LIFE'S LIMITATIONSI
OUR REGULAR SUNDAY SERMON
Rev. Dr. Otho Bartholond Discusses
Things we Can and Things we Can
not Accomplish.
Brooklyn. N. Y.-Dr. Otho F. Barth
(low. pa tor of the Janes M. E. Church.
preached Suuday on *The Limitations
of Life." The text was chosen from
Colossians iv:18: -Rcmember my
bonds." Dr. Bartholow ,aid:
It is hard to conceive how the glow
ing and compreheiv -..tements of
the first three chai.ters of Paul's Epis
tle '.o the Coi Ians could be rein
'orced. Each sentence is so full of
divine truth, it fairly overflows with
Its lChrisay abr-dan -. Yet with the
words of our text Paul - id most posi
tively and b -utif ill:- reinforce every
other sPntence of tliS intensely spir
itual epistle. He did it in that charmi
ingly inferentiai way that added the
warmth of the heart to the purely
logical statements of the mind. In writ
ing to the Colossians of Christ's divin
ity and of the comp'ete and joyous
loyalty every soul should render to
Him, Paul in the few words of our text
delicately refers to the example found
in his own experience. "Remember
my bonds." This was an infusion of
experience to all tlie preceding pre
cepts that developed an incalculable
force in that unlimited element of
sympathy which were at once opera
tive.
Paul had no intention of glorifying
himself or his sufferings, neither did
he sentimentally long for human cum
fort. This very brief allusion to him
self in our text was but to strengthen
and confirm that feeling which would
exalt and glorify Christ Jesus the Lord.
What Christian in Colosse could have
read or heard Paul's letter and not
have felt when he came to the words.
'"Remember my bonds," this man
writes out of life's experience and of
what he knows-not like so many of
the religionists and philosophers of
that time out of his imaginations'and
dreams.
Yet another inference is contained in
out text. It is that which emphasizes
the fact of life's limitation. In writ
ing his advices and directions to the
Colossians Paul did the very best his
position would allow him to do. He
wished and prayed to do more. Thaet
more was to be with them in person,
to give them all that he felt nos in
personal effort for Christ ana His
kingdom. Over against this wish.
this desire. this prayer, was his physi
cal imprisonment-a limitation. Pau;
was chained. The things he would do
he could not do.
The fact of life's limitation, its rec
ognition and resolution are suggestively
presented In these words of the heart.
The fact of limitation is apparent
everywhere. in everything and every
person. Go to the uttermost bound
aries of space-to the sun and stars.
limitations are there. their boundaries
are fixed that they cannot pass. Grav
itation, chemical affinity and other
agents of law bind them with invisi
ble chains to their limits. As with
these mighty spheres, so with the tini
est atom; the plane of activity and ex
pression is fixed. The reign of law
marks insuperable barriers.
In persons as well as in things the
fact of limitation is stritingly mani
fest. The body in which we live is
clearly confined in bonds. Each body
has an amount of nervous and muscu
lar energy which limits all that may
be received or given. The bonds of
place and heredity bind each man to a
very narrow zone of physical and
mental activity. That a man is what
he eats and where he lives is a certain
degree mar ifestly true.
The spiritual in man is limited in
all its expression and life by the pres
ence of the carnal. Paul's pathetic
cry: "O, wretehed man that I am;
who shall deliver im.e from the body of
this deathY' is applicable to all the
children of Adam's race. These dis
tinctions are the marks of a general
limitation, the bonds that all men in
their investigations and experience
must remember because they are of
themselves. Within the general limit
ations there are special and personal
limitations. Mental endowments, dis
position, heal2d and grace are largely
~.determinative in establisbing the indi
idual bonds that cannot be passed.
The iiervou.s prostrations, the brain
fag, the strokes of apoplexy, the creep
ing lassitudes that seize so many of our
bright and energetic people are In a
great majori*- of instances but evi
_deuces of failure to know or remamber
the physical and mental limitations
to which life is conditioned.
Failure to record and recognize per
sonal limitations and to be directed by
them causes not only lapse and disas
ter in our service to Christ, but oft-.
times the essential breaking of the
moral law. Our fathers were accus
toried to keep the commandments, to
worship God and reverence His day
by preparing hours in advance for that
most solemn and imperative duty.
Saturday preparation of body and spir
it was, in the thought of our Put'itan
ancestors, essential to the real keep
ing of those commandments that en
force our duty to God. They had a
fine recognition of the limitations in
herent in the body. Their preparation
for the Lord's day was a "remembrance
of bonds." It is only the fashion in
these progressive days to ridicule the
religious practices of these fathers of
our country. With all of which ridi
cule we have no sympathy, continuing
to believe that our g'ip on God, for
tloyalty to Christ and His law they
continue to be the most Inspiring and
helpful examples. They certainly shed
a helpful light concerning the meeting
of limitations in the keeping of those
commandments that refer to God and
His day.
They made religion a life and found
delight in it, largely because they re
membered their limitations. They re
fused to rob God by allowing the
'worlid and its activities to so rush in
upon them during six days that there
was nothing for the Sabbath but physi
cal weariness and dullness. In yet
another relation it is Imperative that
we remember our own and others' lim
itations. In relation to others we
should be quick to ask: Are we un
derstood and do we understand?
-Believing fully that nyery man Is
more than anything he does or says,
we are led to believe that all avenues
of expression and reception are to a
degree limited and incomplete-"are
in bonds." Every man has in him a
best and a worst, neither of which
fairly represents him, Many, however,
are to them final f mn their experi
ence of one or the other phase of life.
WVhen i read Cardinal Newman's
"Lead, Kindly Light." I think of a
htabe harae.On etheother had
when I read his bigoted and narrow
estimate of .rius. especially his state
nment "that a publisher of heresy
4 meaning, of course, anything contrary
to his religious denomination), should
be tr-eater as if he were embodied
evil." I think naturally of a narrow,
very evident inat any fair estimate
the cardinal Us a character cannet' I
obtained from either or both of the:
writings. He had his limitations. ThE
must be remembered. Not until thE
are estimated .an there be a substal
tial understanding of t.e person bac
of the utterances.
But are we understood? We. to
commonly a.>sume thr we are. Thin]
ing we fully understand wuat we se
and mean, we naturally infer th,
others 0o. But do taey? "Oh, tI
trouble, the heartaches, the disastei
and the deaths- to happiness and pea<
that have come to this old world sir
ply because people have not understoc
one another." exclaims the writer <
an hundred years ago. Human n;
ture has naturally changed since th:
day. An appeal to experience mu:
convince even the most ruperficial o1
server that this is deeply true, evc
in the everyday experience of life. A
kno.wledging .he fact or i.nitation ar
realizing its force in life, we find ti

it carried into places where the metal of
t our religion is tried. Temptation is
- part of the divine scheme. The devil
n is under the control of God. Open the
e- page of history where you will and
.d you ca'n hardly find the story of any
e great, noble soul, that has not had its
a hour' of battle with the powers of dark
ness. "Of the spirit." Luke says He
s. was "full of the Holy Chost:" Mark
a says, "The spirit driveth Him." A di
L). vine influence led Him on. "Into the
p- wilderness." Tradition has fixed upon
ts a highi ridge called Quarantania, near
sl Jericho. "To be tempted." Christ be

: to stretch out. to Try the strength of.
e- Temptation is the testing of a perzon.
LA The three temptations of Christ were
>r typical ones,. comipreleiding all the
to forms of tenptati)n by which human T
to nature can be assailed. They cover
.n the sanme ground as "the lust of the
iesh, the lust of the eyes, and the
a pride of Ife" C1 .John 2:16). "The dev- f
td fl." "Diabolos." always in :the singu
it lar and with the definite article.

t- In each case .Jesus answered and de- t
0- feated Satan by a proper use of the
ie word of God. A mian who has scrip

11 to fight the devil with. "Not live by

The order of the temptations is differ
W en: in Lluke, but this is immaterial, as
id tlierec is no statement that insists on
:hi any particular order. 5. -Taketh
w Him." So far as the necessities of the r
[e trial required. yet with no power of
n- violence or con::aminlation,. our Lord's
s. person was in his hand. How else did
Id Satan take Him to the temple's sum
n- mit or to the mountain top? "'Into the
e holy city." Whedon believes that His
yr person was transported "with the
it quicknless of a thought. so that He is
e. not to be conceived as on His way at
e, any intermediate point." There seems
little reason to doubt that .lesus actr.-r
te ally went with Satan to the pinnfacie t
ig of the temple. "Pinuacle." Probably
in the royal porch built by Herod, over
id looking the Cedron.
[e G. 'If Thou hie." etc. Satan presses
th his point. In His tiirst reply to the
te devil .zesus had shown His unbounded
ts confidence in God. Now satan takes
>f Him at that very poinit and assumes
.t- that if Hie did not east Himself down
>f it wouid show that He lacked faith in
nl God and that Is claim to divine Son
ig shin was unfounded. "Cast Thyself
U- down." Show your faith in God.
a.- All the world will wornder at so grand
st an exploit. P'rove at once that You

In Psalm 91:11. 32. The devil has a

e This was a temuptation to presumph1
r. tion. 7. "It is waritten again." In
d Deut. (;:16. There is always danger in
te using isolated texts. One text ex
0. plains arid modilies another. Tihe Bible
l. is often perverted by wiked men.
re "Not tempt." To tempt God is to put
Him to the proof-to demnandl evidence
- 01' His power and of His will to fulfil
to His promnises, instead of' waiting pa
tiently and trustinig. This is mani
festly wrong. The first temptation ap
pealed to the animal appetites. This
1s one rises to the higher sentiment, the
re love of show-the gratification of ad
Imiration.

te 8. "Exceeding high mountain." Some

it The root of the third temuptation lay in
s- the supposition that the king;doms of
1o the world were the devil's kingdoms
s- and that lie could dispose of thetm. 9.
ig "All--give Thee." By this Satan evi
10 dently meant that he would withdraw a
lo his opposition to Christ and make Him
7.a gre!at earthly ruler. "If - worship

:h true :char'acter. Christ was tempted to '
>r idolatry, which :is the root of all evil.

Another Case of Tumor Cured

Dear Mrs. Pinkham-:
"About three years ago I ha intenwS2

headaches. The doctor prescribed fer: me,
but finding that I did not get any better hi
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
I had a tumor.

and was very disheartened. I spent hundreds
ot dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
ans operation would save me. Fortunately.I
corresponudd- with my aunt in one of the New
Engand tates,who adisedmeto Lydia

mitting to an operation, I at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
grteat relief that my general health began to
improvei, and after three months I noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept
on tkirig the C=_'pdurid, i&id in ten months
it bai entirely disappeared without an oper
atior, nud using no medicine but Lydia E.
Pinkhadnts Vegetable Compound. and words
