ON OBSERVING SABBATH.
Like the Puritansg No! Neither Like
the Gay Parisians, Says Minister.

Sunday Observance was the subject
for a sermon by the Rev. A. P. TULIP. pas
tor OF the New York Avenue Reformed
Church, last night. He said:
The observance of the Christian Sunday
Is not a question of commandment of duty,
but a question of freedom and privilege.
1t is a day when men renew their con-
nection with. things worth while. when
we keep our hearts from becoming coiored
with the. dye In which our hands work
day by day. The question is not shall a
man walk In park or call on his friends,
or read the magazines, or play this game
or that, but are we using the day for
spiritual culture and soul Improvement
How shall we keep Sunday? Not ms the
Puritans, turning a day meant for glad
ness into sadness and gloom. Nor like the
~Parisians-a day for frivolous amusement
and secular pleasures. Nor like the Phari-
sees, burdening the day with petty rules
regulations. But, standing fast IN the
liberty with which Christ has made us
free, let us breathe a purer air and re-
joice in the light of a diviner heaven, II
is the day in which we declare that we
are not simply lawyers, or merchants. or
mechanics. or shopkeepers, hut men, sons
Of God, heirs to Immortality"

WOMEN AND MIRRORS
FIFTH AVE. PRESBYTERIAN
PASTORS SUBJECT.
Remarks "old Things Are Put to New
Uses"-women Who Parted with
Their Looking Glasses.

Put to New Jses,' was the subject of
a sermon of the Rev. Joseph Hunter, Ia
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian last night,
and 1t was based on the looking glass"
His text was from Exodus, xxxvii.. s.:
And He made the laver of brass, and
foot Of 1t brass of the looking glasses of
the women assembling, which assembled
at the door of the tabernacle Of the con-
gregation."
The looking glass; began the
preacher. rs an article of ancient
manufacture Its use has been frequently
associated with women. In the worship
of the ancient Egyptians the women car
ried a mirror in one hand and doubtless it
was here the Hebrew women acquired the
habit.
I'm the construction of the tabernacle
and its furnishing the people. as they
were poor in worldly possessions, made
great sacrifices. They brought their orna-
ments to be conseorated to the service of
the tabernacle in making some OF its neces-
sary equipment. Here they bring their
looking glasses and out of the brass Is
made The laver for the use of the minister
ing priests. Old things are. put to new
dedication to the service of God. This is
the theme.
"A thing has two values, one intrinsic,
the other extrinsic. The intrinsic value Ct a
silver dollar is 40 cents. more or less, ac-
cording as silver rises or falls. Its eX-
trinsic value is 100 cents, because the
stamp of the United States is upon 1t.
The intrinsic value of the old manse in
Concord may not be very great, but its
historic associations render it almost
priceless In the eyes of many. The home
of Emerson and Hawthorne is enhanced
N value by the fact.
The use to which a thing Is put
affects its value" continued Mr..
Hunter. The same building may be
consecrated to noble or ignoble purposes.
The same steel nay be made into sword
or plowshare, and a human life may be
given to evil or consecrated to good. Its
value viii depend upon which alternative
form that which was used for one pur-
of the mirror was made into a lever. The
secular was made sacred. A life given
to the service of the world may be eonse-
Grated to the service of God. Saul becomes
Paul. He is a changed man, because
Christ's enemy has become His friend.
Conslitutionally the same, his allegiance
is altered. Whatever our past. the gate
to newness, to life, Is open, and Christ
beckons us to enter.
This new dedication of a life is for all
time. The Hebrews considered 1t a helm
Gus crime to use that which was dedicated
to the service of God for secular purposes,
Ye5 are the temples of the Holy Ghost.
Men have considered places sacred and
inviolable because inhabited by earthly
monarchs. The Spirit of the Lord dwell
eth In yeu, Let sin have 10 dominion
over you. Grieve not His Holy Spirit
whereby we are sealed unto. the day of

IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH
MULTITUDE, SAYS PASTOR.

1.-THE Cities Unbound Multitudes" gave
the Rev. Robert T. Graham, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Tabernacle, last even
ing, an opportunity to analyze the need for
a more systematic effort to harvest the I'M
churched. who are still outside the reli-
gious breastworks.
Mr.. Graham deplored the fact that, des-
pite the growth of Christianity and the in
creased number of churches, it had been
impossible to reach the multitudes, who
still refrain from becoming Christians
through the inability or the proper infin-
ence being brought to bear upon them.
The conditions in a great city are 50 COM
pick and the natlonalities SO continental
that 1t offers a most difficult problem for
the church of today to solve.
1.-THE unfound multitudes must be re-
claimed and added to the converted hosts, .
he argued. 1.-The church needs them and
they require the spiritual instruction which
the church affords. A higher standard Of
citizenship would he assured and he spir-
itual force would add tone and vigor to the
affairs of both city and nation"

GIVES NO
REASON
Mystery ShrOudS Retirement
Of Episcopal Healer
Clergyman.

PATTERSON. Nov. 11.-Something OF
a veil of mystery surrounds the resig-
nation of the Rev. Enos J. Balsley. for
the past fifteen years rector of st.
Luke's Episcopal Church here, and who
has quite a reputation as a hyp1otist
and healer. In a communication to the
vestry, which will meet tonight to con-
slider 1t, Mr.. Balsley asks that his re-
lations with the church be severed, CIV
ing no other reason than that Il think
it best to do So"
MI. Balsley Is out of town and has
beer so for some weeks. He has not
peer in his pulpit for the past four
Sundays. Members of the r~ector's fam
lily explain the matter by saying that
the rector had broken down in health
and was compelled to leave the city
suddenly for the West.
One of the vestrymen. while being
interviewed about the sudden resigna-
ton of the rector and his leaving of the
city so abruptly, admitted that there
was another story behind the affair,
but said eour mouths have been
closed"
The fact thai Mr.. Balsley had not
been in his pulpit for several weeks
was not generally known. except to the
members of the congregation, OF
course, but when an agreement was
filed at the Court House the latter part
of last week to the effect that Lizzie
M. Balsley had agreed to sell the
house at lac Bloomfield avenue, which
was occupied by the rector and his
family, the attention of the public was
attracted and II was learned that Mr..
Balsley had not been attending to his
churchly duties for some time.
Bishop Edwin s. Lines, of this city,
said today regarding the resignation Of
the Rev. Mr.. Balsley: "Mr. Balsley an
nounced to me about two weeks ago
his intention to resign, saying that Ill
health was the cause. He said he
purposed going West to continue in
religious work..

BAR DOCTORS
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE NOT
WARNING ON THEM.
Mrs. Eddy's Cult Explained by Mother
Church Lecturer Before Big
Newark Audience.

Proctor's Theatre was crowded yes
terday afternoon and a lecture given
by Frank II. Leonard, a Christian Sci
enlist, of Brooklyn, who Is a member
of the board of lectureship of the First
Church, of Boston, which is known as
h mother church of Mrs. Eddy's cult.
The lecturer was introduced by the
Rev. Henry R. Rose, pastor of the
Church of the Redeemer, Unlversalist,
who said Christian Science vas working
to overcome belief in eternal damna-
ton of sinners.
Mr.. Leonard related how what
he called the cold and better teaching
of the Protestant denomination. of
which he was a member, about an
avenging God, together with failing
health, had prompted and accepted
Mrs. Eddy's teaching, and he asserted
the Christian Science had cured his
bodily ailment.
Christian Scientists d. not worship
Mrs. Eddy" he declared. "as many
people think. We love her, but
the personal element does not
enter into our affection. We love
her as the founder and teacher of
our faith. 1t is for what she has done.
and not for herself, hat we revere her.
although personally she is a lovable
character.
"It has been my privilege to know
Mrs. Eddy for twenty years, and 1
nave often been a guest at her home in
Concord, and can testify to her I'M
selhshness of spirit. She has devoted
the greater part of her life to the work,
and the result and success is largely
due to her interchangeable labor through
years of encouragement"
Mr. Leonard's argument was based
on the a~ll-pervading goodness of Provi-
dence, and the earthly origin Of sin. To
sin he attributed all ills of the flesh,
which could only be cured by a closer
association n conformity to the orig
in of all life-God. When one studies
the powers and nature of God as pres
ent in the Bible, he said, one of two
conclusions has to be accepted: That
is all bad, or that He is not the
of sin and suffering, but rather.
is all goodness. He declared that ON
no hypothesis could the conclusion be
arrived at logically that the Supreme
Being created people to suffer or intro
duced and maintained suffering among
His own children. Therefore, according
to the speakers argument, Illness and,
in fact, all the ills that flesh is heir to
are the result of human error, not of
Divine will.
He explained that. contrary to popu-
lar belief. Christian Scientists are MAX
ing no war on the medical profession
as such. He said that they accorded
to every person the right to have as
many doctors as they want in times of
Illness. He did not say, however, that a
person could be a good Christian Sci
enlist and pin any faith to physicians.

Screens Down, hut Bars Were Hidden

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 11.-There was no
noticeable change Sunday in excise eondi-
lions in this city. Anyone who wanted a
drink and who knew the ropes did not
have to go thirsty. The saloons were open
as formerly, though shades were drawn
and screens removed. Black curtains
stretched along the centre Of the saloons
shut out the view from the bars, and
persons taking a casual glance from the
street would nave imagined the place
closed. Chief of Police Monahan made no
extraordinary efforts to enforce the excise
laws. He issued his usual order about
Sunday violation and let 1t go at that.
Superintendent Wilson, of the Civic
Righteousness Federation, was out SCOUT
ing and, 1t is said, he was served with
liquor in several saloons. In accordance
with his custom he will make complaints
in the police courts against the alleged
Violators.
