\_>_' . The Fine Art of Saintliness By REV. LEW W. GOSNELL Assistant Dean, Moody Bibi? Institute, Chlcapo. jf= O TEXT.-Ye became iollowors of us and i of the Lord ... Ye were ensamples to all that believe tn Macedonia and Achata. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord.-1 Theas. 1:6-J<, In these vernos the npoatle gathers three Illustrations of the Christian 1 life from ns immy . >?#W%I?W branches of the /? ' ' '? hne arts. A/- 'ti The first ls ( |P% .^x;.M taken from the IMP* JfPs^'^sS drama. To he W$jj?: ^^^fl^J&V sure, he could not have Indorsed tho fjj^H^^. -;VV modern theater. ISP^^T^ One needs oidy to ^?|^P * JL per notices of the ^y?i**' jj??k plays given to tf???k. j&sj???, (,ay lo ^e con" * vi need of this. Nevertheless, Paul linds an Illustra tion of the Christian life In the drama, for the word "followers" means Imita- I tors, those who study from life and attempt to copy someone else's activ- j liles. The Thessalonians had thus imitated the tlrst missionaries to their city, and in so doing had found ; themselves following the Lord. t lt ls evident they must have been Impressed thal the missionaries' mes- j sagt; was one of vital concern, for they received ii in much afllictioh, albeit with Joy of the Holy Chest. It is only such an Impression which lends men to become Imitators of oth ers. Wo know a man who for years lins done business in thc most bus tling center of Chicago's traille. Ho bas consistently adorned thc doctrine of Christ In his dally walk, so that it is not surprising those about bim have been Impressed, One day, a bus iness associate called up this man's pastor und asked him if he could tell him how to get the same kind of re ligion this man had I Ile became un imitator of him and thus a follower of the Lord. But Imitation may bo outward only. Indeed, a hypocrite, according to tho meaning of the original word, le a "play-actor"-another Illustration from the draipn I Hence, Paul uses an ad ditional figure, which goes deeper. From the Sculptor's Art He calls these believers "ensam ples," that ls, examples or type?, a figure taken from the sculptor's art. Tbs term suggests, not temporary likeness, but permanent form. More over, this form Is implanted by n ferro from without. A man might be come au imitator largely by hU own efforts, but au "ensainple" must be fashioned by the great Sculptor. "We ure His workmanship, created In Christ Jesus unto good works." Re ligions made by men tickle human vanity by exhorting to effort, to .self realization, and tell men what they may make of themselves. The Gos pel cuts tho nerve of nil self-confi dence, and assures men they are sin ners and must have a Savior. Such a gospel ts repudiated today, but wo may still say with Paul, as he wroto to Home : "I am not ashamed of the Cospel of Christ, for lt ls the pow er of God unto salvation to every ono that bellevetb." Nomico that this figuro from the sculptor's art looks two ways. N'ot only must the ensumple be fashioned by a force from without, but when fashioned, lt becomes a pattern for ( others. So, bearing the likeness of Christ ourselves, we nre to impress lt on others. The Inst figure Paul uses is taken from the art of the musician. He re minds his converts that from them "sounded forth" tho Word of the Lord. The particular referenco ls to the her ald's trumpet, with Its echoes linger ing on the air. Doubtless, they preached the gospel, but better still, they lived lt. This spoke In trumpet tones, and the sound was heard. Not only In tho province of Macedonia, whero they were, but even lu Achala, where Paul was, mon were tcllln? of this remarkable company who hnd turned to (Jod from Idols, to servo the living and true God, and to walt for Ills Son from heaven. The Music of Redeemed Lives. Genuine goodness ls more effectlvo In promoting tho work of God than tho most finished orations, but tho ideal * testimony ls that in which lip timi life combine. Thc writer recently sat In the olfice of a famous rescue mission, and overheard the dictation of a letter to n yo :ng Christian. The plain woman who v as attempting to dictate it had been wonderfully! redeemed. Some years ago, she bad reached such * depths 'that her children were taken from her. Finally, when there was no humnn hope for her, the Lord In His great mercy saved her. She has become a most useful Christian work er, the very embodiment of goodness. The letter we overheard her dictat ing wns not marked by any literary ? beauty. But ns she spoke lovingly atid gratefully of her Savior, we found the tears starling, ns we thought of tho depths from which she bad boen lifted and of the way In which she has been adorning the doctrine of God in nil things. Are our lives and testimony such t as to Impress them Inn! know us that w the Gospel ls a Joyful sound, Uko tho sweet music of a herald's trumpet?

(Best) HAH DIN? AND MCKINLEY GIVEN Equal Praise in Ohio, Native State of Hot h Presidents. Niles Ohio, June 22.-The nation's President and a martyred President, both Ohio native sons-Warren G. Harding and William McKinley were showered with equal praise at the unveiling of a bronze bust of tho. former hero last week. While Vice President Coolidge and Secretary of Labor Davis, Governor Davis of Ohio, and Congressman John G. Cooper, of Youngstown, extolled the lives of the living and the dead Presidents from the shadows of tho white marble building, the gigantic statue of the martyr gazed solemnly and majestically on the throng that gathered in the sweltering sun to pay homage. Similarity of character, purpose, ambitions, achievements and lives of the two were themes of the addresses of the speakers, on which they dwelt at length. McKinley set before thc country not only an example of political wis dom, declared the Secretary of La bor. "He gave il an example of moral lire. Ho touched tho fainting j moral strength of the people, ho put tho lire of Iiis own will to theirs, and they laughed at their foolish '< fears, and went forward airain with la new vim, and prospered as never before. J "Now again we have before us a leader with the pure faith, thc same high confidence in tho strength and purpose of our people. Already tho ! hopeful, helpful, reassuring words of I President Harding, reflected back on! I the national faith that elected him, i have had a quickening effect. In his ? few short weeks of office President Harding has shown the good will of. McKinley, the patience and forbear-! ance of Lincoln and the drive of the lamented Roosevelt."

Washington, Juno 23.-Tho alti tude of Middle Western bankers and financiers toward the present busi ness situation was detailed to Presi dent Harding to-night at the second of his conferences of "best financial minds." A score of prominent figures in tho Middle Western business world were ibo President's guests at Hie dinner, and they are understood to have giv en him advice regarding the particu lar needs of the domestic inland money market. The viewpoint of the International bankers' group was pre sented at a similar dinner several weeks ago.

Quarnberg at Vuncouver recently from what ls said to be the oldest apple-tree in the Pacific Northwest. The tree ls 95 years old, and ls a liv ing monument to the romantic days when tlie Hudson's Hay company ruled over a vast territory within the Uui ted States. Sailing around Cape Horn In 1S2G, a Hudsou's Bay company employee ate an apple. It sccmod such a deli cious apple after his long sea diet of salt horse and hardtack that he planned to raise other apples like lt in his now home lu the wilderness. He dropped the seeds In his vest-pock et and forgot nil about them. But they were discovered by the tailor at Fort Vuncouver, to whom he turned over bis clothes to mend. The tailor gave them to the gurdener, who planted them, and the trees that grew from them were the ancestors of the flourishing orchards which have since made Oregon and Washington famous. The ancient treo, now standing alone on the site of the old fur post, has lived through ninny changes that made history. Fort Vancouver was founded on tho Columbia river In 1824 hy the Hudson's Hay company as the rival of John Jacob Astor's pioneer Ameri can fur post ot' Astoria. For years under Chief Factor John McLoughlln, known as "the king of Oregon," it was the company's transmontano capital, and Hs fur brigades swept ?is far east os the Rockies and almost as fur south us thu borders of modern Mexico. When nt the close of the "Fifty-four forty or light" excitement, Oregon was ceded to the United States, the com pany abandoned the fort and withdrew north of the International lino. When Fort Vancouver was at the height of Its prosperity, tho company was su premo lord over three-fourths of North America.
