IAN MAJLAREN'S FAREWELL SERMON.
By DIR. Charles D. McIver.

the foundations Of many generations
On them lay the creation of new
Temple, a new capital, new name.
To them every change was charged
with hope, and no shadow of loss min
gled with their exultatiOn. This was
the best day they had ever seen,
and better days were before them, so
the younger men shouted aloud for
joy. No one can blame the elder men
because they sorrowed. it was their
just tribute to a sacred past; no one
can blame the younger men because
they rejoiced, it was their just con-
fidence in splendid future.
Human life has its moments of
transition, and they are marked by
conflicting emotions wherein we eth
er weep or laugh very much accord
ing to our age. There is no gladder
day than when two young people
go forth together to lay the fOunda-
ton of another home in the high ex-
pectation of youth, and with the light
of love shining upon them. No
shadow should be cast on this joy,
but there are other hearts concealing
their sadneSs-the father for whose
daughter another man will care even
more tenderly than he has done, and
the mother whose son will now have
a nearer charge upon his heart than
she has been. Two hearts are to
be filled with the treasure of love-
but other hearts have a keen sense
of loss. The social changes which have
been going on throughout the State
affect very differently the older and
the younger generations. The former
reminder with wistful regret the days
when a landlord was a chief and his
tenants were his clansmen; when the
employer was like a father. with his
men as members of common house
hold; when mistress was as a moth
er to the maids, and they continued
till marriage or old age in the fam
lly when political power lay with
the few who were considered to have
intelligence for government. The lat
ter welcome the new era with it's
radical changes, and dwell with sat
isfaction upon the abolition of privi-
leges, the equality of political rights,
the independence of labour. the free
opportunity for advancement the pre-
mium laid on enterprise, upon the
reign of the Democracy. 1t is in
evitable that those who have worked
for this new condition should be glad.
but it is also inevitable that those who
recall the reverence and quietness
and trust of other days should see
them depart with grave concern.
Again. change within the Church af-
fects very differently the fathers and
the children The trumpets sound
when two religious communities be-
come one. but there will be always
some to miss the old home. When
worship is improved it is for the great
er good of the Church, but some will
banker after the ancient customs
which have been abolished. 1t is
right that the creed should be amend
ed as the Spirit of God leads the
Church into fuller light. but the faith
of the fathers had been intertWlned
with the hallowed form of words.
The past must be buried and it may
not hold the present in its dead hand.
but it carries with it to the grave
half the heart of the older genera

1t was my privilege three weeks age
in Liverpool to hear the farewell SER
mon of Rev. DR.. John Watson Clan
Maclaren) delivered to an immense
congregation in the church which he
founded just twenty-five years ago and
which he has served continuously as
pastor since its foundation.
His congregation had just present
ed him with $4,000 as parting
gift. and Liverpool, through the Lord
Mayor and distinguished representa-
tives of all classes of its citizens,
was to give him special civic honors
at a great reception on the following
Tuesday night.
Admission to the church was by
ticket and 1t was due to the stormy
day perhaps that the ushers were able
to find two unclaimed seats for State
Superintendent Joyner and myself.
The house was literally packed and
the entire service-reading, music,
and prayer-was such as would ap-
peal to the artistic sense and inspire
the noblest emotions of the soul.
Since then / have found myself con-
stantly wishing that my own people
in North Carolina might have heard
the sermon of this gifted author and
ed in the British Weekly l brought
a copy home that / might offer 1t
to the readers of the Sunday News
and Observer.
THE Conflict Between the Past and
the Present" was his theme, and while
peculiarly fitting the occasion for
which it was prepared, the truth pre-
sented does not depend for effective
ness upon any special time or place.
CHARLES d. McIVER.
The text and sermon were as fol-
lows:
Many of the priests and Lev
'ites and chief of the fathers who
were ancient men that had seen
the first house, when the founda-
ton OF this house was laid before
their eyes, wept with a loud
voice, and many shouted aloud
for joy."-(Ezra III. 12.)
when opposite currents meet at a
headland there is always troubles
water on which the ships are toss
ed up and down, and two strong emo
tions running in different directions
mingled when the returning exiles
laid the foundation of the new Tenn
pie at Jerusalem. There were men
present who remembered the House
OF the Lord which was built by Solo
mon. and who recalled its glory. Sad
ly had they left that Temple. faith
fully had they cherished its likeness
within their hearts, and fondly did
they recognise it's very ruins No
doubt a new house was needed for
the worship of the Lord but it could
never i'm the nature of things have
the same place in their love as the
old And at the thought of the for
mer Temple the elder men wept with
loud voice. 1t was also in the ma
ture of things that the younger men
should be in another mood They
had grown up in a foreign land and
been cheered with the visions of re-
storation. Their hope had been full
filed beyond all they had imagined,
and now with high courage and the
optimism of youth they were re- build

railroad desired a years time to make the
change, and the bill was recommitted 70
the Cities Committee on the promise OF
Speaker Nixon that it would be reported by

phone and asked the Senator TO come ana

refused to do. Whereupon Mr.. Bedeu Is
lsaid to have remarked over the telephone;
Then will kill your bill, and he kept
his word.
But Senator SAKE was bound to get even
and he looked over Mr.. Bedell's legislation
and learned Of the dixie bill, which was In
the possession Of the Senate Finance Com

Bedell the ultimatum Of hts Eleventh avenue
bill or no dixie bill, and be managed to keep
