Dr. Cleland Boyd McAfee Tells WJbat is the Best Armament For Jesus .His Own Character With Its Striking: Symmetry is Completely Convincing:. v?' Brooklyn.?Dr. Cleland Boyd McAfee, pastor-elect of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church; preached there Sunday. His subject was "The World's Interest in fcJi the Success of Christ." The text was from " John xii:9:. "Much people of the Jews, therefore, knew that He was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only,: but ib that they might see Lazarus also,"whom He had raised from the dead." Dr. McAfee This is at least -candid. There was no magic magnetism about Jesus. He drew Hr men to Him in no subtle, indefinable way. He drew them by what they saw Him do, by what they saw Him to be. Here was a crowd drawn to Jesus by the effect He had W ' had on a man. That is" the sermon of the Vmorning in a sentence. The best argument for . Jesus is the effect. He has on men. I call it best, not as most philosophical or profound, and not as bearing ^ logical tests better than others. It is best because we can all see it and feel the force of it. >M. i asked a wise man once what he cotmt? ed the best argument in behalf of Christ. He replied, "Christian." And what is the ; - best argument against Christ?_ Instantly he replied again, "Christian/' Jtsroaaen it. What is the best argument for Christ and His gospel? The Christendom of to-day. Set Christendom over against heathenism and see what Christ can do with men. Set it over against the Christendom that V should be and see what Christ has still to ! V <v 1 isow all that is very simple, and it is at; such simple points in our Eves that Christ comes into closest contact with us. The ; only claim He maj^es to Kkigship is based' ^ on the fact that He is one who can. He can bring things to pass. He can accompHsh. He can achieve. You remember how oonstant His fame ran ahead of Him in His journeying. He healed some $r: and they told it. He taught others and they announced it. He fed a multitude i and they clung to Him. I am not supposing that the crowd really believed in Jesus for what He claimed to be, but the crowd was drawn to Him by the effect He had ^ had on men, and thus was brought under ! vT His spell. And no man will ever believe ! in Jesus on the mere evidence of lives j about Him. He must accept Him for Himself. But the effect He has on lives will ? have 'its part to-day as then in turning ' . men to Him. The unchanged life does not draw. The thoroughly changed life is His best argument. You remember I have already said that there are better arguments for Christ than the lives of His followers?better philosophically and logically. He is Himself His best argument. Just a careful, candid c+??r?iT rtf PRfc mm character with itB T>e culiar balance -of traits, with its striking i ^ symmetry?that would be very convince - if ing. For my part I enjoy the so-called 1 metaphysical arguments, even some which are not popular in the philosophical faculties nowadays. There are very profound books written which men might read with profit. ' But we are just common men, and we do very little profound thinking, almost no i n abstract thinking, and we are reached sooner and most effectively by the argument of results. There are men, of course, not so bright as ourselves, who would be j I hard pressed just to read the books which present these obstruse arguments. In my . reading, the other day, I ran across a sen-tence from one of these profound writers which will interest you, just by way of illustration. It is a definition of religion and runs this way: "Religion is the ultimate and vital apprehension by the individual of what is conceived to ve reality in its fullest sense, the inner truth of things; : . whether, such reality be regarded as coextensive with, as included in, or as distinct from the world of natural phenomena, it always, however, being regarded as 1 in some way related to the individual himself; any such apprehension embracing belief, emotional response and the determination of conduct, in so far as conduct is supposed to have a bearing on the con> v nection of the individual with such reality." Now that is not a very bad way of stating certain facts about religion, and yet I doubt if some of us would care to go far in books worded that way. Some of you have been under the influence of religion a good many years, but have never worded it just that wav. ? - < j-? i.i.? There are easier ways 01 woruiut; mc profound truth of Christianity. I wish it seemed possible, for example, to get a i wide reading for the two-year-old book by j Principal Fairbairn of Oxford, Mansfield College. He has called it ''The Philosophy of the Christian Religion." The book grew out of Principal Fairbairn's appoint- j ment as Haskell lecturer in India*- He had the sacred books of Hinduism and felt that J he knew how to meet its positions with syinDatnetie understanding. When he j a reached Ind;a, however, lie found Hinduism a very different thing in practice. That turned him back upon a candid study of his own faith, to see whether and wherein it might differ in present practice from its original form. Such a study was certain to. result profoundly, and it is a profound book. I wish all of us Christians might follow an argument which results in such sentences as these: "The Son of God holds in His pierced hands the keys of all religions, explains all the factors of their being and all the persons through whom they have been realized." ''The Incarnation is the very truth which turns nature - and man, history and religion into the luminous dwelling olace of God." I thinl-: I shall not forget that phrase that the In'-' - carnation turned the world into the luminous dwelling place^ of God, that Jesus, once born into manhood, has never died cut of manhood, and shall instead draw manhood into Ilis own fellowship and likeness. We shall be able to feel the personal meaning of all this when we stop to name over some of the traits w._ieh mark the changed life. It is & life of faith?of ouiet - ^ ' mi _ confidence in i.toci. mere is no idleness nor lazy trusting that things will come out right by some mysterious method. It is the life of belief that we are in a Father's world, making our way to a Father's house. That faith stands over against the doubt and fear and anxiety of tne unchanged life. And because it is faith in God it accomplishes faithfulness " to men and our duties. And this is what the world sees. It cannot see faith in Go<r. It can see only the faithfulness in the life we live. From gross dishonesty cn up to unreliability, at whatever stage it appears, unfaithfulness prevents an argument for Christ. This is the argument of the changed life. And I cannot mistake that it is such argument which Christ Himself most prizes and which the world most needs? needs not in these larger ways and places alone, there so much as in the men with whom it must deal most closely. My brothern, it is the argument of ur own changed, Christianized lives that is most needed. The books are strong?and unread. The uncommon, marked cases are many?and unobserved. Our lives are daily before our fellows, closely read, constantly observed. These are the world's arguments. And what is sought is not some impossible perfection. Many of our fellows are not unreasonable. No, but there is wanted aa alignment between our professions and our actions that shall indicate that something higher and better has actually taken hold of us. We <?aim to be servants of the best Master; we are not ..." . - r ' . , * 1*, W "V r. - ' -' " faultless servants: *vre. do not- daira-io V-H we do not'claim to be better than other people. *We claim only* this, as Christians, that we are seeking to do as Christ approves. that we -re seeking to live the kind of iife He lays out for us. The practical James in his New Testament epistle puts it in a succinct way: You say you are honest: very well; show me your honesty without paying your debts and I will pay my debts to .show my honesty. It is the practical outworking which convinces other men. Men are saved by their faith in Christ. But other men know that they are saved by the way they act. Argument resulting so is worthy of study. But it would be so wild as to.be silly to expect men who look on the religion of Christ for the outside to labor over 600 pages of profound work. We are turned back again to the easier argument in Christ's behalf?the visible effect He has on life around. It was possible to studv Jesus in His own character. The crowd came that day to see Him and to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. Indeed, Lazarus, changed .into new life, was so strong an argument that his enemies would have killed him to silence him. And it is still the commonest method to explain away or to deny the effects of Jesus in the world. If He has laid hold on a people, we must find out-how climate and ancestry and customs have been the real uplifting agencies. If He makes a character attractive and winsome, we tain about' disposition and training. That is, we: want Lazarus explained away unless ? * mean to acknowledge the power of Christ. The changed life is the argument which the world finds most forceful. The World is interested, not in Christ's theory, but in His success. That argument can be made in a large way. His influence can be traced through the long stretch of years. Our own race and nation could be made an illustration. Or the minds of men could be pointed to peoples only yesterday in savagery and now lifted into a well begun civilization. I read recently the life of James Chalmers, the missionary in the South Seas. Just after he became acquainted with the people one of his wife's friends, as a mark of respect and affection, brought her a piece of human fleshy nicely cooked, as a dainty for her own table. They were often invited to cannibal feasts. On a new island, only four years ago, Chalmers was killed and his body eaten. And the gospei of Christ, with the arts of civilization, has taken hold upon such peoSle and mate them fraternal and safe and elpful. -There is no Christian island in the South Seas wnere a voyager uw safe; there is no non-Christian island where he is safe. It is a life of hope. It has not yet received its best things. The best times are not past nor present, however glad they may be. There are better things to co ne out of the Father's love as we go on in the Father's world. And this hope works into the sight of men in the form of cheer, of brightness, of encouragement. Some one asked the other day what I thought of laughing Christians. It was a new phrase to me. We do not think much of silly Christians, I suppose, of shallow Christians, whose joy compares with real joy as a giggle compares with a laugh. But what can one think of a Christian life whose hope never comes out into the cheer and brightness of a joyous life? I heard a child say a. little piece once, in which was explained that one day in heaven God became weary of the dinging of the harps and the singing of the angels, so He silenced them all and sang a strain of music Himself. aDd ere it had died away He caught-it, threw about it a beautiful plumage and cast it into the air, and so the songbirds came to earth. They are God's music sent into life. And are we other? Who so well as we may catch the glad strain of joy and make our lives a gladdening influence in the world ? And if instead we droop and pine, and will not bear the sorrows as though they were charged with gkd meaning from our Father, and will not cast a radiance of joy into other lives, where is the changed life? The Kings of the Holy Roman Empire were crowned ?with a triple crown, in one of which was a nail of the true cross. And in the triple crowning which marks the changed life, one bears the nail 01 the cross. For supremely the changed life is the life of love, and love means sacrifice, love means service, love means helpfulness. No man can see another's love 6ave as it shows itself in the service of helpfulness it renders. When men seek the supreme example of love they,look unon a figure which glorified the cross, which had the pierced hands and feet and side?a figure of One who came as a i. ersenger of glad tiding- of peace?His feet beautiful upon the mountains, but bloodstained. Amd love is the hid fact of that best life, coming into sisbt of others as helpfulness and service. This is the supreme mark of the Christian life?such a love as makes us helpful among men for Christ's sake. It is no mere pity of other men's needs; it is no shallow sentiment which cannot bear to' see suffering. It is a far deeper thing than that. It is the commanding motive in all life?to serve. It means laying out our lives for that wherever they are lived. Sometimes it demands large things. Sometimes it comes out in the daily, common life. We may not do for men what they want, but we learn to do for them in one measure what they need. And so life be~ ? 4- AfKnrc comes a cuubtcuit. wuv..-. These are the plain marks of the chanced life, which stands as argument for Christ, irnith. within which comes out in view as faithfulness everywhere. Hope, coming out into view as cheerfulness. encouragement, brightness. Love, breaking out into service. Is your life so triply marked, not by fortunate birth, not in shallow ways*, but deeply and because you have known Him? If it is, then you in your commonplace life arc His dailyargument, the Lazarus of the present day, drawing men to Him. . i The Highest Heroism. There is yet a harder and higher heroism?to live well in the cuict routine of i life; to fill a little space because Gcd wil s it; to go on cheerfully with a petty round of little duties, little occasions; to acce">t unmurmuring!v a low position; to cmile for the joys of others when the heart is aching; to banish a'l ambition, all pride and all restlessness i.i a single regard' to our Saviour's work. Moreover, to do this for a lifetime is a ftill greater effort, and he who does this is a greater hero than lie who for one hour stoma a breach, or for one day rushes onward undaunted in the flaming front of shot and shell. His works will follow him. He may not be a hero to the world, but he is one of God's heroes: and though the builders of Nir.evah and Babylon be forgotten and unknown, his memory shall live and be blessed?Dean Farrar.

' * THE ACE OF STARS. | How the Color of the Planets Tells Us Their Years. j I : As a star contracts from the sur- t rounding nebulous matter from which iit was thrown off, its temperature 1 rises, and with this augmented heat occurs a change both in the star's spectrum aud color. Red hot iron is not nearly so hot as 1 ; white hot iron. By observing the ! various changes in tint which the | metal undergoes the foundryman is able to tell with considerable accuracy j its degree of heat. A somewhat siniI liar method of guaging a star's texn: peraaure, and therefore its age, is relied upon by the astronomer. Color, j then, and spectroscopic analysis enable the astronomer to estimate the , i age of orbs that are only beginning to ' esist as stars, and others whose light | is fast fading. j After having coagulated, as it were, ' j from a nebulous mass," a star assumes j a color that may be best described as i an intense bluish-white, much like that I of the electric arc. Stars of that hue are therefore in their infancy. Then f i comes the white stage, followed by the yellow, orange, and red?each succeed ! ing hue iiidicatins* greater autlquity' . than the last. j Up to the yellow period the star as it. ! contracts grows hotter and hoi.er. Then a gradual cooling takes place. Accompanying the changes in color i are changes in the spectrum of the t ' star?changes that indicate a mcdifij cation in physical structure. In the ' bluish-white period of a star's infancy j the characteristic wide lines of hydro- . ! gen gas predominate in the spectrum. | As the color charges, the lines of cali cium. magnesium and iron appear, the hydrogen lines gradually becoming ; thinner and those of calcium broader. : ?

No Lawyers in China. To prove the laws of China In regard to marriage was found by Mrs. Low Shee's attorneys to be a more difficult task than they at first supposed, but they finally succeeded yesterday, when they put Chung Pao Shi, the acting consul-general, on the witness stand in Judge Coffey's court. Low Shee, who resides in China, is claiming the estate left by Chew Bing Quoia, a merchant of Chinatown, and + Via nnnncin?' rlnimant is Lum Ouoia. a woman who lived with Chew Bing Quoia for yearshere. It is alleged that Low Shee was legally married to Chew Bing Quoia in China and that Lum Quoia for years here. It is alleged that bine. Vice-Consul Ouyan King interpreted the Consul's testimony. No regular Chinese interpreter in the city spoke the Consul's dialect, it was stated, and so the vice-consul was called. Judge Coffey smiled when informed by the consul that there were no attorneys at law practisng in China, and that lawyers were not wanted in the courts there, the judges doing all the questioning to ascertain the facts. The consul stated that he was acquainted with the laws of the Chinese empire and had read the Chinese law relative to marriage. He identified Chinese books which were produced in court as copies of the laws of the en%pire. . He said that an essential fea ture of every marriage in China was the sending of a card giving the bride's aneestry for at least three generations.-r-San Francisco Chronicle. The Early Dog Gets the Drink. "The little copper drinking fountains for dogs, put on the street corners at the bottom of lampposts," said the man who stands all day at Fiftyninth street and Lexington avenue handing out transfer tickets, "would be a fine thing if the dogs got a chance at them. They are attractive in appearacne, and are all right until freezing time. They are too shallow for winter weather. The dog fountains are filled every morning by men from the Humane Society, and it is the early dog that gets the drink. As soon as the car rush begins, goodby doggie. "This fountain has been here just waoV Tn that time I have seen a VUV T? vv?k. ? ~ man waiting for a crosstown car spoil the dog's chance with a mouthful of tobacco juice; then kids and young men fill 'em up with cigarettes; seen women and girls throw orange peel and apple cores into them; matches are thrown into them by the dozen. Before noon that dog fountain looks like a small swill-pail. Dogs prefer the lfeakings of a fire hydrant on the opposite corner.
