Every °°‘mtl`Y 118.8 an annual holi-

The French Republic's holiday is

Celebrated on the 14th day of July. This is the anniversary when the gr_im_ fortress of a prison for state criminals was razed to the ground. So on the 14th day of July every °&1‘_°»_11d wagon is stopped in the Parisian capital. Then the young men and maidens, decked in nolid

‘lf-f»il'0. turn the broad boulevard TJ); r tha CUMDDS Elysees into e, ballroom. Then in the French cities can be heard the son8’S of the merrymakers and the music from the different ' bind! Playing UP and down almost every street. The Brazilian Repub-|

llc's holiday is celebrated on the 16th day of November, the anniversary of the time when Dom Pedro’s Empire was overthrown and the exiled Im- perial family had to sail away from the waters of the Amazon. One of the first acts of the Cuban Congress _which assembled after the American soldiers had been withdrawn was to appoint a national holiday to com- !l1¢m0l°8»\’-e the day on which the Cu- ban Republic had gained her inde- pendenee.

But there is an unwise as well as a.

wise way of celebrating the modern holiday. The first way is to glorify the past. The other way is to take

a national retrospect for the purpose'

of rousing our ambitions to go ahead and win the further victoria that must be won in order to fulfil the

mission, and if any minister' tries the latter way he cannot take in the full sweep of our future influ- ence and work unless he discusses

He must attune his sermon to a. world’s theme, as Phillips Brooks, the most beloved man of New Eng- land in his day, keyed his ministry to an international tone when from a European city he sent to a friend at home a. letter which read some- thing like this: “Dear Harry-I wish` you might do as I do every year. I Wish you would annually spend two months abroad in travel. Such a. vacation teaches you the immensity of God’s providenccs and how small are the circumscriptions of our own indi\idual lives and how small even the Episcopalian church appears to be when it is focused from across the seas."

Empluiticaliy the most important

_of all future missions is the spread- ing of the gospel until it shall "be preached in all the world for a wit- ness unto all nations.” The Bible does not state that the millennial day shall come gradually, as the sun- rise first tips the eastern hiils with< llight, making it appear as though the underbrusli upon the tops of the ` . m.ountu_ins had been set afire by some careless campers. It docs not state that the millennial day shall come as when the dawn in the beginning shoots its long, slender bars of yel- low gold ac:'os.s the heavens. It does not stiito that the glory oi the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cove; tho _-‘._~;i_ as the flood tide grad- ually crrct-s up tl-c bench. But the Bible dl;-.S tc-.ith that when the gos- pel of .les s Christ shall be pro- claiiin-:l in c'~ery town, village and city of c\'o:'_v nation; when it shall be pi°o:-liiiiiicrl in the mountain log hut nncl in the ship’s cabin; when it shall be proclaimed under the sha- dow of every legislative hall and by the czuiip-fire of Every heathen tribe; when it shall “be proclaimed in all the world for a. witness unto all na- tions, then shall the end come.” Then the millennial day shall be flooded with light, even as a_ darken- ed hall is instantly illuminated when the innny different electric lights, flash out at the touch of a single button. Then the inillennial day shall be full of brilliancy, as the bl@ness of midnight was changed into the brightness of midnoon when God spake at the morning of crea- tion the four simple words, “Let thelb be light,” and there was light. The millennial day shall come as suddenly as the t0ng\1eS Of fire 18119- ed out of the heavens when the Holy Spirit hovered over the heads of the

parnying, pleading, exultant Pentecos-

1 worshipers. _ How the different religious denom-

inations are able to work side by side in' America for the scattering of the gospel seed may be illustrated by an incident in the life of George Whitefield. One day the great evan- gelist stopped dramatically in his sermon and, looking up as though addressing the throne of the _Al- mighty, cried out in interrogation, "O Lord, are there any Presbyter- ians in heaven?"_ "N0," C3319 bafk the answer. "O Lord, are thereany Episcopalians in heaven?" "‘N0» ' again camo the llllwer. "0 Lord; are there any Methodists in heaven?

_cause these different religious uenom. inatfons believe in the atonement. They can and should scatter the gos- Pel Seed unto all nations because the American nation. was settled and con- secrated by our forefathers to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The second mission is emphatically

the establishment. of an international court of arbitration so that bloody wars in the future shall be an im- Dossibility. That a great interna- tional court of arbitration can be established by the united action of the ten or twelve principal nations of the world is undeniable, and that such a court will be ultimately eg. tablished is also unquestionable. when such a court ls established the United States, England, France, Spain, Austria, Germany, Italy, Rus- sia, Japan and China will each have representatives upon that tribunal. Then when international difhculties arise these difilcultics will be peace- fully settled, as the Alabama. claims were amicably settled before the Geneva tribunal which assembled in 1871, composed of the five represent- atives which were furnished by the United States, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland and Brazil; as the Vene- zuela cluims were settled before a. tribunal which nut in Paris in 1900; as the Alaska boundary line was amicably settled and as the war claims against. the Chinese Govern- ment by the different allied forces are now being amicably settled.

Recognizing the fact, that many

people are looking forward to the time when war shall for- ever be abolished, an imagin- ative writei' once described how the blessed condition was to be accomplished. He declared that the time would come when all Europe would be convulsed by a great inter- national struggle. He picturod that event in the dim future. He arrayed every European nation upon one or the other side of the combat. But the night before the great battle was to open an angel in human shape would be seen going through the camps of' the two armies. 'I his vis- itor would stop long enough to pin upon every soldiei~’s breast a sign. And when the two Vast armies would next day prepare for battle and the command would be given to the troops to fire, not a rifle would flash, not a sword would be unsheathed, not a cannon would speak, because the sign pinned upon every soldier’s heart would be the sign of the cross. The picture drawn by that imagina- tive writer may be accepted a.s a

truthful one except g}n two or three facts. He describe that day as is in the dim future; I believe the day is now almost at hand. Again, the writer describes the peacemaker who will attach the emblem of the cross to the breast of the common soldier as a man. I believe that peacemak- er will not be a man, but a nation, and that peacemaking nation the Anicrican nation. America. shall pin a sign of universal peace upon every European nation b the means of n

tration. This sign shall decree that war, bloody, fiendish, demouiacal war, shall be no longer; that war shall forever be as dead as the mul- titudes of dead soldiers, whose bodies

the American to start forth and suecor the helpless and weaker natlons because God always blesses

the individual as well as the mighty preach. So he preached ln 'th nation that is true to those who are B¢h00lh0‘-‘IB *UWB in U10 Vmhgé 0! weak, Do you know why tho gglgny Eosthamptoli hi! flr8f. Sermon. The

of Pennsylvania never had any dim- culties with the American Indians ? When Massachussets and Virginia were being 'decimated by Indian wars, Pennsylvania colonies were living in. peace and happiness with the red- skins because William Penn was al- ways true and honorable with the

original sttlers of the Amerlcan`hiS 80SP“1 3914 Would literally be

soil. When the great Christian Quak- er was about to sail for America, King Charles of England, asked Wil- liam Penn if he should not send ov- er o. regiment of soldiers to protect the young colony. “No,"- answered William Penn; "I 'do not want a reg- iment of English soldiers. I shall have no trouble with the Indians be- cause I intend to buy the land from them." “Buy the land from the In- dians?" exclaimed Kinfz Charles. “What do you mean? Why I have dcedcd you that tract of' land. It is mine, and I gave it to you. For what then, William Penn, did you pay me $16,000?" "I paid you the $16,- OO0,” replied the brave Quaker, “to purchase your good will, not the land. That land, your majesty, does not. belong to you any more than it does to me. The land of Pennsyl- vania. does not belong to you any more than the city of Lon-don would belong to a party of American In- dians who in a canoe might be blown across the Atlantic and land upon our shores and wh.o then might go up the Strand waving theirtomn- hawks and shouting, ‘The city of London is ours because we discovered itl’ ” So William Penn, believing that all weak and helpless people should be justly protected, crossed the Atlantic and made his famous agreement with the Indian chiefs un- der the “Charter oak,” And as a result. of that agreement the Pennsyl- vania. colonies lived in peace and happiness because they were true to the helpless. So God will proslber Aiiicrica’s future if the American na- tion is true and faithful in its pro- tection and care of the weaker and helpless nations.

But perhaps the greatest mission

next to Scattering' the gospel of Jes- us Christ is to prove that people can be true to Go-rl in its days of pros- perity as well as in its days of ad- versity. When a people are poor. weak and helpless, when a 'troubled and bleeding and suffering people are struggling for liberty and for their very existence, when a collection of ex-slaves are following their leader through the weary journey of a forty' year tramp through the wilderness, it is not so difficult for them to' pray and worship God, but it is difficult for a, people to be true to God un- less when riches come and prosperity comes and unlimited influence comes, they have an especial grace given to" them. It is difficult to be true to God when the mighty fortresses have

been bulldcd at the mouth of every

harbor to keep out~the foreign foelhenlgnfnj gleep, A . ` .

and when the rattle of the factory and-the whistle of the stcain engine, and the blow of the hammer mil the ru.-'p of the saw are all pla,vin_:;‘ an i\.,co.upi~~nIzi\cnt to the tune of u. na- tional Liiuntial success. lt is didi- culiz for ~,i_ people to pray ton super. :1:~.r_u:‘al being, “0,,Qod, give us this day our daily bread,” vvhcri the gf:-unaries are full of wl_icat- and corn and the bank vaults are at-choke with solid gold and the _sevtn years of plcntj: have crowded out of tho pub- lic inincl the fact that there ever could come seven years of abject and um-clievud want. Aird since the _most prosperous days which have yet comic to 0. people are now crowding upcu our nation the Americmipeople will have to pray haivlci' than the people- ever prayczl at the Ply- mol th llock or the Pennsylvania' col- oriists ever priiycd _about William lcitn or the Virginia 'planters ever priiycd at Jamestown to pi-cserve as at n..tion our Christian integrity.

As the American nation is a gov-

ernment for the people and by the people, I would have every one of us this season recorwccrate our nation to God by i'ecoiisccrating our own personal lives to this divine service. When the cnibassador from Germany appears at. the \\'hite House and presents his official documents, he docs not come as it representative oft the German nation, but as the per- scnil ieprc-sentative of Emperor Wil- liam. The enibassador of England rcprcscntes King Edward. The repre- sentative of Italy represents King Victor Emmanuel. But when Ameri- ca’s cmbassador goes abroad he does not represent the president or the nzcretary of state, but he represents the people--the common people of America. And as part of the com- iiicn people of America. we can here and now begin to recorisecrate our government to the Lord in its da s

_ Y

of prosperity by reconsecrating our- A

selves. 0 Lord, our God, can any one have at greater work to do in the’ ev;-nrclizntion of the world than We Anicricans if We will only conavecrate our livcs to thy service?

I seceterl this tcxt. “The ficizl is

the world,” for two rcafors-~ lirst, because the five words; spoiftn by .lts us Christ to his tli>fct}\§e'; cf:;;c'?\ convey thc idea of the wo-l<l'.~ .il swc-cp of Ainci‘ica\’s future ir:£~\\ H 1 p_ the e\‘an_;<-.li7.atioii of the two h yhercs.

But the second reason why 1 scl- ectcd this text' is because it always

has had an intense personal interest _t

to ine. This was the first tcxtl.

whi-:li my' father as a. theological student ever preached upon. When my father was a young man at New _ Bnimswick seminary, ‘he went to _vis-` it my uncle, who was then a-pastor in Easthamptcn, ._N.Y. -"He.went~t_o

‘shop. It is not larger than the or-

my father- was visiting his in-law the Rev. Stephenl the village minister, asked

schoolhouse fs now used a 9, barber

dinary sized parlor of an average city house. In that little schoolhouse the unknown theological student took for his text, "The field is the world.” Ile little realized then that there ever would come a time when

the world. He little realized that before he died his printed ermons every week would appear before at least 20,000,000 readers. He little realized how God would some day bless his pen and lip. He could not foi‘e.‘-'ee his future worldwide power any more than some of us can fore- see the worldwide influence that will result from our lives if we will only help in the days of national prosper- ity to dedicate the nation to the ser- vice of God.

So may the national holiday ever

be to all a sacrcd day. May it bca time when by. retrospect we learn What Pure and noble and consecrated ancestral blood is flowing in our veins. May it be a time when 'the people bow their heads to make an earliest, intense plea that the present generation shall be as true to its gospel trust as our forefathers were true to theirs. Then. after we have knelt. in Pfllyef. may we go forth in- spired by the Holy Spirit to do the work which has been given us to do.
