Will wiliinq, Wind Weak.

Mayor Story, of Atlantic City, was
condemning those Menhaden fisher
men who dredge the Atlantic at points
illegally near the shore for fish that
is only used for fertilizer At the
same time the Mayor pointed out the
difficulty of catching and furnishing
these fishermen. He said:
"On account of the sinful waste OF
good fish that they cause, we would be
only too glad to prosecute these men,
but the means to detect and identify
them are not often at hand. We have
the will but not the power to punish.
We are like the trumpeter in an At
lantic City band.
"This man, native of Germany,
was practicing one night trumpet
obligato, but he did not play anything
like loud enough.
Louder, louder said the leader.
"And the trumpeter redoubled his
efforts
Louder, louder
"And he put On still more steam.
"eLoudeF, louder, louder!'
''The trumpeter banged down his
trumpet and glared at the leader with
eyes that started from their sockets.

to say louder, louder" but ware iss

morally equipped to face this problem;
they did not then possess God nor did
God possess them. They were COM
panions of Christ, but they did not
possess His spirit. But now they were
wholly possessed by the Spirit of God,
and that was the first step toward the
solution of the problem before them.
And it is the first step to-day. You
and I can never help the lame man
until we not only possess God but are
possessed by Him.
Another element in the solution Of
the problem was that the two were in
perfect accord. Six months before
Peter had forsaken Christ, while John
alone ran the gantlet in the terrific
blast of passion in the city Of hate,
but Peter never again shirked his
duty. John had been ambitious for
the supreme place among the apos-
ties, but now he had grown in grace
and lost the passion for prominence.
Friends. the same conditions are neces-
sary to-day in solving the problem Of
the morally lame on the part of the
Church of God as were manifested on
that day.
The love of prominence must go,
whether it be of individual or church,
or denomination. Passion must cease.
One of the reasons why the church
of God is not omnipotent is because
there is still this lust for prominence
on the part of individuals, churches
and denominations, and instead Of self
abandon we are absolutely too self
conscious, every one Of us. Again
they solved it in giving the power OF
Christ to the man: "In the name or
Jesus Christ rise up and walk" The
communication of ideals will never
save men from moral lameness. Ideals
must live in personality. That is the
difference between Christianity and
everything else. It, is the communica-
ton Of power, the touch of God-the
touch Of divine power in the heart.
Let us feel it this morning. I'm the
name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up
and walk Let it touch upon your
weakness. It is here. Let 1t do for
YOU and me what it did for that lame
man.
It breaks the power Of cancelled sin,
And sets the prisoner free.
That is what Peter and John did.
Think of it! There was the lame man;
there was the critical public; there
was the memory of their own past
failures. and there was the power OF
Christ. It conquered them all, ana
the man arose, and stood up. NOT
only did he stand, but the solution OF
this problem included every other. he
can earn his own living now, ana
needs not assistance. Every problem
of life is bound up in the problem
of the lame man being straighteneetd
and strengthened. It is smooth sail
ing after that. Lastly, the man De-
came a benefactor and praised God.
He inspired the faith Of men. Before,
his very presence created pessim1sm;
now it was faith and praise. The at
mosphere Of the man became faclor
and an asset in the progress OF the
world. We are either contributors 20
or exhausters of the moral life or the
world. Which is it? Ny sub3ect
gathers round these two points: Flrst'
the lame man, and, second, the men
who through the instrumentallty ol
Jesus Christ cured him. We as
Christians stand in the apostle :
place. Let us, under Christ, cure the
lame, and if we stand in the lame

Brooklyn. n. Y.-The Rev. John
formed Church on the Heights,
preached Sunday On MORAL Lame
ness" from the text: Acts iii:6: "Then
Peter said. Silver and gold have
none; but such as ] have give I unto
thee; in the name Of Jesus Christ Of
Nazareth rise up and walk He said:
Our text introduces us to a lame
man who lay day by day at the gate
OF the temple in Jerusalem, begging
Tor sufficient money to keep him in
life. This is q very common scene
III the New Testament, where we are
constantly meeting the lame, the halt,
the blind and the lapers, and there is
no wonder, for we must bear in mind
those were the days when there were
no hospitals, no scientific medical
schools, no homes FOR incurables, nor
any societies of aid. Since that day
christianity, without boastfulness, has
mad magnificent share in the crea
tlon OF those centres Of relief. We see
no such spectacle OH our streets as did
the Syrian of old upon his. Our Chris
uan sentiment and Christian love have
provided the hospital, and our lame
men are sent there. And not only the
hospital but we have to-day enlight-
ened scientific effort societies of char
lty and helpfulness on all hands; and
because the modern method of dealing
with sickness is not the same as that
OF the apostles. never think that it is
not Christian, for the same Christian
spirit plays about the treatment of

uie same God, and God is as much
IN \, the hospital, in His spirit, and in
the modern methods of curing sick

was IN the days of old. So Christian

newspapers, or their editors, rather,
should have very great response
bility in the very nature of things.
To be the editor of a newspaper
is to occupy a position that is sup
posed, or ought to be, high and
lofty one; and the editor ought to
give expression to a high public
sentiment, or try to mould public
sentiment upon a higher plane, if
the plane is not already high. We
are afflicted with a sprinkling of
editors WhO sell editorial for so
much an inch, sentiment thrown in.
Some of our people are not aware
of this, and take for granted that
the writings of such scribblers are
founded on fact, that they are
the writings of some wise man
wiser than themselves. Did the
people know that these newspaper
writer's did not investigate the
matter of which they write at all,
they would not be so credulous.
We will cite the instance of the
conditional pardon granted to Mr..
James o. Williams. The paper
that made the most noise about it
and objected most to the action of
Pardoning Board, had CORE
spondent in Tallahassee, Mr.. w. B.
Crawford, who not only has the
ability, but the inclination to seek
information, and with that infor-
nation open to the public, this
newspaper did not instruct him to
investigate in any manner what
ever. I assert this simply for the
reason that he did not investigate,
and I know that he would have
investigated had he been asked
to do so.
Mr.. Williams was granted
conditional pardon in the follow
ing language:
"Whereas, at a meeting this
day held at the capitol, in the city
of Tallahassee, at which was pres
ent his Excellency, N. B. Brow
