AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. DAVID J. BURRELL. Theme: The Christian and His Bible. New York City.—The sermon preached Sunday night in the Marble Collegiate Church, Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, Manhattan, was by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. David James Burrell. His subject was: “The Christian and His Bible.” The text was from II. Timothy 3:14-1T7: “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and that from the child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is.given by in- spiration of God, and is: profitable’ for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thor- oughly furnished unto’ all good works.” Dr. Burrell said: There was trouble in Ephesus. The church there had fallen on “perilous times.” False teachers had crept in and were leading away all such as had “itching ears.” Paul, the founder and former pas- tor of the church in that city, writes to Timothy, his successor, exhorting him to continue in the truth; and he suggests as a sure safeguard, for him- self and his people, a profound loy- alty.to the Scriptures as the word of God. He reminds the young pastor that he had learned the Scriptures in his childhood. In his old home at Derbe his mother Eunice and his grand- mother Lois had instructed him. Blessed is the man or woman who can look back to such training as this! The father of John Stewart Mill declined to teach religion to his son; the father of David Livingstone required his son to commit the One Hundred and Nineteenth Psalm to memory and take the Scriptures to be “a lamp unto his path; ” and the dif- ference is manifest in the life and character of these men. Paul reminds Timothy also that the Scriptures had made him “wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ.” No man can search the Scriptures without finding two things, namely, Christ and Life; as our Lord said, “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and those are they which testify of Me.” This youth had found Christ in the pages of the Book and, accept- ing Christ, had been saved by faith in Him. Paul assumes, furthermore, that Timothy, as a “man of God,” must be true to the Scriptures. This ought to go without saying, since “men of God,” in or out of the ministry, are in covenant bonds to be loyal to it. The question now arises, “What shall a Christian do with his Bible?” Shall he be satisfied with merely reading. it? Is it enough for him to talk about it? Shall he approach it in a critical spirit, with the purpose of finding fault with it? If so, he must not expect to find much that is “profitable” in it. In one of Krummacher’s fables he tells of a society of learned men who resolved to make a voyage to investi- gate the properties of the magnetic needle. The ship being ready to sail, they went aboard and, placing a mar- iner’s compass in their midst, sat down to observe and scrutinize it. Thus they sailed to and fro, watching the needle and each advancing and defending his own theory as to the secret power which moved it. At length there was a violent crash; the ship had struck upon-a rock, and the waves rushed in. Then those learned men, all seized with terror, leaped overboard and swam ashore. And, sitting there on the barren rocks, they lamented one to another that there was no dependence to be placed on the magnetic needle! For a like reason there are “bibli- cal experts” who can see no profita- bleness in Scripture; but there are others who search as for hidden treasure and find in these pages the unspeakable gift of life. The man who reads, ponders and inwardly digests will find that the Word is profitable, particularly in these four ways: First, “for doctrine.” faith it serves, like the mariner’s chart, to sail by. It tells us what we are to believe as to spiritual things; and truth is the basis of life and As a rule of just above the elbow. Coral is more popular than it has been for many seasons.

There are black patent leather slip- 1 pers with a tiny border of pink, blue, white or lilac suede around the top. Spangled opera bags, in flame color, and a deep luminous blue, and lined with heavy silk, are very popu- lar. Contrary to expectation, white slip- pers have not gone out of fashion, but are being worn almost as much as ever. The vogue for buttons as trimming is so great that they are beginning to be conspicuous for their absence from exclusive models. In harmony with the tendency to- ward tall, slender effects, the deep, character. For “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” One of the singular characteristics of the Bible is this: Of all ihe so- called “sacred books” it alone pre- sents a multiplicity of truths which can be arranged into a harmonious system. Who ever heard of the Mos- lem system of theology? Or of the Buddhist system of doctrine? The other religions make no pretense of presenting a consistent creed, but the truths of the Scripture are like pearls, which can be strung upon a necklace, having for its central gem this saying: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlast- ing life.” Another singular characteristic of the Bible is, that all its truths are set forth under a divine seal of au- thority. All are not equally “profita- bile,” since it is not'so important, for example, that we should know about the birth of John the Baptist as it is that we should know that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, but all its truths are equally authoritative, since all alike were “written by holy men as they were moved by the Spirit of God.” The entire Book is signed and sealed with a “Thus saith the Lord.” The quest of truth was set forth by the ancient Greeks in the story of Jason and the Argonauts, who set forth in the good ship Argo to find the golden fleece. It would have been a vain quest, despite the fact that Hercules and Orpheus, with his lyre, of this season’s modes.

Somewhere among the isl- ands of the Hesperides? That was all too vague. But Colchis, just there, and nowhere clse, was their | destinatior. Thither they sailed, found the fleece, brought it and and not = .ingly. where shall we search for it? There must be some place of authority whither we can go with an assurance of finding it. To wander about among the islands of the Hesperides. guided by nothing more trustworthy than opinion and guess work, doubt- ing and wondering. with the rocks and forests as our farthest horizons. this is to pursue a vain and hopeless quest. And little wonder if we are lost in doubt and perplexity. To our cry “Where is truth?” the echoes an- swer, mockingly, “What is truth?” But the Christian takes up his Bible, opens it, and lo, from every page there comes a voice, “I am the truth.” If, then, a man would be a believer, perpetual doubter; if he would rest on authority and not on mere opinion, let him search the Scriptures, for : ‘This is the judge.that ends the strife When wit and wisdom fail, Our guide to everlasting life, Through all the gloomy vale Second. The Scriptures are profita- ble “for reproof.” They answer the same purpose that the North Star does when tine ship gets out of her course. Only a “dead reckoning’ is possible without it. The man who follows his own de- vices and knows no other or better standard of truth than can be found in his inner consciousness must not be surprised if he loses his bearings as to the great problems of life. What do you believe about God? Or about Christ? Or about Revelations? Or about the Atonement? Or about Justification by Faith? Or about Heaven and Hell? If you have no Bible, you are at liberty to say, “My opinion is thus and so,” but if you are a Christian and have taken the Bible as your rule of faith, you are bound to say, “I have found it written thus and so in the Word of God.” Our faith as Christians is not a matter of hearsay or personal opin- ion, but of authority. “And the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, saying, ‘Who is it that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man, for I will demand of thee, and answer thou Me!’ ” So speaks the Infinite to the man whose breath is in his nos- trils, “Be still and know that I am God.” Third. The Scriptures are profita- ble “for correction.” The sailor who is in doubt as to his whereabouts, gets his latitude and longitude by the use of his quadrant and steers accord- So does the Christian search the Scripture, and, on finding himself wrong, makes haste tc return to God. In one of the general assemblies of the Church of Scotland the venerable Dr. Erskine sat within the rails and heard, impatiently, a discussion which seemed to him to proceed without due reference to the Scriptures. At length he arose, and with a voice tremulous with age, said, “Moderator, rax me yon Bible, wull ye?” Opening it, he read the prescript, and adding simply, “Thus saith the Lord,” sat down. Bu: that was enough in a Christian assembly; for there the word of the Lord is an end of controversy. “To the law and the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no life in them.” 3 Every man must say: for himself whether he will take the Scriptures to be his guide or lean or his own understanding; but having made the Scriptures his choice, he is bound to live accordingly. » One may go his own gait or let God direct him. In the former case he is not a Christian. In the latter case he is. I know of only these two kinds of people in the world, to wit: Men of God and men without God. Fourth. The Scriptures are profita- ble “for instruction in righteousness.” As a “rule of practice” they are like the rudder of the ship. One of the great words of the Bible is righteousness. It is set forth in two perfect symbols, namely the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, and one perfect Exemplar. The critic has yet to be found who can pick a flaw in the Decalogue; and by common consent Christ is the one ‘immaculate man who has lived in this world of ours. But if we as Christians believe in the Bible, which presents such an ad- mirable code of morals, how is it that there are so many inconsistent pro- fessors among us? taken; we freely acknowledge the justice of it. But in that criticism what a tribute is paid to the morality of the Bible, and to the Christ who perfectly exemplifies it! Behold the Book, how faultless its standards of righteousness! And behold the Man! The world finds “no fault in Him at a = But there is this to be said: The best people are Bible Christians. There is-not one among them who claims perfection; but, taking them by and large, good, bad and indiffer- ent, we do not shrink from a com- parison. Let a thousand of them stand up.in line, and a thousand others who reject or ignore.the Scrip- tures in an opposite line, and we are ready to have the exhibit stand upon its merits. Pam But suppose all Christians did live up to the standard of the Bible, what people they would be! One Man did so once. He “brought the bottom of His life up to the top of His light.” The Bible was His rule of faith and practice, and in His walk and conver- sation He was true to it. And when He hung upon the cross, the soldier in charge of His execution was moved to cry, “Verily, this was a righteous man!” It remains to emphasize the most important point of all, namely, that the Scriptures are profitable to the end that the man of God may be “Thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” It is in the Scriptures that the Christian gets his commission for ser- vice. *“As the Father has sent Me into the world,” said Jesus, “so send I you.” As Christians we are to serve not ourselves but others, to do every- thing to the glory cf God.
