Theme: A C
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church
on the theme, "A Christian. Why?"
the pastor, the Rev. Ira Wemmell
Henderson, took as his text Acts 26:
28, "A Christian." He said:
This is the question that men who
are outside of Christ ask. This is
the inquiry that many of the best
souls- in the service of the Master
find difficulty to answer in such fashion
as to satisfy the intellects of
those who do not enjoy the same
spiritual blessings that they themselves
possess in Jesus. This is the
interrogation that we must be prepared
to grant a sane and convinjcing
reply if we are to be the workers in
the vineyard of our Lord, that He
desires us to be. We should be prepared
at all times to undergo
examination on this point. Always
must we be ready to declare the
reasons for and the reasonableness
of the faith that is within us. And
j'et now many uj. us citu, uu cue moment,
give clear, concise, argumentatlvely
upholdable grounds for our
spiritual faith. The most of us fall
back upon the assertion that -we are
Christians because we find in it the
satisfaction of our minds, our hearts,
' our souls. For us this is sufficient.
But the man who goes behind our
satisfaction is oftentimes the man
we meet and a man who always mtast
be replied to with reasonable evidence
and convicted out of the fullness
of sensible, intellectually compelling
truth. He asks what are the
grounds of our satisfaction; what is
the brand of the satisfaction that we
find glory in; why, in short, are we
at the root Christians?
A Christian. Why? And to answer
that we must look within and
without us; we must take counsel
with our souls and with the count*

must consider contemporaneous life
and we must examine history; we
must understand the spiritual and
the moral elements in man; we must
take cognizance, with care, of the
human race, everywhere and in all
time. It is not necessary that we
shall be experts upon the minute details
of the historic life of humanity.
It is essential that we shall be correct
in our judgments and that our
premises shall be valid.
A Christian. Why? Now some
men are Christians by heredity. They
are so by birth. They have grown
up in the arms of the church unquestioningly
and have taken the religion,
as they have taken the names, of
their fathers and their mothers. Far
be It from me to disparage that sort
of religious life, if so be it be full
and free and glorious to the soul of
the man who is its divinely endowed
possessor. Such a man is usually
quite abto to declare the grounds of
his belief. But there are many hereditary
Christians who can give no
enduring reasons for their religious
acceptances?I can hardly call them
convictions any ' more than some
men can reveal in intelligent fashion
cne reasons ior tneir nereauary political
affiliations. Some men are
Christians because it is politic so to
be; others because it is commercially
or politically or otherwise profitable;
and still a larger host I fear are the
nominal disciples of the Nazarene
because it is socially commendable
and wise. Some men are Christians
*' because the Bible commands such a
religious course upon those who read
its precious words. Better that sort
of reason and that kind of Christianity
than none at all. Many other
men are intellectual Christians. They
yield homage to the historic Christ;
of the vital and invigorating Savior
who fills the souls of men to-day
with blessedness and joy and beauty,
power, peace, they have no concep'
tlon. They know much concerning
Christ, but of Him they are as ignorant
as the Hottentot is of the laws
of the Medes and Persians. And all
these men cannot lead men of intellectual
and discerning force into the
very presence of the Most High as
He stands revealed to us to-day in
Jesus (jurist until tney are inaweit Dy
Jesus and are certified in their own
lives by radical evidence, rather than
by superficial, of the deepest and the
holiest influences that make the
Christian life joyous and that commend
It to the world at large.
A Christian. Why? To speak
broadly we may say that all men are
instinctively religious. Whatever
we may have been before the dawn
of history, the truth outstandingly is
this,.that normal men everywhere are
essentially religious. Men are not
equally advanced in religious information
or in the several departments
of religious thought. But irresistab1y
and indubitably we are impressed
with the fact that universally men
y are endowed with a common elemental
religious capacity and susceptibility.
Throughout all the world we
find humanity exhibiting a religious
instinct which reveals itself in the
consciousness of a spiritual relationship
with a higher power and in
obedience to certain moral regulations
that are conceived to be beneficial
to society and to the individual in
his human relationships, and satisfactory
to the higher agency that
controls the world. Everywhere men,
in the outreaching of their spiritual
i faculties, desire the intimate knowledge
of an understandable power,
which we call God. They desire to
know the truth concerning that God.
.They desire that the universal ruler
of the destinies of men shall unfold
v ' to them the wisdom residing in Himself.
They yearn with eagerness and ,
with nope unspeaKaDie ior a release
from the bondage and the dominion
of sin?that is to say, from the control
and influence of a detrimental
iorce which, whether it be understood
and expressed in the terms of objective
or of subjective experience,
is, none the less, real. Hand
in hand with the spiritual consciousness
there goes an elemental,
a growing, perception of the
actuality, the necessity and the value
of moral law as the applied truth of a
self-unfolding God; a moral law
.which in its fullest outworkings shall
mark as tangible and real the results
of the spiritual energies upon the
life of man; a moral law which, in
short, shall prove a panacea for ini
dividual and social ills.
We are Christians. Why? Simply
because in the face of human neces^
[ sity and human experience, in the
I face of the universal religious facts,
I In. the face of our own religious in|
formation, we believe, and are sure
we can demonstrate beyond peradventure,
that in Christianity there is
fet^to be found both the deepest and the
* MUest and the richest sniritual life.

Christian. Why?
and the highest and most efficient
moral law.
We are Christians, because in th?
kingdom of God as unfolded to us
in Jesus Christ we are assured t)f,
and have entered into, the certainty
of a sensible communion with a
higher power which, as an imminent,
infinite, humanly understandable,
loving personality, is revealed objectively
to us in the person of the
Master. And this personality, whom
we call God, strengthens, sustains,
comforts, consoles, inspires us, and
is constantly, both objectively and
spiritually, revealing Himself to us.
We are Christians because in Christ
and His Gospel we find the fullness
of divine truth unfolded in language
and revealed in convincing Dower in
a human life. Human wisdom cannot
comprehend larger principles of
righteousness and loftier spiritual
conceptions than are delivered to us
in the messages of Jesus, nor a
grander application of the sufficiency
of those truths for the molding of
character and the influencing of human
life than is to be perceived in
Christ.
We are Christians because within
that faith is to be found an escape
from the dominion of sin which is far
more efficient and far more sure than ,
any to be found elsewhere. Jesus
is indeed the answer of the universal
hope and of the world-wide need. In
Him the soul of the individual, and
of society, finds final release from
the power of the adversary. His sal- <
vation is free; it is universal in its 1
appeal; It is simple as to its conditions;
it requires no education of the ,
schools in order to be understood; it
is potent in this life and it reaches
out into eternity, granting to the
sin-sick, weary, burdened hearts of
men the precious promise of not only
final but also lasting deliverance
from the prince of the powers of
darkness. I
We are Christians because the (
I faith that finds its name and its in!
spiration in Jesus Christ is the reI
ceptacle of the highest moral law.
Within the treasury of Christian 1
, truth is to be found the last thing in
the application of the principles j? j
fthe eternal dominion of Jehovah vo |
the affairs of humanity in their mul- |
1 tifarious relationships. In all the !
world there is no gospel which is so
far-reaching and so mandatory, so
inclusive and so searching, as it con- 1
cerns itself with human conduct, as
is the Gospel of the Savior, when it is i
rightly accepted and properly under- i
stood. Emanating as it does from ,
God and theocentric as it is in spirit, j
it satisfies,our hearts and keeps us'
firm in the Christian faith. In it wa
recognize the handiwork of God. We
find in it the final solution, the panacea
for the dissolution of all hu- !
man ills. Uncompromising with evil 1
and declaring constantly for the pure, (
the righteous and the good, it in- :
spires our devotion. (
Greatest and best of all, we are
Christians because all that we have
received, all that we accept, all that
makes us strong and steadfast, is,
when we test it in our individual <
experience, found to be faultless. 1
The Gospel whereby we are saved,
the Christ who is our Redeemer, the (
promises which daily are mediated
to us by our Lord: all these may be
taken not without investigation, or '
upon hearsay evidence. We may try 1
the revelations of God for ourselves. 1
We have tried them. We are, there- ]
fore, Christians.

a magnet and sweep through it, and |
how it would draw to itself the invisible
particles by the mere power ,
of attraction! The unthankful heart,
like my fingers in the sand, discovers
no mercies; but let the thankful
heart sweep through the day, and as 1
the magnet finds the iron, it will find i
in every hour some heavenly blessings.

With a few extras it cost him about 1
$1000. On his way home he re- 1

Under His Wings.
Little thought is ever given to the
prevision and devotion of the mother !
bird as necessary to the very life of 1
her young, and little thought is taken 1
of the tremulous affection with which s
the Holy Spirit broods or hovers over i
sou's as necessary to their regen- ,
eration. "How excellent is Thy lov- t
ing kindness, O God!" for under the
shadow of Thy wings only could we .J
ever have come by the principle of 1
life spiritual and eternal. 1

chance to get a blessing. If I stopped
giving, I should soon get as thin as

MTL/Iv AS A FOOD.
Contains AH That is Necessary to
Keep the Ecdy in Condition.
Milk is a valuable and indispensable
article of food. It supplies to
the system all the nutriment that is
necessary to keep the body in the
best of condition. Not only may infants
and children live almost entirely
upon it, but grown people as
well.
One man lived on nothing else for
more than thirty-five years, and today
he has twice the strength of any
ordinary meat-eating man.
Too little attention is paid as a
rule to the milk that is taken into
and used in the household.
People are not sufficiently particular
about knowing that it comes from
a healthy and well kept dairy. Nor
are they careful about keeping it in
a proper place when it reaches them.
If not already bottled when received,
milk should be poured into
bottles kept expressly for this purpose
that have been cleaned with a
solution of borax and warm water,
allowed to remain in the bottle over
night and then washed out with
fresh warm water.
It is strongly advised that no milk
should be taken that is not already
bottled, but if this cannot be helped,
then treat it in this way. Fill the
bottles to the top, so that no air may
enter, then cover them tightly and
set in a cool place or on ice.
The care of milk to be fed to babies
should constitute one of the most
important features in a mother's attention
to the welfare of her little
one.
Though milk is a most valuable
food and contains all that is essential
to the nourishment of the human
infant in ordinary health, it frequently
conceals within its whiteness
the germs of disease.
Scarlet fever and diphtheria often
come through milk handled by
dairymen in whose families these diseases
exist.
Even when diseases cannot be conveyed
through milk, it is often the
case that milk received in purity
Trom a healthy cow is made to contain
disease germs through the careless
handling.
This makes it almost a necessary
precaution that all milk fed to infants
should be sterilized.
To sterilize milk means to render
it free from germs. If it is required
for immediate use this can be done
by boiling it for ten minutes in a
clean saucepan, stirring it briskly to
prevent the formation of a large
coagula.
When an infant is to be fed on
sterilized milk any water usea xo
dilute it should be boiled in a clean
saucepan before using, so as to render
the water sterile.
The bottle containing the sterilized
milk should never be opened except
when the milk is to be used. If it is
not necessary to use the entire contents
of the bottle of the bottle for
one feeding, the portion used should
remain in the sterilized bottle tightly
corked.
Skim milk contains nearly all of
the food value of the original milk,
with the exception of the fat, and
sven this may be present to the extent
of from 1-10 to 1 per cent.
It contains from 3.5 to 4 per cent.
Df protein, about 5 per cent of milk
sugar, and 8 per cent of ash or minsral
matter. Its chief value is as a
muscle making food, and hence it is
:he best food for growing chHdren or
laboring people.
Its economy as an article of diet
:an best be shown by comparing
it with othor foods. Twenty-five
:ents will purchase Cy2 times as
nuch total nutrients and five times
is much protein in skim milk at 2
onto !> nnart us in sirloin steak at 22
:ents, or four times as much nutrients
and oYi times as much protein
is mutton shoulders at 15 cents a
pound.
At the present prices the only common
food materials that will furnish
more protein for a given sum of
money than skim milk are beans,
wheat, flour, oatmeal, cornmeal and
salt codfish.
Eyelashes and Tears.
Professor Sterling in his lecture
told the audience many strange
things about their eyes. The eyelashes,
for instance, contain from
100 to 150 hairs on the upper and
Dighty- to ninety on the lower lid.
rhese hairs are replaced about every
LOO days. Tears are of three kinds,
le continued:
"1. Natural tears, the little flood
which nature secretes- in the eye to
wash away all the dust particles;
"2. Psychic tears, when flow when,
minds are for the moment unbalinced;
and,
"3. Alcoholic tears.
"Tears do not always overflow, because
there is just a litle oily secretion
along the edge of our eyelids
rvbich keeps the fluid back.
"The Japanese have a peculiar
overlapping fold, which obscures the
real edge of the eyelid. > This is why
their eyes look slanting. And babies"?all
the mothers in the room
bent forward?"have just the same
fold on their eyes if you look for it."

It is to prove whether or not in the

which practically every farmer possesses,
could be used for carrying the
ordinary twelve-pound gun in winter.
A set of the ordinary sloop
sleighs which are used by the farmer
has been built and the gun and

New York City.?Each fresh variation
of the blouse waist finds its place
and its welcome. Here is one that is
distinctly novel and that shows most
becoming and altogether satisfactory
lines,- while it is adapted to so many
materials that it becomes available
again and again. In the illustration
pongee, in one of the pretty dull blue
shades, is combined with chemisette
of cream colored lace and is trimmed
with frills of the material and with
handsome applique. But the simpler
materials of wool and even of cotton
as well as those of silk are appropriate
and the chemisette can be of lace
or in lingerie style with the trimming
almost anything that one may prefer,
while again the box pleats can be left
quite plain, when the waist becomes
almost transformed and is really extremely
simple. ?
There is a fitted lining and the
waist itself consists of the front and
the backs, with front chemisette portion.
The backs of the lining are
faced to form the back portions of the
chemisette, but the front portion is
joined to the waist, which is arranged
over the' foundation. There are box
pleats at front and back and again in
the sleeves and the frills make an exceedingly
dressy finish. When liked
deep cuffs can be added, making the
sleeves full length, and in any case
they are finished after an entirely
novel fashion at the elbows.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards
twenty-one, three yards twenty-seven
or two yards forty-four inches wide,
with five-eighth yard of all-over lace
or one and one-eighth yards if long
sleeves are used.
Linen Collar Varieties.
The variety in linen collars increases
daily. The high tufndown
embroidered collar is first favorite,
but there is a straight standing collar,
also embroidered, of which Parisians
are fond. This is usually worn
with one of the narrow lingerie ties
hand embroidered at the ends. Plain
linen oollars with the narrow fluted
borders in pink or blue or green are
among the French novelties.
Brown Veil 6.
With an all brown costume or with
any brown hat the veil should as
nearly as possible be of the same
color. When, however, brown is
worn with another shade, as red or
green, the veil should be selecteS
with some references to the furs, for
with black furs on a red or green
suit a brown veil might bring in too
many contrasts.

New Lace Ties.
Lace is more fashionable than
ever, and the soft lace ties, bows and
jabots are immensely becoming and
extremely popular. A band of Valenciennes
insertion, with a narrow
edge to match, makes a charming tie,
the ends finished with a wide ruffle
of the same lace. Valenciennes and
the fine laces are the most used for
this fashion.
Onyx and Amber.
Onyx has come into favor with
fashionable women, being fastened
into round, massive bracelets like
those antique armlets which the
women of Rome and Greece used to
wear. Lapis lazuli, amber, jade and
nephrite are among the old-new
stones that tempt women to empty
their pocketbooks to add new coquetries
to the toilet.
Fancy Blouse.
The demand for the fancy blouse is
ever present. It is constantly appearing
in some new and effective guise
and it is so thoroughly becoming, so
thoroughly satisfactory a garment
that each one meets with hearty welcome.
Illustrated is one of the latest
that is really most charming and
that is adapted to all seasonable materials,
while it allows a choice of the
elbow or full length sleeves. In the
illustration chiffon voile, in one of
the new shades that is known as rose
of the Alps, is trimmed with bands
of taffeta in matching color and with
fancy buttons and is combined with a
yoke of cream colored lace over
chiffon. The whole effect is an exceedingly
charming one and the
blouse is simple at the same time that
it is novel. The effect of the lace
over chiffon is always dressy and
charming, but there is ample opportunity
for the exercise of individual
discretion in the selection of materials.
The yoke might be made from
any pretty inserted lingerie material
or from a tucked or embroidered silk,
or, indeed, from almost anything in
contrast that may be liked. ,
The waist is made over a fitted lining
and itself consists of front and
backs. It is laid in pin tucks at the
centre front and from the shoulders
with two wide ones at their outer
edges and over these wide ones the
quite novel trimming straps are arranged.
There also are trimming
portions arranged over the fronts and
the yoke and the closing is made invisibly
at the back. The sleeves are
of moderate fulness and are finished
with turned over cuffs whether they
are cut off at the shoulders, or extended
to the wrists.
