Rev Or. &. Ernest Smith. rector,
preached a special sermon yesterday

question Of missions from broad view

received a postal calling attention to
certain measures 10 be taken against
saloons and ending with this sneer:
The churches are silent The sting of
that sheer was this innuend0-that the
church is so wrapped up In itself as TO

These and such men believe il true.
Well. there Is nothing new about the
charge. John the Baptist thought Jesus
did not care. and said so when he lay
bound In Herod's dungeon. The disciples
thought Jesus did not care when they
were storm-tossed on the lake and their
boat was ready 10 founder.
Doubtless. when 81. Paul sent back
the runaway slave 10 his master men
thought the apostle did not care what
happened 20 Philemon, and that ST. Paul
was silent about the great wrongs Of the
slave when he ought 10 have bitterly
denounced slavery.
Yet never word spake he against
the system, Why? Because Illuminating
another as against this particular evil
or that Is never the most effective way
of dealing with evil Let the Gospel Of

Death makes no radical change in the
man. By no divine alchemy does he at

automatically repeat again and again the
act which caused his death, until, from
sheer exhaustion, he becomes conscious
Of his new surroundings. The murderer.

as facts by the public would be a

SAYS GODS THRONE is EARTH
Rev. Mr.. Russell Takes New View
of Question, Where Is Heaven.

Rev. X. c. Russell, In his sermon last
night at the Memorial Church, said the
prevailing belief that heaven was some
immaterial state beyond the realm of
time and space was without any support
in the Word of God. He claimed that
the Bible taught that the home Of the
redeemed would embrace this earth In
its renewed state. besides all of the IN
fallen worlds that revolve in space.
The speaker exhorted his hearers to
obtain a character that will insure them
a home IN the earth made new. for only
the righteous will inherit the earth in
its renewed and perfected condition.

OF tho Metropolitan NJ. f. Church, last

Mount Hermon is unsurpassed in

permits his followers to beat their wives
Woman is regarded merely as the prop
erty OF man. She is treated as if she
possessed neither conscience nor liberty
She is held as a creature without soul
and is never permitted to enter a Moham-
medan sanctuary. Among Mohammedans
woman is looked upon as the slave of
mans capriCes. and they minister TO his
passions.
Woman I'm Christian lands owes her
emancipation to the influence and power
OF Christianity. II Is the religion Of
Christ that has delivered woman from
the unspeakable degradation Of being
mans toy, mans slave. The tender
names OF daughter. sister. wife. and
mother have in them a strange, sweet
magic. because Christianity has lifted
woman into dignity. into liberty, into

fact that you hold your position as the
equal and the fitting complement of

means of acknowledgment in the fulfill
ment of your destiny.
Marriage n Commodity,
Among Mohammedans marriage is
wholly a commercial bargain. As in our
country there are those whose sole bust
ness IS speculation in fine horses, so in
Mohammedan lands there are men whose
one business is speculation in beautiful
girls, in attractive young women, whom
they sell in the marriage market
Too often in our own land marriage
is made pecuniary investment 1t is z
most ignobe prostitution Of the most
sacred of all human relationships. Those
who bring marriage down 20 the brutal
level of an affair OF cash ought TO be
ranked with Mohammedans.

The conclusion frequently Il that neither

pense over ten or even twenty times as

reason is the present greatly reduced cost
