II, OF THE

of Christianity.
DISCUSSED IJY KEY. . HUGHES
Mndo Christ's Argument fot Christianity
the Basis of a Urlllltint Sermon at
tlio J tick son Street Church of tho
Vest Side Yesterday Morning.
At the Jackson Street rinptlst church
yesterday morning Rev. V. C. Hughes,
D. D., delivered a thoughtful sermon on
"Christ's Argument for Christianity."
The speaker took his text from the
words of John 3:10 "For God so loved
the world that he gave his only begot-
REV. V. C. HVGIIE3.
ten son, that whosoever belleveth in
Him might not polish but hnve ever
lasting life." Pitting the course of his
discourse Dr. Hughes said:
Some say that Christianity Is still on
trial. It would be il wonder if it were not
so, for this Is an une In which nothing Is
considered fettled. The evolutionist, arch
eolojiist. astronomer, chemist, literary
ci -it U". historian, tlieiiloK'.nn, and many oth
ers, In their respective fields, are forever
testing the principles Hml deductions of the
past, ami are seeking to reconstruct every
thing that comes unil?r their ken. Nothing
has been more thoroughly tested than
Christianity. It shlnks not from the test,
"flelieve lue,'" says its illustrious author,
"that I am In the Father: or else, believe
me for the very works' sake. "Uohn
xiv, II.)
Trove all thlnss." s:iys the champ'on of
Christianity, "hold fast that which is
gooil." 1 Thes. v, 21.
In the words of my textpwe have our di
vine Lord's argument In behalf of the
reasonableness of Christianity. This argu
ment mav be regarded as live-tlold: 1. In
the Impulse that gave It birth. 2. In its
representative ugent. 3. In the method
choien. 4. In the condition of Its practical
etllcacy. 5. In the gift It has to bestow.
Your attention is Invited to these points
In the order Just named.
I. The Impulse that gave Christianity Its
birth Is an Irreslstnble argument In its
favor. This Impulse was love "For God
so loved the world, etc."
"o Principle Superior to Love.
First In humnn affairs there Is no prin
ciple superior to love. It Is the golden
bond that unites husband and wife, parents
and children'. True patriotism is lovo of
country, whose Inspiration has led to the
Fublimest achievements for home and na
tive land. All philanthropic enterprises,
as the word itself implies, have their origin
In the principle of love. Nothing noble in
manhood or womanhood, In motherhood,
fatherhood or filial devotedness; nothing
has ilistiiiBUlshed man in hlB relation to
his brotherman or to his God that has not
sprang from this purest of all motives
love. Second This divlnest of nil principles,
Jesus says, is the Impulse that gave Chris
tianity its birth "For God so loved, etc"
and In the exercise of this principle on the
part of our heavenly Father we find its
purest and brightest rays shine forth. For
what form of love could be moro disinter
ested than God's love to sinners? What
more genuine and s if-saerillcing than Its
expression In the person of His only begot
ten Sun? What morn Impartial? "For
God so loved the world, etc." Such an ar
gument for Christianity is surely unan
swerable. And, surely, ull the character
istics of Christianity corroborate this
view.
II. Christ's second part of the argu
ment In behalf of Christianity Is Himself
as God's gift to this world "For God so
loved the world that He gave His only be
gotten Eon."
First Jesus Christ has been pro
nounced by all as the flower of mankind.
Ernest llennn, Theodore Parker. Dr. Chan
nlng, Horace Bushnell, and others, differ
ing world-wide on all questions of religion,
agree In their devout reverence for the
perfect character of Jesus .Christ. His
character was the purest, His sentiments
the wisest. His Influence has been the
most ennobling nnd the touch of Ills pure
spirit has been the most powerful tonic for
purity and mortil strength the world has
ever known. Jesus Christ, as He has lieen
made known to men, Is Himself the most
irreslstable urgument that Christianity is
from God, and the adoption of Its princi
ples and faith In Its author would be tho
world's salvation.
An Irroslstlhlo Argument,
III. The method chosen by God, through
His Son Jesus Christ, is an lrresistable
argument In behalf of Christianity. Jesus
says: "1 give my life as n ransom for
many." "I am the good shepherd. The
good shepherd glveth his life for the
she?p."
First Here we have the noblest trait of
llfo altruism. I.e.: living for others. This
word, altruism, has only been recently In
troduced into our literature; Its profound
slgnlllcance was long ago set forth In the
personal sacrifice of Jesus Christ In tho
behalf of sinful and selllsh humanity.
Second To this principle In every-day
life all pay homage. In huse-life, the
personal sacrifices of father and mother
for their children are pointed to us typical
of that which Is divine and heavenly. Do
we not raise monuments in honor of those
who lay down their lives on their coun
try's altar, and to those who show their
love for Hielr fellowman by deeds of phil
anthropy? Do we not honor with tokens
of gratitude brave firemen who risk their
lives to save others, und those who plungo
Into rivers ivnd oceans to rescue tho drown
ing? Those, who engage in mlsslonury
work at home and abroad we Instinct
ively honor. Why? Ilecause to live for
others Is the highest and noblest of all
forms of life. This Is altruism. The prin
ciple Is recognized among ail the peoples
of Christendom. Who has given us Hie
most Illustrious example of this principle?
Ho "who was in the form of God, and
thought It not robbery to he equal with
God, but made himself of no reputation
and took upon film the form of a servant,
and was mado'.n the likeness of men, and,
being formed in fashion as a man, He hum.
bled Himself and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross. "Phil.
II. G-8.
Ah, here Is a vicarious form of sacrifice
against which thero can be nothing but
the profoundest gratitude in the heart of
every true man and womun. This was
the method of God's love for the salvation
of the world of sinners whom He could
save! Who can object to it? Jesus prof
fers this as one of His unanswerable ar
guments In belinlf of the divine origin of
Christianity. His life for ours.
IV. Tho condition of Its practical effi
cacy Is another point In Christ's argument
for Christianity "That whosoever be
lieveth in Him should not perish."
God's Gift for Our Sntvatlon.
First This .Is phllocophlcnlly correct In
principle. To believe In Jesus Christ Is to
accept Him ns God's gift for our salvation;
It Is to rely for pardon and peace and llfo
from God through His merits; It Is to rev
erence His name, obey His word, adopt
His precepts, cultivate His spirit, in a
word, to becomo In every true sense His
follower, ji no other way can anyone be
benefitted "by Jesus Christ or by anyone
else. No person can do us good In whom
we do not bolleve. No truth can be a truth
to anyone which ho will not believe. Ev
enly fact of history, of science, of every
day life will be thrown away on him who
rejeots It. So also in regard to Jesus
Christ. The principle of faith holds good
n regard to Him. However, perfect His
character, pure His method, gentle and
ft - u
Mjkm
V mm -
loving His spirit, and mighty to save, It
will all be thrown away on every one who
will not believe In Him. This, then, Is an
urgument In behalf of the condition of the
practical clllcncy of love that is unanswer
able. The principle of faith Is us essential
for salvation through Christ as the fact
of eating Is the supiwrt of physical life.
V. Finally The argument from the gift
that God proffers through Jesus Christ is
equally unanswerable. ''That whoaoever
belleveth In Him should not perish, but
have eternal life." Ivtenml life is tho gift
of God through Jesus Christ.
Life only can glvo life. Tho stuunchest
evolutionists now admit this principle.
"No Increase of ecimplcxlblllty," says Al
fred Itnssell Wallace, "could have pro
duced living protoplasm." Darwinism, p.
474.
Eternal llfo can be Imparled by Him who
alone possesses II. The only belsg in this
unlverso that has eternal llfo Is Jchus
Christ, and He to whom He gives It. This
Is His proffer, to all, without respect of
persons: "Whosoever."
Thus wo have seen Christ's mighty ar
gument holds good In every part of It. and
by It He KhOM'B that Christianity Is God's
last and best gift to man, because Ills
only begotten Son Is Its life, its substance,
Its till In all worthy of Its author and
worthy of universal acceptance.
