THE PULPIT. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. J. A. HANSEN. Theme: Small Man's Treasures. Brooklyn. N. Y.?In the Central Baptist Church, Sunday, the pastor, the Rev. J. A. Hansen, had for his subject "A Small Man's Great Treasures." The text was taken from Luke 19:1-10. Mr. Hansen said: We need not know much about some people to know all about them. Of Zaccheus we know just three things: He was chief among the publicans, be was rich and of small stature. These facts constitute the background of a very interesting picture, "A Genuine Conversion." As a chief publican he had bought the right to tullect the Roman taxes. All the publicans were despised by the Jews, not only because they served the goats, but more so because they sheared the sheep. It was not only a matter of what Rome wanted, but what the publican could get. It was r this tflkinp of "the Dound of flesh" that hurt and humbled the Jew and made him hate the publicans. Thus allied with Rome and arraigned against the Jews by an unpopular and dishonest method, Zaccheus had grown wealthy. He was not only rich, but he was a rich publican. This not only said he had money, but told how it had been secured. It proved him what we would call a grafter, and a good one?more correctly, a bad one. His wealth was greater than his treasures; a man may be rich and not have much that belongs to himself. Zaccheus at least feared that some of his means belonged with the assets of others. What a shrinking and swelling of bank accounts there would be if all financial injustice were righted by the return of the amount multiplied by four. The first treasure that came into the experience of Zaccheus was undoubtedly the gems of truth, which that day he discovered and found precious. A walk, a talk, a meal, Jpriir a euest. and the man is changed?converted. A little man who could not see. could thank God, hear. Truly, faith came not by sight, but by hearing. And what did he hear? Millions of men have walked, talked and dined together without influencing each other. Of course, he had seen Jesus, but like another, "He had Him, now." Words of divine truth and sublime thought had flowed from His gracious lips. The "Water of Life" became a stream making fresh and fruitful the best where the worst had predominated. What an ancient lesson for modern needs. The Christian worker of today has left the path of success because he seeks changes that will convert the man. Change the man and he will change his conditions. And yet here is an external force that blesses the soul. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." If the Son make you free, ye shall be free indeed. It was undoubtedly these two?personality and truth?that proved of Inestimable value to Zeccheus. Christianity is the broadest and best thing of everyday life?for our matter-of-fact day, if you please. It makes every man a brother and every brother a missionary. If those who love and live-the truth would give the truth, who doubts the result? It was not only what Jesus was, but what He was and said that touched the conscience and moved the heart of Zeccheus. We have "this treasure" indeed in earthern vessels; yet, whatever the vehicle, the treasures of truth are committed to us and by them we persuade men to b? reconciled to God. Oh, for a willingness and effort to make our walking, talking and visiting tell for religion and life. "Go * * teaching them whatsoever I have commanded * * * and lo I am with you alway, said Jesus." "The truth" is after all the world's and the church's greatest treasure. The second treasure that he secured was light and sight together? they were created for each other. Again it was not seeing the great rabbi, but seeing himself that proved his great blessing. Self-sight is a thing to be prized and prayed for. Oh, wad some ^ower the giftie gie us; To see ourselves as ithers see us. We believe the light revealed Zaccheus that day to be small, not only in stature, but in character as well. As Achan, with his wedge or gold and Judas with his thirty pieces of silver shrink into men too small to be soldier and apostle, so Zaccheus is affected by his wealth. He happily becomes big enough to be willing to give away one-half and to restore as much as necessary. But he is small before the implied methods of its obtaining. The lack of character is not only a want to be deplored, but littleness in this sense is the ground of great evils. A man of small body, small mind, small heart must be limited in his ability to do good; but the small character is unlimited in his possibilities of evil. He may be restrained by self-fear or interposed providence, yet the probabilities are he will be a withering and blighting curse. In making money the publican was constantly tempted to fleece both the rich and the poor. "Dishonesty" was his ability and "tricking" his^ trade. Herein lies the value of the truth acquired that day. Money secured at the price of the sorrows and sufferings of others is acquired at the cost of a blighted conscience and a lost soul. His contact with the good in life and thought in Jesus made him see himself and seek betterment Herein lies the power of the Christ and the Christian. -'Life is an opportunity. It is nc virtue to be so small we will not em ter doors. There are, of course, opportunities that any one worthy ol the name of man will not embrace A bieness to be coveted. There an also invitations of sin and solicita tions of self that call for a smallnes: that is despicable. There are doors all about us and it is a fact of humai existence that we will enter some? the high or the low. for weal or foi woe. Behold the wisdom and mere: of God that no life is left without it; opportunity for good. Esau may sel his birthright, but God sets in th< life of every Jacob a ladder tha reaches heaven. What if the great opportunities o history had all been embraced b: wicked and designing men? Indeed history under such circumstance; would cease to be history and becomi a record of spoliation and crime. ? omoll mnn rlnps wirWpfllv?a lii? mar does righteously, and his is a bignes that outlives his age and perpetuate; itself in song, story and lasting mon liment. God's man?the Christfills the pre-eminent place in history His bigness is the greatness of sin lessness and goodness. The opportunities of our day are o God. All possibilities are launchei by Uod for the accowplisaius by liicii We think God's thoughts after Him and work God's works with Him. The main demands of our times are of U& cessity those of development and or^ ganization. The business of our day are large enterprises which bestow great gain. Are these important and great opportunities to be filled by the emissaries of the devil? Instinctively all right thinking men cry. no. Are wicked and selfish men large enough for ;he times? How the wicked have fallen and what a mighty cry goes up for men. "God give us men." good men. Hark, the clock is striking a new hour. It has sounded many before. None, however, more important and far reaching than the present. As always it is an hour of change and reform. It tolls in the music of magical charm these letters, H-O-N-E-ST-Y! This is the old word of a new national anthem that shall save us and rejuvenate our country. Like all hours marked by history's strokes, it has its demand. The greatest hour of history demanded a world saving sacrifice, and all times point back to Christ, saying: First, "Behold thp man!"?the createst. man of earth's greatest hour. Second, "Be like Him, serve, sacrifice, save." And the Christ gives us our motto, our principle of financial salvation: "Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?" Earth's business must be made God's business. Christianity has given the world its greatest and best. As it has been, so it must be. We may truly say, so it is. The demands of the world on the church are seldom disappointed. The few failures but prove the rule that the bank of faith can supply the calls of sight. I hail the coming day, the advent of the most exalted type of Christian. In law and literature. in art and science, among capitalists and laborers, statesmen and citizens, let us have what we need, namely?Christian men?that is, men ?Christlike. The third treasure he secured was wisdom. We see in Zaccheus one who could make money, but was now bound to make it honestly and willing to use it well. ' It may be objected that all his money was not dishonestly obtained. Let us accept frit* if 4c not nnQQlhl A iuai cis n iavi, J. wi * u AM that the gifts of a few thousands or millions should give the guilty conscience peace. He found this as far as it could be obtained in restitution. The restitution proved what he wanted to be; his gift of half his goods, what he was. We can almost feel his conversion, as his actions accuse himself of hoarding and indulgence. His desires seem to broaden from being a lake of pleasure to becoming a river of blessing. The use of wealth is a great art and a wise wealth user is indeed an artist. Let us presume the same conditions to prevail in our day; one-half of my goods to the poor, onehalf of the accumulated wealth?the wealth that is making people selfish and self-indulgent, often wasteful and wicked?one-half this wealth would prosper charity, missions and the cause of Christ beyond all our fondest dreams. Yet let us remember the church is blessed with great wisdom and willingness to use wealth for the good of the race and the glory of God. The wealth of all the world is held largely by the professed followers of Christ. This is as it should be, not because it is by them most deserved, but because it is by them best used. The wealth of the world may be held largely by Christians, but it belongs to God. Ko man is truly a Christian rich man, unless he is a liberal giver, and even the Christian poor often prove that it more blessed to give than to receive. The fourth treasure that he secured was salvation. "This day is salvation come to this house." so said Christ. Does it pay to get right with God and to square up with men? As well ask. Does it pay to buy gold eagles with trade dollars? Salvation is truly the "Pearl of Great Price" which, once found, it is worth all to obtain it. Directly, salvation is ever and always free?without money and without price; indirectly, it is secured by humiliation, restitution, confession and liberality. Salvation is so great it must cost and so great it cannot be purchased. Not all of earth's wealth and treasures can buy salvation, for we were redeemed not by silver or gold, but by the precious blood of Christ. Zaccheus was to have less of material things, but so much more of spiritual things. There are lives loaded with mater'al wealth and blessings that are just sinking them in sin and wickedness. They are sure to strike the rocks of an accusing conscience. and condemning heart. Man lightens the ship. Restitution and liberality will prepare the way lor God's grea', blessing of salvation. How rich Zaccheus became that day! Like Mary, he found that better part?a treasure that the world cannot give, neither take away. He is a living testimony that honesty pays and the square deal is profitable. He gained life's greatest possession?the salvation of his soul. And strange to say, he began to ba doubly rich when he was converted. He learned to give to the poor, and thus started to lend to the Lord. His treasures were simply transferred; for every honest dollar sincerely given in charity and liberality is so saved beyond the rainy day, treasures laid up in Heaven. God give us the fear of doing wrong; a daring courage to right our wrongs, and an unwavering faith to do well with what is truly our possessions. To hold is to lose; to give is to save. God grant that in this grace of giving we may abound to the blessing of others on earth, and the enriching of ourselves in Heaven. I A Comforting Promise. i "With long life will I satisfy thee" . ?1 get a good deal of comfort out of t that promise. I don't think that means a short life down here?sev) enty years, eighty years, ninety years, - or one hundred years.

Suppose Adam had lived until lo-day, and had to die tonight; would he be satisfied? Not a bit of it! Not if he had lived a mil i lion years and then had to die. You know we are all the time comr ing to the end of things here?the ' end of the week, the end of the 3 month, the- end of the year, the end 1 of school days. It is end. end, end i all the time. But, thank God, He is t going to satisfy us with long life; nc end of it, an endless life. f Life is very sweet. ! I never liked f death; I like life.
