THE 1 ONLY TRUE RELIGION Fluid mit Whom You Have Wronged and Then Stand Before God, "If 1 liave token anything from aley man by false accusation, 1. re- etore Min fourfold," liverY day we sue how difficult it is 1.0 repair evil J1. is easier to mend a twistee. limb than to repair wrong, when ;Malice and truth have been distorted. it is not only in the case of ordinary possessions and the common honesey thee appertains to nioney and material wealth that repavation is painful. It Is cepecial- let in spiritual possf.sisimis that it is difficult to repair the evil that man .c10e to man. You have . been calumniated, Iles have been circulated about you, at. first In small matters, then whole- sale; nothing is done with poem. ease. Have you noLletel the Impati- ence of publie attention te learn of some scandal and its patience when waiting far the hour of reparation? When a num is executed, condemn, ed, when lie falls within the grasp -of a too rapid justice, whether IL be the justice of individuals or the jus- tice of the State, with what fury his poor honor is torn to pieces. But what trouble he has in finding the difTeeene bits when be wishes to put It together again! Those who make such haste when it. wee quesLion of dishonoring* attd ruining hien are somnolent and slow when it Is a matter of giving hini back his good reputation: Public law is not equitable on this point. The reparation offered to a man for an error made in regard to his person is not equal to the harm done, and does noe take Imo a,ceetint his torments and suffering. That is a rotten spa in the conscience of Men, In private as well as in public life. Look upon this ehief of the mmlicans. ITo vealizes what repara- tion means and he also understands what it is to become converted. Let us take carol There is a cer- tain reparation that is taught Us by the Olci and New Testaments, a re- paration according to which the man wbo has dune evil to man also wrongs God. Nothing is more true. But what conclusion do wo draw froni it? We confess our sins to God,. WO go to Him in peblie or private• cOnfiisSiOni and We acknowledge our- selves to be guilty. That is right, but it IS not enough. To ask Clod's forgiveness after hav- ing illetretteed inen and not, to at ones proceed to rein& the evil wo have done and heal their wounds is mot right -it is taking God for what He is not, This is what He says:- 11you have done evil t oward your neighbor, go mid wipe away his tears, and then come to ask My foe- givenoss." We like to go above the heads of men. That is nit giving honer to Ged-it is rather trampling Ills nest commandment under oer feet. Woe to the religion that hushee the conscience to sleep! Woo to the men Who have $aid to their brothers words that- have wounded their feel- ings like a poisoned dart and who regret it afterward before Clod, but who do not speak of it to man! Odious hyPocrisy I Du pl icity Of the conscience! Uneruth of the soul! THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION, Tho only true religion is, first of all, human. 31 you have trampled upon your fellowman you must, first of all. raise him from the dust; if you have deceived him you muse ask his forgiveness. Then present your- self before the Eternal leallie.r. Other- •Neiste Ho will speak to yott as the old prophet Isiah spoke to the men who broleght sacrifices and filled the tannic: with holocausts: -"To what purpose is the multitude of yout sac- rifice unto me? sailli the Lord. Bring" no more vain oblations, incense is an abomination unto me, And when ye spread forth your hands 1 will hide mine oyes from you, yea, when yo make meny prayers 1 will not hoar -your hends are full of blood. Wash you, make yoe clean." Liston also to Giese words: -"When ye eome to appear before me, who have requiredthis at your hand, to tread my efetirte?" What stern words! For it IS hot the blood of the, innocent victims that Is meant, but the presence of evil men, The sacrificed bullock cannot . solI the temple; tho ono that solle it Is the unclean man, who has entered tho temple wit11 his pride and wickedness; It is the man who enters the teMple ae the great.. lords of the Mid.dlo Ages wore. wont to enter it, on Horseback, with all their parapher- nalia and their train, sometimes a shamefel one. . lely brethren. there is a way of be- ing religious that should verily 1)0' that which is described by the Pro- phet in the chapter I have read to you to -day, "an abomination unto the Eternal Father." Make repara- tion! .Thal is .the beginning of true worship; 'make yoor .accounts, flnd old: Whom. you have wronged, and then come and stand before God, 13y a, deep psychological laW man: is more inelined to forgive the' evil that has been done hth than to re- pair the evil ho has committed.

Yet that is the only true and great reparation. A EWE LESSON, The chief of the publicans gave- nu thou-glit to anything, neither to the wisdom of the world, or whet would be said. Ile determined to climb in- to the sycamore .tteal then to riso still higher in the moral world and to break through the barriers or or- dinary convent:tonality and to do what is not usually done, in his ae- Lion there 15 a great and fine lesson. This, my beethren, is a stern mes- sage 1 wished to bring to you to- day. There am some great difficulties in life tient proceed from the obscurity of our intelligence, problems ;that we cannot solve and against which our poor heads are' battered as against a hard rock. There are mystevies that we cannot; penetrate, although curiosity and the thirst foe enlightenment unceasingly impel our souls toward them, 11(10 )80 cannot prevent them fro111 putting those questione. But there are sim- ple things of everyday life that are under our hand, and yet Nee see un - surmountable difficulties in coping with these simple and clear duties. One would think thee it waS a mat- ter or climbing up to the stars. We cannot be spared that effort; it is to the assault of suc11 practiced and �l((1,081. petty obsfmcles that the Gos- pel leads us, first of ail. This story is great and magnificent, Els Wen as natural and simple. There is nothing. impossible le it, nothing that belongs to a domain tO which any age cannot be initeated. Wo enenot say, We the men of to-claY, thet um. way of thinking refuses to assimilate these facts, Tho luminous and flanthig honesty that devours darkness and dishon- esty, cts flee devours all intnurities, had Sprang forth from that man's heart, becattee it was brought into contact 381111 Christ. When that Pas- serby's gaze fell on him, his eyes that lied taken pleasure in counting out gold, and perhaps even ill -gotta gold, were fillet' with shadows.. They could no leinger bear the idea of en- joying these Helms all atone, and, above all, the thought of retaining anything that MIS not worthy of the infinite goodness of the gaze that rested upon him. As soon. as Christ had shown him the greatness of true life, "salvation came to his house." We are all s.tveyed souls seeking our salvation in certain compromises and wretchedly trivial combinations that might at titnos he compaved to the ruses of animal.% We do not rea- lize that a man's salvation is in tho freedom of his soul. It consists in breaking away from shameful bonds that are utiwortliy of ine; It consists in living 'ender the gave of the Otte Who gives us 'true lief. 'in the prac- tice cif honesty, justice and goodness. My brethren, 1 wish you to take this away with you in your hearts, not aft a platonic impression, Mit Alp a virulent leaven that will work into your deepest feelings and will end by making you a new creature. Amen. --iCharles Wagner, BEER CONSUAIPTCON. Tho statiseics of boor consumption, which are available for only seven eountries, show a total consumptiou of 5,001 million gallons mint:tally.

Moro than thirty years ago the name of Tippoo Tib first reached the eats oe Europe through the famous explorer Livingstone. It was in the early months 01 118367 that Ielvingstone, while travelling in the Tanganyika Lake region, first made the acquaintance of tho great slave raider, who rendered_ 111111 con- siderable assistaeco. leventually, however, tho cruelties of the Arab followees forced the famous mission- ary.to part company from him. When Stanley started on his quest of Enfin Pasha in 1887, 110 met Tip. poo Trb at Zauelbar, and had a con- ference with him. The Arab thief agreed to furnish 600 poetors for the transport of thn ivory collected by Enda in the Equatorial stations for the .Egyptian Government. This even had a tragic sequel.
