| 7 A SERMON FOR SUNDAY A STRONG DISCOURSE ENTITLED, ** "THE KNOWLEDGE OF COD." The Kev. Lirinc^ton L,. Taylor Tells Why Keligion is an Affair of the Sonl and Goi? Sectarian, Dogmatic Insistence ~ is Perilous. Brooklyn, X. Y.?Sunday evening, in the Puritan Congregational Church, the pastor, the Rev. Livingston L. Taylor, had ^ lor the subject of his sermon. The Knowledge of God." The text was from .?' Psalm lxxxiv:2: "My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God." Mr. Taylor said: I come back to this pulpit in no uncer mfk tainty of mind with reference to what my message should be. I know, at any rate, 'a where it must begin. Unless I mistake the terms of my commission, uniess I mistake the nature of the means placed at my disposal, which are the Bible and the church, unless I mistake the example of my Master, it is my business to help me*:, so far as in me lies, to find God. ^ . There is no mistaking my own mind, nor what the summer has done to confirm it in this conviction. To me, as to many of you, the glory of the Lord has been ref vealed anew in earth and sky and sea. To me, as to many of you, has come the opportunity to read and to think and to enter into the thoughts of other persons. We have gone out of doors with our religion. We have taken oxtr ideas of God and life away from home with us. We have traveled far afield with them in the books whichv we have read. How have they fared? ^ For myself I did not by any means get rid of Jeremiah's words by preaching on them last Sunday morning. They stay by .me, as they began to stay by me in the early summer. "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens." Heaven and earth bear g testimony against every inadequate idea of r God. We must have a God whom nothing in heaven or on earth can dethrone. We must have a God our-faith in whom need not be shaken by anything we may learn about nature, or about the Bible, or about the life of men and nations. We must / have a God who will not Break down and perish out of our souls in the hour of trial. We must have a God who shall be God to ws, our God, even when we can only cry with Job, "Ob, th&t I knew where I ^ might find Him!" We must have a God to whom we may say, "Father, into Thy B hands I commend my spirit" in the very T hour in which we may have cried "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken ir*e?" Such is the God and Father of our Ix>rd and Saviour Jesus Christ. Sufch is the God from whom nothing in the heights or in the depths, nothing in the past, the present or the future could detach the faith of Paul. Such is the God our need of > > whom may he revealed to us at any" mo\f naent by the lightning flash of some great calamity. Such is the God our need of whom will bear down upon o*.r minds more and more heavily as we face more . and more frankly the facts of life. Here is a man who has been summoned by a midnight message to the bedside of his child. As he goes from ferry to ferry to ascertain by what route he can reach her most quickly, every man he addresses reads his secret and shows him kindness. Gbnnections are close. Over every signal that delays him the engineer sees a y mght lamp in a sick room that tells him every second lost must be made up. The conductor nervously hurries passengers off and on the train at every stop. The race is won. The father stands beside his child. There are the doctors. There are the nurses. There are friends. Everything that human love and sympathv and skill can suggest is being done. Where is thy God? 1 say, father, where is thy God? f Naiur? says to him, "I have contrived a i. ?i.:iT ? nviitr sacix iu vuiiu s uuuj* x iia> c filled it with poison. Within twenty-four hours I propose to break it. If I break it your child will die. If you are willing to take other chances, let the surgeons remove it. Then I wili do the best I can ~ for you." Some men tell me that their God is nature. Does your God thus speak His whole Blind? Why, that room where a father is waking up his mind what answer to give ^ v t$> nature's ultimatum is flooded with pure Y l^ve. Everybody cares. Are you ready to say "Everybody cares but God?" There is a sick child there to be accounted for. There is a harsh ultimatum of nature to accounted for. But there are loving toearts in that room 'to be accounted for, W also. And there is a universal capacity for r sympathy and helpful action to be accounted for. It is a scene which fairly represents the tragedy of the world process. In which aspects of it do you discern the working of the higher law?in the Merciless progress of the disease or in w^hat is being done to save, to heal, to ? comfort? If there is any purpose, or even any tendency, to be discovered in such a scene, is it the triumph of pain and the perfecting of cruelty that is being prok aaoted? or is it the perfecting of faith and love? Christians should know where to look ^ for God in such scenes. They will And ' Him in precisely the place in which they would look for Jesus Christ. Sometimes we wonder why so many miracles of healing are recorded in the gospels. May it not be because God wants us to know where to place Hin^i when we are confronted by the elemental questions which sickness and pain and death are certain to raise in our minds? It is the higher law which should ever sneak to us of God. It is with life and healing, with love and oare, that we nre taught to associate the ^ thought of God. In the midst oHife's confusions we know in part. When that which is perfect is come it will prove to be?love. We can even think of ourselves, when it is all over, looking back and saying: II HU \,y UilVi. M UU JUU^lU^iib My web of time He wove, r And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustered with His love; I'll bless the hand that guided. I'll bless the heart that planned. When throned where glory dwelleth, In Emmanuel's land." I lite to think of the positive aspects of the First Commandment: "Thou shall have p iro other God before Me." That means, stated positively: Thou shalt have a God, and thou shalt have Me for thy God. Thou shalt have a God. It is the first law of the soul's own life. Thou shalt have a (Sod whom nothing can ever make it unreasonable for you to trust. It is the soul's law of self preservation. How do we know when we are going to be in critical need of faith like Paul's?of faith like that of our dying Lord? Every man who suffers needs it. Every man who thinks needs it. I say that every man who thinks needs Sod. We are thinking here to-night. We have been thinking some of the verv thoughts which have stolen away the faith of many a man and many a woman. We have been facing facts Avhioh throw the urind into an agony. We have been dealing with conditions which faith has to reckon ? with. I have talked with men, the tumult ?f whose minds made me think of the north coast waves, as Robert Louis Ste wenson describes fnem. m all the terror ot them, in all the power of them. to wreck the frail barks in which men voyage. There may be minds incapable of tumult. There ma/ be people wuo eannot understand how any question rating to religion can so stir the mind. A young maa who thinks and who kno wj krr to think said to me not long ago: T am swimming for ay life/' And he Bepaoeabed Christian ministers fior their agarent iatiqta to seals&e that there are mtfltrtsdes Use tSteseJt who are wrestling with the great underlying questions of God or no God, soul or no soul, immortality or annihilation, liberty or necessity. Such a man wrote a little while ago to j the editor of a well-known periodical. Prayer, the Bible, Christ, miracles, these were the subjects in thinking about which he had become bewildered. He calls loud- 1 ly for help. It would be easy to say that he had simply got himself into "a state of j mind" and that it would do no good to } reason with him. But what would be easy I is not always sure to be what would be 1 fair and right. Faith has sometimes had j too great a fondness for "Easy Method With Doubters." This nian says: "Most^ of the religious discussions that I hear or read seem to me to deal with mere side issues?why young men don't attend church ?how to reach tiie masses?while I want to hear (and never do hear)?about the fundamental, elementary principles of re- j ligion. Is man immortal? Is there a God. and if so, why does He leave us in doubt? What is the Christian religion reduced to its simplest expression? I am sick of platitudes, evasions and glittering generalities. I want to be treated with sincerity. J want to hear the simple truth, not "as to a little child," but as to a grown man, who must reason as well as feel, a man who has sinned and suffered and now fain would find a safe anchorage for his soul in this sea of doubt and trouble." The editorial article written in answer | to this communication breathes the spirit i of Him who went to His disciples in the storm with which they were battling on Galilee. It says very little about the troublesome questions the man has raised. It takes God and the soul for granted. It reduces religion to its simplest terms and lets it go at that for the present. Whether it has accomplished anything for the storm-tossed correspondent I do not know. But I do know some whom it has helped and others whom it is likely to help. Men of whose spiritual vicissitudes I have some knowledge have spoken of it with grati tude. The narrower method of sectarian, dogmatic insistence is perilous. The existence of a denomination may depend upon the observance of the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath. But it is a ruinous thing for a young person to get the idea that the existence of God is wrapped up in that dogma and that he might as well abandon the religious life altogether as to let that dogma go. It has been an element of denominational strength to have certain fixed ideas with reference to the proper mode and subjects of baptism. But it is a spiritual misfortune if a young Baptist has not a pastor wise enough to tell him*, if he lets go this doctrine, that religious life is quite possible without it. It is possible to cherish and to insist on views of the Bible, the modification of which seems to some, when they find it necessary, to threateu the very foundations of their faith in God. Religion is an affair of the soul and God. The Bible, the church, the creeds, the sacraments are designed to serve the soul and God in this high and holy relationship. God has a life in the souls of men which these means are meant to promote and never to hinder. They do not come between the soul and God. Some sweet old | mystic lias said: "The eye by which I see ! God is the same eye by whichi He sees me." And we may say, also: "The longing with which we long for God is the longing with which He lqngs for us. The love with which we love Him is from the fountain of His love for us." In a relationship which is he sharing, the identity of life, what room is there for intermediary means and ministeiyes? We have precious documents, precious doctrines, precious sacraments and ordinances. But it*is not they that give lif? to the soul. They do minister richly to' that life, but it is, as it were, from without that they minister. If the soul ever really knows God at all, i'; knows Him as it knows itself. The soul is sure of itself. By the same sort of certitude it is sure of God. Don't get the idea that you can prove the existence of God. Some day you may fall in with a man who is a better reasoner v.-V*r\ will nflipy* ci An T!ipt> if vnu really think you believe in God because you can prove that He exists, you may find your faith badly shaken. "Every one that loveth is begotten of God f.nd knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love." We know God with that immediate kind of knowledge with j which we know the feelings of our own ! hearts. If it is possible for us to love, it is i possible for us to Rno^y God and to know ! that we know Him. And John tells us | that the proof there is a God and to be | known and that we know Him, is the same ! kind of proof, the very same proof, that I we must give, if we say that we love. Luke tells us how Jesus sent out seventy of His disciples to do in all the towns of Galilee as they had seen Him do. They healed the sicR. They preached the gospel { of the kingdom. Hen and devils gave heed to them. They returned to Him with great joy to tell Him all. As He listened to them, as He looked into their faces, He rejoiced. They had understood Him. It was then that He said: "I thank Thee. 0 Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, that Thou didst hide these things from the wise and prudent and didst reveal them unto babes." He has succeeded. Plain men, seventy of them, had come to know God through Him. To every minister of His, to every follower, Jesus is saving: "Enter into this supreme joy of thy Lord. This is the joy for you to seek; this is the success for which you should work and pray; that through you men may come to know God." It was for this very thing that He gave thanks the night before He died.^ To some He knew He had given eternal life. And what could He say in His thanksgiving that would be more pleasing to His Father than what He did say? "And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God. and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." As we begin our work, the words of the beautiful old prayer ring in my ears: "0 God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels and all just works do proceed?." We want our fellowship in service to be prompted and accompanied by holy desire^ guided by good counsels and abounding in inst works. The desire to know God is the holiest of all desires, the deepest fountain of good counsel, the most effective inspiration of just works. May it be the honest and the constant desire of our hearts! Knew How. AH was Quiet in the invalid's room, until a step was heard coming up the stairs. Then a faint voice called: "Alfred, is it you?" "No," answered another member of the family, looking in and then approaching the bed. "But what is it you are wanting? Cannot I do it?" "I only wanted to be lifted and turned a little," was the reply. "I think I'll wait a few minutes for Alfred to come. He knows just how." Alfred was only a boy, a merry, healthy young fellow of eighteen or twenty, full of his studies and out-door pursuits, wanted on the ericket field and in all parties of young friends, but he was no stranger in that sick room. He had thought it worth while to learn "just bow" to minister to the sufferer, and his strong, young arms were the chosen ones to lift the grandmother's wasted, pain-racked form many times daily. Was not that tender little service the very erown of manliness ? It was Bayard Taylor who wrote: "The bravest are the tenderest."?Young People's Paper. i Oxrr Weakness.

When Old Mother Nature gives tou a "whack" remember "there's a reason" so try and say "thank you" then set about finding what you have done to demand the rebuke, and try and got back into line, for that's the happy place after all. Curious how many highly organized people fail to appreciate and heed the first little, gentle "whacks" of the good old Dame, but go right along wUh the habit whatever it may be, that causes her disapproval. Whiskey. Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other unnatural treatment of the body, until serious illness sets in or some chronic disease. Some people seeiu to get on very well with those things for awhile, and Mother Nature apparently cares but little what they do. Perhaps she lias no particular plans for them and thinks it little use to waste time in their training. There are people, however, who seem to be selected by Nature to "do things." The Old. Mother expects them to carry out some department of her great work. A portion of these selected ones oft and a sain seek to stimulate and then deaden tlio tool (the body) by some one or more of the drags?Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea, Morphine, etc. You know all of these throw down the same class of alkaloids In Chemical analysis. They stimulate and then depress. They take from man or woman the power td do his or her best.work. After these people hare drugged for a time, they get a hint, or mild "whack*' to remind them that they hare work to do. a mission to perform, and should be about the business, but are loafing along the wayside and become unfitted for the fame and fortune that waits for them if they but stick to the course and keep the body clear of obstructions so it can carry out the behests of the mind. Sickness is a call to "come up higher." These hints come iu various forms. It may be stomach trouble or bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys or general nervous prostration. You may depend upon it when a "whack" comes it's a warniug to quit some abuse and do the right and fair thing with the body. Perhaps it is Coffee drinking that offends. That is one of the greatest causes of human disorder among Americans. Now then if Mother Nature is gentle with you and only gives light, little "whacks" at first to attract attention. don't abuse lier consideration, or sne will soon hit you harder, sure. And you may also be sure she will hit you very, very hard if you insist on following the way you have been going. It seems hard work to give up a habit, ard we try all sorts of plans to charge our ill feelings to some other cause than the real ope. Coffee drinkers when ill will attribute the trouble to bad food, malaria, overwork and what not, but they keep on being sick and gradually getting worse until they are finally forced to quit entirely, even the "only one cup a day." Then they begin to get better, and unless tbey have gone long enough to set up some fixod organic disease, they generally get entirely well. It is easy to quit coffee, at once and for all, by having well made Postuni. with its rich. deep, seal brown color which comes to the beautiful golden brown when good cream is added, and the crisp snap of good, mild Java is there if tlie Postuni has been boiled long enough to bring it out.

IIE lea von of road improve- j | *{ J? ment seems to be -working j j O | O in all parts of the United : J *| $ States. An Eastern man ' i who has recently taken a | j trip through Texas says the enthnsi- | I asm with which the people have taken j I up the "good roads idea" is wonderful, j I In some counties they are in danger I of "going wild" on the subject. Funds ! are being raised mainly by issue of i county bonds. : In Pennsylvania, the State aid idea lias taken firm hold. The plan jnst i J adopted is for the State, the county, | and the township to co-operate in the j work of building and improving the \ roads The State is to pay two-thirds ! i of the expense, and the county and j | township in which the work is done j each one-sixth of the expense. The i j State has made available for this pur- j pose $6,500.000 to be expended during j the next few years. ; The principle involved in the State j aid plan is exactly the same as that J involved in the scheme for national j aid which has developed such popu- i Iarity recently. The fundamental ; idea of both is that road improvement j is not merely a matter of local interest ! and responsibility, but a matter of ! interest and concern to the whole peo- j pie: or, to put it another way. road I building is coming to be viewed as a j species of "internal improvement"' be- [ longing in the sam? class as river and | harbor improvements. Another reason why National and | .State aid are becoming so popular is the realization that, unless something j of the kind is adopted, the burden of | bad roads, like the poor, will be always ! with us. The bottomless roads of the f country constitute a sort of "Slough of j Despond"' in which the people are destined to Counder until some one comes along to help them out. In fact the expense for improving the roads in j many localities is a burden which the j local population is wholly unable to i bear. It is believed that whenever i the State or the nation reaches out a i helping hand to such communities, j they will grasp it and bend all their j energies to the great work of improv- j ing their highways, but they will never i uudertake the job without help from the outside. The frequent rains have made the' roads almost impassable in a majority of the local communities throughout the Eastern half of the United States. 1 Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the good roads idea is uppermost in so many minds. Ideal Earth Roadbed. How may we, in a cheap and efficient manner, construct and maintain an ! earth roadbed? The plan is simple; too simple for ready acceptance, yet as efficient as it is simple. A simple drag is drawn along one side of the roadbed at the proper time to smootn on tue suriace, nuiug uit? ruts and pushing the earth slightly toward the centre of the road .and pressing it into all crevices. This is done after each wet spell, just as the surface is beginning to dry. This produces a smooth surface, the ruts and tracks are obliterated. The vehicles that enter upon the road go promiscu' ously over it, and compact the surface as completely as if it were rolled by a heavy roller. In fact, a wagon with li^-inch tires, giving six inches of impact upon the surface, and with a total j weight of only 1230 pounds produces : as great pressure upon the surface touched as a ten-ton roller. An ordinary two-horse wagon load would produce a pressure equivalent to a twentyton roller. The only question is. therefore, how much of the surface will be thus reached and rolled. Experience shows that in a roadbed kept smooth for a consideiable period, say six months, every part of it gets its quota j of rolling. Then, again, the smooth roadbed thus compacted sheds the water that falls upon it almost as easily as a shingle roof. Hence t?e chanee for saturation is reduced to a minimum. It is stated thta this compacted condition is destroyed by frost, i But it should be remembered that the expansive force of frost is in direct ratio to the water content. A saturation of less than 15 per cent, wpuld not when frozen exert expansive force enough to lessen materially the cohesive force or widen the interstices. Roadways cared for in the manner suggested have remained solid enough for the past five years to bear up heavy traffic during every day of every year, the only mud being one or two j I in^Vna nn +V| eupf?/>o ?n/1 that- woe ' JHV.UC9 V11 liiC CUlx?kVVt uuu. %uuw ?? *<? quickly hardened after the rains and promptly smoothed, thus restoring it* former fine eondition.

Every household, should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The ex-Governor of Oregon is an ardent admfper of Peruna. He keeps it continually in the house.
