red French flannel is stitched with

are appropriate and the lining can be
used or omitted as individual preference
may decide.
The waist consists of the lining,

the yoke. The box plait is quite separate
and is attached to the right

Umbrella Novelties.
Something new in the umbrella
line was carried the other day, when
a fashionable woman made her appearance
with a silk umbrella, fully
twenty-six inches in size. It was
edged all around with pink silk frills,
while the handle was \vhif.e enamel
with a big pink topaz in the eud.
Very elaborate umbrella handles
are to be carried this fall, and, at i
first sight, one can almost imagine
oneself in a menagerie, for the handles
show heads of owls, monkeys,
tigers and lions. Of course, the pretty
ivory elephant plays a very important
part, but it is eipensive, and
there are few who can afford to buy
a real ivory carving to put into the
handle of a silk umbrella.?New

of taffeta with trimming of banding
and is stitched with belding silk, but
it is quite appropriate for the favorite

both white and colored, that is so
general worn throughout the warm
weather. Again, it is adapted both
to the coat suit and to the separate
skirt that is to be worn with lingerie

one and in addition to its attractiveness
gives needed strength to the upper

THE PULPIT.
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. D. H. OVERTON.
Subject: God's Obligation to Man.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?The Rev. Dan
lei H. Overton, pastor of Greene Avenue
Reformed Church, preached Sunday
Dight in the Bushwick Avenue
Reformed Church at the union services
with His own congregation.
The subject was, "God's Obligation
tj Man." The text was from II. ,.":mothy,
i: 9: "Who saved us, and called
us with a holy calling, n^t according
to His own purpose aud grace, which
was given us in Jesus Christ bt ore
times eternal, but hath now been
manifested by the appearing of our
Saviour Jesus Christ." Mr. Overton
said:
There is the law of God and there
is the gospel of God. Often have I
spoken of the law of God, now I
would speak of the gospel of law.
The law of God may be defined, as
laat which _xp::s d man's obligation
to God, c.nd the gospel of God
as that which expresses God's obligation
to man. The Old Testament and
the New T:rtament unite in this,
that they give not only the law of
God, but the gospel of God. It is
this fact that makes the Hebrew religion
and the Christian reiigion different
from all the other religions
of the world. Many other religior.s
give directly or indirectly the law of
God, but nor- of them gives the gospel
of God ?- thus defined as the
' -/ - j mi ?~ ?
oongauon oi uuu to uian. iue buv.o
of the heathen natiODS round a-out
the Hebrew nation were of suca a
nature that they must oe appealed
and pleased 1 y worship and sacrifice
ou th^ part of mau or they would
torment and crush man. The lav
Of the gods must be obeyed, but only
that man might escape the punishment
of the gods, and not from any
particular love of man for the gods.
It is strange how this heathen conception
of the gods has crept into the
thought of so many about the
true and living God. He, too, in
the thought of many, is a God
that must be appeased and pleased
by worship and sacrifice or He
Will punish and torment and
crush men. Men must obey the laws
of God or perish by them. This is,
of course, true as far as it goes. "Tae
soul that sinneth, it shall die." Men
cannot sin with impunity. Man is
responsible to God, and under obligations
to Him to keep His law and do
His will. We must never forget this, nor
get far away from this in our thought
of God. But we must not stop with
this thought. If we do we will have
only a partial view of God?we will
have only a heathen god.
Anrl iP tod liovo nnlv nnptifll find
or a heathen gol, then ? e shall have
only a partial or a heathen religion.
If fear is our only motive in religion
or worship, then our religion and
worship will be for the purpose of
escaping the wrath of an angry God,
and it will find expression in our
attempts to appease and please
an angry God by propitiations and
atonements, and sacrifices, and
servile obcdience to His laws. We
must rise above fear, and even above
the thoughts of future rewards, to
love, and to the thought of loving,
loyal service, and present rewards
in doing something to hasten the
coming of God's kingdom upon the
earth. We must rise above tne obligation
of man to God, as expressed
by law, and think of the obligation
of God to man as expressed by
love and the gospel of love. We
must think of the gospel of God
p? well as of th? law of God. This
will not belittle our respect for the
law of God, nor in any way lower
>ur sense of obligation to Him.
Daniel Webster, when asked what
?"is th- greatest thought that ever
entered his mind, replied, you remember,
that it was the thought of
man's responsibility to God. That
certainly is a great thought, and yet
the one I bring you to-day is greater.
God's obligation to man is, I believe,
the greatest thought that can enter
ihe mind of men.
This thought of God's obligation to
man is newer than the thought of
man's obligation to God. It may
be new to many of you who are t:re
to-day. There are some, I expect,
who will den. that God is under any
obligation to nir*1 whatsoever, and
some of you may be among that number,
but I believe that the thought is
true, even if it is new, and that is
why I proclaim it to you to-day.
God's obligation to man is the great
gospel of God to man. The gospel is
good new?, and what bc.ter news is
there in all the world for man than
this?that God, the God of infinite
love and Fatherhood, is under obligations
to him? Let us see if this
is a fact, and if we find it so, let that
fact rest in our minds and bless our
lives evermore.
First, look at our human relationships
for proof of the fact. Children
have obligations to their parents,
but parents have obligations to their
children also. My boys are under
obligations to me, but I am under
obligations to my boys r.lso. Why?
Because I am their father, with a
fothor'c Vioart- nnri a father's inter
est. I cannot leave tliem to perish
until all my fatherly resources are
exhausted for their good. So God,
by becoming the Fatner of the nutr.au
family, has placed Himself under
obligation to the whole, human
family. The very meaning of the
word religion implies this. Religion,
true religion, is that which binds a
man to God in right relationship.
Which is it that binds a man closest
to God? Is it man's obligation to
God, or is it God's obligation to man?
[ believe it is the latter. Close as the
law may bind man to God, love binds
bim yet closer.
Now, all true human relationships
involve obligations on both
sides, and from both parties to
the relationship. God has always
acknowledged His obligation to
mau, even if man has^not always
acknowledged his obligation to God.
Wbat is a covenant but an obligation
on the part of two or more people?
God has made many coyenants
with individuals and with His chosen
people. He made covenants with
Abel. Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
Mose". Elijah, Elisha, David and
with many otherr that wc might mention.
He made covenants with the
nation of Israel and or J-dali again
and again. These covenants implied
the obligation of God to man, as well
as man's obligation to God, elso they
would not have been covenants, but
simply laws. These covenants are the
gospel of the Old Testament and of
the Hebrew religion. This gospel
of God's obligation to man unites the
Old and New Testaments as one book
and as the book of one '.rue religion,
and the revelation of one great gospel,
the gospel of God as a

Abbott: "Tbe Old Testament is th

is the gospel of God'a obligation t

the fact of God's obligation to mai
It is really the central fact of the 01
matit tonfn tv>nuira tf aa +vi
auu Auoiaiucuu cviixvc. to wxj
very gospel of God in His great boo
from beginning to end, if only w
interpret that book aright!
But before we boast of that goi
pel, or pride ourselves that God 1
under obligations to us, let us see
to know the ground or that obligj
tion. Let us know that we have nc
put God tinder an;- obligation to v
by anything we have done. "Nc
according to our works, but accordin
to His own purpose and grace," Pai
says in the text. It is therefore God
own purpose and active love, fc
grace is love in action, that has pi
God under obligation to man. "God e
loved"?and there it all began?th]
gospel of God's obligation to mai
God so loved that He voluntarily an
out of His great love, and for n
other reason, placed Himself und?
obligation to the whole world of hi
manity, so that whosoever in ths
world would believe in that love, an
would let God fulfil His obligatio
toward him, should not perish, bi
be saved. This is John iii:16, in ti
light of our text and in the words c
our theme. This is the' gospel tht
Jesus Christ came to proclaim and t
live. He came to tell every man the
God so loves him that He is willin
to place Himself under obligations t
him. It was for this reason that Go
gave us His greatest gift?the gift c
Himself in Jesus Christ?as much (
Himself and even more than ma
would or could comprehend and b?
lieve in. It is because He is th
great loving universal Father ; u
He has placed Himself under obligj
tion to every child of His, to ever
man and v.'oma- in all the world.
Be this our boast then: 'not thj
we have put God under any oblig?
tion to us by anything that we ha\
done, but that God out of His infinit
love for us and according to His ow
loving ;.nd eternal purpose has place
Himself under obligations to us. Th:
purpose was given us in Jesus Chris
"before time3 eternal," Paul say
That is, it was born in God's eternj
Father-Heart before time came to t
reckoned or counted. God ever
vainer muse ever na?e uau ? oui
else He would not have-been ever
Father, and In that love for that etei
nal Son we see God's purpose for a
His sons in all the world. And th:
purpose has now been manifested t
the world and to us by the appeal
ing of our Saviour, Jesus Chris
That is, Christ camu to show God'i
the Father's, eternal purpose to th
world. He came to tell the worl
that He has been willing to plac
Himself under obligation to ever
one in all the world. This is the goi
pel that Christ came to proclain
This is the gospel that shines fort
in all that He said or did.
And now we are ready to see whs
this obligation of God to us and HI
eternal purpose, has led Him to d
for us, or the result of His obligatio
to man. What is the issue of thi
gospel of God's obligation? Wha
has it led God to do for us? It ha
led and it will lead God to do even
thing that infinite love can do c
that we will let Him do for our sa
vation. The first part of the tes
gives this answer: "Who saved ,ui
and called U3 with a holy calling.
He has called us to salvation and t
holiness through faith in Him, as th
lnvine Father, and in His Son, as th
revealer and example of the Father1
love and character. This is the coi
enant that God waits and wants t
make with every one of us. It is nc
His will that any should perish, l>u
that all should receive the light c
life, and live the life that is abui
dant and eternal. It was God's obi
gation to us, born of His love for u:
tnat led Him to send Christ to sufTe
and die for us, in order that He migh
become our Saviour and lead us t
salvation and to holiness. It wa
this that led God to do the very bes
that He out of His infinite power an
love could do for us and for all c
His children of the earth. Ah, yei
we may be sure of this?God ha
kept, and God will ever keep, HI
part of the covenant that He ha
made with us and for us. He ha
fulfilled and He ever will fulfil, Hi
full obligation to us.
I'his is the gospel of the Old an
New Testament that I proclaim t
you to-day. Thi- is the gospel c
Jesus Christ?the gospel of God'
obligation to man born of God's grea
love for man.
The Sinfulness of Sin.
Unhappily that "secularization c
morals," which the late Herbei
Spencer proclaimed to be imperativf
ly necessary, has already made som
progress. Tne tendency to minimiz
sin?by characterizing it, not as
personal crime against God, bu
rather as "indiscretion," a. "disease,
or* as the inevitable result of "hered
ity" in irresponsible persons?is de
veloping in quarters where ther
ought to be clearer and more accur
ate views of life. There can be n
successful sin." It may be hidde

Inebriety as a phase of insanity, a
k disease that kills 100,000 persons a
year, was the topic discussed by Dr.
>t ,T. D. Crothers, Superintendent ol
is Walnut Lodge Hospital, of Hartford,
>t Conn., before the British Medical Asg
sociation at Toronto, Canada,
il In Dr. Crothers' opinion, the term
's Inebriety describes a condition which
r calls for alcohol for its anaesthetic
it effect, and in reality means a disease
o of the brain for which alcohol iB a
Is most grateful remedy. The use ol
3. alcohol, he said, is in most cases a
d symptom of some disorder, and not,
? as supposed, tne cause, and the theo!r
ry that the excessive use of spirite
is a vice and moral condition is not
it vue. Great injustice and wrongs
d follow the efforts to correct this evil,
a based on these false theories, while
it a scientific study of inebriety indite
cates a definite disease, with distinct
causes, progress, and termination, the
lt same as other diseases.
o "Two marked symptoms of insaniit
ty are prominent," Dr. Crothers conS
tinued. "One is found in the periodic
? drinker, who drinks to excess for a
d short period, then abstains. This
drink period is practically an acute
mania, or insane impulse, which ren
sists all efforts of control. It is ofter
preceded by insomnia, headaches, and
10 Ereat irritability. Such persons drink
both secretly and openly, and act like
l" insane persons. The disease resemy
bles epilepsy in its sudden, convulsive
onset and the inability to breah
up or control it except by the harshl"
est measures.
e "In many cases there are distinct

" These concealed drink storms are

y professional men, and not infrequent3"
ly there is a remarkable periodity. ir
the return of the drink impulse.
" "In one instance the free interval
was exactly ninety-one days and the
lt drink storm nine days. In anothei
[a the interval was 210 days and the
0 length of the storm about five days.
n "Another large class of patients
are secret midnight drinkers, whc
lt never drink at any other time. Ofter
18 the drink i-^roxysm brings out a dif
r' ferent personality, and the patienl
'r while drinking is an entirely differ
ent character in reasoning and conduct.
"Certain atmospheric and electrical
conditions seem to be active ii

other on high elevations. One drinks
8 in certain climatcs and seasons of th<
r~ year and at no other time. Man.'
0 persons drink heavily in large citic
and are strict abstainers elsewhere
Those cases all have a marked herec

l" of them show defects and irregularl
ties of nutrition, absence of prope;
3? sleep, and strains and drains. Pneu,
ir monia, apoplexy, consumption ani
paralysis are ,the common termina
0 tions.
s "^.nother form of insanity is seer
in the constant drinker, who drinks
d daily in so-called moderation, and,
because he is not incapacitated, be
3? lieves that he is benefited. Meas s
urements by instruments of precisior

0 "Tests show that the action of alcohol
is accumulated, and both th(

"The insanity of inebriety is a med'
ical subject, and until the professior
has taught the public the f?.cts ol
this disease and the rational means
