‘THE PLEASANT PERU 9F ENTHUSIASM/*
Soma one has referred to "The pleasant peril of enthusiasm" as one of
the dangers of an active life It is far better, though, to Hit this risk than
to be guiltv of a life of comparative inactivity, a life marked by a lack of
interest in the world and its problems. Better far to "slop Over” with en
thusiasm in good causes, or even at time in causes that may be mistakes,
than to dillv-dallv through existence, unable to get up enough enthusiasm to
strike for anvthing good or against anything bad. Spread-eagleism, offensive
though it may be to refined taste, is far preferable to an utter lack of
patriotism.
Indifferent ism is certainly the poorest phase of life. The most provok
ing person to be met with is he who never enters into anything with his
whole soul, as though his very life depended on its successful consummation.
There are too many of such men and women all around us. They never get
enough ot a thrill into their narrow lives to wake them up into a determina
tion to do anything or be anything. They are half-hearted creatures who
count for almost nothing in the work of the world. Sometimes they are
indifferent because they are lazy, because they are afraid to have
an opimion, sometimes because they have not mind or soul enough to grasp
what is presented to them. But in any event they are little better than
ciphers.
Ir is the-enthusiastic men who do things. They are the men who con
quer the difficulties of life and climb to the high places in every line of
activity. Without enthusiasm there can be no permanent success. What
man can struggle along, grimly determined to overcome every obstacle
standing between him and that goal on which his eye is set, if he is not
sustained by enthusiasm? Enthusiasm is the fire burning within him that
encourages him in the face of defeat, strengthens him in the hour of failure,
lifts him to his feet when the world has knocked him down, and forces him
on, regardless of what may come, till the prize is his.
The enthusiasm of its leaders is the core of every public cause. Without
the intense conviction that lies at the root of enthusiasm it is impossible
to lead others. What could be expected of a statesman, or soldier, or re
former, who acted as though his mind were burdened with doubt 3 and fears,
who conveyed the impression to those he met that his soul was not in the
work set before him? Speedily he would be replaced or his cause would go
down in ignoble defeat.
Do not be afraid to show enthusiasm, no matter what the cause in
which you have enlisted. Os course you may be called a fanatic, but better
that empty accusation than the stigma of indifferentism to everything. If
you are a prohibitionist, be an enthusiastic one; if you are not, be enthusi
astic. If you are a high tariff man be one in dead earnest, and likewise if
you are a tariff reformer. At least have the virtue of strong devotion to
whatever principles you do espouse. It is never too late to change them if
you find that they were wrong. And when you are convinced, do not be
ashamed to be just as vigorously enthusiastic in the new cause as you
were in the oid. The idle foolish may laugh at you, but down in their
hearts they will finally respect you as a man who is not afraid to wear his
colors publicly and fight in the open for his'views.
There is entirely too much lassitude these days about all sorts of
things. The churches are suffering from an overburden of Christians who
are afraid to be enthusiastic in their great cause. They remind us of the
saying of one of the characters in “John Ward, Preacher,” who thought that
if " those who say they believe in hell were in dead earnest the world
would have been converted long ago.” There is a wealth of suggestion in
his cutting comment. It is the ladadaisical church members who bring
their cause into ridicule and contempt among the worldly minded. They
are really afraid of being accused of enthusiasm.
Cultivate the habit of enthusiasm. It will do you a world of good. If
you are young be enthusiastic about your school, and your sports, about
your favorite authors, about your friends, about the v cation you are going
to pursue, the college you are going to attend, the girl you are going to
.nany. And if you are older, carry the same valuable trait into your daily
life. Bo enthusiastic about your town, your church, your secret orders, your
business, your political party. You will accomplish a hundred times more
if you accept enthusiasm as one of the conquering factors of life, and the
self-satisfaction you will enjoy will be immeasureable.
Be enthusiastic for Americus!
That is one way, and a great way, to aid in its upbuilding.
THE GROWTH OF NATIONAL SENTIMENT.
1 his country is too large for me to love it all. New England is as big
a slice as my heart can contain."—Nathaniel Hawthorne a half century ago.
Organized patriotism necessarily includes the substitution of a national
feeling for mere local pride, with, as a resultant, a high ambition for the
whole country. No country can develop its full strength so long as the parts
w Inch make up tlie whole each puts a feeling of loyalty to the part above
the feeling of loyalty to the whole.” —President Roosevelt.
Hie fifty years that passed between the utterances of these two widely
sepai ated sentiments welded the United States together into a compact,
faith harmonious nation. At the time when Nathaniel Hawthorne expressed
his sentiment it was doubtless equally as strong within the breasts of mil
lions of his fellow citizens. There was no real national sentiment, no pas
sionate lo\e of the county as a whole, no devotion to its broad interests as
a unit. E\erj where local pride took the place of national patriotism. Just
“ s Hawthorne felt, and openly admitted, that his heart was not large enough
to take in so vast a country as the United States, so the man of the South,
and the man of the middle West, and the man of the far West, doubtless
U j h within his breast the same feeling of adoration for his own station and
comparative indifference to other portions of the country, it was the era
of state pride, rather than of national pride.
The growth of true national sentiment in this country has come within
the past quarter century. The civil war welded the east, the middle states,
and the west together, in defence of the Union. Their narrowness of thought
and of aspiration was broadened in a large measure by their common stand
foi the preservation of the United States in its entity. The vast develop
ment of those sections which followed the war, the Intermixture of their
peoples bv the flowing hither and thither of their sons and daughters, amal
gamated them as they had not been amalgamated in the previous century of
o«t history. The unfortunate policy of reconstruction days prevented the
absorption of the South and its sentiment of localism prevailed, a common
danger forcing its people more and more back upon themselves and against
sections which failed to appreciate the true situation below Mason and
Dixon s line. With the removal of black domination came the establishment
of more cordial relations between the South and the other sections, and the
gradual upbuilding of a true national sentiment, aided by such men as Sidney
Lanier, the poet, and Henry Grady, the publicist, who, in the broadness of
their souls, realized that the time was ripe for the recrudescence of a com
mon country, enjoying the love of all its people, such as it had never known
since the soldiers of the Revolution laid down their arms.
The rapid industrial development of the South aided them in this work,
hinging about more of a community of business interests between the South
and the North. The Spanish-American war, once more bringing the men
ot the fcouth m arms side by side with those of other sections, may be said
to have completed the breaking down of the barrier. Today, as a result of
tbe silent but never ceasing revolution that has been going on in public
sentiment, the United States approach** closer to being a true nation than
before in ns history. No one seems to hare felt particularly surprised
at Hawthornes declaration that New England was as large a slice of the
countrj as he could love. It was the current thought of his generation. A
sinn ar expression today from a writer, or other public man, of equal prom
t tt "on ( doiotles sprovoke a storm of indignant remonstrance. The
era 01 such narrow provincialism has passed away. Peojfie still love their
cities, their states, and their sections, but rising above ail such merely local
sentiment there spreads a deeper, more intense, more patriotic love the
love of country. '

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON I, SECOND QUARTER, INTER
NATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 7.
Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxviil, 1-5,
10-22—Memory Verses, 13, 14—Gold
en Text, Gen. xxviii, 15—Commen
tary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
[Copyright, 1907, by American Press Association.]
This lesson follows closely the last
one we had In Genesis three weeks
ago and takes up the story just where
that lesson left it. We see Jacob leav
ing home to go away into the land
from which his mother came full forty
years before (xxvi, 34} that he might
take a wife from among the daughters
of Laban, his mother's brother. It is
written in Hos. xil, 12, concerning this,
“Jacob fled into the country’ of Syria,
and Israel served for a wife, and for a
wife he kept sheep.” In the story of
Isaac and Rebckah, Jacob and Rachel,
Joseph and Asenath, Moses and Zip
porah, Boas and Ruth and others there
Is much that is typical or at least sug
gestive of Christ and Israel or Christ
and the church, remembering always
that Israel and the church are never
the same.
The special blessing given to Abra
ham, Isaac and Jacob centers in the
land and the people (verse 4), and the
certainty of the fulfillment of the
promises is the topic of all prophecy.
The name God Almighty—El Shad
dai—the all sufficient One or the mighty
God who is enough for all, by which
He revealed Himself to Abraham and
afterward to Jacob (xvli, 1; xxxv, 11),
seems to have taken hold of their
hearts, for Isaac uses it in verse 3 of
our lesson, and Jacob uses it in his
blessing upon Joseph (xlix, 23). It is
associated with blessing and fruitful
ness and separation unto God Himself
and Is set forth In John xv as abiding
in the vine that there may be much
fruit to God’s glory. Not merely life,
but life abundantly, is His desire for
us, and all hindrance is on our side
(John x, 10; Ps. Ixxxi, 13-16).
-"We turn to Jacob on his lonely jour
ney from Beersheba, almost the ex
treme south, and we may imagine
that as he journeyed the enormity of
his sin took hold of him and the good
ness of God wrought true repentance
In his heart, so that on this night of
which our lesson tells us he was prob
ably a true penitent in God's sight.
The place was not far from the place
of Abram’s second altar in the laud
where he worshiped God. Compare
xil, 8, and verse 19 of our lesson.
With the earth for his bed. stones for
his pillows and the sky for his canopy,
he lay down to sleep, not knowing the
special interest that the God of his
fathers was taking in him because of
His promises to them. He slept and
he dreamed, and how beautiful his
dream—a ladder from earth to heaven,
with the Eord above it and angels
ascending and descending upon it
(verses 12, 13;, an assurance of the
Lord's watchful care, of connection
between heaven and earth and a
prophecy of coining events yet to be
fulfilled. I would not be surprised If
some day we shall be told by Na
thanael that he was meditating upon
this very vision when Jesus saw him
under the fig tree, for Jesus Himself
evidently refers to it in connection
with the glory of the kingdom (John
1, 50, 51).
Some helpful lessons are suggested
by the ladder as to the way from earth
to heaven. There Is no way but the
one God has provided, even He who
said, “I anrthe way.” He came down
to earth, took upon Him our nature,
died In our stead, rose from the dead
and returned to the Father, where He
now Is for us. The angels ministered
to Him while He was here, and we
are assured that they minister to us
(Heb. 1, 14). As there is no possibility
of mounting a ladder while one foot
Is on the earth, so there is no possi
bility of being saved without commit
ting oneself wholly to Christ The full
significance of the ladder will be seen
only when the kingdom comes, and all
nations, to their great surprise, shall
see that God meant exactly what He
said in reference to the land and the
people and all the families of the
earth. The first promise to Abram
concerning his seed was that it should
be as the dust of the earth, then as the
stars of heaven; then both were com
bined. After that they were divided
and the star promise given to Isaac
and the dust or sand to Jacob (Gen.
xiii, 16; xv, 5; xxli, 17; xxvi, 4; xxviii,
14). There is at least a suggestion
here of Abraham’s two seeds, the
heavenly and the earthly, the church
and Israel, the new Jerusalem and Je
rusalem on the earth, all of which will
be clearly seen in the kingdom.
We may always say, as Jacob said.
‘'The Lord is in this place” (verse 16),
but we need never say, “I knew it
not,” for we have His assurance, ”Lo.
I am with you alway.” But, more
wonderful still, each individual believ
er is now a Bethel, a house of God,
according to John xiv, 23.
Taking verses 20-22 Just as they read,
it looks as If Jacob was making a bar
gain with God, saying that ft God
would do as He had said then Jacob
would give Him a tenth of all. When
Abram gave tithes to Melchizedek,
there was no such bargaining, but a
glad giving, a cheerful giving, such as
God loves. Beading verse 20 “since
God” instead of “if God” looks more
like, faith.
