NA V;U~~L Subject: Jesus Christ. Br"ookln, N Y.-Preachi-g at the Irving Square Presbyter an Church on the theme. "Jesus Christ " the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor tocK as his text John 1:14: "And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us." He said: The character and career of Jesus Christ are the ground of human hope and the basis of mankind's belief in His power as the Saviour. His life, as the evidence of the sincerity of His speech, is the source of His success. The outward action of our Master is the signal and the surety of His inward healthfulness of heart. .n His life, precept and practice were at coincidence. With Him thought and deed always were concurrent. His words conveyed His real intentions and His innermost ideals. His language was to lead men unto eter nal life and was never used to con ceal a wicked thought. Preaching a gospel of light unto the salvation of the world and pro claiming His personal sufficiency as the Saviour of mankind from sin. Jesus Christ talked truth, walked true, died on Calvary, in devotion to His divine commission, unto the sav ing of the souls of sinners. The life of Jesus is remarkable, not only as it reveals His oneness with divinity, but also as it shows to us what qualities of manhood are 'otent for a real success. Tack ling the mightiest problem in the world the Christ exemplifies what are the means that we should use to win success in all our lesser strife. He teaches us a lesson that should count for much in all our daily do ings; which should make us forceful factors which shall lead men up to God; which should push us ever near er to His holiness and grace. The life and the death, i. e., the career of Jesus Christ, reveal tc us four divine qualities of character that every man should possess. in His downright earnestness; in His fiery intenseness; in His clear cut, sharp directness; and in His faithfulness to the truth and to His trust, the Friend of humanity leads every man suc cessward, if he will to go. The earnestness of Jesus Christ is a secret of His power. Tendering to men a surety of eternal life, Hle did not fool their time or His own away. Professing a pledge' of upliftment from the depth of sin, He held His I Iword in serious regard. The salva tion of the. world was not mere child's play, but a whole man's, yea, the God-man's, labor. The need was for a man who was dead in earnest. Such a man was the Christ. Earnestness made Christ a win ner. Clearness of vision as to His mission would have beon of none effect had the Christ been weak of will. Love for men and loyalty to His Father made strong demand for earnestness. The pluck and the push cf the Master secured the consumma tion of His purpose. Irresolution would have merited defeat, and it would have gained our Lord oblivion. Lack of zeal would have lost th.: Christ to history. But for Hi- ear nestness and determination the story of His virtues never would have reached our ears. Earnestness m.l.e Christ push the fight into the coun try of the enemy: courage and resolEu tion won Him fame and secured Him in His place of glory in the Father's home. With a fier- intenseness Jesus battled for the souls cf men. His was no lukewarm, milk. and water, blow hot and blow cold, half-hearted enthusiasm. The Christ was always ardent. His spirit never cooled, but was ever at a rich, white-heat. His was enthusiasm compounded. Be lieving, as He did, :hat the happiness of the human heart and the saving of the human soul are the main con cerns of human life, our Lord had ever a aeal that was glowing. Trust ing in the power of divine aid ar.d knowing the need of the human re.ce to be saved from sin, Jesus Christ was as full of earnestness as He was of grace and truth. Grace is good; truth is a talisman of might, but grace and truth need grit and fire ere they do their greatest work. Iron is a mineral of worth, but for battle give me tempered steel. Mer- of muscle are goodly to the sight, but for action send me out the man of courage and the souls who want to But with all his earnestness and intenseness the Saviour made un erring aim. Directness was not the least of His commendable traits. The need was for good marksmanship and a sure sight. Sin was at the centre of the world's distress and to hit the middle of the target was the mis sion of the Christ. Jesus never minced matters when He dealt with sin. Without care for the conse quences and with no circumlocution our Lord let loose His fiaming wrath uon the works and the workero of iniquity. His was no uncertain, wav ering voice. The fear of the outcome of His fierce denunciation of spiritual and moral lawlessness was foreign .to His heart. Clear, sharp, with an incisiveness that cut to the very core of the matter, He stated the funda mental pr'opositions of 'the Kingdom of our God and then made His ene mies admit the power of His points. His was no halting, thin-toned state mnent of eternal virtues. Feeling within the deepest recess of His heart that sin was the cause of man's suf fering and knowing that r.re-birth was necessary to a full salvation, the Master sent forth those firm, direct and forceful messages that have been the object of the curses of a few mnd the hope and inspiration of a mighty and unr.umbered host who do honor to His name. To supplement His earnestness and flaming directness Jesus added sur passing faithfulness. Faitulness is but a simile for steadfastness. To be faithful is to have a cordial cer tainty that the right must win .nd also to be ready to stand firm and valiant for the truth until righteous ness shall prevail. The Christ was pre-eminently faithful. His was the incorruptible devotion to the de mands of duty which .should be the ideal of us all. To Him we must turn do we wish to see the ideality of ser vice. From Him must we learn would we get the wisdom that shall gain us our ambition's goal. Sitting at the feet of the Master do we enter into knowledge of a fine fidelity which commands respect. Earnestness, intenseness, direct ness. faithfulness-these are the four words that point the lesson for us now. To Christians aon to the Christ 7 MA PA1OSL DM SIN"' less souls of the universe of God, the Soriour is the interpreter of the salient qualities that are necessary for a life's successes. He it is who illustrates and objectifles for us what our lives should be. The need for these cardinal virtues was never more evidentor well voiced than in this day. In the world of business they are no less needed tuan in those religious spheres where moral and spiritual verities are up permost. The necessity for the exer cise of these qualities that make for manly might is everywhere apparent. To' the man who would attain busi ness predominance and commercial power they are invaluable and indis pensable. Deduct the moral crim inality which has made possible the success of many of the industrial ar - financial leaders rif our day and the fact that +h- influence is largely based to indomitable pluck and energy and dutifulness still outstands all else. Backbone and push have beer the reason for the rapidity in advancement of a throng. A clean bull's eye gains applause for the man with the hand and the true sight. Directness brings to a man the con fidence of the crowd. Half-heated, poorly-fired, swaying. swerving. ir resolute men without sense or sand enough to be true to anything for any considerable length of time nev er reach the top. never attain, never are lifted to a place of power. The world has small use for moral weak lings or men without spunk an# grit, at the front. These characteristics which we have denominated as among the dis tinguishing features in the Christ's career are most essential. however, to the man who would reach the highest usefulness and be most a blessing in the world. Needful as these quali ties may be to those who would be famed for physical and material achievement they are ctill more re quisite for those who desire spiritual graces. Especially are they compul sory and mandatory for those who have not acknowledged Christ and would wish to call Him Lord. The soul's restoration depends entirely upon the willingness of the sinner to seek salvation earnestly and In faith. Spiritual baptism is the gift of the Father to those only who come straight to the point. Excuses and attempts at palliation of our personal guilt merely delay the crisis. Ex tenuation and mitigation are of none avail. Decisive and conclusive yield ing of the heart to the Master is the one concession that will bring a snir itual surcease from the woe of a wicked life. Earnest endeavor to be faithful to the trust of the Christian Sonship gives growth and greatness in the spiritual life. These gospels from the life of our Lord have special bearing upon the activities of the church. The church of Christ is no.t so earnest, not so in tense, not so faithful, as she should be in the soreading of the seed of salvation. The church has lessened her directness too much In her at tacks upon the strongholds of sin. We have been content with medioc rity while the devil has gained as cendance. The church, to be the agent for godliness t1-at she is called upon ,to be, must get down to busi ness. Half-heartedness puts the flag of the Christ at half-mast. We must nail our colors at the top and keep them there. Directness demands clean-cut. un waveiing work done with faithful ness, fidelity and with hoping hearts. The church, each of us and - all of us together, must cease to be satis fid with poor work or none. The salvation of our own souls and the nrocuring of temporal and eternal blessings for ourselves is not enough. Are we to attain success, as an or ganization, in the spiritual work that counts, we must be all on fire wi2h the desire to save men's souls, and to bring happiness to their hearts and lives while here. Lack of zeal will condemn us as unworthy. Feeble fire proves remiss ness. A poor aim lays us open to the enemy's assaults. Unfaithful ness is unworthy of us and will meet the condemnation of our God. 'jCelestial Investments. - Everyone who Is so happy as to get to heaven will have in God's presence "fullness of joy" and at His right hand "pleasures for evermore," but that does not say that they will all have joys and pleasures alike. A pint cup may be full to overfiowing. A quart cup may be full to overflow ing. But the quart cup holds more. The Bible makes it very plain that there will be differences among the redeemed. Some will be saved "so as by fire." It speaks of "greatest" and "least" in the.kingdom of heav en, and of some as having an "abun ant entrance," and distinctly tells us to "lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven," thereby assuring us that It s both possible and worth our while to do so.--Rev.

There was also an earthquake at the time of Christ's death (Matt. 27:51). "Angel of the Lord." Luke says "two i men," John says "two angels," whi2e Mark agreeing with Matthew as to i the number speaks of him as a "young man." These evangelists evi- 0 dently speak only of the one who did e the speaking. "Rolled back." Not t that Jesus could not have burst the 1 barrier; but the ministry of angels was necessary to give form to the transaction to human conception. III. The angel and his message (vs. 3-7). 3. "Countenance." In a the original this word refers not only n to the face. but to the general aspect. e "Lightning." In vivid and intense b brightness. "White." This was heav enly apparel. 4. "The keepers." The Roman guard. "Did shake." The appearance was sudden and unex- V pected. "As dead men." It is very n probable that the splendor of a glori fied body Is always sufficient to over- c] whelm the senses and prostrate the strength of a living mortal. See Dan. 8:27; Rev. 1:27. 5. "Said unto the c women." The angel who sat upon d che stone had entered the tomb as the women drew near. b 6. "Not here." Tombs and Ro- e, man guards and seals could not hold the Prince of Life. "Is risen." The manner of the reuniting of Christ's n soul and body in His resurrection is t] a mystery, one of the secret things I that does not belong to us. "As He said." See Matt. 16:21; 17:23; Luke ( 9:22, 44, 45; 1S:31-33. "See the t] place." Pointing doubtless to the particular cell in the tomb. 7. "Go quickly." The resurrection did two d things: 1. It revived the dead hopes p of the disciples. It was a time of gladness and brought (1) joy, 0(2) victory, (3) faith. Only the fact of the resurrection can account for the marvellous change that came to them, by which they were filled with cour- 1C age to suffer and die. 2. The resur- i rec'ion brought hope to humanity: i (1) It brought the hope of immortal cj life. (2) It gives assurance of our own resurrection. (3) Christ is alive and is thus able to make His prom- C ses good to us, (4) The risen Lord za is the remedy for every trouble. (5) n The fear of death and the grave is re- 1 moved.

Fear at what they had seen, joy at what ec they had heard. 9. "Jesus met l them." This was the second appear- lc ance. The first appearance was to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9). It 0l seems that when she told Peter and s John of the empty tomb they at once ce ran to the sepulcher to see for them- s. selves (John 20:2-10), and she also (c returned at once to the tomb. Dur ing her absence the other women had received their commission from the angel and had hurriedly left. Peter and John soon left also, and Mar.y remained alone at the tomb weep- ag ing. It was then that Jesus appeared tI unto her (John 20:11-i8). Later in the morning Jesus met the other b women who had gone to tell the dis ciples, wh:, were probably scattered ~ and may have been some distance away. "All hail." Literally, rejoice; the Greek salutation on meeting and ~ parting. "Worshiped Him." By fall- w ing on the knees and touching the T ground with the forehead. g 10. "Shall they see Me." This public appointment was made in or der that the whole body of disciples , might meet the risen Lord. V. The Roman guard bribed (vs. ~ 11-15). 11. "The "atch." We sup.-b pose the quaternion or guard of four 'e soldiers. 12. "Taken counsel." ty They probably had a hurried, infor mal meeting to consider the best course to pursue. "Large mon.ey." It took a large bribe to ind'uce th~em E to thus criminate themselves. 13. "While we slept." The absurdity of this position is apparent: 1. The disciples could not have stolen Jesus away had they attempted It. 2. The ta disciples were as much amazed at the news of the resurrection as were the b priests. 2. The Roman soldiers set n to watch Jesus' tomb wd9uld not all be asleep at the sane time. 4. Thet' council could not have voted large sums of money merely to have re ported a truth. 5. Sleeping soldiers t could not know what -took place. t< 14. "Will persuade him." 'Per- i aps by bribes or by threatening to d report hi,s evil deeds t& the Roman b emperor. "Secure you."
