THE PULPIT.
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR. C. F. J. WRiGLEY.
Theme: The True Life.
Brooklyn, X. Y. ? Dr. C. F. J.
YvTrigley, rector of Grace Church,
preached Sunday morning on "The
True Life." The text was from
Matthew 11:25. "I thank Thee, O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
that Thou hast hid these things from
the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes." Dr. Wrigley
said:
When a man makes up his mind
not to vegetate, not to be content
simply to exist, but to live the life;
when he realizes that he is not only
an animal, having much in common
with the animals; but also a man,
having much in common with the
world of mystery by which he is surrounded.
there are very few ultimate
ideals to which he can turn. The
fact is, there are only two such Ideals,
if we bar out that insane suggestion
of the disordered mind of Nietsche
that a man should cultivate the "will
to enjoy" or the "will to have power,"
which is not a philosophy of life,
but suitably a foolhardy agolsm.
The man's choice really lies between
a life of pessimism and agnosticism,
a life which gives up all the
real problems of life and settles down
idto an existence of grim despair and
apparently hopeless ignorance of all
the things which, most of all, a man
wants to know, or a life which "answers
the challenge of all suffering
and mystery and sin by affirming the
everlasting yea." On the one side
we have Buddha and Buddhaism,
which even yet holds in its grasp India
and China and other Eastern
countries, and is the cause of the unprogressive
and despairing life of
those peoples; and, on the other
hand, we have Jesus Christ and the
confident and affirmative attitude
that He takes toward life, proclaiming
a bold faith in a fatherly God,
who is guiding the world toward a
certain goal of goodness and perfection.
He points out to us a life of
-e.-ii? ^a# ttfhloh rrnn
lUlitrr LUiittrut mau au; ui nmvM
had dared to dream; and He joyfully
points it out to us, calls it His gospel,
and declares that it shines
through all the perplexities and
struggles of our existence?nay, that
it is the author and origin not only
of all ou?* troubles but also of all our
satisfactions. That it is the quality
of the everlasting, that it is seizing '
hold of man and triumphantly bidding
hi:n to put his hand into th9
hand o? God, and through the mysteries
ur. i mists of life to trust the
Father, 'and not only allow himself
to be led. but himself to struggle up
toward 'he eternal.
Which of these ideals shall a man
accept to-day? Is there any choice?
Can a man study the two for even a
short time and still be undecided?
True, the man may not have heard
of tho second ideal, and that it is
which constitutes the clarion call to
missions; but if he has heard, can j
he long question which ideal he is
to choose? Why, without thinking
a moment, an ordinary, unprejudiced
man would say, as he looked upon the
! two pictures of life, I would rather
be wrong with Jesus than right with
Buddha. \
But, in speaking of this life, Jesus
said: "I thank Thee, Father, that
Thou hast hid these things from the
wise and prudent, and revealed them
unto babc-s." What does that mean?
Surely, not that the gospel i3 hidden
from men cf great intellectual power
or mental acumen; not that knowledge
or wisdom is a bar to the acceptance
of the teachings of Jesus.
This is untrue as a fact, for, since
the coming of Jesus Christ into the
**orld. it is safely within the limits
of truth to say that the vast majority
of the really wise and intellectually
great men 6f the Christian world
have been Christians. When a man
says that his world-wide knowledge
hinders him from accepting the narrow
revelation of Jesus, I point to
Gladstone. When a man says that
his scientific studies are a hindrance
to Ms tr.itn, I point to j-.ora iveiviii, i
for both Gladstoiifc and Kelvin represent
towering intellectual ability, the i
one in the departments of literature
aL(l statesmanship, and the other in
pure science. No, Jesus does net
mean that wisdom prevents a man
from believing, nor does He discourage
learning; Christ's religion, in
fact, has been the leader always in
the educational world, but He means
that no amount of learning can give
to a man that which He comes to the
world to give. Worldly learning cannot
reveal heavenly things. In other
words, worldly wisdom cannot be
substituted for revelation.
Jesus Christ came into the world
to live a life, which should be in itself
a revelation of new values. It
is needless to say they are opposed to
world values. For instance, Jesus
begins with life itself. It is the supreme
value, hence the horrible character
of murder and suicide. The
Christian world has not yet grasped
the real meaning of the value which
Jesus placed upon life; not cultivated
and refined, but just human life.
l nun cuiiies IIuiiiiiiij , tut; ijuasussiuu
of which puts a mail into the right
atitude toward God "and his fellow
man. Then unselfishness, which enables
him to shed many of the characteristics
of the brute world. Then
obedience. which enables him to cultivate
the qualities of the ruler, that
he may be se'.f-pocsessed and strong.
Then love, which leads to gratitude
to God, and the help of his fellow
man. These tilings are supreme
values in the revelation of Jesus
Christ. He has little to say about
birth. A r.ian may have been born
in a hovel, or the heir to a throne;
it matters not so as his work is well
done. A man may be worth much
money, or none; he may be very
wise, or not very wise; he may be cultivated
and refined, or coarse and
rough?none of these things are taken
into consideration b/ Jesus, because
they do not enter into His system
of values. They are only world
valnps and have an importance that I
attaches only to the life that now is.
The question, then, is: Are these
values of Jesus real values, and If
so why arc they tot universally acecpted?
The answer is every man 13
born capable of appreciating these
values, but he may lose the faculty,
and, having lost it, he finds it difficult
to regain.
"I thank Thee that Thou hast ro ealed
them to babes." What does
*hat mean? and why thankful that
those things were revealed to babes?
The answer is plain. Ho was thankful
that Ilis message could bo understood
by anyone possessing the ordinary,
human receptive faculties. If
the message could be understood only
hv men of surpassing intellectual
gifts, it could never be a general gospei,
because few would be wise
r
enough to understand it; but. the j
gospel is not a riddle to be solved and !
needing great mental gifts in order j
to solve it, but a revelation to the j
heart of the world. The word "babes"
in this connection means onr. common
humanity, to which everything that j
relates to humanity appeals. It is tho
prreat common world interest. It is
that to which classic literature appeals.
I suppose that much of the interest
that we have In the old world *
literature is that we are readine:
about the sorrows and tlie joys of
men like unto ourselves, who lived
hundreds of years ago. We speak
of Burns' poetry as something that
appeals to the heart of the world. We
mean that it appeals to everybody, t
that it touches our common humanity.
that it is something which everyone
can appreciate. This is the power
of the universal language like '
music or art. everybody of every age, r
and of every nation understands. c
Now Christianity anpeals to this a
common humanity because it is *
founded upon the great fact of a com- *
mon need. Human nature says a re- J
cent writer, "moves cut toward God." 8
This is true, because as soon as hu- ^
man nature begins to wonder about J
things, there is a demand for satisfac- '
tion concerning the mysteries. As ^
soon as a man begins to appreciate ^
the fact of God's existence, he begins J
to know that God is good, and he be- !;
gins to have a sense of si**. As soon
as he becomes conscious cl sin he is
anxious to obtain pardon; therefore. "r
it. is that Christianity which meets (
the man with an answer to all his
questions about. God, and with forjr'-eness
for his sin and pardon for
hir. wrongdoing, and reconciliation to
God satisfies his inmost being.
Christianity, then, is the permanent
answer to a permanent need,
that is the Saviour's estimate of it.
but ~ne asks, if that is the case, why
is it not universally accepted? Jesus
Himself tells us, because it makes its
appeal to t ie heart, and not the intellect;
which means that it appeals to
the whole personality of our sane,
calm and serene manhood, and not
to the Intellect of the emotions alone.
Jesus offered His gospel to the
Scribes and Pharisees, and it was rejected;
the "wise and nrudent" were
offended by it. "He found His disciples
among men who had neither
been tempted by wealth nor corrupted
by poverty, men who could pray
"Give us this day our daily bread"
with earnestness because their daily
bread depended upon their daily toil;
men of nc great learning, but nracti
cai, commonsense. nam-neacieu men G
of the world, and let us remember
.Tesus gives thanks tha" it is so. He
does not accept it as one of the conditions
of His work and m?.ke excuses
for it. hut says that it is the "strength
and power of His message that it
makes its appeal to the average man
with his average intelligence, and
average hun.an wants," and not primarily
to the scholars of the day.
Let us never forget that great fact,
which is fundamental to the success
of Christianity, that it is a message
and not an argument, and if a man
shall ask. Hew do T know the message
to be from God? the answer is,
the message contains the nroof of its
ov/n truth. It proves itself to be true
when it has satisfied my ne*d. The
father gives bread to the child and
says take and eat. The child may
question the value of the food?* and
yet he has faith enough to eat, and
after he has eaten there is do room
for argument, for his hunger is satisfied.
The Father in heaven has done
the same thing. He has seen the hunger
of the world and He has said.

enough to accept the bread of the
world, there is afterward no room for
argument, for his hunger Is satisfied,
and a new vigor and power have
come into his life. It is only the
"wise and prudent" who refrain from
eating the bread of life which Christ
offers, and because of their refusal
are still wondering over the great
problems of sin and Gorrow and death,
and are not satisfied because thay get

Explanation of Life's Mysteries.
Few places are more rough, mora
lacking :'n every element of beauty,
than a stone quarry. I began my
ministry anions the quarries of Ca ie
Ann, which have since been multiplying
over its granite surface. Were I
to take che owners of some? of the
newer quarries, and walk with them
over the familiar places, I could say
to them: "I remember when I used
to walk here among stately trees, or
sit under the shadow of a great rock
and feast on the surrounding beauties;
but new you have blasted the
rocks, you have cut down the trees,
you have littered the fields with
broken fragments. What does it all
mean?" Then they could take me to ?
some noble buildings in various cities ^
and say: "Do you see those stately 11
buildings, beautiful cornices, grace- e
ful arches, lofty columns? Well, c
there is the meaning of the quarry." c
So it is that Heaven explains the r
meaning of many or the mysteries of 1
our earthly experience. The cares, r
burdens, sorrows, joys, works, trials, *
are all instruments for fitting us for f
our heavenly home.?Peloubet. 1

fault is not in the power of faith, nor

ead the hearts of the chief priests
ind Pharisees (cf. ch. 21:45, 46) and
mswered their thought by the parade
of the lesson. By comparing thu
cingdom unto a royal marriage feast
fesus sets forth the thought that it i;j
l place of festal joy (cf. Luke 14:
.6), and also suggests that Christ's
elation to His people is that of a
lusband to his wife (cf. 1 Cor,. 11:
Eph. 5:24-32; John 3:29). The
fews were the ones who were first indued
by the prophets and afterward
>y John the Baptist (ch. 3:1, 2) and
ne twelve disciples (ch. 10:6, 7). We
vould naturally expect that when
;uch an invitation came that all would
iccept it, they would be even more
ikely to accept it in the east than we
n the west. But in the case of God's
east, the invitation was spurned and
reated with contempt (v. 5). Nothng
more clearly reveals the foolishless
and wickedness of the human
leart than the way in which men re:eive
God's invitations of grace. These
>eople were shut out of the feast sim>ly
because they did not accept the
nvitation. The Jews did not find life
tnd joy In Christ simply because they
vould not come to Him (John 5:40).
^.nd if there are any to-day who do
iot find pardon and peace and life in
reaus, it is simply because they will
iot come to Him. Throughout the
listory of the human race man has
ilways been unwilling to accept God's
nvitations of mercy (Prov. 1:24; Is.
>5:2, 12: 66:4; Jer. 6:16; Ps. 81?
L0, 11; Rom. 10:21; Matt. 23:37).
t is because of the deceitfulness,
vickedness and blindness of their
learts that men thus treat God's inviations
(Jer. 17:9; 2 Cor. 4:4). The
cing did not stop at the first invita
ion (cf. 21:36), and God does not
itop with one invitation. Wonderful
ndeed is the forbearance of God. It
vas business that kept men from ac:epting
the king's invitation, and so it
>ften is to-day (cf. ch. 13:22). An
jarthly king would regard such a
reatment of the royal invitation with
;reat displeasure, and so does God
[cf. Heb. 10:28, 29). Some even
vent beyond treating the invitation
vith contempt, they abused and killed
he servants that brought the invitaation.
This was historically true of
he Jewish treatment of God's servmts
who came to Invite them to His
easts (Acts 4:1-3; 7:54-59), God's
;ervants are often so treated to-day.
Jod's feeling toward such is set forth
n v. 7. Here we have a clear predicion
of the destruction of Jerusalem
cf. Luke 19:42-44; 21:20-22), The
ejection and crucifixion of Christ was
he cause of the destruction of Jeru;alem.
This had been predicted in
he Old Testament (Dan. 9:26; Micah
1:12).
II. God's Invitation Accepted, 8-10.
vnen israei rejected uou s mvuauon
3od sent It to the Gentiles (8, 9).
srael lost the marriage feast because
hey were "not worthy." The thing
hat makes us worthy is taking our
rue place before God and accepting
he atonement He has made (Luke
8:14, 15; Rev. 22:14. R. V.). When
?ne rejects the invitation he judges
limself unworthy of everlasting life
Acts 13:4G). The servants were not
nerely to bid those in the highways
o come, but to gather them in (v.
.0; cf. Luke 14:21, 23). This lays
ipon the church the duty of urgency
.nd insistency in their invitation to
nen to Christ. We are to invite both
;ood and bad. The Gospel invitation
s to all (Mark 1:15; Rev. 22:17).
"he servants did as they were bidden.
Christ's servants have not always been
.s true to their commission as they
.re represented as being here. "The
redding was filled." Heaven will not
>e an empty place, it will be full (cf.
lev. 7:9-14). If we refuse the inviation,
God will find others who will
iccept it. The bad are mentioned be- |
ore the good as among those invited.
There is room in the kingdom for
hose who have besn very bad (1
"or. 6:10, 11).
III. The Unprepared Guest, 11-14.
The king will come in and scrutinize
lis guests (v. 11). A strange sight
greeted his eyes, a guest without a
redding garment. The wedding garnent
is the figure of the robe of right:ousness
that God expects all to put
in who accept His invitation. The
me who had not on the wedding garnent
had not really accepted the inviation
to the wedding feast. If one
eally accepts God's invitation to His
leavenly kingdom, he will get ready
or it by putting on Jesus Christ. His
leglect to make ready was an act of
ontempt for the king. If we outwardly
accept God's T.nvitation and do
lot make ready, we are despising
)oth Him and His invitation. One
luestion Drougnt me iounsn guest iu
lis senses, and a word from God will
jring us to our senses if we have not
m the wedding garment. The offendng
guest had no excuse to offer. '"He
vas speechless," and so will all be
vho do not put on the wedding garnent.
How awful is the doom of
hose who do not make ready as set
,'orih in the 13th verse, he will be
ast into a place of darkness, woe and
mpotent rage. Goi calls all, but
jnly those who appreciate the call
ind accept the robe of righteousness
iVhicii He provides are "chosen!"
As We "Would Ilave God Do.
Alas, if my best friend, who hath
!flid down His life for me, were to rencmber

OUR TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
REPORTS OF PROGRESS OF TnE
BATTLE AGAINST RU?L
A Story of Profit and Loss.
How the enforcement Oi! prohibition
ruins business will be appreciated
by business men who will recognize
its practical workings in the
following bit of commercial history:
Prior to the prohibition enactment.
Walruff's brewery in Lawrence, Kan.,
was a prosperous business, employing
about ten men, besides the proprietor.
Suppose the average wage of brewery
employes is $12 per week, the ten
men would earn a total of $120 per
week to be expended in groceries,
dry goods, shoes, boots, rent, books,
music and other commodities.
On the adoption of prohibition the
brewery closed. The employes were
thrown out of work, and the dealers
were the losers o! their trade, at least
until such time as new positions could
be secured by them. The brewer sold
his property, and, very probably,
moved away, taking his capital with
him, to And some more congenial
clime for the prosecution of his enterprise.
The commercial loss sustained
was:
Loss of wages, $120 per week.
The loss of capital, say, $18,000.
The loss of a leading industry, and
Its head.
The loss of money flowing into the
town as a result of that industry.
The brewer sold his plant?build
lngs, engines, ground?to a shoe and
boot manufacturer. The factory gave
employment to over 100 men. Suppose
the average weekly wage of shoe
operatives is $9 per week. The weekly
payroll will be S900, the amount
to be expended with the merchants,
mechanics and tradespeople of the
town. This shows a net gain (after
deducting the losses shown above), of
Weekly wages, $780, or C58 per
cent.
Ninety families to feed, clothe and
house.
Increase in flow of money to the
town as result of the new industry.
This showing is direct and tangible.
But, in addition, while the saloons
were in town there was some
percentage of the wages of the general
wage-earner, and some percentage
of the money paid to .the farmer
that went into the till of the saloonkeeper,
and there was some ratio of
the industry, honesty and productivity
of the drinking men destroyed by the
drink. And there was some percentage
of the crime and pauperism with
its attendant expense to the community
traceable to the beer made in1
the brewery.
Not so with the shoes and boots.
Not in the whole history of the manufacture
of footwear has a man been
known to go home under the influence
of indulgence in patent leathers or
stogies to brain his wife with a bootJack
or chase his children into the
freezing night with the blackingbrush.
No town board, moved with
compassion for suffering womanhood
and starving childhood, has ever
found it necessary to ordain that the
shoe shops must close at 11 p. m.
There is not a row, not a riot, not
a murder, not a shooting, not a fistfight
in a carload of footwear.

A Forceful Indictmcnt.
Dr. Howard A. Kelley, of Johns
Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, at the
Washington meeting of the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Other Drug Habits, speaking as a
physician with thirty-two years' experience,
said: "I began my practice
in private life by prescribing alcohol
in its various forms as an easily diffusible
stimulant in cases of periodic
weakness, in low fevers and exhaustion.
in accordance with the common
custom of a generation ago. My experience
has told me that the effect is
temporary, evanescent; that the drug
(for such it is) does no real good:
and that a dangerous habit is thus
easily endangered which may be most
difficult to eradicate, a habit that may
utterly ruin the patient's body, souj
and spirit."
Prv.nkenness in Canada.
Nowhere in the world where the
liquor traffic exists is it under better
"regulation" than in the Dominion of
Canada, and nowhere is law, even regarding
the saloon, better enforced
than in that country. Yet, according
to Canada's new report of criminal
statistics, arrests for drunkenness
have increased from 11,090 in 1S99
to 31,0S9 in 190S.
IJnd For the Boast.
The passenger inside the cab suddenly
put his head out of the window
and exclaimed to the driver: "Get
on, man! Get on! Wake up your
nag." "Shure, sor. I 'aven't the 'eart
to bate 'im." "What's the matter
with him? Is ?=e sick?" "No, sor,
'e's not sick, but it's unlucky 'e is,
sor, unlucky. You see, cor, every
morning, afore I put 'im in the cab, I
tosses 'im whether 'e'll 'ave a feed of
oats or I'll 'ave a dhrink of whisky,
an' the poor haste 'as lost five morn*

Two Types.
An Irish teamster in a New England
town when asked why he always
oted "no license." said: "Me boy
died of rum, an* I do what I cau to
keep other folks' boys from dying the
same way." This ignorant teamster
is a citizen of ihe highest type. .
A gentleman of high standing in
the sama place said: "Why should

low, corrupt politicians. My vote
doesn't count. I've no time for sentimental

" "You remind me," answered the author

I was afflicted with a very bad cas?
of Eczema for twenty-five years,
which was in my feet, legs and hips.
Through all this time I tried different
remedies and Doctors' prescriptions,
obtaining no relief until I used your
HUNT'S CURE.
One box (50c) cured me entirely,
and though two years have elapsed I
have had no return of the trouble.
Naturally I regard it as the greatest
remedy in the world.
