We dismounted nom oar horses on the way pencil marks made Betijsny on the rains of md Martha oar non up from Jordan to toe Dead Sea. Bethany was toe summer evening retreat of Jesua After spending the day in the hot city of Jerusalem He would came out there almost every evening to the house of His three friends. I think the occupants of that house were orphans, for the father and mother are not mentioned. But the son and two daugh ters must have inherited property, for it must have been, judging from what I saw of the foundations and the size of the rooms, an opulent home. Lazarus, the brother, was now the head of the household and his sisters depended on him and were proud of him, for he was very popular and everybody liked him, and these girls were splendid girls. Martha a tost rate house keeper and Mary a spirituelle, Somewhat dreamy, but affectionate, and as good a girl as could be found in all Palestine. Bat one day Lazarus got sick. The sisters were in con sternation. Father gone and mother gone, they feel very nervous lest they lose their brother also. Disease did its quick work. How the girls hung over his pillow? Not much sleep about that house, no sleep at alL From the characteristics otherwhere de veloped, I judge that Martha prepared the medicines and made tempting dishes of food for the poor appetite of the sufferer, but Mary prayed and sobbed. Worse and worse gets Lararus, nntil the doctor announces that he can do no more. The shriek that went up from that household when the last breath had been draws and the two sisters were being led by sympathizers into the ad joining room, all those of us can imagine who have had our own hearts broken. But why was not Jesus there as He so often had been? Far away in the country districts preaching, healing other sick, how unfortun ate that this omnipotent Doctor had not been at that domestic crisis in Bethany. When at last Jesus arrived in Bethany Laza rus had been buried four days and dissolu tion had taken place. In that climate the breathless body disintegrates more rapidly than in ours. If, immediately after decease, tnat body had been awakened into life, unbelievers might have said that he was only in a comatose state, or in a sort of trance, and by some vigorous manipulation or powerful stimulant vital ity had been renewed. No! Four days dead. At the door of the sepulcher is a crowd of people, but the three most memor able are Jesus, who wa.? the family friend, and the two bereft sisters.

I am so giad that after the Lcid He went on And commanded loosening of the cords that tx/und his feet so that he could walk, and the breaking off of toe cerement that bound his hands so that he could stretch out his arms in saluta tion, and the tearing off of the bandage from around his jaws so that he could speak. What would resurrected life have been to Lazarus if he had not been freed from all those cripplements oi his body? I am glad that Christ commanded his complete eman cipation, saying: “Loose him, and let him go.” The.unfortunate thing now is that so many Christians are only half liberated. They have been raised from the death and burial of sin into spiritual life, but they yet have the grave clothes-on them. They are like Lazarus, hob bling up the stairs of the tomb, bound hand and fool, and the object of this sermon is to help free their body and free their soul, and I shall try to obey the Master’s command that comes to me and comes to every minister of religion: “Loose him, and let go.” First, many are bound hand and foot by religious creeds. Let no man misinterpret me as an tagonizing creeds. I have eight or ten of them; a creed about religion, a creed about art, a creed about social life, a creed about govern ment. and so on. A creed is something that a man believes, whether it be written or un written The Presbyterian Church is now agitated about its creed. Borne good mm in it are for keeping it because it was framed from toe belief of John Calvin. Other good men in it want revision. I am with neither party. Instead of revision I want substitu tion. I was sorry to have the question dis turbed at all. The creed did not hinder us from offering toe pardon and the comfort of the Gospel to all men and the Westminster Confession has not interfered with me one minute. But now the electric lights have been turned on the imperfections of that creed—and everything that man fash ions is imperfect—let us put the old creed re spectfully aside and get a brand new one. It is impossible that people .who lived hun dreds of years ago should fashion an appro priate creed for our times. John Calvin was a great and go6d • man, but he died three hundred and twenty-six years The best centuries of Bible study have fWtRamte way. bogie has its toe and meta physics has it* ase, but they are not good at -eeds. A gardener hands you a rose, dewy fresh, bat a severe botanist comes to you with a rose and says: “I will show you the structure of this rose.” And he proceeds to take it apart and pulls off the leaves and he says: “There are the petals,” and he takee out the anthers and he eays: “Just look at the wonderful structure of these floral pillars,” and then he cuts the stem to show you the juices of the plant. So logic or metaphysics takes the aromatic rose of the Christian religion and says: “I will just show you how this rose of religion was fashioned;” and it polls off of it a piece and says: “That is the numan will,” ana another piece and says: “This is God’s will,” and an other piece and says: “This is sovereignty.” and another piece and says: “This is free agency,” this is this and that is that. And while I stand looking at the fragments of the rose palled apart, one whom the Marys took for a gardener comes in and presents ms with a crimson rose, red as blood, and says: “Inhale toe sweetness of this, wear it on your heart and wear it forever.” I must confess that I prefer the rose in full bloom to the rose pulled apart. What a time we have had with toe dogma tics, the apologetics and the hermeneutics. The defect in some of the creeds is that they try to tell ns all about the decrees of God. Now the only human being that was ever competent to handle that subject was Paul, and he would not have been competent had he not been inspired. 1 believe in the so vereignty of God and I believe in man’s free agenev. but no one can harmonize the two. It is not necessary that he harmonize them. Every sermon that I have ever heard that at tempted such harmonization was to me as clear as a London fog, as clear as mud. My brother of the nineteenth century, my brother of the sixteenth century, give us Paul’s statement and leave out our own. Better one chapter of Paul on that subject than all of Calvin’s institutes, able and honest and mighty as they are. Do not try to measure either the throne of God or the thunderbolts of God with your little steel pen. W T hat do you know about the decrees? You cannot pry open the door of God’s eternal counsels. You cannot explain the mysteries of God’s government now, much less the mysteries of His government five hundred quintUlion of years ago. I move for a creed for all our denomi nations made out of Scripture quotations pure and simple. That would take the earth for God. That would be impregnable against infidelity and Apollyonic assault. That would be beyond human criticism. The de nomination, whatever it* name be, that can rise up to that will be the church of the mil lennium, will swallow up all other denomi nations and be the one that will be the bride when the Bridegroom cometh. Let us make it simpler and plainer for people to get into the kingdom of God. Do not hinder people by the idea that they may not have been elected. Do not tag on to the one essential of faith in Christ any of the innumerable nonessentials. A man who heartily accepts Christ is a Christian and the man who does not accept Him is not a Christian, and that is all there is of it. He need not believe in election or rep robation. He need not believe in toe eternal generation of the Son. He need not believe in everlasting punishment. He need not be lieve in infant baptism. He need not believe in plenary inspiration. Faith in Christ is t&e criterion, is the test, is the pivot, is the indispensable. But there are those who would odd unto the tests rather than subtract from them. There are thousands who would not accept persons into church membership if they drink wine or if they smoke cigars or if they attend the theater or if they play cards or if they drive a fast horse. Now I do not drink wine or smoke or attend the theater, never played a game of cards and do not drive a fast horse, although 1 would if 1 owned one. But do not substitute tests which the Bible does not establish. There is one passage of Scripture wide enough to let all in who ought to enter and to keep out all who ought to be kept out: “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Get a man’s heart right and his life will be right. But now that the old creeds have been put under public scrutiny, something radical must be done. Some would split them, some would carve them, some would elongate them, some would abbreviate them. At the preoent moment and in the present shape they are a hindrance. Lazarus is alive, but hampered with the old grave clothes. If you want one glorious chi free and unencumbered take off tb coming in for a cup a whole battery of sepulcher. Step oat Into noonday. We come around you to move your grave dothee, and a voice the heavens, tremulous but omnipotent, commands: “Loose him, and lf»t him go.” Again, my text has good advice concern ing any Christian, hampered and bothered and bound by fear of his own dissolution. To such the book refers whenit speaks of those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. The most of us, even if we have the Christain hope, are cowards about death. If a plank falls from a scaffolding and just grasesour hat, how pale we look. If the Atlantic Ocean plays with the steamship, pitching'' it toward the heavens and letting it suddenly drop, how even the Christian paseonzws pester toe stew ard or stewardess as to wWber there is any danger, and the captain. wtuT'has been all night on the bridge and cbjlsd through, in for a cup of voffee, is assailed with of questions aa to what he thinks of the 'weather Ant, many of the best people are, as Paul -* T * fefc may hout their lifetime in bondage byftar of death. My brothers and sisters, if we made full use of our religion we would soon get over this. Backed up oy the teachings of yo«r Bible, just look through the telescope soma bright mght and see how many worlds tfeere are and re flect that all you have seen compared with the number of worlds in existence are less than the fingers of your right hand as compared with all the fingers of the hu man race. How foolish tkeu for us to think that ours is the only world fit for us to stay in. I think that all the stars are inhabited and by beings like the human race in feelings and sentiments and the difference is in long respiration and heart beat and physical con formation, their physical conformation fit for the climate of their world and our physical conformation fit for the climate of our world.- So we shall feel at home in any of th^ stellar neighbor hoods, our physical limitiRRons having ceased. One of our first realizatioAafe getting out of this world, I think, will be t tat in this world we were very much pent up fmd had cramped apartments and were kept c&the limits. The most even of our small worn is water, and the water says to the horton race: “Don’t come here or you will drow^.” A few thou sand feet up the fdmCephfcTe is unin habitable, and the atmosphere says to the human rac >: “Don’t come up here or you can lot—breathe." A few miles down the eartl is a furnace of fire, and the fire says: “Don ; come here or you will burn.” The caverm of the mountains are full of poisonous gas< i, and the gases say: • ‘Don’t come here or you' ill be,asphyxiated.” And, crossing a rail trac ■ you must look out or you will be crushed, knd, standing by a steam boiler, you must 1 ok out or you will be blown up. And pneu: lobias and pleurisies and consumptions and i joplexies go across this earth in flocks, in di ives, in herds, and it is a world of equinox^ and cyclones and graves. Yet we are ut j er the delusion that ft is the only place fit to stay in. We want to stick to the wet pla- k ’mid ocean while the greest ship, “the Cit- of God,” of the Celestial line, goes sail, ig past, and would gladly take us up in a life boat.

C‘. ago. ■■■ come since then, and explorers have done their work, and you might as well hare the world go back and stick to what Robert Ful ton knew about steamboats and reject the subsequent imnrovemencs in navigation: and go back to John Guttenberg, the inventor of the art of printing, and reject all modern newspaper presses, and go back to the time when telegraphy was the elevating of signals or the burning of bonfires oa the hilltops and reject the magnetic wire, which is the tongue of nations, as to ignore all the •exegetes and the philologists and the theo logians of the last three hundred and twenty- Tiix years and put yqur head under the sleeve of the gdwn of a sixteenth century doctor. T could call the names of twenty living Presbyterian ministers of religion who cornu make a better creed than John Calvin. The Nineteenth century ought not to be called to sit at the feet of the Sixteenth. “But,” you say. “it is the same old Bible, and John Calvin had that as well as the pres ent student of the Scriptures.” Yes; so it is the same old suu in the heavens, but in our time it has gone to making daguerreotypes and photographs. It is the same old water, but in our century it has gone to running steam engines. It is the same old electricity, but in our time it has become footed errand boy. So it is but new applications, new uses, new interpretations. You must remember I that during the last three hundred years ! words have changed their meaning and some of them uow mean more and some less, x do i not think that John Calvin believed, aj soqve say he did, in toe damnation of infanta, al though some of the recent hot disputes would seem to imply that there is such a thing as the damnation of infants. A man who believes in tbp damnation of infants himself deserves to lose heaven. I do not think any good man e-nild _ admit such a possibility. What Christ will do with all the babies in the next world I conclude from what He did with the babies iu Pales tine when He hugged them and kissed them. Whan some of you grown people go out of this world your doubtful destiny will be an embarrassment to ministers officiating at your obsequies, who will have to be cautious so as not to hurt surviving friends. But when the darling children go there are no me a lightning the old Bible, “if*” or “but*” or guesses. T We must re. ■tomher that good John Calvin was a logi cian and a metaphysician and by the procuv- ttte 9t .his o» tor? pot soma tbmg? to an tu. and let her go! Again, there are Christians who are under sepulchral -shadows and hindered and hoppled by doubts and fears and sins long ago re pented of. What they need is to understand the liberty of the sons of God. They spend more time under the shadow of Sinai than at the base of Calvary. They have been sing ing the only poor hymn that Newton ever -wrote: ’Tis a point I king to know. Oft ft causes anxious thought— Do 1 love the Lord or no. Am I His or am I not? Long to know, do you? Why do you not find out? Go to work for God and you will very soon find out. The man who is all the time feeling of his pulse and looking at his tongue to see whether it Is coated is morbid and cannot be physically well. The doctor will say: “Go out into the fresh air and into active life, and stop thinking of yourself and you will get well and strong.” So there are people who are watching their spiritual symptoms, and they cqll it self-examination and'they get weaklier and sicklier in their faith all the time. Go out and do some thing nobly Christian. Take holy exercise ana then examine yourself, and, instead of New ton’s saturnine and bilious hymn that I first quoted, you will sing Newtpn’sother hymn: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, imt now am found: Was blind, bnt now, I see. What many of you Christians most need is to get your grave clothes ®ff. I rejoice that you have teen brought from the death of sin to the life of the Gospel, but you need to get your hand loose and your feet loose and your tongue loose and your soul loose. There is no sin that the Bible so arraigns and punctures and flagellates as the sin of unbe lief, and that is what is the matter with you. “Oh,” you say, “if you knew what I once was and how many times I have grievously strayed, you would understand why 1 do not come out brighter.” Then I think vou would call yourself the chief of sinners. 1 am glad you hit upon that term, for I have a promise that fits into vour case as the cogs of one wheel between toe cogs of another wheel or as toe key fits into the labyrinths of a lock. A man who was once called Saul but afterward Paul declared: “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinuers, of whom I am chief.” Mark that —“of whom I am chief.” “Put down your overcoats and hats and I will take care of them while you kill Stephen” —so Saul said to the stoners of the first martyr—“I do not care to exert myself much, but I will guard your surplus apparel while you do the murder.” The New Testa ment. account says: “The witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet whose name was Saul.” No wonder he said: “Sin ners, of whom I am the chief.” Christ is used to climbing. He climted to the top of the temple. He climbed to the top of Mount Olivet. He climbed to the top of tha cliffs -about Nazareth. He climbed to the top of Golgotha. And to the top of the mils and the mountains of your transgression He is ready to climb with par don for every one of you. The groan of Cal vary is mightier than the thunder of SinaL Fuli receipt is offered for all your indebted ness. If one throw a stone at midnight into a bush where the hedgebird roosts, it im mediately begins to sing; and into the mid night hedges of your despondency these words I hurl, hoping to awaken you to anthem. Drop the tunes in the minor key and take the major. Do you think it pleases the Lord for you to be carrying around with you the debris and carcasses of old transgressions? You make me think of some ship that has had a tempestuous time at sea, and now that it proposes another voyage, keeps on its davits the damaged life-boats, and the splin ters of a shivered mast, and the broken glass of a smashed skylight. My advice is: clear the decks, overboard with all the dam aged rigging, brighten up the salted smoke stacks, open a new book, haul In the planks, lay out a new course and set sail for heaven. You have had the spiritual dumps long enough. You will please the Lord more by being happy than by being miserable. Have you not sometimes started out in the rain with your umbrella and yon were busy thinking and you did not no tice that the rain had stopped, and though it had cleared off you still had your umbrella up, and when you discovered what yon were doing yon felt silly enough? That is what some of you are doing in religions things. Yon have got so used to sadness that though tb# rain has stopped you atm have your mpbrrila up.

The latest improvemett in artificial limbs consists in forming the kg and foot port of a single piece of wood, hav ing the grain curved naturally in its growth, such pieces being procured from toe parts of the trunk contagious to the k roots and branches of trees. Limbs made in this way are stronger with the same amount of wood remaining in them than when made of parts and -glued together, and are made waterproof, which is a valuable feature when toe occupation of the wearer exposes it to constant damp ness, or to water itself, as in fishing, mining, dredging, etc. By making limbs in this manner from natural curves in toe growth of the wood, it has become practicable to make light and substantial artificial feet, adapted to partial ampu tation of the foot. The advantage de rived from lightness of artificial suhsti- , tutes will readily he apparent when the I resistance to motion from inertia is cor- sidered. A Few Poistera.
