SUNDAY MORNING.
A SERMON FOR SUNDAY
AN ELOQ'JENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED
“LIVE IN THE SUNSHINE.”
The Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapinnn Says
Faith Produces Men, and Tlielr Living
in the World is Contending For the
Faith—Keeping in the Love or God.
New York City.—The following ser-
Inon, entitled “Live in (be .Sunshine,” has
been furnished for publication by the dis
tinguished and _ eloquent evangelist, the
™ e '" Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman. It was
preached from the text “Keep yourselves
in the love of Clod.” Jude 21.
Jude’s is -ne af the hriefest of all the
letters in the New Testament, containing
only twenty-five verses. It is, perhaps, the
. V le epistles. Though the date is not
definitely settled, it was probably written
after the destruction of JernsAn. when
lno3t of the apostles had fin Wed their
) vork l . J here is a most delightful spirit of
humility m the letter. The writer called
himself a servant, end the bondsman of
Jesus Christ and the brother of James, and
that ?s a beautiful modesty, for, in fact,
it is generally believed that he was the
Lord s own brother and the son of Joseph
and Alary.
To no particular church or people was
the letter written, hut the accounts make
it especially applicable to us. It is very
practical. The heart of Jude was stirred
because certain men were denying God
and the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, be
cause of this, ‘‘l exhort you that you
should contend earnestly for the faith once
delivered to the saints, * That expression
in the Greek., however, reads for the faith
delivered “once and for all” to the saints,
bo the doctrine is the same to-day as in
the days of .Tude and before then.' Read
ing on to the twentieth and twentv-fifth
verses' they indicate that we are expected
to contend as did the early disciples.
It has always seemed to me that faith
produced men, and their living in the
worid wn3 a contending for the faith. We
have the pattern of the life of the apos
tolic Christian given to 11s. If you study
ihe Acts of the Apostle, the letters of Paul,
Peter, John, and. better still, the wonder
ful prayer of Christ in Hie seventeenth
chapter of John, you will see that there
were Three great elements in I heir char
acter. They were in the world, but not of
it; they were constantly looking for (he
coming of Christ, and they were filled
with missionary fire and zeal.’ These throe
characteristics must predominate now if
the church is to have power. When one
is in the world and not of it he realizes
he is a pilgrim and a stranger here, and he
endures trials and temptations because he
knows that, they are but for a little while.
The second characteristic has just ns great
an influence. The disciples were constant
ly expicting the return of our Lord; they
remembered the testimony of the men who
had heard the angels on the slopes of Oli
vet, and again and again they opened their
ryes, expecting to behold Him face to face.
It was this hope in their hearts which in
spired their lives, transfigured the cross
at H >ts shame and kept them pure in the
midst of all temptation and sin.
The third characteristic is equally im
portant. Ilow much we need to long for
the salvation of others! Nothing so
touches the hidden springs of the Christian
heart as to feel in some measure that lie is
responsible for those about him. Rome one
has said, when God would draw out nil the
fathomless love of a woman's heart, He
lays a helpless babe upon her bosom, and
it is tiue that the church will nwake to
power when she awakes to resoonsibility.
Thera is something which I have in mind
which will give us all the things I have
sooken about. It is described in the text.
If there could be any subject growing out
of the text to describe it. 1 should say that
it wouid he ‘‘Live in the sunshine.” I
know wlmt the sunshine does for the
clouds; it gives them a silver lining. I
know what it does for the grass and the
trees and the flowers; it warms and nour
ishes imti! tliev blossom into' beauty and
fruitfulness. Take the plant away from
the light and it will droop and die; place
it where the sun will kiss it and every leaf
rejoices. This is the very poorest illustra
tion as to what the love of God will do for
ns, so let us keep ourselves in the love of
God.
T- .That word “keep” is the key word of
Jude s epistle. In it we arc told that God
will keep us. but we arc also told to keep
ourselves. We are told to persevere, but
it i* also said we will be preserved. This
is God and man working together, and it is
singular, to sav the least, that the word
preserve” and the word “persevere” -ire
composed of exactly the same letters. The
bteral rendering of Ihe expression that
God will keen us is “as in a garrison.” How
secure, then, we must he!
HOW MAY WK KFKP OURPFLVES IN
THE LOVE OF GOD?
1. No wav S3 rflicienf as by prayer.
There are different kinds of prayer .larob
prnypd when he met the angel of Jabbok.
end had hia name changed from Jacob tc
Israel. Moses prayed when he plead with
jrou to look with favor again upon Hi?
chosen people. . Christ prayed in the gar
den, for it ia said: "Being in an agony. He
prayed more, earnestly/' But this is not
ths kind of prayer I have in mind; it is
rather the kind that Christ offered when
rle was alone on the mountain with Cod.
I imagine the talked with ITim
than He with the Father. It is the
Vmd that. David describes when he says:
.Mv meditation of Him shall be sweet."
Faith is the eye with which we can see
Uod. and meditation the wing with which
fly to Him. It is the kind of prayer
offered when the suppliant feels that he is
the only one in all the universe; it is the
kind of prayer which if our mother could
hear, or the dearest friend we had on
earth, we should feel that it bad been di
verted and had not readied God. it is the
kind of prayer we offer when we let God,
talk to us as well ns talk to Him. This will
keep us in the love or God.
2. Few things will so help ns this old
book, the Bible. Two gentlemen were rid
ing together, and when they were about
to separate one asked the other, "Do you
ever read your Bible?” “yes," said Ids
friend; “I do, but I receive no benefit be
cause X feel that I do not love God.”
“Neither did I,” replied the other, “but
God loved me,” and that answer fairly
lifted the man into the skies, for it gave
him anew thought. The question is not
at all “as to how much I love God, hut
l ather as, to how much God loves me.

THE LOVE OF GOD.
111, Would that we might understand
the meaning of the expression “the love of
God It is hinted at in this world. Pass
ing along the streets one hears the words
of a song or catches the strains of a piece
of music being played, and he says, ‘’that
is from Beethoven or Alozart. I reco-nne
the movement.” So in this life ve catch
strains of the love of Gocl. We lohoM it
in the mother's disinterested, self-deriving
love; we see it in the lover’s urlow. and in
Ihe little child’s innocent affection, but
these things are only hints. The Bible
sdyes ’is the best revelation. Beprinnins
with Genesis the scroll is constantly un

and kings each tell their story. S>o. liitfr

eousnesa arose at the advent that there
came the morning light which gives us the
thought, not of the administration of God.

The purest, sweetest, tenderest thin*

~yet the love of the mother is but a drop

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Which is more than liberty.

in the evening hours they would place
him in the west window, where he could

The leather's IJanl.
Nor is the sense of safety all that is
awakened in the memorv of a father’s
hand. It tells also of guidance and com
panionship. Not only in stormy evenings
was the large bend reached down to clasp
the little on?. But memory is filled with
pleasant, outlines and beauties of the coun
try, always guided by the father’s hand.
The band of father came to mean so much,
both of pleasure and comfort, that the
phrase is never seen or used but a sacred
tenderness steals into the heart. All this
and much more the Heavenly Father is to 1
His children. We reserve our thoughts of
the Father too frequently jo the da vs of
stress and grief, and forget it is the Father
who gives the joys and pleasures, too. We
think so much of the pitying Father, and
imagine falsely that His carp is confined
to circumstances that call for pitv. Tlis
hand is a bountiful hand, filled with pleas
ures. “The wav is dark; my Father takes
my hand,” ip often upon our lips, but just
as trnc and far more frequently the path
has many flowers, all planted by one hand,
life has many gifts all planted by on? hand,
the days are crowded with jovs all show
ered from one hand. And this hand is
"my Father's hand.”—Episcopal Recorder.
Lack of Homo Feeling.
"More of the evil in the world than we
often think for can be traced hack to the
lack of home feeling in childhood days,”
says the Watchman, of Boston. “Where
that does not exist, the young man or
woman loses the invaluable consciousness
solidarity of the family. They come
! fee} that they stand only for tbem
fjJlveH, that, they need not consult the in
prest of others, and they miss that happy
Restraint of affection for those with whom
rQod united them in the closest of ties. In
spite of all that is said abbut the misdoings
of the children of devout parents, we be
lieve that it will be found almost univer
sally, true that the children of happy Chris-1*
tian homes turn out well. They have tl
special guard in their hearts against -the
seductions of evil. They do not sin against
the home, and the memory of their own
happy households weaves an ideal of the
homes they desire to build, which keeps
them brave and pure and human.”
When Prayer Is Needed,
It is well to let our spirit of prayer find
expression according to God’s grace and
our needs. It is said that “when a Breton
sailor puls to sea his prayer is, ‘Keep me,
my God; my boat is go small, and the
ocean is so wide.’ ” We need God’s loving
care at all times, and no place or degree of
danger is beyond the limit of His ability
or readiness to give protection.—Sunday-
School Times.
Keep Up Spiritual Tone.
Cease to live in the atmosphere of your
sin, by which I mean that you must see to
it that your mind is occupied by thoughts
as far removed as possible from those in
which your temptation can take root. It is
a great "mistake to loiter around a sin to
which one’s nature is prone. Your moral
strength will depend upon your spiritual
(tone.—R. J. Campbell.

THE OKAPI,
1 Newly Discovered Animal of Central
Africa.
Every reader of St. Nicholas has
doubtless visited “zoos” many times
and become well acquainted with the
different animals he has seen there.
Some of them are very beautiful and
some of them very uupleasing in their
appearance; but I am quite sure none
of them has ever seen such a queer
looking creature as the okapi, lie is,
in fact, a newly discovered animal, ana
not a variety of any known species,
so you can well see Ills importance and
the interest that his discovery has
aroused—particularly in the scientific
world. Animal species have been de
veloped from a few forms, and we can
find many of the links that connect
them; blit here aud there are gaps, and
it is often difficult to find the links
that complete the chain. The okapi
fills one of these gaps. He stands be
tween the giraffe and antelope, and
partakes of the character of each.
He is found in the forests of Central
Africa, and bears a strong resemblance
to a fossil beast whose skeleton, though
larger, is of about the same propor
tions, and undoubtedly that of an an
cestor.
The olcapi stands about five feet
at the shoulder. The body, which ns
covered with thick, close hair, is a
brilliant brown, blit looks very blue in
the light. The color of the head, which
is a cream-yellow, commences abrupt
ly at the neck, where the body color
ends. The muzzle is like that of the
giraffe, tapering, and the lips are used
for cropping leaves, which ihe molar
teeth grind. There are three projec
tions on the skull, covered'with flesh
and hair like those of the giraffe. The
legs and hind quarters are striped, and
on this account many people have
made the mistake of calling him a
zebra, to which animal he does not
bear the slightest resemblance. His
hoof Is cloven, like the giraffe’s and
antelope’s, and enables him to speed
over marshy ground without sinking.
Now, the zebra would have a single
toe (or a solid hoof), which Is one of the
distinguishing characteristics of the
horse family. The mistake arose from
the fact that Stanley, in his “Darkest
Africa,” spoke of horses inhabiting the
forests of the Uganda districts, relying
on the statements of the natives. Sir
Harry Johnston, however, when In
Africa, determined to investigate the
matter. Knowing It contrary to the
nature of a horse to live in forests, he
was anxious to see just What this
creature might be, his Interest being
furthermore excited by seeing orna
ments and waist-aprons worn by tbe
natives made from this queer-looking
skin. Upon inquiry, ho found llie
okapi to be a common animal In these
parts. They were said to go In pairs,
though probably they also roam in
herds. The moat affords excellent cat
ling to the tribes In tills district, who
are principally little dwarfs who sub
sist for the most part on the animals
they hunt. These dwarfs are warlike
in disposition, rather shy, and exceed
ingly averse to having strangers visit
their country; and as they are quite a
powerful people when banded together,
they will probably--prove a great ob
stacle to our becoming better acquaint
ed with this new nnlmnl. They catch
the okapi by digging holes In the
ground, over which they loosely strew
leaves and branches, making pitfalls
into which the unwary animal easily
strays. They gave the okapi his name,
but in pronouncing it they leave out
the k and in its stead make a clicking
sound peculiar to tlielr language.
We hope some living specimens of
the okapi will be brought to our coun
try lu time, and that we may see them
in our zoos, and can form for ourselves
some opinion of this new creature.—A
H. Knight, in St. Nicholas.
Bis; Ears of Corn.
The Kansas City Star opened its col
umns recently to a discussion concern
ing the size of the big ears of cofh
raised in Kansas and Missouri last
summer. There was hardly a farmer
in either State that did not have a
story to tell. Ears of corn with 1100
and 1200 grains in them seem to have
been matters of common occurrence.
•Others went as high as 1400 and 1500.
Ed Johnson ,of Kackley, Kan., for ex
ample, went into one of his fields one
day and picked at random four ears,
which averaged 1222 grains each. A
German, of Hartford, Kan., found an
ear which was only twelve Indies long,
but had twenty-six rows of grains,
making 1408 all told. L. V. Monnot, of
Oklahoma, reported an ear of corn
twelve inches in length and eleven
In circumference. But nil these are
beaten by one ear which was raised
by C. H. Cleveland, of Tulsa, I. TANARUS., in
1001. This enr bad thirty rows of
grains around it and fifty-six gruins
lengthwise. The total number of
grains on the cob was 1080. This 1s a
record still to be beaten.
One-Sided Buildings.
“A good many people find fault with
some of the new buildings we are put
ting up, on the ground that they are
one-sided,” said one of the superintend
ents employed by a large construction
company. “By this It Is meant that
they appear architecturally Incomplete.
Main entrances are placed at appar
ently inconvenient corners, and largo
windows and prominent decorations
that rightfully belong in certain sec
tions, to Insure a harmonious whole,
are now sadly out of place. This lack
of uniformity is due to the fact that
many buildings In course of construc
tion are not being put up In their en
tirety. In may cases it has been found
impracticable to break the lease for
houses on adjoining property which
_was meant to be Incorporated Into the
"area of the new building, consequently
the work progresses in sections. When
the leases expire and the rest of the
ground is available, these buildings
will present a homogeneous front.”—

WOMEN AS AUCTIONEERS.
"Speaking of occupations for wo
men,” said the energetic young person
who expends all of her executive abil
ity on the management of one refrac
tory maid and most of her physical
strength in dusting her parlor furni
ture. "Why don’t women become auc
tioneers? Now, there’s a profession
that many of them were certainly
made for! I think I, for example,
would make a very good auctioneer,
and I’m sure I’d look as captivating
as the fat and baldheaded autocrats
who mount the rostrum at most auc
tion sales. And then think what a
commanding position one would have,
perched up there, the world at one’s
feet, queen of all one surveyed.
“With a dainty little silver mounted
hammer in hand, with what delight we
should be able to knock down ‘bar
gains’ to our intimate friends, Inveigle
our enemies into the purchase of worth
less ‘lots,’ or defraud them out of the
possession of coveted articles by over
looking their ‘bid’ or giving it to a
hated rival! Indeed, we ought to be
first rate auctioneers. As we are so
often ‘sold’ ourselves, we should have
an inkling as to how to ‘sell’ others.
“Women, as a rule, are so fond of
bargains that I feel sure they would
shine In disposing of them. Besides,
they have such a flow of language,
such a mastery over detail, such ready
wit, and such marvellous intuition,
that, as a matter of fact, they are born
auctioneers, and it is only through
the envy, hatred, malice and unchar
itableness of the opposite sex that the
dignity of occupying the rostrum has
been, so far, denied them.
“Of course. It would have its disad
vantages. It would be hard, for in
stance, to say—‘Going, going—gone!’
as we saw some charming and artistic
bibelot on which we had set our own
heart disappear into the dull and un
appreciative maw of a wretched Goth,
Vandal, Philistine, or parvenue,, but
the mysteries of ‘reserve prices’ and
prices ‘not reaching the reserve’ would
be an open book to us; we should be
able to do battle with the machinations
of ’the ring;’ and, moreover, we could
reflect that the world is full of treas
ures —all ’bargains’—more or less.”—

A Match-striking Dog.
A Manayunk man found the other
day a number of burnt matches scat
tered on the floor of his parlor. No
one In the house had thrown them
there. The whole matter was a mys
tery.
Two days later the same thing oc
curred again, this time In the kitchen.
Over fifty charred match-sticks lay
upon the carpet, and nobody knew
anything about them. It looked as
thought a lunatic had been at work.
The following afternoon the man
was taking a nap In his study, while
his fox-terrier played about the room.
A sharp report awakened him, and,
looking up, he saw the dog striking a
match with his nails. With one paw
It held a match-stick firmly on the
floor, and It scratched the brimstone
head with the nails of the other foot.
The little flame and explosion that fol
lowed seemed to fill the dog with de
light. It went Immediately to the
table, and brushing off a dozen of
the matches that lay there, It was
about to renew Its tiny fireworks dis
play when the man shouted —
“Get out of there! Do you want to
set the house on firo?”
Since then the dog has been kept
out of doors.—Philadelphia News.

'■l>eafne, Cannot Bo Cured
by local applications as they cannot roach the
diseased portion o( the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tubo is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can bo taken out and this tube re
stored to Us normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ton
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surface.
We will give Ono Hundred Dollarsfor any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot bo cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Cir

In a recent letter froih IOOC F Street, N. W., Mr. Johnson says:
‘’No ono should longer suffer from catarrh when Peruna Is aeoessible.
To ray knowledge It has caused relief to no many of my friends and ac

Catarrh Kolsnna,
Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and inflame
every part they come in contact with. Ap
plications to the places affected by catarrh
can do little good save to soothe or quiet
