ju THE PULPIT. |- / / A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY I / REV LYNN HAROLD HOUGH. Theme: The Theologian's Task. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Tn the Summer, field M. E. Church Sunday morning the pastor, the Rev. Lynn Harold k Hough, preached on "The Theologian's Supreme Task." The text was from II. Corinthians 10:5: "Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." Mr. Hough said: The theologian has a multitude of tasks. His world has room for many a Htarules. In its vast fields there is a st\ ijnons to infinite toil and there I is opportunity for high and varied achievement. In his hand the theologian holds a book which he is to master and to interpret. This is no sim. pie achievement. The work enlarges and divides itself until this hook becomes the creator of vocations. Sometimes the theologian is a student of detail. With the microscope of his scholarship he applies himself to the mastery of the words weaving across the pages of the book. Nothing about their life or history is too small to claim his attention. For this work he needs large resources. In the Old Testament field, all the Semi nt iu 11 images iinve :un 10 give mm. In the New all Greek literature may he ltvid under tribute. A grammarian with eye alert for the slightest shades of meaning, he toils with natience through the years. He builds libraries and grows gray?whole generations Of him have grown gray?in accomplishing this task. Sometimes the theologian is a student of the problem of authorship, weighing the evidenceof useof words, of point of view, and the historical background pre-supnosed in particular portions of the Scriptures, and so rescuing buried documents from the Hexateuch or discovering the unknown prophet of the Exile. Sometimes he is a Biblical theologian in the more formal sense, studying the theological outlook of different periods, and scientifically setting forth the teaching of the various authors of the book. At his summons the prophets once more wa'.k before us: Amos, with his passion for righteousness; Hosea, the prophet of the suffering love of God; Isaiah, stalwart statesman prophet in the nation's crisis; Jeremiah, against whose bent bare life the awful blasts beat in ' fury, and the sunrise pronhet of the Exile, with face aglow with light and heart athrob with His great message of vicarious suffering; these, with all the other figures of that wonderful Old Testament life, and out of it all God. with His hi"h righteousness and tender love, engaged for generations is the training of a people?a great, divinely guided history pointing more and more clearly forward to a Coming One, who is to be at once its explanation and its goal. The ideas of the various men who spoke to the nation, the outlook of different periods, and the way of looking at life and the things of God which in a general way characterizes the whole Old Testament time, the Biblical theologian makes clear to us. Then at last the New Testament life?the majestic figure of the Spotless One. with the winsomeness of oromer numanuy, and the awesomeness of the divine?the great Redemp "J tion Deed, before which we hide our faces?a deed in which infinite love, (Infinite woe, infinite righteousness and infinite hope speak forever to the world. Following Christ, the men with lives struck into flame from His, their words and work as redemptive begin their conquests in history. Then, ere we close the pages of the book, a glimpse of the "light never Been on sea or land," from Jerusalem he golden. From all this pageant of great figures and great deeds, with its j one sunreme figure and one sunreme deed, the meaning is extracted so that the teaching about life which comes from Jesus and which is given by the ^ various New Testament authors, is set systematically before us, and at last continued In such fashion that we i come to see and appreciate the New Testament point of view. I Sometimes the theologian is a historian tracing the life of the church i through the burden-laden years, or the movement of its thought as it has ceaselessly grappled with the profc* lenis of the faith. The ages become articulate through his toil and the I past comes before lis, flung warm from his pen. > There are great and necessary tasks, and master minds have been devoted to them. There are great tasks and stepping stones to a higher ?the supreme task of all. There comes one great demand to the theologian. When the wonder of i the book shines out and the power of Its teachings is fell?as the oast beI comes real?then the present stands waiting. This past must be poured Infn tho 1Sf/? a f fn.flnv the *1" 'took?the faith of the interpreted to the ' life A tation is not to be i; a p istianity in some mer- ?. Every thought i is tc to captivity to the obec t. Christianity is eithi on of all life?the key nothing. And to ShOT it "Th '><-. lent of God in 5 Acct reason solves for tuestions in the s?--' ? it of it" to c I, organic view of ij; life, * the essentials of Christianity, this is the superb work to which the theologian is called. We neeu to ince the fact that the i*. world cannot permanently accept a f. religion which is smaller than life. To refuse like the distinguished Gerrman theologian, Albreeht Ritschl, to relate Christian truth to scientific : truth, Is to sign the death warrant of ' the faith. - Does it seem an ambitious thins- to r ' demand s Christ dominated and a cross - dominated universe? AnyP thing less means that when the fog has lifted from men's thoughts there j, will be a Christless universe and a hopeless universe. To take a meta\ , physically divine Christ, an atoning ' death, an actual resurrection, a triuIV... W . - . ? > - - JvA.. Itr of rich and perfect personal God life, an actual salvation from actual sin: a new life for men. a great ultimate goal in Christ, and with these to unlock every door in this universe ?this is the supreme task of the theoloeian. What is to be his relation to men? He is to be a student of all life and of all literature. He listens?oh. so eagerly!?to every voice of humanity. He studies intently its deeds in order to understand what they all .mean. Thus lie discovers that the very structure of life, as it is. demands what Christianity offers, and that without it. life is a boneless enigma. His great apologetic is that the closer you get to the centre of human life, the . iusci you gee co tne need of Christ. The real in life and literature comes at last to one great yearning?sometimes an unconscious yearning, but a yearning still?for Christ. What is the theologian's relation to Christian experience? This is the central fact of his life and thought. The faith has brought to him and to others salvation, and fn the radiant light of that fact he interprets it. To express in all its relations the philosophy of the total Christian experience of the church, is a brief way of defining svstematic theology. This inner life of the church is a power in deciding the great problems of theology, and a necessary guide in the interpretation of the Bible. The theologian ever studies Christian consciousness that he may adequately express it. What is his relation to the Bible? Tt has a vital, but not a mechanical authority. The Bible is not his nope. It vindicates its authority as God's Word, as God's unique revelation, because It, and it alone, brings the message which gives complete peace and leads humanity to its goal. The theologian must be true to the whole Biblical message about Redemption. He must be true to it because it requires all of it to meet fully the needs of men. Reverent criticism has no terrors for him. He gladly accepts its justified results, but builds his own work far below all criticism on the great rock of certainty, the met need of the race, which criticism cannot touch. A tentative criticism may seem to put in doubt some fundamental. The ultimate criticism will confirm them all. What is the theologian's relation to philosophy? He accepts the philosophical system which seems most perfectly to explain the data of existence. But he demands that his philosophy shall be as large as all life? all the Christian facts, as well as all the other facts of life. His passion for reality saves him from a one-sided ? * - * *" * " oui.cieiuTB 10 any pnuosopuical sys- | tem at the expense of truth. What is* his relation to science? As a classification he accepts and uses it. When it presumes to call a classification an explanation, when it insists that what is merely a description of the method in which God works is a self-sustaining process, he parts company with it. He knows that science can classify, but cannot ex- ! plain. Explanation is the task of philosophy and theology. Now can we get a conception of the greatness of the systematic theologian's work? Christian experience, the Bible, human life, the best philosophy he can attain?these he relates, combines and fuses, and constructs a living world-view. "He sees life steadily and sees it whole." Phillips Brooks defined preaching as giving j truth through personality. The in- i terpreter of Christianity is to give theology through personality. All of it is to bp passed through his own life?life cf head, heart and will, and is to come forth as a personal message to the world. Thus it is to be set on fire, and so blazing , and shining with power it will secure the attention and eager interest of men. The theology of the graveyard has > no message fo ranv age. A dynamic, living theology has a message for every age. Our own age is busy and brilliant, but it is doubting, suffering and sinning for all that.. And when j the theologian speaks in a voice ring- I | ing with reality, it will listen to him, and will be guided to the Christ, who 1 alone can give it peace. A Word Fitly Spoken. A lady once writing to a young man in the navy who was almost a stranger, thought: "Shall I close this i as anybody would; or shall I say a word for my Master?" And lifting up her heart for a moment she wrote telling him that his constant change ! ?l scene and place was an apt illusi tration of the words, "Here have we | no continuing city." and asked wheth: er he could say: "I seek one to come." i Tremblingly she folded it and sent it ; off. Back came the answer: "Thank | you so much for those kind words. I j ant an orphan, and no one has spoken i to me like that since my mother die 1 i long years ago." The word, like an j arrow shot at venture, reached its mark, and the young man shortly afi ter rejoiced in the fulness of Gospel peace.?Pittsburg Christian Advocate. Why We Do Not Pray Hotter. One reason we do not pray better, I suppose, is that we are afraid of being answered. It is a very serious thing to pray, because we may be . taken at our word. We must consent that God should order the answer. For instance: I pray in the morning that God will make me very useful to-day; it is a hazardous prayer; I may be taken at my word. Within an hnnr T mnv ho nolloH ^ great usefulness, that will take a hundred dollars from my bank account. Now. if 1 don't want to take that money if it is called for. I have made a mistake in my prayer. Let us say what we mean.?Alexander McKeuzie. Silent Victories.

Bn EXPOSITION.?I. Two Sowers, 24, a 25. Here, as in the preceding lesson, tin Jesus appears as a sower of good (e| seed; but in the preceding parable j0| "the seed is the Word of God;" in this parable "the good seed are the '1 sons of the kingdom" (v. 38). But * . the sons of the kingdom are them- 'l11 selves the product of the Word of an God (Jas. 1:18; I Pet. 1:23); so that !>1< there is a close connection between X< the two parables and the two sow- ((f ings. It is by sowing "the Word of ju. God" that the Son of man sows "sons .. of the kingdom." There are in this world "sons of the kingdom" only _ because Jesus had sown them. The world is "His field." He lias pur- A chased it by His blood; the devil has forfeited it by his unfaithfulness. But the devil does not like to relinquish the world of which he was once the prince (Jno. 12:31). But the E world belongs to Christ, "the sons of B the evil one" are sown in it, but they don't belong in it, and when the harvest comes they will be gathered out ' and sent to their own place. There is deep significance in two words in * verse 25, "His enemy." The devil is # our enemy, but he is primarily Christ's enemy. There is no one J7 whom he hates as he hates the Son of If God. Christ receives what the devil R aspired to, the worship of the uni- ? verse (Heb. 1:6; Itev. 5:11-13; comp. Matt. 4:9; Ez. 2S:1G, 17). The vi devil seeks to caricature and thwart P Christ's work at every step. Christ Jr sows good seed in His field, the devil h< conies by stealth and sows tares. The tn parable brings out very clearly the ei personality of the devil, the certainty *e of his existence, the malignity of his M heart, the activity of his movements, the cunning of his operations, the subtletv of his methods. If there ts P not a personal devil, the enemy of ^ Christ, this parable Is meaningless. > There is absolutely no necessity in *the drapery of the parable to bring L him in. He is in the parable because ? he exists in fact. The tares in the *< world are his work. Christ sows = "sons of the kingdom" by sowing good seed, "the Word of God;" the a devil sows "sons of the evil one" by w sowing bad seed, doubts and ques- jM tions and error (Gen. 3:1,4; 2 Thess. 2:9, 10). The devil did his work "while men slept." He always acts te under cover and while men are off ti guard. He does much of his work to-day while Christians and ministers are dozing. He brings in the subtleties of disguised infidelity ("higher uj criticism," etc.) and masked pantheism ' while we are nodding, and some day m. we wake up to find the "tares" spring- Pl in? up everywhere among the wheat. When the devil had done his work ho ki "went away." He got out of sight. ai; He always does. He even stirs up some to argue that "there isn't any devil anyway." II. T wo Crops Growing Together, CI 20-20. There are just two classes of na men: "Sons of the kingdom" or ed "children of God," and "sons of the evil one" (v. 3S. R. V.), or "children c of the devil" (1 John, 3:10). The two classes are not always distin- Tl guishable or separable at the outset fo (vs. 29, 30), but they will be distin- hi< guished and separated when they are ripe, the one for heaven and the other for hell. But it will, fortunately, be j'" the angels and not men who do the 1 et'iJurciims \ v. i l ). instory iur* nishes countless instances of the wj devil's sowing tares among Christ's wheat (e. g., J no. 13:2; Acts 5:3; a,, 20:29). Both history and the Word of God warn us against deciding that all that appears "among the wheat" "J, must itself be wheat. While the ?' tares were not distinguishable from the wheat until they began to grow, they were tares from the very first, fa There were those who wished to root ]?. up the tares at once, but the time was .,j not ripe, nor were they competent to j do the task. There are those who in , haste long to extirpate "the sons of ''' the evil one" at once from the world, but the Master says, "let them both ll> grow together until the harvest." Premature separation, by religious persecution, would mean injury to wheat as well as destruction to tares. This history has abundantly proven. This parable does not forbid church discipline. "The field is"?not the church, but "the world" (v. 38). Church discipline Is positively commanded in the Bible (1 Cor. 5:3-5, 11; Rom. 16:17; 2 Thess, 3:6, 14). In the delay in separating the chaff from the wheat we have another illustration of God's long-suffering (cf. 2 Pet. 3:9). III. Two Harvests, 30, 35, 30-41. Separation comes at last. It Is "in the end of the age" (v. 39, R. V. Marg.). "The reapers are the angels." They are to be the ministers of God's boundless grace towards "trie sons or the kingdom" and the executioners of His wrath towards "the sons of the evil one." The tares are to be "gathered" and the wheat is to be "gathered;" but the one for burning in "the furnace of fire," where there is inconsolable grief and impotent rage (v. 42), the other into God's storehouse, "the kingdom of their Father," where "they shall shine forsh as the sun." Is the fire literal? It is in the interpretation of the parable as well as in the parable itself. Evil is not to gradually disappear from the world, but to grow side by side with the wheat "until the harvest." More Than Knowledge. Good nature is worth more than, knowledge, more than money, to the persons who possess it. and certainly, to everybody who dwells with them.
