SEARCHING FOR
PERFECTION REAL
AMBITION OF LIFE
The Rev. Robert Scott Inglis
Urges Congregation to Fulfil
Their Ideals.

The Rev. Robert Scott Inglis. pastor
of the Third Presbyterian Church, de-
liyered a sermon at yesterdays services
ON Perfection Taking his text from
Hebrews, Leaving the principles of
the doctrine of Christ let us GO on unto
perfection" he said in part:
Perfection is what lends zest TO
the sports of youth and satisfaction
to the business of mature years. The
youth who attains nc measure of per-
lection in a game loses interest in 1t.
1t is for him a dull game. The busi-
ness man who fails to attain success in
his business Is a dissatisfied man. His
imperfect attainments produce a
chronic discomfort, which finally des-
stroys his business or drives him from
it. SO in the religious life that which
will add a zest of zeal and prove a
source of satisfaction will be the at
tainment of an approach at least to its
standards.
"We are all conscious. painfully con-
scious. sometimes, of our im~perfection.
The exhortation for this New Year
from our text is to go on to perfection.
"A number of years ago Mr.. Moody
held in Chicago a unique service. 1t
was called a service for the dissatis-
fled. To il were invited all the people
dissatisfied with their religious attain
ments. The meeting was crowded, but
the spirit was not, as we might expect,
depressing. 1t was an inspiring meet
ing, because the dissatisfaction was an
impetus to better attachments"

JOHN WANAMAKER SCORES
ILL=GOTTEN WEALTH.

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 4,-Former
Postmaster-Genera John Wanamaker,
using the catastrophe in Italy and the
frequency of suicide of recreant bank
presidents, addressed 400 members and
friends of the Young Mems Christian
Association, who assembled yesterday
in their new gymnasium, just com
pleted, and to which fund Mr.. Wanna
maker had contributed $4,000. Mr..
Wanamaker said:
THE great spell that is owe our
country today is the belief that money,
however gotten, is well gotten. But
there comes a time when Gods
patience Is exhausted, and he breathes
upon the sea even as he did upon the
Mediterranean. In the past year not
less than thirty prominent officials of
banks have committed suicide to escape
the awful remorse which they ex-
perienced. God is speaking to all gov
ernments of the earth to heed that
there is a government above all gov
eminent"

TO BECOME
DRUNK NEW YEARS,
PASTOR DECLARES
Rev. w. c. O'Donnell Prophe-
sizes a Great Prohibition
Wave in 1909.

Taking as his theme "a Prophecy
and a Program the Rev. w. C. O'Don-
nell, delivered an interesting sermon in
st. Paurs M. E. Church yesterday. He
said in part:
Concerning the year. so fresh and
white from the hand of God, we may
prophesy some things to a reasonable
certainty. Nor is 1t pro1tless to look
ahead at those things which must be
hereafter. The prophecy will shape
the program as the program delimits
progress.
1T is to be a great year for centen-
malls. What a galaxy of immortals to
be honored! Gladstone, the statesman;
Darwin, the scientist; Mendelssohn, the
gentle musician; Tennyson, Holmes
and Poe, leaders of the P%egasean choir,
and largest of all and most ~loveable,
Lincoln, the martyr.
There will be fewer saloons in our
land this year than last. Alabama and
Mississippi put a prohibition law in
operation and from many counties In
other States the hated thing has been
driven. The pseudo philosophy that
teaches that the viper on h hearth
stone is a necessary evil is giving way
before the advance of intelligence and
truth. Yet some silly people celebrated
the birth of the year by getting Trunk"

AT the North Reformed Church last
night a collection was taken for the
earthquake sufferers in southern Italy.
A large sum was raised.
The Rev. DR.. James l. Vance, pastor,

the threshold the voice of a friend may
be heard speaking from within. He is
a royal friend, for His seat is a throne.
This is what He says: Behold, make
all things new He means It for you
and me. It is the SaQiour's New Years
greeting.
Would you like to step through the
open door and claim the fulGlment Of
the promise and go down the future
with a new life?
Some of us are tired of the old life;
of its defeats and monotony and fruit
ltSSIiGSSs anu idCA Vi HpNtit W. az
dead tired of ourselves, disguested with
our own company. and we rack our
brains to try to invent some scheme
that will enable us to forget ourselves
for a brief half hour We need a new
life, a life with a new outlook, a new
motive, a new character. and a new
joy. If we can get that, we can go on.
God comes to us and says: You can
get it. AS certainly as there is a God
in heaven, as there is truth in the re-
ligion of Christ. you a get it.
''Christ's solution of the problem of
existence is a new life. He confers 1t
by making us new creatures.
"Resolutions at the New Year are as
far as some of us get. We swear off
our vices and swear on our virtues.
But vices sworn off won't stay off.
and virtues sworn on won't stay on"

SPEAKS ON HOPE
OF The NEW YEAR
twenty-five NOn=Church Mem
berS Sign Cards to Live
Pure Lives.

At the Peddie Memorial Church last
evening the Rev. Thomas J. Villers,
d. D., spoke on "A New Years Prom
ise-the Presence that Gives Rest"
The scripture was Elk. xxXiii. IA, My
presence shall go with thee, and 1 will
give thee rest"
Among other things he said: The
man to whom these words were spoken
was a man of like passions with our
selves. Angelo sculptured Moses as a
towering figure. looking every inch a
commander-a man, apparently, who
wrought his deeds by some super
human combination of qualities: Not
so do the scriptures represent him. At
Kadesh he became angry and wilfully
~disobeyed God. In his Weaknesses we
recognize his kinship with us.
Moses was a man of spiritual ca
pacity, and it was this tha made him
great. We are told that every soul is
a point of contact with the infinite.
This man threw open his whole life to
the divine. What is your attitude
toward God? viii you let Him mould
this year?
THE promise is a double promise.
My presence shall go with thee That
is the one essential. Moses had been
beseeching God for a human COM
panion. He had prayed to be shown
Jehovah's way n glory. He was
given the assurance of angelic guild
ance. But he came to see that moth
ing short of Gods own presence would
suffice. Our home life, our social life.
our business life will be revolutionized
this year if we practise the presence
of God"
Before the sermon a young man and
woman were baptized. At the close
of the sermon twenty-five men and
women, not members of any church,
signed cards which read, That I may
begin the New Year Alright l desire
from this date, January 3, 1909,
Jesus Christ shall be the master of
life"
