Charles H. Ricketts Speaks on Passion for the Kingdom. At the Cbngregational church Sun- day morning Rev. Charles H. Ricketts preached on Passion for the Kingdom, taking hig taxt from Rom. 10:1, “Brath- ren, my heart's desire and prayer to @or for Israel is that they might be saved.” He said in part: This sentence is characteristic of Paul's spirit. It shows that he had a passion for the kingdom. It was quite natural that the kitgdom nearest his heart was that of nis own countrymen. Knawing the man as we do, it is not strange that ne pours out his heart for the salvatfon of those who are near and dear to him. He bent every fibre of his great mind and will to whatever fie_undertook. To my mind there is no doubt that Paul's great success was due to 8 great characteristic more than to any- thing else. AnA, after all, is it not the secret of every man's success? Let anyone read that long catalogue of hardships which Paul endured for Christ’s sake and then dispute if he <an the apostle’s place among the world’s heroes. There is only one ra- tional ‘explanation of this great career and that is that St. Paul had a pas- sion for the kingdom as it had been revedled to him in anad through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Paul had a great ideal befors him and that ‘was to make paople see {he reasonable demand that Jesus Christ had upon theém and that he was Lord above all Lords, by the side of whom local di- vinities wers not only provincial but awarted into utter insignificance. Paul succeeded, just as Julius Caesar suc- caeded, by letting his ability and gen- lus se touched with inspiration; in fesfing an intens> passion for some great thing that was worthy of his best effort. There s the same idea in othet departments of life; it has al- ways been a perfsct passion for a cer- tain definite thing tha: has ursed a man to give time and strength to the exclusion of all elsé that has brought the highest success, Let us now apply this same thought to church life. How is the church to nmeet with the same measure of suc- ceéss that 15 found in other things? Thers is no secrct here, scarcely any Problem. Paul the apostle found out tho secret centuries agp and solved the oblem. What the church needs to- 4y more than anything i1s material tc work with. And this material is not self-productive any more than cotton and wool are eeif-productive. A quick glance over the average morning con- gregation shows that the base of sup- Ply néeds to be bolstared up. The chtirch needs to he a live recruiting station in which new solaiers are to be mustered into the service of the Lord. Now I have 4 little plan Wwhereby we may boom this church if we will. If we can only get a little inspiration from the Men and Religion Forward Movement, we can earry out the plan. It was suggested al the meeting of the standing commiftes last Thursday, and that is t5 divide the standing commit- tee into department heads to have charge of the different phases of the church work: to create new interest ajong the various lines of ordinary church work. T would have this s tion of the city carefully mapped out. I would have every non-churchgoing family located. 1 would discover what may be the social conditions of that family, its hindrances and possibili- ties.” T would have the claims of this church presented so as to make it ap- pear as worth while. If any family should express a preference to some otker church, I would put them on the track of said church. I have held for a long time, and I still hold, that if the people went to -church as they do in Toronto, Canada, or as they used to in Rocekvllle, the cry about too many churches would disuppear. T will ad- mit that at present, judging from church attendance, thers are too many churches. But let us see what the condition would be if all Protestant people did their duty in going to church. Now, then, have we as meém- bers of this church a passion for souls and the kingdom of God? If not, why not get it by first getting ourselves You know Andrew did when he found the “he first findeth his own broth- er.” He wasn't satisfied to recetve the glory -until he had shared it with somebody else.

H. J. Wyckoff Spesks of the Great| Emancipator. A special Lincoln memorial ser¥ice was held at the Second Congrega- tional church in the eévening with Sedgwick post, G. A. R, the Woman's Relief corps and the Sons of Vetérans as invited guests. The music included The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The Star Spangled Banner, given as Solos, with chorus by all, America, and the anthems The Barth is the Lord's and Great Western Land. The address by the pastor, Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, was upon Abraham Lincoln. He said it is fitting te celebrate the birth rather than the death of our great men; the cause rather than the effect; the source rather than the stream of influence. This source is both kn6wr and unknown. We know Lincoln’s lineage. He s of humble parentage, the child of rude, ready, ploneers. His mother was a frail Wwoman, of much beauty and depth of soul. The dark, melancholy streak Tunning through his life may have been an inheritance from her hardships and disappoiniments. She knew sorrow, want, and need—but with an under- standing of the infinite to sustain her, Physically Unattractive. As a boy, Lincoln was physically un- attractiv Yet he was never the butt of ridicule on this account. His inner nature shone out through his awk- wardness and he was a general favor- ite with boys and girls. The latter recognized his fineness of nature and innate chivalry. Rven in boyvhood he had the respect of all who knew him. His own mother died young, but be- iween him and his stépmiother there was the closest Intimacy amd to her he gave the credit for all he came to be. To his father he was a true son. Though frolicsome and sportive, he had this streak of soberness which some- times made him brooding and apart as if anticipating the great responsi- bility which came to him later. A phase of his life not often touched upon is Lincoln as a lover. His sweet and holy love for Ann Rutiedgé and his boy's heart torn with anguish over her death show the future man. This wound never healed, though there was the warm and sweet relationship with Mary Todd, who read his heart aright and knew the affection of the great man. It is the home life which tells what a man really is. Sense of Love and Justice. As a lawyer we know how he ob- tained his knowledge. We know, too, he did not enter into it for any thought of wealth, but from his sense and love of justice. He wanted and tried to enforce justice, He never took a cage he did not think was just— ne\;?l © used his hit to deflect a jury. i wanted the whole truth laid bare. No wonder he was called Honest Abe, A8 a lagislator he saw the natural alliance of politics and law. It was not party success for him, but success for the state and nation. He voted for the houndless development of Illinois. These plans may have been premature, but theéy are justified today by the re- sults, There was no graft in his makeup. Honesty, sincerity and truth were the traits which made him great. He was a born leader, first on account of hig great physical strength, which as a boy gave him the championship of the county. He had a temper, bul he recognized it as a foe and learned to completely control it. Sécond, he led by his unique and original and unusual way of saying things. He always used thi¢ wit to gain some end. He was always open to convietion of the truth but not changeable. Studied Public Opinien. Another secret of his leadership was the way in which he studied public opinion—not that he might yield to it, but rather to lead it aright to make it favor his ends and become the bulwark of his policies. He was unyielding in his defense of principles and unshaken ih the right. What would have hap- pened to the republic had he not been! His sympathetic tendencies were not a weakmess. His tenderness of heart and interest in individuals were often shown, and he was always in conflict with his generals on this account. His letter to the mother who lost five sons emphasizes it. His sympathy for the victims of slavery began at New Or- leans at a sale, and he determined then that if he ever had a chance he would hit slavery hard. But he had a greater sympathy for the whole nation. Like Moses, he had a sense of personal re- sponsibility and suffeted with the American _people for fear the national life be cut short, He had a cl derstanding of the crisis and its full meaning. He was not a figurehead. tory. Gift of Clear Expression. He had also a gift 6f cledr expres- sion. i had the utmost clear- ness and simplicity so that his Gettyvs- burg address is a model of oratory surpassed by none. We know the sor- row the was to him, how he hoped to avoid it, and the melancholy that settied upoi him like dark night whil he was wrestling for victory., The re- action that came to him on the news of Gettysburg was one of the white lights in this gloom,when he and Star ton danced around the room until e: hausted. Heé was not a church mem- ber, but hs believed and trusted in Jod with all his heart and there can be no question but that he was a re- ligious man. He was a leader by di- appointment and led always by God. A few sweet days of victory and supreme joy came to him before his d@eath—the death which sent a thrill through the whone nation no other event has ever done. through the whole nation as no other accusations he reviled not again: no word of bitterness or malice on his part was spoken and his memory glows purer and brighter with the passing years. SUPREME COURT CONSTRUES LOCAL WILLS. Trust Fund Belongs to Estate of Mary E. Childs. The judges of the supreme court of errors in consultation at Hartford Fri- gave ouf dedisions in 11 cases which were argued several Wweéeks ago. Thére was one New London county case, it being that of William H. Allen and others, thustees, against Andrew B. Davies, administrator, and others. An action for the construction of the wills of Zachariah Funtington and Thomas M. Huntington, late of Norwich, brought to the superior court and re- ice of the supreme court of errors. The lower court is advised that the trust fund in the hands of the plaintiff trustees, exclu- sive of the process of certain real es- tate, ‘belongs to the estate of Mary Elizabeth Childs and should be turned over to her executor. The trust fund being the proceeds of the real estate held in trust for the use of Mary Elizabeth Childs, belongs to the estates of John M., Hegry B. George W. and Elizabeth Childg and shovld be divided in equal parts @nd turned over to the administrators of the first three and the executor of the latter. COMMON PLEAS COURT.
