One of the most 'comprehensive
movements ever attempted in the re^
llgions world by any denomination has
been planned by the Evangelistic com
mittee of the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the Uflited
States, of which John H. Converse of
Philadelphia is the chairman, and
which is made up of representative
ministers of the denomination in all'
parts: of the country. The Rev. Dr.
J. Wilbur Chapman, secretary of the
committee, aided by the Rev. Parley
'K. Zartmann, assistant secretary and
treasurer of the committee,%ave form
ulated a plan by which a simultane
ous campaign will be carried on for
at least two weeks, beginning Febru
ary 25, In all the churches of the
Presbyterian faith, In the 'United
States.
THIS
The campaign alluded to is planned
on a broad basis. It is arranged that
the pastors may do their own preach
ing or they may call to their assist
ance the brethren of' their own or
other denominations possessed of the'
evangelistic gift, or they may' secure
the services of trained evangelists if
such workers are available.
There have been sent out from the
headquarters of the committee in the
Presbyterian building, 166 fifth av
enue, New York City, a letter, over
the signature of the' chairman of the
committee, to every Presbyterian min
ister in the country, detailing the plan
and purpose of the simultaneous cam
paign, which is intended to have a
wide Influence.
The prlmaiy purpose of the cam
paign is to arouse and quicken the
life of the members of the churches,
with the understanding that when thls
has Deen accomplished it will at once
be comparatively easy to persuade
those not connected with the church
to make a public profession of faith.
Emphasis is laid upon the idea that
all persons are free to'join the church
of their choice^ without regard to de
nomination so long as thechurcb is
of the evangelical order.

Is at Hand—Rev. J. K. Burleson
•'Preaches an Inspiring Sermon on
Nvthe Sanctity of the Season—How
and Why the Season is Observed.
Si- St Matt. V., 17-48. -f
This is the first of the three Sun
days before Lent. As the New Testh
ment lessons for this and the two fol
lowing Sundays, the Ctttfrch gives us
the words of the Sermon on the
Mount She does tills .because In that
discourse, we have given to us the.
$ great foundation truths of God's King
dom, and' the grtat duties of man to
ward his neighbor and toward hlm-
Self. In these: pre-Lenten days we
3 are, or should be, trying to shape our
thoughts and lives, in the mold which
will be ino8tchelpful for us in the days
which are to come, so the wtjnstdera
tion of thepe great compass-like teach
itps of '-Christ will be most helpful to
point us on our way. Let us then try
to use this help by taking today that
lesson which owe have" just read and
a study its words as t^ey come before us
thought by thought (Take Bibles.)
The sermon begins with those won
derful axioms of .the Kingdom which
we call the Beatitudes. Each one" of
these state a great fact in relation
to God's Kingdom, ao, it ip manifest
that we cannot treat them adequately
itt any such consideration as is pro
posed this morning. I hope that we
may be able to oonttlder them at length
I during Lent For the pr0bnt let us
begin with what follow* these axioms
and their oorrelarleB, at the 17th
verse.
First Out* Lord tells what relation
His present teaching bears to the for
mer oracles t»t God. "I am not come
•j to destroy the Law, butto falfl}i."' So
•rm
St
ift
km
He declares in orde* that men may
understand that jthb teaching is no*
new beginning, but only the fuller un
foldlng Of these truths which Qod his
before kept hidden. He filled the old
Law full of a new meaning, 'a new
life, sq.that since it had reached the,
limit* of development under the
revelation flven W, the Jews, it ttow
received* new fulltfr development,
and revealed, the fulln^^ingand use
of its powers in the Kingdom ofjeaus
Christ Thnssthe preservation of the
law to to new fulness is the keynote/
of the Sermon on t^ie Mount, By keep
ing (n mlnd that ^thls what Oirist
is doing hen we, are able io uwler

in the Church of Christ But also:
with this, and 1q order that we may
be guarded from the opposite mis
take, He warns us that the law must
he regarded ahd kept not after the
m&nner: of the 8crlbe and Pharisees,
who sought by its means to exalt
themselves, but rather in the way
which it taught, by forgetting self and
thinking only of God/
Our Lord then takes up some of
the commandments in" detail. There
is the. old law of the commandments
against, murder but it must now be
completed, fulfilled, by the new law
against Indulgence in anger. It is not
only toe taking of life which needs
to be puni8hed.r If you are angry with
your brother without cause you' are
in danger of Judgment If your anger
is great enough to break out into
words of derision, you are lit, danger
Of the council.'' But if you are so car
ried away by wrath that you hurl at
your brother words of reviling, you
are worthy of death, and to have your
body cast out with the refuse into the
valley 6f Hinnom, to be consumed
with all else which defiles So He
speaks. So malignant a sin does He
make the giving way to anger. And
if you are honest with yourself your
own conscience will convince.you that
His words are no more than true.
We are next shown how enmity with
qian separates us from God. Christ
says that if, you ohme to offer your
gift at God's altar while your brother
is. still suffering from injustice at
your hands, that fact will rise up as
a wall, shutting out you, your prayer,
and your offering from the presence of
Him who loves both you and your
brother. "First be reconciled with thy
.brother," before you can'hope to offer
your gift Then come words of deep-
er warning. We are told never to
neglect an opportunity of reconcilia
tion because.if we do, our offence
against brotherly love will stand as a
perpetual appeal against us at the bar
of God's justice stand until the for
bearance of God is exhausted, and we
are cast into prison never to 'be de
livered thence until the last farthing
of our ten thousand talents has been
paid.
Our Lord then speaks of the seventh
commandment He tells us that de
filement lies for us not only in a vile
rfct, but-also in the. base thougfit that
our purity must be not only that of
the clean body, but also that of the
pure heart Such purity, because it
is from within, is able to defend itself
against those pollutions which come
to us from~without This and this
only, can 'make us safe from sin. He
then goes on to tell us what this inner
strength will enable, us to do. "If thy
rigjit eye or thy right foot cause thee
to sin, pluck it out, «.ut''it off." Notice
what this means. It is not only sins
which we are to thus dispose of. it
is. everything which causes us to sin
not Just the fleshly lusts, but those
other things, harmless, or even neces
sary in themselves, which $ast mis
use, or the weakness of, our natures',
has made a source of corruption in us.
Work or pleasure, or friend, or hatyt,
of life, whatever it, may be which
makes^us live less as God would have'
us live, though they are as close or
as dear as eye or hand, His command
is, "Pluck them out cut them off, cast
the mfrom you.". Is It a hard saying?
It is His command. His command for
the members of His Kingdom.
Next comes a teaching for society.
Men have thought they found here
a conflict between the command
of Christ and that of Mosesi There is
no such' conflict. Before the time of
MoseS, divorce had been a matter of
whim or caprice a matter lying alto
gether with the individual. Moses lim
ited that He made it a matter of law.
The one seeking divorce must obtain
it,X he had sufficient ground^ for it
only from a le&l officer and by legal
process. So much *he law of Mosep
did. \t could do no more, because of
the hardness of men's hearts. But.
now the higher, truer development: of'
the law has come. By the Incarnation
of Jesus Christ the marriage relation
has been sanctified, along with all the
other relations of human life. This
New Creation has restored the condi
tion. as it was from- the beginning:
"They are ho mor&itwain but one
flesh, Therefore, what God hath join
ed together, let no man put asunder."
Thus Is the' law fulfilled' for those who
have leaded what hiunan love may
he, because they: have seen what .di
vine love is.
Christ nex^ addresses Himself to
another abuse of the law. The habit
of over affirmation, of making oath to
a truth by calling, to witness this or
that or the other thing, had become
very common among'the Jews. They
were, as His words show. accustomed
to swear by the tepp)e, by Its gold, by
Its offerings, by their own heads, ete.
Christ points out that the only thing
which gives such expressions any
weight,'la the fact tKat God is behind
and in these Rings 'which are t^sed
in these oaths. The things ate His,'
and jOj to swear by them-is to swe^tr
by Hinu Wh^n we understand this we
see the evil of many expressions
whfchare&U too commontoday. How
ofteh you hear the careless eiclatn
atloM. "mercy," etc. What
Umid
niNUi? They an attributes
.of Qod and. aooording to the assertion
of our wbrd here, tb«we^r jy them is
tfl swear.by God.. SoHe says, "Swear
«pt at BuV'havhig pointed thia
^ai^e thf ^ic«at
vrU'otAlt ^JchTiab'lts, apart fUM ike
pwanlngs. of the words psed. He iays
they "oWBe of evU." The oath ItseU,
would ".be, there could be, no audi
thing as an oath of affirmation. There
fore, whatever is. beyond the yes and
no, of simple statement la the result
of evil. It is not of Christ, it Is of
the enemy of Christ
•. 89. The .natural man revenged
himself to toe uttermost F6r evil
inflicted on himself, for .an eye or a
tooth, he exacted, if he could, life it
self: Moses commanded that only
equal vengeance should be meted out
But Christ says, "If any man shall
smite thee on the right cheek, turn
to him the other also." How can this
be made to correspond with that other?
Simply by remembering that tills is
the. law of love added^ to the law of
justice. The one who demanded an
eye for an eye thought only of justice
to himself. The law of Christ views
justice as it affects that other. You
are here not to vindicate yourself, or
to relieve your own feelings, you are
here to help your brother, and to make
him more God's Son. If you ton lead
him to understand his sin .and repent
of his violence by patient endurance
of wrong at his hands, you are to do
so. But if you cannot, then remember
that you are seeking justice for him'
because of your love for him and so
this love which cannot win him by en
durance must strive to do so by stern
ness. You must help those you love,
even though, in doing sq, love must
do violence to Itself. This is the jus
tice of loves law. Be all ,things to all
men, so that you may lead them in
the way of salvation.
40-1. The same thing as above is
true of covetousness. Lead your
brother to, see the aseleesness of the
worldly things at which he snatches,
by letting him find how little you re
gard them, and how useless they-are
when so acquired as here, or in what
ever, way the lesson can best be
brought home to hlni.
42. Words which have been much
misunderstood. Notice what is said.
"Gljre to him that asketh thee." Give
what? what he asks? Not necessarily.
Christ did not give what they asked
to the sons of Zebadee. Peter and
John did not give what he asked to
the impotent, man. God does not give
what they ask to those who pray to
Him. By their example then, we are
to give to those who ask of us what
those were they need, not what they
think they need. And we are to learn
what their need is by this same law
of love. Indiscriminate charity is not
the product of love for your neighbor
it comes from, love for yourself a
selfishness which will not trouble to
find out what you think really does
need. Turn not away from him that
asketh turn to him give him first
•your loving sympathy, and then what
ever else he really needs. So you ful
fill the law of it
43-5. Here again the law is ful
filled. The enemies of the Jew had
always been the-Enemies of God. But
the Hebrews had come to hate the peo
ple, because of their sin. Now they
are told that they are to separate be
tween the people and their sins. All
were to be redeemed in Christ, and
henceforth there is room in the King
dom for all. So comes the command,
"Love, do good to, pray for, those who
are opposed to you. They, too, are
the children of your. Father in heaven..
See how He treats them then go and
do likewise." Men- have called this
hard and impossible. It is not, unless
they make It so by refusing to see the
truth on which it rests namely, that
a child of God must learn to act as
God does toward His other children.
Else he does not remain a child of
God.
46-7. Chr.ist claimed to be teaching
a higher life, and here He shows us
that if this life, this truth which He
is teaching and giving is to be a higher
one, it ifiust rise above 'the hyman
standards which even sinners recog
nize, and not produce simply duty to
God and justice to man, but rather
love to God and love-to man.
As a crown for all this part of His
teaching our Lord then speaks those
glorious words, v. 48. Perfect not
meaning that God's perfections may
be ours here but that we. may have
the hkppiness of seeing and feeling
and beginning them here. We can
begin to reflect His love of Hfeart, be
gin, to reproduce His power of life
begin to' have His knowledge in our
souls. And if we do thus begin to do
Sere, as the ages pf eternit^ shall roll
along, we will continue to grow to
ward His perfectness because we did
oh earthx, begin to do what we'could'.

their standing as faithful Catholics
and they are supported in their course
by Archbishop Farley. These writers

Will soon be imbued,, with their teach
ings phd spirit
Such a movement In Catholic circles
promises much for the prosperity and
usefulness of the Catholic church in
America and tor the general religious
life of the country. This spirit, how
ever, Is not new a vast amount of
admirable scholarship has been achiev
ed by American Catholic scholars in
different religious fields, although the
work In biblical criticism has been
given anew prominence by the clergy
men ,named. Many protestants who
deplore the sectarianism of protestant
ism, the barrenness of its service and
its failure to appeal to the less edu
cated classes of the population would
find themselves at home In Catholicism
as soon as they could feel assured of
religious, and intellectual liberty in
the Catholic church. ^There is also in
this movement the promise of a re
conciliation between Catholicism and
the modern spirit. Such work as
Fathers Gigot and Driscoll are doing
will bring them and ^others of their
faith into close relations with protest
ant scholars. As Catholics and pro
testants are working shoulder to
shoulder in social and political reform,
so may they co-operate in the field
of biblical and theological investiga
tion. Together in social service and
approaching one another in religious
thought, the union of Catholics and
Protestants does not seem so hope
lessly far away.
The considerable number of the
graduates and/friends of.Oberlin col
lege conservatory and theological sem
inary in Fargo and vicinity are watch
ing the actions of Prof. George F.
Wright, senior professor of the sem
inary, with interest not unmingled
with anxiety. Dr. Wright has been ex
ploited in the Literary Digest as prac
tically the last of American scholars
who holds the ancient literalistic no
tion of biblical inspiration, as accept
ing for example the deluge as histori
cal. The venerable professor, whose,
department is the reconciliation of
science and revelation, has recently
championed the great monopolies,
standard oil in particular and the Rus
sian bureaucracy. He defends the
czar and his advisers even in the ac
tion of Bloody Sunday. He excuses
the massacre of the Russian .Jews on
the ground that they aRe unpleasant.
Rabbi Griess and others are making
it unpleasant for the professor, who
also finds the atmosphere of Oberlin
rather frosty. Personal regard may
prevent the institution from formally
repudiating the utterances of Profes
sor Wright, with which no other mem
ber of the faculty is in sympathy.
The Wrong Book.
Harper's Weekly Not long ago a
young woman employed in the home
of one of the trustees of a New Eng
land public library became a member
of the probationers' class in her
church. The pastor gave the young
people a list of books which he re
Quested them to read before they were
fully admitted to the church. In this
list was Pilgrim's Progress, and the
young woman asked her employer if
she could vfind it in the library. He
told her that she could and she re
ported to him later that she had ob
tained it and liked it very much. A
member of the family soon after this
happened to see the volume the girl
was reading and was greatly amused
to find that its full title was Innocence
Abroad or, the New Pilgrim's Prog
ress. The trustees are now consider
ing the advislbility of putting this
reference on the Bunyan card in their
catalogue "See also 'Mark Twain'
for a later Pilgrim's Progress.''

A great delicacy in Florida, accord
ing to "The Cleveland Leader," is the
tip of an alligator's tail, it tastes like
fipg legs, though a bit more gamey.
Alligator tails are best just after the
rlcebird season. The big alligators
float in the water with only their eyes
showing. When they see a flock of
these flat, juicy little birds they dive
to the bottom. Their long, wide snout
scoups up some of the loam and they
float to the surface again with just the
rich soil showing. The birds think it
is an island. They alight upon it
When the whole family is there the
big reptile turns suddenly. Just as
the birds scramble off he opens his
mouth once. They are gone. The
birds are neat little feeders, and the
alligator is an etficure at this time of
the year. The ricebird diet makes the
tip of his tail, of which he is most
vain, tender and sweet.
