Imvg'A 50NDAV InMll1 Sermon IUUUU1I" Subject: Christ's Rrooklvn. N. "V.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme. "Christ's Agpnv and Ours," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, nastor, took as his text Laike 13:34, "And ye would not." He said: The lamentation of Jesus over the City of Jerusalem was occasioned by His clear visior uie depth of her need, of the conroieteness of her rejection of Himself and the revelation of and from the Father that He brought, and by His firm conviction that disdain for His Gospel meant death for herself. Feeling in His inmost heart that His was the truth that could save the city of His peoole from its sin; knowing, as He did, that He was the long-heralded Messiah who should lead His countrymen into the liberty of that life within Jehovah which should satisfy their souls; and exoeriencing. as He had, the temper of the minds of the ecclesiastical and clerical leaders of the synagogues, Jesus was sick at heart over the spiritual doom that was sure to overtake His people. To Jesus sin was the most awful, the most terrifying, the most fearful thing in the world. For Him the word "sin" summed up, short and quick, all those agencies which were anti-Godly and which led men far from the Father. Sin meant destruction, disapproval in the eyes of God. and iis wages were the seeds of death. The Gospel, on tne oiner hand, held for Jesus the kernel and the conclusion of all those forces that should gain men life eternal and the full, enthusiastic favor of the King, their Guide. Being born again of God and entering into the freedom of the spiritual life divine, Jesus conceived these men, His brethren, as obtaining deliverance from eternal death. With this philosoohv and this vision of the need and the issue?both of which Jesus had direct from God ?is it any wonder that He wept over the City of Jerusalem? Sin is death. My Gospel is the way of sure salvation?the only way?and the true guide_unto life that is eternal. Thus reasons Jesus. * These men are bound in and unto sin. How gladly would I teach to them those spiritual truths that should save them, but they will not. Sin is their choice, separation from the Father is their .self-willed death. Do you wonder why the Savior suffered unto bitter agony and tears? His was the wide and comprehensive view of the world, its sin. its need, its salvation, its denial, its destruction. Any smaller or less comprehending insight would have been of none avail. A great, Jimitless, universal understanding of the situation as it was?and is?was the one means to stir the soul of the Christ to its depths. A weaker man with a smaller horizon would have become discouraged or disgusted. A big man, full of heart and grit, with the richness of God's love flooding all his being, was the only one who could mourn. .Tesus wept?not from diseust. or discouragement, but because His whole soul yearned to lead His dying brethren into life for evermore. The weight of their guilt, the certainty of their dying, the uselessness and the wickedness of it all came upon the soul of Christ with resistless force and wrung His heart in agony. And now, beloved, this lesson from the life of our Lord points a threefold duty for each of us. The acceptance by us of this triple obligation which the agony of the Master calls to our attention, will prove to the world about us that our Christ wept not in vain. And the duties three are these: First, we must be convictj ed of the awfulness of that sin whose logical outcome is death. Secondly, we must have an experimental and distinct knowledge that the only sure salvation from this death-dealing sin is through Jesus Christ. Thirdly, we j must, with weeping hearts, go forth into the world as living evangels to preach to all mankind salvation from this deathly sin through Jesus Christ our Lord. The awfulness of sin is a byword rather than a belief among men today. In our earnest and quite legitimate endeavor to publish the glory of the love of God for the sinner, we have lost to a great extent our consciousness and our former denuncia* tion of the hideousness of sin. In our endeavor to escape from the unreasonable curse of a bodily hell we i _ j.1 j have, many of us, rusnea to me uiuci j extreme?that is to say, no hell at ! all. In our earnest preaching of the love of God toward the sinner we have become, I fear, too lenient with sin. My friends, the love of God is a reality. The punishment and the death of man brings no joy to the Father's heart. Jehovah wants every man to live within the light of His countenance of love. To the end that we might have life and that more abundantly He sent His Son our Savior to reveal Himself to us. But sin is always hateful to God. His whole nature shrinks from it, as should our natures, as from a thing unclean. He can have no communion with it?nor should we. Its pleasures are dead fruit, its enjoyments are transient and a mockery, its wages is death. Human experience has proved this to be so, and the word of the living God sustains the charge. Sin is death. In strict union within God is life. .Sin and God can have no commerce. Where sin is, God cannot be. Where the Father is, sin is eclipsed, for with Him there is no evil, but only the fullness of eternal, life. Sin is death. Death is the lack of life. The ruddy apple drops from the leafy, living bough and dies. The seeds of quick consumption strike the human heart and death ensues. In each case the element of destruction has entered. And as with the physical, sc with the spiritual. Godliness is life. Life is union with the principle of life. The dainty apple-blossom holds closely to the ipiding branch and soon we pluck tiie sound and luscious, wholesome ,.;v "y-<V. v':;v mp/rm : BY THE; RE.V-?

The life that seems so near the brink of death's dark stream, the heart, that wealcly beats, the blood that boils at fever heat, all seize upon the remedies that cure, and health and heal in? vigor rush through the weakened frame. In each case the principle of life has been at work. As with the natural, so with the spiritual. Ah. vps. beloved, sin is bondage, death, disgrace, unprofitable. Godliness is great gain and it will surely bring contentment. Sin is distance from God and there is no worse death or hell. Jesus leads us - nearer Heaven, and within Him is the most life and the best. But. sin is death and the sooner the world finds it out and we Christians really realize its awfulness the better for us and the world. This sin, however, is susceptible of defeat. Our lives may be freed from its power and made victorious above its strength. The means are not various, nor is the way hard. There is but one means and one true and happy way. That means and that way Jesus has revealed. Coming to Him for healing we may find easement for our souls. Trust in Him will gain releasee from evil. A whole life spent in His service will reap a rich reward. His is the only gosnel that contains the truth entire. His is the one salvation that our spirits need. His is the gift of life forever unto all who hear, believe on/1 l?t?A f An Xlim ' D or o I n anu u?c ?ui aami. juciiig tt.i uuiu , that sin is death, we mast preach to men the way to life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The trouble with much of our testimony is that we are a little shaky on our own foundations and that too much of our testimony is from the mouth out and is not welling up from hearts that have tasted of the joys of the Christblessed life. Too much of our knowledge of spiritual truths comes to us at second-hand and too little arises from the depths of personal experience. Our ideas must he cut clear as to what is the state and the future of men who are continuing in sin. We must feel that Jesus is the need and the Savior of other men, as He has been the need and the Savior of each of us. We must get that vision of the world which shall make us weep as did our I^ord, which shall make us say with Paul, "Woe is me if I nreach not the Gospel." Ah, yes, beloved, we must, with weening hearts go forth to lead men up to God. Jf sin is death and we possess and know the way to life everlasting, we must not rest until we, too, have brought some brother home to safety. I say we must. I cannot say we may.

Young and ! old. rich and poor, hardened sinners and youths who are just entering the j road to death?each of them, all of j them, caring little, and thinking less of the awfulness of their sin and Che outcome of their shame. Good men who are wise in everything but their conceptions of their need of Christ. Pure men who will come to Jesus if so be some one will only put them to the test. Leaders in the church I who profess the Christ, but who misrepresent Him. A weary, heavyladen host ? and we can lift the crushing weight of sin. 'Look at them and consider. Is it any wonder now that Jesus wept? Ah, beloved, we ought to weep?weep nxe Jesus because men are dying right before our eyes, within reach of our hands; weep?weep unlike Jesus because we are unworthy servants of our Master, because we are recreant to our duty and our trust. My friend3, men who sin are doomed to death except Christ enters in the life and saves. To each of us the question of our God comes clear and strong to-day as it came to Isaiah tlie prophet in the year that King Uzziah died, "Whom^shall I send and who will go for us." Will you refuse the Father or will you say with Isaiah, "Here am I, send me." The Piety of Usefulness. Someone once said to Cromwell: "You, sire, know well the usefulness of piety!".. 'I know something better," Cromwell replied, "the piety of usefulness." The phrase works both ways. Piety is useful, and usefulness is a function or activity of piety. If it is meant that simply to be busy is to be religious, a subtle terror lurks in the remark of Cromwell. But if the meaning is that the piety demanded by the age is not a self-engrossed religiousness wnicn dwells apart in reflective unconcern, but the practical kind of faith that is busy in the King's business, an important truth is thus brought to our notice. The Soul's Greatest Need. Rest is the deepest want in- the " soul of man. All men do not desire 1 pleasure; all men do not crave intellectual food; but all men long for rest. It is the need which sometimes makes the quiet of the grave an ob: ject of deep desire. There the weary are at rest. And It is this which, consciously or unconsciously, is the j real wish that lies at the bottom of all others. The Church's Duty. ? Part of the Church's duty Is to press on to their duty Christians ali ready won to Christ; to care for their ' spiritual development; but first eof ! all, and above all, the Church is hero : to evangelize the world.?Archbishoj i of Canterbury. \ - -;.r - , A Most Valuable Agent.

The late Pope was once giving an audience, when his attendant, through some oversight, neglected to introduce, by name, a very stoat lady who approached the throne. The Pope, however, took the situation for granted. "Vous etes une bonne mere de familie chretlenne, n'este-ce-pas?" he asked gently. In a horrified whisper, an attendant intimated that the lady was unmarried. The Pope, wltlh a smothered gasp, sat back in his chair, turned his face away and laughed.

COFFEE THRESHED HER ? ? . 15 Long Years. "For over fifteen years," writes a patient, hopeful little Ills, woman, "while a coffee drinker, I suffered from Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble. I was treated by good physicians, but did not get much relief. "I never suspected that coffee might be aggravating my condition. I was down-hearted and discouraged, but prayed daily that I might find something to help me. "Several years ago, while at a friend's house, I drank a cup of Postum and thought I had never tasted anything more delicious. "From that time on I used Postum instead of Coffee and soon began to Improve in health, so that now I can walk half a dozen blocks or more with J - ~ -.1 ease, ana ao maujr utuei miu^a iuav I never thought I would be able to do again in this world. "My appetite is good, I sleep well and find life is worth living, indeed.
