Inns, patronized by the nobility, and
part proprietor Of line Of freight

he did not see that the spectacular SER
Vice of his religion was significant OF
the imperfection and weakness. and that
the absence of splendid ceremonial in
the worship of Christ and His disciples
was Indicative of progress and superior-
ity. The barbara splcndor OF the feuda,
ages, its glitter and parade marked All
undeveloped civilization. The quietness
and simplicity of modern life, as conf
pared with the life Of medieval times,
are Indicative of great social progress.
The lack of display and the decline OF
cumbersome ceremonies under the gospel
dspensation shows that we have reached
n higher and better era In the religious
history OF the world"
Dr. Hawthorne then outlined his sub.
jcct under the following heads:
Il. The simplicity OF true Christian
worship IS due largely to the fact that
the rites and ordinances of the gospel
are commemorative Those Of the jew
ish dispcnsation We're anticipative
~. Under the first covenant all the
forms OF religious service We're authori
tatively prescribed, but under the new
covenant we are free to make our own
forms and adopt our own methods,
q. There is great peril to the soul ir
ritual worship. In such worship the ten.
denc. is to stop at tho symbols, to BIZ
satisfied with the mere vislbilities of reli
gious SERVICE
In closing, DR.. Hawthorne said: what
ever DO the order Of our service let u:
be sure that we worship, that we worshi,
God, that we worship Him in spirit ant
IN truth. To come to tho House OF Coz
merely for aesthetic pleasure is nothin.
less than mockery of God.''

.URGES CHILDREN TO

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Ia
President Roosevelt mas addressed ito
the slfhool-childrcn of the United States
a message on tho significance of Arbor
Day, which, during the montk of April
Is celebrated in many OF the States. It
follows:
"To the School Children of the United
States:
'.Arbor Day, which means simply tree

cial exercise, and perhapsto actual tree

you live.
"It is well that you should celebrate
your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for with
| in your lifetime the nations need OF
trees will become serious. We OF an
older generation can get along with
what we have, though with growing
hardship; but in your fun manhood

spiritual manhood-that is high man
hood.
Peril lies in the path of the man who
will be rich, whether or no. A mar. sets
his heart on wealth; he focalizes all
energy In the quest. Let him beware
A sword is merciful compared to those
griefs that shall pierce his soul.
Our country, unprecedentedly rich,
and our age intensely materialistic, make
a situation full Of spiritual danger All
the fine treasures of noble character may
be sacrificed to the god Of gold. Honor,
truth, sympathy and love may perish in
the methods and temper OF him who will
be rich. His higher life Is starved and
the lower is battened The beast in the
man strikes his good angel dead.
Yes. honest men know his methods
and are revolted. Wise men see his self
concelt and vulgar extravaganza with
pity and disgust. Disappointment,
anxieties, torment and perdition await.
"Riches are dangerous, though bless
ing. In the getting and in the use OF
them the pitfall and the snare are ever
near They are not necessary to happi-
ness. The true riches are open to all, and
we may be millionaircs in the kingdom OF
