THE DUTY OF THE MY
REV. THOMAS DIXON'S LAST SERMON
AT CHARLES CITY.
Fulfillment of the Two Great Command?
ments, Love to God and Lore to Mau,
Wai Solve Ail Financial amii All Social
Problems.
CAPE CHARLES, Ya., Aug. 27.-Kev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., preached today tfce
last of the sommer series of sermons on
the "Problems of Money." He will re
tarn to New York next Sunday and
inp ^e?work again in- Association
?xt today was, John xiii, 34,
"A ne^r commandment I give tinto yon,
th?fc ye loveSone another, even as I have
loved you."
? gs 3%E??a?ie Seiiseiawhicfr we are too
femBiaRwifii fiie Bible. We are hard?
ened to it. d? my college days we
were forqed to attend preaching services
on Sunday, and consequently npon my
mind ^c^chiiig made not t&e slightest
it ? %mp-eSsfon. Tie sonad was too familiar
-unpleasantly familiar. I knew the
theme in one sense too well-in a real
sense, not at alfc *? 1
THE BIBLE TOO FAMILIAR,
A Boston woman lay dying in a hos?
pital, and the ?arse was reading to her
from tiie New Testament.. She read the
sermon on the mount. To her surprise
the woman looked ap and asked her
who wrote that book, "That is a
wonderful book! It will make its
author famous.'* We need to hear the
word of God, it seems to me, some?
times as this poor woman heard it for
tiie first time. We need to take it lit
erally, to hear it thus and to believe that
its message is a real one t o us.
The two great commandments that
sum np the duties of life, love to God
and love to riian-love to God through
love to man-how familiar we are with
them, and yet how little we really know
cf them. And yet it is in the fulfillment
c f this simple law of Christianity that
we shall find the solution to the great
financial and social problem that presses
now npon as for solution.
The literal fulfillment of this, the great?
est commandment, is the pressing duty
of today. Obedience to it means rhe
solution of tko problem of the ages, of
the salvation of the race, because:
:? First-Love is the fulfillment of the
law. It fulfills the negations of the law.
Love worketh no ill to its neighbor;
therefore no man who loves his fellow
maa can enter apon any business that
can resnlt to the injury of his neighbor.
JUSTICE IS LOVE.
At the touch of the fulfillment of this
law every gambling business, every sa?
loon aad dive and brothel and question?
able resort mast perish.
Love cannot be unjust.
The master who loves his servant gets
from him tip very-highestservice. The
" general who commands the love of his
soldiers gets the very highest order of
soldier. The master who wins the love
of his servant is just to him. The gen?
eral who wins the love of his soldier is a
just general.
Love seeks not simply its own, bat the
good of another.
Efe who seeks the good of another can
' nc4 destroy another in the process of at
taininghis own good. Love cannot take
advantage of misfortune. At" the breath
of love in the business world the bar?
gain counter mast disappear, and our
taking advantage of oar neighbor's neces?
sities to drive a hard bargain must be
relegated to the age of barbaric compe?
tition. Every bargain counter is a proc
- lamation that somebody has failed; that
ie factory is closed; that somebody
* led fair dreams of prosperity
had a broken heart and a
fulfillment of the positive
as welTas the negative ele?
ments of law. It makes as to study
and to know each other. Ignorance aad
indifference are impossible if our hearts
are engaged. We do not know each
other. If we really loved our fellow
man, we weald make it our business to
know him. It is difficult for as to sac?
rifice for those we do not know.
LOVE AND TREASURE.
A preacher straggled to raise a collec?
tion for the heathen daring the war in
his church. 'There was little or no re?
sponse. While in the pulpit he received
a telegram from the se&t of war an?
nouncing a terrible battle, giving a fear?
ful list of the dead and wounded* call?
ing immediately for supplies, for nurses,
for lint, for food, for bandages and phy?
sicians and for money to sapply all
these needs. They passed around the
contribution box, and it came back load?
ed-piled with money and with jewels.
They took their rings from their fingers.
Women took their earrings from their
ears. They piled them in the basket,
and many of them were wet with tears.
Love fulfills the positive commands of
the law. If we love, we will sacrifice.
Love will send as oat after the people
who need as. lt will make principle,
not policy, the mainspring of life. Love
in the heart of man for his fellow must
bring obedient action in a thousand hu?
man relations where now there is eter?
nal conflict and friction. If we leve, we
are at one in wills. Christ said, "If ye
love me, Seep my commandments."
S?coml-Lovenot only fulfills the law,
bnt from the mountain peak of fulfilled
law opens the universe in which to ex?
pand and to ?row. 4 'Love thy neighbor
as thyself." Higher love than this cannot
t? required of ma?. Jesus said, "Love
oneanother,evenasIhave loved yon."
For this climax we strive. The highest
point in the development of love is this
divine climax. His love was matchless,
because it iras the love of perfect human?
ity. Jesus* greatest discovery was him?
self. Tho most marvelous revelation
he made to the world was of his
deep knowledge of the Father found
within his own great soul. But
he buried self. He saved others.
Himself be could not save. He threw
his life away in the briefest possible min?
istry. He was tender of the smallest
needs of those who were about him. He
had compassion npon the multitude lest
they faint by the wayside. He fed them
lest they should be overborne with weari
,T8ss as they returned to the city. When
his disciples were wearied with work,
he said to them, "Comoye apart and rest
awhile." And in his last hour of help?
lessness and of excruciating pain and of
soul darkness on the cross his final
thought was act of himself, but of the
sorrowing mother who stood by the
cross. Her he commended to the loved
disciple.
In spite of faults, of desertion, of de?
nial, of aafaithfaiaess and of cruelty he
loved them. The pharisees hated him.
The common people professed allegiance.
Judas to be his disciple, Peter swore
that he would never desert him, and yet
all alike were found with scribe and
pharisee in the end. The common peo?
ple cried, "Crucify himP Jadas be?
trayed him, and Peter swore he never
knew him. Even his loved disciple he
found asleep when he asked that they
watch with him while with anguish of
soul he prayed in the garden. They all
forsook him in the hoar of his supreme
trial, and yet he died for them. And on
his return after the resurrection not a
?ingie retake, only ft new joy, only as
suranee, only love.
Such was the love of Christ. It is
commanded that we shall love men thus
in vital ways; that we shall not love
them merely in sentimental ways. We
shall love one another thus in our busi?
ness relations, in our social relations, in
our political relations.
INHUMANITY OF SIN.
On what was this divine love based?
On the intrinsic divinity and nobility of
human life, that it belongs to God, is"the
utterance of God's life and is in that
sense an incarnation of the divine. Ev?
erything that is not pure and noble is
essentially inhuman. It belongs to the
lower nature, to the soil. Jesus Christ
saw in the vilest of the vile this element
of the divine. Hence the love which en?
wrapped his soul and was the main?
spring of his mission. He loved the thief
on the cross not for what the thief was,
but for what the aspiration of his soul
declared him to be capable of. Not for
what he had attained, bat for what he
might attain. Not for hi? actual char?
acter, but for the image of God, in whose
form he was fashioned.
THE WEAK.
So we are commanded to love the
weak, and the criminal, and the helpless,
and the improvident, and the despair?
ing; so we are to bear their burdens in
a boundless love that shall include the
race; so we should love with a mother's
undying hope. And, if humanity can?
not reach this ideal, human life must be?
come a starless, orphaned one. The ca?
pacity of the heart is the measure of the
depth of human need. The object may
be all unworthy, but love loves on. So
Jesus loved'the unworthy. So he min?
istered unto them. So he lived for them
and died for them.
THE POOR. ALWAYS WITH US.
It is this principle that must solve the
problem of the poor, who will always be
with us. It is this divine aspect of love
that makes life as worthy as We find it
today even in the midst of sin and of
shame and of sorrow. Bill Sykes could
slay the woman who had given every?
thing for him, and yet while he slays
her, while he brutally beats her from day
to day, she crawls back to his den, faith?
ful to that higher, to that holier instinct,
which calls in love for sacrifice-sacri?
fice at all hazards. Love suffereth long
and is kind because of the greatness of
the heart.
If we could only infuse this great
thought into the Heart of the race, the
problem is solved. A mother recently
petitioned the governor of a state for the
pardon of a boy. The boy was guilty of
the crime for which he was serving the
sentence. It was a case of most aggra?
vating circumstances. But the mother
was so persistent in her appeals, so elo?
quent in her expressions of love, that her
indescribable devotion so moved th**
heart of the governor that he wrote out
the pardon for the boy. And when the
boy came into his presence he said to
him: 4'Young man, you do not deserve
the pardon. Your crime is without ex?
cuse. But for the sake of this mother and
for the matchless love she bears for you,
and the possibility of that love working
your salvation, I give to you this par?
don."
A DRUNKEN MOTHER.
- Such love is the power unto salvation,
both for the individual and for society.
A mother was arraigned in a police
court charged with drunkenness. She
was guilty. The judge fined her $5, in
default of which she was to go to the
island. A little ragged urchin stood by
and heard the sentence. He cried to the
judge, "Wait a minute, judge, I'll get
the mor ey." He rushed out to all the
places of business where he was known.
He seen red from all his friends all the
mone possible. He told them of his
mother s difficulty; that she was to go
to the island. He secured $2.35. He
came back and poured the money out on
the judge's desk and then said bravely
to him, "It's all I could get now, judge,
but if you will send me to the island for
her Fm not so large, but Til stay longer
and work out the balance."
The poor woman, overwhelmed by this
evidence of her child's devotion, rose and
snatched him to her heart, while she
cried between her sobs and tears that
she would be a better woman from that
day for the boy's sake. The judge re?
mitted the fine, and from that hour she
was a changed woman.
A child's passionate love for a mother
had lifted her from the ditch.
Love is the fulfillment of the law. It
is the power that fulfills its negations, its
positive commands. It is the power that
opens the new heaven to humanity, with
its divine possibilities. So we must love
as Christ loved. And if we are to solve
the great and solemn problems that con?
front humanity today we are to solve
them in learning the lessons of Jesus.
Only those who strive to fulfill his com?
mand are Christ's children. That nation
is only a real Christian nation that as?
pires to fulfill it and that will never rest
content until the struggle for fulfillment
has taken shape in incarnated life.
Until the church shall learn this deep
lesson of fraternity-of love for the race
-there must grow up outside the walls
Of the church a larger church. Sud* a
church is growing today, and its basis
is the love of man and the service of
man. They do not cali themselves mem?
bers of the church, but from many of
them. I fear we must learn some of the
deepest lessons of true Christianity. As
the city must increa^ its corporate lim?
its to take in the city that is outside, and
as the city grows by this incorporation,
so the church ecclesiastically will grow
in the future, by the process of enlarg?
ing its borders and of learning the les?
son of a larger life, with its larger possi?
bilities, even from those whom they
have despised in the past as teachers.
"A new commandment give I unto
you, that ye love one another, even as I
have loved you."
An Able Tale From Georgia.
At a recent barbecue in southwest
Georgia seven strange and hungry look?
ing men were seen huddled together in a
corner of the woods remote from the big
crowd.
But now and then, while the "car?
casses" were roasting in the pits, one of
the men would come forward, get a whiff
of the savory meats and return to his
disconsolate companions.
No one seemed to know the meit-they
were strangers to all, and yet they had
the appearance of farmers who had raised
a big crop of cotton at 6 cents.
But ev^rylKxly knew them alter the
horn blew for dinner.
With a mad rush those hungry looking
men made for the table, and with wild
eyes and oj>en mouths they went to
work.
Shoulder after shoulder of beef dis?
appeared, the men devouring everything
in Bight.
Tho crowd stood amazed and forgot
that it was hungry too. Those 6even
lank men were tho attraction, and it
was not until they could eat no mere
and had crawled off to rest- or die-that
the people rememl>ered where they were
and that they had appetites.
The chief of the barbecue approached
the men and in a faint voice asked:
"Where did you fellers come from,
and when did you eat before you struck |
this neighborhood?"
One of the men answered:
"We came from this county, but we've
been a-hidin an hungry. We jes' heard :
that the war was over and that Sherman ;
was a-givin out rations, an so we thought ?
we'd git souief'
The chief of the barbecue fainted, and i
they carried him away more dead than
alive.-Atlanta Constitution. .
After a Good Deal of Thought.
A little girl who asked a great many
questions, some of which were not easily
answered, had in her Sunday school les?
son the conversion of Lydia under Paul's
preaching, and Lydia being the name *f
her grandmother, she inquired of her
auntie, "Was it grandma heard Paul
preach?"
Being answered in the negative, she
insisted on knowing who this Lydia was,
and her aunt not being able to tell only
made her more positive that it must have
been her grandmamma, for she knew she
went out of town to meetings and told
of different preachers she had heard on
her return.
Her aunt explained that it happened a
great many years before her grandmam?
ma was born, and, supposing the subject
would trouble her thoughts no longer,
tucked the little one in her bed, and left
her for a night of pleasant dreams.
A few hours later, on going np to the
room, she saw two bright brown eyes
that evidently had not been asleep look?
ing out from the pillow, and a very de?
cided little voice exclaimed:
"Oh, auntie! I know who it was that
heard Paul preach. It was Lydia Pink

A Book Dispensary.
The State Board of Examiner* Agree
on a Plan.
Thu Beard of Exatuiuers, after two
days z.ud Dights of uuueasiug labor, has
come to a conclusion about the quotion
of books and depositories, and has ad?
journed.
The depositories will be established,
but Dot io the way that was espected.
The State wilt uot opeu up book dispen?
saries xo the exclusion of individual
dealers, bat it will go into the book busi?
ness for all it is worth, and the pr?vale
dealer will have a hard time of it unless
he can purchase books at the same ad?
vantage the State eau. and eau sell them
at as small a profit as the State eau
afford to do
The scheme, briefly out-lined, is as fol?
lows, the chief points of which are given
by Superintendent of Educatiou May?
field :
The State will purchase all the books
necessary for the use of the publie
schools of the State. lu every town,
and in fact in every place where any?
thing is sold the State will try to estab?
lish a depository. It is contemplated by
the board of examiners that arrangements
eau be made with dealers in thc differ?
ent towns whereby they will handle the
books to be used in the public schools.
The State does cot propose to make any
profit, except what is necessary to pay
the expenses of handling the books
about ten per cent
It is not intended that dealers shall be
run out of the business They are ex?
pected to sell as many books to the pub?
lic as the State's agents, provided they
CUD make as good terms with the pub?
lishers aud eau >ell with as small a
profit as the State agents can. That is
the questiou that will decide whether
the State will again attempt to rub
another monopoly. The authorities pro?
pose at present to run a monopoly in
whiskey and doubtless, the same spirit
ihat actuated the whiskey monopoly, so
called, was the moving spirit in devising
the book scheme.
As far as the text books themselves
arc concerned, there have been few
changes made Heed and Kellogg's
grammars are given a back seat and an?

way to another, but these arc the only

greatly lessen the cost of books. If Mr.
Mayfield can carry it out, it will be far j
better than bis. Be says his whole aim
was to get the books to the people at as
near the wholesale prices as possible
Wbeu the State, he says, provides for
public schools it is its duty to provide
books at as cheap a price as possible.
Said he: "The reason I was so anxious
to save the people money by my plan is
thar, at Clemson College we save the
boys ?2,000 a year on books,etc . on the
same plan. We keep on hand a fu.U sup?
