Frank De Witt Tilmage. D. D. Los Angeles, Cal.. Sept. The claims of Christ to the homage of iill races and nil times as a divine being and the greatest of teachers are elo quently presented in this sermon from the text John vll, 40, “Never man spake like this man.” What u strange world this Is! As soon as i novelty ceases to be a novel ty we look upon it as quite common place. What onee aroused our admira tion and enthusiasm is now considered one of the ordinary, prosaic incidents of everyday life. We marveled not long ago at the revolving wheel of the horseless carriage along our boule vards, which made thousands of pedes trlans line the curbstones with interest. But that “nine days’ wonder” soon came to an end. Now we grumble at the speed limit of the automobile, ap ply opprobrious epithets to the ebauf- feur and cross the street In fear and trembling lest one of these onrushlng machines hurl in into eternity without a moment's notice. Onee the sound of tlie telephone bell would make us take down the receiver with joyful anticipa tion to tiud who next of our friends had ordered his name put into the telephone book. But now, instead of being impressed with the wonder of the telephonic wire, we are irritated by it as an annoyance. Once we said: “Marvelous! Marvelous Invention!” Now we say, “1 wish this miserable telephone bad never been invented, for then I could have a few hours In quiet for work.” But. though a novelty may cease to Is* a novelty in reference to fiftme 'of the great inventions of the world, yet some creations of God and man have never ceased to l>e novelties liecause they stand out from all other crea tions as absolutely unique. Why do the tourists in multitudes annually go to visit Niagara falls? Because those waterfalls are different from all other kinds of waterfalls. Why do the vis itors marvel at the wonders of Yel lowstone park? Because when they S4*e the geysers in full play and the “Giant Paint Pot” and “Hell’s Half Acre,” where the ground, as In an earthquake, is moving and trembling under their feet and where they can catch a flsli in one pool and without moving their feet throw that living fish into a natural caldron not ten yards away and there cook it and take it up ready to Ik* eaten, these |>eople say. “There are many wonders In this world, but there is no wonder any where else Just like the wonders of Yellowstone park.” The same Is true aliout the pyramids. If we knew how they were built and why they were built, and If there were pyramids In every land like the Egyptian pyramids, we would have but little Interest in climbing Pharaoh's marvels. But be cause the Egyptian pyramids are dif ferent from all other piles of stone tens of thousands of tourists annually make pilgrimage to Cairo ns to a sa cred shrine. Differences In Men. What is true of inanimate things Is also true of certain men. When you find a man radically different In ca pacity from all other men, then that man stands out conspicuous among his fellows. Paganini, the master wizard of the violin, was such a man. The musical critics of his day declare that lie developed a tone touch which was peculiarly his own. No other man ever possessed It before he did. No man has ever possessed It since. He was different from all other musicians. Be cause lie was different, the whole musi cal world sat at Ids feet and listened and marveled. Edgar Allan Poe was sueh a man. Then were a host of poets before the author of “The Ra ven.” Many have risen and flourished since, but he was different from them all. Never was there a man who could make such rhythmic music out of mere words ns he. Head his famous poem "The Bells.” He transforms every word Into a bell note. There the sleighs ring theiy l)ella, and the church towers ring their bells, and the fire alarms ring their bells, and the solemn funeral dirges ring their bells. And Itecause Edgar Allan Poe was different from all other poets we find his books upon almost every library shelf. Infinitely grander, supernally unique, even from a human standpoint, Is ho of whom I speak today. Christ was and Is different from all otber > men. When he came forth from Nazareth tad began to teach the people tried to analyze bis power. They tried to find similarities between his personality and that of other prophets, but the more they studied him the more they found he was a law unto himself. And because lie pan so peculiarly Individ ual the people liegan to flock after him hi great multitudes. At last every man and woman who came In touch with this new teacher confessed that he was absolutely and Intensely unique. Even the officers of the law who were sent by the priests and Pharisees to arrest Jesus would not apprehend him, for they said, “Never man spake like this man.” Do you wonder that a man like Jesus, who was of such a unique in dividual type, should have gathered aliout bio personality the ever Increas ing multitudes and that he astounded them with his doctrines? I want to show you this morning some of th* respects in which Christ was different from oilier men and why he wants us to be like him and be In our way differ ent from the great world at large. How Christ Was Diffsrsnt. Christ was different from all other men, in the first place, because he claimed thrft he was the divine source of spiritual life. lie spoke ns a proph et, but he was more than a prophet. He spake ns a priest, but he was more than a priest. He spake as a divine ting in whom was all power. He stood up in the midst of the people and ►aid. “I am the Christ whom the prophets foretold.” He said, "I am the Messiah who has eome to establish a kingdom.” lie did more than that. He compared himself to a fountain of living water of which If any man should drink he would never thirst again. He did more than that. He said that If any man should believe on him the divine power which he pos sessed would flow through the human heart as through a living channel. In all the history of the world was there ever a human being who took to him self such divine authority as did Christ? Do you wonder that when the officers of the law, at the behest of the chief priests, went to apprehend Jesus they stood amazed and exclaimed. “Never man spake like this man?” His Claim of Divinity. But the exalted claims of this di vine Nazarene did not end with mere words. He said, “I am the Christ.” Then he again said: “I will prove it by working the most wonderful mlra ties man ever witnessed. Do you see that young man who was born blind? I touch his eyes and .uey are opened. See, here Is a deaf and dumb man. I place my finger in bis ear and on his tongue and he Is able to hear and speak. See, here Is a dead man. De composition has already set in. That body is a corpse. I will call him and he will rise up and turn his bier Into a couch. I do these miracles to prove to you that I am divine. All power Is In me. I and my Father are one." Thus did Jesus to prove his divinity. He was a man. He was born bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh, yet at the same time he said: “I am God. I am the Messiah whose advent was prophesied from the earliest time. Lis ten to me.” Do you not realize that this claim of divinity makes Christ stand forth from all other men as dis tinctively Individual? . Now, my brother, If this divine Christ has a divine strength to give to you what you can receive from no other source, does It not behoove you to seek Christ and ask for this divine blessing? If Jesus Is truly God. are you not willing to kneel down and ask for lifai pardon and his love? Ami especially would you not have this di vine strength when It Is offered freely to the vilest and the most flagrant sinners as it is offered to you? Professor Phillips tells the story*of a burglar who broke into a seaside mansion. lie tumbled Into the middle of the parlor floor all the valuables which he wished to take away, but in the comer of that parlor was a beautiful figure of Guido’s “Ecce Ho mo.” There was the Christ, as only the Italian master could paint him. Jesus’ head was crowned with thorns. With a look of ineffable love he seemed to say: “I am dying for you. I am dying that you might be saved from sin and live forever with me." The burglar stopiied in ids work of theft and begun to study that face. Then he seemed to say, “O Christ, 1 cannot steal while thou art looking at me.” And so he turned the face of Je sus to the wall. O man, O*woman, O child, are you going to turn the face of Christ away? Remember his parched, bleeding lips are ready to speak words of eternal life to you. Are you going to turn your back upon this Christ, who is man and yet God? Can you not hear Christ saying to you, “If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink?” God is speaking. Christ the God is speaking. He is speaking to you. He Is speaking to me. He is speaking to all sinners. Yea, he Is speaking to the whole world. But Christ did more than claim di vine kingship. When he opened his lips he taught a new social doctrine. He upset all the foundation stones upon which the society of his day had been built. He came to the rich man and said, “That poor man Is thy neighbor.” He came to the man wh« had a griev ance against his neighbor and said: “The Mosaic law is not in force now. It Is not eye for eye or tooth for tooth. It Is love for hate, forgiveness for in justice, mercy for transgression. Bress them which persecute you. Bless and curse not.’’ Could there have been a more revolutionary doctrine preached than that which Christ taught in bis message of the new kingdom? A Woman’s Preaching. I once heard an anarchist, a woman, preach her horrible doctrine. That night after the meeting when I lay in bed with all my better manhood re volting from the despicable teachings of this dangerous woman I thought of the shock Christ's teachings must have .given to those scrilies and Pharisees of his day. But what a difference! She preached murder and revolution. He preached i»euce and good will to men. Every word of her address was fiery with hate and malignity; all his words were tender and loving. She demand ed fire and sword for her foes; his prayer was; “Father, forgive them. They know not what they do.” As I tried to compart* the sermon on the mount with the teachings and the ten •ts of the Pharisees I could under stand how they would be shocked. I saw the gentle, humble Christ In his coarse garments pointing to the rich robes of the high priest and saying. "Thou shalt not make my Father’s house a place of uterebandiae.” Then I saw Jesus placing his loving hand upon the rich ruler's shoulder and ten derly saying. "Sell all thou hast and give to the p<M»i\" Then in the dark ness of the night after I had attended the anarchistic meeting I said to my self: “What poor doctors for a world awry men are! This woman perceives social injustice, nnd she would tear so ciety to atoms, but the divine Christ, perceiving social Injustice, bids soci ety pattern itself on his kingdom which is .In heaven. Yes, Christ did more than claim bis divine klngsbip. His teachings were the message of love. When Jesus npt>eared the old Mosaic dispensation of an eye for an eye nnd a tooth for a tooth as the principle of social life disappeared for ever. Am I going beyond my right when I declare that In reference to Jesus the teacher, “Never man spake like this man?” But there was another fact about Christ which individualized him as the most unique of all personalities. He claimed that his dominion should yet cover this round world as the waters cover the sea. And yet, when the He brew people wanted to make him their earthly king, Jesus refused all tem poral' power. He said: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight that I should not be de livered to the Jews; but now Is my kingdom not from hence.” In other words, the man who was offered Da vid’s throne deliberately turns his back upon It, and yet he claims a di vine kingship. From a human stand point, could you imagine anything more inexplicable? While thinking along this line my mind naturally ran back to the scene of Christ’s great temptation. You know the story* After Jesus had fasted forty days the devil came to him and said, “If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.” Rut Christ said, “It Is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that pro- ceedeth out of the mouth of God/ ” Then the devil took Jesus upon one of the temple’s pinnacles and said, "Throw thyself down, and God will send hisvangels to keep thee from be ing destroyed." But Christ said, “It Is written again, 4 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God/” Then the devil took Jesus up on a high moun tain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and said, “Fall down, worship me, and all these will I give thee.” But Jesus said, “Get the* hence, Satan; for It is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.’ ” In plain English, Satan wanted Jesus to demand a visible manifestation of God’s pow er. He would have Christ do some thing practical. He knew r men, and he knew* that they would follow a man who could turn stones Into bread; who could fling himself from a dizzy height and alight unhurt; who could achieve worldwide rule by compromising with evil. But not by such means would Jesus win the world’s faith and love. Satan could not understand the spirit ual, could not conceive of that ineffa ble power by which if Christ was lifted up he would draw all men unto him. Was It an Allegory? Now, 1 always used to look upon this story as an allegory. I never be lieved that in truth this happened. But the older I grow the more I believe it is literally true. Satau always was and always will be of a carnal mind. He can never understand anything which does not appeal to the carnal mind. He is a great deal like that brutal man, who one day asked Benja min Disraeli why he had married so unattractive a wife. Disraeli was in conspicuous until he married a widow who was some years older than he, but she lavished her wealth upon him and gave him his first step in political life. The prime minister answered: “My friend, I eannoLAell you because I do not think yofrcould understand my motive. Yodf do not know what gratitude meau^ So Satan was and always will b^of carnal mind. If Christ could aot sit upon an earthly throne and manacle Satan with chains, he does not believe Christ has any power. Thus with the Hebrews. They could not understand why Christ the spiritual king would not become Christ the temporal king. They could not understand why Christ, who claim ed to be a spiritual ruler, would not re-establish the Davidic throne In Je rusalem. And yet Is it not always the men who have willingly turned their backs upon thrones of earthly power who have established kingdoms of spiritual power? Take the life of John Wesley, with bis marvelous organizing ability, his wonderful literary gifts, his allver tongue and bis power of polemics— could he not have been the greatest statesman or lawyer or ecclesiastic of bis time had be wished? Was not the palace or the archbishop’s chair with in bis grasp had he sought It? And yet today do we not honor and love the founder of Methodism more +h«n if be bad been an archbishop? Eng land has produced many great men, but seldom a greater than David Liv ingstone. Rut do we not honor him today because he gave up all for Christ? I do not care where you go in his tory, the men we honor most today and whom God honors most have been and are the men who have turned their backs upon thrones of temporal power in order to spread the higher kingdom of truth and purity and spir ituality. The carnal mind cannot grasp this sacrifice, bat the spiritual mind can. In order to truly appreciate the divine sacrifice we most first have the divine love In our own hearts. Lastly, the Hebrews of old could not understand this new Teacher because he Has going to establish his splrltnai kingdom out of the vilest of the vile. He was not like the architect who goes to the purest and whitest quar ries to get the atones for the walla of his marble palace. But be goes to the dirt sad mire of sin. He collects tbs most debased. And out of the vilest humanities he expects to build his pur est palaces. If there was a sinner about he always bunted him out if he could do that sinner any good. He even went and lodged in his house, as he did with Zaceheus. And yet, strange ns It may seem, it Is almost impossible to do <Uni’s work aright unless we are willing to associate with those who are desnlsed by their fel low men. Now comes the practical questions Are we. for Christ’s sake, willing t< become socially ostracized by those who think it is not projwr for us to go with those who have gone ■stray? Are we willing to do this for Christ, as Christ did this for us? [Copyright, 1907, by T»uls Klopsch.l Fire Escapes. To go down the ordinary external fire escape ladder one has to be more or less of an acrobat and possess un usually strong nerves and sinews. Nearly all such tire escapes are placed where in a severe fire they ar©' likely to become red hot nnd useless and In nine eases out of ten are so located as to be more or less Inaccessible. The International Society of Building In spectors is making an effort to have cities incorporate in their building re quirements a rule that will give every structure a safe ««id positive Are es cape. The main Ifejiirs, it is argued, are the most natural means of egress to which people will turn in a moment of need. Therefore, it Is contended, the main stairs of every building should be made absolutely incombus- tible, should Ik* inclosed in fireproof inelosures, either walls of brick or tile or screens of steel or wire glass, and have self closing doors at every landing. They should abut either upon the street or into a fireproof corridor leading to the street, and from such a corridor there should be none but abso lutely fireproof communications, doors, etc., to any other portion of the build ing. It may be a slight inconvenience to open and close a door every time one goes up or down a stairway, but this is counterbalanced by the absolute security and safety afforded by such a stairway.—Harper’s. This Happy Land. We cannot refrain from smiling when we think of the Swedes along up the Republican river between here and Republic City reading King Os car’s invitation, request or command to Swedes lu this country to come home to their native land to help build it up. We can see some of them read ing Oscar’s talk while sitting on the front porch of a three story modern dwelling, steam heat, hot and cold wa ter arrangements, with private gas for lighting purposes, ice house in the rear, poach and apple trees for lawn decora- tlons and a herd of Poland-Chinas or Du rocs for barnyard embellishments, with a sea of corn and alfalfa for landscape—oh, yes, we can imagine them selling their automobiles, ripping up their rural mail boxes, tearing the phone down off tbe wall, throwing the cat out of doors, shooting the dog and taking tbe next train for Sweden In response to the invitation of King Os car. Why, .if Oscar had one of those fine farms in Norway or Beaver town ship he wouldn’t go back to Sweden either.—Concordia Kansan.

On and after September 1st, 1907, I will sell no more bread or bread tickets on credit. My reasons for establishing a cash basis are too numerous to men tion, however, will mention a few: First. The material from which bread is made is bought strictly for cash, and must be sold accordingly. Second. Bread is sold for too small a margin to pay for carrying an entry through the number of books it must go when charged. Last, but not least, purchas ers of tickets frequently receive bread from the driver without giving him a ticket, as they are not convenient, and when bills are presented they are under the impression that tickets have been given in exchange and unpleasant feelings are caused when such bills are presented to both purchaser and collector. I trust you will thoroughly understand my position and realize it is to the best interest of both purchasers and myself that I establish a cash basis, and always send cash when you want tickets or bread, and I shall continue to strive to de serve your patronage.
