•old Washington, X). Ai a time when the
discussion ot creeds Is being vigorously
ami somewhat bitterly revived tills dis¬
course ot Dr. Talmug.i has a special In¬
terest. The text is John xi., 44, “Loose
hlua and let him go.”
My BIOlo Is, at tlie place of this text,
written all over with lead peuctl marks
made at Bethany 011 tiie ruins ot the house
of Mury and Martha and Lazarus. We dis¬
mounted from our horses on the way up
from Jordan to the Dead Sea. Bethany
was the summer evening retreat of Jesus.
After spending the day In the hot city of
Jerusalem lie would come out there almost
every eveniug to the house of Ills three
friends. I think the oceupnnts ot that
house were orphaus, for the father and
another are not mentioned. But the son
■and two daughters must, have inherited
property, for It must Imvo been, judging unii
from what I saw of the foundations
the size of the rooms, an opulent home.
Lazarus, the brother, was now at tho head
ot the household, and his sisters depended
•on him and wore proud of him, for he was
very popular, ami everybody liked lihn,
•and these girls were splendid girls—Martha
a first rate housekeeper and Mary a spir
Itue.lle, somewhat dreamy, but nlTeetlonatH,
and as good a girl as could he found In all
X’ulestine. But oue day Lazarus got slek.
The sisters were iu consternation. Father
gone and mother gone, they feel very ner¬
vous lost they lose their brother also. Dis¬
ease did Its quick work. How the girls
lunig over his pillowl Not much sleep
■about that house—no sleep at all.
From tho characteristics otherwise de¬
veloped I judge that Martha prepared the
-medicines and made tempting dishes of
■food tor the poor appetite of the sufferer,
‘but Mary prayed and sobbed. Worse and
worse gets Lazarus until tbo doctor uu
xiouLioes that he can do no more. The
shriek that weut up from that household
xvhen the last breath had been drawn and
•the two sisters were being led by sym¬
of pathizers info the adjoining room all those
us eun Imagine who lmve had our own
hearts broken. But why was not Jesus
there, us He so often had been? Fur away
iu the country districts, preaching, healing
■other sick, how unfortunate that tills orn ul
potent doctor had not been at that do¬
mestic crisis in Bethany. When at last
Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus bad
been buried four days, and dissolution had
taken place. I 11 that climate tho brenth

been awakened into life, unbe¬
lievers might have said lie was only iu a
•comatose state or in a sort of trance and
by some vigorous manipulation or power
Jul stimulant vitality had been renewed.
No! Four days dead.
At the door of tiie sepulcher is a crowd
•of people, but the three most memorable
•are Jesus, wiio was the family friend, and
the two bereft sisters. We went iuto the
■traditional tomb one December day, and
it is deep down anil dark, and with torches
we explored it. We found it all quiet that
afternoon of our visit, but the day spoken
-of in the Bible there was present an ex¬
cited multitude. I wonder what Jesus will
■do? He orders tho door of the grave re¬
moved, and then He begins to descend the
stops, Mary and Martha close, alter Him
Hind the crowd after them. Deeper down
into the shadows and deeper! Tho hot
tears of Jesus roll over His cheeks and
plush upon the backs of His bands. Were
«ver so many sorrows compressed into so
small a space us in that group pressing on
down after Christ, ail the time bemoaning
that He bad not come before?
Now ah the whispering and all the cry¬
ing and all the sounds of shuffling feet are
stopped. It is the silence of expectancy.
Death has conquered, but now the van¬
quisher of death confronted the scene.
Amid the awful hush of tho tomb the fa¬
miliar name which Christ hud oTteu had
upon His lips In the hospitalities of the vil¬
lage home came back to His tongue, anil
with a pathos and au almlghtiuess of which
the resurrection of tiie last day shall only
be an echo He cries, “Lazarus,come forth!”
The eyes of the siumberer open, and he
rises and comes to the foot of the steps and
with great difficulty begins to ascend, for
tile cerements of the tomb are yet on bim,
and his feet are fast, aud bis hands are
fust, aud the impediments to all bls inove
meats are so great that Jesus oommauds:
“Take off these eeremeuts! Remove these
hindrances! Unfasten these graveclothes!
Loose him and let him go!”
Oh, I am so glad that arter the Lord
raised Lazarus Hu went on and commanded
the loosening of the cords that bound his
feet, so that he could walk, aud the break¬
ing off of the cerement that bound bis
hands, so salutation, that lie could stretch out off his
■arms In and the tearing ot
•the bandage from around his jaws, so that
ho could speak. What would resurrected had
fife have been to Lazarus if be not
■been freed from all those crlpplements of
•bis body? I am glad that Christ com¬
manded his complete emancipation, say¬
ing, “Loose bim and let him go.”
The unfortunate thing now Is that so
tunny Christians are only halt liberated.
They have been raised from the death and
burial of sin into spiritual life, but they
yet have the graveclothes on them. They
are like Lazarus, hobbling up the stairs of
the tomb bound hand aud foot, and the
object of this sermon Is to help free their
body and free their soul, aud I shall try to
obey the Master’s command that comes to
me and comes to every minister of re¬
ligion, “I.oose him and let him go.”
Many are bound hand and foot by re¬
ligious creeds. Let uo man misinterpret
mo as antagonizing creeds. I have eight
or ten of them—a creed about religiou, a
creed ubout art, a creed about social life,
h creed about government, aud so on. A
creed is something that'll man believes,
whether It be written or unwritten. The
I’resbyterlau Church is now agitated
about its creed. Some good men in ft are
for keeping it because It was framed from
the belief of John Calvin. Other good men
in it want revision. I am with neither
party. Instead of revision I want substi¬
tution. IwaSiorry to have the question
<iist urbed at all. The creed did not binder
us from offering the pardon and the com¬
fort of the Gospel to all men, and the West¬
minster Confession has not Interfered with
me oue minute. But now that the eleffrlo
lights have been turned on the imperfec¬
tions of that creed—and everything that
man fashions Is imperfect—let us put the
old creed .respectfully aside and get u brand
new one.
It is impossible that people who lived
hundreds ot years ago should fashion an
appropriate creed tor our times. Johu
■Calvin was a great and good man, but he
died 336 years ago. I could call the names
ot tweuty living Presbyterian ministers of
religion who Calvin. cquld The make a better creed
titan Johu nineteenth century
ought not to he oalled to sit at the fuel of
the sixteenth.
“But," yon say, "It Is the same oldBiblo,
and John Calviu had that as well as the
present student of the Scriptures.” Yes;
wo it is the same old sun iu the heavens,
But iu our time it has gone to making
daguerreotypes nnd photographs. It is
tho same old water, but iu our ceutury it
has gone to running steam engines, it is
the same old electricity, hut In cur time It
Ims become a lightning footed errand hoy.
So it Is the old Bible, but new applications,
new uses, uow interpretations. You must
remember that during the last 800 years
words have changed iheir meaning, uutl
some of them now mean more and some
less.
I do not think that Johu Calvin believed.
AS sc>«« say Le did, in tbe damnation of in¬
fants, although some of the recent hot dia-
putes would seem to Imply that there Is
such u thing us the damnation of infante.
A muu who believes In the damnation of
Iufunts himself deserves to lose heaven. X
do not think any good man could admit
suoh a possibility. What Christ will do
with all the babies In the next world X con¬
clude from what Ho did with the babies in
Palestine when Ho hugged thorn and kissed
them.
When some of yon grown people go out
of this world, your doubtful destiny will be
an embarrassment to ministers officiating
at your obsequies, who will have to be
cautious so us not. to hurt surviving
friends. But when the darling children go
there are no “lf»” or “bats” or guesses.
Wo must remember that good Johu Cal¬
vin was a logician aud a metaphysician
and by tho proclivities ot bis nature put
some things Iu au unfortunate way. Logic
has Its use, and inelupbysles has its use,
but they arc not good at making creeds.
What a timo we have hud with the
dogmatics, tho apologetics and tho her¬
meneutics! Tho delect in some ot tho
creeds Is that they try to tell 11 s all about
the decrees ot God. Now, the only huinau
being that was ever competent to handle
that buvo subject been competent was Paul, bad and bo ho not would been not iu
spired. I I believe In the sovereignty of God,
aud believe iu man’s free agency, but no
oue can harmonize the two. It is not
necessary that we harmonize them.
Every sermon that 1 have ever heard
that attempted such harmonization was to
mo as clear as a London fog, as clear as
mud. My brother of Hie nineteenth cen¬
tury, my brother of the sixteenth ceutury,
give us Paul’s statement uud leave out
your owu.
ject Better ono chapter of Paul on that sub¬
than all of Calvin’s institutes, able
and honest and mighty as they are. Do
not try to measure either tho throne of God
or the thunderbolts of God with your little
steel pen.
What do >011 know about tho decrees?
You cannot pry open the door of God’s
eternal counsels. You cannot explain the
mysteries of God’s government now, much
less tho mysteries of His government live
hundred quintilllon ye ars ago.
But now that the old creeds have been
put under public scrutiny something radi¬
cal must be done. Some would split them,
some would carve them, some would olon
gate them, some would abbreviate them.
At the present moment iu the present
shape they are a hindrance. Lazarus Is
alive, but hampered with the old grave
clothes. If you want one glorious church,
free and unincumbered, take off the cere¬
ments ot old ecclesiastical vocabulary.
Loose her, and let her go!
Agalu, my text has goo*l advice concern¬
ing any Christian hampered aud bothered
and bound by fear ot his owu dissolution.
To such the book refers when it speaks of
those lifetime who through fear of death were all
their subject to bondage. The
most ot us, even If we have the Christian
hope, are cowards about death.
Backed up by the teachings of your Bible,
just look through tho telescope some bright
night and see how many worlds there are
and reflect that all you have seeu, com¬
pared with tho number of worlds iu exist¬
ence, are less than the fingers of your right
hand as compared with all the Ungers of
the human rac$. How foolish, then, for us
to think that ours is the only world iit ior
us to stay In.
One of our first realizations in getting
out of this world, I think, will be that in
this world wo worn very much pent up and
had cramped apartments and wore kept on
the limits. The most, even of our small
world, is water, and the water says to the
human race, “Don’t come here or you will
drown.” A few thousand feet up the at¬
mosphere is uninhabitable, aud ttie at¬
mosphere says to the human race, “Don’t
como up here or you cannot breathe.” A
few miles down the earth is a furnace of
fire, and the lire says, “Don’t come here or
you will burn.” The caverns of the mount¬
ains are full of poisouous gases, uud the
gases say, “Don’t come here or you will bo
asphyxiated.”
And pneumonias aud pleurisies ana con¬
sumptions and apoplexies go across this
earth iu flocks, in droves, iu cyclones herds, and it
is a world of equinoxes and and
graves. Yet wa are uuder the delusion
that it is tile only place lit to stay in. We
want to stick to the wet plank in midocean
while the great ship, the City of God, and of
the Celestial line, goes sailing past
would gladly tako 113 up !u a lifeboat. My
Christina friends, lot me tear off your de¬
spondencies and frights ubout dissolution.
My Lord commands me regarding you,
saying, “Loose him, aud let him go.”
Heaven is ninety-five per cent, better
than this world, a thousand per cent, bet¬
ter, a million per cent, better. Take the
gladdest, brightest, most jubilant days
you ever had on earth and compress them
all into one hour, and that hour would be
a requiem, a lust day, a gloom, a horror,
as compared with the poorest hour they
have had In heaven since the first tower
was built or its first gates swung or its
first song caroled.
“Oh,” you suy, “that may be true, but I
am so afraid of crossing over from this
world to the next, and I fear the snapping
of tho cord between soul and body.” Well,
all the surgeons anil physicians and sci¬
entists declare that there is no puugat the
parting ot the body nnd soul, aud ull the
restlessness at the closing hour of life is
involuntary and no distress ut all.
“But,” you say, “I fear to go because
the iuture is so lull ot mystery.” Well, I
will tell you liow to treat the mysteries.
The mysteries have ceased bothering me,
for I They do as the judges ull the of your courts often the
do. hoar arguments In
case, and they say, “X will tuke these
papers uud give you my decision next
week.” 80 I have heard all the arguments
in regard to the next world, aud some
things are uncertain aud full of mystery,
and so I fold up tho papers and reserve
until the next world my decision about
them. I atm there study all the mysteries
to batter advantage, for the light will be
better and my faculties stronger, aud I
will ask the Christian philosophers, who
have bad all tbe advantages of heaven for
centuries, to help me, and I may be per¬
mitted myself humbly to ask tiie Lord, and
X think there will be only oue mystery left;
that will be bow one so unworthy as myself
got iuto suoh au enraptured place.
The only part of the journey I made
years ago to Palestine that I really dread¬
ed was the landing at Joppa. That is the
port of entrunoe for the Holy Land, and
there are many rooks, itud iu rough weath¬
er people cannot laud at all. The boats
taking tho people from tho steamer to the
docks must run between reefs that looked
to mo to be about fifty feet apart, and one
mlsstroke of an oarsman or au unexpected and
wave has sometimes been fatal,
hundreds ltave perished along those
reefs. Besides that, as we loft Port
Said the evening before, an old! trav¬
eler said: “The wind is just right to
give you a rough landlug at Joppa; Indeed
I think you will not be able to land at all.”
The fact was that when our Mediterranean
steamer dropped anohor near Joppa and
we put out for shore in the small boat, the
water was us still as though it bad been
sound asleep a hundred years, and we
lauded us easily ns 1 entered tills pulpit.
Well, your fears have pictured for you un
up palling arrival at the end of your voyage
Of life, and they suy that the seas will run
high and that the breakers will swallow
you up, or that If you reach Canaan at alt
it will be a very rough lauding.
The very opposite will be true if you
have the eternal God for your portion.
Your disembarkation for the promised
laud will bo as smooth as was ours at
Palestine. Christ will meet you far out at
sea and pilot you into oomplete snfety, and
you will land with a hosanna on one side
of you aud a halleluiah on the other.
“Land aheadl” Its fruits are waving
O’er the hill of fadeless green
And the Hying waters laving
Shores where heavenly forms are seen.
Rocks and storms I’ll fear no more
When on that eternal shore.
Drop the anchor, furl the sutll
I am safe within the v«Ul
When the eye is in trouble
use a reliable remedy.

HOW TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA.
i Trip Which Costs Money II You Ar'n't a
Good Swimmer.
“Well,” said the man vvlio knew
something about it to the man who
didn't, “if you wnnt to go to South
Africa you have got to have money
or you've got to swim. Swimming is
slow because it is 5,900 miles front
Loudon to Cape Town and 3,000 from
New York to London, or to Southamp¬
ton, from wliieb port the ships sail.
Y’ou can go from the other side by the
German East African L'ne, but that
takes you around to Delagoa Bay on¬
ly. There are several English lines,
but the best are the Union and Castle
lines sailing every Saturday from
Southampton. The fare from here to
London is anything you want to make
it. from $60 up. From London to Cape
Town by Royal Mail boats is $200
first-class, $128 second; $67 third, and
the usual time is seventeen days.
“Iiy intermediate beats first-class
fare is $1S4; second, $117; third, $67,
and the time is twenty-one days. If
you want to camp out you can get an
open berth ticket for $52. The German
line goes through the Mediterranean,
stopping at Lisbon. Naples, Zanzibar
ami other ports. The British and Co¬
lonial boats sail every two weeks from
London, as do the Aberdeen boats, but
these latter go direct to Fort Natal.
Before the war you could get tickets
direct from London to JOkanuesberg
via Natal, but you can’t now. The
fare was $254 first-class, $162 second
, 103 third xvjt h a 10 per cent,
, less rate Dy intermediate boats.
When you have got to Cape Town you
will find railroad travel expensive and
distances about as stretched out as in
the United States.
“For instance, it is 1,014 miles to
Johannesburg, and it costs, first-class,
$57 to get there, or nearly six cents a
mile, double the usual rate in this j
country. Second-class was $39 and
third $21. Time two days. From
Cape Town to Kimberley, which is
now open, the distance Is 647 miles,
and the fare, first class, is, or was be¬
fore the war, $40; second, $27; third,
$13, and the time was a day and a
half. From Cape Town to Bulewayo
it is 1,360 miles and the first-class fare
is $90; second, $60; third, $28, and the
time is four days. That, you see, gives
you plenty of time and opportunity to
spend money for bed and board,
though I don’t believe they have our
kind of cars down there. The
railway time from Durban to Jolian
nesberg was twenty-seven hours, and
to Pretoria twenty-nine hours. Inci¬
dentally I may add that if you want to
do any telegraphing you will find it
somewhat expensive also, the rate
from England to West African points
running from $1.01 a word to $2.64,
while to the east toast it runs from
$1.21 to $1.38. It is a bit cheaper
to South Africa, being 97 cents to
Cape Town, Natal and the South
African Republic and the Orange
Free State, and $1.01 to $1.07 to other
points. Taking It by and large a
man doesn’t want to start to South
Africa with much less than a thou¬

pects to get back home again without
having to work his way.”—New York

MASOJUNE SHOPPERS.
They Show Good Taste, but know Nothin*
About Burjuins.
“The men are beginning to come Into
the shops now to buy material for their
uegllgio shirts, and they are the most
expeditious and entertaining of cus¬
tomers,” said a saleswoman.
“One would think they would stick
to the haberdashers, hut they don’t,
l'or they seem to Imagine, for some rea¬
son, that they may get particularly
daluty cults from us.
“Two young men who came in yes¬
terday to buy some percale, and who
wena about the first of the season to
appear, gave a very fair example of
the methods pursued by the sex in
shopping. In the first place, I might
mention that no matter how much sa
voir faire or ‘cheek’ a man may have
outside, when he gets into a shop he
always shows a shade of embarrass¬
ment, as If he feels that he’s at a dis¬
advantage and out of his element.
“The two masculines in question

the approved fashion, hut uo sooner
had I turned my back than the one
who seemed to he tho leader of the
somewhat forlorn expedition seized the
other by the arm and informed him In
a whisper that ‘when one comes in
here it’s the proper thing to sit down
on these stools,’ whereupon down they
both sat with great promptitude.
“When I had put eight or ten pieces
of shirting on the counter they inform¬
ed me sternly that that was enough,
aifti then, without inquiring the price,
or asking whether they would fade, or
winding them -about their necks to see
whether they were becoming, they just
pointed their index fingers at the pieces
that took their fancy and said: Til take
this, and this,’ paid for the goods with
careless air, as if that were the least
important part of the transaction, and
walked out almost before I knew they
were there.
“I heard one of them say to the other
in the stilled tones hien use in shops,
that by buying tiie goods and taking it
to a shirtmaker in East Baltimore to
be made the garments wouldn’t cost
him more than $1.50, while if he
bought it already made it would cost
at least $4.
“I must must say that they showed
a good deal of taste, too, selecting what
I considered the prettiest of the pat¬
terns I showed them, and they seemed
to have a fair idea of quality, though
they steadfastly refrained from touch
ing the stuffs.”—Baltimore News.
