Sermon By Res. j. Todj-On Sunday Rev
J. Todd, formerly OF this city, but now pastor
| of Trinity Methodist church, Philadelphia, de-
livered sermon from the text Of st. Mark,
18th. 18th, bearing most particularly on foreign
missions. He said there are thousands around
lis who ask why all this wsste of money? will
| not the heather be saved in living up to tho re.
ligion he has: and if so, then why send the Cos
pei to him and thus, by increasing his light, add
to his responsibility II Is sometimes asserted
| that the evanglizing of the heather BY increas-
ed light, increases the responsibility thrown
upon them thus making their salvation more
problematic and difficult than easy and there
/ So thap
| swer 10. why spend the money on that which
is questionable when the increased light increa-
ses their responsibility there IL but One answer
| thai must be forever conclusive TO every man
who accepts the gospel Of Christ as the guide OF
lie, and ,lsi is. that Jesus has commanded us
to go into all the world and preach His gospel
| TO every creature. Cur duty in the matter Is
not 10 be determined ny any apparent adyau-
tage to be gained either by ourselves or the nea-
| then. Whether we eau see u reason or not, we
are bound because Jesus has commanded u.s.
| The gloly OF our religion Is that IL Is so much
! like God that it is often above reason and re-
qutres us to accept Ito walk by faith and not
| by sight. If we could reason out, there would
be no use Of revelation or divine teaching. lie
| is dangerous soldier in any army, who dis
| trusts the wisdom and questions the orders Of
| his Captain. In Christ's army, that man has
| found a charter where the command Is plain
| In II, obedience Is ours results are Gods
| Educate the pagan ont Of heathensm, 1t would
be easy TO persuade them Into Christianity. We
must either preach The gospel TO the heather or
disobey the word Of God HI. mandate Is rea-
son enough for carrying the gospel to the heath
| en-. The advantage TO be gained by the heath
| en- and ourselves rs well as the glory that would
| result. to God from the Evangaization of the
heather world, might be illustrated by the
stars, throwing light in both directions aud thus
making assurance douby sure. The true glory
| Of conquorer lies not in the number of slain,
Oh the number OF captivcs brought off the Held
| nor In the SPOTS taken IN battle, but, In the
smallnpss Of the conquerer's loss; inthe number
OF his forces brought otf the field unhurt. The
conversion Of the heather will cause their voice
| to swei the glories Of His praise, their numbers
will s@ell the lesons of His countless army
Not until the Gospel has been accepted by every
nation, will 1t have proved Its adaptation to the
universal wants OF men and demonstrated its
ability to ransom the race. The followers of Bud
dahisin and MobaIneiism are more than dou-
| ble the Christian army. When we talk about
Christianity being universal religion. we are
told Christianity has yet To prove her claim
that her achievements have been eclipsed by re-
ligions that are dying OF age. And, for aught we
know Christianity, may have her day as they
have had and altar carrying conquest half way
around the globe may give way and make place
tor other systems. When the cross shall have
been planted on every shore aud religion EN-
what II Is III theory-a universal religion.
