RET. J. CUM MING SMITH'S SERMO AT THE TABERNACLE.

People's Congregational Has Hew Pastor In Rev. John 8. Schoneid Other Church Services.

Rev. J. Cumming Smith In his sermon last evening at the Tabernacle had for his theme "Bricks Without Straw." Exodus v. He said: "In many unconscious ways the crime of Tharaoh has been repeated. Wherever Xjeople have extorted from others what they have not given others the power to produce there has been the same species of social tyranny. To get something for nothing or as near nothing as possible, to grind others down to the lowest form of bondage by exacting from them what lies beyond their capacity how far this cruel Instinct permeates the complicate world of human reiitlonship! "We expect morality to manifest itself without a foundation of spirituality, as if iiuman virtue in the long run could exist without profound spiritual faith. To be sure, there are moral people who an agnostlcai, but on the same principle as a car moves on with the momentum given It by the engine that has been uncoupled from it, moral unbelievers owe their virtue to spiritual ancestors. Take away the submarine beliefs in a spiritual universe and in a short while goodness would expire and penitentiaries would be superfluous. "Agnosticism goes In waves over the world. It la a negative and a nonproductive in Itself. It is a protest against overdogmatism sometimes. It Involves a vast sincerity in human bosoms as we atand on the precipices of mystery and peer Into the surrounding silence. However, it Is a negation. It can carry no inspiration. Its creeds of void and vacancy can cheer no heart in the cold and marshy conditions of life, and if any bloom of virtue beautifies this arid realm of thought It is but a survival from a previous period of warm, vitalizing faith that brings the summer of heaven down into human conditions. "Some men seam devoid of the very capacity of believing beyond their shadows. They are constitutionally impervious to appeals from afar. They are as the dugouts which are a refuge from the wasting cyclones, but which have no windows and do suggestion of strttchlng landscapes. Other types of men consider the world as hopelessly depraved and dungeonal, and they look forward to a future heaven as a happy escape by and by. They resemble the towers I have climbed by spiral stairways, and during the arduous ascent no windows, or at the best only a few stinted spidery windows, relieved the dinginessand the only ray of hope was that after mounting for a long while in the darkness we would come out suddenly on the top and bask in the glorious light, and command a view of golden sceneries. These types are partial. There is a third sort of men. To them the spiritual universe is as native and essential as the mountain air and oxone to Alpine climbers. They are large, absorbing, luminous minds with a predominating desire for far-off developments. Paul. Moses, Maurice. Swedenborg, Milton and a thousand others in lofty and lowly spheres of life find a reality where gross or materialistic minds find emptiness a live populated realm where inferior minds find at best a ghostly realm of vagueness a heaven everywhere, while right beside them and perhaps right within their own homo circles are friends who grope along the earthly pathway as If not a sunbeam from the supernatural encircling universe greeted their eye. Must peopi iie jn j,, catacombs. Their mentality is cavernous. Their voices are cavernous. Their eye has a Dantean gloom and deadlinoss. But there are Alpine minds. They are imaginative in the rich old sense of that term They walk in the light that bathes and nswathes and irradiates our terrene life; they are fountains of perennial cheer and godliness as a reality. They remind me of those palaces perched on sunlit eminences that seldom the miasmic mists chill or shadow, full of windows and every window framed as wide as possible, as If it would press the very stars of the sky Into its spacious hospitality. WELL8 OF INSPIRATION". "Now say what we will, these are the wells of inspiration. Let these dry and the glory of earth has passed away. Faith In the larger sense, aerial imagination that revels not In the backyard gossip. but in the communications that come dripping from a living, radiant universe, from a God artesian in love, from a heaven of love that Is slowly simmering down hit cruel human conditions, as sunlight down into dusky forests, from th- grandeur of the human spirit sublime in its struggle to throw off the enthi i t of sin these verities are under all progress. A church without dogma will mean next generation a world without virtu- or "We trace all beauty and excellence bank to the evolution o( the spiritual life In men and spiritual life without basic principles of a personal God of unbound- I wisdom and love, as Jesus manifested, Is as contradictory as the sea without a planet to bear up its weight, or a tranquil twilight without a Western horizon t port it. Denounce narrow metaphyseal creeds as much as you will and I will be hotter than you in the denunciation; but remember that ther are magnificent creeds that enfranchise the human intellect and there are ageless dogmas that emancipate, and if you throw these away. If you spirit twty your Bible ami yur Im1 and your Immortality and denude or destroy the Invisible world, you plunge the world in death. From th fluent. fMppant tone of much of our skepticism nowadaysone would sot ho Surprised at a sensational headline In the morning- papers God was drown. i In Fall creek last night: "How can you manufacture municipal morality out of a municipal skepticism and paganism? Is not our ettj full of the lveest bthens who are abreast of some current cultures, but who stand aloof from

gar earnest religious causes' Who carts

honor in a mayor or city council if re

ar zeuud only la the burled

sainthood in our cemeteries? The principle la clear as noon. We blame the authorities when we ought to go deeper and blame the religious citizens for their lack of faith and stinging sense of responsibility to God. Public officials are often trounced when we ought to blame the churches. If the moral vote of the city was not splintered Into mere national party lines, whih have no more right to invade civic affairs than a i ir bear to push vulgarly into a summer tamp at Wawasee lake, or If the moral religious opinion would concentrate and nominate a high-minded citlsen to enforce laws then a clean administration might come. But religious opinion is not virile and stalwart enough to focus. We lack depth and force and cohesion. We are honeycombed with sectarianism. We follow parties slavishly as dogs do their gypsy wagons. BESIEGED LIKE OTHERS. "LJke other ministers. I And myself besieged with applications to turn the sermon into a cannonading against particular grievances or sins. Each visitor believes his scheme the ultimate solution and he wants volley after volley thundered at some special error. To a degree I admire their ardor, but their philosophy is often skin deep, as a cosmetic. The only final cure is a spiritual regeneration. The Cltliens' League can tickle the surface a little, but no committee can revitalize the deeper Intellectual life of a community which determines Anally all our local crusades. Much time, therefore, is wasted in defaming our politicians who are doing the best they can in hard circumstances, simply because the lower vote Is a unit and the higher vote Is scattered among a dozen clamorous parties or sects. Blame rather the religious and moral people for not centralizing their influence; blame rather the dearth of religious earnestness and the lukewarmness of the upper moral classes who vote in old ruts while the devil masses the lower votes for one issue, and ' then perhaps a new sense of citizenship will be created. Then the saloon will find its overmatch. It means war to the death. Advanced though our civilization is, the need of heroism against sins is as great as when emperors of Rome flung saints to the lions. It is still the age militant. Our polished and leisure-loving classes are languid in faith and must eventually lose their force unless a new note is struck of strenuous effort. A course of sparring lessons or a winter in a wild mining town would give nerve and conviction to many now softening with luxuries. Waste, therefore, no breath in scourging the politicians Direct rather your earnestness against the anaemic aristocracies flouncing at operas while blood money changes hands and the pious circles hymning at chape! while primaries are manipulated by machines. "I plead therefore for a fundamental reconstruction of character and consecration as the very condition of a more perfect development and sanitation of public life. This was the mission and the method of Jesus. In everything He brought God to the forefront of the stage. He was the apostle of the universal manhood, the universal conscience and heart. When crowds teased Him with tangled questions He stood immovable in the broad light of His Father's love. When clever sophists tried to lure Him aside to some gossip around the village pump He would touch a universal chord and refused to be anything but racial and planetary in His message and tirelessly proclaimed the reform of the heart as the passion and the policy of His ministry. And if our very respectable people who are neutral and noncommittal on religious life; if our boarding houses, with their share of people who go to church as they go to the theater, because of some special attraction on the billboard; if our often amiable, cultured agnostics, dreading the positiveness of Jesus and His ipcarnation; if these classes only knew how their negative attitude enervates the deeper life of the city, a sense of shame might rouse their generous but lazy, drifting souls to a new choice of our one Master, whose life was love and whose throne was a cross." SERMON BY MR. TIPPY.

What Took Place nt the Dinner In the House of Simon. At the evening service at the Broadway Church the pastor, the Rev. Worth M. Tippy spoke on "The Dinner in the House of Simon, the Pharisee." The sermon was a study of the methods of Jesus and of the gladness of an evil life that has been forgiven and cleansed. Mr. Tippy said, In part: "This story is one of the most illuminating of all the recorded incidents in the eventful life of the Master. If it is studied carefully it will revest the way in which the Lord and His disciples lived and also the frank openness and friendliness of the spirit of Jesus. The apostolic band lived, for the most part, upon the hospitality of the people wherever they went. Not alone the humble, but the wealthy and influential were glad to have these guests in their homes. "They were in the region of the Sea of Oalllee at the time, and one of the Pharisees 'desired that He would eat with him.' The Lord went Just as freely as He was asked. Possibly the next meal Eft would dine in the home of a despised publican, or with a man whose reputation was bad That was what perplexed and often enough scandalized the fastidious. It was not that He made no moral discrimination, but that He refused to be separated from any group of the people, except as a man might himself refuse to be friendly. "The picture is full of life. The host, with his guests. He upon couches while the meal is being : d. The servants are hurrying back . forth, and among the guests there is animated conversation. The Master is the center of interest, for His fame is at its height and the bitterness of the later months had not yet come. His Journeys have been as yet triumphal processions. Suddenly there Is the sound of a controversy among the servants with some stranger, and in a moment a woman hurries Into the room and, walking rapidly to the rear of the couch where Jesus reclined, she falls on her knees, weeping. Her tears drench His bare feet and she hastilv wipes them with her long hair. She then anoints them with a rich perfume that fills the room with its fragrance. "It was a striking and dramatic scene. Conversation stopped, the servants stood still watching the scene, and the host looked on with amazement. The intruder was a well-known woman. She was beautiful, doubtless, but she had led an abandoned life. Meanwhile, the woman, regardless of the gaze of guests and servants, continued, with uncontrollable emotion to anoint His feet. SIMON WONDKRED. "Simon was a gentleman, and said nothing. He did not even appear to suspect Jesus of an evil life. The Pharisee's code of morals had nothing but hopeless ostracism for such a woman, and to see his gvest sit calmly through the ordeal, without so much as a gesture of disapproval, was sufficient to discredit him as a prophet. If Jesus were a prophet, he thought to himself, He would know the life of this woman. He was sure that if He knew what she had done. He would have Indignantly resented her action. "But the Master saw what the Pharisee could not see. a woman who had been asinner, but who had been redeemed. Possibly that very day as He had been teaching she had come out of curiosity to hear Him and to see His wonderful works. While He healed the sick with a suppressed passion of tenderness and patience, while He spoke afterwards, with word! that cut their way deep into the souls of the people, and while she saw Into His own pure, high" minded, compassionate soul, the fountains of her own life were unsealed. All the latent goutiness, all the holy love of a woman's soul, all the hatred of evil of a woman's heart broke forth. In the silence of her heart as she listened she abandoned her life of sin. and. lifting her heart to God. she felt her old life forgiven and its vileness puss away. "How she Iked the rest of that day she never knew. The hours flew along in the ecstasy of forgiveness. When the evening came she must see Him and pour out her gratitude. She found that He was at the home of Simon the Pharisee, an invited guest. That made no difference, for she literally could not wait. It was a psychical impossibility. She went to the house, and. breaking through the line of servants, hurried to the Savior's feet. And then she could say nothing for joy! She broke into uncontrollable tears, as she humbly bent over His feet. Ah. that was a sight for angels, and for men who could understand! The Pharisee had no place In his world theory for anything like that and so the Master gently explained It to him. THK MASTKR SPOKK. "When It was all over He spoke to the kneeling woman: 'Thy sins are forgiven. Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.' She arose and looked into His face, and she saw as it were the face of God. She saw the compassion of God in the face of a man. something she had never seen before. Sh went out calmly from the presence of the guests sure of His respect and therefore self-respecting. There is that about the life tu-u Uns been saved that casts out

fear and shame. It is the consciousness of the favor of God and of one's own rectitude. "Tine event happened nearly 2.000 years ago, but it is as new as though it had happened yesterday. The Master was beginning then a work that was to be universal. That incident has been repeated a million, times since .that day. There is nothing in the work of the kingdom of God that can compare with Just such work as this. The angel said to Mary: 'Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.' I wish that every dark, sad life in our city might come to the Savior in the same way that this woman came and might know as she knew the ecstasy of forgiveness and the glory of the new life. I wish that each of us might know it, for although our sins may not be her sin, they yet may be as dark in the sight of God." . XEW PASTOR S SERMOX.

It means also to make Him our ideal. Moses and Plato, Socrates and Pythagoras and Luther and Wesley were all perfect men, but Christ was the most perfect ideal and the most easily imitated. If we could come into close sympathy with Him and be filled with His spirit we would carry everywhere a fullness of the blessing of the Christ." Ql ESTIOXS OF THE Fl Tl'RE.

Rev. John Sehofleld at the People ConarKtiunal Church. The Rev. John Sehofleld delivered his first sermon at the People's Congregational Church j-esterday morning to a large congregation. He was formerly connected with the Brightwood Congregational Church. His text yesterday morning was Romans

xv, 2?: "I am sure that when I come unto j

you I shall come in the fullmss of the blessing of Christ." In part, he said: "Whatever Paul said was worth listening to, for he has made a greater impression on our civilization than either Plato or ( ,-H'sar. Cathedrals have boat namort for him, scholars have HTMtled with his doo trine and thousands of wise and simple have eaught from him the fervor of the holy life. A sentence often summarizes a man"s character. For instanee. Napoleon photographed hlmfell' when he said, God was on the tMt of the strong. -t ! attalion.' and the integrity of Henry Clay was focused in the sentence, I would rather be right than President.' "The humaneness of Lincoln in 'Malice to none, charity toward all' and the measure of the C..risthtn preacher is found in this sentence. I will come in the fullness o'f the blet5ing.' Other trades and professions have a right to exist tx-t-ans- they increase man's possessions, but the preacher who comts in the fullntss of the blessing increases manhood, and as the value of manhood is greater than that of things so the plaee of the preacher is higher than that of the lawyer and the merchant. We call this soul-saving or redemption, thinking we so distinguish it. but all social problems are matters of soul-saving, and to the Christian pnacher there is only one question in politics to make bad citizens good, for the experiments of history prove that the only way to eure political corruption is to Improve the stock of citizenship. "If we are despondent because gambling houses are allowed to run and saloons open on Sunday are called orderly, there is only one way out of it and that is to And men. men who love goodness and hate meanness. "The sehem of reformers are mosth good, but they have a fatal weakness. Th -y are in advance of the thought of the time. If human nature wai p. rfeet they would work beautifully, but men are frail and sinful, and the work of the ehureh is to make them better. The church stands as the apostle of fraternal enthusiasm, divine fatherhoo.l and human brotherhood, and is patiently doing the hard plowing and cultivating of the human soil whieh will ultimately flt man for these systems of government that have been proposed. "I am here by your consent and the grace of Christ to enrich this city by nriching your characters through the fullness of the blessing of Christ. To have the blessing of Christ Is to be saturated with His spirit, charged with His word as an electric battery is charged with force.

The Rev. Oven Davlen Odell at the Sfrond Preshyterlnn Ohnrch. At the Second Presbyterian church last night the Rev. Owen Davies Odell said in part: "The progress of the past has been very wonderful Indeed. If those prophets who went down to their graves weary, bitter and disillusionized could see the wonderful things of to-day they would be more than satisfied. "And the prophets are still busy telling of the future. All of us can be prophets, but there are so many things that we do not know, cannot tell. Take the question of government. Who knows whether in this country it will work out for the model monarchy or the model republic? Whether the divine right of kings will triumph or whether the divine right of commons will win? Royal or renublican. that is the question? Who knows in what way society will ultimately settle itself? Who knows what will eventually be the most excellent thing in art? There are so many things we want to know. It is impossible to state what in tlfteae, as in many other things, will be the ultimate conclusion. Iti the moral and religious sphere, however, it is different. In that sphere alop.e the goal of progress has bai 0 closed and we know definitely the beat to be attained. "The great question upon which all depends is the Improvement of the soul. 1'pnn that hinges everything. The improvement of the soul is th. soul of improvement. Christ and Christianity have made sure the attainment of the heat. "In Christ we find the greatest progress. The words of Christ were great, but Christ himself is much greater. What ."ifs" or "huts' can be written after His name? What flaw, what wv.ikn.ss. what spot can be found in Him? t'hrist thou paraxon! Pontius Pilate wrote truly when he placed on the cross in thrte languages the words. Here is the King of the Jews.' Christ was then. Is now. the King of culture, as of everything else. Who has ever sounded the depths of that beautiful nature? No one. and It sweetness and love remain a mystery even to those who have studied most His life and works. Christ is the unit of progress."
