W. S. RAINSFORD; D. D. th sa sii bject: The Love of God?The Christian Church U Placed in Trust l?y G "With the Gospel?Let Un Try to Give pi It to the World. sv Brooklyn*, N. Y. ? The Rev. W. S. linsford, D. D., rector of St. George's P. q( Church, Manhattan, preached at St. ter's Church, State and Bond streets, ^ this borough, at the evening service Sunv. His subject was "The Love of God," jjj d he said: . tli - . . i .. 1I.-1 <1-- tl1 People are saying to-ciay mat me inuau SQ es not occupy as important a place 111 e thoughts of men?that it has not as in- ' ential a place in our nation or in society ^ it used to have. I speak, of course, of q e -whole Christian church, and one thing j* sure and that is that the church cannot cc Id her own by simply asserting, however jjj idly or persistently, the greatness of her eds in the past. Whatever success or m ortcomings there mav have been in an :nt times, one thing is certain, and that j.j, that we live in an age when men almost gc Dlently are seeking the truth: when the .j, enest sort of light is turned in all direc- r0 ins in search of the truth. When those 10 have got anything to do can do it; . ( len those who have got anydiing to say >rth saying can say it, and when those 10 have got anything to be can be it, but ere is no mercy for the sham. When, in . e future, they come to criticise our time .. will evidently be criticised as an age of . iith, and its spirit will be spoken of as ? e spirit of truth; it will be criticised jj' >m all other ages as a time when men , ide great sacrifices for the truth and -p icn great glory was gained in discoverl and obeying the truth. There is no piment among thinkers whatsoever about From this it follows that if we Chrisins have not got something real to give m the world, to society, to the United ^ ates, at this-time we are really going to :o nnr lmld and nosition: and the ques- p >n that we "want to ask ourselves, indiiually and collectively, is this. What tj ve I got to give to the world? What is the church has got to give to the world? ^ am inclined to think, if I were allowed j0 see you, on 2 by one, and ask you to put jc wn what it is on paper: What you as an u, dividual and as a Christian have got to ?( re to the world, and the church as a fe mmunity? there might be a great deal of cj certainty. That this question is one tlmt 0, serves a very clear answer there is no q nbt, and everybody ought to know what c( at answer should be. There is no man- _j r of doubt what the church has got to jj, ;e to the world; what the individual iristian has got to give to the world. I j0 mt to talk about that to-night. > S( We, the Christian Church, are placed in ust by God with the gospel. That is lat we have got to give to the world. If jc * are Christians we believe the world ^ nnot get on without that gospel. We a] e the word gospel in a very slipshod way. q we are Christians we believe that not q ly can not the world do without the gos1, but that business and politics and the sited States democracy in this Western ^ 2miephere cannot do without the gospel, great many people believe that, but len we ask them to put it into practice, t only by going to church, not by putting ^ trifle in the. plate, not by repeating -a ?ed or two, but to go bacs to their work ft| d see if they cannot take the gospel th them there. They say, "Business is g e thing, and religion is another." Men at talk that way nave got to step aside; j; ey are no help either to the church or the >rld. They are misleading; they are the ople that; tend to make the whole thing v'. sham, because the world won't tolerate, * d rightly so, a religion that can confine lelf to certain times, and seasons and that n satisfy itself by obedience to certain nsciences on Sunday, and perhaps once week thrown in. We have got a definite u arge for the world, and that is the gos- j, 1 of Jesus Christ. ti That being so, let me lead you to another o estion, and as I put it 1 shall seek to swer it> What is the gospel of Jesus b irist? Again I think you will agree with !r i, and perhaps more than before. If I n ?re to be allowed to ask the question in- ai ridually, What is the gospei? and ask jr r a definite reply, what a great variety answers would be given; and mr.ny e; >uld hesitate. As Christians we certain- a ought to be able to say what the thing Sj we stand for, or we stand for nothing; a, say what we mean by the gospel, or the n jrld won't believe at all. In a church, if ti > have one great thing in common which w ! all hold, not because we are various its, but because we are Christians, we h ,ve got to find out what that Christian p ing is. Y One of the great difficulties?one chief lc fficulty?is this: That men, from the n ird's own day to the present, in the na- h re of things add their program to the o spel?tack on their programs. We are t; I so made that we must have a program? tl mean our own thinkings about the gos- a' 1. It is right that every believing man d ould have nis own thoughts and theory " to the why, and the how, and the when the gospel. But my idea of why the gos1 was given, my idea as to how the gos1 is given and my idea as to when the spel will be fulfilled is all right. I should C ve that right to think my own thoughts d out these three things, but if I am trying d find light they will be unprofitable, and la would be impossible to stand :n the day;ht and not answer the questions how, rr iv and when. But my how, why and li len. even if I were the most learned and ily of men in the city of New York, b' 3uld not necessarily be the gospel of ni sus. The point for us to agree upon is it the how and why and when, but, What fc the gospel? What is it we have distinct- v in charge for men and have fiot to give f 2n, and about which it is legitimate that ; should say, how, why and when. As I v, the tendency is rather to tack on our e agram, and that is where the difficulties m me in, for in the age in which we live c( ople are rather given to finding out what gospel and what is program. Episcopa,ns uo not believe in the gospel without a shop; the Presbyterians do not believe j the gospel without the Presbytdry; the iptists do not believe in the gospel with- . t baptism, even in the middle of winter . , frozen streets; the Methodists do not ^ lieve without Methodism, and so on. lere is so much program that you can arcely see the gospel. Men say: "I do it know which is gospel and which is ogram." It is absolutely essential that ; are to give something to the world or jj' ; won't amount to anything and the jrld will push us aside. We must be 2n and women proclaiming and trying to _] e by the gospel. [8 What is the gospel? I am going to repeat ' verse that seems to embody the spirit of sus: "God so loved the world that He ' vr> TTi<a r>nl\' ViPTott-pn Son. t'nnf u-lioeo. ? cr believeth in Him should not perish it have everlasting life." The man who rote the gospel of St. John (we do not low who he was) knew the very essence p( the gospel, and I think everybody agrees n( th him?the Presbyterian, the "Baptist, sr e Methodist, the Episopalian?everybody jj lieves that it is the very heart of the w spel of Jesus. That is the very essence aj the dear Lord's love and life and teach- 0, g. It is what He began to preach, went at to preach, died to preach and rose j0 ain to preach. That verse says three things. First, a Jod loved the world." You say: "I know " No, you don't know it. It is a tre?ndo\is thing to know. You say: "I beve it." I hope so, but it is a very hard ing to believe. "God loved the Avorld." lat docs not mean, God loves me; God res the United States (we Americans act . if that was what Ave profoundly beved). "God loved the world" does not t ?an the elect, "me and my wife, my son ? ihn and his wife; we four, no more, 1: ien." Not the people we like, but the q athen Chinee. It does not mean simply at God made this world?that is wonder1?but. the gospel says the world is not nply a law world, but it is a love world. ,1, any man says it is easy to believe, he ? es not know much about it. If you lose e wkom you love better than yourIf it is not easy to believe it is a love >rld. When some bitter trouble comes, len pain racks your body, when the one tc ing you lived, for is taken away, in the et ur of trouble and toil anc' pain it is not m sy to get up and say: "I will be a man a ter the heart of Jesus Christ, for I be- Li ve that God loves the world; it is a love P< > (1." R r do not believe there is one mother or ther that has had experience, who does it know it is not easy to believe at times at God loves the world. But it is the spel, the great gospel of Jesus Christ. The second thing is this: "God so loved e world that He gave"?what is the mesge of Jesus Christ about God giving? It nply means that God does not superinnd "the world at a distance, like the old reek idea of cods set up there in Olymis, where the waters are cool and the air j ;eet, and there i? shade from the burning j n and all that the world need? to gratify | ie senses. That is the Grecian idea of j od. It is not my idea of God at all. We ill think of God on His throne, not veiling down here. As Tennyson says: \ god into whose nostrils the stc-am of j e hardly comes." God is not away above j ie world; not superintending the world j mew here outside the world, but the idea , God is right there where His children ' e. Where they suffer, God is; where j ley rejoice, God is; where life is sweet, j od is: where love is. God is. "God so j ved the world that He gave." Nothing j ists like giving. A mother gives her babe 1 ' ie. but it costs her much. We give our i , lildren the best we have. We give them j lr pain, the result of hours of toil; we 1 ve and are glad to give because we love | ' lem. I say: "What wi!! you give for your j I m?" You say: "I am not talking about ! . lose things: it is sacrilege: S will give all I r my son." There is not a mother in 1 lis church who would not give her life for ?r daughter. There is not a decent man . this church who would not give his last 1 *- .1)A j ? ju.ir to save nis uuv ? mc u> uvuv. ould give his hand, his life, to make the \ )y what he ought to be. "God so loved , le world that He gave"? How did God . ve? I do not know. How could God feel J lin? I do not know. How could He en- ] ire? I do not know. But it is the gospel : Jesus Christ: "God so loved?He gave." ] hen I can go out into the world, and it is 1 Dt so hard to give. I do not want to suck le world like an orange. I know every sw a.td then temptation says: "Get that veet thing. But life is giving, not takig." That means pain, toil, disappoint- ; ent?it may be, death. "God so loved? 1 lat He gave." Then I begin to under- j and. If the God and Father of Jesus 1 hrist is giving, cannot I give? Cannot ( iat boy, who is thinking only of a good me, begin to give? I remember, long ago, ( i the old study at home making up mv lind what my life was going to be. I 1 nged to be a soldier and follow in the ' lotsteps of my forbears, but it Hashed I pon me that I only wanted just to have ! )od time, and I prayed God for grace to ad a useful life. _ We have got to make I l loice between giving life and getting life? I le is the worldly life and the other is the i hristian life. The whole purpose of God < >mes out in giving. God Himself is a ! ver: "God so loved the world that He , ive." The third thought: First, the world is a ive world; second, love is not simply >mething looking down, but something inwelling here with us, giving His only bestten Son. What is third? Love victor- j ius. The love of God is not simply a beau- , ful, patient pain, a universal thing, but ' a almighty thing. Back of the love of I od is all mighty, all wisdom, all resource, j od that made the world is the God that , tys, "Shall not perish." He says whoso- , rer believeth shall not perish. Not the ero, the great, the wise, the strong, but J le whole world of inen. If there is any- j ling in me that is worth living, God will eep my life; if nothing, I do not want to e kept alive. I can go on working, trying * ) love, trying to be patient and true, and t last I can go to sleep, for "God so loved ( io world that He gave His only begotten on that whosoever believeth in Him light not perish, but have everlasting fe." Universal life. Now, that you have Dt. It is the church's heritage for the orld,^ Let us try to give it, for the world ants it to-day just as badly as it did nine:en hundred years ago. What a Rrcatn Tanyht Him. . There is a legend told of a young .-an , ho was ever discontented and ever combining of his lot. but whose life was en- I rely transformed through the influence j f a dream. In this dream he was carried into a j eautiful country. After driving for liles and miles, he stopped before a magificent palace.

The building was of enormous size, eov- I ring "vvitli its wings, fully a squar<; mile, ! nd everything was on a scale of rare j dendor. Stepping to one side of the pal- I ce. his eyes rested on a dark brown j iche, small, but in such a striking consist to the palace that he asked the guide hat it meant. Image the young man's surprise when e said: "The fault is yours. This is the alace Beautiful, and this is your niche, 'ou have been unhappy because of your iwly station in life, and since you could j ot have a position of prominence, you ave spent your time discontented, while thers have been improving their time and ilcnts. It rests upon you alone to make lis place perfect." The young man ivoke, saw the lesson taught by the ream, and set to work to marbleize hia brown niche." ? I Good Home Mission Story. A good story was told at the Bible hristian missionary meeting held in Lon* on. A Salvation Army lass was beating a rum in the market place of a certain vil,ge. The vicar came out and protested. Are you obliged to beat that drum? It lakes such a horrid noise, and I do so diske it!" "Are you obliged to ring your church ell on Sundays?" asked the girl. "It takes such a noise, and I don't like it." "Oh, but." he rejoined, "that's very dif;rent; the bell seems to say to the people: /Ome! Come!' that's why I like it." j "Well, sir," the Salvation las* rejoined, I like my drum, because it seems to be lying about the people: 'Fetch 'em, fetch m!'"

God's Work Goes On. <- . , In the most disastrous periods of the lurch there have always been some (a sven thousand, perhaps), who have not *' owed the knee to Baal. Ministers may ive become corrupt; churches may have sen infected with unholy leaven; the i ch and the learned may have been unannous in their rejection of everything ex> :pt the mere superficialities of religion; id yet it will be found that God, who lines the blood of His beloved Son too ighl.v to let it remain inoperative, has lised His altar in individual hearts. In le dwellings of the poor, in solitary laces, in the recesses of valleys and mountins, he has written His name upon re?nerated minds; and the incense of their loration, remote from public notice, naa | )ne silently up to heaven.?T.
