The next reason why the Swiss fare
well is that their public school sys
tern is probably the best in the woriu.
and with tliem public school education
is practically compulsory. Yon can
send your child to a private school (in
some cantons) if you insist upon so
doing, hut tb* face of the Government
and the foiee of public opiuion are
sternly against the practice. In the
eantou of Solothurn private schools are
absolutely forbidden. In other cantous
a private school pupil must se.cure
a formal permit from the local
authorities, and in some cantons he
must pay a charge to tiie public funds.
The idea is that the public schools
are good enough for all, that rich
and poor are to moct there on even
terms, that the public school is the
nursery of demorcacy and patriotism;
above all. that democracy is the life

THE PULPIT. "
| A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. DR. H. M- SANDERS.
Subject: The Character of Jpshh.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?At the Washington
I Avenue Baptist Church. in the absence
| of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Robert
MacDonalil. the pulpit was occupied
j Sunday morning by the Rev. Henry M.
i Sanders, D. P., of Manhattan. The
I preacher's subject "was "The Character
; of .Tesus." His text was Matthew
| xxii:42: "What think ye of Christ?
I Whose Son is He?" and he said:
I The character of Christ is the ulti-j
mate fact in Christianity. It is the
j central citadel of our faith. What
I Hugomont was to Waterloo the charac;
ter of our Lord is to our religion.
: Around it the fiercest fight and blood
j iest carnage raged, but it "was round
impregnable, and because it was not
captured Napoleon was defeated. So
the character of Christ stands to Christendom.
If it could be shown to be
false all would be gained by its foes.
I but that character stands because it
I comes <*it of the flames of criticism,
! without so much as the smell of fire
j upon its garments. Who Christ was
] and what He was. therefore, are quesi
tions that have not lost their interest
j for mankind. Ever Jesus Christ is the
i most powerful spiritual force. He is
j to-day what He was for centuries, the
| object of the love and reverence of the
j good; and the cause of hope and repent|
ance to bad; of strength to the morj
ally weak: inspiration to the despondi
ent; consolation to the desoiate; cheer
| to the dying. He has been the incenI
tive of the most unbounded benevoj
lence, the most seif-sacilfieing devotion.
the Infinite within the limits of
our humanity, and faith lias beheld in
His sufferings the sacrifice for human
sin. Surely no other has done such a
work as this. He is to-day the world's
imperishable wonder; its everlasting
nroblem. The man who would assail
| our faitb with any degree of success
j must do it through the Founder. I
! want to direct your attention to some
of the features of that character which
; strike vs as being unique.
In the first place, it is the /lawlessness
of that character. He completely
satisfies our ideal of human virtue.
You cannot think of God as being
j more holy than He. In the world He
j lived a perfectly sinless life at all
j points. We shall seek in vain for any
j trace of sin in that life which would
I ? ***ill /JAffinfnH frnm rind
j iiiujcuir u ucicv.uu
pritle, ambition, covetousness. malice,
paltering with truth, no deviation from
the most exact rectitude. It was a life
of the highest purity, of the most impartial
equity, uncalculating self-sacrifice
and sternest veracity. And yet our
Lord's faultlessness of character does
I not rest upon our inability to detect
evil. In the first place. He never acknowledged
sin in any form, but lives
Himself free from every kind of sin,
either of commission or omission. Sin
Is the transgression of the law or any
want of conformity thereto. But Jesus
j never left undone anything He ought
t to have done. H$ said, "I have glori|
fied Thee on earth," and "I do always
j the things that please Him." lit*
j throws down the challenge. "Which
j of you convinceth Me of sin?"
! Then, again, the faultlessness stands
j the test of intimacy. "No man is a
I hero to his valet," said Thackeray,
j When Whitfield was asked whether a
i certain man were a Christian, he said:
| "How do I know? I have never lived
: with him." But the people who lived
! with Jesus are the most outspoken in
j the expression of His holiness. John
! declares that He was "A lamb without
! spot or blemish." Such was the testiI
mrtnv nt Hie cinlocCtlPSS
UJl'ilJ Ul UltilUO. AAtk> ? .?.VWW..?VW .
stands the test of enmity, of those who
lay in wait to entrap Him, and yet
their testimony is explicit. Pilate declared:
"I find no fault in Him;" the
centurion who superintended the crucifixion
said, "Truly this was the Son of
God." and the traitorous disciple declared
that he had "betrayed innocent
blood." When we look into the life of
Jesus we find that the record sustains
| this testimony of friend and foe alike,
i He never repents, never expresses rej
gret for anything. It is clear that He
has no compunctions of conscience, no
feelings of unworthiness. He tells us
that He goes back to God untarnished.
'And all this in view of the well known
fact that the nearer a man lives to God
the more he realizes his defects. The
measure of human perfection is the
conscience. Carlyle says that the
greatest of faults is to be conscious of
nothing. The worse a man is the less
conscience speaks to him. If the shield
be ami more or less spois upon u muiie
little difference, but if perfectly polished
one spot mars it.
Jesus never accused Himself. Abra!
ham, Moses. Samuel and Ezekiah all
land to acknowledge imperfections.
Peter wept tears and Paul speaks of
himself as "the chief of sinners." Edward
Paysoa says he did not know
any evil of which he did not feel the
possibility in his own nature, and
Jonathan Edwards in writing his diary
stained the manuscript with tears of
contrition as he wrote. You detect no
such thing with Jesus. Why? Because
he was a Pharisee, satisfied with
external righteousness? Had He fantastic
ideas of holiness? He made the
most exalted standard for men and
yet never gave the slightest intimation
that He fell below it. He said: "If ye
(not we) repent;" and "Ye (not we)
must be born again." In all matters
of human sympathy where He could
i ally Himself with man He did so, but
in sin Ho always separated Himself.
The so-called "Lord's Prayer" is not
the Lord's prayer except that He gave
it. Wheu lie said, "Our Father, who
are in heaven, forgive us our sins." it
was a prayer He never meant for Him
| self. Hie symmetry of His character,
the completeness of it and the idea of
goodness which is presented by Him is
harmonious. There is nothing onesided
or narrow which is so often discernible
in the greatest of men. As c
rule we cannot exemplify one aspect
of human goodness except at the cost
of tlie rest. It would seem as if nature
exhausted itself by success in a certain
direction. The hollow answers to the
hill in human character. It was not so
with Jesus. In His character each virtue
was balanced by its counterpart;
He was magnificent, yet weak; humble,
yet firm; just, yet benevolent; dignified,
yet condescending; pure, yet .sympauietic;
commanding, yet submissive;
spiritual, but not ascetic. A great
many virtues are only vices that have
gone to seed. Our Lord never went
too far. I-Ie was in perfect equipoise;
unique, but not eccentric. He was a
combination of the masculine and the
feminine. I like to think that He
took on all human nature, not simply
that of the man. We need not to worship
the virgin Mary, when we have
Jesus Christ. He sympathizes with
everything that is beautiful in human
life. He was sensitive, but not sentimental:
brave, but not rash; always
firm, but not obstinate or pigheaded;
His dignity never approaching pride;
His sympathy Dever becomes easy-so:
'J v ' ' " '.v.-' v- . '
J
ing familiarity; He unites implacable
hatred of sin with the warmest love for
the sinner, and keeps a beautiful balance
between severity and tenderness.
Our human nature, even at its best,
can hold nothing settled. The scales
are always slipping off the balance.
The finite nature seems to exhaust itself
in success in any one line of human
achievement. But this balance of
the character of Jesus is never disturbed
nor needs readjustment. In
Him the diverse prophecies of the Old
Testament unite. In one place He is
described as "a root out of a dry
ground;" in another as "the living
branch;" as "despised and rejected
of men" in one passage and ns "the
desire of all nations" in another. In
His character He combines the char- j
acteristicS of moral excellence.
Think also of the universality of the j
character of Jesus. No nation or race,
no time or sect can claim Him as its
own. While a Hebrew, yet there does
not seem to be any particular Hebrew,
or even Oriental, characteristic about
Him. And thjs is the more remarkable
if we remember that the Jewsthere
have been no other such people
in the world?have kept the mood of

like the gulf stream, through the ocean,
yet unaffected by it. They have been
more eternal than the "Eternal City"
itself. The race remains as when
Pompey led their captive fathers to the
imperial city, 2000 years ago. Out of
this unmiugling race there emerges
Jesus, the cosmopolitan, the man of
the whole world. We cannot seem to
account for Him or bring Him into line
with His predecessors. In all centuries
He has been recognized as the type of
human virtue. Socrates would uot b?
considered an exemplary man to-day.
nor Marcus Aurelius. A good many
saints have been canonized that ought
to have been cannonaded. Jesus Christ
was what He always called Himself.
"The Son of Man," as if in Him humanity
was complete.
Again, think of the uniqueness of.
Jesus in His teaching. Plato has been
a dominant influence in the world. By
comparing school with school he became
one of the most learned men. Not
so with Jesus. He did not sit at the
feet of any Jewish rabbi. He was only
a carpenter's son in a rural district.
."How knoweth this man letters, having
never learned?" was asked. He associated
with those who were His masters
in learning, and yet confounded
them. Erudite lawyers and Pharisees
joined to catch Him, and yet He always
answered them immediately and
never asked for time to consider. His
replies were in terms so explicit that
His teachings have settled casuistry
for 2000 years. No man has ever been
able to add a single iota to the moral
and spiritual truth He taught. '
Once more think of the uniqueness of
His character in regard to His mighty
works, and His manner of doing them.
tie never ascenus xo xna wui k, um.
always descends. His efforts are without
laboriousness or strain, as if ratlier
a relaxation, unlike other men when
engaged in a great performance. He
never prepared Himself for a miracle
or studied the laws of dynamics or
force. In the first cbaptcr of Genesis
it is written, "God said. Let there be
light." That seems to indicate tbe way
in which Jesus performed His* miracles.
He acted as if He were accustomed
to doing them, as if they were
spangles on the regalia of a king. The
disciples rejoiced that "the devils were
subject" to them, and He told them
rather to rejoice that their names were
"written in heaven." That is the best
thing.
So we come back to the question,
"What think ye of Christ? Whose Son
is He?" What answer are "we going
to make? We have got to answer; no
man can escape it. That personal
query stands dominant>and persistent
in front of every man alive; the one j
great interrogation point facing every
generation and every individual. "VV%
know answers that Lave been given:
That He was the natural product of
the outgrowth of the ages; the flower
of the preceding ages, the proceed of
the force long held in solution. That
is the explanation with which evolution
accounts for Jesus Christ. Then
why does not evolution produce another
Jesus, or something like Him?
Some say He was a literary product,
the ideal of inventive minds. Renan
tells us the gospels are the supreme romances
of the world. My friends, it
would seem to be as credible that a
Zulu composed "Paradise Lost" as that
this superb, marvellous character
should be simply the weaving of human
brains. That interrogation point
still stands: "What think ye of Christ?"
Painting; the I.ilj.
In the vicinity of'the Duomo, 4n
Florence, are the bronze gates that
Michael ^ngelo said were fit to be the
gates of Paradise. Once they were
covered with exquisite enamel work.
The decorators gilded the bronze with
COld iear. -iuc me veueur >va? >cij
thin; soon the damp, the cold, the heat,
cracked the delicate frosting and now
it is all gone. To-day the gates stand
forth clothed only in their simple splendor.
And yet, behold the rich bronze
is more beautiful in its simplicity than
with its gilded veneer. The storms
were kind to the gates and removed
what was meretricious and gaudy and
restored them to their native beauty.
So men have painted portraits of
.Tesus; they have tried to "paint the
lily and gild refined gold." But we go
back to the portraits of the gospels and
in their simple portrayals find a beauty
that had been lost.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLINC FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE,
A Qnerr : What Othor F.nn:ne?* Entail*
Suflfrlnff, Sorrow and Di*cmce on Its
l'HtronH T.Ike Liquor Trnftlc??
There Ib But One Antwer: None.
Once more the license mill has been
set iu motion, and the license court
granted perniiss/on to 130 persons in
Lycoming County to sell intoxicating
liquors as a beverage. One poor fellow
who awfully wanted to sell some, too,
was refused on the ground that another
place was not necessary at the poiut
he had selected a* an ideal location.
Two places notorious for violations of
the regulating (?) law had to make a
pretense of rebutting evidence produced
against them and they with two
other places were "held under advisement
until the court can learn how the
business is conducted."
Two questions naturally arise concerning
these 130 liquor hells. First,
What good will result from them? Second,
What harm will result from them?
As to the good that will result, any
claim thereto must be far fetched.
There is not another business in existence
from which so little good arises;
it is true that 130 families, the saloonkeepers'
families, will be supported In
comparative luxury, but in order to
secure this support they are subjected
1o disgrace and defiling environments

tbe traffic and although they them-"
6elves may be total abstainers, as many
of them are, they never can shake off,
even after retirement from the debasing
business, ihe awful and lasting disgrace
and defiling effects of the blighting
damning traffic. But, alas, while
these 330 families live in luxury, think
of the hundreds of families represented
by the poor'fellows on the other side
of the bar. No diamonds and rich raiment
for them. In many of their
homes not even enough to satisfy the
hungry cries of the poor wife and little
ones. No shoes for the children to
wear to Sunday-school, no dress for the
overworked wife and mother to wear
to church. What other business entails
suffering, sorrow and disgrace on its
patrons like the liquor traffic?
It may be claimed that further good
will result in the employment that the
business will give to brewery employes,
drivers and bartenders. But
will they not, like the 130 families, be
dragged down to a lower level of re
spectability, useful citizenship and true
enjoyment of life than would be t.lie
case in any other employment? Can
you conceive any other good to result
from these 130 licensed rum holes in
our county?
Now, what harm will result from
them? Alas, who can tell? "What will
the harvest be?" There will be fights
and brawls, assault and battery cases
by the hundreds, suffering and sorrowing,
broken hearts, starving children,
freezing babies and frenzied mothers,
profanity, perjury, cruel blows, Incendiaries
and murders, crowded jails and
creaking gallows, crimes innumerable
and unmentionable, funerals and perdition
for many a poor soul who to-day
walks our streets all oblivious of the
doom which awaits him. The timeworn,
bare-faced fraudulency of the
claim that this accursed traffic is licensed,
"for the good of the traveling
public," is manifestly one of the most
misleading influences toward commercial
and political dishonesty, and there
is little hope of a permanent return to
honest methods in business and public
affairs, while the essentially dishonest
and disloyal system of accepting a license
bribe for such a business 1s continued?The

Townships Under Local OpilAi.
In the State of New York there are
more than 600 townships in which, under
the operation of the local option
law, no liQuor can be sold. Over half
of the municipalities and three-fourths
of the townships in Ohio are "dry."
The territory of the State of Indiana
is two-thirds of its size without a legalized
liquor dealer. The State of Tennessee
has only sixteen places where
Intoxicating liquors may be lawfully
sold. The great State of Texas has
141 counties which are "dry" under local
option. In all the Southern States,
with a population of more than twentyseven
millions of people, more than
nineteen millions are living in localities
where no saloon is permitted.
Practical Restraints to Drink.
Slowly, practical ideas concerning
temperance are working their way into
the minds of business men. It is be
coming evident 10 everyuuuy mm
one holding a position of trust and
responsibility can afford to allow his
natural faculties to be disturbed in
their exercise by artificial stimulants
of any kind. There may be wit in
drink, because wit in its essence is a
surprise. The more disjointed the logic
of a witty man. the more effective Are
his sayings. But all business men
must trust to logic, and an executive
agent must, in the proper sense, have
all his wits about him, therefore he
cannot allow his logical faculties to be
disturbed and disjointed by drink.?

KIDNEY JROUBLES
Increasing Among Women, Bat
Sufferers Need Not Despair
THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE
Of all the diseases known, with which
the female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal, and statistics
show that this disease is on the increase
among women.
Unless early and correct treatment ifl
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most efficient
treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only medicine
especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs ofr feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with- Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
" I cannot express the terrible suffering I
had to endure. A derangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended
me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until
I was unable to do anything, and I made up
my mind I could not five. I finally decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
as a last resort, and I am to-day a well
woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I
tell every suffering woman about my case."

Uncovered Greek Street.
The excavations set on foot at Sparta
by the English school at Athens have
begun under happy auspices. In exploring
the walls carved stones have
been found bearing Greek inscriptions
of the time of the Romans.
At a depth of thirteen feet remains
of a Greek street were discovered, giving
rise to the hope that vestiges of the
buildings of the ancient town may be
brought to light.
