TO GEI OUR REWARD DR. CHAPMAN'S SUNDAY SERMON He Shows to us the Oreat flercy of J Christ Who Grants us a Reward; For Faithful Service. Xf.w Yobk City. --The distinguished and well-known evangelist, the Rev. l)r. Wilbur Chapman, has furnished for publication the following sermon entitled "Rules of Service." It was preached from the text: "No man that warreth entangletli himself with the affairs of this lite. | that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And it a man also j strive for masteries, vet is he not crowned, i extent he strive lawfully." 2 Timothy, ii: I 4. 5. It is not er.on~h simply to perform what ^ight lie called good deed*. in the estimation of the world, for u:i" might receive the applause of men. and miss his reward at the hands of God. Neither is it enough that nnc should be so given to service that I lie might win the applause of people everywhere There is no special promise in God's word written for the man who is simply faithful in outward service. Paul must have had this in mind when he said: "Vet is he not crowned except he strive ' lawfully."' It is a good thing tor the Christian to square his life, both public and private, his innermost thoughts, and the hidden tn.an of his heart, by the word of God. to see if in any point he is falling a way from God's nlan and the lloly Ghost's guidance. When John, in Revelation, wrote. "Ix-t no man take thy crown." he presented what to my mind is one ot the mosi solemn subjects in all the Bibl^? namely, that one might be saved, have hfs -ins forgiven, stand before (lot! justified, be perfectly sv.rc of being ultimately rereived into Hi- presence. and be -.1 ved throughout eternity, and yet mi? his reward ami lose his crown. This chapter is a note of warning ami a heart orv tr> people everywhere to search their lives, aided by the Spit it. to u.?k tlod to deal very thoroughly with i h'-nt even though this dealing nu.y in can ilie cutting oft or some w:y much loved -in or the gitin? uj> in some long cherished plan. 1. AH -trvicc- rau-t he prompted by right motives. It is not so much how tin* work appears outwardly that commends it t.? Hod- 111 this His judgment is given differently irotn j that of titan, hut it is alt-i^v!her a question 1 as to what, hack of it a'l. prompted the j -orvice. Tite giving of <he widow's mite and its' lteariv acceptance by oar Ma-lcr ! is an illustration of thi- tact, for in lite sir- 1 sire that prompted the gift *>.ts found i that which was of ten thon-aud times J more \alue than the gift itself. One might, preach the gospel and win ( hundreds of sou'.- for t.'hri-!. and the motives that prompted lite preaching he wrong. One might sup.uint-.-nd .1 Sundayschool with much success, he a t -.u-h?r ot acknowledged ability, lead the young people's work iti the church, he a cno-cn lead- j cr of the mission work, and upon all these position- have the seal of the approval 01 J nten ayij the plaudits of the limitilmle he- j cause of acknowledged success, and yet ' miserably fail at the great day 01 awards ! to receive one single crown for fui'iuulmss i L .1.. 1 1. ; 1. j - -Sliupjy rwauM- njr ?unn ... fishnets and carried 0:1 in pride. It was not done for the glory of God. hni. rather for the glory of man. One might build chimhu*. and lor his supposed generosity be highly esteemed of men. and yet receive v. rebuke from?^he lips of tin* ji->en Chritt. One might endow schools which) God would use tor the betterment of kocity and. for the accomplishment of His own purposes or the working of His own plans, and yet have no recognition on the great day of awards. One might, give his money to clothe the poor ami leed the hungry; he might 1* known wherever the Knglish language is spoken. lor his charitable works, and when the great dav oi awards should coine might hear the Master say: "Depart, for I never knew yon."' His soul is saved, hut his life is lost. All of these things are true, because, while outwardly the service was wondei ml and the success great, the motive that promoted it all .was selfish. Jesus Himself has said that there would l>c ?.?ntc who should *iy: "Lord, have we not prophesied in Thr name, and in Thy name done many wonderful works?" Thus the teaching becomes more intense and the lesson more startling, for one might even think that lie was shaping his life according to Hod's plan and yet most terribly ntiss the, reward. When Paul wrote bis ,'lr-l loiter to the Corinthians he said: "For other foundation c?n no man lay than that is laid, which is .lesu- Christ. If any man's work shall is' burned he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by ire." This is very clearly, to my mind, a lesson to Christian workers in general, but ir. in tPirfiMil.'ii* The fnmtii 11 iun is the same for us all Jesus Christ, hut the superstructure may be very different. It i? a most solemn thought one of the most solemn I know that when the float day of tire shall eorne every man's work shall be tried, of what sort it is. The ministry of the man whom the world honored hall be touched by tire. The service of the Christian worker, ironi the first effort made for Chiist to the last, shall certainly be tested. The teaching of the Sundayschool teacher, throughout his or her entire Christian experience, -hall !>< brought beneath the searching light of the Son of Cod. The testimony ol every Christian in every land thall be searched through and through. The life in the home, in the place of business, in the streets, at home or in foreign lands. l?v day and bv night. j shall be tested l?y the fire of Cod.

Tin. doc- j trir.c- of separation in the Old Testament for the priests is for us in the New Testament, for Peter tells u? that believers are priests unto God, every one of us. The Old Testament doctrine has, however, heen intensified by the teaching and the touch of desus Christ. "And thou -halt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

"And he that is the high pr.e*i annaig his brethren, upon wiio.se head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his hod. nor lend lus clothe*: neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor dealt: himsolt for his father, or for his mother: neither shall he go out 01 the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his (tod: for the crown ot the anointing oil oi iiis (iod is upon him; I am the Lord."

And yet there i* no reason for discouragement. lu the olden times, when the priests or the peonle were in touch with sin. the ashes ot the red heifer were sprinkled upon them for cleansing, and immediateiv they stepped back into fellow?Vp. and find clothed them with power.

Recognizing all this liie lVunsyivaulu State Orange proposes to urge upon the next Legislature the passage of a hill for road improvement, ihp expense 10 bo mot by a spe"iai tax of 0110 mill on corporate ami personal property. li is estimated that this, would yield a revenue of $2,001 M.KMi, ample for the purpose. Fortunately titer, is no need of an increase of taxation to the amount of SI f< r mind roads. There is now lying in about Bin banks ami lirniu-ial Institutions nearly Sb.uyo.tKMi to ilie credit .of the Slate Treasury. Of this money S2.Ooo.ooO. or more if necessary, can be expended mi good roads without fiscal iiieouveii:?:.ee to the t'omuimiwt a lib. In order to thoroughly accomplish this work it lias been suggested thai a State Bureau of l'ublie Highways be created. with an experienced civil inglneer for Superintendent and with deputy superintendents fa No to he civil engineers) over conveniently divided districts. But the work of good roads can be accomplished without the creation of a pew bureau of the State government. There is the Department of Iuterual Affairs, with an ample equipment of clerks wlmse liine bangs heavily on their hands. It Is requisite only to apply this department to the purpose for which it was intended by the trainers of the constitution. I'y providing for a Superintendcney of ltoads as a bureau of the department, under a skilled civil engineer assisted by a sufficient number of district d? ptttios, to lie appointed under civil service rules, the official force would be complete. It cannot be- denied, however, that srnte formidable obstacles stand in the way of establishing a system or goou roads throughout the State. There ts first the disposition to ?-lii:vr to the antiquated and Ineffectual system now existing. with its township snpervisors and its labor commutations of road tax. There will bp next the resistance of the machine to any substantial reduction of its unexpended treasury balance deposited in the banks, l'uiladclpliia I'ecord. For tlie Grr*t llisbwiir. Western enterprise Is proverbial, but the Secretary of the New York and Chicago Itond Association was not prepared for the bunch of applications that the members of the Chicago Automobile Club sent iu to him. 1 'resident R l>ounld and other members are earnest iu their efforts to make the project of a continuous highway a success. The Chicago contingent will devote every energy toward securing the co-operation of every one possible along the line between Toledo and the metropolis on the lake. The secretary is in receipt of several letters from people somewhat removed front the route proposed. It was expected that sontc feeling might arise regarding the road, and then-fore the course was not arbitrarily tixed. exfr ? tr..nor<tl u-av OwlliC 1o the 'fleet of the coal ilisturhanees and the elections, nothing except routine business will be done by the representatives of the association. Already a movement is under way 1o arouse the members of Congress to a realization of the necessity for good roads. A few Senators and Representatives have Been interviewed, and they were more or less familiar with the subject and ready to consider any argument in favor of legislation toward building good roads. The movement toward securing a continuous highway from Xew York to Chicago is advancing rapidly, and only requires the combined efforts of the good roads worker to bring it to a successful issue. Not a dissenting voice has been heard regarding it. 9 The Movement in Roanoke, Va . Ti i? irmtifviiti? to learn lhat the good roads movement begun in Koanoke County .soino weeks ago has not died the death that generally befalls similar movements, hut that it is being vigorously pushed, resulting, we believe, in a direction that must hear fruit. The committee composed of tive gentlemen from each of the four magisterial districts of the county, held a special meeting at the eourt house last Monday. at which a resolution was passed calling upon the supervisors of the county to appropriate from the road levy a sufficient suui Jo employ a competent engineer and necessary assistants to make a general survey of the different and respective ro; ds in the county; to make a diagram of the same, tbeir grades ami curvatures, and to suggest any changes deemed desirable or necessary in the location of tJie respective roads, and to furnish diagrams of such proposed changes; to recommend a necessary width for all of the said roads. There is 110 doubting the fact that this is the proper Initiative. When the roads of Roanoke are platted by a competent engineer there will be shown a condition that, for crookedness, narrowness. and unusual grades, would put to shame a less civilized country.?
