The Religious Life.
,__?ro?yyn? N. Y.?Preaching at the
irving square hresDyterian L'hurcn
on the theme "The Religious Life,"
the pastor, the Rev. Ira Wemmell
Henderson, took as his text Deut.
8:3, "Man doth not live by bread only,
bu4 by everything that proceedeth
out of the mouth of the Lord doth
man live." He said:
The one thing most necessary in
the life of the individual and of society
is religion. A man may exist
in the possession of all the temporal
and material aids to comfort and to
the satisfaction of the natural man,
but he never begins really to live
until he is conscious of the divine
personality and recognizes the validity
of the divine control. A man may
exist without a thoroughgoing sense
of the reality and the control of "the
Divinity that shapes our ends," but
he only is alive when he gains a consciousness
of God and of his accountability
and infinite indebtedness to
Him.
In our day too many men are drifting
from the religious life, too many
are endeavoring to live without a
controlling sense of the reality of
God, too many are endeavoring to
live as though God were non-existant
and as though He were entitled
to do authority over their lives. Many
good men, confusing ecclesiasticism
with religion, and uncomprehending
of the vast difference that there often
is, though to be'sure there should not
be, between church membership and
the Christian life, have turned and
are turning, altogether too commonly
for the peace of mind of the church
of the living God, away from organized
religious systems primarily and
from any sort of religious observance
at all. Gazing upon the hopeless
insincerity of many Christians
and the stupid indifference of many
churches to the needs of society and
the demands of the times, as contrasted
with the beauty and the universal
interest of the God-man and
His Gospel, upon whose character and
truth the Church is founded, men
. have misjudged Christianity by its
misrepresenting fruitage, and, in
numbers that annoy us, have turned
from religion entirely. Contemplating
the sins of individuals in the
church, they have permitted their
eyes to be withholden from the discernment
of the truth that the personality
and the pronunciamentoes of
Jesus Christ as the oracle of God are
the leaven that most surely could
transform their own lives and effect
a transformation in the social order
of which they are a part. Many bad
men, with the determination not to
know or to serve God under any conditions,
utterly are neglectful of the
claims of the religious life upon
their higher natures. They turn from
religion because they are willfully
desirous to be the followers of the
devil rather than the servants of
God.
< Many men have turned from organized
religion because of intellectual
difficulties. Some of these
have gone out of the church to follow
the bent of their peculiar and
personal religious conceptions and
convictions; some have turned to
philosophy and have deified man as
sufficient unto himself; still others
have to their entire satisfaction
eliminated God from the scheme of
things.
In spite of the attitude of a host of
men, however, a true religious life is
as necessary to the welfare of humanity
as are fresh air and pure food
and the creature comforts that we
desire, need and strive so persistently
to secure. No man is well rounded;
no man has realized the possibilities
of manhood; no man is complete;
no man is really alive until
lie is alive unto God. And no man
has sounded the limits of the capacities
of his own being until he has enjoyed
a knowledge of the highest revelation
of the character of God that is
in the world to-day.
A true religious life ought to appeal
to every man first, because it is
reasonable; secondly, because it is
spiritually real; thirdly, because it is
ethically influential.
The true religious life is reasonable.
It does no damage to our good
sense, and it commends itself to our
judgment. It does not shock our
ideas of the fitness of things. It satisfies
our intellects. Man, in the wisdom
of God, is an intelligent being;
he possesses mental qualities that are
fundamental in his make-up. Men
must be convinced of the reasonableness
of things before they can have
any lasting hold upon them. That
which is intellectually unsatisfying
or that will not stand the tests applied
by the minds of men, they reject.
Man does not demand that
he shall be able to exhaust
every subject which comes under the
province or Ms intellect, but lie does
demand that, whether or no he is
able to explain all the things in
which, as a rational being, he holds
ah interest, he shall at least be able
to discern in them the evidences of
reasonableness. Religion appeals to
the mind of man. Not because he is
able to sound all the depths of religious
philosophy or of religious truth
or to explain all the manifold wonders
of religious experience, but because
there is in religion that which
is intellectually reasonable and satislying.
No religious system that is
worthy of attention holds the respect
of humanity for long unless it be fir*t
of all of no damage to our sense of
tho fitness of things. The true religious
life commends itself to our best
jijdgment and in the recognition of
its imperatives we find rest and joy.
The true religious life is transcendantly
and delightfully real. It is not
susceptible, perhaps, to arithmetical
or geometrical demonstration. We
are not able to prove it in its speculative
and abstract phases by the ter
mlnoiogy or tne experiences or ttie
senses altogether but it is none the
less real. Laying bold as it does
upon tbe divine, it is simply inexplicable
in all its outreachings through
tk? medium of finite speech. As true
it is that tongue cannot tell of the
glorious realities of the spiritual life
as it is that the tongue has not yet
told the fullness of the glories of
that richer life that is yet to be. But
though the tongue may be unable to
explain it all or to reveal in finite
language the infinite experiences of
the spiritual life it is none the less
real. The spiritual religious life is
the result of experience. It is experience.
It is just as exact and
scientific in its way and just as ex
jjerxuieiiiai, ui^ouvai auu ausucii'i
though it be, as any other scientific
discipline. It cannot, of course, be
demonstrated by the exepriences of
the physicist alone, or by the ter
minology of the geologist alone, or
t>y the rules of the algebraic formu
| lae. But it has its own laws. Its
own characteristics may he scientifically
tabulated. Its experiences maj
be classified. Its reality may he investigated
and proven by any openminded.
open-hearted man who wil]
place himself within the realm of its
manifestations and permit himself
to be moved upon by its influences.
It is spiritually real.
Then, too, the true religious life
such as has been revealed unto us
in Jesus Christ is ethically influential.
It takes hold of the conduct
of the man, and whereas he was before
satisfied with lax and easy regulations
for the ordering of his personal
and social life, it leads him past
all that is superficial and insufficient
hiiu jess luau vYuuuy nguteuus, oicp
by step into such a recognition of
the claims of God and of humanity
upon his life that he is soon satisfied
with nothing hut the best in manners
and morals, and is continually testing
himself by an increasing measure
to find whether or no he is worthy
of the approval of Almighty God.
his King. The real religious life that
was practiced by our Lord and Savious
Jesus Christ is a life that is
militant in the life of the man seven
days a week. It is no week-end
religion. It is a force from the first
stroke of the midnight chime on
Saturday night to the precise moment
when another week having gone ringing
down the grooves of the past the
bells shall boom again another midnight
note. It declares to men the
reality of the divine authority and
the insistency of human accountability
to Him. It leads the soul into
a larger recognition of the claims of
personality and inspires humanity to
square itself with the claims of society
upon the individual life.
The true religious life in Jesus is
as vital in national affairs as it is in
individual. We do not need In our
times more churches or a larger organization.
What we need most is
that the present organization and the
nroaonf r>hnrr?hps shall make the re
ligion of the Loi*ci Jesus Christ to he
felt and realized as a vital force in
all departments of our national life.
The true religious life is the medium
whereby comfort, joy, hope and
courage are mediated in divine fashion
to the human soul. In no other
life is comfort so satisfyingly given.
In no other life is the joy that humanity
so largely needs so truly
ministered. Here is our highest hope.
Here we drink deep of courage and
are most endued for conflict against
principalities and powers and panoplied
effectually for the conquering
of sin.
The greatest mistake in the world
is for a man to reject the privileges,
the prerogatives, the appeals of the
religious life. For the soul without
God is not alive. Only in the consciousness
of His reality and in willing
subjection of self to Him do we
live. The live man-is the one who
lives within God through the grace
and love revealed and mediated in
our Lord Jesus Christ.
A Change of Raiment.
Oh, what a change, when the filthy
garment which is defiled with sin is
taken off, the garment which is defiled
with sin, and you are robed in
the garment of salvation that God
will give every one that will come to
Him?give a change of raiment. Old
things will pass away, and behold all
things will become new?a new creature,
a new life. You begin to live.
Also the old relationsnips, oia associates,
will pass away with the old
life. There will be a new relationship,
a heavenly and holy conversation.
A change of raiment within
and without. You will not be known
as the same person. "Unknown and yet
well known." (2Cor;6:9.) Wellknown
as a Christian, yet unknown?misunderstood
by such who used to understand
you so well. "I will clothe thee
with a change of raiment," therefore
"Keep yourself unspotted from the
world;" "Be ye separate saith the
Lord * * * and I will receive
you and will be a father unto you,
and ye shall be My sons and daughters
saith the Lord Almighty." (2
Cor. 6-17, 18.)?F. L. Wismer, in
Gospel Herald.
Every Road Leads to Jesus.
A young man just starting upon
his work in the ministry was one day
talking to an aged minister in London.
who had spent a lifetime in the
service. The young man said, "You
have a great deal of experience; you
know many things that I ought to
learn. Can't you give me advice to
carry with me in my new duties?"
"Yes, I can," was the response. "I
will give you a piece of advice. You
know that in every town in England,
no matter how small, in every hamlet,
though it be hidden in the folds
of the mountains or wrapped round
by the far-off sea, in every clump of
farmhouses, you can find a road
which, if you will follow it, will take
you to London. Just so every text
you shall choose to preach from the
Bible will have a road that leads to
Jesus. Be sure you find that road and
follow it; be careful not to miss it
once. This is my adyice to you."
The Soul Winner's Equipment.
Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:
15.) This is the call to every ChrisTliof
liail lO L)? liliCU Wliu iuc uyuii.. iuBk
is what is needed to-day. Only
those who are filled with the Spirit
can be soul winners. To be filled
is the privilege of ail. Christians
are known by their fruits. "Without
Me ye can do nothing" (Jno. 15:
5). It is as impossible to live the
Christian life without the Holy Spirit
as to live natural life without air.
There must be an emptying of all
else before there can be a real filling.
Holiness must prevail. The little
sins if tolerated will hinder the Spirit
from having full sway. This is
not only a privilege for every Christian,
but a duty; for it is a command:
"Be filled with the Spirit."
?C. B. Styers.
Drawing Men.
The holiness of Christ did not awe
men away from Him, nor repel them.
It inspired them with hope. It was
noi inai vulgar, uuappiuauiauic saui.tity
which makes men awkward in its
presence, and stands aloof. Its peculiar
characteristic was that it made
men enamored of goodness. It "drew
all men unto Him." This is the difference
between greatness that is
first rate and greatness which is second
rate ? between heavenly and
earthly goodness. The second rate
and earthly kind draws admiration
on itself. You say, "How great an
act?how good a man!" The first
rate and the heavenly imparts itsell
?inspires a spirit.

Design of Pansics.
Ab the season advances needlewomen
and workers of linen find
some peculiar design which captivates
the feminine fancy. No flower,
as a rule, lends itself more beautifully
than the pansy, and it is a joy
as a centrepiece on pure white linen.
A design seen recently is an individual
one, having been made by a
clever flower artist. The edge of
this centre cloth is composed partly
of scallops and partly of pansies. The
flowers are executed in nature's own
colors, while the scallops are of pure
white, worked in a heavy silk. The
stems of the blossoms extend toward
the centre and are of delicate green,
as in the living plant.
Fitted JLimng.
The plain fitted basque or lining
makes the foundation for so many
blouses and waists that its uses are
almost numberless. Here is one that
can be utilized in an infinite variety
of ways and that is cut to give the
latest and most fashionable lines to
the figure. ' When such a lining or
basque Is fitted exactly to the figure
it becomes an easy matter to cut, fit
and arrange almost any sort of over
blouse or drapery upon this foundation
and wise women, bearing this
fact in mind, are careful that a per
fectly fitting one snail always De ai

Is made with high neck and long
sleeves and Is closed at the front, but
It can be made to close at the back,
It can be cut out to form a low, round
or square neck or the half low or
square neck, it can be cut longer or
shorter over the hips and allows of
the three lengths of sleeves, so that
really every possible contingency is
provided for. AH lining materials
can be utilized for the foundation,
although a firm one is always to be
desired.
The basque is made with fronts
and side-fronts, backs and side-backs
and under-arm gores. There is a
stock collar that completes the necli,
and the sleeves are made in two por
