I tb W N I The Puipft 1 A SERMON - Subject: Kclh-cl. Brooklyn, N. Y. Preaching on the above theme at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg ave nue and Wierfield street, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Gen. 28:19, "And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; this is none other but the the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And he called the name of that place Beth el." The scene is as grand as the lan guage is inspiring. And the sublim ity of the picture and the elevation of the language are only to be ex plained upon the assumption that at this time and under the . conditions that are described Jacob enjoyed a special and glorious spiritual experi ence. Jacob was journeying from Eeer sheba to Ha ran. He stopped on the way, took stones for a pillow and lay down to rest, the day being spent, for the night. "And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And behold! the Lord stood above it." Is it any wonder that Jacob ven erated the place? Here he found blessing. Here was inspiration. Here was the manifestation of the ever lasting God. It was but a stone in the open, roofed with the arching heavens, walled )y the horizon be yond which his vision could not pen etrate; but here he had seen God. And he called the place Beth-el. No one Is so foolish as to Imagine that the stone and the surrounding locality were any more sacred in and of themselves than were a thousand Bimilar stones upon which Jacob might have rested his tired head or were a hundred other places in the quietude of which he might have found repose. But upon that stone his head had rested when the God of Abraham and of Isaac reiterated to him the covenant He had made with the fathers. In that spot he had been the recipient of the richest joy that the heart of man may experience in this life or the mind of man desire: a vision of the living God. And so he poured oil on the stone and conse crated the place where he had tarried through a memorable night. What lse would any man have done? The event was not common place. The vision was beatific. The covenant "was tremendous both as to its authorship and its duration. Con sidered from any point of view the occasion was to be commemorated and the locality was forever invested with a subduing and soul warming at mosphere that would be effective with us to-day were we within the scope of its influence. Jacob would have been neither courteous nor hu man if he had not set the place as in a sense apart. If we may remember heroes with monuments and good men with statuary, shall not Jacob commemorate the revelation ot Jeho- Tah with an oil soaked stone? If we are conscious of a thrill as with bated heads and reminiscentminds we stand in Independence Hall or about the graves of the martyr dead shall we not admit the sacredness of the spot where God showed Himself to the leader of His people? All of which is not to push sense trver the border line of reason, or to make the logical become illogical. Jacob called the place Beth-el. the house of God. And so we call our churches. Every church is a Beth-el or it is nothing better than a club house. A church is not simply a col lection of stone and brick and plaster and wood and glass and iron and nails bound into a building, any more than the stone was the sanctuary or the place where Jacob heard the voice of God the shrine. A church is more than an edifice as the shrine was something more than a geogra phical or geological entity. We con secrate our churches to the benefi cent uses of the religious life of the people not because we consider that God abides simply and solely within them or that a blessed brick is holier than an unblessed stone. We enter our churches, rather, I should say we should enter our churches, because in a real way they stand for an exper ience, they teem with reminiscence, they commemorate individual and so cial blessings and visions of the sov ereign God. Jacob called the place Beth-el be cause he had a compelling religious experience. And so we should ven erate our churches. A church that lacks the spiritual atmosphere, that Is not the expression of a deep spirit ual conviction, that commemorates no visions and that is ineioquent of mighty spiritual exaltations, is not a church. It is a fraud. A church is a Beth-el. And as such It should be revered. Within it should be found blessing and inspira tion, out of it should flow the influ ences that tend toward God and that militate for the weal of men. Beth-el was notable as the com memoration of a blessing. And what blessings have we not had within the confines of our churches. AVhere such holy reveries, such glorious in spirations, such lasting joys, such revelations through the abiding of a common spirit? Here we have seen the glory of the Lord, here we have known the power of His love, here we nave lea upon n is promises aim been augmented in the riches of His grace. Here, as was Jacob at Beth-el, have we been inspired, filled with larger hopes, urged on to nobler and to holier achievements, filled with the energy that no man may describe, In effable, intensive and divine. Here we have felt the warmth of the spir itual atmosphere and have clasped hands with God. The influences that rolled with pre dicted vigor from the simple shrine at Beth-el ought to flow and will, from any well appointed church. The church is not a poo!. It is a stream. It in rather a dynamic than a static. From the church should well forth the influential streams of righteous ness and trttk & ttt htftilsf I , mm the nations. The world owes an In calculable debt, as do we, to the church, aud the church should by her unceasing and compounding influence for good and for God, and unremit ting Ervice for men, place the world ever more largely in her due. The churches must be Beth-els or many of them never could withstand the abuses to which they are lent. Only upon the assumption that the spiritual influences that move within them are born of God can we under stand how many of them survive the desecrations to which they are sub jected. The average fair is enough to kill any church. The average church entertainment, paltry and puerile as it is expressionless, would be a death blow to th? social activi ties of any organization less hardy. What with moving pictures and wax works and spelling bees and turkey suppers and men's smokers and wom en's gossip, it is wonderful that we have any veneration for churches at at all, that we find any blessing, any inspiration within them, and any in fluence moving from them. The church should be Beth-el. It should be the house of God. There, too, we Fhouldi seo the' ladder stretching down from heaven, there the ascending and descending angels. There we should see God. There we should make covenant with Him, There we should enter into the pog. session of His Interminable promise There we should have a glorious, an exalced spiritual blessing. 6. The Change. "My life is hemmed in by things cannot change, you see," said a girl explaining her depression of spirits' to an older friend. She had been talking about the ugly little town where she lived, and how little money she had to spend, and how there were no concerts or lectures or chances for culture, how monotonous and nar row thing3 were week after week, how her health was not strong, and there was no special thing she could do in the world. It did sound rather hopeless, and the older woman was silent a moment. Then she said, thoughtfully: "No; you cannot change these con ditions of your life at present. But there is one thing, Marjory, that you can change, and it will make every thing absolutely different." "But. what can I change? I don't understand," cried Marjory. "You can change your point of view," returned her friend. "That's all. But it's everything." The girl thought it an unsympa thetic answer. She went home still thinking so. But it stuck in her mind nevertheless; for she was an intelli gent girl. "It is the only change I can make," she said to herself, and she tried it. .Her point of view had been from herself from what she wanted to do, and have in the world, but could not. She faced round to the point of view that God had put her where she was, had prepared blessings for her if she would recognize them, and had given her opportunities for unselfish useful ness to others In her daily life. From that moment her lite was a study in transformation from dis content to cheerfulness, from languor to activity, from a lack of interest in life to & fullness of loving sacrifice "It is all absolutely different," she wrote her friend, a year later.- Only one thing has changed. That was all. But it was everything. For ward. Wear Your Troubles Inside. Many a man gets into the habit of carrying his troubles in his face. The eyes tell it, the droop of the lip speaks it, the bowed head declares it, the very grip of the hand reveals it, and the footfall is full of It. He has run up the flag at half-mast, and be carries it everywhere, so that his whole little world is compelled to know his sorrow. Is this natural? Possibly. Is It wise? Probably not. Is it fair? Surely not. Is it a sign of weakness? Undoubtedly it is. Is there a better way? Surely there is. First, a man must make up his mind to expect hi3 share of trouble, nnd nerhans a little more. Then he should make up his mind to bear his trouble manfully, L e., with patience, with courage and with hope. The world has enough trouble of its own; let us not add to its burden! It should be the aim of every Christian man and woman to become strong, and when strength is won to use that strength in bearing the burdens of others. Every sorrow mastered, ev ery burden borne inside instead of outside, makes us stronger, and leaves the world brighter. Learn to smile, get the habit of It; learn to sing, make italso a habit; and you will be surprised how much brighter it makes the world, not only to others, but to yourself. The smile and the song lesson the burden and light the way. Christian Guardian. Life Not a Holiday. Sooner or later we find out that life is not a holiday, but a discipline. Earlier or later we will discover that the world is not a playground. It is quite clear that God means it for a school. The moment we forget that, the puzzle of life begins. We try to play in school. The Master does not mind that so much for its own sake, for He likes to see His children happy; but in our playing we neglect our lessons. We do not see bow much there is to learn, and we do not care. But our Master cares. He has a perfectly overwhelming and inexpli cable solicitude for our education; and because Ho loves us He come3 into the school sometimes and speaks to us. He may speak very softly and gently or very loudly. But one thing we may be sure of: The task He sets us to is never meas ured by our delinquency. It is meas ured by God's solicitude for our pro gress; measured solely by God's love; measured solely that the scholar may be better educated when he arrives at his Father's home. Henry Drum raond. a -aa J&At " The Leader of Men. We all know perfectly well what a true leader is.

How An American Business Man Tried to Overturn a British Tradition. A writer in Everybody's Magazine tells the story of the collision of an American business man with the Eng lish tea habit. He had gone to Lon don as tho manager o one of th'3 biggest enterprises in which American money is invested. He was formally introduced to all his heaJs of depart ments cn the first day he went to the office. After everybody had strolled away and ho had turned to his desk, a small clerkly-looking person ap proached him and said: "Please, sir, I wish to know if we can have soms new tea rings." "Tea rings?" said the manager; "what in the name of the Thames Em bankment arc tea rings?" "Kings we put on the stove when we make our tea, sir. Thank you." "When you make your tea?" "Oh, yes, sir; we have our tea reg ularly every afternoon. Thank you.' The manager looked into the tea business. He found the clerk was right. The whole office force quit work In the middle of the afternoon and drank tea. The proposition did not appeal to M3 American mind, so he Issued an order stopping the. tea drinking. There was a wild protest Here was this American overturning the precedents of centuries. Here was a man who dared to deprive tho Britons of their tea. The manager held out for a "month and then capitu lated, for his board of directors stood with the clerks. The directors drank tea too. He rescinded the order, bought the new tea rings, and kept tab on the amount of gas used in brewing this necessary beverage. He discovered that tho tea-thirst of the clerks in his offices cost the company for gas used to brew it $385 a year. . His "Kick." "Say, there's a mistake In this bill you sent me the other day." "What's wrong with it? Is It too big?" "No, (but " "Any mistake In the figures?" "No; it's not that. It's " "Don't you thmk that bill has been running long enough?" "I reckon so, but " "Then what are you kicking about?" "That's what I'm trying to tell 3'ou. There's a mistake in the name. You sent it to the wrong man, confound you. I don't owe you a cent, and never did!" "O ! "Chicago Tribune. Tins ANGRY GIRL. Sho loses her sense cf humor; of ten also the other sense she has goes with it. If getting angry ever did any good there would be more reason la it. Tho surest way to weaken a good cause is by a bad temper. The girl who is easily angered pays the piper in broken friendships. A hot temper rarely finds a happy home big enough to hold it. The angry girl forgets that the peni tence which follows her folly is not pleasant company. Indianapolis News. An Apple Fifty Ys-rs rid.
