' A SEEMON FOE SUNDAY AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED "TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS." I j XIle Rev. George P. Eckman Differentiate* Between Enticement to Evil and Temptation hi the Sense of Providential Trial ?Taking Account of Heredity. New York City.?The Eev. George 1'. Eekman, pastor of St. Paul's M. E. Church, preached Sunday morning on "'Trials ana Temptations." He took his text from James i: 12: "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love , Him." Mr. Eekman 6aid: The beatitude chosen for our text stands 1 central to the discussion of temptation which James pursues in this chapter. The ; subject is considered under two aspects. The writer begins with temptation in the I 6ense of providential trial, and concludes 1 with temptation in the sense of seduction j to evil. The one may be understood as proceeding from God, though it is permitted by Him In the process of human discipline. The one is hailed as an occasion of good. The other is denounced as tlie source of injury. Before the one the auI thor sounds a trumpet of gladness. Before the other he waves a signal of danger, j Toward the one we should assume an attiJ tude of friendliness. Toward the other we , must maintain a bearing of hostility. To , i the test of both phases of temptation we are bound to be subjected. From the con- ; ' test with each we may return triumphant, j j Over the victorious contestant in each ! combat the author shouts, "Blessed is the ; 1 man that endureth temptation." Let us 1 turn to the apostle's discussion of this ever r important theme. Count it all ioy when ye fall into divers I temptations!" he exclaims. Observe that these are providential troubles. They are : not self-inflicted. The sutferer has fallen i into them. They are unsought, unexpected , and unwelcome. They constitute what in worldly parlance are called calamities. Yet , in the very midst of the maelstrom of misfortune the Christian is urged to rejoice with exceeding great joy. Jubilant in trouble?the thing is utterly preposterous to the mind which knows nothing higher than earthly philosophy. Shall tne merchant sing cheerily while his commercial structure is crashing in ruins about him? Shall the youth smile serenely while the fondest ambitions of his life are being ruthlessly defeated? Shall the just man be exultant while society condemns him for his piety and godless men hate him for his virtue? Yes, if he is a Christian. T u ?1? T ;? oil i/ctiJItrs wuuiu JCUijr. juci mm vuuuu iv ??? joy when he falls into these dire straits. They are deeply significant of good .to him, however difficult it may be to discover their value. What madness this seems to the worldling! A moment s reflection will prove even to the children of this world that joyousness in affliction which at the firs^ appears to be an unnatural and superhuman temper un<der the circumstances, is actually easier and more philosophic then mere resignation and fortitude. Is it not better for a man in the midst of a rushing stream to race the torrent, breast the waves arid stride up against the current than to turn his back upon the flood and try to stand erect where be is? Will he not be sure to fail to keep hie feet in the latter instance?, Will he not have immensely better chances to stem the tide in the other fashion? It is much the same with trouble. He who submits his back *o the stroke of adversity and strives to "bear a calm countenance -and a brave heart while his head is bowed with grief, will succumb more easily to the sorrows of life than he who has a thankful Kip Vin*?r\ / ?? Vto Ifnrrc to a Christian all the miseries for which he is not personally responsible are intended for his advantage. With such a fate the sufferer's face may shine, his heart may leap and he may assert himself with wondrous aggressiveness. So he will gtalk on against the current, throwing off the billows as they pile upon him, and ?houting for joy in the very mid-stream of affliction. There is something deeper in the philosophy of James, however, than the mere offering of a wise method of confronting trouble. He sees a close relation between trouble and a triumphant life. ^'Count it all joy when ye fall into divere temptations (or troubles); knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, tiiat ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." There is the formula for producing a strong and symmetrical character'. It reminds one of Paul's statement, "We glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience, and experience hope, and hope maketh not ashamed." The person of good character has no t icasion for shame, eing perfect and entire, wanting nothing. But such fulness of life can only be obtained through ministry of trial. We can. at least, measure some of the rfwta nf thio VinH nf Thp trv ing of faith, the proving of one's confidence m the invisible but eternal administration of God is not the least of these results. Who will deny that without faith in the -unseen it is imnossiDle to construct a great character? Said a distinguished teacfrer;' "Great imagination may make a great post; great logical power a great philosopher; great faculty of observation a great scientist, but nothing makes a great man 'v'it great faith." It is only email people who insist on walking by Right. The great souls dwell in the invisible. The cheap crowd call such persons dreamers. But these dreamers alone attain eminence and power. It wa? the faith of Columbne which swung the Western Hemisphere out of oblivian into light. It was the faith of Luther that rent asunder the rmpal domination and civil and religious liberty to Europe and the western nations. It was the faith of Lincoln that swept "the sum of all villainies from our borders and sent millions of ebon-faced men from chains to sovereignty." It i6 the faith of some valorous, soul that removes every mountain of difli/Mil fir cvorv /rnAl-orl nnfK solves every problem that balks the pro- j gress of truth The 1;st of faith's champions lengthens with each decade. BrighA ; I are the glories of those "who through faith 1 subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, auenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weak. ness were made strong, waxed valiant in , fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens." By faith the greatest achieve. ments of the spiritual a? well as of the ma' terial world are won. | Endurance is the test of character. Is there any permanence in its fiber? Misfortune will answer the question. A great conflagration sweeps over a city. Structures of wood are devoured with avidity. I Stone edifices resist the flames with some I success, but they, too, crumble and dissolve under the intense heat. The 6teel safe drops from the counting house and is frightfully bent and blistered. But heaps of gold coiD, now a mere molten mass, from which image and superscription have entirely faded, still reveal the quality of the J yellow metal. Society discloses in its ca I tastropheB a similar test. Adversity sweeps ' like a plague over the land. Fortunes are 1 lost in the twinkling of an eye: Business xis unsettled from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The foundations of commercial stability seem to be shattered before the advancing tide of financial ruin. Then only i the strong stand firm. The weak resort to < dissipation, to wiste of body and soul, to ] I crime. The pure become more pure. The i I wicked grow more vicious. Ana thus the t event which brings blessing to one brings < curse to another. It is all a matter of per- ( sonal character, of moral fiber. "Blessed c is the man that endureth temptation." 1 Temptation in the sense of enticement t to evil is totally different from temptation ( in the sense of providential trial. If James f is jubilant over the advantages of the lat- t ter, he is no less intense in His abhorrence a of the former. The sorrows and misfor- t tunes of life may come in the order of di- f vine providence to refine character. Yield- \ ing to sin because of allurements of evil . j must be traced to some other origin. James i boldly declares that the lault iies in the s corrupt human heart. t He will find objectors to his doctrine, c some win Jay uie cnarge 01 man a lemptn- j tion to evil upon God Himself, who made g men with a disposition to love sin and to t pursue it. But that cannot be true, if God t is good. "Every good gift nd every per- t feet gift is from above and cometh down a from the Father of lights." It is absurd to r accuse God of enticing men to wickedness, v "God cannot be tempted of evil, neither I -tempteth He any man." He would not be ( Goa if He could do this. He would be the e devil. It i? illogical tc call Hub God?eter- I rial goodness?and yet ascribe seduction to Him. .Tames holds up the lustful human heart | and contends that no external circumstances constitute in themselves alone a J seduction to sin. They mav provide the 1 occasion for wrong doing. They may make : a powerful appeal to the passions and ap- ; petites of men. But they would be utterly ' futile to influence conduct and choice but 1 fnr thp ivirrunt. lnnirinir nf hp.nrt The I trouble is this, James explains: "Every \ man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Then, when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and ' sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth | death." I JBut will you make no account of heredity? Certainly, the children of the opium 1 eater, the user of intoxicants, the glutton ous. the lascivious, will bear in their enfeebled wills, impaired nerve centres and scrofulous blood the foul taint of sinful parents. And may God pity the progeny of the vicious! But shall the victim of a ! father's sins yield weakly to the propensi- , ties lie nas mnerneu, ana piunjge aeeper into the turbid pool of iniquity? Will it i excuse a man's bloodstained hand that he received a fiery temper from his ancestry, anil in a moment of ungoverned fury murdered hi? feHow ? But will yod make no account of environment? Certainly, the generations rising j from the slums of the great cities can . scarcely be expected to come naturally to the virtues of your clean-faced, cnurcnbred boys and girls. What, then?shall the bouI make no effort to rise superior to its surroundings? Is there any environment in which allurements to evil will not exist? Do they not obtrude themselves upon the scene of public worship and private devotion? Is there exemption for any one? Surely not, but in the last r ialysis the temptation is not in tha enticements of one's environment, but in a heart that lusts after evil, and which must be denied its desires, if good character is to be made. Temptation to evil, then, ;s a matter in which our personal moral fiber is in volved, just as in trial through suffering our powers of endurance are tested. What 19 your attitude toward evil? Is it one of apology and condonement? How perilous! Is it one easy familiarity? God pity your weakness! We have a duty to ourselves. Luther used to say: "We cannot keep the birds from flying around our heads, but we can prevent them from building their nests in our hair." We may not be able to keep temptation away, but we need not let it in the house. We should not expect G8d to lock the door and keep His hand upon it. We are the doorkeeper of our own souls. Naturalists tell us that the scorpion will never use his sting, of which he is exceedingly careful, unless he can find a spot on Vip V?nrlv r?f hio ^pdrpH vinfrim anffipipnt 1v soft to admit its insertion without fear of injury. Temptation never assails the soul except at vulnerable points. Our own lusts determine the spota which the enemy strikes. But fortunately the whole burden of resisting temptation to evil does not rest with us. Divine help is promised. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God.5' Wisdom is called by a sound writer "the art of Christian conduct." That art can be acquired of Christ Himself. He was tempted in all points as we are. yet without sin. He Can and will imoart the power of successful resistance. Moreover, there is specific promise in the premises. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to men, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye zre able, but will also with the temptation make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." For him that endures therp ib the Mpiseri recompense of the crown of life. What the sculptor has -wrought is not to be shattered by the hammer of judgment. When the snip comes bounding over the stormy sea she is not to sink in view of tne harbor. But after the struggles of this human life will come the felicities and fulness of the perfect life. May the victor's wreath be ours. " Home-WrilBeii.t' How often we hear it s&ic', "It is worth while to travel to have the joy of getting home again. One never realizes how good home is tUl one has been away from it for i some time." How seldom we comprehend ; the disgrace involved in that remark! For , it is our business to understand the joys of i home. It is our business to appreciate it : while we are at home, and while our appre- I ciation can do our dear ones and the precious home life some good, and not wait till we po away or till some confused return. wbose transient emotions are ho speedily forgotten.

When he gets as dry is a gravel-pit, then he will give in. He can't help it." But right through the hottest months he never s?#med to be tempted to drink. Finally, as I was taking the men's time 3ne evening, I stopped and spoke to him. "Stowe." said I. "you used to take considerable liquor. Don't you miss it?" "Yes," said he. emphatically.

Children enjoy music long before they understand the color, scale and the laws )f harmony.

Christians without ever stopping to work 1 nit philosophically their ideas about the Bible or the church or the creed. And yet ' hey are Christians, because they are loyal ;o Christ. History tells of a young paintfrinder in the studio of Italy's peat mas.er who developed striking evidences of irtistic skill. When an enemy of the great e"- her came to the boy and urged him to '">und a sch<A>l of his own, saying that vcalth and honors and invitations to kings' palaces might be his, the youth answered n effect: "I am not ambitious to found a school or dwell in a nalnce. hut I am am >itious to catch Raphael's spirit and reproluce in myself his ideals." Now, that sim)le thought condenses in a word the esence of the Christian life. It is an ambiion to rise to the level of Christ's houghts, to feel His throb of sympathy oward the poor and weak, to abhor evil is He abhorred it, to hunger for righteousiess as He hungered for it and to walk vith our Father as Christ walked with iis.

The native begins to regard these visitors as his natural prey. Why should he work when foreigners are so easily fleeced? Accordingly he does not work?at least in the productive sense. He touts and begs and sells ornaments at three times tueir real vaiue. The victory instead of going to strength goes to weakness. Parents of the poorer class look upon a deformed or crippled child as a blessing, since its pitiful helplessness makes it a more efficient beggar. Into these cities, where such a line harvest can be gathered on such easy terms, the strong, industrious peasantry are sucked until they become idle, demor alized gamblers. And all because itbey are the most beautiful places in the world; because tbeir past is so glorious that strangers come from the ends of the earth to see its grave. Thus the modern Florentine lives like some horrible cannibal, upon his own dead. ?London Outlook. An Ancient Schooner. Shipping men are much interested in a claim by a writer in a New York magazine that the oldest ship in the world?the Vigilant, running into St. Croix, French West Indies?was built at Essex, Mass. At the rooms of the Board of Trade Secretary Love stated that the Vigilant was built In Baltimore. "In order to make sure of it." said Colonel Love, "I recently wrote to Lloyd's Register in London and received a reply stating that the Vigilant was built at Baltimore In 1790." The Vigilant is a mail schooner of forty-five tons and was long under the Stars and Stripes.?Baltimore News. Mexican Iron Mill.
