Los Angeles, Cal., .Tune 3.—in this
rernion the preacher shows the won
flerful power that is within the reach
of those who accept the invitation and
realize the promise in the text, Mat
thew vi, 33. “And all these tilings shall
lie added unto you.”
What is a promissory note? “Why,”
you answer, “it is a written agreement
made by one man in the interests of
another man.” Tliery are man£ forms
of promissory notes, Just the same as
there are many forms of wills and last j
testaments, but as a rule tin* legal form '
of a promissory note is written thus:
“Ninety days after date 1 promise to
pay to tile order of Mr. So-and-so
at the First National bank of New |
York city, with interest at the rate oi
G per cent per annum. Value received.” i
What, I ask, can anybody write a
promissory note and get $5,000 on a
written agreement like that? “Oh, no,"
you answer, laughing. “No man can
get money at the bank on a promis- j
sory note unless he is known to lie a j
wealthy man or he can put up some
property as collateral or unless he is
>le to get some friend to indorse ids
::ote whose name is a sufficient guar-
i *e that this promissory note will be
: i. If it was not for this fact every
c.o 1 beat in town would be flocking
(o banks and to the vidi men tc
bor.o v money, and our banks and cap
italists would lie bankrupted almost iu
a day.” In other words, a promissory
note is of value only when it is siguee
by a r. :ne which is a satisfactory
guarantee that the note when it comes
due will be paid in full.
Well, tli. u. my friends, tills promis
sory note of my text is one of the
grandest and best and most wide
sweeping non s ever written. The
name of the I. >• 1 God Almighty rs at
the bottom of i:. I’lirist is the King
who stands the y i ran tee that it shall
be paid in full. V. h it a glorious prom
issory note it is! < iirist’s name is the
most potent and glorious in all history.
In the records of the centuries you
cannot find one instance where Christ
has broken ids promises. Now Christ
says, “If ye will stop worrying about
what you shall eat and drink and
about what you shall wear and about
the bouse in which you shall live and
if you will seek me first and follow
me, all these things will be added unto
you.” Are you ready to accept this
text as a promissory note? If so, let
us run over a few of the temporal and
spiritual blessings which Christ is
ready to give to us if we earnestly and
prayerfully follow him.
.Clirlut’a Promiae.
Christ stands today in the first place
as the willing deliverer from all tem
poral anxieties. He conies to us and
says, “Friend, I will feed you; I will
clothe you; 1 will house you for today.”
But this promise does not appeal to us
very much. Why? Most of us know
where today's dinners are to come
from. But it Is the dinner of tomorrow
or of next week or of next year that
is worrying us. Then Christ says: “I
will not only guarantee you a full cup
board, a full wardrobe and a bed In
which to sleep tonight, but I will prom
ise you these temporal gifts as long as
you live upon earth. I will promise
them for you next winter, next year,
ten, twenty, fifty years from now, if
you are alive. I will promise you all
these things if you will only trust me
and live for me.” Then ve look up In
wonder and say, “What, Lord, wilt
thou take away from me this awful
anxiety in reference to the future ne
cessities of life if I trust thee?” Then
Christ answers: “I will, I will. Thus I
will do for all my disciples who obey
me.” Then if we are true disciples of
Christ we say: “O God, I thank thee
for taking this responsibility of the
future off my shoulders. I roll my
heavy burdens down at thy feet.” Are
you and I ready to do this to Christ
and accept him ahhls word?
Have not the burdens in reference to
the physical necessities of life been
awfully hard to carry? During the
first half of your business life most of
your earnings went Into bread and
butter and meat and clothes and house
rent. I read an address delivered
some time ago by one of the most bril
liant women of this country. She was
making a plea for women to learn how
to cook, so that they could reduce the
expenses of the kitchen to the mini
mum. If a wife had to do her own
cooking, then she should learn to do
It economically. If she had hired terr-
ants, then by personal knowledge she
should compel her cooks not to waste
the food. Then this noted female speak
er made this impressive statement:
“Women, you should learn how to do
your work In life well, for nearly
four-fifths of ail an average man’s In
come Is spent by bis wife in meeting
the butcher, the baker, the grocer, the
clothier bills and the bouse rent.” Is
not that a startling assertion? Yet it
Is true. For the first fifteen years of
your business life practically all of
your money was Immediately spent to
meet the bare physical necessities of
your family’s existence. No wonder as
the money came in so slowly and went
out so rapidly the sharp Iron plow of
care furrowed your face with wrinkles
and bleached your black hair Into sil
ver and gray.
The Tara In the Lane.
But the old proverb says, “It Is a
long lane which has no turning.”
Though the lane of financial struggle
was long, yet at last It turned. It turns
at last for almost every one. You
cleared off most of your debts—aye, all
of them. Your income began to ex
eeed j our outgo, although your domes
tic expenses were enlarging every
year. You were investing your money
to bring forth-lts G per cent annually
when suddenly the crash came. The
old lane had a turn. But, alas, like a
boomerang, it turned so completely
that it went around In a circle. It
brought you to prosperity. Then,
again, it flung you iuto ptactical bank
ruptcy. The iniue became exhausted,
or the real estate boom broke, or the
business partner became uutruc. I do
not know what it was, but today you
arc perhaps again a poor man. ‘‘Ob,”
you say to yourself, “if 1 could only be
sure that 1 would bo able to meet my
temporal wants next year as I am this
year!” You can, brother. You can be
sure if you wish to be wire. Christ
says, “Seek ye first the kingdom of
God and his righteousness and all
these tilings will tie added uuto you.”
Cannot you trust him? Will you not
today rofl over all that responsibility
upou him? You may have financially
failed, but God never fails. He will
look after you when you are not able
to look after yourself. Will you trust
him now?
But food aud clothing and house reut
mean more to me than the bare neces
sities of life. They mean more than a
mere treadmill existence and a perpet
ual grind. They mean more than eman
cipation from poverty and distress.
They mean vast and unlimited re
sources. They are the symbols of great
armies of men marshaled together as
emplojces. Ihey represent not only
what we shall eat and wear and the
houses in which we shall live, but they
represent the food and the clothing wc
sell to others and the laud which otb
ors rent from us. In other words, they
represent power, unlimited and mighty
power.
Worklnif For Power.
Let me illustrate. I go out upon tlu
hillsides of New Zealand. I see thou
sands upon thousands of sheep brows
ing there. I say to the owner of these
countless sheep: “For what do you
raise those sheep? Why, I can see your
flocks everywhere.” “I raise them for
the wool,” he answers. “What do you
do with the wool?" "Why, I send that
to the English factories. If you were
here iu shearing time you would see
hundreds of tons of that wool cut and
shipped as the harvesters press the baj
into bales for the market. Then after
that wool reaches the factories it Is
cleaned and scoured and spun out into
threads aud woven into underweo and
turned into coats and vests and pants
and dresses and cloaks. Why, that coat
jou have on today is made out of wool
Thousands upon thousands of yards of
cloth come from the backs of my sheep
every year.” “But,” I say, “what is the
‘But,” 1 ss
ig so mar
good of raising so many sheep? You
and your family can only wear a few
dozen yards of cloth annually. Yet here
j ou are raising enough sheep to clothe
the whole English army. You certainly
are not raising all these sheep for your
own use?” “No,” he answers, “I am
raising ail these sheep for power. I am
beyond the mere question of my own
livelihood. But the more sheep I own
the more money I get and the more
workmen I employ the more influence
I have in the world and fhe more I am
honored and looked up to as an influcu
tial capitalist." The great sheep own
er of New Zealand pastures his thou
sands upon thousands of sheep foi
power. Many flocks are the symholf
of man’s influence over man.
What is true of the flocks of sheej
and the herds of cattle Is emphaticalij
true in reference to the land. The more
land a man owns the more power he h
supposed to have. This Is the reason
why the laws of entail of England art
In vogue today. Take, for instance, the
present Duke of Norfolk, who owm
over 500,000 acres, or the Duke of Rich *
mond, who owns over 300,000 acres
When one of these British noblemen
dies he will not leave his property tc
his children share and share alike, bui
he says to himself: “I must keep up my
family influence. I am required by law
to leave to my eldest son all the land
I have and my house and heirlooms i
Then as the years go by this property
will become more and more valuable
Then, as a great landowner with thou
sands upon thousands of tenants de
pending upon him, my son's voice In
the nation will be heard as a voice o!
authority.” Great harvest fields, great
flocks of sheep and herds of cattle
great farms and landed estates are the I
symbols not only of what we eat and
drink and wear, but of unlimited pow
er and influence. Now, when Christ
comes to us and says, “Seek ye first the
kingdom of God and his rifebteousnesi;
and all these things will he added untc
you,” he Is practically saying: “Seek
first the kingdom of heaven, which le
your first and chief concern, and I will
take care of your temporal Interests
All the wealth and power that it U
well for you to have shall be given tc
you, only strive to do my work and
seek to save men and serve me in yom
dally life.” 1
As tbs World floes.
Because the world at large does not
recognize the infinite results of thl«
power that does not prove that this
power does not exist. The world has
not recognized some of the mlghtlesl
men of the ages even In statecraft
The other day I was reading a most
Interesting article by Hannibal Ham
lln on the United States senate. Tbis
great son of New England had repre
seated Maine In public life over forty
years, or for nearly half a century
He was born only ten years aftei
Washington died. He was the per
sonal friend of Adams and Jefferson
and Monroe and the colkague and as
soclate of Webster, Clay, Benton and
Calhoun and al! the great public men
from 1848, when he was first elected
to congress, to 1891, when he died. He
was a giant among giants, a kin#
among kings—that Is, If you bellevt
the makers and the molders and ro
creators of our nations belonged to a
race of kings.
With almost a century for his re
trospect Mr. Hamlin declared that
some of the mightiest senators who
Influenced the legislation of his time
were hardly known outside of their
states and the senatorial walls. Then
he mentions some of them, whose
names 1 had scarcely heard of bi re.
There was Samuel S. Phelps of A r- ,
moat, whom Daniel Webster dccla. jd
to be one of the soundest and ablest
men he ever knew In public life. There
were Senators Maguire and Badger of j
North Carolina and Senator Dixon H. s
Lewis of Alabama, whose brain was
relatively supposed to be as large as |
his body, and that body tipped the !
scales at 500 pounds. Those men, i
wrote Mr. Hamlin, were the great lead- :
ers of leaders, yet outside of senatorial j
walls the public hardly knew their !
names. Thus may it be with the pow- j
er of Christ’s disciples. The world at 1
large may not recognize the power of i
the Holy Spirit which is iu us, but
the power will be there. Christ will {
recognize it. Heaven will recognize it.
All eternity will recognize it when we i
are able to bring sinful men and wom
en In touch with Jesus Christ. Oh, ye
men aud women who long for power,
will ye not take this text as its sym
bol, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God j
and his righteousness and all these |
tilings will be added unto you?” That |
means that the gift of the Holy Spirit
can be yours.
Spiritual Development.
But full wardrobes and cupboards i
and assured homesteads symbolically j
mean more to me than even power. |
They represent mental and physical
and spiritual development. They repre-;
sent in one sense freedom from care.
In the next sense they represent
growth, expansion, increased dome of
forclicad, healthful lungs, steady heart
beat. They represent all that is best
and noblest in tin* physical and mental
and spiritual domain. I cannot press !
home my tliouglK better than by draw !
ing two or three verbal pictures.
It is early morning, still almost dark, j
near Scranton, the queen city of the j
mining regions of Pennsylvania. In a ;
little cabin a miner and his family arc
taking a hurried breakfast. At half
past 7 you can see the long lines of
working people heading for the mines
and the breakers. “Why are you tak
ing your two boys along with you, Mr. j
Miner?” you ask. “It is too early for 1
school yet. These boys are pale and
thin. They do not get enough sunlight.
You must not let them study so hard.”
‘‘Studj’ hard! Sunlight!” answers the (
miner. “These boys of mine do not go
to sebool. They are earning their liv
ing the same as I am. We have a
large family in this hut. and all who
can must go out and help to earn
the food they eat, the clothing they |
wear and help pay the house rent."
"What! Do those boys work for a live
lihood? Why, one of them is so small
his dinner pail almost touches the
ground as he carries it along!” “Yes.
they work. All boys in miners’ huts|
are compelled to work for their living.”
I go into tin* breaker, and there I find
hundreds of little boys all crouched up. i
picking out the good coal as it passes
along by their side. The air is un
healthy. It is laying the foundations
of the “miner’s asthma.” The hours
arc long and tiresome. The “breaker
boys,” who should now be at school
and who would make fine men If It
were not for the money question, are
being stunted in their growth. Ah, the
pity of it! Do you not see how the
food question, the clothing question,
the house rent question, can be an ac-!
cursed bulwark against physical, men
tal, moral and spiritual development?
The Real Money Question.
How often have we heard this state
ment made by men and women: “Oh.
how I wish this daily bread question
were not holding me in its vise. I know
I am growing to look like my type
writer, or my yardstick, or my kitchen
stove or my sewing table. How I
would love to travel and see the won
ders of the world. How I would love
to make the great thoughts of the great
books speak to me. How I would love
to develop my painting talent or my
musical talent or my natural history
talent. But Just as I was about to en
ter college father died. Mother was
left penniless. Then I bad to go to
work to become a mere bread earning,
clothing earning and house rent earn
ing machine.” Grasp you not the sym
bol? With the cupboard and wardrobe
and house renting question anxieties
eliminated from your life, do you not
see how In Christ you can grow and
grow and expand and come to the full
physical and mental and spiritual and
moral development for which God In
tended you?
Let us bring this lesson a little near
er home. For thirty years you have
consecrated your life to money making.
At first you said you had to do It to
make a living. Now you do It because
your mercenary habits have the mas
tery of you. You save every penny you
can. You are a miser. Your face shows
It. Your mind, your body, your whole
life Is warped. You cannot enjoy a pic
ture gallery. Music Js to you a perfect
bore. The only columns you love to
read are the stock market columns.
You are a mere money making ma
chine. Now, compare your developed
life to that of a man like Dwight L.
Moody. He had all the capabilities
of financial success. He had them In
greater measure than you had. But
one day be turned his back upon the
store and went and knelt in bis bed
room and said: “Ix>rd, I give my life
up to thee. I shall follow thee and thee
alone. Thy will Is to be my will.” Was
he not developed? Was he not devel
oped In a better way than by cringing
before the shrines of Midas’ golden
Image?

Police of the British Kuiplre.
The police force of the British em
pire-metropolitan, municipal and ru
ral—Includes altogether about 214,(XX)
men. Of this total 54,000 are in the
United Kingdom aud 147,000 in India,
the remainder l»eing in the colonies and
♦ dependencies. But If we add the num
ber of village jiolice In India who are
legally recognized and of whom there
are at least from 345,000 to 350,000 we
get a grand total of 560,000 for the po
lice force of the empire. This means
that, taking the British empire as a
whole, there is one policeman to every
570 people and to every sixteen square
miles. The police of the United King
dom cost £100 a year each on the av
erage.—Ix>ndon Chronicle.
You feel you can converse with any
man or woman alive and not be asham
ed of yourself. But tell me, with all
your education, have you the true de
velopment your sainted mother had,
wh» years ago surrendered her life
aud all into the hands of the Master?
Place your photograph alongside of
tier old fashioned dagueneotype. Com
pare the two faces, ♦our mother was
no ignoramus. Her eyes show it; her
lips show it. But behind that noble,
sweet face there is something which
j’our face lacks. The beauty of a true
soul Is there. It is not iu your face.
You are not well developed; you arc
pot spiritually developed. You cannot
come to your true spiritual develop
ment and best moral and menial de
velopment until you first seek Christ
and his righteousness, and then all
these tilings—yen. all—will be added
unto you.
Lastly, the struggle for the necessi
ties of life represents for some of u-
the great barriers between us and tin-
sweet scented gardens of happiness
It Is nearly always represented with
the workingman’s overalls cast aside
Inevitably we picture that time in the
dim future when we have amassed
enough money to retire from business.
Then we will buy a home in some suit-
urban town; then we will have tills
large home always opened to our
friends and our dear ones; then we
will expect the children, and the grand
children to come and visit us and stay
as long as they can. Oh, yes; food and
clothes and a free homestead represent
not only a peaceful old age, but a bap
py youth, a happy manhood. And why
should not this be so? Can you find
au.v life happier than the Christian
life? Can you find any exhilaration
and joy more glorious and transcend
ent than that of serving Christ? If
you and I want true happiness we do
not have to seek it in a suburban villa.
VVe truly can find it in Jesus. “Seek
ye first tl** kingdom of God and his
righteousness, and all this happiness
will lie added unto you.”
RiMhop Ken's CmirnBe.
We should be ready to seek this di
vine happiness at any cost, as was Dr.
Ken. who afterward became the bish
op of Bath and Wells. Dr. Ken at the
time was living in Winchester. Tc
that town came the licentious Charles
II. of England, with ids sinful c;ourt.
In this court lie brought along the no
torious and yet beautiful Kahab, Nell
Gwyn. The king bade her occupy the
village rectory while he was there. In
reply Dr. Ken said, “Never shall a per
son of the character of Nell Gwyn
lodge under my roof.” Tlte court was
horrified. The church leaders declared
that “this Episcopalian priest had sign
ed his ecclesiastical death warrant.”
But a short time after the bishopric
of Bath and Wells became vacant.
The English premier had a long list
of prominent clergymen which he pre
sented to the king for the appoint
ment. Charles brushed these uame;i
aside as he said: “No, none of them
shall have it. What is the name of
that little man at Winchester who
would not let Nell Gwyn lodge in his
house? Well, Dr. Ken shall have it.
I have resolved that any man who
could Ik* as true to God as he should
have the next bishopric which fell va
cant if it had been Canterbury itself.”
So as Dr. Ken won his promotion by
his willingness to commit ecclesiastical
suicide for right’s sake God promotes
us when we are willing to surrender
all for him.
If we will first seek him and his
righteousness lie promises all things.
Yea, all good things will be added
unto us. Then we shall have the tem
poral necessities supplied. Then we
shall have the Holy Spirit’s power.
Then we shall have true mental, phys
ical, moral and spiritual development.
Then we shall have the peace which
pusseth all understanding. Then “we
shall have heaven tills side of the
grave aud heaven beyond. Anxious
men and women, will you seek Christ
and his righteousness and have all
these things added unto you?

For many years it has been supposed that

opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposesthe nerves of tne stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the Juices of natural digestion. Thia la
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

Qaeea Maud’a Hobby.
One of the oddest of royal hobbies Is
that followed by Queen Maud of Den
