had TO travel more than ve-hundred miles
to get here
The sessions during the dav, FRIDAY and
Saturday were OF purly business character
and were not particularly interesting to the
general public but very important and
necessary. The evening sessions were Of a
popular nature at which gospel truths we're
torcibly presented both by sermon and
song. On each evening some one Of the
visiting ministers occupied the pulpit.
These sermons were evangelis,ic in their
nature and so excellen, and helpful tina, no
one could afford to miss them.

! parable of the householder who, after
making ready his vineyard, let 1t to
sent to receive his rental of the crops
the husbandmen beat the servants,
and otherwise ill-treated them. even
to death. A second depatation of serv-
ants received like treatment. Then,
confident of the respect that his own
sons person would receive, he sent
| him. Then the wicked husbandmen
crowned all by numbering the son,
hoping thereby to secure the prop
erty.
The graphic story ended with the
question, What will he do unto those
husbandmen?
Quick came the answer from the in
terested hearers, moved by Hebrew
sense of Justice and of the Sacredness
of property rights, He will miserably
destroy those miserable men, and will
let out the vineyard unto other hus-
bandmen, who shall render him the
fruits in their season." Then upon
their startled and incredulous ears fell
the application.
When a Nation Is RejectAT
The Imagination of the race mas
been gripped by the story of the hand
writing on the wall-a rejected nation.
So also by the similar case of the Jews.
1.-The kingdom of God shall be taken
away from you, and shall be given to
a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof" boldly declared Jesus in the
teeth of the Pharisees, as his applica-
ton of the parable of the husbandmen.
History has written that lesson large.
The peculiar function of the Hebrew
race has been lost 1t no longer is
the conserver and dissemination of the
truth of monotheism. It has ceased
to be at all a missionary religion.
The lament of the rabbis, in which all
thoughtful Christians join, is that the
young men are slipping away from
the faith of their fathers. The Jews
in New York City alone who never
attend synagogues, or who openly avow
their Indifference to all religion num-
Der tens of thousands.
The dire thought of national rejec-
ton has entered the minds of many
American and British Christians. Eng
land today may be said to be in a state
herself if the sceptre of world leader
ship, and of religious liberty. is to pass
from her hands. Other nations have
had "Icabod" written over their gates.
The glory has departed from Rome
and Greece and Turkey and Spain.
What of Britain and the United States?
At present they are the spiritual
pioneers among nations. In no spirit
of boastfulness 1t may be recognized
that they have been a chosen people,
with a world destiny. Yet self1shnesS,
blindness, materialism and mere lip
service of the ideals which once ruled
their hearts may rob them of their
mission as truly as ever Israel was de-
prived of her peculiar place among the
peoples of earth.
For God is just. He deals with ma
lions as well as with individuals.
Spiritual excellence is not an entailed
inheritance. Each generation must
tend its own altar fires. Each must
know God for itself. His requirements
must be met, not by the repetition of
ancient formulas and shibboleths, but
bv vital, loyal service, in the forms
of the present Happy is that people
whose thoughts of God and service
of God, are couched in the terms Of
the living now.
