This is Christianity's frit invita
tion to the world. ,. It applies the test
of universal religon. For the test of
Univeral- religion is not in the num
Zers of those who accept it, but in the
Varieties of men and women who ac
cept it, and whose needs it meets and
atsfies. This invitation has been
accep-el by every kind and condition
of mn and women throughout the
whole of the human race, and every
type of character, every circumstance
of need has responded to this invita
Abon. The men and women who have
accepted have found the rest for
4heir souls which Chrst promised.
Bt I am not going to preach to-night
apon this text. Millions of gracious
sermons have been preached upon it
-and millions of souls have been won
.4 the rest promised. I have one
lurpose only in repeating the words
at the outset, and that is that you
anay use them, not as a text to ex
pound but as a motto of that which is
to follow, for I purpose to speak
about a conspicuous figure in the
-world of letters who has accepted this
invltation of Christianity and found
rest for his doubting, wondering, in
quiring mind, rest for his turbulent
spirit; and he has written a book tell
ing us how he found his way to Chris
Unulty and to the rest tha.t Chris
Vanity offers.
The man is Mr. Chesterton. His
books are freeiy on sale in this coun
try and he occupies a very conspic
vious place in English literary life.
The book is called "Orthodoxy." It is
a story-autographical-of. the way
2o which he brings himself to the ac
-eeptance of Christianity. The style
ta all his own. He is the supreme
mauster of paradox among living men
Mhe wide world over. His purpose is
to take any statement about any mor
:Sal thing and show that universally
the contrary is true. If, for instance,
I say that the doctrine of original sin
In gloomy and depressing his method
s to show that the doctrine of orig
Inal sin is universally the most brac
Ing and most invigorating and ex
biUarating that the mind of man can
-onceve. 'That is the man's way, and
hm has attained to enormous influence
-and his books to enormous sale by
working this paradoxical method. It
-does not follow because I call your
attention to this book that I am com
mending it unreservedly, but the
value of the book is that it stimulastes
thought. It sets you thinking about
the deepest and highest things, and
imany things deeply suggestive and
Ielpful to spiritual life. In one sense
At Is a corrective of that very curious
ftgrained temper of our day which
lannehes every now and then an en
tirely new and original gospel that is
going to supersede all other gospels

of all possible worlds.* He found a'n-,
other objection that it has made man
wel and that Christianity took 41
the.virlity, all the manhood out of
us, and another-that Christianity had
deluged the nations with blood. I13
Christianity, he asks, a religion of
me,ekness and mildness, or of mur
der and cassacre? It may be one-or
the other, but It cannot b both -at
the i'ame'time.
You remember .the humorous.poerm
by John Godfrey Saxel about the tour
blind Hindus who went to see an
elephant.-, They could ot see the ele
phant, but they said what they had
seen. One happened to lean against
the elephant- -and -declared it was
much -like a wall. Another got hold
of his taH and described him as being
like a rope. Another got Wis trunk
and said he was a serpent, and the
fourth ran against his tusk and said
he was shaped very much like a spear.
The fact is that they had not seen the
elephant at all. That is all. And
that Is my sermon. The objectoras
have never seen Christianity at all;
they have' never understood' Chris
tianity at all. They have seen mere
fragments-the ta l or ear of the
elephant-but they have not -seemL
Christianity and know not what it t..
The difficulties of religion are
great, but the diffiulties of unbeliefd
are Infinitely greater. It not not true
that Christianity in Its fullness t a.
simple thing that anybody can grasp
in two minutes. There are difficulties,
and perplexities, but the difculte
and perplexities and problema in
which you Involve yourself h tha.
rejection of Christianity are far great
er than thoseinvolved in its accept
ance. I could present hal a dozen,
I will present one: It: unbelief has
stated the case truly to us, Jesus
Christ was only a peasant -boy, a car
penter and a tanatic for religion, w1ho
laned xn an obscure pa t t the ltes
man empire and died r a brminal
after three years of agitation. That
is all. And yet Christianity,, the most
tremendous and colossal fact In the
world, has all grown out of that!
