EARNESTNESS OF GOD'S LOVE

sion Last Night at St. I’anl’s
Church,
TUB PRIDE OF TIIE HUMAN HEART
Th» nintiUr t:h»ractcrtz«a It ai Idoln.
try—4 Plain aid Op« u Plan of
Istvttloii-tbe G*ntl» Knorb*
lug nt the Heart** Door-
Rev. 11. Orrm Judd preached at St.
Paul's church last night on the eager
solicitude, of God for the nlviUoir of
his people. The sermon was on the
lino of the minister's unusually piain
gospel discourses and carried **Uh it
a power of -the oouvln;i:ig proo; of
God’s lovk for Mu people.
Mr. Judd drwdt Icmgtally in the open
ing of his discourse upon :he amjz‘ng
jtx>nde«ccuslon of our Lord in the «Mger-
ness with which he knocks for adn le
sion ItUo the heart of man—hew that,
instead of waiting to be approached for
salvation, he seeks out the individual
soul euid offers It free, an exalted p.Y.ce
in t’he kingdom of eternal happiness.
He Oipproadhes each individual heart
nnd come* not seeking favor at the
hands of any one, but granting the
greatest bounty, »vhidh is eternal life.
And yet the Is refused admlttfl»:e Into
ihe heijrt. When oir B.tvlour, his son,
<*ame upon earth, he did not meet with
a welcome, but was rejected and des
pised by his own people, and had to
sock Shelter with the nerds. Y?t his
mission was to vn-.er the temple -4 the
human heart and fill ». with the beauty
of holiness. And that la »hc mission of
tlie Holy Spirit now. Men reject Its
bounteous offer *ind deafen their ears
1o the gentle kiuoking at their hearts’
doors. What reapom will you make,
my hearer, when the knee* c>'nes iy
your ear? May It be to receive the
gruyt sa Iva t ion so tre -J.y o'f ci <*d.
Why Is the heart cloned to th* offers
of silvuitlon, ithe knocking of .the Holy
Spirit? The (answer -la easily made.
It Is -because it is already occupied,
and 3he dweller therein in sin. How
is the door barred? By self pride, false
pride, Which to sin. How Is the door
to be Opened? By repentance of sin
nnd am unconditional surrender iio God;
the b.iniahnvent of prl^le and the
recognition <*t the suprnme will of u
saviour. But we ihcar the annrwer, when
the demand Is anade, thaU too much \a
expected. There \Vere pleasures—
wvnldly pleasures ito forego, and an iu-
dlfPerent heart to overcome: This is
the spirit df pride, which begetw preju
dice—'tihtit prejudice Which steeled the
Jews against Chriwt ct-nd his holy imlfl-
siou causing thorn To prosecuite 'him and
forever deny bis claim to divinity. The
Jews -looked askance upon this unedu-
o.rted, unpretentious boy, and could see
r.o raa«onab!e ground for his great
claim as the missionary—mbfe—The nelf
sacrificing splriit from heaven. “He
came to his own atld his awn received
him not,”
God must have tho whole heart. Ho
will not share It with his enemy, the evil
spirit that holds dominion there and
makes men sluves of passion.
Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, aro
not of the spirit, but of the flesh, and
theso cannot reign where .God holds
sway.
Tho sin that dominate^ the lives of men
deafens their cars to tho knocking of the
holy spirit. HtUl the knocking, gentle
knocking, goes on. Then God sends men
—his ministers—out to preach the Gospel.
Thoy are not always welcomed. Many
have offered up their lives for his cause
and still the light goes on, those coming
In succeeding time neither fearing nor
heeding tho fate of predecessors.
But what is this Gospel that is being
spread from sea to sea? How docs It
commend Itself? It is good news, glad
tidings and promise of a life eternal, Joy
ful, beautiful, happy.
The knocking comes In moro ways than
one. God is knocking by Ills holy Word,
by Ills grarlmis promisi s which iikiU- th-
strong nppeal to men of openness, by the
Christian inarrktgo. by civil laws, by ad
versities—when men have sinned and for
gotten God ihen tt is that they fall down
In their despair and open up tho door
to their hearts—nnd, finally, by the visi
tation of death upon loved ones, when
men are made to feel their weakness nnd
total dependence upon something higher
thnn a temporal existence.
Now as to how tho heart's door 1* to
bo opened. It must and can only be by
a complete acknowledgement of sin, a
total surrender. This condition comes
only when man realises the need of u
Savior such aa the Scriptures reveal to
us—perfect in love, displaying in hollncsw
the symmetry of God's spirit. There must
bo repentance. This was the burden of
John's teaching; it is the burden of our
Lord's demand, nnd wns the substance of
Peter's teaching on the Day of Pentecost.
Frld© of the heart la Idolatry; every
man knows this. And the humiliation of
this prido for tho love of God Is exalta
tion. Here faith, porfect faith, finds a
place. We must have faith to accept tho
teaching of tho great man in mystery.
Man must humble himself before God.
bo meek and lowly, as Christ was, to
gain favor with God. This is the oppos
ing spirit to that pride of heart which
deafens It to tho spirit’s demand for ad
mittance.
My friends, tho contemplation of this
problem of eternal life Is the most im
portant thnt you will ever have to solve.
How long will you dotay the task? There
must be a decision one way or thfc other,
or complete indifference to the end of
life, which t» a negative atate that reaps
the ItfraM of ii.it refusal to believe.
Search out what bar It ts that closes
your heart against God. for the time will
come when tho Knocking of the holy
spirit will cease—when you shall do tho
knocking at life'* gate for entrance nnd
the same melancholy words of punishment
will be: “Depart, deport; I yever knew
you." i

ore bo many hinatlcs confined there
thnt some of them are put In the same
cells with the sane prisoners, thcro not
being sufficient room to confine each
one in a separate cell. It would not do
to put two crazy people in tho same

cooled, and ihen forced into an alr-tloftt
car, In ndilch ttie fruit la placed. The
srerm-faden Mr Is in turn forced out of
Itihe car, and the fruit is carried to tis
ilesttoultlan, ia perfectly pure air. Mold
and otiher matter of a funsus nature
originates in the atmosphere and set
tle wpon fruit, where 3i spreads and
soon, nets up decomposition. Where only
pure air ncamhes the fruft, the prooces
of decomposition is arrested for a Ionic
time. By Dr. Perktas’ apparatus pure
air is kept in constant circulation In
the car and any imurity Is farced out
through a small wnt or valve in the
roof. With tout Mltte lrea of power In
the engine, (the process is kept up dur
ing line entire Journey.
•tho new method of shipping fruit will
without douht drive the cold storage
and refrigerator ear system out of the
field, as the ntw nystem is less expen
sive In many ways. In the drat place,
the special car Dr. Perkins had con
structed weighs only 2.300 pounds. The
usual refrigerator cur weighs »7.0t0
pounds. Thus Dr.. Perkins tall place
twelve tons of fruit in his ear before
the car and contonls equal the weight
of an empty refrigerator cor. Th- horse
power required to haul seven of the old
curs will easily draw ten of the new
cars. It is claimed that the loss to the
shippers by the old style averages $109
per car, which makes the loss many
thousand dollars a season. There Is
practically no loss sustained In the new
system. Another advantage claimed is
that it Is not necessary now to pick
half-ripe fruit, which is so hnrd to dis
pose of In the Eastern markets on ac
count of its flavor being lost. The re
cent experiment, proved that fruit,
praiies, berries nnd flowers gathered at
their best reached New Orleans in per
fect condition. This will increase Ihe
prices nnd demand for California- prod
ucts.
That there should be considerable
Jealousy felt by those who have been
carrying fruit- in the past is not to be
wondered nt. When the new fruit car
reached Sacramento a week ago yes
terday some one broke 't open and de
stroyed n par.t of the compressed Mr
apparatus. After a little delay in mak
ing repairs the car went East by tiie
Southern route in order to put the con
tents to n severe test in he 1 ot climate
of the South.
A part of tho fruit hJa been sold in
New Orleans, but the oolk wilt he
brought back to this city m order that
shippers may be satisfied as to it* con
dition ofter traveling In hot weather for
thousands of miles. The' car is expected
to reach this city about the middle of
the coming week. In honor of tlie suc
cess of the compressed air system of
shipping fruit n reception nnd good
time will be held nt the state board of
trade rooms on Market street, rear Sec
ond. an soon as the car arrives.—San
Francisco Chronicle.
