THE ‘PULPIT.
A BRILLIANT UNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. LjUTHER R. DYOTT.
Subject: Sure Foundation*.
Brooklyn, N./ . .
Y.—The Rev. Luther
R. pyott, pnstojr of the United Congee
gational Chunch, preached Sunday
morning on “'ijhe Indestructible Foun
•nations,” He took his texts from
Psalms xi.:3: . “If the foundations lie
destroyed, what can the righteous doV”

Timothy i: 11 i (revised version): “I
know whom X) have believed, and
persuaded thai He is able to guard that
which 1 havt* committed unto Him
against that ^ day.” Mr. Dyott said:
\Yo seek the solid and safe in
things of tile unseen world. This is
of supreme importance. Other things
iu this connection are relatively irn

Room for the active life of a growing
belief is indispensable. A place for the
sweet and sustaining comforts of the
larger hope of humanity is desirable.
The .garniture of refined and immortal
love is ever to be regarded as
than a mere luxury of the inner life,
Other work is important; but only so to
a comparative degree.
Tedious and temporary is the task
of the theologian. Unsatisfactory is
the task oi the creed-maker. Small is
the task where “jarring sectaries”
learn their stilish interest to discern,
and. not unfivquently, tliil to become irre
ligions in name of religion.
modic tlie tfwlt, and thankless the ef
fort of the iconoclast. Feverish and
fitful, imperials, thougl s imewhat sensational
and is tlie task of the
entist. But! all who are concerned
about building character upon
struetible foundations and are actively
engaged in this work, ave realizing
which is of supreme importance, as day
by day. hour by hour, moment by mo
merit, rises that “house not made with
hands.” Hete we must toil with •clear
understanding, magnificent courage
and untiring patience. Here We must
be serious arid certain.
It is a fine intimation and a hopeful
indication that, in some respects, at
least, we are equal to the demands.
.We do desiye foundations which can
not be destroyed. Here we are serious
enough when we are serious at all.
We do not wish to be deceived with
reference v> these things. We delib
erately prefer not to have our fountains
of life poisoned. We object to the
destruction of the foundations of be
lief. Error.: falsehood, deceit are bad
enough anywhere, but they do the most
harm if admitted into tlie affairs of re
ligion. Ke who poisons my body may
only affect the place where my real !
life sojourns for a little while, but he
who poisons my mind and my soul does
me untold harm for eternity. He and 1
may never be able to make satisfactory
repairs of some kinds of destructive
work. Most of us think so. We do
desire the solid and safe things of the
immutable verities of truth which will
stand tlie tests. “If the foundations
be defrayed what can the righteous
do'” I
The strongest emphasis of our times, !
especially in matters of religion, is be
ing placed upon the demand for the
real. Notwithstanding the prevalent
superficiality of our age, the quick
sales of birth-rights for pottage, the
heated passion for pleasure, the,gaudy
show of those who ‘‘glory in appear
ance and flct not in heart;” notwithstand
ing the that we are living in
“grievous times” when so many are
“lovers of self, lovers of money, boast
ful. haughty. Fabers, disobedient to
parents, naturaf unthankful, implaeabie, unholy, slander-j without
affections,
ers. without self-control, fierce, no lov
ers of good, traitors, headstrong, puffed
up, love;* of pleasure rather than lov
ers of God, lidding a fol-ni of godliness
but denying the power thereof;” not
withstanding the fact that in the very
church, itself, there are certain oscilla
tory movements calculated to perturb
the life 'all of some believers; notwith
standing these tilings, and many
more, still the underlying current is to
ward the fuller and freer life, and the
immediate and increasing demand in
the religious life is of the “assurance
of things hoped for, the proving of
things not seen.” and for that certitude
of knowledge which enables the indi
vidual believer to stand upon some in
destructible foundation and say, “X
know whom I have believed, and am
persuaded that He is nbie to guard
that.which I have committed unto Him
against that day.”
Good is deeper than evi! even in per- ’
sons oscillations who clo not profess to be good.
The of belief may be per
mitted ox God Himself, and end in
doing nutcli good for. the common faith
of Christendom. The unsettled condi
tion of certain moods of faith may only
reveal at Inst that there are some
things which can not be shaken and
must rerflain. God may be permitting
the sha,k| m up in order that we may
have the Loving of those things that

altogether satisfactory. Professor
James ehti Isays: “Our religious life Hqs
more, our practical life less, than
it used to on the perilous edge.” But
does not the professor attempt to draw
a distinction where no distinction do
longs?
Is not our religious life, in fact and i
in fine, a practical life? Are not the ; ■
most practical deeds in the world born
of religion? Good life, good thoughts, .
good words, good deeds belong to re- 1
ligion whether they be done in this or

God’s foundations are firm amid all
the mutations which mark the history
of the human race; amid all the storms
and shocks; amid all the disintegrating
agencies; amid the rise and fall of
• empires; amid the birth, the growth.
maturity, the old age and death of
nations: amid things present and
things to come, life and death, in spite
of everything that may oppose, or as
sail, belief, character, hope, love, in
corruptible life all may nave perfectly
indestructible foundations. What are
some of these foundations? Religious
experience; that is an experience of
God in the soul of man is an inde
struetible foundation. Such exper
ience is knowledge derived from fact
and. abiding in spiritual consciousness,
“God is a spirit.” Man is a spirit,
There is possible contact and commun
ion here. There is the possibility of
the best knowledge in the world right
here. Fact, evidence, proofs, know!
edge, they are all here. Knowledge
lias found the proof: proof implies ^iie
existence of the evidence, evidence
implies the existence and reality of
the fact, -while the primary datum
abides in experience,
When a man lias a religious experi
enee then he has an Indestructible
foundation. He cannot then be morally
ignorant. He knows something. That
which a man sees may deceive him.
That which lie hears may not always
he so, but that which he knows, lie
knows, and no man can take it from
him. He is upon a foundation which
cannot be destroyed. Then faith finds
her best function in establishing the
fact, in dealing in the great unseen
realities which are always more than
the seen, in giving the “assurance of
things hoped for, in proving things not
seen.” A man cannot subject such an
experience to the test of the natural
senses. It is too large for such a test
as that, hut he knows lie is right, and
ho knows he is upon an indestructible
foundation. It is not only our knowl
edge of God. There is another incle
structible foundation in His knowledge
of us. It is written: “Howbeit the
firm foundation of God staudeth, hav
ing this seal, the Lord Unoweth them
that are His.” He cannot mistake. We
could not deceive Him, even though we
might wliat deceive others, or be deceived by
we might suppose to be experi
once, even religious experience, even
though we might deceive ourselves.'
Gocb knows. Of this we are certain,
He knows us perfectly. If we are His,
He knows it. If we are not His, by
the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, we
may become Hi s. He will know. He
will cause us to know it. “The secret
of the Lord is with them that fear
Him.” He desires it to be there.
Every man lias just as much right to
know that he is alive spiritually as he
does that he is alive physically. This
knowledge is brought to us in tlie wit
ness of God’s spirit. Thus it is that
we go deeper than religious exper-ience
and find another foundation in that
firm foundation of God—His knowledge
of us. Jesus Christ is another founda
tion. He is our chief cornerstone. The
ideals He holds. His simplicity. His
grandeur, His humanity, His Deity,
His faith, His love, His life—all com
bine to make Him the perfectly incom
parable one among all religious teach
ers; and while in a certain profound
sense Christ nnd Christianity are one
and inseparable, there is still another
sense in which Christ, as our founda
tion. is more than Christianity, even as
the sun is more than the multitudinous
rays which fall upon our little portion
of the earth: Christ is more than Chris
tianity, as the thinker is more than his
thought, as life is more than that
which embodies life. We build, as
Christians, not upon this or that creed
about Christ, but upon Christ Himself,
He is our indestructible foundation.
Our faith rests at last, not in a creed,
though we should ail have a creed,
and not in a book, though we can never
do without the Bible, but in a person,
and that person, Christ, places our
lives upon God.
Let us resolve to go deeper, deeper.
If we are at all unsettled in matters
of religion, we should not despair. We
can find the solid and the safe. Let
ns build there. Let us build according
to the plans of the Supreme Architect
of the universe. Let all build until
humanity shall become a temple corn
plete, filled with the light and music of
Heaven, filled with the life of God; and
then, even though storms may come
and the last night fall about us.-it will
only be the servant of a new day, and
we shall be able to say, “I know whom
I have believed and am persuaded that
lie is able to guard that which I have,
committed unto Him against that day.”
Our foundations cannot be destroyed,

Spot’s Long Jaunt.
It took Spot, a West Side bulldog,

all over the astonished memners oi

Mr. Rehberg went to Holland two
weeks ago for duck shooting. He took
the dog along; hut when he returned
he left Spot behind. Country life did
not suit Spot. It made him sad. One
night, while tied to a tree, he slipped
liis collar and disappeared.
Spot kept no record of his trip, and
therefore Mr. Rehberg can only sur
mise. The conclusion is that he walk
ed all the way from Holland. To do
this he must have made nearly thirty
miles a day. Furthermore, he had no
road map.
Perhaps the most delighted mem

LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking.
Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of
the body. Personal experience with
thousands prove the general statement
true, and physicians have records of
great numbers of cases that odd to the
testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,

Dr. William Langhorst, of Aurora,
has been treating one of the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is O. A. Leach, of Beach
County, and in the last four months he
doctored with ail of the specialists
about the country, nnd has at last re
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his ease is incurable.

The Bells of England.
The meta! tongue of the big bell
rings out many changes to our mod
era ears. It speaks of disaster and
death, of rejoicing and devotion. In
England it often tells of old times
and ^ quaint customs. Mr. Ditchfield,
on Qld England> gives some
of the traditions handed down through
the “tintinnabulation of the bells.”
In some parts of the country the
bell which tolls the old year out Is
called the "Old Lad’s Passingbell.”
In western England the bells peal
merrily on “Oak Apple Day,” to cele
brate the escape of King Charles at
Boscobel. Another bell, rung at the
beginning of Lent, is known as “Pan
cake Bell,” because, in old time
phrase, it “summons people away from
their pancakes to confession and fast
ing.”
A lively peal of bells is often rung
at the end of the Sunday morning ser.
vice, and is called "Pudding Bell.’
Perhaps is purpos is to announce tc
the stay at homes that service is over
nnd that the pudding may come out
of the oven.
Every night at live minutes past
nine “Great Tom,” tl^e great bell of
Christ Church College at Oxford,

foundation of the college.
been but few cases of its kind be
fore, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that tile case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
of coffee for breakfast, two at noon
and one at night. According to the
records of the specialists of this coun
try this is the first case ever caused
by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid nnd
bis case ! s incurable. The fact that
makes the case a queer oue is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has b»eu retained. Accord
ing to the doctor’s statement the young
man will have to give up coffee or the
rest of his night will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined.— Register Ga

Sunlight Kills Blend Races.
The book we spoke of some tlma
ago on “The Effects of Tropical Light
on White Men,” by Dr. C-. E. Woodruff'
of the U. S. Army, has attracted uni
versal attention. Dr. Woodruff takes
the position that the action of the
bright light even c-f i temperate coun
try such as our own is bound to be
harmful to the blon ’ racoc and licit
in the long run these blond race? will
bo driven out of existence by th i dark
er-skinned races on this account,
“Light affects the nervous system,,
producing instability ‘
nervous and lr
ritabilitv,” he says. This is now a
well known fact, and it is accepted
that the purpose of the pigment in the
skin of the natural inhabitants of
sunny countries is to act as a screen
