SHAKESPEARE'S IDEA OF MAN He Studied the Secrets of the Human Heart and Brain. HIS BELIEF IN SPIRITUALITY. Rev. Harsha Preaches an Interesting Bermon Showing That the fm- mortal Poet Believed in the Teachings of the Bible. church last his aud- At the First Presbyterian night IRev. W. a0, Harsha treated fence to an interesting discourse. The sub- fect was “Shakespeare's Idea of Mao." He waid his text would be found in the eighth psatm and the fourth verse: “What Is Man?” Standing in the citadel of Athens in an- clent times wore three statues of Minorva. The first was of olive wood and was supposed 1o have descended from heaven. The second ‘was of bronze and was placed there in com- memoration of the battle of Marathon. The third was a blending of gold and ivory and was rogarded as one of the triumphs of an- cient art. Longfellow has mado beautiful use of these when referring to man. Stand- ing in the citadel of time, ho suggests, man may boe held in thrao aspects; first as tho child but lately descended from heaven, then s the full grown man ready for toil and hardship, and lastly as the gold and ivory, patriarch, hoary-headed riponess, honored as & Christian, a marvel of meekness und dis- tinction, Most people cau appreciate the beauty and truthfulness of this comparison. It requires no very full knowledge of human nature to recognize in the innocent little child a bit of bumanity that has just dropped out of the ®ky, or in the struggling man a thing of brorze to meet the assaults of the world, or in the white-haired patriarch a blending of the gold of tried experience and the ivory of fmmortal hope. But bow few people o be- ond these generalities in their study of uman uawre! The average man knows more of God than he does of himself, thouzh his conception of the Supremo Being is usu- ally not vory accarate, He can give you a truer description of the stars in the heavens than hoe can of the emotions in his 0wn breast. an talle European polities by the hour could not give.you a definition of his onscience to save his life, One of the els of our mal p is the ease with wo acquire knowledge of distant things and the reluctance of the mind toward matters of every. A Shakespeare seenis 10 been one ms who gave most of his attention to the secrcts of tho numan heart and brain, Consequently we find that he kuows man as no other writer in all the literature does. Notonly was ho honest in_prying into the chambers of his own oul, but he ever had his eyes open to the minute and unconscious self- revelation of others. He must have studied the traits of the Elizabothan dandies and ladics as carcfully as Leonardo da Vinei watched tho mobs of Milan to get the faces of his great picture of the lastsupper. On no other theory can we explain Shakespeare’s marvellous delicacy and truth as a delineator of human emotions and passions. This faith- ful and painstaking observation is absolutely essontial to every writer or painter who at- tempts to portray the secrets of the soul Dickens used to be fond of saying that whatever skill he had attained unto as & writer was due to the habit of obse 100 he had formed as oung man, und Wis friends all unite in ug that his long walks In the country or through the city of London were simply ox- cursions in search of material for his stories. We are interested, first of ail, in discover- ing that Shakspeare believed in the spir- ftunlity of man’s existetce, Ho was very far from holding that men is mere orga fzed dust. moulded by the laws of nature, animated by a principle of life to run on for & cortain time, and then go back to dust and ‘e no more—no more forever, He agreod entirely with the bible that the body is the mere temporary residence of the immortal princigle with.n us, and that at death the soul goes to be with God who gave it. Lot me quote a few sentiments from his writ- ings showing his position on this: #My comfort is, that heaven will take our souls,” “And, for my soul, what can 1t do to that, Being a thing immortal ' “He gave his honors to tho world again, Ris blessed part to heaven, aud slopt in 3 “Sweet pe: bosom Of good old Abraham!" sfhen T am in heaven, T shall desiro To see what this child does, and praise my Maker.” ce conduct his sweet soul to the “What is spoken, The body shall make good upon this earth; O the divine soul unswer it in heaven,” #Tho soul aud Vody. rive wot wore fu part- ng, Than greatness going oft.” This belief in the spirituality of man is the foundation of tho poet's most sublime utterances, a8 where he says: “What a iece of work is man! How noble in reason ! ow infinite in faculty! In form and mov- fng, how admirable; in action how like an ugzel; in apprehension how like a god; the Bewuty of the world; tho paragon of animals!"” And then hoi gloriously ho ex- claims, s if ke were ono of the prophets: #Nor stony tower nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of irou, * Cau be retentive to the strength of spirit.” Aud then in Hamlet be sums the whole bing up: *‘\What is a man, If his chief good, and market of his time, but to sleep und feed! A beast, no more, Sure He that made us with such large d course,— Looking before and after—gave us not ‘That capability and God-like reason To fust in us unused.” 1 need not pause to show vou how fully all Ahis agrees with the teachings of the bible, At the first God made man of the dust of the round and breathed into his nostrils the ireath of his own life; and we became like unto deity, Sin has tarnished that likeness, ‘but still some traces of it remain and they may be renewed and restored. Whenever ohild is born into the world God rebreaths out of humself a breath of life; and when a man dies this immortal principle returns to its oternal source. Carlyle said: “Tno glghwl Being reveals Himself a man,” ovalis said: “There is but one temple in the universe, and that is the body of man. Nothing is holier than that high form.” We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a buman body,” And Paul said: “‘For we know that if our earthly house of this tavernacle be dissolved we have a buildivg of God, a house not wade with hands eternal in the heavens.' iis is one philosophy. Bhakespeure also believed most robustly in the power of conscience an an indwelling sense of right and duty. He taught thut ') Dot meddle with it it is & dangerous llmil! it makes a mao a coward: cannotstea] but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear but At checks him.” And with what terrible truth does he portray the hurts of a guilty sud aroused conseience ; “Conscience is a thousaud sword: *'Like polson given to work a great time after, Now beglus to bite the spirits.” ““The cloggivg burden of a guilty soul.” *'Conscience doth make cowards of us all, nd thus the native hue of resolution sicklied o'er with the pale castof thought, And enterprises of great pith and wmoment, With this regard, their currents turn awry, And lose tho name of action.’ “My conscience hath & thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, id wvory tale condemns,me for & villain,” £ Such expressions must suffice as examples of tho view the great bard took of human accountability_and the unrest of a guilly conscience, He ugrees perfectly with serip- tures, for God says such things as these: “*Iherg is no peace unto the wicked.” **Iho wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.”” “The sound of a shaken leaf shail chinso them, and they shall fleo as flecing from a sword.” ‘These teachings of scrip- ture Shakespoare had seen 1llustrated over a er ugain in tho lives of the men with whom he associatad, us you may see them in the society around you tod Aud the immortal poet ness of a peaceful conse ¢ also the bloss , for Lo sings: 1 feel within me .

At length he came upon an old_apartment, neglected and filled with rubbish, and his mstinets seemed to tell him that here his search would be rewarded.

HYOUR BESY FOR JESUS.” Somo Sens ble § by v The Rev. Mr. Savidge preached in Boyd’s Opera house to @ very large and deeply in - terested andience last night. His toxt was from Mark xiv-8, *She Hath Done What She Could,” and the subject *Your Best For Jesus,” was intended for the consideration of women. The woman of whom Jesus speaks did her best for the Master, ‘This was Mary, who never rested until ste could do something for Jesus after He had raised ber brother Luzarus from the dead. Soon after that a supper was given at the home at Bethany in honor of the Lord. At this supper Mary pours upon tne head of Jesus the costly bostowing upon him the very bost. n guests objecting e said, ‘'L 5, she hath wrought . wood ' work on us, she hath done the best she could.” The ' world has had many women who have done _ theic best for esus, Catherine Wolffo devoted a large part of her colossal fortune in found- ing educational ivstitutions for women. Miss Dodye was doing a noble work for tho working girls of New York city. There are many women in this city who are doing effective work for humanity—work that is only known to God. Thousands of mothers are making costly offerings to Jesus. ‘The pastor alluded to u letter he had lately received from a young man in Omaha, who acknowledired that he had been going to the bad, but the restraining influence of his mother’s prayers was still upon Lim. but hundreds of women do nothing worthy of Jesus or of themsclves, They read novels, take care of a fist cur, lounge on sofas and crochet yellow dogs. 'Their lives are worth- Whien God has a big case against a 0 he hitches him to this kind of a woman, Mauy girls come here to tina work, strang- ers in the city. Who looks after them to keep them out of the traps and pitfylls pre- pared for them? The dangers of dance und play houses is great 1o this city. The last annual report of the commissionor of labor devoted to the condition of workingwomen in large cities in this country shows thut out of B8,866 lost women who gave information on the subject 1,155 had been engaged in hotel and house work and 1,236 went out directly from their homes into a life of shame. But the com- missioner says that, from ail that can be learned, one need not hesitate in asserting tuatthe working women of the country are a8 honest and true as any class of citizons. ‘Ihe pastor has been surprised find that many men who lead dissipated lives have had serious home troubles, He exhorted women to let cvery one in their housaho!ds know that they are Christians; to treat their servants well—it may be styl but it is no Christianity to treat them other- wise; to let their influenco be felt outside of their own homes, ana to help tho friendless, homeless girls, SIUMBLING BLOCKS, Oncs That Appzar in the Way of Eternal Salvation. “Take up the stumbiing biocks out of the way of my people,” was the text chosen by Rev. A. W. Lamar for his sermon at the Firsy Baptist church last night, 1t is taken from [sarah lvii: 14, The preacher said: Sitting in my study on & beautiful spring morning, @8I looked out througu the open door upon the beautiesof spring, I fell to musing upon tho goodness of God to wen. My musings were suddenly cut slort by a beautiful bird flying into tne room through the opew door, It lit upon the book-case and took a survey of the room, and as its eyes fell on me it became frightened and dashed itself against the window-pane in its bhaste to es- cape. 1 waited to seo what it would do. I said to myself, “Surely, when it sees that it can not get through the gluss it will take its flight through the door by which it came.” 13ut 1o, it continued to beat its wings av the window until it was so weary 1t could not fly. ‘T'hen [ caught it und held it until it had recovered strength, Then going to the open door I gave it 1ts liberty, How like the foolish bird vainly seoking its liberty by boating its wings against the window pane is the soul that_secks its life and liberty by another door than that which (God has made. As it wasin Isaiah’s day so it is now. The unbelieving seem not to learn by experience the folly of trying o find sat- 1afaction out of God., ‘they continue, like the bird, to beat at the window pane. ‘Though uired in the disappointment of & sia- ful life, they will not be‘ conviuced of the folly of it. There is & great difference between the old-time erooked, up-bill, down-hill, stumpy, rocky, winding mountain road in a new country, where the road finally ends in & mountain gorge, without any way out, and thav of the modern, splendidly equipped trunk ralway which bridges the gorges, tunnels the bills, filis up the valleys and girts the lund from sea 1o sea. And just as great & coutrast exists between the crooked ways of the sinuer, which end nowhere, and the blessed way God hath made for him, God's way is spoken of as a_great highway which Christ has set up in the ages so that every one who believes and o0)eys can go safely from earth to ueaven, Through all the ages God has been sending his agents out to advertise this highway and to take away thestumbling blocks which prevent his elect from entering it. When Isay elect [ mean that God has his elect everywhere outside of bell. 1 understand that Christ has a large church outside of denominations, You remewber he said, **Other sheep I have which arg vot of this fold.” "Also *'I must briog other sheep W one fold and one shep- herd.” 'To those, therefore, who have not heard the shepheras voice, who have not acknowl- edged themselves his sheep I come with Joving hauds in the name of my wmaster to take the stambling blocks out of the way. 1t is astonisbing that the very things which should ve always means of helping souls heaven sometime become stumbling blocks, and occasions of falling. 1If, therefore, I hed light upon these thiugs, and shall for some of you succeed in taking the stumbling blocks out of the way I shall have done you ® great good, We notice, first, that preachers of the Rospel are sometimes stumbiing blocks in the way of the people. Ths ought uot 1o be 80. It way be uoreasonable that is so. Aud it may be so when the winister is not aware ol it, or is uot to blame for it Leb me ex- THE plain by an incident: A certain minister was called from a country to a city church. A good sister observing that his cont was shabby presented him with w benutiful piece of try made jeans which she fad woven with bor own hands, accompanied with money to have it made intoa suit. Heimmediately had tho sust made, and wore 1t upon his first appearance in s city pulpit, Mo noticed that many people looked at him askance. He noticed ihat in small groups after the sorvice the would 100k toward him and_whisper toge- ther. He could not understand what it_all meant, A few days after a committee called on him and informed him that his suit of clothes was very offensive to his oultivated congregation, and that they would be glad if he woula distontinue woarnmg it, at least in the pulpit. He auietly mod them that he would take the matter into consideration. The noxt Sunday ho said from the pulpit this: *{ am informed by a comui tiemen that my cultivat congregat rded at my suit_of clothes, 1w At this suit of clothes has a histc cloth was woven by a brocious woman, She prosented it to o with the money to have it made up into this smt, Now there are scveral reasons why it is in: convenient to diseard this suit of clothes. First, it is o gift; second, it1s puid for; third, it is the only suit | have, If, however, it is a stumbiing block in the way of this congregation you know the remedv. Take ye the stumbling block out of the way." Tlhiey took the hint, and presented him with a suit of broadcloth, Tho manner in awhich people make a stumbling vlock of the preacher 18 sometimes supremely foolish. 1If it wera not for tho so- rious consequences it could be laughed at as ridiculons, Sometimes when a minister has preached a geand sermon, fnil of Christ, of earnestuess. and of love, t would seem as 1f Tis sermon should then and there produ great resuits. As tho people scatter to the homes, if you could be an unobserved listener, you would hear expressions like these “Well, I would like him a greatdeal vetter if he was not so flowery.”” Or, "“His sermon was all very well, bu he “was 80 odd, He would never do me any good.” Or, “What a pity such a bright man does not know how to get himself up better.” Or, “‘How unfortu- nate he has not a better voice.” Or, * could enjoy his sermon better if he w 80 friehtfully ugly "' Itis common to people say, “Idon't like this wminist that minister.”’ Sometimes you will e members negiecting their church around, and liv plan.’ And vhat church will “1 used to be a Methodist; or I used to be a I’resk terian; or I used to bo a Baptist; but I don't o there now because I don't like the mun- ister. How delighted the devil must be when he can got churen follis to disliking their winister, and s0 neglect toeir ovliga: tions to God. ' 1f they fall into s ch foolish- ness no wonder the unconverted worid is easily tripped up. The idea that saved men and women will reject the wessage of life because of some defoct in the messenger. 1f a rageed, illiterate, dirt sager should come bringing you a telegram that you had $1,000,000 you would not pay much attention to'tne messenger, but you would to the mes- sage. So it is in re 0 the gospel of Christ, you pay S0 much at- instead of lovingly receiving the message. Christ always sends his messages by imperfect mess YOU Bre going to wait until y messenger befors you accept and oboy message then you will surely be lost? T was never but one perfect man. In all of the v preachers you will find glaring faults. ometimes the minister is to blamo for being a stumbling block. He is too cold, or too selfish, or too indiscreet, or too incon- sistent, or too foolis purgeon relates an incident which will help me to illustrate this last statement. He says: “A certain preacher preached a most earnest sermon which greatly roused up the people, When ho went home with the family he ing and carrying on with foolishness an extent thit a young man who deeply impressod by tue s a private interv q disgusted. Ho left the house and cursed the minister for a hyoocrite. Ho could not understand how the preacher could appear 80 full of anxiety to save souls waiie in_the ulpit, and 8o full of foolishuess as soon us he leftat. So e concluded that religion was o farce, Ten years after, this young man was ill and aying. He sent Tor the minister ‘and reminded him of that occasion and said, It is oo latenow, I am dying without Christ, when, but for your foolishness, I might have been saved.” “Chere are many who doubtless wonder how a minister can be so full of earnestness and concern for souls while preaching ana then be 50 frivolous so_soon after. They do not understand the law of our physical nature which requires that the balance be restored. When we have gone toone ex- treme of excitement this law of balance is apt to react to_the othsr extreme.

Bruechert, pastor of the Free Evangelical Lutheran church, was seri- ously injured while attending a funeral av Albright yesterday afternoon. When the funeral cortege, headed by the buggy containing the minister, reached Tho cemetory gate two engines were standing on the railroad tracks which cross the road near the gate. One of the engines started to *‘blow off"” suddenly and the noisa of the es- caping steam frightened the minister's horse, a young animal, and itstarted up a steep bank on the side of the road, throwing out the occupants of the buggy. The horse’ ran up the embankwment a few feet and then lost its footing, tumbling backwards full upon the prosirate minister. With slmost superhuman strength Mr. Bruechert pushed the horse off, but was un- able to rise, Willing bauds carried hm, to the station near by, where he was placed on the dummy and brought up town. ‘I'ie patrol wagon was called for and conveyed him to his home, at 1115 Dorcas street.
