\ A SEililON FOR SUNDAY
an eloquent d scourse entitled,
"glorifying the father."
jPreaohetl by the Kev, Dr. Thomas 1?. McLeod,
of Brooklyn, N. Y.-W'e Can
\ Make God Ileal, "We Can Make the
Gospel Sublime.
_ Brooklyn, X. Y?Upon his return to
his pulpit from his vacation, the Key. Dr.
a nomas ?i. jucijeoa, pasior 01 tne wmiun
Avenue Congregational Church, preached
* an eloquent sermon Sunday morning on
"Glorifying the Father." The text was
chosen from John xv:S: "Herein is My
Father glorified that ye bear' much fruit,
so shall ye be My disciples." Dr. McLeod
? said:
How vital, dear friends, are all Xew
* Testament representations of religion!
^ Compare the Xew Testament with the ethical
teaching, or religious teaching of all
other books in this respect, and you are
simply astonished. There is nothing mechanical
in them, nothing formal, nothing
institutional?every process is a process of
life. It is no use for a man, or for men, to
claim that they have Abraham for their
l'atbcr. Religion is not a matter of who a
man's ancestors were; it is a matter or
what a man himself is. Jesus has given us
> in one pithy sentence His estimate of the
worth of the claim that is based on descent,
on heredity, on social prestige, when
He says that God could raise up, or make
children, unto Abraham out of the very
stones of the roadside. The concern that
interests God, when it comes to the matter
of religion, is whether a- man is a living
? plant or a dead stick. The hedge, though
at be a hedge of flowers or roses, in which
? the stake occurs, does not make the stake
a living thing. The line of descent in
which a man stands, nor the social posi
tion he occupies, nor the church of which
he is an attendant, or a member, is nothing.
The man may after all be nothing
better than a dead stake in a hedge.
There was a certain fine man, a fine man
socially, religiously, politically?one of the
vw.-*r\ ir-Ckr* f mo fn
UVSt Ui U1CU as alien naiii vuuiv ...
to make inquiry on the subject of religion.
He was reverent and devout and respectful
and courteous and cultured and learned,
a leader and teacher of the people, a lec"turer
on ethics, but when it came to reli^
gion, Jesus said to that man, '"Ye must be
Born again." The vitality of the representation
we find in the New Testament rpliSion
is its life; "I have come that ye might
ave life, and that ye might have it more
abundantly."
And so of tests. Not simply of the repx
rescntations or descriptions of religion, but
also of the tests, the New Testament tests
of religion. How are we to know that we
are living Christians? How are we to
know that others are living Christians?
Why, the New Testament pushes us up to
1 the point of urgent belief, and insists on
it, that the test is fruit, not leaves, not
flowers, but fruit, and that fruitfulness is
the only essential thing that shall triumph
under the test. Jesus may endure barrenness
outside of the church, but He cannot
> endure it inside of the church. A bramble
in the woods is bearable, but a bramble in
the orchard, that is intolerable. "By their
fruits ye shall know them. Men do not
gather figs of thistles or grapes of thorns."
"The man of God is perfect, fruitful unto
all good works."
i How little stress Jesus lays upon those
tests that are so universally adopted and
applied, and admitted to be sufficiently ad?
equate; attendance upon religious ordinances,
subscription to creed and statement,
routine observance of rites and ceremonies ;
He makes nothing of all that, and He
comes to us, friends, just as He came to
the fruitless, leafy fig tree by the wayside,
searching for fruit, not for leaves, not for
blossoms, not for florescence, not for es?
thetic delight in sacred music, not for fondness
of the literary side of religion, not for
a keen appetite for well digested and pre%
sented truth, but for fruit?fruit, and He
comes up closer to us, friends, than anybody
else can come?than our dearest and
nearest can come?for, after, all, these can
. see only outside appearances. He sees reali
itics. They see things that pass for good
works in us, born, it may be, of wicked
ambition or of self-conceit. He sees right
down into the centre of the soul, and He is
looking for fruit. What shall lie find ia
you and me? Fruit or leaves, or just bare
Drarches?
* The test is fruitfulness. Now that ough t
to be an easy, test to apply, and it surely,
friends, is a safe test to apply?for you and
me to apply to our own selves. But then,
some one may say, "Well, what constitutes
fruitfulness? I am ready now to lay bare
my soul before God; I am ready now to go
1, down on my face before God and apply the
test; I am ready now for heart-searching,
and to measure myself by this standard,
but I want to know what constitutes
fruitfulness." "What are the fruits that (
Jesus expects and that I am to look for j
and by which I am to measure myself?"
Why, the Bib'e is simply full of that. It
has set the whole thing so plain, and so
fully, and so variously that a wayfaring
man though a fool ?eed not mistake as to
what fruitfulness :n the Christian life is.
Jesus says, "Blesse^ are the poor in spirit."
Come now. we are examining ourselves
about the fruits. "Blessed are the poor in
spirit; blessed are the meek; blessed arc
the merciful (the good hearted); blessed
are the pure in heart; blessed are the
peacemakers; b'esscd are they who have
.4. ? -.N5 <? ?ali"cVi nr>TL- nnrl tVl#?r? Vlllt 8.

hunger and a thirst after righteousness?
Tightness. These are the fruits that the
Christian man is expected to grow in his
character.
An apostle says, the fruits, or the fruit
of the spirit, is love, joy, long suffering,
patience, meekness, faith, temperance. The
fruit that the Christian is to develop, that
will be developed, that Jesus will expect if
there be life?love?the heart of all srood
ness?love to God and love to man. "Who
loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how shall he love God?how can he love
God whom he hath not seen?" Fruit: love
? ?ioy. Joy in fellowship with God; joy in
fellowship with believers; joy in service
and ministry. Love?jov?peace. Contentment
of mind under all circumstances; the
harmony of conviction, of thought and affection.
Long suffering ? natient endurance
not only in affliction, hut patient endurance
of wrong and provocation; and
meekness and temperance and all the rest.
What does fruitfulness mean? It means
simply the development or achievement of
character that will approve itself to God.
But this growth of character does not exhaust
the expectation of Christ concerning
us. It does not exhaust the fruit which
the Christian has to bear. There is other
fruit.. You read that passage again and yon
will see that" the te^-or of it has to do with
fellowship?fellowship with Jesus, fellowTTja
nnrnnsa to redeem this world
414 *-*ll-' r ? r -? -- - from
sin. Jesus is not thinking altogether I
of the good His disciples are to pet through
fellowship with Him. but He is thinking
also of the pood which His d'sciples are to
do through fellowship with Him. Not altogether
of what His disciples are to receive,
but of what His disciples are to achieve.
"Except the branch abide in the vine it
brineeth forth no fruit. If ye abide in Me
and My words abide in you, ye shall bring
forth much fruit."
Oh, friends, we limit the range of the
Christian life, and our hearts and minds
are so set upon getting, getting, getting?
enjoying, enjoying, enjoying?that we are
deaf" to the words of Christ concerning doing,
doing, doing. Apart from the vine the
branch can bear no fruit: apart from the
branch the vine cannot bear fruit. And
here, friends, we come up to something
that ought to bring you and me very lowly
before Cod. Lowly, not so much with the
ser.?e of mortification and penitence, but
with a kind of exultant joy. It befits as to
cQsizie always our dependence upea Christ.
.-v 4
but here we have Christ confessing His dependence
on us. Marvelous thing! "The
branch cannot bear of itself except it abide
:n the vine," and the vine cannot bear
fruit without the branches. The Apostle
Paul nuts that thought in another form
when lie says: "Ye arc the body of Christ,
and members?each severally?members of
that body." Apart from the body the
members perish. There is no power in the
hand, no vision in the eye, no power in the
ear to hear the voice of God apart from
the body. V."e are the body of Christ: we
are the organization through which Christ
1... ? - ___ ,.1.~

Christ builds up His kingdom on the earth.
We are the hands of Christ. Christ wants,
j Christ desires to feed the hungry, and
clothe the naked, and visit the sick, and
build homes for the homeless, and open
prison doors for those in captivity, but
supposing: the hands of the Lord be parj
alyzed, how can He do these things? We
j are the voice of Christ. Christ wants to
publish abroad to the end of the earth the
message of God's love and the way of salvation,
but if the voice be silent, how can
He do it?
We talk about the mercy of God having
no limitation. We talk about the bourdless
pity of God. and we do well, but the
pity of God and the mercy of God have
their limitations. Not according to the distorted
Calvinism which our fathers believed.
God's mercy is infinite: God's pity is
boundless: His love extends to all men?
that we believe: in that declaration we
glory; we count it the very flower and coronation
of our religion. And yet God's
mercy is limited. His compassion is bounded,
His pity is shortened by us?by us. According
as we are willing or unwilling is
the limitlessness of the love of God.
Let us take a homely illustration. Here
is a friend?a man whom you have always
known, a classmate it may be in school, an
associate in business?and he has fallen
upon evil times and everything that he
spent his life in accumulating is gone. You
are rich, you are perfectly able to put that
man on his feet again: to give him a second
chance and another start; you are
God's elected minister for that purpose.
But you don't do it. God is kindly disposed
to that man; God would help that
man, and He_has put you in a position to
help him. ?ou are Jiis nanus; you are
God's ministering agency, but you limit
God's'goodness, don't you?
God is very pitiful, very pitiful. Ric7t^
men can feed poor men, but they don't do
it. No manna falis from heaven to feed
those poor men. They starve. God is
wondrously pitiful, and there are strong
people who are perfectly able to help and
comfort -weak and sickly people, but these
sickly people die for lack of help. No ministering
angel comes down to cool their fever
and heal them. Don't you see that we,
God's hand, God's voice, the branches and
twigs of the vine, limit the fruitfulness of
the vine, limit the power of the Almighty?
"Herein is Mv Father glorified, that ye
bear much fruit, so shall ye be My disciples."
Friends, the thought is appalling:
it oppresses me. When I look at that
from one side I am terrified to think that
the thing that God wanted done yesterday
is not done through my neglect.
And yet there is encouragement here for
us all. Apart from the vine the branch
withers: it can do nothing. Abiding in the
vine, the branch bringeth forth much fruit,
and we may abide and we may glorify our
Father. Glorify Him. Make Him shine
with radiance and beauty in the eyes of
man. Make God manifest. We can make
God real; we can make the gospel sublime
in the eyes of those who are living without
it. W7e can so tell the story; we can so
live our religion; we can so manifest the
grace of God in our lives; we can so let
our light shine that others?our neighbors
and friends, our children and relativesshall
glorify our Father in heaven.
God Only Is Perfect.
Perfection, in every absolute sense, cannot
bo found among men?it abides only
r_;_ 1 1
witn VxOQ. -vian. at uis ucst, nut
An heir of immortality, he is imprisoned
into time. Candidate for sainthood, he
has a heritage of s n and corruption from
the generations of the past. Called to do
all things through God strengthening him,
he finds that the spirit is willing but: the
flesh is weak. Countless perils menace the
voyage of the perfectionist. Presumptuous
sins often have dominion over him, when
he thinks it is not robbery to be equal
with God and share with the absolute the
attributes of divinity. . Spiritual pride
leads him to moral ruin when he is persuaded
to forget the hour of prayer because
of his conceit that with him every
breath is a prayer. The Man of Nazareth
was so far from this vanity that He spent
whole nights in communion with God on
the mountains and in solitary places apart
from His companions. The perfectionist,
again, is deceived when he materializes the
things of God. by asserting for the saints
below an earthly empire over disease ar.d J
death and by claiming a part in the political
rule of the quick-coming Christ ia a
millenial reign at Jerusalem.
Increasing God's Opportunities.
Some one has said that "each human life
is another opportunity for God to display
His grace ar.d power." So it is, and toe
thought will grow upon you as you meditate
upon it. Just think, "I am God's opportunity!"
Isn't it wonderful? Isn't it
glorious? When wo look at others whom
God has richly blessed and honored in service
we can see how it is. but do we ever
think of ourselves as God's opportunity ?
Every one that responds to God's call,
"Come!" gives God a larger place in the
world.
Every one who obeys God's command,
"Go!" assists God in gaining a larger pia.ee
in the hearts of men. Every regenerated
heart and life is a new garden in which
God plants His seeds of love and grace; a

streams of healing power.
Take it home, dear young friend, and
say to yourself, "I am God's opportunity." J
Be that and your life will become unutrerably
grand and your experience unspeakably
sweet.?A. W. Spoonc-r, D. D.
One Thing We Can Do,
| Each one in any given place has a responsible
share in every other's good work
in that place. In some things we do our
: part with our hands; in other matters we
! do our part with our hearts. What the
I Apostle John said about evil deeds is as
| true of good deeds: "He that giveth him
j greeting partaketh in his * * * works."
By our well wishing we become partakers
in what others do. John said the same
thing in the next Epistle: "We * * * ought
to welcome such, that we may be fellowworkers."
What we speed on its way, and
what we welcome in our hearts when we
hear of it?m all this we have a share.
How wide reaching, then, are the opportunities
of even the most secluded! How
great is the work in" which even the least
can be engaged! As we hail any good incoming,
or speed any good outgoing, we
enter into the prophet's work, and shall
receive a prophet's reward. Let us take
heart and do our share.
Ever Onward and Upward.
We are commanded to be perfect, to
love God continually, to rejoice evermore,
and in everything to give thanks. And
reason is in accord with revelation in enjoining
this duty. Man's pathway is ever
onward and upward. Larger and seernmgi..

I NAVAJO BLAiVKET WEAVERS.
j Tribe Has 25.000 People, and Most of
Them are Polygamists.
Navajo blanket weaving was
;tudied at close range by P. D. Tull
on bis recent six months' tour to
ATizona for 'bis heaf.ih, says the
Spokane Spokesman-Review. Mr.
Tn 11 u-lir> ls much improved in
health, is hack to Spokane with
some fine specimens of blankets
which he personally picked up while
in the south. He said:
"These Navajca are one of the
largest tribes in the country, numbering
over 25,000 Indians. Their
reservation is equally large, and is
situated in northwestern New Mexico
and northeastern Arizona. Outside
of the reservation proper the
government has granted them an additional
strip of forty miles wide,
known as 'grazing strip.' The tribe
is self-supporting, and while they
know little of agriculture, they own
immense herds of cattle, horses and
sheep. It is from the latter that the
women spin the wool and weave the
blankets and rug3.
"The Navajos are a roving tribe?
when they settle for any time at one
place they live in a dome-shaped
building called a 'hogan.' This is a
foTm of adobe construction, made
with poles and sticks and covered
with mud. When on the more they
live in the regulation tepees. Their j
nearest neighbors are the Apaches, j
with whom, in the old days, they j
were often engaged in war. The \
Navajos are polygamists, sometimes j
having four or five wives. These
they buy, or trade, as they would
any other piece of property. The
squaws do most of the work. They
wash, spin and dye the wool, and
weave it on primitive looms into
quaint and artistic designs. They
never use figures of people, animals,
or birds, as do the basket weavers,
but their designs are largely geometrical.
Red, black, orange, white and
gray are the predominating colors.
"While some squaws may use and j
repeat some characteristic design, it |
is a noteworthy fact that no two rugs
are ever alike. This :is almost in- j
credible, when we consider the hun- ]
dreds of rugs that have been made
by them.
"To say nothing of the time it
takes to wash, dye ar.d spin their
wool, it requires about a month of
steady work to weave a rug four by
six feet. These ar eeasily recognized
by the smaller patterns and smooth, j
close weave. While the Navajos
have never been Christianized, it is
a fact of Interest that the design of
the cross is seen in much of their
work. As types they are flne looking
Indians?strong, ts.ll and well
featured, largely due to their life in i
the saddle." *
