Subject: Pilate’s Question—~Lessons Drawn From His Failure to Seize Salvation— In Sight of the Kingdom of God, Re- fused to Enter It. NEW York Crry.—The following sermon i8 one prepared fer publication by the Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, America’s best-known evangelist, who is now preaching to over- flowing congregations in this city. It is en- titled “Pilate’s Question,” and is founded on the text, Matt. xxvii, 22: “What shall T do then with Jesus which is called Christ?” It would not be possible for us either to understand or appreciate this passage of Scripture without studying that which im- mediately precedes it, and likewise that which follows. Next to Jesus Himself the important character on the scene is Pilate, who asked the above question. One never thinks of him without a shud- der, because he is one of the men who came so very near to entering the kingdom of God, and yet, after all, miserably failed. He came very near taking his place with Joseph of Arimathaea and with Nicode- mus. If, when he knew that Jesus was the Son of God, he had bared his own back to the 'smiters, or had gone himself to be crucified, there would have been mo name in the early history of the church to outshine his. But instead of being in the presence of God to-day, he is undoubt- edly in the lost world. en Jesus passed by the cross and went through the tomb of Joseph of Ari- mathaea, and made His way to the place of ascension, not far from Bethany, and left His wondering disciples, He took with Him into the skies His hands that had been pierced, His feet, through which the nails torn their way, His side, thrust through with the spear, and against which the beloved disciple had leaned. In a word, He took with Him His body. But there was one thing He left; when hang- ing on the cross, from His head, His hands, His feet and His broken heart the blood came trickling down, and not only stained the rocks upon Calvary, but left its mark upon the world as well, and leaving His blood there, the world is to-day responsible for it. That same blood is upon both the world and men, either for their condemna- tion or for redemption. In a remarkable book which came across the seas some years ago, bearing the title of “Letters From Heli,” and having an in- troduction by George MacDonald, the cele- brated Scotch preacher, there is a story of Pilate in the lost world stooping down to wash his hands in a running stream. He keeps on, it would seem, almost for ages, if time were measured as in this world. Some one touches him and says: “Pilate, what are you doing?” Lifting his hands, which become red like crimson as soon as they leave the water, he cries out with a shriek, which echoes and re-echoes throughout the world of the st: “Will they never be: clean! Will they never be clean!” Poor Pilate! they never will, for the blood of the Son of God is on them for condemnation forever. He began to wash + his hands when he said to the angry mob: “Take ye Him. and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.” He 1s still washing his hands to-day, but in vain. There are special ‘ways of treating texts of Scripture, one of the easiest of which is to take certain words in the verse and em- phasize them, and make each word define the outdine of the sermon. My text can be treated in this way, and the first word to emphasize would be, “WHAT.” Reading the text with this in mind we find it saying: “What shall I do then with Jesus?” The inference is we must do something. We can not be indifferent. The man who says that he will not accept Christ, neither will he reject Him, has rejected Him in the very position he takes. There is no middle ground inthis matter. We are either for Christ or against Him, and we must decide which position it shall be. « The next words to emphasize would be “SHATIL I DO.” The particular part of the expression jn is emphatic is the personal pronoun Religion is a very personal matter, and judgment will be, too. There is no one whose eyes shall light upon this printed word but who shall one day be called to an account for his rejection of the Son of God if he fails to acknowledge Him before men. Rich and poor, high and low, wise and ignorant, for all comes the question, *What shall I do?” he next Spindle wore would be It might be used in two ways. We have made a choice between two things, and choosing one then it naturally follows that we must do something with the other. It is easy to understand that choosing one implies the rejection of the other. But it might also be taken as a word describing some future time, and I would like to have it mean, “What shall I do in the day of judgment with Jesus Christ?” When the moon shall be turned into blood and the sun shall be black as the sackcloth of hair, when the “elements shall melt with the fervent heat” — ‘What shall IT do then?’ In the sixth chapter of Revelation we read that in the last day men shall ery out and say to the rocks and hills: “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sit- teth upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come. and who shall be able to stand?” But in the closing part of Reve- lation we are tpld that there will be no rocks and no hills to fall upon the lost and shut out the vision of the face of the Son of God, and they must see Him whether Shey will or not, Him whom they have re- jected, Him from svhom they have deliber- ately turned away. The next emphatic word is the name Jesus. “What shall I do then WITH JESUS?” That was His earthly name, and de- scribed His earthly life.” “Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His peo- ple from their sins,” and His earthly life came to its climax in His sacrificial death upon the cross. To pay the penalty of sin His life was given up, and if we fail to ac- cept Him as a personal Saviour, we delib- erately take- our stand with those who have nailed Him to the cross. When we stand before God we shall be called to an account for this chiefest of all sins. For to eject the Son of God is to crucify Him afresh. The last word to emphasize would be His anointed name, EN is ““ IST.” As Christ He stands at the right hand of God, our Mediator and Advocate. For fear that some one should say, “If T should become a Christian, I could not hold out,” God seems to sweep away every false argu- ment and false hope when He tells us that accepted Him as Jesus, He becomes Christ for us, and takes His stand at God’s right hand, pleading for us in our weakness, and ever bringing to God’s re- membrance His atoning, death, that our many sins may be washed away and for- gotten. Buf another outline has also been sug- gested as being a proper one to grow out of this text. The Rev. R. A. Torrey has made the suggestion that there are certain things that naturally depend upon what we do with Jesus. Of these I make brief mention. Our acceptance before God depends upon what we do with Jesus. “He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned al- ready, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of (God.” John iii: 18. world accepting Christ is immediately ac- cepted of God. The most upright man re- jecting Christ 4s instantly rejected of God. he moment we accept we are justified from all things from which we could not be justified by the law of Moses; and jus- tification is more than pardon, for in par- don there may still be the memory of sin, but when God justifies He “remembers against us our transgressions no more for- ever.” II. Our becoming sons of God depends upon what we do with Jesus. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” John iz 12. There is a very insidious kind of heresy making its way through the world to-day, which declares there is such a thing as the universal fatherhood of God and the uni- versal brotherhood of man; that God is the father of all His creatures. and that evry man is my brother. This is certainly con- trary to the Scriptures. We become sons of God, not by the lives we live, nor by doing good, nor by reading the Bible, nor by praying without ceasing, but we become God’s sons by regeneration. This is the work of the Holy Ghost, and is wrought in us the very'moment we by faith accept Jesus Christ as a Saviour. It is not possi- ble for us in any other way to come into this world than to be born into it; it is not possible for us ever to enter the king- dom of God except by the new birth. This constitutes us children of God. ITI. Our having peace depends upon what we do with Jesus Christ. “Theve- fore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans v: 1. When we remember that peace is the cp- posite of confusion, of strife, of unrest, we are able to see how great is the blessing which comes to us by the acceptance of God’s Son. We do not think of peace as simply an emotion. It is not an experiencz, but it is that which comes to us with the presence of Christ. He is our peace, and whatever may be a man’s position in the world, if he has rejected Christ, or (in other words) if he has failed to accept Him, he ‘must go forever throughout the world crying, “peace, peace,” but for him there can be no peace. : ; IV. Our having joy depends upon what we do with Christ. “Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye sce Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and Sr of glory.” 1 eter i: 8. We also remember the words of Jesus when He said: “These Words have I spoken unto you that My joy right re- pag in you, and that your joy might be ull. Joy is better than happiness. People of the world may have hapniness, but only God’s children possess joy. Happiness is that which happens to come to us, and those who lay Fold upon it are dependent upon their circumstances and surroundings. Joy has nothing to do with circumstance or surroundings, but comes to us because of our faith in Him who ever lives to pour out upon His people His own presence and blessing. V. Our having eternal life depends upon what we do with Jesus. “He that believ- eth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John iii: 36. By nature we have the flesh with us, and we shall always have it with us until our redemption bodies are bestowed upon us. It is natural therefore that there should be a constant warring between the life of God which comes in regeneration and the old nature which is at enmity with God and always must be, but it is a great joy to know that we may every one of us so sur- render ourselves to Mim who is our life that the old nature shall be put down and held in subjection, and we ourselves “be more than conquerors.” Finally, let me sav that there are {hree sentences which ought to be written plain- ly before every one who is to make this de- cision, or who fails to make it. First. We must either accept Fim or re- ject Him. Second. We must either let Him come into our hearts, or we must shut the door and keep Him out. Third. We must either confess Fim or deny Him. ‘Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father which is in heaven; but whosoever shall denv Me before men, him will I deny before My Father which is in heaven.” Matt. x: 32, 33. There is no middle ground. God pity us if to-day we turn away from Him. for IT MAY BE THE LAST TIME! The Need of Tenderness. The grace of tenderness, for it is a grace, should be cultivated for its own sake as well as its invaluable aid in our service for the Master. True tenderness modulates the voice, illuminates the face and presents the word of life in a spirit of gentleness, which wins a hearing for even unwelcome truths. The world is in need of just such tenderhess as was manifested by our Lord, and we as His disciples can render no bet- ter service to Him than reflecting His ten- der sympathy as we pass along life’s jour- ney. People long for tenderness. Harsh meas- ures never won a soul to higher things. Sympathy is the magic key by which we may gain access to hungry, aching hearts. Tenderness may be developed by studying the character of our Master. He recog- nized the innerriost longings of weary mankind, and met this yearning with infi- nite tenderness and pity. Surely we as His followers should imitate Him to the best of our ability along this line. Let us de- termine by the help of the Holy Spirit never to be betrayed into harshness. The world is hard and cold enough without vou and I adding to its burden. Rather let us seek by tenderness and sympathy to aid some soul to reach a firmer foundation, and bring joy and peace to some little cor. ner of earth.—George D. Gelwicks. Good Cheer in Religion. It is a happy thing to live. It is a happy thing to ‘die. Our religion has the promise of the life that now is and also of that which is to come. It makes the world ours and all things in it. We re- joice in its beauty and its joys, the laugh- ter of little children, the love of young men and maidens, the grave friendship of the old, the confidence of life and the calm and trust which belong to us all. Our religion now tells us to look upon these and all the beautiful things of fie, and to take them, holding them in holi- ness as the happy gifts of our glad Cod. And, above all these, and in all these, Christ is now revealed io us. He was and He will be. Yea, and He is. No other day ever set Him so high or loved Him so dearly. To be sure, there is enough that is dark still, and the shadows could be drawn heavily, sadly, but this hour let us see the sunshine and play in it. The Lord Christ! He is the good cheer of religion to-day, as He has been in all days. If our good cheer is better and cheerier than any of old, it is because we see Him more clear- ly and love Him more dearly because we have gone a little further in making our ifs His and Him our life.’ —Congregation- alist. Rewards of Life. The man who sees in life the oppor. tunity to express himself in the largest terms, who after ascertaining what fac- ulties he has determines to develop them to the highest possibla etliciency, who is capable of seeing the sweetness and joy that lie all about him, who, being proud, does not allow his body or mind to pe defiled, he is the one who obtains the big rewards, the big = successes.—Mental Growth and Control, Fire-Proof Cement. A mixture of white of eggs, cheese and quicklime will make a cement which, when thoroughly dry, will stand both fire and water. Cretonne Appliques. Appliques cut from cretonne on moire goods, in very attractive shades of old rose, blue and green, are among the newest: and smartest hangings. Either to form a border all around or in a medallion or Empire wreath in the upper centre of the curtain. Exquisite Table Coverings. The most exquisite table coverings this season are made of sheepskin. Three lovely ones recently seen were made of leather, one of soft old reed, another Nile green and a third mode color. The skins are pierced along the ends and are laced together by means of narrow strips of the material, making a very ornamental joining. Household Sanitation. In housecleaning the intelligent woman of to-day is not content with scrubbing, sweeping and dusting, with even to snowy whiteness. She knows that cleanliness does not Consist in these things alond. In the new light of science housecleaning means the actual, as well as the apparent, clean- ing of the house. It means household sanitation, the application of knowl- edge and science to the purification of the home from all impurities seen and unseen, from subtle, dangerous germs that affect the health as well as from more apparent uncleanliness, which is simply matter out of place and comparatively harmless.—New York Tribune. Cleaning Gloves With Naphtha. A way to clean gloves with naphtha is highly recommended by those who have tried it. Till a wide-mouthed bottle or small jar with naphtha and Leave for forty-eight hours, shaking perhaps once or twice gently, then take out the gloves and hang in the air. The odor of the naphtha disappears as quickly after this long bath as when the liquid is applied less generously with a bit of silk. As no rubbing of the glove is needed, the objectionable streaks left sometimes after rubbing are done away with and, most im- portant of all, the absence of all fric- tion during the operation lessens any dangerous possibilities in the use of this easily exploded liquid.-—-New York Post. . —— ————— Wall Paper Don’ts. Don’t have the woodwork of a room painted two colors, or even two shades of one color. One plain color is much more artistic. As a rule, white paint is far better than any other. It can always be made to look fresh and clean if it is washed with soap and water, and will keep in good condition for many years if the final coat is of a good ivory enamel. But when it does grow shabby it is a very easy matter to give it one fresh coat if it is white. With colored paint there is often a great difficulty in matching the shade. The only other color which is uni- versally useful for woodwork is brown. This can well be used for halls or dining rooms in a tint of oak, wma- bogany or walnut. Don’t put a cheap wall paper in a bath room. It should be a thick, sani- tary paper, highly glazed, and ought to have a final coat of clear varnish « when it is on the wall. A thin, un- glazed paper peels off and gets quite discolored in a few months with the Steam arising from the hot water. A washable distemper is excellent for coloring the walls of bath rooms.— Home Chat.

The United States Geological Sur vey is systematically measuring the streams of the Western country and forming plans for utilizing the water supply of arid and semi-arid regions. A recent report from Kansas shows that the supply from the streams of that State is ample for a large popula- tion. The Smoky Hill, a smail stream, would supply 75,000 people; the Verdi- gris, 215,000; the S lomon, 240,000; the Neosho, 750,000: the Repuslican, 2,000,000—and this at the lowest stages of water. If storage reser- voirs were constructed to impound the flood waters the supply would support a much greater population, and wonld enable the water to be distributed at the times when it is most needed by crops. A systematic exploitation of our water supply by the government would be a guarantee of viosperity for the century to come. Oldest Organ in America.
