Subject: A Sei
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church
on the theme, "A Separated People,"
the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson,
pastor, took as his te.%t Titus 2:14, "A
people for His own possession." He
'S&id:
The mission of Jesus Christ to men
was to reveal to them the fulness of
1 divine truth unto the establishment
of the Kingdom of God in their
hearts. Those who are citizens of
* that kingdom are in a very lively
sense an "elect race; a royal priest
hood; a holy nation; a people for
r God's own possession." To serve
God well and to the end is not child's
& 1 play but a man's work. To swear allegiance
to the King of Kings is to
? cut loose from sin and to enter into
the warfare against Satan upon terms
of decided and continuous opposition
and resistance. The fight against
t evil is not a sham battle, but a bitter
' struggle to the death, with "no quarter"
for the slogan. Constructively,
the Kingdom is for men who are
* working up toward godliness entire
through the yielding of self to do the
will of the Father.- The members of
, the Kingdom are men who are not
the servants of the world. Citizen\s
ship is conditioned upon loyalty to
revealed truth and upon growth in
:> the appropriation and realization of
divine verities.
If there is.any one thing that needs
: - emphasis in this day and time it is
the fact tliat Christians are different
from those who serve' the Baals of
nwont Th? difference is not
tonsorial or sartorial or educational,
but vital. It depends not upon the
? cut of the hair, or upon the fashion
% of clothes, or upon the lack or abuns-dance
of schooling a man may have
? . experienced, but upon his manner of
Hfe. To walk our streets and dis
iinguish Christians from the men who
are not brethern of Christ (ex9ept
: they be marked with the plain, facial,
- disreputable evidences of sin) is not
.easy. The thjef and the church trustee
may each be shaven in the same
(j shop and both be immaculately neat.
The same style of ready-to-measure
} ; ,garments may array the deacon and
! .the crook". Everywhere we -may find
who under similar or identical
.r exteriors yet harbor and foster total^.Oy
opposite ideals, motives and
;/ ^thoughts.
% It is not my purpose to intimate
that in many an instance it is "hot
perfectly easy to mark good men from
eyil. The lineaments of sin sooner or
later are impressed indelibly upon
;v/--?be faces of those who lead lives of
- ahame, no matter what sort of clothes
they wear or how neat they may be.
rvmtrari-wisp. the nuritv of Christ is
> . l.T"~?"" I ? ? revealed
In the countenance of him
/who lives near to God. Even a child
; may poirit a drunkard by his rags and
. a priest by his garb. These diffeny
ences are patent.
&v. But it is not of the difference in the
clothes, or cash balance at the bank,
. or the mental culture of Christians
"i: and non-Christians'that I wish to
-ispeak.
i v; V The difference between those who
love Christ and those who care nothing
about Him is not in externalities
: .bat in fundamentals. We are con..
V. cerned not so much with what a man
f- eats or wears, as with what he thinks,
With the motives by which he is actnated,
with the principles by which
bis actions are tested and justified,
with the sort of soul life he lives.
The- possession of a Christ inspired
soul, energized by God blessed nol'
tives and aspirations and ideals is
what differentiates Christians from |
yy the world. Titus tells us in our text
that "we have been redeemed by
: Christ that we may be set apart "a
\ people for His own possession/' and
St. Peter informs us also that we pre
"a people for God's own possession."
These two statements state much
. truth in a nutshell and lead us to inquire
what manner of men "God's
own" are.
?< ? The'Christian is a man of fine principle.
Paul tells us that all things
are lawful unto us, hut that all things
are not expedient. The man of principle
acts, not that he may be insured
v . in the exercise and prerogatives of'
his personal rights only, but in order
?: that the welfare of society may oe enhanced.
He inquires not what are
my rights, but what are my obligations?
His chief concern is not to
gain all that is coming to him in a
material way, but to live that the
sum"df human happiness shall be increased.
The Christian is the last
' man to insist upon his right to enJoy
anything that in itself is harmless
and that in his hands may result in
V no wrong, that in its influence upon
other men may lead to their souls'
-destruction. The worldly man, on
the other band, is chiefly anxious that
he shall reap his share of all things.
:i The influences, conscious or unconscious,
of his actions weigh little up>
on his heart. He is not worried
about the life of his brother, because
to him his^brother is a law unto him'
> Velf. I am not only my own but my
brother's keeper, is a part of the philosophy
of men of principle alone.
The Christian would rather be right
than to win; the worldly man would
I be right if convenient and anything
f 'to get the victory. The Christian
; cuts the way for the onward movement
nf the wnrlri with the axe of
truth; the worldly man marches with
the ranks, content with conditions
< as they are. Those who love Christ
give the world not what they wish always
but what they ought to have;
they point uslo what we ought to he
and what by the grace of God, if we
cared, we might be. The worldservers
keep their ears to the ground
and give us only what we say we
need. The difference is only one of
principle. Christians are principled,
finely and highly; the men who serve
< mammon are unprincipled and- irresponsible.
Christians are men of pure motives
and of high ideals; worldly men are j
not. Where there are noble, uplifting,
sanctifying motives there is the

uiratcd People.
essence of tlio Gospel found. Those
who are princes in the Kingdom of
Jehovah are men of single purpose,
of unsullied devotion to the truth, of
unified motive. There is no double
dealing in the heart of man who real
lv lives within Jesus. He aoes uusiness
on the square and is not merely
waiting his chance to knife you. If
he does good he does it not that he
may secure praise or profit thereby,
but in order that he may be and bring
a blessing into a needy life. The protestations
and pronunciamentofi of
the Christian, his affirmed convictions
and declared ideas, are not different
from the inner desires and beliefs
that mold his life. The ^ye of the
Christian is single and when he looks
at you you may read therein the
deepest motives of his soul. There is
no mud there. But how different are
the motives of the men of the world.'
Lacking principle, it is well to be
wary of their motives. The man who
is continually looking out for himself
may, not unjustly, be suspected of
having an axe. to grind. His chief
aim is {o throw dust in your eyes
that you may not see through him.
His ways are devious and his motives
double and dangerous.
But the greatest thing that differentiates
the Christian from the world
is the soul life. The man who puts
his trust in temporalities has little of
that and generally wants more of it.
Being chiefly zealous to get a full
a+nvo r\f thic wnvld's cnnds he hasn't
time to waste over the inner man
and intangible realities of life. His
time is preoccupied by the present.
The Christian, however, is not so.
Living a full, rich, free, helpful life
in the world, he yet realizes that after
all the soul life is the thing. His
chief interest in the material things
of life lies in the fact that through
them his soul 'may find expression.
To live near to God is his first desire
and endeavor, for he knows that then
the basis of life is sure.
Ah, yes, there is a difference between
God's men and Belial'sv There
is a sharp line of demarkation between
the life of selfishness and the
life of selfilessness. On the one hand
we have an army of pure minded,
clean hearted, noble acting men and
women; and opposed to them a host
of unprincipled self-seekers. The
man who is clothed upon by Christ
cannot be happy and and do wrong;
the servant of Satan thinks it happiness
if so be he only gets on top.
The Christian views his actions in the
light of eternity and considers their
everlasting consequences.
I am not anxious that Christians
should be labelled by the clothes they
wear. I am solicitous that their deportment
should mark them as
Christ's; that when they open their
mouths men shall know without any
guesswork upon whose side they
stand; that when the rub comes between
wrong and righteousness they
shall stand up and be counted with
the hosts of heaven.
The Common Denominator.
It seems to be taken for granted by
a number of writers that the only
way of rendering the Gospel of Christ
acceptable to men is to show its likeness
to other religions, and to try to
find the common denominator between
them all. This is a line of defense
with which we are becoming
familiar; but it does not require
much foresight to see that it is
doomed to fail. It is one thing to
show (what is very necessary to be
shown) that the Gospel is the perfection
of all light and truth in the
world; it is quite another to attempt
to make all the light and truth equal.
There is no need to disparage the
broken rays of light and the partial
morsels of truth which are found
outside Christ, but the fact remains
that they are broken and partial at
the very best. The Gospel has hith;
erto achieved its victories by insistence
upon what is unique in it, and
| this special note must be insisted
! upon, if the victories are to continue.

Prayer a Harmonizer.
Peter had a praying band about
him; for ten days the disciples continued
in craver. When the preacher
stands as Peter did, surrounded by a
praying church, the result is a multitude
of converts, steadfastness in
church life, self-denial and gladness.
Peter's serinon -was born of prayer.
A praying people cannot quarrel;
strife, malice, back-biting?open
springs that feed church quarrels?
are dried up by the south wind of
prayer. A church on its knees looking
to Christ, overlooks much. He
that studies the stars has no time to
criticise his fellows; the telescope
that walls in the planet walls out
men. A praying people do not oppose
the pastor; molten metal easily takes
the shape of the mold set for it;
hearts united in prayer conform to
the pastor's plans, fill up, and give
value to his purposes.?Ram's Horn.
