Ly FRANK DE WITT TALMAGE, D.D. Pastor of Jefferson Park Presby* teri&n Church, ChicaL^o J.os Angelos, Cal.. Feb. 14.—In deal ing‘with those mysteries of religion that are beyond human understanding and which many find a stumbling block to belief the ]>n acher in urges their ncci ptanee by first essential > 'P toward elucidation. The text Is I Timothy iii. 10. "Great is the mystery of godliness." Ignorance is a stunted scoffer. As a dwarf si;.' will ridicule the helping hand of knowledge, which she is too stior': of stature to reach. As an icon oclastic waif of the street she will hurl derisive missiles at the big square win dows of the temple of wisdom, whose walls she is too puny to topple down. ‘•Come," said an aristocratic but very ignorant woman of London to her .guest—“come into the front room. I want to show you a poor, crazy, delud ed and yet harmless old man. lie seems to have an intelligent face, but there he sits in the house just aci*ss the street hour*after hour, day after day and week after week as a little child, with a clay pipe, blowing soap bub bles.” WTc was the frivolous hostess who was pa ronizingly asking her guest to laugh at the old man who seemed to find enjoyment in blowing a few soap bubbles in Leicester square, London.' Not one person of this generation ever heard of her name. Who was the poor, silly old man of intelligent face, with a penny clay pipe, blowing soap bub bles? He was Isaac Newton, whose skull incased the greatest brain of his 'time. He was Isaac Newton, laborious ly, Intensely, unremittingly studying the laws of the refraction of light, for which investigations and discoveries be was to be honored by scientific so cieties all around the world. It is never safe to take public opinion as a guide in estimating men or things. Shallow critics often assume a sapient mien and in supercilious tone deride the wisdom they cannot comprehend. A stuffed owl with spectacles on nose may pose in a museum as an em blem of wisdom, but the winged den izen of the forest hooting in the dark ness is no feathered oracle. Foot]>rlntH of Truth. How often have the pure white gar ments of wisdom been bespattered and befouled by blatant, bombastic igno rance! How often has the philosopher and the truth seeker been taunted with bis failure to solve the problems of the universe! He does not know every thing; no man more conscious of the fact than he. But should lie o# that | account desert the fountain of wisdom and refrain altogether from drinking at the Pierian spring? Should the sci entific student be so discouraged at bis limitations as to destroy the telescope because it does not reach the limits of space? Should he throw away his mi croscope because it does not magnify enough? Is he to burn out with sense less passion eyes that are not omnis cient and wreck his eardrums because ./ <Hey fail to detect remote harmonies? Isaac Newton, himself the greatest philosopher of his time, was one of the humblest of men. At the end of bis life be said: “I know not how I may appear to others. As for myself, | I seem to be like a schoolboy playing at the foot of the sand dunes, gather ing here a white shell and a smoother stone than ordinary, while the great sea of knowledge lies all unexplored before me.” Because a man does not know everything, that is no reason why he should despise the “temple of wisdom.” Because here and there a | veil or a mist cannot be penetrated, that is no reason ■'vlij* lie should be come a ground mole and not try to fol- j low In the self revealed footprints of truth. MyHterit'N of (lie (•OHitel. There are two purposes for this ser mon. The first is to talk about some of the great mysteries of the gospel. ' I would show you that about every church altar there are great Appala- ; Chian ranges, great towering tnoun- ! tain peaks of mysteries. So high they are that tin* mind of man cannot attain to them, yet each hears the mark of divine certitude, the mark of the cross is stamped upon them as the Mount of the Holy Cross in Colorado bears the sign of the cross. To this sign we bow and believe, even though we can not understand. Peter could not under- j stand; John of the Apocalypse could not understand, and Paul, beholding them, exclaimed, “Great is the mys- ; tery of godliness!” What those mighty intellects could not grasp must be a mystery to us until it is fully ex plained beyond the grave. The second pun*ose of the sermon is the practical side. It is to remind you that, though we now “know only In part,” that part is sufficient for all the great purposes of salvation and re demption. It is to prove, ns E. H. Chapin puts it, that “although we see through a glass darkly we do see something,*’ and that that “some thing” is sufficient If we welcome It as a gospel handmaid to lead us into per fect peace and to lead us to that throne of God where each can say, “I shall know even ns also I am known." The mystery of the Trinity: How can .there he three persons and one Godhead? “Three in One and One in Three?” That is an Inexplainnble mys- tpry. “You must be very careful,** wrote a dear ministerial friend to me when 1 was preaching a series of ser mons upon the Holy Spirit "you must he very careful not to convey the false Idea to your people that there are thres distinct and separate thrones In heav en." Tt Is a mystery to he reverently accepted beyond the poweMof the hu man mind to understand, riu] that It should he- so is noi strange, for God himself has declared, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” We cannot explain the personality of God any more than you can tell why the grass grows or the, sun shines. But we do foci and know that, like the grass and the light, the Trinity of the God head is a great divine fact. And, fur- F'ermoro, we do feel and know that as God the Father lives, so Christ was born into this world not only to save us from sin, but also to prove that God the Creator is a God of love. Mystery, mystery, mystery! A high, deep, im- this sermon faith as the penetrable^ and overpowering mystery! Yet the mystery of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is a fact revealed to us, to be accepted by faith and bringing to all who so receive it a message of joy and peace. A Mystery Kssejitlal to Peace. Consider how near this conception of Christ, the Divine Son manifested in human flesh, brings the Deity to us. If we did not have the manifestation of God’s love in Jesus Christ, how would we worship? Even the lowest forms of religious truths cannot exist in the heart of man without some kind of an incarnation. I said some years ago in India to a Buddhist priest: “You do not believe that these hideous idols of wood and clay and stone have any divine power? You do not believe that those bleared eyes and that horrible grin and that twisted body is a god? You know you do not. Why, I could knock him down with my hand. I could crush him with the heel of my foot.” “Oh, yes,” answered the priest. “What you say is true. We intelligent leaders of the east do not believe those idols are gods. But the common peo ple cannot conceive of a spirit God as our prophet has revealed him to us. So we give the common people a god of clay and wood, which they can see and touch.” Brother, our God has sent us Jesus Christ in the flesh. He came as a revelation of God. He came so that our finite minds might grasp the infinite. He came to show us that God could suffer as we suffer and be tempt ed as we are tempted, yet be without sin. He came as a God of never end ing love. Mystery! Mystery! The Trinity is an inexplainable mystery. Yet it is a mystery we all need, a mys tery we should all accept. It is a mys tery essential to our peace. Mystery of the Trinity. Thus the mystery of the Trinity means simply this: God the Father comes to us and says: “To explain to you all things, my child, would be to set before you what you could not com prehend. Your mind is too weak to grasp it, any more than a little child in ids father’s laboratory can understand or grasp the chemical principle of the adhesion of the basic elements. But if you see the Godhead veiled by a hu man form, if you see the Spirit of God animating a being like yourself, if you come in contact with the divine perfec tions, active in human environment, you will then have a glimpse of the glory of the Godhead and realize some thing of the supernal mystery of Fa ther, Son and Holy Spirit. All this I will show to prove that I am God, the Loving Father, and ye are my chil dren.” Today we find the Trinity a mystery. But, though a mystery, deep and high and overpowering, it is a mystery so simple that a little child can reverence the majesty of the Fa ther, can realize the love of the Son and can yield to the influence of the Holy Spirit. Great and yet beautiful and simple is the mystery of godliness in Jesus Christ. The conflicting doctrines of God’s omnipotence and man’s free agency are an inexplainable mystery. Yes, we know that God is infinitely greater than man. We know that the Creator, who holds the seas in the palm of his hand and at whose touch the volcanoes smoke and the earth trembles and whose voice is the voice of the storm, lias supreme control over the creatures he has made. He can say to man, “Go. and he goeth; conic, and he cometh; do this, and he doeth it.” But, though God the Omnipotent is truly all pow erful, I know 1 can resist his will. I know, as a free agent, I can raise my hand or lower it. I know that I can clinch my fist with hate or have the open palm of love. I know I can walk across this pulpit to the right or to the left. I know I can choose between right and wrong. Free, free! Free •am I, gloriously free! A mystery—a j great ^unfathomable mystery! With God tin* omnipotent I am still man, the | free agent. Harmonizing Creed*. These two conflicting facts are true, but who can reconcile them? Thcre- ! fore, after we have once accepted this mystery we can harmonize all Chris tian creeds at the foot of the cross. With it we can take down the bars of sectarianism and call all members of the different Protestant churches our brothers and our sisters. “How can you do that?” says some one to me. Simply enough. After this mystery— lids great fundamental mystery—Is once granted the question of the man ner of your sendee and the church in which you w»Il worship is determined by the aspect from which you view your relation to God. If I begin to argue from God down to man, I be come a Calvinist. If I say to myself, "I know God is omnipotent; I know he can foresee all things; he can save me if he will, I know,” then I natu rally go Into the 1’resbyterlan church. But If I say to myself, “I know I am a free agent: I know I can accept or re ject my Heavenly Father,” I go Into the Methodist church. Then, Instead of arguing from God down to man, I argue from man up to God. It Is sim ply the difference of putting the em phasis of my creed upon God’s om nipotence or mnn’p free agency. Yet, though I was born a Calvinist and have been baptized In n CnlvlnJstle 1 church and have received my thoo- : logical education in a Oalvinistie semi- ; nary, yet today I feel just as much at homo In the Methodist church ns I do j in the Presbyterian. 1 could just as ; logically be a member of a Methodist conference as I am now a member of a Calvinistic presbytery. A IJIlllenH Task. The harmonizing of tlu- two doctrines —God’s omnipotence and man's free agency—is a task that many have at tempted In vain. But it is a glorious mystery that should make of believers af the different Protestant churches brothers and sisters at the foot of the cross. Therefore, my Christian broth er, if you are living In a small country town do not make the mistake of try ing to run in that village live or six different churches when there are only enough inhabitants to support one. Do not try to run a Congregational church and a Methodist church and a Lu theran church and a Baptist church and an Episcopalian church and a Unit ed Presbyterian church. Do not keep on continually talking about “my church.” All Christian churches ought j to belong to you and you to them. The | difference of Protestant creeds is mere-; ly that of extra emphasis upon some one of God’s great attributes, llemem- j her hereafter that you ought to be able to worship God just as devoutly and earnestly before a Methodist altar as at an Episcopalian chancel or as In a Presbyterian pew. God 1ms many gos pel sheepfolds. These sheep arc all fed by the same Divine Shepherd, although at times they are separated from each other by the sectarian fences built by man’s creed and by Infinite ignorance. “Othe^ sheep have I which are not of tnis fold” applies as much to the Protestant church across the street as to your own chapel. The mystery of why God ever let sin come into the world: It is an inex plicable mystery. It is a mystery the more inexplicable because, from a hu man standpoint, if there had been no sin then there would have been no need of a place of future punishment. But, after we have once accepted the belief that a loving God has allowed sin to come into this world for a pur pose which we cannot, fathom or ana lyze, thou we find that some of the most beautiful sacrifices of Christian heroes and heroines have been inspired from this source to overcome the aw ful and eternal effects of evil. If there had been no sin there would have been no Moffatts and Whipples and Jud- sons, no Careys and Taylors, no Wil sons and Brainerds, no Batons and El liotts in the missionary fields trying to save the ignorant, brutal and canni balistic savages from the awful degra dation of their lives. If there had been no sin thero would have been no Cath erine Booths ns “angels of light” la boring among the London slums, no Howards among the prisons, no Wil liamses to reach out rescuing hands from the Young Men’s Christian asso ciations. If there were no sin there would be no such saving work for us to do for Christ as we can one and all now perform in his name. Neoil of ChrlMt’s Love. Furthermore, If there were no sin there would be no “Saviour” as we pic ture him. What does the word “Sav iour” mean? It means a rescuer. In a physical sense it means the strong swimmer who breasts the waves and goes out beyond the life lines to bring how, through Christ, we may become part of God himself. A mystery! An unfathomable mystery! Yet a mys tery which makes heaven blaze with triumphant and far reaching light. M>s(ery of (lie ReNurrection. > Mystery of the resurrection: How is the transformation between earth and heaven to take place? We know not. We cannot explain. The more we study it the deeper becomes the mys tery. But though the resurrection is a mystery, though we cannot by human reason understand how these poor bodies of ours can be so transformed that they will live forever, we* can when reason halts proceed under the higher guidance of faith and accept the assurance of the Scriptures, that “tin's mortal shall put on Immortality,” and that "if our earthly house of this tabernacle be dissolved we have a building of God. a house not made with hands, eternal In the heavens.” How can this body which we lay in the grave, giving it over to corruption, ever be revived? We do not know bow, but we believe God and exclaim In triumph with the patriarch. “I know that my Redeemer liveth, and at last he shall stand upon the earth, and aft er my skin, oven this body. Is destroy ed, then withou’ my flesh shall 1 see God.” Nor are we left exclusively tp faith, for nature herself gives us a hint of a transformation so significant as to be encouraging. The other day my little girl brought to me a paper box, in which she had confined a caterpillar. This caterpillar had wrapped Itself up in a cocoon. The cocoon looked ex actly like a shroud. After awhile the caterpillar will emerge* from that co coon transformed into a beautiful but terfly. You cannot explain that trans formation. Neither can I. Shall we witness the wonderful process of the caterpillar’s metamorphosis from worm to butterfly and yet refuse to believe that God can, if he will, transform the physical body into a heavenly body? Mnrvelotift Tranaformatlonti. We see marvelous transformations in the natural world taking place all round us. We cannot explain them. Shall we therefore refuse to believe them? Pick up iu your hand, if you will, a common chestnut It has with in its simple shell a soft substance* which looks for all the world like a lump of hard flour pressed together. Yet in that simple substance in minia ture is every known part of the chest nut tree. Within that shell is the root, the bark, the branch, the leaf. If that simple nut can change into the branches of the wide spreading tree, may not we believe that our physical bodies, under the divine chemistry, may undergo an equally wondrous change which we cannot comprehend any more than wo can tell how or when the transformation is to take place? A mystery, a mystery! How do we go down mortal and come up immortal; go down corrupt and come up incorrupt? It is a mystery we cannot explain. Yet it is a mystery which has its anal ogies in the natural world. It is a mystery which promises each one of us a personality and an individuality in the eternal mansions. Grand, g®- rious, hopeful and blessed is the mys- i tery of the resurrection. I have preached this sermon on mys teries because I want young people, and especially young men, to fully realize that there are some statements found in the Bible that they should First sign of RHEUMATISM.

It means the | accept in faith, though they may never fireman who climbs the ladder and amid the breathless silence of the on- j lookers plunges into the flames and ! brings out the unconscious man and woman and carries them to safety just before the crooked walls totter and fall. It means, in a physical sense, a Henry M. Stanley plunging into the African forests to save an Emin Pasha or a Captain Schley heading his ships north ward to save a Greely and a Melville. If there is no danger, then there can be no Saviour or rescuer. And because the eternal results of sin are so great, therefore, the divine love of Christ’s sacrifice is brought forth in the brighter contrast. We are not marveling today why the human craft was allowed to be stranded upon the rocks of sin, but we are proclaiming the fact that on ac count of our impending eternal ship wreck the gospel life line is flung out and the gospel lifeboat is being pushed through the raging, surging, stormy seas. We cannot explain why sin was ever allowed to come into the world. But after we accept its advent as a fact, then the cross, on account of our eter nal danger, can become our all in all. With the sainted Gotthold we may say before the flaming fires of eternal death: “For my own part my soul is like a hungry and thirsty child, and I need Christ’s love and consolation for my refreshment. I am a wandering and lost sheep, and I need him as a good and faithful shepherd. My soul is like a frightened dove pursued by a hawk, and I need his wounds for a refuge. I am a feeble vine, and I need ills cross to lay hold of and wind my self about. I am a sinner, and I need his righteousness. I am naked and bare, and I need his holiness and in nocence for a covering. I am in trou ble and alarm, and I need his solace. Simple and foolish am I, and I need the guidance of Ins Holy Spirit. Am I ar raigned by Satan at the divine tribunal, he must be my advocate. Am I in af fliction, he must be my helper. Am I persecuted by the world, he must de fend me. When I am forsaken he must be my support; when dying, my life; when moldering In the grave, my resur rection.” Why did God let sin come into the world? We cannot understand it. But after we have accepted the fact that the good God has allowed sin to come into the world for a purpose, then, on account of the eternal danger threatening us,, we see as never before glorious sacrifices, both human and divine. We see on account of salva tion from sin how Christ’s blood will not only lift us above the angels, but fully pnderstand them in this life. Oh, man, if you are not ready to accept some facts about Christ and salvation you cannot understand then you are like a foolish man trying to encompass the Atlantic ocean with a sewing girl’s thimble or like a little child peevishly sulking because you cannot understand the laws of gravity. God is too big for your finite mind to compass. Heav en is too large a place for you in your study to bike apart and put together again as a little girl might play with her doll house. Accept ChriKt. I preach this sermon also for an in spiration. There is in our gospel enough of the plain and practical to lead us to Christ. Beyond that there fire mysteries, and we do not deny it, but in those very mysteries there are truths to which some sense deep with in our nature responds with a certain ty ci. strong and as impregnable as the cert, inty that we derive from our sense of sight and touch. The exist ence and presence of Jesus are no mere phantasy to his people. It is a living, actual presence as real to them and as recognizable as the presence of a wife whose footsteps you hear and recog nize in the darkness, though you can not see her form. They are conscious that he is npar them, ns you would be conscious of the nearness of a beloved son in your pew this morning, even if you did not see him enter. Brother, sister, for many years trou bled with mysteries, wash your eyes today in the “water of life” find look and live. Accept Christ as your Sav iour and then leave all the Inexplica ble mysteries to be explained to you in u better world. “We now see as through a glass darkly;” yes, but, thank God, we can see enough to per ceive the pardoning love of God In the face of Jesus Christ.
