TS> IHh <PUL<P1<I. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. G. H. EGGLESTON. Subject: The Measure of Duty. Jersey City, N. J.?Preaching at the Greenville Reformed Church, Jersey City, on the above theme, the Rev. Q. H. Eggleston, pastor, toolc Luke 17:10: "We are unprofitable servants, we have done that which it was our duty to do," as his text. He said: In the'vocabulary of Christianity I +V.A onnnAmA TT'Ar^ nnOrOtinC IUYD id IUC OUpicmc It Ui U. MV.MQ in life it becomes the supreme law. It is so because it was supreme in the life of Jesus. Eut outside the religion of Jesus, duty is perhaps the conJ spicuous word. Upon duty the nonChristian heart, lays extreme emphasis. Duty, interpretated in terms of the best each age could produce, has been the ideal of life. To-day the very atmosphere is surcharged, as by an electric current, with the importance of faithfulness to duty. That which is in the air of the age is made tangible continuous ly from pulpit and from press, in school and club and home. Ministers and teachers, leaders in business and v In civic life, are pleading for the enthronement of duty in human hearts. Public sentiment, finding expression in courts and investigations and laws, is being aroused in the interest of 'duty. Traitors to duty are being branded at their true worth. We admire the devotion to duty in that rising nation of the East which characteristically found expression in the speech of the captain ;of the Japanese battleship Asama, who said to his men as they drank in tura from a cup of cold water, bidding each other a last good-bye: "In ctAnrifncr von on the dutv of block ing the harbor entrance of Port Arthur?a duty which affords you only one chance out of a thousand to return alive?I feel as if I were sending my beloved sons. And if I had a hundred eons I would send them all on such a bold adventure as this; and had I only one son I should wish to do the tame with him. In performing your duty, if you happen to lose your left hand, work with your right; if you I089 both hands, work with both feet; if you lose both feet, work with your head, and faithfully carry out the orders of your commander. wnat l asK ol you an its iu uu juui duty regardless of your life. The cup of water I now offer you is not meant to "give you courage. It would be shameful if our men needed courage to go to the place of death. It Is only to make you representatives of the honor of the Asama. Submit your life to the will of Heaven, and calmly perform your duty." That is the utterance of the spirit of the age, crystallized in those nations that stand in the vanguard of progress. It is the emphasis upon duty. Do we realize what that spirit would mean if we had it beating in the life blood of the Christian church? It would mean the purification of our ideals. It would mean the strengthening of the Church of Jesus in work and worship. It would mean the broadening of our vision so we could Bee the brotherhood of man. If that loyalty to the duty of patriotism which is characteristic of the best citizens could be translated into terms of the moral and religious, It would mean that the message of the Cross, love, service and sacrifice, would find expression in every life. .What a result if Christtan3 and the Christian church would do its bare duty! But Is It being done? Nominally this is a Christian country. 'And yet the deadly child labor in all its horror exists in this country. It could not exist if the united Christian church should say it shall not. Nominally a Christian country, and yet the sale of the stuff that kills men and women physically, mentally and morally, that destroys domestic happiness and undermines tbe stability of our nation, goes on. It could not be so, were It not sanctioned and protected by the sentiment and power of Christian naonle. But whv the need of citing illustrations of that which we all know? The conclusion is clear. There are those who, though faithful to duty in home and in private life, when it comes to moral issues affecting the welfare of humanity at large, are afflicted with myopia or indifference. Can it be that the cup of cold water tasted by met: of a pagan religion contains a greater Inspiration to the performance of duty in the face of danger, than does the sacred brotherhood of the Christian church? They touch tfteir lips to the cold water; then face duty unflinchingly, though it cost hand, or foot, or life. So the +nto Phrlottan frnm time tr? tlmp I touches his lips to the wine of the Communion in pledge of his loyalty to the Master and in memory of the love of that Master. So the majority gain therein the inspiration that sets their face unflinchingly toward duty without thought of what it may cost. There are many who flinch. These break the solid phalanx of the Christian army, and so put off the day of victory over evil. Many to whom a dollar is of more worth than a moral principle. Many to whom their own personal well-being counts for more than a needv brother or sister. Manv I to whom gold is of greater value than the welfare of their fellowraen. Many of whom it may be said, it requires only a little thing?not the loss of a hand or foot?only a little hurt to the feelings, only a little injury to the pride, only some little thing which they have interpretated as a slight, only a little demand for sacrifice of material comfort, and they throw their duty to the Christian church to the winds?and sometimes their loyalty to the Master goes with it. It is this unfaithfulness on the part of a few in every i church to the obligations which every Christian assumes when he unites with the Church of Jesus, that makes it impossible for the Christian church to exert the influence for righteous ness that is its duty. I in view or me iaa iiisl su uuui fall short of doing their bare dut>. dare we state the ideal of the Chris tian religion, or will it be so lofty a to discourage us in our humble of forts? No! We will set before in th-9 ideal which Jesus gave to life, and It will be the means of inspiring us to greater effort. Jesus aske of His followers more than mere duty, noble as that is. If there had been no Jesus, no Gospel, if Confucius and Socrates and Buddha were the greatest, then duty would have been the supreme word. Bi?*, because Jesus Himself in His life took that final step beyond the point of bare duty, it has become forever obli B^featory upon the followers of the man Nazareth to take that final step in mH^Bervice. Je~us did it. He overS^Ktepped the bounds of naked duty. made a new standard. The story "7BK: of that precious life of lova and ser? vice, the martyr's death upon the cruel Cross, for twenty centuries has touched the hidden depths of human hearts. Why? Because love took a step beyond duty. Jesus put His new standard of service in Christian life in the words of which our text is a part. Jesus causes the servants who had been faithful to every detail of their duty, to say: "We are unprofitable servants, we have done that which was our duty to do." Listen! Not profitable servants because they had done their whole duty, but unprofitable be cause they bad done only their duty. What a transformation of values was that! No one ever heard such teaching before. The wise men of all ages and all races never said anything like that. They all taught that duty was the supreme thing. Nothing greater. A man was to be commended when he did his duty. But Jesus takes the final step into the realm beyond the point of dsty, and bids us follow. We are unprofitable servants, for we have done only our duty. What does it meas? It means that a man is not a man unless he does his duty. It means that the very least a man can do and maintain his respect in the sight of God and his own conscience is to do his duty. That is, the least a person can do according to the teaching and life of Jesus: not the most, as the worldly pagan philosophers would have us believe?and some of the Christians also. For the fulfillment of the obligations of home and of life, of morality, of brotherhood, of religion and the church, no praise is deserved. These r.re duties. We are unprofitable servants if we have done only what we are compelled to do. Christian duty is not measured by demand, or opportunity, or even by ability. This is partially realized in the world of business. The young man who does only what is absolutely required of him, is not the one wno succeeas ana wins xne employer's commendation. He who does more than bis duty is the one who forges ahead. He never gets wry far or becomes of great value to life who does only what passing opportunity permits him to do. But he who hustles to find opportunities, and if they are not forthcoming makes them, is the one who gives worth to life. It is even thus in religious life and work. We are unprofitable servants in the sight cf God, if we have done only that which it was our duty to do, and have never tasted the depths of sacrifice. Sometimes we do not realize it; nevertheless it is true that not even ability limits duty. That seems strange. Is a man ever asked to do more than apparently he is able to do? Yes. Jesus did not limit duty by a poor mortal's ability. The power of the omnipotent uoa was tne limn, ana that power is illimitable. Does It seem impossible to break that habit, that sin, which has been undermining your moral constitution and throttling your spiritual life? You say you are not able to do it. The obligation to do it still exists. Does it seem impossible for the Christian church to conquer the evil in the world and bring the message of the Master to all mankind? Often we hear Christians say, "It cannot be done." But# the obligation is still there. Christian duty is measured by human need. Wherever there is need of help; wherever there is need of reform; wherever in this harsh world there is need of sympathy and love; wherever strong hands are needed to lift sinning humanity from the depths* and brave hearts to carry the message of the Cross into darkness. There is the duty of the Christian church?at home or abroad, in public or in private life, it matters not. It avails nothing to say we are not equal to such a herculean task. The need is the measure of Christian duty, not what we think to be our ability. Jesus said, Give the multitude something to eat, and He opened the way. God said to Israel, Go forward across the sea, and the waters parted. As we gird ourselves to obey the command of the infinite God to go forward against the impossible, there sounds in our ears those splendid helpful words, "My strength isufficient for thee. Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Fidelity to the Master means the taking of the step one point beyond the limit of the ordinary conception of duty?even to the point of sacrifice. William Carey took that step when he left his homeland and faced the terrors of India into which no white man had ever nenetrated with the Gospel. According to no standard of conduct the world then recognized was it his duty thus to throw his life into jeopardy. Clara Barton took it, as she staunched the flowing blood upon the battle fields. John Paton took it, when he faced the cannibals of the South Sea Islands. According to what standard of conduct was it that hero's duty to remain among that beastly people after* he had seen five of his fellow missionaries butchered and eaten; after he had, with his own hands, close by the corner of the house in the coral beds, dug the grave for his dear wife and little one, victims of the terrible fever, according to what standard of conduct was it his duty to stand alone among those heathen peoples? None that the world knew. Ah, but the noble man, so lately gone to his reward, was living by the standard of that one who bore the world's sin and sorrow, and whose loving -heart was broken one gloomy night in Gethsemane?Jesus of Nazareth, who gave to life the new standard of conrlnpf thu now rnnpont ir?n nf rlntv rooted in love. Paton tells us in his wonderful auto-biography that it was God's strength alone made him sufficient for these things. In his own words, "But for Jesus aud the fellowship He vouchsafed me there, I must have gone mad and died beside that lonely grave." Christian duty is made potent by the will of man, aud by the power of God. Tlie human will plus the Divine power makes it possible to take that step. Not, What I can, I will; hut What T will T ran Ynn re>nif>m her when James and John were making their requests of the Master, Jesus inqui red of them if they thought they could he baptized with the baptism of His life. They said. Wo can. Jesus said. Ye shall. Thus it is for Christians to say, when sin threatens in the personal life, when the work of the Master for His church and for humanity, needs their help: Yea, Master, you ca count on me. I will; I can. Face to face with the vision of the ideal of wbat we ought to be and do. it is a noble person who says, I will, I can. To such a one shall be added the words of the Master, Ye shall. When we perceive what wo ought t-> do, and make up our minds we will do it, the power for its accomplishment will come, even as it came to Israel by the Red Sea, and to the 5 000 on Galilee's shove. OUR TEMPERANCE COLUMN. REPORTS OF PROGRESS OP THE BATTLE AGAINST RUM. The Burden of the Liquor Curse?A Problem Which Demands the Earnest and Thoughtful Attention of All Patriotic Citizens. Many great problems confront our people, moral, social, political, financial, sanitary, scientific, all pressing earnestly for solution. None, how ever, demands more earnest or thouehtful attention on the part of the patriotic, intelligent citizen than the temperance question. Economically it is of the first magnitude. The Corn Belt estimates that in 1900 there were 661,554 persons engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquor in the United States. This vast army was withdrawn from productive labor, allowed to prey upon the public, degrading others and lessening their industrial efficiency, destroying a vast amount of wholesome food products and having their families supported by others, all without rendering any valuable return, and in spite of the harm they were doing. According to the United States Statistical Abstract' there were consumed in the United States'in 1905, 1,694,392,765 gallons of liquor of all kinds, or 20.38 gallons per capita. Only eleven or twelve million gallons of this were used in the arts and manufactures. The direct cost of this liquor?that Is, the amount paid by the consumer ?was not less than $1,500,000,000, and the indirect cost?that is, the cost of crime, pauperism, Insanity, idiocy, loss of productive labor, shortened lives, etc.?was at least $1,000,000,000 more, making a total of fully $2,500,000,000 (twenty-five hundred million). Rev. Dr. J. B. Dunn, late General Secretary of the National Temperance Society, estimated the total cost at $2,678,504,864. Other authorities place it lower. The figures first given are probably not far from correct and, while an estimate, are based upon Government reports and other wide generalizations. Estimating our population at 80,-000,000, this harmful and useless thing costs directly and indirectly more than $30 per capita, or $150 to every family in the United States. This seems almost incredible and is entirely beyond comprehension. The entire internal revenue receipts from this source for 1905 were $186,319,066, and the customs receipts?that is, tfhe duty paid on imported liquors ? were $12,097,799, making the total receipts of the General Government from this source $198,416,865. If we add to this $100,000,000 for State, municipal and county license, it gives a gross sum of $298,416,865. From tnis we must aeauct iue cu?i I of collection, which, for the internal revenue, was 1.85 per cent, of receipts, and for the customs receipts 3.48 per cent. Summing it all up, it is safe to say that the liquor traffic cost more than eight times what .it paid, to say nothing of the moralruin which it wrought and the untold misery which it caused. An Organized Foe.?There are five great" liquor organizations in the United States: 1. The United States Brewers' Association. 2. The National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association. 3. The National Retail Liquor Dealers' Association. 4. The National Protective Bureau. 5. The German-American Alliance. These five organizations are, of mnrsf!. in leaeue and usually supply men, money and literature in every local contest where there is a possibility of the saloon being defeated. A Mighty Army. In the United States, working among the thirteen and a quarter' million of boys and girls in the Sunday-schools, are about one and a quarter million (1,225,000) officers i and teachers. Opposed to these aro the retail and wholesale liquor dealers of the Nation. Last year Uncle, Sam issued 250,494 retail liquor licenses. It is not over-estimating the number to say that an average of five employes go with each license, which gives, with the owners, 1,502,964 as the total of the army operatine aeainst the Sunday-school worker for the life of the boys- and girls. This does not include the army of satellites to be found as "hangerson" and procurers with the dens of vice and infamy which abound not only in every large city, but in many of the rural communities.?Rev/ Nathan Bailey. Old Idea Passing Away. Says the Duluth News Tribune:.' "So it is that the old South, or the old ideas of the South and its convivial gentlemen, must be relegated to history, if not to tradition. It may once have been the chief ambition of the aristocracy of that region to prove the cordiality of its good fellowship and of its hospitality by the amount of liquor it could dispose of, but it is so no longer. The South is to-day the abode of temperance." Closfrf Saloons Make Emoty Jails. "Charles Routte, Deputy Sheriff, says since the saloons are closed we are almost out of business down at the jail. There are only a few prisoners, and most of them do not belong to the city." This clipping was cut from the Bloomington (Ind.) Telephone, aud helps swell the list of testimonials in favor of getting aloug without saloons. Brewers Make Assessments. The brewers of Texas haver assessed themselves thirty cents per barrel, amounting to $99,350, to push Hie campaign against local prohibition in that State. Texas is now three-fourths prohibition, and the other quarter is rapidly on the way. CrusAdo Against Saloons. The crusade against the all-night saloon is on in Richmond. Good men everywhere are rejoicing in this campaign. Death I'Yoin Alcohol. During the past thirty years there died in Europe, as the result of alcoholic drinking, 7,500,000 people. This is more than died as the result of all the wars of the whole nineteenth century. They Go Together. "Any bottles? Any rags?" 'Queer combination you deal in, my friend." "Not so queer.

It consists of a sphere divided into halves, and the halves again divided into a number of segments. The sphere is supported on wires on a frame, the individual section being prevented from rotating, but can, nevertheless, be moved and separated from each other. The sphere can be quickly divided into halves, quarters and eighths, and the pupil given a practical demonstration of what seems to him an intricate problem.? Washington Star.

Where "Robinson Crusoe" Was Written. Referring to our article on "Robinson Crusoe's Island" in the October number, it is interesting to learn that the house in which Defoe penned his immortal classic is still standing, near Mitcham, in Surrey. Our illustration depicts the back of Defoe's residence, and the second window from the ground at left of photograph still lights the room in which youth's favorito romance was born.?From "The Captain."
