AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE BY DS
CHARLES H. PARKHURST..
? i s
8nfeject of the Distinguished N?w York
Clergyman's Sermon* " What Think
Ye ot Christ ? "?Why So Many People
Get Tired of Being Christians.
New York City.?Dr. Charlei H. Parki
knrst. Dastbr of the Madison Sauare Pres
byteriau Church, preached Sunday morning
on "What Think Ye of Christ T" from the
words found in Mark viii:29: "Whom say
\ ye that I am?" Dr. Parkhurst said among
other things:
Christ means to you something; what is
it?
Christ Himself asks this of His disci pies.
It is the first Christian catechism. Brief,
but nevertheless it is catechism, and is
1 God's warrant for our asking doctrinal
questions, and His warrant, too, for our
being prepared to frame some sort of an
answer to them.
Christ's inquiry here means that He expects
His disciples to have convictions?
convictions in regard to Himself at any
rate?and definite enough for them to be
able to state them. Such convictions may
be more correct, may be less so, but an imperfect
opinion is better than none, and no
opinion ends in being perfect that did not
begin by being imperfect, and sound conviction
is blunder convicted and converted.
4 Everything human begins in a mistake.
Error is the loamy soil out of which truth
vegetates and blossoms. The history of
philosophy, science and theology illustrates
this "principle with a distinct eogency that
is unanswerable. So that we need not be
too much afraid of being in error provided
only we cling to our error with a tenacity
that is not simply tenacious, but that is
also honest and intelligent.
What think ye of Christ? His appeal
here is to man considered as an animal who
thinks, who has ideas, ideas of his own,
takes impressions from what is shown him,
told to him, acted out before him, and impressions
that so groove themselves into
nis substance as to take defined shape and
snape that is fairly permanent. Just as
objects make an image of themselves in the
eye, so facts, events, truths, make an image
of themselves in the mind?that is,
tbey do if the mind is an alert mind, sensitive,
responsive. A man can, of course,
look without seeing anything; so he can
hrar without learning anything; live in the
presence of great realities and come away
from them without carrying upon his soul
any of their imprint. An ox can look toward
the west at 6 o'clock in the afternoon
without observing any sunset; there ;s a
good deal of the bovine still in most of us
that call ourselves human, and that is why
we behold so little of what is reallv visible
and why we garner so little of the fruit
that falls into our laps. A duck can go
through the water ana still come out dry.
A boy can go through college without any
of the college going through bim. Judas
walked three years with Je$us and finished
? by being a devil.
What think ve of Christ? He wants to
find out from His disciples, then, what impression
pf Himself He has left with them,
what stamp He has put upon them. What
they think of Him will be only another
name for the record of Himself that His
teachings and demeanor have left printed
nnnn their intelligences. I am trving to
have you realize tHat their opinion of Bim
that He was trying to get hold of was
tomething definitely traceable to the
working influence upon them of His own
presence and activity. He is not interested
to know what they imagine Him to be,
nor what they logically iruer He may be,
nor what some one has told them that He
is. He has been for some time demonstrating
Himself to them by word, act and
Sirit, and if they are not altogether like
e duck in the water or the ox before the
sunset, as presumably they are not, this
demonstration of Himself to them has in
some way told upon them, it has lodged
something within them, and He wants
them to give a name to it. "Their opinion
of Him w^s something that He had Himself
been the means of making to grow up
in them without their consciously having
any part in the matter themselves. It was
not something .""hey had borrowed from'
somewhere nor :omething that they had
personally striven to acquire.
Opinion, then, if it is anything more
than mere quotation, copy of what some
one else has thought, is one of the things
that grows. The influence that starts the
conviction will, if it continues to operate,
go on adding to that conviction's strength
and intensity. As illustrative of this compare
the feebleness and timorousness of
the convictions of the disciples when they
2 began to believe in Jesus with what those
convictions were when at the end of their
course they laid down their lives in martyrdom.
That is the natural course of
things. It is natural for a flower to continue
to grow if it stands in the same sunC
shine and rain as that which first made it
begin to grow. If a flower comes up out
of the ground, grows for a day and then
suddenly stops growing and remains as it
is, you know something is the mattereither
there is a tSorm at the root or the
air too cold or the soil too dry. It is not
natural for it not to go on improving upon
itself, adding to itself.
It is a sorry condition, then, that a man
i3 in, that a Christian believer is in, when
he says that he has the same opinion of
* Christ that he had a year ago. It tells a
sad story of the way the year has been
passing with him. If the vine that is twin.
ang itself around your trellis clothes itself
in no more leaves and puts forth no more
blossoms this summer than it did last summer,
the season must have been an infelicitous
one for plant life or there i6 some,
thing serious tne matter with the vine.
I nave in this been speaking broadly of
conviction in general, but of course the
reference specifically intended is to religious
conviction, and more specifics?ioM0ill
to the conviction contemplated when the
question was asked, "What think ye of
Christ?" We doubtless all of 'us have
some conviction respecting Him; that is,
we ail of us possess among our other coroodities
and belongings?either out on the
table or tucked away in some drawer or
closet or stored in the garret among other
-1 disused furniture or obsolete bric-a-brac?
. something which we called (and properly
call) a belief in Christ, an opinion about
Him, a conviction concerning Him. We
are willing to assume, too, that it may be
a vArv valid conviction. sound, vea. thor
oughlv in the terms of Scripture. Yes. but
granting all that, is there any of to-day's
sap in it or is it an antiquity?
?. It means a great deal to say of a man's
Christian conviction that it is a living conviction,
that it is going on to-day maintaining
a continuous life, freshly ministered
to and daily supplied by communications
* from the sanurdivine source that first initiated
it. A dead conviction we have to
lug around?a conviction that is alive takes
us around. It means a continuous sense
of the reality of that to which our conviction
fastens. It brings everything down
to date and sets it out in front of us.
Memory does not have to be appealed to
to recall it, nor books, manuscripts, catechisms
rummaged through in order to authenticate
it. It is an imbedded impulse
tL .t keeps pushing and that goes on pushing
with an ever accelerated pace and a
widening energy while we stand near
enough to Him whom we Delieve in to have
His presence made ever more immediate
to us. His reality more real to us. It is
for that reason that some believers can believe
very nicely and yet behave very bad
ly. There is not the slightest incompatibility
between being orthodox and being villainous,
only in order that that may be
poesib'e the orthodoxy in question must be
a dead orthodoxy, last year's leaf though
sti1? glued to this year's tree.
t When Christ taugnt us to pray "Give us
this aay our daily bread" He probably
meant us to understand that in the spiritual
life as well as in the stomach continu%
' .r..- 5;"* " " ' r ' ' '-* "
oas health means consecutive supply. JThere
is no incompatibility between your parlor
being- brilliantly luminous at noon and
black with Egyptian darkness at midnight.
Light is not laid on in fast colors; neither
is the light of God, and the. heavenly radiance
that was upon us in 1902 is no guarantee
against devilish blackness being upon
us in 1903. Even Christ's power over us is
valid only for the time that it is over us,
so that the liveliest kind of orthodoxy,
provided it is merely a mummified residuum
froifi an extinct experience, is no
kind . of an embarrassment to the very
liveliest kind of depravity. It is all right
to believe in the doctrine of perseverance
of the saints that persevere, but that doctrine,
applied in cold literalism, has done
as much as any one thing nerhsps to prevent
their persevering. If the. money a
man has in his pocket to-day is thought by
him to be sufficient to pay all his debts,
defray all his expenses and secure all desired
comforts and luxuries for an indefi
nite time to come he will feel 110 incentive
to going out and earning a couple of dollars
to-morrow, and so his confidence in the
absolute and everlasting sufficiency of his
present pocket containing may easily issue
in his turning pauner. Those illustra-.
tions only serve to indicate what J mean
by saying that a man may be as orthodox
as Calvin and as wicked as he knows how.
The principle we have been discussing
also explains why it is that so many people
who show a good deal of Christian zest at
the start so soon get" tired of being Chris*
tians. To have earnest views of Christ and
to be intensely interested in them and controlled
by them cannot,vunfortunatelv. be
taken as a certain sign of the continuance
of that interest. The falling off. the cooling
down of Christian enthusiasm is common
experience. Even the disciples, at
Jesus' temporary withdrawal from them
at crucifixion, threw up the whole matter,
resumed their old life and went back to
their fishing. Interest is not self-sustaining.
Enthusiasm, like a burning candle,
eonsumes itself'in its own heat. The sun.
so astronomer? tell us. would burn itself
out and our systems fall back into original'
darkness were not special provision made
for keeping up the sun's temperahire.

At toe same time tnere jut: uues ui cxfort
and employment where interest, cm
the contrary, never does seem to flag,
where heat is not only maintained, but
| with a mercury that is rather steadily>ra
the rise! Setting aside the familiar and
rather shop worn instance of the money
getter, who; the more he gets, the intenser,
r.s a rule, becomes his ambition to get,
that is only one of the many, pursuits
where the like enhancement of interest,
I mounting up in many cases to the height
of a steadily growing passion, is seen to
evince itself. Examples of this are, I
shonld say, especially frequent among
scholars devoted to the scientific investigation
of nature and nature's beauties and
marvels. But in the instances of such advancing
and steadily intensifying interest
the particular fact I would beg you to notice
is that what "keeps the investigator's
, heart glowing with a warmer and warmer
fervor is not the array of facts that have
been brought distinctly within the range
of his knowledge, that he has been able
definitely to tabulate, and of which in
some time past he has issued a complete
and finished catalogue. It is the constant
stepping forward on to new ground that
keeps his thoughts alert and his fieart
aglow. Whatever it be, the old is alwavs
tiresome, only the new is interesting. To
the naturalist the world retains its fascination,
although an old world, because of the
deeper entrance he day by day gains into
that world and the ever fresh disclosures
! of newly discovered wonderfulness and
beauty that she thereby makes over to
him. In the same wav there are certain
hooks that we read and re-read. In a way
they are old books, but it is not their oldness
that fascinates us but a certain everlasting
newness that lay beyond the reaco
nf nur riTVpiniifi n??niK?ls. HS eves that look
quietly and intensely into the night-sky see
stars that are sunk too deep in the firmament
to be caught by. a first- and easy
glance. And that suggeets-the old holy
book, the Bible, which is always new and
which the church always loves, 'because
l there is that in it always which our last
leading was only on the edge of discovering.
If the church should ever come to the
end of the Bible it would throw it away.
Some people have thrown it away already;
some who. seem to themselves to be
Christians have thrown it away; it seems
I to them they have come to the end of it.
! To them there is nothing new in it any
j more, so, of course, by the princiole we are
I illustrating they can do nothing but throw
i it away. The ox knows enough to feel
when it is dark, but never sees a sunset.
All of this leads up easily to an explanation
of the fact 6tated a moment ago that
so many who have begun to be Christians
get tired of being Christians after a while;
it has ceased to offer them anything new
to which interest can attach and by which
therefore enjoyment can be kept alive.
! They reached a little conviction as to the
| real import of Christ, entered into a ceri
tain amount of relation with Him. had a
ciegre oi experience or Jtiira, iearnea a nctie
of what He could do to strengthen in weakness,
brighten in darkness, comfort in sorrow
and disappointment, and then everything
stopped. Instead of "going on to
know the Lord," drawing closer and closer
to Him, and pressing forward into the
j deeper and deeper meanings involved in
j His Spirit, presence and companionship,
they drew up all that part of the matter,
ruminated only upon such little prospect
as had opened to them, till they became
weary of it, drank the old cup of consolation
till its waters became stale, munched
the drying crumbs of light, strength and
comfort till they were moldy, strained
themselves to keep warm by a fire that
had gone out, and ended, of course, by concluding
that whatever might be the theoretical
value of personal religion it was
nothing if not uninteresting, and people
will not, if they can help it, permanently
commit themselves to a course of drudgery,
#even if that drudgery be baptized by so
honorable a name as Christianity.
Closing this morning with the prayer
that we may all of us feel ourselves moved
by a reverent and holy ambition to break
free from the burden and entanglement of
all the petty and now withered experiences
garnered long ago, entering into ever new
prospects, into larger discernmeuts, into an
ever wider world of knowledge, comfort
and anticipation. To this end may we
have with us in our closets and in onr
sanctuary gatherings the abounding Spirit
of God the Father and of His Son Jesus
Christ, to whom with the Blessed Spirit be
given our obedience, adoration and love
forever and ever. Amen.
A Duty to Be Pleasant.
We are ar' to think that our being
happy or unhappy is something that affects
only ourselves. On the contrary,
neither condition is ever absolute.y confined
to the person who experiences it,
and, unfortunately, the "black edge"
of one's unhappy moods^ iap3 over
on the lives of others. The girl who
comes down to breakfast "feeling blue"
is apt to impart a tinge of the same melancholy
to every one e.se before the meal
is over, and the man or woman who is absorbed
in the contemplation of h.s or her
own troubles, real or fancied, is doinz
something to add to the gloom of a wor.u
that is more lacking in sunshine thatf it
need be. No matter vhat one's private
fcding may be, one can always make an
effort to be pleasant for the sake of other
people's happiness. While the opportunity
of doirrg some great and noble thing
may not often occur, the simple but beautiful
opportunity of being pleasant is al.
mv?vs present.
Others First.
If, in addition to the desire to live day
i by day aright, we wish to add some
pledge, can it not be that self shall sink
into significance, and that the good, the
happiness, the welfare of others, shall
come first?

One-half to the eldest, one-third

vas inventoried it was found to consist
of seventeen elephants. Here
vas a dilemma, for it was impossible
jo divide the property according to
die terms of the will without chop)ing
up the seventeenth elephant. Fi
lally the heirs applied to a wise law- |
rer, Sam Punk, for advice, which they
)ronlised to act upon. Sam Punk had
in elephant of his own. He drove It
nto the yard with the seventeen, and
laid:
"Now, we will suppose that your
lather left these eighteen elephants.
5\im Hum, take your half and depart"
So Funr Hum took nine elephant3
md went his way.
"Now, Nu Pin," said the wise man,
'take your third and depart also."
So Nu Pin took six elephants and
went.
"Now, Ding Bat" said the wise
nan, "take your ninth and begone."
So Ding Bat took two elephants and

A Letter From The {
Peruna if known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and
commendation testifying to the merits of
Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. Dr.
Hartman is receiving hundreds of such
letters dailv. All classes write-these let- (
ters, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher?all agree that Peruna is the catarrh
remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest
enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh
is well nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Peruna
not only cures catarrh, but orevents
it. Every household should be supplied
with this great remedy for coughs, colds
and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continually
in the house. In a recent letter to
Dr. Hartman he say?:
