The service was shorter than usual on account of so many of the young people desiring to attend the basketball game. The singing was of a high order and a splendid duet by Prof. Altheide and Dr. Myer was much appreciated. Sunday promises to be a red letter day at this revival, and special preparation's are under way to make the three services among the best the church has ever had. At the morning service there will be a fine array of music consisting of solos and quartettes. At the evening sendee there will bo a number oif special pieces of music, duets, quartettes and a selection by the chords. Last night's sermon was on the theme: The Unknown God.” The speaker said in part: Were I asked to name the greatest ch a meters of all history, sacred or vsecuhw, there is one name I would pitt well up among the illustrious of earth. It would be the name of Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. A man’s life ar>d greatness must, always be measured by the influence he has exerted on life. Measured by his influence Paul stands next to Jesus of Nazareth, for he has through his efforts slmped the destiny of the w o CM. Paul c*ame into proud and cultured Athens at a time When they were running wild over their Gods. The historian sayis that at this time the Athenians had three thousand Gods or dietics calling for their worship, and fearful lest they had forgotten one, they erected an altar to the “Unknown God.” Paul, gazing upon this seized the opportunity and declared unto them Jesus, as their unknown God, who was worthy of their worship’ and adoration. Standing upon the summit of Mar's Hill he proa died the sermon of his life. Observe with me if you will the man: istandnig alone. singlehanded among tihe philosopher*, ho fearlessly proclaimed the truths of the. gospel. Oh, that the church had such men behind the pulpit today. We are so anxious to L ickle and please the ear of those sitting in the pew, and so afraid that we might swy something that will give offence. This old world is going to be won to Jesus and the Kingdom when men boldly and fearlessly proclaim the truths of our God. It may ( be men that God wants but 1 am persuaded that wh'at is needed in this great work is "'Man.” Paul was a man of conviction. We are so vascilating today. So many men are afraid to commit themselves on issues of the day. Many a mam halts when he comes to the temperance issue or some great political issue of the day. Right should determine one’s stand, and when -satisfied that he is standing on the right lie Should fight for it with all the vehement! of his soul. Paul had a wonderful audience: stoics, epicureans and philosophers of all deesription; and as he preached to them, some mocked, others laughed and others said: “We will hear you agwin.” The man who laughs tat the Bible, Christ, and the church of Christ, is the devil's fool. God always has tile bust day. God-pity the one who laugh's at the right today, for his condition is indeed precarious. Paul never vistfed Athens again, and many who were in his audience on that occasion died in their pride and hoatbeeism. God calls you and He your choice. Will you hear him? Come.

Opening the fight for the republicans, Senator .Button, of Ohio, assailed the government ship purchase bill Thursday as a dangerous experiment in government ownership and declared that it would open the way to -the building up of privileged interests.

NEW EDGING TOOL. Knp* Gras* Along Edge of Walk In Neat Condition. paring the summer months suburbanites find that one of the greatest troubles they have in keeping the

Shoves Out Neat Gutter.

lawn looking well Is the tendency of grass to grow over the walks and make the edges of these paths ragged. A Wisconsin man has invented an implement by means of* which any man may trim the edges of his walk in a few minutes as well as the most expert gardener could trim them in a couple of hours in the old way—with a pair of clippers. This implement Is a shovel-shaped affair with a sharp edge and one side bent till it forms a gutter, with a broad rim that rests on the pavement. Starting at one end of the walk, the groove in fie shovel is placed Just outside of the 'edge of the paving, with one side of the shovel resting on the walk and the other on the grass. It is then pushed along, plowing a neat little trench and cutting all the straggling grass away as smoothly as a lawn mower would do. It is said that the curb and walk of an 80-foot lot can be trimmed in twenty minutes with this implement.

FOR EXTRACTING CORKS.

Device Retrieves Btoppers Which Have Been Pushed Into Bottles. How often it happens that tlm lower half of a broken cork slips- into the body of the bottle and bobs about tantalizingly. Usually there is nothing to do in such a case but to let the cork stay where it is, or, if the action of the liquid on cork Is harmful, pour the liquid into another bottle. An Ohio man has come to the rescue, however, with a device which extracts corks from bottles with neatness and dispatch. This consists of an Inter-

Woven shank, with one end terminating In a handle and the other end provided with diverging spring arms with spurs turned Jnward. Around the shank Is a slidable member, which when pushed toward the claws of the former .compresses them. The apparatus is thrust into a bottle, the claws placed over the cork and pressed together so they hold it firmly. It can then be drawn out with ease. Such an extractor is of great In factories where old bottles are used.

A Trial by Rice.

They have peculiar methods of trying suspects in Bengal. One of these Is called “trial by rice.’' Every person suspected, was ordered to be present, and all turned up. First the people were made to sit In a* semicircle and a “plate” (a Bquare of plantain leaf) was set before each. Then a priest walked up and down chanting and scattering flowers. This ceremony over, one of the clerks went to each man and gave him raw rice and told him to chew it to a pulp. After about ten minutes they were told to stop and eject it into the plaintain leaf. All did so easily with the exception of three men. One of these three promptly commenced to cry and begged for mercy, confessing everything and saying that another of the three was the chief instigator, ft is a curious fact that fear, arising from an evil conscience, prevents saliva coming to the mouth, with the result described.

Soldiers.

If It is necessary to maintain a standing army, why not pay the soldiers good wages and have them do useful work when not drilling? A short time each day would certainly be enough for drilling; the rest of the time let them be employed on work Qt national importance —conservation and reclamation projects, Improvements of landways and waterways, etc. This would make of them intelligent, efficient, patriotic citisens taut nr* of the paid idlers they are BOW. —.—ij - There are gil kinds of people in the world, including the man who prefers baker's bread* to the home-made variety,

Short Sermons FOR A Sunday half-hour

THE BENEFITS OF RELIGION.

BY REV. A. MACDONALD REOCH.

Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.—l. Timothy, iv., 8.

s. Religion has both a negative and a positive side, but the positive is far more important. The negative element in religion, as in the art of photography, is used simply to bring out the positive. Self-denial is the throwing away of a handful that we may reap a bushel. A grain of wheat falling into the ground and dying releases powerful forces which result in a hundredfold of increas>;. The exercise of selfdenial develops moral power which is much more valuable than the thing we deny ourselves. Religion is mainly concerned with the development of our character, but in leading us from the lower to the higher it incidentally demands self-sacrifice. Like tropical climates which produce enormous harvests while they enervate and undermine the human constitution, life richly pours out temporal blessings, but in doing so puts our more. 1 health and integrity to the test. Religion is the tonic which invigori.tes and sustains conscience. Neither legislation nor public sentiment can render conscience permanently efficient without the influence of religion. It holds out the hope of an eternal reward and makes moral attainment worth all it costs. Religion tenches the art of tfght living, which is the sum of ali arts. The varied characteristics of all links of life are found summed up in man. ke holds affinity with everything in heaven above and in the earth beneath and in the waters under the earth. Out of this complexity of nature a great many problems arise, all of which are within the scope of religion. It teaches self-control of body and development of mind. It exhorts to diligence in business and to fervency of spirit. It teaches that our fellow man is as important as we are, and therefore we should love him; that he is as frail and liable err, therefore we should have charity; that he is as prone to misfortune, therefore we should be generous in sympathy and help. It teaches that God is father of all, and therefore we should seek to know Him.

It achieves the equalization of humanity, Pot by dragging down the successful, but by lifting up the unfortunate. When Paul discovered a runaway slave in Rome he first extended to him the gospel of uplift and then sent him to his master with a letter .sking that he he received, “not as a slave, but as. a brother beloved.” Religion had a perpetual conflict with every form of oppression and injustice and will ultimately bring the whole race -to complete liberty. It is a living and growing tie .which binds man to man and all men to God< j

“The Sun is Going Down,”

Between John, the renewed bishop of Constantinople, called the Almoner, and Nicetas, a nobleman, some bitter words had passed one day, and they had passed in anger. John had been wronged. Still, as_the day was drawing to its" close.he remembered the words of the apostle: “Be y® angry and sin not; let' not the sun go down upon your wrath.” (Eph. 4: 26.) He sent a friend to Nicetas with the message: “My lord, the sun is going down.” Nicetas" understood, hastened to him, and they reconciled themselves, cheerfully, before tfaf* sun set. How many there are by whom the sun’s daily warning is unheeded! • Lutheran. -

“By Their Fruits."

" it is one of the characteristic features of the “new religions” which rise periodically into prominence that their initators manage to turn them into a means of handsome pecuniary profit. Superstition and credulity have always from of old been associated; and the new superstitions in this matter rival the old. On the side of the leaders, fanaticism degenerating into charlatanry; op the side of the followers delirious confidence, passing into blind partizanship, on the way often to a rude awaketiipg and final disgust with all religion, true as well as false.

How the story of the Incarnation shines in s its grand simplicity and noble self-sacrifice against the background of these modern cults!. Success is the trials of all religions; and while the Christian faith has suffered much from • its false friends, it triumphs by its power, ever-renewed from above, to re-awaken in its true exponents the spirit of devotion and self-sacrifice.—London Christian.

' .r H • . . If you want to/ be loved by others keep sober, talk kindly and look as sweet as you know how. Let us love one another.

£ - „• - Wherever souls are being tried arid ripened, in whatever. 'commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out. the pillars for His temple. —Phillips Brooks.

Something to Think About Over Sunday.

The RepUbMean Is in receipt of the following letter, Which offers food for (thought. We trust tjfat the erfticfsm is not too personal. It is important because it repro sertts a common fault with so many. There .fas a lack of Christian charity, of Christian love and of Christian effort. The communication is published in the belief that it deserves consideration. It follows: “I was calling on a lady in our little city the other day and on my way, almost next door, I spoke to the lady of the house and Was really taken with ‘the kindness of the lady’* voice and manner. She was dressed in califco and was bu£y with the family washing. I reto -the lady on whom I was calling tlnat the neighbor to wluom I had spoken was very pleasant and mannerly. It happened that the lady on. whom I was cabling was a devoted church worker and I was surprised when she replied: “Yes, but 'they are very poor people and she has been talked about, so none of u« neighbors (hothir Her. We speak to her if we have to and tl'JatV about all." Well, I went home and on the following Sunday went to church. I kept thinking about the matter. Whaff chance had that poor woman whose neighbors accepted the accusation of rumor and shunned her like a leper'. At chuich I saw' the lady on whom I had Called, a woman Wife passed as a true Christian. She was a teacher at the Sunday school and among her ycholars were the children of the shunned neighbor. My mind has been .so taxed at the thought of it all .and I have been unable to understand that so it of Christian spirit. No friend, do you think when OhiPSt iwias here he was Po very ■cafeful not to to some human being because there was a, rumor .a gain sit her. Can we not‘learn that no iriaitter how siinifull a person is they have a soul to swe and fhait we Can never a,id in the rescue rs we shun them. And can |ye as Christian people afford to “crick” off together and ■•assume a “holler tlian thou" ,attitude? What if our duty 'to Christ and His house? We Can not pffpid iti fiod 'Stays we must love one another and by our fruits will we be judged. Yet your light so .shine that others in darkness may see that there Is reality and oarnestncds in Godls love. We believe this so important sth’a't we ask the columns of The Republican in order that all in our fair City may have t'he opportunity to think it over and make our lives ,an aid and not a rebuff to any poor |and -misguided..sinner.r Let our Hrveo improve >ln charity v along (with our prettier lawns and our e'lcaper alley's,—A Daily Subscriber, , t ,
