Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme "The Ten Words," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Exodus 20:1-17. He said: Whatever may be our personal and private convictions as to the manner of God's revelation of Himself to Moses; however much we may differ as to the exact fornr in which the law-giver of Israel received the message of Divinity; however much we may be at variance as to the exactness of the Bible story in its portraiture of the scene when Moses met Jehovah on Sinai; no matter what may be our belief concerning the date and the authorship of the book of the Exodus, the simple fact is that the ten commandments are the expression of fundamental truths that God has revealed to man. Behind all human law and jurisprudence lies the code of Moses. These ten at^ra, terse negative commands that Moses got from God are at thebasis of all legal theory, and practice. The d^calog is the codification of the divine will for the guidance and control of human action. The ten words are the rules of the Almighty lor the regulation of man's relations with humanity and his Maker. Take them, merely, if you will, as the human recognition of man's obligations toward God and society and still the commandments are of God. Whether we reach the conclusion by the tiresome philosophy of the Middle Ages, or by the simple reason ing of the earliest minds of Israel, or by the scientific discriminative processes of modern thought, the fact is that all truth is from God. "Thus saith the Lord" is the source of life's verities. It is God who inspires us, God who gives us knowl- , edge and understanding and wisdom; God it is who sends us onward ( and upward. He it was who put , into the hearts of Moses and of Israel the love of His laws and the desire to do His will. And to-day He strives with us as really as He , ever endeavoVed with the generations that are dead. The questfbn is* not whether or no 1 God gave Moses tablets of stone; the , issue is not whether or no Moses , wrote the story of the scene on the' .mount, as it is preserved to us; the point to be decided is whether or no Moses spoke God-given truth. It all hinges not on the manner of the delivery of the commandments but , upon the nature and divineness of ( the matter revealed. Do Moses' , words bear the marks of a heaven born gift, are they fraught with the ; power and the wisdom of Jehovah Himself? Are they stamped with J a celestial brand and do they ex- ^ press everlasting verities? Are ] they just to men and are they J worthy of the King? Do they meet ^ the needs of men? Are they in- . spirational? These are the tests of 1 the usefulness and the worthiness of ^ the commandments. These are the < qualities that must inhere in them ' ere they can command the respect J of humanity and evidence God's orig-: , Ination. By these standards the ten com- \ - mandments are divinely inspired. A ] glance at them discovers to us the j seal of -the Eternal. Experience of 1 . their value in the midst of the ac- { ' tivitles of this world's life proves < their worth to mankind. Analysis s of their content and their aim leads ( us to aeciare mem wunuy ujl jc- ( hovah. With all that inquiry asks , and criticism demands the ten words j are at one. , Consider the commandments sepa- j rately and you will grant I speak the , - truth. The call of God for undivided ] loyalty to Himself is but the voice \ of reason. 'No man can serve two j masters. And it is a certainty that : least of all can he serve two masters ] whose interests are diametrically op- j posed. We cannot serve righteous- < ness and sin at the same time. God \ deserves the full devotion of every j human -heart. To worship an idol ] is" to lose the consciousness of the : apirituality of j?)ivinijy; to mistake ] - means for t$e end/ material mani- ( testations for the unseen 4>"uast. To play fast and kfbse with God's name 1 ; is an insult to the Father. The self- ] : respect of God requires human self- ] control. Profanity is indecent and , degrading to mind and soul. The ; ' need and the preciousness of a Sab- ( bath's rest is too apparent to war- j rant comhient. Common courtesy . 1 accords respect to our earthly par> ents, especially when they are worthy < .f. of respect. Strict obedience to the ] ' > Command . "thou shalt not kill" ^ .v. would spoil the business of the exe- ] r cutioners; stop War at once. . >. The fruits of adultery are all too < distressingly visible.

Satisfaction with j ~ a fair share of this world's goods , is better than covetousness. . , Tiie decalog meets humanity at ( , vital points and helps mankind * ahead. Although included in the , law of love laid down by Christ it t is by no means abrogated. The ten 1 commandments bind us as well as ^ , Moses. The words of Christ empha- . size their demands. The? laws of < $ Moses are not defeasible or defunct. ( . They will always be obligating. No j /. statement of our Lord and no bit ; of New Testament wisdom legislates ( '.them out of existence or counter- : mands them. They still bihd us. .

The words ; i . of Christ serve most to imbed the i: ' laws of Moses deeper in the minds j Of Christians who are honest. 4\*ow it is very generally supposed ; - r. : - Ww%\ o-iS; i| DYTHE RE^-Jjjp: 5A W- HENDER.So^' HE: PAMOUS DIVINE^ Ten Words. that the laws of the ten tablets art of merely negative force. Explicitly, I presume, that is so. On the face of things the element of prohibition enters, largest, into the commands. But- every explicit prohibition and negation impliedly asserts a corresponding and correlated affirmation and positive admonition. "Thou snail nut. bays me law, explicitly. "Thou shalt" says the same law implicitly. The law against murder implies the right of life. The discountenancing of falsehood puts a premium on truth. To smash our idols is the first step toward wholespirited service of the alone true G4d. The command to stop work and shut up shop implies that a day's rest is necessary and that God receive specific recognition from His children once a week at least. These and the rest of the commands indicate to the man with the open mind that the ten words are something more than a series of "don'ts." Talk about avoiding prohibitions is not well balanced. It is impossible for the thinking man to escape them. The positive commands of Jesus suggests innumerable prohibitions. The mere "thou shalt" intimates that there is something we must not do. Men tell us that prohibitions cause men to desire to do wrong, that commands not to do evil impel men to sin just because of humanity's sheer perverseness. But sin comes from the wilfulness of the sinner and not because of any law, negative or positive. Jesus promulgated the most extensive as well as the most statesmanlike positive law that the world has ever known; but we know that even many of His followers fail to obey it, as well as the multitude of those who defiantly deny Him. Despite Christ's positive example and His positive declarations and demands men still continue to run after sin. The shrine of Mammon is jammed with votaries. The streets resound with curses. The harlots and the men of unclean life still strike unholy bargains. Homes are shattered and lives'are blighted by the lying tongue.' The cells in "murderers' row" are ever full. The nations maintain armed camps. Legislators spend their time trying to devise ways and means to de-Christianize our Sabbath. I had almost said, legislators waste their time; for their plans will never be crowned with success except America as Ephraim "is a cake not turned." Everywhere and * mnn B xn tMTlwintr 311(1 every moment men mc that in the face of the positive command of Christ that they should desire and strive for the best. But no one is foolish enough to say that the- affirmative demand of Jesus that humanity do and he good impels mankind to disobedience. Likewise it ought to be patent that men sin against negative laws not because of the laws but in spite of them. The ten commandments are no more responsible for sin than is the eleventh. A.nd the man who says that law excited him to sin invents a lame and a thin excuse to say the most for it. A due and proper regard for tire ten commandments not only will lead men to cease from doing the interdicted sins but also will inspire them to do good. The implicit "thou shalt" is just as mandatory as the explicit "thou shalt not." "Thou shalt not covet," for you will have enough to do and will secure sufficient of this world's stores if you ivill attend strictly to your own affairs. "Thou shalt not bear false witness," for your own reputation for veracity is lost with the lie. And ao matter how well you may lie or iiow smooth, and slick you may be the odds are against you, for the truth must win and it will win. 'Thou shalt not commit adultery," t>ecause the perpetuity of the race is dependent on its purity. "Thou shalt not kill" because God has given the other man the inalienable right :o life. "Honor thy father and thy mother" and let them precipitate my troubles if any there are to be, lot you. "Remember the Cabbath lay" and make it a true rest-day. rT" -v?u nnf +airo thp name of JL iiuu ftuaiv UUb l.ua.v the Lord thy God in vain," and yet [ have heard many a man take more liberties with the name of God than fou would allow any man to take with yours. Thou shalt not bow iown to images or serve other gods, for the Lord is a spirit and a unity; m idol is a delusion and a snare. Let us^>ut aside all quibbling and splitting of hairs and* admit the right of the ten words to rule as ;he laws of our lives. Let us ac- l knowledge their divine inspiration tnd their worthiness. Let us not 1 >eek to escape either their commands ! )r their implicates. If we cannot j live under the laws of God with peace rad quietude of mind then let us I ;hange mot the laws but our mode >f living. The fault is not with God's egulations but with our society and Its forms. God giveth and possesseth wisdom. Humanity has a monopoly the wiseacres. The statement that the ten commandments are of no use to-day and i Lhat we have outgrown them is a j Dit of fiction. No man is old enough Lq outgrow essential truth, nor is | mv neonle wise enough and strong enough to get along^ without the ten commandments. So long as men have minds they must recognize the force of "thou shalt not" as the | Jecalog presents it. The new com- j raandment may sum up all the wis- i 3om of the old ones, but the truth that swayed our fathers' fathers must still command allegiance and respect. > . | Where to Pnt Your Trust. My trust is not that I am holy, but that, being unholy, Christ died for me. My rest is here, not in what I am or shall be, or feel or know, but In what Christ is and must be?in what Christ did and is still doing as He stands before yonder throne of glory.?C. H. Spurgson i i DOCTORS MISTAKES Are said often to be buried six feet under ground. But many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they present alike to themselves and their easy-going or overbusy doctor, separate diseases, for which he, assuming them to oe such, prescribes his pills and"potions.

Itching Pfmples Covered Body?Disi charged For Disability?Found Cure in Cuticura Remedies. '1 enlisted in the Corps cf Engineers as ft telegraph operator, and, while stationed in the Philippines, I became subject to the 'Dobie Itch,' as the natives call it. In this disease small, white, itching pimples form under the skin, generally between the toes, on the limbs, between the lingers and under the arms. I never knew of a case originating outside the Philippine Islands, but have known of many cases where it h?j3 returned in this country and invariably at the same time of the year as the original attack. The cause, so far as I could learn, was some tropical parasite or germ peculiar to that region. "T .a An/1 tUot T trie In mv A gut OVJ UQU tuav A IIWI VVUMMVV* ?W I quarters a -meek art a time.
