A rep- niyrl sentative of Cokcsbury or of Ixnvndcsvi lie mist my not be a representative of Abbeville for (t ouuty. Therefore I take it, that a minority uent f the voters oi the county have a right to so- | any t ;et their representative. So with uli county | whlc lllccs; for instance a man might be unanl-|whal lously nominated by his local club for an of- | tiie 1 ce or representative, and perhaps could not beloi et one-tenth of the votes In the othvr clubs | veal* f the county, and then perhaps there are i puts titers, who could not get the nomination In iatio leirown eiubs for an oitlcc, when if lolt to a j runs lajority ot the voters of the county, they anil I oulil Miy he Is the mail for tin- olllcc ; so If a i their luti gets tlio unanimous vote ot hisown club t local , docs not say that he is pre-eminently the: thes lan for the office, or if hi' fails to get a noin-1 til y< lation in his own club does not say that hcihcgii Light not to have the ofiire, for there are Io-1 you ? il prejudices as well as local preferences. rlclu Thftideaof one local club bringing out a [ t!on lan and virtually binding all the other clubs veloj > support hint because he is the choice of! the lat club, is preposterous,and it is as much so' then r voters not to vote for the man of their i vary holee simply because hewnsnot brought out |selec y ills local club.

I le New Testament Is never tired of repeat-! | thl* one fuel, primitive, central andunl-;, sal, that character must organize itself mil love; ami that love is pre-eminently i genius of religion. It is a great pity that j lave l>ut one word by which to express i nglish a multitude of emotions that are;, L'ly different, even 111 kind. The appetites i! passions; the limited hut intense pnren-1 Uteetion; the sympathy of like with like; j sentiment, of benevolence which address- j self to each and every one?these arc all lent called and I hey dill'er by tliej >lc length ot the scale of the human fac-j ^s, from the base to the very top.

In that our translation employs the! 1 "charity," which has become by assocla-! and use significant of the mere single act j :tion of relief, or at any rate of the mild- j ir most attenuated form of affection in the I of ordinary kindness. then the strength and emphasis are numbly lost; and that, too, in respect to which is the critical and central element hristianity?love. The love that Is desigd in Scripture Is not the action of a sp<ifaculty; it is gcneric. It Indicates tlie atphere and the attitude of the whole soul i ird all creatures. It is sympathetic good I toward every sentiment and sensitive (ure. It is the attitudeof the soul by | ;h it pours out benediction. Itls the soul j le attitude of willing to bless.

If it be possible, toward those who inworthy. tt works by atlinlty and Iikeand approval as towa'rd knowledge and irand goodness and holiness; and it also cs toward the lack of knowledge and virmil goodness and holiness. In tiieone it is by elective affinity that we go out to- u I those who are trood, and true, and beau- ^ fwul lovely; unu, m uie uuicr, o.v me uvr-1 ? of pity that we uo outtcrtvard those who]f' the very reverse: but whether we act i' tiward toward the Inferior and the had, or! ^ ird toward those that are superior and " a that are good, the root and the fountain I. the same. They are that love which is . to be the center of true life and Christian Meter. " w, wo are taught in the Xew Testament, : Hguisedly, that this central element of pa thy anil sensitive pood will, or love to- ,, I all sentient beings, whether good or bad, J. ersally unvarying, Is the organizing cenf human character. It Is the only ccnter nd which all the faculties of a man's nacan be made to work harmoniously. It j e mainspring which carries the macliinwithout violence to any other part of , i nature?nay, strengthening every other and giving it freer play in Its own up- , riatc sphere. Thisccntral organizing dc- " jiue.it of love is Indispensable to the for- , on of a chanicter in which a man has ^ urgest use of iilinself, with the largest . r, with the largest liberty and with the | J ?st Joy to himself and toull around about | ,n Is the only creature about whom n !| tion cuu be raised us to how he shall lie v , up; lor everything below man Is already i , up. it in built up so that it does not go I ? from the path. \Vhere, as in tiie very j xtauiirials, eating and reproduction are ! ? only apparent functions of life, there is j i, rent variableness. It goes on through n itds and myriads, and never makes a I ? iiko in one of them. They are too small j ? >rmcntalion or aberration. The conotit- ( elements in them are not sutlicicnt for him: more than the simple functionsI _ h they perform.

First. Is heredity. To one is * n one talent, toanothur live, and to an-1 { r ten. The one talent In somo men Is has- j * in other men It is a powerful will; in oth- 1 it is Intellect. Of very many it is true i6 the strength of their being lies In a sin- s lirection. l'here Is little cooperation, very J jauxillartness. in the different parts of 1 r minds. Multitudes of men are, as It- 1 \ like the quarter sections In the West. { re are hundred of acres; hut there are on- 1 pht or ten clcared up and cultivatablc; all J rest Is wilderness, overgrown. ' in s originally Inherited nature has not , lgh been considered, cither from the side t ealth. or from the side of responsibility, ( om thesldeof education?especially from , ?ide of religious education: what a man t predetermined, very largely, by what his , er and mother were; and what they were , predetermined, very largely, by what t r parents were.

Upon average j1 ions education Is almost recreative. There j some strong natures that arc born with I 1 a prepense, or such a direction given to 1 ii, that they must bo that for which their ' ard bring craves. There being people 1 i. mint sing. Mazart must sing; Handel , <t slug; Ueethoven must sing; Wagner! ;t sing. It would have been Impossible to'! ce anything else outof them, with any J ngth of character, than that which they imc. There are men whose nature de-: ids that they shall be artists. There bo : <e who are born to speak, to be prophets, | creminh said he was from his mother's,' nb. There was an irresistible tendency In : in. Education, under such circumstances, I f slightly modify men's career, hut It can- J turn them aside from their destiny, from ir Inherent tendency; and yet, education | scarcely be overestimated to the vast] nber of men. Jt Is a generic law that the i cation of a child, the restriction of his de-1 s, the (dialling of his conduct, the leading : i in right, lines of development and In right hs, t he arranging his lire, takes place nl-l st Irrespective of his will; and where a!

And how shnll | >lld thut In brought up to believe In a doc* i 10 opposite to this rescuc himself from the iressioiis (hnt are made upon him by the :e of parental example and Instruction,or i .lie force of the teaching and training of j ers? lien, nftfr one gonn out from that which been developed In him by education at ne and In the schools, ahd (niters Into llfo, lety, already a mighty organization, a trendoun machine, brlhgs Its Influence to r up him; and there In no man of ordinary | ure that can lift himself upagalnst the vain forces that oxlst In the community, such aws, customs and business. They recouict a man's sentiments. They are the or-1 l/.ed elements of huhian nature, and act! in upon tho instincts from which they j originally cnmc. They represent love property, pride, self-conceit, the lower pr pensitles; hut they represent, nevertheless, many shapes, cer;iiln great primary instlnc In man; anil they In turn hear hack a puwe nil Influence upon all these things. For example, where a man has been rwiso rittly well horn, where he has been rational educated, and where he has been set. forwai upon an ordinarily prosperous path in life, I duds (thou he may not know what was tl genesis or what is the development of it) tin the whole bent of his life Is running towai the acquisition of property. The desire gain becomes the mainspring of his whole a lion. It isthat power which makes his tiiinl Ing fruitful. It Is that point, more than ar utiier, from which, every day, his will dete mines. It Is that element which carries wit It inspiration and enthusiasm. Not that tli Is exclusive, lie also has Intellectual tast lie lias some love lor the beautiful; he has a Cectlnns which very often gathcraround aboi It, ami are like vines around a cottage; In Ihe desire to gain is the inalnKprlng ofji jliaracter. rcverytning else is suojcct 10 m? ind whatever oilier thing comes up undo] joses that has to give way. No patrlotisi aui control it for any considerable length* lime. An impulse of love in ay dash over 'or a moment, but It cannot overcome tin ;entral faculty which goes oil for weeks an months and years, and, like a law of natur icls silently and acts forever, aud in the Ion un carries everything with it. Another man has moral ambition for the o [unlzing center of his character. In oth< voids; he is seeking to build himself up In tli iightof his fellow men to power, to lntlueiK tml to estimation. Although there is wit Ills a great deal of excellence, there is noli ng else that occupies his mind. That is u] >ermost In all that he thinks or does. It) lie mainspring of his life. Another man hasnspiration toward beaut; :!c has a taste for things that are elegant, an hat are beautiful to tlio imagination. Hi vholc moral nature lies in that direction. I lis oninion that is sinful which is dlscordni o. and tlmt Ik holy which Is In harmony wit his central sense of that which is cxqulslt ind tasteful. There are other elements In hi haractcr, but there H where the pulse li here I* where the k'ng sits. Other men ar trgunizcd around the center of seli-lndu ;cnco. Whatever tlie.v do Is done with dlrci ir indirect reference to their own ease and t heir personal enjoyment. Ana so It is through the ?wholc familiar ca gory. Jlere, then. Is the fact that.* when men ar iorn Into life with a large ranee of trernei lous, powerful faculties, which they have r< elvetl. which are influenced by educatloi ,nd which come under the formative Infli nee of the organizations of society, they un lertake to centralize certain faculties of thel inture, and organize around about them; an I is here that the word of the Gospel eomc n, and says. "There is no symmetrical char cter, there Is no perfect freedom and thine 1 locomplete enjoyment to any man who doc tot organize Ills character round about tli entral elementof love." That is (Jod sovci Ign In the soul, that is the legitimate an ighlful prince, and that Is the one <|iiallty t . lilch, it it hestrong and regnant, all the oth r feelings submit willingly, and find them elves not only overslaughed, but strengthen n their sphere, and able to make themselvc etter than they could be If it were not fo liis central element of love. There is but one way in which a watch cai e made to keep time. You must wind It u s a watch was meant- "to be wound up. Tun lie key backward and you destroy the ma hlnerv. l'ut any thine in the machinery an ou ruin It, Now. there is a way, as the hu nan soul Is constructed, in which you cai ,lnd it up so thatevery faculty in It will hav ree play In relation to every other; but then ?only one single Key by which you can s .Ind it up, and that is love, or the feeling b; ,'hlcb the soul carries itself in an attitude i ympathy nnd blessing toward every sent! nt creature. Tnat is the organizing conte f human character. So. then, religion whei t, com ok to a man does not come saying. "Ik cut, and go to heaven;" it does not com Imply saying, "Obey God's commands be ause It is right": what religion, as It Is so jrth Ja the New Testament, say when I omes to men is, "Ye are dead in trespHsse nd sins, and ye must be born again." I oes not come rubbing and polishing the sui ices of men's virtues; It does not clenounc irtues, and it does not discourage them; bti I, says to mankind, "Whatyou need is the rc realization of yourselves." You never eai ttaln to a proper height In human existence ou never can take your Just place in th ungeof spiritual development, you neve an' keep step In marching with God's hos xcept by a reorganization or yourself that i lullcal; and Hint reorganization consists ti lie substitution lor prUle, for the love c raise, for the desire for gain or for power, o >r any other perversion of the faculties e he soul, the great centralizing principle c jvh, and t!>o organization round that of th /hole character, ami when you have don his you are Christ's men; you have been ed eated In his school; and your life will (level p itself in every direction according to hi uminand and wish.

All that God require f a man In that he Khali fulfill In every piu f his bcliii; thin law of love, acting in tliedi lr?; and with thU permission of love. And what does religion, as it is properly 01 ani/.ed and taught, demand 7 (Hi the one side, eon version of the old rovl al type Is very largely an index of the wa; 11 which religion is taught.
