BRIGHTER DAYS
FOR ERIN’S ISLE
By l’rlvato Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 24.—Timothy M.
Henly, member of. parliament from
Ireland, who ha* Just arrived here,
speaking of an era of hope and pros
perity for Ireland, said:
"The old mud cabin of yore Is grad
ually being done away with and the
sanitary condltotn throughout the Is
land has enormously Improved.”
Continuing, he said: "Since the old
grand Juries, the so-called old quarter
sessions bench has been done away
with and county councils established
In their stead. These popularly elected
bodies have started buildings for labor
ers, giving them a good water supply,
suppressing bad fever conditions, look
ing attar th* roads and In other re
spects adding greatly to the Improve
ment of the people's condlton.
'•Of course local taxes hove Increas
ed, but In view of the betterment of the
lot of the people this Is not demurred
to ns much as might be expected.
''Officialism, too, has been checked
to a great extent and the people have
gotten a larger measure of power into
their own hands. They are now In
clined mors to look on the bright aide
of things.
"The Qeallc League has revived old
Irish dances, songs, music and sports
and the prlestn, too, have largely
thrown themselves Into this side of
life.
Borne have taken great advantage
the new agricultural dtpartment
founded by the Tory party under Sir
Horace Plunkett.”

Golden Text. If any Man will come
unto Me, let him deny himself, take up
his cross and follow Me. MATT. 16:24.
The Incident In this lesson occurred
near the close of Christ's ministry on
earth, while on His way to Jerusalem.
He had been preaching In a house, and
and while there mothers had brought
their children that He might bless
them.
As He went forth Into the way, a
young man came running to-Tllm, and
falling at Hla feet, asked Him, "What
shall I do that I may Inherit eternal
life?" This young man was In earnest,
as was Indicated In the manner of hla
coming running; he was reverent, as
was manifested by his addressing Hint
as "Good Master," and his supllant
posture; he was a moral young man,
having kept all. the commandments that
relate to our duties to our fellow-men;
he was courageous, for he was rich and
a ruler, and not many of his class and
position became the followers of the
lowly Nasarene. He did not home like
Nlcodemus, under the cover of the
night, but In the day time, nnd on the
public highway.
We have every reason to believe that
he was sincere, by the Important query
on his lips. Ho was amiable, possessed
of such a disposition and character that
a* the Savior looked on him He loved
him.
Laqked One Thing.
And Yet, with all these good trails,
the Lord tells him there was one thing
he lacked—that he must sell all he
had and give to the poort come unto
Him and be Hla follower.
Was not that a severe teat? Put your
self In the young man's plnce. How
would you feel to be called on to give
away all the earnings of a lifetime, or
.part with an ancestral estate, leave a
pirns,in' home, the society of dear
frlendv reputation, rank and riches,
and follow the fortunes of a man who
was ostracised by the recognised best
society, nnd so poor that He had no
lace where He might lay His head?
ow r.inny of us could stand such a
test as that? What object could Christ
hnv i In laying such n heavy burden on
the back of this youth? What, but his
real good?
It wns not to break his back, but his
pride; not :o repel, but attract him: not
to quench the flaming flax, but to fan It
Into a flame; to convince him he wns not
what ho seemed to others or himself:
but as far ns genuine faith and piety
were concerned, there was one thing he
lacked.
The lacl- of one thing may spoil
everything else. A watch without a
mainspring Is worthless ns a chronom
eter. A sun-dial without Its gnomen,
as It Is called, Time's iron finger that
throws Its shndow on the circling hours
Is of as much use In the dnrkest night
In the brightest sunshine. A shin
may he built of the strongest oak, with
masts of the stoutest pine, manned by
the beet officer* nnd crew, amply sup
plied with lifeboats, but you would not
risk your life on her to cross the ocean,
If she lacked ono thing—the mariner’s
compass.
So it Is with true piety and living
faith. One thing wanting, the greatest
works, tht costliest sacrifices, and the
most moral life, arc of no value In the
sight of God.
It may be the lowest piety, but ono
degree above sero; It may be the love
of smoking finx: the hope of a bruised
ri-ert. the faith of a mustard seed: but
if Inwrought by the spirit of God It
changes the character of man, and hla
prospect for eternity. It Is the digit
that prefixed to the ciphers give them
their valuo and without which they
represent nothing. It Is the signature
to tht check or note, without which
they are worthless.
We May Ba Amiable Without Being
Religious.
Snvlng grace may be found where
there la sad want of natural graces. Aa
somt one has said, "Grace can live
where we could not."
But on the other hand, these natural
griv-ts, aa they arc called, have adorned
many tvhn were strangers to the grace
of God. We often mistake one for the
other. Wo may be possessed of much
that Is admirable and beautiful wlth-
ou. anything holy.
Turning hi* back on Christ, refusing
His personal Invitation, to become His
follower, going away sorrowful, this
young man warns ua that the sweetest,
kindest, gentlest, may lack the one
thing needful. However lovely and
loving and loved you may be, and de
serve to be, except you are born again
you can not see the kingdom of God.
A Men May Liva a Moral Lift With
out Religion.
A man can not be a Christian without
living a life of moral correctness, hut
he may lie a moral man without being
u Christian.
This young man, a child of fortune,
reared i>erhaps with pious care, an
honorable station to sustain, kind pa
rents to win his affections, It Is ensy
to account for his observance of the
law. Bkh, what temptation had he to
steal? B'essed with an umiable tom-
r which he may have Inherited, he
A Man May Be Interested in Salvation
and Not Be Saved.
In some way this man had been
awakened, had been made to feel that
with all hts possessions there was one
thing he lacked; with all he had done,
there was something for him to do to
secure eternal life; he repairs to the
fountain head, seeking It In Christ, yet
a stranger to the grace of God. The
curtain falls on him with his face
turned to'the world and hla back on
Christ. He gave more apparent evi
dence of being saved than many who
repair to the Lord's tnble, and bear an
excellent character In the church. Look
at hla earnestness. He did not wait
for a more convenient season, ho came
running to Christ. Look at hla humili
ty. A noble by birth, a ruler by office,
a man of his position and great wealth,
he kneels at the feet of One who was
born In a stable, and never had an
earthly home, and who was burled In a
borrowed sepulcher. Though possessed
with everything the world could afford,
more than enough to supply all hi a
wants, he felt a void within that th*
world could never fill, .
No wonder that the disciples, when
they saw such a man .turn hla back on
Christ, and heard our Lord say it was
easier (or a camel to pass through a
needle's eye than a rich man to enter
the kingdom or heaven, were astonished
and asked: "who then can be saved?"
Not a Universal Test.
We must not understand that all
come to Christ and would be His fol
lowers must sell all their goods and
give to the poor. Christ looked Into
this young man’s heart and saw what
was the great obstacle In his way, the
one thing that was holding him back.
His words were a warning not against
acquiring riches, but trusting In riches.
Money Is not the root of all evil, but
the love of money. There Is nothing
wrong In making money, If made hon
estly and legitimately. It Is a good
thing If kept In Its place. Its place
should be In our open hands nnd not
our hearts. It Is a good, servant, but a
bail master.
Borne of the beat Christian men are
rich, men who realise their relation to
God as stewards, and also their obliga
tion to their fellow-men, but It Is hard
for a man whose sole aim In life Is to
acquire riches to live a Christian life.
The heart Is weaned away from things
spiritual und wedded to material
things. Then thbre are all the tempta
tions that are concomitant with wealth.
There Is no warning In the Bible that
needs to be held up and heeded more
In this age of commercialism than the
one In this lesson.
This la a busy, bustling, hurrying,
hustling age In which we live.
The world seems a vast arena, filled
with runners In the race for riches.
They are so Intent In finding gold In
the sordid soil of earth they can not
look up to see the crown sparkling
with gems of redemption.
How men work and worry under the
spur and whip of this monster passion,
turning a (leaf ear to every holy and
humane appeal for help, practicing all
the tricks of trade, often denying them
selves the comforts of life, that they
may pile up riches they do not enjoy
while living, and must part with them
