|ALittle Lay Sermons
(Kansas City Journal.)


Out at the baseball park this after
noon there will be held the concluding
events in the series of athletic fea-
lures for the benefit of the play
grounds fund. The tournament, even
though held on Sunday, will, in all
probability, be witnessed by great
many people who do not usually pa
tronize Sunday amusements, at least of
an athletic character. All of which
illustrates the growing liberality with
which Sabbath observance is viewed.
There are still some good people who
are alarmed at this tolerant spirit and
fear that the American Sabbath is be-
coming Continentalized, when, as a
matter of fact, no sound reason exists
should feel depressed.
There is very pronounced trend
toward the repression of the more
vicious forms of Sabbath dissertation.
The. open saloon is becoming extinct,
but as the doors of the saloon are clos
ing, the doors of the places where
helpful recreation may be obtained are
opening. In the light of this fact, it
seems to be straining a point to find
fault with the playing of games on
Sunday for such a worthy purpose as
the childrens Fairgrounds fund.
A Puritanical Sabbath is as far re-
moved from the real American spirit
as the other extreme of Continental
ism, also imported. The happy medium
is along the line of the present ten
dency. A distinguished bishop recently
condemned the preaching of so much
SISSY" religion, and his remarks were
quite pertinent. The preacher whose
message comes closest to the heart of
everyday life and at the same time re-
tains the fastest hold on the eternal
verities of religion has the best served
congregations, if not the largest. The
preacher who breaches a sissy Sab
bath will have as little influence as one
who might preach a wide open" Sab
bath. The cause of religion has suf-
fered much from this idea of crowding
it all into one day in the week. The
truth is that there is no right day to do
wrong thing or a harmful thing.
There is no day on which it is wrong
to do right and unselfish thing. 1t is
more wrong for man who has ample
time at his disposal to waste his time
and money in injurious or extravagant
pleasures than for the man whose only
leisure is on Sunday to engage in
healthy recreation or amusement
This is the spirit which is determining
the settlement of the question, and it
is in line with the growing tolerance
of the times. Attended as it is by an
increasing disposition TO curb the
vicious tendencies of human nature, it
may be safely trusted to develop the
spirit Of reverent optimism in all
healthy minded people, who do right
because it is right and not because it
is Sunday: who go to church because
they are uplifted, and who seek re-
Taxation elsewhere because they need
it; who do not call the Sabbatarians
hypocrites or the so-called liberals god
less; in short, the great mass of the
people all around US who hear SER
mons in the laugh of innocent pleas
ure, read books in the running brooks
and see good in everything that is and
1oes good.

The Old Church Hymns
Kansas City Journal.

has been translated into more tongues
than any other hymn is characterized
as a living and dying prayer for the
hottest believer in the world:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
Let the water and the blood,
From thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
The list of those noble songs still
sung in all the Christian churches OF
the globe that fill the glowing soul
with rapture is long, and selections of
favorites is only matter of individual
choice. However, there are some that
stand out like bright stars in the
armament of devotional music, and
which can never lose their luster. OF
these perhaps the best known are
Lead, Kindly Light abide With
Me- From Greenland's Icy Noun
tains," lone Sweetiy Solemn Thought -
MY Faith Looks Up to Thee" "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds "Just AS Am
Without One Plea Come, Thou Fount
of Every Blessing" STAND Up!-Stand
Up for Jesus and Nearer, My God, to
Thee"
Revival of the old songs is an in
spired thought, for music represents
the dynamic force of Christian observ-
ance. Immeasurable consolation has
come to unnumbered deathbeds through
the power of song, and music has ever
been the handmaiden of religion.
Throughout Christendom the immortal
hymns familiar to us all rise from
cathedral and chapel, from mansion
and cottage to the God of mercy and
love. interviewer in the sacred retro
spect of childhood are the beautiful old
hymns sung by faltering voices of those
who now sleep in the silence of unend-
ing time, sanctified and sholy in the
citadel of memory.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-10-20

At the recent conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South, at
independence, a movement was in
augurated for the restoration of con-
gregationaI singing. 1t was not as
sumed that congregational singing has
become a thing of the past, but it was
declared that this element of divine
service needs revival. Under the di-
rectlon and leadership of Bishop Keys,
the old-time Methodist hymns were
sung by the several Numbered promi-
nent men of the church, and they were
sung with such spirit that the inspir-
ing potency of their enduring sent1-
ment was felt by all.
In the present day, and especially in
the city churches, hymn singing is
greatly neglected, and those who re-
member wildly the beauty of the ven-
cradle hymns of our fathers and moth
ers regretfully acknowledge the omis-
sion. The old fashioned Methodist
meeting gave special emphasis to the
hymns in which everyone was expect
ed to join. One did not have TO pos
sess musical voice to be able to sing
those historic anthems, for they con-
tanned an element of beauty that DOM
mated mere rendition. They inspired
singer and listener with deep and fer
vent religious zeal. OF all the famil-
lar tunes that have given grace and
rapturous piety to Methodism, prob
ably none ranks higher than Edward
Perronet's 'An Hail the Power of
Jesus Name" Perhaps this hymn is
still sung more frequently than any
other old one in the church. 1t has a
wonderful cadence and the grand old
song still rings with solemn majesty
in the ear of memory:
All hail the power of Jesus name!
Let angels PROSTATE fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
To crown him Lord of all.
Nearly all of the historic hymns are
connected with epochal incidents in
the lives of their authors. This was
true of I'm Temptation written by
Charles Wesley. Tt is seldom remem-
bered in connection with the title, but
wherever Christian voice is raised in
worship one can hear these sublime
words:
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is night
Hide me, o, my Savior, hide
Till the storm of life is past,
Safe into the heaven guide;
o, receive my soul at lasti
Doubtless the most enduring song
in the English language and which

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. It is feeling common
to the majority of US that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
q crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And wh>
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
tho nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such record of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, aud
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. Its use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: 81 have

and found it to be very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing

Work on Public improvements Con
siderabIy Delayed.


Owing to the scarcity of labor the
officials of the engineer department OF
the district say the vast amount of i'm.
prOvement work on streets and roads
scheduled for this winter will be con.
siderably delayed. There are at pres
ent about 600 men employed on the
district improvement work, but Engin.
Ger of Highways Hunt. under whose
supervision this class of work comes,
wants about 200 more, and he has re.
sorted to advertising for the workmen,
but even after this he is not sanguine
of any successful results, as the ordi.
nary laborers can get better pay and
hours and lighter work from the vari.
GUS contractors. and by WORKING tol
the latter. Re says. the men will ge,
raid every week. whereas in the lis.
trlct The are paid only once every two
weeks, which method is not acceptable
TO the average laborer, especially the
cOlored men.
MIR. Hunt stated that this is .he
second time in IS years that the dis
trict government has been forced tt
advertise for labor. AS a general rule
he says. there are more men lookin,
for improvement work than the dis
trict can employ. Mr.. Hunt is pa,

Dor famine it is possible he will rails
the wage as an attraction.
