A SEKMON FOR SUN9DAI AN ELOQUENT D SCOURSE^ BY THE RE.V. W. S. RAINSFORD, D* D. SuUlfft : Tlio IiOvn of <3oil?Tlifl Ctirtuflnn k 4 Church In IMucntl in Trust t?y iloil m~~ Will* tlio Oaipnl-Lct U* Try to Give * It t? tlwi World. BllOOKr.YN, N. Y. ? The Rev. W. S. Raincford, D. T)., rector .sof St. <?eorge'B P. TO. Church, ^Manhattan, preached at St, Peter's Church, State anil Homl etrceta, in this borough, at the evening scrvicc Sunday. ilia subject was "Tiie Love of God," and lie said: People are flaying to day that the church does not occupy aa important * place in the thoughts of men?that it has not as inilucntial a place in our nation or in society as it used to have, i ?pcak, of course, of the \vlio!e Christian church, and one thing is sure and that is that the church cannot hold her own by Jsimpl.v asserting, however loudly or persistently, the ({rcatncss of her deeds in Che past. Whatever success or Hhoricotnings there mav have been in anuient times, one tiling is certain, and that is that we live in an aue when men almo.st violently are Reeking the truth: when the keenest sort of light is turned in oil directions in search o? the truth. When thoso who have got anything to do can do it; when those who have got anything to say worth saying can say it, and when those who have got anything to he can be it, hut there is no mercy for the sham. When, in the future, they come to criticisc our time ; it will evident)# he criticised as an age of j truth, and it? spirit will be spoken of as the spirit, of truth; it will be criticised -from all other agOH as a time when men rrronh rt/tiMlinnu < lio It nth nnil when great gi<?ry was gained in discovering and obeying the truth. There is no argument anions thinkers whatsoever about From this it JoIIowb that if we Christiana have not get something real to give to the world, to soeiely, to the United States, at# this time we are really going to lose our hold and position; nnd>*he -cpiestion th.it we Want to auk ourselves, individually and collectively, is this. What have 1 got to ^ive to the world? What is it the church has got to give to the world? f am inclined to think, if I were allowed to see you, one by one, nnd ask you to put dowi: what it is on paper: What you as an individu d and as a Christian have got to l?ivi? /* I l)i? wnr!<l 'tiu{ flio olinrnK nu a community? there might lie a great deal of ; uncertainty. Tnat this question is one tliafc ! deserves i\ vory clear answer there is no I <Iqubt, and everybody ought to know what that answer isliould he. riiero is no manner of doubt what the church has got to give to the world; what the individual Christian hes got to give to tiie worid. I want to talk about that to-night. Wo, the Christian Church, arc placed in trust by Cod with the gospel. That is what we have got to give to the world. If 'we art: Christians we believe the world oannot get on without that gosncl. Wo *nsc the word goapol in a very slipshod way If we are Christians we believe that not -only can not the world do without the gospel, but that business and politics and the 'United States democracy in this Western Hemisphere cannot do without the gospel. A great many people believe that, but when we ask them to put it into practice, not only by going to church, not by putting /t trifle in the plate, not by repeating a creed or two, but to go bac?c to their work and fs-t; if they cannot take the gospel ^ with them there. Tlicy'say, "Itusiriess is iaAk one thing, and religion is another." Mm that talk that wav have Kot to strn nsi.lr: they ore no liclp cither to (he church or the world. They are misleading; tlicy am tho people tint tend to make the whole 11.mii}; a pham, hceausc '.lie world won't tolerate, and right y ?nr n religion thut can confine itself to certain times and seasons and that can satisfy itself by obedience to certain consciences on Suud iv, and perhaps once a week thrown in. We hive not a defm-.i.e charge lor the wovld, and that is thi.- gospel of testis Christ. That bi nif; so, lot me lor I you !o another question, and as 1 pu! iv 1 shall -I; to answer it: What i* the goapei oi .lesti* (Jliript?

Th.it verse si ys three tilings. First, ? "God loved tlie world." You ?nv: "1 knowit." No, vosi don't know it. It is a trc Incndons thing to know. Yon 6ay: "I believe it." I hope so, hut it is a very hard thing lo believe. "(Jod loved the wor d.' That does not mean, (Sod love* me; (I > : 1 laves the United States (we Americans i na if that was what we profoundly belie veil). "God loved the world" dues not mean the elect, "??<! and inv wife, mv pon John and Iiis wife; wo four, no m.?rc, iiinen." Not the people; we like, but tho heathen Chinee. It does not mean .vj^et y that f!od made this wor.d- thnt i? wonder ful?hui tli<* gospel says the world is not simply a 'aw world, but it is a love wor'd. If any man pays it is easy to believe, ho doea not know much about it. 1( you 'oge one" whom you love better than yourself it is not easy to believe it is a love world. When some bitter trouble comes, when paiti racks your body, when the one tiling you lived for is taken away, in the hour of trouble ami toil and pain it is not easy to get up and say: "f will be a man cftcr the heart of Jesu? Christ, for I believe that CJod loves the world; it is a love world." I do not believe there i.? one mother or father that has hail experience, who does not know it is not easy to believe at times that (!od loves the world. Hut it is the gos'n-1, thi? vireat no.snel of .lesus Christ. The second thing is (his: "Cod so loved the world that He gave"--what is the message of e.sus Christ aiiouf. <!? I civitijt?

In destroying rats by poison a paradoxical susceptibility has been noted. When you want to kill a man by poitfon you give him a big dose, while if you Rive him a small quantity dally the whole may be eliminated without fatal effects. On the other hand it has been determined that rats have a peculiar resistance to arsenical poisoning wlrn given in largo doses, while frequently they were destroyed by small deses before the total quantity had readied it) amount equal to single dosea that w?ro successfully withstood.
