Whe-n he asked her the result a week later she replied that nothing had devel oped. but thag she was just as much obliged to him. "For what?" he queried. "Why, for all your kindness and trouble, of course." "Nonsense; I've done nothing; you have gained nothing," came from the former football player. "Well, you tried. anyway, and I'm obliged to you." she insisted.

CHARLES EDWARD LOCKE. bulject: The Sin of Irreverence. Brooklyn. N. Y.-Dr. Charles Edward Locke. in the Hanson Place 'M. E. Church Sunday. preached on "Popular Desecration of Sacred Vessels: or, The Sin of Irreverence." The text was from II Sanuel vi:G-7: "tzzab put forth :his. hand to the ark of God and t'ook hold of it: and God smote him there for his error." Dr. Locke said in the course of his sermon: There is danger that our greatest national sin shall be the sin of irrev erence. The ancient story of Tzzah's act of desecration in placing his hand upon the' holy ark of God is full of serious and importaut lessons which apply with solemn signiticance to our age, and our country and our indi vidual citizenship. God had given commendment to Moses to construct a sacred chest to be overlaid within and without with pure gold. It was to be surmounted with two cherubim of beaten gold. This ea:;ket was to be a receptacle for the Tables of Stone which Moses had received on the top of 'Mount Sinai, and :s beautiful ark was to be an altar of prayer which was to be kept 'in the inidst of the people. for God had said. "'There will I neet with thee." God explicitly commanded that no hand should touch the ark save the priests' and rings and poles were provided by which this sacred vessel was 'to be carried. The Philistines came up against Israel and captured the ark and held it a captive for sixty years, when David conquered Philistia and builded a suit able place for the ark, and, -vith :10.00M warriors. went down to the borders of the enemy's country and secured pos session of the precious treasure. In the excitement and joyousness of this long looked for victory, Uzzah's muortal sin of irreverence was committed, which cost him his life. In the days of prosperity, irreverence grows most insidiously. When men feel secure in their own successes they are prone to forget the commands of God. We do not depend so helpledly on our Heavenly Father when our' achievements have given us great con tidence in ourselves. National and in divIdual prosperity are at once our greatest dang:r and greatest security. In the fr2nzy of victory, as did Uzzah. so do we often commit acts of irrever ence. Sometimes it is fashionable to be ir reverent. The Philistines, in trans porting the ark. had placed it upon an oX eart. and when the Israelites cap tured the ark they followed the error of the Philistines and were returning with the ark drawn by oxen, instead of carried by the staves and,.rings. as God nad peremptorily cor manded. One act of irreverence lea to an other. And when the ark 'shook as the cart went over Nachon's threshing ficor, Uzzah heedlessly committed his serious offense. When the church al lows the world to set its fashions, sac rileges, disastrous and deplorable, speedily follow. Two other fruitful causes of irrever ence are forgetfulness and familiarity. The 'irk had been in Uzzah's house since X:is boyhood and he dared to take privileges with the sacred furniture. Familiarity sometimes breeds con telmpt. It is not discoverable that Utzah was either malicious or willful, but he was heedless, and even so ap p:trently a harmless sin as heedlessness brought upon him the awful penalty for his disobedience. The infiuence of sacred things depends upon their sa c'redness being preserved. God culd not control Israel without their respect and obedience. hence the suffering of Uzzahm. No sin is more treacherous than irreverence. It decoys its victims. It is like dry rot in the ship's timbers. Irreverence slyly gains admittan~ce where grosser evils would be easily re pulsed. Satan is constantly busy try ing to transform the sons of Levi, who serve at holy altatrs, into the sons of Eli. Bewvare of the deceptiv'e tenden cies of familiarity; when delicate re spect for holy things is lost, then de tilemnent andi eacrilege easily enter. When reverence departs character can not be retained. for character depends unon faith and in obcdience to sacred things. At Belshazzar's feaist, in the sup posed impregnable city of Babylon, it was the towering crime of irreverence in defiling the sacred vessels of the temple worship at JTerusalem that brought disaster and death to the dis solute young monarch. What are some of the holy things to-day which must be honored anld preserved? The church is a sacred vessel. Dedi cated to the service of God, it should1 not be diverted into secular uses. Je'sus drove th~e merchants out of the courts of the 'emple. and, as yet, there has been no permission granted far their return. The sons of Aaron were de voured by the strange tire which they undertook to offer at the altars of the Lord. And similar results occur to day in the consumling of holy instincts and respectful inclinations, when the churcha of God Is made a place of amusement and mrerchandizing. In chapels and parish ho)uses many things are proper which in the sanctuary lead unmistakably to irreverence. The Bible is a most sacred vessel. There is not much danger of bibliola try, but we need tc. be much on our guard lest the very availability of our Greek Book shall rause it to be less :ppreciated. Thing:; are often valued by use in proportion to the sacrifice which has beeni suffered for them. A genetlemnan plaed a copy of the Gospel of St. JTohn~ on my desk the other day, and said it cost only two cents, It was ill excellent type and neatly bound. Durinlg the days of the persecution of Diocletian, many Christians sur'remlo~red their Bihles and: the sacred utensils cf worship. and in 00lcolequence lost their faith.

I submit whether we do rnot (omanit a serious offeime against the '".-redness of' tile Book when we in ulein constant jokes and puns based upn:: the Scriptures. It cannot b'e a:'ything less than sinful sacrilege to weave the holy personages and inci den'ts of Bible history into ridicu lous story. The Bible deals with most serious questions which involve the life and death and weal and woe of the race. and do we nct violate its sacred rights when we make it the basis of our fun and laughter? This is a popular desecration. which. likeA Uzzah's sin. has been compitted so long that it has not occurred to many people that they are unintentionally undermining the very hook which they desire most to defend. The Sabbath is a sacred vessel. A divinely instituted day. for rest an (d worship and home. We cannot spare the Sabbath, but we eannot keep it if it is steadily allowed to becone more and more a social and a business day. All vices and enemies of our nation thrive best where the first day of the week is decreasingly reverenced. Dinner parties and hilarious outings arranged for the Sabbath are direct attacks upon the security of our -re public. T11e perpetuity of a1 nation depends upon the reverence of the people. When the temples are empty. the walls of the citadel crumble. When the altars of worship are ne lected. virtue and purity are do throned, a nation's protectors lose their courage and spirit of sacrifice hmnd there is speedily decline and fall. -God has put Himself on record as ready to cause those nations to "ride upon the high places of the earth" which keep His Sabbaths. History fultils in (.very century the curses of the Almighty which have rested upon those people who have destroyed His holy day. Why do we argue the onestion when he who runs may read? The human body is a sacred vessel. What a marvelous gift is the voice. with its capabilities of music and speech. - Alas. that ever its powers are profaned! Consider. too. the tastes and appetites and muscular possibili ties and vital forces. What exquisite joys God has invested in the human body! But, desecrated and disre garded, how this body may become a bndle of clashing nerves. a prison pen full of cruel and warring enmini-s. God's great apostle wro~te. "If any man defile the temple of God," as the body is called. "him shall God de stroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." The human mind-soul-is a sacred vessel. A man is not -ith "all dili gence. for out of it are the issues of life." Man is the upward looking animal. Lis mind has been created with powers of concentration and analysis. that he might find out God. When man uses his faculties against d his Creator. he has desecrated a sacred vessel. Man's logical faculty and pow- p ers of invention are often diverted 1.o the injiury instead of the elevation of men. A prostituted priating press is doing much in "v.mpire literature" to r violate the human mind. A bad book or an immodest picture is a poisoned C arrow driven into the mind. from which an absolute recovery is not pos- 3 sible. Each must revere his own mind. and shield himself from thea ten thousand inimical influences that , are intended to thrive on the spolia tion of pure natures. How empty I would be the playhouses and how bankrupt many of the publishErs if the American people would suddenly a refuse to be any longer the recep tacles for the filtl? and corruption of s many of the popular books and most ] of the nopular dramas! .Tosephus says that in the closing scenes of Jerusalem. such were .the ir reverent and sacrilegeous practices of the people. that if the Romans had not destroyed the city, some dreadfuil judgment like that which befell Sodom C would have come upon that city. Thus. i indeed, have nations and cities and individuals disappeared under the dis integrating urocesses of irreverence. As the bold- and wicked Belshazzar was, in revelry and drunkenness. die- F filing the sacred vessels of the Lord. r a white hand came out of the black o sleeve of the night, and wrote. in letters of fire, "Thou art weighed in the balances qnd art found wanting:" And that night the irreverent young 3 king was found dead in his palace. 3 The inexorable penalty of irreverence . is death! But they who bear reverently the ark of God, who obediently follow the t commands of God, who daily honor in thought and deed the Son of God, who hold in highest esteem the priv- o ileges of the sorns of God. shall enjoy peace and joy forever more, for the rewvard of reverence is life-here and hereafter! Drawn Toward the Unseen Country. 0 We have secured a propert-y right in the unseen country because dear ones have migrated thither, and it now ex-d erts a more immediate and vital influ ence upon us. An oild lady who had made full acquaintance with bereave-a ment was asked if she ever receiv'ed intimation of the presence of those whoe had parted from her, anid she replied ' that she somnetimo~s felt "a drawing." Daniel Webster, in lines of tribute to his angel child, touchingly says that s hie had expectedI to become the teacher of the boy, but that now, imjstead, the boy has becom~e the onesor, the far and the gu'.de; and the great statsman humbly beseeches the saint ed one to lead him on in the earthly path. Surely, all who have exp 4i enced a genuine sorrow by the entrance of death into the ('herished circle, says Rev. H. P. Des' y. are constrained, if they have held toi the Christian faith. to feel that Hier ven has oecome nearert and dearer, that life has become more sacred and duly muore commanding. and that the gracious ministry of the ! loved ones has beeri continued, though theC veil has.bidden. them fr'om sight.

Christian Education a National Safe our'd.-2 Chron. 17. 7-9; Deut. 31. 11-13. Education, to be complete, must t-3 of the whole man-physical, intellec tual, spiritual. An educational scheme that neglects any of these elements is imuperfett and may easily become dangerous. In this aountry there is small reas on to fear that education of the physi cl and the intellectual faculties will be overlooked. The danger is that we shall forget the culture of the spiritual nature. To avert this danger Christian schools and colleges are established. They are not rivals to the state schools, but supplement these at the point o& religious culture, while equaling them in the attention paid to the other element of education. But Christian education is not, first of all, a~ matter of schools. It is a matter of homes and churches, which shall see to It that . a-lways in the study of past events, of present nat ural phenomena, of processes neut ral, mathematical, mechanical, bio logical, there shall always be the backgrouind of deity. Education which ignores God is one of.- the strongest allies of the devil. Education is development. It may become either a blessing or a curse. The things Paul condemns, In one of the Scripture passages given for ref erence, are things which develop the power of evil In the life. Shun these things, te says. But he does not stop with mere prohibitions. He provides positive instructions. He recoin mends tl:.e doctrine which is according to godtlirsess. He urges the student's a~ttitude toward the Word. He in sists on spiritual education. There is abundant opportunity for wrong e(.ucation. Life calls to us in so many alluring ways, and promises short cuts to so many desirable places, thtat it is easy to be deceived. "Foolish and unlearned" is the apt description of these short cuts. They promise learning, but have only the show of it. They look wise, but their wisdom ii mere veneered folly. There is many a. short cut to the making of a living, but none to the ma~king of a life. When one becomes a Christian he has a new' ambition to make the most of himsel.. Educati-m that is not Christian is one-sided, and of doubtful value in the end. both to the individual and to the nation. Apaches Never Scalped Their Victims.
