Fowerful Appeal For the Higher and Better Life We AM Should Lead. Brooklyn. X. Y.-Tho Rev. Dr. M. E. iarlan. pastor of tlio I* irst Church of 'lirist. Sunday morning gave another f his series of sermons on "Problems f Power For Plain People," the spcial subject being "The Problem of I orally Healthful Amusements." In Vln ttary lie offered prizes for best relies to questions covering the several roblenis to be discussed. Ho sent a rinttd list of these questions to sevra.l hundred people over the country, 'he sermon was based largely on the plies he received. The text was from Vclesiastes iii:4: "There is a time t<> nigh and a time to weep." Among titer tilings he said: A few years ago. when a certain sttposed ornament (V) to French society as asked what he did. he replied: My business is to amuse myself." ite history of the church is but a his>ry of the struggle between men and omen like this Frenchman, on tl\e ne hand. and. on the other hand, those ho have had no .dace for a smile in neir religion. The woriu lias never teked the stole and the sensualist. To ie stoic the church lias seemed very ix. To the sensualist she has seemed >o strict. The church always has iood and always will stand against ie purposeless lives of both of these streines. If to the mere pleasure H'ker the church has seemed dogmatic ml damnatory, we must remember lat pleasure has been tyrannical and razen and absurd. To him who worliips the god of pleasure, even otlierise harmless pleasures become dissiation till the world is full of the inpid in heart and the vile in character ml the purposeless in life. Hod did ot make the world for more amuseleut. neither did He design that it Iiouhl bo run by the more rollickers. et desire for food and clothes is no tore nil indication of the physically bust and normal man than are the eiuands for laughter and amusement idices of the normal, mental and spirunl man. The question is not. thereire, one of amusements, but what ind and how much. X'o doubt that the cburrh lias often eon too closely allied with the stoic i exercising damnatory power respectig all forms of amusements. But be>re we censure too severely let us take ito account the conditions of lior early istory. The church began her mighty larch of conquest in cities where all >rts of lewd and obscene amusements ere the rule? Koine. Corinth, Epliens. etc. In these cities the god of leastfre held such iiigli carnival that idustry was throttled and domestic fe was weakened. Koine's great amliitheatre, seating 3S.1.000 people, could :isily be filled with the morbid crowd nit measured the worth of the amuselents by the fury of the entertainlent and by the number of men and orses slain merely for their arnuseicnt. The Emperor Trajan gave a iree months' show in which 10,000 len and 11.000 beasts were slain to muse the very best people of Kome. ten would appear on the stage dressed orgeously, when suddenly Haines ouhl burst forth all over their bodies nil they would die writhing in agony f flames to the delight of the god of leasuro. Often Christians were forced [Ketators and often unwilling particiants in these brutalities. "Food and an** was the hilarious cry of these musenieut loving icopV that haunted itli its awful hiss the ears of the ying gladiators. The popularity of ie ruler was measured by his willingess and ability to satisfy this cry for food and fun." An unwilling witess to those debaucheries in the name f amusement, can we wonuer mui rmiing front, such a birthplace the hurcli has at times been extreme? Gibbon tells ns that in the days of lome's worst famines site dismissed ej senators and patrons of art. but to atisfy her trod of pleasure she kept er vile vestal virgins and her G000 ancers and singers of the lewd sort > amuse her as she staggered down to eatli or lay in the last convulsions of er dying hour.

The mere vagabond n the streets with his hand organ and nonkey, or the grewsome and discordnt "curb stone baud" take in the revnue that belongs to laundryman or :rocer. as thougli these mountebank lispensers of amusement were more leserving than they. Seeing how Rome amused herself to leath and how Spain amused herself vith her bull fights out of one of the irst rank powers into the imbecile keleton she now represents. 110 wonler our Puritan fathers were fearful if this pleasure god. He is blind who ;ees no inconsistence in the Pnritancal bans on all forms of amusement ill a man must be or at least appear utserable before lie can be happy. But le to-day is worse than blind who iocs not see. and especially in city life, hat the god of pleasure has become laringly despotic and that she tyraulieally Invades every shrine of hei levotees. and that no day is too sacred "or her ribaldry and coarse jest. By wandering to the ruinous passion that would rather laugh than to think she would leave our fair land tenantless ol he serious and the wise and fill it with a race of grinning pigmies. Any imusement that hinders me from doinj; my duty in my business during the week or makes me careless of my duties in the house of Cod or Mint would make serious thoughts a Info is to bt avoided. Foster nor harbor no amuse inent that cannot grow consistently on the same stem with the Christian reigion. The godless Coney Island erase rentes a morbid desire for Sunday imusement that as a vampire feeds fat >n the vitals of our lioly religion. I know there is danger of being mismderstood when I speak in detail. The nan with a crabbed religion will think lie too lax. while the man without onviction will think me too strict. A'ith a zeal worthy of a better cause he church in the past has picked out i few amusements upon which it has >laced the ban and left others with 10 censure. It has decreed that dafcng and card playing and the theatws vere of themselves sinful and devilish ind were worse than are "Jacob and iutb," or "Blind Buff," or the I more widely practiced game of miserliness or covetousncss or "fibbing." It is a hopeful sign that the present tendency of the church seems to be to give more attention to the affirmative side of life rather than to act as Pharisaical judges on the negative. "Thou slialt not," is like a prop to keep a dying tree from falling, but it takes : more than a prop to make a live tree grow. While the prop may have a place it is not nearly so important as I some TimiK. j I am not a theatregoer nor ballroom : frequenter, neither do I know even the I names of the different "playing cards." I I feel that I have much better use for 1 my time and money. From my observation I have no hesitancy, however, j in agreeing with those v;ko replied to I my question that the theatre and dance i and progressive euchre and cards are menaces to the development of the Christian life. While of themselves I they may not lie more harmful than the ?lher forms of amusement named, their | inlluence seems to be against them, j To the question: "Do you personally : know people who frequent the theatres ami ballroom and euchre parties who i at the same time are also leaders in J prayer meeting and the Sunday-school , as soul winners, with a good, healthful [ influence?" only two answered in the affirmative. Why? Docs it not indicate that there is something out of I harmony with these particular amusei ments and the healthful influence of the Christian life? Is it right to go I counter to the testimony of people I scattered over such a wide territory land front so manj\different denomina| tions so long as we prize ou. religious I influence? If we say the theatre as a whole is of I rood influence and a necessity for the men who are carrying the great burilens in the commercial and industrial world, then it falls short of its purpose, for the theatre is supported not by the Cargenies and Rockefellers, but mostly by those who cannot afford it and at the same time do what they ought to j n philanthropy. Most of the support ' cronies from the younger class, who as yet have no great burdens to bear. As i to why those who trcqucnt them are lot real forces in Christian work, read the following: President Eliot, of Harvard. says: "The influence of amusements may be drawn from the quality if the popular theatre. The taste is for ' tjie trivial speetacles. burlesques, vulgar vaudeville, extravaganzas, and the stage often presents to unmoved audiences scenes and situations of an unwholesome sort.*' One of the leading dramatic critics if the English press. Mr. Clement ; Scott, says it is "nearly impossible for ! 1 woman to remain pure who adopts | the stage as a profession and that the 1 stage has a tendency to disorder the : finer sensibilities and to substitute hollowness for sincerity," and adds: "I speak from my intimate experience with the stage running over a period of 1 aver thirty years." Is it right to dej ma nil amusement at the enormous price suggested by these men in the j ruin of tlie virtue of womanhood whose | profession is to amuse us and thus | like Rome's vestals let their virtue pay the awful price for our mere entertainment? If it is "nearly fmpossible" to i adopt the stage and remain pure, then : it is not Christian to demand that form . of amusement on whose altars womanhood is sacrificed. If the sacrifice was ; that of our own sons and daughters I would we be willing to make it simply I to amuse people? Tim Churn r-niiinl hn Vont tin witllOllt j using somebody's daughters on .lie ali tar. Now tlie question beeomos a douj t>le one?not only can I have Christian ! motives by frequenting toe theatre, 1 but is it right to ask that somebody's daughter run the risk of such an awful temptation as that to which the stage subjects tliern for my mere amusement. granting that the stage has many | of the most noble as its adornment and I that many of our best people patronize it V Yet if the flame of the theatre pasi sion demands such fuel, can I afford to lie a party to the transaction? I would not appeal to prejudice ncr a.et as judge 1 over other men's consciences nor pass | hard ecclesiastical laws of disbarment i against those who might differ with me. I make my appeal to the heart's i sense of justice to make man or woman ; who may have enough of the Chrlstly ; ambition to make the most of life by ! shunning that form of amusement of any kind which runs such tremendous rioks. Are yon asking me if a man is to be deprived of his rights just because he i is a Christian? Tills is a good question : over which to pause and ask for the c if ntlirrc nnl wlmt are mv I "rights." but what are my duties anil I obligations? A Robert LouU SteTenson's Prayer. Lord, l>ehold our family here assemI bled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us, for the peace accorded us I this day, for the hope with which we | expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies, that make our lives delightful; for our friends In all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle, j Let peace abound In our small company.

Subject: The StilTerlnji Savior, ba. lli., IS I to liil., 12?(iolden Text, Isa. 1111,, (?? Memory, Verses 4-C?Commentary on the Day's Lesson, I. The humiliation and exaltation of ! the Savior (vs. 19-15). The main idea of the whole passage is the unexampled ; contrast between the present and past degradation and the future glory of Jehovah's Servant. II. The suffering Savior (vs. 1-3). 1. "Believed our report." The report of I the prophets and the gospel message. ' The workl is still full of unbelief. To | believe this report is not merely to as- j sent to the truth of it. but to so receive it that the conduct will be influenced by it. The Jews did not receive the report, ' therefore Christ was to them without j "comeliness." "Arm of the Lord." The ' arm is a symbol of power, as it is the j instrument by which we execute our | purposes. It is put for the power of | Cod (Isa. 51: 9: 5": 10). It hence means Cod's power in defending His people, in overcoming His enemies, and in saving the soul. "Revealed." Made known, seen, understood. The questions in this verse are strong, but not total denials. -. "For." The prophet now gives the reason why the report is not believed. "lie." The Savior. "Grew up" iR. V.). Tbe point of vision is at the time Christ's sufferings wore finished and He was entering into His glory. "As a tender plant." He grew up small and of no reputation, from a family nearly extinct, like a tender plant springing unnoticed froiWits root hid in a barren and dry iuml\ou: of which nothing great was expected. "And as a root." etc. The sprout wldeli springs up from a root. Such a sprout would lack strength and Irauty. Both figures depict the lowly and unattrac- ! tive character of the suinli though vig- j orons beginning. "See Him." The ; nf tl.Scr rofnn fn His birth nutl childhood, the latter to His lirsi public appearance. "No beauty." This refers to Ilis state*of abasement. 2. "Despised." By the rich and great. "Rejected." "Forsaken of men." renounced. "We hid . . . faces." Ills appearance was such as to cause men to turn their backs or liidp their faces with distrust. "Men avoided Him as though He had a disease Ijke the leprosy." "Esteemed Hint not." Failed to recognize His worth. III. The atoning Savior (vs. 4-0i. 4. "Hath borne." The meaning is that the consequences of sin fell upon Him, the innocent, and that He bore His undeserved sufferings as a sacrifice 011 behrlf of His people. "Griefs." "Sicknesses."?1{. v.. margin. To bear sickness is not to take it away but simply to endure it. Christ endured in His own person the penal consequences of the people's guilt. "Sorrows." Our pains. How did .Testis bear our griefs and sorrows? ]. In His sympathy. 2. By His healing power. "Stricken." The expression used when God visits t man with severe and sudden sickness, especially leprosy, which was regarded as the stroke of God's hand and the direct consequence of sin. The letfrnsy is only a strong image for such sufferings as are the evidence of God's wratli against sin. .". "Wounde l." etc. But lie was pierced because of our rebellions, crushed because of our iniquities. The strong verbs pierced and crushed arc probably metaphors expressing the fateful ravages of leprosy. "Bruised." Applied to the body, crushed; applied to the mind, severe inward agony is implied. "Of cur peace." The chastisement needful to procure peace for us. (5. "Like sheep." The figure of the stray sheep is common in the F.ibie. Sheep without a shepherd, having lost their way, are the very picture of helplessness: and this is the condition of man. "Hath laid," etc. The sorrows that would nave ration upon .us lie- | cause of our sin foil upon Christ. Rnt Christ was not compelled to suffer for us; He voluntarily made an atonement for sin. 7. "Oppressed.' This verse shows the treatment He received and how lie conducted Himself under it. S. "Taken from prison.' "By oppression and judgment He was taken away."?R. V. There are various opinions here. Some think that this means that He was deprived of proper judgment and trial: others that He was taken away by death and thus finally released from His troubles. P. "Made His grave." etc. An enigma wlncu onlj* history could explain. .Irsus was put to death with the wicked on the cross, and they thought to bury Ilim in a criminal's grave. They appointed His grave with the wieked. but by a striking providence the same authority gave permission to a rich man. Joseph of Arimathea, who provided Him with an honorable burial in his own rockhewn tomb (Matt. "7: ii7-(>0h IV. The Savior rewarded and exalted (vs. 10-12). The main thought in these difficult verses is that the Servant is to be the instrument in establishing the true religion, by removing the burden of guilt and bringing many to righteousness. 10. "Pleased the Lord." The death of Christ was no afterthought; yet Jehovah did not wish His Son pain cr evil, neither did He in any sense approve (lie spirit or deeds of His murderers, but He saw that the salvation of a lest race could be reached in no other way. "His soul." His life. "An offeriug." "A guilt-offering."?R. V., margin. "His seed." The true . T , TI.ACO .spiritual lM'Ut'l in me iui?ir. iuu.-.v who by His means are converted to th ? knowledge of Jehovah. "In His hand." Under His government or direction. 11. "Satisfied." He shall see such blessed fruits resulting from Ilis sufferings as amply to repay Him for them. 12. "With the great." Or among the great. His kingdom shall rule among the nations. "Divide the spoil." There shall flow to Him and , His kingdom the wealth, the strength, the numbers, that the strongest nations possess. Author's Eccentricities. While traveling from Washington to New York recently Ernest Thomp- j son Seaton, the animal writer and j artist, was seated directly behind two : passengers who were discussing litera- j ture and the impractical side of men , who dabbled In paint and ink.
