THE (PULPIT.
AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
BISHOP D. A. COODSELL.
Subject: The Face of Christ.
BLooklyn, X. Y.?A very large audience
filled the Tabernacle Sunday to
listen to Bishop D. A. Goodsell. His
subject was "The Face of Christ."
The text was from II. Corinthians iv:t>:
*The glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ." Bishop GoodseU said in the
course of his sermon:
As you read the Bible both in the
Old and New Testaments you are impressed
with the great number of
times which the word "face" is used.
When you travel in Eastern lands you
find that this word is used far more
often and in many different relations
among the Eastern people than we ourselves
are accustomed to use it.
This word face is used in reference
to a man's whole character, I am told,
everywhere in the East, and we have
a great many traces of it in the Bible;
and now when we come to think of it
isn't it true that we are accustomed
to recognize each other more by the
face than by any other one thing. Is
it not wonderful that upon the few
elements in the face, the forehead, the
eyes, nose, mouth and chin there
should be such an infinite variety of
expression stamped by the great Creator?
There is a general conviction among
us that the face will work out the
inner character, so that whatever may
be the beginning of life when we have
lived with ourselves a long time we
will be pretty apt to show upon our
faces what kind of a person we have
Jived with. It is impossible for any
person to give way to avarice without
showing it on their face. If he had an
open face once it will change: and so
the man who gives way to the forces
of passion, whether he gives way to
lust or whether he gives way to .drink,
or whether he gives way to appetite
for food, it will show out on his face.
We write upon our faces what we live
with and no man can wear a mast so
completely that those who are wise in
these things are not able to read behind
the mask.
Now, what one is there among us
that has not desired again and again
to have lived when the face of Jesus
Christ could have been seen. I think
there is no devout soul that in his
trouble has not said. Oh. that I
could look into my Master's face. Oh,
that I could," live as the little children
did, "have rested my head against His
breast and have heard Him say to me
as He said to them, 'Suffer them to
come.'"
You can scarcely go into a Christian
home to-day where Christian education
has presided where there is not at least
one or more representations of the
face of Jesus Christ. I have observed
according to our experiences, according
to our wants, we fasten upon the
representations of Jesus Christ's face
that are most satisfying to us, most
fitting. So that if we are under deep
penitence of sin, we are apt to have
the face of the suffering Christ upon
ithe Cross, and if the sorrows of the
tworld have burdened our hearts, we
Will carry there the face of the thorncrowned
Christ in our homes. If we
have dwelt upon Christ in His
strength, in His power, in His resistance
to evil, in the calm majesty of
one who knows he is innocent, we
.would most likely have the picture of
Christ before Pilate. From the days
of the Catacombs up to the present
time, men have been trying to put
Christ's face before humanity, and
why? Because all souls in their greater
moments, in their spiritual moments,
and therefore in- their religious moments,
would like to have Him brought
near Dy. iney wouiu use w nave mm
made more real.
The beet thing is to so carry Jesus
Christ in our heart that we shall see
Him and behold the glory of God in
the face of Jesus Christ.
The actual picture must remain the
same. We may study it, we may understand
its history. It is not at all
x probable that any one is going to see in
a moment what it took the artist
years to produce, though this may happen.
But as we grow spiritually it is
possible for us by spiritual sight to
behold our Lord, to behold. Him more
clearly as the years go on.
When we study this one word, the
word face, we find that it stands related
to three great facts and to none
other that I know of, and these three
facts are, first, revelation, then inspiration
and finally reward. This is
exactly what the Apostle means by
ihis text, that he who studies the face
of Jesus Christ, he who enlarges his
vision by spiritual imagination, will
have the revelation of the divine truth
come to him. For do we not know that
Jesus came to reveal God to us, to reveal
God to a world in which the dim
eye of sin could but imperfectly see
Him. But the trouble is that our eyes
see as we are educated to see. I have
often noticed while passing along the
street that a man is usually interested
in the trade he represents. If he
was a hatter, he looked at my hat; if
he was a tailor he looked at my
clothes; if he was a shoemaker he
looked at my shoes; if he was a bootblack
he looked to see whether they
were muddy or not, and so our vision
is trained by what we are doing, by
. what we are thinking:. If our eyes
'are trained only to the things of time,
then all the beauty that we see is in
the things *)f time, but by using these
v as stepping stones to something higher
and nobler, then we see by the power
of God's revelation that there is a
God here in this world, and that He is
ruling the world in the interest of
Jesus Christ.
I believe that you would have
thought yourself victims of fate if you
had not been taught by Jesus Christ
the doctrine of divine fatherhood. You
would have thought perhaps that this
world was made by chance if you
had not seen Him standing in the
stern of the ship and saying to the
troubled waves, "Peace, be still." But
because He has come, because He has
passed through all the phases of our
I life from infancy to maturity, because
He has been tempted, because He submitted
to wrong in order that He
might do a great and holy work, because
He has given the most perfect
example of what humanity ought to
be under all phases and circumstances,
because He is? here and was God
' manifested in the flesh, we. His breth
ren in the creation, and we, His brethren
in the redemption of the cross,
1 know that we are dear to God, for
God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son to die for us.
I have to travel a good deal in my
work, as you know. Very often I wake i
early in the morning, and lift the cur- I
tain of my sleeping car that I may
see where we are. and what the pros- |
pects are. Sometimes it is clouded,
sometimes it is clear. There are pools
in the ditches beside the tracks, or
perhaps we are running alongside the
lake and I look at the lake and out
there I can see things mirrored. It
has been a great pleasure to me sometimes
to pick out the stars. Why there
is Orion and there is Sirius, there is
the big dipper and there is Jupiter and
there is Venus, the morning star, and {
there is Mars. I didn't have to look
up, I looked down and saw it reflected.
* timn t n-nnifl spL^ th?i round orb !
AUU A fi
of the morn and I could see what
phase of the moon was on by looking
down as I could by looking above.
Then I have seen the wind set the
glassy surface into waves, and it would
be only belts of broken light. That is
the way it is in human society. We
are looking down upon the world which,
reflects human weaknesses, human sin, j
human passions. There isn't a glassy |
place to reflect the glory of Christ in. j
There are all kinds of passions at work
and the best that we can see is the
rutfled surface of humanity, but I see
bars of light that are on the surface,
then, when I look up I see the glorious
Christ.
Now, finally, the glory of God in the
face of Jesus Christ is revealed, not
only as a revelation, not only for in- |
spiration, but for reward. How full j
the New Testament is of this idea that (
the sight of Jesus Christ shall be the '
reward of the saint and the Old Testa- j
ment, too: "My eyes shall see the i
King in His beauty,'' "We shall be sat- j
isfied when we wake in His likeness." j
"We shall see Him and know Him as j
He is." How many more passages does {
your memory bring up out of your j
religious education that teach this doc- |
trine? j
We who are here this morning, if \
we believe in God we stall not only see
those who have go?e before, who kaK*e '
been in our homes, but the great am- j
bition of a devoted soul will be-grati- j
fled?we shall see God. I
blessed are the pure in heart, for j
they shall see God. According to the 1
measure of our inward_purity do we ;
seem to see God here, wnen we suau,
by the washing of regeneration and
the renewal of our hearts and the j
sanctification of our spirit, until we
can say the Lord hath made me whiter
than snow. We walk with E?im, our
hand is in His hand and our head is
on His bosom. He carries us when
we are weak, as a shepherd carries the
lamb. He heals our disease, He comforts
us in our sorrows. He is in our
homes when we are there, in our shops
when we are there, in the streets when
we are walking, on the sea when we
are sailing.
We shall see Christ not in His humiliation,
but in His exaltation; not
as a babe in the manger, but as a king
of the universe; not as humbled before
Pilate, but as ruling all things
and judging all things.
I believe in heaven because I believe
in God. I do not know where it is, I
think that I am convinced that it is a
condition rather than a place. This is
shown by the parable of Dives and
Lazarus, one in paradise and one in
hell, yet they could talk across the
gulf. That must have been moral
rather than physical. But I do not
know that if God is everywhere, my
soul shall soar through space and find
Him everywhere. It may be that
heaven is everywhere, as God is every^
where to the devout soul.
Getting at Life's Values.
Things that come easily are not of
much value. Vacation time does not
often record noteworthy accomplishment.
It is when the pressure of life
* - *- 1 ? ? +/V fVlA
is at its nignest, pernups ciuov IV Uitz
breaking point, that results usually
cotrnt for most. That time that we are
looking forward to, when this present
grinding pressure will be off and we
shall have an opportunity to do something,
is not likely to record nearly
as good work as we are doing under
friction and stress. Those particles
of ciarbon might have been nothing
more than coal or graphite if consuming
heat and enormous pressure had
not crystallized them into a diamond.
If such a weight is just now upon us,
let us rejoice at the opportunity we
have for getting at the precious tilings
of life.?S. S. Times.
The Bible.
Alone it has civilized whole nations.
It is the one book that can fully lead
forth the richest and deepest and
sweetest things in man's nature. Read
all other books?philosophy, poetry,
history, fiction?but if you would refine
the judgment, fertilize the reason,
wing the imagination, attain unto the
finest womanhood or the sturdiest
manhood, read this book, reverently
and prayerfully, until its truths have
dissolved like iron into the blood. If
you have no time, make time and read.
The book Daniel Webster placed under
hi9 pillow when dying is the book
all should carry in the hand while
living.?Newell D. Hillis.
A Mockery.
To be dishonest during the week, to
defraud one's creditors, to rent property
for saloons or brothels, to water
stock and sell the water to the public,
to live in sin and then to go to church
on Sunday to worship, or to* pretend to
worship at home, is mockery. If
there is one thing the Bible declares,
it is that God abhors such worship.
He must be worshiped in truth.?Sunday-School
Times.
The Cheeriest Music.
We can set our deeds to the music
of a grateful heart, and seek to round
nnr lives into a hymn?the melody of
which will be recognized by all who
come in contact with us, and the
power of which shall not be evanescent,
like the voice of the singer, but
perennial, like the music of the
spheres.?Wm. M. Taylor.
The Key and the Lock.
Let, then, our prayers be "the key
that opens the day, and the lock that
shuts the night," and also from morning
to night our staff and stay in all
our labors, enabling us to go cheerfully
up to the mount of God.?Canon
Farrar
Not All Love.
When the average young couple get
married they start out on the false
assumption that love is a habit, like
the dope habit, that nothing will
break up, and they will never want
any other amusement in life more
thrilling than holding each other's
hands.
This is a mistake. You can tire of
squeezing the most lily white hand in
mighty short order, and even the
diversion of gazing into another's
- yes palls upon you pretty soon,
when it is always the same eyes. It
is then up to both husband and wife
to keep things moving if they want
to be happy.
Nothing is going to happen of itself.
If the woman wants to keep her
husband Interested she has got to
make a home for him that is comfortable,
attractive and cheerful.
When you hear a man say that he
had rather go home to dinner than
eat at a fashionable restaurant, it is
a certificate of domestic happiness so
6trong that you could draw money on
it at the bank.
If she wants to make married life
interesting for her husband a woman
must keep up the charm and allurement
with which she caught him.
Even the recording angel must
wink at the peccadilloes of the man
who has to go home at night to a
fault-finding, peevish, fretting, nagging
woman in a wrapper.

The Winter Palace's History.
The Winter Palace of the Czar is a
fitting center from which to carry on
the fell work of repression alotted to
Trepoff. Almost every stone of the
! walla and every square yard of the
plaster lining cost a life. Nicholas
j had given the order that the palace
must be rebuilt in a year, and what
was human life against the despot's
will? Six thousand men were kept
at work day and night, with the palace
heated at 30 Reamur to dry the
walls rapidly, while the temperature
! outside was often 30 degrees below
I. zero Reamur. The men could only
work with ice packs on their heads,
and experiencing a daily change of
60 degrees, they died by the score
very day. By the end of the year
the death roll was some thousands,
but the palace was finished. To understand
the full meaning of this
achievement, it should be remembered
that the Winter Palace is as large
as Buckingham Palace, Kensington
Palace and th* National Gallery.?
London Globe.
CAR LAWS AND RULES,
j Church?There is a law against expectorating
in the oars in New York,
is there not?
Gotham?Oh, yes.
"And Is there not a law against
standing on the platform?"
"Certainly there is,"
"I suppose, of course, there's a rule
against getting off a car while it is
in motion?'
"Oh, yes, there are laws and rules
j against doing -everything in the cars
j except standing up!"?Yonkers
j Statesman.
ENCOURAGEMENT.
"MIsb Grasper?label?hear me. In
all the excitement of money getting,
in every transaction, my one thought
is of you. May I not hope?"
"You must give me a day to consider;
but, in the meantime, try, for
my sake, to keep on the right side of
the market."?Brooklyn Life.
Who Owns the Railroads?
H. T. Newcomb, of the District of
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,718 depositors in
savings banks of six Eastern States are
directly interested* in the joint ownership
of $442,354,086 of steam railroad
securities, that insurance companies
doing business in Massachusetts hold
$845,889,038 of steam railroad stocks
and bonds, and 74 educational institutions
depend on $47,468,327 invested in
I similar securities ror a poruon or uiexr
! income. Other fiduciary institutions
| own enough railroad securities to bring
such holdings up to more than a billion
and a half dollars, about one-sixth of
the entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments represent
the savings of the masses, there being
twenty million holders of life insurance
policies in the country, as many
more of fire insurance policies, and an
even greater number of depositors in
banking and trust institutions, where
investments are largely in railroad securities.
