THE PULPIT. ??1 r-t nAtirMT enur\AV CCBMAM RV CLUWUCiX I vji_. .... w . ? . THE REV. JA3T0N NOBLE PIERCE. Theme: Christ's Example. Brooklyn. N. Y.?At the Puritan I Congregational Church the new pas- : tor, the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce, preached Sunday morning on "The I Examples of Christ." He said: My subject this morning is found in John 13:15: "For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you." If you put that right in its setting it would be natural to wonder whether the example Jesus gave involves the girding of the towel and the taking of the basin and performing the service of love that He fr\y? TJio icrnnloc TtrViofhpr pcnui UICU IUI liio Utwviv?vw, ,.uvvMw His esamnle is literal in its setting. It is not strange that certain branches of the church have in different times held that His esamnle was to be taken literally; that He instituted an ordinance as truly as the ordinance of baptism or the Lord's supper. And so, even down to the present day, there are some churches that literally believe in the washing of the feet as a religious act. From 1330 to 1630 the sovereigns of England were accustomed to literally carry out this example of the Lord, and indeed down to the present day it is not unusual for the imperial ruler of Russia to have the aristocracv seek outgoers who are aged and infirm and helpless and wash their feet as Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. On every Thursdav in Holy Week the Pope, not In the simplicity that Jesus had. but with great nomp and splendor, and in the eyes of the multitudes on a high platform where he can be seen by all, washes the feet of twelve of the old est men that ran be found. But the natural ouery is. why do it once a year, if it is really an example to be followed, and whv does only one person follow it instead of everybody? you and me? And if you turn back to your orieinal testament you find the words "like a?"?"that ye should do like *?s I have done for you," and yon realize that J>sus is not instituting an ordinance, but He is. by a loving and kind a^t. of ministry, teaching an ideal and teacbiner it by example. He micht have talked about it and the words would have gone in one ear and out of the other, but no one of those present could ever forget His example, and I venture to sav that. ??e lnnf nc hp did In his last day he still felt the influence cf the Master's teaching as stronely as he did on the day when the Master washed his feet. Jesns' whole life is an example, is It not? We find other peonle that are examples. I can turn to the Old Testament and studv Job, and say that he was an examnle of jfcitience. or to the life of Abraham, and say that he Is a perfect example of faith. I turn to impetuous Peter, and I say there is a man of fervor: or to John, and see the nerfect example of John, the loving disciple, and wonder if we shall ever grow into the love of John. These men are examples in part, in some things, in one or a few characteristics, but Jesus was a perfect example?complete. If you are speaking of faith. He is nerfect; if of patience. He is nerfect: if you sneak of fervor, or of love, or of humility, of dignity, or of nower. or of any qual ity of the heart, you find that Jesus is perfect, the one supreme, nerfect example. You and I know It is one of our human failings to look at people and imitate them. How quick the child is to discern. Did you never see a little girl who spoke not only the same words that her mother did. but with just the same intonation? If the mother says a thing with a little sharpness, so does the daughter. I think nothing in all this world is so auick to discern the things they see as a little child, and not only to discern them, but to imitate them. If Jesus had handed down His Sermon on the Mount just as a document given by an unseen hand, it never would have had the resonance, the clearness and the power that it has when we see it coming from the lips of the Man whom we almost can see because His followers really did see Him. You do not take any reasoning of Jesus apart from Himself. You and I need to un derstand Jesus, and need to follow His example, because other people are following our example. Here is a little boy in the Sunday-school, and the teacher says, "John, you ought to grow up into a true, noble manhood, and be an example for others." John cannot help being an example. I cannot stand here this morning and say vou ought to be examples; you are, and you cannot get away from it. You may not want people to look at you, but you cannot shut their eyes. There is not a person here this morning who is not, unconsciously as well as consciously, leading the thoughts and impulses of other people. You are examples. "What kind of examples are you? What kind of an example are we Christian people? In think one of the most wondeful men was Paul. He wrote to the Galatians, and he said: "Brethren, I beseech you be as I am." Now a good many of you are looking at me and saying: "Here is our. new pastor. I wonder what kind of a man he is really going to prove to be." "What kind of a man would you think I am if I should say in utter seriousness: "Members of Puritan Church, I beseech you be as I am. Look it me, behold me. Be as I am." Why, that is what the apostle wrote to his congregation. He sent another letter to the Philippians, in which he said: "Those things wftich ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace shall be with,you." Is there a school teacher here that would dare to say: "II you oniy ao wnai your xeacner does; if you only look at my life and follow my example, the God of peace will be with you." In th:ee of his epistles Paul wrote: "Be followers of me." What a presumptuous man! Is there a father in this audience that wishes his son to be just like him? Or is th?re a mother that wishes her littie child that God has given her, to be just like her? God knows that every parent says: "Oh, that my child may be better than I am." What, then, is the secret of this man's wonderful courage? You will find it in what he said to the Corinthians: "Be ye followers of me, even as 1 am also of Christ," and he dared to say it, and he was right, because he knew that his life was close to God. The first time 1 preached in this pulpit several weeks ago i went out the next day from this city to a neighboring place and visited the homes of people who traveled extensively, and I talked with the mistress of that mansion who had spent some time in personally visiting the people who took parts in the Passion Play at Oberammergau. She did not go to the play, but she went afterward in their homes, and I shall never forget the incidents she related. She went to the home of the man who took the part of Jesus Christ. She saw his wire first, awl after making known her errand the husband was summoned, and this woman said that the very moment he entered the room she could not repress the feeling that she was in tbo presence of Jesus. His ViJe* Tt?1> rv m rmn OV wuuit; ai?prcuaiac, mo u uuio uuvuuvi conveyed the lifelike impression o! Jesus. And this not when he was on exhibition, but when he was summoned from his workshop into the house, without knowing that anyone was there or why he came. And the wife told my hostess that she believed her husband was absolutely perfect: that he had so studied the life of .Tesus: that he had so put his heart into every part of it; that he had so striven to perfect himself in playing the part of Jesus, not only on the cross, but off the cross, and that he had. so far as she knew in the intimacy of family life, mastered life and overcome every temptation, and in 11 earnestness and humility she said she did not know one single thing in all I his life that was not just as she would j like to have it. Husband, can your wife say that? It shows, dear friends, I the possibility of living so near Christ that His example and life, not in its srlorified nerfection. but in the pure uess of heart, shall enable us to put every sin under our feet. Now, friends, if it is possible to follow Jesus' example as literally as that, is it not necessary to riie to it when so many people are following your example? Why did Jesus wash His disciples' feet? Not because it was necessary, nor because it was an Oriental custom. I think He washed their feet because He saw that the disciples were too proud to do it for one another. It takes a manly character to do a menial task. I fancy that if we tried to imitate some of Jesus' examples, we would find that it would be better to go apart into a mountain and pray and come down to the original channels of life and love strengthened before vfe could do the acts of service that Jesus did. I believe that He did it because He saw that His disciples did not yet understand or comprehend the ideal that He came to establish. What is the law, the ideal, -the essential of God's kingdom? I know?that some would say that it is love. That is the right answer if you understand what love is. It is not merely a love tha+. contemplates and does nothing; that is well disposed and stons there. If you think that you are obeying His commandment to tove your neighbor when you do notrhate him, you have not got the ideal of Jesus. Love that is love at all finds its expression in service. The mother toils late into the night that her boy may be neatly dressed and educated. That is the mother's love. If God only loved us by only looking on us complacently, deliver me from that love. But what wonders hath He not wrought; what hath He not done for us that we might have life, joyful lives' an<i useful lives? If you are going to love, von mnet qsrvo anrt T venture to com mend that definition of service which says that it is the fundamental rule of God's service. But the disciples did not catch the idea. Do you wonder that Jesus said to them. "Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister, and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant." In His parables He taught the idea of service, but though the j disciples listened they did not seem j to comprehend, and so on that last i night Jesus did something they did j comprehend and clinched all His ; teaching by girding Himself and ministering to them, and said, "I have given you an example." Let me close by calling your attention to the last part of the text: "That ye should do as I have done to you." Are you doing what Jesus did, or is it only contemplation? Are you carrying out His example, or have you encountered some obstacle that is too hard to do? In the great galleries the artists sit and strive to reproduce the masterpieces, and so in the gallery of life you and I are sitting at the feet of Jesus. Are we reproducing perfectly? He is the example. Are we doing as He did? The Interpreter of Life. Jesus is the interpreter of life. He holds the secret of the life which is, as well as of the life which is to come. We don't know how to live, and we will go on blundering and wearing ourselves out until we take Him as our exemplar. The fever of life is the result of our experiment with the things which | ought to make for our happiness. | Somehow ww cannot get the right ! proportion, and instead of receiving j joy and peace and a larger life from our use of the mixture, we find our- | selves weak and feverish, and sick at j heart. Let us go to Him, and take j His life for our example. Let us j note what things He counted precious and what things He rejected as harmful to the soul. Let us accept Him r.s the way, and the truth, and the life, and He will enter the room in which we are now lying sick of the fever of life, and He will take us by the hand and lift ua up, and fill us with new life for service to His glory and salvation of our fellow men.?Rev. Percy T. Orton, in Pittsburg Christian Advocate. Into Harbor. If you reach Heaven, you will come in as I have often seen vessels come I into the harbor of New York, with j the storm-tide anchor swinging proudly at the prow. "There are ships," said the eloquent Melville, "that never go down in life's tempests. They shall be in no peril when the last hurricane shall sweep earth and sea and sky, and when the fury is overpast, and the light that knows no night breaks gloriously forth, they shall be found on tranquil and crystal waters, resting beautifully upon their shadows." These are they who have been piloted by the Holy Spirit; these j are the faithful ones whose soul was ' anchored to Jesus Christ.?Theodore j L. Cuyler, D.' D. Ail Important Distinction. The self-denial required by Jesus does not lie in seeking needless suffering '* ir ourselves, but in bearing huL-Jiy and submissively what should come in the discharge of Christiaa duty.

J THE TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA CONCERTED ATTACK ON DRINK WINNING ALL ALONG LINE. llie Buried Laugh That Alcohol Digs Up?That is Alcohol's Dangerous Power?It Drives Away Sorrow ami Brings Hack Laughter. The following remarkable editorial was written by Arthur Brisbane for the New York Evening Journal: A woman walked along the north side of Twonty-ei'ghtli street, near Fourth avenue, at noon yesterday. Her walk was a little unsteady, her carriage not quite natural. She was neither youny nor old?perhaps fifty, perhaps only thirty?one of the many women of thirty made to look old by poverty and worry. The woman's dress was black, faded and rusty. Her face was a good, honest face: it. too. was faded. Her head wa? bare, and the hair was gray. The hand that looivel^ held her skirt was wrinkled, the veins stood out. Many a hard day's work that> hand had done. The woman looked old. But her manner, her actions were for the moment those of a young woman. Her walk was a little unsteady. Only that walk betrayed the woman's condition at first. As she walked she looked about her gavly, like a girl oi fourteen. She walked along humming to herself. She dropped her skirt for a second, and, bending far over, seized the dress imuatiently and lifted it, with a laugh Of almost genuine mirth, smiling at the passers by as she did so. That laugh told the story. Men passing by had glanced carelessly at the faded working woman. They had scarcely noticed the unsteady walk. Fatigue might have caused that unsteadiness. But everybody who heard the careless. ringing laugh turned to look. And immediately every man knew that the unhappy woman had been drinking to excess. If she had been young or well dressed. if her clothing or her face,had been that of a happy woman with a decent chance in life, the laughter would have seemed quite natural, it would have caused no surprise. But coming from that, faded face, everybody kn^ew that the laughter had behind it some cause other than natural mirth. Some who looked at the woman laughed; others scowled ax her contemptuously; a few looked with pity and sympathy. Laughing, the womar gathered up her skirt, looking abouf with her poor faded eyes, hoping for sympathy and friendly appreciation of the little incident that seemed ridiculous and mirthful to her poor brain. And llien, unsteady but able to take care of herself, and, let us hope, able to get home safely, she passed on out of sight. Of those that saw her, a majority probably said later, "I saw a drunken woman this afternoon," and said nothing more. This newspaper would like to say a little more. And we would like to say it especially, and earnestly, to the prohibitionists, the moral reformers, and the other good, well-meaning men and women that fight drunkenness throughout the country. Drunkenness is repulsive; it is utterly shocking and dreadful in a woman exposed to public contempt on the street. Drunkenness should be fought. Everybody engaged in the fight is doing a noble work, and a useful work, when the fight is made intelligently. Alcohol does for its victims certain things. And those things must be I done for the victims, on a higher and 1 better scale, if drunkenness is to be conquered. That poor woman was born like other human beings, with laughter iD her soul. But how deeply that laugh- j far- hod Vioon hnriofl nrnhahlv frnm her early childhood! \ It was buried under worry, undei poverty, under hard work. Long hours, worry over children, worry of every kind and sickness and suffering had buried laughter, mirth, cheerfulness deep out of sight. Alcohol dug up the almost forgotten laugh and brought it to the surface. And the poor, tired, faded face, for a second at least, regained part of the cheerful old expression that ought never to have left it. If you want to fight alcohol, try to do in a noble way what alcohol does in an ignoble way. Alcohol makes the poor forget their poverty ior a moment. Fight it by relieving the poor of their poverty. It's Local Option or Prohibition. But it is as certain as the coming of another sunrise that if the liquor interests continue to deny to American citizens powers that are theirs by right, perpetuate their alliance with corruption in every municipality and every Legislature and persist in thwarting the will? of majorities expressed at the polls, they will finally force all elements to unite, not on local option, but on prohibitory measures so extreme that their traffic, in stead of being regulated, will be swept from the face of the Nation.? Philadelphia North American, April 3, 1908. A Woman's Movement. Prohibition in the South is to a certain extent a woman's movement. In the campaign in Alabama it was the women,the mothers and the wives and the children of the men who supported the saloon with their earnings, who marched in the. procession and stood all day at the polls to see that their husbands, sons and fathers voted vight. Temperance Notes. A noteworthy feature of the antisaloon crusade in the West, as was the case in the South, is the active participation of women. The progress of the prohibition wave through the States of the Middle West is not less remarkable than its sweep of the South. The fighr against alcohol is world wide. In German universities, even, the relation of beer and "brain efficiency'' is the subject of earnest experiment. Prohibition laws now aifect fully 33,000,000 of our population as against a meagre 3,500,000 in 1870! Brewer Fabst should not worry. There will still be plenty ot 'temptation to evil" after the law h'is done away with all the brewers. So thero is little intimation that the advocates of drink have ever considered thoroughly the "moral side" ui iuu oirai, reiorm. Ia ii ratiier long experience ?.s a temperance worker v/e have never known any permanent good to be aono except by personal contact and influence over individuals, says the Christian Resistor.

This one, designed for young girls, is exceedingly attractive and becoming, while the result is obtained by very simple means, as the- ?.rimmlng portion, which gives the continuous line, is cut all in- one and arranged over the blouse after it is made, m this instance sneer wnue oatiste is combined with embroidery. The blouse is made with the tucked fronts and backs, which are joined to , :he yoke portions, aud is trimmed be-1 cween the groups of tucks. The! sleeves are inserted in the armholes, | after which the garniture is arranged jver the whole. The lower edge is i i S ifi\ iM.yl joined to a belt, and in this instance the belt-is of lace insertion. The quantity of material required for the sixteen-year size is three and one-eighth yards twenty-four, two yards thirty-two or one and one-half yards forty-four inches wide, with one and one-half yards eighteen inches wide for the garniture, eight and onej half yards of banding. The New Shoe. The tip is more pointed. The vamp is shorter. The wing tip is ubiquitous. The Cuban heel is seen most frequently. Tan is the most popular for young people. Gun metal is the selection of older ones. Ooze is the newest leather. As its name suggests, it is porous looking. Dull gray suede holds its own. Surplice Waists. The surplice waists are made gay with folds of silk or crepe. And the taffeta gowns are made up with folds in contrasting colors. Very neat combinations are obtained in this manner. The fold sets off the gown and shows up its color beautifully. Three folds, [ respectively of pink, lavender and j white, finished the neck and sleeves j of a surplice waist which was worn over a lingerie slip of champagne lace. Best of Linings. Satin is used as a lining material wnerever pussiuie, auu iu an wises where the price does not count. There are glossy taffetas that do very well. But the satin lining has a weight and a gloss that recommend it to the observing person. Coat Front Finishing. The front of the coat is finished with a rose-shaped chou of velvet of a darker red than t:.e costume. Ww?iM i firm i saaBSgrefr i Parasol In New Design. One of the newest parasols to finish a charming summer costume is of white china silk embroidered all around the edge with sprays of thistle done in lichtest mauve and palest greens. Embroidered Coats. The newest coats are cut with the long panels down each side of the front and each side of the back, which are heavily embroidered with braid and handwork. A remarkable thing about these is that they extend almost to the knees, while the middle of the back and the sides are quite short, the slit extending above the waist. Idra For Braiding. Many suits are made with quite plain cutaway coats in which slits have been made on both sides of the front and through which braid soutache has been run. The same idea is also used ass a decoration for cuffs, and tne slits are best buttonholed, so that the braid will not tear the material. The end of the braid is mitered and finished in a silk tassel. Eardrops the Thing. One of the smartest additions to women's toilets is the old-fashioned earrings, consisting of several "drops" below the stone in the earring proper. These adornments are worn in almost any color, but the favorite shade seems to be light blue with ambercolored composition running second (n fho I1I11P S?nm(> nf thpsf> jewels are seen with as many as three "drops" dangling below the ears. Dressing Jacket. Such a pretty little dressing jacket as this one cannot fail to find its welcome. It is dainty and attractive, it is absolutely simple and it is peculiar I ly well adapted to the incoming season. In the illustration it is made of white batiste trimmed with embroid- j i ery, but it would be charming if the material chosen were flowered lawn, cross-barred dimity or anything sim- 1 ilar, and if something a litt'o handsomer is wanted, Japanese sliks will I be found desirable. i The jacket is made with tlie fronts, the back and the centre-front.

Lithographing Stone House. A plain, plastered stone house about fifty yards from the ancient City Hall of Nuremberg, Germany, has nothing to distinguish it from the other old houses of the neighborhood except that it is built of lithographic stone, worth from six to twenty-one cents a pound. So lithographers who go to Nuremberg wander from the worn tourist trails to see the wonder. The house was built about 1680, nearly 100 years before Alois Senefelder, the discoverer of lithograhy, was born. Andreas Lichtenstein, who built it, took the stone easiest to get and secured it for the trouble of carrying it away. Now the material in the building is worth about $4000. The present Andreas Lichenstein, a descendant of the man who built the house, has said "Nein" about once a month for the last twenty years to speculators who want to buy his home and tear it down for the stone. It is his home and was that of his forefathers, and he refused to part with it. So lithographers with thoughts of rising prices look and sigh. Lithographic stone is found in commercial quantities only in Bavaria. The largest quarries are near Nuremberg.?Kansas City Star. \ The Earth's Magnetism. The old saying, "as true as the needle to the pole," is no longer a safe comparison. Only in a few places on the earth's uurface does the compass ,point exactly to the north. What is more, the spot toward which its northward end is directed?the so-called "magnetic pole"?itself slowly shifts. For this reason it has been necessary to sup- i ply the mariner with fresh charts every few years, indicating the: amount of variations in the needle on which he must count. A means for the correction of these charts is supplied from two sources. Occasionally a ship captain will make an observation of a star while at isea to determine whether his compasses are all right He thus discovers sometimes that his chart Is in error. Further help to accurate information Is supplied by the magnetic observations of the world of which there must be about a score. One of the things measured at such places is the strength of the force in the earth that controls the compass. It was recently noticed, for instance, that this iorce is more than twice as great at a place in Burmah (Taungoo) as at Sitka, Alaska.?New York Tribune.

Some people arc thin and always re main tnin, irom temperamental reasons. Probably in 6nch cases nothing can be done to change this personal peculiarity. But there are a large number of peo- , pie who get tnin, or remain thin, who f naturally would be plump and fleshy but for some digestive derangement. " Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. Fat is derived from the oily constituents of food. ' The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum, the division of the all- , mentary canal Just below the stomach. The digestion of fat is mainly, if not wholly, the work of the pancreatic juice. This juice is of alkaline reaction, and is rendered inert by the addition of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing ' down into the duodenum, destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur- 1 poses. Therefore, the fats are not digested or emtlsifled, and the system is deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a catarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. ? When the food is taken into the stomach, if the process of digestion does | not begin immediately, acid fermenta* tion will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach Juices whtoh in their turn prevent the pan-- . / creatlc digestion of the oils, and the emaciation results. A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. . By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the . 4' stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus ' preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat a sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plump- ,, ? ness takes its place.
