SERMON OP
DRM' LE0D
HIS TOPIC LAST NIGHT WAS
"THE MOTHER OF JESUS."
Because of the Honor Conferred Upon
Her She Hbb Been, nnd She Ever
more Will Be an Object of Sancti
fied Admiration Seems Strange
that Any Intelligent or Devout
Christian Should Allow Tradition
to Take the Place of Bible Truth.
"The Mother of Jesus" wus Rev. Dr.
James McLeod's toplu In the First
Prcsbylerian church last night. The
keynote of tho sermon was struck In
the following utterance:
Hut tho fact lh.it falso toaehcis havo
deltled the Vligln MniT, and tho fact
that tho Evangelical church has rejected
their false doctrine does not waironl any
Christian In thinking less highly of tho
Virgin mother than ho ought to think.
Jf the chinch of Homo thinks too much
of the Blessed Virgin that Is no leasou
why any other chinch should think too
little of her.
Dr. McLeod's text wus taken from
Luke IMG-17: "My sout doth magnify
tho Lord, and my spirit hath lejolced
In God my Savior." "With these woiels,
tho Virgin Mury began to sing her
beautiful hymn of the divine Incarna
tion. The church has been singing this
hymn for nineteen centuries, and she
will continue to sing it until the end ot
lime." Ills sermon follows:
The author ot this hymn, the occasion
of it and tho truths it embodies, occupy
a chief 'place In the history ot redemp
tion. Its author is the most bleosed of wo
men. "Blessed ait thou among women,"
said Gabriel, and tlio virgin's cousin re
echoed the angel's words. So highly fav
ored was the mother of Jesus that heav
en and earth combined to celcbrata her
praise. Because of the honor conferred
upon her, she has been nnd she ever
more will be, an object of sanctified ad
miration. Indeed there aro hosts in
Clitlstondom, who. not content with re
garding her as mi object ot admiration,
havo mado her uu object of udoiatlon.
They bellovo in her "Immaculate Concep
tion" since December Sth, 1S1I, nnd
hence, as far as sin is concerned, they
place her on nn equality with her Divine
Son. She "lejolced in God her Savior,"
but, they say, she did not need a Sav
ior, because sbo was alwaj-s sinless.
Hence, they ha-o contorted upon her
dlvlno names, and titles, and attributes.
They worship her ns tho "Queen of
heaven." and as the "Refuge of Sinners."
Tlios adote her, and pra- unto her mote
frequently than they adore and pray un
to the triune God.
Te Deuni Parodied.
t.. iiAnnr of lior. (lie "Te Deuin" has
i.nft,, .ir.,nitr1 nn,1 turned Into a hvnill
of praise to the virgin. They sing:
"Wo praise the Mother oi ueu. ....
mi ,ii nm-.ia nml nrehaneels. all
thiones and powers do faithfully serve
thee. To thee all angels cry aloud, with
an increasing will. Hols'. Hols', Hols'.
Man-, Mother ot God." Thu. vast mul
,tt.,.iiw nim hnni 41-te Tinme nf Christian.
w oi ship her. They are taught and urged
to pray unto her ami soucn. ncr pumuuhbu
and. to cry unto uer ior neip wuen uu-y
n nt.-nmiiiiiio- iiniler thn shadow of tho
tempter." They aro urged to "go to her
for tho loval Heart or innocence.- unu
ti.m. nvft ns.snred that she will come
quickly to their relier.
This is Marlolatrs'. It has no nuthoilty
either In holy sciipture or In light rea
son. But. nevertheless, multitudes be
lieve in it, and they pour out their
prayers to the blessed virgin with grent
fervor during the "season of Advent."
Now. no intelligent or devout Christian
.ini,A , infvnni- frnm thn bcautv and
purity and blessedness of tho mother of
Jesus; but It does beem serango mai uny
Intelligent or devout cjnnsiian, suoum
allow tradition and unreason to take the
place of Bible truth.
But tho fact that lalso teaeners nave
dollied the Virgin Mars', and tho fact
.I..,- ti TT.'nnn'nllr.nl eliiirnli h.is retected
their false docttine, does not warrant
any Christian in tliinmng less nigniy oc
the Virgin mother than he ought to
think. If the chinch of Rome thinks too
much of the blessed virgin, that is no
reason why any other church should
think too little of her. Yet, in many
Protestant churches, a seimon on tho
Virgin Mars' is quite a novelty. Sermons
on Ruth, nnd Hsther. and Hannah, and
Mttiy of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene,
and on other notable Bible women, are,
by no means, raie: but sermons on tho
mother of Jesus are rather uncommon,
rri.io nnnlit nnt sn In lip. For. truelv
no woman In the bible, no woman in the
hlsloiy of the world, is so notable, nnd
so woithv of our regal d ns is tho moth
er of Jesus. Surely her life and character
ought to suggest themes for many a
tender nnu instructive sermon, jjiesscei.
Indeed, she is above women, and blessed
sho shall be for evermore. Her place In
the history of redemption, Is most hon
orable. What sho anticipated when sho
said: "From henceforth all generations
shall call me blessed." has been verified;
and it will yet bo moio fully realized.
She Did Not Forget.
But. notwithstanding all the honor nnd
all the blessedness that God bestowed
upon her, she did not foigct that she
was a sinner, and that, therefore she
needed a Savior, and hone sho embodied
that fact In her hymn, saying "My spirit
hath rejoiced In God my Savior."
The occasion which called foith her
hymn of pinlbo Is altogether unique.
Nothing llko It had ever occurred, or can
over again ocour. That was the glad
dest, brightest, holiest day the world
had seen, slnco bin had entered Into it.

She knew that her Holy Child was a fin
pcruatural child, and hence she sing her
beautiful hymn of the Dlvlno Incarna
tion. The incarnation of God Is a ms'Mory,
but It Is also a glorious fact. In her ma
jestic hymn, tho mother ot Jesus, speaks
with sublime delicacy and tenderness of
tho part God had chosen her to tuk In
the cairjing out of tho gieat woik of
human redemption. "Ho hath regarded
the low estato of Ills handmaiden. lie
that Is mighty bath done to mo gieat
things, and holy Is Ills name." But
when she contemplated the blessings
which tho eternal Son of God bestowed
upon us all, when "Ho took upon lllm
to deliver man;" and when. In tho ex
cess of His condeccnslon, He "did not
abhor tho virgin's womb," then sho bo
comes ecstatic, and in a burst of in
spired passion, she peers across tho cen
turies and she predicts the conquests and
the glory of that kingdom of which her
Son is the Divine and evet lasting King.
Sho knew, full well, tho meaning of "tho
Dlvlno Incarnation, and when Hho con
templated Its blessed lcsults her soul
magnified tho Lord and her spirit re
joiced In God, her Savior.
And tho Savior's advent, which brought
such joy and gladness to Mary's soul
and spirit, ought to bring Joy and glad
ness to every Christian lteart. The fact
that "Tho Word was mado flesh," Is
causo enough for devout thankfulness
and hols' Jos'.
We cannot explain the mystery of tho
Dlvlno Incarnation, but we can bellevo
it. and wo do believe It with all our
hearts. Wo also know Its object, for the
Bible states It with repealed emphasis,
and with unmistakable clearness.
He Became Man.
Because wo are men, thoicfoio, for us
men, nnd for our salvation, Ho became
man. "Inasmuch then as tho children are.
partakers of flesh and blood, He also
Himself, likewise took part of tho same."
"It Is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus cnme into
the world to save slnueis." This is the
It ut h that makes tho hs'mn of the Incar
nation, the hymn of tho centuries. Tho
incarnation of God is as real and as nec
essars' a fact for our salvation, as It was
for tho salvation of the Virgin Mary. It
had, Indeed, a peculiar interest for her,
because sho was chosen to be the mother
of Christ' human nature, not tho
mother of God. God cannot havo a
mother.
But as truly as Ho was her Savior, so
truls Is He willing and even anxious to
bo our Savior. Ho-bccame man that He
might make an atonement for human
guilt, and all who trust in His Inflluto
merits, and who cling to Him with lov
ing hearts, may rejoice In His salvation.
It is the piivllege of overs saved soul to
repeat the first woids of Mary's hymn
and sas" "Ms soul dotli magnify the
Loid, and my splill hath lejolced In God
my Savior."
