THE 'PULPIT. [I
AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY }
B SHOP C. C. McCABE. 1
X? '
4 Scbjecl: God's Littie Ones* j
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Bishop C. U. Mc- ^
Cabe preached in the Hanson Place i
M. E. Church Sunday morning. The j
Rev. Charles E. Locke, the pastor, con- .
ducted the service. Bishop McCabe ^
chose for his subject "God's Little j
Ones," and preached from the text ,
IsaiaJf lx:2I>: "And a little one shall (
become a thousand and a small one a 3
strong nation. 'I, the Lord, hath said }
it, in his time." He said: ]
There are two thoughts that claim .
our attention as we study this text, j
One is the kind of workers God chooses <
to do His greatest work in this world? j
the little ones; and. second, the possible ]
rapidity with which God's work may
go forward in this world. Cod
chooses the lowly to do His great work.
The history of the world never yet ,
has been fairly written. We know j
wl^at the great have done, we know (
what kings and emperors and generals j
and philosophers and poets and inven- j
tors have done, but the Macauley has ?
not yet arisen to trace out in history l,
what God's little ones have done, yet ]
the history of the world cannot be fair- ,
ly written without telling the story : (
of their lives, because they have done t
so much for the world, and what oth- ^
ers have done would have been in j
vain had it not been for what God's j
iittlo ones have accomplished. He j
chose the lowly. "God hath respect j
unto the lowly, but the proud He ]
knoweth afar off." He loves the lowly .
heart that trusts in Him. What an \
impediment to Christian work is pride!
We cannot build up a strong Chris- i
tian character \vitnout numinty. jhu- <
mility comes from the Latin word "hu- ]
mus," which means "the ground" ? (
the ground on which to build a strong ]
Christian character. Its corner atone (
and foundation stone must be humility, (
and if the cha:..cter lack that grace, j
It -will not stand the test of time and <
temptation; but, with humility, the i
Christian character may be built up ]
with a symmetry and universalness
that will endure through life and eter- ]
nity. What do you think of this pas- 1
sage? "I, the high and lofty one that ,
inhabiteth eternity, I will dwell in the ;
high and holy places with him also |
that is of a contrite and humble spir- j
it."' God chooses as His associates the ,
humble and the contrite.
Our .Lord carried on His work after (
the same plan. He chose the humble ,

to preach His gospel. And one day
they came back to Him surprised and
delighted with their experience, and^
they said: "Master, even the devils"
are subject to us in Thy name," and
it is written that at that time Jesus
rejoiced in spirit and said: "Father, 1
thank Thee because Thou bast bidden
these things from the wise and prudent
and bast revealed them unto
babes. Even so, Father, for. so it.
seemeth good in Thy sight." Paul understood
this well when be wrote to
the Corinthians: "Not may wise men
after the flesh, not many ipjghty, not
many noble are called; but God bath
chosen the foolish things of the world
to confound the wise, and God hath
chosen the weak things of the world
to confound the things which are
mighty, and the base things of the
world and things which are despised
bath God chosen; yea, and things ]
whi'ch are "not to bring to naught i
things that are, that no flesh should ]
glory in His presence." How low He (
gets it down! That bas always been ]
God's plan, even before the time wben j
the babe came to the manger in Beth- 1
It'll Pill. ?Jt?SUS UUI'Il 1U DCIL iCUCUi iu (
Judea?that little, lowly one was God's
answer <to tlie world's cry for help
and light. It was a little added weakness
to that wo had already, poverty
added to the poverty we had already;
it was an infant's wail added to'what
Paul calls the "groan of creation."
That was God's way of answeringman.
I will just call your attention to the
possible rapidty with which the kingdom
of God can grow in this world, "a
little one becoming a thousand." That
is a "tremendous rate of gain; it seems
as if it could not be so. "We say
Isaiah was a poet; a mystical man and
exaggerated sometimes, but this is no
exageration. It has often been the
case. Yea, a small one }ias become a
nation in the history of <the onward
march of the kingdom of Jesus Christ,
'our Lord. I believe that Gtod wanta
His kingdom to grow rapidly, and 1
think that was the spirit of Jesus
when He told His disciples the parable
of the talents. On another occasion
He gave them another parable of
the rich man who before going away
gave each of his servant a pound and
on his return required his own kwith
usury. One man said: "Lord, Thy
pound hath gained tea pounds." That
U1 A Vl/l c
was u ujj; jjcrtcuia^c ul JUIUCOI. v*
another said:* "Lord, Thy pound-liatli
gained five pounds." That was a pood
percentage, and Jesus said: "The
kingdom of heaven is like that." That
is the way invested lives may grow;
that is the way life, no matter how
humble, may grow; <11iat is consecration.
That is the teaching of these two
parables.
Now these are commercial figures.
Let us take them into the light and
try to understand them. In the parable
the master speaks of three rates
of gain. When the man who had five
talents brought five more he was
worth 100 per cent, to his master, and l
he who had two and brought two
more was also worth 100 per cent, to t
his piaster, but when the man who had ;
only one pound brought five pounds ]
more he was worth 500 per cent, to (
his master, and the man whose one t
pound had gained ten pounds was <
worth 1000 per cent, to his master; and i
.lesus said: "The kingdom of heaven
is like that." All those rates of gain t
are possible in the kingdom of heaven, t
We cannot receive it right off. Let U6
trv to romnrehend the Master's mean- 1
ing. Six per cent.?we know all about \
that?will do wonders if we will only ]
give it a little time. t
In 1G20 the island of Manhattan was i
bought by the white man from the In- i
dians for $24, which is an insigniti- ;
cant sum. Yes, but put it out at interest
at six per cent, and add interest .
to interest and let it grow for 285
years and how much would you have
then? The $24 would then Lave in- '
creased to $192,000,000. r.nd that is the
way the kingdom of heaven ?jght to
grow. And if you keep that money (
out at iuterest for 450 years it will j
be able to buy Manhattan Island with j
all there is on it. and then there will j
be enough left to buy every State in '
the Union, and then there will Gtill be
enough left to buy Great Britain. And
if left out at interest for 500 years
there would be enough to buy the Lulled
States, England and Germany. !
And the Master said: "The kingdom i
of .heaven is *Jke that," and that is the <
way it ought to grow, and that is the ]
way it would grow if we would simply <
keep the idea of the power and com- <
-rpeutidUspMtual interest of the church ]
of fioO, It you kept out tfco RTJEitii '
Interest added to Interest for GOO years
it would -wreck the "world. SL" per
cent! That is entirely too small a rate
Df gain to suit my soul. What does it
mean? It means this: That here is
the church of 100 members instrumenlal
in the conversion of six soul9 to
Christ in a year. I would not be satisfied
with 1hat rate at all. One hun3red
per cent, is the least rate of gain
that any Christian church ought to
think worthy of the kingdom of God.
The bells of the millennium would be
ringing before we oied if we only
tvould keep our soul winning for a few,
rears. It is not difficult to win a soul.
[ have been trying to work out this
iroblem for years?trying to be worth
something for ,iesus. One night 1 arrived
at New Haven, Conn., and took
i hack at midnight to the house where
[ was to stay. When the hackman
isked for his fare I dropped a quarter
nto his hand, and, grasping it, said:
'Good night, sir! I hope to meet you
n glory some day." He jumped on the
jox, whirled his horse around, and
was gone.
I did not expect to see him again.
4-way after midnight my host knocked
it my chamber door and said: "A
lackman ?.& here, acting queerly. He
lavs he wants to see you and ha6*"got
to see you to-night." I said: "Let.
lim come in." I arose and threw a
shawl-over me, and in came a great
stalwarts hacfcman with - his whip* in
bis hand and tears running down his
cheeks and he said: "If I meet you in
glory I have got <to turn around, for I
am not going that way. I have come
to ask you to pray for me. I could not
keep away." What a joy it was to
pray for that man! He went out comforted
by God's holy spirit, and I believe,
I was worth 100 per cent to^my
Waster that night. The possible
growth of tbe kiugdom is what I am
talking about.
In I860, when the war was over, I
svas on a train going from Lancaster,
Ohio, and saw a drunken soldier sitting
by himself. Nobody would sit by a
Irunken soldier, but itbat is the very
kind of man I like to sit by. I sat
lown by him and by and by stole my,
arm gently around his neck and whispered
to him: "Comrade, when are
you going to give your heart to Jesus
Christ and be a Christian?" He ,
looked embarrassed and got up and
went to another part of the train.
[ thought I had offended him. I went
that night to pteach in the little town
5f Putnam, where I once was pastor,
and there sat that man and his sister
beside him. We had a glorious meeting
that night. I did not eee him
again for thirty-five years, but one
night I was aoout to speak to the
Grand Army in the old Dutch Church
an Fifth avenue. There were 1800
soldiers "there. A splendid looking
man came down the aisle and I said to
a gentleman: "Who is that man?"
and he said: "That is Colonel Hadley,
the head of the St. Bartholomew Mis
sion. Me nas ueen lnsirumemui iu
planting fifty-four rescue missions in
this country." I went down, and said:
"Brother Hadley, I am glad to see
rou. I have heard about your work,
but I never saw you before." "Oh, yes
j-ou .have," he replied. "Thirty-five
rears ago I was sitting on a train and
fou came and sat down by me and
wanted to - know when I was going to
be a'.-Christian and give my: heart to
God. I never got over that question.
STou have seen me -efore." I believe
it is possible for every Christian to
;ain over 100 per cent, for our blessed
Lord every year.
There are souls that are worth a
thousand per cent. There was that
noble woman in the Epworth Rectory

according to conscience, and
:hen said:

/h* Spread and Need of Temperance
Imtrnction In Hnntary Show That |
the Use of "Light Wines and Beer"
Hai Not Solved the Problem.
During the past two years tie Hungarian
Government Las been actively
propagating temperance teaching in
the public schoole of tbat country."
The work has been prosecuted under
the direction of the Department of Religion
and i'ublic Instruction. This
work took active form April 24, 1903,
when the Minister of this department
of the Government issued a circular
addressed to the Inspectors of Second- ary
Schools, the Higher Schools for
Young Girls, and the Commercial and
Industrial Schools, warning the pupils
to avoid intoxicating liquors. It was
somewhat of a preliminary nature, the
nnpnincr nnrflornnh' readine:
"i'he ravages caused by alcoholism
become day by day more appalling In
tbe midst of our people. Everywhere
we see this scourge arising, and in its ,
train coiues misery, the deprivation of
soul and body, apathy, decreased aptitude
for work, the loosening of the
sacred bonds of family life, which are
the only solid foundations of the state
and of social order, the declines of religious
conviction; in tine, a general decay
in morals and physique."
The above official utterance, translated
from tbe Hungarian language, is
a rather fierce indictment of tlie ravages
of drink in a country where American
ignoramuses insist that tbe widespread
use of "light wines and beer"
ha6 solved tbe temperance problem.
Later in the same circular, after a
reference to tbe schools as an important
centre of information and influence,
the Minister continues:
'Thave judged it right to enjoin you
by this ^present circular to take every
nossible care that in the schools under
your-care the pupils of both sexes be
sufficiently instructed as to the injurious,
effects of alcoholism, and -with this
object, the'teachers are to se^Jt the aid
of choice articles contained in manuals
showing how injurious alcoholism is on
literals and public prosperity. Be
pleased also to exhort all the members fix
of the teaching corps in village schools, L
and in towns, to neglect no opportunity T
for forming temperance societies, and E
signify to them that I will not fail to ir
take count of their activity in this lo
matter." ?
The French word alcoolisme, the nat- T
ural equivalent of the English word bi
"alcoholism," is generally accepted lij
throughout Europe - to desigBftte, in si
general, the evil effects of the use of n<
alcohol. Its meaning, therefore, is not pi
confined to the disease designated in h<
English by "alcoholism," but has been lo
broadened in use to include all of the ol
physical evils growing out of its use. fc
It is also beginning to be used to uesig- m
nate the use of drink itself. Dr. Malti w
Helenius, the Finnish savant "who car- m
ries fourteen- languages under his hat, fli
and who is the author of "Der Alko- et
holfrage,".'published first in German w
,,by Fischer,.of. Jena, has invented the w
word "alcoholology" to designate the le
whole alcohol problem in general, in- lo
eluding the literature on the subject.
This word is now coming into common ni
use in Northern Europe. ai
On the following month, May C, tbe si
Minister sent out to the inspectors of ai
all elementary public schools another tl
circular, in which he again discussed S(
the ravages of alcohol. In this circu- gJ
lar, he declared: , it:
"It is a gulf that swallows up the m
health of the body and the soul, de- b<
stroys the forces physical and moral, ai
leads to tbe overthrow of the nervous tl
system, troubles the peace of the do- tl
mestic hearth, and ends in the ruin of ol
families. The habit of alcohol amongst G
the young Inevitably leads to intern- tl
peranee; and it then asks the Genera! lo
Councils to see that children under ol
fifteen (the age of compulsory school tl
attendance) are forbidden to frequent A
taverns, or to be present at dances
given ifa public halls." ' "j
On the first of last September the c<
same Minister addressed another circu- w
lar to the General Inspectors of Prim- oi
ary Schools, in which they are exhorted G
to see that the societies formed of tl
scholars h(
"Are habituated to politeness and so- Be
briety through efforts to turn them
away from frequenting taverns' and t
places or tnat cnaracier; xor 11 jb m- uj
tended that these societies should take ji
au active part in the light -with alco- oi
holism." 1 tl
The inspectors -were enjoined to G
"Enlighten the scholars first (on the tc
injurious effect of alcohol), prevent 01
them frequenting the said establish- m
ments, inspire them -with a salutary ?(
fear, and in fine, give them a good ex- w
ample.", G
In another circular of the same date, H
addressed to the Inspectors of the Sec- "<
ondary Schools, the Superior Schools
for Young Girls, and the Industrial and
Commercial Schools, the Minister said:
"In order that the efforts made by <Ij
the schools in the tight with alcoholism, tl
may be crowned 'with success, it is hi
above all necessary that the teachers as
and the professors themselves should g;
know all the dangers comprised in this u
scourge, and all the ravages it causes, hi
physically and morally; it is necessary a
also that they should know the great- hi
ness of the struggle and the scientific tl
results which have constrained the civilized
world to take part in this noble gc
fight, in which knowledge is essential jb
to conviction." jr
American scholars who are prone to ]0
insist (between drinks) that the Hunr sf
carians have settled the liquor temper- sc
nuce question by the widespread use of 11
"wines and beer," should read these tc
official circulars of the Minister of Religion
and Public Instruction of the T,
Hungarian Government. Such people ol
may get some light on their pet hobby, st

For all our tears?
The troubled toil
Of all the long-drawn years,
.. The struggle to survive
The passing show
Were nearce worth wflile,
If life were all.
If life were all.
What were it worth to live?
To build on pain,
So soon to learn
Our building were in vain,
And then to pass
To some vague nothingness
Were scarce worth while,
If life were all. .'
If life were, all,
How might we hear v
Our poor hearts' grief?
Our partings frequent
And our pleasures brief.
The cup pressed to the lips, "
Then snatched away,
Were scarce worth looking on
If life were all.
_ Life is not all?
We build eternally,
And what is ours to-day
To make existence sweet
Is ours alway.
We stand on solid ground
That lasts for aye and aye,
And makes life's sojourn
Worth the while?
Life is not all.
Life is not all.
I do not know the plan:
I only know that God is go6d.
And that Bis strenfi^h sustains.
I only know that He is just:.
So in the songless. stariess night
I lift my face and tnist,
And God my spirit witness bears,
jLiie is not uij.

not a way, and where 'is fragrance
hich a breath sca,ttereth not, and
here there is a flavor, which eating
sseneth not. This I love when I
ve my God.
And what is this? I asked the earth,
ad it answered me: "I am .not He;"
ad all that therein is confessed the
ime. I asked the sea and tbe depths,
ad the creeping things with life,, and
iey answered:' "We are not thy God;
:ek thou above us." I a!sked the
lies, and the airy universe, and all
s denizens replied: "Anaximenes is
istaken. I am not God." I asked
paven, sun. moon, stars. "Neither
e we,"' say tbey, "the God whom
lou seekest." And I said unto all
lings that stand about the gateways
! my flesh: "Ye have told me of my
od, that ye are not He; tell me someling
of Him." And they cried with a
ud voice: "He made us." My study
! them was my 'question to <them;
leir beauty their response to me.*
nd 1 turned myself unto myself:
fV'hat art thou?" '' A'nd I* answered:
1 man." And, behold, in- me there
infront me 60ul and body?tbe one
ithout, the other within. Which is it
! these wherein I ought to seek my
od, whom I had already sought
irough the body from earth even to
javen as far as I could send as mes ngers
the beams of mine eyes?
But that which is within is the betr;
for to it all the bodily members
ade report, as to a president and
idge, concerning the several responses
heaven, and earth, and all things
lerein, which said: "We are not
od, but He made us." The inner
ian knew thi^ by the agency of the
iter; my inward self knew this, I
yself, I, the living soul through tne
>nses of my body. I questioned the
hole fabric of the "world about my

A Child's Conclusion.
A little girl, whose father had once
pen very active in the work of the
lurch, but had ceased to work or
ray, climbed on his lap one day and
lid: "Papa, is (3od dead!" "Why, no,1
ly child, why do you ask?" "O you
ever talk to Him any more, and I
jought. perhaps. Ho was dead."
Perhaps from the lives of many of
s the world could not he sure wliethr
God was dead or not.
