Yn ‘Otho F. Rarth- olow, pa stor of the Janes M. E. Church, preached Sunday ‘on “The Limitations It is ban to conceive how the glow- ing and comprehensiv: :atements of the first three chapters of Paul's Epis- tle *o the Colic :iams could be rein- forced. Each sentence is so full of divine truth, it fairly overflows with its Chrisuy abundance. Yet with the words of our text Paul » id most posi- tively and b--~utifallr reinforce every other sentence of this intensely spir- itual epistle. He did it in that charm- ingly inferential way that added the warmth of the heart to the .purely logical statements of the mind, In writ- ing to the Colossians of Christ's divin- ity and of the complete and joyou loyalty every soul: ‘should render to Him, Paul in the few words of our text delicately refers to the example found in his own experience. ‘‘Remember my bonds.” This was an infusion of experience to all the preceding pre- cepts that developed an incalculable force in that unlimited element of sympathy which were at once opera- tive. Paul had no intention of glorifying himself or his sufferings, neither did ‘he sentimentally long for human com- fort. This very brief allusion to him- self in our text was but to strengthen and confirm that feeling which would exalt and glorify Christ Jesus the Lord. What Christian. in Colosse could have read or heard Paul's letter and not have felt Then, he came to the words, “Remembér" bonds,” ‘this man writes out of es experience and of what he knows—not like so many of the religionists ° and ~ philosophers of that time’ out’of "his imaginations and dreams. Yet another inference is ‘contained in out text, It is that which-emphasizes the fact of life’s limitation. In writ- ing his advices and directions to the Colossians Paul did the very best his position would allow him to do. He wished and prayed to do more. That more was to be with them in person, N personal effort for Christ ‘and His kingdom. ‘Over against this wish, this desire, this prayer, was his physi- cal imprisonment—a limitation. - Paui was chained. The things he would do he could not do. The fact of life’s limitafion, its rec- ognition and resolution are suggestively presented in these words of the heart. The fact of limitation is apparent everywhere, in everything and every- person. Go to the uttermost bound- aries of space—to the sun and “stars, limitations are there, their boundaries are fixed that they cannot pass. Grav- itation, chemical affinity ' and other agents of law bind thém with invisi- + As with these mighty spheres, so with the. tini- est atom; the plane of activity and ex- pression is fixed. The reign of law marks insuperable barriers. In persons as well as in things the fact of limitation ‘is strikingly mani- fest. The body in which we live is clearly confined in bonds. Each body ‘has an amount of nervous and muscu- lar energy ‘which limits all that may be received or given. - The bonds of place and: heredity bind each man to a | very narrow ,zone of physical and mental aetivity. That a man is what ‘he eats and where he lives is a certain degree manifestly rue. . .. _ The spiritual in man is limited in all its expression and life by the pres- ence of the carnal. Paul’s pathetic “0, wretched man that I am; ho shall deliver me from the body of this death?’ is applicable to all the children of Adam’s race. These dis- tinctions. are the marks of a general limitation, the-bonds that all men in their investigations - and experience must ‘renidmper because they are of themselves. Within the general limit- ations there are: special aad, personal limitations. Mental endowments, dis- ‘position, ‘health and grace are largely vidual bonds that cannot be passed. The nervous prostratiens,-the brain fag, the strokes of apoplexy, the creep- ing lassitudes that seize so many, of our bright and -energetic people are in a great” 1ajority of instances but evi- dences of failure-to:know or remember the. physical. apd. mental. limitations to which life.is conditioned. Failure to record and recognize per- sonal limitations and to be directed by ter in our service to Christ, but oft- times the essential breaking of the moral law. Our fathers were actus- tomed to keep the commandments, to worship Ged .and reverence His day by preparing hours in advance for that most solemn. and imperative duty. it was, in the. thought of our Puritan _ ancestors, essential, to the real. keep- _ force our duty to-God. They had a fine recognition of the limitations in- herent in the body. Their preparation £or the Lord’s day was a ‘remembrance . It is. only the fashion in religious practices -of these fathers of sour country... With all.of which ridi- to believe that our ‘grip on God, for loyalty to Christ and His law "they continue to be the most inspiring and helpful examples. They certainly shed ‘a helpful light concerning the meeting of limitations in the keeping of those commandments that refer to God and His day. They made religion a life and found dalight in it, largely because they re- membered their limitations. They re- fused to rob God by allowing ' the world and its activities to so rush in upon them during six days that there was nothing for the Sabbath but physi- cal weariness and -dullness. In yet another relation it is imperative that we remember our own and others’ lim- jtations. In rélation to others we should be quick to ask: Are we un- derstood and do we understand? Believing . fully’ that ~very man is more than anything he does or says, we are led to believe that all avenues Tf nighly intelectual, .and self. ‘svhich required ever and always o | degree - timited and’ imcomplete—are in bonds.” ‘Every man bas in Him a best and. a worst, neitlier of which fairly represents him, Many,’ owever, are to them final frim their ‘experi- cnce of one or the other phase of life. When 1. read Cardinal’ Newman's “Lead, Kindly Light,” I think of a devout and chari- table character. On the other hand, when I read his ‘bigoted and narrow estimate of ..rius, especially his” state- ment -“that a publisher of heresy to Lis religious denomination), should ‘be treated as if ke were embodied evil”. I, think naturally of a narrow, unsympathetic and bigoted man. - It is very evidentithat any. fair estimate ‘of the cardinal as a- character cannot be obtained from either or both of these writings: He had his limitations. They must be remembered. Not until they are estimated-can there be a substan- | tial understanding of u.e person back of the utterances. But .are we understood? We, too," commonly assume thr: we are. Think- ing we fully understand wuat we say and mean, we naturally infer: that others do. But do wey?" “Oh, the trouble, the heartaches, the disasters’ and the deaths to happiness and peace dé that have come to this old world sim- ply because people have not understood* one another,” exclaims the writer of an hundred years ago. Human na- ture has naturally changed since that day. An appeal to ‘experience must convince even the most superficial ob- server that this is deeply true, even in the everyday experience of life. Ac- knowledging the fact or umitation and realizing its force in life, we find the" only sure approach to its resolution is in the Christ of Paul. ’ Our Saviour entered our limitations. He took upon Himself the form of a servant; He became obedient to death, even the death of the cross; He emp- tied Himself; He was in all points tempted as are we, He remembered’ our bonds. Limitation itself brought trophies to His feet. Christ made it minister to His eternal glory by living: (1) The simple life—a life of fore- thought and order. no trespassing of body upon mind, or mind upon spirit. Each was kept to its sphere. There was in His soul no conflict in the duties owed God; man’ The temptation in the wilderness is'a perfect presentation of His clear and- simple recognition of these duties that leaves no confusion in the mind of the disciple. In Christ was no haste, no confusion whatever. He had for each .and everything the full measure of its claim. . In His. speech He gave line upon line, precept upcn precept. He did nothing in secret. ..(2) The. chari- table life. Christ ever made allow- ance in all human equations for the elements of ignorance, inheritance and condition. He remembered the bonds of men, their limitations. . Thus we" find Him. dealing with the: individual | as the wise and loving parent does] with’ the child, as the teacher with the pupil. . He built on that best possible. interpretation of each man’s nature, S a com- plete knowledge of limitations, He healed some in public because their bonds would stand ‘it; others He withdrew to the quiet place alone. He recognized conditions best for the in- dividual. When two of His favored disciples desired to ‘burn those men whom they judged heretics; when Pet: | er followed afar off and at last alto- gether denied Him, with what’ div ine, consideration He remembered their limitations and forgave them! With’ Christ there was: neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision or uncircumecision. Barbarian, Scy thian, bond nor free, be- cause His charity understood and eliminated all differences that. such dis-. tinctions implied. : " (3) The triumphant life..: [sCRfist saw the crown aboveithe cross, life beyond death and lived in them. Hope, with all its expectancies, was His. the morning when it was midnight. He: knew -the Father knew. phant life of Christ was lived for us, and so wvelame vicarious. We could, not live it ourselves, because of an un, natural bondage—the awful bondage of sin. «'hrist, however, .ives it for us, and shares it with us, making it possible for us to have His simple? loving and triumphant life. “I live, yet not I but Christ liveth in ie.” Oh, what comfort there is to the poor, wounded heart that is struggling to do dts best against sin and trial in the narrow straits of life to say and realize; “He remembers my bonds.” He took them upon Himself. Simple faith in this truth brings relief and ultimate: triump’. This gracious truth sugests: another .limitatien .that we. speak of. with profoundest reverence: the: dimit- ation of God Himself in the miftter of bestowing pardon; peace and love upon the heart. of man.” God has, according to the revelation ¥e has given us, lind- its that He cannot pass in the salva- tion of man. The salvation in Christ marks the boundaries of God's ability to save the human soul. God cannot force the soul's will to accept of His Son for salvation. presents Him with all love } for He will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Beyond this He cannot go. God is bound vy His gift of free wild. Christ the Ged cried: "I would but ye would not.” " May God help all of us to ‘recog- nize and act vpon the limitations to which God has committed us. Strength For To-Day. God promises strength to enable us to do our present duty. If we believe that, and act accordingly, we shall never, never fail. “As thy; days, so shall thy’ strength be.” That is the promise—a promise that never fails. Yesterday has gone, not to return. To- morrow has not come to us, and it may never come. To-day is our day, and it is the oniy portion of time that is. Men who regret that they did not do their work of yesterday, lose their pres- ent time because they are not giving their whole strength to it. Men who fear that they will not be able to do to-morrow’s work are. losing to-day, and are not getting ready for to-mor- row. God does not promisé strength for yesterday which is gone; nor for to-morrow which may never come, but for to-day, which is here. Let us therefore, trust, and use, while we have it, « »d’s promised strength for to-day. “Sufncient unto the day id the evil (and the good) thereof.”— Sunday School Times.
