New York Citt.?Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, which is a Very large building, was filled in every part Sunday morning to hear the Rev. Hugh Black, M.A., associate of Dr. White in the Free St. George'a Church, Edinburgh, Scotland. Mr. JJJack had lor his euDjeet "jesus jiib Own Sign and Miracle." The text was from Matthew xii:38: "Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying: Master, we would see a sign from Thee. But He answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous feneration eeeketh after a sien; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas." Mr. Black said: We gather from its source, as coming from the Pharisees, that this question had a malicious" purpose to undermine the authority of the new Teacher with the people by asking from Him what He could not or would not perform, but from the historical connection in which the evangelists place it the purpose was not only malicious, but almost insulting. Our Lord had been in the pursuit of His beneficent healing ministry, had cured many suffering men and women, and the Pharisees' explanation was that He had. power from an evil source; He did it, tne.v asserted..by virtue of His connection with Beelzebub, the prince of devils. And now, after this explanation of the signs and wonders Jesus did among men, they came with the insulting question, "Master, we would sec a sign from Thee." What sort of a sign did thev want, and what sort of evidence could convince them if they could attribute His healing ministry to diabolic art? The veiled insult of the demand is the supercilious passing over of all He had been and of all He had done, as if it did not count and as if He must now begin to do something of sufficient magnitude to convince them that His pretensions were trustworthy. Now there is a demand for evidence which is legitimate, evidence which is necessary for the highest faith, but in this case, apart from the hypocrisy of the question, there underlay a wrong conception of revelation and a wrong conception of the nature and the place of miracles. They wanted Christ to perform some prodigy, as if a piece of wonder-working could be real evidence of 'Spiritual things; hence, our Lord's rebuke. It is a religious rebuke. God should be recognized for what He is, and the recognition of Him should not be dependent upon external signs, which in themselves, after all, have no spiritual significance. Christ's feeling as regards this is seen through a graphic touch recorded bv St. Mark, -who writes that when the Pharisees came seeking a sign from Him Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit. It showed to Him a lamentable dullness of soul, to think that the recognition of the spiritual should be made to hang on prodigies and on miracle-mongering of any kind. "There shall no sign be given unto this generation," This attitude of our Lord, notice, is not contradictory to the value He elsewhere placed on miracles as evidence. He pointed, you remember, to His deeds of mercy to authenticate His claims when, as in the case of John the Baptist, there was a sincere desire to know the marks of the Messiah, but His miracles were moral acts to educatc and to reveal, not tq, surprise and to, astonish. He knew from sad experience that it was possible for men to believe in the reality of miracles ana ut me same uuic jubc an no u u*. s,jdential force, even to ascribe it to evil powers as the Pharisees did. "There shall be no sign given to curiosity mongers." There can be no sign given to those who imagine that the spiritual can be proved by the material. Mere wonder working is no evidence of the things whica Jesus came to teach the world. Men are not to be led to God. then or now? mep are not to be led to God, in the sense thr Jesus meant?by displays and conjuric? tricks. The demand of the Pharisees showed a radically false idea of the whole nature and place of the miracle and the same mistake is possible to us, and possible to us in jnany ways and forms. We make the same mistake, for example, when we think that faith in Gojl would be easier to us if only 6orae portent were vouchsafed to us; if only we could see some physical evidence, especially designed to convince us. We fall into the Pharise* s' error and merit their rebuke when we sigh for the certitude which we imagine would come from a celestial appearance or from a voice from heaven, or if we could put our Gncer into the print of the nails. To understand Christ's attitude on this question we need to have our minds disabused of the idea that a mere miracle in the sense of prodigy is ever evidence of ? ? 1 Oaw>a mro cirrno BJJUILUUI U.IJJ?B. kJUliiC uiiiawivo ?uv indeed, but only when there is spiritual evidence in them; that is, when they are more than mere wonder-working, which the Pharisees here desired. For example, our Lord's healing ministry was a great and constant sign of the love of God, carrying a revelation yrith as truly as any loving word of the Master ever did. This lets light in upon the true way in which to view the whole question. Our .Lord's miracles cannot be separated from the great revelations of His whole life and teaching. His words and His works are co-related; the miracles are not to be looked on as. isolated exhibitions of power, but as themselves contributing to the revelation. They were net signs, but vehicles of teaching. They are not signs externally attached to the teaching to give it weight, and therefore to make it creditable; not unexplained occurrences testifying in a mysterious fashion to the possession of divine power; they did not evidence the teaching, they themselves are the teaching. They are parables in action instead of in words, moral and spiritual in their effect, not evidential at all, except by the way. They are an integral part of the revelation of the love of Goifl in Christ Jesus our Lord. They have an .essential place in the whole round of the Christian revelation as fruits?fruits of tlhe pity of God, as manifestations of the; divine love, and wisdom; they are part if tfce manifestation of Christ; they are (not guarantees of His message as the Pharisees here meant them, but part of the /message itself, as much evidences of GodTs love as His gracious, tender words are or ever could be, therefore Christ's miracles are never to be conceived of as mere -displays of power. He persistently refused', from first to last to work wonders to make men believe. It is not that the demand^ for evidence is wrong, it is a natural demand that proof should l>e given of all elaii,ns. but we must make sure what really is evidence. A miracle is in itself no proof of \a moral truth, and a miracle can never in iVself engender spiritual failh?not if one rose from the dead would it necessarily imroly the existence of God and the soul's limmovtality. Of course, it is true that everyl miracle was a sign?a sign designed tp indujee to spiritual results,.to lead men to G<Ad, but, like the teaching itself, tliey could find no footing in the sou! of man excejht through spiritual susceptibility in the main himself. We rightly ask for evidence, Abut what evidence, and evidence of what?! We f.av we would believe in Chris jr if only\we could be csnvinced, but convinced howl and believe what about Christ?

There can be no sign (jiven to men who cannot see the sign which Jesus is wo Himself. He authenticates the spiritual boj to us. Seeing Him we must believe in God, or if not how could we be made more J sure of God? Christ is the revealer of the mo Father. He is the 6ign and symbol and bef evidence of God. He is Immanuel, the Sign and Seal of God with us and God for us, the proof of the divine in our midst. There shall he no sign given to this gener- c*ai ation other than that; there can be no hai other. He is the highest sign, end if the a r greater fails how can the lesser convince, _. and as a matter of fact Jesus has con- 1111 vinced the world of God, and is convincing COX the world. Through Him we, too, know " God. By Him we have access to God. In *v. Him we recognize God. For His sake we <( love God. The vision of Him is the vision of God. " This generation thirsteth for a sign. We ro, think it an evidence of our spirituality * ? that we do so thirst, and so we find many modern versions of the demand of the joi Pharisees. Sometimes in the name of " science, sometimes in the name of religion. ^ We can even manufacture' signs when they ? seem to be lacking. Sometimes by emulat- *7 ing the methods of medievalism, "in which the sp-called lives of the saints are flouted jjr, before us. and asking us to believe in the great realities of spiritual life because of some material *ign. Answers to prayer, it/ may be, providences which, however cp- Ch gent to the individual concerned, have little meaning to others, or sometimes we have a recrudescence of the crudest spirit- ( ualism, spirit rapping, table turning, tea- * cup manipulating, after which the devo- roi tees go home feeling that they themselves have been assisting at some act of pro- , found worship, as if the melodramatic vulgarisms of spiritualism could prove any- Stl thing but the folly of the race. Or again, go, we have the same claims appear in a more pretentious garb in Theosophy, or Christian Science, or whatever happens to be the TIU fashionable form of it at the time, where l'Oj esoteric mysteries of some kind are prac- inj tked. The root of all such things is this .y same unspiritual thirst for a sign, after . ' thaumaturgical wonders, faith healing and n(J .other things pretty much on the level of by conjuring tricks. tei Ah, me. All this is a sign in itself, a sign of the weariness and despair and . breakdown of the black materialism of our Dr day to satisfy the heart of man,' but it has Tfl the terrible danger of inducing a worse ,ig; form of materialism still, deceiving the ^ carnal heart by wearing the dress of spiritual religion. How unstable it is we see from the constant swing of the pendulum lai now from atheism and materialism to the jnj most outrageous supernaturalism as in the fase of Mrs. Besant and others, and now an in the opposite direction from ultra-mysti- Tt cism to ultra-rationalism. The cause of bo these seemingly contradictory changes it is ne not far to seek, as both are really based on the same foundation?a wrong conception "n nf njVinf. oniinhial -ia nnrl t.ViArpfnrp nf fin what is true evidence of the spiritual. This generation thirsteth for a sign. There shall be no sign given to it. No sign can be given to an unspiritual generation which would judge ail things by material stand- ' ards, a generation that is blind to the spir- in itual signs of which life is already full. av There can be no voice from heaven to men who are deaf to the heavenly voice of which the whole world is already full; if all the spiritual does not evidence, itself; if wj man will not see God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself; if the sign of the cross cannot convince the stubborn heart and bend it to acknowledge its divine pow- in er. If Jesus Himself is not seen to he His own sign and miracle. His own evidence ^ and proof, there shall be no sign given; there can be no sign given. it "There shall be no sign given unto this do generation." Is that tne last word? lfl that the clang of the closed door in the Jm' face of a seeking soul? "Master, we wouImT see a sign, from Thee." That pitiful o^r t if truly asked., not as by those Ph.irj but craving for spiritual enlightenn?/nt cei and spiritual communion, that pjJr cry by has ever been answered. Never t^ned He ^ away from earnest, sincere, hon^c inquiry , . after light and truth. He ?.!?escends to our weakness when we crrff "Ob, that I frc knew where I mizht find Jam." He meets no us by the way. He matfes our hearts to burn within us as we walk with Him, convincing us of His love, convincing us of oil the path, showing us the path, anu it suf- Tt ficeth us. When the heart thirsts with a 9 , deeper thirst than for a eign, when it . thirsts after the love of God, when the 1 heart and fiesb cry out, He shows us the foi signs of His passion, as with Thomas, "Be- th< hold My hands and My feet." He comforts us. He comforts us with the sign of the cross, and before that wondrous mani- 0 c festation of the eternal love, before that I revelation ofL the Father's heart, we be- j)j lieve and worship, and adore and love, and . we say in penitence and in faith. "My Lord and my Cod." Do we believe? P?1 in "God's Veils." ^ Little Man* had just come from the win- ^ dow with evident pleasure, and sat down on her little stool at her papa's feet. It e(3 was just at sunset, and a most glorious es1 sunset it was. The Western sky was man- gn tied with clouds of the most gorgeous hues, upon which the little girl gazed with thoughtful pleasure. su: "Papa," she said at length, "do vou no: 1 1--1 1 ?.v,?

"No. What do you think of them, Mary?" 2 "I always think they are God's veils, ou; Doesn't He have beautiful veils, papa, Tn, to hide Him from us?" "True enough, - ray little one, thought mi I. The clouds that veil Him from cur ( sight are now beautiful. There is a rain- gy; bow on them if we will see it. They shine g. with mercy and truth." Was that not a pretty thought of little Mary's? Does it not remind you of the 5t time when the veils shall be parted, and He shall come without clouds ami every eye shall see Him? The Cou>fori9 of Religion. ^ There is solid comfort in religion.
