The Rev. Dr. Ilohert Kokni Delivers
Thotightfiil And, Convincing Addrem
Vrcliit III to Abjure SelflHTuicsn und
Aslinsllim-Obrltt the lJeul. .
BnooKLYW, N. Y.?Sunday morning the
Rev. Dr. Robert Rokom. rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, preached -a
thoughtful and convincing berinon on
"God's T/Ove For Aran." The texts were
from John iii: 16: "God so loved the -world
that Ho gave Ilis only begotten Son, that
whoso believeth on Hun, might not perish,
but have everlasting life," and Mark ix:24:
"Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief."
Dr. Rogers said among other things:
I I begin our thought this morning with
the ureat declaration of the beloved Apostle
John who, batter than any other of
Christ's disciples, understood the vital
meaning underlying the Master's life. Jesus
was to John a distinct personality with
whom he was acquainted, a man amonx
men, but He was more than this. He was
also at the same time the love ot God incarnate
in this Man's nature, so that He
represented tho nature of God, and His
feeling and desires and purposes toward
g mankind. God loved the world. Now, after
beginning with this thought, I have
taken another verse from Scripture, to indicate
man's attitude of mind toward
John's declaration, "Lord, I believe, help
Thou mine unbelief."
John's statement is a condensed but
very complete outline of what the Christian
religion aims to teach men. It is the
message of the Christian Church that Jesus
Christ is the personal demonstration of
God's love for man. The life and words
of Jesus are the illustrations of how God
loves and how He acts toward man, and
also what God desires that man shall
think and do toward God and toward his
fellow man.
Now this kind of thinking leads us into
the acknowledgment of the supernatural.
It brings us to the admission that our Divine
Father loves man, and teaches him,
and guides him by laws and standards
which He reveals to man aceordiiiR to his
nucus. in other words, the Christian religion
stands for the presence of God in
this life we are now living, and that He
has help to giv^S to man, and demands to
make of man.
There arc countless men and women
who believe implicitly in this statement of
God's presence ruling over life, and who
live in their belief, oflcring up themselves
to divine guidance, regretting their sins
and imploring pardon in perfect faith that
it will be granted. There arc, on the other
hand, some perhaps, who say they have
no belief in the divine and spiritual, and
who would place themselves outside of the
declarations of the Christian religion, but
1 believe this number to be few and growing
smaller every day, as the fuller vision
of the world and its rich spiritual meaning
dawns upon their intelligence. Hut thereis
another large class with whom 1 am
enecially concerned, who believe and yet
do not believe. Thev would
Christian faith, neither are they i-enAy to
give tlieir full allegiance to it. Tliore is u
multitude of such people among our men
and women, and may we not ask seriously
why is this the ease? Is it because Christ's
teaching and His life are so hard to be understood
that spiritual things can make no
derstood. Are some kinds so constituted
naturally that spiritual things can make
no effective appeal to them?
If we were for a moment to admit this
it would destroy the greatest power which
we believe inherent in Christ's: religion,
namely, that to every man, bond or free,
black or yellow, barbarian or Scythian,
Jew or Gentile, learned oi unlearned, rich
or poor, it has the power of entering into
his heart and transforming his life. There
is no respect of persons with God. I grant
*you that Christ found that there were certain
places where even He could not present
llis message with conviction, but the
cause of His failure was the hardness of
men's hearts and not the difficulty of
comprehending His gospel, and this same
reason will be found to hold good in these
Atheism i* no longer supposed to be a
necessary adjunct of tlie scientist; hut on
the contrary, the men who are opening the
widest visions of new truth to the world in
these daya and teaching the profoundegt
lessons to mankind arc men who are siiw
cere believers in the message of God's
presence as revealed by Jesus Christ, or at
least are ab!o to say with earnestness.
"Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief."
When we conic to eousidcr our own lives
and those of the ordinary men and women
around about whom we can understand,
what is it that prevents the message of
Jesus Christ from having the eft'cct upon
us all that it ought to have?
There has been for the past few years a
warning sounded that men are not attending
our Christian churches, and the reasons
are being given in various ways. Clergymen
are uninteresting; churches are cold,
uninspiring places; doctrines are antiquated
and illiberal and meaningless to
man in the struggle for life. Perhaps
I there is a truth ip all these statements; it
is not Jifiicult for even a stupid man to
f.n-l .1.... :ii
...... .. I'idiiaime I'sciise ior anytliing he
cares to do, or to leave undone. l'arents
who are bringing up children, teachers
who are educating tfiein, understand the
readiness of plausible excuses.
Htft these excuses, whenever given, are
not the real reasons why some men do not
attend church. Let m" say, first, that 1
believe it is open to demonstration that a
larger number of men are interested in
the work of the church and attending its
services and obeying its inspirations than
at any other time iu history. And what
is more important, they are attending
churches v il.ingly without the compulsion
of ancient times when heaven and hell
were regarded as in the sole jiower of the
church, and men were afraid to absent
themselves. Our Y. M. 0. A.'s were never
bo pi^perous. The religious nature of our
college students was never more genuine
than in our own ?lnv?.
Hut to speak of those who are not attending
our churches, is it not because
thcv have never had a true vision of t)ie
vital reality and practicability of Christ's
messages? The great majority of men in
this country, at least, arc nominal Christians.
They ?cmi iheir children to Sunday
school, they like to have their wives and
Bisters in union with the church, and if
asked whether they themselves believe in
the teachings of Christ and Mis Church,
would cither evade the question or else say
they could follow Christian precepts without
attending church, is not the fault of
lack of attendance on Christian worship
due rather to the manner of life wo aie
living than to a definite unbelief in the
virtue of the Christian religion? They are
so much absorbed in the struggle for
money that thcv have neither time nor
desire to sec anything else. Every one is
hunting for it, the busii.ess man, the politician,
the professional man, the laborer,
the coachman, the waiter, the conductor,
the porter, the barber, the messenger, the
clergy man who is paid for burials and baptism.**,
the corporation. This one craze
seems to leave no part of American so1
^ ciety intact, rich and poor, hitch and lo?v
j alike, are infected with this disease, which
, is gapping all the spiritual and moral energy
of the generation.
The church in not the only place from
which such men nnd women absent themselves.
Our lectures on history and travel,
and scienco and art are giving up their
business because the cry lias gone forth
that men will not attend lectures. The
literature that appeals to people is not that I
jfhich lift* the mind and heart to ?'
%
thoughts, but the type ot dimsy novel thai '
simply entertains.
The Church of ('hriftt i? no longer a comfortable
place in which the unrepentant
sinner can sit. Keligion has become much /
more of a reality to every inan. It Oils a
more sacred place. It is not regarded in
these days as simply a combination of ritoa
and ceremonicH. ncrformeil in & ?r>pr>inl
building, but rcfigion is known by alf men *
to be co-ordinate and co-extepsive with lif?
and the man who willingly live* ninfullv
and in disregard of Christ's standard will
not add to his degradation by playing the
hypocrite and impostor. This means that .
in the minds of irreligious men there is a {
growing respect for religion and a sound J
regard for the church even among those J
who do not attend. I say that it is the life
which the age is calling on men to live '
that is weakening the religious life and '
faith of men. Men cannot serve (rod and I
mammon is true forever. Can this evil ba
overcome, and how? I believe that it can, '
and the way to overcome it is to satisfy (
men that we are living in a moral and spir- 1
itual world in which Cod is preaent and )
in which He makes His demands, l'rofes- 1
sor James, of Harvard, speaks of the uni- *
vcrsality of religious experience opening
up a now world which science 1ms hitherto 1
Bcoffed at, but which must be recognized j
if we know by our own experience that '
there is a realm of thought, of love, of 1
conscience, of righteousness, toward which
things our hearts yearn. We know more '
man ever tne laws of this department of 1
life, how, under God, beneficence and '
growth and power nre added to life by j
their obedience, and how injury and weak* !
ness and suffering are the resultants of J
disobedience to the individual and to the 1
nation and the race. Men believe in theao 1
things, because they see them. If they do '
not believe in their power as you and I, 1
dear Christian friends do, it is becauso J
they have been hindered by other things 1
from looking at them seriously enough, if
they can be turned from the craze of the '
age, which is selfishness, they will be able 1
to see and appreciate the workings of this 1
real kingdom of love and Christ in our 1
midst. If the church is to help men it ,
must open its doors and heart to such men.
It must not refuse their admission or re- '
tard them by insulting them when they 1
come. If a man is looking for righteous- 1
ness and anxious to govern his life accord- 1
ing to that inspiration, the church ought
to be ready to give to such an honest man
all he is ready and willing to receive. I-et
*is not be afraid of our sacraments beinu I 1
desecrated. Men will not come to them
unless they really want them and believe 1
in them. We ask too much of men about
what they believe or do not believe. The 1
working and living Church of Christ is j
not that which shall only have a place and 1
a welcome for those who arc fully equipped
with faith in all its sacred doctrines, out '
a church which, like Christ, shall draw art 1
men unto it and gradually, by its spiritual
love and care, nourish men into its highest
privileges and possessions.
If men can believe something of Christ's j
revelation of God, if they can say, "Lord.
1 believe," it becomes then the part of i
every Christian as an individual and of all | '
Christians as an organization to help their
unbelief until men can enter into the fnl- j
ness of Jlis message and take for their inspiration
in life, "Clod so loved the world
that lie gave His only begotten Son, that j '
whoso bclieveth on llim might not perish, j
but have everlasting life." This is the j 1
Christian's message of God's presence i
among us. Cod loving men, inspiring and
guiding them toward His own ideal of per- |
tcctness. This is the opening of the gates i
of salvation to men. from selfishness .mil !
animalism, into the happiness and eneour- ! 1
ugement of knowing that we are the sona '
of God, for (Jod hath not called us to unclcnnncss,
but to holiness. When the '
churches of Christ take this attitude to- ,
ward men ami men shall learn that the j
ministration of the church is toward help- 1
iiig them out of their sin.s and mistakes, I
rather than in a constant^ condemnation cf !
their faults, I believe they will be found j
within i'.s walls, ready to he helped and j
led toward a larger knowledge of God and i
Ilia love.
Doing One's Heal,
We should not only seek to Mo our best,
hut also to do the best that can he done.
No man can tell when lie has done his
beat. The best should always be the highest
reach possible. The striving for excellence
us not alone for the sake of the life
it makes possible. No work should ever j
be regarded as "good enough" if it could j
be made better. It was said of Lord I
Brougham that such was his love of excel- |
lenco that, "if his station in life had been |
uiiij linn ?i a uooioiacK, no would never ;
have rested satisfied until he had become |
tlie best bootblack in England." It in no I
wonder, remarks the Baptist Union, that j
lie was one of the best men in the empire. |
In seeking to do his best, ever aiming at ;
excellence, he was gradually making him
self one of the best men. And after all, 1
the great purpose of life is only achieved |
when one not on!y does his best, but is his 1
best.

A Missionary in India, Rev. W. P.

that the gospel carries its comfort in distress
to tlie convert in India us it does in
this country:
"One of our older Krnff.ili 1-ir.vn ivi.rtr.,

loin of Israel continued only 254 years at:er
the division of the kingdom, and durn?
that time tliere were nineteen different
Kings (not counting Tibni, Omri's rival),
>f nine different houses or dynasties. All
>f these Kings were ungodly and sev^p
isur|H.'(l Hie throne by bloodshed. Omri
jvas the sixth King of Israel and toe
caiuler of the third dynasty. Ahab, the
ion and successor of Omri, fully established
Baal worship. No King of the Jews has
eft a sadder record. Under him idolatry
ind wickedness became fearfully prevalent,
he nrohpets of (lod were slain and Ilia
vorsnip forbidden.
Commentary.?I. The reign, character
ind death of Omri (vs. 23-28). 23. "lletan
Omri." No account is here taken of
he four years he was contesting the kinglorn
with Tibni. From verse 15 we see
hat his reign must really have begun in
:he twenty-seventh year of Asa's reign;
ind comparing the two statement's we con:lude
that four years later, at the death
>f Tibni, in the thirty-first year of Asa's
eign. he began to reign alone. "Twelve
rears." This is supposed to include the
ivholp time of his reign ? four years with
I'ibni and eight years alone. There is,
towever, a difference of opinion as to
lie chronology here. "In Tirzah." lie
reigned nix years in Tirzah and six in Samaria.
_ ?. "The lull Samaria.' The paiace ot
I'lrzah being in ruins. Omri, in select*
ug the site of his royal residence, was naturally
influenced by considerations both of
pleasure and advantage. In the centre of
\ wide amphitheatre of mountains, about
nx miles from Sehechem, rises an oblong
liill with steep, yet accessible sides, and a
long flat top extending east and west, and
rising 500 or (500 feet above the valley.
What Omri probably built as a mere
palatial residence, became the capital of
the kingdom instead of Shcchein. The
choice of Omri was admirable in selecting
i position which combined strength, beauty
mid fertility. "Slicmer." The Hebrew
form of Shoiuer. from whence the hill was
called Shomeron or Samaria. "T?vo tr 1cnts."
About This was a large sum.
25. "Kvil. . Worse than all." lie was
worse than the wicked Kings who had
reigned before him. "lie went farther
than they 11a< 1 none in establishing ini<pi11y
by law, ;.ik1 forcing hi? subjects to eoui()!y
with him in it; for we read in Micah ti lti
of the 'statutes of Oinri.' the keening of
which made Israel a desolation." We cannot
doubt that these statutes of Oinri
were measures adopted for the more completely
isolating the people from the house
r>f the Lord at .Jerusalem and of perpetuating?perhaps
increasing- t heir idolatrous
|?raetices. 2ti. "Made Israel to sin." Note
the power of a wicked life: I. ft is the
more dangerous when associated with material
prosperity (v. 24). 2. It transforms
ii King into a tyrant (vs. 2.1, 20). I!. It
is the less excusable in a man of valor and
rapacity tv. Ji). -i. it entails sultering
and woo on succceding generations. 27.
"And his might." It appear* that lie stood
well in the army, for it was in ramp that
he was elected to the throne, yet in his
relation to Jehovah he stood worse than
any of his predecessors and was farthest
from (Sod. A man may he ski.nil and use.
fill to himself and others 111 all material
und worldly things, while in spiritual and
divine things he works only mischief and
destruction. What without reHuion is socalled
civilization? 28. "Otnri slept." lie
died a natural death.
II. The reign and character of Allah
(vs. 20-33). 2il. "Year of Asa." Asa saw
six Kings of Israel buried. "I?cgan Ahab."
More particulars are recorded of Ahab
than of any of the other Kings of Israel.
30. "Did evil . . . Above all." lie even
exceeded the iniquitv of his wicked father.
31. "A light thing.*' lie not only broke
the second commandment by introducing
false gods, but he broke the lirst also by
bringing in heathen deities. The great
sin of Ahab, wliich distinguished him
from his predecessors, was his introduction
of the worship of Haul, consequent upon
his marriage with .lezebcl, a name even
more infamous than his own; and hi*
formal establishment ot this gross and
palpable idolatry as the .eligion of the
state. "Jezebel. ' One of the worst characters
mentioned in the MTinlnma Silm

Samaria and exterminate the worship of

to hide from the storm <>i Iter wrath. Iler
influence was Iso powerfully felt in Judah.
"Kthbaal." .Jezebel's royal father was r*
priest of Flaal and murdered his own
mother, King I'hiletos. lie was a lit
parent of this woman. "Zidonians." This
term was used anions the Hebrews with
much latitude. Josephus calls Kthbaal
King of the Tyrians and Zidonians>. It is
probable that both Tyre ami Xidon. with
the adjacent towns, were often under one
government. "Served Haal." The chief
male god among the Phoenicians, as Ashtoreth
was the female divinity. An unholy
alliance would never be entered into it tin;
foul were not first demoralized. The results
show that mixed marriages are dangerous.

Dogs and Automobiles.
T? commenting on a recent accident
in which a largo automobile was upset
and badly damaged by running into
a dog, tho Country Life, of Ixmdon,
eayB: Tho wonder is that more incidents
of this kind do not happen
considering that tho majority of dogs,
though they will run out of the way
of a trotting horse, will not stir an
inch out of the direct path of an approaching
car. Many of them, moreover,
if on the sidewalk, will rush
violently into mo middle ot the road
as a car passes, and It Is only by a
violent swerve on the driver's part
that the Immolation of the animal
can be averted. The pace of the vehicle
scarcely enters Into the question;
the dog simply rushes out at
right angles as soon as the car Is
opposite; indeed, the animal's best
chance of escape Is for the vehicle to
be so fast that It has sped by before
the dog has had time to hurl Itself
under the back wheels.
The Pluck of Edison.
There aro today about a quarter ot
a billion lncandcscent lamps In this
country. The man who has not seen
an electric light 1b looked upon as a
curiosity. But It Is only twenty-flvo
yeare since Edison succeeded In making
a practical electric light, after
three years of failures.
Mr. Edison began his work on an
electric light in 187G. In two years ho
had made nothing but failures and he
had lost hl9 health. He took a month's
vacation and began again. All tho
greatest electricians of the world
said that an Incandescent lamp was
Impossible. But Edison persevered,
and in a few months more hit upon
the right idea. On Christmas Day,
2879, Ms office was lit up for the first
time with the new lights, which aro
today in all parts of tho world.
