The Borneo of Hie world-wide ap
peal of Christianity lies, in largo
measure, la its adapt ability (o tho
needs of nil men and in tin- fact that
In it nil tln> most exalted truths of
nneionl and modern philosophies aro
ervstali/od and culmlnntrd. And no
wIkti' is t Ms more markedly demon
strated than in tho parables. No
man can light a candle hut tlx* words
of Jesus blaze up In tho llamo. Think
l'or a moniont how out of place and
incongruous now patches aro oil old
garments Tho parable of tho good
Samaritan lias lod us ofton con
sciously. more often unconsciously,
to loud tho weak and tho fallen the
helping hand
Tho parables roach all 111011 be
cause thoy depict and portray aivl
depend for form upon tho world.
Its actlvitios and Its people. Thoy
are the product not of speculation
hut of vital objective and subjective
human experience. They are the
epitomo of all that we see and hear
and feel within us.
Add to this that tho parables are
pungnnt, cogent, profound, positive
and pointed; and you have the keys
to their Influence.
The parables of Christ are pun
frent. That Is to say they cut deep.
When Jesus started to May sin or to
declare truth lie went beneath tho
surface of things apparent. Tho
parable prices the surface and draws
blood. The stool of Toledo or Shof
Held or Damascus never made a
deeper or :i cleaner cut. than the
stinging language and tho caustic
truths of tho parables made, and yet
do make, into the vitals of sin. Let
the self-righteous man testify to tho
wrlthlngs of his soul under the lash
of the scorn of Christ. Let him who
Is wasting his talents toll of tho
piercing words of Christ t6i liltu.
Truth cuts. The parables of Christ
declare tho truth and thus our sins
are slashed.
The parables of Christ are cogent,
and for two reasons. Words*, I care
not what may be their language
or their grammar, nro potout Just In
iiio proportion that.^ they bear a
freight of truth,, mirror for us in
language the many facts of life, und
compelling)}*. No man is there so
hard but he yields deference to truth.
Sin shrinks from the light and sin
ners see in slnlessness their hearts'
best desires. Tho touch of truth
transforms illiteracy and lends it
charm and cogency. Language is
never so magnificent, so moving, so
Inspiring as when modiatlng truth
to men. What to us Is tho halting,
ungrnmmatical. mishandled English
if, so bo, the light of truth irradiates
ilio speech! And. on tho other haiuk
what to us is the smooth, melli
fluous language; what to us .are arts
of polished rhetoric and of tho solf
polsed, gifted orator; what to us uro
the graceful gesture and the win
Romeness of voice. If the speech
lend aid to evil and tho speaker's
heart be black'.' Truth cuts and It
also counts. Pretense shears lan
guage of power. Immorality of llfo
or opinion damages effect. All the
gifts and graces In tho world cannot
avail to make the wrong acceptable
to the pure and true In heart. The
parables are cogent. Their truth
forever sways the human mind.
Philosophy has never yet surpassed
them for they are the crown and tho
consummation of immortal truths.
Tho child can read and understand
and find therein a scheme for life.
And how truo to life the parables
are. Portrayal Is powerful unto in
Muenco. The touch of experience
makes the wjiole world kin. That
word picture holds most which re
veals most. Tho kindergarten of
language is full o? verbal photo
graphs. What pictures are to the
babe the parables aro to us. The
charm of tho printed picture of the
horse depends upon the vision of tho
quadruped that the child has en
Joyed. The power of the parable lies
in itr. reproduction of the facts of
life around us. No man knows so
well tl.w value of a sure foundation
as he who has built upon a cheap
and tllmsy footing course. That
friend of yours who is wasting God
given opportunities has a keen ap
preciation of a wastefulneso that
Christ both portrayed and con
demned. Put your candle beneath i
a basket some night and then tell
me how much light you recelva from
it. My brother, that wa.a pretty poor
fodder even for swine which we en
deavored to subsist upon before tvo
rushed back homo to God, wasn't it?
The pal-abbs *nre photographs; true,
faithful, convincing reproductions of
our own experiences and of human
ity's. Therefore they aro cogcxit and
powerful, v
The projtounaest thoughts are thd
tuost roj/ut for influence upon the
11v?? h of men. Tho deepest truth,
for which wo have to dig, attract*
us moftl. Tho parables aro profound.
They proisont a field not for tho grub
hx? hut for tho pick. Tho search
for truth leads a man, nvo compel*
him, to cease ploeor mining and to
Kink a shaft. Truth is to ho found
most plentifully beneath tho.suffice.
And 1uk^ as tho sight of pay dirt In
the pan bonds the minor Into the
depth* tor more so tho appropriation
and appreciation, hy the aoekdr after
truth, of surface .voritios impels bint
to search deeper. The parables are
deep. They not only <Jopict external
eonditlons and portray, the visible
and objective lads of ltfo but they
also clothe and conceal a wealth of
uiisi'ou truth that must he searched
out t<i he scoured. The ring and the
.calf and tho cloak and the feast
hut toll in sUjr^tho outward evl
donce of the ra{li*r>)^ love. Wo for
get the sluiopiwhen we hear the
voij-o of (Sod. Don't bother with tho
veast; thinly* pi' tho spiritual uplift
we would have and would become
personally if we had tho fullness of
tho kingdom of heaven within us.
Tho parables are profound. Jf you
are unconvinced. Just follow one of
them to the end of its Implications,
under the guidttneo of tho Spirit.
Tho positiveness of 1 lie parables
Is refreshing. There is no hesitancy
about them. The Lord was certain
that men could understand them if
tljoy would. Me was sure that they
fnlrrored life and would have a real- -
appeal to men. Furthermore thero
van *no doubt in tho mind of Christ
that they eontaincd a measure of .
ppiritual truth which any man, under
the inlluenee of tho Snirlt, might:
easily discern. No man has to think
twice to understand that it. Is not
only unfair but also wrong to make
no use or feeble use of divinely be
fltowed capacities. There la mis
taking the assurance that the parablo
affords the man who puts his trust
in riches, that ho is a fool. Is there
any doubt as to tho opinion Cod has
or those Pharisees who bless their
stars they are a little better than
the common herd? The action of
the yeast in tho dough presents a
strong picture ot the power of truth.
Those things that are cogent and
positive almost always have point.
The parables are pointed. They are
both sharp and well alined. They,
do not boat around the bush or be- '<
fog the issue. They make straight
for tho mark. The sower and hi?
seed reflect tho Gospel and our
hearts. The joy at the finding of
tho money is llko to the Joy of the
Father over tho lost who are found.
The drawnot and its catch ought to
make us less susceptible to class
and social distinctions, and more
cognizant of the fact, that the king
dom of Cod is for all men. The
spectacle of the cautious king who
took tally of his troops should re
veal clearly that wo cannot serve
Jeans without spiritual preparation.
Those ten virgins ought to warn u?
that death-bed repentances are risky.,
just as certainly as tho tale Matthew
tolls us of tho vineyard workmen
and their hire admonishes us that
we should bo cheerful not churlish
because men who have been bad in
this life enter repOntaht, by tho
grace of God, Into equal salvation
at the end of evil lives. The-.
un
parables have point and being well '
barbed and feathered they Uy true " '
and stick. Full of life, nnd redact- -
lng life, they carry truth lastingly
to our hearts.
Profound, pointed, positive, the ,
pungent parables of Christ are co^-f
gent. They are powerful to arrest ?
attention and to hold it, and to ?*">
stimulate our thought. To appre
ciate them best and for them to'
bo most of benefit to us we must
enter into tho mind of Christ. Filled
with Ills Spirit and dominated by
His love we shall ever discover won
ders, comfort, peace. Inspiration In
Ills truth. For Jesus is tho master
teacher of tho ages. He is tho pro
foundest philosopher of the world.
Men may not accept Christian, the
ology concerning Him, they may not
accept Him as a Saviour in the Chris
tian uso of the term; but' wherover
there is a man of philosophic ability,
whomever there is a mind of surpass
ing Intellectual clarity, thero in
Christ honored for His insight, Hia
Intellectual acumen. His intensity
of soul. The parables of Jesus are
tbo messages of a philosopher and a
Saviour.
The Christian's Ascent*
The Christian life is a continual
renewal, but only as wo walk up &
mountain is a continual ascent, and,
if tho mountain is immeasurable,
then, of course, the summit'la never
reached, but. If the ascent is ever*
forward, it is a privilege, not a hard
ship, that we can continue to aacmd.
