DR. DWIGHT By Rev. Dr. NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS, Pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. j In his latest j sermon Dr. New- i ell Dwight Hlllls ! preached to the | Plymouth congre- j gation upon! ‘‘Signs of Im- I pending Revolu- j tion la Cities a-nd , Empires,” taking his text from Revelation. ‘‘How is mighty Babylon fallen!” Max Muller once said that .Tesus dissolved the hardness of the ancient world by the three words—hu manity, brotherhood and love. Human ity destroyed the social pride of the Greeks and the bloody games of the Ro man emperors. Brotherhood destroyed the cruelty of masters toward their L)rnised slaves. Love melted tbe barriers between the races as summer melts blocks of ice between harvest fields. Tbe word brotherhood was a social discovery. It fell like music upon the ears of the gladiator and slave, the publican and outcast. For centuries the great word had been loyalty to the tribe. .Joshua was a hero because he slew every living thing in the capital of an opposing clan. Society was split np hito hostile camps. One tribe was over against another tribe like oppos ing castles bristling with bayonets. Love as a moral and spiritual senti ment was utterly unknown. The an cient world could not have conceived of a Damien serving the lepers of Mo lokai or Livingstone giving up offices and honors in London to spend forty years among the depraved blacks. A great gulf separated the Hebrew and tbe Greek. An abyss stood between Dives and Ijizarus, and that separa tion survives in the contempt felt to day by the fashionable set for the masses, by people of culture and posi tion for tile poor and weak. The an cient world said the gulf could not be bridged. Moral militarism tries 'to bridge it with bayonets; the fashion able slummers try to bridge It with lace handkerchiefs and kid gloves. An- archists think the gulf is wide and deep and would fain destroy tbe class es on either side. Jesus was a colossal figure, leveling mouiitahis and filling up valleys and with one hand upon Dives and the other upon Lazarus drew the classes together in a national unity. Max Muller was light. Many revolu tions were latent in these words—hu manity. brotherhood and love, watch words of the gospel of Jesus. Splendor of Cities Blinds Men to Social ' Problems. Tbe people of our great cities do not realize the acuteness of the social problem by reason of three facts. First, the magnificence of our cities. Their splendor and wealth dazzle men’s eyes .so tliat they cannot clearly see the mass of misery. In Christ’s time Jerusalem was a little town, Palestine a tiny land, and poverty, sorrow. s(3ualor. shame and sin were known and i-ead of all men. In our large cit ies the thunder of trade and the roar of tbe market place drown out the sighs and the sobs. Had Wordsworth ever entered our harbors what would be have said about the cloud capped towers, the golden palaces, the shmiug domes, the halls of science and the temples of trade? What harbors have we. crowded with ships! What halls of finauce, filled with gold and gems! What eraponums of trade, with shelves stuffed with scarlet, gold and blue! Each year brings several mil lion of visitors into our metropolis. A few days sate the eye and the intellect. Man’s hand was made for one golden bough and not forests; man’s mind was made to read one page at a time and not millions of books. The exte rior splendor that appeals to the eye and the ear and the physical sense fills man’s mind and heart to the exclusion of pain and gi’ief and woe, but all the time the ground vibrates with impend ing changes, and our people are like those who walk on the slopes of Vesu vius with a thin (Tust between their feet and fire, where the rich perfume.s from the orange and the oleander spice the inbreathed air. Th© Magnitude of Our Cities Bewil ders the Intellect. The magnitude of oui' cities bewil ders men’s minds, leaving no place for reflection upon the social yjroblem. Of ten tlirongli the desire to arouse the imagination men invoke the aid of as- ti'onomy witi) its infinite distances, but the millions of poor in our cities carry their own stimulus to the'imagination. Back of tl'.e marble vceioer of the pal ace are the j’ougli mortal' and the drab brick,-and just behind tlie palaces may be found tenements where the mulli- tudes live like bees in a swarm, packed together in little apartments, often of two rooms, where one serves for laun dry, kitclien, dining and receplion room and the other serves for the sowing machine run by the father and' the children.' Life is fuirof peril through foul air. epidemic, physical proximity and deadly monotony. ‘TLsTtlng nurses tell us of the number, variety and ma lignity of diseases. Common sense tells us that chiidi'Gij thus reared will be '■spent adults" ;it twenty and hence forth a burden u;joii the state.

The Four Rights of Man and tne Sigr.s of Revolution. Since the in:iguiln(’.'.'. the splendor, the wealth :iiul the misery of the great city blind men’s eyes to the acuteness of the social problem, conside^' the signs of impending revolntioiis as they are set forth in history., One condi tion has always preceded social up heavals—when people work hard and cannot obtain sufficient food to sup port their physical toil or grow their ehildren. The four fundamoital hu man rights, as stated by Jesus, are the right to life, the right to express one's gift, the right of hrotherliood and the right 'to hujipiness through self sacri fice- Our Declaration ©f Independence summarizes the first human right in the words, "life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness.” But life means suf ficient amount of food to enable the worker to fulfill his task, and when ever the people have toiled faithfully and are underfed they become bitter, lose faith in their leaders and in a blhid rage go forth desti'oying aimlessly. ‘Wit ness the story of the French revolution. The farmers in the conutry. the toilers in the city, all did their part, and there should have been broad and to spare. But the handful of patricians kept back for themselves an ever increasing store and gave the workers less and less to live upon. Patricians raised the rents until a time came when the wages were a franc a day and tlie rent, flour, milk and coal were a franc and a half. Wo men are not destroyers by nature, but when the second winter came the wo men realized that the men held stormy meetings _ in the drinking shops and coined their indignation into oaths, who.se influence ended with the vibrat ing air. One day a woman climbed upon a chair in the little market, where the food was abundant, but where there was no money in their purses. She charged impotency upon the men. Ignorance' upon their leaders, selfishness and crime upon their rul ers and shouted. “Let us go straight to the king and queen at Versailles.” In that hour the mob had a leader. Soon the factories became silent, the shops empty, because the people were in the streets. The very earth trembled with the stroke, of marching women and men, while the air vibrated 'with revo lution. When the women asked one deputy for bread, not understanding that all the dogs of revolution had been let loose the ofllcer answered in anger. “Eat grass!” So the mob hewed his head from his shoulders, pulled a hand ful of grass from his front garden and stuffed it between the jaws of the slain leader. French Mob Guilty of Cruelty to the Noblest Men. Even the noblest men suffei'ed indig nity. One night the mob attacked the house of an aged bishop who had lived in simplicity and poverty all the days of his life. Coming to his door, the aged c'^olesiastic lifted a torch above his head h-:d <>;:cla;med. “Wh;ii do you want. :::y ' '!'<> ndiic,^! t'.ie drui)ke;i crew.! :i::s\ve. ed. through Rignault, a ;.

Who are yo;; ; liii a genlle smile the old bislu’}) ansv.cied, "1 am the servant (ff God..'' “'‘vVell. you are going to prison and the gnillotino." Tiien to the mol). "Let-nn o;'dor be sent l‘o?'th to anwt one pc'rson named God." A few days later this same Ui.inmult was suc ceeded iiy fiiioilu-r revolutionist, and ho himself ^l as left in tlie .street '^vith his lovrer left jaw shot a'way. one eye gouged out and tlie other eye gazing wildly into space if perchance he might catch a .glimpse of “one being named God.’’ whom he liad in vain endeav ored to arrest. Then came the days of terror, the roar of the mob in the streets, the smashhig of windows, the pillaging of houses, the rattle of mus ketry, the crackling of flaiues, the shrieks of the wounded. A vast cata clysm overtook the city of art and beauty and, learning. Well did Mine. Roland cry. "Oh. liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!" On the hilltop, looking down upon Paris, walked the an.gei of justice, wringing her hands and weeping and sayin.g: “Oh, Paris' and France, thou beloved land, if thou liadst but known, if thou liadst but known, the day of I by -umni- ing and the signs'of impending revolu tion! But no'w is the destruction come because of injustice .unto the poor and ignoriint!" The People Vifork and Deserve the Fruitage. Another conditiou jirocediug revolu tions in ilmn.ght -and life is the dv-j.ji seated belief, ‘whcibcr right o:- wrong, on the pari of ihc muitilude.s that they have done their part in producing, only to find that iheir leaders are holding back the bon's share. Oftentimes the mob has hee'u mistaken; oft dema gogues have misled the niultitudesi bul the ])eople are very patient and, arc like the lamb led to (he slau.ghter and the sheep that stands dtimb before its shearers, opening not its mouth. Jusl now tliing-.s arc not well in this coun try. The oceasional firm ivitli ■war con tract's’and the labor iiiiion men havp. •neTer been sq prosperous.' Ehr them wages’are high and times.are good, but 'for the vast multitudes outside of uiiioi: -ranks' and flic common work.iiigme!i and the poor in the tenement regions conditions are becoming desjierate. The poor workingmen, living along the river front, with an increase of 50 per cent on their rent, with CO cents for a hundred pounds of coal, and Hour and eggs BO high, are not simply anxious— they ai’e bitter and desperate. When wiiiter comes on their inelancliol.v an:1 their brooding will be manifest in dull multerligcs. Never have they worked harder and never wore hunger and cold, with the iiece.s.sUies of the body, more urgent. The Contrast Striking Between Rich ar.cl Poor.

Never were tlierc so many hon est manufacturers. .-Ynd yet the occa sional iiivesti.gations in connection with the pure food law have made it possi ble for demago.gues to charge corrup tion upon ail men. Meanwhile if in England and I’rance the noblest men serve the people in our country there is an increasing revulsion from public life. More and move men of tbe type of Mr. Root ai'e turning away from of fice. ThinJv of the days when Daniel 'Webster and Charles Sumner were In the senate! Think of the quality of in tellect and character represented by Senator SteAvart in congress! Think of such men as Bright and Gladstone in England's house of commons! Your jurist, statesman, big busmess man. will not humiliate himself by submis sion to all the endless crawlings Uiat are becoming necessary to conduct a succe.ssful political campaign from one ward meeting to another. And in tliLs country whenever a man achieves great wealth and his wife and daughter are ambitions for social position the easiest way to buy it is to pay the expenses o.f the campai.gn. The result is inevitable. Government falLs into the haiuls of nonexperts. When the people lose con fidence in the men who ought to bo their Icador.s they tui'n to the dema gogue. who guides them toivard the precipice of c<‘onomic folly and shame. The Right to National Help Through Sacrifice. But not only have poor men a right lo life. ll;e right to make the most of Ihcms'-'l .••.■'s, '.vitli the right of brother hood, hut they :ilso have the right to the help of men who represent self sac rifice. Gur ponoralion needs to remem her the right.s of weakness. Just be cause tlie child is helpless it has its rights. Just because the poor are ig- noram and without .skill in loadershij) they have the right to your devotion and aid. Just l^ecause yon are rich and powerful aiid liave oliice, you owe a solemn debt to the multitudes witli out these gifts. Genius is a trust loan ed'by God.

Any person troubled with sore, bleeding gum-s, which oftimes are al most too sensitive to touch, will be elated after rinsing the mouth with a half-and-half solution of water and natural iron, known as “Acid Iron Mineral,” which may be secured at most every drug store. Dentists use it to stop bleeding and as a mouthwash when extracting teeth and it is perfectly harmless. It acts as a germicide and antiseptic as well as a splendid healing agent. For cuts, this same natural iron is fine. Pouring a little on the spot stops bleeding and prevents soreness and festering. Thousands of people troubled with old sores never healing have found the solution in Acid Iron Mineral, which being a highly concen trated form of natural iron makes a superb external remedy. , Go to the nearest drug store and ask for a bottle of Acid Iron Mineral. If druggist hasn’t it, send $1, to the Fer- rodine Chemical Corp., Roanoke, 'Va., for a large brttle. NOTE: For piles, ulcers, sores and skin affections, the Ferrodine Cheimeal Corp. has performed an ointment con sisting of this highly concentrated natural iron and soothing medicinal elements, which combined makes this ointment unexcelled. Splendid Recipe For Making Grape Juice- Pick grapes from bunches, place in vessel and heat until soft. Next strain in sack, remo-ving all juice. Place juice in vessel and add three tea cups of sugar to every gallon of juice. Bring to a boiling point, or take off when it begins to b^ubble. Bottle while hot in clean bottles. Push cork in tight and even with top of bottle. Next dip top of bottle in parafine or sealing wax, repeating the operation several times to insure thorough sealing. NEWS Close to three quarters of a million dollars in capitalization of new con cerns to do business in the state were represented in three charters granted Thursday by the Secretary of State. The new concerns are Wilmington Mo tor Company, capitalized at $25,000, Latham-Bradshaw Company, Greens boro, to deal in cotton, capitalized at $500,000, and the T. W. Tyack- Tobac co Company, of Winston-Salem, with $100,000 capital. Use Garden Wastes As Feed. If persons who have gardens will see to it that the unavoidable wastes are converted into fodder, a great sav ing will be effected. People having gardens might arrange with farmers, and those raising chickens and pigs, to see that full .use is made of green stuff remaining from garden crops. This fodder would include pea and bean vines, turnip tops, and other ma terials of no use to man. Pamlico Solves School Problem County Superintendent T. B. Att- more, of Pamlico county, has solved the problem of the Oriental graded school. _A benzine buggy which will carry thirty, children is to carry the-m- ral children into town to the school. A 19-year-old boy who wishes an oppor tunity of going to school is to drive the wagon for the pri-vilege of going to school. Instead of a one-teacher school being maintained for the children too far from town to go in otherwise, the advantages of the graded stiiool at Oriental will be offered them. How to Make Croquettes Croquettes may be made of almost any sort of meat or fish. Good conv binations to use in croquettes are meat and boiled hominy in equal propor- tio'ns, meat and rice, meat and maca roni and numerous other nutritious combinations. They may be cither fried or baked. The sauce is a very important item. To make, put a cupful of milk in a double boiler and scald it. Rub a ta blespoonful of fieur into two table- sponfuls of butter, and stir this pasta into the scalding milk until it is dis solved and the sauce has thickened. Add a teaspoonful of onion juice, a teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, a little cayenne and a little nutmeg. Remove from the fire and stir into the mixture a well-beaten egg. Place on the fire again just long enough to cook the egg without letting the mix ture boil. Add two cupfuls of meat, minced very fine. Pour the whole on to a fiat dish and set it away for two or three hours. It will then be stiffened and can be easily molded. The softer the mixture- the better will be the sauce, and if it is allowed to stand long enough the molding will not be diffi cult. LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH FINGERS Tells How to Loosen a Tenildor Corn or Callus So It Lifts Out Without Pain. You reckless men and 'AAmmcn who are pesv:4'od with coras and who 1 avo at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or callus the soreness is re lieved and soon the entire corn or cal lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin gers. Froezone dries the moment it is ap- pli4, ajid simply shrivels the corn or calii:? without iunamiiig or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue 'or skin. A sm;ill bo-^tle of freezone^ will cost very little at any diaig store, but it will positi-rely rid one’s feet of every hard or soft coi’n or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn’t any freezone he can get it at any wholesale di'Ug house for you.
