For Systematic Scientific Research 1
Prof. Pearson, the English scientist ,
has been considering the suggestion t
of Prof. Simon N'ewcomb looking tc ?
the systematize ion of scientific re i
search by organizing investigators lntc 1
what might be termed battalions. Dr. 1
Pearson says that what science needs 1
at present is to get rid of most of its 1
t data and investigators with brains (
enough to interpret what is left. "Al ,
least 50 per cent cf the observations j
made and the data collected," says i
Pi of. Pearson, "i3 worthless, and r.c !
man. however able, could deduce any <
result from thera at all. In engineer's '
language, we need to 'scrap-heap

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. JOHN C. ACAR.
. |
frubjfcl: The Kir*t Temptation.
Brooklyn, N. V.?Sunday morning. In !
tlie Church of the New Jerusalem !
(tfwedeiiborgiaio. ue pastor, the Itev. '
John C. Ager, preached on "The First i
Temptatior.." The text was from Mar- i
thew iv:l-4: "Then was Jestis led up
into the desert by he spirit, to be
tempted by the *evil. And having j
fasted forty da>s and forty niglits, he
after that was hungry. And the
tempter eaine to Him and said. If thou
art the Son of Cod speak, in order that-i
these stones may become loaves. But
lie answering said, It has been written,
Not by bread alone shall a man
live, but by every word that goetli ]
forth from the mouth of God." Mr. j
agcr sum:
The gcspel d; Matthew describes |
specifically thro temptations of the i
Lord in tlu? wilderness imuiedial.dy
ifter His baptism. The form of
the narrative suggests at once- that
these stories are not history, hut are
[ arables, which picture the three general
ways in which fallen humanity
is approached and enticed infernal
influences. And when so understood1
they become in the fullest seii9e a
revelation of divine truth to men. And j
so understood they suggest at once ;
that there is some sort of threefold- i
ness in our spiritual experiences. And j
when we examine our spiritual ex- I
[ eriences carefully we are able to dis- I
tinguish in our inner life three distinct i
[ lanes of thought and feeling.
The first or lower of these three j
planes of life we are all familiar with. !
If inr-liidps nil thonchts and feelines. i
ill motives and impulses and appetites '
duit liave reference exclusively to our I
ife In this world. This we call the i
natural man. %
Distinctly above this lies what we i
'all ordinarily the religious life. Its I
thoughts and feelings and motives (
linve primary reference to those inter- j
>sts that outlive our life in this world, j
Its largest and dominant factors are
Taitb. conviction and duty. Faith
uid conviction are beliefs, though beiefs'liave
been touched and quickened
[?y religious emotion. Duty is the couJuet
thai belief or faith or conviction
! in poses ;\hat is. the dominiou of truth
iver the lower impulses and appetites, j
Consequently this realm of the life is ;
predominantly intellectual. Its dom- :
mailt impulse is love of truth and loy- j
ilty to truth. It lies distinctly above j
:he natural man and is called the spir- 1
itual man.
These two realms of thought, feeling j
ind action we can easily distinguish, j
Flsey make up the twofold life of every '
man who is honestly trying to live a i
Irne life in the world. But they evi- j
lently do not include the highest spir- j
tual possibilities of human life. There j
? another realm of life clearly set be- '
rore us in the divine word, although j
few Christians know practically much j
ibout it. It is. iu fact, the essence of
ill religious life. It is the life that is ;
tennea ana enjoinea in me two greui |
oin maud meats, to love the Lord our !
iod with all our heart and soul and
mind and strength, and to love our
teighbor as ourselves. This means
that the essence of the heavenly life is
ove and whenever that gains possesdon
of us. faith, conviction and duty
iviil all be swallowed up in love. We
ihjill see with the eyes of love and act
tlwnys from the impulse of love. Love |
joing upward to <J!od and outward to
nan will be the sole motive power of
;he life. This is the highest state of
nan. the highest attainment of human
intnre. and may very properly he
termed distinctively the heavenly or
celestial life.
There are, then, three distinct rerions
of life in us. The complete man
s a three-storied being. Consequently :
;here must he a corresponding threefoldness
in all our spiritual experiences.
And it is this distinction that
s pictured in these three typical teniptrtions
of our Lord. The first is a type
)f the temptations that belong to the
ower or natural degree of the mind,
the second to spiritual and the third
:o the celestial or heavenly.
The first temptation is pictured as an
tppenl to a physical appetite. After
the forty days and nights of fasting
lesus was hungry and there was notling
to satisfy His hunger, and it is
suggested by the tempter that He conrert
into loaves of bread some of the
stones that covered the ground.
This physical picture lias very evilently
a spiritual meaning, which
teals, not with the mere body and its
cravings. nuc wiui me esseimai iusui
iiid his cravings and requirements. It
[leais with the most universal fact of
human nature, hich is hunger. From
the merely material activities of his
physical body up to the highest activ- j
Ity of his spiritual nature man is, in a
sense, a mere bundle of hungers. And
this is true because he is merely a recipient;
and every minutest vesicle of
both body and soul is a mouth clamoring
to be fed. But it is only a small
part, of this universal hunger that we
are conscious of. As in the body some
of the more general orgaus make us
conscious of tlieir needs when they are
not supplied, while the needs" of the
mimhftv'nec c m o 1 !<-if /\vrro nc <1 n/1 rocloinc
I ?4lJ?llltrl VIg?lU0 tlUVl
ire met by physical processes that wo
arc wholly unconscious of, S9 of the
universal hunger ol the spirit only i
small part ever falls within our consciousness.
And this is so because the
Lord requires of us only so much as
He must require of us to make us
images and likenesses of Pimself. To
be that it is necessary that we should
contribute to our life a certam measure
of activity aud efiort and co-operatlou
and reciprocation. And to secure that,
some of the more external hungers of
the body and of the mind appeal to
us strongly enough to prompt us to
such action as is necessary to satisfy
thpni.
But in our present condition all the
hungers of our natural life are more or
less perverted hungers, which seek for
perverted and unhealthy satisfactions.
And this we begin to recognize as soon
as we begin to see what the true life
of man is. The first evils the truth
reveals to us are the indulgences of
wrong appetites, and passions, and
rravincs. and 11ip lirst task the truth
imposes on us is to refuse to these
wrong hungers or cravings the satisfaction
they demand.
This repudiation of those cravings
we should find a hard task to begin
with if we were not helped in it l?y a
counteracting hunger. Among the
sweetest of the satisfactions it: life* Js
the approval of those whose approval
we prize. And our strong hunger for
this approval makes it easy for ns to
discard reprehensible indulgences and
pleasures.
This is, of course, a purely seltlsh
aim. and yet any aim or effort, even so
dubious a one as this, to see what is
evil in our life and to put it away,
opens the mind to more and higher
truth, -which brings all things into
clearer light, and this higher truth
makes clear to us that disreputable
evils are not the only evils we have to
deal with, that there are many practices
that are approved ^and freely
m
T
indulged in by thelworld about us that
are sins we no lo|ger tolerate, so our
clarified conscience now demands that
our life shall be purged of these conventional
and reputable evils. And in
this task we are not helped by the approval
of public opinion. But there is
another selfish satisfaction that does
help us. It is the sweet satisfaction
of feeling that we are good and are
deserving of all the happiness the Lord
lias in store for all who are good. This
feeling takes many forms in the uiind,
but in general it is the feeling that we
are as virtuous as most of those we {
know and far more virtuous and kindly
and self-denying than very many
whom we know. This is the sweetest
satisfaction our merely natural life is
capable of, and in many wonderful
ways it holds us up to the work of re- j
pressing external evils and discarding i
all lower satisfactions.
So. when the hunger for a better life |
has been thus far quickened in us. this j
is tne way in wuicii we are always
templed to satisfy it. It is described
here as a temptation to make the
stones of the desert into bread. The
stones of the desert are the aspect that
spiritual trntji takes on when it is apprehended
by the natural mind or the
self-life. This is the aspect that spiritual
truth takes on in the letter of the
word, which is truth adapted to the
lowest spiritual needs of men. There
reward and punishment are presented
as the motives for refraining from evil
and doing right. It is an appeal to
what is called enlightened selfishness.
This aspect of the truth is necessary
to start us on the way toward the
heavenly life. But to convert these
stones into broad is to be permanently
satisfied wRh these purely selfish aspects
of truth and with this selfish
stage of right living, this doing right
and refraining from wrong doing for
the sake of the approval of others, and
for the sake of the self-satisfaction it
affords. To stop at this point, to be
content with this attainment, which is
a temptation that confronts us all
again and again, is to appropriate to
ourselves the letter that killetb and to
shut our eyes to the spirit that niaketh
a live, r or u is mailing ine leuer vi
the food into bread in this way that
makes it destructive of spiritual life.
The Lord's answer to the tempter
teaches us how we must meet this
temptation. This answer is quoted
from His words of warning to thecliil-.
dreu of Israel when they had just
passed through their forty years of
trial in the wilderness. To them He
said. "Thou shalt remember all the
ways which the Lord thy God hath led
thee these forty years in the desert.
* And He suffered thee to hunger
and fed thee with manna, which
thou knewest not: neither did thy fathers
know that He might make thee
know that man doth not live by bread
only, but by every word that proceeded
out of the mouth of the Lord doth
man live."
These words, now quoted in part by
the Lord as His reply to the tempter,
contain the truth by which this temptation
must always be met. The temptation
is to permit ourselves to rest in
the sense of our own goodness and to
go on multiplying our good works of
all kinds and refraining from all outward
evils, that we may multiply our
spiritual riches and increase and deepen
our self satisfaction.
This is the besetting temptation in
it-- ?1:_! li/? Ac tlio
llJt* Ifll^iuus iiir ui inn UIXJV. Ail iMv
old falsity of faitli alone lias faded out
of religious belief, this more subtle and
attractive falsity lias taken its place.
Goodness is everywhere being made
tbe test and measure of religious character
with very little regard for the
quality of the goodness.
To this temptation the divine answer
is: "Not by bread alone shall man live."
Man can 110 more live by charity or
good works alone, which are symbolized
by bread than he can live by faith
alone. What man must live by is every
word that goeth forth from the mouth
of God. We live by getting our life
Into its true relation to the divine life.
And that cannot be done by recognizing
this or that particular aspect of
truth and trying to live by that. It
can be done only by an earnest and
persistent effort to shape all our thinking
and all our willing and all our doing
by every word that goeth forth
from the mouth of God.
The J>l?conrace<i Sinn.
Discouragement cuts the nerve of
present effort and darkens the sky of
hope for better tilings. The evangelist
who coined the phrase, "God cannot
use a discouraged man." was a wise
preacher: he might also have said that
the world has no use for a discouraged
man. Booker T. Washington, in his
"Up From Slavery," gives the keynote
of his own success in the following sensible
words: "I do not recall that I
ever became discouraged over anything
that I set out to accomplish. 1 have
begun everything with tbe idea that
1 could succeed, and I never had much
patience with the multitudes of people
who are always ready to explain why
one cannot succeed." Such a spirit

a young man who was to come, an old
prophet said: "He shall not fall or bq

fail was because he refused to be discouraged.

not be discouraged." had a big message

"Of the many things that have

career. I think the one that has most
forcibly impressed itself upon my
memory is the fact that I subbed for 1
Larry at second base last season," |
says Elmer Flick, the Cleveland ball
tosser. "When Armour told me to
go out to second and see how well I
could do, I never felt queerer in my
life. A most peculiar feeling went j
over me. I thought to myself. 'Here
I am, going out to take the place of
the greatest second baseman in the
business?me. a man that has never
played second base and has not put
the ball on a runner since the days
I used to catch about the lots.' Well.
I went out. and, as you know. I played
second base for a week without making
ar. error. My, but I felt iunny. In I
fact, I used to laugh to myself out
there around second to think that I, i

Over 30,000,000 PnblUIied.
An Oakland lady who has a taste for
good literature, tells what a happy
time she had on "The Road to Wellvllje."
She says:
I drunk coffee freely for eight years i
before I began to perceive any evil effects
from it. Then I noticed that I
was becoming very nervous, and that
my stomach was gradually losing the
power to properly assimilate my food.
In time I got so weak that I dreaded
to leave the house?for no rea#n whatTver
but because of the miserable condition
of my nerves and stomach. I
attributed the trouble to anything in
the world but coffee, of course. I
dosed myself with medicines, which
in the end would leave me In a worse
condition than at first. I was most
wretched and discouraged?not 30
years old and feeling that life was a
failure! 0
"I had given up all ho^V of ever enjoying
myself like other people, till one
day I read the little book, "The Road
to Wellville." It opened my eyes, and |
taught me a lesson I shall never forget
and cannot value too highly. I immediately
quit the use of the old kind of
| coffee and began to drink Postum Food
; Coffee. I noticed the beginning of an
improvement iu the whole tone of my
| system, after only two days use of the
new drink, and in a very short time j
realized that I could go about like |
other people without the least return of j
the nervous dread that formerly gave I
me so much trouble. In fact, my nerv- j
ousness disappeared entirely and has |
ucver returned, although it is now a |
| year that I have been drinking fostum j
Food Coffee. And ray stomach is now !
like iron?nothing can upset it!
"Last week, during the big Conclave
in ?San Francisco, I was on the go day

Juit Discrimination In Railway Rate*.
All railroad men qualified to spea
j ?n the subject in a responsible wa
: are likely to agree with President San
| uel Spencer, of the Southern Railway
i when he says: "There is no division c
i opinion as to the desirability of stoj
| piug all secret or. unjustly discriniiui
tory devices and practices of whatsi
ever character."
Mr. Spencer, in speaking of "nnjus
]y discriminatory" rates and device:
! makes a distinction which is at out
apparent to common sense. There ina
be discrimination in freight rati
which is just, reasonable and imp**r:
r tively required by the complex con
mercial and geographical couditioi
with which expert rate makers have t
deal. To abolish such open anil hone:
discrimination might paralyze the ii
dustries of cities. States hnd whole se<
tions of our national territory.
This distinction between just an
unjust discrimination is clearly recoj
ni?f?d in tlm conclusions of the Into:
national Railway Congress, publislie
yesterday:
'Tariffs should bo based on eommerci:
principles, taking into account the specie
conditions which bear upon the eommerci
value ot the sendees rendered. With tt
reservation that rates shall be charged witl
out arbitrary discrimination to all shippe:
alike under like conditions, the making <
rates should as tar as possible have all tt
elasticity necessary to permit the develo]
ment of the trafflc'and to produce the grea
est results to the public and to the railroac
themselves."

but he grew worse, wasting to a skeleton

THE MODERN FARMER.
How He Lives as Compared With Ftftj
Tears Ago.
THE farming life of to-<lay, as
contrasted with that of iiftj
years ago, is a paradise ol
comfort and convenience. Tin
lonely loghouse, remote from inarke
and devoid of advantages that a liali
cycle of time has made possible, wouli
scarcely appeal to the prcieut dnj
farmer.

His mail is delivered daily. He lia;
telephonic connection with the buyiu;

opportunities for marketing to advan

ture, constructed of wood, brick o
stone, and well furnished. He ha
modern plumbing and modern healing
and with the advent of acetylene gas
he has modern lighting. At night hi
home Is as attractively illuminated a
that of his city brother, for it Is a sug
gestive fact that "acetylene for conn

er that of the SO.OttO users of acety
lene gas In the United States the farm

Ever seeking the best, he has not hesi

wonderment, has no greater exempli

Are the Packer* Receiving Fair Play?
When the Garfield report on tli<
business methods of the packers ap
peared, after eight months' investign
tion. it was severely criticised atu
roundly denounced. After three month:
of publicity it is significant that tliosi
who attempted to discredit it liav<
failed to controvert the figures con
tained in that exhaustive document
The pulilic is beginning to notice tliii
omission, and the feeling is rapid):
growing that the sensational charge
out of which the "Beef Investigation'
arose were without foundation. If tin
official statements of the report an
susceptible of contradiction, a goo<
many people are now asking why th
facts and figures are not furnished v
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most o
the charges contaiu unfounded sensa
tionnl assertions. A flagrant exarnpl
of this appeared in a recent article ii
an Eastern magazine, to the effect tha
"forty Iowa banks we forced to clos
their doors in 19(w4 by the Bee
