.L.IkENS MODERN
MAN TO PHARISE:E:
DIR. r. AMEs MONTGOMERY
GIVES ANOTHER TABLE TALK
OF JESUS.
DIN N Err DESCRIBED
Congregation is Given an Eloquent
Word Picture of Biblical Scene
and II Is Made
Timely.
DIN n Err DESCRIBED

The points of similarity between
modern men and those Of ancient
times was brought out last evening
by DR.. r. Ames Montgomery in his
fourth table talk Of Jesus. The sub
ject treated was a continuation of "A
Dinner in the Chief Pharisees Home"
and all who heard the beginning of
this interesting sermon week ago,
and many more. were present last
evening in the First Presbyterian
church.
There will be three more sermons in
during Sunday evening in July. Next
Sabbath The Supper at Bethany"
will be the subject.
In the scramble for the chief place
which followed the healing of the man
with the dropsy," said Rev. Montgom-
cry, Jesus was apparently forgotten
by the guests at the feast. 1t was with
them like it is with us today. We re-
ceive the blessing which God bestows
and then, in our eagerness for our
own advantage midst the throng of hui
man life, forget him, and fall into the
unseemly strife of men and women
who never saw Jesus, who never felt
his presence in their hearts or their
midst.
.'The dinner is announced and the
scramble begins. 1t is not, difficult to
| imagine the looks Of jealousy and con-
tempt, the possible expressions of
seorn or hatred as some more am
bilious and aggressive push forward
| and boldly seize the places of honor.
But after while the host, with Phar-
isaic punctilious regard for proprie-
ties, will doubtless re-arrange them
all Saying to some of the more eager
place. and with shame they are com
PEELED to surrender their seats to
others.
Jesus Rebukes Them.
when Jesus was compelled to wit
ness all this, we may imagine how 1t
| grated on his spirit. And so he speaks
outright valiant rebuke to them, and
right gloriously to US, on the grace of
humility. Christ did not come to fat
ter men: he came to redeem them, aft
erwards he will come to Judge them.
But what is the reason for all this
unseemly scramble? Pharisaism, you
say. No 1t Is pride. ingratitude ego
ism of every sort. This pharisaic de
sire for the chief places in the social
professional, and commercial life is
the blight that falls upon the peace
and happiness of all our lives. This
pharisaism of modern society spoils
the heart-ease Of multitudes of mer
and women at this hour and leaves
open wounds that smart for days ant
years to come-aye, for life. This eff
fort 10 keep pace with and Guido eacf
other in the eyes Of the communit.
; will bankrupt the age.
, Jesus words to the host are no
, altogether prohibitive Of giving din
ner TO a mans friends. This was
function given for reasons not public
~ announced, but which we can cas-
lily divine, and which Jesus rebuked
II was his reply to the secret thought
-lof man. Jesus always answers

civil war Commander-in-Ch Chief Nevius
expressed the hope that the monument

ridden and thrown to the breeze to
float forever over a free land

DAILY HEALTH HINT

Consumption is usually an in- sldlous disease, slow in it's devel- opnent and taking considerable tune often months, before any material changes in the bodily health or the patient are mani lest Then only will come the noticeable loss of vigor and ap- petite decrease in weight, and more or less coughing, which are US characteristic symptoms.
 The important matter is tha t ol early diagnosis. The sooner the curative treatment is begun the more certain it is that the pat lent will recover. There is no need either that there be change o1 climate. Consumption can be cured as easily and as certainly III Illinois as in Mexico. Good food, fresh air, and sunshine are the principal agencies that will do the work.

HARVESTER ACQUITTED

Hot Springs, May 21.-Arthur Everett Bannister was tonight acquitted of the charge of mur- dering Mrs. Ada Reichers in this city last July bringing to an end one of the most interesting crim- inal cases which has been heard in this section for years. His tde- fense was an alibi proved by Ok lahoma city citizens who swore he was there at the time the crime was committed.
 Mrs. Reichers was from Fort Worth Texas, and was killed here last July. The motive was thought to have been robbery After the murder the nine-year- old daughter of Mrs. ,Reichers was kidnapped and taken to Birmingham. A man named Ban hester was staying at the Reich CTS house at the time Of the mur- der and disappeared the day it was committed.
 Witnesses for the state posit- iVely identified Bannister as the man in this city just previous to the finding of the body of the murdered woman. Witnesses from Oklahoma City, however testified that he was there between July 3 and January 20. The murder occurred July G.

New York, May 21.-A negro and a white man do not suffer equal humiliation in the eyes of the law for false arrest, accord ing to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court which today sustained an order of Justice Du- gro in the Supreme Court reduc- ing the amount of damages a warded George Griffin, a Pullman porter from S2,50O to $500.
 In his order Justice Dugro said
 While in some senses the neg TO under the law is just as good man as the president of the United States. it wouldi be a
 bad argument to say that he is just as good in some respects. The damages in a case of this kind depends on a mans standy- ing and circumstances. If he is colored. that fact should be con sidered.
