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.

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.

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

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.

DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS
Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkbaa, Lynn,
Mass., and Receive Valuable Advice
Absolutely Confidential and Free
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions in regard to her private ills,
even when those questions are asked
by her family physician, and many
continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physicians
propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the reason
why so many physicians fail to
? cure female disease.
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. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge, obtained from years
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.
