T i. SERMON FOE SUNDAY j ? ! IN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED "AFTERWARD." * fh? Kev. J. H. Lock wood. Formerly ?ft he 1 Connecticut Legislature, Declares That tbo Whole Enigma of Life is Solved at Once When You Hold the Keyword. Brooklyn, If. Y?The Rev. J. H. Lockwood. pastor of the Naugatuck (Conn.) 3d. E. Cnurch. preached Sunday morning in ? Grace M. E. Church in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. John E. Adams. Mr. Lockwood is well and favorably known in Brooklyn and on Long Island, where lie has held several pastorates. He was born f and educated in Brooklyn and studied law before he entered the ministry. He had the distinction of being last year the only ' clerical member of the Connecticut Legislature. He took for the subject of his sermon, "Afterward." His text was from Hebrews, xii:2: "Now no chastening, but thp present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby." Mr. Lockwood said: - 1 ) u A juet us consider me single wui-u mtci* ward" as our text. If you grasp that word and its rich content of comfort you will have caught the whole message of the sermon, and you will possess a most valuable solvent for life's perplexing, and often distressing. problems. Human life is a mysterious enir a that v has successfully baffled the efforts persistently made by the profoundest thinkers of our race for its solution. "What is life?" is the still puzzling question of questions. As the biologists and their fellow scientists have not succeeded in telling us just what * that elusive thing we call physical life is, neither have poets, proDhets, philosophers, nor even philanthro- ;ts been able to tell us adequately what real life is. Here is this .strange thing we call life. V with its many and varied phenomena, and the more profoundly and comprehensively we study it the more confused it leaves us. There are experiences positively joyous and 0. experiences positively painful, and there are experiences partially joyous and partially painful, and we look at this great masa of life's complex data and are auite baffled to know the meaning of it all. Still, with our hearts, as well as with our heads, ?'- intprrnca we ask (ijam LUC IUI.|/iicoiU.V .?~-o? tire, "What is life?" Are we, indeed, only a lot of aniraals-y * high class animals, to be sure, but only ani, ma Is, nevertheless, spruntr from the primeval mud and risen to oar present intellectual and moral exaltation and giorr by 1 painful step and slow, on1- to h" plowed under shortly in the great cosmis agricul- i ^ tinp to serve as soil for some future crop, j A a httle finer grained than we? From mud BP mod?that is the program of evolution. 9r, on the other hand, is it some splendid, sweeping plan which we are in, working out for us, the immortal participants, a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory tkat shall thrill the soul forever? Have we been but blind and stuoid workers at the loom of time, weaving an imaginary fabric that really had no existence, even as "one that beateth the air," or are we actually engaged in some real work of marvel^ ous design, whose pattern we see not clearly and in all its comprehensive details, but which our Master Workman knoweth well? Let us look at the three proffered explanations of life. First, there is the doleful and distressing answer of philosophic pessimism which assures us that things are v sot^I* gft>wiag worse - all .the time, the . world is rolling down hill and there are no brakes that can be applied. The world e. now is better than it will ever be hereafter. It you like that view, accept it. No. we must not say it so. Not, do von like it. Hat is it true? That js the way to p.it; for, pleasant or repugnant, we must accept what is true. But this view cannot possibly be true unless the proposition on which it^iis based is also true, the proposition of t the fool who said in his heart, ''There is no God." And in the second place we haVe the answer of philosophic optimism, whieh assents that things are eteadily getting bettap; that, whereas life to-day is far better taan it was 1000 or 10,000 years ago, it will be far better 1000 or 10,000 years benoe. j- Bgt this prevalent theory is scarcely any y improvement on the other, except t? the "*? t'L.'nl.o, fr\T if mal-pc T>A nmvi or to do more tnan our own wut&, uui each one of us is important in his or her own sphere. All the offerings of the wealthv in the courts of the temple o! Jerusalem were well in their time and amount. But the poor widow, who had only her two mites, should not have felt that her gift was unimportant. It seemed as if Jesus sat watching and waiting for that little offering; and the story of her doing her part has been told the world over in the centuries since then, as a lesson and as an inspiration. Even though our part is but a little one, God, as it were, watches and waits for that.?Sunday School Times. The Largor Life. I am quite clear that one of our worst failures is at the point where, haviug resolved like angels, we drop back into the old matter-of-fact life and do just what we did before, because we have always done it, and because everybody does it. and because our fathers and mothers did it, all of which may be the very re- on why we should not do it. There is no station of life, and no place of one's home, where, if he want to enlarge his life in caring for people outside himself, he may not start on a career of enlargement which shall extend indefinitely. And we shall find the answer to our question to be that the man who enters upon infinite purposes lives the infinite life. He enlarges his life by every experience of life.?Phillips Brooks. I>aily Ditties. I cannot say that the true pert of n man, in relation to God, seems t me to be, to give all that is claimed, and claim nothing that is not given. And I profoundly believe that whoever will cheerfully surrender himself to the daily duty and the prayer of faith, will not long be left in the shadows, but will emerge into a light which he knows to be divrne.? ! James Martineau. Utiai UllUJVki. y 4V* * w r- - ; sum* for the perpetuation of pereqnality. Where will you and I be when those far . off improvements* of our race arrive? Thig i materialistic philosophy offers us of the ) present no immortality, and hence no op^ / portunity for the adjustment of life's presv s ent glaring injustices. I am glad to be ieve that the race that shall be resident here 1000 years from now will be a better raoe. But I would like to be in existence somewhere, too. when the better day dawns. And even if I could rise to the superb un^ selfishness like unto that which poets some'* * times sing when, temporarily, they happen * to be in just .that mood, and could say I was content to live and die and cease to exist here or anywhere else if only, as a result of my having lived a while, future generations might be lifted a little higher: ^ stjB, one must feel that that pretty and. 1 after all, rather morbidly sentimental scheme does not satisfy the imperative demands of our souls that wrongs shall be adequately righted, that innocent sufferers shall be compensated and that outraged helplessness shall be avenged. Now comes Christianity, with its ample v answer. It admits all the facts, the apparent injustices of the present, the prosperity of the unrighteous, the triumphing of the wicked, and, on the ?ther hand, the suffering and the seeming defeats of God's heroes and saints in the fierce, hot contest of life; and then it. speaks one, blessed word," "Afterward!"- aid we can 'be paAfter we have beard that divine word we can see the wicked spread himself like a, green bay tree, and still we "rest in the Lord and wait"patiently for Him, and we refuse to fret ourselves because of bim who prospereth in his ways, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." The whole puzzling enigma of life is ? ^ solved at once when you hold the keyword, and that word is the single word of the text, "Afterward!" .That is to say, you can get no satisfactory explanation of this strange and somewhat feverish thing we eall life, unless you think of what is to follow. A noted American orator, in a famous sentence of bis, has told us that we have no lamp with which to guide our feet in the future except the experience of the past. He cont&ded, and rightly, too. that we cannot *Wnner]r estimate the future unless we * faise our judgment on the experience of the past. Now we may go on and supplement Patrick Henry's familiar dictum by saying that we have no lamp to reveal the meaning of the present, except the light of ' t&e future. 1 ''"Afterward" is the word that explains the mysterious disciplinings and * ^ chastenings of the present. If j'ou will grasp that word with firm, e'.hletio grip, it will settle for you all these difficult problems that so frequently confront your soul afid disturb your heart. When you come to some terrific exper_ idnce in life that all but shatters the very . * foundations of faith?when you. 3oul falls i stricken and wounded on life's cru<d battlefield?a thousand arrows of temptaiiori piercing the spirit and many a sword of sorrow thrust through the heart?so that sdl you can do is to cry in agony and terror, . "My God, my God. hast Thou forsaken rasV' Then above the tumult of grief and the roar of the black billows, may God send some ministering angel of memory to ,". whisper with soothing voice this one word. afterward;" and the soft, sweet beauty of it shall solace your aching heart and the ^ peace of God shall once more flood your semi. If vou look at the lives of the great and real neroes of our race you will find they * gamed mighty power from the inspiration of the future. They ker>t one eye on the Afterward." Moses "had respect unto ;0 . v K*\\ v tnc recompense of the reward." Paul could ealm.v lav that wonderful head of his on the block and pour out his life on the high altar of martyrdom because of the power of the "afterward" in his son!. Even Jesus "endured the cross and despised the shame for the joy that was set before Him." And. my brethren, if vis run with patience the race that is set Ik* fore us, we must keeD looking forward, looking unto Jesus, the Captain of our salvation, who was made perfect through suffering. This seems to be the divine ordei*? first the dark, then the light; first the cross, then the crown. And that cross is temporary, the crown is eternal. The late Dr. Maltbie Babcock said, somewhat ingeniously, but vary helpfuliy, that if you take the sharp, severe word, "discipline." and discard the final "e." which is of little or no value,, anyway, and substitute a final "g." you have the tender and gentle word "discipling." That is really what the present chastenings mean ?you are being made a disciple?yon are taking Christ's yoke upon you and learning of Him as-He has invited you to do. You are entering into the fellowship of His sufferings. But. "beloved, if we suffer with Him. we shall also reign with Him?afterward !" After all, how blank and dull, and sadly monotonous life would be without its crises of pain. The problem of Dain?how it has vexed us and how pain has pained us. and yet how it has enriched us! As many a spice plant gives forth its most fragrant perfume " only when bruised and crushed, so a human heart does its best r -* 1 of*-?,, enmo cnffpTl ror otner numan hmuo ? in? grief has visited it. Martinean said: "A world without a contingency or an avonv could have no hero and no saint. There is uo epic of the certainties and no lyric without the surprise of sorrow and the sieh of fear. Whatever touches and ennobles us in ti.e lives and voices of the past is a divine birth from human doubt and pain." The sculptors have a maxim to the effect that "all that is not statue must be hewn away." At first our lives are like a rough and quite meaningless block of marble. with many a too sharp angle and many a blemish. And as Michael Aneelo said of tne stone thrown on the rubbish heap: "I see an angel there anu I must get him out." so God sees the best there is in you and He is determined to bring 1; out. even if He must needs use chisel and maljet. Ana now the blows are struck, the chisel cuts deep, the chips fly. "The more the marble wastes the more the statue grows." Thus continues the divine sculptor His work and labor of love, until there stands forth, afterward, r. elorione soul of majestic dimensions and Christ'.ikc beauty. " *Tis the Master who holds the chisel, and day by day He is chinning whatever environs the form away, That under His skilful cutting the form may be Wrought silently out into beauty, of such degree Of faultless and full perfection, that angel eyes Shall gaze on the finished product with new Mimrisc. That even His matchless patience cpuld grave His own Features upon such fractured and stubborn cfn*\^ " There is, unfortunately. another side to this proposition. For the wicked as well as for th? righteous there is an "afterward." Over that melaneholy scene I would gladly draw the curtain of complete silence. I would fain hold my peace and speak net at all of the wretched sequel .which in the very nature of things must be theirs who hurl defianee at- God's benevolent laws for the souls of men. Just as the tears ef the righteous now shall afterward be transmuted into eternal gems, sparkling forever in the light of heaven, so the very gems of the wicked, the tawdry tinsel ana trinkets and toys that now seem so bright and attractive, will be found, afterward, to be but the perishable accessories of a mad nightmare of revelry and rioting. The empty, idle fallacies with which they sported here, killing time and killing souls, shall afterward become whips that lash them forever, scorpions whose sting is eternal, tears that are never wiped away, but which unceas?glv ecald and scarify the soul like biting ac'ds eating the heart forever. For the devil's dupe the inevitable order is just that?now ^ little temporary pleasure. just enough to bait the soul successfully; and afterward, desolation and anguish indescribable. % * So, to 9um it all up?what kind of an afterward are you going to have? That depends on what kind of a present you are baring. Would you not prefer to suffer afflictions with God's people and afterward have glory unspeakable than to enioy the pleasures of sin for a season, and afterward suffer the inevitable aftermath of despair? Say "yes" t,o that propositior and I will say "Amen." N Seeing; the Beauty. Same persons are always looking for the dark things of life, and of course they find what they are looking for. Others are always looking for the bright things, and they find them. Bishop Nicholson, of Milwaukee, relates that during the first yean o. his ministry parish matters, social and financial, were in a bad way. and straightening them out was slow work. He wa? much discouraged one day when, having gone to New York on business, he stopped to look at the Brooklyn Bridge, then building. A man, covered with dirt, was working on the abutments. "That's pretty dirty work you arc engaged in." said the bishop. "Well, yes," answered the laborer, "but somehow we don't think of the dirt, but of the beauty which is to come out oi our work." "It was the lesson I needed." says the bishop, "and I went back to Philadelphia the better for it." It us" a. lesson which we all need. Happy, indeed, will he those who learn and apply it.?N.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER. tatereet* of Every Town Require Tbat it Shall Be Supported. It is to tlio interest of every town to support a good newspaper, not through local pride alone, but for practical business reasons. A newspaper is conI stantly doing ten times as much for its town as it could ever hope to get pay for?more than it could charge for, if it would. The more prosperous a paper is the more it is able to do. Show us a good weekly paper, full of live local ads., with a general circulation throughout the county, and we will show you an up to date, prosperous, progressive community. Show us a community that persistently proceeds on the idea that the editor of the home paper can live on the "pi" that accumulates in the office, whose official bodies think it a waste of public money to throw him a bit of public printing occasionally at living prices, whose citizens have come to regard it as one of their inalienable rights to worh: him for long-winded obituary notices and "in memoriams," with three inches of hymn book poetry at the end, to say nothing about an occasional notice of a lost cow or some cotton seed for sale, and we will show you a community that is living from hand to mouth and is always on the ragged edge of adversity. People ought to stop to think about these things. It is an important matter. It is their own good that is involved, the welfare and progress of their community, therefore of themselves. A local newspaper is absolutely necessary to any community. No merchant, no grand jury, no town council that spends every year all it can afford with the home paper, whether that expenditure is actually necessary or not, makes a wiser, more profitable investment. . They are not "giving" the home paper something. On the contrary, it is earning every cent it gets, and more, providing it is a paper-worth picking up in the road. And if it isn't that sort of paper it is usually the fault of the town in which it is published.?Atlanta Constitution. Wonderful Sense of Small. inflnlfalr m inn to in list bp the Ill/ TT lUUUlwy ?U*MMVV . -r particles that emanate from the object which the dog is tracking? Yet matter is extremely divisible. The tenth part of a grain of musk will continue for years to fill a room with its odoriferous particles, and at the end of that time will not be appreciably diminished in weight by the finest balance. A cubic inch of air rising from the flame of a Bunsen burner has been found to contain no fewer than 489,000,000 dust particles. A drop of blood whichf might be suspended from the point of a needle contains about a million of red flattened corpuscles. Still, though matter is marvelously divisible, the olfactory nerves are infinitely more sensi tive. Much has yet to be Investigated with regard to the differentiation of the points in these nerve so that they may discriminate with such apparent miraculous accuracy; yet even the results in the scent of dogs show how marvelously fine is their discriminating power. Our sense of smell, unless in the trained chemist, is not even so acute as that of the semi-savage. The aborigines of Peru can, in the darkest night and in the thickest woods, distinguish respectively a white man, a negro and one of their own race by the smell. Much we have gained by civilization; but not without some loss to our bodily energies and senses. Man's recuperative power after an injury is in the inverse ratio to- his social advancement. Similarly he seems to become less acute and delicate in the sense of smell as he fares better and lives more comfortably. The faithful dog puts him to shame.?London Mail. Pepper's Success. The late William S. Pepper used to take great delight in telling the following story on himself: ! "I was bought up in the country, but I from a very early period in my life 1 determined to go away to tne ciry soxuu day to become a big man there. An old neighbor, a great friend of my father, professed a strong liking for me and always-declared that I was gcing to be a successful man. He told it all over the country that Billy Pepper had good stuff in him and was bound to succeed. "Time wore on and I did go away to the city and met with a measure of success. My old friend, when he heard that I owned a hotel, remarked that he had told folks so, and announced j his intention of paying me a visit. "He had never been in town, so I wrote him when he got here to ask for the City Hall, and to come right down here from the station. He did so. When he reached the City Hall he entered and roamed about the big corridors and np and down the steps id perfect amazement. Finally he remarked to himself, as he afterward told me, 'Well, I always knew that Pepper would get ahead in the world, but I'm blamed if i thought he'd ever own anything like this.' "?Baltimore Sun.

One of the most curious sights observed in his recent Bolivian expedi- j tion, according to R. S. Williams of j the staff of the Bronx Botanical Gar- i dens, was the moving sandhills in the desert between Mollendo and Lake Titicaca. This desert, which has an altitude of 4,000 feet, extends over many hundreds of square miles. Except about the stations, there is an absolute lack of living things?not a bush, shrub, or animal?to be seen as the train wends its way through the waste; not even the occasional swordlike grass that one meets with in most other desert countries. However, the monotony of an otherwise tiresome trip was broken by the ! unique sight of the crescent shaped | Sana aunes, waicn ouen auainea nuy feet in length, moving slowly along before the light breeze. Not one, but hundreds of them; every direction in which one looked from out the car window he was confronted with these restless sand dunes, and the experience was so novel that it rather unsettled the botanist's ideas of the solidness of Mother Earth. "Apparently," explained Mr. Williams, "the higher winds on the vast plateau all blow from one direction and sift out the light colored sand, lighter also in weight, from the darker sand and rocks that compose most of the desert, and piles this lighter sand into more or less crescent shaped hills that advance slowly with the wind as it blows the sand on the exposed side over the crest of the sheltered side of the pile. The hills, moreover, not only stand out clearly defined over the darker surface, but their windward eide is covered all over by the most delicate tracery of little waves, much similar to those produced on water by a slight breeze, and they are so numerous that a little distance away the outline of one hill becomes merged into that of its neighbors on either site."?New York Times.
