| LOVE IHcARSATE
Love is declared by Christ to be the one
supreme principle upon which the final
| Judgment is conducted. The life of Jesus
| Christ was Il supreme service of love-
| He came to minister, not to be ministered
nnto. His life was one supreme mys-
| terry of love He stands at the gates Of
| the city and heals the sick. He unstops
the ears of tho deaf, opens the eyes of
the blind, heals the lepers, weeps by the
grave of the loved dead, calls back the
| broken life. His whole life was one su-
preme effort of love toward man. He
broke his life as box of rich perfume
and poured it out without stint He
sought to give the world home; he had
none for himself Foxes had holes and
the birds Of the air nests, but he had not
where to lay his head.
To be a Christian is to believe in
Christ; that is, not to believe anything
about him, but to believe in him. That
is. to eat his flesh and drink his blood,
to partake of his life and his spirit! AS
he inCarnated the truth, to incarnate the
truth. As we incarnate his spirit, so are
we of Christ. His spirit is the spirit of
love. Love is the universal judge. the
principle Of love the only statute by
which the race of man is to be arraigned.
This principle is not confined in it's ap-
phcation to the territory of the Bible or
the preacher. 1t is not limited by the
limitations Of language.
TIE VOICE OF TEARS
Love is the universal language of the
race IL all ages, all nations, all chimes
L may not be able to understand my
neighbor in foreign tongue, but if see
in his eye the tear Of suffering, | know
the language Of tears. All hearts are
tuned to the universal language Of love.
The sigh, the groan, the tear, the heart
ache are words known to every human
heart and interpreted by every human
heart. By this universal principle is
man to be judged by Christ The
heathen world that has never heard of
Christ shall rise before his throne and
be judged by this eternal truth, and
from among them there will be those
who look in establishment upon the face
Of the Judge and exclaim in wonder,
when saw We thee ahungered or
Rthlr8t or sick or in prison or a stran-
GER And Love from the throne of a
universe shall answer: "Inasmuch as
ye did It unto the least Of these my
brethren, III sorrow and suffering. We
did 1t unto me. Enter"
Faith is moral attitude of the soul.
Christianity is such faith embodied in
q life Of love. A man who practices one
thing and processes another is what he
practices, not what he processes. Real
Christianity is that power that trans
forms the life of man and rules it by the
principle of love. So that man Who
teeIs It's divine power can walk up and
take his enemy by the hand and forgive
and forget all the bitterness and hatred
OF the past in the supreme thought Of
Christian love. The Christianity that
has not this Transforming power in life
Is sham and a delusion. The Chris !
tlanity that has this power is its own
ylnd1catlon, is inyincible in it's eternal
power.
