Rev. Thames tie Gruohy, pastor of
tho Jackson btreet Haptlst crunch de
livered a powerful sermon yesterday
morning on "The World, the Message
nnd the Man." His text was taken
from Romans 1:15,, "So as much as
In mo Is, 1 am rendy to preach the
rospel to you tli.U tiro In Rome alto. '1
The sermon was as tollows:
Uno blight morning iw, years ngo, n
vessel piidhcd out from the beautiful ha--bor
of Syracuse, passed northward
through thu Btralls of Sicily, halted n
llttlo at tho old fortress of Ilheglum, and
then moved on across tho open sea to
wards tho shores of Italy. It was a Ro
man vessel officered by Roman soldiers,
and carrying Roman prisoners to answer
nt a Roman tribunal. Thero was noth
ing uncommon In tho sight. Such ves
sels at that time Decked the Aegean and
tho Adriatic sea. And yet tho eyes of
the world may well be upon thnt boat.
If tho historian points out with tragic
Interest, the flagship of Columbus, when
It nenred a new world, or the vessel 01
Cortcz lloatlng to tho shores of tho Yuen
tun, this Roman boat with its freight
of human lives pushing from the shores
of Sicily to Italy, may well hold the eyes
ot the world. Por bet'oro that vessel Is a
new world to bo conquered; and clmlnul
to ono of Its benches comes tho conqueror.
Tho new world Is Europe, and tho con
queror Is Pnul. The vessel landed at Pu
toll, and guards and prisoners take up
their Journey nlong tho famous highway
that leads to the eternal city. Often
nlong that tamo road tho feet of con
querors had marched In triumph. Its
dust had been rolled upward by tho
wheels of triumphal chariots. Tho air
had been filled with the shouts of the
pcoplo and tho clash of Instruments.
Along this road 11 Caesar had marched
his prisoners 'under triumphal arches.
NO CROWDS NOW.
Today, us we look along th.it vay, wo
seo only a few Roman guards, a few
barefoot and hcartsoro prisoners tied In
bunches. Thero Is no gathering of people
to look up.rn them and no shouts to Jill
the air; tho spectacle Is common and
seems lnslgnlllcant. As tho straggling
company push along tired and weary thej
are mot by a small band of people, not
the great, not the noble, hut obscure
men nnd women who have come as
friends to greet ono of tho prlsonors.
That is all. Seo them straggle along till
the gatC3 of the city receives them. And
yet this was a triumphal march.
Paul, a prisoner, captured tho city.
When ho enters, Christianity has foot In
Kurope. Some men are really moro than
they seem. Paul brings tho dawn of n
now era. It was the same road travelled
by Cicero, tho matchless Roman orator,
when he was returning from exile; then
It was thronged with tho populaco to
greet tho man with a sliver tongue.
Rut Paul, manacled to a soldier, Is by
confession of thoughtful people today
moro than the peer of Cicero even as an
orator. Ho comes to enpturo Rome, not
by force or grace of human speech, but
by tho dignity nnd power of a dlvino mes
sage. Two years beforo his coming ho had
written a letter to a few friends In that
capital. In which he expressed a strong
deslro to see them and the bopp
would prosper him on bis way. Ho de
clared himself ready to preach tho Gos
pel In Rome. Ho shielded himself from
the charge of audacity by hiding himself
behind his mesrage. saying with a grand
modesty, "I nm not nsnnmed of the Gos
pel of Christ, for It Is the wisdom of
God and the power of God to every ono
thnt belloveth."
Tho great desire of his heart Is noiv
realized. He has como to Rome with tho
Gospel on his lips, nnd with tho clang
of heavy chains. It may not bo as ho
pxpeeted to come, for he comes to appeal
his case to Caesar. Hut ho Is so eminently
the nmbas'ndor of Christ thnt we almost
forget his chains. Paul Is summoned to
thn bar of Caesar when the caso was
called, Caesar Is at tho bar of Taul.
PAUL AT ROME.
"What thoughts rush through tho mem
ory as those words aro spoken! What a
rise from obscurity to power tho name
of Paul suggests! What a decline from
glory to shame tho mention of Rome re
calls. Tho one Is tho abiding greatness
of a great personality; tho other tbo
vanishing glory of an empire, great
chiefly In military pomp and uplendor.
Thn world has now a detlnuo opinion
of Rome and ot Paul. Kach word has
been weighed. Rome stood on her seven
bills the queen of pride nnd paganism.
Paul Is rot blind to tbo splendor of
Romo. Rut sin nnd judgment hold his
vision. Within Its cloud-capped towers
and gorgeous palaces, he sees corruption,
nnd over them the storm of Justice gath
ers. To him tho whole world Is reeling
guilty onward toward tho Judgment seat
of Christ.
If I were to roduco to a thcina this
picture of Paul In Rome, I would call It
the audacity of tho Gospel. Some ono has
called the Gos'iel a great Impertinence.
It Is not that, for It has a right to. tho
world. Tho Gospel Is nnver Impertinent
for It goes to Its own. Rut it Is gre.it
In daring. Vncon'ei lustiest of Its dlvhm
right and power It enters every danr. It
Is tho citizen of the world. So Puul, the
prisoner of Rome, stood up lr Ids chains
to sav: "As much as In me Is, I ira
ready to preach tho Gospel tJ you that
aro at Rome also."
When we look nt this ple,iiv. there nro
In it, three commanding elements: Tho
world, the Gospel nnd the man. The world
Paul preached In was Rome. As I read
his account of the people, as to their In
dividual character, I perceive they wers
nil comprehended In two words Greek
and Uarbarlans cultured and uncultured.
i
ah 10 iiicir moral character, ono ciusb
comprises -them all, sinners against God,
sinners In various degrees nnd through a
ghastly catalogue, but sinners every ono,
deserving tho righteous Judgment of God.
WORLD ADVANCING.
It Is true thnt for all these centuries
tbo world has been advancing. I bdluvc
In humnn progress. Tho world does not
go round In Its old track, Ncverthrlers
Paul's classification holds good todny.
Pwcep tho horizon of your wlde.it vision.
It Is Greek and liartiarlau stilt, nr.d
when wc study human history and human
hearts wo nro left to say that nftcr the
wonderful progress somo would have us
betlevo has been made, there Is none
righteous, no not one.
'I ho field for Gospel preaching then, Is
practically what It won when Pnul went
to Rome. Rut Paul went to Rome; I find
also, ho went to Athens nnd Corinth
That Is to say, when hn would get a foot
ing for tho Gospel In Kuropo ho went to
thu literary, the commercial nnd mill
tnry centers. I ennnot think ho went to
theso cities by accident. He bad his eve
on them, not because It would bring nny
easier work, for 1 never sought th"
earlest place; hu left small men look
for cosy berths.
Taul was not only nn enthusiast, he
v.'tis a strategist. Ho took in '.be whole
of tho campaign. I.Ike Grant, who
mapped out tbo war, ho centered his
blows on strategic points, so Paul looked
across tho darkness of Kurope, saw three
cities where life was at Its most hopeful
and Its darkest stage; ho saw Athens,
with Its elegant nnd godless religiosity;
Corinth with Its thronging crowds at a
white heat of commercial ambition; Rome
making ronds all over Kuropo and bo
said: "Glvo mo thesa centers for Christ,
nnd they will carry out tbo Gospel to
the pillars of Hercules." And Paul was
right.
Does some sylvan philosopher any
"Cities have loMt their pre-eminence :
they no longer monopolize tho culture
or brains of tho continent." Thero mnv
bo somo truth In tho statement, never
theless, cities today as In tbo Rompn
emplro are the controlling nnd piopclllng
force of jsorltty. Tho heart Is a great
pump. Cities aro the heart of the nn
tlon. All roads went from nome ns well
as to It.
Tho city gathers up the nverngo life of
tho nation and flings It abroad. Hero
nro the mill rnces. Into them como tho
leisurely streams from field and forest.
In their compression they are shot w'nlto
nnd quivering ngalnst tho wheels that
grinds the nation's grist.
After Rome came ConstnnMnople, tho
gate-way of the east, and Alexandria, the
gateway of tho south. And later, whn
Kurope was to be awakened from her
long sleep, it was from Geneva Hint tho
Alps heard the reformation cry.
I think the demand for city rvnnRcMsrn
tlon more exigent today than It was In
tho days of Paul. Tho strcnmi of llfo
of this continent are tending towards
cities at n tremendous rate, gathering at
oneo the elements of power nnd peril.
Thero Is tho energy to lift us up, and
there Is also the dynamite to blow us up.

LARGU C1TIKS VICIOUS.
It Is In our large cities that tho rats
of social vlco and business vlco are
swarming llko vermin. Let us not do
celvo ourselves, Tho gospel In tho city
docs not mean merely lino churches on
line avenues.
If It does, tho downfall ot churihly
Romo may bo ours. Paul's conception of
tho gospel carried It equally to tho sluvo
In the uuarrv and tho Caesar on tho
throne. And wo will bo truo to tho gen
ius of tho gospel when wo havo courngo
and faith to mutch It against the saddest
nnd tho worst: to carry It to tho pur
llnes ot vlco and tho dens of Infamy, and
say, hero Is liberty for every captive.com
fort In every sorrow, nnd hopo for tho
hopeless.
As to tho messngo I'aul brought to
Romo during those years that ho dwelt
In his own hired house, those sermons
belong to tho silences of Scripture. Hut
knowing tho man wo may havo an Idea
of his messago to the gay and dlssolulo
city. Wo can Imagine how ho almost
broke h!shcnrt over them, nnd with what
pathos and ringing logic ho must havo
arraigned them for their sins and of
fered them the Savior.
We havo also his letter to tho Romans.
That gives us tho messago of his lov
ing voice. I bellevo Paul's method of
saving men must bo ours. Tho Gospel be
preached must bo the message for today.
His messago was a truth-telling nbout
their condition. In theso days or rose
leaves and roso water prenchlng we
would call It severe. It would bo too
plain for pollto cars.
It was a terrific cataloguo of sins nnd
crimes of which the Romans were guilty.
It Is nn Indictment to bo guilty of that
which brings the suro Judgmcht of jus
tice. Pnul, over these crying sins, erected
tho whlto throne of God, assuring them
that Jew and Gentile fell equally under
Its condemnation. Again his gospel wns
a revelation of hope even for desperate
sinners through faith In a redeemer.
Over ngalnst the Ebnl of their crimes ho
thrusts Into view tho gerlztm of hope.
It ns much ns In mo lies." He felt a
sense of limitation, he felt that tho Gos
pel would Hud 11 severe limit in his llttlo
capacity. Rut ho would do the best he
could.
"Who can preach the Gospel?" We
only preach as much ns Is in us. Wo can
only preach what wo feel nnd know. Rut
with all tho limitations connected with
It, It is tho law of Christ that the Gos
pel must como as a sacrifice. The shadow
of Calvary must bo on every pulpit lloor.
So the very weakness or man becomes
the power of God. Slnco tho Gospel Is
not only a messago, but a life. It must
como to us along tho lino ot human con
ditions. When Lincoln set tho slaves
free ho Just wroto a proclamation, back
ed It with battalions, and tho chains fell
from three million slaves.
If salvation wero from that kind of
bnndago tho disabilities of which could
bo removed by nn announcement, I think
God could dip tho pen of His lovo In the
stnr mist of tho universe, writo across
tbo firmament In starry letters, "Salva
tion." back up Ills writing with angel
battalions, nnd drlvo Baton Into bell and
lift His sulnts Into heaven.

BLESSEDNESS EQUAL.
And the blessedness was always equally
for the Jew and Gentile. In graphic pic
turing bo shows tho body of death the
carnnl life and tho chains that bind tho
man, as face to face against that corpse,
until he Is forced to cry ns In hopeless
agony, "Who shall deliver me from the
body of this death." Then, as If getting
a sudden Hash of Christ's delivering hand,
his moans bum Into triumph. "I thank
God through Jesus Christ our Lord," and
then ho lifts their thoughts nbovo them
selvescarries them as on eagle's wing
upward aboo their sins.
No condemnation Is tho bound with
which ho springs upward. Ho sees even
tho sorrows around strangely transfigur
ed, tho very suffering of this world be
coming evidences of npproaclunK glory.
And so ho rises on through that eighth
chapter of Romans the sunlit summit or
tho word of God. Tho very gates of
heaven seem to burst open beforo his
triumphal cry.
I am pemindcd that neither death nor
life nor nngcl shall bo ablo to separate
mo from the love of God which Is In
Christ Jesus. Ills Gospel Is llko a rising
stairway of truth, fairer than pentello
marble, leading from ruin, through
righteousness to redemption.
I have said Paul was an orator moro
than a peer of Cicero, but his messago
was not depending on elocution for power,
but by tho majesty and power of the
truth delivered by n soul on fire. His
words wero mighty only through God.
Glance a moment Into tho Judgment hall
at Caesarea. There ho stands, nothing
commanding In his personal appcaranco.
Agrlppa Is beforo him. Hear him ns ho
makes his masterly defence, thero is
something In the courngo and tho weight
ot his words which holds the audience
spellbound.
IN RESTLESS CHARGE.
At his words Fostus bursts forth In a
restless charge of madness. Tho steady
current of Paul's speech resumes Its
power till It crashes In a cllmaterlo peal
against tho heart of Agrlppa In the
startling question, "Rellovest thou the
prophets?" nnd tho responso follows,
"Thou persuaded me almost to be a
Christian " Once moro Paul stills tho
tumult by tho clnnk of tho chntn on his
wrist ns holding them up uloft ho ex
claims, "Would to God thou wert almost
and nil together, such as I, except theso
bonds."
I trace his power not to self-assertion,
not to lino words or style, but to his
theme and his nlm. His theme was Jesus
Christ. hU aim was to know nothing
else nmong men. This brings mo to the
last thought. From tho message wo como
to the man. "As much as In mo Is," Paul
says.
Wo sometimes wonder why God did
not announce tho Gospel by tho blast of
Gabriel's trumpet. Why did ho not send
his messngo by swift-footed or swlu
wlnged splilts from tho throne. Tho Go...
pel to reach a man, must llrst bo In a
man not a trumpet, though It wero Ga
briel's, but a human heart, though It
wero n stammering and breaking one.
Tho Gospel must como from Qod to men
through forgiven souls, however weak
they may be. Taul hays, "I will preach
