Subject: Representing Christ.
Brooklyn, X. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church
on the theme, "Representing Christ,"
the pastor, the Rev. Ira Wemmell
Henderson, took as his text John 13:
34-35, "A new commandment I give
unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love
one1; another. By this shall all men
know that ye are My disciples, if ye
have love one to another." He said:
o>Vi? 4^ :? J ~ Af 4V%A
j.ma, tu my xiiiiiu, is. uuc ui iuc
broadest, most far reaching, most
widely inclusive of the moral duties
that our Lord has made obligatory
upoh those who wish to enter into
the Christian life.
The time and the scene are familiar
to us all. The Supper is over;
Christ has washed the feet of His disciples;
the betrayer is named and departed
upon his errand of shame.
The end is very near. A few hours
and. Calvary.
With the knowledge of His approaching
suffering weighing heavily
on His heart, the Saviour with a
more than kingly courage speaks His
words-of comfort and command. Only
eleven men, and they soon sorely to
be tried, hear the melody of His
voice; but to our hearts He speaks
to-day, with thos?> same kindly yet
authoritatively tones with which He
swept the faithful, fickle, strangely
human souls of that little band to
whose ministry we owe so mucu.
t'vilo it /inmrrmn/lmanf" tTiat
* our Master enjoins upon the disciples
demands equal obedience from us. In
it is embodied the essence of the
whole, moral law. To be true sons of
the Father we must exemplify in our
own lives those very qualities of love
and of loveliness that are the secret
of the Saviour to,draw men, everywhere
and at all times, unto Himself.
"With our every thought and word
; and act must we represent the Christ.
With all our moral and spiritual
forces, given to us of God and dedi'
cated to His service, must we re-presentvthe
message of salvation.
Let us look for a moment at the
s character of the love which Christ
demands of us who would serve Him
truest. With Him there is no letting
down either in degree or in kind.
Christ asks of us th.- same ideal love
that He spread wide about Him
^ -whithersoever He went. "Even as I
< have loved you," so shall yc love one
another. "Xot a simple comparison,
but a conformity; the love is to be
:.fof the same nature," the commentators
tell us. Thus we see, that, in
short, we are, In our love, to be
^nrfeHil-b Vn marc contimonfalit'T"
VUi Ji^vuav? v <uv* w vw^? v,'<)
jf no passing fancy or passion, is this
love of which the Christ is typal.
It transcends and includes all our
personal passions. All the heart's
emotions are -at their best when, the
love of Christ reigning withiu ns,
they are expressions of that alturistic,
world-including affection wnich
theutfazarene calls forth. The influence
of the Christ makes for greater
beauty in all the gardens of the soul.
??$ Everywhere in life we find it to be so.
The gentle light that glances from
the mother's eye becomes a holy,
steadfast glow when once the power
. of the loving, living Christ is felt
within the soul. All love that is
^worthy of the name is beautified, ennobled,
sanctified by the incomiu0 of
' the Spirit of Almighty God, the Com|v'
lorter from Christ. The Christ life
without the Christ love cannot be.
The life implies the love. The ;n.
;* ' coming Christ compels an outgoing
;|ove; and only in the measure that
\ we pour out our love upon our fellow
y men do we live truest for Christ and
closest to His side. Thus, we see
that, in essence and in. sum, our love
jt as Christian men and women must
j??' 'measure true to the character of the
. -" '.love which was in Jesus Christ HimZ...
celt.
v:'. "
A cursory examination of these
f: words of the Master would lead the
reader, perhaps, to conclude that this
,i love that the Saviour showered upon
His disciples and to which He bade
^he eleven to conform was to be con.
fined in its application to themselves
only, or at best to those who would
accept the Gospel and its messenger,
.tfo be sure, there is a mighty element
of truth contained even in this limited,,
short-sighted, rather self-centred
,view.. Christ did mean and does
mean that Christians should practice
all the arts of love within the
5 circle of those who have heard the
call and have answered it. Perhaps
it would be better, no not perhaps,
bat certainly it would be best, for
the Christian household of faith, inr
dividuallv and collectively, to make
effective in their lives the highest
principles of ideal love laid down by
Christ. But as we read closer and
enter more fully into the mind of the
Master we see a deeper and a grander
message in these, parting commands.
Listen once again to His
.words:'" :"Even as I have loved you."
Do you not see the great, world-wide
principle lying just within the shad>
ow of the sentence? '"Even as I have
jjxved you." And how had He loved
them?? Moses, you know, brought
tife children of Israel up from the
torrid land3 of bondage, up to the
confines of the land of Jehovah's
"promise. And the name of Moses is
held in reverent memory by the host
of that scattered people of God everywhere
to-day. But this Christ, this
despised Nazarene, had found these
men struggling not only with unwholesome
economic and ecclesiastical
conditions, but with inner and
spiritual distress. True to the purpose
and motive of His life Christ
had given them the way unto spiritual
salvation and, with it, the means
to;the cleansing of the entire civil life
?' of .the world. He had come down
from the Father's house beyond the
immeasurable blue and, taking upon
Himself the burdens and the sins of
human kind, had started these men
out upon the sure highway that leads
t6;:spiritual perfectness and all temporal
joy. He had found them in
deep darkness and had shown them
th? light. There was no question in
Christ's mind as to the depth of'their
philosophy, or as to the bulk of their
pt^seS? to" :'the.: lit of their
v
- " ,v-vV.v. .y.

' clothes. He did not inquire, so far
as -vre have record, into their ancestry,
so to be sure that they were worthy
to be in the social set of one whc
was of the line of David. Ah, no!
Christ took them, one and all, at their
face value?as men and sinners. He
saw in them only men waiting and
longing for the touch of a loving
hand and the comfort of a sure salvation.
He called them and they left
their work, their families and their
friends, and they followed where He
led. And, as they followed. He
taught them, and He showed them
how, by the power that He alone
could give, they might work social
and spiritual miracles and transformations
in their own lives and alsc
in the lives of other men and of nations.
And. withal, He loved them
??Al- J-1?1 i.T 1 r\i'r\ Ti'Vinro.
WUI1 mat iiu^uiv. guui* iu?5 ??m. i^
I with none other had ever loved them
before. Such was the love of Christ
to His disciples. Such was the character
of the affection, in the broadest
interpretation, that He lavished upon
them. Such was the love which, in
its fullest application. He wished
them to, manifest to all men. He had
loved them as sinners. They must
love other men in sin. He had deall
kindly and patiently and with al
forebearance with thenv' They musl
do the same w-ith their fellows. Tc
be sure, they wert tc strive for bar
mony among themselves at times
that they might be known and reac
of all men as His disciples. Onlj
thus could their teachings gain oi
retain a merited respect. But th<
wider expression of the love of Chrisi
that was spread abroad in thei:
hearts demanded, as it demands to
day, that they look upon all men ii
sin, as well as upon all Christians, a:
brothers?and love them.
But, I hear some one ask, suppos<
Christian men to-day do love, spe
cifically and generically. as Chris
commanded that the disciples shouk
love, what then?
That is just the point that I wisl
to consider. This command o
Christ, in-its apnlication' both to tin
relation of the Christian to the othe:
faithful and to the world of men ii
j sin about him, is just as imperative
upon us as it was upon any of tin
eleven. And the outworking of tha
Christ principle in all the depart
ments of human activity will ensun
the final solution of all difficultie
that now perplex and distress us an<
the consummation of the Kingdom o
our Lord. It is so perfectly easy an<
so very simple that the ease and sim
plicity of it all astonishes us. W<
have become so accustomed to tliinl
of our problems as exceptionally hari

to assure ourselces of the almost in
surmountable difficulty to set th<
world right with the eternal plan o
God. We would much rather, so i
would seem, that the whole matte
remain complex. We think, perhaps
that God will be easy on us if we fai
in a difficult task. - '
Beloved, it is difficult,* it is well
night, yea actually, insurmountable
this sin in the world, when square*
to the possibilities of our own un
aided powers. But did we open ou
hearts wide toward Heaven once, am
let the power of the Spirit of the liv
ing Father fill us to the full; did w
but empty out our Spirit-filled heart
in love upon our fellow men; did w
but put into action once this 'simpl
plan of God toward the rehabilitatio]
of the world, we would learn, an<
that quickly, what are the possibilitie
of the power that cometh from oi
high. And the only way to rectif,
.the results of the spiritual, moral
economic and political sins of thi
world, individual and social, is t*
let tlie love of God fill you an*
through you the world of men abou
you. This done, the task is light, fo
our basis of action is changed. W
no longer rely upon the wisdom o
the philosophies of men and thei
theories, but we clutch tightly to th
power arm of that Ruler of us all b
whom all things are possible?an*
we seize the first thing first.
Now this command of Christ b
love one another even as He has love*
us, is imperative. It is mandator:
and not permissive. If we would b
good Christians of full and regula
standing in the household of fait!
we must obey. It is not for us b
decide whether or no in our case th
law shall be valid. Christ commands
and only by obedience to His deman*
do we so that, all men shal
know that we are His disci
pies. The test of fidelity is in obedi
ence. Lip testimony is judged b:
fealty in service. Some one has said
"What you do speaks so loud that
cannot hear what you say." It is thi
central fact that Christ recognize
when He commands a loving order
ing of our outward life. We ar
Christians, but do we live the life o
love?
These words of Christ should com'
home to each of us with more thai
usual force at this season of th'
year. Christmas is over; shortly w<
shall be face to face with those sad
der days which are so full of mem
ories of Him who, for our sakes, suf
fered even ignoblest death. It i
fitting that we should re-dedicate our
selves to the work that He so dearl;
loved. In His own good Providenc*
God has seen proper to make use o
' nrrtv'ul Tf romaini

for us to decide to co-operate witl
Him and to do good work for thi
kingdom. Shall we put our shoul
ders to the wheel or shall we ad<
weight to the load? Shall we no
drink deep at the fountain of God'
love; shall we not be messengers o
His healing love unto this weary, sin
crushed world?
Only as we breathe the Spirit o
His lo-v^e do wo represent Him.
Let us open then our hearts botl
God-ward and man-ward; and fill th
world with Christ's uplifting, sancti
tying love.

you, that ye love one another; eve:
