^A 'y-'" ? \ A SEililON FOR SUNDAY an eloquent d scourse entitled, "glorifying the father." jPreaohetl by the Kev, Dr. Thomas 1?. McLeod, of Brooklyn, N. Y.-W'e Can \ Make God Ileal, "We Can Make the Gospel Sublime. _ Brooklyn, X. Y?Upon his return to his pulpit from his vacation, the Key. Dr. a nomas ?i. jucijeoa, pasior 01 tne wmiun Avenue Congregational Church, preached * an eloquent sermon Sunday morning on "Glorifying the Father." The text was chosen from John xv:S: "Herein is My Father glorified that ye bear' much fruit, so shall ye be My disciples." Dr. McLeod ? said: How vital, dear friends, are all Xew * Testament representations of religion! ^ Compare the Xew Testament with the ethical teaching, or religious teaching of all other books in this respect, and you are simply astonished. There is nothing mechanical in them, nothing formal, nothing institutional?every process is a process of life. It is no use for a man, or for men, to claim that they have Abraham for their l'atbcr. Religion is not a matter of who a man's ancestors were; it is a matter or what a man himself is. Jesus has given us > in one pithy sentence His estimate of the worth of the claim that is based on descent, on heredity, on social prestige, when He says that God could raise up, or make children, unto Abraham out of the very stones of the roadside. The concern that interests God, when it comes to the matter of religion, is whether a- man is a living ? plant or a dead stick. The hedge, though at be a hedge of flowers or roses, in which ? the stake occurs, does not make the stake a living thing. The line of descent in which a man stands, nor the social posi tion he occupies, nor the church of which he is an attendant, or a member, is nothing. The man may after all be nothing better than a dead stake in a hedge. There was a certain fine man, a fine man socially, religiously, politically?one of the vw.-*r\ ir-Ckr* f mo fn UVSt Ui U1CU as alien naiii vuuiv ... to make inquiry on the subject of religion. He was reverent and devout and respectful and courteous and cultured and learned, a leader and teacher of the people, a lec"turer on ethics, but when it came to reli^ gion, Jesus said to that man, '"Ye must be Born again." The vitality of the representation we find in the New Testament rpliSion is its life; "I have come that ye might ave life, and that ye might have it more abundantly." And so of tests. Not simply of the repx rescntations or descriptions of religion, but also of the tests, the New Testament tests of religion. How are we to know that we are living Christians? How are we to know that others are living Christians? Why, the New Testament pushes us up to 1 the point of urgent belief, and insists on it, that the test is fruit, not leaves, not flowers, but fruit, and that fruitfulness is the only essential thing that shall triumph under the test. Jesus may endure barrenness outside of the church, but He cannot > endure it inside of the church. A bramble in the woods is bearable, but a bramble in the orchard, that is intolerable. "By their fruits ye shall know them. Men do not gather figs of thistles or grapes of thorns." "The man of God is perfect, fruitful unto all good works." i How little stress Jesus lays upon those tests that are so universally adopted and applied, and admitted to be sufficiently ad? equate; attendance upon religious ordinances, subscription to creed and statement, routine observance of rites and ceremonies ; He makes nothing of all that, and He comes to us, friends, just as He came to the fruitless, leafy fig tree by the wayside, searching for fruit, not for leaves, not for blossoms, not for florescence, not for es? thetic delight in sacred music, not for fondness of the literary side of religion, not for a keen appetite for well digested and pre% sented truth, but for fruit?fruit, and He comes up closer to us, friends, than anybody else can come?than our dearest and nearest can come?for, after, all, these can . see only outside appearances. He sees reali itics. They see things that pass for good works in us, born, it may be, of wicked ambition or of self-conceit. He sees right down into the centre of the soul, and He is looking for fruit. What shall lie find ia you and me? Fruit or leaves, or just bare Drarches? * The test is fruitfulness. Now that ough t to be an easy, test to apply, and it surely, friends, is a safe test to apply?for you and me to apply to our own selves. But then, some one may say, "Well, what constitutes fruitfulness? I am ready now to lay bare my soul before God; I am ready now to go 1, down on my face before God and apply the test; I am ready now for heart-searching, and to measure myself by this standard, but I want to know what constitutes fruitfulness." "What are the fruits that ( Jesus expects and that I am to look for j and by which I am to measure myself?" Why, the Bib'e is simply full of that. It has set the whole thing so plain, and so fully, and so variously that a wayfaring man though a fool ?eed not mistake as to what fruitfulness :n the Christian life is. Jesus says, "Blesse^ are the poor in spirit." Come now. we are examining ourselves about the fruits. "Blessed are the poor in spirit; blessed are the meek; blessed arc the merciful (the good hearted); blessed are the pure in heart; blessed are the peacemakers; b'esscd are they who have .4. ? -.N5 <? ?ali"cVi nr>TL- nnrl tVl#?r? Vlllt 8. ilUl/ 51Ili^iV a iCiiOU UVM MMM, ? hunger and a thirst after righteousness? Tightness. These are the fruits that the Christian man is expected to grow in his character. An apostle says, the fruits, or the fruit of the spirit, is love, joy, long suffering, patience, meekness, faith, temperance. The fruit that the Christian is to develop, that will be developed, that Jesus will expect if there be life?love?the heart of all srood ness?love to God and love to man. "Who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how shall he love God?how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" Fruit: love ? ?ioy. Joy in fellowship with God; joy in fellowship with believers; joy in service and ministry. Love?jov?peace. Contentment of mind under all circumstances; the harmony of conviction, of thought and affection. Long suffering ? natient endurance not only in affliction, hut patient endurance of wrong and provocation; and meekness and temperance and all the rest. What does fruitfulness mean? It means simply the development or achievement of character that will approve itself to God. But this growth of character does not exhaust the expectation of Christ concerning us. It does not exhaust the fruit which the Christian has to bear. There is other fruit.. You read that passage again and yon will see that" the te^-or of it has to do with fellowship?fellowship with Jesus, fellowTTja nnrnnsa to redeem this world 414 *-*ll-' r ? r -? -- - from sin. Jesus is not thinking altogether I of the good His disciples are to pet through fellowship with Him. but He is thinking also of the pood which His d'sciples are to do through fellowship with Him. Not altogether of what His disciples are to receive, but of what His disciples are to achieve. "Except the branch abide in the vine it brineeth forth no fruit. If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall bring forth much fruit." Oh, friends, we limit the range of the Christian life, and our hearts and minds are so set upon getting, getting, getting? enjoying, enjoying, enjoying?that we are deaf" to the words of Christ concerning doing, doing, doing. Apart from the vine the branch can bear no fruit: apart from the branch the vine cannot bear fruit. And here, friends, we come up to something that ought to bring you and me very lowly before Cod. Lowly, not so much with the ser.?e of mortification and penitence, but with a kind of exultant joy. It befits as to cQsizie always our dependence upea Christ. .-v 4 but here we have Christ confessing His dependence on us. Marvelous thing! "The branch cannot bear of itself except it abide :n the vine," and the vine cannot bear fruit without the branches. The Apostle Paul nuts that thought in another form when lie says: "Ye arc the body of Christ, and members?each severally?members of that body." Apart from the body the members perish. There is no power in the hand, no vision in the eye, no power in the ear to hear the voice of God apart from the body. V."e are the body of Christ: we are the organization through which Christ 1... ? - ___ ,.1.~ WurKS; v.e rtli; llic W.;nii'?uiuu u. Christ builds up His kingdom on the earth. We are the hands of Christ. Christ wants, j Christ desires to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked, and visit the sick, and build homes for the homeless, and open prison doors for those in captivity, but supposing: the hands of the Lord be parj alyzed, how can He do these things? We j are the voice of Christ. Christ wants to publish abroad to the end of the earth the message of God's love and the way of salvation, but if the voice be silent, how can He do it? We talk about the mercy of God having no limitation. We talk about the bourdless pity of God. and we do well, but the pity of God and the mercy of God have their limitations. Not according to the distorted Calvinism which our fathers believed. God's mercy is infinite: God's pity is boundless: His love extends to all men? that we believe: in that declaration we glory; we count it the very flower and coronation of our religion. And yet God's mercy is limited. His compassion is bounded, His pity is shortened by us?by us. According as we are willing or unwilling is the limitlessness of the love of God. Let us take a homely illustration. Here is a friend?a man whom you have always known, a classmate it may be in school, an associate in business?and he has fallen upon evil times and everything that he spent his life in accumulating is gone. You are rich, you are perfectly able to put that man on his feet again: to give him a second chance and another start; you are God's elected minister for that purpose. But you don't do it. God is kindly disposed to that man; God would help that man, and He_has put you in a position to help him. ?ou are Jiis nanus; you are God's ministering agency, but you limit God's'goodness, don't you? God is very pitiful, very pitiful. Ric7t^ men can feed poor men, but they don't do it. No manna falis from heaven to feed those poor men. They starve. God is wondrously pitiful, and there are strong people who are perfectly able to help and comfort -weak and sickly people, but these sickly people die for lack of help. No ministering angel comes down to cool their fever and heal them. Don't you see that we, God's hand, God's voice, the branches and twigs of the vine, limit the fruitfulness of the vine, limit the power of the Almighty? "Herein is Mv Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be My disciples." Friends, the thought is appalling: it oppresses me. When I look at that from one side I am terrified to think that the thing that God wanted done yesterday is not done through my neglect. And yet there is encouragement here for us all. Apart from the vine the branch withers: it can do nothing. Abiding in the vine, the branch bringeth forth much fruit, and we may abide and we may glorify our Father. Glorify Him. Make Him shine with radiance and beauty in the eyes of man. Make God manifest. We can make God real; we can make the gospel sublime in the eyes of those who are living without it. W7e can so tell the story; we can so live our religion; we can so manifest the grace of God in our lives; we can so let our light shine that others?our neighbors and friends, our children and relativesshall glorify our Father in heaven. God Only Is Perfect. Perfection, in every absolute sense, cannot bo found among men?it abides only r_;_ 1 1 witn VxOQ. -vian. at uis ucst, nut An heir of immortality, he is imprisoned into time. Candidate for sainthood, he has a heritage of s n and corruption from the generations of the past. Called to do all things through God strengthening him, he finds that the spirit is willing but: the flesh is weak. Countless perils menace the voyage of the perfectionist. Presumptuous sins often have dominion over him, when he thinks it is not robbery to be equal with God and share with the absolute the attributes of divinity. . Spiritual pride leads him to moral ruin when he is persuaded to forget the hour of prayer because of his conceit that with him every breath is a prayer. The Man of Nazareth was so far from this vanity that He spent whole nights in communion with God on the mountains and in solitary places apart from His companions. The perfectionist, again, is deceived when he materializes the things of God. by asserting for the saints below an earthly empire over disease ar.d J death and by claiming a part in the political rule of the quick-coming Christ ia a millenial reign at Jerusalem. Increasing God's Opportunities. Some one has said that "each human life is another opportunity for God to display His grace ar.d power." So it is, and toe thought will grow upon you as you meditate upon it. Just think, "I am God's opportunity!" Isn't it wonderful? Isn't it glorious? When wo look at others whom God has richly blessed and honored in service we can see how it is. but do we ever think of ourselves as God's opportunity ? Every one that responds to God's call, "Come!" gives God a larger place in the world. Every one who obeys God's command, "Go!" assists God in gaining a larger pia.ee in the hearts of men. Every regenerated heart and life is a new garden in which God plants His seeds of love and grace; a 1 A?t rtf TrViif?h flnw rnnstant XVUUtaiU VUW V* f? ?iivM *.W .. streams of healing power. Take it home, dear young friend, and say to yourself, "I am God's opportunity." J Be that and your life will become unutrerably grand and your experience unspeakably sweet.?A. W. Spoonc-r, D. D. One Thing We Can Do, | Each one in any given place has a responsible share in every other's good work in that place. In some things we do our : part with our hands; in other matters we ! do our part with our hearts. What the I Apostle John said about evil deeds is as | true of good deeds: "He that giveth him j greeting partaketh in his * * * works." By our well wishing we become partakers in what others do. John said the same thing in the next Epistle: "We * * * ought to welcome such, that we may be fellowworkers." What we speed on its way, and what we welcome in our hearts when we hear of it?m all this we have a share. How wide reaching, then, are the opportunities of even the most secluded! How great is the work in" which even the least can be engaged! As we hail any good incoming, or speed any good outgoing, we enter into the prophet's work, and shall receive a prophet's reward. Let us take heart and do our share. Ever Onward and Upward. We are commanded to be perfect, to love God continually, to rejoice evermore, and in everything to give thanks. And reason is in accord with revelation in enjoining this duty. Man's pathway is ever onward and upward.

Navajo blanket weaving was ;tudied at close range by P. D. Tull on bis recent six months' tour to ATizona for 'bis heaf.ih, says the Spokane Spokesman-Review. Mr. Tn 11 u-lir> ls much improved in health, is hack to Spokane with some fine specimens of blankets which he personally picked up while in the south. He said: "These Navajca are one of the largest tribes in the country, numbering over 25,000 Indians. Their reservation is equally large, and is situated in northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona. Outside of the reservation proper the government has granted them an additional strip of forty miles wide, known as 'grazing strip.' The tribe is self-supporting, and while they know little of agriculture, they own immense herds of cattle, horses and sheep. It is from the latter that the women spin the wool and weave the blankets and rug3. "The Navajos are a roving tribe? when they settle for any time at one place they live in a dome-shaped building called a 'hogan.' This is a foTm of adobe construction, made with poles and sticks and covered with mud. When on the more they live in the regulation tepees. Their j nearest neighbors are the Apaches, j with whom, in the old days, they j were often engaged in war. The \ Navajos are polygamists, sometimes j having four or five wives. These they buy, or trade, as they would any other piece of property. The squaws do most of the work. They wash, spin and dye the wool, and weave it on primitive looms into quaint and artistic designs. They never use figures of people, animals, or birds, as do the basket weavers, but their designs are largely geometrical. Red, black, orange, white and gray are the predominating colors. "While some squaws may use and j repeat some characteristic design, it | is a noteworthy fact that no two rugs are ever alike. This :is almost in- j credible, when we consider the hun- ] dreds of rugs that have been made by them. "To say nothing of the time it takes to wash, dye ar.d spin their wool, it requires about a month of steady work to weave a rug four by six feet. These ar eeasily recognized by the smaller patterns and smooth, j close weave. While the Navajos have never been Christianized, it is a fact of Interest that the design of the cross is seen in much of their work. As types they are flne looking Indians?strong, ts.ll and well featured, largely due to their life in i the saddle." * MUTUAL SACRIFICE.
