THE PULPIT. AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY StRMON B'l THE REV. D. H. OVERTON, Subject : Confessing; Christ, Brooklyn, N. 3.?SunJn* morning tbe Rev. Daniel H. Overton, pastor of the Gre* no Aveuue Presbyterian Church, preached on "Confessing Christ." Tbe text was from John xii. at 42-43: "Nevertheless even of the rulers ;ly ! many believed on Him; but because of ' i the Pharisees they did not confess it, "T* i lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the glory se of men more than tbe glory of God." as Mr. Overton said: ed | We have mentioned here in the text ix-! two of the greatest privileges and du;o. i ties of our lives, namely, that of be' | Jieving in Christ, and that of confesa: ing Christ. John, in telling tbe story of Christ's work, is complaining that et there were bo many wbb though they '0- j saw the wonderful works Christ did is before them, did not believe on ftim. of ! He explains this by saying that this | has ever bepn the experiences of the lSt ! prophets. Isaiah, one of the greatest . . prophets of the Old Testsrueut, had j this same complaint: "Who hath beLls | lieved our report? And to whom bath , the arm of tbe Lord been revealed?" oa i Uq nAmnlo inarl r\f hlin/loil 0r0Q nnfl ai 1 of hardened hearts and of stubborn jj. I wills. If these things were true of s* j the prophets of the past; if this was . ! the experience of theui all, then it * I was not strange that it should be i Christ's experience, xsaiah saw that I this must ever be the experience of ts j any true prophet that would come to ut j this earth, even of that greatest s. ! prophet whom he expected, the Mesor ! siah. the Christ, and so he predicted ^ i this experience for Him. The greater . j His glory and the more marvelous His *7 work, the greater would be the oppol*' | sition -.o Him. Such experience would he J not argue agaiust the Mas.iahship of lis the Christ, but in favor of it. is j That this was the experience of the he i Christ the verses preceding the text, I and many others that we might give, , [ declare. Often He complained of the I slowness of men's faith and the dulll0* I ness of men's minds, and the stubbornid j ess of men's will. We read that "He ae marveled at their unbelief." He had ur many things that He wanted to say to ?. them, but their minds were so dull that they could not understand Him. He wept over the Holy City most of all, because of the stubborness of the wills of its perishing people. Yet even though this wa>s Christ's experience, as it has been the experience of every prophet. His word and His work did not return unto Him empty. Some believed, and followed and confessed. Many others believed, as we read in the text, but did not confess their belief. They were timid, uesuflling, iiau jjtiirieu uijiimjuuo. h is of such that I would speak tliis Sunday morning. And leading up to this I would speak first of believing on Christ. This, of course, is fundamental, and all-important. "Without faith it is impossible to please Him." Without faith it is impossible for Christ to be anything to us, or to do anything for us. It is faith that links our lives to His? that brings Him,near, and makes Him real, to us. We must believe in Hint or we cannot reap the benefit of His great and glorious work for us. Everywhere in Christ's message and in all the New Testament faith is made a condition of the blessed life. This is true of all life's relationships and it is supremely true of our relationship to God. There is little that He can do for us unless by faith we open our hearts and lives to Him. Faith is the channel that lets the life of God into the soul of man. But this is what I wish to emphasize: Our faith must be strong enough to lead 1o something. It must lead to confession, to service, to sacrifice. "Faithful work is dead." The faith that sets us to no task, and that leads to 110 changed and better life is a false and useless faith. I say that becausc I believe that so much of the faith in Christ is of this kind. It is a vague, visionary, general, half hearted, spasmodic faith that leads to nothing permanent, and takes us nowhere worth while. It is a faith that was well represented in that crowd that followed Christ, or that threw garments, or palms in His way on that first Palm Sunday long ago. It is beiieved by many that there were many in the multitude who (lid Him honor that day. but who before the week ended were crying with another crowd: "Away with Him! Cru__ city Him! Crucify Him!" Their faith ! was futile because it led to no confes. j sion, nor consecration. 3e I There is much faith in Christ that is u- j like that to-day. It is spasmodic, hysterical, ephemeral. It leads people to church at Easter time, or at Christmas, who rarely if ever are seen there at any other time of the whole year. It may be that such -iave come to church more to show their new found faith in Christ, but we will not bring that accusation against them. We will give them credit for a little faith, even if it does not last except but for one or two days of the year. Then there is a great deal of this ' kind of faith out in the world that ncvj er gets into the churches even for once j or twice a year. It is a negative, passive faith. It has nothing against Christ, but it leads to nothing for Hiui. I There are lots of people who will tell | you, if you usked them, that they believe in Christ, and yet they nre doing l nothiug for His cause or kingdom. I They never have confessed Him pubj licly. They never have enlisted iu His i caiM'Ino Now faith of this kind is good as far as it goes. bu. it doesn't go far enough. It is better than unbelief and opposition. I suppose, but it is sometimes harder Jo deal with. :.ud to get anything out of, th.iu are these, I have thought Our faitb. if it is real, and . if it amounts to anything, must lead us st to confession, and to consecration, to j 7. j service and to sacrifice. k. It is of the great duty and privilege w I of confessing Christ that I would speak el | especially this morning. We see in the id text that there were uiany in Christ's 0f lime who believed on Him, but who did not confess their belief, nor show their allegiance. There are very many such 1(1 to-day, I believe, and it is to those and -d of those that I would sp^k. Why is it ne that there are so many timid Cliris. h tians. and hesitating half-hearted ;e Christians in the world? Why is it ' that there are so ninny men of good morals, aud of good will, and perhaps of Christian characters, who are unattached to any of our churches, and who, Although they believe in Christ, have never coufessed Him in that way. jh at least. or Ayain we find the answer in the text, tie "Nevertheless eveo of the rulers many or believed on Him: but because of the re Pharisees they did not confess it. lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the glory of men , more than the glory of God." ir, The first reason is, false fears. These le timid believers did not confess Christ for fear of being put out of the syna gogue. The Pharisees had Issued a decree that if any member of their synagogues should so much as confess that i he knew .Tesus lie would be excoinmu- j nicated from the synagogue. They j were afraid of this threat or decree, | and so they did not confess Christ. | ; They did not have faith enough to j make them bold and fearless or to lend ; them to do their duty whatever might j be the consequences. They took counsel of their fears, and so they failed in | their duty. It meant much to them to j lose their place in the synagogue. They i 1 knew that. It really meant more to | > them to confess Christ even if they did | ! lost their place in the synagogue. They : | did not know that. They did not know ; that as we know it to-day. We blame | teem, DUt in DJaming wem we cuuueiuu ; ourselves, and the people of tills day ! who do not confess Chris^. There are very many to-day who be- ) lieve in Christ with more or less faith I who do not make any public coufession <, 1 or profession of their faith. What hin- j 1 ders them? Many things, no doubt, 1 ; but .among those many things this i ?a false fear, the fear of giving 'I up or losing some coveted position or j | pleasure. Let me illustrate what I mean. There was a family at one time j ( attending this church quite regularly, i I asked them several times if they ? would not like to make a public profes- j sion of their faith and join our church. ! They always objected, and gave me j some weak excuse, but finally they ; gave me the real reason. They said: | 1 "You know, we like to play cards some 1 times, and we go to the theatre ouce ' in a while, and we don't think that a church member ought to do these things, so we don't join the church." j Thus, for tee tear or losiup uiese i things, they never made a public con- ' fession of their faith by unitiug with i the church. They were wron~, and I | told them so. They were wrong in the i first place, in concluding that a church , member might never play cards, or go I to the' theatre without injury to his ! soul, or to the church: and then they were utterly wrong in the second place, in that they concluded that these things were wrong for the believer in the church, and especially, in the third ' place, in believing that these things, 1 even if they were wrong and had to , be given up, were of more importance ! ? than joining the church, and so chose these rather than the fulfilling of their l'aith by a public confession. I believe there are many like them who put some little tbiug, or false fear, In the way of doing their full duty toward their God. And thus they stultify their souls and prove false to their faith. There are many "no say to me: i "I would like to be a Christian and join ! the church, but there are so many j things that I would have to give up j that now I like to do." They are ; wrong, 'n becoming a Christian we | need to give up only what ii wrong, and every true person ought to be willing to do that, anyway. And then the ' things that we Icie are as nothing com- j pared to the things that wegnin. When ! we can say, with Paul, "For me to live i is Christ," then we will count all other coveted things as refuse in order that we may hava more of Christ. Aje, even death will be a gain to us. for it i will give us more of Christ. "Godli- j ness is profitable, both for the life that > uow is, and for the life that is to i come." Away, then, with all false fears and | silly excuses, and let all who believe in j Christ confess Christ. This is His own j 1 desire for us, as we know. "For who- . 1 soever shall confess Me before men, I him will I confess before My Father in ' heaven." But not only do false fears keep peo* | pie from the duty and the privilege of confessing their faith in Christ; there ! is another reason given in the text. It , 1 is false loves. "For they loved the j glory of men more than tbe glory of i God." They wished to be thought well j of by these Pharisees of the synagogue , i and to receive tbeir praise. Their i praise was something real and present i and tangible. The praise of God for duty well done; that was far off and uncertain. They believed in this lowly j Nazarene. They thought He was the j Messiah, and. if He was the Messiah, j i it would certainly be to the glory of I < God if tliey would confess their faith 1 in Him. It would help on God's king- , i dom in the world. But if they should : j declare their faith in Christ, the Pbari- j ^ees would be displeased and no longer j j praise and glorify them. And so they 1 j choose the glory and praise of the Phar- j isees. rather than the glory and praise ; of God. There are very many to-day who make that mistake. They love tbe praise of men, of their comrades, more [ than the praise of God, and so they fail i < in doing their full duty to God. They j are afraid of what some of their J . friends will say if they come out and : make a bold confession of their faith j iii Christ. I believe this love of the j praise of men, and coupled with it the fear of what others will say, is keeping many from their well-known duty toward God. Oh, let neither false tears 1 nor false loves keep any one back from j. duty, his full duty, toward God and j His church. i The Sore Foundation. Some are all their days laying the ; foundation, and are never able to build : upon it to any comfort to themselves j or usefulness to others; and the rea- . son is. because they will he mixing j with the foundation, stones that are , only for the following building. They will be bringing their obedience, duties, mortification of siu, aud the like unto the foundation. These are precious stones to build with, but unmeet j to be first laid, to bear upon them the ! whole weight of the building. The j foundation is to be laid in grace, merc-y, pardon in the blood of Christ. But j if the fouudation be of grace, it is not | ;it all of works; otherwise grace is no j more grace. If auythiug of our own ' be mixed with gface in this matter, it 1 utterly destroyed the nature of graco. which, if it be not alone, is not at all. ?Owen. Dlvino itconomy. In building his altar on Mount Carmel Elijah did not seek out new material for its construction, but gathered up the stones of an earlier altar which had been thrown down, remarks Our Bible Teacher.

Baby Well Packed. A lady and her little daughter were walking through a fashionable quarter when they came to a portion of the street strewn with straw,, so as to deaden the noise of vehicles passing a certain house. "What's that for, ma?" said the child; to which the mother replied: "The lady who lives in that house, my dear, has had a little baby crirl sent her." The child thought a moment, looked at the quantity of straw, and said: "Awfully well packed, wasn't she, ma?" Why the Jury Pal<{ the Fine. A Texas correspondent tells how an obstinate juryman was circumvented by his fellow-judges of the facts. The offense charged was assault with intent to murder. After the jury had been out about two hours it returned the following verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of aggravated assault, and assess bis punishment at f>25 fine, and herewith pay the fine." On inquiry as to the meaning of the last clause of the verdict it came out that eleven of the jurors had agreed that the defendant was not'guilty, but the twelfth doggedly hung out for a conviction for aggravated assault, and would not consent to a punishment less than a fine of $25. Finding it a hopeless task to bring over the obstinate one to their way of thinking, the eleven finally decided to agree with him, and chipped in enough to pay the fine.? Law Notes. ln?
