I ^ I THE PULPIT. a AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY P BISHOP D. A. COODSELL. |sg Subject: The Face of Christ. H Brooklyn, N. Y.?A very large audi3?&. ^- ? ? T-.v,/.??r,/,lA Cnmlor tn ence uiieu iue iiiuciua^ic .. listen to Bishop D. A. Goodsell. His subject was "The Face of Christ." The text was irom II. Corinthians iv:6: B "The glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." Bithop Goodsei? said in the H course of his sermon: Kg As you read the Bible both in the H Old and New Testaments you are im pressed with the great number of times which the word "face* is used. I When you travel in Eastern lands you |i find that this word is used far more tm often and in many different relations I among the Eastern people than we our selves are accustomed to use it. This word face is used in referpnce I to a man's whole character. 1 am told, I everywhere in the East, and we have a great many traces of it in the Bible: I and now when we come to think of it I isn't it true that we are accustomed I to recognize each other more by the I face than by any other one thing. Is I it not wonderful that upon the few I elements in the face, the forehead, the H eyes, nose, mouth and chin there 19 should be such ar. infinite variety of ?9 expression stamped by the great Cre ator? ~ ? ffonom 1 rnnviption amOHC -Lxitrx c ao ? ^? _ us that the face will work out the Inner character, so that whatever may be the beginning of life -when we have lived with ourselves a long time we iwill be pretty apt to show upon our faces what kind of a person we have lived with. It is impossible for any person to give way to avarice without showing it on their face. If he had an open face once it will change: and so the man who gives way to the forces of passion, whether he gives way to lust or whether he gives way to drink, or whether he gives way to appetite for food, it will show out on his face. We write upon our faces what we live .with and no man can wear a mask so completely that those who are wise in these things are not able to read behind the mask. Now, what one is there among us that has not desired again and again to have lived when the face of Jesus Christ could have been seen. I think there is no devout soul that in his trouble has not said, Oh. that I could look into my Master's face. Oh, that I could," live as the little children did, "have rested my head against His breast and have heard Him say to me as He said to them, 'Suffer them to come.'" ^ You can scarcely go into a Christian home to-day where Christian education I lias presided -where there is not at least one or more representations of the face of Jesus Christ. I have observed according to our experiences, according to our wants, we fasten upon the representations of Jesus Christ's face that are most satisfying to us, most fitting. So that if we are under deep penitence of sin, we are apt to have the'face of the suffering Christ upon the Cross, and if the sorrows of the .world have burdened our hearts, we twill carry there the face of the tbornfcrowned Christ in oar homes. If we fcave dwelt upon Christ in His strength, in His power, in His resistance to evil, in the calm majesty 4of one who knows he is innocent, we .Would most likely have the picture of Christ before Pilate. From the days of the Catacombs up to the present time, men have been trying to put Christ's face before humanity, and ;why? Because all souls in their greater moments, in their spiritual moments, and therefore in their religious moments, would like to have Him brought near oy. xney wouia use 10 nave miu made more real. . . . The best thing is to so carry Jesus Christ in our heart that we sball see 'Him and behold the glory of Cod in ,the face of Jesus Christ. . The actual picture must remain the same. We may study it, we may unj derstand its history. It is not at all probable that any one is going to see in a moment what it took the artist years to produce, though this may happen. But as we grow spiritually it is possible for us by spiritual sight to behold our Lord, to behold Him more clearly as the years go on. When we study this one word, the (word face, we find that it stands related to three great facts and to none other that I know of, and these three facts are, first, revelation, then inspiration and finally reward. This is exactly what the Apostle means by this text, that he who studies the face of Jesus Christ he who enlarges his vision by spiritual imagination, will have the revelation of the divine truth <*ome to him. For do we not know that Jesus came to reveal God to us, to reveal God to a world in which the dim eye of sin could but imperfectly see Him. But the trouble is that our eyes eee as we are educated to see. I have often noticed while passing along the street that a man is usually interested in the trade he represents. If he rwas a hatter, he looked at my hat; if lie was a tailor he looked at my ?.clothes; if he was a shoemaker he Oooked at my shoes; if he was a bootblack he looked to see whether they iwere muddy or not, and so our vision is trained by what we are doing, by ,what we are thinking. If our eyes are trained only to the things of time, then all the beauty that we see is in the things of time, but by using these as stepping stones to something higher and nobler, then we see by the power of God's revelation that there is a God here in this world, and that He is Ruling the world in the interest of Jesus Christ. I believe that you would have thought yourself victims of fate if you had not been taught by Jesus Christ doctrine of divine fatherhood. You iwould have thought perhaps that this ;wor!d -was made by chance if you had not seen Him standing in the stern of the ship and saying to the troubled waves, "Peace, be still." But because He has come, because He has passed through all the phases of our life from infancy to maturity, because we nas oeen xemptea, uecause ne suomitted to -wrong in order that He might do a great and holy work, because He has given the most perfiect example of what humanity ought to be under all phases and circumstances, because He is here and was God manifested in the flesh, we. His brethren in the creation, and we. His brethren In the redemption of the cross, know that we are tear to God, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die for us. jjjj I have to travel a good deal in my iwork, as you know. Very often I wake oarly in the morning, and lift the curtain of my sleeping car that I may see where we are, and what the prospects are. Sometimes it is clouded, sometimes it is clear. There are pools in Ihft HneirJ-a tha frnntc nr JU liiV Uiivnv-J uvoiuv kuv V? perhaps we are running alongside the lake and I look at the lake and out there I can see things mirrored. It has been a great pleasure to me sometimes to pick out the stars. Why there is Orion and there is Sirius, there Is the big dipper and there is Jupiter and j there is Venus, the morning star, and there is Mars. I didn't have to look up. 1 looked down and saw it reflected. And then I would see the round orb - . A T 1,1 coo what Of tne mora aiiu * phase of the moon was on by looking down as I could by looking above. Then I have seen the wind set the glassy surface into waves, and it would be only belts of broken light. That is the way it is in human society. We are looking down upon the world which reflects human weaknesses, bumau sin, human passions. There isn't a glassy place to reflect the glory of Christ in. There are all kinds of passions at work and the best that we can 6ee is the ruffled surface of humanity, but I see bars of light that are on the surface, then, wben I look up I see the glorious Christ. Now, finally, the glory of God in tbev face of Jesus Christ is revealed, not 1 only as a revelation, not only for inspiration. but for reward. How full the New Testament is of this idea that ; the sight of Jesus Christ shall be the I reward of the saint and the Old Testa- I ment. too: "My eyes shall see the ! King in His beauty,*' "We shall be sat- I isfied when we wake in His likeness," j "We shall see Him and know Him as He is." How many more passages does your memory bring up out of your I religious education that teach this doc- ! triDe? We wbo are here tbis morning, if we believe in God we shall not only see ! those who have gone before, wbo have j been in our homes, but the great am hition of a devoted soul win De grau- i fied?we shall see God. blessed are the pure in heart, for : they shall see God. According to the measure of our inward purity do we i seem to see God here. When we shall, j by the washing of regeneration and . the renewal of our hearts and the , sanctification of our spirit, until we j can say the Lord hath made me whiter | than snow. We walk with Him, our | hand is in His hand and our head is j on His bosom. He carries us when ; we are weak, as a shepherd carries the \ lamb. He heals our disease. He com- i forts ue in our sorrows. He is in our . homes when we are there, in our shops ! when we are there, in the streets when j we are walking, on the sea when we ; are sailing. I We shall see Christ, not in His hu- ' mniation, but in His exaltation; not j as a babe in the manger, but as a king I of the universe; not as humbled be- j fore Pilate, but as ruling all things j and judging all things. I believe in heaven because I believe in God. I do not know where It is, I ! think that I am convinced that It is a . condition rather than a place. This is j shown by the parable of Dives and j Lazarus, one in paradise and one in ; L n/wilrJ tnlk flProSK the ! JiCll, JCl IUCJ vvu>? ??? , gulf. That must have been moral rather than physical. But I do not know that if God is everywhere, my soul shall soar through space and find i Him everywhere. It may be that j heaven is everywhere, as God is everywhere to the devout soul. Getting at Life's Values. Things that tome easily are not of much value. Vacation time does not ] often record noteworthy accomplish- J ment. It is when the pressure of life i is at its highest, perhaps close to the i breaking point, that results usually | count for most. That time that we are looking forward to, when this present i grinding pressure will be off and we j shall have an opportunity to do something, is not likely to record nearly as good work as we are doing under friction and stress. Those particles of carbon might have been nothing more than coal or graphite if consuming heat and enormous pressure had not crystallized them into a diamond. If such a weight is just now upon us, let us rejoice at the opportunity we have for getting at the precious things of life.?S. S. Times. Preparation For Work. The morning is the gate of the day, and should be well guarded with prayer. It is one of the threads on which the day's actions are strung, and shduld be well knotted with devotion. If we felt more the majesty of I, life, we should be more careful of its | mornings. He who rushes from his home to his i business, and waiteth not to worship, I is foolish, as though he had not put on I his clothes or cleaned his face, and as unwise as though he dashed into battle without arms or armor. Be it ours to bathe in the softly flowing river of communion with God before the heat of the wilderness and tho burden of the way begin to oppress os.?Charles H. Spurgeon. The Bible.

A Mockery. To be dishonest during the week, to i defraud one's creditors, to rent prop- j erty for saloons or brothels, to water ! stock and sell the water to the public, to live in sin and then to go to church on Sunday to worship, or to pretend to worship at home, is mockery. If there is one thing the Bible declares, it is that God abhors such worship. He must be wQrshiped in truth.?Sunday-School Times. f ? - i The Cheeriest Music. i We can set our deeds to the music . of a grateful heart, and seek to round j our lives into a hymn?the melody of ! which will be recognized by all who come in contact with us^ and the ! power of which shall not be evanescent, like the voice of the singer, but perennial, like the music of the spheres.?Wm.

Kid Camrltafi. In a fashionable restaurant a pretty girl with brown eyes was seen wearing a delicate gray costume to perfection. The dress was of soft chiffon velvet, and the blouse was made in the quaint bib effect and worn over a guimpe of gathered mousseline in ivory white. This was pretty rather than surprising. The accompanying hat was both. It was a quaint little tricorne, covered with tile gray chiffon velvet. Where the crown was caught up there were white eainelias?camelins made of kid! rue sort quainy or un? kiu ienus useu admirably to the purpose, quite wonderfully expressing the texture of this always interestiug and now modish blossom. At a reception a notable hat in bright red was seen. Its brim soared high at the left, and it was trimmed with a lar^e shaded red ostrich plume, which hung off the back over the hair. The peculiar part of it was the three rows of very large red Deads tnat surrounded tne crown. Tiie | finish of these beads imitated that of a pearl. Though not absolutely new. ) many turban brims are made entirely of rows of rather large beads^ I Again the Shirt Waist* Evidently the shirt waist suit Is to be as good as ever. It is certainly trim i and smart and positively aisimguism;u as compared with skirt and waists totally unrelated to each other. In white lawn there are dainty affairs as fetching as they will be suitable. Fine tucks, Valenciennes lace, embroidery and French knots are noted in the decoration of these crisp suits. There are cape-yoke effects and there are straight up-and-down effects. The skirts show only enough trimming to keep them in countenance with the waist This Hat ! Stylish. A round black maline hat is one of the mushroom order. This hat was built up enormously in the back, tilting it far forward, and inclining it slightly to the left on the wearer's forehead. The under part of the brim on the back and sides was filled in with a profusion of primroses in many ! tones of pink and dull reds. The flowers were without foliage, and were crushed together in a mass of glowing color. Thla In Silk Tear. This is a silk year, and ribbons of great beauty are used lavishly on the new hats. As a rule they are of the softest and most pliable silks, and are put on, not in stiff bows, but folded and crushed into rosettes. Several tones of a color are used in these rosettes, giving a flower-like effect. Tucked Blouse or Shirt Waist. Dainty waists made of fine lawm and tucked in lingerie style are among the most attractive of the season and are shown in many variations. This one is eminently simple and can be laundered with ease at the same time that it ie smart and attractive. As illustrated, the material is Persian lawn, the tie and belt being of pale blue, but tbe waist is adapted both to similar thin materials and to all those suited to tucks, whether of silk, wool or cotton. The sleeves are quite novel and are tucked at the wrists where they are joined to the straight cuffs. The waist i9 made with fronts antl back, tbe back being plain, simply being drawn down in gathers at the >y May Manton. J j waist line, while the fronts are tucked I at the shoulders aud are finished with a regulation box pleat. The sleeves are in shirt waist style, finished with, openings which are cut beneath the tucks and finished invisibly. The collar consists of the stock and the tie, which are made complete and finished at the centre back. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and seveneighth yards tweuty-one, three and three-fourth yards twenty-seven, or two yards forty-four inches wide, with one^fourth yard of bias silk for tie, HOW TWO BEAUTll PEL\ Female Weakness ru^ Cures *++? + +*?? *?+? + ??+?++* < 4 J Mrs. Mable Bradford. 13 Church atreel 4 lington, Vt.., Secretary Whittier Oratorio Jety, writes: i "Peruna is certainly a wonderful me ?for the ills of women.
