portrait of young London
bachelor as painted by himself. He is a
keen lover of nature, with philosophical in
ciinatons, and his reflections are somewhat
wise and witty. while a very pretty love
story is entwined about his reveries. Upon
the whole, the reader parts with friendly
feeling for the hero. Yet the narrative is
here and there tainted by coarseness and
tFiviality, and the patience of the public
ear may here insinuate that it is tried by
the frequency of confessions in the first per-
son, singular. The volume, from the press
