HE WESTON MILL CO POPULARPONCH CIGARS CHRIST'S RELIGION AND HUMANITY Beautiful Thoughts la the Sermon of Rev. William H. Swift. PLEA FOR CHARACTER BUILDING Ilonesdale Presbyterian Pastor's Sermon in the First Presbyterian huretflle freed a Walking as Christ Walked and That His Self Sacrifice Take the Place of Man kind's Self-Love. A sermon that was beautiful in thought and calculated to encourage an up-bullding and uplifting of Chris tian character was preached in the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning by Rev. Willam H. Swift, pas tor of the Hunesdale Presbyterian church. Couched In simple but logical language and delivered with unusual earnestness, the discourse could not have failed to elicit the sympathy of the congregation and give encourage ment for better living. The text was "He that Salth he nbtdeth In Him, ought himself also so to walk, even as He walketh," John 11:6. Mr. Swift said: The religion of Christ Is something more than a rule of faith. "Hodge's Theology," "Calvin's Institutes," Au gustine s City of God." are not unris tlanity: nor Indeed are the Scriptures. The very fact that truth has been re vealed and can be known comes with It the obligation to know it. But think ing correctly, expressing the thought In the language of the schools, will mn save the world or the individual soul. Christianity Is a life a power because a life. Its beginning. Its continuance, its end run parallel wltn correct thought Indeed, but there may bo cor rect thought without the life It stands for, as there may he shadow without stibstunce. H ING ICS ON FAITH. While Christ here makes belief on Him pivotal, "He that belleveth shall be saved:" while salvation hinges on faith: whlie It Is the condition of new birth, the cradle in which Infancy Is rocked, and. It Is true, both the purent und the offspring of knowledge grow ing In strength uioiK.rtionutely with Christian growth, yet Christ makes faith's genuineness und truth s power manifest through Godly living. While Christian life In Its Inception consists In being In Us correct manifestation II consists in doing. The evidence of correct thinking Is correct doing. "He that salth he ubideth lit Him ought himself also so to walk even ns He walked" for Paul says in Kpheslans: "lie ye therefore followers of God, us dear children," where in the orlglnul Is used our Kngllsh word "mimic," iinl tute God, study the life, the character, the example of God munifest In the Hesh and put your foot in the marks left on the sands by His impress. We might spend the time very pro fitably considering the reasons why we should Imitate Jesus, because, first. He is the highest conceivable type of hu manity und absolutely perfect model tiller whom to pattern the life, or. again, becnuse of the power His life would have over us as we received Ills impress, and because lllled with His spirit from studying His exalted char acter, or, ugiiln, because of the fact that sin would become mote and more silbiugiited. us we become more per fectly rilled with Christ, as we should from wrapt contemplation of Him us u perfect pattern, or, one more, be cause of the Joy resulting from His In forming us the "hope of glory." MORE PRACTICAL VIRW. Hut the view we wish to take Is a more practical one. Let us consider for a few moments some particulars wherein we should Imitate Him. Luth er says It Is "not Christ's walking on the sea. but His ordlnury walk that we are called on here to Imitate." We ought to Imitate Jesus In His complete surrender of His own will to the will of God the Father. I shall not attempt a discussion of the philosophical ques tion whether Christ possessed two wills or one will, and whether if there were two distinct wills there must not have been two distinct persons, as well as two natures. 1 take Itwhllesuch discus sions mav sharpen the intellect, they can throw no light on the person of Jesus, as the same clouds and darkness are over the union of duty and hu manity, as about the God whom by searching we cannot find out. I.t us simply accommodute ourselves to the plain language of Scripture: Jesus salth unto them. "My meat Is to do the will of him that sent me"; "I seek not mine own will, but the will nf the Father which hath sent me"; "For I came down from heaven not to do mine own will but the will of Him that sent me"; "O, my Father, If It be possible, let this cup pass from me, nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt." He went away ngain the second time, and again the third time, saying the same words, from which It Is evi dent, whatever our theology may teach us, that there was a struggle In the heart of Christ, a temptation not to submit to the will of God. a tempta tion to rebel against the requirement of God, and that In this particular, ns In all others. He was tried as we are, and In bending His will to the will of the Father, He Is to be our example. We are In this particular to follow closely In His footsteps. Whenever thu question arises, "What shall 1 do?" and on the one hand are my preferences, and on the other the clearly revealed will of God, there Is to tie no hesitation In reaching a decision, since, like our Divine Lord, we have come into this new world to do the will of Him that sent us. But we are to Imitate Christ In passively enduring God's will. "Not as 1 will, but as thou wilt." RIIItrXK FROM PAIN. It Is not natural to love suffering; we shrink from pain, and Jesus was no ex ception. He shrank from the trial; He shrank from the crown of thorns; He shrank from the cross-bearing, the crucifixion, the hiding of the Father's face from drinking of that cup over flowing with bitterness and yet through It all breathed the spirit of submission to Ihe Father's will. If It Is His will that we go unto our own. and our own receive us not; if It is His will that we sow In tears and see here) no ripening harvest over which lo re joice; If It Is His will that we spend much time In Gethsemane; If it is His will that trials meet us: if, like Paul, we go "bound in the spirit unto Jeru salem, not knowing the things that shall befall us there: if it is His will that the thorn crowns of defeat In stead of the gold crowns of victory shall rest upon our brows: If It is His will that we shall be buffeted when un deserving such treatment; If it Is His' will thnt though faint, and weary, and heartsick we shall bear our own crosses till we fall beneath them; if It is His will that we find our Calvary here, our defeat In crucifixion, our hones) buried In the rock-hewn sepulchre, with the stone rolled against the door; if It ls His will that through much tribulation we enter into the kingdom of God; If it His will that bright prospects shall find an early eclipse, that pros perity shall become adversity,' that riches shall make for themselves wings and our lot be the lot of the poor man; If it Is His will that our anticipations shall never be realized: if it Is His will that the wlue-press shall be trodden by us alone; If It Is His will that our homes shall be desolated, that there shall be vacant chairs at the hearth stone and the table: that trouble shall flutter its wings of night over the cra dle and follow our loved through life: IT it be His will that the worse than death shall be ours, the loss of good name, the sun setting behind the clouds, the averted face If It be God's will that we endure all this and more, if we say that we abide In Him we "ought also so to walk even as He walked" patiently, uncomplainingly, resignedly. "Thy will, O God, not mine be done." The disciple is not to be above his master. But let us In the second place imi tate Jesus, walk as He walked, in His giving Himself for the good of His fellow-men. Now says the Apostle, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;" Imitate Him, walk in His footsteps; live not for yourselves; live for others. He laid down His life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. The dark spot on the world's history Is self-love. The underlying cause of all that is hideous and forbidding as we turn over page after page of the past, back, back, to that gate, guarded by the messenger of God with the flaming sword. Is self-love. Those blight, red snots are blood marks, the Insignia of self-love. All the plotting and counter-plottings, - the Intriguing, the crimes, the wars, the desolations that have swept across the earth plains leaving ruin in their path were In spired by self-love. All the poisonous plants breathing forth disease and dea'h found their root in self-love. All that has been noble, uplifting, grand, heroic, purifying, saving In the world's history has been the outcome of self-sacrifice for the good of the race. Heaven is heaven because of Christ's surrender of Himself. Karth will be come heaven when He is perfectly fol lowed, and self-offering becomes the law of life. While this principle finds Its brightest illustration In the death of Christ It at the same time finds its Illustration In His life. Think of the kinds and forms of sorrow ever ap pealing to His large heart. It Is no wonder tradition says He never laughed. Think how much there was utterly distasteful to Him, how much that was shocking, how much that wus repulsive. Think of what Ho came to do, and then of His reception of the manifest tngratltude His rejection, His persecution. LIFE A SKLF-SACRIFICR. The Ufa of self-sacrifice Is no attrac tive life looked at from the low stand point of natural preference. It means a constant struggle with nil that Is dlsheurtenlng. Deepest rooted In every soul Is self-interest, Is selllsh Interest. To field Is a battle Held. There the light is fiercest and all victories are ufter hand to hand conflicts and only conquests Inch by Inch. And because the struggle Is so Intense and the ground of the heart so hotly contested, und the march of the right so stoutly resisted, therefore Is It that every tri umph is greeted with the huzzas of the advancing truth. Do we know what It Is to suffer loss for the good of others? willingly suffer loss? That character ized the life of Christ, and our lives ure tints fur Chrlstlike. Do we know what It Is to sacrifice for those who lire umippreciatlve? Christ knew what that im-unl. Are we culled upon to labor for the unthankful? Christ did that. Does duty cull us where we shrink from going? Christ gave Him self to such work. 1 said a moment ngo, looked nt from the lower stand point, the life of sell'-deiilul was unat tractive; looked ut from the highest standpoint it Is the Ideul life, for the purest joy Is found In self-denlul. The tinpleusuntest duties of life, where the motive and ruling passion are others, good pay the largest dividends of sat isfaction or that when the end of life comes, like Matthew Hale, the noble young American patriot, who died re gretting that he had but one life to give to his country, we die regretting that we have one life only to give our ftilowmen. I.TCT VS IMITATR CHRIST. Lastly and briefly, let us Imitate Christ In Ills possession, manifest pos session of unadulterated love. This is ground reason of the foundation upon which rests all we discover In the life and death of Christ, Its Inspiration, Its source. Its Impelling power. The rea son why He did the Father's will, the reason why He gave Himself for the good of the race was because of His boundless love "who loved us and gave Hmlself for us." The reason why lie uttered those touching sweet words, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest," was because Ills grand heart was moved us He saw the toiling, struggling, burdened, hard-bestead world grasping at every straw of hope, only to bo disappointed, was because He wanted to tuke upon Himself the burdens of life and carry them for every poor, tired, weary, crushed, de spairing human soul. Oh, how He loed this world! How grandly He has manifested thnt love "giving His life a ransom for It." The banner under which He mnrches Is the banner of love. The spirit that breathes through His gospel Is the spirit of love; the potency of the "good news" has been the power of love; the hand lie ever holds out Is the hand of love: the chalice He offers Is the chal ice of love; the scourge In His hand Is the scourge of love; His threats nnd warnings and Invitations and promises are all knit together with the gold and silver threads of love. It Is God's love, God's Infinite, Inexhaustible, boundless love that shines resplendently through the I-ord Jesus (Jaiist. LISTENS Eff HEARS NOT. The world listens, but hears not"; "There Is no Jesus," say the sectlcal. "Ye are my witnesses," says Christ to His church," "Ye are the light of the world," and the church witnesses for Christ. The church lights up the world, the church attracts to the cross, when and only when, nnd In that proportion in which It Is possessed by the spirit of Christ. The spirit of Christ Is the spirit of love; we reveal Christ when we are loving. If a man say "I love God," and hates his brother, he Is a liar, for "He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can lie love God whom he' hath not seen." Are we walking In the footsteps of Him who "when He was reviled, re viled not again, who, "when He suf fered, threatened not"; In the steps of 111 in who suld, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." In the steps of Him who suld, "Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you; pray for them that despitefully use you." oh, for more of His spirit! Oh, for that love that will make all crosses crowns that will Impel us In the path of duty, with the one thrilling, ringing, exultant cry: "The love of Christ, the love of Christ constrnineth us, because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead, and that He died for all that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him .who died for them and rose again." There Is the path In which Christ walked through Gethsemnne and by Calvary. Are we walking In His footsteps? FRANKLIN COMPANY'S TROUBLES. Fire Department Committees o Councils to Consider the Matter.
