E Newbert. of this city, thrilled and delighted a large congregation last Sunday with an eloquent sermon, entitle*! "Reality in Religion." He took foi liis text: "The hour cometh. wliei; neither in this mountain, nor yet ii Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father The hour cometh, and now is. when tin true worshipers shall worship tin Father in spirit and truth." John iv. J LM. I'.". These are great words. I do not come, however, to interpret them. 1 quote the text because *f the spirit it breathes. I quote it as a protest j against the limitation of worship, as at j answer to the creeds of Christendom I quote it because it denies formal re ligion. and places emphasis 011 trutl and life. It does us good to come upor a thought like this, maybe half for gotten. And to find it. after bavin? been made to believe in the little words 1 of a sectarian faith, is like coming out of the fog of the lowland to the hills to find the sky clear and the sun shin ing. Or it is like following a fou ; stream to find its source in a mountait spring. Indeed, it is refreshing X< throw off our load of belief and feai and doubt, and think for an hour ol life as it is. It is inspiring tc think ot religion as without bounds or name 01 : I division, just a splendid ideal of lift and a daring thought of the eternities In passing. I think of a great picture and its poor copy. I turn from the copy, badly done, to the original. Itf setting is the quaint life and quiel scenes of Galilee- At once we tliink of the night prayer in the hills and the teaching on the mount, the centra! figure that of a man who speaks to the people of the realities qf life. But we must not linger with the picture. It if enough to catch its spirit. Life is swift, and its course is onward. Re ligion is a present reality. It is every' ; where abroad in the life of the rnoderi world. In worship? Yes. In ge>od living? Yes. Hunt for religion in the beliefs of men. and you lose it. Bind il and bound it. and you have only husks Live it. and you know it for what it is Go where life goes, go where the great world's work is done, and you will tint] 1 real religion. Is the church its audible ( voice? Then it should bear the live I coal upon its altars. It should be it | love with truth and in touch, with life It should be modern, with a message to modern man. It should lead, com : mand. advance. It should worship the i.living God. not learn ritual or mumble over relics in the sepulchre of the dead So long poorly taught, we can hardlj ; think of religion apart from the church its rites and dogmas. Baptism, for in ! stance, awaits us at the outer gate ! Shall it be the condition of our-passin; ' through? Does the kingdom of Goe ! wait for baptism? Is the rite a vita ! part of religion? Men have been bap I tized: but what of humanity? What ol I the round world? Are the unbaptized outside the gate? Baptism? Oh. go I out some summer morning, and stand uncovered in the fields. Wait reverent ly for the sunrise. Be tenderly affec tioned toward the world. Be thankfu ! for life and not afraid of death. Let 1 nature be to you a sanctuary, the world ! a holy place. Invite the dew of th( morning to wet your head: and in thai hour of stillness, reverence and joy. yor will receive a baptism, the eud of all i novitiate and probation. Or what of the ordination of a min ister of religion? Do?s the candidate stand in the apostolic line? Has he had the hands of a bishop 011 his head' Has he been consecrated by a rite which separates him from his fellows' Is his ofiice holy? Are such questions of grave importance? Or do they concern anybody in this busy world bill . the ecclesiastic? Indeed, what is a minister of religion more than a man' ur wnat can ceremony ana to a man: 1 Not by any miracle can a priest be j made a man If lie be not first a man. Fools and knaves have been ordained to the priesthood, but neither bishop's ' hands nor the most sacred lite can ! make a fool learn wisdom, or teach a clown to be serious, or put an hontst ' soul into a knave. And then there are the apostolic people. These form an exclusive set in the kingdom of God. a sort of chosen people. They have gone through the gate, and have shut the gate behind them. Nothing of ceremonial or belief has been left undone. They have taker out insurance for eternity. But whal i of humanity? What of the round world? Where stand the majority of men and women? In the winnowing of souls, why so few grains of wheat? As I try to answer, even in part, I think of those who are doing the world's work. I think of the men and women who are fighting the world's battles and winning its victories. I think ot the shoulders beneath the ponderous wheel of progress, now rolling on. now down to the hub in the mire. I think of those who are lending a hr.nd in the gigantic world struggle for tl:e supremacy of righteousness. I think of those in the vanguard who light watch-fires on the hills, who are educating, human izlng. liberating. Or I think of tlie gentle bands, the swift feet, the tender hearts, the angels of mercy and peace, in whom dwell sweetness and light. Who are they? By what name are they called? To what church, if any, do they belong? Idle the question, inip?s?!i>!e the. answer/ Sufficient is it that tiiejT'stnblish a Chrfstiau civilization: No. not an exclusive "set, not a small division of humanity, but those lovers and comrades and workers "who i walk together, constitute the kingdom i of flod. If this be not so, woe unto the world, hopeless our human lot! Humanity has made many experiments, and from failure learned wisdom. All that the ecclesiastic would to-day teach has been tried, and it has failed. At least for 1000 years the religion of dogma and ceremonial ruled the world. These ten centuries are distinguishable by the supremacy of a biind faith. For 1000 years men knelt to the ecclesiastic, and in death turned to liira as the arbiter of their eternal destiny. I do not forget that this absolutism of the church forbade progress. I do not forgot that it made scholarship a dangerous calling, that it set a price on high intelligence, that it stamped every new thought as heresy, that it burned the thinker and hated the truth. Aud all this was done in tbu uam* of religion. It was done in lefense of the faith. It was done for holy church and God. The experiment, however, was a failure. The absolutism of the church was checked. Humanity broke the fetters that bound ! it to little things, and the awakening, wondering world started for freedom* We boast a modern age. we talk of democracy, we proclaim the rights of men, because, lu the bitter conflict, I medinevalism lost. It lost in art; it lost in literature; it lost in science: it lost in polities; it lost in religion. The triumph was not of a party; it was a triumph for humanity. The destiny of the round world was involved. The Old World principle was hurled back; the New World principle appeared. Tne mediaeval ages ended, the modern began. The "worst stage of religions 1 nightmare was lifted from the mind | ^ > and conscience of mankind. Yet think 1? of what might have been! Think what j f might have been, had mediaevalism 1 j triumphed! Think what might have J < been, had dogmas silenced reason! j J Think what might have been, had the | j: absolutism of the church and the Old : y World principle continued supreme! \ i I^et him who easily forgets think | ' what might have been. Manhood suf' i frage and manhood religion are not 1 ideals of mediaevalism. They are ? 1 ; ideals of freemen, wrung from tyranny * ' and paid for with a great price. Only C ' the man who forgets, values as a small J ' ; thing our heritage of religious liberty, ' , , Only the man who forgets is indifferent f ! to religious progress. Only the man i i who forgets can receive unmoved the [ 1 suggestion of a revival of a dogmatic . t faith and an ecclesiastical absolutism t which ever has meant bondage, ignor- 11 ance, superstition, fear, and stagnation. Only the man who forgets can be mis- a led by the mockery of form or the il quackery of belief. Only the man who ; forgets can deny the logic of the new , learning or turn his back on reason and j experience, his face toward the past. f i As truth is above price, as liberty is " t worth its cost, as freedom is precious P . to every man. I urge on this generation l< that it forget not, neither be indifferent t? I to religious progress. In the name of ? i ! freedom, in the name of truth, I plead ? > for manhood religion, for the simple , truth, for the honest thought, for the ' f supremacy of character. I plead for f the modern learning, which emanci- v : pates the world, which crowns every f ? man a king and anoints every man a C . priest. I plead for the modern living, f ? ! sane and gladsome and wholesome. I c ? | plead for the modern age, splendid in t i aehevement, rich in promise. I plead c t for modern man. who has come so far : and done so much. I plead for the ? I modern religious idea whose support i I is the truth that makes men free * d The Infallible Hand*. t : A lady, who had been three or four j o s I years away from her childhood's home j t and settled in one of her own, was i ^ I taken seriously ill. Her mother, with ; i i all a mother's solicitude, was anxious 1 1 to be with her daughter at once, and ' hastened to her bedside. She found j t skilful physicians in attendance and a | e . trained nurse in charge; there was Is really nothing for her to do?nothing j t : that she could be permitted to do. Day n I after day she made brief, silent visits 0 to the sick room, even her presence f ^ could not be allowed long, and went |, t away powerless to aid. The minister- , . ing was in wiser, more efficient hands i than hers, and she could not be trusted v with it?would not have dared to trust 0 ? herself with it. P > "But it seems strange," she said '1 . sadly one day, "that even I, her mother, v r can only stand aside and do nothing. c , ! There never before was a time when |( - 'mother' wasn't the one to help and , . j comfort: it seems as if it ought to be so r still, and yet I would be afraid to do I anything but keep hands off and trust a 1 to a knowledge and strength that is h - greater than my own." t f It is the same in many a spiritual 1 I crisis through which we see our dear ? ? ones pass. We long to shift the bur- 0 I den. to lighten the trials, to bestow the - coveted gift; but the Great Physician holds the precious soul in His hands, 0 I the hands that will make no mistake, a : and we can only 6tand aside and trust a I Him. - f f tent to the Lord. g i The Rev. George Gilfillan, the emt- r 1 nent divine, was distinguished for his , generosity and largeness of heart. On . one occasion he met a member of his j b . church whom he had not seen at wor, ship for a long time. Reminding him d i of the fact, the minister asked what p . was wrong. f i "I did not like to come in a coat I v am ashamed of?it is so bare," an- v . swered the man. The minister instantly divested him' self of his own coat, and handed it 11 i I to his distressed parishioner. P ?! "There, my man, lot me see my coat , j every Sunday until it becomes bare, * | and then call back." ti [ The worthy divine then returned to p ! j his studies in his shirt sleeves; and his j [ I wife, observing him. asked what he had done with his coat. .

( In the British museum is a rare :utterfly, which was obtained in a v rest unusual way. Probably no oth- n ;r butterfly in any collection in the ( .vorld was taken in the same manner. 1 e On the steamship bound to Sydney, ^ S'ew South Wales, several men were n imusing themselves by shooting at a ^ mark with a revolver. Just as one ^ ran was about to shoot, he noticed i remarkably large butterfly flutter- j ng toward the ship. When it hovered ibove the deck he fired and actually j managed to hit it. The insect fell to the deck, consid- s ;rably mangled. The creature was ?o beautiful, even in its mutilated coniition. that the pieces were carefully collected and finally they reached a British entomologist, who found that fi t was a specimen of an entirely new s species, never before seen by tbe p ?cientific world. ii Paris is to use automobile garbag* t< carts in the future. ? ? |ig|ifp Coal Oil For Road Making. ^lOKk, HAVE just finished read[ ?. J{ ing a pamphlet by James J O \V. Abbott, on the use of t JR mineral oil and road improvement. .Mr. Abbott is he special npent of Rocky Mountain ikI Pacific Coast Division. Officer of ubllc Road Inquiries, Agricultural )epartuiont. His pamphlet, published a 1002, gives the results of the use for oad making in California of the coal il found In that State. At that date ts use had passed the experimental tape, being used with excellent results a more than twenty-five counties, aud ther counties preparing to use it in he coming season. The coal oil is splied in its crude state to the soil, and ts action is almost immediate, binding ogether the loose particles of soil that onstitute the road surface, whether omposed of clay, sandy loam, loose and or gravel, forming a tough straum, resembling an asphaltum roadray, and capable of sustainiug heavy ravel though of narrow tire wagons. )ne peculiarity of this road bed is that vhile the usual asphaltum road beomes softened by the heat of tl^ sun o such a degree that wagon wee'.s ut into It. yet no difficulty of this^uul xists with the surface of au *i%d oad. It remains smooth and hard liner a hot sun. The California oil has an asphaltum iase, so also lias the Texas oil. but the iis of Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana, 'olorado and Wyoming have a paraffin iase. Some experiments have been mule with these paruffiu oils to deternine their value for road making, but he experiments have not been suffliently extended or with sufficient peristency to settle their suitableness. It seems to lie settled that it is the sphaltum in the California and Texas iis that gives them their property of orming a hard surrace. ana .Mr. .\n?ott intimates that a coal oil naturally ticking in asphaltum can be supplied rith it artificially, that the gilsonites f Utah and Colorado, the asphalt deosits of Indiana, Arkansas, Indian 'erritory. and probably other localities rill all doubtless yield a product that an be combined with paraffin pctro?ums, and make^ a suitable material or road making. Careful and exhaustive experiments t Purdue University might determine ow the Indian oils could he cheaply reated so as to oxyginate and solidify, 'his would he a great boom to our arming people, for aside from the in i f the oil for road making, every farmr could at a small expense, and by lfs wn labor surround kls premises with 11 the foot walks he night need, thus dding to the comfort and health of his amily. I recently read an article which tuted the price per square yard for oil oads in California. I cannot quote the gores, as I have not the article at and, hut the cost was trifling. A cheap process for using the Iniana paraffin oil would not only benfit the farmer, but the city and village oik as well, for there are many little ralks that could be made in back ards for the people of the house which iv now neglected to be laid, because sual material for the purpose is exensive. Having in mind the suggestion of Lr. Abbott the thing now needed is hat a skilled chemist shall make exeriments toward cheaply utilizing the ndiana oil for road making, and if accessful in his efforts publish the realts with instructions for use, so plain nd practical that all can understand, o that the publication might truthfully are the designation, "Every man his w? roadmaker." My notion is that if the chemist wil! etermine a mixture with our paraffin oal oil that will harden enough for oad making or for footpaths, cheap nough to make it desirable, then It rill be manufactured and sold by the allon or barrel to those who have use or it.?Correspondence of the Indiana 'armer. ....

" * MOTHE Acual Sterility in Wom< Mothers and Childrer Many women long for a child to bless their homes, but because of some debility or displacement of the female organs they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound more successfully iddSn by any other medicine, because it Mves tone and strength to the entire female organism, curing all displaceFinents, ulceration and inflammation. A woman who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution. Is not that an incentive to prepare for a healthy maternity ? If expectant mothers would fortify themselves with 'Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for thirty years has sustained thousands of Women in this condition, there would be a great decrease in miscarriages, in suffering, and in disappointments at birth.
