Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 13.—For these times of multiplied and conflicting religious beliefs that vex and confuse the earnest soul the preacher in this sermon supplies the only test whereby the truth or falsehood of any religion is to be discovered. The text is Mat thew v, 14, “Ye are the light of the world.” At no time since the beginning of the world has man been confronted with such a multiplicity of diverse and even conflicting systems of religious belief as now. Yet all of these sys tems appeal with more or less force for his acceptance and support. In the east Mohammedanism, Confucianism, Buddhism and similar beliefs maintain the ancient vigor of their creed in the appeal to human credulity and super stition, while Europe and the western world have their numerous systems of creeds and “cults,” each presenting its claims for man’s belief and allegiance. Thus the great problem presents itself: Are these systems of religious belief and worship really efficacious? Are their dogmas, tenets and creeds, their ways of thinking and living, their so cial, fraternal or religious spirit as or ganizations—are these things what they onght to be or what they claim to be? Are their teachings true? And how may we distinguish beyond all doubt the true from the false? An infallible test is supplied to us by Christ himself by which we are en abled to decide as to the real value of any religious system. He tells us that we may know whether its claims are valid by its effect on the lives of its adherents. "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.” An Illustration of this test is furnish ed by the fakirs of India. The prind- ple*of self denial is commendable, and we admire men who sacrifice their com fort and devote themselves to service for the world. But the principle ceases to be admirable when it produces vol untary squalor and filth such as are ex hibited by the fakirs. It must be a corrupt tree that produces specimens of humanity so debased and disgusting as these men. I have seen these fakirs. They did not seem to me to be men or even wild beasts. They were a lower creation. They seemed to have crawled out of the darkest caverns of an inferno. I have seen them with their matted hair and filthy bodies; I have seen them with uncut finger nails six inches long and twisted about in all shapes; I j have seen them, as John L. Stoddard describes them in one of his lectures: ! “A combination of beggar, fanatic, im- j | postor and spy. In disgusting sur- , 1 roundings resembling a garbage heap, ; a score of these men were seated, en- ! tirely naked, upon a mound of ashes, in which they rolled repeatedly. They even rubbed the dirt all over their bodies, which had been previously j greased in order to retain it. Their ; hair, matted with filth, reached nearly to their waists and was painted yel low. and on this they threw occasion- ! ally handfuls of dust and ashes. A 1 sickening feeling came over me at the sight of this human degradation, espe cially when I remembered that there are in India more than a million of these half crazed mendicants and frauds, who are revered and almost worshiped by multitudes of men and women, who will actually stoop and kiss their feet.” “Are these the fruits of India fakir- ism?” you ask. “Is that the result of the oath of poverty under which some Hindoos worship? Then I want none of it. Away with it. Its fruits are worm eaten and filthily diseased and had.” By the fruits found in the lives of the believers ye must judge the re sult of a creed or system of belief. Not True Wornhlp. Why do you not worship God as do the dancing dervishes of the east? “How do they worship him?” you ask. Instead of entering a little church, as you or I, to kneel in prayer, they begin to move around in a circle. They keep on circling around and around until your brain gets dizzy with looking at them. They dance on^id on, more and more furiously, until aMfr awhile some work themselves into the most violent forms of physical hysteria or in utter bodily exhaustion drop In their tracks in a dead swoon. “Oh,” you say to me, “that is no true worship of God. The holy God does not expect any devotee to make an Imbecile out of himself. Away with the worship of the dancing dervishes!” By the fruits of a creed or a cult, studied in the lives of the men and women who believe in and practice it. you can Judge the truth or the falsi ty of the teachings. By the same criterion according to which we Judge the failures of the false religions the world is to Judge the failure or the elficacy of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Saviour, in toe words of ray text. Is practically saying: “Men. women. It is to you I look to exhibit the principles of my religion •o the world. My life will be short, :ny teaching will soon be forgotten, lutes* you. my followers, embody it in your lives. The only way in which the world can know the grandeur and puri ty of the truths I have taught must be in the lives you lead. Ye are the light of the world. Ye are my representa tives'upon earth. Ye are the flaming torches to guide sinners to the foot of the cross. Hear me. men! Hear me, women! Hear me. children, who pro fess to bo my disciples! Ye tire the light of the world, by which the world may judge who:her or 11 » my gospel is a savi ig •■ isjiel.'' Ye members of Christi tn cb'.m lies. is it not an over whelming fact that it depends on our lives what is tlaj estimate the world will form of the religion we profess?' What an impressive fact it is Miat men will determine by our lives whether | Christianity is the sustaining, the' transforming power that it claims to 1 be! Christ’s disciples, in the first place, must have a divine light. Their tires must be ignited at the great altars of God’s mercy. They must so live and act that they shall feel God lias par doned and cleansed them from all sin. They must so live and act that other people will feel that spiritual fires are burning within them and that those spiritual tires are cleansing the Impuri ties out of our lives. The greatest puri fier on earth is fire. As we are appoint ed to lead othe:-s to the Christian al tars we must guide them by a flame which is pure, because Christ’s fires have burned and are burning within us. We Need the Divine Flame. Only the divine light can produce the true light of life. “One day the lantern was talking to the candles which stood upon the mantel,” wrote an imagina tive author. “Oh, how much my mas ter thinks of me.” it said. “He has of ten told me it would be impossible for him to go out into the dark nights if I did not go with him to point out the way.” “Aye, aye,” answered a candle, “that may be all true. But your master would sing a different song if it were not for my bright eye in your socket, shining through your windows of glass. Did it never occur to you, O lantern, that you would amount to naught un less my light shone within you and through you?” Christian disciples, does it not occur to you that you are as noth ing and will continue to be as nothing as a divine light unless Christ's light is in you and shines through you? We must have a divine fl .me burning with in us before we can be a divine light to a sinful and a dying world. But. though the divine flame within us is absolutely essential for the send ing forth of a divine light out of our lives, how many of Christ’s professed disciples neglect imparting the holy fires within themselves which are al ways burning at God’s mercy seat! In one of the heathen temples of the east I saw a fire which, the priest told me, had been in existence hundreds of years. Those priests never allow that fire to go out. Have we always kept the divine flame burning within us? By diligent and unceasing prayer, by continual reading of God’s word, by holy communications with God’s saints, by a pure, gentle, true, forgiving spirit, have we always fed the necessary fuel to the fire.-i of our spiritual life? Like Enoch, have we been continually walk ing baud In hand with God? Do not think for one Instant that you can im pose upon the world an earthly flame as a heavenly light. Music For Music's Sake. A musician told me recently that she could Intuitively feel when she was playing whether or not the members of her audience loved music. If there were twenty listeners present and nine teen were merely pretending to be lov ers of harmony,she would play over the heads of those nineteen to the twenti eth, who loved music for music’s sake. So in your life God knows whether your light is a divine flame, and mau also intuitively can separate the earth ly light from the divine. Oh, so called | Christian disciples’before you attempt to lead others to the cross get the di vine fires burning within you at the al tars of your own hearts! Be not like the five foolish virgins with lamps, but with no divine oil for their lamps. Pray, pray, pray! Plead, plead, plead at the altars of mercy for this light! He only can make the spiritual fires burn within you. When the divine fires begin to burn within us, what happens? Their influ ence exerts Itself ail around us. Their power is felt by the people with whom we come in contact. Their quickening rays fall on fields that we know not of and nourish and develop seed that may have been carried from remote sources. Many years ago Mr. Beecher, homesick and lonely, was wandering through an Alpine village, where, to his surprise, he found some of the Ameri can flowers growing in the gardens of the Swiss hamlets far from their na tive soil. When our gospel light be gins to shine it will develop spiritual plants In fields or rocky soil and in mountain ravines, far from the places we ever expect to find them. Spiritual Llirht Needed. Did you ever stop to think that spir itual seeds are a great deal like the common seeds we plant in our gardens? Their development depends not more upon the soil than the sunbeams which kiss them. “What is the matter with my garden?” I ask a neighbor. “I have bought exactly the saine*kind of seed as you. , I have faithfully watered the ground every morning and evening. I have* dug out all my weeds as soon as they poked their green heads above the turface of the earth. Y'et here am I with a few straggling plants looking for all the world as though they were dying from a fatal attack of typhoid in a ’hospital of flowers,’ while you have roses galore and great, sturdy flo ral beauties that are scattering their incense every whither.” “Ah,” answers my neighbor, “you have starved your plants for light. You have not given them the sun’s rays. Make your garden not under the shadow of a wall. Dig It in a place where the first sunbeam which dances over the eastern hills can play hide and seek among your roses. Give them sunlight! Flowers, like veg etables and harvest fields, must Ijave light They must have light 1” All men have their spiritual seeds within them, even the lowest of social outcasts. These seeds may be developed. But what they need is spiritual light. If you are the light of the world, it may be your privilege by the grace of God to quicken them into life. They are dormant now, but when the light im planted in your soul shines upon them they may awake Into vigorous life and bear fruit to the glory of God. What sinful man needs is gospel light, divine light, spiritual light. If this deduction is true, I would be careful how your spiritual light touches that drunkard or that beggar or that woman with a faded shawl who goes down under the gaslight. I would be careful how you speak to that man who cheats you in business and has lied about you. The ancient Romans had a custom of placing a lighted lamp in the coffins of their dead. Duriug the pontificate of Paul III., when the eolfln was dug up containing the body of Tullia, tiie daughter of Cicero, the famous orator, such a lamp was found among her bones. It was a strange idea to give the dead a light on their path beyond the grave. Better far is the Christian hope that the divine light, kindled during life in their souls, will shed its rays on their path to the heavenly haven. A Guiding; Beacon. Our divine Sght is a quickening and transforming light. It is also a guid ing light. It not only calls into spir itual activity those human seeds buried in the quagmires of sin; it guides to Christ those wandering souls which, like a mariner who has lost his reck oning. are drifting toward the rocks of destruction. How many n weary soul tossed in the storm, with hope and courage failing, may fi.id strength and spirit revive as it sees the divine light kindled by the grace of God in your soul shining out clear and true, us the sailor is cheered by the sight of the Diamond shoal light, which signals year in and year out fifteen miles to sea ward off Cape Hatteras, or the Cape Charles fight burns upon the water front of old Virginia, or the Hog island shoal lighthouse burns off Rhode Is land, or the Braddock point lighthouse stands sentinel upon the banks of Lake Ontario! How necessary that the Christian’s light should be always bright and shin ing! How many souls there may be looking to it for guidance through the storms of life! If it failed to burn, those souls might lose their way as, were the Barnegat light snuffed out, some noble ship freighted with precious lives might in the darkness go crashing on the reefs. Near Michigan City I enter a lighthouse established there many years ago by the United States government. I see there an old wom an, over eighty years of age, of the name of Miss Harriet E. Colfax. For forty years she has cared for that teethig guards about them In a legal sense. SiinlM-n him Cure DlMenNe. The sunbeams can cure physical dis ease. The gospel light, if Christian people will only perform their Chris tian duties at the ballot box. will eure governmental disease. The late Dr. Neils Finsen by scientific investigation found that certain microbes would die under certain colored lights. We know that all governmental injustices and so cial crimes and city temptations will disappear under the bright rays which may be flashed from the gospel light. Thus it is every Christian’s duty to see to it that as far as he may be able he shall have a Christian supervisor and a Christian common council and a Christian mayor and a Christian gov ernor aud a Christian congressman and a Christian senator and a Christian president of the United States. If Christian church members will stand shoulder to shoulder at the ballot box the Injustices and crimes and evil temptations which run rampant through our great cities will no longer exist. But I bethink myself as I come to the close of this sermon on "Tran scendent Light” that I have two duties. The one is to the servant of Jesus Christ; the second is to the man and the woman who have not yet been willing to accept the Saviour’s love. The one is to the disciple of the Chris tian light; the second Is to the child of Satan, who is living in the darkness of sin. These are the two classes of my audience. There is no third group, for “he that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” As I come to this closing part of my sermon I tremble with excitement. I know, as you ought to know, the tremendous results of your decision. Why do I tremble? Because your father, your mother, your wife, your child or the preacher of this morning cannot make you become a “child of light” if you are not willing to do so of your own accord. The gospel light, like that of the sun’s light, with all of its creating, saving power, is the easiest of all great influences to be resisted. The light nings strike everywhere. They cut to the right aud to the left With one blow they can split rocks and wreck homes and dismantle trees. The sun’s heat cannot be ignored, even if one would. When the hot summer months come, all who can do so flee from the cities and hie themselves away to the woods or the seashore. Closed doors and windows make the stifling air only the more oppressive. The poor little children moan and cry. The sick, if they are not taken away to the sea shore or the high mountains, often die. The city parks are crowdM with suf fering humanity.
