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

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.

Keep It to Yourself.
You have trouble, your feelings
are ;injured, your home is not pleas
ant, your friends do not treat you
fairly, and things in general move
i unpleasantly. Well, what of it?
Keep it to yourself. A smouldering
fire can be found and extinguished,
but when coals are scattered, you
can't pick them up. Bury your sorrow.
The place for sad and disgusting
things is under the ground. A
cut finger is not benefited by pulling
off the plaster ana exposing it to
somebody's eye. Charity covereth a
multitude of sins. Things thus
covered are cured without a scar;
but, once published and carried to
meddling friends, there is no end
to the trouble they may cause. Keep
it to yourself. Troubles are transient;
and, when a sorrow is healed
and passed, what a comfort it is to
say: "No one ever knew it till it was
over.'' ,
