COD MASTER OF THE WORLD
Father Of Creator and Brotherhood Of Nan
Emphasized by Dr.. jerks.
PASTOR lust BACK FROM THE HOLY LAND
Heartily Greeted by Large ConEreEa-
tiOn at First Presbyterian
Church After visit to
Old world.

Rev. Edwin Hart jerks preached his
FIRST sermon since his return from Europe
and the Holy Land Sunday morning at the
First Presbyterian church. His discourse
was devoted TO presenting reasons why
Christ should be accorded mastership In
The affairs Of all persons.
Western civilization is enamored or
Jesus Christ today" said DR.. jerks. The
mighty influence he has had in the current
Of history Is undisputed. Great thinkers
and theorists. infidels though they may be-
give first place to Christ in shaping the
affairs Of the modern world.
He gave us the great ideas from which
pa1rIing the civilization OF the present and
DE nations such as ours which are domi-
mint He gave TO us the master ideas I'M
or which men have been united and
moved in the combination Of a great and
mighty power. He gave to us the idea OF
the brotherhood Of man. No great disaster
can happen today but all the world feels
'tts touch and responds.
Seated in hotel In Paris | heard the
news Of the calamity on the Pacific coast.
All France was full of It. All England
tflked about It. Sympathy was felt and
demonstration was seen Of the hold Of the
ilea that Christ gave us that all men are
brothers as we'll as that God is our
Father.
Christ is our master for while we may
say In our hearts we do not care for the
unlsfortunes that smite other men, yet you
and l know we have not touched the best,
end to assert the best we must get out
OF the faith OF Jesus Christ that men are
brothers and make the parable Of the good
Samaritan a true one.
Christ comes with no outward pressure
upon a man at all. The fact that we are
nomlnally Christians does not mean very
much Until man consents in his heart
that Christ be his master he might just as
we'll be a Mohammedan or a Buddhist.
Christ il not my master until give him
that possession in my soul"
Or. jerks was given a warm greeting
by large congregation and he expressed
pleasure at being back among his people
after so profitable a journey in the old
world

YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN HEAVEN
This Fact Oners More Than All

This Fact OHers More Than All
worldly EmOIuments.
Rejoice, For Your Names Are Written
in Heaven" was the subject and text of
the discourse OF Rev. r. b. II. Bell of the
Church OF the Covenant. Pratt and Twenty
seventh streets. Sunday morning.
AS business men are in the habit of keep
ing accurate accounts of all their business
transactions, so does God keep a record OF
all human transactions in the Book OF Life
that men may be rewarded or punished as
their merits deserve" said he. 1T is not
surprising that God should do this in order
that he might keep a record OF the affairs
of men, not only of this world. but of the
universe There are two books-the great
book OF God and the memory of me
Some time We will all have 10 appear before
the great throne Of God and be confronted
with His book and the memory OF our asso-
clates as TO our worthiness for reward
or punishment. The emoluments of this
world. be they wealth, honor or renown,
will avail us nothing then. Therefore let
us so conduct our lives that we may re-
joice that our names are written in
heaven This world is but a preparatory
stage for the glories OF the life everlast-
ing. Christ has gone there to prepare a
place for US The philosophy. science
wealth, pride and Intellectual attachments
OF men are as nothing compared with the
wisdom Of the angels. Why, therefore.
should We strive so hard 10 acquire those
things which perish in a day and neglect
our own souls? Let US not seek preferment
in the eyes OF men, but in the eyes OF God.
The thoughts Of the cody are not of this
world, but with laying up treasures in
heaven. Without God and Christ all is
vanity"

SUCH THINGS NOT ExPLAINABLE
why's and WherefOFes of Infinite Plan
Invisible to Finite.

why's and WherefOFes OF Inhntte ran
Invisible to Finite.
Rev. d. w. McGregor OF Dietz Memorial
church in his sermon yesterday morning
drew a lesson from the story Of Christ
and the man possessed of the devil. He
said in parts
Many persons ask why we do not have
people possessed of evil spirits now as
they had them IN the time of Christ. 1
cannot tell you why America had one
great earthquake like that at San Fran
cisco. / can't tell why other countries
have had scourges Of cholera or plague any
more than scan tell why that country
was scourged with demonism at the time of
Christ.
After the man had been cured the peo-
pie were excited, but not much over
the quieting of the demoniac as they were
over the loss of the 1000 swine. Christ
had forbid the evil spirits ever torturing
human being again, but he gave them
permission to enter into the swine The
swine rushed down into the water and
were drowned. Their loss excited the peo-
pie.
Being prohibited from ever torturing
OF interfering with other men and women,
what became Of the spirits? We have no
authorities and can only conjecture. The
most natural conclusion is that from the
moment the swine rushed into the water
and were drowned-from that moment, as
far as these devils were concerned, l be-
lieve they were shut up in their own
tortuous hell and were prohibited from
interfering with the interests of Gods
kingdom
THE people requested Christ TO leave
and not return. The man who had beer
healed wanted to- go with Christ but
Christ said: GO home TO your friends
and tell them the Lord had love for thee
and had compassion for thee He told
him to let his friends see what It is to live
a Christian life. to be freed from evil"

Exercise of Tri-FOld Powers Sur
passes All In Developing Character.
Work Is the best means OF expressing
self No dreaming. no high living. no in
toxication OF the religious life can take the
place OF exercise OF the physical, moral and
spiritual forces in the development Of char
acter."
Thus spoke Rev. E. r. Curry Sunday
morning al the Calvary Baptist church in
a sermon on "Fhe Gospel OF Work"
Though man is not saved by work. but
by faith" he said, yet the fullness OF life
comes from work and the gospel Of work
The monk, the anchorite, the hermit thinks
Of himself In all his activities He loses
sight OF hts work In consideration Of his
inner being The true theory OF the gospel
OF work is that work is objective and, not
subjective; that the more a man loses him
self IN the object Of HIS work the more
fully will he develop the Christian life A
person who holds the subjective theory VIII

on dry spot. The Amsterdam avenueI
Third avenue and 125th street crosstown
lines were blocked for an hour and half
The Manhattanvlle branch of the Produce
Exchange Bank at Amsterdam avenue
and Manhattan street was flooded. The
water rushed in while the clerks were at
work, and there was scramble to get out
Considerable damage was done in the
Eank.
Joseph Michaels, who is said to have set
of the blast, was arrested by Policeman
Barry of the West I25th street station.
Barry caught Michaels as he was wading
along Convent avenue. He is charged With
reckless blasting.
A six inch main of the Consolidated Gas
Company. which ran under Convent avenue
near the big water mains, was broken bv
the fall of rocks. The company got It
patched up after two hours hard digging.
1t was not until S o'clock that tne waters
coated an inch deep with sticky yellow
mud. In the cellars and Easements of the
row of houses along Convent avenue and
of the business buildings in Amsterdam
and Manhattan avenues and the cross
streets the water stayed three or four feet
deep.
1t was big question last night wit angry
storekeepers and householders how tRey
were ever going to get that water out.
Wherever one looked in the easements Of
dwellings there was a curious tumble Of
floating furniture, turned upside down,
dining room table, chairs, everyth hing ruined
beyond hope.
The flooded district included space Of
about twenty blocks, all the low places deep
under water, the high spots islands u
refuge for the scared inhabitants.
Engineer Bull of the Water Department
said last night that it would be fully three
days before the damage IL repaired,
