Patchell, pastor of the *1 First Congregational Church here, n preached on "The Testimony of a ri Man " TJia ?..? ... ? ???-v T. *mv ?.v*v vf ao tluul 1mwu *' 40:9-11. Dr. Patchel! said: *) So far as man is concerned, the t* master problem la the question of ? his place or standing in the universe. He -wants to know whether he is a m machine or a god. Is he a cunningly m contrived piece of mechanism, assem- ct bled by the four winds and organised ei by the sun. or is he a free creative tj personality? His conquest of the ol soil, his control of the great nature A forces, his adaptation and adjust- h< ments, his analysis and synthesis, wit- tt ness his oneness with the physical lo universe; but he handles it rather as g' a creator, as a god, and his very sue- w cess sets him apart from that he con- w trols. So. too, when he investigates m and classifies the forms of life, he tb discovers that he is, and is not, one bi with that he reveals. We read: "And the man gave Is names to all cattle, and to the birds hi of the heavenB, and to every beast Ac of the field; but for man there whs ai not found a helpmeet for him." To Ac have such lightning utterance blaze bi out of the dim past and take its place bl at the bead of our proud modern sci- in ence is significant and tremendously Q* interesting, for it states as a fact in that which our science is rapidly verifying. that by way of knowledge man wi does but isolate himself. He tells the th stars, but himself he cannot tell. T1 He classifies all forms of being etcept al himself. He generalizes everything ou but that which generalizes. The th greater his knowledge, the darker w< the problem he himself becomes, for T1 "it is evident that he is excepted who w< did subject all things unto him." He nu isolates himself. He is dark with ex- do cess of light. He is escaped from a ev universe to which he is organically th ar.d vitally related, for to his confu- n? sion he learns that in all the wide fa ranges of creation there is "not found hs a helpmeet for him"; that this uni- inverse of life and matter implicates ov a deeper undiscovered universe to iGI which something within himself re- sp acts; that except he discover and re- to late this unknown within himself to oT this unknown without himself, he must surely dte. And henceforth hi3 lai quest is become the mad search for ac that which shall be "bone of his bone, th flesh of his flesh." He must find an- nv other being liko himself if ever he is to discover himself, for he must de- ar termine and define himself in terms th of another. th The challenge is imperious, and so th terrible that he can find no rest. He a must go forth! To it he will sacri- m, flee every interest and subordinate wl every desire. His own body he cu pierces; his first born he slays. In mi darkness., in cold, in pain, in wild joy, he seeks to liberate this awful passion which smolders in his bones like it fire?he must find another being like for unto himself?one compacted of his jn own unrevealed being?and his lone- w ly cry, "What am I?" leans across at the abvss. He searches the spaces th for God. stl This nee$ he call spiritual. He or declares that within himself lie cer- su tain imperious qualities and energies; dr love, joy. truth, peace; that these ml must discover and relate to another 4,\ spirit, else life shall turn to ashes. na So we witness in the long process of tr< development that man, every man in jt some measure, tries to interpret the to secret of his spiritual being. The rn; philosopher, the artist, the statesman, the poet, the scientist, the theologian for ?these are the outstanding ones who of have given themselves to the utter- nji most in this mad quest. <,p Out from these many strivings and fS gropings emerges one unique and sig- mi nificant figure, which by its persistency witnesses above all others to wj the solidity and strength of the spir- w) it's need. It is the speaking-prophet, nt whose conventional expression In modern life is the man in the pulpit. pn When we go to church Sunday ' tnovning we accept the pulpit as we accept most things?without much thought. If we give it thought, we see at once that back of the pulpit stands the church. Were we to ques- "e tion the presence of this church and lie pulpit very likely we would say that or we wanted a church and then built it; te that we decided to organize, to bufld. to have a choir, a janitor, perhaps a p} ventilating system, ushers, a Bible *- < school, a prayer meeting, Sunday services, a pulpit, a preacher. ar But this 1b not true. Back of n wl church lies a long historic process. 1>1 without which no church could be wl organized to-day. Out of the clash th of innumerable interests the church nr emerges, not as an arbitrary creation t.i< but by way of a selective process, bl By selection and rejection it bears fit witness to certain powerful and per- dj sistent human meanings. It sums up ra a history; it becomes at last a sym- 1 to'. fo 't'he organised universe as man sees co it is very transitory. Like clouds in la the air, the systems take shape and to disappear. Nothing is stable, nothing as remains. You recall that only the al other pight we were roused from se early sleep by the house rocking on fr its foundation. I leaped to the floor ty only to find it twisting horribly under U1 my feet. Even as I called to the dear as ones, and groped my way through the ri reeling building, I had a vision in the hi darkness of some vast unhuman being m of another creation, who had strayed this way. Her head was lost in the e^ sky-depths, and as she moved acrpss CI the world toward some awful un- m known purpose hor sweeping gar- th ments struck the tiny building in tt which wo lived, and the nolid earth H shook under her tread. Nothing is in stable; nothing remains. The roses ni of to-day are born of yesterday's in death; cities crumble, nations dis- w appear, civilizations perish, planets tfa die. and suns blow in dust down the 11 void. Everything la momentary, ct fleeting; change, decay, death; this is w the order. True of the moth, equally te trije of the star to which it aspires. m (The church witnesses to man's an- w perb and ^thetlc determination to In discover In all this mad movement 11 ultimate meaning to which he rs \ k \ If thia pulpit Is valid, it m hat a searching God and a searc umanity have found aaeh ot Sat they flow together in the aoi man; that .he shall be the mec olnt ot riu and-God; that he i xperlenoe, apprehend and speak nion?this oneness; that he i iterpret God to man; that he i iterpret man to God.

More apoi oust tolic simplicity in our lives would b h conducive of more apostolic tenacit in our faith, and apostolic fervor an filed P?wer in our preaching, and apostoll men efficacy in our prayers. The critic lace always find something to complai all about, even in God's Son and God' I all Word. In this case they had a goo aust BP?W of reason on their side. Th action of Christ's disciples seeme 0f like a violation of at least the lette . ln of the fourth commandment (Deul auBt S: 14; Ex. 31:15). Yet the criticise ting Pharisees, though apparentl a so scriptural, was after all foundei ual upon an Incomplete knowledge of th tjng Scriptures. Jesus answered ther ,ret_ from Scripture. He brought a com and Plete view of Scripture against a one san- sided view of Scripture, a view of th teaching of the Bible as a whol .. against a view built upon isolate' " passages. He showed by the Scrip nt *ure themselves: First, that ceremon ?.: ial prescriptions must give way befor nch nee<l8 ?' man? which they wer . . ordained to subserve. In illustratioi .* ' of this Jesus brings forward the casi of David. Second, that the demand that of TemPle service were supetrior tt that Pre8cr'Pll?ns of the general law He Himself was greater than the tem ' pie, being the one in whom God reall; , ,Z tabernacled (Jno. 7:14, R. V. Marg.) and of whom the temple was only th( , ~ type. The Sabbath law must therefori we give way before the necessities o onR Christian service. Third, that mere; OUj! was more than sacrifice, and so cere monial demands must give way befon tjj0 the demands of mercy and compas iess sion. This is a profound principh illty the ful1 significance of which manj in the church have not learned ewi , at yet. The Pharisees did not under rfu{ stand it, and so condemned the guilt ater less. Fourth, that the Sabbath waj om_ made for man (cf. Mk. 2:27, 28), anc or therefore the Son of Man, the con g or summation and head of the race i of was I-"01*1! even of the Sabbath. Thii lare *ast principle was one the scope o ,1 which was not fully comprehendet [j to after Ills death and resurrection ioso -^s Lord of the Sabbath Jesus has en nan tirely abrogated the seventh day Sab oc. bath, which was a shadow of things t< e j3 come, and which belonged distinctl: the to the old creation. So now we hav< no right to judge any one in respee has to the Sabbath day (Col. 2:16, 17) it As Christians belonging to the new lak- creation "risen with Christ" (Col on? 3:1), we keep the Lord's Day (Rev ntil 1:10), the first day of the week (Acti and 20:7), Resurrection Day. Let thos< and who are under the law keep the sev ker enth day; let those who are undei leso grace keep the first (Gal. 3:10). the II- "It Lawful to Do Good Oi agio the Sabbnth Day," tt-14. Even aftei jly? His conflict with the Pharisees Jesui sp- went to the synagogue. It was Hi; that custom to frequent the synagogue oi ,t is the Sabbath (cf. Lu. 4:16). Here an ring other conflict awaited Him. It wai h'u- introduced by the question, "Is it law ow- ful to heal on the Sabbath day?' cry The question was not asked from ai cry honest desire for information, but t< and get material for an accusation. Bu God the question was important and re 1 he celved an honest and deeply signifl , to cant answer, "It is lawful to do goot on the Sabbath day" (R. V.). Merc: one and love are more than ceremonies one even though those ceremonies be o ices divine appointment. God will hav< , to tnercy and not sacrifice. Love is th< eala aivinest ining m trie universe (1 Jno UMj. 4:8); therefore the demands of di vinely appointed ceremonies inus Ions Bive way before the activities and exi fall 8enc^es ot love, which is itself divine leht ^ower 'aw must yield to higher law ^ag The Pharisees themselves acted upoi this principle v/hen It concerne? lpo_ sheep, but not when it concerned men ' ^ They had not learned that a man L of much more value than a sheep. / j of many haven't learned It yet The Pharisees had no pity for thi poor fellow with the withered hand ?>ns, | njj they saw in his misery was i sven chance t0 entrap Christ.

They could not ac n'a(. cuse Him of working on the Sabbatl line day; for If there was any work doni em_ God Himself must have done it. Je cajj sus had simply spoken, and that wa nar_ not contrary even to tie Pharaisai helr interpretation of the Sabbath law ?.e;. But though the Pharisees were si lenccd they were not satisfied.
