ILLUSTRATES NAZARENE'S
EARTH WORK BY HIS FEET
Rev. A. c. smlther Gives Examples
of Attributes of GaIiIean from the
Text, "Who Went About
Doing Good"

At the First Christian church yester-
day morning Rev. A. @. Smither
preached upon 1.-THE Feet of Jesus
from the text, "Who went about doing
good" He said in part:
mo more graphic description of Jesus
ministry was ever written than that
contained in these words.
Jesus feet were industrious. Few
men ever lived such active lives or ran
on so many missions of mercy. The
three years of his public life were
crowded with activities.
Jesus feet went in paths of service,
He went about doing good. What ire
mendous strides he made in winning fol-
lowers and personal devotees to him
self.
Jesus feet went in paths Of service
to the lowly. Jesus was reared among
this class and was deeply appreciative
OF their need of his message. Their
hearts were open to his story of divine
love.
"Jesus' feet went in perfect paths.
He was the one sinless, spotless~ charac-
ter of all human history
Jesus went in paths of lowliness.
His sinlessness separated him from per-
feet fellowship with the sinful. His
soul was like a star and dwelt apart.
None of his disciples while he was on
earth was able to appreciate the full
ness of his character, the divine nature
dwelling in him.
Jesus feet went in the paths of
sacrifice. In an eternal and unbroken
Fellowship with God he counted it not
a thing to be grasped to be on equality
with God.
'He walked the levels OF human
anguish and need that he might lift
man into spiritual likeness to his Father
and unite him in eternal harmony with
his God He was the Jacobs ladder on
which man might rise to his eternal
sonship with God"

when the pilot of the Lady Elgin and
his wife were rescued the storms of
cheers from the thousands on shore
drowned the roar of the storm raging
about us.
And now, did it pay for broken
health, ruined prospects and disap-
pointed hopes? That this days ex-
periences changed the whole current of
my life and entailed great physical suf-
fering for many years cannot be de-
MED, but through it all the conscious
ness that I tried to do my duty and
saved some precious lives has given me
great satisfaction. 1T is more blessed
to give than to receive and 1nasmuch
as yet have done it unto the least of
these, my brethren, we have done it
unto me-"

FIGHT BUT QUARREL
NOT, SAYS BURDETTE
FAV0RS A BELLIGERENT, NOT
NAGGING NATION
Declares Three Months WraneIe in
Church VIII Do More Harm Than
Physical Encounter at
Prayer Meeting

Robert ]. Burdette, pastor of the
Temple Baptist church, preached yes
terday to the usual great audience
which worships at this edifice. He
selected for his topic 1.-THE Brazen
Altar" taking for his text Matthew
5:2S-24, IF therefore thou art Offering
thy gift at the altar, and there remem-
berest that thy brother hattie aught
against thee, leave there thy gift be-
fore the altar, go thy way; first be
reconciled to thy brother, and then
come and offer thy gift"
DR.. Burdette said in part: "For the
angry, sullen, quarreling heart hiding
hate against a brother, can bring no
acceptable gift to God. There must
come reconciliation with the brother
before there can be peace with God.
Fighting Is better than quarreling.
Now and then, as 1 meet some old
schoolfellow, before we get through our
"reminiscences he generally remembers
fight which am trying to forget, and
in which I was a participant. I had
the reputation, in the old Human
days, of being a good natured, peace
loving boy, over ready for fight. 1
admit it all.
"I fought a little overmuch, perhaps,
because 1 was such a devoted lover of
peace. l could not bear to quarrel with
the meanest boy in school. l hate quar-
rels with holy hatred. SO with the
first words of a quarrel had my jacket
off and sailed in to give or take a good
licking, and L got about as many as
gave. And 1t was all over in five or
ten minutes.
Opponents Become Friendly
But in either case, two boys each
had found new friend, for boys who
have fought have ever a sincere re-
spect for each other, and the respect
usually ripens into friendship. Where
as a quarrel may last for a month or
a year 1t is a smoldering fire, with
smoke that stings the eyes and offends
the nostrils, and never 4 blaze that
burns away the trash and dross of ILL
temper.
"a quarrel has never the thrill of
victory for the conqueror nor the high
pride of a good fight and honorable
defeat for vanquished. If two of the
brethren should fight in prayer meet
ing 1t wouldn't do the church so much
harm as a three-months' quarrel. 1t
would make a public scandal; oh,
yes. That We are terribly afraid of.
We could keep the quarrel among our
selves, out of the papers: out of the
courts. And it would go on eating the
heart of the church like dry rot.
For the peace of the family, of the
community, of the church, of the coun-
try, better be a nation of fighters than
of squabblers-nagger I
don't much mind a dog that bites. But
a barking dog is a perennial nuisance.
1t may be truly said of every one, dog
and man, that his bark is worse than
his bite. So it Is, an hundred fold''

nounced his intention of going after"
the record between this city and Los

greatly. Nelson's purchase of a White

BAUER INTERPRETS
SUITE OF DEBUSSY
Celebrated Piano Virtuoso Puts
Oriental Charm Into the
Program

Harold Bauer, piano virtuoso, gave
his second concert last evening at
Christian Science hall and proved him
self capable of Interpreting the very
spirit of music in his program. Opening
with the Beethoven sonata op ST.
which was played with great delicacy,
he passed to a suite of Debussy's, which
was fairylike in its witchery of ORR
entail melodies and strange harmonies
"Pagodes" being wholly in Chinese ca
dences. The tSoiree dams Grenade"
with its haunting phrases, was thing
to be remembered. The splendid Toe
cata and Fugue (Bach), in c minor
showed the pianist's virility and power
Bauer's conceptions possess subtle
shades of emotion seldom heard in such
beauty. The program closed with the
andante from the Shubert sonata in B
fiat: the Ballade in A minor, a singular
composition, but interesting in its in
depreciation, and the Polonaise in r
sharp minor, by Chopin. The hall was
far from filed, but those present thor
oughly appreciated the musical treat
