THE SHINING LIGHT.
Sermon by Rev. d. E. Frierson, D. D., Of
Anderson, Delivered at Cokesbury Dur
ing the Meeting Of the South Carolina
Presbytery.

ssLet your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, &C." Mat
thew v, 10.
i So Ye,' 2 said Jesus, ARE the light Of the
world Not Caiaphas or Alexander, but
"ye." Peter, James and John, humble
fishermen. Ye that are learners of the
Gospel and willing to. follow me. Ye.
that are sufficiently interested in the
kingdom of heaven TO-. lose time from
your occupation to converse upon and
study the great subjects. Ye that are
willing to hear the reproach Of enthusi-
asts !; that are not offended atthe poverty
and plainness of Jesus. "Ye are the
light of the world. Let your light so
shine before men, &C."
The lawyers and doctors of the Sanhe.
drim are far more learned in Rabbinical
lore aud occupy far higher positions of
influence and power. But their learning
is not the kind that men most need. The
knowledge which makes grand Doctor
and consequential ecclesiastic; man
floating in the regions ofa fanciful theol-
ogy ,puffeth up the professor without ra-
dating a genial light. It is knowledge
which does not generate love for the raca:
q knowledge barren of "good works" The
true light Of the Christian is "good works"
