r i THE PULP 11. AN ELOQUENT EUNDAY S'nRMON B'i THE REV. D. H. OVERTON. I Subject : Confessing Christ. I Brooklyn. X. 1.?Sun la. morning; the Iter. Daniel H. Overtoil, iu'.stor ol'j The Gre. iu. Avenue ITesbyteriau Church, preached 011 "Confessing Christ." The text was from John xii. 42-43: "Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on Him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it. lest they should be put out of the , synagogue: for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God." j Mr. Overton said: VTe have mentioned here in the text; two or ine grearesi privileges :um uu- j ties of our lives, namely, that of be lieving it Christ, and that of confess-1 lug Christ. John, in telling the story j of Christ's work, is complaining that | thfcre were so many who though they J saw the wonderful works Christ did ! before them, did not believe on Him. j He explains this by saying that this has ever been the experiences of the: prophets. Isaiah, oiie of the greatest j prophets of the Old Testament, had j this same complaint: "Who hath be- j lieved our report? And to whom hath j the arm of the Lord been revealed?" i Ke complained of blinded eyes, and of hardened hearts and of stubborn wills. If these things were true of the prophets of the past; if this was the experience of them all. then it was not strange that it should be Christ's experience. *sainh saw that this must ever be the experience of any true prophet that would come to this earth, even of vhat greatest prophet whom he expected, the Mes- j fdah, the Christ, and so he predicted this experience for Him. The greater His glory and the more marvelous His< work, the greater would be the opposition .c Him. Such experience would not argue against the Mas.iahship of! the Christ, but in favor of it. That this was the experience of the ; Christ the verses preceding the text, j ar.d many others that we might give.; (ICL'iitlC. VllCll nc v.umjjiuilicu VI uiv i siowness of men's faith and the dull-1 liess of men's minds, and the stubborn-1 ess of men's will. We read that "He J marveled at their unbelief." He had ! many things that He wanted to say to j them, but their minds were so dull that | they could not understand Him. He j wept over the Holy City most cf all. j because of the stubborness of the wills ' of its perishing people. i Yet even though this was Christ's experience, as it has been the experience; of every prophet. His word and His work did not return unto Him empty. Some believed, and followed and confessed. Many others believed, as we read in the text, but did not confess their belief. They were timid, hesitating, half hearred Christians. It Is of such that I would speak this Sunday morning. And leading up to this I would speak first of believing on - Christ. This, of course, is fundamental, and j all-important. "Without faith ir is im- j possible to please Him." Without faith it is impossible for Christ to be auything to us. or to do anything for us. It is faith that links our lives to His? that brings Him near, and makes Him 'real, to us. We must believe in Him cr we cannot reap the benefit of His great and glorious work for us. Everywhere in Christ's message and in all the New Testament faith is made a condition of the blessed life. This is true cf all life's relationships and it is supremely true of our relationship to r God. There is little that fcie can <io for us unless by faith we open our hearts and lives to Him. Faith is the channel that lets the life of God into the soul of man. But this is what I wish to emphasize:; , Our faith must be strong enough to J lead to something. It must lead to confession. to service, to sacrifice. "Faithful work is dead." The faith that sets us to no task, and that leads to no changed and better life is a false and useless faith. I say that because I believe that so much of the faith in Christ is of this kind. It is a vague, 9 visionary, general, half hearted, spasmodic faith that leads to nothing permanent, and takes us nowhere worth while. It is a faith that was well represented in that crowd that followed Christ', or that threw garments, or palms in His way on that first Palm Sunday long ago. It is believed by many that there wfere many in the multitude who n:<l j Him honor that day. but who before the week ended were crying with another crowd: "Away with Him I Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" Their faith was futile because it led to uo coufes-! sion. nor consecration. There is much faith in Christ that is j like that to-day. It is spasmodic, hysterical. ephemeral. It leads people to church at Easter time, or at Christmas, who rarely if ever are seen there at any : other time of the whole year. It may [ he that such .iave come to ehm\?h ? more to show their new found faith in j Christ; but we will uo.t bring that no- j cusatfon against them. We will give! there credit for a little faith, even if it j . does not last except but for one or two ' days of the year. Then there is a great deal of this kind of faith out in the world that never gets into the churches even for once i . or twice a year. It is a negative, passive faith. It has nothing against Christ, but it leads to nothing for Him. ~ ^ nAAnl/v it'L A n*!H ! JLiieie a it* iui> vi i^rui.>nr ?ui/ >?in iv ! . you. if you asked them, that they bej lieve iu Christ, and yet tliey are doing nothing for His cause or kingdom. They never have confessed Kim pub-; licly. They never have enlisted in His service. Now faith of this kind is good .is far . as it goes. bu. it doesn't go far enough.? It is better than unbelief and oppcsi- j tion. I suppose, but it is sometimes: harder to deal with. ..nd to get any- j thing out of. than are these. I have j thought Our faith, if it is real, and j if it amounts to anything, must lead us ; ' to confession, and to consecration, to service and to sacrifice. It is of the great duty and privilege of confessing Christ that I would speak j especially this morning. We see in the j test that there were many in Christ's ; time who believed on Him, but who did j >? not confess their belief, nor show their j allegiance. There are very many such ! to-day. I believe, and it is to those and j of those that I would speak. Why is it < that there are so many timid Chris-i lians, and hesitating half-hearted Christians in the world? "Wiiy is it that there are so many men of good morals, and of good wiil, and perhaps of Christian characters, who are unattached to any of our churches, and who, although they believe in Christ, have never confessed Iliui in that way, at least. Again we find the answer in the text. "Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed 0:1 Him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it. lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of Cod." The first reason is, false fears. These timid believers did not confess Christ for fear of being put out of the synagogue. The Pharisees had issued a decree That if any member of their synagogues should so much as confess that lie knew Jesus he would be excommunirvitp<i from the synagogue. They were afraid of this threat or decree, and so they did not confess Christ. They did not have faith enough to make them hold and fearless or to lead tliem to do their duly whatever might be the consequences. They took counsel of their fears, and so they failed in their duty. It meant much to thein to lose their place in the synagogue. They knew that. It really meant more to them to confess Christ even if they did lost their place in the synagogue. They did not know that. They did not know that as we know it to-day. We blame them, but in blaming them we condemn ourselves, and the people of this day who do not confess Chrish There are very many to-day who believe In Christ with more or less faith who do not make any public confession or profession of their faith. What hinders themV Many things, no doubt, but among those many things this ?a false fear, the fear of giving up or iosiDg some coveted position or pleasure. Let me illustrate what 1 mean. There was a family at one time attending this church quite regularly. I asked them several times if they would not like to make a public profession of their faith and join our church. They always objected, and gave me some weak excuse, but'finally they gave me the real reason. They said: "You know, we like to play cards some times, and we go to the theatre once in a while, and wo don't think that a fhurch member ought to do these things, so we don't join the church/' Thus, for the fear of losing these things, they never made a public confession of their faith by uniting with the church. They* were wrong, and I told them so. They were wrong in the first place, in concluding that a church member might never play cards, or go to the theatre- without injury to his soul, or to the church: and then they were utterly wrong in the second place, in that they concluded that these things were wrong for the believer iu the church, and especially, in the third place, in believing that these things, even if they were wrong and had to be given up, were of more importance than joining the church, and so chose these rather than the fulfilling of their faith by a public confession. I believe there are many like them who put some little thing, or false fear, iir the way of doing their full duty toward their God. And thus they stultify their souls and prove false to their faith. There are many mo say to me: "I would like to be a Christian and join the church, but there are so many things that I would have to give up that now I like to do." They are wrong. n becoming a Christian we need to give up ouly what io wrong, and every true person ought to be willing to do that, anyway. And then the things that we )cie are as nothing compared toHhe things That we gain. When we can say. with Paul, "For me to live is Christ." then we will count ail other coveted things as refuse in order that we may have more of Christ. Aje. even death will be a gain to us. for it will give us more of Christ. "Godli* ? ? /- i. _ v i? Kfa tli o f ness is pronuiuie. uum iui iuc iu& iuu? now is, and for the life that is to come." Away, then, with all false fears and silly excuses, and let all who believe in Christ confess Christ. This is His own desire for us, as we know. "For whosoever shall confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father in heaven." But not only do false fears keep people from the duty and the privilege of confessing their faith in Christ: there is another reason given iu the text. It is false loves. "For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of Cod." They wished to he thought well of by these Pharisees of the syilagogue and to receive their praise. Their praise was something real and present and tangible. The praise of God for duty well done: that was far off and uncertain. Tffey believed in this lowly Xazarene. They thought He was the Messiah, and. if He was the Messiah, it would certainly be to the glory of God if they would confess their faith in Him. It would help on God's kingdom in the worid. But if they should declare their faith in Christ, the Pharisees would be displeased and no longer praise and glorify them. And so they choose the glory aud praise of the Pharisees. rather than the glory and praise <?f God. There are very many to-day who make that mistake. They dove the praise cf men. of their comrades, more il.. Onf7' onil cn tliPV ffl n luau U1U U1 uu.:. l.n* .;v, - in (loins: their full duty to God. They are afraid of what some of their friends will say if they come out and make a hold confession of their faith in Christ. I believe this love of the praise of men. and coupled with it the fear of what others will say, is keeping many from their well-known duty toward Gcd. Oh. let neither false fears nor false loves keep any one back from duty, his full duty, toward God and His church. The Snre Foundation. Some are ail their days laying the foundation, and are never able to build upon it to any comfort to themselves or usefulness to others; and the reason is. because they will be mixing with the foundation, stones that are only for the following building. Tbey will be bringing their obedience, duties. mortification of sin. and the like unto the foundation. These are pre eious stones to build with. but unmeet to be first laid, to bear upon thein the whole weight of the building. The foundation is to be laid in grace, merry. pardon in the blood of Christ. But if the foundation be of grace, it is not at all of works: otherwise grace Is no more grace. If anything of our own be mixed with grace in this matter, it utterly destroyed the nature of grace, which, if it be not alone, is not at all. ?Owen. - ; f V KASi73 c." t;-;z ;:cuse fly. fiarold ?omfr.?, M. A., T?lls Whence He Come*, Whlthur He Goe*. The common house fly (Mil sea Domestical is a creature of such secretive habits, that although from the very earliest times he has been with us, ami the most ancient writers have mentioned and described him, still very little was known of his origin and history. It remained for the eminent Boston biologist, Dr. A. S. Packard, iu 1873. to make known his origin, habits and transformations from the egg through the larva state with its two changes to the pupa state, then to the perfect fly. Aear toe urst or August me reman? lays about 120 eggs of a dull gray color, selecting fresh horse manure In which to deposit her eggs, and so secretes them that they are rarely seen; it takes only twenty-four hours for them to hatch into the first form of larva, a white worm one-quarter of an Inch in length and one-tenth in diameter. They feed on the decaying matter of their environment, and two changes or casting of skius occur hefore they turn into the pupa state; this change comes' very suddeuly. The entire period from the egg to the pupa state is from three to four days. If moist food is wanting when in this condition they will eat each other and thus decrease their number ** v.t and humidity greatly assist then development, as upon careful computation each ponnd of manure around stables and outhouses develops under favora hie conditions over one thousand flies. It is no wonder that where these conditions exist. we/'have such a veritable harvest of the fly pest. In the pupa state when the fly is about to emerge, the end of the pnpa case splits off, making a hole through which the fly pushes a portion of its head; but here it seems to eueounter a difficulty; the pupa case is' too stiff and hard to pass through, but nature comes to its assistance, and a sort of bladder like substance forms behind the head, which swells out apparently filled with air; it acts as a means of pushing away the pnpa case and reieases the fly. When the fly first emerges it ruus around witli its wings soft, small and baggy; it is pale and the colors are not set; its head rapidly expands and the bladder formation passes away? within a few hours the wings grow and harden, it is now a perfect fly. The whole time from the depositing of the egg to the perfect fly is not over ten days in duration. Many persons who observe small flies hi midsummer suppose tbey are the young, but such is not the case, they are flies that are J imperfectly nourished in the larvae j and pupae states, and do not attain i full size, in fact, they are the dwarfs of their race. Tile male fly differs from the female in the front of the I head between the eyes, being at least one-tliird narrower, thongs in size the female is rather smaller. In the pupa state they are often fed j upon by the larvae of some of tbe beetles, notably that of the carpet beetle, whose pnpa, the dreaded Durfalo "moth," will attack the young fly in- the pupa case aud eating it possess the case for Itself. Adult flies, like most other creatures, have parasites of minute size that prey upon them; these can often be seen as presenting small red specks over the body of the fly. Another enemy in the form of a fungus often attacks the fly in the early autumn. This makes its appearance as a white swelling and the white spores of the disease can be seen penetrating the body of the fly, which it finally distends and ruptures. The fly hibernates in winter, but with his usual secretive habit, it is very difficult to find him in his winter quarters. TVith the first chill of antumn the flies feeling the cold, seek tem. porary warmth in houses, and clustering together form bunches in the corners of walls and other places. They are then sluggish and not so active as in the warm weather. However, they -?- *? p fo TT UO UUl uiutxe a yciiuaurui oi?j iuuuu?s but on the first mild, sunny day, seek the windows to get out and find their permanent winter hiding place; many prefer to make their homes in the roots of grass on lawns where they hide themselves so effectually that the ice an$ snow of winter does not destroy them ifa their hibernating state. If in the first warm days of spring when the snow is gone and the grass on the lawns becomes dry and warm, long before the yellow dandelion shows its head, a close observer may see numbers of flies crawling op on the ?rass to get the welcome sunshine, their wings standing out stiff and useless;, but they soon acquire the power of flight in the warm rays, of the sun. A ? great many days, however, elapse before they appear in the homes of men, where they are such unwelcome visitors. In recent years, the medical profession have demonstrated that while the fly itself does not propagate disease, it is one of the most industrious carriers of disease germs which by contact adhere to his feet, hairy legs and body, distributing them to innocent victims. If every house-keeper could know ail these interesting facts which have never before been brought to their attention, they would realize the Importance of securing the very best fly exterminator.

This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs Pinkham, daughterin-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.
