THE REV. E. E. NEWBERT.
Subject: Reality in Religioo.
Indianapolis, Ind.?The Rev. E. E.
Newbert, of this city, thrilled and delighted
a large congregation last Sunday
with an eloquent sermon, entitled
"Reality in Religion." He took for
his test: "The hour cometh, when
neither in this mountain, nor yet in
Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
The hour cometh, and now is, when the
true worshipers shall worship the
Father in spirit and truth." John iv.,
21, 23.
These are great words. I do not
come, however, to interpret them. I
quote the text because of the spirit it
breathes. I quote it as a protest
against the limitation of worship, as an
answer to the creeds of Christendom.
I quote it because it denies formal religion,
and places emphasis on truth
and life. It does us good to come upon
a thought like this, maybe half forgotten.
And to find it, after having
been made to believe in the little words
of a sectarian faith, is like coming out
of the fog of the lowland to the hills,
to find the sky clear .md the sun shining.
Or it is like following a foul
stream to find its source in a mountain
spring. Indeed, it is refreshing to
throw off our load of belief and fear
and doubt, and think for an hour of
life as iteis. It is inspiring to think of
religion as without bounds or name or
division, just a splendid ideal of life
and a daring thought of the eternities.
In passing, I think of a great picture
and its poor copy. I mm from the
copy, badly done, to the original. Its
setting is the quaint life and quiet
Rppnes of Galilee. At once we think
'of the night prayer in the hills and the
teaching on the mount, the central
I figure that of a man who speaks to the
people of the realities of life. But we
must not linger with the picture. It is
enough to catch its spirit. Life is
swift, and its course is onward. Religion
is a present reality. It is everywhere
abroad in the life of the modern
world. In worship? Yes. In good
living? Yes. Hunt for religion in the
beliefs of men, and you lose it. Bind it
and b*und it, and you have only husks.
1 Live it, and you know it for what it is.
Go where life goes, go where the great
world's work is done, and you will find
real religion. Is the church its audible
r .voice? Then it should bear the live
) coal upon its altars. It should be in
love with truth and in touch with life.

to modern man. It should lead, command,
advance. It should worship the
living God, not learn ritual or mumble
' over relics in the sepulchre of the dead.
So long poorly taught, we can hardly
think of religion apart from the church,
its rites and dogmas. Baptism, for instance,
awaits u?? at the outer gate.
Shall it be the condition of our passing
through? Does the kingdom of God
. wait for baptism? Is the rite a vital
part of religion? Men have been baptized;
but what of humanity? What of
the round world? Are the unbaptized
outside the gate? Baptism? Ob, go
,out some summer morning, and stand
uncovered in the fields. Wait reverently
for the sunrise. Be tenderly affectioned
toward the world. Be thankful
for life and not afraid of death. Let
Mature be to you a sanctuary, the world
!& holy place. Invite the dew of the
(morning to wet your head; and in that
liour of stillness, reverence and joy, you
jwill receive a baptism, the end of all
novitiate and probation.
! Or what of the ordination of a minister
of religion? Does the candidate
stand in the apostolic line? Has he
had the hands of a bishop on his head?
;Has he been consecrated by a rite
Iwhich separates him from his fellows?
jls his office holy? Are such questions
,of grave importance? Or do they concern
anybody in this busy world but
the ecclesiastic? Indeed, what is a
minister of religion more than a man?
Or what can ceremony add to a man?
Not by any miracle can a priest be
made a man if he be not first a man.
jFools and knaves have been ordained
[to the priesthood, but neither bishop's
jhands nor the most sacred rite can
;make a fool learn wisdom, or teach a
ciowjq 10 ue serious, or put uu jiuuesa
soul into a knave.
f And then there are the apostolic people.
These form an exclusive set in
the kingdom of God, a sort of chosen
people. They have gone through the
gate, and have shut the gate behind
them. Nothing of ceremonial or belief
has been left undone. They have taken
out insurance for eternity. But what
'of humanity? "What of the round
world? Where stand the majority of
men and women? In the winnowing of
souls, why so few grains of wheat? As
I try to answer, even in part, I think
of those who are doing the world's
work. I think of the men and women
who are fighting the world's battles 1
and winning its victories. I think of
the shoulders beneath the ponderous
wheel of progress, now rolling on, now
down to the hub in the mire. I think
of those who are lending a hand in the
gigantic world struggle for the supremacy
of righteousness. I think of those
in the vanguard who light watch-fires
on the hills, who are educating, human
izuig, iiueraung. ur x uiihk 01 me
gentle hands, the srwift feet, the tender
hearts, the angels of mercy and peace,
in whom dwell sweetness and light.
Who are they? By what name are they
called? To what church, If any, do
they belong? Idle the question,'impossible
the answer. Sufficient is it
that they establish a Christian civilization.
No, not an exclusive set, not a
smaJl division of humanity, but these 1
lovers and comrades and workers who
walk together, constitute the kingdom
of God. If this be not so, woe unto the 1
world, hopeless our human lot!
Humanity has made many experiments,
and from failure learned wisdom.
All that the ecclesiastic would
to-aay teacn nas Deen tried, ana it nas
failed. At least for 1000 years the religion
of dogma and ceremonial ruled
the -world. These ten centuries are distinguishable
by the supremacy of a
blind faith. For 1000 years men knelt
to the ecclesiastic, and in death turned <
to him as the arbiter of their eternal
destiny. I do not forget that this absolutism
of the church forbade progress.
I do not forget that it made ]
scholarship a dangerous calling, that it :
set a price cn high intelligence, that it I
stamped every new thought as heresy,
that it burned the thinker and hated
the truth. And all this was done in
the name of religion. It was done in
defense of the faith. It was done for '
holy church and God. The experiment, 1
however, was a failure. The abso- 1
lutism of the church "was cheeked, i

it to little things, and the awakening, ;
wondering world started for freedom. ]
We boast a modern age, we talk of ;
democracy, we proclaim the rights of
men, because, in the bitter conflict,
mediaevalism lost. It lost in art; it
lost in literature; it lost in science; it 1
lost ip politics; it lost in religion. The 1
triumph was not of a party; it was a I
triumph for humanity. The destiny of <
the round world was involved. The t
Old World principle was hurled back; 1
jtie New World principle appeared The
mediaeval ages ended, the modern be*
?an. The worst stage of religious
nightmare "was lifted from the mind
arid conscience of mankind. Yet think

Think what might have been, had the !
absolutism of the church and the Old j
World principle continued supreme!
Let him who easily forgets thinK |
what might have been. Manhood suf- |
frage and manhood religion are not ,
ideals of mediaevalism. They are I
ideals of freemen, wrung from tyranny i
and paid for with a great price. Only i
the man who forgets, values as a small o\
thing our heritage of religious liberty, th
Only the man who forgets is indifferent j -i
to religious progress. Only the man i
who forgets can receive unmoved the
suggestion of a revival of a dogmatic
faith and an ecclesiastical absolutism j
which ever has meant bondage, ignor- I
ance, superstition, fear, and stagnation.
Only the man who forgets can be misled
by the mockery of form or the
quackery of belief. Only the man who
forgets can deny the logic of the new j
learning or turn his back on reason and I
experience, his face toward the past.
As truth is above price, as liberty is
worth its cost, as freedom is precious
to every man, I urge on this generation
that it forget not, neither be indifferent
to religious progress. In the name of
freedom, in the name of truth, I plead
for matfbood religion, for the simple
truth, for the honest thought, for the
supremacy of character. I plead for
the modern learning, which emancipates
the world, which crowns every
man a king and anoints every man a ,
priest. I plead for the modern living. i
sane and gladsome and wholesome. I
piead for the modern age. splendid in

is the truth that makes men free.

The Infallible Hands. ;
A lady, who had been three'or four a(^
years away from her childhood's home I so
and settled in one of her own, was 'r
taken seriously ill. Her mother, with j UJi
all a mother's solicitude, was anxious j
to be with her daughter at once, and j ^
hastened to her bedside. She found ! j
skilful physicians in attendance and a |.
trained nurse in charge; there was 1 J10
really nothing for her to do?nothing jfn
that she could be permitted to do. Day 1 th
after day she made brief, silent visits j ne
to the sick room, even her presence ! va
could not be allowed long, and went j |a<
away powerless to aid. The minister- J pr
ing was in wiser, more efficient hands ; u.
than hers, and she could not be trusted j
with it?would not have dared to trust j ,
herself with it. I
"But it seems strange," she said ! an
Badly one day, "that even I, her mother, | be
rton nnlr ctnnrl fmd do DOthinC. I loi
There never before was a time when fu
'mother' "wasn't the one to help and i
comfort; it seems as if it ought to be so
still, and yet I would be afraid to do ?
anything but keep hauds off and trust
to a knowledge and strength that is
greater than my own."
It is the same in many a spiritual
crisis through which we see our dear
ones pass. We long to shift the burden,
to lighten the trials, to bestow the
coveted gift; but the Great Physician
holds the precious soul in His hands,
the hands that will make no mistake,
and we can only stand aside and trust
Him.
Lent to the Lord.
The Rev. George Gilfillan, the eminent
divine, was distinguished for hie
generosity and largeness of heart. On
one occasion he met a member of his
church whom he had not seen at worship
for a long time. Reminding him
of the fact, the minister asked what
was wrong.
"I did not like to come in a coat 1
am ashamed of?it is so bare," answered
the man.
The minister instantly divested himself
of his own coat, and handed it
to his distressed-parishioner.
"There, my man. let me see my coal
every Sunday until it becomes bare,
and then call back."
The worthy divine then returned to
his studies in his shirt sleeves; and his
wife, observing him, asked what he
had done with his coat.
"I have just lent it to the Lord!" was
Gilfillan's noble answer.
The Correct Copy.
A boy in a printing office was given
a list of Scripture questions and answerts
to set up in print. While at
work he asked the foreman if he should
follow "the copy;" that is, set up the
type just as it was written.
"Certainly," said the foreman. "Why
not?"
The boy replied: "Because this copy :
is not iike the Bible."
"How do you know that?"
"Why, I learned some of these Terses
in Sabbath-school, and I know that twc
of them are not like the Bible."
"Well, then, do not follow 'copy,' but
set them up as they are in the Bible."
The boy took the Bible and made it
his copy, guide and pattern. The ba
words of God fell into good ground ov
when he learned those verses in school wl
and did not forget them. 6)e

Fixing Railroad Rates.
Making railroad rates is like playing
a game of checkers or chess. Communities!
to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every possible
move is studied for its effect on the
general result by skilled traffic managers.
A false .move in the making of
freight rates may mean the ruin of a
city, of a gr^at manufacturing interest,
of an agricultural community. Railroads
strive to build ap all these so
that each may have an equal chance in
the sharp competition of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are the railroads
that in oider to build up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictate rates.
Rate making has been a matter of development;
of mutual concessions for
mutual benefit. That 2s why the railroads
of the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower
in this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated railways
o:f Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

Actual Sterility in Worn
Mothers and Childrei
Many women long for a child to bless
their homes, but because of some debility
or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity ia
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displacements,
ulceration and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity ?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pinkham
demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.

Milwaukee Business Woman's Association,
of 614 Grove Street, Milwaukee,
