Tills OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , JULY 11 , 1881 ,
DEDICATED TO GOD ,
The New South Tenth Street
M. B , Church ,
Ceremonies in Conneotioh with
the Event ,
Able Address by Blshopt Hurst , of
DCS Molncs.
Ycstonlay morning the Methodist
church , which has just been completed
pleted- was formally dedicated and
Il-'shop Hurst , cf DCS Moiiics , deliv
ered the dedicatory discourse. There
was a very fine attendance and Rov.
John 13 , Mnxfield and Rov. A. F.
Shcrrill assisted at the services. The
altar was prettily decorated with
flowers.
Rov. John B. Maxfiold offered a
prayer for the recovery of the presi
dent , couched in very touching lan
guage.
Bishop Hurst took his test from
St. Matthew , 1 , xix-xx. "Again 1
say unto you , that if two of you shall
agree on earth touching anything that
they Bhiill ask , it shall bo done for
them , of my Father which is in Heav
en. For , where two or three are gath
ered together in My name , there am
I in the midst of them. "
The Bishop began : The verso to
which your attention is more particu
larly invited is the one "Where two
or thrco are gathered together in my
name , theio am I in the midatof
them. " Those are words that are
familiar to us. They were
Sl'OKEN 11Y CHRIST.
Not only with rofronce to the power
of prayer , but also wtth reference to
the blessing of prayer. They contain
the l-onsolatton of all pure and true
worship. They contain the secret of
success inall ] [ our approaches to God ,
for they declare His presence , they
declare the necessity of His presence ,
and also the great work of the. jieart
which claims His presence. Lot us
not forgot , however , the surroundings
of the ago- when Christ spoke these
words of cheer to His disciples. His
passion was drawing very near , the
dark shadow of His Buffering and His
departure from His disciples had al
ready come upon them. Ho foresaw
the particular difliculty .under which
this stricken circle would have to
labor.Vo know what it is in
our own social life even
IN THIS CENTURY ,
when the great light is gene out of
the house , when the familiar face , the
gcntlicst hand , the most ( sacrificin
spirit , the lips that speak the kindliest
words always , when such a one is ab
sent. What shall" take the place of
that vanished hand ? "What shall
take the place of that still voicoj
Tins was precisely the condition into
which this circle of disciples was soon
to bo placed. They wore to bo with
out their friend , their teacher , their
redeemer. Yet they must hare some
thing to
SEUVE AS A .SUBSTITUTE
They must have the memory of some
thing to recall his presence that should
cheer them on their long pilgrimage ,
and the sacrifices wliich t" y were
still to make. Now it is tlihr sonio-
thing which Jesus now supplies.
True , it is a remarkable statement.
Ho says ho is not'going to leave them ,
though they may look out for the face
and feel for the pressure of His hand ,
and could not see him with
TIIK PHYSICAL EYE
yet Ho will bo with them. Can you
imagine- more comforting word
that as the cross is in
sight and the Jewish and Roman tri
bunal is soon to condemn Him , as Ho
is soon to die upon the cross and to bo
placed in the sepulchre , and the great
atone to bo rolled before tho.door and
the keepers charged to guard carefully
Him that is placed withinthen as Ho
is to ascend later out of mortal sight ,
I say can you imagine a more comfort
ing word than that Jesua should say
before all this happens' , "Nevertheless
remember that I am still with you ,
wherever you may wander over the
earth. "
WHATEVER LAND
you may live in , whatever may bo
your surrounding ; "still "whorovpr
two or three are gathered together in
my name there am I in the midst of
thorn,1' not represented , not a memory ,
not an idea , not a vision , not a fancy ,
"There am I in the midst of them. "
You will observe that Christ saw hero
the natural tendency of the heart to
trust in the visible. That is our na
ture. AYe are very much4 inclined to
believe in what wo see and to bo akop
tical of what wo do not seo. Bomo
things we cnnno dpubt , because the
evidence is too strong ,
NO ONE DOUBTS
the existence of uuch a continent as
Europe , or the existence of such
man as Luther , but when the evidence
lias become ICSH striking , more in the
line of the spiritual world wo grow
sceptical. Thomas afto ? , Christ rose
from the dead , represented not so
much himself as the race to which ho
belonged , yhen ho was informed thai
Jesus had risen from the dead ho sail
ho would not believe until ho couli
sco the prints of the nails in His foot
and until ho could put his hand into
that wound in His side. That
is our condition , Wo ere too
SLOW TO BELIEVE
in the spiritual world because this gross
vision of ours is so narrow and so excessively
cessively short that the , spiritua
world , which is invisible , ia by far
the greatest world inyhich wo Uvo ,
Notwithstanding it is .invisible , it is
after nil the real world. Fpr after
this material universe shall pass
away , wo shall BOO , , wq shall know
that all the greateat affairs in the
world are not material , but these in
visible and epiritual affairs which lift
up the soul into likeness and liarmony
with our divineRedeemer. . ,
rill observe that the first
ihing that strikes the
COMMON FAITH OF MAN
is the smallncss of the number hero
stated in ono verso. "If two of you
shall ngrco on earth touching any
thing they ask. " Further along it is
somewhat magnified. "Whore two
or three are gathered together in My
name there am I in the midst of
them. " Thus wo have this strange
fact stated that a very small number
is capable nnd has the promise of re-
csiving the great presence of God.
Hero is something that comes homo to
our common thinking , our every day
life , It 13 not n pledge of
TIIK IllVlNr. rilKSENCE
to the multitude , but it is a pledge of
the Divine presence to these smaller
circles in which wo meet nnd which
nro common in our domestic , social
nnd sncrcd lifo , The thinking of men
is just the ether way. They measure
their successes by the magnitude of
their arithmetic. If in their calcula
tion they can muster n large force
they expect to succcced.
It was the philosophy of Napoleon's
military lifo that God was always on
the side of the gtcatcstbatallions , nnd
so ho arranged ns n rule to have n
larger force than his enemy. For ho
boltovcd that the star of his fnte would
shine favorably if ho had only a few
moro nion than the enemy against
him. That is the way wo calculate.
Wo measure our tasks in lifo accord
ing to the arms we have to overcome ,
the resistance it gives to us. If wo
wish to plough a piece of land wo cal
culate
TIIK KIND OF Fouor
that is necessary to overcome the re
sistance , to throw up the soil and make
it ready for the grain. If wo wish to
build a house of atone wo tnko pains
to go. to the quarry and apply n
certain quantity of explosive material
to disintegrate the stone so that it can
bo taken out and handled and put in
shape tor the edifice. It is nil a
question of how much force can over
come the resistance. If an obelisk is
presented to this country from Egypt
wo go to work and calculate the
amount of power necessary to take it
across the ocean , and the
AMOUNT or FOKCI :
to get it from the ship and thence to
Central Park. It is a question of
building material force to overcome
material resistance. So that it comes
into the habit of our lifo to calculate.
We sco n little child learning just
for the first time how to walk. The
toy is in its hand , it drops it on the
floor , when it stoops down nnd picks
it up , it requires n good deal of man
agement in stretching these tender
muscles to pick up that toy without
falling. It is ono of the first efforts
on the part of the child to use n scop-
tcr. It has just strength and wisdom
necessary to overcome the law ol
gravitation. These nro things wo sco
every day , our lifo is made up ol
them. Hence wo como to conclude
that numbers , force , tlw calculation
of muscular force are absolutely nee
essary for
SUCCESS IX HUMAN LIFE
Never was there a greater mistake.
Wo forget when wo are standing
around these battle fields of lifo thai
there is an invisablo one who has n
word to say and a share to take in the
great conflict. Fnbor says , "Thrice
blessed is ho to whom is given the in
stinct that can tell that God is on the
field whpji He i Hun&olf ; Jir/isiMo.
\Vo must remombcr that in every un
dertaking it is 'not'by'nftght nor by
> ewer , but by the spirit , by the spirii

SOME NEW LAW
'or overcoming and resisting the un
willing law of gravity. Wo are coming
; o the conclusion that everything wide
do is a matter of force and resistance
ffence , in this material age , some go
so far as to say God is not necessary.
Wo should not forget the triumphs o
iatur.il science , ' the progress man has
nado in finding out the secrets of na-
; ure , but , nevertheless , the spiritual
world is just ns real in His presence
as if no progress in the world of BCJ-
enco had been made. We find this
icre to be the fact that in all the spir
itual lifo of man , looking back in dis
tant times , God's presence has beci
alculatod upon , has boon built upoi
sy these who have understood Hin
most , and it has boon secured mos
idly. Wo find far back in
THE DISTANT TIME
a promise given that ono shall chas
a thousand and two shall put ton
thousand to flight. Wo find far back
in the distant time that bread cas
on the waters was returned afto
many days. That a little handful o
corn dropt from the hand on the to ]
if a mountain , grow and became ;
forest whoso fruit shako like the
: edars of Lebanon. Wo find that the
little Htono cast from the top of tin
mountain beeamo so largo 'when i
reached the valley , that it made th
valley higher than the "placo fron
which the stone started.
Wo road what St. Paul said tha
the very things that are not convenient
iont , that are base things , that nro do
spis'od , that are looked upon an noth

Ilinu The divinp presence is base
on the human worthiness , not on th
divine partiality ; So those who listo

the divine voice comes. Those \vh

surrounded himself with a coa

rill notice that sonic of the race to
horn the word came were inclined to
eliovo it. They said that is what wo

In the next place wo must observe
his , that the .ure.it place where God
ovcals Himself is hero in the midst
f his disciples. Observe the force of
lie locality in which this revelation is
lade. It ia a great assembly , with
tranches on cither side , but one con-
rAl pillow is the support of the whole
ystem. As the sun is the center of
ho planatory system , so in grace.
God is the center of the atlcction ana
oyclations that are inauo to His
hildron , The great aim of Scopti-
ism is to take Him so far nwny from
nen that they shall not rccognizo his
ntorforcnco in human affairs. They
jive us some such analogy as this :
w the clock is wound up by a turn of
ho hand it , is loft to pursiio its mis
ion until it'1 runs down. 80 the uni
crso , by some dense force , by the
peration of somcthSmr they call law
ins been originated has gone into
nission.
ITS OSCILLATIONS ,
IB revolutions , its cycles , after the
un is made and the time lapses and
ho forces are run out then the uni
erse will go down again into nothing
less. That is , the gospel of certain
ncn who call themselves leaders of
icienco. The only effect of such
caching is this , it takes God away
roili men , takes Him far away from
11 interference with men It is an
cfiort to say to one prayer has no
> owor. It is an attempt to drive God
out of the church , it is an attempt to
bTOl' THE ERECTION
of churches. It is an attempt to stoj :
irintinjr of Bibles. It is an attempt to
lestroy all missionary work in distant
' .ands. It is an attempt to drive GoJ
: rom the world. There is just one
difliculty about it. The same that
overtook the Spanish Armada that at
: emptcd to invade England. The
Armada never reached England , but
went down'.to the bottom of the sea.
There is the same difliculty to eliminate
nate God from his universe. It can
lot bo done. It is a little lee late.
They have been too slow about it
They are bound to see God in His
world. It is his dwelling place among
men.

TO THRUST GOD
from His children and spiritual af'
Fairs within the universe. Jesus has
lived bore. This is not the sain' '
world that it was at the time of the
prophets. Everything has been con
secratcd by the divine footsteps. Tli
very air we breathe has berne Hi
precious words from Itomo all ulon [
the holy highway of Judea , of Samfv
ria. Ho has spoken
I IN HC.MAN LAfJNUAon.
Wo don't care particularly what Ala-
lect ho spoke. Some say it was Armenian
monian , some Greek. Wo have noth
ing to do with that. It was a Ian
( 'uago that the poor widow understood
It wasi a language that those parent
when they como with their children i
their arms and the dcsciplo said
Mastci will not bo troubled. It wa
a language which these parotns under
stood when Jesus Christ said , "Suffe
little children to cento unto me , for a
such is the kingdom ot heaven. ' Tha
gospel would not bo a gospel withon
these words. They are there to bles :
and to comfort , to give the promis
of salvation to every child that close
its little eyes in death , for of such is
the kingdom of heaven.
In the third place lot mo ask you t
notice this special condition to clain
the divine presence. You must observe
servo it is not
A DIVINE EXI'RKSSION.
It is a declaration that God is
to bless without regard to human pur
chaso. The promise is that with a"
who meet in His name Ho is prescn
1 have said it ia a promise ; it is hard
ly that. Thcro is something beyond
a promise when a man is trudging hia
way across a desert , thirsty , with
parched lips , and ho is met by a trav
eler , and that traveler tells him at
yonder tree there fa a little fountain.
That is cheering. Ho
LIKES TO HEAR
the sound of-tho word. But after ho
has reached the sprinj , ' and slaked
his thirst there is the fullfilment.
It is a fulfillment. It has been already
carried out. In our human skepti
cism wo make too many angles to
roach the point , God works directly ,
infinitely moro directly. Had man
tliot arrangement for the conversion of
a soul I wonder what wo would now
do. Why ho would arrange that ho
nhould travel to some distant land.
What God requires is so simple that
children can understand when priests
and philosophers cannot. Many a
man in the simplicity and ignorance
of hia nature can take hold of tlicso
divine words when your learned

stac'gers and stumbles and goes
through life ignorant of the myster
ious divine word. So many commen
taries are like stained windows in a
church , they don't lot the light in
without giving the color of the glass.
There was a good Christian old
lady who told Dr. Dotheridgo that
she thought she understood the Bible
pretty well before she read the com-
mentary. but now mo did not under
stand it half as well.
The bishop concluded his discourse
with an elegant peroration.
