LOUIS ALBERT EANKS. } Subject: The Compassion of Clirlftt. I Brooklyn, N, Y.?Dr. Louis Albert > tanks, at one time pastor of the Han- j on Place M. E. Church, where he was c nost successful, preruhed there Sun- $ ay morning on "The Christ Who is I ."ouched With the Feeling of Our In- t irmities." The text was from He- t irews ivrlu. "We have not a high t riest which cannot be touched with t he feeling of our infirmities, but was t n all points tempted as we are. yet t eithout sin." Dr. Eanks said: 1 "The last part of this text explains c hft firct Pln-inf is in SPIlKitivf* tniifll pith us in the temptations and trials i f life because He lias personally ex- j erlenced them. Ho is not a stranger i tanding off on the ramparts of beav- \ n, looking down, though it be ever r o benevolently, upon sorrows and dif- ^ iculties which He has never person- i Uy known. (Such compassion could ot mean much to us. But Jesns t !hrist perfected Himself as the; cap- l ain of our salvation through suffering. ^ 'or three and thirty years He wore v ur flesh, and tasted our grief, and He i ? touched with the feeling of our in- t rmities. How much that ought to I lean to us. When we are in any trial t r trouble, and we need comfort, it is ( ot to the most joyous arid happy, who t ave never known what sorrow was, <3 3 whom we go for sympathy. s "There was a woman whose little <i hild very suddenly died in her arms. J t was her only child, and the v?r> t iol of her hearts She was stunned f y her grief. She could not even cry. t 'he fountain of her tears seemed to ? e frozen. She would not let anybody * ake the body of her child out of her s rms. Her husband lovingly tried to c omfort her, and sought to persuade \ er to give the child to him, but she t rould not. For hours she held the tile body close to her breast, Her race s ull of untold agony. At last, the bus t and thought of a neighbor down,the e treet who had lost a little child not s )ng before, about the same age as t heir little one. He went to her, and g )ld her of the awful sorrow that had c ome to their home and the sad con- p ition of his wife, and begged her to c ome and see if she would know how f ) comfort her. The woman came, and d uletly went in, and without a word t it down beside the poor, grief-dazed <3 lother, put her arms around her, her \ wn tears, rolling down over her i lieeks, and kissed her. and simply a aid, 'I know all about it, dear.' The I ace of the mother softened in a mo- v ji mi. jr 1.; r lcnr. JLue reiresiiuij; itruro came iu ?. er eyes; her frozen heart melted in s er bosom, and she held the body of r tie child out to her neighbor, and t aid: 'I can give it to you I could I ot give it to anyone else, for they did i ot know/ * "Some years ago I was surprised to 1 ;ceive from a very rich man in a city 1' rliere I was then pastor n check for a large sum of money which he said a e wished me to use among the poor t 1 my part of the city, and especially F mong children who were having a i ard time of it. I followed hie direc- <3 ons and gave him an account of how f ortions of it were used. Still other urns followed until I was very much i iterested in the matter, and wonsred not a little at the cause of it. * fter it had gone on for nearly a year s received a letter from him inviting ii le to take lunch with him at a hotel, e Phen we mat he said: 'I suppose you o ave wondered at my sending this t loney to you, an entire stranger to ii le. and at my being so much interest^ J I in the children of the poor in your a 2Ction of the city. But this is how it 3' omes. My father died when I was a I ery little boy. My mother was left s widow with a large family of cliil- B ren, all of whom were too small to i e of much help. She had to work ery hard, but wprk as hard as she t Duld. she was unable to procure g nough food and clothing to give us t ^mfort all the time. For two or a iree years I knew what it was to be i ungry. Many a night I have cried ( lyself to sleep in silence lest my o lother should hear and it should make f er feel bad, because I was so hungry, r could not keep back the tears, and 1 e new she had no bread to give me. r ou would scarcely believe it,' con- t nued the millionaire, 'looking at me * ow and knowing what you do of'me r iat on mor* than one occasion \ o ave run and snatched a crust of f read thrown away from a wagon a here some teamster had, eaten his a inch, and rescued it from a dog, and ii it down and ate it gratefully, and t ashed it down with a drink from v le town pump.' Then the tears came n ito the big man's eye and one rolled a ut on his cheek as he said: 'Now you ti now why I have so much sympathy o )r the poor children. It makes me t Ijiver 011 .a cold night when I think t C the boys and girls who have not P lotbing enough to keep them warm. I or I have been in their place, and 1 t now how it feels. I know how a boy h ?els when be is hungry and cold. and, t od helping me, I shall never lose a a liance to help a boy or a girl that is ii i a hard place.' "As I listened to this big-hearted ii lan there came into my mind the ii cripture we are studying. He was t< L>le to sympathize with and comfort t Ihers, because he had a fellow feel- a ig with their infirmities and their t nrows. s "So, no one could be a Savior for us c ho had not suffered. No one could o ave compassion on us in our weak- e esses who had not himself been c nipted and tried as by fire. Only a n lan who has been hungry, and has tl Dt known where to lay his head at v mes, knows how to sympathize with tl thers who are in similar experience. S nly he who has been in the wilderess with the devil, tempted on every 11 de, struggling - for his life, knows tl )w to sympathize and have true com- F ission with tempted men and women h i-day. Only He who has beon crowned is illi thorns, who has been spit upon ft. i>d whipped with the scourge, who L as fainted under His cross, knows lc ;al compassion, knows how to be t< niched with the feeling of people who p re lashed by cruel misfortune and w ho are fainting under burdens too p eavy for their shoulders. But Jesus f< hrist meets ell these requirements. H ie knows all about it. tl "The incarnation of Jesus was no a 1am. He wore our humanity com- ti letely, and there never was a more a: irfectiv sensitive human nature, one C lore tender and exquisite in human ti elings than that of Jesus Christ. As b [is been well said, Christ affected N r>ne of tliat liard indifference in a liicli some ancient philosophers vain- fi gloried. He felt as a man, and He ol rmpathizcd with the feelings of V hers. On different occasions we are iformed that He <vas troubled in nrit, that He groaned, and that He ept. The story of His agony in the w arden of Gethsemaue exhibits a ol riking picture of the sensations of oi mocent nature oppressed with an- is uish. It discovers all the conflict be- M : ' ween the drrnd of suffering on tin me band, and the sense of duty on tlu rther: the man struggling for a whil< vitli human weakness, and in the enc isinc superior and winning -victory .Ve hear the Savior 6ay. 'Father, i! t be possible, let this cup pass- frorr \le.' There is the dread of sufferin* latural on all our lips, but the nexi noment we bear Christ saying, *Nev >rtheless, not as I will, but as Thot vilt. Tby will be done.' So oui Savior was touched with the feelinj tf our infirmities. He Was a man oi iorrows, and acquainted with grief iis whole life was an experience ol he ordinary trials and provocationi hat lead to evil, and these were some imes aggravated into the most in ense temptations. He was made tlu arget of all the arrows of Satan. Bu hough He was tempted in all point! ike as we are. He came off victorious tnd withont sin. "These reflections bring ns to ap 11. - Moolll jreeiaie me IUCI uiai \junoi jerfect as a friend and Savior for ti! n the weaknesses and infirmities witt vhich our lives In this world are fa uiliar. We may comfort owselvei vith the assurance of several verj nspiring reflections. "First?Christ, being touched witl he feeling of our infirmities, wil uake a distinction between, what i! veak and what is willfully wrong ir is.^ Jesus gives us a very beautifu ilustration of this in His treatment ol he disciples, those three close friends Peter and James and John, whom H< ook with Him into the Garden ol iethsemane on the night of His be rayal. He said to them as the bur [en of sorrow pressed upon Him: 'Mj oul is exceeding sorrowful, even nnt< leath; tarry ye here and watch witt ife.' And then He went away a lit le by Himself and fell on His face ir raver, and after a time He came baci vishing the comfort of the associatioi vith His friends. And behold, thej rere all asleep. They aroused at His tep, and Jesus said to Peter, 'What ould ye not watch with Me one hour' Vatch and pray, that ye enter not intc emptation.' Then Jesus, in the ten lerness of His great heart, feeling ympathy and compassion towari hem, begins to apologize foe them ant xplain to them their weakness. "Ihf pirit indeed is williug.' He says, 'bui he flesh is weak.' Was there evei greater tenderness than that? On< an easily imagine the sarcaspi of Na loleon or Frederick the Great on ai iccasion like that. But could any hing more clearly illustrate the ten lerness of Christ in distinguishing be ween our weakness and willful wronj loing? We may be sure that Cbrisi eill never misjudge us if we are do ng the best we can. He knows il iti/1 r% nntiAnin<-AP i4- Ua ^i??1 nfllna luu it iv no iuii iaiuc le sees every battle we make, ever vhen we are defeated, and knows th< notive behind every blow that i: truck in His name. He will nevei eject or look with indifference or con empt on any effort we make to serv< lira because of our infirmities whici nake us +> blush. What we speak it vords are not the only prayers Chris iears, but every secret aspiration anr onging for goodness or for helpfu ervice is a prayer which He hear* md answers. There is no eloquence ol tuman lips that can compare with th( ?enitential tears shed in secret, spring Dg from sincere meditation upon om Luty to God, and heartfelt longing thai ve may render Him truer service. "Second?Jesus, knowing our infirm ties, will not allow us to be burdenef leavier than we are able to bear. H( vill not allow us to be tempted ii uch a way that there is no escape foi is. He will not permit us to be load d. unless we bring it on ourselves b> ur own sin, with unnecessary trou des. His measure about burdens is uuimtjiy leuuer: tjoiut: umu wie HI e that Jabor. and are heavy faden nd I will give you rest. Take mj oke upon you. and Iearu of Me; foi am meek and lowly in neart; antf y< hall find rest unto your souls. Foi <ly yoke is easy, and My burden is Ight.' "Aud in regard to temptation, wc lave the direct promise that His :race shall be sufficient for us. anc hat in" every temptation He will makt . way for our escape, so that botl n our sorrows and in our dangei Jhrist, touched with the feeling o1 ur infirmities, stands ready to com ort and defend us. We shall go nc lath so lonely or uncertain, but w< nay find marks to show us, if w< eally seek for them, that Christ has leen over the way first. Alexandei laclaren recalls the customs of pio leers in trackless lands, how wher ne friend passes through pathless orests he breaks a branch ever anc non as he goes, that those who comt fter may see the traces of his hav ng been there, and may know thai hey have not lost the trail. So wher re are journeying through the murkj ight, and the dark woods of afflictior nd sorrow, it is a precious thing tc nd here and there a broken branch r a leafy stem bent down with the read of Christ's foot and the kindlj houghtfulness of His hand as H< assed, and to remember that the patli Ic trod He has hallowed, and thai here are lingering fragrances and idden strengths in the remembrance bat He was tempted in all points like s we are, bearing grief for us. beartig grief with us. bearing grief like us. "Third?As angels comforted Jesus a His sorrows, so He will succor ui a our trials and weaknesses. How enderly Jesus prayed for us before le offered Himself upon the cross as n atonement for our sins! In that ender prayer in which He expressly tates that it was not only l'or His disiples, but for all who should believe n Him through their words to the nd of the world, and therefore inIudes us, the Savior prays: *Now I am o more in the world; but these are in tie world. Holy Father! Thine they rere, and Thou gavest them Me. Keep hern through Thine own name, anctify them through Thy truth. Leep them from the evil one, that they lay be where I am, and may behold lie glory which Thou hast given Me.' low tender Christ was to people in ard places during His earthly min;try! Recall His journey to visit lartha and Mary when their brother .nzarus was dead. Remember the indness to the poor woman who luched His garments as the crowd ressed about Him. Remember the 'omnn who brought her box of recious ointment as He sat at the jast in the house of Simon, who wet [is feet with her tears and wiped leni with the hairs of her head. In 11 ihese, and in multitudes of other ises how conspicuous the tenderness nd sensitive compassion of Jesus hrist in comforting those who are icd and troubled. Surely there could e nothing more attractive to us. othing which could more perfectly ppeal to our confidence and 1o our nth than the character and the story f Jesus our Savior as set forth in the i'ord of God."

The town authorities of Camberwell, . England, are trying a novel method of I bringing the evils of intemperance ? home to the people, by posting throughj out the place placards containing such . arguments as the following: ; No one requires alcohol in either food r or tonic. .* Alcohol weakens a man's self-conj trol while exciting his passions; hence 1 the number of crimes committed under its influence. 'r Spirits rapidly produce alcoholism, . but milder drinks, such as beer and ? cider, produce, after a time, alcoholic j poisoning with equal certainty. ; The 8in? of alcoholic parents are visited on their children; if the children ? survive infancy, they are threatened with idiocy or epilepsy, and many die from consumption. In short, alcoholism is the most terrible enemy to personal health, to family happiness, and to national prosperity. Loyal to King Bung. A leading newspaper recently stated that people drink "because they like to." In the light of the remarks made by Sir Frederisck Treves, who asserted that alcohol was a "virulent poison," this is really the only excuse the moderate drinker has for continuing to indulge in the use of stimulants. Sir Victor Horslcy says that science is dead against the use of alcohol, and seeing that nine-tenths of the crimes t committed in the United Kingdom are 1 traced to strong drink, and that 32 per cent, or rue lunacy or inis couii1 try is due to the same cause, one won' ders why people still persist in their 1 loyalty to King Bung?Belfast Wit* ness.

Why risk the influence of drink when all men know that it renders those who take it aggressive and reckless, and leads to untold mischief? A certain brand of whisky has mad-o itself notorious for years by the publication of testimonials bearing the names of ministers and other reputable persons. It has been proved that ' many of the ' testimonials" have been i forgeries. Long ago it was said in the Bible of strong drink: "Whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Positions of great public trust, positions involving the safety of life and property, require men of the highest trustworthiness, and an absolute requisite to this is the habit of perfect sobriety. By the great railroads of the United States total abstinence is required of their employes. What these railroad companies say to their employes in substance is: "You can drink if you will. Whether you drink or not is for you to determine. But you cannot drink aud work for us." , T - ' ' r Good Advice For Women.
