get rid of the ••skeleton in the closet,”
to o crcome the hidden trouble, the mi-
repent'd fault, is the subjeet of the
sen cm today, the text ehosen being
Psalm x<\ S. ‘•Our secret sins in th"
light of thy countenance."
Most men are horn cowards. They
won* as babies rocked in the eranl.* of
fear. As hoys they always by nigh’
ilislilfed to travel the road which leads
to the tiridge over which Tain o' Shan
ter was chased by the hobgoblins. "Of
corrse we do not believe in ghosts*,"
once said a great English evangelist,
‘•but ino-i of us feel squeamish when,
alone, wo have to walk past a . il< nt
country graveyard in the dark hours
about midnight. And mosi ot us arc
afraid of the valley of the shadow of
death when, like the psalmist of old.
we look at it in the eh.! vista of ihe
future, although, like him, we know it
is nothing but a bl.u k shadow." Of
< >urse there may he men horn, lik*-
Horatio Nelson, who never know wh::•
the name of fear means. But if sin h
men exist they are very few and 1.
between. They are almost as scare'
lover tops growing in a .Innuary
*.iia b ik or as diamonds imbedded
iii ■ . of copper ore.
T. n. tubers of the human race do
net dweil all the time in the Pity o.
Pour. They nearly all live to' a
little while, tit least once a year, in the
Pity ot fimidity. They more often

the Black Plague on the same road, but
now returning from Bagdad and going
home. ••Why.” said this traveler, "did
yon not do as you said you intended
to do? You said you were going to
Bagdad to kill ."i.OOO people. From tin*
awl til reports I hear coming from that
doomed region you have killed
people instead of .l/Hto.” “Ah.” an
sv. red the Black Plague, with a glee
ful. fiendish grin, "1 have kept my
word. I killed only o.OOO people on
aeeotint of my fatal touch, but tl. •
oth r 4r»,000 people who also died per
ish, .1 of fear. They killed themselves
I had nothing to do with it.” Yes. til ■
old legend is right. A great many
plagues stalk through this land, de
stroyiag their victims everywhere, but
tine dead that lie in their tracks arc not
all slain by those swinging scythes.
Most people are born natural cowards
More people die from fear than ever
die from the ravages of disease.

'I'iiis assumption is almost a self evi
dent fact or an axiom. .Now. as most
of us are cowards in more ways than

in litis world is the fear of future pun

are afraid to do it for fear tin* uewspu

and the whole scandal will be pub

sinner not l>e brought to judgment then
where there are now two sins there
would be twenty and where men err
once now they might do wrong ten
times over. That means, of course, if
our sins would Clever he brought to
trial.
Now, as 1 was thinking along tub
line the other day my eyes were scan
niag the Nineteenth Psalm of David
Suddenly my attention was attracted
to these words: "Our secret sins in the
light of thy countenance.” "What,” 1
said to myself—"can It Is* that there
are sius so secret, so completely hid
den, that our imed intimate friends do
not know of them, sins that God knows
and sees and that our consciences
convict us ofi” I do not now refer to
the open sins, the faults that the world
fakes Mote of. hut are there not others
hidden away hi the inmost recesses of
the heart that will one day Ik; set In
the penetrating light of God's counte
nance? Let us examine ourselves this
morning as in God’s presence.
Let me, in the first place, speak about
the sin of robbing God of those hours
of sacred devotion In which we should
hold secret communion with him, those
hours of secret prayer and Bible read
ing which are so essential for our own
spiritual life. You know that In that
discourse on prayer In which our Lord
describes that exercise he commands
us to pray In secret as well as to pray
openly. In Matthew we read. “When
thou prayest enter Into thy closet, and
when thou hast shut thy door pray to
thy Father who Is in secret, and thy
Father who Is in secret shall reward
ties* openly.” But, though God com
mauds us to have our secret hours of
boly comm onion .with him and though
the Christian world thinks that we. as
professing Christiana, have those sa
cred hours, yet how often do we steal
away from God those hours which
should be devoted to him. In other
words,, wo want to try to do spiritual
work and win spiritual conquests with
out first making the necessary spiritual
preparation for our own souls.
Want n Short Cat.
We are in exactly the same position
In a spiritual sense as is the young
man In a temporal sense who wishes
to leave the well beaten paths of work
and take a short cut up the mountain
of fame. Here, for instance, is the
young man. He wlsucs to be a lawyer.
He goes to an old lawyer and says:
“Judg*. 1 would like to be a lawyer.
What shall I do?” “What do you know,
my boy?” is tin* natural question.
“Oh,” says the young man, ”1 have
only been to school a few years and
studied tin? common branches.”
“Then,” says the old lawyer, “what I
would do is to go back to school.
Study, study, s.udy! Fit yourself for
college. Then go through the law
school. Sharpen your weapons first be
fore you go into battle.” ••Unnecessa
ry,” answers the young man. “What
is the good of spending the next ten
years of my life in rummaging through
musty tomes? I do not care what tin*
Roman law was. What I wish to know
is what .a ;'.<• law of today.” So the
young man refuses to sit at the feet of
the wise Gamaliels of the great law
schools. He goes at onec into a law of
fice. 1 it
along, and in a couple of years, an un
developed boy. or, rather, an immature
man. he is admitted to the bar. lie is
like a cripple with two wooden crutch
es anti one good leg trying to win a
race in the Olympian games against
the finest athletes of all Greece. He is
like an oid Chhiese junk, with its long
banks of oars and antiquated javelins,
going forth to naval conflict with the
armor plated cruisers of the modern
navy. Tims with us. We want to do
God’s work. We desire to win God’s
victories. But we are not willing to
make oar necessary spiritual prepara
tion'- f >r the same. We are not willing
to do what God commands us to do.
Ue arc ml willing to legularly and
systematically bold certain hours of
each day sacred for prayer and for se
cret communion with God.
(;<*( Their Money’* Worth.
Sometimes it is religions work itself
that monopolizes tin* time. I remem
ber a dear classmate of mine who as a
theological student was asked to preach
in a little church near to where I used
to preach us a student. This church
was not able to support a regular pas
tor. It was way back in the country.
So when it got a man to preach tor a
Sunday it worked him as hard as some
people drive a horse which they hire
from the livery stable for a day. They i
wanted to get the full worth of their
money. Thus they got this young man
up early to lead the Sunday school and
teach a Bible class. Then he conduct
ed a morning service; then after a hur
ried dinner they drove him back into
the mountains, where he had another
Sunday school to lead and another ser
mou to preach and a Christian Endeav
or society to address; then they ran
him back to the main church again,
when* he had a Voting People's society
meeting at which to speak and then
another sermon to preach. In other
words, from early morning until 10
o’clock at night he was speaking or
working all the time. 1 met him next
day and said, "Well, Howard, how did
you get on?” “Get on.” he answered.
“Why. I had >o much to do that when
I crawled into l»*d that night I was
completely fagged out. I was so tired
that I couhl not even say my prayers.
I just said. ‘O Lord. I have been pray
!ng so much for other people that I
am just too tired to pray for myself!’ ”
I laughed. But for years and years
that picture of that tired boy has al
ways been before me. Alt, I say to
myself, how often we get so tired with
meet’Ug the many engagements of life
that we do not take the needed hours
for prayer, for Bible reading and for
communion with God for our own
souls;
But. though you and I may have
many engagements, have we any en
gagemeitts so important that we can
afford to neglect tin* sacred hours we
ought to take every day <»f our life for
seent communion with Christ? You
know that many and many a literary
man's usefulness ha** b»*en destroyed
because by the flattery or the success
of the world he has boon enticed away
from his study. What is true of the
literary man is absolutely true of the
Christian. Many a Christian’s spiritual
usefulness has been absolutely destroy
ed because that Christian has been en
ticed away from the sacred hours of
holy communion with f'brist. No mat
ter how early the march was to take
place for the rescue of I. tick now. Gen
era! Havelock always arose two hours
earlier to read his Bible and kneel In
prayer. No matter how hard the con
flict was raging. Martin Luther always
took at least two hours away from the
world each day to pour out his soul to
God in prayer. Tel! me. O man. what
art thou doing with those sacred hours
which Jesus Christ bids you give to
him alone? The world does not know
what you are doing with those hours,
but Christ knows. Are you neglecting
your proper spiritual preparation for
Christian work? Are you taking the
proper spiritual nourishment for your
own soul? Then, if you are not doing
this. In the sight of God you are com
mitting a secret sin. You may hide
that sin from the world, hut you can
never hide It from Christ.
The llepopulmr Side.
Next to our neglect of secret prayer
and quiet Bible readiug I believe our
greatest secret sin Is our unwillingness
to bravely and firmly go forth to advo
cate the causes of right which are on
the unpopular side. We see blatant
•Ina stalking around everywhere, but
becaoae those sins are well dressed or
the perpetrators of those slas are In
fluential men and women In the com
munity in which we live we close our
mouths and say nothing. We are
afraid to antagonize them and those
men and women who are their |K»w»*r-
ful supporters.
The man who dares to attack sin
that is strongly Intrenched is liable to
be assailed in character ami person.
His friends come to hint and say: “Let
It alone. You will make enemies who
can ruin you.” Have you never had
such advice given to you? if you have
not you have been all your life a •‘trim
mer,” a hedger, a politic man. You
have not come forth boldly and de
cisively and attacked wrong wherever
you have seen it lift its hideous head.
In other words, you can he classed
among those moral cowards whom
James Russell Lowell excoriated when
he said:
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing and abuse
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think.
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
Are Ion Honest f
The world looks upon you as an hon
est man. Are you honest? 1 mean, in
the higher sense of Die word, are you
honest with yourself? The city in
which’ you live is In a death grapple
with the saloon or, as is Los Angeles,
with an infamous gambling corpora
tion. Dare you lift up your voice in
is coached along and stumbles protest? "Oh, no, you answer; "if 1
did those men would boycott me, and
they are my customers. They buy lots
of goods at my store.” In your silence
are you not before God committing a
secret sin? For years and years in our
northern states there were hundreds
upon hundreds of ministers who were
afraid to speak upon the slavery ques
tion, because if they did they knew
they would split their congregations in
twain. When my father as a young
man was culled to the city of Bhiladel-
phia just I to fore the war the padlock of
silence was upon many ministers’ lips.
After my father had been there a few
weeks he preached an abolition sermon.
That afternoon thirty of his most prom
inent families took their hymn hooks
out of their racss and walked out of
the church and never came hack. Tell
me, are you ready like that to attack
sin wherever you see it? Are you ready
to denounce sin in high places or in
low? Are you ready to defy the siu of
your friends as well as the sin of your
enemies, or are you going to be num
bered among the “trimmers.” the hedg
ers, the politic men, who dare not be
"in the right with two or three?” If
you do Dttis, the world may say you
are honest, hut in the sight of God you
are guilty of a black, heinous secret
sin. You are guilty of the sin of cow
ardice, the sin of not being an out and
out disciple of Jesus Christ.
But wo must not stop here. In this
catalogue of secret sins we must name
the malformed offspring of our minds
called “evil thoughts." By this name I
do not mean those “evil thoughts”
not know we are casting lustful eyes
upon their possessions, hot God knows,
and God will condemn us unless we
cease to practice this infamy.
A Com pin t n I n k Woman.
But the second secret sin is like the
first. The same evil characteristic
which makes a person wander around
the streets saying. “I wish I could
have my neighbor’s house, my neigh
bor's wife, my neighbor’s manservant
and his maidservant,” is the same evil
characteristic which makes a person
ignore the calls for help which arc be
ing spoken to him on every hand.
Therefore, though the hands for succor
ire being stretched forth toward these
people, they act as did the priest and
the Levlte when they saw Dio poor
bleeding traveler of the good Samari
tan parable. They pass by on the oth
er side and do nothing. Now, some
people do not believe this assertion is
true, but it is, nevertheless. Let me
illustrate it. Some time ago I knew a
young married woman who had ev
erything In the world to make life hap
py except her own discontented heart.
She had a flue husband, she had a
lovely boy. hut you would never be
in her company live minutes unless she
was complaining about her lot. She
complained about her home and her
husband’s salary. When she went out
walking she would always walk down
the boulevard lined with the wealthiest
homes, and then she would say: "I do
not know why I cannot live in a homo
like that. Why, if I could I would al
ways keep open house for all my poor
relatives and try to help them all I
could.” Would she have done what she
said she would do if she lived in yon
der palace? Nay, for at that time she
had far more titan some of those poor
relatives had. and yet she gave them
nothing. If we are false to God with
our little, we shall he false to God with
our much. If we refuse to give to
those who are in financial trouble
when we have one loaf of broad, we
will not give a crumb to the hungry
when we have a whole granary full of
wheat.
And, my friends, if \ye refuse to help
those who are in financial trouble, how
much more sinful tire we in refusing
to help those who are in spiritual trou
ble! The world looks at us as good,
respectable < butch members. Are we?
Down in the deep recesses of your own
hearts, are we? Have we done any
thing during the past year to win at
least one soul to Glirist? O God. for
give our spiritual indifference and self
ishness! When we appear before thy
judgment throne, may we he able to
show an honest desire and an honest
zea to save thy wandering prodigals
even as thou hast forgiven our sins
and brought us back into the gospel
fold.
Thus today I would have Die search-
llghtof the Holy Spirit tttmed on to our
lives so that in God’s sight we should
examine ourselves as we truly are.
Are you ready to be cleansed of your
secret sins? Are you ready to say:
which some of us arc willing to voice "O G^d. purify my life! O God, cleanse
Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Oat.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
^ t jj C back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Roct the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-^oot is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

in public, hut I do mean those carnal
thoughts, those licentious thoughts,
those revengeful and brutal thoughts,
those debasing thoughts, which some
of us at times, to a greater or less de
gree, are rendv to foster and let live
in our hearts.
The Kin of Kvll TIiouKlit.
When tlicre are horn into the nursery
of the brain licentious thoughts, re
vengeful thoughts, brutal and accursed
thoughts, thoughts which come to us
from reading bad hooks or going with
improper companions, or evil thoughts
which come to us we know not from
wlteuee, then we shield these thoughts.
We are foolish enough to suppose that
because the world dots not know about
them we are safe. Ah, no, my friends!
Though the world may not see a man's
evil thoughts, yet God sees them. “And
as a man thinketb in his heart so is lie
in the sight of .jud.” “For God shall
bring every work into judgment with
every secret thing, whether it lie good
or whether it be evil.” Beware how
you trifle with those had thoughts—
those evil thoughts. By the grace of
God crush them out of your life as you
would mash the poisonous fang of a
deadly adder under your heel. God
will condemn you not for what you
do, hut also for what you think in the
inmost recesses of your mind. O
God. make us pure in mind as well as
pure in deed!
But there are still two other classes
of secret sins to which I would call
your attention. One of them is the
sin of covetousness. The other is the
sin of selfish indifference to the misery
and wants of others. Now, this sin of
covetousness is such a repellent sin in
God’s sight that he wrote a whole com
mandment against it. This command
ment was not put In the words of a
general statement, hut went into si>e-
cific detail. Let me read to you the
command as it was given to Moses on
a table of stone: "Thou shall not covet
thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man
servant, nor his maidservant, nor bis
ox, nor his u#s. nor anything that is
thy neighbor's.” But, though God in
these vehement words has hurled his
denunciations against covetousness,
yet there ate many people who almost
every hour of every daj ci their lives
are guilty of this secret sin They
never walk along the streets or see a
fine home hut they keep saying to
themselves, “I wish I lived in a bouse
like that; I wish I could ride lit a car
riage like Uiat; I wish I might be able
to dress like that; I wish I might have
a servant to wait upon me like ^bat.”
And all their lives, instead of thanking
God for his mercies, some men and
women are in secret rebellion against
God because he has not done as much
thou me from secret faults! O God,
make me cie;m every whit! O God.
thou great reader of thoughts, may I
live and think and plan and work only
for thee!” if thou art not ready to say
this, then thou caust never be saved by
grace, for the Bible says, “God shall
bring every work into judgment with
every secret tiling whether it be evil."
Today I lift up for inspection the rec
ords of your secret sins. May God, by
the power of < hrist's blood, blot out
that debasing and condemnatory past
and give us a glorious and radiant fu
ture, with no secret, sin to mar the
white pages of the book of life.

Vinltora' Time Table*.
One of the many little things that
make English country house visiting
so delightful has been brought over to
this country and, of course, improved
upon, so far as the matter of spemding
money is concerned. This is the “Visi
tors’ Time Table.” a printed form con
taining such information as the hours
for "early tea” that is brought to the
guests’ bedside, breakfast, lunch, after
noon tea, dinner, the times of arrival
tind departure of mails and of the local
trains.
In English houses these cards are set
in the simplest and least expensive
leather frames, hut In the homes of
wealthy Americans nothing less will
do than solid silver ones costing any
where from $15 to $25.—New York

Tl* Dose* In Turkey-
Writes B. N. Brailsford, the author
of a new book on Macedonia and Tur
key: ”1 half suspect that the petroleum
is imported for the sake of the square
tin boxes In which it is packed. The
whole domestic economy of Turkey
scents to depend upon those tins. Piled
on<* upon another and roofed with
boards and sacking, they serve for
slum dwellings in Du* towns Cut up
into plates, they protect the sides of
the better houses from the* weather.
They tire used as water cans and kitch
en pots. Your food, your water and
even your bread taste of petroleum,
which becomes to the fastidious traveler
a sensuous symbol of the east. Noth
ing could illustrate better the poverty
and slovenliness of oriental life.”
