in this or any other audience ow many
want sympathetic help! Do you guess 100!
Doyouguesawll.’ You haveguesssdwrong.
I will tell you just the proportion. Out of
1.000 people in this audience there are just
1.000 who need sympathetic help. These
young people want it just. as much as the
old. The old people sometimes seem to
think they bavea monopoly of the rheu-
matlems. and the neuralgia, and the bend-
scbes. and the physical disorders of the
world. but I tell you there are no worse
heartaclies than are felt by some of these
young people.
Do you know that much of the work Is
done by the young? Raphael died at 37;
Richard III at 33‘. Gustavus Adolphus died

influence at 37; Cortes conquered Mexico st
30; Don John won Lepanto at 25; Grotlns
wss attorney general at St. end I have no-
ticed amid all classes of men that. some of
the severest battles and the toughest work
comes before 80. Therefore we must have
our sermons and our exhortatiou in prayer
meeting all nympetbstic with the young.
And so with these people further on in
life. What. do these duties! and lawyers
and merchants and niecbanla care About
the abstractions of religion? What they
want is help to bear the wbiuisiculitlee of pa-
tientn. the bniwbentlng of legal opponents.
the unfairness of customers. who have
plenty of fault finding for everyimperfrc
tion of handiwork. but no praise for 20 or
cellencies. What does that brain racked,
band bllshercd mutt cure for Zwingle‘s
”Doctrine of Original Sin" or Augustine‘s
“Anthropology?" You might as well go
to a man who has the pleurisy and put on
his side a plaster mods out of Dr. Pan’s
“Treatise on )lt‘illcfll J urisprudencs."
While all of is sermon may not be help
ful alike to all. if it be a Christian sermon
preached by a Christian man. there will be
help for every one somewhere. We go into
an npothccary store. We see other: being
waited on. We do not complain because
we do not immediately get the medicine.
We know our turn will come after awhile.
And so while all parts of a sermon may not
be appropriate to our cue if we wait prny-
nrfully before the sermon is through we
shall hsve the. divine prescription. Isay
to these young men who come here Sub
bath by Sabbath and who are going to
preach the gospel. those theological .stu-
dents—I say to them. we want in our err»
room not more metaphysics. 'nor more
imagination nor more logic. nor more pro

What we want in our sermons and Chris-
tisn exhortatlons is momsynipatby. Whoa

audience lay hold of that door it must come

the ordinary hus‘l‘niess
voices of the thousands of worshipers made
the place resound with manic. The subject
was, “Helpful Churches." the text. being
Psalms xx, 3, "Send thee help from the
sanctuary,"
if you should ask 50 men what the church
is. they would give you 50 diflennt an-
swers. One man would say, "It is a con-
vention of hypocrites." Another. “It is an
assembly of people who feel themselves a
great deal better than others.” Another.
"It is a place for gossip. where wolvsrlne
dispositions devour each other." Another.
”It is a place for the cultivation of super-
stition and cant." Another. ”It. is an arsenal
where theologians go ll) get pike‘s and mus-
keta and shot." Another. "It is an art
gallery. where men go to admire grsnd
arch“, and exquisite fresco. and musical
wsrblr. and the Dsutgqne in gloomy im-
-- ." Another man would say: "It is
the best place on earth except my own
home. If I forget than. 0 Jerusalem! let
my right hand forget her cunning."
Now. my friends. whatever the church is.
my text tolls you what it otigbtto be. a
great, practical. homely. omnipotent help.
’Scud thee help from the sanctuary." The
pew ought to yield restfulneas to the body.
The color of the upholstery ought to yield
pleasure to the eye. The entire service
ought to yield strength for the mall and
“wattle of everyday life. The Sabbath
ought to be harnessed to all the six day: of
the week. dmwing them in the right direc-
tion.
The church ought to be a magnchvisibly
and mightily affecting all the homes of the
worshipers. Every man gets roughly jos’
tied. gets abused. gets cut. gets insulted.
gets sllghted. gets exasperated. By the
time the Sabbath comes be has an accumu-
lation of tilx daya of annoyance. and that is
astsrveling church service which hes not
strength enough to take that. accumulated
annoyance niiil hurl it into pcrdltion.
The business man sits down in church
hendscbey from the Week's engagements.
Perhaps he wishes be had tnrrled at home
on the lounge with the newspapers and the
slippers. That man wants to be cooled o!
and graciously diverted. The first wave of
the religious service ought to dash clear
over the hurricane decks and leave him
dripping with holy and glad and heavenly
emotion. “Send thee help from the sanc-
tum-y.”
cunncu uvstc.
In the fin-hplsce sanctuary help ought to
come from the music. A woman dying in
England persisted in singingto the last. mo-
ment. The attendants tried to persuade
her tostop.enylng it would exhaust bar
and make her disease worse. She an-
swered: "i must sing. I am only practic-
ing for the heavenly choir." Music on
earth is a rehearsal for music in heaven. If
you and l are going to take part In that
great orchestra. it is high time tbst we
were stringing and thrumming our harps.
They tell us that Tbslberg and Gott-
kcbalk never would go into a concert until
the)‘ bud first in privum rehearsed. although
they were such masters of the instrument.
And can it be that we expect to take a part
in the great ornimio of heaven if we do not
urbane here? But! not not spcsklug of
the next world. Sabbath song ought to
set all the Week to music. We wsut not
more harmony. not more artistic expres-
sion. but more \‘0llllllt‘ in our church music.
Now. lam no won-liiprr of noise, but I
believe that if our American churches
would with full lu-nrtincile of soul and full
emphasis of voice sing the pangs of Zion
this part of moral woriilil p would have ten.
fold more pom-r than it has now. Why not
take this purl oi the sacred service and lift
it to where it ought to be? All the annoy-
sumol life might bedmwned out of that
sacral song. Do you tell me that it is not
fuhioniible to sing very loudly? Them!
say. swuy wlth the fashion. We «lam back
the great hilssiioiippi of conuregstlonsl
sinxlng and let a few drops of melody
trickle through the dam. l say. tske awsy
thedam and lei. the blllows roar on their
way to the oceanic heart of God. Whether
it telnebiiinsble to sing loudly ornot. let
us sing with all nveslble emphasis.
WI hear a great deal of the art of sing-
ing. of music assn entertainment. 0 music
aesrecreation. It is high time c heard
something of munlc as a help. a practlail
help. in order to do this we must only
have a few hymns. New tunes and new
hymns every Bundsy make poor congre-
gational ltllly‘lilK. lility hymns are enough
torw yesrs. The Episcopal church preys
the same prayeh every sabbath and yen
alter your and century after century.
For that I'l’flitllll they have the beartyre-
muses. Let us take a hint from that fact
and let us sing the name songs Babbsth
after Sabbath. Only in tbst wsycsn we
come to the full force of this exercise.
Twenty thousand years will not wesr out

“What amused our party most up in
the Adirondnclts." said a Scranton man.
"was an entertainment given to us by a
lock of storytelling owls. Our csmp
was away back in the wilderness of
Herkimcr county.‘nntl we had hardly
turned in for the night when a flock of
owls alighted on a tree over us and be-
gun to tell stories and laugh. Every
owl listened in silence to the one that
was talking, and when the tale was fin-
ished the whole flock laughed as though
they were tickled half to death.
"They reminded us of a lot of drum-
mers in a smoking car. and they had
such jolly ‘fun it became contagious.
We all rolled and laughed over the fun
the big eyed birds were having up in the
tree, and before long the side splitting
contagion attacked some locus out'bn
the lake. which fairly yelled with do:
light whenever tho fun loving owls guf-
fnwed sod shricked and shouted over a
right good yum told by one of their
number.
“Once in awhile a story was so funny
before the knob was reached that we
could bear two or three of the feathered
listenerssnicker and chuckle under their
breath, and when the mid came the en-
tire flock made the woods ring. The
jovial birds had met expressly to swap
experiences of the night before. and
they talked so plainly that we could
easily keep a run of their anecdotes as
we lay on our beds of aprucc bougbs.
"One of tho owls told about how a big
mt that lie hull caught by the back
yanked itself loose and showed fight.
The owl described how he had let the
rnt flatter itself that it was going to lick
him, how he finally bit his tail of! at the
root, and how the rat then went squeal-
ing and zigrnggiug around with no rud-
der to gnidoits movements. The picture
soamnsed the eager auditors that they
