The following 1 sermon, entitled "The Attractiveness and , Exclusiveness of Jesus/' was preached ] here on a recent Sunday by the Rev. T. x Campbell Morgan, D. D- He took for his j text: "Then said-Jesus unto His disciples; ! if any man will come after Me let him 1 deny himself and take up his^ eros6 and follow Me.?St. Matthew 16:24: i'*" There were two facts about Jesus Christ | * - ? > -- A *!.? 1 wmca no one can ic?u me vtusyti ictords without recognizing; facts which appear to be contradictory, but which, as a matter of fact, are complementary, and the understanding of which reveals for all time the method of the Master in dealing with men. I refer to facts of the attractiveness and exclusiveness of 1 Jesus. ^ \. There can be r.o questron-jiVboutrthe":, former; there can equally be no question about the latter to these who have carefully read the records and have seen^ the methods of Jesus while He was here among men. He was constantly drawing people to Him, and He was perpetually ndJdiag them, aloof. By t^ie very winsomencse of His person, He was ; drawing men and women of all sorts and'"conditions, at all times and in all ^places to Himself, and yet by the uttering of words 80 severe, so searching, so drastic, making us tremble even to-day, He held men back from Him. I venture to say that the words I read to you this morning from the Gospel, of Luke come to those who are most familiar with them bringing a sense of surprise. We never read* tnem'without feeling more or less startled by them ?"Unless you hate father and mother, husband and wife, parent and child, you cannot be My disciple * We have attempted to account for these words, but I do not hesitate to saythat in some senses they have staggered the faith of many, and'yet there they Btand. ? And not there only, but through all His teaching there is evident the same method of Christ, that of holding men back just as they were approaching Him; drawing them to Himself by multitudes and tnen holding the crowd as thev * pressed upon Him, and sifting them with 4 such surprising words as these. Now there must be a reason for this, ana it is for that reason that I want to look, with you, a little this morning. ^ But first allow me to say a few words on this fact of the attractiveness of Jesus, because the more clearly we recognise ana understand that, the more clearly shall ' we understand, as I think, the other truth of His perpetual method ofv holding men back an&^exobiaing' certain persons from close 'companionship with Himself. Take first, then- this great fact of His attractiveness, the most fascinating subject on which to speak. Remember, I pray, you, that.tf the Gospel records reveal one thing more clearly than another they reveal that Jesus was, somehow or other, a tPerson that drew men to Him irresistibly. I go back to those silent years at Nazareth* concerning which we know so very . little. You will remember that on those .days Luke opens for us jusi a little wonv doTf. through which we look t.Then he says, "He was subject to His parents, and grew in favor with God and with man." I do not stop ,one moment to duell on the statement that He grew in favor with God, although. it is a very interesting statement, bufcjnst for a moment, for the sake jof our argument, listen to the other part of it: "He" grew in favor with man." * Take that as it is simply stated, and you at once see a picture of the boy growing up to be a youth, and passing fiom youth into young manhood utftil He btcame the Carpenter of Nazereth, known to all the. little town that nestled among the hills, just removed from the highways of life. This is all the truth that is revealed. If 1 may reverently put it, Jesus was ? favorite in Nazareth, lam not sure that that doesn't almost startle you, because sonr-ehow or other we have come to think that holiness is almost always accompanied by angularity, and there is a popular idea that if a man is good he never can be a favorite. It is a great mistake. It is by the measure in which a man lacks holiness that a man is not in favor. * Here is a man living in Nazereth, and He.is a favorite. I do not want to lift that into a super-spiritual realm, but if you have no imagination you can just go to sleep for two minutes while I imagine I look into that window and I see the Carpenter at His work, and I tell you what I see. He is a favorite. I see children taking their toys to Him to be mended, and I am quite sure He mended them. I see young men going at eventide to take their problems with them because they know He is sane, honest and pure. I think I see old men, upon whose brow already "sat light that never was 'on land or sea, talking to Him because He has such a wonderful way of talking about ''My Father's house" and "the many mansions;" a favorite, sane and strong, and pure, and attractive as to personality. I know full well that a little later, on these same men took Him to a hill apd tried to murder Him, but that was the result of something else to be discovered later. The pure, human, simple life, of Jesus wa% in -itself, attractive, and Luke eays, "He grew in favor." ' Leave those hidden years and look at Him just f<a* one rapid moment as, He treads the pathway upon which a fiercer light falls than,..ever fell upon a throw;? the pathway of the public teacher, and if you read these Gospel "stories the one thing that strikes vou is the fact of the roMtiever He went they followed Him. If He went out into the city the country people crowded the stree&s to be near Hj[m; ii He went out into the country place the city men and women flocked after Him, following Him so far fb?t at times-there was -no chance for them to provide themselves with food, andtHe baa-,to feed them; for in their eacfernass to follow they had forgotten food and had forgotten distance. -nrViorpvpr TTp wpnf. tlipv rame after Him. I am not saying, that these multitudes crowned Him; that is not my point, but He drew the neople after Him. The one thing they could, not do with Jesus was to let Him alone; they came, whether to criticise Him or crown Him is not now the question; the point is, that He drew men r:r.d women after Him in all those days ofHis earthly life. They came after Him. all sorts and conditions of men, the scholars and the illiterate, the learned and the ignorant, the debased, the depraved, they all came. Of course, there were more poor people came than rich because there always were more poor people than there are rich, and, of course, there were more of the illiterate than of the iearned for the self-same reason, but I protest against this idea that Christ only attracted a class. There is something about Him that attracts all kinds of men, and it is true in those old days. Come, if you will, outside'the Bible, and from the day that this Man walked among men fn Judea until now there has never been so attractive a personality in human history as Jesus. And I want to say this superlative thing about Christ. No century, whatever its peculiarity, or quality, or quantity, has produced any person who was so popular as Jesus Christ. He has always towered above His fellows, above those historical personages that the centuries look back to, or to those imaginative vezseuages that the centuries give to us in 'V.-. ;.r.j > iteratore.? -Jeras has- teen" the" most* at*" ~ tractive personage always. I come to this very hour. Who, is the nost attractive personality'in the "world at chis hour? Let me take a narrower circle. Who is the most attractive personality in England at this hour?." ! answer without * . ;ear 01, contradiction?uesus t-onsi.. I am not saying that the majority of people have yet crowned Him. Let me take my illustration to the lowest level. Can you think of any person in history, dead or alive, or any person in imaginative literature, that will be talked of, and thought of, and sung of, and discussed, and criticised, and abused and crowned as Jesus Christ? There is not a single theatre in Manchester or London that can run Shakespeare's plays continually'." ! am clad you look ignorant, and'can assure you r don't speak frorn any inside knowledge, but every one knows it fo belrufC There is not a single theatre that can exist without variety. There must be change; some other genius than Shakespeare must be 1 3 1 ?roi! forthcoming. -f\na yet, wim au uu? , about the decadence of the church and the I failure of Christianity, every Sunday in I Manchester more people are gathered together to sing the old hymns and hear the I old. sermons?I beg your pardon, to hear sermons on the old texts?and listen to the-Qld, old story of the cross than for any other purpose. * * Let us begin with the last. When Christ was as fond of a phrase as He evidently was _o?. that phrase 'Tallow Me." there must 'be some deen signification in it. I have been going through my New Testament during the last few months^ tracing Chat phrase. It has been a ;vcry interesting study to see how constantly Christ used it. It was the almost perpetual formula of His call to individual soul?"Fol- I low Me!" Now what is it to follow? Two things I are involved. Neither of them covers all the ground, taken .alone.' Both are required. First, to follow, I must trust. I shall never follow any one I haven't confidence in.' I may trust and yet not follow. Secondly, not only is trust necessary, but obedience is necessary. Christ confronts the individual soul, bringing that soul out from the crowd, as He is calling some man here this morning. He says, "Would you trust Me? Then obey Me." How am I going to do it? What does it mean, this trusting and obeying? "Deny yourself, take up the cross " It seems to me that is the point which must be observed first, that to deny self is the only way in which you can follow Christ. How shall I follow Him? Deny thyself! The two things are intimately related, and it seems to me that everything ig said when "Follow Me" ig said, and yet?it is necessary to say the other in order to understand what He means hv following Him. What is it Christ calls me to?" To deny myself! Not to practice self-denial; that is a very cheap business, but to deny self? a very costly matter. He says, "Deny yourself. Listen no longer to the call of your self, but listen to My call. Don't con- ; sider any more whether this thing will ! minister to your pleasure or to your ag- ! grandieement, or answer the cry of your i *mb?tion. But Me first." Christ say** ' "Deny yourself and follow Me. Put Me on the tnrone and dethrone yourself. Don't let the question of the morning be, What shall I.like to dot but What will Christ have me do; not Will this pay mi, but will it hasten the coming of the kingdom of God. Don't let the underlying, mastering passion of your life be your own selfish desire; crown Me, follow Me." It is a superlative cail, and the call o* Jesus is always imperial. He will brook no division of your loyalty, and that is what He means. "You lpust hate father, mother, wife, child. That means that when the soul comes into contact with Me J must be ' absolutely first." Let me stop here to say j that whenever a. soul does that he gets ! back a hundredfold lands and fields and J mother aijd father and childrep. ?Jesua Christ said. He must, be first, and He has : neve* lowered that standard, and the re- j ligion that is simply an addendUih is worth ! nothing to Him. Jesus Christ comes and sfe%?, "Deny yourself," but there is the other word, : "Tsfce up the cross."' Well, what is it? I Chris t's cross? No. No man {jan carry j Christ's cross. What then? Your own. | What is this cross? I don't think that it i is ever the same in two persons. The i cross is that in your life which immediate- ' ly costs you something if * you crown Christ. There is a business man here this j morning who is saying in his heart, "Well, j if that is Christianity, I -will have to go home and change my method of business." i That is your cross. There is a young man'j here says that, "If that is Christianity, if j it means putting Christ first, then I will j have to go home and give up that compan- ! ionship. That is your cross. Some one J here savg, "If that is what Christ means, j that I am not to listen to the call of my i own life, I shall have to go home and say I was wrong and confess my wrong to i those to whom it is so hard to confess it." ; That is your cross. And somebody else , says, -"If that is Christianity I shall have j to go back on my history, throw up ev'ery- : thing I am doing and go into the ministry. That is your cross. You know what your cross it. Don't let I *- V 1 I any one come ana ass me. xuu miiua<, thing which right in front of you this j morning challenges your allegiance to Jesus Christ. You cannot play tricks with God. You cannot deceive your own conscience when you stand in the clear light of the call of Christ. He says, "Deny yourself; take up that cross (and you know what it , is) ana follow Me." But why are Christ's terms so drastic? J For-two reasons. First, no man ever gets j to Christ but bv the way of the enthrone- ! merit of Jesus Christ. It is possible to ad- ; mire and cheer Him, possible to patronize Him and never to know Him. It is not the crowd that gets to Him, but the cross- 1 bearing soul. And if you read on you will | say, "Whosoever would save, his life shall lost it; whosoever will lose bis life for My sake shall find it." j Christ confronts the soul and says virtu- j ally this: "You don't understand your own | life, dear heart." You cannot realize your own kingdom. You cannot build your own j character and carve out your own destiny, i but I* can do it, though I can only do it when you have put Me absolutely on the j throne for your own life's life. For its founding aud ennobling and developing -j you must come to Me, and by the way ot j a whole-hearted surrender." I But there is another reason why Christ J makes His terms drastic. He wants men j and women upon whom He can depend in j the day of battle. I am quite sure there i is"nothing Jesus Christ wants at this mo- I mcnt so much as men and women who '.rill go through darkness and death for Him. j You remember that picture of Jairus be- ! seeching Jesus to save his..child who was i dying, and how, with the people thronging j about Him, the Master ^suddeply ex- I claimed, "Who touched Me?" I v??. w. ?s fce ancry with the dis- 1 XI V?? UV41 v> w ciples. We should have said the same thing. "A hundred people have touched | you in the last five minutes. The multitude throng Thee and press Thee, and sayest Thou, who touched Mf?" j But Jesus .Christ alwaxs knows the difference between the crush of a curioys mob and the touch of a needy soul that j has come near Him. And this morning as 1 this service closes I hear- His voice speak- j ing once again?the attractive Christ that has drawn this crowd ? this exclusive Christ?and He says: "Who touched Me?" We have all jostled Him this morning. YVe have all looked into His face again. We have all had a new consciousness of the infinite music of His voice. Have you got anything out of Him? Has any virtue healed you this morning? If not, even now stretch out your hand and touch Hinr. And to do that you must deny yourself, j crucify your pride. Having done that, lis- j ten to the cry of your own.life,, and listen to His imperial call and crown Him Lord I of all. i 7Z.}ji ' ' " - * ,< . - . r: ~ - 'H4P T.o'.c.iyg up?; Bntftred A^oAlet Trcim Kidney Dlncrrdem Until Cared by Uaan's Kidney.

Doctors and scientists have been urging foi some time the claim that the cat was an unclean thing and the scatterer of diseases. '"It is a bit* cheering in this waste of pessimism to turn to the following .in the London Mail, "iifdefense of the cat: The most fastidious mammals in matters' of the toilet are to be . found among the members of the cat family, as all must have noticed in domestic tabbies. The rough tongue makes an excellent brush, while the sharp claws are on occasion employed by way cf combs, all these invaluable aids to cleanliness and smartness possessing the further advantage of always being at hand when required. A healthy cat is not only clean, but finical, not to say vain, about her (or his) personal appearance. And moral degeneration in pussy i$. accompanied fcy neglefct of personal grooming.
