TILK BUHL1 Aid' :.7, i una. 11 ?ermoti ,By Rev. Frnk Dc Witt Tlmmje, 15. D. H Lob Angeles, Cal., Feb. '.'M. In his uTiiion In Hip familiar llgurc of a hits 'liidman tlie preacher shows us how o licence the richest harvests by using nr opportunities for rcMiderlni: loyal ' .twice to (iod and our fellow men. The est Is Hagpil, I. fi, IS: "Consider your vnys, Vo have sown much and bring n little." A short time npo I had n most Inter .sung conversation wiiu un viuoric.m missionary who had spent many years j in China, lie was toll ug mo afoul tho . marvelous chances which have been Initiated in China since the Boxer up r'slntr of 1000. I had asked li Lin to tell "0 BomethliiK nbout the .tapanoee peril! nd what would bo the condition of he cast if the mikado succeeded in ininlnatlet,' the whole Asiatic conti nent. Much to my surprise he answered "Japan will never dominate the east. Hpan wll never dominate U.lna. 'i I 1,'reat peril of the east is not to bo round in Japan, but in China. The oldest civilization on earth was in China. All the civilization Japan has ever received has rome from China. Tho dominance of the east will come not from military but from commer cial power, and tho jirenle.st merchants of a 1 the oust are the f'h: enmcn. They ran buy and sell all rouid the Japa nese. They have the keenest mercan tile brains of the eastern hemisphere. Furthermore, they have mllltarj ren ins, hord Wolselny as well as General firant tcst;t!t"l that when he is rightly (ruined and handled the Chinaman ' stand by him and stand bv the inntitu makes the greatest soldier that ever Hon he represents If put to a pirn h. lived. He is a man absolute.- without,. ounce of loyalty K worth a pound nerves. Ho can e.lt upon the dainty of cleverness, if you niuv.' vilify, con diet of a handful of rioe. And he is a I demn and eternally dispara-e. resign man who knows no fear. your position and when you are out- "Chlna has been dead for 'J.OOO years. , IUit the giant of (he east is now wak ing up. China has never been govern ed by a ."-et of practical men, but only by a fret of scholars, or of what is ca'led the literary class. For instance, fMir years ago in my pvvlnro 10,000 (students came up for examination upon the teachings and the legends of an cient China. From among those schol ars would be selected the future rulers of China. But now all that is done away. Two years ago by an edict from tho throne the Chinese literary students were wiped from tho face of the earth. When that little handful of foreigners marched irom the seacoast up to Peking, the Chinese court was compelled to acknowledge that west-j crn civilization was a more potent civ-1 lllzatiou than theirs. Now China is be ing reorganized upon Uie Hues of our western civilization. Her armies are te-lug disciplined by German olllcers. Her students are being educated along technical lines. Her mines and re fources are being developed. Her opium curse in ten years will no com p'etely wiped out by governmental power. And within thirty years a nfcw I hlmi will arie which will not only dominate the eat, but will be a mighty factor in dominating the world. And If we are going to Christianize China we mil; t do it within the next thirty years, for after that It will bo to late." In Thirty Years. This was the testimony of u Chris Han missionary who knows China well. Now, if it is true, as 1 believe It Is, it indicates that tho Chinese gov ernment has statesmanlike sagacity. They found that their method of edu cation did not produce good results 3id not produce the results they ex I -ctcd from it, so they have changed It. That is a v.-Ko course. Thinking over it, I wonder whether we, as a Christian community, ought not to do the same thing. Our methods are not producing the effects wo expected. Where is tho fault? What is the cause of Hie poor spiritual harvest? So this morning I want you to Join with mo In following tho prophet's advice, l.ct us "consider our ways." .!, i luuiK iue lauu ii not unu i you are unwilling to work for Christ. I You are like the people of my text, who as husbandmen havo scattered I the i.ccd far and wide. Hut at the time , of harvest you have only gathered In a few miserable grains of wheat, all withered tip nnd almost useless. Now,1 ire you willing to Jet me dhU;nose H" j spiritual fallings of your life? And I rememner inai wnen i am pi'eaciiinK ; ojrainst your spiritual faults I am dlaj.'- j uos ug in, uhii spiiuiiai MioricoimnKs ,s w''"- Our scanty spiritual harvests, in tho Drst phice, are due to our lack of loy- Dlty to God. We are not as a class d'. voted heart nnd mind and soul to his , , , , ,, , , K'rviee. Mo only give lo him a bike-i ivarm nllej;lance. Indeed, most of us Hid I speak, (he words calmly and de liberately do not know what the word "loyally" means In any department of life. Wo do not l;now the full slgnlli nnco of allying; ourselves to man or restitution. And wc aro Just as luke warm to our spiritual king. Tho Spirit of Loyalty. I go down to Hid store aud find a cleric behind tho counter. Now, by every law of common sense that clerk should be devoted to his master's in terests. ITe should do all he Is able to le'p lil; employer In every way. If lie ,s asked about his employer's charac !er, he should say In his favor all that bo can truthfully. lie should speak ivell of him. He should publish his Rood qualities and the good finalities f the store. Ho should speak well of tils employer's family anil of tho kltid liesse wnieh that employer Is contlnu ally showing to the slcU nnd the trou bled In the city. Ho should tell how his employer Is one of the dlrectore cl the Young Men's Christian assoclatl-ir. nnd how his word is as nood s hit bond. Hut that Is not what tho aver K0 clerk does. Instead of slnRlng tin pralseH of the store ho Is talklnn every where about his employer's fiuiltij ana weaknesses. And, though I may be nmk hit; ii very broad statement, 1 firm Iy belleVo that I can enter any large store in this city and hear iiour1) fiumblliif,' and fault finding and mis nptX'SOllta Hon bv tho iderka to iliimff i Vi. i . i . in , does not know what loyalty to IiIm .

What Is true of tho mercantile wo 1 Is also true of a largo perecntfi,v , the heneflclarles of charitable liuit: tlous. One of the loveliest ladles i over knew was left a widow. W. rnre llnnnclnl ncumeu rhe doubled n' quadrupled her husband's estate. Th with nearly $300,000 nhe erected c , endowed an "old folks' home." Tic in the most beautiful climate of t' world upon a site which Is unsurpas, In beauty In all southern Cnllforii she tins reared this Institution ns memorial to her husband. I stipp'.' there would be 10,000 applicant;) to c ter that Institution this yean If the r strletlons did not bar all but Inhab ants of California from entering.

A Good Notice. I think the best notice I ever r.av huiiR upon the walls of a business o tabllshment had written on It them words. Tho more 1 have read thev over the more their honesty and fai reaching slKnlfio.moe have appealed 1 me. Listen and ponder well: "If ym: work for a man, in heaven's mm work for him! If he pays you waives that supply you lrend nnd butler, work for him, .poiil; well of him side denounce to your Heart's content But as long as you are part of the In stitution do not condemn It. if you do, you r.re loosening (he tendrils that hold you to that institution, and the first high wind that comes along you will bo uprooted and blown tnvay In the blizzard's track, and probably you will never know why." Woman, have you ever thought of that when ae a servant girl yon are talking against your mistress? Stenographer, have you ov' thought of that when you are talking against your employer? Clerl have you ever thought of that when you are talking against your employer? Beneficiary, have you ever thought of that when you are talking against your benefactor? Are you loyal to the men who feed you and put clothes on your back and give you a home in j which to live? If you are, you are the I exception, for the great masses of peo j pie cast mud at the windows of tho I homes In which live (he men and (ho ! women who support them and who I should be esteemed their best friends. In the Spiritual Life. YT'int is true of the temporal life is emphatically true of tho spiritual. Do you know why you have so small a spiritual harvest? In the 11 est place, some of you talk against your minister who is trying to build up your church. Then you talk alvout some of the peo ple who are in the church. You com plain about your superintendent in about the in sideut of your Ladles' Aid or Missionary society. Then you find i fault with the church people because! they do not call upon you more, flion you grumble against Cud because lit does not let you live in a belter home. ! Then you get angry because your bus band was not elected an elder. Then you find fault with the choir. Then you will begin to sulk because your little girl was not asked to lead Hie procession nt the children's day r-crv ice. Then in high glre you go around spreading the scandal of some douvs. tic fireside and call the members of that marital catastrophe "hypocrites" because they persist in comlnu to church in spite of their mural deiln-. rpiencles. And It I, disparagement hor, and lault find uu: (here ami denrec a- tion farther on. .My brotiior, do you tnmv ,Vhat is (lie matter with you ; you do not know tho irt principle.-! of loyalty to God and lo. ally lo his Sun (1;iy ,,chll0, anrt ,oyaMy lo l0 ,,,.. , old of faith.

Hut after death, when the Prussians lifted the dead body to carry It away for burial, they found concealed under the dead man's clothes tho standard of his regiment. Yes, the dead hero did everything to protect the flag of his country from being desecrated by the hands of his ineinio!,, So may wo do everything to protect our standards of the cross from tho contempt of the world. May we ho live that the men nnd the women of the outside world will say the church of God Is tho dear est nnd best and tho most loving place to live this sido of heaven.

Tho Wrong Seod. avu km nut nUatalM la u ml. i n i ...i vi t.- i tun use liie I kind of seed. We do nut use. tho llual seed Hint will bring forth tho ite.st harvest. 1 tun not asserting I iiomo uf us do not uso good seed, f we do not use tho ouo great sued !ch will always insure us tho great returns for our spiritual sowing, t mo llliudrute my thought by com 'iiplaco comparisons. 'Vhen I wa n resident of Chicago, 1 tiled two or three summers among Michigan hills. While there I be .no quite Intliuato with n gentleman u owned an enormous pencil or ard. Ono day ho told me the history his life: "I Inherited this land from father. l''or yearn ho was the rgest producer of wheat In this re in. Hut after I grew up to be a .'li I commenced to lie u diligent Htiv nt of the rcportt! of the agricultural prtrtment nt Washington. The inoro studied tho science of agrlculturo nd tho formation of this soil the moro came to the conclusion that I could indruple tho value of my laud If 1 ould cease plnntlng whe.it and turn .iy acres Into peach orchards. All tho ill settlers around hero laughed at me. , hoy said my l'nthcr knew more in ai minutes than I knew in ten years, .'hoy said I would ruin myself llnan l.illy. Hut I went ahead. I believed hose agricultural reports from Wash listen, nnd though It took mo many .ears to develop a good orchard, yet tho result 1 am today making each ear live times the nmount of money ay father made off the same land." The wheat crop was all right In Its ay, but that mans lather did not p'ant the seed that brought the masl - iiiim return from his farm. I ne son i Vd, and that Is the whole story In a nutshell. Now. I am not hero to state that .-our life Is n useless life. You are not ! i liar or a thief nr a drunkard or a libertine. Perhaps you give away hundreds of dollars annually to help Hie poor anil the sick. But 1 ask you i.i consider whether you plant the best ceil :o obtain the spiritual harvests. Christian work means more 1 linn sim ply giving bread to the hungry, clothes t.) tho miked and medicine to Hie sick. Christian work omphatHilly means Hie seed planting of Jesus Christ In the hearts of your fellow men. If you will only bring tho divine personality of Christ in touch with your fellow men, ho will lift men up out of their sins and make men like unto himself. Oh, friend, from now let the chief pur pixo of your life be to get the greatest spiritual harvest by seeking chiefly to plant the spirit of Jesus Christ In tho hearts of your fellow men! "Consider your ways. Ye have sown much, but bring In little." Will you not ponder well upon his promise? He tells us what he can do if we only plant him aright. "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me." Barrenness of Soil. But I am not more Impressed with the poorness of the seed which we go forth to plant in our spiritual Holds than I am with the rockiness and bar renness of tho soil in which wo are dropping this seed. I care not how good the seed may lie. if tho soli is barren there is no use in planting any seed there. For instance, the soil lin ing Hie banks of the river Nile is tho richest in tho world. On It you can crow two or three crops of wheat each year. But if you turn your luck upon the river Nile and travel live, ten miles over the Sahara sands you can have the land for nothing, for it is a bar ren land. The water will run through it as through a sieve. Besides thai, no water can be drawn so far away from the Nile to Irrigate the desert, even though the sands would hold the wa- 'er- soil for th,! rnnuer is worth just proportion to what It can produce, no inoro and no les. A lew year- ago 1 was traveling over the liakot.i prai ries, and I stopped with the owner or a large wheat ranch. Tho man's farm extended for miles and miles away. If that farmer had been dependent upon the old fashion.! ways of scattering 1 the seed wmi his nami and reaping with the sickle, he could not have I placed under cultl.-atlou onu-tenth or I his farm. I asked him: "How can you lertlllze sucli an Immense area of ajjn- cultural laud? The winter niows oonie on so soon after harvest I should W ym would not have the time." J he man laughed. " by, ' sain he, fertilize such an immense area of agri cultural laud? Tin; winter 'mows come on so soon after harvest I should ih'nl: you would not have the time." The man laughed. "Why," said he, "we never fertilize tho Dakota wheal- "we never lernii.e tno Dakota wiieal- , ilelds. ThN is practically virgin soil." Then he led me to :i deep hole ho was . dlsnlnc. It wan rich, blacl; soil, able to vrwlux. nnythlnw. "Whenever we feel," said he, "that we are eshaustins the laud of its stivuKth. all that wo i.ive to do Is to dilve In the plo- a little deeper. That roll U Just like that , in rlcluiejs si.ity feet down." Nov.-you iiave some Idea of the necessity of hav- . nK rlcU soil to prodm e a crop'. A soil i, (,uly valuable in proportion as P Is j productive No sane farmer would trv . turn an' Arabian de 'err l-.itu a farni. i Tho s..ui dun.. K ..l.enr. m.veiv hHcnusn ,t is unproductive.

The more a man and a woman are social outcasts the moro they need to be brought to Christ's feet anil thu more they can be spiritually benefited. These offer the deepest soils for spiritual harvests. Are you planting Hut gokpol seed where it will take the deepest root and will brlug forth the greatest golden headed sheaves, or are we living simply upon the spiritual fiiriu lands already culti vated by other Christian planters and reapers? How aro we to plant Christ In the sinful hearts of our fellow men?
