THE GOOD SAMARITAN.
A SERMON
Delivered toy the Rev. II. O. Ttattersott,
D.I)., at St. Clement's Church, Philadel
phia, on Bnuday Kventng, April 23, 1871.
' When BedcparUil He took out twopence
.and gave thtm to Ihe h it, and laid unto him,
lake care of him; and whateoever thou
tpendest more, when 1 come again IicUl repay
thee.'" Luke x, 35.
The mystical interpretation of the parable
of the Good Samaritan is, I doubt not, known
to most of yon; yet it may be useful to state
it briefly, while I take ocoasion from it to say a
few words on the subject itsuggests the min
istration of the Word and sacraments of
Christ as a remedy against sin.
The Good Samaritan is a representative of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Th traveller is man
himself, who early left his home, Jerusalem,
the Holy City, the paradisal vision of peace,
and went down to Jericho, the cily of the
world. When once the gates of Eden were
closed upon him, his course was ever and con
tinually downward. His way lay through a
vast and ever-widening moral wilderness, in
which he fell among thieves, the evil crew
of Satan, a robber and a murderer
from the beginning. They stripped him of
his raiment the deceat clothing of his origi
nal righteousness they covered him with the
wounds and bruises of sin, nor left him until
(half -dead as he was in his trespasses) they
thought his destruction and death were cer
tain. In this condition, man could do nothing
for his own reoovery. His case, as to any
help in himself, was desperate; but with God
all things are possible. In Ilia good time a
means of recovery was provided. The dis
pensation of the law, the exhortations of the
prophets, did not reach the case. The law
was weak; its priest passed by on the other
Bide.
The prophets came nearer to man, as did
the Levite, for they tried to bring home the
law to the consciences of the people, and ap
pealed to them by the love and terrors of
God. "Ifthere had been a law given, which
could have given life, verily righteousness
should have been by the law." But the law
was weak and powerless to this end, and man
could only wait for the fulness of time, in
hope of more effectual aid.
At length the blessed Son of God under
took His weary journey and came to man, as
he lay all wounded and helpless. He came
full of compassion, and (that He might more
fully sympathize wilh the weakness and
wants of humanity) He laid aside His own
glory, and came to man as a man, binding up
his spiritual wounds, into which He poured
wine (the blood of His passion) and oil the
anointing of His Holy Spirit. The wine
may also indicate the smarting which correc
tion of sin produces, while the oil is the
comfortable assurance of forgiveness. Man
is then raised from the ground through the
exaltation of his nature by the incarnation of
Christ, ne is brought to the inn, which is
the refuge and shelter of us all; the Church
of the Acw Covenant; and there he is cared
for with the most loving solicitude. Bat
inasmuch as Christ could not
always remain in the flash
with maii aS became expedient for
man that' he should go away, 7efc He would
not leave Him alone and friendless.
The Lord commits him to t- are of tba
hoBt the ministry of Jl9 church in whoae
ka1, he lltjes, like two pieces of money,
S.S Word and Ilia sacraments. A sufficient
provision for man's edidcation and support
until he can enter upon the last stage of his
heavenward journey.
The parting command of the Saviour to His
apostles and their successors concerning the
wounded man is, "Take care of him;" or, as
He said to St. Peter, "Feed my lambs"
Teed my sheep;" anl there is a promise,
"Whatsoever thou spendest more, when I
come again I will repay thee." "If besides the
due ministration of my word and sacraments,
which I have committed to you, ye shall
bestow, out of self-denying love and sympa
thy, kind, healing words, gentle and lowly
deeds, charitable thoughts, a pure intention,
these things (even to a cup of cold water) I
will not overlook ye shall in no wise lose
your reward.
It is to the ministration of the sacraments
of Christ those two priceless pieces of money
which ne has given to His churoh that I
would now draw your thoughts.
Let us oonsider this ministration as it is
a remedy for sin; a remedy against the
po'son of sin past; a remedy tending to its
gradual and complete removal from our whole
system.
First. Consider the ministration of the
"Word of God in the Church. How fully and
systematically is that word read in the daily
course of the let-sous, and in the weekly
course ol epistle and gowpel! How are we, hour
by hour, taught to take into our mouths,
as part of daily heavenly food, the rich and
exhanstless language of tbe Psalms of David!
How is the liturgy of the Churoh, her matins
and even-song, her various offices for special
times and occasions, steeped, as it were, in
the words of Scripture! And then to all this
patient setting forth of the Word is added
the illustration of the same, and its enforce
ment by continuous and faithful preaching.
In the face of such a constant proclaiming
of the revealed will of God, such an orderly
Betting forth of the history of man, such an
increasing testimony to the misery which sin
has brought into the world, there ought
Burely to be no churchman of ordinary spiri
tual apprehension and ordinary opportunities
of grace, who is not convinced of sin, per
suaded of its opposition to the will of God,
its ruinous efi'eots on the human race, and
its exceeding sinfulness in that it needed no
leas an atonement than tbe shedding of the
innocent blood of Jesus Christ, the beloved
Son of God.
"When we see how Bin cast the disobedient
angels out of heaven, and our diso
bedient first parents out of Paradise; bow it
marred every effort under the law and the
prophets for the bettering of man's fallen
estate; how, even after the incarnation of
the Bon of God it entered into the Church
Which He founded, and introduced schisms
and heresies; and is even now, day by day,
rending into ever smaller shreds the seamless
robe, when we see it in the unspeakable hor
rors of war, and the throes and upheaving
and convulsions of professedly Christian na
tions, in the wrong and cruelty of man to man,
and in the disquiet of the sinner's breast
through his sin, the words so constantly rea 1
and preaohed to us from Scriptures touching
sin, are brought home to us, and evermore
proved before oar eyes and in our hearts.
Surely nothing more should be wauted to
awaken in ns that amazement at the dre 1
oonse(ueneeB of Bin, and that sharp fear of
its punishment in ourselves, which is the first
step in the case of most mea toward reoavery
from it.
After a while the further knowledge of the
"Word will begin to excite in us a worthy hor
ror of sin as a malignant, defiant opposition
to the will of God and the terrible cause of
the humiliation, the agony, and the death of
Christ. Then follows the kindling of love
towards ihe Kedeemer, through whom the
restoration of man is effected, and a fountain
opened for in and for all uncloanness. Tbe
more we contemplate the mighty work which
was necessary to undo the consequenoes of
sin in the world, the more must we be filled
with that love of our Divine Master which
issues at length in a complete detestation of
sin, ia a saving repentance, in the most
watchful heed against future assaults of the
evil within and without ns.
The love exhibited in the atonecent pro
vokes our love in return; and when Chat love
is perfected in ns the bitterness of sin and
the fears of its reward must be cist out
forever.
But tbe remedy for ein is neither iatellec
tual alone, through understanding of Holy
Scripture, nor selfish alone, through fear of
the punishment of sin, or even through de
sire for the blessedness of heaven; nor is it
emotional alone, through a zealous love cf
Him who so loved us; but it must come of
grace infused into the heart an 4 soul, a gift
direct from God. It is a participation vouch
safed ns in the divinity of Him whose mem
bers we were made in baptism. It is tho
taking of our human nature into God; the
extension to us of the incarnation of Christ.
Began in baptism, it is increased to us in
confirmation, and in all the ordinary ap
pointed means of grace offered through the
Church, and specially strengthened in worth)
communion the feast upon the sacrifice of
the body and blood of Christ.
Without these divinely instituted means of
grace, there could be no true conviction
of pin; no repentance, no amendment, no
love for Him who redeemed ns by His mighty
passion and death.
Thus the sacrament of baptism is our new
.birth in Christ, the begiuning of our spiritual
me, tne emigntenment of our moral under
standing. Through its virtue we first conceive a filial
love for Him who has thus begotten us anew
in Christ, that we should be sons with Him
and joint heirs in His everlasting kingdom.
Through its light we discern the boundaries
of good and evil; nor can we choo3e evil, after
we have received baptism, without knowing
what we are doing and wilfully abandoning
the vantage-ground of truth and purity on
which we had been placed. And even with
regard to Bins after baptism, the power of the
sacrament is not limited; it reaches forward
as well as backward, and all the penitence of
our after-life is but a striving to recover tho
lost innocence which the waters of the holy
flood of baptism bestowed upon us.
Bnptism, therefore, is the prime sacrament
of the Christian life; the sacrament most ne
cessary to salvation; tho first remedy, the
chief remedy ng&inst sin, original and aotual
alike.
Then what a mighty means for the with
standing of sin is the sacramental rite of con
firmation! Tho seven-fold gifts of the Spirit
are poured out upon the worthy rociplent,
and at the most critical period of their days
they receive large increase of strength where
with to fight the battle of life. Would that
it were more common to bestow this gift
before the special dangers of life come in like
a flood upon the young soul, rather than when
those dangers are already come!
xnen mere is me least of lov kna thnnk
f H01! -aoharist. This is
be in deed and in truth worthy partakers in it
and of it.
For, in order to a worthy partakinc, there
must be a very sincere repentance, an aotual
forsaking of wilful sin, a sincere love for
God and man. While the result of a worthy
partaking is such a measure of spiritual
strength and refreshment, such a drawing
closer of the bonds of our union with Christ
as makes us strong to resist the assaults and
temptations of the Devil, and to bear the
burden of that spiritual watchfulness and
bodily self-denial essential to any real and
true progress in a godly life. It is the nearest
approach to heaven which mortal flesh can
meke.
In the language of our own bishops, it is
indeed a "heavenly place."
"In the bread and wine of that holy com
munion, faith discerns the body and blood
of our Saviour Christ; and to those who
worthily receive that sacrament, how inesti
mable its benefits !
It is unlike any other festival on earth. The
host, whose table we surround as guests, is
there set forth, evidently crucified before us;
and though we do carnally and visibly press
with oar teeth the sacrament of the body and
blood of Christ, yet if we be void of a lively
faith, we only eat and drink damnation to
ourselves.
"But though this table is ladon with sym
bols of death; though we are to eat and flrink
memorials of death the most fearful death
that ever took place on earth, yet it is a most
joyful feast, and we partake of it with a
solemn gladness, and with a calm yet rejoicing
soul. (Jur eyes, indoed, may overrun witn
tears, as we remember how deeply, how fre
quently, and how vilely we have sinned against
the Blessed Saviour, our hearts, indeed,
may throb with momentary anguish, as we
call to mind the intense sufferings of the
dying Jesus; but the pervading tone of the
mind is that of holy joy, springing fro u
peace with God, through the blood of the
Cross. For that feast assures that "a full,
perfect, and sufficient sacrifice oblation aud
satisfaction has been made" for our sins;
that the Atonement has been accepted of
God; that that death has purchased for us
eternal life; that blood secured our pardon;
those merits have become to us a robe of
righteousness; and thus clad in the garment
of our Elder Brother, thus washed in the
blood of Calvary, thus reconciled to God, and
united to Christ by a living and s jul-purifying
faith we approach with gladness, and gain
there new assurance of mercy, new strength
for duties, new supplies of peaoe, and a
deeper fulness of joy in the noly Ghost. At
the communion we get nearer to the heart of
Jesus than at any other time. Like St. John,
we then seem to lean upon His bosom, and feel
beneath our head the puUe-btut of His lov,
as He breathes over us the Spirit of holi
ness and peace."
These are not my own words; they are the
words of our own bishop, and were they not
an endorsement of every word I have taught
on the subject I should not quota them here.
The services of our Churoh are filled with
blesbings, with good things, to be used as
need requires. And these good things are
common and free. "They are not only fitted
for all the wants of life, they are free to be
used by everybody when those wants come.
There is something for every man and for
every condition in which any man may be
placed. There are words of comfort for the
difetressed. There is instruction for the ig
norant. There are thanksgivings for the
rejoicing. There are confessions and for
giveness for the penitent. For the sorrow
ing there is hope. Can we ask that more be
said to bring out the Samaritan ideal in the
practical working of the Church? The
Church of God that is, is meant to be, and 1b,
a home and rest. A man is to feel as if ho
wore in a Father's house, where ie may enjoy,
all the house contains.
How many eh.irchmen nnderstend this and
act npon it ? How many of ns use the good
freely given ns ? We are too mcdest or too
thoughtless oerUinly very few cf u get
half the good tLat we might or.t of tho
Church.
Consider the ptayers and thanl qgivingr
concerning sickneaj, travail, and distress.
Tha Church prays in general for "ail in trou
ble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other ad
versity." But she ofTsra special petitions for
individual cases. Tto humblest member of
any parish may ask the prayers of all his
brethren in the house of God in any Buffering
or distress. The humblest soul may ask all
to join wilh it in thanksgiving for any good
that God has sent. The Church will ilr Lis
special petition or his special thanksgiving 3
ana put it up as ner common onering to God.
In this, especially, the family character of
the Catholic Church comes cut of the close
ness of the unity wherein, "if one member
suffer, all tho members suffer with it." She
makes common caiiHe wilh all her children.
The loneliest sufferer is not alon. The most
single-handed toiler does not toil single
handed. She seoks to bind all in loving
bonds and knit together all her ruemuess in a
common life, with cccimon interests, hopes,
and aim?.
In thus setting before you, my brethren,
the ministration of the word and the sacra
ments of Christ in the Church as a remedy
against sin, we would neither boast ourselves
too highly, nor would we undervalue those
who do not possess the same high privileges.
We feel that the very greatness of our spirit
ual gifts is an abundant reason for oar own
exceeding care that we do not, amid such
almost limitless means of grace, prove fruit
less and unprofitable.
It will be grievous indoed to see those
who had far less advantages than ours out
stripping us in the heavenly race. Very ter
rible will be our condemnation if, in spite of
all our helps and blessings, we come short of
the prize of our everlasting race. Church
men, above all who profess and call them
selves Christians, ought to fear aud tremble
the most in working out their salvation; aud
while at the present day we are tempted to
bewail the many hindrances which lie in the
way, obstructing the free energies of the
Church, letnsremembertoour shame that few
of us live up to and use the privileges and
opportunities we already popsess. Ve have
not yet proved so faithfui in few things as to
entitle us to claim tho use of many things.
We are not so catholic in our lives as the
Church to which we belong is catholio in
her teaohing, in spite of all her chains and
fettejs.
Let us use what gif t3 wo have, and God
will surely bestow upon us His larger bless
ings. Let us pray not only with our lips, but
let it be the living prayer of our daily walk
and conversation, that we may first daly
appreciate the means of grace already
ollered us, that that which is good among
ns may be strengthened by use; and then,
when we have shon ourselves capable of
higher and better things, tljn.t which is want
ing to us may, in ine tender pity of the
grea Head of the Church, be vouchsafed
to us.
Le us ask ourselves "What is the work of
tLe Church in tho world?" Is it to gather a
few respectable men and women in the
church once in a week to hear the sermon ?
Ia it merely to be a useful institution in
providing for tho wants of the poor? Ah, no!
It is to grapple with the deadly power of sin,
to close wilh tbe devil in bin own palaoa, to
drive him from his dwelling-place, the human
heart.
Is the Church in America really doing this
work? Is it exercieiug any real power in this
awful contest? We have well-filled churches,
but what proportion of the many hearer are
really doers of the Word? Do we not hear the
mournful plaint every day of the lo.v state of
morals all through the land? What power has
tho Chnrch of God to-day among the lmsses?
Is not the state of morals of a large propor
tion of this great city something saddeniag
and terrible to contemplate? Three or four
hundred thousand peoplo in this city to-day
who have not said one prayer or hymned one
word of praise to God. What is the Chnrch
doing for such ns these? What is the result
of the work of tbe Church during the first
century of her existence on this continent?
"We found the savage stranger lying in his
degradation, and, pnssing by on tho other side,
we have allowed the pillage, rapine, and
murder of a so-called Christian government
to scatter their bleaching bones on every
hillside in the land!
We call ourselves a Christian nation, and
yet we are a nation of unbaptized, non-communicating,
skeptical, unbelieving believers.
And yet we fold our hands with self-com
placency, thanking G-d that we are not as
other men; boasting of our f roedom of speeoh,
we shut our eyes to the fact that it has be
come freedom of slander ! Our brethren on
every Bide, sick and wounded, weary and
helpless, cry to us for succor, and we "pass
by on tbe other Bide.
O God of pity, lieip ns ! lsit in mercy
this vine which Inou bast planted! liaise up,
we pray Thee, Thy power, and come among
us ! By iby bountitui graoe and mercy help
and deliver us ! Cast us not away for our
bins, O Lord ! but give us repentance and for
giveness through the blood of Jesus Christ
our Lord.
