' THE PULPIT. | A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY < THE REV DR. C. W. M'CORMICK. j Theme: Prayer. ^ Erooklyn, N. Y.?A large audience ] gathered in the Nostrand Avenue M. ] E. Church, Sunday morning, to hear t the first sermon by the new pastor, i the Rev. Dr. Charles W. McCormick. i He was greeted by hundreds of the ] ^ pewple at the close of the service, c His morning subject was "The ? Ground and Scope of Christian ] Prayer." The text was from Ephes- t lans 1:16-17, "Wherefore I also cease t not to give thanks for you, making 1 mention of you in my prayers." Dr. ( ? McCormick said: ( Saint Paul was a man of prayer, i He believed in prayer. He was fully j persuaded that between himself, a i persecuted and imprisoned apostle, i and needy saints everywhere, there t was a vital and effective relationship i by way of the throne of grace. To 1 him the question, Does God answer < prayer? had no existence. Had he a * lived in our day he would have had 1 little in common with those who find g " :he chief value of prayer in the self- I Inspiration and self-culture which un- e ioubtedly are-among its good results. 1 / The nearest he ever came to speaking i Df the reflex influence of prayer was I In his letter to the Philippians, where he says: "Be careful for nothing; 1 but in everything, by prayer supplica- t tion, with thanksgiving, let your re- a quests be made known unto God. I And the peace of God, which passetn \ a?l understanding, shall guard your f hearts and your thoughts In Christ i Jesus." Here the result of prayer is ^ subjective. It is the peace of a soul t that has joyfully confided everything to the care of God, the Father. But it is not the mere relief from anxiety which follows the shifting of one's 1 , burdens to the back of another. It Is the "peace of God," God's peace, the f kind and measure of peace which God has, and which He imparts to His c children who trust in Him, of which f Jesus said, "My peace I give unto 4 you." r The ground of Paul's confidence in j prayer is his conception of God and of i his own relation to God as a chosen s ambassador. Back of all his theology -v and ethical teaching lies his own per- e sonal experience. God had touched his life and spoken directly to him. t This experience was at once his point c of outlook and his unfailing ground t r\f nnnflllonM fr>T htrnaplf And fnr the % VI VVUUUVMVV 4V? v>M?. w? ? church. 1 His conception of God was that <3 God is both transcendent and im- s mament; above the world and in the world; not the logical concept of fc philosophy, nor the unknowable force b of scienoe. He was a personal God, whose eternal power and Godhead are a displayed in the works of His crea- v tion; who gave law to sinful men; i who upholds all things by the word d of His power; who seeks to redeem the world in Christ; who works in the p saints by His spirit to will and to do f of His own good pleasure; and who i: has promised In Christ the complete restoration of all His children. g Chiefly, however, his view of God v was from the standpoint of Christ as ? Redeemer. Here he saw the mystery, f hidden through the ages, which the c ^ angels desired to look into, revealed in uarisi, me uuiuiumg ui. uuu b cicjoal purpose to redeem a lost world % from sin. This purpose is not new. [t antedates and is involved in crea- a Lien. It is as strong and changeless y as the nature of God Himself. Such * was Paul's thought of God. And his conception of his own re- ? lation to God and of his mission ac- 1 :ords with this thought. He was sim- e ply God's man or as he loved to say, r God's bond-servant; the least of all c the saints, but called of God to de- P Clare the mystery of redemption to a * perishing world. Necessity was laid j1 upon him; the love of God con- * strained him; he was debtor to all c men because of the great grace given a unto him; he was part of God's plan, Implicated from the very beginning v In the eternal purpose. As such he could, do nothing but obey and trust e as becomes a co-worker with God. n It is not strange, therefore, that J with such ideas of God and himself b . tie should believe in prayer. It is in- c conceivable that he should not. Prayer in such a case is simply the ? confidential request of a weaker part- * ner in a work dear to both partners. The answer is assured. Besides, God had already given His Son; wnat needful thing could He withhold? 1( Whoever prays with Paul will have t no narrow or exclusive views of t prayer. Listen to some of the peti- d tions he ofTers. He prays that he may be prospered by the will of God ^ to come to the Romans; for the v . EpheBians, that they may have the d spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God, oeing strengthened with power through the Spirit, ? and having Christ constantly dwelling in their hearts that they may perfectly know God's surpassing love. b g* He asks God to give the Philippians h r the spirit of wisdom and discernment and discrimination, that they may be sincere and void of offense, filled with || all the fruits of righteousness. In W like manner he prays that the Colosf sians may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wis- t dom and understanding, walk worth- e ily, bear fruit, increasing in knowl- h edge and power. Finally he prays fl that God may count the Thessalon- i ians worthy of their high calling, and f fill every desire growing out of good- t ness, and every work of faith full of c His power. i: In all of Paul's prayers we miss a v familiar note. He seems to disre- v gard the ordinary needs of life. Yet o he did not really do so. He simply h subordinated them and assumed that b r* r^A TTf/v,iM + V. T_rr. stl.il VJV-/VX WUU1U ? iCUUUlU U U111 JL 1 io villi- a dren no good thing. With him God's q work was everything. Surely, if he did that work faithfully, God would supply all his needs. Hence he prayed for what he thought was of highest importance. As to the rest, he was in God's care. 0 The great petitions of Paul's pray- a ers are three: For a satisfying knowl- ? edge of God, a worthy life, and ac- *] cordant power. These are man's great needs. Our text to-day deals chiefly with the first. j M An PRCPntinl nrprAnuisitd nf a cat. I d isjying knowledge of God is a cer- s tain soul-preparation which God only ca^ give. This preparation is twofold: 1. The Spirit of God recreates the spirit of man so that it becomes 0 a spirit of wisdom. 2. In like man- n ner it becomes a spirit of revelation, j. By the term "spirit of wisdom" is ^ meant, not merely a wise spirit, s, though so much is, of course, implied, j but a spirit which is essentially wise w ?ven in Its temper and action. Likewise the "spirit of revelation" signiIBes, not the revelation, or the power to make revelations, but a spirit which can receive?is susceptible to revelations. Such a spirit results u partly from the removal of limita- w tions, partly from a change in point m >tview, and partly from added power, es Only such a sDirit can see God truly tt 4 >r life wholly. Only heart vision 13 :lear vision. Hence the prayer of the ext. that the eyes of the heart may )e enlightened. It was with the eyes >f the heart that the father saw the >rodigal afar off. It follows, then, since a knowledge of God involves tnd conditions a man's wisdom ?vid ipiritual understanding, and is essen- c ial to wholeness of vision, that the rery sanity of our views of life is vrapped up in our conception of God. ^ n the knowledge of Him all other * cnowledge has its beginning and in- t erpretation. a Three great corollaries are involved t n the knowledge of God for which { Paul prays: 1. If God be the trans- r :endent and immanent God of his ixperience, and if men come to know Him as such, the call of God to salva,lon and holiness is a perfect guaran:ee of His loving interest, and a suficient reason for unfailing hope. In ;he knowledge of God, the child of 3od perceives the hope of his calling. !. The riches of God's glory is in His ;aints, His inheritance, and the peo)le of His possession. The nature ind ,work of God display His valua;ion of a redeemed race. The saints ire His cherished possession. 3. To enow God as Paul knew Him in Christ Jesus is to see the very forces t work which God relies upon to save ;he world, and to apprehend the ;reatness of His power toward us who >elieve. To know God is to understand that all power in Heaven and n earth is at His disposal and that t is pledged to supply all the needs of lis children. Both the other subjects for which 5aul prays are impossible without his knowledge of God; with it, they ire possible and almost assured. The jerfect walk and the perfect work vould seem to be the normal outgrowth of such spiritual understandng. To know Him and Jesus Christ vhom He hath sent, is, and must ever >e, life eternal. - ' Dr. Frank Crane's Epigrams. n?QT)oi?a qt?o o^mnlo of x uc u ucoi< piajcio aio oiui^/iv o*ence.

An Indiana chemist has discovered i chemical process to revive gas veils, and is having great success, le has taken hold of a number of lead wells and brought on big flows .gain. He uses a chemical which, owered to the bottom of the well, ats its way through the Trenton ock, dissolving and cleaning out a ement which has formed in the lores, clogging the way for the gas o pass to the well. Another charge s put down with nitroglycerine on op and shot into the-rock. It is laimed the revived wells are as good s new. How many Christians there are rho need to be revived.

The surface of the sea is in ceasegss agitation.

In " very one of them God's own almighty tl: land is shown; we grasp them, and ai Ind ourselves in turn held by divinty, out of whose clasp we can never tr all, nor be torn away. We lean upon aliese words, and find ourselves en- ' ircled and upborne by the everlast- .. ng arms. We pillow our head in weariness or sorrow upon God's C1 cords of love and comfort, and find tl urselves drawn close to our Father's bl ieart, held in His bosom, and soothed gj y His tenderness, which is gentler d nd more comforting than even that f an earthly parent. . ei Ambassador of Christ. f, Laws are made, men are subjected a o civil authority.

Among the new broadclotha brought out in soft weave for winter wear is one of black and dull gray stripe.

Not only in silk and satin do they appear, but wool stuffs, too, and a combination of siik ana wool are snown in tne coraea weaves. Pajamas Preferred. Quite a number of women prefer pajamas to nightgowns for sleeping use, afld certainly ttyey are a great convenience when traveling or for mountain and seaside wear. The latest fad in these suits Is a very delicately colored silk in odd shapes, such as water blue, ashes of roses and pale almond green, embroidered in dull Oriental tones of wash silk. Le Style Collant. At the Maison Francis, famous for tailor-mades, the reply to the question about the coming fashion was: "Le style collant"? that is to say, the clinging style. "The sleeves will be close and clinging, the skirts will be close and clinging, the bodiceswill be tight and flat," said the premiere. "And I may add that we are making very long coats. * Circular Skirt.

The circular side ' and back portions take exceedingly graceful folds, yet are perfectly ' smooth over the hips and the narrow front gore adds much to the distinction of the skirt, while it allows ef? fective use of the fashionable buttons. In the illustration catawba colored ] broadcloth is trimmed with buttons covered with heavy silk of the same color and with simulated buttonholes, m but all suitings.and all skirting mate- t rials are appropriate. t The skirt is made in the accepted walking length and is closed invisibly at the back.
