Y.?The following erudite and eloquent sermon 011 "Ancient Worship" was preached Sunday in the Reformed Church of the Comforter by [ the pastor. The Rev. C. L. Palmer. Dr. Palmer said: History discloses .hat the worship of the New Testament is not the creation of the later dispensation, hut is the result of a long and complex process of evolution. All we kuow respecting the time of its inception is that it is as old as the human family, which confirms the belief that religion and life are inseparable. Three principal elements constitute religion, worship, doctrine and life. Worship is the attitude of the individual or nation toward its deity. Doctrine is the abstract formation of truth iuto definitions and conception. Life i is the conduct that is presupposed to conform to one's belief. Which shall be more prominent is determined by the spirit of the age. Since religion is both natural and supernatural we must look beyond the former for the channels of revelation. All creation is one harmonious doxol ogy to the Creator, but His works do not give us all the information required for the true worship of God. < Accordingly God has appointed certain ones to communicate His will. The prophets were a class chosen to instruct the people in the character and requirements of God. Their teachings are called the "word" of God. Sages uttered proverbs, riddles and dialogues while priests gave instruction in the form of law. which recognized no distinction between civic and religious life. Notwithstanding forms and habits have undergone many radical changes, there are certain features of worship that remain essentially the same. There has always been a certain place dedicated to the sendee of God. With us it is the church, but in the early times it was the temple, synagogue, tabernacle, altar or grove. A certain number of men are dedicated to the work of the Christian ministry. but in the earlier days there were nriests and prophets who labored for the elevation of mankind. At n still earlier time the father of a family or head one of a tribe or clan conducted the worship. Sacrificial offerings have been discontinued among Christians, because the Lord Jesus Christ bas been sacrificed once for all. It was not so in the distant- past. It was then believed that the fellowship between God and His people was fostered by sacrifice. The occasion was not unlike u social meal in which the god of the clan or family partook of the repast with its members. While the original idea of communion with the deity was paramount, sacrifice did not assume its full religious significance until perfected in the temple ritual. Other acts of worship, such as prayer and the vow. have ever occupied an important place, as well as music, and at times dreams, sorcery and dancing. Worship presupposes a time for the service of God. In the remote past when the people lived a wandering life, it was not possible to have a particular time and place, but when they settled down to agricultural life three feasts were instituted, one in the spring, another in the early summer and the third in the autumn, corresponding to our modern Easter, pentecost and thanksgiving. Worship without hymns and songs is Inconceivable. If we were deprived of some of our favorite hymns it would destroy one of the most potent motives of worship. The psalms were just as precious to the ancients as the modern hymns are to us, and exerted the same influence. The most reliable scholars are of the conviction that the legal code of the Old Testament was not the result of a single authorship, but the work of a redactor who compiled existing traditions and documents. This is more in harmony with the method God employs to accomplish His purpose, and is certainly explanatory of the way that our Bible took form. It should he borne in mind that it is not my purpose to present the ideal worship of the New Testament, but to study the course of religious development that culminated in the service of the Christian church. In so doing we shall encounter many things that are very much below the Christian standard. but we may not on that account ignore them, since they are necessary to illustrate the progress in which we have now occasion to rejoice. The evolution of worship is too vast a theme to cover in one discourse, we shall therefore confine our attention to its e-rliest phases. I. The ancient Semitic worship. This antedates the religion of Israel, and contains practices that would not be endured by the church of Christ, though we must not forget that the now unchristian land of Arabia was the mother of religion. The Semitic I amity lias Riven iLie wuuu >uc mu earliest known forms of civilization? Egyptian and Babylonian and the thr^e highest faiths, Judiasm, Christianity and Mohammedanism. In the earliest period belief and life constituted a very insignificant part of worship. Then the emphasis was upon the forms. The amount of one's religion was estimated by his devotion to ceremony. It was not until a very much later time that. doctrine and practice were given the attention they deserve. At this time there were 110 states or nations. The people were joined together in families, tribes or clans. They had no abiding place, but Journeyed from place to place to furnish their cattle with pasturage. The god of the tribe was supposed to be an ancestor, who determined their prosperity or adversity. Each tribe had its god. who could be worsnipea omy uy me ui'mui-i? ui clnn. If one united with another tribe he was obliged to do homage to the deity of it. Nor could the deity of one clan bless outside of its own territory. According to the most primitive conception but little importance was attached to the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. Future life has ever been a tenet of every religious system, but it was emphasized less than the present life, since it was held that no service could be rendered the deity beyond the grave. This explains the reason for embalming the dead. Sacrifice occupied a most important place among the Somites. And there are traces of human sacrifices which under the Christian dispensation have been offered only by heathen. The Semites living iu tribes or clans had a local deity to whom they ottered sacrifice. He sat at the table and partook of the slai^ animal. II. The primitive Hebrew . stage. This period covers the patriarchal and nomadic epoch, while the people were still wandering about. It is pot surprising to discover many points of < ? . / V> b . * resemblance between this period and the preceding. They were lust emerging from the ancient darkness into the latei day. God had assigned them leaders whose work it was to lead tiiem into the truth, but they were slow to follow. F.eing nomads they appointed worship wherever they were. There was no temple, tabernacle or ark. A rude altar erected out of the stones of the ground was their temple. In Jacob's family were found teraphiui or household gods. Sacrifice still retained the social aspect so that it meant little more than a family gathering at which the local deity was present. However, by this I lllic? .JC'IIUYUU ?U3 ICWV^UI6CU an me j God of the Hebrews. Other nets of worship, such as prayer, vows and dreams were observed. There were very few if any hymns at this time. The law had not been fully compiled, and a limited literature. III. This division introduces us to the Canaanitish state. Great changes took place during .his epoch, because the people of Israel discontinued their nomadic life and seltled down in the promised land among tribes of foreign faith. We naturally find that the chosen people suffered no little contamination, of which subsequent history is evidence. Sacred places increased in numbers aud the worship of Baal flourished. It seems to be a time of degeneration, for the worship of Jehovah was corrupted. The ark containing the two tables of stone was transported from one place to another. Images were erected to represent the deity, and the Urim aud Thummim were emplojed to ascertain the will of God. Sacrifice was regarded as communh n with the deity. The burnt offering seems to have been used more than any other. Prayer, vows, visions were still observed, while sorcery was losing its hold. Having discontinued their wandering life they observed the Sabbath, the feasts of the moon and of harvest. It appears, however, that they were not free from corruption. Ua/1 Ur nlonn in/1 .UUMl" U1JU uauiillg uuu lid I'iulv. umu it is said of David as a later time that he danced. There were hymns, such as the exodus song, the song of Deborah and the song of Hannah. Laws were assuming form as the outgrowth of custom. They were not written hy Moses, but compiled or formulated by him. IV. The prophetic stage. This period is so called because of the number of prophets who exercised a most wholesome influence on the life of tho people. This was done by teaching a more enlightened conception of God. Samuel, David. Elijah. Eiisha. Isaiah and Jonah were among those who raised the standard of living. The high places were still used for the worship of Baal, and at one time the worship of Baal and Jehovah were consolidated. At the time of David tfce ark of the covenant was taken to Jerusalem. and the temple was completed in the days of Solomon, which produced a more orderly system of worship. Idolatrous practices were not, however, entirely superseded, for we rend of golden calves at Bethel and Gilgal. The completion of the temple made the most perfect organization and development of the priesthood import tive. To this time no distinction was known between church and state, but the division of the monarchy in 075 produced a complete separation. The acts of worship continued about the same as in the preceding period, except that certain restrictions were imposed. Sacrifice was offered to establish communion with God. There was some human sacrifice. Praying to God was becoming a pleasure, and vows wore made by Xazarites. Oracles and dreams were regarded as channels through which Jehovah communicated His revelations. Sorcery was nnninct -tjlr. ni'fttpstS Of tilt? |jiai.m.cu -- prophets. A hymn book was In process of compilation ami the priests were compiling law. The attitude of the prcphcts toward existing conditions will help us to appreciate our theme and make its application. The prophets considered the liigt places as detrimental to the religious life of the nation. They maintained that the temple was all they required for the worship of the true Clod. The prophets insisted upon purity ot life among the people of God. especially the priests. It appears from the records that the sacred office was not entirely free from corruption. They further insisted upon the true worship of the heart. While admitting the place of forms, they contended that the forms must be spiritualized. The flewartl of Earndtnesn. Christ met multitudes of men In Jericho one day. Put so far as we know He picked out only two for special blessing. The reason was that the^e two were the most in earnest. Bartimeus would he heard, though others tried to hush his voice: Zaeefieus would see. tlioueh the crowd over topped him. So these two won the rewards of earnestness.

"He's so stubborn," replied the little teacher. "A rabbit stubborn! Why, child, I never heard of such a thing. What is he stubborn about?" "I'm trying to teach him the multiplication table, and he Just won't try to learn, nor even say it over after me. Now, you say it, sir, 'Three times two are six?fhree times three are nine.'" But the rabbit die n't say it, and again auntie inquirer into her little niece's conduct as two or three more cuffs were administered to the poor creature's all too convenient ears. "Why, auntie," explained the girl, "the books all say that rabbits multiply faster than any other animals, and this obstinate JIttle creature won't even go through the three times three with jne."?

Jump* v., 10?Memory Verne*. 8, 9?Commentary on the I>ay*a Lemon. I. Neheraiah hears of the distress in Jerusalem (vs. 1-3;. 1. "The words of Xehemiuh." Rather the narrative on record. "Son of Haehaliab." Probably the tribe of Judah and of the royal family of David. He was cupbearer to King Arta xerxes at Shushan. the capital. This title implied that Xehemiah was a councilor, statesman, courtier and favorite. For twelve years he was Governor of Judea, leading a great religious revival and rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. At the end of twelve years he went back to Persia, but after a time he again returned to Jerusalem and effected some reforms there. ' Month Chisleu." Ninth month, corresponding to the end of November and the beginning of December. The Hebrew months varied according to the moon. "Twentieth year." Of the reign of Artaxerxes Lougimanus, who reigned from B. C. 465 to 423. It was under this king that Ezra was granted letters to go to Jerusalem. 2. "Hanani." His own brother, to whom he afterward gave the charge of the gates of Jerusalem (chapter 7:2). "Came." From Jerusalem to Shushan. "I asked them." Inspecting Jerusalem and its people. "That had escaped." From captivity. "Which were left." The word "left" points more specifically to such as survived the persecutions* to which the community at Jerusalem had been exposed. 3. "In the province." OfJudea. now a province of the Persian empire. "Great affliction and reproach." Their subjection to Persia forced itself on the Jews at every turn. The tribute imposed on them was a heavy buyden to a poor people. Jewish recruits had doubtless been forced into the Persian armies. The country was pillaged in open day. and many Jews were carried into slavery by nightly surprises, while the corpses of murdered men were often found on the road. "Wall?down." The wall and houses had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar more than 140 years before (2 Kings 25:10), and their rubbish still lay in sight They were partially rebuilt at one time (Ezra 4:12i. The neighboring races, infuriated at the rejection of their friendly offers of assistance by Zerubbabel, years before, and still more so by Ezra's recent act in sending back to their homes all the wives of non-Jewish ?

Nehemlab prays for help (vs. 411). 4. "Wept." Perhaps now for the first time a deep, keen sense of his people's woes came over his soul. , "Mourned." Over the condition of his j people, the desolation of the holy city, the reproach upon the name of God, nd the sins which had brought them j to this low estate, which had not yet been put away. "Certain days." From Chisleu to Nisan, four months, until the king noticed his grief. "Fasted." A token of the genuineness of his sorrow. "Prayed." In earnest, protract- i ed prayer that God would favor the purpose which he seems to have secretly formed of asking the royal permission to go to Jerusalem. 5. "Beseech Thee." The prayer of Xehemiah. deserves critical study as a model of blended adoration, invocation, confession, supplication and confident anneal. "Covenant and mercy." Cove nunt refers to God's definite promises. Mercy refers to His loving character, which gives more than (s pledged. 6. "Ear?attentive?ears open." Let Thine ear hear our confession and mercifully pardon. Let Thine eye behold our suffering and send speedy succor. "Day and night." His grief was doubtless increased at the thought that all this .evil existed in spite of Ezra's work. He withdrew from his court duties and spent a time iu retirement in mo^t sincere sorrow. "I and my father's house." Neheiuiah had a clear sense of his identification with his people in sin as in misery. 7. "Dealt very corruptly." Some of these sins are mentioned in Nell. 5:1-7. 10, 11; 13:15: Ezra 9:1; 2 Chron. 35:14-17. "Commandments." The moral precepts by which out lives should be regulated. "Statutes." What refers to tie rites and ceremonies of thy religion. "Judgments." The precepts of justice relative to our conduct to each other. S. "If ye transgress." This is not a quotation, but a reference to the general sense of various passages, such as Lev. 26:27-30; Deut. 28:45-52. etc. The fact that God had fulfilled His word of threatening was a proof that He would fulfill His word of premise. 9. "Turn unto Me." When we turn to sin God turns to discipline; when we turn to righteousness. He turns to mercy. "Gather them." God had a place devoted to His people: this promise had already been partially fulfilled. 10. "Toy servants." Who will devote themselves to do Thy will. "And Thy people." With whom Thon hast made covenant. They are the descendants of those whom Thou hast delivered from Egypt. 11. "Who desire." [-True desire* ire;. 1.

One of the wealthy residents in the Wicker park district is a manufacturer who from a street peddler worked himself up into position and has accumulated money so that his neighbors estimate his wealth at about $300,000.

A few days ago some of his friends, in the presence of i reporter urged the manufacturer to ell jome of his experiences so that >n irticle might be published about hi y Pulling out some old tax receipts he said: "It might be nice to get my name in the paper and a writeup ; which you think might help me so\ cially. If you print, however, that I am worth $500*000 then the board of review will raise my taxes.
