The Rer. C. D. Case, Ph. D., Tells Hovr
the Son of Gdd Within Us Becomes
the Source of Divine Companionship,
ssd of Power For Achievement.

ttt. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church,
Montclair, N. J., recently preached the
following brilliant sermon, which he entitled
"Vital Union With Christ." The
L * text was chosen from Galatians ii:20: "I
w am crucified with Christ and I no ionger
live, but Christ liveth in me, and the life
k. which I now live I live by faith in the
Son of God who loved me and gave Himj
self to die for me." Dr. Case said:
The highest conception of the Christian
life which this generation seems to have
accepted is to be found in the words, "Follow
Me," as uttered by Christ. It is
thoroughly Biblical. Jesus says to Philip.
? at the beginning of His ministry, "Follow
Me;" He tells the four on the sands of
Galilee, "Come ye after Me;" He commands
the taxgatherer in his office, "Follow
Me;" He presents the same standard
to the rich young man who loved his
money better than life, "Follow Me." Now
the resurrection has passed and what shall
# (be the new conception for the disciples
of the new life? It is still the same, and
-<Ghrist proclaims to the same disciples at
the same place on Galilee, "Follow thou
Me." * |
The grand and infinitely simple way of,
looking at the Christian life haa been lost,
fie was the true Christian who! believed ;
" , what the church told him and accepted
its appointed means of grace. But now !
'after these centuries Christendom has re- j
. covered this idea and made it the very cen-:
tre and core of the Christian life. Mr.
Henry Richards, on the Congo, reads to j
<he natives the words of Christ, "Give to '
* feim that asketh of thee; and of him that
Jaketh away thy goods ask them not
gain/' and then proceeds to practice
Jtbem, with the result that the natives !
first beg and then return and then ask
for the way of life. Mr. W. T. Stead,
.while in his London jail, wonders what he
hall write to the girl whom he has succeeded
in placing in a Christian home, and
kt last, by a flash of insight, writes her,
* "Be a Christ." Charles M. Sheldon presents
as the ideal of every life, to act as
Christ would act if He were here in our
place.
y What is the trouble with this concep.
tion? This, that it represents the statics
"* 'feufc not the dynamics of the Christian life,
tells U3 what to be like, but does not
itell us how we shall become like our ideal,
fiant thought that th$ same man who of
deliberate choice accepted evil could with
the same deliberate choice and by simple
.will accept good when he saw it. This is
* E fine philosophy, but a poor religion. It
does not explain Gough, MeAuley, Hadlev.
pives us the ideal, but not the power to
embody the ideal.
Listen to this statement and see if you
can find a better one to express this idea
of following Christ: "Religion cannot
fee said to have made a bad choice in
pitching upon this man as the ideal representative
and guide of humanity; nor even
jh>w would it be easy even for aa unbeliever
to find a better translation of the
fettle of virtue from the abstract into the
" ?J- ? a- ik.f
concrete mail to enaeavor ?u 10 u?c iuai
jObrist could approve of our life," And
yet it was no less a person than J. S. Mill,
t ten unbeliever, who wrote , this.
1 The text of the haoming presents the
needed complementary conception. He*
Sho is presented as an objective ideal beimes
a subjective presence and power.
He who said, "As Thou hast sent Me into
(the world, even so have I sent them into
Pie world," says with the "Go," the "Lo,
am with you all the days."
. The Bible represents this union fcrdif'*+
Iferent ways. Now it is thai of the foundation
and the superstructure signifying
eupport; now the body and head, meaning
direction: now of the husband-^nd. wife, representing
union; now of the vine and
kanch, signifying the communication of
f life; and finally, most tenderly and mysteriously,
of the relation between the
father and Son. In whatever way it is
tepoken of it is evidently an essential phase
of the Christian life.
- Dr. A. J. Gordon once saw what lie
called a parable "of nature up in a part
* !?f New England where he spent his summer
holidays. It was an example of natural
grafting. Two little saplings grew
up sine by side. Through the action of
the wind the bark of each became wound cd,
the sap began to mingle and at last
t ,<on a still aay they were firinly compacted.
jThen the stronger began to absorb the life
'of the weaker. It grew larger and larger
IwluEle the other grew smaller and smaller;
Hhen began to wither and decline till finally
it dropped away and disappeared. Now.
tthere are two trunks at the bottom and
only one at the top. Death has taken
* ,eway the one: life has triumphed in the
other. The illustration thus given by Dr.
Gordon only fails in not giving sufficient
importance to the words "I live" of the
text. The religious, life is not self-immolation,
but self-realizatioa. It is not absorption,
but amplification.
Without thinking for the present of the
unvarying condition of this life, "crucifixion
with Christ," or the motive of such
living, "Christ loved us and died for us,"
or the means of such living, "faith in the

of the single sublime thought, our union
with Christ and its bearings upon the different
phases of the Christian life. This
ire mast for the present emphasize if we
are to have a pure evangelical Christianity
.which shall move the world.
First, note that Christ within us is the
source of true divine companionship.
The appearance of Christ after the resurrection
had .two definite purposes. The
? Iff8'. was *? convince the disciples that
Christ" was truly alive, or. in other word*.
*o connect the past Christ with the present
Christ. The angels-diad assured them
that Jesus would go into Galilee there
to meet them. As soon as faith had aci
c^pted these words of both Christ and the.
v. angels the disciples would leave Jerusa-.
lem; but this did not take place until after.
*" a week.
The second deGnite object of Christ's"
appearances was to' te.ieh the disciples the
spiritual nature o$ the kingdom, or. if:
otheiywards.to cormeci the present Christ
with * the future Christ. Among such
teachings are the words. "Follow Me."
; spoken to the seven in Galilee: the promise
to all, "Lo, 1 am with you all the days."
i and the command that they should not
depart from Jerusalem, but "wait for the
promise of the Father, which. He said, ye
Save heard of Me." A glance back into
the fourteenth chapter of John show?
what this promise was. The sixteenth
verse saj"s: "I will pray the Father and
He shall give you another comforter, that
He may abide with you forever." But of
whose presence is the Spirit the embodi?
ment? The eighteenth verse says: 'Twill
leave you comfortless; I will come to
you." Then the twentieth assures the
disciples: "At that day ye shall know
that I am in My Father, and ye m Me and
I in you." Thus Christ's objective companionship
becomes a subjective fellow*
* ship.
How closely can two people, heart to
heart, be together? There is always the
veil of the tlesh between. All ure can do is
t? interpret looks, words, and sometimes
' our judgment is wrong even on those nearest
to us. We all walk a solitary way. Few

^f;v>-- * ' -: . ; . - '
Then it is that Christ Himself comes closer
than breathing, nearer than hands or
feet, comes into the innermost recesses of
our nature for sympathy and communion
with the human heart.
Christ within us is also the source of
power. Christ does not give us power by
making mere machines of us. We are the
i clay in the potter's hands, but we are something
rnore.^ God does not want us to be
slaves, but freemen; not subjects, but sons.
An equally false way of considering the *
help that we receive from God is that we
are to do all that we can with our natural
or redeemed powers, and then let God do
the rest. So the longer we .ive, the stronger
we are and the less we need Cod's interposition.
Every time God helps us, we
are less of a man or woman, and the stronger
we grow the morejndependent, and the
less we need faith. The end of it all would
be absolute independence of God. Surely,
this is not God's idea.
The true way of looking upon our relation
to Christ is that His presence within
our heart by faith gives us energy to
achieve, not by enslaving, but by enfranchising
the will, invigorating it, energizing
it, vitalizing it, until with Augustine we
can say: "We will, but God works the
willing; we work, but God works the
working."
Pbilippians. 2: 12, 13. has often been misunderstood.
It says: "Work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling. For it
is God which worketh in you both, to will
and do of His good pleasure." To "work
out" does not mean to work into outward
expression what God puts within us, but
as it literally means, to "achieve" for salvation
is an achievement as well as being
at the same time a gift. Nor does it mean
that we are to work in Paul's absence.
The possibility of working out our salvation
rests upon the fact that God is within,
so that we can will and do of His good
pleasure. Thus, will is not an instrument
which we can turn from side to side, and
which when necessary God can use* it is
ourselves acting. That which God does is
.not. our act unless God works through our
wills.
The possibilities of such au empowered
life are divine. We need not be perfectionists
and still believe as we ought that
Christ's grace* is sufficient for us. Many
pretend to believe it, and do not live it.
They worry, they fret, they give up. The
most of us" seem to think that the normal
Christian life is to rise and fall like the
fi/1 oc V*f cavQ' "There hath no I
temptation befallen you but such as is common
to man; but God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be tempted above that
ye are able; but will with t&e temptation
also make a way of escape, that ye may
be able to bear it."
Christ within also makes all living sacred.
We have made sad divisions among
objects. We have divided space into holy
and unholy, and declared tnat God coulii
be found only in certain places, which had
been consecrated. We have divided time
into holy and secular, declaring that we
would serve God on the Sabbath and conduct
our business and amusements as we
pleased the rest of the week. We have divided
money into two parts. We have said
that the giving of the one-tenth, or onetwentieth
to God, iustified us in the claim
! of unlimited freedom in the disposition
! of the rest. We have divided up persons,
and put a certain class of people called
priests, ministers, missionaries, upon pedestals,
declaring that the standard of conduct
for them differed from the standard
i for others, and that their work was especially
religious.
All wrong. Ail space is holy, and the
green grass may be tae chancel carpet and
the trees the massive pillars and the sky
the dome, if below there is a heart praying
in spirit and truth. Ail time is sacred.
The Monday should be as much devoted to
God's service as Sunday, and the ofiice and
the store ahould be as roucn shrines of
- devotion as the closet. All money is sacred*
and the money spent upon the necessaries
of life, upon business and pleasure
should be spent with eoual consciousness
as upon the church. AH Christians have
Christ within them, and they should aim
to objectify His life. There is nothing we
need to-day quite as much as the Christianization
of the secular life.
...Then at last, the Christ within is the
"source' of final holiness. Christ at last
is to present us holy and unblamable, and
improvable in His sight.
Sin does two things for us. separates
us from God and distorts our nature. When
we are forgiven wc are restored to the di}
vine fellowship. But what about the ef;
fects of sin upon our nature? See the
j scars upon the tree and what the life of
! the tree does for it. Listen to what Paul
says: *'I am perplexed until Christ oe
formed within yon." As Christ had His
Bethiehem, His Nazareth, His Olivet, so
J does He again in His reincarnation have
' His Bethlehem, His Nazareth, His Olivet.
Who knows whv one plant prows into the
geranium, and the other into the rose? The
type is something more than the ideal presented
for the imitation of the plant. It
is an informing life.
I think it was the last thing that Dr.
A. S. Gumbert wrote for the Examiner:
"Among the Dutch the rose was sometimes
cultivated by planting an inferior rose
close to a rose of superior variety. Tbe
rose of inferior quality was carefully
watched and anthers remo\ed to avoid
self-pollenization: the object being that
it should be pollenized bv the superior
rose. Gradually the rose thus treated took
npon itself the characteristics of the superior
life of its companion." So, our lives
1 are pollenized as it were by His righteousness.
Thus Christ within becomes to us the
source of divine companionship, of power
for achievement, of the exaltation of conduet,
of final holiness. He who wishes
to plant hope within his own heart of such
I .prospects, shouid oegm anu UCVCA ccaov |

Overcoming Worry,

J reasoning can go a great way in overcoming
(worry. .1 do jpot mean a deep and mysterious
philosophy, but/a simply,application
of common tacts which appeal to in.
telligence.* These facts, are such as the
I following: '."Worry can do no good. You

{-Worry unfits you for hard work, and hard
i wcFk is the surest power to make' wrong
j things right. 'It is foolish to /waste time
f and strength in doing that Which only
I leaves one kjss time and less strength/'
i .But "there is also a sweeter philosophy
1 which deals with principles of right and
j balance. It shows how things go crooked
i sometimes, that the final result may be
more beautiful. It suggests how by some
j wisdom greater than ours wrongs, or aDparent
wrongs, are finally righted. It

i Our life may be food to us, or may. if
we have it so, be poison, but one or the

visiting me asked me to try Peruna-and 1
did so, and found it all and more than 1
had expected. It not only cured me of the ' fWm

built up the entire system and brought-a.
t happy feeling of buoyancy which I haa not
known for years."?Alice M. Dressier.
