THE PULPIT.
AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. H. MARTIN, PH.D.
Subject: The Abundant Life.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Sunday morning,
in the First Church of Christ (Disci-
ples), the pastor, the Rev. Herbert
Martin, Phi. D., preached on Religion
and Life" The text was from John
10:10:"I came that they may have
life, and may have 1t abundantly."
DR.. Martin said:
Christ came not to teach a theol-
ogy primarily, if at all, but to give
life, more life. He came to give life
to others rather than live a self-cen-
tered life. I came that they may have
life. He came to give life here and
now. His emphasis was upon the
present life. He that hath the Son
hath life. Life in the future is a
corallary to present life. To have life
here and now is the only guarantee,
the only possibility of future life.
The value and need of religion for
the present life are being emphasized
to-day as at no time since the early
Christian era. This Identification Of
religion and life tends to make re-
ligion a normal phenomenon in hui
man experience. Religion has long
suffered because of it's almost ex-
elusive other-world emphasis. Its re-
moval to the future as the proper
sphere Of it's activity, its other-world
advantages caused men to regard it
as an abstract, vague and unreal, and
to treat it as having little practical
benefit for the present. Under such
conditions religion would be disre-
garded, or, if accepted, 1t would be in
an almost altogether objective way as
a precautionary measure, and thus
never become a vital element in the
program Of daily life. The normal
man Is intensely interested in the
present, and in the sweet by-and-by
only as 1t is related to his present

Elected, Demands $3.50, 300.

Former Mayor jeremiah Casey, ap-
peared before Mayor Carlton, of
Edgewater, on behalf of his daughter
Helen E., demanding payment of
$156,900 ejectment damages. Miss
Casey's claim arises out of the pro-
ceedings in May, 1907, when the Ca
sey family were elected from their
Edgewater home. Casey left his $10,-
600 worth of furniture lying on the
pavement until the bulk of it was sto-
len and the rest was set fire to by
boys. Casey bought the Cutting
home for $4,000, and afcerward
there was a lawsuit over the mort
gage. Meanwhile the Sheriff of Edge
water sold the property for taxes, and
1t was bought by Miss CaseJ. Then
the mortgage found that the Sheriff
was not legally in office at the time
of the sale, and the ejectment fol
lowed. Subsequently the property
was bought by DR.. 1. Lyons for $780,
900, and it is now valued at $780,
900. Casey declares the ejectment
was illegal because no order WIS
served on him and liz sale was ad.

1cient vital contact with the life ana
interest of the pupil, and consequent
ly, because of It's lack of interest for
him, fails to hold him. Rapid pro-
gress, however, is being made in our
own city toward the correction OF
such undesirable conditions. Anoth-
er cause, more deep-seated ald more
serious, is the growing commercial
spirit Of the day. The dollar is the
circle Of life. Men sell their own
souls and put under tribute their
children's for dollars. There Is great
need for r%esolute struggle against
the allurements of dollars. Too many
affairs are being builded to the god OF
gold; too many souls are being sacri-
feed upon these affairs 1t is hard,
yes, well nigh impossible, to trans
mute commercial ideals, dollars and
cents into more abundant life.
Our course Of study may we'll need
revision, may require a radical change
in content. But our greatest need Is
larger and truer Ideals established
firmly in the hearts and minds Of u
boys and girls. A gre,.ler emphasis
must be placed upon moral and ideal
than upon material and commercial
values. The voice In defense of the
child's ~inalienable rights, his heritage
of moral and religious ideals, should
ring deep into the hearts of parents.
Parents need to learn that the dollar
is not the goal Of life. that the child

est evils that threaten our nation is
u too complete allegiance to COM
mercial ideals. Our mad rush for
gold makes us a nation of individuals
rather than a democracy. Christ

Deal just Closed Means the End Of

Louisville, Ky.-The Tobacco Trust
has been whipped to a finish and
made to bow down to the Burley To-
bacco Society. Some of the members
of that organization unoficially
formed the bands Of marauders
known as night riders, who ~resorted
to arson and murder to attain their
ends
By a deal between the Burley To-
bacco Society and the American To-
bacco Company, closed lately, the
1906 and part of the 1907 crop of to-
bacco, involving $4,000, 900 pounds,
becomes the property of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company at a cost Of al
most $4,000, 600. The average price
per pound for the 1906 crop was
twenty and a half cents and seven
teen cents for the 1907 crop. There
is great, rejoicing In Kentucky among
the night riders and those who SYM
pathize with them. 1t is considered
a decisive victory for the night rid

Earth In Gold Street Sewer.
Brooklyn, N. Y.-Twenty-two lives
are believed to have been sacrificed
In an unusual accident in a sewer
trench in Gold street, this borough.
Half of the block in Gold street, be-
tween York and Front streets, fell
Into a forty-eight-foot trench after a
gas explosion that wrecked a twenty
four-inch main and loosed thousands
of gallons of water. Men, women and
children walking on the sidewalk slid
into the excavation and were drowned
or were burned by a gas fame that
rose eighty feet above the pavement
and burned for twenty minutes be-
fore the Brooklyn Union Gas Com
pany shut it of.
Exact knowledge as to the number
that persisted will not be had until
the big trench is pumped clear of wat
er. The accident is one of the most
unusual in the city's history. The
street is in such a condition that Dep
uty Chief Lally, of the Fire Depart
ment, refused to permit his men to
work at night in the trench, and is
sued an order that no attempt at re-

that he never mentioned such a con-

criticism lies in the fact that he went

there is to be deputy attorney gen,

enforcement of the liquor law, the at

been a seeming laxity on the part of
local officials in enforcing the laws
Then along with this it has leaked
out that it was part of the democratic
program to make sweeping cleanup
in this county during the coming
month. 1t is thought that with both
these powers working to this end that
Ramsey will be dryer during the com

the democratic convention.

BROKEN PROMISES.

Governor Burke is a candidate fol
reelection on the democratic ticket
He has been in office one term. Two
years ago he made campaign for the
position which was full of promises Of
| what be would do if elected and OF
charges of what the republican party
| in the state had not done to the in
jury of the taxpayers and the goo6
name of the state. AS candidate he
made promises which he must have
known he could not fulfill if his quail
fications were such as are required OF
the executive of great state. But the
people believed them and voted on the
representations he made.
But the thing is different now. The
people are asking for the record and
inquiring why he has failed in carry
ing out the visinary things which he
declared he would do if elected gov
ernor.
The one thing which he made para
mount issue in the counties in which
the prohibition sentiment is strong,
was that If elected he would enforce
the prohibition law. He has been in
Office more tnan year and a half
and there has not been a successful
prosecution of a violation of that law
which has not been done entirely on
the initiative Of the states attorney
of the county in which the violation
occurred. The governor is cornered
and to square himself, admits his
hands are tied. A few days ago there
appeared in the Grand Forks Herald a
report of statement made by the gov.
ernor in the present campaign. The
Herald supported him two years ago
and it is fair therefore to infer that it
reported him correctly. 1t said as a
quotation from the chief executive
remarks:
II have attempted for the past year
or two, ever since 1 learned the sa
looms were running in Dickinson, tc
have those same saloons closed, but
have failed. Why? Because l cannot
get the state and the city of Dickinson
to prosecute and 1 haven't the power
to remove those officers who refuse to
carry out the laws Of the state went
so far as to secure the evidence my
self and turned all that evidence ove1
to the attorney general, who in turn
gave the case to Assistant Attorney
General Stevens, who promised me he
would prosecute the cases at once. He
hasn't done it yet. My hands are
tied"

The following valedictory manifesto
of Emperor Kuang Hsu, dated the 14th

China Daily News:
1T was owing to the exalted love
of Our Imperial Mother, Our canopy
and support, that the Divine Vessel
(the Throne) was bestowed upon Our
keeping. Having set foot in Our child
hood upon the Throne, We succeeded
to Our great heritage in reverent de-
voutness from the moment of Oufir ac-
cession. We looked on high for guild
ance to the ancestral precepts of the
Sacred Ones before Us, and, in de-
votion to Our Government, and love
toward Our People, made the fear OF
Heaven and the example Of Our fore
fathers the handspring of every act.
Conscious of Our own deficiency, We
have not dared to do ought but labor
late and early with anxious applica-
ton. To be unwearied day by day
has been Our single purpose. We have

in times Of visitation by flood or
drought, Our governors in the pro-
vinces have prayed Us to remit taxa
tion or bestow relief, the immediate
outpouring of Our bounty has in no
case been withheld. We have estab-
lished schools, reorganized the armies
of the State, encouraged industrial
enterprises and revised the laws of
the Empire. The anxious care that
in the seclusion of Our palace has filled
Our breast must have been witnessed
by Our ministers and people through
out the Empire.
Our bodily constitution has through
Our life been strong; but since last
autumn We have been frequently in
disposed, and for some days past Our
strength has gradually failed until the
hope of recovery has passed away. We
recognize in this the will of Heaven
Mindful of the grave interests of the
dynastic line, We feel that it behooves
Us to transmit Our charge to worthy
hands, and We have now received the
benign mandate of her Majesty the
Empress-Dowager, Nn the1e words:
