the 1^^ ft?V. DFL LYMAN ABBOTT. - Vjcf: Th* Kttr Preunt OixUThf Coal "Toward Which the Transition of Tho o!o;y Should Lewd Us?Inward AapiratiuM an i Longings the Voice of God l&KOOKLTN. NvY-?The Rev. Dr. Ljrman Abbott occupied The pulpit in the Church of the Pilgrims Sunday morning in the ab wtKx* of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. 11. P. Dwev. Dr. L vman Abbott's subjecc was, *"TSre Ever Present God," and he took torties *e^t. Romans. x:t>-7-8: "Rut the right* ?msncss which is of faith speaketh on this wise: say not in thy heart \vho shall asavml into heaven (that is, to bring Christ ftoio above) or. who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead), but what saith U? The word is nigh thee, it is in thy mouth aai.i m thy heart; that is, the word of Sakh which we preach." He said: Tit? "word" in the New Testament wxq?. God speaking. A friend sits by your side in absent-minded meditation, fcis speech reveals the soul of man. the word of God reveals the,unknown GoA to us. We have not to go to the drpths te find the manifestation of God is srS about us and wit'iin us. We are all fa ulnr with the statement that we are roing through a transition in theology, if were only a transition in theology it wreak) not disturb us much. We could Ifcwve the theologians to study the theology ?1 the future for themselves. But it is also a transition in religious experience. I am j mmr that the dlder members of this con-1] tpegation can trace in their lives, more or tea, a change, not simply in their intellect- J ?tid opinions of religion, but in thefc really wttal religious experience. We ind to tkrwk, in our boyhood, of God asVCing astting on tlie Great White Throne, with the angels gathered about Him and sinmng t? Hi?. He was far awav. We sent our >pT*ycP8 up to Him by a kind of spiritual wireless telegraphy. asking for things, and unmctimes He would give us those things awi sometimes He would not. Rut this wax our experience of prayer, and that was | ?*t notion of the answer to praver: and fc? faraway God, sitting on the Great Wbite Throne, had revealed Himself to men through the Bible and through the Christ. It was a great historic revelation, acwd wx.- went back, more or less conscious of tViart revelation of the faraway God in the faraway historic time, and we went to that Bible to find out what it told us re' poeling God's law. of what was required -of xis, and the things with respect to Cod s grave, what He would do for us, and ih many of us that experience has not | wkuged. The picture of the great King has grown dim and indistinct, or disappeared altogether, and remains, if it re( eaies at all. as a recognized picture and not a reality. And '.hat Christ, who *on? to us a mediator between Hod and ami, a revelation of the faraway God. has aim grown faraway. That is. we have taome to recognize that He is a great historic figure\und we arc, mon1 or less, perplexed as to what His revelation is of the 'sBtwwwy God. and what His relation to us ,?e, and our pravers have changed and our . oonception of the Bible has changed, and wee van no longer take a text out of the Ifible ard rest upon it as a final and absolute authority. If we try, perhaps some nc<v?ed and some fall. What I Jo want this morning is to point out. not what has taken place, but to imdicatc the goal toward which this transition should lead us; what is the Promised "Land toward which we should look; what m the relixious experience we may hope for in the future to take the place of this efigious experience of the past, that has Cwn dim and indistinct and which is only f believed. In the first place. I am sure that, while we have been undergoing in is change, forces without the church have , teen bringing to us a larger, if a vaguer, conception of God. God does not work through the church; He does not cpeal; only through the preacher. Religion ,? not a spiritual conduit through which the water of life is brought down to man. grace of God does not come in nartaealaf ehsjinels of grace alone. The Bible it falls like a gentle rain. It is universal. and we may look outside the church sura among the forces that we have eonsocKTed forces for skepticism, for the forces which are giving us a more indefinite idea f -religion and. I think, a nearer view of God. I am not going to try to atate the -rcsaon, I am only stating the fact. Herbert Spencer has summed up in a single sentence vhat he thinks is the result of wacntlGo investigation and experience. .""Amid all the mysteries by which we are isarrounded nothing is more certain than -that we are ever in the presence of Eternal Eik rny, from which all these things pro eerd." What science has taught is this: JVon a-re not to go baclc to creative days to Cad God. though irf some period God texmcbed the world and put His children tmre and intervening now and then in ape-/a?1 necessity; vou are not to think of God -ttat way : you are to rhink of God as the - * v. _ iL. eternal energy nere. xes. as ever ru %ac presence of the eternal energy? alwav* creating, always controlling?in the growth ?F every flower and in the perfume, in the flight of every bird. Science * that God is not remote. Be is hej?. and you can go out into the Pnospert Yhtk this afternoon and find Sim in the brown trees, beneath the prouad. end in the hidden life that next ?prog is to burst forth: for God is life, and there is no explanation for any of the -phenomena oi life except in the indwelling wf the Eternal. If we turn from science to literature we find a much closer and more wrred and truer and diviner interpretation f>l the change that is coming over the Wnaghls of men. The poets are all pro phet*. They tell us beforehand what is *5he fate that bv and hv we shall come to. ILet me read one such interpretation. It is from Tennyson: The sun. the moon, the stars, the sea. 1tfee bills and the flowers, are not these. O, . pml. the vision of Him who reigns? Tfcrk is the world to thee; thvself art the reason way. For is He not all but that which ha* power to feci. I am I? ^?lory about thee, within thee, and thou 4?bHVst th}- doom. "Ttlakirg Him broken fleams, and a -phi fled snlemlor and gloom. ' Speak to Him. thou, for He hears, and ?pirit wilh sbirit can meet. Closer is Hp Sthan breathing, and nearer than hands and Sect." : The universal presence, universal com -wonion, n the hearts of men. as it was in the heart of Moses: in the hearts of wearied souls, as in the heart of David when he wrote the Twenty-third Psalm; in the hearts ef disconsolate souls, as in the flteart of Isaiah; in the hearts of men now, as in the hearts of men then?a living vsence: We are not to ascend into the eavens to bring Him down from a great \wfrite throne, but to look within. In thine fcecrt thou shalt find Him. "This is tuc jgpspel of faith," says St. Paul, "that we preach unto you." And so with prayer. It comes in our ? ?. a Crxirif u'ifK va^fcrnruvc?ju.">v wuio. m?u vK.*.? meeting spirit with spirit talking. Not 1fce going after something, though it may Ae that, out the receiving something, preeminent communion, fellowship, companjaaasfcip. It is this conception, into which am# of us have come unwillingly; into wrikaeh some of us have drifted, we do not know how; into which some have grown ^adually and some with a wrench from tarfikh we have not recovered?this concepitem of the universal presence which mggfct perhaps have tl e effect of a denial ?a? ibe personality of God were it not for tab? message of Christianity, and that message we undertake to couch i:i accurate theological phraseology. Because we do \ that IB^^ee, some conception that we can grasp. some humanized thought, that we make Him of stone, we make Him up in our imagination. And after all, whether * that image hangs on the wall, or is pictured in stone, or is simply engraved on our brain, it is still an idol." a something that stands for reality. God savs, "I am too great, too infinite, eternal for you to define o>- grasp. The agnostic is right in saying. 'You do not know Him;' hut in order that you may know Him I will come n*id dwell among men and fill one human life full of "Myself. a*>d. through that life you shall interpret-Me. You may thus obtain vour desire -for one you can take iJi.v-Jhe hand, into whose eves von can look and" whom you can comprehend." We are to see not onlv what God has lone in the past, hut what He is always doing. Always Hod was in His work and He always is in it. forgiving, pitying, helping. feeding, comforting, strengthening. We do not know it. hut He is always here. u>s (? and lives of men. doing what He <lid in the past, still saving to Xicodemus, "You need to be born again;" to the Pharisee. "Woe unto you that devour widows' houses;" to the weening sisters, "Thv brother is not dead. There is no dving;" to the penitent sinner, crushed by the memory ofca wasted life. "Go in oeaee, thv sins are forgiven thee." The life of Christ did not ston at the cross. I will not say that we look at the cross too much, but I will sav that we have looked at the resurrection too little. Christ's is a continuous life. That i< what He means when He savs. "I am with you always." We must realize that He is here and now in the lives of men. My convention of the Piblc has undergone a great el.ante and I ernnot any longer go to a text and toy, "That settles it." Shall I then shut th? Tbb'e tm and sav it is hut a record of pAs>. life? Xo. it is the revelation of the eternal life, the internret.:tion of God in human experience, not only in the devout but also in the undevout: not only in the believing. J but in the skeptical. The B:b!e seems toJ me like .1 great orchestra of ion men all? nlaying to express tlm musical 'ife that is in the conductor. It is God sneaking throimh the experiences of men. I believe hat God i? carrying us through a tr?nsition time fall times are transition times), and taking awav the idols unon which we rested, and which we have counted sacred, in order that He may cam* us back to Himself; and that, if wc take the experience of th? past twentv centmies and understand the message it sends, its literature. history and religions life aright, we shall find it all exnlains th?se w<wd? of St. Pan!; we are not to ascend into heaven to bring God out of the yast. nor look to the ?? ? tn look shout 11s and lumr, in understand that He is still directing ihe destinv of nations and ourselves. We are to look within us and know that the aspirations. the desires, the dissatisfaction in ourselves, the longing for something higher end better?these are the voire* of God. He "-a* always and always will be in His world; and through the church and 'he Biblo and b?- the reve'ation of Himself in the Christ. God manifest in the flesh. He is bringing us. not to the church, not to the B'hle. not to the mediator, but to Himself. He ever lives. He ever indwells "closer 'ban breathing, nearer than hands or feet." Perfect and Not Perfect. A little calm reflection and careful study of the Bible would relies*.? many persons of needless perplexity iiwegard io the use of ihe term perfection K appliet to the Christian! * Every true Christianas perfect in the sense of being a real Christian, and of having all those thines which are essential toi fonstitutc him a Christian. If any part is' lacking he is not a whole?a perfectChristian. What these parts are wh:eU are necessary to constitute one * perfect Christian it is not now my purpose to consider. It is to the necessity of ali parts being present in order to the being of the real Christian that I call your attention. Take n young horse for an illustration. If there is a foot missing, an eye injured or any other part damaged or lacking, we cannot say it is a perfect horse. But if ail the necessary parts are there, although the animal m?v h* vounsr and untrained, we say it is perfect. But there is a perfection it has not reached. It is to grovv, to leiirn, to develop aud so go on unto perfection. It mliy live to reacli a point bevond which it cannot grow or develop. It has reached its perfection. It was a perfect horse when it was young and small. It is a perfect horse, now it has reached its maturity or perfeclion. The case is somewhat simiiar with the Christian. When the sinner believed with his heart and received the Holy (Jhost he became a Christian. He had all the parta necessary and in this sense was complete or perfect. But be is young, weak, immature and needs to go on unto perfection. This perfection is before him in the person of the man Christ Jesus, and he at once commences to seek to be like Christ. All his life long he may be developing and going on unto this perfection. Indeed, no one will reach a time or a place where he can say "I am so much like the Lord .Testis that theye is no further room for me to advance. I have reached perfection." In order to see this matter more plainly it is necessary to remember I am not referring to the holiness of the Christian. Whether he has just begun to be a Christian, or has been serving the Lord faithfully for many years and has made rawh progress toward perfection, the true Christian is "cleansed from all sin," and having the Spirit of Christ, is holy in his character as God is holy. Holiness?real personal holiness is an essential attribute of the Christian. Growing out of the above is also another fact which must be borne in mind, and that is. the true Christian is readv to die at any time, and is just as much entitled to a home among the redeemed in heaven if he die when just converted as when he may become very advanced. His title and fitness rest in the fact o? his relation to the atonement. "He that believeth hath life." Re-read these plain words, kind reader, and see if they are not clear and true. May the Lord make them a blessing to you!?A. T. Scott, Withholding Judgment. Why should wc be harder on our friends than the law is on a suspected prisoner? Are not most of us quick to count a friend guilty until he is proved innocent? It matters not that our lifetime knowledge has ?> ?j I proved one's depenaaoieness, mm ? <., and good judgment; if something happens that we do not entirely understand, our silent or outspoken condemnation is likely to be instant, instead of withholding judgment until all the evidence is in. It is humiliating. a few hourR or a few days later, to learn that, after all, the friend was innocent of the seeming carelessness, or unkindness, or wrong: but this does not prevent the same quick condemnation the I next time. He is a rare soul who keeps | his poise of trust and love when he cannot understand. But it is fairer, and it iffakes j life sweeter, to do so. ? Sunday-School | Times. , The Work That Endure#.

Improved machinery aud new methods were introduced in Massachusetts last (year, reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of the roads, .Formerly gravel roads were resurfaced by hand. The gravel would be spread to a depth of from three to sis inches. Really a new road would be built. This would require months ol packing, and the roads -would not uc In good condition until this process was somewhat completed. Now a ma chine is used for distributing gravel The new treatment can be given foi the small cost of from $10 to $15 a mile. The machine is used also foi spreading sand. On the surface ol macadam roads the sand is bettci binding material than the dust fron the stone, for it is not so liable to b< blown off by winds. With a machine a cubic yard of sand can be distribut ed in a minute and a half. The com mission has also introduced a systett for using the road material which is near at hand in all towns.

The little village of Parkville, on tb< Hartford road, a few miles north of Baltimore, is agog over the discovery of the fact that two cats are buried in the churchyard of Hiss Methodist Episcopal Church, beside the grave of the late Theodore H. Rice, husband, ol Mrs. Sarah Rice, who now resides or Central avenue, this city. To add tc the excitement created by the discovery, the church trustees accused Mrs Rice of burying the cats there with her own hands, and she does not den]; the impeachment. Indeed, she ac knowledges killing them. ? Pittsburg Gazette. A Kansas man claims to have a swarm of bees that made twenty pounds of honey in three d/tys. ( shire, says: "Within a day's ride of our summer capital, Mount Washington, there are 10,000,000 people. We would like to have at least one-tenth of them visit us every summer, and in order to get them and keep them as long as we can, we are planning to improve our highways so as to make a good impression 011 our visitors when they arrive on foot, by horseback, by boat, by bicycle, in automobiles, palace car or steam yacht. They are welcome; they are all welcome; and the welcome is equally hearty for one and all." In order to enable the visitors to see the State of New Hampshire, the Governor has appointed an engineer, who is at work mapping the roads of the State, and under the Governor's direction a .comprehensive system of permanent road Improvement is being outlined with much exactness before a dollar is expended in Its completion, aAto clearly show where the permanently improved roads are to begin and ^nd, and the expense to the State for 'their construction, together with the annnat itTnnncn of maintenance. The Improved highways will aim to permeate every section of the State with nt least n well ballasted, well drained and well surfaced gravei road, whose cost, using the present roadbed for a base, will be from $800 to $1500 a mile. On this calculation, appropriating $100,000 a year for six years, the State would have at the end of that time GOO miles of the best roads In the world for light travel and mountain scenery, traversing the State from Its entrances nt the southwest to the White Mountains. It Is Intended to divide the cost of completing the roads between the State, county and towns, the same as in New York. The Governor says there is no more mystery about building roads than about building bouses. Use common, practical, business sense and conform the cost of your highway to the kind of travel for which it >8 desired. If the Governor of New Hampshire can get l.< 000,000 visitors to come to the State during the year and leave $10 apiece he has provided for the spending ol $10,000,000 within the State during the summer months.
