THE TULTFIT. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. VR. NEHEMIAH BOYNTON. Subject: The Meaning of Christian Service Brooklyn. N? Y 'A large audience greeted the Rev. Dr. Nehemiah Boyn ton, the pastor-elect of the Clinton Ave nue Congregationalist Church. Sunday morning,. to leir his first sermon in his new pulpit. The subject of the sermon was: "Christian Service." The 'text was from 'Mark x:43-44: "Whoso ever would become great am(m you. shall be your minister: and whosoever would be first among you. shall be ser vant of all." Dr. Boynton said: Jesus never questioned the proposi tion that it was a fine thing to be reat. He had no small jealousies to - nurse. But Me continually empha sized the decliration that it was a iinar thing to be first. ang to His thinkinz, greatness and priniacy were not syn onymous ternis. In our glunsy English it is not easy to indieate the distinction in the text between the "minister." who aspires to be great. and the "servant of all." - yho becomes frst: it is the difference between the mere waiter, who serves with one eye on youir need. the ther on your tip. and the bodyguard. who has committed himself unreservedly to our-interests 'nd vh9 is happy alike in life or death if only. lilce the Japan ese, he c'an have the honor of serving the Emperor. So Christian service i.the first thing in the world: it is greater than the reat thing. The outstanding -haracteristic of our age has been and is the realization that the univers' is one: it is God's world. it fs Christ's world: that the -spirit is one: it is God's spirit. it is Christ's spirit: that the Christian ser -vice means nothing less or more than taking Christ's spirit out to Christ's world andinstallin; it. All that is' in volved in this mihty. conception we dlo not yet comipreliend. for "the new age stands, as yet. half built aganst the sky." but it is easy enough to see that the strnggle of the day in pres ence of the mighty and impressive changes which are transforming mod eri! -life is to match the growing world and the widening universe. with a gen uine. circumferential Christian spirit. putting the noblest Christian science in play "far as the course is found." ,Beyond this. it 1s equally evident that the supreme challenge to the church is to accept and to appropriate. faithful ly and fearlessly. all revelations and revisions. which the many sided truth of the unity of God's universe illu mines and installs, for the church will have lost her mission and her influence when she is content to be a camp fol lower trailing along in the rear of the advancing Ie--ions of the-Lord of Hosts. The peril of small conceptions of the superiority of Christian service is many timnes most imminent where His presence is leas't suspected. A-brave and aspiring- spirit will pray most ear nestly for deliveraince from this pesti lence that walketh in darkiless and destruction that wasteth at noonday. One's spiritual ability is bounded by his horizon and his service is inti mately related to his sight. The soul wvhichi has settled into the comfortable conceit that the faith has once for all been delivered to the saints, that spirit -ual ministry for to-day is but a repro duction of the type and method of yes .2. terday. may indeed be contented with its conclusion, but its ability to min ister effectively to the present day -kitigdonm of God is shorn of adequacy. Little conceptions make little Chris tians: large conceptions make large Ghristians. Dr. Peabody is voicing a ringing truthm when he declares thait a r:eat heresy of modern Christendlom is in residence in the belief that life is, a slhip composed of watertight com partments. in one of which ta e wvork. in another study, in another play ani in another worship. The great ii1 ' clusion of life, the permeating power ,of the divine spirit, the wideness ef God's mercy, the depth of His love, N the breadth of His interest, the inevit ableness of His will, the absoluteness 'of His law, these furnish a perspec -tive for an attentive spirit, in the vis ion of which the mneages; and petty are overlooked and the promised "won drous things of Thy law" gleam and glisten Iike the fila-h of the harbor light against the blackness of the night: Christian service needs the snap and stimulus of the great idea of the unity of God's world to get it in possession of its comprehensive chance, so that while we feel a kindling sympathy with the wide visioned martyr, pray ing as the flames licked his feet. 'Lord, open, Thou the King of England's eves, itL is in order for us to pray for ourselves the heroic petition. "Con sider and hear mae. 0 Lord, my' God; -lighten mine eyes," If. however, the time of Christian - service is r'elated to small conceptions, the prerogativ~e of Christian service is certainly to introduce the same to great and miasterfui ones, and to teach it to find its choicer fellowship as it does its mightier inspirationa here.' J Pilate's question. "W\hat is truthY' is pertinent to-day. Is it a mere cunming - assembling and formulation of facts's There it is a cold. inert, useless thing. Is it a glowing faith, a vital, personal, obsolute experience'- There it is warm with a divine fire and instinct with a glowing anticipation Henry Druimmond marked that day with a red letter when he ceased to ignore truth as mere p:-opositional w-is dom and begatn -to realize it as per ceptive wisdom. Hie declares that he had almost linished his college .'ourse b'efore he had any other conception of Christ ti~mn that IW was a theological 'ons5cience~ in thefi'ter'ests of thme Trin ity. But the d, eawhen the eyes of his uander'st-'ndint were opened. and he camne to know Christ. Not as aiy stract but as concrete tr'uth. Not at related to life phiikevophically by a - series of dreary propositions. but as implanted in his own life vitality by a *personal friendiship. which deepeneci with e'very trial. widened writh every experien(ce and heightened -.- th ev'ery aspiration. Then he wvas reconizing muth as a spirit that DrummnondI begatr those tireless. fearless. splendid ser' vices which miade more than one dis criminating observer declare hinm the towverinit rand outstanding Christian 01 his generation. Nor wvill the Cliiistian service whieL incar'nates the truth be long beyond thE * Quickeninig influences of sympathy. Nc -man liveth unto himself and when the mian tries to he always makes a sorry -job of his life. "I want to have somie thing to do with the material world.'' exclainied Hawthorne. when by the lone and brilliant cultivation of his hm agination hie began to feel'his isolation fromn humanity. "There is nothing so horrible," he wrote to Longfellow., "in this world :ts to have no share in its joys and sorrows," The reason why the tingers of much that is called Chris tian 'service are all thumbs is because while much is given, little is shared: Sympathy always has something to di vide. not merely something to dio. iYre boy ichte la a struggie in r-onscience between his school books and his fairy stories. It was a ;'ea:t day for him: Any boy's first strugne is: B-Iut the man in the boy won tie fight aM in order to establish himself beyond the possibility of a lapse. he threw his book of fairy stories into the brook. i's falher. a precise. un'm..z inative. dutiful soul, saw the beau tiful book floatiing :'Mvay and proeeeded to thrash his coiqouering boy for ih is wanton destruction. That is about :ll many fathers appear to know how io do ffecfively: What a wonder lihe did not spoil his boy: What a boon a lit of appreciation. of sympathy would have been to the suffering but victor ious lad le needed..bread and his ob tuse' father gave him a stone: The father could do what he thought was his iuty. but he had nothing to share wi:h his hoy. He was a monumen-al ;a:rental faiiure! . Large Christian service is always in queqt o( the joi'nt of sympathy: it makes its alliance with what is. ho inmg it to what it ought to be. and avoids the folly of iliverting the divine order: This type of helpfulness may be mea:ger in its ability to do. but i for ever finding to its unspeakable joy that it has a boundless store to divide: Sharing- sympathy is an infinitely more royal privilege th'au donating cast off -clothing. or stale food. for "if I ,bes:ow all my goods to feed the poor. hut hath not love it protiteth me nothing" Sympathy as an elective of Chris:ian service forever pushes a soul on toward' democracy. Surely one may confess with Lowell that while his tastes are with the aristocrats. his convictions are with the people and yet. like Low ell. he forever more and more pus-edi into the very heart of humanity and glory in the push. too! The preacher who -confessed to a friend that he loved to preach and who was met by the stinging. search ing question. "Do you love the men to whom you preach as well as you love to preceh':" felt the thrust of the swo-d between the joints of his harness. which sent him to his study to tall upon his knees and passionately pray that he might be delivered from his temptation to love his sermons better than lie did souls. preaching better than persons. The appeal of humlianity must outstrip that of homiitics. Christian service to-nay must he im mersed in the demoeratic spirit: its mission is to - humanity--hu;nanity as reresented by Ellis Island. also biy Clinton avenue: by Greater New York. also by the luuber cain-ps of Michigan. Every man is a son of God. Evry woman is a daughter of God. Go. tind your man. and by the shining trilth in your soul. by the sympathy in your heart. by the hum1anity in your out stretched hand. make him beIeve that von seek not his. but him. This-this alone-is Christian service: Christian service after this fashion i comes at onCee anl interp'reter. It makes a Gibraltar out of a disadyantageous position: it transforms an ordilmary,. comimonplace ability inlto a sh:ning angcl of privilege -and achievement. Everything counts: :all thn vs work to ethe'. Because the worhl is one and the kingdom one . nothing is lost. nioth ing trivial,. nothing inconsequential: It makes a man grow tall and strong and coniident to really believe tIhe constant assurance of Christian service, that Al men ignored in me This was I wrorth to God . Whose wheel the pitcher shaped. It is to such service, broad. true, sympathetic. humanitarian.

Nature may make somne fools, but THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR MAY 28. Subject: The Crucifixion, John xix., 1'-30 -Golden Text. 1 Cor. xv.. 3-Memary Verse-, 25-27 - Commentary on the Day's Lesson. I. The journey to Calvary (v. 17). 17. "Bearing His cross." All the prep arations having been made the sad pro cession started. On the way to the place of the crucifixion it is evident that Jesus became exhausted, because of what He had undergone during the night, and sank under the weight of His cross which He was carrying. The soldiers then compelled a man from Africa, Simon. of Cyrene. who was coming into the city, to assist Jesus "*Went forth.' He now goes "even un to death" (Phil. 2:S). *A skull." A bolil. round. skull-like hillock: probably the ordinary spot for executions. "Gol gotha.". Golgotha is the Hebrew word and Calvary the Latin word. I. The crucifixion (v. 1). 18. "They crucified Him." It was 9 o'clock in the morning, the -hour of the usual morning sacriice oi which Jesus. the Lamb of God, was the great Antitype. Jesus was probably nailed to the cross before it wds :aised. The feet of the sufferer were only a foot or two above the groun.d-a fact of some weight. as showing that Jesus suffered in the midst of His persecutors. It was at this time that they offered Christ "wine mingled with myrrh" with a view to producing stupefaction. He tasted it, but refused to drink, as it would ob scure the clearness of His faculties (Matt. 27:34). "Two others with Him.' The two thieves crucified with Him may have belonged to the band with Barabbas. They evidently knew some thing about Christ. One mocked, the other prayed. III. The title of the cross (vs. 19-22). 19. "Pilate wrote a title." It wias the common custom to atfix a label to the cross giving a statement- of the crime for which the person suffered. In this case Pilate Himself attended to the title. "King of the Jews." Although written by a wicked Roman ruler. probably as an expression of contempt for the Jews if not for Jesus. yet It told the exact truth-Jesus was "the King of kings." 20. "Written in He brew." For the Jews. "Greek." For the foreigners and visitors. "Latin." For the Ronlans. Power, culture and piety in their noblest forms pay hom age at the feet of Jesus. 21. "Then said." The chief priests felt that they and their nation were being insulted by the Roman governor. 22. "What I have written." The Ro man laws forbade.the sentence to be altered when once.pronounced. IV. "Christ's garments (ivided (vs. 23. 24). 23. "The soldiers." They were Romans, four in number. They probably knew nothing about Jesus, and were acting merely as execution ers. "Took Iis garments." The cloties of executed criminals were the perquisites of the soldiers on duty. 24. "Rend." Which would. of course, ruin the garment. "Cast lots." Gambling was a favorite pastime of Roman soldiers. "The Scripture." The Scripture referred to is Psa. 22:1S. This is one of ne seven Messinic Psalms. "Fulfilled." What the sol diers did was of their own free w~il, but in doing what they did they uncon sciously fulfilled the Scriptures. God does not'control free will, b-it He uses it. There were seven sayings of Christ spoken from the cross. His first say ing was a prayer for His enemies (Luke 23:34). His second saying was spoken to the dying malefactor. V. Jes'us provides for IHis mother (vs. 25-27). 2~>.. "His mother." It is generally supposed that she was a widow at this time. She was there watching her Son and suffering with Him. "Mother's sister." etc. It is un certain whether there are three or four wmen referred .to here. "Wife of Cleophas." Called also Alphaeuis. "Mary Magdalene." She was'the first to see Jesus after His r'esurrection. 25;. "'Saw His mother." He saw and eognixzed His mother anl arranged ~or her future. "'Disciple-HIe loved." This was John. the author of this gos ne!. "Woman." This was a customary torm of r.ddress and was not spoken with any lack of love. "Thy Son." Accept from Him the care and protec tion tha. a mother would expect from a son. 27. "'Thy mother." Establish ig a sympathetic bond. This was Christ's third saying from the cross. VI. The closing scene (vs. 2S-30 . 2S. "After this." From the sixth Iour (noonm there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour (3 o'clock). Toward thle cl'se of the darkness Jesus uttered Is fourth saying from the cross: "My God. My God. why hast Thou forsaken Me?" (Matt. 27:-()). "All hins-acomplished." He ha<4 the full conscilousness that His work was comieted. that the prophetic words were fulfilled, and that He haed now only to surrender His spirit to God the Father. "Fulfilled." "(Connect this clause, not with 'I thirst.' '>ut-with the first part of the verse." All that the Scriptures had foretold had beeni ac complshe'd. "I thirst." His fifth ut terance from the cross. Another evi dence of His humanity. 29. "Vinegar." Sour wine which we are told was the common drink of the R-oman soldiers. "H-yssop." The sponge was fastened on a hyssop s-talk. :30. "Rcceived the vineganr." The first drink of vinegar and gall Jesus re fused. but this, unmixed with any drug was accepted. "It is finished." The sixth saying from the cr'oss. This is one wo:'d in the Greek and has been referred t' .'as the greatest single word ever utterd . The work which Christ had come to do was now complette. Im mediately afterward camen the seventh and l::st utterance. "Father. inito Thy hand~(s I conunlend My spir'it:" "Gave up the ghost." "lHe dism'issed His spirit" lie gaveC up Hils own life. Fishing From Hcrsehack. The novel experience of fishini from "aboard"~ a horse was one of th< pleasurable incidents of the tril that fell to the lot of Mrs. Miller, say! the Salt Lake Herald. Not any ordi nary cob was this, but one which hat been trairned to go into the wate> without stirring up a whirlpool; t< top and stand perfectly still at sign from the rider, and to edge stei by step to the bank vwhen he heart the reel buzz and the rod spring badi with a jerk.

This particular horse had the busi ness down to a science. He had beer trained, his rider was told, for "fisher."
