' THE PULPIT, j
A BRILLIANT SUNOAY SERMON BY
THE REV. W. S, BAER.
Subject: " Christian Lile.,r
<
Brooklyn. X. Y.?The lie v. Winfield
Scott Baer. who came from Grace
Church. Saudusky. O.. to assume the
rectorship of St. George's Church, si
a man of attractive personality and an
excellent speaker. His subject Sunday
morning was "Christian Life." His
text was from Psalms cxxii:l-2: "i
t will lift up mine eyes unto the hills
frnni -whence cometli mv help. My
help coweth from the Lord, who made
heaven and earth." Mr. Baer said:
It is from the heights that we gain
our widest vision. It is from the
heights of human attainment that we
see life most truly. To gain these
heights we need to go where Christ
has climbed. There are certain iuci.
dents in His life which preserve to
us the intimate connection between the
truth of His life and the place where
it was revealed in its fullness. Let
us lift up our eyes unto the hills, from
whence cometh our help.
" Up into .a mount, with a few chosen
" disciples. He went by night to pray.
In the darkness of the night those
who accompauied Him beheld a vision.
Before them was the Sou of Man.
transfigured, with shining face and
garments all aglow. Then there came
a voice from Cod, "This is my beloved
Son. hear Him."
How often in the days to come must
they have recalled that vision with
joy. How often in the uight of their
perplexity, when they questioned what
to do, must they have heard the voice,
"This is my Son. hear Him." Their
brethren saw not the vision, heard not
the voice. In the valley below tbey
sleot. Thev had not been asked to go
with their Master, and they did right
to rest their wearied frames for the
work of the morrow. But those who
went with Him saw the vision and
heard the voice which declared to
them that whatever other teachers
were, or had taught, the perfect now
y was come, and the imperfect was done
away. The glory of the morning star
is swallowed up in the light of the
sun, which it foretells. So. flay by
day, these men saw in Him the transfiguration
of humanity, the glory of a
life lived with the Father; they heard
the voice of that Father saying, "This
is my Son, hear Him," and knew in
Christ the perfection of sonship as
> > Cod intended it to be.
Is this a vision of past history? A
* page torn from the biography of
Jesus of Nazareth? Is this a day when
there is no vision, and no prophet; is
this the mount of God far away, and
must one journey to the Holy Laud
to see it? Nay; since He trod the
earth, all lands are holy, and we may
go into the mount, may gain a vision
and hear a voice. For the glory of
Christ is not dimmed, nor the voice
? of God stilled. As one looks back
through the vista of centuries and
asks for the force which has uplifted
man, there dawns upon him for answer
the vision of the transfigured
Christ. As one seeks for the highest
inspiration of brush and chisel, again,
clearer or dimmer, as he may see, there
> stands before liim the vision of the
transfigured man. As he gazes at
glorious cathedrals, wondering at the
greatness of the work and the beauty
of the art, again the Son of Man appears
as the Alpha and Omega, the
beginning of the inspiration, the end
, of all the faith.
Ah, yes, and one need not go to
masterpieces of art to discern the
' * transfigured man. Closer and nearer
is He to us in lire than in canvas or in
stone. Wherever man kneels down in
prayer, wherever in thought he lifts
up his heart to God. wherever in time
of meditation he goes apart to be with
the Father, there comes' a vision of
.. transfigured man. glowing with the
glory of God. The young man looking
out into .ne world, the old man wait
Jog his summons home, each may have
his! vision and must have it, if he
j, would do his work aright. How sad
our life as Christians would be if all
we did was daily round of duty on the
treadmill of existence. How long the
- days *vould be; how joyless the task,
with our song at best a stoic chant.
How glad when weary work was done,
and weary eyes were closed, and weary
hands were folded on the breast. But
that is not the Christian life. It is life
and more abundant, with ts outlook
and its hope. In study of the Scriptures,
In musings when the heart is too
full for speech, in..-hours of worship,
wheu hearts and voices are upraised
to God. there may come to us a vision
of strength, of truth, of the better
man to be, the answer to all our panting
and throbbing desires to come into

^ because our eyes are dull. But as our
eyes grow brighter, the indistinctness
fades away into the glory of the
transfigured mau Christ Jesus. The
vision of man is given to us in Him.
We long, too. for knowledge of God:
, as we creep up "the great altar stairs
(which slope through darkness up to
God." far, far above us we see the
light of the eternal glory. And as we
^ draw nearer, the light resolves itself
Into the face of the transfigured One.
"We have the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of .Tesus Christ," in
whdm God graciously veiled His
brightness that our weak eyes might

Our fullest vision of God and our
. \ clearest vision of man are had in Him.
We may see Him in life of noble mau
and pure woman as we walk through
the streets. We may suddenly be
? brightened in the darkness of a home
of sin by a glimpse of Christ shining
through the life of one who lives with
Kim. Let us ever seek for that vision
of Christ in the life of our fellows, and
If we seek, we shall find. But let us
remember that it is well to take time
with Him in worship, iu family prayer.

and the form of Him in the midst \% as
the form of Him who was transfigured
on the mount. When He came down
from the mount of transfiguration He
met liis disciples at the foot of the hill
surrounded by a curious and disputing
crowd. There was a strife of tongues;
there was need and sorrow of man;
there was weakness of His followers.
The call was made on Him, and the
demon was expelled, sorrow was done
away, the distressed through His
strength was restored to peace. This
was the epitome of His life. Then
He set His face steadfastly to go to
Jerusalem. From vision to service;
from communion with God to service
of man; from transfiguration to crucifixion.
His life was a life of service.
He came not to be ministeied unto,
but to minister; He was a teacher, a
nronr-hpj- n setter forth of God and
man in word and life. He ministered
to men's bodies; He enlightened their
minds; He cleansed their sculs; He
strengthened them to realize the ideal
which His whole life was pouring out
for man in sacrificial love, as He humbled
Himself and became poor that we
might become eternally rich; He gave
Himself up to death for us miserable
sinners that we might have eternal
life. The depth of sin shows the
height of His love. The Cross of Calvary
is the offering up of self for
others.
As we know well there is wondrous
strife of tongues. From every quarter
there are questionings. Old forms of
belief are losing power, but the old belief,
we know, is not. It still inspires
and uplifts, because it is life in God.
Change is on the face of the earth;
new and strange things are taught,
sometimes even as the gospel of Christ;
the seething waters of life rush to and
fro, and at times one is tempted to bem

in spiritual things. We pass from this
church, where we are gathered to worship
God with the voice of thanksgiving
and melody, the sound of prayer
and praise, or we go from the quiet
silence of our meditation, which was
all filled with God's voice, into our life
with other men. They may have no interest
in these things, or best it may
be an intellectual or speculative interest.
They are very critical
In that babel to whom shall we
listen, what voice will still the deep
and make a great calm? What but
the old voice of the Transfiguration:
"This is my Son, hear Him." Stady
His words to ascertain the truth to
meet the inquiries of man's mind. But
with all the study that we can give it
we can never come to the truth of that
which He taught until in our life we
live the l'fe of service, as He; He
served; therefore is He great. It is a
blessed privilege to be on the mount
with God, but the vision must pass
into service, as we go down, and by
words and life declare the vision which
we have had of truth and love. It will
mean cost. If He found that service
of others meant cost, bitter trial and
weariness of body and mind, can we
expect that as His followers we shall
have naught to endure? May there
not be for us misunderstandings,
temptations from fortune and power
and ambition? May there not be hardships
for us, does service cost naught?
It cost Him the cross. And the disciple
is not above his Master. The
nearer we come to realizing the vision
of the perfect man the closer we draw
to Calvary in the offering up of self
for others. This mount of service and
sacrifice is not far away, inaccessible
peak capped with the everlasting snow.
me service is nere, wnere turuugs ul
men pass to and fro; it is a lowly
mount, the mount of service; in the
turmoil and dust of the streets, among
busy men thronging the city of man,
which should be the city of God. It is
lowly, yea, but.hard to climb. Easier
far to go up oil mount of prayer" and
gain the vision of what we ought to
be than in life of service to be what
we ought. But thanks be to* Him
who is with us on Calvary as on Transfiguration.
His spirit strengthens and
helps us and enables us to offer ourselves
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God. "My help cometh from
the Lord."
Is this all?vision, service, death?
Xay. Christianity is not a law of
death, but a law of life. Buddhism
may hope to escape life, but Christ
came that we might have life, and
have it more abundantly. Christianity
is life, not death. A few weeks after
the crucifixion, on another mount, was
a gathering of men with loving eyes
fixed on Him who was the centre of the
group; and His form was as the form

cross, the same, yet changed. Giving
them Kfls command, and His benediction,
He ascended into heaveD. Vision,
service, life?not vision, sacrifice,
death. Through His obedience to
what He knew to t: right, through
His translation into a life of service
of the perfect vision, which He had.
He had come into the higher life, and
is seated on the throne with God. It
was the fitting end and glorious consummation
of such a life, the crowning
with the glory of maphocd, fulfilled
and ennobled to its greatest height.
The law of sacrifice is not the law
of death, but the law of spiritual life.
He that loseth his life for My sake,
findeth it. He that humbleth himself is
exalted. He that bendeth down in
. love, asceadeth up in glory.
For the truth of the Mount of Ascension
is a higher life for man into which
he comes through vision and through
service. Is it wrong to wish to use
aright those powers which we feel
within; is it wrong to long for a fuller
life than that which now we have;
must we be content with what we are
in spiritual attainment, in character?
Nay, if we be Christians, we cannot
be content, as we behold the hills of
Transfiguration and Calvary, of vision
and 'sacrifice, and on the hill of Ascension
behold manhood crowned by God
in a fuller and larger life than that
which earth affords, with clearer range
of vision, with larger realm of service,
with richer glory of the man, as He
comes more and more into the likeness
of His Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Love.
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing
stronger, nothing higher, nothing
broader, nothing better, either in
heaven or earth; because love is born
of God, and. rising above all created
things, can find its rest in Him alone,
?Thomas a Kempis.
Do I really love Jesus? Have I ever
told Him that I love Him? Let me tell
Him now. Do I know Him as my
friend to whom I can always go?
When I am weak, do I think of His
strength? When I am sinful, do I
think of His purity? When I am in
doubt, do I think of His wisdom?
When I am liretl. do I go to Hiin for
rest:?Floyu W. Tomkins.

When you nave cream to whip pout
it into a bowl, take a piece of brown
paper-a little larger than the bowl and
cut a round hole in the centre just
large enough to pass your egg beater
through. The cream - an be whipped
rapidly as you like and will not fly all

' Shanter to the hoop, drawing the
thread tight to keep from shrinking,
Have threads running from Tam o1
Shanter to hoop not more than one
inch apart. Hang hoop in sun to dry.
How to Tell a Good KcET*
Hold an egg between you and the
light; a lamp or candle is better thar
strong sunshiue. The good egg will
have a fresh look all over. When the
egg is old there will be a hollow space
at one end. Look out for a dark spot,
and if you find oue which does not disappear,
the egg has been laid for a
Jong time and the yolk sticks to the
shell. This is a sure and tried test.
For ItenoTatinc Carpet*.
Boil one large or two small bars of
sonp. shaving it finely in a gallon of
boiling water. When all is dissolved
add four ouuces of bovax and eight of
sal soda, stir well till all is dissolved,
adding four gallons of soft water and
a half-pint of alcohol. Let it stand
until thick and use with a stiff brush,
This recipe surpasses anything used
for cleaning of carpets, clothes rind

To Wash Delicate Colors.
Wash them in water with the chill
just taken off (never wash them in hoi
water). Put a good tablespoonful of
turpemine in every pailful of water.
Make a suds first of white castile
or ivory soap, then add turpentine,
I^t them soak for ten minutes, then
rinse in cold water, ;o which a little
turpentine has been added. Dry in the
shade, and iron on wrong side. The
turpemine keeps the colors from fadtag

under which he can make intelligent

Many pure food bills have been introduced
and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress, but all* thus far seem objectionable.
I It has seemed difficult for politicians
' to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
J yet avoid,harm to honest makers and

the right to fix "food standards" to de'
fine what the people shall and shall not
I eat, for what agrees with one may not
agree with another and such act would
deprive the common citizen-of his personal
liberty. The Postum Cereal Co.,
I Ltd., perhaps the largest maker's of
prepared foods in the world, have nat;
urally a close knowledge of the needs
of the people and the details of the
business of the purveyors, (the retail
grocer) and, guided by this experience
have prepared a bill for submission to
, Congress which is intended to accomj
, plish the desired ends, and inasmuch
| as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to
food protection even when, he enters
another State it is deemed proper that
' the gov't take control of this mattei
and provide a national law to govern
all the States. A copy of the bill is
herewith reproduced.
Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed,
or in barrels, boxed or otherwise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer, who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and, inasmuch as the retailer
cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the" statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee of his selling the food as
it is represented to him which relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where it properly be1
longs.
The remaining sections explain themselves.
The Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd., for ex,
ample, have from the beginning of its
existence printed on_the outside of each
and every pkg. or Rostum ana urapeNuts
food a truthful and exact statement
of what the contents were made
of In order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was eating.
A person desiring to buy, for InI
stance, strictly pure fruit Jelly and
willing to pay the price has a right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost but a further right to certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be
willing to buy at less coat a jelly made
part of fruit juices, sugar and a portion
of glucose. But he must be supplied
with truthful information of the Ingredients
and be permitted to use his personal
liberty to select his own food
accurately.
The people have allowed the slow
1 murder of infants and adults, by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in au organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to go personally
to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can, in a most
effective way tell him by letter how
you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and if a goodly number of
citizens express their views to him, he
secures a very sure guide to duty. Remember
also that the safety of the
people is assured by insisting that the
will of the people be carried out, and
not the machinations of the few for
6elfish interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public protection.
It will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de
celving and injuring the people, Therefore,
if your Representative in Congress.evades
his patriotic duty hold him
to strict accountability and if "necessary
| demand equitable and honest service.
This Is a very different condition than
when a faction demands class legislation
of the Congressman. Several
> years ago the butter interests of the
country demanded legislation to kill
t the oleomargarine industry and by
power of organization forced class legislation
really unworthy of a free people.
Work people wanted beef suet
; butter because it was cheap and better
than much unclean milk butter, but the
. dairy interests organized and forced the
I legislation. The law should have prol
