. * ^ k SEKMON FOR SUNDAY & AN ^ELOQUENT DISCOURSE BY THE RFV. W. S. RAINSFORD, D. D. ?4 ~ Subject: The Love of God?The Christian Chnrch is Placed 1* Trust by God "With the Gospel?Let Us Try to Give It to the World. Brooklyn, X. Y. ? The Rev. W. S. Rainsford, D. D., rector of St. George's P. "F ftiiimfc \fn n V?a n nrpnehed at St. ^ Peter's Church, State and Bond streets, * in this borough, at the evening service Sunday. His subject was "The Love of God," and he said: People are saying to-day that the church does not occupy as important a place in . the thoughts of men?that it has not as in* fluential a place in our nation or in society as it used to have. I speak, of course, of the whole Christian church, and one thing is sure and that is that' the church cannot hold her own by simply asserting, however 4 loudly or persistently, the greatness of her deeds in the past. Whatever success or shortcomings there mav have been in ancient times, one thing is certain, and that is that we live in an age when men almost violently are seeking tne truth; when the keenest sort of light is turned in all directions in search or the truth. When those who have got anything to do can do it; when those who Save got anything to say worth saying can say it, and when those who have got anything to be can be it, but there is no mercy for "the sham. When, in the future, they come to criticise our time it will evidently be criticised as an age of truth, and its spirit will be spoken of as the spirit of truth;, it will be criticised from all other ages as a time when men inade great sacrifices for the truth and when great glory was gained in discovering and obeying the truth. There is no argument among thinkers whatsoever about * this. From this it follows that if we Christians have not got something real to give to the world, to society, to the United States, at this time we arc really going to lose our hold and position; and the question that we want to ask ourselves, individually and collectively, is this. ^What have I got to give to the world'/ What is it ^he church has got to give to the world? I am inclined to think, if I were allowed i to see you, one by one, and ask you to put down what it is on paper: What you as an individual and as a Christian have got to give to the world, and the church as a community? there might be a great deal of 4 uncertainty. Tnat this question is one that deserves a very clear answer there is no doubt, and everybody ought to know what that answer should be. There is no manner of doubt what the church has got to give to the world; what the lncuviauai Christian has got to give to the worid. I want to talk about that to-night. * We, the Christian Church, are placed in trust by God with the gospel. That is what we have got to give to the world. If we are Christians we believe the world cann.ot get on without that gospel. We use the word gospel in a very slipshod way. If we are Chnstians we believe that not only can not the world do without the gospel, but that business and politics and the United States democracy in this Western Hemisphere cannot do without the gospel. A great many people believe that, Out when we ask them to put it into practice, not only by going to church, not by putting a trifle in the plate; not by repeating a creed or two, but to go bacs to their work and see if they cannot take the gospel * with them there. They say, "Business is onfe thing, and religion is another." Men that talk that way nave got to step aside; they are no help either to the churcn or the v "world. They are misleading; they are the people that tend to make the whole thing a sham, because the world won't tolerate, and rightly so, a religion that can confine > itself to certain times and seasons and that can .satisfy itself by obedience to certain consciences on Sunday, and perhaps once a week thrown in. W e have got a definite charge for the world, and that is the gospel of Jesus Christ. That being so, let me lead you to another question, and as I put it I shall seek to answer it: What is the gospel of Jesus Christ? Again"I think you will agree with me, and perhaps more than before. If I were to be allowed to ask the question individually, What is the gospel? and ask for a. definite replv. what a great variety of answers would be given; and many would hesitate. As Christians we certain Jy ought to be able to say what the thing is we stand for, or we stand for nothing; to say what we mean by the gospel, or the * world won't believe at all. In a church, if we have ene great thing in common which we all hold, not because we are various sects, but because we arc Christians, we have got to find out what that Christian thing is. One of the great difficulties?one chief difficult}'?is this: That men, from the Lord's own day to the present, iq the nature of things add their program to the gospel?tack on their programs. We are all so made that we must have a program? I mean our own thinkings about tne gospel. It is right that every believing man should have his own thoughts and theory as to the why, and the how, and the when of the gospel. But my idea of why the gospel was given, my idea as to how the gospel is given and my idea as to when the gospel will be fulfilled is all right. I should nave that right to think my owu thoughts about these three things, but if I am trying to find light they will be unprofitable, and it would be impossible to stand :n the daylight and not answer the questions how, wnv and when. But my how, why and when, even if 1 were the most learned and holy of men in the city of New York, would not necessarily be the gospel of Jesus. The point for us to agree upon is net the how and why and when, but. What is the gospel? What is it we have distinctly in charge for men and have got to give men. and about which it is legitimate that we should say, how, why and when. As I say,, the tendency is rather to tack on our pragram, and that is where the difficulties come in, for in the age in which we live people are rather given to finding out what is gospel and what is program. Episcopa "lians do not believe in the gospel without a bishop; the Presbyterians do not believe in the gospel without the Presbytery; the Baptists do not believe in the gospel without baptism, even in the middle of winter in frozen streets; the Methodists do net believe without Methodism, and so on. There is so much program that you can scarcely see the gospel. Men say: "I do not know which is gospel and which is program." It is absolutely essential that we are to give something to the world or we won't amount to anything and the world will push us aside. We must be men and women proclaiming and trying to live by the gospel. What is the gospel? I am going to repeat a verse that seems to embody the spirit of Jesrus: "God so loved the world that He gave His enly begotten Son, that whoso ever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." The man who vrote the gospel of St. John (we do not know who he was) knew the very essence wf the gospel, and I think everybody agrees with him?tne Presbyterian, the ^Baptist, the Methodist, the Bpis'opalian?everybody believes that it is the very heart .'of the gospel of Jesus. That is the very essence of the dear Lord!s love and life and teaching. It is wkat He began to preach, went' on to preach, died to preach and rose again to preach. That verse says three things. First, J "God loved the world." You say: "I know j it." No, you don't know it. It is a tremendous thing to know."' You say: "I believe it." ' I hope so, but it is a very hard thing to believe. "God loved the world." That does not mean, G?d loves me; God loves the United States (we Americans act V ; V r ^-y^- -V as if that -was what we profoundly believed). "God loved the world" does not mean the elect, "me and my wife, my son John and his wife; we four, no more, amen." Not the people we like, but the heathen Chinee. It does not mean simply that God made this world?that is wonderful?but the gospel says the world is not simply a !aw world, but it is a love world. If any man says it is easy to believe, he does not know much about it. If you lose one whom you love better than yourself it is not easy to believe it is a love world. When some bitter trouble comes, when pain racks your body, when the one thing you lived for is taken away, in the hour of trouble and toil and pain it iu not easy to get up and sav: "I will be a man ' t tnr. r no. after tfie nearr 01 vmm, i?. * lieve that God loves the world; it is a love world.*' I do not believe there is one mother or father that has had experience, who does not know it is not easy to believe at times that God loves the world. But it is the gospel, the great gospel of Jesus Christ. The second thing is this: "'God so loved the world that He gave"?what is the message of Jesus Christ about God giving? It simply means that God docs not superintend the world at a distance, like the old Greek idea of gods set up there in Olympus, where the waters are cool and the air sweet, and there is shade from the burning sun and all that the world needs to gratify the senses. That is the Grecian idea of God. It is not my idea of God at all. We still think of God on His throne, not dwelling down here. As Tennyson says: god into whose nostrils the steam of life hardly comes." God is not away above the world; not superintending the world somewhere outside the world, but the idea is, God is right there where His children I are. Where they suffer, God is; where j they rejoice, God is; where life is sweet, God is: where love is. God is. "God so loved the world that He gave." Nothing costs like giving. A mother gives her babe life, but it costs her much. We give our children the best we have. We give them our pain, the result of hours of toil; we give and are glad to give because we love | them. I say: "What will you give for your son?" You say: "I am uot talking about those things: it is sacrilege; I will give all for my son." There is not a mother in this church who would not give her life for her daughter. There is not a decent man in this church who would not give his last dollar to save his hoy's life or honor?he would give his hand, his me. to mase me boy what he ought to be. '"'God so loved the world that He gave"? How did God give? I do not know. How could God feel pain? I do not know. How could He endure? I do not know. But it is the gospel of Jesus Christ: "God so loved?He gave." j Then I can go out into the world, and it is I not so hard to give. I do not want to suck j the world like an orange. I know every now and then temptation says: "Get that | sweet thing. But life is giving, not taking." That means pain, toil, disappointment?it may be, death. "God so loved? j that He gave." Then I begin to under- j stand. If the God and Father of Jesus i Christ is giving, cannot I give? Cannot that boy, who is thinking only of a good time, begin to give? I remember, long ago, I in the old study at home making up mv 1 mind what my life was going to be. I j longed to be a soldier and follow in the footsteps of my forbears, but it flashed I upon me that I only wanted just to have a good time, and I prayed God for grace to I lead a useful life. We have got to make ' choice between giving life and getting life? j one is the worldly life and the other is the ] Christian life. The whole purpose of God I comes out in giving. Goa Himself is a giver: "God so loved the Wurla that He gave." The third thought: First, the world is a love world; second, love is not simply something looking down, but something indwelling here with us, giving His only begotten Son. What is third? Love victorious. The love of God is not gimply a beautiful, patient pain, a universal thing, but an almighty thing. Back of the love of God is all mighty, all wisdom, all j'esource. God that made the world is the God that says, "Shall not perish." He says whosoever believeth shall not perish. Not the - ? -1? ?+V>n cf r,%n<r Vlllfc | J36TO, me greuu iuc uie^ kuv ov* v*.g; the whole -world of men. If there is anything in me that is worth living, God will keep my life; if nothing, I do not want to I be kept alive. I can go on working, trying J to love, trying to be patient and true, ?na at last I can go to sleep, for "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten I Son that whosoever believeth in Him I might not perish, bat have everlasting J life." Universal life. Now, that you have I got. It is the church's heritage for the world. Let us try to give it, for the world wants it to-day just as badly as it did nineI teen hundred years ago. I Good Home Mission Story. A good story was told at the Bible j Christian missionary meeting held in Lon- | L don. A Salvation Army lass was beating a i J drum in ihe market place of a certain village. The vicar came out and protested. | I " "Are you obliged to beat that drum? It makes such a horrid noise, and I do so die- | like it!" "Are you obliged to ring your church bell on Sundays?" asked the girl. "It makes such a noise, and I don't like it." I "Oh, but," he rejoined, "that's very different; the bell seems to say to the people: 'Come! Come!' that's why I like it." "Well, sir," the Salvation lass rejoined, "I like my drum, because it seems to be ; saying about the people: 'Fetch 'em, fetch 'em!'" Home missions, said the speaker, mean fetching the people who might never come. God's Work Goes On. In the most disastrous periods' of the church there have always been some (a seven thousand, perhaps), who have not bowed the knee to Baal. Ministers may have become corrupt; churches may have been infected with unholy leaven; the i rich and the learned may have been unanimous in their rejection of everything except the mere superficialities of religion; I and yet it will be found that God, who I values the blood of His be-'oved Son too highly to let it remain inoperative, has raised His altar in individual hearts. In the dwellings of the poor, in solitarjr places, in the recesses or valleys and mountains, he has written His name upon regenerated minds; and the incense of their adoration, remote from public notice, has cone silently up to heaven.?T. C. Upham. O - - ^ Secret of Her Power. / What was the secret of such a one's power? What had she done? Absolutely nothing, says Eam's Horn, but radiant smiles, beaming good humor, the tact of divining what every one felt and every one wanted, told that she had got out of self and learned to think of others, so that at one time it showed itself by sweet words, at another by smoothing an invalid's pillow, at another by soothing a sobbing child, j None but sjie saw those things. None but a loving heart could see them. That was the secret of her heavenly power. Level Best an Unworthy Aim. Only'by getting above our usual level can we make the progress we ought. Theroan who merely maintains the level to which, his life has hitherto risen is. at the best, standing still?and that means falling behind, says the Sunday-School Times. '*1 did my level best." is not high enough. Our average ought to be considerably higher, and an average is never raised by being merely equalled. Only by beating our av I erage can wo raise our average. jDener I than my best" is a worthier'standard'than | "nay level best." J True Happiness. Happiness increases on the path of life if it is always advancing toward the perfect bliss.?Arkansas Methodist. THE STRAIN OF WORK. Best of Backs Give Oat Under the Burden of Dally Toil.

Forthcoming Dictionary Compiled by J ' Berlin Academy of Science, ] A brief dispatch from Berlin conveys intelligence which will thrill the heart of every scholar. It announces the near completion of Professor Er- j man's monumental "Dictionary of the \ Ancient Egy ptian Languages." a work endowed by the Kaiser, compiled by the Berlin Academy of Sciences and . aided in no small degree by ithe best ' American erudition. Professor Erman, the editor, is easily the foremost Egyptologist of the world, though he has toiled in a field wherein there has been friendly contention for many years among the scholars of France, England, Germany, Italy-and America. The field has been so fertile thait j the forthcoming dictionary is credited with containing 280,000 wrords or subI jects. We' shrewdly suspect that the I cablegram has confused the Egyptian [ word with the ideogram, which is | only a picture or a pictorial symbol. The oldest records of the Egyptian language date back to about B. C., 4.000, and it did not die out as a tongue until about three centuries ago. Professor Erman's great book will, of course, embrace its long history, and the many changes it under- i went. In one of his own published mono- j a V? a o Vi rvrx-c? Vi riTU I 1 grapus Uil IUC SUUJCll UC ouuna iiw.. the language of the old Egyptian empire was no more intelligible to an Egyptian of the 19tn dynasty, for example, than Latin would be to the average Italian of the present day. Long .after old Egyptian, the classical tongue of the old empire, had ceased to be spoken, it led an artificial life as a learned language, playing much the same part as Latin " played in medieval Europe, and was regularly employed for religious and ! monumental purposes down to the J Roman period. Then followed the j middle Egyptian representing an intermediate stage between the language of the old and new empire. In it most of the old forms and' inflections are retained, but none of the peculiarities of the later speech make their appearance, this being the NeoEgyptian or popular language about B. C. 1500-1000. It is represented by a number of papyri containing tales, letters and legal documents. From about B. C. 700 to the Christian era the language of the Egyptian people was the demotic, about which comparatively little is known; and it was succeeded by the language of Christian Egypt, or Coptic, written in "a modification of the Greek alphabet with the addition of characters derived from the demotic. As a spoken lanenaee it Derished about 300 years 1 ago, but is srill employed in the rit- 1 ual of the Coptic church.?F'hiiadel- j j phia Ledger, 11 To cure, or mo T ' . -7.*; - '-7.77. :->.v>;v ? n Tree Distillery. * On the Canary Islands grows a fountain tree, a tree most needed in some parts of the islands. It is said that the leaves constantly distill a quantity of water that is sufficient to'furnish drink to every living creature in Hiero. nature having provided this remedy for the drought of the island. Every morning near this part of the island a cloud of mist arises from the sea, which the winds force against the steep cliff on which this tree grows, and it is from tne mist that the tree distills the water. China, too, claims her remarkable tree. This is known as the tallow tree, so called from the fact of it producing a substance like tallow, and which serves the same purpose, is of the same consistency, color and smell. On the island of Lewchew grows a tree about the size of a common cherry tree, which possesses the peculiarity of changing the color of its blossoms. At one time the flower assumes the tint of the lily, and again shortly takes the color of the rose. In Thibet there is' a most curious tree, known as the tree of the thousand images. Its leaves are covered with well defined characters of the Thibetan alphabet. It is of great age and the only one .of its kind known there. Rats as Poison Immunes.

Next day another correspondent pointed out that, owing to a slight technical error, the argument was not so convincing as it might otherwise have been.
