Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the lllghteou8."-l John 2:1.
Impressively tho Pastor reminded us
that humanity Is so constituted as to
have a longing for things Infinite a
desire for a God and for superhuman
care and guidance, especially In life's
dlilicultles. He declared that, phreuo
logically, veneration and spirituality
are located In tho crown of tho head,
ns though Indicating that they, proper
ly, should domlnato tho entire being.
Notwithstanding the fall, which
brought to our race Impairment of
mind, as well as body, and unbalance
of natural qualities, with the majority
these high functions nono tho less per
sist. Man still worships, reverences,
adores, however much his Impaired
Judgment at times misleads him into
worshiping unworthily a sculptured
stone, an Image, an idol, a creed, a
husband, a wife and children. Under
the guidance of tho Divine Word,
Christians realize that the ono great
object of worship is Jehovah God.
through Ilia Son, our Lord Jesus Christ
The Pastor asserted, backed by the
Scriptural statement, that Satan, man's
great foe, God's great enemy, not yet
bound, has in various ways attempted
to mislead us. to separate us from
God juid from tho Bible, and propor
tionately to darken our understandings
with hmnan traditions, creeds, super
stitions. In tho light of our wonderful
day. however, human Intelligence is re
belling. God's tlmo has come for the
binding of Satan and the liberation of
his prisoners. God Is answering the
prayers of Ills faithful people.
Her We Meet a Danger.
The moment we begin to exerciso our
reasoning faculties, the Adversary
seems to redouble his energies to hold
us back from the Truth. As St Pnul
pointed out. he Is an adept at putting
darkness for light nd light for dark
ness. And when his dupes begin to
think und Inquire, his method seems to
be to pose ns a reformer, that he may
mislead, carrying us past tho truth
4nto human wlsilom, theories, specula
tion, or into occult systems. Thus
many today, the Pastor declared, have
Btepped out of Ignorance and supersti
tion, merely to bo entrapped by other
superstitions, or by Agnosticism, Evo
lution, Higher Criticism, lie urged ills
hearers to be on guard ami hold fast tho
"Word, which Is able to make us wise
unto salvation.- '1 Timothy :I:1j.
The trend of modern 1 bought Is away
from the I'.ible. away from the thought
of personal sin, personal condemna
tion, a personal Itedeemer and a per
sonal salvation. The tendency Is to
think of and discuss civic righteous
ness, outward moralities, political progress-In
general, a social salvation, to
bo accomplished by moral and Intellect
ual forces. The Pastor would not be
' understood as opposing any humanita
rian work. Ho declared that even un
wise efforts sometimes provo beneficial
to their movers, though failures In
themselves, on the principle that no
man can attempt n good work for an
other who will not himself lie blessed
liy his own efforts.
A Personal God and Savior.
Higher Criticism, through the col
leges, not only has undermined the
Word of God, but in many instances
has destroyed faith in a personal Crea
tor. and lias abolished the thought of
the soul's need of a personal Savior.
In the Biblical sense. Hence today
many will pose as Christians and do
clare their faith in an impersonal God
a "nature" god whatever that may be.
Similarly, the highest concept of these
respecting Jesus is that He was t
great Teacher, with un uplifting. cIt
illzlng message.
! All this Is quite unblbllcal, unsatls
factory to tho hungry soul-chaff. We
need to get back to tho Blblo. We need
its declaration of a God of Wisdom
Justice, Lore and Power infinite:
God of sympathy, who has taken notice
of hnman woe, sorrow, pain. sin. death
nnd who has "heard the groaning of
the prisoners" Adam and his children
W need the Bible presentation of
the fuct that God can have no sympn
thy with sin. and can have no dealings
with sinners in the way of recognizing
them. We need to Bee the Justice of

But even to gel the proper concep
tion of God's Justice, by seeing that
Ihe d'Uth peu;iUv. I not a torture

pient We need to see something of
the Love of God. said the Pastor, "in
this was manifest the love of God
toward us, because that God sent Ills
Only Begotten Son into the world, that
we might live through lllm." Thus we
lee Jesus at His L'irst Advent begin
ning the fulfilling of God's Promise for
the blessing of- humanity. We note
His obedience, self-sacrifice, loyalty
to the rather, faithfulness unto death,
"even the death of tho cross." We
behold His exaltation by the Father
His ascension up to w here He was be
foreat the right hand of God. And
jwe note that He has now still higher
, glories than He had before He came
(Into the world-tho Father's reward
for His loyal obedience; as St Paul ex
plains, "Wherefore God also hath high
ly exalted IIlm."-Phillpplans 2:0.
j From Jesus' Hps we hear tho Mes
sage of the Kingdom that God in
tends that ultimately Messiah shall be
come tho great King of earth, author
ized to lift up mankind from sin and
degradation, and to restore all the will
ing and obedient to human perfection
in a world-wide Kden. Then comes
the Gospel invitation to all believers
In Jesus. The invitation is to become
Joint-heirs in that Kingdom which is to
bless the world.
"He That Cometh Unto God."
1 am convinced that many hearts are
longing for God, or, us the Psalmist
expresses it, "My heart and my flesh
crleth out for the living God." It is
one thing to know about God, about
Jesus, the Divine Plan of the Ages,
tho selection of tho Church to be the
Messianic Kingdom class, and the Mil
lennium, in which The Christ, Head
and Body, will bless and uplift man
kind; but it is quite another matter to
know how to come to God, how to get
Into this Church class. The general
thought Is, I will go to some church
I will see God there. But alas! God
is not to bo found in every church.
Nay, we cannot even say that every
professed minister of Christ Is able to
point the longing Inquirer the true way
to fellowship and harmony with Je
hovah. Alas, loo often it Is tho case that min
isters have no knowledge of this way
have never come to God themselves!
Alas, too many will be found full of
forms and ceremonies, and some full of
hypocrisies, and some full of supersti
tion! It is no wonder, therefore, that
many have gone to church with a hun
ger for God, nud a desire to be taken
Into Ills family, who have returned to
their homes discouraged, and doubtful
as respects all religion.
In some instances, they will try an
other church of another denomination
possibly finding themselves merely
entertained by n talented choir, singing
words not understood, or hearing an
eloquent dissertation ou politics, sci
ence or evolution. Often such conclude
that their soul hunger for God and
Truth and knowledge was abnormal,
that they had better not mention the
matter for fear of being thought fa
natical. Others In turn explain that
they have sought ministers nnd asked
tho way to God. and had been merely
Joked with and turned aside from fur
ther serious thought.
The Pastor declared himself not re
sponsible for any one but himself, yet
he realized that this meant a greater
responsibility than that of any minis
ter In the world because through his
published sermons he comes in contact
weekly with about twelve millions of
Intelligent, thinking people. Tills was
bis reason for the topic of today. lie
was anxious to lend a helping hand.
orally or by his pen, to all within his
reach. And he invited correspondence
from such.
"The Way, the Truth, the Life."
1 must tell you plainly, said the Pas
tor. that Jehovah God is a great King
above all kings, as the Bible declares
You well know that, even If granted
an audience with an earthly king, It I
would be after some one bad Intro
duced you as worthy and after you
had made preparation In the way of a
special outfit of clothing whose cut and
quality would be determined for you.
Should we expect to rush wildly into
the presence of the great Ruler of the
Universe, even If we were perfect.
even if we were In covenant relation
ship with 11 lin ?
If tho holy angels may appropriate
ly veil their faces in tho Divine Pres
ence, crying, Holy, holy, holy, should
mortals rush in where angels fear to
treadT Further, we are imperfect, sin
ful still worse, we are under a Dlvln
sentence, or curse, which declares that
we aro unworthy of God's favor, fel
lowshlp or blessing, and are cut off
therefrom. How shall we overcome
such barriers?
At first it would seem to be a hope
less case. But the King or kings is
very gracious, and has sent a Message
declaring His sympathy. He has point
ed us to the Lamb of God and His
sacrifice for our sins, and has declar
ed to ub Ills willingness to receive ns
throueh this Ono. He will be the
Mediator between God and the world
of mankind in due time, during the
thousand year period of His Messianic
Relgn.-l Timothy 2;4C.
We might wait and have the benefit
of that general dealing In which the
Mediator win cancel all the claims ol
Justlco against the race and deal with
all mankind according to their condi
tions of weakness or strength of char
actor. But we waut to npproaeh now.
nd especially since we have heard
that God Is willing, and that the spe
clal call Is for a special class, tif Be
come the P.ride. joint Peirs with the Re
deemer. God's Message to us is that there is
no approach to Him except through the
Redeemer To the Redeemer we go,
to Jesus. Savior, we adore Thee. We
desire to come back into fellowship
with our God, our Creator. We desire
that He will again recognize us as His
children and again enter Into covenant
relationship with us, promising us life
everlasting, full harmony with Him.
And we have heard from the Father
that the only opportunity we have Is
through Thee, the Redeemer. Tell us
what we shall do how we shall pro
ceed! The Master's answer Is, "I am
the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no
man conieth unto the Father but by
Me!" Yea, Lord, so we believe; so we
accept. But how shall we coino by
Thee?-John H:(i.
Tho way Is a way of faith. It Is
made especially narrow at the present
time, because the Father seeketh now
only such as have special faith In Mm.
In the coming Age the darkness will
bo scattered, the true Light will shine.
All the blind eyes will see out of ob
scurity. Then proportionately less faith
will be necessary. But now tho way Is
obscure, and correspondingly the re
ward Is great
You already believe that God is, else
you would not desire to come near to
Him! You already believe that God
purposes to reward those who diligent
ly Beek Mm, else you would not be In
quiring the way back to Ms favor.
You are in the way now the way of
righteousness. If you were able to ren
der perfect obedience to God, nothing
less would be acceptable to Him. But
knowing that you are in a fallen and
imperfect condition through heredity,
the Father has provided through My
sacrifice a covering for your blemishes,
so that notwithstanding your unwill
ing weaknesses, you may be accepted
of Mm through Me
Wo answer, But believing this does
not still bring us Into relationship with
God. What shall we do? We will be
glad to do all in our power. And we
are glad to believe that our Imperfec
tions are to be made good through Thy
sacrifice. But with all these pro
visions, how shall we proceed to get
into communication with the Father?
Show us, dear Redeemer, the way back
to tho Father and to the everlasting
life which Is Ills gift; for we have
heard that while "The wages of sin is
death, the gift of God Is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." Ro
mans C:23.
The Master answers, The thing nec
essary for you Is that I should intro
duce you to the Father and become
your Surety, making Imputation to you
of the merit of My sacrifice. If I shnl!
do this, you will be accepted by the
Father and be begotten of the Holy
Spirit, and thus become children of
God, heirs of God. Joint-heirs with My
Bolf In the Millennial Kingdom
Then the question comes up. On
what terms will I be your Advocate
with the Father? My answer is that,
by the Father's arrangement. I may
act as Advocate only for those who
become followers of My example. If.
therefore, you desire Me to be your Ad
vocate and to bring you into relation
ship with the Father and to make yon
My Joint-heirs, the terms nre thosa
which I have already expressed: If any
man will be My disciple, lot htm deny
himself, and take up his cross, and fol
low Me. Matthew 10:24.
Reconciliation, Peace, Joy, Life. 11
The question of coming Into God's
family at "the present time is ono of
becoming disciples of Jesus, follower
In Ills steps In the narrow way, en
during the opposition of the world, the
flesh and the Adversary, and thus
demonstrating our loyalty to God, to
His Truth, to Ills people, and sympa
thetic love for the entire groaning cre
ation. If the steps, once seen, be not
taken. It will be because, having count
ed the cost the believer has been un
willing to pay such a price for fellow
ship with the Father nnd with the Son.
In such case he could expect no fur
ther progress. The Inquirer would
have gone as far as possible without
entering by tho strait gate into the
narrow way.
We are not intimating that he would
suffer special punishment for falling
to accept Divine favor and privilege.
He would merely be losing the things
which ho had the privilege of gaining,
after he had seen them afar off and
had been convinced respecting them.
To gain the great reward of the Lord's
favor means the entering of the
strait gate and the walking in the nar
row way. Matthew 7:14.
To those who accept tho terms, the
crosses, the trials, the difficulties of
tho way will be more or less apparent
at the beginning, and will continue to
tho end of the Journey. So far as the
things seen are concerned, none are
profited by accepting dlsclpleshlp with
the Savior. Their profits, their re
wards, their blessings, are things un
seen to tho nntural eye. For them is
reserved, if faithful, tho blessings of
the future, suggested by the Apostle,
saying, "Eye hath not seen, ear hath
not heard; neither have entered into
the heart of man the things which God
hath in reservation for them that love
Him" supremely. 1 Corinthians 2.9.
And not only do these consecrated
people of God become heirs of God and
Jolnt-hclrs with Jesus Christ to that fu
ture inheritance and that blossod work
of the Seed of Abraham in blessing all
the families of the earth, but they have
Joys, blessings and peace tn the pres
ent time, which the world can neither
give nor take away.
Happy people! And in addition to
all this, they ore privileged to be am
bassadors for God to make known the
Divine character nnd plan to others
Moreover, they are privileged even to
suffer for their faithfulness, nnd In so
doing, they nre assured that they are
adding to their glories of the future.

Men Who Are Gathering Will Bivouac
on the Same Grounds Where Once
They Shed the Blood of One An
other One Flag Emblem of All.
Gettysburg, Pa., June 23. The hills
of 'Gettysburg, where the armies of
Meade and Ixe pitched their tents
fifty years ago, are flocked with can
vas harbingers of the tented city
which will soon arise on the battle
field. The army of civil war veterans
from the north and the south 40,000
of them rre coming, some few in
thread-worn uniforms and all without
their muskets, to hold a Jubilee re
union on the fiftieth anniversary of
the battle. Some of the scouts are
already here: the advance guard will
bivouac on the field wlthtn a week;
the rank and file will follow them not
more than forty-eight hours later.
Every star of theVorty-elght in the
American flag is ejected to have
here Us own quota of veterans. They
will come as the guests of the national
government, and of their respective
Mate and territories, which Jointly
will spend more than a million dollars
for their entertainment and comfort.
To receive them the government and
the state of Pennsylvania have made
elaborate plans. One detail atone pro
vides for furnishing the veterans more
than 800,000 meals.
Pennsylvania has appropriated $415,
000 as its share of the expanse. Con
gress hRs appropriated $150,000 to de
fray the expense of the government's
participation, and named a commis
sion o help carry out the plans. Every
state and territory also accepted the
general invitation to participate and
nearly all of them appropriated mon
ey to transport veterans and commis
sions. Great Camp Ready.
The nig camp fs pitched on that
part of the battlefield which lies
southwest of Gettysburg. On nearly
300 acres of contiguous ground 7,0i;0
tents and more are going up under the
supervision of the war department.
The camp lies partly on the scene of
the first day'r fighting and Is not far
from High Water Mark, where Pick
ett's famou charge shattered against
the union lines.
Five thousand tents hare been
erected fcr the exclusive use of the
veterans. The camp has been laid out
like a city. Each street and each tenr
has a number, so it will' be easy for
any veteran to look up a former com
rade or foe. In the center of the camp
will be the headquarters of the chief
quartermaster. The veterans will be
encamped according to states.
The principal events of the cerebra
tion wll' be bold on July 1, 2, 2" and 4,
but In on'er to avoid congestion of
traffic on the railroads and confusion
at Gettysburg, the camp will be opened
on Sunday evening. June 29, the first
meal to be served at supper tlm
Twenty meals will be served to each
veteran during the week if he is in
camp that long and the camp will
come to an end after breakfast on
Sunday, June fi.
