CHRISTIANITY'S 'pastor Chalmers Vis: i guised as a Atlanta Ck CLEVELAND, (,).? Deo. 2.-Is relig io B tho property alike of rich and poor, or is it the exolnsive possession of those who can afford to dress in purple and fine linen. These are the questions that xor some time past, hare caused the Rev. Andrew Chal mers, pastor of the Durham Avenue Christian Church,, Cleveland, O., many fleeplcBS nights;* The more he pon dered over it, the moro troubled he was over the thought that a religion, bora and nurtured among ihn meek _ J (,,-l.r alwin!/! llOVJi Lo/?/>?*?/? ??f? '~ U?U tis-i'j t ------ - bvW??? ?.u ?ut uUevc the reach of the rank and file of hnmanity as to make it impossible for a poorly dressed man to enter one of our modern Churches without calling -u ..mount of attention lo himself that, to put it mildly, is very embar rassing. Dr. Chalmers decided to put the matter to a practical test and settle to his own satisfaction the length, breadth and height of a poor man's welcome from the ushers and congre gation of a fashionable religious estab lishment. Doffing his clerioal garb, Dr. Chalmers assumed the clothing of an ordinary son of toil, and thus dis guised he visited one of Cleveland's leading Churches. His experiences be reserved for a modest little sermon delivered to his Durham avenue ?look. Bat it was not to be in the nature of things that Dr. Chalmer'o action should pass unnotioed. After he had preached the sermon ho found himself overwhelmed with correspondence, some writers critic i tiing his action, s tb "rs congratulating aim. cae re al! ed to each of them briely and mod estly. Many of his friends urged him to ?till further agitate the question of high toned veraua humble religion, | bathe declined to do so. He has at last consented, however, to tell in de tail the story b? his very interesting exp?riences while on his tour in the ?oise of a poor man, and bia signed statement follows : "If this article will be oontinued as arraying the poor against the Churches ! more than they already ure, it will not ! represent me and will be worse than wasted. I did not make this visit to ! further divorce the workingman from thc Church. I made it to see if the conditions noted in the second chap ter of James were really trae^-and if so, to put the Churches, my own Church especially, to a prooesB of self examination, which would he helpful to the Church sad would fr?tent our being 'respectera of persona' in our assemblies. "I was sick, some ii* hedy jusd n^ucu ia soul, bccauBol felt that the Church es did not have 'compassion -on tho multitude, beoause they fainted sad were scattered abroad as sheep paving no sheph?rd.' Matt, ix, 36. I felt this in mr own work. I was -eo sick, that my -physician told me I could not preach jn Sunday. On Sunday afier potin T felt better and told my wife that I was going to see how far the Churches believed on Jesus Christ and whether er not they believed on Him in respect to the ones with the 'gold ring* and 'tho gay apparel.' I would have preferred to attend. n?y, .wn Church and see how my own-con {rogation welcomed the stranger and tho poor man in poor clothes, but I hew leonid not do that without be ?8f recognised. "? dressed myself in clothes better tfeaa the average man who works on t*e streets at tl or $1.25 per day ?ah afford. The clothes were not ragged, ftey were not dirty. They were not tee clothes that a man would trork ?a ? ?the streets They were Buch isa he ?tight possibly have for Sunday wear. I went to ono of the representative Churohaa in the city of Cleveland. I ie not think thia Church I visited is ?oro to bo blamed for what followed than the rest of us. I am dealing with a condition. Tho Church r visi ted pays the pastor $5,000 to ?8,000 a year.

I tried to put myself in the workingman'H place for the evening .nd yet I had to remind myself that I was not a-workingman and that ? had better clothes at home before I co ul'? be willing to carry it out. I almost felt tempted to tell who I really was to get recognition, but I refrained. "When the men with the silk hats and thone in fashionable attire had been given seats down in front, around me and almost over me, an officious usher, evidently feeling that I was cumbcriug tue ground, pointed out to mplast seat in tho house. He had te bring mo back a considerable distance to givo mc the seat, for I had advanced some way down the aisle to see if I might get recognition. I was not told, in so many words that I was not wanted. There was no one at the door with a club to knock me down and drag me out because of my imper tinence at coming te the Church bf Jesus Christ, the carpenter of Nazar eth, in the olothes of a carpenter. I I felt that if Jesus had come to that Churoh that night it would have been with the words : 'Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hyoorites who I tithe of mint and anise and cummin and neglect the more weighty matters of judgment, mercy anil peace.' "Tho wheta service was fitted for the cultured. The preaching, the singing, the entire servioe w.s very dignified and proper as our services go the so days, hut the poor were not there, and it is not surprising, for they were net wanted. If yon were to ask the pastor of the Churoh if he wanted the poor he would say 'Yes.' If you were to ask she office-bearers in that Church they would say 'Yes, we wel come the poor and are glad if thej come and feel at home in our Church.' The difScuity is in the lack of wel come that ia felt by cac who visits oui Churches in '?hese days. "After the service was oat I stayed around to see if I would be sought oui and asked to come again and made tc .feel at home finally. After standing around for a time and watching the rich greet the rich, and no poor there tn greet, me, I wandered home sickei than when I started out. I was sick in body and sick in soul, for I love thc Church and it hurt me to see the apos tasy in thc life of tho Church whicl is so much worse apostasy than that of doctrine. "I would not care to investigate thc creed of the Church I visited thal night. I. wanted life and not must; theatagy. if I had gone to the Churel ih\srl night dressed in my usual way I would without doubt have been giver tho best place in the house, and possi hly would have been invited to thc pulpit to assist in the opening servi ces. I found that in the estimation of the Churoh the clothes made thc mau and not worth. "I determined ' that night that J would make our Church more epei and see that the men who worked or the strecta shoveling, and tb? man wh( delivers our ice, and the girls whe work ia our kitchens, and the womel who do our washing, should find.oui Church and should find therein mest cordie! and genuine friendship. "1 began aseries of sermons on th< lino of my visits and'kindred subject: and our audiences have been inoreasec by tho hundreds in thc past two. o: three weeks. - I feel that the Chural should be first, not for those who nee? most.

The iives fined with love fceloaj to those lives Siled with hate, even ai Christ belongs to the world morefo what he could do for it than what L could get out of it. "Men of money are feeling more ant more that capital has its duties as we] as its rights. Culture is feeling he debt to illiteracy, and university es tension work is au evidence of sud sense of duty. The characterful ar feeling their belonging to the charac terless and the social settlement wor is the outgrowth of that feeling.

As the Christmas season approaches the usual grumbling about hard tim?*?, empty purses, so many to give to, the difficulty of finding at reasonable price what will be suitable for such and such friends and, above all, the utter impossibility of finding out what "will do for a man," makes itself heard. From now until Christmas Eve the chorus of complaints will go on growing louder end increasing in volume until it culminates in a per fect wail of despair from those who find at the last moment that they have forgotten to buy anything for this or that friend. The usuai resort in these circumstances is to wait un til Christmas morning and then to seiect from thc gift? received tho ob ject one wants ic ?st, and send ri to the person whose name has been omitted from t'h? l'ai.' Should anyone consid er the above statement exaggerated let him take a seat in any of the stores io King street and, while feig?ieg to be occupied in inspecting some article of merchandise, lend an ear to the conversations that are carried on around him by the throngs of shop pers. He will hear little but talk about Christmas presents, not in tones that imply any pleasure in se lecting and giving them, but with complaining and weary voices that in dicate that the speakers regard the whole business as an unmitigated nuisance, and that convince tho Hs tener it would be an excellent thing if the custom of Christmas gifts was abolished, or at least discontinued until the return of "good times." Perhaps when purses begin to fill up and we have a few years rest from worry ing over Christmas,we may begin to re gard it in a different light, and to find pleasure in what should be a delight to eaoh of us. The oddest part of tue affair is tba?, grumble aa they may, every person feels compelled to give. Be they rich ov poor, generoufc or stingy, all are afraid te set custom at defiance and to say that ?hey wiii accept, nothing and will give nothing thia yetti because they do not feel their means suffi cient to justify any outlay for things so unnecessary as are Christmas gifts. Of course many of the presents ex changed arc very acceptable, and persons pf good sense endeavor to so select them that they will be either useful or ornamental, but a great deal of what is given is the veriest trash, and no amount of bows, wrapping in silver payer and tying with "baby rib bon" will make it anything else. llath?v than compromise so with our conscience, would it not bc better to be honest with our friends and tell j them we cannot afford to give anything worth their accepting; or. if we can afford tc give, why not make an effort to find out what they should like? Qf course some of our readers will ex claim with horror at such plain deal ing and laek of sentiment, but senti ment has been almost banished from the custom of giving away, and any pretence of it ia mostly a sham. The true value of a Christmas pres ent ie entirely independeut of ita in trinsic worth, although there are some mercenary souls who judge only in that way of everything received, and who care for nothing that hat net cost con siderable money. Important as is the spirit that inspires a gift, the spirit in whioh it ia received is cf equal im poi-tanee, and nothing is more chilling to a generous person than to find that he to whom he has given something is oppressed with a sense ef obligation until he eau return a still more costly gift. The things that detract mos? i from one's pleasure in receiving a gift are, first, the realisation that it is a duty gift, ?and not prompted by anj special desire to give happiness, and tho ioappropriateneaa of it, whioh shows bat too plainly how little real thought was given to its selection. The latter is the outcome of tho ex pression so frequently heard at pres ent about the difficulty of finding "something that will do." If we care at all about a friend it is not "aome jthiqg that will do" we send him, but something that has cost us thought in selecting, and that we hope will prove useful and acceptable "Vye saw recently a suggestion for a Christmas book that was a very good thing. It is a blank book, bungin Borne conspicuous place in the ho uso for some time before the fcolidpv sea son. To it a pencil is attached, and it bears on the outside in letters of gold au invitation to eaoh member of thc family to make his or her wanta known. With the children it takes the place of tho very popular letters to Santa Claus that are so frequently written by the little folks and placed in the chimney in the belief that that is tho nearest postoffie tc tho dwelling of the good-natured saint, and that be will bo B?ro to bring at Christmas the special toy or book for which tho writer aBka. The book is equally use ful to the elders, as it saves a great amount of puzzling over gifts, and of unsatisfactory shopping for things which no one want* after they get them. As each writer can express his desires freely and in an imperson al manner, it gives ai widv) ohoico, as things may bo ?eked fov varying in f a?s?s ira? ? ??k4 .?* a ?U?dsd ring j to tho simplest object, asd those who I wish to give can .be as generous or as economical as their nature prompts or their purse allows. Thc Hame good sense which should ? direct us in choosing gifts for our i friend? should guide us also in our t giving to thc needy. It does not re quire any very deep thought or any i great stretch of imagination upon our < part to know what are tho most press- i ing wants of those whom wo would t benefit, and the appropriateness of our present adds much to its value. If wo are animated by tho true spirit 1 of Christmas thc gifts we make to those who really need our help will give us far greater satisfaction than those wo give to our friends, who can and will give us in return. If wo re member the fact that the whole world lying in darkness and the shadow of death received from Heaven on Christ mas day the priceless gift of eternal lifo, if it will accept it, and that we can give nothing in return, it should so fill our hearts with gratitude that our first thought will bo to give hap piness to others in whatever way we can 19 testify d our thankfulness. There art? many to whom the coming of Christmab will bring the most mournful though ?'t a8 they remember the loved ones who haye been called away from earth sinee the *a8fc Christ mas time. Would it not sot"*00 their sorrow if they dedicated the ??.,0uut that would have been spent in gild8 for those lost friends to some chari table objeot? The affliction that does not move the heart to greater thought fulness and kindness to those who arc sad and suffering has failed to teach tho lesson that it is intended to give to each of us.-Charleston Sunday News. Reflections of a Bachelor. When a man reads a newspaper sit ting between two women in a street oar, he always pretends that he never bothers with tho woman's page. There are lots of woman haters that you never hear of because they're married. The proof that men are vainer than women is that they are too vain to show it. A girl is never really in love with a man until she thinks of him when she says her prayers at night. A woman can never be very bad after she has once learned that her little child measures its ideas of God by her. Men are more curious than women, because there aro more funny things in women to bc curious about. A woman can always get even with her husband by buying a Christmas present and having ? charged. The man that puts on a nonchalant air when he asks a woman to marry him is thc same boy that used to whistle when he went past a graveyard at night: The first month a man is married he says ''my wife" every IO minutes. After he has been married five years , nobody would ever kno\. he had a wife. - An engagement ring is one a girl puts cn her finger to show off before the other girls. A wedding ring is one a woman puts on to remember \ something by and then forgets what it j was. i A man will dig up the whole yard when he wants to go fishing and not find near so many worms as he does ( when he spades up one flower bed*the j next day. , When a man gets beaten in an argu- < ment he always tries to act as if he ' had thought that way all along and ; only wanted to draw the other mao , out. 1 Married men get to be such good friends because they always act sorry ! for each other ; married women never ' do, because each one knows the other would never admit that she wished she hadn't. The easiest way to find out what a girl is like is to get chummy with her . bosom friend. A man is a slave to his own opin ion ; a woman is a slave to the opin ions of her husband. The first sign that a woman wants you to love her is when she lectures you because you smoke too much. Marriage is generally enongh to . take tho conceit out of a woman. It takes lots more than that with a man. Ono of the most subtle kinds of flirtation is when a man refrains from tolling another woman that he is hap py with his wife.
