[ BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY ;
| DR. M. W. STRYKER. PRESIDENT
OF HAMILTON COLLEGE
Sabject: Service.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Dr. M. W. Stryker,
resident of Hamilton College. Clinton,
. Y., occupied the pulpit of the Han n
Place M. E. Church in the absence
' Dr. i-ocke, the pastor. He preached
ie following sermon on "Service:"
My test is that verse in the twelfth
lapter of the epistle to the Romans in
hich the apostle says that there are
me things hard to be understood
hich the unlearned and the unstable
+r\ +haii? ntvn r?f>striir>tinn Tt is

,ue that Satan often hides in the dark
issages of God's word. It is also true
lat the hardest things to understand
e not those that the intellect has to
iravel and explain, but the things
i,at concern the deeds. For my part,
jhoever else may have found it hard,
have not found the ninth chapter of
omans as hard as the twelfth. Even
I did not do it very well it was easier
think straight than it is to be good,
is a wonderful thing that, after all
lese mighty, reverberating words, that
arch the very heights and depths of
ie plan of God that make this letter
compact up to this point, it all broadis
out in the most natural fashion
to administrative matters. I notice
lat the thing about the twelfth chapr
is that it does not say anything
jout what we must not do. It is
ways true that if you get light in
trkness will go out. The way to keep
ir hearts empty of evil is to fill them
if to the brim with good. We do not
t the darkness out of this room with
broom, but with a match or a spark,
r. Thomas Chalmers used to speak
>out the "expulsive power of the new
fection." To many a man who never
counted to anything the honest, pure
ve of a true woman has been an in
tntive to him to make something of
mself for her sake; au<l -whenever the
ve of God comes into the human
iart it drives out evil and seeks to
othe itself with living and loyal ac)ji;
and if there is aDy one who thinks
e deed is easy and the doctrine hard,
at is not my experience.
I(Tvant to speak to-night upon this
leicial admonition to service -which
jlul says is reasonable. God does
>t ask anything that is not rational,
ijristianity and Christian living can
i e account of themselves. There is
>! thing so silly as to be a sinner. It
t Ikes angels weep and devils laugh
see a man trying to serve God and
nself. That man is -walking north
) d south; it is a straddle. Now Paul
, rs it is a reasonable service. He
id, try it, put it to the proof, and he
s an expert -who had tried it for
Brty years. I am going to take one
iocial line of analogy. You have
|\en heard it said of a mac of intense
ktivity that he -was a "perfect steam
gine," and that would be said more

?re what they ought to be, "a perfect
jam engine." I think there is a serjn
in that, and I am going "to try
get at it. You will help. You will
ink a great many things which I
rn't and preach a sermon to yourIves
about being perfect steam enies.
For our present purposes we
11 talk about that particular style of
>am engine, the railway locomotive,
nerica is doing a great business in
iking these, and wherever they are
Qt?Africa or South America or Asia,
ery one of them is a kind of missions'
force, a living testimony of that
rce and skill which are resident in
?e mankind. The call now is loud
d clear for Americans who shall be
)re committed to teach the world
mbood. The tide of time is rising
d sinew and muscle are called into
e service of God. This is no time for
aping or loitering.
Look out upon this world and see
w God is compressing and packing
together. If we won't take our
>spel in the missionary ship, it shall
in the warship. Somehow men are
ing to be brought together. We are
conceited lot, we Americans, but we
not like to be told so. We have a
od thing, and like te keep it. We
v of the Chinese, "shut them out:
t them aside/' And perhaps of some
Iiers, also, "Don t let tnose gooci-rorthing
Russians, Poles and Italians
ne." Bless your heart! Your great
mdfather or grandmother was noth;
but an emigrant?mine was a
itchman, at that. We are all the
ildren of immigrants; we are all iniders
on this continent. The only
aericans are not now citizens, out
e on pensions. We have stolen evrthing
they had that was in sight,
u had better not talk about that,
d's plan is to keep the races of this
rid marching and uloving. .Yet,
nehow, some cannot get it through
?ir thick heads, their gold-plated
ads, their noddles, hard with cruel
ibitions and paltry pride, that when
Scripture says, "He made of one
od all nations," it means what it
vs. If you won't learn it by peace
p will learn it by war; if you won't

rope and Asia and go there. God will
ng those people here. Let them
ne. I laugh at all this talk about
poking immigration. King Canute
;ht just as well have tried to throw
ik the waves with his mandate. In
ertain sense it is proper to say that
d is a mighty utilitarian. It is a
at time for service; we need to wake
it was nearly daylight, it is dawn,
jat things are corning. Therefore, I
bk that our churches, colleges,
lools and homes ought to engage in
manufacture of locomotives,
hat wonderful, intricate engine?
? made it? Did a baby locomotive
w up into that great machine? You
[ i'c is evolution. Evolution deSbes
the way a thing is made, but
[er made anything. The process of
king is evolution. If you ask me
[ believe God made tills world by
fcess, I say yes. That is the way He
kes everything. When He makes
[thing that can groTv He gives it
pance to grow. His plans are made
I I don't care where He began! I
|e more for where He ends. You
I it took a long while. Yes, the
ker the pattern, the larger the plan,
r steam engine is a fine instance of
Ilution. It is mac's creation and it
resents his Creator's idea and intion.
It is a wonderful epitome of
id working for an intended end; of
urpose perfected by thought. And
r bodies? They just happened?
; steam eDgine had to be made and
are an accident? A master menic
and designer, he is a mere
nee?. Do not think it. Where is
i reason? God is back of this adapon,
this mighty thing that we call
| Our purposes are the service,
t is first.
pd, second, your perfect steam en>
is made with a purpose. TJte
pad company owns it. They emr
an engineer to run it. Now in a
U it is his; it is his to use and ctfn[
but it is not his to sell. It is his
pke care of and to get as much as
Ian out of, but in no other way. But
[e takes a notion that he can run
the whole road and ignore schedule
and orders then very soon from him
will be taken even that which he
seemed to have. Now, -we do not own
our bodies?these engines. We are the
?gineers, but not the owners. My
!y is mine only in a relative sense,
am to give account for it. You say,
"May not a man do what he will with
his own?" Certainly, if you own anything.
What is the engine for? To
look at? No. for use. Is it made to
be- destroyed? If so it might just as
well be made of wood and paint or a
cliromo engine. Some men are such
they look like the real thing, but they
do not act like it. You have seen a
model engine under a glass case; that
you wind up. The wheels go. but the
ensine does not. The wheels work
easily because they don't touch the
track. I have seen some men and I
suppose there are some women, who
are wound up with keys. The wheels
buzz, but there is nothing done. There
are people who sit in a theatre, and the
tears run down their cheeks, and they
think they are good because *tbey can
i m,>? fA*? nrivJlftorft
QTV. 1 Uf%V IUI iuc
of weeping. We all know Low we
smooth ourselves when a tear comes.
We feel penitent and say, "We are
not so bad as we thought." It is a toy
engine, the wheels go, but it does not
advance. A perfect engine is meaut
to do something in the world, and so
are we if coupled to the task that God
gives us. Some people don't want to
pull, they want to be pulled. You
always see a dead engine in the middle
of a train. Which end of the train
do you like, the front or somewhere
in the middle? God give us the front,
with all its dangers and perils and
joys.
Perfect engines get hold of the track.
Orders come with lightning rapidity
to the engineer, and they must be
obeyed without question. The responsibility
for the orders is not with him,
his responsibility is^to execute them.
God can run this world, but He has
put It into your hands to run yourself.
When you stop at the end of the
road you can be perfectly certain that
if the passengers are too busy to take
notice of you, you will not be forgotten
by the manager. Well, I have mixed
it. The engineer and the engine together?that
is the way ^ve are. We
are the engines? Yes. We are engi-;
neers? Yes. I said at the outset, "You
preach the sermon." I think there is
a great analogy in it. I think there
is a living parable for those who have
eyes and ears. Respoisibility? Yes,
lot's of it. But, then, who will shirk
that? Dancer? Plenty, out you are a
man. Work? Yes, but that is all you
are for. We are not made for nothing.
Covet the place. Ride with hand on
the throttle, making the best time,
within safety, that a man can make.
Ride right over the driving wheel.
There is where the best men have always
sat. Then, by and by, when this
engine is worn out, you will get a
better one.
Morbng Sabbatlcm.
Morbus Sabbaticus, or Sunday sickness,
a disease peculiar to church members.
The attack comes on suddenly
on every Sunday; no symptoms are
felt on Saturday night; the patient
sleeps well and wakes feeling well;
eats a hearty breakfast, but about
church time the attack comes on and
continues until services are over for
the morning. Then the patient feels
easy and eats a hearty dinner. In the
afternoon he feels much better, and is
able to take a walk, talk about politics,
and read the Sunday papers; he eats
a hearty supper, but about church time
he has another attack and stays at
home. He retires early, sleeps well
and wakes up Monday morning refreshed
and able to go to work, and
does not have any symptoms of the disease
until the following Sunday. The
peculiar features are as follows:
1. It always attacks members of the
church.
2 T<- npvnr m.ikes it nrmearanee ex
cept on the Sabbath.
3. The symptoms vary, but it never
interferes with the sleep or appetite.
4. It never lasts more than twentyfour
hours.
5. It geueraly attacks the head of
the family.
C. No physician is ever called.
7. It always proves fatal in the endto
the soul.
8. No remedy is known for it except
prayer.
9. Religion is the only antidote.
10. It is becoming fearfully prevalent
and is sweeping thousands every year
prematurely to destruction.
Humanity's Burden Bearer.
A Christian lady had a heavy temporal
burden. It took away her sleep
and her appetite, and there was danger
of her health breaking down under it.
One day when it seemed especially
heavy, she noticed lying on the table
near ber a little tract called "Hannah's
Faith." Attracted by the title, she
picked It up and began to read it, little
knowing that it was to create a revolution
in her whole experience. The
story was of a poor woman who had
been carried triumphantly through a
life of unusual sorrow. She was giving
the history of her life to a kind visitor
on one occasion, and at the close
the visitor said:
"O. Hannah. I do not see how you
could bear so much sorrow!"
"I did not bear it," was the quick reply;
"the Lord bore it for me."
A Hard Lesson.
Of all the lessons that humanity has
to learn in life's school, tbe hardest is
to learn to wait. Not to wait with
folded hands, that claim life's prizes
without previous effort, but, having
struggled and crowded the slow years
with trial, seeing no result such as
effort seemed to warrant?nay, perhaps
disaster instead?to stand firm at such
a crisis of existence, to preserve one's
poise and self-respect, not to lose hold
or relax effort, is greatness, whether
achieved by man or woman.?Reformed
Church Record.
The Past a Guarantee For the Future,"?
If we would reassure our restless
hearts that our future is iu the hands
of God we have but to scan our past.
Can any man that is not altogether
blind look over the way he has traversed
without surprise and awe as he
sees it marked everywhere by mysterious
footprints of the living God?

our own, and all the time we have been
on the King's highway,?J. E. McFadyen.
Onr Can and Our Will.
Men differ even more in their
amounts of will than their amounts of
can. and one's individual success or
failure is established more by his own
amount of will than his amount of can.
The practical and great consideration
is not, how much can I do, but how
much will I do of what I can??William
C. Gannett. ^
Looking For the Saviour,
Some people live looking within at
their failures. Some live looking
around at their hindrances. Some live
looking for the Saviour?they face the
sunny South.?Mark Guy Pearse.
Many would rather be in sin than
out of style.
Nexv York City?Such charming and
attractive waists as this one are greatly
in vogue both for costumes and for
separate blouses made from almost any
of the fashionable materials. In this
instance sage green messaiine satin is
combined with cream lace over chiffon,
hnt the design would be equally satisfactory
executed in any combination of
color that might be preferred and in
such pretty, soft wools as voile, chiffon,
etamine and the like. The wide chemisette
makes a special and characteristic
feature, which combines with the
deep fitted girdle most effectively, and
the elbow sleeves with their wide frills
are most graceful and attractive.
The waist is made with fronts and
back that can be either tucked or
shirred at the shoulders to form points
and are arranged over a fitted lining,
the front edges being finished with box
pleats and (he closing of the waist being
made invisibly, that of the lining
at the centre front. The sleeves are
finished with frills of race, but they
can be made longer, forming three
puffs with deep cuffs, whenever preferred.

Broderle Aiigluifte the Vogue.
Broderie Anglaise, or eyelet em- j
broidery, is still very much the thing,
and most of the al.1 over embroideries
and flouncings are of this order. The
robe patterns, too. both in linen and
batiste, are in eyelet designs. The
heavy raised embroideries are also
popular, and there is a high dot design
which is much sought for, ap
parently. How it is to be successfully
laundered is a mystery.
Organdie Lined.
Anp of thp loveliest eveninsr coats is I
of sage green oriental satin, tbe softest
and richest of weaves. It is built
with Empire tendencies, and is finished
off with cord braiding made of
gold tissue. But the beautiful part
of it is the lining. It is interesting,
too, being of sheerest, softest white
organdie, strewn with buff posies and
a wee bit of foliage. It looks both
dainty and cool.
Painted Shoes.
The great fad for more or less fancy
shoes is observable in many directions.
Not only are these colored shoes! One
white shoe (a suede oxford) has cornflowers
daintily painted on the toes.
One cannot but wonder if they will
not wash off. Certainly they have not
been fired!
V
Linen Sailor Hats.
Linen sailor hats will be popular t?
wear with linen gowns, and when the
gowns are embroidered it is the thing
to have a matching embroidery on tire
hat. Several shops make a specialty
of these exacting little requirements
and their charges are so moderate that,
unless one is an expert embroiderer, II
is better not to attempt tliem at home.
Millinery Hint*.
Elack and white millinery Is modish,
as it almost always is. A finei straw
hat in a round shape bad for trimming
a crush band of black velvet and
a pompom of pure white ostrich tips
with a large aigrette. The polo turbans
are simple enough, but they are
so undeniably bizarre that they do not

GAS AND WATER.
IS ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER?
Citizens of Large cities Say It Is?
New York, June 13.?In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was supported
by the argument that every resident
is as dependent upon a suppiy of
gas as upon a supply of good water.
It has come to pass that the day laborer
uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its

cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities, and from that to as high
as $3.00 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-alene),
and each user makes his own gas
and is independent of Gas and Electric
Companies. Acetylene is a more perfect
illuminant than the gas sold by
the big gas companies in the cities, and
the cost to the smallest user is about
the equivalent of city gas at So cents
per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in qual

If water and a solid material known is
Calcium Carbide are brought into contact,
the immediate result is the making
of this wonderful gas. The generation
of acetylebe is so simple that experience
or even apparatus is not necessary
to make it. If it is desired to
make it for practical lighting, and to
keep it for immediate use, then a small
machine called an "Acetylene Generator"
is employed. There are many responsible
concerns making acetylene
generators. In practice this gas is distributed
in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds or entire cities and
towns in the same manner as ordinary
city gas. Acetylene is the only satisfactory
means of lighting isolated
buildings located in the country or
suburbs at a distance from city gas or
electric plants.
An Ugly Customer.
j.ne giant 01 me wnoie spiaer iuimiy
is tlie "hound" or "dog" spider of Madagascar.
Its body weighs almost a
pound, and each of its eight legs is
longer and larger in diameter than the
common cedar pencil. Each of its
mandibles is three-fourths of an inch
in length and very strong.
The dog spider does not spread a net
and lie in wait for its prey, as do the
gigantic bird spiders of Ceylon, but
"follows the trail" in exact imitation
of a bound. It wnll follow a faint
scent to and fro through the weeds
and underbrush until the course is ascertained,
and then suddenly dart off
in a bee line and quickly overtnke the
lizard, rat, mole or other animal of
which it is in pursuit. It has been
known to capture and kill lizards a
foot or more in length, and Prof. Barnaby
tell us of one which pounced
upon and killed a full-grown rat.
The dog spider is said to be the only
variety among the larger species of
spiders which is absolutely non-venomous,
there being no more ganger in
its bite than there is that of a squirrel
or a rabbit.?Boston Transcript.
Noon and High Noon,
Some explanation for the confusion
in people's minds as to the right definition
of afternoon may be found in the
old confusion between noon and midday.
Noon, of course, was originally
ot 9 in tho nff-arnnrm?if the
"bull" be permitted?the liour when
tlie monks said their "Nones" or noon
song. The reason that it was put back
to 12 o'clock may lie in the fact that
the monks w>ere not allowed to eat
their dinner until after they had said
Nones; for in time they anticipated the
service, and "their dinner, by saying
Nones immediately after the midday
service, and that is probably how midday
came to be called noon. In the
old almanacs noon is generally marked
at midday and high noon as at 3.?London

The Vampire Bat.
The vampire bat is a small, winged
animal, that lives on blood sucked from
large animals. It has a large, sharp
tooth in each jaw, with which its
wounds are made, usually in Bleeping
victims. Its internal organs are adapted
to an exclusively liquid diet, Its repeated
visits may weaken dangerously

and places it^frequents certainly would
be unwholesome spots to sleep in, yet

Tit For Tat.
A 3ritisli officer, in his expense list
on Government service, put down,
"Porter, twopence." The War Office,
In a verbose letter, pointed out that
refreshments, while in the execution
of public duty, were not chargeable to
the nation. The officer replied that the
Item did not represent refreshments,
but a fee to a carrier. The Office replied:
"You should have said 'porterage.'
" The officer treasured the hint.
Next time he had occasion to take a
hackney coach lie put down in his accounts,
"Cabbage, 2 shillings."
Kail way Kate Regulation.
At the biennial convention of the
Ordtr of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously a-iopted voicing
tneir sentiments as to tr e enecr 01 proposed
railway rate legislation on the
1,300,000 railroad employes, whom they
In part represented. These resolutions
"indorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude of the heads of American railways,
who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the President on this
question." They then respectfully
point out to Congress the "Inadvisability
of legislation vesting in the hands
of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country," because
such regulation would "result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the quescion of the ability
of the railroads to stand the reduction,
especially in view of the increased
cost of their supplies and materials."
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Intere+o+A
r'rttrm-iiceirm hofniicn "tlio nrrv.
posed legislation is not in harmony
-with our idea of American jurisprudence,
inasmuch as It contemplates,
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try*, condemn and
then enforce fts decisions at the cost
of the carriers, pending appeal, -which
is manifestly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would "secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation "is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway, management and operation
which have built up the couutry
through constant improvement and development
of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among employes
in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employes obtain."
In pressing their claim against legis1
a +t/%n (iilvflrca +n tlioir inlArasts thpv
point out the fact that "the freight
rates of this country average only two
per cent, of the cost of articles tc the
consumer, thus making the freight rate
so insignificant a factor in the selling
price that numerous standard artieies
are sold at the same price in all parts
of the country."
Origin of Jack and Jill.
A writer on Norway says: "Our
familiar nursery friends Jack and Jill
are descendants of Hjuki and Bil, the
ebbing and flowing tides, the tumbling
crests of which, breaking one
over another as the waves wash the
shore, are rather aptly described in
the nursery rhyme."
The styles which will prevail in furs

THREE YEARS 'AFTER.
Eugene E. Lario, of 751 Twentieth
avenue, ticket seller in the Union sattion,
Denver, Col., says: "You are at
liberty to repeat what I a
first stated through our

summer of 1S99, for I have
had no reason in the interim
to change my opinion
of the remedy. I was

MILK CRUST ON BABY
Lost All Ills Hair?Scratched Till Blood
Kan?Gratelul Mother Tells of
His Cure by Catlcura For 75c.
"When our baby boy was three months
old he had the milk crust very badly on
his head, so that all the hair came out, and
it itched so bad he would scratch until the
blood ran. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap
and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I applied
the Cuticura and put a thin cap on his'
head, and before I had used half of tht
box it was entirely cured, his hair com*
menced to grow out nicely again, and he ha*
had no return of the trouble. (Signed) Mrs.
H. P. Holmes, Ashland, Or."

I received your kind letter and followed your
