^HHKetter Life We All Should Lead.
Brooklyn, X. Y.?In Memorial Presbyterian
Cliureh Sunday morning the
pastor, the Itev. T. Calvin McClelland,
Ph.D., preached on "What Is Christianity?"
The text was from Acts xix:
23: "And the same time there occurred
no small stir about that wav." Dr.
McClelland said:
The name Christianity is not in the
Bible. Before the religion of Jesus
was molded into a creed or organized
into a church it was called simply the
Way. That was the name given it by
* its frieuds and its foes. After Jesus
died the young men who had been His
students were asked and they asked
themselves ? what had Jesus given
them? He had given them wonderful
words, but lie had done something
more than set them to learning
precepts to be repeated parrot-like.
He had formed them into
a circle, but the gift He had left
thei# was not a society. He had
given them?not something to believe
j nor something to join, not a creed nor
/a CDurcD. nut just a way 01 living.
And so they called Christianity the
Way.
In a little book called the Acts of
the Apostles we have pen pictures of
> the lives of these first Christians, and
these pictures show a likeness in their
Way of living, and tuat Way they had
is marked by four characteristics:
First. The first Christians lived as
servants of .lesus.
Second. Those first Christians lived
by the strength of Cod.
Third. Those first Christians lived
t in devotion to the common duties.
Fourth. Those first Christians livWi
with men as brothers.
Let us study these four points.
The first Christians had a way of living
as servants of .lesus. That is. they
took Jesus' word as law. They called
themselves His "slaves;" their favorite
name for Jesus was "Lord;" that
means simply, master, director, chief.
It was their passion for Jesus which
won for tlieni their first nickname. The
heathen called them "Christians." that
is, the party controlled by Christ. This
was not the name they gave themselves.
Their common name for themselves
was "The Brothers." But more
than their love for one another, their
subjection to Christ impressed their
pagan neighbors, and so they came to
be called Christians.
Why did they call Jesus? They had
no theology of His person. You hunt
the Acts of the Apostles from begin
? ning to end without finding any speculation
about the second person of the
Trinity, or the deity of Jesus. These
speculations came years after. At first
Jesus was an absolute Master, ami He
was a Master, because though He had
been crucified. He had risen from the
dead. Jesus had passed through death
into life; they had not expected it. and
in their Exuberance over it what was
there to do but to make themselves
slaves of the man who had given them
this brand new reality? "He delivered
them. who. through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage."
And so they made that empty grave
a throne and the risen Lord sat upon
it So the first characteristic of the
Christian way was?it lived in subjection
to Jesus.
The second characteristic of the first
Christians' way 0f living was. they be1*
lieved they lived by the strength of
God. They talked about themselves
as being possessed of the spirit of God.
the soul of God. The Holy Spirit, the
Holy Soul, spake through their lips,
moved in their hands, dwelt in their
hearts. This was a remarkable consciousness.
this consciousness of God

being and doing. The birth of this consciousness.

story as the most memorable tiling
about the way. Every individual, even
the common people, who took Jesus
^ for their Lord, felt that their life and
jjod'^ were all of one piece. The working
of "TBis soul of God. this Holy
Spirit "was felt everywhere and in
everything. By His power they
preached, taught, healed and ordered
their outward and inward life. Everything
the first Christians said or did
was said or done by the strength of the
Father-God.
The third characteristic of the first
Christians' way of living was. they
laid emphasis on the common duties.
The immediate followers of Christ believed
that their first business was to
do their duty. "The fruit of the
Spirit," they said, that is, the immediate
result of this subjection to Christ
and this union with the soul of God,
"is love, joy. peace. long suffering, gentleness.
goodness, faith, meekness, selfcontrol."
The lives thut they lived ill
subjection to Jesus and by the strength
of God they lived in the midst of men.
Now this characteristic of the first
Christians' way of living is all the
more remarkable when you remember
that these men were for the most part
Jews. They had been brought up to
believe that religion was summed uj.i
in exact observance of ecclesiastical
lorms. A Jl'H > It'llgiuu tviui.^iru
the offering of certain prayers in a certain
way, at certain times of the day,
of various washings of the hands, ol
prescribed visits to the temple, with
prescribed gifts for each visit. To perform
these and a thousand other ceremonies
was to be religious, and the
performance of these things took pre
cedeuce of all else. For instance, il
was granted by the Jews that it was a
duty to honor father and mother, but
since the commandment requiring thi was
the fifth, it ranked not so high as
the first, which required of man thai
he should sacrifice to God. Therefore
if oue had only enough to buy the pro
per sacrifice for God, he was war
ranted in letting the parent starve auc
to gain the temple offering. Now il
was men brought up on this idea of re
ligion who suddenly turned the tables
and laid the emphasis on common duty

new way was one of lift', of the eterna
kind of life, but it was living the etcr
nal kind of life in the midst of time
living it in subjection to Jesus by tin
strength of God.
t The fourth characteristic of the firs
Christians' way of living was. the:
treated men as brothers. This was tin
one thing which, next to their cheerfu
servitude of Christ, most imnresset
the heathen world. "Behold," said tin
pagan, "how these Christians love on<
another." From the very first the:
walked in the love way. They did no
look upon other men as mere tools foi
selfish gratification, as mere means foi
, one's pwn ends; they worked for others
n-jfu. ;
i interests. they found joy in their sue?
cesses ami pain in their reverses.
The Christians' first mime for themselves
was "The Brothers." And so
[ full of this idea of brotherhood were
tiny that, first off. they went daft over
. it and thought it involved communism.
Kacli man sold lus possessions and
pooled the proceeds and let die apostles
distribute the fund as each brother
had need. "Not one of them said thai
, aught lie possessed was his own. but
they had all things in common." It did
not take them long to find out that
brotherhood involves no senseless levcli
itig down of everything and everybody,
j that it involves elder and younger.
stronger and weaker. larger and
; smaller. But. though they had abandoned
this experiment, they conserved
the fundamental principle of mutual
service and brotherly anion. They
i lived a way which had as its motto.
I "Bear ye one another's burdens."
: Christianity meant walking in the
"Road of the Loving II -art."
These, then, were the eharncteristics
of the Christian way as the tirst Christians
understood it?it was a life of
subjection 10 Jesus, a life lived by the
strength of God. a life of devotion to
duty, a life of love to brother man.
And this is Christianity, and it can be
nothing else?living your daily life at
the call of duty in allegiance to the
Lordship of Jesus, with a personal
consciousness of God as a Father and
fellow man as brother.
A day came to Christianity when it
meant more than this. The day of inquiry
earn?, when Christianity was
brought into conflict with other eults,
and then Christianity got itself a creed.
The day of systematic . vangelization
came, when Christianity had lost her
tirst leaders and had to make new ones
out of the ravr materia! found among
the new converts, and then Christianity
got itself energy and organized itself
into the church. But tirst and fundamentally
was what its Founder left it.
whof n??fh4in/lni?o moilo u
way of living the daily life in allegiance
to the Lordship of tue risen Christ,
with a personal consciousness of (lod
. as a Fat a or and one's fellows as
' brothers. And this is the first and
fundamental way in which Christianity
must lie presented to and unbraced by
every real life, if it is to )e a teal and
vital religion. It must be, first of all,
just a way of living the daily life.
A man begins to have it and conI
tiuues to be a possessor of it when, in
j his home, in the street ear. in the hotel
; and shop and legislative chamber lie
makes himself the subject of Jesus
aiul feels himself to be tlie son of
(lod and the brother of every last fellow
mortal who has a claim on what
(lod has given him of health, wealth,
education, friendship and spiritual life.
To every man who lives in this way
there may eonie a creed. There comes
a time to every man when he inquires
j 01 the solemn face of life, and (lod
; and Christ what they are. And the
answer which comes to his own inmost
soul through his personal experience
will be this man's creed. And to every
I earnest soul who lives in the wav there
i will com? a cburcli. As he seeks the
conditions of his own best way of
living, as ho reaches out to help his
brothers in their pilgrimage, he will
discover that there is power in association.
a dynamic in organized fellowship
anil thus ho will rejoice in the
glorious company ami will enter Into
operative fellowship with all who own
the risen Lord.
But with all the erord and in all the
cdiumunity with other believers, religion
will still be this and this onlyliving
one's daily life of common duty
with Jesus as a Master, with (?od as a
Father and with men as brothers. Tho
creed and the church will \?o the outward
expression aiul tools of the thing,
but hot the thing itself. The man who
lives in the way will see how a man
may be able to give assent to the creeds
of Christendom and yet be out of tlie
way. He will realize that a man may
be baptized into the faith of Rome,
| or confirmed in the Episcopal denom!
ination. or received into the Presby
I teriau church, and yet be forewnudeml
| from Christ. And he will discover
how. though a man be unable to subscribe
to any formula of faith, and
J though he be disallowed the privileges
i oT church membership, if he followed
in the way. if he live his daily life
with Jesus as a Master. God as his
Father and men as his brethren, he is
still a friend of the risen Lord.
What is a Christian? A man who
doth the same things as other good
men. but with a different motive, a different
method, a different aim. The
motive is devotement to Christ. The
method is by the strength of the im!
manent God. The aim is for the love
! of brother matt.

Marketing I'otst<? Crop*.
In line with the elastic ease of the (
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hedley of Yale University in liis book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of i the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the ^
Boston & Maine Railroad before the ^
Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce.
Nothing could better show how ^
a railroad works for the interest of *
the localities which it serves.
A twain dependence of tlie farmers of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to c
ten million bushels which find a market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New England.
The competition of cheap water ^
transportation from Maine to all points ^
along the New England coast keeps a
railroad freight rates 011 these potu- jr
toes always at a very low level. n
Potatoes are also a considerable out- n

thoir normal market being obtained in ai
and through Detroit and Chicago aud "
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and
rains brought a tremendous yield of m
potatoes from the Michigan tields. At pj
normal rates and prices there would
have boon a glut of the customary markets
ami the potatoes would have rotted
on the farms. To help the potato le
growers the railroads from Michigan M
n
made uiiprccodentedly low rates on
potatoes to every reachable market. t.|
even carrying them in large inantiiics
to a place so remote as Boston. The
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
price on their polalooa ami even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston ie Maine 11aiToad reduced its ^
already lor rate, which it did. By a
means of these low rates, making possible
I-j v.* prices, the potato crops of
both Michigan and Maine w re finally
marketed. Everybody tats potatoes, k
and ti::;t year everybody had ali the
potato: s l:e wanted.
While the Michigan railroads math' P
rales that would have been ruinous to E
the railroads, had they heen applied to m
the movement of all potatoes at al. j|
times. to :< 11 places, tliey helped their I |
I patrons to linti markets for them. The '
Boston & Maine Railroad sutiered a dccrease
iti its revenue front potatoes,
hut it enabled the Aroostook farmers
' to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail- L
roads brought to them. If the making
of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt w
action could never have been taken, P
because it is well established that if a ^
rate be once reduced by a railroad P
' company it cannot bo restored through t'
j the rod tape of Governmental pro red- tJ
I tire. If the Michigan railroads and the ?
Boston & Maine Railroad had been n
subjected to Governmental limitation a
they would have felt obliged to keep d
up their rates as do the railroads of t
France and England and Germany under
Governmental limitation and let P
the aotatoes rot.?Exchange. ? P
Profits of the Packers.
There has been a great t.eal of disppointinent
because the Garfield relort
shows that the profits of the packng
industry only amount to about two
tor cent, on the volume of business
ransacted. There is 110 doubt, howver.
that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Jovernment in 1000. before the agitaion
regarding the "beef trust" began,
brow considerable light on this quesion.
It appears from the census that
he packing industry is conducted on a
mailer margin of gross profit than any
ither industry in America. The gross
nargin of profit of S71 flour and grist
nills in Illinois, in the census year,
vas nearly seven per cent, on the voluue
of business. The gross margin of
ifty-one wholesale slaughtering and
neat nackintr establishments in Illinois
vas only about one-third as large, or a
ittle more than two per cent, on the
oluuie of business.
The millers have not been accused
if lieing in a "trust." and coiubinaions
would seem impossible in a busiless
where there are several thousand
nills in the United States competing
ictively for the flour trade, but it aplears
that the gross profits of the tuillrs
are larger than the gross profits of
he packers. It may turn out that the
igitation regarding the packing Indusry
v/ill show the same result as the
[evil found In shearing the pig: '^.11

Why, when buying a book, are we inuenced

Why do wise buyers insist upon paving /

It is because the name attached is the
afeguard of the buyer ? a protection 1

This "name guarantee" we all look tor in V

Everybody knows that all intelligent
ousekeepeis are very particular about the
uying of things to eat and drink, and noody
realizes it more than the up-to-date
rocer, who caters to the wants ot his cusomers.
For instance, every real grocer knows
he reason for the universal popularity of
.iox C'oiFKK. the leader of all package
oftees. He knows that its uuiform purity
nd high quality have made it welcome in
lillions of American homes for over a
uartcr of a century.
.Realizing this he cannot but hand it out
heerfully when asked for it. He knows
hat the people accept the package as a
uarantee of the contents.
Vet there may be a few grocers left who
o not recognize that the buyer?not the
slier?has the right of choice, and they
lay want to sell their loose coffee (who
now* what it is, or where it came from*)
astead of Lion Coffee, which the cusomer
asks for, and the merits of which
oth know.
