fi TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY JULY 17 1881 , GROWTH JN GRACE. * . * ' Subject oPDr , McGoph's Discourse - course Yesterday , The Learned President of Princeton College Spoalt * in ibo Fint Protbytorlnn Church- Notwithstanding the heat , the First Presbyterian church of this city was yesterday filled to its utmost capacity by a select audience , assembled to greet Dr. McCosli , the famous divine and president of Princeton college. His theme was "Growth in Grace , Il lustrated yi the Lifo of Nicodemus. " His text woa from John XIX , 89 : "And there came nlso Nicodomus , ( which nt the first came to Jesus by night ) nnd brought n mixture of myrrh nnd aloes , about n hundred pound weight. " Ilosaid , "Among other nnd higher excellencies by which the four ovan- goliats were characterized , every hu man mind is much interested to notice the variety of human character , good and evil , brought bcforo us. In tlio center or foreground of the paint ing. ( i painting it win bo called ) , winch is the simplest of all simple narratives ) stands Jesus , tlio brightest of the Father's glory , and the express imago of his power only scon in the ahadow ; working miracles , relieving distress nnd teaching his disciples , under the pressure all the while ot the mighty load of A WOULD'M SIN ' Around , wo BOO the apostles dis . tinguished by almost every possible diversity of character ; Bomo timid , others confident , each with a heart ungodly by nature but all , with one rod exception , coming under divine power , which is struggling with re maining corruption within them. Farther oil"wo got n ghinpso of other disciples shrinking from the view ; fur though convinced that Jesus has como from God they have not the courage to arm themselves to bo his followers. Hero nnd there Among the groups that hover around wo see enemies irritated by the faith fulness of the holy ono in tlio midst of them and plotting how they may bo rid of him. At this place you notice a company of hCOl'KINO RADDULT.na ; t that place a party of scowling Phar isees. Scattered among these wo find persons who had been relieved by grace of Him who wont about contin ually doing good , who had their burdens - dons of care removed or their diseases healed. This man fixing his eyes so eagerly on Jesus was lately blind ; this other listening so intently was lately deaf ; this other walking and leaping with such alacrity was , a short time ago , hopelessly lame ; nnd this other , so full of lifo and joy , was , but a few days ago , prostrated on n bud of aickiiCBs , or shut up in THE OLOOM OF THE SKI'ULCHUE. In the background of the scene we Lave the mass of the people vacillat ing between two opinions ; now strew ing his path with branches of trees and shouting Hosannah , nnd again with loud voice demanding his cruci fixion. Where else will you moot such a variety of character , reaching from spotless excellence on the ono hand and bloated lust and demoniacal inalico and fury on the other. Heaven and earth nnd hell , God nnd man and devils , the flesh nnd the spirit , human nature and divine grace , mot and wrestle nnd struggle like wo see the several properties of each , By this mixture of light nnd ahadow wo are interested nnd allowed to pursue the path before us ; and in doing so wo pick up most salutary in struction. I believe it may bo tmid that ho who has thoroughly studied THE GOai-EL HIHTOHY knows more of human nature in its deeper characters and moods , especial ly in its relation to God , the friend , and to God , the ( supposed ) fee , than i ono who has road all the histories that t wcro over written of all the people that have overlived. Wo moan at this time to single out 11 for special contemplation , a single per- BOA from the multitudes that pass bo fore us. That individual is Nicodo- inuB. Ho is presented to yiow in three different positions. In the pas sage immediately before us , ns en gaged with Joseph of Aromathoa , in. committing the body of Jesus to the vft. place of supultuio. But the evangel- ut in mentioning this circumstance , o much to his credit , refers to an other passage in the bible not so com mendable , "Then came Nioodomus , which at the first cauio to Jesus by night. " Oji turning back to chapter III , wo road of Nicodomus giving NODI.E TESTIMONY in different circumstances in behalf of justice and of Christ , but in that pas sage tlio same humbling clnuso is added , "ho that came to Jesus by night.1 Among other distinguish- in5 [ qualities , the scriptures are ever faithful in recording the infirmities nlso of those v , hose excellencies nro hold forth to cur admiration. Paul , in alluding to his success adds thnt ho wan once a per secutor , a blasphemer , nnd claims , "Not l.but the grace of God in mo. n In like manner when the faithfulness of Nicodomus is recorded it is added > that at first ho was so ashamed of Jesus thnt ho could not como to him except ut dead of night Wo are thus taught in reading the lives of the uaints to distinguish tlio ainfulncs of the men and 1 . TIE j'owEu FUOM AUOVE. "Not unto us , not nnto us , but unto thy name bo praise. " Let us consider Nicodomus under the three .aspects in which ho is presented. "NicodoimiH who , at the first ' ! , came to Jesus by Night. " This carries us back throe years in the his tory. Jesus at that time was just commencing his public ministry. ISto had como to Jerusalem for the first time since lip began to teach mid tote work miracles. His lifo had hitherto l ecn obscure till lately in Galilee , and now in Jerusalem , ho wrought signs and wonders , which proved that ho was a teacher come from God. But from his first appearance in Jerusa lem the prejudices of the priests and rulers were armed against him. * imU ing the temple , which was his Fath er's house , profaned by unseemly tnolrchahdiao ho proceeded to cleanse it by casting down the table * -and to- moving the money chnngors ns a typo of the work ho came to perform in preparing thft world , vhich ought to bo his templo. From this time for- wnrd Tllfc JEALOUS EYR3 of the hierarchy were fixed on him and narrowly watching his conduct. A wound had been inflicted , which continued to rankle in their breasts , Nor did this enmity ccaso till , three years after , it succeeded in bring him to the cross nnd to the grave. You can easily conceive how in these circumstances it must have required much courage on the part of ono pos sessed of rank nnd authority to nvow himself to bo n follower of Jesus. "Not many mighty , not many noble , are called. Yet God has had in every ago witnesses for the truth from among the higher ns well ns THE LOWKH OIIADES OP SOCIETY , It was on this very turn that Nico- domus first came to Jesus. Nicodo- mus was a member of the Jewish San hedrim , the supreme council of the nation , in short was ono of the judges and nonators of the land. Ho belong ed to the sect of the Pharisees , the most popular nnd influential of all the parties into which the Jews were nt that time divided , nnd the ono which felt its self righteousspiritmost deeply wounded and its power shaken by the lifo nnd doctrines of Jesus. Wo can understand how great must have boon the struggle before ho could como to receive instruction from the now teacher of Nazareth , the lowly Jesus , the son of Mary nnd Joseph , the carpenter , On the ono hand prejudice must have led him to doubt whether ono with so lowly nn appearance could bo the Messiah mentioned in such glow ing Innguago by the prophets and ex pected by the people to bo A TEMrOHAf , I'lUNCE , who wns to sit on the throne of David nnd establish a moro extensive do minion than the Jewish ono had been in the time of its greatest prosperity. On the other hand reason told him that no man could do thoio miracles which Jesus did except God went with him. Pride must hnvo suggested thnt , by avowing himself a follower of Jesus , ho would bolowered in the esteem of the circle in which he moved. Ho felt as if ho needed n teacher nnd n savior , and yet ho was ashamed of ono who came in so lowly a form. For n time there must have been n struggle in his breast like that between OHAOH AND OUDIHI at creation , when the spirit moved on the face of the waters , like that which we have seen between the light and thick masses of cloud at the dawn of the dny , and no one but ho who douth all things can toll winch is to gain the mastery. When at length the Rood overcame the evil , no doubt through the leading of the spirit of Jesus , it was accom panied by an unworthy compromise of principle. Ho resolved to go to Jesus , but ho had not the courage to do BO openly in the light of day. Ho was afraid thnt if ho wns seen in the company of the now teacher from Galileo ho would lose THE FAVOF.AULE OPINION of these of his own station ; and every ono acquainted with human nature knows that most men would rather lose favor of those beneath them in rank , or even of these nbovo thorn , rather than of persons of their * own circle , with whom they nro in the habit of daily associating. Wo ought all to bo ashamed of our foolish deeds but hero is ono ashamed of the wisest resolution ho had ever formed. If ho had boon about to visit an earthly prince ho would have chosen the light of day , but So much are men dazzled by the splendor of worldly station , nnd BO little do they esteem spiritual excel lence'that ho could como to him who was born King of the Jews only under clouds of concealment. If the heralds had announced that Tiberius , the Ilo- man emperor , had arrived in Jerusa lorn , HO can conceive that Nicodomus would have selected the most public day nnd the most public street to wait upon him , in the midst of BUflTLINO UllOWDS ; but now , when lie who is the Prince of Poaco. foretold by nrophats for thousands of yoa'rs , his birth cele brated by nngols and his power at tested by miracles , and ho himself the king of kings nnd lord of lords , came to Jerusalem lie could not como to him except in n way which showed that lie was ashamed of being BOOH ii 11 his presence But it is well when wo como t < Jesus nt nil. Wo will bo received i wo have but faith as n mustard seed Virtue will como out of him to maki us whole if wo but touch the hem o his 1 garment. If Nicodnmus had conu to i nn earthly prince at this unsoasona bio ' hour ho would have boon scornful ly 1 rejected , but ho came to the Princi of Ponce and ho received it welcome Ho did not discourage him by * a single - glo WOUII OK KEl'KOACII or look of disapprobation. The great ust of teachers proceeded to insttncl him in the grand doctrine of the necessity cossity of being born again liy th Spirit of God While the great prop ) , ot of the church taught him by hi. word ho also-taught him by hU spirit. Ho came with a veil ever his heart so * that ho could not discern 01 ho hoard them , the moanin of Moses and the prophets ; h wont away with the veil removed nn id with his mind enlightened. Ho cam with his soul dark as the night whic' 10h enveloped him , but ho came to the so in of rightooushess , to Him who is tli 10 light of the world and , ho retired uii - der the light of the morning , whici h nhinoth more and moro unto the per - feet day. r3d Upwards of two years have elapsoi without our hearing of the Jowis sh ruler. Wo do not read how ho j > assou this time , or whether , during it , ho had any personal communication with THE GltBAT TKAUIIKH who had instructed him in the doc trine of regeneration. Nicodomus , after the feast , have may gone to some other field of labor , Wo know that Jesus , shortly after this interview , ate tired to Galliloo , the usual place of His [ abode , or rather of Jus wanderings , [ and their so future not meetings may have been very frequent. But when Jesus CULQO up , as bo did , to lie great religious festivals of the Jews , wo can concoiyothnt Nicodomus would wait on. his ministry and might seek 'ir opportunities of meeting wiih him. This is certain ; that i ho would often MRKT WlTlt 001 * In spiritual communion nnd the teach er who had como from God , and who had taught him the spiritual nature of Christ's kingdom , would help him in his devotion. Passing over this patt of his lifo wo find him next presented to our view in his place in the Jewish Sanhedrim. Jesus had como to Jerusalem nt the toast ot tabernacles nnd his prcsonco had been hailed by the mulli- ludo who crowded nroiind him eagerly listening to the words of grnco and salvation which flowed from his lips. A number of the poonlo boci lio"od on him nnd avowed their conn viclionB. The people were keenly inti ( crested , nnd their feelings wcro too loudly expressed not to como to the ears of the Pharisees and priests , who felt as if their dominion was tottering beneath them. STUNO HY MALICE nnd jealousy , a hurried meeting of the great council of the nation was called to determine what should bo done in the extraordinary circumo Btanccs in which they were placed , It was resolved to send ofliccrs to npn prohond Jesus nnd drag him before before their tribunnl. When the olliit cors drew near to Jesus they found him in the midst of the people , inviting thorn in the most ' encouraging manner to' partake of the mercy brought nigh to them. "If any man that thirst lot him como to mo and drink. " Bcforo securing their intended prisoner the officers were inb duccd to listen , nnd ns they did so they found themselves interested in the discourse. Their attention became moro nnd moro rivited , they caught the fooling of admiration whinh HKAVIII ) IN KVKHV HKAUT. They hesitated nnd delayed carrying their design into execution , and when Jesus finished his discourse they wcro so nwcd that they became completely powerless , they allowed him to pass away undisturbed , nnd , at the risk of being terribly punished , they returned to these who had sent them out , with this signal testimony , "Never man spoke like this man. " The council sat in stern and sullen impar tienco waiting the return of their servants , nnd on hearing this unoxtl poctod answer their passion could bo restrained within no bound. Here were their own dependents failing them nt thin ordeal moment. "Aro yo also deceived ? Hnvo any of the Pharisees believed on him , but this people who know not the law nro cursod. " It is ns if they had said , "This is a popular delusion ; only i the lowest and most ignorant of the | people have been Eur.ivii : > IIY iint ; none of the learned hnvo thought for ono moment of espousing his cause. Can you point to n single Pharisee , a single i tiler , who regards him with a friendly oyo. No , it is impossible , and cursed must the people bo who are thus liable to bo deluded. " It is n trying time to Nicodomus ns ho sat there in the Council , n time fitted to search him nnd to show to himself ivnd others the innermost springs nnd motives of his naturo. Ho sees the passions of brother councilors exasperated to tlio utmost. Not n voice in the assembly is lifted in bchnlf of justice. Does Nicodomus seek at thm time to con ceal his faith in Jesus ns ho hnd done on n formor'occasion ? .No though Le should stand alone LIKE A IIIIEAKWATEU in the middle of the waves ho fools himself called on to speak out even though ho should thus bring down up on him the ire of all his associates. Ho saw that the council wns about to proceed to violent measures nnd in language which showed how calm he was in the midst of the tempest ho put the simple question , "Doth our law judge any man before ithcars him nnd knows what lie doeth ? " In the conduct of Nicodomus on this occasion wo discern courage nnd faithfulness of the highest order. It was a testing time and Nicodomus stood it. HJ paid enough nnd ho said no more. It is evident that during the two years that hnvo elapsed since first wo mot with with him , he has niado decided progress in THE CJIUIHTIAN LIKE. Ho who , nt the first , could como to Jesus only by night , now stands by him in the open day , and in the fnco of the most formidable opposition , bo- forowhich the courage of the strong est might have quailed. "Add to your faith virtue , ' , the old Roman courage , n noble quality when used in defense of n good cause. Christ Jias n kingdom nnd a causa in the world , in which there is evil opposing the good. good.Again Again the curtain drops and months elapse before wo hear any moro of the Jewish councilor. During this time ho may hnvo Buffered not a little per secution , owing to the suspicions raised against him by the part ho had taken. But his faith was now strong , nnd ho could bear the trial , nnd may have been strengthened by it. The wind that might blow away the feeble spark may only kindle TUB KTUONOEII VIHE into a ilamo. Everything now indi cated that tlio eaithly course of the prophet who had appeared was draw ing to a close , lip luiil fulfilled the time , appointed in the councils of heaven and his work was about to bo finished. The council of the nation , headed by the hmh priest , condemns him. Pontius Pilate , the liontnn governor , when appealed to refers the case to the poonlu , who demand his crucifixion. hvury voice is raised against him , nnd they continue to nseail him in his dying ago nies , when the vilest malefactors have often had sympathy expressed in their favor. The circumstances are all more trying than these in which Nicodemus had formerly boon placed in the Sanhodrin. At that time if ho was opposed by the rulers of the land ho had at least the people to support him. Now , ho stood almost alone. The very disciples hnd Hod in his hour of trial nnd only ono had the courage > to come TO THE FOOT OK THE CUOSS. A few pious women , scarcely ob served by the multitude , remain to do the gentle offices of the dead. How ' is Nicodomus now to act ) Docs ho , as at first , conceal his faith , or does ha content himself , as in the second instance , in uttering a protest on behalf - half of innocence and against injus tice ? ! No. ho is now ready to bravo every peril. A friend , Joseph of Ar- itnathea , begs the lifeless body of Jesus sus , nnd Nicodemus joins him in pre paring it for the sopulchor. Far above the fear , far nbovo the applause of men these two join in their becoming offices. It would bo difficult to find in history n bravery superior ' to that of Nicodemus. There may ! bo n nobler courage , than oven thnt j of the warrior in the battle or the sailor in the storm. When Luthnr , defended ' himself bcforo the great em peror " of his ago , nnd council of princes ; nnd prelates AS OLD OENF.P.AI , greeted him , grasp him by the hand , nnd sn'd , "I have fought in the thick est battles of my time , but I hnvo noyer , after all , shown a valor equal ti yours. " Tlio courage of Nicodemus was n higher order than that which forces and fights with danger ; it was so ardent that it did not nee the danger , and was in fact Utterly unconscious of it. So , Christian brethren , bo not con tented with past attainments. Be sides this , with all dilligonco , add to your faith \irtuo , and to virtue knowl edge < , and to knowledge temperance nnd patience , nnd to patience godli ness , and to godliness brotherly kind ness , nnd to brotherly kindness char ity , for if these things bo given you and abound , they make that yo shall neither bo barren nor unlawful in the knowledge : of our Lord Jesus Christ. " Tlio true Christian docs not nllow himself to think that ho has attained , or that lie is ALUEAPY PEnFECT , but forgetting the things that nro be hind , ho prcssoth forward to these that are boforo. Ho may not bo per fect but ho is seeking to bo perfect. Like n good soldier of Christ , ho will not ccaso from the contest till ho has conquered ( these sins which are Christ's enemies and are his own ene mies. Wo nro to continue the contest until wo have slain the last of pur spiritual enemies. If it h objected that this must bo till death the I say that oven until death we must continue faithful. The Chris tian dies in armor , na wo hnvo heard of the warrior dying in the battle nt the moment when his troops were raising ; the shout of victory. The last sound which ho hears on earth is tlio clang of arms in his final contest with sin ; even ns the first sound which ho hears in heaven is the song of triumph , "Blessing and honor nnd glory and power bo unto him that sitteth on the throne and the lamb that was slain.
