SUNDAY MORNING. THANKSGIVING SERMON DR. CHAPMAN UTTERS A MESSAGE APPROPRIATE TO THE DAY. A Timely Discourse Kntltlert “Three Meet. Ills'* of the Saviour”—Render Thanks > God Tor the Greatest of Gifts. His Soil, Jesus Christ. New Youk City. —The Rev. Dr. J. Wil bur Chapman, who has recently resigned the pastorate of the Fourth Presbyterian Church in this city in order to devote him self to evangelistic work, has prepared the following Thanksgiving sermon for the press. It is entitled "Three Meetings of the Saviour,” and ns founded on the text, “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray.’* Psalm 55: 17. It is quite the custom on Thanksgiving Day to render thanks and praise unto God for material gifts and material prosperity. We are accustomed to measure the har vests and to try to count out earthly bless ings, and then make an effort to put into language some adequate expression of our appreciation of God’s goodness. I leave tins task to other ministers, while I in their name and behalf express mv grateful thanks to God for the greatest o£ all gifts, namely, His Son, Jesus Christ, and it is my hope that I may present Him in such a way in this message that all may see that it is their privilege to come in closest fel lowship with Him. With this thought in mind I use the text, “Evening, and at morning, and at noon, will I pray.” The Psalmist determines to pray frequently, at least three times he will be on his knees: he determines to pray fervently, for he will cry aloud unto God. The text docs not run as we would like it to, for we always reverse the order and say at morning, at noon, and at evening, but the Hebrews be gan the day with tne evening and closed it with noon. W.e always begin it with the morning, and one day we shall reach a morning which shall never end. The Psalmist means that he will pray more than three times. He is simply saying that he will begin and continue and end the day with God. He takes the natural di vision of the day and at each Doint he de termines to set up an altar. Mr. Spurgeon says he lays a line straight through the day and tracks the sun with his petitions. It used < to be said in olden times that we should pray ihree times at least, at even ing. because Christ waa on the cross, in the morning because He rose from the dead, and at noon because then Ho ascend ed. If our bodies need nourishing three times, why not our souls? We have fre quent Old Testament illustrations of this habit, notably Daniel. “Now* when Daniel knew that the writing was signed he went into his house, gnd, hia windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day and praved. and gave thanks before his God a9 he did aforetime.” Daniel 6: 10. We have the early members of the church iu the New Xeautyiqnt presenting us an ci au.ple. Kud if wS sTiidv the Acts of the Apostles we find the disciples many times in prayer, but always morning, noon and night. For Jesus to be with us is one thing, and we are all the time in His thought; He has promised never to leave us and never to forsake us, but for us to be with Him in our contemplation is quite another thing, and it is that we may len.rn this lesson that I speak the words of the text. The result of this fellowship will be cause for thanksgiving. These three times are suggested because the morning is the time of feasting, the noon is the time of questioning or resting, while the evening is the time for the settling of accounts, and T have changed the order of the text, for the reason that we are living in the new dispensation. ' I. The morning. “But when the morning was come.” John 21: 4. John’s gospel might properly have closed with the 20th chapter. The 31st verse of that chapter is most significant and gives the object and aim of the gospel. “But these .are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. and that believing ye might have life through His name.” But John adds this 21st chapter because he gives us another beautiful picture of the Lord, and records the only miracle worked after the resurrection. May this not be typical and did we but live in touch with our Lord might it not be possible in these days to have filled nets and a multitude about us of the saved. The disciples had returned to their homes in Galilee after the events men tioned in the previous chapter. They were probably in the house of Zehedee. * They were doubtless talking of the past. They might have called to mind their first meet ing with the Saviour and dwelt lovingly on the glory of His life. They might have spoken m whispers of the disappointment of His death, and then with shining faces have recalled the account of His resurrec tion and His personal appearing to them. Doubtless Peter was of the company once again. They are back ainid the familiar scenes of their old life; the boats are lying on the beach, the fishermen are mending their nets and these seven, five of whom are named and two unnamed, doubtless stand together. There is a boat pushing out from the shore, and the women are wishing their husbands and bovs good speed, while the men answer with words of cheer. Fishing is always fascinating, and so I can imagine Peter with flashing eye and twitching nerves and. quick beat ing heart looking about the busy scene un til he can stand it no longer, and then be says, “I go a-fishing.” Instantly they are all ready to go and they push off from the shore. It is a mast beautiful sea in itself, and as their oars flashed in the light of the setting sun as they are away to the old scenes of other days, the vision is fas cinating. But it really was a perilous po sition, for though the sea is always treach erous, the boat might lfave been old, and here are these representative leaders of the cause of Christ. What if they had been lost in the night? The same question might be asked concerning Moses when a child in trie ark. What if one of the waves of the Nile should submerge the little ark or the crocodile should crunch it? But such questions are idle and useless. Moses is not safer to-day than then, and bo these early disciples were safe, because their hope was centred upon One whose eyes are ever upon His own by night. They toiled and took nothing. Every old de vice was used to charm the fish, but every time the net was drawn up they knew by the tug of it that they had failed. As the light is breaking they are about 100 yards from the shore. They hear a voice saying, “Lada, have ye any meat?” and they an swer “No.” “Cast the net on the right side,” says the stranger, and 153 fisri was the result of obedience. The disciples shout, “It is the Lord,” and Peter, jump ing into the waves swims ashore, and m obedience to the command of the Master, “Come and dine.” they ail sit with Him about the fire and ate. May I suggest sev eral daily lessons for the morning hour? First, Jeeos stood upon the shore and they knew not that it was Jetua. He is al ways nearer than we think, and He has been waiting every morning since that day to begin the dav with Hi 6 * own diseinles. You must begin everv day with Him. therefore, if you would have a day of peace. “I have a Friend so precious, So very dear to me. He loves* me with such tender love, He loves so faithfully, I could not live apart from Him, I love to feel Him nigh; And so we dwell together, My Lord and I.” There is such a thine as being too busy to see Jesus. “Be stiff, and know that I am God.” is the message for many of us, while that line in the 23d Psalm, “He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He Jeadetb, me beside the still waters,” must never be forgotten. We must be quiet first, active afterward* Second, lie is the secret of power always. [ Contrast verses 3 and 0. The first one | says “that night they caught nothing." i Ihe second one says, “now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of • fishes.” They had the same nets and the i same fishermen and the same sea and the 1 same difficulties to contend with. Jesus made the difference by adding His own j power. How many times we have toiled. I How often we have grown weary. How i many days we have failed all because the j effort was in our own strength. Never h< ! gin a day until you strike step with Him ’ and clasp His band in yours; then nothin- i can overthrow you. Third, as scon as they were come to land they saw a fire of coals. This is the 9th verse. There is only one other place where this expression is used, and that is in the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of John, the place of Peter’s denial. The first thing that Peter saw was doubtless this fire of coals after his vision of the Saviour. How the story of his denial must have flashed across his mind. It is better for us not to begin a day until we have asked Christ to 'show us where we failed yesterday. He will do it. not with n fire of coals always, but with the touch of His finger. For a Christian to fail at the same place two days in succession, is an awful sin. Fourth, Just as He made a feast for those disciples in the early morning so lie makes a feast for us every morning of our lives. He spreads the table with His own purity. How that will help u in the pres ence of all that is impure. He displays His own gentleness. How that will strengthen us in the time when we are lia blc to be irritable. He sets before us His own love. How that will enable us to love the things that we might naturally hate, and in our presence He makes display of His own power. How that will encour age us in the hour of temptation. I like the close of the 21st chapter of John, the 25th verse. “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the winch, if they should be written every one. I sup pose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should he written. Amen.” Doubtless many miracles were wrought beside the miracle of the chancing of water into wine and other parables sweeter than the Prodigal Son and the Lost Sheep He spoke and we never heard of them. There is many a morning when we shall talk of these things with Him. If you turn to Genesis, the first chapter, you will notice that the first six days of creation have both an evening and a morn ing. while the seventh day lias a morning but no evening. It is typical of that day which shall be ushered in by the resur rection morning when we shall have eter nity with Christ and go out from His pres ence no more forever, and we shall talk of these things. 11. ‘ Noon. “Jesus, therefore, being wearied with His journey sat thus on the well, and it was about the sixth hour.” John 4: 6. It is high noon. The husbandman rests from his labors; the cattle seek the shadow of the rocks; the birds have stopped their song. Rven Jesus Himself is weary. He has left Jerusalem because He has been surrounded by the wrong kind of a crowd, and under the impulse of the Spirit He ipust needs go through Samaria. The disciples are away and He aits alone upon the well curb. Beyond all question the story of the giving of Jacob’* well is in His miud. and as lie look? out toward Ebal and Gcrizim He has thp vision of the crowds listening to the blessing and cursing of the servant of God, when sud; 1 denly as He looks there com os a woman on the scene bearing upon her head a water pitcher. The people of the East know good water, and for this reason she lias often dipped her water pitcher, not in tlie^ running streams, but comes to Jacob’s well, where the water is most, refreshing. It is not night, as when Nicodemus came, but the sun has reached the meridian. 1 always have thought that this was a beau tiful picture of our meeting with the Sa viour for the purpose of solving our diffi culties. Who of us has not had them? From 8 to 12 o’clock in the morning, when we have have I mot this temptation anWlnd that, trial, and been face to face with this problem?” “A little talk with Jesus, • How it smooths the rugged road; How it seems to help me onward. When I faint beneath my load: When my heart is crushed with sorrow, And my eyes with tears are dim. There is naught, can yield me comfort.. Like a little talk with Him.” Will you note the following points: Jesus said, “’Give Me to drink.” He always speaks first. Genesis 3: 9, “And the Lord God called upon Adam, and said unto him. W here art thou?” (fives us a picture of God. and all through the Old Testa ment and New His word is sooken first to the sinner and to the wandering one. Whatever may he your own desire for blessing His is urealei* than yours. We always think of Him giving to us. indeed, His was a life of giving, but is it not won derful that we may give to Him? The woman gave the annointment and Jesus said, “Wherever the gospel is preached this shall be told as a memorial.” Paul writes to Titus, “Adorn the doctrine of •he gospel to-day.” and he sends his mes sage to the Corinthians, “We are unto God a sweet savour of Christ.” by which he means that we will remind Cod of Christ. First, never let, a noon pass that you do not make Him an offer. Best of all, offer Him yourself. Second, “If thou knewest the gift of God thou v'ouldest have asked.” I f is because we do not know the Saviour that vc have failed to ask of Him; according to the measure of our knowledge we will have asked, and He is pledged to give us living water in contract to what the world of fers. Do not let a noon hour pass that you do not tell Him every annoyance of the mornine*. Nothing is too trifling for Him. and He will give to you just, that b’-essing which will ever stay the weakness of your life. “I tell Him all my sorrows, I tell Him all my joys, I tell Him all that pleases me, I tell Him what annoys; He tells me what I ought to do, Cir.e what to try; •walk together, and I.” leeo drink of living water ydlra well of living water :ies are often due to incon sistencies. “The path of the just is as a shining light that shineth more and more.” This is a picture of the way we should walk. “He that doeth the will of God shall know.” This is Christ’s chal lenge to those who are in difficulty. And as He sat thus on the well curb He said to the woman, “Go call thy husband.” as much as to say “How about your own life,” and He puts this sharp, cutting question te her. which opens up the secret of all her past life and brings her face to lace with ner sin, for she has no husband. She was a sinner of the deepest dye. Just remem ber when you stop at the noon hour to meet with Jesus that sin must lie uncov ered. “He that covereth his sin shall not prosper.” It must be confessed. “Who soever confesses his sin God will receive him,” and it must be foraaken, for “who soever forsaketh his transgression shall find mercy.” Then there is victory, and the story of this woman running back to her city to tel! all the city of the marvel ous works fjt Jesus will be a picture of your own life and mine. 111, Evening. “The® the same day at even ing—came Jesus and stood in the midst of them.” John 20: 19. What a wonderful day that was, for this evening mentioned is the evening of the day which began v.ith the resurrection of Jesus. This is the first meeting of the disciples -after they had heard the story, and the doc#r shut for fear of the Jews. It is not neces sary that I should describe the trfpty tomb nor the shining face of Mary as she told of her meeting with Him, nor yet again to ; peak oi Christ's special meeting with Deter, to meet him in spite of his de nial. but only that ye should see this won derful Saviour like the Jesus of olden times, and tint only while He oats and drinks with them, yet He can pass through the door while the door is yet shut. Note first, tint it was at the evening. This is thy time for the squaring oi ac counts. No man ought to close Tiis eyes in sleep until he lias gone over every hour of the day, made note of every inconsist ency, and presented it all to the great High Priest, who make iuiemvs >ion for u. Note second that the door was shut. Alas, there arc many things that have closed the door oi : oar hearts, ud the difference between the heart's | door and the door of this room G this, that I•• t sus came into that, room of His own | will. He wiil not tome into mir lives : gainst our wills. There are certain things that .close the door of the heart. First, in consistency. Lei no man think that he pan be an inconsistent t hnstian and walk in fellowship with Christ. Second, selfish: ess. Lo: r.o one imagine ’hat lie can pm self on the throne J:ml have'Christ rule in ili.s being. 1 -bird, an imtiirgivqig spirit. “Tender hearted,'forgiving one another even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you,” .is the spirit that should control us.* Throw open the door this evening hour and let the light of the Son of God come in. and He will say to you Peace,” and in the verv saving of it there is rest. Fourth, He showed them llis hands and His side. That gives a hint as to His atonement and what He means, for our Sa\ iour sav es us not only from the pen alty of silt but from the power >f sin. from the penalty when He died up. a the’cross, irom Ihe pmver as He sits to-day on God’s right hand with ban and side and outstretch ing hands. Let the evening hour be the time when you meet Him. Mr Meyer gives an illustration of the mother who goes about the loom at night gathering up the playthings of her children, putting away their hooks and clothing and saying, ‘T always straighten up the room at night after they are asleep, aud this is what Jesus does for us. He straightens up the affairs of the day if we will but let Him. Fifth. “As the Father has sent Me even so send 1 you.” IMs is what Jesus *:aid to the disciple*. Me must realize that we have a divine commission to work, and we must also realize lhat we have a divine promise of strength. 1 like the illustration used by the llev. I. B. Mover of tin. old artist who toiled away during the day upon his model ami finished it at night, as he supposed, but there were the marks of imperfection, because his hand had lost its cunning, but when be lias gone from his work his son. a real artist, takes awnv the marks of old age and makes the model as it should he, and the old artist comes in the morning to look at it and say. “Why.'l can work as* well as ever 1 did/’ and this is but a picture of what Christ will do it we will but vjeld ourselves to H;w, Sixth. “And He breathed upon them." He will come as near to us as that, and as the breath of God made Adam a filing soul and His breathing upon thp disciples, sent them forth to conquer, so His breath ing upon us will change our lives if we will but breathe in of what He breathes out, and we shall have power in propor tion as we do it. For all that will come to us as the result of a three fold expe rience 1 am ipo-t devoutly thankful. Spear Points. Purpose is whut gives life a meaning. Circumstances may change, but God never does. The breadth of Christianity depends on its depth. God puts consolation only where He has first, put pain. Early athletics will not suffice for the heavenly race. In tins life there is but one sure happi ness—to live for others. Expect God to help you when you have prayed for His assistance. True greatness is ability to serve coupled with a meek and quiet* spirit. When the Lord is in our hearts His hand will be seen in our works. Never take your eye off the cross, as all the lines of salvation centre there. Poverty of possessions need not be dis creditable; poverty of life always is. A thousand times better f.re the men who do than the weaklings who only know. i’lie loving judgments oi friends are harder to bear than the harsh ones of foes. All God’s providences are but His touches of the strings of the great instru ment of the world. When you step up on one promise you will always find a higher and a better one before you. The self-centred life comes to nought; the Christ-centred life ever continues in enlargement. There are some lessons which can only be learned in the garden, and beneath the shadow of the cross.'--The Ram’s Horn. sittincr fiini. To the best comes the time when their very good is evil spoken of. U takes good ness to understand goodness. The pure in heart see God, and only such can recognize the life of God when manifested in the saints. Few trials are more keen than the misrepresentation of goodness. An evil motive imputed to a saintly deed is as the .-ting of a serpent. The cloud* of defama tion lower at some time over every saintly heart. The life of the saint is hidden and cannot be understood by the worldling. “Sitting still” is the only possibility. Time exerts a remedial influence, and such rem edy that it cannot exert the One to whom the saints are dead will. He will bring out our goodness as the light and our right eousness as the noonday.—Episcopal Re corder. Work 31 alien Men. Work it; given to men not only, nor <o much, perhaps, because the world needs it. Men make work, but work makes men. An office is not a place for making money, it is a place for making men. A workshop is not a place for making machinery, for fitting engines and tunning cylinders; it is a place for making souls; for fitting in the virtues to one’s life; for turning out hon est, modest, whole-nature and men. For Providence cares less for winning causes than that men, whether losing or winning, should be great and true; cares nothing that reforms should drag their cause from year to year bewildcringlv, but that men and nations, in carrying them out, should find there, education, discipline, unselfish ness and growth in grace. —Henry Drum mond. The Way to the Cross. None of us can tell for what God is edu cating us. We fret and murmur at the narrow sound and daily task of ordinary life, not realizing that it is only thus that Afc can be prepared for the high and holy office which awaits us. We must descend before we can ascend. We must take the way of tire cross submissively and patient ly if we would tread the way of light. We must endure the polishing if we would he shafts in the quiver of Em manual. God’s will comes to thee and me in daily circum stances. in little things usually as in great; meet them bravely; be at your best al ways, though the occasion he one of the very least; dignify the smallest summons by the greatness of your response.—F.

This got to he such a nuisance that l was constrained to interview him with a switch whin ever anew (old) can appeared on the premises. Hue day l noticed him coming home with something in his mouth, as usual, ilte lips were skinned up and he wore a most disgusted expression of coun tenance. all caused by the fumes of a nearly new and recently smoked briar wood pipe, which he had "swiped” somewhere. Then he brought home a muskrat, a big mud turtle whose legs were sprawling around as turtle’s legs will, children's dolls, big rubber balls— in fact, everything portable that came to his notice. One day last spring I saw him com ing across Hie snow bringing some thing that looked peculiar, which proved to he a large fur cape. It seems that a neighbor in calling at a nearby house had taken off her cape and left it in the baby carriage on the piazza.* Dash happened along and took a fancy to it. Last Sunday afternoon while on my piazza lazily dreaming the time away there came to my vision a woman trundling a rosy-elieekod baby. “The Ghost" (for so we call Dash for short, as lie 's almost all while) was dancing around the outfit, first looking at the woman, then at ihe baby in the car Gage. The thought flitted through my mind that the old lady had better watch out o:* she would lose the baby. An 1 wire enough, In about five minutes, back came Dash toting the baby in his mouth. He had her balanced just right, carryiug her by the loose folds of her dress, and without hurting her a hit. He was proud as a peacock, head and tail up and stepping high.

Forest and Stream. flias* Houses of Indians. Aipoiig tho most interesting features <r Southern Oklahoma, says the (Til ‘“igo Chronicle, are the remains of the JB’ass houses formerly built by the Wieliiln Indians, who to a certain ex tent keep up their novel mode of archi tect lire* to the present day. The grass is gathered early in the spring, when it i yel fresh. I’he sod cutting usually lakes place immediately after a rain, tin- sod being removed io the thickness of about eight inches. Buffalo grass sod is Ihe only kind that will answer the purpose* of the builder. He com mcnees to lay the foundation as does tin* stone mason, digging away the earth to a depth of about a foot. The grass portion of # the hunks of sod is laid to the outside and the house' is built to a height of twelve to fifteen feet in the form of a pointed dome. There is no hole !n the top for smoke to pass out. the latter being carried away through a pipe outside of the hut The door is usually in the south and there are no windows. Through each tuft of sod is run a willow reed siring, and these strings are bound clear around ihe structure. The grass remains green and will grow if there Is plenty of rain. It is not at all un common to are the sides of these grass houses turn green as spring approaches, just as do the pastures near them. The houses are very warm in winter and cool in summer. They never leak. Tunnel Jumping in Chicago Navicutlon. Chicago tugnicn view mournfully the passing of one of their favorite diver sions through removal of the top of tli * old cofferdam of the Washington street, tunnel. For years “tunnel jumping” has been a feature of river towing. In “jumping” the Washing ton street tunnel tugs, with a free river before them, have shot over the tunnel, dragging a 400-foot vessel with 130.000 bushels of grain or 4000 tons of coal behind them. To get over the cofferdam the big ships have been forced fifteen or eighteen inches out of water, their keels resting on the dam while the propellers* and tugs forced them across and into deep water. Sev enteen feet below the surface two divers worked all day to cut away the timbers of the cofferdam. The Itow of the river was stopped for a time while they worked.—Chicago Tribune. The Kiilmoml Estate, Very few people are aware, says the Dundee News, that when Queen Vic toria purchased the Balmoral estate she was not the first of her race who owned it. The earliest appearance of Boueliinorale, as it was originally called, on record shows it to have been the property of James XI. of Scotland, which was when Master Richard dc Forbes, a Canon of Aberdeen, delivered his accounts on 31th July, 3453. For over a hundred years Balmoral be longed to members of the royal family, and came again to the sovereign fifty years ago by purchase from the Duke of Fife's father. It comprises about 11,000 acres, extends from the Dee to the summit of Loch n a gar. Balmoral is a compound Gaelic word, signifying the house by the big cliff or rock. A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child’s disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit, to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she t' f not be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can not do better than to take Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themsolves become quiet.
