A SERMON FOR SUNDAY JIN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED -CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE." Th Her. Dr. Frank 01IverHall Says We Mut Learn How to Face the Pros7 pertty a. Well as the Hard Condt tieS of This World. New York Cnr.-Tbe Rev. Dr. Frank Oliver Hall, pastor of the Church of the Stone Patermty, pioachecl Sunday morn W on "Facing the Circumstances of Life He took his text from Phxhppians iv: 12: -I' know how to be abased, and I, also "know how to abound I have learned the have humble circumstances, and I know how to 1 ace prosperity." , , . , , That is a great lesson, and one which few Tnen ever do learn. But . it is a lesson which we all need to learn in order to pre serve happiness, the integrity of character nd to make the most of lite. First Let us look first for. the secret of low to face humble circumstances. Every ne stands in danger of being reduced to poverty. No matter how much you may possess to-day, on the morrow it may be 111 swept away. If you put your monev m . bank the cashier may abscond with it and leave you with nothing but a hook J with certain hieroglyphics scribbled there in to indicate that you were once affluent. If you put your money in mining stocks, the ore may give out, or bad management may rain the enterprise. If you invest in a ' railroad, a rival line may get all the traffic, or some unscrupulous speculator may wreck the business for his own enrich ment. If you buy real estate, it may de Treciate upon your hands, or a fire may :weep away your holdings in a night. If you conclude to wrap your treasures in a napkin and-hide it jn ahole, some thief may discover and steal it. So no matter Iiaw nH vnu mav be. to-morrow you may t y ' n i jrroyerDiaiiy, ricnes wings and fly . away. te as poor as any At to themselves It is, therefore, extremely important that one learn the secret ot now to tace numbie circumstances. What is the first step to be taken in this direction? H) My first word df advice is this: Train .-yourself to work. Learn to be useful in "some specific way. Learn to perform some :nervice of importance so that you might ne -dropped down in any portion of the civil ised globe absolutely without resources, -and yet be able at jonce to command at least the necessities pf life from the com munity in which you find yourself, in re turn for the service which you are able to .render. I take it that this was one of the great Treasons for the contentment of the man niho wrote the words of our text. He was independent because be was a skilled work tnan, and knew how, by the use of -his .hands; to command in any community the mecessities of life. The Jewish people were extremely wise in many directions, and "4beir wisdom was nowhere more manifest than m the rule which they made as to the education of youth. Every Jewish boy, no matter what the circumstances of his iife, must be taught a trade. The boy rSanl, although probably from an early age ; predestined by his parents to become a : scholar, a teacher, a religious leader, was nevertheless taught to make tents. That is, he knew how to weave camel's hair and other material into the fabric of which tents were made. Thus, after his conver . ioa to Christianity, when his worldly orosoects were ruined, and he had cast in his lot with the poorest and humblest peo ple on earth, he was, as far as it is possi . l)le for a man, independent. How was it that this man was a hie to travel over the ' world delivering his message to slaves and people without resources,? When he. went to a new- community he at, once sought - work, and round it because he was skilled ia making something which that commu nity needed. He earned his bread by the work of bis hands, and spoke his message because he loved it. And when the peo ple to whom he spoke, came to him out of latitude and wanted to contribute to---ward his support, he accepted their hum ble gifts on the principle that the laborer is v.orthy of his hire, and thanked them, but repeatedly declared that such ' gifts were not necessary to his life. "For I am not; in want," he said. "I can earn the necessities of life." In what an enviable position such a man stands. How much better it would be if every, religious teacher of our time had been taught gome useful occupation by which he could command the necessities of life. He might never be called upon to -use. his ability in that direction, but the possum of it would mean liberty. He T01 longer be haunted by the fear that if he did not conform his opinions' to those of the church authorities the bread -would be taken from the mouths of his hiittren. The knowledge that he had pow r.f0 command bread for his family by the , toil of his hands would give to him entire freedom in search for truth and in utter it. -ud if this is true of religious teachers it is just as true of people in other depart- Tnents of hfe. Liberty is but a dream for Any manwho must conform his political opinions to those of his emplover unless he woiua see tus supply of food cut off.

For one who has known prosperity -t$ be obhged to face humble circumstances, to maintain courage and cheerfulness, is -extremely difficult. How shall he be able to do this? . Let him meditate upon the relation of v...ues. laul had been a man of great I0Hue' and was on the high road to wealth and exalted position, but he lost it s..l and came to associate with slaves and people held m social contempt; he went back to tent-making, and from being a re bgious, leader became a common laborer. - I .a co.ura3e instead of being dimin ished, was increased. No braver man ever ven! VT 1S ,cneerfulness was constant. v hen they had scourged him and placed . . mm m the torturing stocks he sang. No pessimistic word ; ever escaped him, no S.comyeflection can.be found in his let ters. How did he ' escape gloom and de spair under such circumstances? He had .ui-eu mc relation of values. "All thin you out and say, "Come, serve me. I need you. Go to work in my shop, or my vine yard; take up your residence in my house t what is mine shall be yours, and it shall be my care that you and yours do not suf fei ; want." Li you really believed in that man, and trusted him,: there, could be no further anxiety on your part. Only as far as you disbelieved in him, only as far as you distrusted his honor or his generosity could you be anxious. Now the richest being in the universe, God who owns it all," has laid Himself under obligation to us by bringing us into the world. God has duties, as every moral being must have. If a father or a mother has duties toward an offspring, God must have duties to ward, us. He has invited us to come and live in His house, yea, has brouiht us here whether we would or not, and He has said in effect that if we will do as well as we can He will care for us. It is only as far as we- distrust the providence of God. or disbelieve in His providence, that anxiety can find a place in our lives. "Why are ye anxious?" asked Jesus. "If God clothes the grass of the field and cares for the birds of the air, shall He not much more care for vou, O ye of little faith?" ' But this is only one-half of Paul's secret. He had learned how to be abased, but he had also learned how to abound. He had learned to face adverse circumstances, and he had also learned to face prosperity. We must all have known people who came un scathed thr6ugh adversity, and were after ward ruined by prosperity. Under the in fluence of good fortune they become con ceited, arrogant and selfish. More people have been spoiled by wealth than by pov erty. I have come to feel that no greater evil can befall a young man or woman than to be rich through the effort of father or grandfather, and so be freed from the blessed necessity of winning one's own way. Those who struggle from poverty to afflu hv Wmintr first how to be abased af terward learn now to abound. But those who begin in abundance are frequently spoiled by possessing without effort what we are apt to call the blessings of life. Wealth may be a blessing, but' poverty is oftener so. Jesus said: 'Blessed are the poor." Now a poor man is not blessed be cause he is poor. If that were so how easy (nr rtiv one of us to secure blessedness. But poverty urges to effort and effort opens the door to large attainment. TTn-ir then, mav one cultivate and pre serve such admirable qualities of charac ter, the true riches of the soul, wnue rac ing prosperity? (1) Let him in the first place take a les- son m humility, we are apt to say ui wealthy man, He is independent." It is a false saying. No man who lives in a civ ilized community is independent. The only , 1 , 1 A t 11.. n reaiiy inaepenaenc oeing is me aaoic man who lives by himself in the wilderness. dressing in the skin3 of wild beasts and eating roots. The moment he exchanges his War skin for a blanket he places him self under obligation to the man who raises the sheep, the man who cuts tne wool, tne man who spins the yarn, tne man wno weaves the blanket. The moment he ex changes his diet of roots for one of bread he places himself under obligation to the farmer who raises the wheat, the reaper who cuts it, the miller who grinds it, and to thousands of others whose busy brains and hands have constructed the instru ments which make these processes possible. This truth is extremely far reaching. Not onlv for material wealth are we under ob ligitions to our fellows, but also for our in tellectual wealth. Others have labored and we have entered into their labors. It is creditable for a man to study and possess the wisdom of the ages. But let him tem per his pride in the abundance of his intel lectual possession with the thought that every great truth he learns has been dis covered by another. Our abundance of in tellectual riches has been dug out of the solid rock by the men of the past who la bored with bleeding hands. And this is just as true of thosesoiritual riches which we value. Liberty of thought. THE SUNDAY 1 SCHOOL h ?c.? stood t0 my credit I have now. ioi Uiristg sake, tome to reckon as loss. c ii.an that, 1 reckon everything else Joss, on account of the exceeding value Ho f. w- nS dSU3 Christ my .Lord.

Listen: "I have leai-faed the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to acound and to be in want." How? Be '?.y.s?c I have discovered that "I can do all , things in Him that strengtheneth me." To the person who really "believes in God, that,Godwatchfs bver h'im and loves him, there can" be rsally no such' thing as adver sity. If coie mau of immense wealth and 1 proved generosity, some man in whose 5r:nor you implicitly believe, were to seek how much has it cost in the suffering and mighty courage of men who have long since gone to their reward? The environment of our lives which conduces to purity of heart, how much did it cost in the struggle of our ancestors out of a beastly state into de- cencv of livins? Let us not be wise in our j own conceit, but in the midst of our abund ance let us thmk humbly, soberly, accord ing as God has given unto us, through the ministry of our fellow men. the measure of all things which we possess. (2) then as we face abundance, even as when we face want, let us endeavor to ap preciate the relation of values. Is the man who possesses wealth better than the man who. possesses nothing? Perhaps. But not because he possesses wealth. Is the univer sity graduate, the man who possesses intel lectual riches, better tha" the man who has never been to school: May be. ut vot because he is a university graduate. The man who possessos much and is stincv is worse than the man who possesses little and is stingy, because there may be an ex cuse for the stinginess of the man who ha3 only a crust and faces starvation, but there is no excuse for the man who goes on add ing barn to barn or thousands of dollars to other thousands, while his neighbors hun ger. There may be excuse for the ignor ant man for nr.t trying to advance the in tellectual standards of the community in which be lives. He has nothing to give, no capital to work. with. But there is no ex cuse to be made by the man who has had all the advantages that the colleges afford, for doing nothing for the world. He has powerand should use it. Thebnly riches worth while are in the character. Use your abundant possessions to help build the kingdom of God, as the workman uses his tools to construct a wall or to build a bFidge. So shall your dollars be transformed into character, and your intellectual achievements minister to ethical attainments. (3) Finally learn to face prosperity bv continually acknowlediing that what, you seem to possess you do not really possess , at all. You are only & trustee' of a portion j of the estate which belongs to God. I I po?se8s so many golden dollars. ' How beau tiful, they are, how substantial, how en during. See ir-e Ciutch them. They are mine. I will hold thera. Nothine shall rob me of them. Nothing? Wait. Shortly this hand of mine which clutches so firmly shall be palsied in death and later crumble to dust. The grasp upon the gold shall be loosened. Mine? It was never mine. Out of God's earth if came. In God's earth no human power can prevent its ultimately returning. "Naked came I into the world, and naked shall I depart thither." To night, may be, that journey shall com mence. How absurd, then, to talk of my possessing wealth. But there is one possession which we shall keep, and which shall endure as long as we endure. Character shall endure, be cause my character is myself. If one has Earned love, that shall abide. Purity of heart, honesty of purpose, kindness of life shall endure, for these belong to the im mortal soul of man. Said Jesus, "The man who in the spirit of love ministers to the sick, clothes the naked, feeds the hun gry, visits the prisoners, he and he alone shall hear the voice of Him who sitteth upon the throne, saying, 'Come ye blessed, inherit the kingdom prepared for vou from the foundation of the world.'

In the midst of bonds and afflictions, while facing death, , he Idid not falter, but preached the gospelj declaring the whole counsel of God, with joy. He says, "I am pure from the blood of all men." "This form of expression' very striking. It is borrowed from the rime of niuraVr, and the method by whigch guilt is ordinarily brought home to the criminal. In many cases conviction defends on blood being found on the clothes; of themurderer. This is the conception thit leaps, into the apos tle's mind." He is j conscious of his per formance of duty, and. if any are .lost who had- heard the gospel from his lips, their blood will not be required at his hands. III.

According to a decree of the Emperor Paul of 1797, the succession is by right of primogeniture, with preference of male over female heirs, but this must be a different law from that of our own royal house, otherwise the Czar's brother would not be his present heir apparent in preference to his eldest daughter.

Of watches alone there are received at Mont-de-piete and the twenty-two branch offices from 1000 to 1200 a day, about 330,000 in a year, the average lean on a watch being thirty or forty francs. The official assured me that in this great number of watches scarcely one, in 1000 'has- been stolen, the fact being that people who have come dis honestly by watches or other property fight shy of the Mont-de-piete. The reason of this was presently made plain as we watched the formalities of record, and localized how difficult it would be for any one to do business here under a concealed identity. Ev ery client receiving a loan greater than fiften francs must produce some of ficial document an insurance policy, a citizen's voting card, a permit to carry arms or a rent receipt bearing his signature and throwing light upon his station in life.
