and do and how wonderful are these
powers! We are gifted by the Lord
with these powers in order that we
may come into new states of life.
that our power to love, understand
and achieve may continue. And
this is possible as we are taught in
the first Psalm under all circum-
stances of life. For of him who
''walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat
of the scornful, but whose delight
is in the law of the Lord, it is said
that whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper" The 'law of the Lord"
is not merely written law, but a
method of operation. And ii we
conform our lives to the Divine
ways by ceasing to do the wrong
and by practicing the good, the
principles of righteousness become
rooted in our natures. We come
into the stream of Divine Provi-
dence and we shall prosper in all
things. For true prosperity is Of
the soul. A man may succeed in an
earthly way, but not prosper in
reality.
1t is comforting then to be as
sured that he who looks to the Lord
in his daily life and does His will
shall enter upon continually new
states of life. 1t is of comfort that
he who has led an evil life and has
trampled upon the rights of the
neighbor can have his life made
new. 1t is gratifying to feel that
however much sorrow, or pain, or
trouble we may have it will all pass
away. The Lord has come in His
opened Word revealing its spiritual
sense, the true doctrines Of its holy
letter and the future life that all
the old errors and falsities may
pass away, that we may be led into
ever increasing light and love. We
can enter into "the Joy of the Lord
now by learning to live from Him.
by coming under the influence of
His life. His Joy is the JOY of doing
for others seeking to be of use.

NEW YEARS SERMON.


Rev, L. G. Landenberger, Of St.
Louis, the missionary pastor of the
Church of the New Jerusalem,
preached at the New Church Chapel
last Sunday morning on the words:
"Behold, | make all things new. y"
Revelations xxI:5.
He said in part: This is one of
the most comforting passages in
the sacred scriptures. We live in a
world that is subject to change,
but the changes we are called upon
to undergo are according to Divine
order. We see this in the changes
we pass through from infancy to
manhood and womanhood, the one
state preparing US tor the rest.
The child passes through expert
ences that prepare it for entering
youth and youth experiences are
necessary for the age of manhood
and womanhood.
But it is not only true IN this life
that change is the order OF life, but
it is true of life in the spiritual
world. The angels do not always
live in heighth of MONDAY splen-
dor, but they have their morning
which verges toward state similar
to our noon.day and which passes
into a state corresponding to our
evening time. But there is no
nlght in heaven. And what wish
TO especially point out is that these
changes are necessary ia order that
their lives may become more and
more perfected. Thus the inhabi-
tants of heaven are entering upon
new states of life continually.
When we enter upon new year
we ought to do as the wise mer-
chant, take AN inventory of our
In the second lesson
read from the Word the Lord speaks
about "talents" having been en-
trusted to us to be used. The pre-
vailing idea is that by ''talents" is
meant to have faculty for music,
painting, for doing some special
kind of work. While this is in
volved in the idea, yet by talents"
s really meant that man has been
provided by the Lord with the
knowledge of Divine and Heavenly
.hings. BY talents" is meant sill
ver, and by silver is signifed the
.ruths of the Word by the use of
which we can come into the possess
non of the life of Heaven.
To ''hide the talent in the earth
s to use our knowledge of the
world only for selfish and worldly
nds, but to double our talents is to
make not only natural, but also a
piritual use of them. For to doubled
a the scripture sense is to learn

GEN. JOHN B. GORDON DEAD.

the capitol, Commander Clement
A. Evans, of the Georgia division,
United Confederate Veterans, has
issued a call to all veterans in the
South to attend the funeral.
1t is probable that a large num-
ber Of Georgia and neighboring
States will have part in the funer-
al, which will be one of the most
imposing ceremonies Of its kind
that has taken place in the South
since the close of the Civil War.
The hold which Gen. Gordon
had upon the love and confidence
of the old soldiers Of the South
was extraordinary. His claim to
his high office amounted to almost
a divine right and his term was
equivalent to life tenure. At no
place better than the Confederate
gathering in this city, in 1897,
was the sentiment which the vet
Grams entertained for the gallant
soldier manifested. At the time
of this reunion Gen. Gordon had
served as commander for eight
years, and came to Nashville pre-
pared to retire from the position.
He carried his dissemination to
platform of the tabernacle. The
reception of it by the Confederate
Veterans assembled there was one
of the most affecting incidents in
the history of that famous organi-
zation, whose annual meetings
have been prolific of thrilling stu.
ations.
"Nol Mop echoed from every
quarter of the auditorium at the
first intlmation of the leaders in
tentions. The cries were a signal
of demonstration which swept the
convention from its feet in an in
stant. Men shouted wildly. Others
climbed upon the branches and
waved their banners 'frantically.
Many wept like broken, hearted
children. 1t was beautiful trib-
ute to grand man. 1t was one
of the most eloquent endorsements
ever given to a man in any place. |
Even those who looked on the
proceedings purely as observers
responded to its pathos and the
real glory of it.
When the demonstration had
finally been allayed, Gen. Gordon
spoke again.
