"SB PULPIT. N: ELOQUENT SUNDAY SfcRMON BV ' " ' DR. C. L. ' COQDELU . - -' ' Subject : ' The Carpenter' Son. New York City. Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church of Harlem, through the effectiveness of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Charles l. Goodell, is grow ing in an unparalleled way. Last February, as the result of revival ser vices lor the month of January, he broke all city -church records by ad mitting 303 members. Sunday morn ing more than 350 were z : ceived into the church, and these, added to the fifty taken in at the January com munion, make a total of more than 400 admissions as a result of four weeks of revival services. ' Dr. Goodell gave this as the reason of the great ingathering: 'There is -no secret to it; any church can be stirred as ours has been if it is willing to pay the price. The price? It is consecration, prayer and hard work. All three are needed in about equal parts. Our magnificent congregation has been moved by prayer and in turn has moved others." The reception of members into this church Sunday was a joyful event for the nv listers and members, for it placed Calvary Church at the head of Methodism in point of membership. Calvary now has a' few more than 2400 members on its roll. Since Dr. Goodell has been at Calvary, twenty one months, ther; has been a net gain of 1000 members, or about seventy five :ev cent. Of these new members more Us an 00O came on probation. The clnircn seats 2200 and every Sun day night all seats are filled early. At some ot the special services mauj chairs had to be brought in and the al tar space filled, and then scores could not nul seats, Sunday there were, fif teen .lenomiuations represented by those who came by letter. About 1500 persons took communion in the morning, Bishop L. G. Andrews, of Brooklyn; the Rev. Dr. Frank Ma son North, of the City Mission, and Tract Society of New York City, and Mr. Williams, the assistant pastor, and officers of the church assisting. In the afternoon about 500 more were com muned. In the evening Dr. Goodell preached on '-The Carpenter's Son." The text was from Matthew xiii:35: "Is this not the carpenter's son?" He said: Qit of the doorways of the poor come the men who make the world rich and God walks oftener in the narrow rooms and on the creaking stairs of the little cottages than in the wide, sounding halls of the rich with armor and "pictures looking down. You have seen the home of Burns and Shaks peare; picture to yourself something as much poorer as these are meaner than the homes of the newly rich and you may call that the home of a car penter in Nazareth. They will show you the place with votive offerings and gewgaws in it, but you will say, "So!" and walk out. Find a place svbere a carpenter is now making an ox bow or a poor man's table and it wifi be like what He knew, for the men of Nazareth are like all their kin in the East; they change not in a thou-, sand years. I like to think that for thirty years Jesus knew the narrow iways of a laborer. His trade He plied, a carpenter, and built Doors, where folks come and go, unto this hour, Not wotting how the hands which wrought their doors Unbarred Death's sate by Love's high sacrifice Tables whereon folks set their meat, and eat, Heedless of Who was ''Bread of Life" and gave Such food, that whoso eateth hungereth not. And, in those little lanes of Nazareth, Each morn His holy feet would come and go While He bore planks and beams, whose back must bear The cruel cross. And, then, at evening's fall, Resting from labor, with those patient feet Deep in white wood dust, and the long curled shreds Shorn by His plane He would turn inno cent eyes Gazing far past the sunset to that world He came from, and must go to; nigh to Him Nigh unto us, albeit we see it not, Whereof Life is the curtain, and mute Death Herald and Doorkeeper. Nazareth was a town in which to talk with God. The great plain before it had felt His thunderous foot. There was Carmel, where Elijah talked with God. in plain sight. There was Jezreel of Ahab and Jezebel. There was Eu dor and Saul and the witch. There was Tabor, lone and majestic, near at iband. and Hermon far to the north, cloud-capped and snow-peaked, while ito rho East, hidden behind a dozen rules of bill and dale, was the sea of ( alii e mother of sermon and of mir ii.lc.. in Nazareth He found the il 3 t' ations which make so large a part ";' I lis sermons. There was a great ,: iy of moil and toil before Him, and ! ''t e in the cool of the morning He iiust store up ,the reserve that will " ke Him on to awful noon at Jerusa m. It takes a great soul to bide his vne to get ready for a great act and 1 'i patient with the training and the kw step of the years. To live with vL'od and in Him is the main thing after all. He walked those cliffs with no one to look at Him or to wonder at Him prayerful, masterful, patient. "Was there ever a better example for ordinary people. It is good for the burning fever of life to look at Him. The world is too much with us soon find late. Our home life is low and sordid. We fret under it. There are too many little things to do. Too much f ou ne and too little of outlook. What are we saying? Look at Him. Poverty? Yes. Toil? ' Yes. Did they "K'ho saw Him appreciate Him? We Shan see; who was it Wid: "Is not this the .arpenter's son?" and how did they say it? It was a taunt and a sneer. You know now how He came to say, "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." The very men whose houses He h;ad built were ready to stone Him to death. It has of ten been so. The men who have built the houses that the world's thought lives in to-day were ost of them, buried in ignominious Slaves. Very likely the men you serve juay throw stones at you from the vintage ground where you put them, ut it will be no new thing, so keep sweet about it. He could afford to wait. His carpeuter' bench would yet we holy because He worked at it, and the tools He handled yrexiia bt held at the price of & "tinges TaMbin. His is the gospel cf the, mechanic. Die fitted Himself" at-' a carpenter' bench to say, "Come unto Ms all ye that labor and are heavy lade and 1 will give you rest." ad'Aio sym pathy either with the jan wKo wants more work than he pays potior the man who 'wants . mo:i paythah he works for. I want you to see irom this life that great deeds should, go along with common lif eV making It sublime. When you read of ,Wi? great economies that had to.e .ptictffi:'"tMtptoes of such men as Je)s and jUcottHaw thorne and Emerson, ycu realize ihe advantage of plaf living arid.: nigh thinking. There is,, too muck high liv ing and meagre thinking. The struggle after a more sumptu ous life than., we.-can afford takes the strength, out of us, and if we'jtet it it takes the nerve for toil and sejfftial, which are only other names for victory, away from tis. Our impatience takes away bur capacity and love for toil, and we are miserable and useless. ' Be happy in a humble home. You will never have to live so cheaply as did Jesus. Then make up your mind to work. Jesus the Carpenter taught us the dig nity of toil. He made the saw and the plane as truly the ensign of a noble life as the fasces or the toga of the Roman. There is an evangel of toil. The shuttle and the hoe, the saw and the reaper have a message which the world must hear. The workers make life glorious, the shirkers make it de testable." "My father worketh hither to and I work" was the challenge of the Christ to every indolent and care less soul. Virgil sings of men and arms, but the song of to-day is a song of men and tools. I have a Saviour who wrought the hot day through. I can talk with Him of quivering palm and throbbing limbs and a fainting heart and He will know. You cannot imagine Him as making a poor joint or allowing a bad knot in an important place. To meet your ideal, and that an ideal which He has founded by His own character, you will take nothing less than a honest attempt at a perfect product. The de sire to slight one's work will lead to a compromise of character, and that will lead to the loss of the soul. It is not the work but the spirit you put into it which makes the task ignoble or sublime. I would have every man step to his work to-morrow without dread or envy. I would haye him feel that Jesus the Carpenter was the ' great model, and that if He could fit Him self for the conquest the world at a carpenter's bench any laborer may feel iiuiiseii sunuuuui'u nu glorious uopes and his dingy little shop become tbe habitat of angels. Paul stitching tents thought out those wonderful chapters of npiritual logic which"! move the world. Carey, the shoemaker, thought out the plan of giving the Bible to the Hindoos. Morrison, the last-maker, gave the gospel to China. Burrett, the blacksmith, became the most learned workman of his day. Daily humble life lived on high levels this is the happy possibility of common men. What high discourse there must have been in that humble home when the day's work was over; what acts of af fection, what mutual confidences and holy trust! . But He who made lintels for the doors of Nazareth set up also the gates of the eternal city of God. He who made humble houses for the common people of His native town was the Artificer of the eternal home of the soul. It was not a figure of His im agination when He pictures the unsafe foundation and the awful ruin of that unsecure house. He had seen the tor rent rush down the chalk cliff.? of Naz areth and sweep away the houses of His fellow craftsmen. Small wonder that He looked upon that ruin from the standpoint of a careful builder. But when they drove the carpenter from His bench at Nazareth He went out to build for eternity. I want to a sk you to give your contract for an eternal mansion to Jesus the Carpen ter. As a wise master builder, He asks you to count the cost. Are you ready to build? Are 5-011 willing to pay for a good foundation and will the su perstructure you rear be a sacred one? He will not countenance the orna mentations that hide the lack of solid worth. He will have no part in the consummate fraud of a life that is built on the sand. He will not build with hay and stubble. If it wei-e a house to sell it might be out of your sight, but lie r me when I say it is the house you are to live in forever. If there is a flaw in it you will find it out. If -when the winds blow and the floods come it falls you will go down in the ruin. Yes.erday a man gaspin for breath said "I am almpst ashamed to ask God to have mercy on me when I ignored Him for three score years," and lyou will feel the same. To leav yai in, old age to the mercy of the wintry blasts would be cruel, but the man who shirks in the building of his sours" tabernacle does' that for himself. Only Jesus inows how to build for eternity. Tin? eld Romans were great builders of roads and bridges, and the old Egyptians were gieat builders of pyramids, but I want somebody who can build a house, for the soul that will outlast pyramids and stars. No man save Jesus can have my contract. " AWFUL PSOIUAStS 35tffiSr- i Terrible Scaly Humor In Patches All Over . BodySkin Cracked and Bleeding Cured by Cnticnra "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty five years. It was in patches all over my body. 1 used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment arid two bot tles of Resolvent. In thirty days 1 was completely cured, and I think permanent ly, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the centre a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appear ance, and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would f6rm again in twenty four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales, ,remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and "bleed. I suffered intense-itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or olood warm by exercise, when it would be almost Vinbearable. iW. M. Ohidester, Hutchinson, Kan.,AprU 201905."
