"OHAFF AND WHEAT. "
Ilov , G , AV , Crofts gives Some Sundfi ;
Thought * on This Hubjcct ,
At the Congregational church yoater
day , Rev. G. W. Crofts , the patter
preached the following excellent sermon
"Tho prophet that hath a dream , le
him toll a dream ; and ho that hath m ;
word , lot him speak my word faithfully
What Is the chaff to the wheat ? " Jero
rnlah , 23 , xxvlli.
The fitness of thcso words spoken b ;
the prophet COO years before Chriat , tc
the present day , thla latter part of the
nineteenth century , seems as great as 1
was to the age in which It was spoken
The main idea suggested by the tex
Is I think that of distinguish
Ing the unessential or unimportant from
that which is true and vital , and setting
an estimate upon things according tothoh
trno and actual value. If the language
of the text Is not to bo regarded as more
Irony , wo are to infer from It that Juon
are at liberty to glvo expression to thcii
own Ideas. Lot men Investigate ; lot then
conjecture. Lot them go out into the
various realms of thought and lot them
experiment and BOO what they can find.
As God has given minds and brains tc
men , and food upon which to exercise
them , lot them glvo thought to those
various subjects. Even as the mother
eagle would have bor eaglets spread their
wlnga upon the nlr , Ho would have us to
glvo rein to our thoughts.
I believe that Ged does not , and that
our religion does not put bonds upon
nan's mind , like the Chinese do upon
the feet of their children that they may
; row no more. A small foot may bo
loautlful in the oycs of the Chinese bat
i small mind is not beautiful. I do not
jollovo that God , oar heavenly father , is
offended at any of tfio otitreachlngs of
science , or at the apparent conflicts bo-
.woon . the thoorlzinga of the ncienists and
ho theologians. If their theories are
also they will In good time bo shown up.
tfo man In this world knows the truth
lalf so well as the man who knows the
also. Truth and humanity are over
advanced by the investlgotlon of man ,
ind therefore wo are not to hinder
horn In their investigations , nor In their
[ roams. But lot no man como forward
with his fancies , or conceits , or dreams ,
and assert their infallibility. Lot no
nan como out of bis study and say that
10 has discovered the truth , and that helene
lone it able to ravoal the great problem
if life unto the children of men that ho
las discovered the golden key to all
heso great secrets , and to all the won-
Jerful mysteries. Men may think hon-
atly and sincerely , and question these
houghts. Hut no man can question the
ruth for that is eternal. "Heaven and
srth shall pass away , but my word shall
lot pxsa away. " Christ said : "Sanctify
hem ( His dlaclploo ) through thy truth.
Dby word Is truth. "
To say "What Is the chaff to tbo
ffheati" is as much as to say tbat theories
ro all chaff as compared with word and
ovoaled wisdom of the Almighty. There
ro several ideas to ba derived from thla
oxt. First , the evidence of the prlmi-
Ivenoas of the Word of God , secondly ,
nr relation thereto as teachers and
romulgators of the word , and thirdly ,
ur discrimination in regard to what la
aluablo and what is valueless in the
ealms of thought. What book In the
rrholo realm of literature , and how vast
a that realm to-day , what book among
11 of them can equal and take the place
f the bible ? It la cot like other books ,
t is not a result of civilization , growth
nd mental culture , but the basis of all
regress. It Is not the fruit ,
ut the root of civilization.
Confucius , the Chinese sage , was slm-
ly a compiler a great student who
athored up tbo wisdom of the past
yhorover ho could find it , brought It out
nd put It together. That was his own
rank , honest confetslon. Ho ncknowl-
dgoa that ho was not the originator and
10 author of these thoughts. Bat the
ord of God waa not such a growth of
rocreas but the prompter of progress. I
o not say that the writings of others are
ot instructive , and beautiful , but that so
ar as being Inspired they are
s chaff'when we come to
umparo them with the divine
rord of God. Prince Mottornich , that
reat man , that mature mind , when ho
ame to the ago ot maturity , after read-
ng the bible at various ages , declares It
o bo an unconquerable book , eaylng , "In
word I believe , and dispute no longer. "
What is our relationship to this book
s teachers of this word 1 While wo be-
eve in the universal distribution of the
rord , it mast bo taught so that it will be
ndcrstood In its beauty and purity by
11 clasaes. In the first place the teacher
irasolf wants to appreciate that word ; wo
rant a vaat appreciation of the word of
3od. "Wo ran at realize that it la a greater
work than other in the realm of Ultra-
nro , and form an adequate conception
fits grandeur , greatness and truth. It
nnat bo apprehended that it must be a
liorongh understanding of and acqualn-
anoo with the word of God more than
nything elsa which men need to prepare
bom for this lifo , and the life which is
o come. Wo mast spo k this word
altbfally as toscbors. Wo must sot
orth its power and evident meaning ,
ut wo mutt shape our ideas by tbo rules
ifhich God hai revealed. Wo shall find
boso by the faithful preservation of the
word , of God. It is by this means that
men are to become truly converted.
Regarding tbo Word in its relationship
o other worka. What is the chaff to the
wheat ? Take It in the church for in-
tance. What Is the profession of religion
o the actual poaaoision of It ? What Is
irofesslng to baa follower ot Jesus Christ
o tbo honest and humble endeavor to
arry out these principles by a sweet ,
noble and selfsaorlficing life ? A man who
s a genuine Christian is a Christian all
ho time. A Christian at homo and
abroad , before man and befcro God ,
Take It In society. What is the pol- .
ah , the politeness of a Chesterfield , the
sehlonablo expression of greeting , ( o the
rue honesty of a sincere heart ? It Is no
more than a beautiful illusion and a
beat , If there bo no corresponding ac
ton. They are friends as long M our
money lasta , and then , when mdforiune
vortakea us , wo are deserted and loft
lone. What is such a friendship worth ?
In bualneis where n man's word Is
ileacant but inaiucero and dishonest ,
irhat is the chaff to the wheat ? The
talesman in whom a great and Irapor-
ant trait has been confided , how will ho
reat that trust ?
What Is it In any direction ? Let us
onalder well the question and so dls-
jrimloate and chooae , tbat at last we
ball * have gathered not a grinary
of worthless chaff tbat th
wind , the breath of otci
nlty will swoop away , that is only to boast
east Into the fire , but lot us so live
ao breathe , study , Book and aoarob
that when wo como nt last , though ovci
the best of us como with some chaff , i
shall not be all chaff , but shall bo Inter
mingled with aomo precious grains o
wheat tbat bavo been carried with us a
a result of our faithful study of the won
of God.
