A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. J. A. R. CAIRNS. Theme: The Glory of Death. Belfast. Ireland. ? The famous Tresbyterian divine, the Rev J. A. R. Cairns, recently delivered the following sermon entitled, "The Glory of Death.'' He took as his text: "To die is gain." ? Phil. 1:21. "* ? * rpjjg vjctory,"?i Qot 57. Is it not remarkable that the thing that haunts us like a terror is the thing that burns like an inspiration to the men who wove together the teaching of this Book? What we try to forget, they strove to remember. What we call calamity, they called blessing and deliverance. What makes us cry, made them rejoice. The clearest teaching of this Book is that death is glorious. It is an inspiration. And that teaching makes the uniqueness of the Christian Gospel. Let us gather the incidents that seem to present this teaching: The great Teacher is going to die. The hints at death grow clear and unmistakable, and the hearts of the disciples begin to fail them. The labors and prayers and denials of those busy, ministering years appear as though they would issue in nothingness. Even friendship is going to be taken away," and out of all those years only a memory will be left them. No other issue seemed possible. They had no knowledge and they had no power. And how did Jesus face that? What does He say? What can He say? He seems shut up by a logical necessity to admit the dark forebodings of His disciples. But it was just there that the opportunity for the new truth came?just at the point when human effort seemed to fail and human inspiration to die?that its meaning could be vaguely felt if not clearly understood. And His new truth Is this simply?"That death is glorious." It has a glory all its own. John 14 gathers about that single truth. That is its meaning, its purpose?"I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also." "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." That friendship and that inspiration and that teachingthat they loved eo much and feared so much to lose, would become deeper and fuller and eternal because of the coming of death. They would lose nothing, they would gain much. "If ye loved Me ye would rejoice because I go." But you say Christ was somehow unique. "He was tempted in all points like as we are, and yet witnout sin." With His spiritual vision and power we can see how He could ba fearless of death, and find in it a rich and abiding testimony to the truth of His Gospel, but what of the burdened men?the men who walk in mists and mysteries, who lack the vision and the power? Can death ever be less than a terror and devoid of glory? Let us see. Take Paul. Our text is his testimony and confession. "To die is gain *, * * the victory." Paul's life was hard. His years were crowded with labors and denials. How little response there seemed to be for all he gave! And what was it that burned before him as the shining goal to which he longed to come?what was the inspiration that warmed his weary heart? It was death. "I am in a strait betwixt two?having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful to you." "I am ready. * * * Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown." And what is the glad note that Peter strikes to cheer the hearts of those who suffer and pray and weep and wait? What light does he throw across the dark pathway of their tribulation? "Nevertheless we, ac cording to His promise, Jook ior new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such i things be diligent, that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot and blameless." x And what consolation stole into the heart of that lonely thinker on Patmos ? shut away from work and friendship, and suffering for the cross? Who are these that are arrayed in the white robes. "These are they which come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them or any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst oi tne tnrone snail ieea tnem, ana shall lead them unto living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Such, then, is the view of death that was taken by the disciples of Jesus and the apostles of the early Christian church. And I think it is abundantly clear that most of us are far away from such a view. Death is to us the la6t calamity. We meet it with fear and uncertainty. How is one to account for this strange dissimilarity? How has a Joy become a heartbreak, and an inspiration become a terror? If we can answer this we shall answer many lesser questions, and discover how it is that not only in death, but in sorrow and sickness and disappointment we are missing the consolation and the glory that ought to dwell evermore in our hearts. it is uit.'cw, i Luiinv, tucil iijc men who found and held to the glory of death were free from many of the subtle temptations that surround our lives. The atmosphere they breathed was pagan. The work they did was unpopular. The Gospel they professed was bitterly ridiculed and opposed. These men could not live Christian lives as "of course." They bad got to live it deliberately, passionately, earnestly. They were driven back to draw out of Christianity the very richest that it would give. To drift was impossible. They were definitely out of it. And as they faced it all with the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, and with a great, heroic faith in Hin). they discovered how true He stood and what rivers of strength outflowed from Him into them! The foundation of their fearless ness was experience, and so personal experience of Christ and their titter Inability to find joy iu the world made the glory of death. Out of their circumstances and experiences can't you catch a gleam of something that is not ourown? Can't you see something in their circumstances and in their hearts that we lack? 1 think both are abundantly clear. Take our circumstances. We live tn Tin nsctiT) atninonhnrp The I churches consecrated to the program ' nf Christ arp rlip most visihlp nhipfts f / of rnir r'tien. Tbcy flaunt themselves in onr faces. The hells peal out gla< notes above the din and clash o traflie. And what of the Book tha gathers up the teaching?the word: and works of Jesus? All may pos sees and read it. To be a Christian is no longer t< be heroic. A man may confess Chris without apology. Nay! The under lying assumption behind all our ac tions is that a man is a Christian To be otherwise a man must specific ally and ostentatiously deny it. W< start our life with Christian baptism we are hid away with the undyinj words of Christian hope ringing abov< \X7 ~ It# | uui piace. ??c juiu uui ni< to another, and rear our homes upoi the Christian foundation. But al has degenerated to an idle form. It has come to be taken for grant ed. Men ask for baptism for thei children and burial for their dead because it is the usual, the expecte< thing. And, brethren, don't you se where it has led us to? To a Chris tian formalism that contains no vital ity, no power. We are living live devoid of experience. We do not fee the power of Christ, nor do we se the glory of His living presence. W mumble words that have no deep abiding significance. It is tragic; it is horrible. But i is the spirit of the age. The Chris tian life is losing much because of th success of Christianity. Because i has meaut and has accomplished s< much, it means and accomplishes S' little to-day. Its success is the caus of our personal loss. It is an old his toric truism that success is the be ginning of defeat. It has happene< in empires and religions. It is th man who has to fight for his fait] that holds that faith as his most cher ished possession. We take Christ a we take our daily bread, withou one thought of all it means, of all i represents. And what of our experience? M dear brethren, it is because we fini our joy in the world and miss the jo; of Christ that death has been cbangei from a glory to a fear, from an in spiration to a dismay. We hav grown to love the world?this fading dying world?its joys, its music, .it rewards. We have grown to forge the sacred, eternal words of Christ a to what life is, and duty, and God. And the years race on ? busj crowded years of labor for place aw ' money and success. When the nigh grows dark and lonely we cry fo comfort, and when the day break with golden beams of light we hastei away and we forget. We forget! W forget!! Ah! it Is the man whose night ha been the longest that knows Chris the best and fears death the leasl There are worse calamities than sor row and defeat. One thousand nin hundred years ago Jesus warned u against success. It binds us and i holds much from us. In the day o our own sufficiency it is hard to se and plan for Christ. Is it not impos sible? And then the days come when th strength grows weak and the bod fails and the clash of the world goe back and back, and we lie and watc] and wait and think! What comes then? We grow afraid! We hav had no true fellowship with Hire We don't know Him. We can't feai lessly trust Him. Others tell of Hi keeping, and of the great, dear lov He gave, otners go into me inist singing and crying?Victory! Bu we?we don't know. He hasn't bee: experienced, and we miss the cei tainty. Oh, my beloved! I warn you tc day! That day comes. You ar grower older and weaker and tireder You will lie down 'one day. An when the tiredness is very great, an the world has got your best?will yo be able to say, "I am ready." "I hav gotten the victory?" This certainty ODly comes out o faith in and service to Christ, out o experienceof Christ. Ifinthemornin you have no rich memories of Chris inside your heart, if you have no es periences of Him gathered insid your character?oh! face it very eai nestly, for the faith that change death to an inspiration, and make the corruption and 16nesomeness c the grave an ideal and a power, i the greatest thing in the world. Death has another side. Of all i means I cannot tell. Jesus uses tei rible imagery that ought to startl us. The worm dieth not; fire is no quenched, and a great gulf opens, have seen the face of men who mis spent their youtn ana years, an when manhood came it was hell! Bu what may lie behind years and year of forgetfulness of God? Who ca say? One thing it is?it is the los of all that life can be satisfied witt and all that it was created for. It J missing life?and God. Sustaining Power. David Brainerd, the mighty apostl to the Indians, was greatly blessed b the sustaining power of the Hoi Spirit. He writes on one occasio when he was preaching to the Indian at Crossweeksung, N. J.: "The powe < ? f flnrl onnmoH tr\ Hccrpnrl linnn th assembly 'like a mighty rughin wind,' and with an astonishing er ergy bore down all before it. 1 stoo amazed at theinfluence,which seeme to seize the audience almost univer sally and could compare it to nothin more aptly than the irresistible fore of a mighty torrent or swelling de] uge that with its insupportable weigh and pressure bears down and sweep before it whatever comes in its wa3 Almost all persons of all ages wer bowed down with concern togethei and scarcely one was able to with stand the shock of this surprising op eration. Old men and women wh had been drunken wretches for man years, and some little children, no mors than six or seven years of age appeared in distress for their soiih as well as persons of middle age. Such manifestations of divine powe Brainerd had never before beheld It was enough, he thought, to cor vince even an atheist of the truth am power of the word of God. Teaching Nn^grts. His presence is our peer. To love Him is to live for others. None remain hungry where He i host. His glory has not lifted Him abov the feeling of our infirmities. Every profession of love must com to the test of the life of service. The best evidence of His conhdenc in us is the call to Ilis service. It is always easier to discuss th duties of others than to do our own. Many mistake the business of regu lating others for their own righteous ness. They cannot ^ee the Father's faa who cannot bend to serve the least */ His children. A life is great not by the measuri of few mistakes, but by splendid mas tery over all mistakes.?Henry F Cope, in the Sunday-School Times. Cod Loves Perseverance.

A Poet's Testimony. Herr Dehmel, one of the greatest e living German poets of the "modern school," says: "I have attempted sevt eral times to write poetr;- under the D influence of liquor, but the next morn'* lug it appears to me to be mere word play, monstrous fancies or con * fused unconscious reminiscences." It ? is needless to say that Herr Dehmel is now a total abstainer. A certain ? author and writer in Chicago who a was accustomed to stimulate a 11 fagged brain with the use of brandy e died a few years ago under peculiarly distressing circumstances. Many 'J newspaper men who are obliged to * work very much at high pressure on rush editions are accustomed to keep themselves up with stimulants. The practice is always fatal ultimately to 0 the best results, and the writer who '* forces himself by such means is 9 doomed to disappointment. s ' May Reduce Revenues. s Law makers and officials around H Washington are beginning to talk .. about the certainty in the near fue ture of a national prohibition movement. Prohibition has been sweep1 ing the Southern States. Oklahoma, j. largely populate:: by Southerners, has J just gone "dry" by a pronounced t vote. Missouri, in the heart of the s teeming Southwest", has recently n shown a powerful sentiment for local g I option in a considerable majority of lt its counties. Gep/gia has adopted 3 a prohibition law, and the Democrats of Kentucky, where ninety-six out of 119 counties are against the sale of intoxicants, have declared for State prohibition. It is said that Tenaese see Democrats will take a similar y stand. y n A Distillery Secret, s A man who had been employed in r a distillery told the writer that during e one night more than a thousand galg Ions were taken from the distillery i- to Cincinnati and sold without the d paying of a cent of tax.
