THE PUL@IT. I AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON S'l DR. C. L. COCDELL. Subject : *- The Carptuter'e Son.. New York City.-Calv:ry Methodist Episcopal chuch of liarlen. through the eff'c: ivness of the patir. he Rev. I)r. Chiarles L. Goode1l. is arow ing in an u1nparalle~ed way. Last February. as the result of revival ser vices for the month of January. he broke all vity church recor(Is b a mitting.- .er!. Sunday nor, ing mnore thaIi :;.A were . ceived ira the church. :nd tiAete. added to the fifty tak in at the January com munion, m:ike r total of nicre than 400 admissions as a result of four weeks of revival services. Dr. Goodel gave this as the reason of the gre'it ingatherlina: '*There is no secret to it: any church can be stirred as ours has been if it is willing to pay the price. The price? it is consecration. prayer and hard work. All three are needed in about equal pv-ts. O,.r magnificent congregation has been moved by prayer and in turn has imoved others.' The recention of members into this church Sunday was a joyful eveInt for the ministers and me'nbers. for it placed Calvary Church at the head of Methodism :i Tint of membership. Calvary now has a fewi more than 2400 members on its roll. Since Dr. Goode!l has been at Calvary, twenty one months. ther. 1-as been a not gain of 1000 members, or about seventy five er cent. Of these new members more than 0) came on probation. The churen seats 2200 ad every Sun day night all seats are filled early. At some of the special services many chairs had to be brought in and the al tar space filled. and then scores could not tind seats. Sunday there were fif teen denominations represented by those who cane by letter. About 15(K) persons took communion In the morning. Bishop L. G. Andrews. of Brooklyn; the Rev. Dr. Frank Ma son North. of the City Mission, and Tract Society of Nr: York City, and Mr. Williams. the asbistant pastor. and officers of the church assisting. In the afternoon about 500 more were con muned. In the evening Dr. Goodell preached on "The Carpenter's Son." The text was from Matthew xiii:35: "Is this not the carpenter's son*" He said: Out of the doorways of the poor come the men who make the world rich and God walks oftener in the narrow rooms and on the creaking stairs of the little cottages than in the wide. sounding halls of the rich with armor and pictures looking down. You have seen the home of- Burns and Shaks peare; picture to yourself something as much poorer as these are meaner than the homes of the newly rich and you may call that the home of a car penter in Nazareth. They will show you the place with votive offerings and gewgaws in it. but you will say. "So!" and walk out. Find a place where a carpenter is now making an ox bow or a poor man's table and It will be like what He knew, for the men of Nazareth are like all their kin in the East; they change not in a thou sand years. I like to think that for thirty years Jesus knew the narrow .ways of a laborer. His trade He olied, a carpenter, and built Doors. where Lolks come and go, unto this hour, Not wotting how the hands which wrought their doors Unbarred Death's gate by Love's high sacrifice Tables whereon folks set their meat, and eat, Heedless of Who was "Bread of Life" and gave Such food that whosoeateth hungereth not. And, in those little lanes of Nazareth. Each morn His holy feet would come and go While He bore planks and beams, whose back must bear The cruel cross. And, then, at evening's fall, Resting from labor. with those patient feet Deep mn white wood dust, and the long curled shreds Shorn by His plane-He would turn inno cent eyes Gazing far past the sunset to that world He came from, and must go to; nigh to Him Nihunto us, albeit we see it not. Wereof Life is the curtain, and mute Death Herald and Doorkeeper.I Nazareth was a town in which to talk with God. The great plain before it had felt His thunderous foot. There was Carmel. where Elijah talked with God, in plain sight. Ti'ere was Jiezreel of Ahab and Jezebel. There was Eu dor and Saul and the witch. There was Tabor, lone and majestic. near at hand, and Hermon far to the north. cloud-capped and snow-peaked, while 'to the East. hidden behind a dozen miles of fill and dale, was the sea of Galilee-mother of sermon and of mir acles. In Nazareth He found the il lustrations which make so large a part of His sermons. There was a great day of moil and toil before Him, and here in the cool of the morning He must store up the reserve that will t'ake Him on to awful noon at Jerusa lem. It takes a great soul to bide his time-to get ready for a great act and be patient with the training and the slow step of the years. Tolive with Go'd and in Him is the main thingt after all. HeI walked those cliffs with no one to look at Him or to wonder at Him-prayerful. masterful, patient. Was there ever a better example for ordinary people. It is good for the burning fever of life to look at Him. The world is too much with us soon and late. Our home life is low and sordid. We fret under it. There are too many little things to do. Too much of ou te and too little of outlook. What are we saying? Lcok at Him. Poverty? Yes. Toil? Yes. Did they who saw Ilim appreciate Him? We shall see: who was it said: 'Is Diot this the arpenter's son?" and how did they say it? it was a taunt and a sneer-. You know now how He came to say, "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country." The very men whose houses H~e had built were ready to stone Tilm to death. It has often been so. The men who have built the houses that the world's thought lives in to-day were most of themi buried in ignominious graves. V'ery likely the men you serve may throw stones at you fromi the vintage :routnd where you put them, but it will be no new thing. so keep sweet about it. He could afiord to wxait. His carpenter bench would yet be Loly because lie worked at it, and the tools lHe handled would be held at Jhe price if a kilag's ransom. His is the gospel .f the mechanic.

I would have him feel that .Iesus the Carpenter was the great model. and that if Ile could fit Him celt for the conquest c the world at a carpenter's bench any laborer may feel himself surrounded with glorious hopes and his dingy little 1hop become the hi:bitat of angels. Paul stitching tents thought out those wonderiul chapters of zpiritual logic which move the world. Carey. the shoemaker, thought out the plan of giving the Bible to the Hindoos. Morrison, the last-maker. gave the gospel to China. Burrett, the blacksmith. became the most learned workman of his day. Daily humble life lived on high levels-this is the happy possibility of common men. What high discourse there must have been in that humble home when the day's work was over; what acts of af fection. what mutual confidences and holy trust! But He who made intels for the doors of Nazareth set ap also the gates of the eternal city of' God. He who made humble houses for the common people of His native town was the Artificer of the eterral home of the soul. It was not a tigure of His im agination when He pictures the unsafe foundation and the awful ruin of that. unsecure house. He had seen the tor rent rush down the chalk cliffs of Naz areth and sweep away the houses of His fellow craftsmen. Small wonder that He looked upon that ruin from the standpoint of a careful builder. But when they drove the carpenter from His bench at Nazareth He went out to build for eternity. I want to ask you to give your contract for an eternal mansion to Jesus the Carpen ter. As a wise master builder. He asks you to count the cost. Are you ready to build? Are you willing to pay for a good f'oundation and will the su >erstructure you rear be a sacred one? He will not countenance the orna mentations that hide the lack of solid consummate fraud of a life that is built on the sand. He will not build with hay and stubble. If it were a house to sell it might be out of your sight. but her me when I say it is the house you are to live in forever. If there is a flaw in ft you will find it out. If when the win's blow and the floods come it falls you will go down in the ruin. Yes erday a man gaspin. for breath said "I am almost ashamed to ask God to have mercy on me when I ignored Him for three score years." and you will feel the' same. To leave you i-n old age to the mercy of the wintry blasts would be cruel, but the man who shirks in the building of his soul's tabernacle does that for himself. Only Jesus knows how to build for eternity. The old Romans were g.'eat builders of roads and bridges, and the old Egyptians were great builders of pyramids. but I want somebody who c'an build a house for thle soul that will outlast pyramids anid stars.

IV. Topi-: Chris.s preparation for His life work. Place: Jesus was bap tized at the fords of the Jordan. called Betladara. . John preached in the wil derness; baptized in Jordan: preahcd repentance;., insisted that they bring forth fruits unto repentance: different classes came to him; a thorough refor mation -required of all: pointed to the Messiah. Jesus goes fron Nazareth. in Galilee. to the Jordan. to be baptized of John. John ehrinks :from such a step; Jesus urges it: is baptized; the heavens are opened: the Spirit descends like a dove upon Him: a voice fron heaven: ':Thou art My beloved Son." V. Topic: A study of Christ stemu tation. Place: Moun: Quarantania. a short distance northwest of Jericho. Jesus in the wilderness; fasts forty days and forty nights; afterward an hungered: tempter came to Him: asks Him to prove that He is the Son of God by turning stones into bread; J esus defeats him by quoting ScrIpture: Sa tan then asked Him to (ast Himself down from the pinnacle of the temaple: and again lie promised Jesus all the kingdoms of the world if He would fall down and worship him. Jesus re sisted Sata and angels came. VI. Topic: Laws of soul-winning. Place: Near Capernaum, on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus walking by the Sea of Galilee: the people pressed upon Him; He entered into Peter's boat and taught them while they stood on the land; commanded Simon to "launch out into the deep" for a draught; Simon said they had tolled all night and caught nothing, but he obeyed Christ's word; a great multitude of fishes inclosed; the net was breaking, and Peter beckoned to James and John to come to their as sistance; both ships were filled until they began to sink; the disciples were astonished at the m>'acle. They left all and fo~owed Christ VII. -Topic: Jesus the great Physi lan. . Place: Capernaum. Jesus is in the synagogue on the Sabbath day. Teaches the people; they are astonishei at His doctrine; an unclean spirit et-ies out: Jesus casts him out; fame spread abroad; at Peter's house; mother-In-law healed; when 'the sun was down the diseased and those possessed with dev ils were brought to Him, and He healed them all anrd cast out'the devils. VIII.- Topic: Jesus' power to forgive sns. - Place: Capernaum. Jesus is probably at Peter's house: a great crowd at the door; a paralytic brought andecarried to the roof: the reof torn up: the bed let down; Jesus saw their faith; '-Thy sins be forgiven thee;" the ~srbes reason; He speaketh blasphe mies; Jecsus answe.rs them; which is easier to say, Arise, or, TJy sins be forgiven? the cure; tag people am~azed. They glorify God. saying. "We never saw it on this fashion." They saw that none .but Cod could perform s'uch a wonderful cure and they were filled with revei-ence and fegr. The divinity of out- Lord is here fully establish-ed. IX. Topic: The Bible sec-ret of the blessed life. Place: The "-Horns of Hattin." near the centre of the west coast of the Sea of Gailee. He taught the discioles and the multitudes. Who are blessed? The poor in spirit; the mourners: the meek; the hungry and thirsty; the merciful; the pure in heart: the peacemakers; those persecuted for righteousness' sake. The promises made are all rich and full and sure. Ti-te Chrilstians are tihe salt of the earth and the light of the world. X. Topic: Chi-istian conduct-a study of the new life. Place: Same as last lesson. Christ gave instruction con erning oaths. All profano swearing is prohibited. but such oaths as are r ouired by a civil magistrate are not in luded-judicial oaths ought not to be called '-swearing." Christians are not to retaliate. but are to be controlled by the law of love. It is also gloriously possible for Chri-stians to be perfected in love. Jesus commands- us to love God with all the heart and our neigh. or as ourself. Cardinal Gibbons in Wrong Coat.
