ALWAYS A MAN KOIt AN KMI'.lluKXCV.
Kvory ngo of tho world has had Its his
torians, Its philosophers, Its thinkers and
Its tenchers. Were there histories to lw
written there has always been a Moses, or
n Herodotus, or a Xenophon, or n .losephns
to wrlto them. Were there poems to be
constructed there has always been a Job
or a Homer to construct them. Were there
thrones lustrous and powerful tube lifted
there has nlwnys been a David or n Ciesar
to rnlso them. Were there feachers de
manded for the Intellect and the hearts
theru has been n Socrates, nnd n Zcno, and
a Cleanthes, and n Marcus Antoninus
coming forth on the grand nml glorious
mission. Every ngo of tho world has had
Its triumphs of reason and morality.
There has not been n single age of thu
world which hns not had some decided sys
tem of religion.
The Platonlsm, orientalism, stoicism,
Drnhmlnlsm and Huddhlsm, considering
the ages iti which they were established,
wero not lacking in Ingenuity nnd force.
Now, In this line of beuellccnt Institutions
and of noble men there appeared a person
age more wonderful tlinn any predecessor.
Ho enmo from n family without any royal
or nrlstocrntlc pretension. Ho became a
Galilean mechanic. He had no advantage
from tho schools. There wero people be
side him day after day who had no Idea
thnt ho wns going to bo anything remark
able or do anything remarkable. Vet not
withstanding all this, and without any
title or scholarly profession or .flaming
rhetoric, he startled tho world with the
strangest announcements, ran in collision
with solemn priest and proud ruler, and
with n voice that ran through temple and
pnlnce, nnd over ship's deck and mountain
top exclaimed, "I am tho light' of the
worldl"
Men wero taken idl aback at tho Idea
thnt thnt hand, yet hard from the use of
the ax, the saw, the 111U and hatchet,
should wave the scepter of authority, and
that upon that brow, from which they had
so often seen him wipe the sweat of toll,
thero would yet come thu crown of unpar
alleled splendor and of uulvcr.snldomiuloii.
We nil know how ditllctilt It is to think
that nnybody who was at school with us in
boyhood has got to bo anything great or
famous, nnd no wonder that those who
had been boys with Christ in thu streets of
Nazareth and seen him In after years in
thu days of Ids complete obscurity should
hnvo been very slow to acknowledge
Christ's wonderful mission.
From this humble point tho stream of
life flowed out. At first it was just n faint
rill, hardly nJdu to find its way down the
rock, but thu tears of u weeping Christ
added to It a volume, and it flowed on until
by tbo beauty nnd greenness of thu banks
you might kuow the path the crystal stream
wa.i taking. On and on, until tho lepers
were brought down and washed of their
leprosy, and tho dead wero lifted into the
water that they might havo life, nnd pearls
of Joy and promise weru gathered from the
brink, nnd innumerable churches gathered
on either bank, and thu tldu flows on deeper
and stronger nnd wider, until it rolls into
tho river from under the throne of God,
mingling billow with billow, and bright
ness with brightness, nnd joy with joy, and
hosanna with hosanna.

I was looking at homo of the paintings of
tho artist, Mr. Kunsett. I saw some pic
tures that weru just faint outlines; in home
places you would seu only thu branches of
a treo nnd no trunk; nnd in another cai-e
tho trunk and no branches. Hu had not
finished thu work. It would have taken
him days anil months perhaps to haw
completed It. Well, my friends, In thl
world wu get only the faintest outline of
what Christ Is. It will take all eternity to
All up the picture so loving, so kind. m
merciful, m great! Paul does not in this
chapter say of Christ hu Is good, or he Is
loving, or hu is patient, or hu is kind; hut
In hla exclamation of the text hu embraces
everything when he says, "Christ is nil
nud in all."
I remark In thu first place, Christ is
everything in thu lliblo. I do not care
wheru I open thu Hible I find Jesus. In
whatever path I start I come after awhile
to the Hcthlehcm manger. I go back to
the old dispensation nud seu a lamb on the
nltar and say, "Heboid the Lamb of Cod
which taketh away tho sin of tho world' '
Then I go and seu thu manna provided for
tho Israelites In thu wilderness, nud say.
"Jesus, the bread of life." Then I look at
tho rock which was smitten by the
prophet's rod, and as thu water gushes cut
I say, "It Is Jesus, the fountain opened for
sin and for uucleauuess."
I go imck and look at thu writings ol
Job, and hear him exclaim, "I know that
my Redeemer llveth." Then I go to Kc
klel, and I find Christ presented there as
"a plant of renown," and then I turn ov.r
to Isaiah, and Christ Is spoken of "as a
sheep before her shearers." It Is Jesus all
the way between Genesis and Mahi'iil
Then I turn over to the New Testament,
nml It is Christ in tho parable; It is Christ
in the miracle; It Is ChrUt In thu evangel
Ist's story; It is Christ In tho apostle's epl
ties, and It is Christ in thu trumpet peal of
tilt' Apocalypse. 1 know there aru a great
many people who do not llhd Christ In the
Ulhlu.
Here Is a man who studies the Hible as a
historian. Well. If you comeasn historian,
you will llnd In this book how the world
was made; how thu seas lied totheir place,
how empires weru established; how uatloi'
fought with nation, javelin ringing against
iiarbegeou, until the earth was ghastl)
with the dead. Von will see the lorone
tlon of princes, thu triumph of couquuiui.
and thu world tumid upside down mm
back ngalu nnd down again, cleft and
scartcd with grent agonies of earthquake
and tempest and battle. It Is a woudciful
history, putting to the blush all others hit lie
accuracy of Its recital and In thu stupen
dous events it records. Homer nud Thucyd
Idl asul GlblHin could make great stories
ont of little events, hut It took n Moses to
tell how the lii'twens nud tho earth wero
made, In one chapter, and to givu tho his
tory of thousands of years upon two leaves.
TIIK AKTIQVAMAH IIIIILR BTUtlKNT.
There are others who come to thu Hilda !
mere) as ant lunarians. If you comoas nn
antiquarian, you will llnd n grent many
odd things In the Hible peculiarities of
milliner nud custein, marriage nud burlnl;
peculiarities of dress, tunics, snndnN,
crisping pins, amulets and girdles nnd
tinkling ornaments. If you come to look
at military arrangements, you will find
coats of mall and Javelins and engines of
war nml rlrcumvallatloii ami encamp
ments. If you lock for peculiar musical
Instruments, you will find psalteries and
shlgiotioths and rains' horns. Tho ntitl j
(Uiirlnu will find In the Hlblu curiosities '
In agriculture, and In commerce, nnd in art,
nud In religion that will keep him .ab
sorbed a great while. Theru are those who '
comu to this Hible as you would to a cabi
net of curiosities, and you pick up this and
sav, "What n strnngu sword that 1st" and
"What a peculiar hat this 1st" and "What '
nil uiilookcd for lamp thnt 1st" nnd the
Hlblu to such becomes a ltrltlsh museum. I
Then thero are others who find nothing
in the Hlblu but the poetry. Well, If you
come as n poet, you will find In this book
faultless rhythm, and hold Imagery, mid i
startling antithesis, and rapturous lyric, '
and sweet pastoral and Instructive hurra- !
live, nnd devotional psalm; thoughts ex- I
pressed in a style more solemn than that
of Montgomery, moru bold than that of'
Milton, more terrible than that of Dante,
more natural than that of Wordsworth,
moru impassioned than that of Pollock,
more tender than that of Cowper, more
weird than than that of Spenser. This
great poem brings all thu gems of the
earth Into Its coronet, and it weaves
thu flames of judgment In its garland nnd
pours eternal harmonies in Its rhymth.
Everything this hook touches It makes
beautiful, from the plain stones of the1
Mimmer thrashing floor, nud the daughters
of Nnhor filling the trough for tho camels,
nnd thu fish pools of HcsIiImui, up to thu
, psalmist praising tiou with illapnson of
storm and whirlwind, and Job leading
I forth Orion, Arcturus and thu Pleiades.
j It is u wonderful poem, nnd n grent many
penpiu reau it as nicy no 'i nomas .Moore's
"Lulhi Hookh," nnd Walter Scott'H "Lady
of tho Lnke," nnd Tennyson's "Chnrge of
the Light Hrlgade." They sit down and
are so absorbed In looking at tho shells on
the shore that they forget to look off on
thu great ocean of God's mercy nml saiva
tiou. 11MNI) UNIIKMEH IS fiUItK TO HIIII.
Then there aru others who comu to this
book as skeptics. They marshal passage
nuainst nassime. and try to net Matthew '
nml I.likn limiitinrrel. nml wniilil linvn . i
discrepancy between what Paul and James
say about faith anil works, and they try
tbo account of Moses concerning thu ct ca
tion by moilern decisions in science, and
resolve that In all questions between the
scientific explorer and the Inspired writer
they will give the preference to the geolo
gist. These men thesu spiders, I will say
suck poison out of thu sweetest flowers.
They fatten their Infidelity upon the
truths which have led thousands to
heaven, anil In their distorted vision
prophet seems to war with prophet, and
evangelist with evangelist, and apostle
with apostle, and If they can find home had
trait of character In n man of God men
Honed In that Hlblu thesu cnrrlon crows i
caw and flap their wings over tho carcass.
Because, they cannot understand how the
whale swallowed Jonah they attempt the
more wonderful feat of swallowing t.e
monster whale of modern skepticism.
They do not believe It possible that the
Bible story should be true which snysthal
thu dumb ins spake, while they themselves
prove tho thing possible by their own ut
terances.
I nm amused beyond bounds when I hear
one of thesu men talking alioiit a future
lifu. Just nsk a man who rejects tlm'
Hlblu what heaven Is, mid hear him befog
your soul. Hu will tell you that heaven is
merely thu development of tho Internal re
sources of a man; it is an eflloresceucu of
the dynamic forces into a state of ethereal
and transcendental lucubration, In close
juxtaposition to thu ever present "was,"
and tho great "to be," and the uveiiastlug
"no." Considering themselves wise, they
are fools for time, fools for eternity.
VAIN AND FOOLISH IIISI'UTKS,
Then theru Is another class of persons
who come to thu Hlbluas controversialists.
They are enormous Presbyterians or fierce
Baptists or violent Methodists. They cut
the Hible to suit their creed Instead of cut
ting their creed to suit thu Hible. If the
Scriptures think as they do, well; if not,
so much thu worsu for thu Scriptures. The
Hlblu is merely thu whetstone on which
they sharpen thu dissecting knife of ton
troversy. They comu to it as u govern
ment in time of war comes to armories
or arsenals for weapons and munitions,
They havo declared everlasting war against
all other sects, nud they want so many
broadswords, so many muskets, so many
howitzers, so many columhlads, so much
grap't and canister, so many fleldpleces
with which to rake thu field of dispute,
for thoy mean to get the victory though the
heavens bu darkened with the smoke anil
thu earth rent with the thunder. What do
they caru about thu religion ofthuLoid
Jesus Christ?
I have seen some such men come back
from an ecclesiastical massacre as proud of
their achievements as an Indian warrior
boasting of the number of scalps hu ha
taken. I have more admiration for a man
who goes forthwith his lists to get the
championship than I have for these then

logical pugilists who mnku our theological
magazines ring with their warcry. There
aru men who seem to think thu only use of
the sword of truth Is to stick somebody.
There Is one passage of thu Scriptures that
they like better than all others, and that It
this.' "Messed be the Lord which teacheth
my hands to war, ami my fingers to fight!"
Woe to us if we come to God's word an
controversialists, or as skeptics, or as con
uoisseiirs, or as fault llnders, or merely as
KM'ts!
Thoso only get into the heart of God's
truth who couio seeking Christ, Wei

out from behind the curtain of prophecy
until he stands In the full light of Ni w

"All in nil Is Jesus" In the lllhlo.
HIS ALL SUKKICIKNCY,
I remark again that Christ Is everything
In tho grent (dan of redemption. Wu nro
slaves; Christ gives deliverance to tho cap
tive. a nro thirsty; Christ Is the river
of salvation to slake our thirst. Wo are
hungry; Jesus says, "I am the bread of
life." We are condemned to die; Christ
says, "Save that man from going down to
thu pit; I am the ransom," Wu are tossed
on ii sea of troubles; Jesus comes over it,
saying, "It Is I, be not afraid." We are In
daikness; Jesus says, "I am thu bright
and morning star." Wu nre sick; Jesus
Is thu balm of Gllead. We nro dead;
henr the shrouds rend nnd thu grave
hillocks heave as he cries, "1 am
thu resurrection and thu life; hu that
belleveth ill me, though lie weru dead, yet
shall he live." We waul Justification;
"llelng Justlllril by faith, wu hnvo peace
with (!(n1 through our Lord JesusChrlst."
Wu want to exercise faith; "Believe in the
IiOrtl Jesus Christ, and thou shall I mi
saved." I want to get from under con
demnation; "There Is now, therefore, no
condemnation to them who are In Christ
Jesus," Tho cross he carried It. The
Haines of hell he suffered them. The
shame he endured It. The crown he won
It. Heights of heaven sing It, and worlds
of light to worlds of light all round thu
heavens cry, "Glory, glory!"
Let us go forth and gather thu trophies
for Jesus. From Goleouda mines wu
gather thu diamonds, from Ceylon banks
wu gather the pearls, from all lands and
kingdoms wu gather precious stones, and
wu bring the glittering burdens and put
them down ut thu feet of Jesus nnd say:
"AH these are thine. Thou are worthy."
We go forth again for more trophies, and
Into one sheaf we gather nil thu scepters
of the earth, of nil royalties and domin
ions, nnd then we bring the sheaf of seep
tersand put It down at thu feet of Jesus
and say, "Thou art King of kings, and
these thou hast conquered."
And then we go forth again to gather
more trophies, and wu bid thu redeemed of
ullages, thu sons nnd daughters of the
Lord Almighty, to come. We ask them to
comu nnd offer their thanksgivings, and
the hosts of heaven bring crown nnd palm
and scepter, and here by these bleeding
feet, and by this riven side, and by this
wounded heart cry, "Mussing and honor
nnd glory nnd power he unto lilm that sit
teth upon the throne and unto the Lamb
forever and forever!" Tell inu of a tei.r
that ho did not weep, of a burden he did
not carry, of a battle that he did not light,
of a victory that hu did not achieve. "All
in all Is Jesus" In thu great plan of re

thero no herb growing by nil tho brooks to

wounded side, and thy wounded hand, ami
thy wounded feet, and thy wounded br nv.
wo aru sure thou knowest It all,
Oh, when those into whose bosom we

In tho old pioneer days of tho Green
