WHITE, j PASTOR SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH | Text: "WheUoever things are lovely and of good report. If there be any virtue and It there be any praise, think on theee things."— Phil. 5:8. PROTEST that If aome treat I rower would agree to make me 1 always think what Is true and do whet la right on condition of being turned Into a sort of clock and wound up every morning I should Instantly close with the offer.” When Thomas Hurley, toward the end of hla life, gave earnest expression to this sentiment heswon the sympathy of good men everywhere. He wanted to be good. I-et us trust, agnostic and father of agnostics though he was, that he did not wholly miss the comfort of the fourth Beatitude, which Dr. Mc Laren says ought to be rendered'. "Blessed are the men and women that long more than for anything else to be good.” Scarcely had Mr. Hurley's proposition appeared on this side of the water be fore Henry Drummond accepted Its challenge. In hla Incomparable essay on "The Changed Life" he ventured to show that the Apostle Paul had met the Issue and had provided a formula of sanctification for Mr. Hurley and for ever," other man who wanted to be good. The formula he found In Second Corinthians 8:18, "We all with nnvetled face reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord aft transformed Into the same Image from glory to glory even as de.mi lha t .nr/1 t ha Hnlflt '* from the Lord, the Spirit; That was to say. J>y contemplation of Christ, by steadfast thinking upon Christ, a man would grow like Him. Such is the alchemy or thought. With the theology of this proposition, what It neglects and what Its Implies, we are not now concerned. But there !a the soundest basis In Scripture and expe rience for the principle that to an enormous extent men are what they are because they think what they do. "As a man thlnketh In the heart so Is To be spiritually minded Is life In and peace; to be carnally minded Is death.” , . If you think on "whatsoever Is true” vou will "love, honor and obey the truth; In a word, become truthful and loyal of soul. If you think on "what soever Is honest" you will cherish and protect your honor. If you think on "whatsoever la Just” you will Increase falrmlndedness. If you think on "whatsoever la pure," unsullied flowers will flourish and wave their white plumes In your soul, and the vulgar and malodorous weeds wilt droop and die for lark of soil. If you think on "whatsoever Is lovely and of goo/I re port," strength and beauty will adorn your manhood and virtue and praise will flow like living waters from your life. It Is a holy philosophy of charac ter. "Think on these things." Poten tially our thoughts are more important than our acts. Our actions are external and occasional, reitulring the Induce ment of circumstances to draw them out, but our thoughts are Internal, per sistent and spontaneous. "He that would govern his actions by the laws of virtue," said Hamuel Johnson, "must regulate his thoughts by those of rea son; he must keep quiet from the re- rrsses of his heart and remember that the pleasures of fancy and the emo tions of desire are more dangerous as they are hidden since they escape the sense of observation and operate equal ly In every situation without the con currence of opportunities." The duty of right thinking Is the sternest of life's duties. Our thoughts are the staple food of a/ur souls. We shall some day lenrn what the best teachers are putting into our modern systems of education, that whatever Induces thought affects the fabric of charac ter. that education must have the no blest and purest surroundings, since outward objects and sounds stimulate the Internal machinery to activity. One of our most able Southern educators In a recent commencement address, In which he was pleading for more attrac tive surroundings for our common schools/ said that he would like to see these words written on the lintels of every school room: "Whatsoever things are lovely and of good report. If there be any virtue and any praise, think on these things." Mud and Stars. The pow'er of personal will, of choice of taste, of habit and of disposition Is directly the object of appeal here. evil are here. I should say the prison bars are here, too. We all have to look and think within our limitations. Bun- yan had these two characters In his Immortal allegory—the man with the muck-rake and the man who Journeyed with the delectable mountains In view. I need not tell you that one was Chris tian, the other a nameless fellow. The/ are types that persist In human society. How many homespun Illustrations one would find In a day’s Journey through the streets. What a multitude of mud- gnsers our life affords. The cynic, the pessimist, the fault-finder, the grumpy These two men are representatives of contrary philosophies of life. The mud was there and the stars were there; the things lovely and of good report are here and the things ugly and of critic and his tribe, who does not know them? But alas! they never know themselves. In varying degrees of mood the mud gaser sits on the high seat of human contempt and Issues edicts of mean comment on all who pass by. He never sees a good quality In a man and never falls lo are a bad one. "He Is the humnri owl vigilant In darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin and never acting noble game.” If he turns attention to politics every man Is selfish, greedy, corrupt. Every man has his praise. The government Is n nest of rascals. Presidents and gover nors are dominated by unpatriotic mo tives. If he goes to church a slight dis comfort, an Imagined neglect of the ushers, an unploaalng anthem, too many stanzas of a hymn or five minutes too long In the sermon, will cause him to condemn the congregation which has spent 8100,000 to build a comfortable church; the ushers who are where they are because they ace known to be warm-hearted and considerate men; the choir which Is devoted to the prepara tion of pleasing, helpful music; the hymn that a saint saw angels through and the preacher who has labored and prayed with Ood at his aide for the sermon, all are doomed and delivered to dullness and miser/ In one short breath of withering criticism. Who does this? The mud-gazer. Why? Because he Is a mud-gazer. Sometimes the mud-gazer, forgive the profanation. Is not a man. Women sometimes are found who do not look for the stars. To the credit of John Bunyan'a chivalry, let It be said that his character with the muck-rake was a man. Possibly If that other great John—John Wesley—had written the story It would have been the woman with the muck-rake Instead. The critical habit abounds among women as well as among men. A taw- REV. DR. JOHN E. WHITE. dry dress, an Ill-wrought bonnet, a distasteful color, an Inelegant stride, though It were Madonna herself, well, shuts out all the stars for her. Mothers may make mud-gazers of'thelr children very easily. Thgy then should be very patient with the child when he thoughtlessly humiliates a cripple on the street by directing attention to tho doformlty. But "one saw stars;” one- thought on the things that were lovely and of good report. He was then no prisoner. His soul swept out and dwelt In the empyseum. How much finer life would be If we would live more In the sunshine! How much tnflre powerful our Christianity If It saw the world through' the eyes of Christ! Perfect and pure though He was, He did not see the sinner In the saint, but the saint In the sinner, saw Peter In Simon, Paul In Huul and a lovely woman In the Magdalen. The Question of "Canned Meats.” This text Is a hammer to strike with. On the anvil of truth let It ring out warning to those who are feeding the hungry appetites of souls; to the mak ers of books that drip poison; to the makers of newspapers that purvey moral filth. Dr. Washington Gladden says that If Isaiah were living today he would be the heart and soul of a great, clean, outspoken, radical, Inde pendent, .'righteous newspaper. Allow me, then, to Imagine that the Apostle Paul were here now to lay his hand upon these mlghtest levers of civiliza tion, the dally newspapers. He would view with unutterable alarm what you and I are viewing with dull hearts. He would cry In consternation and Indig nant remonstrance against what scarcely awakens a murmur in us. He would stretch forth his hand In the name of God and humanity to stay the Inundation of stuff that reeks with Immorality and unchastlly and foul ness which our newspapers pour out almost every day on our hearth-stones for us and our children to eat and di gest. I asked an able news editor In our city recently what. In bis honest Judg ment, was the effect on my boy or on young people generally to read the newspapers of the week Just passed, when a deluge of murders, adulteries and moral scandals bad filled their col umns: “It can have only a bad effect, of course," he said. But the blame Is not on the. news paper. It Is our business to find out where hell broke loose last and tell It first, our business to print all the news. It Is your business to decide whether your boy shall read It or not.” If that Is a true and just statement of the case and places the responsibility fair ly where It belongs, then I say "God pity the country; we are almost help less.” But Is It true? Have the news- pn|>ers no responsibility? In the Anal Justice that must be. Is there no moral guilt attached to the collection and dissemination of that which acts as moral poison on .the minds of the young. It Is current as a theory of crime among newspaper men that the publication of one great sensational crime brings on Immediately a flood of Imitative crimes. Have the newspa pers no responsibility then? By their theory If the newspapers were not to publish the crime or were to treat It without sensation, other crimes would not be stimulated. Here Is the pulpit and the school teacher admonishing I he people "whatsoever Is lovely a of good report, think on these thing Here are the newspapers, not one, but seven’days in the week, teaching the people "whatsoever Is abysmal In Im morality and vile In news, think on these things." There Is a wretched rcisteke somewhere. Madam* Roland said: "Oh, Liberty, how many crimes are committed In thy name!" The parents of children In the city have a for more hopeless plaint: "Oh, Prog- ress, how many young minds are mur dered at thy altar!” It would not be just to say that the newspapers are public enemies. They are public servants. They minister a vast good. They are a moral necessity t-> 'our civilization.' But It Is true to say that every newspaper of the mod em city type must share with other agencies generally accounted vicious, tiic responsibility for many a sorrow, many a woe, many a vice, and many a. crime, for they practically monopolize tiie mental food Industry of the masses. The Chicago meat packers are purvey ors to the stomachs of the people; the new* papers are purveyors to the souls of tin people. A keen moral sense, oh. my masters, a keen, fair Justice.” What Are Christians For, Anj/way? "If there be any virtue and If there be any praise.” Does the apostle raise a doubt? Let It be so then. The lovely things are worth digging after. It wilt require some effort often to find the loveliness. Virtue hides in hard places. But is It not a great thing to be a man who believes It Is there just the same? Sir Humphrey Davis found Michael Foradag In the lad who wash ed his bottles. The beauty pf It Is that In an age like ours —harsh, compeltlve, exacting— there are men who still believe that there's more good than bad, more truth than error, more God than devil. Who can pretend to know that the man we dislike has more bad than good In him or the woman the world despises and casts off has sat In the depths of her woman's soul the patience of a lovers' fidelity, a mother's tenderness, a friend's loyalty, a neighbor's sympathy and mayhnp In the casket of her Inner soul the pearl of great price, far out weighing In the sight of God her single weakness? Suppose with scent as keen as .the cynic you begin to marrow the i.-earch for virtue and nobleness. Take iPMr Mk and Inventory all the kind ness and gentleness and unselfishness and charity and noble-mindedness you will find In a single city block. Do you think you would say the world Is overwhelmingly bad? Take life broadly. Is there In the balances of just judgment any room for the overwhelming pessimism that permeates our preaching? Are we ready to assert with this book of the record open before us that Jesus Christ Is the authority for the mood that con trols Christianity In some of Its cen sorious types? He wept over Jerusa lem. He wept, but He did not despair He wept, but He did not denounce! The Bible never despairs. God's In. finite hopefulness Is to be placed along side of Ills omnipotence. ' It is the privilege of the Christian to companion with Him who traversed life llmltlessly and who said Hts last words In the tone of a conqueror. We ought to cultivate the dominant moods of Christ. We ought therefore to find sweet In every bitter, Joy In every pain light In every darkness, and the good in everything. > ' , John Mosely, summing up In his Life of Gladstone, says that what every body saw coloring all Gladstone’s lire and statesmanship was a kind of un- wordllness which exposed him to de signing counsellors. But, says Mr. Mosely, who Is himself an unbeliever as If crushing the criticism in a sen tence: "What are Christians for, any. way?” What are Christians for, any- way? What are Christians for. If not to be as lights In dark places? What are Christians for, If not to scatter seeds of kindness and make sunshine In the world? What are Christians for, If not to live and lift above the fog? What are Christians for. If not to think of the heavenly and reflect It? What are Christians for, If not to pilgrim In the power of an endless life and In the enthusiasm of a boundless hope? Oh, Christ, what are thy people for, If not to think no evil, rejoice not in Iniquity, bear all things, have faith In all things, and hope all things? In the true klngddm of God the unkind, un charitable and the Inconsiderate, the critical, the cruel and the unmerciful will be shunned even as now the vul gar and the unchaste are avoided In the companies of the, refined and the cultivated. SAN FRANCISCO AND ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON By Df?. JAMES W. LEE, PASTOR TRINITY M. E. CHURCH N O oiy can fall to obaerve, as he goes about In the world, the en hancement places, roads, rivers, mountains and material objects of every kind, get from connection with the lives of great men. The fact that Shakeapeare waa born In Stratford- upon-Avon, lived there, -married Ann Hathaway there, died-there,-and waa buried there, la worth more annually to that little English town than all the wheat produced year by year In the county of Warwickshire. This fact alone draws twenty thousand pilgrims every year to tho place. Ayr, Scot land, la Indebted to the poet Burns for the thirty thousand tourlata who annu ally vlalt hla birthplace. Who would ever go to Concord, Mass., but for the slgnlflcance given the village by Emer son and Thoreau and Hawthorne? Who would leave Boston to see Amea- bury but for Whittier? People remain between trains at Newburyport to see the old church where Whltlleld Is bur led. A great man baa only to stop for an hour under the shade of a tree to make It Immortal. Generul Mercer waa shot on the battlefield of Princeton, and a pyramid of cannon balls marks the spot forever. Thackeray apends a weak with hla friend, Andrew Low, a cotton merchant In Savannah, Ga., end the old vine-covered Southern munslon lakes on added Interest and value. Dr. J. J. Lafferty, of Virginia, was accus tomed years ago to present hla par ticular friends with mallets made from the wood of a tree that grew out of the grave of "Stonewall' Jackson. The pen used by a great man to sign an Important state document at once be- comes of priceless value. A button from the coat ot George Washington Is of more Interest than a diamond. A K bble. worn round by the waves of he Galilee, Is esteemed like a Jewel. A drop of water from the River Jor dan Is worth more than a million gal lons from the Amaaon. Reflections like these passed through my mind ns 1 stood, not many montha ago, by the monument erected through public subscription In the Plaza of Han Francisco to Robert Louis Stevenson. It Is a granite pedestal,' supporting a bronze galleon, designed by Mr, Bruce Porter. Upon one side of It are carved the following words taken from Ste venson’s own writings'. "To be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for hla presence, to re nounce. when that shail be necessary, nnd not be embittered, to keep a few friends but these without capitulation, above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself—here Is a task for all that a man baa of fortitude and delicacy.” Slevensun came To San Francisco from Scotlund In August, 1878, but waa so much shaken by the lung Journey that he looked upon Ills arrival like u man at death’s door. To recover his health he Immediately went south, about 160 miles, and camped out by himself In the coast range of moun tains beyond Monterey. After this, he went down to Monterey, noted the world over for Its beautiful hotel In the midst of uinple grounds, where lie re mained until the middle of December. Hut whllq there was u umgiilflcent ho tel al Monterey, Stevenson did not stop there. He lodged with a doctor and got Tils meals at Slmoneau's restau rant. Stevenson describes It as having a barber shop In front and a kitchen at the back. The dining room waa a little, chill, bare, adobe affair, and upon the table waa always to be found a dlali of green peppers and tomatoes. At any time, Juat before a meal, 81- tnoneau, the proprietor, could be beard all about the kitchen rattling among the dlahea. With Slmoneau Stevenson says "he played chess every day and dlscuaaed the universe." After the mid dle of December he went back to San Francisco and remained there until May 19, 1880, when he waa married to Fanny Van de Grift, In the houae of Rev. Dr. Scott. Immediately after his marriage he went to the country, 60 miles north of San Francisco, to seek health In the mountain*. Here he took possession of all that waa left of an old mining town, and found the data for that Interesting work of hla, "The Silverado Squatters." In July he left California, and with hla wife returned to Scotland to visit his father. He was therefore at this lime In California not quite a year. He returned to the United States In 1897 and by Ihe 7th of June, 1898, he was back In Callfor. nla. Soon afterwards he ealled with his family on the Casco for a long cruise In the South seas, where among Ita Islands he spent the remainder of Ills life. While sojourning In San Francis co, before he sailed away for the last time, he and Mrs. Stevenson lodged at the Occidental hotel. The details ot Stevenson's life In San Francisco are given to show that while he was there but a short time, It was long enough to give new Interest and color to every spot and hotel and person he met. It was long enough lo awaken Interest sufficient In him to secure a monument to his memory. Not one of the multi millionaires' on Knob Hill, whose pala tial residences are now In ruins, lent hs much Interest to Sun Francisco In ull Ills life as did Stevenson by a few months' residence there. Not that mil lions ure counted In public esteem against a man, but more than millions or billions Is the man himself. If Ihe man who comas Into the possession of millions of money happens to be one who uses his weulth iih Stevenson used his genius, to bless mankind, then the millionaire will be honored not be cause of hla money simply, but because he used It nobly. The kind of Interest Stevenson lent to Ban Francisco It la not within the power of an earthquake to break, or destroy. I wish I could awaken among our young people Interest In Robert Louis Stevenson, at this time, when so many precious momenta are being wasted In reading the shallow, worthless books of Action, which are coming ao constantly and niultltudlnouily from the press. Stevenson was the greatest literary art. 1st and genius of the generation Just past. . Who that has ever read It can ever forget hla “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. lantrae," "The Wrecker” "The South Seas,” etc., and you can form soma conception of one of the moat heroic and Interesting characters of the age. After his various cruises In the South seas, he bought for himself a planta tion of four hundred acres of, land In DR. J. W. LEE. Hyde"—the very flrst of his work* lo give him world-wide fame? Not only his works'of fiction, but his easaya are taking rank with the very flnest In the langiiuge. There Is nothing more thrill ing In the whole history of literary achievement than the "South Sea Cruises" of Robert Louis Stevenson, sailing leisurely from one Island lo an other, meeting the king of this one and of that, forming friendships' with sav ages, and amid It all, writing those wonderful stories, which reveal a new power In the English language to de scribe the weird, the wild and the mys tical. Think of a man for years on the very verge of the grave, yet lighting denth, ns If face to face with Ihe grim monster, nnd while holding him at bay with one hand, using hla |>en with the other to write "The Master pt Bal- the Island of Upolo, In the ’Samoan group. Here, overlooking Apia, the capital and port of the Island, he built a house and lived In It until he died. Having permanently settled himself, he spent Ills lime when not writing In Improving his estate and In advancing the, mental, moral and political condi tions of the poor natives he found liv ing around him. He attended church, taught a Sunday school class, and held' In his household family prayers dally. Ho died on the 3d.of December, 1894. On the evening before his death, which was Sundny, he uttered In the pres ence of his family the following prayer, which he composed for the occasion: “We beseech Thee, Lord, to behold us with favor, folk of many families and nations gathered together In the peace of this roof, woak women, and women subsisting under the covert of Thy patience, be patient still; suffer us yet a while longer; with our broken pur poses of good, with our Idle endeavors against evil, suffer us awhile longer to endure nnd (If It may be) help us to do better. Bless to us our extraordina ry mercies; If the day comes when these must be taken, brace us to play the man under affliction. Be with our friends, be with ourselves. Go with each of us to rest; If any awake temper to them the dark hours of watching; and when-the day returns, return to us, our Sun nnd Comforter, and call us with morning faces and with morning hearts—eager to labor; eager to be the day be marked for sorrow, strong to endure It. We thank Thee and praise Thee; and In words of Him (o whom this day Is sacred, cloee our oblation.' By hla own direction he waa burled on the Summit of Vaea, near hla Island home, and after the Samoan fashion, a large tomb was built above hla grave. On either side of the tomb there la a bronze plate. On one of them Is writ ten his owti requiem beneath hla name thus: Alpha' Robert Louis Omega 1860. Stevenson. 1894. “Under the wide, and starry; sky, Dig the grave and let.one lie; . Glad did I live and’ gladly die ■ . ■ And 1 laid me down with a will This be the verse you grave for me; Here he lies where he longed to be; Home Is the Satlor, home from the sea, And the Hunter home from the hill." StevensPn profoundly believed in foreign missions. "In an address made to the Women's Missionary Association and members of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church of New South Wales, at Sydney,- March 18, 1893,- he said at the. opening of- his remarks: T suppose I am In Ihe posi tion of many other persona. I had a great prejudice against missions In the South Seas, and 1 had no aooner com* here. than that prejudice was at first reduced and at last annihilated. Those who deblaterate against missions have only one thing to do, to come and see them on the spot. They Will aee a great deal of good dona; they will aee a race being forwarded In many dif ferent directions, and 1 believe If they be honest persons, they will cease to complain of mission work and Its ef fects. " 'The true are of the missionary, as It seems to me, an outsider, the most lay of laymen, and for that reason, on the old principle that the bystander sees most of the game, perhaps more than usually well able to judge—Is to profit by the great, I ought really to say the vast—amount of moral force reservotred In every race, and to ex pand and to change and to lit that power to new Ideas, and to new possi bilities of advancement.' ” Mrs. Stevenson, In the Introduction to a little book entitled "Prayers Writ ten at Vatllma, by Robert Louis Ste venson," says: "As soon aa our house hold had fallen Into a regular routine, nnd the bonds of Samoan life began to draw us more closely together. Susl- tala (the name the natives gave to Robert Louis Stevenson) felt the ne cessity of Including our retainers (ser vants) In our evening devotions. I sup. pose ours was tha only white man's family In all Samoa except those of ths missionaries, where the day naturally ended with, this homely, patrlarcIM custom.”, • "With my husband," continues Mrs. Stevenson, “prayer, the direct appeal, was a necessity. When he waa happy he felt Impelled to offer thanks for un deserved Joy; when In sorrow or pain, to call for strength to bear what must be borne." One of the most beautiful of Steven son's prayers Is as follows: "Lord, behold our family here assem bled, we thank Thee for this place In which we dwell; for the love that unites .us;, for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect tomorrow; for the health, ths work, the food, and the bright skies, that make.our lives delightful; for our friends In all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers In this foreign Isle. Let peace abound In our small com pany. Purge out of every heart tha lurking grudge. Give us grace nnd strength to forbear and to perseveri. Offenders, give us the grace to accept and to forgive offenders. Forgetful ourselves, help ua to bear cheerfully the forgetfulness of others. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends; soften to us our enemies. Bless ua If it may be in all our Innocent endeavors. If It may not, give us the strength to encounter that which la to come, that we b« brave In peril, constant In tribulation, temperate In wrath and In all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death* loyal and loving one lo another. As the clay to the potter, as the wind mill to the wind, as children to their sire, we beseech of Thee this help ana mercy for Christ'* sake.” That one with such wealth of mind and heart should have lit up the South Sea* with a new light la not strange Pilgrims In the years to come "III climb that lonely hill above his horns In the Island of Upola, where he sleeps the last aleep, to stand again mnld ths scenes of hla closing years.
