Los Angeles, Cal., July 23.—In this sermon the preacher demonstrates the rule of natural law in the'spiritual world, and shows that physical, men tal, moral and spiritual development ought to proceed harmoniously together to produce the best type of manhood and womanhood. The text is Psalm 1, 0, •'The way of the ungodly shall per ish.” Great was the scientific galaxy of the Victorian era. Herbert Spencer and John Tyndall and Thomas Henry Hux ley and Michael Faraday and Sir Hum pliry Davy and Sir Charles Lyell and Sir William Hooker and John Stevens Ilenslow and scores of other botanists in ', pliysDDts and chemists and geolo gists will make the reign of Victoria famous during the coming centuries, a - ihe contemporary poets of Shakespeare immortalized the Elizabethan reign. Vet among all the naturalists who liv ed in England during the nineteenth century not one will be more quoted by future generations than Charles Dar win. The son and grandson of two great ancestors, he was the greatest of the three. From under the overhang lug dome of that great forehead there looked forth penetrating eyes which read the prehistoric genealogies of ani mals and vegetables. As a geologist he read tin* open leaves of rocks. The past ages were to him as seconds of time. 1 He lived not in generations or in con turles, but in ages and in millenniums. Though, like Galilei, he was excom municated by the church and looked upon as an enemy of the Cross, his re searches will yet he used, and are even now being used, to prove that true sci ence and divine revelation are one. Of all the books which Charles Darwin wrote not one has had greater Influence upon the scientific world that his "Or- i Igin of Species by Means of Natural Se- j lection.” We do not accept that book in any of its g.Hlleas teaching, hut in that hook is one sentence which in a narrow sense we do accept. “The stir-1 vival of the fittest” is a sentence which I will go ringing down the corridors of time. We find the survival of the fittest; everywhere. Wo find the stronger plants crowding out the weaker. We find the stronger species living upon | and driving out the weaker sjH'cies. We find tin* stronger creatures of the various species trampling upon and! destroying the animals and plants of ilieir own kind. Stronger Vermin Wenker. The other day 1 was sitting on a j porch overlooking a beautiful yard ] filled with ro-o's. Suddenly I heard a great commotion in the hencoop, i With that I saw 4 a big cut gracefully leap over the fence with a little chicken in her mouth. Then, off In the distance, ; I saw that cat run away in terror from a pursuing dog. Then, in imagination. 1 saw that little dog being seized by a hungry wolf. Then 1 saw the wolf, being killed by a mountain lion. Next l saw the lion'being slain by the bul let of a man. In imagination, every where I saw the stronger preying upon the .weaker. As 1 sat on that porch 1 said to myself, “Is not Charles Dar win’s sentence, ‘tin* survival of the : fittest,’ not only the law of nature. Inn i also the law of God:” Yes, yes, i said, it is true. God deals with the human race just as he deals with the vegetable and animal kingdoms, a well as with the mineral. It Is not for us to vindicate that law. Our in torest and our duty lie in recognizing its existence and adapting ourselves to its operation. The penalty of indo leuce in this world is subjection and finally extinction. The men who are weak through listlessness fall in the race against strong limbed rivals. Those who would win must strive. Strong physically should we be. Why? Because in this rustling, bus tling, pushing. Jostling and high pres sure age it is almost an Impossibility for any man to make a success in life unless lie is liroad of chest, stout of limb and clear of eye. Even under tin* very brightest of conditions the physical strain is awful. With poor physical equipment a successful life is well nigh an impossibility. Many a man of clear brain, true heart and noblest aspirations has been trampled underfoot merely because he had not the physical vitality to do the work which he was called upon to do. The physical weakling of the hu man race is almost In the same posi tion as Is a sick cow amid a herd of stampeding buffalo. If she cannot keep up in the mad race for life, she falls. She is crushed under hoof. Her sisters and brothers pass over her prostrate form and quivering flesh. The physical weakling Is in the same position as Is the stunted tree. The stouter tree and the taller reaches up and reaches down. With Its broad branches it absorbs all the sunlight overhead and makes the stunted tree live under Its shadow. With Its deep er and stronger roots the tall tree absorbs most of the nutriment out of the soil. Thus, If a man is not able to slsnd the physical strain and do as much work as his stouter and broader chested brothers, he falls, another takes Ids place, and the world marches on. The physical weakling Inevitably Is either trampled underfoot or an other pushes him out of his position In the line of the advancing human army of progresi Survlvnl of the Fltteat. If you do not believe In the physical survival of the fittest, sound the chests of some of our successful men. When the great Henry Ward Beecher for the first time entered the office of Dr. Orson Fowler, the phrenologist ex claimed to his partner, “My, what a fine animal!” Mr. Beecher was a fine animal. As yo\i look upon the picture of that magnificent head you are not surprised ( to hear that young Henry Ward Beecher was the finest football kicker of his class In Amherst college. But as I look upon a long row of pic tures of the worldjs most eminent min isters of the past generation I find that almost without exception they were all good animals. It Is almost an impos sibility for any man to stand in the front rank of the ministry today with out being a physical athlete. Rev. Robert Collyer, the poetic preacher of New York, graduated from the black smith’s forge, but many ministers farmers rose up in protest, who are preaching in our large cities today could easily step from the pulpit to the blacksmith forge and strike a herculean bV>\v, so great is their p* 1 vs- ical as well as mental stamina. I enter the law offices of the late Sen ator William M Evarts. “M Choate,” i say, “why did your part! ; ike the wonderful success he did: For years he stood at the head of the New York bar.” Oiw late ambassador to Eng land answers: “Because Mr. Evarts w*s a good animal. He could sit down at his desk and work on a case day In and day out for eighteen hours out of every twenty-four. He had mental equipment, and he had also ui llmite.l physical resources.” William M. Evarts was able to succeed when others failed because his backbone was strong as if made of steel. What is/true of the lawyer and minister Is also true of the physician, the Inventor and the mer chant. The reason one class of men falls and the other succeeds Is often due not more to great mental strength than to physical stamina. “The survival of the fittest.” Oh. yes. we find it in the law of physical equip ment. Young men. young women, in this struggle of life are you going to allow yourselves to be trampled under foot merely because you do not look after your physical health? Are you going to let the great opportunities of life slip from your grasp merely be cause you have not taken the proper physical exercise and food and sleep for your lungs and heart and stomach? “Oh," said William T. Sherman to General Grant one day, “1 feel Just us able to carry on another war as I did twenty years ago.” “You may feel so. Sherman,” answered General Grant. •but feeling so does not make you able. We may be mentally as bright as we ever were, hut we could not stand the physical strain.” The civil war was fought and won Just as much by Grant’s stomach as by Grant’s brain. Young people, by the law of the surviv al of the fittest God bids you take care >f yourselves physically. This is a tru ism, but it is a truism the Darwinian teachings, as well as the divine com mandments, never tire of pressing home to human hearts. I see the broad, stout chested farmer’s boy coming to the town and pushing the pule faced physical weaklings to right and left. Ciiris!Kin Co 111111 nlftlii. I would also tdl you that there is an inexorable law of the survival of the fittest in the mental world. The n an , who can think the quickest, the man , who can supply some long felt want in j the community, i- the man who is going o crowd his competitors to the wall, and there i no help for it. The same law which makes it possible for a cat to pounce upon a little chicken or a leopard to leap upon the hack of a fawn is precisely the same law whiJi makes it possible for the man of brains lo climb to his throne over the backs of men who have no brains. Communism says; “That Is not right. No one man should have more than his fellows.” But communism may talk from now until doomsday. Talking will do no good. There is u universal law of the .survival of the fittest in a mental way, and no communism except the com munism of Christian love can change It. How D tins law working out—that brains which think trample over brains which do not think V Why, you can see its results on every hand. Thirty or forty years ago every little town had its cobbler. This cobbler not only re paired the shoes and boots, but also made the shoes and hoots, but one day there came along a man with brains. He said to himself: “What is the use of all these cobblers making their hoots by hand? 1 will make machinery do the work of flesh and blood.” This man of brains went to work. He built a large factory. He employed 200 hands. He made these 200 hands, with the use of machinery, do live times the work which the same number of hands used to do. Ho also lowered the sell ing prices. The shot's and hoots were sold one-third cheaper than they used to he. The man of brains who drove out the village cobbler was the same kind of man that drove out the village wheelwright. The man of brains who drove away the village cobbler is also the kind of man of brains who took away the business of the typesetter. One day this man of brains walked into the printing otllce and said: “Here, editor, Is u typesetting machine. In stead of employing twenty, thirty, fifty men to sot your type, all that you will have to do Is to have a man sit down at this machine, as a Paderewski sits down at the piano. He can play the keys for awhile and the whole work Is done.” “But.” cry the village cobblers and the village wheelwrights and the old typesetters, “you have taken away our life’s wo.k. We cannot do aught but follow the Ime nf work we used to do. We shall starve. We shall die." But tho,inexorable law of the survival of the fittest means that these ma chines shall exi t and that the man of thinking brains shall triumph over the man whose brains never think. Gettinir Sidetracked. The fittest survive In the mental realm. There Is no doubt about it. Now, my friends, and especially ni> - young friends, what are you going to do about this fact? Are you going to let your brains lie dormant? Because some have been cobblers for twenty years, are you still to he a cobbler now? Are you mentally going to try to do the work of the present century in the way our forefathers did things an 1 not by the present up to date methods? Are you going to resist the advancements of the thills In the way ..ome nearsighted Pennsylvania fann ers did many years ago? 1 may not l»e giving these facts exactly right, but the story I am telling is substan tially true. One of the prominent rail roads of the east was extending Us lilies toward Pittsburg. The railroad oliicials wanted to run their iron rails through a certain township. The They said: “If we allow tills railroad to be built it will do all the hauling. Our farms | will be broken up, aud our horses will be useless, because then there will he nothing left for them to carry to mar ket.” These farmers not only protest ed thus, but in the state legislative halls at Harrisburg, through their rep- n sentatlve, they defeated that railroad from runniug through their township. Tin* result was that that railroad going into Pittsburg took another course. The old farmers’ township is now sidetracked. It is noth' ig hut a simple country town. On 1 te other hand, the valley through which that railroad now runs Is prosperous and wealthy. Land has doubled and tivbled in value. There is an Inevita ble law of the survival of the fittest in brains. How are you grasping your opportunities? Are you trying,to make the world travel in stagecoaches and canal boats when the shrieking whistle of the Overland Limited is calling its passengers to got aboard? If you do not develop your hraius. then, by the law of man aud the law of God, to the wall you must go. “The survival of the fittest” is the mental demonstration of life. Never let that one truth out of your miud until you have developed your intellect to Its highest possibilities. But the fittest survive In the moral world as well as In the physical and ihe mental. The man who Is honest and true and noble will always, in the long run, win over the man who Is de ceitful and dishonest. There is abso lutely no doubt about it. All other things being equal, there is a survival of the fittest in the moral realm. Yet to hear some people talk you would suppose that it never pays to be hon est or truthful in business life. "Sell where you can sell the dearest. Buy where you can buy the cheapest. Get all of the money out of the people you can without landing lu Jail,” is their motto. "Look at P. T. Burnum’s success,” they say. “In oue of his books the great showman says, ‘The American people love to be hum bugged.’ ” Then lie had the unlimited impudence to write a book entitled “The Humbugs of the World.” In that book he showed how he had humbugged the American people. “Oh, yes,” they say, “it never pays to be honest. The man who can cheat and deceive and lie and steal the most in business is the man who makes the greatest suc cess in mercantile life.” Is that your opinion of mercantile life? Well, m\ friend, I want to tell you that you are wrong, and wrong in toto. There is a survival of tin fittest In the moral world. All other things being equal, the man who is true and honest and upright and just is the man who will win in business life, and not the scoun drel. Fair lleiillnu:. The merchant who is successful In the true sense of the word is not the man who cheats his customers, hut the man who will give his customers more for ;heir money than any one else will give. A great merchant builds up his business by winning the confidence and the respect of u community, not by Helling them shoddy goods. The story is told that many years ago a new trader went out to live among the In dians. No sooner had he lauded aud opened his store than the Indian chief ciime to him and bought some goods. The ehief said, “I pay you tomorrow.” The next day the Indian chief returned w ith many members of his tribe. Then he commenced to pay the trader for his goods. He gave him oue otter •-Kin, then another skin, then another skin and then another skin until he had given to him four skins. The goods were worth Just about four skins. Then the chief drew out a bejiu- tlful otter skin and offered it also. He offered this fifth skin to test the trad er’s honesty. "Chief,” said the trader, "I do not want Unit fifth skin. You have paid me enough.” The Indian chief said: “No, no. White man, take this skin also.” Again and again the white trader refused. “No, chief,” said he, “you have paid me enough. I do not want any more.” With that the Indian chief gave a grunt of satisfac tion. He turned to his warriors and said: "Come, trade with paleface. He honest man.” Then turning to the white trader he said: “Paleface, sup pose you take that last skin, Indian no trade with you. Then me know you dishonest white man.’’ Ah, yes, the old Indian trader knew the law of the sur vival of the fittest in the business world. The way the great merchant builds up his true business success Is not by cheating his customers, but by always being honest, always true and always trying to give his customers more for their money than they can get In any other store. As there Is a survival of the fittest in the physical aud mental and mom! realms, so there is also a survival if the spiritual realm. Charles Darwin never meant to apply this sentence to the spiritual world, but God does. God emphatically does this in the words of my text. How does the first psalm of David read? flic godly "shall he like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brtugeth forth Its fruit In ilr< sea son. IDs leaf also shall not wither. and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. • • * But the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Yes, there Is the law of the survival of the fittest In the spir itual world. If we are oue with Christ, we shall grow aud keep on growing ail through the eternities. We shall bear fruit millennium after millennium. If we are not one with Christ, we shall become "like <110 chaff which the wind diiveth away.” The whirlwinds of the Judgment day shall sweep us away to our eternal doom. “But,” says one, “how could a man like Charles Darwin grasp a great truth like this of the natural world and yet not grasp it In the spiritual? How could he find God’s footprints in na ture and yet not find God’s footsteps on Calvary’s rocks?” Ah, my friends. I cannot account for that. I cannot and dare not pass Judgment on Charles Darwin’s life. I esmnot understand how this great student of nature could turn his back upon God any more than I can understand how he who was once such a lover of the beautiful could so warp his mind that the poets like Shakespeare and the musicians like Handel and Beethoven and Wagner could not touch his heart. In his own words I read the follow ing: "I have said that in one respect my mind has changed during the la t twenty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds, such us the works of Milton, Gray, Byron, Wordsworth, Coleridge an ! Shelley, gave me groat pleasure, and even ns a sehoolboy^I took ^Intense de light in Shakespeare, especially in the historical plays. I have also said that formerly pictures gave me consider able pleasure and music very great de light. But now, for many years, I can not endure to read u line of poetry. 1 have tried lately to read Shakespeare and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated nn*. I have also lost my taste for music and pictures. I retain some taste for fine scenery, but it does not cause me the exquisite delight which it formerly did." In other words. Thousandsof Women ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG Suooest of Lydia E. PinkhanTt Vegetable Compound Reata Upon the Fact that It Really Doea Make Sick Womea Well Thousands upon thousands of Ameri can women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegeta ble Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham’s office, and prove this statement to be a fact and not a mere boast. Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it all other medicines and treat ment for women are experiments. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound accomplished its wide spread results for good ? Why has it lived and thrived and done its glorious work for a quarter of a century ? Simply and surely because of its ster ling worth. The reason no other med icine has even approached its success is plainly and nositively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's ills. The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not be cause it is a stimulant—not because it is a palli itive, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the uterine system, positively curing disease and displacements and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians 1 who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Com- ! pound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by I experience that it will effect a cure. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, Charles Darwin became such a close bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhoea. student In one line of study that he nl , falling, inflammation or ulceration of lowed his love for the beautiful In art: the uterus, ovarian troubles, that and nature and his love for God to he- i ‘bearing-down feeling, dizziness, come atrophied. Parts of his brain were mightily alive. Some parts were completely dead. Develop Tlironsh Chrlat. Let me read on a little further: “My mind seems to have become u kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts, hut why this should have caused the atrophy of that part of the brain alone on which the higher tastes depend I cannot con ceive. A man with a mind more high ly organized or better constituted than mine would not, I suppose, have thus suffered, and if I had to live my life again I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week, for per haps the parts of my brain now atro phied would thus have been kept active through use. The loss of these tastes Is a loss of happiness and may possibly he injurious to the intellect and more probably to the moral character by en feebling the emotional part of our na ture.” Do you wonder that Darwin, who wrote such sentences as these, could let the .spiritual part of his life become atrophied as well as the aes thetic and the love for ihe beautiful? And so, young people as well as older people, as you develop along physical and moral lines I want you to develop along the line of the spiritual. I want you to develop in Christ and through Christ, who Is the highest model for all spiritual development. “But,” says < ome one, “I have never tried to develop myself In and through Christ.” Then, my brother, Is that any reason why you should not start now? When nn enemy one day taunted the great preacher Esprit Fleclder be cause of Ids humble birth and because he had begun life as a tallow chandler. Dr. Flechler replied, “Yes, my sphere In life used to ho very bumble, but hi all probability had you begun life as I began It you would have been a candle maker all your life." Because some of us are warped spiritually is that any reason why, In Christ, we cannot become “like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth Its fruit in Its season?” Oh, my friends. In Christ and through Christ, will you not spiritually start anew? Then, by law of the survival of the fittest with God, you shall prosper and live for ever and ever. Will you not, here and now, become one with Christ for tin* highest of all development?
