Hearts
Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine of eyery
•one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple Indiges
tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of Indi
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the
heart. This Interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada. O , says: I had stomach
trouble and was in a bad state as I had heart trouble
with it. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four
months and It cured me.

Los Angeles, Cal.. Jan. 7.—Appro-
|>riate for the new year as the season
for good resolutions and “turning over
a new leaf’ is ibis .sermon, the text for
which is taken from Acts xvil, 30, “And
the times of this ignorance God winked
at.”
What a tremor of excitement must
have stirred the minds and the hearts
of his men when Horatio Nelson, the
celebrated English admiral, gave the
order to clear the gun deck for action
at Trafalgar! Ah, yes, we can truly
say the one armed naval hero whose
body now sleeps in St. Paul’s cathedral
by the side of the Waterloo chieftain
was no novice in the art of war. Way
back in the uprising of the American
colonies he fought as a young captain
of twenty-one under Lord Howe. He
was In the midst of the British strug
gles off Cape Vincent In 1708. lie was
the commander who destroyed the
French fieet in the harbor of Aboukir
when Napoleon was making his Egyp-
tion conquests. Ho was part of the
naval history of England from 1770 up
to the time of his tragic death, but all
his previous engagements were mere
preparation for his great battle of Traf
algar. Then he gripped Napoleon’s
admiral--Villenenve by name—and
grimly said, “Thou shalt not make it
p ^ssilde for the conquerors of Prussia
a’d Spain and Austria and Italy and
1! Hand and Westphalia to cross the
cl.annel and fight under the shadow of
W' -nminster abbey and Windsor cas
tle." Truly that Trafalgar order, “Eng
land i vj ects every man to dohisduty.”
must ! :;ve aroused the heroic in every
British irt. for Trafalgar was the su
preme m le of Horatio Nelson’s life.
What C ■ quarter deck of the British
line of ba: '<• ship Victory was to Nel-j
son at Tra. ;!gar Mars bill was to the;
great gospel warrior Paul. Like Nel- ;
son. Paul w’s no novice. He bad
fought in many a conflict for Christ.
He was a sewed veteran of many
gospel campaigns. In Damascus, at
Jerusalem, over in Corinth, in Ephesus,
we can follow his martial footsteps.
But though he had fought many bat
tles for Christ the supreme battle of
Paul’s life was witnessed at Mars hill.
“No moment in the annals of the
church,” wrote the historian, “has
larger significance than that in which
the gospel of the living Christ came in
Its first contact at Athens with the
worn faiths of paganism, its philosophy
and its science.” Here It was that
Paul not only had to grapple with
Plato’s philosophy and with the teach
ings of the Stoics and the Epicureans,
but here also he had to preach Christ
lu the home of the drama and preach
Jesus from the rostrum made memora
ble by the orations of the greatest ora
tors of the past, whose silver tongues
had created armies and made laws and
started forth Greece on its conquest of
the world.
When Paul looked up and waved his
hand above him he saw the famous
Acropolis crowned with its many tem
ples. There is the Parthenon with its
beautiful statue of Pallas, the guard
ian goddess of Athens, which city was
the home of Demosthenes and Lysias
and Lycurgus and Aeschines, the ora
tors, and of Aeschylus and Sophocles, i
the dramatists, and of Thucydides and i
Xenophon, the historians, and of Solon,
the lawyer, and of Socrates, the teach
er, and of Pericles, the poet, and of
Phidias, the Michael Angelo of the
Greeks. To the right of this famous
temple was the marvelous colossal
statue of Athanae Promachus. And
there is a beauiiful poem in marble
called ‘"The Temple of Wingless Vic
tory.” Every column, every shrine, ev
ery intricate covering of that citadel
of ancient Athens was chiseled by the
hand of a master. John Keats once
wrote:
Beauty is truth, truth beauty; that la all j
Ye know on eartli and all ye need to know.
If that is true, then truth was every-1
where Intrenched on the heights over
topping Mars hill. For beauty in her
most exquisite proportions was there
in imperishable marble.
Kot Preaching to Savage*.
When i’aul ceased to look up aud as
a student of the beautiful looked down
his eyes in amazement wandered over
the massive proportions of the great
temple of Jupiter Olympus, which was
one of the seven wonders of the world.
The few huge columns of this mighty
temple still standing inspire more awe
In the minds of the modern students
than do even the gigantic stones of the
pyramids or the ruined foundations of
■the ancient statue of the god Helios
once bestriding the harbor of Rhodes.
There was also the beautiful temple of
the Theseium, perhaps the most per
fectly preserved temple of all the an
cients. And there before him was the
gigantic temple of Mars, the god of
war. Paul was not preaching Christ
among a set of ignorant savages. He
was preaching Christ to the greatest
students of architecture, of sculpture,
of poetry and of oratory the world baa
ever seen. Wherever Paul’s eyes turn
ed he could sec the beautiful statues
and shrines erected not only to scores
but to hundreds and thousands of Gre
cian goda and goddesses. The city was
literally full of beautiful Idols of all
sorts. “It was easier to find there a
god than It was a man,” Petronlus
once quaintly said. Yet It was on
Mars bill that Paul dared to defy all
the faiths and the intellectualities of
paganism.
How did be do ttf After presenting
Christ as only Paul could preach Jesus
he lifted up his hands and waved them
toward the countless shrines aud wick
ed deities of Athens. Then he uttered
the memorable words of my text, “Aud
the times of this ignorance God winked
at, but uow commandeth all men
everywhere to repent.” As God bore
with the Ignorance of the Greeks of
old God has been bearing with our ig
norance, but now our eyes are opened
as were those of the Athenians. Now
It is time for us to repent of our past
sins and surrender our hearts to Jesus
Christ. Could we have a better time
to do this than on this first Lord’s day
of the new year? As the year 1905 has
slipped into the year 1900 we seem
to be in almost as dramatic a position
as were the Athenians when listening
to the preaching of the mighty Paul.
God in the first place has borne with 1
our ignorance theological. He has been
dealing with our creeds u great deal as
he has been dealing with the shrines
of the Athenian worshipers. To use
a homely figure, he has been shutting
his eyes to our superstitions as a moth
er sometimes pretends not to see the
wrongdoings of her little child, because
she docs not think It best to correct the
boy now. Man in the past has been
holding the Baptist creed and the Epis-!
copal creed and the Methodist creed j
aud the Presbyterian creed and the 1
Lutheran creed and the Catholic creed |
sometimes with as little intelligence as
did the Athenians worshiping at the
altars of a Mercury, an Apollo, a Ju- ^
piter. a Juno and a Hephaestus, but
now men are beginning to realize that
while it is important to adhere faith
fully to the creeds of their respective
churches the supreme necessity is that
they give their loyal worship to the
Holy Trinity, of whom God is the Fa
ther and Jesus Christ the elder brother
and the holy spirit is the paraclete. 1
And yet, my friends, there was a time ,
when Christian people built their sec
tarian fences so high that Ihey could
not see any good in any church unless
that church belonged to their own
household of faith.
No sooner did John Wesley come into
touch with the Moravians and get a
broader conception of Christ than had
the Episcopalians than at once the
chancel of the Church of England was
closed against him. To the Episco- j
palian he became a spiritual outcast. I
No sooner did John Runyan attempt to
start forth as a nonconformist preach
er than at once he had to surrender his
pulpit for Bedford jail. No sooner did
Albert Barnes, like St. John, get a
broader vision of heaven than had his
ministerial brethren than he was de
prived of his Presbyterian orders, and
the greatest Bible teacher and com
mentator of his generation had to sit in
the pew of the First Presbyterian
church of Philadelphia as a worshiper
Instead of standing in the pulpit as a
preacher. All the persecutions of the
dark ages were due to the worship of
sectarian creed. All the horrors of a
St. Bartholomew massacre and the
murderings of the Covenanters among
Scottish hills and the fiendish works
of a “Bloody Mackenzie” and of a
“Bloody Mary” were due to the wor
ship at a denominational altar instead
of the cross of Jesus Christ. ^ Oh, re
ligion, religion, what awful crimes
have been committed in thy name! The
demons of the darkest caverns aud the
most bestial of sins have drenched
their garments with human gore be
cause under the helmets of sectarian
ism they have been prompted to uu-
sheath the sword of bigotry. But now
all tilings are being (‘hanged. Paul re
revealed the “unknown God” to the
Athenians. Jesus Christ has revealed
God to us. Now our religious teachers
have become so broad that they are
ready to join all Protestant churches in
one great federation for rhristian work
as long as the one cardinal doctrine of
those churches is “Jesus Christ the Sav-!
lour, who has come to save man, a |
sinner.”
Christian Federation.
And, mark you, this revelation of!
Christ has not been gladly acclaimed
by the churches during the past centu
ries, but only within the last few years.
You must think of this church fellow
ship as a child of our youth and not
as a blessing of bygone generations. It
was as late as the life of Patrick Hen
ry, who died hi 1799. that the Baptist
ministers of old Virginia were called
upon to defend themselves In the crim
inal dock because they were charged
with “preaching tue gospel of the son
well as the sins of false creeds. Aud
when I speak thus I could roam over a
very wide territory if I would, for you
have uo more right to judge a man of
the fifteenth or sixteenth century by
tbe moral standards of the twentieth
century than you have a right to con
demn the Puritans because they exiled
Roger Williams from Massachusetts In
1035 or because, under the leadership
of Cotton Mather, they burned the sup
posed witches of Salem in 1091.
The AbollNlied Code of Honor.
It was only a few years ago that '
man's moral code of honor compelled
man to fight man in the duello. One of
the bravest acts of that brave man,
George D. Prentice, was exhibited not
in his willingness to fight a duel, but
in his being willing to defy public opiu-
iou aud refuse to fight one. When one
of the subscribers of his paper dial-!
lenged him, as Aaron Burr challenged
Alexander Hamilton, he wrote a letter
which ended thus: “It takes only one
fool to send a challenge, but two fools
to fight. lam not one of them.” And
again, to show to what a low state the |
mind of man was in reference to the i
savage customs of duelling during the |
last generation, M. de Girardin, the fa- i
ther of the present French statesman I
and author of that name, was one day
with a party of gentlemen admiring the
the factory or upon the plantation.
Hear it, ye capitalists. Ye are your
brothers’ keepers. Blood money can
stick to your bands ns well as to those
of Judas. A mark of God's condemna
tion for financial sins can ho upon your
brow as well as upon Cain's for kill
ing his brother with a club.
Not only are we our brother’s keeper
iu n financial or in n mercenary sense,
but also in a physical sense and In a
mental. Aye. we walk In wonderment
among the beautiful columns of Ath
ens. We can think of* the charioteers
driving their Hashing eyed chargers
over those hillsides. We cuu see the
runners, with the speed of the winds,
coming back to that copMul telling of
victories won. We can picture the al
tars of gold and silver. We can see the
palaces tilled with the richest art treas
ures and sec* die vast amounts of mon
eys squandered for tbe worship of the
god of wine called Dionysus. But right
under the shadow of the prison in
which Socrates was compelled to quaff
the poisonous hemlock ignorance aud
filth were everywhere. And when the
poor became sick they were not cared
for as we care for our sick; but they
were left aloue to starve and die. Or
they were driven out upon the moun
tain sides as the Hebrews drove their
lepers to the tombs of the dead, cry-
precision with which a friend was
ing: “The leper, the leper! Room for the
shooting at a target. “Yes,” said M. de
Girardin, “he shoots very well, but it Is
qu Ite a different thing to hit a man In
a duel from hitting a bit of pasteboard.
The most skillful marksman, who could
hit a coin at twenty-five paces, might
easily miss a man at the same dis
tance.” At once this gentleman chal-
leged M. de Girardin to a duel, claim
ing that he had called him a coward. |
The two men faced each other at twen
ty-five paces. The pistols were raised.
The gentleman shot at Do Girardin and
missed. M. de Girardin refused to fire, j
“Why do you not shoot?” called his
seconds. “For what should I shoot?
I have no bitterness against my friend, j
I wanted to prove to him that a good
marksman might miss his man at
twenty-five paces, and he has done so.
I am satisfied if my friend Is.” Yet
such was the foolish demands of the
duello that many a noble man had to
uselessly lay down his life on account
of such trivial remarks as M. de Girar
din made.
What was true of the duello was also
true of the gaining table and the drink
ing cup aud the lascivious habits of the
past generations. In olden times al- i
most all gentlemen were supposed to
gamble and get drunk and be licentious
If they so willed. The words of Paul,
“If meat make thy brother to offend I
will eat no meat while the world stand-
eth, lest I make my brother to offend,”
have a far different interpretation now
from that of a few years ago. No
one would dream of erecting a college
building now by a lottery, as one of the
first buildings was erected upon tbe
Princeton campus. No one would
dream of a party of ministers adjourn
ing from presbytery and then sitting
down to dinner, each with a glass of
liquor flanking his plate, as the minis
ters used to do. No one would dream
of our present president of the United
States playing a game of cards with
his minister, as George Washington
was accustomed to do with his Episco
palian rector. These men of the past
generations should not be judged by
our moral standards. Every year the
moral criterious of the human race are
lifted higher and higher. But, my
friends, wo know to day what we
ought to do in a moral sense. We
know whether dancing and drinking
and going to vile shows aud having
lewd conversations and playing games
of chance are depleting to our spiritual
life. It is no excuse for us to say we j
are excused from condemnation be
cause we live on the fashionable boule- {
vards. Where could be found more
beautiful palaces aud temples than in
old Athens? And where was the mor
al tone of a people lower than there?
Paul is speaking to us the same as he
spoke to the Athenians of old: “Re
pent! Repent! Except ye repent of
your moral sins ye shall all likewise
perish.”
Onr Brother*’ Keeper*.
But I find God bearing with the so
cial sins of our fathers, as well as their
theological and moral faults. I find
that he comes to us, as he did to Cain
of old, and says, “Thou art thy broth
er’s keeper.” And when God speaks
thus he means even more than when
Jver-Work Weakens

%
of God." You who are students of his- Christ spake the parable of the good
tory recall how the same eloquence
which fired the American colonists for
“liberty or death” roused the hearts of
his jurors when Patrick Henry pleaded
for the freedom of the Indicted Baptist
ministers. “My God.” he cried, “can It
be that any man should he charged as
a criminal for preaching the love of
Jesus Christ?” Then, again and again
he waved the indictment above him as
he said, “For preaching the love of
Jesus Christ.” But now, thank God, all
such criminal trials are past. God has
revealed himself to us theologically.
We know, and well know, that foreor-
dlnutlon or Arminlanism or belief In
apostolic suceeftsion is
for salvation. “Believe
Samaritan to the Jews as well as to
the Greeks. You cannot judge the
Greeks who assembled about Mars
hill to listen to the eloquent words of
Paul by our social laws any more
than you can Judge them by our theo
logical or moral criterious.
In the first place, you must remem
ber that tbe Greeks for generations
bad been a slaveholding people. You
remember how that matchless orator
of Massachusetts, Wendell Phillips,
tried to make tbe Haitian martyr,
Toussaint 1’Ouverture, the acme of all
virtues and human perfections. In his
peroration be used these words: “I
not essentia] would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon
on the Lord made his way to the empire over bro-
Jesus Christ and be saved,” was the, ken oaths and through a sea of blood,
slogan of Paul and is the slogan of the < I would call him Cromwell, but Crom-
modern Christian pulpits. Sectarian in
tolerance Is being rapidly demolished.
We might have clung to our sectarian
ism In tbe past as tbe Athenians clang
to their altars of gold and silver and
Biarble before Paul appeared. But we
cannot, we dare not do so now. There
Is but one true altar, aud that ia tbe 1
altar of Jesus Christ “And tbe times
of this ignorance God winked at, but
now commandeth all men everywhere
to repent.” Repent! Repent! Repent in
Christ’s name or ye shall all likewise
perish.
But God has borne with our moral
Ignorance as well as our theological in
tolerance. He has been overlooking for
generations the sins of the flesh which
men have unconsciously committed aa
well was only a soldier, and the com
monwealth he founded went down
with him into his grave. I would call
him Washington, but the great Vir
ginian held slaves.” Ob, Wendell Phil
lips, is that right? Ia that honest? Is
that fair? Had Toussaint I’Ouverture
grown up on the banks of the Potomac
with a white skin, wonld he have done
any differently from our Washington
or our Jefferson, both of whom held
slaves? For centuries the law of con
quest In olden times meant enslave
ment You should Judge the Greeks by
the standard of their time, but not by
ours, ^od has declared that we have
another duty to our brothers than to
put the yoke of bitterness about their
becks and make them sweat blood in
leper! Room! Room!” Ah, yes, the
Greeks in a social sense had a duty to
ward their poor fellow men. Have we
not as great if not a greater duty?
“Thou art thy brother’s keeper.” Thou
art his keeper in a financial way—yon
must give him work; in a mental way—
you must build for him schools; in a
physical way—you must care for him
when he is sick and helpless. Are you
doing it? “And the tiou?s of this igno
rance God winkl'd at, but now com
mandeth all men everywhere to re
pent”
But God has borne with our past mis
sionary ignorance as well as our past
social ignorance. We have a duty to
fulfill in reference to the kind of homes
iu which our brethren sleep and eat.
We must see that they have the right
kind of schools in which to he taught.
But above all we must see that they
are made acquainted with the gospel of
Christ and the mercy of the true God.
And yet some people who are members
of Christian churches profess to believe
that they are not responsible for the
kind of God their heathen brethren
worship. By their actions they practi
cally say: •■Chri-t did not mean any
thing when he id, ‘Go ye therefore
and teach all nations, baptizing them
In the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Ghost.’ But he does
mean for us simply to go and teach our
friends and our own families and our
own kith and kin.”
Ah, my brother, when a man is indif
ferent to the missionary effort to
preach Christ unto all men and send
Christ’s missionaries into the farther
most parts of the earth he resembles
In his religious selfishness the sultan
of Turkey. Tourists who have been to
Constantinople tell us that the “sick
man of Europe” is living in dally ter
ror of his life. His bloody hand has
been against all bis enemies. Murder ,
and rapine have gone wherever his rule
has gone. He dethroned his elder
brother and shut him up in prison for
many years. lie is said to have slain
two of his nearest relatives, either one
of whom would have become sultan
had he died. He has killed scores and
hundreds and thousands of his subjects
in the hope that their deaths might
make his life more assured, and yet
there he trembles iu his palace, year In
and year out, afraid of his foreign foes
and fearful of his enemies, skulking
within his own capital.
The Saltan'* Fear*.
But once a week the sultan, even in
spite of his own fears, goes regularly
to the mosque to prayer. He goes there
with oue motive—to insure his own sal
vation. It is of himself, Bis eternal safe
ty, that he thinks and not cf the wel
fare of his people. Can it be possible
that any Christian resembles him in
this? Are there Christians whose sole
desire in worship is their own salvation
and who care nothing for others?
The broader conceptions of the gos
pel never seem to enter their lives.
That because Christ is their Saviour
they should try to present him to those
who know him not, ah, this indeed has
never been the purpose of their hearts.
Now, all tills narrow conception of
Christianity must stop. We must be
eyes to the blind and ears to the deaf
and crutches to the lame and food for
the hungry. But we must be more
than that—we must be the means,
through the missionaries, of bringing
Christ to a dying world.
Thus in closing I would point you
to Mars hill, the most glorious pulpit
in the world with the exception of
Calvary. And then I would point out
for your exemplar the mightiest gos
pel preacher of all times with the ex
ception of Jesus Christ himself. And
I would tell you that Paul did not go
to Athens to preach Christ He was
worn out with work. He was resting
there for Silas and Timotheus to come
to him. But while he rested he saw
tbe Athenians in sin. Then he could
not rest any longer. The Bible says,
“His spirit was stirred in him when
he saw the city wholly given to Idol
atry.” Therefore he went forth to tell
the Athenians about bis Christ Ah,
my friends, in our modern Athens of
America will your hearts burn within
you as Paul’s burned within him when
he saw the wickednesses of mankind?
Will you here and now promise not to
rest this side of the grave until you
have told as many people as yon can
about the Jesus who alone can save
them from their sins? May every hour
of every day of the coming year find
you proclaiming the gospel tidings
from some Mars hjll until at last you
stand before the throne of heaven,
where Christ shall reveal himself to
all his redeemed ones face to face.
