The Pulpit VitaliZed.

Pulpit power. which for time
seemed to be on the wane, is return
ing. and it is largely because the
preaching is less of literary charac-
ter, less Of finished essays and topical
discussions, semi-Secular. 1t is now
more vitalized and energiZed with the
Spirits power. Those who heard some
of our most famous preachers ten years
ago would scarcely believe they were
the same men speaking if heard to-day.
DR.. GunSauluS, who used to deliver
those polished sermons in Plymouth
Church, Chicago, ten years ago, could
not hold the great audience in the
downtown auditorium which ha adj
dresses now if he used those oldkime
sermons, or better ones of the same>r-
der. Something seemed to come IMP
this fine mans life few years ago
which admonished him that nothing
but the power OF God could make q
sermon great, and he has been preach
ing great sermons since that day. DR..
Hills used to charm a literary audience
in Central Music Hall with an essay
which glittered like newly cut stone
from the hands of lapidary. but if re-
ports are true, that is not the kind Of
sermons that DR.. Hills Is preaching
now. Indeed, he himself is quoted re-
Gently as saying that oratorical pulpit
flights are the bane of preaching. and
that clergy and laity shared an equal
responsibility in the saving Of souls.
''The preacher" said DR.. Hills, must
not treat on topical subjects Sunday
after Sunday. but must preach the gos-
pei of Jesus Christ. The church is not
the preachers field; it is his force. and
it is the mar who has not crossed the
church's threshold for years upon
whom you have claim" 1t is that
possibility which makes a preachers
work inspiring. but also tremendously
responsible. What Sabbath may he
not have among his hearers soul that
is hungering and thirsting for the
bread and the water of life? What an
infinite crime to give him stone. or
quite as bad, 4 handful Of artificial
flowers"

Courtind Bad Luck.

There Is an old superstition that II
Is bad luck to burn { piece OF bread.
The origin Of this is obvious. though
probably few indeed Of those who re-
ligiously adhere to the superstition
have paused to think that 1t dates
from those times when famines were
part Of the regular order of life.
Famine no longer troubles the
imagination Of men; but the broad
truth under the foolish superstition
remains. Burning bread isn't any
more likely to bring bad luck than
wasting 1t in another way. But vast
ing anything in any way is extreme
proyocation to what We call bad
luck" If the grown people who habi.
tually waste do not suffer for it their
children surely will-for they will
follow the example set them. and
rare indeed is 1t that family can
survive the faults Of two successive
wasteful generations.
Waste is not generosity: thrift Is
not stinginess. There are millions
Of Americans, especially among the
poor and the not-too-well-off, who
seem to think so. A thorough inves-
tigation would place at the head OF

Be Good For Something.

The highest virtue consists Of more
than merely being good. 1t Is being
good for something; and good for somU'
thing not to ones self alone, but to
others and to God. That negative,
self-complacent virtue which is only
a strict abstention from evil. is Of a
quality far inferior to the virtue which
suppresses evil or helps another to re-
sist it. Virtue, in the old Latin sense,
is synonymous with valor. 1t implies
not only an espousal, but champion.
ship, and, if necessary, fight. Virtue
is not only being good, but doing good,
and the better we are the more we
ought to do. We believe in these
words of r. r. Bowker:

vicious to do i'll. 1t is worse for the
educated and honest to do nothing

department, that spring water keeps
colder very much longer than ordi-

through Philadelphia water pipes.
You can make the test, even ir sum-
mer, by going to Fairmount park,
drawing a jug of spring water, bring
ing 1t home and putting it in your
cellar. Not only will it not get5vsrm
during the trip to your house, but
1t will remain much colder than will
hydra4t water drawn and kept be-
side It for a number Of hours. This
is, said to be due TO the lack Of warm
