Re?. Rogers Israel's Sermon at Church of the
CjoJ Shepherd.
TRAITS CEMENTED INTO 10VE
Invention of Christ's Character Im
possible Without Hi3 Existence to
Invent It His Humility, Self-Donial
and Obedience Based Upon th'a Law
of Love Christ, and Not Any One
of His Traits, Should Be Cultivated.
Rov. Rogers Israel, roctor of St.
Luke's Episcopal church, preached yes
terday morning at the Church of the
Mood Shepherd, Grain Ridge, and Rev.
F. s. Balleutine, reotor of the latter
oburoh, occupied tho pulpit at St.
Luke's.
Rev. Mr. Israel' sermon was from
tho text, "Bo ye therefore followers of
God us dear children," Epbeiiuni v. 1.
Introductory to his disco rjrso, ho said
that thu subject bore upon the imita
tion of (Jurist, and, while the txt
of (tod, the bolt revelation of Go 1 i
found in Christ. After commenting
upon the identity of Christ and histor
ical teachings of His divinity and won
derful and sterol Ufa, the speaker said,
in part, as follows:
Willi tho fact of the existence of one so
dlsUngttlshed, ovon by prolan" history, as
Jesus of Nazareth settled beyond con
troversy, tlm critics turned their batteries
upon tht Gospel accounts of his Ufa and
teachings. These they said were mere in
ventions of his admirers simply myths
which had grown up around hiai because
of bis very beautiful and lovable character,
Consequently these two methods of ex
plaining away our Ljrd's works and
teaching.! us recorded in the gospels wen'
adopted: First, that tho accounts were
fictions gotten up with the intention to
deceive, Second, trat they were the nat
ural addition! of aires to a somewhat re
markable life and elmractor. The first has
DMO proved impoi libla for many reasons.
A characteristic of the gospel accounts
of our Lord's life is that tho writer, instead
(pf describing what Christ nuid and did,
represents him M giving voice himself to
his teaching! and then they leave these
teaching! to denote tho character without
comment on their part.
Consequently if thoso tcochiugs nro in
ventions and not Chriats' wordr, tlio man
who Originated or mveuted them must
have been the genius who spake as never
man spake before, In other words the In
ventor himself must havo been greater
than any ago tad over soen and th mira
cles of the invention is really mora difficult
of belief than tho original biblical state
ment. SUCH INVENTIONS IMPOSSIBLE
It has also boen shown that invention of
such a character was Impossible without
the existence of just such a man as Christ
to invent it. And further to strengthen
this point, it Is only necessary for us to
consider the impossibility of our having
the mind and carrying out the intention
to deceive, even originating the pure, spot-le-s
spiritual character of Christ, whon
(veil rears of the strictest imitation on
the part of the purest men havo failed to
duplicate even uuto touay.
Consequently, ns I said above, it be-
coinos a ne i dilhcult thing to behove
that 9on:o other spoke as Ho did than to
brlievo that tho Uospvl accounts nro truo
of Him whom they leave His own words to
describe. Admitting the force ot the
arguments the adverse critics conteas to
tfco historic character of Christ, admit, the
saying! and the teachings of tho Qospels to
be largely liis and are turning all their
strength upon an analysis of His words en
deavoring to drive out the spiritual cle
ment) a we term it.
I he following statements are as certain
ns inst'.ry, subjected to the most rigorous
tan ectioii ami approver! Dy the cravings
of the universal human heart, and tho
unmeasured consent of tho human
intellect can uussibly be: First, that
there lived nineteen centuries ago a ro
mnrknblo Man named Jesus, the Christ
second, that the statements recorded of
His life, Ilis words and His acts aro gonu
inn historical accounts.
These being fact", thero remains for us
lo see what He mndu Himself to be: First.
He claimed to bo tho Messiah, the Son of
Ood. the Nuvior of the world; second, lie
proved His statement by many woudertul
works, chief or w incn was tno inoivianai
personal human character Ho presented
for Uie 6tuuy or tue race a cr.aracter
which is universally acknowledged, not
only by Chiistians, but by heathen, to bo
the character til a neneot man.
It, is adv: lo for us to consider tho
building up Of this character, (or I pit
sumo that no man of ordinary com mo
oeuse deliberately chooses the evil, uu . v
ful. vicious life, but is rather lea into
it by weakness, or temptation, or ignor
ance of tho truo and lawful, and conse
nuontly nil men aro more or less anxious
to Know tno truth and to understand, now
they may, if they will, build up a noble,
manly character.
POINTS OF JKSUs' CBABAOn&
Christ, taught and exemplified humility
in his own uie: "lie that would u:i jroat
est among you let him bo your sorvant, "
he said, and then in his own person wash
od his disciple's feet. His humility was so
natural, so manifested that it impre.ssoi
every reader with ite sincerity. It is that
humility which arises from a love lor man
so deep that in unconscious grandeur it
stoopeil from the highest, p siMou to ac
complish tho lowest deeds. The second
most prominent point or tins cuaracter is
nraverfuluess. That Ood in the flesh
should find need to pray to Ood in heaven
seems either a paradox or a duality of
(lods. But that tho divine humility, which
is tho interpretation of the above, tho por
fet-t man should need tho assistance of
actual prayer ought to impress us with the
still greater necessity of imperfect human
nature making use of the same instrument
for assistance. .
The "Our Father," which is now accept
edas the universal prayer of all men seek
ing lorl, came from his lips ns nn example
for all prayer hereafter, llio intercessory
prayer sivea us the model of nil interces
sion and presents us with hi! approbation
a kind of prayer which to-day 1b much
neglected and the utility of which is often
doubted. And then when tho last dread
agony is near we rind Him mooting it truly
on his knees and we may hear tho words
of his human agonized heart, "Father, if
it be possible, lot thlt cup pass from mo.
out not my will but tluno bo done."
Who can then oxpect to bo Curist-liko
without pruyc: ? Who can pretend to the
Unrllt spirit without this earnest natural
communion with iiod such ns be dianlavi
If He, the perfect man. felt help and com
fort for himself and assistance for Ilis
friends by thus turning to that Father to
Whom he was was the Immediate sou, how
much moro need that we, children only oy
adoption, and or imperfect human nature,
should seek succor and defense and culture
fiom the same great Father.
Another prominent characteristic for us
tn observe la his boi( denial, solf-foigetful
tiess, uuselflshuos8. Ho forsoolt a condi
tion of perfect happiuess (or earthly suf
fering and tho cross. Itesignod the ruling
ot a universe to aocopt service among men
Wo cannot paint tno picture too vividly
Accepting tho conoittou of a Borvant
among men lie, with it, assumed ami enr
rled out all its accompaniments. Without
a murmur or complaint ho denied himself
rest, easo and human sympathy.and what
ever might hinder ills progross or inter
fero with tho carrying out of His work
and that work was tho sulvation of the
Again wo find simple and implicit obedi
mice in nil His actions. "I enroo not to do
my own will but the will of Ilitn who nont
me," and ogaif he taught us to say, "thv
will bo done on earth ns It is in heaven
and again, "my meat Is to do the will of
Him that seut me."
To these four points I direct your atten
tion this morning humility, prayerful
ness, self-dental, obo llence. W e find all
of them based upon the fundamental law
of love, which our Lord enunciated so
clearly, that law whiob, twofold in iis
character, is so world embracing, iu its
scope, lovo to God and love to man. Out
of this prows the beautiful foliage and
fouit which we havo attempted to describe.
THIS sriRIT OF I.OVE,
In the life of Christ no one of the charac
teristics preponderate to tho exclusion of
tho other, but nil are cemented together,
and permeated by tho Bplrit of lovo. If
men, as the perfect man, t hrlst is the to
ltuiou u our ubvsiCHl, moral and spiritual
duties it behoove! us to stnvo to cultivate
not oae characteristic only, but Cbrut as
a whole.
It has been said recently that "there is a
great deal o( uubaptized Christianity in
the world today" and bo there is and
while this portion of society is dependent,
BJ tho very statement shows, upon Christ
for all its gentle characteristics, it refuses
him acknowledgement before the world
and casts tho reflection upon his organized
and professed follower! that outside of
Christ may bo cultivated those same grac
ious virtues.
We must sadly admit that tho church Is
by far from what she should be, but yol
ho m the rtcoiruizo I ally of Christ, ilis
body in which oven th.i most Indifferent
member Is allied with Him and we know
that outside f that membership, which is
nir.ed bv obedience to the divine com
mand to be baptized, completed in the
laying on bands and developed ia charac
ter and spiritual growth bv obedience
again to the command "this do, (as oft as
ye drink ii) in remembrance or n.o."
(tod created nil tlnnes and continues nil
tilings iu system and Order. Had ChfU
tiuuity not been organized from tho be
ginning it niui long since have dissipat. d
its strength In various channel! of indi
vidual WUim. When organization and
order are destroyed iu it, then Christian
ity taunt, die, and consequently ho that op
poses or refuses co-operation in organized
Christianity, refuses support to the cause
of Christ. The lack of obedience,
tile refusal to humble ourself to fol
ic w JeiUS turns the influence of many a
(air character .igiinst the cause ot Him to
whom that character owes all Its fairness,
It is not a (must ion of quality, but of love.
If the imitation ot Christ, arise from love
of Him.this will rsveal to usour double, re
lationship (to Ood nud to man) and lend to
a hearty deulre to appropriate not one, but
all the characteristics of ilis lire ani
through this appropriation io become
members of that body of which Christ is
the bead branches of that vine of which
he is the trunk and heirs of that kingdom
of which Bo is sovereign.

R. F. Wicks', the Boy Lecturer's Sormon
at Calvary Kf.jrrad Church
Dining tho nbsenca abroad of Rev.
W. II. Stubblebine, pastor, the pulpit
of the Calvary Reformed church has
been occupied by Ross F. Wick, a the
ological student from thoUrsduua Tbo

Mr. Wicks has for several years been
ktiow ua "The Hoy Lecturer." Ho is

tention of tii3 hearers, itio young
man has earned bis way through
LTi'sluus and will finish his studies dur
ing the next two vears at McCorniick's
Thjologlcil University et Chicago.
Ihe sermon of Mr. Wicks Inst night
WO! from tho text, I ttrsiie, for thou
shalt surely overtako them and will re
cover all without fail," I Samuel xix,8
A portion of tho discourse was as fol
lows: There is intense excitement in the little
town of Ziglag. David and his men are
saying good bye to their wives aud cbll
dren, and are about to start off to battle.
This evening I am carrieil back to those
lavs of real warfare to that evening
when David gathored his loved ones around
tho family altar and told them he would
have to go to war. 2io doubt David s
wol ds caused sad hearts, but in all tho sor
row occasioned there must have been but
ono wish coming from the hearts of his
wife and children, thut success would
crown every elTort aad that ha might lie
permitted to return sately to them again.
We say good byo hero in tho moruuig
Lips are pressed, warm hands aro clasped
but tho great, great question is, shall we
again meet in thu same sweet communion?
I would like to have you notice that we
may 6tai t in the morning with a quick
step, a smiling countenance; wo may b
iu the best of health and leave our loved
ones safe; but what does the evening say?
A great cuange; tno smiio una gone; in
place of n quick step wo havo tho slow one.
On ourreturn a dear friend has gone; our
home is iu ashes.
David realizes this. David Boon returns
from the wars, and no sooner are tho bat
tles over than the thought comes to him of
marching homeward marching homeward
to meet the sweet tuces which am tin.
crown and joy of his life. As he is resting
on his way, in his sleep ho
dreams of home. Onward, onward ho
goos and soon they come to a hill
overlookirg Ziglag. the place near and
dear to His heart, liut, on! what, a pic
turo of horror meets his gaze. Ilia heart
bleeds as tho question is asked: Whore
ou, wuito! is Ziglag.'' au! the city is in
afhes, and tho minimis are carried awav
captives by the Atutlekites. David wesps,
but soon his sorrow turns into mire. He
at once makes inquiry of theLord what ho
snail (io. lie receives au answer, rursue,
for thou shalt overtuko thorn, and with
out fan receive all. ' mat was a joyous
message for David, ho tools now that his
dear ones will be restored to him again.
Notice tli.it confidence in (lod began to
revive when David saw Ziglag in ashes,
when ho was iu much trouble. How often
is that tho case in your lilo and in mv life
As loug as our little boat is sniliugacross
a calm ocean we do not care or are con
scious of our dependence upon a higher
power, nut when trouble comes, how-
soon wo aro ready to fly to tod fur help

had reached a point opposite the
Scranton House when a violont ex
plosion utmost threw him to the
ground. A moment later bo noticed
il lines breaking out from hn placa of
business.
Tho fuo cointunies respond ;d iu good
time, and before many mlnutea live
striuims were at play upon the fit met,
It required but a half boar to bring
thu fire under control, but the contents
of the building were destroyed before
the fire was put out.
The Bell Clothing house and M. F.
Rcilly's hotel, on either side of
tho burned building, wore burned to
a more or less extent. In the Bell Clotl:
ing house much damage was done from
the volutin of water that p mro 1 from
the hose of the I'm) companies. Rsilly s
hotel did not suffer to any extant worth
calculating,
lbc explosion that preceded the hie
was similar to the detonation resulting
from a powder mill explosion. Thr
atore was closed up at 11.43. and after
closing up Mr. Davis remained iu front
of tho store for nearly a half hour. His
theory in regard to the tire Is that ii
resulted from the explosion of gas iti
the workshop ou the stcond floor.
About a week ago Mr. Divisfent word
to tho officials of the Scranton Gas and
Water company to the eff ct that n
strong smell of gi s was noticed around
tho store.
Tha supposition is that there must
have been a leak iu tho pipe for some
time uud a quantityof gas accumulated
from it. '1I10 stock was entirely de
stroyed and not a cent's worth was
saved from the rnih3. The total lesf
from tho tiro will amount to $W,000.
