Dr. Cookes Discourse—Rev. W. W. King at the Wesley M. E. —Interesting Memorial Fxurc:se3—Other Services. At the First Presbyterian Church last night, the pastor. Rev. Ur. \V. II. Cooke, preached an interesting and in structive sermon to a large congrega tion. The subject of his discourse was “God.” He said, in substance: It is our duty to have a distinct im pression and a definite knowledge of God. A complete knowledge is impos sible. as being beyond any created capacity, but a clear and sufficient knowledge, sufficient for all possible, human need and attainment is within our reach. The fragmentary ac quaintance with the material word is not exhaustive either as to general outline or as to details, but partial knowledge, true so far as it goes, can be attained anti' used. Considering who God is any avoidable ignorance concerning Him is inexcusable. The altar to the unknown God has no longer a reason to exist, since it is written ‘‘Whom ye yourself worship, declare I unto you.” What we chiefly want to know about God is not the extent of his power to be answered by us in admiration of om nipotence; nor 11 is moral government as King f tin* conscience to whom we owe alegience and confess it: nor as the supreme intelligence to whom all science comes with its tribute of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 1 tut whether or not this God of whom we hear so much has a heart. Can the children of men call him Father? Can the sinful penitent say Father in Heaven? Who will show us the Father? Where can we find God? If discovered will He repel or will lb* attract us? Heaven is high indeed and no angels come to us. But God is manifest in the llesb. even in Jesus Christ, who has said, he who has seen me hath seen the Father: and of whom God has said re peatedly. "This is my beloved Son. hear him." To form acquaintance with God, to have companionship with Him. we follow Christ, the same in I substance, equal in power and glory Son. our brother. What a clear and God since the advent of .Christ. His Son, our brother? What a clear and astounding revelation it is. But where is the record of this life of Christ? In the Scriptures of the New Testament wherein we may read [ourselves into knowledge, living, sym pathetic, saving knowledge of God. But .many read without change of heart, or conscience, or life. They read without profit. So many do in the read ing of books on any subject. They have eyes but they see not, and have ears but they hear not. How must all read to profit? By asking for the gift of the spirit of God to interpret the Word of God incar nate and written. Christ has promised this spirit, and said to the Apostles concerning them that “He shall take of mine and shall show it unto you.” The spirit reveals the son, the son reveals the Father. The Word was made flesh and dwells among us. and we behold His glory the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. The spirit dwells in and with men. manifesting Christ. Our knowledge of God came through Christ, in the Scriptures, by the spirit. Our duty to represent Christ; to bo like Him in character and in conduct, in holiness, justness, goodness, truth; to be winsome, gentle, attractive; to have His spirit, self-restraint, self-forget fulness in benevolence, unobtrusive in virtue, that indescribable but world conquering Chnst-likeness that tom pells recognition even on part of the world that he who hath il has been with the Master. Christ shows ns the Father; the spirit and the world show us Christ; : h-t us show the Christ to men, that ; they may say to Him: “My Lord and my*God.” This ts a splendid office, a high calling, a noble service, worthy of the ambition of an angel, while it is I the duty of man. MEMORIAL SERVICES At the English Lutheran Sunday School Sunday Afternoon. Memorial services were conducted at | the First English Evangelical Luth | eran Church, Sunday afternoon, in memory of Miss Mary E. Robertson. \n address was delivered by Rev. Or. » unningham, and letters from Or. Par* nitz and Rev. Dornblaser were read by liev. Sell warm. Miss Annie Meyers read a letter from Or. Peschau. The following resolutions were tend hv William J. Huggins and adopted by the school: (tut beloved Sunday school has never before in all its historj sustained so severe a loss as in the death of Miss Mary E. Robertson. She rests with God. and her works do follow her. Whilst we rejoice over her triumph ant death and eternal victory, we nevertheless miss her familiar face, miss her friendly word/ miss her holy companionship, and as co-workers with her. be it hath pleased our Heav enly Father to remove from her sphere of gnat usefulness in Christian work, out dear friend and follow laborer for Christ, "Miss Mar>." it is meet that wo should make some public recognition uf our great loss, and sympathy for her loved ones.

Always at her 1 fiost or duty, unless providentially de tained. ever ready to lend a helping ! hand to the wants of the poor or sym- j pathise with the distressed. She had ; Posts of friends who loved her. Resolved, That as her chosen field i of teaching was the infant department i where she drilled generation after I generation of little folks in the funda- I mentals of faith, the elements of Bible j knowledge and simple hymns never ; losing sicki of the children thus . brought into the church, not in an | official or officious way. but just in 1 her loving, friendly, motherly fasiiion. She watched over the scholars through their Sunday school life. It vfould he interesting to know how many a twig she bent in the right direction, and kept it in place until it could be de pended upon to stay there. In this work our loss is irreparable. As her life was a living epistle, known and read of all men. may we as officers, teachers and scholars imitate the life of her, who loved her Savior deeply, and loved the habitation of his house and the place where His honor dwell eth. May we devoutly cherish the memory of our dear sister. Her la bors, trials and sacrifices for the cause of Christ, while she dwelt among us, that it may be said of us, as of her. “Servant of God, well done." rest from thy loved employ. The battle fought, the victory won, “Enter thy Master’s joy.” Resolved. That these resolutions be published in the morning papers and our church papers and a copy sent to her loved ones at home. MR. WM. J. HUGGINS. MISS ANN SCHOONOVER, MISS ANNIE E. MEYERS. Committee. KKY. W. W. KING _ I Oaii|i!r<l tin* Pulpit at the Wesley M. E. Church. Ar the Wesley M. H. Church, Rev. VV. W. King, of Layfayette, Iud., sou-1 iu-law of I)r. li. T. Ford, proached an interesting discourse, taking his text | from .Matthew, 12:12. He said in sub stance: To the thoughtless these words might onlly provo ke a smile, or at most a feel ing of surprise and wonder that such a seeruiugly silly expression should be fouud In the Word of God, but those who notice the connection of these words with sufficient care to get their truo meaniDir will see uo occasion for regarding them with levity, but will rather be impressed with the profouud philosophy which underlies them and with tho great truth which they were designed to express. The literal trans atiou of the text will be how much then is a man of more consequence or value than a sheep—which was equiva lent to saying to the Pharisees, You un derstand the value of a sheep, and be cause of the money which it repro-ents justify yourselves in trying to save it i >n auy day. I understand the intrinsic j worth of man, and because of tne ! greater value which he represents shall 1 not be granted exemption from the ame Sabbath regulation in helping and saving him that you claim for your -elves in saving a sheep? The argument had enough humor and pleasantry in it to impress the | Pharisees with their consistency, but I underneath it all is this great sublime truth of man’s value in the sight of | God, which is the subject. To speak of Christ’s estimate of man’s value is j equivalent to affirming that there had oeen other estimates and that the value which ha places upon mau differs from these. If this tie the truth then the tirst thing to be done is to find out as far as possible wbat these other esti ; mates have been that he may know to what extent and in what particulars : the place and value which Christ de- , scribes to man differs from these, and thnt we may decide upon this com parison and contrast, whether Christ’s estimate is the correct one. Going back j to the very earliest times of which wo , have auy record, one of the first! things that impresses us is the little I value tiiat was attached to man in those days. His mode of living was very little different from that of tho animal by which be was surrounded. Almost no provision was made for tbe comfort or protection of his body, and human life was regarded so trillingly, that it was taken on the slightest prov ocation and without compunction or sacrifice. l’ersonai difficulties and grievances were settled by mortal com bats; wars were organized campaigns of butcherv; prisoners, cripples, aged and Infirm people were put to death without thought, and anthropophagy (the eat ing of human llesb) was universally . practised. Coming clown a step further within the historic period of man seems to assure the higher value and importance; but looking a little moro closely you will discover that it was not because his na ture was regarded as possessing inher ent splendor of majesty or that he had any inherent valuo within himself; but the impulse was to honor the accidents of huindu uature more taan the nature itself, and especially to honor the ex traordinary power which was some times associated with it and to conceive this the supreme thing iu humau expe rience. Tbo accidental powers some times belonging to man was the thing of value aud not the man himself. Whoever had this by acquisition or in heritance, became thereby au object of! respect and even homage, and whoever bad it not was of Iittio Importance. lie also discussed the place which man occupied under the Rrahinanic system and also under the Hebrew system, showiug that none of these systems; attached anY special value to man as such. He also spoke of the low estimate j which is piaced upon man by the teach ings of science, which ha* tried to prove that on his physical side he is little! higher than the ape. Continuing, he said: In contrast with these various, yet in the main concur rent, estimates of man's value, consider the value placed upon him by Christ, tie taught that man. any mau. every mac. without regard to the accidental environments of birth, or inheritance, or nationality, or any circumstances of attainment or achievement has intrinsic value. That there is a stamp on human nature wherever it may be found which, without regard to race, color or condi tion, give# it a Gxed and eternal value— a value that is not affected iu the slightest degree by any racial pro scription or limitations, or by any of those accidents or clr-j cuinstances which atTects al! other esti-: mates of its value. That there is neither rtuo or a is honor !u being a .lew or (ien tile. or Ureek or Harbariao; but eterua honor in baviefi being cheated a human being, and so he gave Himself, not for the Creek or the Hebrew, or the Roman as such; not for the rich or the po^r, \ the bond or the free, but for man, any man, for every man. The speaker said it was difficult to assign any valuo to some uiec, so worth less do they seem. Christ came to save all, for all have that stamp on their nature which gives them intrinsic value.
