New York City.?The following tcrmon entitled, "Stoning Jesus," tras preached bv the great evangeiiat, the Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, from the test: "Then the Jews took up stones .-.tain to atone Hint." John x: 31. The shining of the sun produces two effects in the world, one exactly the opposite of the other. In, one placc it enlivens. beautifies and strengthens; in the others it deadens, mars and decays. 80 it is with the Gospel of Christ. It is unto some a "savor of life unto life;" unto others it is "a savor of deeth unto death." So it was with the coming of Christ into the world. He brought to light the truest affection and the deepest hatred. Men loved darkness, atlier than light, so Christ's comin^fnto the world could only disturb them. If you go into the woods on a summer's day, and if it be possible, turn over one of the Jogs which may be near to yo;i. will find underneath hundreds of - ? .1? i:_u? little insects; toe moment iac nnim ?iik9 theui they run in every direction. Darkness in their life; they natc the light. But if you journey a little further and lift a stone, which for a little time ha? been covering the grass or the little flowers, the moment you would lift the obstruction these things would begin to grow. The light is their life; they die in the darkness. Christ's coning into the world provoked the bitterest prejudice and called forth the deepest devotion. Simeon, a devout roan, was in the temple when the young child .Tesus was brought in. and he took Him np in his hands and blessed God. and said. "Lord, lettest now Thv servant depart in peace, according to l*by word, for now my eyes have seen Thy salvation." It was just the opposite with Her-id. When the king heard concerning Tesus he sent the wise men that he might I fuH out through them where He was, I *! ?? <tifi not return, he was ex- I ceoding wroth, and sent forth and slew aM the children that were in Bethlehem <nd in all the coast thereof two ream and under, according to the time which be had diligently inquired of the wise men. These are the two extremes. John'* gospel is the gospel of lore, but in it we find the same great differences. Where can you find such swectne** as is contained in these words?"For God so loved the world that He gave His only becotten Ron. that whosever belicveth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life?" Where is there 6ach tenderness ss in this expression?"Jesus wept?" Only two words, and yet on them the sorrowing world rests, taking comfort and consolation! But where can vou find such hatred as expressed in John viii.: 59, "Then took tbey up stones to ca<t ct Him?" und again in the text. "Th^n the .Tew? took up stones again to stone Him?" When you remember whom they were toning, the Son of Mm and the Son of God. the One who wa? going about doing good, the din is something awful to think nhnnt Thia ami th#? ver*e that fol lows in a beautiful illustration of hate And love, brutality and tenderness. He had just said. "I and mv Father are one." word* which ahouid hare made the hearts of the neoplc leap for joy; that He was one with Jehovah, who had led their forefathers from Egypt to G-ianan; who had spoken the worlds into existence; had held the winds in His fists: in whose hands the seas washed to and fro. You would have thought at these expressions of the Master every knee would have been bowed in loving devotion; but not so. The Jews took un the stones again with which to stone Him. and He gave them one of the tend*rest answers His heart could dictate?"Many qood works have I shojvn you from M^* Father, for which of tbc?e do you stone Me?" The text is an illustration of the fact that those who were models in fairness of their treatment of men are most unfair in their treatment of Jesus Christ. If you are familiar with the mode of stoning offenders in the early days, you will be able to see bow true this was of the Jews. The crier marched before the roan who <> A\* nrrvlaimirnr the man's ains and the ramp of the witness** appearing gainst him. This was for the humane purpose ot enabling any one who waa acquainted with the circumstances in the cato to go forward and speak for him. and the prisoner waa held until the new evidence was civen. But the Jews were not so considerate of .Tesue; when He said. "I and My Father are one,'' immediately they began to stone Him. All that is asked for our religion, for Christ and for the Bi'ole is just a fair consideration of their claims. The Bible, we claim, i# the word of God. not because it is old onlr, but because it is both old and tiue. It seems as if it vrrre written for u? as individual*; it is my present answer to my present need. We simply present the Book in evidence. Suppose you try to find its enual; suppose yoc try to produce its simplest parable; failure would be the result. Oar religion is the same; we only ask for it a fair consideration. For Christ it is just the same. In England not long ago a woman was leclnrincr aminst our religion. ::nd after she had cloned, one of fno mill-hand* paid. "I would like to ask the torturer thin one question: Thirty yearn n?o I wan the ciiw of this town and even-body in it. I tried to do better and failed. The teetotaler got hold of me. and I signed the p'edee and broke it. The police took me and sent me to prinon. and the wardens tried to make me better, and I be?ran lo drink as roon as I left my cell. When all had failed. I took Chrixt an my Savior, and He made a n?*w nan of me. I am a member of the church, a clasn-leadcr and stiperintendent of the Sundav-^chool. If Christ in a myth and religion in untrue, how could I be so helped by them?" Men are still stoning .Testis Thrift. Perhaps you nhrink from the conduct of the Jews and cry, "For shame'" hut there i? a warie way to stone Him than that. Men can hurt vou far more than by striking jest in the face or biatinj; yon with tripes. Do you imajrine that Christ's worst suffering was when they cant s'oncs at Him. or sconrgcd Hiin. or put nails through His hinds? I am sure not. br.t it wan rather when H<* cam** unto Ilin own. and Hi* own received Him not: when they called Him "thin follow:" when He was in fiethnemane in an arony; when He wan on the conn and He felt ro forsaken that His heart broke. If He were ho*e to-dav in the flenh as He is in the Spirit. I am sure there are ways we could hurt Him more than by taking nn ntnn?v? jr.*>*n mc vrv suw and easting them in Hi* blessed fa"'1 until His eye* were blinded l?y the blood drops falling down. JXCOX8T8TEXCT. I. Have you ever noticed the sadnr^s which throbbed in the word* of our Savior at the Last Supper. "One of ynu shall betray me?" or when He wa* walking with them toward the garden, ".All of you shall he offended this night because of Me?" or when lie was in the ga.-den and we hear Him saying: "What, could you not watch with Me one hour?" The stone that hurts Christ most is not the one that is cart by the unlielieving world; He expert" that; it is the one that is ? ? * Kw Hid nu-n utnnltfv ftiiil her#? i<i nnlr one stone that they can cant at Him, and that im the one of inconsixtenry to talk one way and live another, confessing with the lip* and denying in the walk. You never took a *tep in the wrong direction but it->g^a stone cast at Christ. I have heard . paling tady who was engages! in the greatest amount of pleasure and fri>'olitv. nearly forgetful of her loyalty to Chri?t. Due day being asked by her companion* to go-to a certain place, she refuted on the ground that it wan Communion Sunday in the church. In amazement her friends a*ked her, "Are you a commimi"ant?" If the worid doc* not know it, if oar friends do not know it. we nr- taking up stones with which to stone Him. HATRED. II. On the part of those who arc not Hin folic wore, vrith some it is nbxnlute hatred; certainly it was so with the Jews. You read in the text that they took up Umm* again. The first time ite read of tMy atoning Christ is in the1 eighth chap-I.?Kn and it is saDDOsed that thev E'near * place wbere VtonM abounded, I it vu rery euy to pick them op. I 1 ! The second time they were near Solo* non's porch; and it is a question if there wei"* Any stone* there to he found. .So it ia thought that they carried them al! the way. perhaps only dropping them as they listened to Hi* speech, by which they were no enraged that they stooped and picked them up and hurled them at Him. Are yoa casting these stones at Christ? Remember that He said, "He that is not with Me ia against Mc." IND1FFEIUESCE. II!. Wiih many it is the stone of indifferrnre. It van one ot the ; .-st cast at Him in the world. It began at the manger. going to th? cross, and it is still being thrown. With curling lips and insolent contempt men said. "Ia this not the carpenter's son?" When He was on the cross, they said in derision. '"He saved others; now let Him save Himself." It ia now the ninth hour and darkness is settled about the nlace. Listen! His livs are moving: "E!oi! Eloi!" Surely th?a will move them: but some one says, "He ia calling for Klias; let us see if he will come to Htm." This is all like the gathering of a sto*m to me: tirst the cloud was the size of a man't hand, that if, at llcthlehem; it is larger at Egypt; heavier at Nazareth; darker in Jerusalem; then He comes up to the Mount of Olives, and the cloud seems to break as He cries out, "Oh! Jerusalem. Jerusalem!" ti?_ i.? * ?? Ajti > c yvu uccu muiiivi tnv iv vui ivb* Anything is better than that; better outspoken opposition to Him than to be theoretirJly a believer and to be practically deriving llim. How can you be indifferent to ftim? A man working on one of the railroads in the State of Indiana discovered, one morning, that the bridge had fallen, and be remembered that the train was due. He started down the track to meet her. saw her coining, and, raising his.hand*, pointed to the bridge, but on she came, having no time to lose. He threw himself across the track.' and the engineer, thinking him a madman, stopped the train. The man arose and told nis storv and saved the lives of hundreds. Christ did this for you ; He purchased your redemption by the giving of Himself whether vou have accepted this salvation or not. Will vou stone Him lor that? rXBET.lEF. IV. When He said: "l ana mj ramer are one." they cast another stone &t Him. That was unbelief. Indiflrrence was hard to bear; hatred cot like a knife, bat unbelief was the crowning sin of the Jews. Many are hurling it at Him to-day. He has promised to save us if we only beiicve, r.nd we need on!/ to trust Him to be raved. A little girl in Glasgow who had just fennd peace was heard counseling one of her plavmates in this way: "1 say. latsic. do ns I did, grip a promise and hold on to it, and yon will be saved." and there is salvation in the child's words. Now read the verse that immediately follows the test: "Many good works have I shewed you from My Father: for which of those works do you stone Me?" It is Bupposcd that some of the Jews had actually struck Him with a stone, and this dr.w forth urom Him words tender enough, pathetic enough to turn aside the hatred oI one who had a heart of stone.

Oh, that we might have oar eyes open to behold Him! 2. Fiftv years ago there was a war in India with England. On one occasion several English officers were taken prisoners; nmong them was one man named Baird. On? of the indian officers brought fetters to put on them all. Baird had been sorely wounded and was suffering from his weaknets. A gray-haired officer said, "You will not put chains on that man, surely?" The answer was, "I have just as many fetters as prisoners, and they must, all be worn." Then said the old hero, "Put two pairs on me" Baird lived to gain his freedom, bat the other man went down to his death doubly chained. But what if he had worn the fetters of all in the prison, and what if volutariiy he had left a palace to wear chains, io suffer the stripes and endure the agony? That would be a poor illustration of all that Christ has done for yon and for me. Will you stone Him for that? 3. Because of what He is to-day. in 1517 there was a great riot in London, in which houses were sacked and a general insurrection reigned; guns in the tower were thundering against the insar^rnts and armed bands were assailing them on every side. Three hundred were arrested, tried and hanged; five hundred were cast into orison, and were to be tried before the king. Henry VIIJ. As be sat in state on the throne the door opened and in tlicy came, every man with a rope about hi* neck. Before sentence could bs fussed on tbern three queens entered, Catherine of Aragon, wife of the king; Margaret of Scotland, Hitter of the kins, and Mary of France. They apr> oarhed the throne, knelt at the feet of His Majesty and there remained pleading until tne king forgave the lite hundred trembling men. But fhcie is a better intercession than that going on for you and for me at this moment. Will you stone Him for that? Looking out from the windows of henren the ixm of God beheld people heavily burdened. bearing the weight of their sins, groping about in their Dlindnesa, crying, "Peace! peace!" and there was no peace. And He said, "I will go down and become bone of their bone ana flesh of their flesh; I will open their eyes and bear their burdens, forgive their sins and give thera peace." Between man nnd the Father's house was a great gulf, wider than the disnnmf (A Wftef Kan Ka vaiiw l I Will VOflV ?u ?IVO?, MW |/Vi ?M?H *? distance from north to south. bat Christ's com in? bridged the gu'.f over.

Listen ! you will hear Him saying, "Come unto Me, come unto Me, v/hoeocver will. let him come." Will you stono Him for that? Scolding anil Admonishing. These are by no meaus equivalent terms, nor can they rightly stand for the same necessary nnd disagreeable duty. Scolding is never a duty. It is a form of sclf-indu(> gence. It never accomplishes good and it w one of the ways in which even kindly disposed people put sand on the bearings of life's machinery and pull back when they desire the work to go forward. The difference is between a ncet.s#ary means of instructing others and a safety valve for one's own vexation or irritation. We scold to please ourselves?to relieve our mind*, as the faying is. We admonish with a view to the efficiency of the work for which we are responsible and for the improvement of our subordinate workers. The two in motive, and usually in cffcct, nwtm AU fnr nnnrt na t tut nn!f?a Th?P(t if never a right time to scoid. There must often be times when we arc required to call attention to the faults or carelessness of others. We ought to be reluctant to admonish, but we should watch diligently lest we speak word* of rebuke for the mere gratification of our own feelings, for that is one of the cruel forms of selfishness. When we admonish we should do so delib ratolly, with careful study of the justice of our words and of the appropriateness of the occasion. It is a means of help; it should be as private and e kindly as possible. Use imagination to put yourself in the place of the admonished one and ask how the fault-finding and suggestion may be made most effective for good.?Congregationalist. A Win P??cr.
