And this is done, not by logical processes, but by simple affirmation as rne result of Immediate and intuitive knowledge. uur Lord seems to take for granted that the Fatherlion i 0f God does not need to be proved, that It only needs to be asserted, and assertcd and kept In the foreground, to cummena itself to our minds and hearts. And we know this the only representation God which gives aatisfaction and rest; and which makes obedience and submission easy. "'Not only is there a clearer revelation of what God is. jc.slla Christ, than In the Old Testament, but there is also a clearer revelation of what duly is.

The morality of the New Testament moves on a higher plane than that of Moses and the prophets. For one thing, ii. is simpler and more winning in form. There is no change in the substance the law. demands supreme love to God and equal love of the neighbor.

But the thoupht of God as Father transfigures the requirement, changes it from a legal command Into a filial offering. It Is sometimes said town Court House, and George Mager shot a large eagle. When they went to get the bird it showed fight and two more shots were needed to kill It. Keiller and Mager took the bird home and found that it measured six feet six inches from tip to tip and weighed nearly fifty pounds. Mager will have the bird mounted.

Winfield Village Saved From Destruction by Good Work of the Firemen AT A FIERCE MIDNIGHT BLAZE. Damage Estimated at and the Catholic Church Was in the Path of the Flames. (Special to the Eagle.) Winfield, L. May 1G But for tho good work of the fire companies of the Town of Newtown at the worst fire that has ever occurred in this place in years the business part of this village would have been in ruins this morning. About 12 o'clock last night fire was discovered in the stable adjoining the saloon owned by Mrs.

John Eichler and managed by Daniel Brandon on Thompson avenue. An alarm was quickly sent in, but before the engine company of this village arrived on tho scene the llames had spread to the saloon and the adjoining houses and on account of it being in the thickly settled portion of the village the conflagration was a hard one to cope with. When Chief David Keesc arrived he sent in a third alarm, which brought all the available companies to the scene of the fire, which in spite of their efforts seemed to gain headway. After nearly two hours hard fighting the firemen got the llames under control. The two story frame hotel building, bowling alley and adjoining structures, belonging to Daniel Brandon, and tao adjoining two story frame dwelling house belonging to Mrs.

J. Keifer were both totally destroyed. The fire, it Is thought, originated in tho hotel kitchen. The damage is estimated at SIS. 000.

The Rev. Dr. Behrends preached in the Central Congregational Church Sunday night, his subject being "The Old Testament as a Lamp, and the New Testament as a Day Star." His text was: "We have also a more Bure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shin cth in a dark place, until the day dawu, and tho day star arise in your hearts." II Peter, He spoke as follows: "The version greatly helps us to a true understanding of this sentence. It transposes the comparative adjective more and makes it the predicate of the clause, with the following result: 'And we have the word of prophecy made more Peter had just insisted that he and his associates had not followed cunningly devised fa bles in their preaching or Christ as Saviour and Lord, but that they had been eye wit nesses of His majesty, and had hoard the di I vine voice on the mount when Jesus was 1 transfigured before them. "That revelation of His glory made more i sure the word of prophecy.

The idea is not, as the rendering of the older version suggests, i that the witness of the Old Testament is superior to the witness of the Living Christ, but that Christ makes more sure the authority of the ancient and old oracles. The spirit who guided tho prophets in their speech dwelt in Jesus without measure and as a per soiutl possession. The epistle to the Hebrews opens with the same contrast. God, of old, I had spoken to the fathers by the prophets. but the revelation had been fragmentary 'at sundry times and in divers broken up into many parts, and given in many forms, In tho last days, God has spoken to men by His Son, who is the effulgence of His glory, and the carved image of His essential being, I so that the revelation is complete as to contents, and exact as to form.

The Old Testament is not discredited, nor set aside us useless, but it is treated as imperfect, as all preliminary instruction must be, and we are exhorted to sit at the feet of Christ as our Teacher. Or. to use Peter imagery, tne uiu Testament is a lamp shining in a dark place, while Jesus Christ is the day star, or the sun. scattering the darkness more completely than any lamp can do. "We mav even carry the application a step farther.

The lamp is not intended for day uso. We light it only at night. We dispense with it when the dav dawns. At midnight a lantern Is a good thing: at high noon it would be ridiculous to walk the streets with lighted candle ur lamp. The Old Testament served its pm sci in I age of the world in the centuries preceding our Lord's advent and ministry.

Cut now, the light of the world Is Jesus, and to Him we I are to turn for instruction and guidance; not i only to what He said but also to what Ho was and did. "Note, liowever, that the lamp and the sun perform' the same office. They give light. I They do not create the objects of vision. I They simply bring them out into distinctness.

a lamp Hives only a dim disclosure and liphts the path for only a very little way. tne sun brings objects Into sharp distinctness, and makes the whole horizon luminous. In the sunlight we see more clearly ami we see much farther. And this holds true of the revelation which the Old Testament Hives, and the revelation which Jesus Christ gives. The first is a lamp, the second is the sun.

"There is a clearer revelation of God In Jesus Christ than tviore is in the Old Testa ment. We come nearer to His essential anil eternal glory. Not that Christ gives us a dif ifcrcnt God from the God whom Moses and David and Isala'n proclaimed and worshiped. Then is no remodeling of the eliaracter of Grid. But there is heighli ning of color.

Just as the sun brings out outline and tints which the lamp does not. reveal. It is more particularly the symmetry and beauty of God's character which an: brnui.t out in the life and words of Jesus Christ. The physical and metaphysical attributes fall into background. The moral attributes, especially those of the sympathetic class, come to the 1 front.

I "When we face Christ Himself, or study His voi ds. it is not the oiiinipo: tkv. no. the omniscience, nor the omnipresence, nor the elernily of God, that fixes our attention, but the holy love, the syinpa.th ti" fatherhood which slieds its mellow light upon all I i i majesty and might. Ho points to the lilies land iticn wc sec how love transforms omnis into infinite skill.

points to the birds of the air. and we see how universal I government is at heart tie tendcrest over sight and care. Now it is no new thought i which is Introduced. The idea that God is Father is in tc Old Testament. It Is in Deuteronomy, in the Psalms, notably In the i prophecy of Hosea.

Put it is there as one of many attributes. It does not come into cen tral and controlling prominence In Christ it irradiates and glorifies the whole being and government of God. It is not an attribute anions many, but the innermost and eternal essence. God is holy Father, righteous Father, omniscient, omnipresent. omnipotent Father." "In Fatherhood all the attributes are made Harry M.

May 16 The will of William Woodhull Conklin, late of Jamesport. came up lor probate in the Suffolk Couaty responsible to Htm and owing Him absoluto obedience; but we are more.

We are children. That does not lessen our dependence; that does not absolve us from obedience; but does change the inner quality, both of our dependence and obedience. We are not beg ignrs; ve ore o'licasts. Our children arc not ashamed to eat our bread, and we do not treat them as tramps. Our children do not resent our authority as they would that of strangers.

wu are the children of God, and if the filial temper be In us, our obedi ence will ba prompt and free. If wo have this unction In cur hearts we shall think less of the duty than of the privilege and honor of obedience. We shali not be in hoii'i ago. We shall bo free. We shall make it our meat and drink to do the Father's will.

Obe dience will be a perpetual feast instead of an unwelc me Now. this very slai plicity of moral life constitutes, also, its elevation and breadth. Its breadth, because binds us to all men. It makes our hroth erhood universal. There is no more bond or free, Jew or Greek, black or white all arc.

one in Christ Jesus. We are members of one household. "And the filial life Is as elevated as it is broad. Because of it. Christian morality will not permit many things which seem to be regarded as commendable in the Old Testament.

Think of Jael smiting Glsera in her tent and praised In Deborah's song; think of Samuel's hewing Agag to pieces as the prophet of Jehovah; think of David's cruel methods of warfare; think of the imprecatory psalms; think of Elijah's slaughtering tho prophets of Baal and then remember what Jesus said to His disciples, when they proposed to call down fire from heaven: 'Ye know not of what spirit ye are." Christ lifts us out, of tho murky air of the Old Testament morality. For it was Imperfect, and we should honestly confess it. At the heart of it there lay a mighty passion for righteousness, and that redeems It. But the passion was crude, with many a barbarous element in it. and tip se elements find no place in the character and con duct which Christ commands and We are not to live as Abraham or Samuel lived, but as Christ lived.

We are not to go back to the world's night time, with a lamp to guide us; we are to walk in the noonday light, which Christ has ushered in. "There is a clearer revelation, too. of the way of salvation in Jesus Christ than there is in the Old Testament. 1 or the religion of the Old Testament a religion of expectancy. It looks forward.

We look backward to the Cross and upward into tho heavens. Ours is a religion of assurance. The Redeemer has come. Sin and death have been vanquished. We need no more the al tars of burnt offering and of Incense, nor the mediation of human price's, for by one offering Christ has forever redeemed us and abolished the law of ordinances.

"And while the revelation in Jesus Christ is clearer on these great matters of what God is, and what man's duty is and how man is saved, it also sweeps a wider horizon. To the Jew, even to the pious Jew, the grave was dark. His lamp did not help him much when he came to life's end. His faith did not fail him. He trusted in God's covenant.

He felt sure that God would not abandon him in old age and in death. But he thought little of the future. His lamp did not shine I far enough. It gave him only such light as bf needed for nresent. conduct.

But in the death and resurrection of our Lord all this has been changed. It is the Father's house, to which wc are going, where the many mansions be. The heavy darkness which tho Inmp could not dispel has been scattered completely by the Day Star or our faith. The whole horizon is clear. 'The difference Is not that the Old Testa ment believers lived only in the present.

while wc live in the future. We are to live In the. present, as did they. We are to save our souls here and now, and all the more because our light is greater. Hut we have this immeasurable advantages we know what lies beyond the tomb: Their lamp did not pierce Its gloom; our Day Star has dispelled it.

and we are victors when we fall! "Let mo close with a practical hint. Mod crn discussions about tho Bible have brought perplexity to many minds, in the church and out of It. No serious man wants to givu up the Bible; it has done too much for men, and ihere is too much precious treasure in it. But there is also much in the Bible with which we cannot bring ourselves into accord, which fills us with perplexity and pain. And these things confront us in the pages of the Old Testament, and especially in the older portions of the Old Testament.

Can we draw a dividing line in our study, or must we either take it all as otiunlly authoritai iv: for us, or reject It all? I answer, the Old Testament is a lamp; Jesus Christ is the Day Star. The divine word in the Old Testament i was a candle, shining In a dark place. It served its purpose to wake a better and nobler life in souls wdio lived amid a dark and debasing paganism. They had the moral and religious virtues in a germinal form. But the light was dim at the best, and the i life retained many eiualllies which provoke our disapproval.

There is a word of God in the Old Testament scriptures, but it is not the final and corrjdete Word of God. "Jesus Christ is the Day Star of reveia tlon. Shall we use the lump or the sun? How shall we read our Bibles? Shall wu go through the old Testament to the New, or tbrotigh the: New Testament to the Old? The; latter course is sun ly the wisv. r. And lip: structure of the New Testament is admirabl here, making the four gospels the of its literature.

I should say, then, rca 1 the gospels first and most, and approach every part of the Bible through Jesus Christ. Let Him bo the law of life and the touchstone even of the Bible. You may safely drop out everything that does r.ot fi: in with what He says and is as imperfect and us belonging to an age which we have outgrown. I'se the sun and not the lamp.

Enormous Trade in Meats in Brooklyn, Yet Eew Cattle for Market Raised on the Island.

West Hills, L. May 16 A recent review of the quantity of beef, mutton, lamb, veal and pork, brought to Brooklyn and either consumed by the population direct or converted into packed and cured meats in the course of each week during what is termed the meat season, which embraces the cooler months of the opening of the year, shows the following enormous figures: Pounds. 4.S10 beeves at S50 lbs. each makes 3,126.500 15.100 sheep and lambs at 45 lbs. each makes C79.500 calves at 73 lbs.

each makes 32.n00 7,100 pigs at 150 lbs. each makes 1.065.000 Total pounds 5,153.000 Allowing the season to cover eight months the number of animals brought to Brooklyn in that time for use as stated would amount to 1.066,694 or 175,202,000 pounds, and to that must be added, what Is consumed during the remaining four months of the year. The curious feature in considering an industry of such proportions is the fact that but an infinitesimal part of the material handled Is brought from Long Island. Why should Long Island farmers leave the production of all this material to competitors, many of whose lands are thousands of miles away? It is all very well to say that meat can be raised cheaper far West than on Long Island. Even so.

does not the freight paid to bring it to the seaboard either add to its cost or equalize to a great extent the larger expense of production on the spot? Then let the farmer here take into consideration the benefit to their lands in feeding upon and returning to them much of the crops they could be made "to produce. There are thousands of acres of good grazing, grain and root growing soil on Long Island, not now utilzed to any profitable extent, which in the newer description of forage, corn, sugar beets, mangel wurzel, turnips, carrots and artichokes, all of which are most prolific In yield, would grow abundance of fattening diet for every kind of animal. Each year the land would be Improved by such husbandry and render the system progressively easier of procecution. No especial district need be selected, for there is little land on the island which would not grow some of the crops enumerated to perfection and they are all feed crops. A correspondent pointed out in last Sunday's Eagle that from the result of their experience, certain migrating farmers from the island would have been better off had they remained on their Island homesteads and developed the fruit growing possibilities of their natlvo lands.

He might well have added stook culture to his suggestion. Several of the heretofore profitable crops of the island, asparagus, cauliflower and cabbage among them, have not done so well the past year or two, owing to insect ravages or too long continued repetition of planting upon the same ground. A rest from those crops for a while and substitution of those for feeding referred to herein, together with cattle rearing and fattening, would be a remunerative way of restoring to the soil its capabilities for the resumption of the erstwhile cultures, if they were detmed to be the more profitable or desirable.
