S50TO A PRINCE BEAUTIFUL GUI KI611AR WEEKLY SERMON TbtOfMhMly RtUgMw Life U* to tlM EaHyMMt d IN Otorlw Btyoai Xkw Yak Citt.? Fifth Atcbm Pm? byterian Church, which is ? very hrg* building, mi filled in every uut Sunday morning to hear the Rev. Hugh Black. M.A.. (?ocittc of Dr. White in the Frw Ht. (leotw't Church. Edinburgh. (Scotland. Mr. Black had for hia subject "Jeans Ilia Own Sign and Miracle." The test waa from Matthew xii:38: "Then certain of the MTibea and of the Pharieee* answered, saying: Master, we would sec a sign from Thee. But He answered and said unto them, An evil 'and adulterous generation aseketh after a sign; and there shall no sign he given to it. bat the aign of the pro l>bet Jonas." Mr. Black ssid: We gather from its source, as coming from the Pharisees, that thia question had a malicious purpose to underaiiqe the Au thority of the new Teacher* with thVpio-^ pie by asking from llim what He could not or would not perform, but from the liistorical < on nee t ion in which the evan gelists place it the purpose was not only malicious, but almost lnsultinc. Our F*ord had been in the pursuit of His beneficent. I healing ministry, had cured many suffering 1 mea and women, and the Pharisees' cxpla- { nation was that He had power from ait evil source; He did it, they asserted, by ' virtue of His connection with Beelzebub, 1 the prince of devils. And now. ufter this ? explanation of the signs and wonders < Jesus did among men. tney camc with the ' insulting question, "Master, we would ?*c t a sign from Thee." Wnat sort of a sign did they want, and what sort of evidence ! could convince thein if they could ottrib- I ute llis healing ministry to diabolic art* . The veiled insult of the demand is the J supercilious passing over of all He hud I been and of itil He had done, as if it did j not count and as if He must now begin to i do something of sufficient magnitude t* 1 convince them that His pretensions were j trustworthy. How there is a demand for cvidenee , which is legitimate, evidence which is necessary for the highest faith, hut in this case, apart from the hypocrisy of the que#- J lion, there underlay a wrong conception of revelation and a wrong conception of tlioj nature and the place of miracles. T7icy~: wanted Chrirl to oerfonn rome prodigy, as if a piece ??r wonder-working could be real evidence of spiritual things; her.ee. our lord's rebuke. It is a religious rebuke. Cjlod should be recognized for what He is, and the recognition of Him should not )>e dependent upon external t*igns. which iu tliemsclvca, after nil. have no spiritual sig nificance. Christ's feeling ns regards this is ceen through a graphic touch recorded by St. Mark, who writes that when the Pharisees came seeking u* sign from llim .legus 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 nnug on prodi gies and on miraclc-mongeriug of any kind# "There shall no sigu be given unto thi* generation." This attitude of our Lord, notice, is not contradictory to the value He elsewhere pla-.-ed on mirnc!cs as evi dence. He pointed, you remember, to His deeds of inercy to authenticate His claims when, as in the case of John tue Baptist, there was a sincere desire to know the marks of the Messiah, but His miracles were moral acts to educate and to reveal, not to surprise and to astonish. He knew from sud experience that it was possible for men to believe in the reality of miracles and at the same time lose all its true evi dential force, even to useribe it to evil powers hs the Pharisees did. "There shall lie no sign given to curios- j it)- mongers." There can be no sign given | to those who imagine that the spiritual can lie proved by the material. Mere won- ! ?ler working in no evidence of the thin?,-s | whica Jchus came to tench the worhl. Men are not to be led to God. then or now ? I men arc not to be led tq^Uod, in the sense I that Jesus meant? by displays ard conjur- 1 ing trick*. 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 possi- | ble to us in many ways and forms. We j make the same mistake, for example, when I we think that faith in God would be easier to us if only some fiortent were vouch- ' safed to u?; it" only we could see some phy sical evidence, especially designed to con vince us. We fall into the Pharisees' 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 j linger into the print of the nails. To understand Christ's nt tit udc on this i question we need to "nave our minds dis- | abused of the idea that a mere uiiraclc in j the sense prodigy w ever evidence of . spiritual things. Some miracles are signs j indeed, but only when there is spiritual : evidence in them; that is, when they are | uiorc than mere wonder-working, which I the Pharisee* here desired. For example. | our Lord's healing ministry was a gre.it snd constant sign of the love of God, car- i rying a revelation with af truly as any lov- ! iug word of the Master evtr did. Tbis lets light in upon the true way in which to ? view t!>e whole question. Out fcord'i inir? J ftciefl cannot lie seprt rated ir own (he great revelations of His whole life and teach ing. His words ty?d His works are co-re lated: the miracles are no', to be looked on as, isolated exhibition* of power, but. as themselves contributing to the revelation. They were not signs, but vehicles of teach ing. They are not signs externally at tached 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 di vine power; they did not evidence the teaching, they themselves sre the teach ing. They are parables in action instead of in words, moral and spiritual in their effect, not evidential ot all, except by the way. 1'hey sre an integral fiart of the rev elation of the love of God in Christ Jesut our Lord. They have an essential place in the whole round of the Christian revela tion ns fruits? fruit* of the pity of God. as manifestations of the divir.o love umf I wisdom; they arc part of the manifesta tion of Christ; they sre not guarantee* of] His message an ti e Pharisees here niesnt^ them, but part of the message itself, as i much evidence* of God'a love as His ?ra eioua, tender words are or ever could lie. therefore Christ's miracles are never to be conceived of as mere displays of power. He persistently refused from frst f? Jr.'. to work wonders to make men believe. It ia not that tlic demand for evidence i? tvrwa, it i* A naltiial demand that proof onould l?c je'ven of Ml claims. but we must make sure what really is evidence.

Or again, .re have the same claims api*r.r in a ir.o"e jretentious garb in Theoaopiiy. or Chris tian Science, or whatever happens to lie the fashionable form of it at the time, where j esoteric mysteries of some kind are prac ticed. The root of all such things is this I same unspiritual thirst for a sign, after thauraaturgical wonders, faith healing and j ithcr things pretty much on (lie level of ; injuring tricks. Ah, me. All this is a sign in its?lf. a lign of tho wearinesa ana -despair and breakdown of the black materialism of our , ? ay to aatisfy the heart of man, but it has 1 the terrible danger of inducing a worse form of materialism atill, deceiving the carnal heart by wearing the drew of spirit i nal religion.

One of the strangest nights ever seen by spertsmen was witnessed the other day on the duck puss owned by Uri iJiraprey ot St. Paul. Mr. Lamprey and a friend had been shooting for some "me when thsj observed a flock of ducks coming along from the north. The ducks were blue-wtnged teals and at their head was a wh!te bird. "That's queer," said Mr. Lamprey; "I'll take the white blri and see what it is." Both sportsmen fired, both bringing down their bird. Upon examination it was found that the leader of tite ducks was a tame white pigeon. If anyone has ever before seen a flock of ducks led by a white pigeon it is time for him to rise and say so.
