THE PULPIT. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. C. R. McNALLY. , Sutijcct: Spiritual Worttliip. Now York City.?Sunday morning, in the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, the pastor, the Rev. Charles R. McNally, preached on the subject, "The Spirit God and Spiritual Worship." The text was from John iv:23-24: "The hour cometh and now is -when the true -worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him." "God is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Mr. McNally said: These' words might well lead into the byways of philosophy. That, however, is an enjoyment which we do not now intend to permit ourselves to indulge in. We might with profit point out from these words that the man of old did not think of himself just as man thinks of himself to-day. He was a unit, and thought of nothing outside of his immediate environment, and of that chiefly from the point of view of its relation to his bodily needf. His mind did not grasp the thought of the beyond or the hereafter. His dead companion was not thought of as being essentially different from that which he was in life. His horse, his tools, etc., were buried with him, with the belief that in some unseen but material paradise or hunting ground he would live as he had lived, needing and using the same things. i Man does not now so view himself. He no longer thinks of himself as a unit. I-Ie is divided. His body is one thing and his mind or soul is another. Man still views himself as body and spirit. Deep within the inners of his | own nature he feels that while thefcr I are doubtless closely associated, his body is one thing and his soul quite another. This distinction did not ap1 peal to the ancient. He knew nothing of it. His was the simple, unquestioning life of a child. The religious iinpuPse, however, has .always been an integral part of human life, and has ever, in one form or another, sought to express itself. Crude though it may have been in its beginning* tiio rnnsr-innsness of God lias never been absent from the human mind. When it first nppears it seems to have been materialistic, or anthropomorphic in the grossest sense. Gradually there was the development of a tendency to look in upon himself and with this tendency man came into pos, session of the idea of an inner thought selfi Thus mind, or soul, was dis-, ting-wished from the external or material, and a conception of God became both a possibility and reality. The development of this distinction may be clearly traced in the Old Testament. For many centuries the materialistic was the dominant one, but alongside of it grew up a religion of the spirit. The former finds its highest expression in the ornate formal worship of Judaism. The religion of the law with .ill its material accompaniment was the effort of the human mind to grasp | the thought of God in the terms of the material. Within Judaism there was the develonment of the religion of the spirit. The prophets were its messengers, but the people persistently turned away from them, and from their message. The conversation of Jesus -with the woman at the wellside is interesting and instructive in many "ways. She was a woman and the strain of human nature was very marked in her life as is shown by the fact that when Jesus had her cornered and face to face with her sin she was like many who have followed her, anxious to divert the conversation from considerations of such a personal nature to a religious argument. Jesus using her own thought imparts to her the deepest lesson that has ever been uttered in the realm of religion. When the woman would have Him discujss the relative merits of. formal Judaism, or formal Samaritanism, He turned upon her the full light of divine truth and declares what the world has all been too slow to learn, that Judaism and Samaritanism are nothing, but that the religion of the spirit alone is essential religion. God is spirit, and is not to be wor! sbiped by men's hands, or any external form whatsoever. He is confined to no mountain top, no temple walls inclose Him. Immaterial and imperceptible to tlie senses, He fills all things with His being. He knows, feels, and wills. He seeks those to whom He has given a nature fashioned in His own image to be His wnrchinoi's finlv thr.sfi who have learned to know Him as tbe Infinite Mind or Supreme Spirit cnn have fellowship -with Him, and this because such worship alone corresponds with His nature. It takes the world a long time to outgrow its materialism, and to grow into the thought of Christ. The path of history has led into deep valleys and over the mountain peaks. Tbere lave been times when it seemed that the race was about to move out into a more spiritual thought of God. Under the leadership of a Paul, an Augustine, a Calvin, a Luther or a Wesley, the dawn of a brighter day seemed at hand, but from these mountain peaks the pathway has invariably led down into the low vales of the material and sordidly esrthly. We have been, indeed, we now nre. for the dawn of the brighter day has hardly appeared, in one of those materialistic swamps from which arise the miasma of sordidness,-worldliness and sin. That this is peculiarly true of America is not without cause and explanation. Never in the history of tbe world has it been given to a nation to enter into the rich heritage that has been ours. The past hundred years has been a period of discovery and development. Discovery in that A moripn nnrt thp world has hprome conscious of tlie almost inexhaustible wealth unfolded within the bosom of her lakes and rivers, her forests and her fields and her deep hidden mines. Wealth is the handmaid of comfort, of ease, of luxury and many other things, and these are sweet to the human heart. There has been a mad rush to lay hold upon these ready-to-hand sources of wealth. With feverish intensity men have given their brain and brawn to the development of these mighty resources and their labor has not been in vain. Wealth has been multiplied with a rapidity unprecedented in the world's iife. It has been a great gain. It also has entailed a great loss. It has placed material good in the forefront, while the spirit of God and the spiritual life have been */\ rt Pflnftn/1 O T?TT Tklo/tlk Thrt 1 Lt'U UL/ 41 JCV.VUUUJ J Jjtuv*.* result Las been both natural and inevitable. Honor, virtue and all tbe spiritual praces have been readily sacrificed to the insatiable greed for gain, but the handwriting of God is u;>on tbe wall. "Ee sure your sin will find you out" is an old adage, but true. Man canuot continue forever to disregard (Jod without having ultimately to reckon with Him on the basis of the deeds done, in the body. Some instrument in divine Providence will vindicate the ^iaa requirements of the spirit God nn( the spiritual life. When the finger o: God through some stalwart Nathan Ii pointed at the sinner, it matters -no whether he is a king upon his throne he must listen to the "Thou rfrt th< man," "wherefore hast thou despisec the word of the Lord to do that wbicl is evil in His sight?" and in deep co*i trition of soul he must cry out to: mercy and confess, "I have sinnet against the Lord." Not only have men as individual! been led to a false emphasis upon th< material, and to blindness toward thi spiritual, but the church herself haf become too material in the expressloi which she has sought to give to thi religious impulse. Too much of strcsi has been and is laid upon form am organization and not enough upon th< spirit. Not until the church comes again to the side of Jacob's well ant hears afresh the sweet emphasis 01 the Man of Galilee upon the essentia spirituality of God and the supremarj and priority of the spiritual can sh< ever enter into her full heritage ol divine power. It is high time thai we should have done with the be fogging and befooling effort to meei the requirements of that God who is spirit, with substitutes, that are mer< material foibles. It is the inners ol the soul that God desires and requires It is a damning folly to offer any sub stitute for that selt which God has destined for eternal fellowsfiip wxtc Himself. Goodness, not goods; char acter, not cash:" piety, not pretense sincerity, not sham; these are tbf sacrifices acceptable to that God whc is a spirit and who would be -worshiped in spirit and with reality. Another tnith is placed beyond per adventure by these words of Jesus True worship is not a matter of locality or nationality or sect. Men love tr distinguish themselves by some distinguishing mark and will congratulate and flatter themselves that it in some way makes them superior to theii brother man. If he is white, be congratulates himself'that he is not black If he is black, he congratulates himself that his eyes are more shiny and his teeth whiter. Doubtless demon' strations and sects have served some good ends, but if men had but learned to sweetly insist upon the truth foi truth's sake, instead of lining ui against their fellows in war paint and with tomahawk in hand, in utter disregard of the true spirit of the gospel the millennium would be much nearei than it is to-day. Argue a>s best wt ?ny, the essence of religion is a spirit in harmony with the infinite spirit; n spirit to which reality, fuct, truth, i< the supreme consideration. To trulj worship God is to pay to Him th< homage of reverent thought and feel ing, and of filial trust and love. Th< real temple of God is a human hearl wherein the spirit of a man meets ir sliekinah presence the Spirit of God Such worship and sucli worsjblpers God seeks. Again, true worship is the greal solvent of life's enigmas. In one ol the psalms credited of Asaph he seeks to express the doubt and difficultj that possessed his mind when h( sought to explain the prosperity of the wicked. It is surely a source of con stant question to a thoughtful mine" that the wicked flourish while manj righteous are constrained to live ii comparative if not quite penury. Th( I ?iflcn "Hnw ic if qutrduvii IYJJI uiiuv, *Av,r -w God's material good so constantly min isters to the wicked and unworthy?' In honest doubt many hearts liavf asked, "Why should I worship a Got] who so unequally distributes His bless ings?" This was the difficulty of tbf psalmist. He says: "Then thought ] to understand this, but it was too linrc for me; until I went into the sane tuary of God, then understood I th( end. of these men." When the psalm^ ist entered into spiritual fellowshif with God and saw the glory of thai God in all His spiritual beauty tlierc dawned upon his soul the reality ol the larger truth, that God's greatesi good is not jraateriai good. His rich est gifts are'not houses, or lands, 01 mines, or stocks. His richest gifts art those which bving the inner spirit ol a man into perfect harmony with di vine heart. No wealth or pelf car ease a restless conscience or lift th< burden from a bereaved heart. Onlj God can fill to overflowing the bumar soul with that quiet and calm, thai peacefulness which makes all life ? song. I ' Does your heart cry out for God' Would you know that peace whici passeth knowledge? Theu be assurei that these blessings can come to youi life only as yoti recognize the eterna reality of the spiritual and placing th< first emphasis upon the kingdom ol God and the Spiritual life seeks to liv< in perfect harmony with the divin< mind. The Positive Life. The only effective way of repeliinf the advances of error and evil in th< soul, is to possess a rear positive life The Apostle Jude gives us the golder secret of this effectiveness when h< says, "But ye, beloved, building ui yourselves on your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Ghost, keej yourselves in the love of God." The whole point of this exbortatior if? gained when the context is studied The evil men and seducers, who hac "crept in unawares," and were lik< "hidden rocks" (R. V.) in the Church proved their wickedness by makint separations, being sensual, and having not the Spirit. The way to meet tlies< men, says the Apostle, and to guarc one's self against them, is to keej in the love of (Jod, as in a fortress, oi an almosphere. AVbile abiding there it i6 impossible for error or evil t( touch the soul. This positive note is especially need ed to-day, when tho mo6t insidious at tempts are being made to ruin th( faith, especially of the young. Whei once a Christian can be induced tc leave his true atmosphere, and to dea with the foe in his own strength, he is doomed to be vanquished*, But if h( keeps in the love of God, he Temains where no shaft of evil or error cai touch liim.?London Christian. The Surprises of LUe. The surprise of life always comes It finding how we hnve missed the things that have lain nearest to us; how wt have gone far away to seek that whicl was close by our side all the time Men who live best and longest are apl to come, as the result of their living, t< the conviction that life is not only rich or but simpler than it seemed to the:r at first. Men go to vast iabor seeking alter peace and happiness. It seems to them as if it were far away fron' them, as if they must go through vasl and strange regions to get it. Thej must pile up wealth, they must se< every possible danger of mishap guard ed against, before they can have peace Upon how many old men has it couit with a strange surprise that peact should come to rich or psor only witl: contentment, and that they might as well have been content at the very out of life!

JOYS OF MATERNITY A WOMAN'S BEST HOPES REALIZED Mrs. Potts T$Us How Women Should Prepare for Motherhood The darkest dayB of husband and wife are when they come to look forward to childless and lonely old age. Many a wife has found herself incapable of motherhood owing to a displacement of the womb or lack of strength in the generative organs. Airs. Anna Potts | Frequent backache and distressing pains, accompanied by offensive discharges and generally by irregular and'scanty menstruation indicate a displacement or nerve degeneration of the womb and surrounding organs. The question that troubles women is how can a woman who has some female trouble bear healthy children? Mrs. Anna Potts, of 510 Park Avenue, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: My Dear Mrs. Pinkham:? '' During the early part of my married life I wm delicate in health : both my husband and I were very anxious for a child to bless our home, but I had two miscarriages, and could not carry a child to maturity.
