'BIBLE HiS ENDURING mONUWENT
Wycliffe Is Interestingly Pictured as a
Patriot, Envoy and Soiritiul Ances
tor of the Puritans A Most Con
spicuous Protestant of the Four
teenth Century Translation of
Biblo His Greatest Work.
Tho series ol Sunday evaning lectures
on the "Great Johns o( Cuurch His
tory," by Kev. James MLtod, D. D. ,
was coiitiiiueil at the First Presby
terian church las1; night by the stcond
psrt of the third subject : "John Wv
oliffa. ThsMoruinuhtarof tbeltetnr
UlUtion." The interest nltached'io the
lectures was evince i by the attention
and attendance of lust night's congre
gallon, lr. UoLlod rrsisead his diioourse
by calling attsntloi lo tho fact that at
t'.ie close of hi last lecture h an
nounced that Wvollff' wis n trus pa
triot and a tru Proteetaot. Following
the text, "He being dead yetspeaksth,"
Hebrews Xi: I, ie continued as foliow:
The patriotic sot Wycliffe bee, perhaps
never beeu sur isased. lie dearly loved hi,
country. He lived l-.ugland mora than he
loved Italy, lo spumed religious despot
ism and he fought for leligioiia liberty,
it WM 0U ps none, well us on religious
grounds tn the look the side of Edward
111 against he See of Home. It was most
uuwlseou the part of Urban V todemuud
from Engl ml the feudatory tribute which
the craven coward, King John, hud
pledged. tJrbao'e demand was refused.
Edward III aud his parliament knew the
value ol Magna Cbarta, and they stojd up
for their rights, Wycliffe took an a:tivo
part ii ttie conflict. He was King Ed
war r chaplain, and he was a witness of
the -nt parliamentary debate. Indeed,
he re lorted that groat debate. He stated
cleat. y end concisely the argument! of the
Pel . and te added his own coiuiueuta.
DKVEKDID HIS COCSTBV.
a loyal EaglUbman he defeodi d tho
i .Ii' of his country against all priestly
despotism, lie did this notably in 137a,
hen, us royal comtnisMoiier, he went to
Hruges to meet the Papul envoys.
In the time of Wycliffe, and long before
and since his day, the Church of Home
was deeply engrossed with polities', other
churches have beeu mixed up, ntore or
less, with politics, aud they do not deny
it. it may be lawful and light, on occa
sion, for a church to enter tho political
arena; but to contending for her cause
be ought to bo direful and nut trample
u;ou t tie jtiat rights if others. If the
Presbyterian cbnrob should use herpj
liticsl ii.lluence in that way, she
would deserve to be execrated,
if she should, as n church, draw the
bloody sword to propagate her doctrines
nu t strike down her foes, she would act
in a most uuCbristllke way.
It Moms strange to us, Who live In these
pearetttl times, that any church pretend
ing to tie n church of Christ -could do that
wicked thing. L'ut it has beeu done often,
and with a vengeance. Yet events move
c.s they are ordered. The dies dug of the
pope at Rome on the head of Ouk" Mail
inilinn I'OUld not revive in the nineteenth
century the ecclesiastical policy of the six
teenth and the result is only a uew proof
ti.at there can be no prosperity in tbestate
u ithout religions freedom.'1 But of course,
neither the p"pe of today nor the church
over which he rule-', should ba held respon
sible for political Interference, unless, in-
dew), they should approve nud indorse it.
The samu thing is true of tho conduct of
thu church In the fourteenth, fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries. Tho successors of that
church must not be held responsible for
the most foul and bloody deeds of their
rti.costors. I'.ut it was against thii Inter
fefsnce by the church with the affairs of
stale ihat Wyclill'e fought so strenuously,
and tho result proved him to b. not only
a true patriot, but it clour-heuded stutes-
iran.
WYCUIFI A PROTESTANT.
ycliffe was the most conspicuous Prot
estant of the fourteenth century. His
views of church doctrine und of church
government are, in the main, as Scrip
tural as are those of nuy Protestant
I chinch i'f today. Jle has been called by nu
archmsnop ,rins spiritual asceeior ox tuo
ifritaus," and lhnt is strong testimony in
fuvoV of his thorough Protestantism, lie
Used both his tOSgueand his pen to propu
gate Kiel ruth, lie wielded u ready pen,
end pamphlets, lectures and sermons
made their appearance in ipiick succession.
He taogbt the people that the Bible is the
only infallible rate of faith and conduct.
In fact, Wy cliffs occupied the samo ground
in the fourteenth century which Luther
occupied ill the sixteenth century. He
was the object of hitter persecution, and
Ins teachings welo denounced and Con
demned, Hut he lived to fee his foudest
.hopes, in somu measure, realized. Hun
dreds of copies of " ycliffe s Hlble were
put into circulation; nud though hu wai
bated and pernecutut by the church of iris
day, lie died in peace aud in the certain
hope of a glorious resurrection.
The translation of the Tiibie into thu
English language was Wycliffe's greatest
work, and it is ms most euuurin.' monu
ment. "To Wycliffe, more than to any
one person, who can bi mentioned, we
oweour English language, our Kugliah
Hible aud our reformed religion." Iu giv
ing the Biblu to tho people in their own
language, Wycliffe gave another proof ef
his intense patriotism us well ua of his ar
dent piety. Ho felt that what hisco'.iu
try most needed was a knowledge of di
vine truth j for their error Could not stand
np forever against it. Wycliffe was right.
Tho open Uiblo which he gavo to the poo
pie in their own language, was Miusrva,
leaping OH earth In her divine strength
unit radiant armor, reads-, at tho moment
Of her nativity, to subdue aud destroy her
enemies.
Wycliffo knew then, what multitudes
have learned since, thnt a free und open
Hlble is the imlludium of a uatioii'sliberty.
Let the Uiblu he scattered through the
homos iu l iigland, nnrt theu WyciilTe.wiih
an eve as clear us Milton, saw a noble aud
Dtiisosnnt nation, rousing herself like
strong man lifter sleep, and shaking his
invincible locks. He could see Lugmuil as
an eagle nursing her mighty youth and
kindling her uuduzzl-d eye at the full
mid-day beam, purging aud umuuling her
long abused sight at the fountain, itself,
ot heavenly radiance, lleiico Wy CHITS ens

He being deail yet speaketh, and he
speaks with no uncertain voice. He still
lives, and It would bo strango, iudeed, if
wo were not interested in hia wotk or if
we should fail to hand down thu story of
blf life. to the generations following. For
Wycliffe's Bible is our Hil le, and Wycliffe
himself is our Wycliffe. If Wycliffe" gave
u i In, Bible it is. iilsn, true that the Llbln
gavetous Wycliffe. He saw in the Hible the
star of Bethlehem, and benos ho himself

ation." If England owua hor greatness to the
I tittle, so, tio, docs America. The llitlo is
our one national buna. To It, under Hod,
wu owu all our grestuoas and all our glory.
Its doctrines of civil nnd rellaious liberty
a; e woven into our constitution; they are
knit Into our national character; they are
the charter of our liberties. It was the
Bible, if you plena, that made tho Puri
laus. It was the Hible that built the May
(lower. It was the Bible that brought to
ihee shores the pilgrim fathers. It is the
Bible that has made us a Ood-feariug,
Christian nation, aud may the day never
eome when, as a nation, we will refuse
lo begnidSd tT its bolv precepts.
W ycliffe's Hible our Bible- has had.uid
it still lias, its enemies. Thuy have tried
to destroy it, but the tires they have
kindled for its destruction Have only
helped to spread abroad its glorious light.
A oltnire and u Puiuu aud their cchu in
this land htill breathes out threaten
iugs and slaughter against the truth -have
shot at t'ae liilile their poisoned arrows.
Thy have tried to hide the shining sun,
ami to rob the world of its holy light.
They do not f-eein to realize that no
amc'int of blasphemy can overthrow eter
nul truth. For tho glorimiB gospel of
tjhrist, these enemies of Qod and man
wonld have us embrace tikir blasphemous
go.spti of Nescience, For the Ugh: of di
vine truth they oiler us their light. Their
own ligh'. forsooth ! And what a light!
The llickering tire-Hy has -lough of light
to milk j Itself visible with I Irradiating
the darkness, but their ligl. is still more
feeble aud stiil more tiickerin"
Hut in the Uiblu we have uo light of
life, ihe sun of righteousness. This is thu
only bouk that tells us of Hod and of Ills
Obrilt, of Mil and salvation, of life's duties
aud of heaven's glories. This is the only
book that tells us how death may be
robbed ol 'ts sting aud thu grave of its
victory. This is the only book that Oils
thu soul of thu dyiug Christian with a
blessed hope nud which lights up for him
the bloom ug Uelds of immortality. This
was Wyollffi's Hible, It is our Bible,
it is (lod's Hihlo. It is no longer
nocessi'.ry to translate aud tran

grew discouraged and want nwuy.

ELOQUENT SERMON AT DUNMORE.
Preached by Rev. G. N. Makely, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., Formerly
Pastor at Avoca.
Kev. (J. N. Makely, pastor of the
Cumberland street Presbyterian church
of Brooklyn, occupied the pulpit of the
Presbyterian cnurch at Diinmors yes
terday. Mr. Makely is a well known
former meuilr of the Lackawanna
presbvterv, haying been located at
Avoca. Lately hu has assumed charge
of his preseut important pastorate nnd
has had a wonderful success Yester
day morning he preached u strong dil-
coiirso, and was listened to by a largo
audience. lie tojlc for bis eubject
' I he Love of (Tod. In part he said :
The iufiuite love of (iod is a diffi
cult thing to fully comprehend. In
fact, so great is it that man cannot
comprehend it. It is infinite and
reaches from eternity to eternity.
Oue difficulty is man's weakness.
Some it; end years of hard labor iu
studies that are not infinite und if man's
intellectual capacity is so small when
graspiug such simpls earthly matters,
how Insignificant it appears when bat
tling with such a problem as Uod's
lovo.
Another difficulty of revealing the
immensity of tuis love Is the inade
quacy of earthly expression to expluiu
heavenly things. Tbe beauties of
heavun cannot be revealed by earthly
expression. The love of (iod is inex
pressible. Uod hai kindled in our
breasts little tiros of love, through tbe
experience of which we can comprehend
in an inadequate manner what God's
love is.
It is at the most hut a faint concep
tion. Therefore, to overcome as far as
Dossible these difficulties, we must ex
amine some form of , earth, love. There
are different plans of love on earth.
One of the principal phases Is tbe con
jugal love sue 1 as exists between the
husband an I wife. God sets this be
fore us as a symbol of bis great love.
There are several cbsructeristios iu
conjugal love. First it is exclusive,
second it is inteust, third it is tnti
mate.
it must be centered in some one ob
ject to the exclusion of all others. This
may not be a tit illustration of God's
love, for God loves us all. In oue as
pect it is a true type of how Go 1 loves
us for Gol loves us all as a single per
son, therefore (ill's attention to ua is
certninlv just as exclusive as earthly
conjugal lore. Intensity of love it an
other characteristic of sonjugal love
Love ia stronger tuau death, aud what
love can bo more intense than the love
of God, whn gave hia only son to die
for us There is no earthly love
that can compare with tbe intensity
of that which exists between the hus
band and wife. They sre as one body,
and so iutenee is God's love that hs ia
the head of ths body of which we are
members. Paternal love is also an em
blem of tbe love of God. lie looks
utter one's well are aud future ns does a
father und with lovs as constant ns
that of a mother. A mother's love
never loses its constancy, nnd even
when death si p iratvs mother und child
there is nothing that can till the void
created iu the mother's heart by the
lots of her child.
When we are happy God is happy,
when we are sorrowful He is sorrow
ful. He rejoices in our prosperity and
mourns in our ifflction. Therefore
we should not grieve the holy spirit of
God, for he mourns over our sins at
does a mother overflies) of ber child.
No matter how sinful we are God
loves us still, If Go l loves us why
should we fear, Will He fail to care
for in'.' If He gave Ilia only son to dis
for ut when ws were sinful how much
more He would do for ua when are
living according to His precept).
