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. - '

A Fresh Beginning.
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. It is not
hat their religious capabilities are
xhausted, but that some worldly ceaent
has shut off the communication
etween the heart and God. Joshua
rought to the people of Israel a new
hapter of spiritual power that their

The Peaceful Undercurrent.
The surface of the sea is in ceasegss
agitation. In the time of storm
he ordinary observer would suppose
hat the ocean was moved to its
epths, yet the fiercest tempest never
roduces waves that rise above tweny
feet. Sometimes when .two fierce
caves meet the spray is flung a hunred
and twenty feet high, which is bl
inly a trifle of the sea'9 depths. The n:
;reater part of the ocean is calm, and ir
elow the surface moves on in steady si
urrents. A Christian life seems n;
f.ten disturbed by life's experiences, w
iut down beyond the reach of the t,
luman eye is the eternal peace and
teady moving purpose.?Rev. Clarnce

The Tenderness of God. ^
The most real and sure things in 1)1
his world are the words of God. 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. .

Le Style Collant.
At the Maison Francis, famous for

about the coming fashion was:
"Le style collant"? that is to say,
the clinging style.
"The sleeves will be close and

clinging, the bodiceswill be tight and
flat," said the premiere.

SUGGESTIONS FOR INVENTORS.
Hints on Things For Which the World Ai
Would Be Thankful.
j&ivery one respects me uiau wliu invented
the stud with a movable head.
He Is one of the benefactors of man- ve
kind. No one has heard his name, ^
but he has done more for humanity ha
than, say, Napoleon. He has given bu
the whole world five minutes every 011
morning. Think of the years thus an
saved and the tempers preserved!
It is, on the other hand, impossible j
to be friendly with the man who in- pj(
vented that obstinate a?id arbitrary be
thing of bone which used to be the ca
ruin of all collars. Such a man can ub
only be forgotten, and, if possible, ba
forgiven. He is iri the same category
as the man who thought of the top an
hat or the starched shirt, or the han- Qt
som street whistle. There is no ex- cu
cuse for him. SI
It is, in fact, necessary that toe inventor
should be a man of a sensitive
and amiable disposition. He-, must
know all the.weaknesses of human- sa
ity and be prepared to respond to ^
them. He must not scorn the little w'
things, and he must remember that di
the man who thought of goloshes at
made a fortune. He need not worry
so much, about' flying machines as ta
about studs. It is more necessary w<
that he should add to our comfort
than to our altitude.' *?
An appeal, for instance, was made
the other day by a correspondent of Wi
the Express for something to take the ^
place of the elusive button hook. A nc
button hook is admittedly one of the 80
things that can never be found. Its *r
gift of disappearance is shared only wl
with time tables, keys and openers af n?

woo rononHv iloci+rnvaH hv flfA i And
whose insurance was not adequate
to cover his losses, has suddenly
stumbled upon $2000 in gold whlcft
he found buried in the ruins of his
destroyed brewery.
Despondent, the /man disclosed the
extent of his losses to his wife. The
latter told him to "cheer up," as shehad
accumulated a sum of money
which she had hidden away in a receptacle
behind the chimney. Bernal,
expecting to find only a few dollars, ?
commenced to dig and was qstounded
when he uncovered J2000> in gold
coin, which, despite a slight discolor^
tion, was in good shape.
