A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. DR. H. C- SWENTZEL :Snl>jcct: Tli? Divinity of Christianity. Brooklyn, N. Y.?For the first of a series of sermons on "The Religion of Jesus Christ." the Rev. Dr. Henry C. Swentzel, rector of St. Luke's Church. Clinton avenue, near Fulton street, preached Sunday on "The Divinity of Christianity." The text was from I Timothy i:ll: "The Glorious Gospel of the Blessed God." Dr. Swentzel said in the course of his sermon: Christianity shows the credentials of divinity. It is not a set of doctrines and principles which men or even the best of them have invented, but it professes to come directly from the infinite Jehovah Himself. It is not simply one among the world's religions. It stands alone and is unique In the manner and method of its origin. It was not whispered into the ear of a seer by the Almighty; it is not the result of visions; it is not the product of learning and piety. It comes directly from the infinite God, who actually adopted human nature in order that He might talk with mankind face to face. It is immeasurably more divine than the religion of Moses and the prophets because it was delivered personally by the incarnate Lord Himself. The tt-ViTTck fr??nfc nrA nf filiph lUCiJJCC> Vi nuivu AAV . ? . ? ? -? tremendous moment that any solution of them ought to be carefully scrutinized. Who and what is God? Who and -what is man? What is the true ideal for the present? What is the outlook for the future? What of immortality and heaven? To these interrogatories the Lord speaks with tones of infallibility -which popes and synods have not dared to initiate or even to claim. The author of the Sermon on the Mount was the eternal Son of God and His religion is nothiug less than "the glorious gospel of the blessed God." To say that Jesus of Nazareth is a divine Being is not synonymous with the error which calls Him a divine man. There have been many divine men?men who had a mission and a message l'rom the Most High, men who were called to lead humanity to better and nobler things; sons of men who were filled with God's spirit, and counted not their life dear if it were spent in His service, prophets of reform, prophets of liberty, prophets of philosophy or literature or art. In the hall of fame stand the images of the vast army of divine souls who have been the champions of God's cause and the captains of His hosts in every clime. In a far loftier sense, in a literal sense which warrants no jugglery of words and no legerdemain of metaphysics, was Jesus Christ, God's Son, His only Son. The Christian Scriptures propose this sublime truth which should be hailed -with universal acclaim. It is constantly assumed in the four gospels, even as it * m xu-x IUa..mU TTA was uy innisen, iiitti, uiuu$u uc ??o born of the Virgin Mary, He was still, in the later language of the Nicene Creed, "God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God." In one way or another Our Lord declared His divinity time and again. He made Himself God's equal with such plainness that even His enemies could not mistake it. They accused Him of sacrilege so strongly that they .wrung from Him the well-remembered reply: "Say ye to Him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world. Thou blasphemer, because I said I am the Son of God?" It is true that He loved to speak of Himself as "the Son of Man," but that title really was His assertion of deity. He might have been a son of man without being a divine personage, but He could not be truly the son of man unless He were, more than all, the Son of God. It is no wonder than when the people beheld His moral perfection and saw His works and listened to the truths as they seemed to come from the mouth of God, they asked, "Who is this Son of Man?" The record of the memorable interview, which has often been conspicuous in the church's regard, should not lightly be put aside. The Lord said to His disciples, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? Whom say ye that I am?" Then it was that Simon Peter made the great confession, "Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God." In advance of His birth the archangel gave this assurance to the Virgin Mother, "That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." And when the end came and Jesus iuid breathed out His life on the CalvaVy cross, the words of the Roman Centurion were a fitting finale for the record of His mortal career, "Truly this man .was the Son of God." The divinity of the Founder of Christianity justifies the certitude of His disciples. This absolute certitude should be appreciated. We should willingly take the Lord at His word. And yet He does not demand that the disciples shall enslave themselves?He who came to make them free, to give them "the liberty of the glory of the children of God." That liberty is surely not a dead letter. The Divine Master would not put shackles on the human intellect. He does not dis vruuia&e un? v;uuaa vuiiani wuiiij. u.13dains to consider the present or to look for a golden age in the future. If He be heard aright He will stimulate thought and investigation. Better than ourselves did He know that the real advancement of the multitudes is in harmony with His plans and that the period of the finest piety will be a time of the greatest enlightenment. The divinity of Christ should not be treated as a brutum filmen. ltather is it a truth?a fact?which should steady and hold Christian people amid the growth of ideas and the struggle of theories. Whatever truths may be discovered, whatever thinkers may say or print, whatever conclusions may ensue in the intellectual world, the Christian religion is forever true, because it is nothing less than "the glorious gospel of the blessed God." It is on this basis that the honest doubter may take his stand. Doubts are not necessarily sinful. People who never think will never doubt. It could scarcely be expected that Christianity would not cause intellectual disturbances. It has to do largely with mysteries incomprehensible and unfathomable. It presents doctrines which it is not always easy to reconcile even with the best ideals of good men. Ordinarily people have poor training for such exalted spiritual conceptions as are presented by the Son of Mary. We are schooled to earthly things, circumstances assign most of our time and energy to temporal occupations; we live in a world of sense, and the constant tendency is to say that the only things that are worth while are the things which are seen. There are doubts which proceed from pride and conceit; there are people who are convinced that it is time to oittott fm-nrt n rolifrinn whif?h was instituted nearly 2000 years ago; there are those who are seriously persuaded that they know entirely too much for them to consent to accept the Gospel of Bethlehem and Calvary, the Holy Sepulchre and the Mount of Olives. Of course they deny our platform?they say that Jesus was no! the Sou of God. To us who believe i# the Lord's divinity there is this sure refuse, this safe hiding place from the storms. When doubts arise, although I we should do our best to dispose of them, we should remember every moment in the face of mysteries and contradictions'and of alleged offenses against the intellect that the Founder of Christianity could have made no mistake becau.'se He wa3 the Son of God. Christianity is divine because of the divinity of the Founder, and it is because of this divinity that Christianity has endured thus long and all changes and connections and progress shall survive until the end of time. One of the many tokens of its heavenly character is that it has confronted all the powers of darkness and has carried the day in every struggle and on every field. From the outset an effort has been made to banish it from the face of the earth. More than once has it appeared that "the glorious Gospel of the Blessed God" might possibly be obliterated; but somehow after each battle the banners of the cross have waved in triumph and God's truth ha9 won. Does any one inquire respecting the outcome? does any one cry out "Watchman, what of the night?" The answer is Victory, a better Christen? n nnror r^lifrinn. UUUi, a UVUiVA VUU4VU| u JJW. Vk Let the winds blow and the waves roar; let the powers of evil and error do their worst; let the advance and achievements of the future surpass a thousandfold the knowledge and conquests of the past. Christianity will abide with ever increasing glory, for it is founded on a rock, and that rock is the Incarnate Son of God. Justice Reigns Sapreme. In this God's-world, with its wildwhirling eddies and mad foam-oceans, where men and nations perish as if without law, and judgment for an unjust thing is sternly delayed, dost thou think that there is, therefore, no justice? It is what the fool hath said in his heart. It is what the wise, in all times, were wise because they denied, and knew forever not to be. I tell thee again, there is nothing else but justice. One strong thing I and here below: the just thing, the true thing. My friend, if thou hadst. all the artillery of Woolwich trundling at thy back in support of an unjust thing, and infinite bonfires visibly waiting ahead of thee to blaze centuries long for thy victory on behalf of it, I would advise thee to call halt, to fling down thy baton and say, "In God's name, No!" ?Thomas Carlyle. The Hidden 8in. A majestic tree fell at its prime?fell on a calm evening, when there was scarcely a breath of air stirring. It had withstood a century of storms and now was broken off by a zephyr. The secret was disclosed at its falling. A boy's hatchet had been struck into it when it was a tender sapling. The wound had bee? grown over and hidden away unde* exuberant life, but it had never healed. There at the heart of the tree it stayed, a spot of decay, ever eating a little farther and deeper into the trunk, until at last the tree was rotted through and fell of its own weight when it seemed to be at its best. So do many lives fall when they seem to be at their strongest because some sin or fault of youth has left its wounding and consequent weakness at the heart.?Dr. J. R. Miller. God'g Doable Purpose. God manifestly has a double purpose in view in bestowing blessings upon an individual, namely, the good of tne individual and the larger and wider benefits that others may receive through the individual. To Abraham He said, "Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee." It is an experimental fact that men are enriched in the best things by imparting them to others. So it is that graces are enriched by leading others into gracious ways of living. So it is that character is improved by the work of character building 'in others, and truth more securely and deeply rooted in us by teaching it to others. To shut up one's gifts and hide one's light is to impoverish and darken one's own soul. ?Examiner. True Prayer Is a Striving. The way to heaven is upward. No one can travel it without effort. Men do not stumble into heaven nor drift into righteousness and true holiness. Everyone who repents and is converted and enters upon the way of life lias a fixed purpose, a definite aim, * ? * ? /vPTn^f +/-* van1S?o ana perseveres iu iiia cumi. ^ his desire. It is impossible to pray aright without steady and sustained effort. True prayer lays a strain on the mind wnich many are not willing to endure. But if we ever see the King in His beauty we must conquer our tendency to faint, and persevere in prayer. '"Strive to enter in at the strait gate."?Christian Advocate. Be in Earnest. There are many human forces that make for accomplishment, and the greatest of these is earnestness. Enthusiasm is the flash; earnestness the steady glow. It is that quality which shines through and glorifies the simplest deeds and plainest words. Earnestness improves where all else is powerless. If you are in earnest, ideas will develop, plans and methods will suggest themselves and results will follow. No one can work earnestly unless he is a downright believer in^the object for which he is working, and willing to back it against the world.?Selected and Adapted. Show Love. Why should we not be a little more affectionate with one another? One does not have to live long in the world to find that love is the best thing iu it.

A Man and a Lion, Traveling in the interior of East Africa, an Englishman, Mr. Charles Bulpeft. tells the following thrilling incident?which took place at a spot about 500 miles inland from Mombasa ?in a letter to a friend in England: "The narrowest escape I have had was from a lion about a month ago. I went into the thick thorn bush after him, which was rather mad. But he would not come out, and I was determined to get him. He charged me when the bush was all in his favor. I knocked him over with two bullets, but still he came on, and I had nothing for it but to run. "When I knocked him over with the second barrel he was within a yard of me. He made a grab at me, and with a prodigious effort I managed to jump on to the top of a thorn bush. There we were, he looking at me and I at him about three feet above his head. I expected to be dragged down at every moment, but as it turned out he was too far gone, and I called out to somebody to come into the bush and finish him. "Last night," adds Mr. Bulpett, "I slept on the equator, my legs to the south of it and my head to the north, the small of my back on the line."? London Mail. A Falte Weather Prophet. Little Grace, who is afraid of thunder storms, was visiting at auntie's, where they had a telephone. The 'phone was a new thing to Grace, and when the bell rang she was all attention. Suddenly came a call at the 'phone and auntie, who had just spoken of the peculiar looking clouds in the north, answered. She then turned to the others in the room, remarking, "He says to watch the clouds carefully, as he thinks we are to have a severe storm." Little Grace ran to hide her head in a comforting lap, crying: "Oh, Aunt Mollie, maybe dat fing don't always tell the truf."?Little Chronicle. Recreatipn For Royalty.
