LU — THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. THURSBLAY, AUGUST 19, 1897 JESUS OF NAZARETH, In Al His Works and Ways He Was Wonderful. The Saviour of the World Is Held Up to Our GazeHe Ix the One Altogether Lovely A Etromg Sermon. In his most mage drew Saviour of recent sermon Dr. Tal- many pen pictures of the mankind from different points of view, His remarks were based on text Isaiah 9: 6: “Hig shall be called wonderful.” The prophet lived in a dark time. For 8,000 the world has been getting Kingdoms had As the captain sees relief com- } the name SOIC Veurs Worse arisen and perished. of a vessel in distress ing across the water, so the prophet, amid the stormy times in which he lived, put the telescope of prophecy to his eye, and saw 750 years ahead, one Jesus advancing to the rescue. I want to show that when Isaiah called Christ the Wonderful, be spoke wisely In most houses there is a pioture of Christ, represents Him with a effeminate, with a despotic, 1 West's Christ; Sometimes it face face sometimes have soen grand sketch of the rejection of I have seen of Christ a8 ou in emerald, said be by command of Tiberius Caesar; and yet I am convinced that I shall never snow how Jesus looked until, on that Sabbath morning, I shall wash the last sleep from my eyes in the cool river of Heaven. I take of divine photographs, an Luke's sketch, at Mark's John's andl say nderfull™ I think that you are all interested in the story of Christ. You feel that He the face an to sweet up this book } 1 sketch, at sketch look at sketch, and at Paul's 1 with Isaiah, **W¢ 8 the only one ha ve wn fal ® gM tries and may be opened A poor, sick, panting woman pressing through the crowd says: *'] h the hem of His garment.” Children who love their mother better than any get into His arms, and to kiss His cheek, and t« run their fingers through His hair, and for all time putting with the little is hard- ly a» nursery in Christendom from which Le does not take one, saying: “1 must have them; [I will fill Heaven with these; for every cedar that I plant in Heaven I will have 50 white lilies. In the hour when | was & poor man in Judea they were not ashamed of Me, and now that I have come to the throne 1do not despise them. Hold it not back, oh, weeplog mother; lay it on My warm heart. Of suth is the king: dom of Heaven.” What is this coming down the road? A triumphal procession. He is seated, not on a» chariot, but cn an ass; and yet the people take off their coats and throw them in the way. Oh, what a time Jesus made among the children, among the beggars, among the fisher men, among the philosophers! You may boast of self-control, but if you had seen Him you would have put your arms around His neck and sald: "Thou art altogether lovely.” Jesus was wonderful in the opposites and seeming antagonisms of his na ture. You want things logical and consistent, and you say, “How could Christ be God and man at the same time?" John says Christ was the Crear tor: “All things were made by Him, and without Him was ngs gn ng made.” Matthew sala that he omni “Where WO or are ih Thy name, there “stn 118 the midst of them.” Christ his own eternity: “lam Alpha " eyes that my eyes ust Loud me else, struggle t Jesus so in love nes that there and SRY | grammar shou ! awkwardness and earnest How can He’ be a on, under is foot rushing kingdoms, and yet a lamb licking the hand that slays Him? At what point do the throne and the man. ger touch? If Christ was God, why flee into Egypt? Why not stand His ground? Why, instead of bearing tho cross, not lift up His right hand and crush His nssassina? Why stand and be spat upon? Why sleep on the mountain, when He owned the palaces of eter nity? Why catch fish for [lis break. fast on the beach in the chill morning when all the pomegranates are His, and all the vineyards His, and all the cattle His, and all the partridges His? Why walk when weary, and His feet stone-bruised, when He might have taken the splendors of the sunset for His equipage, and moved with horses and chariots and chariots of fire? Why beg n drink from the wayside, when out of the crystal chalices of eternity He poured the Fuphrates, the Missis- sippi and the Amaron, and dipping His hand in the fountains of Heaven, and shaking that hand over the world, from the tips of His fingers dripping the great lakes and the ocean? Why let the Roman regiment put Him to death, when He might have ridden down the sky followed by all the cav- alry of Heaven, mounted white horses of eternal victory? You cannot understand. You try to confound me. founded before you speal. Paul sald it was upsearchables He went climb- ing up from argument to argument, and from antithesis to satithesis, and from glory to glory, and theo sank down in exhaustion as he saw far above him other heights of divinity unscaled, and exclaimed, ‘*that in all things le might have the pre-eminence. Again: Christ was wonderful in His teaching. The people had been used to formalities and technicalities; Christ upset notions as to how preaching ought to be dome There was this peculiarity about His preach- ing: the people knew what He meant from the together; on Who can?

Come, men of Jerusalem-—ye whose dead He brought to life; ye whose siok He healed; who will help Him? Who will seize the weapons of the soldiers? None to help! Having carried such a» cross for us, shall we refuse to take our eross for Him? Shall Jesus bear the oroms alone, And ali she world go free? No, thtro’s a cross for everyones, And there's a cross for me, You know the process of ingrafting, You bore a hole into a tree and put in the branch of gnother the treo of the cross hard and , but into the holes where the wont there have been grafted branches of the Tree of Life that now bear frult for all nations The origlusl tree was Yen waste gets the | mr | ridicu- | the | ufferers had | ur fine boat | the bottom. * | religidus teacher is to | law of ! 1 be snapped in the un- | bitter, but the branches Ingrafted were swoet, and now all the nations pluck the fruit and live forever, Again: Christ was wonderful in lis victories First—over the forces of nature, The sea {sn crystal sepulcher, It swallowed | the Central America, the President and | the Spanish Armada as easily as any fly that ever floated on it, The inland lakes are fully as terrible in their wrath, Galilee, when aroused in a storm Is overwhelming; and yet that sea crouched in His presence and licked His feet.

Oh, that this might be your marriage day! Stand up, immortal soul! Thy Beloved comes to get His betrothed. Jesus stretehes forth His hand and says: “I will love thee with an everlasting love,” and you respond: “My Beloved is mine, and I am His" 1 put your hand In His; henceforth be one. No trouble shall part you-—no time cool your love. Side by side on earth—aide by side in Heaven!
