MINISTER BUILDS TEXT
ON THE "L|TTLE GOSPEL ="
Character. of Victor Hugo's Novel
Also Used to Illustrate the
Power of Love.
RECEPTION FOR TONIGHT

Taking his text from John iii, 16 For
God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son that whatsoever believeth
in Him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life" the Rev. H. w. Kellogg drew
an eloquent picture of the loving care and
kindness which the Son of God provides for
all. in his sermon yesterday morning at
Central-avenue Christian Church.
The preacher dweTt earnestly upon the
scope of the meaning of the text, likening
II to the tent of the Arab, which, when
folded. can be put in the pocket, but when
opened covered the world
$50 ii is with the love of Cod he said
at is broad and all are sharers of it.
when Christ spoke of the love of God
for His people ii was the supreme mo-
ment of history. Nature is the gift of the
mind and power of God. Redemption, the
greatest of ALL is the gift or love. To
show His love for us He gave His son
that we would not perish.
Christ was crucified on the cross that
we might have life" The preacher spoke
of the tender appeal made by God for our
love. Taking the hero of Hugo, Jean VAL
jean, in Les Misera bles,'' he illustrated
what love can do in Strengthening a mans
life
At the Central-avenue Church tonight a
reception will be rendered to $50 new mem
bers of the church. The Rev. Mr.. kellogg
will make a brief address OF welcome and

PRAISES WASHINGTON FOR
HIS HIGHER PATRIOTISM
Minister Addresses Members of
Patriotic Orders on a Timely
Topic in Sermon.
LAUDS LOVE OF COUNTRY

Added interest given the Rev. Mr..
Philputt's sermon on Higher Patriotism
yesterday by the presence of members of
Sons of the Revolution and other patriotic
orders. The Sons of the Revolution marched
in body TO the church.
The text, chosen on account of the prox-
unity of Washingtons birthday. was Isaiah
TX, /: arise, shine, for thy light is come
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee"
"Gibbon devotes may volumes to the de-
cline and fall of the proud empire of the
Caesars" said he. Nothing has ever atoned
for the disappearance of ancient Greece.
China has taught the world nothing In
dia gives forth no help we could not do
without. The Mohammedan world has not
for millennium enriched mankind with a
noble thought
"Our nation was freeborn. Men of large
mold shaped its early destinies and guided
it safely on.
The noblest of them all was Washington
How large he still looms on the coun-
untarnished renown. His wisdom, his cour-
age, his patience and his unseihshnesS are
as difficult as they are worthy Of imitation.
Position, ease and all else he made sub
ordinate to his country. II is fitting that
we should make this the occasion of preach
ing the higher patriotism.
1T is no easy virtue Our people have
always responded TO a splendid dare to be
heroic but the less spectacular traits of JUS
tice. unselfishness and public spirit are too
much dimmed by self-love and luxury Pat
riotism is not simply love of country, but
of what that country stands for. of what
il is to be among the nations of the earth.
Mr.. Chamberlain has said that n vague
attachment TO the human race is a poor SUBJ
stitute for the performance of our duties as
citizens and the profession of universal
philanthropy no excuse for neglecting the
interests of ones own country
True, but should not patriotism, which
is a passion belonging TO the narrower
sphere, suggest that benevolence, which
goes out to all nations in kindly deeds
Does not a mans love for his own family
guide him TO a warmer feeling for all men s
families
The higher feeling of love to ones neigh
Dor is the solution. | should be false to
my position well TO any conviction if
/ did not say that as this is a Christian
nation it is the part of patriotism TO send
the evangel of mercy TO all lands
Let our apostles Of righteousness go

darkness. The struggle for self-preserva-
ton is over"

ELEVEN CONVERSIONS
At GOSPEL MEETING
Evangelist Tests Assertion by
Testimony of Men in the
Congregation.

A remarkable meeting was held at the
Meridian-street NJ. e. Church last evening.
in the series of evangelistic services now
being conducted there. The church was
nearly filled with audience three-fourths
of which were men, very unusual condi-
ton, especially as no special attempt had
been made to draw men to il. Evangelist
CroSSley preached on Conversion" and
at the end of his powerful address fourteen
men rose for prayers. and eleven of these
afterward went forward and professed con-
version.
In the course of his sermon the Rev Mr.
Crossiey made the statement that when a
person gets beyond thirty years OF age the
probabilities are strong against his con-
version. To test this statement the stand
ing testimony of the Christians in the audi
ence was taken. None was found who had
been converted when past fifty years of age

PROPER FOUNDATIONS
SOURCE OF STRENGTH
Rev. M. c. Pearson Draws a Les
son from the Building of Great
Suspension Bridge.
FIVE CARDINAL TRUTHS

Large congregations are the rule at the
First Friends Church of this city. Rev.
Morton c. Pearson is a progressive minister
and forcible speaker. Yesterday morn
ing, talking on the subject of 'Founda-
tions, he said in part:
II would suggest some very forcible and
instructive portions of Scripture for our
consideration this morning. Nevertheless,
the foundations of God standeth sure;
For other foundation can no man lay than
that is laid which is Jesus Christi; L lay
IN Zion for foundation a tried stone.
When the remarkable confession was made
by Peter that Jesus was the Christ, the
Son OF the living God Jesus replied that
upon such confession He would build His
church and the gates of hell should not
prevail against it.
I'VE are impressed by these texts that
God was exceedingly careful for the foun-
dations of His church He was cautious
that men should build the church and in
dividual life upon safe and sure founda-
tons. In the erection OF some of the tow
ering buildings in parts of Chicago the
question of a safe foundation is very i'm
portant. Excavations are made 10 the
driven into the earth. upon which 12xl2
beams are placed. Then follow two layers
OF railroad irons. upon which is placed sew
eral inches OF cement. Upon all this the
builders lay their foundations.
In New York there is a large suspension
bridge for thirteen railroad tracks, besides
the space Tor roadway and WalkWayS. 1nlS
bridge is sustained by four cables fifteen
inches in diameter which are fastened to
two great towers, one either side of the
river. That these towers should be strong
and firm enough 10 sustain such an i'm
mense weight excavation was made 175 feet
deep TO solid rock, and here the foundation
begins. IL so much precaution is taken in
the erection of material. perishable struc-
lures. how much more in the building OF
immortal life and character and the church
of Jesus Christ.
These are times when mems faith is
tried. The very foundations of God are be-
ing tested. Every available force is being
brought TO bear against God. the Bible and
Christianity TO overthrow and overturn
lOng-standing beliefs. We are in the midst
OF intellectual unrest and uncertainty rela-
tive 10 fundamentals. Ii is comforting TO
feel that in the midst OF these conditions a
voice proclaims still that the foundations
of God standeth sure. From the vast
number OF cardinal principles and truths
which are fixed and established in the
minds of many / would bring to you five
faith:
Il Loyalty to Jesus Christ as the divine
Son of God
20. Loyalty 10 the Bible as the inspired
and revealed word OF God
%. Loyalty to the Holy Spirit the
representative and agency of God In the
conviction and regeneration OF men.
~. Loyalty TO the church as the or
ganized agency OF God in the evangelical
ton OF the world.
IS. Loyalty 10 the missionary spirit as
the expression OF the far-reaching purposes
of God for the world

SERMON AN ANALYSIS Of
WASH|NGTON'S CHARACTER
Minister Lauds Father of His
Country for Grandeur of
Personal Life.
REQUEST TO POSTERITY

In the estimation of the Rev. Albert
Hurlstone, the death of Senator Marcus A.
Hanna was one of the events which would
decide the destiny of the Nation. In his
sermon last night on THE Moral Grandeur
of Washington he analysed the character
of the first President and discussed the
state of the United States from his death
to the passing last week of Senator Hanna.
1.-The American Republic was born of
God" he said. ut rests upon patriotism,
religion and morality
Taking his text from jeremiah xvii, Z, he
continued:
ITO mention Washington's name is to be
reminded of the solemn fact that Gods I'M
seen hand rules among the children of men.
In this he firmly believed and we who
look back cannot doubt the blessed truth.
An ingenious youth, with strong arm and
disciplined will. just spirit. an obedient
heart; a student moralist surveyor SOL
der, we cannot but admire the self-reliance
OF this veritable king among men. The
foremost man of his age, well qualified to
dent, distant and exceedingly dignfed-
some spoke OF him as cold and reserved
Yet there beat within his breast a great
heart, which had implicit trust in God
Speaking of BraddOck's defeat, he wrote
by the all-powerful dispensation of Provi-
dence L have been protected beyond all hu-
man probability, Tor had four bullets
through my coat and two horses shot under
me- yet l escaped -unhurt, while death was
leveling my companions on every side of
me- The hand of God is no less clearly
seen in the construction of the remarkable
Cabinet, who were the advisers of this hero
and patriot in the early days of the gov
eminent. In an age when so MAN. of our
young men turn away from the God of
their fathers, IL is we'll to study the moral
greatness of these men who laid the foun-
dations of our national life. There is no
supreme character except through a lofty
creed
Called by his country to the defense
of her liberties. he triumphantly INDICATED
the rights of humanity, and on the pillars
of national independence laid the founda-
tions of a great republic. Twice invested
with supreme magfstracy by the unanimous
vote OF a free people, he surpassed I'm the
Cabinet the glories of the field. and. volun-
tarily resigning the scepter and the sword,
retired 10 the shades of private life. a
spectacle so new and so sublime con-
templated with the profoundest admiration
and the name OF Washington. adding new
luster TO humanity, resounded 10 the re-
hottest regions of the earth. Magnanimous
i'm youth. glorious through life, great in
death his highest ambition the happiness
OF mankind, his noblest victory the con-
quest of himself. Bequeathing TO posterity
the inheritance of his fame and building
his monument in the hearts of his coun-
trymen, ne lived the ornament OF the eight
zenith century; he died regretted by a
mourning world"
