A SERMON FOR SUNDAY
AN INTERESTING DISCCURSE BY THE
REV. R03ERT MACKENZIE.
Subject: "The Trials anil Triumph of Life"
?The Outside and the Inside Sourcesof
Mreiisth?The Weakness of This l'resent
Day?Life a *ceuc of Compensation*
Brooklyn, N" Y.?Dr. Robert "Mackenzie.
pastor of the Rutgers Presbyterian
Church. Manhattan, preached Sunday on
"Tiie Trials and Triumph 01 Life."_ His
text v?js found in Acts xx:22-24: ".\nu
note, behold I go bound iu the spirit into
Jerusalem, not knowing the things that
ha!! befall me there, .^ave that the Holy
Ghost witnesseth in every city, saving
that bonds and afflictions abide me. But J
none of these things move me, neither [
count my life dear unto myself, so that 1 J
might finish my course with joy. and the
ministry which I have received of the
Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel ot the
grace of God." Dr. Mackenzie s.nd:
Paul feels himself set to a definite purpose
in life, something appointed of God
and worthy of himself. He is determined
to finish his course successfully. Each of
us is called of God to live some definite
purpose , to add by our live? to the sum of
the good :n this world, to do something and
to he something for God. To accomplish
this purpose Paul saw that he had to pass
through many trial>. temptations, difficulties.
He is looking back upon those
through which he has already come and
forward to those he saw he must yet meet.
Ho knew that bonds and afflictions awaited
him if he pursued his present purpose
further. He 6uw his life as a very stormy
? ir;D f-ion/ic a.-kinrhf t<? nt'r?iii.idp him
to change his course, to compromise a little
with his purpose, to adapt himself more
prudently to the ways of the world in
which he found himself, to be less straightforward,
and so escape those bonds and
afflictions that threatened. He was not
indifferent either to the dangers of the way
or to the kindly interest of his friends;
but-he answers: "What mean yc to weep
and to break mine heart* For 1 am ready
not to be bound only, but also to d'e for
the name of the Lord Jesus." Then the
calm conclusion of our text: "None of
these tinngs move re." It is difficult to
get. up to the level of Paul, he is the most
determined, uncompromising struight-on
man in this book 01 great characters. Yet
there are ordinary numau steps leading
to this level; all who will can rise.
''These things" of out text have not
Kssed away with Paul. Trials are behind,
nds and afflictions are before every man
that will make a worthy course across this
life. When you build a ..lip for the North
Atlantic you must take storui9 and icebergs
into account and build accordingly.
When you would build a boy for business,
for honor, for goodness, for Christian service
in thi6 community, you must take
"these things" into account. Last year's
icebergs have melted in summer seas, but
new oues have formed and will meet the
sailor of this year. The North Atlantic is
ever the same?a scene of storm and ice.
The particular trials that overlook Paul
may not fall on any of us, but others will
come, bearing other names, equally Jislurb.
ing to our souls. This world is ever the
same?a scene of many trials. Only a few
are exempt, oniy a few are permitted to
stand with their hands at their back and
their backs to the tire looking out upon the
storm. There are such people. We are
glad when old people can do this, but the
i young people who can do it, or do do it,
are not to be envied, but pitied. Must men
must go out and meet the storm of "these |
things '?opposition, competitions:, disappointments,
tcrflotations?meet tliem and
? make their way through them, as best they
can, and become men, and all the better
men for meeting them.
' "These things" move some men mightily;
they seek to edge their way out of the
atorin, they change their course, compromise
with their original purpose, choose
some less strenuous way through life.
Some young men form a purpose to go to
college, when the bonds of mathematics
and afflictions of Cicero's orations come between
them and their purpose "these
things" move them out of their course.
They compromise with their purpose and
look for an easier way. Some men go :urther,
they finish their preparation, face
their protession, meet the difficulties incident
to any such beginning, complain,
flinch, fall out discouraged, despairing,
scarcely living, driftwood on the streets.
Some men, like Paui, are unduly moved
h> these things. These are not spared
the storm nor docs the storm beat less
hard upon them; yet they keep their faces
to it, keep to their purj>ose firmly, often
bent like trees, but like trees well rooted.
recover themselves; oiten like William lell
going through a pass of his native Alps on
a narrow path cut in the face of the precipice.
the mountain wind blowing a gale
against him; unable to make progress
against it, unable to stand against it, he
fay down in the path, but he lay with his
face to his goal and crawled to it. Men
knowing their full share of the trials of
life are yet able to say, each in his own
measure. "None of these things moved
me." Most of you here belong to that
number. Your life in youth was not cast
iu easy places; your present life is not
spent in sheltered places. Most of you
were cast as young men into thw. or some
? feina'lar stormy community to make your
own way. You have been met repeatedly
by the storm of "these things" in business,
in borne and in your Christian life; yet you
are here to-day with your faces to your
purpose, your purpose well in hand, able to
say after a? well as before the storm,
"S'one of these things move me."
How is this explained? Take the life of
such men as Job. and Joseph and Daniel
and Paul?men who have set before us examples
of how much the human heart can
bear and not break, what bonds and afflictions
it can endure and not be unduly
moved. Take the men and women of your
own acquaintance and observation 011
whom these things have broken with full
force and yet they are cheerful, sunny,
sympathetic people, reaching a middle life
"of high honor and an old age of charity
and faith and hope?people whom it is
good to know, people who show into what
rich coinace the rough ore of human nature
caii be minted. How is their triumph accounted
for? By the fact that if life lias
its scenes of trial, life has also it sources
of strength in which to endure and triumph
over the trials.
After all, if you will think about it. this
life is a scene of compensations. On the
whole, "these things'' are balanced by
other things. On the whole, life is not ?o
bad as we were taught to expect it; the
fears of pe?-imism are not realized by
healthy men; our young fears were larger
than the experienced facts. "Oh' Yes."'
said a colored woman, "I have had a great
many troubles in my life. mo?t of which
never happened." When they do happen
we fir,d that there have been compensating
preparations in which to meet them. Tf
natuie smites the Norway and the Oregon
pine trees with its north winds it lays
the protecting mo?s on that side of the
tree. If nature allures the animal to the
Arctic it wraps and haps it (ri furs. Man
is nor neglected in this distribution of
compensation, no trial has overtaken you
wore than is common to man. no trial is
{>ut upon you more than you are able to
tear, with the trial there is some way of
escape, of compensation. Both God and
nature lay burdens on us. for life i< a dis,
clpline for character in ourselves, for service
for others; but neither (.'od nor nature
has any pleasure in seeing oar shoulders
stoop too soon, or our hearts break untimely.
It is possible for uc to hear these
thing" and not be moved, for God and nature
have ordained sufficient sources of
strength to enable us to bea. them.
Xhere are outside sources. The young
w
{ *
i: -V i
spear of wheat beginning to grow in the
bleak winds of November or March finds
itself supported by a little barrel of flour
in the grain out of which it springs. The
young caterpillar waking up to begin its
life finds itself providentially deposited by
its winged mother on some green leaf on
which it can food while yet too weak to forage
for itself. Take your own children, you
can count up "these things" of trial that
beset the child to an extent that would
make you sigh with pitv. They have come
into a world fraught with pain, privation,
dangers to body and to mind. They are
wrapt in no furs, furnished with no
weapons, provided with no stored up food
in themselves. How can they bear "these
things" and not be moved? How can they
bear them and be hanpy? Yet they are
haunv. Scarcely is the tear dry on the
little face when the wreathed smile of an
angel conies there. For the chihl also
draws its first strength from outside
sources, "God hath set the solitary in
families." God lets down on the child in
normal society the protection and provision
of home. This is th? necessity and
sanctity of the home: not only that it is
Christian, law. not only that it is moral
law. hut simple that it is natural law.
There are inside sources of strength.
Neither God nor nature moils the child,
j By 9 o'clock nature withdraw; her morning
1 dews leaving he growing things to find
new sources of strength in which to stand
' unmoved in the sultry or th - stormy noon.
, Not now the outside dew. but the inside
J sap. Nature giving the sprouting grain an
' outside supply for its first few days row
! leaves it to send its own roots into the
! earth, its green leaves into the air. and by
j its own inward activities transmute them
into life and growth. The first green leaf
exhausted the caterpillar must now move
off to find a new leaf for itself. From the
children of men. too, God withdraws (lie
early baptism. The youth must one day
leave home and its protection and provision
and bv the exercise of his own powers
wring a living for himself. If now he
is to meet these tilings and not be unduly
moved, if lie is to meet them like a tine
man with courage and strength and triumph
he must develop the sources of
strength within himself.
Here exactly is the weakness of this ?<recent
day. Every age has its own strength
and pre-eminence. The strength of our day
has been the discovery and application of
the forces of nature, bv art and science, to
our daily living in all its brandies. We
have turned the bullock cart into the automobile.
the tardy sickle into the steam
harvester, tiie postman going three miles
an hour with letters into the telegraph and
the telephone. Yet it is always true that
from the greatest strength falls a shadowing
weakness. Our fathers had but few
outside forces on which to rely. Not long
were they allowed to lie in the cradle, not
long to plav in the nurserv. Nature was
rugged and rough with them. The old
farm house stood far from its neighbor,
drifts of snow or swollen streams often lay |
between. When the wintry night closed !
ll ? ? 1 f ^ A? atvmaomonf !
in mere was no puo.tv |wvx ?i aumn..i^.., ,
no stirring procession of multitudes under
the electric lights of the streets, but moonlight
and shadows on the lonely country
road. If the family would pass a genial
evening they must develdfc) the inside
sources of the home, of the hearthstone in
the log cabin, and find the comedies and
tragedies of life on the stage of their own
minds and hearts. No newspaper or magazine
allured them out of themselves.
There, in tlicir own little world, at their
own fireside, they thought out their politics.
their literature and their theology. In J
education the schools were poorly fur- I
nished. the teacher but poorly trained, the
text books but few and serving the sue- I
ccssive members of the family in turn. |
If they were to he educated they must find i
their education bv the painful development j
of their own powers of memory and rofiec- I
tion. You have seeh pictures of the poor j
school house in which Daniel Wester or j
Henry Clay was trained, or. going a gen- |
elation further back, we may think o? the j
simple school in which George Washington j
or Patrick Henry was educated: yet out .
of such school houses came leaders who j
founded States, wrote constitutions, built |
a republic, grappled with the diplomacy of
Kurope; out of them came orators whose
eloquence, though dead on the printed
page, still thrill the reading soul. Gather
them out of this primitive school house,
closet them in the Colonial Congress in
Philadelphia to fashion out of their own
minds, their own destinies anil that of
their own nation and what was the re- i
suit?
In religion the churches of yesterday
were bare and cold, no fresco on the wall,
no inward vision of spiritual things; no
organ rolled its music to lead their praise;
no gifted voices in a selected choir lifted
them out of themselves on the waxen
wings of Icarus; no grace of rhetoric made
theology easv. Thcv were left to the rte- I
velopment of their own inward sources of j
praise, of prayer and of thought. And
what Homeric characters they were! Jonathan
Edwards in barren Stockbridge made
himself the first philosopher of nis age.
It may well be feared that the church of
to-day is doing for the young people just
what the schools are doing for them, surrounding
them with ever Increasing outside
religious props and stays?societies, clubs,
brotherhoods, guilds, aud now. to add to
this, comes the threatening addition of a
"scientific pedagogy" for the simplicity of
the Sunday-school. Some of you were
brought up in a Sunday-school where there
were just two outside sources to help, the
Kible and a question book without answers.
Von learned to know vour llib!e,
you tame out of that school into the
oiiurch and into a Christian service that
has rilled the world with Christian philanthropy.
The Sunday-schools of our children
are furnished with a Vallombrosa ot
lesson leaves?primary, intermediate, quarterly,
and the teachers with a variety of
helps, ready made expositions, to be familiarized
in the hour between breakfast and
Sunday-school. Ask the average scholar to
turn to the second chapter ot Zephaniah
or of Titus, and see the vain turning over
of unfamiliar pages. What can you expect?
How should they cultivate the inward
sources of memory and reflection
when you have excused them by supplying |
them with all conceivable outside supports |
that make memory and reflection superfluous.
Do you remember that solemn
parable of the seed tailing on stony ground,
quickly growing on the shallow soil and as
Suickly withering before the heat and the
rougnt of the growing day? because having
exhausted the supply of the outside
source. *'it had no root in itself." As
Christian men. let us lean less and less on
these temporary and childish outside supports
and develop these inward sources
of thought, of reflection, of conscience, of
high duty with which God has endowed us,
that amid all "these things" of task and of
trial we may rise as the sea gull rises
again-t drowning wave, blinding spray,
] baffling wind, rises into the calm of the
I unpei air by means of its own well disciI
plined wings.
\l hen We Return to God.
You have seen the heavens gray with
duM and leaden colored clouds, you have
-ecu the earth chilly and comfortles: under
its drifts of unmelting snow; but let
the sun shine, and then how rapidly does
i tlic sky resume its radiant blue, and the
I fields laugh with green grass and vernal
I flower.
So will it he even with a withered and
! a wasted life when we return to God and
suffer Him 10 send His bright beams of
j light upon our heart. 1 do not mean that
j the pain or misery under .hich we are
| suffering will necessarily be removedeven
for e lirist it was not so: but peace
i will come and strength will come, ana resI
ignntion will come, and hope will conic?
: and we shall f el able to bear anything
I which God shall send, and though He slay
I us we still shall seek Iiim. and even if the
blackest cloud of anguish s.-ems to shroud
His face from us, even on that cloud shall
the rainbow shiue.?F? W. Farrar.

Minced Meat Browned.
Mince cold roast beef very line, add
to it one tablespoonful of chopped parsley,
half a teaspoonful of salt, a little
pepper, one teaspoonful of minced
onion, one cupful of grated stale bread,
a little leinon juice and one cupful of
stock or gravy; put this over the tire,
then put it in a buttered baking dish;
spread over buttered crumbs and put
in the oven and when brown remove
and serve with tomato puree.
Cocoanut PnfTg. a ;
The whites of three eggs beaten very
light, a small teaspoonful of line white
sugar, one teaspoouful of corn flour. j
When these ingredients are mixed, put :
the mixture into a custard saucepan,
or a jug set in a pan of boiling water,
and stir constantly for twenty minutes,
then take It off the stove and add a
quarter of a pound of desiccated or
grated cocoanut. When well mixed,
drop in teaspoonfuls on buttered paper.
Bake in a very slow oven, as they
must not brown at all.

Graham Griddle Cake*.
Scald three eupfuls of milk, let it
stand until cool; sift in two and twothirds
eupfuls of graham flour; beat
the mixture until smooth; add two tablespoonfuls
of butter melted, one tablespoonful
of salt and half a compressed
yeast cake dissolved in a little
water; heat again and let stand
over night in a warm place or until the
mixture is very light; beat yolks of
two eggs; add them and then the wellbeaten
whites; let stand ten minutes;
bake on a hot griddle. These are a
little more elaborate than some griddle
cakes and also very good.
Brown or White Sandwiches.
Any kind of finely chopped nuts, |
beaten to a paste with a small quanti- |
ty of mayonnaise, will make a delic- j
fill! fni? nitlmr lirnwn nr whit A
broad sandwiches. Waldorf sandwiches
are made of white bread and butter
spread with a mixture of equal parts
of sliced apple and celery, a sprinkling
of sliced walnuts, all moistened
well with mayonnaise. Chicken sandwiches
are made in the same way,
omitting the nuts and apple. The ripe
olive sandwich was very popular last
season for afternoon teas. For one
loaf of gluten bread use a pint of ripe
olives, one breakfast cheese, one tablespoonful
of mayonnaise dressing
and one tablesnoonfirl of cream; stone
and mince the olives; cream the cheese,
adding first the cream and then the
dressing, and, lastly, the minced olives.
Stir to a smooth paste and spread
on thin slices of buttered bread.
For making sandwiches, bread baked
in large-size nauing powuer cans win j
be just the right size and free from
crusts.
A simple dessert is whipped cream,
sweetened slightly and llavored with
pistaehe. Serve the cream in shallow
bowls, and in the centre of each drop
a very fresh meringue kiss, one of the
large round ones preferably.
It is the present theory that one
should eat a great variety of food. This
does not mean that many different
kinds of food must be taken at one
meal, but rather that one's diet should
be made up of many different wholesome
things. Moreover, a wholesome
diet shotild not he permanently rejected
simply because it is not liked at
first. It is frequently the case that by
eating such an article a few times one
acquires a relish for it.
In table setting there is always something
new. At a recent dinner the hostess
surprised her guests by decorating
the centre of her table with a cloth
of pure gold thread solidly worked, the
border a lace design of while silk and
fine gold mesh in diamord-shape

small ferns, set in an oval dish of dark
blue china, with figures in relief representing
peasants in holiday costume. I
At each corner of this gold centre was
a candlestick in dull silver of Colonial
design, furnished with a shade of iridescent
kIhss. which graduated from
tones of light yellow to dark orange,
and then to red.
In the lighting of houses plenty of
light judiciously shaded is what best
suits the majority. The idea in artificial
lighting is to suggest the brightness
and warmth of sunlight within
the house walls. The only real sunlight
color being pale yellow, this
should he used largely. It is far more
comfortable and more economical to
have the light down low, surrounding"
and warming the occupants of the
room, and to have it standing out cold
and chill from the distance. The wax
candle is untidy, and its light is not
practicable for reading purposes, but
for general purposes there is no purer
or softer light. Many women prefer
to have their drawing-rooms un1
derlighted.
