| 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 ?

bravest are the tenderest."?Young People's

'WHACKS1
4nd "What They Mean.
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.

Pro?rrcRS of the Idea.
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
