TilE JOYOUS LIFE OUR REGULAR SUNDAY SERMON A Powerful Appeal For the Higher anc Better Life We All Should Lead. Brooklyn. N. Y.-In Memorial Pres byterian Church Sunday morning the pastor, the lev. T. Calvin MeCleland. Ph.D.. preach1 on What Is Chris tianity'" The te-t was from Acts xix: 2: "And the same time there occurred no small stir alKut that way." Dr. McClelland said: The name Chr.stianity is not in the Bible. Before the religion of .esus was molded imo a creed or organized into a church it was called simply the Way. That was the name given it by its friends and its foes. After Jesus died the young men who had been Hi,; students were asked and they asked themselves - wvhat had Jesus given them? He had given them wonder ful words, but ile had done some thing more than set them to learn ing precepts to be repeated- lar rot-like. He had formed them into a circle. but tiw if': He had left them was not a society. lie had given them-not something to believe nor something to join, not a creed nor a church.- but just a way of livin. And so they called Christianity the .Way. In a little book called the Acts of the Apostles we have pen pictures of the lives of these first Christians. and these pictures show a likeness in their Way of living, and tnat Way they had is marked by four characteristic's: First. The first Christians lived as servants of Jesus. Second. Those first Christians lived by the strength of Giod. Third. Those first Christians lived in devotion to the common duties. Fourth. Those first Christians lived with men as brothers. Let us study these four points. The first Christians had a way of aiv ing as servants of .iesus. That is, they took Jesus' word as la. They cvilld themselves His "slaves;' their favor ite name for Jesus was "Ldrd;" that means simply. master. direc tor. elief. It was their pass:on for Jesus which won for then their first nicknmne. The heathen callc-d theni "Christians." that is, the party cortroliedi by Christ. 'Thiis was not the nane they gave tilem selves. Their commniOn name for thei selves was "'he Brothers." But more than their love for one another, their subjection to Christ impressed thieir pagan neighbors. and so they came to be called Christians. Why did they call Jesus? They had no theology of His person. You hunt the Acts of the Apostles fro-: begin ning to end without finding any specu lation about the second person of the Trinity, or the deity of Jesus. These speculations caine years after. At tirst Jesus was an absolute Master. and He .was a Master. because though He had been crucified, H1e had risen from the dead. Jesus had passed through death. into life; they had not expected it, and -in their exuberance over it what was there to do but to make themselves slaves of the man who had given thetm this brand new reality? "le delivered them, who, through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." And so they made that empty grave a throne and the risen Lord sat upon it. So the first characteristie of the Christian way was-it liv'ed in subjee tionl to Jestus. The second characteristic of the first Christians' way of living was, they be lieved they lived by the strength of God.I They talked about themselves as being possessed of the spirit of Cod. the soul of God. The Holy Spirit. the Holy Soul spake through their lips. mov ed in their hands, dwelt in their hearts. This was a remarkable con sciousness this consciousness of God as being concerned in ev-ery detail of being and doing. The birth of this con sciousness, the descent of this Holy Soul, is placed in the opening of the story as the most memorable thing about the way. Every individual, even the common people. who took Jesus for their Lord. felt that their life and God's were all of one piece. The work ing of this soul of God, this Holy Spirit, was felt everywhere and in everything. By His power they preached. taught. healed and ordered their outward and inward life. Every thing the first Christians said or did was said or done by the strength of the Father-God. The third characteristic of the first Christians' way of living was, they laid emphasis on the common~ duties. T.'.e immediate followvers of Christ be lieved, that their first business was to do their duty. "The fruit of thc Spirit," they said. that is, the imme diate result of this subjection to Christ and this union with the soul of God. "is love, joy. p~eac-e. long suffering. ae tleness, goodness, faith, meekness, se'lf control." The lives that they lived in subjection to Jesus and by the strength of God they lived in the midst of men. Now this characteristic of the tirst Christians' wvay of living is all the more remarkable when you rememb.er that these men were for the most part Jews. They had been brought up to believe that religion was sumumed up in exact observance of eeeksiastical f'orms. A Jew's religion consisted of the offering of certain prayers in a cer taiin way, at certain times of the da:.' of v'arious washings of the hands. of prescribed visits to the temple. with prescribed gifts for each visit, To per form these and a thousand other eere monies was to be religious. and the per'formance of these things took pre' eedence of all else, F'or instanc'e. it was grantedi by the JTews that it wtas a duty to honor fatimr and mother. but, sinc'e the comma ndmaent requirin g thi s was the fifth. it r'aniked not so high as the first. which required of man that he should sacr'ati' to God. The'refore. if one had only' elnough to buy the pro per sacrifice for' God. lie was war ratdin letting the parent starve and togi th eml offering. Now it was men brougiht upcn this idea ofre ligion whoa suddenly turned the tabiles an laid the empllhaisi on commnoni duty.

But. though they had aban doned this experiment. they conserved the fundamental principle of mutual servie(- and brotherly anion. They liv(d a way which had as its motto. "Bazr ye one another's burdens." Christiaiity meant walking in the "Road of the Loving Heart." These, then. were the characteristics of the Christian way as the first Chris tialus unide-stood it-it was a life of subjectioni to .Je-sus. a life lived by the strength of God, a life -f devotion to tduty. a life of love to brother man. Aud this is Christianity. :nd it can be nohking else-living your iia ily life at the call of duty in aillegai!ace to theC Lordship of Jesus, with a nersonal consejousness of God as a Fathier arnd fellow 1 man as brothei.

Pfits of the Packers. There has bteen a great <.e:l of dis appointment lecause t,e Garfield re port shows that tihe* profits of the pack. ing industry only amount ..o about Twi. per cent. on the volluine of imisiieis *ransaeted. There is no doubt. how (ve.r. that the report is correct. The census reports compiled by th( Governmenit in 1)O, before the igita tin regarding the "beef trust" began throw considerable light on this ques tion. It appears from the census thal lie packing industry is condicted on smaller margin of gross profit than an other industry in America. The gros margin of p[ofit of S71 flour and gris mills in Illinois. in the census year was nearly seven per cent. on the vol ime of business. The gross margin o: tifty-one wholesale slaughtering an imeat packing establishments in Illinoih was only about one-third as large. or little liore than two per cent. on the volume of business. The millers have not been accuse of being in a "trust." and coubina tions would seem impossible in a busi ness where there are several thousam I mills in the United States competint at1 ively for the flour trade, but it ap pears that the gross protits of the iuil ers are larger than the gross profits o! the p:ckers. It may turn out that th agitation regarding the packing indus try will show the samlle result as ih1 devil found in shearing the pig: "1l squeal and no wool." A nice thing about marrying mone: is everybody envies you so much mor than you do yourself. Why? Why, when buying a book, are we in fluenced by the author's name? Wby b3 an artist's if we purchase a picture? Why do wise buyers insist upon having a reliable name on nearly everything the) purchase? It is because the name attached is the safeguard of the buyer - a protectior against the Talmning off of inferior articles. Tis "name guarantee " we all look for ii the most important things we buy, anc what can be more important than oui iood Everybody knows that all intelligeni housekqeepers are very particular aibout the buying or thii-s to eat and drink. and no body realizes it more than the up-to-dati grocer. who caters to the wants ot his cas tomers. For instance. every real grocer know. the reason :or the universal popularity o JiON Cm::-. lhe leader of all packagt coffees.

Realizing this he cannot b-: hand it oul cheeriu::v when asked ic- it. Ile know. that the people acclept the packagc as guarantee of the contents. Yet there may be a few grocers left wh( do not recognize that the buyer-not tI sc!er-bas the right of choice, and they mar want to sell their loose coffee (whc knows what it is. or where it came from? instead o: LtoN COFFEE. which the cns tomer asks for, and the meiits of whiel both know. In such cases the wisest advice is "Change your dealer." It's queer how a. woman will believ everything in a historical novel an doubt an encyclopedia. FIT.tpernanently oured.

Frightened by the ringing of the village school bell, two prairie chick ens that had taken refuge in the tow er flew out as straight and swift nF an arrow to the opposite side of the street. where the leading bird with great velocity hit a heavy piate-glass stone window and, going through it like a bullet through a target, dropped dead on the floor, at a distance of twenty feet from the window, says a Wolsey, S. D., dispatch. The chicken went through the glass with sufficient force to cut a hole s:.x inches in diameter. Its companicn struck the side of the hole. making it larger and falling inside with the shattered pieces of glass. The second prairie chicken appar ently was not badly injured, for it swiftly recovered itself and escaped through the hole which it had en tered. For the Summer Couttrge.
