Los Augoles, Cal.. Aug. 18.—In pic
turesque Imagery the preacher in this
I sermon shows tin* significance of the
! testimony of Israel's great leader to
j Jesus as the Messiah. The text is
Luke xvi, 31, "If they hear not Moses
! and the prophets, neither will they In*
j persuaded, though one rose from the
i dead.”
The symbol of the graveyard is used
by Jes^s for Ills gospel teachings. Just
as many artists use skeletons for
their models in great artistic' master
pieces. The parable of Dives and
Lazarus Is nothing more or less than
a great panorama, a collection of ver-
i hal pictures, showing the eternal trag
| edy of a misspent life.
Scene the First.—An eastern prince
is in his palace. All that wealth aial
I power and temporal grandeur can give
: is his. His clothes are of royal purple.
His dining room is a banquet hall.
His walls are of whit<‘ marble. His
iioors are mosaics^fclis hallways a id
bedrooms and parlws are filled with
statuary and richest tapestries and
beautiful artistic masterpieces. Fpou !

I the celestial advent of the beggar and
the eternal incarceration of him who
1 had once been king among men. The
i as.iih pauper lias been crowned. The ;
: earthly prime lias Iwen s' ripped of ills :
i all. Then Dives, down in the region !
i of the to t. look- up and sees Lazarus,]
' who had ot. e ut his doorstep a do-
sji-od ho'- r,r. but now cherished and
! cared for by Abraham, the father of
the faithful, and he cries out: “I pray
; thee, father that thou wouldst send
Lazarus to my father’s house, for I
j have five brethren, that he ma\ testify
unto them, lest they also come into
this place of torment.”
Then what happens? God seems to
roach down and lift a skeleton out of
its grave and clothe it again with
flesh. He stands this resurrected dead
man before us and points to him as he
says: "If they hear not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they he per
suaded, though one rose from the
dead.” The statement practically is
that if a man is open to conviction lie
will lie convinced by the writings of
Moses and the prophets; if he Is not
convinced by them, nothing would
convince him—not even the testimony
of a specter. Tills is a startling asser
tion. Have we ever fully realized
that those words are so convincing?
What was there in the life and writ
ings of that ancient lawgiver that
makes them so influential?
Thf Rank of Moses.
Moses by the law of adoption took
the rank of one who was well Ikirn.
He was the adopted son of Pharaoh’s
daughter. He wat^the heir apparent
of the greatest throne on earth. He
had all that wealth and position ami
honor could give him. He was lx>rn
great. He was rocked in a golden
cradle and fed out of a golden spoon
and had servants innumerable to nm
his bidding. When he was carried
forth in one of the royal chariots the
people used to kneel and say, "There
goes the child who will one day rule
over us as king." In the sight of the
law he was not a pauper, a slave or
a Hebrew. He had lieen raised to
royal rank. All that he had to do
was to keep his lips closed, and he
might live in affluence and inherit a
throne. And yet this Egyptian prince,
tills adopted child of Pharaoh's daugh
ter, was ready to surrender all of king
ly power in order to l)e a follower of
the true God. Now, every effect pil'itd
have a logical cause. A man does not
surrender a great prize of life Just
for a whim. There must have lieen
some great impelling force in Moses’
lift* to have led him to serve God and
espou/e the cause of the Hebrew
slave.
We have read of men and women
surrendering their faith for an earthly
throne, but did you ever know of a
man surrendering an earthly throne
for his religion unless he deeply and
conscientiously believed in that reli
gion? When a German princess a few
years ggo married Emperor Nicholas
and became Empress Allx of all the
Uusslas, she renounced the Lutheran
church and joined the Greek church,
of w hich her husband is the spiritual
bead. When the English Princess
Ena of Ratteuherg became Queen Vic
toria of Spain, she left the Episcopa
lian'church, In which she had been
confirmed and baptized, and Joined the
Catholic church, which Is the estab
lished church of her adopted country.
These two princesses changed their
religious creed in order to win a royal
diadem. But what would you say If
the present Prince of Wales should Join
tne Roman Catholic church? What
would you say if he should turn from
the Episcopalian church and give hln
religious fealty to the pope of Rome,
as did Cardinal John Henry Newman?
If he did this, he would by that act
surrender ali bis rights to the British
throne. The British people will not
have a Roman Catholic for their king.
When they got rid of James II., the
Last king of that religion, they made
a perpetual stipulation that none but
Protestants should sit on the British
throne. The prince knows that the
price he would have to pay for joining
the Roman Catholic church would be
the loss of his throne. If he con
cluded to join that church In spite of
that penalty, you would say that mau
must be sincere. No mau lightly re-
noNiices a throne. And yet this Is Just
what Moses did. He wfc the son of
Pharaoh’s daughter. He had, in the
sight of the law, the right of succes
sion, as if he had really royal blood
in ids veins. The Egyptian throne
was his if he simply kept still and
said nothing. And yet here was a
prince, here was a young man l)om
great—one to whom every selfish pur
pose of the heart said, ‘‘Be still; do
not ruin your chances of an earthly
throne,” declaring, “Nay, I will wor
ship the true God and will be faithful
to my enslaved people.” A man who
could come to such a decision, who
actually renounced a throne that he
might obey the dictates of his con
science, was a man whose words are
entitled to weight If a mau would
not listen to him, would not be con
vinced by him, he would not be con
vinced by any one, not even by n
spirit.
A Prince In Intellect.
But Moses was not only a man of
high station; he was a prince in in
tellect as well as a royal prince. H<*
had one of the greatest intellects th*“
world lias ever produced. But more
than that, he had one of the greatest
opportunities for developing that in
tellect. The l>est Egyptian teachers
were Ids.* The greatest knowledge of
the then known world was concentrat
ed in Egypt. And Moses was educated
in the most famous schools of that •
land. Who can fully estimate the j
knowledge of those ancient Egyptian-? |
Some time ago I saw one of the most i
dramatic pictures ever published in a
newspaper. Its title was “The Body
of an Ancient Pharaoh Under the
Electric Light." There In hi sar oph-
agus lay the mummy of Ameuopbis
II., who reigned in Egypt in lofld B
about fifty years before Moses was
born. The face of the am lent ruler
was Just as perfect as on the day
when the embalmer laid him away
for his last sleep. Right over ids fore
head in the picture was a imxleni e'e •-
trie light, shining full upon the face
of tin 1 a indent king. There in the back
ground of the picture was a band of
tourists looking down upon the quiet
sleeper. As I looked at that picture
that electric light seemed to be saying j
to tin* old king: “Awake, Amenophis! I
Wake up! Look about and see how
much the twentieth century has ac
complished.” 'IFen In imagination 1
saw the old mummy open bis eyes and
look around. He seemed out of place,
as did old Rip Van Winkle when he
came down from the mountains after
his long sleep. Then in imagination I
saw one of the tourists ns a guide take
the hand of the old king and lead him
about Cairo. He pointed to this won
der and that wonder of the twentieth
century. Then I fancied 1 board the
aged ruler say: “Yes, you have mar
velous wonders here, lint I want to tell
you that my people were a race of
giants. Where is old Egypt? Where
is old Egypt, of which these pyramids
and monuments are mere remnants of
her former grandeur? Why, old Egypt
has forgotten almost as much as the
twentieth century lias ever developed.
Egypt was a storehouse of arts which
today are lost forever.” Wtfs it only
a dream? Was not the Egypt of an
cient Amenophis the home of erudi
tion and knowledge?
If the ancient Egyptians were not
erudite, how can you account for the
great pyramid of Cheops, which was
without any doc!,: built as an astro
nomical observatory7 .So great are tin*
massive stones of this pyramid that
to tills day scientists an* unable to un
derstand how they were lifted into
place. How can you account for the
vast canal and Irrigation system of
Egypt, thousands of years old, yet a
system from which modern irrigators
can well leani their lessons at the
present time?
Egyptians Not Ignorant.
The Egyptians were not an ignorant
people. It is a very grave question
whether they did not know as much
in their line as we know In ours.
They had their written forms for the
conveying of knowledge just as we
have now. A. II. Bayce, one of the
most famous modern Egyptian ar
chaeologists, tells us in his wonderful
book, entitled "Monument Facts and
Higher Critical Fancies,” that “the
Babylonia of the age of Abraham was
u more highly educated country than
the England of George III.” liien lie
goes on to show that Egyptian litera
ture dates back to the time of King
Meues, in r>702 B. C., or over 4,000
years before Moses was born. He
goes further and shows that no
Egyptian in the third and fourth
period was looked upon as a gentleman
unless he knew how to read. The
business men. the farmers, the over
seers, as well as the priests and
scribes, were conversant with Egyp-
Alan literature. “8o universal was
knowledge among the ancient Egyp
tians of Moses’ time that they did not
believe there was immortality for any
Egyptian unless lie, as a resurrected
spirit, could read the sentences which
were carved iiihui his own tomb.”
Thus It Is not only Moses as a prince
who Is testifying to us today about
the ways of God; it is Moses the sage
ns well; It is Moses who had studied
all the philosophies of his day; it is
Moses the erudite scholar, with the
vast libraries of his time by his side,
who comes to testify to us of Christ.
Do not the words of my text have a
deeper significance when you realize
the transcendent intellectuality of this
Egyptian prince than when you sim
ply look upon him as the adopted sou
of Pharaoh’s daughter and the heir
apparent of the Egyptian throne? By
character and by attainments he Is en
titled to our attention. “And he said
unto him, If they bear not Mosee and
the prophets, neither will they be per
suaded, though one rose from the
dead.”
His Creative Brain.
But Moses’ brain was not simply re
ceptive. He had a creative as well as
an absorbing Intellect. He could give
out as well as take in. You know that
there are certain Intellectual men who
seem to lack the creative facility.
They learn as parrots learn. When

Contrast to these great warriors and
intellectual giants, there was a col
lection of Hebrews. These Hebrews
were slaves, deprived of all books.
They could not learn the science of
arms. They were brutally abused.
They were killed off every year by the
hardest kind of manual labor. As a
people they were more cowed and
downtrodden than tbe black slave
ever was. Now, who liberated these
men? Who was the Spartacus who
rallied the Hebrew people about him?
There was no Spartacus, because there
were no Hebrew slaves who In the
slightest respect knew the science of
war. These Hebrew slaves were lib
erated—that Is true—but how? By one
man walking Into the king's palace
and defying the king with one little
•wand. But behind that wand was the
omnipotent God. That one man. by
the power of that one stick, made the
mightiest nation on earth bow its knee

we have also rejected all the testimony
