PEACE TREATY HIS THEME.
DR.. Bristol's Sermon at Metropolitan
M E, Church.

The conclusion of peace at Portsmouth IN
spired a sermon by Rev. Dr. Frank Nj. Bris-
toll at the Metropolitan NJ. E. Church, John
Marshall place, yesterday evening. Ihe
pulpit was draped with an American flag,
with the colors- of Russia and Japan on
either side Indicative of the part this coun-
try played in bringing about peace. Dr.
Bristors text was, How beautiful upon
the mountains are the feet of Him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth
peace''-Isaiah, lii:1.
"A world looked on amazed awe-stricken,
sick at heart. not knowing when the car
mage would cease he said, until at last
came a voice out of the great new world
which rose above the din and strife of bat
tle Let us have peace, and all the world
applauded. 1t was the angels speaking
through America.
"It is not for us to say which nation Is
the greater in war. Japan put up magnifi-
cent and surprising exhibition of bravery,
but Russia was fighting great distance
from home, and we must consider this In
making an estimate. We should remember
that not so long ago England, the terror of
the seas and the greatest nation In war.
was unable to subdue her little colonies in
revolution.
America has proven herself friend to
both nations, and one of the remarkable
outcomes Of this war Is that a republic
should bring empires together in peace; that
a democratic government should be the one
to reconcile contending aristocracies; that
q President has inspired emperors to shake

century, and when the century's history Is
written it will stand forth as one of the
greatest splendors on Its pages

CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.
Rev. z. B. Bagby's Sermon Yesterday,
the Second in Series

the Second in Series
Rev. f. B. Bagby, pastor Of the Ninth
Street Christian Church. preached last
evening the second OF a series of sermons
on timely topics. His subject yesterday
was What Causes Hard Times. and How
Can They Be Cured?" His text was
Proverbs xxii :21-"For the drunkard and
the glutton shall come to poverty and
drowsiness shall clothe man with rags.
God has made provision for the needs
Of the human race" said Mr.. Bagby. THE
earth is a storehouse in which He has an
ticipated all our wants. But the dlstrlou-
ton of the supplies has been left to man.
In this distribution all do not get an equal
share; some are in affluence and some are
in poverty. Those who do not fare well In
this distribution often have themselves to
blame. Some, 1t is true, are the victims OF
evil circumstances or of the greed Of their
fellows, but 1t is the former class we are
considering-those who should be enjoying
the good things God has provided, but by
their own failures crimes are in want.
Entered into rest Is a fitting epitaph for
some men when they die, but OF others
when they are born. LaZiness Is bred IN
their bones. 1t Is easy to picture their
fate: I passed by the field of the sluggard,
and by the vineyard of the man void OF
understanding, and, 10. 1t was all grown
over with throns. and nettles covered the
face thereof and the stone wall was broken
down. Says John PIoughman: Some argue
that 1t IS better to be doing nothing than
to do mischief. but l am not sure of that.
l grudge laziness even that pinch of praise.
A man doing nothing Is sparrow picking
the corn, but lazy man is a sparrow set
ting a nest full of eggs. which will all
turn to sparrows before long and do
world of hurt. Nothing is to be got without
pains except dirt and poverty. l have
never had any faith in luck at all except
that 1 believe good luck will carry a man
over the ditch If he jump far enough and
will put bit Of bacon in his pot If he
looks after his garden and keeps pig

idle boy. But not until you are hard push
ed said the boy to the needle.
