THE NORFOLK VVMJKLY NtiWS-JOUUNAL DEOKAfHEIl 10 1909 - Ooo PEOPLE'S PULPIT. . . Sermon by / ; / Every Thing CHARLES T. Give Thanks ! RUSSELL , Paslor Brooklyn "In Every Tiling Give Thanks , For Tabernacle. Tliis Is the Will of God Concerning You In Christ Jesus" (1 ( Thcssalomans v , 18) ) . Sunday , November US.-Pastor HUH- well of "Brooklyn Tabernacle" preach ed today from the above text. lie said : There IH u bounty , and consistency in tliu Bible which many overlook , to their own confusion. Falling to "right ly divide the Word of Truth" ( II Tim othy II , 15) ) , falling to discriminate between the con HOC rated believer * and nominal believers of the world , which the Bible everywhere recognizes , has led to this confusion. To the loglcitlly-mlnd- cd ( him confused , the Bible Is an unrea sonable Book , IncoiiMlHtont with fnctH. The.se mutters are well Illustrated In our text , which WHH addressed , not to all mankind , nor to merely nominal Christians hut to Christians , "in God the Father and in the Lord .lo.sus Christ , " as { ho Introduction shows. This word ( n means something more than Is generally appreciated. Note the Savior's words. "If a man love me he will keep my words : and my Father will love him. and we will come unto him and make our abode with him. " " 1 am In m.v Father , and ye In me and I In you" ( John xlv. 'JO. 'JJli. The whole testimony of the Scriptures is that those who attain to this glorious OHO WI-M with the Father and with the Sou are In all but a "little Hoc ! ; " and amongst them are "not many great , not many wise , not many learned. " It Is to this class alone that the Scrip tures are addressed though to some extent Including a Jusitltled class sup posedly approaching this sanctified condition. These may well be Inform ed by the Apostle that they should "In everything give thanks. " when In full harmony with the Divine will. But note the confusion of attempting to apply these words to the world In general. What has the world to be thankful for-from Its own standpoint ? It knows not what God's future pur poses are , which , therefore , cannot en ter Into Its consideration. And with out that knowledge of coming blessings life Is often so little appreciated that self-destruct Ion is preferred. Undoubt edly the number of suicides would be far greater than It Is , were It not fern n certain fear or dread that the future might be more terrible than the present. The average man , heathen and civ ilized , knows that his coming into the world was without his consent. He oats and drinks and sleeps and labors , because these are necessities. He has headaches and heartaches , and every other kind. Altogether his experience Is "of few years and full of trouble. " Ills chief pleasure Is In hoping for and striving to attain pleasure. And when the "cup" of supposed happiness Is In his hand , the gall of bitterness Is found mingled with It. and Its dregs are Morrows. Can such a man be thank ful ? especially If he has been taught the doctrine of the "dark ages" re specting the future that when he shall die he will either be ushered into n Purgatory of centuries or tor ture Indescribable , or. worse still , that his lot will be to suffer endlessly un less he should be one of the saints , which , he well knows he Is not. and which we all know , as the Bible de clares , are but "few. " Surely to call upon such people for thankfulness to God would be an absurdity. And It Is to the credit of the Scriptures that they arc not thus absurd , and that our text Is addressed , not to those who constitute the masses , but to the "lit tle tloek" the saints. Groaning Creation's Hope. Before proceeding to apply our text to the class to which It Is addressed ( the saints ) , we pause to consider the hope of the world in general , as set forth in the Scriptures. The knowl edge of this hope Is not granted to the world , but to the saints that they might know , might appreciate , the gra cious purposes of lied toward mankind in general ; and that they might under stand also the Divine Intention respect ing their co-operation with Cod ! In the blessings he purposes to bring eventu ally to all the families of the earth. The explanation of the sorrows of the world Is given In the Bible : which tells us that sin lies at the door and that the mental , moral and physical blemishes which eause humanity such distress are incidental to the penalty pronounced against sin ; namely , death. "The soul that slnneth. It shall die. " Because Father Adam when on trial representatively for his race stoned and came under sin's penalty. "Dying thou shalt die , " therefore all his chil dren sharing In bis Imperfections are likewise Imperfect sinners , us St. Paul explains ( Romans v , 1i. ! ! Thus , dur ing sixty centuries , approximately twenty thousand millions of Adam's children have been "born In sin and Ebapcn In iniquity , " and have come Into the world condemned and dying , mentally , morally and physically. Divine sympathy exercised toward this race of sinners provided a Savior , "who for the Joy that was set before him" sacrificed his life for the world ( John III. ltt . "Jesus Christ by the grace of God tasted death for every man. " Then Instead of dealing with the world. Instead of saving the world , instead of setting up the promised Kingdom to bless the world , the Sav ior did something else. And this which he has been doing from the time of his death until now the Apostle tle oxplnlns tn n Is "M mvstery" ( I Corinthians xv , 81 ; Kpuestuns i , u ; Romans xl , 'J3 | . "The mystery of God" the world does not understand , because God prefers to keep the mut ter a mystery from them. But "the secret of the I ird Is with them Unit feur him and lie will shew them urn Covonunt" ( Psalm xxv , Hi. "Tliu mystery" Is , that ( S d purposed that the blessing of the \\oiid should be accomplished by our Sin lor alone , but in association with a select class of salntH gathered out of the world and specially taught and prepared hi the School of Christ during this age. Not only Is this feature of the Divine Plan Scrlpturally called "tho mystery of God. " which will he finished by the close of this ago. hut additionally the Church herself Is Serlptnrnlly termed "the mystery of God" the Mystic Body of Christ. "For God gave Christ to be the Head over the Church , which Is his Body. " "Ye are members In particular of the Body of Christ , " which Is the Church ( ICpheslans I , 'Jli , li ! ; ; I Corinthians xll , l7l. ! During those long centuries required for the finding of this saintly class for whom the Lord has been searching wltn the magnet of Truth , various false theories have sprung up and found acceptance In the world. One of these Is that God does not love the world and has never purposed Its sal vation ; but that , on the contrary , ho fore-ordained and predestinated that all except the "elect saints" should suf fer eternal torture , because he wished to have It so. Another wrong theory which gained acceptance was that whilst God wishes to save the world , he finds himself nimble to do so. be cause handicapped by human self-will and by the aggressiveness of Satan , who has blinded and deceived the vast majority and has them completely In his power through Ignorance and su perstition. This theory tells us that God loves the world. Including the heathen millions , and that ho longs to have the Gospel taken to them , but cannot do so , except through human agency , and Is disappointed and baf- tlcd , because those who profess to be his people fall to raise sutllclent mis sionary donations. To rational minds these theories which satisfied In the past are no longer satisfactory ; hence many are turned to infidelity. As the Scriptures say. "My people perish for lack of knowledge" ( Ilosea iv , Oi. The Hope of the Resurrection. Leaving these unsatisfactory errors of the "dark ages" and going buck to the Scriptures we find their teachings consistent ; namely , that as soon as the "mystery , " the Church. Is com pleted , the blessing of God will pro ceed through The Christ ( Head and members ) to the world. As It is writ ten , "In thy Seed shall all the fami lies of the earth be blessed. " The mystery , be It known , Is that the spir itual "Seed of Abraham" Is not the Lord Jesus only , but includes also his members the Church. As we read , "If ye be Christ's , then are ye Abra ham's Seed , and heirs according to the promise" ( Gnlatlaus 111 , 20) ) . According to the Scriptures the bless ing of God will proceed through Spir itual Israel , a "Royal Priesthood , " "after the order of Melehlzedec , " to natural Israel under the terms of their New Covenant ( Jeremiah xxxl. 31) ) . During the Millennial Age under the spiritual Kingdom of The Christ ( op erating through the earthly Kingdom of Israeli all nations will be instruct ed , enlightened , blessed. Not only so. but the merit of Christ will then be applied also on behalf of the thousands of millions who have gone down Into the prison-house of death shcol , hades the grave. The Church will consti tute the "First Resurrection. " "Ills resurrection. " All sharing In It will attain life on the spirit plane like unto the angels , but superior , "far above iingcls. " Later during the Millennium the world will return from the tomb , 'every man In his own order" (1 ( Corin thians xv. 23) ) . And the resurrecting : process will continue with them , to the Intent that the willing and obedient iiny continue to rise gradually to wards perfection and finally attain It ; vvjille at the same time the earth will be rejuvenated and become the prom ised "Paradise regained" restored ( Acts ill. 19-21) ) . "Give Thanks , For He Is Good. " Looking down into the future pro phetically the Psalmist exclaims. In view of the Kingdom blessings prom ised to the wortdt "O give thanks unto the Lord , for he is good ! for his mercy endureth forever ! " It Is the mercy of God toward us and toward nil who need bh mercy and who desire It that is the ground for thanksgiving. True , praise must come from thankful hearts , and in order to be properly thankful , one must see more than Is now visible to those who have not the eye of faith and the car of faith and the Divine revelation respecting things to come. But It Is these very opportunities that the Lord's consecrated ones possess : "Blessed are your eyes , for they see and your ears , for they hear. " Not only so , but to the extent that any one's eyes see and his ears hear of the grace of God he has responsibility. To possess the knowledge of God and to disdain It Is to receive the grace of I I'd ' In vain , whether more or less ( II Corinthians vl , D. God's people not only give thanks for the blessings of the future which they receive by faith , but additionally they appreciate blessings granted to them In advance In the present life and give thanks for these. The first of these Is the knowledge , the appre ciation , of the goodness of God In granting us a release from sin and Its penalty by faith , so that we can ( with out waiting tor uotuulltlesi now re joice In the tuerey which has Juntllled us freely by Divine grace through faith In the blood ot Christ. The tcull/.u- tlou of the rolling away of our load of MII. | a rcull/atlon of our forgiveness by the Father , calls lor gratitude , tor thanksgiving , and this cause continu ing , ( Mir thanks continue.e were lifted from the horrible pit and the miry clay of sin and condemnation and our feet were placed upon the Rock Christ Jesus. It was In consequence quence of this that a new song was put Into our mouth , even ( lie loving- kindness of our God , And thin Is the first cause for our thnnktulncss. All other blessings rest upon this blessing and all other thanksgivings should properly , therefore. Include thanks for this blessing. Additionally after being justified we were Inducted Into a still further grace or privilege , namely , the privilege of becoming members of the Body of Christ , members of the "mystery" class. The Invitation to this class the Apostle expresses thus. " 1 beseech you. brethren , by the mercies of Cod ( your justification ) that ye present your bodies n living sacrifice , holy , accept able unto God , which IH your reason able service" ( Romans xll , 1) ) . Through this grace or privilege , if accepted , we gain the opportunity of a change of nature from human to Divine. Our human nature justified , cleansed , made acceptable to God as a sacrifice through the merit of Christ , if sacri ficed by us faithfully , will be replaced by a spirit nature and glory , honor. Im mortality , jolnt-helrshlp. with our Lord and Head. What cause we have in this for thanksgiving ! What shall we render unto the Lord our God for all his benefits towards us ? "We will take the cup of salvation ( his cup , the cup of self-sacrifice ) and call upon the name of the Lord ( for assistance to drink of the Master's cupi. We will pay our vows of consecration unto the Lord publicly before all his people" ( Psalm c\vl. 12-Hi. "Every Joy lie sends mo Conies a sweet unit glad surprise. " The very fact that we do not know everything ; the fact that we are ever learning as pupils In the School of Christ , so far from being u cause of disappointment. Is a source of pleas ure. The heart that has come Into faith-union and commnulon with the Lord learns something more dally re specting the Heavenly Father's love and care , and each fresh Item of knowledge Is a new well-spring of pleasure. "He satistioth the longing soul. " "Blessed arc they that hunger and thirst after righteousness , for they shall be filled. " "Goodness and mercy follow mo all the days of my life. " These are the experiences of those ripe Christians called upon by the Apostle to give thanks unto God in every mat ter and to know that this Is God's will In respect to all those who are mem bers of Christ "In Christ Jesus" ( Psalm evil. 0 ; Matthew v , C ; Psalm xxlll , Gi. Thanks Through Tears. Let us not overlook the fact that our text Indicates that we are to give thanks for our sorrows , our trials , our disappointments , as well as for our joys and pleasures , for everything In cludes all things. Nor is this the only Scripture to this effect. Hearken to the Apostle's words which urge the members of Christ to rejoice in tribu lation , not because tribulation is n joy producer , but , as he explains , Tribu lation works out additional patience and patience brings additional experi ence and larger experience brings lar ger hope , until we are not ashamed of our tribulations , because of Increased love of God shed abroad In our hearts thereby ( Romans v , 3 ; vlll , 35) ) . The basis of nil these blessings and rejoicings both as respects the future and the present experiences is fultli. First , in the fact that there is a God. Second. In the fact that he has a noble character. Third , In the fact that bis Wisdom. Justice. Love and Power are perfect and thoroughly coordinated. Fourth , in the lact that all of those powers are enlisted in the salvation of the world. Fifth. In the fact that that salvation began to be worked out by our Lord at his First Advent. Sixth , in the fact that It Is still working out In the selection of his Church Sev enth , In the fact that shortly It will begin to take practical shape In the es tablishment of Christ's Millennial King dom. Eighth. In the fact that through that Kingdom a blessing shall extend to every creature of our race. So , then , let every man to the extent of his enlightenment appreciate and confess the Almighty God and give thanks unto his name , because he is good and because his mercy endureth forever. And let those who have tast ed of his grace pursue on. that they may grow in grace , grow in knowl edge , grow In faith and grow In char acter-likeness to our God. And let his taints addressed In this text more and more appreciate their wonderful privi lege , their high culling of ( Jed In Christ Jesus to be heirs of God and Jolut- helrs with Jesus Christ our Lord if so be that they suffer with him , that they may bo ulso glorified together. And knowing that they have need of fultli and patience and character develop ment , let these firmly trust the Great Teacher , come what may , and give thanks for every experience of life , knowing that our Father Is too wise to err and remembering the Muster's words. "The Father himself loveth you" ( John xvl , 27) ) . The Awakening. Two weeks after he bud faced the parson with the only girl In the world ho chanced upon Jones , one of bis old bachelor friends. "Well , old man , " remarked the lat ter , grinning. " 1 can't say you look the pnrt of a happy benedict. What's the trouble ? Ilnve you suffered n disap pointment ? " "I have. " answered the other grimly. "My wife can't slug ! " "Can't slngV" echoed Jones cheerily. "But In that case 1 should have said you were to be congratulnted. " "That's not the trouble. " responded the young husband. "The trouble is she thinks s > be can ! " SOCIETY Pleasures of the Week. The Degree of Honor hold n special meeting on Thursday afternoon for election of olllcorH.

Omaha , Dec. 3. The arguments In the case of Rome Miller , charged with violating the 8 o'clock closing law , will bo heard Saturday morning by Police Judge Crawford , before whom the case was tried Wednesday morn- Ing. A motion of John C. Wharton , representing Mr. Miller , that the de fendant bo discharged and the case dismissed , on the ground that there was no evidence to show that Rome Miller sold the beer alleged to have been bought by agents of the nntl- saloon league , that ho did not own or run the Rome hotel or the Rome vine yard , or that any of the people em ployed there were his servants , was overruled by Judge Crawford. There were four counts in the com plaint against Rome Mller , the dates on which alleged sales of Intoxicants were made being October G , 7 and 13 , and November 2 , on each occasion after the hour of 8 o'clock in the even ing. Attorney Wharton contended from the start that the state had failed to establish evidence directly connecting the accused with the com mission of a crime. In his opening statement Wharton objected to the trial of the case in police court and asked for a trial by Jury. He declared the law prohibiting the accused a trial by Jury was unconstitutional and re quested the court to defer its ruling and hear the evidence subject to the objection. Four witnesses testified on behalf of the anti-saloon league , Harry A. Stone , Fred Cavan , Frank Erdman and C. A. Holyoke , while the defend ant was the only witness sworn In his behalf. The plaintiffs bought and drank beer at the Rome. After list ening to the testimony , and refusing to consider the motion for dismissal , the court consented to adjourn the ar guments until Saturday , following the regular session of police court. The court did not Intimate a decision would bo made at that time. Mr. Miller said his Instructions to his bartenders were not to violate the law , but to close the bar and cease the sale of liquor before 8 o'clock at night , and not to begin again before 7 o'clock In the morning. Ho ponltively denied having any persons employed in the vineyard in his employ. PROVED HOG SERUM CURES. Nebraska Farmer's Experiment Saved His Drove. Stella , Neb. . Dec. 3.
