ries Overrun the garden which once
yielded large, and luscious fruit. All Is
changed, degenerated; and at last
comes decay and death. Such degener-
alton is very strikingly presented to
us in the wild grape vine retired to in
the text
Mans degeneration is a result OF
sin, and as we find various kinds of in
fluences at work in deteriOrating the
grape vine, so we may notice various
phases of sin and temptation attacking
the human heart.
Large Group of Enemies.
In the first place, there IS a large
group of enemies, usually horrible,
loathesome, ugly creatures, worms and
grubs of repulsive appearance, which
attack the roots of the vine. They are
ins-diOus in their movements; they
work in darkness: and, unseen, are car
rying on their deadly work of destruc-
ton at those organs by which the plant
draws up its nourishment from the
soil.
So we find that there are temptations
working in the same deceitful way in
their influences upon our lives. Satan
IS the same willy serpent today that
he was in the Garden of Eden, deceiv-
ing our first parents. do this he
says, though it is forbidden in Gods
word, thou shalt not surely die" at
won't hurt you" and so he leads the
child of God into ru.nous sin before
he realizes that he has been beguiled.
As there are enemies which attack the
roots of the vine, so there are evil in
fluences at work undermining our faith
and thus eventually destroying our
lives.
Then there is another large group
of enemies which attack the leaves Of
the vines, and as the leaves are the
lungs of the plant by which it breathes
IN the carbOnic gas so essential to tits
life and growth, so if the leaves are
destroyed the plant itself suffers and
dies. The California vine growers
have expended vast amounts of money
in the determination of small insects
which have attacked the leaves of the
vines in this way.
The leaves of the vine are a very
beautiful type of the Christians hope
as they open themselves toward heaven
and drink in the bright sunshine and
the soft dews and by some mysterious
alchemy mingle them with the ele-
ments from the soil to produce the
precious fruit.
Hope is the faculty which looks up
and drinks in the blessed sunshine OF
Gods love and the soft dews of his
promises, and so when sin comes in and
destroys this important element OF
Christian life we are useless and fall
away
There naturally grows out of this as

today. In India there are 62,45S, or
MOslems. An authority says that there
are one hundred and seventy millions
in Asia and fifty millions in Africa,
and only five millions in Europe
At present all of Persia and Central
Asia, as well as a large part of Asiatic
Russia is MOhammedan- In the Trans

Increase of Christianity.
In the days of Constantine, after the
political victory, according to the best
calculations, there was not more than
one Christian to every $50 of the in
habited world At the present day,
proportion may be not unfairly said
to be one person in three Of the pOpu-
latiOn of the globe that would call
themselves Christians.
1t is a fair calculation to say, &C
cordtng to the same authority, that at
the beginning of the nineteenth cen
fury, the Christians could be reckOued
as 100000, 900 whereas today they can
be reckoned as 500,0O0,000
Native Christians in India.
There are $4,000 native Christians
in India apart from Eurasian Chris
tians, according to the last census tax
en- by the British government The
Roman Catholics still have first place,
with 1,394,OOO adherents, but the ad-
vance of Roman Catholics in the dec
ade is small as compared with Prot
estant progress. In ten years the Prot
estant churches have increased by
nearly half a million The increase
among Catholics has been 272O0O
The BaptistS have grown in numbers
from 217,000 to $4,000 and are now
only a few hundred behind the An
geicans, who take first place with

very marked progress, especially in
southern India, and they now have
$4,000, an increase of $1,000 in ten
years The Presbyterians have added
10000, the MethOdists $4,000. The
total Christian population of India is
now nearly four million, or about one
IN every so of the 5000, 600 living in
the great dependency.

a third result of sin the destroying of
our fruit bearing qualities The hlSh-
est function of the vine IS to pear
fruit but since fruit is produced out
of the elements from the soil and the
atmosphere, if either the roots or the
leaves are destroyed its fruit bearing
qualities are destroyed also. Just So
the great function of the Christian IS
to bear fruit N loving service and con-
verted souls to the glory of his maker
as Christ has said, e have chosen you
and ordained you that We should go
and bring forth fruit" Herein IS your
father glorified that We bear much
fruit" But if our faith IN Gods word
is destroyed or if we are deprived OF
the Christians hope we cannot bear
fruit for God, our fruit bearing pow
ers will of necessity be destroyed, we
shall be incapacitated for Christian
service.
Is There No Remedy.
And now we ask in our despair, IS
there no remedy Is there no chance
for restoratiOn2 Are we all to be cast
into the fire and burned2 mol Blessed
be God. no. The remedy is pointed out
to Us in the words of our master, i
am the vine, ye are the branches. He
that abideth in me and 1 in him, the
same bringeth forth fruitl" there
fore present to you Jesus Christ IS the
only means of restoration from the
evil consequence of sin. BY ENGRAVING
into him is the only possible means by
which our degenerated lives can be re-
stored to their prestine glory and use
fitness. This is the only means Of sal
Walton because it is the only means Of
restoring that which has been lost.
By being grated into Christ your
lost faith will be restored, You will
be rooted and grounded in him." and
as the branch viii draw from him ali
your nourishment for spiritual life and
growth. By being grated into him
your lost hope also will be restored,
for the power of his resurrection VIII
move in you and you will have the
confidence that as part of him You will
rise with him and reign with him IN
glory. Then lastly your lost love will
be restored, and love is the basis OF
all fruitfulness in Christian life, Ind
now abideth faith. hope and love, but
the greatest of these is love"
The work of love is the reaching out
to save others. AS the highest function
of the vine is to bear fruit and this
is so largely dependent upon the
healthful condition of the roots and
leaves. So the highest office of the
child of God is to save souls and this
is the logical and natural outcome OF
faith and hope. which we have seen,
although destroyed by sin may be re-
stored by a return to God through his
son and mediator, Jesus Christ

service to Dr. Briggs which was at

and one-time pupils Of him who was
the object OF the bitterest strife the
Presbyterian church ever had
Mrs Briggs and the children were not
present They explained to close friends
beforehand that it would be more than
they could endure. Dr. Briggs was re-
ferred to as the martyr of the church.
There were addresses by Dr. Brown.

years a member of the faculty with

Dr. Brown reviewed the life of Dr.
Briggs. specially the SO years ne taught
in the seminary. and said:
"A grave and Intellectual blunder
was made by the Presbyterian
church when it suspended professor
Briggs. as many conservatives have
since seen After his suspension he
entered the EspiscOpaI church largely
because Of his stand for church unity.
Through DR.. Briggs fight for reIi-

its freedom, and it is not likely ever

Former Governor of Tennes-

AfurfreesborO, Tenn, Nov. S.-COR-
Tossing with fervOr that he has cast OF
the shell of his environment and en-
tered upon a new and he hopes hap
pier and better life, ex-governor Nal
colin R. Patterson Of Tennessee, at a
law enforcement mass meeting held at
MurfreesbOrO, explained his change OF
attitude on the subject of prohibition,
state and national. He said in part:
Il know that no man IN Tennessee
who has been my real friend will ever
find II in his heart to censure- There
are others who viii charge me with IN
consistency; those who have used me
to their own advantage, and those who
wish to be unmolested while they coin
money from the walls OF children, the
tears and heartaches of women and the
degradation Of men,
ITO those who charge inconsistency,
my reply shall be an admission 10 the
fact. I am incOnsistent-my views now
are not what they Were-I am glad I
am inconsistent How has this change
come abOut2 1t did not come through
me or by me. I have felt my country
men, like one cropping in the dark.
I know suffering and sorrow, and L
have pitied it in others I have felt my
weakness and insecurity and need of
help. I could not find il in cold logic
and reason I looked for it in my own
mind and conscience and could not dis
cover it.
Il then cast aside all pride Of opin-
would think or say. and bowed my
head before the throne Of Almighty
God and asked for strength and light
At last I found it there-my doubts are
dispelled-the curtain Of the night has
parted and the way is clear.
From now as long as life lasts I am
the UncomprOmising foe of the liquor
traffic. It's ugly and venOmOus head

Failures have been recorded and
failures will be recorded in the at

destroy this evil.
The great battle to be fought is to
dissolve the connection of the United
states government with the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor and interdfct IL
by constitutional amendment. This

decisive blow for redemption
In this mighty effort the friends Of

is the head of CongregatiO in
America, in many respects analogous
to the moderator of a Presbyterian
general assembly, a president OF the
Lutheran general synod, or presiding

some important respects Congrega-

making their secretary powerful with

as are such experts in commercial and

to say that never were Congregational
