A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. ALFRED H. A. MORSE. Subject: Secret of Happiness. Brooklyn, N. Y.-In the Strong Place Baptist Church the pastor, the Rev. Alfred H. A. Morse. spoke Sunday on "The Secret of Happiness." He said: There are two hidden hands. con tolled by the same intelligence, which are constantly working upon the hu man heart. And these are pain and pleasure. Man was made to be happy. If sometimes he must eat the bread of sorrow it is because, as Mr. Beecher said, "Sorrow is medicine." Joy is more divine than sorrow. and does not belong only to these passing days. but shall remain with us when all tears are dried and sorrow is swept forever from the universe. Now, joy may be divided into three classes. There is the joy of appetite, a merely animal condition. It comes from the fitting of a goodly organism into circumstances which are suited to supply its need. This is the joy that makes the child skip and play and till the home with laughter. It is the joy of the singing bird. It is sI.mply pleas ure. But we are not always children. We grow and come into the place of work and responsibility. And here also -is joy, and this we may call happiness. An earnest man finds joy in his em ployment. The lawyer and doctor and teacher enjoy their professions. The minister enjoys to preach. The ner chant enjoys his business, and the me chanic his shop in spite of all its toil. This is joy, but it is the joy of the bee that gathers the honey and storcs it away against the needs of a hungry winter. There is the joy of living. and thbere Is the joy of working. These are ali that many a man attains. But it takes a higher joy than these to fill the soul of man, as the sunlight fills the sk.:, or the ocean fills the deep. There is q joy that is known as "blessedness," which arches these as the heavens span the sea. It is the joy of love, the joy of faith, the joy of a good conscience. the joy of doing right for the sake of right, the joy of sacrifice and of service. These are so far above the others that they belong to another kingdcm whose law is obedience, whose joy is r.ght eousness, whose fellowship is with God, and whose entrance is by means of a birth from above. And into this kingdom there are certain well de:iued steps. - "Happy," said ,Tesus, "are the po)r in spirit, for theirs is the kingdor.i of heaven." And poverty of spirit is na kedness of soul before God. H e is happy who throws aside his own rags of righteousness and going to God says. "Clothe me, for I dm naked; feed me. for I am hungry; guide me, for I am ignorant; put Thine arms under me. for I am weak." As in the mountain passes of the West the traveler holds up his hands before 'the bandit, so in the presence of God's righteousness the soul must throw up its hands and sur render to God. Blessed are the poor in spirit, the consciously bankrupt in the presence of God. So long as the young er son remained in the far off land, so long as lie was satisfied with the husks from the tr'oughs of the swine, so long as he wanted nothing, the father might mourn, but there was nothing for him to do. But when that son threw him self upon his father's love and said. "I have sinned. and' you see my want," then the father could clothe and feed and kiss; place sandals upon his feet and give him the place of the son. Does a prodigal soul wish :'for happi ness? I know of no chance for him till he fling away his sin and standing in his naked need acknowvledges his pov erty of soul. The happiest moment in the prodigal's experience was when he buried his face in his father's sliculder and saidI, "I have sinned." The hap piest man at the temple gate was he who smote his breast and without so much as lifting his eyes. saidl, "God be merciful to me the sinner." Happy are they who mourn for sin. It is not enough to be ashamed of it, but there must be an actual sorrow therefor'. This does not mean to mourn for its consequences, nor for its pub licity, nor for the misery it entails. Sin is more than a blunder which one may regret. It is more than a mistake which one would try to repair. It is open and fingrant and defiant rebellion. When a man mourns this, then GAl flings above him His smile as the rain ow spanned the flood,.and hie "shall be comforted." Happy are the meek, f:or they shall inherit the earth. But wIxo are the meek? They who obey the law. Moses has passed into history as the meekest of men. But Moses bent the neck of his manhood to law, and maybe that is the reason that to this day our best in stitutions are all to be traced to 'te legislation in the wilderness. Only once did Moses lose his meeknes~s, when with an angry frown he smote the rock. That shattered his meekness into a thousand pieces, and he lost the promised land. He did not inberit the earth. .Tesus was the meekest man, and He has flung out His challenge for the world to come to Him. He was meek, for He was obedient, even to the place of death. .-Happy are the hungry, Hunger and thirst are spurs which are driven into men to drive ahead. When men are hungry they struggle, and there is hope for a nation when times are hard. But when men and nations are filled, they lie down to sleep and rise up to ~lay. When a man is idle his arm grows weak with disuse. Hunger and thirst are -spurs to activity. But thei noblest hunger is the hunger for' right ness, for that is the meaning of "right ousness." To seek God and His righteousness is to seek for God and His rightness. A man whose soul is famished with this consuming desire may well be happy, "for he shall be filled.' Happy are the merciful. But mercy does not always mean leniency. When a man is convicted of some gross crime it is no mercy to let him go to do the same crime again. Mercy sometimes exacts an awful penalty, for mercy is a prerogative of righteousness, and mercy belongs to God. The man stand ing beside God, poor in spirit, mourn ing his sin, hungry for righteousness, is merciful, and mercy comes also to him. "He shall receive mercy." Happy are the pure in heart. But what does this mean? Who of us is pure? It means to be single in pur pose.. The diamond must be of "the first water" if it is to flash the light The man must be single in purpose if he is to see God. The double-minded man can nevct see .the vision of Him whose countenance is as the sun shin ig in his strecngth; for his vision is broken and disturbed. like the waves of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. Ah' I love the sea. I've watched it on a windy dlay, and heard it weep andl~ m.canl and sob, anid breathe' ou its anger' in an awful c'urse. I've a( the waves rise buffeted and heat en, now backward, now forward, till its face was white with rage. but its reel and toss, till at last sobbing as though its heart would break, it would burst into a myriad briny tears upon the shore and pour from Its wretched bosom the seaweed and. driftwood and filth it has gathered in the journey. That wave :never saw the sun. But I've looked again. The sea was like a mirror. as clear As crystal. I could see the pearly pebbles. and there in its heart I could see the sun. The pure hearted waters lay all day long and looked into the face of the sun. Hap py. blessed are the pure, the single in heart. "for they shall see God." The man- who has a supreme desire to please God, he is pure. He may have temptation, he may stumble. he may fall, but he rises again, and he is farther ahead. I shame to confess it, but I once played football, the barbar ism of college. I've seen a man fall and slide four times as far as he could go without :falling. He's a pure man, though his clothes are covered with grime. The man who is pure in heart shall see Him that is invisible. The man who serves God shall see Him. Happy are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. God is a peacemaker. and bath recon ciled all things unto Himself. And now the man who makes peace shall tie called His son. He has passed through the school, and has learned poverty and mourning and mercy and singleness of heart, and now ne is taken into the family of God as Moses was taken into the family of Pharaoh's daughter. There is one other "blessed" spoke11 by Jesus. It is found in the compara tive form. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." It makes more foi happiness to give than to get. Whev self is the centre there is no happiness. But when self is forgotten there is hap piness at its height. When a mar knows he has nerves he cannot b( happy. Mr. Rockefeller thinks that happiness can be ruined by a sensitivc stomach. The happy man is lie whc not knowing that he has nerves oi stomach cares for the other man. This is the call to self-sacrifice. How utterly intolerable this world would b( if every one lived for himself. Happily this cannot be. and the altruisa lies at the bottom of family and social life. But there are different kinds of sacri fice. There is the sacrifice of self to self, of the lower to the higher, of tle passion to principle. There is the sac ritice of self for others, and there is the highest sacrifice, that is, of self to God. Do we talk of joy in these things? Most people think of them a a disagreeable sort of necessity. May be we see that this necessity serves a useful end. But to rejoice in them! To take up our sacrifice with a song, that seems out of the question. That is the dream of the poet. Giving is blessed, because it is most like God. He has need of noth.ng but just to give. The glory of the gospel is a happy God, but He gave His Son. He might have stripped heaven of its angels and it would not have impover ished Him. The only gift that He could feel was the gift of His Son. And that was what made Hin happy. God Himself could not be happy if H. had withholden this greatest gift. That was the law which Jesus de clared. It makes more for happiness to give than to get. The whole life of Jesus was giving, but the happiest mo ment was that last, when He said: "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit," and He had given His life for a ransom. In these simple words, then, I find the whole philosophy of salvation, of happiness and of heaven. If a man mourn for his sin, he shall be com forted and an infinite peace shall dry his tears. If a man hunger for right ness, he shall be filled. If he strive tc serve God with a single heart, he shall see Him. If He do the work of God and live at peace, he shall be called the child of God. and if he seek for chances to pour out his life in service, he shall find heaven about him or every side. And this is the secret of happiness. A Life of Self-Ab-regation. The Rev. Dr. Josiah Strong draws ,this picture of the blessedness of self sacrifice. He says: --The life of self abnegatio'1 does not attract you. A cathedral window- seen from without is dull and meaningless. But enter, and the light of Heaven, streaming through it, glorifies it with every beauty of form and color. Consecra tior to God for service may seem dull enough when seen from without; but ent r int that experience, and the light of the divine love, streaming through it, shall glorify your life with; beauty and blessedness which art Heaven's own." The Way We Do Things. Rev. F. B. Meyer says: "K~nitting needles are cheap and common enough, but on them may be wrought the fair est designs in the richest wools. S( the incidents of daily life may be com monplace in the extreme, but on then as the material. foundation we may build the unseen but everlasting fab ric of a n~oble and beautiful character.

Subject: The Yiue and the Branches, John xv., 1.12-Golden Text, John xv., S Memory Verses, 5, 6-Commentary on the Day's Lesson. I. The importance of abiding in Christ (vs. 1-5). 1. "I"-Jesus. "The true vine." The true vine is Christ; the living, abiding Christ, who repro duces Himself in every true disciple. "The husbandman." The owner of the vineyard, the original planter, posses sor and cultivator of the vine. The Saviour speaks of Himself as the sub ject of His Father's care and cultiva tion. 2. "Every branch in Me." Many are supposed to be in the vine, according to the opinions of men, who have no root in the vine. Baptized, professing, partially believing members may be found in abundance. "He taketh away." Removes, that the vine may not be damaged In reputation, or the world be imposed upon by empty pro fessors. "Beareth fruit." The fruit of the Spirit-love, joy, peace, etc. (Gal. 5:22, 23). All manner of good works. "Purgeth it!' Cleanseth and pruneth, stripping it, as the husbandman does, of whatever is rank and luxuriant-a process often painful. but no less need ful and beneficial than in the natural husbandry. "More fruit." Everything is removed from the branch which tends to divert the vital power from the production of fruit. Christ cleans eth the soul. The ob3ect of all redemp tive work is in order that the soul may bring forth more fruit. 3. "Now ye are clean." Ye are un der this discipline of pruning. Jesus comforts them with the assurance that they are bearing fruit, though they need further cleansing in order that they may bring forth more fruit. "Through the word." You are already cleansed from past sin through your acceptance of and obedience to My word. The word of God is the pruning knife. 4. "Abide in Me." Hoid fast faith and a good conscience: let no trials turn you aside from the truth. Ye shall receive every help and intience from Me that your souls can require in order to preserve them and save them to eternal life. "I in you." He abides in them as the source of spirit ual life and fruitfulness, on condition that they abide in Him by a living, obedient faith. Christ's power. knowl edge and love will fill the hearts and lives of His people. "The branch can not," etc. If the branch should be cut off an instant it would become fruit less. "No more can ye." Ye must be partakers of M1y divine nature, be wise in My wisdom, powerful in My might and pure through My holiness. 5. "Much fruit." The desired end is se cured. Teach Christ, live Christ,. abide in Christ and fruit is sure. "Without Me." Separated from Me. Without Christ we can do aothing that will please God. II. The result of not abiding in Christ (v. 6). 6. "If a man abide not in Me." Whatever man may do to merit salvation is worthless. Except he be joined to Christ by abiding faith and love, he is no more a child of God than the dead branch is a part of the living vine. "Is withered." Having no heavenly unction, no spiritual life, he cannot bring forth mature fruit. Though no mortal can discern the de fect the husbandman can. "Mien gath er them." Through the judgmemlts of God they are separated from the fruit bearing branches. "Burned." Void of spiritual life, the soul destroyed. III. Blessings that come from abid ing in Christ (vs. 7, 8). 7. "If ye abide." Keep in constant communion with Him, lean always on Him, make Him the fountain of life and strength. "My words abide." Words of promise, doctrine, precept. Keep 3My sayings and pr.cepts. "Ask what ye will." Because this indwelling of His words in them e:"'uld secure the harmony of their askings with the divine will. Such will ask in submission to His will. "Shall be done." The asking is unlimited because the will of the be liever will be in harmony with the will and purpose and love of Christ. 8. "Herein." In the abundance of the fruit. "Father glorified." It is the honor of God to have strong, vigorous, holy children, perfectly filled with His love. Christians are G1od's representa tives on earth, and therefore the larger and more perfect their success in sav ing men from sin the more God is hon ored. "So shall ye be My7 disciples." It would seem that bearing fruit is made here a test of discipleship. IV. Christ's commandment (vs. !)-12). 9. "As the Father," etc. Our Lord was conscious of being the object of the Father's infinite love; here He as serts that His love to His discip'es cor responds with the eternal Father's love to Himaself. "Abide ye" (R. V.) Be settled and fully established in Christ, being fully persuaded that nothing shall be able to separate us from His love (see Rom. S:35-39). 10. "If ye keep-ye shall abide." This is the method and secret, the stimulus, the proof of abiding in the love of Christ. The obedience here described is the outcome of love, but the power is thus gained to continue to dwell in the di vine leva', to abide in the full enjoy ment of it. 1L. "My joy might remain." Al though within a few hours of the cross Jesus speaks of His joy. "Joy-full." The joy of the Lord filling the soul. A joy so deep that no sorrow can disturb it. Such a condition of soul cannot be described; it must be experienced to be understcod. 12. "My commandment." Here we have "a commandment of mu tual love based upon His example of love." This commandment includes all others. "As I have loved you." Christ is the Only preachler who fully exempli fied in His own life the perfection He preached. The measure of our love for Iothers is His love for us.
