"Give and ,U shall-be" given-unto you; good ; measure, pressea aon and shaken together, . and ronnlnf. over, shall men five into your bosom. For with the same, measure that mete, withal It shall be measured to Xlyou again." This passaff of Scripture from tns Eermon on the Mount.- found in Luke. :8(, 37 and 31, formed the ha for the sermon of Rev. Harris Mal ' Unckrodt. rector of St. Peter s Episco pal church, yesterday morning. Mr. . -Malllnckredt pleaded for a constant growth" towards perfection; for .a charity regard!; one's neighbors i which pays heed to the Injunction " regarding .the mote snd the tw-am. and tor a deeper realization of the -dtvttHi nature of giving Kverjr piece of money given to God, saiir h is blessed with the stamp of Hl own love and money Is valuable only In proportion as It. Is devoted to ne- ! compllshing the most holy purpose "Our blessed Lords Sermon n the Mount'ls given to us In two places. ' said Mr. Mallliukrodt. Tonipl-te. perhaps, in Matthew and In part by "Ijike. According to the record In hnth arrnuntn. although the sermon wss delivered at the beginning anrt not at the close of His ministry, lie demanded Derfectlon. Christianity does not constat in merely belonging to the Church or to any rluh or otrr-r organization. The Churrh Ik n divine Institution and organisation to . beautify the soul, to cause us to ' grsw In divine grace. It Is to make us better and better dar -iy day. more chsrltable In disposition, more - hely In life. Vntll we grp this aspect of religion we cannot expert Christianity to be a vital thing In our lives." : OPPOSITION TO PROGKKSS. Msny of us think that the Church If a thing lntenled to keep us about - on a par. We say. ''Let uh go on -smoothly and undisturbed. We will . attend church as regularly as pos sible; we, would be respected in the community In which we live, per haps, but don't let us exert ourselvek . too much In thes directions." s' Every Sunday ought to find us a little bit holler than ever, a little hit -more punctual In the pew. a little hit more prayerful, a little more " anxious to come bark than before, a little more anxlou to conquer that tired feeling and thp lut of the flesh; to display that Christian rhr , acter and Christian love which Christ 'displayed so beautifully while on earth. When we think about getting Into heaven, we should not be satis fied with the thought of mere en trance into the Celestial City. We aheuld-b-4ust-a earnest snd ln?t as anxious about getting nearer and nearer to the Divine Master as the ' two aons of Zebedee. The services "held here at the Church are not merely for pur : pose of . getting you to come to - church. They are to help you to " conquea a little more every day the lusts of the flesh, and to secure purity. And then at the last wheo ' . the summons comes and you enter Into your reward you shall go, loved and beloved of all men. because of ; ' the goodness of your character, your gesl, your earnestness. The text Attempts to open your mind a little more fully along the illne 6t love. "He ye therefore nic-rcl-. ; ful. as your Father also Is merciful. Judge not and ye shall not be Judged; condemn not and ye shall " not be condemned; forgive and ye hall be forgiven." MOTK AM) PRAM. This doesn't mean that we sre not to be people of Judgment and dis cretion. It does not mean Unit If our neighbor is wicked, we shall not be aware of the fact Hut even If !",', suspect one Of evil. If we look around us we see that !'! endures ft: that the wicked are allowid - oftentimes to prosper; that the sun ud the rain mln!str nllke to nil ' Therefore should e bo content and be merciful to the wicked, (lod bids lis first have the beam removed from ; our own eye, that we may see cleerly . to remove the mote that is In our brother's eye. There Is a difference . between the beam and the mote r which is highly significant The . mote Is a thing which gets on the surface of the eye. The beam Is s distortion of the eye itself, it Is a disease. M'e msy see people whom ws think are morally diseased, when It . Is merely a surface trouble, and ..there may be corruption In our own life. There may be extenuating rlr. 'cumstances In the case of our nelgh ' bor which will In God's sliht render , Ms offence lees worthy of blame than ,- ours. Therefor ought we. to forgive and So live that the' poor and needy . should ever find In us a brother and ' . a helper. We want to have a name for love and for charity In this world , GIVING A DIVINE ACT. Je.su Christ says give and It shall ... returned to you. Th4smeahs that . We do not realize the divine ohar T acter of giving. We do not realize , whali valuf we can give money. IWhen we give to Ood we put en each '. .piece .of money the stamp of His own love. And it will all come bsck to us. No man. so far as the spraser knew. ', who had ever given, did not also receive. No one in all his tory is there who gave away all tha4 tie had Who died beggar. Tou cafP read the tecords'of wngs who gave nd you will find that their king. . doma grew greater and they ajrew rich In their time. a . THE JR15Tt?RNS MANIFOLD. - But even If the return In money, - should not equal the amount given away, The -Tonor In which we wti! be held, the regard which others will , have for us, the love which "we win . possess, the tenderoese with which . we will . be comldened, our earthly rewards, as : well. as. our own In dividual feelings, are enough to r pay os amply for the Inconveniences which we may perhaps have suffered and . the uneasiness of parting with our possessions. & . .- Here la' a means -bv which th. manifold and worrUa of the rich msy e eliminates, said Mr. Matllnckrodl a fact " whieti ' some few"; of them realize. But th tenderness of con .science whlch. formerly existed has 'paMed'awayV dseph'aiihrenes Mbited it, and even In later day h existed in the East. ' 'There, too, it has vanished atnee ChrisSaoitr has m!ngied with Uohammedanism. The rich hare more divorces, more sick r , more disorder of mind, more 'i;f y about money than any other .. .. It is because they have net lrn4 this leson that tha true value of money springs from Its being put Into use In the manner which does most to onng vf " highest -and -.holiest purposes. .

Mr. J. p. rvok, of Concord, was at the Helwyn Saturday. He was return ing from the Lincoln Llthla Country! Club. Mr. Cook is a member of the dub and went up to drink the wa ters anil spjoi-f his building lot. "Will you buld In the near future on the lot you eelected?" Mr. Cook was anked. "I aim," said Mr. Cook, "to b among the first of those who hurild.

Some weeks ago a newspaper man In an otherwise favorable write-up of a city park, criticised a certain slot machine picture In a public place and suggested Its removal. It chanced that three or four days elapsed before the management, which did not Enow of Its character, pounced upon it and put It out of business. "In the meantime," says one connected with the place, "after the publication of the article, that picture 4Jd far more business than all the others put together. Many who dir! not know what it was but heard of It. hunted through all the others till they found It." 'Twas ever thus.

What Is held by some to be the most timely and comforting sermon of tho year was preached last night to a congregation of Democrats by a Charlotte minister, within 48 hours of Bryan's nomination for the presi dency. The text was: "And now I exhort you to be of good cheer." There was not the remotest reference to politics In the sermon, but some politicians Insisted on taking It thai way, and accordingly they made no ble efforts to obey the Injunction.
