SLEEPING CHRISTIANS
SUBJECT OF EARNEST SERMON BY
 REV, STEWART MCQUEEN.
Rector of Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter AdmOnishes Hearers to Arouse Themselves from
 LetharEy.

Rev. Stewart Mcqueen, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Com forter, preached an eloquent sermon pn the indifference of some Christians
 He chose as his text: Awake thou that sIeepest, and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light Ephesians VIA.
 MT. Mcqueen spoke as follows:
 When we study this ringing and stirring admonition of the great apos- tie to the Gentiles, immediately six words, full of meaning and, sugges- tiveness stand forth above all the oth- CTS. like lofty mountain peaks upon a plain, They are: Awake, sleepest, arise. dead, Christ, light. Each is closely related to the other. Each an- swers to the other as deep calleth unto deep. Also, they naturally fall into couplets as: Awakening from sleep, arising from the dead. Christ giving light. The first portion constitutes a command: Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead;" the latter. a promise: Christ shall give thee light"
 Moreover, how wonderfully the apos- tie uses a simple fact of our physical Neing fin the service of our spiritual nature and needs. In daily life we awake out of sleep. We arise from death in the sense of temporary uncon- sciousness and the sun gives us light. The apostle bids us do the same thing with regard to spiritual sleep, spirit tal death. We must arise from 1t. Then shall another sun. the sun of Righteousness, give us light, divine and heavenly light.
 Awake thou that sleepest and

arise from the dead" Observe how personal, how direct, how forceful Is this language. It is addressed to the sleepers, the spiritually dead. They make up the largest class in every congrekation and community. Their attitude towards Christ is negative rather than positive. They are not ac- lively hostile to Him. They do not revile and blaspheme His holy name. They are not guilty, as a rule' or shocking sins, such as lying and steal ing, drunkenness and adultery. Oh, no, they are eminently respectable and looked upon by the world at large as fairly good people! Nevertheless they are in a condition almost as bad as that of open and wilful sin. For they are bound hand and foot in the fatal sleep of indifference, the most dImcult state out of which to arouse people. This is so, because Satan, with his own devilish ingenuity, makes them be- lieve that inasmuch as they do not commit what the world calls dreadful sins all is well with them. So they go serenely on their way.
 What matters it if they never en- ter a church from years end to years end except, perhaps, to attend bap- tism or a marriage? What matters 1t that they deal with the Lords day as if they were dumb driven cattle with no souls to be lost or saved, regarding it as a day only for rest and cessation of labor, deal with 1t as @ day when they can take things easy and please themselves? What matters 1t that life is short and eternity long? What matters 1t that a thousand voices are calling to them to awake out of sleep. arise from the dead. grapple manfully with the duties of life, render service to God and their fellowman? What matters it that reason, the facts of ex- perience, the teaching of the gospel, bids them lay hold upon and make use of all means of grace if they would save their souls alive? What matters it that God Himself, their Creator and Preserver. through His inspired Word bids them Awake

almighty heart of God your loving Father, crucifying anew Christ your Savior and quenching the spirit of the Holy Ghost your sanctifer, to say nothing of destroying yourselves for time and eternity by your ungrateful abuse of the means of grace which have been provided for you. It may be you will then turn to your Lord and Mas ter in penitence and faith, with the fixed purpose through the Holy Spirits aid, to amend your ways and your doinEs, which means to arouse your selves from the sleep of indifference, selfrighteousness or feeling, as the case may be.
 And remember the gift promised if you awake out of sleep and arise from the dead: Christ shall give thee light Think who 1t is that makes this promise and what 1t Is He prom tses. It is Christ. the Son of Man and the Son of God. Christ our Savior and our King: Christ our risen and as- cended Lord: Christ who ever liveth to make intercsssion for us; Christ who took His place among the children of men and proclaimed to listening uni- verse: I am the light of the world It Is He who gives the light. Yes. light, the light that brings a message of hope and assurance of sin forgiven, the infinitely precious light that shines from Calvary. It Is light that pene- trates into the hidden reeesses of our lives. It makes us see ourselves as we are, and see also whither we are going. It reveals the present. It shows us forgiveness for the past, 1t discloses victory and a crown in the future. Let us strive to walk in that light. So only may we become the children of light. To this end, let us, by Divine help, work into our hearts and minds that wonderfully searching prayer. Almighty God give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness. and put upon us the armor of light now In the time of this mortal life, in which Thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day. when He shall come s seain in His glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dead. we may rise to the life immortal. through Him who liveth and reighneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost. now ever, Amen

thou that sleepest and arise from the dead?' They care not. None of these things move them. Absorbed in their earthly dreams they are wrapped Tn sIumber, (the spell of indifference), which stupifiss their consciences to eV- cry appeal.
 ..The indifferent arc not the only class of sleepers. There is another almost as large: the self-righteous. They are satisfied with themselves. They do not feel the need of any change, any Inn provement. They feel that they are good enough as they are. They con- stantly compare themselves with their neighbors. and always at their neigh bor's expense. They are especially fond of pointing the finger of criticism and denunciation at the hypocrites In the church, as they charitably call those who do not live according to their mo- tions. They love to affirm there Is no need to belong to the church. and say people can be as good out of 1t as in tiff not better! They thank God they are not as other men are. They speak of religion in a patroniging way, most trying to those who have reverence for it. Self-righteousness and self.satts- faction have deadened to the last de- gree their moral and spiritual sense. And the pitiful part of 1t is, they do not seem to know they are dead. hence they make no effort to arise from the dead. They do not feel the need of Christ. Therefore. they do not seek Him. With what awful meaning the command should come to such: Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead.'
 There is yet a third class of sleep CTS: those who are under the dominion of their feeling. solely. A large class 1t is. and of two kinds. First, those who fancy that religion nnsists in feeling good. They think that if their pur- poses, their desires, their intentions. are good, that is enough. They utter ly fail to realize that these must be translated into conduct, character. life, that they are valueless as aspirations within simply but should be converted into deeds without. They fail to dis tineuish the vast difference between feeling like a Christian and being a Christian. And so they are asleep. and dreaming they do all that God expects of them.
 The other kind of sleepers is made up of those who regulate the doing Of an admitted and recognized duty by their feelings, They fancy if they do not feel like doing it that is sufficient Justification for leaving 1t undone. They make their feelings sort of religious thermometer. just as many people seem to regard religion itself as kind of fire escape. The devil decelves them into believing that God values feeling above everything else. They do not seem to perceive that feeling should be merely a means to an end. that if it does not act upon the wills bringing forth the fruits of right living it is a curse rather than a blessing They 40 not saam te realize that rsliEion is
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-02-06

first, last and always a matter of prin- ciple, and life and character, that feel ing should enter solely as a stimulus and never as an end in itself.
 ITO these sleepers, buried beneath a mass of mistaken and unregulated feelin, the command comesi Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead.
 "Furthermore. just as in physical sleep, awakening must take place, so with you, sooner or later, whether you sleep the sleep of indifference. self righteousness. or feeling. God alone knows when 1t will be. or what form 1t will assume. It may be, you will awake to the realization of the swift flight of time. huTrying you into your grave, and strive to redeem the time because the days are evil, and at last learn now is the accepted time. now is the day of salvation. It may be you will awake to the consciousness of the fact you are grleving continually the

Messrs. John Wiley 6 Sons, New York city, have issued an Adjutants' Manual. compiled by Captain Court land Nixon, 2nd Infantry, U. 8, A.. that is a boon to anyone in military service by reason of the information 1t contains It begins with the law providing ap- pointments and continues with general and office duties, returns and reports, non-commissioned ofioerS' appoint ments. rosters. boards, court-martlaL etc., throughout the list of various duties that fall upon the Adjutant in both office and field. records and drill. Tn fact it practically covers everything the Adjutant has to do with during his twenty-four-hour day each day of the year. It is certain to prove of inestimable value to the oflcer of the regular service. when assigned to duty as an Adjuant for the first time. or re- turning to that duty after a long de- tail of other nature. To the officer of the National Guard 1t will be of still greater value. he having practically no opportunities to become acquainted with the great variety of forms that go through the office and little to post himself upon the regulations pertain ing to the duties. The volume is com prehensively indexed, making 1t easy to find any subject. The forms are clearly illustrated or explained and the authority for each statement quoted.

The Ordnance Department of the Army has suspended the issue of the new model magazine rife to the army as result of reports received by the general stan from United States army officers with the Japanese and Russian armies in Manchuria, which tend to show that the American arm is not equipped with a proper bayonet. The new model rife. about so.000 of which have already been manufactured, Is provided with q rod bayonet. The military history of the past forty years up to the outbreak of the war in the Far East, minimized the value of the bayonet. Reports received from Man churia, however. show that the bay onet has been of incalculable use in the war there, and for this reason the officers of the Ordnance Department intend to ascertain whether or not the rod bayonet with the new arm will meet all the possible demands of mod ern warfare.

Another token of Germany's alertness in matters of military education ap- pears in the fact that fifteen officers of the General Stan of the German army have been assigned to study the Japan csc language in the school of Oriental languages at the University of Berlin, in addition to which regular courses in Japanese and Chinese will shortly be established at the Royal Military Col Iege. The German authorities evident ly believe that the Orient Is bound to be the scene of international rivairies in the future. and have, therefore, re- solved that the German army shall in- c1ude officers familiar with the Ian. guage of the two countries whose des- tinies seem likely to be affected by changing condition. Germanys enter prise in this respect might be profitably emulated by other Governments, in- cluding our own.
