Eloquent Sermon or Memory and

Eloquent Sermon on Memory and
Duty" by the Rev. o~uickenden.
The Memorial sermon at the Pres.
byterian church Sunday was preached
by the pastor, Rev. Henry Quicken
den, and was on the subject, Mem
DRY and Duty" The text was from
Joshua 1:3, Moses my servant is
dead. now therefore arise and go ov.
er this Jordan" Mr.. Quickenden
said in part:
The death of Moses-leader, sol
der, statesman-had already given
occasion to the army and common
wealth of Israel TO re,cre his mem
DRY and mourn his loss for forty days.
1t was well in the sight of God that
they had ceased from the campaign
to recall the virtues of their brave
commander. whom they might well
initiate. But continued mourning and
inaction was not the whole of duty
or propriety. They were camped just
in sight of the promised land. There
was Jordan to be crossed: and be-
yond Jordan the land was theirs only
on condition that they conquer it and
drive out the heather tribes. There
fore did God say in effect. 1t is true
that my servant Moses is dead and
you have done well TO stop for awhile
to revere his memory; but now duty
calls you to cross this Jordan and
face the dangers of the hostile tribes
and solve the problems of your new
civilization
1T is not otherwise with us at oul
Memorial season. We recall the lives
of those who bravely died for theiI
country in her day of need. We pay
our debt of gratitude and are our
selves ennobled and stimulated by the
CONCENTRATIONS of the hour. But oul
Jordans of duty, difficulty and dan
ger are to be crossed and are even
now calling us from our repose. We
must arise from the memories of oul
patriotic dead and ourselves do thu
deeds of brave men. In and beyond
| the Jordans Of u crises Is enough
| TO try our mettle. There is neither
| peace nor truce in the age-long con
| iict of the evil against the, good
This land Is ours to have and to holt
only on condition that We are patri
otto enough to arise and drive GU
the hordes of vice and establish firm
ly those spiritual forces of truth, TEN
perance, purity, education and relig
ion. Ii we neglect these, the govern
ment and civilization We prize will
totter and fall, and the sacrifices o
our soldier dead will have been il
vain. There is no higher patriotism
than that exhibited by the life of dai
ly duty well performed and courag
eous conflict with spiritual foes with
in and without each human life"

During early Victorian days much was made
in humor dealing with literary people or the
piteous penny liner. These Jokes are now oo-
solete and the single family amusing thought
one could now connect with them would depend
on the vulgarIty Of ones own feelings on the
subject Of small as opposed to large means For
no one now would think the shilling a liner. the
five shilling a liner or the guinea a liner In the
least funny, or, in any sense. reproach TO the
fine profession OF letters. At the present time
every English writer whether distinguished or
popular or obscure IS paid by the word-his Zee
is so much per thousand words. 1t is. therefore.
to his interest and bodily wellbeing to pad. to
spin out 70 forget every elementary rule of
good prose writing or clear thinking; to go on
telling the tiresorne loves Of one Harry and one
Sylvia at greater length than all the historical
tragedies Of Shakespeare combined; 10 go on and
on detailing notes on some system of philosophy,
some municipal suggestion for the public good.
some political question. some volume or verse,
some biography. some little play. some long
opera, till the subject is wholly lost in the conf
rnentary Voltaire's most famous articles in the
'Encyciopa6ia'' are not half so long as the av-
erage leader dealing for the ffieth time with the
AIid-Herts election. The multiplication Of un-
necessary wor5s-each representing bit Of
rnoney-is a national calamity. 1t has affected
transactions Of all business, public or private;
the composition of every class OF book. the
newspapers. and. finally. the mind Of the race.
Dictated letters are seldom coherent; speeches
are rarely tolerable; most accomplished
writer's torment themselves to make five hundred
useless sentences as effective as one pointed SEN
tnce. and twenty chapters do the duty Of
paragraph In art every line should be alive.
and In speech whether domestic commercial or
rhetorical, every remark should convey q direct
notion-otherwise IL may be called dead But
what do we find? People think their INDECENT,
valueess, INFESTED and uncOnsidered thoughts
aloud: no child is ever taught how to control his
mental processes: no man is ever asked to put
his ideas into concise form. II he has any rep
utation he viii be asked what his terms for
his vocabulary. If the editor and publisher can
not afford his best examples OF the verbose they
will content themselves with the most tedious
