"I discovered long ago that the very bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not calculated to give one a clear head, the power of sustained, accurate tbinkiug. I always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as weil as body after eating the ordinary meal, which diverted the blood from the brain to the digestive apparatus. "I tried foods basy of digestiou, but found them usually deficient in nutriment. I experimented with many breakfast foods and they. too. proved unsatisfactory. till I reached GrapeXuts. And then the problem was solved. "Grape-Xuts agreed with me perfectly from the beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying the nutriment that so ma-ny other prepared foods lack. "I halt not been using it very long before I found that I was tiunfing out an unusual quantity and quality of work.

T; CALVIN McCLELLAND. Subject: Jp?u?' Idea oT God? Brooklyn, X. Y.?In the Memorial Presbyterian Church. Sunday morning, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. T. Calvin McClelland. preached the fourth sermon In the series on "Jesus' Idea." The fecial subject was: "Seriousness of Believing in Jesus* Idea of God." The text was Mfltfhew v:44 and 45. Dr. McClelland said: There is no Christian doctrine for which you could so many men to) - -* . ~~ ?l-~ VnfllJ r VOIC il "* I HIT 1' i(IUL'iii\'UU ut vivu. V ing ran exhaust the name "Father/' It, I is the gladdest, but the greatest, the. f dearest, but the deepest, the sweetest. 1 but the solemnest. name men can franm > to lit God. We eaunot put too much j into the word, but we can put too little 1 into it. It is the risk of that?of pur- ( ting too little into the name "FtHher"? t which gives us our theme. The theme s is: "The Seriousness of Believing In s the Fatherhood of Go\l." i There are two kiuds of men who put i too little into the Idea of God's Father- i hood. The tirst man is he who prefers t to think of God as judge. To call God a Father, he thinks, is to enthrone in- i diligence. He views the doctrine with 1 suspicion lest it rob God of authority, 1 extract the fear of sin, anil relieve tin* i restraint of conscience. This man <ic* 1 plores the universal note in the preach. ( ing of Jesus' idea of Cod. If he < preached it he would make it an c?<>- 1 tone doctrine to be mentioned only 1 to those who had been initiated by con- t vtrslou In*to the secrets of grace. 1 The second man who puts too little i into the name "Father" is he who sees i nothing in Fatherhood but sentiment, i lje thinks of Cod as too soft-hearted to < rule, a doting grandfather too weak to 1 punish. This man has the idea that < love is too tender to blame a man for 1 edging off when goodness hurts, costs ? or is unprofitable. For this second } man the thought of God as a Father j makes life a game, the world a play- j ground and the infinite pity ground lor infinite excuse. \ To these two I bring this message ] of the seriousness of saying. "I believe ] in Cod the Father Almighty." The nr. j tide of the creed is the most precious and the most perilous for us to repeat, \ and for these reasons. s First, one who claims Cod as Father ] must be ready to answer the question. ] What kind of a son are you? Father- ; hood is something that we never think j of when we talk about animals. The pa refit of a boy we call a father. The i parent of a foal we call a aire. Here '] is a difference. The idea "father" sug- 1 gests care, affection nuil forethought. ? The itleh "Rire" conveys only the j thought of procreation. We do not ex- ] peet the coitus sire to care for liim, ex- , liibit affection or take thought for his future. But if a man treated his son ] as a horse treats his young we would ] say of that man,, he has never been a < father to the boy." lie had done all that ] the animal did for his offsprrhg, but he i had left undone those things which j make fatherhood. And those things ] .involve character, they imply faith. hope and love, they are not physical, ' hilt spiritual, activities. < By the same sign you never call a young horse a "son;" he is a "foal." \ The idea "son" suggests gratitude, loy- ? alty and obedience. The idea of "foal" j conveys only the thought of animal , descent. We do not expect the colt to ^ exhibit gratitude to liis sire, to abide ] in the same stable or to evidence obe- , dience to him. But if a youth treated j Ills father as a young horse treats his parent Ave would say of that youth, he 1 is inhuffiau. lie might do all that the \ animal did for his progenitor, but he j would have left undone those things :] Avliich make human sonship. And j ? *1.: tlu.v i tiuuxo ? utiiuv ivi, iim,? imply trust. affection anil filial submission. and these things are not physical but spiritual activities. So .then, fatherhood involves a relationship and that relationship involves something owed on both sidfs. It assumes likeness in ideas, tastes and dis. position: .it claims reciprocity in character. Can the relationship with Cod expect less? You see the idea of fatherhood is like the ruJe about 1 lie square of the hypothenense of a rightangled triangle. Whether it lie a rightangied triangle drawn on a child's blackboard or a right-angled triangle formed by three stars in the Milky Way. the rule works?the square on the hypothenense of a right-angled tri- j angle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. This father ] and sou relationship, like n*a the ma tics, ( works everywhere, oil the earth, in the , heavens. I cannot say '"Father" until 1 have , begun .to answer His call "son;" His j Fatherhood does not exist for me until I have made my sonshin exist for Him, , until I have shared in His character. He is spirit .and I raust.be spirit, too; ' something more than a body to be warmed, clothed and fed: something j more than an animal to fight like a , dog, root like a pig. sing like a bird or j hive like a bee. I must be the child of ] the Eternal Spirit, the son of Infinite Faith, Infinite Hope, Infinite Love. A Father's rights are unquestioned, absolute, ungiveu. He has the right to expect everything to oe reciprocated that He has given to us. The old fundamental need of personal struggle. ' personal consecration, personal holiness j is doubled. Life is more critical than ever. I have no loophole to crawl out ! of; the lines are tightly drawn, I must ( be in my word what He is in His uni- 1 verse. From Sinai, it is said, the ] smoke ascended as from a furnace, and ' the mountain quakes greatly wbea out of a thick elotul with thunderings and ] lightnings the King gave His command to Israel. On a hillside sweet with the ' peaceful odors of plowed field, quiet f save for the pipings of the birds, under a blue Syrian sky which mirrored its fair sun in Oalilee's lake, the _Father spoke through Ilis great Son His will for the family. Yet I think Sinai's "thou shalt uot kill" were easier to listen to than Jesus' "blessed are the mereiftfL" The King's words, "thou 1 shalt not commit adultery," less than 1 the IJlther's "the pure in heart shall i see God." The Sovereign's words. ! "thou <shalt have no other gods before Me." as an ant-hill to the snow-capped ( Alpine summit, "Ye shall be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect." Second?It is a serious thing to bellevfe in the Fatherhood of God hecause it commits a man to living his life in absolute unselfishness. Given a father, and what follows? \>nai no alchemist is a new-born babe. The touch of those tiny fingers transmutes the base metal of thought of self into the pure gold of thought of the unself. From the moment when his first babe's first cry summons the instinct of fath- , erliood in a man's bosom the man must deny himself, lie must henceforth lose himself in another. Love once a mere passion of possession is re-born a passion for self-sncriflce. Tills father has a family, and It Is the family, the home, the health of the whole which become hi? cblefest concern. Given a son, and wbaty follows? - ^ w T'v 7" " \ w ' . .. IVhat must be the true son's? concern? Inrely It Is the same as the father's. The father no more than the son. the ion no less than the father, exists for hat home. It is this mutual Instinct ?f being supported and supporting vhleh makes ns slug, "There is 110 dace like home'*" So here, again, the axiom of the farthly relationship wo call home is rue for the celestial relationship we all relf?iou. This is the extension of he old Fifth Commandment in re* iglon?"Love your t netuies and pray or them that persecute you: that ye nay be sons of your Father who is In teaveu; for He mnkcili His sun ti5 rise in the evil and the good, aDd senaetn :ain 011 life just and the unjust." Like God the Father, the Son must lave a love that is boundless. ungrudgng and gratuitous. The family, not >ne favorite here and another there, >ut all the members must receive with>ut bias, be blessed without prejudice. >e cared for without favoritism. The ;on must live so that no man can be >oorer, no woman sadder, no child nore wretched for aught he has done >r left undone. He must live so that hrough his words and deeds men may ;ee truth, reverence, purity, and ppstess the means of happiness, and he nust so live not for protit. prudence or )opularity; he must so live, though it means a curse, a crown of thorns and t cross. And if we seek to know what that nearns, what sonsliip involves, we go :o Him who taught us to say "Our Father.*' His life is just spent in gong about doing good: He does sofpmcb 'or the imperfect, the defectiv , the legrnerate, that He gets the niclj uno if "friend of publicans and sini..?rs." tie never bears a grudge, He' never emembers an insult. He never seems to see anything in the men about Iiim t?ut their need of the good tilings He iris to give away. And He gives, gives until when He conies to die He has nothing worth gambling for but His ?!oak?the cue that was pure white, woven without seam. That day. the lay He died, the men He had lived for led Him away like a lamb to the slaughter. And while they were mnkhg the wounds for Him to hang by He irnj'ed, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." In the last place, it is a serious tiling to believe in the Fatherhood of God, liccause it means that (iod's perfectness consists in His impartial love, and love is the most awful tiring in the world. It lias been slid. "Be afraid of the love that loves you; it Is either rour heaven or your hell. The lives of men ure never the saine after they liave let themselves be loved: if they ire not better they are worse. For this is the mystery of love. Its paradox? while it is the greatest thing in the world it is the most help!ess5* Fdv the love of her child, without thought of the cost, a mother would give her )wn life in exchange: and yet she must stand at itR death bed with helpless hands wlien the heart spring unwinds uid the little life runs down. A father would give his fortune, his blood to keep his son's heart cUan and white, hut all his paternal passion cnnnotfk rbeek that son's mad pace, if the boy'V lust take the bit between his tedfli ind drag him along vhe edge of the moral precipice. A son may leave home: n despot might compel his subject to come back, a father can only wait, and watch and keep open the loor. We shrink to apply all we know of the weakness of human love to the livjne. Yet it.was through a man tlifc Father made Ills love plain to ns. Ife came, the Christ, to His own and they received Him not. He loved His ov*n, loved them to the end. and yet at the pnd they deserted Hiiu, betrayed Him, liung Him on a cross. You remember the Tuesday bofore the Friday when they nailed Him between two thieves. He was standing n the temple at Jerusalem. Did He ore that fair, rebellious city? You nnv never know Bow great was that ove, Could He save that Imperilled dty? .Ternsalem had bound love's liands with indifference so that He ould not reach out to rescue her: she :nd"TPTbered His feet with hate so that ile could only stand still and watch her 'inking into the gulf that Titus was to lip. Stand close to the Christ as He speaks?you see lie is draining love? bitterest cup: He is realizing love's lelplt^snoVs. "it?is the wail of a heart wounded because its love has been lespised" and it cannot avert the doom which impends over those it loves. 'Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem! how often would I have gathered thy children is a hfn gathered licr chickens, and re would not. Belyld, your house is eft unto you desolate." To sum up. it is a serious thing to jelieve in the Fatherhood of Cod. because this belief involves sorship, and 'onsliip involves brotherboojl. and Drotjicriiood involves living for the 'pirlt ,behind things, for the higher life, the eternal kind. 011 which death lays 110 hand, on "which the grave has ao claim. For this higher life, in the Father's name I claim you. You have a perfect pattern of it in Jesus; you have a perfect helper in (Joel's Spirit, which is fours for the asking. You begin to ive the life by doing something for Use man next you just because Goil Is liis father and yours. ____________ ^ l*e?re of the Heart* If quiet and peace could only be had li.v withdrawing from the duties and >ccupations of active life, then quiet ind pebee for most of us could never Pc.
