Two Kinds of Devotion Described
by Rev. Charles Wagner
"And we beseech theo, brethren, to
know theta which labor 01100104 you,
'In evers thing give thanks; for
this is tho will of Cod in Christ
.10004 Conterning you," -1. TheSSOr
Ionians, v„ 13 on 1H.
Remember the gospel according to
it. Matthew, xxv,, 117-1(5.
My !minima, it is not 01y intention
to quote this text from the stand -
valid of the spiritual work that is
done by pastore or all those whew
inieslon In fife IL Is to spread religi-
ous losiths throtighout the world. I
wish to interpret theso wordslxt
their broadest some, going beyond
the limits of a doll:lite career or oc-
munition end applying them to tire
whole of the work that is done in
our midst, that is to saY, to the
whole of the soein I help that is ren-
dered us by our fellow men,
"We beseech them., brethren, to
know them which labor among you
. . . . And to esteem them very high-
ly in love for their work's sake."
Wo will snook more especially of
the most humble, tho most ordinary
offices -those upon which 111 11011
rarely bestowed' what we call eon-
derati on .
There are, my beetliren, two ways
of beiug religious. One consists in
having a Senarate category for re-
ligious things, for the world of holy
thoughts and feeling, and to possess,
on the other band, a province for
the things of this world, common-
place tasks and everyday business,
With this method a great and fer-
vent piety min be developed in the
moments that aro more particularly
devoted to religious duties. At those
times we enter, as it wore. a sanctu-
ary, and in this sanctuary we find
the ordinary surroundings of religi-
ous devotion -holy words are spoken.,
pictures attract the eye, well known
tunes tall upon our ears. Wo are en-
veloped in a sort of edifying atmos-
phere, conducive to comforting and
elevated thoughts, and of which too
much good cannot be said.
SUDDEN CHANGE COMES.
But aftczward, what happens? The
sanctuary is left as iL was entered; it
is closed behind us; Rs pictures be-
come shadowy, its voices din away,
and slowly along Lhe well trodden
roads we go forward lido the every-
day world, to the things of every
day, to cuvrent events.
While in the eanctuary we have re-
freshed our hearts, we have raised
our hands toward Hedyen in earnest,
and holy prayer. As soon as we get
outside (romentoer that I an speak-
ing of life method that classifies the
religious worrci as a thing apart) we
1111-n up our sleeves to begin the usual
struggle with our fellow men.
It is no longer the titno for senti-
ment. It is the time for self-intet.-
est, for calculation, foe what we call
Ilia buidnese of thls world, to which
wo must bring the wisdom of this
world. For eseh thing its own Lime;
for each thing ite own spirit. To
transact everyday Init.:Mese we mein
Ineee en everyday mind, somewhat an
earthly ono -to treat religious pla-
ters we clothe mirselees religious
livery. In tho sanctuary we are an-
other creature, but this creature and
his livery are now cainfully put
away.
That 1,11111 of religion is not that
of Jesus, Whatever good points it
may have, it is not the :Vaster's re-
ligion. The Master has taught Ue
another kind; imt a religion that
11fully anti ingeniously separates re-
ligious matters from temporal mat-
ters, but 0, religion that mingles the
spiritual with the temporal, as the
leaven Is mixed with the dough%
I do not hesitate to say that the
other wanner of understanding relig-
ion seems to tofu to be pure 'dilettan-
tism. It is a luxury that is some-
times pleasant, very appealing to
aesthetic souls; but it is 0, docciving
luxury,
In a word, its beauty is entirely
superficial. It allows man to be at
one and the same time imbued with
the most sanctimonious feelings and
the woest kind of seltisliness; to ar-
rengo his &fairs In such a way that
his practical life is no move mixed
up with his religious feelings than
Water mingles with oil, This manner
or Practising religion constitutes, in
the midst of existence, a scission be-
tween the real foundation of a 1111111
and what he proclaims as his faith,
his belief; a scission between his life
and Ins them les,
Religion is liot a theory -religion is
not a temporary retreat, wherein we
uan pleasantly indulge he feelings that
bring us a kind of gladness, a cot. -
lain peculiar happiness, but wh•ich,
nevertheletiti, remain entirely portion-
al, exclusive, absolutely selfish, of a
selfieliness that is all the rnore refln-
ed because it ie. mistaken for Manful

True religion, therefore, is Et train-
ing to help US In finding the spiritual
life and the Spirit itself In the
things of every clay.
Now ire come to the applications
drawn front our text, particularly as
regards the manifestation of grateful
piety.
When something pleasant happens
to us, when some service is rendered
us, and when, in consequence, there
is reason to feel and to show con-
sideration or iteknowledgment, re-
spect and gratitude, tho best, way of
showing it is not to make elemonStrae
thins that apety to some one very
far removed from us.
Let us rattles give to those feelings
O diredtinterpretation, sweeties' and
strong as well as sincere, in the
events or every clay. For this we
only need to follow the path that
God Himself has traced out for us,
Tt will be easy for mo to prove to
you that I ton not setting forth nny
daring novelty, but that trying
humbly to follow in the traces of the
letetennl Father imprinted on the
Salida of our mortal shores.
I'ARENT8 THE INTERMEDIARY.
Generally wlien some good comes
to us we saY, and with reason, "tho
source of • all goofl is God." But
this source communicates with u14 by
inteemediary channels.

mother gives us and the very lire

drea certainly proceed rem thc eter-
nal source of all life. But God Him-
self has willed that we should have
Parents to transmit life to US from
generation to gererat ion. Co nse-
cmently it is through Ilia will that
our father and mothee appear i10 our
eyes as the transmitters of tho spark
of life.
if, therefore, we go to Clod directly
to thank Pim for having allowed us
to take a part in life, in that thing
which is semetimes so sorrovitul and
so sombre, but which none the 10018
is marvellous, mos1 high and most
precious; if wo thank God directly,
forgetting or despising our parents,
because they nee only creatures and
frail instruments of His will; if wo

gins, the Czar was entertaining asi

and affected as he must have been by
the intelligence, the Czar fulfilled hie
role as host -more grave then before,
but calm and dignified. When his
guest left, his host expressed to him
his regret at an occurrence Which
had overclouded the festivity. The,
Czar is not the man to rage without
consideration for his dignity. Rus-

The Czar's grandfather -Nicholas -
had a temper, some part of which
xxiay have descended to the present
occupant of his throne. Nicholas was
reputed the handsomest anan in Eur-
ope, and was often spoken of as
"The Emperor with the mild eyes,"
from their peculiar softness and
beauty. I3ut the 'mild eyes' often
flashed terribly over the ill news
that was brought him during the
Crimean war. At the report of the
defeat of his troops at the Battle of
Alma, Nicholas raged so that all
Europe heard of it. Menschikole, the
Russian leader, despatch an unfortun-

what had happened. l'he officer WaS
