THE;:PULPIT.
AN ELOQUENT? SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR. CURT?S LEE LAV/S.
"t ~ ~~
Th?ine: Backsliding;.
Brooklyn, N. Y.-In tho Greene
Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday, the
pastor, the Rev. Dr: Curtis Lee Laws,
preached a strong sermon on "Back
sliding. " The text was from Proverbs
14:14: "The backslider in heart
shall, be filled with his own ways."
Dr. .Laws said:
Do you recall your early experi
ences In the service of the Lord? Do
you remember the day and hour
when the burden of sin rolled off
your heart, and when you could look
up for the first time Into the far.o of
your heavenly Father, rejoicing in
His presence and in His love? Do
you not recall how the whole world
suddenly became mare beautiful and
how your heart yearned over your
friends and enemies as never before?
There was on old man converted to
Cb?isi. down in Washington some
time ago. He was a rugged old fel
low, his esthetic nature had not been
much cultivated, and hs did not h?ve
an artist's eye. The morling after
his conversion, when his wife came
down to breakfast, he was standing
at the dining-room window looking
out at the desolate winter scenery.
He turned and said: ^Wife, come
here and look, come here and look;
the very trees are clapping their
hands In praise to God!" Ah, In the
days gone by there has been many an
eoho of those words, in many a heart
?aere. j
-To me after I found God, the whole
world was more beautiful; the sky
was bluer, the grass was greener, the
breezes were softer, the sun was
warmer and all mankind were dearer
to me.
What is the meaning of all this?
It means that I had found that which
was the complement of my whole be
ing. As. Augustine said: -"O Lord,
Thou hast made us for Thyself, and
we are restless till we rest In Thee."
lt means that in God I had ijTmd the
satisfaction which this world had
never afforded me, for as the ocean
only can fill rthe ocean's "bed, so God
alone can satisfy the mind of man.
Blessed is the man who has been rec
onciled to his heavenly Father, who
has returned like the prodigal to his
Father's love.
I turn now to the dark side of the
picture. How few of us have kept
this early joy, and have continued In
this blessed peace? Of course you
know the story of the lost chord? A
woman, in the shadows of the twi
light, when'her heart was sad, gently
touched the keyB of a glorious organ.
She did not know or care what she
was playing; her fingers lingered idly
but caressingly upon the keys. Sud
denly she struck a chord, and its won
drous melody as lt tilled the room
was uplifting and transforming and
heavenly.
lt flooded the^rimson twilight.
Lite the close of an ansel s psalm,
And it lay on her fevered spirit
' With the toneh of infinite calm.
It quieted pain and sorrow.
Like love overcoming strife;
It Reemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant hie.
It linked all perplexed meanings
Into one'perfect peace.
And trembled away in silence,
As if it were loth to cease. . .
Something disturbed this woman
and called her from the organ. As
soon as possible she hurried back and
began to play, but this divine chord
was gone, and though . she kept on
\ playing she could not bring it back
again.
How similar to our experience as
the children of God and yet how op
posite! Marry of us have lost our
peace, our joy, our rapture, but blesB
God, we can all havo this heavenly
music in our souls again, if we are
willing:, for God is willing to heal our
"backsliding. Backsliding Is so com
,' mon among Christians as to be almost
j universal. Of course, there are /dif
ferent degrees of backsliding. Some
have gone- only a little way, while
others have gone 30 far that the re
turn will be difficult, but thank God,
aot impossible.
First of all, let us consider how
men become backsliders. The word
itself is significant. To go forward
.requires effort, to go backward re
quires no effort at all. In the Chris
tian life, if you cease to go forward
! you will inevitably go backward.
\ This backsliding always begins in the
i heart. We may go on for a time In
J the outward performance of duty, in
the ceaseless round of Christian ac
? tivities, while in our hearts these
things are growing more and more
distasteful. The heart may therefore
be in wrong relation to a given thing,
i while our actions may be perfectly, ex
emplary. But God knows that that
j man ls a backslider, and he knows it
himself. Whether others know it
matters very little. But after a time
all men will know it, for the back
slider in heart generally becomes the
j backslider in life. It is very hard for
I men to continue long in hypocrisy.*
? Ordinarily a man's outward life is the
expression of his inner life. A man's
character may be better than his rep
utation, or a man's reputation may be
belter than his character, butl ordi
narily reputation arid character ??;ree.
We call the uncouth and uncivil "dia
monds in the rough."
We constantly say of the man who
sins with his tongue, "Well, you
know, he Is very hasty and Impetuous,
andi often says things which he does
not mean." But God says these
things have their origin In the heart,
and from the heart flow outward.
When our conduct becomes bad, It is
because we have already been back-'
slider* In our hearts. Then bad leads
to worse. Like Peter, we begin "to
follow the Lord afar off," and this In
evitably leads to the denial of our
Master. You remember that when
the Master was taken captive He was
immediately forsaken by His apostles.
Then began the procession from Geth
semane to the judgment hall. The
Master walked alone His weary way.
He trod the wine-press alone. The
shadow of the cross bad already
fallen athwart His pathway. But
j after a little while two of the apostles
summon up courage and follow the
company. One of these was John,
and he walked as close to Jesus as he
possibly could. But Peter did not
have the courage to do that, so he
ragged behind, or, as the record says,
"he followed afar off." When the
company reached the judgment hall,
John went in with Jesus, but Peter,
straggling In late, dared not go there,
but with shamefacedness sat out in
the court and warmed himself by the
fire. Step by step he had led to his
own undoing. The servants jeered
him and taunted him, until he grew
profane and blasphemous, and de
clared that he never knew Jesus 0?
Nazareth.. Had he followed close to
the Mastery the presence of Jesus
would haye sustained and strength
ened him, in the companionship of
John he would have found courage.
and he would have been ?av?d from
the influence of the evil company
which proved tils ruin. - Is not; this
the prop?r diagnosis of 'many sin-sick
BOUIS among us? Is not this the
exact history of your' backsliding?
You began by sheer neglect.. You did
not commit outward positive sins,
but you neglected the means of grace.
You were startled when you recog
nized the growing indifference in .your
heart. Bible reading' became irk
some, and you no longer delighted In
private prayer. In the meantime
your devotion to business or pleasure
caused you to give up the prayer
meeting. Then you became irregular
on Sunday evenings, and gradually
you dropped out of all churcn attend?
ance. In the meantime you were
not sustained and cheered by the
conscious presence of your L*prd nor
strengthened by the companionship of
your fellow Christians. Then you
drifted out among unbelievers, and
perhaps they have taunted you Int?
denying your Master in ways whicX
ten years ago you would not have
dreamed of! ?f course you did not
start out to make shipwreck of your
faith. You were hoodwinked by the
devil. Even a fool would shun the
first steps toward evil if he could
see the end from the beginning. In
our city there are tens of thousands
of men and women who have drifted
Into sin and drifted out of the
church. My heart yearns over these
people, for they belong to God. They
havevbeen redeemed by the blood of
God's Son. They ought to be eating
at their Father's table, but instead of
this they are spending their all In
riotous living, or lt may be that the
devil has already put them to feeding
swine.
Now let us consider the result of
this backsliding. I do not mean the
Influence of backsliding upon others,
though this is far-reaching and bane
ful, but the curse of backsliding to ,
the backslider himself. My text says
that the ""backslider in heart shall be
Ailed with his own ways." "What
soever a man Soweth that shall he
also reap." The law of the harvest
ls a universal and unalterable law.
but a considerable time generally
elapses before a man eats the bread
of his own sowing. I do not envy the
backslider- By experience I know
something o? the bitterness of the
agony which he now suffers or which
the f&ture holds In store for him.
Now let -us consider God's attitude
to the backslider. He yearns over
His wayward and wandering children,
I and tongs for their return. The pic
I ture of the father in the parable of
: the prodigal son is the best descrip
?> tion of God in the whole Bible. And
is not the picture of the prodigal son
the best description of the backslider
that you know of? In the heart of
God there is an abundant welcome for
every returning backslider, and the
chrrrch of God ought not to be less
hospitable than the heart of God.
Ii again I may use the Apostle
Peter as an illustration, we may sure
ly learn froin his restoration that
unworthy Christians may become
worthy Christians, that weak Chris- j
tlans may. become strong Christians, I
and ?that our very failings may be
come stepping stones to success.
After his experience, Peter was too
humble a man to praise himself; but
-all of ns know thai the Master took
him hack to His heart and immedi
ately intrusted him with the interests
of His Kingdom. This weak and
halting and backsliding man was des
tined to become the leader of the
apostles in devotion and suffering and
success. It thrills my heart to watch
the humble and chastened and re
stored backslider. I am glad it was
Peter who preached the wonderful
sermon at Pentecost, for it proves to
me that God can take the weakest of
us and make us strong and powerful,
if we will only give ourselves to Him.
I close with these -words of invita
tion from my Master. My first word
IP to the Christians within the
church who have grown cold Md
neglectful: " Our Master ls anxious to
forgive us and to have us start afresh.
Let us be done with indolence and
indifference, and serve the Lord with
joy and and enthusiasm. My second
word is to the Christians who have
fallen into sin and drifted out of the
church: Your Lord stands with open
arms and pleads with you to come
back to Him, and the qhurch wants
you back. If you will forsake your
sins, no one will remember them
against you. Come, and you shall
have the gold ring and the'best robe,
and we will kill the fatted calf in our
rejoicing, and in most of our churches
there will not be a single pharisaical
elder brother to begrudge you 'the
welcome you are receiving.
My last word ls to the men and
women who have never yielded their
hearts to the love of God, nor sur
rendered their wills to the will otf
God: The Father has a royal wel
come for you. It was for your sake
that God sent His Son into the world.
John 3:16 is the Master's message
to you. If "you do ' not remember
the beautiful words, hunt them up In
your long-neglected Bible3, and then
come, come, come.
Joyful Service.
Blessed is the Christian who works,
cheered by the sure hope of his Mas
ter's final victory. He cares little
for the tears now, for he can look
forward to tho hour when he shall
come to the harvest home, bringing
his sheaves with him. He bears eas
ily the noise and the wounding of the
battle, for he hears prophetically the
music of victory, and knows that he
follows a Captain who has never
known defeat, and that the joy of vic
tory, like the joy of harvest, shall
more than compensate for all life's
weary toil and all earth's strife and
conflict.
Great Expectations.
We should widen out expectations

Subject: The Conversion of Saul, Acta
9:1-30-Golden Text: Acts, 9:4
-Commit Verses 15, IC-Com
mentary on tlie Lesson.
TIME.-A. D..37 (?) PLACE.
Jerusalem, Damascus.
EXPOSITION.-I. Saul the MUT
derona Enemy of Jesus, 1, 2. Saul's
Intense anger against. Jesus and His
disciples was not a matter of a single
hour or day. The extent, to which
he carried his hatred in action we
see in ch. 22:19; 26:10, ll. In this
Saul had persuaded himself that he
was doing right (ch. 26:9). It is a
striking illustration of how a mair
who intends to be conscientious can
be thoroughly and awfully wrong.
JJ. Saul the Humbled . Peni tent. 3
0. The Lord allowed Saul tb go a
long way in his mad career. But at
the proper moment He put forth His
hand and saved the little flocks in
Damascus. Probably Ananias had
prayed, though he could hardly be
lieve when he heard. The Lord often
acts "suddenly." The "light out "of
heaven" that shone around Saul was
the light of Christ's; 'resurrection
glory (v. 17; 1 Cor. 15;8). It was
"about noon" , (ch. 22 fCy, and the
glare of the e?stern noon is exceed
ingly bright, but the glory of this
was "above the brightness of the
sun" (-ch. 26:13,). Our Jesus is ex
ceeding glorious. The stout-hearted
persecutor is thoroughly .humbled (v.
4). There are many to-day who
speak great, swelling words .against
our Lord, who, if they should get one
look at Him as He is, would "fall to
the earth" before Him <Phil. 2:10,
ll). " Evidently, for all fhls- zeal in
persecuting the church, S?ul liad
many a- goading thought that he
might be wrong, and Jesus indeed
the Lord (20:14, R. V.). A start
ling question (v. 4). He puts it to
every one to-day who is persecuting
His people. Note how tenderly Jesus
identifies Himself with His disciples
(v. 5; comp. Matt 25:35-40, 42-45;
Eph. 15:30). What an awful mo
ment lt must have been In Saul's life
when it fully broke upon him that
the glorious One who stood before
him was indeed Jesus, whom he had
so bitterly hated and so' relentlessly
persecuted. v 'What an awful moment
it will be for many now living when
they see Jesus in the glory, and real
ize that it is He whom they have
spurned and persecuted. . The light
Saul saw was no mere-subjective vis
ion or effect of sunstroke; the others
saw it, too (ch. 22:9), and heard the
voice. When we look at the original
the apparent contradiction between
v. 7 and ch. 22:9 entirely disappears.
In this passage ""the voice" is in the
genitive case, which with the verb
translated "hearing" - indicates the
person (or thing) heard speaking the
message. In Acts 22:$ "the voice" is
in the accusative case, which indi
cates the message which ls heard.
There was no hurrying, of Saul into
the light It ls not a bad thing for a 1
man to have time to think and to re
view the enormity of his sin.
UJ. Ananias, the Obedient Disci- 1
pie, 10-16. Ananias was simply' "a'I
certain disciple." ThiB destroys the
doc?rfae of the Mormon Church ('and'
of many others) that the laying on ol
an apostle's hands was necessary to
receiving the Holy Spirit. Ananias
was a ready instrument to the Lord's
call. But when the definite direc
tions came Ananias was staggered.
He quite overlooked what J?sus had
just told him about the change that
had been wrought in Saul. Saal, the
terrible, fills his whole vision and he
protests. Jesus enters into no dis
cussion with Ananias. "Go thy way,"
He says, and then He tells what Saul
of Tarsus really was-"a chosen ves
sel unto Me." How wonderful are
God's ways, to transform the bitter
enemy into "the chosen vessel." Eut
this former persecutor must himself
suffer for the sake of that' name he
once hated. This, too, a {gracious act
on Jesus' part to permit Saul to suf
fer for Him, and to-day the suffer
ings that Saul once inflicted upon
Christ are quite forgotten in the suf
gerings he endured for Christ.
IV. Saul, the Bold Witness Foi
Jesus, 17-19. Ananias protesta no
longer. Readily and promptly and
heartily he obeys. The moment, he
sees Saul he tenderly lays his hr.nds
upon him and exclaims, "Brother
Saul." There were no men on tarth
that Saul had hated as he did disci
ples of the Lord. There was no man
on earth that Ananias had dreaded as
he did Saul. But this was all
changed. Faith in one Lord had
madT them brothers. "And be filled
with the Holy Ghost." The Lord
had said nothing about that to Ana
nias (v. 12). But the Lord had said
"he is a chosen vessel to carry My
name before the Gentiles," etc., .and
Ananias knew he could not do that
properly unless he was endued with
power from on high (Luke 24:49;
Acts 1:4, 5; ch. 10:38). Saul, did
just what every-'man ought to do aa
soon as he ls saved and Spirit-filloci
(v. 20). There ls no indication that
Saul at this time received miraculous
gifts through being filled with -the
Holy Spirit. He took God's word for
it that he was so filled, and went
ahead, and the filling with the Spirit
manifested itself in the power with
which he preached (v. 22).
