;c- : ?> . -: . i A SERMON FOR SUNDAY A DISCOURSE ENTITLED *AN OLD QUESTION FOR THE NEW ACE." The Rev. C. R. McNally Talks Instructively on a Subject of Vital Importance to Us All? The Highest Type of Life is That Spent For Others. Brooklyn, NT. Y.?In the Sixth Avcnr? Baptist Church Sunday morning, the pastor, the Rev. Charles R. MeXallv preached *vr? "Art hnostinn t,-?r the Ne\V Ace. His text was from John x:24: "If Thou he the Christ, tell us plainly." Mr. MeXally i said: * The men who asked this question were dead in earnest. They asked it because the answer was of vital import to them. That word ''Christ" was laden with a wealth of fheaning for these Jewish questioners. Our word Christ is the offspring . of-the Greek "Christos," which in its turn inherits all the meaning that the Hebrew embodied in his word "Messiah." Around this, word for hundreds of years ail Jewish life, political and religious, had centered. The Psalmists had made it the dominant note in many of their sweetest songs. Its multi-colored shadings had formed the warp and woof of prophetic visions. The mother as she lulled her little one to sleep sang of a Messianic hope. The little lad as he eame to his father's knee asking for a tale had his imagination fired by the story of what would be when Messiah j should come. More than the name of Cromwell or Wesley to England, and of Washington or Edwards to America, was the name of Messiah to a Jew, for it was at once the battle cry of his political liberties and the keynote of his religion. The Jews as they thought of the Messiah may be divided into two classes, those whose conception was predominantly religious and spiritual, and those whose thought was predominantly political. I ' sav predominantly because the two views were commonly blended. The more spiritual ^ioped for the deliverance of the nations from the bondage of sin, and the religious supremacy of the Jewish nation through the ministry of the Messiah, while the less religious looked for the political pre-eminence of the Jews under the leadership of the Messianic King. However divergent the views, in two things all were agreed?the coming of the Messiah meant Jewish pre-eminence, and he in his coming would be the especially anointed of God, havjng the powers, the words and the spirit of God, he was to be the instrument of God. the voice of God's will to and for the-jjation. Earlier in the history of the naticpa he conception was more spiritual, but/by the time of the coming of Jesus of Nazareth their, hope had lost its higher and mere spiritual character. One morning toward the close of His earthly ministry, when the chilling blasts of winter had driven Him from the open courts of the temnle to a sheltered spot. Jesus, the now far famed teacher and claimant of Messianic honors, might have been seen pacing up and down the paved inelosure known as Solomon's Porch. It wai the feast of dedication and the fathers of the nation were gathered in Jerusalem. There was miK-h agitation and conflict among them. The fame and claim of Jesus of Nazareth was known to all. % Many of these very men had followed in the crowds to see and bear Him. The more spiritual had felt a strange stirring of the soul in response to the call of this strange teacher to a purer and more exalted life, but surely thev reasoned this could not be the Christ-i-He was so different from what they had expected the Christ to b?. The Jess religious were even more puzzled. The life ef Jesus from the creature comfort side was nothing to be envied. 'Thev could find nothing to explain the aim of this Teacher with His subversive teaching. Of one thing thev were sure. He was a dangerous man. for while by implication and even apenly He claimed to be the Christ, He in no way corresponded to their idea of what the Christ should be. Surely He was rot the Messiah of God! Upon what could 6uch a man as this base such a claim! While Jesus paced thoughtfully up and down within the porch He was quicklv surrounded by an eager, pressing crowd, some intense wito yearning for assurance and satisfaction^? soul, others dark with the clouds of stricken conscience and the maliciousness of disappointed hatred. ^Notwithstanding their varied feelings, all alike were -anxious to ply Him with questions. Eagerly thev pressed unon Him the vital question "How long wilt Thou hold us in susp^pse?" literally, "How long wilt Thou lift up our souls ?*' excite us, hold us between hope and fear? "If Thou really art the Christ, then tell us plainly." Such is the inevitable question which must be asked by every soul when brought face to face with the claim ?f Jesus to be the Christ of God. Was He the anointed of W?o PT<? "thp TCintr'fi Son" whe WU? ?? MU -?-J~ ? r ? ? should be called "Wonderful, counselor, the mighty God, the evarlasting Father, the orince of peace?" Was He indeed the. Christ, or was He an imposter or a weakling, ilhisioned by the fervor of Hi* own enthusiasms? These questions as old as Christianity are vital to our day and hour. If He is not the Christ we mav be done with Him and go ?ur wav. If He ii in very truth "the anointed," "tne sent o: God." we are bound to listen to His voice as the voice of God, to leans His precepts and obey. To our question "Art Thou the Christ?' Jesus makes answer; note His words: "I told you, but ye believe not/' The immediate appeal of Jesus was to His ver bal attestation of His Meseiahship. A1 ready He had told them that God was Hi; Father, that the Father vead sent Hirr into the world in His name, to establisl His kingdom among men. but they woulc not believe. Of what use was it to tel them that which they had already heard and had refused to believe? Nor was it al together strange that His verbal attesta tion of His Messialiship was not readily ac cepted, for His assertion to be one wit! God was a most startling one. Men giv< credence slowly to the claims of others ,they must see reasons or they will not be lieve. Should a man come to our Nations Government claiming to be the Ambassa dor of England the first thing that woulc be required of him would be that he shoulc furnish credentials. Failing to furnisl them he would be laughed at for a fool Jesus saw that He must f&und His clain ?fkun Rii oa suiflviuiii^ muiu LUU*VUHM verbal attestation. He recognized the ne cessity for Droof and furnishes that proo in His words "the works that I do in Father's name, these bear witness of Me/ This anpeal of Jesus to His works as proo that He was the Christ requires that w< for a moment examine them. Strenuous efforts have been made durinj this, the new ace. to read out of the work of Jesus all that is supernatural and di vine. He is unintelligible* -we are told, un less accounted for on human grounds alone Consider, then, that when viewed in th< light of human action. His works wen beautiful and powerful beyond compare and in themselves point to a higher divim life.. The advanced thinkers of our da; have, within comparatively few years reached the conclusion that the highes type of life is that which they call altruis tic. i. e., a life spent for "others. Thi highest personal life is realized only a that life, forgetting self, rises above sel and exhauses itself for others. The ethica world rejoices in this newly found truth Go back 1900 years and there you will fin One-wbose days were spent in doing other good. Follow Jesus through His ministry and yon will soon discover that vou ar foll<?ring the footsteps ?f the world's on unselfish man and Its greatest p'nilanthrc pist. Every act is designed to help an other., Yon seek for the least trace c selfishness "in ^in. Every work bears th seal of humanity's best. Indeed, so fa Are, they above the world's best that the. bring in their wake sw?et thoughts o God. See Him as He works. A littl ' . '?. V" t . , -f* ^ * while ago He f:d the hungering thousands. It was but yesterday He touched new life into the maniac boy and smoothed the deep furrows from a father's brov.-. This morn He drove the lever from the sick one in Peter's home, and mayhap, ere the day is done He will whisper the hope of a pure and holy life to the harlot at the well. We have not too much thought of the works of Jesus as the acts of one fellow man toward others. When viewed according to this standard they are seen to be the highest realization of man's highest ideal. Christ was wise when He said. "Behold My works," for according to the findings of the best thought of all the ages no works at^e more beautiful or nigher God. The mere force, beauty and holiness of His acts prove His kinship with the divine. But this was not enough to satisfy a dew. The Christ they were looking for was to demonstrate His divine power by the might and conquest of arms. They had it all cut and dried just what the Christ should be and do. He was suddenly to ap! pear out of the heavens or out of some sej questered way of life, attended by great 1 TTT!l-L i-l- ? I wonders. Wltu lue nnum to overrun the -world and set up in Jerusalem a power that would rule all nations. Any love or philanthropy that could he worked in would be all right, but before all else Messiah must be the messenger of God's wrath against the nations, visiting them with defeat and disaster, that the Jew might rule supreme. Thus it was that to the questioners of His day Jesus proved to be a stumbling block. Did they find in Him a more than human Dower? Yes. they conceded that they did. As they saw Him restore the emaciated body of the leper. ?r infuse new life into the palsied form or open the eves of the blind, or raise the dead from the grave, they were bound to recognize a more than human power. The gross and malicious said this power is of the devil, hut the more intelligent said, as they saw the unselfishness, the love and tenderness of His acts, "We have never seen it done on i this wise before!" "No man could do j these works except God be with him!" "Surely this must be the Christ!" Theanswer of Jesus to the questioners of His day given in the terms of love, an answer I which they would not or could not under- j stand, is that which satisfies the heart and ' reason of the innuirer of to-day. It is as i though Jesus said. "You ask if I am really the Christ of God and in Him yon look j for divine power. Look at My works, are they not of the highest type? Aye, more. | tkev are fraught with the power of God and prove, not only that I am the Christ, but that the nature of God is better than the thought of man has made him. He is a God of tenderness, of love." Blessed answer, for it teaches that character 16 supreme, and that the highect life is one of simple ministry to the needs of others. To the irtouirer of to-day the answer of Jesus should be convincing. Since it.is ours to look from the mountain peak of many centuries we may, however, ?ee still other proofs and find still other answers to the all important question. "Was Jesus the Christ?" History gives a twofold an?*? ? capti in the preparation of the world for the coming of tie Messiah and then in the development of the world's thought since the days of Jesus. Paul declares that "when the fulness of time was come. God sent forth His Son" into the world. By the fulness ef time he must have meant the period ttiat w : to elanse, according to the wisdom of God, before His Son, the Christ, should come. Now, if' Jesus was the Christ, we raav exoect te find the circumstances of the time in which He lived peculiarly fitted for His coming. What-were these circumstances? The vast "Roman empire afforded a broad and accessible field for the^ spread of a new religion. The sceptre of Roman power ruled the world. Radiating from Rome as a centre were splendid military roads which extended to the remotest'boundaries of the emnire. Because of these and the opening of ocean routes travel was easy as compared with preceding centuries. People traveled more. Thus facilities for disseminating a new truth were better tbau ever before in the world's history. But the most notable preparation was that of the Jewish people. They had long striven with their desire to worship idols. At last their vision was clarified in this regard. and the way. was open for a further revelation. Moreover, the discerning among them, from reading the annals ef their fathers, had come to long for the promised Messiah until that longing was kindled to a fervent heat. All these things peculiarly'fitted the time'in. which Jesus lived for the reception and spread of great religious truths. Nor is history since that time less remarkable. He died a death of shame: none could according to the common notion be more ignominious or disgraceful. His friends apparently were few. That He * * AA ? ?.??U oAam nafc [| would SOOIl oe iorguiwrii r>uuui o- ? i ural. But it was not so. His followers > multiplied with marvelous rapidity. Per' secutionS; began and thousands of them : were burned, roasted, speared and given i over to wild beasts. Notwithstanding all , this, within 300 years ene-twentieth part . of the empire were professed Christians, ! the Emoeror himself among the number, i From that time until the present Cnris: tianity nvd civilization have gone hand in I hand. Manv of the great upheavals, of I the world's life is the story of Christianity ; asserting herself against the powers that s ' would stay her triumphant march; It was F so in the time of Charlemagne, of Luther. ; of Cromwell and of Plymouth Rock. The > lines of history converge toward Jesus Christ. In all things truly He has pre' eminence. Furelv, this must be the Christ. From the historic point of view was He ; not more than man? His works and the - voice of'history declare Jesus to be the r God-man. . V s If there still be a lingering doubt in the t mind of any that Jesus is the Christ, "the } King's Son," let him study the human heart | and its deepest needs and his doubts will | fly. Sin like a sombre cloud ca9ts a dark1 ened shadow across every life. Man has * ever found himself gripped in the re'ent* less grasp of an evil nature. None is ex erupt. All alike are tarred with the one * black stick. If a man tells you he has not ? a sinful nature get a little closer and yon I will detect the odor of the tar so familiar * to yourself. Congratulate ourselves as we i. - may upon our goodness, it is stm a iac-b - that we are by nature sinful. But while j this is true, it is also true that man feels 1 stirring within him a higher and holier na1 tare. He feels within a purpose to be other and better than he is. Before him 1 he sees the ideal of ? holy character, a nas ture wholly free from sin. and that nature " he feels to be akin te God. f Now look at Jesus in the light of these 7 facts. His days are one long sequence of ' holy thoughts and perfect deeds. In Him f you look for sinfulness in vain. In Him f there is no fault, not the shadow of a thought that man can brand as sinful. ? This at once differentiates Him from all * others. In Him man finds his ideal ex" pressed. Let the heart once come in touch * with J?esus and ifc needs no other answer ' to its questions. In Eim it is satisfied. e What it would have. Jesus already has. e In touch with Him the soul must keep if > it would have its needs supplied, and its 5 liigher life realized. Surely He who alone 7 realizes life's ideal and satisfies the needs and aspirations of the heart must be the t Christ. Oh. soul, have you the assurance '* this morning from need supplied, ideals e sanctified and heart satisfied, that Jesus 8 is the Christ? Believe Him for His word | has been eiven. If not for this believe ' Him for His work's sake- If still you L doubt, consult the testimony of history e and of the human heart, and your soul, re8 spending to His divine touchfc will surely y cry out. *'Yes.

Ke tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometime in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and pain acrossdown my left leg [ji ? - as far as the knee."

So Mr. Plangman's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but t om to believe now that it wan first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination." Then he relates how the doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars.
