THE KEGlXAil SI \1) V\ FIRE.
This Time It Was a Warehouse Aext
to tlic County Jail.
Yesterday morning at about 11 o'clock C.
A. Davis, one of the jailers at the county
jail, heard some boys cry "fire." Looking
out from between the iron bars of the
office window he saw flames issuing from
the southwest corner of the old Freeman
warehouse, which lies to the east of the
jail and is separated from it by only a few-
feet.
Da via at once turned in an alarm and,
aided by Day Jailer Dell Hutz. began re-
moving the twenty-four prisoners from
the east tier of cells. The lock in each cell
was turned and each prisoner told to hustle
forward to the front corridor. All followed
orders with celerity save one. Lewis Sa-
vori, who is contined on the charge of
lunacy. Savori refused to go. As there
was no immediate danger he was left, the
jailers and guards intending to remove
him by force if necessary.
The fire department made quick work in
getting streams on the burning building,
which was sending a dense volume of
smoke into the heavens when the tirst
streams hit the iiames. The department
not only prevented much damage being
done to the jail, but put the tire out before
the building, a two-story frame structure,
was consumed. The rear wall of the jail
was cracked, the cornice melted, windows
broken and sashes slightly charred.
The Freeman warehouse and the lot on
which it stands were purchased by the
county about four months ago at a cost
of $8500 for the purpose of building a wing
to the jail for insane patients. Until live or
six days ago the warehouse had been rent-
ed to the government for the storage of
a cargo of Trinidad asphalt seized by the
United States custom house officials. This
asphalt had been removed and the building
was empty.
A few nights ago Night Jailer John Ni-
land drove a crowd of boys and girls out
of the building who had been making it
a playground and who had been caught
smoking cigarettes about the premises. The
day jailers have also driven boys away
from the building several times. It is sup-
posed that the carelessness of these boys
is responsible for yesterday's fire.
Sheriff Albert Dirks was on hand a short
time after the breaking out of the lire,
looking as cool and fresh as a white-
gowned summer girl. When asked if the
building was insured he replied that he did
not know. Vie had asked County Commis-
sioner Bailey, who was hustling around,
wet with perspiration, and Mr. Bailey did
not know. #
The building partially burned was wortn
about $1000 and the damage to the jail will
be about half that amount.
Last night Commissioner Vidor informed
a News reporter that there was no insur-
ance on the burned building, but that the
jail was fully insured.

Captain Clark at Home.
Among the many enjoyable events of the
past week was an "at home" aboard the
revenue Gutter Galveston last Thursday
evening. As entertainers Captain Clark,
Engineers Whitaker and Sedgwick are cer-
tainly par excellence. Lieutenant Bryan
was on duty and everybody knows what
that, means to a well disciplined officer in
Uncle Sam's service, for pleasure has to
takn a back seat when duty is on hand.
Such a lively crowd, horyever. served to
brighten what would otherwise have been
lonesome hours for the lieutenant. Sweet
music was dispensed during the evening to
tiie delight of all. Dancing was indulged
in by a few, after which refreshments
were served.
The beautiful moonlight added to the en-
joyment of the occasion and all left under
many obligations to the gallant captain
and his officers for a very pleasant even-
ing.
Those present were Prof, and Mrs. E. A.

Rev. Leon Sonfleld yesterday evening de-
livered a most interesting and instructive
sermon on the theme "Samson, the man of
strength." He took for his text Judges
xili, 12: "How shall we order the child and
how shall we do unto him." He spoke as
follows:
We enter upon a study of the life and
character of Samson, he who fitly types the
strength and weakness of human life. This
evening's discourse is preliminary, dealing
with events which transpired previous to
the birth of Samson. Prenatal influences
tell upon the whole of the after life, and
in order to a correct estimate of a charac-
ter we must know something of the parent's
history, for blood will tell.
There is hardly a boy but who feels a
thrill of admiration as he reads of this ad-
venturoua life, hardly one but that en-
shrines Samson among the heroic charac-
ters and revels in imagination in his own
future greatness as he contemplates the life.
But in maturity, however reluctantly,
childhood's conceptions are changed com-
pletely and instead of enrolling him among
the worthy heroes of the past we feel in-
clined to mark across the narrative "a fail-
ured life." and a failured life it was, a life
larg<> with possibilities, but dwarfed into in-
significance by reason of lost and neglected
opportunities.
The opening chapters of the narrative are
delightfully refreshing, taking us away
from the rush and heat of city life to the
quiet of the farm, revealing io us lives
beautiful, tranquil and full of peace among
the peasants.
We are introduced to a couple, husband
and wife, happy save in one point: they
were childless, cause of mourning in those
days, of .rejoicing in these; for it is a truth
that children are all but banished from po-
lite society.
A plain couple this, people who would
hardly call forth a second glance, common-
place we would call them, and yet into the
lives of these commonplace people came
visions and experiences vouchsafed to but
few of earth's many millions. While in
their field engaged in ordinary work an
angel stood before them. The angel had
sped by many a mansion betokening
wealth, but paused not until he stood at the
door of tin* hut of poverty. Riches are es-
teemed in heaven—riches not as we count
riches. Many of those by us accounted
rich are poor, while many by us esteemed as
poor are in reality rich.
Character is wealth. Character is the unit
of value, the only standard by which to
gauge the life; the only redemption money
which passes current in both worlds. Hav-
ing all things else, but lacking character
is to lack that which enriches the lifeblood,
destitute of all things else save character,
we are yet rich. Character makes us akin
to God and is pledge and token of our kin-
ship. hence we need not marvel that to
those of pure character are vouchsafed an-
gel visits; to them is the promise of fuller
revelation—"blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God."
THE ANGEL STOOD BEFORE THEM.
An angel stood before this couple. At
this we shrug our shoulders and with a look
of profound wisdom declare such things be-
yond the bounds of the possible. We know
everything, and yet we know nothing. We
have a smattering of knowledge of many
things, but know nothing perfectly. There
is not one subject, one phase of any subject
which we have completely mastered. There
are mysteries all about us and to reject all
that passes our little comprehension would
be to impoverish the life beyond all ex-
pression. Birth is a mystery, life is a mys-
tery, that which projects itself bevond
death is a mystery. There are mysteries
to the right of us, mysteries to the left of
us, mysteries behind and in front of us.
Vision is blurred, sight is imperfect; hu-
manity's great and cheering hope is the
dawning of a day when blurred and imper-
fect vision shall give place to vision per-
fect, when the mists of human ignorance
shall roll away and when that which we
now know only in part shall be revealed
and understood in all its fullness, until the
dawn of tha* gladsome day when we must
needs feel and suffer our limitations.
You don't believe in angelic visitations?
I am not so sure that this couple did; at
any rate, we are sure that they did not rec-
ognize the visitant; they regarded him as a
man, asked of him his name in order that
when the event which he predicted should
come to pass they could render him honor.
Angels come into your life and mine, but
we do not recognize them, our eyes are
holden. Every goodly influence, warning
voice, words of encouragement are indica-
tive of encamping angels around the life;
blessed the man who hears and heeds the
whisperings of the ministering angels.
The anuel came to this couple while they
were engaged in their ordinary work. It is
always so. God's sweetest, fullest revela-
tions come to us while true to duty, what-
ever that duty may be and wheresoever
it may lead us. Think not that it is alone
in the sanctuary or while engaged in dis-
tinctively religious work that angel voices
greet us; no, no, the path of ordinary duty
is the path in which the angels tread. At
the office, in the store, in shop or factory,
angels come with their gladsome messages.
Learn, then, that there is no line of demark-
ation between the secular and the religious;
that life is a unit; that he prays best who
best serves God and he best serves God
who follows wherever duty calls.
The angel said: "To you shall be born
a son " Very significant this annunciation
of the birth of Samson. There is meaning
and message for us. This is God's universe
and God is in his universe. We are not
insignificant creatures. There is sufficient
of meaning in our lives to interest the in-
finite one. We must beware, of material-
ism. It must not lay hold upon us with
its icy grip, it must not slay our God, must
not make him synonymous with blind
force, must not make him hold aloof
from us and heed us not when we cry unto
him. Humanity can not be satisfied with
a mere abstraction. We must have a per-
sonal, intelligent God who is near unto us
Let. us noi drive God out of our lives, nor
out of the universe which he has created.
SAMSON'S BIRTH.
Samson was born into the world and
there was meaning and purpose in his life.
He came in a time of need. He came
when patriotism and courage were well
nigh spent, when his people lived in the
memory of the past and the heroics of the
days agone, yet lacked the needed courage
for the. times. They were surrounded by
their hated enemies, the Philistines, who
towered above them in numbers and in
courage. Israel planted, their enemies
gathered the crops. After a few fruitless
attempts at defense Israel settled down to
the conviction that while their caii.litlon
was bad yet it could not be better* They
needed a leader, one who by manifestation
of personal daring could infuse new life
and energy into th§m, and for this purpose
was Samson raised up.
The condition prevalent in those days re-
minds one of the condition staring cities
and communities in the face. Corruptions
abound. A large element feeling the full
force of the insidiousness of the corruption
would resist its encroachments, a few
feeble, awkward attempts, then they settle
down with the conviction that while the
conditions are to be deplored there is no
way in which they can be remedied. What
is needed is a leader, one who will dare
to take a stand, and round him will gather
those who would see the right prevail, but
who aw ail the coming of a leader. Such
a one we need hero in our own city. May
God raise him up.
Child-life brings added joy into the life.
It takes the prattle of childhood to com-
plete the home and cement most strongly
the love of husband and wife. But with
added joy conies added responsibility.
What parent but that has felt with the
advent of the bundle of innocent life fresh
obligation. Look upon the infant life. What
a bundle of possibilities lie enwrapped In the
newly begun life. "What manner of child
will this be?" is the question upon the lips
of every thoughtful parent. How eagerly
Wo strain our eyes to catch if possible a
glimpse of the future of the little one.
What the child will be will depend very
greatly upon the inUuences which surround
the early life. No wonder then that the
couple, after the first flush of joy over the
strange tidings had passed away, should
inquire into the manner in which the child's
life should he ordered. In order to the
highest type of parenthood there is needed
largeness of vision, for the ordering of the
lives of those committed to us will accord
with our conception of life.
The vessel that would go out to our
let ties needs not the same largeness of
preparation as is required by the vessel
that would sail to far distant points across
the ocean.
What, is the ultimate port of human life?
t his question must he answered before wo
can intelligently direct the life. If you
answer the grave, then there is not needed
the same preparation as is necessary if
life be a voyage upon the river of time,
into the ocean of eternity, if life is never
ending.
If this life, this little span allotted us
here, be the whole of the short story of our
life, then its ordering is a simple matter,
but if, as many of us believe, this life he
the beginning of that unfolding which shall
continue forever, then life becomes more
complex, other i>oints must be considered
and weighed and a new point of view
taken. The duty of parenthood is to try,
in so far as is possible, to fathom the
meaning of life and. having attained to
what they deem a correct conception, train
the child accordingly.
TRAINING OF THE CHILD.-
The angel gave specific directions con-
cerning the training of the child. He was
to be a Nazerite. His was to be a separ-
ated life. He was to drink no wine, nor
should his hair be cut, tokens these of his
separated life, and a constant reminder of
the great purpose in his life.
The child-life was to be bounded in order
to an unbounded manhood. The child must
be restrained. This is needful in every
case of child training. It is a difficult, yea
an impossible task to lay down set rules
for the training of children. Every life
has its own individuality. In large fami-
lies it is seldom that two are found in all
points of disposition alike. There is needed
thorough study of disposition in every
case. Yet there are certain fundamentals
which apply in all cases and this is one.
The child must he taught the absolute
necessity of self-denial, without which self-
control is impossible.
This is one great trouble of to-day. Chil-
dren are growing up without any restraint
and as a result we have weak after lives.
Whatever the child demands (demand is
the word, for they have ceased to ask) is
readily granted even when there is con-
sciousness that the granting can not hut
conduce to harm. This lack of restraint is
the outgrowth of a false conception of love.
There are those who conceive that giving
is love's highest manifestation. Not so;
often times refusal is ihe truest manifes-
tation of love, while giving is a revelation
of weakness. Love is never weak. Love
seeks out the truest interests of the loved
one and makes effort to promote them.
In order to this it is often necessary to
give and perhaps as often necessary to re-
fuse. It is sometimes much easier to glvr?
than to refuse. It is hard to say no to
love's request; it takes a degree of heroism
to say it. We hear much of the grace of
giving: we need to hear more of the grace
of refusing.
All true child training involves restraint.
There is needed firmness of discipline. I
know there Is an extreme in restraint: I am
painfully conscious of wrecked lives due in
large measure to severity in training. Child
life is not respected as it should be. The
individuality of the child is too often Over-
looked. There is inherent dignity in human
life, even at its tirst appearing, ami no
parent has a right, to underestimate- it.
There is too much of parental tyranny
which is miscalled authority. After all.
true parental authority is wielded in such
a manner as that the child reads in. and
through it the ureal, loving, sympathizing
heart of one anxious for the outcome of
the life. The. parent who succeeds in
stumping all restraints of child life with
the seal of love has gone very far toward
solving the problem of the ordering of a
life. Love is the great motive power. It Is
love, and only love, that can rightly regu-
late a life. Samson had a religious train-
ing—that is , religious after a fashion, a
fashion by far too prevalent to-day. His
training was merely negative: there was
lacking positive element. In directing how
the child should be trained the angel speci-
fied a few things from which he was to
refrain, in order to differentiate him from
those around, to impress him with -his mis-
sion. These directions were not all in-
clusive—that is. they did not include all
that was necessary in order to a proper or-
dering of the life. A study of the life of
Samson makes it clear to my mind tlia;
lie was sadly deficient'in religious training.
At no time in jtoi.s life does he appear the
intensely religious man that we would
naturally expect from one called to a
separated life. There. is lacking a right
conception of Qod; hence his life is never
keyed to the high note of faith reached by
Gideon.
There seems to be a wrong impression of
a religious life, largely due to this same
cause. Our young people have come to
look upon religion merely as restraint, hav-
ing for its watchword. "Thou shalt not."
The Idea exists that refraining from the
grosser forms of sin makes one religious.
Not so. Christianity beckons us to a life—
a higher, nobler, broader life. The life re-
ligious is not negative, but intensely posi-
tive.
One result of this misconception is the
driving of the young away from the church.
They have become afraid of It. They look
unon religion us something synonymous
with vinegar—very sour. When you become
religious you must wrap round about you
the somber garb: never smile. What a
travesty upon Christianity! Hear the great
apostle as he commands, "Rejoice ever-
more." Christianity summons us to look
upon the broader life, and whispers as we
view the life. "Rejoice, be glad;" but in the
midst of all rejoicing fail not to think upon
the seriousness of life's purpose, and let
this aspect temper the life.
Central Christian Cliurcli.
There is much interest shown in I)r,
Lowber's series of sermons on "Duty."
Yesterday morning he spoke on "Duties to
Family." Following Is an outline of the
sermon:
"The family is of divine origin and it is
at the foundation of all true civilization.
The man who is opposed to the family is
worse than a barbarian. I want to discuss
the subject this morning from four stand-
points. as follows:
"1. Duties of the household. Of course,
young men, we take it for granted that
most of you will become husbands. It may
be that the Greeks and Romans were
wrong in taxing old bachelors, but society
is certainly not in a healthy condition when
bald-headed bachelors are too numerous.
It is against nature and the best interests
of society. It is the duty of husbands to
love their wives and not to love other
men's wives. Nothing can be a substitute
for that love that nature enjoins and
the apostle commands. Such love should
be the philosophy of the. heart and the
finest of the fine arts. This will require
the husband to spend as much time with
his wife as possible. I fear that many hus-
bands do not. spend as much time with
their wives as they spent with their sweet-
hearts before marriage. This is wrong
and may lead to serious consequences. So-
ciety is afflicted with no more serious evil
than that connected with infidelity to the
marriage vow. It destroys the harmony of
the domestic relations and the most sacred
ties are sundered. By the Jewish law this
crime was punishable with death.
"2. Duties of the wife. She should obey
her husband in the Lord; but as there are
so few husbands In the Lord she is largely
released from this obligation. While she
leans upon the strength of her husband as
the vine leans upon the sturdy oak she is
not released from one duty. It is the
duty of the vine to grow and cling. She
should grow into the highest christian
womanhood, and even if she is what they
call the 'new woman' she should still cling-
to her old man. Woman is not to be a
useless weight upon a stronger arm, hut
she is to strengthen that arm for the
battles of life.
"2. Parental duties. The father who
does not to the extent of his ability provide
for the support of his own family has de-
nied the faith and is worse than an infidel,
it is a great crime for a man to spend his
money in riotous living and let his family
be in want. The drunkard not only wrongs
his own soul, but is a great sinner against
his family. It is impossible to predict the
future evil that may result from the way
in which children are neglected by their
barbarian fathers. No father has the right
to tuck off the responsibility of looking
after iiis children upon others. History
shows that the moral culture of children
very largely comes from the mother. Near-
ly all great men largely attribute their
success to their mothers. Considering these
facts, Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked
that the great want of France was a new
race of mothers. It is beautiful to see a
pious mother instructing her children in
the right pathway of life. Guizot, Couvier
and Cousin were associates in boyhood. It
is said that Mme. Couvier was very pious
and that she made a lasting impression
upon the minds of the boys. They all be-
came great and good men. Couvier was
the great oat of scientists, Guizot a great
historian and Cousin one of the greatest of
modern philosophers.
•"4. Filial aXit'ctlon. The Orientals have
great filial affection, but this is frequently
greatly wanting among western nations.
The great lack of reverence on the part of
young Americans sometimes results in a
son even leaking fun of his father. A girl
once said that she was sorry that she had
such an ugly* woman tor a mother, it is a
sad day for civilization when children lose
proper reverenefe for their parents.
"In conclusion 1 want to say that the
great end of the family institution is to
train its members fop, the service of the.
state and the service of God. Upon these
subjects I will speak hereafter."

Sabhatli Observance.
At the West End Baptist church last
night Rev. John Mare, jr., preached on the
above subject, taking his text from Exodus,
xx, 8: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy." He said in substance:
Those laws which we know as the Ten
Commandments are not arbitrary dictates
of God without reason. Even were they
such, this would be no excuse for disobe-
dience, since the Creator has the unques-
tioned right to command the creature. They
are simply the expression of facts which
would have been set forth in the natural
order of things as the true basis of best
government, and which have proved
through centuries of history as the only
basis for right living. The first three of
these commands relate only to God, and
those nations which have most nearly lived
up to them are they who have been most
influential in the world's progress. Every
state and nation acknowledges the justness
of the fifth to the tenth commands by in-
corporating them In varied forms into their
own laws. The welfare of the state is in
proportion to the obedience given to the
laws founded on the last commandment.
This being so, there is strong presumptive
evidence (even if there were no other) that
the condition of the state would be greatly
improved by obedience to the fourth com-
mand, which is the one now under discus-
sion. Let us now ask the question: Why
was the Sabbath instituted?
I answer, first, not for any benefit that
God could have, for certainly he could ob-
tain none by man's rest from labor; neither
could he profit by man's worship, for. being
God he can not, any more than man, he
benefited in the receipt of that which is his
by right. Secondly, the Sabbath was insti-
tuted to commemorate God's rest from the
labors of creation, and this divine example
should be sutficient without an express
command. Thirdly, we read that the chil-
dren of Israel kept the Sabbath before the
command was given, in commemoration of
their deliverance from Egypt and their rest
from the slavery they suffered there. Last-
ly, and chiefly, I believe that the Sabbath
was instituted for man's benefit. This is in
accord with Christ's words In Mark, Ii, 27,
that "the Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath." The proof is
abundant upon every hand that the Sab-
bath is for man's benefit. Those who ob-
serve the Sabbath in part, that part which
pertains to rest from labor, are they who
are physically the best. It is a matter of
record that man. his beasts of burden, yes,
even his machinery, will do far more work
by resting every seventh day than by work-
ing without any cessation. Those who ob-
serve the command fully by rest and wor-
ship profit far more than others. Why?
Because, besides being improved physically
by rest from labor, they improve spiritually
through communion with God. Man be-
comes assimilated to the object of his wor-
ship. and he who sets apart one day out of
seven only for worship of God becomes
that much nearer to being like him whom
he worships. The next heading of impor-
tance on this subject is:
Which day is the Sabbath? Briefly: The
seventh or Saturday was originally the
Sabbath, being the anniversary of God's
rest from the labors of creation. The author
of a command has the right to change it.
In Mark 11, 28, we read: "The Son of Man
Is Lord also of the Sabbath." While we have
no direct command as to the change of
days from the seventh to the first, yet rea-
son and example teach us now to observe
the latter. . , , *
Reason, In that upon the first day of the
week a greater work than that of crea-
tion is coniemmorated. The former Sabbath
celebrated the creation of man; the later
one his redemption. Example says the
first day Is the Sabbath because Christ met
with his disciples on that day, after his
resurrection, his spirit was given them
on a flrsrday, they preached the word to
the salvation of 3000 on a first day. and sill
through the New Testament records the
first day Is known as the Lord's day.
The next question Is: "Who should keep
the Sabbath?" When this question is
touched upon Paul's words in Romans vi.
14, are often quoted: "Ye are not under law
but under grace;" but It will be found that
those people who are usually under grace
are not the ones to raise the question of
whether or not they should observe the
#eommand. The mere fact that they have
been redeemed by the grace of God from
the law places the desire In their heart the
more fully to keep the law; and they ob-
serve the Sabbath because It is a privilege
for them so to do. But they who have not
trusted Christ for personal salvation are
not under grace. Those who are not under
grace are under the law. If under the law.
then they are in duty bound to observe th
Sabbath day to keep it holy, neither work-
ing themselves nor causing anyone el.-.* i<>
work. Thus we see that the obligation n!
Sabbath keeping rests upon all. for ev« ?
one is either under law or under gm •
The last question to ask is: "Should t1
state enforce Sabbath observant •• What
is a state. "The whole body of people
united under one government, whatever
may be the form of the government." says
Webster. The object of government is the
greatest good to the greatest number, and
in this light I say that undoubtedly the
state should enforce the "Sunday law." In
this country the state and the government
are one, the state being the people and the
people making the laws anil enforcing them,
that is, theoretically. The object of gov-
ernment, then, being the improvement of
man as a race, and it being evident that
man benefits boih physically and mentally
as well as spiritually by resting one day iii
seven, then T see no other conclusion for
us than the above. Neither does this con-
flict with the constitution of the United
States, for it does not interfere with any
man's religion nor his right to worship
God as he pleases or not at all if he so
pleases; but leaving the spiritual entirely
out of the question, the improvement of
man as an animal demands that men should
be elected to office who will enforce that
law, which at present is almost a dead let-
ter, and compel people at least to permit
others to rest one day in seven.
The Presbyterian Church.
Four were welcomed Into the communion
of the church on profession of the faith.
The celebration of the Lord's supper fol-
lowed the sermon. Dr. Scott took for his
text Gallatians vi., 14: "For God forbid that
I should glory, save in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ. The exaltation of the
cross was the theme. He spoke in part:
WThen the apostle used this strong ex-
pression he referred to something very
powerful in human nature. Men some-
times glory in that which they should not.
Men are tempted to make % god of their
wisdom. Men have been wise as sages and
lived as beasts. Rome in its highest state
of refinement was rotten In morals. Men
sometimes glory In their power and
prowess, but how vain Is this when man
can not prolong his days.
Men sometimes glory in riches. Men es-
teem each other by this standard, but with
all their wealth and power they can not
save themselves.
In what did Paul glory—a great man
splendidly endowed anil equipped? He
might have gloried in his excellent and up-
right life, in his religious zeal, In his high
position in Jewry, but he gloried not in
these. Neither did he glory in his zeal and
fidelity in the master's service. He might
have gloried In the position he occupied in
the early church, but he never intimuted
a word .about this. He might have gloried
in the exalted visions he received, but he
gloried only in the "cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ," not in the splendid teaching
and exanmle of Christ, but in the death of
Christ. This Is the height ni his glory.
Now, what does this mean?,rTt means th»>
great fact of the cross—Uio greatest fact
in human history—wherry .'Christ measured
lances with death and hell. And it means
the doctrine, of the cross, the "crux." the
fact that Christ was made to be sin for
us. this doctrine which he always preached.
And why should this be the supreme ob-
ject of Paul's glorying? Because here he
saw the justice and mercy of God meet.
Ho *iaw ihe law ot Uod honored In the
obedience and death of Christ. The main-
tenance of the law is of the greatest im-
portance to the world. No other such ex-
hibition of God's love is seen anywhere as
on calvary. At the cross we begin to grasp
the length aiid breadth and height of God's
love. The cross of Christ expresses the
love of God as nothing else can. Because
he also saw in the cross the hope for all
the world. Nothing but God's love reaches
down so low. We ought to glory in it
after seeing its power in all the world dur-
ing the laet lWi years.
Because of the wonderful influences it
had upon his own life. What an inspira-
tion it had upon hi? own soul. How bold
it made him. how full of zeal and enthusi-
asm. how ready even to die for the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In closing Paul says: "By whom the
world is crucified to me and I unto the
world." Paul renounced all things^ incon-
sistent with his profession of dlscipleship.
We need this same spirit to-day as we
surround the tables of the Lord. We in-
vite our brethren—all who call themselves
Christians—to join with us in commemorat-
ing the death of our common Lord and
Saviour.
•v NOTES.
The communion service had a very large
attendance in spiteN of the extreme heat,
and was marked by the accession of four
members to the church on profession of the
faith.
Early in the week Dr. Scott, accompanied
by Mrs. Scott, starts on his usual Vaca-
tion, which will be spent among the Rocky
mountains. The three Sabbaths he will be
absent are to be filled by Rev. Mr. Story
of Houston and Mr. Judson Palmer of the
Y. M. C. A.
The Endeavor meeting was led by Presi-
dent Carrlnger, the subject being "Claiming
the Promises: What and How?" The
"what" and "how" meaning what are the
promises we should claim and how we may
claim them. The leader dwelt on the topic
at some length, showing wherein the prom-
tees of God are a divine revelation of him-
self: that care should he exercised to make
proper use of the promises: that thev are
all conditional; that the faithfulness* with
which the conditions are followed shanes
•our reward, and that claiming the promises
is first fulfilling the conditions. The meet-
ing was well attended, a great many par-
ticipating. including a. number of visitors.
It was suggested ihat the meeting next
week (the consecration meeting,!, take the
form of a promise meeting, each giving his
or her favorite promise. The meeting was
the best held for a long time. Wednesday
evening following the regular prayer the
monthly business meeting of the Endeavor
will be held.
Voniig Men's Christian Association.
There was a large attendance at the
young men's meeting at the Young Men's
Christian association rooms yesterday af-
ternoon from 4 to 5 o'clock. The meeting
was deeply interesting. The song service
from Gospel Hymns Nos. 1 to 6 was en-
gaged in by nearly everyone present, and
was heartily enjoyed. A male Quartette
also added interest to this part of the meet-
ing. in a brief address Mr. E. R. Horton
introduced the topic, which was "The Stan-
dard of Christian Living."
He was followed by several ether vour.g
men. who briefly and pointedly showed that
the life of Christ was the standard l'or
Christians to live by. and that it was not
sutficient for a man to make a profession
of religion or be baptized and unite with
the church, but he should live according to
the teachings of Christ: that unless it
made him honest and upright in his deal-
ings with his fellow men his religion was
not genuine; that a young man could not
receive a salary of $50 a month and spend
$60 a month from that income and be a
genuine follower of the Lord Jesus.
