trying in every nation, from the first to
the last, to find expression.
1t seemed very strange that when we
compared some of the preaching that Is
gaining ground in pulplts with some OF
the literature that is springing from
The Minds Of Men,
cultured, capable, but free-thinkers, the
thinkers seem to be more in a line
with the real truth than the preachers:
lie inStanced Sir Edwin Arnold, and
gave three statements from recent ut
teranceS. One referred to that scholars
visit to the Lick observatory, his exam
inatiOn of the stars under the great tele-
scope, his feeling of wonder at the vast
ness of the universe and the fact that
universe so vast was held so completely
under the rule of law; his surprise at
the Elasticity of Nature, and the fact
matter in some of its forms becomes
almost spiritual, and the awe he felt
in the Supreme Presence as all these
things perYaded his mind. CARRYING what
humber have felt under similar condi-
tons, is we'll expressed i'll the declar-
alton of Wordsworth: "Andssl nave
felt presence that disturbs me with
sense of elevated thought A second
reference concerned the eXperience OF
man standing in the. midst OF danger Ill
the desert 'zerahas." of the 9Soudan,
but declaring, as Malt WhitmaB has de-
clared, that if the .D9tg
Bullet of tile Enemy.
OF the teeth of the enemy shall end us,
then we NAV cry alarm, for we are be-
trayed by the promise that the conStltu-
ton of our nature has made. And the
third instance referred to man who
leaped from the taffrall of steamer,
without personal interest, and by lIn-
pulse, to save life. And the conclusion
is that here is man who feels that we
are immortal because he believes i'll the
integrity of our spiritual instincts ana
feels that nature has given us promise,
and feels that all the sufferingS of sac
rifle are fraught with significance IN
view of this inner promise. And this,
continued the preacher, is the founda-
ton of the belief as it is found In the
Bible.
He closed this sermon with two
observations: hold this is not natural
OF right to think that the few people
who are among the twice born of the
churches of this city are the only ones
who have in them the life OF Christ, the
spirit of Christianity and the eternal
life. | hold that if there was dlstln-
gushing grace for the immortal man he
should bear it OH his forehead and be
known of all men; but that instead, ali
men are mixture of good and evil the
best cannot boast, and the worst have
hope; aud that it is our problem to
develop to good and eliminate the evil.
And l hold that in the sacrifices, Sor-
rows and sufferingS of men there is the
promise of something better. That Ill
the fOrbearances of life. in the promises
that Nature holds out 10 the faithful, Ill
the sUfferingS incident to life of duty
there is a promise that men have felt i'll
all ages, and that it has meaning. And
so | believe that the language which
Jesus spoke clearer than all others is the
language that in our nature and cOnStl-
tuition, and is true; that we are by ma
ture endowed with the immortal, eter-
nal and everlasting life.
