Dr. X. 7?IcGoe Waters Says Thai v A jt'Yau Woulfl ,\^laia Earthly Profperlty Christ )Iu?t De Your Teaclier-The True Prescription For All Scholarship. P.rtootn.vv. V.?Dr. X. MeGee vva tcrs, paster of the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, took as his subject ^ ^ Sunday morning. "Rewards of Righifeous* " ness." Iiis text was from Matthew vi: 33: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things rfiall be added unto you." Dr. Waters 6aid in the course of his excellent sermon: > y.> From the beginning until now man's * search has been for the golden age. Sometimes he named it the Golden Fleece: sometimes Koly Grail. Plato prophesied it in a republic yet to be. Banyan, alter a weary pilgrimage, found jt beyond the Delectable Mountains. Baeon saw it in /Atlantis, rising out of the midst of an unsailed sea. It always afar off and in the future. Like the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow, it is always over the next hill. t Jesus also prophesied a golden age? , called it "the Kingdom of God," and found it in the present time. For a long time men went hu gry. and lo! there wes always plenty in the ground?when they "scratched the earth ?ith a hoe it laughed with a ham est." They prized diamonds. n" and lo! they were always in the river beds for :ae finding. They shivered for warmth, r and lo! coal was stored under the hills. Thcv longed for some pack horse, and lo! giants were chained in every flowing river. They were always looking for the golden age. Jesus said: "Look within? the Kingdom 01 God is within you." Men are always expecting the Kingdom ?f Gcd to come through some device of their making. They cry, "Let us have a better government and a better wage, and if we will have the Kingdom of God; let us toil and hoard a mountain of gold, and when our barns are filled we will have the Kirgdom of vrod. Let us search after knowledge,. nd when we are wise we will fca\e the Kingdom of God. Let us trade our strength for popularity and reputation, x when with the laurel we have bound our ' hrnw u-e son!! hp h'psspd." Jesus says just the opposite: "Seek the Kingdom of God and you will have no labor problem, for you will have : n increased T wage; seek the Kingdom of God, and you ,#wili find wealth; seek the Kingdom of (tod. and you will be enrolled among the chil'^-en of immortality." Men say, "Let us get rich and we will be content." Jesus says. "Be content, and you will be rich." Mc~ say, "Let us get wisdom, and we will be happy." Jesus says, "Bo happy and you will be wise. Men say. "If we can gain all these things, like houses and lands, we will be the children of the Kingdom of God." Jesus says, "Enter into the Kingdom of God, and you will have all these things." When will we believe the teachings of Jesus? He was ahead of F s time. We are growing up to Him, to understand Him better than early generations. Ever * say? iag of His we find true as law and fact. Take that saying of His, "The meek shall inherit the earth.*' It was too hard for His age. But time, the great tester, pronounces it pure gold. The wise man everywhere sees the exceeding reward of meekly Cess. They get who forget. Jesus said to His disciples; "It is ex* jpcdient for vou that I go away." They could not believe that then^ But when a Song time hath passed we know that really death is a benefit, and that great men arc never so valuable to their disciples as after they have gone away from the earth. The text, "Seek first the Kingdom of God." ~ etc., is one of those sayings that we have ' to grow up to. Generally men have read it in some mystical way. The*/- have regarded it as true only in some peculiar religious sense. But it is a literal iit-t; it is truth;, it is law of the uyivws-i*. Virtue i* the road to fame., Godhnufti. is profitable in this world. "And all these things shaF h? added." Jf What things? Christ ha# jirst- named them?food and clothes ami tie material prizes for which men st*t?e-. Men are swayed by motives as tr?*?s *re by the winhs. Tell me what you >-no?i love and I ^will tell you what you wi.l !?<:. You love y knowledge with a passion?the- Greek did and he became a scholar^ y;c love power?the Roman did and rlci^c is yet law 5iver for the nations; you io-re beauty? ohn Keats did and he bsuane a poet. ' y Among the motives that Fjxk.7 men's daily lives, we may put first chew? three?the pursuit of wealth, the gaining of knowledge and the winning oI Panic. How can these things best be won ? According to ? Jesus, by a deep hearted jcsrnh after the Kingdom of God. Wealth?the laws of wealst are the laws ?f righteousness. Knowlsdge?the .kingdom of knowledge is the l^irgdom of God. Fame?"the Lord knoweth. the way of the righteous, but the ways d the wicked shall rot.*' Let us look at the world of vcalth. The * savage has no prosperity; it is only the civilized man who grows rich. What is wealth? Emerson tells us i* begins "with a tight roof that keeps out fhe rain and a gcod pump .that yieids sweet waters, and horses, or a locomotive to rrji.s the land, and a boat to cross the sc.>." Rut. whence come the roof and the DumjJ and the ship and the locomotive? Man did not invent them; he only discovered tfc<rr,i. They are ^ the laws of God dressed up ia clothes of wood and steel and stow". The laws of wealth are the laws cf righVouseess. Men go toward prosperity as the* find the laws of God. Again, how do we get to-alta? There * * are three possible ways. A ' ran may beg : it, he may steal it, cr a oiftn may earn it. j Eut neither pauoer nor 'rej-gar increases J the wealth of the community. Only by j the lawfc of industry and *?*iOfl can we increase wealtn. Rut the hrs labor and vision are the laws of the ivngaom of God. Barbarism he> been, with poverty, defined as "society without iho commandments." Contrariwise, thru, civilization, with all its houses and lit ds and stocks 1 ar.d bonds, is society witr< :he command-; ocnts. Violation cf the laws of God in j every age means bankruptcy. Obedience j to the laws of God ir. every age makes fori * * prosperity. History writes down the tale of einnires. When she writes down "Pyramid*" aad "Parthenon" and "Hanging Carder?," she expresses their desolation bv saying ever their ruins, "These neonle ? .. " .f% * 11 x ? _ x _ __1 _ : m, lorgjt CjOC., a:.ci ncnce incir waste piaces. ; She wrtes down "London," "Chambsr of? Commerce." "Shipyard?." "Temple." "Library." and espressos their glory by saying. "These have remembered God?hence their prosperity." The Bible pronounces "Anathema" i / against those who "make haste to get r-'ch"?that is, they who, despising the laws ^ God, take a short cut to prosperity. T neir wealth i_ poverty: their eain is loss. The mistress \vr.o holds Lack the just wage i'c: i the maid: the borrower v.-ho rekuics to return to the lender; the government that debases its people with debased goiu. mev temporarily tain; but such wealth destroys the possessor and is iike he wrecker's handful of coin, cleaned front -5* ?.he beach to which he has beguiled an argosy: is like the camp follower's bundle <pf iags .tolen from the breast of men j slab, iit battle; it like the coin oi' Juda?-y ! only blcod money paid to buy a potter's; fc. C wherein liberty and justice and prosperity shall at last be burled .n the grave 1 of dishonor. Way back in the Old Testament we have Moses saying: "Thou shad; not have diverse measures in thy sanc^ tuaiy." The words call up for us a scene from that far ofi' time. There are booths with baskets of tigs and grapes and golden * - - - : *' . ? T ' wheat" and 'bottles of oil and silks had cloths, and the merchant has two sets of scales?one scale, v.ith a large pan. in which he bays the grapes from the husbandman. and another, with a *'mail pan, in which he sells the grapes to the housewife. And the King begins to pay his men in debased coin, and hone?tv and integrity and. justice are being exterminated. and there is growing up a people with lying King and lying merchants and ra;se words. The old prophet rises in his anger and says: "A false measure is an abomination unto the Lord." Any falsehood in commerce at last poison* the very foundation of civilization. The city and the nation and the individual man who have forgotten God and His laws do not stand fob a long time in the world of commerce. The laws of wealth arc the laws of Tf vrvi tvniild become rich. if you would attain prosperity. if you would multiply houses and lands and banks, if you would make a desert place bloom as the rose, let Christ be your teacher. "Seek first the kingdom or His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." What is knowledge? How do we gain knowledge? There sits Thomas Carlyie. the lonesomest ir.an in England, and one of the poorest, feeding his shaggy intellect on French revolution, storm of modern ages. When he speaks we call him our greatest prophet and scholar. And his message is: "I have found Cod reigning among all peoples." He writes down for us the laws of divine retribution which run through the nation. Like.the old Scandanavian Titan that he is, he drinks the liquid fire of divine wrath out of the skuil of perished empire. And he smacked his Puritan lips as though it was ?savory wine. Knowledge is finding out divine laws. There is Charles Dickens. He is not satisfied to meet people on the street as we do and shake hands with them and learn their names. But. looking into their hearts and homes and haunts and sins with sympathy, with pathos and with rarest humor, he writes his books. These books become a sort of Bible of the submerged tenth of society, and in them we find written down the great divine laws which govern action and conduct and character. He is the poor man's prophet, because he found oh 'the heart of the poor man the handwriting of God. All knowledge is revelation. ^Seeking the way God made the stars go, Kepler became an asironomer. Seeking the wav the world was made. Wallace became a scientist. .Seeking tlie mysteries and secrets of the human soul and God's doing therein. Kant became a philosopher. Seeking to find out how God wrought upon human nature. Shakespeare penetrated into the soul depths of lago, Hamlet, Desdemona. Richard, Henry and Lear, and transcribing into words what he found written there, he has given us his great dramas. Lo! the dramas of Shakespeare are almost another book of God in which we find written the divine law of retribution and forgiveness and sacrifice and redemption. Augustine comes and his one word is law, but it is the law of God. Browning comes and his one word is inspiration. but it is the inspiration of God. And Beecher and Phillips Brooks come and their one word is love, but it is the love of God. Save he bring us a word of God, the wisdom of the scholar i.; foolishness. Have you ever seen the shimmering of a lake -when the sun was playing in its surface? Have you seen the gleams of sunlight dancing like angels on the water? You know the glory was in the sun, not in the water. The sun was the source; the waters were clothed in a borrowed glory. If you have ever stood in a great valley surrounded by mountains, and heard the echoes repeated from mount to mount, some loud, some soft, some distant, some near at hand, you know the voice was not in the mountains. The mountains only carried the voice. So great scholars are only waters and mountain peakIt ia God Almighty who speaks. Tt is His glory that shines. There is a difference in men. The difference between great men and little men always consist in this?the greai man is always listening for the voice of God. The little man is taken up with the sound of his earthly on-going. The Jews heard a sound afcd said: ' It thundered.'* Jesus standing with them knew "it was an angel tliat had spoken unto Him." Wisdom is revelation. There is no. other way if you would be a scholar; if you would wear a scholar's crown and hive a scholar's power, you must seek and know face to face and to find out His ways, which are above our ways, and His words, which are above our words. Here is the prescription for all scholarship: "Seek first the Kingdom of God a.nd His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." In every age men believe that fame can be bought for a price, and so they 'tear down tneir warehouses and build larger. So they multiply their fleets until their white sails cover every sea; so-they get for ' 3 AM/) ijfnol'C themselves houses ana ianu? ?uu and bonds. When they die the market drops down for a dav or a week and. then the world goes on. Vou do not know the names of any rich men in Athens or Rome or Thebes or Babylon. You may know the name of some orator or sorie scholar who had wealth, but you do do not know the name of any man who lnvd nothing but wealth. There was a man who laid the foundation of his fortune in the days of the Stuarts. He was a powder manufacturer. He drove his coach and four and lived in a palace. He built silken nests for his children. He had been an ardent Royalist, but when the Revolution came, he said: "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, if taken in its flood. leads on to fortune." And he cut off his powdered curls and left off his jeweled sword. He even sang psalms. He turned Puritan. He turned his back on the catke'hal and went to worship in a Puritan conventicle. He had his reward. He got tire contract lor making pcv.der for Cromwell's army and became a multi-millionaire. And when the restoration came he grew again his Van Dyke bani-d, he again wore his velvet doublet he ugi.o went to church with prayer book and crucifix. He even stood by and applauded when Cromwell's bones were hung up t-i dry on Tyburn Hill. He quickly became a cavalier and ire had his reward. For lo! Charles, made him a Knight of the Garter and he still fc.ad the contract for making powder for the Ilnglish Array. What vka. his name? Yeu do not know. Xobody knows. You cannot find it written down in any book. Bat in that same time there was a poor man who was a Puritan under the first Stuarts, who was a Puritan secretary of commonwealth under Cromwell, and who was a Puritan blind and poor, an cxiV threatened with his life under the returned Stuarts. He had the pen of a ready writer and the Stuarts offered him gold l.o make the worse appear the better side He said: "Nay, nay, I will live in hunger and I will hear my children cry for bread, but I will not sell my honor. I cai<? not for parties. I strive only for the truth of the Kingdom of God." And everything he ever said iti prose or in poetry is ./till remembered. His name was John Milton, and every school boy knows it by In art. Seek first the Kingdom of God and fame v.ii! lir.U you out. Always the pathway to greatness is along the line oi io/alty to tne Ainguum of God. Seek the Kingdoin of God, that is the great thing. Any a":an who seeks wealth i >v wealth's sake will always Le poor, though he be clad in purple. Any man who seeks first and always the Kingdom ox God will be rich, whether he live in n garret or a king's palace. It is the law of the universe. They who love truth and serve I'.er. receive a true man's rewaid ? houses and lands in the ->reser.t time, and in the time to come, life eternal. Changing an old poem a little: Then to side with truth is noble. Though we share her wrctcaed crust. For her cause brings fame and profit, And 'tis prospexous to be just. . jfj j CCULDMT LIFT TEN POUNDS. ?oan's Kidney Pills Broach' Slrenc'h i and Health to the Sufferer, Maitinj; liim Icel Twenty-Five Years Yoni c >r I- B.

A hybrid of this kind, while not unknown among scientific men, is quite rare, and very few persons have ever seen one. The cir; cumstancs of its birth and life are ! interesting. i Mr. William Karris, living near jkjij mer, had a flock of guineas in the i spring of 1900. These guineas had : the range cf the farm, on which was j a fringe of timber. Mr. Harris and j his raen noticed an English pheasant ; at times in this strip of woods and on a fev; occasions when the guineas 1 ranged near the woods th'e pheasant j mingled with them, but never came i near the house. { After tSis flock cf guineas had laid a number of eggs a neighbor, Jacob Du Bois, bought of Mr.- Harris a setting of eggs, which ' were duly ! placed in a nest under a brooding hen. Now in all well-regulated guij nea families the period of incubation is four weeks, but to the astonish! ment of Mr. Harris, one of the eggs i hatched in three weeks, i The little chick was presented to Mrs. Lizzie Smith. It early exhibited its wild parentage, and its instinct taught it self-preservation. When quite young it showed surprising alertness. After some of the family would try to catch it, carefully placing the hand over it until its back 1 was almost touched; then, quick as a flash, it was away. The fowl fed and ranged with the other farm fowls, and v/hen fully matured weighed seven pounds. Its appearance was not unlike a chicken, except that its legs resembled' those of' a- turkey. It had remarkable ; Strength, and in a few minutes could j scratch a hole deep enough to bury j itself in. It never met a snake withj out giving and winning battle. The Greatest Slave Country. J China is cue great slave country : of the world. Of a population of i 400,000,000 there are slaves to the , number of lu,000,000.

At any age I from three to fifteen girls are sold, j seven or eight being the age at 1 which most change hands. The ! girls are purchased to do house' work, it being cheaper to buy than 1 to hire.

The party were on the top of the turret with Captain Goodrich when a stcopshouldered, slouchy-locking man moved along the deck below, apparently grumbling at all sailors and marines who got in his way. Kis coat sleeves were marked with gold braid (service stripes) half way to the shoulder. "Who is that?" asked one of the party. "Why," said Captain Goodrich, laughing, "that is the real| commander of the ship. At any rate, I believe that he considers me as a more or less^ superfluous figurehead." And then the captain explained that the old fellow was a boatswain, the highest non-commissioned officer in the navy. "He is a type cf the eld seadog new almost "extinct," continued the onicer.
