EARNESTNESS OF GOD'S LOVE This Was Mr, Ju'id’aSubjtct of Discus 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 Call an 1 bcc the handsome oil heat era at Dunlop Hardware Company.

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.
