Everything Has a Purpose.

ENeFyLnln9 HeS r1i PoSS'
 Everything has to be done with q ra- tlonal purpose or else the creation Is not rational. Supposing you are a wealthy landowner and some day you decide to build a magnificent mansion about mile from your own palace. You begin to erect that palace of purest marble and hang Its windows with the choicest of tapestries and cover its floors with the richest Of Damascus rugs Then you will fill It's halls with beautiful statuary and cover it's walls with the most exquisite of pc tures Then if next year l should enter this magnificent palace and find 1t un- tenanted. save by a few cats and dogs and beetles and bugs and flies and frogs, should ] not reasonably say to you; "What! Did you not build this palace for any other purpose than to house lew animals and bugs?" And you should an- swer: 'Yes I am humanitarian. l want to let these animals and crawling crea- lures have just as good house as l live in" What do you suppose I would think of you? I would say you were out of your mind, because you do something with no rational purpose. Did God, the Creator, make thls world for no other purpose than to house bugs and beetles and animals, of which man is one? Of course, if you grant that man is immortal and that this earth is a preparatory place where man is to be fitted for divine companlonship with dod forever then l can see rational purpose for the creation. Otherwise there Is no rational explanation why this beautiful world was formed.
 Then alongsde of this idea I want you to place the fact that there is an innate universal idea in every mans life that ne is immortal. Man looks upon the dog and says, That dog may die, but not man." He looks upon the bird flying through the heavens and says, That bird may die, but not man." He looks upon the turtle, the longest lived creature upon the face of the earth, and says, That hard shelled creature may die, but not man. And wherever you go, no matter where It may be- the white or the yellow or the black or brown skinned men all cry, "I shall live; I shall live" If you are willing to believe the innate beliefs of man, If you believe that man is immortal, then it Is not absurd for us to suppose that God would create this beautiful world to fit man for his celestial residence Will you today argue against the immortality of the soul?

BUSES OF AUTOGRAPH SHARKS.
Ingenious Methods Used to Elicit Let
 ters From Noted Men.
From the London Tit-Bits.

From the London Tit-Bits.
 No one is better posted in ruses to which collectors resort In order to secure autographs from living celebrities than a certain London dealer. There is not enough profit in their sale to encourage any number of people in this country to secure autographs for the purpose of dis posing of them to the dealer but writing to celebrities and selling their replies to the dealer in question is a means of live lihood to no small number
 No one perhaps has outwltted in clever ness the methods of Gen Clst. whose col lection. sold after his death. brought one of the highest prices of any sale in the world. Clst was d silllful penman and d born letter writer He wrote in such q way that he rarely failed to elicit lengthy and interesting replies. He would write to a statesman saying that a party had applied to him for employment and given the statesman as reference. Was So- and-So ever In your employ as private secretary" he would write. Cist was q recluse, a hermit. He was estranged from his family. His last days were passed in America in a room filtered with books and papers of rarest value, secured through the most ingenious ruses.
 The cleverest modern autograph collcc- tor. whose methods became known to dealers, was the late Benjamin Austin, q resident of the United States. He organ ized literary society in his imagination, to which he elected as honorary members all the distinguished men and women of Europe and America. When notified If their election. they naturally replied. thanking him for the honor conferred. In this way he secured much excellent ma terial. Doubtless he made the collection with a view to it's subsequent monetary value. After his death his widow sold it, put values had decreased and 1t did noI bring anything near the price that might haya bppr1 pYnpptpl

 Brother, for what are you living? This vast world was made for you, so that in it you can fit yourself for heavenly com panionship. Christ died for you in order that you might live a good and useful life. The Bible was written for you to know what God wants you to do. Are you here and now willing to surrender your self to the higher life? God is calling. 1m- mortality Is calling. Christ is calling. The Bible Is pointing out for you the true way. Will you, in Gods name, respond to the Divine call and follow the way of the Divine commandment: How long wilt thou halt between two opinions? If the Lord be God. follow him, but if Baal, then follow him

Another objection.

well" says another man, T am not an atheist. I believe In God. I also be- lieve in the immortality of the soul. But I cannot believe in the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. 1 can not believe in the conception of Jesus or that Christ could be born of the Virgin Mary and of the Holy Spirit. Neither do l believe that Jesus Christ was resurrect- ed after his crucif1xion. I am willing to say with Renan that he was the best man that ever lived. But I am not willing to say Christ was divine and the Son of God unless at the same time you grant that we are divine" Is that your position? We'll my brother. 1t seems to me to be the most illogical position, and for two reasons
 Reason the first: You say Christ is the best man that ever lived You say that the words which he spake offer the best system of morals. But. tell me, why do you accept certain statements which Christ made and reject the rest? How can Jesus be a good man and yet be a liar and a falsiher? How can he be a good man and yet be a hypocrite? Jesus Christ is either divine and miracle worker and the Son of God or else he Is the most blatant pretender that ever lived.
 Supposing some young American should leave the mountains of South Carolina and cross the seas and go to Paris and there lay claim to an estate which Mich el Ney possessed when he died; supposing that this young man should claim, as some do claim, that Michel Ney was not shot after the defeat of Napoleon at Wa terloo by the order of the legislature of France, but that he escaped to America and lived here; then, if further. this young man claimed that NJ. Ney married while in America and that he, the young man. was the direct descendant of Michel Ney's oldest son and, continuing his plea, he says, "because I am that descendant claim that l am the rightful heir to the title of Prince of Mosllva, which once be- longed to Michel Ney;" then supposlng you go to the mountains of South Caro- lima and prove that this young man was the descendant of Irish peasants, what would you think? What would France think? No matter what that young man might claim to be, the people would stig- matize this false pretender for the estate of Michel Ney as a liar and fraud Now my friend by the same law of reasoning it Is absolutely Illogical to claim that Christ is a god man and yet. not divine Either Christ Is all that he claims or else he is pretender and a fraud. It is logical ical to accept him as the Son of God, but it is not logical to regard him as a good man and yet not divine.
 Not Logical.

Then ] hnd the surgeons there. and Che scouts there and the implements of war there.

Call it q monad if you please. l call that individual power God. You cannot if you would, unless you esehew your common sense, deny being a deist. Will you plead today for the Baal of atheism?
 Well" answers another man. "I am not an atheist. l am a deist, but to be- lieve in an overruling Providence does not necessarily mean that ones believes in a personal God who cares for us pe- lieve that l am mortal and when l die that is the end of me. Why should God care for me any more than l should care for a little ant in the country road or TOT a mosquito that alights upon my cheeNF Why should l be conceited enough to be- lieve that God would let me live forever and ever? l am no more important m Gods sight than a nY's life is important in my sight" You say you are delst and yet do not believe in the immortality of the soul. Then, my brother as an ln- teligent being, how can you account Tor the purpose of the creation at all? If God is a wise being and an intelligent being he certainly created this world for some thing. Now, for what did he create the world?

Os ANGELES, Cal July 28.-In
 this sermon the preacher brings

! InlS sermon lle DIeatUEE bIluBS 1I us to the crossroads, where we are open to choose the world it's pleas ures and it's uubelief on the one hand or the road which leads to the higher life of faith and to eternal companion ships on the other. The text is l Kings xviii, 21, How long halt ye between two opinions?"
 Elijah, the author of the words Of my text is speaking to King Ahab and 10 the children of Israel. -4e describes the nation as halting or hesitating. The word was an appropriate one. A man who is not sure about his posi- ton or his course, who travels a little way in another direction making no progress. He halts and stnmbles. It is a most unsatisfactory state. whether IL relates to people of that olden time or to people of our time, so many of whom are similarly hailting. Elijah contends that Jehovah is God and that Baa1 is a mere block of wood or stone that cannot hear prayer or reward his Worsh ipers He proposes to prove il to the people then and there- Let two altars be erected and q slaughtered animal be laid on each. Then let BaaPs priests pray to him to send down fire to burn up the sacrifice, and Elijah will pray to Jehovah to do the same 10 the other sacrifice. The result will prove which of the two is able to hear and answer prayer which of the two is God The proof was clear and unmistakable. The prayer to Baal fell on deaf ears, and tn ere was no re- sponse. Elijah prayed to God and the fire fell on his altar and consumed 1t. Then the people began to cry, "The Lord He Is the God, the Lord He is the GodD Now, the purpose of this ser mon in a nutshell is to contrast some of the illogical theories or false be- liefs which the people of this day are believing with the incontroyertible, wholesome beliefs of the Bible. I would make a test case this morning of these theories and today let you de- eide whether you will worship God or wheth CT you will bow before the shrine of false philosophers
 In order to make our consideration a little more personal let us this morning use the Socratic method of asking and answering questions. Thus l turn to one gentleman and say: My friend, what is your belief about God? Do you be- lieve there ever was a Creator of the universe? Do you believe there is an in- tellgent Divine Being who today is rul- ing all things? What Is you Idea abont God anyway" Well" you answer, "I ao not believe in God. I am an atheist. I am an atheist in the sense that am an evolutionist. I believe that man is simply the higher form Of the animal creation. In the vegetable world the bi- ologists tell us that all plants are de- veloped from some earlier form of plant, so l believe that man is a development from the lower form of animal life. Now, God has absolutely nothing to do with the creation. Law, natural law, has de- veloped this world and nothing else. When baby comes into this world he Is born like a puppy, and when a man goes cut of it he dies like q dog. and that Is all there IS in human llfe' Do YOU believe that, my brethren? Is such theory rational? Is 1t according to common sense?
