William* Urgns C? to Sp?nd t Our Few l?rief Vcjm Fighting Sin and t Serving.Mnn Until We I'hsk to the Great C Beyond?An Uplifting Discourse. Brooklyn. X. Y.?The Rev. T. Rhond- f da Williams, pastor of the (ireen.ield Congregational Church, Bradford. England, ) preached in Plymouth Church Sunday t ""wnino There was a large audience. c The Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis intro- f duced Mr. Williams. Earnest attention f was given to his thoughtful sermon. The f subject was "Life's Yield to the Mora! t Conqueror." and the text was from passages in the Apocalypse. Mr. Williams i said: <j Each one of the messages to the churches f of Asia closes with a promise. They con- t tain threats and warnings ami command- j ments. but at the close stands the promise r like a distant hill in sunshine, seen T through the storm, to lure on ever the worst-beaten to the better things of God u and man. The messages lay down the ? moral task without compromise, but they a close with the assurance that c "The toppling crags of duty scaled c Arc close upon the shining tablelands. ' To which our God Himself is moon and *' sun." c There is here a twofold aspect of life j, which even- morally earnest man is ac- c quainted with. He knows that its conditious arc stern, that there is vigor in it. a but he knows also that the vigor is blended v with tenderness, that all its struggle i? v permeated by promise. We might indeed r say that moral earnestness and hopeful- t ness go togther. Stand loyally under the s bower of duty, and you will hear the bird K of hope sing. Unfaithfulness to the moral (j ideal breeds pessimism of the worst kind; 9 fidelity, while it does not encourage cheap 0 and lightsome optimism, does inscribe in the heart of the blackest duty the shining . word of the coming time. God has so made i: us that enfolded* in the bosom of loyally 1! lies the assurance of triumph for the good. ' Now, it is this loyalty to the good, this fidelity to the moral ideal, this persevering a attitude, which I take to be indicated in v the word "overcoming" or "eonqtigring." 11 Every promise is made to him who "over- v cometh" or who "conquers." Not. mark v you, to h'm who has overcome, or who has E conquered in any full or iinal sense. These T promises are not of gifts to he bestowed 4 nt the end of the course, but of experiences a to be realized in going on. so long as you ' go on in the right way. Now. is it a fact? : for it is r.o use preaching theories away 1 from the facts of life?that the promises r. made to those Asian churches in the name 5 of Christ, sent to them by John as direct s from Christ, are tri bp regarded as promises c made to ns bv (jod? For myse'f I can- * not regard them so. except so far as * they contain trr.tbs attested bv the exper- v ience of men. Indeed, the messages given a to the churches of Asia are not entirely ' from Christ as He was, not from Christ as [ we understand Him to-day. but f'-om c Christ us John understood Him. When we, read tlie promises of the tnoral life we t read not only the facts of our moral experience. but also a certain interpretation i given bv more than one bias, such as the c personal bias or the national bias. The fu- < ture wc depict mav be in essence guaran- I teed by the universal laws of the moral s life, but the depiction may bear personal r or national co'ors. which must fade; per- r ' sonal and national elements which must * be eliminated. John was .a Christian, but t he was also a Jew. Like every man. lit* 1 had a temperament, both the nationality < and the personality would affect his vision s of the future. Our Christ never takes ab- c solute and full possession of us, our very < best understanding of Nim has some mix- \ ture of ourselves in it, which is not in Him. 1 1 "To him that overcometh and keepeth f My word will I give power ovpr the na- s tions, and he shall rule them with a rod of 1 iron, as the vessels of a potter s l.all be i ' broken to shivers, even as I received of t > My Father." Here are words attributed 1 to Jesus which none of us would like to f think of Him as speaking. We could not find in Jesus any promise of authority over nations to rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter are broken I to shivers; nor do we think of Him as 1 claiming to have received such from His Father. That is not our way of thinking of Christ to-dav. Then how did John come to hear Christ sar that? Because John bad been reared in the atmosphere and fed unon the sentiments of Psalm ii. Hi3 Jewish teachers hau taught him to regard Psalm ii as Messianic. And what was the Messiah to do? Tho Lord raid to Him. "Ask of Me and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shs't break them with a rod l of iron; thon shalt dash them, to pieces . like a potter's vessel." Some Jews enmec times believed that that was one of the r things the Messiah would do. When .a l Jew came to believe that Jestts was the l Measfah you wou'd think that he would at least throw off that old notion. Jesus u.j aai/4 "C^rr,? nntn W? *11 ve that labor 1 , and are henry laden." etc. "I am meek of I heart, l?wrlv." "Pleased are the meek," < ' etc. "Other eheek." etc. The general . character and teaching of Jesus was the \ I very opposite of the Psalm ii conception of 1 Messiah. Yet the Jew who believed that < Jesus was the Messiah carried over with < him a good deal of the old national con- ' I reption and attributed it to Jesus. That ( ' is what John does here. It was not Jesus \ speaking, but his own nationalism that ( was representing Jesus. This is not very \ surprising when you remember that Chris- i tians even vet take the Psalm ii to refer ( to Jesus. Nothing could be more unlike < Jesus of Narareth than the description of ( the Messiah in Psalm ii. It is high time to protest, as Ohevne does, against the habit , of "finding Christ" in passages "unrelated , to Christ and His religion." "I fear," ^ says Csnon Cheyne, "that our unmiti- , gated adoption of the Psalter as it stands , may counteract that spirit of love which is one-half of Christianity." The fear is too i well founded. What did the great St. B-rnard say long ago regarding the wars of the Crusades upon the Mohammedans? J These are his words: "They are ministers ( of God to inflict His vengeance. For them ( , to give or receive rieatn is not a sin, dui a most glorious deed; the Son of God delights to receive the blood of His enemies. > He is glorified in the death of the pagans." It is most astounding that Jesus could have been conceived as the incarnation of God's redeeming purpose and love and yet ss One who could delight in the blood of His enemies. The Messianic interpretation of many psalms undoubtedly tends to undermine the value of the revelation of God in Christ. In a Christian magazine of some time ago one article is entitled "The 'Tenderness of Jesus" and the next is "The Imprecatory Psalms Vindicated." I always maintain that there is a severity in the law of life, that divine love is not softness, nor mercy a license to indulgence; pain, suffering, retribution are here; there was a severity in Jesus because Jesus was true to life's law. but the Spirit of Jesus was not the spirit of the imprecatory psalms, and the Messiah of many psalms is quite unlike our Christ. So far as we ' are under their influence we need to ex- 1 covite ourselves and clear our vision. But this promise is colored not only by < John's nationalism, but possibly also by < certain traits of his personal character. It was John who eaw a man casting out devils in Jesus' name and forbade him, because he did not follow with them?there was a strong party spirit in him. John was one of two who wanted the chief < places in the kingdom. He, too. wanted to i tall fire from heaven upon the Samaritans. '1 he portrait of John in most people's minds, as the loving disciple, rests upon i the Christ's Gospel and the Epistles, but < the temper sometimes displayed in the < V * \pooalvpse fits with the indications of the lynontic gospels. What does the man-who is ".nthfiil find? IVhat does he get to feel sure of? }Te inds the very best there is in life. He astes life at its best, ''I will give him to -* <%.a? Af in tii^ n.ira 'ill Ui UJC tirt \>i iitt,. ? .v ... .... a li.sc of God." There is a very common nodon that though goodness may I < a safe rack to some far-off eelestian city it a onsiderable sacrifice of the content of "fe lere and now.

The successful strn-cle conitantlv discovers sunports hidden from iiT> before, snd still hidden from lives vhich do not know tb? loftier reaches and he more earnest endeavors What does <fe yield to the v>tor? TIere is one of the inest of the promises: "I will give him the norning star." What is this gift of the norning star? It is the fec'ing ths* life is weet end pure, fair and fresh with the ouch of morning. It is the feeling that ife is full of promise, that day is coming >n; that the best is yet to be. It is the lower to lie oneself a sweetening, freshenng influence in the world, a living proihccy of its betterment. Now, friends, here is nothing like moral ourity to keep he touch of morning on life: compromise our morality and it 1- marvelous how soon verything is stale. There is an indeseribihle sweetness in the air of early morning vhen the world is as God makes it: when t is indeed ?n the process of His remaking icfore wo light our fire9 and emit our unoke and heat up the du?t of our noisy, nrhulent liFe. Something like that sweet Veshness of morning belongs to the soul hat is pure and conies to it always in its lonr of victory over sin. As long as your iffections are clean they are fresh: you lever tire of pure feelings or holy loves. Again, what does the mora1 victor find? ft is nromued that Christ will write upon iiim God's name and the name of God's ::ty, and his own new name, m our innmage this means that life yield* the victor the consciousness that he really belongs Lo God: that he belongs to the new so;iety; that he belongs to Christ. In other words. the spiritual universe owns him, :nd he knows himself as a vital rart of it. ?ven as a pillar in the temple of God, an upholder of the sacred things of life: one nf those who have a real permanent life in the sanctuary, among the sanctities of God?yea. who share the spiritual sovereignty of life with God, with Christ and with all the pood: "He shall sit with Me an My throne," etc. Oh, you who are fighting sin, take courage; with everv triumph yon are mounting the steps of the throne of God. and ever aearing the time when vour life shall be fixed in the truth which knows no turning, ind the righteousness which is forever. Lay hold on the thought of God as your Helper, and believe that if you wofk with Him all will be well. I invite you to no superficial ontimism that has never sounded the depths of life's woe. nor seen into the hearts of its tragedy. There is no power and no healing in that. I heard it once riven out from a Christian platform. It denounced gloominers of every kind: it dashed the pessimists in every direction; it declared that all things were going on exceedingly well; even the slums were not ?o bad as some made out, and the war in smith Africa?well, it would come to an end some time. So mur-h of this was dealt out that I felt that such optimism was the shallowest of lies, and that to ventilate it in the name of Christianity was to forget the tragedy jf Gethsemane an^ to blot out the memory of the cross. No, no; if you are to be \ serious man, in earnest for the highest ends of life, for yourself and for society, you have a battle to fight; a hard, utern battle; a hundred things are wrong with the world, which,you must help to put right. Look the evil in the face and do not call it light. But when you have done that, I ask you to realize a larger fact, viz., that the Alpha and Omega of all this life is the love of the good God. Because that is the beginning, that is also the end, and let it, therefore, be our "Hope a sun will pierce The thickest cloud earth ever stretched, That after last shall come the first, Tho' a wide compass round be fetched." With that thought of God let us spend aur few brief years fighting sin and serving man, till we pass "to where beyond these voices there is peace." Now unto the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, be glory and dominion forever and ever. ^ The Pharmaceutical Era is Inveighing against the multiplication of drug stores, which, it says, forces the proprietors to sell cameras, stationery, m( cigars, books, soda water and other fa< things entirely foreign to the business D0 to make a living. wJ In sixty years the annual per capita consumption of whiskey has gradually T* decreased from two and a half to one and a fourth gallons.
