BIRDS' 8EN8E OP HUMOR*
Man of Experience Award* Palm to
Roast Duck.
/'I was reading a magazine article
the. other day? I'm always rending
something," said the hardware mer
chant, "that had It that fc)r. Kennedy
had discovered (hat birds .l^itve a sense
of humor. One of his anecdotes wan
to the effect that a robin wax feeding
her -young with earthworms, when a
crow, feigning lameness, appeared on
the edge of the nest with open taouth
and claimed a share of the meal. The
l'phln looked the Intruder over, plclu d
up a bit of dead twig that resembled
u worm, and hastily thrust It Inio bis

he nearly choked to death before Jjc
realized that he had been deceived/*- I
ean easily believe that, but I've al
ways thought that the bird whose
sense of humor whs most highly de
veloped was the duck. A roast duck
will havo more fun with you In a
dumb, solemn kind of way than any
thing that weal's feathers. 1 don't
except women or Indians.
"I've taken carving lessons and 1

ami to redeem for eternity every sin
ner who will he saved- The nature of
the sinner, as ereateil, precludes the
idea or the possibility of compulsion.
There Is, however, u too general ten
dency to dlftcoUIll Scriptural teachings
? to feel that (Jod, having done so
much for man, will do more, (hat, In
some way, a comfortable and blissful
future is assured us, even though un
belief and disobedience mark our con
duct hero. The apostle combats such
a conception. Jesus Himself contra
dicts it: "Ye cannot serfe < loci and
Mammon." The Scriptures uniformly
oppose it by precept and example.
It is my task this morning to en
force this thought: All men are re
deemed by Christ; but wo are not
saved from our guilt and its fixed
penally until wo are in accord with
Christ and the divine plan. What the
?owing is the harvest will he. This
Is the truth as taught us.
Our text is a warning -an uumlstnk
ii hie danger signal. This warning Is
given In view of real dangers appar
ent to all observers of human nature.
It assises Us that (Jod does not make
spiritual or moral paupers of men.'
Men cannot be redeemed without <fod;
but, in the divine economy, <2oi} doe#
not save the man without the man
himself. The man, in addition to
(bid's work, must work out his '<nvn
salvation. For man there is a sowing
and there is a reaping. There is good
seed for sowing in moral and spirit
ual Koil; there is otlur seed whieb de
velops degraded human character.
Man Selects his own seed and sows it.
The send proceeds to follow the law
of nature. ? It brings forth after its
kind noisome weeds or golden grain.
it is mi eternal harvest of "corrup
linn" or of "everlasting life." Kveu
if nmn 1?p deceived, * ? oil is not mocked.
'i S i i < Scripture warns us flint every
mortal lias freedom to direct his own
career within well known fields, tor
goed or ?*\ II. Above ;liv human actor
is flie 1 ii vino Governor, who will not
r. impel liiunan loyally, hut who, ml
fnt? in more extensive fields than lliu
merely finite ntuL human, invariably
directs She mortal )to flu* future his
iwu freedom has' chosen, to the roup*
i is l? of flu* harvest his own life lias
sown. Thus It is clear that man's ;
destiny Is i 11 his own control.
If becomes apparent that tills uni
versal governor in administering his
government is not anarchic. lie is the
supreme exponent <?f order and la\y,;
lie, (lie arch-opponent of confusion.
All disorder lends fo confusion, in
particular as in universal dominion. {
The human sinner Is a begetter of
confusion in that lie interferes with
law nnd order, lie thus challenges
(lie divine wisdom, power and will,
lie Is a rebel against the Creator and
Ruler of all things. Were all nature
to follow him, the original elirtos and
anarchy would prevail In ad realms.
Perfect order in human life would
bring man to the perfect destination
for which he was originally designed.
That perfect order becomes a real f.u t
foe man through .Testis Christ, who is
tluv exemplar of flint order. "Who Ilis
own self bare our sins in Ills own
body on the tree, that we. being dead
to sin, should live unto righteousness;
by whoso stripes ye were healed." If
we encourage sin in our lives, if we
do not persistently resist (lie devil, we
nre sowing accursed seed; we are not
dead fo sins, we do not live unto right
eousness; consequently, that perfect
M'der is not an actuality for us, though
if remains a possibility, because of flu*
divine merry and our ability fo sow
the seed of repentance, l'v-i< bid's help,
if we will.
Evidently, then, the glorious domin
ation of man as described in Scripture,
bringing the. creature back to Ins lost j
estate, where ho is conformed to the
imago of Him who is the express
image of Clod's substance, is not an
arbitrary goal to which every creature
move whether or no. The attainment
j of that destination Is a matter of
choice and decision on the part of the
creature that decision and choice in
dicating his accord with the will and
plan of tho Creator. Man has a goal,
a gnat purpose for living, set before
! htm. the "life everlasting" of our text,
| toward which it is his personal re
sponsibility and duty intelligently fo
J direct his way. lie is not like the crick

where, you will remember that lie
spring a foot or so into the air, turns
a somersault or two at each jump.
\ his course being zigzag and uncertain,
as likely to terminate in one place as
another, so far as you can determine.
Many mortals do resemble the insect,
with this exception, that the unintel
ligent, zigzag course cannot possibly
bring them to the right destination.
That this zigzag course exists indi
cates that the truth has Ikmmi perverted.
Men ha\e been deceived. In their con
fident intellectual self-conceit they
have proclaimed various modifications
of the Christian plan as wo possess it.
In their reasonings and speculation?
they have argued that a loving God
would not (fo this, that He womd not
do that: that a just tJod would act
thus and so. and would not act In cer
tain ether ways. So they have an
nounced their conclusions that all will
eventually be saved, whatever th?lr
lives' sowing tuay have been; or that
Immortality is conditional, that the In
corrigible will not suffer eternal pun
ishment, but that finally they will bo
annihilated, utterly destroyed; that
there will be a future probation, nn op
portunity beyond the grave to accept
the divine mercy. All of this Is at
tractive as speculation. The truth Is.
there is no adequate warrant In tho
Holy Scriptures for any such hopes.
God says. "Be not deceived." God in
sists that the eternal life is a har
vest following a seed sowing.
In practice, too, there -are dangerous
theories, for "as a man tbinkcth in
his heart, so la he.** If ho makes him*

wealth and extensive business Inter
ests is reported to have said. That
"something" which you put in Is not
money, or words, or deeds. These, one
or all, may he a symbol of that "some
thing." The thing put in must be a
self-surrender to Cod, an acceptance
of the Divine will as our standard of
conduct. If Mr. Rockefeller is destb*
tute of tills disposition of moral self
snrrendcr, ail iijs great gifts are not j
sufficient to win 1>1vJ;j?^ J
None can buy the gift of God. Cod is
too rich to sell, and man is too poor to

cient Pharisees had. It is wors? than

and be heedful of the sowing.
There are men active in political life,
professed Christians, who, according to
rumor? in some Instances the rumor
has been proved fact in court? are the
recipients of peculiar favors popularly
known as "graft." It's custom. Oth
ers do i i , they say. Yes, and it's il
legal, dishonest; it's perjury, too. Sec
retary Ronaparte does yell to Insist
that this species of dishonesty is a
grave menace to tho nation. The book
says, "Re not deceived." I speak to
young men. Sumu of you may hold
political position, as you row hold busi
ness places of responsibility. I speak
forcefully, for I know your possible
temptations. Abhor any moral com
promise in politics, in business or In
social life. The man who leads a
double life is a doomed man. lie may
not be condemned to prison by a jury
of his peers; lilfc Integrity may escape
question because of prevailing laxity
or personal shrewdness. Rut, "Re not
deceived; Cod is not mocked." "Re
sure your sin will find you out." All
souls reap, gathering us they itavo
sown. Thank God, there are men,
many of them here and everywhere,
?who are above reproach. May their
tribe increase.
So we deceive ourselves. ? In our sclf
decelv'd state, we may find a sort of
comfort; wo are with the crowd; our
chances are as good as another's; we'll
turn over a new leaf, now or hereafter.
"Cod is not mocked." We cannot treat
Cod contemptuously, as we may our
fellows. As truly as seed brings a like
harvest, so truly our derision of God
resolves itself into despair. The insult
to I>eity always reverts to the insulter.
Men must not find comfort in the
thought that such willful disorder on
their part can produce order hereafter.
If the sowing be sin, disorder, the reap
ing must be. confusion.
Christianity offers humanity its
greatest conceivable opportunity, but
humanity must embrace the opportun
ity.

Irreversible. "Open? toward Jerusa

stition. but a recognition of <j<nP^
promise to Solomon <1 Kings 8:35-44),
who bad In his prayer at the dedica
tion of tlio temple entreated Clod to
hear the prayers of those who might
he In strange lands or In captivity
when they should turn their faces to
ward their own land and city and the
temple. It whs an aid to the spirit of
devotion. "Kneeled." Compare 1
King* 8:54; K'/.rn l>:5; Kpli. 3:14.
Kieellng Is a titling attitude for hum
hie pimyer. "Three times a day." Bee
l'?a. 65:17. The three hoursn>f prayer
were the name as the hours of sacrlllce
in the temple. "As he did aforetime."
ilo ?ti<t not swervo a hair's breadth,
lie could have prayed in secret and
been heard, but that cours^ would have
been a public confession of waut of
faith In God and of yielding to the en
em v. Daniel simply went on his daily
path of life, as If no such order had
been given. There was no time when
lie needed to pray more than at this
time. ?. *
II. Wicked men plotting (vs. 1MB).
11. "These men." The princes who
had been (dotting against Daniel.
"Assembled." Ran liastUy, eo as to
nome upon Daniel suddenfy and detect
him In the act. They had heard his
voice and now rushed in upon him.
12. "Law- which Altereth not." It
whs quite common in ancient times to
worship the king. To alter the law
would he a confession of fallibility,
and an abrogation of godhead.
13. "That Daniel." etc. The accus
ers do not mention the high ofllclal sta- .
tlou of Daniel ai>rt his intimate olticlal
relations with the king, but merely re
fer to his foreign birth In order that
they may thereby bring his conduct
under the suspicion of being a political
act of rebellion against the royal au
thority. 14. "Sore displeased." Vexed
lit thus being overreached; for he saw
that It was enmity toward Daniel and
not anxiety for the maintenance of his
authority whloji had led to the plot.
"1. a bored." Endeavoring to lind some
way to evade the execution of the sen
tence. 15. "Know, O king." Their
tone was masterful now, for they felt
oj??^ >-?-?.>#>?? * ?' _ >? uieir
will. Kings are the slaves of their
llntterors. 'ruese wicked men were
('('termined to get rid of the holy. Dan
iel. They hated him.
III. Dsnlcl among the lions (vs. 10
18). 10. "They brought Daniel." Ac
cording to Oriental custom the sen
tence was carried out on the evening
of the same day in which the accusa
tion "was made. "Thy God ? will de
liver." The heathen believed In. the
interposition of (lie gods in times of
calamity. While Darius did not rec
ognize* Daniel's God as the true (Jod,
yet Ire was "a god," and Daniel's char
acter was such tiiat the king believed
his (Jod would deliver him. 17.
"Sealed It." In the days when very
few could read or write signets wer-.
used instead of writing the name. 18.
"Passed the night fasting." The soul
of the pleasiire-lovlng -king was so
stirred that he had no care for food or
sleep. Ills grief was greatly Increased
by his consciousness that this evil
came from his own weakness and sin.
IV. Daniel's deliverance (vs. 19-23).
ID. "Went ly luute." A strange spec
tacle for a monarch of the world thus
to be attending tipon a condemned ser
vant of (Jod. Yet the king had never
appeared to such a good advantage.
20. "Lamentable voice." Deeper dis
tressed and in an agony of anxiety,
lit cried out between liope and fear,
"Servant of the living God." Darius
I borrowed this phrase from Daniel.
God extorted from au idolater a con
fession of the truth. "Is thy God
able." Full of concern, he trembles to
ask the question, fearing to be an
swered with the roaring of the lions
after more prej'.' 21. *"0 king, live
forever." The common salutation in
addressing a king. Daniel might have
Indulged In anger at tlio king, but'dld^
not. Ills sole thought wns that God's
glory had been set forth in ills dellver
nnoe. 22, "Sent Ills angel." Daniel
had company in the den of lions. There
wns no music nor gladness In the pal
ace. but celestial joy In the Intercourse
between Daniel and tlie angel In the
den. Daniel takes care to ascribe his
deliverance to the living God, that lie
may not be confounded with the false
god's of the heathen. He speaks of the
angel as God's Instrument, not the au
thor of his deliverance. "Shut the
lions' mouths."/ Angels had held the
Uons' Jn w.Oind paws and made them
peaceable companions and harmless as
doves. This wos a new and wonderful
experience for Daniel. lie delighted
td relate it to the king, whose voice be
trayed his agony. "Innocency was
found." By this wonderful deliver
ance Daniel learned how God esti
mated faithfulness and how He is
pleased to reward it. ?Jod had shown
Daniel that his disobedience to a
heathen king was not sin. He had
been faithful in what lie believed to
be right, and in the test God declared
him Innocent by his wonderful deliv
erance. "No hurt." Daniel had been
misrepresented before the king as hav
ing evil designs against his authority,
but to the king himself Daniel de
clares lie could not be guilty of such
designs when he was faithful to hit
( r1> . .
23. "Exceeding glad." That the evil
consequences of his folly had been
warded, oft"; that his best counselor
was '.oft to stand at the head of his
government.

Very absurd was a duel" which was
fought not long ago in front of the
railway station ut Antwerp. Two bur
gesses of Liege, after a day's sightsee
ing, adjourned to a cafe for refresh
uteu I, uiiu iuere began a dispute which
led to hot words and Anally to blows.
Nothing but blood could efface the
mutual Insults, but as no deadly wea
pons were available the cafe proprie
tor suggested that the affair could be
just as well settled with douches, and
he provided each combatant with a
portable "wnterplpe. For several min
utes the dualists leveled their chilly
weapons at each other; until, drench
ed to the skin, their passions were so
effectually cooled they were glad to
shako hands and rush away to change
their garments.
Intelligence vs. Docility.
Will people who talk about, 4ogs
ever learn to differentiate between in
telligence and docility? The word
"Intelligent" is used almost universal
ly in talking and writing, when peo
ple mean docility; i. e., the readiness
of the animal to accept instruction,
su^vb Joseph A. Graham In Outing.
Now, as in human b^ngs, docility is
likely to bo an evi?nTO of second
rato Intelligence, an? tho degree of
Intelligence is likely to appear when
(he animal Is doing things on his own
hook. It makes no great difference,
but to the man who tries to think
accurately tho constant porade of an
obedient animal as one of exceptional
'mental ability is painful. ^

All women work ; s<yne in thoir
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
'mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the nover-ceasing treadmill, earning
their d%lly bread.
All arc subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quloklv
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds .of fomule complaints, ovarian
troubles, ulceration, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhoea,
or perhaps Irregularity or suppression
of "monthly periods," causing back
ache, nervoushess, Irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more v susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable thorn to bear easily tho fatigues
of tho day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per
form her household duties when her
??back and head are c/>,,!nr' she is so
"tfrod she cau hardly jjrug about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, tho origin of which is duo to
some derangement of tho female or
ganism.
