'A SEliMON FOR SUNDAY A STRONG OlS'tjOORSE ENtlTLfp, LOVE FOR MAN.** i , > r : ???? The Rev. Dr. Ilohert Kokni Delivers Thotightfiil And, Convincing Addrem Vrcliit III to Abjure SelflHTuicsn und Aslinsllim-Obrltt the lJeul. . BnooKLYW, N. Y.?Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. Robert Rokom. rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd, preached -a thoughtful and convincing berinon on "God's T/Ove For Aran." The texts were from John iii: 16: "God so loved the -world that Ho gave Ilis only begotten Son, that whoso believeth on Hun, might not perish, but have everlasting life," and Mark ix:24: "Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief." Dr. Rogers said among other things: I I begin our thought this morning with the ureat declaration of the beloved Apostle John who, batter than any other of Christ's disciples, understood the vital meaning underlying the Master's life. Jesus was to John a distinct personality with whom he was acquainted, a man amonx men, but He was more than this. He was also at the same time the love ot God incarnate in this Man's nature, so that He represented tho nature of God, and His feeling and desires and purposes toward g mankind. God loved the world. Now, after beginning with this thought, I have taken another verse from Scripture, to indicate man's attitude of mind toward John's declaration, "Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief." John's statement is a condensed but very complete outline of what the Christian religion aims to teach men. It is the message of the Christian Church that Jesus Christ is the personal demonstration of God's love for man. The life and words of Jesus are the illustrations of how God loves and how He acts toward man, and also what God desires that man shall think and do toward God and toward his fellow man. Now this kind of thinking leads us into the acknowledgment of the supernatural. It brings us to the admission that our Divine Father loves man, and teaches him, and guides him by laws and standards which He reveals to man aceordiiiR to his nucus. in other words, the Christian religion stands for the presence of God in this life we are now living, and that He has help to giv^S to man, and demands to make of man. There arc countless men and women who believe implicitly in this statement of God's presence ruling over life, and who live in their belief, oflcring up themselves to divine guidance, regretting their sins and imploring pardon in perfect faith that it will be granted. There arc, on the other hand, some perhaps, who say they have no belief in the divine and spiritual, and who would place themselves outside of the declarations of the Christian religion, but 1 believe this number to be few and growing smaller every day, as the fuller vision of the world and its rich spiritual meaning dawns upon their intelligence. Hut thereis another large class with whom 1 am enecially concerned, who believe and yet do not believe. Thev would Christian faith, neither are they i-enAy to give tlieir full allegiance to it. Tliore is u multitude of such people among our men and women, and may we not ask seriously why is this the ease? Is it because Christ's teaching and His life are so hard to be understood that spiritual things can make no derstood. Are some kinds so constituted naturally that spiritual things can make no effective appeal to them? If we were for a moment to admit this it would destroy the greatest power which we believe inherent in Christ's: religion, namely, that to every man, bond or free, black or yellow, barbarian or Scythian, Jew or Gentile, learned oi unlearned, rich or poor, it has the power of entering into his heart and transforming his life. There is no respect of persons with God. I grant *you that Christ found that there were certain places where even He could not present llis message with conviction, but the cause of His failure was the hardness of men's hearts and not the difficulty of comprehending His gospel, and this same reason will be found to hold good in these Atheism i* no longer supposed to be a necessary adjunct of tlie scientist; hut on the contrary, the men who are opening the widest visions of new truth to the world in these daya and teaching the profoundegt lessons to mankind arc men who are siiw cere believers in the message of God's presence as revealed by Jesus Christ, or at least are ab!o to say with earnestness. "Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief." When we conic to eousidcr our own lives and those of the ordinary men and women around about whom we can understand, what is it that prevents the message of Jesus Christ from having the eft'cct upon us all that it ought to have? There has been for the past few years a warning sounded that men are not attending our Christian churches, and the reasons are being given in various ways. Clergymen are uninteresting; churches are cold, uninspiring places; doctrines are antiquated and illiberal and meaningless to man in the struggle for life. Perhaps I there is a truth ip all these statements; it is not Jifiicult for even a stupid man to f.n-l .1.... :ii ...... .. I'idiiaime I'sciise ior anytliing he cares to do, or to leave undone. l'arents who are bringing up children, teachers who are educating tfiein, understand the readiness of plausible excuses. Htft these excuses, whenever given, are not the real reasons why some men do not attend church. Let m" say, first, that 1 believe it is open to demonstration that a larger number of men are interested in the work of the church and attending its services and obeying its inspirations than at any other time iu history. And what is more important, they are attending churches v il.ingly without the compulsion of ancient times when heaven and hell were regarded as in the sole jiower of the church, and men were afraid to absent themselves. Our Y. M. 0. A.'s were never bo pi^perous. The religious nature of our college students was never more genuine than in our own ?lnv?. Hut to speak of those who are not attending our churches, is it not because thcv have never had a true vision of t)ie vital reality and practicability of Christ's messages? The great majority of men in this country, at least, arc nominal Christians. They ?cmi iheir children to Sunday school, they like to have their wives and Bisters in union with the church, and if asked whether they themselves believe in the teachings of Christ and Mis Church, would cither evade the question or else say they could follow Christian precepts without attending church, is not the fault of lack of attendance on Christian worship due rather to the manner of life wo aie living than to a definite unbelief in the virtue of the Christian religion? They are so much absorbed in the struggle for money that thcv have neither time nor desire to sec anything else. Every one is hunting for it, the busii.ess man, the politician, the professional man, the laborer, the coachman, the waiter, the conductor, the porter, the barber, the messenger, the clergy man who is paid for burials and baptism.**, the corporation. This one craze seems to leave no part of American so1 ^ ciety intact, rich and poor, hitch and lo?v j alike, are infected with this disease, which , is gapping all the spiritual and moral energy of the generation. The church in not the only place from which such men nnd women absent themselves. Our lectures on history and travel, and scienco and art are giving up their business because the cry lias gone forth that men will not attend lectures. The literature that appeals to people is not that I jfhich lift* the mind and heart to ?' % thoughts, but the type ot dimsy novel thai ' simply entertains. The Church of ('hriftt i? no longer a comfortable place in which the unrepentant sinner can sit. Keligion has become much / more of a reality to every inan. It Oils a more sacred place. It is not regarded in these days as simply a combination of ritoa and ceremonicH. ncrformeil in & ?r>pr>inl building, but rcfigion is known by alf men * to be co-ordinate and co-extepsive with lif? and the man who willingly live* ninfullv and in disregard of Christ's standard will not add to his degradation by playing the hypocrite and impostor. This means that . in the minds of irreligious men there is a { growing respect for religion and a sound J regard for the church even among those J who do not attend. I say that it is the life which the age is calling on men to live ' that is weakening the religious life and ' faith of men. Men cannot serve (rod and I mammon is true forever. Can this evil ba overcome, and how? I believe that it can, ' and the way to overcome it is to satisfy ( men that we are living in a moral and spir- 1 itual world in which Cod is preaent and ) in which He makes His demands, l'rofes- 1 sor James, of Harvard, speaks of the uni- * vcrsality of religious experience opening up a now world which science 1ms hitherto 1 Bcoffed at, but which must be recognized j if we know by our own experience that ' there is a realm of thought, of love, of 1 conscience, of righteousness, toward which things our hearts yearn. We know more ' man ever tne laws of this department of 1 life, how, under God, beneficence and ' growth and power nre added to life by j their obedience, and how injury and weak* ! ness and suffering are the resultants of J disobedience to the individual and to the 1 nation and the race. Men believe in theao 1 things, because they see them. If they do ' not believe in their power as you and I, 1 dear Christian friends do, it is becauso J they have been hindered by other things 1 from looking at them seriously enough, if they can be turned from the craze of the ' age, which is selfishness, they will be able 1 to see and appreciate the workings of this 1 real kingdom of love and Christ in our 1 midst. If the church is to help men it , must open its doors and heart to such men. It must not refuse their admission or re- ' tard them by insulting them when they 1 come. If a man is looking for righteous- 1 ness and anxious to govern his life accord- 1 ing to that inspiration, the church ought to be ready to give to such an honest man all he is ready and willing to receive. I-et *is not be afraid of our sacraments beinu I 1 desecrated. Men will not come to them unless they really want them and believe 1 in them. We ask too much of men about what they believe or do not believe. The 1 working and living Church of Christ is j not that which shall only have a place and 1 a welcome for those who arc fully equipped with faith in all its sacred doctrines, out ' a church which, like Christ, shall draw art 1 men unto it and gradually, by its spiritual love and care, nourish men into its highest privileges and possessions. If men can believe something of Christ's j revelation of God, if they can say, "Lord. 1 believe," it becomes then the part of i every Christian as an individual and of all | ' Christians as an organization to help their unbelief until men can enter into the fnl- j ness of Jlis message and take for their inspiration in life, "Clod so loved the world that lie gave His only begotten Son, that j ' whoso bclieveth on llim might not perish, j but have everlasting life." This is the j 1 Christian's message of God's presence i among us. Cod loving men, inspiring and guiding them toward His own ideal of per- | tcctness. This is the opening of the gates i of salvation to men. from selfishness .mil ! animalism, into the happiness and eneour- ! 1 ugement of knowing that we are the sona ' of God, for (Jod hath not called us to unclcnnncss, but to holiness. When the ' churches of Christ take this attitude to- , ward men ami men shall learn that the j ministration of the church is toward help- 1 iiig them out of their sin.s and mistakes, I rather than in a constant^ condemnation cf ! their faults, I believe they will be found j within i'.s walls, ready to he helped and j led toward a larger knowledge of God and i Ilia love. Doing One's Heal, We should not only seek to Mo our best, hut also to do the best that can he done. No man can tell when lie has done his beat. The best should always be the highest reach possible. The striving for excellence us not alone for the sake of the life it makes possible. No work should ever j be regarded as "good enough" if it could j be made better. It was said of Lord I Brougham that such was his love of excel- | lenco that, "if his station in life had been | uiiij linn ?i a uooioiacK, no would never ; have rested satisfied until he had become | tlie best bootblack in England." It in no I wonder, remarks the Baptist Union, that j lie was one of the best men in the empire. | In seeking to do his best, ever aiming at ; excellence, he was gradually making him self one of the best men. And after all, 1 the great purpose of life is only achieved | when one not on!y does his best, but is his 1 best. liHIglotis Thought. You cannot begin anything you never | did.

"lletan Omri." No account is here taken of he four years he was contesting the kinglorn with Tibni. From verse 15 we see hat his reign must really have begun in :he twenty-seventh year of Asa's reign; ind comparing the two statement's we con:lude that four years later, at the death >f Tibni, in the thirty-first year of Asa's eign. he began to reign alone. "Twelve rears." This is supposed to include the ivholp time of his reign ? four years with I'ibni and eight years alone. There is, towever, a difference of opinion as to lie chronology here. "In Tirzah." lie reigned nix years in Tirzah and six in Samaria. _ ?. "The lull Samaria.' The paiace ot I'lrzah being in ruins. Omri, in select* ug the site of his royal residence, was naturally influenced by considerations both of pleasure and advantage. In the centre of \ wide amphitheatre of mountains, about nx miles from Sehechem, rises an oblong liill with steep, yet accessible sides, and a long flat top extending east and west, and rising 500 or (500 feet above the valley. What Omri probably built as a mere palatial residence, became the capital of the kingdom instead of Shcchein. The choice of Omri was admirable in selecting i position which combined strength, beauty mid fertility. "Slicmer." The Hebrew form of Shoiuer. from whence the hill was called Shomeron or Samaria. "T?vo tr 1cnts." About This was a large sum. 25. "Kvil. . Worse than all." lie was worse than the wicked Kings who had reigned before him. "lie went farther than they 11a< 1 none in establishing ini<pi11y by law, ;.ik1 forcing hi? subjects to eoui()!y with him in it; for we read in Micah ti lti of the 'statutes of Oinri.' the keening of which made Israel a desolation." We cannot doubt that these statutes of Oinri were measures adopted for the more completely isolating the people from the house r>f the Lord at .Jerusalem and of perpetuating?perhaps increasing- t heir idolatrous |?raetices. 2ti. "Made Israel to sin." Note the power of a wicked life: I. ft is the more dangerous when associated with material prosperity (v. 24). 2. It transforms ii King into a tyrant (vs. 2.1, 20). I!. It is the less excusable in a man of valor and rapacity tv. Ji). -i. it entails sultering and woo on succceding generations. 27. "And his might." It appear* that lie stood well in the army, for it was in ramp that he was elected to the throne, yet in his relation to Jehovah he stood worse than any of his predecessors and was farthest from (Sod.

What without reHuion is socalled civilization? 28. "Otnri slept." lie died a natural death. II. The reign and character of Allah (vs. 20-33). 2il. "Year of Asa." Asa saw six Kings of Israel buried. "I?cgan Ahab." More particulars are recorded of Ahab than of any of the other Kings of Israel. 30. "Did evil . . . Above all." lie even exceeded the iniquitv of his wicked father. 31. "A light thing.*' lie not only broke the second commandment by introducing false gods, but he broke the lirst also by bringing in heathen deities. The great sin of Ahab, wliich distinguished him from his predecessors, was his introduction of the worship of Haul, consequent upon his marriage with .lezebcl, a name even more infamous than his own; and hi* formal establishment ot this gross and palpable idolatry as the .eligion of the state.

Many of them, moreover, if on the sidewalk, will rush violently into mo middle ot the road as a car passes, and It Is only by a violent swerve on the driver's part that the Immolation of the animal can be averted. The pace of the vehicle scarcely enters Into the question; the dog simply rushes out at right angles as soon as the car Is opposite; indeed, the animal's best chance of escape Is for the vehicle to be so fast that It has sped by before the dog has had time to hurl Itself under the back wheels. The Pluck of Edison. There aro today about a quarter ot a billion lncandcscent lamps In this country. The man who has not seen an electric light 1b looked upon as a curiosity. But It Is only twenty-flvo yeare since Edison succeeded In making a practical electric light, after three years of failures. Mr. Edison began his work on an electric light in 187G. In two years ho had made nothing but failures and he had lost hl9 health. He took a month's vacation and began again. All tho greatest electricians of the world said that an Incandescent lamp was Impossible. But Edison persevered, and in a few months more hit upon the right idea.
