Little Cirl'n Obstinate Cii6e of EczemaMother
Says: "CuticaV.: Remedies
a Household Standby."
"Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate ease ot eczema, 1 resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physician's
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Uuticura Ointment and
Guticnra l'ills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura .Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores, in
about six weeks. we had her completely
well, and there hau been no recurrence of
the trouble. We find that the Cuficura
Remedies are a valuable household standby,
living as we do twelve miles from a
# doctor, and where it costs from twenty to
twenty-five dollars to come up on the

find Grape-Nuts and albumen water
very nourishing and refreshing. This
yepipe is my own idea and is made as
fallows: Soak a teaspoonfnl of GrapeNuts
in a glass of water for an hour,
strain and serve with the beaten white !

of nourishment that even tbe weakest

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY j
REV. DR. ALLAN DOUCLAS CARLILE. 1
J
Subject : Christian Growth.
Brooklyn, N. Y. ? The Rev. Allnn
Douglas CarliJe, D. D., wlio lias re- ;
reived a unanimous cnll to the pastorite
of tbe Tliroop Avenue Presbyterian
Cburcb, Jn this borongh, made vacant .
by the death of Dr. Louis Ray Foote
(n December last, preached for tbe first .
" rtme to the congregation of that church
si Sunday morning. He is now tbe pastor
ol of the Tabernacle Presbyterinn|Clmrcb
I3 in Tittsburg, Pa., where he is highly
lf ?steenied. Tbe subject of his discourse
re was "Christian Growth." His text was
, II. Peter lii:18: "But grow in grace, and
in tbe knowledge of our Lord and Saviour.
Jesus Christ," and he said:
In tbe Creek the article is before tbe
le noun in both cases: "Crow in tbe grace
d, and the knowledge." Grace is detined,
e, theologically and abstractly, as "Cod's
3f loving favor; unmerited by us." The
)e "grace" of our text is definite and specific:
"the .grace of our Lord Jesus,"
and. for oiir "purpose this morning, may
" be taken as the sum total of the graces
,e tbat make up Christ's matchless charis
acter, our development in Christ's Jike)f
ness, and not by the acquisition of new
graces, but by a growth of those withk
in us already received. Growth, nor*
1(j mal growth, is necessary to health; if
life be checked it argues serious mnlady.
Christian maturity is nothing
a short of Christ-likeness. This we have
:9 not yet attained; until we do there can
;e hp no more imnortant Question than:
le Are we growing at a uormal rate?
b Are we better than our' fathers? Is
the Church to-day better than the
' Church of the Reformation? 0/ in the
. Apostolic day ? Perhaps you doubt the
possibility of such n thing. But mark
r* how it grew from Tentecost to John,
d and then remember that we have the
g lame things before us still undone. We
tl have the same spirit of God to guide
iv us, aud we have had 3S00 years more
d time. Would it not rather seriously reflect
upon us if we had not advanced
- upon them? In the days of Abab, the
darkest'perlod in history, Elijah wanted
to die because he was no better
than his fellows.
; lu the church,, as ia natpre, there is n
twofold growth: One from without '
and the other from within. From without
the development of what I call corporation
in numbers and in wealth and
in the consequent influence upon the
world which it has gained in the same
way and maintained for the same reason
as any other world power. The inward
growth is development from the
aeart outward; growth of character, .
and, necessarily, a growth of individual
character. The development of the
rhurch in character only through the
development of the individual cnaracter.
For the church is like other corporations;
it hns no character apart
from its members, and it depends upon
ibe perfection of each several member
for its perfection. One, you see, is
growth in bulk, the other in character
?one of the corporation, of the corporation
indeed, but only by the growth
Jf the individual, and one is the /rebuilding
of the temple of God. One is '
the progress of the kingdom of God
wherein we have a citizenship, and the
ather the progress of the kingdom of
God, which is within you. The tirst
we read of constantly, the second we
hear of rarely. The last is the most
important and the Jess continuous 4u
Ihis our day. I do not wish to be misunderstood.
I glory iu the outward
growth of the church and the mighty
works done for Christ iu the world, but
ail our works mean nothing beyond the
whitewashing of the outside of the sepolchre,
save only in bo far as they nre
4 the natural and inevitable evidence of
b ; the working of n God-like character.
w Are we growing in character at a normal
rate? We know >.he standard.
Christ gave it the parable of the tares
nud the wheat; tares and wheat growing
side by side, but further and further
apart. So are the church and the
world growing together, but more and
more unlike until ibe .Vrvest. At sowing
time, even, was not the dividing
line clearly marked? Is it so to-dayV
If not it shows change of character on
one side or the otier. Which is it?
You ask: Is not this spiritual development
of so subtle a character that we
can hope for its continuance even
though not recoguized'in ourselves or
others? How can there be change of
character without a corresponding
' change of life? Look back to the sowing
time, when to cross the dividing
life meant martyrdom. We have a
harder task to perform than any martyr
had who died for Christ. There are
hundreds here to-day who would do
that. It is not hard to die for Christ,
but I tell you it 3s bard to live for
Christ; to plod ou day by day on o,ur
unheroic way, persistently, consistently
"_f !il. n-J 4KU
llVJllg Willi UUU ill 111JO nuuu. anu
that is your task and mine. Get the
character tha,t will enable you to do
that and you may let the works take
oare of themselves.
That question comes: "What is the
' nse? Does not the catechism say we
are not going to be perfect in this life,
but will be when we die? What is the
use?" .Suppose the death arigel summoned
you to-day. In order to stand
worthily in the presence of Jesus everyo
thing that defileth must be stripped off.
r What would there be left? A babe Is
e perfect, but it is only a perfect baby.
0 I once knew a beautiful child, the delight
and joy of the household, but,
alas! She grew up to the age of twenty
and was Etill a babe. A babe of
s three is a child of promise, -but a babe
e of twenty is a monstrosity. And is ft
not possible that in the holy city there
s are babes of three score years and teu
!( whose only place is among the chil- ,
g flren? Would that satisfy yon? No?
. Then "Grow in grace and in the knowl- ,
edge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus
3 Christ." But how? Two things are
necessary: 'The spirit of God in our
hearts and the knowledge of the truth
as it is in Jesus. The spirit of God you
9 have"; the knowledge of the truth you
I- must acquire. For ft is by the truth
e that you will be liberated; by the truth
[1 you are sanctified.
j It Is not enough, therefore, to say:
"I know 1 have not done as well as 1
Know; 1 will ivy to uo ueuer. jloii always
do as well as you know. The
truth you l<now has bein making you
what you are. To be holy you nnist be
P wiser; to be better you must know
e more, for truth is not a thing you can
j- record in a book or formulate in a
i, creed. Truth is a great living clioract
ter, a life-determining principle: "As a
f man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
Take the Bible and follow the word.
Like growth in Christ growth in1
knowledge must be gained individually.
, You cannot know another's knowledge
( any more than you cau go to heaven i
e on another's failb. Some years ago in
a theological seminary a young ntan
e was being examined. He got along
i. well until one of the examiners nsketl
him a certain question, which took hii"i
by surprise. He could not answer in
. Iris then state of mLnd. If he bad been
. asked suddenly his age he could not
have told it. At last 011 the question
being pressed he said: "1 believe what
ihe .Presbyterian Church believes." Uc ,
? -
ilid not pass. It will not pass you,
Tliere are some things like that in the
church, far too serious to be funny.
Such as going to Ihe pastor time after
fcine and asking: "Is this right?" "Is
lhat man's position correct?" Where
is that spirit that guideth into all
truth?
What are you doing to advance the
Presbyterian Church, or our name ic
His name, by your own development'
A danger to-day lies in believing in the
wrong or error that may be in oni
creeds. Is there anything in them thai
ought to be eliminated? It Is n greal
peril to think that all truth is in oui
creed and that what is not writtei:
there is wrong. For that stops nd
vanceroent and is n check to our pro
gress in Christ's knowledge and grac<
and means declension?loss. Chrl$i
taught Ihe truth and did not formulate
it. The apostles enlarged upon it t<
meet the needs of the growing church
the early fathers systematized trutt
into creeds. And so It went on dowr
from the time of Constantine to th<
Renaissance, until we found the trntb
not by ecclesiastical dictum, but in ef
feet it was the same. I have^een oh

, teacher has many things to consider.
, The profession, if it can be called a
I profession, is still unorganized. No
standard of excellence, no diploma
s certifying ability, is required. Meth1
ods of teaching in public schools in
New York State are very different
; from those in Colorado, and those in
L Utica are different from those in
t ! Buffalo. There are private schools
of all kinds. There are almost as
many methods of teaching arithmetic
as there of teaching vocal music. To
obtain his first position he ordinarily
joins an agency. He takes to the

Snniight For All the leaves.
The telegraph plant of India has
a method of its own for catching the
sunshine, says the Telegraph Age.
Each of its leaves is composed of
three leaflets..
The larger terminal one erects itself
during the day and turns sharply
down at night, while the other
two smaller leaflets move constantly
day and night, describing complete
circles with a peculiar jerking motion
like the second hand of a watch.
Ocasionally they rest for a period
and tften go on agaih. thus bringing
every part of every leaf to the full
? action of the sunlight.

c The Admiral's Flight.
Had not Admiral Lord Keith deliberately
dodged the process-server,
Napoleon might never have gone to
St. Helena. "We wish that the King
of France would hang or shoot Bonaparte,
as the best termination of the
business," wrote Lord Liverpool, our
humane prime minister. They did
not want him back in England, whatever
happened. Others did. A man,
bent on getting him brought ashore,
issued a subpoena for Napoleon.
' T.nrH Tfpith thnucht it was a writ of
J """ - o
j habeas corpus, and was determined
- not to have it served. The man
chased him all day, he declared, first
starting him out of his own house,
then following him to the Tonnant,
which he entered on one side as the
admiral left by Che other; and pursuing
him still further round the
fleet, until Lord Keith finally outrowed
him in a twelve-oared barge,
and gave him the slip. Had Napoleon
once come ashore and seen the
Prince Regent, he had never seen i
St. Helena. "Why, blame the fellow,"
said Keith, after his interview
with his Royal Highness, "in half an
hour they would have been the best
friends in England." Which, judging
from all the evidence, seems accurately
to express the probabilities.
